Chaos reigns Chaos reigns as wild winds as wild winds wreak havocwreak havocChris [email protected]

THE Mornington Peninsula bore the brunt of last week’s fi erce wind storm which damaged homes, cut power sup-plies and created havoc for commuters as train services were suspended and major roads closed to traffi c.

Dozens of trees and power lines were brought down by wind gusts of up to 122km/h as an icy storm front labelled by the Bureau of Meteorology as a “winter weather bomb” blasted the state’s south-east on Tuesday.

Emergency services were stretched to the limit clearing roads, rail lines and homes from fallen trees, branches and other debris, while police were kept busy responding to chaos on the roads.

Large sections of towns including Mornington and Mt Martha were left without power for several hours dur-ing the peak of the storms, while more than 10,000 properties were also af-fected across the peninsula.

State Emergency Services offi cials

said the Mornington Peninsula was the state’s worst affected region, with 47 calls for help coming from Mount Martha, 46 from Mount Eliza, 39 from Rye, 32 from Mornington,and 27 from Rosebud.

To coordinate response efforts, a di-visional command centre was set up at Frankston.

Frankston SES controller Phil Holt said additional crews from around the state had been directed to the area to help clear up the backlog of jobs.

“We had about 300 calls for assis-tance in the Frankston area and there was a similar number across the penin-sula,” Mr Holt said.

“The damage was fairly evenly dis-persed across the region, mainly fallen trees and power lines.”

He said the high volume of work meant SES crews had to prioritise tasks, with the number one priority clearing trees blocking roads.

Coastal regions were especially hard hit, with huge swells combining with a high tide and driving wind and rain to the foreshore region.

CYCLING from Perth back home to Rye will be a hard slog, but it’s a sign of the dedication to a cause by fencer Jay Hawkins and his son, Jake, 21, an apprentice plumber.

The pair, of Nautilus St, is putting in the hard yards to raise money and publicity for the R U Ok? campaign, which aims to assist those suffering depression and contemplating suicide.

It’s an all-too-common occurrence on the peninsula, where it seems eve-ryone knows someone who has been touched by tragedy. Jay and Jake are no exception.

At the start of the year, Jay, and an-other son, Luke, walked from Rye to the Gold Coast unassisted – 2000km in 40 days – to raise awareness and funds to promote the R U Ok? mes-sage. They raised almost $7000 and generated lots of goodwill along the way.

Recently another youth – the captain of a local U18 football team – took his own life. So affected was Jay that he planned another trip to raise awareness – this time with Jake.

Now, however, to ease the strain on his legs, they have decided to ride in-stead of walk, with Perth the starting point. They will fl y over to begin their ride on 12 August, hoping to reach a “huge” welcome home celebration at Rye Football Club on Sunday 31 August.

That’s going to be some ask: they will cover 3500km in 19 days – or almost 200km per day. Money will come through donations, online pub-licity and raffl es.

“We hope to have strong wester-lies to push us along,” Jay quipped, adding that trucks – especially on the 1200km stretch across the Nullabor – were their main danger. The pair has no support crew or trailers – just backpacks – and will rely on their own strength of character and hardi-ness to last the distance.

They will talk to as many locals as they can on the way to raise aware-ness for their cause and, hopefully, more donations to reach their target of $10,000. “We know it’s pretty hilly leaving Perth, so that will be tough, and then, after we cross the Nullabor, we’ll encounter the Flinders Ranges.”

The generous sponsorship of many local businesses has made the trip possible. Jay thanks SportsPower Rosebud – whose proprietor, Jeff Swagemakers – backed them on their fi rst trip and fund raised and used social media to gather local support. Other key sponsors are Avantiplus Frankston which provided suitable

Father and son hit the road to make sure we’re all OKFather and son hit the road to make sure we’re all OK

bikes, Magellan for cycling GPS equipment, Beastwear for jerseys, and Adventuresafety.com.au

Mr Swagemakers said a large num-ber of youth suffered from depression on the peninsula and that a local high school had had an increasing number of suicides over the past three years. “Personally, we are fortunate to still have our beloved daughter with us af-ter a tragic two years when an assault at school led her to attempt suicide, and her recovery has been prolonged and devastating,” he said.

“We got right behind Jay and Jake and provided them with shoes, shorts and socks to help them achieve their goal and used social media to gather

support for them locally. “The support they received from here and all along the way was phenomenal.”

Mr Swagemakers said the store’s facebook page and Walk for Life 2014 campaign on the pair’s Gold Coast walk had photos and updates of the fi rst journey. “They will move you to tears at times,” he said.

“We displayed daily updates in the store and collected donations while they were away. We now have one of their shirts and their shoes on perma-nent display.”

Plans are in hand for the welcome-home celebration at Rye Football Club which will be a grand affair compared to their earlier walk when Jay and

Luke fi nished – alone – on the Gold Coast. “There was no fanfare when they arrived there, of course. This time they are travelling the ‘right’ way – towards home – so we can give them the welcome they deserve.

“We want to support them as much as we can. These guys are doing this for the community and at great fi nancial and personal cost,” Mr Swagemakers said. “We found out they were doing their training on a couple of KMart bikes as they had been knocked back by all the bike companies they approached.

“We have managed to get them a couple of proper road bikes from Avanti, one of our suppliers, and we

have got Skins and some padded compression gear for them.”

As a fi tting reward for Jay, the R U Ok? organisation has asked him to train to become an ambassador for the cause, speaking at schools and clubs and raising awareness. He is “abso-lutely over the moon” about this.

Asking someone “are you ok?” is not about being an expert or knowing the answers when they say “no”. It’s about listening and being non-judg-mental; asking questions to help the person identify possible solutions, and keeping in touch with them.

Those in distress should phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Damned uteMYSTERY surrounds an apparent accident on Peninsula Link in the early hours of Sunday morning (June 22) which left a P-plated Holden ute at the bottom of a dam in Baxter. A member of the public noticed the submerged vehicle near the Baxter-Tooradin Rd off-ramp shortly after midday on Sunday and contacted police, who initially feared the driver may still be inside. Police search and rescue divers were called in but the vehicle empty. As of Monday, Hastings highway patrol offi cers had been unable to get in contact with the registered owner of the vehicle. Police said the ute had not been reported stolen. Pictures: Gary Sissons

ROSEBUD police have expressed anger and dismay after intercept-ing an allegedly heavily intoxicated Dromana mother driving with four young children in her car on Thursday afternoon.

The 42-year-old local woman was stopped by police in Thomas St, Dromana, about 4pm and yesterday with four children aged between two and eight in the car.

It is understood she was picked up shortly after collecting her children from a nearby child care centre. The woman was given a preliminary breath test which showed a positive result.

She was then taken to Rosebud police station where she allegedly returned a reading of 0.174 during an offi cial evidentiary breath analysis.

Police say their swift actions had potentially saved the lives of the four young children in the car.

Rosebud Highway Patrol Sergeant Pete Martin said the incident had both shocked and angered police.

“It’s certainly very disturbing to detect someone in such a high range driving a vehicle, let alone the fact there were children on board whose safety was obviously at risk,” he said.

The woman had her license au-tomatically suspended and will be charged on summons with numerous traffi c related offences.

Police said the matter would also be referred to the Department of Human Services to investigate the circum-stances surrounding the incident.

