POLICE arrested the leaders of a Christian group who staged a sit-in protest last Wednesday at the Hastings electorate office of Flinders Liberal MP Greg Hunt.

A Christian coalition of Uniting Church, Baptist Church, Church of Christ and Peninsula City Church members grouped under the Love Makes A Way banner turned up unannounced at Mr Hunt’s electorate office at 11am last Wednesday (6 May) to protest against the federal government’s asylum seekers policies.

Love Makes A Way describes itself as “a movement of Christians seeking an end to Australia’s inhumane asylum seeker policies through prayer and nonviolent love in action�.

Group members were detained in May last year after staging a sit-in prayer meeting and vigil at Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s office in Sydney.

A similar protest by a group of Christian priests and nuns was held at Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten’s office at the same time as the sit-in at Mr Abbott’s electorate office.

Staff at Mr Hunt’s office called police at about midday last Wednesday after protesters refused to leave until Mr Hunt backed a call for the Abbott government “to release all children� from the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres.

Shortly before seven Christian leaders who had refused to leave the Hastings premises were arrested at 5.40pm later in the day, the Federal Environment Minister released a statement criticising the protesters.

Mr Hunt questioned why Love Makes A Way members did not mention people smuggling in Europe when speaking to him about children detained at Nauru and Manus Island detention centres. “I am surprised they didn’t make an appointment with me and chose to arrive on a day I wasn’t in the office,� he said in the statement.

“I am also surprised they have not raised the recent issue of deaths at sea in Europe caused by people smuggling.�

Immigration Department figures show there are 227 children held in offshore detention centres. “The Love Makes a Way protest group is welcome to make a formal appointment to meet with me at any time,� Mr Hunt said. “I respect their views and their right to a peaceful protest. I have spoken with them about their concerns over the phone.�

About 20 Love Makes A Way members had also maintained a vigil outside the Hastings office while the sit-in took place.

Mr Hunt stood by the Abbott government’s treatment of asylum seekers. “Under the previous government, we saw the fastest increase of people in detention. Since the Coalition came into government we have seen the fastest decline of people in detention and we are working to reduce that to zero. “Today I have spoken to the Prime Minister’s senior adviser on national security issues and have relayed the Love Makes A Way group’s request for a moratorium on any further transfers of asylum seekers to Naru or Manus Island and the immediate release of all children into the community on the mainland. “I have also spoken to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who again reiterated that we have seen a 90 per cent decrease in people in detention since the Coalition came into government.

He said he will not rest until all children are released from detention.�

Mr Hunt echoed Mr Dutton’s view in his statement. “As a cabinet minister, I have committed that the government will reduce the number of children in detention and will not stop until there are no children in detention,� Mr Hunt said.

Barber stays at the cutting edge Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RYE barber Jeff Glaum didn’t plan on staying “too long” when he bought the Pt Nepean Rd hairdressing business in 1980, but last week was celebrating his 35th year of wielding the scissors and clippers.

The 55-year-old, left, who was born at the old Dromana hospital and attended Rosebud Primary School and Dromana Tech, even did his apprenticeship at the same shop before taking over.

“I’ve enjoyed it, yes,” he said last week. “At the time I thought maybe I would stay four or five years and then do something else. But the time just went by and I have no idea where it went.”

With no plans for retirement he says he will “be here a while yet.”

Such length of service leads to some amusing situations: “The other

ACE volunteers still there after decade VOLUNTEERS at Peninsula Health’s Assistance and Care in Emergency program (ACE) are celebrating a decade of providing support to patients and families during what is always a difficult time – a trip to the emergency department.

A volunteers’ appreciation lunch was held last week as a part of National Volunteers Week.

About 750 volunteers assist at Peninsula Health - with 100 in the ACE program.

“Volunteers come from different walks of life but they all share the common goal of wanting to help others,” Peninsula Health volunteer program manager Helen Wilson said.

“It can be really amazing because you get all sorts of people, young and old, working together and developing strong friendships.”

Nursing student Meg Ridley, 20, had no idea about the ACE program until she walked into Frankston Hospital’s emergency department and asked a nurse how she could help.

“It’s been even more rewarding than I expected,” she said.

“I’m younger than most of the other volunteers but the ladies at Frankston are so much fun. We often go out for lunch together.

Work its own reward: Volunteers Dilys Yap and Meg Ridley assist a bed-ridden Laurence Jenny at Rosebud Hospital.

Picture: Yanni

“Supporting people in serious cases can be really hard, but half the time it’s as simple as just being there for them. Lots of parents appreciate our help too; they can have a quick toilet break or move the car while we play with the kids.

“As a nursing student who’s worked in Emergency before, I know how busy emergency staff are. I know they would love to provide that extra support but it’s just not possible, that’s

why ACE is so important.”

Retiree Dilys Yap has been an ACE volunteer at Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department since the program launched. “I saw an ad in the paper for volunteers and thought I’d give it a go,” he said. “When I first came on I wondered what on earth I would do.

“On one of my first shifts I went over to a couple who seemed very distressed and, after a brief chat, found out the husband was worried because

he’d left the heater on at home. I promised to stay with his sick wife while he went to turn it off.

“We had a long, calm chat and when the nurse came to check her blood pressure it had gone from very high to normal. I knew then that what I was doing was important.

“People sometimes say we should be getting paid but I don’t think they get it, our work is its own reward.”

day I was cutting a 91 year old’s hair when his son came in – he’s 62 – and then his son came in – he’s about 35.

They all wanted haircuts, just as they have had over the years.

“I was looking at the grandson and thinking: ‘I remember when you were about 10’.”

Mr Glaum has served thousands of customers over the years, and says he is noticing a much younger demographic now.

“In the 1980s I reckon 70 per cent of the residents were retired – now it’s about 50 per cent,” he said.

“There are lot of schoolkids around now.”

And that’s led to a revised barber customer relationship: “Years ago the kids would get what mum and dad told them, but now they tell me what they want.”

The youngsters wear wax and jell in their locks, whereas years ago it was combed and much neater. “As soon as it’s cut and neat and tidy they tell me to mess it up,” he said. “And many are even asking for Brylcreem.”

Surrounded by four very familiar walls, Mr Glaum has had the same landlord for 34 years and was without a lease for the first 28 years. “We just had a handshake then.”

The biggest change in the shopping centre, he says, is the rising number of cafes. “They’re everywhere.”

