By Neil WalkerSCHOOL bus funding cuts mean many peninsula parents may soon have to arrange alternative transport for their children.
State government cuts to free school bus services in Victoria, announced late last year and to be phased in across the state over six years, are set to hit the peninsula from 2014.
The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development re-
assessed Melbourne’s urban growth boundary last year, and included the peninsula in the zone for the fi rst time. The reclassifi cation meant schools no longer qualifi ed for a conveyance allowance to fund school transport.
No new passengers will be allowed on school buses from next year if the school attended is more than 4.8 kilometres from home. Students who currently travel to schools more than this distance from home will still
be able to catch a free bus but the arrangement will end in 2018.
Many parents in the Western Port region only found out about the loss of free school bus services when enquiring about enrolling their children at Mornington Secondary College next year.
Somerville father-of-two Michael Rusic said the change in government policy seemed designed to force children to attend specifi c schools
even if they did not have the right curriculum for their education.
“We became aware of the situation when we did a tour of Mornington Secondary College a couple of months ago,” he said. “The change means younger kids will not be able to be on the same bus as their older brothers and sisters and may not be able to attend the same school. A lot of parents are really upset about it.”
Mr Rusic, whose children attend
Somerville Rise Primary School, has set up a Facebook page called “Buses for the Peninsula” in an effort to show government bureaucrats and politicians how the change in policy impacts some families.
Parents worried about the end of free school bus services on the peninsula can join the Facebook group. More than 40 people have joined since it went live last month.

Since the fresh produce redistribution program arrived in Hastings several months ago, Western Port Community Support volunteers – including Lisa Reardon, Christine Jansen and June King (pictured) – have provided more than 500 fresh fruit and vegetable parcels to emergency relief clients.
SecondBite is a not-for-profi t group that collects surplus fresh food and produce that would otherwise go to waste. It arranges safe and timely distribution to agencies and people in need.
Western Port Community Support manager John Fraser said there had been a need for a fruit and vegetable program for a considerable time.
“It’s exhilarating to know that fresh produce is going to local families who may otherwise not have access to fruit and vegetables” he said.
Western Port Community Support at 185 High St, Hastings, is open week days 10am-4pm for clients wanting to access its emergency relief programs.

In 2004, John Howard protected a third of the Great Barrier Reef in a sanctuary for marine life.
The Reef is now a tourism icon and economic powerhouse.
But now, Tony Abbott is placing that legacy at risk by promising to remove protections for marine life around Australia.
It’s time to move forward, not backwards, and safeguard our oceans and healthy coastal lifestyle once and for all.

By Chris BrennanTHE peninsula’s scooter brigade is on the charge – literally – thanks to an in-novative scheme set to deliver power to the people.
Mornington Peninsula businesses and organisations have been invited to sign on to a battery recharge scheme under which they will provide free ac-cess to electricity outlets to enable mo-bility scooter users to recharge their vehicles while out and about.
Twelve locations have already been established across the peninsula under the shire council’s Scooter Recharge Scheme including at shopping cen-tres, libraries, community centres and health care providers.
The mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, launched the scheme last week and said the high proportion of elderly people on the peninsula meant there was a heavy reliance on mobility de-vices.
“Unfortunately the downfall of these wonderful devices are the batteries only last a few hours and can be very problematic for users when they are out in the community for any length
Free plugdeliverspower topeople
of time. By inviting businesses and or-ganisations to provide a power point for people to recharge the batteries of their scooter we are ensuring people who use such devices can travel without fear of being stranded by a fl at battery.”
She said it was vital the shire planned for the needs of an ageing population, with estimates suggesting 17 per cent of peninsula residents – or more than 34,000 people – would be aged over 70 by 2021.
“Devices such as scooters or wheel-chairs allow people with restricted mo-bility to be able to move more freely within our community, improving the overall quality of life of people in the local community.
“The aim of the Scooter Recharge Scheme is to maximise the opportu-
nities so all people of all abilities can participate as equal citizens within our community. Having accessible re-charge locations throughout the shire enables people to travel for longer and be more active in the community.”
Current participants in the scheme are: Bentons Square Community Cen-tre, Hastings Library, Mornington Li-brary, Pelican Park Recreation Centre, Seawinds Community Hub, Somer-ville Recreation and Community Centre, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Rosebud offi ce, Peninsula Health’s Hastings Community Health, Penin-sula Health’s Rosebud Community Health, Peninsula Health’s Rosebud Hospital, Rosebud Plaza shopping centre and Western Port Visitor Infor-mation Centre.

By Chris BrennanCRIME on the Mornington Peninsula de-creased slightly over the past 12 months, des-pite an almost 24 per cent rise in the number of rapes reported and a 51 per cent jump in sex offences.
Also of concern was a 43 per cent surge in serious drug offences such as traffi cking and manufacturing. Growing use of methamphet-amine (also known as ice) was highlighted as the most signifi cant drug issue.
The latest Victoria Police statistics for the year to 30 June show the total number of crimes recorded on the peninsula fell 0.1 per cent from the previous year, compared to a 3.4 per cent rise for Victoria as a whole.
The crime rate per 100,000 people was down 1 per cent for the peninsula but 1.6 per cent higher across the state.
The slight drop in crime on the peninsula stood in stark contrast to Frankston, where crime surged 7.6 per cent – almost fi ve times the rate of increase for Victoria as a whole.
However, police said this was due to the in-creased number of police offi cers in the area and better enforcement rather than an actual rise in offending.
The annual statistics, which were released last week, show 47 rapes were reported be-tween 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013, com-pared to 38 over the preceding 12 months, an increase of 23.7 per cent, while 210 sex of-fences not including rape were recorded, up 51.1 per cent from 139 cases the year before.
There was a 10.8 per cent rise in assaults on the peninsula, with 1054 offences recorded compared to 951 the year before, while drug offences increased 16.4 per cent (to 377 from 324), including a 42.9 per cent spike in the number of charges laid for commercial ac-tivities such as cultivation, manufacture and traffi cking.
Enhanced police search and seizure powers
resulted in a 53 per cent rise in the number of weapons offences detected, with 207 charges laid compared to 134 the year before, while theft from shops surged 58 per cent to 354 of-fences from 224 following an increased num-ber of police operations targeting shoplifting, especially over school holidays.
Leading the decline in the peninsula’s over-all crime rate was a 33.3 per cent drop in the number of robberies, with just 26 offences reported compared to 39 over the previous 12 months, while theft from motor vehicle was down 26.7 per cent to 979 from 1335, burglary was 19 per cent lower at 635 from 666, car theft (down 9.5 per cent to 239 from 264) and harassment (54.5 per cent lower at 122 from 399).
Mornington Peninsula police commander Inspector Bryan Sharp welcomed the im-proved results for most categories of crime, commending the work of his predecessor Chief Inspector Ron Cooke who recently re-tired, as well as efforts by the community at large to help tackle criminal behaviour.
“I am pleased to say that over the previ-ous reporting period, our community has achieved reductions in most categories of crime and road trauma,” Inspector Sharp said.
“While assaults have increased slightly, robberies have decreased by a signifi cant 33.3 per cent. Property offences including burglary (other), theft of motor vehicle and theft from motor vehicle have also experi-enced marked reductions, while on the roads, our serious injury collisions are well down, which is also a very pleasing result.”
However, he said family violence remained a serious concern and was largely responsible for the increase in the rate of crime against the person, a category that includes rape, as-sault and murder.
“Family violence is an ongoing statewide
issue that exacts a terrible toll on families and the community. These destructive behaviours will remain a priority for police and support groups.
“The Mornington Peninsula family vio-lence unit will continue to target recidivist offenders and offer support to victims, so I urge all members of our community to speak out against family violence.”
Across Victoria, the total crime rate was up a moderate 1.6 per cent compared to the same period last year, but Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said the 21.6 per cent rise in family violence offences was a growing concern.
“We know that family violence-related crime is signifi cantly impacting on our crime statistics,” Mr Lay said.
“Over the past 10 years, family violence-related crime against the person has increased by nearly 400 per cent. This is mainly due to increase in assaults.
“We don’t think we’ve seen the extent that this horrible crime is having on our com-munity. While we know changes to the way police respond to and record family violence incidents, as well as greater community con-fi dence to report these matters, is pushing up these fi gures, it’s alarming that such a high volume of crime is being committed in the home and that people are at risk in their own homes.”
He also highlighted an increase of almost 12 per cent (per 100,000 people) in drug offences across Victoria, which was being driven by increased ice and amphetamine use, and said he would be “very surprised” if this was not contributing to the rising tide of family violence.
“Drug offences have been enormously problematic for us in the past 12 months,” Mr Lay said.
“We know there is a signifi cant increase in the use of ice in the community.”

GERMAN supermarket chain Aldi will open its new Somerville store at 8.30am on Wednesday 2 October.
The project has been more than six years in the making with the company fi rst approaching Mornington Peninsula Shire in July 2007.
It sought approval for a store on the eastern side of Frankston-Flinders Rd next to the shire-owned Somerville Preschool.
In 2010, the shire council supported the relo cation of the preschool to a new building behind Somer ville Primary School and sold the land to Aldi for about $750,000 for its supermarket and car park.
The move caused dissension in the town with some resi-dents objecting to the sale of the preschool land, which had been donated to the community for a kindergarten built in the 1950s to honour Somerville’s Second World War ser-vicemen and women.
On Friday, an Aldi spokeswoman told The News the store would bring “smarter shopping, employment opportunities and retail competition to the community”.
“Somerville residents are invited to come and experience Aldi’s shopping innovations and high quality exclusive brands at permanently low prices.
“Aldi store openings typically draw a large crowd of people who queue to be fi rst through the doors.”

