House makes mums centre of attention WHAT happens when a group of mums get together at Wallaroo Community House? Why, lots of fun, pampering and friendship, of course. Wallaroo Community House – run by Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand, at 6 Wallaroo Place, Hastings - hosted Monday’s activities which had the needs of women in mind. Acknowledging and empowering women is high on Good Shepherd’s agenda. “There is no better time of the year to come together over a cuppa and a cupcake and spoil a mother or two, to say ‘thank you’ for everything that they do,” Wallaroo coordinator Melissa Rigby said. She thanked all the mums who joined in the day’s activities. Corporate sponsorship and donations from many Hastings traders and small businesses was also a big help, especially Peninsula Health. “Thanks to all for this wonderful community support,” she said. “We had a great mums’ day.” To hear more about Wallaroo Community House, pop in for a cuppa or call 5970 7000.

Height concerns over retirement plan Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE size of a proposed retirement village at Somerville is concerning nearby residents and a Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor. The development, at 16 Graf Rd, Somerville, is for a 223-bed facility of between two and three storeys in 11

separate buildings. The shire advertised the notice of application last week and it is expected to go before council next month. Objectors claim the proposal is not in keeping with the character of the town; that its height will be visually overpowering and that infrastructure, such as roads and drainage, will not be able to cope with the extra demand.

Cr Lynn Bowden said she was “concerned about the height of the proposal” and that she “was taking steps to ensure consideration of the proposal comes before the full council and not just the officers”. The three storey buildings are proposed on the highest parts of the 3.2 hectare site, which has a 105 metre frontage to Graf Rd and 109 metres to

Eramosa Rd. It is on the western edge of the town’s commercial activity centre. “Somerville’s nature is a singlestorey rural town,” Cr Bowden said. “There’s very little multi-storey development here and, while we may need another retirement village, it has got to fit in with the town’s character.” She said other retirement villages on the peninsula were all single storey. “If

you put three storeys here then all of downtown can go to three storeys – and how many rural towns have three storey buildings?. It’s not a major activity.” Cr Bowden said the height of some of the buildings and their elevation would make them higher than the Centro shopping centre. “They’ll overlook the whole town.” Continued Page 6

Child injured at shire health centre Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire says it has removed potential hazards from its 17 Maternal and Child Health centres after an eight-month-old child was hospitalised with a head injury sustained at one of the centres. On Friday, the shire confirmed an anonymous report received by The News that the child had been injured in an incident involving a wall heater.

The report claimed the child had been severely burnt but shire communications manager Todd Trimble said this was incorrect. “The child was not ‘severely burnt’, but rather sustained an impact injury to the head as a result of a heater grate landing on them. The heater was not on at the time,” he said. The report claimed the child was alone in a room but Mr Trimble said this was incorrect. “The child was on the floor next to the mother who was

talking with a Maternal and Child Health nurse.” The shire’s acting director of sustainable communities, Robin Adams, said it was “the first time an incident of this nature has occurred”. “The Maternal and Child Health team take health and safety very seriously. Staff members acted promptly to render first aid and continued to support the family in the following days. The infant has made a complete recovery,” he said.

“The shire’s infrastructure team immediately completed a sweep of all Maternal and Child Health centres to remove any similar risks to ensure such an incident does not occur again. “The family has met with council officers; they are continuing to use the service and there has been no indication that they will be taking the matter further.” Mr Adams said that about 10,000 children up to age six were enrolled in the shire’s Maternal and Child Health program. “The program completes

about 18,000 consultations a year from 17 service locations.” The News understands the child received minor plastic surgery on the scalp after sustaining a minor fracture. It is believed the child pulled the grate away from the heater but the shire refused to confirm this. The shire also would not say if it was required by law to report the incident to WorkSafe or other state government authorities. Nor would it say explicitly if it offered to pay all medical expenses.

Childhood dream closer to reality

Jet dreaming: Jaryd Wetzel receives his scholarship from Carolyn Munckton, of Equity Trustees.

SOMERVILLE student Jaryd Wetzel’s ambition to fly F-35s for the RAAF have been lifted with a Sir Reginald Ansett Scholarship for Aviation at Swinburne University. The scholarship, established to honour the legacy of the aviation pioneer who lived in Mt Eliza, is worth $30,000 over three years and is awarded each year to a student studying for a Bachelor of Aviation degree. “Winning the scholarship removes the financial stress so I can focus on my flying and give it my very best,” Mr Wetzel said. “It gives me the best opportunity for success.” Mr Wetzel’s love of flying started at five when his father took him to watch the planes at Tyabb airport. Later, he started making model planes and to decorate his bedroom with aviation posters. “My father was in the Navy and

interested in becoming a pilot, but didn’t have the same opportunity as my generation. His ship was stationed with an aircraft carrier which had regular flybys of Navy fighters,” Mr Wetzel said. After gaining his VCE at Bayside Christian College, Langwarrin, in 2013, Mr Wetzel had a gap year and worked full time to earn money towards his training. He started his Bachelor of Aviation at Swinburne University of Technology this year. So far, he has logged 60 hours dual and solo in aircraft ranging from Oxford C172s up to the air force’s CT4-B at Tamworth. “Jaryd’s enthusiasm for flying from a young age, as well as his determination to become a pilot, make him a standout choice as the winner of this year's Ansett Aviation scholarship,” Equity Trustees philanthropy general

manager Tabitha Lovett said. “His commitment to work during his VCE and gap year to fund his studies demonstrated impressive focus and drive. We are pleased Sir Reginald’s scholarship will lessen the financial pressure on Jaryd and his family to see him through his studies.” Equity Trustees is trustee of the R M Ansett Trust. The scholarship is awarded to students undertaking the Swinburne University aviation degree who have outstanding academic achievements, show real aptitude for aviation and can demonstrate financial need. The trust was established under Sir Reginald’s will to help children to “take their place in life”. It distributes more than $1 million annually through social equity scholarships at secondary schools and tertiary institutions, and grants to charities supporting children in Victoria.

Another loss for Bomber Command

Local news for local people

WORLD War II survivor Keith Stevens once remarked that he did not get too upset when things went wrong in business, or life, because of the situation he found himself in after being shot down during a night bombing raid over France. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always look back to the time when I was shot down and was sitting under a tree in a foreign country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an enemy occupied country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the language, and I had nothing to eat. I look back at that and think nothing could get as bad as that. Life could never get as bad as that, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way to have a happy life.â&#x20AC;? Mr Stevens, whose remarkable war record was recounted in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A new honour for Bomber Command veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (The News 21/4/15), died on Anzac Day.

His funeral at Rosebud on 6 May was attended by many of the staff and residents of the Village Glen, where he and his wife Anita had lived since 1988. The service reflected the fondness Mr Stevens had formed for France and its people during those dark months in 1944: a bottle of French champagne sat on the coffin and songs by Edith Piaf were played over the sound system. Late in 2014 the French president awarded him the highest level of chevalier (or knight) of the French Legion of Honour for â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś risking your life for the liberation of our country 70 years agoâ&#x20AC;?. The presentation, delayed when he was hospitalised by a fall, took place on Thursday 16 April when the Honorary Consul-General of France

in Melbourne went to the Ti Tree aged care centre in Rosebud. The article featuring Mr Stevens DFM in the special Anzac Day editions of the Mornington Peninsula News Group papers reported that he joined the RAAF in 1940, trained as a wireless operator and rear gunner and subsequently flew 62 operations in a Lancaster with Bomber Command before being shot down over occupied France. Once on the ground, he worked with, and was hidden by, the French Resistance movement before escaping back to England. Of all the stories which have appeared in our newspapers over the past decade, this one has prompted the greatest response from our readers. Peter McCullough

