KINGSTON Council’s contentious bid to rezone land in the Green Wedge for potential residential development remains on the table after councillors voted to push ahead with seeking expert advice on the matter. The News revealed last month that planning minister Matthew Guy wrote to council advising he would consider any formally made rezoning request “based on its merits” (‘Guy open to wedge review’, The News, 18/6/14). Mr Guy’s letter prompted prodevelopment councillors to ask for consultants to be brought in to provide advice on drafting an official planning scheme amendment. Councillors Tamara Barth, David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West opposed the move at Monday evening’s council meeting, while Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Geoff Gledhill, John Ronke and Paul Peulich voted in favour of the proposal. Cr Peulich used his mayoral casting vote to push ahead with the plan. Cr Ron Brownlees was absent from the meeting. The amendment, if approved by the minister, would see green wedge land between Kingston and Heatherton Rds and Lower Dandenong Rd rezoned to a Rural Living Zone with minimum lot sizes of 2000

square metres. Council will also ask the minister whether 53 hectares of green wedge land within the boundary of Braeside Park, Southern Golf Club, Springvale and Governor Rds to “an appropriate residential zone” by moving the Urban Growth Boundary to include the land. Council officers will now seek expert advice via an expression of interest tender process. Acting environmental sustainability general manager Jonathan Guttmann said a report should be available for councillors to consider in six to seven months’ time. Consultancy firm Planisphere was hired by Kingston Council in 2012 to draw up Kingston’s Green Wedge Plan at a cost of about $300,000. Planisphere recommended the land now being considered for rezoning should remain within the Green Wedge. Defenders of the South East Green Wedge secretary Barry Ross condemned Kingston Council’s latest decision to spend more money on consultancy fees. Mr Ross said pro-development councillors were putting forward a “diabolical proposal for carving up the rest of the Green Wedge.” “Council is spending more money and time to try and justify the unjustifiable.” Continued page 7

Streets ahead: Senior Sergeant John Cormack heads the Moorabbin highway patrol unit, which is successfully reducing incidents of road trauma. Picture: Yanni

New direction in road policing A FOCUS on high visibility policing and the targeting or recidivist road offenders has helped significantly reduce deaths and serious injuries on Kingston roads. Senior Sergeant John Cormack was appointed mid last year to head the Moorabbin highway patrol unit, with a brief to refocus road policing efforts to drive down incidents of road trauma. Since the change to highway patrol’s “business model” in 2013, which aimed to “align our enforcement activity with areas of highest road trauma”, Senior Sergeant Cormack a dramatic decrease in collisions, especially those involving fatalities and serious injury, had been achieved. “We are very determined to drive road trauma downwards by ensuring

speed, distraction, fatigue and people who continue to tail gate,” Senior Sergeant Cormack said. “Our collision data shows that tailgating is the most prevalent causal factor of collisions in this area and we urge every driver to leave sufficient room when driving.” He said serious collisions not only had financial implications for families of victims and the wider community but also caused grief and trauma that many people never fully recover from. “Emergency Services workers attend these collisions every day and when you hear the stories around some of the senseless actions of drivers you understand why it must be an ongoing commitment.” Chris Brennan

that police are visible, productive and act as a deterrent to drivers who continue to flout the rules of the road,” he said. “The public may have noticed an increased police presence in areas of high road trauma such as the Nepean Highway over the past 12 months. “All police across the division which encompasses the cities of Kingston, Bayside and Glen Eira, have a role to play in road safety and our aim is to ensure people get to their destination safe and well and without being placed at risk.” He said the result was a 20 per cent reduction in serious injury collisions and a 16.7 per cent reduction in fatalities over the past 12 months. “As we move into the next financial year we will continue to focus on the causal factors of collision such as

Water warriors pool resources

Flight MH17 condolences THOSE wishing to pay their respects for the lives lost in the Malaysia Airlines MH17 disaster can send messages of condolence to families and friends of the victims. Condolence books are available at all City of Kingston Customer Service Centres including Cheltenham, Mentone and Chelsea. Kingston residents can also send messages of condolence to council. All messages will be forwarded to the Premier’s office to share with grieving families. Kingston Mayor Paul Peulich said he, like many Australians, was “shocked” by the tragedy. “This random act of violence against 298 innocent people including young children has left many people searching for answers. My message to those families affected is that we are thinking of you – you are in our hearts. These books of condolence will mean residents of Kingston will let those families know we are thinking them.”

A TEAM of water wise pupils at Aspendale’s St Louis de Montfort’s School is finalising its ‘Drains to the Bay’ workshop for this week’s Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids Conference. The students’ presentation, educating others about the importance of protecting groundwater, will be made to 450 ‘Water Warriors’ – fellow students from across Melbourne and Victoria – at the two–day conference at Etihad Stadium, starting on Thursday 31 July. Teacher Julie Wynne said St Louis De Montfort’s team of eight water warriors will show conference attendees how the school’s location between the Edithvale Wetlands and the bay, and its close connection to the water has influenced its newly-built sustainable school gardens and kitchen. “Kids Teaching Kids is a great way for our school’s leadership group to present ideas to people outside the school,” Ms Wynne said. Founder of Kid Teaching Kids Arron Wood said the conference’s value was in all the work the participants put in and the learning outcomes they achieved. “The Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids conference helps young people learn about and care for their local creeks, waterways and bays, by using our world-class water wisely, keeping our sewers clean and protecting our waterways, among others,” Mr Wood said. Melbourne Water acting managing director Paul Pretto said the effort and enthusiasm of the young Water Warriors is impressive. “As our next generation of environmental champions, these students have worked through real-world problems to come up with creative and innovative presentations,” Dr Pretto said.

Carbon tax demise delivers rates bonus Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FUTURE generations of Kingston ratepayers may not be so impressed, but for now, the Abbott government’s decision to axe the carbon tax has saved existing ratepayers money. Kingston Council formally adopted its 2014-15 budget at Monday evening’s council meeting, passing on a “bonus” to ratepayers in the form of a reduction in the proposed 4.25 per cent rate rise flagged in the draft budget. Ratepayers will now pay 4.06 per cent more in rates for 2014-15 after council decided to “pass on savings delivered by the federal government’s

repeal of carbon pricing legislation”, according to a statement released the day after the council meeting. Cr Geoff Gledhill hinted council officers had been seeking a higher rate rise than even the 4.25 per cent included in the draft budget, but praised officers for listening to councillors’ views about any increase. “They took onboard comments from councillors… without sacrificing capital improvements and the service delivery we provide across the community,” he said. He praised this year’s budget as “balanced”. The mayor of Kingston, Cr Paul Peulich, said there would also be a reduc-

tion in waste services fees, expected to be about $4. The municipal charge remains fixed at $100 and pensioners will continue to receive a $80 rates rebate on top of the state government’s $208 rebate. “When council released the draft budget for comment, I said that council was responding to the community’s expectation that we continue to deliver solid value for money to ratepayers. Passing on these reductions demonstrates that commitment.” Cr Peulich noted Kingston’s rate increases have been trending downwards in recent years. Rates rose 6.04 per cent in 2011-12, 6.35 per cent in 2012-13 and 4.45 per

cent in 2013-14. “Following the repeal of the carbon pricing legislation, I’m pleased to say the rate increase for 2014-15 will be even lower than originally anticipated,” Cr Peulich said. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said she had read “every word” of this year’s budget. The draft budget document is more than 140 pages long. Cr Bearsley joked others should do the same. “It’s a good read,” she said. Kingston Council has $44.5 million worth of capital works earmarked for 2014-15, including $4 million for roads works and $1.5 million to fix footpaths.

