Plan to cap rates ‘farce’

By Chris Brennan A LABOR Party plan to force councils to cap annual rate rises at or below the level of inflation has been labelled a “farce” that if implemented would hit vital services and infrastructure.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi joined a chorus of criticism against the ALP proposal, warning any move to cap local government rates would result in a “significant reduction in the delivery of quality infrastructure and services provided to our local community”.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said last week that, under a Labor state

government, Victorian councils would be forced to cap annual rate rises in line with the Consumer Price Index.

Under the current system, councils are free to raise rates as they see fit, with strict budget transparency protocols and the potential wrath of ratepayers at the voting box keeping rises in check.

But council rate hikes usually far exceed inflation. Shire rates last year increased by an average of 5.9 per cent, more than double the inflation rate of 2.9 per cent. The council has budgeted a further 5.9 per cent rise for 2014-15.

The current CPI figure is 2.7 per cent.

Mr Andrews said that if the ALP won the election, any council wanting to increase annual levies charged to property owners and businesses at levels exceeding the official rate of inflation would have to justify the rise to an independent Essential Services Commission.

The ALP policy sent a “clear message that we expect councils to keep their rates in line with CPI, any increases above this must provide a clear benefit to ratepayers”, he said.

“Under Labor, councils will be forced to limit rate rises and detail where every dollar will be spent, because ratepayers

deserve a fair go,” he said.

However, Cr Celi said a similar cap on rates in place in the 1990s had proven disastrous and had been dumped as a result. “Many councils simply didn’t have enough money to adequately invest in the maintenance and upgrading of community infrastructure and to meet the continually rising expectations of their communities,” Cr Celi said.

“More than a decade later, many still haven’t closed the infrastructure renewal gap. Fortunately, Mornington Peninsula Shire has.”

mentary Secretary for Local Government David Morris agreed restrictions on councils’ ability to set rates was the wrong approach to reigning in spending.

“It’s a very blunt instrument and it doesn’t work,” Mr Morris told The News. “What tends to happen if councils are forced to cut back cost is they go for the low hanging fruit – capital works get wound back, peripheral services get cut and lower profile programs that are often there to help more vulnerable members of the community are the ones to suffer budget cuts.”

Amnesty demands rights answers

By Neil Walker AMNESTY International has delivered a petition to Flinders MP Greg Hunt highlighting concern at the federal government’s treatment of asylum seekers.

The human rights group has demanded the government respond to its report on “cruel and humiliating” conditions at the Manus Island detention centre detailed by Amnesty International investigators who visited the Papua New Guinea facility late last year.

Federal environment minister Mr Hunt agreed to meet Amnesty International peninsula branch members Kevin Bain, Barbara McKenzie and Anne Blight last Friday to discuss their views about offshore processing of refugees.

The trio and other volunteers gathered more than 500 signatures at Mornington market for petitions to be handed to Mr Hunt and fellow Liberal MP and member for Dunkley Bruce Billson (‘Petition brings asylum seekers home to MPs’, The News, 15/4/14).

Mr Bain said a lot of people are angry and disappointed at successive governments’ policy of “demonising” asylum seekers.

“We wanted to tell Mr Hunt that many people in Australia are crying out for leaders with long-term vision rather than those who use asylum seekers as a target for short-term political gain.”

He told The News Mr Hunt had questioned whether Amnesty International had pursued the previous Labor administration as vigorously on the

Justice for all: Amnesty International members (from left) Barbara McKenzie, Anne Blight and Kevin Bain delivered a petition to Flinders MP Greg Hunt that criticised the federal government’s treatment of asylum seekers. Picture: Yanni

contentious issue as the current Liberal and National Party coalition government.

“Amnesty International is a nonpolitical organisation and has tried to hold successive governments to account for their disgraceful treatment of those fleeing prosecution in other countries,” Mr Bain said.

Mr Hunt told Mr Bain he had read the Amnesty report about conditions at Manus Island and “had promised to pass the petition on to immigration minister Scott Morrison”.

Mr Bain said Mr Hunt had commit-

ted to seek an official government response to the petition.

Mr Hunt released a statement to The News after the meeting stating “constructive feedback on how offshore processing could be improved was welcomed by the government”.

He said the previous Labor government’s “failure on our borders” had led to more than 50,000 people arriving on more than 800 boats, with more than 1100 people known to have drowned at sea.

“Offshore processing in Nauru and Papua New Guinea is one part of a

range of measures being used to stop the people smuggling trade and prevent further illegal maritime arrivals to Australia,” he said.

Mr Hunt said the government had made a number of improvements at the Manus Island and Nauru facilities since winning government in September last year.

“All people transferred and accommodated at an offshore processing centre are treated with dignity and respect and in accordance with human rights standards,” Mr Hunt said.

In February this year several asylum seekers detained at Manus Island were injured during unrest inside the confines of the detention centre.

A 23-year-old Iranian man, Reza Berati, was murdered during riots at the centre and a PNG police investigation has failed to identify the culprits amid allegations PNG guards hired by contractor Transfield on behalf of the Australian government were involved.

Mr Hunt said: “The government has contracted appropriately trained and experienced service providers to ensure transferees’ needs are adequately met.”

Transfield is paid more than $61 million per month by the Australian government to manage the Manus Island detention centre, and replaced previous contractor G4S in February after the riots.

Refugees at Manus Island have accused G4S security guards of attacking them with rocks and iron bars during the February night of violence at the detention centre.

Church bells ring for children’s sake

By Keith Platt BELLS are ringing at Balnarring and Flinders as part of a campaign to force the federal government to release children from its refugee detention centres.

The peals may be a long way from Canberra where decisions of this type are made, although they are being tolled in the blue ribbon Liberal area of Flinders MP, Greg Hunt.

If the Rev Jennifer Furphy has her way churches throughout Australia will start to echo the distant sounds from her parish on the Mornington Peninsula.

Ms Furphy believes the federal government is misreading the wishes of most Australians by holding more than 1030 children in detention, both in

Australia and at centres on Christmas Island and Nauru.

“Refugees are entitled to seek asylum, it’s a universal human right, and Australians have more compassion that what the government seems to believe.”

The Tuesday night ringing of the bell started at St Marks, Balnarring, on 22 April and the following night at St John’s, Flinders.

“We’ll keep going until the children are released, or we die,” Ms Furphy said.

She said parishioners had sent letters and emails to Mr Hunt “but we haven’t received any replies”.

Ms Furphy said she was “cynical” about politicians’ using the prevention

of deaths at sea to justify their detention centre policies.

Churchgoers carried candles through the labyrinth at St Marks on 23 February in memory of 23-year-old Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati who was killed at the Manus Island detention centre and “to light up the darkness of oppression”.

Ms Furphy said churches first started ringing bells more than 10 years ago “for the same reason” – children being held in detention by the Australian government.

However, the number of children in detention back then was far fewer than at present.

“The situation is so much worse now,” she said.

“I think that by remaining silent, when the government and the opposition are doing this, we risk losing our humanity. As part of the church, we must be people who stand up and speak out when we think something is wrong.

“Whether we get stacks of people turning up or whether we get hardly any, we’ll still ring the bell."

Ms Furphy said a vicar in Hastings was arranging to ring hand bells because his church was not equipped with a bell while the church at Shoreham would program its automatic bell to ring each week.

“We want all the churches on the Mornington Peninsula to do the same thing; the Victorian Council

of Churches is considering taking it across the state.

“Some of these children are in detention in Australia – it’s not a compassionate way to deal with the problem.

“There are a lot of children without parents and I think claims for asylum by parents with children should be made quickly and in a humane way.”

