Balnarring & District Community Bank® Branch Balnarring & District Community Bank® Branch of Bendigo Bank opened in Balnarring Village Shopping Centre on 13 June 2008, after 271 local shareholders invested in the project by purchasing shares in the company to secure ongoing banking services for their community and allow the community to share the profits of the Community Bank® branch.

We thank those visionary local residents who worked so hard to build support for the idea of having our own Community Bank® branch and the social and economic benefits it would bring.

Balnarring & District Community Bank® Branch has since enjoyed great support from customers from Somers down to Flinders and has gone from strength to strength.

Since opening in 2008, we have achieved significant growth and now have $180 million in total business, some 2,800 customers and employ six locals who provide high quality banking services to our communities.

We have returned $870,000 to the community as grants, donations, sponsorships, dividend payments and funds held for future payments for projects and programs. Over 80 community groups and organisations have been supported and many important local projects and programs have found funding. What a great result.

Our big dream is to return $1 million to our communities by our 10th birthday on 13 June 2018, so switch to your local bank and join us as we become a vital part of Westernport’s history and make our dream a reality.

Western Port News 15 August 2017

A history too often forgotten THE map to the right shows the Western Port region in about 1849. It was just 14 years since the founding of Melbourne, and already the area was being settled.

Within a decade or two, towns had been gazetted, shops sprung up, and the towns as we know them today began to take shape.

It was frontier country. The roads were bad, and life must have been a struggle.

In 1863 the first mail service contract was established to and from Schnapper Point [Mornington] and Star Point [Hastings]. This was by horseback two days a week.

In 1864, a wooden jetty was built at Star Point [Hastings] at the cost of ÂŁ590.

By 1870, Tyabb Rural School had an average pupil attendance of over 20 children each day.

From those early days of farmers, fishermen, and the first bones of community, grew the vibrant region we know today.

Enjoy this little wander down memory lane. It is only a glimpse into the lives of the people who built our great communities.

Many of the picture in the following pictorial history of Western Port have been gathered over many years. While some have come from private collections, many have come into our possession through various historical societies including Somerville, Tyabb and District Heritage Society; Hastings-Western Port Historical Society; Balnarring and District Historical Society; and the State Library of Victoria.

Jewellers

WE WILL BEAT ANY PRICE

A true jewel of the Nile

However, even during those years, the idea of not making jewellery was not an option for Sam who bought some equipment and made his creations at home. “I never stopped making jewellery but after two years, I got P\ ÂżUVW MRE LQ D MHZHOOHU\ EXVLQHVV LQ WKH ODWH V ´ VDLG 6DP who always maintained his eye on the dream of one day having his own shop like his dad in Cairo. “I worked for different organisations and did contracting work and then one day I started up working in the main street Wednesday market in Mornington.

I set myself up there and got a great response. I sat in the street and started to sell and trade the gold and people began to entrust me with their jewellery to have redesigned or made into something from scratch. One person even handed over $50,000 of gold to have made into a custom designed piece. Since then, it really took off. And one day a friend told me about this shop in Tyabb that would be perfect for me to set up. That was 20 years ago and I have been at the Craft Village ever since.� $QG VR WKH ¿QDO VWDJH RI 6DPœV GUHDP KDG FRPH WR IUXLWLRQ +H was still able to create his stunning jewellery designs and be part of momentous occasions in his customer’s lives.

He had his own shop, Jewel of the Nile, continuing on the family tradition from the other side of the world. And he has been able to uphold a craft that is no longer taught. “I do custom made jewellery all the time and design the pieces.

We do manufacturing of the pieces, design and remodelling, all repairs, antique repairs and have a wonderful selection of jewellery in my showroom, including pieces from my sisters and brothers who are jewellers still back in Cairo.�

Jewel of the Nile is at 14 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Tyabb (in Craft Village). Phone 5977 3711.

WHEN you grow up in a family of jewellers, surrounded by precious gems, blocks of gold and creativity, it’s a fairly safe bet that the craft might be in the blood. This is absolutely the case for Egyptian born Samir Soleman, a jeweller in the true sense of the word and owner of the aptly named Jewel of the Nile in Tyabb.

As an artisan and one of the few real handcrafting jewellers, Samir (or Sam as he prefers to be called), still creates all of his jewellery by hand just the way he learnt as an 11 year old working in his father’s jewellery business in Cairo 50 years ago. “I wanted to make jewellery with my dad rather than go to school and I spent many hours just sitting there and working, learning the trade and doing everything by hand,� said Sam as he reminisces from his showroom in Tyabb, surrounded by the wonderful pieces of handcrafted jewellery he has on display. “We were living in Cairo and it was my dad’s business called Jewel of the Nile. My grandfather was also a jeweller, along with my uncle, cousins, nieces and sisters.�

How this talented artisan ended up 14,000 kilometres away from his homeland and on the Mornington Peninsula is a wonderful journey and the people of the peninsula have embraced the talents of Sam over the past 30 years with thousands of regular clients entrusting their precious jewels and gold to him. “I came to Australia as I thought it was a good opportunity for a better life. I was 21 when came out here and was looking for something new,� said Sam, who found a home in Melbourne in 1977. “I could not work as a jeweller immediately as I did not speak English. So I went to work in a factory for GMH and studied English part time for two years.�

Tyabb Railway Station Primary School is celebrating its 110th Birthday Tyabb Railway Station Primary School is celebrating its 110th Birthday, with an open day on Saturday 28th October 2017 at 88 The Crescent Tyabb.

Tyabb Railway Station Primary School opened in 1907, and originally operated out of the old Tyabb Hall, which was on the corner of Frankston Flinders Road and The Crescent in Tyabb. (The original Hall is now the Girl Guides Hall and is situated in The Crescent opposite the school’s current site.)

Upon opening in 1907 there were only 11 students enrolled; 6 years later when the existing school building was opened at its new location in 1913 there were 33 students enrolled. That number has grown to 119. Some of Tyabb’s founding families have 3rd and 4th generations attending the school today.

The local area used to consist mostly of apple orchards and one of the exams the children had to undertake as part of their schooling was an apple packing exam.

Now this has been replaced with NAPLAN! We believe the name Tyabb Railway Station Primary School came from the fact that the railway workers laying the line sent their children here.

Tyabb Railway still holds that great small country school feel, with small class sizes and lots of open grass for the kids to run and play on. To make this a fantastic Birthday Party, Tyabb Railway’s 110th Birthday Committee is wanting to hear from anyone that would be interested in letting Tyabb Railway borrow any memorabilia, i.e report cards, old photos, etc that may be displayed during the week of activities leading up to, and on the Birthday Day Celebrations. All past, present and future families are welcome to attend our celebration.

THREE volunteers from Bittern Fire Brigade will compete against colleagues from Australia and overseas in the 2017 Melbourne Firefighters’ Stair Challenge at Crown Plaza, South Bank, Saturday 2 September.

The race to the top will see Robin Adair, Dan Beattie and Matt Zerbe climb the building’s 28 storeys in a simulated rescue – wearing up to 20kg of protective gear and breathing apparatus.

“We are training hard every day,” said Dr Adair, who is also director at the company Australis Biological.

“Our team, nicknamed the Bittern Stair Slayers, is in shape and ready to go for their first stair challenge.”

Money raised will go to the Melbourne Fighters Charity Fund to support post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), mental illness, and reduce suicide in the emergency services and defence forces. The Black Dog Institute provides frontline assistance to those in need.

“All of us have been touched by suicide and depression and wanted to help,” Dr Adair said.

“We run up the 123 steps at Somers 10 times a session making 1230 steps.”

He expects the stair challenge to take up to 10 minutes, with about 20 minutes of air contained in the breathing apparatus. When training on a stair machine at the gym, Dr Adair sets the gauge to 28 floors while lugging 16kg of gear.

“That’s really hard and I am dripping with sweat and puffing very hard at the end,” he said.

Crib Point choice for gas terminal Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ENERGY supplier AGL confirmed last week that it wants to have a floating gas import terminal at Crib Point.

The company says the Western Port site will “increase energy security and supply for customers in south eastern Australia”.

If given the go ahead by the state government, AGL says it will “invest

roughly $250 million” and begin construction in 2019 with a view to bringing the terminal online within the following two years.

The government issued a statement on Thursday saying it “welcomed AGL’s decision … [and is] working closely with AGL to ensure approvals processes are streamlined to avoid unnecessary delays”.

It said the project would create 40 permanent jobs “and many more dur-

ing the construction phase”.

The floating terminal plan also fits with the government’s decision not to back a container terminal at Hastings - it favours Bay West, north of Geelong in Port Phillip - but to encourage the Port of Hastings to be used as a “bulk port”.

Hastings MP Liberal Neale Burgess warned on Monday that AGL’s proposal closely follows “a push to locate a coal-to-hydrogen industry onto the shores of Western Port at Hastings”

(“Secret deal for toxic plan – MP” The News 17/1/17).

“Even in its trial stage this project [proposed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries] would see a 1.5 kilometre long facility built on the shores of Western Port and coal trucks [around the clock],” Mr Burgess said.

“There is much the Andrews government is not saying about this [gas terminal] proposal, including the fact that AGL is also one of the partners attempt-

ing to push through a hydrogen-to-coal conversion proposal at Hastings. This would once again see our area being treated as a toxic dumping ground for the state Labor government.”

AGL’s wholesale markets executive general manager Richard Wrightson said Crib Point is “best placed to serve Victoria ... as well as take advantage of the existing pipeline network, industrial port facility ...”.

Pool site chosen beside the park Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Ram-ing it home: The Rex Australis sculpture on Peninsula Link is heading back to the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park in Langwarrin. Picture: Gary Sissons

Rex makes gallery new home REX Australis – the giant ram’s head which has graced Peninsula Link near the Skye Rd exit for the past four years – is settling in at its new home: McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Langwarrin.

The cast-iron sculpture by Dean Colls is 14 metres long, seven metres high and six metres deep. It will feature near another sculptured favourite: the Tree of Life, by artist Phil Price, which was replaced at the Cranbourne Rd exit

by Reflective Lullaby – colloquially known as the Giant Gnome, by Gregor Kregar.

Fittingly, the intersections at which the

sculptures attracted motorists’ attention are the exits for the gallery and park.

The sculptures are the result of a partnership between the gallery and Southern Way, which was formed to manage the selection and installation of 14 artworks along Peninsula Link, which opened in January 2013.

