A CRIB Point junior footballer was airlifted to the Royal Children’s Hos-pital on Sunday afternoon after be-ing knocked unconscious in a game against Pearcedale.
Xavier Wilson, 12, had his head over the ball when an opponent rushed in and their heads clashed in an MPJFL game.
Another player bumped the pair with his hip.
Xavier blacked out and fell to the ground. Trainers from both sides were quickly on the scene.

HASTINGS schools, early education providers and parents working togeth-er have shown how a community ap-proach to literacy and social inclusion gets results and gives student “hope”.
Since becoming involved in a project to develop the relationships between education services and families - Linking Schools and Early Years - the town’s literacy and school engagement levels have soared.
Figures from the Australian Early Development Census show that the project has reduced the number of preps in the town who had poor lan-guage and cognitive skills by almost 20 per cent. Only around 17 per cent of preps are now in that category, compared to 36.5 per cent before the project began.
The project was initially funded by the Murdoch Children’s Research In-stitute in 2009 to research the poten-tial to engage the wider community in children’s early years’ education and lift education results.
However, after funding ran out two years ago a like-minded group of Hastings teachers, parents and educa-tion providers decided to keep the project running and seek alternative funding.
Principal at St Mary’s Primary School Richard Mucha said every-one involved in the project was so passionate about its aims that they wanted to keep it going.
“There is no doubt that a whole-town approach to education and
Improving literacy: Richard Mucha and the principal team from Hastings primary schools get together regularly to talk about linking literacy and learning. Picture: Yanni
“We knew we had to be a united front and that if we put our resources together, we’d get results.”
To get those results, a partnership group involving the three Hast-ings primary schools, four childcare centres and kindergarten and ancil-lary health and social services have
implemented strategies and activities, including the upskilling of teachers, reading programs and socialisation sessions.
Mr Mucha said the co-operative, non-secular approach involved parents volunteering across government and non-government educational providers to run reading sessions, and teach-ers swapping between prep and early
childhood services. “One of the biggest barriers to vul-
nerable children could be overcome by creating stronger linkages and partnerships in early years’ services.
“We know that the early years are the key to engaging students in schools and that getting parents engaged is just as important as getting students engaged in school.”
Mr Mucha said other improvements that stemmed from the partnership in-cluded improvements in student well-being and giving students “hope”.
“When we did the ‘Reading For Life’ sessions, one of the unforeseen benefi ts was that connecting with the kids, encouraging them to learn and give them hope.”

IT was Exercise Right Week last week – the ideal time to receive a free health check with blood pressure measurement, heart health and diabe-tes risk assessment.
‘Your Move Exercise Physiology’ held the checks outside the Coles supermarket in Somerville’s Centro shopping centre last week.
The aim was to promote physical activity to improve people’s health and wellbeing, as well as to offer something back to support the health of the residents around Western Port.
Director Jason Gardner – who’s “passionate about physical activity for improving health” – opened his Tyabb clinic in January. “Much of Australia’s burden of disease, including cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, mental health, cancer, arthritis and chronic pain, could be reduced if people were more physically active on a regular basis,” he said.
“However, these health problems can pose serious barriers to exercise, and many people feel they are unable to exercise due to various physical
and mental health limitations. “Exercise Right Week promotes the
message that, as every individual is unique, we need to fi nd the appropri-ate exercise for people’s uniqueness.
“Exercise physiologists are experts in understanding the interplay be-tween exercise and the human body, both in healthy and various disease states. Our role is to fi nd a way to enable clients to move either to overcome their specifi c barriers, or to work around them and become more active despite limitations.”

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS ON SUNDAY 5TH JUNE
FRANTIC efforts to raise money to save the Otama submarine from the wrecker’s yard may be paying off.
Although falling far short of the es-timated $50,000 needed to make its moorings safe, a new design and lower prices could see the submarine’s future more secure, at least in the short term.
Max Bryant, president of the West-ern Port Oberon Association, was on Monday confi dent that a deal could be worked out by week’s end.
As previously reported, Parks Victo-ria has ordered the moorings fi xed or that the Otama be moved from where it now lies off Crib Point.
Parks manager moorings and port service operation Phil Fowler says while no deadline has been set the re-pairs are overdue.
He said the matter was not yet at the stage of deciding what would happen if the repairs are not carried out.
“A decision will be made at that stage,” Mr Fowler said.
Mr Bryant said he had received pledges of more than $10,000 and be-lieved that with a new “cost effi cient” design and “chasing prices” for materi-als was confi dent of being able to fi x the worst of the four moorings.
“I’m feeling reasonably confi dent.”
Earlier this month Mr Bryant posted an SOS – Save Our Sub – on the busi-ness-oriented social media site, Linked In: “We have word that a letter from Parks is imminent stating that if the mooring situation is not addressed then the sub has to go. If the sub has to go then the only place she will go is to the breaker’s yard. For all our hard work to see her broken up for scrap is in itself heartbreaking.”
Mr Bryant stated that anyone making a $500 donation would receive a tax de-duction, “the satisfaction of saving a his-toric vessel” as well as becoming a life member of the association and having their name listed on an honour board.
The latest crisis surrounding the Otama and the $25 million plan for it to be the centrepiece of the Victorian Maritime Museum at Hastings has also highlighted confusion over an offer of state government funding from Hast-ings MP Neale Burgess.
However, Mr Burgess said the $1 million “promised” to the Western Port Oberon Association by the Napthine government could not have been used to get the submarine out of its moor-ings dilemma.
“The money was only about bring-ing the submarine ashore,” he said on Monday.
Mr Burgess said the money had been available for some years before the
election of the Labor government in November 2014, but only on condi-tion that the association had followed “a list of things” required to bring the vessel ashore. Conditions under which the money would be handed over were made “very clear” at a meeting be-tween himself, the relevant minister and the association.
“I said when they were ready, we would be ready. The money was not an election promise, although it would have still been available if were re-elected.
“I tried to explain that it was not an election promise and that they could have the money before the election if they were ready.”
Mr Burgess said that as the required applications “hadn’t been done” the money was never handed over.
He said the estimated $25 million cost of the Otama project – which also include the former Port Phillip Sea Pilots ship Wyuna now languishing at anchor in Tasmania - had surprised many people.
“I thought they needed $2.5 mil-lion to get it [the submarine] ashore, and once that happened [they told me] other people [with money] would get involved.
“The Hastings community needs it so badly and I’m happy to do anything to help.”
THERE was a guard-of-honour by up to 300 friends and family at the funeral last week for Hastings man Travis Frank Napier, 54, who died when the motor bike he was riding ran off The Esplanade, Crib Point, on Tuesday 17 May.
The service, at the Western Port Christian Family Church, Tyabb, was conducted by celebrant Gavan Grosser, of Mt Martha.
Daughter Sheree Wilson said her father, a tree-lopper, died in hospital four days after his birthday.
“He was well known and well-loved and family and friends came from everywhere to say goodbye, even from interstate,” she said.
“He touched a lot of people in so many ways; he would do anything for anybody.”
Mr Napier leaves a partner, Sharon Szejnoga, and four children: Paul 28, Trevor 27, Sheree 25, and Chantelle 23, and three grandchildren.
The funeral was arranged by Ted Bull Funerals, Somerville.

RESIDENTS had a chance to visit Melbourne Water’s Tyabb Reservoir renewal project, Friday 20 May, to gain a better understanding of the works in progress.
Drinking water is piped to the reser-voir from Melbourne Water’s Cardinia Reservoir and Tarago treatment plant.
An embankment inside the reservoir will create two basins, with new cov-ers and linings.
Melbourne Water project manager
Kerri Skelton said the opening gave residents a rare behind-the-scenes look into the project. “We wanted to invite our close neighbours to show them the scale of the construction of this important project,” she said.
The works have already necessitated 1375 truck deliveries for the 44,000 tonnes of rock for the 70 per cent completed embankment.
Former councillor Aldona Martin said residents were pleased with the
consultation before the start of works.“Residents have been included on
an ongoing basis, with updates at every stage of the process, includ-ing two on-site visits. The impact of heavy traffi c movements has also been carefully and respectfully managed,” Ms Martin said.
The Tyabb Reservoir Renewal Pro-ject began in March and will continue until the end of the year.

