MORNINGTON Toy Library is celebrating a big birthday next week – 25 years of lending funny, colourful, interesting and creative toys to boys and girls from its Albert St premises.

Staff members are planning an open day on Saturday 6 September to mark the occasion. Councillors Bev Columb, Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon will be there from 9.30-11.30am, with speeches and a “cutting of the cake” at 11. There will be balloons, giveaways and activities for the children.

The toy library began in 1982 and operated from the Community Contact House in Albert St and then from the children's section of Morning-ton Library before moving to Albert St in 1989. From there it has been able to add to its toy collection considerably.

The toy library provides a wide variety of toys, games and puzzles to more than 100 fami-lies, grandparents, family day carers and groups each year and is a favourite haunt for those aged six months to nine years.

The toy library opens 9.30-11.30am Saturday, 1-3pm Monday and 9.30am-12.30pm Wednes-day.Toy riders: Hudson, Molly, Marion and Mitchell with toy library staff Mary, Jude and Andrew Park. Picture: Yanni

A GROUP of Mornington Peninsula churches has forged an alliance with community support organisations to take a united stand against family vio-lence and other pressing social issues.

Alarmed by the growing prevalence of domestic violence within the com-munity, especially in the wake of the shocking murder of Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty by his father earlier this year, church and community leaders agreed a united response was required.

The multi-denominational partner-ship led to the recent foundation of Peninsula Voice, a non-profi t commu-nity organisation dedicated to tackling pressing social issues and building

greater community cohesion.Peninsula Voice is now calling on

the broader community to come to-gether and help tackle “the big issues” that threaten our safety, prosperity and well-being.

The initial focus of the collective ef-fort is family violence, with the fi rst in an ongoing series of public forums to held next month in Mornington.

Police Commissioner Ken Lay has already thrown his support behind the initiative and will address the forum at Peninsula Community Theatre on 16 September as one of a number of high-profi le speakers.

Joining him will be Rosie Batty, the mother of Luke, who has won nation-wide admiration and acclaim for her

efforts to raise awareness of domestic violence and the need for systemic re-form in the treatment and protection of victims.

Other confi rmed participants include Domestic Violence Victoria chief ex-ecutive Fiona McCormack, and the acting head of Men’s Referral Service and No To Violence, Rodney Vlais.

Peninsula Voice chairman Peter Orton said the organisation aimed to engage the skills and resources of the broader community to tackle major social issues that haven’t received ad-equate attention from traditional main-stream outlets such as the media and politicians.

Other issues set to be addressed in community forums include grow-

ing inequality and poverty within the community, the treatment of asylum seekers, the drug scourge, and chronic youth unemployment.

The forums will provide an oppor-tunity for the community to come to-gether and “engage in a conversation on topics which the 24-hour media cir-cus simply does not address with any depth”, Mr Orton said.

“Peninsula Voice believes the qual-ity and strength of a community can be measured by how it cares for and sup-ports its most vulnerable members,” he said.

“Accordingly, these public forums are designed to build social capital as a means of helping the community, as a whole, better cope with life’s varied

challenges.”The forums would provide “evi-

dence-based information, personal testimony, open discussion, and access to appropriate agencies on relevant topics within the broader community”.

Invitations for upcoming forums would be extended to state, national and internationally recognised speak-ers from diverse backgrounds, to pre-sent their professional research and experience in order to promote con-versation and engagement on impor-tant community development series.

“The topics will be for the benefi t of community education, awareness, and advocacy on public policy, social jus-tice, ethics, wellbeing and health in all its forms,” Mr Orton said.

POLICE are hunting a gang of armed bandits following a spate of holdups targeting service stations across bay-side and peninsula suburbs.

At least fi ve service stations have been held up at knife point so far this month and police fear the gang of three will strike again unless caught.

Frankston armed robbery squad detec-tives are investigating the crime spree, which began with the armed holdup of a service on Thompsons Road in Patter-son Lakes on Sunday 3 August.

Two balaclava clad men entered the sales area of the Caltex petrol station about 8.30pm. One of the men jumped the counter and demanded cash and cigarettes while the second man threatened the attendant with a knife.

The men fl ed to an awaiting car that is thought to have been driven by a third man.

Three days later, a United service station in Marine Parade, Hastings, was robbed.

On this occasion, three men all wearing balaclavas stormed into the sales area about 7pm, with two jump-ing the counter and threatening the at-tendant with knives before removing cigarettes and cash.

Two days later, on 8 August, a service station in Black Rock was robbed by three men fi tting the same description.

The trio entered the 7 Eleven store in Balcombe Rd about 10.40pm, forc-ing the attendant to open a door to the console area where they again stole cigarettes and cash.

On Wednesday 13 August, two bal-

aclava-clad bandits stormed into the United service station at the corner of Stony Point Rd and Disney St about 8.15pm. One of the men armed with a large knife jumped the counter and threatened sales attendant.

The second man entered the both via an unlocked side door and held a knife to the back of the attendant, telling him: “We won’t hurt you, just give us all the cash and smokes.”

They then opened the cash regis-ter and removed money before help-ing themselves to a large quantity of cigarettes. They fl ed to an awaiting car which then sped away.

The same service station was bur-gled fi ve days later when thieves smashed their way through a side wall, however, police said it was not known if the two incidents were related but that the perpetrators must have been famil-iar with the shop to have known how to break in.

On Sunday 17 August, two men

held up a service station in Davey St, Frankston, just before 9pm.

Again, the console operator was threatened with knives before cash and cigarettes were stolen.

Police believe the same vehicle was used in each of the armed robberies and are appealing for public assistance to help track down it down.

The vehicle, similar to the one pic-tured above, is described as a grey or silver early model Holden Commo-dore sedan, possibly a VN or similar.

Detective Sergeant Al Hanson from the Frankston armed robbery unit said a similar Holden Commodore aban-doned earlier this month on Frankston-Flinders Rd near the Western Port Hwy intersection had been discounted as the vehicle in question.

Anyone with any information re-garding the vehicle is asked to call Frankston crime investigation unit on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A WATER police crew on patrol in Port Phillip received a pleasant surprise last Friday when a humpback whale acquainted itself with their boat.

Police were called to the coast of Mornington on Friday afternoon to ensure the safety of a whale following its sighting by members of the public.

However, police said the whale seemed to have taken a fancy to their boat, coming up alongside them just metres away.

“Our members stopped a few hun-dred metres away as to not disturb the whale,” Senior Sergeant Lachlan Hold-ing said. “They turned their engines off to minimise noise and vibrations and that is when the whale swam over.

“The whale was surfacing for about 30 seconds every fi ve minutes. It was

rolling over onto its back. We think it may have confused our boat with another whale and that is why it was being so friendly.”

The whale, which is believed to have been migrating north for the mating season, was joined by dolphins and seals in a nearby area.

Senior Sergeant Holding said that the display of affection from the whale was a great moment on the job, however he would not encourage members of the public to seek out a similar experience.

“There are strict regulations around how close boats and jet skis can get to marine life. It is for the safety of both the people and the animals,” he said.

Recreational boats must stay 200m away from whales and 100m from dolphins.

AN allegedly heavily intoxicated Bax-ter man had his car seized by police after hitting speeds of more than 150km/h on Peninsula Link last week.

A Ford Falcon was spotted by police allegedly weaving in and out of traffi c while speeding along the freeway at Mt Martha about 7.30pm on Tuesday.

Rosebud highway patrol police pursued the car after clocking it at 151 km/h in a 100km/h zone.

The 40-year-old allegedly attempted to speed away from police before be-ing stopped.

He was taken back to Rosebud po-lice station where he returned a blood alcohol reading of .154 per cent.

His vehicle was impounded under the hoon legislation and he is ex-pected to be charged with a range of offences including conduct endanger-ing life and resisting arrest. TWO man were arrested last week over a spate of burglaries across Frankston, Mt Eliza and Mornington.

Police said the 26 and 29 year-old men had been charged in connec-tion with two burglaries in Frankston South and Mt Eliza after jewellery was found in their car when they were questioned on 19 August.

They are now being investigated over at least 10 other burglaries com-mitted in the area over the past month.

Sculpture approved, in roundabout waySculpture approved, in roundabout wayAFTER more than three years of highly charged debate, the Flinders sculpture proposal has fi nally been given the go ahead – in the short term at least.

Mornington Peninsula Shire council-lors last week voted to approve the erection of a 4 metre tall bronze sculp-ture by internationally renowned local artist Andrew Rogers on the rounda-bout at the intersection of Cook and Wood streets, as had been proposed by a sub-committee of the Flinders Com-munity Association.

However, debate over the contentious sculpture seems certain to continue with councillors’ approval being made on the proviso that the community be

consulted again on its long-term future in two years’ time.

A forward planning committee meet-ing was held at Flinders Town Hall on 28 July during which arguments for and against the sculpture proposal were presented. Council then received 181 written submissions, 90 in support and 91 against.

Opponents of the proposal contended that the process of selection for both the sculpture and location had not determined by an “open community process” and that the association and/or sub-committee did not have the authority to determine a mat-ter of such community impact.

They also argued the process of

selection of the sculpture should have been competitive, that the sculpture was not unique or relevant to the town-ship, and the location was not safe or suitable.

The council was urged to reject the proposal on the basis that the issue had divided the township and would continue to cause “ongoing community upset”.

