In 2009 the Labor state government secretly backed plans to mine, dry and export 12 million tonnes of brown coal from the Latrobe Valley each year to India and Japan for its power stations. The Baillieu government could be pressured to reverse its policy on the old refinery site at Crib Point, one of only two places in Australia with va- cant industrial land next to a deep water jetty.

By Mike HastEXPORTING of dried brown coal is the heavy industry most likely to be set up at Crib Point on the old BP refi nery site on The Esplanade.
The News reported two weeks ago the Baillieu government’s existing policy is for no heavy industry at Crib Point (‘Industry eyes Crib Point’, 24/7/12), but growing demand for en-ergy to drive developing economies could overwhelm government restric-tions.
Last week the federal and Victorian governments announced a fund of $90 million for new brown coal technology projects in the Latrobe Valley includ-ing for export.
The governments have chipped in
$45 million each for companies devel-oping technology to dry brown coal and converting it to fertiliser as well as fuel such as briquettes.
In 2009 the Labor state government secretly backed plans to mine, dry and export 12 million tonnes of brown coal from the Latrobe Valley each year to India and Japan for its power stations.
The Baillieu government could be pressured to reverse its policy on the old refi nery site at Crib Point, one of only two places in Australia with va-cant industrial land next to a deep water jetty. The site is jointly owned by Shell and Exxon Mobil through a company called Crib Point Terminals, which has no plans for the site.
The key to the project is removing
moisture from Victoria’s brown coal, the “wettest” in the world. When “de-watered”, the brown coal can compete in the export market at comparable prices to black coal.
(High moisture content is the main reason the state’s three major power stations are said to be the dirtiest car-bon emitters in the world.)

VICTORIAN Governor Alex Chernov and his wife Elizabeth were at Toorak College, Mt Eliza, for the offi cial in-duction of new principal Helen Car-mody.
Mrs Carmody is the school’s 15th principal and follows the four-year tenure of Noel Thomas who resigned in mid-2011, fi ve months before his contract ended.
Mrs Carmody’s appointment “marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Toorak College, its staff, pupils, par-ents and local community”, a school news release stated.
At the induction service, Mrs Car-mody spoke about her past experienc-es and her previous position as head of learning and teaching at Sydney’s Kambala Girl’s School.
Mrs Carmody said she was a “fi rm believer in the maxim healthy body, healthy mind, and here at Toorak Col-lege we invest in developing well-round young women who thrive in all
aspects of life, from academia, through to sport and community spirit”.
“Toorak College instils in young women the value of being a posi-tive thinker, by fi lling their lives with meaningful participation and the right attitude,” Mrs Carmody said.
“I hope to lead by example and show these women that anything is possible if you are true to yourself and set your sights fi rmly on a goal.”
Mrs Carmody said she envisaged turning Toorak “from a great school into an even greater one” and seeing an increase in the “prestige” associ-ated with being a Toorak College old girl increase.
In May, Mrs Carmody outlined a process of “re-imagining” and devel-oping “our vision for the future”.
“This vision will become a con-scious and ongoing initiative that aims to predict and meet the challenges fac-ing our children now and in the com-ing decades.”
When announcing his resignation in July last year, Mr Thomas told staff that he became principal in 2007 “un-der unusual circumstances”.
“No position was advertised. We were still in the midst of merger nego-tiations with The Peninsula School,” said Mr Thomas who had been with the school for more than 25 years.
“Although it was not widely known at the time, I agreed to take the po-sition on until the end of 2008, not sure whether it would morph into something else like campus head – or simply disappear. Everything about Toorak College in those days felt un-certain to me.
“As we know, the merger didn’t hap-pen. We remained a proud independ-ent community and we made plans.
“I was privileged to be invited by the board to stay on until the end of 2011 so that their vision and the planning we then had underway could come to fruition.”

Applause fornoise wallsTHE fi rst noise walls along Peninsula Link have been installed at Carrum Downs.
When fi nished, about 20 per cent of the freeway will be fi tted with the walls to reduce noise along its 27-kilometre route.
The installation of the fi rst section of noise walls was seen as a milestone by the Parliamentary Secre-tary for Transport, Edward O’Donohue.
Mr O’Donohue said the noise walls were the fi rst of about 5.7 kilometres of walls to be installed along the new freeway.
“A lot of effort is going into making this road look good for motorists and the surrounding community, and the noise walls are just one component of Pe-ninsula Link’s unique urban design,” he said.
“The noise walls also play a very functional role as they reduce the level of traffi c noise for the adja-cent residents.”
Mr O’Donohue said some of the noise walls on the freeway included a heavy duty and environ-mentally friendly plastic – polyethylene or “poly panels”.
“Peninsula Link is once again setting a bench-mark, as these new walls offer benefi ts to the envi-ronment and the community.
“The poly walls are good news for local indus-try as they are being manufactured at a factory in Carrum Downs, supporting local jobs and reducing travel to the site.”
Volunteers neededVOLUNTEERS are being asked to help sew quilts for the Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Medical Centre.
The Snuggly Quilts group meets about four times a year, with volunteers taking along their own ma-chines and lunch.
“We have the materials and cotton,” organiser Betty Smith said.
The next sewing day is 9.30am-3pm on 18 August at the community centre in High St, Hastings.
For details call Ms Smith on 5979 3770.
FRIENDS and supporters gathered at Hickin-botham winery in Dromana to farewell Russell Ardley who resigned in June from Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises.
Mr Ardley founded MPYE nearly two dec-ades ago, and since then has helped many at-risk young people successfully make their way into mainstream society.
Dunkley MP Bruce Billson described Mr Ard-ley as “a wonderful man whose commitment and compassion has helped countless people recover lost lives and young people at risk of falling be-tween the cracks”.
Mr Ardley is a former Mornington Peninsula Shire citizen of the year.
“Russell was personally touched by the harsh reality that for some of our young people fi nd them in the grips or at risk of substance use, al-cohol abuse, anger and mental health issues or at war with the law, themselves and those around them,” Mr Billson said during the farewell on Saturday 28 July.
“Russell recognised that to get people back on track, they needed time to fi nd peace with them-selves, support without judgement, a guiding hand and an ally who would stay the course and help carve out pathways to a more positive and productive life.”
Mr Billson said Mr Ardley’s “vision” had made MPYE “a place where a community came together to offer its best to help its own most in need”.
Mr Ardley had “displayed an incredible re-sourcefulness to fi nd a way of maintaining sup-port in the face of very modest funding”.
“Above all, when others had given up, Russell was there,” Mr Billson said.
“Always selfl ess, giving fully of his time and generously of his own funds for so many years, Russell carried MPYE and the dozens of young people on his shoulders with a compassion and commitment that was infectious.
Bowing out: Russell Ardley, fourth from left, is farewelled as head of Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises by, from left, Mt Martha Rotary Club president Elizabeth Celi, MP Bruce Billson, Mt Martha Rotary Club secretary Merv Williams and Cr Anne Shaw.

“He has help nurture productive citizens out of dozens of young people who had gone off the rails and were beyond the reach of other recovery services.
He has given broken loved ones back in better shape to their families and with a posi-tive outlook on future life prospects; he has helped to green our peninsula with native plant propagation that supported community revegetation programs; and he enabled the many MYPE volunteers to be their best selves
through the help they were able to provide others in need.”
Mr Billson said every few years he was al-located a fl ag to be fl own in the House of Rep-resentatives. “I have presented one of these fl ags to honour veterans’ service and one to Dame Elisabeth Murdoch on the occasion of her 100th birthday and one to Russell Ardley for his outstanding community service, com-mitment and compassion in creating and sus-taining MPYE.”