Reservoir puts on show for locals
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has decided against pursuing Cr Antonella Celi for thousands of dollars she alleg-edly spent over her allowances.
Councillors last week reversed an earlier decision for the shire to seek re-payment of what appeared to be about $9000 over what was allocated to her for conferences and seminars.
After the meeting, Cr Hugh Fraser told The News that the matter had been a ”whitewash”, with no informa-tion provided on the management de-cisions surrounding Cr Celi’s expenses claims.
However, the matter is unlikely to be resolved soon, with Cr Fraser al-ready planning to move a recission motion at next council meeting.
A notice of motion put forward by Cr Anne Shaw that there had been “no overpayment” and to cease recovery action, ignited fi ery debate and calls by Cr Fraser that the process had not been investigated improperly.
Councillors are allowed $4000 a year to attend conferences and semi-nars, but at council’s 26 April meeting, it was heard that Cr Celi’s spending had reached $28,520 during her cur-rent four year term.
It was agreed at that meeting that Cr Celi should repay the money allocated to her under her entitlements for con-ferences and seminars, and repay costs
of legal advice from Maddocks Law-yers sought by council at her request in March.
Monday’s reprieve for Cr Celi came despite angry calls from Cr Fraser that the lawyers investigating the issue were not given information about the $4000 expenses limit, and that there had been no management report out-lining details of the expenses requests.
It is understood the advice from Mad-docks cast doubts on the shire’s abil-ity to reclaim money from councillors. Governance manager Joe Spiteri said the confi dential legal advice would be made public at council’s next meeting.
He said the solicitors were given “all relevant information” in provid-ing their advice and that the motion intended to amend the earlier motion to recover the money.
Not happy with this explanation, Cr Fraser further questioned Mr Spiteri, this time on the adherence to a council rule stating that a previous resolution could only be revoked if it had not been acted upon.
As no recovery action on the over-spending had begun, Mr Spiteri said the notice of motion was “valid”.
The motion to note that Cr Celi had not overspent and that no recovery would be pursued was supported by Crs Bev Colomb, Anne Shaw, An-drew Dixon, David Garnock and Da-vid Gibb, with Crs Graham Pittock, Tim Wood, Fraser and Tim Rodgers against. Cr Celi left the chamber dur-ing the debate and vote.

The school effectBITTERN Primary School pupils are speaking out against confronting so-cial issues and developing messages to schools around the region.
The pupils are involved in The School Effect, a resilience and leader-ship program that helps them to cre-ate, develop, fund and deliver social cause projects in the community.
The program’s projects are created and selected by the grade 5/6 stu-dents, including divorce, homeless-ness, bullying, cancer and addictions.
Program director Steve Brunskill said the program was not an add-on to the curriculum, but could be delivered through the curriculum as needed.
Live Out Loud has been running these sessions for 24 years in Aus-tralia, Singapore, Malaysia, East and South Africa and Denmark.

Arrest after chasePOLICE on Saturday night chased a man on foot and arrested him after he was allegedly found in a stolen BMW in a factory area of Simcock St, Somerville.
Senior Constable Jack Henderson, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the man, 26, ran when approached by police, who allegedly found 250gm of the drug ice in the car and a stolen wallet and ID cards in the man’s pockets.
The man, of no fi xed address, was remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court next month on charges of traffi cking amphetamines, handling stolen goods, resisting arrest and theft of a motor car.
The car was reportedly stolen from Narre Warren.

Sewell for lunchESSENDON great Greg Sewell was guest at the third annual coterie club lunch at the Hastings Club on Satur-day 21 May.
Sewell played 171 games with the Dons and also gave the club great service over more than three decades, serving as assistant coach, committee-man and eventually president.
About 130 attended, including Hasting MP Neale Burgess and Morn-ington Peninsula Shire councillor David Garnock.
Sewell was interviewed by Doug Ackerly, author of Coleman - The Untold Story of an AFL Legend. He spoke of his link with his fi rst coach, Dick Reynolds, and his association with John Coleman as a team mate and then assistant coach.
Sewell provided an insight into the problems which have beset the club in recent years.
Another highlight of the afternoon was the induction of a further 10 players/offi cials into the Hastings Football Club Hall of Fame, adding to the list of 10 previously inducted.
The new members are former play-ers Rodney Mays, Jack Roberts, Fred Bayne, Kevin Miles, Simon Forward, George Slocombe Jr., Ian Creasey, John Murphy, and Greg Hodgins.
Club historian Vic Jeremiah com-pleted the list. For the fi rst time, the club named a legend from the 20 Hall of Famers – with the honour going to Richard Everist.
The signifi cant contribution made by club stalwart Mark Wilson in the development of the netball complex was also acknowledged, with the complex to be called The Mark Wil-son Netball Complex.
BEN Wild is the Animal Justice Party candidate for the federal seat of Flinders at the up-coming election.
He is the third candidate to step forward against Liberal Greg Hunt, who has held the seat since 2001.
Willisa Hogarth will contest Flinders for the Greens and Carolyn Gleixner for Labor.
Ms Gleixner unsuccessfully stood for the state seat of Nepean against Liberal Martin Dixon in 2014 and Ms Hogarth is the state convener of the Australian Greens.
Mr Wild said although the Animal Justice Party was seen as a micro party, “it looks as though we will end up being the fourth biggest party - cer-tainly in terms of candidates”.
He said the party has “experienced enormous growth” since the last federal election when it ran two candidates in the lower house and 12 in the senate.
This time around it will be contesting 41 lower house seats and 12 in the Senate.
Mr Wild is a director of a “digital agency” in Melbourne and has previously worked for the ag-ribusiness, Incitec Pivot.
He has a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in economics and industrial relations and has “built, managed and operated” several businesses.
Mr Wild says his “primary focus” for the 2 July election is “getting animals on the political agen-da” and opposition to factory farming, including chicken broiler farms and greyhound racing.
“Thirty million broiler chickens and 150,000 layer hens are factory farmed on the peninsula each year – with no access to sunlight, never stepping outside and in some cases crammed into cages for their entire miserable existence,” he said.
“I wonder how many residents of the Flinders electorate know that this is happening in their backyard? To put it in slogan speak - it’s time we stop the sheds.
“Animals are directly and indirectly affect-ed by a vast majority of legislation that passes through Parliament – yet there is no one there to
Poll bid to give ‘voice’ to animals
put forward a case for these animals,” he said.“The Animal Justice Party is part of a global
and growing movement that is committed to the interest of animals, nature and the environ-ment in politics and public administration. In the Netherlands, the Party for the Animals has over 50 elected representatives across various levels of government. In 2015, Mark Pearson of the Animal Justice Party was elected into the NSW Legislative Assembly.”
Mr Wild said voters could “send a strong mes-sage to Canberra that the lives of animals mat-ter”.
“So if you want to see an end to factory farm-ing, to ban live export, an end to greyhound rac-ing and duck shooting, the protection of native wildlife and an end to puppy mills – then giving your vote to the animals at the next election is your only option.”