As a surprise, wife Leanne and daughter Kirsty, also a hairdresser, decorated the shop with balloons, streamers and a few drinks to celebrate Friday’s milestone. “We had a few drinks and a lot of regulars dropped in – many who have been coming in for the whole 35 years and are retired.

“I thought: ‘Crikey, what’s going on here’?

“One customer thought it was to celebrate [Collingwood coach] Mick Malthouse’s 715 game milestone. But I put him straight.”

The flag flies for all THE rainbow flag will be raised at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s three offices on Friday 15 May to recognise Sunday’s IDAHOT Day. The International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia started in 2004 to draw attention to the violence and discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex people internationally.

Expo gives students inside view of jobs JOBS and careers of all sorts were the focus of last week’s Frankston Mornington Peninsula Careers and Jobs Expo at Mornington Racecourse.

The event was designed to help the students and school leavers make informed decisions on their futures. It showed them what jobs were on offer, what skills and abilities were required, and how they should go about getting into them.

Expert information and advice is regarded as the most important thing when planning young peoples’ careers - or a career changes. The event’s focus on interactivity saw many hands-on activities offered, including a tyre change pit-stop challenge, fitness tutorials, barista workshop, brick laying, building and plumbing. Hands-on demonstrations and ‘Try a trade’ stalls were put on by some of the 80 exhibitors.

Experts from Chisholm Tafe, Monash and Deakin universities, Peninsula Health, Australian Institute of Personal Training, and Department of Health and Human Services were represented.

This was the first year Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston City Council have co presented a joint careers expo.

Underground hot-water pool awaits drill rigs Gases associated with generation of electricity used by the shire is next, at 20 per cent. The remaining four per cent represents emissions related to water, gas and the shire vehicle fleet.

As well as saving money, key benefits of achieving carbon neutrality include reducing the local impact on climate change and becoming a member of the Carbon Neutral Network, enabling shire participation in global forums and networks.

Only two Victorian councils – Yarra and Moreland – are accredited as carbon neutral. The shire is among 22 aiming to become accredited. It began a program to reduce green house emissions in 2001, adopting an Energy Action Plan in 2005 that set an emissions target that was achieved by 2007, the report states, by installing solar, buying Greenpower for street lighting and upgrading some shire buildings.

Happily, some measures taken have had a double benefit. An upgrade to lighting at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery also cut air conditioning costs: the LED globes don’t run as hot as the halogen globes they replaced, and produce better light into the bargain. Upgrading street lights will be a focus of the carbon neutral plan, along with using Greenpower for all all shire buildings.

The plan will also “maximise localised renewable energy for shire buildings”, with solar panels or geothermal

for new buildings and solar panels retrofitted to existing buildings. Eightynine buildings have been deemed suitable for retrofitting.

Finally, carbon offsets will be bought, to cancel out, or “abate”, remaining emissions.

For some businesses and individuals, abatement can be achieved by growing trees and other foliage crops, which soak up carbon. Or, in the case of livestock, offsets must be bought to neutralise methane emanating from animal manure and produced “as part of [animals’] normal digestive process”, as the US Environment Protection Agency delicately puts it.

The peninsula is also well served by further carbon sinks, known collectively as “blue carbon”. They comprise such coastal and marine – “blue” – features as saltmarshes, mangroves and seagrasses.

In a recent lecture, ecologist Dr Paul Carnell of Deakin University said these have a far higher ability to capture and permanently store carbon than forests and offer a valuable resource as offsets for polluting industries.

The lecture was attended by David Gill, president of the Balnarring Beach Community Association. He noted that Dr Carnell pointed to Port Phillip, Lang Lang and Western Port / Yaringa Marine National Park near Hastings as “hot spots” for carbon capture.

This was because saltmarshes, sea-

grass and mangroves are relatively healthy despite dredging, development and run off from drains. They mop up plant structure with sediment: retention is permanent because the sediment continues to rise unless disturbed by humans.

Dr Carnell told the audience that the anoxic (oxygen depleted) conditions in mud favour carbon retention. Expansion of coastal vegetation in places such as Western Port adds to that stock and will be studied in future experimental plots.

Finally, the shire report returns to the potential for geothermal energy.

Research is recommended, including studying existing data on rock fractures in the fault areas that lie under the peninsula; aerial magnetic imaging; and ground-level surveys to locate fracture systems with more accuracy.

Preliminary test bores should be the next step, followed by more intensive bores “should the project progress to this stage”, the report recommends.

The result could be the seasonally cosy-cum-cool home of the future, described earlier, courtesy of the shire’s hard-headed approach to, as CEO Carl Cowie puts it, “unlock[ing] maximum value for the community” from factors including “enhanced technology solutions”.

Geothermal is still a vision. The hot underground water waits to be unlocked.

IMAGINE a chilly May day such as the peninsula has been enduring, a decade or two into the future. The rain is, as now, hammering on roof and windows: the wind is keening through the trees. But you are snug, heater on day and night, with no great concern about the cost.

Your home has been retrofitted to deliver never-ending geothermal heating, with power bills far below what you would incur for gas and electricity. In summer a cooling liquid is fed to your house via the same pipes.

How will this be achieved?

Peninsula dwellers live above a giant hot water resource, captured in fractured rock, waiting to be piped to the surface as it is at the tourist attraction Peninsula Hot Springs. The water could provide cheap heating for homes, factories, shops – swimming pools that now cost a fortune to heat with gas – and any other building that requires heating and cooling.

The water can be piped to buildings half a kilometre from the bore, according to geothermal experts. And the heat can be used to create cool air for summer. After initial infrastructure costs, these benefits can be relatively inexpensive. The hot water is endless, as in thermal zones such as exist in New Zealand and Iceland.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council took its initial step in this direction last November when councillors voted to commit to a carbon-neutral future.

Starting with sensible but unspectacular steps including more energy-efficient street lighting and better control of methane emissions from Rye tip, the shire will cut its carbon footprint to the practical minimum and buy carbon credits to offset the rest. The hot water comes later but work has already started.

The shire aims to become Australia’s first local government district with a landfill to become carbon neutral, and one of the first to achieve this goal, despite the Rye tip landfill emissions.

The strategy is set out in a 73-page report to councillors, ̔Carbon Neutral Options’, which states that becoming carbon neutral “proves to be a sound investment in long term financial savings”.

The target date is 2020. According to the report, it will require a $15.5 million investment in more efficient LED street lights and solar panels, as well as other measures – continuing to make shire buildings more energy-efficient and buying carbon offsets.