Gallery staffers are tight-lipped over what is replacing Rex but it’s sure to be as eye-catching, curator Simon Lawrie said.

The gallery is at 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin.

LAND near the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices in Besgrove St has surfaced as the preferred option for an aquatic centre at Rosebud.

The cost of the aquatic centre is estimated at $28.4 million-$30.7 million, depending on it having a 25-metre or 50-metre inside or outside pool.

The council last week voted to spend $20,000 on a business plan for the site which is expected to be completed before its December meeting.

A report to council’s 8 August meeting warned that the centre was likely to lose 800,000 to $1.075m a year, although these “may potentially be reduced” by $200,000 if a 600 square metre gym was added to the complex.

The cost of including a gym was not included in the report.

An extra $2m might be needed for traffic lights at the intersection of Boneo Rd and Besgrove St. In the years the shire has spent debating about where - or even if - to build an aquatic centre, Frankston Council built its award-winning Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC), opened in September 2014.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb last week said deciding on the Besgrove St site would “assist in speeding up the development of a facility in Rosebud … and enable council-owned land in Wannaeue Place to be available for other development options”.

“Besgrove St is a strongly suitable location for the proposed pool, featuring relatively flat land, ample space for car parking, relatively straightforward planning controls, and existing public use zoning,” she said.

The siting of an indoor-outdoor aquatic centre has been a drawn-out process: In 1999 the shire commissioned a feasibility study for an indoor centre and, in 2000, adopted a recommendation to deliver a phased aquatic centre program for Hastings, Rosebud and Mornington.

The Pelican Park Recreation Centre, Hastings opened in 2003 and has continued to operate at a loss ever since.

Council spent about $5.1 million on existing buildings and land for an aquatic centre in Wannaeue Place, Rosebud, in September 2012 after it became clear the state government would not approve a site on Rosebud foreshore for what was then known as the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, or SPA. The report by David Hampton, team leader – buildings and open space project management, to councillors last week estimated it would cost $10.3m for a basement car park if the aquatic centre was built in Wannaeue Place.

Basically, the report conclusively says Wannaeue Place is unsuitable for an aquatic centre.

However, continuing public support for a new pool was shown at the March 2017 council meeting when supporters asked a slew of questions as to why one had not already been built.

Long time pool campaigner Betty Preston said she was “very pleased” with the decision to investigate the Besgrove St site. “However, the recommendations still have to be voted on and community consultation has to take place”, she said.

“Still, considering how fast council has acted, particularly over the past few months, it is very encouraging. The community support through petitions, press and the local radio station, has been overwhelming.”

Gas terminal favoured for Crib Point Continued from Page 1 “This doesn’t signal the end of the feasibility studies for the proposed site but now accelerates the process,” Mr Wrightson said.

“We look forward to ongoing consultation with the local community to answer their questions and proceed towards a formal application to the Victorian government.

“This project will enable access to the world market for gas, injecting some much-needed competition into the Australian market and help ease the tight gas supply.”

Mr Wrightson said AGL is looking at “how best to modernise and decarbonise the energy system … as Australia transitions to a carbon constrained future”.

“Our strong balance sheet allows us to take a long-term view and invest our profits into renewable energy and strategic projects such as the gas import jetty and pipeline which will help underpin a more secure energy supply for Australia and has the potential, if required, to supply all of Victoria’s household and business customer gas needs,” he said.

“As the largest generator of electricity in the country, we’re working hard to deliver secure, reliable and affordable energy and increase competition in the east Australian gas market for domestic and industrial customers.”

AGL’s decision to develop Crib Point comes as it announced a sharp turnaround in profits for the year to 30 June, with a net profit of $539 compared with a $408 million loss last year.

AGL has predicted an underlying profit of $940 million-$1.04 billion in the coming year.

As previously reported in The News, (“Western Port suitable for gas ships”) AGL’s plan could see gas tankers of up to 290 metres long gas being used to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the floating terminal at Crib Point.

Former Port of Hastings harbourmaster Captain Dick Cox said ship to ship transfers had previously been conducted safely at Crib Point and there may be no need for having fire tugs “on

Imports: THE 176 metre long 30,000 tonne Grand Ace7 chemical and oil products tanker which visited Crib Point earlier this month is more than 100m shorter than gas tankers that may be used to bring LNG to AGL’s floating gas terminal. Picture: Gary Sissons

immediate availability … providing there is adequate fire control systems available on the jetty to international standard”.

Western Port was one of three sites being investigated by AGL for its import terminal for LNG from Australia and overseas.

The proposal to import LNG has highlighted government tax policies which make it cheaper for gas to be imported, even though Australia is one of the world’s two largest exporters.

“The fact remains that Australia is exporting two-thirds of its gas overseas. [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull needs to put a cap on exports

to provide immediate relief on prices,” the Premier Daniel Andrews said on Thursday.

Capt Cox said the gas tankers were one of “the safest and cleanest types of ships in the world”.

“Their fuel is the boil off from the cargo – [which means] no risk of damage to mangroves or seagrass from oil spills - which is kept liquid at minus 160 degrees Celsius - it has to be warmed before it can be put into the local grid which is the job of the permanently moored vessel, which, hopefully will be tied up at Crib Point No.2 Jetty,” he said.

Bid for boat ramps at Western Port Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A STUDY by a boating industry-backed group has recommended building four launching ramps near Tyabb and adding another at Stony Point.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has “noted” the plan which seeks to ease the “critical levels” of capacity facing recreational boat owners on both sides of the peninsula.

The shire’s potential backing of suggestions by the Peninsula Marine Alliance could add 300 car and trailer parking bays for public use at Yaringa and at Stony Pt on the shores of Western Port.

Land for the Stony Point parking bays could come through acquisition or lease of Defence Force land at HMAS Cerberus.

The alliance’s study aimed to identify how to maximise the capacity, capability and efficiency of marine infrastructure on Western Port and identify potential new sites for boat ramps.

It follows the shire’s controversial decision to expand and refurbish boat ramps at Rye. The study, outlined to council’s 8 August meeting by team leader – strategy Russell Smith, stated that Yaringa was the only site on the peninsula’s coast that could be developed as a new, large scale boat ramp without significant public opposition.

The site at the end of Yaringa Rd is partly covered by mangroves and requires dredging. It adjoins the southern boundary of the commercial Yaringa boat harbour Council has asked the alliance to submit a community consultation strategy before seeking any statutory approvals for the projects.

The report also discussed the need for money for

web cameras and other technological innovations as well hiring ramp rangers during peak periods “to improve ramp effectiveness”.

The alliance says it is a not-for-profit industry association of marine enterprises, such as boat builders, marinas, yacht clubs, seafood producers and marine equipment manufacturers.

It received a grant through the shire’s boating safety facilities program for the report completed late last year by consultants BMT Design and Technology. Mr Smith said the peninsula had about 10 per cent of Victoria’s coastline and that it was “well placed to provide good access to the two bays.”

“However, coastal development is always a complex and contested issue with a variety of user groups, environmental issues and growing populations competing.”

The report did “not foresee council having to provide any major funding for any of its proposals, although it may be involved in managing the facilities”.

The report recommends building a public boat ramp at Yaringa on the site of the 1960 Yaringa marina on Crown land at the end of Yaringa Rd. Mr Smith’s report stated that any development would have to give “particular attention to the environmental significance of the environs”.

The shire did not respond in time for inclusion in the Western Port News when contacted (Monday).

The 135-space Stony Point public boat ramp has three lanes and a caravan park run by Crib PointStony Point foreshore management committee.

“Boating capacity is at a critical level on the Mornington Peninsula,” Mr Smith said.

LIFESEARCH 2017 gives citizen scientists the opportunity to discover the plants, birds, insects, and other animals in the Western Port Biosphere Reserve.

Lifesearch, the biosphere’s annual citizen science event for schools, individuals, families and community groups, runs throughout September to coincide with Biodiversity Month.

All Lifesearch participants can make a contribution to the understanding of life in the Western Port Biosphere, as well as to the national Atlas of Living Australia database.

There are prizes for the school, individual and team or group that record the most sightings during Lifesearch.

Prizes include a family pass to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, a pass to Phillip Island nature parks, and a subscription to Australian Geographic magazine.

Lifesearch sightings can be made in backyards, reserves and parks, beaches and school grounds within Frankston and Mornington Peninsula, on French island and in, on or over the waters of Western Port.

Observation data is uploaded to the Atlas of Living Australia database.

Lifesearch is inspired by 13-year-old Harewood Lyall, who lived at Harewood Homestead, Tooradin in the early 1900s.

In 1912 he recorded his bird-watching observations in a notebook, which inspired the annual Western Port Biosphere Birdsearch event, first held in 2012. Perseverance Primary School on French Island currently holds the Shield.

‘Engagement’ has benefits for all be applauded. Twentyman came as an example: to us all.

I see now it takes more than words to make a difference. We must exemplify Twentyman’s style of “love” to troublesome kids. We can do this.

Some already are.

Before and after the event (held to launch Twentyman’s book, The Mouth that Roared), I listened to representatives of service organisations. An older woman asked a young woman from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s youth services department whether they encouraged older people to engage with their clients. Interesting conversation. The young woman lit up as she mentioned Kids Hope to the older woman. Apparently, older people mentor disengaged children in

By Bob Simpson*

I SAT at last Wednesday’s Peninsula Voice event, hearing Les Twentyman’s experiences. This man “loves” disengaged young people with whom he engages. Could I genuinely “love” five homeless kids, causing trouble by sleeping in a council tip?

That idea of a village raising a child constantly surfaced. MC Roberta Orton raised the ante – this is about disengaged children gaining an enduring sense of identity, meaning and purpose, connection, and belonging in our common world.

My highlight was the “thanks” given by Cr Sam Hearn. He applauded Les Twentyman’s well-earned reputation; but thanked him for not coming to the peninsula as a hero to

primary schools.

A woman commissioner of the Scouts told me they had a 10 per cent increase in recruits on the peninsula, over the past year. I wonder how many more parents became involved?

And, I wonder how they gain from their experience?

Twentyman talks about people who are compassionate entrepreneurs.

Some support him, hugely. They saw his impact; they checked him out;

their support flowed when he earned trust; quietly and unobtrusively. Entrepreneurs who have compassion for people; we need them.

