Music camp sounds alive THE Briars came alive with the sounds of American Pie and I Dreamed a Dream last week as 150 children from across the peninsula celebrated the 31st annual Southern Peninsula Music Camp. The three-day camp drew students from Boneo, Rye, Eastbourne, Tootgarook, Rosebud and Pearcedale primary schools, and Parkdale Secondary. They were assisted by music teachers and secondary school students. On the first day, pupils were given a list of songs to rehearse for a concert at the end of the week. The secondary students then tutored the younger pupils and ensured they had fun while learning. With only three days to put together a huge repertoire, ranging from classical to rock, they quickly learn new skills, made new friends and developed as young musicians. Rosebud Primary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Madison Bailey, in Grade 6, said she loves the music camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have so much fun together.â&#x20AC;?

Vote on RACV resort: minister Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SHIRE councillors have been told to get on with the job and vote on the RACVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contentious Cape Schanck resort expansion. Councillors baulked at voting on the $135 million project mid-May when they got cold feet over potential conflict of interest. This was despite the council having legal advice from its lawyers Mad-

docks that councillors who were members of RACV roadside assist could vote on the controversial project. The council also had advice from Local Government Victoria, which said councillors were clear to vote. But a third legal opinion obtained by one of the councillors spooked the council and a planning meeting was cancelled just hours before it was due to start. The council then sought a formal exemption from Local Government

Minister Natalie Hutchins but she told the council last week that she would not issue a formal exemption. In the meantime, the resort had been taken off the agenda of the 22 June meeting at Hastings. Last Friday, the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications manager Todd Trimble told The News that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Minister did not issue a formal ruling and has instead advised that individual councillors need to determine if they have a conflict of interestâ&#x20AC;?.

He said the matter would be debated at the 13 July council meeting at Rosebud. Five councillors out of 11 are RACV members so even if there had been a conflict the council would still have had a quorum of six and the matter could have gone to a vote. The RACV resort is not an issue that has divided the council like, for example, the ill-fated Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud, which split the council 6-5

for almost three years from early 2012. Councillors are expected to approve the resort on 13 July, despite solid opposition from Cape Schanck residents who initially supported the concept but reversed their positions after seeing plans for a building of five storeys that will be almost 30 metres high including about 11 metres above the ridge line. About 200 homes and the National Golf Club were required to stay below the ridge line. Continued Page 14

Footy board called on to resign Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly team@mpnews.com.au NEPEAN League presidents have called for the immediate resignation of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League board. Sorrento Football Club president Garry Woodhams sent an email on behalf of all Nepean league clubs to MPNFL Board chairman Stuart Gilchrist last Friday afternoon (19 June), together with a notice of no confidence, which was signed by 11 of the 12 Nepean League clubs. Somerville abstained from the vote, given recent events over the Player Points System (PPS) debacle (‘Somerville ‘misled’, results in doubt’, The News 9/6/15). Presidents and delegates of all clubs of the Nepean League met on 15 June at Red Hill Football Club. According to Woodham’s email, the purpose of the meeting was to provide the Nepean clubs with an open forum, free of interference, in which to discuss their concerns with the current and future direction of the MPNFL. The MPNFL board and administrators were not invited to the meeting and some made calls to club representatives before and after the meeting to try to find out what was happening. At the meeting, there was a unanimous indication by show of hands that all clubs have lost confidence in the MPNFL board and administration. According to Woodhams’ email, “this erosion of confidence stems from an ever growing list of administrative failings over the last 24 months and is

not confined to recent issues alone”. One club source said there was no doubt the total loss of confidence is a result of the recent incompetence shown by the MPNFL Board and Administration over their handling of the PPS saga with Somerville FC. “The failure of the MPNFL Board to address the concerns of clubs and to manage and perform the administration appropriately has led to the clubs seeking recourse by taking matters into their own hands,” Woodhams wrote. “On behalf of the Nepean clubs and in accordance with the signed notices, I hereby give notice of our request for the immediate resignation of the MPNFL Directors – at which time the clubs will ask the AFL South East Commission to take the following steps:  Commissioners from AFL SE Commission to fill the casual vacancies until the next AGM in a caretaker capacity until at least the holding of the next Annual General Meeting of the MPNFL.  Conduct a review into the most appropriate governance structure for the NFNL.  Conduct a review of the most appropriate administration structure for the NFNL  Assess and report on the current business practices of the MPNFL including a full audit.  Undertake a Rules and By-Law review.  Assess the relationship status with all stakeholders in the region. “As stated in the notice of no confidence, should the MPNFL Board reject this notice and the conditions set out in

Duty bound: AFL South East general manager Jeremy Bourke says the governing body will help clubs if the MPNFL board resigns.

the notice, the affiliated clubs will be left with no option other than to act in accordance with the MPNFL Constitution and seek a Special General Meeting. “We appeal the MPNFL Board to abide by the mandate of the clubs as evidenced by the attached notices and to abstain from engaging in an elongated process of which the outcome is certain. The clubs also require a written response from the MPNFL board within seven days of this email and any attempt to obfuscate and delay the timeframe will not be accepted,” Woodhams wrote. Peninsula League clubs will meet on Monday night to discuss broader issues. However, the Nepean League’s recent actions are expected to be high on their agenda. It is believed that at least seven of the 10 Peninsula League clubs support Nepean League’s actions and will vote accordingly when asked to. Collectively, the clubs need a 75 per cent majority to execute the notice of

no confidence. The votes of six of the peninsula clubs will give them the 75 per cent. AFL South East general manager Jeremy Bourke said the regional board had no role to play in the decision of the Nepean League clubs to issue the Notice of No Confidence. “Similar to Casey Cardinia League last year, the Nepean League clubs have come together and stated that they are seeking a change in their best interests. That’s the catalyst for their actions,” Bourke said. “There hasn’t been an option for clubs in the past (to challenge the board and administration), so it’s been a difficult process for them to do anything. “Football people have always had the best interests of their own club at hand and doing anything outside of this has been extremely difficult for them. Their priorities are understandably their own clubs, not trying to address the higher issues. “AFL South East played no role in the clubs making this decision. They (Nepean and Peninsula League clubs) came to us to ask what level of support we could provide. As the governing body in the region for AFL football, it was our duty to provide them a direction and then to provide support to assist in the outcomes. If the clubs move a notice of no confidence, it’s our duty to provide caretaker governance and to address the situation. “It’s our responsibility to facilitate the most appropriate structure moving forward, determine who is best to fill the roles required to administer the league and give advice on the best