The savings from this would be realised by 2026-27, councillors are told.

Where do shire greenhouse gas emissions come from?

Well over 70 per cent is from two sources – methane from landfill (48 per cent) and street lighting (28 per cent).

Gallipoli trip ‘honour’ for Anzac’s nephew Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DROMANA Secondary College student Kobi Watson had “the most amazing time” at the Gallipoli centenary commemorations in Turkey last month.

The Year 9 student was the only Mornington Peninsula student among 80 from Victoria chosen to attend the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove.

This followed his keynote speech at the Hastings sub-branch’s memorial service at the cenotaph on Remembrance Day in November.

Flying to Turkey on the nine-day tour, Kobi and the group visited the Topkapi Palace museum, Blue Mosque, cruised the Bosphorus river and toured the underground Yerebatan Cistern. “We saw all the sites as planned,” he said. “We went to the Helles Memorial and even had time to explore some of the trenches.”

The Dawn Service was the highlight of the trip.

Kobi – who lives at Balnarring - has a personal link to the conflict. His grandfather Horace Clyde Martyr, 8th battalion, AIF, was the first decorated soldier at the landings and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for gallantry at Anzac Cove, where he was also wounded.

“I feel honoured at being given this opportunity to keep the ANZAC Spirit alive, and to also share and educate

my generation about the camaraderie and horrific sacrifices made by our men and women through the Gallipoli campaign,” he said last week.

“Since coming back I have had time to reflect on my experiences. The first few hours sitting on the plane and getting to know the other 80 students was fun, however, remembering all their names was a problem! We spent the first few days around Istanbul on a guided tour of the all the amazing sights. During this time I carried around with me a sense of dignity and never lost sight of the real reason why I was there.

“For me, this was more than a school excursion as I have the Anzac connection in my blood. I felt saddened at the horrific sacrifices and extraordinary challenges not only my grandfather faced, but the Aussies, English, Turkish, New Zealanders, French and Canadians, when they landed on these beaches.

“It is hard to imagine that a beautiful and tranquil landscape was the scene of such a long, brutal and barbaric battle.

“During the Dawn Service our group stood a fair way back behind a sea of people. But, in reality, those in front represented every life tragically lost at Gallipoli.

“There was a sense of sadness, however, as many students didn't fully understand the monstrosity of what had taken place in this war.”

Gallipoli tribute: Kobi Watson displays his grandfather’s medals.

Picture: Yanni

Kobi said that, being 15, “it could have been me 100 years ago”.

“These young boys signed up for an adventure and took the opportunity to see the world - much the same reason as I applied for this trip. They were faced with the harsh reality of war...

‘To kill or be killed’, to live in appalling conditions and endure extreme terror, fatigue, starvation and illness.

I am just grateful that I wasn't one of those young boys.

“I feel privileged to have taken part in what will, undoubtedly, be one of

the biggest memorial events of the 21st century. It was a wonderful opportunity to represent my grandfather, and all the other Anzacs that landed on that beach, and to fully understand and appreciate the horrific sacrifices they made for me.”

DARTH Vader, Chewbacca and Obi Wan Kenobi observed a temporary truce and put aside galaxy conquest for a few hours last week to help raise money for the Starlight Children's Foundation.

The three Star Wars favourites entertained outside EB Games at Rosebud Plaza.

The foundation says it brightens the lives of seriously ill children and their families by replacing pain, fear and stress with fun, joy and laughter.

Since 1988 it has expanded to become one of the

best known children’s charities in Australia.

A Starlight Express Room is in every children’s hospital in the country and there are more than 100 Captain Starlights nationwide. Construction of several Starlight Express Rooms and refurbishment of existing rooms is under way.

Starlight’s hospital programs support sick kids regardless of illness, injury or age. Last year, they helped grant 496 life-changing wishes and supported more than 145,000 sick kids and their families. See starlight.org.au

“He definitely has a heart for resolving this issue … we’re keen to see a moratorium on any further children being moved to Manus or Nauru but he couldn’t do that. The Reverend said he appreciated Mr Hunt’s efforts to speak to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton on the group’s behalf.

He praised police officers’ handling of the situation both before and after the arrests.

Those arrested were not detained by police and were charged with trespass offences. “[An officer] made the comment that

we were probably the friendliest protesters that he had ever dealt with,” Mr McAdam said.

The Reverend was less impressed with Mr Hunt’s comment about the group not mentioning deaths at sea in Europe.

“We would be deeply concerned about people drowning at sea, whether that’s in Australia or Italy, and as a world community we’ve got to find a way for people to move between countries, especially those that are under threat.

“We note the Italian government is rescuing rather than driving [boats] back so I refute that we don’t have any concern about that at all – that’s just rubbish.”

A spokeswoman for Mr Hunt said the minister mentioned the deaths at sea in Europe because “he feels very strongly about the deaths that occurred at sea here and the result of not detaining people here will entice people smugglers

to bring boats to Australia … he would rather have no lives lost at sea.”

Senior Sergeant Steve McRae said police “did everything we did to prevent them being arrested and advised them several times in relation to consequences of standing in the foyer.”

“We waited it out until about 5.30pm at night and gave them an ultimatum.

The officer manager then revoked their licence to be there,” Sen Sgt McRae said.

“Apart from the fact they actually didn’t move when we asked them to they were very cooperative. Nobody was injured during the protest.”

He said the protesters “were prepared to be arrested for the cause”.

Seven police officers were on site to deal with the situation.

The protesters – six men and one women – could appear in court at a date yet to be fixed.

The beat goes on: John Wells has defied the odds to survive throat cancer and is back on the road starring in tribute shows to Roy Orbison and The Eagles.

Pic: Gary Sissons

The shows must go on THE Big O has survived the Big C. Entertainerat-large John Wells, who regularly performs at venues around the peninsula as Roy Orbison in a tribute show, was stopped in his tracks by a throat cancer diagnosis four years ago.

The singer, guitarist and drummer said when he was told he was not expected to live more than three months when diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer.

“I was told I’d never sing again … and I’ve kind of beaten the odds a bit.”

After spending about a year recuperating after surgery, radiotherapy and chemo Wells decided to get back on the road part-time and team up again with his Drawcard Entertainment cofounder Norbert Graetzer.

