Nature on the syllabus WHAT did the frog say when he saw all the books in the school library? “Read it, read it!”

An Eastbourne Primary School science classroom is next door to the new frog pond and nature studies area. It has been planted with indigenous species grown at The Briars and bought through a Mornington Peninsula Shire grant.

The school commissioned street artist Sheldon Headspeath to design and spray-paint a picture that relates to both science and the frog pond/nature studies area.

Headspeath is well known on the peninsula for his street art, with artistic designs at Rosebud West, Hastings and Mornington.

Call to halt work on SPA A MOVE that “nothing further be done by council and management” on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre at the chosen Rosebud foreshore site was due to go to the Monday’s (8 September) council meeting.

This could effectively bring an end to the controversial pool complex on the foreshore. Councillors are evenly divided on the issue, with Cr Graham Pittock unable to vote on SPA matters and Cr David Gibb on leave in the Kimberley.

Cr Lynn Bowden was expected to be at the meeting, meaning five councillors would almost certainly support

the move and four would probably oppose it. The mayor Cr Antonella Celi can only use her casting vote to break a deadlock.

If Cr Gibb does not return for the meeting the motion will succeed 5-4.

The notice of motion, from Cr Hugh Fraser, is his latest bid to prevent the $40-plus million SPA development from going ahead as some councillors and staff push hard for state government approval before the 29 November state election.

Cr Fraser also seeks councillor approval for a letter to be written to Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith requesting him to “withdraw his consent to the proposed use of the Rosebud foreshore” for the SPA.

ty halls, should not be on the foreshore and such existing facilities should “be relocated as the opportunity arises”.

Rosebud’s existing community hall is proposed to be incorporated into the SPA complex, along with a gymnasium and other facilities.

The coastal strategy also states that proposed foreshore uses must show a “demonstrated need to be sited on the coast, based on support for and direct linkage to, coastal activities and that the use cannot be feasibly located elsewhere”.

It would be difficult for the shire to argue that a pool complex meets the new coastal strategy’s requirement that it cannot be feasibly located off the foreshore.

for a task force to achieve this drawingtogether of facilities, that would report back to councillors on 13 October.

The notice of motion notes that Mr Smith has consented to the use – but not the development – of the Rosebud foreshore for the SPA. Mr Smith sought further information from the shire before considering further approval. The shire has not yet provided this material.

The notice also sets out provisions of the recently released Victorian Coastal Strategy, which states: “Coastal Crown land is not used for structures unless their functionality depends on them being near the water.”

He further seeks councillor approval to have council staff report back to council on 22 September on the state of “the objectives and actions” relating to the shire’s Rosebud Coastal Management Plan January of 2012.

The land council bought at Wannaeue Place as a possible SPA site is also mentioned in Cr Fraser’s motion.

He seeks “better provision of health and wellbeing, library, community, civic and municipal facilities” to occupy the site, plus the possibility of adding state government “health and educational facilities” and other appropriate government and non-government undertakings.

Cr Fraser also seeks approval for a shire approach to the state government

Man tries to grab schoolgirl

A NINE-year-old Rosebud girl has told police a man driving a white Toyota utility tried to grab her by the arm as she was walking to school on Friday morning.

Detective Sergeant John Coburn, of Rosebud CIU, said the incident occurred on the northern side of Besgrove St, next to the soccer fields, at 8.50am.

The vehicle, being driven on the wrong side of the road travelling west, stopped next to girl. The driver, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, said “come here kid” but the girl refused.

The man then allegedly attempted to grab her from the driver’s seat.

The girl told police she evaded his grasp and ran away. She was not harmed. The man then drove off in the opposite direction.

He is described as being aged about 40, caucasian, bald with a grey beard down to his lower neck, with a large build and a tattoo on his right upper arm of a skeleton, or similar. He was wearing a white t-shirt with short sleeves.

The vehicle has Toyota written across the tailgate and a black fabric canopy.

Anyone with information, or who has experienced a similar incident, should call Rosebud Crime Investigation Unit on 5986 0416 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Pink Angels walk to fight cancer THE Angel Op Shop’s fund raising team, the Pink Angels, are in training for February’s Weekend Walk to End Women's Cancer for the Peter MacCallum Hospital.

As well, Bunnings, Sealey and Dulux are combin-

Last Thursday, Bunnings hosted a sausage sizzle to raise money for Peter Mac, with entertainment by The Nightcap radio show. It raised $300. Picture: Yanni

Women, children key to poll Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Community Legal Centre has joined an alliance of leading Victorian community organisations aiming to push family violence to the top of the state election agenda.

The legal service is a member of the Victorian Family Violence Alliance, a group of leading family violence organisations calling on the state’s political parties to commit to wide-ranging policies across housing, justice, police, health, education and other portfolios to keep women and children safe from family violence in Victoria.

Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway said the alliance’s No More Deaths campaign aimed to put family violence at the forefront of political debate top in the

lead-up to November’s state election.

“We are acutely aware of the harm caused to individuals and the wider community by family violence, and the need for far-reaching and systemic change in how family violence is addressed,” Ms Galloway said.

“We are still reeling from the shocking family violence deaths that have occurred in our community. In 2013 alone, there were 29 family violence deaths in Victoria.

“Family violence is the second most common legal issue affecting our clients and can include physical assault, threats, sexual assault, harm to pets and property, emotional, psychological and financial abuse.

“It is also horrifying to consider that, in one in three cases reported to police, children witness family violence.”

Domestic Violence Victoria CEO Fiona McCormack said the state election provided a critical focal point for drawing attention to the need for reform in how society addresses family violence.

“Our hearts have been torn by the horrific violence we see devastating the lives of everyday Victorians,” Ms McCormack said. “Throughout the election campaign, we will assess commitments on family violence for how they compare to other public safety and justice promises.”

ALP candidate for Nepean Carolyn Gleixner agreed domestic violence deserved to be at the top of the agenda in the upcoming election campaign.

She said rising crime rates across Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula

were being fuelled in part by domestic violence, showing the need for urgent action.

“It is a shocking fact that family violence is the main contributor to death, disability and injury in Australian women under the age of 45, generates years of devastation for families, and can lead to the tragic death of children,” Ms Gleixner said.

“These statistics translate into very real and traumatic situations. It’s simply not good enough.”

She said she was especially concerned about the closure of services on the peninsula that had provided support to victims of family violence.

“We have lost the prevention and crisis intervention of Elida Radig’s Domestic Violence Service and Women’s Resource Centre in Rye, which was a fantastic support to the local community.”

Racing club unveils its new ‘face’ THIS year’s Face of the Mornington Racing Club, Caitrin O’Rourke, is no stranger to racecourses.

The 29-year-old nurse from Ireland relocated to Australia two years ago and has always had a keen interest in horse racing.

“My dad and brothers had shares in horses in Ireland and I have been doing show jumping and racing since I was a lass. While I was putting myself through uni I rode track work for trainers to earn extra money,” said Ms O’Rourke, who lives next to the Mornington Racecourse with her partner, racecourse vet Eoin Kelly.

Ms O’Rourke arrived in Melbourne two years ago on Peninsula Cup Day and spent her first seven days at seven different race meetings.

“In my first week here, I spent all my time at Moonee Valley and then Mornington,” she said.

“While I was waiting for my nursing registration, I worked for Pat Carey in Mornington and Gai Waterhouse at Randwick doing track work.

“I have ridden races in Ireland and some charity races and still do work around the racecourse.

“I was attracted to Mornington because that’s where Eoin is based and have loved making it my new home. I can understand why so many people from Ireland and England have moved here.”

As a paediatric nurse at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Ms O’Rourke says racing and fashion provide a great outlet.

“I love getting dressed up to go to the races and am looking forward to

representing the local community.

I like to shop locally and support peninsula boutiques and milliners,” she said.

“Although I have competed in a few fashions on the field, this is the first time I have applied for anything like this and can’t wait to start attending functions and putting outfits together.”

Ms O’Rourke said that when it comes to fashion, it is best to stick with what works for you.

“Style is a very individual thing and it’s important to stay with what suits you,” she said.

“This spring carnival we will see bold floral prints, bold colours like bright yellows and acid orange as well as prints like houndstooth.

“My personal style is classical with nice dresses and I always seem to wear pearls.

“The most important thing is to wear what you feel comfortable and confident in. If you have a long day at the races make sure your shoes fit you well and are comfortable like wedges instead of stilettos.”

As the new Face of Mornington Racing Club, Ms O’Rourke receives a 12-month modelling and management contract, pampering and style packages and $500 cash.

She will also have the opportunity to attend fashion and race day events and be involved in on-stage interviews and hosting events, trophy presentations, media interviews and fashions on the field competitions.

Judges felt that Ms O’Rourke’s international horse racing experience, dedication to learning the ropes, savvy fashion sense, outgoing personality

Jailed overnight A MAN who was refused entry to the Continental Hotel, Sorrento, at 12.30am on Sunday 31 August was later fined $590 for being drunk in a public place. Police said the man was intoxicated after “preloading at home”. He was described as being argumentative with security staff and police who were present in relation to another matter. When the man refused to leave he was arrested and taken to Rosebud police station where he was lodged in the cells for the night.

Parols breached A 27-year-old man from Warburton and man, 45, from Meadow Heights were arrested for allegedly breaching parole at 2am on Monday 25 August in Country Club Av, Dromana. Police said the breach occurred as a result of the men possessing a baton and by not being at their homes during night time.

Ice charges POLICE allege a 22-year-old man from Narre Warren South had a quantity of the drug ice hidden in his clothing when arrested at the Seawinds car park, Arthurs Seat, on Tuesday 26 August at 3.30am. He was bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrate's Court.

On course: Mornington Racing Club’s Face of Racing Caitrin O’Rourke is a racecourse regular, both in the fashion and horse riding stakes.

A 44 year old Frankston man was arrested on Arthurs Seat on Thursday 28 August at 12.40am after the drug GHB was allegedly found in his car along with a large quantity of cash.

He was arrested and charged with trafficking and remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrate's Court.

which will be a huge asset in her new role at Mornington,” racecourse manager Angela Cleland said.

Ms O’Rourke’s first appearance in her new role is at Sportingbet Peninsula Cup Day on Sunday 3 November.