course of action for the clubs moving forward. The MPNFL is one of the proudest football competitions in Australia and we absolutely want to preserve that,” Bourke said. Bourke said the clubs would not lose their identity as clubs and as a league, under the guidance of the AFL. “Clubs won’t lose their independence in the slightest. It’s important that all leagues have individual boards. It’s important our leagues maintain their identity, their history. “However, it’s also important that they have a selection of board members who are focused on the needs of the league. It’s also important that they interconnect with a greater structure that provides some strategic direction for the clubs and their league. “This will be a consultative process and all stakeholders will have an opportunity to influence the decisions that are made. The aim of regional governance is to bring all administration together and provide more effective and efficient structures to meet the needs of clubs and leagues. “When you do that there are savings to be made. You no longer have two people from two leagues doing the same job. Given this, there will be a cost saving for the clubs.” Nepean League will stand alone if peninsula clubs do not support the move but it is expected that the majority of Peninsula League clubs will support the Nepean League stance. MPNFL chairman Stuart Gilchrist and chief executive officer Jeff Jones declined to comment when contacted by The News.

Sounds like a good idea A ROSEBUD audiologist knows the value of good hearing skills – especially to those in less developed countries than Australia. That’s why she’s rounding up old hearing aids to help those with hearing loss in Cambodia. National Hearing Care’s Fallon Arnold is off on a two-week placement to Phnom Penh in October – hopefully with up to 400 old hearing aids donated by peninsula hearing loss sufferers. “I am putting the word out that, if anyone has an old hearing aid they can give me, it would be put to good use,” she said last week. “In Cambodia people have no access to government assistance programs and donations such as these are very much appreciated.”

Ms Arnold is also setting up an on-line fundraising site so donors can offer cash as well to the charity All Ears Cambodia. “I am hoping to get 400-500 hearing aids but, even if I get 100, that will help 50 people,” she said. “Initially I sought a placement in Cambodia as a student, but missed out. Then, when I got my qualifications, I knew I wanted to volunteer and I contact them again – this time being successful.” Ms Arnold also has visited Phnom Penh as a tourist – but the thrill this time is being able to assist in a professional capacity and continuing the work of a colleague who helped out there previously. The online link for donations is fundrazr.com/campaigns/e103X1/

Man held over armed robbery, 7 burglaries

Water view workout: Testing the fitness station are Dromana Football Club players Billy Quigley, Christian Ongarello, Ash Waterstone, Toby Banks, Shaun Clarke, Jack Fowler and Terry Wheeler. Picture supplied

Foreshore with a view to keeping fit THE first of four fitness stations made of 100 per cent plastic waste has been installed on the Dromana foreshore. It’s a double-whammy win devised by Rob Tannahill of Dromana foreshore committee of management – a place to get or stay fit for people using the Bay Trail, and keeping the equivalent of 95,000 plastic bags out

of landfill. The fitness equipment is made by award-winning Carrum Downs-based company Replas, which has been turning waste plastic into useful items such as bollards, seats and decking for more than 20 years. Now its “RE-fit” fitness station equipment is becoming popular. Mr Tannahill said the first station

had been installed by the committee’s ranger Michael Everitt and his assistants beside the Bay Trail and car park near BP corner, “roughly at the start of the area of our management”, near where Point Nepean Rd turns inland. Steve Vezer of Dromana prepared the site with his Bobcat. “We’re hoping to obtain funds from

donations and grants for three more stations,” Mr Tannahill said. The committee looks after the foreshore between BP corner and the boat launching ramp near Anthonys Nose. “We are getting a very positive response from the public who are making great use of it.” Mike Hast

A 39-year-old Rye man has been charged with armed robbery after allegedly threatening an 80-year-old woman milk bar attendant with what appeared to be a shotgun. The gun was later found to be an imitation. The man is also facing seven counts of burglary and two of theft from cars in the Rosebud area over the past few weeks. He allegedly pointed what was thought to be a sawn-off shotgun at the woman at the Melbourne Rd milk bar about 4pm on Sunday 14 June. The woman told police the man ran around the counter and forced her to open the till, escaping with $400. Detective Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Mornington police, said it would be alleged the gun was found when the man was arrested during a raid on a house in Woomera St, Rye, early on Thursday morning. The arrest was made after Detective Leading Senior Constable Deb Seymour, of Mornington police, thought she recognised a possible suspect and his car while viewing CCTV footage of robberies at Rosebud stores, a doctor’s surgery and offices. She was later granted a warrant to search his home for stolen goods. The man faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court the same day and was remanded to appear at a later date. Stephen Taylor

Dock) ship, the second of the Royal Australian Navy’s new amphibious vessels, was built at the renowned naval shipyard in Ferrol in northern Spain by Navantia and launched in July 2012. Adelaide has been fitted out by BAE Systems at Williamstown shipyard and is expected to go into service in 2016. She is a sister ship to HMAS Canberra, which arrived in Port Phillip on Blue Marlin in October 2012 and was handed to the

navy last year. At full load, Canberra and Adelaide will each displace 27,851 tonnes, making them the largest ships to serve in the RAN. Each ship can carry a combined armed battle group of more than 1100 personnel, 100 armoured vehicles and 12 helicopters as well as a 40-bed hospital. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon, www. aquamanships.com

Plan to protect Sorrento main street heritage THE shire has released a plan it says will protect the heritage of Sorrento’s main street, Ocean Beach Rd. A draft of the Ocean Beach Road Heritage Policy is out for public comment for about six weeks. Area councillor Tim Rodgers said the policy had its genesis about a decade ago when a supermarket chain built an outlet in the town and there was concern about the future loss of heritage buildings. “We needed a heritage policy to protect the streetscape,” Cr Rodgers said. Sorrento is famously the site of the first European settlement in Victoria in 1803 – a short-lived camp at Sullivan Bay two kilometres from today’s town centre – but sustained development did not occur until after Melbourne was first settled in 1835. Within about two years graziers had taken up runs on the southern peninsula stretching down to Point Nepean. The delights of Sorrento attracted Melbourne’s rich and famous in the 1860s when a number of fine homes were built, mostly from the area’s limestone. In 1872 the so-called “father of Sorrento”, entrepreneur George Coppin, sold blocks of land in the first subdivision. In 1870s he built seaside villas, the Continental Hotel, the Mechanics’ Institute and seabaths. He started a paddlesteamer route between Sorrento and Melbourne in the 1880s and the town took off as a holiday destination for people of all social standing. The draft policy does not introduce new planning controls, but essentially formalises existing heritage guidelines with a view to inclusion in the Morn-

