220 Main Street,

THE Opposition is accusing the state government of lying over its claim to be searching for the best site for Victoria’s second container port.

The Labor government has all but backed away from choosing Western Port and is overseeing the slow demise of the Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA).

And now, with its intention of leasing the Port of Melbourne for 50 years with a guarantee of compensation if there is competition from another major port, the government appears to have abandoned its plan for another container port.

The greatly diminished PoHDA says it is investigating investment opportunities for Hastings to become a “bulk port”, but imports of petroleum products and exports of LNG have dropped markedly in the past two decades. (Port planner slashes jobs’, The News 26/5/15.)

Environment groups have already expressed their concerns about Hastings used to export coal and the government would be sure to face their ire if that was the “bulk” product chosen to replace containers.

“Labor lied to both the Western Port and Geelong communities prior to last year's state election when it assured them both it would take genuine expert advice [from Infrastructure Victoria] on where Victoria's next port and the thousands and thousands of jobs that would be created with it, should be located,” Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess said last week.

“Labor has told lie after lie in order to further its selfish political objectives.

“In a complete contradiction of everything it has had to say over the last decade about our state's desperate need for a second container port, Labor did what it always does when private

enterprise turns up with a bag of money - it got giddy and fell over.

“Instead of the thousands of jobs that would be created and tens of thousands of Victorian jobs that would be protected through maintaining our state's logistics' industry national leadership, Labor wants to trade our state's future away for a short term financial fix.”

The previous Coalition government, of which Mr Burgess was a member, had promised the PoDHA $110 million of four years to plan for a port at Hastings.

The authority is estimated to have already spent $30 million, but the money has all but dried up with the passing of Labor’s first budget.

Mornington MP David Morris told The News that dredging Port Phillip for large ships “in 20, 30 or 40 years” would make the 2008 channel deepening project “look very small scale”.

On Thursday he told Parliament ships were “growing beyond the capacity of Port Phillip Heads”.

He said the previous Labor government had wasted so much time that Hastings, could not be developed to meet the demands of international shipping and “the only action left … was to deepen the Port Phillip Heads”.

“Here we are again, only a decade on, and we have a new Labor government confidently expecting that the Heads will be able to sustain our trade for 50 years,” Mr Morris said.

“There can only be two outcomes from this policy decision: either Melbourne will surrender its role in trade to the rest of Australia or Port Phillip Heads will be deepened again and again.

Any way you look at it, it is a bad decision.”

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer sees the decision to not develop a container port at Hastings as a further economic blow to the region.

School readies for buildings but MP doubts funding MOOROODUC Primary principal Peter Quigley is getting ready to choose architects for a new teacher resource centre and administration block funded by a $1 million grant allocated in the recent state budget.

“The $1 million is certain,” he said.

“It is to be fully funded within the next months. We have done quite well.”

However, Mornington MP David Morris doubts that the full amount needed for the new buildings will come through.

“Promises have been made to a great many schools, the projects promised far exceed the funds available. Let’s hope Moorooduc is not one of them ... but the fact remains there is no money specifically for Moorooduc in the budget.”

Mr Quigley says Moorooduc Primary had been “neglected by governments for the past 50 years – now we are catching up”.

“We received $300,000 for a water treatment facility in 2012 and $759,000 last year to refurbish six classrooms and a library - work which will be finished in a fortnight. And now we have received $1 million in the budget to choose architects for the resource centre and administration block.”

The money was contained in the

state budget’s $207 million Education – School Upgrades fund to renovate, refurbish and rebuild 46 schools - with 19 other schools funded for maintenance and planning projects.

“Both Osborne Primary School and Mornington Primary School were promised rebuilds by the Brumby government, but they were never funded,” Mr Morris said.

“The tactic was to get architects in, get the plans drawn, but not fund the construction.

“I notice Mr Quigley says they have money for architects, I hope this is not an indication this government is going down the same path.”

Mr Morris said the previous Coalition government in 2014 announced funding of $759,000 to update the school’s ageing infrastructure.

“As this month’s budget papers clearly show, works to the value of $58,000 was undertaken in the current financial year, $571,000 is scheduled for 2015-16, with the balance of the project to be completed in 2016-17.

“There is no new project for Moorooduc Primary School, and the only existing project was funded by the Coalition in 2014. Not one additional cent has been allocated in the coming year.”

Fatal crash: A young woman died when her car collided with a utility in Robinson’s Rd, Pearcedale, on Friday.

Picture: Gary Sissons

Woman dies after three cars collide A WOMAN died following a three-car crash in Pearcedale on Friday.

The incident occurred at the intersection of Robinsons Rd and the Western Port Highway just after 5pm.

Police believe the 19-year-old Mt Eliza woman was travelling west on Robinsons Rd when she entered the

intersection and collided with a north bound Ford Ranger utility.

They said the utility, which was towing a trailer, then hit another vehicle which was attempting to turn left onto the highway.

The woman, who was the sole occupant in the car, was airlifted to The

Alfred hospital but died on arrival.

Four men in the utility and a mother and her nine-month-old baby in the third car were not injured.

Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

The state’s road toll stands at 112; it was 108 this time last year.

Taking control to change life for the better FORMER police officer turned business and life coach Ruth Cyster-Stuettgen wants women to know they can have a bright future no matter how dark the present can be.

The mother-of-three has turned her life around after leaving an abusive situation and has written a book called From Misery to Mastery: Journey to Freedom and Empowerment as a guide for anyone who has “ever felt lost, helpless or scared of what your life has become�.

She hopes the book can find an audience with “women who are suffering in silence behind closed doors� and give women tips and strategies to empower themselves to make a change. “The reason why I wanted to write the book was to use it as a tool for myself to heal and to be a voice for other women going through the same thing.�

The book includes practical exercises to enable women to forgive themselves for tolerating abusive situations due to feeling isolated before seeking support.

The author’s own life has been a journey to seek freedom from oppression. In the early 1980s her family left South Africa and moved to Australia. “We left to basically escape the Apartheid regime and have a better life in Australia,� she said.

After studying for a degree at La Trobe University, Ms Cyster-Stuettgen joined Victoria Police and spent time living in Germany after leaving the force.

Despite an outwardly happy disposition and life, she said appearances can be deceiving.

Strong advice: Ruth Cyster-Stuettgen has written a book she believes can help women navigate themselves away from unhappy and abusive domestic situations.

Picture: Yanni

“There are so many women out there in an abusive situation who don’t appear to be going through things like that and that’s a dangerous thing. “Try to be strong enough to step out and create of seek help from support systems to not have to be scared of consequences of speaking out.�

Ms Cyster-Stuettgen used to attend domestic violence incidents during her time in the police force and she believes the way authorities in the legal system deal with such cases has improved since the 1980s. “Decide that enough is enough, and take control of your life – move to-

wards one of peace, love and success, for yourself and your family.�

From Misery to Mastery: Journey to Freedom and Empowerment published by Busybird Publishing will be officially launched at Petersen’s Bookstore, 103 High St, Hastings on Sunday 14 June, 3-5pm with special guest Rose Batty, domestic violence campaigner and Australian of the Year.

Entry is free. Light refreshments will be provided.

Western Port News 2 June 2015

No counter staff for Somerville police POLICE have all but confirmed there will be no public service counter at the soon-to-be-opened Somerville police station.

Acting chief commissioner Tim Cartwright says he does not think the demand will justify taking police away from neighbouring police stations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My judgement is that I would prefer to have those members available for patrols to Somerville and surrounding areas rather than take them from the neighbouring stations to provide a counter service which I do not think justifies the commitment,â&#x20AC;? Mr Cartwright told the public accounts and estimates committee on 12 May, adding that a final decision had yet to be made.

He said operating a public counter at Somerville would require four fulltime police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I anticipate that we will not provide a counter service from that, but I need to reiterate that we have not made that final decision,â&#x20AC;? Mr Cartwright said.

A petition calling for a public inquiry counter and a public meeting at Rosebud protesting against police been drained from other Mornington Peninsula stations have preceded the opening of the new police station at the corner of Eramosa Rd West and Coolart Rd. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy, Mornington MP David Morris, compared the situation at Somerville to an episode of the Yes Minister involving â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hospital that worked beautifully as long as there were no patientsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In other words, if you happen to live in Somerville, you need to drive to Mornington or Hastings to get police advice or police assistance, even though there is a $16.3 million brand-new

police station in Somerville,â&#x20AC;? Mr Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not unnaturally, the Somerville community are not particularly happy about that. Minister, Somerville police station may well be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I think it would almost have to be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first brand-new police station to open without access to the public in the entire history of this state.â&#x20AC;?

Police Minister Wade Noonan said Victoria Police was responsible for staffing issues at police stations with the independence of the chief commissioner being reinforced by the previous Coalition government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would probably even draw your attention to a range of police stations throughout the eastern suburbs that the previous government promised would be open certain hours of the day that the previous chief commissioner started to push back on, around operational grounds,â&#x20AC;? Mr Noonan said.

As reported in The News on 7 April, police sources said that Somerville will house 80 police, including highway patrols now based at Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud, 30 detectives from Rosebud, 11 from Hastings and 10 from Mornington and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the crime deskâ&#x20AC;? from Frankston.