THE colourful history of Red Hill, from its original Aboriginal inhabitants to early pioneering days and right up to the modern day, has been brought to life in 28-metre mural created by Red Hill Consolidated School students.
Art students from grades 5 and 6 worked with Red Hill artist Michael Leeworthy, who tutored them in design, drawing and painting for the project, while members of the Red Hill Lions Club assisted in installing the mural in the school grounds.
Leeworthy said school principal Leanne Marshall and art teacher Ian Jarman had been “wonderful to work with” and the pupils were “very enthusiastic” participants.
“Wanting to work on the mural in their lunch break showed they really like doing it,” he said.
The enormous artwork, which was funded by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Community Partnerships program, was unveiled last week at a ceremony attended by Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin.
Cr Martin said the project had provided students with a valuable insight into the way artists works “from planning, designing, listening to stories from local elders with the artist, and pulling it all together to achieve a fi nished creative outcome”.

STUDENTS lives and experiences provided the raw material for the dialogue in a play about two brothers who spend a day sorting through rubbish left outside houses in their street.
Workshops with about 50 students from Western Port and Dromana secondary colleges gave producer and ac-tor Dave Houston his narrative for Hard Rubbish Day.
The workshop ended with the students performing on stage at Western Port, while the fi nished product will be presented next Wednesday at Cube 37 in Frankston.
Sifting through the unwanted bits and pieces of lives lived behind closed doors was grist for the mill for two brothers.
They barely survived a party that went viral on social media but their house was not so fortunate, bringing wide media coverage and not-so-welcome fame.
Hard Rubbish Day covers mental health, suicide, self-harm, eating disorders and social media.
“There was quite a lot of laughter and a fair amount of tears. When we performed the play, it made us proud of each other and brought us even closer together. The younger students realised that they were not alone,” said Western Port year 11 student Megan Sutherland, who played in the colleges’ version of Hard Rubbish Day.
“The fi nal version of the play came from situations that the students had experienced.
“We thought it was a chance to get our parents to un-derstand how we feel and see things without having to talk to them individually and feel out of place. It’s one thing hearing about a situation but I think it had more of an effect seeing it on stage.”
Student wellbeing coordinator Tim Ward said the pro-gram and performance helped students feel better about themselves “and promoted better ways to deal with the complex issues that are affecting them”.
“Students selected were those who had faced some diffi cult situations and environments and, I think, the play refl ected this.”

New ‘air’ systemNew ‘air’ systemfor art galleryfor art galleryMORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery in Civic Reserve, Mornington, will be closed from September till mid-December for an upgrade of its air-conditioning system at a cost of $400,000.
A Mornington Peninsula Shire spokeswoman said the upgraded system would “ensure the gallery meets international standards for temperature, humidity and particle fi ltration, and enable the gallery to continue to borrow major works and secure signifi cant touring exhibitions”.
“The gallery will not present exhibitions during the upgrade period, and its popular public and education programs will operate from alternative venues.
“The gallery team will remain at the gallery and can be contacted during normal business hours.”
About 48,000 people visited the gallery for the month-long Archibald Prize fi nalists exhibition, which closed in early July.
The gallery and associated service providers made income of $750,000 including shop and cafe operations.

CANDIDATES for the federal seat of Flinders lined up in front of about 40 voters at a public meeting in Hastings on Tuesday last week.
Topics covered were as varied as the 10 candidates who, besides the major three par-ties (Liberal, Labor and Greens), appear to represent single issues (non-custodial parents, families, Christians, reduced immigration and mining magnate Clive Palmer).
Flinders is comfortably held with a nine per
cent majority by Liberal Greg Hunt, who is likely to be the environment minister if the Coalition led by Tony Abbott wins the Satur-day 7 September election.
Representatives of Hastings Chamber of Commerce asked where jobs for young people would come from if expansion of the Port of Hastings was abandoned.
Mr Hunt was pressured to commit to a thor-ough environmental assessment of Western
Port under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.
Mr Hunt said he favoured port develop-ment and described how his late father Alan, a former Victorian planning minister, had been credited with helping protect Western Port from industrialisation.
One candidate questioned the need for a port while another advocated a new port on the west-ern shore of Port Phillip.

STATE government plans to dredge the Port of Geelong’s shipping channel will not impact proposed expansion of Hastings, says Port of Hastings Deve lopment Authority boss Mike Lean.
Premier Denis Napthine last Wednesday said the gov-ernment would spend $5 million to dredge up to 13,000 cubic metres of clay and mud to deepen and widen the shipping channel to enable bigger ships to enter Gee-long’s port.
Mr Lean said the expansion of Geelong’s bulk and break bulk trades would “complement the future Port of Hastings container expansion”.
“This is also reaffi rmed in the City of Geelong’s port and land infrastructure plan, which sees the port playing a supportive role to Hastings in the future,” he said.
“Victorian Regional Channels Authority has a respon-sibility under legislation for all re gional commercial port waters, including Hastings and Geelong. Expressions of interest for Geelong channel dredging are open to both Australian and inter national companies.”
Knowledge gained “from this exercise will be benefi -cial for the planning for containerised freight expansion at the Port of Hastings”.
Dredging at Geelong was expected to start next March.Dr Napthine said trade and employment at Geelong was
expected to double by 2030. He said the port created 1600 direct and indirect jobs in the region, exporting grain, fer-tiliser, logs and wood chips, steel, oil and aluminium.
Dr Napthine said dredging would meet the require-ments of the Environment Protection Au thority.

WESTERNPORT TRACTORS & IMPLEMENTS 1863 FRANKSTON FLINDERS ROAD, HASTINGS. PH: 5979 2155.
By Keith PlattSURFERS are pressuring Flinders MP Greg Hunt to make sure beaches and wave quality are considered in studies assessing the environmental impact of an expanded Port of Hastings.
Surf breaks in Western Port and Phillip Island have been included on a list of Australia’s “most endangered waves”.
Rex Campbell, chairman of the Sur-frider Foundation, said Mr Hunt was likely to be the next federal environ-ment minister and should make sure environmental effects of the proposed Port of Hastings expansion were in-vestigated “at the highest level possi-ble” under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.
He said dredging shipping channels as well as oil spills could affect beach-es and the quality of waves in Western Port and on the island.
“We want surfi ng and wave quality included in the criteria of any environ-mental impact studies,” Mr Campbell said.
“Surfi ng and our beaches are both huge tourism and economic generators for the peninsula and Phillip Island.
“People fl ood down here from Mel-bourne when the surf is good and dur-ing holidays.
“Dredging could change the amount of sand on beaches and at surf breaks. Surfi ng isn’t like footy where you can go to an oval – waves depend on sand, tides and winds lining up.
“Dredging can lead to massive ero-sion.
“If Mr Hunt is the environment min-ister, he needs to ensure the federal government and his department as-sesses Western Port under the EPBC Act and doesn’t just leave it up to the state.”
Mr Campbell said Mr Hunt assured a candidates’ meeting in Hastings last week that any environmental assess-ment of Western Port would be as thor-ough as any that had ever been seen in Australia.
“We believe he will face confl icts be-tween commitments to remove green tape and making sure this is done.
“They might fi nd it’s not a wise measure to build the port.”
The Surfrider Foundation says an endangered wave “is one where the wave itself is threatened, or the imme-diate coastal environment and surfi ng amenity is threatened, by at least two of the following impacts: coastal de-velopment, accessibility, overcrowd-ing, polluted water, climate change, visual amenity (as seen from the surf and shore) and ecosystem integrity.
The top eight endangered waves listed by the foundation are:1 Bastion Point, Mallacoota, Victoria.2 Keppell Coast, Queensland.3 Ball Bay, Norfolk Island.4 Tam O’Shanter Bay, Tasmania.5 North Narrabeen, Sydney, NSW.6 Bells Beach, Surf Coast, Victoria.7 Kirra, Gold Coast, Queensland.8 Western Port/Phillip Island, Victoria.

