Way ahead FOUR local climate reality ambassador leaders attended training on how to give presentations highlighting the urgency to act to combat climate change.

Climate of change Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FORMER prime minister Kevin Rudd called it “the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time� but failed to meet the challenge, avoiding the reality of dealing with climate change for political reasons.

ments around the world to reduce carbon emissions to tackle climate change. The four climate reality ambassadors are available to give presentations on how a sustainable future can still be attained by making a global shift from dirty fossil fuels to clean, renewable energies like solar and wind. Ms Kellett, a 51-year-old mother of three, said she took governments’ inaction on climate change “personally.� “As a mother I make no apology in

taking this very personally,� she said. “If it is the business of future generations, then it is my business too.� “The training we received with the Climate Reality Project was anything but doomsday. It informed us regarding the many ways that we can address climate change, both as global humanity and as Australians.� Visit www.climaterealityproject. org to book a presentation by a local climate reality ambassador.

Fisheries officers net greedy angler FISHERIES officers will charge a man with catching more than the legal limit of grass whiting from Flinders pier. Acting on a tipoff, the officers watched the man as he reeled in fish after fish, before finally booking him for having 101 grass whiting, 81 more than the daily bag limit. Senior fisheries officer Rod Barber said the man, 52, was seen to catch more than the daily limit in two hours. “The officers then observed the man pack the fish into a plastic bag, walk off the pier and place the bag into the boot of his car,” Mr Barber said. “The man then walked back to the pier, resumed fishing and allegedly took another 12 grass whiting. At this point the Fisheries Officers intercepted the man and inspected his car.” Mr Barber said the officers found 89 grass whiting in the boot bringing his total catch to 101, “more than five times the daily bag limit for that species”. The man will be charged on summons with exceeding the daily bag limit for grass whiting and will appear in the Frankston Magistrates Court at a later date. “This is a great example of how accurate and timely reporting of illegal fishing activity can help us to ensure the sustainability of the state’s fisheries,” Mr Barber said. “This kind of behaviour is unacceptable and shows a blatant disregard for our valuable natural resources in Victoria.”

Reports of illegal fishing can be made to the 13 34 74 hotline.  As part of a crackdown on illegal fishing, investigations by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority led to the conviction last week of two South Australian fishermen. The men were fined $36,000 for falsifying catch returns to hide shark catch from AFMA and dodge quota limits during the 2012 season. In April, a third fisherman was fined $2000 for his involvement in the scam. “Illegal fishing activity undermines the integrity of management measures in place to ensure fish stocks are harvested sustainably, the fishing industry remains viable and importantly, that fish resources will be there for future generations,” AFMA general manager of fisheries operations Peter Venslovas said. Suspected illegal fishing or blackmarket fish supply can be reported to 1800 274 634.

Midden protection FENCES will be built to protect Aboriginal middens found on the foreshore near Williams Rd, Mt Eliza. The fences will stop unauthorised access to the midden site and protect it from encroaching vegetation. Mornington MP David Morris said the state government would give $3565 to the Mt Eliza Association for Environmental Care (MEAFEC) to carry out the work.

Cold blast

IT wasn’t quite snow but it might as well have been as the peninsula copped a savage blast of icy conditions over the weekend. After one of the mildest winters on record, peninsula residents received a nasty reminder of just how cold a “proper” Melbourne winter can be, with the mercury plunging to 16-year lows. Thursday’s sleet storm produced the starkest images of the wintry cold snap, with roads including Peninsula Link turned white by a blanket of snow-like ice, offset by menacing black skies. But the accompanying temperatures were almost balmy compared to what was to follow. Ironically, it was the clear skies over the weekend that brought the coldest conditions, with temperatures plunging to close to 0 degrees. Officially, the temperature hit 2.7 in Frankston and Mornington on Sunday morning - the lowest recording this century - though many household thermometers suggested it was even cooler. Unofficially, all agreed it was “bloody cold”. Picture: James Trevellyan

Guns of Fort Nepean mark WWI centenary the task. They acted swiftly, professionally and decisively – they did exactly what was expected of them.” The First Shot Committee, which includes the Sorrento-Portsea RSL, Parks Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt and state MP for Nepean Martin Dixon MLA), with support from Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Australian Defence Force, was established to promote the historical significance of the event. Mr Hunt said the 100th anniversary was “momentous occasion” that provided an opportunity for reflection on Australia and Victoria’s involvement in the war while honouring those who served. “All of the military personnel involved on that day performed their duties commendably,” he said. “None would have had any idea then how irrevocably the world had changed, even as the echoes of their fateful shot reverberated through the remote coastal fort. “We have every reason to be proud of the bravery and courage of our Australian troops. It is because of their efforts that we are able to gather as members of a free, peaceful and prosperous nation.” He commended “everyone who has been involved in bringing this commemorative event to life”, in particular Major Gaynor, “whose passion and enthusiasm has driven this project from the start”. Tuesday’s 100th anniversary commemoration coincides with the opening of a new $350,000 tourist “experience” at Fort Nepean that aims to enhance the telling of Point Nepean’s unique place in history. At the same time, a campaign has been launched to restore the gun that fired the first shot to full working order and find locate and retrieve the shell from the bottom of Port Phillip.

Search mission: Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan, documentary film maker Terry Cantwell, Roger Daly and Ted Baillieu with Mount Eliza Secondary College students Harry Maxwell and Josh Daly.

Quest for first shot fires up THE mission to recover the shell fired from Fort Nepean across the bow of the SS Pfalz marking the first shot fired by the British Empire in World War I is gathering momentum, with interest and support for the project steadily building ahead of next year’s Anzac Day centenary commemorations. More than 120 people last week attended a Project Longshot information session in Mt Eliza during which were technical issues concerning the recovery effort were discussed and historical anecdotes from 1914 shared. Among the participants of the two-hour presentation at Ranelagh Club last Saturday was former premier Ted Baillieu – the current chair of the Victorian Anzac Day Committee – who

spoke about his passion for Melbourne’s history and the global significance of the first shot fired from the Point Nepean. Mount Eliza Secondary College students Harry Maxwell and Josh Daly presented an information display on the first shot, the centrepiece for which was a wooden replica shell Josh made recently with his grandfather, Roger Daly. Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan outlined efforts to recover the shell and the technical difficulties dive crews faced searching for a small object in such a vast area of water. Mr Ryan is founder of Southern Ocean Exploration, Australia's most successful shipwreck discovery team.

THE guns of Fort Nepean are set to ring out again on Tuesday to commemorate one hundred years to day that the first shot of the British Empire in World War I was fired. Dozens of dignitaries, including Victorian Governor Alex Chernov, state and federal politicians, armed forces representative and the families of the servicemen manning the Fort Nepean guns in 1914, will be joined by hundreds of visitors for a special commemorative event at Point Nepean to mark the outbreak of WWI. The event on 5 August has been organised by the First Shot Committee in recognition of the pivotal role played by the peninsula on the opening day of the Great War. On that day in 1914, the Coastal Artillery Gun Emplacement No 6 at Fort Nepean fired a single warning shot across the bow of the German merchant vessel SS Pfalz, preventing its escape from Port Phillip Bay to the freedom of the open sea. The shot, at 12.45pm, came just thee hours and 45 minutes after war was declared in London (at 11pm on 4 August London time or 9am on Wednesday 5 August, Melbourne time) and represented the first hostilities between the British Empire and Germany of WWI. First Shot Committee chairman, Major Bernie Gaynor from the Royal Australian Artillery, said the shot marked the opening salvo in a conflagration that brought four years of untold suffering and sacrifice and indelibly set the course of world history. “Of all the hundreds of millions of rounds of all calibres that were fired over the next four long, hard, sad years by the member nations of the British Empire, in a war whose grim ferocity consumed and affected so very many Australian lives, the shot fired from Gun Emplacement No 6 was the very first,” Major Gaynor said. “Under extreme pressure and in never before experienced circumstances – the start of a world war – Australian gunners showed they were up to

