By Mike HastTHE contractor installing wave screens on Mornington pier started setting up equipment on Monday and work is ex-pected to start next week.

Carrum Downs-based K V Johnson Constructions is attaching 76 concrete screens – 43 on the bay side of the mid-dle section replaced in 2011 and 33 on the harbour side.

The screens are 1.2-metres wide on the bay side and 1.6-metres wide on the harbour side with some up to 6.7 metres long.

By Jo WinterbottomHASTINGS police had a busy morn-ing in Moorooduc last week, with doz-ens of motorist nabbed for a variety of fi nes and misdemeanors.

Uniformed and highway patrol po-lice joined forces with the sheriff’s of-fi ce to surprise motorists going about their business on a cold and clear win-

ter’s morning. The ace up their sleeve was a police automatic number plate recognition vehicle, which is made available to Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud police once a month each.

Hastings highway patrol boss Ser-geant David Collins said he decided to deploy the crew outside the usual spots in Hastings last Thursday and ended up having “quite a productive day”.

The team set up on Mornington-Tyabb Rd near Moorooduc Primary School about 9am; by the time they packed up at 1.30pm they had assessed 1721 cars.

Five disqualifi ed or suspended driv-ers were discovered, as well as four unregistered cars and four defective vehicles.

Eight people were charged with traf-

fi c offences and 420 people were given random breath tests.

It was a good day out for the sher-iff too – 52 people were processed for outstanding warrants and “several thousands” of dollars in fi nes was col-lected.

Sergeant Collins said part of the suc-cess of the number plate recognition technology was its ability to link pass-

ing cars to the car’s owner and others who regularly drive it, casting a wider net for fi ne evaders.

It was proving an effective tool for police because the number of offences detected in such operations was slowly declining as people realised how diffi -cult it was to outsmart police and the sheriff and their number plate recogni-tion vehicle.

By Toni BrientVICTORIANS are preparing to wel-come the fi rst new number plate series in 60 years but not everyone will be making the move to the new system.

Mornington Peninsula Historical Ve-hicles Club secretary Margaret Griffi n said older plates can still be seen on the peninsula.

Mrs Griffi n said her husband Ray’s 1934 Pontiac still has its original six-digit number plates – 201-166.

“We’ve had it since 1968, and it’s still registered and roadworthy.”

She believed people became attached to cars and number plates because they represent a link to family history.

“People are really sentimental. An FJ Holden gets a lot of looks because ev-eryone in the family has had one.

“It’s sort of a personal thing; some-thing you remember from childhood.”

Mrs Griffi n said the pattern was evi-dent in her own family. “Both our sons have Chrysler Valiants because we drove around in them during the 1970s and 1980s when they were kids.”

The changes announced last week by the state government will take the for-mat from three letters, three numbers to number, letter, letter, number, letter, letter.

The fi rst issued number plate, 1AA 1AA, was auctioned for $170,000 on a Melbourne radio station to benefi t The Alfred Hospital.

Mrs Griffi n recalled a similar amount of interest when colour was introduced to number plates in 1977.

“I know there was a big to-do when they started green number plates.

“People went to an auction and it was auctioned off as well.”

She said many car owners still use the six-digit plates, which were fi rst is-sued in 1932.

“In the car club movement, people like to have a number plate that match-es the era of the car.”

Mrs Griffi n said many members of the peninsula car club use specialised number plates from the Club Permit Scheme, which grants car club mem-bers cheaper registration for limited

use of historic vehicles.Car enthusiasts also search for spe-

cifi c number and letter combinations, she said.

“My dad had the number plate HOT 448, and apparently there’s an engine that’s a 448.

“A lot of my son’s friends have

bought number plates that match the model [of their cars].”

The introduction of custom num-ber plates in the past few decades has enabled people to display club af-fi liations, like football teams, on their number plates.

Mrs Griffi n said some members of her club also use personalised number plates, which allow people to select colours as well as number and letter combinations.

“It just shows you how much money is out there,” she laughs.

The state’s new number plates will carry the road safety message “Stay alert stay alive”.

They are the fi rst new series of num-ber plates since 1953.

The present series ends in coming weeks with ZZZ 999, which has al-ready been bought. The plates will be made by prisoners in an Ararat jail. There will be 37 million combina-tions, enough to last about 50 years.

FOOD For All’s winter blanket appeal is underway with knitters being asked to make blankets, rugs and comforters for needy families as well as older people and the homeless.

Last year more than 200 knitters from the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston and beyond contributed thousands of squares to be sewn into blankets as well as scarves, beanies, mittens and baby clothes.

More than 150 blankets were distributed by Food For All through St Vincent de Paul Conferences Mornington Peninsula.

The project is again being supported by Carrum Downs Community Bank.

“We are delighted to be doing this again,” bank board chairman Greg Sugars said.

“Not only are we bringing knitters together on a valuable project, linking Bendigo Bank’s Mornington Peninsula branches, which act as collection and distribution centres for wool and fi nished work, but also we are providing warmth at a diffi cult time for people in need,” Mr Sugars said.

The branch will sponsor knitters with $6000 worth of wool from Bendigo Woollen Mills.

Since 1991 Southern Peninsula Food For All has provided food parcels, Christmas hampers and blankets for people in need.

Food For All chairman Ken Northwood said blankets were

distributed during home visits. “St Vincent de Paul can’t keep up

with the demand for beanies and scarves, so they are welcome too. We are delighted to be working again with community bank branches,” Mr Northwood said.

Mr Sugars said it was hoped to match or better last year’s total of 151 blankets.

By Keith PlattNO one knows what the future holds. We can read the stars or see a fortune-teller, but what’s really around the corner remains tantalisingly out of reach.

However, for Debbie Broadbent one aspect of her future is all too obvious.

As a sufferer of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) Ms Broadbent knows there will be no halt to the gradual loss of her physical capabilities.

Already she has “walking diffi culties” and must use a wheelchair for shopping.

If unchecked, MS will force her to use the wheelchair inside her own home, something that will not be easy in her small unit.

Stem cell treatment holds a glimmer of hope that Ms Broadbent can stop her MS getting worse. But at her age, 53, it is a course Australian surgeons are reluctant to take.

She is pinning her hopes on surgeons in India or Russia, but needs $65,000 for the procedure.

“I don’t fi t the strict criteria [of surgeons] in Australia who are cherry picking patients because they want to see results,” Ms Broadbent told The News. “I don’t want to end up being a wheelchair grandmother.”

Ms Broadbent said the stem cell treatment was “very aggressive” and involved “blanking out” a patient’s immune system so MS was no longer in its “memory”.

She says the chances of success are as low as 40 per cent but “I’d be

Overseas surgeons ‘my only hope’Overseas surgeons ‘my only hope’

happy to accept staying at the level [of disability] that I am now”.

As well as problems walking, Ms Broadbent is unable to drive, has cognitive problems, vision problems, bladder and bowel dysfunction, fatigue, chronic pain (neuropathy, which is hard to treat), numbness and sensory disturbance.

“I had a three-week spell in the Golf Links Rd rehab hospital this time last year for intensive physiotherapy, which, apart from keeping my muscles working, didn’t really help all that much,” she said.

“Based on how much my condition has worsened in the past six to eight months I believe if I do not get this stem cell treatment, my MS, which is progressive, will advance quite rapidly.”