Wells, a non-smoker, thinks passive smoking from the years playing pubs and clubs may be to blame for his throat cancer and is glad smoking in enclosed venues is now banned.

“We didn’t know any different back then,” he said.

Wells said the first troubling sign something

was amiss came when a sore throat was followed about four months later by a lump forming on his neck.

“They took the cancer out … it was right on my vocal chords.”

The 50-year-old Chelsea resident praised staff at The Alfred for their “amazing” work.

In recent months Wells has been in and out of hospital due to a recurring Golden Staph infection.

“I’ve lost the use of one of my hands but I’m one of the lucky ones,” he said.

Wells is focused on extending his three decades and counting career in the entertainment business.

“Everything that Drawcard does raises money for somebody. We’re all about helping others.

It’s pretty rewarding.”

John Wells will perform at The Australian Eagles and Little River Band Tribute Show at Longbeach RSL, Chelsea on Friday 15 May. See drawcardentertainment.com.au for details.

The McKinsey Global Institute this month released the third in a series of reports on global debt leverage in the wake of the global financial crisis (GFC). The Debt and (not much) deleveraging report found that “Australia is one of seven countries that have household debt that may be unsustainable”.

According to research by Barclays, which warns that the Australia would be vulnerable in the event of another global financial shock: “Australian households are the most indebted in the world and when it comes to household debt - which includes mortgages, credit cards, overdrafts and personal loans - Australia leads the global field with credit continuing to pile up while the rest of the developed world is paying it down.”

David Skutenko from the Australian Bureau of Statistics says debt leveraging is not just high in historical terms, but by global standards, our debt burden is among the highest in the developed world: "We often compare household debt with household disposable income and, at the moment in Australia in 2013, it was 1.8 times household disposable income. In comparison to the G7 countries such as the United States - 1.1 times household disposable income. The UK 1.5 times disposable income."

These just three of the many consistent comments experts are making relative to the level of personal debt in Australia and the likely end-result.

Then we have [Treasurer] Joe Hockey saying exactly the opposite: “I say to the Australian people directly, now is the time to borrow and invest. Whether you be a household or a small business now is the time to have a go …”

Yes, go out and borrow more and leverage yourselves more and then when interest rates go up to 6 per cent (which they will) we can revel in a worst economic meltdown than the US during the GFC that they created as people borrowed more than they could pay back.

In our case it will not be a GFC that will put us into a severe rescission, it will be the inevitable raising of interest rates and the corresponding bankruptcies and flood of foreclosed houses on the market (just like in the US).

By all means charge those credit cards up if you have any balance left so you can pay it off at 20 per cent interest. Load up … interest rates have never been lower. And why not, our federal Treasurer has told us to borrow, borrow, borrow.

Thankfully that we have some councillors that have the sense to not allow Mornington Peninsula Shire to fall into this fraudulent thinking.

There were strong arguments made in a recent council meeting to borrow, borrow, borrow, as money will never cheaper than it is today. However, being as the borrowing is at flexible interest rates based on the market, it would only be a little short-term gain for lots of long-term pain.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Swami’s compassion I read with interest your recurring accounts of events at the Ashram in Mt Eliza and the vilification of Swami Shankanandra.

I have only seen him being supportive and compassionate towards people in need and other friends outside of the ashram.

Fair minded people will read into this that

he has not been found guilty by law and that the perpetrators of the action against him had previously been willingly engaged in activities as persons above the age of consent and some married.

A successful action would likely bring about a resolution of the substantial real estate owned by the swamaji (‘Yoga school to be wound up’, The News 5/5/15).

This is what can happen when greed is an even greater motivation than perceived sexual needs or karma.

Anthony Nicholl, Mt Eliza

Priority change Was it sorting out corruption in the Education Department that kept the ex-Education Minister [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon so busy that he was unable to get involved with the environmental problems such as dogs on leashes, hooded plovers and submissions regarding the Central Coast region until after his side lost government?

Speaking of losing, Mr Dixon should perhaps watch his back, for there is a rumour that a local councillor could be eyeing off his spot come next election.

John Cain, McCrae

Appeal demolition It is with great sadness and disbelief that I see the Mornington Peninsula Shire is to allow another amazing house to be pulled down in Mornington. I am writing about 1 Barkly St. It is one of a very few, if not the only one of its type, left in Mornington. It was recently renovated at substantial cost by the previous owners.

I believe the sale of this property late last year was in excess of $1 million.

Why does our council not protect these special buildings? I emailed the mayor [Cr Bev Colomb] but got no response. I am not surprised as it seems it is all too hard to beat the developers.

Or is it that the council likes the prospect of getting more rates, after all, if this development goes ahead it will get double the rates It is now receiving.

Soon, the township will be only similar looking two-storey townhouses, losing the charm that so many of us older residents remember.

If you care about what is happening contact your councillors now.

Denise Hassett, Mt. Martha

Overshadowed We submitted objections to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council regarding the height of a two storey development to be constructed behind us.

However, were totally ignored.

Concerned over shadow length impacting on solar panels and following several unanswered phone messages, it took a letter to the CEO to finally organise a meeting with the statutory planner. We learned that the predicted shadow length was submitted by the developer and accepted by council which “does not have the equipment to measure the shadow”.

The existing fence shadow indicates that the predicted shadow is totally inaccurate on the plan.

We were advised to go to VCAT if not happy, but first to contact a private town planner and even a solicitor “to be sure of our facts”.

The war memorial at the corner of Point Leo and Shoreham roads was completed in time for this year’s Anzac Day ceremony, the first to be held there for 30 years.

However, the cost of the memorial – five steel columns with bronze plaques – from a $6000 grant from the federal government and loans from private citizens.

The association hopes to raise $55,000 from the mail out.

Flushed with their own success [members of] this group are now watching every resident in Mt Eliza.

Not only do they want to re-educate residents into planting only native vegetation but also this vegetation must now be a local variety.

Such is life in Mt Eliza where all are welcomed unless you dare to have different views to this minority group of watchdogs.

Does this remind you of something?

WHAT’S NEW...

Wood Turning Magic 2015

Wood Turning Magic 2015 WOOD Turning Magic 2015 is a competition & exhibition of wood turning of the Peninsula Woodturners Guild; the magic of course is the talent of these turners in producing something wonderful from an uninteresting looking piece of wood.

The Guild can be found at the McClelland Gallery Sculpture Park and at present the membership is just over two hundred members.

