PUPILS and staff at Crib Point Pri-mary School have designed and built a practical tribute to the six Word War I soldiers who attended their school.

The school’s path project was offi cially opened at a ceremony yesterday, April 26 with all 150 pupils and 50 members of the local com-munity attending, including Captain Stephen Bowater, of HMAS Cerberus, Cr David Garnock and Toni Munday, historian at the Cerberus museum.

The path bears the names of each student and teacher who attended the school during the centenary period, and the names of past pupils who bought pavers as part of the project.

“We’ve been working on it over the past two years and we’ve fi nally completed it,” parent Raelene Mc-Cracken said.

“The idea came from staffer Anna Bianchin and was designed to com-plete the front of the school, joining

the Remembrance garden and the Gallipoli oak.

Money for the project came from the Anzac centenary grant program.

“We hope that the school is something that our community can be proud of and that it becomes an important part of our school as well as the greater Crib Point community, commemorating a small part of our diverse history,” Ms McCracken said. Picture: Gary Sissons

Crash site: Police examine the circumstances surrounding the fatality in Hunts Rd, Tuerong, last week. Picture: Gary Sissons

A FRENCH vineyard worker died when the car he was driving hit a tree on a property in Tuerong, early morn-ing Saturday 16 April.

He and an Italian man were report-edly coming home after a night out when the collision occurred beside the driveway of the Hunts Rd property, 5.30am.

The French man died at the scene, while his passenger was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with serious injuries. Both are said to be aged in their mid-20s with only one week left on their contracts.

The exact circumstances of the collision were being investigated last week, but Senior Sergeant Steve Burt,

of Hastings police, said speed and alcohol could be factors. There is a 30kph sign at the front gate.

Because the fatality occurred on pri-vate property, it will not be included in the road toll. Anyone with informa-tion can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confi dential report to crimestoppersvic.com.au

Fatality after night out

MORNINGTON Peninsula shire is eyeing a share of $1 billion in state government funding to improve road safety.

It is aiming to become the fi rst mu-nicipality in Australia to align itself with the TAC’s new Towards Zero campaign.

Six fatalities in the shire this year are among an average annual 120 serious injuries from crashes.

Four locations have been initially

Shire first to sign for state’s road safety campaign

identifi ed to achieve Safe System prin-ciple measures or better:

Point Nepean Rd, Rye: This com-mercial area has had four cyclist and fi ve pedestrian casualties in the past fi ve years;

Balnarring township: Regular crash-es here identify the area as “high risk” to vulnerable road users;

Coolart Rd: This rural arterial cor-ridor has had three fatalities and 39 casualties in the past fi ve years, and

Mornington Peninsula Freeway: A high incidence of run-off-road crashes in the section from Peninsula Link to Rosebud has resulted in many fatali-ties and serious injuries.

The mayor Cr Graham Pittock said that while the shire had made “substan-tial commitments” to road safety im-provements over many years, road trau-ma remained at “unacceptable levels”.

“The shire will collaborate with the TAC, VicRoads and Victoria Police to demonstrate safe system principles and become the fi rst Towards Zero municipality,” he said.

“Being a declared Towards Zero municipality best positions the shire to attract state government funding for improving our roads and reducing road trauma.”

Tools stolenPOWER tools valued at $1100 were stolen from a utility parked in the driveway of a house in Somerville, 1am, Tuesday 26 April. Police said the drills, a Makita valued at $400, and Milwaukie valued at $700, were taken from a locked tool box in the Toyota parked in Eramosa Rd East. The owners heard a noise and saw a man, described as Caucasian, early 20s, medium build, 183cm tall, drive off in a black Holden VT Commo-dore. He was wearing khaki tradie shorts, grey singlet and grey baseball cap with black peak.

A CERBERUS naval instructor can look back on an active family history spanning three generations of service.

Petty Offi cer Amanda Garstin, of Hastings, attended yesterday’s Anzac service in civilian attire as she is on leave. A keen photographer, she knew being out of uniform would allow her more freedom to take photos.

