A NEWLY opened Frankston restaurant inadvertently found itself at the centre of a political stoush last week after Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead called the manager of The Groove Train a “union buster” on Twitter. Mr Armistead, who was attending a Liberal Party fundraiser for his

election campaign at the restaurant last Sunday evening (13 July), faced a protest outside the venue by firefighters unhappy about a long-running pay and conditions dispute with the Coalition state government. High-profile former Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella’s presence at the dinner event seemed to have fired up some hostility between the protesters and Liberal Party supporters on the night.

finger” when entering the restaurant building for the fundraiser. He said Ms Mirabella had claimed she had been “scratching her nose”. The Groove Train co-owner and manager Bonnie Cullen had asked protesters to clear the doorway to the restaurant, according to business partner and Groove Train founder John Dimos. Mr Dimos said Ms Cullen’s intervention had led Mr Armistead to make “a tongue in cheek comment”

Critics had subsequently slammed the restaurant online but Mr Dimos hosed down allegations The Groove Train has an anti-unions stance. “We are not aligned politically with anyone,” he said. “We’re a small business investing in Frankston and bringing jobs and a family friendly restaurant to the area.” Continued page 8

Hospital sets state asthma surgery benchmark SURGERY to ease the suffering of long-term asthma sufferers is now available at Frankston Hospital. It is the first time surgery to reduce the effects of asthma attacks on chronic asthma sufferers for whom traditional medications do not work has been offered in Victoria. Peninsula Health’s director of thoracic medicine, Professor David Langton, performed the procedure for the first time last week while accompanied by Harvard professor of medicine, Dr Armin Ernst, who pioneered the procedure. The bronchial thermoplasty procedure involves inserting a bronchoscope, or small tube, down the patient’s airway and into their lungs whilst they are under anaesthesia. A heat probe is then used to treat the muscles that cause bronchospasm. “By weakening these muscles they will no longer be able to cause wheeze and asthma attacks,” Prof Langton said. Debra Clarke is one of two patients for whom Professor Langton will be performing the surgery on for the first time. The 53-year-old mother of three has spent suffering from the effects of asthma since being diagnosed at 15 months of age. “I’ve had asthma for as long as I can remember and nothing has ever been able to relieve the constant wheeziness. I’ve never been able to be as active as I want to be. I never played sports. Even in school I used to hide my head in my bag to take my puffer for fear of being labelled as not

Breakthrough: Professor David Langton, third from left, conducts the first bronchial thermoplasty procedure on a patient in Victoria at Frankston Hospital.

normal,” Ms Clarke said As a chronic asthma sufferer she has spent her life on medication to try and relieve the constant heaviness in her chest. “I’ve had all the traditional medication and tried all the experimental trials I could, including going onto chemotherapy medication. “I am now at the point where the constant use of cortisone steroids is having a significant toll on my

body. My hair is thinning, my skin is weak and I am constantly covered in bruises. I have had to give up so much of my quality of life including my job because of my asthma. “One of the side effects of the use of steroids to treat asthma is getting diabetes. My dad, who was also a chronic asthma sufferer, passed away from steroid induced diabetes at 59. I really don’t want that to happen to me.” Ms Clarke hopes the surgery will

reduce her reliance on the cortisone steroids, minimise their effects on her body, and reduce her risk of getting diabetes. “Within six months I’m expecting to see my quality of life improve dramatically,” she said. “I’m just looking forward to doing those things we take for granted like breathing and walking with ease and without the fear of suffering an attack.”

The bronchial thermoplasty is only available for patients following a specialist review. Patients must have severe and persistent asthma that is not well controlled despite taking currently available medications. Since the procedure was approved for use in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in 2013 it has been performed on less than 20 patients in hospitals in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

Woman, 18, arrested over ‘tyreless pursuit’ Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au AN 18-year-old Frankston North woman is facing multiple criminal charges after crashing an allegedly stolen car being driven without tyres shortly after police called off a pursuit in Frankston on Wednesday. Police allege the teen driver put lives at risk after crossing onto the wrong side of FrankstonFrankston Rd about 8.30pm while attempting to flee police. Earlier in the evening, Frankston police received numerous calls from members of the public about a Hyundai i30 hatchback being driven on rims only, with all four tyres missing. The description of the vehicle matched that of a stolen car that had been involved in six previous pursuits with police earlier in the week. Frankston police said officers in a divisional van located the car in Frankston North but allege the driver sped off. Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb said police attempted to intercept the vehicle but were forced to call off the pursuit after it crossed onto the wrong side of the road. “About four minutes later, a Frankston highway patrol unit saw a car fitting the description in Frankston Cranbourne Rd,” Senior Sergeant

Lamb said. “They have attempted to intercept the vehicle, but the driver has again allegedly taken off, west along Frankston Cranbourne Rd. “The highway patrol terminated that pursuit after two minutes, when the driver allegedly ran a red light.” He said police received numerous tip offs of the car’s location from members of the public who called in details via mobile phones, while some drivers even attempted to assist police by using their vehicles to block and slow down the car. “One of our unmarked police vehicles located the car alleged to have been involved and commenced to follow it, covertly from distance,” Senior Sergeant Lamb said. “Marked units were instructed not to follow at that stage. The car was tracked east on FrankstonCranbourne Rd, still on driving on rims. “At the intersection of Frankston-Cranbourne Rd and Pearcedale Rd, the driver lost control of the car and drove into a ditch. The driver was arrested by the plain clothes unit.” The woman was charged with three counts of conduct endangering life, three counts of engaging in a police pursuit, driving in a dangerous manner, theft, and numerous other traffic offences. Police said mores charges were expected to be laid at a later date relating to the alleged earlier pursuits.

Bronco bolts: Police are searching for the driver of a “distinctive” utility vehicle that was involved in a high-speed chase through Seaford early last Wednesday this morning. A Frankston police unit spotted the white Ford Bronco at the intersection of Hartnet Drive and Seaford Rd about 12.20am when the driver ran a red light. Police attempted to intercept the vehicle but the driver refused to pull over. After a short chase along Seaford Rd, police terminated the pursuit when the vehicle veered onto the wrong side of FrankstonDandenong Road. Radio checks revealed the offending vehicle was fitted with stolen plates bearing registration number FPA575. Police released an image of a similar vehicle, which was described as a white Ford F100 or similar with silver tray. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

BEAT police spoiled the party for an alleged drug dealer after uncovering a commercial quantity of crystal methamphetamines stashed behind a fake car stereo in Seaford last week. The bust was made after a Carrum Downs divisional van unit pulled over a vehicle during a “routine intercept” in Brunell Rd last Saturday night. While speaking to the driver of the vehicle, police noticed an “ice pipe” on the console. Police then searched the vehicle and discovered a “fake” car stereo in the dash board, behind which they located a box contain 105 grams of ice value at around $100,000. Two sets of digital scales, three mobile phones and a small amount of marijuana were also located in the vehicle, police said. The was arrested and charged over a range of alleged offences, including drug trafficking.

 Earlier the same evening, two off-duty police officers helped apprehend a woman who crashed her car while more than four-times over the alcohol limit in Frankston. The officers were driving in a private vehicle along Wells Rd about 10pm when they saw a car crash into a street sign near the Frankston Freeway overpass. When the car failed to stop, the off-duty officers followed the vehicle and called Frankston police. Police intercepted the car in Fay St, Frankston, where a 42-year-old woman was questioned and asked to undergo a breath test. After returning a positive preliminary breath analysis, the woman was taken to Frankston police station where she returned an official reading .221 per cent. He licence was immediately suspended and she is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other traffic offences.

Civil protest: Harcourts real estate agent Michael Spring (third from left) addressed environmental protesters at an auction for a slice of Langwarrin land at McClelland Drive located in Frankston’s Green Wedge. Picture: Gary Sissons

Protest hinders wedge land sale A SLICE of Langwarrin land put up for sale failed to attract any bids at auction last Friday after environmentalists made it clear to prospective buyers it would be difficult to build residential homes on the land. Several environmental groups including the Frankston Environmental Friends Network and the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge attended the midday auction to protest that a sales pitch for the land at 565 McClelland Dve had classed the area as ‘residential’. Harcourts real estate agent Michael Spring said the protesters had been “very nice and civil” and he had no problem with them making their concerns known at the mortgagee auction. Mr Spring told The Times the land had been labelled as ‘residential’ on

the realestate.com.au website in error and he had asked the online real estate sales site to change the listing weeks before the auction took place. Last Friday’s auction was cancelled due to a lack of bidders. “It’s a tough block of land to sell and it’ll now be up to the bank [the mortgagee] to decide what to do next,” Mr Spring said. FEFN chair David Cross said the group would “keep an eye” on the situation. He believed a buyer had expressed an interest in building “a small school” on the southern end of the land away from the environmentally sensitive Pobblebonk Reserve wetland. Mr Cross said the group would be happy to “work with” the potential

buyer if that was the case. The land is zoned Rural Conservation Zone within Frankston’s green wedge and had been spruiked by Harcourts Langwarrin as “a blank canvas of 3.395 hectares (approx) of predominately cleared land, with loads of potential, situated on two separate titles.” Frankston Council also highlighted land use restrictions to mortgagee Westpac Banking Corporation in a letter dated 9 July seen by The Times. Hasstta Holdings purchased the property for $550,000 in 2006 before entering administration recently. Hasstta Holdings was convicted at Frankston Magistrates Court in 2009 for removing native vegetation at the site without a permit. Neil Walker

