Rates rises defendedCOUNCILLORS are expected to sign off on Kingston Council’s 2014-15 budget next week after seeking com-munity feedback on the draft budget released earlier this month.

Several public submissions were received from Kingston ratepayers including a question asking why both rate revenues and council wage costs

are set to increase above the consumer price index.

The draft budget shows rates will rise 4.25 per cent, costing Kingston property owners an extra $70 on aver-age next year.

Council’s wage bill is poised to increase by $4 million to about $73 million in 2014-15. Staff numbers are expected to drop by fi ve full-time equivalents from 822 to 817.

The CPI is expected to rise 2.25 per

cent in 2014-15, according to Treasury modelling.

Kingston mayor Paul Peulich de-scribed the 4.25 per cent rates rise foreshadowed in the draft budget as “moderate” when it was released for public comment.

“Prudent fi nancial management en-sures the City of Kingston continues to deliver solid value for money to ratepayers,” he said at the time.

“Kingston’s rate increases have been

trending down in recent years.”Kingston’s rate rises have fallen in

size from 8 per cent in 2010-11 to 4.95 per cent in 2011-12, 4.95 per cent in 2012-13 and 4.45 per cent in 2013-14.

The draft budget reveals employee costs will jump by $4 million to allow for council’s Enterprise Bargaining Agreement.

Council offi cers replied to the sub-mission and stated: “CPI generally is not relevant to a local Government

Authorities cost structure.“Less than 10 per cent of council’s

expenditure is captured in the CPI basket… the CPI basket makes no allowance for expenditure necessary to address the maintenance backlog – currently $22 million (estimated) that is required to bring Council assets back to expected community stand-ard.”

AN elderly Patterson Lakes couple whose retirement holiday dreams had been shattered by the theft of their $70,000 caravan from the driveway of their home in broad daylight are grateful the caravan has been returned to them but are less than impressed at its condition.

Ron and Leonie Higman were just days from setting off on a three-month outback holiday adventure to Darwin when their fully loaded Jayco Sterling caravan was stolen on Thursday 10 July (‘Wig-wearing thief shatters holiday dream’, The News, 16/7/14)

Luckily, police on Thursday located their caravan at a Sunbury residence, along with a second caravan stolen from Invermay a week earlier.

A 35-year-old Queensland man was arrested and charged over the thefts after an off-duty police offi cer spotted the distinctive Toyota Hilux utility with the Higman’s caravan still attached in the back yard of the Sunbury property.

Unfortunately, the Higmans discovered their caravan had been “trashed” and, while they were happy to have it back, they won’t be able to go on their long-planned holiday.

“We’re very grateful to the police for helping get our caravan back, but we’re still very upset to see the state it was left in,” Mrs Higman said.

“There’s no major damage but there were a lot of things broken, like the locks and electrical wiring, and the inside has been completely trashed.

“All our personal items were strewn around inside and there are lot of things missing - strange things that you wouldn’t think worth stealing, like Ron’s underwear and socks,

‘Trashed’ caravan returned

toothbrushes, clothes. It was very odd.”

Mrs Higman said they would now have to take their caravan in for repairs and that it was too late to set off on their road trip to Darwin.

“We might try to get away for a quick holiday, but that’s it as far as big outback trip to Darwin goes. Hopefully we can get there next year.”

Police were optimistic of tracking down the two stolen caravans after clear images of the “distinctive” Toyota Hilux utility used in the robbery were widely circulated via police channels and the media.

Footage of the alleged thief driving off with the Bagman’s caravan was

captured by a neighbour’s security camera, while further footage was obtained following two unsuccessful robbery attempts in Monbulk on 30 June.

Jonny Jovic, from Scarborough, Queensland, has been charged with two counts of theft of caravan, two counts of attempted theft of caravan, theft of number plates, fi tting fraudulent number plates, possessing an article for burglary, theft and deception, possessing proceeds of crime, and possessing an article of disguise.

He was remanded in custody to face Broadmeadows Magistrates Court at a later date.

A CHELSEA family is hosting a night of comedy - along with a live auction, silent auction and raffl es – to raise money for a cause close to their hearts.

The proceeds will go towards the upbringing of their son, Maison, 9, who has severe autism and a chro-mosome 6 deletion.

To improve his quality of life, Mai-son’s family needs to raise $30,000 for an autism assistance dog – prob-ably a labradoodle - and its ongoing costs.

Mum Jodie Caldwell said the dog would play a vital role in her son’s development after being trained to suit his specifi c needs. Tethered to Maison it will help calm the boy’s anxieties and – through imaginative training techniques - encourage him to stop banging his head when frus-trated.

The condition causes Maison to be overwhelmed when in public, but knowing he always has a friend by his side will ease his fears and re-store calm.

Mrs Caldwell fi rst became aware of Maison’s autism when he was born with kidney problems, was slow to develop and lacked muscle tone. Later he was found to lack chromosome 6.

The costs to raise him – both in care and time – can be diffi cult for the family without help.

The Caldwells hope to have 400 guests at the fundraiser at the Com-

CARRUM Coast Guard are looking for new volunteer recruits to help during the upcoming boating season.

Commander Matt Semmens said Patterson River boat ramp is the busiest in Victoria and more members are needed to ensure Carrum Coast Guard can help those who may fi nd themselves in strife on the water.

“We have a second vessel currently in construction to assist with our workload and training which will help keep us at the forefront of marine search and rescue,” he said.

Volunteers can also join the coast guard’s CFA Coast Guard Brigade to be trained in marine fi re fi ghting and attain nationally recognised qualifi cations.

“Our primary rescue vessel CG07 is on patrol on weekends and public holidays from sunrise to sunset. The Search and Rescue team are on standby 24/7 and are activated by pagers,” Mr Semmens said.

Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Matt Semmens at Carrum Coast Guard at [email protected] or on 0417 765 772.

SURGERY to ease the suffering of long-term asthma sufferers is now available at Frankston Hospital. It is the fi rst time surgery to reduce the effects of asthma attacks on chronic asthma sufferers for whom traditional medications do not work has been offered in Victoria.

Peninsula Health’s director of thoracic medicine, Professor David Langton, performed the procedure for the fi rst time last week while accompanied by Harvard professor of medicine, Dr Armin Ernst, who pioneered the procedure.

The bronchial thermoplasty pro-cedure involves inserting a bron-choscope, or small tube, down the patient’s airway and into their lungs whilst they are under anaesthesia. A heat probe is then used to treat the muscles that cause bronchospasm.

“By weakening these muscles they will no longer be able to cause wheeze and asthma attacks,” Prof Langton said.

Debra Clarke is one of two patients for whom Professor Langton will be performing the surgery on for the fi rst time.

The 53-year-old mother of three has spent suffering from the effects of asthma since being diagnosed at 15 months of age.

“I’ve had asthma for as long as I can remember and nothing has ever been able to relieve the constant wheeziness. I’ve never been able to be as active as I want to be. I never played sports. Even in school I used to hide my head in my bag to take my puffer for fear of being labelled as not

Hospital sets state asthma surgery benchmarkHospital sets state asthma surgery benchmark

normal,” Ms Clarke said As a chronic asthma sufferer she

has spent her life on medication to try and relieve the constant heaviness in her chest.

“I’ve had all the traditional medica-tion and tried all the experimental trials I could, including going onto chemotherapy medication.

