THE opening of the Coffee and Conversation Cafe at Western Port Secondary College was a hit with locals who enjoy just that – a cuppa and a chat.

About 100 people attended the opening, including school staff, industry representatives, parents and past students who had begun the cafe journey over the past two years.

The renovated cafe is the culmina-tion of efforts from VCAL students, school-based trainees, group training provider ATEP and local businesses who donated time, resources or expertise.

The driving force behind the cafe, acting assistant principal Donna Geritz, described it as “a power-ful training facility that engages young people, introduces them to the hospitality industry and gives them qualifi cations to support meaningful pathways in the future”.

THE $250,000 Hastings CCTV cam-eras were offi cially switched on last week with top ranking police, politi-cians, councillors and shire staff as-sembling in High St before fl icking the switch.

The nine cameras funded by the state government are near the skate park in Marine Pde, on the corner of High and Salmon Sts, in the Westernport Hotel car park, in Coles car park, in King St opposite the toilet block, in car parks near K-Mart and Woolworths, at the High St and Frankston-Flinders Rd corner and the roundabout at High and Victoria Sts.

Two existing cameras opposite the taxi rank in King St have been linked into the new CCTV system. Signs on poles are as required by regulation.

TV footage can be extracted and re-viewed after incidents and also can be used in court.

Cerberus Ward’s Cr David Garnock said the CCTV system was a step to-wards better community safety. “The shire has worked with local police, re-tailers and the community, and through extensive efforts I am delighted that the system is now operational and will assist in the management of crime.

“Local residents are incredibly proud of this town, and we hope the CCTV system will bring even greater com-munity pride and assist where neces-sary in the reduction and management of crime or anti-social activities.”

Cr Garnock told the gathering that

“pushing to have the cameras imple-mented was a long and frustrating pro-cess that, thankfully, is now resolved”.

“The council adopted the CCTV policy to promote health and safety. They don’t stop crime, but they raise community perceptions. They en-courage people to walk, shop and dine in the town and that’s good for business.”

He said three other peninsula loca-tions were being assessed for cameras.

Crime Prevention Minister Edward O’Donohue said Hastings was “more secure” with the cameras which were placed to help deter assaults, graffi ti, theft from motor vehicles and anti-social behaviour.

“We want Hastings to be an open inclusive place where people feel safe and welcome at all hours,” he said.

“The CCTV cameras will make a huge difference, assisting police in preventing, detecting and investigating crimes in Hastings’ busy town centre.”

Hastings MP Neale Burgess – who missed launch due to a dose of the fl u – later said police would be able to mon-itor and control the cameras as well as review footage of incidents.

At the control room at Hastings po-lice station, offi cers demonstrated how they can switch from camera to camera and zoom in on trouble spots.

They will not be monitored 24/7, but police can replay incidents at specifi c times.

Switching on the cameras soothes long running tensions over installation delays between the minister and Mr Burgess and shire offi cers.

Here’s looking at you: All eyes were on the new CCTV cameras in High St Hastings last week. In the police control room are Cr David Garnock, Crime Prevetion Minister Edward O’Donahue, Inspector Karen Nyholm and designer Paul Dingemans at the rear.Picture: Yanni

Cameras on for top view of crimeCameras on for top view of crime

Power provider United Energy was said to be “playing hard ball” over the siting of the cameras earlier this year, concerned the 240-volt camera power supply could make four of its collaps-ible steel electricity poles unsafe in the event of a car accident.

After months of negotiations the is-sue was resolved with power being fed from steel boxes at the bases of the poles.

Mr O’Donohue told state parliament in April the lack of progress in install-

ing the CCTV system was of “great concern”, particularly in light of the “tragic death last year of jeweller Der-mot O’Toole”.

He made a stinging attack on the shire over the delays at Hastings, as well as Mt Eliza and Mt Martha, writ-ing a critical letter to CEO Michael Kennedy and raising the matter in Par-liament.

However, sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said the shire had kept the minister “fully informed” of

the reasons behind the delays.“Council values the strong working

relationship it has with the Minister for Crime Prevention and has kept him fully informed on the diffi culties being encountered in progressing the [CCTV camera] project,” he said.

“Indeed, it was believed that the min-ister fully understood and appreciated the extensive efforts council was mak-ing and the ground breaking work being done by shire offi cers in resolving the technical and legal issues involved.”

SNOW White and the Seven Dwarfs paid a surprise visit to Environment Minister Greg Hunt’s offi ce in Hastings last week on behalf of Victoria’s animal emblem, the endangered Leadbeater’s, or fairy possum.

Dressed in character they delivered a 4000-signature petition signed by peo-ple across Australia which they hope will convince Mr Hunt to help the fairy possum live happily ever after.

Leadbeater’s possum, commonly known as the fairy possum, was named after John Leadbeater, the then taxider-mist at Museum Victoria.

“In the fairy tale, Snow White’s life is spared by the hunter who chooses to release her into the forest rather than commit her to certain death,” Wilder-ness Society community campaigner Kevi Sanyu said.

“In this fairytale, Mr Hunt can choose to remove logging and save the fairy possum from extinction.”

The tiny marsupial is close to the edge with fewer than 1500 remaining in the wild. If immediate action is not taken to suspend logging and protect the possum’s habitat, it is at grave risk of being lost forever, the society says.

“After decades of overlogging, this tiny animal has fl ed to fragmented pockets of its forest home which re now subject to intensive logging leav-ing very little room for the animal to call home.

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are sure Mr Hunt does not want to re-membered as the environment minister who allowed the fairy possum to head towards extinction on his watch. He must use his federal powers and step in to protect the possum by suspending

logging in its forests.“Snow White and the Seven

Dwarfs’ petition shows that it is not only the Victorian public, but people right across Australia, who want to see the suspension of logging in fairy possum habitat, and provide a happy-ever-after ending for this fairy tale.”

Mr Hunt said on Monday that the federal government was concerned by reports that Leadbeater’s possum was at risk. He said he was committed to

its protection and recovery.“Last week I appointed Australia’s

fi rst Threatened Species Commission-er, Gregory Andrews, who will bring a new national focus to the conserva-tion efforts for Australia’s endangered native fl ora and fauna.

“As one of his fi rst actions, the commissioner will develop a priority action plan to prevent extinctions and halt the decline of Australia’s most threatened species.”

Mr Hunt said the Threatened Species Scientifi c Committee was re-assessing the listing status of the possum under environmental laws to determine if its status should change from endangered to critically-endan-gered.

He said the federal government was working with the state government towards fi nalising the plan under national environmental law.

Snow White plays for a possumSnow White plays for a possum Call for shire to Call for shire to not sell landnot sell landBALNARRING residents are pres-suring Mornington Peninsula Shire to retain four blocks of land for public use.Signatures are being collected on a petition and letters have been sent to all councillors calling for the shire to withdraw “all previous decisions to re-zone the site and sell-off part of the land for commercial use”.The four blocks - zoned for public use - at 3051-3053 Frankston-Flinders Rd and 6-8 Civic Court, Balnarring. “The letter is part of an ongoing campaign by the BVC to demonstrate to council the strength of support in the local community for the draft master plan and its call to retain all four blocks of land,” Balnarring Village Common president Bronwyn Dick said."The community is clearly united in its call for quality open space in the heart of Balnarring, which will not only provide a hub for numerous activities, it will also encourage inter-action and engagement for everyone.“That so many groups, organisations and businesses have come together over this issue is proof of the shared vision that open space must be re-tained for community use.”Ms Dick said keeping the four “com-pliments the shire’s vision, mission and values statement”.“Importantly, the consultative work undertaken so far by council and the local community has created a draft master plan for the precinct that decidedly recognises the potential for use of the space.”Details: www.balnarringvillagecom-mon.com.au/support-for-open-space

THE Victorian Electoral Com-mission is urging “prospective candidates” for the Red Hill Ward election “to act quickly in lodging their nomination to ensure they don’t miss out”.

While three candidates have publicly stated their intention to seek election to Mornington Pen-insula Shire observers believe their ranks will be swelled just before nominations close at mid-day on Tuesday 22 July.

