NO one could blame the Rev Jennifer Furphy for feeling like she has been here before.But rather than the feeling having any religious connotations, Ms Murphy is back, after 10 years, again fi ghting the same “unjust” asylum seeker policies of the federal government which has led to more than 1000 children being held in detention centres both here and offshore.The weekly ringing of church bells are the call to arms being used by the vicar of St Marks at Balnarring and St Johns, Flinders.There are moves within the wider church community to extend bell ringing throughout the state and beyond “until the children are released”.Photo: Yanni

See ‘Bells ring for children’s sake’, Page 7

By Chris BrennanA MAN with multiple outstanding war-rants for unpaid fi nes totalling more than $100,000 was among 38 drivers nabbed during a combined police and sheriff’s operation in Tyabb last week.

Sheriff’s offi cers using automatic number plate recognition technol-ogy detected 23 drivers with nearly $260,000 owing in outstanding war-rants, while police charged a further 15

people with a range of offences includ-ing disqualifi ed driving during the op-eration on Frankston-Flinders Rd last Friday morning.

The big catch of the day was the driver of a ute found to be owing more than $100,000 in unpaid fi nes who had his vehicle clamped.

He now has seven days to address the outstanding warrants or faces a hearing at Frankston Magistrates Court.

Sheriff’s offi cers said more than

$11,500 was paid by drivers to have their matters resolved on the day, while two other drivers had their vehicles clamped.

Hastings highway patrol offi cers detected seven unregistered vehicles during the combined operation, as well as one person found to driving while suspended and one unlicensed driver.

A further fi ve cars were found to be defective, two of which were deemed unsafe and immediately taken off the road. A P-plate driver was also fi ned

for not displaying plates.Sergeant David Collins said the one

positive from the operation was the fact that none of the 203 drivers breath tested during the operation was found to be over the limit.

That was far from the case early Saturday morning when police caught eight drivers over the legal alcohol limit during an operation in Rosebud.

Police said they were “astounded” after picking up fi ve drink drivers in

just three and a half hours in the early hours of Saturday morning during ran-dom patrols of back streets.

Two of the drivers were found to be more than three times the legal limit, including a 65-year-old Coronet Bay man intercepted on Point Nepean Rd at 1am who returned a reading of 0.159, and a 43-year-old Rosebud man caught on Bayview Rwd at 1.34am who re-turned a reading of 0.185.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council is developing and refi ning a huge new central data system that has been dubbed The Single Source of Truth.

On it will be stored information on more than 200,000 shire assets – build-ings, roads and properties among them.

The GeoMedia Smart Client system enables shire staff, councillors and con-tractors, in their offi ces or in the fi eld, to update progress on tasks as varied as weeding shire land and repairing pavil-ion roofs, from portable computers.

The information is then immediately available to all who have viewing or data entry rights. Details of the system were provided to councillors by David “Davey” Smith, acting team leader, traffi c and road management at the 28 April community council meeting, held at Safety Beach Yacht Club,.

The Truth system will eliminate manual and double handling and thus bring cost-saving effi ciencies, Mr Smith told the meeting. It will enable regular checks on work progress, to ensure contractors are meeting con-tract requirements.

A signifi cant cost benefi t is that the system moves the shire away from Ap-ple Mac products, which will be anoth-er cost saving. A Mac app could have been developed to do the tasks that will be undertaken by the Truth system but would have cost about twice as much as the system chosen, councillors heard.

Senior shire managers and contractors have embraced the proposal, providing “outstanding” support for it, Mr Smith

said. Service providers also co-operated in helping develop “a brand new prod-uct” rather than falling back on an out-of-the-box solution that would have fallen short of shire requirements.

“This is cutting edge software that has not been used for this type of work across the world – we are the very fi rst,” the meeting was told.

The project took longer than expect-ed because of the fact that it involved “immature” software, requiring “bug” fi xes as work proceeded.

Future opportunities for system use included bushfi re management, such as maintenance of fi re breaks. Comple-tion of such work would be graphically represented by a colour change on a map from, say, red to green.

Another area to be included in the Truth system could be cultural herit-age management plans, when a devel-opment was planned for a greenfi elds site that needed to be inspected for ar-tefacts and the like. Dig points on the site could be recorded, along with any artefacts found.

Over time this information would give an oversight as to where across the Mornington Peninsula these cul-tural sites exist.

Councillors were invited to ask ques-tions about the system. Cr Graham Pit-tock said he was nervous about the name, which seemed to come from another language. “Single Source of Truth could be offensive to a lot of people – it sounds very Orwellian,” he said. “Couldn’t you call it something a little bit user-friendly, in English?”

MORE than one thousand people are set to paint the peninsula pink this weekend as they take part in the country’s largest annual breast cancer research fundraising event, the Mother’s Day Classic.

Participants in events at Somers/Balnarring and Dromana will join more about 140,000 entrants from around Australia in this year’s Moth-er’s Day Classic on Sunday, which is being held at a record 97 locations, including all capital cities and a host of regional centres.

The event is aimed at raising aware-ness and honouring those impacted by breast cancer, as well as funding vital research into treatment, detection and prevention.

The Western Port event starts at Coolart Homestead, off Lord Somers Rd, and involves a 4 kilometre walk or run around the wetlands. The run kicks off at 8am, with an opening ceremony and dedication at 9.30am, followed by the start of the walk at 10am.

Those planning to take part are reminded that online registrations need to be lodged by Wednesday 7 May, however registrations can also be arranged on the day of the event from 7.30am.

Local organising committee member Dianna McKellar said last year’s event, which featured a walk and ceremony, was the fi rst to be held at the Coolart Historical Homestead and Wetlands, with 500 participants raising $7000.

Mum’s the wordMum’s the wordin race to beat in race to beat breast cancerbreast cancer

“This year we are wanting to ex-pand our event by adding a 4km run and increase our numbers, especially now local people know they don’t have to travel to the city to participate in the day,” she said.

“The event provides an important community focus for those touched by breast cancer – many participants walk in support or memory of a loved one touched by breast cancer.

National organisers said they were delighted at the level of the support regional areas such as the Mornington Peninsula had provided in the fi ght against a disease that impacts one in eight women.

Mother’s Day Classic national chairwoman Louise Davidson said the support for this year’s event had been overwhelming, not only from a fund-

raising perspective but also in showing rural and regional women with breast cancer that they were not alone.

“As well as funding research, tak-ing part in Mother’s Day Classic is a wonderful way to show support and solidarity to those in the community dealing with breast cancer, so it’s im-portant for us to be able to offer events outside of the capital cities,” she said.

Ms Davidson said this year marked a major milestone, with the event, which began in 1998, set to pass the $20 million mark in funds raised for the National Breast Cancer Founda-tion’s research program.

OBITUARYHarry Firth 1918-2014Motor racing champion

By FRAN HENKEAUSTRALIAN motor racing legend Harry Firth died on April 27, just days after turning 96. He died in a Melbourne hospital following a battle with cancer.

Mr Firth, a leading race and rally driver during the 1950s and 1960s, went on to be an infl uential team manager into the 1970s. He was a rare individual who could combine techni-cal skill and organisational skill with race-day wisdom.

In his retirement he bought two holiday homes at Hastings. The fi rst was a fi sherman’s cottage that he restored and the second demonstrated his real love of modest weatherboard houses.

He donated one house to Hastings-Western Port Historical Society and it was moved onto the block in Herring St. It is now home to the society’s records, photos and maps and named Harry’s House in his honour.

Harry Firth was born in Orbost, Vic-toria, in 1918, and began his working life in a country garage. During World War 2 he spent time in the Middle East then began working around cars and motorbikes.

As a race and rally driver he won the Bathurst 500 four times, the Southern Cross Rally and the Austral-ian Rally Championship. But he was also an ingenious and highly talented engineer and team manager. His mark on Australian racing history came

Harry ‘the Fox’ crosses his finish lineHarry ‘the Fox’ crosses his finish line

through his achievements as team manager at the Ford Works Team and the Holden Dealer Team.

Firth co-designed and race-devel-oped the Cortina GT 500, the GT Falcon, the Torana XU1, L34 and A9X, was responsible for launching and mentoring drivers Colin Bond and

Peter Brock (nine times winner of the Bathurst 1000), and leading teams to victory at fi ve Bathursts, fi ve Australi-an Manufacturers’ Championships and four Australian Rally Championships – an immeasurable contribution to the history of the Australian “muscle car” and Australian motor sport.

Firth established the fi rst factory-backed squads that have remained the basic model for leading touring car teams in Australia. As well as a visionary team boss, he was a cham-pion race and rally driver whose skill behind the wheel matched his prowess in the pit lane.

Firth’s nickname was “the fox”, for his use of cunning ploys as a team manager. He was also described as a “bush engineer”, for his ability to build a race winning engine from lit-tle more than a roll of wire. Leading Australian Motoring journalist and former racer Bill Tuckey once wrote affectionately of Firth that as a driver, engineer and team manager, he was “as cunning as an outhouse rat”.

Harry Firth’s attachment to the industry continued with his notable collection of racing memorabilia, ini-tially seeking privacy of his address to protect it. He then became a regular at race tracks selling memorabilia. A website in his name sells memorabilia with its manager explaining Harry didn’t have a computer but others were looking after sales for him.

Over three decades his contribu-tion on and off the track earned many awards and decorations. A defi ning acknowledgement was his induction into the V8 Supercars Hall of Fame in 2007, in recognition of the profound role that he played in shaping modern touring car racing in Australia.

Another Bathurst champion John Bowe, said that “both Ford and Holden benefi ted immensely from his incredible technical wizardry and planning as did drivers over the decades in the 1950, to the 1970s. I enjoyed immensely the times with I spent with Harry more recently”.

“His stories were always straight forward, often hilarious and he was a genuine character. They don’t make blokes like Harry Firth any more. My condolences to his family – RIP champion.”

Unlikely passenger: Harry Firth was more used to being behind the wheel in a motor racing career that spanned more than three decades, propelling him into the history books of Australian motor sport.

By Chris BrennanTHE condition of a fi ve-year-old girl critically in-jured in a fatal ultralight plane crash in Tyabb last weekend has improved.

Emily Doutch sustained life-threatening inju-ries when the aircraft fl own by her father, senior Frankston SES member Peter Doutch, crashed into a house in in Seaview Rd about 5.20pm last Sunday.

Mr Doutch died at the crash scene while Emily was rescued from the wreckage and fl own by helicopter to the Royal Children’s Hospital in a critical condition with multiple injuries.