Labor hopefuls a family affair Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au A MOTHER and daughter are hoping to win neighbouring seats for the Labor Party at the November state election. While Sonia Kilkenny has already been appointed the candidate for Carrum, her mother Raelene Kilkenny still needs the party’s blessing to contest Frankston. The 73-year-old nominated for preselection on Thursday but will have to wait until next Thursday (24 July) to find out if she is successful. Lined up against her for Labor’s endorsement is Paul Edbrooke, a fireman who, at 35, is less than half Ms Kilkenny’s age. Ms Kilkenny describes herself as “old and disabled” and believes Frankston should be represented by a woman in state parliament, “someone who knows what’s going on”. Mr Edbrooke, of Mt Eliza, was last week given a dispensation by Labor’s administrative committee to seek preselection one day after joining the party. His surprise inclusion in the preselection race led to James Dooley deciding not to nominate. Mr Dooley, a Frankston councillor, was disappointed by the dispensation handed to Mr Edbrooke and this week said it could lead to his resignation from the party. “I didn’t nominate because it would be a waste of time,” Mr Dooley said, adding that the successful candidate would not be chosen by the Frankston ALP branch.

Without going into details, Mr Dooley said he would not “subject my family to the maliciousness I’ve seen”. “It’s very demoralising – I won’t do it. I’m not quitting the party, but we’ll see what happens.” The party’s original candidate Helen Constas was forced to withdraw last month after it was revealed a staff member had accused her of bullying when she was chief executive of the Peninsula Legal Centre. Despite appearing to have the blessing of the ALP executive, Mr Edbrooke does not want to discuss election issues, telling The News on Thursday that he would “only confirm” that he was a candidate. He said he “approached the ALP” seeking to be a candidate after issues in Frankston “got me thinking”. Mr Edbrooke joined the ALP on 9 July and was given the nod to seek preselection the following day. A party official contacted by The News was reluctant to talk about the preselection process, saying he was “not at liberty” to give out the names of preselection candidates. Raelene Kilkenny is not so shy, and has issued a statement saying she is “sick and tired of the people of Frankston being derided and treated like second class citizens and the area denigrated by all and sundry”. The 73-year-old mother of Sonia Kilkenny, who is standing for the neighbouring seat of Carrum, said “constructive programs” were needed to fix Frankston’s problems with drug use and homelessness. State and federal government money was needed “to help provide more so-

cial housing, better drug management programs and more targeted training programs, especially for the young unemployed,” Raelene Kilkenny said. “Sure there are some problems – lack of public and supported housing and adequate accommodation and services for the homeless and it has a drug culture particularly around the station precinct,” she stated. “But these issues are not going to be ameliorated by closing rooming houses and demolishing a building where homeless people are squatting or by building a multi-million dollar roof over Frankston station. “These are some of the reasons why I am asking the people of Frankton for their support, so I may become the next state member for the seat of Frankston and that with their help we may start to address the real needs of the people of this area.” Ms Kilkenny is the immediate past secretary of the ALP’s Frankston branch and secretary of the Dunkley Federal Electorate Campaign Committee. She says she does not belong to any Labor faction or a union. “The union movement and the Labor Party have been responsible for all the benefits and conditions which we now all enjoy. “It was not the employers and not the conservative ideologues like the current state and federal governments who achieved these things and who are now trying to unravel so many of them.” Seeking endorsement: Raelene Kilkenny wants to stand for the Labor Party in Frankston.

Did the system fail Luke and Rosie? Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au

Picket on the menu: Firefighters protested outside a Liberal Party fundraiser held at The Groove Train restaurant in Frankston last weekend.

Tweet fires up online ‘bullies’ Continued from page 1 Mr Dimos was disappointed some people had criticised his business without knowing the facts. “We’ve been subjected to nasty comments online… and people have been calling up saying they will never come to our restaurant.” Mr Bevis said Ms Bullen had been respectful when she asked union members to move away from The Groove Train’s entrance. “She asked us to move further towards the corner of the street which was fair enough,” he said. As for Mr Armistead’s “union buster” tweet that caused the furore, Mr Dimos said the Liberal hopeful had “made a bad judgement call.” “I asked him to take the tweet down

and he has,” Mr Dimos said. Mr Armistead told The Times “it’s quite concerning when a light-hearted quip causes a backlash against a good local business.” He said he deleted the Twitter comment for the The Groove Train’s sake and said he believed unions “played a necessary role… but it’s got to be a healthy and harmonious relationship between unions and employers.” Mr Armistead condemned callers and online critics who had tried to “intimidate” Mr Dimos and his staff. Mr Dimos said: “It’s just some clowns online getting upset... and I’m not going to cop bullying behaviour.” Ms Mirabella did not respond to The Times before publication.

ROSIE Batty may have acted differently on the day her son Luke was killed by his father had she been made aware her estranged partner had made disturbing death threats towards a housemate just weeks earlier, the ABC’s Four Corners program revealed last Monday. Greg Anderson, who murdered Luke by bashing him with a cricket bat and stabbing him with a knife following a mid-week cricket practice session at Tyabb on 12 February, threatened to cut his housemate’s head off during an argument at the Chelsea Heights home they shared. After being removed from the property by police, he moved to a Frankston hostel. Police failed to mention the incident to Ms Batty despite contacting her just a week before Luke’s death in their efforts to track Anderson down over the grisly death threat. Ms Batty said that had she been told of the death threat and multiple warrants out for Anderson’s arrest, she may have been more aware of the danger she and her son were in. “A lot of us are very careless saying ‘I could kill you, you know, you’re driving me mad’ ... but to actually say … to decapitate someone. They’re not light comments,” she told Four Corners. The incidents leading up to Luke’s murder and Ms Batty’s subsequent

Crusade: Rosie Batty is working to overhaul the way police respond to family violence. Pic: Gary Sissons

crusade to both shed light on the fragmented response to family violence and improve protection for victims, were the focus of the latest Four Corners investigation. Ms Batty has refused to blame police or government agencies for failing to prevent her son’s death, instead choosing to use the tragedy to try to highlight systemic deficiencies and improve the response to domestic violence. However, she warns there will be more tragedies unless something is done. “Things happen in such a fragmented fashion … each statement you make to the police is a separate statement, each policeman you meet is a different policeman, each organisation is doing their own job with their own focus,” she said. “No-one’s taking an overarching look at everything that's going on to-

gether. No-one’s looking at the complete picture.” While there is no definitive answer to the question of whether Luke’s brutal death could have been prevented, the program makes clear more could and should have been done to protect him and his mother. For years, Ms Batty struggled to manage the increasingly violent behaviour of Luke’s father of her son. “She called for help – loud and clear. She involved the police, the courts, child protection and social workers to keep her son and herself safe. But this didn’t happen,” says reporter Geoff Thompson. Ms Batty said that while Anderson’s behaviour was never going to “put him away”, some degree of intervention may have been “just enough for him to rethink, or maybe enough of a red flag for me to understand what acute danger Luke and I were in”. Victoria Police Commissioner Ken Lay, who has worked closely with Ms Batty since Luke’s murder in order to address shortcomings in the way family violence is addressed, agrees the system needs to be overhauled. “When you need to look someone in the eye like Rosie and hear how the system dealt with her and understand how the system may have let some of those people down, it’s very, very confronting,” Mr Lay said. A coronial inquest into the events leading to Luke’s murder and subsequent fatal shooting of Greg Anderson by police will be held in October.

Wig-wearing thief shatters holiday dream Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au THE retirement holiday dreams of an elderly Patterson Lakes couple have been shattered by the theft of their $70,000 caravan from the driveway of their home in broad daylight. Ron and Leonie Higman were just days from setting off on a three-month outback holiday adventure to Darwin when their fully loaded Jayco Sterling caravan was stolen on Thursday 10 July. Luckily, police on Thursday located their caravan at a Sunbury residence, along with a second caravan stolen from Invermay a week earlier. A 35-year-old Queensland man was arrested and charged over the thefts after an off-duty police officer spotted the distinctive Toyota Hilux utility with the Higman’s caravan still attached in the back yard of the Sunbury property. Unfortunately, the Higmans discovered their caravan had been “trashed” and, while they were happy to have it back, they won’t be able to go on their long-planned holiday. “We’re very grateful to the police for helping get our caravan back, but we’re still very upset to see the state it was left in,” Mrs Higman said. “There’s no major damage but there were a lot of things broken, like the locks and electrical wiring, and the inside has been completely trashed. “All our personal items were strewn around inside and there are lot of things missing - strange things that you wouldn’t think worth stealing, like Ron’s underwear and socks, toothbrushes, clothes. It was very odd.” Mrs Higman said they would now have to take

their caravan in for repairs and that it was too late to set off on their road trip to Darwin. “We might try to get away for a quick holiday, but that’s it as far as big outback trip to Darwin goes. Hopefully we can get there next year.” Police were optimistic of tracking down the two stolen caravans after clear images of the “distinctive” Toyota Hilux utility used in the robbery were widely circulated via police channels and the media. Footage of the alleged thief driving off with the Bagman’s caravan was captured by a neighbour’s security camera, while further footage was obtained following two unsuccessful robbery attempts in Monbulk on 30 June. Mr Higman, who spent the last 10 years of his working life serving customers at Fletcher Jones in Frankston before retiring in 2010, said the theft had not only wrecked their holiday but had also shattered the peace of mind of their whole neighbourhood. “This has knocked the wind out of our sails; we’re devastated,” he said. “He’s stolen more than just our caravan, he’s stolen our holiday and peace of mind. “All the neighbours are really shaken up by this. It really hits your sense of security.” Jonny Jovic, from Scarborough, Queensland, has been charged with two counts of theft of caravan, two counts of attempted theft of caravan, theft of number plates, fitting fraudulent number plates, possessing an article for burglary, theft and deception, possessing proceeds of crime, and possessing an article of disguise. He was remanded in custody to face Broadmeadows Magistrates Court at a later date.