In The Mouth that Roared, Twentyman writes, “human beings have an inbuilt appetite for passionate commitment”. Therefore, if we need people to exemplify what’s ultimately important, we need to encourage more and more villagers to let their passion flow.

This conversation raised a big question. When those five homeless kids find themselves fully engaged in our village, who ultimately gains? It must be the whole village. You, me and engaged young people being together. * Bob Simpson is a member of Peninsula Voice, the not-for-profit group of volunteers which organised the event.

Continued from Page 3 The business plan will include options for a 25-metre indoor pool, 50-metre indoor pool and a 50-metre outdoor pool, as well as health, fitness and wellbeing facilities. These will cater for pool programs, training, school competitions, education, health and fitness and special events.

Other features will include multipurpose rooms for health and fitness classes, wellness centre featuring consulting, steam and sauna rooms catering for specialist services, such as massage and physiotherapy, relaxation, older adults and sports recovery.

There will be a cafe, disability access, access ramps to the main pools, learn-to-swim pool and warm water program pool, wheelchair access to the spa within the warm water program pool, and family change rooms with disability or special needs facilities.

All pool decks will be on the same level avoiding the need for lifts.

“The shire has a higher than state average portion of older people living on the southern peninsula. The warm water program pool will provide a health and wellbeing resource for our older residents,” Cr Colomb said.

Cr Colomb said the “development and consideration of the options available for an aquatic centre in Rosebud remains a priority of council”.

The business case will lead to a report establishing costs, propose options, and “demonstrate whether the project is affordable and represents a value for money investment for council”, the shire said. It will also assess a project timeframe.

The report is to be brought back to a council meeting by the end of December.

Triggers’ escape a Dimension dilemma Teed up: Josh Shaw is the new driving force at Flinders Golf Club.

New pro at Flinders JOSH Shaw has been appointed head professional at Flinders Golf Club after serving four years under outgoing professional Gavin Coyle.

General manager Chris Poulton said Shaw began as a PGA trainee at the club. “He has matured into a fully qualified PGA professional, with a love of the industry, a passion for teaching and a drive to provide the best service to members and guests on the Mornington Peninsula,â€? Mr Poulton said. “The committee acknowledges that Gavin Coyle has left an indelible mark on the club, and while there are many aspects of Gavin’s work and style that they hope Josh will continue to provide, there are also areas where he can improve on and drive ‌ over the next few years.â€?

Mr Poulton said the PGA traineeship had provided Shaw with the right education, training and mentoring “to embrace his role moving forward�. “Flinders Golf Club is well regarded by golfers and is one of Australia’s true coastal golf courses,� Shaw said. “On the point of Western Port, it has spectacular conditions and scenery, and is an experience not found at many golf courses in Australia, or even the world.�

building boards. Something they’ve been doing for the past half a century, with no end in sight.

Paul Trigger says their older boards keep popping up.

In the 1960s the surf industry was in its infancy and getting raw materials was not always easy. The fibreglass cloth with resin to coat a shaped foam blank was heavy and coarse.

Putting their Trigger Bros brand on the board required using Letraset, a plastic lettering system that involved rubbing the paper-backed letters straight onto the surfboard blank.

The Triggers chose and old English font which had previously been used by their father and an uncle on their “Trigger Brothers� grocery shop in Hesse St, Queenscliff.

While the branding changed over the years, the brothers have now reverted to that old typography.

And the boards? Well they have progressed from those early Dimensions, keeping pace with the trends to multi-fins and lighter materials.

But the enthusiasm for coming up with the right shape and finish has not waned, as is shown whenever a new board is placed in the racks at their shops or, if custom built, handed over to its new owner.

There’s anticipation and an appreciation by looking at its lines of how the board will perform in the surf.

Keith Platt

FLEDGLING surfboard makers Paul and Phil Trigger thought they had a great idea when it came to naming and identifying their surfboards: “Let’s start with the First Dimension�.

This was in the late 1960s when they were shaping boards in a lane at the back of their parents’ house in Bonbeach.

By the time they were getting close to the Eighth Dimension they realised there was a need for a simpler numbering system. “What’s going to happen when we got to the 125th or 150th?� Paul Trigger remembers asking his brother.

Instead of deciding to start with the number one, they decided against numbering their boards altogether, and that’s the way it’s been ever since.

A couple of weeks ago the Triggers – who have shops at Point Leo and Frankston - received a call from Western Australia by someone offering one of the early “Dimension� boards.

Paul trigger remembers taking it on a weekend's surf at Wilsons Promontory and quickly deciding “I didn’t like it�.

He’s not sure if it’s the Third or Fifth Dimension, but it was built about the same time the American pop group The Fifth Dimension changed its name from The Versatiles. The group’s most memorable hit was “Up, up and away�, theme song for a nowdefunct Australian airline.

You’ve got to wonder, and marvel, at how those US musicians heard about (and were inspired by) the Triggers’ Dimension numbering system.

And while the musicians kept the name, the Triggers went back to just

Board talk: Paul Trigger with one of the first boards he made with his brother Phil in the late 1960s - a board that helped take them out of their Dimension era.

Winning ways: Junior champion pilot Daniel and dad Andrew Arapakis on the podium in Sweden after winning gold. Picture: Supplied

‘Dannmann’ flies to gold in Sweden MORNINGTON’S Daniel Arapakis flew his F3D aircraft to victory at the FAI F3D world championships in Sweden, 25-29 July.

The Western Port Model Aero Club member – nicknamed ‘Dannmann’ – did Australia proud bringing home the gold medal and becoming junior world champion.

Daniel is the first Australian junior to win a world championship in any facet of aeromodelling, his father Andrew Arapakis said.

“He was race prepared with the finest aircraft, engines and propellers fastidiously engineered

by Barry Murphy, which are world renowned for their reliability and performance.”

Daniel flew his Minute Master racer for 14 rounds over three days to win the junior category. His times complemented the Australian seniors’ outstanding performances, with Australia also winning gold in the team event.

The methanol-burning models, with top speeds

20 TO

of more than 350kph, are flown over 10 laps around a 400-metre pylon course. Three pilots at the same time compete against the clock aiming to finish in less than 60 seconds.

Daniel averaged 59.44 seconds for the event which also gave him ninth overall in the open division. Forty-five pilots from 17 countries and four continents competed with Australia’s senior best performer, Beau Murphy, finishing seventh outright.

On returning home, Daniel was presented with a life membership of the Western Port club for his achievements – an honour for a 16-year-old, Mr Arapakis said.

Australia will host the next world championships in Queensland in 2019. “Our pilots are regarded as the best in the world for their skills, teamwork, support – and having fun,” Mr Arapakis said.

Sail away for Father’s Day

Responsibilities come with pet ownership

BOATS, beers, meats and sweets – what more could a Dad want this Father’s day!

Searoad Ferries is giving you the chance to treat your special Dad to all of these things at its inaugural Blokes High Tea. Taking place on Father’s Day, Sunday 3 September, Head Chef, Brent Love, will be serving up tasty delights with Dad’s in mind – everything from pork sliders and lamb pies, to maple bacon pannacotta and mini donughts. Throw in a paddle of locally produced craft beers and it

truly will be a feast fit for a king!

Departing Sorrento at 12pm or Queenscliff at 3pm, the Blokes High Tea includes food, beer sampler paddle, tea, coffee and a two hour sailing across Port Phillip Bay. High Tea will be served in the nautical surrounds of the brand new, private Lonsdale Lounge onboard the MV Queenscliff. Cost per person is $49 and bookings are essential.

To book, or for further information, please visit www.searoad.com.au/dadsday/

I don’t hate dogs or cats or any other creature and I’m sure no one at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council would either. It seems ownership and responsibility or lack of it is a concerning problem.

I have worked on dairy and beef farms with cattle, pigs, chooks, horses, owned a dog, cat, budgie and other birds, and I can say every animal has its very own personality.

It’s always sad to hear of a dog or cat turning up at a pound and then being euthanased because of a problem that’s created by us. Us, is how they got there in the first place.

Pointing the finger at our council to be kinder and sort it out in some way or other seems irresponsible while we all go home and pat our pets, eat our beef patties, chicken stir fry, pork sausages, lamb shanks, eggs from locked up chickens that are given a square metre of dirt to walk on so as to call it free range.

Think of the life some other creatures have to endure, held in captivity before being slaughtered enabling us to reap and enjoy whatever it is we want from them. Let’s not forget to mention those wild animals that are unfortunate not to make it to the pound. Blasted from their habitat as game, or a bullet to the head because they’re now a pest, or suffer a long painful death by poisoning called conservation.

Owning a pet comes with long-term responsibilities, and we can all help to unburden council and volunteers if the simple rules were followed in the first place. Register your pet, obey all regulations, give it love, and care for its health, know where it is and, if you don’t want it anymore, try to find a new owner yourself.

John Blogg, Somers

Special mention How would you like to receive a demand for more than $4000 from your local council – over and above the normal rates you pay? This happened recently to a small group of residents.

For years Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has implemented special charge schemes to build concrete footpaths throughout the shire. Most residents have never heard of these schemes until they are hit with a huge bill.

In tough financial times when everyday costs such as private health cover, gas, electricity and education costs are racing ahead of wages this has not stopped our council imposing a major financial burden on a handful of unsuspecting ratepayers each year. Incredibly, not everyone who gets a new footpath has to pay the charge.

Those affected do not get to vote on the matter and the only avenue of appeal (VCAT) is costly and unlikely to succeed.

Why shouldn’t the council have to live within its means (using annual rate revenues) as do the residents it represents? The state government has now capped council rate increases, so some financial restraint by the shire should follow. But as the council knows a special charge scheme allows it to impose additional costs on residents and get around the rate capping restriction. It’s an easily exploited loophole.

Faced with a significant resident backlash against these unfair charges the council has developed a Draft Special Charge Scheme Policy - now available for comment on its website.

This draft is deficient in a number of areas. In particular, it should give affected residents the right to vote down a proposed scheme if it is seen as unreasonable, too costly and unfair.

I would urge readers to respond to the draft

Letters - 300 words maximum and including full name, address and contact number - can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: team@mpnews.com.au and let council know that these schemes are unwelcome unless the majority of ratepayers involved are supportive. Geoff Allen, Sorrento

Centrelink blues The Mornington Peninsula has a high proportion of age pensioners and age part pensioners like myself. Part pensioners need to report changes in their income and assets to Centrelink on a regular basis because Centrelink directs that significant changes must be reported within two weeks.