Preferences are likely to be crucial in the election being held to fi ll the vacancy created by the May resignation of Cr Frank Mar-tin.

The only people to indicate publicly at this stage that they in-tend to stand are Peter Holloway, Joe Lenzo and Mark Francett.

Nominations open Thursday 17 July.

“Anyone interested in repre-senting their local community is encouraged to nominate,” return-ing offi cer Julie Allan said.

Polly want a cameraPolly want a cameraPLASTIC ties around the new CCTV wiring in High St seem irresistible to little corellas. Dur-ing last week’s camera launch the noisy show offs were keen to bite the ties (often used as a bird deterrent), hang on to them and even grab them with their talons. When little corellas play, they become very noisy. They have conversa-tions with each other, fl y around and screech, and hang upside-down by their feet or beaks. They like living in Hastings, too, and may be responsible for seeing off the seagulls.

TYABB girl Bianca Chatfi eld led her team, the Melbourne Vixens, to a win over the Queensland Firebirds in the ANZ Netball Championship grand fi nal.

Chatfi eld, who grew up in Tyabb and attended Flinders College, sees her next challenge as playing for Australia in the coming Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

She has been named joint vice-captain of the Diamonds.

Chatfi eld plays goal defence and has partici-pated in 230 national league games in the former Commonwealth Bank Trophy and the existing trans-Tasman competition.

She is the only player left from the Vixens’ foundation team of 2008 and was a member of the 2009 championship-winning team.

The Firebirds beat the Vixens in Round 3 this year (48-47) but the Vixens had their revenge in Round 6, winning 50-38. They also won the major semi-fi nal 52-47.

In the grand fi nal, the Vixens won 53-42.A crowd of 9345 watched the netball grand

fi nal at Hisense Arena, which compares favour-ably with the 9059 crowd watching the GWS Giants defeat Carlton at Spotless Stadium in Sydney on the same day.

THE increasing use of motorised scooters in Hastings has prompted Mornington Peninsula Shire to educate their drivers about safety issues.

A scooter education forum in on Monday 21 July will provide information on road rules for scooter users, scooter safety; selecting the right scooter; a recharge scheme; safe paths of travel; when to choose a scooter; and, advice for older drivers.

"As a scooter user I didn't have any training except for trial and error, plenty of those. So am really looking forward to this opportunity to learn how better to use it safely and to best

advantage around our town,” shire “scooter ambassador” Fran Henke said.

Cr David Garnock said a “mobility map” would show the safest and most appropriate paths for scooter users.

Rosebud already has a mobility map and one is being developed for Somerville, with a planning day on Wednesday 30 July at St John’s Retirement Village.

The Hastings Scooter Education Forum, 10am–12.30pm Monday 21 July at Hastings Community Health Centre, 185 High St, Hast-ings. Lunch provided.

IMAGINE the sense of anticipation: you are sitting at the starting line in a 12ft speedboat with a 572 cubic inch Chevy V8 churning out 1040 horsepower on alcohol fuel and generating 900ft/lbs of torque …

Drop the throttle and you are away – very quickly – from idle to 100kmh in around 1.7 seconds with 2Gs of thrust and pulling up to 6Gs in the turns.

That’s the sort of over-the-top experience jet fi ghter pilots must feel. And it’s the sensation that is driving Hastings couple Greg and Dorinda Mercier to success in the catch-me-if-you-can world of V8 super boat racing.

The couple, who have a sky-light and roof-window business in Somerville, have just shipped their aluminium jet boat over to the US to compete in the jet boat world series in August.

The couple will fl y with six crew-members to St Louis next week to race “a select crew of nutcases” who have made the sport their life.

They will challenge the best from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US at jet sprints at Poplar Bluff, St Louis and Lebanon, Oregon.

The races are time trials with one boat at a time skimming over a tricky course of varying lengths. Numbers on a sheet determine the rotation for the round. “It’s pretty exciting,” said Dorinda, who admitted the Kiwis

Fast and furious: Greg and Dorinda Mercier race at the Round Mountain track on the Gold Coast two weeks ago and, above, holding their 2012 National Unlimited Championship trophies.

Jetting off for on-water race thrillsJetting off for on-water race thrills

had the edge in racing know-how and engine design, having started the sport three decades ago.

The couple fi rst enjoyed jet boat racing while holidaying in Albury in 2000. They would join the crowds and thrill to the spectacle from early morn-ing. “I said, ‘We’ve gotta do that’,” Greg recalled.

Racing is often over man-made

tracks or carved into creek beds or channels by grader, with one just over Western Port Bay at Corinella.

It is very costly, too, with Greg say-ing the cost of his boat, new engine computer machined out of a solid block of aluminium, and racing ex-penses has “six numbers in it and not fi ve”. You can translate that to around $250,000.

He and Dorinda have had great suc-cess over the years, winning the 2012 National Unlimited Championships at Temora NSW and fi nishing high up in races at Hervey Bay, Gold Coast and Tweed Heads before and after.

“You don’t win much except brag-ging rights, though,” Greg admitted.

They are looking forward to racing the Americans who hosted their last

world series in 2000. Boats will race twice over two days and then go into the qualifi ers, making it a “last man standing affair”.

Dorinda, who navigates for her husband, said: Yes, it’s all pretty exciting. Hopefully we will bring back something shiny.”

MORE than feathers are being ruffl ed among bird breeders following allega-tions of mistreatment of birds offered for sale last month at Skye.

Paris Yves has complained to the RSPCA and Department of Environ-ment and Primary Industries about the cruel treatment of parrots being dis-played in small, inadequate boxes.

A long time campaigner against mis-treatment of birds either kept as pets of for breeding, Ms Yves, of Mt Eliza, says she has been bullied since going public with her latest complaints.

The bird “sale and expo” at the Western Port Highway headquarters of Dogs Victoria was run by the Morning-ton Peninsula Avicultural Society on Sunday 25 May.

The society’s president, David Ren-shaw, did not want to comment on the allegations by Ms Yves without fi rst discussing it with the society’s com-mittee.

“I’m not prepared to give you a com-ment without prior notice,” he said.

He said the matter had been placed in the hands of a solicitor.

Mr Renshaw said all bird sales were run under a code of practice, which was “scrutinised by scrutineers”.

Photographs taken by Ms Yves at the bird sale show a large sign stating a code of practice administered by the Victorian Avicultural Council.

However, Ms Yves said it was un-satisfactory to have the VAC “policing themselves”.

“It is inexcusable that most birds - ex-cept the Gouldian fi nches in the lovely great aviary - were displayed in such an unethical way,” she said.

“It was truly like walking through the back streets of an Indian market.

“I am amid a public campaign so that Australians can fi nally discover the truth about companion bird abuse and lack of welfare and lack of laws. There

is no going back now.”Ms Yves’s emails to and discussions

with breeders had come down to se-mantics, with some breeders claiming birds kept for breeding purposes were not companion birds. She says the law does not differentiate between the terms.

A cockatoo breeder, “who also admit-ted that there are welfare problems at

bird sales”, referred to birds at the sale as aviary birds and not pet birds.

“There is legally no difference. The DEPI welfare codes clearly includes all captive/caged birds,” Ms Yves said.

“I don’t think you will get a response from the market organisers - they are in damage control. As they have breached all codes there is nothing positive they can say, the damage is done.

“The VAC failed terribly and has lost all credibility, which is why I am re-ceiving bullying and rude emails.”

Letters published in this month’s edi-tion of Talking Birds magazine appear to confi rm Ms Yves’s complaints.

An anonymous letter writer from South Australia admits the bird boxes “could have been a bit bigger” but goes on to say small boxes are safer for birds and that the birds “may be distressed, but from other noises and movement, not because they are ill”.

“Yes, there are some who break the rules, which is then used against oth-ers because one bad apple corrupts the rest,” the letter states.

A second letter by J Milosevic (via email) says there is no doubt about Ms Yves’s good intentions and then refers to guidelines “which, unfortunately, were ignored in the case of the photos in her email”.