TWO Mornington primary schools are providing “evidence-based” care to pupils who are injured or become ill at school.

Benton Junior College and Morning-ton Park Primary School have begun trialling the Healthcare Resource for Schools (HR4Schools) program that “guides and supports staff in providing care for pupils in an informed and con-sistent manner”.

The program contains more than 100 clearly written guidelines for the rapid

assessment, treatment and manage-ment of illness and injury.

As well, it offers injury and illness-related reports for principals, adminis-trators and school boards, and compre-hensive health information letters and advice sheets, for parents and carers.

“When putting in data there’s a special section telling us what care is required for a certain pupil and when we get reports we can look at them, or even detect ‘hotspots’ of accident activity, such as a dangerous area of the playground, that we can modify,” Mornington Park Primary principal Beverley Dadds said. “Or, if a child presents straight after recess on a par-

ticular day every week, we now have data showing the time and frequency.

“It may be that the child hates a par-ticular subject and seeks to avoid it. Now we can correlate these bouts of anxiety and look at how we can man-age them.”

Eddie Dunn, executive director of program developer The Mordun Group, said it supported consistency and quality-of-care in treating injuries or illnesses.

“We want school staff caring for children during a healthcare episode to do the right thing, for the right reasons, at the right time, in an informed and consistent manner.”

Benton Junior College principal Marcus Batt: “Schools have a moral and legal obligation to exercise a duty of care to ensure that appropriate medi-cal assistance is provided to sick or in-jured pupils.”

He said HR4Schools provided de-tailed support from a medical perspec-tive to assist a child presenting with a health issue.

“The databases align and provide an appropriate response. This helps guide staff in providing a higher level of health care. We can see the statisti-cal evidence and look for patterns of behaviour. We can analyse the data from a range of different perspectives

and ask ourselves, ‘What can we do to heighten our duty of care’.”

Mr Dunn, a parent of the school, had run a long, well managed process to develop the care response package, Mr Batt said. “It has been well thought out and the school council has been keen to trial it. It is meeting and exceeding our expectations.”

He said pupils with extensive medi-cal records or existing issues would re-ceive an individual management plan which the school would know how to respond to. Information would be shared on a need-to-know basis, with teachers being kept in the loop.

TANDOORI INDIAN RESTAURANT Continued from Page 1The Nepean Highway was awash at the bottom

of Oliver’s Hill as waves crashed over the retain-ing wall and fl ooded the car park area and road-way, while Frankston pier was also extensively damaged.

“I’ve lived in Frankston all my life and I’ve never seen the water that high before,” Mr Holt said.

United Energy spokesman Damien Batey said the peninsula region had “felt the brunt of the extreme weather”, with about 10,500 properties left without power, while a further 800 homes in Frankston also affected.

Sustained power interruptions were experi-enced in Frankston South, Hastings, Balnarring, Bittern and Sorrento, he said. “A substantial num-ber of the interruptions across the region were single premise, customer outages,” Mr Batey said. “The worst damage done by the storm oc-curred between 10 and 11.30am on Tuesday when extreme winds lashed the region.

“We also had some customers experience out-ages of longer than 20 hours on the peninsula. We apologise for the inconvenience and as an act of good we are accelerating the compensation pay-ments they would typically only receive on an annual basis.

“Our crews worked tirelessly and in diffi cult conditions to restore power and we are very grateful for their efforts.”

Sorrento SES spokesman David Lammers said crews had worked throughout the night and well into Wednesday to help clean up damage.

“It’s been chaotic ever since the storm hit, espe-cially in areas like Rye and Balnarring.

“We got our fi rst call about 10am on Tuesday

and there was steady build up of jobs across the day.

“Most of the damage was fallen trees and building damage, such as sections off roofs be-ing blown off or tree and branches falling onto homes.”

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonnia Celi said shire teams had worked closely with the SES in a collaborative effort clear up fallen trees, de-bris and building damage.

“Since the storm on Tuesday, the shire has re-ceived more than 560 requests from the commu-nity, with the majority being related to vegetation damage/clean-up due to strong winds,” Cr Celi said.

“The Shire’s environmental health team also worked with food businesses that had lost power.

“The shire is responding to requests and will be involved in ongoing response and recovery from this storm event.

“On behalf of the community, I thank the emer-gency services and shire team members who have been involved in the clean-up, and ask the com-munity to keep up-to-date, listen to key weather warnings and stay safe during severe weather conditions.”

The SES has advised peninsula residents to se-cure loose items around properties, be mindful of hazards on roads, especially those that a poorly lit, and to not park or shelter under trees during a storm.

To request assistance from the SES, call 132 500. To report storm damage to shire property, call 1300 850 600. For life-threatening emergencies call 000.

TALKOF THETOWN

Weather bomb: Mornington pier was lashed by monster swells as a fi erce “winter weather bomb” hit the peninsula last Tuesday. The elements conspired to produce wild conditions on Port Phillip as gale-force winds gusting up to 122km/h combined with driving rain and a king tide to overwhelm bayside towns and suburbs. Down the road at Frankston, the Nepean Highway was awash as waves crashed over the retaining wall beneath Oliver’s Hill, fl ooding the car park area and roadway, while Frankston pier was also extensively damaged. The Mornington Peninsula was the state’s worst hit region during the brief but violent storm, with electricity cut to thousands of properties and emergency services receiving hundreds of calls for help.

IT may be all up hill and down dale – but riders at the Red Hill Mountain Bike Club wouldn’t have it any other way.

They are fl at out preparing for the Victorian schools mountain bike championships at their Hill View track around Dromana Secondary Col-lege on Sunday 27 July.

It’s the third time they have hosted the races which draw a big fi eld, with 150 competitors last year – up from 100 two years earlier.

Riders race laps of the 3km track with the dis-tance depending on their age. Enthusiast Adrian Wale – a teacher at the school – said the Red Hill club had 200 members and a penchant for success in competition. Two of the clan – Liam Jeffrey and Ellie Wale, Adrian’s daughter – are national champions: Liam in the under-17s and Ellie in the under-19s cross country even though she only turned 17 last Friday.

“Ellie started riding at eight. She loved the challenge of being able to ride with the boys – and she likes to go fast,” he said.

“She won the Victorian Downhill Series for women in March and in April raced in the World Cup at Cairns coming second in the juniors and 20th in a fi eld of 28 women.

“It was a scary track but she loved it,” he said.The racing competition will do Ellie the world

of good when she competes in the world moun-tain bike championships at Hafjell, Norway, in September. To help pay her way, the Red Hill Riders will hold a fundraiser in August.

The next step in the mountain bike series of races is west, to the You Yangs Kurrajong Park, on Sunday 17 August, and then east to Lyster-fi eld on 31 August. The state fi nals will be held at Bendigo on Saturday 11 October.

AAA Peninsula Hearing 18 Davey Street, FRANKSTONAlso at Karingal, Rosebud & Baxter Village

Ph. 9783 7677

VOTERS participating in the August poll for a new Red Hill ward councillor are being urged to “look for character and ability and try to see through the inevitable running mate strategy of politicised groups”.

The tips for choosing the right candidate come from David Gill, a one-time shire president of the former Shire of Mornington and member of the Balnarring Beach Community Association.

Mr Gill, who has criticised state government planning policies on the Mornington Peninsula, told The News on Monday that “at this stage I won’t be a candidate”.

