Anti-Abbott beach rally

Sunday 28th August

THOUSANDS of Australians took to the streets on the weekend to protest against a range of Abbott government policies. In the case of peninsula residents, about 100 took to the sand of Safety Beach on a blustery Sunday morning for a rally organised just days before. “March in March” protesters voiced anger over the government’s inaction on climate change, the treatment of asylum seekers, marriage equality, the tax system, and media ownership. March in March organisers said many of the Abbott government’s policies were “against the common good of our nation”. “We have no confidence in policies that go against common principles of humanity, decency, fairness, social justice and equity, democratic governance, responsible global citizenship and conserving our natural heritage.” The “movement” started late last year on social media with the idea of marching on Parliament House but grew into a nationwide protest.

Beach sacrificed to jet skis By Mike Hast RYE’S beach and foreshore is being sacrificed for jet skis and boats by Mornington Peninsula Shire, says the town’s citizen lobby group Rye’s Up Community and Traders Association.

with this small number of blockages.” The association is also worried about how the $3 million boating precinct plan will be implemented. “The shire report cost $60,000 and was paid for by Boatsafe Victoria, and there might be Boatsafe or Transport Victoria money for launching ramps and parking, but the majority of work is unfunded and we have been told the council will approach the state government for funding,” he said. The association is worried that if the boating precinct plan was implemented in drawn-out stages, parking for cars without trailers would be drastically reduced.

Mr Trunfull said the plan recommended the construction of 30 extra boat and jet ski trailer spots, which would see a toilet block removed, the carnival site moved closer to the pier, and removal of the car park on the western side of the pier. “The proposed changes also will reduce the size of open space adjacent to the popular community-built playground.” The area is used for major public events such as carols by candlelight, Australia Day, and ethnic festivals, he said. “The report is silent on how these events will be accommodated.” Continued Page 7

Padua swimmers swamp opponents for 25th title THERE must be something in the water at Padua College’s three campuses that makes sporting champions. In the case of Padua winning another Southern Independent Schools Interschool Swimming Championships, it’s the students in the water. The swimming team, supported by the entire school community from campuses at Mornington, Rosebud and the new one at Tyabb, dared to dream of 25 wins in a row last week and achieved what could be an Australian record. Led by veteran swimming coach Colin “Shuggy” Shugg, Padua scored 828 points to top the overall aggregate at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, easily accounting for second placegetter Woodleigh on 592 points with Flinders Christian Community College third on 581. The college won in 1988, lost the next year and has now won for the past 25 years. Padua won all three aggregate age shields (junior, intermediate and senior) as well as aggregate girls and boys shields – a clean sweep. Principal Christopher Houlihan said Colin Shugg had led the team to all 25 victories, and congratulations were due to all swimmers, the coach, “our sports staff and all the families who helped get students to training and camp”. “Colin once again dedicated many hours to train and prepare the team, and deserves the credit for this formidable run of victories,” he said. Padua’s sports coordinator Emilio

Di Paolo said the college had held a swimming camp at Lake Hume a week before the championships for more than 20 years. “We have more than 60 students from years 7-11. It fosters great team camaraderie and may be a key ingredient to our ongoing success.” Mr Di Paolo said Colin Shugg’s children attended the college and

were members of the swimming team. “Shuggy stayed on after his children finished school and is another key factor in our success. He’s also a pretty good open water swimmer.” Swimming team members train two mornings a week at early morning pool sessions. The squad swimmers train up to five times each week.

(Faoro means “to make gold” in Italian.)

Cool rules on junior footy fields into junior ranks. In one ugly incident last August, a boy was punched during an under-14s final between Mt Martha and Somerville. Keep Your Cool co-chairperson Wendy Hanrahan said the idea began with casual conversations between parents watching their children play during last year’s finals. “We’d been witnessing some troubling behaviours on both sides of the fence and felt something needed to be done to address the aggression and ensure football remained fun and safe,” she said. “Children seem to feel pressured to go really hard and play aggressively, and this can sometimes spill over into actual violence, but there’s obviously

a big difference between professional AFL matches and under-10s. “There are different issues at each age level that need to be addressed and we want to change people’s perception of what is normal behaviour for junior players.” She said the Keep Your Cool program was not about trying to “take the football out of football”. “It’s a tough, physical game and everyone wants it to remain that way. “But it should also be safe and fun for children to play where fair play and true sportsmanship are the most highly valued qualities. “Aussie Rules is a fantastic sport; it encourages mateship, sportsmanship and builds leadership abilities, so we

By Chris Brennan AFL legend Lenny Hayes reckons Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League players are the coolest footballers in the land. The inspirational St Kilda midfielder and fellow AFL hard-nut Melbourne co-captain Nathan Jones have signed on as ambassadors to a unique program that aims to make the peninsula’s junior league a showpiece for fair play and sportsmanship.

Reef raiders: Fisheries officers measure and count abalone seized after being allegedly harvested by five men on reefs off Mt Eliza and Mornington.

Cars seized after abalone catches CARS and equipment were seized over the Labour Day long weekend when Fisheries Victoria officers swooped on men with illegal catches of aba lone taken from reefs off Mt Eliza and Mornington. At Mt Eliza, two men were arrested and charged over having 200 abalone, 148 below the legal size limit, and an undersized snapper. Three men were apprehended at Mornington for alleg edly taking 222 abalone. During the weekend, fisheries offic ers issued 20 infringement notices on the Mornington Peninsula for offences

that included exceeding catch limits, taking shellfish from intertidal zones, and taking undersize fish. Senior fisheries officer Rod Barber said a minority of fishers continue to flout restrictions. “Illegal fishers continue to run the gauntlet, risking jail sentences, forfei ture of expensive cars, boats and fish ing equipment, very heavy fines and penalties,” he said. Three Endeavour Hills men aged 30, 23 and 17 were arrested after allegedly being found with 222 abalone, includ ing 98 undersized, taken from reefs

off Mornington. Mr Barber said the three were interviewed at Morning ton police station and will be charged on summons with offences relating to the taking of a commercial quantity of abalone, exceeding the catch limit and taking undersized abalone. It will be alleged the men left two bags containing abalone in bushes to be picked up later. In a second incident, two men, a 29-year-old of Lynbrook and a 25-year-old of Cranbourne, were ar rested after allegedly taking 200 aba lone (including 148 undersized) and

one undersized snapper from reefs off Mt Eliza. The daily bag limit for abalone is five, of which no more than two can be greenlip. The minimum size for abalone taken from Port Phillip is 10 centimetres. “In both instances, all of the diving equipment and the vehicles used on the day were seized. The five men each face harsh penalties for abalone taken in excess of the catch limit and under sized,” Mr Barber said. “While the vast majority of fishers do the right thing, a small minority con

tinue to flout restrictions, risking harsh fines and threatening the sustainability of our fisheries for future generations. “The ramifications once caught are enormous for offenders and their fami lies. “Courts are imposing heavy fines and significant forfeitures and jail sen tences to send clear messages that this rampant disregard for Victoria’s valu able and important fisheries resources will not be tolerated.” Anyone seeing suspicious or illegal fishing activities can report it to the 13FISH hotline on 133 474.