They have a very modern and up to date workshop, thirteen wood lathes, a couple of bandsaws, a drill press and a tool sharpening machine.

The turners provide their own woodturning chisels and sundry small tools, some of which they have modified out of other tools that they have made to suit their work.

Classes are held twelve times a week both day and evening, so even if you are still working, there is a class you could attend. The classes have both men and women turners and some of the ladies have proven their talents by winning national awards for their work.

There are several different types of woodturning, there is what you might call the more common items you expect of turned timber such as bowls and platters and pens and useful items, another type is segmented turning, where small pieces are cut to strict precision measurements, glued together and then turned on the lathe into items of both beauty and skill. Another form of turning is ornamental turning; the name alone gives one the idea of what it is all about but one is truly amazed at the intricacies that these turners produce. The segmented and the ornamental turners each have their own group sessions, Segmented meet together for discussions on the 2nd Monday monthly and the ornamental turners meet on the 1st Friday monthly. At these group discussions they talk about what they have been working on and any problems they be encountering.

Besides the turning workshop, the Guild also has a studio where each Wednesday afternoon they hold a meeting from 1.00pm to 3.00pm. On

Woodturning Competition & Exhibition a Wednesday morning there is a computer group meeting and in this group members can bring queries or new programs for discussion and problem solving.

The Guild is also very lucky in the type of membership it attracts. Some members are highly trained in various fields, one being audio work. Each Wednesday afternoon meeting there is a demonstration of turning, show and tell of work being completed and this work is examined for comment. Because of the audio technology and machinery available each meeting and demonstration is able to be recorded to disc and put in the Library for borrowing by the members.

Like all clubs, associations operating money is always at a premium. There is always a charity section everywhere the Guild attend, they are an authorised fund raiser for “Kids With Cancer” Like every workshop it must be kept up to date and so at present the Guild is trying to raise money to improve their dust extractor system so they would like to see many, many visitors to Wood Turning Magic 2015 to help raise as much money as they can, but you will be impressed by the display that you will see. Some items will be for sale so make your Christmas lists early and go shopping.

Charlene is as good as Charlotte ROYAL events register high on the Richter Scale at Emu Ruo, and the birth of Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, latest offspring of future King Wills and Queen Kate, reverberates still.

The bunting is up at the fence, the Union flag is aloft at the gate and the congratulatory telegram has been sent.

“Of course I put your name on the telegram!” booms the Blushing Bride.

“You’re still a royalist, I trust.” She looks keenly at the cowering spouse and glowers. The cower-glower is a regular Emu interaction.

Emu has had great difficulty not keeping up with the royal news. Since Princess Mary of Hobart and Denmark and her spouse, the placid heir to the Danish crown, ceased breeding, all eyes have been on the big house at the top of the Mall, SW1A, and the procreative activities of the Queen’s grandson.

Every word of rumour, speculation, outright fabrication and informed source that has appeared in the London red tops (as the cheap British gutter press are known) has been ingested and digested since 29 April 2011, when the couple wed in Westminster Abbey. Mrs Emu has chafed at the time they took to reproduce.

Now we have a sister to George Alexander Louis, the firstborn and fourth in line to the throne. George was born on 22 July 2013. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana arrived on 2 May last, sending Mrs Emu positively soppy – with just one quibble.

“They could have added Sydney to the bub’s names, to acknowledge Australia,” she said as she added the details on to her Royal family tree on

the back of the kitchen door. “Wills did say he regarded us as a beacon of hope when they were here. And little George did adore bilbies, his Dad said, because it was easier to say than koala. Besides, lots of royals get four forenames, and more.”

Emu wisely keeps to himself his view on royal names. He rather likes the name Charlene, but might have argued for something to reflect the Queen of Australia’s German heritage – possibly a moniker containing an umlaut. Mathilda (mighty battle maiden) would have served the dual purpose, close to Matilda of waltzing fame. Gunnel has a maritime ring, reflecting a favourite Royal hobby.

The Queen’s grandfather George V changed the family name to Windsor, almost too late, from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in July 1917 because of high anti-German feeling in the British Empire as the loyal empire helped Britain smite the Hun, led by George's cousin, Kaiser Willie.

Some are tipping Windsor to be modified to incorporate Mountbatten when Charles becomes monarch. This would honour Lord Louis “Dicky” Mountbatten, to whom Prince Charles was close before the IRA assassinated his Uncle Dicky. Tricky Dicky to some. “Dicky”, a starchy old general once told him after listening to an

outrageous Mountbatten mistruth, “you could swallow a nail and pass a corkscrew!”

Charles might encounter resistance to such a scheme, but the groundwork has been done: his brother Edward has Louis as his fourth forename and Edward's children both carry the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. And, of course, young heir George is Louis as well.

Emu’s reverie is shattered by the ever-loving spouse, face close to his, demanding to know what thought has put a silly grin on his beak. “I’m happy with the name Charlotte, though,” she says, absolving Emu of the need to dissemble about the grin.

“It’s number two on the list of popular girls’ names in Australia. Elizabeth comes in at 49. Diana is not even in the top 100.”

Emu would not dare say it at Emu Ruo, but he is a fervent closet republican.

There’s nothing wrong with Britain, great or otherwise, choosing to have a hereditary head of state – all that pomp is good for tourism – but modern societies operate best with a meritocracy in charge. But we cop it, too.

How would we be if Prince Charles, dull but dedicated, were a replica of Thailand’s heir to the throne, thrice divorced Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, now wed to an unknown fourth spouse and with a reputation as a louche layabout scandal-prone playboy: his most recently discarded wife was a bar girl.

Before the clearing AN exhibition by Simon Normand at the Merricks general store explores the Mornington Peninsula as it was before World War I. The artist presents a series of panoramic photographs of places that “show no sign of the dramatic effects of colonisation,” he says.

Beside each photograph are original painted maps and collages of the landscape. There are references to original

Artist’s view: Simon Normand’s photographs reveal an untouched peninsula landscape. Picture: Yanni

Boonwurrung place names, bullets found in shell middens, stones, insects and glass all preserved in resin-filled boxes. “It’s a vision of the country before the clearing,” he said.

The exhibition runs until 31 May. The gallery at 3460 Frankston-Flinders Rd is open daily 9am-5pm.

WHILE joint pain can occur in many different areas of the body, some of the most common joint pain is experienced in the feet, toes, ankles and knees. Why? We asked Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. Tim Kirwan, from one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to explain.