VEC probes online campaign Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au POLITICAL campaigning in marginal bayside seats is starting to heat up ahead of November’s state election with train services on the Frankston line again on track to be a major bone of contention between both major political parties. A slick Liberal Party website that vows to tell “the truth about how the Frankston line is being improved” is the latest weapon in the political battle between both major parties in the marginal bayside ‘sandbelt’ seats. Domain name registration records show the name www.frankstonline. com.au was registered by ‘the Liberal Party of Australia Victorian Division’ last month before the website went live online. The News can reveal the Victorian Electoral Commission is investigating the use of local Labor candidate names as Google AdWords key words to direct voters to the frankstonline.com. au site. Typing the name of Labor’s candidate for Carrum ‘Sonya Kilkenny’ into Google’s search engine serves up a prominent Google ad which states: “Sonya Kilkenny – Labor – Get the facts on public transport” alongside a link to the Liberal Party’s website. Google searches for Labor candidate for Mordialloc, Tim Richardson, also direct readers to the Libs’ website. Labor’s new candidate for Frankston, firefighter Paul Edbrooke, anointed last Thursday to replace pre-

Searching questions: A Google ad campaign (above) suggests Labor candidates endorse a Liberal Party campaign website spruiking recent improvements to Frankston Line services (below).

vious candidate Helen Constas, has not had his name used as a Google AdWords term to advertise the frankstonline.com.au website yet. The ‘Frankston Line Facts’ site claims “real progress” is being made on improving train services on the Frankston line “after Labor’s neglect” while in government. Global search giant Google offers advertisers, including political par-

ties, a “cost-per-click” service to book online advertising based on specific keywords chosen by the advertiser. Google recommends advertisers target ads by using “specific phrases”. The Liberal Party is not listed on the frankstonline.com.au website but the site is compliant with VEC guidelines on political advertising. The site is “authorised by Damien Mantach, 104 Exhibition Street, Mel-

bourne”. Mr Mantach is the state director of the Liberal Party’s Victorian division and the Exhibition St address listed on the ‘Frankston Line Facts’ website is the address of the party’s Melbourne headquarters. VEC communication, education and research manager Sue Lang declined to confirm whether the Google AdWords keywords using Labor candidates’ names breached electoral ad-

vertising guidelines. “All I’m prepared to say is that we are conducting enquiries,” she said. Whoever selected the Google AdWords ‘Tim Richardson’ and ‘Sonya Kilkenny’ to direct online traffic to the Liberal Party owned frankstonline.com.au site may be exploiting a failure of VEC electoral campaigning guidelines to effectively police online advertising. Political print and TV ads must identify who has authorised the message. A Victorian parliamentary inquiry is finalising a report on “the impact of social media on Victorian elections and Victoria’s electoral administration”. The inquiry’s terms of reference included a look at “whether online electoral advertising, such as Google Adwords, is appropriately regulated in Victoria.” The VEC has previously said it has no power to force Google to disclose the name of advertisers who book Google AdWords campaigns. A Labor opposition spokesperson said: “Questions need to be answered by the Liberal Party - if they are responsible for this deceptive ad campaign then it is nothing more than a sign of desperation by the Napthine Government who have delivered very little for residents on the Frankston Line.” The Liberal Party’s Victorian campaign manager Andrew Cox did not respond to several requests for comment over several days.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au STUDENTS at Patterson River Secondary College enjoyed the sights and sounds of an Anzac Day â&#x20AC;&#x153;community roadshowâ&#x20AC;? on Tuesday. It was all part of the Anzac Centenary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journey of Remembrance which included a visit by Premier Denis Napthine, Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Affairs Minister Damian Drum and Carrum MP Donna Bauer. Actors dressed as soldiers brought the flavor of the era into the classroom. The roadshow is an important part of the state governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commemorations to mark 100 years since the start of World War I. It will travel to communities across the state throughout the year. The event includes a video presentation, live theatre performance, guest speakers and a centenary commemorative information pack which includes information about the Great War and replicas of the Peace Medal issued to school children to mark its end in 1919. College principal Maree Vinocuroff said the students enjoyed watching videos of war scenes of the time and sketches of young soldiers bidding farewell to loved ones. The focus was on the young ages of the soldiers 100 years ago. Many were only 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same age as many of the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students were attentive,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They thought it was a great presentation.â&#x20AC;? The Premier said every soldier, nurse and civilian who devoted themselves to the war effort helped shape Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character of resilience, strength and mateship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is the time to share their stories,â&#x20AC;? he said. Carrum MP Donna Bauer is encouraging â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone to take part in the roadshows which are a great way for the whole community to come together and honour the sacrifice of the Anzacs.â&#x20AC;?

‘Please like our post’ AUSTRALIA Post has agreed to a look at opening a post office in Aspendale Gardens if postal services offered at the News & Lotto newsagency proves popular. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford has been lobbying Australia Post to have a post office in the suburb. Australia Post representatives met Ms Wreford and Aspendale Gardens Residents Association members and said they give the News & Lotto outlet a licence to sell stamps and pre-paid envelopes to gauge interest in the viability of a post office. Customer take-up will be assessed over 12 months to determine whether there is enough interest in a permanent post office. Australia Post is also considering supplying a 24hour parcel locker service at Aspendale Gardens. “This will save people inconvenient trips to

collect parcels and will be a very big win,” Ms Wreford said. “Whilst that is progressing, the campaign now starts for a parcel pick-up service… that is a different division of Australia Post.” Australia Post retail services regional manager Roger Revere said they “had listened to our customers”. “We’ll be establishing a post point in Aspendale Gardens to provide residents with greater access and convenience to postal purchasers,” Mr Revere said. “We will also be assessing the feasibility of installing new digital parcel lockers, which will enable customers to collect their parcels at a time that suits them, and will continue to monitor the needs of the Aspendale Gardens community going forward.”