At this stage, it will be a three-way contest for Red Hill ward between Joe Lenzo, Peter Hollo-way and Mark Fancett.

The seat became vacant in May following the resignation of Frank Martin, who was fi rst elect-ed in 2008.

Red Hill ward makes up about 45 per cent of the area of the shire by area.

While not ruling out his candidacy, Mr Gill said “there is likely to be a higher than usual number of candidates because of a delicate bal-ance between open minded and pro–offi cer sit-ting councillors”.

“Let’s look at the record of candidates and not what they say. Look for character and ability and try to see through the inevitable ‘running mate’ strategy of politicised groups,” Mr Gill said.

“The problem in choosing a new councillor is how do we differentiate between candidates? History shows that they say the same things, such as lower rates, care for the environment, we’ll listen to you.

“Then comes the disappointment and nothing seems to happen much to the delight of council offi cers who are more or less left to pursue their own we know what is good for you agenda.”

Former shire presidentFormer shire presidentadvices on ‘how to vote’advices on ‘how to vote’

Mr Gill accused the council of having “devel-oped mechanisms to delay and obviate the will of the community while pursuing their own – mean-ing council offi cer – objectives”.

Relatively small projects could take four years because “we are expected to believe that you allow 12 months for the budget process, 12 months for planning, 12 months for design and 12 months to build”.

“Of course, many civic minded people are worn out by this never ending process and begin to believe that their local community may never achieve worthwhile aims and improvements,” Mr Gill said.

“Talk to people from your local Community As-sociation, they usually have a fair idea of the sort of person who will ‘have a go’ on your behalf.”

A taste of the good life

POOR diet choices and regular consumption of fast food or junk food closely correlate to men-tal health issues, a positive mental health forum at Mornington Secondary College was told last week.

This is most evident among girls and women, according to associate professor Felice Jacka, of Deacon University.

Her work in the fi eld of nutritional psychology is developing an evidence-based public health message for the primary prevention of common mental disorders.

She noted that those with healthy ‘traditional’ diets – like the Mediterranean diet – are about 30 per cent less likely to suffer depression or anxiety.

Jointly run by the Rotary Club of Mornington and Australian Rotary Health, the forum focused on better understanding strategies to address and prevent the onset of mental health issues, includ-ing anxiety and depression.

About 230 people at the forum heard from psy-chologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg and professor Jane Fisher.

Professor Fisher identifi ed a range of factors af-fecting women’s mental health during pregnancy, and in the fi rst 12 months after the birth of a child. She said postpartum maternal health could infl u-

Mental challenge: Michael Carr-Gregg, Felice Jacka and Jane Fisher discussed issues affecting mental health at the Mornington forum.

ence early childhood development. She said a stronger mother-child connection, and higher lev-els of maternal responsivity, was associated with higher infant cognitive ability and lower rates of behavior problems in pre-school children.

Dr Carr-Gregg produced statistics associated with adolescent girls and boys showing an in-crease in the incidence of teenage girls’ mental health disorders.

They showed that 75 per cent of mental illnesses emerged before the age of 25, and that around 80

per cent of males and 70 per cent of females aged 16-24, with mental disorders, do not seek help.

Dr Carr-Gregg challenged the community to encourage young adults to speak more openly about their emotional health. Substance abuse among boys and self-harm among girls was also discussed.

Club member John Parkinson told the audi-ence: “This is one of the better things our club has conducted in recent years.”

Greater need forGreater need forBlack Spot moneyBlack Spot moneyQUESTIONS have been raised over the choice of an intersection in Mt Eliza for Black Spot funding when accident statistics show there are more dangerous intersections nearby.

“Several other locations warrant works and should have had a higher priority,” former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Leigh Eustace said.

The shire’s successful bid for $767,000 to build a roundabout at the intersection of Mt Eliza Way with Wimborne and Kenaud avenues was announced last month by Dunkley MP, Bruce Billson.

“This section of Mt Eliza Way is very busy with traffi c heading into the village and vehi-cles, cyclists and pedestrians accessing schools, community facilities, medical services and other local neighbourhoods,” Mr Billson said.

The total cost of the roundabout is estimated at $810,000, with the shire paying the extra $43,000.

Mr Eustace said the decision to fund the roundabout was based on four accidents being recorded at the intersection over four years.

Records show that injuries were sustained in one accident, although people were taken to hospital in three of the four crashed.

Mr Eustace says the people were taken to hos-pital mainly because they were over 75 years old.

The fourth accident involved a cyclist riding at night without lights.

“This is a wasteful use of precise Common-wealth funds in the times of a budget emergen-cy,” Mr Eustace said.

“Other alternatives were not considered, such as extending the 50 kilometre speed zone just west of the proposed roundabout before the village.”

Mr Eustace said intersections which had seen fatalities and numerous accidents but did not attract Black Spot funding included Tower Rd, Volitans Av and Nepean Highway; Wooralla Drive and Two Bays Rd.

TYABB Cricket Club wants Mornington Pen-insula Shire to help pay for new cricket nets at Bunguyan Reserve after the old nets were taken down following the murder of Luke Batty earlier this year.

President Sam Taranto said the club had already raised almost $100,000 towards the estimated $120,000 cost of building replacement cricket training nets at the Tyabb sports ground and had put in a funding request as part of the shire’s draft budget process.

The old nets were removed as a sign of respect af-ter 11-year-old Luke was killed by his father during a cricket practice session at the ground in February.

“We’re almost there so we’ve asked the council to make a contribution to the costs of the new nets,” Mr Taranto said, adding that the club had raised about $40,000 from a celebrity T20 cricket match in March, as well as receiving a $20,000 grant from the state government and $19,800 from both Cricket Australia and Cricket Victoria.

“It’s a fi tting tribute to young Luke and we’re getting there gradually. Various people have been coming on board and we have a few applications in the pipeline so we’re hopeful we’ll be able to have the funding in place soon, especially if the council is able to help out.”

A council report prepared in the response to the club’s submission states that under shire occupan-cy terms, the cost of maintaining cricket nets is the responsibility of the clubs.

“But in this instance, given the tragic circum-stances and the club’s proactive decision to build a multi-purpose training venue available for other

sports, fi nancial support could be considered by council.”

Councillor Lynn Bowden said she would be “strongly supporting” the funding request. “I’ll certainly be pushing as hard as I can,” she said. “It’s obviously very important for the community after all the tragic events so I think the council really needs to show its support and do something positive to help the healing process.”

A decision will be made by 30 June.Mr Taranto also revealed Luke’s mother, Ro-

sie Batty, had recently joined the Tyabb Cricket Club committee after expressing a strong desire to maintain her connection to the club with which her son had played as a junior.

Ms Batty said she wanted to give back some-thing to club after all the help and support she had been given following the loss of her son, Luke, and the death of her estranged partner, Greg Anderson, who was fatally shot by police.

“This whole community has been so wonder-fully supportive towards me through all of this, es-pecially the cricket club, so I wanted to be able to help out where ever I’m needed,” she said.

“It also gives me a chance to stay connected with the club that meant so much to Luke and keep in touch and help out his friends, who are also still grieving.

Ms Batty also revealed that last Friday, 20 June, would have been Luke’s 12th birthday.

“It was a tough weekend for me, but it was love-ly to be able to meet up again with some of Luke’s friends at a small party held in his honour,” she said.