But councillors were told the vast ma-jority of Flinders residents – more than 90 per cent – had expressed no opinion on the sculpture. As such, councillors voted six to three in favour, subject to a “future review of community ac-ceptance” within two years of the last Monday’s council meeting.

Dear Karen,

I found the perfect solution for

mum and dad. It’s called supportive

living and is unique in Victoria. It

gives the option that allows people

to choose their own care in a place

and at a time that’s both convenient

It Sounds Silly is a contemporary dance work that considers the way we see the world as children, how we understand the operations and functions of the body, machines and the wider universe.

It’s presented by Chunky Move and Frankston Arts Centre and directed and choreographed by Adam Wheeler.

Through a collage of dance, sound and video, Chunky Move and the youth of Frankston explore childhood memories - such as the fi rst time we remember hurting ourselves or what we feared and what we dreamed we would be when we grew up.

See It Sounds Silly at the Wells St Plaza, Frankston, 6.30-8pm Friday. The free show takes 30 minutes and is rated G. If the weather is wet organisers say the show will be moved to Saturday.

FRANKSTON’S fi rst ever green army squads will begin active duty next month as the federal government’s much-hyped “direct action” envi-ronmental program swings into action.

Four teams of ten green army recruits selected from the ranks of unemployed youths will begin work in September on environmental projects in Seaford, Langwarrin and Mt Eliza, while a further two projects will begin in the near future at Frankston and Seaford-Edithvale wetlands.

The initial green army programs include clean up works along Kananook Creek, rejuvenation of Boggy Creek and Reserve in Langwarrin and fi re protection, fuel management and bush track management at Mt Eliza, while the Frankston bushland weed and fi re management project and Seaford-Edithvale wetlands support project will begin later this year.

Five national employment providers will manage the green army workforce, which is scheduled to grow to 15,000 strong by 2018, while councils, Landcare groups and commu-nity based environmental groups will oversee work on the ground as “sponsors”.

Federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson said the electorate would be one of the fi rst in the country to host green army projects and as such would serve as a role model for others to follow.

“The Green Army will help to clean up Kananook Creek around Seaford and Frankston, support conservation work at Seaford wetlands and weed and fuel reduction in bushland re-serves in Frankston, Langwarrin and Mt Eliza,” Mr Billson said.

“They will undertake activities on fi ve lin-ear creek line reserves through Mount Eliza to reduce woody and ground fl ora weeds, protect key trees from excessive possum browsing, in-crease seed bank diversity and quantity, propa-gate and plant seedlings, develop interpretive

Green army ready to rollGreen army ready to rolltrails and reduce fi re risk.” The $525 million green army project, which a centrepiece of the Coalition's environmental agenda, aims to en-courage “practical grassroots action to support local environment and heritage conservation projects”.

It aims to provide young people aged 17-24 years an opportunity to gain training and expe-rience in environmental and heritage conserva-tion fi elds.

Mr Billson said the experience would enable participants to “explore careers in conservation management, while participating in projects that generate real benefi ts for the Australian en-vironment”.

“Participants will receive a green army allow-ance for the duration of their project … and will be supported to obtain certifi cate I or II qualifi -cations or nationally endorsed skills set to help them prepare for the workforce or improve their career opportunities.”

TIM Wood, navy commander, Queens Counsel, retired County Court judge, has won the Red Hill ward byelection.

When counting ended on Saturday night Mr Wood had nearly 55 per cent of eligible votes after preferences were distributed from the record 17 candidates seeking a seat on Morning-ton Peninsula Shire Council.

On Sunday he told The News he wanted to hear the views and repre-sent all community groups within the ward – “I’ve identifi ed more than 20 already”.

Mr Wood said he was ready to begin duties as a councillor this week, de-spite indications that the shire “man-agement” wanted him fi rst to undergo an induction period.

“I don’t there’s anything they can tell me about meetings and procedures or councillor conduct,” he said, hold-ing up various shire publications while sitting at the dining table of his Shore-ham home.

Mr Wood was ready to take his own Bible to Monday’s declaration of the poll at the shire’s Rosebud offi ces to show CEO Michael Kennedy that he was ready to take the oath of offi ce.

While stressing that he wanted to be “collegiate” with his fellow council-lors, Mr Wood said it was obvious Red Hill ward had “been without a voice” both before and since the May resigna-tion of former councillor Frank Martin.

He was ready to participate in Monday night’s meeting so that Red Hill’s 12,500 ratepayers were not denied a voice “for another two weeks”.

That voice seems likely be added to the minority of councillors speak-ing out against the shire spending $40 million or more on the Southern Pen-insula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud.

A “believer” in community rec-reational facilities, Mr Wood said he “can’t see the justifi cation in spend-ing $40 million when there are other things calling out for attention”.

“SPA should be reviewed compre-hensively,” he said. The shire last week added four sets of architects’ drawings for the SPA to its website. (See Page 12).

Mr Wood said the issue most men-tioned by residents during his election campaign had been “the standard of roads”.

“It’s the most complained about is-sue,” he said.

“But, overridingly, people are con-cerned about not being listened to. They’re peed off.”

Unable to attend the count because of a previous speaking engagement at the naval association sub-branch in Frankston, Mr Wood said three peo-ple at the meeting approached him – “knowing I was a candidate” – saying

things were “crook” at council.“Being a councillor is a big job and I

have no illusions I can do it all by my-self without people telling me of their concerns,” Mr Wood said.

“I will hear their concerns and speak to other councillors. I don’t want to be seen as a prisoner to one particular group [within council].”

Mr Wood likened the fi nding of con-sensus within council to the process followed by a jury towards making a unanimous decision.

A former naval commodore, Mr Wood’s election means there are now two councillors with legal back-grounds (Cr Hugh Fraser is a barris-ter) and two councillors with naval backgrounds (Cr David Garnock was a captain).

Mr Wood is also no stranger to plan-ning issues, having specialised in planning and construction while a bar-rister and helping with the formation of VCAT (Victorian Civil and Admin-istrative Tribunal) in 1988, where he remained until 2001.

He joined the Royal Australian Navy as a lawyer for four years in 1970 and remains active in the Naval Reserve. “There’s an association motto, ̔Once navy, always navy’,” he says. In 2006 he was appointed Deputy Judge Advo-cate General Navy, a position he held for two and a half years.

While no longer able to hand out sen-tences, the former judge turned council-lor is sure to have a judicious approach to arguments being put forward by his fellow councillors, and constituents.

ORGANISERS of last weekend’s Devilbend fun run have been left scratching their heads fol-lowing the disappearance of a portaloo shortly before the start of the charity event.

Eight portable toilets were dropped off at various locations along the course of the fun run at Devilbend Natural Features Reserve on Satur-day ahead of the event the next morning.

But when Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club members organising the charity event ar-rived around 6am on Sunday, one of the toilets was missing.

Organiser Richard “Dozer” Does said the remote location of the event within the nature reserve made the apparent theft of the portaloo all the more puzzling.

“No one seems to have ever heard of anyone ever stealing a portaloo ever before; it really beggars belief,” Mr Does said.

“It’s a real mongrel act. We’re a not-for-profi t group and this was a charity event, so you couldn’t get much lower than that, not to men-tion the fact we’re talking about a toilet.”

Mornington police confi rmed they were inves-tigating the incident, but had no leads to date

Devil’s test: Puffi ng, panting runners brought Devilbend Reserve alive on Sunday at Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club’s annual fundraiser. About 500 athletes contested a half marathon, fi ve and 10km events – and other novelty races – with proceeds raised on the devil-theme day going to a host of worthy causes. Picture Andrew Hurst

TOM Macauley raised money for a cause dear to his heart at the Devilbend Fun Run on Sunday. It will go towards helping his mum, Annitta, who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Tom,10, was one of 500 athletes competing at the annual fundraiser organised by the Morning-ton Peninsula Athletics Club.

Runners tackled cross country races over 5, 10 and 21.1 kilometres – a half marathon – at the Devilbend Natural Features Reserve, Graydens Rd, Tuerong to raise money for worthwhile projects.

In keeping with the “devil” theme, a devil parade

was held before the start of racing, with the best 10 devil lookalikes selected. Those who com-pleted their event in costume had their entry fees refunded.

Winners of the major races were: half marathon (men) Dion Finocchiaro 73 minutes; women Kylie Sprague, 91 minutes. 10km: Lachlan Aspinall 37 minutes, Jodie Kerr 42 minutes; 5km Shane Strahan 19.19, Kailyn O’Connor 20.54. They each received a trophy and sponsor’s prize.

Organiser Richard Does hadn’t counted all the money raised by Monday morning, but he thinks

it will probably be the same as last year’s $8000. “It’s a great little community event that we hold in the fi rst week of August,” he said.

Those taking part can nominate a worthwhile charity – just like Tom did – with other benefi ciar-ies including the Lions Club and Men’s Shed.

The scenic picnic area and surrounding reserves are ideal for cross country runs and for raising money for the club, which competes in regular Athletics Victoria events and weekend club racing.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council invites your feedback and comments on the Draft Beleura Hill Neighbourhood Character Study, Draft Design Guidelines and draft Planning Scheme provisions which are now on public exhibition.

The Character Study has been developed in response to community concern regarding the impact of over-development on the existing neighbourhood character and place values of Beleura Hill. The Study has provided advice on the drafting of general design guidelines for new development within the study area and specific guidelines for each of the six precincts shown on the adjoining map.