Danielle Fleeton, of police media, said there were no plans to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;counter serviceâ&#x20AC;? at Somerville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Somerville community can continue to make face-to-face inquiries at nearby stations, including Hastings and Mornington,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community receives a 24-hour police response [by calling 000] from across the Mornington Peninsula police service area. In addition, there are specialist police servicing the whole division.â&#x20AC;?

Father Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lunchtime talk FATHER Bob Maguire, enigmatic champion of the down-and-out and the much loved â&#x20AC;&#x153;peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priestâ&#x20AC;?, was at his charming best when speaking to a packed house at Peninsula Home Hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (PHH) annual lunch at Rosebud Country Club.

A man with many stories to tell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some happy, some sad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Father Bob was at the event held to raise funds for PHH and lift awareness of homebased palliative care in the community. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lunch featured Moira Kelly and raised more than $6000.

The group aims to provide home-based specialist palliative care that optimises quality of life and

honours the hope for comfort, choice, dignity and peace. Palliative care focuses on quality of life, helps people to live as well as possible and, when the time comes, to die in comfort.

Last year PHH supported 800 people living with a life-threatening illness as well as their families and carers.

A very active group of women, PHH Mornington auxiliary has been hosting events and raising money for home-based palliative care since 1994, with Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paddy Carter as president for many of those years.

Indigenous gift to shire inspired by Dali THE shire’s cultural heritage officer Adam Magennis has presented to deputy mayor Cr Graham Pittock a painting of Aboriginal motifs inspired by Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali.

The gift was to mark the council’s annual presentation of the Reconciliation progress report as well as recognition of National Reconciliation Week 2015.

Other activities included a smoking ceremony and ceremonial dancing.

Mr Magennis – a qualifed archaeologist who advises shire planners, government agencies and developers about cultural heritage management – said his work contained everything from “insects in the soil to stars in the galaxy”, and included elements such as “surf at Sixteenth beach on the ocean coast at Rye; Arthurs Seat, which is known as Wonga; and Bunjil the eagle, an ancestral being”.

He told councillors, shire officers and members of the public at the council meeting in Rosebud Memorial Hall last week that the painting could also be viewed upside down, which brought laughter.

After the painting’s presentation, shire officers Peter Sibly of the social planning and community development department, and Aboriginal support and development policy officer Glenys Watts told councillors the shire had been widely praised for its active involvement in Reconciliation for more than a decade through community development,

social support, advocacy, leadership, partnerships and policy development and implementation, social planning, promotion of cultural awareness, and cultural heritage protection.

They said the shire was one of the top 12 municipalities promoting Reconciliation and had received a high commendation from the Victorian Local Governance Association and Reconciliation Victoria.

It was listed among the top three municipalities in Victoria for its support of Reconciliation activities, and its website “was considered one of the most informative and best designed in Victoria”.

Councillors voted to reaffirm the shire’s commitment to Reconciliation, support of the Aboriginal gathering place Willum Warrain at Hastings, continue its engagement with traditional owners over cultural heritage and caring

Hopes for a free ride crushed FIVE unregistered motorbikes have been destroyed after being seized by police.

The vehicles were among nine mini-bikes, motorbikes and one motorised scooter impounded under an amendment to a Mornington Peninsula local law that imposes a $500 release fee.

Just four of the motorbikes were reclaimed by their owners who came from Hastings, Bittern, Crib Point, Tyabb, Rosebud and Mornington.

“None of the bikes crushed were able to be registered as they were not in a roadworthy condition,” Claire Smith, the shire’s environment protection and community safety manager, said.

Police were given power to seize the unregistered recreational vehicles when the shire changed its local law in 2014.

“Our top priority is community safety, and to deter illegal and dangerous behaviour. It is unfortunate some people still choose to do the wrong thing,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said.

Cr David Garnock said illegal use of unregistered recreational vehicles was dangerous.

“Riding unregistered recreational motorbikes without the proper safety equipment on land not designed for the purpose is not only dangerous,

CELSIUS

SALE but also offenders can risk losing their bike or facing a fine,” he said.

“The illegal use of these bikes is also dangerous in the broader community, and can cause property damage or present a threat to people.”

The illegal use of recreational vehicles can be reported by calling 000 during the event, or information can be given by calling 1800 333 000 or the Hoon Hotline on 1800 664 666.

Have a say on Coolart speed PUBLIC comment is being sought on a proposed speed reduction in Coolart Rd, between Baxter and Balnarring.

VicRoads is assessing a cut in speeds from 90kph to 80kph as “speed is a big contributing factor to the safety along this road”.

It says the possible reduction is supported by Victoria Police and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The 17.4 kilometre stretch of rural road between Frankston-Flinders Rd, Baxter and Frankston-Flinders Rd, Balnarring has “a significant crash history”, VicRoads says.

In the five years from January 2010 to December 2014 it was the scene of 32 crashes in which people sustained injuries - including three fatalities.

Present road safety improvements along Coolart Rd include a number of roundabouts, the most recent at Bittern-Dromana Rd. A roundabout is being built at Hodgins Rd, Hastings.

VicRoads says a speed reduction would significantly improve safety along the road while only adding about 90 seconds travel time.

It says a speed reduction is the most effective short-term measure to improve safety, but that it will gauge the need for further infrastructure improvements in future.

VicRoads is seeking community feedback through a survey, which it says should take about five minutes to complete. The survey will close 5pm, 7 June.

Stand out

Thieves go window shopping DRIVERS who think it’s OK to leave handbags, wallets or money in cars parked in residential streets or driveways should think again.

That’s the advice from police on the Mornington Peninsula who are frustrated that thefts from vehicles are on the rise again - with almost 70 offences committed in a recent three-week period.

“Most of these vehicles were left unsecured with money and valuables clearly on display,” Detective Acting Sergeant Rob Vine, of Rosebud CIU, said.

“We are seeing many thefts where thieves are particularly looking for mobile phones, wallets and handbags which contain identification and credit cards, which they then use to commit further fraud offences. It has a significant flow-on effect.

“Drivers should ask themselves: ‘Can I really afford to lose what is inside and to pay for the re-

NEW QUOTE

pairs to my car?’ Detective Acting Sergeant Vine said.

“They really do need to consider the inconvenience and related costs of having a smashed car window repaired, and replacing stolen items, as well as then potentially having to deal with a credit card fraud.”

Police say offenders look for easy pickings inside vehicles. “If they see something through the window they will go for it. We are actively investigating and pursuing offenders responsible for these thefts, but we would also greatly appreciate the co-operation of the public by not leaving valuables inside their vehicles and making sure they are always locked.

“It obviously won’t stop all of these crimes happening but it will certainly help,” Detective Acting Sergeant Vine said. “Crime prevention is a ‘whole of community’ responsibility.”

Little chance of container port at Hastings

Bon voyage: State government plans look certain to keep container ships heading into the Port of Melbourne rather than to a new terminal at Hastings.

Picture: Keith Platt

Continued from Page 1 “After six months under Labor the south-east Melbourne region is going backwards, with major road, rail and now freight projects being scrapped, and the peninsula environment and tourism industry again under threat from dredging,” Frankston mayor Cr Mayer said.

In the lead up to last November’s state election the then mayor Cr Darrel Taylor was touting Frankston as being ideally situated as the proposed port’s commercial hub.

Much has changed in the following six months and Cr Mayer is now calling on the government to make “a serious injection of funds from the Jobs and Investment Fund and the Regional Jobs Fund into the south-east Melbourne region, or else our residents will have every right to feel forgotten about after helping deliver Labor into power”.

Opposition leader Matthew Guy said the Liberal National Coalition supports leasing of the Port of Melbourne “in conjunction with the development of a second container port for Victoria”.

Mr Guy’s statement was released along with quotes from present ministers and the Premier Daniel Andrews when they too backed Hastings or Bay West, near Geelong in Port Phillip, for a container port.

“That’s why it makes no sense that Daniel Andrews now says Victoria won’t need a second container port for at least 50 years,” Mr Guy stated. To prohibit the development of a second container port for the next 50 years is highly irresponsible, anti-competitive and will cost Victoria jobs.

“What Daniel Andrews is effectively doing is providing a leaseholder with a 50 year monopoly.”

Council scraps planning group Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SHIRE councillors have abolished the council committee that deals with major planning matters on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Development Assessments Committee (DAC) was scrapped via a late-night Notice of Motion at the council meeting in Rosebud on Monday 25 May. Planning matters will now be dealt with at ordinary council meetings.

The motion was put up by Cr Hugh Fraser who has pushed for what he calls the streamlining of council processes

and procedures since last October.

This was when the balance of power on the council changed following the election of Cr Tim Wood, who replaced Frank Martin.

When the vote was called, five councillors wanted to retain DAC and five wanted it ditched. Deputy mayor and meeting chairman Cr Graham Pittock (filling in for the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb) used his casting vote to break the deadlock.

Four days later, local state MP Martin Dixon said he had received calls from residents who were “rightly confused and angry about the need for this latest council decision”.

“They see the integrity of our entire planning process being severely undermined,” he said.

He said the decision would give councillors “and the public less time and less ability to scrutinise all planning applications”.

“In response to strident ... requests from across my electorate, I will be asking the Minister for Local Government to intervene and help restore transparency, scrutiny and consistency to all planning matters currently before council.”