Sharks’ stalwart honoured for volunteer services Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SORRENTO’S Geoff Morgan has been named the AFL’s volunteer of the year for his long-time commitment to football.

Morgan “Morgo”, 76, has spent 60 years with the Sorrento Football Netball Club playing 200 senior games and then heading up the club’s administration. He joined as an under-13s player and has served the Sharks continuously, in various capacities, since then.

Morgan also has been a mainstay of the Sorrento Cricket Club.

Long-time TV and newspaper sports columnist Scot Palmer said the town was thrilled that the AFL, through its volunteer themed round 17, had chosen Morgan for the award.

Sharks through and through: Geoff Morgan has been named the AFL’s Volunteer of the Year.

The volunteer recognition program – which began during the AFL’s 150 year celebrations – rewards seven volunteers nominated by clubs, leagues and associations. They may have contributed to a major project during the year or in other roles over a long period.

Asked what he liked about volunteering at the club, Morgan said: “The

young blokes keep me feeling young.

I like being on their planet and not the oldies.”

PCN Sports Alliance chief executive officer Jeff Jones said volunteers were “the backbone of football and netball in Victoria”.

“Throughout Victoria across all leagues, it is estimated that more than 35,500 volunteers work tirelessly each weekend to maintain football and netball at the grass roots level. Volunteers come in many forms, from players and coaches to committee members and supporters, but each and every club relies on their combined contribution to survive.”

PCN Sports Alliance themed rounds 17 and 18 as Volunteer Rounds to highlight the efforts of those whose actions and dedication have made a sig-

nificant difference to their football and netball clubs.

“I am sure it an extremely proud day for Geoff and his family, friends, Sorrento Football Netball Club, players, supporters and any person who has been involved with him over the years,” Jones said.

Morgan, born in Elsternwick in 1938, has played football, cricket and been an administrator for the Sorrento football and cricket clubs for more than 60 years. He first played as a 13 year old in the reserves and was selected in the seniors aged 16. He played more than 200 games up until 1970, and was a member of the 1964 premiership winning Mornington Peninsula Football League team.

He joined the club’s committee in 1984 as treasurer and team manager –

and still holds these positions. He was Reserves team manager from 1984 for five seasons and attends every training session as well as home-and-away games from the Under 18s upwards.

The club estimates he has spent, on average, 25 hours each week on football club activities over the past 30 years. He has not received – and would refuse – any sort of payment for his services.

Outside the Sorrento Football Netball Club Morgan is a valued member of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League historians committee which meets each month.

Accolades are not new to Morgan. In 2OOO he received the Australian Sporting Achievement Award and the Australian Sports Medal from the Queen and Prime Minister John Howard.

Health benefits: Marie Bailey (centre) with Doris and Brian Hilton practicing Tai Chi.

Bridge not too far for 80-year-old Marie TAI Chi’s the answer to all kinds of health problems, according to Mornington enthusiast and teacher, Marie Bailey. “It has value in treating and preventing anxiety, fatigue, joint stiffness, muscle tension, poor posture, stress and, most prominently, arthritis,� she said. “It also teaches people how to stand up properly with correct posture which helps people with their everyday life.�

The 80-year-old, who had experienced arthritis for many years, took up Tai Chi eight years ago and responded so well that – for her milestone birthday – she was able to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. “I would never have been able to do that without Tai Chi,� she said. “I put it all down to Tai Chi.�

Ms Bailey started as a participant in the Tai Chi group at The Masonic Centre, Mornington, before being asked to become a Tai Chi group leader with Peninsula Health’s Community Health division.

The community Tai Chi classes are run six times a week and attract around 80 participants.

The leaders are trained by Arthritis Victoria and are provided with regular updates so they can better help those suffering from arthritis. “I was shocked when I was asked to become a leader,� Ms Bailey said. “I’m a very shy person and it has really boosted my confidence.�

She said the low impact, slow motion exercise allowed her to go, without pausing, through a series of motions. “As you move you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention on your bodily sensations,� she said. “Anyone can do Tai Chi with any condition, many people think they can’t because of a crook knee or shoulder, but you can. All of the movements can be modified to suit your capability.

You can even do Tai Chi sitting down if you need to.�

She said the group helped hundreds of people every year stay healthy, connect with others and build lasting friendships.

Another life lost: Police survey the wreckage of a Holden Commodore station wagon at the intersection of Shands Rd and Mornington-Flinders Rd where a 27-year-old woman died on Sunday. Picture: Gary Sissons

Woman dies in Main Ridge crash A 27-year-old woman died when the car she was travelling in collided with a ute at Main Ridge on Sunday.

The woman, from East Melbourne, was the front seat passenger in a Holden Commodore station wagon which collided with a Toyota ute at the intersection of Shands and Mornington-Flinders roads about 11.30am.

Police said the crash appeared to have occurred when the station wagon travelling along Shands Rd crossed through the intersection into the path of the ute on Mornington-Flinders Rd. The male driver of the station wagon suffered minor injuries and was taken to Frankston Hospital.

The P-plated driver of the ute was taken to Rosebud Hospital for observation and is assisting police with their inquiries.

Major collision investigation unit detectives, who attend-

ed the crash scene on Sunday afternoon, are looking into the cause of the incident.

The woman’s death ended a horror weekend on Victorian roads, with four lives lost.

The state’s road toll stands at 167 so far this year, 11 more fatalities than the same period last year.

Later that night, a man and woman were lucky not to have been added to death toll after the car they were travelling in crashed into a pole at McRae. The male driver, aged in his 20s, and female passenger, aged in her 30s, were seriously injured in the crash on Point Nepean Rd about 12.30am.

Rescue crews worked for about an hour to release the pair from the wreckage of their vehicle.

They were both airlifted to The Alfred hospital.

Shire’s new epoch starts with a whimper

By David Harrison Special Special Purposes Committee meeting, Mornington Peninsula Shire offices, Besgrove St, Rosebud, Monday 1 September (the first day of spring) QUESTION: Why would Council Watch have turned up to a closed-to-the-public council meeting, the ̔Special’ Special Purposes Committee Meeting (SSPC) of 1 September?

Answer: Because he had heard that this was going to be an even more special ̔Special’ Special Purposes Committee Meeting – it was likely to be open to the public. And that made it very special indeed. An epoch starter, in fact.

And so it turned out. But, other than ushering in the new epoch, it was a bit of a fizzer, more whimper than bang, involving a deferral of council business, a bit of confusion and possibly what was intended to be a Death Stare aimed at CW. Special purposes committee meetings are usually in-camera affairs, whose agendas begin by telling the public that “All reports, information and recommendations … have been designated by the Chief Executive Officer as confidential” and that “The Committee may resolve that the meeting be closed to members of the public”.

The official minutes of this SSPC begin thus, then record: “Meeting closed to the public”, in capital letters. This was a motion to exclude the public, moved by Cr Anne Shaw and seconded

by Cr Antonella Celi.

Then (stick with CW; this is epoch-making

stuff) Cr Celi moved a procedural motion, that debate begin. It lapsed for want of a seconder. The substantive motion, to exclude the public, was lost, meaning that the meeting had not been deemed confidential.

Epoch-making because the council old guard had been outvoted by the new guard, which now includes new Red Hill ward councillor Tim Wood.

So, a SSPC that was not confidential!

Behold the shining dawn of a new, open and transparent epoch. Or era, if you prefer.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have over the years done some of their best work behind closed doors, out of sight and sound of ratepayers, with heavy penalties for any attendee, staff or councillor, caught leaking the proceedings.

It should be added swiftly and emphatically that closed meetings are essential for some council business. The trouble comes when, as shire CEO Michael Kennedy conceded recently, items he declares “confidential” can contain material that is not confidential and the meeting would thus need to be closed and opened repeatedly, like the front door of the Ritz Hotel. Not bureaucratically efficient, CW agrees. But necessary.

Back to the SSPC minutes. They record that confidential Item 3.1, “Refinancing of the 2013/2014 Commonwealth Bank of Australia Loan”, was deferred to the 8 September council meeting. Moved, Cr Hugh Fraser, seconded, Cr Tim Rodgers.

Carried, apparently after some spirited old guard resistance, CW believes. He had not at this stage arrived at the meeting, which closed at 5.42.

For the record, two councillors, Lynn Bowden and David Gibb were apologies.

Council now has two lawyers, Hugh Fraser and Tim Wood, around the table,

men with profound respect for dealing with the law in the bright spotlight of public scrutiny.

CW arrived after 5.42 and therefore was unaware that the SSPC had ended. Councillors were proceeding quietly with other business. CW took a seat, sole occupier of the gallery, and prepared to take notes.

“Excuse me, sorry, we’re in an informal meeting here, not a formal council meeting,” said meeting chair Cr David Garnock.

“So would you mind leaving? The SPC is finished.”

The SSPC meeting had been designated by the CEO as confidential, Cr Garnock said.

“No, we never went into camera,” Cr Graham Pittock interjected. “As it was a public meeting, we can tell you that the item has been deferred until next Monday.”

So CW packed up and left.

But not before an intent examination from the mayor Antonella Celi, sitting in the councillor semi-circle and quite adjacent to the gallery. The scrutiny, redolent of federal Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s famed Death Stare, lasted perhaps 30 seconds before she packed her papers and vacated the chamber.

As Death Stares go (if such it was), it needs work. Ms Bishop can, rumour has it, turn men hardened in the stoush of politics, state, federal and international, to pillars of salt, to sobbing, incoherent jellies, to useless husks, to catatonic blobs, with a Stare of just seconds.

Vlad Putin, beware. CW managed to exit the chamber as usual, an intact biped, capable of reporting another day. But he has been put on notice … with more practice the Stare might gain lethal voltage.

Pretty in pink: Frankston RSL staff help launch the Very Special Kids Piggy Bank Appeal which will make its way across the peninsula. Picture: Gary Sissons

A special piggy bank FIVE giant piggy banks, each three metres in height and weighing in at 700 kilograms, will be travelling around the peninsula this month to raise money for children with life-threatening conditions.

The annual Very Special Kids Piggy Bank Appeal kicked off at Frankston RSL on last Friday (5 September).