“I am now at the point where the constant use of cortisone steroids is having a signifi cant toll on my

body. My hair is thinning, my skin is weak and I am constantly covered in bruises. I have had to give up so much of my quality of life including my job because of my asthma.

“One of the side effects of the use of steroids to treat asthma is getting dia-betes. My dad, who was also a chronic asthma sufferer, passed away from steroid induced diabetes at 59. I really don’t want that to happen to me.”

Ms Clarke hopes the surgery will

reduce her reliance on the cortisone steroids, minimise their effects on her body, and reduce her risk of getting diabetes.

“Within six months I’m expect-ing to see my quality of life improve dramatically,” she said.

“I’m just looking forward to doing those things we take for granted like breathing and walking with ease and without the fear of suffering an at-tack.”

The bronchial thermoplasty is only available for patients following a specialist review. Patients must have severe and persistent asthma that is not well controlled despite taking cur-rently available medications.

Since the procedure was approved for use in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in

2013 it has been performed on less than 20 patients in hospitals in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

THE US city of Boston – home of the mighty Red Sox - is a long way from Bonbeach St Chad’s Baseball Club, but it’s the place pitcher Micah Burch and his wife, Julianne, are about to call home.

The keen clubman – who is a doctor of philosophy with a major in cardio-vascular biochemistry - has won a research position at the famed Brigham and Women’s Hospital which is affi liated with Harvard Medical School.

And, by happy coincidence, its base in suburban Brookline is only walking distance from Fenway Park, where the major league team plays.

At home in Frankston last week awaiting his visa and travel docu-ments, Burch, 28, said he would miss the local Bonbeach club where he’d played since age seven. He has fond memories of his father and his ‘tradie’ mates helping build the club-rooms at Bicentennial Park, Chelsea Heights.

Unfortunately, with no established amateur baseball league in Boston, Burch said he would most likely be watching games rather than playing. But that’s small beer compared to the thrill of just being there.

He described the job ‘application’ and ‘interview’ process as “pure serendipity”.

Talking long distance to a mate in the US with whom he did his PhD

studies, Burch heard the medical facility in which the mate worked was about to expand.

“There may be a position available soon and you’d do well here,” he was told. Interested, Burch emailed off a resume as an expression of interest and received word back that the hospital was keen to talk.

A Skype interview was arranged and his soon-to-be boss liked what he heard about the young man’s goals, aspirations and work ethic. Their stars had aligned and a job of-fer was made - which Burch grabbed with both hands.

“Now it’s a bit of a waiting game for the visa and travel documents to arrive,” he said yesterday. “But we are both looking forward to it.”

The couple has sold their Frankston home and Burch will jet off to Boston as soon as his docu-ments arrive, initially living with his mate before fi nding a place for Julianne – a teacher - and their two dogs.

The move is daunting, with Burch saying the couple was “in equal parts excited and fi lled with trepidation”.

That’s understandable: it’s not every day you start a new life half the world away.

PARKDALE Primary School will re-ceive a $500,000 upgrade if the ALP wins November’s state election, op-position leader Daniel Andrews an-nounced last week.

Mr Andrews joined Labor candi-date for Mordialloc, Tim Richardson, and opposition education spokesman James Merlino to deliver the news to parents and teachers.

The upgrade would refurbish exist-ing prep classrooms and provide open spaces in the school grounds. The school’s toilet block would also be re-furbished.

Mr Andrews said the Coalition had abandoned Labor’s plan to renovate, rebuild or modernise every Victorian government school.

He said that with the Napthine gov-ernment spending an average of only $278 million a year on capital works compared to an average state-wide spend of $467 million by Labor in its last term in offi ce, schools such as Parkdale Primary were being ne-glected.

“Kids can’t get a fi rst-rate education in a second-rate classroom,” Mr An-drews said.

“Denis Napthine abandoned Park-dale Primary, and only Labor will fi n-ish the upgrade and put our kids fi rst.”

Mr Richardson said the school works Labor had committed to would complete the “regeneration” of Park-dale Primary.

“Under the Liberals, schools are falling apart and our kids are falling behind,” he said.

School promise: Parkdale Primary principal Leanne Bradney discusses school funding with Labor candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson as Jacob and Ella look on.

BEAT police spoiled the party for an alleged drug dealer after uncovering a commercial quantity of crystal meth-amphetamines stashed behind a fake car stereo in Seaford last week.

The bust was made after a Carrum Downs divisional van unit pulled over a vehicle during a “routine intercept” in Brunell Rd last Saturday night.

While speaking to the driver of the vehicle, police noticed an “ice pipe” on the console.

Police then searched the vehicle and discovered a “fake” car stereo in the dash board, behind which they lo-cated a box contain 105 grams of ice value at around $100,000.

Two sets of digital scales, three mobile phones and a small amount of marijuana were also located in the ve-hicle, police said.

The was arrested and charged over a range of alleged offences, including drug traffi cking. Earlier the same evening, two off-duty police offi cers helped apprehend

a woman who crashed her car while more than four-times over the alcohol limit in Frankston.

The offi cers were driving in a pri-vate vehicle along Wells Rd about 10pm when they saw a car crash into a street sign near the Frankston Free-way overpass.

When the car failed to stop, the off-duty offi cers followed the vehicle and called Frankston police.

Police intercepted the car in Fay St, Frankston, where a 42-year-old woman was questioned and asked to undergo a breath test.

After returning a positive prelimi-nary breath analysis, the woman was taken to Frankston police station where she returned an offi cial reading .221 per cent. He licence was imme-diately suspended and she is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other traffi c offences.

“Parkdale Primary School is a proud and caring local school and our pledge will help it do so much more.”

However, the state government said Mr Andrews was “taking Victori-ans for fools if he thinks people have forgotten about the dire condition of our schools when Labor left offi ce in 2010”.

A statement released by the Coali-tion following a number of funding commitments made to schools by the opposition last week, including the Parkdale Primary announcement, ac-cused the ALP of giving “false hope to around 200 schools that they would be funded – and then walked away”.

“If Victorians want an indication of Mr Andrews’ ability to run an educa-tion system, they need look no further than the independent audit that found that a decade of Labor neglect left a

$420 million maintenance backlog for Victorian schools.

“In contrast, the Napthine Govern-ment invested $500 million in school capital projects in the most recent state budget.”

Coalition funding commitments for schools include $300,000 for Kananook Primary School, $540,000 for Belvedere Park Primary School, $875,000 for Seaford North and Sea-ford primary schools, and $1 million for Patterson River Secondary Col-lege.

Frankston High School was the big-gest winner from the state budget, with the government announcing the school would receive a guaranteed $8.5 mil-lion this year for major redevelopment works and a further $10 million should the Coalition retain power at the No-vember election.

A PLAY with an intriguing plot will entertain audiences at Shirley Burke Theatre, Parkdale, from 1-9 August.

Blood Brothers, by Aspendale’s Aspect Thea-tre Company, is directed by Jane Court with mu-sical direction by Celia Riley and choreography by Ashleigh Boyce.

It tells the story of Mrs Johnstone, a woman deserted by her husband and with a houseful of children to feed. To make matters worse, she learns she is pregnant with twins which she can-not afford to keep. To help make ends meet, she cleans for the wealthy Mrs Lyons who is child-less and yearns for a family of her own.