Moorooduc school sole budget winner MOOROODUC Primary School appears to be the sole beneficiary of any direct grant from this month’s state budget. The school’s allocated $1 million will be spent on offices and classrooms. Nepean MP Martin Dixon says the needs of other schools on the Mornington Peninsula have been ignored. “Much needed school upgrades have also been shelved across the peninsula with asbestos related issues being a major concern,” Mr Dixon, Education Minister in the former Coalition government, said. “The last Labor government sat on known asbestos in schools for 11 years and while talking big, are delivering small. “Red Hill Consolidated School is long overdue for a major maintenance upgrade. “While the Coalition [in its election campaign] committed $1.3 million for these works, parents and students have again been ignored by a Labor government and this is a pattern played out within all Liberal held seats.” Mr Dixon said the story was the same for the PenBus service which he said “gives trainees and job seekers access 39 various training providers and educational institutions from Frankston to the CBD”. “PenBus has been funded as a trial service for over two years by the federal government in conjunction with

the Mornington Peninsula Shire but will close if the state government fails to incorporate the service into the Public Transport Victoria (PTV) network,” he said. “I have written to the minister to ask for PenBus to be continued and I am still committed to working with the shire as well as government MPs in the hope that common sense can prevail to ensure this service continues.” Mr Dixon said the Labor government was claiming credit for works at Rosebud Hospital and pier which were “instigated by the Coalition government”. Mornington MP David Morris asked the media to ignore a media release criticising the government for not honouring “their promise of $1,000,000 for Moorooduc Primary School”. “Please disregard this media release, it has come to our attention that they will receive some funding, but how much is unknown,” a second email from his office stated. Meanwhile, the peninsula third MP, fellow Liberal Neale Burgess, attacked the government for not allocating money for the development of a container port at Hastings and its refusal “to provide any funding for additional frontline police in the Western Port area”. “The first budget of the Andrews government is just the same old Labor. It has turned its back on this community again, just as it did when it was last in office,” Mr Burgess said.

Memory tree: Michele Thurstans, in red coat, tends the young Lone Pine watched by Karen Crow, president of Crib Point Cemetery Trust and secretary Clem Kleinig.

Tree honours Anzac memories THE planting of a symbolic Lone Pine Tree at Crib Point Cemetery on Saturday honoured the centenary of Anzac. The cemetery is managed by volunteers of the Crib Point Cemetery Trust and relies on volunteer help to care for the grounds. Trust secretary Clem Kleinig led the ceremony saying: “Today, we think of the mighty Anzacs who served and those who serve today.” Mr Kleinig has strong ties with the community and HMAS Cerberus, having been head groundskeeper for 40 years. When Queen Elizabeth presented the Queen's Colours to Cerberus

in 1986, she also presented Mr Kleinig an OAM for services to the naval training base and the community. Michele Thurstans, of Crib Point, whose father and brother are interred side by side at the cemetery, helped plant the pine, which was grown from the seed of the original Lone Pine. She said her involvement was “unexpected”. “There’s a lot of worthy people in this community that could have been asked. This is an honour.” Mrs Thurstans’ father served in WWII and her brother a private, Colin J Whiston, was killed in action, aged 21, on 18 August 1966. He was the

first fatality of the Battle of Long Tan in Vietnam. “My father was on the Cemetery Trust and I remember spending time helping to keep the grounds neat and mowed,” she said. “It might seem a bit strange to be so involved in something like a cemetery, but to us, being involved is what this community is all about.” Lieutenant Commander Matt Keogh, of HMAS Cerberus, attended the ceremony: “There are many war graves at the Crib Point Cemetery and we honour them all. It’s important our community understand that we value their support and their sacrifice.”

Retirement plans Continued from Page 1 The shire’s sustainable environment director Stephen Chappel said the shire would accept objections until the application was put to the council for a vote. “The proposal has been publicly advertised with signs at the site and we will welcome submissions until the council meeting,” he said. The centrepiece of the complex is heritage-listed homestead Seaton Carew, which would be refurbished and extended to include a hairdresser and florist, administration and medical facilities and a community area. There would be 117 one bedroom and study units and 106 two bedroom units and parking for 279 cars. The development would be built in five stages “in line with market demand”. Applicant CBG Architects said the site “could be defined as a strategic redevelopment site as defined in the shire planning scheme”. It said the retirement village proposal “represents an appropriate development outcome for the site” supported by Clause 16 of the state planning policy framework. Objectors Robert and Lynette Cleary, of Pembroke Drive, Somerville, in a letter to The News said the height and bulk of the units would be “visually overpowering”. “This is something that the whole community needs to be aware of,” they stated. “Also there has not been enough time allowed from receiving notice by mail to share collected information [with other residents] and to discuss implications on the effect it will have on our lifestyle and privacy for the Pembroke Drive and Sandown Court residents. “Would you like to have this type of development overlooking your property?” The couple said they were “happy for a retirement village - but three storeys is a much higher density than currently in town. “It is inappropriate for a rural town. Many of the proposed buildings are on the highest elevation of the land [10 metres] and will dominate the surrounding landscape. It will also set a precedent for future outof-character submissions and is a gross invasion of privacy to adjoining properties.”

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A NAME synonymous with spectacular fireworks displays all over the world has its Victorian base at Balnarring. Howard & Sons Pyrotechnics – one of the country’s best-known fireworks artists and producers – is run locally by master pyrotechnician Rusty Johnson. The designer and programmer uses advanced digital pyrotechnic and musical software to bring his vivid imagination to life. “Our state-of-the-art computer firing system and design software enables our performances to be choreographed with music and all multimedia. As well, the use of special computer firing hardware allows fireworks to be fired from an unlimited number of locations to produce the ultimate extravaganza,” he said. Starting with the Sydney-based firm about 20 years ago, Mr Johnson each year oversees about 100 displays in Victoria and Tasmania. Major events have included the Sydney Olympics and Melbourne Commonwealth Games, as well as a host of New Year’s Eve fireworks displays, Sydney’s Easter Show,

Moomba, Mornington’s Australia Day carnival and the Balnarring festival. “We are able to feature a city’s landmarks - such as waterways, buildings, bridges and architecture - to capture the audience in a pyrotechnic spell, taking them on a magical journey,” he said. Examples include extravagant displays featuring the Sydney Harbour and Westgate bridges. The company not only displays but makes most of its own pyrotechnics. Success at international events includes last month’s win in one of the biggest fireworks competitions in the world – the Da Nang International in Vietnam. Howard’s 21-minute display out-classed those of competitors from South Africa, United States, Poland and the host country, with fireworks lighting up the skies over the Han River. Their ‘Colourful Serpent Symphony’ theme is said to have thrilled spectators with its dazzling fireworks display. “The team’s performance clearly showed off their long experience of designing and manufacturing fireworks, and producing perfectly choreographed shows, along with

the applications of an integrated firing system,” the organisers said. “After gaining third place in 2009 it was very pleasing to come home with the gold this year,” Mr Johnson said. His staff includes two full time pyro-technicians and up to 17 contractors – mostly local – who work with the event management and production teams to ensure every phase of a project results in the best pyrotechnic performance from concept to realisation.

“We are a close knit team,” he said. The Balnarring resident is married to Jennii and they have two children Maddix, 11, and Nyssa, 5. He enjoys fishing on his boat Secret Men’s Business in Western Port, sampling local fine food and wine and has a passion for red Italian motorbikes. The fourth generation firm of Howard & Sons began with Sydney Howard, great-grandfather of the current NSW-based owners, who set up the family business in 1922. Impetus in the early

days came from fireworks displays at the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and the bi-centenary celebrations of Captain Cook landing in Australia. Things did not always go to plan as the sale of fireworks was banned in Australia in the late 1970s and the company, which had depended on retail and wholesale sales of fireworks, began a new focus as a display-only team. This side of the business, quite literally, has gone off with a very big bang.

NEWS DESK Budget errors IN the report ̔Shire rates rise 5.9%’ (5/5/15) funding for some Mornington Peninsula Shire projects was incorrectly stated in millions rather than thousands of dollars. Work at the Emil Madsen Reserve in Mt Eliza will cost $670,000; Hastings activity centre funding is $400,000 and allocations for Rosebud jetty and activity centre will be $850,000. The News apologise if it wildly raised the hopes of people associated with these projects.

