CRIME gangs with a disciplined cul-ture and ability to plan and set targets has given a new potency to crime in Frankston and on the Mornington Pen-insula.

The tech savvy gangs use social me-dia, including Facebook, and encryp-tion apps to co-ordinate activities, al-lowing their members to mobilise and disperse quickly, recruit members and plan their next hit.

Easy access to stolen cars and quick-er freeway travel times mean that our once sleepy hamlets are now high on the agenda of the often race-related gangs who regard “slap on the wrist” penalties as green cards to commit more crimes.

Mornington Detective Sergeant Nick Vallas said recent raids on the penin-sula could be linked to a crime gang from Dandenong.

“We can’t say they are defi nitely gang members, but they probably are,” he said. “They adopt a common theme

before committing crimes, which they call missioning. This may be to break into a car and steal it, or, if the car’s locked, to break into the house and steal the car’s keys and then steal it. The stolen cars are then used to rob other cars.

“It’s this willingness to go to any lengths to achieve their aim that wor-ries us.”

Car owners are making it easy for thieves. On Saturday night, 22 August, eight cars were broken into in Bentons and Dunns roads, Mt Martha, with

thieves stealing a Subaru – later recov-ered in Frankston North – and loose change.

Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Mornington CIU, said all the cars are believed to have been unlocked.

“We go on about it, but people are still making it easy for thieves.” He said the incidents are not believed to be gang related.

In Mt Martha the same night, up to four men burgled a house on The Es-planade, at 3am Sunday 23 August, frightening a couple who woke to fi nd

them rifl ing through bedside cupboards and draws.

The men, described as African or is-lander in appearance, were using mobile-phones as torches, going from room to room searching for valuables. They left with jewellery valued at $20,000 when the couple raised the alarm.

A Hampton Park man, 24, believed to be the get-away driver, was arrested by Mornington police and, although not being charged with any offence on the night, may be charged at a later date. Continued Page 4

Marine care on the syllabusPENINSULA primary school “marine ambassadors” helped a Melbourne Water maintenance crew inspect and remove rubbish from a litter net at Tanti Creek Wetlands, Mornington, last week.

It was part of the Dolphin Re-search Institute’s hands-on ‘I sea, I care’ program.

IT might be getting to the pointy end of the season for the AFL, but players were not too busy when asked to sign surfboards for a charity auction.

The players stayed off the fi eld long enough to take turns with black mark-ers to autograph boards made in their team colours for the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch.

The auction for the 18 boards starts 2.30pm Sunday 13 September at the Baha taco and music bar, 2201 Point Nepean Rd, Rye.

Bids, starting at $650 a board, will be taken from the fl oor and over the phone. Unsold boards will be auc-tioned later on eBay.

The boards (including a Hawks premiership board) were made at the Trigger Brothers shop, Point Leo.

The 6ft 6in retro single fi n boards were shaped by Simon Forward, glassed by John Jolly and fi nished by Al Francis fi nishing. Burford supplied

the blanks and Nuplex the resins. The DSA hopes to raise $20,000

through the auction which will be spent on improving beach access for the disabled at Point Leo.

The Disabled Surfers Association was established over 25 years ago and has branches in every state.

The Mornington Peninsula branch each year holds several surfi ng days for people with any disability and works to improve access to the beaches.

More than100 disabled surfers and 300 volunteers attend the surfi ng days at Point Leo and other events are held by another DSA branch at Ocean Grove.

To bid for a board go to Baha on the day or register at www.fi rstreef.weebly.com

THE state government last week warned Victorians about a long, hot and dry fi re season ahead but made no mention of a key driver of drier con-ditions and hotter temperatures across southeast Australia – El Nino.

The Bureau of Meteorology said the El Nino weather pattern now building in the Pacifi c Ocean could be worse

than the record-breaker of 1997-98, which was one of the drivers of the so-called Millennium drought, which lasted from 1995 to 2010 in some parts of Australia.

The drought in Victoria broke in March 2010 when storms pounded the state but it was not declared over until after the fl oods of September that year.

Dams in the state were 70 per cent full by mid-2012, the highest level for 14 years.

Last week the bureau said the warm-ing of the sea surface in the equatorial Pacifi c Ocean was a key indicator of El Nino conditions. It would bring lower rainfall on the east coast and southern Australia.

Last Wednesday, Victoria’s Emer-

gency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said the Southern Aus-tralia Seasonal Bushfi re Outlook 2015-16 predicted “an above normal fi re season with an increased bushfi re risk for Victoria”.

The government said it had allocated “more than $20 million [for] a fl eet of specialist fi refi ghting aircraft to help

keep communities safe this summer”.Almost 50 aircraft, including two

large air tankers (the fi rst one to arrive from the United States several years ago was dubbed Elvis), would be on hand to support emergency services.

Some aircraft would have infrared scanners to pick up hot spots not seen by the naked eye. Mike Hast

School bomb scareTOORAK College, Mt Eliza was in lock-down Wednesday morning after a bomb scare.

Students were kept in their class-rooms for “a couple of hours” while Mornington police searched the grounds. Nothing was found.

Detective Sergeant Peter Drake said a man called the school to say a bomb had been left there. He did not leave his contact details and police were trying to track him down later in the day.

“We did an exhaustive search of the general area but found nothing,” Detective Drake said. “We take all calls of this nature seriously.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Mornington police on 5970 4900 or Crime Stoppers 1300 333 000.

MORNINGTON builder L Clarke and Sons has asked Mornington Peninsula Shire for approval to build a two-sto-rey apartment complex on the Morn-ington Youth and Community Centre site in Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

The project would include 28 apart-ments, basement car parking, vegeta-tion removal and “associated works”.

Clarke and Sons bought the old youth club hall and land from the shire for $2.1 million at an auction in mid-2014. The council made the deci-sion to sell the property in 2011.

More than 100 people attended the sale but it went ahead under a cloud as residents and neighbours made a last-ditch appeal to the shire, calling for it to retain the building as a public facility.

One resident reportedly said the cen-tre had been a part of the community for decades. Residents had donated money to buy it for community use.

The shire put the money toward its $8.5 million Civic Reserve Rec-reation Centre expansion, which saw new “homes” for the old hall’s tenant – Mornington Youth Club Gymnastics – as well as Mornington Tennis Club and Mornington Peninsula Table Ten-nis Association.

Other works at Civic Reserve in-cluded two multi-purpose rooms, a fi tness studio, kiosk, internal and ex-ternal socialising areas, new car park, and landscaping and beautifi cation.

The old hall was once the home of Peninsula Post and later a Hickory women’s garment factory established by Bernard Dowd, who owned his-toric property Craigielea on the cor-ner of the Esplanade and Craigie Rd

at Mt Martha. (The house was built in 1863 for the head of Scotch College, Dr Alex Morrison. It was also later owned by Norman Myer of Myer em-porium fame, who sold it to Mr Dowd

in 1946.) Clarke and Sons director Julie Clarke said it was hoped to start construction at 128-130 Wilsons Rd next February.

Continued from Page 1Frankston Embona Detective Ser-

geant Marty O’Brien said gangs with names such as Apex, Y2K and YKK were making life “very busy” for de-tectives. He said racially linked mem-bers coming to Frankston from Dande-nong and Narre Warren – some aged as young as 13 – were a “huge problem”.