While no one can predict the worst-case scenario for Ms Broadbent, it could see her “bedridden, unable to swallow, needing tube feeding, using a catheter, be in need of a full-time carer or have to go into a nursing home”.

“I’m laughing and joking, but absolutely scared to death.”

“If the best result I can get is halting the progression of my disease I will be happy. Any reversal of my symptoms would be the cherry on the cake.”

Ms Broadbent says she come to the end of seeking help from medication after injecting a disease-modifying drug for almost 14 years.

The hemopioetic stem cell transplant (HSCT) treatment she needs involves undergoing heavy doses of chemotherapy before the re-introduction into her body of her own modifi ed stem cells.

“Ideally, I would like the treatment at Bangalore in India, which offers the best chance of success.

“I have applied and will hear back in about two or three weeks.

“I have been accepted in Moscow, but that has only a 40 per cent chance of success as the treatment there is not as aggressive. But I feel this is better odds than doing nothing and ending up in a nursing home.

“I need to raise $65,000 for treatment, airfares, medical visas and accommodation for two as I have to take a carer with me.”

Ms Broadbent has been granted a fundraising licence and has opened a dedicated bank account with the Carrum Downs Bendigo Bank.

Her fi rst fundraising event will be a trivia night and silent auction at the Longbeach Hotel, Chelsea, on Saturday 31 August.

Businesses wanting to donate goods for the auction or anyone who can help Ms Broadbent can contact her on 0407 310 598.

Family ties: Debbie Broadbent wants to avoid being a “wheelchair grandmother” to 16-month-old Lara.

THE coffee table book Wine Food and Farmgate will be integrated into a so-cial media and online format to help promote the peninsula’s premium food and wine offerings in a new marketing campaign unveiled last week.

The state government has provided $27,500 to fund the initiative and to fi nance research into the needs and expectations of holiday home owners in the region.

Both projects will be run by Morn-ington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board together with Tourism Victoria.

Peninsula MPs Neale Burgess, Da-vid Morris and Martin Dixon an-nounced the funding last week.

The project would utilise the lat-est marketing innovations to “help visitors to the region to discover the stunning diversity of our physical landscape, the quality of our food and wine, and the high standard of accom-modation”, they said.

“Consumer behaviour in accessing tourism information and promotion has changed dramatically and the in-creased use of digital media has meant there is a need to incorporate this ac-tivity into marketing campaigns.”

Tourism Minister Louise Asher said the latest technologies would help en-hance tourism.

“The scope of the innovation pro-grams across the state range from technological applications such as free wifi networks at key visitor locations to mobile applications and mobile op-timised websites,” she said.

A CRANBOURNE man aged 22 has been charged over a fi re at a petrol sta-tion in Mornington earlier this month.

Detective Senior Constable Harry Simpson of Mornington crime inves-tigation unit said police would allege the man was heavily affected by drugs when he lit a fi re in a rubbish bin at the Shell service station on the corner of Nepean Hwy and Pentecost Rd about 5.45am on Sunday 2 June.

As the fi re raged, he allegedly jumped in his car and drove off, leaving a sole attendant to douse the fl ames.

“Our concern was that after lighting the fi re he left and it had to be extin-guished by someone else,” Detective Simpson said.

The occupants of another car at the service station at the time of the al-leged offence were interviewed but no further charges have been laid.

The man was charged with arson and conducted endangering life. He was remanded in custody to appear at Dan-denong Magistrates’ Court at a date to be fi xed.

tre is backing a campaign to help con-sumers outsmart online scammers.

National Consumer Fraud Week runs until 23 June, initiated by the Austra l-asian Consumer Fraud Taskforce.

The legal centre’s acting principal lawyer Bren dan Stackpole, said it was hoped the taskforce’s “top fi ve tips” would help people avoid scams.

“If you think you might have been scammed, seek legal advice. Don’t let embarrassment stop you from pursuing your rights,” he said.

The tips are:1. Think twice – if a deal looks too good to be true, chances are it is.

2. Find out what other shoppers say – make sure the person that you are deal-ing with and their offer is the real deal.3. Protect your identity – personal de tails are private and invaluable; keep them that way and away from scammers.4. Keep your computer secure – install software that protects your computer from viruses and unwanted programs and make sure it is kept up-to-date.5. Only pay through secure payment metho ds – look for a web address start-ing with “https” and a closed padlock symbol. Never use a wire transfer ser-vice to send money to anyone you do not know and trust and do not share

your fi nancial details with anyone.A taskforce spokesman said the

campaign was to help people who had bought or sold something online only to fi nd the person at the other end wasn’t “the real deal”.

“Australians are increasingly going online to buy goods and services, tak-ing advantage of the speed, conveni-ence and choice the internet offers.

“Unfortunately scammers like shop-ping online for their victims too.”

Ms O’Sullivan is the convenor of the ACE program at the Rosebud and Frankston hospitals’ emergency departments.

“It was very overwhelming and a bit of a shock when I heard my name called out,” Ms O’Sullivan said.

“It was such an honour and a privilege to be nominated in the fi rst place, let alone win. I’m very passionate about the ACE program. It does a lot of good; it helps the patients and allows staff to get on with what they do best.”

The Friends of Carinya Auxiliary was nominated in the team award category for the volunteer work done by its members at Peninsula Health’s residential care centre in Golf Links Rd, Frankston.

By Jo WinterbottomSTATE government MP David Morris claims federal funding to Mornington Peninsula Shire has decreased and has warned against giving the commonwealth more power over local govern-ment at a referendum in September.

Mr Morris, the Liberal MP for Mornington, said funding for the coming fi nancial year was $166,412 less than received for 2012-13.

Describing the cut as a “major blow for the council when it is fi nalising its annual budget”, Mr Morris said federal funding to Victorian coun-cils had decreased by $13.4 million in 2013-14.

“The hardest hit councils have lost almost half a million dollars in federal funding,” he said.

Mr Morris criticised commonwealth spending on the upcoming referendum on local govern-ment, describing it as a “propaganda campaign”.

On September 14 – federal election day – Aus-tralians will also vote on a referendum to recog-nise local government in the constitution.

The move has the support of the vast majority of federal MPs and has been the subject of ex-tensive lobbying by the Australian Local Govern-ment Association and the Municipal Association of Victoria.

It will enable the federal government to directly fund local government without going through the state government as is presently the case.

The shire has contributed $20,000 to an MAV fi ghting fund in support of the constitutional change.

Mr Morris, who is parliamentary secretary for local government, said the state government was opposed to the constitutional change.

“The system’s worked perfectly well for the last 113 years,” he said.

“At present, councils derive all of their author-ity from state parliament; if we get the federal government mixed in, it just complicates the pic-ture even further for absolutely no benefi t.”

There was potential for Canberra to place oner-ous conditions on local government funding.

But MAV president Bill McArthur hit back, saying the state government’s campaign against the referendum was “truly bizarre”.

“The referendum seeks to formalise what has occurred under both Liberal and Labor federal governments for over a decade,” he said.

“It is about removing the current legal risks that place existing federal money for local roads and community facilities under a cloud of doubt fol-lowing recent High Court decisions.”

He refuted as “scaremongering” the claims that a constitutional change could undermine state powers.

“The wording [of the referendum] has been specifi cally designed by constitutional law ex-perts to ensure local government remains a state responsibility,” he said.