THE People Place Music Club’s “Big as Texas Concert” is getting bigger each year. Organiser Jamez Harrison said prep-arations for the fourth annual concert, which will be held next month, are well underway.

Mr Harrison said fi ve peninsula music clubs get together each year for a “good old fashioned hoedown”.

“The concert features a mixture of porch music, folk, blues, country music and basically all kinds of music,” he said.

The bill includes The Chris Newman Show, Veranda Music Club, Peninsula Folk Club, Fathers of the Chapel, Ber-wick Music Club and The People Place Music Club members.

The People Place Music Club – much like Cuba’s legendary Buena Vista Social Club – is a welcoming place for musicians to meet and exchange ideas, play together and encourage the less experienced to get up on stage.

“We have had everything from carpen-ters ‘playing’ hacksaws to 90-year-old strippers,” Mr Harrison said.

It is to be hoped the two acts do not share a stage at the same time for health and safety reasons.

The club was established 15 years ago and Mr Harrison, a livewire 60 year old, has been involved for the past four years after retirement.

“I love it – it’s a great way to meet so many enthusiastic people who have talent in musical spades.”

He also volunteers to visit nursing homes and psychiatric institutions to “try to cheer people up” by playing banjo, pi-

ano, keyboards and several other in-struments. He’s a veritable one-man band and force of cheerful nature.

“I also go busking in Frankston. I haven’t got much money but I’ve been very blessed in life,” Mr Har-rison said.

“Much as I love Judge Judy, I

couldn’t face sitting at home every day watching daytime TV after I re-tired.”Tickets for The People Place Music Club’s ‘Big As Texas’ concert to be held on Sunday 20 July, 1pm-4.30pm at Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre, 26 Mahogany Ave, Frankston North

are available for $8 each (concessions $6).

Call 9786 1445. All proceeds go to the peninsula music clubs to help with running costs.

City’s health boostCity’s health boostFRANKSTON City’s health sector is booming and the mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, thinks the time is right for ma-jor health organisations to set up shop in the city centre.

“The shift in the industry has been so great it has now overtaken retail trade as the largest employer in Frankston with more than 7000 jobs,” he said.

“Whether it be private health provid-ers or public agencies like the Depart-ment of Health or Peninsula Health, there are fantastic opportunities to set up health administration offi ces in the heart of Frankston’s growing Health and Education Precinct, recently de-fi ned under Plan Melbourne.

“Our city has the expertise in this in-dustry and we need more white-collar jobs and more people working in the city centre. These types of organisa-tions are a perfect fi t.”

Frankston’s health sector has seen 20 per cent growth in employment and revenue in recent years and by 2016 one-in-every-four jobs in the city is ex-pected to be in the health industry.

“Frankston Private and Peninsula Private hospitals have announced up-grades totalling nearly $100 million, in addition to the $81 million upgrade to Frankston Hospital which is cur-rently under way,” Cr Taylor said.

“With Monash University – Pen-insula Campus and Chisholm TAFE offering courses like nursing, physi-otherapy, paramedics, occupational therapy, pharmacy, dental and pathol-ogy, among others, we have more skilled local people with the expertise to fi ll these new jobs, and our future health professionals won’t have to travel long distances to study.”

Cr Taylor also said council would like Monash University to expand its local courses to include medicine.

Continued from Page 5“The program gives our fi rst aid people the confi -

dence and knowledge to better care for patients and to offer advice for their ongoing care,” Mr Batt said.

He described HR4Schools as a “powerful tool”. “The resources available to our fi rst-aid-trained staff empower them to respond to pupils’ needs confi dently and thoroughly.”

Ms Dadds was equally enthusiastic. “HR-4Schools enables us to provide top quality care to all pupils who come to the sick bay. All our staff are trained in fi rst aid, CPR and anaphylaxis.

“The program adds to the quality and standard of care that we provide. At the click of a button we are able to produce a letter that informs the parent/carer about an incident and what treatment was administered.

“We now have data that shows how many stu-dents present at sick bay on any given day, why they come, where the injury or illness occurred, which class they are in, which part of their body is affected, the type of treatment they have re-

ceived and what happens to them afterwards.”Ms Dadds said staff were beginning to see

trends and were able to adapt their practices to reduce risk factors. “For example, one child with asthma frequently came to sick bay 10 minutes into recess. We ran an individual student report. The parent was able to take their child back to their GP with the report to have their asthma plan modifi ed.

“The child now receives preventer medication 10 minutes prior to going out to play and is able to remain at school for the whole day.

“The health care plan allows us to advise par-ents of the type of injury received, gives clear in-structions on future care, and the date and time of advising parents.

“Parents of children with particular health is-sues, such as anaphylaxis, must present a health care plan and, by law, the school has to keep a record of incidents and be able to provide a com-puterised report.”

NEW bride Alana Thorne and groom Shane Nunn united three Mornington families - and were surrounded by fi ve grandmothers - at their recent wed-ding at Chateau Wyuna, Mt Evelyn.

In the photo above are, from left, are Cia Smith of Mornington (Shane’s maternal grandmother), Dawn Nunn of Cairns (Shane’s paternal grand-mother), Alana the bride, Lorraine Lee of Geelong (Alana’s maternal grandmother), Val Wilson of Morn-ington (Alana’s step grandmother) and Barbara Thorne of Mornington (Alana’s paternal grandmother).“It’s not often a girl has fi ve grandmothers at her wedding,” Mrs Wilson said.

Shane and Alana live in Baxter.

Shane is a nurseryman and Alana is a retail supervisor.

Alana grew up in Adelaide with her mum Michelle (Thorne) and stepdad Mark Roshier (Mrs Wilson’s son), both formerly of Mornington. One of the grandmothers, Cia Smith, who is Shane’s grandmother, is also the mum of Mark’s best friend, Ron Van t’Padge, who also lives in Adelaide.

“So, with Shane, who grew up in Frankston, visiting his uncle Ron in Adelaide, and Alana visiting her grandmother Barbara Thorne in Morn-ington, the couple have known each other since they were children,” Mrs Wilson said.

“All the families have known each

other forever.”The couple have been together for

a number of years now and have two children - Brodie and Audrina - who were part of the wedding ceremony.

The wedding photo, right, shows Alana and Shane with the children, her mum Michelle and stepdad Mark on the right with their three sons at the back. On the left is Alana’s father, Ian Thorne.

“The best thing about the whole day was that both Mark and Ian walked her down the aisle and when the celebrant asked who gave this bride away they both stood up and said ‘we do’. It was a great day,” Mrs Wilson said.

‘CHAPEL Corner’ is named to refl ect its past as a place of worship and to this day the home still retains some of the original features that make this such a rare and intriguing home. Dating back to the 1890s, the home has been steadily extended and re-modelled over the years to incorporate a more contemporary way of living and in its current form will suit a large family who are keen to utilise the beautiful natural surroundings and the splendid 5.86 hectare block. The living areas are all located downstairs, and they are nothing short of impressive. A dazzling variety of styles and decors has created warm and inviting areas with equally classy entertaining zones. A comfortable lounge room overlooks the grounds and consists of a wood fi re. Through a set of sliding doors is a character-driven family area with both casual meals and formal dining spaces, a second lounge area and the bright kitchen has a stainless-steel dishwasher and plenty of under-bench cupboards. The master bedroom with ensuite and built-in robes is also on this ground fl oor and there are four bedrooms upstairs sharing a second bathroom. The upstairs lounge room is perfect for children. The area surrounding the home includes a timber deck set amongst the abundant lawns and gardens and the calming, picturesque dam - featuring an island gazebo with power and water - is a postcard moment unto itself. This is a working property however and the outbuildings are also of a high quality. A high-span workshop comes complete with an offi ce and bathroom, and a second barn could be fi tted out for equestrian purposes with stables and hay sheds in place to complement the existing exercise arena. There is plenty of water, with tanks plus a bore, and the extensive post and rail fencing, which is very suitable for horses, serves another purpose as the perfect fi nal touch to this outstanding rural-residential property.