“Crimes by these groups have risen 10-fold over the past few years,” he said. “And 90 per cent of it relates to the Polynesians.

“They get straight off the plane and are straight into it. We know who they are but we can’t do much about them.”

Police are frustrated by lights sen-tences handed down by the courts.

“One guy charged with 14 counts of armed robbery was granted bail,” De-tective Sergeant O’Brien said. “Why a court would even entertain the idea of bail I don’t know.”

A Melbourne police taskforce formed to tackle the threat from gangs has charged more than 70 young men over a six-month crime spree, includ-ing crimes in Frankston and on the peninsula.

The youths, aged 14-24, were charged with more than 400 serious of-fences ranging from armed robbery to commercial burglary, car theft, driving offences and illegal gun possession.

The six-month police investigation, established to target mid-level organ-ised crime, revealed that two syndi-cates based in Melbourne’s northern suburbs had targeted department stores and tobacconists all the way down to Frankston.

Three violent thieves, who police later identifi ed as gang members, raided two 24-hour service stations, at Dromana and Rosebud, on 29 July. The trio, with one member aged 15, stormed counters and terrorised staff with an axe and a handgun in the early morning raids.

CCTV footage shows them smash-ing glass counters, destroying com-puter equipment, rifl ing cupboards and pointing a handgun in the face of the lone attendant – before repeating the viciousness 15 minutes later at the next service station. Money and cigarettes were stolen at both premises.

Six of the gang were apprehended within the week and the youngest is now out on bail.

Their arrests form part of a bigger picture, with up to 25 offenders nabbed over a spate of aggravated burglaries, vandalism, thefts from and of cars, de-ceptions, petrol drive offs and armed robberies across the southern suburbs in the past few weeks.

“They knew each other and were acting together; there was defi nitely a level of planning and organisation,” Frankston Embona Detective Sergeant Alistair Hanson said.

The same gang is believed respon-sible for smashing up to 25 car wind-screens and rear and side windows in Cheltenham. Two vandals in two cars used golf clubs and a hammer to smash the windows of cars parked in streets off Centre Dandenong Rd, causing $25,000 damage. Other cars were damaged in Armadale and Caulfi eld.

Police concerns over gangs coming south

RABBIT numbers in Mt Martha’s Briars Park wildlife sanctuary are goind down as eradication action continues.

Mornington Peninsula Shire rangers closed the sanctuary to the public on 25 August and it is expected to reopen on Monday 23 September.

Park staff are making a determined attempt to rid the sanctuary of rabbits, which have existed inside the predator-proof fence since it was erected.

Several attempts have been made

in recent years but this effort is the most comprehensive with eradication techniques including fi lling in burrows to force rabbits into the open, allowing members of the Sporting Shooters’ Association to cull them at night (more than 130 killed so far) and other techniques, with attention given to meeting various codes of practice.

A shire spokesman said it was hoped the project would completely eradicate rabbits in the sanctuary with an end goal of “having a new conservation approach involving a

focus on native Australian threatened species”.

If the cull goes well, the sanctuary could be opened before 23 September, the spokesman said.

Walks outside the sanctuary are unaffected. They include Balcombe Creek Walkway (which continues under the Nepean Highway bridge to Balcombe Estuary); the Harrap Creek Walk, which links to other walks and continues to Civic Reserve in Dunns Rd; and a short walk along Stockleys Creek. Mike Hast

POWERFUL owls might be 60 centi-metre s tall and have white plumage, but they are rarely seen; heard maybe, but not seen.

Being a nocturnal bird of prey they are most active at night and make themselves scarce during the day.

They are the largest of the avian night hunters and, as their name sug-gests, capable of preying on medium to large tree-dwelling mammals: ringtail possum and great glider. They also take roosting birds and animals on the ground, such as rabbits and small marsupials.

Despite their strength and hunting prowess, powerful owls are listed as being endangered.

The Mornington Peninsula has been identifi ed as one area where several families do exist and Mornington Peninsula Shire and the local branch of Birdlife Australia are trying to fi nd out where they live and roost.

The monitoring program could reveal habitat critical to their survival that needs protecting.

Adult powerful owls are dark brown with a white and brown fl ecked underside with yellow eyes. They can be heard calling at night and their voice is described as a “deep double hoot”.

This time of year, the young owls be-gin emerging from the nest and can be heard trilling to be fed just after dusk.

Shire conservation ranger Josh Gunn is asking for reports of sight-ings or observations of powerful owls so the locations can be included in future surveys and to broaden the knowledge of the species' distribution on the peninsula.

Tracking down a powerful hunter

Max Burrows of Birdlife Australia said the powerful owls are a “top level” predator that was necessary to balance the ecosystem.

"Recent surveys by the state govern-ment identifi ed signifi cant numbers of

owls on the peninsula and we're want-ing to keep up to date with sightings and, in particular, breeding locations so they can be properly protected for the future generations of this endan-gered species," he said.

Powerful owl sightings can be emailed to [email protected] or call 5950 1274. For details about the powerful owl visit: www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Ninox-strenua Keith Platt

Giving a hoot: A survey is underway to keep track of where powerful owls live on the Mornington Peninsula so that their habitats can be protected.

Shire lays chargeTHE shire has charged the owner of a bush block in Main Ridge with illegal clearing under the Environment and Planning Act.

The matter will come before Frankston Magistrates’ Court next week. The owner faces a maximum penalty of $180,000 per offence but any fi ne is likely to be much lower.

If the prosecution is successful, the fi ne would likely be in the range of $5000 to $50,000. The matter of re-mediation will be pursued separately. About a third of the 16-hectare block was cleared in January by a contractor.

A shire spokesman told The News the owner had been charged “with re-moving vegetation without a planning permit”. “The fi rst mention hearing is 17 September.”

The shire’s manager of planning compliance, Paul Lewis, said his de-partment had “commenced 30 en-forcement actions this calendar year – six of these being vegetation-related”.

Service feedbackRESIDENTS have two chances to provide feedback on how they believe Mornington Peninsula Shire interacts with them and visitors.

The information will be used as part of the shire’s customer service review.

Consultation sessions will be held this week. They are: 7-9pm, Thursday 10 September, Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings, and 10am-noon, Saturday 12 September, shire offi ces, 90 Bes-grove St, Rosebud.

By Fran HenkeVISUAL arts students at Chisholm Frankston are taking their work to the walls of Monash Health this month to cheer and stimulate patients, visitors and staff.

Their show, featuring paintings, sculptures, drawing and printmaking by art and illustration students, will open in the Monash Health Art Space, 3.30pm, Thursday 17 September.

The opportunity came about after a meeting between art student Eleni Theodoridi, who also works as a medical interpreter at Monash, and senior manager and curator at Monash Health, Kim Minett.

Their mutual vision and enthusiasm for the role that art plays in the public health setting created the collabora-tion between the Chisholm students and Monash Health.

“I believe that hospitals and other public buildings are a great art platform,” Ms Theodoridi said. “It connects and benefi ts people who wouldn’t necessarily go to a gallery and visual artists that wouldn't have a chance to communicate their mes-sages to a wider spectrum of public, people from all paths in life.”

