for peninsula families

TRANSIT police rather than protective service offi cers may eventually pro-vide security for passengers on the Stony Point rail line.

Although promising PSOs on every station between Frankston and Stony Point in the lead up to last state election, Hastings MP Neale Burgess says he has been asked to instead consider putting transit police on trains.

To gauge public opinion, Mr Burgess and Hastings safety committee chair-man Cr David Garnock plan to catch

trains on the Stony Point line and seek the views of passengers.

Mr Burgess said 600 passengers used the line each day.

“The anecdotal evidence received has indicated that commuters feel more vulnerable on the trains themselves than on the stations and therefore hav-ing transit police in the carriages with them throughout their journey would be preferred by passengers,” he said.

Backing for the transit police had come from the safety committee, Hast-

ings Community Hub and Hastings Chamber of Commerce.

“I have continued to consult with other people throughout our area about their preferences and discussing with the government the potential for such an alternative arrangement for our line,” he said.

Mr Burgess told The News that he preferred the idea of PSOs but would bow to public opinion if passengers wanted transit police.

“In some ways transit police are

a good solution because we can roll them out very quickly.”

While confi dent the government will have delivered the promised 940 PSOs by the November election, Mr Burgess said they would not be on the Stony Point and other regional lines.

“The commitment made on behalf of the state government to provide PSOs on each of the Stony Point line train stations will be delivered in full, pro-viding that remains the preference of our community,” he said.

“While I understand that the com-munity safety committee speaks with some authority on matters of local community safety; no decision to de-viate from the PSO policy on our line will be made without fi rst obtaining input from local commuters regarding their preferred option.”

Mr Burgess said he would let the public know the results of what he and Cr Garnock fi nd out when speaking to train passengers.

Preferences to rulePreferences to ruleNOMINATIONS have closed for Red Hill Ward election and, as expected, some candidates were waiting until the last minute before showing interest.

However, by Friday the number of hopefuls willing to show their hand had risen to eight.

Joe Lenzo, Mark Fancett and Peter Holloway - the fi rst to signal their in-tentions to seek election – were now joined by Kate Roper, Kerry Watson, Tim Wood, Darren Andrew, Michael Treadwell and Leigh Eustace.

With such a large fi eld it is doubtful that any one candidate will achieve the required majority of the fi rst count, so preferences will be crucial in deciding the outcome.

The election is being held to fi ll the vacancy created by the May resigna-tion of Cr Frank Martin.

Ballot papers and voting informa-tion will be mailed to all eligible voters from Tuesday 5 August.

Police reinforcedPolice reinforcedHASTINGS now has more police with an extra 108 boys in blue being stationed in Southern Metro Region, Division 4 which covers the shire.

“That’s a 28.2 per cent increase in police numbers in four years, mean-ing Victoria Police can fi ght more crime, more effectively,” Hastings MP Neale Burgess said.

“Construction of the Somerville police station is also now well under way and even more police will be on duty in our area once it opens.

“Another 320 frontline police are working across the regions in areas such as transit and public safety, high-way patrol and covert support.”

EFFORTS to stop a container port be-ing built at Hastings gathered steam at French Island on Saturday.

A capacity crowd at the island’s pub-lic hall listened while Blue Wedges Coalition’s Jenny Warfe spoke about Victoria need for a “new economic model, based on an intact environ-ment, not endless growth”.

The meeting confi rmed many of the concerns that the proposed Hastings port expansion would have on the re-gion, Angela Borelli, a member of the French Island Port Stoppers group said.

“Ms Warfe warned that instead of jobs and prosperity for Hastings, the

port expansion would have conse-quences of traffi c chaos, compulsory acquisition of land - including Crown land and reserves - and massive envi-ronmental damage,” she said.

Clare Le Serve, the independent can-didate for the state seat of Bass, sup-ported the claim that there would be few jobs for locals, comparing it to the desalination plant at Wonthaggi which she said is run by no more than 60 skilled staff.

“It seems both sides of politics pan-der to the corporate sector to get re-elected rather than work to represent the citizens who elect them, and nei-

ther side of politics should be trusted with our priceless environmental as-sets,” Ms Warfe said.

Doubts were also cast on the use of Western Port by so-called mega-ships and the need for extensive dredging of shipping lanes, turning, berthing and holding areas.

“Statistics showing the inevitable risks and costs of cleaning up af-ter maritime accidents, oil spills and contamination, were frightening,” Ms Borelli said.

“Shipping is a volatile business, and to make this port profi table would de-pend on accelerated population growth

and increased consumerism of import-ed products.”

Ms Warfe told the meeting that “we currently have enough ships carrying imported goods, and that Australia’s main export is now empty shipping containers”.

“We say we do not need more ports; we need a visionary national trade and transport strategy making use of exist-ing deep water ports closer to our trad-ing partners and a reinvigorated nation-al rail and coastal shipping network.

“It is time to prepare for a very dif-ferent future. What an excellent invest-ment for our Future Fund.”

Charities’ legal helpCharities’ legal helpCHARITIES and not-for-profi t groups are being offered free legal advice.

Justice Connect’s online pro-gram Not-for-profi t Law has being launched at a time of a “rapidly changing legal landscape at a critical time for the sector”, director Juanita Pope, said.

“Australia’s charities are grappling with unprecedented sector reforms, and there is no end in sight with the federal government’s proposed scrapping of the Australian Chari-ties and Not-for-profi ts Commission, and signifi cant changes in funding of community services at state levels.”

AS well as the disturbing scenes of war and violence we often see from afar are the consequences which last for years and generations: trauma, loss of social “glue”, a lesser capacity to build a better life.

Timor Leste (East Timor) has become familiar to thousands of Australians who have put their skills and energies to help and redress past injustices experienced by a poor and vulnerable nation distorted by violent colonialisms, most recently Indone-sian, from 1975 to 1999.

The Timorese people were ignored by other nations, including Australia, which collaborated or looked the other way.

Last year’s Timor visit by 14 local Friends of Lospalos (supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire) was a highpoint in this eight-year rela-tionship, which has fi nanced many education and other projects. But the Timorese also said “It’s not just the money, you are our family.”

The new feature fi lm, Beatriz’s War, illustrates some of the post-colonial issues which affl ict re-construction.

After a massacre by Indonesian soldiers, Beatriz’s husband, Tomas, disappears, hopefully to join the Falintil resistance.

As happened all over Timor, when the men were killed or fl ed to the hills to fi ght, women grew as leaders and made hard choices, including in their role as “clandestinos”. Following independence, Tomas returns and is a different man; Beatriz has changed also.

Exploring their new relationship, she asks herself uncomfortable ques-tions about him and what happened

Lives changed by terror in TimorLives changed by terror in Timor

during his 16-year absence. She has seen and done enough to be strong and determined enough to resolve her doubts.

Melbourne producer/directors Luigi Acquisto and Stella Zammataro have made a number of documentaries about Timor Leste since 2001, and teamed up with Timorese fi lmmak-ers Bety Reis and Lurdes Pires for “Beatriz’s War”.

The cast includes Jose da Costa (Answered by Fire, Balibo) and the screenplay was written by Irim Tolen-

tino (Beatrix) who also plays the lead of Rosa in a Timor TV series.

The real-life experiences of the Indonesian occupation have informed the acting of many of the cast, and bring out some compelling and an-guished performances.

One location, Kraras, was the site of the 1983 massacre portrayed in the fi lm and some of the fi lm extras were there at the time.

The fi lm took more than a year to make and received early support from SBS Television, the Timorese army

and companies such as Toll Logistics, Airnorth and Rentlo.

The Friends of Los Palos, Amnesty International, and Mornington Penin-sula Human Rights Group are screen-ing Beatriz’s War as a fundraiser at Mornington Cinema on Tuesday 5 August. A short report about Lospalos at 7pm will be followed by the fi lm at 7.30. Information and bookings at www.trybooking.com/FJNW or www.trybooking.com/94324

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

THE peninsula has been rocked by the loss of two of its own with the tragic deaths of Mt Eliza couple Liam and Francesca “Frankie” Davison af-ter the Malaysia Airlines fl ight they were passengers on was shot down over Ukraine last Friday morning.

Early evidence points to fl ight MH17 being hit by a surface-to-air missile as it fl ew over a war zone on its way to Kuala Lumpur. The com-mercial airliner was downed while fl ying over Russian separatists-held territory in eastern Ukraine.

Mr and Mrs Davison were on their way to Melbourne via KL and boarded the fl ight in Amsterdam. All 298 on-board the plane lost their lives. Thirty-seven Australian and permanent resi-dents were among the deceased.

The couple had two children – Mil-ly and Sam – aged in their 20s.

Mr Davison, 56, was an award-winning author of fi ve novels. Two of his books, 1993’s Soundings and The White Woman in 1994 were shortlist-ed for the Victorian Premier’s Award and The Age Book of the Year Award.

Soundings won the National Book Council’s Banjo Award in 1993.

He taught creative writing courses at Frankston’s Chisholm TAFE Insti-tute until 2007 and was well regarded by students.

Australian author and poet Theresa O’Dea was one of his students. She said Mr Davison was “a great teach-er” and “one of my mentors”.

Mt Eliza couple lost in MH17 disasterNeil [email protected]

Mrs Davison, 54, taught English, history and humanities subjects at Toorak College in Mt Eliza for 28 years and was the year 8 coordinator.

The school released a statement on Friday: “Toorak College community is saddened by the loss of much loved teacher Frankie Davison and her hus-

band Liam who were on the Malaysian Airlines fl ight that was brought down over Ukraine, this morning. Our hearts and sympathy goes out to their children Milly and Sam, and family. We are dev-astated by the news of this tragedy. Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with Frankie’s family and friends.”

School principal Helen Carmody has described Mrs Davison as a much-loved teacher, colleague and friend.

“She was a very, very popular teacher and well-loved by all the stu-dents, parents and staff.”

Premier Denis Napthine said 18 Victorian residents were onboard MH17.