Since joining the navy as a com-munications information system sailor in 1999 Ms Garstin has received the Australian Defence Medal, Returned from Active Service Badge, Defence

Long Service Medal, Australia Day Medallion, Clasp S Pacifi c 2006 to the Australian Service Medal, Afghanistan Medal, Australian Active Service Medal with Clasp ICAT, and Australian Service Medal with Clasp Solomon Islands.

Her maternal grandfather, John Langman (1925-2003), was a leading aircraftman in the RAAF, 1943-1946, who served as an assistant navigator in World War II. He was a founding member of Crib Point RSL and also on the former Hastings Shire Council

until the mid-1970s, and as shire president 1967-68.

Her father, Godfrey Garstin, had an extensive naval career, 1968-2005, returning 2013-16 as a fi rst lieuten-ant at HMAS Stirling. He was on the active reserve 2005-13.

Sister Michelle Oakden is a squad-ron leader in the RAAF, serving since 1996 at Laverton. Brother, Michael, currently living in Sydney, NSW, was also a member of the RAN in com-munications and information systems, serving 2005-12.

Family’s history of service

A BLOCK of land at the HMAS Cer-berus naval base has been set aside for a new Crib Point CFA station.

Firefi ghters had approached the federal government two years ago for a new site, concerned about their own dilapidated fi re station and the urgent need for upgraded facilities.

“We worked closely with the CFA and the Department of Defence to se-cure land at Cerberus on a peppercorn lease,” Flinders MP Greg Hunt said.

The new fi re station may take several years “but this is a fi rst step in securing funds to build it”, Mr Hunt

said.“The recent fi res highlighted the

vital work of the Crib Point CFA and the protection they provide for the community.”

South East Region CFA opera-tions offi cer Troy Thornton said he was “excited” about the partnership between HMAS Cerberus and the Crib Point CFA and the opportunities it would provide.

“Crib Point CFA is in desperate need of a new fi re station and this is the fi rst step towards making this hap-pen,” he said.

CFA on track for new base

Car taken, foundA CAR was stolen from the driveway of a house in Eliza Pl, Somerville, when the owner went inside for a glass of water, 3.20pm, Monday. The 2004 Holden Commodore SS was later found in Carol St, Mornington with its number plates missing. Police are searching for a Caucasian man, late 20s, black hair, with tattoos on his right arm.

Units rifledTHIEVES cut the padlocks to two self-storage units in Simcock St, Somerville, sometime between 20-25 April. Roller doors were opened but it is not certain what was taken. Police are examining CCTV footage. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

ESTABLISHED as a “temporary” school in 1987 and left to take care of itself over the following 30 years, it’s no wonder Mornington Special Devel-opment School is dilapidated and run down.

Claims of asbestos hidden inside the walls, leaky roofs, run-down portables and substandard facilities don’t paint a pretty picture of the school in what’s acknowledged as being a low socio-economic part of town.

That’s not to say the care and wel-fare of its 33 students is neglected, it’s not, but the surroundings are less than desired by the seven staff and principal David Newport.

Despite last week’s trumpeting by the state government that it will earmark $156 million from the budget to educate students with disabilities, and spend $68.5 million on refurbishing 20 spe-cialist schools, the Mornington school has again been left out in the cold.

“We are not on the list and no one has contacted me,” Mr Newport said.

“There is no process [for updating facilities] that I know of and it is very frustrating as we want to afford our students as much dignity as possible.

“We need fi t-for-purpose facilities for our 33 students and nine kindergar-ten-age pupils.”

Mornington MP David Morris has called on the state government to fund the “much needed relocation” of Mornington Special Developmental School to Hastings.

“The school is in a poor state, and

needs to be relocated to the land set aside for it there,” he said.

“The government must have over-looked the Mornington special school. With less than 50 students, it is too of-ten overlooked.”

It was always expected that the school would receive new buildings, and ageing plans are awaiting approval at head offi ce, but “we haven’t heard anything,” Mr Newport admitted. “I think it’s a case of being out of sight, out of mind.”

He said he would contact the Educa-tion Department and “explore alterna-tive avenues for obtaining funds”.

Mr Newport – who joined the school in November after 13 years as princi-pal of Springvale Park Special Devel-opment School – was unaware of any proposed move to Hastings.