Frankston SES controller Brain McMannus said on Monday Emily was now showing encour-aging signs but still faced a long road to recovery.

“She’s improving, so there is light at the end of the tunnel, but there’s a long way to travel yet,” Mr McMannus told The News.

He said he had been in contact with Emily’s mother, who remained by her bedside.

“She was in an induced coma, but I understand that she did open her eyes a couple of days ago, so that’s fantastic news. She’s had scans of her ma-jor organs, and that was all okay, and brain scans, which were also all okay.

“But she has a lot of broken bones that will take a long time to heal so it’s going to be a long battle.”

Hospital offi cials confi rmed Emily’s condition had improved and she is now listed as “stable”.

Emily is a prep pupil at John Paul College, Frankston, where her older brother also attends.

Funeral arrangements for Mr Doutch have yet to be fi nalised but Mr McMannus said a fi tting send-off would be arranged at an appropriate time for the dedicated SES volunteer in consul-tation with his family.

A post mortem examination was scheduled

Outlook improves for Outlook improves for young air crash survivoryoung air crash survivor

to be conducted to determine if Mr Doutch, 44, had suffered any health complications in the mo-ments before the crash. The fi ndings will be in-cluded in a coroner’s report.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is also in-vestigating the fatal crash.

Witnesses said the Airborne XT-912 Tourer fl own by Mr Doutch appeared to experience engine prob-lems before crashing about two minutes away from the Peninsula Aero Club airstrip at Tyabb.

McMannus said Mr Doutch, who lived in Frankston with his wife and family, had served with the unit for 24 years.

As a section leader and one of the Frankston unit’s most senior members, Mr Doutch had trained many of the current volunteer members.

“It’s hit us all very hard; we’ve lost a highly experienced member and a very good person,” Mr McMannus said following the crash.

“We’re like a big family and when you lose someone, it’s like losing a family member.”

He said Mr Doutch would be forever remem-bered as highly popular, happy-go-lucky person who loved singing and loved fl ying.

JACK Hibberd's play A Stretch of the Imagination will be performed at Somers on the Queen’s Birthday weekend in the wetlands’ observatory at Coolart.

Wayne Pearn plays the ruggedly charming Monk O'Neill as he rages against the dying light.

Hibberd and the artistic team behind the show have donated their efforts to help raise money for Somers Pre-School.

Stretch of the Imagination follows Monk O’Neill, a grumpy old Aussie facing up to the end of his life.

The urban curmudgeon has decided on self-imposed exile, refl ecting on a life less ordinary from a remote shed.

His tales range from the philosophi-cal to the humourous.

First performed in 1974, at the Pram Factory in Melbourne, this produc-tion of A Stretch of the Imagination is directed by Renee Huish and was

originally presented for Bloomsday in Melbourne during the 2013/14 sum-mer season.

A Stretch of the Imagination, 3pm Saturday 7 June at the Auditorium, Coolart Wetlands Homestead, Lord Somers Rd, Somers. Bookings: 5983 1657 or 0438 598 997, $20 adults, $15 concession (not suitable for chil-dren under-15).

By Keith PlattBELLS are ringing at Balnarring and Flinders as part of a campaign to force the federal government to release children from its refugee detention cen-tres.

The peals may be a long way from Canberra where decisions of this type are made, although they are being tolled in the blue ribbon Liberal area of Flinders MP, Greg Hunt.

If the Rev Jennifer Furphy has her way churches throughout Australia will start to echo the distant sounds from her parish on the Mornington Penin-sula.

Ms Furphy believes the federal government is misreading the wishes of most Australians by holding more than 1030 children in detention, both in Australia and at centres on Christmas Island and Nauru.

“Refugees are entitled to seek asylum, it’s a universal human right, and Australians have more compassion that what the government seems to believe.”

The Tuesday night ringing of the bell started at St Marks, Balnarring, on 22 April and the follow-ing night at St John’s, Flinders.

“We’ll keep going until the children are released, or we die,” Ms Furphy said.

She said parishioners had sent letters and emails to Mr Hunt “but we haven’t received any replies”.

A search of Mr Hunt’s website by The News failed to unearth any news releases about asylum seekers or detained children, although a transcript of a 24 February radio interview quoted him as saying the government’s policies were aimed at preventing deaths at sea.

Ms Furphy said she was “cynical” about politi-cians’ using the prevention of deaths at sea to jus-tify their detention centre policies.

Mr Hunt, in the same radio interview, also de-fended the initial response and subsequent back down by Immigration Minister Scott Morrison to the death during a riot on Papua New Guinea’s

Manus Island of Reza Berati.Churchgoers carried candles through the laby-

rinth at St Marks on 23 February in memory of the 23-year-old Iranian asylum seeker and “to light up the darkness of oppression”.

Ms Furphy said churches fi rst started ringing bells more than 10 years ago “for the same reason” – children being held in detention by the Austral-ian government.

However, the number of children in detention back then was far fewer than at present.

“The situation is so much worse now,” she said.“I think that by remaining silent, when the gov-

ernment and the opposition are doing this, we risk losing our humanity. As part of the church, we must be people who stand up and speak out when we think something is wrong.

“Whether we get stacks of people turning up or whether we get hardly any, we’ll still ring the bell."

Ms Furphy said a vicar in Hastings was arrang-ing to ring hand bells because his church was not equipped with a bell while the church at Shore-ham would program its automatic bell to ring each week.

“We want all the churches on the Mornington Peninsula to do the same thing; the Victorian Council of Churches is considering taking it across the state.

“Some of these children are in detention in Aus-tralia – it’s not a compassionate way to deal with the problem.

“There are a lot of children without parents and I think claims for asylum by parents with children should be made quickly and in a humane way.”

Ms Furphy said investigations had revealed children to be suffering psychological problems caused by being held in detention.

“We have a groundswell of support that this treatment [of asylum seekers] is not what Austral-ians want.

“It’s wrong to be treating innocent children this way.”

COUNCIL WATCHVenue: Safety Beach Sailing Club. Monday 28 April 2014. Well attended on this rainy, blustery evening by those interested in Item 3.8, the twin Peninsula Link service centres ap-proved for Baxter. IT was a classic if confusing council debate, this set-to over the controver-sial “service centres” approved for Peninsula Link at Baxter – which are certain to deprive peninsula busi-nesses of revenue from sales of fuel, food and whatever else they choose to stock as motorists head to the beaches.

But that’s business, and the deci-sive and combative Planning Min-ister Matthew Guy was prepared to override VCAT (which had said no to them) and the shire (ditto), ignore his own planning ban on service stations on Green Wedge land and, rudest and most high-handed of all, do it in a way that left the servo opponents in the dark.

Take a close look at the picture of Mr Guy. Compare him with another energetic and decisive fi gure. Is there a resemblance? Council Watch detects similarities in the strong aq-uiline nose, the calculating eyes, the take-no-prisoners punch-proof chin.

Debate swirled among councillors and staff about the rights and wrongs of the Guy decision. Able and experi-enced planning offi cer Allan Cowley was recommending no legal action to challenge the minister’s decision. Able and experienced barrister Hugh Fraser was arguing a good case existed to challenge Mr Guy.

Mr Cowley said it would take only

Shire’s Waterloo in servo battleShire’s Waterloo in servo battle

an amendment for Mr Guy to win the war even if he lost initially to the shire – and the shire would be left with a legal bill the size of Versailles.

CW was reminded of Napoleon’s remark that “In politics... [you] never retreat, never retract... never admit a mistake”. He could refl ect on that while gazing over the ocean from St Helena.

Cr Lyn Bowden, in whose Watson ward the service centres will be built and whose constituents are keen for the jobs they will create, fought fi ercely and animatedly for her folk, as a good councillor does. And Lyn Bowden is a very good councillor.

Claim and counter claim was made about who knew what, or should have, and when. Mr Guy had claimed he made his servo decision when the shire failed to respond to him by a certain deadline. A cancelled Febru-ary council meeting was cited, Cr Da-vid Gibb frostily rebutted assertions that council could have dealt with the issue … and so on.

It barely mattered, all this palaver. The minister had decided the matter (“I can no longer obey; I have tasted

command, and I cannot give it up. – Napoleon) and was not about to retreat. But most councillors were not of a mind to cave in: a defi ant gesture was needed, and the council staff recommendation gave them what they needed.

Councillors Anne Shaw, the Da-

vids Garnock and Gibb, Fraser and Graham Pittock resolved to ask Mr Guy to approve a planning scheme amendment that would rescind his recent approval for the centres “in or-der to enable a thorough consultation process and independent assessment of the proposal to take place”.

Cr Bowden gained support from Cr Shaw, who pointed out that the minister’s decision-making had been unfair.

But Cr Bowden got further support from only Cr Antonella Celi and Cr Tim Rodgers. Cr Andrew Dixon absented himself from the debate, having disclosed an indirect inter-est in the matter. CW is told he is a bowser bounder.

POSTSCRIPT: Napoleon was responsible for a quote CW is fond of retailing to abusive and recalcitrant persons: “Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.” And he is the subject of a lovely palindrome: “Able was I ere I saw Elba.”

SOMERVILLE Secondary College has been selected to join a global part-nership involving 1000 schools across 10 countries to develop new ways to use cutting edge technology to educate and inspire students.

The college will join 72 Victorian and 20 Tasmania schools participating in the three-year initiative which aims to transform the way educators and students think about learning, teaching and assessment.

The New Pedagogies for Deep Learning: A Global Partnership con-nects schools with education leader Dr Michael Fullan – who supported the transformation of the Ontario School System into one of the highest performing in the world – and indus-try partners Microsoft, Intel and Pro-methean.

Member for Hastings Neale Burgess said Somerville Secondary College would be helping shape the future of learning across Australia and the world through its participation in the program.

“This is a unique opportunity that will showcase the impressive work of our local school community,” he said.

Education Minister Martin Dixon said technology was a great enabler for delivering a world-class education sys-tem while helping students and teach-ers across the globe share resources and best practices.

“Today’s schools are increasingly being challenged to remain relevant

to students and to prepare them for the social, economic and environmental tests they will face in life,” Mr Dixon said.

“The Victorian schools taking part in this initiative will play a vital role in helping shape the way technology can inspire young students and lift educa-tional outcomes.”

Dr Fullan said the initiative would and change the learning relationship between teachers and students to make learning more engaging and produc-tive.