SECURITY will be upgraded at The Briars homestead, Mt Martha, so that a priceless Napo-leon collection of artefacts and artworks can be displayed.
Burglars broke into the homestead in April, 2014, stealing 10 items, including locks of the French emperor’s hair, a silver inkwell, some gold Napoleons and a ribbon inscribed by Napo-leon in 1815.
The large collection had been housed at The Briars for about 20 years and is the largest Napo-leonic collection outside of Europe.
The theft highlighted a lack of security at the historic venue, with the thief entering the proper-ty through a bathroom window by removing glass paneling, and using the door to block a potential security system and force the cabinet open.
The collection has since been displayed at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery in Mornington and will be relocated to The Briars in
temporary display cases until the installation of a $10,000 purpose-built, museum-standard case.
Mornington Peninsula Shire’s natural systems team leader Simon Thorning said accepting the donation came “with obligations”, but that coun-cil was excited to accept the gift.
Mr Thorning said that “in all likelihood” the stolen items would never be recovered”.
On Monday, councilors voted to accept the return of the donated collection and allocate an extra $6500 each year to cover packing, transport and conservation costs. The council will also al-locate money for insurance and security staff, but will also seek volunteer support.
The Briars was built 130 years ago for Alexan-der Balcombe, who was born on the same island, St Helena, where Napoleon was exiled in 1815 after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
Mr Balcombe’s great-granddaughter, Dame Mabel Brookes, bequested her collection to the National Gallery of Victoria in the 1970s and it was then placed on loan to the National Trust for display at The Briars.

Breast cancer rates soarSTAFF at Peninsula Health have seen a 69.9 per cent increase in the number of breast cancer cases treated since 2008.
Breast care nurse Rhonda Barnes predicts the trend is “set to rise even further over the next several years”.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diag-nosed cancer in Australian women and has the second highest mortality rate after lung cancer.
Cancer Australia estimates that there will be more than 16,000 new cases diagnosed this year.
The breast surgery team at Peninsula Health treats more than 130 women a year.
As a breast care nurse, Ms Barnes is the linchpin in the care of the patient. Her job is to support the family, coordinate the patient’s care and provide them with information.
“Information is power,” she said. “Once we have power we feel in control, once we feel in control, we can cope.
“A doctor will tell a patient, these are your results, this is what we’ve found and these are what the next best steps will be.
“It’s a well-known fact that, when you’re receiv-ing bad news, by the time you’ve left the consulta-tion you’ve retained only about 50 per cent of the information and, by the time you get home, that probably goes down to about 25 per cent.”
Peninsula Health has launched a campaign to raise money to expand breast care support services for all women on the peninsula. Details: peninsulahealth.org.au/give-gift-care/
Watchful eye: Peninsula Health breast care Nurse Rhonda Barnes with a client.
THE public “turned out in droves” for open tastings at last week’s 16th International Cool Climate Wine Show at Mornington Racecourse.
More than 400 wines over many classes – with 20 per cent coming from the Mornington Pen-insula – had earlier been appraised by a team of judges.
Cool climate wines are produced on the penin-sula by 170 wineries and sold through 50 cellar doors. Wine lovers at the show had the chance to compare and contrast these varieties with cool climate wines from around the world.
The public tasting added a touch of mystery, with wine lovers bravely wending their way
through a fi eld of up to 600 masked wines, testing their tastebuds and then checking their catalogues to help identify class and entry number with type of wine, vintage and estate of origin.
Winemakers say the peninsula’s maritime cli-mate has a special effect on its wines, helping them produce some of the world’s fi nest cool climate varieties with outstanding fl avours, bal-anced acidity and fi ne tannins.
The Cool Wines Public Tasting and Cool Wines Awards explored wines from 2012-2015 (and older vintages in some classes), compared wines of the same grape variety from different regions, and focused on wines from specifi c regions or
vintages. “Cool climate wines are rapidly captur-ing the hearts and minds of wine enthusiasts,” International Cool Climate Wine Show project manager James Baldwin said.
About 20 competition classes, included spar-kling wines, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, riesling, pinot noir, and shiraz, were assessed by an experienced 12-member team led by master of wine Meg Brodtmann.
She presented the gold medal and announced trophy winners, along with her personal selection of unusual, interesting and trend-setting wines, on Friday night.

SENIOR planning staff at Mornington Peninsula Shire may have been shown the door, with re-dundancies offered to long-standing team leaders and managers in the strategic projects and statu-tory planning departments.
One senior manager has been offered a lesser role to stay with the organisation, which in its most recent round of staff cuts shed staff or downgraded positions at Hastings, Mornington, and Rosebud libraries.
Mornington Peninsula Shire chief operating of-fi cer Alison Leighton would not be drawn on the extent of the redundancies last week. “The shire has been looking at ways to further improve the delivery of customer service by its planning ser-vices team,” she said.
“To this end, an approach that looks at several factors has been put to team members. This in-cludes enhanced responsiveness and customer service, process improvements and simplifi cation, clarifying performance measurements, reducing complexity and unnecessary administrative pro-cesses, and seeking ways to attract, develop and retain high performance team members.
“The general response to the proposed changes has been positive, however, consultation with all team members is still under way preventing any further comment at this time.” Stephen Taylor

Talk about womenSOAR Collective is holding its inaugural Woman Leaders in our Community event on Thursday 2 June at Lilo Cafe, Mornington “to facilitate much needed conversation in our com-munity”.
Soar Collective founder Jess Jones said the event was an opportunity for women to be “part of the decision making process” on issues which affected them.
She predicted it would encourage women to take up leadership roles in business, politics and the community and be more involved in decisions around public policy. The event would enable them to share ideas and be part of the solution in working towards having “a fair rep-resentation in our community and in politics”.
Guest speakers will be Toorak College prin-cipal Kristy Kendall and Nepean MP Martin Dixon.
Cost: $32.34 (student concession: $27.12) includes canapes. Details: www.soarcollective.com/