Mr Dixon’s and other residents’ concerns were refuted by Cr Colomb. She told The News bringing planning mat-

ters into the Monday night ordinary council meeting (OCM) was a positive step although she would have preferred a trial period.

“I’ve spoken to many councillors across Victoria in my travels and it is common practice to have planning at OCMs,” she said.

“In our region, Frankston and Greater Dandenong councils have this and so do many other councils across the state.

“I can guarantee to Mr Dixon and others that this won’t remove the rights of people who want to speak at council meetings about planning issues.”

In a statement to The News, Cr Fraser

said council meeting procedures and briefings had been “simplified and regularised”.

“A multi-layered complex of council committees has been dismantled and the community will now be able to review the whole suite of council business at one fortnightly public, open and transparent council meeting.”

Councillors voting to scrap DAC were Tim Wood, Lynn Bowden, Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser and Graham Pittock. Against were Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, David Gibb and Antonella Celi.  See Council Watch on Page 12 and Cr Hugh Fraser’s letter Page 16.

Claws bared over cattery Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A RATEPAYERS association and an animal rights political party are lined up against the alleged poor treatment of cats at Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pound.

The clash involves the banning of two volunteers from the pound in Watt Rd, Mornington, in February, amid claims the building had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;ignored by the shire and is dilapidated, dangerous and does not comply with the code of practice for the operation of sheltersâ&#x20AC;?.

Doris Campbell of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association wrote to shire CEO Carl Cowie in April saying $250,000 in the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014-15 budget for a cattery â&#x20AC;&#x153;has not gone beyond the planning stage, when it should be nearing completion and ready for operationâ&#x20AC;?.

The Animal Justice Party says it will field candidates at the next council election.

Meanwhile, the shire has defended its treatment of stray animals and says it will spend $250,000 on a new cattery at the pound.

Ms Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter also criticised the layout of the shelter, which places new arrivals with â&#x20AC;&#x153;old handsâ&#x20AC;?, increasing the chances of spreading highly contagious cat flu. Ms Campbell said concerns over the disease had led to the euthanising of all cats at the pound in December and again in April â&#x20AC;&#x153;just in case some of them may have had the virusâ&#x20AC;?.

The residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association wants two outbuildings converted into quarantine

areas each with five cages and the appointment of a full-time manager to act as a link between staff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration.

It wants volunteers reinstated â&#x20AC;&#x153;especially in the mornings when the workload is heaviest; cleaning cages, filling water bowls, grooming cats and checking for illnessâ&#x20AC;?.

During public question time at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting at Rosebud Memorial Hall, Ms Campbell said volunteers had complained about being excluded from the cattery until 2pm each day.

Sustainable environment director Steve Chapple said operations at the shelter were â&#x20AC;&#x153;under reviewâ&#x20AC;?.

In a memo to staff on 1 May, Mr Cowie had said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Wednesday I attended an afternoon tea for the volunteers and animal rescue groups who work closely with our animal shelter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working with the community now on the design and positioning of a new cattery for that facility and some general overall improvement works to the shelter to enhance the profile and working environment for our valued staff and also the public who visit the facility.â&#x20AC;?

The Animal Justice Party has foreshadowed running candidates at next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council elections â&#x20AC;&#x153;in an effort to provide a voice for the voicelessâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We call on the current councillors and CEO to take animal issues seriously and provide the best possible care for dogs and cats in our community,â&#x20AC;? the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah Davison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peninsula residents expect the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animal shelter to be best practice and we should be aiming for a No

Kill municipality. [Yet], in December 2014, there was an outbreak of cat flu at the shelter and 19 cats were subsequently killed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cat flu is a treatable illness and many Victorian rescue groups regularly treat and re-home cats who have suffered cat flu,â&#x20AC;? Ms Davison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kind of killing is no longer acceptable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have since been outbreaks of both cat flu and kennel cough, with dire impacts for animals. Inadequate quarantine areas and procedures must be addressed immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over 12 months to January 2015, the shire had an average kill rate for cats of 18 per cent and a high of 27 per cent in February 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no killâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rates are generally accepted as 10 per cent or below.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Davison said â&#x20AC;&#x153;whistleblower volunteersâ&#x20AC;? had witnessed ongoing breaches of the Code of Practice for shelters and pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These brave people have contacted the mayor and councillors, and met with the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO Carl Cowie, but only small improvements have been undertaken,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furthermore, onerous partnership agreements are being imposed on rescue groups, which make significant demands while offering very little support. Without the assistance of rescue groups, the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kill rate would be a lot worse, yet these groups are provided with no financial help whatsoever.â&#x20AC;?

Volunteers who complained about conditions at the pound were â&#x20AC;&#x153;banned for a whileâ&#x20AC;?, Ms Campbell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were told there was no one to supervise them yet no one was supervising them anyway,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

manager was let go two years ago to save money and things just fell away.â&#x20AC;?

Shire environment protection and community safety manager Claire Smith said she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointed with the allegations, given the lengths the shire goes to reunite lost pets with their owners and re-home unclaimed animalsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are committed to our responsible pet ownership program, and services and initiatives as outlined in our Domestic Animal Management Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community animal shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedicated team of officers care for more than 2000 lost pets 365 days a year. The team strives for best practice, and they strive to successfully reunite animals with their owners or re-home the animals that come into our care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud of being one of the few municipalities that still runs and operates a community animal shelter and have recently allocated $250,000 to build a new cattery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Statistics for animals returned to their owners and those that are rehomed are very good. Before a decision to euthanise a cat or dog is made, all other possibilities are considered and it is always as a last resort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be noted that cats often arrive at the shelter in very poor condition, especially when they have never fully enjoyed the benefits of a responsible animal owner.

The mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shire CEO Carl Cowie and I, together with other officers, recently consulted with our valued volunteers and rescue groups at a volunteer afternoon about the cattery concept plans.â&#x20AC;?

New partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display A NEW political party formed in April is holding an information session at Frankston 5-6pm on Tuesday 9 June in Frankston Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long room, 60 Playne St. The national convener of PIBCI (Public Interests Before Corporate Interests) is Dr Joe Toscano, a medical practitioner with a history of political activism who stood as an independent in the Frankston electorate at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state election.

The meeting has been organised by Frankston resident Gillian Collins, an environmental campaigner and co-organiser of the 12-week picket that tried to stop bulldozing of part of the historic Westerfield estate in Frankston South for the Peninsula Link freeway in 2010.

Dr Toscano has campaigned on issues such as Medicare, the ABC, public housing, corporate welfare, and indigenous matters.

PIBCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website states the party aims â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure the interests of the Australian public are put before the interests of unaccountable corporations whose major responsibility is to create everincreasing profits ... irrespective of the human, social, environmental and national costsâ&#x20AC;?.

Western Port News 2 June 2015

A gritty time wrestling with unmade car parks Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE shire has more than 250 unsealed car parks and asphalting the 25 at the top of a newly created priority list could take up to 15 years and cost $10 million.

These and other mind-boggling statistics were presented to the council at its 25 May meeting in Rosebud when councillors wrestled with the usefulness or otherwise of the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unmade car park construction strategyâ&#x20AC;?.

A large number of resident complaints are generated by unsealed car parks scattered throughout the 720-square kilometre shire with its 42 townships.

Residents ring and complain about potholes. They complain about dust in summer and mud in winter; about people in wheelchairs getting stuck in ruts and holes, and toddlers falling over uneven ground Half the so-called top 25 are in commercial areas and could be financed by a â&#x20AC;&#x153;special charge schemeâ&#x20AC;? where traders would pay a levy but the shire wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force this on towns; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too unpopular and many traders would struggle to pay.

The shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team leader of infrastructure planning Ross Gregory faced a grilling from councillors as they batted for their own wards and debating the strategyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merits.

Mr Gregory said there were 25 category A car parks and 20 in category B that the shire intended to seal. Others would continue to be graded and have gravel laid.

Two councillors were miffed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;live matrixâ&#x20AC;? listing car parks had spelling, address and status errors.

Mr Gregory said they would be fixed.

Cr Lynn Bowden of Watson Ward (Somerville, Baxter, Tyabb) asked Mr Gregory how they had been ranked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any particular car parks?â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, all the ones in my ward,â&#x20AC;? she said to laughter.

Cr Bowden said residents had given up asking for car parks to be sealed as nothing ever happened. She was concerned well-used car parks like the one at Baxter Primary School were low on the list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly the parents using this car park would not agree with it being at number 38,â&#x20AC;? she said. Other councillors questioned the ranking of car parks in their patches.

Cr Hugh Fraser said if the shire sealed two car parks a year as was currently occurring it would take 125 years to complete them.

Cr David Gibb said many of the car parks were associated with schools on council-owned and Education Department land.

A staunch foe of cost shifting, he said the shire should not be sealing school car parks as it was a state government responsibility.

He said the Education Department had a policy of not spending money on footpaths for schools let alone car parks.

Category C car parks would never be sealed.

Cr Andrew Dixon called on his colleagues to approve the strategy. It went through 6-4.

Top 25 unmade car parks THIS is a list of the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 25 car parks to be sealed but it might take 15 years.