He said that while there were local pockets of innovative teaching and learning supported by technology, no education system had yet replicated these islands of excellence across whole education systems.

“Unless a new pedagogy emerges, the students in school will become increasingly bored and the adults in-creasingly frustrated,” Dr Fullan said.

“Moreover, the pace of develop-ment in technology and its application to learning are creating new possibili-ties which, unless they are developed in school and made available for all, will simply be developed outside school and only for some. A new di-vide would emerge — and indeed this has already begun.”

The initiative would mobilise educa-tion systems to promote global collab-oration while uncovering and scaling education innovation, he said.

By Neil WalkerTHIEVES seeking the high life have struck at the Enchanted Maze Gardens at Arthurs Seat.

On two occasions last week, four intruders broke into the tree climbing tourist attraction at night and decided to do a bit of midnight tree surfi ng.

Nothing was stolen when the three men and one woman fi rst intruded on Sunday night but, on their return on the Tuesday, a locked plastic storage container was forced open and a res-cue kit including ropes and karabiners was pinched.

The equipment stolen is worth more than $2500.

Business owner Michael Savage said

“it was bloody dangerous anyway” for the youths to tree surf at night without supervision.

“They’ve probably not set out to steal the rescue kit and it’s been an op-portunistic theft but it’s still theft,” he said.

One of the men used a personal har-ness and chalk bag to climb up onto the treesurfi ng obstacle course.

“He obviously had some rock climb-ing experience,” Mr Savage said.

The tree-top climbing course at the Enchanted Maze Gardens has more than 50 aerial obstacles, bridges and zip-lines between tree-based platforms up to 10 metres high.

Police investigators believed the four

climbed over a perimeter fence just af-ter midnight on Tuesday 29 April to gain access to the property.

Security cameras were disabled by the intruders on both nights but on their second incursion the woman pre-sent was captured on fi lm.

Mr Savage said several security cameras are positioned around the En-chanted Maze Gardens premises and trespassers will be prosecuted.

Rosebud crime investigation unit de-tectives said anyone with information about the theft or anyone who may be able to identify the woman pictured should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestop-pers.com.au

By Caitlyn Sherriff*WHEN Jagger Fangmeier was 11 months old, his family’s world was turned upside down.

After months of continually being unwell he was diagnosed with an un-common genetic condition that affects his kidneys and liver.

His parents were told that without a kidney transplant the condition would end his young life.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kid-ney disease with congenital hepatic fi brosis of the liver causes cysts to de-velop on the kidneys during infancy, enlarging the kidneys and effecting the liver and spleen. Doctors have yet to fi nd a cure.

Without a transplant, Jagger’s con-dition will reach the point where his kidneys will fail.

Jagger’s disease puts pressure on his spleen which makes it harder for him to fi ght off infection and illness.

He has spent much of his life in and out of the Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department for treatment of severe infections that his body has been unable to fi ght on its own.

Jagger’s mum Amelia Fangmeier, of Rye, said it was a shock to the en-tire family when she learned her baby was so unwell.

“I just couldn’t believe that my beautiful baby boy was so sick and there was nothing I could do,” she said. “Specialists told me he would need a transplant at age fi ve in order to live, now they are saying it’s more likely going to be when he’s 10. This gives me more hope that he will have a donor and his body will be strong enough to undergo the transplant

Life long wait for kidney donorLife long wait for kidney donor

surgery.” Now almost four, the disease has had an enormous impact on Jag-ger’s life.

He is the size of a child half his age and is behind in his development.

It has affected his social skills as means that he constantly needs to be monitored when playing with other boys his age as a single knock to his abdomen can be fatal.

“Jagger only started walking when he was two after an enormous amount of physiotherapy. He spent most of the fi rst two years of his life lying down because the enlargement of his kid-neys and liver made it painful for him to do normal baby things like rolling and sitting,” Mrs Fangmeier said.

Every three months Jagger is taken to The Royal Children’s Hospital for a

day of tests and treatments.“Jagger is doing well for now, he is

not a healthy little boy, but he could be doing a lot worse. We live day to day not knowing what is around the corner.”

Knowing that her son will need a transplant in the near future Mrs Fangmeier is doing all she can to help raise the profi le of organ donation.

“Around 1500 people are on Aus-tralian organ transplant waiting lists at any one time and the greatest demand is for kidneys. Who knows what that number will be like by the time Jagger needs his operation,” she said.

As part of her awareness cam-paign Mrs Fangmeier is holding a trivia night and silent auction at the Rye Civic Centre on 24 May with all money raised going to research

and treatment for polycystic kidney disease.

Peninsula Health organ donation nurse specialist Jodi Vuat will be speak on the night about the impor-tance of becoming and organ donor.

“By becoming an organ donor you may be able to save the life of someone like Jagger. It is important that you make your wishes known to your family about your decision,” Ms Vuat said.

The trivia night is 7pm-11pm Sat-urday 24 May at Rye Civic Hall, 12 Napier St, Rye. Cost: $20 adults, $10 children. Call Amelia Fangmeier on 0410 142 680.

THE shire’s Art Acquisition Award has been won by local artist John Whitelaw, while a work by 2012 winner Janet Green was named best in show at the recent Mornington Peninsula Art Show.

Whitelaw’s award winning oil on canvas titled Mt Martha Shoreline earned the $2000 prize during the annual art show, which was held at Rosebud Secondary College’s Southern Peninsula Art Centre over Easter, while Green’s earned the eye of the judges for her work titled Stranded Gippsland.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the Art Acquisition Award was considered the penin-sula’s most prestigious art award, with previous winners including Bryan Baldwin and Jenni Macauley.

“The award, now valued at $2000, is given for the best Mornington Peninsula-themed work and

has resulted in a growing collection of outstand-ing local works held in the shire collection. I sincerely congratulate our 2014 winner John Whitelaw,” Cr Celi said.

In 2012, Green was awarded the Art Acquisi-tion Award for her artwork Beach Path Capel Sound, which was chosen by Cr Celi as a feature piece for her offi ce.

“Janet’s work, along with many of our local artists, is of exemplary quality,” Cr Celi said.

“I congratulate Janet on winning best in show for 2014 and look forward to her works being displayed at both the Regional Gallery and the Shire offi ces for many years to come.”

She said the the Mornington Peninsula Art Show had become an important element in the “rich tapestry of the arts” across the peninsula by combining a quality venue for the exhibition with quality work by leading artists.

The forum is being organised by Mornington Rotary Club in conjunction with Australian Ro-tary Health and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Keynote speakers include associate professor Felice Jacka, who is at the forefront of research looking at the link between mental illness in children, adolescents and adults and their lifestyle choices including diet, exercise and smoking.

Also attending are professor Jane Fisher, who deals with women’s reproductive health and mental health, and psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, who will focus on adolescent health and wellbeing and adolescent parenting.

“Mental disorders have become the main source of disability burden in Australia and Australian Rotary Health has become one of the fi rst research organisations to commit funding to fi nding effective preventive strategies for mental disorders,” Rotarian John Renowden said.

While everyone is welcome to attend, the forum will be of particular interest to general practitioners, health care professions, teachers

THE federal government has given $10,000 to refurbish the relocated Somerville cenotaph in time for next year’s centenary of Anzac com-memorations.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s manager for libraries, arts and culture, Geoff Carson, said the money would be used to complete the second stage of the project following its relocation to Fruitgrowers Reserve last month.

The refurbishment will include new plaques, seating and story boards.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt said the cenotaph was now “even more of a centrepiece of the town”.

“The cenotaph is one of the most striking

cenotaphs on the Mornington Peninsula and it is brilliant to see it restored,” Mr Hunt said.

He said next year’s Anzac centenary com-memoration promised to be “the most signifi -cant national period of commemoration in our nation’s history”.

The memorial project was initially planned to be completed by the end of 2013 but was delayed by technical complications, including damage to three of nine surrounding bollards.

The war memorial was built in 1923 at the intersection of Frankston-Flinders Rd and Eramosa Road West, before being moved to the corner of Jones Rd and Clarinda St in 1966.

Adelaide optionAdelaide optionWITH the ever increasing comment regarding the possible placement of the next Victoria container port, there is too much debate on where and when. The west of Melbourne possibility has been debunked as not viable by the boffi ns of Collins St. Even those who are still espousing the Melbourne option need to face reality and realise it is bereft of fi nancial viability.

I am surprised that the state gov-ernment may have failed to see the elephant in the room. The biggest threat to Victoria’s port infrastructure and jobs is not in this state.

Last month I visited the Port of Adelaide, and had discussions with various organisations and tug com-panies. While in many areas South Australia - due to the auto industry and its inability to construct naval ships on time has contributed the that state’s economic graveyard - the Port of Adelaide is punching well above its weight.

During my visit I noted a new port road, a rail and rail opening bridges over the Port River direct to the outer harbour region, bypassing the necessity to use any broad gauge rail through the metropolitan and Port Adelaide areas. New oil, grain and other port infrastructure and plenty of berths and land infrastructure similar to Hastings is available for immediate additional containerisation.

Flinders Ports cover all cargo ports within South Australia. The CEO is a former senior executive of the former Port of Geelong.

The infrastructure is basically in place and with wharf side standard gauge rail already existing and large “block trains” that could move move hundreds, if not thousands of boxes ei-ther way overnight between Adelaide and Melbourne.

I feel confi dent that South Australia, which is grasping at any economic straw, could turn its container opera-tions into a regional port servicing Victoria with rail, road or small feeder container ships.

For those carping about a Hastings container port, it is an important in-frastructure for Victoria. A loss to our state of the largest port for containers in Australia, not to mention thousands of jobs, would jeopardise future growth in our region.William (Bill) G T Barber, Hastings

Complex issueComplex issueTREVOR Meyer raises some interest-ing points in his letter “Fear of Facts” (The News 29/4/14). He also may know Western Port well after living and working here some 50 years. However, I would like to point out that he has been fortunate enough to experience this region at a time of

much fewer developments, environ-mental issues and other local and global impacts. The future is a very different story.

Concerns for Western Port are not restricted to oil spills and other worst case scenarios regarding shipping.

Those who seek to preserve and protect Western Port are worried about the delicate and unique ecology of the bay as well as the degradation of the area and overall impact. A simplistic, localised view is inadequate.

There are many complex and critical aspects:

Oil and chemical spills: The results could be catastrophic. The public is constantly assured of world’s best technology in shipping standards and risk management but accidents and leakages still happen all the time.

