Speed no limit for this model flyboy DANIEL Arapakis isn’t one to sit down doing nothing, but a series of operations on his ankle put a stop to anything that involved running or jumping. Standing still wasn’t an option either and the youngster fixed his eyes on the skies. That was just over a couple of years ago and since then 13-year-old Daniel has earned his stripes at the controls of an aeroplane. His remote controlled, scaled down version of the real thing is about to take him to Europe where he’ll compete in an international model aeroplane contest against flyers twice his age.

Flood relief for thousands David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au ABOUT 20,000 peninsula properties are no longer designated flood-prone and more could be removed from the list as a result of “state of the art” mapping and weather modelling still under way across the shire, shire councillors have been told. But while councillors voted to endorse the amended maps already com-
pleted, municipal building surveyor David Kotsiakos faced a torrent of questions from councillors dissatisfied with aspects of the maps, presented at the 9 June council meeting. The maps’ aim is to set floor heights for new building works, which will keep them above floodwater. The mapping program is separate from measures needed to deal with predicted sea level rise. Mr Kotsiakos said the new maps
covered the more densely populated areas of the peninsula. “These areas are currently experiencing a high level of development and/or redevelopment,” he said. “Community members operating in this space expect council to promptly provide them with accurate and reliable information.” Several councillors said flood maps were not accurate enough and that property owners needed to rely on them when planning to build or extend.
“Building [work] is being severely hampered,” Cr Graham Pittock told the meeting. “The problem is that land is not properly designated and builders can’t be sure [of getting floor levels correct] in flood-prone areas. “The private person needs to do due diligence up front.” But even if they do, applicants must ensure their block has not been assessed for flooding between them gaining a planning permit and before build-
ing starts, since the land’s status could change. Meeting flood requirements can add many thousands of dollars to building costs. Cr Lynn Bowden said the maps were too small to be useful. All 34 maps were made available for public inspection on 10 June at shire offices. Acting director of planning Allan Cowley said the maps were an improvement on the old ones. Continued Page 10

Federal cuts force up child care costs MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire says it will continue to provide family day care, despite the imminent slashing of federal funding for the service. As a result, the shire says it has been forced to double its administration levee from mid-July from 75 cents to $1.50 an hour for each child “rather than see this service lost to the community”. The shire regards its family day care as a high quality, regulated home based child care service for children up to 13. Children are looked after in a registered carer’s home – not a day care centre. Operators provide flexible care day and night, seven days a week under a licence agreement with the shire. The shire is regarded as the administrator of the service which provides places for about 200 peninsula families. It compiles timesheets, ensures child care providers run clean and tidy premises and have relevant licences. Home visits ensure compliance. Fees depend on family incomes and are usually paid fortnightly. Rebates are recouped through child care assistance schemes.
The shire receives $140,000 from the federal government to help run of the service – but this will stop on 1 July. Parents will be able to recoup a proportion of the increased fees through either the child care rebate or child care assistance. It is expected that no parent will be asked to pay the full amount of the increase. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the family day care program was highly respected and had consistently met the requirements of the national quality framework (NQF). It was awarded a rating of “exceeding the national quality standards” at the most recent assessments and ratings visit. “Council is committed to the FDC program and the wonderful service it provides in our community,” she said. “It is always a difficult decision to raise fees, but to continue this important service in light of funding cuts leaves us no option.” Cr Colomb said family day care users should contact the shire for further information about the new fees.

Volunteer VIPs: Cr Antonella Celi, the mayor Cr Bev Colomb, volunteer Elaine Russell and library services coordinator Stephanie Wilson celebrate the work of volunteers.
Thanks for library volunteers VOLUNTEERS play a big role in the life of Mornington Peninsula Shire. The library service has 137 volunteers, including 67 in the home library service and 70 in four branches and the mobile library. Branch volunteers assist at the library each day in ensuring items are correctly shelved and that the presentation of libraries is first class. Home library volunteers provide an essential community service by providing reading, audio and other
library items to those unable to visit a branch. Library volunteer Elaine Russell, who has just celebrated 20 years of volunteer service at Rosebud Library, was praised at a recent volunteers’ luncheon – part of National Volunteers’ Week. “The shire and library’s team is delighted to take a moment to focus on the contribution volunteers make, their community spirit and their selflessness. Thank you volunteers,” Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Cr Bev Colomb said.

Our famous...
CELSIUS Treasure hunt: A full scale replica of the projectile fired by gunners from Pt Nepean intrigues Mornington Peninsula Justices Association chairman Graham Unwin, Southern Ocean Exploration’s Mark Ryan and Royal Victorian Association of Honorary Justices director Ben Loois. It was made by Mt Eliza Secondary College student Josh Daly.
It’s a long shot, but divers aim to retrieve historic shell PROJECT Longshot is a most timely event in the centenary of Anzac. So says Mark Ryan, of Southern Ocean Exploration, who addressed the Mornington Peninsula Justices’ Association last week. He described the circumstances surrounding the firing of the first British Empire shot in World War I – and the modern-day efforts of his volunteer divers to find the relic. Records show that war had been declared for only a matter of hours when gunners at Fort Nepean were ordered to “stop or sink” the German freighter SS Pfalz as it steamed for the Heads and open sea on 5 August 1914. Their "heave to" shot across the bow forced the ship to return to Portsea and internment for the duration of the war.
To search for the shell, the Defence department has allowed the exploration company use of a Royal Navy magnetometer - specialist sonar equipment – said to be capable of “finding a .22 shell buried deep in sand”. Mr Ryan admitted finding a six-inch shell inside the deep and fast-flowing Rip would be a “difficult mission”. “Our group of divers believe it is there and will make every endeavour to find it,” he said. “It can be found.” Mr Ryan said Southern Ocean Exploration was not a treasure hunting group. “Our main aim is to find ship wrecks, photograph them and submit reports to Heritage Victoria,” he said. “We were much encouraged by [former Premier] Ted Baillieu in 2013 to search for the long shot.”
Shire’s future rubbish target ups capacity THE landfill in Hampton Park likely to be the destination for shire rubbish after Rye tip closes is set to be expanded. Last week it was reported that French-based Suez Environnement, operator of the Hampton Park landfill, or tip, would expand to adjacent land that could take waste for many more years (“Quarry waste target again”, The News, 9/6/15). The Hampton Park landfill is a key plank in the shire’s future waste disposal strategy as it looks for sites to set up a so-called bulk haul centre that would take waste from smaller trucks and take it off the peninsula in larger vehicles. The shire is looking at several places for the bulk haul centre including Rye, Mornington, Tyabb and two sites in Dromana – a shire depot in Brasser Ave in the town’s industrial estate and the disused Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment. Suez, asked by The News if it had bought more property for its Hampton Park landfill, said it had “no current plan to purchase adjoining property”. It was later revealed Suez had already bought the adjoining land, which is a sand quarry about to be closed and converted into a rubbish tip. Melbourne’s waste management authority, Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group, stated that the quarry had been bought by SITA Australia, now trading under the name of its parent company, Suez Environnement. It said the company had “purchased the Kingsvale site (adjacent to the Hallam Rd landfill site) from Rinker. The Kingsvale site is soon to be closed as a sandmining operation. This site could potentially be used as an extension of the existing Hallam Rd landfill, when the space at the Hallam Rd site is filled”. At a public meeting last month about the shire’s
draft Waste and Resource Recovery report, meeting chairman Cr David Gibb, who has been the council’s waste expert since 1999 and is now its representative on the metro group, said Suez’s Hampton Park landfill would be full in 13 years. Later a shire officer said the landfill had an expected life of 15-20 years. Mornington Peninsula Shire was subsumed into the metro waste group last August. It had previously been the independent Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Management Group (trading as Peninsula Zero Waste) from 1999 until 2014. Cr Gibb was the peninsula group’s chairman. He and former CEO Michael Kennedy had fought off several previous attempts to force the shire into the metro region. Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group recently announced more organic waste would be diverted from landfill with the approval of a new organics processing facility in the southeast that would take up to 120,000 tonnes of green waste. “EPA Victoria recently granted a works approval to Sacyr Industrial for the construction of a new, fully enclosed, in-vessel aerobic composting and maturation facility in Dandenong South to process organic waste collected from kerbsides in eight council areas in the southeast of Melbourne,” the group stated. “Sacyr is one of three companies developing organics processing facilities in the southeast as part of the Metropolitan Organics Strategy to increase the recovery, processing and beneficial use of organic waste (garden and food) collected by metropolitan councils for the next 15 years.” David Harrison and Mike Hast

‘No more deaths’: petition plea THE tragic death of Mt Eliza woman Olivia Steadman-Meconi at the Robinsons Rd-Western Port Hwy intersection last month has prompted demands for a roundabout. A petition to be presented to Roads Minister Luke Donnellan says the safety upgrade is necessary “before more innocent lives are lost”. The woman, 19, died after her car collided with a ute towing a trailer 6pm, Friday 29 May. Organiser, Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess, said the Pearcedale intersection had a “long and deadly history with 18 casualty crashes, including two deaths, in the past five years”.
“This deadly intersection’s damning reputation has again been underscored by the tragic and unnecessary death that occurred there,” he said. “Minister, your community is relying on you; you are the only one that can stop people dying at this intersection.” The online petition at change.org asks that immediate traffic management strategies include cuts in the speed limit on that section of the Western Port Highway to 80kmh “to prevent further injury and/or loss of life at this location”. Petitions are usually presented when parliament is sitting. The next sitting days are 23-25 June.
The online response at change.org was quick: “I’m a first responder from the local area and responded to this collision,” James Oswald. “This death is not a one-off occurrence, and, as the Hastings area grows, the main road networks must grow, too. I’m baffled a petition needs to be sought for a project that should have already been ticked off on the minister’s desk,” Andrew Ferris, Langwarrin. “It is time and, as a local, I travel along there from time to time,” Kaye Farrow, Bentleigh East.