Ms Furphy said investigations had revealed children to be suffering psychological problems caused by being held in detention.

“We have a groundswell of support that this treatment [of asylum seekers] is not what Australians want.

“It’s wrong to be treating innocent children this way.”

Family reunion for Jennings clan

Lecture makes the right moves

By Barry Irving FAMILY get togethers are always fun: none more so than when 150 members of the Jennings clan gathered at Rye Primary School on 26-27 April to celebrate the 100th anniversary of their family’s arrival at Rye. Some travelled from as far as Queensland, South Australia and NSW for the event, which included the launch of a book written by Jennings descendant and family reunion organiser, Linda Berndt.

There’s much to tell: after bankruptcy during the 1890s, George ‘Dod’ Jennings – born at Drysdale in 1857 - his wife Hannah (nee Wiffen) and their sons George Ernest (Ern), Cecil and Bernard and their families moved between Flinders, Cranbourne and Camperdown as onion farmers.

They settled in 1914 on 221 acres of land bounded by Dundas St, Browns Rd and Jennings Rd (later Weeroona St).

It had taken the families six weeks to travel from Camperdown – in the Western District - to Rye, using horses and four-wheeled drays to carry corrugated iron and their belongings. At one stage the families had to wait for the tide to go out at Anthony’s Nose before continuing their journey to Rye.

FORMER principal percussionist with London’s Royal Opera House orchestra Nigel Bates will deliver an illustrated lecture called It’s Not Just Tchaikovsky in Mornington this week.

Mr Bates will focus on the music chosen by ballet choreographers through the years, proving the right piece with the right moves and the right designs can create modern masterpieces and timeless classics.

Mr Bates was also the producer for BBC Classical Music TV’s Maestro at the Opera and is the music administrator for the Royal Ballet.

The lecture is hosted by the Australian Decorative & Fine Arts Society at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilson Rd, Mornington on Friday 16 May at 5.30pm. Members are welcome to take guests. Call 9787 2092 to book.

They are family: The Jennings extended clan gathered to celebrate the arrival of their family in Rye 100 years ago.

Cecil, his wife Catherine (nee Tuck), their nine children and Dod and Hannah farmed land near Dundas Street.

Ern, his wife Mary (nee Wiffen) and their nine children lived in a house on the Weeroona St side of the property, backing onto Browns Rd. Bernard lived for a while with his parents but, after returning from World War I, he settled his family in Melbourne.

He regularly returned to Rye with his son, riding bicycles from Clifton Hill. Bernard died in 1943 and is buried at Fawkner cemetery.

Dod named his Rye property Kariah, after an area near Camperdown where the family had grown onions and milked. The corrugated iron was used for housing while driftwood

from the back beach added the finishing touches. Hessian hung from the roof acted as room dividers. The floors were dirt. Beds were made from ti tree with hessian mattresses.

After failing at onion farming, the family began dairying and formed a large jersey herd. They soon became renowned for milk production.

Unfortunately, Dod did not see the rewards of his labour, dying in 1918 from Hodgkin’s Disease at 61. The story goes that Dod would not remove his hat for anything so, when he died, Hannah requested he be buried in his hat. She died in 1934.

Ern bought a milk round from a Mr Bob Rowley and, later, expanded into Rosebud, selling his share of Kariah to

Cec. Ern then leased property around Leonard St, Tootgarook to produce milk. His daughter, also Hannah, would do a daily milk run.

Ern’s sons Jack, Bill and Claude took over the dairy at Rye, on the site of the current newsagency. It was eventually run by Claude and his sons Ernest and Dennis.

The Rye dairy was sold in 1974 to Claude’s brother Jack who also ran the Rosebud dairy. Ern died in 1958. Cec sold Kariah, which he had renamed Milangil, in the late 1950s and retired to 100 Dundas St – an old limestone building. He died in 1963. Dod, Hannah, Ern and Cecil are buried at Rye. The Jennings name continues to live on proudly. Over the years the family has been involved in the community and local sport. Dod’s grandson Clarrie became a stalwart of the Rye Football Club, serving as president for 21 years.

His great grandson Ernest played cricket for Rye for 35 years.

Others with the Jennings name have served with the fire brigade, Lions and Rotary, cricket and football clubs and helped found the RSL. They have been active with the historical society, the Cemetery Trust and just about every other local organisation that serves Rye.

Memory of Constable Smith lives on at new hospital unit

By Chris Brennan A NEW life-saving unit at Rosebud Hospital has been dedicated to the memory of a police officer who died in the line of duty by the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation.

The emergency resuscitation area at Rosebud Hospital has been named in memory of Constable Clyde Smith, a father of five, who was killed in the line of duty at Frankston in 1935.

The contribution of the Smith family to the community was also praised during the ceremony, with four generations having served in the police force.

The dedication was funded through a donation of $150,000 from the Blue Ribbon Foundation’s Peninsula Branch.

Constable Smith, 34, was performing traffic control at the intersection of Bay and Davey streets when he suffered a fatal injury when his partner accidentally discharged his weapon. He was rushed to hospital but died later the same day.

Blue Ribbon Foundation chair-

man Bill Noonan said the Rosebud Hospital dedication would serve as a permanent reminder of the work and sacrifice made police members such as Constable Smith.

“The Blue Ribbon Foundation maintains the important link between the community and its Police Force,” Mr Noonan said.

“The work of the Blue Ribbon Foundation enables us to honour police officers who have fallen in the line of duty and provide funding to public hospitals, such as Rosebud Hospital, to support the amazing work they do and the services they provide.”

The Blue Ribbon Foundation’s peninsula branch has been fundraising for more than 12 months to reach the goal of $150,000 for Peninsula Health’s Emergency Departments at Frankston Hospital and Rosebud Hospital.

“We’re proud to see the naming of this facility in Rosebud Hospital's emergency department; symbolically it puts Constable Smith back on duty and serving his local community,” Blue Ribbon Peninsula Branch presi-

Books galore BOOK lovers should head along to the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza’s annual Rotary Book Bonanza event to hunt for bargains.

Boxed sets of book, vintage editions, hardback and paperback books will all be on display for readers to leaf through before deciding whether to buy.

Funds raised will be used for community projects.

Entry is free. Refreshments available.

The Rotary Book Bonanza will be held on Saturday 24 May at 10am3pm at the Mt Eliza Scout Hall, Butler Reserve (off Ranelagh Dr).

dent Darryl Nation said.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who attended the dedication ceremony on 1 May, said the work police officers performed despite ever present dangers was critical to a harmonious and prosperous community.

“The dedication of this memorial in honour of Constable Clyde James Smith is a powerful tribute to a police officer who gave his life to serve others,” Mr Hunt said.

“Our police officers put their lives on the line every day for our safety

and this is a reminder of the difficult and dangerous job they have.”

Mr Hunt said the Smiths were an “amazing family” who had dedicated their lives over four generations to serving the community through the police force.

“It was lovely that the Smith family could be there for the dedication at Rosebud Hospital,” he said.

“I thank the Smith family for their collective years of service and commend them on their outstanding contribution to the community.”

CREATING jobs for young people in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula is the aim of a website launched at a breakfast by Senator Scott Ryan.

About 50 business people attended the launch of FMPjobs at Mornington Golf Club last week.

It was organised by the Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network and the Workplace Learning Coordinator program. FMPjobs aims to linking job seekers with employers.

Organisers say FMPjobs will appeal to teachers, social workers, young people, employers, local residents and job seekers.