Environment
By Mike HastPRESSURE is mounting on the De-partment of Sustainability and En-vironment (DSE) and Parks Victoria over the decision to not build predator-proof fences around Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve.
Frankston Council is the latest body to lobby the state government’s two environment agencies to reinstate the plan to build fences to protect wildlife – including the iconic southern brown bandicoot – in the Frankston North re-serve, now divided in two by Peninsula Link freeway.
At its most recent meeting, all Frankston councillors agreed to lobby DSE and Parks Victoria as well asthe state government freeway author-ity Linking Melbourne Authority, Environment Minister Ryan Smith, Planning Minister Matthew Guy, Transport Minister Terry Mulder, and area MPs Geoff Shaw (Frankston)
and Jude Perera (Cranbourne).DSE and Parks Victoria have been
working behind the scenes to alter a federal government permit require-ment issued under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conser-vation Act 1999 for the freeway to cut through the reserve.
DSE and Parks claim building the fences at a cost of $1 million and main-taining them for seven years at a cost of $600,000 is wasted money and the agencies want to divert the cash to oth-er areas of Victoria where bandicoots exist in greater numbers.
It was revealed last month that recent attempts to fi nd bandicoots in Pines Reserve had been unsuccessful.The $1.6 million for Pines Reserve fences came from the consortium building the freeway, Southern Way, a condition of DSE allowing it to go through the reserve.
The money is held by Linking Mel-bourne Authority, a state government
authority, and the condition was set by the federal government’s Department of Environment.
Blame for this was laid on DSE and Parks by conservationists. They said DSE and Parks had not done enough to remove predators such as cats and fox-es as well as exclude domestic dogs.
An unlikely champion of Pines Re-serve wildlife is Cr Colin Hampton, who at the council meeting on 24 July moved the motion to lobby for the fences.
Conservationists had previously seen Cr Hampton as unsupportive of Pines Reserve wildlife as he was a strong supporter of the freeway going through the reserve.
“I’ve said for some time that for Pines Reserve to be a sustainable place for bandicoots and other native ani-mals, feral animals must be removed and predator-proof fences built,” he said.
“I’ve been playing golf next to the
reserve for more than 20 years and have seen feral cats as big as beagles prowling through the bush as well as many foxes.”
Cr Hampton said DSE studies had “reinforced what they always wanted to do – not fence Pines Reserve and spend the money elsewhere”.
“I don’t agree with DSE and Parks Victoria; if we fence the reserve, it can sustain a population of bandicoots, al-though we will have to reintroduce them.”
He said it all boiled down to the dol-lar, and DSE and Parks Victoria’s bud-gets.
“Look at what was achieved at Cran-bourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens when it was fenced. Bandicoots are thriv-ing.”
He said dogs had to be excluded from the reserve. “There are 36 places in the City of Frankston for walking dogs.”
Cr Brad Hill seconded the motion: “The reserve could be labelled ‘fauna
forfeited’ as it appears DSE and Parks have no interest in preserving wildlife. If it is a reserve with no animals, they will have to spend less money on it.”
Frankston’s world-renowned zoolo-gist Hans Brunner, who has studied the southern brown bandicoot for more than 35 years, is a trenchant critic of DSE and Parks Victoria’s management of Pines Reserve and its bandicoot population.
“It’s been revealed DSE and Parks made the decision to not fence the re-serve in 2008. So why was the freeway builder required to build underpasses for wildlife in the reserve?”
He said the reserves could be repop-ulated with as few as 20 bandicoots. “They breed like rabbits. An area of Wood lands Historic Park at Tullama-rine was fenced, feral animals removed and dog excluded, and now there are more than 600 bandicoots.”
Call for bandicoot protectionCall for bandicoot protection
REMOTE sensor cameras have captured pictures of 32 native animal species living in parks throughout the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.
The Signs of Healthy Parks program being run by Parks Victoria is used to determine the health of parks by monitoring the plants and animals that live in them.
The cameras also fi lmed introduced species living in Point Nepean and Mornington Peninsula national parks and Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve.
More than 100 locations were surveyed in habitats varying from heathland and coastal scrub to wood-land and creeksides.
The results were “surprising and very pleasing”, according to Parks Victoria’s Mark Antos, who helped design the survey.
“We picked up dozens of rare long-nosed bandi-coots at a lot more sites than expected, as well as white-footed dunnarts on the coastal strip, and even some unexpected Lewin’s rail birds at fi ve sites. They can be very diffi cult to fi nd because of their secretive habits.
“I guess we thought that after 10 years of drought, a lot more urban development and constant pres-sure from cats, dogs and foxes there wouldn’t be a diverse range or good numbers of these vulnerable little creatures around.
“But we’ve been pleased to fi nd that they’ve been breeding up again with the recent good seasons.”
Mr Antos was “almost certain” a rare native broad-toothed rat was fi lmed.
Investigations are being made to confi rm the animal’s identity.
“It’s never been recorded on the peninsula be-fore,” Mr Antos said.
“However we did see lots of introduced black rats at many sites. These aggressive rodents can raid birds’ nests and eat eggs and young hatchlings as well as native mice and baby mammals.”
Rosebud-based Parks Victoria ranger Louise Bra-cy said the fi ndings of the survey were a reminder of how the peninsula’s “local native residents” could be protected.
“Don’t wander off walking tracks, observe dogs on lead signs, keep cats locked in at night, and don’t leave food scraps around to encourage rats and foxes,” she said.
“There’s been a lot of emphasis on hooded plovers along the water’s edge where dogs and humans have a real impact, but there are also lots of other animals living on coastal strips between car parks and beach-es, like wallabies, dunnarts and bandicoots.”
Parks Victoria’s environment team leader Daniel Hudson said the survey results would help guide future planning.
“It will really help us to make the best decisions on issues like where best to do ecological burning, what are the most important areas in a park for fox control, and which locations we need to protect from heavy use by visitors.”

By Keith PlattIT took wildlife carers three days to catch up with a pelican fi rst spotted swimming off Seaford beach tangled up in a fi shing line.
The hapless bird was struggling and unable to fl y because it was held fast by a large fi shing hook, heavy gauge line and a 155-gram lead sinker.
The fi rst sighting was on Saturday 21 July, but it was not until the in-jured bird had three days later made its way up the Patterson River that it was caught seeking refuge under the Wells Rd bridge.
One day later it was dead.“It had a big skin tear on its wing,
which was open to the air and con-tained a lot of fl uid,” wildlife carer Gill Donath said.
“The vets checked it out and gave it a dose of antibiotics, but it was too late.”
The pelican was the latest report of marine animals and birds being entan-gled in lost or discarded fi shing gear.
Ian Gondos, who responded to the fi rst call about the pelican, said anglers should not cut hooked birds free.
“Carefully and quietly bring the bird in and unhook them,” he said.
“The pelican’s bill should be handled with great care as it is not very strong and cannot be fi xed once broken.
“Pelicans are not armed with any weapons that can injure you, however many sea birds use their sharp bills to spear fi sh so please wear glasses and wrap a towel around the bird to control it then you can get at the hook.”
Mr Gondos and Ms Donath are mem-bers of AWARE (Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Education).
Ms Donath, who runs a wildlife shelter at Langwarrin South, said she had earlier this year spent fi ve weeks
caring for another pelican found in dis-tress under Rosebud pier.
“It had a head injury and was unable to keep its balance,” she said.
“The veterinarians gave it three courses of antibiotics but it was unable to preen itself and was losing its water-proofi ng.”
The bird was transferred to a wildlife centre at Phillip Island but had to even-tually be euthanised.
Ms Donath said this was a “quiet time” of the year for injured animals, although she was now caring for four young possums, a galah, a corella, a
rosella and two eastern grey kanga-roos.
All the animals in her care were vic-tims on one way or another of “impact by humans”.
The possums had been orphaned when their parents were hit by cars, one of the kangaroos had been found tangled in a fence, the corella and rosella were injured on the road while the galah had been grabbed by a dog in a leash-free area.

THE Carinya Residential Aged Care Service on Golf Links Rd, Frankston, has received top marks from the federal government-appointed Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency.
The accreditation process involved a two-day audit of all aspects of the way the unit is run and the care being given.
The service must meet all 44 expected out-comes to pass.
Surveyors from the agency described Carinya as having a “very calm feeling in the home and that residents and families were very impressed with care provided and felt secure and safe”.
“A residential care service that is not accredited cannot admit residents and if the failure to meet standards is ongoing it cannot operate,” aged care operations director Alison Watts said.
Peninsula Health chief executive Dr Sherene Devanesen said the accreditation was a “wonder-ful result that demonstrates the excellent care that the team provides to our residents”.
Carinya residential aged care cares for elderly members of the community who have dementia or mental health diagnoses and cannot be man-aged in generic nursing homes due to behavioural issues.
The 30 residents live in three home-style units, each of which is specialised to their needs.
“Due to the progressive nature of each resi-dent’s mental health problems combined with advancing age, they are unable to live at home anymore and require a higher level of medical and psychological care than normal aged care fa-cilities,” nurse unit manager Cheryl Graham said.
Passing the test: Carinya nurse unit manager Cheryl Graham, left with Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency surveyors Jenny Salmond and Angela Scarlett.

