Medical graffiti

Legal graffiti: Mikey Newman is turning graffiti into an acceptable artform. Picture: Yanni

By Keith Platt WHILE residents, police and other lawmakers make plans to stamp out graffiti, a Tyabb doctor quietly used his own form of outdoor advertising to find a street artist. The Westernport Medical Centre needed a paint job so Dr Michael Glasby decided to find a painter who knew all about attracting attention. His graffiti-style sign scrawled on the centre was in no way artistic but caught the eye. The words made it obvious the paint job was intentional not vandalism: ‘graffiti artist(s) wanted’. The doctor’s attempt at graffiti was like a flag to Mikey Newman who has made a habit, and a living, from spraying walls with paint. Also known as Mikey XxI (for 21st century), Newman had recently moved to Langwarrin. He admits to “starting out on the wrong side of the law” and now uses his tagging style as a form of signwriting. The advertisement on the wall of the Mornington-Tyabb Rd centre had the desired outcome – Newman applied for the job. Preferring to “let the art speak for itself” he admits to being a “prominent street artist in Brisbane for more than 15 years, as well as being involved in the hip hop music scene”. Legitimate avenues he has found for his art include galleries and a Facebook page. The medical centre sign took three days, although a day was lost to rain. Newman, 36, says Dr Glasby left the lettering style up to him, but wanted the words to reflect sporting and outdoor activities. Quite a few conversations were struck up with passersby while Newman was at work, with some possibly leading to other legal graffiti jobs. This week he is finishing signs on a tattoo parlour at Mentone. To see more of his work, go to artofmikey.com or email 21brisbane@gmail.com

Monarch scrapped By Mike Hast THE ship that carried slab steel to BlueScope’s Western Port mill for almost 40 years is at anchor off India waiting to be scrapped. MV Iron Monarch made its final voyage to Hastings on 4 October after the company closed its Western Port hot strip mill on 19 October. It also closed one of two metal coating plants

on 22 October. The closures cost more than 270 jobs. BlueScope announced in January it would sell Iron Monarch and transport hot-rolled coil steel to Hastings by rail, rather than refit the ship. Iron Monarch left Port Kembla on 17 April, bound for Singapore. Yesterday (Monday), the 180-metre long, 10,584-tonne roll-on roll-off carrier was anchored in the Arabian Sea off Alang,

whose beaches have become a major worldwide centre for ship breaking. Supertankers, ferries, container ships and other large vessels are beached during high tides, and hundreds of labourers dismantle each ship. It is an ignominious end for the revolutionary ship built by BHP at Whyalla, SA, in 1973. BHP became BlueScope in 2003. Iron Monarch was built to carry

manufactured steel such as rolled steel, railway lines and structural steel loaded through a huge stern door. She was the first Australian ship to be propelled by a heavy-duty marine gas turbine engine and could do 23 knots. A sister ship, Iron Duke, was built in 1974, but scrapped 12 years later. Writing in the World Ship Society’s Victorian branch newsletter, Captain Mike Carolin said the Iron Monarch

being scrapped was “a classic corporate blunder” as BlueScope spent $17 million overhauling the vessel in Singapore in 2011. He said the company’s decision to bring coiled steel from Port Kembla to Western Port by rail “spelt the death knell for the Iron Monarch, which would have required further modifications”.

Prescription callouts By Keith Platt FRANKSTON tops the list of 29 municipalities for ambulance callouts to patients suffering adverse reactions to prescription-type drugs. While alcohol remains the biggest reason for an ambulance to be called, Frankston comes first for problems caused by benzodiazepine, antidepressants, antipsychotics and opioid analgesics. On the plus side, Frankston has been beaten from the top spot it held in 2009-10 by Hume for other analgesicrelated ambulance attendances. The latest statistics on ambulances are in a report prepared by Turning Point and Alcohol Drug with the Health Department and Ambulance Victoria. The report illustrates how the misuse of drugs causes a drain on the public purse through the increased use ambulances and demands on police needed to help control violent drug users. The report groups ambulance callouts into 18 categories including legal drugs such as alcohol and the prescription drugs causing problems in Frankston, as well as cannabis, ecstasy, heroin, GHB, crystal methamphetamine and cocaine. More than 14,000 calls made for ambulances in Metropolitan Melbourne last year involved alcohol and prescription drugs. In 2009-10 there were 331 alcoholrelated calls for ambulances in Frankston, a five per cent increase on the previous year. However, this was well below the 1024 calls in central Melbourne.

The Mornington Peninsula had 208 calls, with noticeable peaks between November and February. The report highlights a 107 per cent increase in the use of crystal methamphetamine, also known as ice, with 220 incidents in 2010-11. Frankston had 14 calls involving crystal methamphetamine in 2010-11, or five per cent of the total for metropolitan Melbourne. However, when it came to benzodiazepine, Frankston retained its position as the municipality with the highest number of ambulance attendances: 198 in 2010-11, ahead of central Melbourne 195. The peninsula had 112 calls, coming 12th on the list. The other areas where Frankston led the 29 municipalities were antidepressants (76 calls; 18 fewer than the previous year, but still he highest for any municipality), antipsychotics (91) and opioid analgesics (37). The peninsula had 60 calls involving antidepressants, 42 for antipsychotics, and 13 for opioid analgesics. Heroin was among the other drugs seeing increases in ambulance calls in 2010-11 (Frankston 30, the peninsula

12). Frankston was up from 23 in the previous year while the peninsula did not rank at all in 2009-10. Frankston, 18, and the peninsula, 6, both recorded increases in calls for help over the use of GBH. Anticonvulsants saw 16 calls from Frankston in 2010 and 12 from the peninsula Frankston had 59 calls involving cannabis and the peninsula 47, both up on the previous year. The proportion of ecstasy-related calls was also up, with Frankston having 10 and the peninsula 8. Neither municipality had ambulance calls about cocaine. Across Melbourne the figures show increases of more than 10 per cent in ambulance calls for abuses of alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines and crystal methamphetamine. Turning Point director Professor Dan Lubman said an all-community approach was needed to tackle the issue. “Government, health bodies, law enforcement agencies and even local residents and businesses can all play an important role in finding solutions to the challenges we are facing.”

Pulling power: Hundreds of dogs appeared to be taking their owners for a tour of Hastings foreshore on Sunday during the RSPCA’s annual Million Paws Walk. While owners dodged puddles and smaller breeds found themselves out of their depth, the labradors were ready to take a dive and lap it up. Pictures: David Chalke

Dogs take the lead on foreshore walk By Keith Platt JUDGING by the number of people it takes to walk one dog, human feet probably outnumbered paws at Hastings Foreshore Reserve on Sunday. Hundreds of dog owners were doing the rounds of the reserve to raise money for the RSPCA in this year’s Million Paws Walk. Mornington Peninsula Shire did a hasty patchup job to fix low-lying areas of the track that a week before had turned into puddles. However, the remaining puddles were entirely acceptable to water dogs like the labrador, but a

little deep for those with shorter legs. David Chalke, a keen observer of human behaviour in his professional role as a social scientist, saw the shire’s “frantic remediation works” as being too little too late. He said most work was carried out on “those bits of the path visible from the shire offices” while “a more desultory approach was taken to the pathway to the north and west where they seem to have just lost interest”. “One particularly nasty pool remained, which the labradors loved.”

In the lead-up to Sunday’s walk, the shire’s sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said the “shire is working to have the Hastings foreshore pathways accessible and useable for the Million Paws Walk”. “Maintaining the pathways in this area is challenging, as the flat terrain makes draining the area very difficult,” Mr Atkins said. “Ongoing settlement of this former landfill site results in the formation of hollows that hold water and the recent persistent rains have exacerbated this problem.

“Subject to weather, it is intended to raise the level of some areas of the pathways and to reshape some areas to assist drainage. “It is hoped that these works will allow the participants in the Million Paws Walk to enjoy a successful event.” They did, and the weather helped. The RSPCA said it had a record number of participants in the various Million Paws Walks across the state and it was confident of raising the $477,000 target to help support animal welfare work.

“She was converted to carry slab in 1985-86. How ironic was it that the switch from coil to slab spelt the death knell of the ANL’s two dedicated coil carriers, Lysaght Enterprise and Lysaght Endeavour, in 1986,” Capt Carolin wrote. BlueScope would not reveal the selling price, but Maritime Union of Australia official Garry Keane said it was less than $5 million. He said Iron Monarch’s demise was a sad day for Australian shipping. The decision to sell the ship was not only sad, but wrong, he said. “When the refitted Iron Monarch sailed back to Port Kembla last June, it did so to much fan-

fare and media coverage. Yet she only worked for nine weeks, doing the same run to Western Port that she had done every week since she was built in Whyalla in 1973, before BlueScope decided that she would be laid up then sold. “The refit gave Iron Monarch at least another 10 years of service.” Mr Keane said the union believed the decision to transport 650,000 tonnes of steel by rail with Pacific National to Hastings each year was “flawed”. The rail network won’t be able to cope with the demand and BlueScope will have to charter a ship with a foreign crew, he said.

