Students sign up for Salvos STUDENTS from Western Port Secondary College will be collecting for this year’s Salvation Army Red Shield appeal. They will be at Safeway, Coles and Kmart in Hastings helping the Salvos reach the appeal target of $79 million. The money will be used to run 600 social programs across the country. The Salvation Army says it will help one in 20 Australians this year. “It’s great to know there are young people willing to give their time for the wider community,” Lorelle Vince of the Salvos’ Westernport Mission Centre said. The centre holds a weekly church service with a free meal as well as providing fresh food for needy people. “There is nothing more rewarding than being a part of a group working to help those less fortunate than ourselves. The fact that we are all students working together makes it that bit more special,” the college’s school captain Casey McDonnell said. Sammi Morgan, a member of the school’s leadership group, said she wanted to set a good example for the younger year levels “and help by giving back to the community and supporting the Red Shield Appeal”. Volunteers can register at www.salvationarmy. org.au or call Lorelle Vince on 5979 2751.

Check on permits By Keith Platt CONTAMINATED soil is being removed from the $6 million “affordable” homes project at the corner of Marine Parade and Church St in Hastings. The discovery of an old underground fuel tank forced a stop to work on the buildings, which were originally slated for completion and occupation in March.
The owner of the project, Community Housing Ltd, is now investigating if it can take legal action for compensation over the delay. “Lawyers are going over it to see where we stand,” Community Housing’s state manager Brett Wake said on Friday. “It might be the subject of legal actions.” Mr Wake said Community Housing
had been given two reports about the property “and we relied on one, which, clearly, was not correct”. “We could never get a copy of the first one, which was more accurate, and we are investigating if we can be compensated.” He said the site “has a funny history” and “a lot of work” was required going back to when it was a service station.
The News has asked Mornington Peninsula Shire about planning and building permits issued for the project but did not receive an answer by deadline. Mr Wake said work was again underway to finish the 20 homes on the site, which is between Marine Parade and King St. “We are negotiating with the De-
partment of Human Services for extra money to complete the project.” Mr Wake said the houses might be finished “by September or even earlier”. Meanwhile, security fences around the excavation on the property’s Marine Parade frontage will continue to block the footpath. Continued Page 6

Shire wants extra 5.9% By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has released its draft budget for the coming financial year, 2013-14. The council is proposing to increase rates by 5.9 per cent and the municipal charge for every rateable property by $20 to $180. Last year’s rate increase was 3.9 per cent with the municipal charge up $10 to $160. The municipal charge is not included in the rate rise. Rates and charges will yield $129.5 million, and the opt-in green waste bin service will bring $2.17 million. The council said the net cost of services for 2013-14 was expected to be almost $103 million, an increase of $7.6 million over last year. Almost $31 million will be spent on capital works with $26.5 million coming from rates and charges, $1 million from loans and $3.4 million from external grants and contributions. The draft budget states maintenance will cost $1.4 million but will provide “$5.6 million per annum of enhancements” including “increased township cleaning programs including additional street sweeping” and “additional cleaning of pits, stormwater culverts and pipes” as well as “additional sports field maintenance and upgrades”. Other items include: Continued implementation of fire
management strategies. Completion of the green wedge management plan. Continued implementation of fire management strategies. More money for coastal management plans. Development of the Rosebud activity centre and Point Nepean Rd landscape master plan, Tootgarook management plan and Tyabb airfield precinct plan. The shire said there would be money for upgrading pavilions, refurbishment of public toilets on Rye and Dromana foreshore as well as at Mothers Beach in Mornington, and new toilets at Hillview Community Reserve, Dromana. Financial support would be provided for programs for young people, day care for infants, $856,000 for Home and Community Care services for older people, community events and festivals, and events and programs at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. Ratepayers and residents can make written submission by 5pm on Tuesday 11 June. They will be considered at a meeting at 4pm on Thursday 27 June at Rosebud municipal offices. The budget will be adopted at a special council meeting at 5pm on Monday 15 July at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. The proposed budget is on the shire’s website, www.mornpen.vic.gov.au
Law talk: Peninsula Community Legal Service lawyer Kati Ross tackles a legal issue at the centre’s Frankston office. Picture: Yanni
Lingering legal problems costly IGNORING a legal issue can be costly and the Peninsula Community Legal Centre is urging those facing problems to seek professional help “sooner rather than later” to ensure the best possible outcome. A 2012 Legal Australia-Wide survey entitled ‘Legal Need in Australia’ found about one-in-five people took no action to address legal problems because of stress, cost or 0not knowing where to begin. The Peninsula Legal Community Centre is an ideal first stop for peninsula residents to discuss any legal problems they have. “Most clients are low-income earn-

ers on less than $26,000 per year but peninsula residents can use the free legal service for initial advice irrespective of income,” centre volunteers and education general manager Andrea Staunton said. Those using the free legal advice service often seek help with family law, issues, wills and powers of attorney. The centre also provides access to tenant and consumer, rooming house outreach and child support programs. The centre is funded with support from federal and state governments and the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Council provided $43,707 in 2011-12.
Free legal advice is available on most areas of law and people who are disadvantaged may be eligible for ongoing assistance. “About one-in-five clients have a mental health or physical disability of some sort,” Ms Staunton said. The centre has offered free legal advice for 35 years and moved to new premises at 441 Nepean Highway in Frankston in August last year. The Hastings visiting service is based at the Western Port Community Support office in the Peninsula Health premises at 185 High Street, Hastings.

Council no to Tyabb Airfield noise law By Mike Hast SHIRE councillors have rejected introducing a noise control law for Tyabb Airfield. At Mornington Peninsula Shire’s council meeting last week, nine of the 11 councillors voted to reject a proposal to adopt Environment Protection Authority noise control guidelines as part of the shire’s Local Laws, which were revised last year. The move has angered and disappointed Tyabb and District Ratepayers, Business and Environmental Group, which is likely to take the matter further. The council instead agreed to take up “the offer from Airservices Australia and Australian Mayoral Aviation Council to work through the issues� and called for yet another report, due in December. A spokesman for Tyabb Ratepayers said the group, with support of many residents, had been trying to get a noise law for about eight years. “Tyabb Airfield operates in a regulatory void where federal bodies such as Civil Aviation Safety Authority and Airservices Australia have no coverage,� he said. “This has been confirmed by successive transport ministers including Mark Vaile and Anthony Albanese. “The responsibility for controlling noise at Tyabb lies with the EPA and the shire council.
“Casey Council has EPA-based noise laws for Tooradin airfield and Yarra Ranges Shire has laws for Lilydale and Coldstream airfields.� He said the EPA “effectively controls aircraft noise from ground maintenance and has done so on a couple of occasions at Tyabb� but it did not cover noise of aircraft in flight. “In May, council officers reported to councillors that they had written to various federal agencies and the EPA and were confident of their recommendation to incorporate the whole EPA guideline including aircraft and helicopters into the Local Law. “Last week, councillors chose to ignore the advice of officers and take up some vague offer from Airservices Australia. Thousands of Tyabb residents have been sacrificed yet again at the altar of a few hundred members of Peninsula Aero Club.� Leading the move to reject the law were Cerberus Ward councillor David Garnock and the mayor, Lynn Bowden, whose ward contains the airfield. Cr Garnock said he wondered why the council was getting involved. If we bring in this law it will just muddy the waters, he said. Both said there were enough organisations to control airfield noise. Cr Graham Pittock, a former member of PAC who once owned an ultralight, said he was against the law. Controlling airfield and aircraft noise
was the job of CASA, Airservices Australia and the EPA, he said. “It’s a ridiculous law; our compliance department is overworked.� Cr Bev Colomb said several councillors were asking questions from a letter prepared by Peninsula Aero Club, which owns Tyabb Airfield and has vigorously lobbied against noise laws. “We’ve been looking at this issue for a long time and the aero club and lots of other people have been involved,� she said. “We have a responsibility to the airport and residents. It’s important residents know where they stand.� The shire’s manager of environment and community safety, Claire Smith, said a noise law would help council officers deal with allegations. Her colleague Mark Upton said the EPA, the Department of Infrastructure and Transport, and Airservices Australia all supported having local council laws for control of airfield noise. The shire had a properly calibrated noise meter that could be used to investigate complaints, he said. Cr Garnock asked if the airfield [operator] might appeal a council decision on fines for noise and win, which might be potentially embarrassing. Ms Smith said if a breach was detected, a notice to comply would be issued. If this was not met, an infringement notice would be issued and the matter could end up in a magistrates’ court.

Rider airlifted after head-on smash Road trauma: Left, police at the scene of the accident in Boes Rd, Tyabb, where a young motorcyclist allegedly crossed into the path of a Ford sedan and hit the car’s windscreen. Below, the rider was taken to The Alfred hospital in a helicopter ambulance that landed at nearby Tyabb Airfield. He is in a serious but stable condition.
A YOUNG motorcyclist remains in a serious but stable condition in the Alfred Hospital after colliding with a car on Boes Rd, Tyabb, on Monday last week. The accident occurred near Valencia Rise, south of the Mornington-Tyabb and Boes roads roundabout, about 3.45pm. The rider, a 21-year-old Langwarrin man, was on an early model Yamaha 250cc with red P-plates when he hit a Ford sedan, almost going through the
car’s windscreen and setting off the vehicle’s airbags. A couple from Bittern was in the car and police said they were in shock after the accident. Police allege the rider veered on to the opposite side of the road while travelling southbound. The rider was flown by helicopter from Tyabb airfield, opposite the accident site, about 5.30pm. Peter Bernardi, president of Peninsula Aero Club, which owns the airfield,
said the air ambulance came in low due to cloud. “We received a complaint from a nearby resident about a low-flying aircraft within 10 minutes of the helicopter landing,” he said. “The person making the complaint didn’t realise there had been a bad accident in the area.” Mr Bernardi said time and height restrictions at Tyabb airfield did not apply to emergency aircraft.