Her experience of working in hospitals led to a fascination with medical images, producing prints and mixed media works on the theme of “non-medical Interpretations of medi-cal images”. She is undertaking the advanced diploma of creative product development at Chisholm, with a wide range of experience in commu-

Art to lift the spirit

nity involvement, health and the arts.“This is a cause really close to my

heart and I have already suggested to Monash Health the possibility of murals with the help of local artist and other Chisholm students.

Ms Theodoridi has approached other students, including Karen Neal and Jill Marshall, who have donated work to dress the walls of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit.

Local artists have begun to offer

time and talent, too, including sand sculptor Natasha Kamenskaia, mixed media artist Efrossini Chaniotis and photographer Fran Henke.

The Monash Children’s Hospital will open in 2017, with what Eleni hopes, will be more opportunities for the arts in the Monash Health com-munity.

The Monash Health Art Space is at level 2, Monash Medical Centre, 246 Clayton Rd, Clayton.

By David HarrisonI BEGAN my career in journalism about the same time as Alan Morison, half a century ago at the afternoon newspaper, The Herald, in Melbourne, Australia.

It sold more than half a million cop-ies a day. It was a force in the city. It was listened to by politicians, by busi-ness people, by judges and lawyers, and was loved and respected by its readers.

Its journalists did not set out con-sciously each day to seek that appro-bation of its readers, who comprised about one in fi ve of Melbourne’s popu-lation.

They simply, like blind Justice, did their job – to discover and bring to the public the news of the day, whatever that news happened to be.

Nor did we concern ourselves much with what public reaction might be to what we wrote. We knew we had the support of our journalistic seniors and

the public. We were part of what was then called the Fourth Estate, a term born in 18th century Britain to describe the huge infl uence of newspapers in the life of the nation.

Originally the press – the Fourth Es-tate – ranked with the other three es-tates.

These were the British parliamentary estates known as the Lords spiritual, the Lords temporal and the members of the House of Commons. That is, the press and its journalists ranked along-side the unelected members of the British House of Lords, both church-men and the nobility, and the elected members of the Commons. The press had – and wielded – the power to bring down governments, to change govern-ment policy, and to rein in government power.

Generally it used this power respon-sibly.

This was the environment in which young journalists learned their trade.

Alan has continued to do this through-out his working life, in the fi nest tradi-tions of the press.

He now publishes his news in the new medium of the world wide web. He is part of the new fabric of news dissemination.

He and his very impressive colleague Chutima Sidasathian have published news on their Phuketwan website that is certainly not to the taste of everyone who reads it.

News has been defi ned as ‘’some-thing that someone, somewhere, does not want published. All the rest is ad-vertising”.

Alan and Chutima do not deal in ad-vertising or seek to please their read-ers. They simply seek out the truth and disseminate it. The consequences in the case of their reporting of people smuggling in Thailand have been very serious indeed. Both face the possibil-ity of jail.

For what? Has anyone challenged

the truth of their reporting? No. They have been faithful to the best centuries-old traditions of their calling. They are in the legal position they face because their facts have annoyed people in power in Thailand.

These facts meet the classic defi ni-tion – they were something that some people did not want printed. They were embarrassing, they were seen to dimin-ish the standing of powerful people in a powerful social institution, the Royal Thai Navy, which was not mentioned in the report against which they took offence.

The facts were not challenged – Alan and Chutima’s resolve to publish them, and therefore to shine a spotlight on a great and deeply troubling social issue, was under challenge. They were to be crushed as an example to others for their bold impertinence.

The original publisher of the words that drew the navy’s response were not sued. They were too big and powerful.

Shame on Reuters for abandoning Phuketwan to its fate.

In the long term such facts must – must – be published. The public has a right to know. All around the world, journalists daily pay for this demand on them with their freedom, sometimes their lives.

Thailand needs more journalists, and more media proprietors, who will take the risk of a backlash from powerful people and institutions in what they present to the community, whatever the risk and consequence.

It is vital to strong democracies for this to be done. It is vital for Thailand’s future that its powerful institutions re-spect the Fourth Estate and its practi-tioners for doing their job.

The nation will never develop into a strong democracy without letting the facts – diligently gathered and respon-sibly reported – from being freely dis-seminated. It is the test every govern-ing regime faces, and must pass.

MP News Group journalist David Harrison is in Thailand supporting his mate Alan Morison and his wife Chutima Sidasathian, who were charged in late 2013 with criminal defamation and computer crime over a story they published on their online website Phuketwan about abuses against Rohingya migrants in Thailand.

The charges centred on a paragraph in Phuketwan on 17 July 2013 citing an investigative report by Reuters alleging that some navy offi cials were involved with traffi cking Rohingya Muslims fl eeing Myanmar (Burma). The trial generated widespread condemnation from human rights groups and the United Nations.

Morison and Sidasathian faced up to seven years in jail but last week were found not guilty of all charges. The Thai navy has until the end of September to appeal. Harrison has been supporting the two journalists by organising fundraisers, a petition and a rally in Melbourne. He attended the court case in Phuket in July and returned for last week’s judgment. This article has been posted on Phuketwan and has generated worldwide interest.

A LONG-TIME peninsula resident with a yen for adventure will cel-ebrate her 100th birthday on Sunday.

Thelma Adams will be joined by her two children Roy and Joan, as well as seven grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and eight great, great-grandchildren, and friends, making it a family affair to remember.

Mrs Adams, who lived at Somers for 30 years and for the past year at an aged care home at Mornington, was born in South Melbourne on 13 September 1915 and spent her early years there.

She left school at 13 as her mother was unwell and she was needed at home.

After being employed at various jobs around the city she worked for fi ve years at the Hoadley’s chocolate factory.

Aged 21 she and David Adams mar-ried and moved to Oakleigh. During WWII Dave was a medical orderly in the Air Force at Biak, New Guinea, until he was medically discharged.

The couple opened a pram-repair shop at Oakleigh which Mrs Adams later turned into a toy shop and ran successfully for many years.

In 1967 they bought the Corroboree store, Ferny Creek, which, during the devastating 1969 bushfi res, became a centre for fi re crews who used the old swimming pool to fi ll their tankers.

Then the adventure bug bit had the couple had the store minded while they took 12 months off to travel

around Australia in their little caravan.Retired and moving to Knoxfi eld

after selling the store they started travelling again, this time looking for gemstones and painting, and spending their winters up north at Emu Park, just south of Yeppoon.

The family established itself at Somers in 1984, enjoying the rural and seaside environment. “It was a super place for us to live,” she said, especially being near son Roy and wife Lesley.

But, after another trip to Emu Park and Kinka Beach, Dave died at Yeppoon hospital and his ashes were scattered on Keppel Bay.

After being alone for a year, Mrs

Adams decided to visit the places they had enjoyed together. At 77 she bought a Greyhound bus ticket which allowed her to get off the bus wher-ever she wanted, and then board again when she was ready. But, after being late for the bus after an outback road-house lunch stop the bus left without her. Undaunted, she hitched a ride on a road train and enjoyed their outback hospitality before getting back on the bus later.