SES gear up for new tools NEW road rescue gear will be available to Frankston SES thanks to a grant from the state government. Equipment including hydraulic rescue tools such as “the jaws of life” used to get trapped passengers out of smashed up vehicles after collisions will be bought by the SES. Emergency services minister Kim Wells said every SES unit in Victoria would also receive a new computer as part of the 2014-15 Volunteer Emergency Services Equipment Program grants totalling $12.23 million. “We are providing our volunteers with extra resources and the latest equipment which will increase their capacity to respond to emergencies and ensure the safety of our volunteers,” Mr Wells said. Victoria SES CEO Stephen Griffin said the grants were a key way for SES units to buy new

vehicles or buildings, make upgrades to existing buildings and purchase specialist equipment to help them serve their communities. “VESEP is another example of the support available to the emergency services in Victoria and it is greatly appreciated,” he said. Mr Wells said: “SES volunteers at more than 150 units across the state will benefit from having the latest computers to help them carry out their vital work.” Frankston SES is hosting a trivia night fundraiser at Frankston Mechanics Hall, 1N Plowman Place at 7pm on Saturday 26 July. To book tables for eight, contact Naomi at frankston@ses.vic.gov.au or on 0400 984 722. There will be lucky door prizes and gold coin donation games to play. BYO drinks, nibbles, alcohol. Entry $15 per person.

Local is best when it comes to tasty tucker

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

WHEN you tuck into dinner think about where those tasty fruits and vegetables come from. No, not the fruit shop, where they are grown. For Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents, this is often nearby as the region is a growth area in fruit and vegetable terms, producing 32 per cent of the state’s lettuce, 24 per cent of its herbs, 14 per cent of its broccoli, 14 per cent of its strawberries, and 4 per cent of its raspberries. The market gardens are also well placed to receive cheap water from the Carrum Downs sewerage treatment plant and are relatively close to Melbourne’s CBD in transport terms, making them worthy of protection at a time when pressure on ‘freeing up’

acreage for new housing is strong. Dr Rachel Carey, lead researcher of the Food Alliance, a Deakin University program funded by VicHealth, said it was most important to keep Melbourne’s food production areas close by, rather than forcing them into remote areas and more vulnerable to rising fuel costs and higher water bills. These would all have deleterious effects on food prices – especially during times of drought brought on by climate change. And, with the Melbourne’s population expected to rise to almost eight million by 2050, she said the need to protect our most productive farmland was crucial. The Food Alliance research found that 40-50 per cent of Melbourne’s

vegetables are grown on the city’s doorstep - with a massive 10 per cent grown in Werribee South. Dr Carey said food production areas close to the city must be protected by fixing urban growth boundaries permanently and ensuring remaining market growing areas are protected for future generations. “Plan Melbourne recognises this problem, but doesn’t go far enough in delivering effective solutions to creating a permanent city boundary to protect Melbourne’s foodbowl.” She said farms on the urban fringe created 6000 jobs and contributed $1.3$1.6 billion to Victoria’s economy. “Easy access to shoppers, transport, wholesale markets, water and labour

are what makes these areas viable for growing food for the future as our population increases.” Without protection, the Food Alliance research predicts available farmland within Melbourne’s urban boundaries — around 2000sq km, with 90sq km dedicated to fruit and vegetable growing in 1950s — will shrink to less than 200sq km by 2030. A Plan Melbourne statement reportedly promotes the huge export potential of city-fringe farms, and says a permanent urban boundary is crucial for safeguarding food production. It calls for high-value agricultural land to be mapped and protected. Stephen Taylor

Rise in older renters leads to homeless fears Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE spectre of homelessness in old age weighs heavily on those lacking the job prospects and mobility of someone younger. This is especially so for older renters. Adding to the threats posed by rising property prices, insufficient superannuation, or joblessness come other worries: unexpected eviction, unaffordable rents or increasingly unsuitable accommodation exacerbated by advancing years. The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that from 2006-2011 there was a 40 per cent increase in the number of people aged over 55 renting privately on the Mornington Peninsula. That is up from 1028 to 1413 tenants. The figures taken from the 2011 census show a trend that those working in the aged housing area say is not going anywhere but up. And they mirror the 44 per cent national increase in older renters (over 55). They reinforce a growing concern that – as renters - more and more elderly residents are at risk of losing their homes through eviction, lack of affordability or because their house is becoming unsuitable without handrails, ramps or walk-in showers. Often landlords will not approve the changes as they incur unwanted costs. A study by Swinburne University and the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute shows: ď Ž A decline in private rental

Eviction threat follows safety plea AN elderly man, who recently began using a wheelchair, is facing eviction from his rented Langwarrin home of the past eight years. The reason, he believes, is because he asked the landlord to allow him to install safety rails so he can better cope with his disability. A notice to vacate arrived 10 days after his request. The man, who asked not to be named, now faces an uncertain future. Shane McGrath, a tenancy worker for the Home At Last service, said the tenant had been given 120 days’ notice – the minimum time required for eviction without a specific reason. “We are preparing to challenge this at VCAT,� he said. “It is inappropriate that the man is given a notice to vacate while exercising his rights as a tenant.� Mr McGrath said the man – who is paying $478 a fortnight in rent now had “limited options� in finding another private rental. “The wheelchair certainly rules out houses with stairs, and most estate agents would look askance at a tenant needing special provision.� He reiterated that the pitfalls of private renting – such as the lack of security of tenure - made it “inappropriate� for the elderly. “We are talking to the landlord and asking him to withdraw the eviction notice. But we have to prove that the tenant received the notice because of the request. “ The 10 days’ notice between the two incidents may prove telling.

affordability with the median rent to median income ratio changing from 19 per cent in 1981 to 26.9 per cent in 2011; ď Ž Heightened rates of residential mobility, with 40 per cent of private tenants moving three or more times in five years compared with 7.8 per cent of other tenures; ď Ž ‘Forced housing moves’ including evictions and unaffordability rising to 22.6 per cent. The study also found that baby boomers are more likely to rent and less likely to own a home than

previous generations and that, overall, rates of home ownership are falling while rental rates are rising. On the peninsula, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $290 a week. This means tenants on the pension pay 60 per cent of their income on rent – forcing them to sacrifice essentials such as heating, electricity and health care. To help them, Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG), in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire, has launched Ageing at Home - the Older Persons Housing

Information Strategy. It aims to ensure that older people in housing difficulties get the help they need through easy access to services, and especially in finding long term, affordable – and secure - housing that is adaptable as they age. HAAG education and housing advice manager Jeff Fiedler said the census data highlighted a significant rising trend in which aged renters are vulnerable to rising rents in often substandard accommodation, facing easy eviction and perhaps a falling pension income when a partner dies. This scenario is especially relevant to older women who may have spent time out of the workforce raising children, have come from low-paid jobs and have limited superannuation. Living longer than men, on average, may leave them unable to pay private rents when their partner dies. Mr Fiedler said the housing situation “could be horrible� for aged renters – and made worse by “years of under-spending in public housing�. Rosebud, Mornington, Hastings and other and parts of the southern peninsula have significant numbers of aged renters – many living in former holiday homes. Poor insulation and inadequate heating makes them cold in winter and poorly suited to aged living. And, with no caps, rents can double overnight leading to an accommodation crisis. Mr Fiedler said older renters

should take action “before there’s a crisis� to transition to private ownership by applying for public housing in areas where they prefer to live. This housing comes with lifetime tenure, rent is 25 per cent of the pension, and they are purpose built for the elderly. “It’s a good idea to plan ahead – before there’s a crisis,� he said. “There’s access to this type of housing across the peninsula which is in good condition, has a walkin shower, fewer steps and ramps that suit the elderly. Much of it is in small clusters with neighbours of the same age in a community setting. “People have a right to live happy and fulfilling lives – no matter what their age.� Those seeking help can call Home at Last on 1300 765 178. Meetings organised by Consumer Affairs Victoria next month will discuss affordable housing options for seniors. They will include discussions on tenants’ rights and responsibilities in retirement housing and private rental, as well as how to avoid scams.