The website is free for local businesses to advertise local jobs and free for job seekers. See www. fmpjobs.com.au

Postcards from the past COLOURFUL postcards will tell the early history of the peninsula’s most popular holiday spots at an exhibition to open next month.

Period-style scenes will explore a time when holidaying was a grand adventure and fond memories were shared with family and friends by sending postcards back home.

In the exhibition, Flinders will tell the story of its renowned guesthouses, while Nepean’s take on holidaymakers will focus on the role of paddle steamers which carried tourists all around the bay. The influence of the paddle steamer can still be seen in Sorrento - the ferry.

Celebrating 130th the primary aim of weekend Two days of festivities marked Rosebud Primary School’s 130th anniversary over the 2-3 May weekend.

On the Friday “a couple of hundred’’ past pupils and teachers enjoyed an olden days dress up walkathon and later a staff reunion dinner. On the Saturday afternoon guests chatted and reminisced at a school community reunion.

There were tours of old and new buildings, an afternoon tea and catch ups with old friends and teachers while viewing past photos and sharing stories.

“There’s a bit of longevity here,’’ music teacher and event organiser Malcolm Boag said as he recalled a wet weekend on which “the heavens opened’’ half an hour before festivities began.

“We had Isobel Driscoll (nee Wilson) who was a pupil here in 1938, also Bev Arranga, whose father, a teacher, retired aged 70 in 1963, and one bright latecomer, Pat Brant, who popped her head in the door and said: ‘You probably don’t remember me but I was a pupil here 75 years ago’.’’

Some of the teachers who enjoyed the fun had taught at the school since the mid-seventies – including Mr Boag.

On the school’s 100th anniversary the-then-local paper, The Gazette, ran a six-page special which focused on the history of the town and the

school’s interconnection with it. It reported that the ship Rosebud was wrecked in 1854, later giving the growing town its name. The primary school opened in 1884, and a ‘new’ school building opened in 1924.

Forty years later the beach road was duplicated.

Fast track to 2014 and an even ‘newer’ junior school is to ‘officially’ open soon, although it is already being used.

Another anniversary is worth mentioning. Mr Boag reports that the school’s district-wide music camp – begun in 1985 and running every year since – has fostered the interest of thousands of young musicians.

They’ve enjoyed participating in concerts, camps and tours around Australia, he said.

The camp will celebrate its 30th year in June at the Briars outdoor education facility at Mt Martha.

Frankston out of loop in new rail plan

By Neil Walker FRANKSTON line commuters face frustrating delays reaching Flinders St and Richmond stations if the state government’s Melbourne Rail Link plan unveiled last week is implemented.

The Coalition spruiked the $11 billion Melbourne Rail Link as a heavy rail infrastructure project that would cement “Melbourne’s position as one of the world’s most liveable cities”.

But details of the plan reveal Frankston line commuters would face delays travelling to some destinations.

The project will re-route the Frankston line via a new train station called Fishermans Bend, named after a new suburb to be established in an industrial area near Port Melbourne.

However, somewhat confusingly, the new station will be located near

Crown Casino in Melbourne’s CBD. Frankston line commuters will be forced to switch trains at South Yarra or Caulfield if they wish to exit at Richmond or Flinders Street.

State Labor candidate for Frankston Helen Constas condemned the disruption Frankston line travellers

would face when the Melbourne Rail Link is complete.

“It’s a disaster for Frankston and people are very concerned,” Ms Constas said.

“Commuters tell me they are very upset about the extra 20 minutes it’s going to take to get to the city – it’s

time they’d rather spend at home with their families.”

Frankston line trains will continue to stop at other stations in the city loop including Southern Cross, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central and Parliament stations. However, many city workers will be inconvenienced at being unable to board a direct train to Flinders Street.

A-League football fans also often alight at Richmond to walk the short distance to the AAMI Park stadium.

Public Transport Users Association president Tony Morton criticised the Napthine government for abandoning its long-mooted Melbourne Metro network project, which would have seen extra rail infrastructure built to the west and north of Melbourne.

“Quite simply, this is policy on the run,” Dr Morton said. “If you’re on the Frankston line there will be no more Flinders Street trains for you and unless you’re heading for the west side

of the CBD you’ll now need to change at Caulfield or South Yarra.”

The Melbourne Rail Link is expected to be complete by 2023. The state government said train and rail upgrades before its completion would see travel times decrease.

The PTUA’s Dr Morton said there should have been public debate before the Melbourne Rail Link was finalised.

Successive state governments had failed to invest in rail infrastructure and had preferred to focus on roads, according to Dr Morton. “There is nothing for people who live and work in the suburbs, unless you drive a car.”

Dissatisfaction with Frankston line train services was regarded as a major factor in Liberal MPs winning several ‘sandbelt’ bayside seats from the ALP at the 2010 state election.

The coalition has a one-seat majority and faces a battle to retain marginal bayside seats at November’s state poll.

In deep: Mt Eliza North Primary pupils Mischa and Lewis on the technological cutting edge. Picture: Yanni

Schools get linked in LANGWARRIN and Mount Eliza North primary schools have been selected to join a global partnership involving 1000 schools across 10 countries to develop new ways to use cutting edge technology to educate and inspire students.

The schools will join 70 Victorian and 20 Tasmania schools participating in the three-year initiative which aims to transform the way educators and students think about learning, teaching and assessment.

The New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: A Global Partnership connects schools with education leader Dr Michael Fullan – who supported the transformation of the Ontario School System into one of the highest performing in the world – and industry partners Microsoft, Intel and Promethean.

Education Minister and peninsula MP Martin Dixon said technology was a great enabler for delivering a world-class education system while help-

ing students and teachers across the globe share resources and best practices.

“Today’s schools are increasingly being challenged to remain relevant to students and to prepare them for the social, economic and environmental tests they will face in life,” Mr Dixon said.

“The Victorian schools taking part in this initiative will play a vital role in helping shape the way technology can inspire young students and lift educational outcomes.”

Dr Fullan said the initiative aimed to change the learning relationship between teachers and students to make learning more engaging and productive.

“Unless a new pedagogy emerges, the students in school will become increasingly bored and the adults increasingly frustrated,” he said.

Council rate hikes COMMENT Alan Nelsen Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association president AT its meeting on 22 April 2014 The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council recommended a 5.9 per cent average increase in rates next year.

The council rejected a motion by Cr David Gibb, seconded by Anne Shaw that in addition to the 5.9 per cent rise that the Municipal Charge be increased from $180 to $190 which meant that ratepayers would also have to pay a further $10.

Council now proposes to borrow a further approximately $1 million to offset the loss of revenue because the Municipal Charge will not be increased.

The 5.9 per cent increase is 18 per cent more

than the shire told the government less than 12 months ago in its Strategic Plan that rates would only increase by 5.0 per cent for each of the next four years (ie years 2014 to 2017).

How will the rate increase affect you?

The rate increase is an average increase across the whole of the shire, however every second year the shire is required by government to revalue your property and this year is a reevaluation year.

This will affect you because your rates are based on the value of your property and will vary from the 5.9 per cent average increase.

If the value of your property increases less than the average rise across the Shire then you will be lucky because your rate increase will be less than 5.9 per cent.

Conversely, if your property value increases more than the shire average then you will pay

ALP plan could stymie shire

By David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s decade of strong rate rises – up nearly 120 per cent since 2004-05 – could face a tricky hurdle next financial year if Victoria’s Opposition is elected in November.

Labor’s announcement that it would cap rate rises at CPI and require councils to justify higher rises means the shire would have to get such rate proposals approved by the independent Essential Services Commission.