He estimated the school needed $50,000-$100,000 to renovate its port-ables and update its playgrounds in Robertson Drive.

Despite the physical neglect, he praised the compassion and capabili-ties of his staff. “The school is what it is,” he said.

“Because we are small we all pull together and each teacher knows each student. We provide speech therapy and physiotherapy.

“The teachers go above and beyond to provide the best in care and attention for their students.”

Mr Morris said he called on the gov-ernment to fund the proposed reloca-tion in last year’s budget – but “no funds were forthcoming”.

“This will be the second budget where the government has refused to provide funding for students in our

Special school left off funding listStephen [email protected]

community who are most in need.”Mr Morris said that being listed in

the Victorian Building Futures Pro-gram for rebuilding and relocation to Hastings meant the school was unable to receive Building the Education Rev-olution funding.

“The school was offered a new port-

able, but, with their limited space, they could not accept it and reluctantly had to hand the money back,” he said.

“The school currently has no perma-nent buildings and lacks many facili-ties that most other schools enjoy. In 2009 they had 10 portable buildings with an average age of 30 years.

“The school has done a fantastic job with what they have. They de-liver great outcomes for students, and the staff work tirelessly to ensure that students aren’t disadvantaged by their school facilities.

“It is time the government played their part.”

FED up with having cars parked across their driveways, rubbish strewn in streets and on lawns, and 20-some-things wandering the streets urinating behind bushes, “concerned residents” in Mt Martha have formed The Pillars Residents Action Group.

Theirs is a campaign from the heart, and they are determined to protect their little piece of paradise from what’s become a marauding herd of young people invading the once-pristine shoreline – in ever-growing numbers.

As part of their campaign, the group successfully requested young people’s tourism website AWOL – which had listed “Jumping off The Pillars” as one of the ‘Top 20 things to do’ on the Mornington Peninsula – to remove reference to the site from their web page. The site had claimed to reach “over two million young and engaged Australians every month”.

Another possible catalyst to their cam-paign was the ripping out of six no-park-ing signs by disgruntled young motorists looking for easy places to park.

Up to 800 young people visited The Pillars one day last summer for some ‘cool’ fun in the sun, swimming in the clear waters and jumping off the rock formations. It’s a pattern repeated eve-ry warm day and most weekends over summer, and spurred on by favourable comments on social media.

“Our group formed in response to the current situation where high numbers of non-local young people are coming to the area to jump off

the rocky cliffs,” group member Sue Davey said.

“They are parking illegally, leaving rubbish everywhere – including in Lily Gully reserve at the bottom of Deakin Drive – and generally causing havoc in streets nearby.”

The residents’ group is not satisfi ed with Mornington Peninsula Shire’s

proposal to lift the current ‘no parking’ restrictions in many local streets.

“For residents in these streets, this is unacceptable,” Ms Davey said. “There are no formal pathways or crossings to get to The Pillars, no bins, many roads are narrow and unsealed and there are no toilets or facilities.”

A shire traffi c and transport team

plan to “holistically address parking concerns” near The Pillars aims to en-sure minimum road widths are main-tained through parking restrictions.

Traffi c and road safety offi cer Digby Smith told the group by email that “most community concerns highlight-ed that road access (particularly in the case of an emergency) was being im-peded by parked vehicles on both sides of local roads near The Pillars”.

He said there were inconsistencies in current parking restrictions, particu-larly on Deakin Drive. “As a result, it is proposed that parking only be re-stricted on one side of Deakin Drive.”

“At this stage the traffi c and trans-port team is compiling feedback like yours about the parking plan for Briars Ward councillors … and to be able to update the community with a fi nalised parking plan.”

The shire is liaising with the Depart-ment of Environment, Land, Water and Planning and VicRoads over long-term plans for the popular site.

Mr Smith said: “Initial feedback from DELWP is that closing The Pil-lars is not an option given their experi-ences in other locations.

“We have raised concerns related to the ongoing erosion, safety of pedes-trians using the cliffs and crossing The Esplanade, rubbish issues as well as poor behaviour being exhibited on a regular basis.