In the past I have written letters to them when my income and or assets have changed and have reasonably quickly had my pension adjusted accordingly. This year however I have found it very difficult, in fact impossible, to get the message through. I sent a letter on 7 April detailing my financial position but have received no response and no adjustment to my pension. I sent a reminder on 16 June, again without response.

In desperation I went online to see if I could fix it, but got the message on screen that “updates are not possible at this time , try again later”. I really am at a loss what to do. It seems like Centrelink is just not functioning and I am concerned that when I finally get my financial position updated they may want me to pay money back, which is always very difficult.

Another problem this year was that I bought shares and needed to do a tax return. I waited until this week before starting my return online because I was waiting for my income statement from Centrelink, but found on enquiry that they had not sent them out since 2013 and it is necessary to request one online.

I had not completed a tax return in recent years because I fell below the income threshold so I was unaware that this was the case. How on earth do those people get on who are not up to speed on computers?

It seems to me that this is just another instance of our federal government’s incompetence.

James McLoughlin, Balnarring

False information A Sorrento focussed group with no grasp of the

issue claims to be very pleased with the outcome of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision about the Rye boat/jetski ramp. A real estate agent who has obviously been told a story but not checked if it was true (“Welcome decision” Letters 8/8/2017) says “hurrah” for that same decision.

There are people, including councillors, who have been told Rye has a safety issue. No marine statistics substantiate this claim. There is the dubious belief that expansion will fix the algae and dredging issue. Isn’t that about lack of shire maintenance?

A false story was put about claiming Rye would get no funding for the boat ramp, or the township plan, if council didn’t vote for the expansion. Another false story said it is only a minority group against the boat/jet ski expansion. Facts show there were 175 objections and only six for the expansion. Petition signatures show 1392 against and 362 for. By the way the “for” submissions appeared long after the closing date.

Those opposing the boat/jet ski expansion (and it does include boaties) have only offered facts as their argument.

This resident majority has been marginalised by councillors who, obviously, never questioned what shire officers were telling them.

It seems everyone’s opinion is valid except the majority opposing the shire’s plans, which will ruin the future enjoyment of the foreshore and beach for the majority of users.

Spare us all from ignoramuses and hedonists, as soon there will be nothing left of the coastal foreshore for the majority to enjoy.

Mechelle Cheers, Rye

Barbarous treatment I am sickened by the barbarity shown by Australia’s treatment of refugees on Manus Island, [including] forcing them out of the detention centre by cutting power and water. Sanitation and cleaning stopped. To what end? To force them into East Lorengau where the local people don’t want them.

We, via Immigration, are treating refugees brutally. Why do we behave like fascist bullies?

Deterrence, we are told.

This is horrible. Shame, shame, shame. This is not my Australia.

Patricia Rayner, Somers

Transport petition I would like to thank The News for giving us coverage to help advertise our petition for a complete bus service review on the Mornington Peninsula. It helped create more interest as we went to collect signatures.

I would also like to thank businesses for their help in having the petition in their shops and for the helpers that stood on cold streets collecting signatures.

Also, thanks to the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable transport project for advice and support.

Keep an eye open as there is more action coming up as a follow up to the petition.

Once again, a very big thanks to everyone that spent the time in signing the petition.

surrounded by the smells of blood and faeces and the screams of their companions. Fish are impaled, crushed, suffocated or cut open and gutted, all while they’re fully conscious.

We are surrounded by terror, and the symbolism of the meat grinder bomb illustrates the words of Pythagoras in 500BC: “For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.

Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.”

Ashley Fruno, ssociate director, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Australia

Everyday terror Counter terrorism police in Sydney have allegedly foiled a plot to bring down a plane using a bomb hidden inside a meat grinder. Who travels with a meat grinder?

There is, though, a twisted logic to the choice of this meat grinder. The meat industry is built on terror. Animals bred to be slaughtered have few legal protections.

Young cows are branded with hot irons, their horns are cut or burned off and males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums – all without painkillers.

Chickens spend their short lives in filthy sheds with tens of thousands of other birds and are crammed into cages and sent to slaughter when they are only six or seven weeks old. Piglets are torn away from their distraught mothers, their tails are chopped off, the ends of their teeth are snipped off with pliers and males are castrated with no pain relief. Lambs are crammed onto trucks and transported for up to 48 hours with no access to food or water then slaughtered,

Rosebud robbery arrest DETECTIVES from Mornington Peninsula CIU have arrested a man following an alleged robbery at Rosebud last week.

It is alleged 69-year-old Barry Morris-Shaoul was on a powered scooter and walking his dog about 6.15am on 2 August when confronted by two offenders along the Rosebud foreshore who demanded his wallet (“Thieves leave pensioner left stranded” The News 8/8/17). The offenders allegedly stole Mr Morris-Shaoul’s jacket, mobile phone watch, ring and scooter keys.

This morning investigators executed two search warrants in Rosebud and arrested a 37-year-old Rosebud man.

Late Friday he was assisting detectives with their inquiries.

THIS picturesque 1.13 hectare rural property lends itself perfectly to the self-sustaining good life where you can run a few grazing animals and cultivate your own small hobby farm.

A sleek kitchen features stainless-steel appliances including a wall-oven and a dishwasher. There is a useful island bench, a second prep area has a sink, and

generous storage solutions complement the large pantry.

An adjoining dining and family area showcasing porcelain floor tiles opens to a sunny alfresco courtyard that affords a view across the gardens. A separate formal lounge has a lovely wood heater, and the soft neutral colour scheme is the perfect accompaniment to the outside landscape which is visible through a second set of sliding doors that opens to an undercover entertainment area. Three bright and distinct bedrooms all have built-in robes and share the updated main bathroom, whilst the larger main bedroom also

receives plenty of natural light and features an ensuite and walk-in robe. Outbuildings are a must for any rural property and the ones here provide excellent storage solutions.

There is a large machinery shed and workshop, a separate wood shed, double garage and a carport.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

The benefits of chiropractic care IF you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visited a chiropractor before, the chances are you may be doing your body a disservice, not only for now, but also for the long WHUP KHDOWK EHQHÂżWV WKDW FKLURSUDFWLF adjustments promote in helping you become healthy, mobile and active.

The whole basis of chiropractic care is to address the spinal column â&#x20AC;&#x201C; home to the nervous system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then to align the body in order for it to heal via a series of adjustments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone wants better health, and an important key to that is assessing any loss of function to the spinal column and making corrections that help the body to heal itselfâ&#x20AC;? explains Dr Adam Sherriff, of Wellbeing Natural Health Group in Langwarrin.

While the thought of spinal adjustment, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;back crackingâ&#x20AC;? prevents some people seeking chiropractic care, the actual practice is a gentle treatment that yields impressive results. In fact the popping sound is not bones cracking at all, but the release of gas produced E\ Ă&#x20AC;XLG EHWZHHQ WKH MRLQWV MXVW OLNH when people crack their knuckles.

If the cracking sound makes you squeamish there are other adjustment options, just as effective, that the chiropractor can use that involve no joint popping at all. So everyone, of DOO DJHV FDQ UHFHLYH WKH EHQHÂżWV RI chiropractic care.

Relief is often instant, although on rare occasions some people may experience a mild degree of stiffness,

similar to the after effects felt upon starting a new exercise routine, but there really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any pain or discomfort.

Located at 96 Warrandyte Road, /DQJZDUULQ WKH RIÂżFHV RI 7KH Wellbeing Natural Health Group have been recently renovated to give it a fresh, clean and updated look. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that health should be celebrated and seen as something that you come to as a group or community. It should not be a sterile and stale environment, but rather, like when you go to the gym, juice bar or market, it becomes something that you celebrate in a healthy way, as opposed to going somewhere to get sick. People have much better results because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going somewhere to get healthy, not to go and be ill and manage disease. Embrace it and enjoy your health.â&#x20AC;? Says Dr Adam.

Dr Adam and Dr Carl are also passionate about empowering and educating their patients on how to help themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to give all of our patients the best start in their care, getting them healthier and improving vitality as quickly as possible. For this reason, all new patients to the clinic can come along to our pre care orientation, where they will get the information and tools they need to get the most out of their care, to get better quicker and stay healthier for longer.

FOR Hearing Awareness Week Nepean Hearing is offering free hearing tests and rating your Hearing for Your Age (for the over 40’s).

Hearing Awareness Week is Sunday 20th -26th August.

The number of Australians who are hearing impaired is increasing because of • the Ageing Population –we are living longer • excessive Noise - in the workplace and high level music Hearing loss is often described as the ‘invisible disability’. People often wait for 5-10 years before they seek help. Hearing loss may also be a contributing factor in the speed of onset of dementia. The degree of loss is also correlated to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to know about your hearing.

Many people ignore the signs of hearing loss, which include turning the TV or stereo up so loud that others complain, frequently needing to ask others to repeat themselves and not being able to hear properly on the telephone. Constant ringing is also another warning sign of hearing loss.

As technology advances, many SHRSOH ZLWK KHDULQJ ORVV EHQH¿W IURP hearing aids. These innovations have made a positive difference in the way they can communicate and enjoy their lives.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Young woman hit by car and killed in Mornington Compiled by Cameron McCullough A FATAL motor accident occurred at Mornington on Wednesday afternoon, (says the “Age”.)

As Mr Albert Dawson, of Two Bay’s Nursery was crossing the street with his sister, Elsie ( Mabe) Dawson, a motor Car, driven an ordinary pace by Mr George Weigall, came round a corner, and before they could get clear it struck Miss Dawson to the ground, passing over her body.

Mr Weigall who had observed them too late to prevent a collision, immediately pulled up the car.

Miss Dawson, who was unconscious, and suffering from internal injuries, was conveyed to her home where she was attended by Dr Bird.

The case was pronounced hopeless.

Death occurred at 10 o’clock.

Miss Dawson was 22 years of age.