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Wearing a way to jobs success PREPARING for a job interview can be nerve wracking, especially for those who may have been out of work for a lengthy period of time. Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula has reopened its doors in Frankston to help unemployed women return to employment. The not-for-profit organisation relies on donations and grants to offer specialised advice on how to dress for success at job interviews. They can even provide business attire. General manager Helen McLean said Frankston Council had helped relocate the Dress for Success boutique from Keys St after a flood there to Bayside Shopping Centre. She said Dress for Success had helped more than 3000 women and school leavers over six years find work by improving their job-readiness and interview skills. “Our mission is to help the long-term unemployed and socially disadvantaged have the confidence to get back to work,” Ms McLean said. Clients are referred to Dress for Success from agencies such as Centrelink. Ms McLean said “mock interviews” prepared job applicants for the real thing. The organisation was forced to shut its Rosebud office last year due to a lack of funds. Ms McLean said donations of business clothes or money were vital and appreciated. Dress for Success still offers support for peninsula clients and often visit peninsula schools to give careers advice. The Dress for Success boutique is now open at Shop 3 Balmoral Walk, Bayside Shopping Centre, Frankston. Visit www.dressforsuccess.org/morningtonpeninsula or call 9770 0220.

Skin cancer scare a life changing journey Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au WHEN Jay Allen discovered he had a melanoma skin cancer, it was a lifechanging moment. But the 39-yearold father of four is now glad he still has a life to change. Mr Allen and fellow skin cancer survivor Andrew Rust completed a charity walk from Sydney to Melbourne last week to raise money for the Melanoma Institute to fund melanoma cure research. Mr Allen shared his story at a talk at Frankston’s Peninsula Skin Cancer Clinic and told The News the walk was part of his personal cancer survival journey. It was 2008 when the former truck driver noticed a mole on his left ankle had begun to “scab up and bleed when scratched”. Being a truckie he thought his work boots had been rubbing against the mole and dismissed it as a nothing much to worry about. Luckily, his wife Janine was not so blasé. She insisted he see a doctor after the “scab” did not heal after several months. Mr Allen was then stunned to discover his mole had developed into a skin cancer. A follow-up visit to a specialist and surgery to remove the leg melanoma confirmed the cancer had spread to lymph nodes in his groin. The moment Mr Allen was told the cancer had metasised was featured on Channel 9’s RPA TV show, filmed at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. “It was a scary time and I was really worried when I was told the cancer

had spread to other parts of my body,” Mr Allen said. Sydney Melanoma Clinic plastic surgeon Dr Michael Quinn told Mr Allen that the survival rate for patients with advanced melanoma “is not very good” and sixty per cent would be alive within five years of diagnosis. Thankfully, the cancer had not spread further but Mr Allen had to wait several agonising weeks before being given the “all clear” after lymph

nodes in his groin were removed. After his cancer scare, Mr Allen decided to become involved in helping others deal with the confronting nature of melanoma diagnosis. He co-founded a patients’ support network for melanoma patients in Sydney and is now a full-time community campaign coordinator at the Melanoma Institute. “There’s no cure for advanced melanoma and I wanted to give something

back to those who had saved my life by also trying to raise as much money as possible for medical resources,” he said. “If the cancer came back, I didn’t want to die alone after years of driving a truck.” A support crew of nine supported Mr Allen and Mr Rust in their 900 kilometre walk in 15 days from Sydney to Melbourne. The duo’s efforts have raised more than $150,000 for

research to hopefully find a cure for advanced melanoma. Mr Allen said the pair had been “rapt” at the support shown by everyone they met on their long walk that ended at the MCG during the halftime break of the AFL game between Hawthorn and Sydney on Saturday 26 July. Motorists “honked their horns” in support and many stopped to chat and donated money along the way. The Peninsula Skin Cancer Clinic in Frankston donated $5000 to the campaign and performed 900 skin checks, one for each kilometre Mr Allen and Mr Rust walked, in the fortnight. “Jay and Andrew’s walk has really helped raised awareness of the importance of early detection in the prevention of melanoma,” PSCC melanographer Sue Dixon said. Ms Dixon said 18 melanomas had been detected in the 900 skin checks they performed, adding to the average annual total of 300 melanomas detected at the centre each year. Mr Allen thanked Ms Dixon and staff at the PSCC for their support. “It’s so important for people to get their skin checked out at a proper skin clinic at least once a year,” he said. “I would never have had my leg looked at if my wife hadn’t nagged me about it and saved my life.” Mr Allen said his wife’s “nagging” was a perfect example of the truth of the saying: “Happy wife, happy life.” See www.peninsulaskincancercentre.com.au for skin check details and www.everydayhero.com.au/ event/900KMFORACURE2014 to donate money for melanoma cure research.

Time to comment, but not change, point plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE state government is inviting public feedback on a $100 million tourism plan at Point Nepean already endorsed by Premier Denis Napthine. Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith announced on 31 July that the “public consultation period” for the plan was open until 28 August. Although calling for public comment, the government has not committed itself to making any changes to the proposal, which now needs planning approval by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Mr Smith said the plan would “transform the iconic Point Nepean Quarantine Station into a world-class tourist destination and education precinct”. The successful proposal by Point Leisure Group – run by Myer family members Richard and Trine Shelmerdine – includes a hotel, thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre, accommodation including both luxury and camping styles, shops, cafes, restaurants and a heritage museum and jetty. An earlier version of the adopted plan seen by The News shows triangular-shaped luxury “retreats” near Cheviot Beach and close to Point Nepean, as well as a large circular bathing pool inside of the Quarantine Station precinct. The Victorian National Parks Association said questions that should be answered by the government include the length of the lease for the Quar-

antine Station area and how much rent Point Leisure Group will pay. “The Napthine government has changed the National Parks Act to allow for 99-year leases in national parks, which is tantamount to private ownership. Is this what is proposed for Point Nepean?” VNPA executive director Matt Ruchel said. “In the United States, best practice for proposed commercial uses in national parks is to require a substantial bond. We understand that this is an amount up to the value of the development – that is, if the development is valued at $100 million, the bond is also $100 million. “Many of the buildings there will have uses that are not available to the general public, but are only for people who have paid to be there. Will the

public still be able to enjoy the site's natural and cultural heritage freely, or will they have to pay?” Nepean MP Martin Dixon said issues raised by the VNPA were “still in discussion as part of the proposal put forward by The Point Leisure Group”. “The Point Leisure Group have made an offer in their Request for Proposal which includes rent, term of lease and management responsibilities. “DEPI [Department of Environment and Primary Industries] will be discussing the full terms with PLG in the coming months to reach a final agreement. “By working in partnership with the private sector, we can support a yearround, vibrant tourism destination with a range of uses that preserve and enhance the experience of key historic

buildings and the rich history of the Quarantine Station.” Mr Dixon said the development meant the level of public access to the Quarantine Station area would be “unprecedented in its history” with the continuation of “all existing events and activities … as well as a range of new ones”. “This project is unlocking a large area of public land that can be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike for many years to come,” he said. Mr Dixon said the Point Leisure Group’s plan “follows stringent guidelines that will protect and enhance the local environment, coastline and historic buildings”. “This vision will also bring a huge boost to the Mornington Peninsula and the state’s economy, with up to 220