Air pollution: The fumes from ships are toxic and dangerous to human health and ships engines run 24/7. Ships contribute more to air pollu-tion than cars and cause an increasing number of deaths globally each year.

Light pollution: Not just from the port but also the surrounding related industry and constant land transportation.

Noise pollution: Those of us who live within the vicinity of Hastings and Tyabb know how far the cur-rent train and traffi c noise can travel. Increased traffi c: We have all noticed how much busier the roads are now and how much more frequently ac-cidents occur. Not to mention the poor road quality as a result of overuse.

Land and sea erosion: Municipali-ties around the world are preparing for sea levels rising. Climate adaptation programs are being implemented in order to be prepared. We have no idea how higher sea levels combined with vessel generated waves will impact our shoreline and sea fl oor – notably the sea grasses and mangroves which are crucial to Western Port. Combine the effect of this with dredging and it could be devastating and irreversible.

Bird and marine life: Impacts on the migratory and resident birdlife and marine ecosystems should be a top priority. Delicate and fragile environ-ments are intricately balanced and under enormous pressure everywhere on the planet with bird numbers in decline. What critical habitat is left must be preserved.

Economic: The ongoing cost of all of the above is inestimable and possibly infi nite. Places like the Netherlands, New York, New Orleans and the Mississippi delta are spending billions as they scramble to somehow manage the damage caused due to loss of wetlands, seagrass loss and coastal erosion. We should be learning from their mistakes.

While Mr Meyer might feel there is misinformation about oil spills and ballast water, I feel there is a hell of a lot more at stake. My experience includes meetings with the US coast-

guard and work with marine pilotage authorities in North America and other sources so, I too, have some knowl-edge of the shipping environment from a risk perspective.

The public must demand an inde-pendent review, transparency and none of this go-ahead-at-all-costs attitude and economic spin from our government.

Louise Page, Tyabb

Missed the pointMissed the pointAS president of Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council I resent Trevor Meyer’s letter (Fear of facts”, The News 29/4/14). He criticised all oil spill models and our recent oil spill model but missed the point in arguing what sort of oil should be used.

The oil spill model was prepared by Asia Pacifi c Science Services Solutions, preferred consultants of the Australian Maritime Industry. The oil spills were based on 27 previous real oil spills, and the fi ndings were that oil spilt from shipping traffi c in West-ern Port would hit local shorelines within minutes and high conservation areas in hours and that attempts to clean up would be diffi cult at best.

The same way the oil moved in the scenario so too could dredge spoil or marine pest larvae move. See our website www.wppcinc.org.

Our aim was to host a seminar to ex-plain two scientifi c reports: one on the effects of the oil spill scenarios and proposed port development on birds, and one on seagrass. These effects varied from signifi cant to devastating for Western Port .

Dr Jenny Lau, from Birdlife Australia, based her work on, among other things, the wader bird study in WesternPort, one of the longest running studies on birds in Australia. Dr Hugh Kirkman from Western Port Seagrass Partnership, who studied the bay’s seagrass in the groundbreaking Shapiro study, presented on seagrass.

Mr Meyer corrected Dr Jenny Lau, stating that the Iron Baron was a standard bulk carrier. He missed the point. Even though the Iron Baron was not an oil tanker, when it ran aground in Bass Strait it killed 7000-17,000 penguins. Even small ships have enough bunker oil to damage ecosystems.

A detailed article about the Iron Baron by Dr Brian Cuming is on our website.

We welcome questions at our events and Mr Meyer asked a question at the March seminar, where he seemed to express a belief that oil spills, dredg-ing and marine pests are not threats associated with port development.

Even the state government acknowl-edges these as threats.

Mr Meyer was asked by our guest speaker if he agrees that putting an environmental bond up for the bay is

reasonable and he agreed.The bay is worth up to $2 billion a

year for its ecosystem services (see our website) and the same amount for tourism. Multiply that by a conserva-tive fi ve years and that would be $20 billion for an environmental bond.Western Port is too valuable to risk this proposed port expansion.

Karri Giles, president Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council

Power callPower callUNITED Energy? I live in one of four units all single occupants and all over 70 years old. A year ago we had a blackout which was temporarily fi xed by United Energy (UE) and [given] advice that we had an urgent need for a new black box.

We hired an electrician who prom-ised to do the job but, after weeks of his dealings with UE, he disappeared, no doubt in frustration.

Three months ago another black-out and an ugent warning by the UE maintenance people for a new black box, with the added comment “If it rains there’s a real danger of water getting in”.

We urgently found another electri-cian who assured us he was deter-mined to succeed. Apparently UE is required to attend and approve.

Two of us were with AGL and two with other providers.

In fi lling out the necessary paper-work he was advised by UE that it had no record of units supplied by AGL. Eventually this was sorted out and he submitted the required paperwork. He was then advised that separate paper-work was required for each unit.

In the meantime I telephoned UE to inquire as to the delay and the urgency of four older people living with the threat of another blackout, particularly with winter fast approaching. I was told the computer had no record of our particular problem and that I/we should get in touch with our electri-cian. Our electrician, a gentleman of amazing patience and goodwill, has now completed all the paperwork and we patiently await UE approval, a process that was begun some 12 weeks ago.

Coxhell connectionsCoxhell connectionsTHE stories on WW1 in the Anzac edition of (The News 22/4/14), includ-ed mention of Leslie Coxhell from the family living near The Briars, Mt Martha. The Coxhells were well associated with the historic Alexander Balcombe property, as mentioned under “Coxhell Pioneers, Thomas and Theresa”. Theresa Tynan had come to the Briars in 1855 contracted to work for a year as a ladies maid. She then married Thomas Coxhell in 1857 and his fi rst job in the area was as a

bricklayer for various buildings at The Briars.

The Briars was developed by Alexan-der Balcombe from about 1846. After Alexander died in 1877 the property of some 1100 acres was left to his wife Emma for her lifetime and then to his son Herbert Henty Balcombe. Emma died in 1907, but Herbert Henty was well established with his brother Alick at “Coradgery” near Parkes in NSW, so he sold the property about 1909/10 to his eldest sister and eldest surviving child of Alexander, Jane Emma, widow of James Murphy (who had died in 1896). Their only son Alexander Balcombe (A B) Murphy helped his mother farm The Briars.

So the Coxhells saw the Briars from Alexander’s time to the Murphys.

Balcombe descendant Dame Mabel Brookes mentions Leslie Coxhell in one of her books, seeking treatment from Dr Balcombe Quick, another Balcombe descendant.

Dame Mabel was in Cairo involved with nursing. She mentions that “with the big fl ow of wounded from Gallipoli, ships were used as hospital carriers to Alexandria and Malta . Dr Balcombe Quick, her cousin was a surgeon on the beach at Gallipoli and a man sorely hit asked to see him and no other surgeon – he identifi ed himself as a Coxhell living near the gates of The Briars and wanted him as one of the Balcombe family to fi x him, which Dr Quick did”.

A B Murphy had been in England when WW1 started and joined up there and served at Gallipoli where he was badly wounded. Dame Mabel in Crowded Galleries, relates that when in Cairo during WW1 she got a wire from Alexandria from a cousin, the then owner of The Briars. He had been shot in the arm at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, and shipped to hospital in Alexandria. “Alec had given my name as next of kin, and as an operation was pending he had sent me a telegram. Dame Mabel got a night train and went to him and he asked her to make sure they didn’t take his arm off – the combined efforts of Mabel, A B and relative Dr Balcombe Quick, who was in the hospital, saved his arm.”

Dr Balcombe Quick, a distinguished surgeon, was the son of Alexander’s daughter Lucia Emily Balcombe and Wm Hichins Quick. He studied medicine at Melbourne University and London (Fellowship of the Royal Col-lege of Surgeons) 1910 and returned to the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne.

As a captain in the militia 1912, he enlisted WW1, age 31, and as a surgeon surgeon served in Egypt, Gallipoli and France. He developed methods of treatment, was mentioned in despatches and was awarded DSO June 1918. Demobbed in Jan 1919, he went back to the Alfred Hospital.

NOMINATIONS close this week to attend one of two forums which could decide the future of waste disposal on the Mornington Peninsula, in-cluding the life span of the Rye landfi ll.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is reviewing its municipal waste management strategy and is holding the forums to involve members of the public.

The shire is also undertaking a survey and an online forum to fi nd out how residents dispose of rubbish, their “recycling habits”, how they use recycling depots, (“resource recovery centres”) and what they think about landfi lls.

Last year the shire faced stiff opposition and was forced to abandon plans for a quarry at Ar-thurs Seat to be used for a tip.

The mayor Cr Antonella Celi said the forums and surveys “will help guide council to make sustainable decisions for the future”.

“With the shire’s overall vision to move to-wards zero waste to landfi ll, there are a number of opportunities for the community to get in-volved in the review process,” she said.

Council is considering new services such as kerbside collection of food and garden waste; a weekly recycling service over summer; and in-creasing the number of free green waste drop-off weekends.

“The community will be invited to comment on the draft [waste and resource recovery] strat-egy, with comments feeding into the fi nal strat-egy which will be presented to council later this year,” Cr Celi said.

To nominate to attend one of the two forums email [email protected] or call 5950 1257 by Thursday 8 May.

The online forum is at www.yoursay.mornpen.vic.gov.au or call the shire for a hard copy survey on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000 by 30 May.

GIRL footballers will hit the grounds for a 10-round season on Sunday 18 May.

The two girls’ division include teams from Rosebud, Seaford, Mt Eliza, Langwarrin, Edithvale-Aspendale, Frankston Rovers and a combined team from Frankston District Junior Football League clubs that were unable to indi-vidually fi eld teams.

The competition being held by the Frankston District Junior Football League (FDJFL) in conjunction with AFL South East includes junior girls aged 9-13 and youth girls 14-18.

FDJFL president Stuart Mason described the response to female football in the region as “mind-blowing”.

“To think that at the start of this year we had one club coming to us saying they wanted to do this and now we have 10 teams, two competi-tions and hundreds of girls ready to take the fi eld

is just mind-blowing,” he said.“All credit goes to the clubs for driving the

initiative within their communities.”AFL South East Region general manager Jeremy

Bourke said the result was “very impressive”.“When discussions were fi rst held, we were

hopeful of attracting enough players to fi eld three or four teams. It just shows there is an appetite for female football on the peninsula and with further promotion and development, this has the potential, in a very short period of time, to be one of the leading female programs in the country.”

n Georgia Walker and Lizzie Muir from the MPJFL Youth Girls Team (which competes in the South East Juniors) and Jordy Allen from Rye under-14s have been selected for the Vic-torian Metro Girls under-18 side compete in the national carnival in Canberra 4-9 May.