The funeral took place at Mornington on Thursday. *** THE “Australian.” Club will hold a dance in the Mechanics’ Hall this evening, to which all are welcome. *** MESSRS Adamson Strettle will hold their usual sale at Tanti, on Monday next for which good entries are advertised. *** THE infant son of Mr and Mrs J. Williams, of Frankston, is in hospital, very seriously ill. *** CR Oates invites the ratepayers of the North Riding of the Shire to attend a meeting at the Frankston Mechanics’, on Wednesday evening next, to hear him give an account of his stewardship during the last six years, as their repre-

sentative at the Council table. *** IN the course of an article on the treatment of pastures for the prevention of cripples, etc., in cattle in the Victorian Journal of Agriculture for the present month there is an interesting account by one of the Government Dairy Inspectors of a visit to the farms of the Misses Baxter at Mt Eliza and of Messrs Grindal and Jones of Moorooduc. *** THE Belgian cushion which was raffled

by Miss Martindale has realized the sum of £2 3s for the Lady Mayoress’ Patriotic League.

Mrs Scott, of Port Melbourne, is the winner of the cushion, holding ticket No 121.

Miss Martindale is very grateful for the help she received from her Frankston friends. *** THE Pageant of Loyalty which was to have taken place in Frankston on Saturday last, and had to be postponed for the second time, on account of very wet weather, is to take place on Saturday, September 1st, and promises to be even a greater success than was ever anticipated.

Larger committees have been formed and everybody is setting about their work in a manner which can only mean success.

All bodies who expected, and had promised to take part in the proceedings, will look upon September 1st as a settled date, and one which will long be remembered.

A grand concert is arranged to take place in the evening. *** AS a great number of people had hired

fancy costumes, to take part in the procession, and were unable to wear them on account of the wet day, a fancy dress dance was held on Saturday night, and many fine costumes were worn.

Eighteen pence and one shilling was the price of admission, and over ten pounds was taken at the door, which will go towards paying the Pageant of Loyalty expenses.

The “Wattle” Club gave the refreshments, having provided more than was necessary for the soldiers in the afternoon.

Dancing was indulged in till twelve o’clock to music supplied by Mr Brierley, and a very happy evening was spent. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions.

Monday August 13th, 1917. (Before Mr Cohen. P.M. and Messrs Williams, Oates, Crawford Grant, Murray and McLean Js.P.) CRUELTY TO A HORSE. F. C Ryan, Constable of police v Peter Nicotingo.Mr Cook appeared for the complainant.

F. V. Taylor deposed that he was a motor garage a proprietor residing at Frankston. Remembered Friday 27th July. Saw accused on that day bring his horse into the yard of the Pier Hotel, and put it in the stable.

The horse was in very poor condition. Accused made no provision for feeding the horse. Accused never rang witness up asking him to feed or water the animal.

A. Evens deposed that he saw accused put the horse in the stable and corroborated the evidence of the former witness.

The saddle and bridle were left on

the horse.

Const Ryan deposed that he visited the Pier Hotel stables on 28th July, and saw a grey horse in a very emaciated condition.

It was tied up with the bridle on and the bit in its mouth. He saw no sign of water or feed.

On the Sunday following, the defendant went to him about the horse. He acknowledged that he had not left any instructions, with regard to feeding or watering the horse.

For the defence accused said he was called hurridly to Melbourne on account of his mother’s illness and when he did not return the same evening he telephoned to Taylor the next duty to look after the horse.

The Bench held the accused guilty, but on account of him being a pensioner and in ill health they would let him off with a fine of 20s in default 7 days imprisonment with 21s coats.

USING UTTERANCES PREJUDICIAL TO RECRUITING Chas A. Tait appeared to answer the above charge.

Mr Williams, instructed by an officer of the Crown Law Department appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Sunniberg for the defence.

In outlining the case Mr Williams said the words were spoken by accused at a dinner given at the Pier Hotel on the evening of the 29th June when during an interval a lady asked the chairman’s permission to say a few words in favor of recruiting.

Permission was given, and it was whilst the lady was speaking that the accused rose and said he objected to anyone speaking in favor, of recruiting and any woman who persuaded a man

SCOTTISH SINGERSONGWRITER ISLA GRANT HITS FRANKSTON Following her 2015 triumphant sell-out concert performances, Scotland’s legendary singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT returns to Australia with exciting new songs from her latest album release “I’m A Survivor” - plus her extensive repertoire of most loved music.

The ever-popular singer will be touring with her equally talented husband AL GRANT and singer and multi-instrumentalist GLEN FLYNN. As an Internationally acclaimed recording artist ISLA GRANT’s distinctive voice encompasses all genres from country folk songs to easy listening compliments an evening of old favourites to new songs - this has established her as a major recording artist in the USA, Canada, U.K, Australia and New Zealand. The Triple-Platinum Recording singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT in Concert promises to be an unmissable event.

ISLA GRANT hails from Scotland and a household name in Ireland and has developed a large following here in Australia and New Zealand. She started out as a folk singer, but these days she’s known as a singer/song writer whose music style crosses from country/folk to easy listening...

The Allanton, Berwickshire based ISLA GRANT never had any doubts about career ambitions, having grown up around music, her father was a piper, her mother was a singer and her grandfather a fiddler. From the age of 14 Isla was performing in the folk clubs of Glasgow and Edinburgh.“The big acts working the folk clubs, at the time, were Eddie & Finbar Furey, The Dubliners & Billy Connolly, who was a member of the group named “The Humblebums” she recalled. A few years later Isla took her

music South of the Border, to the clubs of Northeast England, a tough learning ground for any newcomer in the business, where audiences clearly let it be known if they didn’t like a performance. Someone once remarked, “If you can work these clubs, you can work anywhere!” ISLA GRANT passed her apprenticeship with flying colours.

Around this time her music moved away from folk to country and she started listening to the music of Merle Haggard, “He is possibly the finest country artist of them all, his songs have got me through a lot of hard times over the years”. The club scene also brought her in contact with Al, who was heading up his own band. They married in 1992, after having worked as Isla Grant & Al Young.

ISLA GRANT had built up a considerable repertoire, but facing an audience again would be a traumatic ordeal. However, having made the decision she appeared at a theatre in Kelso, where she received an immediate & enthusiastic response and she soon overcame all fear & trepidation.A recording deal was struck with a record company in Dublin, who also represent Foster & Allen.

Now after 11 albums, some of which have gone triple platinum, ISLA GRANT has branched out and started her own record label (I.G.E) and released her first album on her own label in October 2008.

ISLA GRANT now tours the world and has an ever-increasing fan base that enthusiastically support her live concerts and album releases.

to enlist, and that man was killed, was a murderess, and if a man did so he was a murderer.

The accused was asked to retire from the room but refused to do so, when he was escorted to the door by two returned soldiers, he retired.

Jas Grice, sworn, deposed that he remembered the evening of 29th June.

Was chairman at dinner given at Pier Hotel on that evening. He gave permission for Mrs Heymenson to address those assembled.

Accused objected to the lady speaking, and said she was as bad as a murderess.

He was asked to withdraw his statement but he said he would not. He was then asked to leave the room and when he refused Messrs Taylor and Dial escorted him to the door.

He was not the worse for drink.

Messrs Taylor, Young, Brody and Mrs Heymenson corroborated the evidence of Mr Grice.

Const Ryan said that he saw accused on the 8th July last when he handed the constable a written statement (which was read in court.)

In the statement the accused said his mind was a blank to all that had occurred after he entered the supper room that evening, and he had no recollection of anything that had occurred, He must have been out of his mind at the time, and was very sorry for what he had said. He was a loyal subject and subscribed liberally to patriotic funds.

The Bench considered the offence proved and the accused was fined £25 with £7 7s costs. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 August 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Fist Bump Your Way to Glory

By Stuart McCullough IT’S weird, when you think about it. In fact, if you give it any more than a moment’s thought, it’s downright bizarre. The idea of greeting someone by offering your hand to them so that they might place their palm against yours while a pair of conjoined knuckles bump up and down – it’s a ritual from another age. For starters, it’s desperately unhygienic. Not to mention the fact that some people – try as they might – just can’t do it properly. Too soft and it’s a sign of weakness.

Too rough and people will either think your unhinged or President Trump; if, indeed, those two things are in fact different.

The origins of the handshake go right back to at least the fifth century BC, probably right after the first ever tennis match. It’s believed that the ritual developed as a gesture of peace, a way of demonstrating that you were unarmed. Notwithstanding the irony of proving that you’re unarmed by offering your hand, a custom developed and has been with us ever since. Frankly, it’s unnecessary. I shouldn’t have to prove to you that I am not packing heat. That much should be assumed.

And it’s strange that something that’s meant to be a friendly gesture could, in fact, be passing on scabies.

There are different types of handshakes. The scouting movement prefers to shake with the left hand, catching the unwitting off their guard.

Doubtless, the reverse handshake owes much to the scouting motto – ‘Be Prepared’. If you’re ready when someone thrusts his greasy southpaw in your direction, you’re pretty much ready for anything. Freemasons (apparently) have a secret handshake. There’s also the ‘double hander’ in which you use your free left hand to grip the recipient’s forearm. It’s either a gesture of intimacy or preparation for a judo throw.

The world’s record for the longest handshake was set in 2008. Clocking in at nine hours and thirty minutes, Kevin Whittaker and Cory Jens

Western Port News 15 August 2017

entered the handshake hall of fame. I’m not sure how you’d go about congratulating someone for an achievement of that nature. Normally, you’d shake hands, but that seems like overkill in this instance. Clearly, though, this was a record that was highly coveted and it was broken the following year by Jack Tsonis and Lindsay Morrison who shook hands for a staggering twelve hours and thirty four minutes. I can only hope they’re still on speaking terms.

Sadly, there was barely time to bask in the afterglow of their achievement before their record was smashed the following week by Matthew Rosen and Joe Ackerman who took it north of fif-

teen hours and presumably had nothing better to do. In January 2011, the record book was rewritten with four people sharing the honours. Alistair Galpin, Don Purdon and brothers, Rohish and Santosh Timilsina succeeded in shaking hands for thirty three hours and three minutes. That’s more than a day. I’m not sure what the mechanics of a handshake like that must be or how they navigate the call of nature, but I suspect there would be moments when a handshake of such dimensions would be confronting. It’s obvious that we’ve taken the handshake just about as far as it can go. It’s time we moved on to something that’s ‘next level’.

Say a big ‘hello’ to the fist bump. In stark contrast to the handshake, there’s little in the way of contact and, therefore, a lot less bacteria. But it’s got so much more than its hygienic superiority in its favour. The handshake has its origins in proving you don’t have a weapon. It’s practically a gesture of surrender. The fist bump, however, comes to us from the sport of boxing. It’s a sign of respect.