LETTERS Silent challenge I would like to support Greg Dixon’s comments (“Develop for jobs”, Letters, The News, 26/5/15). He has logically reminded us of the opportunities that are being lost on the Mornington Peninsula because of the selfish attitude of residents who are stuck in a time warp and are frightened of change. I have personally been affected by this attitude in Mt Eliza where minority resident groups are significantly influencing council and political decisions while claiming to be the voice of the majority.

While Greg’s suggestion of public moratoriums is commendable I do not believe they will work. My experience has shown the resident minority groups are dominated by retirees with time to kill. They appear to network with similar groups across the peninsula and I believe would dominate any moratorium.

Our challenge is to make the silent majority (90 per cent) aware of what is happening and to motivate them into action. I find it interesting that our local state and federal MPs have been part of the campaign in Mt Eliza that is preventing growth and employment opportunities.

Per Carlsen, Mt Eliza

Destructive development Greg Dixon’s letter (“Develop for jobs”, Letters, The News, 25/5/15) strengthened in my belief that the way we run the world now will surely lead to the complete destruction of our natural environment and, with that, a very slow and sad end to our species on this planet.

I believe a development at any cost attitude is mind-numbingly stupid.

Yes we can have some development in infrastructure for tourism on the peninsula but, and that is the big rider, if it comes always at the expense of the environment – like the over-thetop development of the Arthurs Seat gondola or the overdevelopment at the RACV resort in Cape Schanck, or the mega development of a port at Hastings – any sane person on the peninsula would say no.

When we have wall-to-wall housing and

industry on the peninsula, no one will want to come here anymore and the magnificent Western Port world heritage wetlands will be a thing of the past.

Of course with all these changes, the tourism jobs will finally be destroyed as well.

It is not inevitable that we have to choose a change for the worst, as Mr Dixon advocates, but we can have a healthy environment and jobs for the future. But only if we realise that we need to create jobs in new industries like alternative energy production, in high-tech and researchbased jobs. Just think of a “Silicon Valley” on all that industrial land north of Hastings.

This of course is almost impossible under the mind set of our present federal government, whose leader thinks climate change is crap.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Welfare reminders Why does your paper insist on reporting the whereabouts of animals in situations where they are vulnerable to those who would do them harm, in this instance seals under the pier? On previous occasions articles such as this one have resulted in animals being subjected to torture and subsequent death.

Claire Thonemann, Mornington Editor: In most instances the paper is alerted to the whereabouts of a seal by authorities or animal welfare groups that want members of the public reminded about animal protection laws.

Budget backlash I have come to the conclusion that the Labor Party, The Greens and the minor parties should pass the current federal budget without delay.

Let the Australian people experience the full horror of this nasty, vengeful policy agenda of this conservative government, which mistakenly calls itself the Liberal Party.

As always under the conservatives, it’s the vulnerable, the poor and the most disadvantaged who will suffer from these policies, be it pensioners, single-income families or the chronically ill, to name a few.

By the time the next election is due, the people

who voted for this mob will be thoroughly disillusioned with them once the full extent of these policies are implemented.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Thanks for advice The investigative skills on display by David Harrison (Council Watch, The News, 19/5/15) are a blessing to us all.

Without his surprisingly thorough analysis (and I’ve just submitted my last university research essay) we councillors would never have discovered the folly of our actions. Without his informative column adroitly deploying an online home loan repayment calculator, I’d have had no idea that it costs more in interest to pay off a loan over a longer period of time.

It’s something I really should know. If current trends continue, my generation and those that follow are unlikely to find a home on the Mornington Peninsula for under $1 million.

Perhaps I should’ve majored in finance.

It used to be that you’d have to trawl through archives of old periodicals and piles of textbooks in order to sufficiently prepare and reference a paper. You have my thanks, Mr Harrison, for showing me that quality analysis takes but a click of the mouse. Andrew Dixon, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor

Council changes The resolutions passed by council last Monday complete a suite of procedural reforms implemented by council since the Red Hill Ward by-election last year.

Community council meetings are now to be held once a year in each of the six wards and an informal agenda committee of councillors has been abolished as past its use by date eliminating cumbersome hard copy administrative procedures.

Planning matters not decided by officers under delegation have now been streamlined into council meetings on alternate Mondays and the Development Assessments Committee has been abolished. I can see no reason why council would depart from any rule or practice of that

committee enabling persons to make verbal submissions to council on a planning matter.

These resolutions build on earlier resolutions of council in October 2014 and March 2015 abolishing the Special Purposes Committee and introducing measures to promote greater transparency in dealing with matters of council business which fell within the statutory definition of confidential items but which did not actually contain confidential information.

Council has also put in place an orderly, regular system of alternate Monday briefings and council meetings not before 5pm. Council has resolved that all briefings are to be in writing except with the leave of the mayor, and measures were introduced by council to ensure brevity and conciseness of briefings.

Equally importantly, council’s resolution of October 2014 put in place a simple procedure enabling a ward councillor quickly to call in a ward planning application by a simple email to be dealt with, not by officers under delegation, but by councillors in council. This new procedure replaced a cumbersome Notice of Motion procedure unacceptably delaying the determination of the planning matter.

Council meeting procedures and briefings have been simplified and regularised. A multilayered complex of council committees has been dismantled and the community will now be able to review the whole suite of council business at one fortnightly public, open and transparent council meeting.

Hugh Fraser, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor

Volunteers denied As a result of several complaints about the poor conditions for animals at the Mornington Community Animal Shelter, volunteers have now been banned for most of the day since mid-February. Is this an appropriate way for Mornington Peninsula Shire to treat its hardworking and valuable volunteers?

Shame on you, shire bureaucrats, for caring more about money than the poor, defenceless animals in your shelter.

Frustration, accusations, effective politicking

By David Harrison Mornington Peninsula Shire community council meeting, Rosebud Memorial Hall, 25 May 2015. No personal account can be given of the meal, but it was up to the usual high standard, according to usually reliable sources.

THIS is a Council Listen rather than a Council Watch, as your correspondent was absent from the meeting. But there’s always the shire’s recording, which is posted on its website a few days later. So let’s soak up the drama and atmosphere without actually having been there.

Unsealed car parks appeared a straightforward agenda item until it was pointed out the shire had more than 250 across the peninsula.

It is anticipated that one or two will be sealed each year. This means the task might be finished in 125 years (by 2140) and, at worst, it might take until the Year of Our Lord 2265 – 250 years hence – before the last one is sealed. Of course by then there may be no need for car parks, as the End of the World may have intervened.

Is this a realistic report to bring forward, officers were asked. To which the reply was that two car park categories, A and B, will be (so to speak) first cabs off the rank and, yes, they will be dealt with over a mere 20 years or so. It might be possible to “leverage” funds to speed the process.

After a number of items that covered topics such as Anzac Centenary books, CEO Carl Cowie’s monthly report, and third quarter budget review, it was Notice of Motion time, where the excitement can often start, especially if the NoM is authored

by Cr Hugh Fraser. Indeed this one was.

The first motion was to restrict community (meet your councillors) meetings to one annually for each of the six wards, a drop of four. Cr Tim Wood argued this was plenty. Cr Antonella Celi, speaking against the motion, said it was unfortunate that the issue was being discussed “on the fly-by”. There should first have been a respectful, collegiate discussion with colleagues.

The fewer “meet, greet and eat meetings” view prevailed 7-3 and the road show moved on.

The value of the agenda committee was put on the block. Cr Celi opposed its axing.

She confessed to “experiencing some severe confusion” with the intent of the motion. But axed it was.

We must now take flight above the fray to the denouement of the meeting – Cr Fraser’s move to abolish the development assessment committee (DAC) altogether and deal with planning requests at ordinary council meetings.

The calm was over: now the storm. It started with a query on whether the amended motion could be heard. It got the OK. A fierce cold front, in the formidable form of Cr Celi, then swept through the chamber. Followed by Cr Anne Shaw, with a rhetorical question followed by her answer replete with expressions such as “undermining”, “shame on you” “disrespect, contempt for the community”, “a joke, and so is anyone who supports it”. But little logic.

Cr Andrew Dixon started with a deep sigh, and then came a crescendo. He was lost for words. “It’s blowing my mind,” he said. “It’s just phenomenally ridiculous – it’s stupid.”

There would be too little time to assess a development at a council meeting, he said.

“We’ll give you 13 seconds each to put across your point of view … we’ll take it on board; mmm, yeah, no, yeah, no, eeny-meeny-mineymo, yeh, nuh, nuh, nuh, not going through...”

Then, addressing those favouring abolition: “That’s transparency for you, guys. We take our job seriously; I hope you guys still do as well.”

After this, a pause and a thumping noise,

Caravan Sales, Repairs & Accessories

as if the councillor’s mic was somehow malfunctioning, or possibly had fallen off the desk. CW could only imagine the scene in the chamber. [Editor: It was Cr Dixon headbutting his microphone with frustration.]

After him, Cr David Garnock, calmly: “This motion is in my opinion just another example of a kneejerk, poorly thought-out, ill-judged, personal crusade by one particular councillor who believes he has a mandate to make changes to this council’s operations without first discussing the implications or the justifications for proposed changes with his fellow councillors and shire officers.”

The motion was brought when the mover knew the numbers would be in his favour. “I found this to be disgraceful in the past and I find the strategy disgraceful tonight,” he said.

The vote was tied. Cr Graham Pittock used his casting vote to allow the matter to be debated.