“We are having to remove the soil and will then concrete over that section,” Mr Wake said. He said tests had shown contamination of the soil was “most probably” confined to Marine Parade. The EPA would inspect the site once all contaminated soil had been removed. Mr Wake told The News in March that more disruption to footpath traffic after a second fuel tank was found. Mr Wake said it was hoped the EPA would initially “clear” six of the units at the corner of Church and King streets for occupation. He said the office of housing within the state Human Services Department had helped finance the soil checks. When completed, the “affordable” homes will offer secure long-term rental accommodation to senior citizens, families on low incomes, and people with intellectual and physical disabilities who can live independently with support. Dubbed the “Hastings model”, the project is being built with money from state and federal governments as well as Frankston Peninsula Carers.
Raising money VOLUNTEER groups are being offered free tuition on how to successfully apply for money from government and private sources. Mornington Peninsula Shire, itself a target for those seeking finance, is running a workshop on writing for grant and making fundraising presentations. The workshop is on Wednesday 12 June at the shire’s offices in Queen St, Mornington. Book online at grantsandfundingworkshop.eventbrite.com.au or call Andrea Ebsworth on 5950 1716 or Kate Stuart, 5950 1685.
Removals: Earthmoving equipment is being used to remove contaminated soil from the Community Housing site at the corner of Marine Parade and Church St, Hastings. Lawyers have been called in to check who was responsible for issuing planning and building permits.
At Hastings Family Dental we believe that caring for your children’s teeth from an early age is of the utmost importance. Children’s teeth need to be looked after gently and carefully. Baby teeth or primary teeth help children to speak clearly and chew, they also pave the way for secondary teeth. By following a simple dental routine, you can help give your children healthy teeth and gums. It is very important not to wait until your child experiences a toothache to visit the dentist. By having routine check-ups from an early age, it can help to eliminate the fear of the dental setting and establish a good dental routine they can follow throughout their lives. The first visit is usually a short one. Our aim is to give your child a chance to get to know our fantastic dental team and experience our modern clinic in a friendly and non-threatening manner. During this visit our dental team will do the following: Cavity risk assessment Examine your child’s teeth for decay Examine your child’s gums and soft tissue for disease or problems Evaluate the way your child’s teeth fit together, “the bite”. Identify any potential problems or deleterious habits. Show you and your child how to properly clean his or her teeth at home.

Port money for rail line By Toni Brient and Mike Hast PART of the $110 million promised over four years for the proposed Port of Hastings expansion could be used to upgrade the Stony Point rail line, says peninsula MP Martin Dixon. During an interview about the state budget with community radio station RPP-FM, Mr Dixon said: “There are long-term plans to upgrade Stony Point and obviously there’s an intersection between that and the need to improve the road and rail down to the Port of Hastings. “So those two issues have got to be put down in conjunction. And no doubt some of that $110 million paving the way for the Port of Hastings will include what are the options there for improved rail. “What we’ve got to do is plan ahead so that we’re not doing two separate issues; we’re not looking at future transport options down to the Port of Hastings totally isolated from upgrades that might happen. “So both groups, the whole of government, have got to talk to each other so there’s an understanding of when a rail line will be and whose responsibility it is to upgrade it. “So those basic decisions have got to be made first. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that one is totally dependent on the other but we’ve got to take that first step of coordinating the approach first.” The Port of Hastings expansion project received $20 million in the state budget.
The allocation to the Port of Hastings Development Authority for 201314 was part of a previously announced $110 million over the next four years. After the budget was handed down, the port project was highlighted as a key economic growth project to boost Victoria’s freight capacity. “It’s going to be great for future long-term growth and employment on the Mornington Peninsula,” Mr Dixon said.
In March, the federal MP for Dunkley, Bruce Billson, called for an upgrade to the Stony Point line and the extension of electrified rail to Baxter. In other port-related news, the Port of Hastings Development Authority is again adverting for staff. It is seeking a procurement manager (on a salary of between $109,000 and $142,000), a manager of community engagement and stakeholder relations ($130,000), and a customer and com-
Neptours –Coach Tours
munity relations officer ($50,000$60,000). The port authority started hiring staff in August 2012 after receiving $4 million in the 2012-13 state budget. The authority was created on 1 January 2012 after the state government separated the Port of Hastings Corporation from the Port of Melbourne Corporation, which the Labor government joined together in 2010 shortly before losing office.
Class A goes to ocean outfall THE long-awaited upgrade of Eastern Treatment Plant has been completed. Melbourne Water official have taken VIPs on a tour and “celebration” at the plant in Thompsons Rd, Bangholme. The completion has not been officially announced by the state government or Melbourne Water. The $418 million project means Class A water is being pumped from the plant, which treats about 40 per cent of greater Melbourne’s sewage, along the South Eastern Outfall to Gunnamatta Beach on the Bass Strait side of the Mornington Peninsula. Completion brings ends a long-running battle by environmental groups, led by Clean Ocean Foundation, to force the government to upgrade the plant from Class C to A. Mornington Peninsula-based Clean Ocean was founded in 2000 to lobby for the closure of the Boags Rocks outfall at Gunnamatta, the largest shoreline outfall in Australia by volume. About 150 billion litres of waste water goes into Bass Strait each year from ETP. Using a grant from an international philanthropic organisation, the foundation employed environmental engineers, educators, environmental consultants and solicitors to press its case. They were supported by unpaid professionals and students. Last year the foundation ceased operating on the Mornington Peninsula and shifted its focus to the desalination plant at Kilcunda near Wonthaggi. It has claimed the plant’s outfall harms marine life including migratory whales. Mike Hast

Candidates differ over budget benefits By Keith Platt LAST week’s federal budget reaction highlights differences between candidates for the Flinders electorate in the run-up to the 14 September election. “This year’s budget delivers nothing for the local community, delivering instead more debt, more deficits, more taxes, more broken promises and higher costs for local families,” sitting Liberal Greg Hunt said in a news release. “Residents on the peninsula have benefited enormously from the federal budget handed down on 14 May by the Treasurer,” his Labor Party opponent Joshua Sinclair emailed.

Mr Sinclair provided figures to illustrate his claims: 9450 to receive the schoolkids’ bonus; 30,600 to receive the largest increases to the pension in 100 years; 48,000 residents receiving tax cuts; 4000 residents will pay no tax at all due to the tripling of the tax free threshold; 62,506 workers will have their superannuation increased. Mr Sinclair said the National Disability Insurance (DisabilityCare) scheme had seen “disabled people and their carers breathe a sigh of relief across the peninsula”. “Over 3500 people in Flinders will now receive an annual $600 carers’ supplement boost. Those who care for a child with a disability will now receive an extra $1000 per child annually.” Mr Hunt said the budget “does nothing to help deal with cost of living pressures, economic uncertainty and poor services”. “Labor has again broken its word to the local community. They promised no carbon tax and a surplus. Instead we got a carbon tax and record deficits along with the scrapping of tax cuts linked to the carbon tax, family payments and the baby bonus.” Mr Hunt said the budget predicted unemployment would rise to 5.75 per cent while growth would drop to 2.75 per cent. “Local families and businesses have to live within their means but this government doesn’t,” Mr Hunt said.

Early start for young drinkers A SURVEY has revealed that most young people on the Mornington Peninsula are using alcohol by the time they are 15. The alcohol usually comes from home, although many youngsters say they have bought alcohol from liquor oulets. Deakin University researcher Dr Bosco Rowland said children who were not allowed to have alcohol at home before they turned 18 were less likely to rebel and drink while underage. “Research shows that in families where parents set a rule that children are not to use alcohol, rebellion tends to be limited to the children having a few drinks behind their parents’ backs and there are much lower rates of underage alcohol use,” Dr Rowland said.
“However, in the families where the parents allow moderate alcohol use their children are more likely to rebel with heavy and harmful alcohol use.” Dr Rowland said 62 per cent of young people on the peninsula were using alcohol at 15. “When asked where they obtain their alcohol, they commonly reported getting it from home, but in some cases from retail outlets,” he said. “The earlier a young person starts using alcohol, the more likely they are to experience injuries and harms, impaired brain development and alcohol problems later in their life. “The evidence is very clear – in communities where underage youth find it difficult to obtain alcohol, there is less youth alcohol use and fewer alcoholrelated injuries, assaults and deaths. “Communities with less youth al-
cohol use have higher rates of school completion.” Dr Rowland said adults, including parents and those working in liquor outlets, should not supply or sell alcohol to children under 18. “People working in the alcohol industry should always ask for age identification before selling alcohol to young people, however we have found that this is not always the case on the peninsula.” Dr Rowland said a team from the university team visited alcohol outlets across the peninsula to check sales to customers that looked underage. “The check involved a legal-aged person of underage appearance attempting to buy alcohol, with an independent monitor present,” he said. “The team found a number of staff sold alcohol without checking age
identification even though the people making the purchase had been judged by an independent panel to clearly look under 18 years of age.” Dr Rowland said letters had been sent to alcohol outlet managers warning them about the sales practices of their staff. “The feedback from the managers is clear that staff selling alcohol to underage youth are failing to do their job.” Dr Rowland said an increasing number of parents are successfully preventing youth alcohol misuse by communicating clear rules not to buy or supply alcohol to underage youth. “This may mean, for example, becoming stricter and not turning a blind eye when children wish to sip dad’s beer. “Parents sometimes have the fear that if they don’t allow alcohol use at
home their children may rebel and use alcohol behind their backs.” Awareness of the risks of underage drinking is being raised by Communities That Care Mornington Peninsula, together with partnering schools. “Important messages about delaying drinking reach young people, their parents and the wider school community through facilitated class sessions, takeaway student and parent resource booklets and school newsletter articles,” Communities That Care acting coordinator Sam Cochrane said. “This ensures parents are educated alongside their children in reinforcing the message that delaying adolescent drinking contributes to improved health and wellbeing outcomes for our young people.” Keith Platt
Age no bar to ills of alcohol A TEAM from Peninsula Health has developed Australia’s first program to reduce alcohol harm in older people. The program developed by the Older Wiser Lifestyles Team (OWL) identifies and works with people aged between 60 and 96 who are at risk of alcohol-related harm. “Three months after a brief intervention by the OWL team, individuals, on average, halved the amount of alcohol they had previously consumed,” team leader Simon Ruth said. “Using international research, the OWL team developed an alcohol-related problems survey, which was placed in a range of health care venues, including many GP clinics. “Each individual completing the survey received a report outlining potential risks as well as strategies to reduce them. A team member then followed up with a phone call, encouraging further engagement with the program.”
Mr Ruth said up to 30 per cent of older Australians were at risk of health problems related to alcohol. “The risks for older people are different to those of young drinkers. Older people are more likely to be taking multiple medications, have other health issues, be socially isolated and experience change in physiology – all of which affect the way alcohol is metabolised,” Mr Ruth said. “We want to raise awareness of the risks associated with alcohol use by older people, and work with them to reduce their alcohol consumption and related illnesses.” The OWL team is one of five finalists in the running for a $10,000 development grant in this year’s HESTA Primary Health Care Awards. HESTA a superannuation fund for workers in the health and community services sector.