Hearing of Mrs Johnstone’s plight, Mrs Ly-ons persuades her to hand over one of the twins for her to bring up as her own. In desperation Mrs Johnstone agrees and a plan is hatched. The women share an oath that neither child will learn of the other’s existence “or they will both die”.

The two boys grow up near each other but in two starkly different worlds. Mickey Johnstone grows up on the streets, hanging around with his siblings and neighbourhood children, which leads to trouble with his job, the law and his emotional and mental state. In contrast, Edward Lyons has a privileged upbringing, goes to uni-versity and becomes a local councillor.

Despite their differences, and the best efforts of Mrs Lyons to keep the boys apart, they meet and become best friends – “blood brothers”. They also fall in love with the same girl, Linda, who marries Mickey but retains feelings for Ed-die.

The “brothers” grow from boys to men with their lives intertwining through the years until the shattering climax, in which the prophecy made by Mrs Lyons so long ago is fulfi lled.

The main cast members are John Davidson as the narrator, Ash Cooper as Mickey, Phil Lam as Eddie, Rachel Ledgerwood as Mrs Johnstone and Katie Lewis as Mrs Lyons.

Aspect Theatre Company is a community group hosting musical theatre and stage produc-tions in July and August each year. Founded in 1998 the non-profi t organisation provides qual-

ity entertainment as well as encouraging local participation both on the stage and behind the scenes.

“Coastal groups can apply for small grants of up to $7,000 and medium grants between $7,000 and $20,000,” Ms Wreford said.

“This next round of grants will fur-ther build on the success of these pro-jects.

“These grants aim to protect King-ston’s coastal areas by funding our lo-cal community groups to take part in important coastal protection work.”

My journey with Ella Bache began 18 years ago. I'd always had a keen interest in the beauty industry, so I decided to return to school to do a part-time Diploma of Beauty

a weekend position as a Beauty Therapist in an Ella Bache salon and I loved the work. I left my 'day job' and took a full-time role as an Ella Bache Therapist.The chance to purchase the salon I was working in arose three years later and I jumped at the opportunity. Motivated by pride, ambition, a strong work ethic and passion, I was able to establish a fabulously loyal client base that values our commitment to customer service and a brand that delivers results.All the dedication, commitment and passion have translated into a multi-award winning salon - this recognition is very satisfying.

Man charged overMan charged overSeaford shootingSeaford shootingA 30-YEAR-old man has been charged with attempted murder over the shoot-ing of man and woman in Seaford last weekend.

Michael Robertson, of Seaford, was remanded in custody after appearing before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday where he faced charges of attempted murder, intentionally caus-ing serious injury and recklessly caus-ing serious injury.

He was arrested shortly after the shooting incident in Levuka St about 9pm last Saturday during which a 52-year-old man and 50-year-old woman were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds.

The man suffered serious injuries and taken to The Alfred hospital where he was reported to be in a stable condi-tion, while the woman suffered minor

injuries and was taken by ambulance to Frankston Hospital.

A lawyer representing the accused told the court Robertson’s wife was seven months pregnant and he had never been held in custody before. He did not apply for bail and was re-manded in custody pending a further bail hearing at a later date.

Police said the shooting was not a random incident and that the parties were known to each other.

Police blocked off the street and set up a crime scene following the inci-dent, with offi cers scouring the proper-ties for evidence throughout the night and the following day.

Frankston police said offi cers would attend the street to speak to neighbours and offer support and counselling to anyone affected by the incident.

Crime scene: Police sealed off Levuka St in Seaford last Saturday night (12 July) following a shooting in which a 52-year-old man and 50-year-old woman were injured. The couple was taken by ambulance to hospital with gunshot wounds. Police scoured the crime scene for evidence and conducted interviews with neighbours throughout the night and the following day.

Civil protest: Harcourts real estate agent Michael Spring (third from left) addressed environmental protesters at an auction for a slice of Langwarrin land at McClelland Drive located in Frankston’s Green Wedge. Picture: Gary Sissons

Protest hinders wedge land saleA SLICE of Langwarrin land put up for sale failed to attract any bids at auction last Friday after environmentalists made it clear to prospective buyers it would be diffi cult to build residential homes on the land.

Several environmental groups including the Frankston Environmental Friends Network and the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge attended the midday auction to protest that a sales pitch for the land at 565 McClelland Dve had classed the area as ‘residential’.

Harcourts real estate agent Michael Spring said the protesters had been “very nice and civil” and he had no problem with them making their concerns known at the mortgagee auction.

Mr Spring told The News the land had been labelled as ‘residential’ on the realestate.com.au website in error and he had asked the online real estate sales site to change the listing weeks before the auction took place.

Last Friday’s auction was cancelled due to a lack of bidders.

“It’s a tough block of land to sell and it’ll now be up to the bank [the mortgagee] to decide what to do next,” Mr Spring said.

FEFN chair David Cross said the group would “keep an eye” on the situation. He believed a buyer had expressed an interest in building “a small school” on the southern end of the land away from the environmentally sensitive Pobblebonk Reserve wetland.

Mr Cross said the group would be happy to “work with” the potential buyer if that was the case.

The land is zoned Rural Conservation Zone within Frankston’s green wedge and had been spruiked by Harcourts Langwarrin as “a blank canvas of 3.395 hectares (approx) of predominately cleared land, with loads of potential, situated on two separate titles.”

Frankston Council also highlighted land use restrictions to mortgagee Westpac Banking Corporation in a letter dated 9 July seen by The News.

Hasstta Holdings purchased the property for $550,000 in 2006 before entering administration recently.

Hasstta Holdings was convicted at Frankston Magistrates Court in 2009 for removing native vegetation at the site without a permit.

SEA creatures of all sorts will stage a colourful protest outside Hastings MP Greg Hunt’s offi ce on Friday.

They’ll be demanding protection for the Great Barrier Reef.

In the next two weeks, the environ-ment minister is due to approve or reject mining company Adani's Carmichael mine that requires dredg-ing and dumping in the reef’s World Heritage Area to provide space for coal ships.

It would create the world's biggest coal port on the reef’s long coastline.

Online activist group GetUp, which is organising the demonstration along with Greenpeace, claims the project would be disastrous.

It says residents have an opportu-nity to infl uence his decision.

The group will gather at 1pm in Salmon St to tell Mr Hunt how they feel about protecting the reef – and everyone is invited to join in.

The group says the Mr Hunt chose not to assess the miner’s environ-mental record when he gave his fi rst-round approval, and that it lacks

credibility. “Last time Adani was trusted to build a port, it destroyed the very conservation area it prom-ised to protect. Another investigation found Adani was involved in ‘large scale corruption’ including theft and bribery,” organisers say.

“Adani has shown it shouldn't be trusted, especially not with some-thing as precious as our Great Barrier Reef.

The organisers say the fun, family friendly event will take about an hour. It will involve a get together, photo shoot and a chat about the challenges the reef is facing. “Then, we’ll deliver a message that Mr Hunt won't be able to ignore.”

Mr Hunt yesterday said the Carmi-chael coal mine and rail infrastruc-ture project was being considered in accordance with national environ-ment law.

“The date for a decision has been extended to ensure I can thoroughly consider the large volume of material associated with this project referral.”

A decision is expected by 1 August.

Hastings bound: Colourful protesters will make their point outside Environment Minister Greg Hunt’s Hastings offi ce on Friday.