It would likely face a further hurdle at the ESC were it to follow its normal practice of omitting the municipal charge from its rates calculation.

This practice has been hotly disputed for years as giving a false picture of rates rises.

Councillors voted recently not to raise the charge by $10 to $190. It was $80 in 2004-05.

They approved a rate-in-the-dollar rise of 5.9

per cent after debate that it should be pegged at 5 per cent and money borrowed to make up the shortfall.

Last year recently departed finance chief Marilyn Kearney admitted the real 2013-14 rates figure was higher than announced and amended it to incorporate the municipal charge. She left several weeks ago in the midst of preparing the recently approved 2014-15 budget.

Labor leader Daniel Andrews said the ESC would determine whether rate increases are fair, and will take into account:  Any extraordinary circumstances (e.g. natural disasters, new functions);  Other sources of income available to the council and their overall financial position;  The continued maintenance of essential council services.

At present the ESC ensures that Victorians “pay

Mayor hits out at cap proposal Continued from Page 1 The answer to reigning in local government spending lay with better monitoring and oversight, he said, adding that the state government had spent two-and-a-half years working with councils to develop a comprehensive performance reporting regime, which will be implemented from 1 July.

The new Performance Reporting Framework would identify where councils were performing well, where they needed to improve and whether the community was getting value for money for the provision and maintenance of services, infrastructure and facilities.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the while councils needed to be mindful of not adding to the cost living burden of its ratepayers, capping annual rate rises would not help.

The Municipal Association of Victoria also condemned Labor’s plan, accusing the Opposition of bringing back a “failed” reform first introduced by former premier Jeff Kennett in the 1990s.

“Rate rise restrictions leave councils with two main choices – reduce services relied on by communities or reduce capital spending to maintain assets,” MAV president Bill McArthur said.

Frankston City Council joined the shire in voicing strong reservations about any moves to cap rates in line with inflation.

Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor said the majority of council expenditure went on items not factored into CPI, with cost increases often far exceeding inflation, such as in the case of building materials, which in recent times had been rising by about 4.5 per cent a year.

“Any linking of rates to CPI would therefore create a funding gap that would escalate over time and result in a deterioration of services and facilities,” Cr Taylor said.

“It is also important to note councils currently

invest a significant amount of ratepayers’ money building, managing, operating and upgrading infrastructure and services on the state government’s behalf. Frankston City Council would welcome any proposal that locks in sufficient levels of state government funding to reduce this burden on ratepayers and allow rate increases to be kept to a minimum.”

He also rejected accusations of council waste, claiming that local government was “the most efficient tier of government in Australia, costing taxpayers only 3.5 cents in the tax dollar, with state and federal governments accounting for 96.5 cents between them”.

Cr Celi said the shire council placed a “relentless focus” on innovation to meet rising community expectations and to respond to growth in demand for services due to population growth and changing demographics, without increasing the cost burden on ratepayers.

In a statement on shire’s website responding to the ALP proposals, the mayor said the peninsula also faced a greater exposure to the impacts of climate change than many other municipalities, so significant council investment in flood and fire prevention works must continue, she said.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire has had rate levels amongst the lowest in the state for more than a decade, and we are committed to keeping our rates as affordable as possible,” Cr Celi said.

“Growth in demand for ratepayer services and infrastructure is becoming greater and the Shire remains responsive by innovation in service delivery, increased use of digital technology including social media, and review and refinement of systems and processes across every activity undertaken by council.

“Through this response, the shire is able to deliver a high standard of services and infrastructure at rate levels among the lowest in the state.”

‘not sustainable’ more than 5.9 per cent. In effect you subsidise those who have been lucky and pay less.

The reason the government (not the council) requires rates to be based on the value of your property is because those who have the higher valued properties are considered to be better off financially and are able to pay more. This is often called social justice.

Although government directs that rates should be assessed on the value of your property it is the council which sets the amount you pay and the extent of the increase.

Research by the Mornington Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association has found that rate increases over the last decade have been approximately three-times higher than the increase in CPI and double the Municipal Association of Victoria’s estimate of the real increase in councils’ costs.

Both major political parties have expressed concern that the rate rise over the last decade has been excessive.

A recent survey by the Herald Sun’s found that 92 per cent of readers believed councils should be banned from increasing rates above inflation.

The Leader of the Opposition recently announced that “Labor will force councils to cap their rates at CPI and justify any further increases.

Councils wishing to raise their rates above CPI must appeal to the independent Essential Services Commission and justify any rate increases”.

No doubt this will bring a loud and angry response from the strong council lobby group but like the rest of us in the community and business they need to tighten their budget and become more efficient. The shire’s rate increases of the last decade simply cannot be sustained in future.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s stated policy is to lift rates by inflation plus 2 per cent. It has rarely followed this policy, with rates sometimes double or more the CPI.

Labor would require councils submit draft budgets to the ESC before they can be adopted.

This would ensure “that councils are properly managing their budgetary responsibilities, and not hitting ratepayers with unsubstantiated or excessive rate increases, Mr Andrews said.

State budget unveils plans for bus upgrade

By Chris Brennan THE Mornington Peninsula and Frankston fared well in last week’s state budget, however the knock-on effects of the Napthine government’s public transport overhaul looms as a potential vote loser for the Coalition.

There were few surprises for the peninsula in Tuesday’s budget announcement, with details of most big-ticket initiatives having already been revealed.

These included $6 million for bus infrastructure improvements works throughout the Mornington Peninsula and “significant” funding for permanent commemoration of the first shot fired in WW1 at Pt Nepean.

Other budget items set to benefit the peninsula include $81 million for the ongoing major expansion of Frankston Hospital, $12 million to improve the state’s boating infrastructure, $10.3 million for local ports maintenance and $3.4 million to upgrade and replace marine pollution equipment.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the Mornington Peninsula also had “a significant stake” in the $69.7 million provided for Victoria’s tourism industry.

“The Coalition’s investment in our local bus network will help make buses a faster, more efficient way for locals to travel,” Mr Dixon said.

“Works include a new bus interchange at Rosebud, new bus lanes and traffic light priority works at a major intersections and congestion hotspots as well as bus stop upgrades.”

However the biggest talking point to emerge for the region from the budget was the potential impact the Coalition government’s $11 bil-

lion Melbourne Rail Link project would have on Frankston line commuters.

Details of the government’s budget showpiece reveal that, under the plan, Frankston line trains would no longer travel to Richmond or the City Loop, with passengers instead forced to change at South Yarra.

The Labor Party candidate for Frankston, Helen Constas labelled the plan a “disaster”, claiming it would add an extra 20 minutes travel time each way for Frankston line passengers going to or from the city.

Mornington MP David Morris said the $6 million works package to upgrade bus infrastructure was a huge boost for the peninsula.

“Works will include the upgrading of 120 bus stops to be disability compliant, including the installation of tactile and concrete pants, and wherever necessary accessibility features, including foot paths and ramps,” Mr Morris said.

“The package also includes improvement works including bus lanes, and traffic priority works at major intersections at a number of congestion spots including Mornington.

Work will be overseen by Public Transport Victoria, in consultation with VicRoads and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, with construction to be completed by 2016.

The budget also includes funding of $759,000 for Moorooduc Primary School to undertake maintenance works identified in the government’s school building audit process. Mr Morris said he was extremely pleased that the maintenance package.

MP’s plea for road safety PRESSURE is mounting for an audible warning system to be added to pedestrian traffic lights at the intersection of Nepean Highway and Canadian Bay Rd. VicRoads has told Dunkley MP Bruce Billson there is nothing left in its budget for the year so the federal MP is now “pleading” with his state counterpart Mornington MP David Morris to do something about it.