Council back scratchingIn a stunning about face last Monday, the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council in a 5-4 vote reversed two earlier resolutions of council requiring overspending on councillors’ confer-ences and seminars account to be repaid.
Management and councillors can be in no doubt as to the prescribed limits for a councillor - $4000 a year or $16,000 a councillor term (plus $3500 if mayor). So much has been clearly reported by management in written reports to council on fi ve occasions over the past four years.
The reversing motion was put up by Cr Anne Shaw, prepared by her with advice from manage-ment, and approved by the deputy mayor Cr Bev Colomb and Crs Shaw, Andrew Dixon, David Garnock and David Gibb.
There has been no explanation from manage-ment as to how the overspending came about in the fi rst place.
Without an explanation, Mornington Peninsula ratepayers will readily conclude that there is no limit on what councillors may claim by way of these expenses and the reversing resolution is but a whitewash.
Ian Morrison, secretary, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association
Decision madeMornington Peninsula Shire’s proposed 2016/17 budget shows almost $1.206 million for an upgrade to the Rye boat ramp. As the 2015 Draft Rye Foreshore Landscape Master Plan is yet to be endorsed by council, it suggests that the decision to add a fourth boat ramp had already been made, therefore misleading ratepayers into believing that their contributions would be considered.
Unfortunately, this is only the last of many instances where I believe that the Council has misled ratepayers.
When presented to council, the draft plan made reference to the then unreleased 2014 shire wide Boating Ramp Demand and Capacity Study. This probably wouldn’t have seen the light of day but for the actions of a diligent ratepayer, as it stated that other boat ramps on the peninsula were a
higher priority for an upgrade than Rye. It also stated that the extra ramp will increase demand for it by power boats and jet skis, increasing traffi c congestion and parking problems during summer.
Many believe that the upgrade is unnecessary because the existing ramp only reaches capacity on fi ve days or less each year, which the council has never questioned. In fact, it has advised that the revenue from the ramp has dropped 39 per cent since 2012.
Since 2008 the Rye community has co-oper-ated with the council on all plans to upgrade the Rye foreshore, suggesting ideas that would en-hance Rye. Items such as, building a boardwalk to the White Cliffs lookout, planting the road edge to screen the camping area, making safe paths to the beach, stopping fetid storm water drains draining into the bay, to name a few.
The 2015 Draft Rye Foreshore Landscape Plan acknowledged this by listing these items as high priorities (1-3 years), whereas the boat ramp is only rated as a medium priority (3-5 years).
It is therefore disappointing that the council-lors are set to approve funding for a project from a draft plan, which is likely to detract from Rye.
David Trunfull, Rye
Wrong on 3 countsI respond to an article published in the The News (“Bandicoot to keep ‘endangered’ status”) and letters from candidates [“Wild about smiles” – Esther Gleixner campaign manager for Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner and “Protection lacking”, the Greens’ Willisa Hogarth]. I would like to set the record straight about the inaccuracies in both let-ters and the original media report: There were not 49 species added to the Threatened Species List. There were 21 new species added to the list. At the same time, there was one change of category and 27 other species had their names changed.
This is a very basic error and it’s disappointing to see the Greens candidate not doing even the most rudimentary checking to verify this fi gure.
Australia’s unacceptably high rate of species extinction is a problem that needed a fresh ap-proach. That is why the Coalition government appointed Australia’s fi rst threatened species commissioner and released Australia’s fi rst
threatened species strategy.The strategy contains ambitious but achievable
targets to turn around the trajectory of 20 priority birds, 20 priority mammals and 30 priority plants by 2020. It also commits to the creation of fi ve feral cat-free islands, 10 mainland feral cat-free wildlife enclosures and the culling of two mil-lion feral cats.
For the fi rst time, threatened species have an Australian government policy framework with hard and measurable targets.
Since the appointment of the threatened spe-cies commissioner in June 2014, the govern-ment has mobilised more than $208 million for projects that directly support and protect our threatened species.
However, protecting our vulnerable wildlife is not a task that governments can do alone. We can only be successful by working in partnership with all levels of government, the community and the private sector.
Greg Hunt, MP for Flinders and Minister for the Environment
‘False hope’ politicsToday I received the latest newsletter from [Flin-ders MP] Greg Hunt. Under the heading “What we are fi ghting for in Flinders” there is a very long list of community projects.
As a long term pool user and an active fi ghter for a new southern peninsula aquatic centre, I was bemused to see that he is fi ghting for this development: s o quietly that I had no idea.
I am one of 120 residents who are regular us-ers of what I regard as the most inadequate pool at Colchester Rd, Rosebud.
We are seniors who attend water aerobics classes. As we are desperate for a new aquatic centre and depressed at the inaction of all levels of government; can Mr Hunt please tell us what his plan of action is?
We have written to and spoken with local gov-ernment and state government representatives at length, all to no avail, over a number of years.
I am also a volunteer at Rosebud Hospital. The CEO of Peninsula Health has recently told our auxiliary that the re-development of Rosebud is a concept only and part of a “10-year plan”,
which will require much local fundraising. I don’t think Mr Hunt should be claiming to be actively involved in such long term and currently unfunded development.
Is our aquatic centre also part of a 10-year plan?
The disappointed pool users believe it will be much longer term than that. Don’t play the politics of false hope with these matters. They are very important to local residents. We have suffered much disappointment over our much needed aquatic centre.
Equally, the Rosebud Hospital is a precious resource in our community. Mr Hunt should treat us with honesty and actively demonstrate just how and when he will help us if he wants our support. Carol Dickman, Rye
Promises, promisesSo here we go again, into election mode and all of the promises start tumbling out. Promises of many dollars for this, and many dollars for that, and all else in between.
Greg Hunt, MP for Flinders along with Chris Crewther the Liberal candidate for Dunkley, are right up there on the big promise train.
However, regardless of which party it is doing the promising, all such promises should have the following mandatory caveat attached to them: “These promises are fully dependent on I, as the candidate and the party I represent, being elected [to government].”
Unless those two scenarios happen then any promise is worthless, the sitting member for Flinders along with Mr Crewther know that they are dealing in the political smoke and mirrors trick on the issue of promises. But if they pull it off, then the caveat should come into play. That may well test the integrity of the person or the party making the promises.
The MP for Hastings, Neale Burgess, before the last state election promised a hundred thou-sand dollars here and a hundred thousand dollars there knowing that he needed the above caveat to deliver on those promises.
One group even fell for this spiel going out and spent large sums of money it thought was guaranteed. Continued Page 16

History on paper: MORNINGTON’S Baluk Arts is hosting ‘Bambuga Long Time Ago: A Solo Exhibition’ featuring charcoal portraits on canvas by Nick Kupetsky. The theme, Our History, Our Story, Our Future, covers the history of Aboriginal people in Tasmania. The exhibition is open 2-4pm until July 15, 2-4pm at Baluk Arts, 6 Bruce St, Mornington.
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has acknowl-edged the work of the Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders, PACE, and recognised its 10-year anniversary.
PACE was established in May 2006, as a rec-ommendation of the shire's Elder Citizens in the Community Strategy. The group works with the council to plan infrastructure and services that meet the needs of the peninsula’s much older than average community..
The mayor Cr Graham Pittock recently presented committee chair, Jeanette Lane, with
a letter under seal as a gesture of the council's appreciation for the hours volunteered.
“On behalf of council and most importantly our community, thank you sincerely for your in-credible contributions to making the Mornington Peninsula an even better place to live and age well," Cr Pittock said.
PACE’s achievements over the past decade include input into shire policies and support-ing the shire to develop its most recent Positive Ageing Strategy titled Mornington Peninsula: A Community for All Ages, 2013 – 2018.