Planners urge action over eatery permit Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors will be asked if they want to continue legal action against an award-winning business that, although preparing and regularly serving food, claims it is not a restaurant. Green Olive of Red Hill in 2008 was given a permit for “primary produce sales” and “manufacturing sales” after presenting plans that showed a small sales counter and tasting area in an existing shed. Council officers say Green Olive now offers “a substantive menu of food and drink” prepared by two chefs in a commercial-sized kitchen served in an area equipped with 80 chairs. It also runs cooking classes, has a large dry store and has “drastically modified” the internal layout of the endorsed plans. Last year Green Olive won the “excellence in food tourism” section of the Victorian Tourism Awards and a silver medal at the Australian Tourism Awards. However, Green Olive operates on a 10-hectare block of land and under the peninsula’s Green Wedge regulations a restaurant cannot be considered on land of less than 40ha. Greg O’Donohue, who runs Green
Olive with his wife Sue on MorningtonFlinders Rd, Main Ridge, last Thursday said “we don’t run a restaurant”. Before discontinuing a phone call from The News, Mr O’Donohue said the shire had previously threatened to take the issue to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) “but they seem to back off when they see our legal advice”. “It seems all quiet at the moment,” Mr O’Donohue said. The shire’s claim of non-compliance by Green Olive appears to revolve around the definition of what constitutes a restaurant. At a 1 June briefing, councillors were told that complaints about the use of the land were first made in 2011. “After considering the relevant factors … it was determined that the land was being used as a restaurant and the owners were asked to comply with their planning permit and/or planning scheme,” the briefing was told. The issue remained unresolved after several other meetings and in 2013 the council “sought high-level legal advice that confirmed our belief”. Lawyers representing the council and Green Olive were also unable to reach an agreement and in August 2014 the council engaged Susan Brennan SC about obtaining an enforce-
ment order from VCAT. Instead of acting immediately, the council again wrote to the O’Donohues seeking more information “to allow council to better understand the land use”. The response, given to the council on 9 April “was deemed insufficient” and officers are now recommending that a non-compliance order be sought from VCAT. They say the matter should be pursued because of evidence of breaches of the planning scheme, which the shire has a statutory obligation to enforce (“and there is a potential for criticism should we not act”). Risks of not taking action include the “perception” of a business being granted an “unfair advantage”. The officers also warn that the council could attract “negative publicity” by forcing a change “to a successful business with tourism links and high public profile”. The officers acknowledge Green Olive is “successful and very popular” but say any potential losses “would only result due to [its] failure to act in accordance with the approved permit and/or scheme”. On Friday the shire’s environment protection and community safety manager Claire Smith said discussions
were being held with the operators of Green Olive “over alleged non-compliance with planning permit conditions”. “No formal enforcement activities have been undertaken at this stage,” Ms Smith said. The Green Olive website makes plenty of references to food and wine served at its “farm shop” as well as the following: “On a visit to our Farm Shop and Restaurant at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula you can enjoy coffee from beans roasted on site, savour the smell of our herbs and spices as they roast, enjoy our homemade sausages or tapas dishes and even take a small taste of our farm home with you.” The popular tripadvisor website says it is “#2 of 6 restaurants” in Main Ridge. The visitmorningtonpeninsula website, the “official” website of the Mornington Peninsula, carries the following first-person description: “At Green Olive at Red Hill. … Our restaurant is located in the middle of our farm so we have plenty of outdoor space for the children to run around, away from the busy roads.” When is a restaurant not a restaurant? In this case that’s a question lawyers may be dining out on for some time come.
Shire shake-up delays review MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have ignored a legislative requirement to review a key buying policy because of the “organisational review” instigated by CEO Carl Cowie. The Local Government Act requires the shire to review its procurement policy each financial year, but councillors last week agreed to a delay. Compliance liaison officer Jackie Thorne, in a report to councillors, “acknowledged” the legislative requirement but said a delay would be “appropriate” with the review being made after finalisation of an internal audit and “the CEO’s organisational review is further progressed”. Councillors will be presented with the review by October, two years since the policy was last formally considered by council. Ms Thorne expects “improved clarity” from the organisational review which has already led to new appointments of senior managers, staff resignations and redundancies amid concerns raised by unions and staff associations. Ms Thorne said trials being undertaken of a “Computron system” to “provide the internal control enhancements”. “The CEO is conducting a shirewide organisational review which may result in structural changes as well as significant changes to what, as well as how, operations are conducted,” Ms Thorne said. “This could have ramifications for resources that are available to be utilised in the procurement function and also significantly influence what goods and services (and in what volumes) are required to be procured.” Keith Platt

Gift from Dromana to Dromana AN elaborate glass bowl is about to be taken from one Dromana to another. Created by Gordon Studio Glassblowers at Red Hill, the green bowl will be delivered by Cr Graham Pittock as a gift from 15 clubs and organisations in Dromana, Victoria, to the people of Dromana, Ireland.
The $1000 bowl was sent to Perth for engraving and displayed to its various donors last Friday at Safety Beach Sailing Club. Cr Pittock leaves for Ireland on 20 June where he will join in celebrations marking 800 years of settlement at Dromana, Villierstown in West Waterford.
“It’sd a gift from the community of Dromana on the peninsula to the community of Dromana in Ireland,” he said. As well as planting a tree, Cr Pittock can join in celebrations which include dancing, a Medieval feast, music, concerts and watch the falcons of the Irish Hawking Club at the Georgian Fete.

Model flyer speeds into world challenge Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SITTING around at home after a series of ankle operations didn’t appeal to Mornington student Daniel Arapakis. He couldn’t walk but he still wanted to do something interesting. That “something� has now earned him a place as a junior in the Australian team to contest the world model aeroplane championships in the Czech Republic next month. Daniel, 13, will contest the F3D class – the Formula 1 of model aeroplane flying. It’s the fastest class in the world, reaching speeds of 350kph. His opponents are 50 other worldclass flyers whose average age is 30. “It’s so much fun; I love it,� he said last week. “It’s something I can do that impresses people, but it requires a lot of practise.� Good hand-to-eye coordination and complete concentration is vital, he says, as is “sticking to a race plan�. Maintaining a fast but steady pace around the course is the best tactic, leaving an all-out assault on the fastest times to the final two races, when the worst two results can be discarded. “The trick is not to freak out if things go wrong,� Daniel said. His plane is several classes removed from the $200 starter plane bought from a Hastings hobby shop in the beginning. It was suitable at the time, but was only a stepping stone as the young pilot pushed himself to be the best with the best plane. The Padua College student and

member of the Western Port Model Aeroplane Club has been racing pylon planes – so called because they race around pylons - for two and a half years, practising most weekends since October, competing in the season’s race calendar and hoping to qualify for the Australian team in the world championships. Each 400-metre lap has three turns
and competitors must complete 10 laps in under 60 seconds. The world championship is held every two years and an entrant team can only consist of one junior (aged under 18) and three seniors. To qualify, Daniel had to win two of three qualifying time trials last year. The first was at the Australian championships last June at Marybor-
category and also came third overall in the men’s open division.� Daniel’s Minute Master plane was custom designed by his coach, Barry Murphy. It is fibreglass and carbon, making it light weight (2250 grams) and very strong. It travels at 350kph and pulls 40gs in the turns. The 1.8 metre long wing was custom made in Queensland and the fuselage is from Werribee. The plane’s MB40 engines are custom made in Holland and enhanced by Mr Murphy. They race at 33,000rpm and have hand carved carbon propellers also designed and built by Mr Murphy. “The Murphy family are world renowned for some of the quickest and most reliable planes in the world,� Mr Arapakis said. “Daniel has been practising weekly at the Munro field for almost 20 months to prepare and fine tune the engine start-up procedure and flight skills. He has race-prepared four models that will be air freighted to Europe next week in time for the world championships.� While flying model aeroplanes is only a hobby now, Daniel sees it as his future. “I love planes and want to fly them all my life: this is where my future lies.�

Studies reveal rising risks for Western Port’s coast Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE latest studies into rising sea levels show beaches and foreshores will be affected throughout Western Port, with the biggest loss of land to inundation occurring in the northern section of the bay. While beaches from Somers to Flinders with steeper foreshores will in large part retain their existing profiles, erosion is expected to increase as cliffs become more exposed to the sea. The studies also warn that underground water supplies will increasingly be salt affected. Land surrounding the bay’s tidal channels, such as those at Hastings and Merricks Creek, will also come under increasing pressure from rising levels in Western Port and water flowing from the land. The latest data on projected sea level rise, storm surge and erosion in Western Port is contained in the Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment. The study area includes all shorelines of Western Port and French Island, as well as the northern shorelines of Phillip Island from Newhaven to Seal Rocks. Although the study does not predict the effects of rising sea levels on properties, it does take account of such existing coastal structures as Yaringa Boat harbour, Somerville, the Port of Hastings, Western Port Marina, the Crib Point and

Stony Point jetties and the HMAS Cerberus defence base, the Blind Bight boat ramp, the Cowes Jetty, Phillip Island Bridge and rock walls at Tooradin. The report says beaches between Balnarring and Somers are already being eroded. “Western Port has significant social, economic, built and natural values that have been identified as at risk from the impacts of sea level rise and storm surge,� Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP),
regional manager, Rod Anderson said. “This assessment brings together the best historical knowledge of the Western Port coastline with detailed modelling and projected sea level rise data for the years 2040, 2070 and 2100. “The modelling from the assessment will help land managers and owners in Western Port to make decisions about how to prepare and respond to climate risks along the coast.� Detailed assessments were made of four areas along the coast includ-
ing from Balnarring to Somers in the south. Mr Anderson said the study’s results would “influence future planning decisions, emergency management frameworks, local infrastructure maintenance, and regional climate adaptation planning� by all levels of government. “It will also be used to continue conversations so that we can better understand community values and priorities in Western Port, and to identify opportunities for collaborative action on
climate change.� The Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment project is funded by the Victorian Government and delivered in partnership with Melbourne Water, South East Councils Climate Change Alliance, and the municipalities of Bass Coast, Cardinia, Casey and Mornington Peninsula.