A handshake is just a handshake. But a fist bump has lots of other incredibly cool names, like the ‘power five’, ‘PIB’ (which stands for ‘pound it bro’) and, my personal favourite, ‘pibbys’. More than that, a fist bump was how the Wonder Twins transformed themselves into some other object.

Barely an episode of ‘Super Friends’ passed by without Zan and Jayna performing an alien fist bump and declaring ‘Wonder Twin powers – activate!’ You don’t get superpowers with a handshake. Not ever.

Sweaty palms? No problem. With a power five, no one need ever know. Concerned that your handshake will betray you as never having done a day’s manual labour in your life? Well fear no more. The fist bump has you well and truly covered. Fit for any occasion, it’s truly a greeting for the twenty first century.

So don’t be shy. Whether you’re being interviewed for a big new job or congratulating the parish priest after the Sunday ceremony, give the fist bump a whirl. And if the person you’re trying to greet looks confused at your attempt to give a power five, don’t despair. You’ll be able to comfort yourself that your proposed greeting has just a fraction of the germs as well as being the salutation of choice of many of world’s most talented sports people. As for me, I’m not sure I ever really mastered the handshake. So if you see me down the street, don’t be offended if I decline to shake your hand. Just offer me pibbys and we’ll be fine. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Redlegs win after siren and move into five PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT ELIZA moved back inside the top five in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Sunday after an after-the-siren victory against Mornington at Alexandra Park.

James Hammond took a wonderful pack park in the goal square with just seconds on the clock and then went back and converted after the siren to hand the Redlegs a five point win.

Despite the fact that an inexperienced, more committed Mornington side appeared the better side all afternoon, Mt Eliza always seemed to have the answers at the right time.

Warwick Miller was clearly the most influential and best player on the ground with seven goals for Mornington but it wasn’t enough to claim the victory.

The Redlegs are now inside the top five by less than two per cent, pushing Seaford out of the top bracket.

In the final game of the season, Seaford plays Bonbeach at Bonbeach while Mt Eliza hosts bottom of the ladder Langwarrin.

The final five is now set.

It what was a critical game for Seaford against Edithvale-Aspendale at home on Saturday.

Despite drawing level in the last quarter, the Tigers went down by seven points, 11.14 (80) to 12.15 (87).

The loss dropped the Tigers out of the top five, equal on points with Mt Eliza by two percent in arrears.

The Tigers lost the game with a poor first quarter, down by 31 points at the first change.

They rallied until the end but once again the Eagles showed they are true contenders for the title.

Charlie Martello snagged four for

the winners and Jeremy Heys and Timmy Mannix were superb.

Curtus Murfett, Rourke Fischer and Damian Rayson were superb for the Tigers.

Pines returned the winner’s list on Saturday after four straight losses, beating Chelsea by 10 goals.

The game was tight early but the Pythons shifted up a gear in the second half, booting 10 goals to four to win 18.12 (120) to 9.6 (60).

The Pythons seemed to have lost their way since star Aaron Edwards went down with a knee injury but they regained their mojo on Saturday.

Pythons coach Pat Swayne said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that his side had been maintaining its standards in every area, other than conversion.

“Aaron was converting his opportunities in front of goal at 87 per cent – that’s ridiculous accuracy,” Swayne said.

“We have been right there in our losses and all of our other key performance indicators like contested footy, inside 50’s etc have been consistent all season. It was just that conversion that was hurting us.

“Against Seaford last week we had our chances but booted 1.5 and two out-of-bounds on the full. You can’t win games with that return,” Swayne said.

It’s conversion as pretty good on Saturday, booting 18 of 30 opportunities at goal. More impressively, Pines had 10 contributors on the scoreboard.

Despite the loss, it’s been an exciting week for the Seagulls with Brett Dunne handing over the coaching reigns to James Brain in 2018. Dunne has done a superb job with the club since taking over as coach and has

provided great stability after having five coaches in five seasons. He has been well-supported by the hard working executive and committee at the club also.

Current Mordialloc-Braeside Under 17 coach Dan Knopers will take over the Gull’s Under 19s next season in another exciting development or the club.

More exciting news at Karingal too with Michael Burke declaring he will go around again next season to celebrate the new social rooms and of course be around to help celebrate the 300th game of great mate Luke VanRaay, who is missing at the moment with a knee injury. Burke, who is tipped to win his 10th club best and fairest this season, is showing no signs of slowing down.

Unfortunately though on Saturday against Bonbeach, the Bulls were not able to push in the second half, going down by 39 points, 13.6 (84) to 6.9 (45).

Riley Hodson “brought his own footy” to Lloyd Park in Frankston YCW’s 16.18 (114) to 6.5 (41) win against Langwarrin.

Hodson booted five majors and was the best player on the ground in what was Craig Nankervis’ 250th game for the club. Nankervis was only the seventh player in the club’s history to play 250 games.

Nick Tuddenham and Michael Parker were the best of the Kangas.

Too hot to handle: Frankston YCW got up easily over Langwarrin on Saturday. Picture: Scott Memery

Top five tussle down to final round NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE battle for a place in the top five will come down to the final game of the season this Saturday in MPNFL Nepean Division football.

Red Hill and Dromana are separated in fifth and sixth position by just 1.64 percent going into the final round.

Red Hill faces Tyabb and Dromana plays Rye in the last game.

The Hillmen went into Saturday’s round holding a .6 per cent lead over Dromana, however, with a convincing 78-point victory over Crib Point, were able to extend their margin (121.76 per cent v 120.12 per cent).

Dromana too faced a tough contest against Pearcedale at Pearcedale but walked away with a 77-point victory.

Meanwhile, Rosebud booted the last three goals of the game in the final 12 minutes in the last quarter to force a drawn game with Hastings.

The Blues’ form had been strong coming into the clash with narrow losses against the competition’s powerhouses Sorrento and Frankston Bombers.

At the 14-minute mark of the last quarter, Hastings’ star Paul Rogasch booted his sixth goal of the match and extended the margin to what appeared to be a match-winning 17 points.

However, a snap from Aaron Rose and a conversion to Brenton Payne in the dying minutes dragged the scores to 10.12 (72) apiece.

Anthony Pegg and Sean Downie were superb for the Buds while Rogasch, Stevey Robb and Matt Clifford on Keegan Downie were fantastic for the Blues.

It was Rosebud’s first match against a top side in the past two months. However, it would need to improve considerably on that performance on Saturday to be considered a genuine threat for the title.

Chris Irving booted seven goals and was dominant for Red Hill against Crib Point, helping his side to a 19.22 (136) to 9.4 (58) win. Brad Davidson booted four second-half goals and Luke Herrington played arguably his best game of the season.

Matt Hammond and Rikki Johnston booted four goals each in Dromana’s 20.13 (133) to 8.8 (56) win against Pearcedale.

In what appeared to be a danger game for the Tigers, they were able to boot 11 goals to four after half time. Shaun Clarke was again outstanding, this time pushing forward and booting three goals.

Andrejs Everitt made it nine goals in two weeks after booting four majors in Somerville’s 14.20 (104) to 4.7 (31) victory over Tyabb.

Timmy McGenniss and Benny Sedgewick were outstanding in the win.

In the final game, Sam Fox booted six goals and Jason Kingsbury four in Frankston’s strong 18.18 (126) to 8.5 (53) win against Devon Meadows.

No quarter given: Rosebud and Hastings played out a dramatic draw at the weekend. Picture: Rab Siddhi Western Port News 15 August 2017

MPNFL clubs ‘to take control’

By Toe Punt MORNINGTON Peninsula Nepean Football League clubs may be forced to investigate alternative administration to manage their competition after their calls for a structure not involving South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs once again fell on AFL South East deaf ears at a meeting held last Wednesday night.

MPNFL club delegates met at Frankston Bombers last week and once again voted unanimously against any divisional structure that included South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs.

However, AFL South East General Manager John Anderson, who asked if he could attend the meeting, once again refused to provide his views on the proposal.

What Mr Anderson was keen to push across though was his claims that a number of clubs wrote to him after the proforma letter was sent to

say they supported divisional football.

He would not share details of who those clubs were.

Regardless, for the second time in a month, clubs in attendance voted unanimously against the AFL South East recommendations of a three-tier divisional structure involving SENFL. Mr Anderson was joined at the meeting by AFL South East commissioners, former Frankston YCW star Paul Theobald and former EdithvaleAspendale president Ted Turner.

MPNFL clubs may be left with no other choice but to seek alternatives to their governance.

Meanwhile, SENFL Clubs are also feeling frustrated over the constant procrastination of the region’s governing body to make a decision, given it was supposed to hand down recommendations at the end of 2016.

Already this year, the submission period was extended, despite the MPNFL’s staunch stance, whilst a commission decision was deferred last

week to 21 August.

There’s still no guarantee that a decision will be made on 21 August, despite recommendations being heard on that date by the commission.

In a landscape that currently seems shaky, one thing is for certain, SENFL clubs are becoming increasingly frustrated, their hands tied in planning for 2018.

Kahl Heinze, a former Narre Warren president and a key member in leading the Casey-Cardinia breakaway from the MPNFL, took to social media to express his frustrations.

“It’s been said before – the answer that’s best for SENFL Clubs is an en-masse move to Southern Football League to create a new premier division,” Mr Heinze wrote.

“AFL SE has ignored this completely the whole time. Nepean and Peninsula have been steadfast in their stance for three years so divisional football was never going to involve the MPNFL Leagues. “I’m sorry

to say this but the AFLSE has been asleep at the wheel on this one – politics and regional commission boundaries have proven to be more important to our governing body than the survival of clubs in the SENFL. “Maybe it’s time for a review into the effectiveness of the AFLSE itself,” he said.

It is believed that the struggling Hampton Park is seeking a lifeline in the Southern League, leaving just eight SENFL clubs, something they are not enthusiastic about with fees split between fewer clubs putting additional financial pressure on the clubs.

A number of SENFL Clubs, including Pakenham, Cranbourne and Beaconsfield, released statements last week supporting AFL South East’s stance on a divisional structure involving MPNFL clubs.

The alternatives being flagged by the SENFL Clubs are to join a neigh-

bouring league en-masse or going it alone to seek new homes which would fracture and eventually break the SENFL competition.