Board donation: Ollie Smith with one of the Tree to Sea wooden surfboards that will be sent to Papua New Guinea.
Wave riders craft boards for PNG By Keith Platt THEY might be relatively newcomers to the sport but surfers in Papua New Guinea will soon be riding waves on shiny new wooden boards made in Mt Eliza. The handcrafted boards are the demonstration versions made for each do-it-yourself workshop held by Gary Miller and Robert Ivers. The pair run Tree to Sea wooden surfboard workshops, which are proving popular with surfers wanting to make boards from timber instead of fibreglass, foam and resin. A by-product of each workshop is the “demo board” they make to show workshop participants what’s involved in the process. The do-it-yourself surfboard makers at the workshops keep their own creations but Miller and Ivers have joined with Mornington surfer Marty Brown, below, to send surfboards to Papua New Guinea. Brown began collecting boards to send to PNG after visiting and seeing the locals riding boards made from broken dugout canoes that were full of splinters. Their efforts harked back to surfing’s beginnings in Hawaii chronicled by Captain James Cook in the mid-17th century. Etchings from the first of Cook’s two visits (the islanders killed him during the second visit) show Hawaiians riding something not dissimilar to a wooden ironing board. Ironing boards, which lack the ability to be steered effectively and efficiently, are being ridden today but mainly at special events.
Brown has about 70 boards that will be sent to PNG in time for the surfing season, which starts in November. He said PNG had 10 boardriding clubs whose members “go through boards pretty quickly” because they mostly rode on reef breaks. The wooden boards being made by Miller and Ivers are years ahead of those early Hawaiian contrivances, being hollow with a flat bottom, rails, rounded decks, fins and buoyancy. Many of today’s surfers appreciate the evolution of the shape of a surfboard but are also enjoying going back to the basics and making their own wooden board. Under the direction of Miller and Ivers, they use plantation-grown paulownia timber finished with an “environmentally friendly” varnish. Miller and Ivers expect to send up to eight surfboards this year. Miller says the PNG Surfing Association would help distribute the boards to surfers in Vanimo, Kavieng, Wewak, Madang, Port Moresby, Manus and Bouganville. Also along for the ride by donating products for the PNG-bound boards are the Australian Fin Company; Gorilla Glue and Paulownia Surfboard Supplies. For details about the board-making workshops or to donate surfboards to surfers in Papua New Guinea, call Gary Miller 0423 804 975, Rob Ivers 0409 211 751 or Marty Brown 0418 388 415.

Lease plan for the Point By Keith Platt THE historic quarantine station precinct at Point Nepean may be leased to a commercial operator. In a letter to “stakeholders�, Dick Ford, Department of Environment and Primary Industries project director, said the state government had started a process for the long-term lease to a “private investor or operator�. He said the latest master plan for Point Nepean National Park, near Portsea, “will guide investors in the development of proposals�. Expressions of interest for using the 17 hectares around the quarantine station would be “marketed locally, nationally and internationally�. Mr Ford said many of the 50 buildings at the site “hold heritage and cultural significance and should be maintained and preserved�. Applicants submitting expressions of interest would be shortlisted and invited to submit formal proposals. “The government is determined to strike the right balance between preserving the historical, natural and cultural values of Point Nepean National Park and making sure that the buildings within the park are used for a purpose that meets market demand,� Mr Ford stated. “It is envisioned that private sector investment and the outcomes of this project will support a year round, vibrant tourist destination with a range of uses

that preserve and enhance the experience of key historic buildings and the rich history of the quarantine station.� Flinders MP Greg Hunt has said he hopes “education will be at the centre of any use for the quarantine station� and has urged Melbourne and Monash universities to establish “a joint educational facility� at the site. He criticised the previous Labor government for backing a hotel at Point Nepean and “commercial exploitation�. The current state government is also under fire for suggesting the site is suitable for a hotel and for not setting building height limits. “We are seeking to create a worldclass site that could include a range of tourism, hospitality, leisure, recreation, cultural, heritage, education and community uses,� Mr Ford’s 24 April letter stated. “The idea is to seek appropriate private sector investment and infrastructure use at Point Nepean National Park to make sure the Victorian community can continue to enjoy it but also to open it up to appropriate investment that would attract national and international visitors,� DEPI executive director Peter Watkinson said. “The unique history, culture and natural environment are at front of mind as these upgrades progress.� Information about Point Nepean is at www.depi.vic.gov.au/pointnepean

Volunteers praised for point duty VOLUNTEERS are being praised for their work preserving the environment and heritage buildings at Point Nepean National Park. “Our volunteers play a major role in helping us to preserve the environmental and cultural values of our unique public lands and waterways,� Parks Victoria ranger Victor Teoh said. The praise for volunteers comes just weeks after the state government an-
nounced it would be seeking expressions of interest for the lease, development and management of commercial enterprises within the national park. Since 1988 the Friends of Point Nepean National Park has been helping preserve and restore heritage buildings and artefacts in the park as well as removing weeds. “They have been particularly successful in clearing overgrown
vegetation at the old grenade throwing bunker and preparing the site for stabilisation works, with more than 100 hours volunteered,� Mr Teoh said. “They also volunteered their energy and enthusiasm clearing vegetation at the rifle range, cleaning the target pits, constructing a retaining wall to prevent further sand erosion and regularly assist in sorting quarantine station artefacts.�

Council dissent over ‘strategic’ plan By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s strategic plan for the next four years has been released for public comment. Residents and ratepayers wanting to comment have four weeks to make written submissions on the draft. Submitters can then speak at a special meeting at a date yet to be announced. In a report to the council meeting on Monday, senior shire planner Tracey Limpens stated the plan included: ď Ž The strategic objectives of council. ď Ž Strategies for achieving the objectives over the next four years. ď Ž A long-term financial plan that outlined resources needed to achieve the objectives. ď Ž Indicators to monitor if objectives were achieved. Ms Limpens said this was a “challenging timeâ€? for the council to be developing its strategic plan. She stated Melbourne’s growth was accelerating, the climate was changing, the economy was evolving and the peninsula’s population was ageing. “Council needs to address these challenges, and many others, to ensure the peninsula is liveable, affordable and sustainable, while providing services and infrastructure that respond to community expectations at an affordable cost.â€? The plan would ensure the peninsula remained among the most sustainable and liveable regions. It set out a wide range of objectives under eight strategic goals: 1. Liveable Peninsula – to be “near but not part of Melbourneâ€? (and its accelerating growth) and to preserve the
Challenge for shire as Melbourne’s growth accelerates, climate changes, the economy evolves and the peninsula’s population ages highly valued amenity of our natural and built environment. 2. Enhancing public places – to enhance the look, feel and function of towns and villages, open spaces and infrastructure. 3. Improving community facilities – to ensure they reflect the needs and expectations of communities. 4. Climate change – to address flood and fire risk, and reduce the carbon footprint, water usage and waste of council operations and the wider community. 5. Enhancing the coastal experience – to protect and enhance opportunities to enjoy the coast. 6. Healthy, safe and connected communities – to promote a culture of community harmony, wellbeing and a sense of safety and belonging. 7. Supporting a sustainable economy – to foster an innovative business community and promote the agricultural and rural sector. 8. Innovative, responsive, value for money service provision – to optimise value for ratepayers through efficient, effective and innovative service delivery. The council plan had been prepared after “extensive input from local communities through our Plan Peninsula
program�, which had recorded the “aspirations, priorities and concerns� of more than 1500 residents and ratepayers. Councillors Bev Colomb, Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers expressed concern about the plan during debate. Again the spectre of how the shire was going to pay for the proposed multi-million dollar aquatic centre at Rosebud was raised. Cr Colomb said the plan should contain a “ballpark figure� for the cost of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA). She said there were two lots of $6 million for SPA proposed to be borrowed but “where are the rest of the funds coming from?� Councillors had been told it would cost varying amounts – $32 million, $34 million – and the plan should clearly identify the cost of big ticket items, she said. Cr Colomb said she had worked on strategic plans for organisations much smaller than the shire and “they had more detail than this�. Shire CEO Michael Kennedy alluded to the coming federal election and next year’s state election, implying there could be government money for SPA.