“It is intended that a long-term direc-tion be determined by the land man-ager responsible for The Pillars so that we can then implement infrastructure, enforcement and education to support this direction.”

Mr Smith said a group request for

a path between Mt Martha shops and The Pillars had “been recorded into our footpath construction database for future consideration”.

The shire said constructing a foot-path along The Esplanade was “a very diffi cult project given the terrain, cul-turally sensitive sites in the area, sig-nifi cant native vegetation and minimal space within the road reserve”.

“Given the footpath would be on crown land managed by DELWP, their consent would also be required. We receive a large number of requests for paths on the peninsula and a path be-tween Mt Martha shops and The Pil-lars is not currently a high priority,” Mr Smith said.

Ms Davey, of Lempriere Av, said the group had “no intention of closing The Pillars”.

“We just want to get rid of the rub-bish, parking problems, have safe walking paths from the South Beach carpark, and parking bays in Margue-rita Av and Deakin Drive.”

Another idea is to build a lookout overseeing The Pillars to take away what’s attracting young people in the fi rst place. “About 99 per cent of the visitors are P-platers and we think they love the fact that it’s hidden away,” Ms Davey said. “Having families able to access a lookout and watching them would take away its allure.”

The group has created a Facebook page where interested parties can com-ment, with entries to be forward to the council before the end of April.

FITTER and stronger – that’s how Somerville Secondary College students will feel thanks to a Rotary donation of $8000 in gym equipment.

The hardware has been set up in a special pur-pose weight training area in the school’s Rotary weights and fi tness room.

Somerville Tyabb Rotary Club president Chris Such handed over the equipment to members of the school council and students at a function last week. “In June, the Rotary club celebrates its 30th anniversary. Over the years it has been active in the local community,” he said.

A THREE-DAY indigenous wetland warden training course at the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Gathering Place, Hastings, last week taught par-ticipants how to identify Australian shorebirds and waterbirds.

Financed through the federal government’s National Landcare Program, the aim was to equip local indigenous people with conservation

skills which can help improve their knowledge of the local area and open up job opportunities.

The training course – free for all indigenous participants – offers input from industry experts, as well as visits to the internationally signifi cant Ramsar wetlands in the area.

A similar course was run for members of the Gunaikurnai community in West Gippsland.

FIT and active, lean and strong … that doesn’t sound like the CV of a poten-tial heart attack victim, but the biggest killer of adult Australians is anything but predictable.

To prove that point, more than 100 patients have gone through Peninsula Health’s new chest pain unit in less than two months and one, Pearcedale’s Dale Worthington, certainly doesn’t fi t the mould of the usual victims.

Mr Worthington, a 41 year old kitchen-and-bathroom renovator, was at work when he experienced a loss of breath and tightness in his chest.

He went straight to his doctor who referred him on to Frankston Hospital where he became the 101st patient

to go through the Rapid Assessment Chest Pain Unit which was opened by Premier Daniel Andrews and Health Minister Jill Hennessy only in Febru-ary.

At the unit, specialist cardiologists provided a quick assessment of his chest pain – one of more than 2000 patients they will see each year.

An ECG showed fl uid around his heart.

“If I was a smoker or drinker or obese I’d know that I have to change my lifestyle, but, in my case, I’m not really sure what I’ll have to do”, he said.

Access to the unit was a lifesaver for Mr Worthington whose heart was rac-ing at 199 beats per minute. “I am nor-mally very fi t; I watch what I eat and weigh my food and count the calories

so I can compete in body building,” he said, which makes the exact cause of the problem hard to pinpoint.

Heart issues on both sides of his fam-ily may provide a clue.

Even after concerted efforts by doc-tors and the absorption of beta block-ers, Mr Worthington’s heart was still pounding away at 114 beats per minute but, thankfully, stabilised a few days later at 75 beats.

While still having all sorts of tests, Mr Worthington said treatment at the new unit had made the inconvenience at least bearable.

“I had the best experience,” he said. “The unit is fantastic and the staff were amazing.”

He says he’ll be paying more atten-tion to his health from now on.

Heart attacks less deadly now assessed quicklyHeart attacks less deadly now assessed quickly

Taking heart: Chest pain unit registrar Dr Tim Smith, patient Dale Worthington, and associate nurse manager Western Port Damian Flenley.