‘Diabolitical’ green wedge plan slammed Continued from page 1 Cr Rosemary West suspected councillors who wanted to hire another consultant were engaged in “a delaying tactic” since there would now be no planning minister decision on the green wedge rezoning until after November’s state election. Cr West said delays would mean Kingston landowners in the Green Wedge who have been campaigning for the rezoning would not have to be told it was not possible now. She doubted Mr Guy would approve the planning scheme amendment. “Perhaps a new planning minister will allow them to get away with it,” Cr West said. However, she noted Labor opposition planning spokesman Brian Tee said he “supported” the Green Wedge and would not approve “highly unorthodox measures”. Kingston Council was wasting time and money, according to Cr West since the existing Green Wedge Plan supported the use of green wedge land for agricultural and farming purposes. She noted Mr Guy had rejected a similar request to rezone green wedge land at Stotts Lane in Frankston last week put to his planning department by Frankston Council (see ‘Guy: no go for homes on wedge’, pg 19). “Instead of making an honest request like Frankston Council, Kingston is now proposing to spend more money on top of the $300,000 paid on top of the Kingston Green Wedge Plan for a consultant to undertake a further strategic plan which will undermine all the green wedges, as well as this one,” Cr West said.  Councillors finally agreed to try to protect land north of Heatherton Rd from concrete crushers and waste-related businesses after they unanimously

voted to ask planning minister Matthew Guy to rezone the Special Use Zone land to Green Wedge A Zone. Waste-related activities are prohibited in Green Wedge A zones. North Ward councillor Steve Staikos had pushed for council to effectively ban waste operations from the area on several occasions last year but found his notices of motions regularly voted down by five fellow councillors: Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, Geoff Gledhill, John Ronke and Paul Peulich. The move to stop further waste activities in the area will come as a relief to residents of Dingley, Clayton South, Clarinda and Heatherton who often complain about noise and smells from existing landfills. Kingston Council has never supported materials recyclings businesses in the Green Wedge, but this has not stopped companies from trying to open new facilities there. In December last year, council rejected a Delta Group application for a concrete crusher in Heatherton. Planning Minister Matthew Guy was forced to intervene and provide an 18-month interim materials recycling policy to protect Kingston’s Green Wedge from inappropriate developments, including concrete crushers. Council now has ten months to exhibit a planning scheme amendment and ask the minister to permanently protect the Green Wedge from waste-related operations. Mr Ross hailed the council move as “a really important breakthrough after two years of stalling” and hoped it would end Metropolitan Waste Management Group’s proposal that the area become a waste hub

New wetland friends LEARNING about their environment, and how they can make both positive and negative impacts on varrious ecosystems is proving an interesting topic for pupils at Chelsea Heights Primary School. As part of their sustainability studies, Year 3 and 4 pupils visited the Edithvale-Seaford Wetland Education Centre to record their observations of the area and discuss what they saw, heard and smelt.

Teacher Paul Duncan said the pupils were fascinated by the array of local and migratory birds and enjoyed using binoculars to get a closer look. But they were surprised at the amount of rubbish they saw and later discussed how it affects the wetlands’ plants and animals. “They gained a great deal from this hands-on excursion and now understand the importance of the wetlands and being more sustainable,” Mr Duncan said.

NEWS DESK ART lovers can support their community by acquiring a piece of art at the annual Kingston Charitable Fund HeART Art Show which will be held from Saturday 9 August through to Tuesday 12 August, 10am-5pm each day at the Woodlands Golf Club, White St, Mordialloc. About 260 works will be displayed at the HeART of Kingston Art Show and all sales proceeds will go to the Kingston Charitable Fund. Kingston Mayor Paul Peulich said HeART of Kingston had become an important fixture on Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant arts scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show is gaining in popularity with 150 entries last year and around 260 this year. Manning a show of this scale requires the support of the community including local businesses. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank Aspendale Rotary Club, Lowe Construction, Parkdale Secondary College and Woodlands Golf Club for their ongoing support of the fund. Their support is vital in helping the Kingston Charitable Fund achieve its fundraising targets.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since its launch in 2007, the fund has given back more than $300,000 to more than 40 Kingston charities,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cr Peulich urged eligible groups to apply when then 2014 round of Kingston Charitable Fund grants applications opens on 11 August. The Charitable Fund is also supported by a Gala Dinner held on Friday 3 October. Tickets are $130 and fund co-ordinators are currently seeking auction donations.

Star student steps up Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au ANYONE who has seen the movie Black Swan will appreciate the dedication required to make the grade in ballet. Long, arduous training regimes, spartan diets, and an intense focus on achievement are the foundations of success. One keen Patterson River Secondary student is aiming high and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; judging by recent successes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is well on her way to a fulfilling career. Year 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emily Bray â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who began dancing at age four â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was runner up in the Sydney Eisteddfod over the school holidays as one of 92 young dancers competing for a prestigious Robert and Elizabeth Albert Junior Classical Ballet Scholarship. And, she also got 98 per cent for her Royal Academy of Dance ballet exam. The RAD is one of the largest and most influential dance education and training organisations in the world. More than 1000 students are in fullor part-time training programs each year, and its exam syllabus is taught to more than a quarter of a million students worldwide. Emily, 15, studies dance at the Jane Moore Academy of Ballet in Highett where her mum, Sharon, works in administration. She is the youngest of three girls and lives in Carrum Downs. Mrs Bray said Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication to training at the elite level was a key to her success. She trains all day Monday, a half day Tuesday, full day Wednesday and a half-day Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; around 25 hours each week. After this comes normal study. She praised the Patterson River

staff for their encouragement and cooperation in allowing Emily time for the strict training regimen, which has opened the way to scholarships and competition success. Without their help, such a high level of coaching would not be possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great that she has been able to combine her training with her schooling. She loves dancing and performing in front of people; she is very committed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she gives up a lot,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Bray said. Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities certainly stand her out from the crowd. In the Sydney Eisteddfod the field was cut to 25 for a master class and then down to eight finalists who each did two solos. Emily came second - after making the final eight last year. Prizes are $500 for finalists, $1500 to the runner up and $6000 to the winner. Her sights are now set on established competitions in Adelaide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where a $10,000 prize is on offer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as other high profile events in New Zealand and America. Money won goes towards further training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Emily likes the idea of travelling and seeing the world, but there also needs to be a plan,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Bray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has to get out there and be seen, and get her foot in the door â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and still keep up with her school work.â&#x20AC;? Future acceptance into the Australian Ballet or Royal Ballet in London would be crowning achievements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long road; a tough road but she has the dedication to do it.â&#x20AC;? Star turn: Patterson River Secondary student Emily Brayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballet skills earned her second place at the Sydney Eisteddford.

Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times. Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012. To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new pay offer to paramedics.

This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes: • a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics (pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is twice as much as the previous offer • an immediate 6% wage increase • an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further 3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total. Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their work value claim. Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be retained, so that they continue to receive: • 10 weeks paid leave annually • 10 weeks paid parental leave • 6 months long service leave after 15 years service • tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year. Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme, including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service. These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic can receive a total package of more than $110,000 a year (including rolled-in-rate, built-in overtime, FBT exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition, paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment. The Victorian Government is continuing to invest in ambulance services, with funding provided for an additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers. This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms and conditions they enjoy today and recognises the importance of the job they do protecting and saving lives.