jobs to be generated during construction, and up to a further 390 ongoing jobs.” Mr Ruchel warned there was a “huge risk” of private developments growing, “especially if they are within the 99-year lease period. Ninety-nine years is a very long time - more than 24 election cycles”. He said the draft master plan for Point Nepean included a jetty in the Ticonderoga Bay dolphin sanctuary. “This jetty would damage critical seagrass habitat for the resident Burrunan dolphins as well as many other marine species that rely on this underwater area for their homes,” Mr Ruchel said. “The Napthine government argues that the Quarantine Station is falling down and not widely used by the public at present. “It omits to tell people that the Commonwealth only handed over the station to the Victorian government in 2009, just five years ago. “The government has put a lot of effort into attempting to sell off the heritage precinct, rather than trying to make it 'work' and attract visitors as it is.” Mr Ruchel said the VNPA opposed “private enclaves with 99-year leases within publicly owned parks that restrict access for the general public and are an ongoing threat to the protection of the natural values of the parks”. The tourism plan can be viewed on the DEPI website or at the Point Nepean Quarantine Station visitor centre. An open day at the site will be held by Point Leisure Group, DEPI and Parks Victoria 23 August.

Masquerade ball to tackle sex slavery A CHARITY organization working to protect Cambodians girls from sex trafficking is hosting a masquerade ball in Mornington next Saturday to raise funds to expand its program. Free To Shine is a humanitarian organisation founded in Australia that works in collaboration with communities and local governments in Cambodia to protect vulnerable girls. CEO Nicky Mih said Free To Shine strived to help Cambodian girls reach their full potential by ensuring they had the opportunity to attend school. The organisation’s team in Cambodia works in 15 rural villages with girls who have been at risk of being targeted by sex traffickers. So far, Free To Shine has assisted 176 girls to attend school in rural Cambodia and it is hoped a further 16 girls will soon join them thanks to funds to be raised from the masquerade ball. “This is a great opportunity for people on the Mornington Peninsula to share a fun evening with all the proceeds going to enrol more girls into Free To Shine’s scholarship program,” Ms Mih said. Entertainment at the ball will include some of Melbourne’s premier blues and jazz musicians, including Matt Dwyer, Andrea Marr, Robb Papp and Diddy Reyes, who are donating their services free of charge for the cause.

Poetry for church

In disguise: Everyone and anyone is invited to join in the fun at the Free To Shine charity masquerade ball from 7.30pm at Cafe 115 in Main St, Mornington, on Saturday 16 August.

Organisers said the mask symbolises girls who remain enslaved, whose faces aren’t seen. However, they have advised guests to colourful masks to symbolise the strong character and colourful

personalities of the girls. For more information, visit www.freetoshine.org. To buy tickets or to be a virtual guest, go to www.eventbrite.com.au or Facebook -Masquerade Ball Mornington Peninusla.

Sat. August 9th

POET Geoff Page will read his work to help raise funds for St George’s Anglican Church, Red Hill - the last small country church on the Mornington Peninsula. Money raised will go towards renovations to provide a community meeting place. The readings will be held at Elgee Park winery with an afternoon tea and wine tasting accompanied by cheese and nibbles. Page is described as a significant voice in Australian poetry, and features in many anthologies. He has published 19 collections and four verse novels, and won numerous poetry awards, including the Queensland Premier’s Prize, Patrick White Literary Award, and Grace Levin Prize. His major themes are place, country, religion, music, war and death. His poems owe something to the larrikin tradition of Henry Lawson, many with rural settings that narrate yarns. Other poets on the bill are Janet Limb and Eve McGlashan (who writes under the name of Eve Norton). Both women have been published in a wide variety of journals on topics ranging from the domestic to the cosmic. Elgee Park winery is on Melway map 160 J3. Turn from Nepean Highway into Wallaces Rd and drive to the end. The entrance is clearly marked. Tickets: $40 per person all inclusive. Bookings are essential; numbers limited. Bookings will be acknowledged by email or telephone and names listed at the venue on the day.

LETTERS Question expense Before the by- election in the Red Hill Ward, voters should ask themselves does Mornington Peninsula Shire really need a massive swimming complex on the Rosebud foreshore? Or would it be better if the huge amount (about $40 million) that six councillors want to borrow for this folly on the ratepayers’ behalf, be spent on infrastructure items, such as footpaths and drainage, that would benefit all the shire wards and not just one. John Cain, McCrae

Sensible choice Our peninsula community expects whoever is elected in the largest array of candidates for a local council election, in the Red Hill ward, to bring a sensible and conciliatory voice to this non-performing council. With 17 candidates to choose from, voters in the Red Hill ward have to make a clear choice and elect an experienced community activist, someone with a successful record such as Dr Mark Fancett, Tim Woods or Leigh Eustace. These people have the runs on the board. Ian Morrison, convenor Mt Eliza Community Alliance

SPA is awaited I refer to the final paragraph of Ian Bennett's letter (‘Embarrassing?’, The News 29/7/14): "rather than wasting his (Cr David Gibb’s) time and our money on SPA that not many Rosebud residents want and even less will actually use". Is this his opinion or a researched comment? If he really wants an overview of SPA, may I respectively suggest he commence his inquiries at least at Dromana and continue through to Sorrento, because the SP in SPA means Southern Peninsula not just Rosebud. Apart from ratepayers who wish to maintain a level of fitness and wellbeing by way of swimming (the splash/dash brigade) think about those who could and will use the facility: primary schools for learn to swim programs, secondary schools for water competitions, the fitness exten-

sion plans for sport clubs (consult Community Information pages 78-94 not all relevant, it is a start). Then take into account those ratepayers who need hydrotherapy - not only the ageing population to keep fit, but those pre and post-operative and accident recovery patients (all age groups) who benefit by water exercises. Speak to those, hands on experts (particularly in Rosebud) the physio and health professionals whose experience will tell him as to the need/ benefit of ongoing water therapy After he has done that, he should relax and read the council agenda of 9 December 2013, particularly pages 25-28 and the conclusion on page 41. He may be enlightened as to the need for SPA. An invigorating splash/dash in an indoor pool does wonders for the mind and body and even a gentle paddle can be therapeutic. We who have waited so long for this complex to become a reality may have to book in for an appointed time, as the usage could be more than even he expects. Betty Preston, Rosebud

Report wrong A report by Dr Hermione Parsons titled Build it – but will they come? contains many inaccuracies (‘Call for port rethink’, The News 22/7/14). The report is based on the false belief that larger ships will never come to Victoria and that catering for them is a waste of time. Since containerised shipping started, ships right around the world have steadily increased in size. To suddenly assume that this growth will stop immediately – and it would need to be immediately as Port Phillip cannot take ships any bigger than what currently comes here – is completely ignorant, and could have disastrous economic consequences for our state, as building a port in the wrong place is not a correction that can be made overnight. We have to remember that developing a new container port will take many years, with studies, approvals and construction all taking time. The Napthine government is planning for the future

of trade in Victoria in order to keep our economy growing. The Victorian government has been assessing options to cater for additional port capacity once the Port of Melbourne cannot be further expanded. This work has occurred under successive governments and has proved that Hastings is the only viable option. You only have to look at the change that has taken place in trade, containerisation and shipping around the world over the past 30 years. To stick one’s head in the sand and mount arguments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victoria’s economic prospects. This is dangerous and economically reckless. Sydney has already increased its channel depth to cater for larger vessels, and Brisbane has plans underway to do the same. These private ports have invested in increasing their capacity to handle larger ships, and Victoria must or it will be left behind. Sir Henry Bolte zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s. \This was the sort of visionary thinking that has helped Victoria develop the strong economic position we currently have. This is the type of thinking we need to have now. We have an opportunity and a responsibility to plan for the future and to ensure the continued prosperity of our great state. Developing a container port located at Hastings will achieve this. Other port locations will not. David Hodgett, Minister for Ports