Continued from Page 1 Mr Cowley said the maps would not be perfect but would reduce worries for the building industry overall. Certificates would be issued to indicate the status of land. “In terms of individual properties, the purpose of mapping is to seek [to establish] a floor level, so when people come to build they seek that floor level and if there is a dispute there is an appeal process,� he said. The shire is using a computer program that combines a topographical map with an image showing the location of buildings. Rainfall is modelled at varying levels of intensity and run-off tracked. Mr Kotsiakos said flash storms must generate a certain water depth to be classed as flooding. Rising water caused by blocked drains was not classed as a flood, but if an area’s drain network was undersize, the affected area could be classed as flood-prone. Cr Tim Rodgers drew attention to a disclaimer on the maps, which states that Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire “do not warrant the [maps’] accuracy or completeness of information ... and any person using or relying upon such information does so on the basis that [Victoria and the shire] shall bear no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any errors, faults, defects or ommissions [sic] in the information.� Mr Kotsiakos said this was a standard statement. Cr Rodgers queried difficulties with loading the maps on to the shire website, asking shire CEO Carl Cowie if he had a comment on the website. “Not a polite one,� Mr Cowie said, saying the files “are massive; very, very substantial.� Crs Antonella Celi and Anne Shaw, supporting the map plan, said it was a significant step forward and provided certainty for builders and property owners. It was part of the shire’s extensive drainage strategy and was just a stage in a continuing program.

Kirner inspired disadvantaged places Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au JOAN Kirner’s influence on the Mornington Peninsula will be felt long into the future. Victoria’s first and only woman Premier co-founded the Landcare movement in 1985 when she was Minister for Conservation, Forests and Lands. With Victorian Farmers Federation president Heather Mitchell, Ms Kirner oversaw the development of a program that has reversed the degradation of farmland, public land and waterways throughout the state. Last week the Landcare organisation paid tribute to Ms Kirner, who died on Monday 1 June at age 76 of cancer of the oesophagus. (Ms Kirner never smoked.) The organisation said the former Labor MP “recognised the value and importance of implementing Landcare as a policy, leading to its adoption as a national initiative”. By the end of 1986 there were about 10 Landcare groups in Victoria. It was launched as a national program in 1989 and has grown to about 5000 groups across Australia. The peninsula has 12 groups, which joined forces to form Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network last year. This followed the appointment in 2012 of Dr Jacqueline Salter as the peninsula’s Landcare coordinator after Mornington Peninsula Shire was given a grant by the state government in late 2011 to fund a coordinator and develop other initiatives. Ms Kirner continued to support Landcare after leaving state politics and was a judge at the 2012 national
Landcare awards. She is remembered in the Hastings district as a hero for helping reinstate funding for the town’s neighborhood renewal program in September 2009, which had been cut by two years by the Labor government in May. The Hastings project had been due to run for eight years, from 2006-13. It was one of 19 in Victoria, including at Rosebud West and Frankston North, started by the Labor government to revive disadvantaged communities with concentrations of public housing. The projects brought together resources and ideas of residents, governments, businesses and community groups. The proposed cut generated anger and dismay in Hastings, and saw an intense lobbying campaign lead by Ms Kirner. Housing and Local Government Minister Richard Wynne was besieged when he visited Hastings in mid-2009 and the funding was reinstated in September. Former neighbourhood renewal project manager Pam Ford said Ms Kirner first visited Hastings in her role as communities ambassador for the state government. “She came to the steering committee and other meetings over a three-year period 2009-11 and was welcomed by people of all political persuasion. There was standing room only when she spoke inspirationally about her passion for community and what could be achieved through active involvement. The ‘Voice of Hastings Choir’ put on special performances for her,” Ms Ford said. “Joan Kirner helped secure $3 mil-
lion for the Hastings Community Hub renovation. It was converted from a derelict and condemned building to a fantastic asset for Hastings and Mornington Peninsula Shire.” (Money for the renovation included $2.1 million from the federal government, $730,000 from the state government, and about $60,000 plus in-kind contribution from the shire.) “Joan also helped secure funding for a family violence program at Hastings after the renewal project funding ended in 2013. This later became a community safety group based at the Hub, which continues to operate and has conducted community awareness sessions,” Ms Ford said. “Long before the issue of family violence became so prominent, Joan was responsible for setting up and overseeing programs at neighbourhood renewal sites to address this most serious issue.” Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said: “Joan Kirner was an inspiration to many for her leadership on women’s rights and social justice issues, and her passionate belief in the power of education to transform lives”. “Many on the Mornington Peninsula were fortunate to have shared in her warmth and wisdom through her direct involvement in community and neighbourhood renewal programs in Rosebud West and Hastings. Her guidance and support of these initiatives helped to deliver tangible, long-term empowerment for residents to have the confidence and resilience to address challenges and build stronger communities. She has left an indelible mark on Victoria’s and Australia’s history.”

Family planning meal of the century Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A BIRTHDAY celebration of special significance on 6 July will honour long-term Mt Eliza resident Victor Ian Hamilton Shadforth, of Jackson’s Rd, who turns 100. It will be held at Josephine’s Restaurant, The Briars, for close family and friends. Mr Shadforth has had a bit of practice with grand events: his 99th birthday was held at Heronswood Homestead, Dromana. He met wife Patricia, of Lapoinya, Tasmania, at a community singing event, which was a popular form of entertainment for young people before the war. They were married in 1937 and lived happily for 73 years until her death in 2010. They have two daughters, Beverley and Grace. The couple lived in Mt Eliza for 40 years and, before that, holidayed on family camping trips to Rye during the war years. Named after the British General, Sir Ian Hamilton, who commanded the Gallipoli operations during WWI, Mr Shadforth was born at Cobram, Victoria, in 1915. His father was a town identity as the barber and captain of the fire brigade and football club. On leaving school, Mr Shadforth became the first curator of the Cobram Barooga Golf Club, riding his bicycle to and from the club, and around the course attending to the sand-scrape “greens”. He was paid 25 shillings a week, plus a new set of bike tyres each year.

After being turned down for a pay rise in 1936, Mr Shadforth moved to Melbourne, living with his sister Minetta and brother-in-law Charlie, in Oakleigh. He and Charlie set up a concreting business and rode to suburbs as far away as Balwyn, carrying their tools with them. At this time, Mr Shadforth played for Oakleigh Football Club. He later took up golf and after moving to Mt Eliza joined Long Island Country Club.
When war broke out, Mr Shadforth tried to enlist for active service but was rejected for medical reasons, being blind in his right eye. Instead, he joined the Civil Construction Corp and was sent to different parts of Victoria building and repairing bridges, roads and other infrastructure. One of these postings was to Mornington where he and his young family were billeted at a guest house in Tanti Av run by a Mrs Heron. After the war,
for many years, the family spent their summer holidays camping on the foreshore at Rye. Mr Shadforth was self-employed for all of his working life in concreting, machine hire and quarrying. He and Patricia’s time in Mornington during the war endeared them to the peninsula and, on retirement in the 1970s, they decided to move to Mt Eliza, close to the beach and lifestyle they loved.
He has lived there ever since. Daughter Beverley was born in 1938, and Grace (Dorothy Grace), in 1941. Beverley married Geoff Stephens, and they have a son, Gregory. Grace married David Rew, a long term Mt Eliza real estate agent, and they have a daughter, Jennifer, and son David (deceased). The great grandchildren, all young adults, are Tim, married to another Grace in 2014, Chris, who is engaged to Erin and Michelle and Kirsty. Grace and David, Jennifer and husband Rob, along with – of course Mr Shadforth, all live in Mt Eliza. Mr and Mrs Shadforth reportedly had a happy retirement, loving their garden, golf, beach, and family. “Vic always had a dog, usually a Labrador, walking daily on the beach, and enjoying meeting up with other regular walkers and their dogs,” granddaughter Jennifer Gassin said. “He was a great gardener and always has a beautiful garden. He has a little help with it now, but still takes an interest and pride in it. His tomato growing skills are legendary and he still grows and tends to his tomato plants.” Until recently, Ms Shadforth attended the Mt Eliza Senior Citizens (over 55s), and now does an exercise class weekly in Mornington. “Vic enjoys the friendliness of the people and the strong sense of community in Mt Eliza,” Ms Gassin said. “He is familiar with very many faces and people when he is in the village, where he is well known. “He especially enjoys the company of his cat, Bonnie.”