Dr Napthine expressed “deepest condolences to the friends, family and loved ones of all 298 victims who were aboard the Malaysia Airlines MH17 fl ight.”

“The shooting down of a passenger aircraft full of innocent civilians is an unspeakable act that will forever leave a dark stain on our history,” he said.

Flags at state government and affi li-ated agencies’ building will be fl own at half-mast until Friday (25 July) as a mark of mourning and respect.

Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said the thoughts and prayers of all Austral-ians are with the families and loved ones of the Australians that tragically lost their lives.

“Our hearts go out to the friends and family of Liam and Frankie Da-vison who were tragically killed,” Mr Billson said.

“We can’t restore them to life but we will do everything we can to sup-port their family because that is the Australian way – we help in times of trouble.

“Counselling, consular and all pos-sible assistance will be provided to the families during the diffi cult days ahead.”

Toorak College opened the doors of the school and its chapel over the weekend to provide counselling ser-vices to staff, students and parents.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott said a national commemorative service would be held in a few weeks’ time.

“I think it is important at a time like this to indicate we are grieving with, and praying for, all of those who have been impacted by this dreadful, dreadful event,” Mr Abbott said.

“(The national commemorative ser-vice) will take place in a few weeks when the loved ones have had time to come to terms with their grief. Then we will come together as a nation in sorrow and solidarity.”

Mr Abbott has blamed Russian-backed rebels for shooting down the plane over Ukraine.

Separatists are believed to have thought fl ight MH17 was a Ukrainian transport plane.

The Prime Minister wants a trans-parent and international investigation into the fatal missile attack.

The downing of Malaysia Airlines fl ight MH17 comes just months af-ter the airline’s fl ight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared without a trace with 239 passengers onboard.

Six Australians were onboard MH370.The Davison family would prefer donations to be made to Annapurna Orphans House, Pokhara, Nepal, Sa-rade Basnet in lieu of fl owers. The Davisons have been involved and worked with the orphans in Nepal.

THE spectre of homelessness in old age weighs heavily on those lacking the job prospects and mobility of someone younger.

This is especially so for older renters.

Adding to the threats posed by rising property prices, insuffi cient superannuation, or joblessness come other worries: unexpected eviction, unaffordable rents or increasingly unsuitable accommodation exacerbated by advancing years.

The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics fi gures show that from 2006-2011 there was a 40 per cent increase in the number of people aged over 55 renting privately on the Mornington Peninsula.

That is up from 1028 to 1413 tenants.

The fi gures taken from the 2011 census show a trend that those working in the aged housing area say is not going anywhere but up. And they mirror the 44 per cent national increase in older renters (over 55).

They reinforce a growing concern that – as renters - more and more elderly residents are at risk of losing their homes through eviction, lack of affordability or because their house is becoming unsuitable without handrails, ramps or walk-in showers. Often landlords will not approve the changes as they incur unwanted costs.

A study by Swinburne University and the Australian Housing and

Older renters fear being homelessOlder renters fear being homelessRising rents force pensionersRising rents force pensionersto look for alternative housingto look for alternative housingTWO elderly pensioners living in Rosebud West are anxious to get out of their private rentals and into public housing.The reason: They’re tired of rising rents and concerned that eviction may occur at any time, leaving them homeless.

They are among hundreds of pensioners renting privately on the peninsula – many faced with the same dilemma.

“If the rent ($260 a week) goes up again I will have to leave – but I don’t have anywhere else to go,” one said. “The rent goes up every six months and everything else goes up except the pension.

“We both need a place where we can stay permanently and where the rent is reasonable.”

The women (names withheld) are keen to attend the Rosebud meeting to discuss public housing options that will improve their situations.

Hopefully, they will be able to fi nd a home near others in the same age bracket.

Urban Research Institute shows: A decline in private rental affordability with the median rent to median income ratio changing from 19 per cent in 1981 to 26.9 per cent in 2011; Heightened rates of residential mobility, with 40 per cent of private tenants moving three or more times in fi ve years compared with 7.8 per cent of other tenures; ‘Forced housing moves’ including evictions and unaffordability rising to 22.6 per cent.

The study also found that baby boomers are more likely to rent and less likely to own a home than previous generations and that, overall, rates of home ownership are falling while rental rates are rising.

On the peninsula, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $290 a week. This means tenants on the pension pay 60 per cent of their income on rent – forcing them to sacrifi ce essentials such as heating, electricity and health care.

To help them, Housing for the

Aged Action Group (HAAG), in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire, has launched Ageing at Home - the Older Persons Housing Information Strategy.

It aims to ensure that older people in housing diffi culties get the help they need through easy access to services, and especially in fi nding long term, affordable – and secure - housing that is adaptable as they age.

HAAG education and housing advice manager Jeff Fiedler said the census data highlighted a signifi cant rising trend in which aged renters are vulnerable to rising rents in often substandard accommodation, facing easy eviction and perhaps a falling pension income when a partner dies.

This scenario is especially relevant to older women who may have spent time out of the workforce raising children, have come from low-paid jobs and have limited superannuation. Living longer than men, on average, may leave them unable to pay private rents when their partner dies.

Mr Fiedler said the housing situation “could be horrible” for aged renters – and made worse by “years of under-spending in public housing”.

Rosebud, Mornington, Hastings and other and parts of the southern peninsula have signifi cant numbers of aged renters – many living in former holiday homes. Poor insulation and inadequate heating makes them cold in winter and poorly suited to aged living. And, with no caps, rents can double overnight leading to an accommodation crisis.

Mr Fiedler said older renters should take action “before there’s a crisis” to transition to private ownership by applying for public housing in areas where they prefer to live. This housing comes with lifetime tenure, rent is 25 per cent of the pension, and they are purpose built for the elderly.

“It’s a good idea to plan ahead – before there’s a crisis,” he said. “There’s access to this type of housing across the peninsula which is in good condition, has a walk-in shower, fewer steps and ramps that suit the elderly. Much of it is in small clusters with neighbours of the same age in a community setting.

“People have a right to live happy and fulfi lling lives – no matter what their age.”

Those seeking help can call Home at Last on 1300 765 178.

Meetings organised by Consumer Affairs Victoria next month will discuss affordable housing options for seniors, including tenants’ rights and responsibilities in retirement housing and private rental, as well as how to avoid scams.

MORNINGTON Peninsula retailers are urged to get on board a highly successful community support pro-gram by providing surplus fresh food to SecondBite.

The not-for-profi t organisation dis-tributes free surplus produce to food relief agencies and community groups throughout Victoria, with three program operating on the peninsula at Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings.

Community groups then transform to produce into fresh food hampers and nutritious meals for vulnerable people struggling to meet living costs.

Woolworths at Rosebud Plaza has already signed up, with Coles Rose-bud also set to join the program in the near future to donate fresh, healthy produce to disadvantaged Mornington Peninsula families and food relief agencies each week.

Since April 2013, SecondBite has been delivering of up to two tonnes of fresh produce to Rosebud Memorial Hall each Monday.

The free produce is then collected by 13 peninsula food relief agencies for delivery to a range of clients.

Fresh food is also collected by more than 100 people at Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre.

The weekly collection is coordi-nated by Southern Peninsula Commu-nity Support and Information Centre and local volunteers, with the support of Your Community Bank’s, Bendigo Bank and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

SPCSIC manager Jackie Currie welcomed the announcement of more retailers joining the program.

“The extra produce from local food

retailers is great news and will help us and SecondBite to assist more clients and food agencies with healthy produce each week.

“The program would not be pos-sible without the support of Bendigo Bank and the Shire, and the tireless work of our volunteers,” she said.

SecondBite also runs programs through the Mornington Community Information and Support Centre and St Marks Uniting Church, and West-ern Port Community Support.

SecondBite Victorian State Man-ager Doug Saunders thanked all of the food donors and said that “the fresh produce will help us to meet the increased demand at food relief agen-

cies on the peninsula, and I encourage other retailers and growers to contact SecondBite to collect their excess fresh produce.”

By participating in this program food retailers receive recycling ac-creditation through the shire’s Best Bites food sustainability program, and membership to the Western Port Biosphere Reserve.

Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr An-tonella Celi, said the expansion of the SecondBite program means more agen-cies and clients could be provided with free, healthy produce while the amount of food waste sent to our landfi lls would also be signifi cantly reduced.

“The SecondBite program on the

Mornington Peninsula is in line with the Shire’s Local Food Strategy which aims to connect local people to local produce.

“SecondBite – with the help of local organisations – can make an immense impact on our community by helping providing fresh, healthy produce where it’s needed most.

“I commend food retailers at Rose-bud Plaza who have come on board, and I encourage any other local food retailers who are interested in partici-pating in the program to contact the Shire or SecondBite,” she said.

Sculpture feedbackSculpture feedbackFLINDERS residents are being given a chance to voice their opinion on a sculpture being offered for their town.

The Flinders Community Association wants the sculpture, above, by Morn-ington Peninsula based Andrew Rogers installed on the roundabout at the Cook and Wood streets intersection.

The community association has ap-plied to Mornington Peninsula Shire to erect the sculpture and the shire has now invited residents to air their views at a special forward planning meeting at 4pm Monday 28 July at the Flinders Hall.

Residents can register to speak at the meeting by contacting governance and corporate support manager Tony Beynon, call 5950 1435 or email [email protected]

The four-metre high bronze sculp-ture is to be “gifted” – at cost-price of about $100,000 – to the Flinders com-munity to commemorate the town’s 150th birthday.

Following advertisement of the proposal, 38 objections including a petition containing 145 signatures, have been lodged with the council.

Port optionsPort optionsBIG Panamax class container ships steam along at 25knots (46kph). Of course, they’re clean-est at cruising speed and not so good chugging slowly.

Port Phillip has a shallow, narrow entrance. The same problem almost killed the Panama Canal project. The solution was to stop trying to make it deeper, fl ipping the logic, by raising the water level higher and slowing the fl ow with good old canal style locks.