THE mayor of Frankston and fi ve for-mer mayors are blaming the city’s woes on 40 years of broken promises by state politicians.

In a letter to the Premier Denis Napthine and Labor leader Daniel Andrews the mayors vividly describe crime and drug use in Young St and say there is “never any substantial action” no matter which party is in power.

The mayors say $3 million has been wasted on three reports.

The most costly report, at $800,000, recommended spending $600,000 de-veloping a “safe and attractive transit interchange”.

Pointedly, the mayors left Frankston MP Geoff Shaw off their mailing list.

The former Liberal now independ-ent has been suspended from parlia-ment until September over the misuse of his government car.

Both the Labor and Liberal parties will hoping to win the marginal seat at the November election.

Christine Richards (mayor in 2010) said it was hoped the leaders of the two major parties would come to Frankston “to start a dialogue with us”.

Other ormer mayors lining up with the current council leader Darrel Tay-lor are Colin Hampton (2009), Kris-topher Bolam (2011), Brian Cunial (2012) and Sandra Mayer (2013).

The mayors say the key to Frankston’s future lies with “a safe and attractive transit interchange that can

Mayors sign up to fix city’s woesMayors sign up to fix city’s woes‘With correct intervention, Frankston will thrive and

take its rightful place as the capital of the Mornington

Peninsula’

accommodate travellers from through-out the Mornington Peninsula”.

The mayor’s say Frankston’s prob-lems with the drug ice are compound-ed by six pharmacies dispensing hero-in substitutes within 500 metres of the railway station.

They say the situation makes it easy for the Health Department but not for “others who use Frankston’s streets for whom the policy does not work - com-muters; shoppers; businesses - and the local leaders advocating on their behalf”.

“Unquestionably, drug addicts need to be treated discreetly and humanely. However, at the moment the system is tipped too far in their favour,” the mayors state in their letter to the po-litical leaders, suggesting dispensing pharmacies be a minimum one kilo-metre apart.

“For 40 years state governments have directed that Frankston’s station precinct be improved. For 40 years, the bureaucrats have not complied. And for 40 years Frankston has lan-guished.”

Ms Richards said one of the three reports – “a secret document” – had been sitting on the desk of Planning Minister Matthew Guy for more than 12 months.

Councillors had been shown the May 2012 report in but were not al-lowed to keep copies.

Ms Richards said she had been able to obtain the report – Frankston Ac-tivities Area Urban Renewal Program Strategy, prepared by Places Victoria for the FAA Project Control Board - for two and a half hours during which

time she made 16 pages of notes.She said the report concluded that

the Frankston Activities centre was “socially and economically disadvan-taged” and suffered from a “widely held perception” that it was “unsafe and is a poor location to invest”.

The report showed that the govern-ment’s $3 million election promise had been spent producing a Structure Plan, the Urban Renewal Program Strategy and the “pathetic” Transit In-terchange Masterplan.

Outside of the Bayside shopping centre shop and offi ce vacancies were high and rents low.

The report said Frankston residents were more fearful than other Victori-ans; earned about 20 per cent less than residents in other activity centres; and endured a crime rate 30 per cent above the state average.

The situation would not change without investment by the state gov-ernment.

This “investment” to “redress 20 years of socio-economic decline” was set at $46 million in the fi rst fi ve years followed by $108 million over the fol-lowing decade.

The report estimated the return on investment at more than $1 billion in private sector spending, 7430 jobs, 7420 new residents and 3610 new

residential dwellings.“With correct intervention,

Frankston will thrive and take its rightful place as the capital of the Mornington Peninsula, making a sig-nifi cant contribution to the local, met-ropolitan, and state based economy,” the report stated.

Ms Richards said state government bureaucrats were holding the city back: “A 15 year strategy to renew Frankston’s city centre proves that democracy in Frankston is in tatters. The document has been prepared for a committee of unelected bureaucrats behind closed doors.”

“Decisions are being made by the state in the name of Frankston but it’s not talking to councillors. They’re be-ing ignored by the bureaucrats.

“The greatest impediment to the progress of Frankston is its train sta-tion. No policy maker or politician in Frankston could fail to hear it. Yet the development of a safe and attractive transit interchange is presently miss-ing from the draft [report].”

Mr Bolam, in a separate letter to The News, said the state government’s an-nouncement of $13 million to revamp the Frankston railway precinct “was disappointing”.

“Despite the explicit will of both the Frankston Council and the wider Frankston community to relocate the bus terminus and taxi rank from Young St to Fletcher Rd in order to ease con-gestion, and to spread the movement of human traffi c, the government has instead gone with a cheap and rudi-mentary funding route.”

A 56-year-old Frankston South man was seriously injured when a 2 tonne metal lathe fell on top of him.

Police said the man had been at-tempting to unload the bulky lathe from the back of a trailer in the driveway of his Towerhill Rd home about 11.30am on Thursday when it fell over on top of him.

The man had just purchased the lathe and was transporting it back to his home in a hire trailer.

“For some reason, yet to be established, he removed the trailer from the car then got in the rear of the trailer,” Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb of Frankston Police said.

“The trailer tipped up, the lathe slipped, hit the man, and pinned him across his pelvis.

“He was air lifted to the Alfred Hospital with serious injuries. His condition is stable.”

Frankston SES controller Phil Holt it had taken more than 45 minutes to remove the lathe from on top of the man due to “penetrating injuries”.

“It was a complicated operation for our crew because of the weight of the object and also because part of it had penetrated the victim,” Mr Holt said.

“He was still inside the trailer, pinned between the bed of the trailer and the lathe, and was there for about 15 minutes before we arrived.

“He was conscious throughout the operation but obviously in a fair amount of pain. We’re not sure of the extent of his injuries but they don’t appear to have been lethal.

“He’s certainly a very lucky man. He could easily have been killed.”

***RESIDENTS in the vicinity of the Frankston Park complain bitterly of the disreputable conduct of some men who use the pavilion as a resting place. They frequently go there drunk,

As it is a matter of great interest to the public, and to farmers especially, to know the total area under these two important crops, each farmer is re-quested to fi ll in his card and return it immediately after the 30th June, so that the information can be compiled and published at the earliest possible date. It is particularly requested that the cards sent to farmers be returned, whether they have sown or not. Sched-ules are also being sent to the Railway Department, and, by post, to fl our mills and wheat stores, with the view of ascertaining the quantities of stocks of wheat and fl our on hand at the end of last month,. Holders of wheat in bulk who do not receive a Schedule are requested to communicate with the Government Statist. The Government Statist hopes that all concerned will do their utmost to assist him to make reli-able estimates of the area sown and the stocks of wheat and fl our on hand, by answering his questions fully and re-turning the cards and forms promptly.