Keep an eye out for the giant piggy banks as they stop at Red Hill Craft Market, Rye Hotel, Frankston Market, Commonwealth Bank in Rosebud, Commonwealth Bank in Mornington, Mornington Craft Market and Tully’s Corner Produce Store.

Very Special Kids supports 184 families in the Southern Metro region, and 830 across Victoria, that are caring for children with life-threatening conditions. With an office in Hastings, its services can be accessed from a child’s diagnosis through to recovery or bereavement, and include Victoria’s only children’s hospice, Very Special Kids House.

This year’s Piggy Bank Appeal aims to raise more than $1 million to enable the charity to continue operating its services.

Very Special Kids CEO Dr Sarah Hosking says the charity welcomes support from the Victorian community.

“Without generous donations from our community, we would not be able to offer much-needed services to these brave families,” she says.

You can make a donation or purchase merchandise online at www.piggybankappeal.org.au A calendar of piggy stops can be found on the website.

Be ready to back off in the mist

Early catch: Ian Kunq Loh caught this snapper off Mt Eliza.

FOG and times of poor visibility call for caution. Recreational boaters need to remember that fog shuts down international airports, highly trained and experienced pilots struggle to safely navigate their craft. What makes the skippers of recreational vessels think that they are any different?

Visibility is critical to safety, navigation and orientation.

GPS units, if you know how to use them are great. However there are many factors that can affect their accuracy, the number of stations being received, the strength of the antenna, validity of maps and data and wether errors are in the timing system.

Put simply, reduced visibility needs to result in reduced speed (10-15knots in my opinion). In heavy fog vessels need to keep in mind the obligation to see and avoid others as well as see and avoid hazards.

Even if you have a radar fitted, most

don't, so while you might know where they are, they still have no clue about you.

What happens if your GPS fails, your battery fails, you suffer and engine failure or you get disorientated ?

The water can be a very lonely and dangerous place, it's better to wish you were on the water than to wish you weren't.

Tips: 1) If the GPS fails stop moving and drop the anchor if safe to do so. Try seeing if you can use Google Maps on your phone to help you get some bearings or to share your position.

Check connections and fuses.

2) Travel at a safe speed. Most on-water collisions involve poor visibility and speed.

3) If in doubt, opt out. If you're not familiar with the waterway or your not extremely competent reading and using your GPS and sounder don't go.

There’s something in the air: snapper

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro YOU can smell it, you can see and you can feel it. Spring is here, excitement bounds, AFL finals, horse racing and snapper fishing.

In the bays - Port Phillip and Western Port - the water warms and the fishing heats up. All of the popular table fish are caught and snapper are the prime target.

Snapper are part of Melbourne folk law, they are a local institution.

Tradies swap tool trailers for boat trailers, work is either completed at a rapid rate or not at all, people talk of marks, meters, rigs, rods, burley, bait, times and tides.

The first week of the AFL finals is the preparation time for the snapper fisher. Out in the shed listening to the footy, reels are oiled and respooled, rigs are tied. The boat battery is charged, oils, plugs and filters changed and trailer checked.

Outboards are tuned and serviced

and weather patterns are followed like a prophet.

The key to success during fishing season are the five Ps: prior preparation prevents poor performance. Ten per cent of the anglers catch 90 per cent of the fish, so don't sit here reading my waffle. Start prepping. Get on your gear, outboard, safety equipment, trailer, boat, electronics, car, fresh bait and navigation lights all prepared.

Already we are getting a few early season snapper, the water temperature is still low but it's on rise. Squid, flathead, couta, leather jacket, red mullet and a few gummy sharks are about in both bays.

Preseason is over, we're into the season proper now, time to get on board!

In southern Port Phillip there are some good sized squid. While the quantity factor for squid is to the mid (Safety beach-Point Cook) to north, the large squid are to the south.

Gummy sharks are also about in

the southern channels along with the occasional snapper. Those fishing the weed beds are getting a few salmon, whiting and flathead.

The deep waters from Mt Martha to Carrum are seeing anglers landing a few early season snapper, there are a lot of baits between bites as the water temperature is still low.

From the piers squid have been consistent all over the peninsula, Flinders pier has good numbers of grass whiting, Sorrento has a few salmon and Mornington and Frankston are seeing the occasional garfish. Over the next two weeks land based anglers will start getting stuck into good snapper. Places worth a try are Mt Martha, Mornington Mordialloc and Black Rock.

In Western Port squid have been very good. From Flinders to Quail bank squid up to two kilograms have been common. Anglers drifting jigs over weed beds in two to five metres

have been successful. In the deeper water gummy sharks have been about.

Boat anglers fishing Eagle rock, Joes Island and Crawfish rock are getting some nice early season snapper to five kilograms, while occasionally tussling with a snapper shark (school shark) or two.

Whiting have been quiet for the last few weeks but they'll come on over the next three weeks as the water warms.

Play it safe on the water. Tight lines and calm seas.

A RADIO program featuring indigenous stories of the peninsula - from the past to the present - will go to air each Friday for six weeks.

This first-ever series of 12 interviews will run noon-1pm from 26 September.

The pre-recorded program Stories from Boon Wurrung Country was launched at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club last week after eight months in the making.

It features stories from the traditional owners Boon Wurrung, other members of the indigenous community and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Boonwurrung Foundation elder Carolyn Briggs sets the scene throughout the series which will be broadcast on local radio station RPP 98.7FM, which has its studios in Wilson St, Mornington.

Radio producer and presenter Sina Summers said the programs were “jampacked” with stories handed down through the ages, about people’s lifestyles and events – such as the melting of the ice age 9000 years ago and the subsequent forming of the bay and Bass Strait islands. “Did you know the bay was once a fertile plain?” she asked.

Different people will talk about their lives and important events they remember – pre and post-war - and others that have been passed down to them. An indigenous archaeologist will speak about areas of interest to the Aborigines, another about Aborigines in the education system, while others will speak about their relationships with the shire.

“Each has a different story to share about their own journey,” Ms Summers said. “For me the challenge was to make them into stories.”

The sessions will focus on indigenous life on the peninsula.

Trafficking A St Kilda man, 19, was allegedly found in possession of the drugs ecstasy, ice and cannabis when arrested on Wednesday 27 August at 12.40am.

He was taken to Rosebud police station where he was charged with trafficking. He was bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrate’s Court.

Timor evening PADUA College’s Year 11 and 12 Social Justice students are hosting an evening of Timorese stories and culture.

“Putting Timor Leste on Our Map...” is on Tuesday 16 September, 7-9pm, at the New Peninsula Centre, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. It is a free event but donations are welcome.

Woodworkers ride high for hospital appeal A HAND-crafted rocking horse valued $3000 has been donated by Southern Peninsula Woodworkers and the Rotary Club of Rosebud -Rye to help Rosebud Hospital raise funds for the purchase of urgently needed equipment.

The colourful rocking horse, which is currently sitting in the foyer at Rosebud Hospital, is being raffled by the hospital’s Kiosk Auxiliary to raise money for the purchase of a CT scanner.

Southern Peninsula Woodworkers president John Bayliss said the rocking horse was the result of about 60 hours of “loving labour” by Woodworkers volunteers.

“The hardest part was the carving of the horse to make sure all surfaces were smooth,” he said, adding that every detail from the embroidered leather saddle to the long mane of real horse hair

sourced from Sydney had been hand crafted.

Rosebud Hospital chief nursing officer Jodi Foley thanked the Woodworkers and Rotary club members for their contribution. She said money raised from the raffle would provide a welcome boast to the Rosebud Hospital CT Scanner Appeal, which is aiming to raise $1.6 million for an ultrasound machine and computed tomography scanner.

“Every little bit raised towards our appeal is one step closer to reaching our goal,” she said.

“We are very grateful to John and the other woodworkers for donating such a beautiful rocking horse in support of our appeal. Whoever wins it will be very lucky to have it in their home.”

Raffle tickets can be purchased from the Rosebud Hospital Kiosk for $2 each, or $20 per book.

The raffle will be drawn on 16 December 2014.

LETTERS Conflict questioned I was disgusted to read that Cr Graham Pittock was found guilty of a conflict of interest for voting on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre in council (‘Pittock guilty of conflict over gym’, The News 2/9/14). How is his business going to be affected in Dromana?

This decision effectively bars Dromana residents from having a say on how their rates are spent.

Council was notified of Cr Pittock’s squash and gym business by an “anonymous” tip-off and you don’t have to be blind Freddie to know where the tip-off came from considering the toxicity permeating the air in council chambers.

It is to be hoped that no other councillor or their relatives or friends have any interests in say, a wellness centre on the southern peninsula.

Is it a conflict of interest if a farmer on the council has a vote on the farm rate?

Is council allowed to operate a commercial

business that will jeopardise the operations of a similar private commercial business and, if it is, why are councillors allowed to vote on something that would obviously be a conflict of interest for the shire?

This council really is the pits.

Transport pain I received a parking fine at Kananook station which made me wonder about people trying to work in the city. The fine was for parking on the mud and was imposed by a highway patrol officer in a $100,000 plus bells and whistles car. I wondered why he was patrolling car parks when I had idiots screaming up Oliver's Hill at 100kph plus. Bandits are robbing service stations and he is wandering around car parks looking for criminals parking on the mud.

I wonder why we have had 100 per cent population growth in the area since I arrived 1972 and

yet we have the same car parking? There’s been a bit of tar, but little else has changed.

A big thing has been made of rebuilding Mornington pier so people can hang a fishing line off, yet we have no improvements for the vast number of people trying to use our rail service.

The state spends millions on advertisements telling us to use the train but there’s no parking.

Is it me, or has the entire government lost the plot? We have had lots of information on the growth in demand yet we are still in the 1970s with our planning?

Albert Feather, Mornington

Liberal trust I refer to Ken Dyer's letter (‘Ludicrous Plan’, Letters – The News 26/8/14) and to other recent letters on the much-debated expansion of the Port of Hastings. Firstly, I wish to commend Hastings MP Neale Burgess on his full page advertisement "Why Hastings is the answer!" (The

Advertisement

News Page 3, 26/8/14).

I wonder how many of the naysayers in our community have actually bothered to read it!.