EPA order on wine effluent discharge By Mike Hast THE Environment Protection Authority ordered Massoni Wines in Dromana’s industrial estate to repair and service its wastewater treatment plant after dark red effluent was allegedly re leased several times into a stormwater drain that runs into Sheepwash Creek. The order followed several complaints from Dromana residents mid-February that a factory in Brasser Ave was discharging a substance that had ended up in the creek. A spokesperson for the EPA said the wine company had completed maintenance on its plant in early March. Monitoring put in place would prevent further discharges. The factory’s treatment plant discharge diver sion valve was found to be defective and had allowed water used during wine production to escape into the stormwater system. Massoni Wines winemaker Phillip Kettle told

The News he would not disclose the company’s dealings with the EPA. “Look, we’re in the middle of pressing and all I want to say is that we comply with all govern ment regulations,” he said. The alleged discharges occurred at least twice during February when the flow of the creek was very low after several weeks of dry conditions. The discharge occurred less than 2 kilometres from the mouth of the creek where it runs into Port Phillip at Safety Beach. It entered the creek via a stormwater drain near the corner of Collins Rd and Mornington Peninsula Freeway’s bridge over Nepean High way. One of the complainants, who did not want to be named, said it appeared a large volume of red wine-coloured waste had ended up in the creek. “At this time of year when flow rates are low, the waste stayed in the creek, causing an intense smell and probably damaging any aquatic life.”

The next rain event would wash the waste through residential areas and then into the bay at Safety Beach. “This is at least the third such discharge in the past 6 months. “The EPA said such material could not be re leased without approved primary treatment.” Sheepwash Creek was in the news last year when Peninsula Waste Management wanted to turn the old Pioneer quarry on Arthurs Seat escarpment into a rubbish tip. The creek starts near the quarry and tip objectors were worried about polluted water from the tip entering the creek. Soon soon after the EPA knocked back the tip plan last September, a Sheepwash Creek Land care group was formed to improve the area. Water to whine: Waste from production of red wine at a factory in Dromana industrial estate entered Sheepwash Creek via a stormwater drain.

Club swells peninsula’s surfing history PENINSULA Surfriders Club is planning a “spectacular event” to celebrate its 40th anniversary later this month. Secretary Jane Featherston said the club had cultivated a “rich history of surfing life throughout the Mornington Peninsula”. Peninsula “surfing pioneers” Ted Bainbridge, John Wilson, Skip Easton, Mick Pearce and Michael Schaeffer had officially started the club at a committee meeting held behind a surf shop in Frankston. “At the time, in the early 1970s, there was a growing group of surfers on the peninsula who were becoming a force to be reckoned with in Victorian surfing,” she said. This “force” from the peninsula started in 1972 when Mick Parkinson of Blairgowrie won the Victorian junior title. He was followed the following year by Ian Portingale – and Carol Watts won the women’s title. “In 1974 we had Ian first and Phil Trigger second in the Victorian open men’s event, which was a huge effort,” Ms Featherston said. “Carol won the women’s again. Rob Licciardo won the juniors in 1975 and Warren Partington the senior men’s title.” Ms Featherston said the club’s strength was proved again in 1976 when Portingale and Phil Trigger “did a one-two again in the open men’s” and its juniors took out the first three places at state titles: Kelly Pritchard, 1; Gary Burns, 2; and Ian Cochrane, 3. The same year Alan “Wally” Tibballs won the Easter Bells trials event.

Wave master: Garry Taylor and the style that saw him made Peninsula Surfriders Club champion 11 times.

Mick Pierce won in 1977 and Ian Cochrane won the juniors that year with Phil Coates in 1978 and ’79. In 1986, Garry Taylor won the Easter Bells trials event. “Before PSC started there were no regular peninsula surfers who attained such high positions in Victorian contests. There were plenty from northern bayside suburbs, but they all surfed the Torquay area,” Ms Featherston said. “Now, 40 years later, after thousands of memberships, PSC

has grown and evolved to be one of the most respected and successful surfriding clubs in Australia. Friendships and families have been built on mutual lifetimes spent in the waves around the peninsula, and the world.” All past and present members of the club, their families and friends have been invited to celebrate its 40th from 2pm at the clubhouse, 691 Truemans Rd, Fingal (near Gunnamatta) on Saturday 22 March. Entry is $10. Keith Platt

Beach battle: Rye’s Up Community and Traders Association says the shire council is favouring tourists and their jet skis over locals with its $3 million plan for the town’s beach and foreshore.

Beach sacrificed to jet skis Continued from Page 1 Last year, the shire’s coast strategic planner, Virginia Brook, told councillors the plan was a response “to the state government’s Boating Coastal Action Plan, which identifies the Rye boat ramp as suitable for upgrade from a district to a regional facility on the basis of significant seasonal demand and its character as a popular holiday destination”. She said it had been developed in consultation with the community, agencies and other stakeholders. “The plan provides for the upgrade of boating facilities, improved traffic management and parking, enhanced recreational and amenity services, and for event and community group use.” The plan would “increase the capacity of the

foreshore to cater for a range of formal and informal recreational uses within defined precincts; maximise opportunities for revegetation and conservation outcomes in defined revegetation zones; and provide defined areas for recreational camping on the foreshore”. Ms Brook said funding for stage 1 may be available from the state government but the “development of detailed plans and further implementation would be subject to review through council’s normal budgetary processes”. Mr Trunfull said the plan did not “address the needs of the majority of the Rye community who have been trying for a number of years to see the Rye Foreshore Management Plan (2008) implemented.”