NEWS DESK Groups share grants TWENTY-SEVEN community groups will share in $110,000 under Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2015 Placemaking Grants Program. The grants range from $5000 to $2000. A sample of recipients includes Dromana Foreshore Committee of Management, which will receive $4500 to pay for one of four fitness stations along the Dromana Foreshore bay trail, from the service station corner down to the Boat Hire Shed near Anthony’s Nose. It is hoped the fitness stations will attract residents to the foreshore. Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group, Mt Martha, will receive $4555 to renovate the rotunda at the former camping ground at Balcombe Estuary. Mounted graffiti-proof panels will feature flora, fauna and water themes. Artwork by children from four primary schools will be produced under the direction of a professional artist.
Police Point art hub THE refurbished gatekeeper’s cottage and, later, the superintendent’s cottage at Police Point will create a hub for artists at Point Nepean. The cottages date from 1852 and 1888 and have primary heritage status. They will have a several uses being organised by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s libraries, arts and culture unit. The aim is to establish the cottage precincts as a public arts and culture site. An artist-in-residence program at the gatekeeper’s cottage will allow artists and cultural experts to immerse themselves in their craft. Those already invited to invited to apply include writers and directors, painters, ceramicists and sculptors.
Workers now bosses of friendlier hours WHAT do you do when you’ve spent many years in the hospitality industry working long hours, nights and weekends for bosses? Stick your neck out and start your own place, which opens at 6am but, nice, is closed at nights and weekends. That’s the short version of Matthew Bisogni and Mark Blyth’s story as the two fortysomethings with families plough into the winter after three months running Carbine Cantina, the venue formerly known as Grazen. The cantina named after the famous racehorse in the street named after the famous racehorse in Mornington’s light industrial area is getting a reputation as a pre-dawn pick-me-up refuge with the coffee machine operating from 6am sharp. An egg and bacon roll and a strong brew for $10 makes the commute faced by many residents more palatable. Both men are known to patrons of winery restaurants or cellar doors on the peninsula. Bisogni, aged 47 and father of three, left the position of general manager of Tuck’s Ridge to start the cafe. He spent 11 years at Tuck’s, including four as GM and six as cellar door manager. Before that he was at T’Gallant and Mantons Creek

after starting in hospitality at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne before venturing to Europe to spend “time studying life and hospitality in Rome”. Blyth, 49 and dad to two, has been in hospitality for almost 25 years including as a trainer in Vietnam and now at William Angliss Institute where he shows students the front-ofhouse ropes. He’s worked in all kinds of establishments – from pizza joints to fine dining restaurants. Blyth left Max’s in Red Hill to start Carbine Cantina. Bisogni told The News it was “lovely to stress about your own busi-
ness” and have the support of their wives, who work at schools on the peninsula. “We’re getting a wide mixture of people for breakfast and lunch including folks from nearby retirement villages, mums, tradies and factory workers, and horse people from the racecourse,” he said. The cantina offers an all-day menu with dishes that can be varied to suit. The panko burgers are popular (beef patties covered in Japanese-style breadcrumbs). There’s takeaway and table service. “Some tradies have walked in and
said ‘This looks a bit too fancy for me’ but others love it,” Bisogni said. He said upstairs would be marketed as a place for breakfast and lunch meetings. The walls are decorated with work by local artists as well as original flora and fauna illustrations done by a mate of Bisogni’s, Phil Robinson. They include horses, of course.

Mornington News 16 June 2015
Call for green alert on port’s future Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au OPPONENTS to a container port at Hastings are being warned not to give up the fight just because the state government plans to lease the Port of Melbourne with guarantees of no competition for 50 years. The Preserve Western Port Action Group wants the government to “pursue sustainable developments that support the tourism and recreational boating industries” as an alternative to further industrialising Western Port. The group was Infrastructure Victoria to begin its assessment of whether Bay West in Port Phillip or Hastings is the best location for the state’s next container port. “Detailed submissions will be sought and the government will then decide and legislate on the location before the next state election,” the action group’s president Geoff Nottle said. “The most persuasive arguments put forward by vested interests will win out and the government is clearly seeking to avoid the political pain of the final decision.” The action group is also wary of statements by Ports Minister Luke Donnellan and Hastings Port Development Authority CEO Mike Lean that Hastings could be a port for “bulk” commodities. The group and other environmental-
ists are likely to oppose any moves to use Hastings for exporting brown coal from the La Trobe Valley or increase shipments of petroleum products and natural liquefied gas (LNG). Ports Minister Luke Donnellan told the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee on 22 May that the government is “expecting the Port of Hastings Development Authority to chase opportunities in bulk to continue to grow the port down there”. “There are enormous opportunities, obviously, in relation to storage of petroleum, because we are importing so much petroleum now. “I would also like to see them look at chasing down business in the energy sector, because the Latrobe Valley has enormous brown coal deposits, gas and so forth.” Mr Nottle told The News on Monday that although the government was being “pretty vague” about Hastings being a bulk port, “we would oppose any increase in shipping … or making Western Port another industrialised waterway”. In a news release from the action group Mr Nottel quotes Mr Donnellan as telling the parliamentary committee that “development of the second container port will be demand driven, with timing determined when the Port of Melbourne reaches capacity”. “The possibility of a state government industrialising Westernport and building a container port at Hastings is
still 100 per cent on the table and our community needs to be aware that this can happen,” Mr Nottle states. “This ‘demand driven’ approach of the government to a container port is in stark contrast to the build it and they may come approach of the former Liberal National Party government. “While the economic drivers for the huge investment may have changed, the possibility of Hastings being a container port has not.” Mr Donnellan has also told the parliamentary committee: “I think we really need a thorough and rigorous analysis by Infrastructure Victoria - by economists, transport planners and the like - to actually get it right. I think we need to, as much as we can, put it into an independent entity to do it, not to put it into the hands of politicians. “In terms of when we need to make a decision, we would make it during this term.” Mr Nottel said Bass Coast Shire Council wanted its views to be considered by Infrastructure Victoria. “With tourism contributing $653 million to the Phillip Island (Bass Coast Shire) economy in 2012-13 representing, 37.9 per cent of gross regional product, employing 5700 people and providing 38.2 per cent of regional employment the adverse impact of a container port could devastate the economy,” Mr Nottel said. Recreational boating added another $500m a year to Western Port’s economy.
Lasting impression: A hooded plover takes refuge in a footprint left on a beach within Mornington Peninsula National Park.
Plover numbers state’s worst FIGURES released by BirdLife Australia last week confirm the disappointing hooded plover breeding season on the Mornington Peninsula. The News reported in March that just four chicks survived to fledgling [flying] stage out of 34 chicks that hatched and final figures match this. BirdLife members monitored 156 pairs on Victorian surf beaches from the far west to south Gippsland. In total 67 birds fledged. The peninsula was the worst area in the state followed by south Gippsland with five chicks.
Best results occurred in the far west region with 25 chicks surviving to fledge. Phillip Island had 12. All other zones had single figures. There are fewer than 600 hooded plovers left in Victoria. In February, Nepean MP Martin Dixon called on the state government to introduce a total ban on dogs in Mornington Peninsula National Park but the Labor state government’s environment minister Lisa Neville rejected the call and accused Mr Dixon of “waging war on dog walke rs”.