Effects assessed The letter from Anne Russell of French Island (‘Tourism jobs lost’, The News 29/7/14) expresses concerns over effects that [may be caused by] the container expansion project at Hastings. In particular, she raises concerns over dredging and the effects on Western Port’s flora and fauna. Ms Russell will be pleased to know that it is for these very reasons that, well before any port development occurs, the Port of Hastings Development Authority is conducting studies and assessments of Western Port and the potential

effects of the development of a container port facility at Hastings. These assessments will take up to four years and include highly detailed studies into everything from possible impacts of dredging, underwater noise, visual pollution, turbidity, salinity, water quality and greenhouse gas and climate change concerns for local flora and fauna, both during construction and operational phases of the project. This process will also involve ongoing extensive community consultation and these views will be included in future decision making on the Port’s future development. It is worth noting that Hastings has been a working port for more than a century and in that time has handled thousands of bulk carriers entering and departing Western Port with crude oil, liquid petroleum gas and unleaded petrol without any significant effects. The authority recently appointed specialist consultants who will undertake extensive work over the next four years to determine the preferred scope, design, location and timing of the first stage of port expansion including transport connections. An environmental approval referral to the State and Commonwealth Planning Ministers also will be conducted. Mike Lean, CEO Port of Hastings Development Authority

Protection job It is of great concern to anyone with a passion for the environment, to hear Mr [Hastings MP Greg] Hunt defending the possible destruction of the great barrier reef with purely economic arguments. One would have thought his job was to put the environment first, seeing he is the minister for the environment. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Mayor blasts Labor’s ‘new’ port Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

Safe passage: A container ship on its way out of Port Phillip.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi has dubbed a Labor Party plan for a new container port near Geelong “fundamentally flawed”. A statement issued by the mayor on Thursday supporting the $12 billion expansion of the Port of Hastings means the shire will be at odds with the state government if Labor wins the November election. “The proposal to build an eight kilometre-long pier is problematic enough, but when you consider the amount of dredging that would be required to accommodate the larger vessels, it just doesn't stack up - particularly when Hastings is already a natural deep water port,” Cr Celi said. Before Cr Celi’s endorsement of expanding the Port of Hastings, the shire’s position had been to give “in principle” support. “However, this support has been conditional on satisfactory resolution of the issues raised by the community, particularly ensuring that Hastings is further developed as an environmentally sustainable ‘green port’, and that the necessary transport infrastructure is provided ahead of demand to avoid adverse traffic and rail transport impacts on the shire’s townships,” officers stated in a report to councillors last week. “The business case should also clearly identify the economic benefits to the Shire and the south east region.” The state government has not released any cost estimates of upgrading rail and road links to service the new port. The mayor’s decision to enter the battle over the site for Melbourne’s next container port comes a month after Victoria University researchers issued a warning that Western Port

may not be the best option for a new container port. The Build it – but will they come? report cast doubts on the need for a port that can accommodate the world’s largest ships. Co-author Professor Hermione Parsons said the decision of where to build a port was too important to be left to politicians. Ports Minister David Hodgett last week issued a statement saying the report “contains many inaccuracies” and was “based on the false belief that larger ships will never come to Victoria and that catering for them is a waste of time”. Mr Hodgett said it would be “completely ignorant” and “economically reckless” to assume that the size of container ships would stop increasing. “To stick one’s head in the sand and mount arguments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victoria’s economic prospects.” Mr Hodgett said Victoria needed the “sort of visionary thinking” of former Victorian premier Sir Henry Bolte who “zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s”. At the time, Sir Henry envisaged Western Port as being the “Ruhr of the

south” – emulating Germany’s massive industrial centre - and said petrochemical companies facing tough environmental laws in Europe should be invited to operate at Hastings. When asked about atmospheric pollution, Sir Henry replied: “it’ll blow away”. Maritime analyst Sandy Galbraith was quoted in The Age newspaper last week as saying the shipping industry “doesn’t want [Labor’s] Bay West". He said trucking companies had a “great vested interest” in a port on the western side of Port Phillip “but that’s not the driver of where Melbourne's next port needs to be, ships are". Dr Parsons argues that Victoria should have a fall-back position if the Port of Hastings proposal does not prove viable, economically and environmentally. While the state is spending $110 million on studies over four years to show the port is viable, Dr Parsons says its development may not be able to meet international obligations to protect wetlands. Her report estimates more than 70 per cent of containers would have to reach Hastings – by road or rail – through metropolitan Melbourne, increasing

distances from the current average of 22 kilometres to more than 100. Dr Parsons’ report stated that it was “simplistic” to expect large ships would head to Melbourne because there was a port. It was a view “not reflected in the commercial operations of shipping companies or the supply chain industries in international or capital city markets”. “The Port of Hastings Development Authority projects anticipated service of container mega ships can be put into context by comparing with those trading on the major east-west shipping routes between Asia and Europe. The Port of Rotterdam handles mega ships to service a market hinterland of 350 million people, compared with Australia’s total market population of 23 million people and Victoria’s current population of 6 million that is anticipated to grow to 10 million people by 2050.” Cr Celi said the Port of Hastings was the “only operational deep water port capable of accommodating the larger container ships currently being constructed and used worldwide”. “Hastings is perfectly placed to be Victoria's second container port,” Cr Celi said.

“There is 3500 hectares of land already zoned for port-related activities available within the precinct, which is unique in Australia. “The development of the Port of Hastings is a great opportunity for our region, providing a significant boost to our local economy and creating sustainable employment opportunities for our community today and for future generations.” Cr Celi said a Department of Transport investigation of Labor’s so-called Bay West plan found that 66 million to 84 million cubic metres of material would need to be dredged from the sea floor so ships could reach the site – “up to four times more than was dredged in the previous channel-deepening project”. The Build it – but will they come? report says the size of ships coming to Australia will be determined by the shallowest port. “The greater proposed water depth at the Port of Hastings, therefore, may have little or no influence on the size of vessels, given that the container ships normally also serve the other capital cities with ports that will not accommodate the larger vessels. “Unless each major capital city port deepens their shipping channel and berths, the larger vessels will not come. “The stark differences in market sizes emphasise that in order to maintain a container shipping service that satisfies Australia’s need for reliable, regular (weekly) movement of imports and exports, particularly the substantial agricultural and perishable food-related exports, the smaller container vessels are likely to be more suitable than the larger mega ships; the transit times of Australia’s agricultural and food exports are kept to a minimum through regular and frequent direct vessel calls across all Australian ports.”