Dolphins pitch in to help A LITTLE bit of World Cup fever has spread to the Frankston Dolphins Football Club. The AFL and Football Federation Australia are engaged in a turf war to capture the hearts, minds and feet of youngsters playing sport but the Dolphins have been happy to indulge in a bit of cross-code cooperation to help out Skye United Football Club. The Dolphins opened up Frankston Park to the football club for training on Tuesday evenings after Skye United’s home ground was flooded following recent heavy rains. Skye Recreation Reserve underwent a $588,000 upgrade, which was completed in April, including the installation of floodlights, however, drainage problems have caused one corner of the pitch to repeatedly flood when it rains. Skye United FC’s under 15s team manager Stewart Armao said Frankston Council had “been excellent” in helping them find new training digs for the club while the Skye Recreation Reserve drainage problem was fixed by putting them in touch with the Frankston Dolphins. “We’re hoping to be back at our home ground at the end of September for next season and we’re

playing our matches at John Paul College in the meantime,” Mr Armao said. He thanked John Paul College, Frankston Pines Football Club and Peninsula Strikers for also helping Skye United with access to training facilities before Frankston Dolphins came to their rescue. Mr Armao said the club’s teams had trained at rival football clubs’ grounds but their pitches began to get “cut up” from increased players’ traffic. Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said works to divert stormwater currently flowing from Ballarto Rd onto Skye Recreation Reserve should take place over the next three months. “Council staff are looking at ways to divert stormwater that is currently overflowing from Ballarto Rd and affecting the ground, and also ways to improve drainage flow away from the ground,” Mr Hovenden said. “Coring and dethatching works are planned for the field in September/October which is a normal process once the turf has established. “This will also assist with allowing the water to penetrate through the profile into the drainage system.” Neil Walker

ALP pledges $3m for Seaford Park primary Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au

Man charged over Seaford shooting A 30-YEAR-old man has been charged with attempted murder over the shooting of man and woman in Seaford last weekend. Michael Robertson, of Seaford, was remanded in custody after appearing before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday where he faced charges of attempted murder, intentionally causing serious injury and recklessly causing serious injury. He was arrested shortly after the shooting incident in Levuka St about 9pm last Saturday during which a 52-year-old man and 50-year-old woman were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. The man suffered serious injuries and taken to The Alfred hospital where he was reported to be in a stable condition, while the woman suffered minor

injuries and was taken by ambulance to Frankston Hospital. A lawyer representing the accused told the court Robertson’s wife was seven months pregnant and he had never been held in custody before. He did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody pending a further bail hearing at a later date. Police said the shooting was not a random incident and that the parties were known to each other. Police blocked off the street and set up a crime scene following the incident, with officers scouring the properties for evidence throughout the night and the following day. Frankston police said officers would attend the street to speak to neighbours and offer support and counselling to anyone affected by the incident.

Crime scene: Police sealed off Levuka St in Seaford last Saturday night (12 July) following a shooting in which a 52-year-old man and 50-year-old woman were injured. The couple was taken by ambulance to hospital with gunshot wounds. Police scoured the crime scene for evidence and conducted interviews with neighbours throughout the night and the following day.

SEAFORD Park Primary School will receive a $3 million upgrade if the ALP wins November’s state election, opposition leader Daniel Andrews announced last week. Mr Andrews joined Labor candidate for Carrum, Sonya Kilkenny, and opposition education spokesman James Merlino to deliver the news to parents and teachers. At present, all classrooms at school are portables and the funding pledge would be used to build new learning spaces. Mr Andrews said the Coalition had abandoned Labor’s plan to renovate, rebuild or modernise every Victorian government school. He said that with the Napthine government spending an average of only $278 million a year on capital works compared to an average state-wide spend of $467 million by Labor in its last term in office, schools such as Seaford Park were being neglected. “Denis Napthine abandoned this school, but Labor will replace the rundown buildings and provide new facilities to help the school grow,” he said. Ms Kilkenny said that while Seaford Park was the smallest school in the area, enrolments were growing quickly, with the school introducing a second prep class this year. “Seaford Park Primary is a great school that’s under a lot of pressure – Labor’s pledge will help it do so much more.”

However, the state government said Mr Andrews was “taking Victorians for fools if he thinks people have forgotten about the dire condition of our schools when Labor left office in 2010”. A statement released by the Coalition following a number of funding commitments made to schools by the opposition last week, including the Seaford Park announcement, accuses the ALP of giving “false hope to around 200 schools that they would be funded – and then walked away”. “If Victorians want an indication of Mr Andrews' ability to run an education system, they need look no further than the independent audit that found that a decade of Labor neglect left a $420 million maintenance backlog for Victorian schools. “In contrast, the Napthine Government invested $500 million in school capital projects in the most recent state budget.” Coalition funding commitments for schools around Frankston include $300,000 for Kananook Primary School, $540,000 for Belvedere Park Primary School, $875,000 for Seaford North and Seaford primary schools, and $1 million for Patterson River Secondary College. Frankston High School was the biggest winner from the state budget, with the government announcing the school would receive a guaranteed $8.5 million this year for major redevelopment works and a further $10 million should the Coalition retain power at the November election.

Call for reassessment of port expansion Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au UNIVERSITY researchers have called for a reassessment of the state government’s plans to spend an estimated $12 billion developing a container port at Hastings. They say a fall-back position is vital in case the Port of Hastings project fails. The researchers say a “simplistic” view is being taken by governments assuming larger ships will come if a deep water port is offered. However, shipping companies will not send the world’s largest ships because the Australian market is not large enough. Smaller ships with quicker turnaround times capable of entering Port Phillip make more economic sense for carrying Victoria’s agricultural and perishable food-related exports. The government will also have difficulty fulfilling its obligations by building a port in an internationally recognised wetland area. The researchers say decisions made on how to cope with predicted levels of imports and exports over the next 40 years will affect everyone in Victoria and should not be based solely on pol-itical decisions. In a research paper titled Build it – but will they come? Hermione Parsons and Peter Van Duyn say shipping companies are unlikely to send megaships to Melbourne, with the economy being better served by similar sized vessels to those already coming and going from Port Phillip. They estimate more than 70 per cent of containers would have to reach Hastings – by road or rail – through metropolitan Melbourne, increasing distances from the current average of 22 kilometres to more than 100. The government has yet to say how much it will cost to upgrade land transport networks. Dr Parsons said the Build it – but will they come? report was aimed at “lifting discussion [about developing the Port of Hastings] above day-today politics”. Dr Parsons said it was “so important to get [the port decision] right and not get it wrong.” The state government is spending $110 million through the Hastings Port Development Authority with the aim of having all necessary planning and environmental approvals through by 2017 – with construction to be completed by 2027. However, the Labor Opposition says building a new container port in Port Phillip may make more economic sense.

Easy access: A regular visitor to the Port of Melbourne, the 52,600 tonne Cap Frio is 256 metres long, had a draught of 11.4 metres and can carry 3470 containers. The ship was built in 2012 and according to university researchers fits the bill for what is needed for Victroria’s export and import markets. Picture: Keith Platt

This so-called Bay West option could become a reality if Labor wins the November state election. The research paper states there is a need for “a continuation of planning for alternatives, should the Port of Hastings development project fail”. Dr Parsons said the two-year study launched last week at a function arranged by the Committee for Wyndham was funded solely by Victoria University. The launch was attended by 180 people from across the state, including Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins and strategic planning manager Allan Cowley. There were no representatives from the City of Frankston. Dr Parsons said “political interests” had offered financial help with the study but the university decided to pay “because we had to be neutral”. The study – by the university’s institute for supply chain and logistics department - was released in the same week that the state government reaffirmed its commitment to develop a container port at Hastings and accused the Labor opposition of being out of step with its Hastings candidate. While Labor is pushing for a new container on the western side of Port Phillip near Geelong or Werribee, its Hastings candidate Steve Hosking said last week that he remained committed to Hastings if it meant jobs for at least 500 people. Dr Parsons said she would like to present her findings to a meeting in Western Port. “We’re not supporting one location or another and we don’t think [Labor’s] Bay West is the best alternative,” she said. Dr Parsons said the capacity of the Port of Melbourne should be reas-

sessed and a “pre-mortem technique” applied to the Hastings proposal. The research paper describes the pre-mortem technique as “imagining that the project has failed … It is a simple technique that can indicate potential problems and prospects, as well as expose any weaknesses in the project”. The paper goes on the say that mega ships will be used only to service Europe, China, India, the Middle east and the Americas and gives the example of the port of Rotterdam, which services 350 million people “compared with Australia’s total market population of 23 million people and Victoria’s current population of 6 million that is anticipated to grow to 10 million people by 2050”. “The stark differences in market sizes emphasise that in order to maintain a container shipping service that satisfies Australia’s need for reliable, regular (weekly) movement of imports and exports … the smaller container vessels are likely to be more suitable than the larger mega ships. “The Port of Hastings development project is designed to cater for nine million containers (TEU) per annum by 2050. “While freight logistics and transport service providers may relocate they must pass on to customers the higher operating costs resulting from moving approximately an extra 100 kilometres away from the current industrial ‘heartland’ in the west of the metropolitan region, with the same long distances on the return trip.” When the Port of Hastings reaches its capacity of nine million containers (TEU) as planned in 2050, the landside task could potentially involve the movement of 4.5 million containers annually to and from Melbourne’s main western industrial district. This