LETTERS Change for better The mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, Cr Hugh Fraser and other councillors who voted to support the “streamlining and regularising” of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s planning processes are to be congratulated. The mayor’s comment (“Council scraps planning group” The News, 2/6/15) supported by Cr Hugh Fraser’s letter (“Council changes”) in the same edition indicates that planning matters which were previously considered by council at a special committee meeting will now be dealt with at full council meetings, which are generally more widely attended by the public. The new process should improve rather than diminish transparency, scrutiny and consistency. There is no change in the ability of developers and objectors to present their case before the council. The only difference being that those applications which were previously heard by the council in committee will now be heard at council meetings. The new process does not alter the state government’s mandatory requirement that planning applications be exhibited for 14 days and planning amendments for at least one month. Under the new streamlined process and procedures any councillor can more quickly call in a planning application and, rather than being considered by the officers, it will be considered by the full council. In the opinion of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ & Residents’ Association this change makes it less likely that an individual councillor will be able to influence a planning decision. It is pleasing to see that the council is moving into the 21st century. We are encouraged by recent comments by the new CEO and are hopeful that under his leadership and with support from many of the good employees who we have encountered at the shire that it will become more open and transparent. Alan Nelsen, president Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ & Residents’ Association
Doing their best It was with dismay that so many readers saw the article “Claws bared over cattery” (The News2/6/15) about the recent council meeting and the attack on the Mornington animal shelter. At last we have an animal shelter which we can all take pride in. It could serve as a role model for so many others. The staff are caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. The animals are treated with love and respect. The re-homing rates are growing due to the enormous effort of staff and rescue groups. Why then are a few people complaining? Do these people have expe-
rience and a background in this area? Are they contributing positively to the future of our shelter and the animals? I think not; they have their own agenda. Let us all work towards a good outcome for these little ones. We can start with pushing for public awareness of the necessity of desexing pets. No more backyard breeders, no more 'just letting the cat/dog just have one litter so that the kids can experience it' or because they think it is good for their pet. Make people aware of the consequences of their actions. Make people responsible for their actions. Perhaps the paper might like to make a difference by helping to promote the re-homing work done by the pound and the rescue groups. Karen Willeard, Mt Martha
Pet problems Statistics for pets adopted from the Shire Community Animal Shelter are not good (“Claws bared over Cattery”, The News 2/6/15). According to the April monthly report to the community, only five pets were directly adopted from the shelter. If it were not for staff and volunteers directly liaising with pet rescue groups and vets, the kill rate for unclaimed pets would be closer to 100 per cent. A horrifying fact. Animals at the shelter are not being adopted because prices for adult pets are much higher than other shelters. The first step in direct adoptions is to lower prices and advertise these. The funds are there to have a full time, qualified, onsite hands on kennel supervisor. This supervisor would be used to recruit, train and oversee volunteers, implement and advertise direct adoptions and deal with problems that arise from the daily routine of caring for the animals. This would allow the staff to do their jobs without interruption. Clare Smith [shire environment protection and community safety manager] is wrong about [the shire] having “recently allocated” $250,000 to build the new cattery. This was allocated in last year’s budget. So far, all we have from the architects are concept drawings, in short, only an artist’s impression that takes only a few hours to draft. Volunteers working full time at the shelter are a valuable resource. Thank you to the shire CEO Carl Cowie and the mayor Bev Colomb for meeting with the barred volunteers to try to resolve this situation. The longer this goes on, the more volunteers we lose. This is costing the shire and ratepayers money and extra care for the pets at the shelter. Doris Campbell, member Morninton Peninsula Ratepayers’ & Residents’ Association
Value experience Per Carlson states: “My experience has shown the resident minority groups are dominated by retirees with time to kill” (“Silent challenge”, Letters, The News 2/6/15). While I might agree with a few points made in his letter, I would draw attention to what I see as the reality of the situation regarding “minority” resident groups. Firstly, those who wish to control others often endeavour to keep them so busy that they have no time for (or are prevented from) reflecting on and considering the bigger picture (can’t see the forest for the trees), so the silent majority focus on more immediate personal issues with no spare time to participate in resident groups. Retirees, on the other hand, have lived a life within that realm, amassing much knowledge, experience and wisdom. In retirement one has time to reflect on the past and more fully consider the bigger picture. To denigrate or belittle such elders, as appears to be the intention of the quote, demonstrates a poor understanding of the valuable role in our society’s elders or “retirees with time to kill” play. Gary Naughton, Sorrento
Available data Recently Mornington Peninsula Shire Council voted to spend $50,000 to obtain a report that examined a range of issues associated with the provision of a warm water pool at the Colchester Rd, Rosebud, swimming centre. While the intended outcome may be an admirable, it is quite absurd to pay a consultant to prepare a report that will be based on information and data that it already knows (or should know) or is freely available to it. Would not shire officers just refer to section 189 of the Local Government Act to ascertain how it may form a partnership with the private sector? Should the shire not know what are “best practices” in Local government procurement, given that it does it every day? Could shire officers not speak with Sport and Recreation Victoria directly regarding its Better Pools funding program as a possible source of funds? Does the shire not have internal expertise in respect of sustainable energy, in particular the potential of geothermal techniques for the warm water pool? Given the vast amounts of costly reports that the shire procured as part of the SPA project, surely a review of these documents would provide it with relevant information about what’s necessary for a warm water pool? Would not shire officers speaking directly with the owner operator of the Colchester Rd pool be the most expeditious way for the shire to determine
what infrastructure improvements are needed at the facility? It is all well and good building something, but where is the analysis that clearly demonstrates the demand for a warm water pool? Notwithstanding, if the $50,000 earmarked for the report was actually spent on providing the facilities that were supported by the analysis and recommendation of shire officers, rather than giving more money to a group of consultants (from which a recommendation for capital expenditure would no doubt ensue), there probably would not be too many complaints from the local community. [Shire CEO Carl Cowie sure has his work cut out for him in the real world education of not only his staff, but also our elected councillors. Ian Bennett, Fingal
Learn tip lessons On 2 June, I was among residents who attended a “Have your say” meeting to comment on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new draft strategy on waste disposal and resource recovery. We listened in horror as Rye tip neighbours described the stench, invading litter and pet dogs kept indoors so as to not eat the rubbish dropped by scavenging birds. Why is the shire so adamant on keeping waste on the peninsula by extending Rye tip? Taking it to a nearby established landfill is best practice, is favoured by state government policy and will cost us peanuts. I recall when the shire earmarked the old Pioneer quarry in Dromana as our next tip. Despite the stupidity of dumping rubbish next to Arthurs Seat State Park, we were told it was the only viable option – what a crock that turned out to be. That the Ross Trust’s commercial interests took precedence over the wellbeing of our environment, community, reputation and businesses was scandalous. So why in this latest waste strategy report would the shire again consider Dromana for a “rubbish bulk haul facility”, a site for compacting rubbish for haulage to landfill? That Dromana is “centrally” located is a nonsense – the bulk haul facility won’t be available for residents to bring their trailers. Sure it needs to be accessible for the kerbside rubbish trucks and the outgoing haulage trucks, but mostly it needs to be well away from residences, high season traffic and our state or national parks. Take heed from those who’ve endured the repugnance of Rye tip. Putrescible rubbish does not belong near residences in the Dromana industrial estate, and it certainly does not belong at the old Pioneer quarry site next to our treasured state park (speaking of which, why are we still waiting for its long overdue rehabilitation?)
We have plenty of space on the peninsula. Other municipalities would envy the relatively easy task faced by our council – shut the Rye tip and build a bulk haul facility with state-of-the-art resource recovery well away from towns. One could throw a dart on a map and come up with any number of smarter bulk haul sites than those currently on offer. Mary Karamitsios, Dromana
Recycle, rename The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s waste and resource recovery draft report and newspaper articles mention the Rye Resource and Recovery Centre. Last year, prior to the report being written, l was asked by a council officer as to which groups in Rye should they consult regarding contributing to the draft report. I advised her that there very well may be Rye people who would be interested in being consulted but, as the centre is in Fingal, the residents who actually live adjacent to it - Tootgarook, Boneo and West Rosebud - might be more interested and should be consulted. I can understand how The News repeated the myth that the tip is in Rye, but why the council persists in saying that its resource and recovery centre is at 280 Truemans Rd, Rye, is a mystery to me, when no such address exists on the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning’s website, Melway’s website, Google Maps website and my satnav. Even a 2002 Melway I found in my garage clearly shows the resource and recovery centre is in Fingal, so I believe it well and truly time that it is renamed. Locals all know where it is, but to visitors it must be very confusing. David Trunfull, Rye
Time to stop When will these short-sighted attacks on our natural environment stop? Is it so hard for our elected representatives to understand that a great many thinking people on the Mornington Peninsula and in Victoria are not happy with seeing their green spaces put under ever more pressure? We thought that the Hillcrest Quarry debate was finally settled and our waterways and aquifers where safe from a polluting tip. And the Port of Hastings debate should be once and for all closed by the state government coming out and saying it will not proceed with the destructive proposal of turning Western Port into a mega port. It does not matter if it is a bulk material or a container port; the destruction of these precious world heritage wetlands is un-acceptable. Increased shipping and dredging would be a backwards step for the green and clean image of our Bay. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Cranbourne road fatal accident Compiled by Melissa Walsh
MISS Nellie Jolly, of Frankston, is at present on a holiday in Brisbane, Queensland. *** TRADESMEN are reminded that it is necessary to renew their tobacco licenses on or before 1st July next, thus avoiding trouble. *** MR S. S. Price, dentist, will be in attendance at weekend at Garroods’ Prince of Wales Hotel of June 27th, and July 11th and 25th. *** A meeting of ladies and committee of Frankston Football Club will meet in the Mechanics’ Institute, on Monday evening, for the purpose of taking steps to get up a concert to clear off the debt at present existing on the club. *** THE following names were inadvertently omitted in our last issue as having been collected by means of the monthly collecting cards in aid of the Belgian fund:—Connie Mason 10s 6d, Louie Coxell 3s. *** MR L. Wilding, who is well known on the Peninsula, and has carried on the business of an estate agent, has been accepted as a volunteer for the front, and has received instructions to report himself at Broadmeadows in about ten days. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club will be held in the
Mechanics’ Institute, on Saturday evening next, at 8 o’clock, when members and intending members will be made welcome. The business will be election of officers and routine. *** THE members of the Frankston Progress Association would be pleased to see a large number of willing hands to assist in clearing the rubbish from the reserve in front of the tennis court on Wednesday and Saturday afternoon next. Rakes spades and axes will be needed. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold an unreserved clearing and property sale at Shoreham on Friday next, by order of the executrix of the late Mr John J. Smidt. The property consists of Crown allots in parish of Flinders and a township block in Flinders. The stock, implements and furniture will also he sold. Full particulars are advertised in another column. *** THE drawing for the Eiderdown Quilt given by business people of Frankston, in aid of the distressed Belgians took place in the Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening under the supervision of a committee of Ladies. The winning ticket (No 1023) was held by Mrs Acland, of Camberwell road, Auburn. Nearly 3000 tickets were disposed of at one penny each which speaks well for the energy shown by the hon. secretary (Mr M. Brody) and his assistants. The fund will benefit to the extent of £10 by the effort. The following is
a statement of the receipts and expenditure. —Receipts—Sale of tickets. £12, money collected, 30s; total £13 10. Expenditure—Printing tickets £2; cost of quilt 30s, credit balance £10, total £13 10s. *** A fatal accident occurred on Monday evening on the Cranbourne road, the victim being a farmer, named Patrick Lyons, 52 years of age, residing at Pearcedale. It appears that the deceased, in company with his son, aged about 14 years, and a man named H Smith were returning from the Cranbourne Market half past five in the evening, when about 4 miles on the journey, Lyons sat on a bag of chaff, and jolting of the cart cause, him to fall out over the back. The son tried to assist his father, but the latter told him to let him alone and take the horse and cart home, and when he felt better he would come after him. This the lad did, and the following morning the dead body of Lyons was found by a young man named Savage. The body was conveyed to Frankston, where a post-mortem examination was held by Dr Maxwell, who found that the deceased had met his death by falling in an alcoholic coma. The coroner communicated with but he did not consider that an inquiry was necessary and the body was buried in Cranbourne Cemetery on Thursday afternoon. *** FRANKSTON Red Cross Society.
A public meeting, convened by Mr Brody, was held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Thursday evening, June 17th. There was a large attendance, and Dr Maxwell was voted to the chair. Mr Brody explained his object in calling the meeting was to start a properly organised local committee to raise funds for Red Cross work. A letter to Mrs Deane, from Mr Walter C. Towns, official organiser, Federal Government House, Melbourne, of Australian Branch of the Red Cross Society, was read by Rev Kitchen. It was decided to form a branch to be known as the Frankston Red Cross Society, the Committee of management to consist of 7 ladies. The following names were nominated —Mesdames Kitchen, Jackson, Max- well, O’Grady, H. McComb, Deane, and Miss Watson. The committee are to meet, by kind invitation, at the Vicarage, at 3 p.m, on Saturday, June 19th, to elect officers, collectors and workers. Rev Kitchen, on behalf of St Paul’s Club, promised an entertainment in about 4 weeks, and Mr Brody to arrange an entertainment at an early date. Miss Minnie Frost proposed to form a Girls’ Club, to work for the Frankston Red Cross Branch. Mesdames Maxwell, Walsh, Connell, Deane, and O’Grady promised use of room and sewing machines. The first meeting will be held at Mrs Deane’s residence, on Tuesday
evening, June 22nd, at 8 o’clock, to form their own committee. *** ST Paul’s Club socials are becoming quite popular judging by the attendance at the last two which have been held. On Tuesday night last, the hall was well filled by an expectant audience who, as time went on, got more than they expected. The commotion caused by some at the rear of the hall was disgusting to say the least of it ,and its hoped steps will be taken to have such offensive behavior checked in future. Under the circumstances, the dialogues were thoroughly successful. The stage which was arranged with excellent tastes, was divided into two compartments, on representing a breakfast room and the other a garden. At the concert Mr. W. Cal who was in splendid voice, sang ‘My little home in the West’ and was loudly applauded. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Institute, the following members being present:—Dr Maxwell (in the chair), Rev. G. A. Kitchen, Messrs McComb, Hay, Oates, Richardson, Wheeler, Young, Dalman, Bonner and W. Gregory (hon. sec). The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.