Elderly man hit, killed by roadside AN elderly man was hit and killed by a car while standing next to his wife by the side of the Nepean Highway at Frankston on Thursday. Police said the elderly couple had been driving south on Nepean Highway before parking their vehicle opposite the beach near the bottom of Olivers Hill just before the incident occurred about 12.15pm. The man and woman were standing to rear of their car, possibly waiting to cross over the road, when a white Ford station wagon “veered off the road and struck the man”, police said. Their car, which was parked in a parking lane beside the highway, was

also clipped by the vehicle. The man was thrown onto the bonnet and windscreen of the vehicle before landing on the road about 20 metres away. Paramedics arrived shortly after the incident and attempted to revive the man, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was not injured but was treated by ambulance paramedics for shock. The driver of the station wagon, a 31-year-old man, stopped at the crash scene and is assisting police with their investigation. The highway was closed for more than five hours as major collision in-

vestigation unit officers assessed the crash site. Investigators have asked for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact police through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au Six days earlier, a 46-year-old woman was seriously injured in a hit and run incident after being struck while riding her bike on the Nepean Highway in Frankston. The 46-year-old woman was taken to The Alfred in a serious condition with suspected spinal injuries. Police have appealed to the driver to hand himself in.

Bright side of the road PERFECTLY orientated along a 1000-square metre block this handsome brick veneer home is flooded with natural light, creating a pleasant and inviting ambience for the whole family to enjoy. Boasting excellent street appeal with neat paths, hedges and a picket fence, the attraction to this property is instantaneous. From the welcoming entry foyer there is a bright formal lounge and dining room highlighted by a feature bay window, and continuing through you come to the main open-plan family zone. The cosy kitchen has a timber theme and appliances include a wall-oven and a dishwasher. Centrally placed, the kitchen overlooks the adjoining casual meals area and a comfortable living space. For the children, a separate rumpus room –with split system air-conditioning – will be great for console games and study times. New owners will be able to enjoy the work done in the ensuite and main bathroom as both have been updated with glistening white cabinetwork and frameless glass showers. The main bedroom also has a walk-in robe and three more bedrooms all have built-in robes and ceiling fans. For warm afternoons the rear entertainment area will be the place to be with a lovely undercover section perfect for evening dinners, and once meals have settled you can jump in the 8-person spa. A beautiful alfresco courtyard has been well-paved and dressed up with some olive trees or similar would offer a little taste of Tuscan charm. The double garage under the roof line has internal access to the home and also opens to the backyard. Close to two shopping centres and a choice of primary and secondary schools, this very pleasant and wellmaintained family home offers a great lifestyle.

VEC probes online campaign Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au POLITICAL campaigning in marginal bayside seats is starting to heat up ahead of November’s state election with train services on the Frankston line again on track to be a major bone of contention between both major political parties. A slick Liberal Party website that vows to tell “the truth about how the Frankston line is being improved” is the latest weapon in the political battle between both major parties in the marginal bayside ‘sandbelt’ seats. Domain name registration records show the name www.frankstonline. com.au was registered by ‘the Liberal Party of Australia Victorian Division’ last month before the website went live online. The News can reveal the Victorian Electoral Commission is investigating the use of local Labor candidate names as Google AdWords key words to direct voters to the frankstonline.com. au site. Typing the name of Labor’s candidate for Carrum ‘Sonya Kilkenny’ into Google’s search engine serves up a prominent Google ad which states: “Sonya Kilkenny – Labor – Get the facts on public transport” alongside a link to the Liberal Party’s website. Google searches for Labor candidate for Mordialloc, Tim Richardson, also direct readers to the Libs’ website. Labor’s new candidate for Frankston, firefighter Paul Edbrooke, anointed last Thursday to replace pre-

Searching questions: A Google ad campaign (above) suggests Labor candidates endorse a Liberal Party campaign website spruiking recent improvements to Frankston Line services (below).

vious candidate Helen Constas, has not had his name used as a Google AdWords term to advertise the frankstonline.com.au website yet. The ‘Frankston Line Facts’ site claims “real progress” is being made on improving train services on the Frankston line “after Labor’s neglect” while in government. Global search giant Google offers advertisers, including political par-

ties, a “cost-per-click” service to book online advertising based on specific keywords chosen by the advertiser. Google recommends advertisers target ads by using “specific phrases”. The Liberal Party is not listed on the frankstonline.com.au website but the site is compliant with VEC guidelines on political advertising. The site is “authorised by Damien Mantach, 104 Exhibition Street, Mel-

bourne”. Mr Mantach is the state director of the Liberal Party’s Victorian division and the Exhibition St address listed on the ‘Frankston Line Facts’ website is the address of the party’s Melbourne headquarters. VEC communication, education and research manager Sue Lang declined to confirm whether the Google AdWords keywords using Labor candidates’ names breached electoral ad-

vertising guidelines. “All I’m prepared to say is that we are conducting enquiries,” she said. Whoever selected the Google AdWords ‘Tim Richardson’ and ‘Sonya Kilkenny’ to direct online traffic to the Liberal Party owned frankstonline.com.au site may be exploiting a failure of VEC electoral campaigning guidelines to effectively police online advertising. Political print and TV ads must identify who has authorised the message. A Victorian parliamentary inquiry is finalising a report on “the impact of social media on Victorian elections and Victoria’s electoral administration”. The inquiry’s terms of reference included a look at “whether online electoral advertising, such as Google Adwords, is appropriately regulated in Victoria.” The VEC has previously said it has no power to force Google to disclose the name of advertisers who book Google AdWords campaigns. A Labor opposition spokesperson said: “Questions need to be answered by the Liberal Party - if they are responsible for this deceptive ad campaign then it is nothing more than a sign of desperation by the Napthine Government who have delivered very little for residents on the Frankston Line.” The Liberal Party’s Victorian campaign manager Andrew Cox did not respond to several requests for comment over several days.

Port work no danger to whales: Hunt Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE federal environment department has ruled there is no harm being caused to whales from undersea drilling in Western Port. The drilling, part of investigations into expanding the Port of Hastings, has been underway for some months but environmentalists say it endangers mother whales entering the bay with their calves. A spokeswoman for Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt last week said a geotechnical and geophysical survey of western Port “has not been referred under national environment law”. “Officers of the Department of the Environment have looked into this matter to determine whether national environmental law applies,” she said. “Based on the information available, it is unlikely to result in a significant impact on any matters of national environmental significance.” Lawyer Ariane Wilkinson, of Environmental Justice Australia, said “a number of whales, including a mother and calf, are at risk of harm by underwater drilling” in Western Port. “Any action that is likely to have a significant impact on a matter of national environmental significance must be referred for assessment and approval,” Ms Wilkinson said. Jeff Nottle, chairman of the Preserve Western Port Action Group, said Western Port was protected under the international Ramsar agreement “and should not be subject to the actions currently being conducted by the Port of

Hastings Development Authority”. A spokesman for the port authority said controls set by the survey’s environmental management plan – a condition of Victorian approval – “ensure that the Ramsar values will be protected and that compliance with the controls will be reported”. Ms Wilkinson said the port authority was disregarding its obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. “The EPBC Act clearly states that activities, like underwater drilling, which

are likely to harm whales, need to be approved by the federal environment minister,” she said. “Previous drilling activities around Australia have been referred to the minister.” A mother whale and calf had been seen “very close to the drilling site at Cowes [Phillip Island]”. “Experts believe these whales are southern right whales. The expert view is that southern right whales are extremely sensitive to noise disturbance, especially when they are nursing a

baby calf,” said Ms Wilkinson. “Other whales have been seen in the area as recently as last Monday. The Port of Hastings Development Authority need to take their legal responsibilities seriously to protect these sensitive animals.” Mr Nottle said up to 110 bores had been drilled in Western Port. “This is Minister Hunt’s electorate and this is going on right under his nose. This issue is important for the economy of this area. “Whale watching tours form an active and growing part of the tourism economy in Western Port.” Meanwhile, the port authority has started studying Western Port’s weather and wave patterns. “We are focusing on finding out as much as we can about Western Port and its environs to better inform planning and design decisions about the proposed container port at Hastings,” CEO Mike Lean said. “Understanding the many variables ranging from wind speeds and tidal patterns to water levels and wave actions, will greatly inform and direct the ongoing detailed scientific studies that we need to undertake to develop the design of the expanded port. “It’s all about ensuring we have the necessary information to inform the design processes for the Port of Hastings development,” Mr Lean said.