What a rude surprise it received.It may well pay to remember this: A caveat is a
warning. When someone adds a caveat to some-thing they’re telling you to beware — maybe what they’re telling you comes with certain con-ditions or maybe there’s something dangerous lurking. Michael Binney, Bittern
UnconvincedI am writing to the voters of Flinders from across the Nullabor with the hope that they will do something about Greg Hunt. In my opinion he has been a disaster as an environmental minister and I am particularly concerned about the future that he and his carbon loving LNP mates are go-ing to leave for my four grandchildren.
Some of Mr Hunt’s claims and statements that I fi nd offensive are:
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation was slammed by Mr Hunt as a “green hedge fund” when supporting Tony Abbott’s decision to close it down. Now he has recently stated that he could not be more delighted with the Turnbull resur-rection of the CEFC.
He is alleging Labor’s plan will drive up elec-tricity prices by 78 per cent without convincing evidence.
In the past he has praised Yale University for its accurate measure of Carbon emissions. Now that Yale has listed our carbon performance as among the world’s worst his silence is deafening.
He claims that Direct Action is achieving and beating its targets. Yet our carbon emissions are going up.
I found his his Press Club debate with Mark Butler very unconvincing.
Unfortunately Flinders is a very safe Liberal seat, but adjacent seats such as Dunkley are not. So I guess that the only chance of a change of environment minister is for a change of govern-ment. Here’s hoping.
Terry O’Shea, Halls Head, WA
Proof requiredWhile I recognise everyone’s right to express their own opinions, Anthea Mollison has stated that both Rupert Steiner and myself need to get
our “facts” straight (“In praise of Mr Hunt”, Letters 24/5/16). While I cannot speak for Mr Steiner, I try, at all times, to get my facts correct.
What I do fi nd very frustrating are people who make statements with no specifi cs.
I am at all times open to correction if the em-pirical proof is there. If Ms Mollison would like to show precisely how my facts are not straight I am willing to listen; but, hopefully, it goes both ways in that if I can show scientifi c proof will Ms Mollison agree?
In the past I have voted for differing political parties (usually a minor party), but this does not mean I am a diehard for any one party. I vote on the merits of their policies. Andrew Raff, Fingal
Too little, too lateThe belated and pitiful amount of money set aside to protect the Great Barrier Reef, although welcome and greatly needed, cannot gloss over the fact that the approval of the Carmichael coalmine and the huge amount of dredging for the Abbott Point port facilities will negate any benefi ts derived from spending this money.
The threat of these projects is unacceptable to anyone with any heart for the environment. But Anthea Mollison (“In praise of Mr Hunt”, Letters 24/5/16), should realise the reef has only been taken off the endangered list for a very short time, about 18 months and, with the present case of coral bleaching going on, it may most probably be put on the endangered list again.
The legal clearing of huge tracts of land in Queensland will also put ever greater stress on the reef from soil and nutrient run-off. To my mind, [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt is no friend of the environment as he clearly demonstrated when he tried to get large tracts of Tasmanian world heritage forests delisted. Australia under the LNP administration is steadily going back-wards on the threatened species and environment side. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Change visa systemIt’s easy to say that welfare costs can be reduced by getting people off it and into jobs and also reduces the unemployment rate, but there are
many problems relating to this.One is that businesses and companies do not
want to train people and expect to employ people with their required skills and experience.
While doing courses is good, it does not get you the experience you need to get the jobs.
The other problem is that there are so many people in this country on work visas.
Around a year ago there were 900,000 people here on temporary visas including 200,000 on 457 visas, 330,000 on other work visas and 370,000 on student visas (who can also work). Separate from this there were 600,000 New Zealanders on special visas, that’s around 1.5 million people, which would make up seven per cent of the workforce if all participated.
Apparently the number is 1.44 million people now - more than the population of Adelaide.
The number of unemployed is 730,000 accord-ing to ABS so, if half of these work visas were abolished, there would be virtually no unem-ployed Australians.
This reduces employers’ incentives to employ Australian citizens and train them when they have all this on tap and it certainly does not help school leavers or mature age people get a job.
We have all these registered training organisa-tions getting payed by the federal government via our taxes to put people through courses but still need on the job training and work experience.
The federal government needs to address the real problem and do something about the work visa system and cancel the agreement with New Zealand about equal work rights in Australia.
Patrick Geeves, Somerville
Camper support Although I applaud John Cain and his Friends of Rosebud Foreshore who were snubbed by the old [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council (pre Hugh Fraser and Tim Wood) despite their sterling efforts, I don’t share John’s dislike of camping. I like the good range of shops in Rosebud which would not survive without our annual camping community. I like the park-like foreshore most of the year, but I equally like the breath of fresh air brought to Rosebud by the campers, with families riding our precious bike
path and youngsters frolicking on the beach.I clean the foreshore every Clean Up Australia
Day between the jetty and lighthouse (except for the time it was proposed to build a mammoth structure on it) searching every nook and cranny and am impressed with how little rubbish the campers leave behind.
Marlene Lee of Rosebud West (“Happy camper”, Letters 24/5/16) was right on the ball about the history of camping; Brownlow winner Bert Deacon was one of the early campers and another camping family became residents but still moved to the foreshore every summer to enjoy the “gypsy” lifestyle.
It’s good to see that Cliffy Ellen only notices the dolphin statue while sipping his coffee at Rye and hasn’t been bothered by the sight of the campers, despite his previous moans about hav-ing to wait for his coffee (“Coffee notes”, Letters 24/5/16). I think he secretly loves the campers just as I do. Ray Gibb, Rosebud
Go veganThis World Environment Day, June 5, please do something to help wildlife and cows, chickens, pigs, sheep and other farmed animals: go vegan.
Climate change is the biggest threat to animals in the wild, particularly in the oceans, where warming temperatures and acidity levels are killing the Great Barrier Reef and fi sh which rely on coral reefs to survive. But we can still combat climate change and save lives by eating tasty vegan meals. Plant-based foods require fewer resources and cause less greenhouse gas emissions than do animal-based foods. Research shows that you can reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that your diet contributes to climate change by up to 60 per cent, just by going vegan.

Embraced by nature
COMPLEMENTED by a natural bush setting, that is still only minutes from Hastings or Bittern, this superb country haven is set within a secluded garden oasis. The home has been crafted from 100 year old red brick and is surrounded by beautiful wisteria and other fl owering blooms, with the 8000 square metre block also home to an orchard and two fenced paddocks. A circular tree-lined drive loops around in front of the home, with a further access track heading up to a detached double garage and two other outbuildings – one with power. The most striking aspect of the home from the exterior is the mass of outdoor entertaining space
where a wonderful verandah, embracing the home on two sides, merges with a vast alfresco deck and a huge rotunda that overlooks the gardens. From the East wing, there is a massive parents retreat – or perfect home offi ce – that connects with the main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite. Two more bedrooms both have built-in robes and share a lovely character-fi lled bathroom with spa bath, and a separate study could be a fourth bedroom if required. Other wet areas include the huge laundry with a brilliant amount of bench and cupboard space. The timber kitchen is framed with hand-crafted tiles acting as splashbacks and
appliances include a dishwasher and wall oven. There is a handy amount of bench and cupboard space also and the wonderful thick benchtops bear the marks of many a fabulous meal. There is an adjoining dining area, and the lovely family room has a charming open fi re place set into a brick feature wall. As with most rooms, the formal lounge has a distinct colonial infl uence with sash windows and dramatic leadlight and timber fi nishes. Blessed with a wonderful rustic touch, this idyllic property is your opportunity to obtain a peaceful country lifestyle on the peninsula.