Shire hitches $75,000 ride By Keith Platt MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire last month spent more than $25,000 on a bike â&#x20AC;&#x153;rideâ&#x20AC;? that raised $6500 for the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria. The shire has a three-year agreement to provide $75,000 and â&#x20AC;&#x153;in-kindâ&#x20AC;? support for the Arthurs Seat Bay 2 Bay Ride, which attracts about 1000 professional and amateur cyclists as well as families. While riders are encouraged to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation, no part of their entry fees or the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $25,000 was given to the foundation. Riders were charged $99 for the 113km course, $89 for the 65km course and $55 a person or $130 a family for the 20km course. Peninsula residents were offered a $10 discount on all rides and sponsors gave such items as sunglasses and T-shirts. A comprehensive website that provided many details of the Bay 2 Bay Ride devoted little space to promoting the foundation, although it displayed the Epilepsy Foundation logo. In the lead-up to the event the shire issued a news release on 16 April detailing the work of the Epilepsy Foundation and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;riders can choose to donate or fundraise for the epilepsy foundationâ&#x20AC;?. Shire CEO Michael Kennedy was in a group of riders organised by the shire for a pre-event photo â&#x20AC;&#x153;opportunityâ&#x20AC;? the following day at Arthurs Seat. Responding to emailed questions from The News, the shire stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lisa Wilson, shire community and special events, advises: Shire contributes $25K (both cash and in-kind) to the event,

which is aimed at families, people with disabilities, professional riders, veterans and children the event aims to promote benefits of healthy lifestyle choices and active participation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Trevorrow, event organiser advises: Last year between 700 and 800 did the ride and this year we expect around 1100. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;entry feeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goes to Epilepsy but entrants are encouraged to donate and to get sponsored with all funds going to Epilepsy Foundation Victoria. This is the first year Epilepsy have been involved. At this stage approximately $3000 has been raised for Epilepsy.â&#x20AC;? The figure eventually jumped to $6500, according to the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development manager Jeremy Maxwell. Of this amount, $2800 was from riders and the rest was collected by volunteers at the event. While enthusiastic about the ride and Arthurs Seat State Park, Mr Maxwell said the Epilepsy Foundation had not received any money from sponsors. Further inquiries to the shire in the two weeks after the ride revealed the existence of the $75,000 three-year agreement plus â&#x20AC;&#x153;resources/officer time to assist with during and post event planning to ensure the ride is conducted safely and successfullyâ&#x20AC;?. On 15 May, after repeated requests for more details, the shire provided â&#x20AC;&#x153;informationâ&#x20AC;? from recreation and leisure manager Peter Gore. Mr Gore said the rideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organiser Cycling Events Downunder â&#x20AC;&#x153;have a three-year grant with the shire

The exercise involving aircraft, boats and people on shore on 5-7 June will be jointly run by Australian Maritime Safety Authority, the Victorian Department of Transport, and the Australian Marine Oil Spill Centre. It will involve operations both on and off the water, on the shoreline, wildlife, marine and aviation response. Somers Yacht Club will be the shore base, Stony Point the base for the boats and Tyabb the aircraft base. The yacht club will play host to about 140 people for a debriefing on the last day.

prior to each event and this includes the debrief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funding is part of Priority Projects, which is part of the Annual Budget; the Annual Budget 2010 was adopted by Council on 26 July.â&#x20AC;? The 2011-12 budget adopted by council lists the Bay2Bay cost at $30,000.

THE shire councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monday 28 May meeting is at Hastings Community Hub and will include a traditional â&#x20AC;&#x153;welcome to countryâ&#x20AC;?, didgeridoo playing and dance, smoking ceremony and reconciliation presentations from representatives of Willum Warrain (the Aboriginal gathering place), the recipient of the Tjaegan Wilson Blow Reconciliation Award 2011 and others. After the 6pm meeting, residents are invited to a buffet-style meal and the opportunity to meet councillors and members of the Aboriginal community. The shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reconciliation Film Night is at 6.30pm on Wednesday 30 May at the shire office, Queen St, Mornington. Screening will be Among Us, a story of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stolen generationsâ&#x20AC;? of Victoria directed by Richard Frankland. The Lingmarra Choir will perform.

Teaching on the borderline By Tony Murrell FEW will brave the bone-jarring, threehour drive to a remote Cambodian village near the Thai border to pioneer professional development workshops for Khmer teachers. Even fewer volunteers, who pay their own way to Cambodia, will stay three days in dusty surroundings where accommodation and places to eat are, at best, basic. But the experience is “a privilege and a thrill” for retired secondary school principal Sue Slater, of Mornington, and her friend, retired assistant principal Bronwyn van der Merche, of Frankston. The two women volunteer with notfor-profit Teachers Across Borders Australia (TAB), using their skills to help raise education standards with workshops for the mostly poorly trained Khmer teachers in the Cambodian provinces. TAB Australia executive director and founder Brian Allen, a resident of Rosebud, estimates workshops in three provinces over the past six years have impacted on more than 100,000 pupils. The former primary school principal candidly describes TAB programs as under resourced, limited in reach, but effective nevertheless. “The Wheeler Foundation provided funding for people to assess our programs in Cambodia and they found that what we are doing is making a difference,” Mr Allen said. “We are challenging Cambodians to rethink their teaching practice.” The programs guide teachers away

from teaching rote learning to techniques that make pupils think for themselves. Mr Allen says rote learning perpetuates submissiveness by children who are often sold or traded by parents into jobs, including prostitution. At least eight teachers from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have volunteered with TAB over six years. Some have been to Cambodia up to six times. These are not junkets to see a developing country on the cheap: beside paying their own way, the Aussie teachers’ out-of-pocket expenses have included attendance payments to Khmer teachers and school directors who could not otherwise afford the time for professional development. During holidays most teachers in Cambodia must find other jobs to feed their families. Their $28 to $50-a-month salary does not extend to holiday pay. Support for the program has come from the Rotary clubs of Rosebud-Rye and Camberwell, Soroptimists International and the Peace Fund. Since 2005 Soroptimists International has supported Teachers Across Borders by funding 16 teachers from the remote Hun Sen Santepheap primary school, Sampov Loun District, to attend workshops in Battambang, Cambodia’s third-largest city nearly 300km from the capital Phnom Penh. Soroptimists paid for the two teachers’ accommodation plus a stipend to staff attending workshops and some resources used in the workshops. The far-flung school is in the border village of Tropeanproulet, straddling a

pot-holed, unmade and busy main road jammed with trucks trading goods between Cambodia and Thailand. Sue Slater and Bronwyn van der Merche, both members of Mornington Peninsula Soroptimists International, visited the village in January. It was Ms Slater’s sixth visit to Cambodia, once as part of the Wheeler Foundation review team “We were keen to continue TAB’s work and build on support from Soroptimists International by trialling a professional development model of workshops at a remote school,” Ms Slater said. What they encounter is challenging: a school of 1352 pupils with more than 50 to a class. Nine of the 24 teachers did not reach Year 9. Outside, the thick, dry-season dust coats everything and rubble is everywhere. Roadworks and drainage are haphazard. More than 75 per cent of Sampov Loun citizens live in poverty. Mr Sao Sary, an administrator from the district education office, underscores the remoteness of the border district as well as a paucity of educational resources when he tells the Australian women that this is the first training workshop ever for teachers in Sampov Loun district. “Education in the provinces is hampered by poorly paid untrained staff, lack of leadership, poor attendance – particularly in harvest season – and poorly resourced schools,” Ms Slater said. “Some lack basic facilities such as toilets, running water or a well.