Sure, Victorian governments have changed their tune on several occasions over many years as to the best location for a port. However, it must be remembered that forgetting the current Coalition's term, we have had 21 years of Labor in 28 years of Victorian governments.

There's also been a good number of stuff-ups along that road without naming the obvious culprits. We will be continuing to pay big bucks from our tax take for years to come thanks mainly to the past decisions of our Labor government.

The Port of Melbourne will run out of capacity in a decade or so and if we do nothing, or even contemplate the disaster that Labor is suggesting over the other side of Port Phillip, we might as well start to close down Victoria earlier in the day or take a daily siesta while the world moves on.

I love the Mornington Peninsula and would also love to see local and sustainable jobs for my grandchildren down this neck of the woods.

In the end, you have to put your trust in governments with some perceived ethics, and I have a much greater faith in those of a Liberal persuasion to do the right thing.

Southern Peninsula News 9 September 2014

The mind boggles when, after pointing to the incredible damage human interference at the catchments and swamps around Western Port has caused, Dick Cox seems to suggest that the dredging for the port of Hastings could be OK if only it would be done environmentally sensitively (‘Disaster here now’, Letters, The News 2/9/14). At the beginning of his letter he blames some of the damage to the bay on the removal of mangroves. That is exactly what is going to happen to the north of the existing port if [expansion] ever goes ahead.

The great worry for many environmentalists, fisher people and the tourist trade, is that Flinders MP and Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt will act as he has in the case of the coal port dredging in Queensland, and just let it pass, even against good advise from the scientist who should know. Or worse still, he'll abrogate his responsibility for the environment nationally, to the vested interests of the states.

This port is not going to bring the thousands of local jobs as promised by real estate agents or politicians with vested interests or ideological barrows to push. This port will be almost completely automated, as will be the proposed transport links.

All we here in the Western Port region will get is a spoiled environment and the loss of tourism and recreational fishing.

This is no development for a Ramsar protected world heritage area.

Dick Cox trusts in the decency of vested multinational interests. I do not share that misplaced trust.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

The letter “Historical port” by Mike Lean, CEO of the Port of Hastings Development Authority (The News 26/8/14) contains a significant factual error. Mr Lean claims “it needs to be pointed out that the Port of Hastings has been an active port for more than 50 years and in that time handled large quantities of crude oil, gas and steel without any environmental incidents”.

It is on record that Esso Australia, acting as a service provider to Esso Australia Resources, was convicted on 12 June 1992 of a pollution offence under the Victorian Environment Protection Act 1970 following a spill of 10,000 litres of crude oil at its Long Island Point facility.

Esso Australia Pty Ltd was fined $5000 plus $1450 costs.

Mr Lean would have known of Esso being subject to proceedings under a state law for the protection of the environment or the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, or should have known of the proceedings, and should not have submitted his letter with his comments on “environmental incidents”.

As no retraction or correction has been forthcoming, I believe his position is now untenable.

Maurice Schinkel, Cowes

Channels run deep A letter in a recent edition of The News by Linda Drewitt of Balnarring queries the depth of West-

ern Port’s shipping channel.

The shipping channel that provides access to the current Port of Hastings has a declared depth of 14 metres. It is naturally deep, with the majority of it approximately 20 metres. That means the channel can currently manage the next generation of ships that cannot be accommodated at the Port of Melbourne.

The Port of Hastings Development Authority is undertaking a comprehensive series of studies and assessments of Western Port to assess the potential effects of the development of a container port facility, including the amount of material that may need to be dredged, It is interesting to note that the BP Achiever, the ship with the deepest draft to ever visit any Victorian port, left from Long Island Point in January 1986. Its draft was 15.5m.

We will continue to engage with the community to provide information on this significant project over the course of the project’s planning and development.

Mike Lean, CEO Port of Hastings Development Authority

Costly maintenance I feel the peninsula ratepayers and general public should be aware of the problems that have arisen from the April 2014 maintenance/ spruce up of Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings and Mornington Peninsula Shire's attempted rectification.

At Easter the centre was closed for a week but days after reopening paint started peeling from the newly painted steam room walls and ceiling.

This also occurred two years ago when the same works were carried out, resulting in another closure for a repaint.

I believe wall and ceiling replacements are to be carried out next month, which is great news, but this problem would never have recurred if lessons were learnt. Male and female change rooms underwent a thorough overhaul, including new cubicle doors and partitions which weren't failing in any way that I know of. Painting in showers which started peeling within days, rough and untidy grouting in new tile work and slippery painted floors was some of the work done.

After many complaints, the floors had more grit added to curb the slip issue, but it has since deteriorated in looks. I do not know if the slip rating is being affected.

Paint has been removed from the showers, leaving plain concrete, which is great and practical, but we still have the issue of shower runoff crossing more than one cubicle to get to the main drain. Other people showering are standing in other peoples’ shower runoff.

A minor issue is with new and brighter lighting in the dressing area. Surely better lighting at the basins and mirrors would have been more sensible.

I have had much correspondence with the shire and am frustrated with the whole situation.

I wanted to go public some time ago but thought I would wait for resolutions, which I feel now was an error of judgement.

Who is paying for all these essential rectifications resulting from poor workmanship and poor decision-making? The bulk of it would be from ratepayers I would guess.

ENVIRONMENT groups are calling on Flinders MP Greg Hunt to make sure the state government is not given a free hand to approve expansion of the Port of Hastings.

However, Mr Hunt, who is also environment minister, says any proposal “would have to be assessed by what is likely to be one of Australia’s most comprehensive environmental impact statements�. “At this stage there is no actual proposal to assess. In the meantime I have offered to work with the State on a new Shapiro report. I think this could be a powerful, long-term assessment of the future of Western Port,� Mr Hunt said in a statement.

The mid-1970s environmental study of Western Port by M A Shapiro provided baseline data on the mangrove and salt marsh vegetation of the whole bay.

In calling for a new report, Mr Hunt is restating a speech he made to parliament in October 2010, criticising the lack of action in Western Port by the then Labor state and federal governments.

The current state government has appointed the Port of Hastings Development Authority to plan the establishment of a major container port at hastings which will require extensive dredging. “I would also note that there is a real and immediate threat to Western Port in terms of sediment flowing into the northern half of the bay, which we would be very keen to work with the community to resolve,� Mr Hunt said last week in response to the groups calling on him to “protect Western Port bay from flawed major projects process�.

Mr Hunt said it was “a little curious� that the groups were “silent about the ALP’s [Bay West] proposal for Australia’s largest dredging proposal in 30 years in Port Phillip Bay�. “This would also have to be assessed under federal law. If either the ALP’s largest dredge in 30 years, or any Western Port proposal is to be formally submitted, either will have to be fully assessed under federal law.�

The groups calling on Mr Hunt to intervene in Western Port are the Victorian National Parks Association, Environmental Justice Australia, Preserve Western Port Action Group, Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council, Blue Wedges Coalition and French Island Port Stoppers. “The massive Hastings port expansion plan and associated land transport corridors will not only devastate the internationally important Ramsarlisted wetlands of Western Port, but also impact on the liveability of Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs,� the groups’ news release stated. “The Napthine government wants to push through its expansion plans under the Major Transport Projects Facilitation Act 2009 – the same fast-track process that approved the East West Link project, which is about to face a Supreme Court challenge,� Ariane Wilkinson, a lawyer at Environmental Justice Australia, said. “The only way Victorians can prevent the destruction of this protected wetland, home to many threatened species, is by appealing for Greg Hunt to intervene under federal environmental laws. Yet even this avenue of last resort is under threat from the federal government’s one stop shop policy. “If the one stop shop policy is implemented, Minister Hunt can simply hand over his powers for this project to the Victorian government.

Landlines: Road and rail routes from Hastings across Melbourne are shown in this map in the Victoria the Freight State report.

“The Victorian government has a clear conflict of interest in this project as both the proponents and regulators.”

Ms Wilkinson said the group had no confidence that Victoria’s major projects legislation will protect the Western Port environment.

“The Victorian government has a clear conflict of interest in this project as both the proponents and regulators,” she said.

“And just like with the East West Link project, the road and rail connections to an expanded port will be assessed by this major projects legislation, which will be a real concern to communities along the transport corridor.”

Victorian National Parks Association marine and coastal projects officer Simon Branigan said the government’s Victorian Freight and Logistics Plan showed the need for a rail transport corridor

from Dandenong running through the middle of suburbs such as Caulfield, Toorak and Richmond, “potentially requiring compulsory acquisitions”.

“All this for a project that is an environmental disaster in waiting,” he said. “Oil spill modelling shows that even a relatively minor oil spill would spread quickly throughout the bay, threatening fish, penguins and the beautiful beaches between Somers and Flinders.

“Under the one stop shop, the approval of the Hastings port expansion will be a fait accompli.”

Jeff Nottle, chairman and spokesperson for Preserve Western Port Action Group, said expanding the port “threatens our $600 million tourism industry and the 5000 jobs that rely on that industry”.

“This is Greg Hunt’s electorate. He can’t turn his back on the livelihood of his constituents or the importance of the Ramsar wetland.”

Nature recorded through the lens Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PHOTOGRAPHER Will Salter’s studio can be full of light, darkened by shadows or even bent into fantastic shapes as if by a sudden and unavoidable storm.

And that’s the way he like it, because Salter’s preferred photographic environment is the great outdoors, with all its unpredictability.

Living on the Mornington Peninsula for the past seven years, commercial photographer Salter prefers to focus on fine art photographic prints of the land and sea.

Although it will not be credited, one of his prints is being used to adorn the wall of an office being turned into an apartment in the latest series of the television show, The Glasshouse Block.

“Unfortunately I am not at liberty to reveal which image was used on the show, and which couple used it until it goes to air,” Salter says.

A resident of Balnarring, Salter likes nothing better than to venture out into the storm with his Nikon D800E camera, watching the elements collide from the cliffs near Cape Schanck.

Everything is in motion and Salter watches for changes in light and texture to create a composition that, from a more tranquil perspective, gives the viewer a fleeting glimpse of beauty created by nature during what would be classed as an adverse time.

Salter says he has always been “the explorer and adventurer with an

ability to vividly share his experiences through his photography”. “I feel most alive when [nature] is at its wildest, the wind is howling, or the sun is on the horizon,” he says.