Farm gate guide aims to provide food security By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has launched a farm gate guide showing easily accessible sources of cheap and fresh produce to help combat growing food insecurity in the community. The initiative comes in response to rising concern among social service providers and health professionals that an increasing number of families are being forced to go without basic necessities including fresh food. The shire is in the process of producing a food security booklet and strategy to better connect disadvantaged people to local produce. The peninsula is well known for fresh produce, but a Victorian Population Health Survey found 8.7 per cent of residents experience food insecurity, compared to a state average of 5.6 per cent. A number of social service providers on the peninsula have begun offering free fruit and vegetables to families in need while several “soup kitchens” providing free meals have sprung up. Lisa Gray of the shire’s health and wellbeing team said the farm gate guide aimed to connect residents with local producers, community gardens and food security programs. She said food security existed when “all people at all times have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs as well as food preferences for an active and healthy life”. “People who live with food insecurity are those who are restricted to easy access to affordable, healthy food and sometimes go without any food at all,” she said. “The reasons behind this vary, but may include a lack of transport, high density of fast food restaurants, low density of fresh food producers, and poor education about healthy food.” The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said access to

Food for thought: Cr Antonella Celi and the shire’s director of sustainable communities Rob MacIndoe launched the Farm Gate Guide last week.

“fresh, local, affordable food is essential to good health”. “Food insecurity is an issue than can affect a range of people, for many reasons, and the shire is committed to working toward connecting local people to local food,” she said. Cr Celi said the shire would continue to work with farmers, community groups, welfare organisations and community gardeners to ensure all residents could access fresh, healthy and affordable food all year round. The Farm Gate Guide is available from shire offices, community centres and neighbourhood houses, and can be downloaded from the shire website at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au For more information about food security on the peninsula, email lisa.gray@mornpen.vic.gov. au or call 5950 1686.

THE announcement the new environmental workforce for 18-25 year olds – the “green army” – will not be covered by workers’ compensation schemes is worrying for people who care about consequences of workplace injuries. Under usual work arrangements, employers are required to ensure employees are protected by a workers’ compensation scheme, and health and safety standards. We are very concerned that members of the green army will not be protected in the same way as other workers. The young workers will undertake heavy manual labour including clearing creeks and waterways, fencing and tree planting – work that carries a high level of physical risk. If young workers are injured and not covered by a compensation scheme focused on early intervention and returning employees to work, there is a risk that if they suffer a serious injury without help, they may not return to work. If state and federal governments are serious about providing these young workers with a fair and reasonable opportunity to join the workforce, they should work together to provide them with the same workplace injury protection as other employees in Australia. Rachael James, Slater & Gordon senior lawyer

Appeal thanks

ON behalf of Southern Peninsula Food For All, albeit belatedly, I extend sincere thanks to residents for their magnificent support of our Christmas appeal. Putting a cash value on the donations of food and toys, we were able to exceed our target of $55,000. We received toys worth $19,000. This included toys worth $4000 donated by bikers on the Peninsula Toy Run. Cash raised by 450 riders was just on $6000. Residents gave $9060 in cash. We received a record 453 hampers with toys for 600 children. Sadly, this reflects the steadily increasing financial pressure on a large number of families. In 2013 we had requests for 2690 food parcels. We also need support during the year. Cash donations can be sent to PO Box 440, Rosebud 3939. Donations over $2 are tax

deductible. Food may be left at any church on the southern peninsula. Ken Northwood, president Southern Peninsula Food For All

Help needed

WE have a homeless person sleeping rough on the foreshore at Rosebud and the solution presented by Mornington Peninsula Shire has been to give him plastic bags to keep his area clean. I informed Cr David Gibb about this unfortunate person in last November. He told me a shire officer had the situation in hand. I have not heard from Cr Gibb since. Police and welfare agencies say their hands are tied if he refuses accommodation. Meanwhile, one of our group was told by a council worker not to venture into the area as the man could become violent. In this day and age, this situation should not be happening. Come on Cr Gibb and the council, pull your respective fingers out and help this poor man get back some dignity. John Cain, McCrae

Plover trouble

THE breeding season of the endangered hooded plover is almost over and the result is the worst for 20 years. Just one chick is alive after nearly 100 eggs were produced and it has yet to take to the skies and is still at risk. Fewer than 600 hooded plovers are left in Victoria yet dogs are still allowed on beaches in Mornington Peninsula National Park where the birds breed and where people frequently let their dogs off lead, which is illegal. Dogs have been seen to run down and kill chicks, most publicly on a Sorrento beach in late 2012 when a labrador killed a chick that was one week short of being able to fly. Environment Minister Ryan Smith and the CEO of Parks Victoria have their heads well and truly in the sand by ignoring the dangers dogs pose to native species such as the plover.

DRIVERS with outstanding fines have no place to hide – authorities now know where they will be. Hi-tech equipment is being used to track down serial fine evaders. Police and sheriff officers set up a roadblock on Rutherford Rd onramp at EastLink tollway in Carrum Downs on a Wednesday morning earlier this month in the expectation of nabbing some big fish. The operation paid off. A driver was caught with 445 outstanding warrants totalling just under $125,000. His four-wheel drive was impounded and towed away. Victorian sheriff Brendan Facey said data analysis found 33 people with outstanding warrants used the Rutherford Rd access road regularly. “Some people are using toll roads every day and refusing to pay their

tolls, building a huge debt from the fines they are ignoring,” Mr Facey said. Sheriff officers recovered $27,710 as a result of the roadblock. Thirtysix fare evaders with 1047 warrants owing $312,974 were pulled over. “This operation should serve as a warning to other fine evaders that we are looking to target people where we know they are,” Mr Facey said. Six cars were clamped with all but one of the owners making immediate payments to ensure they could drive on. Motorists can call 1300 SHERIFF to discuss outstanding fines. Sheriff’s officers have powers to suspend driving licences and registration, clamp cars, seize property and arrest people.

Baxter Boxster burnout turns into costly affair By Chris Brennan A PORSCHE-driving hoon narrowly escaped a bill of almost $15,000 when police impounded a high-performance hire car after catching the driver doing burnouts in Baxter on Monday last week. The 30-year-old Queensland man was on holiday in Melbourne with his partner and had hired the late-model black Porsche Boxster 987 at a weekend rate of $1000 a day to explore the Mornington Peninsula. Frankston highway police spotted the Porsche spinning its wheels on Moorooduc Highway, near Sages Rd, just after 10am. They intercepted the driver and were set to impound the vehicle for 30 days under anti-hoon legislation.

Clamp down: Sheriff officers confiscated the car of a motorist who owed almost $125,000. Picture: Gary Sissons

However, the following day police returned the rental car to the hire company. Melbourne’s Sports Car Rentals hires the $100,000-plus Porsche at $495 a day and the Queensland driver would likely have had to pay the rate in full over the 30-day seizure period. Police said the driver was expected to be charged on summons with a range of offences, including driving in a manner dangerous, careless driving, improper use of a motor vehicle, and excessive speed. Not so lucky was a 20-year-old man whose Holden ute was impounded after exceeding the speed limit by more than 30km/h in Tooradin last Friday week. Police detected the ute travelling at 130km/h in a 100 zone on the South Gippsland Highway.