“The claim that money to Victorian councils could also be reduced is a sad reality faced by councils every day. Funding cuts from any gov-ernments – state or federal – can occur at any time. This is unrelated to and regardless of any change to our constitution.”

The referendum has strong bipartisan support in the federal parliament; only two MPs voted against changing the constitution to recognise lo-cal government.

The News sought comment from shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden and CEO Michael Kennedy about what the cuts would mean but they could not be contacted before deadline.

By Jo WinterbottomPOLICE have warned bikie gangs to “back off” after a warehouse in Seaford was sprayed with bullets last week.

Sergeant Martin McLean of Frankston crime investigation unit called for calm as detectives in-vestigated the shooting at the Patrick Court club-house of the Nomads chapter of the Hells Angels.

The two-storey prefab warehouse in a small industrial estate was unoccupied at the time. It remains pockmarked with bullet holes.

“They’ve picked the wrong place to set up shop; we are well resourced and we will not tol-erate any unlawful activity,” Sgt McLean said.

About 30 shots from “military-style heavy cali-bre fi rearms” were fi red at the building some time in the early hours of Friday 14 June in what po-lice believe may be part of an escalating confl ict between Hells Angels and Bandido gangs.

“These people need to be aware that there are peo-ple who live and work in that area 24 hours a day and we would hate to see innocent people become victims of someone who was reckless and almost carefree with fi rearms,” Sgt McLean said.

“I would have hated to have been an unarmed

security guard happening on that scene.”Police feared the shooting may lead to more re-

prisals and were investigating if it was the latest in a series of shootings connected to bikie gangs.

Tensions escalated on 17 June when shots were fi red at a Doveton house about 12.30am.

The Hells Angels and Bandidos reportedly “de-clared war” in March after two Bandido members were shot outside a Diablos bikie club in Melton.

A new chapter of the Hells Angels Nomads club was established in the Seaford warehouse earlier this year.

Sergeant McLean said the shooting on Friday was the fi rst time Frankston police had any in-volvement with the new group, but it is believed the property was searched by Melbourne-based detectives after the shooting in March.

Sergeant McLean said police maintained a good relationship with a Carrum Downs chapter of the Outlaws motorcycle club.

“We are not getting the same sort of welcome at Patrick Court,” he said.

Anyone with information can call Frankston police on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

MT Martha Community Learning Centre and Chisholm Institute are among 54 Learn Local or-ganisations in Victoria to share $2.63 million in grants for adult education.

The two community education providers will receive $50,000 to help expand adult learning op-portunities on the peninsula.

The funding windfall comes the state govern-ment’s Adult, Community and Further Education Board Capacity and Innovation Fund.

The grants aim to help Learn Local organisa-tions expand services, improve effi ciency, offer new courses and increase the participation and attainment of learners.

Mornington MP David Morris said the money would further develop programs and expand op-portunities for peninsula adult learners.

“The grants have been designed to help Learn Local organisations develop new programs to boost participation and learning,” he said.

By Keith PlattSELLING recycled water from Mel-bourne Water’s Eastern Treatment Plant near Carrum could raise at least $240 million a year.

Clean Ocean Foundation president Peter Smith says South East Water is failing to adequately market the Class A quality water being poured daily into the sea at Gunnamatta on the Mornington Peninsula.

Mr Smith for years led the battle that last year fi nally saw Melbourne Water lift the quality of water being discharged from the outfall.

But with that battle won, Mr Smith says Clean Ocean is now concerned at the environmental effects of billions of litres of fresh water going into the sea and the loss of potential revenue.

“Under the current structure, South East Water is the retailer. So it is their

‘Revenue’ lost to the sea – Clean Ocean‘Revenue’ lost to the sea – Clean Ocean

responsibility to fi nd customers,” Mr Smith said.

“South East Water has had its head in the sand and is looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Mr Smith said 400 megalitres of Class A water pumped daily through the Gunnamatta outfall could reap $247.7 million a year.

He said the state government needs to pay for new pipes to carry the treat-ed water to where it can be used: “To Gippsland, Werribee, the Yarra River or wherever.”

“The Mornington Peninsula does not have the demand and probably never will, and from my understanding there are currently minimal re-use programs underway.”

Mr Smith said Melbourne Water started pumping Class A water to Gun-namatta on Christmas Day but had purposely avoided publicity because “the upgrade came about by commu-nity pressure and it was not an inno-vation or decision made by the water authorities but by essential services, in

effect the Health Department”.He thinks the government will only

react as a result of public embarrass-ment over potential lost revenue and the waste of a valuable resource.

“We don’t believe that South East Water has the determination or will to propose options to the state govern-ment without a concerted community push. Similar to the Class A upgrade program,” Mr Smith said.

“Going to the beach became a seri-ous community health problem. This is of course why we are not hearing about the upgrade in the way of back-slapping press releases.

“What is forgotten is the polluting of the marine environment by fresh water over many kilometres of our coastline.

“This pollution has not changed since the Class A water upgrade.

“The bull kelp forests continue to

be decimated, resident fi sh probably have two heads and three eyes, and the small shellfi sh and micro-organisms will continue to mutate and die.”

On its website, South East Water states that Class A recycled water is “a sustainable water supply that we are delivering to a growing number of new homes in Melbourne’s southeast”.

Customers are listed as including Sandhurst estate near Skye and parts of Lyndhurst, Cranbourne, Pakenham and Offi cer.

It states new infrastructure will “ex-pand the recycled water network even further. In fact, it’s predicted that by 2030 we’ll have approximately 43,000 properties connected to recycled water in our service region”.

South East Water and Melbourne Water did not respond to calls or emails.

By Mike HastMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has added another year of council deci-sions to its new website.

The addition of decisions made in 2009 comes after some councillors including Bev Colomb as well as resi-dents complained they were not able to look up the progress of long-running issues such as important planning de-cisions.

Long-time controversial issues still active that started well before 2009 in-clude Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings, the Southern Peninsula

Aquatic Centre in Rosebud, and Gate-way Park in Mornington.

A recent example was the shire’s decision not to extend the time for the building of a holiday resort at McLears Hill in Dromana.

The issue dates back to 2006 and was before the council again earlier this month.

Another example is the proposal to put a rubbish tip in the old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. Council decisions about the quarry date back to the late 1990s.

The old website had decisions from 1997 when councillors were fi rst elect-

ed to the new amalgamated council.The shire’s communications man-

ager Todd Trimble said “at this stage we will be keeping a rolling, four-year archive of minutes”.

“We have investigated the costs involved in expanding the archive against the number of ‘hits’ for these pages in previous years,” he said.

“There was an extremely low num-ber of hits for minutes [council meet-ing decisions] beyond four years, and the cost involved in expanding the ar-chive could not be justifi ed at this point in time.

“We will continue to look for cost-ef-

fective solutions to expand the archive in the future.”

Residents and groups including Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association also com-plained about the new format of audio recordings.

The old website allowed residents to download audio recordings of council meetings. Meetings have been record-ed since March last year.

When recordings were put on the new website recently, they could not be downloaded and played at a later time.

The shire has changed the system and audio fi les will again be easier to

download. It is expected the new sys-tem for sound fi les will start this week.

The website contains new features such as the peninsula’s weather for the day, forecasts for the week ahead and a “what’s near me” search function that uses Google maps to show services in or near the shire’s 42 towns.