A MOTHER and daughter are hoping to win neighbouring seats for the La-bor Party at the November state elec-tion.

While Sonia Kilkenny has already been appointed the candidate for Car-rum, her mother Raelene Kilkenny still needs the party’s blessing to contest Frankston.

The 73-year-old nominated for preselection on Thursday but will have to wait until next Thursday (24 July) to fi nd out if she is successful.

Lined up against her for Labor’s en-dorsement is Paul Edbrooke, a fi reman who, at 35, is less than half Ms Kilk-enny’s age.

Ms Kilkenny describes herself as “old and disabled” and believes Frankston should be represented by a woman in state parliament, “someone who knows what’s going on”.

Mr Edbrooke, of Mt Eliza, was last week given a dispensation by Labor’s administrative committee to seek preselection one day after joining the party.

His surprise inclusion in the prese-lection race led to James Dooley de-ciding not to nominate.

Mr Dooley, a Frankston councillor, was disappointed by the dispensation handed to Mr Edbrooke and this week said it could lead to his resignation from the party.

“I didn’t nominate because it would be a waste of time,” Mr Dooley said, adding that the successful candidate would not be chosen by the Frankston ALP branch.

Without going into details, Mr Dooley said he would not “subject my family to the maliciousness I’ve seen”.

“It’s very demoralising – I won’t do it. I’m not quitting the party, but we’ll see what happens.”

The party’s original candidate Helen Constas was forced to withdraw last month after it was revealed a staff member had accused her of bullying when she was chief executive of the Peninsula Legal Centre.

Despite appearing to have the bless-ing of the ALP executive, Mr Ed-brooke does not want to discuss elec-tion issues, telling The News that he would “only confi rm” that he was a candidate.

He said he “approached the ALP” seeking to be a candidate after issues in Frankston “got me thinking”.

Mr Edbrooke joined the ALP on 9 July and was given the nod to seek preselection the following day.

A party offi cial contacted by The News was reluctant to talk about the preselection process, saying he was “not at liberty” to give out the names of preselection candidates.

Raelene Kilkenny is not so shy, and has issued a statement saying she is “sick and tired of the people of Frankston being derided and treated like second class citizens and the area denigrated by all and sundry”.

The 73-year-old mother of Sonia Kilkenny, who is standing for the neighbouring seat of Carrum, said “constructive programs” were needed to fi x Frankston’s problems with drug use and homelessness.

State and federal government money was needed “to help provide more so-

cial housing, better drug management programs and more targeted training programs, especially for the young un-employed,” Raelene Kilkenny said.

“Sure there are some problems – lack of public and supported housing and adequate accommodation and ser-vices for the homeless and it has a drug culture particularly around the station precinct,” she stated.

“But these issues are not going to be ameliorated by closing rooming hous-es and demolishing a building where homeless people are squatting or by building a multi-million dollar roof over Frankston station.

“These are some of the reasons why I am asking the people of Frankton for their support, so I may become the next state member for the seat of Frankston and that with their help we may start to address the real needs of the people of this area.”

Ms Kilkenny is the immediate past secretary of the ALP’s Frankston branch and secretary of the Dunkley Federal Electorate Campaign Committee.

She says she does not belong to any Labor faction or a union.

“The union movement and the Labor Party have been responsible for all the benefi ts and conditions which we now all enjoy.

“It was not the employers and not the conservative ideologues like the current state and federal governments who achieved these things and who are now trying to unravel so many of them.”

IT may be one of the country’s most pop tour-ist destinations, but the Mornington Peninsula doesn’t even rate a mention among the state’s top 12 “experiences and destinations”, according to the latest edition of Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria.

Taking out top spot in the ninth edition of the travel company’s Melbourne and Victoria guide book is the Great Ocean Road, with Melbourne’s laneways, The Grampians, Melbourne’s “cul-tural and sporting hub”, and Wilsons Promontory rounding out the top fi ve.

The closest the peninsula comes to rating a mention among Victoria’s “must visit” locations is the listing of Phillip Island and its penguin pa-rade as the seventh most appealing tourist desti-nation.

Rounding out the top 12 were St Kilda, the High Country, Mildura, Gippsland Lakes, “Coun-try Charm”, and Walhalla.

Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said she was surprised the peninsula didn’t rate a mention in the guide book’s top twelve, es-pecially as the region was usually regarded as one of Melbourne’s tourist destinations.

She said the peninsula was “much-loved by residents and visitors alike, offering a great tour-ism experience, plenty of things to do and see”.

“The Mornington Peninsula has been a major drawcard for local, national and international visitors for decades, and the range of tourism ex-periences, activities and events continue to grow each year – including this year’s Cool Climate Wine Show, Melbourne International Film Fes-tival screening and the Archibald Prize exhibi-tion,” Cr Celi said.

The omission from the latest Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria edition, which was re-leased last week, stands in stark contrast to the state government’s offi cial tourism website, Visit Victoria, which lists the Mornington Peninsula as its number one attraction. It is also surpris-ing given that Tourism Australia’s latest global marketing campaign focuses on the country’s “exceptional food and wine experiences” – areas in which the Mornington Peninsula has gained international renown.

Tourism Australia chief marketing offi cer Nick Baker said food and wine producers were the “stars” of the international Restaurant Australia marketing campaign, which aims to boost visitor numbers by highlighting the country’s “unique and exceptional food and wine experiences” be-ing served-up at “remarkable locations” such as the peninsula. He said extensive research con-ducted by Tourism Australia showed food and wine were the most important factors in holiday decision making.

“The concept of Restaurant Australia has been built based on consumer research which iden-tifi ed food and wine as a key factor in holiday decision making and the most important emotive trigger, ahead of world class beauty, for infl uenc-ing people’s destination choice,” Mr Baker said.

“For people who’ve never visited Australia, awareness of our food and wine offering is low. However, once they visit, people realise the vari-ety and quality of our food and wine experiences is world-class and Australia moves to the top of the rankings as a one of the world’s best culinary destinations.”

International visitors spent more than $4 bil-lion enjoying Australia’s food, wine and culinary experiences in 2013, with the Mornington Penin-sula gaining a healthy slice of the pie.

Peninsula tourism operators have also been fi g-uring prominently on the award front, including the Enchanted Adventure Garden, which was last week named Victorian Regional Business of the Year at the 2014 Telstra Business Awards.

The popular peninsula tourist attraction was the only business from the state’s tourism sector to be nominated for the prestigious awards.

First opened in 1997 as a small maze and gar-den attraction, the Arthur’s Seat business has grown into a thriving tourist drawcard.

The family owned business now offers adven-

ture tube slides, tree surfi ng and live entertain-ment, in addition to the expanded hedge maze and gardens, and provides employed for more than 100 people.

Judges said the Enchanted Adventure Garden-was a “fi nancially secure and soundly managed business that has invested signifi cantly in new at-tractions and created a unique attraction for fam-ily enjoyment, adventure and fun”.

“Its owners [Sally and Michael Savage] were committed to staff training and showed outstand-ing leadership and vision,” judges said in present-ing the award. Also fi guring prominently on the awards front is Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, which recently won Zoo and Aquarium Association accreditation and has gained international applause through the TripAdvisor website.

Having won a swag of business, environmental and tourism awards over recent years, the popu-lar wildlife park was recognised by the ZAA for meeting the highest possible standards in care and animal welfare.