DINERS at Frankston’s Eeny Meeny Cafe will overhear dramatic conversations at adjoining tables during the Anywhere Theatre Festival, which is on from 28-31 August. The play To Be Determined, directed and produced by Jessica Moody, an usher at Frankston Arts Centre, features four short plays about young people and the consequences of relationships. The performers are three actors seated at a table in the hip cafe. “The intimacy of the café performance enables the audience to overhear the conversations by young people, providing an insight to the labyrinth of youth, while conforming to the Melbourne tradition of keeping company over coffee,” Ms Moody said. The play blurs the lines between fiction and reality, as patrons try to distinguish performers from audience members. The ticket price includes a platter from the cafe menu, with full bar service and hot drinks available during the performance. Eeny Meeny Cafe is at 96 Young St. Doors open at 5.30pm. Tickets: $25. Ms Moody is deaf and, coincidentally, Hearing Awareness Week is from 2430 August. It aims to promote safe hearing and is also an opportunity for those deaf people aged 15 and over to share their experience and celebrate their aspirations.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

War welcomed with “quiet excitement” Compiled by Cameron McCullough At the last meeting of the Cranbourne shire council the tender of Messrs Nicholls Bros, £48, for clearing on Cranbourne-Frankston Road, 80 chains, was accepted. *** A meeting of members of the Frankston rifle club will be held on Monday a night at 8pm in the Mechanics’ committee room. A full attendance is requested, as business is important. *** Mr H. Slattery, the well known (tenor) of the “ We Four” Quartets Party, who delighted the Frankston audience at the Fire Brigade concert recently, will sing the tenor at Frankston choral concert on August 19th. *** In another column, Cr W. J. Oates announces that it his intention to again be a candidate for the seat in the shire of Frankston and Hastings, rendered vacant by his resignation through effluxion of time. *** At St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, on Sunday next, special intercessions appropriate to the time of war will be offered at both services. The National Anthem and Kiplings “Recessional” will also be sung. Daily prayers will be said in the church during the war crisis at 8.45 in the morning and 7.45 at night, with special intercessions. *** Major C. W. Campbell of Frankston, who recently motored throughout parts of Australia, proposes to motor

to Adelaide to see Zephuron run in the Adelaide Grand National Steeplechase this month, and will, we understand, visit many centres of South Australia on the return journey. *** Quiet excitement was manifest among the members of the choral society on Monday evening when news was received the war was certain. The enthusiastic rendition of the National Anthem and the display of patriotism came as a surprise to Mr Earp, the conductor. *** The death occurred at his residence, High street, Frankston, on Wednesday last, of Mr Henry Triller, who was the only son of the late Henry Triller, contractor, South Yarra. The deceased, who was 72 years of age, was a colonist of 62 years. He leaves a widow and three daughters to mourn their loss. *** A public meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall Frankston, on Tuesday evening next, in connection with the Liberal Workers’ campaign, when Messrs N. Nicholls and W. Craven (Liberal Workers’ Institute) will speak on “ What Liberalism offers the Worker.” Ladies are specially invited. *** Over 100 city representative men will be present at the banquet to be held in the hall, Frankston, on Saturday August 15th, and the Essendon football club expects a large following of their supporters to journey to Frankston in the afternoon to witness

the Peninsula combination meet the wearers of the red and black uniform. Good crowds should also be present from all the Peninsula towns to check on their respective champions. *** At the Poultry and Kennel Club Show, held last week at the Exhibition, Master Douglas Picking, of Frankston, was successful in securing three First Prizes, a Third, and Highly Commended for his Indian Game Pullets and Bantams.*** There was a fair attendance at the euchre party and dance, held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening, in aid of the funds of the Frankston Brass Band. The gent’s prize was annexed by Mr Jacobs, and Mrs Dalman accounted for the lady’s prize. The booby prizes fell to Mr A. Burton and Mrs Tait. After the cards, dancing was indulged in, and a thoroughly enjoyable time was spent. Before proceedings commenced, several selections were rendered by the band outside the hall. *** Messrs Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when in addition to the usual supply, they will sell several useful horses on account of Mr G. Shepherd and dairy cows, etc., in the estate of Mr A. J. Maucum. On the 19th inst they will hold an extensive clearing sale of cattle, horse, household furniture and sundries at Frankston in the assigned estates of

Ellen J. Spears and John Rule. *** A wedding of interest to residents of Somerville was celebrated at St James Church of England, Dandenong, on Wednesday, July 29th, when Mr Albert Hawkin, son of Mr and Mrs H. Hawkin of “Oaklands” Somerville, was married to Miss Annie Maude Pedler, daughter of the late Richard Pedler, and Mrs Pedler of “Kilburnie” Dandenong. The wedding, though a quiet one, was very pretty, the church being decorated with white roses, ferns, tree lucerne and gum tops by the girl friends of the bride. The Rev Veal officiated, and Miss Hemmings presided at the organ. Miss Lillian Pedler and Miss Edith Hawkin were the bridesmaids, while Messrs H. and C. Pedler supported the bridegroom. The bride who was given away by her brother, (Mr Henry Pedler) looked very dainty in charmeuse satin. The square train was caught up with orange blossom and a handsomely embroidered veil was worn in the new cap effect, the same motive being carried out in the bridesmaids caps, which were of tulle trimmed with pleated ribbon horse shoes and ends. The bridesmaids wore white lace frocks. The shower bouquets of massed blue violets and pale pink carnations deserve special mention. They were the work of Mrs Van Breda and were greatly admired, The reception was held at the Royal Hotel when the customary good

wishes were expressed and the toasts drank with musical honours. The mother of the bride wore an elegant toilette of black crepe de chene, draped with ninon. General regret was expressed that through the ill health of Mrs Hawkin, the parents of the bridegroom were unable to be present. After the reception the happy pair amid showers of the inevitable coloured confetti, left for Bendigo, where the honeymoon is to be spent. Mrs Hawkin wore a smart costume of prune silk brocade, with hat of prune velvet, and furs. On their return they will reside at Mornington. The presents were both numerous and costly, including several cheques, and a handsome piano from the mother of the bride. The bride groom’s gift to bride was a gold bracelet, and to the bridesmaids turquoise cluster rings. The popularity of the bride was shown by the handsome cruet presented to her by the choir and Sunday school of which she was a member and teacher. *** TO THE EDITOR. Sir, I would like to state through, the medium of your paper, that I could not help being astonished at the number of shopkeepers and business people of Frankston, who were conspicuous by their absence from the Progress meeting on Wednesday evening last. ADVANCE AUSTRALIA. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 August 1914.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Balls up! The demise of ping-pong By Stuart McCullough TRUTH be told, I was never really interested. For me, it was something to do when stuck on holidays, when all televisions in a fifty-kilometre radius had malfunctioned. We didn’t have one at home. But at every caravan park we ever visited – from the dingiest lump of dirt with an adjacent toilet block to the self-proclaimed ‘holiday resorts’ – there was always a ‘Rec’ room and in that Rec room there was always a ping-pong table. As I approached the door, my heart could not help but hope for Pac Man or even a little Dig Dug. Upon pulling the handle, a dingy squat would be revealed, various incomplete board games in a pile that looked as though they had been recently assaulted and a decrepit ping-pong table. For most people, their opponent is the person standing on the other side of the net. Not for me. When attempting to play ping-pong, I was fighting two adversaries – gravity and the game itself. I admit that they both got the better of me. I lacked the patience and the precision to ever get the ball from one side of the net to the other as the rules required. If it landed on the table, it would only ever be by accident and never by design. Like everything, I believed that maximum effort was required and would swing the paddle with a level of force intended to launch the ball not so much over the net as in to outer space. So much in a game of ping-pong turns on the serve. It was a skill I never mastered. At recreation rooms,