Police station delay THE opening of the $16.3 million Somerville police station has been pushed back to July. The building, on the corner of Coolart Rd and Eramosa Rd West, is expected to house the combined crime investigation units of Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud, along with crime scene officers.

Flocking in Skye IT’S that time of the year when caged bird fanciers flock to Skye for Mornington Peninsula Aviculture Society’s annual bird sale and expo, and protesters gear up to oppose it. The show has been running for more than 30 years but recent times have seen animal liberationists vent their displeasure about the whole concept of caged birds. The show starts 9.30am Sunday 31 May at the State Dog Centre, 655 Western Port Hwy, Skye. A society spokesman said all sellers and purchasers have to abide by a strict code of practice. Admittance is $2, children under 8 free of charge. Details www.mpas. webs.com or call 0428 518 646.

Business as usual as offices close – RDNS Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CLIENT services formally provided by nurses at the former Royal District Nursing Service offices at Rosebud and Frankston are now being handled from Moorabbin. The service has given assurances that the change will not affect “service levels”. A revamp of RDNS operations across the state has also led to the loss of 45 full time nursing positions. The RDNS says there were no forced redundancies at Rosebud or Frankston offices, although seven management staff “chose to take redundancies rather than work within the new structure”. Australian Nursing and Midwives Federation Victorian branch secretary Lisa Fitzpatrick said the union had “given our full support to RDNS members who have been affected by the major staffing changes, including redundancies”. “While we cannot give specific redundancy numbers for Rosebud and Frankston, overall the RDNS in Victoria has lost about 23 full time senior nurse positions and 22 full time equivalent Grade 4 registered nurse positions.” Ms Fitzpatrick said the RDNS expected the Grade 3 district nurse specialised role to take on a broader focus as a care manager. “This will see about 24 full time Grade 3 registered nurses moved to the lower positions.” The future of the Rosebud wound clinic – which describes itself as “providing vital home nursing care for local communities since 1885” - is still under negotiation with Peninsula Health. The union says it is “awaiting further information to relay to members”.

Dementia talks at free forum DEMENTIA will be discussed at a free community forum being held by the Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders (PACE), 2-3.30pm, Wednesday 27 May, at the Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Wilsons Rd and Nepean Hwy, Mornington. Peninsula Dementia Action Group’s Bryan Quinn will speak on ‘What is Dementia?’ and Medicare Local’s Nick Jones will speak on the availability of local dementia services. RSVP to 5950 1617 or email gibtj@mornpen. vic.gov.au Presenters from Senior's Rights, Victoria and Peninsula Community Legal Centre format “breathed life into what can sometimes be dry subjects” at last week’s Law Week forum in Hastings, PACE acting president Jeanette Lane said. The Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders ran the event at the Hastings Community Hub. “The aim was to inform interested members of the community about aspects of money, ageing and family, protecting your rights, powers of attorney and wills,” Ms Lane said.

RDNS spokesman John Allin said the changes would not impact on “exemplary” front-line care to clients. “Advances in technology mean staff members don’t need to come into the office to work,” he said. “All of our clients will be treated in the same way as they have always been. “It should come as no surprise that some clients would be unsettled to hear there have been redundancies but our service levels will not be affected.”

Award for volunteer THE chair of Peninsula Health’s Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Intersex and Queer community advisory group, Julian Conlon, won the Outstanding Individual Achievement by a Volunteer: Supporting Diversity Award at the recent Minister for Health Volunteer Awards. Frankston Hospital’s stage 3 volunteer team, of which Mr Conlan is a member, was also nominated in the Innovation category. Frankston Hospital’s Pink Ladies Auxiliary president Pauline Ellerby was nominated for a life-time achievement award for her 24 years of service. “We are very proud to have such a dedicated volunteer as Mr Conlon at Peninsula Health,” Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams said. “Julian is passionate about healthcare for everyone, bringing humour and warmth, as well as his own healthcare experience, to his work.” The win marks the sixth year in a row a Peninsula Health volunteer or volunteer group has won a Minister for Health Volunteer Award.

Sustainable invite AN invitation has been made for “eco-friendly businesses, community groups, local producers, artists and musicians” to participate in the second Balnarring Community Sustainability Fair. “The inaugural fair was a huge success with over 3000 visitors and 70 eco-friendly stalls,” Balnarring Primary School’s wetlands and sustainability coordinator Pea Saunders said. Ms Saunders said the one-day fair – organised by the school and members of the Balnarring community - aims to “inform, educate and inspire the local community to work towards a more sustainable future”. She said the school is “widely recognised for its dedication in its curriculum to establish sustainable principles as a cornerstone of the student’s education”. The fair will be held Saturday 10 October at the Emu Plains Balnarring Racecourse.

Plan now for cancer rise, says doctor

Cancer fight: Dr Leon Fisher backs an appeal by Peninsula Health to raise money for ultrasound equipment with calls for healthcare services to plan for a rise in pancreatic cancer.

HEALTHCARE services need to plan for a rise in pancreatic cancer, Peninsula Health’s Endoscopy boss Dr Leon Fisher has warned. His warning coincides with this week’s launch of the 2015 cancer appeal to buy the $500,000 cancer detecting machine. “An endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic bronchial ultrasound machine is a critical piece of equipment for diagnosing and treating a range of cancers,” Dr Fisher said. “Currently, local residents must travel outside our catchment zone to access diagnostic services for pancreatic cancer and are often put on long waiting lists. “We have CT scanners, MRI scanners, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy … everything is at Peninsula Health except the EUS/EBUS machine.” Research in the Medical Journal of Australia reveals pancreatic cancer is on the rise. “The five-year survival rate is only five per cent, so early detection is vital,” Dr Fisher said. “With an EUS/EBUS machine available locally, diagnosis will be faster and more accurate. It would happen at Frankston Hospital within days of initial scans, resulting in faster treatment. “The alternative is invasive surgery, which carries serious risks, especially for frail patients.” Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams is confident the appeal target will be reached. “We are very fortunate to have such an active and engaged community who genuinely care about their local healthcare services. Every dollar will make a difference and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.” To donation online visit peninsulahealth.org.au

Light falls on tenders in dark, not stormy, night IN ROSEBUD, “a dark and stormy night” was threatening. This, the much-derided first sentence of the 1830 novel Paul Clifford was apt, even though this night was merely dark, pre-meeting. The popular English novelist Edward BulwerLytton followed up his opening purple prose with this: the violent wind was “fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness”. Phew! We had Neons. That’s winter on the Mornington Peninsula, too, the cold darkness exacerbated by a distinct lack of biscuits for those warming their frozen fingers on a cuppa before the meeting. But CW digresses, and will digress a moment more, on a subject that came up at the previous council meeting – repayment of a $10.45 million unfunded super loan. Regular readers may recall the debate that raged about whether this should be repaid over three years or a decade. Dire warnings were issued by advocates of the longer repayment. We’d all be rooned, one councillor not named Hanrahan warned. Another hinted at conspiracy. A third case was put at a decibel level favoured by teens with earplugs attached to iPods. So, which was the cheapest way to repay the money? CW resorted to Money-Zine on the internet. Here is what it calculated:  Over three years at six per cent (about current shire interest on loans) the total repayment would be $11,444,732.87 – never forget the cents – for total interest of $994,732.87, or $331,577.49 interest a year for three years.  Over 10 years at six per cent, $13,921,970.94 would be repaid, for interest of $3,471,970.94. That is $347,197.09 annual interest for a decade – about $15,500 a year more but extending for the full 10 years. I rest my case, m’Lud. Repayment over three years was the right decision – assuming MoneyZine’s loan amortisation calculator can be trusted. A last word on this: neither CW nor some of the gallery regulars could recall staff bringing a rescission motion to the council chamber, aiming to

overturn a decision made by councillors voting in the community's parliament. It was not a good look: it should not have occurred, we agreed. End of digression. The meeting on 11 May featured a petition from 21 supporters of the contentious RACV Club development plan at Cape Schanck, followed by questions from Cape Schanck residents – warned by the agenda of this petition – returning serve with some ferocity, raising such matters as a large increase in vehicle movements that will result from the huge development. A tender for the Balnarring Recreation Reserve master plan excited some interest, possibly related to what someone had described as the “RollsRoyce” ablutions block to be built at Mothers Beach, Mornington, at a cost of some half a million dollars by the successful tenderer. Dromana resident Ron Musgrove stated in a recent letter to the editor of this newspaper that the winning tender was “$83,000 a seat” for six toilets and two outside showers. Shire staff told him “it is going to be a lovely building”, he wrote. “The building,” Mr Musgrove wrote. “has got to be smaller than a family home. How the hell does it cost half a million?” Many shire residents might echo that question. Certainly the Balnarring proposal drew questions on the shire tendering process, which attracted companies from as far afield as Eltham, Hoppers Crossing and Sunshine. Oh, and Dromana, too, home base of Maw Civil Pty Ltd, which won the work with a price of “$469,081.50 (excluding GST)”. Never forget the cents! No toilet block is mentioned in the tender, except one to be demolished. The work includes building three netball courts, moving cricket nets,