The ute was impounded and the driver found to be driving while disqualified and driving a prohibited vehicle. The Tooradin man is expected to be charged on summons. Another driver was clocked travelling at more than double the speed limit in Seaford last Monday in an unsafe and unregistered vehicle. Police were parked on Seaford Rd about 9pm when they detected the Holden station wagon travelling in excess of 135km/h in a 60 zone. Police discovered the car had an under-inflated tyre and three wheels had several wheel nuts missing. The 41-year-old Frankston North driver had his car impounded for 30 days and faces charges of driving at a dangerous speed, using an unsafe vehicle and driving an unregistered vehicle.

Spectacular villa by the sea SET to exceed all your expectations and desires, this luxurious beachside villa inspires the senses with glorious views encompassing the Melbourne city skyline and across to the You Yangs, and inland to the Dandenong Ranges. The sparkling in-ground pool and limestone facade complement each other beautifully and instantly conjures up images of grand Mediterranean villas. Here, lucky owners can enjoy the sun and coastal atmosphere from the privacy of two alfresco entertaining areas; one is just mere steps from the pool, and the second has the best of the views with a breathtaking view of Port Phillip Bay. The ground floor features three bedrooms and two bathrooms - one is an ensuite, shared between two bedrooms - and a stylish family room has gleaming tiled floors. The wonderful blue view through the windows creates an unbeatable all-natural colour scheme against the crisp white finish. Upstairs, polished floor boards feature throughout an open-plan living zone incorporating a kitchen, dining area, and a lounge. The glamorous kitchen has stone benchtops, a stainless-steel under bench oven, and a full complement of cupboards and drawers for storage options galore. Bi-fold concertina doors open to the deck area that increases the living space considerably. The main bedroom has a lovely dressing room and ensuite, and a fifth bedroom has a walk-in robe. There is also a separate study, which could be a staggering sixth bedroom if required, a guest bathroom with spa, and a brilliant home theatre room which completes this truly feature packed home that measures well over 450 square metres (60-squares).

Nipper learn lesson: let sleeping seals lie NIPPERS from Dromana Bay Life Saving Club had an unexpected visitor at training on Saturday last week – an Australian fur seal. The adult seal showed interest in the youngsters soon after they left the water for lunch. It plunged into Port Phillip and showing a few slick swimming moves, much to the kids’ delight. The mammal’s appearance gave adult lifesavers a good opportunity to tell the children about safety around seals. Club president Sandra Vander Pal said it was not rare for seals to haul up on Dromana beach and the club had previously erected a warning sign provided by Parks Victoria. “We notified Parks and a ranger is dropping off a sign as the one we had was souvenired by someone last time,” she said. The final training session for the club’s 80 nippers was held on the weekend. The seal was still on the beach on Saturday afternoon. A spokesman for the Department of Environment and Primary Industries said seals were becoming a regular sight along Victoria’s coast especially on the beaches of the southern peninsula because of the seal colony at Chinaman’s Hat off Rye. The rules at a glance: n Stay 30 metres away from a seal on land whether you are also on land or in the water. n Dogs are not permitted within 50 metres of a seal on land. n Do not approach within 5 metres of a seal on a boat ramp, pier or other human-made structure. n Dogs must not enter the water within

150 metres of a dolphin, 300 metres of a whale or 50 metres of a seal. n It is illegal to touch or feed a seal and people can be fined. “Seals and dogs don’t mix. If you are walking your dog, keep it at least 50 metres away from seals,” the DEPI spokesman said. “This will reduce stress on the seal and reduce the chance of your dog getting bitten or contracting a disease. Dogs can also transfer diseases to seals. “Never attempt to feed seals. They can quickly become dependent on humans, and in some situations can become a nuisance or even dangerous. “Feeding fish scraps to seals at boat ramps can result in people getting bitten and the animal having to be euthanased.” DEPI says seals often lie on beaches or other areas to rest or moult. “Sometimes they look injured but seals secrete a watery substance from their eyes that is often mistaken for crying or an injury. It is a natural mechanism to protect their eyes. “Seals are also regularly bitten or scratched by other seals. The wounds heal quickly and don’t need human help.” DEPI has a brochure about seals on its website (www.depi.vic.gov.au) or call 136 186. Seriously injured or entangled seals can be reported to DEPI on 136 186. For veterinary advice, Melbourne Zoo can provide assistance on 9285 9300.

Bandicoot corridor plan axed By Mike Hast THE state government has removed habitat corridors from its plans to protect the iconic southern brown bandicoot in the southeast. Conservationists were told about the backflip two weeks ago at a meeting with Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) officers. It is understood a proposal to create two habitat corridors, or biolinks, centred on the Royal Botanic Gardens at Cranbourne has been dumped from the final version of the Sub-Regional Species Strategy for the Southern Brown Bandicoot, issued as a draft for public comment in late 2011. One biolink was meant to run from the botanic gardens south to Western Port’s Quail Island, where there is a viable population of more than 1000 bandicoots after fox and cat removal in recent years. The second was to connect the botanic gardens with Koo Wee Rup swamp and surrounds, where “tens of thousands of bandicoots live near drains, waterways, railway line reserves and on private properties”, according to peninsula wildlife expert Mal Legg. The government’s move has disappointed the Southern Brown Bandicoot Regional Recovery Group and other conservationists in the region, and led to speculation that housing estate developers have put pressure on the government. It also inspired the creation last week of an online petition addressed to federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt, who receives an email from every per-

son who signs. The petition was created by Friends of the Southern Brown Bandicoot member Sarah Maclagan, an environmental sciences PhD student at Deakin University. Ms Maclagan has been studying the region’s bandicoots for several years and is co-chair of the bandicoot recovery group along with veteran scientist David Nicholls. The petition – “Don’t strand the bandicoot; put the corridors back!” – states that the recent expansion of Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) “threatens to surround the crucial southern brown bandicoot population at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Cranbourne and cut connectivity with other populations nearby”. Ms Maclagan said the government’s strategy was meant to protect sustainable bandicoot populations “within and adjacent to growth areas, with connectivity between populations” as well as “protect and enhance all populations, including at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne”. “We’re very disappointed corridors have been removed from the final document,” she told The News. “Without corridors, connectivity between bandicoot sub-populations will be severed by an impenetrable barrier of urban development. “The chance of local extinctions of this endangered native mammal become much higher.” She said the petition to Mr Hunt was “our one and only opportunity to provide corridors. Once development has occurred, there will be no going back”. State government plans to expand