Overseas travel beckoned, and Mrs Adams visited Europe with daughter Joan and friends in 1997, and Europe again, with Joan, in 1999.

After 30 years at Somers, enjoyed the walks on the beach with the dog,

and the company of other seniors at Balnarring, Mrs Adams moved to the Opal Aged Care in Racecourse Rd, Mornington, where she has enjoyed living for the past year.

As daughter-in-law Lesley said: “She is fairly frail physically but bright as a button mentally and reads the newspaper from front to back daily.”

Asked if there was anything she would still like to do, Mrs Adams quipped: “Why, go to China, of course!”

The party at Joan’s place in Dande-nong on Sunday will be a great way to see in her centenary.

Theft items missingWAR memorabilia is still missing despite Frankston police arresting and charging a man for his role in the 1.30am, Friday 31 July robbery at Frankston RSL.

The Cranbourne man, 24, has been charged with burglary and theft while an alleged accomplice, a 25-year-old Skye man interviewed by police on 21 August, is “likely to be charged”, say Frankston detectives.

The men allegedly broke in to the Cranbourne Rd premises by climbing a rear fence.

A medal has been recovered, but items such as a POW’s hand-carved chess set, three sets of medals from the two world wars, a Navy uniform, WWII rifl e scabbard, compasses, range fi nders and binoculars – said by detectives to be “worth thousands” – have yet to be recovered.

Detective Acting Sergeant Jason Hamilton-Smith, of Frankston CIU, said the Cranbourne man would face Frankston Magistrates’ Court in January.

SACKING staff at the Port of Hastings Develop-ment Authority has seen millions of dollars “lost” to Hastings, according to Opposition leader Mat-thew Guy.

Speaking to journalists in Frankston last week Mr Guy said 55 jobs had gone and payouts “will cost millions”.

A news release from Opposition ports spokes-man David Hodgett said the state government had paid out $2.64 million to 17 staff made re-dundant at the planning authority.

“That works out to an average redundancy pay-ment of over $155,000 a worker,” Mr Hodgett stated in a news release.

“These 17 jobs should never have been lost be-cause a second container port is critical for Victo-ria’s economic future.”

The downsizing of the development author-ity – formed by the previous government when Mr Hodgett was ports minister – came soon after Labor’s election win and its decision to lease out the Port of Melbourne for 50 years, effectively mothballing plans for a major container port at Hastings.

Instead, the Labor government has earmarked Hastings as a “bulk” port for ships delivering and collecting petroleum products, natural gas and, possibly brown coal.

The government is also giving Infrastructure Victoria the job of investigating whether a con-tainer port is eventually best built at Bay West, north of Geelong in Port Phillip, or Hastings.

Backing for a container port at Hastings con-

tinues to come from Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils, but is being opposed by the Shire of Bass, which borders Western Port.

The three municipalities are part of the new South East Melbourne Group of Councils (SEM) lobbying the government on a range of issues, in-cluding business investment, jobs, public safety and education.

Despite Bass’s opposition, a container port for Hastings is included in SEM’s regional plan, along with planning for a major airport.

The other four councils in the SEM group are Kingston, Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong.

Both the Mornington Peninsula and Bass coun-cils have written separately to the government, one (the peninsula) calling for the establishment of a “green” container port at Hastings and the other (Bass) opposing any expansion of the port.

Frankston has promoted itself as being ide-ally suited to be the commercial centre for and expanded Port of Hastings. Its mayor, Cr Sandra Mayer, as the inaugural head of SEM, issued a news release stating “30 per cent of all shipping containers from the Port of Melbourne end up in south east Melbourne, so development linked to tourism and shipping are certainly areas we will be pushing hard, including the Port of Hastings expansion”.

Mr Guy, when criticising the government virtu-ally disbanding the Port of Hastings Development Authority, said the container port would have been a “boon for jobs on the Mornington Peninsula and south eastern suburbs”.

“The Port of Hastings should be on the [gov-ernment’s] agenda. Melbourne needs planning to begin for a second container port,” he said.

By Joan Yalden, U3A MorningtonTHE Mornington Peninsula has been recog-nised by the National Geographic organisation as one of the most beautiful – read “must see” – regions of Australia.

Capitalising on this interest, with a focus on retired or semi-retired people, the University of the Third Age Mornington has launched fi ve short courses on the peninsula’s history.

“The courses bring together the various geological, botanical and cultural aspects of the history of the peninsula,” course coordina-tor Eileen Wilson says.

The fi rst course is about the physical devel-opment of the peninsula from pre-European settlement to the pioneers of the early settle-ment period. Things got off to a good start on Thursday 3 September at the U3A campus with talks by two guest speakers, Ms Wilson said.

Botanist, botanical illustrator and author Leon Costerman outlined the geological origins of the peninsula and the constituent landforms that have infl uenced the vegeta-tion and human practices. He is the author of Native Trees and Shrubs of South-Eastern Australia (1981).

Boonwurrung man and archaeologist Adam Magennis, a cultural heritage advisor with Mornington Peninsula Shire, spoke on indig-enous culture before European settlement.

U3A tutor Gill Condie said those who had lived on the peninsula all of their lives would also enjoy the series. It continues throughout October and November discussing fl ora and fauna of the peninsula, bays and beaches, land use, art, culture and tourism.

Exploring history of peninsula

THE opening of Mt Eliza Bowling Club’s season last week with new synthetic greens and fl oodlights helped members showcase bowls as a sport which the whole family can play.

The additions mean the club can open all year and stage twilight and evening bowls events.

A highlight of the night was watching three generations of club life member John Gregson’s fam-ily – aged seven to 70 – take part in a special bowling demonstration.

Gregson’s grandsons – Victorian and national representative Dylan Fisher and seven year old Jett Sim-mons – joined him on the green along with Jett’s father, Todd, for a special moment in their family’s, and the club’s, history.

Fisher, 21, is the youngest male bowler to represent Australia and is a world under-25 singles champion. Todd Simmons has played more than 300 games for Victoria and Gregson has won club championships in both singles and pairs at Mt Eliza and is described as an “integral part of the club”.

Their opponents were Mt Eliza reigning men’s and women’s club champions and runners-up Phil Crow-der, David Gibbon, Kim Ronan and Liz Eccles-Smith.

The match for Gregson and Dylan was like winding the clock back 10 years to the the time they teamed up to win the pairs championship – with Dylan then an 11-year-old.

As it was a demonstration game no scores were recorded, although the current champs won the match.

Club president Ken Broadbent presided over the night, with Small

Business Minister and Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, Mornington MP David Morris and Bowls Victo-ria director Phil Gude among the guests.

“It was hard to tell which shone brighter: seven year old Jett Sim-mons or the club’s new fl oodlights at the wonderful opening night cel-ebration,” member Guy Hand said.

Debt, what debt?Barrie Hunt of Mt Eliza castigates the ALP for the Coalition government’s current debt (“ALP’s debt problem” Letters 25/8/15). I would remind him that there was a global fi nancial crisis a few years ago which this country sailed through with the ALP in government.

To save us from the woes that other coun-tries were, and still are, experiencing, the ALP showed it was a very good manager of the economy.

The Coalition won the election and told us that the adults were in charge now. It also rattled on about the debt it had been saddled with.