ZAA president Karen Fifi eld said the accredita-tion program was creating a “new standard for animal welfare”.

“Being accredited means our members can be proud of providing our animals with the best pos-sible care,” she said.

Moonlit Sanctuary’s accreditation shows it is ensuring the animals in their care live in a posi-tive welfare state.

“This means the wider community can be cer-tain that ZAA member institutions provide the best level of care for their animals, not just a minimum standard,” Ms Fifi eld said.

The recognition follows the awarding of Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park with a TripAdvisor Certifi cate of Excellence for the consistent praise heaped on it by visitors.

The international website provides feedback from visitors on tourist attractions and destina-tions around the world. Of 83 comments posted on the TripAdvisor site for Moonlit Sanctuary, 69 rated the park “excellent”, 13 “very good”.

Moonlit Sanctuary director Michael Johnson said there was no greater seal of approval than being recognised by customers.

“With the TripAdvisor Certifi cate of Excel-lence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confi dence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence,” Mr Johnson said.

UNIVERSITY researchers have called for a reassessment of the state government’s plans to spend an esti-mated $12 billion developing a con-tainer port at Hastings.

They say a fall-back position is vi-tal in case the Port of Hastings project fails.

The researchers say a “simplistic” view is being taken by governments assuming larger ships will come if a deep water port is offered. However, shipping companies will not send the world’s largest ships because the Aus-tralian market is not large enough.

Smaller ships with quicker turn-around times capable of entering Port Phillip make more economic sense for carrying Victoria’s agricultural and perishable food-related exports.

The government will also have dif-fi culty fulfi lling its obligations by building a port in an internationally recognised wetland area.

The researchers say decisions made on how to cope with predicted levels of imports and exports over the next 40 years will affect everyone in Victo-ria and should not be based solely on pol-itical decisions.

In a research paper titled Build it – but will they come? Hermione Par-sons and Peter Van Duyn say shipping companies are unlikely to send mega-ships to Melbourne, with the economy being better served by similar sized vessels to those already coming and going from Port Phillip.

They estimate 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.

The government has yet to say how much it will cost to upgrade land transport networks.

Dr Parsons said the Build it – but will they come? report was aimed at “lifting discussion [about developing the Port of Hastings] above day-to-day politics”.

Dr Parsons said it was “so important to get [the port decision] right and not get it wrong.”

The state government is spending $110 million through the Hastings Port Development Authority with the aim of having all necessary planning and environmental approvals through by 2017 – with construction to be completed by 2027.

However, the Labor Opposition says building a new container port in Port Phillip may make more economic sense.

Easy access: A regular visitor to the Port of Melbourne, the 52,600 tonne Cap Frio is 256 metres long, had a draught of 11.4 metres and can carry 3470 containers. The ship was built in 2012 and according to university researchers fi ts the bill for what is needed for Victroria’s export and import markets. Picture: Keith Platt

Keith [email protected]

This so-called Bay West option could become a reality if Labor wins the November state election.

The research paper states there is a need for “a continuation of planning for alternatives, should the Port of Hastings development project fail”.

Dr Parsons said the two-year study launched last week at a function ar-ranged by the Committee for Wynd-ham was funded solely by Victoria University.

The launch was attended by 180 people from across the state, including Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustain-able infrastructure director Alex At-kins and strategic planning manager Allan Cowley. There were no repre-sentatives from the City of Frankston.

Dr Parsons said “political interests” had offered fi nancial help with the study but the university decided to pay “because we had to be neutral”.

The study – by the university’s in-stitute for supply chain and logistics department - was released in the same week that the state government reaf-fi rmed its commitment to develop a container port at Hastings and accused the Labor opposition of being out of step with its Hastings candidate.

While Labor is pushing for a new container on the western side of Port Phillip near Geelong or Werribee, its Hastings candidate Steve Hosking said last week that he remained committed to Hastings if it meant jobs for at least 500 people.

Dr Parsons said she would like to present her fi ndings to a meeting in Western Port.

“We’re not supporting one location or another and we don’t think [La-bor’s] Bay West is the best alterna-tive,” she said.

Dr Parsons said the capacity of the Port of Melbourne should be reas-

sessed and a “pre-mortem technique” applied to the Hastings proposal.

The research paper describes the pre-mortem technique as “imagining that the project has failed … It is a sim-ple technique that can indicate poten-tial problems and prospects, as well as expose any weaknesses in the project”.

The paper goes on the say that mega ships will be used only to service Eu-rope, China, India, the Middle east and the Americas and gives the example of the port of Rotterdam, which services 350 million people “compared with Australia’s total market population of 23 million people and Victoria’s cur-rent population of 6 million that is an-ticipated to grow to 10 million people by 2050”.

“The stark differences in market sizes emphasise that in order to main-tain a container shipping service that satisfi es Australia’s need for reliable, regular (weekly) movement of imports and exports … the smaller container vessels are likely to be more suitable than the larger mega ships.

“The Port of Hastings development project is designed to cater for nine million containers (TEU) per annum by 2050.

“While freight logistics and trans-port service providers may relocate they must pass on to customers the higher operating costs resulting from moving approximately an extra 100 kilometres away from the current in-dustrial ‘heartland’ in the west of the metropolitan region, with the same long distances on the return trip.”

When the Port of Hastings reaches its capacity of nine million containers (TEU) as planned in 2050, the land-side task could potentially involve the movement of 4.5 million contain-ers annually to and from Melbourne’s main western industrial district. This

would require: 1.5 million B-double trucks, or 50,000 freight trains carrying 90 con-tainers a train, annually; More than 4000 trucks or 140 trains moving across Melbourne’s road and rail network between Melbourne’s in-dustrial west and north, and Hastings, daily.

“Constructing a nine million TEU container terminal in the Ramsar convention-protected area will re-quire intensive and guaranteed mitiga-tion measures, to ensure the wetlands continue to be fully protected. The government’s response will have to withstand very determined local, na-tional and international scrutiny and demonstrate the safety of the wetlands against any foreseeable damage from the construction, dredging, mainte-

nance and maritime operations of the Port of Hastings,” the report states.

Economic and social issues will likely opposition to: Australia’s potential failure to ful-fi l its international obligations and responsibilities as a signatory to an environmental protection convention; The potential destruction of Western Port coastal scenery affecting land-holders and residential and holiday home owners between Cape Schanck and Stony Point, on the Mornington Peninsula; on French Island; and be-tween Ventnor and Cowes on Phillip Island; The impacts on the region’s tourist industry, including the internationally signifi cant fairy penguin parade and seals at The Nobbies on Phillip Island, of the port and its maritime operations; Concerns throughout Melbourne over the potential loss of properties and amenity resulting from the con-struction and operation of road works, and the south east rail link, for trains to cross the Yarra River and travel via Richmond, Flinders St and South-ern Cross stations to the Tottenham freight rail yards, which may require excavation work in affl uent Malvern, Armadale, Toorak, Hawksburn and South Yarra.

“These politically sensitive social and environmental issues could lead the government of the day to re-evalu-ate the political costs of the proposed port and associated infrastructure, and decide instead to concentrate on metropolitan and regional commuter transport priorities and other more pressing constituency issues.”

AS well as the disturbing scenes of war and violence we often see from afar, are the consequences which last for years and generations: trauma, loss of social “glue”, a lesser capacity to build a better life.