By Stuart McCulloughI’VE often wondered what went wrong. Cinderella was tying one on, having the time of her life at the Ball before the wheels and, more impor-tantly, slipper came off. Until then, the night had been nothing short of a triumph. She’d blitzed Karaoke with a masterful rendition of ‘Two Princes’ by The Spin Doctors before crump-ing herself into oblivion to the sounds of Skrillex. Her dance fl oor moves caught the eye of a handsome Prince and they were just about to exchange digits when, due to a strictly enforced magical curfew, she had to scarper before her Ford Festiva turned into a pumpkin, taking her e-tag with it. In all that haste, poor Cindy left her shoe behind.

How does anyone manage to lose a shoe? This is either an act of high incompetence or, possibly, not eve-rything in fairy tales should be taken at face value. Given that most fairy tales are fairly old, it’s reasonable to assume that as the story has been told and retold, some exaggeration has crept in. Time, I think, lends itself to embellishment. It can make the mun-dane heroic or the simple spectacular. It’s precisely this principle that has seen my ‘Best on Field’ award of a free hamburger from Brammell’s milk bar for the under 9s match between Tyabb and Tootgarook Junior Football Clubs elevated, over many years, to runner up for the Brownlow medal. I doubt Cinderella was wearing a pair of slippers that fateful evening. To lose footwear under those conditions, there’s only one plausible explanation: Cinderella was wearing gumboots.

‘If the shoe fi ts’ is all well and good when you’re talking about a pair of Bata Scouts but hopeless when it comes to gumboots. As kids, we all had a pair. Mud was all around us and you wouldn’t think of walking any-where outside without your gumboots. In the winter, they stopped water from seeping through to your socks. In summer, they were (at least in theory)

protection against snakes. At the back door of our house was a rack with sev-en pairs of gumboots. For years, the boots were in descending order of size from my father down to my youngest brother until we outgrew him. My fa-ther has what can only be described as ‘goblin feet’.

When I left home, my gumboots stayed behind. They were unlikely to

be any use to me at University, or so I thought. Over a number of decades, I watched as they withered. Anecdotes and fairy tales may get bigger over the years, but the opposite is true of un-loved footwear. Eventually, they were not so much gumboots as affordable housing for spiders. There comes a point when you should just accept that your gumboots are no longer yours and best off left as an arachnid time-share resort.

We decided to have a working bee at my father’s house. There was wood to be chopped and chores to be done. But before anything else, I needed new gumboots. Attending what looked like an aircraft hanger but was, so my brother assured me, a hardware store, I found rows of them. Some had steel-caps in the toes. Others had satellite navigation. It was clear that the art of gumboot making had come a long way. But not only did I purchase a pair of boots containing more metal than my fi rst car, I also got myself a pair of work gloves and a face shield that made me look like an Storm Trooper understudy on the set of Star Wars.

Between my father’s house and the bush is a paddock. In that paddock are a bunch of harmless cows who, when they’re not wasting time playing Angry Birds, spend the hours eating grass. There is, however, one bull. In his infi nite wisdom, my father decided to separate the bull from the cows for the week leading up to the working bee. Which means that old Boris the Bull was in a somewhat heightened state. These, it must be said, were not ideal conditions.

It’s been years since I’ve chopped

up fi rewood. This might explain how I managed to miss the particular log I was aiming for and break the axe in half. For this reason my brother decid-ed that – steel-cap gumboots or not – it would be better for everyone if I didn’t use the chainsaw. With wood duly chopped, I loaded up the wheelbarrow and set out on my perilous journey from the trees back to the house.

Sensing weakness, Boris the Bull stood and watched as I huffed and puffed my way over the creek and towards the top gate. He then started doing some huffi ng and puffi ng of his own. I should say that whilst I’ve seen Crocodile Dundee at least twice, I am not drawn to the idea of trying to sub-due a giant bovine by using the ‘Hang loose’ hand signal. It might have worked for Paul Hogan, but I pre-ferred a different approach – I bolted. Boris immediately took off in pursuit. I ran like a man who, quite literally, had lead in his shoes and could almost feel the steam from the beast’s nostrils as I raced up the hill. With one last su-perhuman effort, I leapt over the fence and my right foot slipped free of my boot. As I tumbled onto the front yard I was safe, but one gumboot short of a working bee. I immediately retired. Last I heard, Boris was travelling around the Peninsula asking people to try on the gumboot. It’s only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. When the moment arrives, I will only say that wish Boris and Cinderella all the happiness in the world.

an early age, she studied classical piano and percussion and at the age of 14 be-gan an all-girl band with her sister Patti calling themselves The Pleasure Seek-ers. Suzi was ‘told’ she would be playing bass guitar which was as tall as she was and also became the lead singer. In 1969 they changed their name to Cradle and it was this band that caught the attention of famed record producer Mickie Most who offered her a solo contract

Between 1973 and 1980 Suzi Qua-tro featured in the British charts for 101 weeks and to date sold over 55 million records including hits, 48 Crash, Too Big, Devil Gate Drive, Daytona Demon, The Wild One, She’s In Love With You, Rock Hard and her duet with Chris Nor-man, Stumblin’ In.

In 1977 Suzi then spread her wings and headed for the small screen playing Fonzie’s girlfriend, Leather Tuscadero in Happy Days. She continued to act in other television series including Minder, Dempsey and Makepeace, Absolutley Fabulous and Midsomer Murders.

In 1986 Suzi made her West End de-but playing the lead of Annie Oakley in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun receiving critical acclaim.

Suzi was one of the fi rst rock and roll acts to tour to Russia where she per-formed to 500,000 people in six weeks in 1989.

AS an actor in years past I’m appalled at the $28.2 million cut to Australia Coun-cil funding; moreso when considering the $245 million allocated for school chaplains to provide spiritual guidance. True, Christopher (Pyne) says no pros-elytising, but there will be. They won’t do any more damage than a mosque in Bendigo apart from bringing all the ratbags (Aussie self-styled Christian ratbags) out in force. The problem is the emerging pattern: Science, CSIRO, Cli-mate Commission, the ABC and those Coalition (‘Bad mouth the Labor Party’) Commissions. We all form part of Tony Abbott’s revenge; a beating, a kicking, hopefully never to recover. Our mate Billy (Shorten) appears to favour this spending on the chaplains. Also no ob-jection to detention facilities and body-guarded Julie Bishop’s call to reclassify East Jerusalem as ‘disputed’ rather than ‘occupied’. So much for taking sides. “Revenge is sweet” said the Lord, or as Shakespeare said: “Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot, that it do singe your-self” Hopefully, or lost in space.

***I WORRY about AFL footballers. Each club now has a leading players group calling the shots, like prefects. In my schooldays prefects were always a bit suspect; the disdain on their faces clear-ly visible when I walked by. I would privately think of them as “poofters” without having a clue what the word

meant, attributable to anyone who gave the appearance of being “up them-selves”. Now I see AFL footballers out on the ground, cuddling. They call it a huddle but it looks like cuddling to me. Before the game and at the start of the third quarter. Even three quarter time? Perhaps, and it’s simply a suggestion (in line with the many AFL special days), we might consider extending those days to a “coming out” day? Joke Joyce.