Free tippingFree tippingMORNINGTON Peninsula residents can dis-pose of green waste for free over the 17-18 May weekend.

The no charge green waste weekend is for shire residents, with green waste being brought to the recycling centres only in residential vehi-cles and trailers. Commercial operators will still be charged.

The tipping centres in Truemans Rd Rye, McKirdys Rd, Tyabb and Watt Rd, Mornington, open 8am – 5pm.

The Mornington centre can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste a trip.

For details about the free green waste week-end or the kerbside green bin collection service, call 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000, or visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

Continued from Page 1Both men were arrested and their licences im-

mediately suspended. A further three offending drivers returned posi-

tive breath tests at a booze bus site operating in the area at the time.

All eight drivers are expected to be charged on summons with drink driving offences.

Police have also breath tested more than 5000 people leaving Frankston’s pubs and clubs dur-ing the fi rst month of a major ongoing operation targeting drink driving.

Police set up road blocks in locations around licensed premises in Frankston identifi ed as high-risk for drink driving violations as part of Opera-tion Short Stop, which began at the start of April and is set to continue until mid-May.

Since the operation began, police have breath tested 5058 people and detected 19 drink drivers, including two probationary drivers, over the limit.

Three drivers had their licences immediately sus-pended after being detected with a Blood Alcohol Concentration more than double the legal limit.

Police also detected four unlicensed drivers and one disqualifi ed driver and uncovered 10 other traffi c offences.

Leading Senior Constable Scott Woodford from Frankston highway patrol said police made no apologies for targeting motorists who put lives at risk by getting behind the wheel after a boozy night out.

“We all know how dangerous it is to drink and drive and yet disappointingly, the message does not appear to be getting through to everyone,” he said. “Police will continue to use every method at our disposal to detect and remove impaired drivers from our roads.

“The area around a booze bus is very well mon-itored by unmarked patrol cars ready to catch mo-torists who think they can slip past when they’ve had too much to drink. If you drink and drive, you should expect to be caught.”

Police are inviting community members to lend support to the campaign by posting their ideas and sharing their stories through our Facebook and Twitter pages using the hashtag #roadtozero.

“FAIR is the morn in fl owery May, and sweet is night in Autumn mild” is one line from the 1786 poem “The Lass O’Ballochmyle” written by famous Scottish bard Robbie Burns. Although the work is about a beautiful Scottish maiden, it seems fi tting that May and Autumn are the chosen month and season to bring this truly spectacular property - a beauty in its own right - to the market. Dating back to the 1870s, Ballochmyle encompasses about 4 hectares and as a property is defi ned by the absolute privacy and beautiful wide open spaces. The main house is set towards the back of the block, and is accessed via a meandering tree-lined driveway, that snakes its way past a stunning ornamental lake. The driveway splits at one point and works its way up to a machinery shed, fi ve-car garage and storage outbuildings in the far corner, but continuing on in the direction of the house, you pass a delightful gazebo and the sheer beauty of the home unfolds before you. A grand entry is resplendent underneath soaring 4.2-metre (14-feet) ceilings with chandeliers and ceiling roses that are precise in every detail. Baltic pine polished fl oors lead past a dazzling formal lounge and dining room, with bedrooms two and three on the opposite side of the hall - the larger main bedroom has a sublime ensuite with feature leadlight windows. A spacious open plan kitchen and family area has a wonderful warmth to it with a combination of marble bench tops and rosewood timbers in the kitchen combining with a striking fi replace built from handmade bricks. From a sunroom you have access out to the entertainment area. Each room is so rich in individual character and detail, the old real estate cliché of ‘you must inspect to fully appreciate’ rings true. The external features of the property are as impressive as those found inside. From the entertainment deck you overlook a splendid in-ground pool with spa, there is also a pool house, and under the same roof line is a triple garage. A detached two-bedroom, two bathroom cottage is an absolute delight, and is positioned close to the full-size tennis court that is complete with fl ood lights.

DID you know more than 80 per cent of Australians will experience serious foot problems at some point in their lives?

Considering most of our daily activities rely heavily on our feet and legs, this can be a major concern.

The most common foot and leg concerns include: Shin pain commonly known as shin splints Achilles pain often referred to as achilles tendonitis Ankle pain and sprains, arch and heel pain most commonly referred to and often incorrectly diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis Bunions, knee pain and injuries. All of which can be caused by faulty biomechanics or bad foot posture continually pulling your body out of alignment

The good news is you don’t have to put

up with foot and leg pain or discomfort. Most of these concerns can be quite easily addressed, if diagnosed correctly and treated appropriately.

Much foot and leg pain doesn’t get addressed successfully due to incorrect diagnosis and treatment of the symptoms and not the cause.

Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics said: “Foot and leg pain is very common and can have a huge affect on your mobility and activity.

The problem is many don’t get their issues attended to effectively, either because they think nothing can be done, they don’t know who can assist them or have seen practitioners who have provided incorrect diagnosis, advice or inappropriate treatment.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics see many people who’ve been told nothing can

be done for them or that surgery or medication are their only options, which is often not the case.

With correct diagnosis and utilising the very latest medical research and treatments they are able to treat most foot and leg pain quite easily, even cases that have been untreatable in the past.

They can even regenerate soft tissue and heal injuries thanks to new, natural injection therapies.

So don’t just put up with foot and leg pain, problems or injuries.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have helped some of the world’s best athletes and thousands of people just like you!

PART of the answer to parking problems at Frankston station could lie further north at Kananook.

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw says increas-ing the parking area along Bardia Ave near the Kananook station would ease pressure on Frankston.

“This is a viable option for reducing commuter stress concerning parking,” Mr Shaw said.

He said parking was Kananook was “very lim-ited” with commuters often choosing Frankston station “simply to get a car park” or risking a fi ne by parking in private gardens.

“While the possibility of an increase in the amount of parking spots available at Frankston station is being investigated, an increase in quan-tity at Kananook is a reasonable solution which utilises land that is currently going to waste,” Mr Shaw said.

“With Chisholm students and commuters

already stretching parking, the added traffi c of the soon-to-be-completed aquatic centre will add even more pressure to the station precinct.

“The only option for Frankston station parking is to start building a multi-level complex, how-ever this will need to have appropriate commu-nity consultation and is a considerably expensive solution.

“A better option would be to take advantage of unused land close to Kananook station before investing millions of dollars into a multi-storey car park here.”

Mr Shaw said Frankston Council had taken more than 220 car parks from the foreshore and station precinct.

“With additional lighting and added PSOs [Protective Services Offi cers] managing com-muter safety at Kananook, this station could be upgraded to handle a higher volume of passen-gers for far less taxpayer-funded expense.”

Space available: Frankston MP Geoff Shaw says land near Kananook station should be used for parking instead of millions being spent on a multi-level car park at Frankston.

‘Patchwork’ station‘Patchwork’ stationplan condemnedplan condemnedBy Neil WalkerPROMISES to upgrade Frankston railway station and its surrounds made by ex-premier Ted Baillieu before the 2010 state election could come back to haunt the Coalition government this year.

With just months until the state election in November, the state government has issued a revised plan that omits many of the improvements spruiked by the former premier.

The latest proposal does not mention a new bus interchange at the station or a new multi-deck car park, as fl agged by Baillieu six days before voters went to the polls on 27 November 2010.

The Department of Transport Planning and Local Infrastructure released a ‘Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project’ featuring draft ideas for public feedback last month but neglected to make any announcement about the plan or the deadline for feedback.

The draft was posted on the department’s website.

Cr Colin Hampton will urge Frankston Council to seek urgent meetings with Premier Denis Napthine and state Planning Minister Matthew Guy to lobby for council to be “the lead organisation” to construct a transit interchange at the Frankston station “within the next year”.

Cr Hampton said the money for the $13.8 million project could be deducted from the $100

million pledged by the state government for Frankston line upgrades.

“They need to build a fair dinkum bus terminal there and that should include a multi-storey car park,” Cr Hampton said.

“The current proposal is just a patchwork plan and is a waste of money.”

He said a new bus terminal should be built on the Fletcher Rd side of the station to clear the Young St side which is often congested with traffi c.

He said the state government was “not listening” and the Frankston station upgrade plans have been “handballed to bureaucrats”.

He blamed “successive state governments” for failing to provide a “safe and attractive” station.

A project manager hired by council, but paid for by the state government, would be the ideal way to ensure progress is made on the station upgrade, according to Cr Hampton.

The latest DTPLI draft plan aims to “deliver improvements to the station’s surroundings” by installing wider footpaths and moving towards “a greener precinct with more trees and space”.

“High-quality lighting” within the station and its surrounds is also planned.

Visit www.dpcd.vic.gov.au to see the Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan.

The deadline for public feedback on the draft plan is Friday 23 May.

AS a result of a decree of Chief Commis-sioner Sainsbury, many police:- Constables McCormack at Frankston and O’Shannasey at Hastings among the number - have been deprived of their horses, and have been given bicycles instead. That constable O’Shannasey is more at home astride the pigskin than push-ing a bike was illustrated at Somerville one day last week, when the “boy in blue” from Hastings was seen riding up the street on his newly acquired bicycle wearing his spurs. No doubt if he uses that means of inducing his mount to go, Commissioner Sainsbury will be glad to replace the horse, as it would prove an expensive matter to repair the bicycle if the spurs were used too frequently.

***A GRAND dance, to defray the expenses of a Frankston child who has been an inmate of the Queen’s Memorial Infectious Diseases hospital will be held in the Mechanics’ hall, Frankston on Saturday, 16th May. An orches-tra of four performers has been engaged, and light refreshments will be provided. The prices of tickets are double 3s 6d singles.

***MR Alfred John McKenzie, 58, man-ager for Mr Oliver at “Tuerong” died suddenly from heart failure on Wednesday night. Deceased, who was born at St. Kilda, was well known in New South Wales and Queensland.

***PERSONS having claims against the es-tate of the late Robert Patterson are required to send in particulars to Mr L. R. N. Utber on or before 8th June next.

***A SOCIAL in connection with St. Paul’s club Frankston, will be held in the Mechan-ics hall on Wednesday, 13th May. A farce, Dr Diaculum will be given by Messrs M. Elliott, H. Allen, C. Ellis and A. Bailey. After the programme, supper and a short dance will be held.