“It’s this intimacy with the natural world that I want to share through my photographs to connect people with

how they feel when out among the elements.” He says a camera, “from a young age” has always been “the perfect companion”.

Salter’s photographic assignments started in 1995 and led to him shooting along the Zambezi River in Africa to winning the photographic rights

to the Commonwealth Games baton relay travelling across 71 nations.

Having travelled with his camera across Africa, Asia, Europe, Antarctica and the Pacific – Salter says he finds “just as much meaning and adventure in such places as he now does in his local environment”.

“It’s not about where you are, but about being able to connect people to appreciate the natural world around them, wherever they may be.”

Salter’s limited edition photographic prints are exhibited at Cook Street Collective, Flinders, or go to willsalter@willsalter.com

Relaxed yoghurt maker takes time out after $80m sale “IF you run a good business you’re bound to get interest from the bigger guys in your space,” is the straightforward answer from five:am founder David Prior on the reason for the successful sale of his Carrum Downsbased company for $80 million.

Named after his routine of getting up at five in the morning to meditate, do yoga or check the surf, Prior says the sale of organic yoghurt maker five:am to British-based PZ Cussons was settled over a four-month period.

The “pretty good process” was

achieved with the help of the Macquarie Group, which was originally hired to find a suitable partner for five:am’s expansion into Asia.

PZ Cussons’ brands in Australia include Morning Fresh, Radiant, Duo, Imperial Leather, Original Source, St Tropez, Sanctuary Spa, Fudge, Fudge Urban and Rafferty’s Garden.

Married with a six-year-old daughter, Prior wants to start a new business from scratch but, before doing anything about it, will take a month’s surfing holiday in Brazil.

Yoghurt-making equipment was installed at the Carrum Downs plant in 2010 and containers of five:am first went on Woolworth’s shelves in March 2011.

Prior remains at five:am until October - the end of a three-month transition - and then assumes the role of a non-executive director.

If profit projections are reached in 2015 he stands to receive a further $14m. In 2013/14 five:am recorded revenue of $35.6 million.

In June 2012 Prior told Business-

Times magazine that he decided to make yoghurt after a year in which he did “lots of surfing and yoga”.

He still gets up at 5am daily to meditate and do yoga for two hours, a practice which provided the name for five:am yoghurt.

Before starting to make yoghurt Prior had he helped his father Malcolm run and then sell (to Amcor) the Beroda packaging company at Braeside.

At that time he said it was the thought of tasting the fruitcake and

muffins every day that put him off buying a ready-made profitable business.

Instead of eating fruit dyed with chemical colours and cake made with bleached flour he opted to start his own company.

“It was a much bigger risk, but I was following my heart and my head.

I didn’t want to produce something that’s rubbish.”

He plans to carry the same ethics that he followed at five:am to his new and as yet unknown venture.

FEATURE PROPERTY

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

Grand lifestyle in Somers CRESSWELL is an outstanding lifestyle property, measuring well over 4 hectares, and set on the edge of the coastal village of Somers, only minutes to the renowned beaches and fine wineries of the area. The picturesque acreage features a small dam in the far corner of the block and there are several paddocks with sheds that would cater to a small amount of livestock. Several outbuildings have power and town water connected, with the largest featuring a stove, shower and combustion heater. A hay shed contains a tack room and workshop. The beautiful main home is at the end of a private driveway that has iron gates across the entrance flanked by two impressive stone pillars. The gravel driveway loops around in front of the home to provide plenty of parking and there is a double carport.

A vast, well-maintained lawn area surrounds the home, and from the lovely open-air timber deck you gaze across the entire property. The home has six distinct living zones.

From the formal entry you are immediately welcomed by an inviting formal lounge and parlour, separated by a brick feature wall. A galley-style kitchen with dishwasher and wall oven overlooks a casual meals area. For larger gatherings there is a formal dining room and adjoining living space, resplendent underneath a timber-lined cathedral ceiling. To complete the list is a games room and a study or fourth bedroom. Three more bedrooms are discreetly positioned throughout the home. The main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe occupies one corner, and a third bedroom upstairs is partially self-contained with a bathroom and dressing room. Convenient features to keep the family comfortable include air-conditioning, ducted heating and ducted vacuum system.

Ross Burris: A thank you is the volunteers’ only reward.

A job well done A mariner’s poem about volunteer marine search and rescue My hands are blue, I’m soaking wet, my eyes are red and sore, But we’re back at base and safety, and the family’s safe ashore.

As the coffee slowly warms me, I ponder hours gone past, Of standing at the boat ramp with the weather building fast.

Mum and Dad, excited kids, make sure the bait’s not missing, At last the promised outing, they’re off to do some fishing.

The children’s glowing faces turn a paler shade of dark, as their father swears and curses, when the outboard doesn’t start.

The sky is getting blacker and I think it’s heaven sent, that they’ll make the trip another day, I’m sure that’s what was meant.

I’m pleased, yet disappointed when the outboard bursts to life, If it doesn’t start a second time, I know they’ll be in strife.

I watched them rounding Schnapper Point just south of Mornington Pier, then headed back to work to dispel my growing fear.

At home that night I settled in and read the local Flier.

The kids had put the telly on and were nestled by the fire.

It was halfway through the movie, 9.30 maybe 10, when my pager sounds its warning, I’m sure the calls for them.

Cars descend upon the base from all across the town. The same familiar faces with that same intensive frown.

The base is fairly jumping and the police have just phoned through, that their trailer’s at the boat ramp and the family’s overdue.

VOLUNTEER marine rescue certainly isn’t for everyone.

When they are on the job, most sensible people are tucked up in a warm bed, with a night fighting raging seas and searching for missing boaties the last thing on their minds. Yet, despite the wet, cold and often frightening conditions, the volunteers do their necessary jobs without complaining.

Ross Burris, a life member and past president of the Mornington Volunteer Marine Rescue (Victoria), was recalling his first night rescue in 1980: “There were steep seas and the old Shark Cat was powering up the front of large waves and then sort of stopping in mid-air at the top where it felt the full force of the storm.

“We’d be perpendicular for a moment not knowing if we were going to be pushed over backwards ... it was rather frightening.

“It was mid-winter and we were out on the water four or five hours searching for a missing family. You’d hear all sorts of strange noises – maybe it was people calling out, maybe not – but it seemed to combine with the sound of the wind and waves. The night really stuck in my mind.”

Fortunately, the desperate search had a happy ending. The missing family was found safe and sound and their heartfelt thanks made the volunteers’ efforts worthwhile.

Mr Burriss’s poem A job well done about that night encapsulates their role.

Stephen Taylor It’s black as pitch and blowing hard. It feels like 10 below.

Wet weather gear gets thrown aboard and the skipper yells out ‘go’.

Those who want a jacket on can do so without shame, it’s no time to be a hero, more dead would be insane.

The first wave hit us soundly, it was thick and frothy rimmed.

The Shark Cat lifted skyward and hung there on the wind.

Numb fingers fight to keep a grip as the bow completes its rise, then teeters undecided, silent prayers help it decide.

Hundreds more would hit us before the night was past and everyone that did we hoped would be the last.

Our spotlights cut the blackness till they hit a wall of spray, then bounce right back to taunt us, she fights to keep her prey.

Eyes and ears are straining for the slightest sight or sound of Mum and Dad or children, calling to be found.

Was that funny shape a wave? Was that phosphorous in the water?

Was that the wind I heard, or the cry of someone’s daughter?

The winds picks up a knot or two, the waves surge over the deck to send their icy cargo down our flamin’ necks.

Over there! The cry goes up. My God I think it’s them.

“Going about” the skipper yells, “Grab rope and blankets men”.

The look of hope on frightened faces, “Save our souls” the plea, as our towline joins the two of us like corks on a raging sea.

It’s never easy getting back, in a following sea so wild, But back on shore a simple thank you, makes it all worthwhile.

Q REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

OUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES Patients rank St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital number one Our hospital has been ranked the number one private rehabilitation hospital operator by our inpatients according to the latest independent Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey results. The Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey is conducted annually and asks patients a number of questions about their entire hospital stay including the clinical management of their condition, rooms, meals, admission and discharge.

Our hospital’s average inpatient score of 88.4 from 92 in patients who responded (a response rate of 60.5%) placed our hospital in the 99th percentile when benchmarked against other private rehabilitation hospitals.

The results of our 2013 Australian Council of Healthcare clinical indicators showed that 99.2% of our patients return to accommodation equal to or greater than pre-episode

accommodation. This is 19.3% greater than the national average of 79.9% and 14% greater than the benchmark group average of 85.2%.

The Australian Rehabilitation Outcome Centre (AROC) manages the collection and reporting of Functional Improvement Measures (FIM) across all Australian rehabilitation hospitals.

The FIM measures a patient’s functional ability to carry out an activity independently versus their need for assistance from another person or a device. Patients functional ability is measured upon arrival and then again at discharge.

Our hospital’s functional ability gain was 97.9% against a national standard of 95.9%. Our patients scored 1.2 points higher than other private rehabilitation hospitals nationally. For our patients this means that their ability to return to normal social activities such as bowling, golf or just walking along the beach is greater.

If you would like to attend our hospital, please see your doctor for a referral.

Details of our various services are available on our website: www.sjog.org.au/frankston REFERRALS: Outpatient referrals can be sent to: St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital 255-265 Cranbourne Road, Frankston 3199 Fax: (03) 9788 3280 Inpatient referrals can be sent to: Fax: (03) 9788 3304

The proof is in our results: Results of 2014 Inpatient Press Ganey satisfaction survey showed: Overall Assessment - Patient Satisfaction with the Provision of Care, Overall rating of care provided and Likelihood of recommending our hospital - all 99th percentile nationally **So this means our patients voted us the best rehabilitation hospital in Australia** Results of 2013 Australian Rehabilitation Outcome Centre yearly data collection showed our Functional Improvement Measure is 1.2 points better than other rehabilitation hospitals nationally. **Our care ensures our patients have the best possible outcome – returning home** Australian Council of Healthcare clinical indicators showed 99.2% of our patients return to accommodation equal to or greater than preepisode accommodation - 19.3% higher than the national average.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Farewelling the Frankston volunteers Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE annual meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association will be held on Wednesday next. *** LOST the red rag waved at the Patriotic concert on Tuesday last. Finder please return to the Veteran. *** IF ‘Smitho’ goes through the Germans like he goes through the footballers he will be sure to reach Berlin. *** EVEN the patriotic meeting started late at Frankston. We hope the forces fighting for us at the front will never arrive half an hour too late. *** CAPT. Guy Madden expressed regret that he was unable to attend at the presentation to the members of the expeditionary force on Tuesday last. *** THE Mechanics Hall was tastefully and elegantly decorated for the Patriotic concert by the ladies. A lot of the success of the evening was brought about by the patriotic atmosphere.