Reaching out A GUIDE to help parents and other family members reach out to young people at risk of suicide has been published by beyondblue. The Family Guide for Youth Suicide Prevention gives advice on how to have a conversation with a young person who may be at risk, what factors place young people at risk and warning signs. About 350 people aged 15-24 suicided in 2013, the latest year for which data is available. This is double the number killed in car accidents. “Families of young people are often really worried about them, but are too afraid to ask them if they are thinking of hurting themselves,” beyondblue CEO Georgie Harman said. “That needs to change because talking about suicide does not cause suicide. In fact, asking questions may prevent suicide by showing the young person that someone cares.” The free guide includes a four-minute video featuring young people talking about how a young person might act if they are experiencing suicidal thoughts. The guide has specific advice on how to help young people who are experiencing cyberbullying. A young person in crisis can call Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800; Lifeline on 13 11 14, 24 hours a day seven days a week; or beyondblue 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 1300 22 4636.

a car park, drainage and “other associated works”. Officers were closely questioned about how the tender procedure works. The iPRO Live system, staff said, is a contractor registration system including financial checks of tendering companies – including “if they’re going to go into bankruptcy” – any legal matters, WorkCover claims, any other matters against which the shire needs safeguards. And so on. But what do we know about the provider of the information, officers were asked. The response to that was also reassuring. Cost estimates have been on CW’s mind, involving a far humbler project. A quote of around $60,000 that came in to the shire was seen by a retiree very experienced in evaluating such jobs. Haggling and horse trading ensued, resulting in the quoted priced being almost halved. Another highly experienced semi-retired person in the same field said that often companies with a full book of work would put in a tender price “a bit over the top” for a job, not really expecting to win but very happy if they did. Holidays in Tuscany all round. Perhaps the shire could examine ways to take advantage of all the skills lying idle around our idyllic villages. A wealth of experience is playing golf and meeting cobbers for coffee day in day out. The Devil invented golf for idle hands. CW once did work for the Certified Practising Accountants and wishes he had kept a copy of an article written when compulsory competitive tendering was imposed on councils. The article predicted two things would occur. First, that over time council officers would lose their practical expertise and close knowledge of road building, rubbish collecting and so on, and second, private tenderers would grow large locally and globally and councils would be left with no option but to decide work on price – possibly prices decided in foreign capitals. Do the names Veiola and Transurban ring a bell?

Volunteers’ growing skills for all to see THE involvement and output of volunteers is not always apparent, however their work is being acknowledged this week, which has been designated National Volunteer Week. One group that does keep a low profile but whose efforts are on show for all to see work behind the scenes at the Seawinds nursery at Arthurs Seat State Park. “Tucked into the back of the park’s gardens are the heated greenhouses and work areas where these volunteers propagate up to 20,000 native plants a year,” Sally Nowlan of Parks Victoria

said. “These are used for local re-vegetation projects by Parks Victoria and foreshore groups and committees.” Ms Nowlan said the 30-member volunteers’ group was formed in 1992 and meets twice a week to collect seeds and use propagation methods and seed smoking “to produce thousands of seedlings”. “Some plants are produced for specific orders, such as blackwood trees for Devilbend Natural Features Reserve, and other rare and unusual ones for special projects.”

RATEPAYERS are again being asked for their views on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s waste recovery plan as pressure is said to be growing on the landfill at Rye, predicted in some shire reports to be full in two years or less. The current draft ̔Municipal Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy’ follows several previous similar documents, including the 2009 ̔Municipal Waste Management Strategy’ and a proposal in 2013 following the Environment Protection Authority's refusal for a tip at the old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment. The new community consultation was approved by councillors at the 11 May meeting. It is available on the shire website and the Let’s Talk Waste “community engagement” website. The latest report’s major option for waste disposal is to enlarge the Rye landfill facility by opening a new disposal area, or “cell”. This was the shire’s preferred option in 2009, when Rye was considered capable of accepting waste until 2030. But by June 2013 this date had dropped to “between 2016 and 2018”. In the current report Rye is estimated to be full by 2017, increasing the urgency of finding an alternative place to dump rubbish. However, the report states that “full development” of Rye would extend its life to 2041. Even limited development would ensure Rye remained open until 2032 or 2028, according to the report. Cost to households would vary according to which option the shire adopted, from $28.69 (partial development of Rye’s western portion) to

$58.36 for transfer of all waste off the peninsula from a holding area in Dromana. The report is silent on the destination of waste if the Dromana option is chosen. The closest offpeninsula landfills are the SITA facility at Hampton Park, about half an hour away, and at Dandenong South. The shire has previously favoured trucking waste 102 km to Werribee or to slightly closer landfills at Sunshine and Deer Park. The most favoured option – alternative waste technology (AWT), sophisticated high-temperature incinerators, as used widely in the US and Europe – is not available in Victoria. The Pioneer quarry appeared to be the anticipated solution for waste disposal until fierce community opposition and the EPA ruled it out. The report states that an additional $6.5 million would be required over the next three years for the draft strategy. It does not say whether the $2.52 million raised in 2014-15 from the optional green waste bin service will contribute toward this sum. “Sixty per cent of the funding is associated with extending the Rye landfill. The other large budget items are the weekly summer recycling service ($350,000 annually), extending the opt-in green organics to include food … and extending ‘no charge’ green organics weekends to include Friday ($130,000 annually),” the report says. Extending the green organics to include food would cost $130,000 to establish and involve an annual cost of $300,000, it adds. The report says the strategy “embodies best practice measures … and takes a number of critical steps towards moving the shire closer to its vision of zero waste”.

LETTERS Port budget blow Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean addressed a meeting I attended on Tuesday 13 May. Brandishing a copy of the Western Port News, Mr Lean’s terse opening comment was that the article was “factually incorrect”. Having now read the article, I can’t understand his accusation (‘Budget’s $80m blow to port’, The News 12/5/15). Mr Lean said the authority would no longer be managing plans for a second container port at Hastings and that task was now in the hands of Infrastructure Victoria. He confirmed that future staff numbers would be determined at next Monday’s board meeting; that the authority was still funded (but did not reveal the allocation) to explore opportunities to expand bulk port facilities at Hastings; and that although other specialist studies would cease, hydrodynamic studies would continue. So, both he and The News confirm that the authority’s role has been reduced to managing day to day operations and exploring bulk port expansion opportunities. It all looks factually comparable to me. As for Hastings MP Neale Burgess’s opinion that removing $80 million of funding was a disgraceful decision - we had an election. Like it or not, Victorians elected a government whose clearly expressed policy was to have Infrastructure Victoria advise on the best location for Victoria’s second container port. So, why fritter away another $80 million on studies in Western Port? Although Mr Burgess invokes support for his utterances from “even the greenest groups”, I doubt any environmentalists would support wasting

taxpayer funds on pointless studies, and neither should Mr Burgess. Jenny Warfe, Dromana Editor: The Port of Hastings Development Authority has not responded to an email inviting comment from its CEO Mike Lean.