It was planned to add “how-to” vid-eos such as how to lodge a planning permit.

The home page contains links to main sections such as our shire, build-ing and planning, environment and waste, what’s on, services, and leisure and tourism.

For indigenes, cannon fire is tipping pointFor indigenes, cannon fire is tipping pointCHEZ Emu is aghast. That means both of us are, at the same time, aghast, which is exceedingly rare if not unique.

We stuck our heads in the window of Dromana Hall on the Saturday of the recent long weekend – every seat taken, many standing or sitting on the fl oor, a crowd outside – to listen to speakers at a packed protest meeting over the proposed rubbish tip in the old quarry at Dromana.

Emus like tips. Until that Saturday meet ing we supported this one. We and our mates sneak into tips at night and search for tasty tidbits. It is our equiva-lent of fi nger food. Tips are full of it.

But soon we were, as recounted above, aghast. In a serious state of aghastliness, as a matter of fact, at the thought of constant loud explosions at the tip to keep we “ferals” away.

This state was brought on when an anti-tipper mentioned that high-deci-bel “fright guns” would be employed to see off seagulls and other feathered ferals that fl ock to tips.

“Ferals indeed!” stuttered Mrs Emu as we staggered home, as if carrying a heavy burden. “We have been lumped in with seagulls. Seagulls! Flying rats! And cats and foxes. And ibis! How hu-miliating.”

She mused for a moment. “I am carrying a heavy burden of humi lia-tion,” she announced, as if having read Emu’s mind.

But the explosions are a serious threat to the sensitive hearing of emus. We hate sudden loud noises. So, too, do rare and endangered powerful owls. They also terrify koalas, kangaroos and cattle. And we know constant, ear-

splitting kabooms drive people into a frenzy.

When – or should that be “if” – a sound akin to First World War artillery fi re that sent men mad starts up on the escarpment and continues day after remorseless day, decade after de cade, how long before everyone with in ear-shot starts to sharpen their pitchforks?

Emu reckons “earshot” will extend all along the escarpment to suburban Arthurs Seat and Dromana, south to Red Hill, including its school, and north and east across the Kangerong Valley to Safety Beach, Martha Cove and Mt Martha itself.

One or two councillors and possibly a senior shire staff employee or two will fi nd themselves in the line of fi re.

Emu knows of a few in council who could be so directly affected they might have to declare a confl ict of in-terest and abstain from voting on the tip proposal.

Step forward councillors Gibb, Mar-tin and Pittock for starters! Cr Gibb is also chair of the waste management group.

As is her current habit, Mr Emu has gone online for succour and infor-mation.

She has found a relevant document on the shire website* that includes a magical piece of bureaucrat-speak relating to tips – the “Alternative Resource Recovery Treatment facil-

ity (ARRT)” –even though Melbourne doesn’t have one, whatever an ARRT is, with or without an “F” (for facility).

The shire document makes a big deal, for reasons not immediately ob-vious to either Emu, about confl ict of interest.

“Listen to this!” shouts Mrs Emu, reading aloud what her patient spouse is quite able to read silently. “It talks about council making decisions wear-ing different hats. Easy for any two-faced ones, I suppose.”

She reads, also loudly, to her audi-ence of one:

“Critically it is important that coun-cil blah blah note and acknowledge when a confl ict of interest exists blah blah blah. It doesn’t matter whether the con fl ict of interest is a direct or an indirect blah blah.

“It is also important that blah blah councillors blah blah blah make deci-sions with an open mind blah blah able to take a decision without prejudice or bias.”

“Now listen carefully to this next bit,” says the blushing bride, “some mistake, surely?”

She reads on slowly “... and that they have approached the decision having adopted a predetermined position in rela tion to the matter”.

She looks at Emu. “Isn’t adopting a predetermined position exactly what councillors are supposed not to do? Doesn’t that contradict the ‘with an open mind’ and ‘without prejudice or bias’ bits?”

Emu agrees a word is missing, pos-sibly “not” before “having adopt ed”. But he might be wrong; the ways of the

shire are mysterious indeed. The mystery is deepened by the

docu ment’s next headline, “How can council help members of the com-munity oppose the proposed landfi ll?” Then come 170 words that say ef fec-tively: “We can’t help. We have to be open-minded.”

How different from a year or so ago, thinks Emu, when the shire stridently opposed the Victorian Electoral Com-mission’s proposal for multi-member wards!

So much for the now-relied on need to be unbiased, the “... long established rules, and legal precedents, about how council, and individual councillors, must conduct themselves when deci-sions are to be taken”.

A year ago, the shire, from top to bottom, was urging the community by letter – “460 of them,” Mrs Emu in-terposes helpfully – and other means (the shire propaganda sheet Peninsula-Wide) to oppose the VEC.

All shire guns blazed in this blatant display of bias: submissions and ap-pearances before the VEC public hear-ing, material published on the shire website and in other places. It included some material so extreme it could have come from the HQ of that funny little chap who runs North Korea.

Then the shire wrote to the electoral commissioner accusing him of bias.

The shire’s “Ten Tests of Effective Local Government” is a classic of the spin genre. Now the shire is advising, without a blush:

“Council through its offi cers can provide information but it is not ap-propriate for council, councillors or

council offi cers to provide advice to any party involved, or interested, in a particular development application or approval process.”

Emu reads this to mean councillors are effectively being told they are not to have a “bias” about the rubbish tip – or any development or approval – if ratepayers ask their opinion.

This will make for interesting debate when they are called on to decide the matter – 11 abstentions, perhaps?

Emu tries to recall the statement shire CEO Michael Kennedy made about Dr Kennedy, and shire staff, be-ing “Switzerland”.

Mrs Emu knows. “He said ‘...We are professionally indifferent ... we are ‘Switzerland’, meaning that we do not ‘take sides’. And he’s perfectly right. But ‘indifferent’? That’s the wrong word.”

She quotes from her dictionary: “Indif ferent – an indifferent perfor-mance: mediocre, ordinary, average, mid dling, middle-of-the-road, unin-spir ed, undistinguished ...”

“But is that what the CEO meant? Surely he meant ‘Objective, disinter-ested, impartial, dispassionate, even-handed and open-minded?’ That’s it! ‘Open-minded’, as the shire says coun-cillors must be about the tip – if they haven’t got a confl ict of interest.”

But Emu is not listening. He can’t get the thought of the boom, boom, boom of the fright guns out of his head. As bad, or even worse, than his bride at her most forceful fortissimo. * Search www.mornpen.vic.gov.au for “Proposed Landfi ll at Boundary Road, Dromana”.

PENINSULA Support Services carer support program has moved from Mornington to Rosebud.

The program, which provides sup-port for carers and families of people with mentally illness, relocated last week in response to higher demand in the Rosebud area.

The service had been in Morning-ton for nearly three years and assisted more than 160 carers.

Individuals and families caring for people with a diagnosed mental illness are given one-on-one support and res-pite care options.

However, carer support and family engagement worker David Goschnick said many carers on the peninsula were not aware of the help available.

A high proportion of “hidden” car-ers had been identifi ed in the Rosebud area, he said, prompting the relocation of the service’s carer support team to new premises on Point Nepean Rd.

The program is funded by the fed-eral Department of Families, Housing,

Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

Mr Goschnick said the program “recognises the important and dif-fi cult, but often overlooked, role that carers have in providing support every day to friends or family members with a mental illness.