“Your feet are your foundation and support your entire body weight, whilst your ankles and knees are subject to a lot of wear and tear due to their structural composition, movement and weight bearing requirements. So much of our daily activities rely on our feet and legs so it’s not surprising we experience pain and discomfort in these areas.”

Joint pain can include aching, swelling and stiffness and can make standing, walking and other activities painful. Such symptoms may also be a sign of arthritis of which Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the most common. These types of arthritis share some similar characteristics, but the cause behind the symptoms is very different and so requires different treatment.

Osteoarthritis is caused by mechanical wear and tear on joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, therefore an accurate diagnosis and correct treatment is very important.

When it comes to diagnosing and treating pain and injury associated with the feet and legs, a podiatrist with expertise in musculoskeletal concerns is the best and most qualified practitioner to assist.

Apart from thorough and accurate diagnostics and assessment, an experienced podiatrist focused on Musculoskeletal concerns can provide a whole range of advice and treatments to assist with the symptoms associated with joint pain. These may include: specific exercises for strengthening and conditioning the feet and legs,

general exercise and nutritional advice to assist healing and weight bearing strain, addressing faulty biomechanics, orthoses prescription, advice on appropriate shoe selection, dry needling and natural regenerative injection therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (Platent Rich Plasma).

“Thanks to advances in the latest medical research and treatments we’re able to assist symptoms associated with joint pain and arthritis better than ever before and even avoid surgery in many cases” Dr. Kirwan says.

If you have joint pain or stiffness you can get expert advice at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Rye and Mt Eliza. Call 1300 328 300. Mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultation.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peninsula football association open Compiled by Melissa Walsh

THE friends of Cr T. Ritchie will be pleased to learn that he is able to be about again after his recent illness. *** THE Secretary of The Frankston Football Club begs to acknowledge 10s 6d from Mr Gregory, as a donation towards the Club. *** MR R. T. Picking and family, who have resided in Frankston for some years, have removed to Glen Huntly during the winter months. The absence of the young ladies will be much felt, particularly in social and church work. *** MR W. S Price, dentist, of Bourke street, notifies that he will visit Frankston tomorrow (Sunday), and will be in attendance at Garrood’s Prince of Wales Hotel to receive patients. (Not St Pancras Hospital, as formerly). *** THE Sydney Music Publishing Co have secured the copyright to the popular song “She who gives her son” sung with immense success throughout Australia by Tilly Dunbar of the Fuller Vaudeville Circuit, the words being by Stephen Raffo and the music

by W. Bass Hodge. Copies of the song may be obtained at Frankston, from Mrs Hays fancy goods emporium for 1s 6d per copy.

*** A MEETING of the contributors to the Frankston Patriotic Fund and of the Presentation Fund Committee will be held at the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, on Wednesday next at 8 p.m. The principal business will be financial. The hon treasurer informs us that he has a very substantial sum in hand and it is hoped that there will be a good muster at the meeting to discuss the financial statement and the disposal of the funds in hand. *** EMPIRE Day will be celebrated at the Frankston State School on Monday, 24th May, by the children having games etc at the school, during the afternoon, and to the evening a picture show will be given in the Mechanics’ Hall, to which the school children will be admitted on payment of 1d, and adults 6d, any surplus, after expenses are paid being given to the Belgian Fund. The picture show will commence at 7.30 p.m. *** WE call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in another column of the formation of a Fish Club at Hastings. The club affords a privilege hitherto unattained viz, the supply of fresh fish to the members at cost price plus the cost of distribution.

The committee cannot undertake to send fish but the fish can be obtained at certain hours at Hastings after proper notice.

Full particulars can be obtained on

application to Mr A. T Denham Hastings. *** AT the Mechanics’ Institute Frankston next Monday 17th May, the master magician “Linco” will present a unique up-to-date and spectacular entertainment consisting of the latest illusions and feats of slight of hand.

In these advanced days when enter- tainments have been brought to such a “fine art”’ it is refreshing to find a performer like “Linco” who is really original to see him holding his audience one moment rocking with laughter and the next spellbound with amazement at the dexterity with which he performs one difficult feat after another undoubtedly merits him the title of the master magician.

The entertainment will also be supported by a specially selected programme of up-to-date pictures commencing at 8 p.m. sharp. *** THE latest letters from Egypt received by relatives and friends of our local soldiers reached here the beginning of this week.

One written by Driver A. G. Young was dated April 10th 1915. The troops were then at the Rest camp, a few miles out of Alexandria and they were on the move to the Dardenelles, where we have learned since, they have done such splendid work and where Australia is now living with her sons.

‘We are glad to get a move on’ the writer continues, ‘I am sure the actual

fighting will be preferable to this waiting, although this camp is much better than Mena, which we left in a blinding sand storm’.

It was not long after this letter was written that the first casualty list was published, and each additional list is scanned eagerly for familiar names.

Many and genuine were the expressions of regret when the name of Mr Olley, nephew of Mrs Sherlock, of this town, was found among the list of those who were killed when the first fighting took place.

Quite a gloom was cast over Frankston on Monday, when word was received that Private R..H .Dawborn was wounded, and much sympathy is expressed for his relatives who are at present living in Melbourne after spending years in Frankston, where they are well known.

News of Ray is anxiously waited for.

Corporal H C. Ashmore is also among the wounded. Up to date all other Frankston boys are still fighting for King and country, fit and well. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason request us to notify that owing to the legal matters relative to Mr McArthur’s sale (as per preliminary advertisement) the date of this sale cannot yet be fixed. *** AT 5.50 p.m., on the 26th of April, in an unpretentious cottage in William Street, Frankston, surrounded by sorrowing relatives, there passed silently

and painlessly into the Life Eternal, one whose sojourn here had been a ministry of benefaction for many years.

To withhold our tribute from one so worthy, to fail to record appreciation of her worth, would be ill in accordance with the nature of things, for like her Divine Master it may be said of her that she went about doing good.

In all the relations of life, as daughter, wife, mother or friend, whether in pressing poverty or bravely struggling with the hardship inseparable from the lot of a pioneer, she ever exhibited a kindliness of disposition, wealth of resource, loyalty to high principle, conscience, and duty, which marked her unmistakeably as pre-eminent among women.

Grace McComb, the subject of our memoir, was born on August 19th, 1827, at Muddy Plains, near Clarence Plains, a few miles from Hobart, Tasmania.