So, why not a short canal at the side of The Heads? Port Phillip is deep, with plenty of anchorage area and space for a combined air and sea freight facility adjacent to Avalon airport. There is lots of land already in public ownership, with heavy rail already close by. Looks like a good option.

In comparison, the name Western Port Bay is unfortunate. Words in the name, both “port" and “bay", are misleading. By defi nition, a bay is “wide opening in shore of sea”, which makes big tidal surges, strong currents and tidal range to three metres compared with just 0.8m for Port Phillip.

It fails defi nition of “port”, being "sheltered harbour”, because of notoriously strong winds, as well as currents, from all directions.

Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean insists it is a deep water port, but it’s just a skinny channel, dredged in 1970s to 14m. At low tide, it’s a mega acreage of delicate silt banks, from millions of years of ooze from combination of Koo Wee Rup swamp, salt bush, mangroves and seagrass beds. It is shallow, aver-age just 8m.

The Panama Canal is being dredged to 18m and a bridge in New York is being raised to 60m to clear these ships.

It will take much expert, slow and patient pull-ing and pushing to be sure big ships aren’t blown off track into Hastings. Hardly a good option.

So let’s look at 25knot cruising, out in Bass Strait, to travel to Portland in four hours, less time than into either bay, directly into deep water port.

There’s always been so much talk about alternatives to Melbourne sprawl with regional cities needing to be boosted. Also, we’ve always been desperate for upgrades to interstate train transport. So how about scrapping the nonsense of huge expense for the Port of Hastings, with huge cost of infrastructure to make it viable, Dandenong train track upgrade and ridiculous extravagance of the East West link? Why not site a new container port to shift population to

Portland, with fast train transport of containers to Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney?

Cyclists a dangerCyclists a dangerVICTORIA Walks and blindness advocates are alarmed that VicRoads’ new cycling road rules survey1 includes options for more cyclists on footpaths.

Walking and cycling are not a good mix for our most vulnerable walkers. In a survey of 1128 seniors, 39 per cent said bikes on shared paths were a constraint to their walking.

A Vision Australia study of walkers with vi-sion impairment found 24 per cent of collisions and near collisions were with cyclists.

Cyclists do not necessarily slow down when they share a path with pedestrians. A NSW study found that the average speed of cyclists on footpaths was 21kph, the same speed as on local roads.

Cycling advocates want to increase the age for footpath cycling to 16 from the current 12 years.

Letting teenagers ride on footpaths might make some parents feel better, but it won’t make their kids safer. International studies show that cyclists have a 1.8 to 16 times higher risk of injury on footpaths than on roads.

From a motorist perspective, imagine a 15-year-old racing along a footpath while some-one is backing out of their driveway. What driver wants to be responsible for a teenager lying seri-ously injured on a footpath?

Our footpaths are critical for many seniors, children, families and the disabled to get around. It is paramount that people are safe and feel safe when walking, without having to worry about being hit by a cyclist.

VOLUNTEERS from Landcare Australia cel-ebrated 25 years of service on Sunday by taking photographs.

It was all part of a crowd sourcing photog-raphy initiative which aims to create a visual snapshot of the organisation 25 years on.

A Day in the Life of Landcare – much like the celebrated coffee table book A Day in the Life of Australia – asked members to photograph what Landcare means to them on the day and to submit their photos for inclusion in a special commemorative book.

Environment Minister Greg Hunt yesterday joined Landcare Australia CEO, Tessa Jaksze-wicz, to mark the occasion – and helped re-pot some recently raised mangrove seedlings.

He was hosted by Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises, which assists young people to develop self-esteem, pride and confi dence and become valued members of the community.

“It’s fantastic to be able to celebrate 25 years of Landcare nationally, and through a number of other initiatives we are running this year,” Ms Jakszewicz said.

“We hope that by celebrating the achievements of the past quarter of a century and embracing the future, that more Australians will realise the vital role landcare plays in protecting and sustainably managing our natural environment, and want to be part of it.”

THE shire council has joined with Victoria Police and motorbike enthusiasts to spread the message that riders need the right gear, right bike, right place to enjoy riding in safety.

Cr David Garnock said the safety message was particularly important following an recent coun-cil amendment to local laws which enables Vic-toria Police to seize and impound illegally ridden unregistered recreational vehicles, such as mini bikes, trail bikes and motor bikes.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has worked closely with Victoria Police, which has received high numbers of complaints from the community relating to individuals riding unreg-istered vehicles illegally, to introduce the amend-ment to the local law as a deterrent to illegal and dangerous behaviour and to improve community safety,” he said.

Mornington Peninsula police commander In-spector Karen Nyholm said the change to the lo-cal law is expected to be an effective tool to ad-dress illegal recreational vehicle use.

“Community safety is our priority and the il-legal use of these bikes often causes property

damage and presents real physical threats to peo-ple and children walking around the streets,” she said.

Scott Morone, from the Motorcycle Action Group in Hastings, said the message should be clear: Right Bike, Right Gear, Right Place.

“MAG works with the community to promote safe bike use,” he said.

“Illegal recreational vehicle use is often very dangerous, with offenders riding unregistered motorbikes without the proper safety equipment on land not designed for the purpose.

“We want people to stay safe by doing the right thing – Right Bike, Right Gear, Right Place – and importantly the right attitude,” he said.

For further information about safe bike prac-tices refer to www.spokes.com.au

Anyone witnessing illegal recreational vehicle is asked to call 000 during the event, or if you have information about illegal recreational vehi-cle use please contact Crime Stoppers on: 1800 333 000 or the Hoon Hotline on: 1800 NO HOON (1800 664 666).

MORNINGTON Peninsula libraries have re-ceived a welcome boost, with the state govern-ment announcing funding would be increased to $915,000 this fi nancial year.

The peninsula was one of the big winners from an adjusted formula used by the state government to ensure fairer distribution of annual funding provided for Victoria’s 54 public libraries and li-brary corporations.

Local Government Minister Tim Bull said Vic-torian libraries would receive record recurrent funding of $39.52 million through the Public Li-braries Funding Program.

This amount for the 2014-15 fi nancial year was in addition to the $17.2 million Living Libraries Infrastructure Program that funds new libraries, smaller redevelopments and refurbishments, he said.

Mornington MP David Morris said the funding windfall represented the largest annual amount ever provided to peninsula libraries.

“Local libraries are at the very heart of our com-munities so it is important that library services and councils work collaboratively together to provide high quality services that continue to grow and cater for the needs of all Victorians,” Mr Morris said.

“This is the largest amount of funding ever pro-vided to our libraries, reversing funding cuts left by the former Labor,” Mr Morris said.

Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Antonella Celi welcomed news of the funding increase, which she said will contribute to providing the community with a wide range of important services.

She said more than 700,000 people visited pen-insula libraries each year, with more than 1.4 mil-lion items are borrowed annually.

“These include books, CDs and DVDs for loan, online services and resources, mobile library ser-vices, public access computers and WiFi, and a range of reading and learning programs for the community,” Cr Celi said.

A PROMINENT Portsea family is be-hind a $100 million plan to make Point Nepean National Park “a world-class tourist destination and education pre-cinct”.

The Premier Denis Napthine was at the park’s Quarantine Station on Fri-day to announce government backing for the bid to develop the precinct by the Point Leisure Group.

The group’s directors and Myer family members Richard and Trine Shelmerdine said their plan would “transform Point Nepean’s historic Quarantine Station in a way that shares and maintains its unique herit-age and natural environment”.

They predict Point Nepean will be-come a “world-class destination … combining its natural beauty and herit-age with a high quality hotel, function and events centre, health retreat, hot spring facility, museum and a multi-tude of recreational, cultural and edu-cational opportunities”.

Dr Napthine said the plan includes a marine education and research pre-cinct with the University of Mel-bourne; luxury and “camping style” accommodation; shops, cafes and res-taurants.

“The proposal is in keeping with the site’s cultural and Indigenous heritage, while delivering stringent environ-mental protections,” Dr Napthine said.

Environment Minister Ryan Smith said the plan would secure the future of buildings with heritage and cultural signifi cance “and are in pressing need

of maintenance”.Mr Smith said the proposal “accords

with the height of existing buildings”.Three southern peninsula commu-

nity groups - Nepean Ratepayers Asso-ciation, Nepean Historical Society and Nepean Conservation Group – will be briefed by Mr Ryan today, Tuesday.

Mr Shelmerdine says he is a “con-tributing member” of the Nepean His-torical Society, Nepean Conservation Group and founding committee mem-ber of the Sullivan Bay Action Group.

In 2011 Mr Shelmerdine was granted approval by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to subdivide The Sisters historic property in Point Nepean Rd, Sorrento.

“Our family has been part of the lo-cal community for generations, and we are committed to embracing and pro-tecting this special place,” Mr Shelm-erdine said.

“We feel very privileged to be part of

a project that will revitalise a place that has played such an important role in Australia’s history. This will redefi ne Victorian tourism and create a world-class health and wellness destination that will inspire visitors to discover, unwind, and participate in the wonders of this area.

“We see this as the beginning of the next stage of Point Nepean’s history and look forward to working closely with local community groups and the Victorian Government to make it a success for all involved.”

Dr Napthine said the plan “strikes the right balance between leisure and learning activities, and maintaining the site for future generations to enjoy”.

He said up to 220 jobs would be cre-ated during construction “and up to a further 390 ongoing jobs”.

“This site is set to attract further in-vestment and tourists from around the world, delivering a huge economic

boost to the Mornington Peninsula and the state’s economy,” Dr Napthine said.

Mr Smith said the proposal aligns with the government’s guidelines for tourism investment in national parks and the Point Nepean National Park master plan.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the Portsea polo, craft markets and con-certs will continue to be held at Point Nepean with scope for “additional tourism and investment ideas”.

While providing greater public ac-cess, the plan “follows stringent guide-lines that will protect and enhance the local environment, our coastline and the historic buildings on the site”, Mr Dixon said.