“There is little school security: partially fenced grounds mean that livestock and vandals cause regular damage and child kidnapping is not uncommon. “Student completion at lower secondary is a major issue with grade nine completion rates less than 30 per cent in some rural schools. “Community participation is limited because parents are generally poor rural workers with no time to spare.” But there is a big plus, too, says the former principal. However formidable the difficulties appear, the Khmer teachers are very keen to improve their skills and their schools. “Teachers reacted positively to our workshops, concentrating on consistent classroom practice across the school as well as teaching and learning techniques,” Ms Slater said. “We hope to return to continue work at the school and also hope that teachers complete future TAB workshop programs in Battambang.” Ongoing development of the school library and online coaching support for teachers are among strategies to help improve teaching and learning at Hun Sen Santepheap. Over the past six years Teachers Across Borders has run 15 six- to eightday workshops in three Cambodian provinces – Battambang, Kampong Thom and Kampong Cham where they have trained more than 2000 Khmer teachers and directors. At Battambang, the Khmers say that TAB workshops are the only profes-

sional development they can access. Professional development opportunities are limited and unplanned because schools generally rely on nongovernment organisations for training. Teachers Across Borders Australia had its start when executive director Brian Allen took up a challenge from a United States woman he met while visiting South East Asia for World Vision in 2006. “She had started Teachers Across Borders in the US, suggesting I could do the same in Australia. “I had never seen such poverty. When you see it – when you’re there it’s a whole different world.” Mr Allen was shocked into action. Thirty people responded to an article about Mr Allen’s ambition in Education Age in August 2006. By Christmas that year, TAB’s work was formalised in a project agreement with the Cambodian Ministry of Education: the new organisation was committed to provide professional development for teachers and school directors for a 10-year period. The committee of management is already contemplating the organisation’s future beyond the decade-long accord. Mr Allen’s personal dream is to spread TAB’s work to Australia’s near neighbours like East Timor and the Pacific Islands, depending on need. TAB’s status as a registered charity in Australia means that donations are tax deductible. Details: Email teachersacrossborders@gmail.com or online at www. teachersacrossborders.org.au

Mobile Graeme is looking for work By Keith Platt GRAEME Althaus has had a few setbacks, but is determined to continue life as “normal” as possible. The Hastings man was a painter before a series of strokes led to him losing a leg and the use of one arm. A motorised scooter was his lifeline to going down the street to socialise and shop as well as earning an income. Mr Althaus delivered newspapers and brochures from the scooter, which was old and unreliable. If it was not breaking down, he would fall out of the unstable threewheeler. Rather than sit back and do nothing, Mr Althaus tried to find work through the Frankston-based Job Focus organisation, which helps find paid work for disadvantaged or disabled adults and school students. The scooter was in disrepair and too small due to his excess weight gain, which resulted in it continually tipping over. Employment coordinator Sandra Wilkes “exhausted all avenues within government departments” to find money to enable Mr Althaus to buy a new scooter. “They were saying a two-year wait, which is unacceptable as Graeme could not wait that long,” Ms Wilkes said. Taking matters into his own hands, Mr Althaus started knocking on the doors of Hastings businesses seeking some support to pay for the $3500 scooter. Ben Tallon Real Estate pledged $1000 and Western Port Mobility

Skate great MT Eliza’s new skate park in Wooralla Drive will be officially opened on Saturday 26 May with a Skate and BMX South Eastern League meeting for open male and female, under-16 and under-12 BMXers (register from 11am) and skaters (2pm). The opening from 1-2pm will feature a Moss Jam skate demo. A shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes from Mt Eliza Primary School, corner Nepean Highway and Wooralla Dve, as well as Mt Eliza Post Office. Competition details at: www.skate park.ymca.org.au

Golf for Red Cross A GOLF day to raise money for the Red Cross will be held at Portsea Golf Club on Thursday 7 June. The shotgun start is at 9am with a four-person Ambrose. Registration is available from 8am. There will be nearest the pins for men and women and trophies for the winner and runner-up. Entry is $25 for Portsea members and $40 for others. For more information and bookings call 5984 3521 or email eventmanager @portseagolf.com.au The draw will be at www.portsea golf.com.au after Monday 31 May. Ready for work: Graeme Althaus at home in Hastings with his new motorised scooter and Sandra Wilkes, of Job Focus.

agreed to hand over a scooter before it was fully paid off. Mr Althaus receives a small mobility allowance, but hopes other businesses will come forward to help him repay the $2500 balance in a shorter time. Ms Wilkes said Mr Althaus had little left to live on after paying for accommodation at South Care Lodge, in

SOMERS Residents Association is seeking compensation from Telstra following loss of communication from the fixed line service. Scores of residents have reported being without use of their phones for 11 days. Telstra has described the problem as a “major outage”.

Victoria St, Hastings, “and it would be such a financial release for him to be able to keep the mobility allowance”. “He’s determined not to give in,” she said. “Bunnings is giving him some work experience and he continues doing letterbox deliveries, but wants to do something else.

“His head’s full of knowledge when it comes to painting, but he is not capable of doing the physical part of working in a paint shop.” If anyone can help Mr Althaus pay for his scooter or find work, contact Sandra Wilkes on 9784 5888 or 0408 247 204.

At last, Somerville’s avenue of honour By Mike Hast THE first trees in Somerville’s Avenue of Honour were planted last Wednesday, bringing a happy ending to a long-running sore point. The avenue of plain trees was planted in 1917 and stretched about 600 metres from the roundabouts, past the primary school and down to Alfred St, which runs through to Guelph St. Plain trees were also planted in Station St, on the other side of the railway line. Some still exist, starting from the intersection of Station St and Jones Rd. Under each trees was a plaque honouring the 82 Somerville men who served in the First World War. When Eramosa Rd East was widened and “modernised” for the growing shopping centre in the early 1970s, the Shire of Hastings removed the plaques and chopped down the trees. The plaques were stored at the shire depot in Hastings but vanished. On Wednesday, local councillor Lynn Bowden said the avenue of honour would start at the corner of Station St and Eramosa Road West, extending along Station St into Jones Rd to the corner of George St. “The official opening and planting signifies the deep appreciation for those who served in the past and recognises the importance of having a living memorial for those who will serve in the future,” she said. The avenue will consist of 50 Manchurian pear trees, which also have been used to replace poplars cut down in the centre median strip of the Nepean Hwy at Mornington. Cr Bowden said the pears were a highly attractive

deciduous tree with beautiful autumn colourings. “They will grow to about five metres high and were chosen because of their decorative foliage and resilience to different soil conditions and environments.” She said the avenue of honour was stage one of a project to further honour the town’s heritage. Stage two would see the relocation of the cenotaph from the corner of Clarinda St and Jones Rd to Fruitgrowers Reserve as well as construction of an improved area for passive recreation. It was hoped work would be finished by the end of 2013. Cr Bowden said the avenue of honour had been made possible with the support of her fellow councillors as well as Somerville-Tyabb and District Heritage Society and Hastings-Somerville RSL. HMAS Cerberus Band played at the tree planting. Somerville historian and author Leila Shaw, who was part of a group of women lobbying for a new avenue of honour, said the revival of national interest in Anzac Day and Remembrance Day in recent years, especially among young people, had made a compelling case to recreate the avenue. “Small peninsula communities like Somerville paid dearly during the First World War and we should always strive to remember their sacrifice,” she said. The heritage society is collecting the names and service numbers of defence force personnel for the avenue of honour project. It has 82 names from the First World War and about 30 from the Second World War. Anyone who has details of servicemen and women can contact the society on 5977 6489 or email somtyheritage@hotmail.com

Manchurian candidate: Above, HMAS Cerberus personnel plant one of the Manchurian pear trees that will grow to about five metres high and become Somerville’s Avenue of Honour. Below, at the tree planting were shire council CEO Michael Kennedy, left, Watson Ward councillor Lynn Bowden, Victoria’s RSL chief MajorGeneral David McLachlan, Brenda Thornell of Somerville-Tyabb and District Heritage Society and HastingsSomerville RSL president Kieran Gallagher.

Saving grace for those left behind SUE Wilding has been a state MP and a councillor and shire president of the former Shire of Hastings. In a political career that spanned the 1980s and 1990s, she learned first-hand of problems people faced when a loved one became incapacitated or died. The trauma and difficulties that arose during such extreme emotional times led her to make a promise that it would not be something she would inflict on her own family. She would leave detailed instructions as to what she wanted to happen if she was incapacitated or died unexpectedly. Over the past few years Ms Wilding has â&#x20AC;&#x153;developed and perfectedâ&#x20AC;? a comprehensive checklist and record-keeping package to help compile â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best dossier of your personal records for your own peace of mind and those of your loved onesâ&#x20AC;?. My Life in a Flash is an easy-to-follow and fill in computer document supplied on a USB flash drive. Two CDs are supplied as back-ups and the document itself can be updated to cope with changing circumstances. Ms Wilding says the package â&#x20AC;&#x153;avoids the difficulties that may arise when your wishes are not identified or the location of your important documents are not knownâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death, like taxes, as they say, is inevitable,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But before we reach that predictable outcome of our lives, we accumulate a huge amount of information. Much of that information is extremely important to our family and loved ones and for them to be able to access that information quickly

and easily at a distressing time is priceless.â&#x20AC;? Things listed on My Life in a Flash include medical details, investments and assets, bank accounts, location of will and other important documents and funeral requests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are all important details for relatives to know if you become incapacitated by age, or even by accident, and when you die,â&#x20AC;? Ms Wilding said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will eliminate much of the worry for relatives or friends who are responsible for making decisions on your behalf.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;These are all important details ... if you become incapacitated by age, or even by accident, and when you dieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;You not only get peace of mind, knowing that your affairs are in order and that what you want to have happen will happen, but peace of mind is also granted to your loved ones, as they do not need to bear the burden of hunting for your information in their time of grief.â&#x20AC;? Ms Wilding described My Life in a Flash as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a living documentâ&#x20AC;? and believes it to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most comprehensive checklist availableâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has all your information in one place, all on one flash drive, should you need to evacuate your home at short notice, due to fire or flood for example, all your important data can easily go with you,â&#x20AC;? she said. The document is also available as a hard copy with instructions and a completed sample guide.