Government policy It looks as if finally a government in Australia is doing what it said before it got elected. The Victorian state government seems to keep to its preelection slogan: no port extension for Hastings (‘Budget’s $80m blow to port’, The News 12/5/15). I would like to congratulate it for not wasting any more money on the Port of Hastings Development Authority and put the money to some much needed use somewhere else. With the Abbott federal government reneging on the $1.5 billion infrastructure money to help with chronic traffic issues in Melbourne, the state government needs to find money where it can. It's a pity that it was not possible to leave a little of this money for further environmental work around Western Port, that is if [Hastings MP Neale] Burgess’s crocodile tears are to be believed. I hope Peter Rawlings didn't do himself any harm, sitting on the fence in regards to children in detention (‘Christian arrested in MP’s office’, The News 12/5/15). However much he defends his [Liberal] party and blames the opposition for this self inflicted dilemma for Australia, the fact remains that there are still 227 children in our concentration camps. This number was quoted by [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt. Even one child in a detention centre is too much. The other fact is that the Human Rights Commission made the government aware of this unacceptable fact

many months ago and was attacked fiercely by the government for it's "boldness" to speak out for the vulnerable. I think kids in detention are much more uncomfortable and probably damaged for life than Peter Rawlings straddling the fence. Close all these camps and stop blaming the victims of our foreign policy. When a group of concerned Christians tried to get some action on the disgraceful imprisonment of children in our concentration camps for refugees, they where dragged away from Mr Hunt’s office by police at the behest of his staff and, one can only presume, Mr Hunt himself. So much for democracy in Flinders. As usual, Mr Hunt in the true Liberal way, blamed the messenger and tried to blacken their motives by asking why they didn't protest about the drowning of African refugees trying to get to Europe. At least in Europe children don't end up in concentration camps almost indefinitely, like here. Shame Mr Hunt, you're losing us down here on the peninsula at a great pace. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Loyal to swami As followers for many years, we have chosen to remain loyal to the Mt Eliza ashram, teachers and community. No one denies that mistakes were made, least of all Swami Shankarananda himself. However, he is still a wonderful teacher and has been a compassionate champion to many. The amount of help he has given to many over the years is amazing and always given in a spirit of love and generosity. It is also worth noting that many of these people leveling accusations

against him, willingly stayed for many years. During this time, they appeared very happy to be in his presence. If the situation was so bad and damaging to them, why was their demeanor always so joyous and why didn't they leave? Their claims of fear and guilt just don't fit the way they acted at the time they were there. Accusations of overbearing control are also strongly denied by the many ashramites we have spoken to. In fact, it appears most of the control was by someone who was at the forefront of the accusations and this went against the wishes of Swami Shankarananda and Devi Ma. It is individual choice whether to stay or go, but continual attacks on those choosing to continue are both cruel and unnecessary, both to the individuals and the ashram community. BJ and TJ Bateman, Bentleigh East

Praise for swami I have been greatly upset by the vilification of Swami Shankarananda in recent times and feel compelled to write of my positive experience of him and his work. I have attended programs at the ashram in Mt Eliza for over 13 years and during this time I have always witnessed Swamiji to be a man of great compassion, wisdom and knowledge. He has always encouraged people to find their inner light, their power and live from that space. I wish to keep practising his wonderful teachings and be left in peace to do so. I believe the light should be turned on his attackers and what they stand to gain by their campaign of hatred, vitriol and greed. Cheryl MacDonald, Mt Eliza

Winter gardening tips EVEN though the weather is cooler, it’s actually the perfect time to get out in the garden and here are a few winter gardening jobs to do.  Prune deciduous trees. Most deciduous trees love a good prune back throughout the winter months. It is easier to see structural issues when the tree has no foliage too. Remove branches that are affected by pests and diseases, branches that go against the natural growth habit, or branches that seem unsafe or in the way. Plant annuals during winter, to add vibrant color to your garden. Usually winter annuals will

begin flowering in June or July and you will have a burst of color right up until spring.  Prune roses. June and July is the perfect time to prune roses but don’t start until the final blossom, particularly with climbing roses.  Feed your garden and soil. Autumn and winter is the perfect time to amend your soil profile with organic materials, like mushroom compost, blood and bone, cow manure, and peat moss. This will re-invigorate the soil and add the essential nutrients plants need to thrive.

Knowing what type of tow bar you should get RON Gunn of Utow Caravans explains the importance of choosing the right tow bar for your caravan. “What type of tow bar I need should be discussed with a qualified person before you buy the vehicle,” says Ron. “It is also important that you know your caravan and tow ball weights. Most dealers will fit the minimum tow bar to a new vehicle or even if you are buying a second hand car that already has a tow bar then this might just be of the minimum standard that is required to tow a box trailer.” Ron says there are many different types of tow bars ranging from: “Standard tow bars – light duty towing usually up to 1000kg and a tow ball weight often up to 100kg. They usually have little or no reinforcement, which would generally make them unsuitable for use with spring bars as they are only attached to the vehicle at the ends. “Mini Hitch Bar – These are of a heavier grade steel and have a centre mounting point behind the tongue as well as the outside points. This restricts the flexing movement and make them suitable for spring bars. These hitches will normally be able to tow a trailer or caravan up to and including 1600kg when loaded and have a tow ball weight of 150kg. “Weight Distribution Hitch Bar – This is the type that a lot of people refer to as a Hayman Reece,

although there are a number of manufacturers who construct this type of tow bar. They usually have a square outlet to take a removable tongue or hitch. This type of bar is connected to the vehicle in a number of places and sometimes will have additional structural support in the vehicle boot or load carrying area. These are suitable for spring bars and weight distribution bars. They will normally be capable of towing the maximum weight that the vehicle can legally tow. “All tow bars manufactured and fitted to a vehicle must have a compliance plate stating the vehicle model, model number and tested load ratings,” says Ron. “For more information either speak to us at Utow Caravans or a qualified tow bar fitter. U-Tow Caravans can do servicing for your caravan and we are now qualified to do test and tag on your electrical appliances. We also have a wide range of Caravan Accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.” We can be contacted on www.utowcaravans. com, email: utowcaravans@bigpond.com, or Phone 5978 0083 or 0400 777 698.

Welcome to

Coolart Country Meats IN this fast changing world its good to know that some things never change and having a good local butcher is one of them. This could not be truer of local butcher, Tim Cummings, who has been a butcher for more than 23 years. “I started out my apprenticeship across the other side of the railway line at just 17, and have stayed in Somerville ever since,” says Tim. “I have been absent for a bit over the last couple of years due to personal issues but wanted to take

the opportunity to thank all my loyal and caring customers who have supported me through a crisis time in my life.” Daniel Brown, who works alongside Tim, at Coolart Country Meats, could not agree more. “The customers have been amazing and so supportive. They are not customers they are more like family,” says Daniel. For good old-fashioned service, and fresh, quality meats, call into Coolart Country Meats where Tim is back with full force.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Train service to remain the same Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE secretary of the Frankston Football Club acknowledges with thanks a donation of £1 1s from Mr Booth. *** MR S. S. Price, dentist, of Melbourne, wishes it known that he will attend at Garroods’ Hotel, Frankston, this week-end, for the convenience of those who may wish to consult him. *** THREE of Miss O. Sherlock’s pupils were successful in the musical examinations for May, held by the Musical Society of Victoria. Among the names of the students who have passed are: Honors in piano, Pass in Theory, Willmott Croskell. Pass in Piano, Dorothea Thornell, and Florence Vines. *** THE married ladies of the Frankston Methodist Church have proved their ability to run a social evening. Judging from the finished style which was everywhere in evidence on Friday night last, it was not the first social they have had a hand in. On account of not having advertised long enough, the attendance was not as large as it otherwise would have been, but the sum of £1 17s was taken for the Church Organ Fund, for which object the effort was made. A new organ for the church was urgently needed, and since being installed has made things much pleasanter for everybody concerned, and to pay for it the church people have decided to hold socials now and again, to raise funds. Sixpence was all that was asked for