Flinders MP and Conservation Min-ister Greg Hunt, who has championed several past proposals at Point Nepean, said he was “delighted that the long held community goal of marine educa-

tion at Point Nepean using the existing but empty heritage buildings is now very close”.

“The proposal appears modest, sus-tainable and focussed on education and wellness, while also highlighting and celebrating the heritage of the old Quarantine Station buildings,” Mr Hunt said.

“The old quarantine station has unique examples of grand heritage ar-chitecture, which have been restored by the Commonwealth but which have laid dormant and empty for many years.

“This should now secure the heritage buildings for the coming century and guarantee their long term protection. The non-quarantine area of the park has long been protected and secured.”

The proposal is open for public com-ment at www.depi.vic.gov.au/nepean or visit Parks Victoria’s offi ce at Point Nepean.

SURGERY to ease the suffering of long-term asthma sufferers is now available at Frankston Hospital. It is the fi rst time surgery to reduce the effects of asthma attacks on chronic asthma sufferers for whom traditional medications do not work has been offered in Victoria.

Peninsula Health’s director of thoracic medicine, Professor David Langton, performed the procedure for the fi rst time last week while accompanied by Harvard professor of medicine, Dr Armin Ernst, who pioneered the procedure.

The bronchial thermoplasty pro-cedure involves inserting a bron-choscope, or small tube, down the patient’s airway and into their lungs whilst they are under anaesthesia. A heat probe is then used to treat the muscles that cause bronchospasm.

“By weakening these muscles they will no longer be able to cause wheeze and asthma attacks,” Prof Langton said.

Debra Clarke is one of two patients for whom Professor Langton will be performing the surgery on for the fi rst time.

The 53-year-old mother of three has spent suffering from the effects of asthma since being diagnosed at 15 months of age.

“I’ve had asthma for as long as I can remember and nothing has ever been able to relieve the constant wheeziness. I’ve never been able to be as active as I want to be. I never played sports. Even in school I used to hide my head in my bag to take my puffer for fear of being labelled as not

normal,” Ms Clarke said As a chronic asthma sufferer she

has spent her life on medication to try and relieve the constant heaviness in her chest.

“I’ve had all the traditional medica-tion and tried all the experimental trials I could, including going onto chemotherapy medication.

“I am now at the point where the constant use of cortisone steroids is having a signifi cant toll on my

body. My hair is thinning, my skin is weak and I am constantly covered in bruises. I have had to give up so much of my quality of life including my job because of my asthma.

“One of the side effects of the use of steroids to treat asthma is getting dia-betes. My dad, who was also a chronic asthma sufferer, passed away from steroid induced diabetes at 59. I really don’t want that to happen to me.”

Ms Clarke hopes the surgery will

reduce her reliance on the cortisone steroids, minimise their effects on her body, and reduce her risk of getting diabetes.

“Within six months I’m expect-ing to see my quality of life improve dramatically,” she said.

“I’m just looking forward to doing those things we take for granted like breathing and walking with ease and without the fear of suffering an at-tack.”

The bronchial thermoplasty is only available for patients following a specialist review. Patients must have severe and persistent asthma that is not well controlled despite taking cur-rently available medications.

Since the procedure was approved for use in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in

2013 it has been performed on less than 20 patients in hospitals in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

WHEN you tuck into dinner think about where those tasty fruits and vegetables come from. No, not the fruit shop, where they are grown.

For Mornington Peninsula residents, this is often nearby as the region is a growth area in fruit and vegetable terms, producing 32 per cent of the state’s lettuce, 24 per cent of its herbs, 14 per cent of its broc-coli, 14 per cent of its strawberries, and 4 per cent of its raspberries.

The market gardens are also well placed to receive cheap water from the Carrum Downs sewerage treat-ment plant and are relatively close to Melbourne’s CBD in transport terms, making them worthy of protection at a time when pressure on ‘freeing up’

acreage for new housing is strong.Dr Rachel Carey, lead researcher of

the Food Alliance, a Deakin Univer-sity program funded by VicHealth, said it was most important to keep Melbourne’s food production areas close by, rather than forcing them into remote areas and more vulner-able to rising fuel costs and higher water bills.

These would all have deleterious effects on food prices – especially during times of drought brought on by climate change. And, with the Melbourne’s population expected to rise to almost eight million by 2050, she said the need to protect our most productive farmland was crucial.

The Food Alliance research found

that 40%-50% of Melbourne’s vegetables are grown on the city’s doorstep - with a massive 10% grown in Werribee South.

Dr Carey said food production are-as close to the city must be protected by fi xing urban growth boundaries permanently and ensuring remaining market growing areas are protected for future generations.

“Plan Melbourne recognises this problem, but doesn’t go far enough in delivering effective solutions to creating a permanent city boundary to protect Melbourne’s foodbowl.”

She said farms on the urban fringe created 6000 jobs and contrib-uted $1.3-$1.6 billion to Victoria’s economy. “Easy access to shoppers,

transport, wholesale markets, water and labour are what makes these areas viable for growing food for the future as our population increases.”

Without protection, the Food Al-liance research predicts available farmland within Melbourne’s urban boundaries — around 2000sq km, with 90sq km dedicated to fruit and vegetable growing in 1950s — will shrink to less than 200sq km by 2030.

A Plan Melbourne statement report-edly promotes the huge export poten-tial of city-fringe farms, and says a permanent urban boundary is crucial for safeguarding food production. It calls for high-value agricultural land to be mapped and protected.

Local is best when it comes to tasty tucker

Fresh ideas: Food Alliance researcher Rachel Carey says farmland needs to be protected to continue to feed Melbourne’s growing population.

Homeward bound: This moggy has found somewhere new to live thanks to the staff at the Mornington Peninsula Community Animal Shelter.

IT really is a dog’s life for some – especially those dogs and cats who fi nd themselves on death row at pounds and shelters.

Unwanted and discarded – often by callous owners who bought a cute kitten or pup for Christmas and then found they didn’t want it to grow up – they are euthanised in their hundreds every year in pounds and shelters.

But those taken to the Mornington Peninsula Community Animal Shelter are luckier than most.

The shelter, in Watt Rd, Mornington, prides it-self on working with more than 30 rescue groups and adopting out to the public as many unwanted pets as possible, so they have the best chance at fi nding their ‘forever’ home.

The shelter also promotes responsible pet own-ership and can provide a wide range of useful in-formation and tips on how to keep pets safe and happy.

A recent partnership with pet-rehoming organi-sation Pet Rescue has been worthwhile. It lists pets for adoption from the shelter on its website: petrescue.com.au

The not-for-profi t group relies solely on the generosity of pet lovers to fund its operations.

Shire senior ranger Scott Morone said the shel-ter had an “awesome relationship” with Pet Res-cue and greater access to potential new owners – even some overseas. This was discovered when a Rye woman – on holiday in Germany – saw a cute Jack Russell on social media one night and decided to adopt it. She arranged with her hus-band - at home in Rye - to visit the shelter and

collect the lucky canine who is now ‘living the dream’ by the beach.

Mr Morone said he had detected a welcome trend on the peninsula for families to adopt a pet – to give them a second chance - rather buy a “brand new” pet in pet shops.

The shelter also accepts surrendered pets – with a $50 surrender fee - and attempts to place them in the home or with the group that suits them best after they have passed their assessment.

Volunteers are always welcome at the shelter to walk the dogs and pat the cats.

The shelter is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am-5pm and weekends 10am-5pm. It is closed on Good Friday and Christmas Day.

Hastings Football Club to celebrate match 1700Hastings Football Club to celebrate match 1700By Peter McCulloughUSING all the fi ngers and toes at his disposal, Hastings Football Club his-torian, Vic Jeremiah, calculates that, on 2 August this year, the club will reach a milestone: its 1700th match.

Earlier this year, in the article “Hast-ings Football Club: A Milestone Year”, fellow historian and past player, Lance Hodgins, told how, in 1889 - exactly 125 years ago - a small group of pio-neering young men and enterprising businessman came together to form the Hastings Football Club.

Its captain was John Watson, a keen and skilful sportsman who ran fast and kicked accurately. Playing beside him was his equally skilled brother, George.

Lance’s account continued: “The Hastings Football Club of

1889 did things right. From the out-set, it was properly constituted with offi ce bearers elected at an annual general meeting and accounts were offi cially kept. The secretary and match committee were most impor-tant in those days, as there were no set fi xtures and games were played with any team available.

Two likely candidates were the larg-est towns on the peninsula - Morn-ington and Frankston - who had met several times since their inaugural match on 18 June 1887.

On 1 June, 1889 Hastings played its fi rst game as a club at home against Mornington. Unfortunately, no results can be found, but this was followed three weeks later with a return bout, won by Mornington 2-9 to 0-0.

In early July a no-show from Grant-ville left the Blues resplendent in their cobbled-up blue and white uniforms

with no-one to beat. By 20 July, despite heavy rains

turning the Hastings ground into a quagmire, a grand victory was had over a visiting Mornington team.

The Grantville team fi nally arrived the following weekend, only to be soundly beaten on a ground still so muddy that good quality football was out of the question.

Perhaps this was the beginning of the home-ground advantage for which Hastings became renowned.

The Blues developed a rugged brand of football which gave them a reputation for being almost unbeatable on the heavy going of Hastings Park.

A fourth game was played at Morn-ington on 24 August, and the honours were levelled at two wins apiece.

On 7 September Hastings travelled by boat to San Remo where it de-feated Wonthaggi 8-13 to 0-3, and on 5 October its season fi nished at home

with a win against Marylebone, from South Melbourne, 3-6 to 2-8.

Overall, Hastings played nine games in 1889 for four wins, two draws and three losses. It kicked a total of 17 goals for the season.

Scores were low in the football of that time and only goals counted in the results.

Four of the season’s goals came off the boot of John Watson, and two from his brother, George, who was voted “Best Improved Player” and presented with a silver trophy by the president, D.J. Ham.