Having tried hard and not managing to con-vince the electorate, suddenly there is no eco-nomic emergency. So much so that tax cuts, the establishment of the Australian Border Force, with its mountainous costs and other schemes costing billions of dollars are waved through.

Is Barrie being a little naive in believing the guff put out by the Coalition?

Bill Payne, Rosebud

Sport’s risky timeWith the end of the winter sports season near-ing for a variety of sports, many clubs will be considering events such as last game functions, presentation nights, mad Mondays and trips away. Club administrators and participants need to be aware some of the dangers and legal issues that can be prevented.

Clubs need to ensure that any alcohol is served only on the days and at the times allowed in their liquor licence.

Failure to abide by these conditions may at-tract considerable fi nes, possible loss of licence and impact on the club’s income, not to mention poor publicity.

Club administrators need to meet with event organisers to discuss what is planned and iden-tify possible risks and measures to be taken to reduce those risks.

They should ensure no-one under 18 is sup-plied with alcohol by older players or offi cials and clearly explain what the club considers

acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.Unacceptable behaviours should include

drunkenness, damage to property, violence, drink driving, verbal abuse, harassment, any-thing that may bring the image of the club into disrepute and anything against the law.

A court in deciding whether a sporting club would be liable for an injury suffered by a play-er, or damage to property on an end of season trip or event will depend on the circumstances of each case.

Clubs could be liable if they promote and en-dorse these types of activities to their members and fail to warn to of possible risks.

It is no longer appropriate for heavy drinking and sport to go hand in hand, especially at the end of season functions.

Club administrators need to ask themselves: “How would I feel if one of our members was

to die, or be seriously injured, as a result of an alcohol related incident run by my club?”

Brian Nankervis, Mornington

Bay not too shallowBernie McComb’s letter (“Bay too shallow”, The News 25/8/15) puts two and two together making fi ve again. The Suez Canal has been deepened to 24metres to take ultra large ships carrying oil/ore cargos, not the largest container ships which have a maximum draft of 14.0 me-tres. Again, “to compete with Suez” – why? Our two trades are completely different.

The Western Port entrance channel is two-way and 500 metres wide between the buoys marking straight lines for shipping. There is deep water outside the buoys.

In the 1960s the entrance channel was sur-veyed, required depth was 14.9 metres, a bar

was towed between two tugs, it did not touch anything a declared minimum deep was prom-ulgated.

This channel could take vessels of 18.5metres draft with no dredging to Sandy Point (same draft as coal ships using Newcastle - do we want that trade? I certainly don’t). The deepest draft vessel handled in any Victorian port was the BP Achiever on the 16 January 1986, which sailed from Western Port with a draft of 15.5 metres.

The courageous Yes Minister type decision required to bring the 180 metre wide Great Ship Channel into Port Philip up to international standard to take 13 metre container ships envis-aged for Australia will undoubtedly increase the tidal range fl ooding many areas.

In the near future vessels will be dumping Victorian containers in Sydney and Adelaide. Businesses will move out of Victoria to reduce their costs, the shorter the land transport dis-tance the cheaper a product when it arrives at the consumer.

The Port Of Hastings Development Author-ity has a Western Port original chart showing natural depths.

Over protectionThe attempt by our border protection force to randomly check peoples’ identifi cation smacks of Stalinism or Nazism in days gone by.

overlay we are now faced with a high-density development that will not meet the needs of open space or preserve the wildlife haven the old reservoir has become.

The shire must now come clean about the old reservoir. It’s time we were told what the true story is. Whose interests are councillors Andrew Dixon, Anne Shaw and the mayor Bev Colomb actually advocating for?

To ignore SEW and the panel that recommend-ed not pursuing social housing and to ask the Minister for Planning to be part of a pilot project or some other social housing initiative is more than disappointing.

We have been let down massively, but waiting to vote the councillors out at the next elections will be too late. The horse will have bolted.

This council needs to understand that we don’t want opportunist developments on every spare scrap of land.

We don’t want social housing or to be part of experimental pilot projects. Equally we don’t want mansions. No housing, full stop!

Residents moved to the area to avoid high-density housing and to raise our children or retire in a more natural, clean and quiet environ-ment where we see more than just cats, dogs and starlings.

Rates in the area have increased by more than $200 this year, so we deserve greater value or at least greater advocacy for that investment.

Councillors, if you want to seek responses from relevant parties, come to the reservoir at dusk and hear from those that matter the most.

Rebecca Taylor, Kunyung Residents Group,Mt Eliza

Taxes for the richThe non-action on the super tax on tax-free income fl ows of over $100,000 is obvious.

If there were a tax placed on these earnings (more than most working Australians make) the politicians would have to take a hit being as their entitlements include (in addition to helicopter rentals) a huge pension which delivers well over the $100,000 no tax cap.

According to Treasurer Joe Hockey, who used the lowering interest rates as a reason to not

implement this tax, you would have to have $5 million invested (at 2 per cent) to get $100,000 income.

The logic for those at the bottom of the food chain is that after an asset test you are not eligi-ble for the pension. The theory being that you can cash in your assets to live.

Not so for the politicians and the top end of town.

Oh, I almost forgot that the Abbott govern-ment scrapped the super co-contribution for low income people – used to be $1000 under Labor, reduced to $500 under Abbott.

Another oxymoron: “The Abbot government is the government of the people”, however, if we insert the word “rich” before people it is no longer an oxymoron.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Right to objectThe lastest attempts by Prime Minister Tony Abbott to try and renew the dredging around Abbot Point [Queensland], build a railway to the port site and start the proposed Carmichael coal mine has been boosted by our Minister for the Environment [Flinders MP Greg Hunt], with his plans to put before Parliament a proposal to prevent Australians objecting to the mine, unless they are living near the proposed site.

The mining of coal (carbon) and the burning of same will seriously add to the carbon content of our atmosphere, worldwide.

The minister should remember that climate change is the responsibility of every human, no matter where they might live.

I strongly object that an extremely wealthy Indian national should be given preferential treatment by silencing most Australians. If the minister does not realise this, or realise that coal equals climate change, he should resign.

With electronic means of communication, we have a vast amount of knowledge at our disposal. To suggest for one moment we should not express our opinions, even if we live in an-other state, about protecting our environment is absurd. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Climate for firesThe determination of Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt to permit the Carmichael coal mine to proceed astounds me.

Once these coal deposits are developed fi nan-cial interests will ensure that they continue to be mined long after even [Prime Minister] Tony Abbott has recognised the devastating effects of man-made climate change.

In February 2009 173 Victorians, half of them children, lost their lives to bushfi res driven by 100 kph winds and an ambient temperature of 47 degrees.

I believe that due to the decisions of people like Mr Hunt to delay action on the issue of global warming in support of the coal industry, bushfi res like those in 2009 will become more frequent and even more severe, killing many more men, women and children.

I wonder how he would feel about deaths resulting from a bushfi re caused by an extreme weather event.

Peter Holt, Somerville

Marriage problemThe problem confronting me today is marriage. What does it mean?

To most of us marriage involves two people, one male, one female. They get together, decide they are going to live together and, in most cases, produce offspring. They make public declarations to this effect, and so the human race goes on.