“Guidelines and rules exist but are often ignored and I found it rather iron-ic that the sale where the women took the photos in her email had a large ban-ner setting out the rules prominently displayed … what is the point of words on that banner when the rules were not enforced at that event?

“If that had been done she would have had no ammunition which could be used to attack sales, demanding that they be banned.

“Well, now it has happened and I hope that you keep track of what the state bodies do from now on about run-ning sales properly, because it is obvi-ous that at least one, the Victorian mob, has lost the plot.”

VISITING Cape Schanck can be exhilarating. Steep cliffs drop down to rocky shores battered by big waves. The track leading to Bushrangers Bay is like going through a tunnel of tea tree until it opens on one side the grassy paddocks of the historic Barragunda grazing property.

Another track leads to a boardwalk down to Pulpit Rock, the cape’s furthermost point into Bass Strait. Explorer Matthew Flinders in the early 1800s described its appearance from the sea as resembling a ship under sail.

The annual nesting site of white-bel-lied sea eagles, the rock drew plenty of attention but not always to those not overly interested in the welfare of wildlife.

In February 1888 the second of two groups of hunters managed to shoot the birds, leaving their nest to slowly crumble into the sea. That same decade a mutton bird rookery on the slopes of the cape was wiped out by foxes.

Seemingly always a drawcard since the earliest settlement of Europeans on the Mornington Peninsula, the cape and surrounding areas is the subject of Hastings-based historian Ruth Gooch’s latest book: “The wildest bit along the coast”.

The cape area was also well known and utilised by Aborigines and a cave at the cliff base there is said to be the home of the deity, Punjil.

The beaches leading to the cape and its towering cliffs drew the attention of artists, while its treacherous seas and offshore reefs led to the loss of many ships before the government of the day commissioned the building of

a lighthouse.Illustrated with drawings and photo-

graphs, the book traces the ups and downs of farming in and around Cape Schanck, giving insights into the so-cial mores of the day and changes in

attitudes, particularly to the environ-ment, between then and now.

A librarian who lists her interests as literature, philosophy, classical astrology, Gooch has previously warned against the subjective nature of written and oral histories, knowing that the truth usually lies somewhere between.

In her latest book, she gives readers a glimpse into her own past, as with an account of her father making butter by stirring a bucket of cream with a broomstick.

But it is her range of references to the writing of the early settlers, their visitors and government offi cials that creates pictures of early Cape Schanck for her readers.

As with her previous books, Seal Rocks and Frontier French Island, Gooch presents and interprets settlers’ and historians’ accounts of the life of Aborigines on the peninsula and beyond.

And, as with those books she does not shy away from questioning the accepted version of what occurred between settlers and Aborigines.

Repeated in her Cape Schanck book, although in a much more condensed version, are accounts of Aboriginal women being not always unhappy when “taken” by sealers.

In the book about the cape Gooch raises doubts about Aboriginal “fi re-stick farming”, maintaining that fi re was most often used to fl ush animals from the scrub so they could be more easily killed for food.

She looks at the number of lightning-induced fi res and recounts

instances where fi re – or more particu-larly its accompanying smoke - was used to signal the presence of bands of Aborigines. However, the instances she gives are not merely small fi res, but rather fi res with nearly two kilo-metre fronts left to burn of their own accord.

Her insights into the diet of pen-insula Aborigines in the mid-1800s – whose numbers she places at about 300 with 750,000 Aborigines nation-ally – comes from written accounts of their hunting methods and analysis of middens.

Gooch quotes settlers as saying pos-sums were the main source of meat, with their skins being used by the Aborigines to make rugs. Accounts are given of the fi ne workmanship in the stitching of the 80-120 possum skins required for each rug.

Apparently the harvesting of pos-sums by Aborigines had had little effect on their population over thou-sands of years.

However, other abundant species which also provided food sources for the Aborigines were soon decimated after the arrival of Europeans, includ-ing emus, bush turkeys, Cape Barren geese and dingoes.

Gooch covers the escape of convicts from Tasmania which led to the naming of Bushrangers Bay as well as describing duels and the successes and failures of farming various breeds of sheep and cattle.

AN Australian Football Junior Development Centre will be based at BlueScope Steel’s Hastings facility.

The Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League and BlueScope Steel announced the partnership last week.

It comes after an intensive search for a base where players and coaches from all MPJFL clubs could refi ne and develop their skills.

The Hastings facility will suit play-

ers of all ages. It has a 170m long by 125m wide fully irrigated footy oval, change rooms, pavilion, warm-up areas and learning centre.

MPJFL president Andrew Souter said the centre would be the fi rst of its kind in the region that can be used year-round. He thanked Hastings MP Neale Burgess for his assistance.

“BlueScope Steel sees this partner-ship with the MPJFL as an integral

part of our community program which will have a long-term benefi t for chil-dren in our region,” Bluescope Steel’s Hastings manager Bob Pullein said.

The MPJFL will move its adminis-tration offi ces to the Hastings Com-munity Hub this month. The new $3.4 million facility will include meeting rooms, exercise area, administrative support, staff training and a range of community programs.

In other junior football news, the Bendigo Bank MPJFL fi nals series will be held for the fi rst time at Red Hill with the support of the Balnarring Junior Football Club and the Red Hill Junior and Senior football clubs.

With big crowds expected, the four week fi nals series will provide a signifi cant spinoff for Red Hill businesses and the local community, organisers say.

A 28-year-old Hastings man is facing multiple charges including drug dealing, possessing weapons and handling stolen goods after alleg-edly being caught with a traffi cable amount of methamphetamines early last Sunday morning.

Hastings uniformed police pulled over a vehi-cle driven by the man in centre of town about 4.30am and allegedly found him in possession of 7 grams of “ice”.

Later in the morning, police conducted a search of the man’s residence where they discovered weapons and a large number of items suspected of having been stolen.

The man was released on bail to face Frankston Magistrates Court at a later date.

Police said the arrest follows a “spate” of ice seizures in Hastings and surrounding areas over recent months, sparking growing concerns of major epidemic of ice use.

“It’s almost a daily occurance now, although Sunday’s arrest involved a larger amount than usual,” Detective Leading Senior Constable Nick Sweetman of Hastings crime investigation unit said. “It’s a real scourge for our town and it’s clearly getting worse. We’d ask members of the public to help us clean up this growing problem by reporting any suspicious activity to police.”

Arrest over sex attacksArrest over sex attacksA 20-year-old Langwarrin man has been arrested and charged over a spate of alleged sex attacks targeting lone women around shopping centre car parks in Langwarrin and Frankston.

Frankston sexual offences and child abuse in-vestigation team detectives charged the man with 24 offences relating to nine separate incidents, seven of which alleged occurred in late June.

Zane Wittkowski was charged with multiple counts of indecent assault, driving while disquali-fi ed, behaving in an indecent manner and pos-sessing cannabis.

New imam New imam at mosqueat mosqueSYED Wadood Janud has been appointed imam at the Ahmadiyya Muslim community’s mosque in Langwarrin.

Mr Janud, the fi rst Australian Ah-madiyya missionary, completed his primary and secondary schooling in Adelaide before attaining his degree in Islamic theology and comparative religions in Canada.

The seven-year course at the Ah-madiyya Institute of Islamic Studies, in Maple, Canada, was followed by six months as an imam of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Liberia.

Mr Janud sees his main role at the Ahmadiyya Centre Melbourne in Langwarrin (formally known as Bait-ul-Salam or House of Peace) as being “to lead prayers and train members in religious matters, but I would also work for interfaith harmony and to build bridges between communities”.

“My life is devoted to the cause of peace, harmony and love for all, hatred for none, and my doors will always be open to the community members for any help and advice.”

The president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria, Javed Safdar Choudhary, said the appoint-ment of the new imam at Langwarrin “dawns a new era in our efforts to work closely on community relations and make bridges”.