Mr Billson said previous representations to VicRoads found “only a limited number of audio-tactile devices for signalled pedestrian crossings are funded each year and these seem to be predominantly in the inner–metro area”.

Mr Billson says problems for vision impaired people using the pedestrian lights are made worse by road noise.

He said Robert Spicer, who is vision impaired, had expressed concerns about safety when travelling around the Mt Eliza township and when crossing the Nepean Highway at Canadian Bay Rd. “I am calling for a pedestrian safety review at the intersection as pedestrian markings have been scuffed away and, due to the high volume of traffic, many feel their safety is compromised.

“In order to cross the road safely, pedestrians are being forced to use the Mt Eliza Way pedestrian bridge, which adds a lot of time and kilometres to a short journey.”

He said Mr Spicer, who uses his guide dog Kenji for daily shopping and banking, was too afraid to cross at the intersection without the help of his carer, Bernie Slagtman.

“Pedestrian signals are of no benefit to me when crossing the road but what

would be helpful is a clear sound or audio signal that conveys when it is safe to walk. It would also provide a huge boost for my independence and mobility,” Mr Spicer said.

VicRoads statistics show that in the four years to 2010, 67 per cent of fatal

and serious pedestrian incidents involved pedestrians crossing roads and 75 per cent of these occurred during the week.

“VicRoads has informed me that the full 2013-14 financial year budget allocation for pedestrian improvements

has been assigned,” Mr Billson said.

“I am pleading with Mornington MP David Morris, and VicRoads to review safety at this key Mt Eliza intersection to improve safety for pedestrians and road users.”

New direction for singers THE Southern Peninsula Singers grew out of the SPIC choir, a feature of Southern Peninsula life for 30 years.

The choir recently considered disbanding, but have found Antony Ransome, concert and operatic baritone with a 30-year European career, to conduct them and lead them in a new direction.

“I am keen to bring high-quality music to the Southern Peninsula by conducting the choir, organising chamber music concerts and programming classical music at RPP fm in Mornington,” Ransome said.

Ransome studied at Melbourne University.

After further studies in Geneva and a period as an Australian diplomat, he turned to a singing career in 1968. He appeared frequently on radio and television and in cathedrals, concert halls and opera houses throughout Britain and Europe, performing with such conductors as Sir Roger Norrington and Sir John Eliot Gardiner.

He was a frequent soloist in all of the major oratorios and gave many recitals with piano and with his Baroque ensemble the Wren Consort.

Based for 20 years in Germany, he sang over sixty roles in the operatic baritone repertory.

The Southern Peninsula Singers have discovered a repertoire they find highly rewarding, with two performances of Fauré’s Requiem a year ago and a full house at a nine lessons and carols service in St John’s Sorrento last Christmas.

That resulted in an invitation to give a program of Baroque choral music at St John’s Sorrento at 7.30pm on Saturday 17 May. The main work will be Vivaldi’s Gloria, followed by Bach’s Cantata No 158 and his Partita for solo flute. Music by Pergolesi and Handel will make up the program.

Entry is $25. Pay at the door or call 5984 3333.

Linked in ‘creatives’ get a heads up PENINSULA artists and “creative cultural producers” are being asked to share their experiences in the digital realm and discuss the challenges they face in accessing resources and connecting with the public at a community discussion meeting at Rye. The meeting, dubbed Arts Talk 2: Connect, Talk, Plan, has been organised by the shire council as part of efforts to develop an action plan to assist artists and build a thriving creating community on the peninsula.

Mornington Peninsula shire social media strategist and PR communications specialist Andrea Rowe of Your Coastal Connection will host Sunday’s conversation at Rye Community House.

Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi said feedback from artists would be used will to enhance professional development and mentoring, the sharing of resources, and to help build a greater sense of connection among artists and the wider community.

“Arts Talk 2 recognises Mornington Peninsula Shire’s commitment to build the creative capacity of our community, work together and promote the Mornington Peninsula as an arts and culture destination,” she said.

“Our arts and culture strategy strongly endorses initiatives that support local artists and we encourage southern peninsula artists to attend Arts Talk 2 to connect with other local artists, and learn more about promotion and engagement in the digital space.”

OVER the last four years, Rosebud house sales have reached record prices due to investors buying properties to rent or redevelop.

I live in Rosebud. Two years ago, at the last property revaluation, I was hit with a $100 increase in my rates. This year will probably be the same.

Our mayor, Cr Celi, states: “For some this means the welcome news that their property value and personal wealth has increased. However, for some, that also means that they will pay proportionally more in rates” (‘Volatile property prices set to impact rates’, The News, 29/4/14).

Well Cr Celi, the personal wealth may have increased due to revaluations, but ratepayers who actually live here like myself would have to sell our home to access this increased wealth.

The cost of living has increased dramatically! Mornington Peninsula Shire rates will increase 5.9 per cent next financial year, more than double the rate of inflation.

The municipal charge will remain at $180 for all rateable properties. This means that for my modest forty-year-old twobedroom home in Rosebud, I pay the same charge as the multi-million-dollar mansion in Portsea!

Why isn’t this in proportion?

Cr Celi also states the reason for such an increase is “that growth in demand for ratepayer

services and infrastructure is increasing”.

Isn’t that what we pay our rates for?

The Shire proposes to borrow another $2 million during the next financial year. As the cost of servicing the Shire borrowings of almost $38m will be approx.$2.5m, isn’t that robbing Peter to pay Paul?

The Shire has decided that it will more than double our existing borrowings in the next few years, not to increase ratepayers’ services but to spend on one large infrastructure project (the SPA) on the Rosebud foreshore.

This means that our future rates will be unaffordable to the majority of ratepayers.

Malcolm Campbell, Rosebud

Stop monkeying around on CCTV IT is disappointing to find the CCTV cameras in Hastings debacle and recreational vehicle laws (which are apparently on the Shire’s agenda) still stuck on a growing to do list.

The CCTV debacle started long before the events at the Jewel Shed last year. The CCTV cameras have been on the community’s agenda since before the state election campaign in 2010.

Our local MP Neale Burgess, and Shire councillor for Cerberus David Garnock have been pushing for these cameras since they were elected.

However, they and the community have been let down by United Energy, The

state government and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

No one genuinely cares what issues exist between these organisations. No one is interested in the soap opera this issue has become. Get on with the job of installing the much needed cameras!

Unfortunately, this soap opera has also engulfed the issue of recreational vehicle laws here in Mornington Peninsula Shire’s jurisdiction.

Given recent events, these laws are needed.

The Hastings Community Alliance was told in November these laws were meant to be implemented by the end of 2013.

In case no one at MPS HQ in Rosebud owns a calendar, it is now May 2014.

Whatever the delay is, can it be sorted as soon as possible, as no one wants to see a reoccurrence of recent events involving recreational vehicles (or monkey bikes).