Mordi lifesavers ride wave of success LIFESAVERS from Mordialloc dominated the 11th annual Life Saving Victoria awards of excellence event on Saturday 26 July, at LSV headquarters, Lifeguards@200 in Port Melbourne. Dramatic rescues, thousands of patrol hours, champion athletes and outstanding achievements were recognised at this “night of nights”, held annually to celebrate and recognise the many achievements and contributions of life saving’s 30,000 volunteer members, staff and the greater aquatic industry. Mordialloc’s Madeline Gibson was named junior female athlete of the year with her highlight being a gold medal at the 2014 Australian pool lifesaving championships in the U17 female manikin-carry-with-fins event. She followed this up by winning nine gold medals at the Victorian pool titles and gaining selection in the 2014 Victorian interstate team. A strong athlete on the beach, Mordialloc’s Emily Carty was named female athlete of the year for excellence at club, state and national levels. She won two gold, two silver and a bronze medal at the Victorian lifesaving championships before going on to win silver at the Australian surf lifesaving championships in the U19 female beach sprint. The masters male athlete of the year award went to Mordialloc’s James Evans who has dominated the 2013/2014 masters season in both pool and surf competitions. At the 2013 SLSA Australia pool lifesaving championships he won three gold and two silver medals before winning

Winners: Mordialloc Life Saving Club’s James Evans, Emily Carty and Madeline Gibson won major gongs at the annual Life Saving Victoria awards of excellence.

six gold and two silver medals at the 2013 Victorian pool lifesaving championships. At the 2014 masters championships in Lorne he finished with three gold, one silver and two bronze medals. To complement Mordialloc’s dominance in the aquatic sport awards, it was crowned the 2014 Victorian championship point score winner for its March win in the Victorian lifesaving

championships at Ocean Grove with a final point score of 478. Mordialloc beat Surf Coast rivals Anglesea, on 467 points, and Half Moon Bay on 360 points. Mordialloc LSC president Grant Rattenbury described winning the Victorian championships point score as “an amazing achievement for the club”. “Across all competition areas,

everyone worked together to achieve a fantastic result, which was proof of what good training and structure can achieve,” he said. Around 30 awards were presented to recognise significant contributions, achievements and performances in lifesaving and water safety throughout the 2013/2014 season. Life Saving Victoria president Tom Mollenkopf said the evening

was a fantastic celebration of the achievements of both lifesaving volunteers and the wider aquatic industry. “Congratulations to all of our exceptional award nominees on their achievements that have prompted their peers to recognise them at this level,” he said.

Frankston, the place to see theatre anywhere ANYWHERE theatre is just that: theatre performed anywhere, except theatres. Frankston residents will have the best seats in the house from 22 August – 6 September as the curtains rise on the city’s first Anywhere Theatre Festival. The 80 performances of 20 productions include plays in cafes, circuses in game parks and operas in galleries. The festival has been running for four years elsewhere in Australia and was listed in 2012 as one of the “nine international festivals you must see” listed on the Qantas website, Travel Insider. “What rocks about Anywhere Theatre Festival is that it will appeal to anyone who has wanted to see a show but wants something a bit different

to a traditional theatre experience,” Paul Osuch, cofounder of Anywhere Theatre Festival, said during a launch last Tuesday at Rocodillo’s Café, Frankston. “It also appeals to anyone who wants to explore the nooks and crannies of Frankston and wants an excuse to do so.” Performance locations range from McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery in Langwarrin to the skate park in Frankston and Seaford station. “The festival is also innovative in that performances happen at business locations: from Eeny Meeny cafe and Sofia’s restaurant to Bayside Rock, Chisolm,” Mr Osuch said. Anywhere Theatre Festival Frankston is hosted by Frankston Council with Frankston Arts Centre,

The Edge, EastLink and Mornington Peninsula Tourism. Originating in Brisbane, the festival has rocketed from 25 to 400 productions in three years. “One of the keys is that we bring businesses, performers, audiences and council together,” Mr Osuch said. “Performers get rent-free spaces, businesses get new customers, audiences get to see great theatre and council gets to see sites activated and communities invigorated.”

Postcodes may be key to drug sites Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au Protected again: Part of the 42 hectares of green wedge land at Stotts Lane in Frankston South which will not be allowed to be subdivided for residential development.

Guy: no go for homes on wedge PLANNING minister Matthew Guy has knocked back a proposal to subdivide land at Stotts Lane, Frankston South which would have carved up the green wedge land for residential development. In August last year, Frankston councillors voted to ask the minister to consider Schutz Pty Ltd’s plan to subdivide 42 hectares at Stotts Lane. An attempt to rezone the land on the eastern side of Stotts Lane for about 180 new houses was made more than 13 years ago, and was followed by similar failed attempts in 2004 and 2011. The land is zoned Rural Conservation Zone and is covered by a Significant Landscape Overlay. It is classed as part of the Mornington Peninsula Green Wedge despite falling under Frankston Council’s jurisdiction. Opponents of the subdivision proposal said any development would have extended the Melbourne metropolitan area to the southern reaches of Baxter, erasing the rural gap between Baxter and Frankston. Politicians across party lines opposed the development. Defenders of the South East Green Wedge

secretary Barry Ross thanked federal Liberal MPs Greg Hunt and Bruce Billson and State independent MP Geoff Shaw, Liberal MP David Morris and Labor MP Johan Scheffer for their support in opposing the Stotts Lane rezoning. He praised Mr Guy’s decision to reject the application. “We applaud the minister’s decision which should act as a deterrent to the many land speculators who have clearly been waiting on the outcome of this application before pressing their own claims,” Mr Ross said. Frankston mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, said council respected the planning minister’s decision. “Council received a letter on 16 July from the Minister for Planning refusing the application, and we respect the Minister’s decision and the amendment will not progress,” he said. Mr Guy’s letter stated: “The amendment would change the strategic direction for the area and is therefore inconsistent with State policy which seeks to protect the values of non-urban land, opportunities for productive agriculture and significant landscapes within Melbourne’s green wedges.” Neil Walker

THE postcodes of drug users visiting Frankston’s methadone outlets will be collected to help authorities identify the best locations for methadone outlets in other areas. The short-term tactic is aimed at diluting the cluster of six outlets near the station that dispense opioid replacement therapies - and reducing the need for addicts to congregate there. It is a key outcome of a meeting held last Thursday between the Minister for Community Services, Mary Wooldridge, and Frankston councillors, aimed at combating drug-related problems in Frankston city centre. Also attending was David Southwick, Parliamentary Secretary for Emergency Services and Minister Kim Wells, who toured the city after the meeting to see the action. The area around the station is regarded as a “mecca” for drug users whose presence is blamed for increased crime and anti-social behaviour. A “secondary market” of dealing in methadone to fuel drug habits has sprung up and some of the pharmacies’ clients travel from outside the area to hang around the station and Young St. Around 570 clients are registered for opioid replacement therapy in the city centre, up from 192 a decade ago. Over the past few months the councillors have repeatedly urged the minister to visit Frankston to see first-hand how the methadone program was degrading the city’s liveability and giving it a “junky image”. Some had even threatened to protest on the steps of parliament to force the state government to “do something” about crime here.