The six precincts included in the study area are:

Precinct 1 – The Esplanade

Precinct 2 – Creek Precinct

Precinct 3 – Beleura House

Precinct 4 – Beleura Hill Road (South)

Precinct 5 – South East, South West and North West Precincts

Precinct 6 – North East Precinct.

The guidelines in conjunction with other provisions of the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme, will be used to assess planning permit applications. The study also forms the basis for draft planning scheme provisions which are also being exhibited for comment before Council decides whether to pursue a formal planning scheme amendment.

You may view the Study, the draft Design Guidelines, and draft planning scheme provisions online at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/whats_on/Your_Say/Draft_Beleura_Hill_Neighbourhood_ Character_Study or in hard copy at the Shire’s Customer Service Centres: 21 Marine Parade, Hastings; 2 Queen Street, Mornington; 90 Besgrove Street, Rosebud.

Net gain for 7000 more homesNet gain for 7000 more homesMORE than 7000 homes across the Frankston region will soon be able to access high-speed fi bre optic internet services through the National Broadband Network following the commence-ment of “build preparation works”.

Pre-construction work such as clearing exist-ing telecommunications pits began last week in a number of new locations to prepare the way for the laying of fi bre optic cables and construction of central “nodes” from which individual resi-dences and businesses will be connected.

The latest works are focussed on suburbs in the city’s east on either side of Cranbourne Rd, including Langwarrin, Langwarrin South and Frankston South, and Mt Eliza.

An adjoining area of Karingal will be the fi rst neighbourhood within the muninicipalty to be connected to the NBN, with fi bre optic cables go-ing into the ground last month.

The latest works takes the total number of ad-dresses within the Dunkley electorate on course for connection to the NBN by the end of the year to more than 15,000.

A timetable for the rest of Frankston, includ-ing the city centre, and Mornington Peninsula are yet to be revealed after the Coalition government pulled the plug on Labor’s NBN plans pending a “comprehensive review” of costs, areas of cover-age and modes of delivery.

Federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson said the latest works represented an important milestone for the area and provided greater cer-tainty for homes and businesses.

“The message is clear – superfast broadband is on its way,” Mr Billson said.

He said build preparation sites would be estab-lished for around 2500 premises in Langwarrin, 2100 in Langwarrin South and 2600 in Frankston South and Mt Eliza.

“Work will be visible in streets as pre-con-struction activity begins, such as the clearing of Telstra’s pits and ducts, before the fi bre-to-the-premises network is built.

“This is great news for the electorate with con-struction or build preparation work underway to connect more than 15,100 premises across Frankston, Langwarrin and Langwarrin South.”

Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who visited Frankston last month to inspect pro-gress on the NBN, said the latest build prepara-tion works demonstrated the government’s com-mitment to getting the rollout “back on track”.

The previous federal Labor government com-mitted to providing high-speed internet to every home within the Frankston and Mornington Pen-insula region via direct connection to the fi bre optic network.

However, the Coalition said ALP plans were hazy, unrealistic and unfeasible and ordered a full re-evaluation of internet options.

That view was backed up an independent audit of the NBN conducted by former Telstra director and Productivity Commission chief Bill Scales, who said the ALP plan was “rushed, chaotic and inadequate” and lacked an adequate business case and cost-benefi t analysis. While details of the Coalition’s new NBN plan for Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula aren’t due to be released until later this year, Mr Turnbull has made clear that the ALP’s “fi bre to the home” model was not economically viable and that “a range of technologies” such as wireless broad-band and continued use of aging copper lines would be utilised.

To reign the “exorbitant” cost of connecting homes directly to the fi bre optic network, especial-ly in regional and sparsely population areas, the Coalition has implemented a “fi bre to the node” model under which fi bre optic cables are laid to central hubs and existing copper lines continue to provide connection to individual addresses.

The Coalition’s NBN policy has been criticised in many quarters and by the government’s own estimates will deliver internet speeds of only about one quarter that promised by a full fi bre to the home option.

But Mr Turnbull said the Coalition would de-liver high speed internet to the peninsula far sooner – and cheaper – than the ALP plan, with connection promised by the end of 2016 rather than the 2022.

He said the Coalition had prioritised NBN roll-out to areas most in need such as Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, which has been dogged by woeful internet and mobile phone access.

“The Government will continue to look at ways to make the NBN faster and more affordable than the previous government's plan and will work with the private sector to ensure effi cient delivery and rollout,” Mr Turnbull said.

Mr Billson said the ALP’s inadequate planning had forced the Coalition to go back to the drawing board to re-evaluate the best broadband option for the peninsula region.

He said Labor had committed to the NBN pro-ject without any real sense of how long it would take, how much it would cost or whether a gov-ernment-owned monopoly was “up to the job of getting it done”.

“Since entering government, the Coalition has embarked on a series of important reforms to en-sure that mistakes like those made by Labor are not repeated,” Mr Billson said.

“A policy audit has found Labor built their NBN policy on a series of catastrophic failures. Labor refused to do their homework and bullied the public service and industry into accepting its fl awed answers.”

The Coalition was conducting a strategic review of the “true costs” and timeframe of the project, as well as a cost-benefi t analysis, the details of which will be released in the September 2014 quarter.

100% of your fi re levy goes to our fi re servicesLast year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the

Victorian Bushfi res Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fi re services,

not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession.

100 per cent of the fi re levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and

Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes fi refi ghters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective

clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fi re stations and 2,300 trucks.

Each year, Victoria’s fi refi ghters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and

grass fi res, fi res in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fi re levy.

FOUR Mt Eliza Secondary College students took part in the Magic Moments Leadership pro-gram, thanks to sponsorship from the Bendigo Community Bank and Mt Eliza Lions.

This introduced them to the rewards of leader-ship and community activities, Lion Norm Minton said.

Students Keylia, Paris, Jess and Remmie took part in a business summit at Kyneton alongside 90 students from other regions. They joined in a Lions-meet-Lions meeting to share their experi-ences.

The students said the summit helped them gain self-confi dence and self-awareness in a supportive environment, and make new friends and contacts. “We got to formulate our dreams and see how they can be achieved, such as seeing a vision with a wider outlook,” Keylia said. “We saw how so many people contribute to individuals, their communities and the world.”

The students presented their Where-to-Now plans: Remmie’s suggested funding a youth mentor to go overseas and establish education systems in poor areas. Paris wants to develop a bullying awareness group and website spon-sored by Bendigo Bank. Keylia said she would coordinate a seniors’ morning and afternoon tea project at the Mt Eliza Community Centre with the help of 23 Year 9 and 10 students.

The students have formulated a Give Life Live Life organ donation campaign, which is being coordinated by Paris and assisted by Remmie and 19 Year 9 and 10 students.

They will promote the campaign locally, including having a booth at the regular Farmers Market serving free tea and coffee. This cam-paign is timely, as recent publicity has highlight-ed Australia as being “extremely successful” with transplant technology but having the lowest number of donors.

Students are hoping to fund this campaign with sponsorship from local business, Lions and Rotary clubs.

AS part of National Book Week, Rosebud Secondary College students were able to “borrow” people from their library last week.

Among those with interesting life stories invited to come in and act as living books were former First Lady of East Timor, Kirsty Sword Gusmao; founder and managing director of the Thin Green Line Foundation, Sean Willmore; police dispatcher, Rachel Murray; paraplegic world traveller and teacher, Emily Costello; musi-cian, Hannes Lackmann; Vietnam veteran, Mark Kinder; environmental-ist and owner of Polperro Dolphin Swims, Judy Muir; and police crime scene specialist, Grant Watkins.

The college’s new principal, Andrew Nicholls, spoke to students about his former life as a champion bike racer.

Before the living books arrived students read about them and chose who they would like to “borrow” for their 25-minute session.

Teacher librarian Samantha Jeacle admits to “stealing” the idea, with the fi rst living library being held in Denmark in 2000. Since then there have been thousands of similar events held around the world.

It was the third time the living library has been held at Rosebud.

Thinking smart in the sunThinking smart in the sunAN “outstanding application” demonstrating a commitment to SunSmart policies and practices has made Mornington Secondary College one of only 11 secondary schools across Victoria to receive a $25,000 grant for shade provision. The grant comes through the Cancer Council Australia’s eftpos Giveback program. It will help protect young people’s skin from UV dam-age during school hours.

“Skin cancer is one of the most preventable can-cers,” principal Sarah Burns said. “As a school we can play a signifi cant role in reducing our students’ lifetime risk of developing the disease.

“As our student population grows, we’re more aware than ever of the need to create a shade-friendly out-door environment for our school community.”

The need for the measures was emphasised by SunSmart Youth & Advocacy co-ordinator Jane Hill: “Two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime, with Australian teenagers hav-ing the highest incidence of melanoma in the world, compared to adolescents in other countries.

“School hours fall within high UV periods, which is why SunSmart works with Victorian secondary schools to establish healthy UV policies and prac-tices that protect students, staff and the wider school community. Thanks to the eftpos grant, 11 Victorian secondary schools will be able to provide shaded outdoor learning spaces to reduce their students’ future skin cancer risk.