Over the next decade or so many informal matches were played and a competition was formed in which Hastings had considerable success, starting its run of premierships in 1903. However, it was not until 1908 that the Peninsula Football Associa-tion, forerunner of today’s Morn-ington Peninsula Nepean Football

League, was formed. The fi rst year produced a contro-

versial result in that Hastings, the minor premiers, issued a challenge to Frankston, which had defeated Somer-ville in the grand fi nal. Although this “right of challenge” rule was common in a number of leagues in the early days, the new association had not included it in its rules.

Frankston refused to accept the association’s decision in favour of the challenge and, despite a game being organised, did not turn up. The ball was bounced, a behind was kicked, and the game was awarded to Hast-ings with the fi nal scores of 0-1 to 0-0.

The 1908 pennant is still on display in the Hastings clubrooms.

In what would appear to be a contradiction, the current league (the MPNFL) recognises the premierships won by Hastings prior to its inception in 1908, but does not start counting

“Games Played” until the fi rst round of 1908.

Consequently, “Game One” of the 1700 was played at Dromana with Hastings – captained by T. Knox - winning comfortably 10-22 to 2-3. The best players were Sposito, Wilson and Perriman, each of whom kicked three goals.

The milestone match, to be played at the Thomas Barclay oval in Hast-ings, will be between traditional rivals Hastings and Crib Point. The latter club was not formed until 1949 and a number of players in its inaugural team had been members of the Hast-ings premiership teams of 1946-48.

The teams now play for the Ron Moncrieff Shield. Ron is a life member of both clubs. Although it is 65 years since the Crib Point club was formed, the two teams have only played in the same league for 24 of those years. Consequently, they have only been opponents on 52 occasions: Hastings winning 36 times and Crib Point 16.

To commemorate the special oc-casion, Hastings Football Club has arranged a special luncheon at noon. Guest speakers will be club legend Richard Everist, speaking on “The rivalry between Hastings and Crib Point”, and Doug Ackerly, who will talk about his new book Coleman: The Untold Story of an AFL Legend. It is also hoped that Ron Moncrieff will attend.

Invitations have been sent to all past-players and offi cials but sup-porters are also welcome. The cost is $40 per head. Bookings are essential: phone Carrie at the Hastings club on 5979 1740.

THE 1910 Hastings pre-miership team taken during the club’s fi rst “golden era” when it won 10 premier-ships fromn 1903-1913. The only blemish was in 1911 when it was runner-up to Frankston. The only players that Vic can identify are in the middle row: “Dob-bin” Reid (second from left) and Albert “Pompey” Francis (third from right).

IS Hastings destined to be an international con-tainer port, or are there other scenarios that could secure both the economic and environmental fu-ture of the bay and the surrounding region?

These far-reaching questions will be evaluated at the workshop: Scenario Planning for West-ern Port Bay, to be held at the Newhaven Yacht Squadron on Phillip Island over fi ve days from 28 July-1 August. And the organisers are inviting in-terested residents to take part.

The workshop is being led by Australian Na-tional University professor and ecological econo-mist Robert Costanza, and Dr Ida Kubiszewski, a senior lecturer at ANU and managing editor of Solutions and other publications.

Those attending are expected to include busi-ness, government, environmental and social science leaders who are interested in helping to shape the future economy and ecology of the Western Port region.

Organisers are the ANU, Preserve Western Port Action Group and the Victorian National Parks Association – with the support of Bass Coast Shire Council.

Scenario planning is a structured process of ex-ploring and evaluating plausible futures. Exercis-es have been conducted here and internationally on a range of issues, including regional futures, corporate strategy, political transition and com-munity-based natural resource management.

The innovative process will involve larger groups on days one and fi ve - up to 100 each day - and a small, dedicated group of up to 25 people over the entire week.

The fi ve-day workshop is expected to set the scene for the rest of the week with guest speakers introduc-ing up to 100 participants to scenario planning. The work achieved on day one will shape the scenarios to be evaluated over the next three days. These will

involve working groups of 20-25 participants “fl esh-ing out and evaluating” scenarios.

The fi nal day will involve reporting back on the preliminary results of the scenario planning with opportunities for feedback, discussion and input into the next steps which are open to up to 100 par-ticipants.

Those attending the entire workshop will be supplied with background reading material, and staff and students from ANU will help guide them through the fi ve-day process.

Organisers are looking for people of different backgrounds and a cross section of expertise to join in the workshop for the full fi ve days.

that, for participants to get the most out of the workshop, they must be prepared to get deeply involved.

“We understand that this is a signifi cant com-mitment of time and resources, but it is also a huge opportunity to draw on leading global prac-tice to explore an important issue using innova-tive methodology,” Preserve Western Port Action Group chairman Jeff Nottle said.

“Of course, we also understand that people’s time may be limited, so there are options for them to attend the fi rst day to help set the course of the workshop and or the last day (day fi ve) to discuss the preliminary results and give feedback.

“Participants can also nominate a delegate from their organisation to register for days one, fi ve, or both, or lodge an expression of interest to attend all fi ve days.”

To book a place in the invitation-only event reg-ister at the Eventbrite registration page.

The yacht squadron is in Seaview St, Newhav-en, with catering provided for the full fi ve days.

Future of Western Future of Western Port up for debatePort up for debate

SEA creatures of all sorts will stage a colourful protest outside Hastings MP Greg Hunt’s offi ce on Friday.

They’ll be demanding protection for the Great Barrier Reef.

In the next two weeks, the environment min-ister is due to approve or reject mining company Adani's Carmichael mine that requires dredging and dumping in the reef’s World Heritage Area to provide space for coal ships.

It would create the world's biggest coal port on the reef’s long coastline.

Online activist group GetUp, which is organ-ising the demonstration along with Greenpeace, claims the project would be disastrous.

It says residents have an opportunity to infl u-ence his decision.

The group will gather at 1pm in Salmon St to tell Mr Hunt how they feel about protecting the reef – and everyone is invited to join in.

The group says the Mr Hunt chose not to as-sess the miner’s environmental record when he gave his fi rst-round approval, and that it lacks

credibility. “Last time Adani was trusted to build a port, it destroyed the very conservation area it promised to protect. Another investiga-tion found Adani was involved in ‘large scale corruption’ including theft and bribery,” organ-isers say.

“Adani has shown it shouldn't be trusted, especially not with something as precious as our Great Barrier Reef.

The organisers say the fun, family friendly event will take about an hour. It will involve a get together, photo shoot and a chat about the challenges the reef is facing. “Then, we’ll deliver a message that Mr Hunt won't be able to ignore.”

Mr Hunt yesterday said the Carmichael coal mine and rail infrastructure project was being considered in accordance with national environ-ment law.

“The date for a decision has been extended to ensure I can thoroughly consider the large volume of material associated with this project referral.” A decision is expected by 1 August.

Hastings bound: Colourful protesters will make their point outside Environment Minister Greg Hunt’s Hastings offi ce on Friday.

THE perfect combination of rural charm and town convenience is right here with this superb three-bedroom character home, set on 5000 square metres of private, landscaped grounds. A long, paved driveway leads up to a double garage under the roof line of the home, and from the entry foyer, a separate study –or fourth bedroom –is straight ahead. For the younger family this room would be great as a nursery as the master bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite is in this same wing of the house. The warm and welcoming interior continues with a splendid sunken formal lounge that features a roaring open fi re place. From the adjoining formal dining area you easily step through into the kitchen to what is a very pleasant casual living zone. The kitchen has a distinct timber theme and appliances include a gas cook top, rangehood and dishwasher, with the adjoining casual meals space enjoying a great outlook across the grounds. A second living space has a gas log-effect heater. From here there is access out to the full-length verandah that runs along the rear of the home from which to take in the vista across the sizeable backyard. A lovely big wattle tree provides a great splash of colour amongst the pine and gum trees, and you can even enjoy an outdoor lunch in the shade come summer time. Solid and sturdy, this home dates back about 25 years and has aged well with excellent presentation. Modern buyers may certainly wish to update in places but the great bones necessary to build upon and create a wonderful family home are all here.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Survey being performed into establishing a port at HastingsSurvey being performed into establishing a port at HastingsCompiled by Cameron McCulloughTHE usual monthly sale at Tanti will be held on Monday, August 3rd, when Messrs Alex Scott and Co. will offer cattle, sheep, lambs etc.

***WE regret to announce the serious in-disposition of Mr W. Schultz, of the Pier Hotel, Frankston. Mr Schultz is at present an inmate of Dr. Stirling’s hos-pital, where he will undergo an opera-tion. We wish him a speedy recovery.

***A NUMBER of Australian sympathis-ers with the poor of London forward-ed a consignment of 270 carcasses of Australian mutton for distribution. This mutton has been distributed in the poorest districts of London.

***MUCH satisfaction is felt in Flinders and surrounding districts at the recom-mendation of the Railway Department to extend the Stony Point line to Red Hill.

This extension will serve a good producing district and bring direct railway communication to within six miles of Flinders.

***THE residents of Westernport have for some years been advocating that use should be made of the fi ne depths and anchorages of that natural harbour.

They want pier facilities for deep-sea vessels and railway communica-tion with arteries of traffi c. While the Government takes the view that the deepening of Port Phillip will provide ample accommodation for the oversea trade of the eastern part of the State, it has gone as far as to undertake a

comprehensive survey of Western-port, with a view to the subsequent establishment of the other facilities required.

This survey is now being made by the Ports and Harbours branch, and will, it is anticipated, be completed before the end of the year.

***ABOUT a fortnight ago the construc-tion of a siding at Chelsea, on which about 30 men had been engaged, was suddenly stopped.

At the local progress association meeting on Saturday night anxiety was expressed as to whether it is to be completed.

The chairman (Mr James) stated that with Mr Keast, M.L.A., he had an interview with the Railway Commis-sioners on the matter.

They were given to understand that the stoppage had taken place ow-ing to some departmental reason, but that construction would be resumed shortly.