EMU received the following last Friday, which is printed in full and was not solicited:
Dear Mr Emu,Having read the Western Port News for some
time, and closely followed your columns, and that of other contributors, especially the article by David Harrison on 31/7/12 (superannuation debt), I now wish to add my feeble ratepayer’s voice in protest about what we ratepayers get for our rate dollar, or don’t, as the case may be.
I know I do not have the fi nancial skills to be able to lose so much of ratepayers’ money in a venture such as the Pelican Pantry, and then be able to argue it was a success. Rather, I am one of those who is destined to be a careful money manager who cannot get into debt.
We used to be taught that you cannot spend more than you earn, and borrowing means you have to pay more back eventually. I understand this fi nancial approach is now old hat. I also understand that we ratepayers now need another fi nancial drain called the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre to be built on the foreshore of a huge “Aquatic Port Phillip Bay”. Go fi gure!
In a year when there are council elections due, can you please explain to me, and other ratepayers, why any of the current councillors should be re-elected, and also why the executive team at the shire should not be placed in a position where they are more accountable and paid a wage more suited to their “abilities” – and maybe ban the wearing of bow ties!
I know that Emus do not put their head in the sand to avoid criticism; it’s ostriches that do that.
Mr Emu, all I want from the shire is to have them fi x big potholes within 12 hours, smaller ones that I call “shock absorber smashers” within 24 hours, and to put a suitable mix into the hole or on road edges that will stay there like it used to, years ago.
I also would like the shire to look after sports grounds, reserves, roads, drains, culverts, trees and even some planning, and to do a thing called
“ongoing regular maintenance”.Callers to shire customer service should never
hear the words “We can’t get to fi x those for at least a month” in late July for calls made about the problem in the middle of May.
I don’t want to pay for “welcome to country” ceremonies or for biosphere, climate change, green, women’s and men’s groups or anything that state and federal governments are responsible for.
We don’t need a magazine called Peninsula Wide telling us how great they are; instead, we need one called Peninsula Disasters. Maybe someone needs to set up a website for “MPSC disasters” (maybe not such a good idea, it would jam up the internet).
Mr Emu, please stand for council (and wear a bow tie if you wish) and get all the other marsupials and birds to also stand. We could not do worse – and remember you and Skippy are on the coat of arms, not white elephants.
I guarantee you would all win council positions, hands down. The current councillors should hang their heads in shame because the money they are committing to spend is not actually theirs – it belongs to that endangered species: “ratepayers” –, and their decisions beggar belief.
I am willing to bet that if councillors were made directors of a board, and fi nancially liable, they would act differently. Surely one white elephant is enough on the foreshore at Hastings, without committing to another at Rosebud foreshore that will take us further into massive debt.
A ratepayer’s lament: fix roads, rates and rubbishA ratepayer’s lament: fix roads, rates and rubbishI believe if you were running the show, tip
fees would be more reasonable and this would prevent the piles of rubbish adorning our byways.
I also believe you would ensure council staff, whose superannuation is a huge fi nancial drain on us, would be made to either lift their game or
suffer the fate a lot of other Australians are now facing – the sack. Performance-based contracts; that’s what we need.
Please, Your Emuship, stand for council and leads us poor buggers forward. Your country and ratepayers need you!

By Keith Platt and Mike HastFRANKSTON Council is working hard to avoid delays in approving the new headquarters for South East Water on the banks of Kananook Creek.
While no designs have been pro-duced, council has already signalled it is prepared to wave its own height lim-its to accommodate the needs of South East Water’s 700 staff.
Like any major development idea over the past decade, this one is be-ing seen as a silver bullet to encourage other projoects in central Frankston.
Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, who in July beat council by two hours in is-suing a news release about the South East Water project, says construction is expected to start early next year and be completed by 2015.
If correct, completion of the new building will coincide with the end of the lease on South East Water’s Heath-erton offi ce, which will be closed along with offi ces at Dandenong South and Lynbrook.
Mr Shaw says the “win for Frank-ston” followed 18 months of discus-sions “and the development of a strong business case”.
However, Cr Glenn Aitken says “good long-term planning is being sac-rifi ced to get this deal through”.
“A good proposal but wrong location.”The new building will be sand-
wiched between the creek and the rear of the Landmark building, stretching from Wells to Playne streets.
It will be higher than Landmark and end the bay views now enjoyed by its tenants.

New horizons: The existing Landmark building will be obscured from views of the foreshore if the planned new South East Water headquarters gets the go ahead. Picture: Keith Platt
chosen for the building is owned by council, although it will not say how much it will receive for the prime site.
South East Water reverted to being a statutory authority on 1 July and as such will not pay rates.
Cr Aitken says housing staff from South East Water’s three existing of-fi ces in one building “has obvious economic benefi ts for Frankston”, but believes the new headquarters is being rushed through on the wrong site.
He says council’s adopted planning policies envisage tall buildings being
sited closer to the railway station in Young St, dropping to “a more human scale” toward the creek, Long Island and the beach.
Managing director of Commercial Property Services Rogan Ward said South East Water “will be a bloody good thing for Frankston”.
“It will have many spin-offs, includ-ing for retail and restaurants.”
Mr Ward said there would be no planning obstacles caused by the new building blocking views from the Landmark building “in fact it will
probably mean Landmark can be fully tenanted for the fi rst time”.
Frankston Council’s acting CEO Jane Homewood said the South East Water headquarters would “contribute $115 million a year to the local econ-omy”.
She said the building would be set back 13 metres from the creek walls and “may be higher than the Landmark building”.
Ms Homewood foreshadowed that council could at some stage build a multi-storey car park and until it was
developed, parking would be provided on the Dimmeys site on Nepean High-way.
She said Frankston had won a “hotly contested bid” to bring South East Water to the city, but would not reveal how much council would receive for the land.
Cr Aitken’s concerns are being ech-oed by several community groups, which have already met with Ms Homewood, the mayor Cr Brian Cu-nial and councillors Aitken and Chris-tine Richards.
Speaking after the “inadequate” briefi ng, Hilary Poad of Long Island Residents Group accused council of being secretive.
“We had an hour and council offi c-ers used most of the time explaining the project. Just a few of us were able to ask questions, which were not an-swered to our satisfaction,” Ms Poad said.
“This proposal has the whiff of the fi asco over the CAD redevelopment in Beach St in the early 2000s. It’s to be hoped history is not being repeated.”
Also at the briefi ng were representa-tives of Kananook Creek Association, Frankston Beach Association and Friends of Frankston.
Ms Poad says a better place for South East Water would be council-owned land near the intersection of Beach St and Fletcher Rd close to the railway station.
“In the council’s structure plan, it is earmarked as the site for a gateway building and is larger than the Kana-nook Creek Boulevard site.”
By Mike HastNEXT year’s Asia Pacifi c Ironman Championship in Frankston will be better planned than the inaugural event in March, Frankston Council has promised.
Analysis of the strengths and failings of the event were presented to council-lors at their most recent meeting.
The report stated it was an overall success, but traffi c management as well as notifying residents and motor-ists travelling through Frankston about road closures had been inadequate.
“The event resulted in signifi cant traffi c diversions and congestion” and was a major concern, the report stated.
“The impact of traffi c congestion has the potential to restrict the level of emergency and medical services ac-cess to Frankston and the peninsula if the 2012 traffi c management plan was relied on in the future.
“However, steps are being taken to improve traffi c management and all emergency services continue to be ac-tively involved in ... discussions.
“The proposed route change for the 2013 bike leg is seen as a key to im-proving traffi c congestion.”
The opening of Peninsula Link would also improve traffi c fl ow.
The council wants to see traffi c ar-rangements for next year’s event three months beforehand.
The report was neutral in detailing congestion that occurred on Sunday 25 March, but the council was hit with a truckload of complaints after some drivers spent hours in gridlock.
Many motorists were furious over the long delays. Nepean Highway and EastLink tollway were closed to vehi-cles, which created chaos on the roads
Better Ironman traffic plan promisedBetter Ironman traffic plan promised
Early birds: Competitors in the Asia Pacifi c Ironman Championship head into Port Phillip at Frankston pier in March for the 3.8km swim leg. The council has promised it will be better organised next year after major traffi c jams spoilt the inaugural event.
and made it a miserable day for many.The council encouraged residents
and volunteers to write to local news-papers praising the event, but other residents were critical.
The Times reported community stal-wart Pat Bentley of Frankston South, a member of Frankston Beach Asso-ciation, dubbing it an “Ironman traffi c debacle” (‘Iron will needed in traffi c jams’, 29/3/12).
She said the council had much to an-
swer for, “causing such awful mayhem with lack of traffi c management”.
“If you lived south of the CAD, bad luck. No detour signs, no police, an emergency vehicle gridlocked and cars stuck for hours in an enormous traffi c jam with thousands of angry drivers, of which I was one.”
The council received 53 written complaints, 50 about traffi c and three about negative impacts on business. It received 19 letters of congratulation.
The ironman consisted of a 3.8km swim along Frankston’s waterfront, a 180km bike ride winding its way through central Frankston and up East-Link tollway, and a 42.2km run from Frankston waterfront up Nepean High-way to St Kilda.
The council report stated about 30,000 spectators and supporters saw the start and “then dispersed to various locations”.
The report did not reveal the event’s full cost to council, but it spent $25,000
on entertainers, tables, chairs, mar-quees, VIP function, “advertising and communications” and signs.
“Ironman provided a $30 contribu-tion per volunteer sourced by coun-cil, as a result a contribution of nearly $9000 will be made to the Frankston Community Fund.
“Event organisers and owners (Iron-man/USM) and the state government are liaising with all key stakeholders to ensure the event is even better in 2013.”