Next, we have the second group. They make their decisions privately. Some may reproduce, some may not. But, if you ask “are you married” the reply is usually “No, I love my partner”. Not publicly acknowledged – B grade.

Now, we have a third group – been around for ages, probably – and they want to be fi tted in. Fair enough.

They want to be able to say “we are the same as you, married”.

No, can’t be. For the simple reason: can’t reproduce.

If the human race depended on these people to carry us forward, it would disappear when these

THERE have been countless happy campers at Mt Eliza over the past 90 years.

Apart from when being used to re-cuperate US soldiers wounded in the Pacifi c campaign during World War II, the camp has provided a place to get away from it all for families and groups since 1925.

The Sunnyside Rd camp site was given to the YMCA by Thomas and Alice Baker.

Camp Manyung’s 90th anniver-sary last month and the unveiling of a historic interpretive display of the camp’s history from 1925 to the present brought back family memo-ries for Jenny Little (nee Stevens), a camper from the 1950s and 1960s.

Having spent weeks there as a youngster with her family each sum-mer she remembers “all the women chatting, shelling the peas and peeling spuds, no one felt this was an imposi-tion and we all enjoyed the roast dinner of an evening”.

“We had so much fun in those years, exploring, climbing trees, swimming at the beach and spearing fi sh, catching foxes, singing around the camp fi re, our childhood was free and happy at camp,” Ms Little said.

Camp director during 1960s and 1970s Cliff Burns recalled his time leading camps as “being a chance for families to come together during sum-mer holidays to enjoy each other’s company, participate in outdoor physical activity and live together as a community with much fun and laughter, while upholding the YMCA philosophy of strengthening individu-als in body, mind and spirit”.

Holiday test: Camp Manyung cricket game in 1951.

A tradition of camping out at Mt Eliza

Several years after being given the land the YMCA hired architects Eric Nichols and Walter Burley Griffi n to design the camp layout and bunk houses. Through-out the Depression years of the 1930s, it relied on volunteers to construct the camp.

After the war years the YMCA established family camping pro-grams in the 1950s to strengthen families and rebuild community

spirit. In 1981 Camp Manyung was sold to the state govern-ment and was managed under the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation. In 1997 the govern-ment contracted the management of the camp to YMCA Victoria and a long term partnership was established with Sport and Recrea-tion Victoria, providing outdoor camping experiences for 15,000 Victorians each year as part of

school camps, family camps and community camping programs.

These days accommodation for up to 170 is provided in cottages or Regatta House. Wi fi is avail-able and there is heating and air conditioning as well as plenty of outdoor activity and meeting areas.

Since the New Financial Year we have experienced much improved demand for properties on the Peninsula. Record low interest rates combined with a

very strong Melbourne market are supplying many cashed up buyers into our area. Accordingly we have been achieving premium results for our vendors

with relatively short days on the market.

With the start of Spring we are desperate to increase our stock levels to satisfy the demand from buyers on our database. For a confidential chat about your

property and where it sits in the market, please contact Stuart Cox on 0417 124 707

The front of the block is perfectly complemented by a quaint white picket fence that secures the single carport. This picturesque property certainly offers something different for the young or older couple looking to purchase in Mount Eliza.

By Stuart McCullough‘PLAN your journey’. This advice fl ashed at me as I set off for work on Friday. In big urgent letters, the sign warned of the impending train strike while also offering sage counsel as how to best respond to the imminent crisis. But of course! Plainly, my pre-ferred approach of not planning my journey would no longer suffi ce. Step-ping outside my front door and letting anarchy ensue simple does not cut the mustard in these strike-plagued times. A different approach is called for.

Until now, it has never occurred to me to plan my journey. Usually, I just get my things and set off, hoping for the best and generally arriving at my pre-ferred destination several weeks after I was fi rst expected. Sure, it’s ineffi cient but I believed Robert Frost when he said that taking the road less travelled had made all the difference even if it also made him chronically late. Un-til now, getting from A to B has been something of a magical mystery tour that has taken in C, D, E and various other parts of the alphabet in between.

To be honest, I was expecting that my trip to work would be a car park that rolled forward a metre or two from time to time and one in which my usual travel experience was painfully extended. It wasn’t like that at all. In fact, there was less traffi c than normal. It could only mean that a large number of fellow commuters had either decid-ed to work from home or taken the day off. They had, it seems, planned their journey by abandoning it altogether.

There have, of course, been pub-lic transport strikes throughout his-tory. People often forget that the only

reason it took Odysseus ten years to return home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy was because of a snap tram strike. Clearly, Odysseus did not plan his journey. When Johnny Cash sang, I Walk the Line, it was something only made possible because there were no trains running. Not that this is much comfort when the Frankston to Flin-ders Street service vanishes for hours on end.

Having been told to plan my jour-ney, there was little else for me to do other than to take this advice to heart. I poured over maps, I stared at the heav-ens in a desultory attempt to predict the weather and I wet my fi nger before

holding it aloft to see if I could tell which direction these ill-winds were blowing. But no matter how much effort I put into these activities, there was simply no getting around the fact that I was ‘here’ and I needed to get ‘there’. Frankly, no amount of plan-ning could change that stark fact.

My fi rst attempt left much to be de-sired. The initial draft of my plan saw me get from the house to Caulfi eld Station by riding on a donkey. There I would use an invisible sword to ward off evil spirits before training a dragon that I had doted on since infancy until it was willing to wear a saddle and fl y me the rest of the way to the offi ce.

As planned journeys go, mine was ex-quisite. But if it had a fault at all, it was (perhaps) slightly impractical and not as time effi cient as it could have been. In terms of being late to work, telling your boss that it took you long-er to train your dragon than you had fi rst anticipated is rarely going to be viewed as an acceptable excuse.

Perhaps I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe I’m being far too linear about it all. When the sign told me to ‘plan’ my journey, it could well be that this was not literally a direction to stare at a map for hours on end as though I was plan-ning to deposit troops on the beaches of Normandy but a more philosophical

suggestion. ‘Plan your journey’, much like ‘Count your blessings one by one’ is not something to be taken literally – it’d take you all afternoon. In fact, perhaps ‘plan your journey’ is not so much a piece of advice as it is a musi-cal suggestion.

Without a moment to lose, I quickly downloaded Don’t Stop Believin’ by American rock group Journey. I would plan my journey by creating a playlist containing the only song by the band Journey that I know. To be quite hon-est, I feel confl icted. While according to the internet, Don’t Stop Believin’ is an anthem that contains one of the greatest opening keyboard riffs of all time, it’s not really to my taste. The fact that it’s just over four minutes long means that I’ll need to listen to it roughly forty seven times on my way in to work. This, I feel, is unlikely to do much for my mood.

Let’s be honest: public transport strikes suck. On Friday at a rally of striking workers, one of the union of-fi cials was quoted as saying that this would be a long campaign as it was ‘a marathon, not a sprint’. To be fair, it’s only a marathon because the train from the city to Frankston isn’t operating. It seems we’re in it for the long haul and that there will be a lot more journeys to plan in the weeks ahead. If we are heading back to the 1970s, perhaps we can do so in a more complete sense. Along with public transport strikes, maybe we can look forward to other things that made the seventies great, like fl ared trousers, power blackouts and stagfl ation. Here’s hoping. Until then, don’t stop believin’.