There ensued more debate about the actual motion with its five parts, much of it directed at Cr Fraser, but it was inevitable the abolition of DAC was in the tumbrel en route to the guillotine. But there was a powerful, underlying message in all this, expressed most robustly by Crs Shaw, Celi, Garnock and David Gibb – a huge collective frustration that they no longer exercise the almost untrammelled power they possessed before Cr Wood’s election last August.

It was a spectacular upswelling, best expressed

by Cr Garnock’s accusation that Cr Fraser brought the matter to council when he knew he would be able to get it passed. Disgraceful!

Nothing of the sort. CW doubts this was part of Cr Fraser’s thought process. If it was, it was good politics, an exercise of the art of the possible.

(The gallery emptied at about 10.30pm and councillors discussed in private a couple of tenders – $305,787 (plus GST) to replace firedamaged Warringine Park boardwalk between Hastings and Bittern, and $1,234,264 (plus GST) for a major drainage project at Mornington.)

Art among the roses DESIGNER Barry Johnson in 2002 gave Mornington Rose Gardens at Civic Reserve a series of pathways to allow visitors to wander freely while exploring the wide variety of roses.

His design allowed for sculptural elements where the paths intersected – and that’s now the site for three colourful sculptural “trees” that stand tall among their vibrant orange petals.

Last year, Melbourne-based builder Atkinson Pontifex entered two gardens in the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. One, designed by Paul Bangay, was awarded the gold medal. The other, by architect Giovanni Veronesi and entitled “Emerge”, was dedicated to the charity Family Life. His tapered trees were sculptural elements, forming the centrepiece of his garden.

The three tapered “trunks” of different heights create the form of trees with brightly coloured orange petals radiating outward. This garden, with the sculptural trees as its showpiece, was awarded the silver show garden award.

With an eye to beauty and form, the Mornington Rose Gardens committee approached Atkinson Pontifex to discuss the idea of using the trees as a sculptural element in their gardens.

With the help of an anonymous donor and the company, it was agreed and the trees have been installed.

Four new members joined WCCI at the breakfast. It was also announced that PeliKan Societe, of Hastings, had won a Certificate of Excellence from the world renowned Trip advisor.

Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowrie will speak at the next Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry business breakfast on Wednesday 16 September. It’s at Hastings Community Hub. Tickets can be bought at eventbrite or hellohastings.org.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Deadline reminders to ratepayers Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, for which they invite entries. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will offer for sale a good yarding of cattle, sheep and sundries. *** MR S. S. Price, dentist of Melbourne, will visit Frankston for the convenience of patients on Sunday, June 13th, and may be seen at Garrood’s Prince of Wales Hotel. *** MRS J. Reynolds, of Bay St Frankston has on view in the window a “towel tidy” which she intends raffling for the benefit of our wounded soldiers. As the price of the tickets are fixed at 1d and the object a praiseworthy one, there will doubtless be a large demand for them. *** THE tender of Mr R. Philbrick for £615 for additions to Somerville Mechanics’ Institute has been accepted, and the work will be put in hand very shortly, and when finished will add materially to the look of the building as well as to the comfort of the subscribers. Six tenders were received for the work. *** Rose Logan was charged at the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions on Monday, before Mr Cohen, P.M. and

Messrs Williams, Oates, and Grant, JPs., with travelling on the railway between Frankston and Langwarrin without a ticket, and a fine of 10s with 7/6 costs was recorded. *** A MONSTER temperance demonstration will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Somerville, on Monday evening next at 8 oclock, when the Hon. S. Mauger will give an address. First class Melbourne artists have been engaged. The chair will be taken by Mr Nelson Rudduck,J.P. No charge will be made for admission. *** MESSRS T. R. B, Morton and Sons notify by advertisement that they will hold an auction sale (through Mr J. L. Parks, one of their auctioneers) of town blocks at Hogan’s Hotel, Hastings, on Saturday, 12th June, at two o’clock p.m. Full particulars may be obtained from the auctioneers at 72 Swanston St, Melbourne, or at Bittern. *** RATEPAYERS are reminded that on or before Wednesday next,(10th June) all rates must be paid to entitle them to be placed on the ratepayers’ roll. The Shire Secretary will be in attendance at the various centres in the Shire from now up to the 10th inst on date specified in advertisement for the purpose of receiving rates. *** THE Aspendale, Chelsea and Carrum Electric Supply Company Ltd., are applying for an order-in-Council,

authorising them to extend its distribution mains to supply electricity in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings for public and private purposes. Any objection respecting the applications must be lodged within three months from the date of the advertisement appearing in the Government Gazette addressed to the Minister of Pubic Works. *** A COMMITTEE meeting of the Frank- ston Belgian Relief Fund was held on Tuesday June 1st when the monthly collecting cards were presented. There was a falling off in subscriptions compared to last month which was attributed to the introduction of the Belgian Buttons. But as that does not go to a local fund it was decided to still continue the card collecting.

The amount of cash in hand for the month is £6 11s 2d. Mr Hay acknowledges the sum of 18s 1d, the proceeds of a raffle conducted by Mrs Rimmer.

The following letter was read:— Miss Bertha Rogers and Miss D. Gregory, hon secs Ladies collecting committee Belgian Relief Fund. — Mesdames,— “I have great pleasure in informing you that at a public meeting of the Contributors to the above Fund held on the 19th inst, the fol- lowing resolution was unanimously passed:— ”That the best thanks of this meeting be accorded to the ladies collecting committee for their successful efforts

in collecting funds for the above object, and for the handsome sum of £15 contributed by them to the Frankston general Fund’.

I shall be pleased if you will convey the terms of the above resolution to your Committee. I may add that the meeting fully recognised the extent of the efforts of your Committee in collecting the above amount in small sums and expressed a hope that your Committee may be equally successful in future.” *** THE Emu Plains and Bittern races were held on Tuesday last, in fine weather. *** LANGWARRIN V NAVAL BASE. The game was clean and full of good football. Langwarrin must admit that they were met on Saturday by a far superior and a better trained team but had the guard used more accuracy in their kicking they may have stood a better chance.

The first quarter opened up by the base scoring a goal then off the game went just and clean, Every man was put to his toughest test, then guards started scoring behind after behind only getting 2 goals out of 10 shots which appeared to be quite easy, base getting 2 goals out of two shots.

The next round saw base well on the job getting 5 while the guards fought hard and played well for 1 behind.

Every man seemed to be getting the hard task they were now fighting

but all was clean and good.

The last quarter opened with the guards 12 points behind and kicking against the wind.

For the guards Dad Corbert and Hock Walker stood out alone, others who at times faired well were Capt Cousins, Conrick and S. Taylor.

The umpire’s task was difficult and but for a few mistakes he was considered in good order. *** A CROWDED house assembled at the Somerville Mechanics’ to listen to the efforts of the pupils and ex-pupils of the Somerville school on behalf of the local Red Cross Society. Mr Geo Griffith was chairman and spoke on the necessity for strenuous efforts for the fund of the Red Cross Society.

The concert was right up to the excellent standard that the pupils have hitherto set, in fact it is stated by many to have been the best heard for a considerable time.

The programme opened with national songs “Ye Mariners of England,” “When the Empire calls.”

Ring drill by some 30 infants under the direction of Miss Ruth Murray; military discipline by Gen. Grant and some bad soldiers accused of looting; an extract from “The Queen and the seasons” was excellently rendered by Miss Dorothy Thornell.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Rebel Wilson without a cause

By Stuart McCullough HOW dare you. Frankly, you should take all the money you’ve earned from those big Hollywood movies and buy yourself a large quantity of shame because it’s clear that you have none at present. Now that your lies have been exposed, I find myself questioning every truth I once held dear. Is the sky really blue? Are puppies truly adorable or is it just a ruse to mask an evil heart of darkness? Does Taylor Swift exist or was she invented by the Toshiba Corporation and originally given away in a box of cereal? I can’t believe in anything anymore. Thanks a lot Rebel Wilson.

As a forty three year old man, you’d expect I’d take this kind of devastating news in my stride. Guess again. Frankly, this changes everything. I’ll admit that when I first heard the news, I tried my best not to overact. For that reason, after falling to my knees and shaking my fists at the sky, I only spent an hour in sackcloth and fifteen minutes flagellating myself with some left over television cables before leaping to my keyboard and expressing my sense of anger, hurt and betrayal the way nature intended: on the internet.

Once online, I discovered that I was far from alone. Others were also trying to recover from this elaborate deception and were rightly asking whether the ‘real’ you would step from the shadows in which you have lurked for so long. It appears to me that you’ve given no thought at all to how lying about your age might make others feel once the truth was ultimately unveiled.

In fact, it’s as though you’ve not had a moment’s pause to consider the social contract that, as a performer, you have willingly entered. When you appear in a movie or a series and, in turn, that piece of entertainment is then made available for purchase, we’re not just buying your performance; we’re buying you. That’s right, Rebel. We own you.

So it’s only fair that I communicate my absolute sense of outrage in the clearest terms possible. Indeed, I haven’t felt this betrayed since learning that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had hooked up and I had to throw out all his albums as a precaution, lest I too should be seduced by the dark side of the Force. Why oh why! Until news of your subterfuge came to light,

They tell people to behave in a certain way, rarely, if ever, following that way themselves. “The winds which men most fear are those which uncover them” (Montaigne). *** MY concerns politically are with health, education, infrastructure, overseas aid and our disgusting treatment of asylum seekers.