Hugh Fraser said SPA had been increased to 10 swimming lanes and a larger footprint “but we still don’t know the costâ€? or if it would be built on the foreshore or at Wannaeue Place. (Last September the shire bought Rosebud Central shopping centre in Wannaeue Place and two adjacent properties in Ninth Ave for $5.87 million as a possible alternate site for SPA.) Cr Fraser said a report comparing the two SPA sites had not yet been presented to councillors. Tim Rodgers said there had been no specific community consultation on the strategic plan. He said the plan contained environmental, social and economic elements but there should be a fourth prong – cultural. There also was no climate change policy “and we need a wholistic approach to climate changeâ€?. Councillors Anne Shaw, Antonella Celi, David Garnock and Frank Martin said there had been a huge amount of input from the community for the strategic plan via the Plan Peninsula meetings last year. Eight of the 11 councillors agreed to put the plan on exhibition with Crs Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser dissenting. ď Ž To download a copy of the plan or make an online submission visit: www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/Draft_Strategic_Plan Written submission can be sent to: Chief Executive Officer, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939.

Craft stall: Members of the former Handmade by Multicultural Women group return to Mornington next week with a new film and more of their creations for sale.
‘Sisters’ return for free screening THE Handmade by Multicultural Women group that came to Mornington in March to show a film and sell goods handcrafted by its members has a new name, SisterWorks. A logo designed by renowned graphic designer Alex Stitt (‘Life. Be in it’, ‘Slip! Slop! Slap!) is based on a multicoloured Southern Cross, symbolising the many nations and cultures of SisterWorks’ members. “The logo tells our story clearly and simply, and gives us a professional image,” SisterWorks executive officer Lus Restrepo said.
“The association will seek as many new members as possible both from volunteers and SisterWorks workers.” Members of the group will return to Mornington on Tuesday 21 May for a screening of the Colourfest Multicultural Short Film Collection. They will also be selling craftwork and baked foods. The free screening is from 6.30-8.30pm in the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices, Queen St, Mornington.

Steep rises in water costs from July By Neil Walker HOUSEHOLD water bills are set to soar by almost 25 per cent from July onwards. The rise would see the average residential bill from retailer South East Water increase by about $200 annually. The Essential Services Commission released a draft decision on proposed water price rises last month. The regulator rejected South East Water’s proposal to increase charges by 34.9 per cent annually, opting to recommend a 24.8 per cent rise instead. When releasing the draft report, ESC chairperson Ron Ben-David noted “the recovery of Melbourne Water’s costs associated with the Victorian desalination plant” are “the single largest driver of the price increases proposed by the water businesses”. The decision to build a multi-billion dollar desalination plant at Wonthaggi to provide water to Melbourne and regional areas without the need to rely on rainfall was made by the previous State Government in 2007 during Victoria’s then tenyear drought. The drought ended in 2011 and the project was completed in 2012 amid controversy about cost overruns. No water has yet been ordered by Melbourne Water from the desalination plant. The ESC draft decision means the average
annual South East Water bill for residential owner-occupier customers will jump from $858 to $1071. Elsewhere, City West Water, Yarra Valley Water and Western Water floated price rises of 31.7 per cent, 35.8 per cent and 35.6 per cent respectively. The ESC refused to sanction any price rises above 25.8 per cent. The ESC draft decision said: “Yarra Valley Water and South East Water would also have the greatest dollar increase in those customers’ bills over the period, with an increase of $234 per customer and $213 per customer respectively.” Victorian Council of Social Service acting CEO Carolyn Atkins expressed concern about the water price hikes. “A price increase of between 20 and 25 per cent by the major metropolitan retailers will be felt most keenly by those people who are least able to afford it,” Ms Atkins said. South East Water will promote the option to pay bills on a fortnightly or monthly basis instead of on a quarterly basis, to spread payments. The ESC held a public consultation session on the draft decision in Frankston on 1 May. ESC spokesperson Amanda Clark advised The News that “only half a dozen people” attended. The ESC is due to make a final decision on water prices in June.
Hearing test on freeway
School burglary charge
MOTORISTS could be forgiven for checking their instrument panel because of a noise change when travelling along the Mornington Peninsula Freeway between Latrobe Pde and Lonsdale St, McCrae. The change is caused by the low-noise road surface being trialled by VicRoads. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the $1.1 million surface and was the first stage of the trial. “Most road traffic noise is generated by the interaction of vehicle tyres with the road surface,” he said. “The [freeway] work included different types of road surface treatments applied to over a kilometre length of the freeway.” The different road surface treatments will be monitored to assess their effectiveness to reduce traffic noise.
A WOMAN aged 23 has been charged in relation to a burglary at Hastings Primary School last month. Detective Senior Constable Rob Vine of Hastings crime investigation unit said police would allege the woman and an accomplice had smashed a window and entered the school about 12.45am on Monday 22 April. Nothing was stolen but police will allege damage was caused when furniture was thrown around. The woman was charged with burglary and bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court in August. Detective Vine said police were still working to charge others involved in the incident. Jo Winterbottom

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Bay views under the autumn sun WITH with a breathtaking panoramic view to Western Port Bay and Sandstone Island, this beautiful home, constructed of Mount Gambier limestone, occupies one of the best positions in the sought after Kinfauns Estate of Bittern. The home wraps around a large rectangular courtyard that is exquisitely paved and features a covered walkway on all sides for delightful alfresco dining and entertaining. A second undercover, outdoor entertaining area is positioned in the north-east corner of the home and from here or in the comfort of the main living zone inside, the tremendous views can be enjoyed to the full. Consisting of a full-length dining area, where floor-to-ceiling windows serve as the biggest and best wide-screen bringing a constantly changing panorama right to you, there is also a comfortable lounge room and a neat kitchen with plenty of cupboard space, a wall oven and a dishwasher. There is access from the living area and the kitchen to the rear courtyard. Branching off from the living room down a wide and spacious hallway is the bedroom wing that features two bedrooms, both with built-in robes and a separate study. There is a large family bathroom and a separate laundry. Discreetly positioned at the other end of the home is the main bedroom suite that consists of walk-in robe and ensuite. Also located at this end of the home is a double garage that has internal access. Set amid 5018-square metres of lush lawn and landscaped gardens, the home has a distinct atmosphere of escapism. You can sit in the privacy and comfort of either courtyard and not see another property and when the warm autumn afternoon sun strikes the flagged pavestones you could be forgiven for thinking you have been transported to your own private villa. Address: 4 Sandstone Isalnd Circle, BITTERN Auction: This Saturday, 25 May at 1.30pm Agency: Satchwells Real Estate, 1/97 High Street, Hastings, 5979 1888 Agent: Lisa Roberts, 0488 910 368

King of the hill SET on a block measuring roughly 4046-sqaure metres, ideal for those wanting to spread their arms wide and breath in the fresh country air, this solid three-bedroom brick veneer home also offers a great outlook over pastureland right to the waters of Western Port Bay. The house is set back from the road at the end of a sweeping gravel driveway and there are several handy outbuildings for storage. There is a single garage and the large block has fenced areas for pets and maybe even a sheep or two to roam around. The living areas all run along one side of the home, to better appreciate the views on offer, and have a wonderful sunny aspect. There is a neat kitchen and adjoining dining area, with a separate lounge room featuring a gas heater. All three bedrooms have built-in robes and the main bedroom has an ensuite. This is a good buy for families with Tyabb Primary School and Flinders Christian College located just down the hill.

Do homework before buying a caravan By Ron Gunn of Utow Caravans WHAT type of caravan is best for you? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know and neither does anyone else but our advice is make a list. Yes, I know everyone says make a list but it is imperative that this list contains all the features that you require as must-haves and then the nice-to-haves, before you go shopping. Firstly you must decide: is this the car I am going to keep. If yes, does the following apply to the vehicle? Front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, 4 x 4 or all-wheel drive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it does make a difference especially when it comes to weight-levelling bars. What type of suspension is fitted to the vehicle and is it possible to upgrade it if necessary? Can a towbar be fitted to the vehicle or does it have one? If so, what is the maximum capacity for the towbar or the vehicle (with the actual weight it can tow and also how much down pressure is allowable on the towball). The lower figure is the one that you have to live with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or buy a heavier duty towbar if available. What is the maximum payload of the vehicle? The caravan: what is it I need, then want. What weight do I want to tow or, in fact, am I allowed to tow with the chosen vehicle, what height will fit under my carport? How long do I need it to be, single-axle or dual-axle? A single-axle is easier to manoeuvre but a dual-axle can be longer but not necessarily heavier and most people say travels better. Once this is decided then we look at exterior fittings: awning or annex (will I ever use the walls or will a privacy screen be enough?). Front boot or side boots?
One or two gas bottles and what size, water or fuel containers on the front or back or not at all? Solar panels, battery back up. Will I be free camping? Interior: Interior furnishings, seating, material, colours. Single beds or double/queen size bed, island or otherwise. Cupboard space, bench space. Hot water heater (electric or gas/electric). Ensuite or not, washing machine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these mean an extra water tank and a black and grey water tank. Water is 1kg per litre. Is it made to comply with the rigours of the Australian road system? Most are, some are not. Remember you get what you pay for and if you are going to purchase a custom-made caravan make sure your weights are within the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity. You can keep adding bits and pieces but every item adds weight. Hopefully this has given you a bit of a headstart, so now go and look at the yards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too expensive to make a mistake. Call Utow on 0400 777 698 or 5978 0083 or visit 25 Simcock St, Somerville.