By Keith PlattTHE new federal government will be pressured to undertake an environmen-tal assessment of Western Port before any expansion of the Port of Hastings.
The Victorian National Parks Asso-ciation says new research has shown Western Port’s “globally signifi cant marine and coastal wetlands” face “huge damage” from oil spills.
The Environment Defenders Offi ce says environmental risks and interna-tional obligations need to be assessed before more money is spent on the es-timated $11 billion port project.
However, the state government sees the Port of Hastings taking pressure off the Port of Melbourne by the mid-2020s with a freeway-standard road and rail transport corridor connecting Hastings to Dandenong.
Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who favours port expansion, is likely to be environ-ment minister if the Coalition wins next Saturday’s election.
“Legal experts say that the govern-ment needs to assess the risks before money is wasted on plans that cannot legally go ahead,” said Felicity Millner principal lawyer at the Environment Defenders Offi ce.
“Given what we have been told about the government’s plans to fur-ther develop the expansion, and po-tential damage from oil spills and port development to the environment, we think there is a serious legal question about whether the federal environment minister could approve a signifi cantly expanded port.
“It makes sense to do an assessment as soon as possible. If the damage to the wetlands will be too signifi cant for the port expansion to proceed, then it is inappropriate for the state government to spend funds on progressing plans for the port expansion.”
Damage to the environment will come from dredging of shipping chan-nel, clearing mangroves to fi ll in parts Western Port and road and rail trans-port corridors through Gippsland, the Mornington Peninsula and suburban Melbourne.
The changes will also threaten mi-gratory birds protected under an inter-national agreement, the bay’s ecology and even waves for surfers.
The state government’s Victoria – The Freight State report includes the Western Port Highway being upgraded
to “full freeway standard”.When fully operational, the Port of
Hastings is being designed to handle nine million standard-sized containers a year.
The port is also being designated for bulk and general cargo.
The release of Victoria – The Freight State last month coincided with the Port of Hastings Development Author-ity seeking consultants to conduct site investigations in preparation for ex-pansion of the port.
Hastings Development Authority chief executive Mike Lean said Hast-ings had been earmarked as the site for a major port and industrial develop-ment for more than 40 years.
“Hastings has more than 3000 hec-tares of land zoned for port-related use,” he said.
“We are looking forward to fi nally realising this vision and to creating a world-class facility to help secure Vic-toria’s economic future.”
Greg Hunt told The News that West-ern Port “is of huge environmental sig-nifi cance and we have a duty to ensure that any development is carried out sensitively”.
“I believe the port expansion will be an important boost to Hastings and Western Port in terms of jobs and in-vestment, but it must be carried out under strict environmental conditions.
“A consideration of Australia’s inter-national obligations under the Ramsar Convention would be included in the environmental impact studies carried out before any work on the expansion began.
“The planned expansion of the Port of Hastings would have to undergo rigorous environmental assessment at both state and federal levels before any sort of construction work could begin. Both levels of government would have to be satisfi ed that all potential envi-ronmental impacts could be minimised or negated.”
Victorian National Parks Associa-tion spokesman Simon Branigan said Western Port could be damaged by an oil spill.
“The new research found that even relatively small amounts of oil spilled from shipping traffi c in Western Port could reach shorelines within minutes and high conservation areas in less than six hours,” he said.
“We aren’t talking about oil tank-
ers, but rather heavy fuel oil and die-sel spills from container ships and port support vessels.”
The research modelled six oil spill scenarios based on 27 oil spill acci-dents in Australia waters since 1970.
Computer modelling tracked the spills over a two-week period from two locations within Western Port.
“The modelling shows Phillip Island Nature Park is vulnerable to oil spill contamination, and French Island Ma-rine National Park is also at high risk of exposure. It also highlighted the fact that once oil is in the water, it will be hard to stop,” Mr Branigan said.
“Both these parks and many other parts of Western Port are home to key roosting, feeding and breeding habi-tats for waterbirds including annual migrants that breed in Russia, China, Japan and Alaska, and spend the sum-mer months feeding in Western Port.”
The report was commissioned in re-sponse to the state government’s pro-posal to expand the Port of Hastings into an international container port, increasing shipping traffi c from under 100 ships a year to more than 3000.
All of Western Port is listed under the international Ramsar Convention. It is home to 32 species of migratory birds protected by international agreements, making its waters and shorelines sub-ject to national environmental laws.
“Expanding the Port of Hastings poses unacceptable danger to Western Port’s unique environmental, social and recreational values,” Mr Branigan said.
“Any proper assessment must con-sider environmental impacts, all risks and alternative port locations with links to national transport planning.”
Chris Chandler of the Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council said Western Port was a “unique tidal bay and wetland of international impor-tance”.
“We are very concerned that the state government’s plans to turn West-ern Port into an international container port will expose the bay to a spill dis-aster, threatening the area’s rich biodi-versity including its beautiful beaches, seagrass meadows, and native wildlife such as little penguins and black swans as well as highly prized recreational fi shing species King George whiting and snapper.”

principal Sarah Burns is sympathetic to Western Port parents’ concerns, and confi rmed the decision to axe free bus services for some students had been made by the state government, not the school.
“I’m fl attered parents want their children to attend our school, but we can’t break the new statewide rules and it is out of our control,” Ms Burns said.
Tyabb mother-of-two Sandra Chal-kitis was also surprised to learn about the school bus cuts when she enquired about enrolling her eldest child, who attends Tyabb Primary School, at Mornington secondary next year.
“Being able to catch the school bus is a big factor when deciding which school to attend,” she said.
Mrs Chalkitis organised a petition signed by concerned parents that was handed to Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess to pass on to southern peninsula-based state minister for education Martin Dixon and public transport minister Terry Mulder on behalf of his constituents.
Mr Burgess said he had argued strongly to the minister of education and the department that an exception to the policy be made for families who have a child already attending Mornington secondary.
“I do not believe that parents should

be expected to belatedly change schools or have their children attending separate schools,” Mr Burgess said.
A reply from Mr Mulder to Mr Burgess dated 30 July stated a further review by Public Transport Victoria of the current free school bus network for the Mornington school bus centre was expected to be completed by the end of this school year.
However, this statement contra-dicted information provided to The News last week when PTV was asked about future school bus travel from Tyabb to Mornington. A PTV spokesperson advised: “No new ineligible students have been allowed on the free school buses since completion of the 2012 review, as this would contravene the Department of
Education school transport policy. Students from Tyabb who choose to go to their closest school, which is either Somerville Secondary College or Western Port Secondary College, can continue to travel on a free school bus to either of these schools.”
Other areas in regional Victoria have been granted an exemption from the loss of free bus services due to limited
alternative public transport options.Mr Rusic argued such an exemption
should also apply to Western Port since there was no direct public bus service from the region to Mornington.
“Any students travelling to Morn-ington on public transport would have to go via Frankston, which would be totally impractical,” he said.

Coalition commits to training centre planBy Chris BrennanA PROPOSED $1.1 million trade training centre for Western Port Sec-ondary College would go ahead if the Coalition win next week’s federal elec-tion, federal Flinders MP Greg Hunt confi rmed last week.
Mr Hunt refuted ALP claims the trade training centre program would be scrapped if Tony Abbott wins power, affi rming the Coalition’s commitment to the project.
“The Coalition has no plans to shut down any of the trade training centres that are in operation or cancel any pro-jects that have been approved under the latest funding round,” Mr Hunt told The News.
Funding for the Western Port cen-tre was announced late last month by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Edu-cation Minister Bill Shorten as part a $209.8 million government commit-ment to develop 137 new trade training centres across Australia.
Labor candidate for Flinders Joshua Sinclair warned that Mr Abbott had said he would cut the Trade Training Centres in Schools program if elected.
But Mr Hunt welcomed the funding announcement and pledged the project would go ahead under a Coalition gov-ernment.
“I am delighted to learn that Western Port Secondary College has been suc-cessful under the latest funding round
for trade training centres,” Mr Hunt said.
“Should the Coalition be fortunate enough to be elected, all contracts for trade training centres entered into with the Department of Education will be honoured.
“Sadly, the Labor Party has been claiming that we would cancel this project, which is untrue.”
Under the Labor government plan, eligible low socio-economic second-ary schools such as Western Port have been prioritised in funding allocations for the Trades Training Centres in Schools program, which aims to lift the ratio of students completing year 12 or equivalent attainment and im-prove student career options, particu-larly in skills shortage areas.
Funding for the Western Port trade training centre would allow an existing automotive facility to be extended to include an engineering workshop and theory room, the refurbishment of an existing automotive facility to include an automotive workshop, and also the provision of equipment, Mr Sinclair said when announcing the project two weeks ago.
However, Mr Hunt said the govern-ment’s program for trade training cen-tres was well behind schedule.
“We have simply been pointing out that, as of May 2013, only 252 trade training centres had been delivered out
of the 2650 promised by Kevin Rudd in the 2007 election.
“The delays to this national program have been extensive, and schools such as Western Port Secondary College have waited a very long time to secure this funding.”
Mr Hunt said the Coalition would soon announce a comprehensive poli-cy for trades and technical education, which would place an “overwhelm-ing focus on returning the economy to strength and providing much-needed new employment opportunities for ar-eas such as Western Port”.
But Mr Sinclair said the record of the Napthine government in Victoria should serve as an ominous warning for the TAFE sector under a national Coalition government.
“Victorians have already felt the brunt of state Liberal cuts to TAFE, which have ripped $1.2 billion from TAFE since coming to power,” Mr Sinclair said.
“These callous cuts have decimated the TAFE sector, with enrolment fi g-ures showing there are nearly 22,000 fewer students enrolled in TAFE courses, diplomas and apprenticeships in 2013 than at the same time last year.
“Only a Federal Labor government will invest in the future of our young people and ensure they have the skills and training support they need to de-velop to their full potential.”
IT’S time to dig the dirt on all things clean and green as the Mornington Peninsula homes in on national Sustainable House Day this Sunday. The shire’s Eco Living Display Centre will host an array of activities and demonstrations to provide practical advice on how to live more sustainably. Worm farming, pictured above, will be just one of numerous hands-on activities set to entertain and inform visitors to The Briars Park-based display centre. Other demonstrations scheduled will include how to conduct a home energy assessment, draught-proofi ng, creating wicking beds to reduce garden watering, composting and bokashi to reduce the amount of waste unnecessarily going to landfi ll. Sustainable House Day events are from 10am-4pm on Sunday 8 September at the Eco Living Display Centre at The Briars Park, 450 Nepean Hwy, Mt Martha. Entry is free.