Cyclist ‘critical’ after collision A CYCLIST suffered critical injuries after being knocked off his bike by a Ford utility about noon, Wednesday, on Nepean Highway, Safety Beach. The 17-year-old Dromana Secondary College student, of Mt Martha, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital where his condition on Friday was described as “unchanged, critical”. The collision occurred near the intersection of Ponderosa Place. Police said the driver of the ute, a man aged 46, stopped to help. “The worst thing for a policeman is to see a boy on the road,” Senior Constable Steve Caple, of Frankston highway patrol, said after attending the scene. “You never get used to it.” Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives want to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or saw the bicycle or the white ute. Anyone with information can call Frankston highway patrol on 8770 4100, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report to crimestoppersvic.com.au

ington Peninsula Planning Scheme. “The draft policy provides a high level of detailed guidance for the protection of heritage values in the area,” Cr Rodgers said. “With increasing development pressures and to ensure heritage values are protected, it is appropriate to provide greater formal status for existing heritage guidelines to assist the council in assessing planning applications for properties covered by the heritage overlay in the Ocean Beach Rd precinct.” His Nepean Ward colleague Hugh Fraser said the heritage values of Sorrento were an “important part of the town and its unique attraction to residents and visitors alike”. “The policy provides ... specific details regarding heights, setbacks, building form, preferred materials and the protection of viewlines to key features,” he said. The council has adopted the policy on an interim basis to prevent so-called “pre-emptive” applications while the policy goes through the exhibition and review process. The draft policy is at shire offices in Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings, and on the shire’s website www.mornpen.vic.gov.au under “Your Say”. Mike Hast

Community garden GARDENING enthusiasts are invited to a public meeting to plan a community garden in Dromana. It will be held 10am, Sunday 21 June, at Dromana Netball/Bocce Clubrooms, Marna St. Those attending can have their say - or listen curiously – to others’ ideas and opinions. Dromana Community Garden project team says their needs are “vast and varied, so there may well be a job for everyone”.

DESPITE strong community pressure to keep speed limits as they are, VicRoads is proceeding to reduce Coolart Rd to 80kph. “To make this road safer right now, the speed limit needs to be reduced and we will start working on making repairs on the road to improve the condition of the road,” VicRoads Metro South East regional director Aidan McGann said. He said that a large part of the community had expressed a desire to retain a higher speed along the road and suggested that VicRoads should instead make the road safer with widening and repairs and improve lighting. Mr McGann said VicRoads had received more than 650 responses to a survey and hundreds of comments on social media “which has created a clear picture of what the community is seeking”.

“The big message we have received is that there are sections of Coolart Rd that are in need of urgent repair. Some people have said they don’t feel safe on the road, because of the road condition. “Bringing the road up to a standard where the community feels safer is a high priority and this will be given a lot of attention in the next 12 months”. A follow-up survey would be made in 12 months. “In the short term, VicRoads with the support of Victoria Police, will press ahead with reducing the speed limit to 80kph,” Mr McGann said. “Many people have expressed concerns with the behaviour of some drivers using this road, with speeding and reckless overtaking being specifically mentioned.”

To preserve Port Phillip, Melbourne should learn from Sydney By Tim Flannery I GREW up beside Port Phillip, just up the road from Melbourne’s most striking natural feature, the Red Bluff cliffs. In those easier days I was allowed to wander to the beach to fish, beachcomb or swim. When I was 10 I took up snorkelling and at 15 scuba diving. From Sandringham to Mornington I came to know Port Phillip’s waters intimately. I loved it in all of its seasons – even mid-winter, when my face would ache from the freezing water. In that season life was in suspended animation – like a frozen tableau – but the water was crystal clear. As the spring rolled in, strange visitors arrived. Big-eyed, silvery elephant sharks, made bizarre by fang-filled pseudo-mouths atop their heads, would slip into the shallows to lay their eggs. I caught one once, thinking I’d feed the family, but was repulsed to discover that its flesh was green. Later in the season vast schools of bait fish would arrive. I would float suspended in the mass of fish as they cast a fishy shadow around me, despite the violent dashes of the barracuda scattering them on all sides. Relentlessly surging north, always north, they manifested the irrepressible pulse of life itself. Then came the season for dusky flathead, and flounder, which would lie disguised on the rocky reefs, awaiting their chance to eat, and reproduce. The background to all this activity was the reefs that lined the shore, their rocks encrusted with pink and purple coralline algae. Cricket ball-sized heads of temperate water coral, yellow and orange pot-shaped sponges, and feather-headed worms studded pink and purple, bringing astonishing colour and variety. Under rocks lurked multi-coloured starfish, colourful crabs, shrimps, worms and blennies. To me, the waters

of Port Phillip were as glorious as any tropical sea. Perhaps more so, because the tropics are boringly uniform across the Pacific, while many of the glories I saw in Port Phillip were ancient Gondwanan survivors, unique to southern Australia. I left Melbourne in January 1980, aged 24, to study in Sydney. I can’t remember my last dive, but I’m sure that I had no idea it would be 33 years until my next. In 2013, family drew me home. The first thing I did was to revisit my favourite underwater haunt – the rocky reef at Beaumaris. For me, it is a special place, a touchstone of memory and experience so vivid that I frequently dream of it. The rocky reef is a fossil bed containing the bones and teeth of creatures that lived in an ancient Port Phillip more than six million years ago. The teeth of sharks larger than those of any great white, and the jawbones of mighty sperm whales, lay on the bottom there, awaiting pick-up by a curious boy. I had discovered the place when I was nine years old and had dived it hundreds of times searching for fossils. When I plunged into the water in 2013 I knew immediately that the place of my childhood was gone. Instead of a beautiful rocky reef covered in coral, I floated above a cesspit of green scum. Algae grew on every surface, and it had trapped a layer of mud that had suffocated almost all of the life that once thrived there. Thankfully the damage is reversible. Without pollution the green algae will starve, the mud disperse and the coral re-establish itself. In the weeks that followed, I snorkelled at my old haunts from Mornington to Black Rock. Everywhere I saw sickly green algae crowding out temperate corals and other life. The phenomenon is well known to biologists who study