Monkey bikes being ridden on public property is not just a community or parental issue, it is also a governmental issue.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

‘Ballochmyle’ “FAIR is the morn in flowery May, and sweet is night in Autumn mild” is one line from the 1786 poem “The Lass O’Ballochmyle” written by famous Scottish bard Robbie Burns. Although the work is about a beautiful Scottish maiden, it seems fitting that May and Autumn are the chosen month and season to bring this truly spectacular property - a beauty in its own right - to the market. Dating back to the 1870’s, Ballochmyle encompasses about 4-hectares and as a property is defined by the absolute privacy and beautiful wide open spaces. The main house is set towards the back of the block, and is accessed via a meandering tree-lined driveway, that snakes its way past a stunning ornamental lake. The driveway splits at one point and works its way up to a machinery shed, five-car garage and storage outbuildings in the far corner, but continuing on in the direction of the house, you pass a delightful gazebo and the sheer beauty of the home unfolds before you. A grand entry is resplendent underneath soaring 4.2-metre (14feet) ceilings with chandeliers and ceiling roses that are precise in every detail. Baltic pine polished floors lead past a dazzling formal lounge and dining room, with bedrooms two and three on the opposite side of the hall - the larger main bedroom has a sublime ensuite with feature leadlight windows. A spacious open plan kitchen and family area has a wonderful warmth to it with a combination of marble bench tops and rosewood timbers in the kitchen combining with a striking fireplace built from handmade bricks. From a sunroom you have access out to the entertainment area. Each room is so rich in individual character and detail, the old real estate cliché of ‘you must inspect to fully appreciate’ rings true. The external features to the property are as impressive as those found inside. From the entertainment deck you overlook a splendid in-ground pool with spa, there is also a pool house, and under the same roof line is a triple garage. A detached two-bedroom, two bathroom cottage is an absolute delight, and is positioned close to the full-size tennis court that is complete with flood lights.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mrs Swords turns 94, Ned Towers dies after “internal trouble” Compiled by Cameron McCullough From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 May 1914 Mr S. S. Price, surgeon dentist, will be at Nurse Jackson’s Private Hospital, Frankston on Sunday next (tomorrow.) *** The Book Committee of the Dromana Library have arranged with “Mullens” for a supply of new books monthly. *** Members and intending members of the Frankston Choral Society are invited to the annual meeting on Monday next at the Mechanics’ Hall.

A good programme, ping pong tournament, and supper. *** Major and Mrs C. W. Campbell returned to Amesfisld Park last Saturday after an interesting motor tour throughout Australia. We expect in a future issue to chronicle some in interesting particulars of the tour. *** An important unreserved clearing sale will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason at Ann Villa, Wells Street, Frankston on Wednesday next, 20th May, when they will offer the superior furniture etc of Mrs A. Harris, who is leaving the district. Full particulars are advertised. *** Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, For Coughs and Colds, never fails, 1s 6d. *** The well known business of Messrs A. Nunn and Sons, general merchants, of Mornington, has been purchased by Mr Higgs, of Melbourne, who intends carrying on the business under the same lines and with the

same staff as his predecessors, and the general public can depend upon receiving the same attention and courtesy as hither to. *** At the recent musical examinations for the degree of D.M.S.V., Miss Dorie Overton, pupil of Miss Olive Sherlock D.M.S.V., was successful in obtaining the highest honours out of over 200 competitors. Miss Sherlock is to be congratulated upon her student obtaining such a high degree of proficiency. *** At a meeting of the Board of Management of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home Mission held last week in Melbourne, Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, headed the poll, and was elected to the Council of the institution. We learn that Mr Jolly intends to move that a local committee be appointed to assist in the management of the Seaside Home at Frankston. *** The Dromana Presbyterian Church, which has been closed for a fortnight, has in the meantime been painted inside and out. The old residents will be pleased to hear that the Rev J. Barnaby, (who is a local product, and one of the foremost preachers in Melbourne), will conduct the reopening services at Dromana on Sunday next, morning and evening. A good congregation is expected. *** Mr Fred Taylor, the manager of the Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary Ltd has taken up his duties at the garage at Frankston. Extra cars are being installed by the company at Frankston, whilst a car will also be

stationed at Mornington and Chelsea respectively, and later on, other towns of the Peninsula will be given cars.

To the order of the company, two “Grant” cars are at present in transit to Australia. *** An American saloon worker was trying to persuade an Irishman to vote for the saloon by using the threadbare argument that if you close up the saloon and cut off the revenue, it will be necessary to close the public schools.

“And then what will your boy do for an education ?” “I’d rather have my born learn his A B C in heaven than to be able to read Latin in Hell.”

“Ned” Towers, who was a land holder in the Langwarrin district, and highly respected for his sterling worth and unassuming ways, died suddenly in Melbourne lately, having been unsuccessfully operated on for some internal trouble.

*** The second of the series of winter socials in connection with Frankston St. Paul’s Club was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Hall. The weather was rather boisterous which, no doubt, accounted for the rather small attendance.

*** “Ned” Towers, who was a land holder in the Langwarrin district, and highly respected for his sterling worth and unassuming ways, died suddenly in Melbourne lately, having been unsuccessfully operated on for some internal trouble. *** Mrs J. W. Swords, of “Victoria Villa” Dandenong, celebrated her 94th birthday lately. Born at Nenagh, Ireland, in 1820, Mrs Swords was married there to her late husband by the Lord Bishop of Killaloe 1840.

Soon afterwards the couple sailed for Australia, leaving Liverpool in the sailing ship Theresa, and arrived in Port Phillip after a trying voyage of six months. For several years she resided at Port and pulled the first impression of “The Port and Guardian”, the first newspaper published in Victoria, outside of Melbourne. Her late husband conducted “The Guardian” for some years. Messrs F. W. and H. Swords, of “The Dandenong Advertiser,” are sons. Mrs Swords is naturally becoming feeble, and the annual festival, which in the past was attended by a large gathering of relatives, was this year restricted to a small family reunion. Mrs Swords is a well known resident of the Frankston district, having resided here for a number of years, during which time she took a great deal of interest in school matters. *** A conference of representatives of the Progress Associations of the Peninsula was held at Bittern on Monday evening last. Delegates from the following associations were present:

Westernport, Mornington, Crib Point Bittern, Balnarring and Moorooduc. It was resolved that a federated association be formed, the objects being to support the development of railways, postal and telephone services, roads, water supply, foreshores, ports and harbours, etc. The following resolution was carried unanimously “That the federated progress associations emphatically protests against any departure from Admiral Henderson’s programme as affecting the Flinders naval base, such as the proposed deferring provision for floating dock, and the carrying out of repairs to destroyers at Williamstown, instead of at the base.” *** The football season opened in earnest in the Peninsula on Saturday last, when the weather was all that could be desired. At Somerville last year’s premiers were defeated by the home team after a strenuous match, while Dromana accounted for Frankston at Dromana. Tyabb were at home to Mornington, who defeated them by a substantial majority. Spectators should witness some interesting football before the season closes. *** Shire of Frankston and Hastings - Notice to ratepayers to pay rates. Ratepayers are hereby notified that, in order to be placed on this year’s Voters Roll, all Rates must be paid on or before 10th June. Interest at the rate of 6 percent will be charged on all accounts not paid on that date, and legal proceedings will be taken for their recovery without further notice. Dog fees and Pan fees must also be paid on or before 10th June.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

From boysenberry to men

By Stuart McCullough FROM a young age, I wanted to be older. I expressed this deep-held desire in a range of ways, including a brief period during primary school in which I dressed like a Cockney shoeshine, complete with flat-cap. I was, of course, a complete fraud. I may have looked like I could give your shoes a spit and polish at a moment’s notice but, in truth, I rarely cleaned my own shoes much less someone else’s. Besides, it’s hard to polish gumboots to a satisfactory standard. But I didn’t only dress as though I was much older; I frequently tried to eat beyond my years also. I have been making up for it ever since.

I am a hopeless sweet tooth. In fact, despite not being entirely straight and suffering a variety of flaws too numerous to mention, my teeth are possibly the sweetest thing about me. Not that it’s my fault. I come from a family of committed sweet teeth. Even my father, whose original teeth were replaced sometime back in the 1950s, still has a sweet tooth. It’s something that stays with you for life.