“eftpos made the funding available through its Give-back program, which encouraged us to support the cause by choosing CHQ or SAV at the checkout in the lead-up to Christmas last year.

eftpos managing director Bruce Mansfi eld said: “eftpos Australia is delighted to have been able to sup-port Cancer Council’s Shade for Secondary Schools Program, helping to provide vital shade to secondary schools across Australia.

“Thanks to the millions of Australians who support eftpos by pressing CHQ or SAV at the checkout, we were able to donate $1 million to Cancer Council for this great shade program."

Aquatic centre designs unveiled Aquatic centre designs unveiled THE shire council is calling on peninsula resi-dents to have their say on the preferred design for the $34 million Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

The aquatic centre is planned for the Rose-bud foreshore and will feature a 25 metre pool, warm water program pool, leisure pools, aqua play area, sauna, gym, and café.

The SPA centre will also incorporate Rosebud Memorial Hall’s community meeting spaces.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said four ar-chitects had been selected to work on a council design brief for the aquatic centre, with each concept refl ecting the council’s “commitment to design excellence, innovation and environmen-tal sustainability”.

Feedback from the public will help inform a judging panel, which will provide a report to council at the end of the public exhibition period in September. Councillors will vote on the fi nal design in October.

Designs can be viewed at the municipal of-fi ces. Comments and ideas can be shared at: www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/SPA

Final phase: Shire mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, unveils the four designs drawn up for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, which are now on public display. The community is being invited to help select the winning design.

Prostate supportProstate supportTHE Mornington Peninsula will be one of 14 locations across the country to receive a specialist prostate cancer nurse to provide support for patients, their families and carers.

This will result in improved access to multidisciplinary specialists and services, continuity of care for pros-tate cancer patients throughout their cancer journey, and coordination of care from a prostate cancer diagnosis onwards.

MP for Dunkley Bruce Billson said prostate cancer nurses were specially trained, registered nurses who would provide information, care and support to men with prostate cancer and their families and carers, within a multidis-ciplinary health care team.

“They form a crucial central point of contact for patients, their families and carers by coordinating access to care and services such as physiothera-py and counselling,” he said.

Minister for Health Peter Dutton said the government had committed $6.2 million to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia up until 2017 to select sites, oversee training and fund the placement of the new posi-tions.

“The fi ve year relative survival rate of 92 per cent for prostate cancer means there is a large group of men who have been diagnosed and treated, who are now either living with prostate cancer or who have survived treatment and its side effects,” Mr Dutton said.

“Increasing the number of specialist prostate cancer nurses means more men will have access to nurses, who will provide vital information, care, and practical and emotional support to men diagnosed with prostate can-cer, their families and carers.

Spring intoSpring intoSundays atSundays atthe librariesthe librariesTHE shire’s libraries will open on Sundays this spring from 1-5pm.

The new opening times follow a community survey which found that 70 per cent of the 6000 respondents would like libraries to open on Sundays.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said she was delighted to announce the extended opening hours. “This is a fabulous new initiative. We’re so pleased to be able to open our libraries on Sundays which will bring seven-day-a-week access to everything they have to offer.

“Our libraries are a great hub of resources, with everything from books, DVDs, and CDs to com-puters and free internet access.

“A full ‘Spring into Sundays’ program will include music performances and other events starting soon – so there’s plenty of reasons to visit on a Sunday this spring!”

Library branches in Hastings, Mornington, Rosebud and Somer-ville will open on Sundays from 1-5pm from 14 September to 30 November.

CHELSEA has been selected as the site of the country’s fi rst shellfi sh reef resto-ration project under a ground-breaking partnership between the state govern-ment and one of the world's largest con-servation groups.

The Nature Conservancy has joined forces with the Department of Environ-ment and Primary Industries in a three-year project to identify the most effective means of resurrecting decimated shell-fi sh colonies within Port Phillip.

Colonies of shellfi sh such as muscles, oysters and scollops are recognised as a critical element in bay health, providing a vital habitat and food source for a wide spectrum of marine life while also acting as natural fi ltration system to improve water quality.

But decades of destructive practices such as trawl fi shing, dredging and pollu-tion have all but wiped out Port Phillip’s most signifi cant shellfi sh beds, with ma-rine scientists declaring the bay’s reefs to be “functionally extinct”.

Agriculture and Food Security Min-ister Peter Walsh said reversing the de-struction of shellfi sh reefs was a critical component in improving the health of the bay and rebuild fi sh stocks.

He unveiled details of the ambitious reef restoration project last Saturday, re-vealing Chelsea, Geelong and Hobsons Bay had been selected for a pilot study in which specially bred oysters would be used to restock depleted beds.

“The pilot project will use native fl at oysters raised at the Department of Environment and Primary Industries’ Queenscliff hatchery to re-establish shellfi sh presence on reefs in the bay, and is expected to signifi cantly improve fi sh habitat and recreational fi shing op-portunities,” Mr Walsh said.

Bay reefs being restoredBay reefs being restored

“While this is the fi rst Australian reef restoration effort, the project will test a range of reef restoration methods based on successful overseas experiences.”

The Nature Conservancy will contrib-ute $150,000 while the state will provide $120,000 from the Coalition’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative.

Nature Conservancy director of con-servation Dr James Fitzsimons said shellfi sh reefs were the most threatened marine habitat on earth, with 85 per cent of oyster reefs having been completely lost.

Efforts to restore shellfi sh reefs would signifi cantly boost fi sh numbers, create more clean water and increase recrea-

tional fi shing opportunities, he said.“Around the world, considerable pro-

gress is being made to restore estuarine reefs that increase biodiversity, improve fi shery productivity and fi lter the wa-ter,” Dr Fitzsimons said.

The Port Phillip project is the fi rst stage of the Nature Conservancy’s Great Southern Seascapes program, which aims to restore habitat across southern Australian waters.

“Our program will focus on habitat restoration, both in the water and on the coast, and encourage local people to get involved through different volunteer ac-tivities,” Dr Fitzsimons said.

Contract mattersContract mattersCongratulations to those progressive [Morning-ton Peninsula Shire] councillors who decided to put the CEO’s contract out to tender. Change begins at the top, and if our shire is to become one of the best local governments in Victoria, I believe a new broom is needed to sweep away years of management that has contributed to the enormous debt burden we are saddled with and, given recent poor [council] decisions, will no doubt double in the not too distant future.

For the fi rst time in nearly 20 years as a resident, I am hopeful for a bright future for the shire.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Ambiguous outcomeAmbiguous outcomeIn soccer you “bend it like Beckham". Facts can also be bent. Cr David Gibb claims that 68 per cent of the rather dubious Mornington Penin-sula News Group’s [online] poll supported a pool on the Rosebud foreshore. The councillor well knows that polls can be ambiguous and the question couched in such a manner to give the answer you require as was in that poll (“Coun-cil’s imaginary six”, The News 12/8/14).

However, [the now defunct] The Mail in Oc-tober 2009 unambiguously asked “Do we need a $20 million pool on rosebud foreshore" to which 63 per cent said no. As can be seen in The Mail poll, the cost has risen since that time to around $40 million.

Here is another fact, on 4 May 2012 a public meeting was conducted in Rosebud’s memorial hall where submitters both for and against a pool on the foreshore were invited to make submis-sions, 70 per cent were against a pool on the foreshore. They were however, happy for it to be built elsewhere when it could be afforded.

It must be nice to have a whole fi nance depart-ment to give Cr Gibb a piece of paper to quote all the facts and fi gures the council wants us to hear.

Try telling the ratepayers that rates are remain-ing the same when they don't remember paying that much last year. Quite frankly, ratepayers are fed up with the rubbery fi gures and lack of transparency.

The pool folly is growing all the time with new add-ons appearing every so often and so is the cost, as shown in the 2009 poll question. The then Labor government continually suggested from 2005 that council choose an inland site as the foreshore was inappropriate. We could have had a pool years ago if council had not been fi x-ated with the foreshore.

Cr Gibb won’t tell you that infrastructure ex-penditure throughout he shire will have to be put on hold because of the borrowings for the pool. He claims that there is no 6-5 split in council, might I suggest readers attend a council meeting and witness the toxicity for themselves

John Cain, McCrae

Over governedOver governedThe latest piece from Cr David Gibb (“Council’s imaginary six”, The News 12/8/14) just serves to reiterate what so many people have been think-ing and saying for many years: "We are clearly over-governed in Australia."

As a result of having so many elected positions available, we end up with a body of elected rep-resentatives that do not have the necessary skills or professional acumen to make the types of de-

cisions that will have a lasting impact upon our respective communities. We can only hope that the upcoming election in Red Hill ward might just restore some balance within the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

While it is a trite to say that local government should confi ne itself too the three Rs (roads, rates and rubbish), it certainly rings true when you have Cr Gibb espousing unqualifi ed support for the multi-million dollar SPA project when the shire's own consultants raise serious doubts as to both its need and viability.

Anyone with the types of skills and expertise required to personally interrogate those reports and form a view that was based upon that analysis, would probably not still be talking about a project budget that was formulated on costs that are now over three years old and acknowledge the substantial inherent risks of construction in shifting sands, which the shire’s consultant highlighted as being quite specifi cally.

If Cr Gibb undertook his own research and analysis, rather than just relying on a series of selective comments from third parties, then perhaps he would not attract the level of scrutiny and commentary from pundits such as David Harrison and others.