“Our program is unique in providing carer support workers who are linked directly to the Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation Support Service com-ponent of the mental health system.

“In acknowledging and promoting the carer’s role within the ‘recovery’ process, workers assist in linking both the carer and the person they care for to appropriate services and supports.

“This enables carers and families to better cope with their role, improve their relationship with the person they support and balance their own life.”

MORE than 50 passengers have signed up to the free PenBus for students, job-seekers, apprentices and trainees.

The service is a joint venture of Mornington Peninsula Shire and Ventura Buslines, paid for by the federal government and launched at Chisholm Institute’s Rosebud campus.

Two PenBus routes run from Rose-bud to Monash University at Clayton via Frankston station and Hastings to Chisholm Institute at Rosebud through Mornington.

“Many of our young people want to work and study but the previous lack of transport options made this diffi -cult,” mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said.

“PenBus offers a free, convenient transport solution for people in the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston areas who need to travel to further their studies.

“The service also aims to address some of the challenges caused by local retrenchments and unemployment, and the free service is also available for job seekers and workers travelling to and from interviews.”

PenBus schedules are timed for morning passengers to arrive at their destination for standard business and campus opening hours, and give pas-sengers working or studying outside the region a connection to both Hast-ings and Frankston railway stations.

“With the buses providing sustain-able transport to both our peninsula and Clayton campuses, students from the Mornington Peninsula will have a tremendous choice of courses and op-portunities at Monash,” Monash Uni-versity’s environmental sustainability director Paul Barton said.

Chisholm Institute CEO Maria Peters

said the free service between Rosebud, Frankston and Monash Clayton pro-vided “easier access to pathway oppor-tunities from certifi cates right through to higher education at Chisholm Insti-tute as well as for our young second- and third-year apprentices”.

“Having a direct, free transport link from Hastings to Rosebud will now enable quality vocational education to be accessed by the young people in that region.

Peninsula and Frankston region resi-dents can apply for free access to Pen-Bus services if they are a full-time, or part-time tertiary student, formally en-rolled in study, a registered apprentice or trainee or a jobseeker.

All PenBus services have free wifi and are wheelchair accessible. For timetables, routes and to sign up go to www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/PenBus

Should We Fear God?“Fear God & Keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil”. (Eccl 11:13+14 Bible). What is the fear of God? Does that mean He just lives to punish all us sinners? NO NO NO, in fact the opposite. It’s by having a healthy reverence & fear of God that we come into receiving from Him all that we need & desperately want in our lives. Love, Joy, peace, freedom, forgiveness, healing & strength. In fact life itself....to it’s fullest experience & satisfaction. God is doing His outmost to lead us & offer us the right advice & direction. It’s us who are self centred, deceitful & untrue & ungodly in our ways....Then we have the nerve to blame God for the outcome & consequences of our ways, attitudes & wrong decisions. God want’s to free us from our own driving destructive force within us & the very nature of mankind. He knows that if we live to please ourselves & not take notice & obey His commandments & advice to us, then we will destroy ourselves in this life & also pay the very dear price in the life to come. God sent His son Jesus into the world to pay the price for us & through His sacrifice we are offered freedom, atonement & pardon. However we need to believe & receive that free gift of God’s forgiveness & salvation. We need to acknowledge our sins & change our ways to please & serve Him in obedience to what He knows is right for us. Namely, love

one another, as this covers all God’s commandments. And most of all, love Him! His great loving heart toward us offers us a way that is right, & the benefits are for eternity.God is just, fair & holy. He requires us to be also. Isn’t it time? Come to God!

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 June 1913.WHILST out driving on Saturday af-ternoon last, a very unfortunate acci-dent befell Mr W. D. Waters and Miss Waters. Miss Waters was driving at a moderate pace, when at the top of Main-street, Mornington, the horse suddenly reared and swerved round, with the result that Mr Waters was thrown violently from the jinker. The horse bolted up the Dromana road with Miss Waters in the trap, which eventually capsised. Miss Waters re-ceived a severe shaking and abrasions and has since been confi ned to her bed. Mr Waters had his shoulder dis-located. Both were attended to by Dr Somers, and we are pleased to state, are progressing favorably.

***AN accident that may easily have been attended with serious results occurred in Frankston on Wednesday. Miss Jol-ly was driving a spirited pony along Bay street, and when turning the cor-ner into Playne street, she lost control of the pony, which narrowly missed running into one of the ornamental trees. Miss Jolly was thrown heavily, but luckily, the ground was soft and, beyond a severe shaking, she suffered no serious injury. The pony continued its mad career and, when captured, the jinker was found to be rather badly damaged, but the pony was not injured.

***THE necessity of establishing a fi re station has for some time been recog-nised by the residents of Carrum. They long ago collected enough money to buy a base reel and other appliances,

but subscriptions then became hard to get, and despairing of being able to let a contract for the work within a reasonable period, it was resolved to convene a working bee of volunteers to put up the station. Operations were commenced by about 30 men at 8am on Saturday, and by dusk a two-roomed building had been erected, one apartment of which is large enough to hold the apparatus, while the other is to be used for meet-ings and offi ce work. The ladies of the township provided refreshments. Only one thing is wanting to complete the premise according to require-ments, and that is a tower to hold an alarm bell. The bell is in hind and the tower will be added shortly.

***DR Sidney Plowman, F.R.C.S., Eng. has been appointed Scientifi c Secre-tary to the Australasian Pharmaceuti-cal Conference.

***A DANCE in aid of the Frankston football club takes placed this (Sat-urday) evening. No pains are being spared to make the function a success, and there should be a good attendance of football supporters.

***AT Healesville recently, trophies were presented to Mr B. Baxter for high-est batting average (66) during the past season, and an umbrella for the highest batting average in the county match. Mr O. Pettit was also presented with a silver cruet for the second best bowling average.

***DEPOSITORS in the State Savings Bank are reminded by advertisement that the Inspector (Mr E. J. Armstrong)

will be in attendance at the Frankston bank on Thursday, 3rd July, and at the Mornington bank Friday, 4th July, for the annual inspection of pass books. It is incumbent upon every depositor to produce his pass-book at this time.

***THE Somerville Fruitgrowers Ladies’ Guild are holding a plain, fancy and poster ball in August, for which prizes are being donated by the following gentlemen for the best dresses in both fancy and poster for ladies and gents: Meesrs Croft Bros., Coop, Keast, Kelly, Wm. Noble, C Grant, Meldrum, and G. Shepherd. The prizes consist of a silver-mounted pipe, silver hand mirror, afternoon tea-set, gents um-brella, etc.

***TWO saloon keepers came into a train where Gipsy Smith, the evangelist, was seated. They monopolised all the conversation. Gipsy was hidden behind a newspaper, but he could not help hearing all that was said. Finally one of the men said: “Mr Smith, we know you, and we want to say that unless you evangelists and ministers stop your knocking at the liquor busi-ness the publicans will have to go to the poor-house.” “All right,” said the evangelist, “when you go in all the rest of the inmates can come out.”

***MR M. Flanagan, of Toolamba, presi-dent of the Tatura football club, has purchased a building allotment in Playne Street, Frankston, and pro-poses to build a summer residence thereon. This makes a total of thirty four blocks recently bought and resold by Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, at an average of £2 6s per foot. The fact, of

thirty-four country traders and leading public men in their respective towns having interests in Frankston must serve as a valuable standing advertise-ment to that town as a seaside resort, and in consequence, there should be many summer visitors in Frankston from distant country towns in the fu-ture to whom previously the advan-tages of our town were unknown.