People commonly toss around the term ‘chocoholic’ lightly, as though it was some kind of joke but, frankly, those people have no idea what it is to be hopelessly enslaved to the brown stuff. Were I ever to win a Golden Ticket, I would have to be restrained.

Like Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, I would be bound in a straitjacket with a metal grill over my mouth and wheeled across the thresh-

old by Willy Wonka himself. Sadly, only that kind of brutal security would be enough to prevent me from going absolutely berserk from the first moment I set foot in the Chocolate Room.

Left to my own devices, I would surely make Augustus Gloop look like the very height of restraint as I guzzled, gulped and pretty much stuffed my face from a variety of angles until

being tasered by an Oompa Loompa.

But despite my fondness for the sweet stuff, when in public I was conscious of displaying restraint. I didn’t want the world at large to know that I had a sweet tooth that had managed to work its way through the rest of my body. When at a restaurant, my natural instinct would be to order chocolate spaghetti and hang the consequences.

As for choosing an ice cream, I would be drawn to the double chocolate fudge-tastic as surely as a mosquito to a blue light zapper. But despite these deep urges, I would resist. Instead, I would consciously select the most grown-up thing on the menu I could think of.

For decades, I chose things I wasn’t particularly interested in eating, all for the sake of creating the illusion of being more grown up. Generations of waiters and waitresses must have puzzled at the fact that I always looked slightly disappointed whenever I was served a meal. This was especially true of whenever our family went out and ate pancakes.

The restaurant had a kids’ menu full of wonderful pancake options, most of which lavished generous serves of chocolate in one form or another. I, of course, was duty bound to resist.

Instead, I trawled through the adult menu looking for something that suggested that I was deeply sophisticated and mature far beyond my tender years. For reasons that are now unclear, I thought that boysenberry sent just the right message.

Truth be told, I did not know then what a boysenberry was. It simply sounded exotic. I knew of no one who grew them and imagined that they were from some far-off land. It reminded me of the snozzberries on the lickable wallpaper in Willy Wonka’s foyer. I believed then that the boysenberry and snozzberry could well be related. In truth, a boysenberry is some-

FRANKSTON VFL DOLPHINS

thing of a mutant – a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. I’d even go so far as to say that the boysenberry is the ‘Liger’ of the berry world (ask Napoleon Dynamite).

Ironically, at that time blackberries were my sworn enemy. That’s because they grew in plague proportions down in the back paddock and I spent nearly ninety percent of my time – including when I ought to have been at school – pulling out thorny blackberry bushes with my bare hands. This accounts, I feel, for my present-day aversion to anything resembling manual labour.

But I was blissfully unaware that whilst I did battle with blackberries on a daily basis and regarded them as nothing more than a weed, I was ordering its illegitimate offspring on my pancakes in place of my one true love – chocolate.

I have long since given up pretending to be sophisticated. Once, I always wore a dinner suit complete with a bow tie to ‘casual clothes’ days. Now I’m unlikely to wear anything without an elasticised waist. Gone, too, is the desire to be older than I am. Time has taken care of that.

These days I am just as likely to order boysenberries as I am to dress like a Cockney shoeshine. My abiding affair with chocolate, however, continues unabated. It’s strange to see which things persist into adulthood and which things fall away. Boysenberries may come and go. Chocolate is forever. www.stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Doggies are the real deal PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Mornington proved it has taken the next step and is a real challenger for the 2014 Peninsula League premiership after smashing reigning premiers Edithvale-Aspendale by more than six goals.

Despite trailing by a point at the halfway mark of the clash, the Dogs booted nine goals to three in the second half to record a comfortable 18.13 (121) to 12.13 (85) victory.

It was a highly entertaining game. It was free flowing with plenty of skills on display.

The Doggies have been suspect when they have been challenged in the past but on Saturday, when the heat needed to be turned up, it was the home side that came to the fore.

The introduction of Dale and Danny Nolan into the team, along with man mountain Michael Gay, cannot be underestimated.

Dale Nolan has booted 13 goals in his past three matches, including five on the weekend. He has 17 for the season.

His brother Danny is controlling the engine room and is damaging when he runs forward also.

Danny Nolan has been in the best players three times in his five matches and has booted goals in all but one match.

Anthony Simpson was at his best for the Dogs on the weekend. Chris Paxino wound back the clock with a best on field performance and Chris Baker once again proved how valuable he is to this team.

Despite the experience and recruits, the Dogs also had the likes of teenagers Jake Smart and James Fletcher running around. Will Goosey wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be far away either. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice blend.

With wins against both grand finalists from last year, the Doggies now need to set new goals of finishing in the top three. Simply playing finals is no longer good enough for this team.

Bonbeach swung the ledger back into their own favour on Saturday when they held off a fast finishing Langwarrin to win a thriller 12.9 (81) to 11.11 (77).

The Sharks have won their past two matches against previously undefeated teams in YCW and now the Kangaroos.

They are starting to get all of their stars on the park together and they are beginning to have an impact on the contest.

On Saturday when the game needed to be won, Travis Johnstone stood up, along with Paul Rebeschini and Shane McDonald.

Matt Clifford was clearly the best player on the ground while Jackson Casey and Mark Tyrell were also dominant.

The Sharks lost Josh Bull early in the game, which meant all of the ruck duties were left up to Dylan Jones. Langwarrin also lost their number one ruckman Matt Naughton for most of the second half as a ruck option.

Langwarrin didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the front at any stage in the match, although they did draw level on several occasions.

Bonbeach kicked the first two goals of every quarter, except for the last, which always gave them a buffer.

The Kangas would fight their way back but the Sharks had the answers.

The home side peppered the goals in the last quarter (1.4 to 0.2) but just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get over the line.

Sean Herdman was very good for the Kangas with three goals while Liam Hogan did lots of work around the ball.

Skipper Scott Sienkiewicz was also dominant.

The experience of the Sharks, the confidence in their own ability and that

of their teammates and their composure under pressure couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be underestimated.

They won the contested footy and their work rate and intensity was high.

Langwarrin wanted to play fast flowing footy and Bonbeach wanted it in close. The difference in the end was that Bonbeach controlled the tempo of the game for longer periods. Langwarrin also lacks a big, strong forward.

Matty Dimkos is the answer there.

Frankston YCW bounced back on Saturday, getting the job done against a winless Seaford, 16.12 (108) to 9.8 (62).

The Tigers had lost three games by less than two goals leading up to this clash however, on Saturday, they just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get close enough to the Stonecats to strike, despite leading at the first change.

Jai Coghlan was arguably the best player on the ground while Lachy Wallace was a welcome return.

Ben Crowe was outstanding for the Tigers, while Dylan Crump was again in great form.

Karingal booted more than one goal for the first time in three matches on Saturday, kicking three against Pines.

The Bulls booted three goals in the

opening half and four in the second hour, however, still went down 7.6 (48) to 18.16 (124).

Shaun White booted five for Pines in a best on field performance while Luke Houldcroft, Dale Tedge and Jamie Messina with three goals were outstanding. Jack Wheeler also played his best game for the club.

George Angelopoulos, Brad Groenendyk and Michael Burke were the best of the Bulls.

It took until the last quarter for Mt Eliza to shake-off a persistent Chelsea on Saturday, eventually winning 11.20 (86) to 10.14 (74).

Despite having seven more scoring shots, the Mounties needed to boot five goals to three in the final term to get the four points.

Tim Strickland booted four goals in a match winning performance for the Redlegs, while Ben Lean and Sam Gill were also dominant.