AN art exhibition comprising casts of legs and torsos may sound macabre, but the pieces in “Touched by Polio” signify hope and survival.
The casts are vividly illustrated, patterns and even bone structures being used to portray the childhood memories of the artists, who were all affected in some way by polio.
The exhibition was launched in March and is now being shown during September at The Studio @ Flinders Gallery.
Twenty-four artists who have been touched by polio in some way – survivors, family, friends –contributed 35 artworks to the exhibition.
The 14 remaining pieces – textiles, paint and decoupage – are now at Flinders.
Many polio survivors have vivid memories of wearing plaster casts to keep their limbs from becoming deformed during recovery and rehabilitation.
The artists said making the casts was a cathartic experience as they relived the pain of
polio infection and a broken childhood.These “polio children” are now in their 50s
or older, and experiencing the often debilitating late effects of polio, plunging them back into a life fi lled with daily pain and increasing muscle weakness.
The Studio @ Flinders Gallery was established in 2004 by a group of ceramic artists who soon introduced other forms of creative art and craft, including slumped glass, textiles, jewellery, woodwork and sculpture.
Proceeds from the Touched by Polio exhibition go to Polio Australia, which is trying to raise awareness among health professionals of the late effects of polio.
Pictures and details of the works and the artists are at www.polio.org.au/exhibitions
The Studio @ Flinders Gallery is at 65 Cook St, Flinders, 10 am-5pm daily except Mondays and Tuesdays, phone 5989 0077.

Caravan smash puts two in hospitalCaravan smash puts two in hospitalBy Chris BrennanA 61-YEAR-old Frankston security guard is in a critical condition and a 67-year-old Australian Volunteer Coast Guard member from Crib Point remains in a serious but stable condi-tion following a head-on collision in Balnarring last week.
A Hyundai hatchback driven by the Coastcom security guard rolled down an embankment after colliding with a four-wheel drive vehicle towing an of-fi cial Coast Guard caravan on a steep hill on Bittern-Dromana Rd between Merricks and Balnarring roads about 2.30pm on Thursday.
Rescue workers from Dromana CFA took about two hours to cut the se-curity guard out of his work car. He was fl own to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition with chest and head injuries.
The Coast Guard member, who was also travelling alone, was treated by ambulance paramedics at the scene before being taken to Frankston Hos-pital with injuries that were not life threatening.
Hasting police at the accident said it appeared the four-wheel drive driven by the Coast Guard member had lost control on the steep incline, veering on to the wrong side of the road and into the path of the oncoming Hyundai.
“The caravan has started to sway and as a result of that the four-wheel drive has gone on to the incorrect side of the road and collided with the Hyundai,” Sergeant David Collins of Hastings highway patrol said. “It was pretty much a head-on collision.”
The caravan, which is shared among Melbourne Coast Guard fl otillas for
fundraising activities, was destroyed in the crash, with the top section separat-ing from the axle.
The manager of Coastcom, a Morn-ington Peninsula security company based at Sorrento, said the injured se-curity guard was a long-serving and well-regarded member of his team.
“He still in a critical condition at The Alfred,” he said. “We’re just wait-ing for any further news at this stage. We’re all very upset; he’s been with the company for quite some time and we’re all very close down here.
“It’s a very distressing situation. Eve-rybody knows everyone around here
and it has really hits home hard with it being someone we know so well. He was out doing his routine patrols around the Mornington, Hastings and-Dromana section of the peninsula and was travelling between clients when it happened. It’s all such a shock for us.”
Australian Volunteer Coast Guard spokeswoman Deanne Semmner said the accident had shaken the entire or-ganisation.
“Everyone is shell-shocked,” she said. “The outpouring of emotion among fl otillas across the bay has been overwhelming, not just for our member, but for the other gentleman as well.
“Our main concern is obviously for the two men, and mainly for the other gentlemen who was badly injured. Our thoughts and prayers obviously go out to him and his family.”
She said the Coast Guard member served as a skipper at Hastings and was highly experienced. He was transport-ing the caravan to Frankston with his own vehicle to be used in a weekend fundraising event at Langwarrin.
“He’s a very well decorated Coast Guard member,” she said.
“He’s been in the Coast Guard for well over 20 years. He’s a very fi t man and is still skipper down there at Hast-
ings, so he’s often out there on the bay. “He’s doing all right,” she said. “He’s still in hospital, but our concerns are now with the other individual involved who we understand is in a serious con-dition.
“It’s a particularly diffi cult situation. It was such a devastating accident. We’re a volunteer organisation out there trying to do good in the com-munity. We’re so used to saving other people’s lives, so for this to happen is just a terrible tragedy.
“We just want to extend our prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery to the man and his family.”

OPINIONBy Ranald Macdonald and David GillIT appears there has been either a classic ad-ministrative stuff-up or a ministerial backfl ip in mid-air.
The Victorian Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure late last month released the approved rural zones on its website, the last zones to be considered in the government’s zone reform program.
The minister’s press statement was headed ‘‘Green Wedges to thrive from Planning Re-form’’ yet the release seemed to confi rm fears about the future of green wedge protection, following on from the government’s decision to seek private investment and award 99-year leases in national parks.
The approved green wedge zone dismantled the framework of controls and requirements relating to major tourism development that had been established in 2002, and which re-sponded to the ever-increasing pressures aris-ing from metropolitan growth.
For decades after 1968, all Victorian politi-cal parties agreed that a proper mix of country and city, urban and suburban, was in the best interests of the community. But increasingly a view has been presented that green areas need to ‘‘pay their way’’ – not just through support-ing agriculture, recreation and conservation of the environment but by being available for a range of commercial and quasi-commercial uses including restaurants, group accommo-dation, residential hotels and function centres and, more recently, proposals for schools, medical centres and service stations.
Of course the minister, Matthew Guy, would argue that changes enabling consideration of a wide range of uses simply enables councils to consider applications on their merits. Except this is a recipe for speculative applications, loophole hunting at the Victorian Civil and
Administrative Tribunal and so the gradual undermining of the green wedges.
The principle that green wedge areas need to be carefully protected is not best served by a one-at-a-time consideration of applications – therefore the announced changes to the green wedge zone left many people in doubt about the future.
And then something happened. A day later, the department website said there had been a publishing error.
This was no ordinary publishing error, rather an entirely different green wedge zone appears to have been approved, retaining the majority of the existing control framework and, in fact, adding an additional prohibition on freeway service centres. That, as they say, is the good news.
The bad is the fate of the other rural zones, and particularly the farming zone and rural conservation zones. These, unfortunately, do not appear to have been improved by any overnight reassessment.
In these zones the previous requirement that tourism development should occur in conjunc-tion with either agricultural use or rural indus-try has been removed.
This invites the question: how will farming compete against myriad other uses and, more insidiously, is farming just a transient use waiting for a better offer?
The two of us wrote about our concerns a year ago (“Planning changes will be ‘disas-trous’,” The News, 18/9/12, also published in The Age), which included threats to our na-tional parks and recreation reserves. We were rubbished by the planning minister.
But at least it forced Mr Guy to respond. In an article (‘‘Vocal minority peddling pork-ies on planning zone changes’’, The Age, 27/9/12), he suggested he was following in the footsteps of former Liberal premier Dick Hamer and planning minister Alan Hunt, ar-
chitects of our green wedges. Do not worry, he said, the government is acting in your best interests.
Matthew Guy is a shrewd politician. He rec-ognises that the way to ensure he achieves his objectives is to fi rst say that Armageddon is the only way. The pressure to accommodate the huge population increase requires him to totally overhaul planning, whatever the con-sequences. Also, he warned that our tourism is not suffi ciently developed to be competitive.
Then he pulls back from his apocalyptic planning scenario, and wants to leave us say-ing that the changes he has instituted in the green wedges are not as bad as they might have been.
But meanwhile, the reformed rural con-servation and farming zones are apparently ‘‘open for business’’.
Given the minister has recently said it is ‘‘very important to protect our best quality farmland’’, this is a period of very mixed mes-sages.
Changes to Victoria’s planning strategy will impact on our lives forever and, as now being forced on us, are likely to be to the detriment of all but a selected few.
Civil libertarian James Bovard once said: ‘‘Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.’’ In this case it appears the wolves have decided that, this time, swallow-ing the green wedges might cause a little too much indigestion – but that other rural areas are fair game.