Govt cash makes a hub for whole community FEDERAL and state politicians of both flavours descended on Hastings for the official opening of Hastings Hub last Wednesday. The redevelopment of the former sports and leisure centre in Frankston-Flinders Rd near Kings Creek was announced in May 2009. The Rudd Labor government promised $2.17 million, the Brumby Labor state government $729,000 and Mornington Peninsula Shire the balance of the $3 million project. The redevelopment of the sports centre built in 1978 by the Shire of Hastings was finished last year. Simon Crean, Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government, represented the Gillard government, and Hastings MP Neale Burgess represented Peter Ryan, Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional and Rural Development. They were joined by shire mayor Cr Frank Martin, other shire officials and Brian Stahl, chairman of the Hastings Hub steering committee and a former Hastings area councillor with the shire. Mr Crean said the Hub was â&#x20AC;&#x153;an empowering new asset for the regionâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The local sporting community will benefit from new facilities for dance, gymnastics, karate and more,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern meeting spaces, kitchen facility and barbecue deck also make it the perfect place for community groups to meet and will support services for disadvantaged members of the Hastings community.â&#x20AC;? He said the upgrade included a new sprung floor, toilets and change rooms, upgrades to heating and cooling systems, and the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior. Mr Burgess said the Hub upgrade had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a

wonderful community project that will deliver great benefits for the people of Hastingsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to acknowledge the Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal group, which worked closely with the shire council and state government to ensure the redevelopment best met the long-term needs of the community.â&#x20AC;? He said the upgrade included the conversion of three squash courts into general activity spaces and the creation of a new multi-purpose community room. Mike Hast

THE property at 1527 FrankstonFlinders Rd, Tyabb, formerly known as Potts General Store, but for the last 27 years trading as Tyabb Antique Centre, failed to attract any bids at its auction last Friday. Twelve spectators watched as auctioneer, Phil Stone of L Cooper Real Estate, Somerville, passed the property in on a vendor’s bid of $650,000. Negotiations are continuing with two interested parties. Owner Peter McDonnell bought the 560-square metre property in 1983 and operates Tyabb Antique Centre from the front shop. Next door, also part of the property, is Tilly’s Cafe and at the rear is a townhouse, both of which are leased separately.

Express yourself

Set and forget freehold

DON’T go for second-best, go for this very well-known and popular Mornington business. Operating for 22 years, the salon trades 5½ days a week and has a regular clientele. A long lease is available and the rent is reasonable. The shop measures 60 square metres and has six cutting stations. For ease of changeover, senior staff are willing to continue on with the new owners.

HERE is a rare opportunity to purchase a freehold business with a three-bedroom residence as part of the sale. Set over two levels, the apartment on the top floor and shop at ground level measure 200 square metres in total. The tenant is Peninsula Pantry, which has three years remaining on its current lease with a further 3 x 3-year option.

Choose your own hours

OPERATING out of near-new premises, this Indian restaurant has 15 years remaining on its lease. A set of bifold doors open onto a patio area, with an outlook across parklands to the foreshore, which creates extra dining space during the warmer months. The restaurant has seating for 150 with scope to increase this to 200, which is in line with the current liquor licence. The business lends itself to corporate lunches and dinners with a full sound system, projector and visual display units, which are all included in the substantial chattels list. Opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner.

VERY popular with locals and visitors in the busier summer months, including many campers who come to the area, the Balnarring Beach General Store sells takeaway food and various mixed lines plus coffee. Stock is also carried for camping and fishing. Current takings are about $8000 a week and still showing growth potential. Set directly behind the shop is an adjoining four-bedroom home, which would serve as the owner’s residence and is included as part of the lease of the business. The store is being sold on a walk in, walk out basis with all fixtures, fittings and stock included.

$15m for pier and safer harbour

Under cover: Ports Minister Dennis Napthine, left, provides shelter for Mornington MP David Morris after announcing money to complete restoration of the pier. Picture: Yanni

By Mike Hast THE state government will spend $15 million to rebuild the outer 75 metres of Mornington Pier. The grant announced on Monday last week by Minister for Ports Dennis Napthine and Mornington MP David Morris is the lion’s share of $23 million allocated in the state budget earlier this month for “critical local port infrastructure upgrades”. The news has been welcomed by boaties, environmentalists and traders, with Mr Morris singled out for praise for getting the money during tight economic times. The grant includes money to install wave screen panels on the middle, 53-metre section rebuilt between August 2010 and September 2011 (work ceased mid-December 2010 to 1 February 2011 to enable walkers and anglers to use the pier). The rebuilt outer section also will have wave screens. Mornington Yacht Club’s Kevin Donnellan said it was a great result for the community and would make “70 per cent of the harbour safe”. The club and other harbour users have been lobbying government for almost 30 years to protect Mornington from big northerly storms. Two events in 1983 and 2008 sunk or washed onto beaches and rocks more than 30 boats each time. In February, Mornington Peninsula Shire rejected the yacht club’s plan to build a 197-boat marina in the harbour, which would have included a 210-metre wave screen running off at an angle from the pier’s end.

Mr Donnellan said the club still wanted a wave wall “at least 50 to 80 metres long”. “We’d still like a refuelling facility, a pump out system for waste water from boats and a place for Volunteer Marine Rescue Mornington, coast guard and water police boats.” Mornington Environment Association president Jan Oliver welcomed the news. The harbour would be more sheltered from storms, she said. “Now we have to trust construction will not disturb the unique sea life under the pier.” Ms Oliver, a founder of the Marine Education Society of Australasia, said diving at the pier was one of the great experiences in Port Phillip. “We are lucky to have all these marine treasures – and the pier, especially in this International Year of Marine Biodiversity.” When completed, the government will have spent about $18.5 million on the pier since August 2010. It was closed in April 2010 after a storm damaged piles and dislodged about 100 top deck planks. Two more storms in August and September – with winds of more than 60 knots – further weakened the iconic structure, a form of which has served the town for more than 150 years. In August 2010, Parks Victoria contractor K V Johnson Constructions of Carrum Downs started work on the middle, 53-metre section. It was scheduled to be completed by December, which was revised to April 2011 and then July. The delay

was caused by bad weather. This work cost $3.5 million and involved replacing old wooden pylons with concrete ones and installing a three-piece reinforced concrete deck with timber planks on top. When the middle section was reopened to the public last winter, the outer section was left unconnected to the new section. In June 2011, The News reported the outer section was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of piles had failed or were about to fail and were not supporting the top deck. About half of the remaining 80 per cent were in “average condition” and the outer section was one big storm away from irreparable damage. Dr Napthine said “the full reconstruction of the 75-metre outer section and the installation of wave screens along the pier’s full 123-metre length” would provide protection for boaters. He said Victoria’s local ports were an important part of the state economy, generating more then $550 million each year through tourism, commercial fishing and recreational boating. The scope of the work has not been decided, but the outer section has about 125 piles. Divers would be hoping the work includes stairs and a platform near the water, items omitted when the middle section was rebuilt due to higher than expected costs. No date for completion of the work has been set.