would require: 1.5 million B-double trucks, or 50,000 freight trains carrying 90 containers a train, annually;  More than 4000 trucks or 140 trains moving across Melbourne’s road and rail network between Melbourne’s industrial west and north, and Hastings, daily. “Constructing a nine million TEU container terminal in the Ramsar convention-protected area will require intensive and guaranteed mitigation measures, to ensure the wetlands continue to be fully protected. The government’s response will have to withstand very determined local, national and international scrutiny and demonstrate the safety of the wetlands against any foreseeable damage from the construction, dredging, mainte

nance and maritime operations of the Port of Hastings,” the report states. Economic and social issues will likely opposition to:  Australia’s potential failure to fulfil its international obligations and responsibilities as a signatory to an environmental protection convention;  The potential destruction of Western Port coastal scenery affecting landholders and residential and holiday home owners between Cape Schanck and Stony Point, on the Mornington Peninsula; on French Island; and between Ventnor and Cowes on Phillip Island;  The impacts on the region’s tourist industry, including the internationally significant fairy penguin parade and seals at The Nobbies on Phillip Island, of the port and its maritime operations;  Concerns throughout Melbourne over the potential loss of properties and amenity resulting from the construction and operation of road works, and the south east rail link, for trains to cross the Yarra River and travel via Richmond, Flinders St and Southern Cross stations to the Tottenham freight rail yards, which may require excavation work in affluent Malvern, Armadale, Toorak, Hawksburn and South Yarra. “These politically sensitive social and environmental issues could lead the government of the day to re-evaluate the political costs of the proposed port and associated infrastructure, and decide instead to concentrate on metropolitan and regional commuter transport priorities and other more pressing constituency issues.”

Film shows lives changed by terror in Timor AS well as the disturbing scenes of war and violence we often see from afar, are the consequences which last for years and generations: trauma, loss of social “glue”, a lesser capacity to build a better life. Timor Leste (East Timor) has become familiar to thousands of Australians who have put their skills and energies to help, and redress past injustices experienced by a poor and vulnerable nation distorted by violent colonialisms, most recently Indonesian, from 1975 to 1999. The Timorese people were ignored by other nations, including Australia, which collaborated or looked the other way. Last year’s Timor visit by 14 local Friends of Lospalos (supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire) was a highpoint in this eight-year relationship, which has financed many education and other projects. But the Timorese also said “It’s not just the money, you are our family.” The new feature film, Beatriz’s War, illustrates some of the post-colonial issues which afflict re-construction. After a massacre by Indonesian soldiers, Beatriz’s husband, Tomas, disappears, hopefully to join the Falintil resistance. As happened all over Timor, when the men were killed or fled to the hills to fight, women grew as leaders and made hard choices, including in their role as “clandestinos”. Following independence, Tomas returns and is a different man; Beatriz has changed also. Exploring their new relationship, she asks herself uncomfortable questions about him and what happened during his 16-year absence. She has seen and done enough to be strong and determined enough to resolve her doubts. Melbourne producer/directors Luigi Acquisto and Stella Zammataro have made a number of documentaries about Timor Leste since 2001, and teamed up with Timorese filmmakers Bety Reis and Lurdes Pires for Beatriz’s War. The cast includes Jose da Costa (Answered by Fire, Balibo) and the screenplay was written by Irim Tolentino (Beatriz) who also plays the lead of Rosa in a Timor TV series. The real-life experiences of the Indonesian occupation have informed the acting of many of the cast, and bring out some compelling and anguished performances. One location, Kraras, was the site of the 1983 massacre portrayed in the film and some of the film extras were there at the time. The film took more than a year to make and received early support from

FOR ALL YOUR TAXATION NEEDS Specialists in Personal Returns, Rental Properties, Partnerships, Companies and Trusts

See an expert, avoid tax scams THE Australian Taxation Office has warned investors not to be fooled by legitimate-looking tax avoidance schemes. ATO deputy commissioner Tim Dyce said illegal schemes are usually designed to appear legitimate, even to experienced investors, but there are telltale signs you can look out for. “Tax avoidance schemes aren’t always the ‘too good to be true’ types. They can be more sophisticated than many people realise,” Mr Dyce said. In particular, Mr Dyce advised people to watch out for complex structures and unusual financing arrangements such as round robin financing and non-recourse loans. “If the main purpose of the arrangement is to reduce your assessable income by claiming deductions you are not entitled to, without any real investment, it is likely to be a scheme.” In one case, promoters offered a ‘mortgage

management plan’ promising to assist investors in repaying their home loan sooner. The scheme involved using the equity in their home to get additional loans for the purpose of claiming investment deductions equivalent to home loan interest payments. It’s not just the design of the arrangement you have to look out for, but also what the promoter is promising and asking from you in return. “We often see promoters of illegal arrangements guaranteeing that their product is ‘no risk’. They’ll also encourage you to keep the arrangement a secret or discourage you from seeking independent advice,” Mr Dyce said. The ATO encourages anyone unsure about a tax investment they have been offered to seek a second opinion from an independent and trusted tax professional. “At the end of the day, when it all goes wrong, it will be you and not just the promoter, who will

have to face the penalties.” Be wary of promoters that:  Offer zero-risk guarantees for their product.  Refer you to a particular adviser or expert. They may seek to persuade you by claiming the adviser has specific knowledge about the arrangement and the promised tax benefits.  Ask you to maintain secrecy to protect the arrangement from rival firms.  Discourage you from obtaining independent advice.  Do not have a product disclosure statement or prospectus for the product. Watch the ATO’s ‘Get a second opinion’ YouTube video for more details at www.ato.gov. au/general/tax-planning/second-opinion For more information about how to get out of a scheme and report illegal arrangements and promoters see www.ato.gov.au/general/taxplanning

THE attitudes of people involved in projects undertaken by the Western Port Biosphere Reserve are being studied and compared to a similar undertaking in South Africa. “I want to find out if the people involved in the projects begin to see the landscape in a different light,� Swedish researcher Simon West said. He is taking a “close look� at how networking and communication encouraged by the biosphere’s Growing Connections project impacts the landscape. “In particular, we tend to think about biodiversity in our local patch – but these corridor projects encourage us to think about how biodiversity interacts across wider, regional scales,� Mr West said. He says, “concepts like biolinks have been much studied for their ecological benefits, but I’m interested in how they also bring social benefits such as increased knowledge of other initiatives and opportunities in the region�. A PHD student at the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, Mr West arrived in Australia in February on a visiting fellowship to the Centre for Excellence in Environmental Decision-making (CEED). He is based at RMIT in Melbourne. His work in Western Port is part of an international research project examining participatory processes in UNESCO biosphere reserves and will examine how the Growing Connections project fosters social as well as ecological connectivity. Mr West’s findings will be compared to those collected in South Africa’s Cape West Coast

Biosphere Reserve. The two biosphere reserves are similar in size, proximity to rapidly expanding cities, native grasslands and touirism areas. Both Growing Connections and the West Coast Corridor aim to reconnect the landscape by building biolink corridors. The success of each project depends on the participation of private landowners, which differs to national park-style conservation. The Western Port Biosphere’s Growing Connections project benefits from federal government funding for revegetation while the West Coast Corridor project works by encouraging landholders to place restrictions on their land titles and form a joint nature reserve.