By Mike HastA DOMESTIC animal lobby group is encouraging Mornington Peninsula resi dents to lobby the shire council to end the “unnecessary euthanasia of pets that go through the Mornington pound”.
The move comes after Mornington Peninsula Shire released its Domes-tic Animal Management Plan in July (“Taking control of pets”, The News, 30/7/13).
Pound Reform Alliance Australia has posted a letter on the internet and is asking residents to sign it and send to the shire to “highlight the commu-nity’s expectations; it will be harder for council to ignore its residents and ratepayers”.
When releasing its animal plan in July, the shire said it was considering neutering all pets to avoid community concern about the number of stray dogs and cats being put down.
Pound Reform Alliance president Tarsha Andrews said the alliance had “worked with other councils with suc-cess in turning around the high eutha-nasia of pound animals”.
The alliance claimed that 15 per cent of unclaimed dogs and 25 per cent of cats in the shire were euthanased.
“While on the surface these fi gures are better than many other municipali-ties, the statistics are misleading as eu-thanasia fi gures appear not to include the fate of post-eight day unclaimed animals transferred from Mornington to the RSPCA or Australian Animal Protection Society.
“In other words, many of the shel-ter’s animals transferred to these fa-
Shire queried on pet euthanasiaShire queried on pet euthanasia
cilities appear to be included in [shire] statistics as ‘rehomed’ or ‘adopted’ when in fact many would have been euthanased.
“The fi nal and true euthanasia fi g-ures would be higher than claimed.”
The alliance said “community vol-unteer engagement is now minimal, foster carers are no longer welcome and adoptions are no longer permitted at the community animal shelter”.
“One of the primary aims of a pound
or animal shelter is to enable and en-courage adoptions of unclaimed pets within the community directly from its facility.
“However, the council is instead us-ing rescue groups as the ‘conduit’ by which adoptions can only occur.
“The burden, both fi nancial and practical, currently falls on rescue groups.”
The alliance claimed the shire’s fi g-ure of 40 per cent of its unwanted pets as being unsuitable for rehoming was low.
“It is generally accepted that about 90 per cent of all impounded pets can be rehomed.
“Boroondara and Stonnington re-home well over 90 per cent of all their unclaimed cats and dogs and have been doing so for close to three de-cades.”
The alliance said the shire claiming that nearly all cats being euthanased had been either badly injured, diseased or were unowned or feral was not “an acceptable reason to kill it”.
“Many other pounds are working with the community to provide medi-cal and/or behavioural rehabilitation for cats such as these.
“Why isn’t the shire making an ef-fort with treatable pets?”
The alliance has called on the shire to reintroduce adoptions of cats and dogs from the shelter and promote them on PetRescue.com.au
The alliance letter is at: www.scribd.com/doc/162430362/Mornington-Peninsula-Shire-resident-letter
The shire has been asked for com-ment.
Hazard grantsHazard grantsTHE state government is offering grants of up to $110,000 to help regional and rural communities to tackle hazards such as bushfi res, fl oods and storm surges.
The Resilient Community program replaces the Fire Ready Communities Grants program.
Mornington MP David Morris said the Mornington Peninsula was “particularly vulnerable to fi re hazards with vast areas of bushland across our whole region”.
“Communities on the peninsula face unique challenges and a ‘one-size-fi ts-all’ approach is not always appropriate – in fact, some communities can face multiple hazards,” he said.
“It is local people who know what it takes to make their communities safer, better informed and more prepared to tackle the impact of these hazards.”
He said Mornington Peninsula Shire, community groups and business associations could apply for the grants.
Mr Morris said the Fire Ready Communities parent program had funded numerous innovative local community projects over the past two years, programs which would continue to be funded under the Resilient Community program.
“For example, the shire received $26,785 for a variable fi re information message trailer,” Mr Morris said.
Grant applications can be sent to the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation.

MORE than 1000 adults, children, dogs and a horse adorned with a “No Tip” banner squelched up a sodden slope at Arthurs Seat on Sunday 25 August to protest plans to turn the nearby former Pioneer quarry into a rubbish dump.
The devil himself attended the huge anti-tip ral-ly, carrying a hellish, hastily scrawled cardboard sign up the boggy hill.
Stewards herded the human torrent to form the words “NO TIP”, which was photographed from above by a light plane and a Channel 7 helicopter.
Amid wild waving and shouting, holding star-tled babies and the ubiquitous “No Tip” signs over their heads, the crowd watched amazed as the helicopter pilot manoeuvred for a fi nal low-level sweep over them.
The crowd had been warmed up by a group of speakers including splendid oratory from Mary Karamitsios of Peninsula Preservation Group as well as a sausage sizzle as the weather fl uctuated
through phases of overcast, sun and drizzle back to overcast.
The sun broke through for the aerial photogra-phers, possibly indicating that Ms Karamitsios has a winning way with the residents of Mount Olympus through her family lineage, particularly the sun god Helios in his fi ery chariot, and Khaos, goddess in charge of the unstable space between heaven and earth.
It was a great community occasion. Strangers smiled and chatted, dogs didn’t fi ght and the horse behaved itself impeccably as 1000 people made their way gingerly down the wet hillside.
Parents in the chattering crowd looked on toler-antly, possibly helplessly, as children skidded and shrieked as they fell into the growing quagmire.
Every living creature on the hillside was hav-ing a splendid time – a community out in force to make a difference.

Why no rail lines?Why no rail lines?I AM writing to express concern about the lack of rail on the western side of the Mornington Peninsula.
When will Mornington get a metro rail service? The town had a station and a line but it was closed and is now just a tourist railway.
There is nothing south of Frankston to service the almost continuous su-burbia all the way to Portsea but no rail service. The eastern side is well served by a train between Frankston and Stony Point.
The state government has poured money into freeways but has not ex-tended the rail service. We should not have to drive to Frankston to catch a train.
I have written to state and federal members for the Mornington area but no reply yet.
I see the federal Coalition will spend a lot on other things in Dunkley if they are elected but nothing about extend-ing the metro rail service. Labor has done nothing about it and the state government does not seem to care.
On another matter, I would like to know when we will be allowed to have a democratic vote on daylight saving.
State governments, especially in Victoria and NSW, are dictating to the people the daylight saving program and not bothering to ask the general public their views on the matter.
It has been decades since a referen-dum was run on this and surely it must be time for another one?
Attitudes and circumstances change over time but the state government does not seem to want to know about it.
We want a fair democratic govern-ment, not a dictatorship ignoring the people.

WHAT’S NEW
WEREVR 4x4 Accessories is a business recently opened in Carrum Downs.
The name may seem strange for a business, but it has a good story behind it.
Owner Paul Floyd’s parents travelled around Australia in an old school bus that they had converted to a mobile home, which they called “Wherever”.
“Wherever the old bus was going to take them was where they were going,” Mr Floyd said. “They were great memories for my parents.”
Mr Floyd’s mother lost her battle with lung cancer
a couple of years ago and in her memory, his Toyota Landcruiser was named Werevr. No need to criticise the spelling as the name was modifi ed to allow for the six letters on vehicle registration plates.
So now when people ask “Where ya goin?”, the reply is always “Werevr”.
When you call into the showroom you’ll be greeted by the friendly staff, Paul, Janie and Ian, not forgetting the welcoming wagging tails of Zoe and Matilda, the golden lab and border collie.
Werevr 4x4 Accessories is serious when it comes to 4WD, RV and camping. Enthusiasts themselves in the fi eld, they offer the range and advice needed for outdoor adventures.
Call into the new showroom, say hello to the team and check out the wide variety of 4WD, camping and RV accessories. The showroom is at 5 Brett Drive, Carrum Downs, phone 9708 2226.

Luxury living that’s all yours
Address: 20 Hector Close, BITTERNPrice: $480,000 – $510,000Agency: Ben Tallon Real Estate, 1/34 High Street, Hastings, 5979 8003Agent: Wendy Tallon, 0419 135 836
THE sophisticated design of this near-new brick-veneer home is hard to beat. Set on a 798-square metre block in a new sub-division full of quality homes, this versatile home has a clever fl oor plan incorporating three living zones that allow new owners to adjust the living space to their requirements, rather than yield to convention. Living areas at the front and back of the home are a great example of this freedom to choose. A room at the front of the home would be great for a formal lounge or rumpus room and the same options apply to a second area that leads out to an undercover entertaining area at the rear of the home. The main open-plan living area features an elegant galley-style kitchen, complete with stone benchtops. Stainless-steel appliances include a wall oven and dishwasher. There is also a walk-in pantry. An adjoining dining and casual living zone overlooks low-maintenance gardens that have been landscaped with yucca plants. A nice contrast to the gleaming white interior are the black plantation shutters that have been used in the second lounge at the rear of the home and along the hallway that leads to a handy study area outside the bedrooms. Three bedrooms have built-in robes, while the larger main bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite. Outside is a superb undercover entertaining deck – with a built-in six-person spa – that overlooks a neat bark garden and play area. A great feature of the property is an expansive sealed area at the front of the home that provides off-street parking for a number of vehicles, in addition to the double garage. Presented in perfect condition in a wonderful new estate to match, any family wanting to upgrade and plan for future growth should act quickly here.

By Haydn GodonyJUST beyond the eastern end of Bungower Rd in Somerville, Yaringa Marina Restaurant is a favourite waterfront eatery for boaties. It is also likely to be a culinary treat for anyone harbour-ing gourmet desires.
Now three years into proprietorship, manager Ravish Tomar and head chef Vikram Dhankar have made the best of the location and their business partnership to build a loyal following. The restaurant this year scored Dimmi awards for best views and top-rated seafood.
“We have tuned the menu, our matched wine list and our ‘special’ nights to suit the venue and the region,” Ravish said.
“We regularly offer something new but es-sentially we are modern Australian styled with char-grilled steaks and seafood.”
“People love the quality of our food, the consistency and the beautiful view too,” he said. “We also occasionally get seals visiting our doorstep.”
Coffi n Bay oysters are house-shucked and served natural or tempura, the crisp batter is laced with Schezwan spices, melding Chinese fl avours with Japanese method. “The batter is very light and leaves the freshness of the oysters still intact after they are briefl y deep-fried in cottonseed oil,” Ravish said. A bed of rock-salt, a sprig of mesclun and a slice of lemon com-plete the plate.
The seared scallops can be ordered ‘roe on’ if desired and are briefl y panned prior to crown-ing fl uffy garlic potato mash, then fi nished with orange hued caviar and seaweed salad. “Our diners go crazy over them,” said Ravish.
The most popular steak is the 300 gram, Portland-sourced eye fi llet. The yearling beef is grain-fed for 90 days and served on creamy mash, dashed with rosemary. A side bowl offers choice broccoli, caulifl ower and carrot, pan tossed with garlic and seasoning. Sauces include mushroom, red wine, garlic and peppercorn.
A pre-lunch or pre-dinner drink can be en-joyed taking in the views from the balcony.
Yaringa Marina Restaurant is at 1 Lumeah Rd, Somerville. Details: 5977 3735 or yaringares-taurant.com.au