Box ing
Childre ns Clas ses
Boxing coach shows his skills PRO boxing coach Dave Hedgecock was at SMAC (Somerville Martial Arts Centre) on Wednesday night. Supported by local pro boxer Sugar Kan Watts and martial arts supremo Bob Jones, coach Hedgecock worked the team on footwork, power generation and angling around an opponent. The group looked at skills for boxing, Muay Thai, MMA and self defence. SMAC understands that not everyone wants to box or kickbox for competition so in June it will be starting two new sessions BoxFit and KickFit. The sessions will be based on boxing skills and kickboxing skills but with a greater emphasis on keeping the heart rate high and lower
emphasis on competition skills. These sessions will run for 45 minutes and will be held mornings and afternoons. Bookings are essential. The centre also has non-competitive martial arts with Zen Do Kai, Aikido and Systema. For the children there is Kidz Karate and Kidz Kickboxing On 15 June, eight of the SMAC fight team will be competing at the Brothers in Arms 3 Fight night, to be held at the Frankston Basketball Stadium at 7.30pm. They will be competing in Muay Thai, K1, Kickboxing and MMA bouts. With two WKA titles up for grabs this will be a great show.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Mystery wreck discovered in Westerport Bay, May Fair a raging success Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 24 May 1913. AN interesting discovery of a wreck, concerning which there is no official record, has been made at Westernport. In a report furnished by Mr Maclean, engineer of ports and harbours, Mr Geo Beckett, diver, engaged by the Defence department to assist in the attempt to raise the sunken grab punt Dandenong, states that while the “sweep” was being dragged along the bottom of the channel off McHaffie’s reef it fouled an obstruction and remained fast. He was lowered beneath the waters and found the apparatus had become entangled in the hull of an old wreck. Investigation showed the vessel evidently had foundered many years ago, for it was thickly covered with marine growth. It appeared to be about 40 feet wide at the beam, and very strongly built. The sunken ship was constructed of English oak, the timbers visible being approximately 12 inches by 8 inches thick. The diver also stated that some years ago residents of Phillip Island discovered human skeletons embedded in sand on the beaches These probably had been washed ashore from the wreck. Mr Maclean stated on Tuesday he had had search made of the records of the department but had failed to trace any reference to a wreck at Westernport. Certainly none had occurred during his long connection with the control of the ports and harbours. *** IT is gratifying to learn that the “May Fair” that was held here on Friday and Saturday last, in aid of the Church of England building fund, was an
unequivocal success and, in fact, exceeded the expectations of the promoters. The fete was carried out under the auspices of the Church of England Ladies’ Guild, who have been most untiring in their efforts during the past 18 months in endeavouring to bring together, by various ingenious methods, a sum of money required to commence the building of a new church. A word of special praise is due to Mrs Mair (the secretary) and Miss Boufe (her assistant), on whose shoulders the bulk of the work rests, and who carried out the various duties deputed to them in a most creditable manner. Space will not allow me to mention every name to whom praise is due, but I would like to state that it is very seldom that a body of ladies can pull together so well as this one has done and the fact is assured when the result of their efforts is disclosed, by showing a credit balance of over £100. The fair was opened on Friday evening by the Rev C. Eva. There were arranged in the hall eight stalls, all of which were gaily decorated with red and blue sateen, and designed to represent the maypole. The stall-holders (18 in number) and raffle girls were attired in an up-to date maypole costume and presented a charming effect on the rest of the decorations. On Saturday evening there was a better attendance and the evening was made much more enjoyable by the music supplied by the Hastings brass band, who played various selections on the stage at intervals during the whole evening. Special thanks are due to these gentlemen, who gave their services gratis. A vote of thanks, tendered them by Mr Mair, and loudly applauded by all present, was respond-
ed to by Mr E. Wald, who spoke on behalf of the band, saying that they were pleased to be able to assist Tyabb and thanked the ladies for the kind treatment they had received. The gross takings amounted to £34 12s 5d, of which about 75 per cent will be profit and will thus add a substantial sum to the amount already in hand and it should not now be long before we see the laying of the foundation stone of the new church. *** A VERY fine programme of songs readings, dusts and choruses was given in the Methodist Church on Wednesday evening, the proceeds going to augment the funds needed to replenish the Frankston parsonage. Mr G. Reed took the chair and ably filled the position. After a hymn was sung, Mr Reed explained the object of the social. The concert was worth the money without the supper. Miss Annie Barber ably officiated at the organ, and played with usual good taste. The decorations were artistically and effectively arranged by Mrs Overton and Misses L. and A. Barber. Mr J. Twyford proposed a vote of thanks to all who so ably rendered the items or assisted to make the evening so enjoyable. Refreshments were handed round at the conclusion of the programme. The following items were rendered:Song, “All through the night,” Mr H. Barber; duets, “Moon- light,” “Nature’s Evening Song,” “Light of Life,” “The foeman brave,’, Misses N. Reed and D. Overton. sorg, “The Crown of Life,” Miss L’Barber; solq, “The Deathless Army,’; and “Calvary,” Mr Fillamore; reading, “Mrs Murphy on Health,” Mr G Reed, song, “My Treasurer,” Mrs. Keast; Solo, “When
the Ebb tide flows,” Mr E. Croft, song, “Guardian Angel,” Mrs Reed; song, ‘Song of Sleep,” Miss A. Barber; solo, “Tell her I love her so,” Miss N. Reed. *** MR J. Nott Marsh, of Frankston, leaves on Monday on a 10-week business trip to Tasmania. *** AT Langwarrin on Wednesday evening a large and influential committee was formed to secure the return of W. H. Irvine at the coming elections. *** A BALL in aid of the Frankston Fire Brigade will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall this (Saturday) evening. Secretary Miss D. Gregory has everything in first class order, and a pleasant time is assured. The first dance will commence at 8 sharp. *** MR Alex. Thomas, of Balnarring, met with a nasty accident last Tuesday. While helping to kill a pig, the animal kicked a butcher’s knife through his hand. *** LADIES desirous of joining the dressmaking class organised by Mrs G. Ward, of Mornington, are requested to hand in their names on or before the 26th inst. For full particulars see our advertising columns. *** MR Stacey, formerly owner of “Priton” Crib Point, now occupied by the Naval Base authorities, returned to Bittern from England by the R.M.S. Orsorva last week. Mr Stacey is the owner of a number of properties in the Bittern district. *** FARMERS and graziers on the peninsula are experiencing this year one
of the best seasons that have ever been known; grass is plentiful everywhere, except in rabbit infested districts, stock are in good condition, and crops are growing rapidly. *** THE following Crown Lands are available for selection in this district:Parish of Frankston - 10 allotments between Kananook Creek and the Beach, Opened under special residence and garden licence The conditions are set out in the plans which have been issued. Open to 4 June. *** AT the recent examination held at the University, Melbourne, on 1 May, the following young ladies (pupils of the Sisters of Mercy College of Our Lady of the Sea, Shelbourne Park, Mornington) passed in Theory of Music:-Miss Elma M. Stark, Grade 3; Miss Gladys M. Johnston, Grade 4; Miss Irene M. Joyce, Grade 4. *** THE registered race meeting of the Emu Plains and Bittern Racing Club resulted in a profit of £44 l1s 2d. The receipts totalled £165 11s 4d, which included:- Gate money £37 10s 6d, entry fees £32 5s, Bookmakers’ Fees £23 2s, race cards £5, Booth £6, collected towards registered meeting £30 13s 6d; expenses amounted to £121. The club intends to run the meetings next summer, one in December, and one in February 1914. *** A FARMER named John L. Moraes, residing near Rosebud, was thrown out of his cart on Saturday last and sustained serious injury to his back and spine. Under the care of Dr Weid he is progressing as well as can be expected.