After distribution of preferences in the six-candidate contest, Ms Gleixner had 42.37 per cent of the votes com-pared to Mr Dixon’s 57.63 per cent.

Ms Gleixner has a Building Certifi -cate, Degree in Construction Manage-ment and a Masters in Project Man-agement.

She has recently worked in Germany and before that was a “team leader … specialising in effective change lead-ership” for a development consultancy in Melbourne.

“My career experience has given me a practical understanding of business effi ciency and effectiveness, and a fo-cus on solid outcomes, which I intend to put to good use in Canberra,” Ms Gleixner stated in a news release an-nouncing her candidacy for Flinders.

Mr Hunt is the federal government’s environment minister.

“I will be focusing on the environ-ment, including protecting Point Ne-pean, Ramsar listed Western Port and our national treasure, the Great Barrier Reef – which have all been under at-tack from past and current Liberal governments,” Ms Gleixner said

“I am really angered by the Liberals lack of respect and constant attacks on the environment.”

She said people were “appalled” at the government’s attitude towards the environment “and want an MP

Former state candidate sets sights on Canberra

who will address climate change and strongly advocate for alternative re-newable energy use and innovation, including advocating for a fair return for rooftop solar”.

Ms Gleixner said she would also be “strongly advocating for Gonski needs based funding for our schools and af-fordable tertiary education”.

Ms Gleixner said the government had made to cuts to the health budget and, if elected, would “advocate for maintaining Medicare … Labor set up Medicare and we want to keep it”.

She said a Labor government would “save our economy” and release the country from “the undue infl uence of corporate giants”.

Labor’s hope: Carolyn Gleixner is Labor’s candidate for the federal seat of Flinders held for the past 15 years by Greg Hunt.

MEMORIES of happy holidays at Mer-ricks beach in her married years proved an irresistible attraction to Shoreham resident Dorothy Ellen Johnson as a place to live in her retirement.

After moving to the Mornington Peninsula to live at Shoreham House 10 years ago she celebrated her centenary, surrounded by family and friends, on Monday last week.

“What a fabulous century she has had,” son Phil Johnson said. “She has experienced everything from steam to electricity, lived through two world wars and the Roaring 20s, danced to

rock ‘n’ roll and the twist – she’s seen it all.”

Mrs Johnson – nee Tamblyn – worked for Coles stores in the 1930s as a 20-year-old, helping sales girls set up their departments, while travel-ling from store to store all over the city and even to Western Australia.

She married Mervyn Johnson in 1950 and they moved to Syndal to bring up their three children: Phillip, Ian and Rodney.

Mervyn was an engineer with the Melbourne City Council whose par-ents had a holiday house at Merricks –

one of the oldest having been built in 1927. The family loved their holidays by the seaside, and always thought of the place as their second home. Mervyn died in 1983 and they spent 33 years together.

But Mrs Johnson has many happy memories of their life together and of holidaying at Merricks beach. It was just the place for Mrs Johnson to live in her later years.

Helping her celebrate on Monday last week were her sons and their wives, four great grandchildren and six grandchildren. Stephen Taylor

INDIAN mynas are known as the “cane toads of the sky” – and for good reason.

After being introduced into Melbourne market gardens in the 1860s, in the misguided belief that they would control insects, their numbers along the eastern seaboard have skyrocketed.

They adapt easily to urban and rural land-scapes and are now recognised by the World Conservation Union as one of the world’s 100 worst pest species.

The aggressive, territorial pests are a serious threat to native birds and other small animals. Concerned about their effect on local native bird species, Southwest Mornington Peninsula Land-care Group members invite residents to become part of their Indian myna trapping project.

The group was overwhelmed when more than 90 people attended their trap-making workshop in February. More than 130 people have regis-tered an interest in taking action to protect native wildlife by joining the trapping program. Par-ticipants sign an animal welfare protocol com-mitting them to using humane, state-approved methods when euthanising the pests.