At the meeting they made it clear the current concentration of pharmacotherapy outlets and the needle exchange program were “directly impacting on our local traders, shoppers and visitors”. CCTV footage showing illegal drug activity illustrated their plight. This included footage showing drug addicts “shooting up” in full view of passersby and near the station and police station. Others scenes showed a mother injecting herself while her young child was present. At the meeting Minister Wooldridge committed to holding a forum of relevant ministers “to identify solutions to drug issues and pinpointing what data needs to be collected to fully understand the use of the methadone services”. Cr Glenn Aitken said the minister had queried the link between bad behaviour and methadone usage. “We maintain that it is a significant factor but she thinks it is not the whole issue,” he said. “Generally, though, we appear to be ‘on the same page’: she has agreed to ongoing, in-depth discussions with the council, and we will attempt to find out where the users are coming from, which may be from within Frankston, but also from Hastings, the Mornington Peninsula as a whole, and the outer areas of Dandenong.” Discussions at the meeting focused on ways of vetting users who would not be supplied with methadone without their lifestyles being scrutinised. “We can’t affect change unless the supply of drugs is accompanied by a strong intervention process,” Cr Aitken said. Cr Colin Hampton said the minister appeared “tuned in” to the city’s drugs problem but “seemed amazed we did not know the postcodes of users”. He hoped a list of postcodes could be drawn up from notes in the prescription process.

THE demonstration in tree and stump blasting with gelignite was very successfully carried out on Tuesday afternoon last the 28th inst. on Mr Gibson’s property at Hastings. Although the day was showery, about 35 spectators assembled to witness operations. In all eight stumps and one tree were

grubbed and without one exception, those present were unanimous in their praises of the effective work done. One particularly large stump was cleanly grubbed and shattered with a shilling’s worth of explosives, all the roots being run perfectly. The spectators considered that it would have been a cheap job for twice the cost. Small stumps up to 1 foot in diameter were blown out for 3d or 4d each. Two large stumps, each about 3ft. across, were blown up simultaneously with the electric shot firing method. The stumps were about 20 ft. apart and after connecting up the wires, which convect the electricity, all retired to a safe distance (about 50 yards). As soon as the current was passed along the wires, the charges under the two stumps explodes simultaneosely and both stumps were seen thrown into the air in a dozen pieces. The electric outfit used at the demonstration was the property of Mr Kroronse, of Tyabb, and is for sale or else available for hire by the week. Supplies of Noble’s Glasgow Gelignite, Fuse and Detonators may also be obtained from Mr Krcrousee who is the local representative. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions was held on Monday last. before Mr Williams JP. Francis Brown claimed £5 damages from John Garlepp for alleged unlawful assault on the 10th July on the Mornington Road. Mr Lawrence Rostron appeared for the complainant, and Mr Kirby for Garlepp.

Francis Brown, the complainant said that on the evening of that day he escorted Miss Walsh, whom he did not know, to her home. She was accompanied by two home boys, and she told him that she had been annoyed by two men and that she was frightened to go home by herself. She asked him to find a young man named Bolger, whom she knew, but he was unable to do so. He then said that he would go home with her, which he did. He saw her safely inside the gate, and returned to the road, when he was assailed from behind and pushed on to his face on the road. He got up, and encountered Garlepp in a fighting attitude, while another man, whom he could not recognise, was about ten yards away throwing clay at him. Garlepp attacked him, and as a result he was again knocked over, and had a piece of skin knocked off his face. He procured a billet of wood and his assailants decamped. Constable McCorniack said that on the night of the 10th July the complainant came to the police station, and laid a complaint against Garlepp. His coat was covered in mud, and the left side of his face was cut, and blood was running from it. The defendant was fined 10s, with 15s 6d costs, and 5s damages was awarded. Garlepp was also charged with an assault ou Brown on 11th July, in the billiard room of the Bay View Hotel, but in this case the bench decided to dismiss the case. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 August 1914.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Rage against the washing machine By Stuart McCullough Most appliances are harmless. A toaster would gladly be your best friend given the chance. In fact, if you were to unexpectedly become a hobo at short notice and set off on a cross continental journey carrying nothing but a swag and a water bottle, a toaster would happily trail behind and keep you company the entire way. Or it would, at least, if it had legs. A food processor can’t do enough for you. It’s practically falling over itself just to help out. Televisions are just like windows but better. Kettles hold the unique distinction of being the most yin and yang of all appliances in that they boil water and yet simultaneously soothe the soul. But there is one household white good that should not be trusted. When it comes to this particular piece of domestic hardware, never let it near the steak knives and avoid turning your back on it at all costs. It’s mean and angry and will never be your friend. I speak, of course, of the washing machine. It’s the Incredible Hulk of appliances. It sits there, all harmless and inert until forced to do its job at which point it becomes unspeakably angry. It starts slowly with little more than a gentle whir; like a merry go-round for your clothes. But before you know it, the whole contraption works itself up into a writhing, foot-stomping tizz that falls just short of a somersault as it goes flat-out berserk. It’s as though it’s throwing a spectacular tantrum that would surely earn it a spell in time out were it not for the fact that

it was already in the least attractive room in the house. It’s as though it’s trying to have its way and is eternally annoyed at the fact that it has to wash dirty clothes whilst other appliances get all the glamour jobs. At Tyabb, the washing machine was bigger than the first car I owned. It also had a greater top speed. Given that it had to deal with the dirty

clothes of seven people, it had a lot to be angry about. The laundry was (and still is) just near the dining room table and it was not unusual for us to be working our way through a plate of meat and three vege only to be interrupted by a sound that resembled Dorothy’s Tin Man stuck on ‘The Gravitron’ and trying to squash a mouse. When it got really worked up,

it made a shrieking sound reminiscent of the shower scene from Psycho. Plates would tremble and peas would leap from forks in search of safety as an avalanche of sound that gave the impression that hell’s own portal had just been prised open filled the house. To hear it, you’d think it was the apocalypse rather than just the spin cycle. More than just wail and scream, our machine made frequent attempts to escape. It never succeeded. It must be said that it’s not easy getting over the razor wire and past the guard dogs when you’re chock-full to the brim with school uniforms and PE gear. Not that our machine didn’t give it a pretty good try. It was a common occurrence to find that it had broken loose from its moorings and was pressed up against the door. Sadly, though it travelled the length of the laundry, it never went any further. It’s the curse of not having hands, I guess. The poor thing was probably hoping for the day one of us accidently left the door open and it could, once and for all, makes it break for freedom. Maybe that’s the problem. Perhaps washing machines don’t have severe anger management issues so much as they simply long to be free. It doesn’t seem too much to hope for. Besides, they’re always in the worst spot in the house. Sometimes, they don’t even get a room to themselves. I once lived in an apartment that had a so-called ‘European laundry’. As it turns out, ‘European laundry’ is an especially fancy way of saying ‘cupboard’. Or,