the UGB triggered the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, Ms Maclagan said. “Mr Hunt has to sign off on the state government changes and that’s why we are asking him to force the government to reinstate habitat corridors”, including those planned for the Botanic Ridge subdivision near the Cranbourne botanic gardens. Ms Maclagan said DEPI officers questioned the use of biolinks “but we have evidence they do work”. It was disappointing DEPI was fo-

cused on so-called “managed translocations” – capturing animals and moving them to other locations, she said. “For example, the translocation of the threatened eastern barred bandicoot to French Island was a total failure,” she said. “All that bandicoots need to survive and thrive is viable habitat protected from dogs, foxes and other predators.” She said bandicoot were prolific breeders. “The young spend just 12 days gestating and are self-sufficient after two months. Females have be-

tween two and five babies in each litter.” Ms Maclagan questioned the state government’s habitat protection fee. “The 2011 document stated developers would be charged $6000 to $8000 per hectare to fund the bandicoot protection strategy. This has been reduced to just over $4000 for a hectare that is worth more than $800,000 to developers; that’s half of one per cent.” n  The bandicoot petition for Greg Hunt is at: http://chn.ge/1mhaxB8

Time to fence Pines Reserve says scientist

Action needed: Hans Brunner says it’s time to erect predator-proof fences in Pines Reserve.

e ars ! v ha Ye nce e e W r 30 eri e xp ov f e o

By Mike Hast FRANKSTON forensic zoologist Hans Brunner says the state government dumping plans for habitat corridors for the southern brown bandicoot means predator-proof fences should be built around Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve in Frankston North. The fences were part of Linking Melbourne Authority gaining state government permission for Peninsula Link to bisect the reserve. They were removed from freeway plans by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (now Department of Environment and Primary Industries or DEPI) in 2012. Mr Brunner has consistently said that as long as dog walking was permitted in the reserve and predator-proof fences were not erected “all is lost for the bandicoots”. In 2012, DSE/DEPI said no evidence of bandicoots in the reserve had been seen since summer 2009-10 but Mr Brunner said two bandicoots were

spotted late last year. “The bandicoots are now entirely dependent on intense fox control, which I believe is extremely difficult in the presence of pet and farm dogs, where poisoning cannot be used,” he said. “Where traps have to be set to avoid dogs, they will also avoid foxes.” Mr Brunner said the government’s consultant had recommended a network of corridors in the 2011 draft that was “clearly open for harsh criticism and demanded a proper review” but “scrapping corridors all together has gone too far”. “This scenario has rekindled the now more desperate need for a predator-proof fence around Pines Reserve where bandicoots can be properly protected as they are at the botanical gardens at Cranbourne,” he said. Mr Brunner said the Peninsula Link builder had spent $20 million on revegetation and underpasses in Pines Reserve – four culverts and a two-span

bridge – specifically designed for bandicoots. Two drainage structures were also designed to allow crossing by wildlife. “Southern Way allocated $1.6 million to erect and maintain fences in Pines Reserve to protect bandicoots and other native animals,” he said. “The irony is the state government agency Parks Victoria wants that money for the protection of bandicoots in the very area where they abandoned the corridors in order to make room for urban development. “To make the bandicoots absolutely secure must be the ultimate priority. The former DSE allowed eastern barred bandicoot numbers drop to only 40 animals before panic set in. Extinction was so close. “Now they are gambling with the southern brown bandicoot.”

Bowling along to a record

Sporting chance for elite athletes YOUNG Mornington Peninsula athletes and sport teams are invited to apply for grants of up to $3000 to help cover the cost of competing in elite-level events. The Local Sporting Champions grants program is designed to provide support for young people to participate in state, national and international sporting championships. The federal government grants program, also open to coaches and officials, provides funding toward the cost of travel, accommodation, equipment and uniforms. Grants of $500 are available for individuals and $3000 for teams. Flinders MP Greg Hunt said the costs associated with competing at elite sporting events could be significant and the grants aimed to ease the financial burden and make it easier for young athletes to go further in their chosen sports. Applicants must be between 12 and 18 in the year of the competition. This funding round close June 30 and forms be received before the competition start date. Visit www.ausport.gov.au for more information. Six athletes and two sporting clubs from the Flinders electorate have already received grants during the last round of the program, announced last month. Individual recipients of $500 grants included: basketball players Tristan Lloyd, 15, of Cowes, and Tyson Carr, 12, of Pearcedale; cross-country runner Kayla Cheasley, 16, of Somerville; fencer Lily Baker, 12, of Mt Martha; softballer Chantelle Spencer, 18, of Pioneer Bay; and equestrian rider Stephanie Ivanovic, 12, of Moorooduc. Peninsula sporting clubs awarded $3000 grants included Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club and the Victorian under-16 polocrosse team, which is based in Moorooduc. Chris Brennan

FRANK Peniguel is out to set a record by travelling around Victoria playing bowls. The 70-year-old, left, has given himself a year to play 600-900 games on different greens to join the holders of Guinness World Records. Last week he was in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula – Rosebud and Dromana on Tuesday, Mt Martha and Mornington on Wednesday, and Frankston South (Yamala Park) and Frankston on Thursday. Peniguel joined Elsternwick Bowls Club in 2005 and left his Daylesford home in his Kombi van on 9 January to set a world record. He will play 10 ends against one bowler from each of the clubs he visits. Distance is the only thing keeping him away from the Northern Territory and Western Australia. “It’s just too far between clubs and I need to play all games within one year,” Peniguel said on Wednesday after playing his 100th game at Dromana. He was also lining up some expert help to enable him to upload photos to his website, hittheroadjack.net.au Keith Platt Picture: Yanni

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Respected resident departs; fire brigade thanked with donations Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 March 1914 MR Andrew McLellan, a highly esteemed and popular resident, was on Saturday night last entertained by the townspeople of Mornington in the Mechanics Institute, and presented with a handsome writing desk and a valuable Rotherhain gold watch, suitably inscribed. Cr J. D. Grover (president of the Shire) presided, and spoke in glowing terms of their honoured guest, who was leaving Mornington to go into business with his brother, Mr Adam McLellan, M.L.A., of Melbourne. The Hon A. Downward, M.L.A., Mr W. S. Cook, Crs T. Male, A. E. Bates, and other prominent residents expressed regret in losing such a highly esteemed and popular citizen, and, as one speaker remarked, Mr McLellan was looked upon as the father of Mornington, for in sickness or in trouble his services were always sought and cheerfully given, and in every public movement, Mr McLellan was ever foremost. *** THE secretary of the Frankston fire brigade desires to acknowledge with thanks, donations of £6.3s from Sir John Madden, and £1 from Mr Plummer towards the funds of the brigade. The above gentlemen are highly pleased with the assistance rendered by the brigade during the recent fires. *** OWING to pressure of our space we are compelled to hold over several contributions to our letter box, and other items of interest. *** A FIRST class concert in aid of the