Fauna ecologist Malcolm Legg will explain how to set up a Start Your Own Trapping workshop, 10am-noon, Saturday 30 April, at Dromana Community Hall, 359 Pt Nepean Rd, Dromana. His email is [email protected]

Mornington Peninsula Landcare staff are working with men’s sheds across the peninsula in building traps for the project. They hope the trapping project will ease pressure on indigenous fauna.

It’s reported the Cairns Remove Indian Mynas Group, working with their local men’s sheds, have removed about 40,000 birds since 2011. Interest in the trapping program will ensure a similarly positive result can be achieved here, they say. Details: call 5950 1279.

Mynas have become a major matter

ALWAYS polite, Frank Hart never-theless knew how to make a point or win an argument. Preparation and knowledge was a key to his success.

A seafarer and former harbourmas-ter at the Port of Hastings, Mr Hart’s many qualities were remembered and highlighted in the accounts of his life given at his funeral in Mt Martha on Thursday 24 March.

Mr Hart, 82, had died the previous Sunday from pancreatic cancer.

Ann Forrest, his partner of 32 years, described him as a “practical, hands on man” enamoured by sailing since being a nine-year-old in England’s Lake District where he would “con lifts with fi shermen”.

He was a boarder 1946-50 at The Nautical College, Pangbourne, near the Thames in Berkshire, which at that time offered a curriculum specifi -cally designed to prepare young men for the merchant marine. In his fi nal year he won the school’s seamanship skills cup before going to sea as a cadet, rising to the rank of second in command.

His early years at sea with the Brit-ish merchant navy saw him bring-ing cargoes to Australia and New Zealand. He migrated to Australia with his fi rst wife Wendy Brown and son Timothy in 1960, setting up house at Boronia.

After having two jobs connected with stevedoring in his adopted coun-try and fi ve years with the Austral-ian merchant marine, Mr Hart was appointed assistant harbourmaster at the Port of Hastings in 1966, a posi-tion he held for six years before being

Voyage ends for a master mariner

given the top job which he held for 16 years.

He and Wendy and sons Timothy, Richard and Malcolm, lived at fi rst in Crib Point and then Hastings as a requirement of being harbourmaster. The couple divorced in 1982.

Mr Hart met Ms Forrest in 1984 and they lived in Mornington for 15 years and then Frankston for 13. They moved back to Mornington just over two years ago.

While in Frankston Mr Hart spent a decade with Frankston Beach As-sociation, becoming at various times

president and secretary. Mr Hart was a critic of the plans to build a marina at the foot of Olivers Hill, both for reasons of marine safety and the effect he believed it would have on beaches from Frankston to Mordialloc and in Daveys Bay, Mt Eliza.

After many decades, the marina has never materialised, although Frankston Council remains offi cially committed to its development.

In later years Mr Hart became known as an “expert witness” during hearings into the state government’s Port Phillip channel deepening

project. Leader of the Blue Wedges campaign against the channel deepen-ing Jenny Warfe, said Mr Hart was “an unexpected but most welcome arrival”.

“It soon became obvious that through his expertise as a master mariner ... Frank was offering us a rare gift,” Ms Warfe said in an email soon after hearing of Mr Hart’s death.

The campaign ultimately failed and environmentalists now say the loss of sand at Portsea’s bay beach is one of the consequences of the dredging.

Ms Warfe said Frank Hart’s “unique contribution” to the anti-channel deepening campaign “was alert-ing us to aspects of the project we hadn’t even thought of: including the complexities of the shipping industry, channel design and current speed, and the risks associated with moving ever bigger and bigger ships through shal-low treacherous waters”.

“Frank was an expert in the true sense. He was deeply well informed. He wasn’t paid for his opinion, he gave it freely. He owed no-one and no-one owed him,” Ms Warfe said.

“He spent hundreds of hours prepar-ing for these appearances, researching widely and writing detailed witness statements. No doubt his evidence contributed to the highly creden-tialed 2004 panel recommending that the project, as designed, should not proceed.”

Ms Forrest said Mr Hart had been an advocate for Western Port as the “logical” site for Victoria’s next con-tainer port.

“He believed in it thoroughly

because it had the depth for big ships, there were rail links and it seemed ridiculous for ships to spend four and a half hours in Port Phillip to reach the Port of Melbourne,” Ms Forrest told The News.