To be somewhat fair to Cr Gibb and his fel-low councillors, the standard of analysis and commentary provided by shire offi cers in their briefi ngs to councillors highlight that they can-not be relied upon to provide decisive advice, without fear or favour.

Stuart Allen, Dromana

Getting personalGetting personal It seems that when Cr David Gibb’s point of view is challenged he resorts to personal attack (“Council’s imaginary six”, The News 12/8/14). This follows a previous disappointing comment made a few years ago by Cr Gibb in an email to all councillors which was obtained under FOI by the Mornington Peninsula Rate-payers’ and Residents’ Association which said that: “Should members of this group (Rose-bud Ratepayers Group, trading misleading as the MP Ratepayers Group) be charged with sedition, microchipped and detained in the municipal pound for a week?”

Cr Gibb has made many statements over a period of time which he has not supported with hard evidence or which are at best his interpre-tation of the facts.

He has questioned my knowledge of pool costs, yet the references used are the same re-ports Cr Gibb purports to support his claim that “it was more expensive build SPA on the IGA site”. It would appear that Cr Gibb does not understand the difference between cost and the shire’s fl awed cost benefi t analysis which has been subject of criticism not only by our asso-ciation but by others including an independent, well experienced and qualifi ed expert in the fi nancial analysis of signifi cant infrastructure projects for the state government.

Since early 2012 The News has used terms such as “council bitterly divided”, “dominant group” and “Gibb faction” more than a dozen times. On a number of occasions the ruling group of councillors have been named. The reporting has not been confi ned to a single journalist, however Cr Gibb has singled out David Harrison.

The inference that Harrison and the Morn-ington Peninsula News Group are friends with the Rupert Murdoch press is a disgrace and Cr Gibb should immediately retract this statement.Dr Alan Nelsen, president, Mornington Penin-

sula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association

Biased reportsBiased reportsI have resided in Somerville for 20 months now having lived around the wonderful Morn-ington Peninsula for 32 years.

The motto under your masthead – “An inde-pendent voice for the community” - is not truly representational of an independent voice, in my opinion.

The paper continues to give a strongly biased opinion, through general articles, features and editorial to a generally left wing/green philoso-phy. I read very few articles or reporting items of what the “other” side of politics is doing, that is the present state government.

I am sure it is not their lack of trying to bal-ance your papers perceived bias, as I am reli-ably informed that local MP Neale Burgess is very active in this area and has been for several years.

The constant “green” articles about and against the proposed Port of Hastings (which has been muted since Henry Bolte’s days in the 1960s) give your readers the wrong impression of this project which, I believe, will bring pros-perity, jobs and growth to this area and retain Victoria as Australia’s leading port of world container destination.

We don’t all want to go back to living in the stone age and look forward to a bright future for our kids,our grandchildren and future gen-erations.

The long lead time and funds allocated by the state Liberal coalition to the Hasting Port Development Authority will I am sure protect and balance the interests of most concerned community groups. But the authority must be allowed to do its job and report back, having involved the community to the utmost, as I am sure is its mission.

Please try to balance your paper’s comments in future and your standing will rise consider-ably in this community, in my opinion, and you will then become what your banner professes to be.

Barrie Macmillan, Somerville

Preserve the bayPreserve the bayIsn’t it interesting how suddenly all the agents of the peninsula carpet baggers are quoting Sir Henry Bolte from the 1960s: “Western Port the Ruhr of Victoria.” Why not mention the pro-posed nuclear power station for French Island?

I think our society has grown up a little since the bad old days and we have decided to register Western Port as a Ramsar wetland of [interna-tional] signifi cance. It now looks as if Frankston Council is going to give Mornington Peninsula Shire a run for its money in praising this unsus-tainable development and quoting GHD research to make a case for all the benefi ts (‘Councils bank on expanded port’, The News 12/8/14).

Remember Peninsula link? The shire was all gung-ho for that project on the recommenda-tions of GHD’s environmental and economic research, only to realise later that it was maybe not such a great idea, especially the service cen-tres proposed for that road. The loss of natural

capital to our region from this unnecessary port development will outweigh any gains promised to our region.

The loss of amenity, tourism and natural envi-ronment will be in the billions of dollars for the Western Port region, just for the benefi ts of a few very wealthy speculators and developers.

Say no to this insanity and keep the Western Port region and the peninsula as the lungs and heart of the Melbourne metropolis. Once you start nibbling away at the north of Westen Port it will be the thin edge of the wedge for the de-struction of this beautiful recreation, agricultural and tourism asset.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Save Western PortSave Western PortBeing a devoted Peninsularian, as an account-ant throughout the Mornington Peninsula, an executive with Clean Ocean Foundation, hav-ing played golf down through the peninsula, fi shed for whiting, all in the past 40-50 years, I am unable to contemplate the desecration of Western Port.

We should not run the risk of polluting through oil spillage and destroying the quiet serenity, not only of Hastings but clean and well balanced townships bordering the western beaches of the bay.

All of the forgoing for a few lousy dollars and, in the case of pollies, a few lousy votes. Hopefully not in my lifetime.

Ron O’Toole, Mt Eliza

Thanks, volunteersThanks, volunteersI would like to thank the council volunteers who have made such an effort to provide me with wonderful meals three days a week. They have been so good to me over the past six weeks. I was assessed by Michelle who organ-ised everything brilliantly and the food was done so well by Kerrie. We always knock the council but no one stops and thinks of the good work they do – and these are volunteers.

Bill Seaman, Rosebud

Surveys endSurveys endA SERIES of marine and land-based site surveys that aim to pave the way for a new container port at Hastings have been completed.

The Port of Hastings Development Author-ity said the program started in December 2013 included a marine geotechnical survey, marine geophysical survey, land-based geotechnical survey and a topographic survey.

“Results of the surveys will provide the author-ity with detailed baseline information needed to inform port design and detailed scientifi c studies over the next three years, as planning for the development project to create Victoria’s second container port at Hastings continues,” authority CEO Mike Lean said.

“The largest program was the marine geo-technical survey. Two jack-up barges began surveying in late December 2013, taking seabed samples from just over 100 sample locations predominantly within the existing shipping chan-nels, anchorage and port areas of Western Port.”

One of the jack-up barges was put out of action in February when four sections of its 7-9 tonne “legs” broke off. It was back on the bay in April

following repairs by Crib Point Engineering, Hastings.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Live kangaroo sought for troop mascotLive kangaroo sought for troop mascotCompiled by Cameron McCulloughTHE Police Magistrate will preside at the Frankston Court on 21st Septem-ber next.

***WE are pleased to state that Mrs Lloyd (wife of Cr J. Lloyd) has now fully re-covered from her recent severe illness.

***THE secretary of the Frankston Brass Band acknowledges with thanks the sum of £5 5s, donated by H. Masterton Esq., towards the funds of the band.

***OVER £70 has been collected at Mornington for the Patriotic Fund. Ladies are daily employed at the shire hall making garments. The race club has donated £5 5s to the fund.

***MR P. Bailey of the Frankston Nurs-ery, assisted by a few of the lady mem-bers, tastefully decorated the stage for the last choral concert and quite a number of complimentary remarks were heard about the pleasing effect.

***THE Frankston Brass Band will play selections on Sunday afternoon next (weather permitting) in the vicinity of the Pier, when a collection will be taken up to go towards the Patriotic Fund. It is probable that some patriotic addresses will be delivered between the numbers.

***THOSE interested in giving a farewell to our Frankston lads who have enlist-ed for the war, are requested to attend a meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening next, (after sport’s meeting) for the purpose of arranging

date, and other necessary details. ***

THE annual meeting of the Frankston Sport’s Club will be held on Monday evening in the Mechanics Hall at 8.15 o’clock, for the purpose of receiving annual report and balance sheet, and general. A full attendance of members is requested.

***THE dance held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Saturday evening last, in aid of the permanent endow-ment of the Frankston cot in con-nection with the Children’s Hospital passed off very successfully. There was a good attendance and a most enjoyable time was spent dancing to the capital music supplied by Messrs Hay and Rogerson (piano and violin). Before breaking up, a dainty supper (supplied by the ladies) was handed around, which was much appreciated. Miss Reynolds acted as Hon Sec to the function.

***THE Lord Mayor (Alderman Heanessy) stated on Tuesday that Lieut Colonel McCay, in command of the Expeditionary Force, had said that cardigan jackets were particu-larly needed for the troops, and they would be appreciated on the transport vessels, Draught boards, ship quoits, and boxing gloves would enable much pleasure to be obtained on the voyage. Gifts of vaseline or other ointments, as well as boracic acid were also re-quired, in order to give relief where inconvenience might be experienced through much walking.

***

TO the order of various locals, Mr Garrood has in course of preparation an enlarged photo of the combined Peninsula football team, which recent-ly played the Essendon League club at Frankston. A presentation of this framed portrait is shortly to bet made to Mr H. Masterton, of Frankston. We have seen a copy of the picture taken by Mr H. Garrood, by fl ash light of the banquet held in the Mechanics’ Hall, and it is one of the best of the kind we have seen taken, being very clear and distinct.

***OUR readers are reminded of the com-ing fancy and poster skating carnival to be held in the Somerville Horti-cultural Hall, on Wednesday evening next, when trophies will be given for the best fancy dress (lady and gentle-man), best poster costume (lady and gentleman), most graceful couple and best sustained character (lady and gen-tleman). As half the proceeds are to be devoted to the Patriotic Fund, it will also prove as an additional incentive to attend, and there will doubtless be a record attendance.