It’s sad to see more people concerned about two dogs belonging to some pirate actor rather than those poor souls transferred to Cambodia ex Nauru.

On a personal level however, the changes in arts funding worries me.

Elia Kazan’s words ring true “I feel that artists are our only hope, today.

I see this country as sick. I think big business has succeeded in dominating and degrading our whole scene.

Our political leaders only want to stay in office and will do what’s necessary to that end. Our only hope is the men/women, those few men/ women, the artists, who tell us what we are and what we are doing and where we are heading. Only they might wake us up. Only they speak the truth or some of it. They yell when we all hurt, become furious when we are outraged, show us our shame, awake us from our habitual indifference”. *** ARTS Minister George Brandis has transferred $104 million from the Australia Council to the National Program for Excellence in the Arts to be administered by the Arts Ministry, Attorney-General’s Department. Read public servants?

A concentration on the higher uplifting types of culture (read ballet and opera) and the convenient necessity of putting all those drama lefties (read individual artists and small

groups) in their proper place, out of sight? ”Audiences should benefit,” George tells us, preferably audiences who admire visual spectaculars rather than the evils of criticism whatever the form.

“Excellence” as defined by George, before anything likely to challenge orthodoxies? Arts funding was always heavily dependent on “who you know”, not public servants, but often a facsimile.

Australia Council is (was?) protected by legislation, giving it “arm’s length” independence from government and political favours or prejudice towards individual applicants for funding. Not so now?

Either way Joseph Goebbels is smiling. *** OUR leaders?

Tony Abbott, whose promises destroyed the meaning of the word and continues with his personal program to destroy Labor, which is surely far removed from governing for all Australians.

Bill Shorten on science, technology, engineering and mathematics with no mention of art, music, literature and humanities, and a history of heavy involvement behind the dismissal of two Labor Prime Ministers.

Tony as a school bully, Billy as a man of straw.

Conundrum. *** SAD to witness Mick Malthouse’s slow painful demise. He did well at Collingwood; many a side performing above their natural talent.

Ushered out to make way for Eddie McGuire’s hero, via his cushy job offer and Eddie’s childish notion of great footballers making great coaches.

there was one thing I thought I knew about actors and it’s this: everything they say is absolutely true. That’s why Martin Sheen was such a great President. Now I don’t know what to think.

Turns out you aren’t twenty nine years old as previously claimed, but thirty six. That means that you and I are exactly the same age. I have to be honest and say that this puts a different perspective on everything. More than that, it raises some very serious questions of the ‘road less travelled’ variety. If I too had lied about my age, would I have had my own sitcom by now? Probably. Worse still, I suspect that the role you had in Bridesmaids really ought to have gone to me instead. Granted, you were hilarious, but if that role was obtained in suspicious circumstances, then there’s nothing for it other than to re-shoot the entire movie.

As a twenty seven year old lefthanded puppeteer, perhaps I should have known better. After all, there’s a long history of actors telling absolute porkies about a whole range of matters. Cary Grant was not really Cary Grant. He was, in actual fact, Archibald Alexander Leach. Upon learning this, it totally ruined The Philadelphia Story for me. All this time, I’d thought it was Cary Grant rather than Archie Leach on screen as CK Dexter Haven.

Re-shooting the movie isn’t even an option as all the characters are now deceased. But it’s far from an isolated example.

Mister Ed was not really Mister Ed but a horse named ‘Bamboo Harvest-

er’ which doesn’t really sound like a horse at all but a piece of agricultural equipment. If I dig a little deeper will I discover that Mister Ed wasn’t a horse but an apparatus used on the farm for cropping? As for Flipper, it’s long been an open secret that he wasn’t a dolphin at all but a ten year old with a rare form of alopecia and a major attitude problem who, with the aid for some pretty amazing makeup, convinced the world that instead of a small angry pre-teen he was the ocean’s most beloved mammal.

As a twenty one year old sudoku champion and award winning basket weaver, you might think I should just get over it. And you may well have a point. What does it matter if you’re a little older than I previously thought?

Sure, I feel a touch foolish for sending all those year-specific birthday cards.

But who cares? Others have done far worse. Especially when you consider that Abigail Breslin was actually thirty-seven years old when she played that role in Little Miss Sunshine.

As a twelve year old unicorn with magical fire breath, I can only be honest and say that I feel massively let down. But I’ll still watch your stuff. Some might argue that to do so is a sign of weakness but, trouble is, you’re kind of awesome. This whole age fiasco thing doesn’t detract from how funny you are. Come to think of it, it kind of makes me wonder whether the whole ‘lying about your age’ thing matters a hoot. Perhaps it doesn’t. Sorry to trouble you. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

A Grain of Salt GOOGLE Pliny’s Naturalis Historia, 77 A.D.: “After the defeat of that mighty monarch Mithridates, Gnaeus Pompeius found in his private cabinet a recipe for an antidote in his own handwriting: Take two dried walnuts, two figs, and twenty leaves of rue; pound them all together, with the addition of a grain of salt; if a person takes this mixture fasting, he will be proof against all poisons for that day”. To take a statement with “a grain of salt” means to accept it but to maintain a degree of scepticism about its truth.

So there. *** HOW can a man can beat his wife, go to confession and walk out cleansed? A sure sign of madness?

Solomon 971- 930 BC “Seeist a man wise in his own conceit, more hope is of a fool than of him.”

Some argue females are different.

I disagree, but for now I’ll limit my thoughts to men generally in the light of this violence against women.

Men are right. They are always right. They may well “agree to disagree” but each will be right. With varying degrees they are all also mad, lustful, envious, ambitious and all assume sanity. In their own special way men think and laugh at the stupidity of other men and women.

The English laugh at the French and the Germans and vice versa.

We presently laugh at the Greeks and most other races, via customs, religion, food, clothing and corrupt governments. A man assumes his own desires, however much hidden, as right. They send young men to war to face possible death on our behalf. They lie as politicians supposedly for the greater good, never questioning their self-righteousness.

By Cliff Ellen Mick should have stopped there rather than “proving them wrong, etc at Carlton. I wonder if Caroline Wilson, Mark Maclure and particularly Mark Robinson have blood on their hands? We await the Buckley story without traditional Magpie Heath Shaw, the ilk of Benny Johnson and Alan Didak; a decision perhaps aided by Tony Shaw, now in its 4th year.

Hawthorn supporters may well boo Buddy. Collingwood may well boo Daisy, but never will they boo Heath – therein lies the difference. *** AUSTRALIA’S five-man Junta: Abbott, Hockey, Brandis, Cormann, Morrison?...Spotting potential jihadists in schools – Tony’s brownshirts? ...Any team beating a sky blue team from NSW gets my nod, despite most of Melbourne Victory coming from Carlton wearing navy blue colours. I prefer quoits...

PM Tony accuses Billy boy of raiding “our money”? A superannuation concessional rate at 15 cents in the dollar. You pay 45 you save 30 for retirement; you pay 19 you save 4 for retirement. Enough said....

Some 80 per cent of the community are in favour of choice (euthanasia), even higher for those over 70, so why are we controlled by this minority, again?...

The players want James Hird, but who would be game enough to say otherwise?...

Social Services Minister Scotty Morrison is the man to make us believe in the superior efficiency of the NBN rollout?...

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear...hooroo...cliffie9@ bigpond.com www.ello8.com Western Port News 2 June 2015

scoreboard Day of upsets in Nepean League NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT was certainly a day of upsets in Nepean League football on Saturday.

Crib Point came from 20 points down at half time and 15 points down at three quarter time to beat Sorrento at David McFarlane Reserve.

Dromana bounced back from an ordinary defeat the week before to beat Frankston Bombers, who had won two on the trot.

Up at Red Hill in front of the 1990 premiership side, the home side was smashed by Hastings.

Somerville, after a tumultuous week, went down by two goals against Rosebud in a low scoring, scrappy affair.

The two expected results went accordingly. Pearcedale restricted Tyabb to four goals and won by 63 points and at Devon Meadows, Rye had to work hard but got home by 22 points.

The ladder now sees four teams on 20 points, while Somerville makes up the five with 16 points. Sorrento and Dromana are outside the top bracket on three wins (12 points).

There was plenty of fireworks at Somerville in their match against Rosebud.

Rosebud midfielder Brad McDonald was reported by three umpires for allegedly head butting and striking in the second quarter.

However, despite playing one short for most of the third quarter, Rosebud was still able to kick four goals to three and lead by 24 points at the final change.

As expected, Somerville came back in the final quarter with the wind, booting 1.7 to one behind.

The Buds got the chocolates 9.15 (69) to 7.15 (57).

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell was understandably ecstatic with his team after the win.

“The reality is that we cannot get into a shoot out against teams. It’s not our style and we are not going to win footy games like that,” said Jewell.

“We need to slow the pace down, grind down and make it a bit of a slog.

We were able to do that today against Somerville and the result went our way.

“You (Toe Punt) were spot on with what you wrote in the Footy Record about us being a scrappy side that doesn’t play good looking football.