***CARRUM, Chelsea and Aspendale residents are delighted that Dr J. P. Fogerty has settled in Chelsea, and will practise his profession in their district. In the medical profession, Dr Fogarty has a high reputation, and as a citizen should prove of great worth.The popular doctor, in sporting circles, is quite a champion, having until re-cently been the champion footballer of the University and South Melbourne football clubs. At tennis, rowing and cricket he is also an expert, and is al-ready proving a valuable acquisition to the town.

***MR James Westley, as executor of the late Mr Charles Wright, has for-warded to the undermentioned Chari-ties, as benefi ciaries under the will of deceased, the following amounts: Half yearly instalments - Melbourne Hospital, £61 17s 9d; Alfred Hospi-tal, £45 9s 8d; Homeopathic Hospital, £16 12s 6d; Poor Boxes at Melbourne City Court, South Melbourne Court, Collingwood Court, Fitzroy Court, £5 each; Poor of Mornington, £40. Quarterly Instalments - Melbourne Benevolent Asylum, children’s Hospi-tal, Austin Hospital, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Blind Asylum, £42 each.

***

MR A. Schleebs, who has for the past six years been organist at St Peter’s Church of England, Mornington, wits, on Tuesday evening last, made the re-cipient of a handsome pearl and tour-maline necklet, as a mark of esteem in which she was held by the vestry and members of the choir. Mrs Schleebs has been connected with the choir for sixteen years and is now relinquishing her duties as organist.

***AMONGST the entrants for the Grand National Steeplechase, to be run at Flemington next month, we note the steeplechasers Lord Emms and Ze-phron, horses that are well known locally and have the reputation of be-ing good jumpers. The winner of this race will receive in stake money about £2000. Probably Mr Claude Grice, of Frankston, will ride his own horse, Lord Emms, and the pilot of Zephron will probably be Mr M. J. Farrel, also well known in Frankston.

***A COMMITTEE meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club was held on Thursday evening, when the following members were present: Dr Maxwell (president), Mrs Deane, Mrs Dialman, Miss D. Gregory, Rev G. A. Kitchen, Mr A. G. Young, and the hon. sec. (Miss Brody). A detailed account of last year’s expenditure was tabled by the secretary and approved. It was decided to procure a loud of gravel to put on the clay near the en-trance. The secretary was instructed to procure prices for re-making the old court, and report at a future meeting. It was decided, after a full discus-sion, that the annual ball be held on Wednesday, 17th September.

The storyIn our busy world of today it’s easy to forget to take a little time away from all the hustle and bustle, but when you walk into beach162 it’s like a world away from it all. Situated roughly 1km from Frankston’s CBD on Beach St, this great little venue is like stepping across the world into Europe. With beautiful dining rooms inspired by Rome, Venice and Morocco, it’s easy to see why people love coming here. “For years this was the site of stables for the old dairy which serviced Frankston in the 1950’s and 60’s” says the new owner Lachlan Doughty. “ Then it became the local Nursery which it remained for many years. Most people still thought of it as a nursery as recently as a few months ago as there was a high painted fence preventing people from seeing into the beautiful restaurant. Not many really knew what lay behind the fence but now we are showing everyone the exciting venue that is beach 162”.“We want each and every one of our clients to have an experience when they come through our doors... a little piece of Europe right in their own backyard. We have a mosaic wood-fired pizza oven and a ladies bathroom that seems to transport you to the rolling hills of Italy. There is nothing quite like beach162 anywhere we’ve seen and our dedicated team would love to share it with you all”. The menu has influences from Eastern Europe and many of the great modern Australian dishes that we have all grown to love. The wood-fired pizzas we tried were spectacular and as of July 3rd, they will be served in the new pizza/tapas bar which will be a groovy little spot for pre-dinner drinks or just to grab a casual bite to eat. Live music in the pizza/tapas bar will be coming on the first Friday of every month and I’m told will also be on Sundays in the Roman beer garden once the warmer weather arrives. Would I recommend beach 162... absolutely! To find out more or book a table, call 9783 7109 or go to www.beach162.com.au

The dining experienceOn first entering beach 162 it took us back to our European travels several years ago. The décor, the wrought iron, the different rooms, each with its own theme, make it unlike any of the usual restaurants we frequent. The friendly staff made us feel immediately welcome & as we sat we noticed this particular room was a Roman garden with a ceiling reminding us of our visit to the Sistine Chapel.We looked over the menu and the separate list of daily specials and I decided to go with the wood-fired Roast Duck Pizza, topped with fresh red onion, Greek fetta, and house-made BBQ sauce for $18.90. I was not disappointed! My partner had the grilled Saganaki and sautéed calamari with chilli, garlic, lemon and wild rocket for entrée ($15.90) which was as tender as it was tasty, followed by the special New Zealand Salmon fillet served on a bed of warm potato & Chorizo salad with spinach & hollandaise ($26.50).Although we were already more than satisfied, what is a meal without a dessert? There were a selection of cakes, crumbles and meringue but my heart was set on the house-made Tiramisu ($9.50) which my partner and I shared. I don’t know what they put in this Tiramisu but it was one of the finest I have ever tasted!We had a wonderful evening with very attentive staff and delicious food and wine that didn’t break the budget! If you are looking for a unique venue for a relaxing night out and unlike anything you’ve seen locally, I can highly recommend giving beach 162 a try. You be the Judge...

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughTHERE are just two things in this world I can’t stand: intolerance and the left handed. I just know they’re out there, living their left-handed lives, oblivious to the simmering contempt in which I hold them. It fairly sends a chill down my spine to think that I may well pass these mutants on the street without so much as realizing it. Sometimes I secretly suspect that they’re planning to gang up on me, to give me the beating of my life, albeit using the wrong hand.

Before you south-pawed freaks of nature defy the natural order and use that tragically over-developed left hand to compose a stern letter of com-plaint, let me assure you that I suspect my bigotry would melt as surely as sugar in rain if I actually knew a few lefties. Besides, I don’t really hate left-handed people. I just feel a little sorry for them. After all, who wants to go through life unable to use a right-handed can opener? Or regular scis-sors?

I’ll admit that I’ve kept this thought to myself until now and, quite frankly, it feels kind of good to get it off my chest. No doubt my views will come as something of a shock to well-meaning leftoids who were previously oblivious to the bitter resentment that percolates daily beneath my skin.

But I know all too well that there’s nothing so bad as learning that you’re the target of denigration. For years I

have been left to live a life that is free of vilifi cation. I have offended no one. If I have been noticed by others at all, it is only for the purpose of be-ing ignored. Suddenly, all that has now changed and I fi nd, unexpectedly, that I too am a fi gure of hate.

There’s no easy way to put this – I am a man and I own several blue ties.

At the time, I had no inkling of the depth of offence I was causing to oth-ers. Like a blue rag to a bull, I have been unwittingly taunting people in what can only be described as a vulgar display of unbridled machismo.

Forget unruly moustaches or a chest

carpet thick and lustrous enough to create dreadlocks – testosterone these days is a lot less hairy and a good deal more neat casual.

No one was more surprised than I to hear our Prime Minister speak about her loathing of men in blue ties.