Expert help for children’s Expert help for children’s foot and leg concernsfoot and leg concerns

Spring into shape and Spring into shape and get ready for summerget ready for summer

There are some common observations and issues related to children’s feet and legs that parents are often concerned about. We asked Muscu-loskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify some of these.

Flat Feet: Contrary to popular belief the ap-pearance of fl at feet in children, is NOT usually cause for concern. However, if there is associ-ated pain, balance issues or excessive rolling inward of the ankles, parents should seek profes-sional assistance.

Pigeon Toe & Out Toe: The appearance of in-toeing (‘pigeon toed’) or out-toeing (‘duck feet’), can affect the capacity of a child to run, jump and balance well. These issues may be as-sisted during a child’s developmental years and should be checked.

Growing Pains: Growing pains are very common and are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones. The exact na-ture of the pain should be determined as soon as possible, so should defi nitely be checked.

Shin Pain: Medial tibial stress syndrome, ante-rior leg pain and compartment syndrome are all commonly referred to as shin splints. Any shin pain should be checked.

“If your child regularly complains of foot or leg pain or has balance or mobility issues you should get it checked by an experienced muscu-loskeletal podiatrist experienced. The good news is, with proper diagnosis and correct treatment most issues can be addressed quite easily,” says Dr. Kavanagh.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics are experts in assisting

foot and leg pain, injuries and degenerative is-sues and have been the chosen experts by some of the World’s Best Athletes and thousands of people just like you. You can get expert advice at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics locations across Mel-bourne and the Mornington Peninsula, including Mt Eliza, Rye and Cheltenham.

HI my name is Robin Tu, and I am an experienced Audiologist, also known as a hearing specialist. After I graduated from the University of Mel-bourne, I have been looking after the ears and hearing of the Mornington Peninsula community for the past seven years.

I fi rst recognised the importance of hearing well when I was young. My mother suffered from severe hearing issues, and this impacted on her ability to communicate with her family and friends on a daily basis. Her job prospects and her ability to even enjoy her favourite TV shows were also restricted. This made me realise the detrimental effects of hearing loss on an individual’s commu-nication, lifestyle and overall quality of life.

As a result, this provided me the passion to help people with poorer hearing. With the assistance of hearing devices, I have seen many of my clients begin to enjoy the smaller things in life again such as: enjoying a family dinner during Christmas and birthdays, catching up with friends over coffee, and not having to ask to repeat a question when talking with others. Having specialised in adult rehabilitation, I aspired to open my own hearing company to provide the best service for all my clients.

I do that by providing individualised care, offer-ing a large variety of manufactures with up-to-date technology in hearing devices, competitive pric-ing, and most importantly, exceptional care and service for you.

My clinic is a permanent clinic, not a visiting site like some others, and is situated in the heart of Mount Eliza with easy access by buses to and from the surrounding suburbs of the Mornington Peninsula. We are located on the health strip be-hind the Australia Post with other health services including: Podiatry, Myopathy, Speech Pathology and Optometry, for your convenience.

So please come and experience the Stay Tuned Hearing service and fi nd out how well you can hear!

Peninsula based rock band Munster Terrace have been performing around the traps for 30 years now, and they will be celebrating this milestone with a special show at the Rye RSL on Saturday the 12th of September.

The band fi rst formed in 1985, and their debut gig was on the 7th of May of that year (support-ing The Saints on their return to Australia after some years based in the U.K).

It took a year or so for the early version of “Munster” to fi nd its’ feet, but by late 1986 the line-up was stable, and the band was a full-time proposition.

During the late 80s and early 90s Munster Terrace were regulars at venues all over the peninsula, with long-term residencies at loca-tions such as The Continental Hotel – Sorrento, The Rye Hotel, The Rosebud Hotel, The Flinders Hotel, both The Westernport and Kings Creek Hotels in Hastings, The Cruz Club in Mornington, The Somerville Hotel, The Baxter Tavern, The Vines (Daveys) in Frankston, and Kelly’s Hotel in Cranbourne (to name but a few).

Although classic rock covers were featured in the live repertoire, the band’s focus during this time was on original material, and two of the band’s fi rst three singles received “mainstream” attention. The fi rst Single - Rollin’ made the MMM (EON F.M) playlist, and the third - Real Hu-man Being received national exposure via MTV.

The Late 90s and early 00s saw the band move more towards corporate functions, though residencies continued at some of the previously mentioned venues, as well as at places like the Coolstores in Mooroduc.

A second Album “The Transition” was released during this time, as well as Munster originals being featured on two compilation albums.

Munster Terrace haven’t offi cially released any new original material since 2003’s “Storybook” Album, but they continue to write/compose, and continue to perform high energy showcases of classic rock covers.

Venues at which the band has performed regu-larly in more recent years include: The Retro-nome, Rye – (which has now become Baha), Beaches in Mornington, and (of course) their current “home base” - The Rye RSL.

All up, the band has clocked up 1200 gigs since its debut, and (needless to say) these fi gures would indicate that a huge number of peninsula dwellers/visitors have been entertained by Mun-ster Terrace over the years.

To survive for 30 years, and to remain a popular live act for all that time is surely a fair effort by anyone’s standards, and the band feels it’s a milestone worth celebrating.

So – “The Munsters” are inviting everyone to come along and celebrate with them in a night of live classic rock music, memories, and with a few special surprises thrown in...

These include a concert–style lighting spectacu-lar supplied by South Coast Mobile Discos, and also appearances by some special guest artists that have played a role in Munster’s journey.

There is no cover charge, and no booking requirements if you intend to turn up for the show only, but if you’d like to secure a table for a pre-show meal; reservations can be made via 59852595.

Buds are burning hotBuds are burning hotNEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt ROSEBUD is now raging hot favourite to win the Nepean Divi-sion premiership after beating Somerville for the third time this season.

The Buds led for all but two minutes of the second quarter of Saturday’s second semi fi nal at Rye’s RJ Rowley Reserve, even-tually winning 10.17 (77) to 9.7 (61).

While the Buds advanced straight to the grand fi nal, Somerville will play Sorrento in this Saturday’s preliminary fi nal at Tyabb.

Rosebud was always in control of the match against Somerville and never looked as though they were going to lose it.

Coming off a bye and two 100 plus point wins against Hastings and Tyabb in their last two matches had zero impact on the Buds, who won the game with bigger, stronger bodies and a greater desire for the contest.

The likes of Rohan Forrest, Nick Boswell, Greg Bentley, Jason Bristow, Brad McDonald and Rhys Bancroft were just too strong and powerful for their Somerville opponents.

The Eagles love to get on the outside and run and carry the footy, however at no stage were they given that opportunity on Saturday.

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell wanted a tough, inside game of footy and that’s exactly what he got.

Somerville has averaged 16 goals a match this season but on three occasions in 2015, they have not been able to boot more than nine against Rosebud.

Rosebud’s defence was superb.Keegan Downie, who is a natural forward and started in attack,

found himself in defence minding Luke Rowe. Rowe had zero impact on the match, such was the great job that Downie did.