The galley-style kitchen has a large recessed area suitable for a fridge and there is plenty of bench and cupboard space. The slightly elevated, 641-square metre block is quite wide and a large pergola is an excellent feature. A keen gardener or landscaper could work some magic and create a very pleasant outdoor area incorporating the entertaining space.

Western Port News 7 August 2012 PAGE 25
SOLD OUT!
By Shirley DaviesRESEARCHERS or people en-quiring into their family’s past regularly seek assistance of the Hastings-Western Port Histori-cal Society.
A recent enquiry about the Werner compressor at the Jack Babington Park in Hastings that used to be in the Somer-ville Cool Store received a re-sponse from the article in The News.
Quite often queries can be answered without appeals to a wider audience, but a recent enquiry seeking information about the Wild Man of Western Port is one the Hastings Mu-seum has no information about.
The Wild Man is part of the folklore of our state and the researcher would like to know anything about this creature.
The wild man story surfaced in the Geelong Advertiser and Squatters Advocate way back in 1847.
An account of the man (or animal) was given by Worrou-getolon, a native of the Woe-worong tribe.
The description was: “He is as big as a man and shaped like him in every respect and is cov-ered with stiff, bristly hair, ex-cepting about the face, which is
like an old man’s – full of wrin-kles. He has long toes and fi n-gers and piles up stones to pro-tect himself from the wind or rain, and usually walks about with a stick...”
In the 1840s the area south of Melbourne was often referred to as Western Port (for exam-ple, Dr Jamieson’s pastoral lease of IYU Station at what is now Pakenham was referred to as “Western Port”).
Men sometimes got lost in the bush and often survivors of shipwrecks took a long time to fi nd their way to civilisation.
Does anyone have any infor-mation or folklore that could be forwarded to the researcher?
Send to Shirley Davies, Hast-ings-Western Port Historical Society, PO Box 223, Hastings 3915.
Collectables appraisalTHE society is holding its an-nual antiques and collectables coffee morning at 10.15am on Thursday 9 August at Hastings Museum, Marine Pde, with Wendy Morrison of the Tyabb Packing Shed.
Wendy will appraise one item for each person.
The event is very popular. Wendy is able to give informa-tion about objects, which can
include jewellery, china, orna-ments, scrimshaw, watches, clocks and other family memo-rabilia.
Proceeds go toward one of the society’s projects and Wendy donates her time, and Bakers Delight of Hastings provides buns and scones.En-try is $5 a person. For details or to make a booking, call 9781 1141.
Discovery schoolTHE society is planning a “his-tory discovery school” on the weekend of Saturday and Sun-day 20 and 21 October includ-ing a bus tour of the area on Sunday with lunch at Coolart Homestead and Wetland.
A deposit of $25 is required. Full cost of $75 covers morn-ing and afternoon teas, lunch on Saturday, seminar on Satur-day with guest speakers, dinner on Saturday evening with guest speaker, morning and after-noon teas on Sunday and lunch on Saturday as well as bus trip.

HISTORY
FRED Renouf celebrated his 100th birthday at the Baxter Retirement Village on 6 March. The following month he broke his arm in a fall and died on 28 April. When Fred was 96 his family urged him to set down his reminiscences. Here is the last part of his story.
Part Seven
LAND was the only thing I knew and it led me to many ventures. I had 300 pounds invested in Commonwealth bonds at 3 1/8 per cent and when I wanted to draw out 100 pounds to build the new house, I only got about 75 pounds. This was my profi t from the orchard that my father had banked for me while I was in the army. I was never taken in like that again!
Daughter Cheryl was late arriving and my front tooth, which had a gold fi lling, developed an abscess. I put up with it until at last the time came to take Evelyn to hospital. I then went to a dentist in Mornington and lost my golden smile!
We had been wanting a new house for years and at last we had a local builder lined up. The timber arrived but it was another 18 months before a nail was driven. Then when the frame was nearly up he announced there was not enough timber for the roof structure. Alec had some old gum trees on his property, which were cut down, dragged to the road with a bor-rowed tractor, picked up by the local sawmiller, and cut into the required lengths for the roof. And so, after near-ly three years, the house was fi nished. Then followed many trips to the city for carpets and furnishings. In 1953 we had a house warming at which Neal sang Bless This House. In those days we never locked the doors of the house, even when we went away for a few days.
About this time we bought a second-hand caravan and had many happy holidays at Torquay (with the Palmers, Evelyn’s family), but mainly at Rose-bud. From the latter I was able to slip back to the orchard. At times we left the caravan there while other members of the family and friends spent time in it. In 1960 we went further afi eld, to Port Campbell, only for Marilyn to leave her appendix at the hospital in Timboon.
In 1953 I bought a three-ton Dia-mond-T truck secondhand, and was then able to do most of the fruit carting to the cool stores at Tyabb and Hast-ings. This often involved three loads of 150 cases: two loads to Tyabb and one to Hastings. Tyabb closed for tak-ing fruit at midday and Hastings at 1
o’clock. One morning I was hurrying to get the fruit into the Hastings store. The cases were stacked eight high and I was at the top of the ladder but took an extra step that wasn’t there. I land-ed on the fl oor, still holding the case, and surrounded by apples. I injured my back and was ordered to bed by the doctor. I could not afford to do this in the middle of the fruit season, and went instead to a chiropractor. Over the years I went back to him a number of times, with good results.
In 1954 Ron Hogarth came look-ing for a job. He’d had a dairy farm at Lang Lang but his wife had died leaving him with two young children. He came to Hastings and lived along-side his sister-in-law, who was able to help him with the children. We always had our hot meal in the middle of the day and Ron shared it with us. Evelyn usually made scones or cakes and at morning and afternoon tea times she would come down to the orchard in the fruit picking season with a billy of tea for all hands.
When the Jonathons were ready to pick, Ron would scout around and have three or four other helpers from the naval base to help pick on Satur-days. Ron Hogarth stayed with us for about seven years, and looked after things so that we could take holidays. He was a most enthusiastic worker. I still remember him with gratitude as he would set the pace and oversee the pickers.
We did not have electricity until some time after our house was built and so we had a wood stove. I went up and down Graydens Rd enlisting people who were willing to contribute to getting the power on. It was great when we just had to fl ick a switch and there was light.
In 1954 we built a cool store to hold about 7000 cases of apples. Pears had to be stored at a cooler temperature so they were taken to the Tyabb Cool Store. Having a cool store on the prop-erty meant that I could pick fruit in the day and stack them in the store at night. It also meant that we could pack
the fruit at night for market.In 1956 the Olympic Games were
coming to Melbourne and Evelyn and I were sold on television so we made haste to buy a set. At the time we were both playing tennis on Saturday after-noons and on this particular Saturday the other team did not turn up. We went home only to fi nd about 20 of our friends had let themselves in and were watching the Games on our TV.
By 1960 we divided the sales of our fruit between Brisbane and Mel-bourne.
Big trucks, and later semi-trailers, would call on Friday afternoon and load up for Brisbane and the fruit would be in the Brisbane market fi rst thing on Monday morning. The fruit for Melbourne could be sent three mornings a week for 3 shillings a case, which included carting, selling and empty case return.
At the rear of our Graydens Rd prop-erty we had a neighbour who did not like the fact that the water draining off our property was taking its natu-
ral course and draining onto his. He threatened to build a big brick fence along the boundary line and stop it. Fortunately our other neighbour, Charlie Hodgins, allowed a pipe to go onto his property and drain the water away. When the disagreeable neigh-bour died, there was an unsuccessful auction. I then made an offer that was accepted. It was about 85 acres with quite a nice house on it. I subdivided off 20 acres with the house and sold it, keeping the 65 acres that adjoined our orchard. It was quite a reasonable price and I would not have thought of buying it if there had not been the wa-ter problem.
In 1967 there was a severe drought and I got Ron Gleeson to drill for wa-ter. At fi rst we tried close to the house in Graydens Rd, but there was only a trickle of water. So we tried again on the property I had bought at the back of the orchard and found a stream with a fl ow of 2000 gallons an hour. Char-lie Hodgins helped me lay a three-inch poly pipe and supplied a diesel engine