admission, and included a splendid programme of songs and recitations, and a first class supper. Mrs Jackson presided, and before closing the entertainment, called upon Mr Corlett to move a vote of thanks, as there was not a married lady present who had not helped, in some way, to make the evening a success. Mr Jackson seconded the motion, and thanked all who had contributed towards the evening’s enjoyment, including Mrs Malcom, Mrs M’Cormack, Mrs Lawrey, Mrs Thompson, and Miss Sherlock. The married men have volunteered to see the next social through, and it has been fixed for some time next month, when it is to be hoped their efforts will be crowned with success. *** A MEETING of the members of the Frankston Patriotic Committee was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening, Dr Maxwell in the chair. The meeting was poorly attended, owing to the inclement weather. On the minutes of last meeting being confirmed, Dr Plowman (hon treasurer) read a statement of the state of the finances which showed that after the last meeting there was a balance in hand of £1 3s 8d, since then there has been collected £80 5s 2d, making a total in hand of £81 8s 10d. Dr Plowman said that all the amounts received had been acknowledged through the ‘Standard,’ but he had received 10s from a gentleman at the train one morning just as it

was leaving, and when he came to enter it he had forgotten the donor’s name so he had entered it as ‘Unknown.’ The only expenses incurred was 25s for postage and printing. He suggested that £50 be forwarded to the Belgian Fund out of the money in hand. The chairman said that it was for the meeting to decide how much would be sent. He thought the whole of the £80 was earmarked for that fund. Captain Sherlock suggested that £60 be sent, and moved to that effect. Se- conded by Mrs Deane, and carried, Captain Sherlock, on behalf of the ladies’ committee said they were still pegging away, and though might not be able to send in as much as they did before, they would forward what they could to the treasurer of the fund. Mr C. P. Watson, on behalf of Master Bachelor Garrood (3 years old) handed in £4, contents of his money box, to be given to the Belgian Fund. Dr Plowman here stated that he had received up to date for the fund the handsome sum of £242 7s 3d. Hearty votes of thanks were passed to the following for their efforts in raising funds :Mrs Lewis, Miss Trenoweth, Mrs Dial, Langwarrin Tennis Club, Ladies Collecting Committee, and Master B. Garrood. A meeting of the Presentation Com- mittee was held immediately after the above meeting, when the treasurer (Dr Plowman) reported that

after the last lot of watches and medals had been paid for and all other expenses met, there was a balance in hand of £7 2s 2d. The proceeds of the last concert am- ounted to £11 10s 2d. It was resolved, on the motion of Cr Oates, seconded by Mr Young, that the presentation of souvenirs to several other of the residents who had enlisted from this district be held over till the next public presentation. *** THE tender of Messrs Watt and Mathierson, Sorrento, of £352 15s 9d has been accepted, for repairs to jetty and approaches, at Portsea. *** OWING to the rain on Monday evening the entertainment to have been given by “Linco” the Master Magician, in the Frankston Hall, was postponed till this (Saturday) evening, when it is to be hoped the weather will prove more favorable, as we understand the entertainment is well worth seeing, and has only to be seen to be appreciated. *** NEXT Monday (Empire Day) the children at the Frankston school will be entertained in the school grounds in the afternoon and in the evening an up-to-date picture show will be given by Mr Alex Gunn, of Melbourne,in the hall, to which they will be admitted for the small sum of one penny, adults being charged 6d. any surplus to go towards the Belgian fund. The doors will be opened at 7 o’clock and pictures show at 7 30 sharp. ***

MR Frank Church, one of the best known and respected residents of the Langwarrin district, passed away peacefully, at the Alfred Hospital, on Saturday evening last, May 15th. Deceased, who was 47 years of age, had resided in this district for the last 30 years, and by his thorough integrity and fine genuine character, had earned the respect of the whole community, and much regret is felt by all who knew him at his death, at so early an age. *** THE train service on the Mornington and Stony Point line is, the Railway Commissioners told a deputation from the Federated Progress Associations of Mornington Peninsula on Tuesday, considered to be ample for present requirements. They explained that they could not run the morning train to Melbourne and the evening train from Melbourne express north of Frankston, because this would necessitate additional trains, which present conditions by no means justified. With the advent of electrification they hoped to be able to arrange through runs over longer distances than at present. They were considering a request made some time ago for an additional train about midday between Frankston and Mornington. They promised to send an officer of the department to the district to inquire into the suggestion to establish a flag station between Crib Point and Bittern.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A right royal stuff up By Stuart McCullough WHAT a wasted opportunity. Naming a child after its grandparents and great grandmother can’t help but feel like a massive compromise; one where the potential for something truly, mindblowingly awesome was squandered. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. I suppose, as far as names go, they’re all right. But they’re hardly going to set the world on fire, are they? How about something a little more memorable? Like Dakota, Madison, Blaze or Lolita. Honestly, it’s as though the Duke and Duchess have never been to Moe. The least they could have done is throw in a random ‘z’ or silent ‘ph’ somewhere. Just to make things interesting. I get it – they’re aiming for something along more traditional lines. That’s fine, but it’s still no excuse for being boring. Too much monarchy and not nearly enough anarchy for my liking. But there are still great traditional options available if you’re willing to go a little further back in time. Bathsheba for example, is as traditional a royal name as you’re ever going to find. So too is Jezebel. Granted, there’s a long queue for the throne and (barring some Westeros-style hi-jinks) her chances of ever becoming Queen are slim at best, but there are plenty of splendid names for Princesses there for the taking. You can’t tell me that the world wouldn’t loved another Princess Buttercup, especially since the first one was fictional and has since married the President.

Princesses Fiona and Bubblegum are both wonderful role models, notwithstanding that they’re both cartoons. Or, if you prefer your princesses real, Princess Leia would have made a lot of nerds very, very happy. Or, if you really want to bring the multitudes with you, surely Xena would have been an inspired selection. But no dice. In fact, as I understand it, Beyonce wasn’t even on the short-

list. That’s a snub, if ever there was. Good luck convincing Jay-Z to perform at the christening. It was, so we were told, a very special day for our country. I beg to differ. If it were an event of any real significance, chances are the child would have been given a traditional Australian name. Like Beryl or Shazzamataz. Maybe even Edna. I once knew a girl called Debbie who was an amateur magician and traded

under the name ‘Abracadebra’. Honestly, what’s the point of being part of the British Empire if they’re not going to throw us the occasional bone in the baby-naming department? The fault, clearly, lies with the parents. They ought to be the last people allowed to name their own child. You’d have thought that after the debacle that was ‘George Alexander Louis’, their families would have intervened. Even the mere fact of three names rather than the regular two is grounds enough for a check-up from the authorities. These kinds of important decisions should not be left to two people who, frankly, are probably a little emotional. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that this is the kind of situation that SMS phone polls were invented for. Now that child number two is here, I’m beginning to suspect they’re not giving my suggestions even the slightest consideration. I’ll admit I was a little crushed when, presumably because they both like Seinfeld but ‘Kramer’ was a little too out there; they named their first-born ‘George’. I still maintain that ‘Vincent’ was a great suggestion. Traditional, but not too obvious. Besides, having a ‘Prince Vince’ would have been great for everyone concerned. Or, if wanting something a little more low key, they could have avoided giving the young prince a name at all and just identified him with a symbol. It has to be said the response to the entire blessed event has been kind of

absurd. To be honest, I’m not sure why anyone’s fussed. I mean, good luck to them, and all, but it does seem as though the reaction slightly outweighs the significance of the occasion. Chances are, more column inches will be expended in this country on the fact that George now has a little sister than were needed to cover the entire British election. There’s a whole range of magazines that have gone absolutely, stone-cold berserk. Perspective, people; that’s all I’m saying. Sometimes I wonder if our unwillingness to sever the final, fragile cords to the Mother Country is based on an irrational fear that it will adversely impact the women’s magazine market. That’s not an especially sound basis on which to make your constitutional arrangements, but there you have it. Now that I think about it, we don’t have to put up with this kind of nonsense.