However, in recent years Mr Hart had changed his mind, saying “Darwin is going to be the port for Australia” as Melbourne was “too far away” for ships to come.

“All over the world countries are shifting their ports to the ocean’s edge, not in bays. They can off-load their cargoes straight onto rail.”

One source of great pride to Mr Hart was a boat far smaller than those which had had had a hand in bringing safely to port. Ms Forrest jokingly says she was “behind Isabella [a 29 foot Harrison Butler designed sloop] in the pecking order”.

As a couple, Ms Forrest and Mr Hart sailed many seas in the Isabella.

The sloop’s journeys included a shorthanded 19-day trip to New Zealand in 1997, which saw it battle through three storms, the same ones that created havoc in that year’s Syd-ney to Hobart.

In her obituary to Mr Hart, Ms For-rest recalled how they had fi rst met aboard the Isabella and how “sailing became our connection, both north and south of the Equator”.

“I can still see us sailing under the bridge at San Remo, Phillip Island, on the way across Bass Strait to Tasma-nia. Not a quick passage on Isabella, but always cosy and, as Frank said, it gave us more time to count the stars.”

The Western Port WhispererTHE Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer enjoy a good read, however, they’ve never been fans of horror stories by Stephen King. Thus, the recent publication they read was just too frightening for them both.

The Shire’s ‘Proposed Budget for 2016/2017’, (or as The Whisperer likes to call it ‘Where’s Western Port?) will disappoint, but not shock readers of this column.

The only signifi cant local project funded in the next fi nancial year is the plan for reduced carparks, the loss of light poles and the removal of trees from High Street, Hastings (refer to the last column by The Whisperer).

Once again, the issues ‘our’ Shire are supposedly passionate about (the

Otama and other local infrastructure) in the Western Port region have been ignored.

The Whisperer understands why the anti-shire movement in the Western Port region is growing, but is baffl ed the Shire is not doing anything to de-fend itself before a community losing patience with them.

***UNLESS you are visually impaired, are living in mangroves or at the bottom of a pothole, the graffi ti crisis in every Western Port township is obvious.

Our shire, United Energy, VicRo-ads, Victoria Police and others must have little respect for us, and even less for their own assets.

Our train line, roadways, power poles, fences and public buildings (including the halls at Somerville, Bittern and Hastings) all are reminis-cent of fi lthy public toilets.

Hopefully common sense will prevail, however, considering none of our towns seem important, and we are not on the Port Phillip coastline, don’t expect these bureaucrats to act any time soon.

It appears the only way this issue will be treated seriously is if it takes place in Main Street, Mornington or Nepean Highway, Rosebud.

How on earth can any bureaucrat, working from Besgrove Street, or in an offi ce in Melbourne, endorse such ‘kiddie vandalism’ as acceptable for

the Western Port region? It is bad enough shops are closing

and there is nothing substantial to give business a boost in the region, so why would these bureaucrats con-sider it fi ne to allow another plague of fi xable issues to wreck our region even further.

Maybe if the graffi ti is offensive, and located on the offi ces of bureau-crats, it would be removed.

***THE Whisperer has received emails about a giant hole in Somerville.

Mrs Whisperer was convinced these were foretelling the annual MPNG April Fool’s Day joke, how-ever, this was certainly no joke!

The Whisperer assumed the emails

were pothole related, and certainly not related to a 30-meter-deep ‘open cut mine’.

News of deep potholes is common nowadays, however, apologies for not taking the issue seriously until now.

Talk about The Whisperer digging his own hole!

For the record, The Whisperer is not a fan of this in Somerville, but supports the idea of it being dug in Rosebud.

This could end the swimming pool debate which has dragged on longer than a Rolling Stones tour!

THE state government has signed a memorandum of understanding with Melbourne University to establish a marine research centre in part of the heritage listed former quarantine sta-tion despite a master plan for the fu-ture use of Point Nepean National Park not being due for release until later this year.

The agreement means that the uni-versity will receive $2.1m over six years from the National Environmen-tal Science Program towards estab-lishing a National Centre for Coasts and Climate (NCCC).