Al Islam, the “offi cial” website of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, describes the community as “the lead-ing Islamic organisation to categori-cally reject terrorism in any form”

with its then leader, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, more than a century ago de-claring “that an aggressive ‘jihad by the sword’ has no place in Islam”.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Com-munity’s headquarters are in the

United Kingdom and, according to the website, it has built more than 15,000 mosques, more than 500 schools, and more than 30 hospitals and translated the Quran into more than 70 lan-guages.

Building bridges: Syed Wadood Janud, the new imam at the Ahmadiyya Muslim community’s mosque in Langwarrin wants to “build bridges” with communities.

Continued from Page 1The state government has seized on

another comment by Ms Hutchins in the article that “Labor will direct In-frastructure Victoria to conduct a com-prehensive and transparent cost-bene-fi t analysis to test Bay West against all other possible siting alternatives”.

The Minister for Ports, David Hodg-ett, yesterday called on Ms Hutchins to “come clean with the people of Western Port and Phillip Island”, claiming that “the article revealed that a Labor gov-ernment would still consider establish-ing the Port of Hastings as Victoria’s second international container port”.

In the article, the former head of the Port of Melbourne Corporation, Ste-phen Bradford, said that, while a con-tainer port between Geelong and Wer-ribee would be well connected to road and rail, the need to widen Port Phillip Heads could have “potentially cata-strophic environmental consequences” Dredging a channel to the bay’s west would be a “far greater technical chal-lenge” than dredging Western Port.

Mr Hosking, a fi tter and turner who worked at BlueScope, said automation at Hastings would limit job opportuni-ties. The port’s expansion potential was also a problem, he siad, with four ship-ping bays needed at the start, but with future demand dictating the need for another four within the next 10 years.

“It will always remain a bulk port, but containers are where the jobs are, and I don’t want to see jobs go from here [to Bay West].”

Mr Hosking said BlueScope needed to be involved. “If they ramp up their im-ports and exports it wouldn’t be possible to have bulk goods and containers here.”

Labor divide over siting of port

MORNINGTON Peninsula residents and businesses are no closer to fi nd-ing out when or how they will be con-nected to the National Broadband Net-work, despite high-level visits to the region last week by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull and parlia-mentary secretary for communications Paul Fletcher.

Mr Turnbull, who spent the day in Frankston on Wednesday at the invita-tion of federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson to inspect progress on the rollout of the NBN, said a precise time-table for the peninsula was still being assessed but that the region had been identifi ed as a top Coalition priority.

The type of technology to be used to provide broadband services to the pen-insula was also yet to be determined, Mr Turnbull said, adding that “a range of options” would be explored.

Mr Turnbull said NBN Co, the com-pany overseeing the national broad-band network, had advised the govern-ment that to deliver services sooner and a lower cost to both taxpayers and consumers, a “multi-technology mix” would need to be used.

“This will match the right technology to the right location and make use of existing networks where possible to de-liver very fast broadband,” he said. For the peninsula, the “technology mix” is expected to include some fi bre, existing copper networks, satellite and wi-fi .

Mr Turnbull visited a site in Frankston South where contractors are laying fi bre optic cables that will see about 8000 homes and businesses con-

nected to the high-speed broadband network by the end of the year.

The rollout, covering an area of Frankston South and Karingal, is Frankston’s fi rst under the Coalition government’s “fi bre to the node” mod-el, which replaces the former Labor government’s plan to connect homes directly to the NBN network.

As with the peninsula, it is still un-known when the rest of Frankston, including the city centre, will be con-nected to the NBN network. However, Mr Turnbull said it would be far sooner – and cheaper – than would have been the case under the Labor plan.

He said the Coalition government was “determined” to see the NBN rolled out fi rst to areas most in need, such as the Frankston and peninsula region, which has been dogged by poor internet ac-cess and mobile phone coverage.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt has written the minister on a number of occasions this year seeking clarity on plans to connect the Western Port and peninsu-la region to high-speed broadband but a precise timetable is yet to emerge.

In the meantime, Mr Hunt has been seeking funding under the federal gov-ernment’s $100 million Mobile Black Spot program to address chronic mobile phone coverage issues in the region.

It is hoped upgrades to the mobile network will also enable better inter-net access through wi-fi connectivity.

Coinciding with Mr Turnbull’s visit to Frankston, Mr Fletcher attended a roundtable in the Flinders electorate at the invitation Mr Hunt to discuss mo-bile coverage issues.

The meeting was attended by busi-ness, state, council and community representatives from across the elec-

Where’s our NBN, Mr Turnbull?Where’s our NBN, Mr Turnbull?

torate who outlined problems plaguing the region and argued for substantial funding for the region under the Mo-bile Black Spot program. The program aims to improve mobile coverage along major transport routes, in small communities and locations prone to natural disasters, as well as areas ex-periencing “unique” mobile coverage problems such as the peninsula during holiday periods.

“Lives can depend on accessing mo-bile phone networks in emergencies, so expanding mobile phone coverage has clear benefi ts to public safety – as well as to the business capacity of re-gional communities,” Mr Hunt said.

“Many parts of the Flinders elector-

ate are popular tourist destinations, so improving mobile phone networks in these areas would have a major impact for residents and visitors.”

“I hope Mr Fletcher will consider the input from those who attended [last week’s roundtable], along with sub-missions from the broader community when implementing the Mobile Black Spot program.”The government expects to start a competitive selection process for the Mobile Black Spot program in the second half 2014, with a view to announcing the locations selected for funding in the fi rst half of 2015.

The fi rst base stations funded under this programme are expected to begin roll out in the second half of 2015.

AT the end of a meandering driveway, fl anked by native trees and shrubs, this stunning residence enjoys absolute privacy and a sense of serenity that will make you feel a world away. This visually intriguing home spreads out over 483 square metres (52 square) with a four-car garage centered between two distinct living zones. A virtually self-contained area in the south wing boasts a rumpus room with kitchen facilities and a full offi ce also with a kitchen, bar and a powder room. A full length verandah connects to the remainder of the home as you enter into the dazzling family room. The spectacular kitchen has a massive island bench with stone benchtops and a full complement of stainless-steel appliances include a dishwasher, wall and convection ovens, plus a gas cooktop. The kitchen overlooks a casual meals area, perfectly orientated to take in a view of the pool area from the charming bay window, and a generous living space. The east wing begins with a calming rock garden and water feature acting as the backdrop to a formal dining area, and take a moment to imagine the memorable cocktail parties that could take place in the formal lounge with a magnifi cent open-fi re place creating the ultimate ambience. Another powder room adjoins a smaller, separate study with the master bedroom - complete with twin walk-in robes and ensuite with spa bath - providing the fi nal stop to this part of the home. The west wing houses four more bedrooms and a fourth bathroom, and given the already impressive family room and lounge that would serve adults very nicely, this section has the perfect set-up for children and teenagers with a fi rst class home theatre room. Already overwhelmed with features, there is still a component to the property that cannot be faulted. The beautiful pool area merges with the tree-line in an almost “horizon” effect and includes a spa bath just a few steps from a lovely alfresco lounge. A full-size, mod-grass tennis court is set further down the property, and branching off from the driveway is a double carport and a workshed for storing the work vehicles necessary to maintain the sprawling 1.6 hectare block.

OLD world living never looked so attractive than this beautiful mid-20th century clinker brick home, found along Cliff Road in sought after Frankston South. With a sense of class and refi nement, the property is surrounded by enchanting old world gardens on a 1348 square metre block. The interior has an eye-catching blend of period elegance and modern style, with a superb lounge and dining area featuring a marble framed open fi re place, exquisite Wainscot wall panels and English-style troweled ceilings. In the blackwood timber kitchen are quality appliances by Asko and a stainless-steel stove. There is also an adjoining casual meals area. The main bedroom is also on this downstairs level and enjoys a re-modelled bathroom. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, a separate study and a second bathroom. The private grounds have spacious lawn areas and established trees provide plenty of shade. Neat brick paths lead down to a barbecue and pool area that has a surrounding timber deck, and the fi nal glorious touch is the property’s original residence, which is still in use as a guest house with living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

Compiled by Melissa McCulloughOWING to the inclement weather, the meeting to establish a gun club at Somerville, to have been held on Tues-day evening last, was postponed. It will now be held on Monday evening next at the Hotel Somerville.