Born to be wilder – a drive-by insult incident By Stuart McCullough I WAS dumbstruck. We were returning from a game of golf – a circumstance in and of itself as improbable as what was about to follow – when the unthinkable was thought and, even worse, said aloud. My friends, our clubs and I were crammed into my 1982 puke-green Daihatsu Charade and travelling along Coolart Road at a pace that rendered the speed limit largely aspirational. This was clearly too much for the car travelling immediately behind us. With my shoulders hunched over the wheel, their faces seemed to be pressed up against the rear view mirror. As I slowed to turn into the driveway, the impatient car pulled up alongside, a passenger wound down the window and yelled, “Out of the way, Gene Wilder!” It was the ultimate drive-by taunt. No sooner was the insult hurled in my direction than they were gone, presumably in search of other drivers to attack by reference to reclusive comedic screen actors. I could only pity the next person who might find himself on the wrong end of a Buster Keaton or Stan Laurel-based sledge. But as the car hurtled past, I struggle to come to terms with having just been the victim of a drive-by insult. My humiliation was not helped by the fact that my friends thought it hilarious. Rather than rushing to my defence or even offering to pursue
the other car on foot to wreak some kind of bloody revenge, they instead applauded the heckler for saying out loud what they had obviously been thinking for some time. I was dumbstruck. It was as though the veil had suddenly been lifted. Clearly there was no going back. Once that Pandora’s worm was loosed upon the world, it could never be coaxed back into its box. The brutal truth was as simple as it was shocking: in my late teenage years, I was a Gene Wilder look alike. It would not be the last time I would be compared to someone famous but without exception these comparisons have been of an unflattering nature.
Not once has my name been used in a sentence including George Clooney, Brad Pitt or anyone else that might be considered conventionally handsome. Instead, I get compared to Nicholas Cage, the odd looking guy that befriends Chunk in Goonies and, somewhat unfairly, Slingblade. There have, of course, been consequences. A friend once swore blind that I was the spitting image of Anthony Michael Hall in the film Weird Science and, to this day, I have been too afraid to watch the movie. Let me be clear: I think Gene Wilder is fantastic. I guess you could argue that some of his films are better than
others but there’s so much to enjoy that any criticism seems petty. No one could play Leo Bloom in The Producers as well as Wilder, a fact borne out by the remake in 2005. His performance in Blazing Saddles may well be genius. While the rest of the cast is busy mugging for the camera with vaudevillian extravagance, Gene steals the movie by being perfectly understated. And then, of course, there’s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. With a perfect blend of charm and menace, Wilder makes an unlovable character seem, if not lovable then at least not loathsome. Indeed, he makes you forget that, apparently on a whim, he shut down an entire factory and made everyone redundant before importing a colony of Oompa Loompas – presumably on 457 visas – offering only board and lodging in lieu of a wage. He has cavalier approach to safety and a commitment to food hygiene that might best be described a flat-out shonky. But despite these flaws, Gene imbues the inhuman with humanity. The film was so successful that it single-handedly skewed any conception I had of what it was like to work in the manufacturing industry. I’ve only been to one chocolate factory. I was 12 or so at the time. In my mind, I imagined those responsible for making such wonderful things would be the happiest people on earth. The
lady giving the tour emphasised that the workers were all entitled to eat as much chocolate coming off the conveyor belt as they wished. As we stepped onto the factory floor, those at the machines and conveyor belts weren’t high-fiving each other or singing. In fact, not a single soul was smiling, probably worried that their jobs might be outsourced to Oompa Loompas. I walked and watched as creamy chocolates travelled along the belt under the watchful eyes of the employees. As I passed, one of them looked up. She was a lady of ample proportions with a brown ring around her mouth and who had clearly taken the eat what you like policy of the company as a personal challenge. She raised a stubby finger in my direction and in a voice that could guide ships through fog declared, “Don’t look now but there’s a miniature Gene Wilder over by the soft centres”. Startled, I turned around hoping to see someone standing nearby before realising she was referring to me. Every eye in the factory suddenly swung in my direction and I wished that I was as invisible as a great glass elevator. There are, I suppose, worse people to be compared to. It’s just that I can’t see the resemblance. I guess some things can’t be avoided. It must be in my Genes. www.stuartmccullough.com

Western Port News 21 May 2013
Rotary - rapid response for disasters Across the world Rotary maintains warehouses where emergency kits are put together in portable containers, ready for immeditate distribution in the event of a natural disaster. Rotary clubs regularly contribute funds to keep a ready supply of kits, which are made available free of charge to affected areas.
Rapid response provides relief â&#x20AC;&#x153;WITHOUT regard for race, colour or creedâ&#x20AC;? is the motto of Rotary Disaster Aid Relief and it is a key part of the success of this vital and rewarding program. Rotary is famous for its nonpartisan stance and when disaster does unfortunately strike, it is 5RWDU\ WKDW LV DOZD\V DPRQJ WKH ÂżUVW VHUYLFH organisations that are granted access to provide relief and assistance, potentially saving thousands of OLYHV LQ WKH ÂżUVW UHVSRQVH The concept of rapid response disaster relief FDPH LQ NLW IRUP ZLWK WKH (PHUJHQF\ %R[ ÂżUVW launched in the United Kingdom in 1972. The kit contained clothes and basic medical supplies. In 2001, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Shelter Boxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was a more compact kit that could contain an all-weather family tent, basic FRRNLQJ XWHQVLOV DQG ZDWHU SXULÂżFDWLRQ WDEOHWV ,W ZDV a tremendous success, and in 2003 the Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills became the distributor for Shelter Box Australia.
In 2010 the partnership with Shelter Box UK was dissolved and a new program, still under the auspices of the Endeavour Hills club was created. Disaster Aid Australia (DAA) now distributes the Family Survival Pack, (see right) and since its relatively recent inception has delivered about 1700 to Sudan, Haiti, Columbia, Pakistan and in more recent times to our neighbours in New Zealand as they dealt with the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes. Whatever name or form the relief kits have taken, it is estimated that over the last twenty years that 140,000 such boxes have been delivered to people in need and have also assisted more than 50,000 families per year . The cost of a Family Survival Pack from DAA is $800 and the destination of each kit can be tracked through the Disaster Aid Australia website.
FULLY STOCKED - A Family Survival Pack contains a family-sized tent with two URRPV DQG Ă&#x20AC;RRU EODQNHWV ZDWHUSURRIV mosquito nets, cooking and eating utensils, water containers, rope, tools, childs backpack, pencils and books.
Rapid response to disasters is critical. In December 2012 a typhoon hit the Phillipines leaving an estimated 30,000 people homeless. The Philippines Army (see underneath) accepted the task of deploying the relief kits to the affected areas, providing comfort and supplies to many thousands. In most instances commercial air freight lines will ferry the kits from the warehouses to the country in need, often free of charge but unequivocally without delay or â&#x20AC;&#x153;red tapeâ&#x20AC;?

Tigers and Sharks dominate, Hillmen suffer a case of The Blues, Bombers remain undefeated NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly ON Saturday Dromana and Sorrento once again proved they are the standout performers of the competition. Up against finalists from last year, Rye and Rosebud, the Tigers and Sharks crushed their opponents and stamped their authority on the competition. In fact, Dromana ended Rye’s season on Saturday. The Demons are now ninth on the Nepean League ladder, two games outside of the top five, three games off fourth place and five games outside the top three. Rosebud too has lost touch with the top three and now finds itself in sixth position, a game outside of the top five. However, while all the talk is about the Tigers and the Sharks, Frankston Bombers remain undefeated in second place, a game clear of Dromana and two games clear of fourth placed Pearcedale. The Bombers still haven’t played Dromana or Sorrento and the jury is still out until we see the outcome of Nepean League footy’s biggest challenges. The Bombers play Dromana, Sorrento and Pearcedale in successive weeks after the Queen’s Birthday weekend. Pearcedale is very well positioned. The Panthers have already played the competition’s two powerhouses and it will no doubt be looking forward to the challenge of playing Frankston Bombers, its next big test. On Saturday the Panthers played against Tyabb, leading by six goals at half time and going on to win 22.16– 148 to 16.11–107. While the Panthers would have been happy with the win, allowing the opposition to kick 100 points was a concern Pat Heijden kicked 10 goals for the winners while Matt Vagg and Dean Janssen were again at their best. Yabbies coach Brad Coller kicked five for his side after coming back from a hamstring injury, while John Alexander and Tim McGrath also worked hard over four quarters. Like it has done often this season, Dromana blew the opposition away with one explosive quarter of football. On Saturday against Rye, it was the second quarter. The game was tight at quarter time, however the Tigers booted six goals to two in the second to end the contest. The final margin was 62 points, 19.10–124 to 9.8–62. Anthony Bruhn continued his consistent season with four goals while a further 10 players contributed on the scoreboard. Adam Hunter and Daniel Waddell were dominant. Ben Holmes kicked four for the Demons and, along with Matty Sibberas and Rhett Sutton, was among his side’s best players. Crib Point won its fourth game on the trot against Devon Meadows and grabbed a position inside the top five. The Magpies overcame a slow start, where they were 20 points down at the first change, to grind out a win against an improving opposition. Matty Sloper proved to be the difference between the sides with five

goals playing across half forward, while Brad Davidson was also at his best. In a see-sawing game, the Pies hit back in the second to lead by three points at the major interval, before the Panthers kicked two goals clear at three quarter time. However, with James Cook getting on top in his second game back from a knee injury and Waide Symes continuing his outstanding run of form, the Pies were able to kick five goals to two in the last to win 14.16– 100 to 13.11–89. Heath Black and Ryan Talbot (three goals) worked hard up forward for Devon while Pat Boland was very good again down back. Frankston Bombers once again didn’t do anything spectacular but still managed to grind out a win against Somerville. The Bombers led all afternoon but there was never much between the sides. Three goals was the biggest margin of the afternoon. The Bombers led at every change and ran-out 10 point winners, 16.14– 110 to 15.10–100. Zac Longham booted four goals for the Bombers and was his side’s best, while Jay Page and Scott Foster continued their impressive seasons. Rowan Hogenbirk booted three for the Eagles and was one of his side’s best, while Justin Farrelly was once again the best big man on the ground. The Bombers are just scraping though at the moment and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them drop three games on the trot after the long weekend. Sorrento made a mess of Rosebud on Saturday. The Sharks had 45 scoring shots to Rosebud’s 19 and blew them away with a 106-point victory. Leigh Poholke booted six goals,
Brent Kenyon made a welcome return with five and a further nine players contributed majors. Cayden Beetham, James Hallahan and Leigh Treeby dominated through the middle of the ground while Mitch Nibbs and Trevor Mattison did as they pleased. It was hard going for the Buds.
Matty Payne was his side’s best again with three goals and Jackson McRae looked at home playing senior footy. Hastings played some of its best footy for the season to smash Red Hill by almost 100 points. The Blues kicked nine goals in the opening half before unleashing in the second hour with 12 goals to four.
Dylan Hand kicked six and Mick Agnello booted three in a role he has warmed to in the past couple of weeks. Daniel Wishart put in his second good game in as many weeks and Luke Hewitt and David Hull played at their best. Riley Shaw and Ben Macguiness were the best of the Hillmen.