***THE 49th annual report and review of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home and Seaside Home at Frankston has just been published, and shows a very satisfactory state of affairs. The receipts from all sources for the year amounted to £1368 4s 9d and the ex-penditure to £1362 17s 6d, leaving a small credit balance to commence this year’s operations. The number of boys dealt with during the year was 104. The general work carried out by the

various branches of the institution, under the direction of Mr Minton, the honorary superintendent seem to be in a healthy state, and promises well for a continuance of the good work now being carried on.

***THE annual ball in connection with the Hastings I.O.R. Tent takes place on Friday next. This function has come to be looked forward to by nearly all lov-ers of dancing as one of the best held, and the management this year are doing their level best to sustain their reputation, therefore those who at-tend are assured of a capital evening’s amusement.

***IT has been suggested to us that as nearly all the troops are allowed to take a “mascot” with them on their way to give them “good luck,” it would be a nice thing to provide our boys with a kangaroo to take with them and help to remind them of their homes in sunny Australia. If one was caught and presented to them we feel sure they would feel very proud and take every care of it.

***The ladies of Frankston have made up and forwarded the following articles for the use of the soldiers :- 72 gross safety pins (donated), 25 under fl an-nels, 3 fl annelette undershirts, 11 fl an-nel bed shirts, 10 fl annette bed shirts, 15 fl annette shirts, 35 bandages, 64 slings.***Mr L. T Malcolm, of Frankston, has been appointed Seargent in the B Squad, 4th Light Horse.

***TO THE EDITOR. Sir, Kindly spare me space in your columns to make a remark on the attitude shown by some of the laborites last Thursday evening at Crib Point, when Mr Turnbull was speaking in the Liberals’ interest.

From the beginning of the meeting it was very evident thatt they didn’t intend to let the gentleman speak, as every time he started some ignorant person would interject and block those who did wish to hear him from doing so.

I happened to be a visitor to Crib Point, and expected when I went to the meeting that Mr Turnbull would be al-lowed to speak without any interject-ing, but to my surprise some of those present did not act like Britishers at all.

I also happened to be staying in Hastings on the next evening, when Mr J. K. McDougall, the Labor candi-date, was speaking, and of course went to hear him.

Both the Liberal and Labor sup-porters were well represented, but the Liberals did not interject while he was speaking. but did what men should do -sit still and hear what they have to say, even if they don’t agree with all that is being said. Hoping that the next time I visit a meeting of the kind at Crib Point, the Laborites will behave in a more manly manner. Thanking you for your valuable space. Yours, etc, AGENT DISGUSTED.

years and includes 60 no.1 singles, more than any other artist in any gen-re; and boasts 33 platinum albums, more than any country artist and third across all genres behind only The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Strait is the only act in history to have a Top 10 hit every single year for over three dec-ades.

*** COUNTRY singer Aleyce Simmonds releases her new single My Life Drives Me to Drink, the 3rd single to be lifted from Aleyce’s Golden Guitar nominated album, Believe.

Featuring Mt Eliza singer/song-writer Lachlan Bryan on backing vo-cals, My Life Drives Me to Drink is an honest, relatable, old-school country song.

Aleyce said: “The song was written on the drive home after an afternoon of swapping life stories at the pub with friends. It is a simple song about a simple fact of life”.

The accompanying music video currently sits at no.15 on the Coun-try Music Channel Top 50 chart. Last week, Aleyce was announced as a fi -nalist in Best Album, Best Single and Female Artist of the Year categories at the Independent Country Music Awards of Australia.

www.aleyce.com

PerformanceIN a classic case of “When the going gets tough … the tough get creative”, Allan Caswell has taken his brand new album Sometimes When You Lose You Win from the initial concept to be-ing up on iTunes in barely a month.

“It was an idea that my wife Marian and Roger Corbett cooked up as a fun-draiser for my appeal in my lawsuit against Sony,” Caswell said.

“Marian wrote the title track with me, organised the cover art, helped me select the songs and generally co-ordinated the whole thing. They’re my songs but in many ways this album is as much Roger’s vision as it is mine … he played most of the instruments (with help from Ben Corbett, Dave Skinner and Damien Odell) and each song was given its own sound and ap-proach”.

Caswell failed to convince a NSW judge last month that his Prisoner TV show theme, 1979’s On The Inside, had been “ripped off” by the US band Alabama for their Christmas in Dixie song in 2003.

The album features the Christmas in Dixie On The Inside Medley, which has enjoyed a great deal of exposure on radio and YouTube and a couple of other songs pertinent to the Sony case.

It is a more alt-country departure from his recent classic country out-ings. The overall feel is very “up”, anger is expressed in humour and lyri-cally and musically it is among Cas-well’s very best work.

Caswell’s co-writers on Sometimes When You Lose You Win are Marian Caswell on the title track, Mt Eliza singer/songwriter, Lachlan Bryan (Re-ally Stupid People and A Little Weird Round Here) Dave Skinner (Life Can Be a Problem to the Working Man) and Drew McAlister (Your Memory Don’t Live Here Any More).

The rest are all Caswell originals.The CD version of Sometimes When

You Lose You Win will be available in a little over a week’s time via [email protected] and through The Songwriters Fighting Fund Facebook site. All profi ts go to funding the legal appeal including the iTunes down-

loads.www.allancaswell.com

***MELBOURNE 70s rockers Taste have announced that they have remas-tered tracks from their albums Tickle Your Fancy and Nights of Love to be available on CD for the very fi rst time next month.

The two albums will be combined to give the greatest hits album The Best of Taste. Tracks included are Boys Will Be Boys, Tickle Your Fancy, Little Ro-mance and my favourite Rock’n’Roll Superstar.

Taste guitarist/singer Ken Murdoch said: “A new album is planned with all the original members and a concert. This is an exciting project for the band and we are excited that the YouTube clip of Tickle Your Fancy has had more than 23,000 hits”.

Taste evolved out of a band called Cloud Nine formed by Ken Mur-

doch and Michael Gemini in 1970. Joey Amenta later joined the group and Taste was born. They had a Top 40 chart hit in 1976 with Tickle Your Fancy (Bootleg) followed by the Top 20 hit Boys Will Be Boys.

***IT pays to be a superhero. Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. has topped Forbe’s list of the highest paid actors, with his Avengers co-star, Australia’s Chris Hemsworth also making the top fi ve. Downey Jr came in at no.1 with estimated earnings of $81 million.

Mark Wahlberg is negotiating to star in a movie reboot of The Six Million Dollar Man. The show ran on US TV from 1974 to 1978 and well-known fi lmmaker, Peter Berg (The Kingdom, Hancock, Prime Suspect) will bring it to the big screen. The movie centres on an astronaut injured in a crash and

is remade using powerful artifi cial limbs and becomes superhuman. It was a popular science fi ction series which injected love interest by later spinning off The Bionic Woman (Lind-say Wagner). The show starred Lee Majors and Darren McGavin.

***COUNTRY superstar George Strait will release a new live 20 track album next month The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium (MCA) re-corded live at AT&T Stadium in Dal-las, Texas to more than 105,000 fans.

The King of Country Music and reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year performed for over 1 mil-lion fans during his record breaking two year fi nal U.S tour. Due in stores 19 September, the MCA Nashville re-lease contains hits from his 30-plus year career and features special guests Kenny Chesney, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Miran-

By Cliff Ellen

SPRING approaches, an attempt at happiness devoid of cynicism. Diffi -cult, but persistence being my middle name I press on. Howdy Doody boys and girls! Good, I’m glad we got that over with. Back to serious matters. The dangers of getting old. A point of view. The gradual changeover from the excesses of youth to the excess-es of seriousness. Having the soul in top gear (wowserish) despite the heavies of porn, politics, illness and religion. High morals appear to be a good thing, but surely the odd touch of debauchery can be let loose as a variable, even for health reasons? Do I choose righteousness and with it be-come a rotten apple? People on hand to tell you to follow the path of pure goodness (as they see it) but invari-ably people have their own demons. Two pots, special occasions three, but the body complains, in control, afraid of excesses, and yet still tempted by the look of the Woolworths shiny ap-ple. Temperance reigns, voluptuous-ness lingers, death is ever present and vague thoughts of eventual wis-dom (advanced cynicism) set aside in dreams. Thankfully, we have Joe Hockey for comedy.

***It’s all very well to compare our pre-sent day Coalition with George Or-well’s 1984 and assume the public are buying this, but in fact the pub-

lic is not buying this. The majority is buying this. Are you part of the majority? Ask yourself if you enjoy watching The Footy Show. If guilty, you clearly form part of this possi-bly mentally disturbed majority, and no doubt admire Andrew Bolt, Garry Lyon, James Brayshaw and Christo-pher Pyne? Give me a break.

***Eddie McGuire came out strongly in support of Nathan Buckley and the rebuilding gig. No surprise with the big question of the survival of some 80,000 members in 2015 and sup-portive justifi cation for his changeo-ver coaching idea. We Collingwood supporters appreciate Eddie’s efforts and eventually forgive Buckley’s treatment of Didak and Jolly, but the crux for many of us was the dump-ing of magpie royalty in Heath Shaw, fi rst mooted by his Uncle Tony? It was never about making the fi nals; it was about born and bred heroes. We support our team, live in hope, but it still hurts.