Meanwhile it had been found neces-sary, in order to give a proper width of the siding, to encroach somewhat on the eastern road.

As those who had brought front-ages to that road had been guaranteed frontage to a 66 feet thoroughfare the Commissioners would buy from them a depth corresponding to what was taken from the road, thus maintaining its width.

Fortunately little or no building had been done at that point. He under-stood notices to treat had been already served.

***FURTHER complaints were made at

the meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association on Saturday night as to ir-regular running of trains to Melbourne on the Frankston line.

Owing to the late arrival in town of the 6.43am train it was said work men and others who used it found they fre-quently missed other trains which had to be caught in Melbourne, and in or-der not to be late for their engagements had to get to work by other means of transit from the city. The 6.9am, on the other hand, whatever its time of arrival in town, often left Chelsea as much as two minutes before scheduled time, with the result that passengers either missed it or sprang hurriedly into the wrong class, at the risk of being caught by the fl ying gang.

The trains arriving at Chelsea, it was said, very often over-ran the station, and as people had to cross the lines to get to the platforms at each end, this way was very dangerous.

The meeting resolved to press the Railway Commissioners to have the train services adjusted in the particu-lars mentioned, and also to realise the necessity of making a subway at the station.

***A DEMONSTRATION of land clear-ing and subsoiling by explosives will be given on the property of Mr T. Gib-son, Hodgins Road, Hastings, by Mr H. E. Henshaw, representing Nobel’s Explosives Co, Ltd., on Tuesday, 28th July.

***THE work of straightening the street in front of the Mechanics’ Hall at Frankston has been put in hand, and the trees are being cut down prepara-

tory to the road being made. It is expected that the alterations

and additions to the hall will be com-menced shortly.

***ON Thursday evening, 16th inst., at the Clyde Hall, Mr and Mrs C. Croskell and Mr A. Croskell were the recipients of presentations from members of the tennis and football clubs and residents of the district, on the eve of their de-parture. The presentations consisted of a case of cutlery to Mr and Mrs C. Croskell and a travelling bag, suitably inscribed, to Mr A. Croskell.

***THE death occurred, suddenly at Mornington, on Thursday morning, of Sister Thompson. She was well known and highly respected in Mornington, and her sudden demise has caused great a sorrow in all directions.

***AT the Frankston Court of Petty Ses-sions, on Monday last, before Messrs Sherlock, Clements, and Williams, J.’s P, a case was dealt with in which John Rule claimed that goods seized from Mrs Spears in execution of a distress warrant were his, and should not have been taken. After the hearing of the evidence, the Bench held that Rule’s claim to the goods was proved, and gave a verdict accordingly. Mr Law-rence Rostron appeared for Rule, and Mr Utber for the execution creditor.

***OWING to his departure to Tynong, Cr J. D. Hodgins has been compelled to resign his position as president of the Frankston and Hastings shire.

During his term as president, Cr Hodgins has fi lled the position ably,

and as a councillor he has always looked after the interests of his riding. The departure of Cr Hodgins and fam-ily from the district will leave a gap that will be hard to fi ll.

Already Mr Daniel Hoban and Mr J. Watt have been mentioned as likely candidates to fi ll the vacancy caused by Cr Hodgins’ retirement.

***IT is with the deepest regret that I have to record the death of one of our es-teemed Somerville townsmen in the person of Mr A. Edward Gault, at the age of 50 years.

Death occurred at Adelaide, South Australia, where the late Mr Gault had gone to receive special care and atten-tion in his last days, under the care of Dr Gault.

Though he well knew that his days were numbered, the deceased gen-tleman was of a uniformly kind and genial disposition, and he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact.

Having resided at Somerville for the last 20 years, where he was successful as an orchardist, his removal by that grim reaper, Death, will leave a gap that will take many years to fi ll.

He was especially prominent in church life, and was a steward of the Methodist circuit for many years, and a great deal of his time was given for that cause.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved widow and relatives, who are left to mourn their said be-reavement.From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 July 1914.

CARAVAN SERVICING

Somerville Welcome to

By Rod Gunn - Utow CaravansCARAVAN and Motorhome Magazine often has very good articles on all aspects of cara-vanning and if you are going to enter this wondrous world you may be well advised to subscribe or at least buy cur-rent copies when you are on the road. We will always buy a copy each time we go some-where and that serves two pur-poses; to keep me up to date on caravan happenings, and also to keep me occupied and out of trouble.

I have come across a copy with information on Tow Ve-hicles and I will put in a few of the items that they have dis-cussed.

The fi rst item to look at is whether the vehicle can actu-ally tow the caravan that you currently own or are contem-plating buying.

The areas to consider are the braked towing capacity (how heavy the caravan is when you have loaded it) and also the maximum allowable tow ball mass (how heavy is the down pressure on the towball). Never are kitchen scales and a guess suffi cient because who knows what you have put into the car-avan that you consider “neces-

sary”. It is a very good idea, if not mandatory, to weigh it at a weigh bridge after you have loaded it. First the caravan then the jockey wheel. Then take out what you don’t really need.

For example: how heavy is the tool box that you have put in the front boot along with extra timbers for under the sta-bilisers and under the jockey wheel. Also the jockey wheel that enables you to move the caravan into tight spots rather than trying to reverse in. This all adds up.

Be careful when buying a tow vehicle because the same model may come with different engines, transmissions or sus-pension and this will change the towing capacity, sometimes alarmingly so.

Don’t take the caravan man-ufactures compliance plate as gospel because that is deter-mined without water, gas and sometimes other items which are added because you wanted them. (Extra water tank, wash-ing machine, larger fridge – all adds weight)

Now that you have decided that the vehicle will pull the caravan legally, you have to think about the payload that the vehicle can legally carry. This is the maximum allowable

weight of the vehicle when fully loaded. A payload fi gure for example, is Gross Vehicle GVM – Tare weight (tare).

For Example: Vehicle GVM might be 3000kg, vehicle tare is 2400kg, so the payload must not exceed 600kg.

That’s okay the isn’t it? Not re-ally: 2 passengers 160kg, bulbar 40kg, side steps 15kg, towbar and WDH 25kg, Fuel (100L) 80 kg, portable fridge 30kg, food 20kg, sundry items 20kg, oops nearly forgot, Caravan Ball weight 250kg. (Remember water is 1 kilo per 1 litre.)

That adds up to 640kg – 40kg over legal (and I was being nice with a few of the weights wasn’t I.) That is why you need to know your weights and stay under them so that you will not be told to disconnect on the side of the road (it does hap-pen).

Now you can go hunting for a tow vehicle and maybe even a caravan and join the rest of us who are enjoying life.We also have a wide range of caravan accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock St, Somerville.

Somerville Welcome to

WINTER is a slower time of the year in the garden, but it is still a great time for the planting of vegetables that like the colder conditions. Broad Beans, peas, cabbage, spinach and turnips are all frost resistant.

There isn’t anything that beats the enjoyment of being able to pick and eat your own home grown produce from a

raised bed vegetable garden. Anyone who has grown their own tomatoes will testify to the difference in taste.

Growing your own fruit and/or veggies means that you can pick and eat them as you need them. Homegrown veggies are free from chemical preservatives and by growing your own you can ensure that

they have not been exposed to herbicides and chemical pesticides or genetically modifi ed in any way. Your vegetables will not all ripen at the same time giving you seasonal produce over a long period that only tastes great but if full of nutrition.

Happy Gardening!

TANDOORI INDIAN RESTAURANT

A beginner’s guide to the Australian SenateFOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughRule 1: Get used to red. Outside of hell, nowhere has as much red as the Senate chamber. It looks like the work of the world’s laziest interior decorator. If it proves anything, it’s that sending the apprentice down to the shops to pick out a left-handed hammer can seriously backfi re. The carpet is red. The walls are red. Even the desks are pretty much red. But here’s a tip – if you’re a little on the shy side and don’t want your ugly mug to appear on the news, wear red. It’ll be like you’re not even there. Granted, you’ll need to wear a red veil too, lest you should simply ap-pear on screen as a discombobulated, fl oating cranium.

Rule 2: The person sitting in the big chair should always be addressed as ‘President’. To put this into a party-specifi c perspective, no matter how great the temptation do not refer to him or her as ‘Comrade’ (ALP), ‘Your Majesty’ (Liberal), ‘Maaate’ (Nationals), ‘Imperialist Warmonger-ing Swine’ (the Greens), ‘Gary’ (the Palmer United Party) and especially not, under any circumstances, as ‘Dude’ (Motoring Enthusiasts Party). It should always be as ‘President’. Not even ‘El Presidente’ is good enough. It may seem unnatural at fi rst but, within the fi rst three years of your six-year term, it’ll slip off the tongue with ease.

Rule 3: The front of the building is strictly a loading and unloading zone. Don’t even bother trying to park there. Seriously. It may look

like there’s plenty of room, but don’t be fooled. For some of you, this might be your fi rst company car and you might be desperate for others to notice that you have one, but the big space out the front is solely for drop-ping off and picking up. If you do decide to throw caution to the wind and take the spot right at the door, not only are you inviting trouble from the most ferocious set of wheel clamps this side of Lake Burley-Griffi n, your car may be detonated in a controlled

explosion for security reasons and to teach you a lesson.

Rule 4: ‘House of Cards’ is not an instructional video. If you’re new to politics, don’t believe everything you’ve seen on TV. That includes broadcasts of ICAC proceedings. Politicians are not scheming, con-niving manipulators and, no matter what Kevin Spacey may have led you to believe, are not motivated purely by self interest. It’s not about betrayal and bloodshed. By all means,

enjoy House of Cards as a piece of light-hearted entertainment but there are plenty of real instructional videos that senators can borrow from the Parliamentary library if they wish. If you do feel the need for some tutoring on how to go about your duties, we’ve received favourable reports from members concerning Game of Thrones. You’ll fi nd it in the ‘self-help’ section. If you prefer to do things the old fashioned way, Machiavelli’s The Prince is also quite popular and is located on the ‘DIY’ shelf. With a little study and appli-cation, you’ll be working the room like the professional you, technically speaking, now are.