there was always some kid who had devoted his entire life to the art of ping-pong; no doubt dropping out of school to spend every waking hour to mastering the art of the back-spin serve. There is nothing quite so humiliating as standing at the end of the table and watching as little white balls go zipping past without you so much as moving your bat one inch. The experience is even more humbling

caravans have names better suited to an armoured artillery vehicle.) I spent more time retrieving ping-pong balls than I ever did playing the game itself. I promised myself that if I ever won a match, I would instantly retire. Now, it seems, it’s too late. Ping-pong as we know it will shortly be at an end. The celluloid ball – which has long been the championship standard - is due to be replaced by plastic. I may have hated the game, but even I take no delight to see a once-great sport reduced to the ignominy of plastic balls. There are apparently two reasons for this monumental shake up. Firstly, there is something of a worldwide shortage of raw celluloid. The second reason for ruining everything is simple: safety. On behalf of anyone who has ever copped a ping pong ball square between the eyes, I can only say that they may be round but those little suckers certainly do pack a punch. But, apparently, that’s not the issue. Celluloid is flammable. Apparently, there are concerns that the balls might burst into flame whilst being transported. Talk about a squandered opportunity. All these years of pingpong tournaments, and no one ever thought to incorporate a flaming ball into the game proper? With the added dimension of naked flame, ping-pong might have stood a chance to haul itself out of the sporting fringes and become a mainstream sport that people might have actually wanted to watch. Rec rooms at caravans across the country would have been transformed

when the person shooting them past your ears is your eight-year-old sister. Then there’s the jog of shame… The jog of shame occurs when the ball shoots past, rolls along the floor and out the door and you have to trot along after it, bringing it back before someone in an EJ Falcon towing a caravan called ‘The Global Conqueror’ runs over it. (That’s the other thing about camping – all the

from future toilet-blocks-in-waiting to flaming gladiatorial areas. If only. Being replaced by plastic is, I feel, a fate that awaits us all. But rather than try and reinvent the wheel / ball, I think that powers that be should consider alternatives. For example, why not replace the ping-pong ball altogether? A squash ball is about the right size. That said, a little black ball might be hard to see (Rec room lighting is never that flash). Perhaps a medicine ball is the answer. There are no problems with visibility and the chances of it rolling along the floor and out the door are, it must be said, remote. Even I would be able to spot a medicine ball as it lumbered over the net, slamming into the table like a spherical elephant drunkenly falling over a fence. That’s where I went wrong. I see the problem as clearly as a medicine ball. Paddles should only be used when you’re heading to a particular creek in a barbed wire canoe. Not for sport. I should’ve used a tennis racquet and swapped that little white missile for something easier to see. Like a balloon. The mistake I made was in accepting things as they were. I should have been bolder; more willing to mix things us, regardless of the consequences. I ought to have written my own rules. And if the kid in the Rec room who’s waiting to trash some blow-in from Tyabb twenty-one to zip has a problem with that, I can always set his ball on fire. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Get your kids crafty by painting with trains MY son isn’t a huge fan of arts and crafts. So when I spotted this activity at play-trains.com, I thought what a great way to get him excited about painting. All you need is paint, paper or a canvas, and metal trains (we used Thomas die cast models). While he lined his trains, I poured blobs of paint all over the canvas (the smaller blobs work better when you can control the paint!) There was absolutely no thought to this, other than to randomly place different colours in the space. He then drove his trains all over the canvas. I loved listening to the adventure he was describing the trains were on. As the colours began to all join together in a brownish mess, we decided this picture was finished and found a new piece of paper. I didn’t use new paint blobs as there was still quite a bit on the train wheels. This would be a good time to make some smaller pictures. Don’t forget that a sink full of warm water and lots of bubbles allows for the clean up to be just as fun as the painting. After allowing the canvas to dry for many hours (due to the thickness of the pain), we have ended up with a gorgeous painting that is now proudly hanging on the wall in my son’s bedroom. And a previous disinterested painter now requests paper, paint and brushes every day. This guide can be found in the Rainy Day Activities Guide on our website, along with over 50 arts’n’crafts, games, cooking and indoor fun ideas that will help you enjoy a winter’s day indoors.

Stonecats are clear favourites PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW sits two games clear at the top of the Peninsula League ladder after winning a dog fight with Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday. The Stonecats are now a clear favourite for the 2014 premiership after knocking over last year’s grand finalists Edithvale and Bonbeach in recent times. In a game that was an arm wrestle all afternoon, the Stonecats came from three points down at three quarter time to take control of the match in the last quarter and get home by seven points, 9.13 (67) to 9.6 (60). The home side booted 2.5 to 1.1 in the final term, Anthony Barry again dominating while Tony Lester was at his best, especially when it mattered most. Ricky Morris was back in the side for the Stonecats after a long lay-off while EdithvaleAspendale fielded its strongest side for the season. Eagles coach Troy Shannon said before the game that he was pleased to be getting his best side on the park at the right time of the year. In saying that, the likes of Tim Mavric, Markham Johnson and Mark Mullins didn’t play for the Eagles on Saturday.

Edithvale-Aspendale has used 38 players through the seniors this season, more than any other side in the competition. Kevin Lylak and Riley Hodson were again amongst the best for the Stonecats while Brad Ulms was also up and about. Jack Mazurek was YCW’s only multiple goalkicker with two goals and he played an outstanding game. Michael Kremmer, who has been used as a defender in recent times, was fantastic yet again for the Eagles while Stevey Mannix continued his dominant season. Brad Gilder and Matty Clark also dominated, as did Jeremy Heys. Chelsea gave Mornington one hell of a fright on Saturday, pushing the visitors right to the final siren. The Seagulls booted seven of the last 11 goals of the match, going down by just five points, 10.13 (73) to 11.12 (78). The home side lost the match in the opening half, where they trailed by 25 points at half time. However, through the likes of Matt Smith, Brad Clark and Fia Tootoo, as well as Robbie Lancaster with four goals and Toddy Gardiner getting a heap of it, the Gulls came storming home. Fortunately for the Dogs, Warwick Miller was dominant across four quarters and Adam