SENFL clubs are clearly understanding and supportive of the MPNFL clubs’ plight, although they are rightly and understandably seeking the best interests of themselves and the future of their own competition.

The MPNFL clubs are doing the same thing and it doesn’t involve SENFL. So, is a decision made based on the best interests of eight or nine clubs who generally admit geographically it doesn’t make sense or do MPNFL clubs get listened to?

If AFL South East’s stance on Wednesday night is any indication, then divisional football will be introduced regardless of the unanimous thoughts of its member clubs.

With that, the clubs just may feel they have little choice but to seek alternative administration.

Season on the line for Langwarrin, Mornington SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN and Mornington go head-to-head on Saturday at Lawton Park in the most anticipated contest on the peninsula for years.

At stake is a place in next season’s National Premier League second division and the honour of becoming the first local outfit to gain entry to Victoria’s elite club competition.

Langy’s lead in the race for the State 1 South-East title was cut to five points over Mornington last weekend.

While Gus Macleod’s side had to settle for a point in a controversial 0-0 draw away to Manningham United, Adam Jamieson’s men were engineering a stunning 3-2 come-from-behind away win over Caulfield United Cobras.

Caulfield’s Mario Hofmann had Mornington on the back foot when he opened the scoring after just four minutes and two excellent defensive plays inside the area by youngster Charlie Parker stopped the home side from increasing its lead.

On both occasions, Parker didn’t dive in but used his body well to first outmanoeuvre beanpole striker Cort Kibler-Melby in the 24th minute then Hofmann in the 36th minute.

Then the man that can’t stop scoring, Sammy Orritt, levelled in the 38th minute from close range.

A minute later Wayne Gordon made it 2-1 when he came steaming in at the back post to hammer home Ryan Paczkowski’s cutback from the left of the area.

A minute into the second period Gordon headed wide from point-blank range following Keegan Ziada’s cross from the left and Caulfield keeper Dennys Martin did well to parry a Paczkowski shot in the 66th minute following a fine pass from Scott Millar.

Four minutes later Caulfield midfielder Joe Summerbell curled his shot onto the bar after a great run by Chris Smack but Caulfield captain Danny Topping’s back post header in the 75th minute made it 2-2.

Jamieson rolled the dice by bringing on central defensive stalwart Stevie Elliott and playing him up front and it was a gamble that would pay enormous dividends.

With Mornington’s title tilt in the balance and the clock ticking over into the second minute of time added Orritt

gained possession wide on the right.

He jinked this way and that creating enough room for a cross and when he delivered he put the ball on a plate for Elliott who came thundering in to power his header home for the decider.

The celebrations which followed showed how much this meant to Mornington’s players, bench and supporters.

Meanwhile up at Park Avenue Reserve the travelling Langy fans were bemoaning referee Manny Haractsis’ decision to ignore penalty appeals in the 89th minute.

Substitute Navin Vellupilay played a one-two with Alex Metcalfe then was felled inside the area but play was waved on.

A few minutes earlier gun Langy import Connor Belger had broken through into a one-on-one with Manningham keeper Mathew Banovic but shot wide with the goal at his mercy.

Despite Belger’s miss, he remains the man who holds the key to Langy’s fortunes this weekend while the club will test the fitness of defender Kieron Kenny and striker Liam Baxter.

Western Port News 15 August 2017

There’s little doubt that one of the men Langy must curtail is 24-year-old Englishman Orritt.

His signing in June has been a masterstroke and he has become Mornington’s talisman.

The former Rotherham United junior has taken State 1 by storm with nine goals in seven games and is a class act.

While the title race is yet to be decided no such doubt exists in the State 1 South-East reserves competition with Ronnie Whitton’s Langwarrin defeating Manningham 1-0 to clinch the championship.

Substitute Mitch Blake scored the winner in the 80th minute.

Langy’s closest rival was Clifton Hill but it went down 4-2 to St Kilda while Mornington took over second spot with a 4-0 win in curious circumstances.

Both Caulfield and Mornington reserves squads arrived at Victory Park to find that the ground hadn’t been marked out but referee Dragoslav Mirkovic was in a benevolent mood and allowed the game to start 24 minutes after the appointed kick-off time of 1pm and con-

sist of 35-minute halves.

What had started in bizarre fashion descended into farce in the second half when the referee indicated to the Mornington bench that if they didn’t substitute Irishman Mick Richardson then he was going to send him off.

No prizes for guessing Richardson’s reaction as he headed for an early shower.

Mirkovic had far less impact on proceedings as an assistant referee in the senior match.

Southern United’s under-13s have both hands firmly on the NPLW championship but can’t hold the trophy aloft just yet.

Their 2-1 win away to Bulleen on Sunday gives them a seven-point lead over Calder United plus a vastly superior goal difference with just three games left.

Southern’s goalscorer was Brianna Watson, her first came two minutes before the break and the second seven minutes into the second half.

The seniors (8.30pm) and under-18s (6.30pm) play at Bulleen’s Veneto Club tonight (Monday).

Peninsula Strikers are staring down the barrel after going down 6-3 to visitors Beaumaris on Saturday.

Declan Byrne opened the scoring for Beaumaris in the 11th minute but his contribution ended in the 84th minute when he was sent off.

Other Beaumaris scorers were Kieron Kennedy (28th, 61st), Adam Hester (37th, 44th) and Toby Nowell (85th).

Raphael Stulz (5th, 92nd) and Chris McKenna (70th) scored for Strikers.

Doncaster Rovers leapfrogged Strikers with a 3-1 win home win over North Caulfield on Saturday night pushing the Centenary Park club into second last spot in State 2 South-East.

Another local State 2 club, Seaford United, continued its miserable season with a 7-0 drubbing away to title contender Eltham Redbacks on Saturday all but condemning Paulo Pinheiro’s side to a last-placed finish while Frankston Pines’ 0-0 home draw with Old Scotch pushes Pines five points clear of the relegation zone.

Skye United clings on to a one-point lead over third-placed Brandon Park in State 3 South-East and faces a crucial fixture on Saturday against State 3 South-East champion elect Knox City at Skye Recreation Reserve.

Skye won 2-0 away from home against Noble Park on Saturday while

Brandon Park thumped bottom side Sandringham City 7-2 and now has the same goal difference as Skye and has scored more goals.

Both clubs meet in round 22 in what looms as a season-defining contest.

Although Skye dominated most of the possession in the early exchanges on Saturday Noble Park was denied by the crossbar on three occasions.

However midway through the half Marcus Collier found space in the box and lashed home a strike to give the visitors the lead.

The second half was much of the same as chances went begging for the visitors but after some nervous moments in defence Skye substitute Lawrence Komba won a penalty in the 90th minute and skipper Mark O’Connor calmly finished it off.

The match ended on a sour note for Skye with Johnny Andrinopolous being sent off after receiving a second yellow card deep into injury time.

Baxter’s hopes of promotion from State 4 South came to a full stop on Saturday with a shock 4-1 loss to secondbottom side Hampton Park United.

Hampton Park led 2-0 at half time with goals from Daniel Milne (8th minute) and Mitchell Hawkins (25th) while a second-half double from Adrian Mirauta completed the rout.

Baxter’s sole response came from leading scorer Mark Pagliarulo.

Springvale City remained on top of the State 4 South table with a 3-0 win over Rosebud Heart at Ross Reserve on Friday night.

Springvale’s scorers were Adem Alicevic (7th minute), Minas Leminded (31st) and substitute Dzenan Mujcic (87th).

This weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Mornington (Lawton Park), Frankston Pines v Beaumaris (Monterey Reserve), Seaford Utd v Old Scotch (North Seaford Reserve), Skye Utd v Knox (Skye Recreation Reserve), Baxter v Harrisfield Hurricanes (Baxter Park), Rosebud Heart v Hampton Park Utd (Truemans Road Reserve), Somerville Eagles v White Star Dandenong (Barber Reserve).

SATURDAY 7pm: Heatherton Utd v Peninsula Strikers (Bosnia and Herzegovina Centre).

SUNDAY 3pm: Southern Utd v NTC (Monterey Reserve, U13s bye, U15s 11.30am, U18s 1pm).

Blairgowrie boxer clashes gloves with China’s champ

By Ben Triandafillou BLAIRGOWRIE boxer Jayde ‘J-Mitch’ Mitchell faced the undefeated Super Middleweight Champion of China, Aniwaer Yilixiati, in a much-anticipated match-up on Friday 4 August at the Melbourne Pavilion.

Aspiring to become a world champion, Mitchell put his WBA Oceania and WBC OPBF Super Middleweight titles and world ranking on the line to face one of his toughest opponents to date.

Mitchell was struck with a powerful blow from Yilixiati in the first round and dropped to the ground where he was “gone” for a short period.

Returning to his feet and regaining his focus, Mitchell was able to bounce back and proved his dominance in the ring defeating Yilixiati by unanimous decision in a hard-fought 10-round battle.

“He was the toughest fight of my career by far,” Mitchell said.

“He was such a big puncher and had great balance, power and timing - he was more than just a slugger.

“He’s part Turkish, had about 200 amateur fights and was moved to China where he has been groomed to become world champ.

“They thought he would be too much for me

but that didn’t work out.”

Initially suffering a setback with Yilixiati’s visa, Mitchell had a legitimate reason to fight a lesser opponent if he wished and defend both titles against them but instead waited until the issue was resolved.

“I wanted to prove to myself that I belong in the ring with some of these top fighters,” he said.

“All the training would have been wasted and I have to face these tougher opponents if I want to make it further.

“That’s why I was over the moon to take on such a seasoned amateur fighter and beat him in the fashion I did.”

Mitchell sparred with the hard-hitting and two times Super Middleweight World Champion Sakio ‘The Scorpion’ Bika in preparation for the fight.

“I needed someone like Sakio [Bika] so I could feel comfortable with that sort of power,” he said.

“I’ve always had fairly good movement but knowing that Yilixiati was such a big puncher I needed to feel more comfortable when facing it.

“By the end, I definitely respected his power but I certainly didn’t fear it.”

Mitchell is now preparing to return to the Melbourne Pavilion on the 6 October with his opponent yet to be announced.

Rally to put peninsula on the map THE world-renowned Targa Florio vintage car rally will, for the first time, race outside of Italy and through the Mornington Peninsula later this year.