Flags, wars, and rumours of war everywhere. *** MAJOR Campbell, who is well known in Frankston, was accorded a hearty welcome when he came forward to make the first presentation to members of the expeditionary force at the big Frankston meeting. *** COL. H. M. Grimwade was unable to attend at the patriotic concert, Frankston. Two wristlet watches sent

by Col. Grimwade were presented to the soldiers by Capt. S. Sherlock. *** IT is rumoured that a number of well known citizens have already volunteered to join the second expeditionary force. If each country town sends the same quota as Frankston there will be sufficient to fill the Broadmeadows training grounds. *** MR J. Reynolds, caretaker of the Frankston gardens, has received from the State nursery the following Acacia seeds :-Acacia Elsta, Cedar Wattle, Vericillata, Stricta, Sydney Green, Golden Wattle Broad Leaf, Descolar, Bileyana, Cootamuundra, Decurranu, Any one desirous of planting Australian Wattle may obtain seeds gratis from Mr Reynolds, Bay Street. *** WE understand that the Bay View Hotel, Frankston is about to change hands. Mrs Gregory, after carrying on the business for over 21 years, is about to retire, having leased the hotel to Mr Hunt, late of Drouin. Residents will be pleased to learn that although retiring from business it is not the intention of the family to leave Frankston, but will in future live privately. *** A MEEETING of the Tyabb cemetery trustees was held on Friday last, Cr C. Murray occupying the chair, A letter was read from W. J. Haddock, asking that the remuneration for sexton be increased to £1 per grave. The matter was deferred till next meeting. ***

AT the Frankston Court on Monday, before Messrs Clements, Williams and Baxter, J’s.P., Arthur Balderson, Arthur Wm. Whittle and Win. Cuming were charged by the police with driving their motors on the footpath at Frankston on the 23rd of August last.

As the police did not press for a heavy penalty, owing to the admitted nearly impossible state of the roadway, the bench fined each defendant 10s, without costs. *** CONTRIBUTIONS to the Frankston Patriotic Fund are still coming in.

Among other donations the New Frankston Masonic Lodge has given five guineas. The sports committee have donated five pounds and Mr Thos. Bailey of the Frankston Nurseries has contributed five pounds. Any donations, no matter how small, will be thankfully received by Dr Maxwell, President, or Dr Plowman, Hon.Treasurer of the fund. We intend to publish a full list of contributors next week. *** A PAINFULLY sudden death occurred at Lang Lang on Saturday last, the victim being Mr Walter Mackie, brother of Mr Len Mackie of Frankston. The deceased was well known in this district, and was one of Frankston’s most prominent footballers three seasons ago. Mackie was in his usual health in the morning, and in the afternoon was engaged in playing football, and never appeared in better health or spirits. At one stage of the game he secured the ball and had a long run, after which he went back to his place in the field.

After standing a few minutes his knees seemed to give way, and he fell forward on his face, quite dead. The cause of his collapse was heart disease, and at the inquest the doctor expressed surprise that deceased had lived so long. The remains were interred in the Lang Lang cemetery on Tuesday last.

A widow and family of three children are left to mourn their sad loss. *** FAREWELLING THE FRANKSTON VOLUNTEERS. The Frankston Mechanics Hall was taxed to its utmost capacity on Tuesday evening when between 400 and 500 residents and friends of local volunteers for the war assembled for the purpose of bidding them farewell prior to their departure.

The hall was tastefully decorated with flags and on the stage several stands of rifles were stacked. The proceedings throughout were marked by the utmost enthusiasm, and as each volunteer had his watch strapped to his wrist the hall resounded with cheers. The brass band played several selections in front of the building commencing the programme by playing “God Save the King”.

Dr Maxwell (chairman to the movement) then called upon Mr Bath, who sang ‘The Deathless Army.’ Mr Mat Elliot then gave a recitation, “The Relief of Kimberley,” in good style.

“Womans Ways,” by Miss Ray Picking, was a nice contribution. M.C. Ellis was in good voice and joining heartily, in the chorus. Mr Fred Hinton then gave a number of his imitations, and was loudly applauded. Mr J. G.

Garrood gave a good rendering of the famous old song, “Death of Nelson”.

The chairman then read the following telegrams: “Rialta, Melbourne - Regret retained on duty tonight so cannot attend send off. My best wishes to Frankston volunteers - Harold Grimwade.”

“Mornington - sorry unable to be with you. God bless our troops. Au revoir from all at Mornington - Alfred Bates.”

“Mornington - Wish boys au revoir.

Good luck - Lou Harrison.”

The chairman then explained the purpose of the meeting - to say farewell to the volunteers. Only those who have had actual experience with grim war with all its possibilities, can realise what our men are voluntarily facing. It is therefore the more to their credit that they are prepared to take the risk of never coining back (for they and their friends must take that risk). We who are remaining at home promise them that their welfare shall be in the keeping of our hearts. We trust that, having done their duty for their country, they will return and receive the right royal welcome which we shall prepare for them in this hall.

We have read during a feverish month how a gallant fight has been put up by the allies, how British pluck and doggedness has in the past risen superior to difficulties and is providing material for future history.

Dixon get icy reception

Sunday 31 August saw the State Member for Nepean and Minister for Education Martin Dixon front up for a dousing with ice and water, after responding to the ice bucket challenge. Mr Dixon in turn nominated his son Marty who also copped a bucket full. The ice bucket challenge is a social media fuelled fundraiser in support of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease, where someone is nominated to get a bucket of ice water poured over them or make a donation if they don’t. The campaign has raised over $100 million for the cause.

Reminiscences of a mono king

By Stuart McCullough AS a child, I did not want to be a fireman or an astronaut. Occupations such as stunt-man or cattle wrangler had no interest for me. Doctor, teacher or electrician: these meant nothing. All I wanted was to ride my bike better than anyone had ever ridden a bike before.

It was no ordinary bicycle, but a Malvern Star dragster. A dragster, also known as a “long frame low rider”, was the greatest bike ever built. In fact, they were the only bike in the world with a built-in slouch.

The seat was as a long as a horse’s face and sticking out of the frame was a gearbox. As important as my bike was to me, the gears were something of a mystery. Whether the gearbox did, in fact, do anything at all or was purely for decoration was never entirely clear. It’s my firm view that, one year, the Tour de France should be conducted entirely on dragsters.

There were no buses, trains or trams where we lived. It meant the only form of transport that didn’t involve our parents was our bikes.

We would take off up the gravel driveway at great speed, dodging potholes in an attempt to gather as much momentum as possible. Luckily, our driveway was around a kilometre long and riding from one end to the other was a source of near-endless fascination.

Save for the odd sticker wrapped around its frame, my dragster was largely unadorned. Others, however, made all kinds of modifications. Chief among these was the addition of a

fluorescent orange flag attached to the seat. It would bob behind the rider like a bird as they pedalled furiously away.

The other key alteration involved putting something between the spokes to create an engine-like roar. Of course, the results sounded less like an engine than they did a cat’s purr, but it allowed us to make believe our

bikes had been transformed into motorcycles.

Motorbikes were, according to my father, only ridden by lunatics. My father’s stridency was undermined by the fact that our favourite television show at the time was CHiPs, which stood for Californian Highway Patrol and starred Erik Estrada as Francis

“Ponch” Poncherello and Larry Wilcox as “Jon”.

It was the kind of television show whose objective was largely magical in that it sought nothing more than to make an hour disappear. When I think about it now, it’s remarkable how little seemed to occur.

In Australia we had our own motorcycle-riding police officer in the form of Paul Cronin as Solo One. Set in the Dandenong Ranges, it only ran for 13 episodes during which Paul tried to figure out why he wasn’t on Matlock Police anymore.

Eventually, the era in which dragsters roamed the earth came to an end upon the introduction of the “bicycle motocross” better known as BMX’.

These bikes were not inspired by Jon, Ponch or even Paul Cronin, but by moto-cross motorbikes.

The whole point of these bikes was to ride them at speed through terrain littered with obstacles. It suited us perfectly. Suddenly, our dragsters were as cool as the flared trousers we had once worn while riding them. From this point on, it was all about the BMX. You didn’t just ride a BMX bike.

The bike was an extension of your body and you were expected to be able perform a range of stunts, such as the “bunny hop” or the “pogo”. However, by far the greatest thing you could do on a BMX was a “mono”.

“Pulling a mono” involved using your weight to lean away from the handlebars, which lifted the front wheel and enabled you to ride on just the back wheel. Some may call such a

manoeuvre a “wheelie”, but we knew it strictly as a mono.

With a mono, much as with life itself, there is the risk you may overdo things and end up flat on your back for your troubles. My attempts were always doused in caution and, inevitably, my monos were quite feeble. I longed for more.

We would see them on trips to the milk bar with our parents. Delinquents would gather as mosquitoes around a blue-light insect zapper, sitting astride their BMX bikes, nonchalantly necking choc-orange Big M and generally making a nuisance of themselves.

Dressed in a duffel coat and desert boots, their leader would ride back and forth out the front of the milk bar, front tyre raised continuously in what seemed to be an everlasting mono. His chrome BMX shone like a new set of teeth and he seemed in control of so much more than just his bike. I envied him then. As to what happened to that guy, I couldn’t say. Whether pulling a mono is as useful a skill as an adult is anyone’s guess.

Heaven knows, we need him now – bikes today are more popular than ever but there’s nary a mono to be seen.