Eagles fly high as Blues stumble NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt HASTINGS dropped from second place on the Nepean Division leader to fourth after being overrun by Somerville on Saturday. It was the first loss of the season for the Blues and once again highlighted how close the top teams of the competition were. After trailing by 14 points and being kept goalless in the opening term, the home side hit back in the second and led by seven points at the main interval. Luke Clark, who finished the afternoon with five majors, started to get his hands on it in attack and Josh Mulheron began to get on top in the middle of the ground. The third quarter was an arm wrestle with the Blues maintaining their ascendancy. Paul Rogasch and Lance Brouwer, along with Kain Stratton, were doing wonderful work in defence for the Blues and Luke Hewitt was proving to be a handful in the forward half of the ground. At the last change, Hastings had its nose in front 6.7 (43) to 5.7 (37). Somerville was rumoured to be going into the game without prime mover Tim McGennis, however, he took his place. Adrian Ridout came straight back into the team after three quarters in the reserves. He missed four weeks with a hamstring. Cal Dixon also played his first game in a number of weeks after looking to be out of favour. The Eagles needed to find something in the last quarter and they did, booting five goals to two to run out 10.8 (68) to 8.12 (60) winners. The Blues squandered opportunities in the final 25 minutes, booting five behinds. Ben Sedgewick was again at the top of his game for the Eagles with another outstanding performance in defence, while Dixon showed his capabilities through the middle of the ground. Scott Simpson turned around an average performance last week to be one of the Eagles’ best and Jedd Sutton was again one of his team’s best performers. The Eagles are looked upon as a bit of a glamour side, however, they have a defensive quality and a hunger that people underestimate.

Flying high: Frankston Bombers easily accounted for Devon Meadows by 46 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Against Red Hill, Sorrento and Hastings, the Eagles have been required to find a little extra, get up off the deck and fight. They have responded every time against quality opposition. The Eagles have won four of their five games (only defeat was a shock loss to Pearcedale), however, sit in fifth place on the ladder. Rosebud is nestled neatly in third place on the ladder after a command-

ing victory against Dromana. In a match that didn’t reach great heights and was marred by poor skill execution and turnovers, the Buds still remained the better of the two teams throughout the contest and recorded a 10.7 (67) to 6.15 (73) victory. Rosebud’s Tom Baker was the key difference between the sides with five of Rosebud’s ten goals. Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest set

up the win with blistering first halves of footy. Each collected 26 possessions and although they faded in the second half, Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft picked up the slack. Sam Kremich also did a superb job on the dangerous teenager Sam Fowler, who failed to hit the scoreboard. The Buds control of the match was evident by the fact that they had 80 to 56 marks, while their run receives

were also in their favour at 43-30. Inside 50’s were about equal though. The home side also had a lot more purpose taking the balI into their forward line, while the Tigers seemed to bang it in and hope. Matt Jones was outstanding for the Tigers, as was Terry Wheeler and Sam Guerts. Frankston Bombers made it two wins on the trot after easily accounting for Devon Meadows, 17.17 (119) to 10.13 (73). The Panthers again let themselves down with a poor first half and although fighting back in the second hour, the damage had already been done. Zac Longham was outstanding for the winner with five goals. Sorrento got back on the winners list with a massive 28.14 (182) to 4.1 (25) victory over Tyabb. Leigh Poholke booted six goals for the winners, Nick Muller snagged four and a further nine players hit the scoreboard. Troy Schwarze was back from overseas and Ryan Jeffrey returned from suspension. Jon Croad and Daniel Grant were both missing but expected to be back next week. Miles Pitt heads overseas this week. Tyrren Head continued his dominant season, while Chris Morgan was dominant in the ruck. Tyson Sparkes and James Cottrell were the best of the Yabbies. Red Hill maintained its position at the top of the ladder with a 15.10 (100) to 5.14 (44) victory against Pearcedale. Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said after the game that the result wasn’t a reflection of the game. “It really wasn’t until the last quarter that we were able to shake them,” Blackford said. Michael Chaplin booted four for the winners and Matt Vagg kicked a couple against his old side. Rye sits in second place on the ladder after smashing Crib Point. The Demons were never challenged and recorded a 18.15 (123) to 11.6 (72) victory. The Magpies, who were so impressive last year with a grand final appearance, are now sitting in the bottom three with just one win and will not play finals in 2015.

Pythons on the slide PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt PINES continued its slide down the Peninsula Division ladder after copping a hiding at the hands of Frankston YCW on Saturday. The Pythons started the year in superb fashion and won its opening four games of the season, however, it is starting to realise that the powerhouses of the competition have a little more to offer. Mornington was able to touch the Pythons up last week and it was Frankston YCW’s turn to give them a bit of stick on Saturday. Coming off a loss against Langwarrin the previous week, the Stonecats again started slowly in their match against Pines. The Stonecats trailed at quarter time before kicking seven goals to one behind in the second quarter to open up a commanding 38 point lead. The second half saw the visitors kick seven goals to four to record a 16.21 (117) to 8.7 (55) victory. Anthony Bruhn booted six goals for the winners to give him 24 for the season, while Dave Bodley took his season tally to 18 with four majors. Kevin Lylak in his second game back was again one of the Stonecats’ best while Paul Minchington played his best game for his new club. Guy Hendry was outstanding for the Pythons with four goals and his brother Beau was also at the top of his game. It was hard to find many other good performers across the match though, although Paul McLeanWilson tried hard. Despite two heavy losses in a row, Pines still sit in third position on the ladder. Mornington maintains its position in second place on the table after a solid 23 point win against Edithvale-Aspendale. What we are seeing at the moment is that there are two sides (Mt Eliza and Mornington) flexing their muscles against those sides that we believe are good enough for the finals but not ready to challenge for the title. The Dogs laid the foundation for the win with a five goal to one first quarter. To Edithvale’s credit, they rallied and were able to restrict the home side’s onslaught and keep them to six goals apiece after the first change. Emilio Bitters and Michael Gay in the ruck were outstanding for Mornington while Steve Mannix and Matt Clark shared the top votes for the Eagles. Edithvale coach Graeme Yates said that his club was going through a transition phase and that consistency would be the biggest challenge this season. “We lost a lot of players in the off season and while we have the nucleus, we have a lot of young boys who are trying the find their way,” Yates said. “We are a young side learning but I think we are very capable of playing finals and that’s the aim.”

Sharks devour Bulls: Bonbeach beat Karingal by 72 points. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Langwarrin picked up where it left off last week against Frankston YCW and booted eight goals to one in the opening quarter to blow Seaford away by almost ten goals. The Tigers were able to boot 13 goals to Langwarrin’s 15 after the first change but the damage was well and truly done at that point, going down 23.12 (150) to 14.9 (93). Gerard Brown continued his outstanding season for the Kangas with five goals to have 18 for the year while Matt Naughton kicked four resting forward. Naughton has been rewarded for his season with an interleague call up. However, it was a couple of recruits who stamped their mark on the club. Dale Binks, formerly of Tyabb, was outstanding for the winners, as was former Yabbies’ skipper Ethan Rahilly. Travis Baldock was fantastic too for the winners after crossing from Chelsea Heights. Ricki Johnston is in career best form, which is why he is in the leadership group of the interleague side. Rourke Fischer, fresh from playing at Collingwood in the VFL last week, was again Seaford’s best player, while Chris Fortnam and Luke Smith also worked hard. Mt Eliza didn’t get things all their own way against Chelsea, winning 15.11 (101) to 11.6 (72). The margin was 29 points in favour of the Redlegs at quarter time but the Gulls were able to boot nine goals to eight after quarter time. Justin Van Unen booted four for the winners and Dave Willett and Scott Lockwood finished with three each, Darren Booth and Ben Landry were outstanding across four quarters. Hudson Thomas snagged four for the Seagulls while Jason Clark, Todd Gardiner, Alex Smout and Jayden Attard were among the best players on the ground. The Gulls went into the game without coach Brent Guerra, who is suffering from a hand injury. Bonbeach won its third match of the season, beating Karingal 19.18 (132) to 9.6 (60). Chris Bryan and James Maxwell booted three each for the Sharks while another ten players kicked goals. Blake Simpson kicked four for the Bulls and was clearly among his team’s best, while Aaron Lees was also superb once again.