RATEPAYERS are reminded that unless all rates are paid on or before the 10th of June, they will not be entitled to have their names placed on the ratepayers’ roll. In order to facilitate payment the rate collector will be at the following places on the under mentioned dates:—5th and 6th of June, at Hastings, 7th and 8th at Frankston, 9th and 10th at Somer-ville.
***AT the recent examinations in music of University Conservatorium, Miss Rose Farmer, pupil of Miss T. Carter, was successful in gaining a pass in pianoforte, Grade V.
***THE Rev A. P. Mc’Farlane will be in-ducted to the Parish of St Paul’s this evening by the Rev Canon Hart, M.A. The ceremony will commence at 7.30 o’clock (not 7 o’clock, as previously announced). Special singing will be rendered by St Anslem’s choir.
***THE friends of Mr Robert B. Kitson will regret to hear of his death, which occurred at Frankston on Saturday last, the cause being acute bronchi-tis. The remains were interred in the Frankston Cemetery on Monday afternoon, Mr H. Gamble, having charge of the funeral arrangements.
***THE Jumble Fair, opened last eve-ning in the Somerville Horticultural Hall, will be continued tonight, open-
ing at 7.30 o’clock, when there willbe a large number of attractions, including hoopla. As the function is given by the local Red Cross Society,and the funds are to be de-voted to Red Cross purposes, there will doubtless be a hearty response to the appeal.
***SPECIAL services in aid of Home Missions have been held during the week in connection with the Method-ist Church in this district, the Rev B. W. Heath, of Armadale, was the dep-utation, and preached at Frankston and Somerville on Sunday to good congregations. Public meetings were also held at Tyabb,Somerville, Lang-warrin, and Frankston during the week.
***MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti, on Mon-day next, when in consequence of the heavy yarding they will commence to sell at 12 o’clock sharp. In addition to their own yarding they will also sell on account of Messrs Pickford and Mc’Donald, of Flinders, their choice dairy herd of Ayrshire, and Ayrshire grade cows and heifers. Also pedi-greed Ayrshire bull. A full list appears in our advertising columns.
***BOTH the steeplechasers, Nilka and Zepheron, appear to be quickly re-gaining their form after their extend-ed spell. From the “Herald” notes, on horses in training, we see Zepheren is doing good work on
the Flemington tracks, whilst Nilka on Saturday last, won the Adelaide Kensington Steeplechase in a com-mon canter.
***MR Jolly, of Frankston, has evidently and rightly, we should say too, a big opinion of Frankston’s future. At the land sale held at Frankston on Sat-urday last, no fewer than six of the twenty-fi ve allotments offered were booked to Mr Jolly, who in the last few years has locally purchased, we understand, no fewer than 114 local allotments, including a local house.
***AN important auction sale will be held on the property at half past 3 o’clock on Saturday next, by order of Mr F. Dory, of “Fleetwood,” on theMornington Rd, one and a half miles from Frankston, consisting of about 10 acres of land on which is erected a charming villa residence. The proper-ty is highly improved, and accommo-dation provided for 2000 fowls, and numerous other conveniences. The auctioneers are Messrs Stewart and Wood, of 46 Elizabeth St, Melbourne.
***THE movement to erect a monument in memory of those who have enlisted from Frankston and district has been received very favorably. The commit-tee has sent out a number of circulars soliciting subscriptions towards the object, and an appeal also appears in our advertising columns. It now rests with the public to show their appre-ciation of
the services rendered by our brave lads by donating liberally and well, so that a monument worthy of the cause may be erected.
***SOME remarkable features, are con-nected with the death of Mr Robert Henry Athorn, a farmer of Swan Hill district, which occurred on Saturday last. Some time ago deceased had an accident, of which he had previously dreamed. Then later, he dreamed that he had met with another accident, which had proved fatal, and he even saw himself in his coffi n. So im-pressed was he with the dream (or warning), and bearing in mind the fact that the fi rst dream had come true, that he straight away went and took out insurance policies to the extent of between four and fi ve thou-sand pounds. Deceased was only 47 years of age and leaves a wife and ten children.
***THE increase in Gemany of suicide among lads under sixteen is said to have drawn a special circular let-ter to the municipal authorities from the German Home Secretary. If the increase is so considerable as he suggests, the evil must be appalling indeed, for even in pre war times Ger-many had the unenviable distinction of producing more child suicides than any other country, her average num-ber of self-infl icted deaths among children under sixteen being over 600 per annum. In time of peace over pressure in the schools was consid-
ered the chief cause of these unhappy deaths.
***“PODARGUS” in the “Great South-ern Star,” writes:-Keen competi-tion in the butchering business has resulted in a temporary reduction in the price of meat. One butcher in a Gippsland town has lost much trade by a rival having set up opposition and confi ded to his minister that he saw nothing for it but to “shut up shop.” The clergyman suggested that he should try the effect of prayer. A week passed, and the minister, chancing to pass the butcher’s shop, found him radiant with delight, “Well,” said the cleric,“Did you try the power of prayer?” “Oh yes.” was the reply, “I prayed the very night you left me, and a couple of days later the beggar up the street broke his neck.”
***AN accident occurred on Saturday afternoon on the Hastings road, near Frankston, through a cart fi lled with wood and a jinker coming into colli-sion. It appears that the animal in the wood cart was driven by Mr Farmer, and when descending a hill got out of hand and bolted, colliding with a jinker driven by Mrs Rodgers, who was thrown out, and had her collar-bone broken, and was severely shak-en. Mr Farmer was knocked about a good deal, but fortunately no bones were broken.