PAGE 30

funds of the Frankston Brass Band, will be held in the Mechanic’s Hall on Wednesday next, March 25th. During an interval, the balance sheet of the band for the past 12 months will be submitted. *** THE committee formed at the last Water Conference to go into the question of rating met on Friday last, and their report will be submitted at the next conference. The report of the engineer is now prepared, and copies will be printed for distribution before the next conference is held. *** THE fifteenth half yearly meeting of the Langwarrin Progress Association was held in the vestry of the Methodist church on Monday evening, March 9th. There was a fair attendance of members and the president Mr J. Archibald occupied the chair. The report for the half year was a very satisfactory one, and showed that good work had been carried out by the working bees, lectures had been arranged for and given by Mr Rintoral, the English poultry expert, on matters of great importance to poultry keepers, and by Mr C. D. Sampson, the American fruit packing expert, on the successful packing and marketing of fruit. A very enjoyable social was also tendered to Cr Lloyd to celebrate his return for the third time as the representative of this district in the Cranbourne shire council. Other matters of importance to the district had also been attended to, and altogether the work carried out by the association showed that it was a valuable factor in the district. So much so that it was imperative that everyone in

Southern Peninsula News 18 March 2014

the district should join and help on materially the good that was being done. Owing to four members having left the district, the membership had declined to that extent. The balance sheet showed that a good amount had

It is with much pleasure that I can now announce that the letter box at the Langwarrin Railway Station will shortly be cleared at 5:30 p.m by the guard of the train running through at about that time. been expended for the term, leaving a small credit balance. The election of officers resulted as follows:- President, Mr J. Archibald. Vice president, Mr H. Oates. Hon. Secretary, Mr C. W. Murray. Treasurer, Mr P. J. Murray. Committee: Mr C. J. Corlett. Mr J. Corlett, Mr Eliott. Mrs W. Oates, Mr A. J. Clarke, Mr S. Lloyd, Mr C. Stowe. Auditors: Messrs A. J. Clark

and J. Corlett. Mr Archibald and Mr Murray were highly complimented on the successful manner in which each had carried out their respective duties for the term and the President suitably responded. A coffee supper provided by the ladies, and to which full justice was done, brought the proceedings to a close, not, however, before a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the ladies for so thoughtfully providing the supper. *** THE anniversary services of the Methodist church were celebrated on Sunday March 15th, and the two services held in the afternoon and evening were especially well attended. The Rev Copeland conducted the afternoon service and Mr E. J. Stranger, the evening. Both to an appreciative congregation. On the following evening, Monday, a very enjoyable concert was held, performers for which not only embraced local talent, but also 6 visitors from Melbourne, Frankston, and Cranbourne. *** IT is with much pleasure that I can now announce that the letter box at the Langwarrin Railway Station will shortly be cleared at 5.30 p.m. by the guard of the train running through Langwarrin to Melbourne at about that time. This will prove a great boom to all residents, thanks for which will be gratefully felt by the humble person, who contributes voluntarily most of the items of this districts news, and for which he sometimes receives more kicks than coppers. *** THE Somerville Show was formally

opened by Sir Frank Madden, who, while expressing the great pleasure it gave him to be present, said that he was amazed to see the improvement in the district. There had been a marvellous development on the best lines, and Somerville had made its name known all over the world. There was more to be done, however, and he advised the younger fruitgrowers to find out every possible wrinkle regarding the growing of fruit, the markets. etc., and told them not to stop till they were at the top. It gave him pleasure to declare the show open, and he wished it every success. *** ON Saturday next, the French Island Cricket Club will visit Tyabb, and try conclusions with the local team. The secretary would like as many of the local ladies who can attend in the afternoon, and kindly assist with the serving of afternoon tea. *** I WISH to endorse all the recommendations made by “Fair Play” in your last issue. The Eramosa road is certainly a disgrace to the Shire and the Councillors. It may interest a few of your readers to know that there were only two loads of metal put on one mile of this road during the past two years, which I think constitutes a record for a main road. A better system for the inspection of the roads ought to be made. I will readily offer my services to take the Councillors along this road in a cart, dray, or wagon, on a tour of inspection, but not in an automobile as it might strain its mechanism trying to force its way through the impassable wastes.

Mistaken for The National’s Matt Berninger By Stuart McCullough ART-ROCK ensemble R.E.M. once opined: “That’s me in the corner.” When it comes to attending live music events, not only am I invariably in the corner, but way up the back, wedged against a vending machine and stuck behind someone who’s much taller. Live music is a wonderful thing, but sometimes the idea of seeing a band live doesn’t quite match the actual experience. That’s because seeing a band is an exercise in faith. You go in the hope that it might be an exhilarating, life-changing experience. Mostly though, it’s a really late night from which it takes you the rest of the week to recover. I was in a band before I really started seeing them. At thirteen, I played synthesiser with some older people. It sounds incredibly cool but, in truth, I was terrified of playing a dud note. Not long after, I was in a band with kids my own age including my younger brother. One of our earliest gigs was supporting a band called The Switch. They were older and American and we were awestruck. To them, we would have looked like we’d just finished work at Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Somewhere, I have a tape of that apocryphal performance. It’s just a couple of minutes but, believe me, it’s more than enough. The song in question begins with an atmospheric synthesiser overture before – gulp – a spoken word introduction. It gets worse. Whilst the first part of the song is performed in near darkness, when the band kicks in, the guy at the desk wakes up and we are bathed in light.

Like looking into a mirror: The National singer and Stuart McCullough doppleganger Matt Berninger.

It’s at that moment that we begin our synchronised dance moves. Had I been in the audience rather than on the stage, I doubt very much that I would have complained about being in the back corner with my view obstructed. I would have been grateful. There are certain rules when it comes to seeing a band. Firstly, wher-

ever you stand is a thoroughfare. People will push in front, behind and side on as they seek to get from A to Z and all points of the alphabet in between. Secondly, all attendees at a concert have a duty to try to prevent someone’s drink from being spilled. Not just your own. Holding a drink that’s lapping at the brim creates an auto-