Hands up if you’d like the ball: Hastings dominated Red Hill to win by 32 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

The reality is that we’re okay with that.”

Greg Bentley was superb for the Buds as a stay at home forward and had ten shots at goal (he finished with three), while Rhys Bancroft was back to his sensational best after returning fom ankle surgery.

Nick Boswell started in deep defence and moved a little higher as the game went on. He was vintage in

Sudoku and crossword solutions

parts. Rob Forrest and Jason Bristow were superb for the duration.

Luke Rowe played his best game of the season for the Eagles with three goals and Scott Simpson and Tim Hirst also worked hard.

Somerville recruits Billy Rolfe and Tommy Simpson both played in the reserves as a result of the Player Points System.

Dromana wasn’t great against

Rosebud two weeks ago but by gee did they have a crack against Frankston Bombers on Saturday.

After a pretty even first half, Dromana lifted the tempo in the third quarter and broke clear with a four goal to two point term. The margin was 26 point at the final break.

Bombers kicked with the wind in the final term but Dromana stood tough, holding on for a comfortable 10.16

(76) to 7.16 (58) victory.

Hastings dominated Red Hill all game to record an easy victory, 13.10 (88) to 8.8 (56).

Joel Standfield and Paul Rogasch were sensational in the back half for the Blues while Col McVeigh and Josh Mulheron in the ruck also dominated proceedings.

Jason Kestle was back in the team for the Blues and finished with two goals. Coach Brendan Dunne missed with a hand injury. It’s not the first one of these he has had.

Jake Mold booted four goals for the Hillmen while Paul Wintle was superb in defence.

Crib Point stormed home to overrun a flat looking Sorrento.

The Magpies trailed all afternoon, however, had much more run in their legs when the whips were cracking in the final term.

The Pies booted seven goals to one in the final 30 minutes of the game to win 15.12 (102) to 13.7 (85).

The win did come at a cost with star Waide Symes going down with a knee injury.

Dean Warry booted four goals for the winners and James Cook and Brad Arnold dominated.

Nick Diconza, Ben McCormack and Ryan Potter were the best of the Sharks.

Nathan Henley booted four goals for Rye and Brady Egan was sensational in the ruck as the Demons led all day to beat Devon Meadows.

The Demons kicked clear in the second quarter and were never headed, winning 12.11 (83) to 9.7 (61).

The game saw Rye coach and former Sorrento premiership player Josh Moore return to senior footy.

Jess Dehey returned to the Panthers after five weeks on the sidelines due to suspension, while teenager Luke Duhig showed he belongs in the seniors with two goals and a solid fourquarter performance.

Pearcedale booted 11 goals to one after quarter time to beat Tyabb 12.21 (93) to 4.6 (30).

Pat Heijden booted four goals and Ben Mitchell dominated in the ruck for the Dales while Kallum Searle played his best game for his new club after crossing from Mornington.

Justin Volk and Jake Anderson were the best of the Yabbies, while James Cottrell was among the best again.

Kick after siren ends in draw PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt WITH two minutes left on the clock on Saturday, Pines was six points in front of Bonbeach and looked like they were going to hold on for the win.

A Pines kick across the body towards the new clubrooms end pushed across the face of goal and gave back possession of the footy to Bonbeach.

The Sharks moved the ball quickly to the far end of Bonbeach Recreation Reserve and again Pines were able to cause a stoppage.

With just seconds left in the game, the ball was thrown up inside attacking 50 for the Sharks. Paul Lewis, in his first game for Pines after being cleared from Rosebud, became third man up in the ruck contest and smashed the ball clear of the stoppage.

Only problem was that the ball fell into the hands of the Sharks and a quick kick found the arms of Justin Bennett.

The siren sounded and Bennett nailed his third goal of the game from close range.

The final score was 14.8 (92) apiece.

The second draw of the 2015 Peninsula League season (the first was EdiAsp and Langwarrin).

While the Sharks kicked with the aid of the breeze in the final quarter, the wind was going more across the ground. Eighteen of the 28 goals kicked in the match were to the far end of Bonbeach.

Pines dominated the third quarter but failed to convert their opportunities. The visitors led by just eight points at three quarter time.

Bonbeach kicked the first four goals of the final term to kick clear. However, Pines then kicked the next four to get their noses in front with minutes left.

Pines’ coach Pat Swayne said it was

Eagles wings clipped: Frankston YCW beat Edithvale–Aspendale by 62 points.

Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Bonbeach’s clearance work that was the difference between the sides.

“Mark Tyrrell and Jackson Casey were superb in the middle of the ground and they scored a few goals from centre clearances. In the end they had seven more clearances than us,” said Swayne.

“That’s our Achilles heel at the moment – we are a couple of midfielders

short. Losing a two time league medal winner and four time best and fairest winner in Jimmy Messina doesn’t help us.

“I thought that in attack we were stronger and defensively we were pretty even. It was in the middle that cost us.

“We’d like to use Luke Potts in various roles but our hand is forced a bit

to leave him in the middle for long periods.

“I’m bitterly disappointed in the draw but I’m not shattered.

“We made some mistakes and we’ll learn from them together. I’ve always said that I believe we will be a better side in the second half of the season.

“I’ve had a very good look at the competition now and I don’t think we are far away. With the improvement I expect in the back end, I’m confident we’ll be there,” said Swayne.

Bennett, Rob Ferraro, Anthony Hogan and Jackson Sole with a couple of goals were in Bonbeach’s best. Guy Hendry with five goals, along with Dale Tedge and Beau Hendry were the Pythons’ best.

Mt Eliza maintained its position on top of the ladder with a solid 32 point victory against Langwarrin.

The game was an arm wrestle in the first half before the home side stepped up its intensity levels in the third quarter.

The result was 4.6 to 1.3 in the third and the Redlegs went into the final break with a 19 point lead.

Langwarrin got to within eight points midway through the last but two goals to Ben Lean and one to Scott Lockwood saw the Redlegs dominate the final 15 minutes of the match and win 12.16 (88) to 7.14 (56).

While there was a lot of focus on Ben Lean and Rohan Heasley in the middle of the ground, it was Ben Landry who did the most damage. He racked up almost 30 touches in a best on ground display.

Lockwood started slowly but was dominant by the end of the game and Justin Van Unen, while beaten across four quarters by Langwarrin’s Rikki Johnson, got off the leash a few times to kick three freakish goals and set another one up.

David Barton and Sam Wettenhall

were damaging across the ground and the defence, led by Sam Gill and Darren Booth, was well supported by Jimmy Clayton and Aaron Dunne.

James Capkin and Matt Lillie also became pivital around the ground late in the game as mobile ruckmen.

Blake Harkness was comfortably Langwarrin’s best plyer, despite not being named in their best, while Johnston and skipper Scott Sienkiewicz, along with Shane Paterson and Michael Parker were also fine contributors.

Seaford won its first game for the season, defeating Karingal by a whopping 117 points, 26.22 (178) to 9.7 (61).

Ben Crowe and Dean Williamson booted five goals each for the Tigers and Pat Cadd finished with four.

The Tigers booted 17 goals to five in the second half.

Travis Puntaroni kicked five goals for the Bulls while Nathanael Furlong and Aaron Lees also had solid games.

Frankston YCW kept EdithvaleAspendale to one goal in the first half in their match and went on to win 17.12 (114) to 8.4 (52).

Anthony Bruhn booted four goals and Ryan Santon was the best player on the ground with three majors.

Matt Clark and Jordan Derbyshire were the best of the Eagles.

Mornington overcame a slow start and a five point deficit at half time to get the win against Chelsea, 14.14 (104) to 12.4 (76).

The Doggies still trailed by five points at three quarter time, however, booted eight goals to three in the final term to get the four points.

Michael Gay and Ryan O’dell were outstanding for the Doggies, as was Ryan Smith, while Todd Gardiner, Niz Abdallah and Jayden Attard were good for the Gulls.

It’s time for a change of leadership OPINION

By Toe Punt THE time has come for Peninsula and Nepean Football Leagues to take control.

The farsical nature of the handling of the Player Points System issue this week by the MPNFL highlighted the fact that the current administration of the league is incapable of governing effectively.

The member clubs’ appointed MPNFL Board is also incapable of providing the necessary direction to their appointed administration.

The time has come for Nepean and Peninsula clubs to cease complaining about the constant poor administration of their league administration and stop accepting mediocrity.

It’s time for the clubs to demand strong leadership and direction and football administration best practice.

Casey-Cardinia Football League, or the new South East Football Netball League (SEFNL) as it is known now, bit the bullet 12 months ago and defected from the auspices of the MPNFL, which was then PCN Alliance.

The nine member clubs in SEFNL cited poor administration and poor representation as the key reasons for their defection.

Six months on and SEFNL are still skipping to the footy each week and celebrating what a successful decision it was to fall under the new manage-

PAGE 46

ment of the AFL South East commission.

Following the MPNFL’s mismanagement of the Player Points System issues through the week, it’s now time for the Nepean and Peninsula League clubs to seriously reconsider their position.

What unfolded last week was embarressing for the MPNFL. In short, two clubs challenged the vilidity of the Player Points allocated to Somerville coach David Hirst. Last year Hirst was listed as a marquee player in some games and this year he is a one point player.