***JOE Hockey’s budget remains a fascina-tion, particularly the end of entitlement nonsense. Is Joe of Dutch descent, as in double dutch? The super tax con-cessions for high income earners are entitled; likewise concessional tax on capital gains, negative gearing, and company cars - all unchanged, entitled. The young mums, the unemployed, nurses, teachers, pensioners and the like join this unentitled fantasy queue, or is it a nightmare? Austerity, building to a crescendo, but without the music. Sonny Joe, you’ve stepped over the mark.

***I LIKED the line in Old School (ABC TV 8.30 Friday 13/6) from Sam Neil’s justifi able complaining wife “We’re meant to be enjoying this time of our lives”. Joe, the $10 million dollar man (plus self managed super and family trust) would agree with the lady. I won-der if Joe was watching? Nah, it was a Friday. Fish for tea, with Kilikanoon

‘testament’ shiraz or veuve clicquot.***

MATCH fi xing in cricket? Where there’s betting with money there are crooks, but not in Australia? Probably India, or Sri Lanka; likely in Pakistan with all those beards? It’s un-Australian! Our players don’t take drugs; illegal drugs anyway. Fine fellows, including Essendon foot-ballers. Good old Sportsbet, using a “Je-sus baloon” fl oating above Melbourne. No shame there. Rampant capitalism and corporate greed live on, forever. Tony tells us demonstrators are un-Australian. How would he know? Such a silly stupid word. C’est la vie.

***ANTI-SMOKING activists consistently criticise the tobacco industry for mis-leading data, lately on plain packaging results; a fi ne example of the pot and the kettle. Both are consistently loose with the truth. It’s all about the price of a pack of cigarettes, darlings! After the fi rst month nobody noticed the pictures. Chop chop.

***CAROLINE Wilson returned to her vin-dictive best in her longstanding quest to bring down Collingwood champ Dane Swan. As always doubtful assumptions and a quote from “a source” providing much pleasure for non Collingwood supporters. No-one cuddles Swanny!

***FROM lovely Bettina Arndt in The Age

on great sex: “Being focused and ab-sorbed in the moment; being in synch, as in two becoming one; mutual respect & trust; being tuned to each other’s feel-ings, moods & responses; being genu-ine, uninhibited; exploration, interper-sonal risk taking, fun. Great sex involves laughter; vulnerability and surrender”. Thanks Bettina. I’ve made enough mis-takes in life without you adding to them. “I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done” [Lucille Ball].

***NATASHA Layton of Occupational Therapy Australia talks of “substantial research” in regard to elderly drivers, concluding evidence of lane positioning, approach to intersections, hazards and blind spots as common errors. Goodness only knows what “substantial” means. I thank Natasha for her efforts on our be-half but suggest she might take to the roads between 3 and 4pm weekdays for additional research on school parents and tradies to assess the wider picture. My theory is that drivers drive in a fairly close alignment with their personality. Some people say the same applies to dog owners. I had a sweet, generous, loving, shih-tzu.

By Rebecca StephensIF you’re anything like me, you worried constantly about when your child would start talking, whether they were developing at the correct rate, whether you should seek help, and when. Son #1 started building his vocabulary a few months shy of his second birthday. We’re about to celebrate his third birthday and I now have trouble getting a word in. I needn’t have worried.

I have also discovered there are a few distinct stages of conversational develop-ment. When he fi rst started babbling that wonderful baby talk that nobody can under-stand except Mum (“Bada-nat goban-dob!” “Yes, dear, of course you can have another sultana!”) I cultivated the ability to provide an appropriately interested and encourag-ing response even when I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about: “Oh, really?” “Well, that is interesting, and what happened next?” “Mm-hmm, that’s lovely, sweetheart.”

Eventually he learned enough words to voice every thought which went through his active little brain and, around the same time, gave up his day time sleep. I then faced twelve – thirteen hours a day of non-stop chatter, with which I was expected to engage. At this stage, while surreptitiously reading The Age on my smartphone, all I had to do was face his general direction and, with varying tones of voice, alternate between, “Mmm-hmm,” “Yes, darling,” “That’s lovely,” and we were both happy.

One afternoon recently I sat down with my brand new copy of the fi nal Sookie Stackhouse novel (boo hoo!) while Son #2 (9 months old) was having a sleep and Son #1 was fl icking through a freshly acquired library copy of The Life of Bees. I had just managed to thumb my way through the title pages, acknowledgements and pages of gen-eral thanks from the author to fi nd the start

of the actual story when Son #1 pipes up with an observation broadly relating to bee bottoms and stings (I think; I wasn’t really listening). Impatient to get going on what-ever blood lust drama Sookie was going to get caught up in, I replied “Hmm-hmm, that’s great honey,” without looking up from my book. “No, Mummy, look at me, I talk to you.” Huh? What? I looked up with surprise. “Bee sting spider and spider don’t like it and spider eat bee. You talk [to] me ‘bout that Mummy.” Oh, I see, I’m expected to actu-ally be involved in this conversation now.

Like anything else, I have developed strategies to cope with this new stage. When I have had enough of answering in depth questions about life on planet Earth I decide to give adult responses to preschool conver-sation starters.

Son #1: Mummy, they need have blue ’tanas. My don’t want brown ones.

Me: Well, darling, I’m sure they could manage blue sultanas through genetic engi-neering. We could put together a business plan and pitch it to the Product Develop-ment Manager at Sanitarium. However, I suspect the preliminary market research will indicate that there just isn’t the mass appeal to justify development, production and marketing costs.

Son #1: Oh.Speechless. Nice one.

Rebecca Stephens lives in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne with her long-suffering husband and two young sons (3 years; 9 months), who are both quite delightful, especially when they are smiling or sleeping.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt HASTINGS’ bad run with injuries continued on Saturday in its one point loss to Dromana.

In a game that had everything, the Tigers’ Anthony Bruhn was the only player to kick a goal in the fi nal term, which was enough to get over the line 8.11 (59) to 7.16 (58).

Blues’ coach Brendan Dunne broke his arm in the fi rst quarter and won’t play again this season.

Dunne’s injury adds to those of Daniel Wishart and Alex Goodingham, who are both out for the season, while Dylan Hand and Peter Mawson will miss the next four or fi ve weeks with shoulder injuries.

Jason Kestle is still weeks away with bone spurs in his ankle.

It was a fi tting match for these two clubs, who came together to play in heritage jumpers to raise awareness and money for bowel cancer.

Both clubs auctioned their jumpers at the end of the game.

Obviously, as was the case with all games on Saturday, the wind played havoc and favoured one end of the ground.

Hastings kicked with the wind in the opening term at Pier St Oval but couldn’t take advantage of it. Losing Dunne also threw the Blues’ structures into a bit of chaos.

The Tigers booted 4.2 to Hastings’ fi ve behinds in the second quarter. This was probably the difference between the sides.

Dromana took advantage of its opportunities while the Blues wasted some of theirs. Hastings fi nished with 23 scoring shots to 19. They booted 5.10 to 5.6 in the second and third quarters.

Jay Neratzoglou was superb down back for the Tigers and led from the front while Jay Hutchinson and Daniel Guerts were also on top of their games. Steven Gaertner and Ash Waterstone kicked two goals each for the winners.

Colin McVeigh and Justin Berry were outstanding for the Blues again, while Will Jolley was also excellent.

Crib Point celebrated its hard fought 11-point win against Rosebud on Saturday with a major announcement.