By Stuart McCulloughIT arrived without warning. Flushed with excitement, I immediately opened the email, eager to read its contents. Little did I realize that I was opening not so much an email as an absolute Pandora’s worm. It began with a simple if not traditional greet-ing of ‘hello Stuart’ before taking me to task for a sizeable violation of the English language. Had I accidently reverted to my native Esperanto without realizing? Relied too heavily on facial expressions? Apparently not. My crime was far greater than any of these. I had, it seems, used the word ‘gotten’ in an article.
The email was as simple as it was devastating. It said that ‘gotten’ appears in neither the Oxford nor Webster dictionaries. It then informed me that ‘gotten’ is an American term, the past participle of the term ‘get’. It was at this point that I noted the almost complete absence of anything in the email resembling grammar. Under those heightened circum-stances, it seemed a touch harsh of my correspondent to want to castigate me for using the word ‘gotten’ whilst simultaneously forsaking anything resembling a proper sentence. I contemplated correcting the errors and returning the email, but averred for fear it might seem confrontational. Clearly, my correspondent was on a mission. I would need to apologise, forthwith.
I could start by telling him that I don’t know what possessed me. I’d say ‘I don’t know what had gotten
into me’ but that might prompt a further email. The missive concluded with the entreaty, ‘We are Australians not Yanks so forget the word Got-ten… Aussie language only please.’ Once heard, it’s diffi cult to forget a word like ‘gotten’, but I’ll do my best. So in response to that heartfelt appeal to avoid culturally inappropri-ate terms and stick to the Australian vernacular, allow me to declare that
I will absolutely, categorically, fo’ shizzle, do my upmost from this mo-ment on.
That said, I must admit to being curious as to the claim that the term ‘gotten’ is notable for its absence from both the Oxford and Webster Dictionaries. I am mindful, too, that the Webster dictionary is, in fact, quintessentially American, hav-ing fi rst been published either by
Emmanuel Lewis during the 1984 production break of the sitcom ‘Webster’ or by Noah Webster in the early nineteenth Century. Either way, the Webster dictionary is absolutely, 100% American. Not that Noah Webster didn’t have his own critics to contend with.
In 1806, Webster published ‘A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language’. It’s a great pity that all dictionaries do not have a title as plainly superb as Webster’s fi rst effort. But instead of universal acclaim, he was severely criticized by some. Whether this was for includ-ing or omitting the term ‘gotten’ is no longer known. I doubt, however, it was by email. He upped the ante a few decades later with a two-volume version that was denounced as radical and saw some openly question the sanity of the author. All the same, his suggested spellings for words such as ‘center’ and ‘color’ have continued to this day, even if his proposals for ‘wimmen’ and ‘groop’ never got off the ground. Perhaps it’s just as well.
As for the Oxford dictionary, with the possible exception of HP Sauce and The Beatles, it’s hard to think of anything more English. I do, how-ever, have an Oxford dictionary and after receiving the email, immediately set about seeing if the rumours were true. Bless its gotten socks, the term ‘gotten’ does, in fact, appear in the Oxford dictionary, albeit it fl eetingly. Under the term ‘gotten’ it simply reads, ‘see GET’. Presumably the ‘LOST’ is silent. Flipping back a few pages I discover under ‘get’ that it is,
indeed, an American variant. But what of it? I don’t mean to
quibble, but despite what my cor-respondent may think, ‘Aussie’ is not actually a language. Not that it’s a bad idea. In fact, were it up to me I’d like to see English abolished as our pri-mary language in favour of something that’s entirely homegrown. Forget be-coming a Republic – the true path to independence comes by having your own language. If those folks at Star Trek can invent ‘Klingon’, surely it’s not beyond us? Imagine it. Just as Es-kimos are said to have more than fi fty words for ‘snow’, ‘Aussie’ could take the same approach to ‘beer’. Finally, someone would be able to accurately translate the lyrics of ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi’. The possibilities are endless…
It’s always nice to receive cor-respondence, but I’m not sure quite how to take a demand to only use ‘Aussie’. Part of me is tempted to placate the various sheilas, blokes and drongos who feel so strongly about it, whilst the rest of me is quite comfort-able stealing language from where I please. Frankly, I never meant to generate this level of confl ict. I sim-ply can’t believe the mess that I’ve gotten getted gettended myself into. It seems I have little choice – the time has fi nally come to abandon English altogether and to go ‘full time’ with Esperanto. Or Klingon. Or maybe I shouldn’t worry so much and just relax. It is, after all, much ado about nothing. Or, as they say in Klingon, paghmo’ tIn mIS.

Nothing better to do with their time: Noah Webster, founder of the Webster Dictionary, after receiving a letter from a reader who took exception at the inclusion of the word ‘gotten’ in his fi rst edition.

By Gary Turner
WHILE the federal election and foot-ball have been imprisoning the head-lines Doctor Den and his planning cohorts talk of “nature-based” tourism development in our national parks call-ing for potential developers to come forward. 99 year leases (read forever) will certainly lure those “potential” developers out of the woodwork, if in-deed it hasn’t already been discussed at length in the darkened backrooms of the power clique, including my mates at the Institute of Public Affairs. Do they have senior ASIO executives as IPA members? “Boys and boys come out to play, happy and well the lax-ette way”. If it wasn’t so serious it would be funny. Never forgetting Mr Smoothie (Matty Guy) and his backfl ip on the re-zoning of farmland to resi-dential; 24-hectare property at Ventnor overlooking Western Port Bay and se-cret millions in compensation. Social commentator Hugh Mackay would say “forgive generously”. Like fun.
***AS a Collingwood supporter I’m obliged to hate Essendon but really I think it’s tragic they have been de-prived of playing in this year’s fi nal se-ries which they thoroughly earned by fi nishing in the top eight. No problem with Hird’s punishment, loss of draft picks and a fi ne but surely those 2012 jabs should not be connected with the team’s 2013 performance, not to men-
tion the loss to all those loyal Essen-don supporters, who I may well hate but know full well are no different to Collingwood supporters?
***THE Herald Sun’s hypocritical edi-torial reads “the truth must come out”. It rarely does but it has a nice sound to it; likely half truths, misin-formation and gossip borne of bias. ASADA are public servants; surely enough said? An intriguing side ef-fect has been the case for the defence coming from Herald Sun chief foot-ball writer Mark Robinson (Essen-don) and the opposite and forceful point of view from Caroline Wilson from The Age. I would have preferred James Hird cop the blame early with a statement of reasons defending his innocence, do his time and everyone revert to an “as is” situation. I think of the story of the elephant and drag-on confl ict. The dragon got under the elephant’s belly and sucked his blood so long till the elephant fell down al-most dead upon the dragon and killed him; both were ruined. If you have received a wrong, wisely consider it, and compose yourself with the pa-tience to bear it. Honesty is suffi cient reward. Yeah yeah.
***LASTLY, the AFL, as always, is aligned with profi t. The draw is a joke, likewise stretching out game
times for television, making the game quicker (rule changes) again for television, the laughable cam-era jobs on disputed goals and the ridiculous talk about cutting down the number of players on and off the bench despite the fact none of us care how many times they come on and off. Mark Robinson says (when he takes the odd break from his raves against Andrew Demetriou) “Sup-porters like to see their stars on the fi eld”. How would he know? Again - where’s Mike Sheahan when we need him? The AFL employs 500 people. What do they do? Enough!
***ANOTHER election bites the dust al-lowing us to move on to the mighty Magpies who sadly won’t last long. [I’m guessing; I write this column before the event]. It will be nice to have a break prior to waking in hor-ror at the broken promises (what promises?), all eventually to be for-gotten in three years’ time. We’ve survived before and we shall again. Pauly Keating and little Johnny Howard are but memories. Spending on health (including aged care), edu-cation and infrastructure will be tem-porarily paused, if not cut, in pursuit of a phantom surplus but the good news is there will be no change to the unfair tax breaks for high earners and negative gearing shall remain, so for-
get about buying a house unless it’s an investment property. Get yourself a tax haven or better still whack your profi ts into your super. Trust Tony? Haha. Very funny. Some of my best friends (wage earners, pensioners, fi xed income) vote Liberal. I don’t blame them. I know nothing about woodwork either. Culture is what we need, the serenity after the football fi nals. Note for Cliffy: Cancel Foxtel Footy after Collingwood’s demise.
***LIVING alone requires continuous effort; shopping, cooking, washing and cleaning. I awake, eat my vita brits and read the newspaper fol-lowed by my brisk healthy 100-metre morning walk to the cafe for coffee and read the free Herald Sun front to back in 90 seconds. “And what’s on today, Cliff?” Good question. Where is a good woman when you need one; or better still a bad one? Sadly such things are performance based. A need for inspiration as in fi lling the gaps with at least a sense of enthusiasm. Crooked, sometimes corrupt politi-cians state and federal don’t help. We look to sport and we get Essen-don and our cricket team? Get rid of Michael Clarke; good batsman bad captain. Remember that comic strip, Sad Sack? Sorry, I strayed; culture.
***“I CAN’T paint or act or write or
dance, I’m not artistic”. Think again. We all have imagination, we simply don’t apply it. We all act every day; we all have dreams; our unique expe-riences. Try writing; your life, point of view; whatever suits you. Half a dozen painting classes can open the door to yourself, your imagination. A good teacher may unlock the key via inspiration. Those who can and those who can’t means some have found a way to express themselves, through the written, the visual or the oral medium. In making the effort to open the door, as in applying your-self, the results can be staggering or simply satisfying or simply exercis-ing your brain, and all for your own benefi t, perhaps even pleasure? Stay clear of woodwork.