***Resentment appears to start very early in life for a host of reasons not necessarily connected to poverty or bad treatment. Way back in state school we had this boy Keating who seemed to have one purpose in life: to give me a thrashing. He was from a poor family, but in fact no poorer than

mine. I don’t think he had any real mates, whereas I was a best mate with not only the best footballer/cricketer at school but also on excellent terms with the best two fi st fi ghters. Com-mon sense? I suspect he thought I didn’t deserve my status: hopeless at sport, the major attraction to fame, and reasonably good at a few things but a master of none. He cornered me in front of the leading players group, no doubt hoping to put me in my rightful hall of infamy place. Alas, my tough friend Sonny stepped in, giving him a quick thrashing. Strange thing, resentment; likewise jealousy.

***National security reforms by way of concerns over the threat of terrorism and the retention of data for two years sounds sensible, but giving ASIO the power to hack into an innocent third party’s computer, in fact whole net-works, is the big worry. “People” make these decisions, likely to back-date forever. Any less or more is ex-cessive and dangerous.

***As kids we had the occasional yon-ny fi ghts with a group of scruffy kids known as Catholics. We would scream out at them “catholic dogs jump like frogs in and out the wa-ter”. They would respond, replacing catholic for protestant. In retrospect neither group had a clue. Fortunately

all forgotten on reaching puberty in favour of females (of any religion). Mind you, we had our suspicions of foreign females for a year or two after that.

***I was watching Cary Grant (To Catch a Thief) being served soup and quiche by his Asian housekeeper on his bal-cony overlooking the French Rivi-era. Shall I join Cary with my $70 million lottery winnings? Four bank accounts. One at $20 million for re-search into reversing the body clock. Two at $20 million apiece, send off the interest monthly to family, friends, charities; one at $10 million for my daily exuberances? Have a lift built in. Top shelf computer system; write my column. Talk to the kids on Skype, argue about their urgent need for more and more money. Lost the plot of the fi lm. No; it’s all too hard. Stop buying tickets? No-the dream remains. A live-in Asian housekeep-er? Do they have winters in France?

***ANZ Bank CEO Mike Smith and his apparent confusion with the magic word-mandate. When did the public give a mandate for pension changes, medicare costs, cuts to family ben-efi ts, education and health? If Tony tells us no pension changes, no tax cuts, a million new jobs and the like and he’s voted in with these promises

Confessions of a closet hoarderBy Stuart McCulloughWHEN you get down to it, what chance did I have? There are those for whom everything is in its right place. It’s hole-punched and fi led away – al-phabetically, chronologically or under the Dewey Decimal system. Theirs is a life that is uncluttered, uncom-plicated and (truth be told) wholly uninteresting. Then there are those of us who, in technical terms, have a lot of stuff. To the uninitiated, it’s mostly rubbish. In truth, this dazzling galaxy of objects consists of mementos, ar-tifacts and souvenirs of a life lived to the full. If I’m being honest though, I don’t just collect a few things along the way. I am a snowball careening down a mountainside, gathering pace and growing ever larger. There’s no point denying it any longer. My name is Stuart McCullough and I am a hoarder.

Frankly, this was my destiny. To try and deny it would be to defy the natural laws of the universe. It was preordained that I should be a hoarder because my father before me was (and remains) a resolute hoarder of near unimaginable dimensions. My hoarding proclivities are naturally curbed somewhat by a lack of space. In contrast, my father has twenty acres and can let his instincts run ‘free range’. He has kept everything. And of all the things that he has retained over decades, much of it resides in the shed.

When I was six years old, I broke my leg. The short story is that I fell out of a tree whilst attempting to fl y.

I have retained a spectacular respect for gravity ever since. The break was pretty bad and I was in plaster from my ankles right up to my hips. For months, I was a prisoner trapped in a plaster cell. To get around, I had to lie front side down on a trolley and roll across the slate. Carpet was terrain that was too tough to handle and I resorted to yelling at my siblings to

fetch things. They may claim that, plaster or not, I never really stopped.

It used to be that when in plaster, people would sign your cast. For a period, I was pretty much considered the town mutant and many of my classmates were driven out to gaze upon my hideous visage. This humili-ation was especially acute given the design of the cast itself. Whilst it

stretched from hip to ankle, it had large holes cut out in the front and the back. For modesty’s sake, a pair of oversized underpants was placed over the top of the cast. It was beyond humiliating.

Question: what’s worse than being stuck in a plaster cast and having to move yourself around on a trolley? Answer: being stuck in a plaster cast and moving around on a trolley whilst wearing a gigantic pair of Reg Grundys. One of my classmates summed it up best. Upon sighting my repulsive countenance and extensive plaster cast, he shook his head and simply said: “This was always going to happen.” Why he held this view was never explained but it was an observation that would haunt me for years to come. It was, in fact, the fi rst time I was ever typecast. Or, to be strictly accurate, type plaster cast.

Given the considerable acreage, all visitors were asked to sign the plaster. Upon refl ection, this was a monumental act of cruelty. Sign-ing a card is all right. Putting John Hancock in a book can be a sign of respect. But to sign a cast is simply drawing unnecessary attention to a defect. Frankly, it felt like people were rubbing it in. Regardless of any objection, my cast was soon home to an array of drawings and get-well messages. When I was fi nally cut free of my plaster chains, it was like being liberated. I was allowed to keep the remains. Goodness knows why. It is enough to say that when I moved out of home, the plaster cast was one of

many things I left behind. It sits in my father’s shed, hanging from the roof.

After thirty years, I’m prepared to call it – I doubt my old plaster cast will be of any further use. It has, I suspect, long since served its purpose. My father, on the other hand, is not yet ready to let it go. I can only guess how he might still plan to press it into service. Christmas tree decora-tion? Spring carnival hat? A warning to others who might secretly harbour a desire to throw themselves from a tree in the hope they might fl y? Maybe all of the above.

It’s not the only object from my childhood that has been jealously pre-served. There are the rocks I collected between the ages of eight and twelve after which time I lost interest, much as I had done with stamps, coins and football cards before them. There’s the pottery I made that is so ugly it’s pretty much the Elephant Man of the ceramic world. I’m not sure what drives him to hang on to all that stuff. Maybe it invokes another time. Perhaps he hopes to curate an exhibi-tion and is simply waiting for me to do something remotely noteworthy. It probably doesn’t matter. Whether physical or not, we all collect things over time. They are part of who we are. They also remind us where we’ve come from. Items like my plaster cast shouldn’t be discarded. They should be celebrated and, if practical, mounted for future generations to admire. When it comes to my plaster cast, I plan to do exactly that.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt RYE stormed its way into the Nepean League fi nals with a devastating display against Sorrento on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve.

With their season on the line, Rye needed to beat the Sharks to assure themselves a fi nals berth.

Had the Demons lost, old foes Rosebud would have grabbed their place in the top bracket after smashing Devon Meadows.

At their best, we were under no illusion that Rye was good enough to beat the Sharks. The only problem was that they lacked consistency throughout the season.

On Saturday, there was no hint of bad Rye. They were all class from the fi rst bounce to the fi nal siren, winning 15.11 (101) to 10.11 (71).

The Demons made the opposition look slow and old, such was their ability to win the ball on the inside and then run and spread the Sharks on the outside.

It all started with Rhett Sutton in the middle of the ground. The Rye skipper was the best player on the ground, whether it was dominating the ruck or winning his own footy around the ground.

If Sutton was the best player on the

ground, then Ryan Semmel wasn’t too far behind.

He dominated the clearances, tackled sensationally, gained huge meterage with his kicking and set the example for the rest to follow. It was this performance that no doubt had the Foxtel guys excited on the TV show, The Rookie. It was also the breakout performance that Rye supporters had been waiting for.

Ryan’s brothers, Luke and Jake, were also superb over the four quarter journey, whether it was through the middle of the ground or in attack.

Coach Ben Holmes was damaging at full forward, fi nishing with six goals. He kicked three in the fi rst quarter and dominated Chris Bagot.

Ben Cain was also dominant through the middle for the Demons while Adam Kirkwood, Ryan Taylor and Anthony Joel were in control of things down back.

The Sorrento forward line was smashed. Leigh Poholke fi nished with three goals but didn’t touch the footy in the fi rst three quarters. Myles Pitt couldn’t get near it and Ben Schwarze was non existant despite kicking a couple.

The Sharks only had three good players. Troy Shwarze worked tirelessly, as did Daniel Grant, while Guy Stringer tried valiantly down back

and broke even with Aaron Findlay.The likes of Kayle Stringer-Morris,

Leigh Treeby and James Hallahan were soundly beaten and Dave Lawson, Grant Johnson and Trevor Mattison were shown a clean pair of heels. Ryan Williams in the ruck was also well beaten.

While Rye will look forward to its chance to beat Red Hill in the cut–throat elimination fi nal this weekend, Sorrento must regroup and face Dromana.

People can say all they like that Sorrento had nothing to play for, given they would fi nish with the double chance regardless of the result. That’s garbage. Sorrento was completely outrun and outplayed.

The Sharks had a heap of wounds re-opened on Saturday and lack of leg speed was clearly one of them. On the big grounds, they are going to be found wanting.

Dromana will be ready and waiting for the Sharks after giving Red Hill a football lesson.