As for me, I think I preferred it when bikes were a means of escaping from your parents. Even now I can picture him, still out the front of the milk bar; older but steadfastly none the wiser, choc-orange Big M in hand. He remains in my mind untouched by the decades, forever the Mono King. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance HOT on the heels of a spectacular summer of sold-out concerts and rocking the opening of the Commonwealth Games before a worldwide audience of more than 1.5 billion viewers, Rod Stewart has announced that he will tour Australia in 2015.

Frontier Touring announced nine concerts across Australia plus special outdoor concerts at Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley and the iconic Hanging Rock in Macedon. Notably Rod will be the first artist to have performed at Hanging Rock on multiple tours.

With his shaggy blonde hair and satin pants Stewart strutted across the stage.

Although he claims to be from Scotland, Stewart was born in North London and attended school with Ray Davies (The Kinks).

Stewart said “I’m thrilled to be returning to Australia next year. The Australian audiences are some of the best in the world and I’m looking forward to being at my most Scottish for my first ever concert in Dunedin”.

Stewart’s just completed summer tour was named by Rolling Stone and USA Today as one of the Hottest Tours of Summer with a hits including Maggie May, You Wear it Well, Hot Legs, Sailing, You’re in My Heart, Young Turks, Forever Young and many more hits.

With his singular voice, narrative song-writing and passionate live performances, Rod Stewart has built one of the most successful and enduring music careers of all time. In a career spanning more than five decades, he has amassed sales of more than 200 million albums worldwide and has countless charttopping hits and industry accolades including two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2007, he was bestowed Commander of the British Empire (CBE) by the Queen of England.

In May 2013, Stewart released Time, his first rock album in a dozen years, on Capitol Records. The album features 11 original tracks and marks Rod’s return to song writing after nearly two decades.

Time entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 1, setting a new British record for the longest gap between chart-topping albums by an artist and in the US, it

By Gary Turner

marked Stewart’s highest-charting album of original material since 1979. In addition to touring, Stewart headlines one of Las Vegas’ most critically and commercially successful residencies at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Joining Rod on the tour is local legend James Reyne. Performing hits from both Australian Crawl and his extensive solo career, James is no stranger to the top of the charts, selling in excess of 2 million albums since 1979 and boasting hits such as Reckless, Boys Light Up and Motor’s Too Fast. James Reyne will set the vibe for a massive night of back to back hits from both artists.

Tickets to see Rod Stewart ‘The Hits’ Tour go on sale on Tuesday 16 September. Visit www.frontiertouring.com/rodstewart for more details. *** UK music fans welcomed singer Kate Bush for her first concert in 35 years last month. A sell-out crowd filled London’s Hammersmith Apollo, the final venue on her only live tour in 1979.

Bush and her back singers, includ-

ing 16 year old son Bertie, opened with her 1993 song, Lily. Other songs included Babooshka, Breathing, Wuthering Heights, Running Up That Hill and Hounds of Love.

All 80,000 tickets for the 56 years old’s 22 shows sold out in 15 minutes. *** HE sings, dances, writes songs, plays guitar, piano, horns, and his music has conquered the world. Prince (real name Prince Rogers Nelson) has been compared to Jimi Hendrix for his appearance and guitar playing skills, Michael Jackson for his record sales and statue and David Bowie for his sexual outrageousness. It has been five years since Prince put out a record and now he is planning to release two at the same time. “Plectrumelectrum’ and ‘Art Official Age’ will be release next month in conjunction with a series of special events. *** JOHNNY Cash the Man in Black is coming to the Mornington Peninsula and the two hour show will open for one night only at the Frankston Performing

Arts Centre on Saturday September 13.

Featuring Daniel Thompson, Golden Guitar winner Stuie French, The Tennessee Studs and Golden Guitar winner, Tamara Stewart. Bookings 5559 4999 or www.artscentre.frankston.vic.gov.au *** LED Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love has been voted the greatest guitar riff of all time. The 1969 rock classic beat a list of 100 guitar riffs drawn up by DJs, critics and record producers.

Sweet Child O’Mine, by Guns N’Roses, was second with Back in Black (AC/DC) and Smoke on the Water (Deep Purple) third and fourth. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page said “I was knocked out by the win. I wanted a riff that really moved, that people would really get. When l played it with the band, it went into overdrive.”

Led Zeppelin began in 1968, when the Yardbirds disbanded and Jimmy Page quickly formed a new band with John Paul Jones, John Bonham and Robert Plant called the New Yardbirds and settled down in London. Following a re-

with the odd crook, alongside bosses who wanted to punish all unfortunates.

Small by comparison but the multiplier effect applies in relation to their positions of power. *** I watch Eggheads ABC weeknights.

Quiz contestants commenting before answering, “possibly not my strongest point” or “not my area of expertise”.

Please, ask them: “What is your strongest point?” or “What is your area of expertise?” The same on Eddie’s Hot Seat.

There’s nothing wrong with not knowing; stop making excuses! Breaking Bad wins the best drama series at the Emmy Awards? Boring. Worse still Bryan Cranston wins best actor, the man who has a 10 second pause between each line. Give me strength! Fargo the best easily, and Martin Freeman. Most of the rest way below the standard of Miss Marple and Death in Paradise. ABC satire Utopia, almost destroyed by Anthony Lehmann (pretending to act and trying to be funny?) saved by the lovely work from Celia Pacquola. *** Minister for Education Marty Dixon and his flyer of achievements; Dromana, Sorrento, Rosebud, Flinders, Merricks and Men’s Sheds; good work Marty.

Rye appears to be a forgotten part of any handouts. Call it “Project 3941”?

Our shopkeepers say they are struggling

and need marketing. Not the owners; they’re busy increasing the rents. Three vacant shops, and who can blame them?

Mornings at Maggies for coffee inspired by the cultural depth of the artistically painted wooden dolphin across the road.

Maybe add an injured wooden magpie Marty? *** It never surprises me what comes out of Joe Hockey’s mouth - “increases to the fuel excise wouldn’t hurt the poor because they don’t drive cars”. It’s not as if Joe meant it the way it came out; more a case of Joe being above his station in life. A well meaning sort of average Joe who regularly shoots from the hip, sometimes a fair distance from his brain.

I remember Joe crying “enough” of politics after Kevvy Rudd got in. You have to wonder if all those financial warnings (dire straights, increased taxes) from Joe, Mathias Corman and Christopher Pyne hits home with voters. Surely we are aware of tax concessions setups; superannuation dodges obviously, and capital gains? *** Melbourne may well have come in first as the world’s most liveable city, but it’s a question of who voted for this rubbish.

Conde Nast Traveller? Denny Napthine to get his two bob’s worth in. “Low crime rate, great health system, ditto road and rail”? I assume it’s applicable

only to those living within a 5 kilometre radius of the CBD. Looking at this result from a Mornington Peninsula P/O/V (lack of access to public transport, unemployment, expensive rental housing, services generally) we see the difference. Paris rated badly-which underlines this rubbish. *** SAGAS: 1/ Red Hill councillor Tim Wood, navy commander, Queens Counsel, retired County Court Judge and against spending $40 million on the foreshore pool proposition. So it ends, as expected. I quite liked the designs for the Aquatic Centre, but a 25 metre pool was never on. 2/ If only half the evidence coming from the royal commission into union corruption pertaining to Health Services Union whistle-blower Kathy Jackson proves conclusive, one can only wonder why the lady blew the whistle in the first place. Better than Peyton Place. Keep punching Kathy. *** There are many mysteries in this life we lead, but surely none so great as the mystery of why a man should want to witness the birth of his child? *** The Collingwood members summit was a smokescreen with double-talk the main course. The courage required to stand up and speak the truth with Pert, Buckley, Davoren and particularly mes-

mark by Who drummer Keith Moon to the effect that they would ‘go down like a lead balloon’; the band adopted the name Led Zeppelin.

In September 1980, just before Zeppelin were to set off on a major US tour, John Bonham was found dead after a 12 hour drinking spree. The band released a statement to the effect that they were unable to carry on without the drummer.

The band lay low for a few years and reformed in 1985 for a Live Aid concert with Phil Collins on drums.

In 1988 Jason Bonham, son of John played on drums at Atlantic Records’ 40th anniversary.

Other top rated riffs were Layla by Derek and the Dominoes, Pretty Vacant, by the Sex Pistols, and Enter Sandman

by Metallica….. *** MT Eliza singer/songwriter, Lachlan Bryan (pictured with his band The Wildes) has been nominated for awards at the Australian Independent Country Music Awards. The former Peninsula School student, won a Golden Guitar at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January for Best Alternative Country album. Lachlan said “I am thrilled to be nominated and this is my second trip to Mildura and l believe these awards a very representative of the Australian country music scene and l am honoured to be nominated alongside such great artists as Allan Caswell and Luke O’Shea.” Lachlan will spend time with his parents, Duncan and Madeleine Bryan in Mt Eliza before embarking on a US tour next month, covering 16 states which include 21 shows commencing in Dallas, Texas.

The ‘Black Coffee Tour’ is Lachlan’s second US tour as his new album Black Coffee hits US radio this week. www. lachlandbryan.com

A Grain of Salt Spring and Father’s Day; my last? Barring a definite medical opinion we naturally assume we have another 20 or so years left, conveniently ignoring all those we knew along the journey who disappeared at a younger age. Do we all agree the pursuit of pleasure is the bottom line, whatever the form, whatever your time in life? If you don’t you’re not reading this column. Possibly a nitwit?

At my age I’m forced to cling tooth and nail to what’s left of my rapidly advancing years; seemingly one after another being ripped away amidst obscurity and renouncing all concern for name and glory. Is watching re-runs of Midsommer Murders a pursuit of pleasure? Is not buying green bananas being over cautious? Can I hold out until 2017 when Collingwood appoints a new coach? Illusion is the first of all pleasures. *** I’m considering attending a spiritual retreat; good for the soul, being conscious of being aware? Reading newspapers puts my outlook into perspective-lucky to live in Australia. Unless of course you’re one of those 44 refugees incarcerated for years without charge and not allowed to know the details of the secret ASIO assessments used to justify their detention. We want to live in peace but sadly we live amongst some nasty bastards. I recall the early 1970‘s working in Bankruptcy; mostly honest bankrupts

By Cliff Ellen siah Eddie ready to respond was always a mountain too high. “Improved transition running” is the go, says Nathan.