HISTORY

Museum’s gun one of only three Rain, coffee and laughter THE Morning Coffee held by Hastings-Western Port Historical Society on 3 May at Hastings Museum was held under a rainy sky. However, avoiding the flooded parts of the footpath outside the museum, with umbrellas in hand and wearing raincoats, people came. The room at the museum was cosy and warm thanks to the recent installation of a reverse-cycle air-conditioner provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The attraction for the excellent attendance was the guest speaker, local historian Joy Coleman who delighted the audience with her personal experiences of her mother’s kitchen and the activities that took place there. She had a rapt audience and Joy’s stories of the past evoked memories in others of past kitchen events. The society thanks Baker’s Delight Hastings, which provided buns and scones for the event. The next Morning Coffee will be a collectables and antiques appraisal on Thursday 9 August. For details contact vice-president Shirley Davies on 9781 1141. Werner compressor FURTHER information is sought on the Werner compressor that is on display under cover at Jack Babington Park, Marine Pde, Hastings. The Werner has been exhibited in this park for more than 40 years. Shortly after construction of Somerville Cool Store in 1918, the compressor was supplied and installed to drive

the refrigeration unit. It was originally powered by an Acon gas engine until it was converted to electricity in 1930 and an Asea electric motor was imported from Sweden. This enabled the production of 25 tons of ice a day. The compressor was used continually for the cold storage of fruit by the orchardists of the Somerville district until 1970 when the cool store ceased operations. The Lions Club of Western Port was responsible for preserving the machinery in recognition of the vital role played by the fruit industry in the lives of the people of the Shire of Hastings. Any information or photos would be gratefully received. Contact Shirley Davies at the Hastings Museum, PO Box 223, Hastings 3915, or call 039781 1141. Hastings’ Armstrong gun ONE of the treasures of the Hastings Museum is the 40-pounder Armstrong gun that is exhibited in the main museum. The gun, No. 272, was at Hastings from 1889 to 1904 when it was moved out of the area. The location of the gun was unknown until 1981 when Tyabb historians Valda and Harry Cole found it in the Colac Botanic Gardens. After negotiations, it was donated by the council to the society on the condition that it be restored. The Armstrong came back to Hastings on 23 December 1987 and the society undertook the immense task of restoring it.

Heavy hitter: Top, The Ham and Beef Battery at Hastings in 1895 with the Armstrong 40-pounder. Right, another Armstrong. The colony of Victoria received six Armstrong RBL 40 pounders in 1865. They were mainly used as mobile coast fortification guns and later as field guns. Three survive – at Hastings, Fort Queenscliff and in Como Park, South Yarra.

It was officially unveiled at Hastings on 24 April 1994 with officials from the Shire of Colac. Hastings Museum is open on Sundays from 2-4 pm and on Wednesday mornings from 10-midday. Gold coin admittance fee. Groups can arrange special visits by call president, David Mason, on 5977 5786.

HISTORY

Tyabb’s pioneering McKirdys By Peter McCullough TWENTY years ago this Easter, the McKirdy family held a reunion in the Tyabb Hall. In attendance were the three McKirdy brothers Alick, Colin and Frank who were all in their 90s. They were members of the family that owned “Cumbrae” on McKirdys Rd, which extended to Western Port. “Cumbrae” was named after Scotland’s most accessible island in the Firth of Clyde, only a short distance from the mainland. The grandfather of the three brothers, Alexander Stewart McKirdy, emigrated from Scotland in 1856 and bought “Cumbrae” in 1888 after having worked in the Tyabb-Somerville area for a number of years. During his time at “Cumbrae”, he planted apple, pear and stone fruit orchards. Most of these fruit trees were still in production when his son James T McKirdy and his wife Mary and family lived at “Cumbrae”, which was sold in 1916. Seven years prior to a McKirdy reunion in 1992, the three brothers had attended a “Back to Tyabb” event. To mark the occasion, Frank, the youngest brother, recorded his recollections in a manuscript entitled Awakening Memories. This is an abridged version: The greater part of the mixed farming property “Cumbrae”, occupied by our parents and which bordered on Western Port Bay, was timbered with scattered species of eucalypts (chiefly peppermints), acacia, large areas of scrub, and – near the marshes along the bay – much dense teatree. This natural vegetation was common to all

those holdings abutting Western Port Bay, as then owned by the Denhams, Morrisons, Philbricks, Holliers, Vanns, and several other Tyabb families. In those early days, clearing of the land for any form of cropping entailed much hard labour, which was not only hard work, but was costly and timeconsuming. The cultivation of the land was carried out in primitive fashion with horse-drawn implements followed by the workman on foot. And then there was the rabbit pest, which, at times, reached plague proportions, and caused considerable destruction after areas were planted with vegetables and young fruit trees.

Western Port News 22 May 2012

Even established, productive apple and pear trees were sometimes damaged by the rabbits gnawing and ring-barking the trunks. For protection against these losses, good fences with rabbit-proof netting were required, but for complete control, fencing of this type around all boundaries of a large holding like “Cumbrae” would not only be uneconomic, but would necessitate destruction of the entire rabbit population within the property. Experience had told farmers that rabbits can multiply at an incredible rate, and that the best means of reducing their numbers was by widespread poisoning. This was usually carried out by placing toxic baits in furrows

made by the plough in paddocks where rabbits were known to come out from their burrows at night. Added to the other work involved in running a farming property where the operations included fruit and vegetable growing, a nursery for the propagation of fruit trees, plus cropping and grazing, then control of the rabbit pest in those days became increasingly difficult. The old home property is now [1985] barely recognisable. During a recent visit to “Cumbrae” it appeared deceptively quiet and free from human activity of any kind. However livestock, mostly cattle (not rabbits), was seen grazing con-

tentedly over a wide area of cleared land, now under natural and improved pastures, from which all fruit trees, native trees, scrub and bracken fern had been removed. It presented a striking contrast to the “Cumbrae” we knew in 1916 when the property was sold on the open market. Quite a deal of what has been said about the McKirdy property now applies to many neighbouring farm properties formerly held by Thornells, Denhams, Nobles, Borleys, Grants, Youngs and others. They have all taken on a new appearance following the removal of previous structural improvements and most of the large insignis pine trees that were planted on farm boundaries and parts of home sites. These stately old trees vanished when their timber became valuable for the manufacture of fruit cases and for other uses. My brothers Alick and Colin, being older than me, can recall more about the early happenings at school, which initially took place in the old Tyabb Hall before the new school (No. 3544) on The Crescent was opened in 1913.

We remember the interest and excitement shown by all the kids when we first saw a motorcar pass the hall, being driven by a local. Another novelty in those days was the pushbike, which attracted much attention when Sam Chalwell was seen with one in the hall grounds and where several other children were seeking a ride. Later some of us had our own bikes. My brother Alick particularly remembers, as a teenager, being in a bike race at the Tyabb Recreation Reserve. After several laps around the oval Alick was competing pretty well when he had a nasty spill, which not only put him out of the race, but disturbed some of the other riders who were hoping to take the prize. Brother Colin could also tell you of an embarrassing experience we both shared as schoolboys when we were nearly caught for pinching loquats from Dick Greinke’s orchard on the Tyabb-Tooradin Rd opposite the end of The Crescent. After spotting us in the act of thieving, Dick chased us towards John Thornell’s property, where we took cover in a patch of dense teatree. Dick might have caught us if he had not been checked by partly hidden barbed wire from an old fence, which, luckily, we avoided in our hurried getaway. Tyabb Railway Primary School is opposite the property formerly held by Cliff Cole and where I was employed for a while, mainly in the nursery where many varieties of fruit trees were raised for the trade. It was at this school that the startling news of the outbreak of war was brought to our attention. A copy of The Age newspaper was shown to us by a teacher, Russ Hanby, and caused immediate alarm to both teachers and pupils alike when we read in extaordinarily bold type: England Declares War on Germany. A game of football was in progress at the time but, needless to say, this was interrupted and came to an end shortly afterwards. The school ground was also a vantage point from which to see the progress of work carried out by George Denham who was building a new house for Graham Cole, a job that started just before the declaration of war in 1914. It was an important occasion when the new school was opened and parents and citizens turned up from many parts of the district. Not all of those who attended on opening day were in favour of the site chosen for the school for reasons unknown to us kids. Another Tyabb school (No. 3199), then called “the Top School” and situated on the corner of Jones and Mornington roads, had been in existence since 1891 before some of us began our schooling at Tyabb Hall. From “Cumbrae” the daily walk to the hall was 2.5 to 3 kilometres, usu-

ally through John Thornell’s and Bill Noble’s properties, which were then in full production with plantings of different kinds of fruit trees. Occasionally, when going home from school, we were invited by John to sample his home-brewed cider, made from his Reinette du Canada variety of apples grown near the house. The cider was stored in casks in the shed. John was often heard to say to his visitors, both young and old, “Try a little; it won’t hurt you”. We responded with some reservations as we never really appreciated the cider. At the hall our regular teacher was Miss Audley, who was noted for her strict manner of teaching and disciplinary conduct in all that she undertook in the interests of the children. She was a teacher who won the respect of all of us, and had a lot to put up with at times when certain kids became a bit unruly. There was the incident in which Arnold Noble was involved on the day when a prize, donated by Mrs Borley, was awarded to the pupil – boy or girl – who received best marks over a given period for a specified number of subjects. On a points score Arnold was the winner, having scored the highest marks. He was disqualified, however, for misbehaving in school earlier that day, when admonished by Miss Audley for some minor indiscretion. The prize of 5 shillings went to the boy who received second-highest marks! This was regarded as an unfortunate decision by some of Arnold’s mates, in that he was recognised as a studious and likeable lad, worthy of the prize, they thought, on his general merits, as known to the Tyabb community. While still a schoolboy he contributed items of news from time to time to a local newspaper.