Like they did earlier in the year, Dromana punished the Hillmen in a quarter of footy, booting 12 goals to three in the second quarter, opening up a match winning 55 point lead. The fi nal margin was 62 points, 18.16 (124) to 8.14 (62).

Steven Gaertner fi nished the game

with fi ve goals, three of them coming in that explosive second quarter.

Jay Neratzoglou dominated for the Tigers, shutting down Jarred Eames, while Aaron Coyle was given the tough job on Hillmen full forward Jarryd Douglas and kept him goalless.

Andrew Kiely was back in the Dromana team and while he didn’t do a lot, he still fi nished with three goals, as did the fl eet–footed Kieran Voelkl. Daniel Waddell is a wonderful leader and he was inspirational on Saturday.

Paul Wintle did the job on Anthony Bruhn for the Hillmen and was one of their few wins for the day, while Dan McNamara and Jake Mitchell provided plenty of run.

It was a tough fi nal home and away game for the Hillmen and they now must regroup before their showdown with Rye, a side that beat them earlier in the year.

Rosebud needed to beat Devon Meadows to ensure they gave themselves every opportunity to play fi nals had Rye gone down.

They kept their end of the bargain with a 22.13 (145) to 12.4 (76) victory.

Keegan Downie booted six goals for the winners and was one of the best players on the ground while Greg Bentley and Ryan Spooner were outstanding.

Craig Thorne was the best of the

Panthers, along with Pat Harmes, while Steve McInnes fi nished with a team high four goals.

Crib Point fi nished minor premiers with a 19.22 (136) to 8.9 (57) win against Pearcedale.

The Pies have now earned the week break, which for any team at this time of the year, is a timely pick up.

Jon Flack kicked fi ve goals and Waide Symes four for the winners while Brad Arnold and Luke Herrington were again at their best. Jack Johnson and Dean Karies also continued their outstanding form.

Dean Janssen and Troy Jacobson were the best of the Panthers.

Frankston Bombers were made to work hard to get the four points against Tyabb, winning 11.17 (83) to 8.7 (55).

Jay Reynolds was the best player on the ground with four goals.

In the fi nal game, Hastings fi nished its season off strongly, beating Somerville in a great contest, 13.8 (86) to 11.10 (76).

Ben King and Josh Mulheron were outstanding for the Blues while Jedd Sutton kicked four goals and along with David Hirst were dominant for the Eagles.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt LANGWARRIN will face Mornington in the Peninsula League Elimination Final at Eric Bell Reserve this weekend after beating Frankston YCW by 16 points.

The Kangas needed the unlikely win to ensure it played fi nals for the fi rst time in Peninsula League.

As it turned out, Edithvale-Aspendale got the job done against Mt Eliza, which meant Langwarrin would have made it on percentage, even if they had of gone down to YCW.

It was the perfect warm up for fi nals for the Kangaroos, having beaten reigning premiers Edithvale and raging fl ag favourites YCW in the past three weeks.

Prior to the game, Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said that he wanted his team to earn their place in the fi nals.

“When it’s all said and done, you can say that we had enough wins throughout the year to play fi nals,” said Artico.

“However, for our group and their development, it was important that we made a statement and really earned that place in the fi nals.

“I really couldn’t fault us this afternoon. Other than over using the footy a bit in the third quarter, I thought our intensity and pressure was fi rst rate.

“It just showed once again that despite the opposition, if you can bring work rate and intensity over four quarters, you give yourself every opportunity to win,” said Artico.

Asked whether the fact that Frankston YCW would fi nish on top of the ladder and earn the week break regardless of the result on Saturday, Artico said he didn’t buy into that thought.

“I’ve been in YCW’s position with both Langwarrin and Dromana over the past eight or nine years and when you know you have a week break, you throw everything into the fi nal round.

“You don’t fl irt with form and you don’t tinker with game plans. Knowing you have a week off, you have a crack.

“The reality is that we played better footy for longer and I’m sure YCW would tell you the same thing,” said Artico.

The Kangas opened up a 17-point break at quarter time when they kicked four goals to one. They led by 24 points at half time and by 29 at the fi nal change.

Beau Muston was the best player on the ground with four goals and Matty Dimkos kicked three, while Nick Tuddenham and Andrew Withers shone.

Ash Eames worked hard for the Stonecats against the ever improving Matt Naughton and Dave Bodley got off the leash a bit with fi ve goals. Bodley won the league goal kicking award with 53 goals.

Edithvale-Aspendale fi nished off Mt Eliza’s season and in doing so ensured its top three position and the double chance.

The Eagles led by 23 points at the fi rst change and while the bruised and battered Redlegs had a red hot go in the third term, they couldn’t sustain it, going down 15.14 (104) to 8.12 (60).

Jarred Garth fi nished with six goals for the winners and Todd Woodbridge booted three while Lachy Foley and Keith De Souza in his eighth game were dominant.

Sam Gill and Rohan Heasley led the way for the Redlegs, who would be bitterly disappointed that they did not make fi nals.

Mornington will ease into this weekend’s elimination fi nal against Langwarrin on the back of a monstrous 93-point win over Pines.

The Pythons knocked Mornington off in one of the upsets of the season earlier this year, however, there was no danger of that happening again on Saturday.

The Dogs were 35 points up at quarter time and 64 up at the halfway mark. They ran out 22.21 (153) to 9.6 (60) winners.

Jackson Calder fi nished with a game high eight goals to fi nish the season with 46 while Dale Nolan booted six to give him 43 for the year.

Beau Hendry was outstanding for the Pythons while Jake Prosser worked hard for his three goals.

Bonbeach also warmed up for a qualifying fi nal showdown and grand fi nal replay against Edithvale with a commanding 114-point win against Chelsea.

The Seagulls led the Sharks by 17 points at the fi rst change and the difference was just nine points at the long interval.

However, the home side booted 18 goals to two after the break to win 24.15 (159) to 6.9 (45).

Owen Hulett kicked seven goals in a best on ground performance in just his sixth game of the season for the Sharks, while Calhan McQueen kicked fi ve majors, giving him nine in the past two weeks. Jackson Casey was also among the best players yet again. Of Casey’s 18 matches this season, he has been in the best 13 times. Of those 13, he has been named fi rst or second best on nine occasions.

Todd Gardiner and James Sivijs were the best of the Gulls.

Seaford fi nished its season with two wins on the trot, beating Karingal 12.15 (87) to 9.13 (67).

The Bulls led the Tigers at every change, however, were outscored four goals to four behinds in the last quarter.

Ben Crowe led from the front for his young team with four goals while Tom Shaw and James Quanchi also played great games.

Grant Paxton and Grant Goodall were superb for the Bulls, as was Aaron Paxton and Tom Wilkinson.

THE MPJFL Youth Girls faced Cranbourne in its fi rst preliminary fi nal, and greatest test yet.

The experienced Cranbourne side have been a power house team in youth girls football for the last fi ve years.

They went through the South East Juniors (SEJ) Youth Girls season undefeated and in the only game the MPJFL girls played against them during the year, they won by 49 points.

At the end of preliminary fi nal, the difference was just one point. Unfortunately, enough to see the end of this team’s amazing season of improvement.

They went into the game with the maximum 21 players with six on the bench, which has been the norm for the last few weeks, indicating the increase in team numbers and the growth in girls wanting to play football.

It is hard to believe that this team is only two years old, forming two weeks before the start of the SEJ Youth Girls Competition.

In its fi rst season the team competed well, qualifying and playing in the top division and fi nishing the season fi fth out of 12 teams, but missing out on fi nals.

In only four games last season the team had enough players to have a bench.

This season every game the team had players running off the bench with several games played with a maximum 21 players.

The team plays under the MPJFL Youth Girls banner and has players coming from Rye, Rose-bud, McCrae, Bittern, Hastings, Somerville, Mt Martha, Mornington and Mt Eliza areas.

It is truly a Mornington Peninsula team with many of the girls this year playing their fi rst season of football in a team competition.

Girls football is one of the fastest growing sports and the development of this team over the

last two years is a clear example of this growth. The team has been coached by local sporting

identity and community bank senior manager Gary Sanford and his daughter Vicki as assistant coach. Unfortunately for Vicki prior to this season’s fi rst game she did her ACL playing netball, which was a huge loss to the team. Vicki was instrumental in getting the team together last season and won its best and fairest in the team’s fi rst year.

“This team has gone from strength to strength from the very fi rst training run together last year,” said Gary.

“The improvement in each individual player and the team as a whole was clearly evident in today’s game, competing against quality experi-enced opposition.

“Although the team lost today every player gave 100% and played great team football. I thank every player for how they competed all year and improved each game.

“I hope these girls stick together next year and go on to enjoy even more success in the future.”

The team has had tremendous support from the Beleura Junior Football Club who allowed the team to use their grounds and facilities for training twice a week this year. It also hosted two of the seasons games at Dallas Brooks Oval in Mornington during the year.

“You can be assured girls football will con-tinue to grow and you will here a lot more about this group of girls successes on the football fi eld in the future,” said Gary

MPJFL Youth Girls: 6.8 (44) defeated by Cranbourne: 6.9 (45)

Goals: Phillip 3, Speedy 1, Baird 1, Muir 1 Best: Mitchell, Speedy, Rylance, Muir, Baird,

Francis, Mandile, Walker, Lewis, Stahl.