Former AFL star sets the standard INTERLEAGUE

By Toe Punt FORMER Richmond, North Melbourne and West Coast Eagles forward Aaron Edwards has cut short his Bali holiday so that he can represent his league at the country championships this weekend. Edwards had organised to go to Bali for a week, leaving last Sunday straight after the game against Frankston YCW, return on Saturday morning to play against Ovens and Murray. However, upon hearing that the team was travelling together by bus to Albury on Friday, Edwards rearranged his flights to ensure that he could join the team on the bus. Peninsula Division chairman of selectors, John Hynes, who played at Carlton, captained Frankston Dolphins and coached Edithvale-Aspendale, said Edwards’ commitment typified the dedication of the group in 2015. “The reality is that we were embarrassed by Geelong FL last season and we all learned lessons from that, from the top at league level right through to the players,” Hynes said. “We have picked a large squad and the commitment level of them cannot be faltered. “A leadership group pretty much picked itself and they have driven the culture among the group – Aaron (Edwards) is one of those, along with the likes of Ricki Johnston and Warwick Miller. “The reality is that Peninsula Division is in

the best three leagues in the state. If we lose this match, we drop to five or six, which isn’t good for us. “The players are committed to the cause and we will pick the absolutly strongest team we can. “The likes of Lachy Wallace and Rourke Fischer (Collingwood VFL) are both right to go and we have some Frankston Dolphins who have filtered back. “Unfortunately we don’t have the likes of Ash Eames, Jimmy Messina and Anthony Barry (all injured) and Michael Gay (family holiday) but you can be assured we’ll be the best possible team. “That hasn’t always been the case in the past few years, despite the fact we have recorded some good results,” Hynes said. Nepean Division coach Ben Holmes said he too was excited about the commitment level of his charges. “We picked a squad of around 70 and we have had 40-plus on the track every training session. That doesn’t include the guys who don’t train because they are a bit sore but come to training anyway,” Holmes said. “The commitment level is fantastic this year and I think the players, coaches and clubs need to take the credit. “We’re all looking forward to improving our ranking and breaking into that top 10,” Holmes said.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard

Crib Point fail to exorcise the Demons CRIB POINT FC

By Jared Newton CRIB Point slipped to its fourth loss in five matches after going down by 51 points to a slick Rye outfit. Despite being in touch for much of the afternoon, Crib were unable to get ahead and after getting within 15 points midway through the 3rd quarter, Rye pulled away for a comfortable win. The Magpies are really underdone at the moment and Saturday’s side missed eight players that were not in their grand final side who are either injured or suspended. Despite this is was a few familiar faces leading the charge for the Magpies with Waide Symes, Dean Kairies and Dean Warry among the best for the Pies. There were only three multiple goal kickers for the Pies with Davidson, Warry, and Herrington with two apiece. There’s no doubt the Pies are still competitive in an even competition despite being underdone, however their season is at serious risk of slipping away if they do not address some of the sloppy habits that have plagued their football in 2015. Crib simply cannot wait for injuries to heal and suspensions to expire. The onus is on the current group to find it from within to turn it around themselves and what better way to do that with a weeks break and return game against the side that rolled the Pies in the decider in 2014 – Sorrento. Sadly, when the seniors are underdone and a few reserves stalwarts are sitting out with injuries, the depth for the club takes a serious hit. The reserves were highly competitive early and even took a quarter time lead over Rye with a determined start but av-

enues to goal were hard to find, as they could only manage two goals versus 12 after quarter time to go down by 46 points. The ageless Glenn Barclay was a rock in defence. Neil Clark is getting better each week and if he can ignite his passion for the game could solve the seniors big man woes with his marking and back up ruck work. Cal Campbell hasn’t been beaten by an opponent this season to date either. The reserves are in the same boat as the seniors and cannot wait for injured blokes to return and make them better. There’s a group of fringe players that have been begging for games of football and now they have their chance at an unhindered run at it. Players need to show the hunger for the contest so coach Thompson looks elsewhere to tap blokes on the shoulder. While the senior teams have had a rough start to 2015, the under 19s have shown no such issues dispatching Rye in dominant fashion with a 137 point demolition. Kyle Espenschied continued his purple patch of form with another great game in the middle, and Tyler Wilton lead the way up forward with five goals. The under 19s put the game away early with a six goal to nil opening quarter and a 16 goal second half onslaught. The scene is set for the under 19s; a huge clash with second on the table Sorrento after the bye. Should the Crib boys get up for that one, they can legitimately be labelled finals contenders for 2015. Editors note: Playing in his 200th game for Crib Point, Jared Newton was dominant in the ruck all day in a best on ground performance, that was arguably the finest of his career.

No luck for reserves: Despite leading at quarter time, Crib Point’s reserves ended up going down by 46 points. Picture: Barb Ross

Hastings go down to Somerville in a nail–biter HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone, club president SENIORS REPORT THE weekend saw the Blues face up against Somerville. It was a strange game that was low scoring and no team really dominated the other. The boys played well in patches but for the most part we got beaten on the outside of the contest and this hurt us with them getting some easy football. Our skills were not as good as they have been, and at times we went back to old habits and bombed the football which did not help our forwards. Again we had more scoring opportunities but inaccurate kicking proved to be the difference in the end as well as two goals from undisciplined acts and frees. All in all its not panic stations. It’s a loss to a good side and we know we have a lot of improvement left in us and I feel we had our chances to win but didn’t take them. RESERVES REPORT WE played Somerville in what was our biggest test so far this year. The boys started ok in the first quarter and matched it with Somerville. In the second quarter we made some bad mistakes which let Somerville kick some late quarter goals to get away to a three goal lead at halftime. Into the third quarter the boys were asked to lift to try and get back in the game but unfortunately Somerville came out and lifted there intensity and really got on top of us with there run. The last quarter the boys were urged to slow them up and put some scoreboard pressure on which they tried desperately to do but couldn’t shake the solid Somerville team to go down by a fair margin. Better players on the day were Kyle Brouwer, Mickey Cave, Carey Sawocz, Jason Kestle, Dylan Paarlberg and Josh Ward UNDER 19s by Aaron Wilson

MISSING four crucial players, Hastings under 19s were not able to withstand a third quarter flurry of goals from Somerville. They had 15 rotations per quarter compared to Hastings’ 0. A gallant effort ensued for the home side. The most pleasing thing was the endeavour and ball movement from Hastings. Kayne Lewis, Joel Goetz and Stephen Williams all had their best game for the season. The boys will regroup and have a well earned rest with the bye coming up and prepare to take Red Hill in the next round. NETBALL REPORT A BEAUTIFUL sunny day welcomed the Eagles girls to our courts with netball played with great sportsmanship and spirit. C grade started well but had periods in the match where they went missing but to their credit they kept at it and finished strongly. Courtney was fantastic in defence gaining more confidence with each week. B grade welcomed Renee Owen back after a few weeks out with injury. Unfortunately the girls didn’t get the win against a pretty strong Sommy team. With the sun still shining the A grade took on a tall, strong Somerville side. There were definitely many positives to come out of our match. When we moved to ball quickly and confidently the benefits paid off. Ebony Clark worked so hard all day, and she was our best on court. *** Upcoming Functions: “An Evening with Rosie Batty” Tuesday 19th May, 2015 at 7pm onwards COIN DONATION to the Luke Batty Foundation. “BABBA at The Hastings Club” Cost $30.00 Single 30th May, 2015, start time 8pm. Our next game is away Vs Red Hill Lets make sure we get a big crowd there to support the boys and girls. Go Blues. Western Port News 19 May 2015