Seb Kremich smashed Billy Rolfe, Matt Baker dominated Tommy Shaw and the likes of Daniel Wilson, Nick Boswell, Jack Jarman and Kurtis Corrin ran the ball out of the Rosebud defen-sive zone with ease and precision.

Nick Boswell was brilliant. He gained more meterage than any other player on the ground, waltzing around opponents and steaming out of defence as though the Eagles’ forwards were witches hats.

Every time Tom Baker went near the footy, he had two or three opponents, which allowed Lachy Armstrong to get on his bike and be the ‘go to’ at high half forward. He worked tirelessly.

In the ruck, Ben Dwyer was clearly the best big man on the ground. He dominated against both Justin Farrelly and Scott Simpson. His work around the ground was also outstanding.

The best player on the park was Forrest. He fi nished with more than 25 touches and three goals. His work at stoppages was sim-ply awesome. He was unstoppable.

The Somerville playmakers were all well beaten. Tim McGen-nis had just 19 possessions, many of which were ineffective. Rowan Hogenbirk had 17 and was more dangerous in attack than he was on the ball. There is no doubt that he is still struggling with the thigh injury and has no power to break away from stop-pages.

Josh Collie was quiet with 13 touches and Justin Allsop had nine.

Adrian Speedy and Ben Sedgewick were clearly the best play-ers for Somerville, while Josh Westerman was also superb, either across half back or through the middle of the ground.

The Eagles just didn’t have the ability to work their way out of the tough situation. Players got frustrated with the lack of space and constant pressure. Some were simply unable to fi nd another gear.

The reality is that fi nals footy is completely different. When Sorrento turned up the heat in the last quarter in Somerville’s fi rst fi nal, they wiltered under the pressure. Luckily, the Eagles were able to sneak home.

On Saturday against Rosebud, the Eagles couldn’t handle the pressure again. This doesn’t come down to ability, it comes down to mental toughness. Somerville has a very short amount of time to develop a tougher mindset to be able to cope with the pressure.

Sorrento will get another crack at Somerville in this Satur-day’s preliminary fi nal after tipping Red Hill out of the fi nals on Sunday.

The Sharks proved yet again that they can never be under-estimated, jumping the Hillmen early and going on to record a comfortable 18.8 (116) to 9.16 (70) victory.

The Sharks were never troubled by the Hillmen, who went into the game as favourites.

Red Hill had the aid of the breeze in the fi nal quarter but Sor-rento pushed hard against the breeze and recorded a solid victory.

Somerville has beaten Sorrento on three occasions this season, however, the Sharks will go into Saturday’s prelim chock-full of confi dence. Constant pressure: Somerville had no answer for Rosebud’s pressure game, losing by 16 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Toe PuntTHE Peninsula and Nepean Teams of the Year will be announced at MPNFL presentation din-ners over the next couple of weeks.

Coaches were asked to provide ‘their’ team of the year, based on the matches they had seen in season 2015.

Media commentators Brent Clinnick and yours truly, Toe Punt, also put together a team based on the enormous amount of footy we have seen this season.

In Peninsula, there were a total of 66 players nominated in the squad.

In Nepean, there were 60 players nominated.It was then my responsibility to put the teams

together. This was done based on the number of ‘votes’ that players received from coaches. Play-ers with the most number of votes automatically made the team.

Where there were players with an equal number of votes, I looked at whether their own coach nominated them. This was used mainly for the interchange players, as the large majority of the starting 18 in both teams picked themselves, based on the number of votes they received.

As always, the selected team is sure to raise plenty of discussion.

Team of the year - 2015Team of the year - 2015

The steamrolling StonecatsThe steamrolling StonecatsPENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt THE Frankston YCW freight train continued to steamroll anything in its path on Saturday at Frankston Park, belting Mornington by 89 points in the Peninsula Division qualifying fi -nal.

After resting up to eight players last week in the fi nal home and away game of the season, the Stonecats came out fi ring from the fi rst bounce on Sat-urday and eventually humiliated the team that almost snatched a premier-ship from them at the same venue last year.

I have been saying it for months and have been accused of being disre-spectful to the other teams in the com-petition, however I reiterate again, this is the most powerful side that I have seen on the peninsula in more than a decade.

It’s going to take a special perfor-mance from a very good footy team to prevent YCW from tasting the ulti-mate success.

The Stonecats do not have a weak link. They have bigger, stronger bod-ies than any other team, they have a wonderful blend of experience and young, raw, talent and they have out-side midfi elders who are well over 6.3’.

Frankston YCW booted 10 goals in the opening half and 13 in the second. More impressively though was the fact that they restricted the opposition to just nine goals for the match.

The 23.13 (151) to 9.8 (62) fi nal

score was nothing more than embar-rassing for Mornington.

The Dogs are supposed to be among the top three teams in the competition. They certainly didn’t play like they were.

Mornington kicked the fi rst goal of the match and led but the moment of excitement was short lived for Dog-gies’ supporters.

Mornington was that disappointed in the efforts of their team that they didn’t even register their goal kickers or best players after the game. From a club perspective, that was a poor re-fl ection of the leadership of the club.

The Frankston YCW team manager Kevin Mulvogue on the other hand got cramps in his fi ngers given the even spread of performances from his team.

Anthony Bruhn is at home at Frankston Park and he booted seven goals for the winners on Saturday, while David Bodley and Lew Rob-erts booted three each. A further seven players contributed on the scoreboard.

Craig Nankervis is one of the most unheralded players in the competition, however, rarely does he put in a bad game and he always gives his coach Scott Mathers everything he has in the tank.

Jessie Coghlan and Ryan Santon were dominant and Ash Eames suc-ceeded in his efforts to make a point that he believed he was the best big man in the competition.

The Stonecats will go into this Sat-urday’s preliminary fi nal against Mt Eliza full of confi dence after belting

the Redlegs the last time they played.Edithvale-Aspendale led all day in

the elimination fi nal to knock Pines out of the 2015 season.

The Eagles went into the game with-out key players in Aaron Pawel in the ruck and Matt Kremmer up forward.

However, despite the structural ef-fects, Mick Meehan booted four goals and Jarrod Garth three for the Eagles while Todd Woodbridge dominated on the wing.

Woodbridge had three opponents for the afternoon and was given enormous body pressure from the persistent Luke Holdcroft, however, withstood the attention and racked-up the pos-sessions.

Brett O’Hanlon helped Edithvale set up the victory in the third quarter af-ter leading by just four points at three quarter time.

With the aid of the breeze, the Ea-gles booted 4.9 to 3.1 in the third quar-ter to set-up a 24 point lead.

Pines had 19 inside 50m entries in the last quarter and got within 13 points, however Darcy Warke booted his third goal on the siren to hand the Eagles a 14.12 (96) to 10.17 (77) vic-tory.

Guy Hendry booted fi ve goals for the Pythons, while Aaron Edwards worked tirelessly at both ends of the ground. Skipper Beau Hendry was also very good for the red and green in the back half.

The Eagles will play Mornington in the First Semi Final next week. Doggies muzzled: Mornington faced a 89 belting by Frankston YCW. They will now

face Edithvale-Aspendale next week. Picture: Gary Bradshaw