***AT the meeting of the Mornington shire council held on Thursday, tenders for construction of 3 1/2 miles of the Point Nepean road were considered, and that of Messrs Allnutt and Baker, £4255 2s, was accepted. The council’s day man, Mr Cexhell, was appointed clerk of works.

***THERE has been paid into the taxation offi ce as duty in respect of the estate of John Cleeland, the sum of £91,034. This represents duty on £89,536 realty and £1498 personally left by deceased.

***AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council, Cr Keast moved, according to notice, that a pound be established at Somerville. Cr Macray seconded the motion proforma, but it was ultimately decided that Crs Keast and Murray be a committee to go into the matter, and report at next meeting.

***IT is announced by cable that Miss Dorothea Wollaston, third daughter of Sir Harry Wollason, formerly Comp-troller-General of Customs in Austral-ia, was married this week to M. Georg-es Ferrand, a Frenchman, engaged in commercial matters. The ceremony took place in the Church of Our Lady

of Victoria, at Kensington. Captain R. M. Collins and other Australians were among the guests.

***THE quarterly meeting of the Frankston Methodist Circuit was held at Lang-warrin on the 1st inst. the minister (the Rev R. Jackson) presiding. A slight increase of membership was reported, and the fi nances were well maintained, a small credit balance showing. Regret was expressed at the enforced absence of the senior circuit steward, Mr A. E. Gault, through illness, and a resolution passed expressive of regret at his seri-ous illness and thanks for past lengthy and untiring services.

***THE following resolution was also passed, and a copy ordered to be sent to the State Premier, “That this quarterly meetings responsibility is to express its opinion that the proposal to introduce into the State School curriculum the art of boxing amongst boys is a step in the wrong direction, and will have the ef-fect of lowering the moral tone of the boys in particular and the community in general; and further, that the school curriculum is suffi ciently full as at pre-sent constituted therefore we express the hope that the proposal be not further considered, nor any attempt made to carry it into effect.” A deal of business of a routine character was transacted, after which a splendid tea was partaken of, provided by the ladies of Langwar-rin church, for which hearty thanks was given. The remainder of the evening was spent in a meeting of a devotional character, and was much enjoyed by those present.

***

DESPITE the somewhat inclement weather, the annual ball in connection with the lodge, held on Wednesday evening, was an unqualifi ed success. There was a splendid attendance, the dancing spade being taxed to the ut-most, while a good number of specta-tors monopolised the stage. Gabriel’s band provided splendid music, and Mr Lee Devlin, as M.C., kept things going

with a swing till the wee sma’ hours. During an interval a tasty supper was served, and in this direction also there was nothing left to be desired. Mr Moore, who had charge of this depart-ment, is to be complimented for the excellent manner in which the catering was done. The ball committee

(Secretary H. Simcock, P.G., A. Sage, and V.G., F. Benson) worked hard to ensure the success of the lodge’s an-nual function, and the result of their ef-forts was very apparent on Wednesday evening. All the arrangements for the successful carrying out of the ball were complete in every detail, there being nothing wanting that could add to the enjoyableness of the evening.

Mr John Dyke rendered valuable assistance to the committee. A special word of praise is due to Mrs G. Shep-herd, for the beautiful way in which she carried out the decorations of the hall. The scheme was carried out with paper carnations, the colors of the offi cers of the lodge predominating, and the effect was charming. The best thanks of the lodge are due this lady for her work in this direction.

***TO THE EDITOR

Sir, will you kindly grant me space once more in your valuable paper to reply to the letter written by “One who likes Justice.” It is with some regret I write again, for fear I should create the idea that I look upon the Hastings football team as a rough lot as a whole. I have known some of them for many years, and I am pleased to meet and shake hands with them either on their ground or ours.

It was the wholesale charge that “One who likes Justice” made against the fairness of the Somerville team in his fi rst letter that 1 took exception to. If he has watched them play he must know that there are as fair footballers in the Somerville team as ever kicked a ball, and when he said the team played the man and not the ball and could not take

a beating-well, it was that “that rose the dander of McCarty.” He says the Somerville player who got hit did not get as much as he deserved. I certainly don’t know what he did, so I do not know what he deserves. I have heard several tales of what he did, but he says he did nothing unfair. The umpire re-ported him, I believe, for rough play. I only quoted the incident in my letter to show-

1st: That the umpire was no’ the fair-nst ever on the Peninsula; and

2nd: That some of the Hastings play-ers were not so gentle and downhearted as “One who like Justice” would like the general public to believe. He also says “ if the delegates look to the safety of other players they will disqualify the Somerville player for life. I think this is a point for us to discuss, as I think the gentlemen who give their time as delegates are quite capable of carry-ing on the business of the association without any advice from us. He says I must look through the sixteenth part of an eye, and shut the other one.

Well, that is a very small portion and I think even that is on a par with his common sense, far be it for me or any-one else to say through these columns when and where he was heard ealling out to “rough them up,” and then has not got sense enough to let us know who he is. I do not intend to write again on this subject, as I have had my say and am content to let the matter drop.

Speech Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease patientsJeanette’s journey with LSVT LOUD

Jeanette is an active and dynamic 67 year old lady who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 29 years ago when she was 38 years old. She successfully ran her own Travel Agency business for 28 years and is still active in the community. More recently Jeanette’s family and

when she spoke, even though she felt she was speaking loudly enough.

Decreased volume and voice issues affects 70-90% of people with Parkinson’s. Upon liaising with St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital (SJGFRH) Speech Pathologists, Jeanette undertook the LSVT -LOUD (Lee Silverman Voice Therapy) Program to help improve her voice and communication. This program is considered the gold standard in voice therapy for individuals with Parkinson’s and can only be offered

LSVT as an outpatient program.

Jeanette describes the program as “excellent and it made a huge difference to my ability to communicate”. Family and friends have all commented on the positive change, with her husband being especially happy. Jeanette reports that prior to doing LSVT her husband was becoming very frustrated and spent most of his time asking her to repeat herself. Now they communicate with ease.

Jeanette reports that the best thing about the LSVT program was that “the Therapists were extremely friendly, helpful and understanding of the problem and took the time to build up

communicate on a long term basis”.

recommend the program to other individuals with PD commenting that “they would have nothing to lose and

communicate with others on a day to day basis – and most important of all – they would learn to THINK LOUD!”

Jeanette feels that PD is a disease which is greatly affected by attitude and encourages patients not to consider themselves as victims, but rather to seek ways and means of helping themselves and maintaining a positive attitude towards life is extremely important. She says “the LSVT program is excellent and is only one example of the many

facilities and programs available to patients with Parkinson’s Disease at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital. They encourage patients to learn to help themselves”.

Jeanette’s message to others is “Parkinson’s is only a word, not a

loud voice.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughIT’S just not true. No matter how much you claim that a rose by any other name is just as sweet, if they were called ‘Stinkweed’, nobody would buy them on Valentine’s Day. If Shakespeare had named his key teenage protagonists ‘Darren’ and ‘Pauline’ instead of the more ear pleasing ‘Romeo’ and ‘Juliet’, one of his greatest plays would have long been forgotten. Ditto ‘Rambo’ for ‘Roger’. It wouldn’t matter a jot that Sly Stallone had biceps like Christmas hams, no one’s going to believe that a guy called ‘Roger’ could be a one-man killing machine. It’s simply not cred-ible.

Right or wrong, names matter.For many people, The Clash hold a

dear place in their musical heart. But for all their success, by 1983 they were falling apart. This resulted in the sack-ing in Mick Jones who, aside from playing guitar, wrote a lot of the songs.

When it comes to bands, sacking your chief songwriter is rarely a recipe for enduring success.

Mick’s role was then replaced by, not one, but two guitarists. Nick Shep-pard was recruited from a band called The Cortinas. Nick, without doubt, is a strong rock and roll kind of name even if the name of his former band was weighed down by its links to affordable sedans.