***OWING to illness of a rather severe nature, the Rev R. Jackson, of Frankston, was unable to fulfi l his engagements on Sunday last, nor will he be able to do so tomorrow. We are pleased to state that the condition of the rev gentleman is improving, and we hope to see him about again very shortly.

***THERE should be a crowded house at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall this (Saturday) evening, when the celebrated quartet “We Four,” which comprises Mr Frederick Earp, Mr Herbert Slattery, Mr Claude Schilling, and Mr Walter Burleigh, will submit a high class programme. The quartet party will be assisted by Miss Jessie Crombe and Miss Maude Crombe, and Messrs F. Plummer (Flute) and W. P. Mason (Violin). The proceeds are in aid of the Frankston Fire Brigade, and this should ensure a bumper house.

***MR Fred Barclay’s new villa is just complet-ed, it being built on the latest designs and has eight rooms in it.

***AT one of the usual practice matches of the tennis club which are held on Wednesday afternoons, Mr Les. Owen was presented with an inkstand, and Miss Owen with a jewel cas-ket. Mr J. M. Watt, president of the club made the presentation on behalf of the club, and Mr Owen responded in a very neat speech.

***

THE Rev Lamble of St. Stephen’s, Richmond, assisted by Rev Croxley of Cheltenham, had the pleasure of inducting the Rev Watts on Wednesday night last as Vicar of the parish.

***IT is with regret we report the death of Mr Thomas J. Rossiter, who was a native of the Dandenong district, but had been residing at “The Oaks”, New South Wales for some years, carrying on business as a stock and sta-tion agent. After attending a sale at Camden on 14th inst., Mr Rossiter was preparing to return home, when he stepped on a stone, which caused him to sprain his ankle, and, in trying to save himself from falling, he broke his ankle. He was conveyed to the Camden hospital, and his death was quite unexpected. He was the eldest son of the late T. J. Ros-sister, of “Ballymaran,” Frankston.

***MUCH regret was expressed on Thursday of last week by offi c-ers of the State Public Service on hearing of the death of Mr J. G. Turner, chief horticultural of-fi cer of the Agricultural Department, which took place that morning at his home, Hart’s parade, Au-burn. For some time Mr Turner was in indifferent health, and lately had to absent himself from duty, but none of his brother offi cers thought that his illness was serious. Mr Turner, who was 47 years of age, was born in Adelaide and educated at Prince Alfred’s College in that city. He entered the state service, nearly 26 years ago, and after spend-ing a few years in the Penal Department was transferred to the Agri-

cultural Department. As Chief Fruit Inspector he did much to clear pests from orchards, and to help to develop the export trade. He leaves a widow and four children - three girls and a boy.

***BETWEEN 50 and 60 ratepayers attended at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston on Wednes-day evening, for the purpose of having the proposed water scheme for the Peninsula explained, and to signify their willingness or otherwise to have the scheme carried out. Cr T. Ritchie occupied the chair, and the engineer (Mr Sambell) explained the proposed scheme very fully. With reference to statements made by Mr Webb at a public meeting that a sup-ply from Bunyip would be more practicable, Mr Sambell said that the proposed offtake level was much too low for our require-ments. Bunyip was only about 100ft. above sea level, and it would be necessary to go another 15 miles to get a point high enough. The offtake would have to be nearer 900 ft., and if they went that high, there would not be much catchment area. Instead of the 43 miles of main they now proposed to have, it would be nearer 70 miles, and the supply would be smaller. He would visit the spot and take levels and see what water was available, but he did not think for a minute that it would be taken into consideration in connection with this scheme. Dr Maxwell asked if it was proposed to have a meter charge as a well as the annual charge, and the engineer said that that would be governed by the quantity of water a person used. If it was found that any person was wasting water, then he would have to have a meter installed. The chairman then asked for a show of hands of those in favour of the scheme, and he declared the result as unanimously in favour. Crs Oates and Plow-man moved a vote of thanks to the engineer, which was carried with acclamation, and the meeting terminated.

KIDSKIDS

By Stuart McCulloughIT began, as these things do, slowly. At fi rst you’d catch just an occa-sional, fl eeting glimpse and smirk quietly to yourself at someone else’s misfortune. Before you knew it, they were everywhere you turned – men wearing pointy shoes could not be avoided.

The pointy shoe is by no means a recent invention, although it used to be confi ned to a certain time and place. Specifi cally, it was a ‘going out’ shoe; something you might wear to a nightclub or to your cousin’s engagement party. It was not, under any circumstance, something that you would ever consider wearing to work. But if going out shoes weren’t bad enough, things were about to take a turn for the worse. Before you could say “wanker”, men were suddenly wearing not only going out shoes but their good shirts also. For those unfa-miliar with the concept of ‘the good shirt’, it’s the one you save for special occasions when you really want to impress people. It is fundamentally and immediately distinguishable from ‘the work shirt’. Even worse, these people were parading around, their heads crowned with some kind of hair porcupine. We’ve now reached a point where it’s impossible to tell whether a colleague is walking to the photocopier or to the bar to get another round of drinks.This mad-ness must stop. Work is work and we should dress appropriately. There is no excuse for looking as though we’ve arrived at the offi ce via The 21st Century Dance Club. I may

sound harsh but it’s not as if I’m com-pletely without sympathy. I too know the power of a quality pair of shoes.

I was in Year 10 at the time, and still at an age where my parents bought my clothing for me. My best sneak-

ers had Velcro. I’m not sure what you think about Velcro, but it’s a sad state of affairs when someone looks at shoelaces and thinks they’re too complicated. I also owned shoes with zippers. I’d been playing in a band for

a number of years and was becoming quite self-conscious. Whereas previ-ously I’d stumbled onto stage in cords and a windcheater, the crowds were now expecting more and I was eager to please.

Chris Blacker was the fi rst to buy them; black, shiny boots with a golden belt buckle. It was the most amazing pair of shoes that I had ever encountered. At the time, they looked sophisticated, sleek and artistic. With the benefi t of hindsight, they looked like the kind of shoes you’d expect to be worn by an unemployed goblin. Nevertheless, I wanted my own pair of boots.

They retailed at somewhere around the fi fty dollar mark, which seemed prohibitively expensive. I’m sure I dropped a series of hints and, pos-sibly, catalogues around the house. In spite of my concentrated efforts, I was still surprised when I was presented with a box. I’d learned from bitter ex-perience that receiving a box and as-suming there was actually something in it was a dangerous game destined to end in disappointment, so I quickly threw it to one side. After some per-sistent encouragement and a written undertaking, I opened the shoebox to fi nd a pair of size ten and half black boots with a double gold buckle on each shoe. It was the double buckle that really appealed to me; as if a single buckle could not possibly do. I was extremely proud of my shoes. Of course I wore them when playing with the band, not only at performances but rehearsals also. I wore them whenever I could, save that I refused to wear them to high school. I like to think

of this as a separation of powers. Throughout my schooling years, I stuck with a pair of tried and true Bata scouts. They weren’t glamorous and they didn’t have single buckle, much less two, but they got the job done.

I’m not sure what it is that drives people to show their colleagues their outside life. There’s a quiet despera-tion in trying to reveal who you really are by your choice of footwear. It’s as though there’s a hunger to prove that you’re more than just the job you happen to hold. Does it have to be through clothing? Are we so disabled when it comes to communicating our individual essence to our fellow human beings? Perhaps we should be encouraged to communicate a little more thoroughly before we resort to dressing up as though we’re ready to queue up for the Over 28s night at Transformers.

It’s ironic, I think, that nightclubs require patrons to dress to impress. Perhaps if men attend for work in pointy shoes, management can reserve the right to refuse entry. Maybe I’m being a little too harsh. After all, I ceased wearing my boots immedi-ately upon going to university and discovering that they were about as fashionable as a pair of bell-bottom fl ares. I stopped wearing my bell-bottom fl ares too.

Come to think of it, my feet prob-ably haven’t changed that much in the years since. Maybe I should dig them out, give them one more spin around the block and wear them to work.

By Gary Turner

PerformanceRICK Springfi eld was a member of the very popular sixties group, Zoot.

Born Richard Springthorpe in Guild-ford NSW in 1949, by the time he was 14 he had his fi rst guitar and over the next few years Rick played with various groups including Moppa Blues, Wick-edy Wak and M.P.D Ltd.

His big break came in 1969 when he joined Zoot and remained with them un-til their breakup in 1971. He later signed with Sparmac Records and released his fi rst solo single Speak to the Sky which became a Top 10 hit in Australia and Top 20 in the USA.

The Grammy award-winning musi-cian, actor and New York Times best-selling author is returning to rock Oz in October, with a national tour.

It has been a while since Australian audiences have seen Rick Springfi eld in concert with his own band, although he was the headliner for the Countdown Spectacular tour of 2007 and a very privileged few witnessed him live in a wine bar in a Melbourne suburb in July 2012.

With 25 million records sold, multi-ple top-40 hits, including Don’t Talk to Strangers, An Affair of the Heart, I’ve Done Everything for You, Love Some-body and Speak To The Sky, as well as a 1981 Grammy for Best Male Rock Vo-cal for his No.1 hit single Jessie’s Girl. He also introduced and had his own hit with the Mondo Rock classic State Of The Heart in America.

Rick Springfi eld’s shows are legend-ary for their rock, high energy, full band sets and classic song lists. According to many, Springfi eld live is more aligned to Springsteen because of his rock’n’roll style performances. He even once re-corded the song Bruce in recognition of this.

Touring Australia with his band has been something Rick has been eager to do for a long time. “ I am and will al-ways be an Aussie. My best memories of my early career are all centred around Australia. It will forever be my home. I can’t believe I have never done a full

tour in Australia as a solo performer”.Following the breakup of Zoot in

1970, Rick was Russell Morris’ bass player for a few months before he re-leased his debut single Speak to the Sky. In 1972 he released his fi rst solo album, Beginnings before he relocated to the US later the same year. 40 years later, he is a special guest on Russell’s new album Van Dieman’s Land.

Once in the US, Springfi eld continued to record and perform live before begin-ning a new career as a TV actor appear-ing in The Rockford Files and Wonder Woman, before landing the lead, as Dr. Noah Drake, in General Hospital a role that won him a legion of fans.