partially or completely enclosed waterways. It’s called eutrophication, and it’s caused by an excess run-off of nitrogen and phosphorus. Port Phillip is huge – it covers almost 2000 square kilometres – so it takes time for eutrophication to be felt. But it also takes a very long time to flush out pollutants, because only one per cent of Port Phillip’s water is exchanged with the ocean each year. If nothing is done, the nutrients will build up until a vast algal bloom is triggered. A toxic Port Phillip – its waters green with algae and covered in dead fish, its shores piled with stinking vegetation and animal life – will be the result. The truth is that Melbourne is slowly strangling Port Phillip. Year by year the suburbs creep further south alongside its waters, and the infrastructure builds up, with more hard surfaces and less greenery to let stormwater soak into the soil. So each storm carries ever-more dog poo, rotten food, spilt petrol and oil, excess lawn fertiliser and other toxic substances straight into Port Phillip through the 300-odd barrel drains (more than one for each kilometre of shoreline) that act like open sores on virtually every Melbourne beach. Some of the nation’s most expensive real estate fronts Cowderoy St, St Kilda West. But the Cowderoy St drain looks like it emanates from the slums of Mumbai, rather than an affluent Australian city. I volunteered to clean the shore around it by picking up plastic bags and other hard rubbish, but I nearly choked on the stench as I waded through the sickly, grey, sewage-like sludge that filled the drain, pushing aside the dead birds and toxic scum as I went, and soon gave up. I’ve asked environmentalists why Melburnians tolerate the filth. Some say Port Phillip is so industrialised it’s beyond hope; others say it’s only used on a few summer days each

year, so nobody cares. I’m shocked to hear it, having returned from Sydney, where residents would lay down their lives for the harbour. Thirty years ago Sydney Harbour was as polluted as Port Phillip is now, but hard work and pride have restored it. So what does Port Phillip need? Some work has already been done. The Yarra River is cleaner than it was 30 years ago, the banks of the Merri Creek have been magnificently restored, and the Elwood Canal no longer stinks enough to make you gag. But those odious barrel drains continue to discharge their slow poison. They need reed beds to catch and soak up the toxins. In most places there’s more than enough flat land to do this. The Andrews state government, elected last year, has pledged to get rid of the 50 worst level crossings in the state. What about cleaning up Port Phillip’s 50 worst barrel drains? But the problems go beyond the drains. Flathead are the staple of Port Phillip fishers. When I was a kid, anyone could catch 30 or 40 “flatties”, all more than 30 centimetres long, in a day. The species has declined by 80 per cent since the 1970s. In those days, it took a male flathead seven years to grow to the legal take size of 27 centimetres. Today it takes up to 13 years. Many have pointed to dredging as a cause, but the decline predates dredging. Another suspect is the drought of the late 1990s and early 2000s. More important might be the reduction of the ghost mud shrimp, the sand flathead’s food source. In the ’70s it was present on muddy bottoms in astronomical numbers. Today it’s totally absent from many areas. Surely overfishing isn’t helping. Port Phillip desperately needs more marine reserve areas. Those that exist are pitifully small, their margins thronged with fishers eager to take anything that wanders

outside their bounds. Port Phillip’s margins have also been battered by inappropriate development. Even the Beaumaris fossil bed has been partially destroyed to make a car park for motorboat users. In Sydney, great swathes of harbour-side natural vegetation have been reserved, inappropriate infrastructure removed, and commercial fishing banned. As a result, fish stocks have recovered spectacularly. Enormous kingfish, bream and other species are now a common sight in Sydney Harbour. Even southern right whales have returned. When I moved to Sydney such things were unimaginable. Sydney Harbour and Port Phillip were pretty much equally blighted. But the people of Sydney have cared enough to make a difference. Surely Melburnians can, over time, do an equally good job with their waterway? The Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority has done much good. A powerful Port Phillip authority, properly funded and accountable, could deliver the strategic vision required, and the means of delivering it. It also needs a much beefed-up research effort – perhaps a Port Phillip Institute of Marine Sciences. Research might show that seaweed farms could soak up the excess nutrient now poisoning the waterway. We might even be able to reintroduce now-vanished species. An old resident at Black Rock once told me that he used to dive for crayfish there as a child, on the rocky reefs. Imagine that: crayfish in Port Phillip.  Dr Tim Flannery is a scientist and writer.

Western Port’s ‘ex-parrot’ hit by disease Rare bird: One of the orange-bellied parrots in the captive breeding program at Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale. Picture: Yanni

Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE orange-bellied parrot wild population has been hit by a disease that can kill young birds or adults with weak immune systems. Two-thirds of 30 birds born in the wild last summer in Tasmania have been diagnosed with common beak and feather disease, also known as Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease. This is the parrot that once graced the saltmarsh shores of Western Port and became famous as a political football when its endangered status was blamed for delaying a wind farm in Gippsland in 2006 and the proposed marina expansion at Yaringa boat harbour near Somerville in 2012. The OBP is of only three parrot species worldwide that migrates. They spend their winters in Victoria and South Australia before flying to Melaleuca in Tasmania’s remote southwest wilderness to breed. The disease, called bird AIDS by some reseachers, causes beaks and feathers to become malformed. Birds end up with shortened, stubby feathers so can’t fly, and malformed beaks so they can’t eat properly. ABC radio reported last week: “A deadly disease is infecting the nestling population of one of the world’s most critically endangered birds – the orange-bellied parrot. Nineteen of the estimated 30 birds that were born in Tasmania last summer tested have positive to beak and feather disease.” It’s thought that there are fewer than 50 birds in the wild but a captive breeding program started about 30 years ago means there are about 320 birds in special facilities at Healesville Sanctuary, Adelaide Zoo, a state government centre near Hobart, Halls Gap, a private centre in the ACT, and Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale, where the birds are kept just 500 metres from saltmarsh on the edge of Western Port where they used to live in the wild. The first Moonlit birds were released into the wild in Tasmania last year. The parrot has not been seen in the wild at Western Port since 1987. This prompted now environment minister Greg Hunt to exclaim in early 2012 when asked about the parrot delaying the Yaringa marina expansion: “There is no parrot, there hasn’t been a parrot for five years, for 10 years, for 15, for 20, or even for a quarter of a century. “It is ludicrous that a major project, which will create hundreds of local jobs, has been put on hold because one day an orange-bellied parrot