Greg White, of no-fi xed previous band, was the second choice. But there was a problem. Bass player Paul Si-monon point blank refused to be in a band with someone called ‘Greg’.

It’s fair to say that the recruiting methods of bands would not be consid-

ered best practice. There are few com-panies that I know of who enforce a ‘no Greg’ policy. Indeed, it’s hard to imag-ine anyone missing out on a job simply because of his or her name.

That said, I’d probably have second thoughts about hiring someone called ‘Adolf’ or ‘Darth Vader’. Although if you go to the share fridge and fi nd a yoghurt labelled, ‘Property of Darth Vader’, chances are you’d think twice before swiping it.

The Clash would probably have wel-comed Darth Vader with open arms. Not that he was ever a contender.

The Artist Formerly Known as ‘Greg’ obligingly changed his name to ‘Vince’. Whether other names like ‘Adolf’ or ‘Darth’ were even consid-ered has never been revealed. It seems

a strange kind of compromise to force on anyone. But whilst calling yourself ‘Vince’ might get a gig in the world’s biggest punk band, it doesn’t help you write a decent song.

Without Mick Jones, The Clash suf-fered terribly. Releasing an album enti-tled Cut the Crap – which, had the band heeded their own advice, would have seen them release two sides of com-plete silence – it was perhaps inevitable that ‘The Clash’ should break up.

Greg/Vince then left the music indus-try to work as a mini-cab driver. Life is full of little ironies. He played guitar with a guy who was in a band called The Cortinas and ended up driving one. Luckily, both ‘Greg’ and ‘Vince’ are acceptable names within the mini-cab industry.

Some names get all the glory. For ex-ample, certain handles feature in songs all the time while others never even get a look in. ‘Cathy’ is a popular choice – Cathy’s Clown by The Everly Brothers and You Am I, not to mention Kathy’s Song by Simon and Garfunkel. Having a ‘Jane’ song in your repertoire seems almost mandatory - there’s Song For Jainie by Tim Buckley, Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground and Janie’s Got a Gun by Aerosmith. The Clash who, while objecting vociferously to ‘Greg’, had no problem at all with ‘Janie Jones’. Other repeat offend-ers include Valerie (The Monkees and Amy Winehouse/Mark Ronson) and, in a variety of forms, Sue (Wake Up Little Susie by the Everly Brothers and Runa-round Sue by Dion and the Belmonts).

The wind cries ‘Mary’ and it’s also a boat called the ‘Proud Mary’. Some names get all the attention.

Even slightly unusual names can of-ten be lauded in song. Jolene by Dolly Parton, Layla by Eric Clapton and Me and You and a Dog Named Boo by Lobo to name but a few. For crying out loud, even ‘Bo Diddley’ gets multiple mentions (most notably in the song Bo Diddley written by Bo Diddley and performed by – you guessed it – Bo Diddley). And while there may only be one song dedicated to the name ‘Eloise’ it’s an absolute cracker. Performed by Barry Ryan – a name that would have seem him barred from The Clash – the fi lm clip features Ryan on horseback riding along a windswept beach. It’s a pity for everyone that more video clips don’t feature singers on horseback.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no songs featuring the name ‘Stuart’ in the title. This is for the best. That’s despite the fact that my name neatly rhymes with ‘do it’, ‘threw it’ and, per-haps most handily of all, ‘knew it’.

Under no circumstances would I have been allowed to join The Clash. As for the name ‘Greg’, it has fi nally been rehabilitated. In the 1990s, Melbourne band TISM put out a song called Greg! The Stop Sign based on a grisly TAC commercial that caused me to give up driving entirely until 1997. The Clash could not fail to be moved. My only hope is that it gave the Artist Formerly known as Greg some comfort. He de-serves as much.

84 STATION ST SOMERVILLE Phone: 5977 5241

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

THE Groove Train has pulled into its new station at Frankston.

The new café, bar and restaurant opened its doors last month at the site of the former Ha’penny Bridge pub on the corner of Wells and Thompson St, near the Hoyts Cinema complex in Frankston city centre.

The Groove Train will bring its own distinctive family-friendly groove to Frankston after gaining a reputation for excellent service and top food and drink elsewhere with co-owner John Dimos keen to bring its city vibe to Frankston.

Founder Rocky Veneziano established the fi rst Groove Train in Richmond and there are now several Groove Train

restaurants throughout Victoria and Australia.

Make The Groove Train a stop for a tasty breakfast to start the day on the right track, a delicious lunchtime feed or evening time meal or drinks.

Local craft beers such as Mornington Brewery’s Pale Ale are available on tap to quench any thirst.

There are several promotional offers available via The Groove Train’s website including a Frankston special offering diners a free meal on their birthday if they join the Groove Club and present their club card.

See www.groovetrain.com.au for details or call 9783 6555.

Weekend Events 12 & 13 July

Hands up if you associated winter with sick kids. Hands up again if your kids always get sick over these school holidays! Here are some hints & tips from KidzAid Paediatric First Aid Training to help you navigate through the tissues, cough medicine, band-aids & tears.

Head InjuryBound to be bumps, bangs and knocks along the way. Remember if your baby/child has ANY loss of consciousness, they MUST be seen by a medical professional. If the child has a MILD head injury it is ok to let them sleep, remembering, ANY changes or concerns with your child, you will be straight off to the nearest medical centre or emergency depart-ment. Don’t be afraid to call 000 and seek their expert advice.

GastroenteritisUnfortunately if your child is hit with this highly contagious bug, they are out of bounds from socialising until 48-hours free from vomiting or diar-rhoea. With gastroenteritis, it is really important that you are on the look out for dehydration. Ensure your child has plenty of fl uids and instead of reaching for the cordials and fl at lem-onade, reach for an oral rehydration solution. Hydralyte which is scien-tifi cally formulated and safe for bubs under 12-months, contains the correct balance of electrolytes and glucose required for rapid rehydration.

Bronchiolitis, Croup and PneumoniaWhat you need to look out for and when to seek urgent medical as-sistance: • Increased breathing rate, indicat-

ing your child is not getting enough oxygen.• Colour changes, your child may appear to have a bluish tinge to their lips, mouth and fi ngernails, again indicative of lack of oxygen. The skin can also appear gray or pale.• Noisy breathing – Grunting may be heard when your child exhales. It’s the body’s attempt to try and keep air in the lungs.• Nasal-fl aring - Nostrils fl aring in paediatrics is indicating the child is working very hard at breathing. • Retractions / recession - ribs ‘suck-ing in’ when they are breathing is another way of trying to bring more air into their lungs.• Wheezing (whistling, musical sounds) - is indicating that your

child’s air passages are becoming nar-rower and smaller.• Tripod position – child will adopt this position to try and draw in as much air as possible to their lungs. • Observing your child’s behaviour and the level of consciousness is important.

FracturesHard to escape when it comes to children… Snow trips, skate parks, play centres and endless curiosity and an abundance of no fear! When in doubt, treat as a fracture. Immobilise and support the injured limb straight away. Elevate and get that little limb up, think outside the box and use whatever you can. Time to pull out the cold pack as this will

assist with pain and swelling. Reach for your medicine cabinet and give pain relief. Hold off from giving your child any food or fl uids at this stage, incase they require surgery. Off to the doctor, a X-ray is required.

Hand, foot and mouth diseaseThis is a viral infection predominately seen in children (under 10 years) and young adults. The viral infection is very common, easily spread but rarely causes complications. Signs and symptoms generally develop three to seven days after exposure to an infected person, the duration of the virus is usually seven to ten days.• Fever.• Tiredness.• Poor appetite.

• Complain of a sore throat.• Tiny blisters inside the mouth, including blisters around the tongue, palms, fi ngers, soles of the feet and the genital region. The small blisters are generally not itchy like the chick-enpox blisters.