A Grain of Salt As a kid I didn’t mind the odd funeral; meet all the rellies, go to the pub with the men, a lemonade and raspberry, back to Auntie’s house for delicious food. It didn’t hit me till mum died when I was 30, yet after the sadness, shock, loss, I vaguely knew it wasn’t going to happen to me, on the ridiculous assumption older people would precede me. People didn’t like to talk about the dreaded death subject, superstition equal almost to the sex taboo. Yet it’s always there, a subconscious, no escape, by the scruff of the neck clause which nothing can assuage. Eventually I accepted the inevitable on the understanding “so long as I avoid pain”. It doesn’t quite work that way. Life goes on, all appears to be well and good again, and yet when it comes, again, we are so often caught unawares, unprepared, despair, confusion. An uncle joked at countless funerals “I’ll be next” and he was right, at 100. I recall the Jiving contest I entered years ago. In the city, surrounded by a mix of shady characters and enthusiastic innocents. A big prize and a slinky lowlife character judging, watching, purving, every so often tapping a couple on the back; OUT! A shiver down my spine as the mongrel passed. A few weeks ago actors/acquaintances Peter Curtain and Terry Gill copped the tap. A fortnight ago theatricals Bobby Hornery and John Pinder; Wayne, who sat at the table next to me at Maggies, Gary from the RSL. I didn’t win of course, more about lasting as long as possible. “We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the

illusion for the moment that we’re not alone” [Orson Welles]. As an older friend advises: “Ever onwards”. Shivers. Bloody Godot! *** Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen, Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister (Game of Thrones) and Pamela Rabe as the Governor (Wentworth). More nightmares that the witch in The Wizard of Oz. Memories of the schoolyard at Falconer Street Central; keeping clear of female bullies, more frightening than the boys. Staying with Midsomer Murders. *** A devout Christian a devout Moslem; there’s lots of devouts floating about with their head buried in the Alcoran, the Talmud; various bibles. Am I devout? Maybe not, but I did go to church Sundays. Mum’s free time? Four kids, 5 long working days a week and father at war. I found love sitting alongside me in religious instruction, the spark being a female, any female, saying hello. This devout business is confusing. So many parts of our world in chaos as in the previous 2000 years, killings in the name of religion, albeit including wealth and power. Treating people how you would expect them to treat you seems to have gone by the wayside. Mark Twain: “In religion and politics, people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.” A devout Magpie? All hating re-
stricted to eight Melbourne football teams and power hungry politicians who bring in new laws which fail in equity because they hate equality? *** Aside from the continuous silly racism angle (we’re all racist; a question of degree) it comes down to Adam Goodes being a little “over the top” in highlightling matters outside his talented football status. The Age’s Caroline Wilson called on Hawthorn to implore its fans to stop the booing. The Herald Sun’s Mark Robinson and ABC’s Gerard Whateley huffed and puffed. Eddie McGuire’s slip of the tongue in jest, though bad taste, followed by the “hula hula” (war dance?) seemingly to the Carlton supporters. Had Adam ignored the 13 year old would this have happened? I don’t deny his right to self expression but wonder if his 2014 award as Australian of the Year, albeit as always a political appointment, wasn’t the best place to have his say. The booing is from idiots obviously, but the three amigos probably worsened the situation. *** Two years jail for whistleblowers; doctors, teachers on Nauru, and the Border Force Act. Tony’s political agenda: Tough on terrorists, strong on national security and badmouthing all Labor policies equals proven vote winners. Barnaby Joyce “If you don’t have enough evidence to charge somebody with a crime, how can you have enough evidence to take their citizenship away?” A rare sensible comment from Barnaby. Tony’s consistent “national conversation we need to have” is only relevant devoid of criticism, as in “you’re either with us or against