Rule 5: Get used to spending lots of time with people you’ve just insulted. Politics is a funny thing. One moment you’re sticking the boots into your political opponent as if he was a human Sherrin and you were trying to slot one through the goal posts from fi fty metres out; next, you’re sitting next to each other in a plane or stuck on the same committee for six months. If you refer to another member of the Senate or, indeed, the Parliament, as a demented psychopath whose polices make the regime in North Korea look a little on the timid side, that’s the person you’re going to get stuck in the elevator with. When trapped in such an awkward moment, simply hold your mobile phone to you ear and have a pretend conversa-tion. We all do it.

Rule 6: Get used to being away from home. You may be representing

Victoria or Queensland or even one of the Territories, but prepare yourself to spend a lot less time there and whole lot more time here where the mornings are cold, people get excited about hamburgers available from a caravan and the local newspaper features a story about bizarre public servant workers’ compensation claims pretty much every day.

Rule 7: Most rumours are exactly that, rumours. Despite what you may have heard, at 8pm on Wednesdays we do not dim the lights and pump up the tunes with the wheels of steel to turn the Chamber into a giant disco. That’s strictly Tuesdays only. Wednesdays are pot luck. Make sure you pack a casserole dish and bear in mind that the dietary restrictions of the various senators are published on the intranet. If any of you are wheat intolerant, celiac or, God forbid, vegetarian, speak now or forever hold your peace because on Fridays we do Charcoal Chicken for lunch. As for other things you may have heard, there is not a bomb shelter under Old Parliament House. The bomb shelter is under the front lawn. Should the unthinkable happen and the need arise, the code word for entry is ‘bacon’.

Rule 8: Quota / schmota. t doesn’t matter if you romped it in or have arrived with a half percent mandate courtesy of a preference deal that makes quantum physics look like a game for simpletons, you’ve got a job to do. Best of [email protected]


By Karli DuckettWe seem to have hit the terrible twos earlier than expected in this house. In fact…I think the term is somewhat of a misnomer. They should call it, ‘the age of trying to “break” your parents’… and I am suspicious that it might last from toddler-hood to that time that you’re supposed to be ‘grown-up’. After a morning of more high-pitched noise pollution than any human being should have to endure, I packed our banshee into the car and raced off to refuge with his Nanna & Poppy.

It is there that I found a fl eeting minute of calm and clarity, along with the inspiration for this article. I had a cheeky nap there while Bubba Duck did and when I woke, I had a peek out of their open window. Looking out over their familiar backyard, a feeling of reassurance and warmth washed over me. Our perfectly imperfect family is beautiful and real, just the right balance of routine and chaos for our lucky young man to thrive in. His Nanna and Poppy allow him too much ice-cream and chocolate (that much is true), but his memories will be of racing down their staircase while clutching the beautiful old wooden handrail, deeply coloured with a rich history. He will point at photographs on their wall of his Mum and Dad, young and full of expectation and ask, “who are they?” Dinners will be had on laps on their couch

whilst getting swept away in movie story lines….Poppy forever at the ready to cover him and his big cousins with one of Nanna’s soft blankets when they give in to sleep. Our son may be young, but he is clever. The model cars that Poppy taught him are only for gazing upon are already making it into grubby hands, one-by-one at Bubba Duck’s request. He is also clever enough to realise that if he lets Nanna comb his hair to the side (the way she loves to do), he might just get a little treat in return.

For his Grandma, Bubba Duck is her fi rst

grandchild. At Grandma and Grandpa’s house, he can indulge in his love of exploring and running carelessly in the sun (or rain!) Their home is gradually being ‘redecorated’ with rubber ducks, a highchair, noisy toys and old relics that will intrigue our son as he grows and enjoys more independence. Grandpa has a tractor and a huge shed fi lled with curios that a little boy with busy hands will investigate with the intense concentration of a scientist trying to prove a hypothesis. Grandma has a warm and soft lap …. forever waiting for those rare moments when a little bottom sits still long enough to enjoy a cuddle. She sings animated songs and loves our child as much as she does her own two grown children …. possibly more!

Observing our son’s grandparents weaving into his colourful life has given me as much joy as the day he entered our world. It has also served as a poignant reminder to be kinder to my own parents. No-one can prepare you for what it will truly be like when you become a parent and there is no manual guiding you how to do the job perfectly. Sacrifi ce becomes a regular action as you care for the little life you are responsible for. We are all fallible and uncertain, and just trying to do the best job we can. And it is immensely comforting to know that on the days we struggle to do that well, the parents that have ‘been there, and done that’ are

right behind us ready to do it all again!Mumma Duck Says is a place where

life and food gets in the way! A place for Karli to share her cooking, motherhood and creative journey with friends. You can follow her via Mumma Duck Says on Facebook or visit her blog at www.mummaduckblog.wordpress.com

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntPINES season is over after it was overrun by Mt Eliza in Peninsula League football on Saturday.

Although the Pythons percentage was not at a competitive level in comparison to the teams above it on the ladder, enough wins would have given them every opportunity to make the fi nal fi ve.

However, the loss means that Pines is no longer a chance to play fi nals in 2014.

They did go down with a mighty fi ght though.

The more naturally gifted Redlegs went into the match as favourites but were forced to work for the four points.

The home side led by nine points at the fi nal change but with the aid of the wind the Redlegs were able to kick four goals to a single behind in the last quarter to win 12.5 (77) to 9.8 (62).

Darren Booth and Sam Gill were outstanding for the Redlegs while John Meesen was a key contributor in the ruck.

Guy Hendry booted four goals for the Pythons while 18-year-old Pat Jackson played his best senior game. Pat follows in the footsteps of his brilliant father and uncle, Stella and Robbie Jackson, in the Python pit. Chris Guganovic was also dominant through the middle of the ground for the Pythons.

Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico declared the second half against Chelsea on Saturday was the best brand of footy his side has played all season.

With a side that is now almost at full strength, Artico said his team’s style in the second half highlighted that his charges were starting to “get the message”.

“There is a lot of talent in this team but if they are not playing the style of footy that we want, talent isn’t going to get us the four points,” Artico said.

“I thought we were OK in the fi rst half, but once again inaccuracy in front of goal cost us a decent lead.

“It was good to hit the scoreboard in the second half and record a really solid win.”

The Kangaroos won the game 17.15 (117) to 7.5 (47).

Sean Herdman, Matt Dimkos and

Beau Muston all booted four goals each for the Kangas while Ash Fenech was brought back into the side for his defensive pressure and was rewarded with two goals.

Matt Baxter booted three goals for the Gulls and was one of his team’s best, while Jason Clark was also a fi ne contributor.

Frankston YCW fl exed its muscles and proved that it is the side to beat for the 2014 premiership after knocking over Bonbeach by nearly six goals.

David Bodley put on a footy clinic for the Stonecats, booting seven goals in a best on ground display.

It was a massive day for the club with Ben Tellis playing his 250th game, Tony Lester his 200th and Anthony Barry his 150th.

The three genuine stars of the competition celebrated in style.

The Stonecats not only hit the scoreboard but they also restricted the opposition to just three goals in the fi rst half of the match. That’s where the game was won.

Byron Barry and Kyle Hutchison dominated in the 14.9 (93) to 9.4 (58) victory.

Dylan Jones was superb in the ruck for the Sharks while Mark Tyrrell and Paul Rebeschini were also tireless in their efforts.

Mornington was forced to work hard to get the four points against Seaford.

The Doggies trailed at half time and held just a three point lead at the fi nal change.

However, the likes of Barry Smeeton and Emilio Bitters stepped up to the plate when the game needed to be won in the fi nal term and with Adrian Speedy booting three goals, the Dogs went on to record a 14.11 (95) to 10.17 (77) victory.

The Tigers booted 4.7 in the second half, which really did have an impact on the fi nal result. Josh Stokes was the best of the Tigers.

Edithvale Aspendale gave Karingal a hiding, winning 23.22 (160) to 4.4 (28).

Brad Tagg booted six goals and Matt Kremmer four for the Eagles while Craig Wray and Zac Muschialli dominated.

Hadley Tomamichael, Tom Wilkinson and Michael Burke were the best of the Bulls.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntWHAT a sensational round of football in Nepean League on Saturday.

At the end of it, Crib Point was sitting pretty on top of the ladder, a game clear of Dromana, Sorrento and Red Hill.

Rosebud kept its season alive with a good victory over Hastings, while Sorrento moved into the top three for the fi rst time this season with a win against Red Hill.

Dromana lost its second game on the trot on Saturday, beaten by Rye, who are now starting to fi nd a bit of form.

With fi fth spot still wide open, the sides fi ghting for it really needed to grab hold of the opportunity.

Rye certainly did that, as did Rosebud, while Hastings failed to grab its opportunity.

Many believe in the competition that Rye is one of the best three sides in the league, on paper that is…

On Saturday, it matched its potential with its performance on the fi eld where it matters, especially after quarter time.

The Tigers jumped out of the blocks and within a blink of an eye, the quarter time siren had sounded and Rye found themselves 33 points down at the change.

Rye worked back into the game in the second quarter with an eight goal to two burst to grab a 3-point lead at the halfway mark of the match. The third quarter was pretty even and the game was anyone’s at the fi nal change.

The Demons got out to a 19-point lead in the last quarter before the Tigers came back to get within seven points.

The Demons steadied and pushed the margin back out to 13 before Dromana surged again.

With just two minutes left on the clock, the Tigers had reduced the margin back to a goal.

That was the fi nal margin, Rye winning 16.8 (104) to 15.8 (98).

Andrew Dean was superb for the Demons, booting six goals, while Ben Holmes dominated across half forward with four majors.

The performance of these two

Nepean hots right up, Rye play to potentialNepean hots right up, Rye play to potential

proved that they both need to play forward.