Kristian Harper was named Chelseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best in only his second game while Zach Graham was outstanding his first senior game.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to like about the way Cheslea are progressing. The Redlegs on the other hand have a lot of work to do.

Teams announced for U-18â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interleague INTERLEAGUE

Sorrento juniors received a pleasant surprise last Thursday when they were joined at training by former Sorrento junior and Gold Coast Suns forward Tom Lynch. When asked by Sorrento Junior Football Club Football Operations Manager Gerard Goss if he could come down at some stage through the year to speak to the players, he offered his services immediately. It helped that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gossyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was at Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christening some 20 years ago. Gossy said it was a real buzz for the boys to train with someone a lot of them know who has gone on to bigger things.

By Toe Punt THE Under 18 interleague squads have been announced.

Red Hill, Dromana and Pearcedale were not represented in the Nepean League squad.

The Nepean Squad is: Rosebud: Jackson McRae, Jacob Hepner, Daniel Wilson, Keegan Downie Sorrento: Ethan King, Shannon Gladman, Danny Stephenson, William Harbinson Devon Meadows: Darcy Atkins, Kyle Salerno, Jake Smith, Jayden Sullivan Crib Point: Jayden Deas, Caleb Gray, Tyler Wilton Rye: Dekodda Thomson-Irwin Somerville: Chris Harris, Corey Dow, Travis Finn, Niall Young Frankston: Tyler Neal, Matt Windsor, Ben Sharman, Lachie Hunter Hastings: Wade Delahaye, Kayne Lewis Tyabb: Nick Taranto The squad has had one training session and three more will follow at Dromana over the next three

Wednesdays.

In Peninsula League, the squad will train at Chelsea for the next three Wednesday nights.

Pines is the only club that has not been represented.

The squad is: Langwarrin: Ryan Napier, Tyson MacDonald, Corey Hanger, Lochie Davies Edi-Asp: Ben Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Brad Walters, Liam Harris, Sean Fisher Bonbeach: Dylan Edwards, Brandon Sison, Ezekiel Turner, Jake Kmjaic Chelsea: David Mennhenitt, Daniel Aarsmann, Michael Hatzis, Matthew Silva Karingal: Brad Occohpinti, Jake Kelly, Bailey Frey, Travis Puntarioni Mt Eliza: Brodie Shaw, Nathan Ryan, Josh Curren, Anthony Cleary Mornington: Josh Halsall, Brett McCleary, Ryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell, Luke Stahl Seaford: Harley Cook, Johnathan Haidon, Matthew Pola, Matthew Herbert Frankston YCW: Jack Butland, Jack Greenwood, Brendan March, Sam Pickess, Ben Wagner.

Magpies keep flying high, remain undefeated NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB Point maintained its position as the only undefeated side in the competition with a 23 point victory over Rye in Nepean League football on Saturday.

The Pies were jumped in the opening term, trailing by 20 points at the first change, however as they have done so often in the opening five games of the season, they stormed back into the contest to lead at half time.

Glenn Boyd is really starting to find his mojo and he finished with four on the weekend for the Pies, while another recruit, Brad Arnold, played his best game for the black and white. Luke Herrington and Jon Flack continue to relish the fact that they are not the only players for the opposition to worry about these days. They were both outstanding, as was Jack Johnson, who booted three goals.

A four goal to three third quarter set up the win for the Pies, kicking 16 points clear before recording a 17.12 (114) to 14.7 (91) win. Accuracy in front of goal really did keep Rye in the contest.

Aaron Findlay made it eight goals in two matches for the Demons with another four on Saturday, while Matty Siberas, Ben Cain and Jai Lloyd were outstanding.

Rosebud is in a spot of bother after losing its fourth match for the season against Red Hill on Saturday.

The Buds led at quarter time by 22 points and by 15 points at half time.

However, Red Hill’s leg speed was the difference in the second half, booting eight goals to three to win 12.12 (90) to 11.3 (69). Twenty-five scoring shots to 14 for the match and 15 to four in the second half really did highlight the Hillmen’s domination after half time.

Jarryd Douglas booted four for the Hillmen while the leg speed of Dylan Neal was a highlight of the match. Peter Dal Lago and Jarred Eames also provided that high level experience when the game needed to be won.

Greg Bentley worked tirelessly for

the Buds, as did Sam Kremeich in a run with role, while Tom Baker was good up front with three goals.

The Hillmen maintained their second position on the ladder with four wins and one loss. Rosebud has slumped to ninth and is now two games and 30 per cent outside of the top five.

The Buds must win all of their next four matches against Tyabb, Devon Meadows, Somerville and Frankston Bombers to have any chance of playing finals football this season.

Somerville won its third straight game after a shaky start to the season, leading all afternoon to beat Devon Meadows.

The Eagles should have put the Panthers to the sword in the second quarter, however, kicked 3.7 to 3.2 to let the opposition off the hook.

However, the visitors dominated in the third term, booting 4.6 to 2.2 to set-up a match winning 22 point buffer at the final change.

The Panthers did come back in the final quarter however Somerville hung-on to win a low scoring contest, 10.18 (78) to 10.9 (69).

Josh Collie continued his brilliant form for the Eagles with three goals while Daniel Dickinson, Justin Allsop and Timmy Hirst were integral in the win.

James Bow was up to his old tricks with six goals for the Panthers, while Pat Harmes and Daniel Watson were also fine contributors.

In better news for the Panthers, Alex Doria, Stef Baumgartner and Brian Wapshot all played well in the reserves, while Beau Miller should be back this week or after the bye. The Panthers have also lured the mercurial Andre Young from Cranbourne, who will be important in the back half of the season.

Devon Meadows remains in the top five despite the loss.

A last quarter fade-out saw Hastings go down to Sorrento by 17 points at David McFarlane Reserve.

The Blues led by eight points at quarter time, two points at the main break and by three points at the final change.

However, with the home crowd on

their side, the Sharks dominated the final term, booting 4.8 to three goals to win 13.19 (97) to 11.8 (74).

Leigh Poholke made it 16 goals in two matches with seven goals on Saturday, while Trevor Mattison and James Hallahan once again set up the win with their run through the middle.

Dan Noble plonked himself as a permanent forward and was rewarded with five goals while Steven Robb finally got his opportunity after dominating in the reserves and was arguably Hastings’ best. Colin McVeigh and Daniel Wishart continued their brilliant starts to the season.

The Blues are only a game and three per cent outside of the top five.

Dromana continues to sneak under the radar, notching up its fourth win for the season, this time against Frankston Bombers.

The Tigers are in third place on the table however, with all the talk surrounding the new kids on the block in Crib Point and Red Hill, as well as the slump of Rosebud, people are not talking about Dromana.

On Saturday, the Tigers extended their lead at every change, winning 16.16 (112) to 7.17 (59).

Anthony Bruhn finished with seven goals for the Tigers while Daniel Guerts and Jack Fowler played integral roles in the domination.

Shaun Brand and Jeremy Waixel were the best of the Bombers, while Sam Drake was back and playing good footy.

In the final game, Pearcedale displayed some of its best football for the season, beating Tyabb 26.15 (171) to 14.12 (96).

In a free-flowing contest, the Panthers set-up the win with an 11 goal to one second quarter. They booted 12 goals to seven in the second half.

Basil Sibosado and Pat Cadd each finished with five goals for the Panthers while Troy Jacobson and Dylan Hoare were dominant.

Jake Anderson booted three goals and was Tyabb’s best player, while Shane Waterstone and Justin Volk were among their team’s best yet again.

Letting it slip: Hastings were defeated by Sorrento after leading at every change.