Doggies struggling, Redlegs revenge Grand Final loss PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly MORNINGTON dropped to seventh place on the Peninsula League ladder on Saturday after losing its third consecutive game, against Karingal. Despite being just one game outside the top bracket, the Doggies are playing ordinary football at the moment and currently don’t look worthy of a top five position. On Saturday against the Bulls, the Doggies were shown up by a more desperate side. And don’t be fooled by the scoreboard, which read 12.16–88 to 7.22–64. Of the Dogs 22 points, only a couple were shots that should have been converted. The rest were a result of relentless pressure by the opposition. The Dogs weren’t interested in the hard ball, cracked under the constant pressure of the opposition and were out–classed. The Doggies appeared to play like a side that had got ahead of themselves. Playing cute footy might pay off against ordinary opposition but not against a hungry side like Karingal. They certainly missed Warwick Miller, who was unwell in what was to be his last game before heading overseas. However, they do get back Chris Paxino and Daniel Villani in the next couple of weeks.
These two players will be a great bonus, given the fact that Jackson Calder plays a lone hand in attack for the Dogs. If he doesn’t clunk the ball in the air, there’s not another player who looks like doing so. The Doggies’ small forwards just don’t work hard enough for long enough. On the other hand, Karingal’s small forwards don’t stop working. Michael Burke (four goals) and Justin Peckett worked tirelessly in attack, while the midfield, led by an inspired David Hirst, was at its best. Grant Goodall comfortably won the battle in the ruck and the likes of Steve Charalambous, Dale Alainis, Cal Dixon and Harley Ambrose were in and under. It was the defence of the Bulls, however, that was the major influence on the result. Luke Van Raay was the best player on the ground, given his drive and composure from half back. Kane McKenzie really grew as a player, took two sensational pack marks and was dominant over four quarters. Timmy Hirst and Aaron Paxton were also composed and dominant. Dan Noble was also good across half back, before going down in the last quarter with what appeared to be a nasty ankle injury.
The Bulls are now nestled in third place. At their best, the Bulls are still a very good side. Bonbeach gave Seaford a six goal head start on Saturday and despite roaring home in the last quarter, couldn’t make up the ground, losing 14.11–95 to 12.17–89. The Sharks have been guilty of bad quarters on many occasions this season and it happened again in the second quarter on Saturday. With the game evenly poised at quarter time, the Tigers booted six goals to one in the second term to blow Bonbeach away. Aaron Turner continued his outstanding form through the middle of the ground, while the likes of Josh Stokes and Jeremy Walker were getting their hands on the footy. In attack Tommy Shaw (five goals) and Brayden Irving (three goals) were providing strong targets. At three quarter time the margin was 34 points. The final margin was just one straight kick after the Sharks snagged 6.5 to 2.1 in a tense final quarter. Shane McDonald finished with six goals to be his side’s best, while Paul Rebeschini and Jason Gumbleton didn’t let their side down. Mt Eliza’s season is well and truly back on track after hanging on to beat Frankston YCW.
The Redlegs were the Stonecats’ nemesis last season, until the final day of that footy season. Going into the game undefeated, against a side that had fallen from grace, YCW would have been confident. However, it was evident from the first bounce that the Redlegs had set their sights on winning this one. Their pressure was outstanding over four quarters and never, at any stage, did Mt Eliza allow the opposition back into the contest. The Redlegs opened up the game in the second quarter, booting four goals to one, before eventually going on to win 13.13–91 to 9.13–67. Tim Strickland booted three goals for the winners while midfield guns Josh Norman and Rohan Heasley were major influences on the result. Ricky Morris, who had reportedly done a hamstring the week before, played forward and kicked three goals, while Craig Nankervis picked up the three votes for the Stonecats. Pines is just percentage outside the top five after winning a tight battle against Chelsea. The Pythons overcame a slow start, where they trailed by three goals at the first change, to work their way back into the contest and hang on to win 14.12–96 to 12.13–85. After locking away their first win
of the season last week, the Seagulls were always going to be confident of winning two on the trot. At quarter time they led by 20 points, at half time they led by two points and at three quarter time they trailed by four points. Pines skipper Jamie Messina was the difference between the sides in the end. He booted three goals and once again combined beautifully with the best big man on the ground, Beau Hendry. Guy Hendry again competed extremely well in attack and finished with three goals and Shaun Stewart, Brendan Cowell and Nick Wilcox were at their best. Joel Connelly and Ryan Stewart were two of the Seagulls’ best. Edithvale–Aspendale completed the expected and knocked over Langwarrin, however, they didn’t have things all their own way. Scores were locked together at three quarter time before the home side booted 6.1 to 2.2 in the last quarter to win 11.13–79 to 8.8–56. Tim Mavric and Brad Tagg dominated the game for the winners while Zac Muschialli was also up and about. As usual, Daniel Werner and Shane Urbans were the best of the Kangas, while Jarryd Amalfi made a successful return to the side after ankle surgery.
Pirates go down to Pakenham in fifth game of season BASEBALL A1 Mornington vs Pakenham Mornington lost 13-9 to Pakenham. A very poor defensive game did not back what should have been two solid pitching performances from Ryan Campbell and Josh Simpson. Adam Warren collected 3 hits and Nick Dunn made two excellent catches in centerfield. In other results: A2 Mornington vs Pakenham Pumas: First win on the board after a few runs down to win by 3. Matt Dunn threw an outstanding game for the Pirates. All players contributed with the bats in particular Dan Stumbles, Joel Schultz and Mitch Dunn. B1 Mornington vs Frankston Tomatoes: The Pirates played Frankston Tomatoes at home.
Pictures: Callie Clay
The Pirates Max Meates at the mound gave four solid innings of pitching. Unlucky to give up runs due to miss–hits and poor fielding. It took 6 innings to get going with the bat, falling short 18-10. Special mention to Jeremy Fenton, great day with bat and glove. C2 Mornington vs Dandenong West: A bye seemed to take the winning edge off the C2s going down to Dandenong West 16 to 2. 11 of those in one innings, with numerous fielding lapses. Well pitched by Van. Meates again batted strongly. Highlight, a ‘web gem catch’ taken by Hannah Le Blanc at centerfield. JUNIORS U17 Mornington Pirates vs Frankston Tomatoes: The Mornington Pirates defeated Frankston Tomatoes 19-5.
After weeks of misfiring, the Pirates were on a mission with tight fielding and disciplined hitting, allowing the boys to shut down Frankston, scoring 7 runs each in their first two at bats. R. Butler had his U17s pitching debut allowed only 2 hits in 4 innings. J. Nelson closed the game allowing only 1 hit. Overall the U17s had 8 safe hits including 3 singles, 4 doubles and 1 triple. Hits produced by A. Digiovambattista, C. Stuart, J. Nelson, K. Barton U15 Mornington Gold vs Dandenong Gold: The boys hosted a very mature, experienced and strong Dandenong on Saturday. Unfortunately they were hit hard from the outset and never recovered, going down 18 to nil. The boys learned plenty facing very good pitching, copping the loss on the chin. U13 Mornington Gold vs
Frankston: Mornington Gold went down in a hard–fought battle with Frankston, on Saturday morning. Hits to Zac and Harrison, and good pitching saw Mornington come back from a long way behind. End result was 13 to 8 Frankston’s way. U13 Mornington Black vs Pakenham: Pirates 11 defeated Pakenham 8. Safe hits by Pierson 1, Isbister 1, Tedesco 2, Bald 1. Home run to centre field by Pierson. Great pitching by Bald & Pierson. Great sliding by Lewis, Chiurawa, Hosking & Stenberg. U11 Mornington Pirates vs Berwick: Under 11’s came from behind in the final minutes to tie the game 4-4 with Berwick. MVP, Sam Lundgren, Sam McCarthy, James Kent and Quinn Estes had outstanding plays in the field.