WHAT MAKES A HUSQVARNA

Tourism snub ruffles feathers on peninsula Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au IT may be one of the country’s most pop tourist destinations, but the Mornington Peninsula doesn’t even rate a mention among the state’s top 12 “experiences and destinations”, according to the latest edition of Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria. Taking out top spot in the ninth edition of the travel company’s Melbourne and Victoria guide book is the Great Ocean Road, with Melbourne’s laneways, The Grampians, Melbourne’s “cultural and sporting hub”, and Wilsons Promontory rounding out the top five. The closest the peninsula comes to rating a mention among Victoria’s “must visit” locations is the listing of Phillip Island and its penguin parade as the seventh most appealing tourist destination. Rounding out the top 12 were St Kilda, the High Country, Mildura, Gippsland Lakes, “Country Charm”, and Walhalla. Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said she was surprised the peninsula didn’t rate a mention in the guide book’s top twelve, especially as the region was usually regarded as one of Melbourne’s tourist destinations. She said the peninsula was “much-loved by residents and visitors alike, offering a great tourism experience, plenty of things to do and see”. “The Mornington Peninsula has been a major drawcard for local, national and international visitors for decades, and the range of tourism experiences, activities and events continue to grow each year – including this year’s Cool Climate Wine Show, Melbourne International Film Festival screening and the Archibald Prize exhibition,” Cr Celi said. The omission from the latest Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria edition, which was released last week, stands in stark contrast to the state government’s official tourism website, Visit Victoria, which lists the Mornington Peninsula as its number one attraction. It is also surprising given that Tourism Australia’s latest global marketing campaign focuses on the country’s “exceptional food and wine experiences” – areas in which the Mornington Peninsula has gained international renown. Tourism Australia chief marketing officer Nick Baker said food and wine producers were the “stars” of the international Restaurant Australia marketing campaign, which aims to boost visitor numbers by highlighting the country’s “unique and exceptional food and wine experiences” being served-up at “remarkable locations” such as the peninsula. He said extensive research conducted by Tourism Australia showed food and wine were the most important factors in holiday decision making. “The concept of Restaurant Australia has been built based on consumer research which identified food and wine as a key factor in holiday decision making and the most important emotive trigger, ahead of world class beauty, for influencing people’s destination choice,” Mr Baker said. “For people who’ve never visited Australia, awareness of our food and wine offering is low. However, once they visit, people realise the variety and quality of our food and wine experiences is world-class and Australia moves to the top of the rankings as a one of the world’s best culinary destinations.” International visitors spent more than $4 billion enjoying Australia’s food, wine and culinary experiences in 2013, with the Mornington Peninsula gaining a healthy slice of the pie. Peninsula tourism operators have also been figuring prominently on the award front, including the Enchanted Adventure Garden, which was last week named Victorian Regional Business of the Year at the 2014 Telstra Business Awards. The popular peninsula tourist attraction was the only business from the state’s tourism sector to be nominated for the prestigious awards. First opened in 1997 as a small maze and garden attraction, the Arthur’s Seat business has grown into a thriving tourist drawcard. The family owned business now offers adven-

Leading the way: Moonlit Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Park has won international acclaim for its dedication to providing the “best possible care” to its animals. The popular Pearcedale wildlife park also runs a number of conservation initiatives, including a successful breeding program for orange bellied parrots.

ture tube slides, tree surfing and live entertainment, in addition to the expanded hedge maze and gardens, and provides employed for more than 100 people. Judges said the Enchanted Adventure Gardenwas a “financially secure and soundly managed business that has invested significantly in new attractions and created a unique attraction for family enjoyment, adventure and fun”. “Its owners [Sally and Michael Savage] were committed to staff training and showed outstanding leadership and vision,” judges said in presenting the award. Also figuring prominently on the awards front is Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, which recently won Zoo and Aquarium Association accreditation and has gained international applause through the TripAdvisor website. Having won a swag of business, environmental and tourism awards over recent years, the popular wildlife park was recognised by the ZAA for meeting the highest possible standards in care and animal welfare. ZAA president Karen Fifield said the accreditation program was creating a “new standard for animal welfare”. “Being accredited means our members can be proud of providing our animals with the best possible care,” she said. Moonlit Sanctuary’s accreditation shows it is ensuring the animals in their care live in a positive welfare state. “This means the wider community can be certain that ZAA member institutions provide the best level of care for their animals, not just a minimum standard,” Ms Fifield said. The recognition follows the awarding of Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park with a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for the consistent praise heaped on it by visitors. The international website provides feedback from visitors on tourist attractions and destinations around the world. Of 83 comments posted on the TripAdvisor site for Moonlit Sanctuary, 69 rated the park “excellent”, 13 “very good”. Moonlit Sanctuary director Michael Johnson said there was no greater seal of approval than being recognised by customers. “With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence,” Mr Johnson said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Survey being performed into establishing a port at Hastings Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE usual monthly sale at Tanti will be held on Monday, August 3rd, when Messrs Alex Scott and Co. will offer cattle, sheep, lambs etc. *** WE regret to announce the serious indisposition of Mr W. Schultz, of the Pier Hotel, Frankston. Mr Schultz is at present an inmate of Dr. Stirling’s hospital, where he will undergo an operation. We wish him a speedy recovery. *** A NUMBER of Australian sympathisers with the poor of London forwarded a consignment of 270 carcasses of Australian mutton for distribution. This mutton has been distributed in the poorest districts of London. *** MUCH satisfaction is felt in Flinders and surrounding districts at the recommendation of the Railway Department to extend the Stony Point line to Red Hill. This extension will serve a good producing district and bring direct railway communication to within six miles of Flinders. *** THE residents of Westernport have for some years been advocating that use should be made of the fine depths and anchorages of that natural harbour. They want pier facilities for deepsea vessels and railway communication with arteries of traffic. While the Government takes the view that the deepening of Port Phillip will provide ample accommodation for the oversea trade of the eastern part of the State, it has gone as far as to undertake a

comprehensive survey of Westernport, with a view to the subsequent establishment of the other facilities required. This survey is now being made by the Ports and Harbours branch, and will, it is anticipated, be completed before the end of the year. *** ABOUT a fortnight ago the construction of a siding at Chelsea, on which about 30 men had been engaged, was suddenly stopped. At the local progress association meeting on Saturday night anxiety was expressed as to whether it is to be completed. The chairman (Mr James) stated that with Mr Keast, M.L.A., he had an interview with the Railway Commissioners on the matter. They were given to understand that the stoppage had taken place owing to some departmental reason, but that construction would be resumed shortly. Meanwhile it had been found necessary, in order to give a proper width of the siding, to encroach somewhat on the eastern road. As those who had brought frontages to that road had been guaranteed frontage to a 66 feet thoroughfare the Commissioners would buy from them a depth corresponding to what was taken from the road, thus maintaining its width. Fortunately little or no building had been done at that point. He understood notices to treat had been already served. *** FURTHER complaints were made at

the meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association on Saturday night as to irregular running of trains to Melbourne on the Frankston line. Owing to the late arrival in town of the 6.43am train it was said work men and others who used it found they frequently missed other trains which had to be caught in Melbourne, and in order not to be late for their engagements had to get to work by other means of transit from the city. The 6.9am, on the other hand, whatever its time of arrival in town, often left Chelsea as much as two minutes before scheduled time, with the result that passengers either missed it or sprang hurriedly into the wrong class, at the risk of being caught by the flying gang. The trains arriving at Chelsea, it was said, very often over-ran the station, and as people had to cross the lines to get to the platforms at each end, this way was very dangerous. The meeting resolved to press the Railway Commissioners to have the train services adjusted in the particulars mentioned, and also to realise the necessity of making a subway at the station. *** A DEMONSTRATION of land clearing and subsoiling by explosives will be given on the property of Mr T. Gibson, Hodgins Road, Hastings, by Mr H. E. Henshaw, representing Nobel’s Explosives Co, Ltd., on Tuesday, 28th July. *** THE work of straightening the street in front of the Mechanics’ Hall at Frankston has been put in hand, and the trees are being cut down prepara-

tory to the road being made. It is expected that the alterations and additions to the hall will be commenced shortly. *** ON Thursday evening, 16th inst., at the Clyde Hall, Mr and Mrs C. Croskell and Mr A. Croskell were the recipients of presentations from members of the tennis and football clubs and residents of the district, on the eve of their departure. The presentations consisted of a case of cutlery to Mr and Mrs C. Croskell and a travelling bag, suitably inscribed, to Mr A. Croskell. *** THE death occurred, suddenly at Mornington, on Thursday morning, of Sister Thompson. She was well known and highly respected in Mornington, and her sudden demise has caused great a sorrow in all directions. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, on Monday last, before Messrs Sherlock, Clements, and Williams, J.’s P, a case was dealt with in which John Rule claimed that goods seized from Mrs Spears in execution of a distress warrant were his, and should not have been taken. After the hearing of the evidence, the Bench held that Rule’s claim to the goods was proved, and gave a verdict accordingly. Mr Lawrence Rostron appeared for Rule, and Mr Utber for the execution creditor. *** OWING to his departure to Tynong, Cr J. D. Hodgins has been compelled to resign his position as president of the Frankston and Hastings shire. During his term as president, Cr Hodgins has filled the position ably,

and as a councillor he has always looked after the interests of his riding. The departure of Cr Hodgins and family from the district will leave a gap that will be hard to fill. Already Mr Daniel Hoban and Mr J. Watt have been mentioned as likely candidates to fill the vacancy caused by Cr Hodgins’ retirement. *** IT is with the deepest regret that I have to record the death of one of our esteemed Somerville townsmen in the person of Mr A. Edward Gault, at the age of 50 years. Death occurred at Adelaide, South Australia, where the late Mr Gault had gone to receive special care and attention in his last days, under the care of Dr Gault. Though he well knew that his days were numbered, the deceased gentleman was of a uniformly kind and genial disposition, and he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. Having resided at Somerville for the last 20 years, where he was successful as an orchardist, his removal by that grim reaper, Death, will leave a gap that will take many years to fill. He was especially prominent in church life, and was a steward of the Methodist circuit for many years, and a great deal of his time was given for that cause. We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved widow and relatives, who are left to mourn their said bereavement. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 July 1914.