to pump the water about a kilo-metre. Charlie and I shared the water. I had developed a system that allowed me to water each apple tree, giving them about 200 gallons every two weeks. It involved quite a bit of labour, but it was responsible for our success in growing fruit.
During this time Evelyn was busy working for Save the Children Fund and the Coun-try Women’s Association. She made all the girls’ clothes in-cluding their wedding gowns, going away outfi ts, brides-maids’ dresses and dresses for her mother and herself to wear to each of the weddings. This was quite remarkable as their weddings were only six weeks apart.
At the age of 62 I received a good offer from a speculator so I sold the orchard and a paddock of 55 acres.
When I sold I had the right to stay there for two years. At the time there was a half-grown crop of fruit and Peter took over the working of it with the prop-erty that I had bought for him on the other side of Graydens Rd. When I fi nally left I gave all my equipment – tractors, spray pump and fruit bins to Peter.
After leaving the orchard we bought a place on 14 acres on Jones Rd in Somerville with lovely views over Western Port. Then I bought another 100-odd acres on the corner of Stumpy Gully and Dromana roads, thinking that Peter might like to continue the orcharding tradition after me. I planted 30 acres of apples with up-to-date varieties, but he did not like the
idea, so I had it cut up into four blocks. I sold three, one to Ron Hogarth at cost, and then sold the one I had developed.
I also bought 10 acres with a good view on Yal Yal Rd in Merricks as another possible re-tirement property.
Eventually we built a lovely home on three-quarters of an acre in Two Bays Rd, Mt Eliza.
In 1975 we transferred from the Tyabb Methodist Church to High Street Methodist in Frankston and for a number of years we held a garden party for UNICEF at our place.
These were only discontinued when Evelyn’s health deterio-rated. She passed away in 1985. Ten years later, when I was 83, I decided it was time to make preparations for my old age. Accordingly I bought a unit at the Baptist Retirement Village at Baxter. I have always loved growing fl owers and from my plot at the village I have been able to supply the High Street Uniting Church in Frankston and the village care units.
During my years living at Mt Eliza I went into cattle raising. I bought and sold several proper-ties, the last one being 80 acres on the Baxter fl ats and which I could see from Two Bays Rd. I continued raising cattle there, eventually subdividing into four 20-acre lots. The last one was sold when I was 90!
The Christian journeyTHE fi rst thing I can remember my mother teaching me to say was the Children’s Prayer (Gentle Jesus meek and mild, look upon this lit-tle child...).
In November 1919 I was attending Tyabb Railway State School and all the students were presented with a Peace Memorial New Testa-ment. The Reverend Banks, a Church of Eng-land minister from Hastings, used to visit and give us Christian education. He would draw a map of Palestine on the blackboard and tell us stories from the Bible. I guess that was the be-ginning of my interest in Israel. About this time a Mr Norman Lumsden conducted a mission in Tyabb and many people made the decision to follow Jesus. The Renouf clan, though much younger than the rest, decided to join them. Neal, only four at the time, cried because he could not sign the decision card so my mother held his hand.
Tyabb seemed to be the spiritual centre of the
district after this and many attended the Upwey Convention (later called the Belgrave Heights Convention). There was no Methodist Sunday School in Tyabb in the early days so we attend-ed the Church of England Sunday school held in Tyabb Hall. I remember singing Hear the pennies dropping, Listen while they fall, Every-one for Jesus, He shall have them all.
When we had to learn the beliefs of the Church of England and name our godparents, we left. My mother then started a Sunday school at Tyabb State School (No. 3129), which continued until 1936. By then I was helping and taking a Sunday school class. At this time cars were becoming commonplace and Mrs Floyd (sister-in-law of Dr A E Floyd, the organist at St Paul’s in Melbourne) was the superintendent of the Sunday school at the Methodist Church.
In 1929 we had a minister for the Frankston circuit (Reverend B E Williams) who came twice a month on Sunday nights and we formed a Christian Endeavour, which later spread to Carrum Downs, Somerville and Langwarrin.
Reverend Williams was a very happy Christian and we sang choruses and hymns from Alex-ander’s hymn book. The choruses and songs still live in my mind and are a great source of strength to me after all the years.
I don’t think I missed a weekly meeting in eight years and became secretary after a man named Arthur Harris left the district. While in the Christian Endeavour I went to a number of state conventions: in Geelong, Ballarat and a world convention in Melbourne. As a matter of course, I also attended the Christmas Upwey Convention.
When I was in the army I had a little book Daily Light, which had two Bible readings for each day of the year. As it was my habit to read one of these texts before retiring each night, one of the boys in the tent gave me the nickname Gunga Din (the name of Rudyard Kipling’s poem: “You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din”). Alec when he joined me got “Uncatin”.
In fact from the time I fi rst made the promise in Christian Endeavour, I have made a habit of
reading from the Bible every day.There were seven churches in the Frankston
Methodist circuit and four of them had two services every Sunday. One result of Christian Endeavour at Tyabb was that there were at least seven young men, three of whom were Ren-oufs, who helped to maintain these services. After the war I resumed my responsibilities, sometimes taking two services on a Sunday. By this time I had a cool store on my property in Graydens Rd and was working long hours, of-ten after tea, packing fruit for market or loading fruit into the cool store.
However even before church union people were demanding ordained ministers and that meant the closure of some churches. Where the church was once the centre of the district, with the advent of Sunday sport and television, there was a decrease in Sunday school and church at-tendance generally.
With the advent of the Uniting Church I be-came an elder and visited those who were allot-ted to me, mainly in the country.
The fl ower man: Fred had a lifelong love of gardening, and was recognised for his service in supplying fl owers to the local church.

By Stuart McCulloughDUST off the saddle. Strap on the riding boots, prepare the bridle and slip into your best pair of jodhpurs. While you’re at it, oil up the spurs and fi x your preferred crash helmet fi rmly to your noggin. Why? Because it’s time to get on the high horse. And once fi rmly seated astride that mighty steed, I plan to ride that thing into the sunset; its hooves cracking against the bedrock of reason and logic, together we will gallop great distances until all those who resist us collapse with ex-haustion.
There’s nothing I love more than a little bit of righteous indignation. Frankly, any excuse that I have to get up on my high horse is welcomed. It used to be that I assumed an air of moral superiority only in the most pressing of circumstances. However, I have noticed a disturbing trend in which I will immediately seek refuge on the high moral ground with the slightest provocation.
Take my ring tone. I don’t particu-larly remember how it was that I set-tled on the ringtone for my mobile. For all I know it’s the default setting. But as far as I’m concerned, its default status has been well earned and de-serves a little respect.
Recently, however, someone else in my immediate offi ce area has adopted the very same ringtone. I consider this an act of absolute barbarism. It means that I am forever thinking that my phone is calling my name from vari-ous geographical points.
There should be rules against such acts of naked aggression. Or, if not rules, then an unfettered right to re-
taliate. Granted, I could probably reset my ringtone but why should I?
Or, for that matter, how do I?While I realise that kids today
change their ringtones as frequently and as easily as they change their shirts or violate international copyright law, these are things to which I have given the scantest of scant attention.
Previously, I never really gave any thought to my ringtone. Now it is all that I think about. I hear it in my dreams.
At fi rst I thought that I would do as everyone else seems to do and set up
a website to protest my cause, www.stopusingmyringtone.com.
I’m yet to get any hits as such and the forum page remains as empty as the world’s loneliest bar. Clearly, the power of the internet has been great-ly overstated. There must be another way.
It is diffi cult to know how to settle such a dispute. The days of challeng-ing others to a duel are, largely speak-ing, behind us.
Even an invitation to “paper, rock, scissors” can be regarded as inappro-priate for the workplace. Instead, I am
left to trot gently by, fi rmly seated in my saddle, nose aloft as the ringtone that sounds a lot like mine echoes across the offi ce.
If only my desire to seat myself on the elevated equine was limited to ring tones.
Recently, a sticker appeared on my milk that declared it was “permeate free”. I was unsure if this meant that the product contained none of the sub-stance in question or whether I was getting a supply of permeate for noth-ing. As some kind of a bonus.
The sticker did not see fi t to explain. Despite this scarcity of information, I was supposed to know whether having permeate in your milk was a good or bad thing. I don’t recall being taught anything about permeates in school. To me it sounds like a particular kind of hairstyle from 1987. As I recall, back then, all the girls in my class had remarkable permeates. I can picture them now, hair aloft and reaching for the ceiling in our school photo. But if a permeate is not a hairstyle, then I am offi cially fl ummoxed. They assume I know too much.
If there’s one thing that gets me on my high horse, it’s assumed know-ledge. In fact, more than just putting me on my high horse, it also gets my goat. This, of course, becomes quite diffi cult, as trying to restrain a live, belligerent goat on an equally hostile thoroughbred is no easy task. In fact, it’s so diffi cult that I have begun to resent it.
And resentment is something that totally gets my gander. It’s not just the fact of getting my gander as much as what it does with my gander once
it’s in its nasty little hands. Those who take ganders that don’t belong to them are clearly a societal menace and should be stopped as a matter of priority.
Now on my high horse, balancing my goat and searching for my gander, which has been kidnapped by person or persons unknown, I am determined to get to the bottom of things. I am, in fact, like a dog with a bone. This frightens the goat, which immediately scarpers. The absence of anything re-sembling opposable digits means that the horse is now nigh-on impossible to control. This makes me feel like a complete goose. Having found my goose, I am still in search of my gan-der, albeit on a directionless nag that is wandering about the countryside. I tell you, it’s a state of affairs that has really put the cat among the pigeons. The goat, naturally enough, thinks this is hilarious.
All this mayhem because of a lousy sticker on my milk telling me that it is permeate free. It is clear what I should do. I must give up the gander, surren-der the goose, yield the goat and put the high horse out to pasture.
It is time to give it a rest, at least for a while. I should start by being a lit-tle kinder to myself, to various meta-phorical animals and, indeed, to other people. In fact, perhaps I’ll make some phone calls and cheer some people up. If they don’t answer, I’ll leave a mes-sage. I will, of course, turn my phone to vibrate. I suppose I don’t really need that ringtone after all. Not every battle is worth fi ghting. Not every af-front deserves the high horse.www.stuartmccullough.com