Sixty-three years a resident of Victoria, honored and respected by all, leaving behind her six sons, two daughters, 47 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, she has gone to rest. ***

SATURDAY last was the opening

day of the Peninsula Football Association, and the weather was all that could be desired, being nice and mild, without any wind, so that it was a matter of indifference from which end the ball was kicked.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Man versus chicken: The ultimate mixed martial art

By Stuart McCullough SO that, so it seems, is that. We will spend over three hundred million dollars to not build something. Truth be told, there’s a lot of things I would be willing to not do for three hundred million. Unloading the dishwasher, taking out the bins and opening my credit card statements immediately spring to mind. The whole debacle guarantees that in future the odds of achieving a consensus regarding any major piece of infrastructure are on par with Kim Jong-un replacing Zayne in One Direction. Or as likely as hell freezing over which, as it happens, is itself currently the subject of a cost / benefit analysis by Infrastructure Australia.

Regardless of whether you were for or against the East – West link, the end result is a massive blow to the existential nether regions. But although things right now may seem bleak, there is something on the horizon that will, doubtless, restore the faith and optimism our state so sorely needs.

Soon business confidence will soar to such a level that it immediately buy a convertible and start propositioning unsuspecting passers-by. But what, I hear you ask, can a dispirited and downtrodden people possibly have to look forward to? The answer is simple: cage fighting.

When the history of this great state is written, it will rightly record that the most recent state election was a referendum on cage fighting. There can be no doubt that our Government has an unassailable mandate to introduce the sport of princes to an enthusiastic and grateful public. Forget cricket, football and soccer. Real sport wears

tights. And those who play real sports aren’t saddled with useless, pedestrian run-of-the-mill names like ‘David’, ‘Michael’ or ‘Lorraine’. Instead, truly elite athletes have memorable designations like ‘Bonecrusher’, ‘Lord Stink Breath’ and ‘Dennis’.

The great thing about cage fighting is that it relies on nothing other than the skill and strength of the participants, notwithstanding that a fiftydollar gift voucher from Bunnings

also comes in handy if you don’t happen to have a cage at your immediate disposal. In the not too distant future, we will wonder how we ever lived in a world without mixed martial arts and a few cheeky metres of chicken wire.

In fact, I predict that cage fighting will soon be a part of everyday life. I, for one, long for the day in the surely not too distant future when it becomes a standard part of school sports carnivals, right up there with lacrosse

and tunnel ball. Every school already has the infrastructure. You need only whack up an extra side on the cricket nets and – voilà – your cage-fighting arena awaits. You can’t tell me teachers aren’t looking forward to it.

For those naysayers who like to destroy everything new and beautiful and precious, they can always pack a bag and move to Western Australia – the only domino in our martial-arts loving Commonwealth yet to fall. Besides, it’s not as though the sport is anything new. Just like democracy, cage fighting was invented by the Ancient Greeks except they called it ‘Pankration’. Back then, though, it was performed in colosseums rather than cages, presumably because Bunnings would not be invented for another two thousand years.

Of those who do object, some don’t mind mixed martial arts so much as the arena. Those people are, frankly, delusional. The cage is – so I’m told – all about safety. Whose safety, I’m not altogether sure. Besides, it’s also kind of romantic. By conducting this violent and brutal sport in a cage, it gives the competitors somewhere to put their ‘I love you’ padlocks. And that, if nothing else, should count for something.

But it’s not all extreme violence and grand romantic gestures. Indeed, cage fighting is not just about mixed martial arts: it’s about mixed feelings too. Because when human beings step inside quality fencing in the name of sport, it raises deep philosophical issues.

Genevan philosopher and part time MKR celebrity judge Jean-Jacques Rousseau once wrote that Man is free, and everywhere is chains. Old Jean-

Jacques was ninety percent right. Humankind is not in chains, it’s in a great big, glorious cage. But consider this: for decades the world has worked to get chickens out of cages. In fact, we now insist that our eggs be cage free.

By putting our mixed martial artists in wire cages, are we really saying that these elite athletes are less important than a chicken?

It’s a scientific fact that chickens are mankind’s greatest natural threat.

Don’t be fooled by their calm exterior – beneath all those feathers and clucking lurks the black heart of a killer that would rather rip your heart out through your chest than it would lay you an egg. That’s why we kept them locked up for all those years. Indeed, that’s why when someone meets their demise we still refer to ‘fowl play’ (although, granted, it’s often misspelled).

Over decades, the oppressed poultry classes have lulled us into a false sense of security and we – suckers that we are – have fallen for it.

Having conned their way out of imprisonment, the fiendish fowls have gone one step further by convincing humans to get in cages. They must be laughing at us. In fact, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if at the next bout, the entire audience is made up of chickens: Burford Browns, Buff Orpingtons and Afghan Subzwaris as far as the eye can see. We must resist. Either we insist that mixed martial arts are conducted in an entirely free-range environment or we invite all poultry to settle this once and for all with a cage fight for the ages. They’d better accept, too, lest I should have to call them, well, chicken. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Kangas upset Stonecats in come from behind win PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN dislodged Frankston YCW from the Peninsula Division top five with a come from behind five-point win on Saturday.

The Kangaroos trailed by 20 points at three quarter and went further down when YCW kicked the opening goal of the final quarter. However, the tenacious Kangas kicked the final five goals of the game to record a 12.8 (80) to 10.15 (75) victory. Frankston YCW went into the game without Scott McLeod, Ricky Morris, Ben Tellis, Luke Collins, Ash Eames and Anthony Barry. Despite the missing key players Gavin Artico said the four points was all that counted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, we were all aware of the quality of players they had missing,â&#x20AC;?

Artico said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, us winning the game was always going to be due to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;YCW missing playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It (the result) was always going to be more about YCW and less about us. Fact of the matter is, in my opinion, we proved that we have greater depth, adapted better and were full of running in the end. We ran all over them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are missing Dylan Luxa, Andrew Withers, Hayden Golby, Dale Eames and our 2014 B&F winner, Liam Hogan.

You could argue that they are not as big a names as the players YCW was missing but for us, they are equally as valuable. They are all well and truly in our best side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By quarter time on Saturday, we lost Jayden Grose and Nick Hammill. Grose had back spasms, so we were down a midfield rotation, while Hammill courageously put his body on the line and got knocked out. So this robbed us of a key position player. Again, we had to adapt and our players had to step up to the plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really proud of the way they turned things around. We came at them hard and whilst they tried to defend, we attacked and continued to try and score.