Rick’s star was well and truly on the rise when he released his album Work-ing Class Dog which became a smash hit in 1980 and spawned the number one hit Jessie’s Girl. In the following years he continued to record and perform

live along with appearances in fi lms and TV shows and on Broadway in the musical Smokey Joe’s Cafe. His role as Dr Noah in General Hospital was reprised following a 23-year absence. He was recently the centrepiece of the plot of David Duchovny’s Californica-tion third season playing a very lovable but degenerate character named …Rick Springfi eld.

Rick has also appeared in an episode of Hawaii Five-0, and Drop Dead Diva.

In 2010, Rick released his autobiogra-phy, Late, Late at Night. It entered The New York Times best-seller list at No. 13 and hit the Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly lists as well. Rolling Stone named it one of the top 25 rock autobiographies of all time.

In 2012 Springfi eld’s documentary An Affair of the Heart, which captured the close ties between Springfi eld and his fans, debuted at numerous fi lm fes-

tivals and won special jury awards at the Nashville, Florida, Boston, and Daytona Film Festivals.

In 2013 Springfi eld teamed up with Dave Grohl on Grohl’s multi-faceted passion project Sound City, which en-compassed a documentary (Sound City), an album (Sound City: Real to Reel), and the Sound City Players tour, a string of critically acclaimed shows with fellow documentary subjects including Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, John Fogerty, and Sir Paul McCartney among others. Each artist’s set was backed by Grohl’s hand-picked all-star band. Springfi eld and Grohl co-wrote The Man That Never Was, which has been widely recognised by critics as one of the best songs on the Sound City album.

In 2014 Rick Springfi eld’s fi rst novel, Magnifi cent Vibration will be released and in addition he will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He will hit the road with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo for a multi-city tour of the States – and of course we will see him for his October tour of Australia. With all this and more, Springfi eld shows no signs of slowing down.

Rick Springfi eld will appear at the Palais Theatre Melbourne, Friday Octo-ber 17. Tickets 136 100.

***OPERA Australia kicked off its second show for the 2014 season with a sensa-tional performance of The Turk in Italy last week at the State Theatre.

The Turk in Italy is not often per-formed. This is the fi rst production ever from Opera Australia and in the bicen-tennial year of its premiere, the timing couldn’t be better.

Given that Rossini reputedly wrote the opera in just 18 days, and that he was just 22 at the time, it’s no wonder that the result is such a riotous ball of energy.

The opera starts with budding play-wright Prosdocimo looking for a sto-ryline for his next play. He has a local lush, Fiorella, already bickering with her pompous husband, Geronio, when her head is turned by the latest arrival in

town, a dashing Turk, Selim. How about adding in some wandering gypsies (es-pecially one who has a secret identity), set it all at the seaside (with1950s biki-nis of course), throw a masquerade ball (with anticipated costume disasters), simmer it all in Rossini’s distinctively charming music and it’s a sure-fi re reci-pe for an operatic feast.

Tickets from the Arts Centre 1300 182 183.

***On Friday 16th May Melbourne Central will host the Australian premiere of the highly anticipated fi lm X-Men: Days of Future Past at Hoyts Cinemas, present-ed by TCL.

A major star-studded red carpet event will take place to mark the fi lm’s pre-miere with the stars of the fi lm Hugh Jackman, Fan Bingbing, Peter Dinklage walking the red carpet and greeting fans and media in the shadow of Melbourne Central’s 125-year-old Coops Shot Tower.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntRYE kicked a goal after the siren to steal victory from the jaws of defeat against Red Hill at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday in Nepean League football.Trailing all afternoon, Rye recruit Jay Bruno kicked truly from 30 metres out from goal to give the Demons a 9.14 (68) to 10.6 (66) victory.

Despite centre half forward Aaron Findlay kicking the fi rst goal of the game, at no other stage during the match were the Demons in front.

When Red Hill midfi elder Benny Macguiness kicked a goal at the 15 min-ute mark of the last quarter, it appeared the Hillmen were going to continue their unbeaten run.

However, the undermanned Demons continued to pressure and harass, cause turnovers and hurt the Hillmen running the other way.

Rye went into the game without their coach Ben Holmes, as well as tagger Sam Smith and skipper Rhett Sutton. They were signifi cant outs.

Red Hill on the other hand were fully loaded. They were just cocky.

The Hill were smashed in contested footy and refused to work hard enough to defend. They were also unable to think their way through Rye’s full press.

Red Hill looked timid at times in comparison to Rye, looking for the easy outside ball. They also played cute footy when it was time to attack and put their heads over the footballl.

The Hillmen need to get back to ba-sics, work hard and do the small things that can potentially make them a good side.

Rye were superb.Michael Pudney came into the side,

rucked for the large majority of it and was signifi cant in the win.

Adam Kirkwood was the best player on the ground, setting things up from the back half, Matty Sibberas domi-nated on the wing, Findlay presented all afternoon with his four goals and Jai

Lloyd provided enormous run from half back and through the middle.

Crib Point sits alone at the top of the Nepean League ladder after com-ing from behind to beat Hastings in a thriller.

In front of a massive crowd at Crib Point Recreation Reserve, the Magpies came from nine points down at three quarter time to beat their biggest rivals 15.15 (105) to 14.16 (100). The Pies are the only undefeated team in the compe-tition.

Hastings led by as much as fi ve goals at some stages throughout the match, however, injuries to key players cost them in the end.

Coach Brendan Dunne limped from the fi eld early in the match with what appeared to be a knee injury, before returning and tearing a hamstring. On-baller Mick Haddad also appeared to

hurt his knee and didn’t play out the match.

Like last week against Dromana, the Pies came hard in the fi nal quarter and hit the front late to steal victory.

Crib Point coach Duane Annable said his side “got out of jail” on Saturday.

“We didn’t play well at all and were lucky to win, really,” Annable said.

“We were very fl at at training on Thursday night and it showed during the game at stages on Saturday.

“Injuries to a couple of key Hast-ings players certainly hurt them and we were able to take advantage of that in the end and run over the top of them.

“We’ve been up for a number of weeks now and we’ll need to freshen up and fi nd that form again,” Annable said.

Zac Dekleuver and Dean Warry were dominant for the Magpies while Glenn

Boyd and Jon Flack fi nished with three goals each.

Dale Alanis booted four for the Blues, Justin Berry kicked three and Josh Mul-heron played his best game for the club in a couple of seasons.

Dromana kicked two goals in 90 seconds to come from behind and beat Rosebud at Olympic Oval, 11.8 (74) to 8.17 (65).

Rosebud has now lost three games by under two goals; Rye by four points, Sorrento by seven points and now Dromana by nine points.

Paul Minchington put the Tigers in front with less than two minutes left in the match before Steven Gaertner took a contested mark and converted from 45 metres to give them an unbeatable lead with less than a minute left in the contest.

Prior to this, Rosebud had chances

to ice the match, just like it did against Sorrento the previous week.

Rosebud missed four set shots from less than 45 metres in the opening 15 minutes of the last quarter. They also got out to a 14 point lead at the 17 min-ute mark.

However, kicking with the breeze, the Tigers chipped away and got the job done.

Ash Waterstone was outstanding for the Tigers, as was Minchington, while Christian Ongarello and Dan Guerts were exceptional, especially when the game needed to be won. In a one on three situation at half back in the last quarter, Guerts won a contest which probably won the match for his side.

Pearcedale’s woes continued on Sat-urday, smashed to the tune of 125 points by Sorrento.

Leigh Poholke booted nine goals and Kayle Stringer-Morris four while James Hallahan dominated.

Basil Sibosado was superb for the Panthers with fi ve goals while Pat Cadd worked tirelessly.

Devon Meadows maintained their position in the top fi ve with a 29-point win against Frankston Bombers.

The Panthers kicked away with a fi ve goal second quarter and were never troubled after that, winning 15.12 (102) to 11.7 (73).

Steve McInnes booted six goals from the midfi eld for the Panthers while Heath Black fi nished with four. Chris Doria was outstanding over four quar-ters, as was Clint Walker.

Somerville was made to earn the four points against Tyabb, winning a tight one 14.13 (97) to 10.12 (72).

The Eagles led by 18 points at three quarter time, however, couldn’t shake the Yabbies after that, Tyabb booting eight goals to nine after the fi rst change.

Eagles’ coach David Hirst booted four for the winners while Todd Farrelly fi nished with three.

Brothers Dylan and Jake Ryan were outstanding all afternoon for the Eagles.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntBONBEACH got its season well and truly back on track on Saturday, coming from behind to beat Frankston YCW in Peninsula League football.

After trailing at every change through-out the match, Bonbeach booted 4.3 to one behind in the fi nal quarter to beat the Stonecats 9.12 (66) to 6.11 (47).

It was a vital win for the Sharks. Had they lost the match, they would have slumped to one win from four matches. Two wins and two losses now places them equal fi fth on the ladder.

Coach Steve Capp agreed that it was a very important win.

“It was critical really,” Capp said.“Sitting at 1-3 would have made

things pretty tough for us in a very close competition.

“It is always pleasing to beat Frankston YCW because they are such a great side.

“It took us a while to get going but hopefully now with some players com-ing back into the team, we can build over the next month.”

Bonbeach welcomed six players into the side on Saturday, including their best player Shane McDonald, Anthony Raso,

Travis Johnstone and Rob Horler.“Not many people know about Rob

because he broke his leg in 2012 but he can really play,” Capp said.

“We’ve been a bit light on in terms of our list in the fi rst few weeks and it was nice to get a few of them back.

“It’s hard to be consistent when you are missing some of your best players and you tend to turn the footy over a bit more.

“It was a tough old game in ordinary conditions but to chip away and come from behind to win against a very good side was pleasing,” Capp said.

Shaun Foster booted two goals for the Sharks while Tyabb recruit Nick Water-stone was superb once again, along with Paul Rebeschini and Mark Tyrell.

Ashley Eames was YCW’s best, along with Anthony Totaro, who seems to have made the step from a very good reserves player to senior player.

Karingal has booted two goals in two games of footy in the past fortnight.

They have netted just 20 points in that time while the opposition (YCW and Edithvale) have booted 51.40 (336).

Everyone is aware of the tough task that the Bulls face each week. They lost 16 of their best 22 players in the off sea-

son, as well as another half a dozen play-ers who were on the fringe or reasonable reserves players.

Of the fi ve scoring shots the Bulls had on Saturday against Edithvale, four of them came in the fi rst 20 minutes of the match.

After that, the Eagles kicked 19 goals to one to win 23.20 (158) to 1.4 (10).