Former Somerville skipper Aaron Murray has signed with the Magpies.

The Magpies were keen to replace key forward Torin Petrie, who decided a couple of weeks ago to head back home to St Arnaud and fi nish the season there.

After such a wonderful start to the season, Pies coach Duane Annable was keen to get a replacement quickly.

Murray hasn’t played a game

of footy since undergoing a knee reconstruction a couple of seasons ago.

Murray joins former teammate Glenn Boyd at the Pies. Boyd booted four goals and was instrumental in the win on Saturday.

When the game needed to be won in the last quarter, with his side trailing by eight points at the last change, Boyd booted three of his team’s fi ve last quarter goals.

The Pies led by one point at quarter time and by eight points at half time. Dean Warry and Brad Arnold were outstanding for the winners and James Cook was a tower in the ruck.

Ryan Spooner was close to the best man on the ground with four goals for the Buds while Tommy Baker and Daniel Hickey were also outstanding.

The Magpies remain in third place on the ladder, a game clear of Sorrento in fourth and two games clear of Rye in fi fth.

Rosebud on the other hand is now three games off third spot, currently sitting in seventh position on the table.

Frankston Bombers trailed all afternoon against Somerville on Saturday. However the booted 5.6 to 3.1 in the fi nal term to win 10.15 (75) to 10.13 (73).

Matt Harris was outstanding in the win for the Bombers with four goals, while James Degenhardt and Mitch Bosward dominated through the middle of the ground. Duncan Proud was also very good for the winners.

Travis Bravo fi nished with four goals for the Eagles while Brad Rowe, Luke Collie and Kane McKenzie picked up the votes.

Rye moved back inside the top fi ve with a fi ve goal win against Pearcedale.

Rhett Sutton and Ryan Semmel dominated through the middle and around the ground for the Demons while Adam Kirkwood returned to some of his best. Chris Gleeson fi nished with four majors while Andrew Dean played predominantly forward of centre and fi nished with two goals.

Troy Jacobson and Mitch White were the best of the Panthers and Pat Heijden booted three majors.

Red Hill maintained its position in the top three with a comfortable 56 point win against Devon Meadows.

Devon booted three goals in the second quarter and only booted a further two points for the rest of the match. They were smashed 11.11 (77) to 3.3 (21).

The defensive style of play from the Panthers continued, running two players behind the footy from the fi rst bounce. It’s unattractive and isn’t going to win games of footy.

Blues coach out for seasonBlues coach out for season

Missing the point: The Blues went down by just a minor score to Dromana on Saturday. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Red Hill on the other hand attacked from the fi rst bounce.

Daniel Allsop, a 16-year-old in his fi rst year in the Hillmen’s Under 18s, made his debut, booted a goal and didn’t look out of place in the seniors.

Michael Mock was outstanding for the winners, as was Nick Bateman,

while Jarryd Douglas fi nished with three majors.

Steve McInnes and Clint Walker were the best of Devon, while Alex Doria played his best game for the season.

Sorrento had eight goal kickers against Tyabb on Saturday, Ryan

Jeffrey returning with four, along with Leigh Poholke and Dave Lawson. Ben Schwarze booted three goals while James Hallahan and Benny McCormack dominated.

Craig Conlan and Ash Souter were the best of the Yabbies, while Jake Anderson fi nished with two goals.

The Kangaroos played without spirit and passion, a far cry from the side that won their opening fi ve games of the season.

Langwarrin have now lost six games on the trot and are no certainty to beat Karingal this weekend.

The Kangas are playing like they are scared to be offensive. They are reactive.

Pines on the other hand are playing inspired football, now winning their past three games.

On Saturday, they were six goals up by quarter time.

The margin was 42 points at the last change and while Langwarrin predict-ably came back in the fi nal quarter, they still went down 12.10 (82) to 9.16 (70).

Chris Guganovic was clearly the best player on the ground. At no stage was he tagged or even respected by the opposition.

Guy Hendry completely dominated and intimidated. He fi nished with a career-high seven goals playing across half-forward.

Jake Berry was again dominant and Jamie Messina ran around doing as he liked.

Beau Muston with fi ve goals and Nick Tuddenham, who was back from Frankston VFL, were clearly Langwarrin’s best. It was a struggle to fi nd any other good players outside of these two.

A number of weeks ago, Pines’ coach Steve Ryan resigned from the position, paving way for a new coach to come in next season.

If the Pythons can maintain this level of intensity and spirit, they will become a very appealing proposi-

tion next season for any prospective coach.

The Kangas on the other hand need to get back to enjoying their footy. They look like a group that isn’t enjoying things and it’s becoming a chore. They are frightened of failing.

Frankston YCW once again stamped its authority on the competi-tion, leading all afternoon to thump Mt Eliza to the tune of 44 points.

The Stonecats held the Redlegs scoreless in the opening term and restricted them to just one behind in the fi nal term.

The home side doubled the score of the Redlegs, winning 12.16 (88) to 7.2 (44).

YCW is playing with renewed spirit and enthusiasm under new coach Scott Mathers and the results are evidence of that.

On Saturday, the Stonecats had nine different goal kickers, while Josh Pickess returned from the VFL and dominated. Tony Lester also was at his best yet again and Kyle Hutchison found plenty of the footy and fi nished with two goals.

Sam Wettenhall was Mt Eliza’s only productive forward with four majors while Rob D’Orazio and Jordan Mon-crieff tried hard.

In the grand fi nal replay, it was Edithvale-Aspendale that got the chocolates again over Bonbeach, win-ning a thriller 13.20 (98) to 11.19 (85).

The Eagles opened up a 32-point lead kicking with the wind in the opening term and while Bonbeach kept coming, they never got in front.

Inaccuracy in the opening half prevented the Eagles from winning comfortably. They had 14 scoring shots to just two in the fi rst quarter but only netted four majors.

Jarrod Garth continues to be a revelation in this competition, booting ten goals in the past two weeks (fi ve on Saturday) after sitting out three weeks due to a hamstring tear.

Tim Mavric also returned and quickly found his best and Jordy Derbyshire continues his ‘fl y under the radar’ season.

Cal McQueen booted three for the Sharks while Gary Carpenter continues his purple patch of form with another three club votes. Jackson Casey and Dylan Jones were also at the top of their game.

Many believed that on the closed spaces of Edithvale, Bonbeach would win. It seems they still have some work to do to get a win over the Eagles.

Mornington had 12 goal kickers in

its 20.23 (143) to 9.5 (59) win against Karingal.

James Cameron returned from Frankston Dolphins with four goals and a dominant display while Emilio Bitters and coach Stuart Seagar with three goals also took charge.

Michael Burke was at his vintage best for the Bulls while Hadley Tomamichel kicked three goals in a strong display.

Seaford turned the tables on Chel-sea on Saturday, coming from behind to record a really strong 12.20 (92) to 9.9 (63) victory.

The Tigers were mauled in the

opening quarter and found themselves 29 points down at the fi rst change.

The home side still trailed by 15 points at the long interval and by the same margin at the last change.

However, with the wind at their backs, Seaford kicked 6.9 to one behind in the fi nal term.

Johnathon Haidon and Matt Herbert aren’t well known Seaford names but these two dominated on Saturday, while Rory Luxton and Dean Kemble were also dominant.

Daniel Aarsman (four goals) and Brad Clarke tried their best for the Gulls.