to those of you who’ve ever rented in the metropolitan area, a ‘studio apartment for an affordable budget’. For decades, humankind has contemplated what the world might be like if apes were to rise up and conquer human civilisation as we know it. It’s a question first posed by Pierre Boulle’s novel, ‘La Planete des Singes’, which was later turned into the movie ‘Flashdance’. But the same book was also the basis for the film starring Charlton Heston, ‘The Planet of the Apes’. To this day, it’s a theme that continues to fascinate people. But the real question is this: who’s to say that monkeys pose the biggest risk? Unless you’re Michael Jackson (and, let’s face it, who is?) primates don’t live inside your house. Apes don’t know you so well that they’re intimate with all your dirty laundry. Washing machines, on the other hand... If you think about it, the threat is clear – washing machines are preparing to attack. The day when both front and top loaders alike rise up against their human captors cannot be far away. That’s why we need to get in first. People get hysterical about free-range eggs, never realising they’re holding someone hostage. The time is now. I say we should set our washing machines free. To let them throw off the yoke of servitude so they can roam in packs over the open plains. It’s a delicate matter, but these machines have a cycle for ‘delicates’. Go, dear machine; go and be free. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Thick as a Brick was originally released in 1972, when it made No.1 on the ARIA Chart. Jethro Tull was the brainchild of Ian Anderson, who played flute and sang while standing on one leg. When they formed in 1967 they had the folk sound, some jazz and the blues. Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music gaining 11 gold and five platinum albums. Many Australian rock music critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off the cutting edge. Not one record store in the country would be without copies of ‘Thick as a Brick’ Jethro Tull was Ian Anderson (vocals, flute), Mick Abrahams (guitar), Glen Cornick (Bass) and Clive Bunker (Drums). The album still holds up more than 30 years later as does ‘Living in the Past’ and ‘A Passion Play’. Ian Anderson’s profile has rarely been higher following the very successful release of his new solo album Home Erraticus this year and Anderson will tour Australia and appear in Melbourne, December 15. Details www.jethrotull.com *** ENTRY is now open for the 36th Toyota Star Maker – Australia’s longest running search for a new country music star. Star Maker has been a crucial launching pad for some of Australia’s biggest country music stars including Keith Urban, Lee Kernagahn, James Blundell, Beccy Cole, Lyn Bowtell and Kylie Sackley. In 2015 competition will be as tough as ever following the outstanding commitment from recent winners Luke Austen, Luke Dickens, Bob Corbett and Kaylee Bell who have all grabbed the prize and haven’t stopped running. Barry Harley said “Star Maker is Australia’s most prestigious search for a country music star which boasts winners with international roots and appeal.

Keith Urban (1990), Craig Robertson (1989) and Kaylee Bell (2013) were born in New Zealand and this year’s winner Jared Porter was born and lived in the USA for the first 11 years of his life. At 14 years he relocated with his mother to Orange, NSW where he was educated” www.starmaker.com.au *** FOLK Alliance Australia invites all people interested in the Australian Folk Music scene to attend this year’s Folk Alliance National Conference in Melbourne

The album also includes brand new recordings of ‘Working Class Man’, which sees Jimmy reunited with the song’s writer, Journey’s Jonathan Cain, as well as ‘Ride the Night Away’, featuring the song’s co-writer Little Steven Van Zandt from the E Street Band. Produced by Kevin Shirley (Cold Chisel, Silverchair, Aerosmith), the 30/30 album not only celebrates the phenomenal career to date of one of Australia’s foremost musicians but also illustrates Jimmy’s continuing relevance within the contemporary Australian music scene, both as a recording and a touring artist. In celebration of his 30th Anniversary Jimmy Barnes will be embarking on a tour later this year, playing a select number of A Day on the Green wineries nationally, with full details to be announced soon. 30/30 Anniversary album (Liberation) is due out August 29. Jimmy will appear at Mt Duneed Estate, Geelong Saturday November 15th, Michelton Wines, Nagambie Saturday December 13 and Rochford Wines, Coldstream on Saturday December 20 with special guests including The Living End, Mahalia Barnes, Troy CassarDaley, Baby Animals, Ian Moss, Nick Barker and You Am l. 30/30 Anniversary album (Liberation) is out August 29th.

Before the Global Financial Crisis we were inundated with financial geniuses telling us how to make money: Superannuation, term deposits, property, shares. Crash! The culprits scurried underground, blamed others, allowing us the benefit of getting rid of them for a time. They’re back like mushrooms, and suddenly everyone’s an expert again. Perhaps a Club for financial advisers and football experts? Imagine, each evening, after another day of serving up tripe, continuing said tripe amongst themselves. *** I TOOK part in a survey of home owners; our thoughts on borrowing from banks whereby we don’t pay them back until we die. Ten of us; coffee, biscuits, $40. Eight of them had financial advisors worn as a badge of common sense? The world may well be “waiting for the sunrise” but in financial terms it’s a bridge too far (forever) for most of us. The financial system (Murray enquiry) and the quality of the financial advice is being undermined by conflicted remuneration structures. *** ARE we being brainwashed? I really don’t know, but I cannot help wondering as to the slant of news reports on the fighting (Israeli bombardment, Hamas tunnels) in Gaza. Channel 9 highlighted some 15 Israeli soldiers killed and

barely mentioned a total of 350 deaths. SBS later showed film of some 2000 injured on the Palestinian side. Our Foreign Minister speaks high and mighty, rightly, about the MH17 disaster, without mention of the Gaza tragedies. Sore thumb? *** NATHAN Buckley’s rat pack a far cry from the talented long serving pack he kicked out. “We didn’t see this coming” said Bucks. “It’s got nothing to do with personnel, it’s got a lot to do with how we execute and the way we play. There’s a focus on our forward line, and we could definitely score heavier, but it’s not about who, it’s about how we go about it and how we move the ball. We haven’t controlled field position as much because our defence hasn’t been as effective, and we’ve turned the ball over when we shouldn’t” Double dutch, or words of wisdom from master coach Nathan Buckley? Don’t wait to be told mate; you need palmolive gold, now. *** “ONCE upon a time in Punchbowl” and the Cronulla beach riots (SBS) witnessed many Australians putting their stupidity literally on show for the cameras, inspired to some extent by the likes of Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt and others. John Howard said “I do not accept that there is underlying racism in this country” surely tongue in cheek. The major-

ity of Australians are indeed rascist, as evidenced by both political parties policies on boat people. Again I ask “Who discovered the boat?” *** SAYS our man Greg Hunt “we were voted in with a clear mandate to repeal the carbon tax” or was it because the majority decided they’d had enough of the Labor party? What is it with this “mandate” word, used in a sense of self-righteousness for the boats and the carbon tax yet conveniently ignored for pension cuts, health, education and other shifties; in fact no mandates? One wonders what transpires at their meetings to think we would fall for this word as and when it suits them, until one reads the daily baa baa letters in that morning newspaper. Loved the carbon tax bit where they said it would be good for small business. Sadly most small business owners have been falling for this con all my life. Surely a sense of importance but missing the small print? National interest be blowed. Live and let live? *** LEAVE my mate Woody Allen alone. He married his step-daughter; big deal. What’s that got to do with whether or not you go see his films? If we apply this rule we would never see another film. If we were really honest with ourselves (highly unlikely) we would banish all mirrors from our home. Old sins cast