Business backing

may decide to fly over the area, even though they have not been seen in this location for a quarter of a century.” Mr Hunt’s outburst reminded many people of Monty Python’s famous and hilarious “Dead Parrot Sketch”. This is where John Cleese as an unhappy customer and Michael Palin as a pet shop owner argue over the state of a Norwegian Blue parrot that Cleese has just bought. Cleese is enraged when Palin says the parrot is just resting. Cleese: ’E’s not pinin’! ’E’s passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! ’E’s expired and gone to meet ’is maker! ’E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ’e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ’im to the perch ’e’d be pushing up the daisies! ’Is metabolic processes are now ’istory! ’E’s off the twig! ’E’s kicked the bucket, ’e’s

shuffled off ’is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EXPARROT! Environment minister Hunt has ordered his Threatened Species Commissioner Gregory Andrews to prepare an “urgent strategic response” to deal with the disease. Mr Andrews reportedly said the wild population was infected despite the best efforts of the Tasmanian government, wildlife managers and volunteer groups. “It’s a risk for the parrot because of [its] very low numbers, but also because the parrot is dependent on human management, feed tables, captive breeding programs, and that puts it at greater risk,” he said. Mr Andrews said the captive breeding population had not been

affected by the outbreak. He told the ABC that “the bird has had very low reproductive success for many years, and beak and feather disease could be one of the causes of that low reproductive success. So there is actually ... a silver lining in every cloud, and with this advice, we now have greater clarity on why the birds’ reproduction rate has been so low”. “We have some of the best scientists in Australia, and as part of the urgent strategic response that minister Hunt’s asked me to initiate, I’ll be talking to the National Environmental Science Program leaders, which is a $30 million investment program for threatened species’ science. I’ll also be talking to BirdLife Australia, the department, my advisers, and the Tasmanian government so that we can design the best approach to tackling this problem.” Michael Johnson of Moonlit Sanctuary, which has had an OBP breeding program for two seasons, said birds with strong immune systems were able to shrug off the disease. “Numbers are better than a few years ago when it was thought that only 36 wild birds remained,” he said. “Two years ago there were 50 and last year 70.” He said the parrots’ winter range was between Inverloch and the Coorong in South Australia. Moonlit has five aviaries for its OBPs, which cost about $12,000 and were paid for by a philanthropic grant. It is hoping to build 10 more and eventually have 30. “We had six chicks fledge [fly] in season 2014-15 with one of our females producing five of the six chicks,” he said. The sanctuary on Tyabb-Tooradin Rd looks after six rare species. It is becoming increasingly popular with overseas visitors to Melbourne.  The Yaringa marina project is before an independent planning panel, which is holding a hearing in Hastings this month. The first four days were in early June at Hastings Community Hub with three days on 22-24 June. The panel will prepare a report for the state planning minister.

Adding a name to sustain an image THE self-described “sustainable” Mornington Peninsula Shire has a neighbour that’s now officially known as the “sustainable city” – Frankston. While the peninsula gave itself the title of sustainable, Frankston has been named Sustainable City of the Year by Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria. Frankston earned its right to use sustainable through its 10-year plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2025. Frankston has also pipped the peninsula on naming rights with the September 2014 opening of its $50 million Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre built close to the city’ central commercial area. The shire has dropped its plans for a $44m Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud,

but remains committed, on paper at least, to a pool being built as part of the redevelopment of the Rosebud Central Shopping centre, which it bought in 2012. Meanwhile, the peninsula’s latest crop of councillors (and a new CEO) last year voted to strip the shire of its sustainable tag, although the cost of replacing existing signs, stationary and vehicle liveries was seen as too expensive to replace overnight. “Committed to a Sustainable Peninsula” remains ubiquitous throughout the shire and its website. Peninsula residents are this month invited to “drop-in information sessions” to “have a say about Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s carbon neutral options report and the Sustainable Peninsula symbol associated with the shire logo”.

They can also save fuel and time by completing an online survey by 7 July on the shire’s website www.mornpen. vic.gov.au under the YourSay tab. The peninsula’s carbon neutral report lists ways of achieving carbon neutrality “to ensure council and its community reduces risks associated with climate change, lowers energy costs, and minimises impacts of shire activities”. A council news releases says the

move towards carbon neutrality “is an opportune time to review the Sustainable Peninsula symbol associated with the shire logo, and how it could be amended or removed to better reflect council’s future direction”. Unusually for the shire, no councillor, or officer was quoted in the release. “The Sustainable Peninsula symbol was added to the shire’s logo in 2001 and reflects the social, environmental and economic elements of sustainabil-

There are nine types of domestic violence and these include verbal, social, psychological and financial being the kind most often perpetrated on men. Men are being portrayed in some brochures as all potentially violent and, of course, this is manifestly unfair. The One in Three Campaign – Family Violence - Australia says No! claims more than 30 per cent of domestic violence is towards men and the Australian version of The Guardian says 40 per cent. Then we have to factor in the male suicide rate is 60 per cent greater than the road toll. Intervention orders are issued at the rate of more than 1000 a week, which can be interpreted both ways. Education of young people must be mandatory through high school. Collaboration between people with sufficient emotional maturity to make equitable decisions and management of those violent dysfunctional people who are perpetrators will all be looked at by the Family Violence Commission currently underway.

laws), they treat us like mushrooms and keep us in the dark about things we have every right to be informed about. Tony Abbott's mantra of “we do what is in the interest of security of Australia at any cost”, is wearing thin with me. This behaviour is reminiscent of many authoritarian regimes around the world and can only lead to justifiable disquiet of people who are real democrats. It will lead to the radicalisation of many groups in our society who cannot seem to get a voice in the discussion about our future of how our society will be shaped. The example of [Speaker of the House of Representatives] Bronwyn Bishop attacking [Human Rights Commission president] Gillian Triggs on [ABC TV’s] Q&A last week for just doing her job, shows us how narrow minded this government has become.

LETTERS Follow the rules I am a part of the "loose alliance" of locals and others you refer to who are involved in making people aware of the true nature of the current RACV development proposal under consideration by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. In our view your article (“Resort tops lighthouse in its image warfare”, The News 16/6/15) is well balanced. However, we do wish to get our point across as a “loose alliance" group that we are not completely anti-RACV development. We are actually in favour of a development, just a more appropriate one than the current proposal before council. That is, one that complies with the governing planning controls. There are also several other serious uncertainties related to the development proposal that we argue council and the RACV must address before it can be approved. The current proposal should be about whether it complies with the planning scheme document. We believe it plainly and obviously does not. Specifically, clauses 5.24 and 5.27 of the applicable document. We have a number of other concerns about major uncertainties relating to the proposal which we are asking council and the RACV to first clarify and decide on before any approval decision is made. We do not believe it prudent or wise to approve this as-is when these uncertainties still exist and haven't been resolved.

This development proposal is not or should not be about the economic and other benefits of any future resort to the region. Those benefits should be a given and should be separate from the consideration of the development proposal. We are all in favour of a suitable compliant and sustainable development and have maintained and communicated this all along. Our case is that the development should go ahead, but simply not in its current form as it does not comply. Its impact on the immediately local resident community will be considerable. We have been in contact with Torquay residents, the site of a similar RACV resort. It was designed by the same architect and executed by mostly the same set of consultants. We have asked council if it could fully inform itself of some of the actions and behaviours of the RACV during and since that development took place, as they are of considerable concern to us going forward if they are accurate. Our concern is that we as a group are perceived as being anti-development, which is not true at all. We simply ask that any development be done according to the applicable rules.