Slapped CheekSlapped cheek is a fairly mild viral illness also called parvovirus B19. Its name comes about because of its most obvious symptom, a red rash that makes the child’s cheeks look like they have been slapped. Slapped cheek is spread through personal contact, including coughing and sneezing. Key points to remember include:• Initial symptoms such as the head-ache, fever, tummy upsets is the time when the parvovirus B19 can spread to others, making it hard to identify as these symptoms are common for a range of childhood illnesses.• Allowing the child to rest and fi ght the infection is the key management for Slapped Cheek.• As soon as the rash is visible on the child’s face, they are no longer infec-tious to others, so can therefore attend school / day care.

For more information on these or many other children’s health topics, visit www.kidzaid.com.au. If your child is unwell and you are unsure always seek the direct advice of your OWN medical practitioner or dial 000 and seek medical assistance im-mediately. While prepared by experi-enced and qualifi ed health profession-als, the above should be considered as opinion and general advice only.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt PINES was brought back to earth with a thud after Frankston YCW strangled them for three of the four quarters to record a 57-point victory 2.9 (21) to 11.12 (78).

It was the only Peninsula League game played on Saturday.

Mornington and Mt Eliza and Chelsea and Edithvale played on Sunday.

The remaining two games will be played next Saturday to conclude yet another split round.

We are all very well aware that the strength of the Stonecats is the defensive unit, led by Byron and Anthony Barry.

On Saturday at Eric Bell Reserve, the visitors restricted the home side to fi ve behinds in the fi rst half.

Pines kicked their only two goals in the third quarter, courtesy of Chris Guganovic and Guy Hendry.

Frankston YCW excitement machine Kyle Hutchison kicked more goals himself than the opposition. He fi nished with three majors.

Anthony Barry found himself off the leash and forward of centre on a number of occasions, fi nishing with two goals while Ben Tellis also kicked multiple goals.

Ash Eames played his best game for the season and seems to be well

over his hamstring tear while Ryley Hodson and Casey Radford were outstanding.

Joel Brunn has been superb for the Pythons this season and was again on Saturday, while Beau Hendry and Shaun White worked really hard.

It was the fi rst game the Pythons have lost since coach Steve Ryan announced he was resigning from the position.

The Pythons are already actively looking for replacements and some interesting conversations have already taken place.

It is believed that two of Pines’ opponents on Saturday are on their priority list – the Barry cousins, Byron and Anthony.

The Barrys were close to leaving last season, offered big deals to go elsewhere and coach.

Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers is doing a wonderful job with the team and he has them playing inspired football.

Whilst it is believed there were teething problems initially, the Stonecats are now purring.

Mathers said it was always going to take time for the list to get used to new ways of doing things.

“We haven’t changed things too much. It’s been a winning formula but we have just tinkered,” Mathers said.

“We’ve given some players some

new roles and responsibilities and they seem to be enjoying the change.”

The general consensus is that the change of coach has brought some new life into the club.

For the Stonecats, it’s certainly making a difference.

For the opposition, it’s something they wouldn’t want to be hearing.

Inaccuracy in front of goal cost Edithvale-Aspendale a big win against neighbour Chelsea.

The Eagles were always going to win the clash, however, it should have made a lot more from its 34 scoring shots to 32.

Edithvale’s Matt Clark was clearly the best player on the ground, really making a statement after 18 months away from the game.

The Gulls, who were never in the contest, were best served by Fia Tootoo. The Gulls would have lost by more than 72 points if he wasn’t on the park.

The fi nal score was 14.20 (104) to 5.2 (32).

In the other Sunday game, Mornington turned the tables on Mt Eliza, smashing the home side 9.7 (61) to 2.13 (25).

The Doggies were beaten by the Redlegs in the corresponding game in round one, however, were well in control on Sunday at Emil Masden Reserve.

Melee a distasteful sceneMelee a distasteful sceneOFFICIALS from Red Hill and Hastings Football Clubs need to have a good look at themselves after an on-fi eld incident at half time on Saturday.

A couple of small fi ghts broke out just before the half time siren, before every player got involved once the siren had gone.

There were a couple of disturbing things to be seen during these seven minutes of high testosterone and emotion.

The fi rst was that the trainers should not have gone anywhere near the melee. However, there were some white shirts sticking their noses into a place where they shouldn’t have been.

Then, as the players had broken away and were happy to head back to the change rooms, leading offi cials from each club started to hurl abuse at one another as they walked from the

fi eld, right in front of spectators.Thankfully, the situation didn’t escalate and

they all shared a sausage roll and cold beverage during the half time break.

However, club people in positions of power should lead by example and leave what happens on the fi eld, on the fi eld.

Murray a few weeks awaMurray a few weeks awayyCRIB POINT will be without Aaron Murray for a few weeks yet.

Murray has only been training for the past week with the Pies and won’t be match fi t for at least another three weeks you would expect.

Murray is coming off a knee reconstruction he suffered two seasons ago. It was his second knee reconstruction.

Murray crossed from his home club Somerville in controversial circumstances two weeks ago, joining former Eagle teammate and favourite son, Glenn Boyd.

‘Azza’ has been keeping himself fi t and strong, competing in triathlons.

He will be a wonderful acquisition for the Pies, who lost key forward Toron Petrie a fortnight ago.

Don’t argue: Sorrento got off to a fl yer and smashed Somerville in their weekend Nepean League game. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt A BLISTERING nine goal third quarter saw Red Hill continue on its merry way in Nepean League on Saturday against Hastings.

The Hillmen trailed by 13 points at the major change after the home side dominated the quarter, booting six goals to fi ve behinds.

Taylor Stratton was giving his side plenty of drive from the half back line, Justin Berry and Josh Mulheron were working well through the middle and around the ground and Kane Stratton was given a little bit of licence in the back half.

Steven Robb was also looking lively for the Blues and Dale Alanis and Steve Charalambous were getting their hands on the footy.

It was a great, free fl owing contest in the fi rst half and it appeared the Blues had the upper hand.

There was also plenty of feeling in the game also. A melee happened just before the half time siren and then fl owed into the half time break.

Offi cials from both sides, who should have known better, were also involved.

Red Hill has been unrelenting in third quarters this season and kicking with the wind, many believed the pacy visitors could turn it on again.

For the fi rst 17 minutes, Hastings did a wonderful job restricting the Hillmen, despite them getting their noses in front.

However, what happened in the next 8-10 minutes was super impressive.

Red Hill booted six unanswered goals in that space of time and blew Hastings off the park.

Jarryd Douglas, who was clearly the difference between the sides, booted four goals in the third quarter and fi nished the afternoon with six.

Why Hastings didn’t play a loose defender in front of him when he was clearly Red Hill’s only target was staggering.

Robbie Clements, who was released from Frankston Dolphins, played onball and completely dominated. His class and ball use, despite the slippery conditions, were noticeable.

Paul Wintle had the toughest task for the afternoon playing on Colin McVeigh. Wintle matched ‘Col’ in all aspects of the game and even showed the Blues’ star up a few times with his work at ground level.

Benny Maguiness turned the clock back and dominated through the middle while the Dal Lago brothers, Marcus and Pete showed great leadership and composure. Jake Mitchell was also outstanding, his left foot hurting the Blues on many occasion throughout the match.

Red Hill has certainly matured since losing to Rye in the last kick of the day.

Hastings were always going to come back with the wind in the last quarter and they did, booting three goals in

three minutes to get within four goals.However, as the rain became heavier,

so did the composure and lock down of Red Hill.

The Hillmen got a number behind the footy, they slowed the tempo of the match and ensured that Hastings didn’t get their hand off the footy. The Hillmen robbed the Blues of the footy.

When Douglas kicked his sixth of the match at the 20-minute mark, the game was done.

Red Hill ran out comfortable 32-point winners in the end, 15.16 (106) to 10.14 (74).

Whilst Hastings has plenty of injuries, Red Hill won without their leading goal kicker Jarryd Eames and running machines Luke Adams and Matt Hyden.

Whilst there were some at the ground that believe Red Hill’s lack of height will cost them come fi nals time, their leg speed, pressure, workrate and ability to hit up a lead are fi rst class.