More than 200 classic cars will travel across 1200 kilometres of Victoria and make their way from the Bellarine Peninsula to the Mornington Peninsula via ferry on Friday 1 December.

The prestigious road race is scheduled to travel through Mornington’s wine region and up through Red Hill before heading towards San Remo and onto Healesville on the Saturday.

The four-day event which is set to begin on Thursday 30 November will mark the 101st anniversary of the Targa Florio and is expected to attract thousands of car lovers, celebrities and international media.

Over the years the Targa Florio has attracted some of the top international car makers such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Bugatti, Lancia, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.

This year’s event will also feature 101 Ferraris competing in the popular Ferrari Tribute as well as pop trio ‘Il Volo’ – who have performed alongside Barbara Streisand, Placido Domingo and at the Eurovision Song Contest – also performing at the race’s closing ceremony.

“These classic cars will travel to some of our most breathtaking destinations, breathing more life into regional communities across Victoria,” Minister for Tourism and Major Events, John Eren, said.

“Our love of sport and fast cars, coupled with our beautiful scenery and large Italian community, makes us the perfect host for such an occasion.”

This will mark Victoria as the only place in the world to host the F1 Grand Prix, the Moto GP and the Targa Florio, all of which are sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

By Ben Triandafillou AUSSIE Rules enjoyed an international flavour at Peninsula Grammar, Mt Eliza last week when Great Britain and Fiji played in the second round of the AFL International Women’s Cup. Great Britain got off to a flying start at the Harry Macdonald Oval, but seemed to tire early in the third quarter. A fired-up Fiji made a late surge and, with eight minutes left to go, had narrowed the gap to only two points.

A late goal from Great Britain’s Stacey Hughes broke Fiji’s momentum and secured her side’s second cup victory: Great Britain 5.3 (33) beat Fiji 3.6 (24).

Peninsula Grammar’s Acting Director of Sport, Shona Middleton, described the atmosphere as “incredible” and said it was great to

have the match played at the school. “Everyone was really energetic and excited to have a professional game played at Peninsula Grammar,” she said.

“We had amazing interest from across our school from the kinder children to Year 12.

They surrounded the oval to watch the historic match.

“The Year 4 students even created a guardof-honour with banners made for Fiji and Great Britain adding to the great atmosphere.”

Among the crowd was Year 9 student Saige Bayne, who just returned from Western Australia, where she helped Victoria to a grand final triumph over New South Wales in the School Sport Australia 15 and Under Australian Rules Football Championship.

A classic draw played out for The Blues HASTINGS FNC SATURDAY saw the Hastings FNC travel to Rosebud in what was going to be testing assignment.

In what turned out to be classic game in front of good sized crowd the final result was a draw which always leave you with a funny feeling.

The boys played a terrific brand of football; high intensity making the opposition fully accountable throughout the afternoon.

This week the club is back at home playing Devon Meadows in what will be a terrific day of local sport. Please get along and support the club as we approach another finals series.

Senior Report On Saturday the boys turned up with a great attitude. Their willingness to compete was outstanding.

Over the last six to seven weeks the boys have improved a lot. All the injuries and setbacks we have seems to have galvanized the group. This is transpiring to a wonderful effect with our on field results.

Reserves Report We faced off with Rosebud. They have been a very strong reserve grade team for a number of years now so we knew we were going to be up against it.

We started the game really well sharing the footy around and putting nice passages of play together.

Unfortunately as was the case last week we couldn’t put the score on the board, and create scoreboard pressure.

Rosebud scored really easily and skipped away to five goal lead at halftime.

After half time we were really disappointing. Our pressure dropped off and skills also suffered. We eventually went down in a disappointing loss.

On a positive note we had five under 19 boys step up and help out.

The guys did not look out of place and played fairly well.

We play Devon Meadows in our last home and away game, it’s a must win.

If a few results go our way we can make the finals in what would be a fantastic result for all the boys for the fantastic effort they have shown throughout the year.

Best players Dan Noble, Fraser Rendell and Matt Sawoz Under 19s Report We went into our game against

Picture: Rab Siddhi Rosebud with nothing to lose and all l wanted from the boys was a hard contested game of football.

As it is our last game of the year the boys responded with strong defence and fast breaking attacks.

This season has seen a massive improvement in how we move the ball as a team.

This certainly helped us when going forward, Rosebud however had numbers to rotate and in the end won the game.

As a coach proud of the hard style of footy the boys played throughout the season.

Best on the day Sean Hewitt, Peter Megee, Lachie Gibbs and Shelby Lothian.

Netball Report A big thank you to the Rosebud FNC for inviting our club into their rooms to announce our best players at the end of the day.

A great concept, clubs coming together at the end of the day to form relationships, that is what local sport is about.

With no D grade game, C grade got the day started. They were very undermanned with injuries and illness affecting their numbers.

They had a great battle, never giving up, the second quarter was their best taking the lead.

Rosebud fought hard to regain the lead and held to win the match.

Best player for C grade was Jaimi

Gay, who has got stronger and more consistent as the season has gone on.

B grade got off to a very good start in the first quarter being ahead at the first change.

The second quarter was their best.

Dominating in the defence end were Taylah Strange, Nicole Ram and Tash Green.

Defensive pressure has been our strength all year and now the attack end are starting to become more consistent in finishing off their hard work. It was a great win by the B grade team.

Last round this week against tough opposition in Devon Meadows, let’s finish the season strongly. ***

Next Round: Hastings FNC vs Devon Meadows FNC at Hastings, games start from 10.00 am. *** Upcoming Events: Presentation Night 23rd September for Bookings call the club 5979 1740 - Grand Final Breakfast 30th September from 7.00 am – 9.00 am Cost $80 Single or $600 table of 8 Bookings can be made by contacting the club on 5979 1740 Guest speakers Ex Carlton Great Anthony Koutoufides, Boxing Champ Sugar Kane Watts, and our Comedian The Suburban Footballer it will be a great event, Cost $80 Single includes Breakfast, champagne and Beer.

Netballers shine with two wins and two draws CRIB POINT FNC THE under 19’s would have liked to have come away with a win against Red Hill to help secure a double chance in the finals but it wasn’t to be.

A strong first quarter from the magpies was let down by poor second and third quarters.

Red Hill went into the last break 15 points ahead of the Magpies with the momentum all going their way.

The Magpies hit back half way through the last with a few goals and it looked like a last minute comeback from behind was on the cards.

Unfortunately, they fell short by five points.

Ryan Regan was best afield for the Magpies working hard through the middle of the ground while solid efforts from Aaron Whitford, Ned Shannon and Aaron King also allowed the Magpies to stay in the

game.

This week the side will face Somerville in what is a must win game if they want to finish top three come the seasons end.

The reserves got off to a slow start against Red Hill giving them a five goal head start.

Red Hill continued to punish the Magpies on the scoreboard for the remainder of the game finishing 71-point winners.

The Magpies did well to stop the Hillmen from capitalising on their dominance on the scoreboard fully, however they were still too good on the day.

Mitch Chopping was dominant for the Magpies when in the play while Riley “rizzle dizzle” Clifford also played well for the Magpies through the middle of the ground.

The reserves will be looking to finish off the year on a high next week when they come up against seventh

placed Somerville in their last hit out for the year.

The senior side took it up to Red Hill early in the contest.

Strong tackling pressure and intent allowed them to hold a 10-point lead going into the first break.

A big second term for Red Hill lead to them turning it around and they ran away with a 78-point win in the end.

Brad Davidson was strong up forward all day for the Magpies, slotting four goals while Ethan “drumstick” Smith also provided a good option heading into the forward line.

Although the side weren’t able to win the game there were a few positives to come out of it and hopefully this is a platform for the side to build on coming into the last round of the season.

This week the seniors will be hoping to finish the year off well when they face Somerville. ***

IT was a very tough day at the office last week when we welcomed Red Hill for our last home game.

D grade had their best game by far.

They lead most of the game but got a bit tired in the last quarter with the game resulting in a draw.

Their improvement from when they took on Red Hill in the second round to now is incredible. They should be proud of their efforts.

BOC went to Indie who had a great attacking game and Chloe who killed it in WD. C grade had a solid 27 goal win with a team that’s riddled with illness at the moment.

Lots of turnovers in defence allowed for many turnovers which the girls capitalised on.

BOC went to Amie for a great game in GK and special mention to Bridget and Kylie for their first game up in C grade!

B grade’s game was physical in

both ends and the game was tight all day.

An ankle injury to Casey in the first left them with just seven and during the final quarter a knee injury to Fi left the girls with six.

To push through the last bit of the game and finish with a draw is a hell of an effort.

BOC went to Dobbo for her great defensive pressure in attack.

A grade started the game amazingly but the second half wasn’t their cup of tea.

Red Hill fought back hard resulting in our girls only winning by five.

A hard hit out before finals is good thing and our girls will be ready.

BOC went to Tess for rallying amazingly all day in defence.

Our last game this week against Somerville! Massive game in all grades, let’s aim for four wins and celebrate at our function after!

Go Crib!

heritage Tavern & Restaurant

The Heritage Tavern started life as a respite holiday place used by the Paddle Shoe company to send their employees to for a seaside holiday.

Originally located in Tanti Avenue in Mornington, this lovely 1930’s building was later moved to its current site and became the home of a former Sorrento Principal and his wife. They were the people who planted the beautiful camellias by the entrance to the house.

Local businessman Laurie Sheeran purchased the house and converted it to a restaurant. He added land and had a vision of a lovely place for the people around Balnarring. His vision was perhaps ahead of its time as the restaurant tried many dynamics and most of them struggled.

Finally the restaurant found its way into trouble with underage drinking, loud music and a rough reputation. Plans were made to sell the property

to the developers for retirement age housing.

At the death knell, Mick and Gail Loveridge purchased the property 7 years ago to run the place as an English style tavern that catered for families. With every attempt to show off local produce, the tavern is a fabulous place for families to gather on a Sunday to enjoy the live music that is available free of charge. The only underage drinking that takes place these days are toddlers drinking a lemonade!

Call in to enjoy the locally grown Tyabb lamb roast. Keep an eye out for the ghost that visits occasionally, sit by the open fire places and enjoy the camellias which just thrive out on the front step. It’s a place where kids can kick the football, Dad’s can enjoy a beer and Mum’s can take time out. The old house continues to nurture and provide respite to those who visit in its 87th year.