matic right of way. The third rule is that, no matter how tall you are, someone taller will stand in front of you. You could be as tall as Chinese basketball giant Yao Ming and drop in to catch a set by your favourite band and still end up with someone obstructing your view. For some reason, I always have a lousy view when I go to see bands. Even if I arrive early and use fluorescent traffic cones to cordon off a space that’s stage centre, I invariably find myself shuffled like a dud card to somewhere down the back of the venue. Although I’m always pressed up against the emergency exit, I have a friend who has an uncanny gift to find her way to the very front no matter how crowded. We once arrived at Festival Hall to find it stuffed like a cocktail olive. Within seconds, she had vanished into the crowd, weaving her way towards the front. My brother and I remained where we were. For some reason, the crowd seemed unwilling to let us pass and resented our attempts to do so. Perhaps they thought we were pushing in. Maybe they had seen the video of us supporting The Switch and wanted to teach us a lesson. Either way, they had a point. There’s a band I like called The National. They play a literate brand of baritone art rock that appeals to me greatly. That the band members are all my age probably helps. It is music for the head, as well as the heart. When they announced they were touring Melbourne, our friend Dr J got tickets. When we arrived at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, I immediately

headed for my usual position along the back fence behind the recycling bins. However, it seems Dr J had managed to secure tickets in row ‘N’, right smack-bang in the middle. I could see the stage. I could even see the people on the stage. It was an experience that was so strange, so novel that I barely knew what to do with myself. After two hours of exhilarating music, all of which I saw as well as heard, the concert reached something of a crescendo. It was then that lead singer, Matt Berninger, threw himself into the audience and, with microphone in hand, began making his way through the crowd. As the song went on he drew ever closer until he began to stroll down row ‘N’ in our direction. The people to my left celebrated by groping him, filming the assault on a mobile phone. As he squeezed past me, I applied ‘public toilet rules’ in which I did everything humanly possible to avoid actual physical contact. Matt Berninger, obviously appreciative of my efforts not manhandle him, looked up. Not only were we the same age, but the same height also, both with a beard and glasses, except Matt Berninger looked every inch the rock star and I looked like I’d just been to Bunnings. In a strange way, it was like looking at a novelty mirror. Whether it was glimpse of the road less travelled or just a great night out matters little. I’m just grateful that there are people not unlike me who are making great music. And that I ever got close enough to realise it for myself. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Don’t miss the Red Hill Show By Diane Baxter WHAT better way to spend some leisurely fun hours than a day at the 86th Red Hill Show – 8.30am-5pm Saturday 22 March? There will be so much to see and do for all the family. As well as attending the show you can enter one of the many sections. The sections are: alpacas and fleece, art, black and coloured sheep, cattle, cooking, craft, dog high scramble, flowers, fruit, miniature goats, photography, poultry, rats, stud sheep, vegetables, woodchop and junior classes There are several classes within the alpaca section. The art section includes decorating a totem pole. Poles must be no more than two metres high and 15 centimetrs in diameter but can be decorated in any way – paint, mosaic, collage or other materials. Black and coloured sheep and miniature goats also have multiple classes as does the stud sheep and cattle sections. There is also a young beef handler competition. The cooking section goes from plain scones to cup cakes, boiled fruit cake to gluten free biscuits, and sausage rolls to chocolate crackles. There is a gourmet dip championship, a noncommercial cheese section, homemade wine and jams, preserves and beverages. Craft sections include knitting, crochet, sewing, patchwork, appliqué and quilts, embroidery, dolls and toys, spun wool, alpaca handcraft, woodwork, cut and jewelled eggs and unspecified craft. The flower, fruit and vegetable sections give entrants the chance to present what they have cultivated. Photography includes landscape to pets and animals, abstract to sport/action. Poultry ranges from silkies to Indian runners and bantams to Rhode Island reds. The woodchop also comes with sections. Even the fancy rat show has different classes. Entries in the dog high scramble will be accepted at the secretary’s area on the day of the show. This event will be held in the afternoon after The News Group Grand Parade, which

starts at 2.45pm Details of all sections, including those suited to five to 18 year olds, are at www.redhillshow. com.au or email info@redhillshow.com.au Call the show office on 5989 2357 for further information The Red Hill Show includes entertainment, displays, rides and stalls: family (two adults and three children 6-18) $50; adult $15; children (6-18) $10; and pensioners and students $10. Children five and under are free. Parking is free.

Doggies dance over Sharks PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON was in the box seat to turn years’ of disappointment into a year of great achievement in the MPCA Provincial grand final. The Doggies have been the most consistent side in the competition this season and went into the match against Sorrento as favourite. Meanwhile, the Sharks were looking to make amends for their poor showing against Peninsula Old Boys the season before in the big dance. In that match against the Old Boys,

the Sharks were bowled out for 133 chasing 197. History seemed to set to repeat itself on the first day of the 2013/14 grand final, with Sorrento up against it at 8/120 off 56 overs before rain put a stop to the day’s play. The Sharks’ only source of hope could be to draw on last year’s final when they had POB reeling at 8/123 before the Old boy’s Trevor Johnson went on to make 59 to help his side to 197 and victory. On Saturday, the Sharks won the toss and elected to bat.

Despite heavy rain prior to the match at Dromana Reserve, the ground was playing well but was still slippery under foot. Luke Popov and Michael Heib took the new ball for the Dogs and were right on target early. Nick Jewell opened the batting with Jedd Falck and while Falck was scratchy, Jewell belted a short Heib ball to the boundary with a classic pull shot off the first delivery he faced. The Mornington fieldsmen were up and about and their efforts in the field were first class, a number of cracking

Jewell shots stopped without a run being made. Both Popov and Heib were swinging the ball away from the left-handed Falck and into Jewell. Sorrento quickly fell to 2/22 after Popov got rid of Falck and Heib knocked over Liam O’Connor before he could add to the scoreboard. Mornington skipper Matt Foon then rattled the pegs of Jewell with his second delivery of the day, and when Leigh Poholke became Popov’s second victim after a blinding one-handed catch at fine gully, the Sharks were

reeling at 4/30 from just 13 overs. Anthony Blackwell, who averages just eight in finals, needed a big score to get his side back in the contest. He top scored with 26 but that wasn’t enough. Chris King contributed 17. At the end of play, Nick Davern was unbeaten on 23, with AJ King at the other end. AJ’s highest score this season was seven. Davern has already passed his highest score of 16, which happened to be against Mornington in round seven. Popov finished day one with 3/27, while Foon finished with 3/28.

Two flags in three seasons for Pines DISTRICT

By IT Gully A MAGNIFICENT spell of fast bowling from Pines opening quick Brett Remy placed his side in the box seat to win the MPCA District flag. In front of a massive crowd at Mornington’s Alexandra Park, Pines rolled Delacombe Park for just 94 in 52.5 overs on Saturday, before finishing the afternoon themselves on 0/37. The evergreen Remy, who seems to threaten retirement every season, bowled 21 overs against Delacombe Park. Remy finished with the more than tidy figures of 5/33, including 10 maidens. When he took his fifth wicket, his figures were 5/11 from 14 overs. The Parkers were never in the contest, losing wickets at quick intervals.