HISTORY
By Lance HodginsTHERE were no Queen’s Counsels, no TV cameras waiting outside the coach’s house, no allegations of il-legal drugs being administered, and no front page announcement in the daily press.
It took the Mornington Peninsula Football League only a couple of hours to announce that the captain of the Hastings Football Club would be suspended “until further notice”.
Furthermore, the Club would lose match points gained over the preced-ing weeks, and be banned from com-peting for the rest of 1940, including the fi nals series.
The previous year, in 1939, the “Hastings-Tyabb” combination had reached the fi nals only to be trundled out by a strong Mornington team in the fi rst semi. Hopes were high for 1940 as several players were reach-ing their peak, especially the Wilson boys.
Percy Wilson was to be the play-ing captain-coach in 1940. He was coming in as the Club best and fairest and their “most consistent” player from only a seven game season. His brother Bert had been runner-up in the League best and fairest.
Seven teams competed in A Grade in 1940: Frankston, Naval Depot, Mornington, Seaford-Carrum, Somerville-Baxter, Sorrento and Hastings-Tyabb.
Hastings had a bye on the fi rst Saturday of the 1940 season but then, in its fi rst game, it succumbed to Seaford-Carrum by a point to give that team its fi rst win in several years. The Wilsons were the best players for Hastings, along with Clarke, Slo-combe, Mirabella and Langholtz.
From then on, it was all downhill for the Blues. The defeats continued and the Club ran short of players to the point where it had to drop its B Grade team after two weeks. One bright point was the rare appearance of a father and son combination - the veteran “Digger” Langholtz and his son, young “Digger”. Both played several games for the Blues in 1940.
A win against Sorrento was their only victory and they languished on the bottom of the ladder for several weeks.
And then came the bombshell from the League. At a meeting of del-egates, Hastings were disqualifi ed for the rest of the season and ladder was reshuffl ed for the 1940 premiership. Frankston were awarded a match they had lost to Hastings by 2 points, and Seaford and the Navy were each awarded the premiership points for the fi nal two matches they would have played against Hastings.
What had led to the League’s un-precedented action in disqualifying an entire Club?
Two prominent Hastings players, one of them Percy Wilson, had been reported by the central umpire in the Hastings v Navy game on June 15. Their case came before the tribunal on two occasions but each time it was adjourned as the central umpire was unable to attend. At the third meeting of the tribunal, the cases were heard and both players were disqualifi ed, Wilson for a massive 9 weeks.
In the meantime, Hastings kept fi elding the two reported players on the basis that neither one had, as yet, been suspended. Furthermore they ar-gued that the MPFL rules stated that a reported player must come before the tribunal within 14 days of the alleged
offence, and that that time had passed. The MPFL delegates saw differ-
ently. They ruled that the players had actually started their appearance be-fore the tribunal within the specifi ed time limit (although no decision had been reached), and therefore Hastings were in violation of the rules by play-ing them. The season for Hastings was offi cially over.
Many observers felt that this was particularly unfortunate as Hastings had recently hit form to beat the reigning premiers, Frankston, and that they might have repeated this per-formance at Sorrento and the Naval Base. The league president, Mr Jack Gloury, described the disqualifi cation as “a matter for regret in such an old and respected club as Hastings”.
The Frankston game had been a particularly spiteful one. A long run of physical clashes came to a head in the last quarter when two players began exchanging blows. A general melee broke out as players and spec-tators rushed to join in. Play was held up for fi ve minutes before order was fi nally restored.
When the dust had settled, it turned out that the Hastings player reported was none other than Percy Wilson, the captain who was already “in limbo” awaiting sentence on the pre-vious charge. Alderson of Frankston was reported for retaliating.
Alderson received two weeks, but Wilson had a whopping 18 weeks added to his existing nine weeks sus-pension. When Wilson made certain disparaging remarks about one of the delegates (likely the Frankston one) he was asked to apologise, which he
declined to do.Percy was then told that he would
be disqualifi ed “during the pleasure of the League” which meant that his 27 week suspension would stay in force until the league would allow him to play again.
The Hastings Football Club was “dissatisfi ed” with the attitude of the League and members were not inclined to fi eld a team when 1941 rolled around.
A spokesman for the Hastings Club said that the club was disgusted at the treatment meted out to them last season. This, he said, was the culmination of several unsatisfactory incidents and Hastings would make no effort to fi eld a team until the League adopted a different attitude towards his club.
Given that the Second World War was gathering pace, the MPFL doubted whether there would even be a football competition in 1941. Nev-ertheless, they decided on a “social” competition to “keep the lads fi t and give the public a necessary diversion from the worry of war.”
By May a more conciliatory at-titude prevailed and the league lifted the club suspension and Hastings agreed to fi eld a team. But there was no Percy Wilson playing that year. He used the time to court his bride, Betsy Mentiplay, and they married in September.
At its annual meeting in April 1942, the MPFL lifted the ban on Percy Wilson. At the same meeting, however, it decided to shut down its football operations until the war was over.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 September 1913.THE concert given by the Frankston Choral Society in the Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening proved most successful. In spite of the fact that the weather was anything but propitious, there was a very fair at-tendance, and everything passed off without a hitch.
The orchestra, recently organised in connection with the Society, was heard for the fi rst time in two selections, and considering the very limited time the members had had for practice, they acquitted themselves very creditably, and their playing was very favorably commented upon.
The concerted items by the Choral Society, under Mr Walter Jennings, were greatly appreciated, and on all sides could be heard complimentary remarks on the fi nished way in which every item was rendered.
Their conductor, Mr Jennings, is sparing neither time nor pains in tutoring the members, and the improvement shown by them must be very gratifying to him as well as to all Frankston residents. Miss Amy Davey, a pupil of Mr Jennings, pleased with her rendering of “The Moorish Maid,” and for her second item, “ Beloved Sleep,” she received a well-deserved encore.
She, with Mr Jennings, also ren-dered two duets, and in both cases encores were demanded. Though suffering from the effects of a severe cold, Mr Jennings was heard to ad-vantage in his two items, and in each instance encores were demanded. Perhaps the most vociferous applause was that which greeted Miss Gregory
at the conclusion of her song, “If I built a world for you.” This young lady was in splendid voice, and an encore was enthusiastically de-manded. “Old Mother Hubbard,” by the Choral Society, was a catchy item which greatly pleased the audience, and the members had to repeat their performance as an encore.
The president of the society, Dr Maxwell, acted as chairman. The fol-lowing programme was gone through:- Overture, orchestra; Part song, “Hail, Smiling Morn,” Choral Society; Song, “ For you alone,” Mr Jennings (en-cored); Song, “The Moorish Maid,” Miss Amy Davey; Part song, “Stars of Summer Night” Choral Society; duet, “In Spring-time,” Mr Jennings and Miss Davey (encored); chorus, “Softly fall the shades of Evening,” Choral Society; selection “Rose Blushes,” orchestra; song, “Love is waiting,” Mr Jennings (encored); song, “ Beloved Sleep,” Miss Davey (encored); song, “If I built a world for you,” Miss Gregory (encored); part song, “Old Mother Hubbard,” Choral Society (en-cored); duet, “Venetian Song,” Miss Davey and Mr Jennings (encored); Part song, “Good-night Beloved,” Choral Society.
***DURING the ensuing fortnight par-ties of men and lads for farm work are arriving from Great Britian, con-sisting principally of about 200 Brit-ish Lads and 60 Farm Laborers and their Families. All these Lads, Men, and Families, are coming out to this country purposely to take up farm work, and the Government is desirous of having them placed on farms with the least possible delay.
Generally speaking, the lads have
not much knowledge of farm work, but past experience has proved that they are very willing and ready to adapt themselves to the requirement of their new conditions.
The services of these lads are avail-able at rates ranging from 10s per week and keep upwards according to age and experience, and it is hoped that farmers requiring their services will lose no time in notifying the Bureau of their requirements.
Others amongst those coming for-ward are farm laborers, experienced and inexperienced, who should be easily placed at wages of 15s to 25s per week.
Married couples will also be ar-riving, who are desirous of at once proceeding to country employment.
Numerous letters have been received from employers of previous new arrivals, expressing satisfaction with their services, and there is no doubt that the introduction of these new people will assist in building up and maintaining an effective supply of farm labor for the whole of the State.
A good class of employee will ar-rive by the next three boats, and will offer a good opportunity to farmers who desire to secure labor for the approaching dairying and harvesting seasons.
***MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. held their usual monthly sale in the Munic-ipal Yards on Monday last, when there was a full yarding of cattle of all de-scriptions. There was a good demand and satisfactory prices for all classes:- Fat cows to £8; milkers to £6 12s 6d; springer to £6; springing heifers to £6 2s 6d; backward cows to £5; fat sheep
to 23s 6d; fat lambs to 14s 1d; a line of weaners at 13s 8d. Pigs in great de-mand at high prices, as follows:- Ba-coners to 67s; medium to 50s; porkers to 44s; clips to 24s; suckers 15s; extra 19s 6d, the latter price being obtained for a line under six weeks old, sold on account Mr G. Walker, of Green Island.
***DR Griffi th announces in another column that he may be consulted at Bittern, at his residence, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
***BY advertisement in this issue Mr Des Wells notifi es that he is prepared to visit all parts of the Peninsula to sweep chimneys, &c.
***MESSRS Brody and Mason will conduct their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next.
***NURSE Crawford, who for sev-eral years was proprietress of “St. Pancras” private hospital, has taken “Osborne House,” where she intends establishing a Nursing and Convales-cent Home.
***THE Lord Chief Justice, speaking at a public meeting at Hammer-smith Town Hall, said the excessive expenditure on drink in the United Kingdom was appalling. From his 40 years’ legal experience he could say that 90 per cent of the crime commit-ted in this country could be traced to overindulgence in drink.
***A EUCHRE party and dance was held on Thursday, 21st, in aid of the new hall and it was a great success, 84 players from all parts fi ghting a
battle for the valuable prize, which was donated by Mr G. S. Edwards. The ladies’ fi rst prize, a gold cable bangle, was won by Miss M. Hazl-edine; second, a gold pendant, by Miss McKeown, and Miss Hill the booby, a silver bracelet. Mr Lookin won the gents’ prize, a £1 1s safety razor; Mr McNamara second, and Mr Counsel the booby.
***MR Morgan, of Sorrento, has started a saddlery and boot making business here in Mr Evans’ shop opposite the pier, and the public hope that Mr Morgan will succeed, as it is a long time since there was a good saddler and boot repairer here.
***A GOLF tournament was played on the Dromana links or Thursday, 28th ult., for a trophy donated by the president, Dr Weld. Unfortunately, it rained in the forenoon, which made the course very sloppy. The ladies’ trophy was. won by Miss Singleton, handicap 18, 52; Miss McKeown, handicap 18, 54; 2nd; Mrs Weld, handicap 10, 65, and Miss Talbot, scratch, 65, 3rd. The gents’ prize was won by Master T. Singleton, handicap 30, 87; Mr Christie, handicap 18, 91, 2nd; W. Evans, scratch, 92, 3rd.
The club now has about 40 mem-bers, and it is the intention of the committee to have a big tournament about New Year, as under the new secretary they are leaving no stone unturned in having the greens and course in capital order. They have already made big improvements. The leading players are anxious to hear a “crack” at some of the Penin-sula clubs, and the secretary will be pleased to accept a challenge.