Light relief The lights at Frankston-Dandenong and Seaford and Ballarto roads, Seaford, have recently been reprogrammed and are far more dangerous for walkers than before for the entire length of both the “walk” and the flashing “don't walk” periods. Drivers pass very close and at high speed to walkers when making turns and seem to feel no need to give way to walkers or to not pass them so closely. Drivers making U turns are especially dangerous and unpredictable. These lights need to be returned to their old program. Arthur Hawley, Seaford

Puzzling interest I, from afar, am still puzzling over Cr Andrew Dixon’s recent letter (“thanks for advice”, Letters, The News 2/6/15). Yes, he does need somebody to point out how interest works and thankfully David Harrison and John Cain have given him an elementary lesson that I hope, beyond hope, he can grasp. I am still trying to figure out how this relates to a million dollar house. Joe Lenzo, Safety beach

The fall and rise of James His half dozen steps to $240,000

We never expect to be in an accident, especially something as simple as a fall in a public space. But as we get older, these types of accidents can become a more common occurrence, so it is important that we know what to do when they happen. There are some basic steps you should follow if you do experience a fall in a public space:

The 6 Basic Steps 1. Look to see what has caused you to fall 2. Take a photo of what caused you to fall (mobile phones are great for this) 3. Get the names of all witnesses to the accident 4. Report the fall to those responsible for the public space 5. Do not sign any document (especially a Release) that may be given to you by those responsible for the public space

As he got up from his chair at a table, James stepped out and missed a step leading from the platform where he had CFFO TJUUJOH UP UIF NBJO nPPS PG UIF QVC He suffered a nasty injury to his right ankle which left him with considerable limitations, including the inability to walk freely and the need for ongoing medical care and family support.

had never had such a fall and therefore could not be expected to be on alert for TVDI BO BDDJEFOU UP PDDVS )FOSZ $BSVT and his team convinced them otherwise by using a simple thought process:

6. See a Personal Injury Lawyer as soon as possible.

5. He reported the fall to the security guard at the pub

If you follow these basic steps, you will tremendously enhance the opportunity to obtain compensation for any injuries suffered in the fall. Such was the experience of James who had a serious fall at a pub while having a drink with his wife.

While such arguments can be stated by anyone, we all know that much depends on who the speaker is in many areas of life.

When you think about insurance premiums, you start to realise itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just your money being collected to safeguard against unfortunate accidents in the future. That money is then pooled with other premiums, invested and sits waiting to be used when needed. So when accidents happen - as they inevitably do - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply a matter of moving the money back from the insurance company to the person who now needs it most... you. At Henry Carus, we know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entitled to, we know the system and we know what you deserve. It neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be combative if it is handled as an intelligent, informed process that moves the money back into your hands, in the amount you need and deserve.

Author teaches word craft to children

Shire to vote on resort

CHILDREN who enjoy writing stories or â&#x20AC;&#x153;devour booksâ&#x20AC;?, or dream of becoming an author are ideal candidates for writing workshops with bestselling Frankston author, Michelle Hamer. Hamer has run writing and publishing programs with local schools for several years and is now launching Wordsmiths, creative writing workshops, at the Frankston Library in term three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children have innate imagination and creativity,â&#x20AC;? Hamer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they can get overwhelmed when they try to order their thoughts on the page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By offering them some insight in to writing techniques and story structure they can have the satisfaction of creating cohesive, effective narratives.â&#x20AC;? Hamer says she also focuses on fostering imagination and creativity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids often get told off for daydreaming, I think we should encourage it. Fantasies and daydreams are integral to the life of an author, I do some of my best work while staring off in to space,â&#x20AC;? she says. Hamer is the author of 11 books published around the world. Last year she had four childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books published in Penguinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Our Australian Girl series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with kids is inspiring and challenging,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it gives me a great sounding board for new book ideas. The kids quickly let me know if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working on.â&#x20AC;? Wordsmiths Writing Workshops will run weekly Monday 20 July to 14 September at Frankston Library. Grade 1-3 from 4.10pm, 4-6 from 5.10pm, and secondary from 6.15pm. Cost: $200 a term. Details: facebook.com/wordsmithsworkshops or email: wordsmithsworkshops@yahoo.com.au

Continued from Page 1 The RACV wants to demolish the existing clubhouse and construct a building to accommodate 650 conference delegates, up from the existing 250 limit. It will have 120 rooms, a restaurant for 140 people and a cafe for 44 people, generating a major increase in traffic. On Friday, local state MP Martin Dixon, who has been critical of councillors not voting on the resort, said the Minister for Local Government had â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleared the way for the council, as the responsible authority, to finally make a decision and vote on the proposed RACV resort at Cape Schanckâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The long-term sustainability of employment on the Mornington Peninsula is dependent on these sorts of projects and I have recently encouraged the RACV to continue investing in the Mornington Peninsula, regardless of how councillors see this issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community rightly expects all prevarication over voting on the RACV project to be put to bed and that, subject to any genuine conflicts of interest, a full quota of councillors can properly exercise their vote as the responsible authority.â&#x20AC;? Councillors have been leery about conflict of interest since Cr Graham Pittock was fined $4000 plus massive costs in September 2014 after the Local Government Inspectorate took legal action in 2012 over him voting on Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre matters in 2012. SPA was to have a gym and Cr Pittock owns a gym in Dromana, 10km from the now-abandoned SPA site. A spokeswoman for objectors, Irene Wyld, said councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only concern

Is it too much to ask of the RACV that they do the same at Cape Schanck? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone keeps talking about the economic benefit that will come from the resort but is the council aware the RACV was successful in having its Torquay complex revalued, which saw the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate bill cut by $230,000?â&#x20AC;?

Peninsula Curtains

Big changes in the legislation for roller blind chain requirements are driving the rapid expansion and development of blind motorisation. Over time this new legislation will result in the complete phase out of all chains on roller blinds. In Europe, it will be compulsory for any new roller blind installed after 2017 to have motorisation instead of roller chains. These legislative changes will soon also apply to the Australian market. Peninsula Curtains is at the forefront of this change. We offer personalised solutions for all of your automation needs, with features that include; soft start and stop speed control, adjustable and automatic limits and intermediate positioning. Control options include; AC switching, digital technology, individual contact, sun control, timer control and group master control. Motorised curtain tracks are also a popular addition to open plan living. They create a soft room divider for extra privacy whilst still allowing for a large open plan feel when entertaining. They are designed to accommodate both one way and centre opening options, and are functional and quiet for optimal acoustics. :LWK WKH VLJQLÂżFDQW JURZWK DQG GHYHORSPHQW LQ WKH DUHD RI PRWRULVDWLRQ LWÂśV D SHUIHFW WLPH WR WDNH advantage of our Celsius sale by getting quality products with great value for money!