Timor Leste (East Timor) has become familiar to thousands of Australians who have put their skills and energies to help, and redress past injustices experienced by a poor and vulnerable nation distorted by violent colonialisms, most recently Indone-sian, from 1975 to 1999.

The Timorese people were ignored by other nations, including Australia, which collaborated or looked the other way.

Last year’s Timor visit by 14 local Friends of Lospalos (supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire) was a highpoint in this eight-year rela-tionship, which has fi nanced many education and other projects. But the Timorese also said “It’s not just the money, you are our family.”

The new feature fi lm, Beatriz’s War, illustrates some of the post-colonial issues which affl ict re-construction.

After a massacre by Indonesian soldiers, Beatriz’s husband, Tomas, disappears, hopefully to join the Falintil resistance.

As happened all over Timor, when the men were killed or fl ed to the hills to fi ght, women grew as leaders and made hard choices, including in their role as “clandestinos”. Following independ-ence, Tomas returns and is a different man; Beatriz has changed also.

Exploring their new relationship, she asks herself uncomfortable ques-tions about him and what happened during his 16-year absence. She has seen and done enough to be strong and determined enough to resolve her doubts.

Melbourne producer/directors Luigi Acquisto and Stella Zammataro have made a number of documentaries about Timor Leste since 2001, and teamed up with Timorese fi lmmak-ers Bety Reis and Lurdes Pires for Beatriz’s War.

The cast includes Jose da Costa (Answered by Fire, Balibo) and the screenplay was written by Irim Tolen-tino (Beatriz) who also plays the lead of Rosa in a Timor TV series.

The real-life experiences of the Indonesian occupation have informed the acting of many of the cast, and bring out some compelling and an-guished performances.

One location, Kraras, was the site of the 1983 massacre portrayed in the fi lm and some of the fi lm extras were there at the time.

The fi lm took more than a year to make and received early support from

Film shows lives changed by terror in TimorFilm shows lives changed by terror in Timor

SBS Television, the Timorese army and companies such as Toll Logistics, Airnorth and Rentlo.

The Friends of Los Palos, Amnesty International, and Mornington Penin-sula Human Rights Group are screen-ing Beatriz’s War as a fundraiser at Mornington Cinema on Tuesday 5 August. A short report about Lospa-los at 7pm will be followed by the fi lm at 7.30.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Survey being performed into establishing a port at HastingsSurvey being performed into establishing a port at HastingsCompiled by Cameron McCulloughTHE usual monthly sale at Tanti will be held on Monday, August 3rd, when Messrs Alex Scott and Co. will offer cattle, sheep, lambs etc.

***WE regret to announce the serious in-disposition of Mr W. Schultz, of the Pier Hotel, Frankston. Mr Schultz is at present an inmate of Dr. Stirling’s hos-pital, where he will undergo an opera-tion. We wish him a speedy recovery.

***A NUMBER of Australian sympathis-ers with the poor of London forward-ed a consignment of 270 carcasses of Australian mutton for distribution. This mutton has been distributed in the poorest districts of London.

***MUCH satisfaction is felt in Flinders and surrounding districts at the recom-mendation of the Railway Department to extend the Stony Point line to Red Hill.

This extension will serve a good producing district and bring direct railway communication to within six miles of Flinders.

***THE residents of Westernport have for some years been advocating that use should be made of the fi ne depths and anchorages of that natural harbour.

They want pier facilities for deep-sea vessels and railway communica-tion with arteries of traffi c. While the Government takes the view that the deepening of Port Phillip will provide ample accommodation for the oversea trade of the eastern part of the State, it has gone as far as to undertake a

comprehensive survey of Western-port, with a view to the subsequent establishment of the other facilities required.

This survey is now being made by the Ports and Harbours branch, and will, it is anticipated, be completed before the end of the year.

***ABOUT a fortnight ago the construc-tion of a siding at Chelsea, on which about 30 men had been engaged, was suddenly stopped.

At the local progress association meeting on Saturday night anxiety was expressed as to whether it is to be completed.

The chairman (Mr James) stated that with Mr Keast, M.L.A., he had an interview with the Railway Commis-sioners on the matter.

They were given to understand that the stoppage had taken place ow-ing to some departmental reason, but that construction would be resumed shortly.

Meanwhile it had been found neces-sary, in order to give a proper width of the siding, to encroach somewhat on the eastern road.

As those who had brought front-ages to that road had been guaranteed frontage to a 66 feet thoroughfare the Commissioners would buy from them a depth corresponding to what was taken from the road, thus maintaining its width.

Fortunately little or no building had been done at that point. He under-stood notices to treat had been already served.

***FURTHER complaints were made at

the meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association on Saturday night as to ir-regular running of trains to Melbourne on the Frankston line.

Owing to the late arrival in town of the 6.43am train it was said work men and others who used it found they fre-quently missed other trains which had to be caught in Melbourne, and in or-der not to be late for their engagements had to get to work by other means of transit from the city. The 6.9am, on the other hand, whatever its time of arrival in town, often left Chelsea as much as two minutes before scheduled time, with the result that passengers either missed it or sprang hurriedly into the wrong class, at the risk of being caught by the fl ying gang.

The trains arriving at Chelsea, it was said, very often over-ran the station, and as people had to cross the lines to get to the platforms at each end, this way was very dangerous.

The meeting resolved to press the Railway Commissioners to have the train services adjusted in the particu-lars mentioned, and also to realise the necessity of making a subway at the station.

***A DEMONSTRATION of land clear-ing and subsoiling by explosives will be given on the property of Mr T. Gib-son, Hodgins Road, Hastings, by Mr H. E. Henshaw, representing Nobel’s Explosives Co, Ltd., on Tuesday, 28th July.

***THE work of straightening the street in front of the Mechanics’ Hall at Frankston has been put in hand, and the trees are being cut down prepara-

tory to the road being made. It is expected that the alterations

and additions to the hall will be com-menced shortly.

***ON Thursday evening, 16th inst., at the Clyde Hall, Mr and Mrs C. Croskell and Mr A. Croskell were the recipients of presentations from members of the tennis and football clubs and residents of the district, on the eve of their de-parture. The presentations consisted of a case of cutlery to Mr and Mrs C. Croskell and a travelling bag, suitably inscribed, to Mr A. Croskell.

***THE death occurred, suddenly at Mornington, on Thursday morning, of Sister Thompson. She was well known and highly respected in Mornington, and her sudden demise has caused great a sorrow in all directions.

***AT the Frankston Court of Petty Ses-sions, on Monday last, before Messrs Sherlock, Clements, and Williams, J.’s P, a case was dealt with in which John Rule claimed that goods seized from Mrs Spears in execution of a distress warrant were his, and should not have been taken. After the hearing of the evidence, the Bench held that Rule’s claim to the goods was proved, and gave a verdict accordingly. Mr Law-rence Rostron appeared for Rule, and Mr Utber for the execution creditor.

***OWING to his departure to Tynong, Cr J. D. Hodgins has been compelled to resign his position as president of the Frankston and Hastings shire.

During his term as president, Cr Hodgins has fi lled the position ably,

and as a councillor he has always looked after the interests of his riding. The departure of Cr Hodgins and fam-ily from the district will leave a gap that will be hard to fi ll.