Other teachers whose names are recalled included Miss Carver, Tom White, and the music teacher, Mr George. Music lessons were mostly for vocal items to be sung in chorus or by individual pupils who were given special tuition by Mr George when a school concert was to be held. The program was generally interspersed with humorous numbers and

on one occasion Lily Slocombe and I had the main roles in a comic duet that was written by Mr George himself. Among the joys of life when we lived at “Cumbrae” were sea bathing, fishing and boating in Western Port Bay. Bathing was best during the summer months when the tide was in and the water was deep at sandy spots along the beach. When the tide was

out a long walk over mud flats was necessary to reach the water’s edge, where conditions were against an enjoyable swim. For boating and fishing we usually depended on Sid Thornell who owned the boat that took us to the spots where we expected fish to be caught. Mostly we caught flathead and a few snapper and garfish.

The oboe and I – a short-lived affair By Stuart McCullough THE world is full of instruments. There are surgical instruments, instruments in the cockpit of an aeroplane and instruments of the state. Then there is the oboe. I hesitate to call it a musical instrument, because I never once succeeded in coaxing anything from it that sounded remotely like music. It was more akin to an instrument of destruction. I was a piano player pretty much from birth. Lessons on the pianola were compulsory much in the same way that brushing your teeth is beyond debate and I accepted them without question. For a short time I went to a school where playing a single instrument was not considered to be accomplishment enough and students were compelled to choose a second, less interesting instrument to which they were expected to devote themselves. This created something of a dilemma as I had never really wanted to play anything but the piano. Forced to choose, I foolishly decided to ask the head of the music department for his advice. Without hesitation he nominated the oboe.

He explained that it was an instrument that was coming into fashion and that even the guy from Icehouse played the oboe. This was no help to me whatsoever. All the cool kids played percussion. Strictly speaking, by playing piano I was already one of them. That’s because the piano is technically a percussion instrument, much as Kim Kardashian is technically a celebrity or Madonna is technically an author of children’s literature. They would gather out the front of the music building, debating paradiddles and the comparative merits of various

wrist techniques as they twirled drumsticks between their fingers before a savage round of air drums. There was no way I’d ever be able to twirl a two-tonne upright piano between my fingers. And nobody, nobody plays air piano. Just as Pinocchio longed to be a real boy, I longed to be a real percussionist. For it was as clear to me then as now that percussion was the choice of champions. I longed to join the cool kids and start playing drums. But instead of drums, I got lumbered with the oboe. I very much doubt that this sugges-

tion was prompted by a chronic shortage of oboe players as it probably was an oversupply of the instrument itself. I now suspect that somewhere within the school there was a room stuffed to the gills with the things. Perhaps they had a vacant slot in the school orchestra. Little did the teacher realise that my near-pathological resistance to reading musical notation and insistence that nearly all songs should be improvised meant that I would never be a suitable candidate for ensemble playing. In truth, I didn’t even know what an oboe was. Had one wandered up to me in the street, I’d have been none the wiser. When I was finally presented with a small, black case, I was immediately disappointed. It looked like an extra large makeup bag. At least with the string instruments, you had the comfort of knowing that someone might mistake you for a gangster. There was no such risk with the oboe case. The most that could happen was that someone might think you were about to reapply lipstick. My sense of disappointment only deepened when I exam-

ined the contents of the case. The kindest description I could give it was “not a clarinet”. In fact, I described it this way to my parents, brothers and sisters and anyone else who caught a glimpse of its hideous visage. Worst of all, the oboe was a reed instrument. The beauty of a piano is that you can walk up to it and just start playing. Same goes for a guitar. Actually, it’s true of every kind of instrument except those using a reed. Before playing, you had to soak the reed in your mouth for a period of up to 10 minutes. I hated it. The process of preparing the reed was akin to sucking a thumb for 10 long minutes, except it was somebody else’s thumb. I doubt I ever went the distance. When it came time to kick out the jams, things turned from bad too worse to downright horrifying. It didn’t so much as produce a musical note as a bleat. It was the kind of noise you’d expect if you were to kick an alpaca. (Which, of course, you should never do; even if the alpaca throws the first punch.) Oftentimes, I would be rehearsing and my father would

burst into the room, rake above his head, ready to leap to the defence of whatever helpless creature was being tortured in my room. It would then fall to me to explain that the only creature being tortured was me. My brothers and sisters might well have disagreed. Soon, the oboe and I were no longer speaking to each other. The object sat for weeks on end in its black case under the far end of my bed, often catching my eye as I entered the room. I always looked the other way. At the first opportunity, I returned it to the school. Puzzled, the head of the music department asked why. I gave the only answer I could and cited “musical differences”. I was then asked whether I would like to try my hand at percussion. I declined, telling him that, as a piano player, I was already a percussionist. When he looked confused, I emphasised the point by giving him a quick burst of air piano. He agreed that I should be allowed to forsake a second instrument. This, at least, was music to my ears. www.stuartmccullough.com

Blues’ hard win, Crib falls to rampant Rye By Toe Punt HASTINGS was made to work extremely hard to get the four points against a persistent Pearcedale in MPNFL Nepean Division football on Saturday. At half-time, the Blues trailed by 14 points, before kicking 10 goals to five after the major interval to record a 16.19-115 to 14.12-96 victory. On Saturday at Tractor Park, it wasn’t the Blues playing badly but the Panthers playing with enormous spirit. Pearcedale unleashed a new recruit in Gavin Becker, who gave the abundance of midfielders someone to kick to in the forward line. Recruited from the Hampden League, Becker finished with five goals and best afield Chris Fortnam also finished with five. The Panthers dominated the first half. Matty White was providing wonderful drive from half-back, Craig Herbert and Byron Hoe were dominant, and the experience of Fortnam and Tony Lester was a handful for the Blues. Aaron Pike and Adam Jago worked hard in the middle to try and get things going for the Blues, but couldn’t get the normal run and drive of recent times. Fortunately for the visitors, they were able to turn things around in the third quarter. Grant Masterson showed glimpses of his best and finished with three goals, Matty Robbins started to become dangerous in attack, booting three, and Brad Arnold and Troy Glass provided running speed and class for the Blues. The result was a five goal to one third quarter and a 12-point lead at the final change for Hastings.

Glenn Michie, Steven Hull, Kyle Pinto and Arnold all got among the goals for the Blues, each kicking two. It ended a fantastic week for Blues coach Michie. He and his wife Amanda celebrated the birth of Oakley John, a brother for Madeline. Michie told The News Amanda had organised the birth for the middle of the week to “ensure that it didn’t affect footy on Saturday”. Crib Point couldn’t stop Rye fullforward Justin Van Unen on Saturday; he kicked 11 goals and helped the visitors to a 50-point victory, 22.6-138 to 13.10-88. In an amazing last quarter, Rye went from being four points down to boot 11 goals to two in 30 minutes to completely crush the Pies. The game had been reasonably tight for the first three quarters. The Demons led by six points at quarter time and 16 points at half-time, before Crib Point jumped out of the blocks in the third and kicked five goals to two to lead by four points at the last change. The Pies had the momentum. Jon Flack was causing major headaches for the Demons, finishing with five goals, Matt Jackson was getting plenty of the pill and Shayne Ainsworth and Dan Wise were dominating. No one could see what was going to happen in the last term. While Van Unen was kicking yet another bag, giving him 46 goals in six games, Andrew Dean also kicked four and Leigh Morse three. Rhett Sutton was back on top of his game after being beaten last week, and Billy Kerr and Sean Cain provided plenty of run and drive.