TASTE OF SORRENTO
Historical, seaside Sorrento is again hosting its mouth-watering food, wine and beer festival during the fi rst weekend in June, and it’s set to be the best yet.
The program includes a variety of gastronomical delights including masterclasses, cooking demonstrations, tutored tastings, degustations, gourmet menus, foodies’ market and more, all in the heart of Sorrento village. Starting Thursday evening and continuing throughout the weekend, a variety of gourmet lunches, dinners and classes will take place in restaurants, cafes and even the demonstration kitchen in the “Taste” marquee hosted at the Claret & Co (previously Three Palms) courtyard at 154 Ocean Beach Road.
Taste of Sorrento is proud to play host to several highly-acclaimed chefs and food writers in this year’s event, who’ll present masterclasses not to be missed. Just a few of these include:
• Jacques Reymond – Michelin star and three-hatted chef
• Adrian Li (pictured) – Saigon Sally
• Adam D’Sylva – executive chef at Coda and Tonka in Melbourne
• Paul Mercurio – chef, author and TV presenter
• Bob Hart – food writer, broadcaster (3AW and the Herald Sun), chef, author (Heat And Smoke, 1 And 11 – Mastering the Dark Art
of Real Barbeque)
The highly popular foodies’ market and “Taste” day will be extended in 2016 to feature across 2 days! From 10am to 3pm on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June, producers, provedores, wineries and brewers will put out their best gourmet supplies while a series of demonstrations are provided in the Marquee kitchen. With music and kids’ entertainment fi lling the street, it will be a great day for tasting, sipping, listening and indulging in the best that Sorrento and the Mornington Peninsula have to offer.
With many more interesting boutique activities all set in a spectacular, historic seaside village only 90 minutes south of Melbourne, or a relaxing 40 minutes by ferry across the bay from the Queenscliff, Taste of Sorrento is a great way to treat the senses and embrace all that winter has to offer.
A full event program is available at www.tasteofsorrento.com.au, or you can download the Sorrento – Live the Life app from the App Store or Google Play to make direct bookings and fi nd event locations.
Brought to you by the Sorrento-Portsea Chamber of Commerce and proudly supported by Searoad Ferries, with thanks to sponsors Mornington Peninsula Shire, Tourism Victoria, Bayside Automotive Group and the Mornington Peninsula News Group.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt THE MPNFL Peninsula Division sea-son effectively became irrelevant on Saturday at Wooralla Drive.
Frankston YCW travelled to Mt Eliza for a top of the table clash.
What resulted was an embarrassing 94 point drubbing.
The Stonecats are just so much bet-ter than any other team in the competi-tion right now.
That’s something the Stonecats’ brainstrust won’t want to hear, nor the rest of the competition.
However, it’s reality. Let’s take the gloss off the promotion of the compe-tition and admit what the whole footy community thinks.
Frankston YCW are unbackable favorites for the fl ag and every other team in the competition is playing for second place.
The Stonecats were missing the likes of Anthony Barry and Jack Mazurek from its best 21 while the Redlegs got a few back, including skipper Sam Gill.
The likes of Rob Turnball and Ben Landry were the only real notable ab-sentees from the Redlegs’ best 21.
However, despite being at almost full strength, the Redlegs were still beaten by almost 100 points.
The Stonecats arrived looking for a challenge and walked away with yet another insipid performance from an opposition, especially in the second half when they booted 10 goals to two.
The fi rst half was a reasonable con-test in general play, however, the visi-tors made the most of their opportu-nities throughout, converting almost half of their 58 forward entries.
The Stonecats had 33 scoring shots to just 14 with David Bodley booting six goals, Anthony Bruhn kicking fi ve and Paul Minchington four.
Kyle Hutchison and Tony Lester dominated through the middle of the ground and BJ Credlin controlled the back half. The even spread made it dif-fi cult to select a best player.
It was easy to fi nd Mt Eliza’s best. James Freeman booted three and worked tirelessly in attack, Matt Lillie competed well in the ruck and Dave Barton and Rohan Heasley tried hard around the ground.
Matt Jackson had just four posse-sions and Matt Stanley didn’t do a lot other than kicking three goals.
The Mt Eliza experiment with play-ing Justin Van Unen higher up the ground has simply got to come to an end. The Redlegs have zero fi repower up front and they have the best full forward in the competition playing on a wing. The opposition would just love that.
While I don’t believe that the score-board of 23.10 (148) to 8.6 (54) was a true refl ection of the difference be-tween the sides, it is frightening to think that the top of the table side can smash the second best side the way they did.
There simply isn’t a weak link in the YCW line up and they won’t lose a game in 2016.
Karingal withstood a second half
challenge from Chelsea to get over the line by just two points.
Once again, the Seagulls had more scoring shots than the opposition but failed to convert. They lost 9.10 (64) to 10.6 (66).
The Bulls led by 34 points at the midway mark of the match before the Gulls hit back with a fi ve goals to two point third quarter.
The last quarter was an arm wrestle
with the Bulls causing an upset.Pines’ Guy Hendry and Aaron Ed-
wards booted fi ve goals each in their 18.11 (119) to 12.11 (83) victory against Seaford.
With Luke Potts dominating through the middle of the ground, the Pythons gave plenty of supply to their front half and they converted.
The margin was four points at half time but the home side booted eight
goals to four in the third to blow the game apart.
Bonbeach made it three wins on the trot with a 6.8 (44) to 2.3 (15) victory against Langwarrin.
The Kangaroos were restricted to just one goal in each half, while the Sharks booted three each hour.
Jackson Sole was outstanding for the winners while Mitch Cuthbert was very good for the Kangas.
Edithvale booted four goals to one in the fi nal quarter to overrun Morn-ington 11.15 (81) to 10.13 (73).
Mark Meehan was outstanding for the winners with six goals in a best on ground display, while Chris Wylie and Stevey Mannix were outstanding.
Chris Baker and Jimmy Cameron were among the best for the Dogs.
Frankston YCW favourites for Frankston YCW favourites for flag, as the rest play for secondflag, as the rest play for second
Kangas devoured by Sharks: Langwarrin failed to fi re,
scoring just 15 points for the match against Bonbeach.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt THERE are only six teams who can win the MPNFL Nepean Division fl ag in 2016.
One of the clubs that simply can’t win it is Rye.
The Demons were smashed for the second week in succession on Satur-day by Frankston Bombers and you can imagine that the wheels are about to fall off.
It’s crisis time at RJ Rowley Reserve.The Demons were insipid against
Sorrento two weeks ago in front of a packed house, including the 2006 Pre-miership side.
On Saturday at Greg Beck Oval, they were humiliated by 75 points – that’s disgraceful.
What’s worse is there didn’t seem to be a lot of players who actually cared.
The Demons are teetering on the edge.
Their Under 19s were belted by 199 points and they average about 13 points a game. The junior program is on strug-gle street compared to its neighboring clubs and its best players won’t be around beyond this season.
The club continually looks to open the chequebook and top-up with ‘out of towners’ who have zero loyalty and add no cultural value to the footy club. You could reel off a scrapbook full of them.
The same faces are running the place in 2016 as the ones who were doing it 20 years ago – heaven help them if legends Mick ‘Kicka’ O’Rourke and Scott Beel decide enough is enough and throw it in.
The Rye Football Club needs to sit back, take a deep breath and decide where they want to be in fi ve years. At this rate, they won’t be around.
They need to invest in their juniors – forget about buying in fi ve players at $6000 a week. Invest that in a junior program and rebuild the footy club.
Right now, the Demons are not build-ing a club, they are simply trying to remain relevant. At the minute, they aren’t even that.
Rye has won just two games this sea-son and are now losing touch with the top bracket.
Devon Meadows, Pearcedale, Dromana, Crib Point and Tyabb are the other teams who can’t win the title.
There’s not a lot between the top six though it appears.
Frankston Bombers booted 19.16 (130) to 8.7 (55) against Rye.
Sam Fox and Michael Maiorino booted four each for the winners while
a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard.
Harry Whitty and Kyle Lynch in the ruck were the best of the Demons.
Sorrento opened up a gap on the lad-der with a solid 11.12 (78) to 7.8 (50) victory over Red Hill.
Scott Lockwood played his best game for the Sharks with four goals and was really strong around the con-test, while James Brigden continues his outstanding season as a key defender.
It was a wonderful contest, however, the Sharks were just a bit cleaner with the footy and took their opportunities.
For the second match in succession, Tyabb has lost a match by less than a kick.
At the halfway mark of the last quar-ter, the Yabbies led by a goal after Theo Oostveen goaled.
However, goals to Jayden Sullivan reduced the margin to a point and Chris Doria put the Devon Meadows in front at the 24 minute mark of the last. The siren sounded two minutes later.
Rosebud moved to fourth place on the ladder with a commanding 43 point win over Pearcedale.
Tom Baker was back for the Buds with Casey having a bye and domi-nated with fi ve goals, while Ben Dwyer was superb in the ruck.
Pat Heijden and Dylan Hoare were the best of the Panthers.
Somerville bounced back with a 13.19 (97) to 7.8 (50) victory over Crib Point.
Tommy Shaw was outstanding at one end for the Eagles with six goals while Scott Simpson dominated at the other end.
Paul Smith and Mornington recruit Daniel Vercoe were the best of the Pies while Dean Warry was outstanding with three goals.
Hastings gave Dromana a fi ve goal head start before booting 12 goals to two in the fi nal three quarters to win 14.14 (98) to 8.11 (59).
Dan Noble played his best game for the Blues for a couple of seasons with three goals while Nick Gray was out-standing again with three majors also. Luke Hewitt, who was emergency for the MPNFL Sharks last week, was best afi eld.
Terry Wheeler and Beau Cosson were the best of the Tigers.
The Tigers have been very disap-pointing considering the talent they have in the team.