us”. Neo-liberal bordering on fascism, totalitarianism? Not quite, but perhaps closing fast? Not to worry. Our Billy, apparently happy with metadata retention, asylum seekers action and more soldiers for Iraq and Syria, is on the job. Billy who? (The Libs brutal on Sarah Hanson-Young and Gillian Triggs; super soft on Kathy Jackson; why?). Must I vote Greens? *** Our man Danny Andrews is on the job. Too many deaths from traffic accidents, a five-year plan, feedback from all angles. It’s not Danny’s fault he’s never heard of the Mornington Peninsula. Question: A container port at Hastings Danny? Danny: Where is Hastings exactly? Answer: Western side, Mornington Peninsula, Danny.
Danny: Where is the Mornington Peninsula? *** Same sex marriages? Whatever...“Have a talk with your pharmacist-use generic alternatives where appropriate” They crack me up....Apparently it’s OK for the Yanks to have military installations anywhere, but not for China in the South China Sea Islands... Small business grants and 80 per cent approval in the Fairfax-Ipsos poll.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The (mostly) true story of how I challenged a bride to a duel By Stuart McCullough I SUPPOSE I’d gotten used to it. After several decades with the same name, a simple keystroke error means that I am Stuart no more. It was a mistake that, once made, could never be undone. I was reading something on the internet when a message popped up and informed me that if wanted to continue, I would have to log on. Perplexed, I pushed a button and was informed in no uncertain terms that I was not a registered user. Fearing either deportation or having my kneecaps broken, I entered my contact details in the hope that this would cure my illegal status. There was nary a moment to lose. Nervous seconds passed as the computer contemplated whether to accept my plea for clemency before a message appeared: “Welcome Stuatr.� With the damage well and truly done, there was little I could do but accept the facts as they were. There were no grounds for protest or correction. It was as good as carved in stone. In my haste, I had managed to misspell my own name and there was no going back. For years I was Stuart. From this point on, I am Stuatr. Every morning I receive an email addressed to my new name. I have even started to answer to my mutated moniker. Truth is, I’m kind of getting used to it. There are, I think, some battles that are well and truly worth fighting. Others, however, invite surrender. It’s time to forsake the old nomenclature and embrace my new identity as Stuatr. Most people only get a new identity after ratting on the mob and in fear of their lives. I should count myself lucky. Clearly, I’ve got work to do. Al-
ready I’ve amended my university degrees using nothing more than an extra-sturdy texta. Next, I plan to take a small strip of masking tape and place it over the front of my credit cards and
driving licence. All I need to do now is convince others to abandon my old name and accept the new. If Cassius Clay can become Muhammed Ali, then surely I can become Stuatr.
If that should prove too difficult, I can always adapt. I have no problem providing a little guidance by calling myself Stuatr (nee Stuart) or, for that matter, the Artist Formerly Known as Stuart. Frankly, I’ve never been that wild about my name anyway. My parents lacked creativity. I would have loved to have had a better, cooler name, like Thor or Snoop Dogg, but it wasn’t to be. Instead, I was lumbered with Stuart, which is far too prone to undignified shortening. “Stu� should only ever be a kind of meal and the less said about the horror that is “Stuballs�, frankly, the better. I find the latter deeply unflattering, but have been subjected to it at moments when I least expected. Not long after I had started seeing Kate, we were invited to the wedding of one of her closest friends, Bec. Actually, it’s more complicated than that. Originally, only Kate had been invited. It was a little too early and I was regarded, if not with suspicion, then certainly as an unknown quantity. However, closer to the big day the situation must have been subject to reappraisal and, all of a sudden, I was invited. My mission was clear. As ever at the early stage of a relationship, it’s important to be able to attend these marquee events without falling over, vomiting or otherwise doing anything else that would have the effect of bringing a fledgling romance to a screeching halt. We had to get to the ceremony on time. This was crucial for a number of reasons, including that Kate was to be giving a reading. At weddings, you need to be quite judicious about where you sit. Too far up the back and you can barely see or hear anything.
Sit right up the front and you displace members of the immediate family who are then likely to gossip about your thoughtlessness for the rest of the evening. We chose somewhere about the middle and near the aisle. The ceremony was lovely and Kate did a great job at the reading, although I would have preferred something from the Bible or some poetry rather than an excerpt from Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, but it was wonderful nevertheless. The bride and groom kissed and the entire room applauded. As the couple walked down the aisle, they were greeted by well-wishers. As someone who was invited by association, I knew to keep a sensible distance. But as the bride passed by, she leaned over and said, “Thanks for coming, Stu-balls�. Outraged, I knocked over several members of the immediate family before inviting the bride to take it outside to the car park. Given that this was a reception centre, the car park was unusually large, meaning that we would be able to stand at opposite ends without the need for any kind of physical confrontation whatsoever. It was probably just as well. Hand-to-hand combat with the bride may have fatally cruelled my chances of getting cake. Ever since that day, I have wanted to change my name. Now, as fate would have it, that’s exactly what’s happened. Given my time over, I would have gone for something a little more exciting, but those with poor typing skills can’t be choosers. But, if nothing else, no one’s ever going to call me “Stuatr-balls�. Thank goodness for that. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Hillmen sink to a new low NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt RED Hill has dropped to fourth place on the ladder after losing its third game in succession in embarrassing fashion on Saturday. For the second match in a row, Red Hill failed to score in the second and third quarters after leading at quarter time. That means that the Hillmen have failed to hit the scoreboard in four of its past six quarters. Red Hill kicked a goal after the quarter time siren through a ripper from Benny McGuiness on the boundary line to give the visitors a 4.3 (27) to 1.5 (11) lead. However, the Hillmen didn’t trouble the scorers again for the next 49 minutes, when they scored a rushed behind. It wasn’t until the 13 and a half minute mark of the last quarter that Red Hill kicked their fifth goal. They kicked two on the trot before Rosebud kicked the last two of the match to win 21.14 (140) to 6.5. (41). Embarrassing isn’t a term that footballers would like to be labelled after a game of footy. Witches hats would be even more offensive I suspect. However, that’s the only way to describe the Hillmen’s performance. They simply gave up half way through the second quarter. Red Hill gave it their all early in the third quarter too but when Rosebud hit the scoreboard again, down went their heads. It’s easy to point the finger at the coach after these horrible losses and question their ability to have strategies the stop the onslaught. However, as Red Hill coach Tony Blackford pointed out, he is almost powerless to respond to pressure. “I asked for effort. That’s all I wanted from the boys today across four quarters. At quarter time, I couldn’t have been happier with their output,”
Feeling the pinch: Tyabb had a tough day at the office going down to Hastings by a thumping 224 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst
said Blackford. “However, when the blow torch got turned on them in the second quarter, the effort disappeared. They had no fight in them. You’re right, they just gave up. “I might be wrong but I think that (effort and desire) comes from the individual, not something the coach can manufacture. “Rosebud were superb, take nothing away from them. Their hunger and appetite for every contest was first class. We just folded and let them take control,” a shattered Blackford said. While the big story was Red Hill’s pathetic performance, the positive spin was Rosebud’s absolute domination. The Buds booted 20.9 to 2.2 after quarter time. Tom Baker booted eight
goals in the final three quarters to again be the dominant player on the ground. Greg Bentley was magnificent leading out of the attacking 50 and Jason Bristow, Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft smashed the Hillmen through the middle of the ground. The Rosebud small forwards in Cade Williams (four goals) and Glen Peterson (two goals) were also a nuisance while Keegan Downie was the best player on the ground in the first half and finished with three goals. Off half back, Nick Boswell had his own footy. The only negative for the Buds was the broken jaw suffered by Rob Forrest late in the second quarter. He was dominating to that point. A very happy Rosebud coach Nick Jewell said after the game that the
key for his side was pressure. “When we played Red Hill the first time they had 108 marks. Today they had 44,” said Jewell. “The key for us was to put pressure on their ball carriers and make it hard for them to kick cleanly. “We had 60 tackles to their 40-odd, despite winning comfortably, so it showed we still worked hard even when we were in control. “Adversely, Red Hill had 20 tackles in the first quarter, which is their quota, before having 11, 9 and 9 in the next three quarters. “That says it all,” Blackford said. “We chased tail all afternoon but still couldn’t work hard enough to lay tackles. It was very disappointing.” Despite saying before the game that scrapping is his team’s strategy, the Buds clearly showed they have a sen-
sational ability to attack. If I was coaching Rosebud and the armoury that they possess, I’d be encouraging them to move the ball quickly like they did against Red Hill. It was the best brand of footy yours truly has seen this season. Crib Point’s season is officially over after it went down to Devon Meadows 11.14 (80) to 11.10 (76). The Panthers kicked away in the second quarter and held off a fast finishing Magpies in the last. Meadows’ coach Glenn Michie led from the front with five goals in a best on ground performance. Rye maintained its position on top of the ladder with a hard fought 16.18 (114) to 13.8 (86) victory against Dromana. Dromana led 32 to 16 at quarter time but Rye hit back in the second and were never headed. Ryan Mullet and Brodie Egan dominated for the Demons while Sammy Guerts and Shaun Clarke were superb for the Tigers. Sorrento got back on the winners’ list with a 14.15 (99) to 6.7 (43) victory against Pearcedale. Leigh Poholke booted six to be one of the team’s best while Leigh Treeby dominated. In further good news for the Sharks, Myles Pitt will be back in two weeks, cutting back his overseas trip by six weeks. Somerville put a couple of horrid weeks off the field behind them with a strong four quarter effort against Frankston Bombers. The Eagles set up the win with a seven goal to two second quarter. Scott Simpson booted four goals for the winners while Beau Muston kicked five for the Bombers. In the final game Luke Clark booted nine goals and Dale Alanis six as Hastings kicking a whopping 38.23.251 to Tyabb’s 4.3.27. Hastings had 16 different goal kickers.
MPNFL apologises to clubs – clubs bite back By Toe Punt THREE weeks after going into hiding over the bungled Play Points System (PPS), the Mornington Peninsula Football League has finally apologised. In a statement sent by league CEO Jeff Jones on Saturday afternoon, the league “acknowledge that the ruling made in relation to David Hirst was incorrect and apologise for the mistake that has been made at the MPNFL Administration level with the Player Points System. We further extended our apologies to the player, the clubs and their committees”. The statement also tried to clarify the ruling that was handed down by the Independent Tribunal. The statement read: Section 6 (a) Not Applicable Mr Hirst has not remained at his present MPNFL clubs for 2 years. If Mr Hirst plays for Somerville next year, there will be a deduction of 1 point. Specifically, we reject Somerville’s contention that 2 years is satisfied by Mr Hirst playing for Somerville in the 2011 and 2014 seasons. If this
PAGE 58
Mornington News 16 June 2015
interpretation were to be adopted the remained with his present MPNFL club would be redundant. Section 6(b) Not Applicable as Mr Hirst was first registered for Karingal Section 6 (c) Not Applicable Section 6 (d) Not Applicable (assuming that Mr Hirst was not notified as Somerville Exemption Player for the 2015) Section 6 (e) Not Applicable Section 8 Not Applicable You then can replace the players name and club when accessing this section against other players. However, despite the apology and explanation, clubs maintain that the ruling was still blatantly wrong. Rosebud Football Club secretary Anthony Matthews said while he welcomed the statement from the league he and other clubs (Dromana and Red Hill specifically) were still firmly of the view that the MPNFL and the Qualifying Committee have completely misinterpreted the MPNFL Player Points System 2010 (PPS). “In particular we disagree with the determination that Section 6b of the
PPS does not apply to the example player in question and as a result believe that the example player in question is a 3 point player,” Matthews wrote. The logic for this is outlined below: For ease of reference Section 6b of the PPS states: A player shall revert to a base player points rating if he returns to the club at which he was first registered as an MPNFL player. The player will return to the appropriate higher premium points level should he transfer to another MPNFL club within a 3 year period. Taking this into account, the following logic clearly demonstrates that Section 6b is relevant to the example player and therefore results in this player being designated as a 3 point player: In 2009 he was first registered with Karingal – at that time he was a 1 point player. In 2011 he was cleared to Somerville – pursuant to Section 5 he became a 3 point player (ie. 1 base point + 2 points for playing 6 senior games at another MPNFL club).
In 2012 he was cleared to Karingal – pursuant to the first limb of Section 6b he reverted to “… base player points rating if he returns to the club at which he was first registered as an MPNFL player.” and therefore became a 1 point player (ie. he returned to the Karingal which was the MPNFL club at which he was registered). In 2014 he was cleared to Somerville – pursuant to the second limb of Section 6b he returned “… to the appropriate higher premium points level” because at this time he transferred to another MPNFL club within a 3 year period. Accordingly at this time he became a 3 point player. As of today he has not completed 2 seasons with Somerville and therefore a 1 point deduction under Section 6ai is not applicable (as agreed by the MPNFL & Qualifying Committee). As of today he remains a 3 point player. “I have discussed this logic with Graham Stelling (Dromana) and Chris Rye (Red Hill) and we are all of the same opinion that the example
player in question is a 3 point player,” Matthews said. “In addition to failing to correctly apply Section 6b of the PPS – and therefore incorrectly determining the points which apply to the player in question – it follows from this that the determination by the MPNFL and Qualifying Committee: Is completely inconsistent with the approach that we understand Clubs and the MPNFL have applied to date in relation to Section 6 of the Guidelines – from the time of its inception until the recent airing of the issues surrounding the player in question. Seriously compromises the integrity of the MPNFL competition. This arises for because Clubs could, by mutual agreement, clear any player that is currently a 2 or 3 point player (by virtue of having attracted premium points from having previously played at another MPNFL Club) to another MPNFL Club, have that clearance approved and then prior to the next game have Continued Next Page
MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard
MPNFL apologises cont. that player cleared back to their Club. In these circumstances, and applying the incorrect logic of the MPNFL and Qualifying Committee, the player/s in question would revert to a base 1 point. I see nothing in the AFL or MPNFL Rules or By-Laws that was prevent Clubs from taking this course of action. We seek a prompt explanation from the MPNFL – and by not later than midday on Tuesday 16th June – as to whether the combined effect of the first and second limbs of Section 6b of the PPS was specifically taken into account by the MPNFL, Qualifying Committee and MPNFL solicitor in making the determination in relation to the example player in question, and: If not we request that the Qualifying Committee be re-constituted by no later than Wednesday 17th June to re-consider the allocation of points to the player in question and for the MPNFL to communicate in writing the outcome of that re-consideration – together with a detailed explanation as to the reasons for the determination – to all Nepean & Peninsula League clubs by no later than 4 pm on Thursday 18th June. If so why, we request that the MPNFL communicate in writing to all Nepean & Peninsula League Clubs by no later than midday on Thursday 18th June the reasons why the MPNFL, Qualifying Committee and MPNFL solicitor determined that the second limb of Section 6b of the PPS did not apply to the player in question. For absolute clarity I repeat that the pursuit of this issue is entirely driven by a desire to protect the integrity of the MPNFL competition and is in no way intended as an attack on the Somerville Football Netball Club who, there can be no question, have been seriously and inexcusably let down by the MPNFL administration. There is little question that despite the league communication, this issue will continue for some time to come.
16 in Victoria squads By Toe Punt THE MPNFL has 16 players who have been invited to train in the Victoria Country One and Two squads. The following players have been selected in the Initial 39-man Victoria Country Squad to play VAFA: Rob Forrest (Rosebud), Dylan Jones (Bonbeach), Brett O’Hanlon (Edi-Asp), Lachy Wallace (YCW), Warrick Miller (Mornington), Sam Gill (Mt Eliza), Justin Van Unen (Mt Eliza), Guy Hendry (Pines), Luke Potts (Pines). Van Unen is an interesting one considering he didn’t play in the Championships. Forrest broke his jaw for Rosebud on Saturday and will not be considered. The Vic Country No.2 49-man Squad was released with seven Nepean Players - Leigh Poholke, James Hallahan (Sorrento), Adam Kirkwood, Dean Millhouse, Kris Bardon (Rye), Luke Clark (Hastings), Dean Warry (Crib Point). There were 8 South East (former Casey-Cardinia) Players selected. The squad will be trimmed in the coming weeks. They’ll play in Bendigo also on July 11.
Doggies win a thriller PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN lost its second game on the trot by less than a kick after it went down to Mornington by one point on Saturday. Leading by eight points at half time and seven points at three quarter time, the Kangas gave up the lead in the last quarter before regaining it midway through the term. Both the Dogs and Kangas traded goals at the close of the quarter before Mornington full back Adam Symes was sent forward and became the difference between the sides. The Dogs won 11.7 (73) to 11.6 (72). Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said that Symes took a couple of telling marks and kicked a goal in the last quarter. He said it was definitely one of the key reasons Mornington was able to get the points. “We gave Symes best on ground for Mornington. He was good in defence and was a key for them in the last when he was moved forward,” Artico said. “Mornington was also a bit cleaner coming out of the stoppages, which when you boil it down, was the significant difference between the sides.” Artico said that he couldn’t have been happier with the team’s effort. “Both sides played some cracking footy and I thought it was a really even contest. “We lost the game I know and by a point is a bitter pill to swallow but it was much easier to handle knowing we gave it everything. “At a minimum 95 per cent of the team had an impact on the game. As a coach, you can’t ask for more than that.” Artico did concede though that the team’s inconsistency had put them in a tough position. “Other than Mt Eliza, which kicked away from us in junk time, we have been right in games. We had Edithvale covered before we allowed them back in and drew. Last week we had Chelsea where we wanted them before some discipline issues cost us. We had our chances in Saturday’s game. “We win those three tight ones and we’re in third place and almost assured of a finals place. “What we do know is that we are right in the mix. We improve our consistency, get the little things right, improve our ability to grasp what we’re trying to do and get our best players on the park and I’m confident we can cause some damage,” Artico said. Rikki Johnston was Langwarrin’s best player. He is playing the best football of his career, according to Artico. “I have had the fortune of watching Rikki for a lot of years now and I have no problems saying he’s in career-best form. “I also had the privilege of playing alongside one of the best I’ve seen in Brendan Long. I think Rikki has him covered,” Artico said. Pines took a major step in its development this season, beating the previously undefeated Mt Eliza by seven points. Pines overcame a 22 point quarter time deficit to boot 13 of the next 18 goals and go in at three