A 6.5’ ruckman who can fi ll a hole down back or rest forward would top the Hillmen off nicely.

Rosebud moved inside the top fi ve with a commanding 84-point win against Pearcedale at Olympic Park Oval.

Inaccuracy in front of goal cost the Buds a three-fi gure winning margin, however, restricting the opposition to less than three goals did wonders for their percentage.

When percentage is going to be so important this season at the business end, Rosebud’s is very healthy at 136.74.

Rye, who is in sixth place on the sale amount of wins (six), has a percentage of 103.88.

Hastings is in seventh place, a further game back (fi ve wins) but has a percentage of 122.21.

Of those three clubs fi ghting it out for a place in the top fi ve, Hastings has by far the easiest run home.

Rosebud tall timber Ben Shultz and Ben Dwyer each booted three goals for the Buds while a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard. Tom Baker and Glenn Peterson continued their outstanding form.

Chris Fortnam and Matty White were the best of the Panthers, while Trav Sauer worked hard.

Frankston Bombers made it two wins on the trot, upsetting Rye by 15 points at Greg Beck Oval.

In tight contest all afternoon, the Bombers led for the large majority of the afternoon to win 10.13 (73) to 8.10 (58).

Jay Reynolds and Ryan Marks-Logan (three goals) were sensational for the winners while Ben Simmons and Sam Drake were also at their fi nest.

Chris Gleeson worked tirelessly for the Demons up front and fi nished with four majors while Adam Kirkwood and Luke Semmel tried hard.

Crib Point had little trouble getting the four points against Devon Meadows, winning 16.18 (114) to 7.7 (49).

The Pies started well with the win, kicking six goals to one in the fi rst quarter and setting up the win.

Glenn Boyd fi nished the day with four goals while Luke Herrington kicked three. Dean Warry and David Cook were outstanding.

Alex Doria and Pat Boland were the best of Devon, while Steve McInnes was also very good with three goals.

Leigh Poholke kicked six goals for Sorrento in their 12-goal win against Somerville.

Just like the Magpies, the Sharks booted six goals to one in the opening term and set up the 18.11 (119) to 6.10 (46) victory.

Ben McCormack was again at his best for the Sharks in the back half, supported well by Chris Bagot, who is back at his best. Todd Hounsell also played arguably his best game for the Sorrento Football Club.

Timmy Hirst and Jedd Sutton were the best of the Eagles.

Anthony Bruhn booted eight goals and Cam Park fi ve as Dromana booted 25.35 (185) to Tyabb’s 4.5 (29).

The Tigers had 25 scoring shots in the fi rst half and 23 scoring shots in the fi nal quarter!

Ash Souter and Rohan West were the best of the Yabbies.

CRIB POINT FNCBy Jared Newton CRIB Point came to play early against Devon Meadows last Saturday to en-sure the same mistakes the team made several weeks earlier against Pearce-dale were not repeated.

A six goal to one opening term set the day up for the Magpies who de-spite some challenges from the Pan-thers throughout the day managed to keep them at bay throughout the day.

Inaccurate kicking again hampered the Pies who after being 6.2 at the fi rst break, added 3.13 in the middle two quarters before fi nding their feet again late in the game to pile on 7.3 to fi nish off the Panthers by 65 points.

Final score: Crib Point defeated Devon Meadows, 16.18 (114) to 7.7 (49).

Crib Point had winners right across the fi eld with Dean Warry proving to be a revelation across half back with

another best of ground performance. Luke Herrington kicked three and

Glen Boyd did his damage early when the game was there to be won with a four goal effort.

David Cook was also had one of his better games after being hampered with injury with a sublime two goal effort from the middle and John Flack did what John Flack does best - win his own ball, manhandle defenders with brute strength and kick goals.

The win further cements their spot on the fi ve, now they need to cement their spot in the top three and win themselves a double chance in the fi -nals.

The reserves were undermanned and struggled with a few outs as they lost their second consecutive game against 2nd placed Devon Meadows.

The Pies were competitive through the middle of the ground but were just unable to get the ball past half for-

ward and were hurt on the rebound by a side prepared to run a little harder.

It’s been tough for the reserves with injuries playing a part and some of their better performers holding up spots in the seniors when called upon which doesn’t help their depth.

They’re competing every week but it’s making fi nals more and more diffi -cult by the week. It’s not the fi rst time the side has had their backs to the wall and there is still time to respond.

The unders went down but again showed a bit of ticker against stronger opponents. Their performances have been pretty solid in recent weeks and while it’s not translating to the four points, many in the club are impressed with the improvement shown.

There are a number of kids who will develop to be good senior footballers for Crib Point in the coming years.

HASTINGS FNCby Phil Stone Seniors: This week we played Red Hill who were second on the ladder. It was another big test for us since we were coming off three re-ally solid performances. We started poorly and Red Hill really ran the ball well. They were kicking with a strong wind and we were lucky they didn’t convert many of their chances.

We put in a good second quarter with the wind and came in on top at half time. What was disappointing was our luck of pressure in the second half. We only had 14 tackles in the third quarter and Red Hill kicked away.

We wasted an opportunity but at the same time we realised that if you don’t bring the de-fensive pressure that is expected and required of you then you can’t win games.

Final result:Red Hill 15.16 (106) to Hastings 10.14 (74).

Reserves: We faced Red Hill on yet another day in trying conditions. After fi ve losses in row the young blue boys needed a win for the last couple of weeks’ form without getting the main result. Kicking with a strong breeze the boys got off to a fl yer, applying enormous pres-sure from the fi rst bounce.

At half time there was only two goals in it with the young blue boys withstanding Red Hill’s turn with the wind. In the third quarter the boys needed to try get a lead to be able to hold back Red Hill, going into the last quarter to be leading by six goals.

In the last quarter the boys were all spent but kept pushing their bodies to the limit to get the result that has eluded them in past weeks to have a convincing win. Better players on the day: A.Thissen , J.Elton , C.Lehmann and the rest of the team playing a great brand of foot-ball.

Under 18s Combined: Tyabb-Hastings played host to Dromana at Tyabb. An even match beck-oned as Dromana had just one more win than their opponents.

The day did not turn out that way though as Dromana ran away with the match, with a 29-point win, collecting their fi fth win of the year.

Jayden Regan kicked the fi rst goal of the match from the fi rst centre bounce as the ball was swift-ly moved from the middle to the forward line. Tyabb-Hastings only managed one more goal for that quarter though as kicking into the breeze was tough. Dromana got out to 10-point lead at the quarter time break.

Tyabb-Hastings failed to make use of the wind in the second quarter, breaking down across half forward. Matters were made worse when Jayden Regan (league leading goal kicker) went down with a suspected serious knee injury. Dromana’s

lead extended to 13 points at the main break.Dromana’s run and carry proved too much for

the Tyabb-Hastings defence as the away team built on their half time lead and extended that to 27 points at three quarter time. Not exactly a pretty game as conditions did not suit a free fl ow-ing game of football.

Laz and Aiden Cuttriss on the wing and half back respectively both had great games, and showed great attack on the ball driving it in to the forward line. Bradie Boer in the ruck was solid again and small forward Ryan McCusker (2 goals) was a live wire and provided great inten-sity once moved into the midfi eld.

Fourth quarter provided 5 goals, 3 going to Dromana as they managed to win the quarter by 2 points going against the breeze. A disappointing loss for the boys as it was one that was defi nitely winnable.

Netball Report by Aaron WilsonWE hosted Red Hill in what was a good spirited day of netball by both clubs.

C grade had their best game in weeks combin-ing well. They are showing much improvement and having a great time out there. Keep working hard girls and a win will come.

B grade had the best start to their match all sea-son leading at half time, unfortunately it was a game of two halves for us and our brilliant play from the fi rst half wasn’t taken into the second. Red Hill fought back hard and came away with the win.

A-grade played a great game against Red Hill, both teams were evenly matched, even though we didn’t come away with the win the girls can hold their heads high as their last quarter they staged an impressive fi ght back and never gave up!