Sorrento grabs victory Sorrento grabs victory from the jaws of defeatfrom the jaws of defeatNEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellySORRENTO staged a wonderful fi ght back in the dying minutes of the Nepean League Preliminary fi nal on Saturday to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat against Rosebud.
In a see-sawing battle all afternoon, Sorrento kicked three goals in fi ve minutes to turn a 16 point defi cit into an unlikely two point win.
In last week’s second semi fi nal against Dromana, the Sharks domi-nated for 95 per cent of the game, only to get overrun in the fi nal 15 minutes. Sorrento didn’t deserve to lose.
On Saturday, the Sharks didn’t deserve to win.
However, what the result produced was the Grand Final this Saturday at Frankston Park that everyone wanted to see – Dromana v Sorrento.
Rosebud was unlucky to lose, big time.
At the 26-minute mark of the last quarter, the Buds were up by almost three goals.
The Buds came into the match with a game plan and executed it to perfec-tion, except for the dying minutes of the match.
No-one gave them any hope of win-ning the game and many were simply hoping for a good contest.
There wasn’t a person at the ground who expected Rosebud to boot fi ve of the fi rst six goals in the fi nal quarter and open-up a 16 point break.
Greg Bentley, who had a quiet fi rst half, was at his best in the last, Mat-thew Payne was simply dominating and Paul Lewis and Tom Baker were having an infl uence in the ruck and around the ground.
The Buds were running on top of
the ground, they had the massive crowd right behind them and a big upset looked likely.
However, you can never write-off a brilliant team.
Tyrren Head, who was unsighted for the majority of the match, bobbed-up to kick two of the last three goals of the game and Leigh Poholke sharked a pack to put his side back in front with a minute left.
Rosebud took the ball inside their attacking 50 in the last 30 seconds but Sorrento pushed plenty of numbers back and restricted a score.
There was no question that Sorrento midfi elder Leigh Treeby was the difference between Sorrento winning and losing.
While Scott Cameron was outstanding in the ruck, it was the efforts of Treeby, both inside and outside, who single-handedly won the Sharks the game.
His work rate was unbelievably good, his defensive pressure was outstanding and he went forward and kicked two goals, both game breakers up against the boundary line.
Treeby’s infl uence on the contest, especially when the game looked to be lost, was a stand-out.
Rosebud was superb. Matty Payne, Ryan Spooner, Sam Kremich and Tom Baker were outstanding. In fact, Rosebud hardly had a bad player.
But as Buds coach Nick Jewell said after the match, “it doesn’t matter if you win on the ground, you have to win on the scoreboard”.
Sorrento coach Nick Claringbold obviously was relieved after the match.
“Put it this way, it took a while for me to calm down,” Claringbold said.
‘Last week I thought we didn’t de-serve to lose and this week I thought
Rosebud was the better team all day.“We lacked energy and intensity
throughout but we did have, and always have, is a belief that we can win.
“We could have easily let it slip away in the last quarter but we kept pushing. It was good.
“Our boys were sore after the Dromana game and they’re even more sore after this match.
“It will be a light week on the track and we’ll have the boys refreshed for the grand fi nal.”
Dion Phillips is a sure thing to come back into the Sorrento side.
“Dion was 80 per cent fi t and could have played on Saturday, however, we wanted to ensure that every player was fi t for Rosebud.
“This week we hope to stick to our structures and play a better brand of footy,” Claringbold said.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyBONBEACH moved directly into the Peninsula League Grand Final on Saturday after holding off Frankston YCW in the second semi fi nal.
The Stonecats will now will play Edithvale-Aspendale in this week-end’s Preliminary Final after the Ea-gles belted Mt Eliza in the First Semi at Pines on Sunday.
Bonbeach led for the large majority of the afternoon to beat YCW 13.11–89 to 11.12–78.
Frankston YCW led only once in the match, when it held a four-point lead late in the second quarter, before Bonbeach’s Shaun Foster kicked one on the siren to regain the lead at the major interval.
As expected, Frankston YCW kept coming at the Sharks all afternoon but on this occasion, Bonbeach was able to respond.
On its two previous occasions this season, Bonbeach has been in the con-test, only to be blown away in 15 min-utes of footy against YCW.
However, on Saturday at Frankston’s Kars St Oval, the Sharks were able to steady and respond.
Bonbeach coach Steve Capp said it was great for his side to get into the Grand Final.
“At this stage, what we’ve been able to do is earn the right to play in a grand fi nal,” Capp said.
“What we need to ensure is that we bring the same intensity, pressure and work rate to the table in two weeks time in the Grand Final.
“I thought our concentration over four quarters was really good on Sat-urday and it was the real reason we won the game.
“We’ve had lapses (in concentra-tion) in the past and it’s cost us. We didn’t get that on Saturday”.
Capp said it was great for his group to have the confi dence to beat YCW.
“We hadn’t beaten Mt Eliza or YCW in the past couple of years and it was just great for the boys to go into a grand fi nal knowing that we have beaten both of them in our past two games,” Capp said.
“So, regardless of results, we go into a grand fi nal knowing our best is good enough to win.”
Bonbeach started Matty Batten where he fi nished last week’s game as a forward. Other than that, everything else went as expected.
Bonbeach kicked to the Kars St end with the aid of a slight breeze in the opening quarter and squandered some early opportunities (2.6 to 1.2).
“I hoped that some easy misses in the fi rst quarter weren’t going to come back and bite us,” Capp said.
Those misses didn’t have an effect on the result, the Sharks proving too strong.
Foster fi nished the afternoon with four goals for the winners while Scott McDonald fi nished with three. Nathan Robinson and Mark Tyrell, along with Gary Carpenter, were outstanding over four quarters.
Anthony Barry led the way for the Stonecats, while Ricky Morris and David Bodley fi nished with three goals each.
In the Sunday game, Edithvale-Aspendale controlled proceedings all afternoon to knock over Mt Eliza at Eric Bell Reserve.
The Redlegs went into the match without Scott Lockwood and Tim Strickland, both injured, while Dave Willet was dropped from the senior side.
Without Lockwood, things were ex-pected to be tough and they proved to be.
The Redlegs’ skill level in windy conditions was atrocious, while Edith-
vale managed the conditions a whole lot better.
The Eagles led by 24 points at quar-ter time after kicking with the fi ve goal breeze in the fi rst. At half time the margin was still 22 points and at three quarter time, the Eagles opened-up a 49-point break.
The fi nal score was 10.14–74 to 5.7–37.
Matt Kremmer kicked three for the Eagles and proved that if he attacks the footy, uses his size and skill to his advantage, that he can have a real in-fl uence.
Tim Mannix and Troy Ogier were instrumental in the win for the Eagles and Zac Muschialli had a tagging role on Mt Eliza’s Josh Norman and ex-ecuted it to perfection.
For the Redlegs, Karl Lombardozzi, who came into the side, was superb, as was Rohan Heasley and Rob Dyring in attack.