quarter time with a 20 point break. Mt Eliza came home hard in the last but the Pythons managed to hang-on to a 17.12 (114) to 15.17 (107) victory. Pines’ coach Pat Swayne said despite trailing at quarter time and being held goalless, his team did miss three goals from set shots and “were right in the contest”. “I thought we went toe to toe with them in the first quarter despite being four goals to none,” Swayne said. “After quarter time, we kicked 17.6 to 11.13, so we were able to turn it around.” Pines’ ability to win the game despite being two rotations down for most of the second half was a super performance. “We played Adam Maling on Scott Lockwood and Adam was struggling with an ankle – we just had to keep him out there. “Corey Ash has been good for us in the backline this year too and he had a bout of gastro. He had it before the game but we played him and really shouldn’t have. “And Paul McLean-Wilson popped a calf or Achilles, so we didn’t have him either.” Aaron Edwards played as a high half forward and through the middle and booted five goals. He was the best player on the ground. Billy Humphries, a gifted teenager and out-
standing junior, didn’t do a pre-season but came into the side and played a midfield role. Billy too was superb. “We talked about the loss of Jimmy Messina (out for the season with a knee) and how important he is to us and Billy was able to come in and play that role for us. His fitness base is up now and I have no doubt he’ll improve as the season develops,” Swayne said. Justin Van Unen kicked seven goals for the Redlegs. He has 53 goals from eight games at an average of 6.62 per game. “He’s like a cat at ground level. I remember Jason ‘Super’ Marsh at Seaford, who, despite being a sensational mark, would recover quicker than any backman at ground level. “JV is the same – he’s a super player.” In other games, Chelsea coach Brent Guerra booted seven goals in Chelsea’s 23.18 (156) to 6.6 (42) win against Karingal. David Bodley and Anthony Bruhn kicked five goals each and Craig Nankervis and Scott Macleod dominated as Frankston YCW belted Bonbeach 21.13 (139) to 4.8 (32). Edithvale-Aspendale beat Seaford 20.18 (138) to 12.13 (85) with Jarrod Garth booting six goals and Matt Meehan five while Timmy Mannix was at his brilliant best.

E L A S E C N A R A CLE ACROSS THE RANGE!
New Corolla Hatch: More style, sharper dynamics, less fuel TOYOTA has revamped the styling, driving enjoyment and features of its Corolla hatch while improving fuel economy across the range. An extensive exterior redesign introduces two distinctive new looks to the hatch versions of Australia’s best-selling car, increasing Corolla’s appeal to a wider range of customers. Ascent and Ascent Sport grades receive a classic European-inspired outline while the higher SX and ZR grades adopt a sportier character that incorporates a body kit. Corolla’s more dynamic exterior proportions are complemented by interior upgrades including new audio systems, suspension refinements focused on ride comfort and efficiency gains that cut fuel use by as much as 7.6 per cent. Sensory quality in the cabin has been raised with a cleaner design for the dash panel and centre console along with new instrument gauges, fresh upholstery and satin chromeplated ornaments. Corolla Ascent hatch is now fitted with a reversing camera, making it standard across the entire Corolla range. The camera’s image is dis-
played on new touch-screen monitors that are also used to operate the upgraded audio system. The new designs, added equipment and engineering updates are accompanied by price increases of just $300 on Ascent and Ascent Sport while top-of-the-line ZR is reduced by $1,000, or more than 3.3 per cent. SX prices remain steady. Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the latest updates will give Corolla a decisive competitive edge and strengthen its claim to a third consecutive year as Australia’s best-selling car. “Corolla hatch customers now have a clear choice between two compelling new designs: classic or sporty – both of which deliver a greater presence and visually broader stance,” Mr Cramb said. “Buyers will also be attracted by a more stylish interior, under-the-skin tweaks that dial up the fun-to-drive factor and lower fuel consumption that will result in an even lower cost of ownership,” he said.