Personally, I fi nd it a little under-whelming. As far as a dystopian vi-sion of the future goes, it strikes me as something that still needs a little work. Imagine if George Orwell’s 1984 had presented his vision of a world domi-nated not by Big Brother and members of ‘the Party’ but of men in blue ties?

He’d be almost certainly out of print

by now. But since that speech, I’ve given a lot of thought to this hitherto undeclared hostility and, suddenly, in a blinding fl ash, I came to a realization after which a strange sense of calm descended up me. The penny dropped, rolled into the storm water drain and would never be seen again. ‘This,’ I thought to myself, ‘Explains every-thing.’

For some time now I have felt peo-ple looking at me with contempt. At fi rst, I thought they simply disagreed with my decision to sing along to my I-pod while on public transport. It now occurs to me that they were merely reacting to the instrument of oppres-sion that I was dangling right in front of their faces.

I could, of course, blame others for their intolerance but that would be the easy way out. No sir. The appropriate thing to do here is to hold a mirror up to myself, remove my tie and question my motivations for wearing the cursed thing in the fi rst place. It’s no accident that I wore a blue tie. Rather, it was clearly an act of aggression that cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged.

I should know better. As a kid, I was regarded as being a little different be-cause I took piano lessons. In Tyabb and in the 1970s, this kind of fl amboy-ance was a direct challenge to societal norms. Other kids made their feelings known, sneering and teasing me on a regular basis. I don’t know why they resented me so much. Perhaps they

were jealous or had their own musical ambitions thwarted. Or maybe they were left handed and simply angry at the world at large. Who knows? The point is, it confused me then as surely as it puzzles me still.

I guess that’s how I felt about the whole blue tie fi asco. For an instant, I felt surprised at having (possibly) done the wrong thing, at least accord-ing to somebody else. It was never my intention. The part of me that’s eager to please is more than willing to make the switch to bow ties or even that strange stringy thing so beloved by Texan businessmen.

Chances are, though, that someone would fi nd something else to which they object. Prejudice is a bit like that. It’s petty, illogical and owes every-thing to fear rather than rationality. Enough is enough.

Perhaps we all have our biases; our ingrained prejudices that bubble to the surface when we’re not looking. May-be we can all do a little better.

This week, I will avoid wearing a blue tie. It’s not really about shunning a type of neckwear, more a sign that I am more than willing to back off if you are. Others should try to be a little nicer. Even if we have to shut the inter-net for a couple of weeks, it’s a small price to pay. As for the left handed, try doing things normally this week and see how you like it. www.stuartmccullough.com

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyMT ELIZA sits clear in outright second place on the Peninsula League ladder after a dominant display against Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday.

While this was billed as the game of the round, it was the match down the road at Chelsea that had footy people talking.

The Seagulls won their second game of the season, outclassing a struggling Seaford by 17 points.

The Seaford Tigers’ fi nals aspirations are in big trouble after the loss.

In other matches, Bonbeach got its season back on track with a win against Pines, Frankston YCW belted Mornington, and Karingal proved too strong for Langwarrin.

In a season with little separating the top teams, Mt Eliza and Edithvale went toe to toe for outright second position.

For the loser, it was still battle time against all other teams vying for a place in the fi nals.

In the corresponding game earlier in the season, the Redlegs were smashed by Edi-Asp, losing by more than seven

goals.But the Redlegs’ form in recent

times has been superb and many believed Mt Eliza would continue on its merry way.

In the fi rst quarter, the Redlegs got the jump with four goals to one and by half-time the margin was 37 points.

The only break-even quarter for Edi-Asp was the fi nal term, when both sides booted 3.2.

The fi nal score was 16.10-106 to 9.10-64.

Scott Lockwood put on a show yet again with six goals for the Redlegs while Josh Norman was unstoppable again with three.

Daine Taylor and Ben Lean dominated and Tim Strickland was a handful in attack with two goals.

Brent Bowden was the Eagles’ best with three goals and Tim Mannix and Adam Budge worked hard.

Mt Eliza coach Jason Watts said it was a very important win.

“With the competition as close as it is, you have to keep winning and maintain momentum,” Watts said.

“We’ve been playing some really good footy, footy that we believe is

good enough to beat any side.“Edithvale touched us up in round

two and it was important we turned the table on them.

“I think we’re still a way off our best footy but we are certainly building towards it,”

Seaford is in eighth position on the ladder, a game and more than 25 per cent outside the fi ve, after losing to bottom side Chelsea 13.6-84 to 9.13-67.

A betting person would say the Tigers can no longer make the top fi ve. While there is still plenty of footy to be played, the closeness of the competition dictates that you cannot be this far off the pace. Its percentage is going to hurt it at the business end.

On Saturday, the injury-ravaged Tigers were not competitive after quarter time.

Tigers’ coach Craig McIndoe said there were more than a half a dozen changes to the side that lost to Langwarrin the week before.

“We all get injuries and it gives opportunity to others in the under-18s and reserves, but it does make things pretty hard,” McIndoe said.

Chelsea has continued to stick at it and its performances are becoming a lot more consistent after a horror start to the year.

Jason Clark kicked three goals for the Seagulls, while Hudson Thomas and Luke Clark also booted three each. It was a day for the Clarks with Bradley getting best on round.

Teenager Mitch White was Seaford’s best, while skipper Aaron Walton led from the front.

Bonbeach jumped back into the top fi ve after beating Pines 11.12-78 to 7.13-55.

Ricky Ferraro, Mark Tyrell, Shane McDonald and Paul Rebeschini dominated for the Sharks.

The visitors got away to a good start and opened up a three-goal break at the fi rst change, before extending it to 28 points at half-time. The fi nal margin was 23 points.

Aaron Ludewig, Adam Maling and Shaun Stewart were the best of the Pythons.

Chris Hay returned for Karingal on Saturday against Langwarrin and had an immediate impact with fi ve goals for the Bulls.

After a tight fi rst half where just three points separated the sides at the break, the Bulls kicked away in the third term with fi ve goals to one.

The fi nal margin was 31 points, 13.8-86 to 8.7-55.

The win saw the Bulls go back inside the fi ve, just percentage behind Edi-Asp for a top-three spot.

Aaron Paxton and Sam McGarry were outstanding for the Bulls while Andrew Fowler was good once again.

Langwarrin’s Beau Muston was arguably best on ground and his performance included a towering mark.

Andrew Withers and Shane Urbans were also very good for the Kangas, who just can’t seem to beat Karingal.

Frankston YCW was due to thrash a side and it did so against Mornington on Saturday, winning 16.17-113 to 6.9-45.

Scott McLeod and Kyle Hutchison booted three goals each for the Stonecats while Riley Santon and Jack Mazurek were major contributors.

Anthony Franchina, Lucas Forato and Michael Bray were the best of the Doggies.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyCRIB Point kept its fi nals aspirations alive with a strong, come-from-behind win over Hastings in the battle of Western Port.

The Magpies have experienced an up and down season, dropping their opening three games before winning four on the trot.

Before Saturday’s game against arch-rival Hastings, the Pies had lost their previous two matches.

Without question, Crib Point’s season was on the line.

Despite having as much of the football and probably even more than the Blues at various stages during the match, it couldn’t convert opportunities.

At half-time, the Pies had four more scoring shots but trailed by a point.