Already Mr Daniel Hoban and Mr J. Watt have been mentioned as likely candidates to fi ll the vacancy caused by Cr Hodgins’ retirement.

***IT is with the deepest regret that I have to record the death of one of our es-teemed Somerville townsmen in the person of Mr A. Edward Gault, at the age of 50 years.

Death occurred at Adelaide, South Australia, where the late Mr Gault had gone to receive special care and atten-tion in his last days, under the care of Dr Gault.

Though he well knew that his days were numbered, the deceased gen-tleman was of a uniformly kind and genial disposition, and he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact.

Having resided at Somerville for the last 20 years, where he was successful as an orchardist, his removal by that grim reaper, Death, will leave a gap that will take many years to fi ll.

He was especially prominent in church life, and was a steward of the Methodist circuit for many years, and a great deal of his time was given for that cause.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved widow and relatives, who are left to mourn their said be-reavement.From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 July 1914.

A beginner’s guide to the Australian SenateFOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughRule 1: Get used to red. Outside of hell, nowhere has as much red as the Senate chamber. It looks like the work of the world’s laziest interior decorator. If it proves anything, it’s that sending the apprentice down to the shops to pick out a left-handed hammer can seriously backfi re. The carpet is red. The walls are red. Even the desks are pretty much red. But here’s a tip – if you’re a little on the shy side and don’t want your ugly mug to appear on the news, wear red. It’ll be like you’re not even there. Granted, you’ll need to wear a red veil too, lest you should simply ap-pear on screen as a discombobulated, fl oating cranium.

Rule 2: The person sitting in the big chair should always be addressed as ‘President’. To put this into a party-specifi c perspective, no matter how great the temptation do not refer to him or her as ‘Comrade’ (ALP), ‘Your Majesty’ (Liberal), ‘Maaate’ (Nationals), ‘Imperialist Warmonger-ing Swine’ (the Greens), ‘Gary’ (the Palmer United Party) and especially not, under any circumstances, as ‘Dude’ (Motoring Enthusiasts Party). It should always be as ‘President’. Not even ‘El Presidente’ is good enough. It may seem unnatural at fi rst but, within the fi rst three years of your six-year term, it’ll slip off the tongue with ease.

Rule 3: The front of the building is strictly a loading and unloading zone. Don’t even bother trying to park there. Seriously. It may look

like there’s plenty of room, but don’t be fooled. For some of you, this might be your fi rst company car and you might be desperate for others to notice that you have one, but the big space out the front is solely for drop-ping off and picking up. If you do decide to throw caution to the wind and take the spot right at the door, not only are you inviting trouble from the most ferocious set of wheel clamps this side of Lake Burley-Griffi n, your car may be detonated in a controlled

explosion for security reasons and to teach you a lesson.

Rule 4: ‘House of Cards’ is not an instructional video. If you’re new to politics, don’t believe everything you’ve seen on TV. That includes broadcasts of ICAC proceedings. Politicians are not scheming, con-niving manipulators and, no matter what Kevin Spacey may have led you to believe, are not motivated purely by self interest. It’s not about betrayal and bloodshed. By all means,

enjoy House of Cards as a piece of light-hearted entertainment but there are plenty of real instructional videos that senators can borrow from the Parliamentary library if they wish. If you do feel the need for some tutoring on how to go about your duties, we’ve received favourable reports from members concerning Game of Thrones. You’ll fi nd it in the ‘self-help’ section. If you prefer to do things the old fashioned way, Machiavelli’s The Prince is also quite popular and is located on the ‘DIY’ shelf. With a little study and appli-cation, you’ll be working the room like the professional you, technically speaking, now are.

Rule 5: Get used to spending lots of time with people you’ve just insulted. Politics is a funny thing. One moment you’re sticking the boots into your political opponent as if he was a human Sherrin and you were trying to slot one through the goal posts from fi fty metres out; next, you’re sitting next to each other in a plane or stuck on the same committee for six months. If you refer to another member of the Senate or, indeed, the Parliament, as a demented psychopath whose polices make the regime in North Korea look a little on the timid side, that’s the person you’re going to get stuck in the elevator with. When trapped in such an awkward moment, simply hold your mobile phone to you ear and have a pretend conversa-tion. We all do it.

Rule 6: Get used to being away from home. You may be representing

Victoria or Queensland or even one of the Territories, but prepare yourself to spend a lot less time there and whole lot more time here where the mornings are cold, people get excited about hamburgers available from a caravan and the local newspaper features a story about bizarre public servant workers’ compensation claims pretty much every day.

Rule 7: Most rumours are exactly that, rumours. Despite what you may have heard, at 8pm on Wednesdays we do not dim the lights and pump up the tunes with the wheels of steel to turn the Chamber into a giant disco. That’s strictly Tuesdays only. Wednesdays are pot luck. Make sure you pack a casserole dish and bear in mind that the dietary restrictions of the various senators are published on the intranet. If any of you are wheat intolerant, celiac or, God forbid, vegetarian, speak now or forever hold your peace because on Fridays we do Charcoal Chicken for lunch. As for other things you may have heard, there is not a bomb shelter under Old Parliament House. The bomb shelter is under the front lawn. Should the unthinkable happen and the need arise, the code word for entry is ‘bacon’.

Rule 8: Quota / schmota. t doesn’t matter if you romped it in or have arrived with a half percent mandate courtesy of a preference deal that makes quantum physics look like a game for simpletons, you’ve got a job to do. Best of [email protected]

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntPINES season is over after it was overrun by Mt Eliza in Peninsula League football on Saturday.

Although the Pythons percentage was not at a competitive level in comparison to the teams above it on the ladder, enough wins would have given them every opportunity to make the fi nal fi ve.

However, the loss means that Pines is no longer a chance to play fi nals in 2014.

They did go down with a mighty fi ght though.

The more naturally gifted Redlegs went into the match as favourites but were forced to work for the four points.

The home side led by nine points at the fi nal change but with the aid of the wind the Redlegs were able to kick four goals to a single behind in the last quarter to win 12.5 (77) to 9.8 (62).

Darren Booth and Sam Gill were outstanding for the Redlegs while John Meesen was a key contributor in the ruck.

Guy Hendry booted four goals for the Pythons while 18-year-old Pat Jackson played his best senior game. Pat follows in the footsteps of his brilliant father and uncle, Stella and Robbie Jackson, in the Python pit. Chris Guganovic was also dominant through the middle of the ground for the Pythons.

Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico declared the second half against Chelsea on Saturday was the best brand of footy his side has played all season.

With a side that is now almost at full strength, Artico said his team’s style in the second half highlighted that his charges were starting to “get the message”.

“There is a lot of talent in this team but if they are not playing the style of footy that we want, talent isn’t going to get us the four points,” Artico said.

“I thought we were OK in the fi rst half, but once again inaccuracy in front of goal cost us a decent lead.

“It was good to hit the scoreboard in the second half and record a really solid win.”

The Kangaroos won the game 17.15 (117) to 7.5 (47).

Sean Herdman, Matt Dimkos and

Beau Muston all booted four goals each for the Kangas while Ash Fenech was brought back into the side for his defensive pressure and was rewarded with two goals.

Matt Baxter booted three goals for the Gulls and was one of his team’s best, while Jason Clark was also a fi ne contributor.

Frankston YCW fl exed its muscles and proved that it is the side to beat for the 2014 premiership after knocking over Bonbeach by nearly six goals.