Western Port News 22 May 2012

Amazingly, of the 42 players who took the field on Saturday, almost half played with family members. For Rye, there were two Kirkwoods (Jarryd and Adam), two Kerrs (Bill and Jack), two Cains (Ben and Sean) and three Dunns (Cameron, Andrew and Matthew). For Crib Point, there were four Cooks (James, David, Tim and Jacob). Frankston Bombers’ season is back on track, taking its second big scalp in as many weeks in Rosebud. In a tight and low-scoring contest, the Bombers led all afternoon to win 11.7-73 to 8.11-59. It was the youngsters who again shone for the Bombers, with Daniel Elliott, Michael Maiorino (two goals) and Ben Simmons leading from the front and showing tremendous maturity. For the second week in a row, Shawn Wilkey did a shut down job and took the dangerous Ryan Spooner out of the game. Hayden Moore was superb in the ruck and stopped the influence of Paul Lewis, while Brian O’Carroll was back to his best, playing in dangerous positions and even kicking a goal. Nathan Lonie, Jay Reynolds and Brad Wakeling all kicked multiple goals for the Bombers. At three-quarter time, just three points separated the sides. The margin was seven points at half-time. Ben Shultz was the only multiple goalkicker for the Buds with three, while Lachy Armstrong and Sam Krumeich were the side’s best players. Cade Egan continued his outstanding run at half-back and Daniel Giarusso

was a welcome addition to the team. Five goals to three in the final quarter was enough to hand Frankston Bombers its third win of the season. The loss saw Rosebud drop from second to fifth, while the Bombers still sit just outside the top five (seventh) on percentage. Dromana bounced back from a nailbiting defeat by the Bombers, handing out an 83-point smacking of Tyabb. After a tight first quarter at Pier St Oval, the Tigers and Yabbies booted nine goals between them and the difference was just nine points at the first change. At half-time, the margin was eight points. There was no way Tyabb was going to be able to sustain the onslaught. The game was being played at a rapid pace with 16 goals in the opening hour. The Tigers snagged seven goals to two points in the third and another seven goals to 2.5 in the last to record an easy 22.22-154 to 10.11-71 victory. Again, the spread of Dromana goals was impressive with 10 goalkickers, Steven Gaertner booting four and Ryan Hawkins, Jed Savage and Anthony Bruhn three each. Terry Wheeler and Liam Hogan were welcome additions and Jarrad Wood and Jay Hutchison continued their outstanding form. Matt Dimkos willed his teammates along for the Yabbies while Johnny Alexander, Robbie Beswick, Ethan Rahilly and Ryan Jones also worked tirelessly. Sorrento again did what it needed to win without setting the world on fire against Red Hill.

Still missing some stars including Ben McCormack, Ben Schwarze and Brent Kenyon, the Sharks set up the victory with a five goal to two first term. At home, a three-goal break for Sorrento is rarely challenged. The 16.15-111 to 9.6-60 win has given the Sharks a two-game buffer at the top of the table. On Saturday, Leigh Poholke was again outstanding with six goals, while Tyrren Head finished with three. Leigh Treeby, Cayden Beetham and Josh Moore dominated in the middle and Mitch Nibbs and Dion Phillips provided plenty of run and drive from half-back. The Sharks never blew Red Hill away, but kept accumulating goals to extend the margin at every change. Joe Krieger and Josh Mold (two goals) were two of the best for the Hillmen, while Daniel McNamara and Chris Farmer also played well. Ben Crowe booted six goals to be best on ground for Somerville on Saturday in its 15.12-102 to 10.14-74 win against Devon Meadows. The Eagles set up the win with a seven goal to one second term, opening up a 51-point lead. Crowe snagged six, Glenn Boyd three and Justin Allsop and Jedd Sutton kicked a couple each. Ben Sedgewick continued his brilliant form in the backline for the Eagles, and Jon Edwards and Chris King were also at their best. Daniel Velardo was restricted to two goals for the Panthers, while Callum O’Hare, Ash Adams, Lucas Carroll and Pat Boland won votes.

Bulls strong-arm Redlegs as YCW thump Dogs By Toe Punt KARINGAL showed tremendous character, poise and endeavour to overcome a disastrous start and defeat Mt Eliza in MPNFL Peninsula Division football on Saturday. The Bulls found themselves 26 points down in the very early stages of the clash, before rebounding and going on to win 11.12-78 to 8.10-58. Karingal was missing key players, including Michael Burke, Duncan Proud, Allan Williams, Tim Hirst and Brock Osborne. Mt Eliza booted the first four goals in the opening 10 minutes and the game looked like it could be over at quarter time. Sam Lloyd booted three and Scott Lockwood received a 50-metre penalty and kicked the fourth. The dominance the Redlegs had shown over the previous four weeks was continuing and Karingal didn’t have any answers. Karingal needed to make a couple of key changes and the bench responded in the nick of time. Coach Brendan Dunne went to the dangerous Lloyd and Justin Peckett was swung into the centre. Karingal players just couldn’t get their hands on the footy, despite the fact Grant Goodall was giving them first use in the ruck. The Bulls worked their way back into the game and Matt Jacobi slotted their first midway through the term. Anthony Joel booted their second with a left foot snap from the boundary and all of a sudden it was game on.

At quarter time, the Redlegs led by 17 points, but for the next hour, Karingal dominated. The pace and spread of the Bulls was too much for the opposition to manage and Mt Eliza couldn’t handle the tremendous pressure of the Karingal midfielders and defence. This caused frustration for the Redlegs and the result was two 50m penalties and goals. Steve Charalambous and Bryce Kellerman were providing plenty of run on the wings, Dunne had Lloyd covered (although he did finish with six goals), and Luke Van Raay shut down Lockwood. Aaron Paxton, James Tyquinn and best afield Troy Hoad dominated across half-back. Jacobi, Peckett and Bevan Malloy won ball at ground level and Chris Hay and Dan Noble provided solid targets in attack. By midway through the third quarter, Mt Eliza looked spent. Sam Gill at half-back, Josh Norman through the middle, James Anwyl in defence and Dan Gormley were the Redlegs’ best. Lloyd had 12 possessions in the first quarter but only another six for the match. As expected, Mt Eliza did come back hard in the last quarter and got within six points, but the Bulls rallied and recorded a comfortable 20-point victory. There were a couple of obvious problems for Mt Eliza, which we hadn’t seen before. They lack genuine pace through the middle. Ben Lean and Sam Lloyd were obvious rotations through the centre but weren’t used.

The Redlegs didn’t deal with pressure well. Against a Karingal and especially Frankston YCW, if you don’t manage pressure, you’re going to get beaten. After the match, Karingal coach Brendan Dunne was very proud of his team. “I thought we showed a lot of grit and character today,” Dunne said. “It wasn’t an ideal start, but to work our way back into the game was very pleasing. “I couldn’t have been happier with the guys that come into the side [Joel, Jacobi, Jack Johnson, Martinson]. They all made a contribution. “I know we’ve got some talent to come back, but how do you drop the guys who did the job for us today? “Today, we showed our depth and this should give us great confidence as well as keep us on our toes; if we’re not playing well, someone is going to take our spot.” Chelsea trailed all afternoon against Bonbeach, but came back in the final quarter and won by a point. Bonbeach booted five goals to four in the opening quarter and led by 15 points at half-time. Paul Rebeschini has been in wonderful form for the Sharks and was best on ground. He, skipper Daniel Smith and Mark Tyrrell stopped Chelsea getting the footy. At three-quarter time, with Dale Donkin and Anthony Raso booting three and Owen Hulett four majors for the visitors, the Sharks had opened up what appeared to be a match-winning break. Chelsea was always going to come

home strongly and needed a matchwinner. This was Anthony Lewis, who booted three goals and brought a number of others into the game. Luke Damon finished with five while Sam Carpenter and Dean Gentle worked tirelessly. In a thrilling final minute, the Seagulls finished a point in front, 13.583 to 12.10-82. For three and a bit quarters, Stevey Capp’s Bonbeach was a better side, but they walked away empty handed. Mornington’s nightmares against the best teams continued on Saturday, smacked by Frankston YCW by 124 points. The Stonecats booted 12 goals to five in the opening half before snagging 15 goals to four in the second hour, finishing with a staggering 48 scoring shots to 14. The final score was 27.21183 to 9.5-59. The reigning premiers had 10 goalkickers, Ben Tellis, Michael Chaplin and Ricky Morris each kicking five goals and Lew Roberts four. Byron and Anthony Barry dominated across half-back and Ash Eames continued his league medal favouritism with another dominant ruck display. Scott Matthews flew the flag for the Doggies and Peter Bain and Jackson Calder were also among the home team’s best. Seaford grabbed fifth place on Saturday, smashing Langwarrin by 84 points. With Chris Irving now a permanent fixture in the Seaford side and Damian Lawrence in the team on Saturday, the Tigers were red hot favourites.