Somerville has done absolutely nothing wrong here. They have been working with the league since December, 2014 to help them manage their PPS. They have documentation and written advice and permissions from the MPNFL outlining what players are worth.

Somerville has no reason to challenge the league’s determination of their own rules.

Other clubs do have the right to do so, however, and two clubs exercised that right two weeks ago.

The league didn’t deal with the situation two weeks ago because they said interleague was “more important”.

However, last week, they went into lock down and hiding. The administration failed to communicate with their member clubs in the appropriate, respectful fashion. This is common, where clubs receive absolutely no ac-

Western Port News 2 June 2015

knowledgement of correspondence.

What followed were countless emails to the league from Nepean League clubs, highlighting areas of the blatant misinterpretation of the PPS rules.

Late Friday afternoon last week, the league sent the following statement to clubs.

Dear Clubs, Further to the communication dated the 26th May 2015 (Somerville FNC Player Points) and official written responses from the two initial clubs in relation to the Leagues decision, the League has acted on MPNFL Player Points System Rule 11.

11. QUALIFYING COMMITTEE An independent review/appeal panel shall be established by the MPNFL. If any player or club is dissatisfied with the points assessed to a player, the club or player may apply for the review/appeal panel to undertake reconsideration of the points assessed.

We have established an independent review panel which consists of Brett Connell AFL Victoria’s Community Football & Engagement Manager, Jeremy Bourke AFL South East Regional General Manager and a third member that will be appointed by Brett & Jeremy under the following guideline.

• The third panel member must be fully independent and have no past history or connection with any Peninsula or Nepean club.

The total number of points appear-

ing on the Somerville FNC team sheet this week will be 38.

This statement raised more questions amongst Nepean League officials than it did answers.

Minus all the commentary, everyone wanted to know one thing - was David Hirst a 1, 2 or 3 point player.

That is the ONLY thing the clubs want to know. They want to know this because it has an impact on their own list and their own player point allocations.

Under the league’s new interpretation of the PPS, there are many players in the competition who should now be worth less points.

The league has misinterpreted the rule.

The league ignored its members in a time they were simply seeking clarification. It could have been resolved quickly.

When the league finally got back to the clubs, they provided a statement that clouded the situation further.

Why should we be having an independent tribunal to make decisions on rules that were written by and have been adjudicated by the league for years?

Don’t the clubs pay the league administration to administer and govern our league?

Where’s their management and leadership to resolve this issue.

Questions were raised over the PPS system, the most important rule in our game, and the governing body refused

to answer them.

Last Thursday, AFL South East Regional General Manager Jeremy Bourke said he had received’ no communication from the league regarding this issue’.

Bourke went onto say “I believe there has been enough confirmation around the application of this rule to at least warrant some sort of correspondence or communication”.

“The league is there to service its clubs. I think it’s a ludicrous situation that I believe the clubs have every right to expect a service level that they pay for”.

“As a commission, we believe it is starting to get to a situation where if this is the outcome for member clubs, do we need to call constitutional reviews?

“The clubs need to be reminded, however, that whilst they are happy to complain, and we support them 100 per cent, they need to do something about it. The response from the clubs can’t be ‘it’s too hard’.

“Clubs need to start turning a bit of that negative speak into action and get on the front foot and do something about it.

MPNFL General Manager Jeff Jones believed the situation was handled and clubs had an opportunity to take any PPS matter to the independent tribunal.

Triple treat for passionate Pies CRIB POINT FC

By Jared Newton MONEY can buy you good footballers, however it can’t buy you passion.

Three Crib Point sides ventured down to Sorrento, three sides trailed all day, three sides pinched the lead with less than ten minutes to go, and three sides managed to hold on and win in what will go down as one of the more memorable home and away matches for the Pies in a long time. The fire and passion which has only been present in patches presented all day and the results fell the Magpies way.

The win could be the catalyst the senior side needs to get the season fired up heading into another bye.

After losing Waide Symes in the first five minutes to a knee injury, Sorrento kicked away to an early six goal lead and looked as though he result could have been another foregone conclusion 20 minutes in.

However the Pies fired back with three quick goals late in the quarter into the wind to stay in touch.

Despite playing good footy and going goal for goal most of the afternoon, neither side were able to get a run on and the lead stayed pretty static in the 15–25 point range.

At the final change the Magpies found themselves 15 points down kicking with a strong breeze and through the dominance of James Cook in the ruck won clearance after clearance,

laid tackle after tackle and swamped the Sharks, pinching the lead 22 minutes into the final term to run out victors by 17 points.

It was a gutsy win, especially being down to two rotations shortly after half time. Dean Warry kicked four and gave plenty of grief to Sorrento’s defence, and Brad Davidson added three. Brad Arnold had his best game for 2015, and James Cook was a clear-cut BOG with a lone hand dominant game from the ruck.

The reserves were shown little respect in their clash and refused to go away and like the senior game swamped Sorrento late to run out winners by 20 points.

Once they got a sniff Sorrento ca-

pitulated under the relentless pressure and folded once Crib finally took the lead.

Neil Clark gave the team a massive target up forward snagging two and goal sneak Matty Blake added three.

Sam Austin and Dan White gave plenty of drive from the middle with plenty of football; Quinn and Condick getting plenty of the pill in the back half.

The under 19s stamped themselves as genuine contenders for the flag with a gutsy come from behind victory over third placed Sorrento.

The boys didn’t have the kicking boots on in the windy conditions mustering 1.10 in the opening three quarters but were never out of the hunt as they scrapped their way to a 10 point

win on the back of a six goal final quarter.

Jayden Deas is playing his best footy again, and Billy Heritage was best on field with two goals from the middle.

The quieter Espenschied had another ripper game for the boys and has been in the best the last four games as they run to 5-1 and firmly entrench themselves as second on the ladder for now.

Not many clubs can boast they travelled to Sorrento, took home three wins in the footy and swept the netballers too. While it doesn’t quite make up for the hurt of last year’s grand final it might just be the confidence boost the Pies need to get the belief back that made them such a good side in 2014.

“Team first” approach inspires Blues victory HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone, club president SENIORS REPORT GOING down to Red Hill was always going to be a test for the Blues.

We started the game slowly and Red Hill got a few goals ahead and looked like they were going to kick away.

We were able to weather the storm and scored were level at quarter time.

Our tackles were down in the first quarter and the focus for the rest of the game was to get our pressure up.

We were able to do this with 19 tackles in the second quarter, 28 tackles in the third quarter and finished the game with 80 tackles which is an incredible count.

There is no doubt that the win was a team effort and testament to the pressured and defended style of football we played.

Moving forward, we have to maintain our team spirit and discipline and realise that winning games of football doesn’t come from flair but hard work, intensity and want for the contest.

It is impossible to name a ‘best on ground’ which sums up the kind of team effort that was put in.

RESERVES REPORT THE reserves game against Red Hill would dictate if the Blues would stay in the top five.

In very windy conditions we kicked against the wind in the first quarter and had to play very tight to shut down Red Hill.

The boys applied the pressure from the start and got a few shots at goal but missed into the stiff breeze.

In the second quarter the boys were in attack straight away missing a couple more goals before we finally got one.

Another quickly followed and A. Vinson was marking everything that came his way and Wade Delahaye was fighting very hard through the centre of the ground with his second and third efforts.

Into the third quarter the boys just had to maintain possession and not allow Red Hill to kick away with the wind which they did fantastically.

We went into three quarter time with scores level.

At the start of the last the boys were all over Red Hill but only managed three points in the first half of the quarter.

Red Hill came out in top in the last ten minutes to win by ten points.

Better players in the day A.Vinson, W. Delahaye, M. Cave, C. Lehmann, B. King.

UNDER 19s by Aaron Wilson A COUPLE of our better players were unavailable for the under 19’s.

With this is mind our boys went out in the first quarter and played a spirited competitive style of footy to only trail by a few points.

From then on the boys struggled to keep themselves in the contest.

They now have the chance to regroup and now need to get to training, as we have a big game against Tyabb at home.

Hopefully they will all stick together and a win might not be too far away.

NETBALL REPORT A GRADE played a much more open match against Red Hill and are now starting to play the style of game we’ve been working on. Thanks to Keely and Bec for helping us out.

B grade started a bit nervously and by the second quarter had patches working well. Bec, Jema and Keely certainly got their mojo going in the second half as we made a few changes that ended up working by the fourth quarter.

It was great of Georgia to come and help out the girls today; it was much appreciated.

I’m calling it early that Tyabb B grade will take out the flag this year.

C grade had their best game for the year. Abbey Baker and Jess Reid combined really well in the goal circle and Ash Masterson had a great game in her new position.

A big thanks to the girls who filled in for us and also to the girls that pushed through and played with injury and illness.

Tyabb next up will be very tough across all grades, let’s stick together and fight out our matches. *** Next Game: 13 June: HASTINGS FNC vs TYABB FNC at Barclay Oval, Hastings start time 10.00 am Let’s get right behind our all–conquering Blue boys. *** Up Coming Function 20th June, 2015 vs Crib Point FNC Past Players 1905, 1975, 1995 Premiership Reunion on the 20th June from 11.30 onwards 2 Course Meal $35.00 a head, should be a great day. Go Blues.

No luck for A-Grade girls: Despite playing an open-style game, the A-Grade girls lost to Red Hill 67 – 12.