Pines duo banned, Baxter pair to front tribunalPines duo banned, Baxter pair to front tribunalSOCCERBy Craig MacKenzieTWO Frankston Pines players were given lengthy suspensions by Foot-ball Federation Victoria’s tribunal last week.
Laban Stringer and Jordan Avraham were found guilty of involvement in a brawl that disrupted the National Premier League clash at Lakeside Stadium between South Melbourne and Melbourne Victory on Sunday 24 April.
It is believed that Stringer and Avra-ham were with an extreme group of Victory fans, known as Northern Ter-race, who charged South Melbourne fans in the second half forcing the referee to halt the match until order had been restored.
FFV hired an investigator whose report resulted in 17 individuals being issued with MP10 “other misconduct” charges.
Some of those charged are current players with Football Federation Australia ID numbers and some are former South Melbourne juniors, one of whom was identifi ed by his grand-father who was one of South’s crowd control stewards on duty that day.
Another one of those charged is understood to coach and referee at junior level.
MP10 charges fall outside the mandatory sentencing structure of most offences and the penalty is at the discretion of the tribunal or FFV.
Stringer and Avraham were charged with bringing the game into disrepute; instigating and/or participating in a violent melee; illegally entering the
fi eld of play and engaging in miscon-duct; and “aiding, abetting, procuring, encouraging, assisting or arranging with other person(s) to engage in misconduct.”
Both players entered guilty pleas.Stringer has been suspended from
playing until 24 May 2017 and sus-pended from attending fi xtures (other than as a player) until 24 May 2019.
Avraham has been suspended from playing until 24 August this year and suspended from attending fi xtures (other than as a player) until 1 Janu-ary 2018.
Both players must complete an FFV Respect & Responsibility course prior to recommencing playing.
Only six of those charged attended the hearing and the 11 absentees were banned for fi ve years from any involvement in the sport including playing, spectating, coaching and
refereeing.Stringer and Avraham fronted the
tribunal without legal representation against the better judgement of Pines president Gary Hodgson.
They now have to decide whether or not to go to appeal knowing that this opens up the possibility of receiv-ing a more severe penalty.
The Lakeside incident was captured on CCTV and South immediately arranged a social media campaign inviting people to come forward and identify those involved.
Stringer and Avraham are former Peninsula Strikers players and a jun-ior match between South Melbourne and Strikers had been arranged for half-time in the senior game at Lakeside so there was an unusually large Strikers contingent in attend-ance many of whom would be able to recognise the duo.
Eventually 21 people were identi-fi ed and their names provided to FFV, Football Federation Australia and Victoria Police.
A spokesperson from Victoria Police’s media unit confi rmed late last week that an investigation into the Lakeside incident is ongoing and may result in charges being laid.
Meanwhile two Baxter players have each been given 16-week suspensions after both received two red cards in a spiteful State 5 South derby clash with Rosebud Heart at Truemans Road Recreation Reserve two weeks ago.
Midfi elder Liam Kilner and striker Mark Pagliarulo will front the tri-bunal on Wednesday night to argue against the severity of their punish-ment.
Non-attendance will automati-cally increase their suspensions to 24 weeks.
The catalysts for the melee that erupted just before half-time and threatened to spill off the fi eld were Baxter’s reactions to a controversial decision that allowed a goal by Heart striker Dave Greening to stand and a tackle by Heart midfi elder Craig White that went unpunished.
In the ugly scenes that ensued Pa-gliarulo and Kilner were sent off for violent conduct.
Pagliarulo became involved in a slanging match with Heart head coach Scott Morrison as he left the fi eld and was given a second red which formed a 12-week component of his suspension.
Kilner’s second red was for his
reaction to being sent off which involved a verbal stoush with White and Heart’s team manager, who had charged onto the fi eld and was yelling at Kilner.
As with Pagliarulo, that second red card earned Kilner a 12-week suspen-sion.
It is believed that Baxter will not challenge the initial red cards issued to the duo which earned each of them four-week suspensions.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard
HASTINGS FNCHASTINGS Football/Netball Club had a fantastic weekend on and off the fi eld with all three football sides having great victories against Dromana Foot-ball/Netball club.
Our C Grade netball team had a draw and unfortunately our B Grade girls only just went down.
Off the fi eld we had Neil “Knuckles” Kerley come and visit the club with his good mate John Schultz, former Brownlow Medallist, in what was a ter-rifi c lunch time event with “Knuckles” not disappointing.
We are so lucky to have had these two men visit and thank them for tak-ing the time out of there busy schedule to be with us.
Then in the evening the club had our black tie Gala Ball which was such a fantastic evening for all the players and their partners, with every one scrub-bing up so well, held at the Morning Racing club with everyone having a ripping night.
Seniors ReportON Saturday we started off really slowly and we ended up being six goals to two down at quarter time.
It was important not to panic and just peg our way back into the game going
into the main break. We did that and then ran away with
the game after half time with Dromana only kicking two goals after quarter time.
It was a great team effort by the boys. They really dug deep and increased the intensity at the contest. I think it was our best win for the year as it showed a lot of grit.
Reserves ReportFOR the reserves Saturday was a must win game to keep our season alive.
We got off to a good start in the wet conditions but Dromana were still in the contest.
In the second quarter our pressure dropped and Dromana took control of the game with their run and carry.
We managed to turn the game into a grinding style of match and we were able to get across the line by fi ve points.
Well done to the boys but there is a lot of improvement to be done.
Best afi eld: Chris Biviano, Ben Schroen, Christian Sewell
Under 19s Report DROMANA came to play but as a team we were confi dent that we could match them. A last minute player withdrawal meant that we went into the game with 17.
We welcomed back Matt Foy and immediately it paid with him leading strongly and producing our fi rst goal.
Aaron King in the ruck was giving our midfi eld fi rst use, Kayne Lewis and Peter Megee clearing the ball and forc-ing the ball into our forwards.
In the second the boys lifted the work rate, Kaylen Jansen on the wing was uncatchable and had several long runs which resulted in perfect delivery for-ward resulting in goals.
Jack Winton playing at CHF and changing into the ruck was fantastic at pressuring and tackling the opposition forcing turnovers. Confi dence was high at half time.
In the third Dromana dominated the play holding the ball in their forward zone but luckily for us were unable to convert. The backline once again was fantastic with Ben Procter and Jack Abrehart sending the ball back our way time and time again.
Going into the last with a lead, the boys backed themselves in for the win by playing in our forward half for most of the quarter. Andy Jeffs and Jesse Shore were giving great support to Matt Foy who was dominating up forward.
After holding off a late Dromana challenge we ran out winners for the fi rst time this year! Well done and well deserved boys.
The most pleasing thing was to see the boys work hard together and have the belief that they could win.
Best on the day: Matt Foy with 7 goals. Jack Winton, Kayne Lewis, Pat Langdale Peter Megee and Luke Mcveigh
Netball Report THIS week it can safely be said that we made it through the day without any drama in facing Dromana.
Coming off the bye week our B Grade girls struggled to switch on, adjust to the conditions, and the wet weather seemed to dampen their spirits too.
Our inexperience as a team and exploration of player combinations seemed to highlight our fl aws across the team.
Even though there were patches of great play and ball movement down the court, it was an overall disappoint-ing day for our B Grade girls, but we’re motivated to meet this coming week head on.
Special mention to Bec Blackney who didn’t let an injury slow her down in playing out all four quarters.
Candice Urquhart took feedback on board and put it into action improving throughout the game.
And a fi nal special mention to Emma
Smith who is naturally targetted with her height above most on the court, however this week she faced a new battle, a mentality battle, encountering comments from the sidelines.
She came out in the second half with an inspiring readjusted attitude and converted more shots.
Now onto our C Grade girls’ match who achieved our fi rst points for the season, coming away with a draw.
They played a great defensive game against Dromana, keeping their score low in the very wet and slippery condi-tions.
It was a great reward for the C grade girls for all their hard work and com-mitment to training.
Special mention to the game changer Grace Williams, who was relentless in defence. It wasn’t just her intercepts and rebounds that got her noticed but in addition her controlled ball movement through the court into the offensive end, exhibiting her best game for the year by far.
Great work C Grade, exciting times ahead.
***Next Game Hastings FNC vs Rye FNC at RYE let’s make sure we all get down to Rye to support the club.

Blues prevail in testing encounterBlues prevail in testing encounter
CRIB POINT FNCBy Jared NewtonNOT a happy day for the Pies as all teams went down against their feathered rivals from Somer-ville.
The seniors were highly competitive without fully threatening with avenues at goal again being the biggest issue for the Pies.
With Dean Warry back in the side the Pies looked much more potent up forward and he delivered with three majors.
The Pies never gave up and poor kicking from the Eagles kept Crib in the game for much of the day before some late goals put a gap between the two sides.
There’s no doubt there is some good footy be-ing played by the seniors, the issue has been they haven’t been able to sustain it for long periods and when teams have got on top, they’ve scored heav-ily on them quickly.
Paul Smith continued his good form for the sea-son with a great game at CHF, Brad Arnold was also solid in the middle. Matt Hogan put in his best game for the Pies at Full Back and Danny Vercoe who was rewarded with his good form in the re-serves found plenty of the ball to solidify his spot in the seniors.
The reserves possibly played their most disap-pointing game for he season with a 16 point loss to Somerville.
After going goal for goal in the Lee Koerner Cup for the fi rst half, Crib decided to throw their disci-pline out the door, lose the plot and in 10 minutes of madness played themselves out of the game.
The only thing that will stop the reserves from being a good side is themselves if they let pressure overcome them in the tough games.
Despite the negatives, there were a few bright spots including periods of excellent defensive pressure but the wet, windy weather made for slip-pery conditions as the offensive side of the game never really got going.
Lee Koerner was best on ground in a points deci-sion from Cal Campbell giving the side plenty of drive from the backline.
The Under 19s played a solid fi rst half before be-ing completely overrun to go down by 58 points.
The unders had all the play early on but couldn’t sustain the pressure for four quarters.
Will Larkin was BOG and birthday boy Harri Dekleuver who still owes me a beer was solid with two majors.