IN round 13 of football between Hastings and Crib Point under-13s, a medal to commemorate the memory of Jack Foy was awarded to the best on ground as judged by the umpires. The game was a great contest with Crib Point leading for most of the day, but Hastings managed to hit the front halfway through the last quarter and managed to hang on to win by three points. The game was played in good spirit. Matt Foy, Jack’s brother, deservedly won the medal. Both teams and offi cials are to be applauded for the respect displayed during the presentation. Congragulations to Matt.
Brian Tanner, President of Hastings Junior Football Club
PENINSULA DIVISIONBy Toe PuntBONBEACH was unable to maintain its run of good form when it came up against the best side in the business on Saturday, Frankston YCW.
The Sharks had a fantastic run of form in recent weeks, winning three of four games and going down to Karin-gal by just 10 points.
Bonbeach had worked its way up to fourth place on the ladder before the round 15 game against YCW. Obvi-ously, the team was hoping for a solid performance.
The fi rst time the sides met, the mar-gin was nine goals in favour of the Stone cats.
At quarter time on Saturday, Bon-beach had kicked four goals, but trailed by 16 points.
By half-time, the margin had blown out to seven goals.
In the end, the Sharks were fortunate to work their way back into the game and lose by 57 points.
Bonbeach coach Steven Capp told The News after the game that it was a pretty tough day at the offi ce.
“They’re a pretty good side I think,” Capp joked.
“Their big fellas got hold of us and there was little we could do about it.
“Our fi rst quarter was pretty good
and I thought we worked hard in the third quarter, but we just struggled to contain them all day.
“We weren’t overly surprised with the result.
“Their bottom fi ve or six players are better than most teams and that was the difference in the end.
“We lost concentration at times and their class showed through.
“We need a couple of monsters to be able to compete with YCW’s. Ash Eames and Brad Ulms really domi-nated. Eames’s tap work is as good as a handball.”
Michael Chaplin booted three goals for the Stonecats, and Ben Tellis, Da-vid Bodley, Kyle Hutchison and Lew Roberts kicked two each.
Anthony Barry provided plenty of run from half-back, and Paul Wintle and Dale Carroll also were instru-mental in the win.
Jason Ferraro and Tom Payton were among the Sharks’ best, and Shane McDonald and Jackson Casey also work ed tirelessly.
Mt Eliza bounced back from its horror defeat last week at the hands of Karingal to demolish Chelsea by 112 points.
The Redlegs had mixed fortunes leading into the game with the news that star forward Sam Lloyd had
agreed to join Bendigo Bombers in the VFL.
With AFL aspirations still there, Lloyd, who has booted 59 goals for the Redlegs this season, decided to try his hand with the Bombers.
However, the Redlegs had a stroke of luck following the Lloyd move.
Sandringham listed-player Michael Lourey asked for permission to head back to Mt Eliza to play out the rest of the year.
It is almost a straight swap. Both are goalkicking midfi elders, good over-head and hard at the footy.
On Saturday Lourey booted six goals in a dominant performance for the Red legs.
Scott Lockwood also booted six as the Redlegs amassed 41 scoring shots to 14.
Scott Simpson dominated through the middle for the visitors, and Dylan Emmons and Dave Barton continued their good form.
Mt Eliza went into the game without prime movers Rohan Heasley and Josh Norman. Both are expected back for the pointy end of the season.
Coach Jason Watts said he was pleas ed with the way his side bounced back.
“We had a dirty day last week against a very good footy side [Karingal],” he said.
“We were a bit fl at; they came to play and we didn’t.
“Today was about getting back to the basics, getting our structures right and trying a few different things.
“The reality is that we are a bit predictable to Karingal and we need to change that before we meet them again in the second semi-fi nal.
“Now is about gearing up for fi nals. The boys are going through a heavy training load at the moment and we want to be ready.”
Sam Carpenter was once again Chel-sea’s best player, and Scott McLeod and Chris Worner booted two goals each.
Karingal did the expected and com-fortably beat Langwarrin.
The Bulls booted fi ve goals to one in the fi rst quarter, led by 38 points at half-time and stretched this to 92 by the fi nal siren.
Chris Hay booted six goals and Michael Burke fi ve. Brendan Dunne, David Hirst and Troy Hoad continued their domination in the back line.
Dylan Luxa along with the ever-reliable Shane Urbans and Daniel Weh ner were the best of the Kangas.
Edithvale-Aspendale won its third game of the season when it knocked over Mornington by 20 points.
The Eagles got their noses in front
early in the game and were able to sustain the intensity over four quarters.
Nick Connellan and Beau Turner dominated for the winners, and Tim Mannix and Jordan Derbyshire also had good games.
For the Doggies, Kallum Searle, Daniel Villani with three goals and Byron Holt in the ruck all worked hard.
It was a great result for the Eagles, especially without captain Pat Poore, who was out due to suspension.
Pines made it four wins from its past fi ve matches with a sensational 22-point win over Seaford in the tradi tional Sunday clash.
The Tigers led by four points at half-time before the Pythons kicked seven goals to three after the main interval to record another win.
Seaford had everything to play for on Sunday, including a spot in the fi ve, but couldn’t dig deep enough and stop the likes of Brendan Neville, Jimmy Messina and Leigh Houldcroft, who dominated all afternoon for the Pythons. Shaun White was also solid with three goals.
Michael Kraska was the only multi-ple goalkicker for the Tigers with fi ve, and Luke Smith, Kieran Shaw and Luke Davenport were among the best.
Brother wins Jack Foy medalBrother wins Jack Foy medalIs there conflict?Is there conflict?IT will be interesting to see how long MPNFL club presi-dents put up with newly ap-pointed league chief executive offi cer Jeff Jones continuing his role as Southern Umpires Association chair man.
While many in the league community accepted the fact Jeff Jones would con tinue to umpires to reach 1000 games, I’m not sure how many would be as accepting of him manag-ing the league and the umpires association.
Surely the two bodies need to be independent of each other?
After all, the SUA is a ser-vice provi der to the league. If there’s an umpiring pay dispute before fi nals, does Mr Jones declare a confl ict of interest and remove himself from dealing with the situa-tion?
Surely Mr Jones needs to concentrate on the defi cien-cies and increasing issues that MPNFL clubs experience from day to day.
Jones told The News prior to the Sor rento and Dromana game on Saturday that it wasn’t a confl ict because the SUA role is voluntary.
For mine, that makes zero difference.
Lopsided Casey-CardiniaLopsided Casey-CardiniaWHAT a joke the Casey-Car-dinia divi sion has become.
In one of the most lopsided compe titions in MPNFL his-tory, it’s now a case of the
haves and have nots.And what about the goal-
kickers?Cranbourne full-forward
Marc Holt booted 22 goals last week against Hamp ton Park for a season total of 116.
Former Hampton Park and Pearce dale full-forward Ker-em Baskaya booted 13 goals on the weekend for Narre Warren to move to 109 goals.
Top of the table Narre War-ren is averaging 168 points for and 49 points against this season, while second-placed Cranbourne averages 156 points for and 53 points against.
At the other end of the scale, Hamp ton Park averages 30 points for and 188 points against.
Out for the season?Out for the season?SORRENTO premiership coach Troy Schwarze may miss the rest of the season it looked like he had busted his cheekbone on Saturday against Dromana.
For the second time this sea-son, Dromana’s Paul Minch-ington copped Schwarze with a fair hip and shoulder.
The fi rst time saw Schwarze miss weeks with a shoulder injury.
The hot rumour around the ground on Saturday was that he would be airlifted to the city immediately after the game to carry out his duties as an assistant at St Kilda Foot-ball Club.
Sorrento would not con-fi rm or deny this rumour on Sunday morning, al though it was reported as fact in a Mel-bourne daily newspaper.
However, a club spokesper-
son said Schwarze spent a few hours in Rosebud Hospital with what appeared to be a cracked cheekbone. Scans on Sunday were to determine the full extent of the injuries.
One in, one outOne in, one outMT Eliza is certainly in the mix for the 2012 MPNFL Pen-insula Division premiership.
However, VFL team Ben-digo Bomb ers has been on the heels of Redlegs gun Sam Lloyd to join them for a kick all season.
On Saturday, the forward-midfi elder took his opportu-nity at VFL level, con tinuing to live the dream of playing AFL.
The Bombers are obviously keen to have Lloyd for the remainder of the season with the outside chance of taking him in the next draft.
He has been training with the Bomb ers for the past four weeks.
While Mt Eliza coach Jason Watts is confi dent Lloyd will return for the Redlegs “at the pointy end of the season”, he was more than willing to allow Lloyd to follow his dream.
“He’s a quality player and it is a great opportunity for him,” Watts said.
Lloyd has booted 59 goals this sea son.
The news gets better for the Redlegs – they have been able to lure Michael Lourey from Sandringham, where he was coached by Seaford dual pre-miership coach Paul Kennedy.
Lourey booted six goals on a Saturday against Chelsea in what Watts described as a “quality performance”.