Funny, very funny. Sadly, yet another disrespectful exit: Luke Ball. Cancelled Fox footy. *** I’ve yet to meet a mum and dad shareholder?...Andrew Bolt’s headline as a result of the Government scrapping Section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act. “We’re muzzled but bigots rant”?...AFL finals time and the allocation of tickets to the rich and famous in preference to the real football followers.

Money money; bugger the rest...Will metadata be compromised? Absolutely, eventually...Surely time for Danny Andrews to tell us Labor’s policy on the East West Link?...Theme song for democratic Afghans “Over There”...What happened at those 400 illegal brothels and Victoria’s anti-corruption commission?...Sad to see Teddy go, a rare man of principle...Marriages and wives are called good not because they are good but because they are not talked about... hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Sharks storm into grand final NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO marched into the Nepean League grand final on Saturday with a stirring victory over Crib Point in the second semi final.

Scores were locked together at 9.9 (63) at three quarter time at Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thomas Barclay Oval, however Sorrento stepped up a gear in the final quarter and went on to win 16.13 (109) to 13.9 (87).

The loss sees Crib Point play Rye in this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary final after the Demons smashed Dromana on Sunday.

In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, for the second week in succession, Myles Pitt booted six goals for the winners, while Leigh Poholke made it 86 goals for the season with another haul of four.

The Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to play on big grounds was questioned going into the match, given they had lost to Hastings and Red Hill on their big grounds.

However, Sorrento was the team that was full of running when it mattered most in the last quarter.

The Sharks rammed home seven goals to four, highlighting that they are in tip top shape leading into yet another grand final.

Grand finals are becoming a habit for the red and white and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost on coach Troy Schwarze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I keep telling the blokes that grand finals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come easily but I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some of them that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite believe me anymore,â&#x20AC;? said Schwarze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a pretty good period for the club but we are under no illusions about where our season sits right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The job is only half done and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of preparation that needs to go into the next couple of weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a light night on Tuesday but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll really start cranking things up after that.â&#x20AC;?

Last season, Sorrento limped into the grand final after a tough campaign and were blown away by Dromana in the big dance.

Schwarze believes his team is in far better shape this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, we needed to get the week off last season but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and it really took a toll on us,â&#x20AC;? said Schwarze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season, while you like to get the break, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in far greater shape than we have been in the past. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty fresh and I reckon the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run out games has proven that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crib Point is a great footy team and they showed on Saturday that their best is devastating, but I was pretty happy with the way we responded and maintained the pressure for four quarters,â&#x20AC;? said Schwarze.

Troy himself was clearly the best player on the ground, playing in the middle, as opposed to his usual role at half-back.

His brother Ben played across halfback again and while not as dominant as last week, played his role. James

Hallahan played on a wing for the majority of the match.

Kayle Stringer-Morris was back into the team and at his best after missing last week with hamstring tightness and Tyrren Head was a fine contributor.

Crib Point wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as clean with the footy as the Sharks and this was the reason they went down.

Players who usually hold marks were dropping them and their execution wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good as usual.

It will be good for the Pies to get a final out of the way.

Jon Flack really did keep the Pies in the game with five goals while Glenn Boyd booted three and probably should have finished with another three.

On Sunday, Rye continued its devastating form and belted Dromana 19.14 (128) to 8.11 (59).

The Demons were sensational from the first bounce to the final siren, showing too much system, run and commitment for the Tigers.

Other than a ten minute period in the first quarter, Dromana looked tired, sore and, to be honest, mentally out of season 2014.

They went into the game without Terry Wheeler (broken hand), Andy Kiely (groin) and Anthony Bruhn (back), while Stuart Cleeve and Michael Falconer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play for the majority of the season. Bruhn and Wheeler are their two best players.

Steven Gaertner looked injured

and only lasted a half and Paul Minchington knocked himself out in the first quarter and struggled from that point on.

Rye went into the clash without in and under midfielder Braeden Dennis, who was interstate for personal reasons. Matt Dunn hurt his leg in the third quarter and will be unlikely to come up for the preliminary final, leaving Dennis to come back in.

On Saturday, in his 198th game for Rye, skipper Rhett Sutton dominated and Ryan Semmel was simply sensational. His work in and under and on the outside left supporters and spectators speechless. He is as good as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen on the peninsula in 25 years covering local footy.

The defence was again superb, led by the likes of Adam Kirkwood, Leigh Morse, Ryan Taylor and Chris Gleeson. Matty Sibberas totally shut out Toby Banks after he got off the chain early, while Anthony Joel again played a vital role.

In attack, the Demons were also dangerous. Brady Egan, Aaron Findlay and Ben Holmes presented all afternoon and Benny WintersKerr made a nuisance of himself. The opposition latched on hook, line and sinker.

Rye have always been attractive on paper. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always predicted their best is better than anyone else. They now understand how to go about bringing their best every week.

Stonecats cruise into big dance PENINSULA LEAGUE

Dizzying heights: Despite this great grab, Dromana did not have what it took to win the day, going down to Rye by 69 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW continued its domination of the 2014 Peninsula League season with a dominant performance against Bonbeach in the second semi final.

The Stonecats stormed into the Peninsula League grand final with a 15.15 (105) to 11.4 (70) victory.

Bonbeach will now face Mornington in the preliminary final after the Doggies overcame reigning premiers Edithvale-Aspendale by 28 points.

The scoreboard was a true reflection of the match. The Stonecats dominated from the first bounce and given its 30 scoring shots to 15, should have won the contest by a lot more.

Bonbeach went into the game without a recognised ruckman, given the fact that Dylan Jones and James Norton were both out of the side.

The Sharks were also missing Rob Horler and Brad Sykes, who have both been outstanding contributors for Bonbeach this season.

The Stonecats brought four players back into their lineup for the match, including Dale Carroil and Ricky Morris. While Morris didn’t have a big impact on the game, Carroll was superb at both ends of the ground.

The lack of genuine talls for Bonbeach gave Ash Eames the opportunity to dominate the contest, and he did just that.

Eames would have taken close to 20 marks, the majority of which were across half-back.

Anthony ‘Bundy’ Barry wasn’t selected because of an aductor strain, which meant the defenders needed a hand. Eames has always been brilliant at that.

The Stonecats had winners all over

Ground flooding fails to alter final plans

By Toe Punt POLICE are investigating a break in at Hastings’ Thomas Barclay Reserve that resulted in the ground being found under water last Thursday morning.

Hastings Football Club officials arrived at the ground on Thursday to find the sprinkler system on and the ground flooded.

It is believed that someone who had access to keys to the ground and the club’s sprinkler system was responsible.

Police have said that the sprinkler system was tampered with at 9pm on Wednesday night. This information was sourced from the computer system of the sprinkler system.

some clubs who did not want the finals played at Hastings.

Some clubs had even written to the league requesting that the venue be changed.

When the league was advised on Thursday morning that the ground was under water, the response was “the game is going to be played at Hastings, regardless of the condition of the ground”.

As it turned out, the ground came up very well.

“Whoever put the sprinklers on probably did us a favour because it took the hardness out of the deck,” said Miles.

There is CCTV footage of the culprit and police will continue to investigate.

There were plenty of conspiracy theories going around late in the week as to who may have turned the sprinklers on.

Hastings legend and committee member Kevin Miles said whoever did it knew exactly what they were doing.

“First of all, they had access to the ground and the sprinkler system. Secondly, they knew how to manipulate the sprinkler system,” Miles said.

“Now, I’m no expert but I think only a small number of people have access to keys etc.

There could be others but there wouldn’t be too many people who would have access,” said Miles.

The other interesting thing to consider was that there were

the ground, none more than Scott McLeod and Billy Rolfe. Their run, second efforts and ball skills were a highlight of the match.

Dave Bodley booted seven goals in the first half and really had the better of Anthony Raso and Jason Gumbleton. Jason Ferraro became the third opponent in the second half and restricted him to four behinds.

Ferraro was the obvious choice to go to Bodley much sooner than he did.

Ben Buckley got a lot of the footy and Lachy Wallace was also in and among it.

It was much harder to find a group of good players at Bonbeach.

The half-back line was tireless.

Jackson Casey and Gary Carpenter were outstanding.

After the match, YCW coach Scott Mathers agreed that it was “almost” the complete performance.

“Look, when you go into a game with the best ruckman in the league (Eames) and they don’t have any ruckmen, things are going to be tough for the opposition. Ash needed to take advantage of the situation and he did, giving us first use of the footy all day,” said Mathers.

“When you have the footy in your hands, you control the game and Eames gave us that opportunity more times than not.”

YCW was penalised in the third quarter when it was realised that Matt Hogan was not on the team sheet.

Hogan was subsequently ordered to stay off the field.

Logic prevailed though and it was deemed a simple administrative mess up and he was able to come onto the field.

“It was pretty tough at the time because it really hurt our rotations and blokes were starting to cramp up,” said Mathers.

“I think common sense prevailed

though because it wasn’t like we were playing an unregistered player or a player who didn’t qualify.

“We simply left Bundy’s name on the team sheet as to not give too much away prior to the game. We just didn’t replace him with Hogan before lodging the paperwork.”

Frankston YCW will be having no easy time on the track in the lead up to the grand final.

“It will be hard work and business as usual,” said Mather.

“It’s important the guys’ minds remain on the job at hand. Changing things or giving them light nights etc won’t help anyone.

“We have started our finals campaign positively, however the job is only half done,” said Mathers.

On Sunday, Mornington booted four goals to one in the third quarter to set-up a 10.14 (74) to 6.10 (46) win over Edithvale-Aspendale.

Scores were locked together at 4.7 apiece at half time before Mornington took control.

Dale Nolan booted five goals in a best on ground performance for the Dogs while Jai Haddock and James Halsall starred.

Mark Mullins and Tim Mannix were the best of the Eagles, while Tim Mavric, who has been hammered by injury this season, was also outstanding.

The Dogs beat Bonbeach in round three by 43 points at home before losing to them in round ten by 32 points.

There is no doubt that the open spaces of Frankston Park this Sunday will suit the Doggies.