WINTER

HOMEMAKER

Say goodbye to gutter cleaning forever No matter what the season, it’s always a good time to invest in gutter protection and the team at Four Seasons Gutter Protection are the experts in their field. Having formed in 2003, the wholly owned and operated Australian company, Four Seasons Gutter Protection have the top of the range mesh to cover and protect your gutters and your home. Four Seasons was established due to a need for a product that is maintenance free and also to address the primary concerns of dust and sludge that builds up in the gutter system. The strong market desire for such a product drove Four Seasons to design and develop the new flow control mesh that has become the market leading product throughout Australia and New Zealand. Four Seasons offers service, advice and product knowledge second to none, and they are Australia’s leading gutter guard installer, supplier and manufacturer. Victorian manager, Denis, says that Four Seasons Gutter Protection is necessary during all seasons. “During summer the leaves in gutters are a fire hazard, in Autumn they clog the gutters, in winter, they lead to water overflowing and getting into rooves and eaves, and in spring, can lead to a huge vermin and bird problem in the roof,” says Denis. With Four Seasons Gutter Protection, phone for a free measure and quote on a product that has a 20 year warranty and a 30 year expected life.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The great public holiday fiasco By Stuart McCullough THIS madness must end. Once upon a time, public holidays meant something. Now they’re being handed out with all the sense of occasion and grandeur as third prize in a pub-raffle. Why, just the other week, we were forced to sit at home to wait out another one of these time-wasters. Don’t get me wrong; I like Bohemian Rhapsody as much as the next person, but telling everyone they can take the day off work to commemorate it seems a trifle over the top. It’s a question that demands an answer: why does Queen get a public holiday when other equally worthy musical acts go without? Surely Fleetwood Mac deserves a long weekend. The Beatles merit the better part of a week. And if Lady Gaga isn’t enough to let you go home early at least once a year, there’s simply no justice in this crazy mixed up world. Forget gold and platinum records; a day in your honour is where it’s at. Perhaps I’m hoping for too much. Granted, with ‘Grand Final Eve’ the bar for a public holiday has been set so low that almost anyone and anything can now fall over it; and if we can have a day off to celebrate something that’s not happened yet, we surely deserve some reprieve to let us kick out the jams. But if the powers that be aren’t musically inclined, then the least we can do is combine existing public holidays with great musical acts. That way, we can kill two birds with one Rolling Stone (metaphorically speaking, of course). If anyone needs a day off, it’s The

Beach Boys. Perhaps we can lump them in with Easter and celebrate Good Vibrations Friday? Or perhaps cast a light on a forgotten artist of yesteryear like Barry McGuire? Just the very notion of New Year’s Eve of Destruction seems oddly appropriate. Personally, I’d like for us all to put

our feet up and duff the lid of our collective cap to poodle-headed one-hit wonders of the eighties, Europe, by observing Grand Final Countdown Eve. Truth be told, maybe the reason I react so strongly against the Queen’s Birthday is that I don’t own any of

their albums. Not a one. Not in any format. You could scour my CDs, vinyl albums and cassettes all you wish and you won’t find anything by Freddy, Brian or the other two. The only version of ‘A Night At the Opera’ I own is by the Marx Brothers. When push comes to shove, I barely know any of their lyrics save for the bit that goes ‘Galileo’ in the alternating Mr. Gasbo / Emperor from ‘Return of the Jedi’ voices. Perhaps the real problem is that I feel guilty for taking the day at all. That said, we’re all a little bit to blame. Nobody talks about the absurdity of the Queen’s Birthday for fear that if we do, someone might just agree with us and take it away. That, frankly, is the wrong approach. Instead, we should be turning our minds to alternative days. Because the real reason people want to observe the Queen’s Birthday is to fill the vacuum that otherwise exists between Easter and Melbourne Cup Day. (I’m ignoring Grand Final Eve. You should too.) There are plenty of alternatives. Previously, I’ve suggested that we swap the Queen’s Birthday for Bloomsday on 16 June. That’s the day that celebrates James Joyce’s Ulysses. Before you snigger at the idea of having a day off for a book, I’ll simply say that Ulysses beats the Melbourne Cup hands down every day of the week and twice on the first Tuesday in November in terms of significance. I also proposed June 6 as ‘Convoy Day’, to celebrate the day on which a group of errant truckers decided to drive across America in C.W. McCall’s country-

pop masterpiece. But there are other options, too. July 1st has to be a contender. There’s no doubt that it’s a magical time of year. Autumn has bid its farewell. The days are getting ever shorter. And accountants everywhere are getting excited at the prospect of closing out another financial year. In fact, there’s nothing our family likes to do more than to head to our nearest major department store to gaze in wonder at the seasonal window display celebrating the start of the taxation season. This year’s theme is deductions. If we have time, we might even get our photo taken with the head of the ATO, perched on his knee while we list all the things we want from the coming financial year. Perhaps the thing that really gets my goat is giving all that attention to an overseas band rather than one from Australia. At this point, we shouldn’t need to suck up to a group from Britain just to get the day off. Next year, the Government should gazette Ted Mulry Appreciation Day instead. ‘AC/ DC Day’ feels strangely right. (Imagine the greeting card. You’d open it and be greeted with a tinny version of ‘Hell’s Bells’ or ‘The Jack’.) The Edinburgh Rose Tattoo is as good a reason for a backyard barbecue as you’re ever going to get. Or maybe we should be more discerning. It’s odd that some public holidays are days of great national significance and others seem to be the result of a clerical error. But what do I know? Now excuse me, I’ve got some music to listen to. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Yabbies cop another hiding NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt TYABB lost its second game in successive weeks by more than 200 points on Saturday in Nepean League, this time at the hands of Rye. The Yabbies booted one goal in the opening quarter and were restricted to just two behinds for the remainder of the match. Hastings too booted 38 goals last week against Tyabb and won by more than 200 points. This week Rye booted 18 goals in the opening half and 20 majors in the second hour to record a 38.20 (248) to 1.2 (8) win. The recent plight of Tyabb FC has been well documented and further highlights the incredible need for the governing body to put structures in place to ensure their long-term viability. As a club, Tyabb is united. It is working tirelessly but copping 200-point thrashings can be taxing. The Demons had 12 goal kickers on Saturday. Dean Millhouse and Adrian Gileno booted seven each, Andrew Dean kicked half a dozen and Ryan Mullett was the best player on the ground with five. Rye premiership coach Steve Ryan played seniors too and finished with two majors. Chris Samways and Adrian Clay worked tirelessly for the Yabbies.