At three-quarter time, despite the efforts of Luke Herrington in attack and through the middle, and David Cook playing through the pivot, the Magpies still trailed by seven points.

The last quarter was a cracker, the Pies again inaccurate with 4.9 for the quarter, against Hastings’ 3.3. The Pies almost kicked themselves out of it but eventually got home in a thriller 14.22-106 to 15.11-101.

Luke Herrington was best on the ground with three goals. Sammy Austin and Dean Kairies also booted

three each. Matty Sloper continued his good form and Dave Lawson led from the front.

Colin McVeigh fi nished with four for the Blues, and Tony Mirabella and Glenn Michie kicked three each. Mick Agnello and Josh Mulheron played their best games of the season, and David Hull put in another strong performance.

The Magpies are sixth on the ladder, a game and 17 per cent behind Pearcedale.

Pearcedale maintained its position in the top fi ve when it smashed Devon Meadows by 68 points.

In what was expected to be a close contest, given Pearcedale’s poor form, the visitors completely outclassed their shell-shocked opponents, virtually winning the game in the fi rst quarter by kicking eight goals to zip.

Former Melbourne high-fl yer Russell Robertson was expected to line up for Devon, but his home club wouldn’t clear him.

By half-time, the winner had been decided, the Dales leading 13.7 to 1.5. The single Devon Meadows goal came late in time-on in the second quarter.

Daniel Murray and Matthugh Vagg booted three goals and two goals respectively in the fi rst half, but had little infl uence in the second as the home side pushed numbers behind the ball. Devon’s sole focus was to prevent another 100-point blow-out.

The fi nal score was 16.16-112 to 6.8-48.

Pat Cadd was clearly best on ground with 34 possessions and four goals. Chris Fortnam had 29 touches, and Chris Hensby and Ben Cadd were dominant through the middle of the ground.

Khalid Foggi played his best game for the club at half-forward, providing plenty of run, while the likes of Matty White, Dean Janssen, Travis Sauer and Andrew Douglas also were dominant.

There wasn’t a lot to get excited about for Devon. Callum O’Hare was sensational in the ruck with 25 possessions and more than 10 marks, while Troy Aust kicked four of the team’s six goals.

Frankston Bombers lost its second game on the trot on Saturday, smashed by more than 10 goals by ladder leader and reigning premier Sorrento.

After a tight fi rst quarter, the Sharks kicked away in the second and led by seven goals at half-time.

The margin was still seven goals at three-quarter time before the visitors booted fi ve goals to one in the last to record a comfortable win 17.13-115 to 7.5-47.

Leigh Poholke booted fi ve for the winners and Zac Byrns kicked four, while Trevor Mattison, Cayden Beetham and Leigh Treeby were outstanding yet again.

The Bombers went into the game

with a number of changes, including James Degenhart, Jay Reynolds, Marcus Bate and Brian O’Carroll not playing.

Shane Vandervalk had his fi rst game for the season and performed well.

Somerville came into its Saturday match against Dromana in red hot form, but it mattered little against the most devastating side in the competition.

The Tigers had 12 scoring shots to three in the opening quarter and fi nished with 42 scoring shots to 16.

The fi nal margin was 91 points, 20.22-142 to 7.9-51.

The Tigers had 11 goalkickers. Terry Wheeler, Dan Gormley and Daniel Waddell fi nished with three each, and Stuart Cleeve dominated the contest.

Luke Collie and Ben Sedgewick led the way for the Eagles.

Rosebud once again took the big stick to its opponent, smashing Tyabb by 121 points.

After starting the season playing a defensive style of game, the Buds have kicked big scores in the past couple of weeks, this time booting a massive 26.18-174 to 8.5-53.

Ben Schultz made it 14 goals in two matches with another bag of seven. Perhaps the big fella is starting to get an appetite for goals again after spending a few matches in defence.

Matty Payne kicked fi ve goals and Keegan Downie was superb also with

four goals, while Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft were outstanding.

Ash Waterstone was the chief contributor up front for the visitors with three goals, while Ash Ballinger and Jake Anderson worked tirelessly.

Rye stars Darren Booth and Adam Kirkwood dominated once again for their team on Saturday, together with skipper Rhett Sutton to outclass Red Hill.

During the week, the Demons drew a line in the sand and reprimanded four players, including Sean Cain and Jai Lloyd, for failing to attend a compulsory club function.

The stand from the club made a big difference to the attitude of the group and it got away to a fl yer.

But despite the fl ying start, booting 7.6 to one goal in the opening quarter, the Demons let the opposition back into the contest and led by just 16 points at three-quarter time.

However with Ben Holmes fi nishing with fi ve goals and Andrew Dean three, together with good performances from Ryan Taylor and Ben Winters-Kerr, the Demons were able to kick away in the last and win 14.19-103 to 10.5-65.

Jake Mold booted three goals and was clearly Red Hill’s best player, while Peter Dal Lago and Tommy Carter also worked hard for four quarters.

MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard

BASEBALLMORNINGTON Baseball Club’s B1 team was soundly beaten by Bonbeach on Saturday in round nine with the umpire evoking the 15/5 mercy rule.

Mornington 7 lost to Bonbeach 23. The Pirates could not fi re on the

mound against Bonbeach. Bonbeach was restricted slightly

by McGough in the second and third innings but after his replacement the fl oodgates opened. Some poor defence added to the woes.

Hits for the Pirates included Fenton 1, M Meates 2, McGough 2, Kay 1, Maskiell 1, Butler 1, Thomas 1 and McNamara 2.

The highlight of the game for Mornington was the massive home run by McNamara in the third innings.

Other games:B2 Mornington vs Bonbeach

This week saw the Pirates go up against an under-strength Bluejays side on their home turf.

The Pirates’ hitters jumped out to a strong lead, with big-hitting Shane Brisbane leading the way with three home runs, a triple, double and a single to fi nish off a dominant batting display.

With another strong display, the Pirates’ pitchers shut down any hope of a Bluejays comeback, winning the game 35-4.

C2 Mornington vs BoneoConsistent pitching by Van backed

up by good work behind the dish by

Rhys and Tristan and with the batters fi ring for the fi rst time saw C2 win 16 to 9 over Boneo.

Highlight of the game was fi rst year player Stuart Wyatt hitting a grand slam as well as 2 doubles, backed up by Gary Barnett getting 4 hits and Hannah Le Blanc 3 including a forehand smash that Sam Stosur would be proud of.

JuniorsUnder-15 Mornington Pirates vs Dingley Blue

The boys travelled to Dingley on Saturday to take on one of the yardsticks of the competition.

In frosty conditions the boys scored 4 runs in 4 innings thanks to some good on-base work by Hafey-Bagg and Jackson in particular.

Paterson and Jackson pitched superbly, yielding just 6 runs in 4 innings. Hafey-Bagg called a solid game behind the plate. Coles and Storm made some great defensive plays on hard-hit balls.

Never happy to lose a game, the boys are showing tremendous levels of improvement in skills and attitude.

Under-15 Mornington Black vs Moorabbin Panthers

Pirates 5 lost to Moorabbin 8. This close-fought game saw both

teams restricted to eight players.Some poor defence allowed the

Panthers to take the lead. A late chase in the sixth was beaten

by the clock.Pierson was dominant at bat. Safe

hits to Pierson 2, Isbister 1. Great pitching by Bald and Pierson.