By Gary Turner

www.jimmybarnes.com *** OSCAR winning director Ron Howard will make a new documentary about the Beatles’ touring years, with the backing of their music label Apple. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are giving their full co-operation to the movie, as are John Lennon and George Harrison’s widows. The film will tell the band’s story from the Cavern Club through the Ed Sullivan show to Beatlemania. Howard won the Academy Award for Best Director for the film A Beautiful Mind. He also directed Cinderella Man and Rush. *** ROCK legends Pink Floyd are set to release a new album The Endless River in October, their first for 20 years. The news came from author, Polly Samson, who is married to the band’s David Gilmour, and has previously written lyrics for the band. Their album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ (1973) was a favourite album of mine. The album was a carefully constructed cycle of songs with deep meaning. The band embraced all that technology had to offer, especially synthesizers and saxophone. The band met as students all studying architecture in London in 1965. Pink Floyd came from Georgia bluesmen Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Syd Barrett formed the band with Roger Waters and Barrett determined the musical direction the band took but when he Barrett left the band in 1968, Roger took over the songwriting and the musical direction. Dark Side of the Moon became one of the highest selling rock albums of all time. In 1979 they released The Wall, a concept album which was made into a movie by Bob Geldof. www.pinkfloyd. com

A Grain of Salt SEIZE the day! That’s what he said. A departing inspirational comment? How about “Have a nice day” or “cheerio”? He bullocked off to seize his frivolous day. I was at the cafe, coffee, reading, MMOB. I drifted back; the late 50’s. The open fields of green surrounded by friends, acquaintances, sunflowers, daffodils and old people. Swings, slides, running and tennis balls, the Merri Creek, tadpoles, the tip. Mucking around. No fields now, big trees, apartments, surrounding me. Walking is difficult. Hard to seize the coffee cup let alone the bloody day. Maybe go backwards; is there an App to go backwards? The brain’s still working, just. See a doctor, antibiotics for the back; miracle drug guaranteed to bring on diarrhea. Bloody forest. Snakes everywhere; huntsman, politicians, crooks. Mates, Gary and Jack, Lawrie, Nancy, lovely Dianna, all to lah lah land. A day at a time, an hour, a bloody minute. Seizing be damned. Back to my newspaper. *** PRIME Minister Tony “I don’t believe any thinking Australian would want us to capitulate to moral blackmail” referring to self-harm among women on Christmas Island? Leaving aside the moral blackmail nonsense is he suggesting if you disagree you’re not a thinker? I wonder if Putin is a thinking Russian? ***

By Cliff Ellen long shadows. *** “THEY seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven or is he in hell? That demned elusive Pimpernel” Billy Boy Shorten? Or is he giving the Coalition enough rope? *** IF Joe Hockey is an “average Joe” (Good Weekend, The Age) I’m Rumpelstiltskin...So many birthdays in July? October, the month of the birds and bees?...The repeal of the carbon tax will save me $550 a year, and behold, I’m now Snowy on the trams...Downtown Rye-beautiful one day, Antarctica the next...Essendon thrashes Collingwood and a form of fascism marches on, in Canberra.....”I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion” [Alexander the Great]...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond. com

The Magpies are the real deal NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB POINT proved once and for all on Saturday that it is a genuine premiership contender after knocking over Dromana for the second time this season. The Magpies answered everything that the reigning premier threw at them on Saturday at Crib Point Reserve before hanging on to win another thriller, 17.6 (108) to 14.19 (103). The first time the sides met, Crib Point kicked the last goal of the game to win by one point. Now, looking at the scoreboard, it would appear that the Tigers squandered opportunities and probably deserved to win. However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. The Tigers did squander opportunities in front of goal, however they certainly didn’t deserve to win the game. Crib Point was clearly the better team over four quarters and followed instructions to the letter. Dromana didn’t seem to listen to a lot of what coach Doug Koop had told them and the result was their third straight loss. Every time the Tigers challenged the home team on Saturday, the Magpies were able to respond with a couple of goals of their own to regain the gap. Crib Point led at every change and Dromana didn’t hit the front once in the contest. The closest they got was within two points in the last quarter.

The Pies booted the first four goals of the game before the Tigers had entered their attacking 50. Crib Point went into the match without Glenn Boyd for the second week, which saw Luke Herrington and Jon Flack swapping between full forward and on the ball. Both finished with four goals and they were instrumental in the win. Brad Davidson also lit the place up, as he so often does, with a couple of clever goals. He too finished with four, while the domination of James Cook in the ruck was instrumental. Cook was wonderful at the centre bounces and around the ground. He beat three opponents in Baldwin, McGrath and Gaertner. McGrath went off the ground in the second quarter with what appeared to be a shoulder injury. He didn’t come back on. The undersized Crib Point defence was superb also. Dean Warry, Matt Sloper and Zac Dekluever all gave away height but they couldn’t be matched at ground level. The Magpies’ style was to bring the ball to ground, run, spread and ‘blowup’ the Dromana opposition. It was also a case of play-on at all costs. The Pies have backed their fitness all season and while Dromana appeared to be running them down in the last, it was Crib Point’s running game that saw them kick two goals to seal the game. Dromana lacked system going forward and while the coach was pulling his hair out on the sidelines

consistency of late. Grant Masterson and Mick Haddad were both in the reserves, as was Mick Agnello, who was dropped after announcing his retirement before the Rosebud match. Rosebud’s season is also finished after it went down to Sorrento by six goals. The Buds were held goalless in the first half, however, booted six goals to five in the second half to go down 6.6 (42) to 12.6 (78). Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan booted three each for the Sharks. Hallahan was the best player on the ground, while Dave Lawson and Tyrren Head were also at the top of their game. Tom Baker was his team’s best while Dan Hickey play a great game against his old side. A big wasted season for the Buds, while Sorrento now seems to be motoring towards finals. Rye is also starting to motor and sured-up a place in the finals with a 13.15 (93) to 6.9 (45) win against Devon Meadows. Panthers’ coach Brent Clinnick announced his resignation through the week, however, it wasn’t enough to spur his team to an unlikely win. The Demons kicked away early and stretched their lead at every change. Aaron Findlay was a handful with four goals while Ben Cain and Leigh Morse were also very good performers. For the second time this season, Adam Kirkwood tore his hamstring. They

because his forwards kept leading wide, it made little difference. There were four players that kept Dromana in the contest. Paul Minchington was clearly his team’s best player in the middle, Call Park was extremely good, Christian Ongarello gave great drive from half back and Terry Wheeler was dominant. There just wasn’t enough support from anyone else. Dromana will get back Michael Falconer and Ash Waterstone this week, while Andy Kiely is another two weeks away. Stuart Cleave (shoulder) is also a chance to play before finals, although it is considered doubtful. The Magpies should get back Boyd in the next couple of weeks and Aaron Murray would be a wonderful inclusion into this footy team. Hastings season is finished after being beaten by Frankston Bombers on Saturday. To say the Blues have been disappointing this season would be an understatement. On Saturday, Hastings was beaten by a team that was more committed, desperate and unified. At no stage were they really in the contest and the scoreboard of 10.10 (70) to 7.9 (51) reflected that. James Degenhardt was outstanding again for the Bombers while Corey Micari and Mitch Bosward were also in fine form. Taylor Stratton was again the Blues’ best, while Luke Hewitt and Steve Charalambous have found some