Red Hill returned to the winners list against Devon Meadows after three weeks of misery. The Hillmen had lost their past three games and trailed the Meadows by three points at quarter time. The home side recovered to boot 10 goals to one after the first change to run out 11.14 (80) to 3.4 (22) winners. Jake Mold booted three goals and was impressive while Marcus Dal Lago and Blake McCormack were outstanding. Taz Douglas and Clint Walker were the best of the Meadows, along with Jess Dehey and Steve McInnes. Rosebud continued its march, this time thumping Pearcedale to the tune of almost 11 goals. The Buds set-up the win with a seven goal to two first quarter. They went on to win 18.15 (123) to 8.10 (58). Tom Baker booted five majors and Lachy Armstrong three while Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley dominated. Dylan Hoare and Ben Mitchell were the best of the Dales. Sorrentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tyrren Head continued his outstanding season on Saturday with a best afield five goals in his sides 17.9 (111) to 8.10 (58) win against Frankston. Leigh Poholke kicked three goals also for the winners while James Brigden and Troy Schwarze also saw a heap of the footy. Matt Harris and Jason Curry were the best of the Bombers.

Somerville was at its brilliant best on Saturday, booting eight goals to zip in the first quarter against Dromana and winning by 13 goals, 22.15 (147) to 10.8 (68). Rohan Hogenbirk and Jedd Sutton finished with three goals each for the Eagles while a further ten players contributed on the scoreboard. Timmy McGennis was superb once against for the Eagles, dominating through the middle of the ground, racking up possessions and finishing with a couple of goals. Justin Farrelly proved once again why he is one of the best big men in the game and Billy Rolfe played his best game for the season. It was a tough day at the office for the Tigers, although Christian Ongarello and Daniel Guerts worked hard. Hastings and Crib Point is usually a tough contest but it was very one-sided on Saturday, the Blues dominating and winning 22.19 (151) to 6.6 (42). Crib Point booted three goals to Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four in the opening quarter but was only able to kick three more majors for the match, compared to Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18 majors. Taylor Stratton booted five goals in a best afield performance for the Blues while Luke Clark finished with four. Shaun Foster and Paul Rogasch were outstanding. Brad Arnold and Dean Karies were the best of the Magpies.

This is the end: Pines saw off Chelsea to effectively finish the latter’s season in the Peninsula League despite a spectacular mark for the Gulls, above. Pictures: Gary Bradshaw

Edwards dominates Gulls in big win PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt FORMER West Coast Eagle, North Melbourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards played one of the most impressive games in Peninsula League memory on Saturday as Pines ended Chelsea’s season. Edwards had close to 40 possessions, took more than 15 marks, booted seven goals and was clearly head and shoulders above any other player on the ground in the Pythons’ 18.9 (117) to 8.17 (65) win over Chelsea. Edwards, who was the last player to kick 100 goals in the VFL at Frankston Dolphins before he was drafted to the Eagles, had as many possessions in the back half of the ground as he did in the offensive half – still, he finished with seven majors, four of which came in the last quarter. His fitness levels, aerial skills, willingness to work and appetite for the contest were clearly evident. Aaron was that good at Eric Bell Reserve that he made it look like he was

an 18-year-old playing under 11 footy. He was that dominant. He did have plenty of support from his team mates however, especially young ruckman Taylor Strachan, who was superb in the middle and around the ground. His significant performance allowed Guy and Beau Hendry to maintain Pines’ structures of staying at centre half back and centre half forward. Luke Holdcroft was also sensational for Pines, shutting down the dangerous Todd Gardiner. Gardiner has been in superb form for the Gulls this season but was lucky to get half a dozen touches on Saturday, such was the blanket role that Holdcroft played. Holdcroft did the same job on Mt Eliza’s Ben Landry the week before. Callum Gray was a youngster released from Frankston Dolphins and he showed a clean pair of heels while Chris Guganovic booted a goal in his 175th match, a milestone which gives him life membership of the club. Through the middle of the ground at

the contests, Billy Humphrey was in and under and has a body that can take the hits, while Brendan Cowell is in the same boat. Hudson Thomas was Chelsea’s best player, despite not being named in their best players. He was the only Gull to work hard over four quarters. Brad Clark was extremely good too, while young Matt Silva and Jason Clark, along with Jackson Arthur in the ruck were clearly their best four, along with Thomas. Chelsea trailed by six points at half time after ending a string of behinds (eight points in a row) with three goals in four minutes to end the quarter. However, the Gulls didn’t come out to play in the second half. Pines improved their skill execution and snagged 12 goals to four in the second half. Bonbeach kept its finals hopes well and truly alive, leading for most of the afternoon to beat an injury-riddled Mornington. After copping an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Frankston YCW

last week, the Sharks got their noses in front in the match against the Dogs and went on to record a 12.15 (87) to 11.11 (77) victory. Mornington coach Chris Holcombe said on The RPP Footy Show before the match that he was missing eight of his best 21 players from the side. However, the Dogs were still able to beat Langwarrin last week with a similar list. Jackson Casey was at his best for the Sharks with three goals while Dylan Jones had the better of Michael Gay in the ruck. Adam Symes played forward again for the Dogs and finished with six majors. Langwarrin beat Karingal 14.14 (98) to 3.3 (21) as expected. The Bulls had numbers behind the footy from the outset and the Kangas were forced to navigate their way through. Shane Paterson and Scott Sienkiewicz (three goals) were outstanding for the Kangas while Blake Harkness continues his run of dominant perform.

Grant Goodall and Aaron Lees were the best of the Bulls, as was other leaders Luke Van Raay and Grant Paxton. Frankston YCW made it two big wins in successive weeks with an 18.19 (127) to 4.6 (30) win against Seaford. Dromana recruits Paul Minchington and Anthony Bruhn booted five and four goals respectively while Kyle Hutchison and Scott Macleod dominated. Aaron Walton booted two for the Tigers and Matt Herbert and Nick Braund collected the top votes. Mt Eliza bounced back from its loss to Pines last week to lead all afternoon to beat Edithvale-Aspendale. The Redlegs led for the majority of the afternoon, kicking six goals to three after the main change to win 12.21 (93) to 7.9 (51). Scott Lockwood booted four majors and Justin Van Unen three while Karl Lombardozzi and Ben Landry were dominant. Mark Mullins and Brad Tagg were the best of the Eagles.