We could have rolled over but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not our style. It was a good confidence builder for the group and again highlights that if we play the way we want to and stick to that, then the results would come,â&#x20AC;? Artico said.

Matty Dinkos booted five goals for the Kangas while Gerard Brown continued his domination with four majors. Matty Naughton rucked for most of the game and was outstanding. Shane Paterson was again dominant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patto is really relishing his onfield leadership role and

being part of the midfield group. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missed a lot of footy and it was always going to take time. He was never going to forget how to find the footy and be courageous, which are his strengths. It was the touch he needed and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well and truly back,â&#x20AC;? Artico said. Anthony Bruhn booted three goals for the Stonecats while Kevin Lylak was amongst the best in his return game.

Pines came back to earth with a massive thud after being touched up by Mornington at Alexandra Park. Missing skipper Jamie Messina with a seasonending knee injury, the Pythons were always going to struggle at Mornington, despite their four wins to open the season.

Guy Hendry was the sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most productive forward with three while Corey Ash was named his sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best. The day belonged to the Doggies and they provided just how much ground Pines needs to make-up to be competitive against the best in the competition. Jimmy Cameron was unstoppable around the footy while the likes of Joel Miller and Adam Symes continued their dominant starts to the season. Ryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell also found a heap of the footy and Michael Gay, despite not being 100 per cent fit, dominated the ruck. The Dogs were in control for the duration and won 14.14 (99) to 6.13 (49).

Former St Kilda star Stephen Milne had little impact on Chelsea as they went down to Bonbeach by 31 points.

Whilst he kicked a goal, Milne was unable to stop Bonbeachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s onslaught, going down 12.9 (81) to 6.14 (50). Chris Bryan booted four for the winners while Justin Bennett and Mark Tyrell booted a couple each. Anthony Carrio got a heap of the footy, as did Matt Douglas and skipper Gary Carpenter for the Sharks. Hudson Thomas and Grant Trew were the best of the Gulls.

Seaford is in big trouble. The Tigers kicked just two goals against Mt Eliza on Saturday.

Eagles show strength against Sharks NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SOMERVILLE announced itself as a genuine premiership threat on Saturday when it held on to beat Sorrento in Nepean Division.

The win saw the Eagles replace Sorrento in the top five, while relegating the opposition to seventh place on the ladder.

It’s the second loss in a row for the Sharks after they went down to ladder leaders Red Hill by 16 points two weeks ago.

Whilst the Eagles walked away with the four points on Saturday, it wasn’t all one way traffic.

Somerville booted four goals to zip in the opening quarter and looked to be cruising at the 15 minute mark of the second when they answered a surge from the Sharks.

However, four straight goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half saw the visitors walk off the ground with a one point lead.

The second half was an arm wrestle.

Sorrento dominated the inside 50s count in the third quarter (15 to 9) but could only manage 2.1 to Somerville’s

3.1. Sorrento’s inability to score was due to the good work of the defence of Somerville, led by Ben Sedgewick and Tim Hirst, who provided plenty of drive, as well as the strong work of Kane McKenzie and Todd Farrelly.

Only one goal was scored in the last quarter, which came off the boot of Adrian Speedy, who finished with two majors for the afternoon and 16 possessions in the second half for the Eagles.

Tyrren Head and Daniel Grant were outstanding for the Sharks, while Myles Pitt and Leigh Poholke each finished with four goals.

Somerville had a much larger spread of good players.

Timmy McGennis was the best player on the ground with 28 possessions, while Rohan Hogenbirk was solid with 24 touches.

Steve Crowe did a wonderful job minding Leigh Treeby, keeping the stand-in coach to just nine possessions for the match.

Justin Farrelly controlled the ruck contests at centre bounces and around the ground, beating both Chris Morgan and Jon Croad.

We saw a different side of Somer-

ville on Saturday – a more mature side.

They jumped out of the blocks strongly for the first time this season, responded to a fightback and then got down and dirty to fight for ground in an arm wrestle.

With wins now against Sorrento and Red Hill, it’s fair to say now that the Eagles have earned the respect they were looking for in the competition.

Crib Point had a fairytale season in last year. In 2015, the Magpies’ season is over.

The Pies hosted Frankston Bombers on the home deck on Saturday and simply had to win to keep their season alive.

Winless to this point, Frankston Bombers too had a bit to prove.

The Bombers led at every change and deserved to get the four points, which they did with a 11.11 (77) to 10.13 (73) victory.

Nathan Lonie returned for the Bombers and while not setting the world on fire, provided enormous and much needed experience to a young outfit.

Zac Longham booted four goals after missing last week for personal rea-

sons and James Degenhardt was the best player on the ground.

The Bombers haven’t been that far off the mark and deserved a win under new coach Beau Muston.

Crib Point had their chances to steal the game, however, fell short in the big moments.

Dean Karies and Lee Koerner were the best of the Pies.

Both Bombers and Crib Point have one win for the season and in a tight, 16-round competition, will not take part of finals actions.

Dromana stormed home with a seven goal to one last quarter on Saturday to beat Pearcedale by 24 points, 12.16 (88) to 10.4 (64).

Pearcedale led by 16 points at three quarter time and booted the first goal of the final term to lead by a game high 21 points, before the Tigers kicked the final seven goals of the match.

16-yeard-old Sam Fowler was superb once again for the Tigers with six goals.

It was a fitting result given it was Adam Hunter’s final game in the seniors. Hunter goes into hospital for surgery this week before again tackling the fight against cancer, which

has re-emerged on his liver. The footy world is right behind Hunter.

Pearcedale youngsters Lachy Marshall and Daniel Heijden were their best players.

Hastings remains the only undefeated team in the competition and sits in second place on the ladder after beating Devon Meadows on Saturday.

The Blues controlled the match for the majority of the contest with Luke Hewitt and Colin McVeigh booting four and three goals respectively.

Beau Miller and Steven McInnes were the best of the Panthers while Kyle Beveridge booted a couple and was also solid over four quarters.

In the final game, Josh Mold booted a career-high 10 goals for Red Hill in their 25.12 (162) to 4.6 (30) victory against Tyabb.

Michael Chaplin also had a breakout game for the Hillmen with six goals and Josh Mold finished with five. Sean Holmes and Paul Wintle dominated.

It was a tough day at the office for the Yabbies, although James Cottrell was a stand out.