Aaron Findlay shared the ruck duties with Rhett Sutton and Chris Gleeson played higher up the fi eld, rather than being a stay at home full forward.

Ryan Semmel was dominant once again for the Demons while Jai Lloyd was simply superb, shutting down the dangerous Anthony Bruhn.

The Tigers went into the game without Steven Gaertner and Ash Waterstone. They were far from full strength.

However, word is Gaertner’s performances generally have been well below par and he has a lot of improving to do.

Jay Neratzoglou was able to play a different kind of role and that netted a couple of goals for him, while Christian Ongarello was also very good over four quarters.

The Rye win really does show that the premiership race is wide open in Nepean League.

Sorrento celebrated its 1964 and

2004 Premiership Reunions with a hard fought victory over Red Hill.

Star forward Leigh Poholke has taken his game to a new level this season and his seven goals on Saturday was the difference between his side winning and losing.

Poholke’s seven goals did come at a cost. He was reported in the second quarter by the goal umpire.

He spent 15 minutes on the sidelines but Red Hill couldn’t capitalise.

They missed easy opportunities in front of goal and then gave away two 50 metre penalties that resulted in Sorrento goals, their only two majors of the quarter.

Instead of going into the half time break in front, the Hillmen were seven points down.

The fi nal margin was just 10 points, the Sharks winning 12.14 (86) to 11.10 (76).

Michael Dillion, Jimmy McCall and Jarryd Douglas with four goals were the best of the Hillmen, while Poholke was the stand out player for the Sharks.

Ryan Jeffrey also worked hard for the winners, as did Matt Dobrowalski, Johnny Casper and Daniel Grant.

Rosebud is still in fi nals contention after hanging on to beat Hastings by 10 points.

The Buds booted only 20 points last week against Rye but accuracy in front of goal this week ensured victory. The Buds won the match 12.6 (78) to 9.14 (68).

Rosebud set up the win with a seven goal to two second quarter, giving them a 19-point buffer at the major interval.

Once again, Hastings let themselves down with one poor quarter of footy.

It was an arm wrestle after half time and Hastings had plenty of chances but they just couldn’t get the job done.

Keegan Downie was a welcome addition for the Buds with four goals, while Tom Baker was also superb with four majors. Ben Dwyer also dominated, along with Chris Dew and Brenton Payne.

Steven Robb was once again

Hastings’ best, along with Kain and Taylor Stratton, who have been outstanding this season for the Blues.

At three quarter time in the match between Somerville and Crib Point, it looked like the Eagles were going to cause the boilover of the season. They led by 28 points at the main change.

However, 30 minutes later, the Magpies had booted seven goals to two to snatch victory by a goal.

It was the third time this season that the Pies had won by a goal or less.

Jon Flack with six goals was the difference between the sides. He was superb.

Paul Smith and Luke Herrington each booted two goals for the Pies and their contribution to the win was signifi cant.

David Hirst booted four for the Eagles and Adrian Ridout was back and he booted three majors. Cal Dixon, Jedd Sutton and Leigh Stewart were the best performers for the Eagles.

16-year-old James Doria made his senior debut for Devon Meadows against Tyabb on Saturday and booted a goal with his fi rst kick. James also went on to boot a further two majors for the match.

It was the fi rst time that the three Doria brothers, James, Alex and Chris (pictured) had played footy together. You get the feeling it won’t be the last!

The Panthers were far too strong for the Yabbies, as expected, winning 20.18 (138) to 6.6 (42).

James Bow booted eight for the winners while big name players Stef Baumgartner, Billy Hayes, Cal O’Hare and Brian Wapshott were at their best.

Jake Anderson was once again Tyabb’s best, also booting two goals.

Frankston Bombers enjoyed another victory, this time getting the job done over Pearcedale, 15.12 (122) to 5.7 (37).

Duncan Proud was superb and arguably the best man on the ground for the Bombers with three goals while James Degenhardt was also dominant. Corey Macari also played his best game of senior football.

Chris Fortnam booted four goals for the Dales and was comfortably his team’s best player.

Brothers in arms: The Doria brothers James, Alex and Chris all played for Devon Meadows for the fi rst time in the same side on Saturday. The Panthers thrashed Tyabb 138-42 to give the trio a big win to celebrate.

Crunch time: Rosebud got up over Hastings by 10 points to keep its season alive as Nepean League teams vie for fi nals berths. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

CRIB POINT FNCBy Jared Newton THEY say the mark of a good football side is when you don’t play your best football and still win. All day it seemed events were conspiring against Crib: a dedicated opposition, some heavy knocks, questionable umpiring and a 27-point defi cit at three quarter time. Not even the most optimistic of fans thought they were going to get away with a win.

James Cook, well held for three quarters got on top, the midfi eld, beaten for three quarters got on top, and Flack – well, he was dominant all day - continued to rip his opponent apart from the goal square kicking six and handing several other goals off as the Pies piled on seven fi nal quarter goals to snatch a six point victory.

Despite the dominance in the last quarter, the fi rst three weren’t so great as the Pies could not get a fl ow going and struggled to get their hands on the ball and were looking fl at. Coach Duane Annable gave the troops a pep talk at the fi nal change where it dawned on the troops a loss could see them slump to 4th and outside the double chance positions on the ladder.

The win now sees Crib Point on top of the ladder heading into some crucial games of football that will ultimately determine their position as a true contender or a side making up numbers in the fi ve.

The reserves games was a high

quality see-sawing affair between two quality sides but it was Somer-ville with their noses in front when it counted as they snuck away with a three-point win against the Magpies.

The lead changed hands several times throughout the match and it looked when it seemed one side gained the ascendency; the other came back hard to take control.

It seemed Crib Point had the game sewn up ten minutes from the fi nal siren but full credit to Somerville who snagged the last three goals to take the game by three points. The Pies had a chance to win the game with a shot on goal in the last minute but it didn’t quite pan out.

The reserves’ fi nals chances are now remote but on Saturday’s form there is no doubt they’re in the best fi ve sides in the comp. Should they be able to win their remaining fi ve matches it is still possible but with a tough draw it’s going to be diffi cult.

The under 18s fought valiantly against their opponents in the early game to go down by 11 points. Again the boys put in a good effort and certainly are the most improved team in their competition going from easy beats to solid performers. The last fi ve games present a huge opportunity to lift from 11th to 9th or so with a couple of winnable games ahead.

Dromana this week poses a huge threat to all three sides and the games in the seniors and reserves will largely determine their fate in 2014.

Flack attack has Eagles in a flap HASTINGS FNC

By Phil StoneSeniors: It was big game up against Rosebud who were level on points with us. Our pressure in the fi rst quarter was fantastic we had 30 tackles and the boys looked switched on from the start. It was disappointing we didn’t convert our chances and instead of going 3 to 4 goals up we were only one goal up at quarter time. Our pressure as the match progressed died off and Rosebud got the upper hand on the spread. We went down by 10 points despite having more scoring shots. It is very dis-appointing to walk away with a loss and missing a great chance to keep our hopes alive. We must keep going on and look to improve each week and move on, but it was defi nitely a bad result for us on the weekend. Rosebud won the match 12.6 (78) to 9.14 (68).

Reserves: An important game between 5th and 6th to see who took the right to stay in the fi ve, the young boys were urged to be harder at the contest from the fi rst bounce and didn’t disappoint applying pressure all around the ground. By half time the reserves were in front by a couple of goals in a low scoring game in trying conditions. Going into the second half you could see whichever team was going to be the most committed would come out on top. At three quarter time the boys were up by three goals in a game that was up for grabs by both sides. Rosebud seemed to get the edge in the last quarter as both sides tired with ten minutes to go. The young blue boys stood up with fi ve minutes left and fought for every contest to come out in top by a point in a thrilling game of footy. Better players on the day were S.Clancy with a dozen plus marks and some beautiful kicking, C.Sawocz with his run out of the back line and N.Goodacre playing on Rosebud’s senior full forward. The rest of the boys played team orientated football full of commitment which was great to watch.

Under 18s: Devon Meadows stormed home for a com-manding 66-point round 13 win over an undermanned Tyabb-Hastings. Scoreless in the fi rst quarter, Tyabb-Hastings were on the back foot after being able to fi eld 16 players. Devon Meadows kicked the next three goals

of the second quarter pressing for a big blow out. But the switch fl icked for the away side as they kicked the next goals goals in quick succession. Applying massive tacking pressure, Tyabb-Hastings weren’t to be taken lightly. Stephen Williams was in season best form and was everywhere taking contested marks and fi nding the ball all over the fi eld, while Laz Cuttriss was solid in the midfi eld and popped up for two goals. The defi cit was at a manageable 37 points at three quarter time but Tyabb-Hastings were restricted to 15 players going in to the last quarter and were unable to withstand a last quarter barrage from Devon. A respectable effort and will look to regain a few players next week when they come against Red Hill.

NETPORT REPORT by Aaron WilsonC grade: Good effort, I’m impressed with your endeav-our. You never give up and the improvement you are showing as a team. Great stuff! Jess Lanigan put in a really great effort, great hands over the ball and always shouting out positive encouragement. Jess Reid: Play-ing a different position and are giving it a good crack and shooting with accuracy.

B grade: Disappointing despite getting 2 points for the draw but unfortunately gave our lead away and all the hard work that we had done to get into that posi-tion. Feels like have lost the winning feeling and how to achieve it. Undisciplined acts let us down. Mikayla: strong rebounds and leads down the court, consistent over all four quarters, led from the front. Mica Renee: awesome defensive game. Put pressure on all the way with tight man on man defence and hands over. Some passes into the ring weren’t always getting there but worked hard to get them back.

A grade: Superb effort by all eight players today for our second win of the season, there were no weak links and I was rapt with how defensive we played. Hard to pick awards. Steph led us through the middle of the court with good direction and great defensive pressure. Sheri-dan was consistent as always, hands over everything. Great anticipation and support down the court.Five games to go. Let’s fi nish this season strong!