NEPEAN DIVISIONBy Toe PuntSORRENTO will be without ruckman Scott Cameron until the fi nals begin after he was reported in the last quarter in his side’s 37-point loss to Dromana on Saturday.
Cameron was reported by the goal and fi eld umpires after striking Tigers ruckman-forward Steven Gaertner.
Gaertner left the fi eld after the inci-dent, but returned to be a key infl uence in the game in the fi nal quarter.
It was tough day on the ground for the team of the year ruckman, who was comprehensively beaten by Tigers duo Gaertner and Seamus Thompson.
However, Cameron wasn’t the only player well beaten by Dromana on Sat-urday; there weren’t too many win ners for the Sharks.
Premiership coach Troy Schwarze left the fi eld in the third quarter and didn’t return after Paul Minchington split him down the middle for the sec-ond time this season. The fi rst time saw Schwarze miss a number of weeks with a shoulder injury.
On this occasion, it looked like he sustained a cracked cheekbone. He was due to join St Kilda in his role as an assistant at the MCG on Saturday night, but didn’t make it, spending hours in Rosebud Hospital.
Full-back Chris Bagot was vomiting prior to the game due to a virus, which also affected Josh Moore. Mitch Nibbs was a noticeable absentee.
Dalton Sanderson was probably the standout player, along with Leigh Treeby, and Kayle Stringer-Morris pushed hard all afternoon, but the day belonged to the Tigers.
Despite missing a couple a regu-lars, including Aaron Coyle and Scott Joyce, the Tigers were up and about from the start.
They won the contested footy all afternoon, their run and spread was too diffi cult for the Sharks to combat, and they had more players prepared to commit themselves at the contest.
Trailing by just 11 points at the fi rst change, Sorrento coach Nick Claring-bold told his charges to start getting in fi rst for the footy, get a little lower at the contest and tackle the ball carrier. The message was clear, simple and well delivered.
It seemed to be a consistent message in the backs, mids and forward huddles too.
However, the message must have gone in one ear and out the other.
Sorrento continued to look for the easy ball, didn’t want to get their knees dirty and paid the price.
Dromana had winners all over the ground. The Tigers started in the mid dle with ruckman Thomson and Gaertner. They controlled the air in the middle, around the ground and from boundary throw-ins. Sorrento’s second-string ruckman Jon Croad was the better of the two Sharks’ big men.
Terry Wheeler was easily best player on the ground. His ability to win the contested ball, outside ball, and run and carry was a feature of the match.
Rikki Johnston was outstanding in defence. He was pretty much left to his own devices, which was a poor tactic.
Jay Neratzoglou towelled up Ken-yon, Ryan Worn gave Leigh Poholke a bath, and midfi elders Damon Law-rence, Braeden Dennis, Liam Hogan and Ryan Slocombe had a mortgage on the footy.
This quartet is the engine room of the Tigers with the likes of Wheeler, a bril-liant Paul Minchington, Toby Banks and Co using their speed and skill to carve up Sorrento on the out side.
Jay Hutchison, Jedd Savage and Anthony Bruhn lead up all afternoon
and provided aerial strength as well as dominanting at ground level.
It was a comprehensive victory from Dromana. 27 scoring shots to 14 accu-rately refl ecting the dominance.
Dromana now has to keep a lid on things. All they have proven to this point is they have what it takes to mix it with the reigning premier. Finals and premierships aren’t won in round 14.
Coach Gavin Artico agreed, but said he believed the victory would be good for his charges leading into fi nals.
“At this time of the year, you want to be playing the best sides and being competitive against them,” Artico said.
“Confi dence plays a huge part at this time of the year and if you’re playing good footy, then it gives you the drive and motivation to keep doing the work.
“This has been a long and tough pro cess for everyone at the club, but I think we can all see it has been worth it.
“We have good depth, we all under-stand what it takes to win big games of footy and I honestly believe we still have some improvement to come.”
If the Tigers can improve, beating them from this point is going to be ex-tremely diffi cult.
It appears that both Dromana and Hastings have sealed a spot in the top three after the Blues knocked over Frankston Bombers on Saturday.
In what was a scrappy contest for most of the afternoon, the Bombers didn’t have the manpower in the last quarter to match it with the home side.
The Bombers lost Luke Lewis in the fi rst three minutes of the match and Haydn Moore before quarter time. Moore has been a standout performer for the Bombers this season.
Ryan Lonie also succumbed to injury and the Bombers were left with very few options in the fi nal term.
The Blues took advantage, booted
fi ve goals to one in the fi nal term and recording a 35-point victory.
Jason Kestle was a nightmare for the Bombers when he moved into the for-ward half and fi nished with three goals.
Paul Rogasch was outstanding across half-back, Daniel Wishart play-ed one of his best games for the season, and Mark Deveraux continued his out-standing season.
Jay Page played on a wing for the Bombers and was arguably the best player on the ground. Brian O’Carroll was good over four quarters, Brad Wake ling booted three and tried hard, and James Degenhardt fulfi lled his tag-ging role.
The Bombers remain outside the top fi ve and must win their fi nal two games against Somerville and Crib Point to have any chance of playing fi nals.
One club that would love nothing more than to prevent Frankston Bomb-ers playing fi nals is Somerville.
Eagles coach Leigh Stewart is a for-mer coach of the Bombers and the split wasn’t amicable, to say the least.
The Eagles were expected to just drift through the remainder of the sea-son and not have too much infl uence, but on Saturday, Somerville came from eight points down at three-quarter time to easily account for Red Hill to the tune of 21 points.
The Eagles booted seven goals to two in the fi nal quarter to win just their fourth game of the season.
Ben Sedgewick and Caleb Cox kick-ed three goals each for the Eagles, and Rowan Hogenbirk kicked two.
Will Jolley was outstanding for the Eagles over four quarters, Jason Bax-ter continued his outstanding run, and Justin Allsop continued to shine. Jed Sutton and Guy Austin also were very good. Stewart would have been happy to have these two for the majority of the year.
Red Hill was shellshocked. Daniel McNamara and Ben Maguiness work-ed hard, and David Maplestone kicked three goals.
Pearcedale moved off the bottom of the ladder on Saturday after compre-hensively beating Tyabb by eight goals.
The Panthers started the game full of running courtesy of the likes of Da-mien McCormack and Chris Fort nam, and Dean Jannsen slipped straight back into the good form he has been displaying.
At quarter time the Panthers had a handy 16-point break and extended this to 23 points at the major break.
McCormack fi nished the afternoon with four goals, and Daniel Murray enjoyed good supply and kicked fi ve.
Glenn Anderson was solid all after-noon, and Pat Cadd had some real in-fl uence on the contest.
Ash Watersone kicked four goals for the Yabbies, Andrew Driscoll booted three, and Chris Doria was outstand-ing once again. Ryan Jones and Simon and Ethan Rahilly also worked hard all afternoon.
Crib Point is still a mathematical chance of playing fi nals after defeating Devon Meadows.
The Magpies were superb all game to record a comfortable 45-point win.
Brad Davidson was at his mercu-rial best, fi nishing with six goals, Luke Herrington and Jon Flack each kicked three, and Zac Dekleuver played his best game for the club.
Devon was never in the contest, de-spite the efforts of Daniel Velardo, Jess Dehey and Brett Armitage.

Girl power: Zoe Mitchell has celebrated playing her 100th game for Hastings Junior Football Club. Zoe plays for the under-13s and is the fi rst girl to reach the 100-game mark at the club. The team has had a great season and will be playing in the fi nals.
By Mark BurtonANYTIME Fitness Somerville celebrates its fi rst birthday on Wednesday 15 August and John and his staff invite everyone to visit and share the celebrations.
The club will be open for visitors to come and have a look; even better, bring your gear and come for a free workout.
There will be activities and competitions, and surprise guest appearances during the week. It is also a great time to get a membership deal.
Since the Anytime Fitness Centre opened last year, it has increasingly become a part of the Somerville community.
Membership has grown steadily as more members join, then bring their friends and family members. Happy members and word of mouth has defi nitely been the key to the club’s success. Anytime Fitness has also formed close relationships with sports clubs, schools and businesses.
The club has always been roomy and bright, but has developed a real warmth and character as the membership has grown.
The club culture is friendly and respectful. People often comment on how mixed the membership is with members of all ages, fi tness levels and walks of life, and how it does not feel intimidating to walk in the door.
The spotless cleanliness of the club and condition of the equipment is in part thanks to the members also, they really look after their club.
Sean the cleaner does a great job, too. August is a big month in the fi tness industry
as people start to think about summer and shaking off the winter blues, but it is too cold outside to get the physical activity we need. Anytime Fitness is open 24/7 so there is always somewhere to work out.
To really kick things along why not sign up for a six-week fi tness challenge with individual and group personal training, a before and after assessment and personalised program.
These are great to do with a friend or meet new people in the group training sessions. Luke and Kylien are keen to get you moving toward your goals.