State backs point development Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A PROMINENT Portsea family is behind a $100 million plan to make Point Nepean National Park “a world-class tourist destination and education precinct”. The Premier Denis Napthine was at the park’s Quarantine Station on Friday to announce government backing for the bid to develop the precinct by the Point Leisure Group. The group’s directors and Myer family members Richard and Trine Shelmerdine said their plan would “transform Point Nepean’s historic Quarantine Station in a way that shares and maintains its unique heritage and natural environment”. They predict Point Nepean will become a “world-class destination … combining its natural beauty and heritage with a high quality hotel, function and events centre, health retreat, hot spring facility, museum and a multitude of recreational, cultural and educational opportunities”. Dr Napthine said the plan includes a marine education and research precinct with the University of Melbourne; luxury and “camping style” accommodation; shops, cafes and restaurants. “The proposal is in keeping with the site’s cultural and Indigenous heritage, while delivering stringent environmental protections,” Dr Napthine said. Environment Minister Ryan Smith said the plan would secure the future of buildings with heritage and cultural significance “and are in pressing need

Walking, talking tour: After announcing development plans for the Quarantine Station precinct the Premier Denis Napthine led the official party on a short walk, from left, Point Nepean National Park ranger Victor Teogh, Mornington Peninsula mayor Antonella Celi, Professor Margaret Shiel, Nepean MP Martin Dixon, shire CEO Michael Kennedy, Premier Denis Napthine, Richard Shelmerdine, Environment Minister Ryan Smith and Trine Shelmerdine.

of maintenance”. Mr Smith said the proposal “accords with the height of existing buildings”. Three southern peninsula community groups - Nepean Ratepayers Association, Nepean Historical Society and Nepean Conservation Group – will be briefed by Mr Ryan today, Tuesday. Mr Shelmerdine says he is a “contributing member” of the Nepean Historical Society, Nepean Conservation Group and founding committee member of the Sullivan Bay Action Group. In 2011 Mr Shelmerdine was granted approval by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to subdivide The Sisters historic property in Point Nepean Rd, Sorrento. “Our family has been part of the local community for generations, and we are committed to embracing and protecting this special place,” Mr Shelmerdine said. “We feel very privileged to be part of

a project that will revitalise a place that has played such an important role in Australia’s history. This will redefine Victorian tourism and create a worldclass health and wellness destination that will inspire visitors to discover, unwind, and participate in the wonders of this area. “We see this as the beginning of the next stage of Point Nepean’s history and look forward to working closely with local community groups and the Victorian Government to make it a success for all involved.” Dr Napthine said the plan “strikes the right balance between leisure and learning activities, and maintaining the site for future generations to enjoy”. He said up to 220 jobs would be created during construction “and up to a further 390 ongoing jobs”. “This site is set to attract further investment and tourists from around the world, delivering a huge economic

boost to the Mornington Peninsula and the state’s economy,” Dr Napthine said. Mr Smith said the proposal aligns with the government’s guidelines for tourism investment in national parks and the Point Nepean National Park master plan. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the Portsea polo, craft markets and concerts will continue to be held at Point Nepean with scope for “additional tourism and investment ideas”. While providing greater public access, the plan “follows stringent guidelines that will protect and enhance the local environment, our coastline and the historic buildings on the site”, Mr Dixon said. Flinders MP and Conservation Minister Greg Hunt, who has championed several past proposals at Point Nepean, said he was “delighted that the long held community goal of marine educa-

tion at Point Nepean using the existing but empty heritage buildings is now very close”. “The proposal appears modest, sustainable and focussed on education and wellness, while also highlighting and celebrating the heritage of the old Quarantine Station buildings,” Mr Hunt said. “The old quarantine station has unique examples of grand heritage architecture, which have been restored by the Commonwealth but which have laid dormant and empty for many years. “This should now secure the heritage buildings for the coming century and guarantee their long term protection. The non-quarantine area of the park has long been protected and secured.” The proposal is open for public comment at www.depi.vic.gov.au/nepean or visit Parks Victoria’s office at Point Nepean.

A beginner’s guide to the Australian Senate By Stuart McCullough Rule 1: Get used to red. Outside of hell, nowhere has as much red as the Senate chamber. It looks like the work of the world’s laziest interior decorator. If it proves anything, it’s that sending the apprentice down to the shops to pick out a left-handed hammer can seriously backfire. The carpet is red. The walls are red. Even the desks are pretty much red. But here’s a tip – if you’re a little on the shy side and don’t want your ugly mug to appear on the news, wear red. It’ll be like you’re not even there. Granted, you’ll need to wear a red veil too, lest you should simply appear on screen as a discombobulated, floating cranium. Rule 2: The person sitting in the big chair should always be addressed as ‘President’. To put this into a party-specific perspective, no matter how great the temptation do not refer to him or her as ‘Comrade’ (ALP), ‘Your Majesty’ (Liberal), ‘Maaate’ (Nationals), ‘Imperialist Warmongering Swine’ (the Greens), ‘Gary’ (the Palmer United Party) and especially not, under any circumstances, as ‘Dude’ (Motoring Enthusiasts Party). It should always be as ‘President’. Not even ‘El Presidente’ is good enough. It may seem unnatural at first but, within the first three years of your six-year term, it’ll slip off the tongue with ease. Rule 3: The front of the building is strictly a loading and unloading zone. Don’t even bother trying to park there. Seriously. It may look

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

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

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

Rule 5: Get used to spending lots of time with people you’ve just insulted. Politics is a funny thing. One moment you’re sticking the boots into your political opponent as if he was a human Sherrin and you were trying to slot one through the goal posts from fifty metres out; next, you’re sitting next to each other in a plane or stuck on the same committee for six months. If you refer to another member of the Senate or, indeed, the Parliament, as a demented psychopath whose polices make the regime in North Korea look a little on the timid side, that’s the person you’re going to get stuck in the elevator with. When trapped in such an awkward moment, simply hold your mobile phone to you ear and have a pretend conversation. We all do it. Rule 6: Get used to being away from home. You may be representing

Victoria or Queensland or even one of the Territories, but prepare yourself to spend a lot less time there and whole lot more time here where the mornings are cold, people get excited about hamburgers available from a caravan and the local newspaper features a story about bizarre public servant workers’ compensation claims pretty much every day. Rule 7: Most rumours are exactly that, rumours. Despite what you may have heard, at 8pm on Wednesdays we do not dim the lights and pump up the tunes with the wheels of steel to turn the Chamber into a giant disco. That’s strictly Tuesdays only. Wednesdays are pot luck. Make sure you pack a casserole dish and bear in mind that the dietary restrictions of the various senators are published on the intranet. If any of you are wheat intolerant, celiac or, God forbid, vegetarian, speak now or forever hold your peace because on Fridays we do Charcoal Chicken for lunch. As for other things you may have heard, there is not a bomb shelter under Old Parliament House. The bomb shelter is under the front lawn. Should the unthinkable happen and the need arise, the code word for entry is ‘bacon’. Rule 8: Quota / schmota. t doesn’t matter if you romped it in or have arrived with a half percent mandate courtesy of a preference deal that makes quantum physics look like a game for simpletons, you’ve got a job to do. Best of luck. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The making of grandparents By Karli Duckett We seem to have hit the terrible twos earlier than expected in this house. In fact…I think the term is somewhat of a misnomer. They should call it, ‘the age of trying to “break” your parents’… and I am suspicious that it might last from toddler-hood to that time that you’re supposed to be ‘grown-up’. After a morning of more high-pitched noise pollution than any human being should have to endure, I packed our banshee into the car and raced off to refuge with his Nanna & Poppy. It is there that I found a fleeting minute of calm and clarity, along with the inspiration for this article. I had a cheeky nap there while Bubba Duck did and when I woke, I had a peek out of their open window. Looking out over their familiar backyard, a feeling of reassurance and warmth washed over me. Our perfectly imperfect family is beautiful and real, just the right balance of routine and chaos for our lucky young man to thrive in. His Nanna and Poppy allow him too much ice-cream and chocolate (that much is true), but his memories will be of racing down their staircase while clutching the beautiful old wooden handrail, deeply coloured with a rich history. He will point at photographs on their wall of his Mum and Dad, young and full of expectation and ask, “who are they?” Dinners will be had on laps on their couch

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

grandchild. At Grandma and Grandpa’s house, he can indulge in his love of exploring and running carelessly in the sun (or rain!) Their home is gradually being ‘redecorated’ with rubber ducks, a highchair, noisy toys and old relics that will intrigue our son as he grows and enjoys more independence. Grandpa has a tractor and a huge shed filled with curios that a little boy with busy hands will investigate with the intense concentration of a scientist trying to prove a hypothesis. Grandma has a warm and soft lap …. forever waiting for those rare moments when a little bottom sits still long enough to enjoy a cuddle. She sings animated songs and loves our child as much as she does her own two grown children …. possibly more! Observing our son’s grandparents weaving into his colourful life has given me as much joy as the day he entered our world. It has also served as a poignant reminder to be kinder to my own parents. No-one can prepare you for what it will truly be like when you become a parent and there is no manual guiding you how to do the job perfectly. Sacrifice becomes a regular action as you care for the little life you are responsible for. We are all fallible and uncertain, and just trying to do the best job we can. And it is immensely comforting to know that on the days we struggle to do that well, the parents that have ‘been there, and done that’ are

right behind us ready to do it all again! Mumma Duck Says is a place where life and food gets in the way! A place for Karli to share her cooking, motherhood and creative journey with friends. You can follow her via Mumma Duck Says on Facebook or visit her blog at www. mummaduckblog.wordpress.com