Jon Gurthrie was rolled for a duck by Nick Wilcox after facing 20 balls and, although Nick Christides’ first two scoring shots found the boundary, he was rolled for 13. After eight overs, Delacombe Park was 2/13. They then struggled to 5/42 from 28 overs. Joel Malcolm scored 13, Chris Brittain seven, Simon Dignan eight and Andrew Christides was out for a duck. Ben Brittain (13) and Shane Deal offered a little bit of resistance in the middle order, taking the score from 6/43 in the 30th over to 6/70 at tea. Brett Chard made a handy 17 at the end, while Varun Singh scored nine, but it wasn’t enough to push the score beyond 100. Chasing just 95 for victory, Pines resumed on day two at 0/37, Remy unbeaten on 21 and Rhys Chalkley on 16 not out.

Third time lucky for Hillmen in final SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully AFTER years of heartache, it appears Red Hill has finally kicked the monkey off its back. Going into the grand final against Rosebud as hot favourites, the Hillmen had to put seasons of failed attempts behind them to place themselves in a position to taste the ultimate reward. The Hillmen have lost their past two grand finals against Pines and Seaford Tigers. And despite rain interruptions throughout the day’s play, the Hillmen were able to set-up their win with a sensational opening day of batting. After winning the toss and batting at

Pearcedale Reserve, the Hillmen got away to a flier, with openers Andrew Mock and Ken Sullivan putting on 84. Sullivan was the attacking batsman in the opening stand and lost his wicket a short time after Mock (25) for 51. That brought Rheede Hopgood and Simon Dart to the crease together within a short space of time. Hopgood was the aggressor in that partnership and with Dart, helped take the score from 2/84 to 181 before he was tragically run out for 64. Riley Shaw (six) and Brent Martin (five) didn’t hang around long and at the close of play on Saturday afternoon, the Hillmen were in the box seat at 5/216.

With Dart unbeaten on 49 and with Lincoln Toy (two not out) and Andrew Brown and Jamie McCall still to come, the Hillmen are well set up to push 250-plus. In anyone’s language, it’s not often a side that scores over 250 in a grand final lose. The Hillmen scored 197 in the grand final last season against Seaford Tigers (7/296), while the year before, the Hillmen were rolled for 99, chasing Pines’ 281. History says Red Hill was in a terrific position on Saturday night. Jason Nagel was the pick of the Rosebud bowlers after the first day with 2/61 from 26 overs. Darren Kerr and Peter Doughty were the other wicket takers.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

Clements crowned number 1 for season Clements scored 1185 runs this season, 806 of them coming in 13 innings in home-and-away matches. This gave him an average of 62 for the season, with a high score of 129 against Mt Eliza in round 3 (he also scored 126 against Heatherhill in round nine). Clements’ lowest score for the season was five against Long Island. He scored 40 in the second innings of that match. Clements also scored plenty of runs in the Jack Peacock Cup, including knocks of 99, 70, 84 and 118. District

By IT Gully MORNINGTON run machine Ben Clements was crowned with the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association’s highest honour last week when he won the W B Wedgewood Medal. Clements (17 votes) polled in seven of the 11 games this season, finishing three votes clear of two allrounders, Long Island’s Scott Phillips and Baxter’s Dale Irving, as well as Sorrento skipper Nick Jewell, who all finished on 14 votes. Crib Point’s Luke Herrington was a further vote back on 13.

In District ranks, Delacombe Park teammates Chris Brittain and Jon Guthrie drove each other to the line in a tight and tense medal count. But the skipper, Brittain, finally nudged out the opening batsman to win the E G Betts Medal. Brittain polled in six games to give him 15 votes while Guthrie was just one vote back after polling in five matches. Seaford star Damien Lawrence was third in the count on 13 votes while Shaun Foster (Carrum) and Corey Hand (Seaford Tigers) both polled 12 votes.

Brittain scored 407 runs this season with a highest score of 104 against Baden Powell in Round nine. His batting average was 36.45. He also snared 39 wickets at an average of 9.10. His best bowling figures were 6/36 against Hastings in Round four. Sub District In the Subbies, Red Hill star Simon Dart was a raging-hot favourite for the Robert Thompson Award and won it with 14 votes. Dart tipped out Dromana’s Danny Timmer and Balnarring’s Mark Walles, who both polled 11 votes.

Rosebud’s Jason Nagel, along with Paul Bradley (YCW), Glenn Collett (Red Hill), Jacob Cook (Balnarring) and Shayne Gillings (Pearcedale) all polled 10 votes. Dart scored 608 runs this season and picked-up 12 wickets. He scored his first century (111) of the season in the final home-and-away game against YCW. He then backed it up with 135 in the semi-final. He averaged 67.44 for the season. His best bowling was against Dromana in round one when he snared 5/11 from eight overs but he didn’t bowl beyond round eight.

Players still on the move FOOTBALL

By Toe Punt WITH only a couple of weeks before the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League season opens, there are still plenty of player movements. Pearcedale will be devastated that both Rohan Hensby and Chris Swan have applied for clearances to head to the Goulburn Valley League. Hensby and Swan arrived from Tasmania a few years ago and have been sensational additions to the Panthers. The defender and midfielder will be big losses and come on the back of the loss of underrated Glenn Anderson, who is heading to the Ellinbank League. Nick Watersone is the latest player to want out of Tyabb after applying for a clearance to Bonbeach, while Warren Hubbard also wants out. Red Hill has picked up promising former Mornington player Rhys McConville-Brain. Darren Booth has finally applied for a clearance from Rye to head back to Mt Eliza. The Demons knew at the end of last season that the star defender would be heading home. Hastings meanwhile has picked

up Jarryd Elton from Tooradin. The Blues have also snared Karingal speedster Dale Alainis, a very dangerous small forward. From all reports, the Blues’ practice-match form has been superb. Meanwhile, there’s been talk for a few years about when Seaford gun Brayden Irving would join his brothers at Frankston to play VFL. He has made the move this year, coming as a major blow for the Tigers. Bonbeach is adding some depth, none bigger than former Melbourne and Brisbane Lion player Travis Johnstone. Harley Ambrose is the latest player to want out of Karingal, joining the likes of Sam McGarry, Chris Hay, Brendan Dunne, David and Tim Hirst, Callan Dixon, Stephen Charalambous, Daniel Noble, Dale Alainis, Jared Eames, Ryan Jenke, Jack Johnson, Kane McKenzie, Anthony Joel and James Tyquin. Finally, clever and talented Mornington forward/midfielder James Cameron is going to try his luck in the VFL.