Symes was fantastic in only his sixth game for the season. Adrian Speedy booted three goals for the winners, along with Jackson Calder, who now has 32 for the season, four behind leader David Bodley (YCW). Mt Eliza got some much needed percentage, thumping Karingal to the tune of 81 points, 25.12 (162) to 12.9 (81). Scott Lockwood booted ten for the Redlegs while Sam Wettenhall and Jordan Moncrief kicked four each. Tim Strickland kicked a couple and dominated the match while John Meesen also controlled things in the ruck. It was a tough day at the office for stand-in coach Michael Burke. Hadley Tomamichel booted five goals for the Bulls while Ray Lengyel and Paxton brothers, Aaron and Grant were outstanding. Karingal President Jeff Walton said the split between former coach Stephen Coates and the club was mutual. “We spoke to Stephen after the Edithvale game and let him know that we needed a change. He agreed that this was best,” Walton said. “Burkey is a legend of this club and was happy to take the reins for the remainder of the year. At this stage we’re not sure whether he’ll

throw his hat into the ring for job next season,” Walton said. Burke was amongst the best for the Bulls yet again on Saturday. Nathan Hicks and Justin Norton booted three goals each and a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard for Bonbeach in their 16.17 (113) to 5.9 (39) win against Pines. Jackson Casey and Dylan Jones continued their domination while Mark Tyrell was also at his best for the Sharks. Jake Prosser and the Hendry brothers, Guy and Beau, were the best of the Pythons. In the final game, Langwarrin kept its slim finals hope alive with a 21.14 (140) to 10.9 (69) demolition of Seaford. It was clearly the Kangas best four-quarter performance of the season with matt Dimkos booted six goals, Sean Herdman four and Daniel Wehner three. Beau Muston was also outstanding for the Kangas while Andy Taylor has made the most of his opportunities since returning to the seniors. Skipper Scott Sienkiewicz has been superb all season, as has Jarryd Amalfi. Luke Smith kicked three goals for the Tigers and Tommy Shaw and Rory Luxton worked tirelessly.

Finals venues raise questions By Toe Punt THE 2014 Nepean and Peninsula League finals venues have been announced. The Nepean League Grand Final will be played at Hastings this year. The preliminary Final will be played at Somerville while the third venue being used is Rye, which will host the 1st semi final. The Grand Final will not be played at Frankston Park due to construction works. However, despite the rebuilding of the Sports Club, the Peninsula League finals are still scheduled to take place at Kars St. Langwarrin has been earmarked as the ground for the Peninsula Grand Final should Frankston Park become unavailable. Pines will also be used for Peninsula League finals. Whilst many don’t have an issue with the Nepean League grand final being played at Hastings, they do believe that it should be at Frankston Park. Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said if Frankston Park was available for Peninsula Finals, it should be available for the Nepean Grand Final. “I don’t know what the issue is? If the ground is OK for Peninsula, then why can’t it be used for Nepean?” Blackford said. “Frankston Park is the home of local footy grand finals and it should be played there, especially if it is available. The league didn’t provide any reasoning or justification to the venue selections. Hastings has been trying for years to get the finals played there, however, not having netball courts has always been the issue. It’s not a problem for them anymore with courts going in last year. Nepean Netball will be played at the same venues, while Peninsula netball will all be played at Chelsea, which flies in the face of having netball and football at the same location.

Hillmen beat Rye in drama filled game NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED HILL overcame a drama-filled match against Rye to win by 32 points in the Nepean League match of the round. The Hillmen lost Jayden Pain with a hamstring injury and Jake Mold with a knee in the opening term of the clash and played out the remainder of the game without rotations on the bench. Smart forward Sean Holmes also played the match with a wrist injury while Nick Bateman was knocked out in the second quarter but was forced to keep playing. The drama didn’t stop with Red Hill, however, who went on to win 10.13 (73) to 5.11 (41). Rye lost Matty Sibberas (back spasms) and Sam Smith (calf) in the warm-up and then Andrew Dunn went off with a knee injury in the first quarter. Fortunately for the Demons, they were able to replace Sibberas and Smith before the first bounce. Jarryd Kirkwood played in the reserves and then played seniors, while Brock Rawlinson, who’s coming back from a groin injury, was forced to borrow boots and gear from a teammate so that he could come into the side. The Demons also lost Aaron Findlay for 15 minutes after he was sent off in

the incident that saw Bateman knocked unconscious. The Hillmen never looked effected by the events that unfolded earlier. They were committed, disciplined, desperate and structured, something that couldn’t be said for Rye. The win was even more impressive for the Hillmen considering the events of the week. Coach Tony Blackford called off training on Tuesday night because 15 senior players went down with sickness. “It might have been a blessing because we ran out the game very well and they looked fresh and up for the contest,” Blackford said. The Hillmen had some standout performances. Jimmy McCall was superb in the ruck against Rhett Sutton, Harry Larwill provided enormous grunt and drive from half back and Marcus Dal Lago completely shut-down Ryan Semmel, who had no effect on the game at all. Michael Dillon was the best player on the ground. Sam Smith was supposed to tag him, however, when he went out of the side, no-one else went near him. Dillon did as he liked and was left to his own devices. You would have thought someone would take responsibility. Rye is a one way, selfish team. When the Demons controlled the footy, which wasn’t often mind you,

they looked fantastic, streaming forward, working hard to get to the next contest, hitting packs hard and being creative. When the Hillmen had control of the footy, the Demons lacked desire and an appetite for the ball. They left their opponents to do what they liked and were completely unaccountable. Some even failed to give a second effort once they lost a contest. That didn’t go for everyone though. The skipper (Sutton) was heard on a number of occasions barking instructions, especially to those playing on the ball, but his insistence fell on deaf ears. On paper, Rye looked so much more dangerous than Red Hill. It matters little though when they don’t have a ‘team first’ attitude. There is a group of players that are there for themselves and clearly don’t have any care or respect for those around them. The likes of Leigh Morse, Matt McIndoe, Ben Cain, Sutton and Ryan Taylor don’t fall into that category – they gave their all. Red Hill remains in third position, a game clear of Dromana. Rye is still two games clear in fifth spot. Dromana overcame three losses in a row, smashing Rosebud to the tune of 47 points. The damage was done in the first quarter when the Tigers kicked 7.5 to

nothing. At half time, the score was 69 to 15. The Buds came home in the second half booting 10 goals to eight, however, they were never in the hunt. They went down 12.6 (78) to 18.17 (125). Anthony Bruhn booted five for the Tigers and Paul Minchington collected his second best on ground in as many weeks with three majors and a dominant performance. Tom Baker kicked three for the Buds while Sam Krumeich was named the Buds’ best player. Devon Meadows moved to eighth place on the ladder, leapfrogging Somerville and Frankston Bombers after belting the Bombers 15.15 (105) to 8.1 (49) on Saturday. Pat Harmes and Alex and Chris Doria dominated the match for the Panthers while Jack Bow booted three goals. Duncan Proud booted three for the Bombers and was clearly amongst his side’s best, while Mitch Bosward and Sam Drake worked hard. Adrian Ridout made it 18 goals in three matches after booting eight in Somerville’s 28.17 (185) to 12.6 (78) win over Tyabb. Ridout has booted bags of six, four and eight in his only three games this season. Jedd Sutton and Rowan Hogenbirk were also dominant

performers on Saturday while David Hirst was also at his best. Jake Anderson was good again for the Yabbies up front with three goals while Tyson Sparkes and Adrian Clay were outstanding performers yet again. Sorrento had little problem getting over the line against Pearcedale on Saturday, booting 24.13 (157) to 6.7 (43). Leigh Poholke was superb again with six goals while Troy Schwarze and Kayle Stringer-Morris had the ball on a string. Matty Vagg and Pat Heijden were the best of the Dales. In the final game, Crib Point maintained its position at the top of the Nepean League ladder with a 14.14 (98) to 11.9 (75) win against Hastings. The Magpies jumped the home side in the opening term, opened up a 19-point quarter time lead and were never headed from that point on. Kyle Arnott was given an opportunity in the seniors after some good form in the reserves and responded with a seven goal, best on ground performance. Dean Warry and Brad Arnold were brilliant yet again and Matty Sloper did a job in defence. Dale Alanis booted four for the Blues and Jake Hewitt kicked three while Peter Mawson and Josh Mulheron worked hard around the ground.