Before Irving’s return, fifth place was the only spot on the ladder up for grabs with YCW, Karingal, Chelsea and Mt Eliza having claims on the top four. But Irving has ensured the Tigers will play finals footy. On Saturday, other than a slow second quarter, the Tigers dominated. They booted 14 goals to two after half-time, Michael Kraska finishing with five and Dylan Sloan, Tommy Shaw and Brayden Irving three each. Along with Josh Stokes, Brayden Irving was close to best on ground. Andrew Taylor and Andrew Withers worked tirelessly for the Kangas while Aaron Shaw was the major contributor up front with two goals. Edithvale-Aspendale won its first game of the season, travelling to Pines. Aaron Martello is a player we haven’t seen representing the Eagles for a number of years, but he rolled out on Saturday and booted three majors, while Brett Bowden and Timmy Mannix each kicked one. Tim Mavric and Brad Tagg were outstanding for the winners while Mark Mullins and Jeremy Heys were solid contributors. The Pythons led at quarter time and half-time, but trailed by 17 points at three-quarter time. The Eagles dominated the third quarter but could only manage 4.10 to 1.3 on the scoreboard. Guy Hendry booted three goals to be Pines’ best, while Adam Maling, Shaun White and Jake Prosser also worked hard for the Pythons.

Juniors take to the ’G HASTINGS Auskick Centre players had the experience of a lifetime on 5 May when 11 boys and one girl play at half-time on the MCG in front of 43,000 fans at the St Kilda–Hawthorn game. They arrived at 5.30pm and were taken to the members’ area and their seats. All the children were so excited and you could also see the nerves on their faces when they realised how many people were going to be watching them. The second quarter of the main game came and it was time to head down to the rooms to change. Auskick provided players with a jumper, shorts and socks and they had to supply their own boots. Soon it was half-time and we were all lined up on the side to watch our little footy players take to the field. What an emotional roller coaster – so proud but so scared for the little kids. The whistle was blown and the game started. They were into it in a blink of an eye; what an adrenalin rush. With parents yelling from the side-

lines – kick the ball, run faster, kick a goal, mark it – we wondered if they could even hear us. Later we found they heard not a word from mums and dads. The siren went and the kids are suppose to leave the field, but they kept playing until the umpire grabbed the ball and told them it was over. The kids walked around to the exit gate about 20 metres away and were high-fiving the crowd. The smiles on their faces were priceless. They were red-faced, hot and with an appetite for a lot of food from a hard game of footy; most wanted to go back the next week to do it all again. Hastings Auskick Centre takes enrolments each week and sessions run on Fridays from 5-6pm at Hastings Football Club, 155 Marine Pde. Details: Andrew, 0431 516 044.

Dales prevail HASTINGS and Pearcedale A Grade netballers drew good support last Friday night when they played indoors at the Pearcedale Primary School, with the Dales prevailing 60-30. The last two Friday night games have drawn great support from the football players with good numbers making their way to each venue to enjoy netball action. “It’s very hard for both sides to watch football and netball on Saturday when games are on and overlap. With the Friday night games the girls get to watch full matches on the Saturday. The netball girls have appreciated the support during the two night games so far,” a club spokesperson said.

Cats and Dogs fight, Tigers take on Hawks at ’G Round 9 Previews Friday 25 May Western Bulldogs v Geelong, Etihad Stadium, 7.50pm In a battle of cats and dogs, the Bulldogs play for three wins in a row and the Cats play for their season. On the weekend the Bulldogs had a sloppy win against the Suns in Darwin. The Dogs never really hit their straps until the second half of the third term when they put the game to bed. Young guns Mitch Wallis and Tom Liberatore were good for the Dogs, but again they couldn’t find a permanent forward target. The Cats failed to take advantage of last quarter opportunities and lost to the Pies. Geelong kicked 4.6 as they came at Collingwood, which had one player left on the bench, but the Cats weren’t able to shut down the likes of Pendlebury and Sidebottom. Geelong is a good team and won’t let the result worry them. Geelong by 35 points. Saturday 26 May Richmond v Hawthorn, MCG, 1.45pm In a blockbuster at the ’G the Tigers look to bounce back after their Dreamtime game defeat and the Hawks look to increase momentum

as they climb up the ladder. On the weekend Richmond came from behind to nearly steal the game from Essendon. Brett Deledio and Trent Cotchin had good games, but Shaun Grigg stepped up and is now an elite player. The Hawks started slowly against Fremantle but it only lasted for one quarter until the floodgates opened and they ended up winning by 56 points. Richmond needs to win this game to keep within reach of the eight and that means their forward line will have to lift, but I can’t see Hawthorn dropping this one. Hawthorn by 24 points. Gold Coast v Port Adelaide, Metricon Stadium, 2.10pm The Suns return home this week still without a win and face a high-spirited Port Adelaide team. The Suns played an okay game in a low-scoring first half against the Dogs, but only kicked two goals after half-time. Season 2011 leading goalkicker Danny Stanley played his first game for the season and had an impact. The Power came back from the dead to defeat North Melbourne. Port was 32 points down with 11 minutes to play and slammed on five unanswered goals to steal the poinjts. Jay Schulz kicked seven straight and Danyle Pearce was outstanding with 30 touches. This is a game both sides will expect to win, but the Suns are well overdue. Gold Coast by 5 points. St Kilda v Sydney, Etihad Stadium, 4.40pm In a twilight clash at Etihad, the Saints

look to jump back in the eight and the Swans aim to retain a top four spot. The Saints played a patchy match in the west; at half-time they were dead and buried but a six-goal third term got them back in the game before they lost it in the last. Across the other side of the country it was the Swans giving Melbourne a football lesson in a 101-point thrashing. Not only were the Swans midfielders winning the ball, but also they were kicking goals with Jack, Kennedy and Parker snagging three each. This will be a tight game but the Swans are a class above. Sydney by 20 points.

In the game of the round, both sides go in with five wins on the trot. The Crows breezed past top four side Carlton on Sunday. The midfield of Dangerfield, Thompson and Sloane overwhelmed their opponents. Collingwood got a long sought-after win against the Cats. Scott Pendlebury was outstanding with 30 disposals and four goals. This is an interesting game as the Crows have been in better form than the Pies but Collingwood has won its last six games in SA and its last four against Adelaide. The Crows have been dominating sides and look more ferocious than Collingwood. Adelaide by 4 points.

GWS Giants v Essendon, Skoda Stadium, 7.40pm In the inaugural match at Skoda Stadium in the Sydney Olympic Games complex, the Giants look to show off their new facilities to league heavyweight Essendon. The Giants were flogged by Brisbane by 92 points on the weekend; poor first and last quarters cost them dearly. One positive was the debut of premium recruit Matt Buntine. The Bombers got up in an epic encounter against Richmond after appearing to have the game wrapped up. Brent Stanton continued to dominate with another 28 possession plus game. The Giants don’t have a chance of winning and it will be interesting to see if Essendon rest players. Essendon by 69 points.

Sunday 27 May North Melbourne v Brisbane, Etihad Stadium, 1.10pm The Kangaroos’ season has gone from bad to worse after giving away a 32-point lead to Port Adelaide. In the last 10 minutes North Melbourne literally stopped, the defence allowed five unanswered goals and Michael Firrito messed up a tackle that cost them the game. The Lions had a walk in the park against the Giants, winning by 92 points. Defender Daniel Merrett was a focal point kicking seven goals, five in the first quarter. For this game I think you need to disregard recent form. North Melbourne is a much better side than results show and they just have to win. North Melbourne by 18 points.

West Coast v Fremantle, Patersons Stadium, 4.40pm In the first WA derby of the year, the Eagles look to maintain top spot and the Dockers look to stay in the eight. The Eagles had a pretty routine win at home against the Saints. They were challenged in the third quarter and showed poise to rebound and win comfortably. The Dockers had a disappointing loss in Tasmania against Hawthorn. The Ross Lyon game plan worked for the first quarter but there was little joy afterwards. Last time these teams met it was a thriller with West Coast winning by one point. I’ll say it again: the Eagles won’t lose at home this year. West Coast by 35 points.

Adelaide v Collingwood, AAMI Stadium, 7.40pm

Carlton v Melbourne, MCG, 3.10pm

Twitter: FootballTragic9 Total tips: 55

This is a game between two out of form teams but out of form would be a compliment for Melbourne at the moment. The Blues squandered another opportunity to match it with the best when they were smashed by Adelaide. In a fierce collision, marquee midfielder Marc Murphy injured his shoulder and will miss a few weeks. The Dees had another horror loss, this time at the hands of the Swans. Jack Watts was the only positive with 30 plus disposals across half-back. This is a dark period for Melbourne; another massive loss would be a deadly blow on and off the field. Carlton by 87 points.