Round 20 PreviewsFriday 10 AugustWest Coast v Geelong, Patersons Stadium, 8.40pmTo kick off a pretty good week of footy, the Cats head west, looking to continue their recent scintillating form. Geelong, despite have one of the toughest runs home, hasn’t let anyone stand in its way. Three top-eight wins in three weeks, and in their last win, a goal after the siren from Tom Hawkins elevated their premiership chances another notch. The only negative was surrendering a nine-goal lead from the fi rst half. West Coast went down to a traditionally low-scoring Fremantle team by 65. Veteran midfi elder Daniel Kerr was excellent, racking up 36 touches, but didn’t have any support from his fellow midfi elders. On form Geelong should win easily, but something has to give for the Eagles.West Coast by 11 points.
Saturday 13 AugustSt Kilda v Melbourne, MCG, 1.45pmSt Kilda this week plays a rare home game at the MCG, and the club be looking to win as a loss will rule out fi nals chances. The Saints let a golden opportunity slip against Collingwood; they had the ascendency heading into the last term, but failed to maintain it.
Now, they’ve got to win all their games and rely on rivals to lose to make the fi nals. As for Melbourne, they had a relatively easy win against Gold Coast. With a game against the GWS coming up, they have a great chance of fi nishing the year in good spirits. Overall the Saints have more to play for. St Kilda by 64 points.
Adelaide v Fremantle, AAMI Stadium, 2.10pmIn another fantastic game in round 20, the top-two Crows play a Dockers side in striking distance of the top eight. The Crows produced a come-from-behind win against Essendon; Taylor Walker was a beacon of light in their forward line, kicking four goals and producing a few clutch marks late in the game. The Dockers were sensational in the derby against the Eagles; captain Matthew Pavlich is in career-best form and has kicked more goals than anyone this season. Michael Barlow and David Mundy are getting near the form they showed before injuries last year. This game is very hard to call, but the home ground advantage and the possibility of top spot should get the Crows over the line. Adelaide by 21 points.
Gold Coast v GWS Giants, Metricon Stadium, 4:40pmSaturday afternoon in Queensland presents a match between the two minnows of the league. The Suns were generally disappointing last weekend; it didn’t help losing Dion Prestia and Zac Smith early on, but they still had very poor fi rst and third quarters. The
Giants played their best match of the season, beating Port Adelaide by 34 points. If both teams are playing to win, the Giants would win easily on current form, but I don’t think GWS has a lot to benefi t from by winning this match. They want the number one draft pick and the loser here will almost certainly get it. The Suns need a confi dence booster and this is their chance. Gold Coast by 15 points.
Carlton v Brisbane, Etihad Stadium, 7.40pmWith the season coming to a close, the top eight spots up for grabs are dwindling each week, which doesn’t benefi t the Blues. On the weekend they were beaten by a much better side in Sydney. It was a game crucial to Carlton’s fi nals aspirations; now like a few other teams it has to keep winning and rely on other teams to lose. Brisbane has continued its losing ways, as players continue to run out of puff. They probably only put in one good quarter for the match and were consistently beaten in the midfi eld and they seem too Jonathan Brown conscious. Carlton must win this match; if not the consequences will be dire. Carlton by 24 points.
Sydney v Collingwood, ANZ Stadium, 7.40pmIn the match of the round, two top-four teams play for a mental edge heading into fi nals, where they will most likely meet. Collingwood has been Sydney’s bogey team for the better part of a decade; they haven’t won since their
last fl ag. This season is a different story with Sydney playing at its best and the Pies not looking as powerful as last year. However, Jude Bolton injuring his leg is a blow for Sydney, which relies on its in-and-under midfi elders. Another factor is the Swans generally don’t play well at ANZ Stadium and Collingwood has won seven of nine games at the ground. It comes down to who has the potential to play better and that is Collingwood.Collingwood by 2 points.
Sunday 12 AugustHawthorn v Port Adelaide, Aurora Stadium, 1.10pmIn Tasmania this weekend, the mighty Hawks will have a point to prove and hapless Port Adelaide will cop the brunt of it. The Hawks had a chance to break their Geelong hoodoo, but failed in a titanic battle. There was a lot to like about the game; at one stage in the second quarter the Hawks were behind by 50 plus points but managed to get in front by the last quarter. One thing I didn’t like was the lack of physical pressure from key defender Ryan Schoenmakers. Yes, he has improved out of sight this year, but it could cost him come fi nals time. As for Port Adelaide, what can I say? They lost to GWS. Hawthorn by 89 points.
Richmond v Western Bulldogs, MCG, 3.15pmSunday presents a game between two Victorian teams entrenched in the bottom 10 and with both their seasons over, they are playing for pride. The
Tigers got the job done against Brisbane in convincing fashion. A defender, Luke McGuane, proved a surprise packet up forward kicking three goals. For the Bulldogs, consistency was the enemy; they put in a great fi rst half, but faded against North Melbourne. They certainly aren’t afraid of blooding youngsters; they added two more on the weekend in Johannisen and Talia, and both played well. The MCG hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the Dogs over the year, and Tigers are in much better form.Richmond by 23 points.
Essendon v North Melbourne, Etihad Stadium, 4.40pmTo end a fantastic round, two sides on the fringe of the eight play for a spot in the fi nals. The Bombers fi nally showed some fi ght in a tight four-point loss to Adelaide. But again another soft-tissue injury threatens to derail their season, with the consistent Ben Howlett going down. It took the Kangaroos half a game to wake up and play some decent football. Drew Petrie continues to kick bags and the evergreen Brent Harvey doesn’t seem to be slowing. With their best teams on the park the Bombers would win this hands down, but that’s not the case. The Roos are only missing Ziebell and look likely to get a bit of breathing space the winner will receive at the end of this game.North Melbourne by 32 points.Twitter: FootballTragic9Total tips: 118
Cats head West to keep momentumCats head West to keep momentum
By Andrew BradyTHE mighty Westernport Warriors maintained their unbeaten run in the 2012 RecLink season with a comfortable 23.5-143 to 7.11-53 win over our closest neighbour, the Southern Peninsula Swans, at Crib Point last Wednesday.
The victory enabled the Warriors to maintain their grip on the Peninsula Challenge Cup.
The Warriors have a huge challenge coming when they tackle Doveton Cobras in the fi nal round of competition at Crib Point on Wednesday with the game starting at midday.
Both teams are undefeated and regardless of the result the War-riors will play the Cobras in the A grade grand fi nal on 15 August at 2pm at the Peanut Farm Reserve in St Kilda.
The Warriors went into the Swans game without key playmakers Jordan “Hungry” Hendrix, who missed through shoulder soreness after being “chicken winged”, Vio “The Man” Vunimasi, who suf-fered a season-ending ankle injury, and Chris “Head” Bastin who like Nathan Ablett continues to struggle for motivation, a concern for the Warriors coaching staff.
Danny “Ashley’n” Martin was a handy inclusion along with “Tricky” Micky Hope, who made a long-awaited return to the line-up.
The big question prematch was what sort of a dent Tim “Buddy” Churchin could make on the 100-goal milestone as he took the fi eld with 66 to his name for the season.
The Warriors were at their slickest from the start and it wasn’t long before Buddy was on the receiving end of some outstanding supply from the likes of “Jumping” Joey Robb, Mathew “Spagetti” Caruana, Danny “Flippa” Phillips and skipper Chris “Posters” Hel-weg.
Nathan “The Rock” Robertson, Brian “Nuc” Kells and Jordan “Roscoe” Tanner were holding fi rm in defence and Danny Martin was proving his worth across half-back. Despite the unevenness of the scores, the Swans persisted and in the end only had 10 fewer scoring shots. Troy “The Boy” DeVries played a blinder in the ruck and, in unison with Jake “The Flying Dutchman” Van de Nesse, now form possibly the best big man combination in the comp.
The highlight for the Warriors was straight kicking in part due to the absence of Hungry Hendrix but also to the contribution of Buddy who kicked 14 goals to elevate his season’s tally to 80. With two games remaining, can Buddy kick the magic ton?
The mighty Warriors now focus on the Cobras who will go all out to obtain a psychological advantage over the Warriors going in to the grand fi nal. The game promises to be a beauty.