David Bodley put on a footy clinic for the Stonecats, booting seven goals in a best on ground display.

It was a massive day for the club with Ben Tellis playing his 250th game, Tony Lester his 200th and Anthony Barry his 150th.

The three genuine stars of the competition celebrated in style.

The Stonecats not only hit the scoreboard but they also restricted the opposition to just three goals in the fi rst half of the match. That’s where the game was won.

Byron Barry and Kyle Hutchison dominated in the 14.9 (93) to 9.4 (58) victory.

Dylan Jones was superb in the ruck for the Sharks while Mark Tyrrell and Paul Rebeschini were also tireless in their efforts.

Mornington was forced to work hard to get the four points against Seaford.

The Doggies trailed at half time and held just a three point lead at the fi nal change.

However, the likes of Barry Smeeton and Emilio Bitters stepped up to the plate when the game needed to be won in the fi nal term and with Adrian Speedy booting three goals, the Dogs went on to record a 14.11 (95) to 10.17 (77) victory.

The Tigers booted 4.7 in the second half, which really did have an impact on the fi nal result. Josh Stokes was the best of the Tigers.

Edithvale Aspendale gave Karingal a hiding, winning 23.22 (160) to 4.4 (28).

Brad Tagg booted six goals and Matt Kremmer four for the Eagles while Craig Wray and Zac Muschialli dominated.

Hadley Tomamichael, Tom Wilkinson and Michael Burke were the best of the Bulls.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntWHAT a sensational round of football in Nepean League on Saturday.

At the end of it, Crib Point was sitting pretty on top of the ladder, a game clear of Dromana, Sorrento and Red Hill.

Rosebud kept its season alive with a good victory over Hastings, while Sorrento moved into the top three for the fi rst time this season with a win against Red Hill.

Dromana lost its second game on the trot on Saturday, beaten by Rye, who are now starting to fi nd a bit of form.

With fi fth spot still wide open, the sides fi ghting for it really needed to grab hold of the opportunity.

Rye certainly did that, as did Rosebud, while Hastings failed to grab its opportunity.

Many believe in the competition that Rye is one of the best three sides in the league, on paper that is…

On Saturday, it matched its potential with its performance on the fi eld where it matters, especially after quarter time.

The Tigers jumped out of the blocks and within a blink of an eye, the quarter time siren had sounded and Rye found themselves 33 points down at the change.

Rye worked back into the game in the second quarter with an eight goal to two burst to grab a 3-point lead at the halfway mark of the match. The third quarter was pretty even and the game was anyone’s at the fi nal change.

The Demons got out to a 19-point lead in the last quarter before the Tigers came back to get within seven points.

The Demons steadied and pushed the margin back out to 13 before Dromana surged again.

With just two minutes left on the clock, the Tigers had reduced the margin back to a goal.

That was the fi nal margin, Rye winning 16.8 (104) to 15.8 (98).

Andrew Dean was superb for the Demons, booting six goals, while Ben Holmes dominated across half forward with four majors.

The performance of these two

Nepean hots right up, Rye play to potentialNepean hots right up, Rye play to potential

proved that they both need to play forward.

Aaron Findlay shared the ruck duties with Rhett Sutton and Chris Gleeson played higher up the fi eld, rather than being a stay at home full forward.

Ryan Semmel was dominant once again for the Demons while Jai Lloyd was simply superb, shutting down the dangerous Anthony Bruhn.

The Tigers went into the game without Steven Gaertner and Ash Waterstone. They were far from full strength.

However, word is Gaertner’s performances generally have been well below par and he has a lot of improving to do.

Jay Neratzoglou was able to play a different kind of role and that netted a couple of goals for him, while Christian Ongarello was also very good over four quarters.

The Rye win really does show that the premiership race is wide open in Nepean League.

Sorrento celebrated its 1964 and

2004 Premiership Reunions with a hard fought victory over Red Hill.

Star forward Leigh Poholke has taken his game to a new level this season and his seven goals on Saturday was the difference between his side winning and losing.

Poholke’s seven goals did come at a cost. He was reported in the second quarter by the goal umpire.

He spent 15 minutes on the sidelines but Red Hill couldn’t capitalise.

They missed easy opportunities in front of goal and then gave away two 50 metre penalties that resulted in Sorrento goals, their only two majors of the quarter.

Instead of going into the half time break in front, the Hillmen were seven points down.

The fi nal margin was just 10 points, the Sharks winning 12.14 (86) to 11.10 (76).

Michael Dillion, Jimmy McCall and Jarryd Douglas with four goals were the best of the Hillmen, while Poholke was the stand out player for the Sharks.

Ryan Jeffrey also worked hard for the winners, as did Matt Dobrowalski, Johnny Casper and Daniel Grant.

Rosebud is still in fi nals contention after hanging on to beat Hastings by 10 points.

The Buds booted only 20 points last week against Rye but accuracy in front of goal this week ensured victory. The Buds won the match 12.6 (78) to 9.14 (68).

Rosebud set up the win with a seven goal to two second quarter, giving them a 19-point buffer at the major interval.

Once again, Hastings let themselves down with one poor quarter of footy.

It was an arm wrestle after half time and Hastings had plenty of chances but they just couldn’t get the job done.

Keegan Downie was a welcome addition for the Buds with four goals, while Tom Baker was also superb with four majors. Ben Dwyer also dominated, along with Chris Dew and Brenton Payne.

Steven Robb was once again

Hastings’ best, along with Kain and Taylor Stratton, who have been outstanding this season for the Blues.

At three quarter time in the match between Somerville and Crib Point, it looked like the Eagles were going to cause the boilover of the season. They led by 28 points at the main change.

However, 30 minutes later, the Magpies had booted seven goals to two to snatch victory by a goal.

It was the third time this season that the Pies had won by a goal or less.

Jon Flack with six goals was the difference between the sides. He was superb.

Paul Smith and Luke Herrington each booted two goals for the Pies and their contribution to the win was signifi cant.

David Hirst booted four for the Eagles and Adrian Ridout was back and he booted three majors. Cal Dixon, Jedd Sutton and Leigh Stewart were the best performers for the Eagles.

16-year-old James Doria made his senior debut for Devon Meadows against Tyabb on Saturday and booted a goal with his fi rst kick. James also went on to boot a further two majors for the match.

It was the fi rst time that the three Doria brothers, James, Alex and Chris (pictured) had played footy together. You get the feeling it won’t be the last!

The Panthers were far too strong for the Yabbies, as expected, winning 20.18 (138) to 6.6 (42).

James Bow booted eight for the winners while big name players Stef Baumgartner, Billy Hayes, Cal O’Hare and Brian Wapshott were at their best.

Jake Anderson was once again Tyabb’s best, also booting two goals.

Frankston Bombers enjoyed another victory, this time getting the job done over Pearcedale, 15.12 (122) to 5.7 (37).

Duncan Proud was superb and arguably the best man on the ground for the Bombers with three goals while James Degenhardt was also dominant. Corey Macari also played his best game of senior football.

Chris Fortnam booted four goals for the Dales and was comfortably his team’s best player.

Brothers in arms: The Doria brothers James, Alex and Chris all played for Devon Meadows for the fi rst time in the same side on Saturday. The Panthers thrashed Tyabb 138-42 to give the trio a big win to celebrate.