need to put him on ice now until finals. Teenager James Doria made it five goals in two senior matches with another two while Pat Boland and Brian Wapshott were outstanding. Pearcedale led Somerville all day on Saturday until it mattered most, the final siren. The Eagles booted 3.5 to one behind in the final quarter to win 13.12 (90) to 11.12 (78). Adrian Ridout was the difference between the sides with six goals for the Eagles, while Justin Farrelly was outstanding in the ruck. Pat Heijden was great for the Panthers with four goals and Pat Cadd and Chris Fortnam flew the flag for four quarters also. In the final game, despite resting six top liners, Red Hill managed an 18.20 (128) to 2.8 (20) win against Tyabb. The Yabbies were held goalless until the final quarter. The Hillmen went into the game without the likes of Dan McNamara, Michael Mock, Josh Mold, Jarryd Eames and Sean Holmes. It mattered little as the Hillmen had 18 scoring shots in the first half and 20 scoring shots in the second hour. Jarryd Douglas finished with seven for the winners while Jake Mold and Marcus Dal Lago were also fine contributors. Justin Volk was Tyabb’s best, while Tyson Sparkes continues to impress. Adrian Clay, Nick Taranto and the more experienced Ash Souter and Craig Conlan worked tirelessly also.

Eagles swoop late to beat Dogs PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Edithvale-Aspendale is four points clear of Bonbeach and Mornington in second place on the Peninsula League ladder after coming from behind to beat the Dogs on Saturday. The reigning premier now has 11 wins from 14 matches, while the Sharks and Dogs are a further game back. Frankston YCW maintained its position at the top of the Peninsula League ladder after beating Seaford. They are a game clear of Edithvale (12 wins and two losses). The fight for fifth place continues, although Mt Eliza now is a game clear of Langwarrin. The Redlegs will finish at least two games clear of the Kangas by season’s end with games against Karingal and Seaford to come in the final four rounds. Langwarrin has Seaford this week but finishes with Edithvale, Mornington and Frankston YCW. The big game on Saturday though was that between the Eagles and the Dogs at Regent Park. Edithvale got away to a flier and led by 23 points at quarter time and extended that to 24 points at the long interval. Mornington came out firing in the third quarter, booted 4.4 to four behinds and scores were locked

together at the final change. By the halfway mark of the last quarter, the Doggies had edged their way in front by seven points and looked the stronger of the two teams. However, the Eagles found an extra gear in the final 15 minutes of the match, kicked the next four goals and recorded an 11.14 (80) to 9.14 (68) victory. Teenage star Darcy Warke was superb for the Eagles with two goals and a dominant display, while Todd Woodbridge, who had spent a couple of weeks in the twos, stood up most when it counted in the last quarter. Adam Budge had also missed a few games and he kicked a very important goal in the last quarter to put the Eagles in front. Eagles’ coach Troy Shannon said it was another important victory. “You have to beat the best sides in the competition if you want to achieve what you want out of a season,” said Shannon. “We should have put them away in the first quarter but we just didn’t convert our opportunities. Instead of being four goals up, I thought we should have been six or seven in front. “I was pleased with our ability to be able to get going again when the game was on the line. “They (Mornington) had all the momentum and we were able to get

that back. Even more pleasing was it wasn’t the same old players that got us out of a hole. “It was guys who have struggled of late, got another opportunity and really grabbed it.” Shannon said Mornington was a “very good side”. “Mornington has a never-saydie attitude and that’s a really good trait to have as a footy side,” said Shannon. “I’d like to think that we are a bit the same and it was two teams having a real crack. “They have a great blend of bigs, smalls, experience and youth and they are going to be good for a while. “I think the bigger decks will suit them better too,” said Shannon. Dale Nolan booted four majors for the Doggies and was among his side’s best, while Chris Paxino and Jai Haddock were outstanding. Bonbeach bounced back from a horrible defeat last week to easily account for Langwarrin. The Sharks got away to a wobbly start and were outplayed by the Kangas in the first quarter, however, took advantage of their limited opportunities and went in at the first break ten points up. By half time, the game was over with the Sharks leading by 40 points. Langwarrin rallied in the second half; however, it wasn’t enough to

bridge the gap, going down 14.10 (94) to 8.9 (57). Corey McQueen booted three goals for the Sharks while the stars including Ricky Ferraro, Shane McDonald, Anthony Raso, Paul Rebeschini, Dylan Jones and Jackson Casey all dominated. Nick Tuddenham was again in the best for the Kangas in only his fourth game, while usual campaigners in Dan Wehner, Michael Parker and Jarryd Amalfi worked tirelessly. Once again, it has been proven that the Kangas are a long way off the top four sides of the competition. Mt Eliza replaced Langwarrin in the top five after smashing Chelsea to the tune of 63 points. The Redlegs took control of the match early and extended their lead at every change, winning 20.7 (127) to 9.10 (64). Scott Lockwood booted five goals while Benny Lean played his best game for some time with four majors. Bryce Hayes and Zallec White aren’t names we know a lot about but they too were dominant for the Redlegs on Saturday, as were seasoned campaigners Darren Booth and Rohan Heasley. Robbie Lancaster and Todd Gardiner were the best of the Gulls, as was Jason Clark, who rarely plays a bad game.

Pines took a while to shake off Karingal on Saturday but still managed to get the four points, winning 10.14 (74) to 4.16 (40). Guy and Beau Hendry booted five goals between them while Jamie Messina and Adam Ludewig dominated. Scores were locked at 4.8 (32) apiece at half time before the Pythons booted 6.6 to eight behinds after the break. George Angelopolous was the Bulls’ best with two goals while Michael Burke and Aaron Paxton also worked hard. In the final game, Frankston YCW worked over Seaford, winning 14.15 (99) to 6.9 (45). The Tigers did well to go with the Stonecats in the first half with only 12 points separating the sides at the break. However, with Kyle Hutchison and Jai Coghlan celebrating milestone games, the Stonecats turned up the heat after the long break and dominated the next hour. Byron and Anthony Barry were outstanding in the win, while Riley Hodson and Craig Nankervis were also dominant. Aaron Walton booted two goals and was Seaford’s best, while Brad Doyle and Josh Stokes were also among the votes.

Violence mars games FRANKSTON YCW Football Club launched an investigation into an incident that saw Josh Westerman left unconscious, carried from the ground and taken away by ambulance, in their match against Bonbeach two weeks ago. There is video of the incident. Despite three field umpires, goal umpires and boundary umpires, a report was not made in the incident. A melee followed the incident and in the melee, Bonbeach defender Jason Ferraro was sent from the field. He was not reported. It is alleged that Ferraro was the player involved in the Westerman incident. Bonbeach has also launched an investigation into Frankston YCW crowd behaviour at half time and three quarter time. The incident saw MPNFL Legend Kenny Sole, who has a son Jackson running around with the Sharks, assaulted by members of the crowd. It is believed that police charges will be laid in both incidents.

500th up for Ryan MPNFL star and Pines coach Steve Ryan played his 500th game on Saturday. Ryan, who played AFL with Richmond and Collingwood, was a premiership player at Pines and a premiership coach at Rye. As well as 500 games, he has kicked more than 770 goals.