Season over for Pythons PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt PINES season is over after it was overrun by Mt Eliza in Peninsula League football on Saturday. Although the Pythons percentage was not at a competitive level in comparison to the teams above it on the ladder, enough wins would have given them every opportunity to make the final five. However, the loss means that Pines is no longer a chance to play finals in 2014. They did go down with a mighty fight though. The more naturally gifted Redlegs went into the match as favourites but were forced to work for the four points. The home side led by nine points at the final change but with the aid of the wind the Redlegs were able to kick four goals to a single behind in the last quarter to win 12.5 (77) to 9.8 (62). Darren Booth and Sam Gill were outstanding for the Redlegs while John Meesen was a key contributor in the ruck. Guy Hendry booted four goals for the Pythons while 18-year-old Pat Jackson played his best senior game. Pat follows in the footsteps of his brilliant father and uncle, Stella and Robbie Jackson, in the Python pit. Chris Guganovic was also dominant through the middle of the ground for the Pythons. Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico declared the second half against Chelsea on Saturday was the best brand of footy his side has played all season. With a side that is now almost at full strength, Artico said his team’s style in the second half highlighted that his charges were starting to “get the message”. “There is a lot of talent in this team but if they are not playing the style of footy that we want, talent isn’t going to get us the four points,” Artico said. “I thought we were OK in the first half, but once again inaccuracy in front of goal cost us a decent lead. “It was good to hit the scoreboard in the second half and record a really solid win.” The Kangaroos won the game 17.15 (117) to 7.5 (47). Sean Herdman, Matt Dimkos and

Beau Muston all booted four goals each for the Kangas while Ash Fenech was brought back into the side for his defensive pressure and was rewarded with two goals. Matt Baxter booted three goals for the Gulls and was one of his team’s best, while Jason Clark was also a fine contributor. Frankston YCW flexed its muscles and proved that it is the side to beat for the 2014 premiership after knocking over Bonbeach by nearly six goals. David Bodley put on a footy clinic for the Stonecats, booting seven goals in a best on ground display. It was a massive day for the club with Ben Tellis playing his 250th game, Tony Lester his 200th and Anthony Barry his 150th. The three genuine stars of the competition celebrated in style. The Stonecats not only hit the scoreboard but they also restricted the opposition to just three goals in the first half of the match. That’s where the game was won. Byron Barry and Kyle Hutchison dominated in the 14.9 (93) to 9.4 (58) victory. Dylan Jones was superb in the ruck for the Sharks while Mark Tyrrell and Paul Rebeschini were also tireless in their efforts. Mornington was forced to work hard to get the four points against Seaford. The Doggies trailed at half time and held just a three point lead at the final change. However, the likes of Barry Smeeton and Emilio Bitters stepped up to the plate when the game needed to be won in the final term and with Adrian Speedy booting three goals, the Dogs went on to record a 14.11 (95) to 10.17 (77) victory. The Tigers booted 4.7 in the second half, which really did have an impact on the final result. Josh Stokes was the best of the Tigers. Edithvale Aspendale gave Karingal a hiding, winning 23.22 (160) to 4.4 (28). Brad Tagg booted six goals and Matt Kremmer four for the Eagles while Craig Wray and Zac Muschialli dominated. Hadley Tomamichael, Tom Wilkinson and Michael Burke were the best of the Bulls.

Nepean hots right up, Rye play to potential NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt WHAT a sensational round of football in Nepean League on Saturday. At the end of it, Crib Point was sitting pretty on top of the ladder, a game clear of Dromana, Sorrento and Red Hill. Rosebud kept its season alive with a good victory over Hastings, while Sorrento moved into the top three for the first time this season with a win against Red Hill. Dromana lost its second game on the trot on Saturday, beaten by Rye, who are now starting to find a bit of form. With fifth spot still wide open, the sides fighting for it really needed to grab hold of the opportunity. Rye certainly did that, as did Rosebud, while Hastings failed to grab its opportunity. Many believe in the competition that Rye is one of the best three sides in the league, on paper that is… On Saturday, it matched its potential with its performance on the field where it matters, especially after quarter time. The Tigers jumped out of the blocks and within a blink of an eye, the quarter time siren had sounded and Rye found themselves 33 points down at the change. Rye worked back into the game in the second quarter with an eight goal to two burst to grab a 3-point lead at the halfway mark of the match. The third quarter was pretty even and the game was anyone’s at the final change. The Demons got out to a 19-point lead in the last quarter before the Tigers came back to get within seven points. The Demons steadied and pushed the margin back out to 13 before Dromana surged again. With just two minutes left on the clock, the Tigers had reduced the margin back to a goal. That was the final margin, Rye winning 16.8 (104) to 15.8 (98). Andrew Dean was superb for the Demons, booting six goals, while Ben Holmes dominated across half forward with four majors. The performance of these two

proved that they both need to play forward. Aaron Findlay shared the ruck duties with Rhett Sutton and Chris Gleeson played higher up the field, rather than being a stay at home full forward. Ryan Semmel was dominant once again for the Demons while Jai Lloyd was simply superb, shutting down the dangerous Anthony Bruhn. The Tigers went into the game without Steven Gaertner and Ash Waterstone. They were far from full strength. However, word is Gaertner’s performances generally have been well below par and he has a lot of improving to do. Jay Neratzoglou was able to play a different kind of role and that netted a couple of goals for him, while Christian Ongarello was also very good over four quarters. The Rye win really does show that the premiership race is wide open in Nepean League. Sorrento celebrated its 1964 and

2004 Premiership Reunions with a hard fought victory over Red Hill. Star forward Leigh Poholke has taken his game to a new level this season and his seven goals on Saturday was the difference between his side winning and losing. Poholke’s seven goals did come at a cost. He was reported in the second quarter by the goal umpire. He spent 15 minutes on the sidelines but Red Hill couldn’t capitalise. They missed easy opportunities in front of goal and then gave away two 50 metre penalties that resulted in Sorrento goals, their only two majors of the quarter. Instead of going into the half time break in front, the Hillmen were seven points down. The final margin was just 10 points, the Sharks winning 12.14 (86) to 11.10 (76). Michael Dillion, Jimmy McCall and Jarryd Douglas with four goals were the best of the Hillmen, while Poholke was the stand out player for the Sharks.

Ryan Jeffrey also worked hard for the winners, as did Matt Dobrowalski, Johnny Casper and Daniel Grant. Rosebud is still in finals contention after hanging on to beat Hastings by 10 points. The Buds booted only 20 points last week against Rye but accuracy in front of goal this week ensured victory. The Buds won the match 12.6 (78) to 9.14 (68). Rosebud set up the win with a seven goal to two second quarter, giving them a 19-point buffer at the major interval. Once again, Hastings let themselves down with one poor quarter of footy. It was an arm wrestle after half time and Hastings had plenty of chances but they just couldn’t get the job done. Keegan Downie was a welcome addition for the Buds with four goals, while Tom Baker was also superb with four majors. Ben Dwyer also dominated, along with Chris Dew and Brenton Payne. Steven Robb was once again

Hastings’ best, along with Kain and Taylor Stratton, who have been outstanding this season for the Blues. At three quarter time in the match between Somerville and Crib Point, it looked like the Eagles were going to cause the boilover of the season. They led by 28 points at the main change. However, 30 minutes later, the Magpies had booted seven goals to two to snatch victory by a goal. It was the third time this season that the Pies had won by a goal or less. Jon Flack with six goals was the difference between the sides. He was superb. Paul Smith and Luke Herrington each booted two goals for the Pies and their contribution to the win was significant. David Hirst booted four for the Eagles and Adrian Ridout was back and he booted three majors. Cal Dixon, Jedd Sutton and Leigh Stewart were the best performers for the Eagles. 16-year-old James Doria made his senior debut for Devon Meadows against Tyabb on Saturday and booted a goal with his first kick. James also went on to boot a further two majors for the match. It was the first time that the three Doria brothers, James, Alex and Chris (pictured) had played footy together. You get the feeling it won’t be the last! The Panthers were far too strong for the Yabbies, as expected, winning 20.18 (138) to 6.6 (42). James Bow booted eight for the winners while big name players Stef Baumgartner, Billy Hayes, Cal O’Hare and Brian Wapshott were at their best. Jake Anderson was once again Tyabb’s best, also booting two goals. Frankston Bombers enjoyed another victory, this time getting the job done over Pearcedale, 15.12 (122) to 5.7 (37). Duncan Proud was superb and arguably the best man on the ground for the Bombers with three goals while James Degenhardt was also dominant. Corey Macari also played his best game of senior football. Chris Fortnam booted four goals for the Dales and was comfortably his team’s best player.

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