There is no question that Stephen Coats has the toughest job in Peninsula League footy.

He has inherited a list that just isn’t capable of being competitive.

However, regardless of the chal-lenges, Coats is prepared to tackle them head-on.

“It is a very tough task at the offi ce at the moment,” Coats said.

“Of the 20 players capable of playing at senior level, we are missing about six of them at the moment. That makes it pretty tough.

“The players coming into the side are having a crack but we just can’t get any consistency from them. Against the good sides, we just can’t sustain things long enough.

“As a footy club, we all just need to keep working hard, from the president down.

“We need to stick fast and rebuild. We’ll be a better club when we come out the other side,” Coats said.

Jarrod Garth booted six goals on Sat-urday for the Eagles while Mark Mullins and Todd Woodbridge were outstanding.

Langwarrin had 33 scoring shots to Chelsea’s 12 on Saturday but could only manage a 76-point win.

The Kangas booted 1.8 in the fi rst quarter and wasted opportunities, how-ever, still managed a 16.17 (113) to 5.7 (37) victory.

Aaron Shaw and Jimmy Johnson kicked four goals each for the winners while Beau Muston fi nished with three. Eighteen-year-old Ash Collins with two goals played his best senior game while Rikki Johnson provided plenty of drive and leadership from the back half.

Curtis Bywater, playing against his old club, played his best game for Chel-sea in two seasons.

Mt Eliza did a major number on Pines, thrashing the red, white and green 20.13 (133) to 9.12 (66).

In only his fourth senior game, Jordan Moncrief booted seven goals for the Redlegs, while Darren Booth enjoyed his change of role from the backline, booting three along with Matty Dunne.

Rohan Heasley, one of the best players in the competition, was best on fi eld for the second week in a row.

Adam Maling and Gideon Symon were the best of the Piners, while Jake Prosser was back to his best in his sec-ond week back.

Mornington came from four points down at three quarter time to snatch an eight point victory against Seaford.

The Tigers have been stiff this season and could have set up a win had they converted better in the opening quarter (3.8 to 1.1).

However, when the game was there to be won, the Doggies’ recruits really stood up, showed leadership and class and got their team over the line.

Dale Nolan fi nished with four goals playing as a key forward and dominat-ed, Michael Gay took control in the ruck and Danny Nolan combined beautifully in the middle with Gay and had a signifi -cant impact.

Dylan Crump and Luke Smith were the best of the Tigers, along with Trae Tohiariki.

By Paulo KennedyIT was a game of two incredible halves on ANZAC Day as the Dolphins and Richmond put on a show to remember for the 3000-strong crowd at Frankston Park.

On a perfect day, the Tigers charged to a 45-point lead late in the second quarter, giving the home team a lesson in how to play the long and narrow Frankston ground.

Richmond repeatedly marched through the centre, kicking short and playing on quickly in the midfi eld before delivering with precision to their forwards.

Former Dolphins Aaron Edwards and Luke Collins were both standouts for the visitors, while the height of Ty Vickery, Ryan Bathie and Liam McBean was causing all sorts of problems up forward.

For the Dolphins, newcomers Tim Harper and Ben Cavarra were providing a much-needed steadying infl uence around the ground, while Pines veteran Luke Potts was rebounding strongly from defence.

But the result appeared a foregone conclusion until a brilliant mark and goal from Damien Garner moments before half-time sparked Frankston, who emerged from half-time a new team.

With Russ Gabriel dominant in the ruck, roved superbly by Shane Hockey and Leigh Kitchin, the home team brought the crowd to life with a fi erce display of tackling and direct football, charging to within 15 points late in the third quarter.

But Vickery answered with a six-pointer from Vickery and Edwards – who kicked 100 goals for the Dolphins in 2006 – showed he still knows where the Frankston Park sticks are with the goal of the day from the boundary.

Trailing by 28 points at the last change the home team refused to give in, Gabriel, Hockey and Kitchin inspirational as the atmosphere turned electric.

Down back the Newman brothers from Mornington – Nic and Josh – were standing fi rm as the Tigers struggled to make any inroads and Frankston rebounded with speed.

Goals to Khan Haretuku and Mike Lourey were followed by narrow misses from Zig Alwan and Jackson Coleman, but the Dolphins crept ever-

closer as they locked the ball in their half.

A clever Cavarra chip just eluded the grasp of Shannon Taylor running into an open goal, but from the ensuing boundary throw-in Harper snapped brilliantly from a Haretuku hit-out to tie the scores 31 minutes into the fi nal term.

Frankston bolted forward from the restart and bottled the ball up 25 metres from goal. Again Haretuku produced some ruck magic, hitting Kitchin on the chest who immediately sent the Sherrin goal-ward.

The crowd held their breath, but a desperate Tiger hand thwarted Frankston’s hopes with a match-saving smother moments before the fi nal siren sounded.

It was a game for the ages and the fi rst of many ANZAC Day clashes to come at Frankston Park. Shane Hockey (Frankston) and Anthony Miles (Richmond) were named the ANZAC Day medallists.

The Dolphins face Williamstown at Frankston Park on Sunday, 11 May.

Chance or coincidence?FRANKSTON and Richmond have met only twice since the old VFA/VFL merged with the AFL Reserves for the 2000 season, and literally nothing has separated them.

In Round 14, 2000 the two teams met at Frankston Park, with the Tigers taking a 42-point lead into half-time before the home side surged home to force a draw.

Last Friday, 5053 days later at the same venue, Richmond led by 45 points late in the second term before Frankston again staged a remarkable fi ghtback which ended in another tie.

INTERLEAGUEBy Toe PuntTHE squads have been announced for the Nepean and Peninsula Football Net-ball Leagues, however, football selec-tors appear to have been short-sighted on their selections.

Rye coach Ben Holmes, Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd and league legend Adam Hunter will coach the Nepean team, while Stephen Ryan (Pines) and Troy Shannon will take control of the Peninsula League team for the second year running.

The Netball panel has been headed-up by Crib Point’s Laura Herrington, while Peninsula netball will be led by Mt Eli-za’s Samantha Clarke.

CRIB POINT FCBy Hoos VerstaapenCRIB Point’s strong start to the season continued with a nail biting 5-point win over local rivals Hastings in a great game of footy on Saturday.

A massive Crib Point crowd were treated to a high quality match that saw the Magpies trail for most of the day only to pinch the lead with several min-utes to spare and manage to hold on to remain the only undefeated team in the Nepean league.

Hastings looked to have the better of the Pies for most of the day but despite leading for most of the day they were unable to put the game away despite threatening to do so on several occa-sions throughout.

Crib Point cult hero Jonathan Flack kicked the goal that put the Pies in front

and once they hit the lead they managed to lock the ball in the forward line to hang on for the win.

Flack kicked 3, Boyd added 3 in the forward half but it was Dekluever, Bromley, and Condick in the back half of the ground that really set the win up.

Despite being behind most of the day the Magpies continued to chip away at their opponents and never gave in and when the tide did eventually turn Crib were close enough to mount a serious challenge.

Whilst the result was a great one for Crib Point and disappointing for the Hastings, the game was a cracker and a great advertisement for local football. There was healthy banter between the two sides, it was a great social day with many players past and present looking on, and the return game will certainly be one to look forward to for both clubs.

Pies down Blues... justThe reserves slipped to 1-3 with a

21-point loss to Hastings in the mid-day game. It was a scrappy affair but Hastings proved to be a bit slicker over the four quarters to beat a Crib Point side that showed glimpses of good footy but were unable to play the solid four quarters needed to win games of footy on a consistent basis. The best is good enough, but the prob-lem is the best is not being trotted out consistently enough.

The under 18s were again beaten well but continue to show they are a team improving week to week and will eventually breakthrough for a win soon.

Rivalry kicks on: Crib Point maintained its unbeaten start to the season by edging out Hastings by 5 points in their round 4 game. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

MOTORING

MITSUBISHI’S world-fi rst plug-in hybrid SUV, the Outlander PHEV, has put sustainable motoring back on the agenda of more Australian drivers when it arrives in Australia in the wake of its arrival in March this year.

The Outlander PHEV has a 5-star Green Vehicle Guide rating thanks to its offi cial fuel consumption of 1.9 litres/100km and 52 kilometre pure electric range.

The Outlander PHEV is powered by Mitsubishi’s ground breaking and highly effi cient electric vehicle system. It consists of twin 60kW electric motors front and rear, a 12kWh lithium ion drive battery, 70kW output generator, lightweight front transaxle assembly and effi cient 87kW 2.0 litre four-cylinder MIVEC petrol engine to signifi cantly extend Outlander PHEV’s driving range.

The petrol engine, which is tuned to run at optimum effi ciency, sup-ports the electric drivetrain system by recharging the drive battery and supplementing battery power in par-ticular driving conditions.

The Outlander PHEV is able to achieve ultra-low fuel consumption and just 44g/km of CO2 emissions by maximising the best attributes of the combined internal combustion engine and electric vehicle systems. This is delivered in three distinct modes – EV Drive Mode, Series and Parallel Modes – that operate seam-lessly without any intervention from the driver.

Fuel economy expert and for-mer Australian rally champion Ed

Ordynski said Mitsubishi’s PHEV technology is a clever, seamless system that automatically selects the right driving mode to optimise available electric and petrol power and maximise effi ciency and driving range.

“Mitsubishi Outlander’s petrol electric PHEV system is a clever way to reduce fuel consumption and extend a vehicle’s driving range. Whether driving in Parallel or Series

Mode, the PHEV system is tuned to optimise fuel effi ciency, while its 52-kilometre electric range is very achievable and readily extended with thoughtful driving,” he said.

“Once the PHEV’s battery power reaches low levels, it’s not simply running on petrol for the rest of the journey.

“Instead, the petrol engine recharges the batteries rapidly and effi ciently, allowing the PHEV to

resume driving on full electric power to signifi cantly extend the percent-age of driving in the most effi cient electric mode.

“The Outlander PHEV’s ability to automatically select multiple modes of operation all happen seam-lessly without the driver having to intervene, allowing them to focus on driving in a smooth and effi cient manner while letting the technology take care of itself.”

“It allows Outlander PHEV to have a very long range and to be remark-ably effi cient on hills and in country driving.

“But unlike internal combustion engine-powered cars and SUVs, PHEV can also return its best fi gures in stop-start, city and suburban driv-ing where the on-board recharging and regenerative braking technology is quite extraordinary in maximizing effi ciency.”