Hastings Football Club – the earliest years By Lance Hodgins Part three EARLY in 1894, Hastings was devastated to learn that its beloved captain, John Watson, was to join the exodus of young men for the gold fields around Coolgardie in Western Australia. Watson had been identified with the township of Hastings since childhood, showing a deep interest and amazing proficiency in cricket and football. He had captained the Blues since the club’s inception six years earlier. He was also a popular officer in the Battery. Dan Sheehey had also left the district over the summer. But seven new men were lined up for the Blues to make the team stronger than ever. The annual general meeting at O’Reilly’s hotel saw the season’s office bearers elected by a large and enthusiastic gathering. DJ Ham was president again with Kippe, Steed, Creaney, O’Reilly, Cawsey and D Sheehey sr. as his deputies. The treasurer was T O’Reilly and the committee comprised Len Devlin, D Sheehey sr, Will Jones , T O’Reilly and the secretary DJ Ham. Ham was also selected as captain and T O’Reilly as vice-captain. The secretary informed the meeting that Mornington had already forwarded dates for its four encounters. Frankston claimed dates for three games: one at Frankston, one at Hastings and the “final” at neutral Somerville. Cranbourne would be avoided after last year’s unsavoury meeting and Dromana wanted only two games, both against Flinders. A scratch match between Hastings “north” and “south” displayed a comprehensive playing list for 1894. “North”: Anderson, Burke, Baker, Cusworth, Denham. Devlin, Ham(2), Incigneri, Kerr, Knox, L Mentiplay, Noble, O’Riley (2), Rocke, Unthank,
West and Holhock. “South”: Carey (2), Clauscen, Cleasby, R Davis, Evans, Jones (2), Kearns, Incigneri, Lawrence (2), Mentiplay (2), Orsino, Sheehey, Sposito (2) and Major. The opening game against Mornington on 9 June was played at Hastings on a perfect day, with the ground in splendid order and both teams well represented. From the outset Hastings had the best of it and, despite spraying its shots for goal, were ahead at half time 3—9 to 2-0. The Blues went further ahead and the final score was a decisive victory to Hastings 7-15 to Mornington 2-1. The Hastings ruck of Ham, Kerr (3 goals), Devlin and Sheehey worked well together and they were well supported by Evans, S Mentiplay and R Davis. The following week Hastings travelled to Balnarring to play a Flinders side which had struggled to field a regular team in recent years. Both teams played with a full complement, and Hastings gave some of its younger men a try. At half time the Hastings side led 2-2 to nil. Flinders tired in the second half and Hastings ran out easy winners 9-2 to 0-2. Despite the score it was a bruising encounter and the umpire had his hands full to keep down the rough play. The Hastings boys went home very sore. Goals came from W Ham (3) Kerr (3) Devlin (2) and Noble (1). The best players were Wally Ham, Len Devlin, Billy Jones, Kerr, Davis, Sheehey and Ashton, a new recruit. This was Wally Ham’s last game for the Blues as he left for Ballarat that week. His place was picked up by Major, the best player for Flinders that Saturday who had decided to spend the rest of the season playing regular games with Hastings. Hastings frequently went by boat to matches in 1894. On 30 June the club travelled to Phillip Island and played

Cowes, while three large whales cavorted off Tortoise Head. Two weeks later it prepared to sail to Grantville but the match was called off in the face of gale force winds and rough seas. Saturday 21 July was one of the wettest days of 1894 and Hastings kept its engagement by travelling to Frankston through storms and hail for the first of their three planned encounters. Ashton had been trialling in the City, and he was able to bring along the high-flying Collingwood regular, Jack Monohan, to play for Hastings. Despite the appearance of these two, only 13 regular players had left Hastings and once again substitutes were sought from the ranks of the “barrackers”. The result was a foregone conclusion and Frankston ran out easy winners. On 28 July the Hastings/Flinders match was called off by mutual agreement, allowing Flinders to play a lowkey match against Cowes. It suited the Blues to have a rest day as they faced a huge game on the following Saturday –– the rematch with Frankston at Hastings. The week leading up to this match saw plenty of fireworks and enough animosity to sour relations with Frankston for years. On the Monday Hastings received a telegram requesting a postponement of the game as Frankston had received a match offer that was too good to pass up. The Brighton Football Club wanted to visit Frankston in a show of strength between two powerful teams. Fully booked until the end of the season, the Hastings committee refused to shuffle games and inconvenience other teams with whom arrangements had been made months earlier. The committee’s reply reached Frankston in Wednesday’s mail but by then the damage had been done. Without waiting for the reply, Frankston went ahead and finalised details with Brighton. Rumours had run riot for a week and Brighton game was well known to all and sundry well before the official negotiations. Hastings was incensed and considered it very “despicable and cowardly” to be asked at late notice and then to suggest that its reply was not on time and not the right one anyway. Hastings warned all clubs “not to place any reliance in a club which boasts of the premier position both in football and gentlemanly attainments”. “It is about time their little game was cut short, and they were either boycotted, or compelled to conform to the rules which guide all clubs”. Frankston’s honourary secretary W P Mason was most apologetic for his committee and the “scant courtesy” it had shown Hastings. His offer of three alternative dates which Frankston had available was a moot one considering the Hastings card was full. Hastings secretary Ham rose to the occasion and was scathing in his reply. “My club does not require the superfluous apology which your club extends it, knowing well that such apology is but a miserable subterfuge and emanates from a committee of socalled footballers who, although men, act the part of schoolboys”. “I can sympathise with you as secretary to a body of men who are like shuttlecocks, so easily swayed.” Ham shuffled a few dates as best he could and was able to make a counterproposal for game two but the third one would have to be played on a new date at the end of the season. This time the reply was much less conciliatory. The Frankston sec-
retary sarcastically thanked Hastings for recognising its gentlemanly attainments in becoming the premier side for almost a decade. Furthermore Hastings’ reply had not been immediate and he had accepted the Brighton match in anticipation of a Hastings agreement, since postponement to a later date seemed such a simple thing to do. Furthermore, alluding to the two recent Hastings imports, he snidely remarked that the date proposed for the rematch should please Hastings as it coincided with a Collingwood bye. “It is well known that Hastings are not at all particular in importing men and a more dishonourable thing cannot exist among football circles.” Hastings then accused Frankston of having arranged the Brighton encounter two weeks before and left it until the last moment to assume that Hastings would be willing, in a trice, to break its fixture and shuffle other clubs in agreements made months earlier. In anticipation of an August 25 showdown, feeling among spectators ran at fever pitch. In the local press, a person under the nom de plume “Sport” challenged DJ Ham to a wager of 50 pounds to 20 that Frankston would win by at least two goals, using the same players as in the first encounter. Ham accepted this on the condition that it could be a personal bet, as he was concerned about the players being drawn into a wager which would only serve to heighten the animosity between the two clubs. Under mysterious circumstances, the date was never officially agreed upon, and neither the match nor the wager took place. Grantville had been shuffled to make 25 August clear and it was relaxing for the Hastings men to go there a week later. Players had to leave the Hastings pier at 4am for a trip that took seven hours. Hastings won the game three goals to one and afterwards were entertained by the host captain and his team. The Blues then left at 1 am in order to arrive in Hastings by 8am on Sunday. The third match against Frankston, set for 15 September at Somerville, displaced a possible Cowes fixture, but by then interest in football had waned. By mid-September, cricket was the all-consuming topic in sporting circles on the peninsula. Looking back on 1894 Hastings had played eight matches for six wins. That year, only Frankston had a better record. Hastings began 1895 without Ham, Burke, Evans and Devlin. The good news was the timely return of Dan Sheehey to the ranks. Hastings looked forward to a plenty of games, since Grantville had donated 23 premiership caps for the winning team in a competition made up of Loch, Grantville, Wonthaggi, Cowes and Hastings. Secretary Bert Watson and delegates Sheehey and Knox were to finalise arrangements but not enough vacant dates could be found to allow their full participation. Closer to home, commitments had been received from Hastings, Frankston, Somerville, Mornington and Dromana. Hastings made preparations for a practice match against Shoreham and their playing list included the following: Dan Sheehey (captain), C Knox (vc), T Knox, Mentiplay (3), Carey (2), O’Reilly (2), Sposito (2), McLaughlin
(2), Kerr, Cusworth, Campbell, Yorke, Prosser, Evans, Cook, Stanford, Lamble, Orsino, Mackie, Davis (2), Watson, Incigneri and Taylor. On 25 May, Hastings travelled to Mornington for its opening game which was a close and friendly affair. Hastings won 2-3 to 1-4 with goals from Sposito and Mentiplay. Best for Hastings were Cusworth, Knox (2), Sheehey, Mentiplay, Davis and Roberts. The following week Hastings hosted the newly-formed Somerville club and won 7-6 to 0-1. Goalkickers were Sposito (2), Knox, Davis, Mentiplay, T Knox and G Mentiplay. Best were Knox, Sheehey, Watson, Davis and Cusworth. Next up Hastings journeyed to Cowes with a much reduced team. Sheehey, the captain, had gone over only as a spectator as he was nursing a badly injured foot. On seeing only nine men line up for the Blues, he took the field and played a brilliant part in a good victory. Final scores were Hastings 4-17 to Cowes 0-6. The game was rough and the umpire showed little control. Carey (2), Sposito and Mentiplay kicked the goals. The long-awaited visit from Frankston was 22 June 1895 and great preparations were made in order to avoid any dissatisfaction with the outcome. A central umpire was engaged from Melbourne. Hastings scored a goal in the first minute of the game and continued a relentless attack in what would seem like a rout. For three quarters, Hastings had command of the play with its heavier men making the most of the wet ground. Wasted scoring opportunities allowed Frankston to stay in the game and the final result was an exciting draw – three goals six behinds each. Considering the tension of the previous season when Hastings had been “stood up”, the game was played in a surprisingly friendly manner, free from undue roughness. At the close of the game three cheers were heartily given by each team. Mentiplay played superbly, being on the ball from start to finish. Others to shine were Kerr, Sheehey, Cusworth, Sposito and Watson. A few weeks later Hastings played another draw when Mornington visited and each side kicked four goals. A return match was hastily arranged for the following week and won by Mornington 1-2 to 0-5. Although Hastings had much of the play, poor kicking cost them the game. Kerr, Sheehey, Cook, Mentiplay and Jones played well. Hastings had to wait until 24 August for its return match with Frankston. A strong wind spoilt good play in general and determined which side would kick goals each quarter. Cook (2) and Carey kicked Hastings’ goals in the first quarter, and Frankston scored five with the wind in the next. Frankston held the Blues in the third quarter and then sealed the victory with two in the last. Final scores were 8-5 to 4-5. Sposito showed brilliant judgement in the strong wind, ably supported by Sheehey, Knox, Cusworth, Watson and Cook. By the time the round of 7 September had been played, Frankston was in an unbeatable position for the 1895 “premiership” and the rejoicing and celebrating began. Neither Mornington nor Hastings could catch them so, amidst an influenza epidemic and rough weather, they cancelled their last encounter for that year. To be continued...