The university says it will provide a $3m “matching investment”.

Vice-chancellor Professor Glyn Davis said the university was “happy to be moving forward with more ac-tive discussions about its plans for the site”.

“The Point Nepean National Park provides a unique place-based learn-ing and research environment,” Prof Davis said.

“The university hopes to contribute to the future of the park, and looks for-ward to working with government and with the community in exploring this development.”

The state and federal governments left it up to the university to issue a news release about the proposal which it says is “still subject to the commu-nity consultation process that will in-form the Point Nepean Master Plan”.

The Victorian National Parks Asso-ciation’s project manager Chris Smyth said giving the university “preferred

occupier” status was pre-empting the master planning process.

Mr Smyth said previous proposals for Point Nepean by the university had been fl awed and gave notice that the VNPA would “vigorously oppose any similar proposal”.

“Preferred uses should be those that are open to public scrutiny and max-imise benefi t to the national park, not those for which the public has been sidelined in the process,” he said.

The state Minister for Environ-ment, Climate Change and Water, Lisa Neville, said the agreement with Melbourne University would not pre-empt outcomes of the process by Parks Victoria “that will inform the Point Nepean master plan that is currently underway”.

Ms Neville said the federal govern-ment’s $2.1 million would have been lost if the state had not come to an agreement with the university.

She said the money was “going to be taken off the table at this federal budget”.

“If the community does not support the university’s proposal, it won’t go ahead, which is clear in the MoU,” Ms Neville said.

The student union publication Farra-go in March 2015 reported the NCCC “has been designed as an educational interface between the university and the general public” with the university concentrating on “outreach programs and research activity pertaining to coastal productivity”.

“A Coastal Discovery Facility will be

Keith [email protected]

constructed within the main complex that will serve as an interactive learn-ing centre and public aquarium, show-casing Southern Ocean marine life. The university plans to use this space to run short courses in environmental science, management and engineering. Construction on the entire facility has already begun, with completion ex-pected in 2016,” Farrago reported.

The university says the centre will research coastal ecology and manage-ment, “as well as delivering teaching in those areas”.

The university also hopes to es-tablish a Coastal Discovery Centre, “showcasing this research and contrib-uting to greater public understanding of the ecological and cultural treasures of Point Nepean”.

Flinders MP and Environment Min-ister Greg Hunt said that the $2.1m re-search funding “will enable the NCCC to pursue research focusing on carbon accumulation rates in coastal veg-etated habitats - known as blue carbon - coastal erosion and coastal revegeta-tion”.

Long an advocate for coastal re-search at Point Nepean, Mr Hunt said the money was “intended to position the NCCC as a world-class research facility into the threats and opportuni-ties presented by climate change in the coastal zone”.

“The old quarantine station’s empty buildings are an ideal location for this research centre. It will allow for the adaptive re-use and ongoing care of some of the site’s nationally-signifi -cant heritage precinct,” he said.

Mr Hunt said the NCCC would be a partner in the Earth Systems and Cli-

mate Change Hub under the National Environmental Science Program.

The 2009 management plan signed by then state Environment Minister Gavin Jennings and his federal coun-terpart Peter Garrett also proposed a National Centre for Coasts and Cli-mate at the quarantine station.

There was no mention of the Univer-sity of Melbourne: “There is an oppor-tunity to encourage educational vis-its, particularly by secondary school groups undertaking curriculum-based and VCE studies, and tertiary study groups covering a range of disciplines including the sciences, arts and hu-manities,” the plan stated.

The years leading up to that plan saw the Launceston-based Australian Maritime College and La Trobe Uni-versity abandon plans to occupy part of the national park.

Melbourne University was included in the 2014 proposal by the Point Lei-sure Group and accepted by the Denis Napthine-led state government based around a luxury hotel, thermal pools and “health and wellness”.

The current state government won’t say how much it paid to end the con-tract with the Point Leisure group.

The latest announcement seems a far cry from the university’s initial plans for the NCCC which, on 26 June 2010, Mr Hunt told parliament involved a $7m fi t-out of buildings; provided places for 110 students; $2m “trail-ing rent”; $50 million provided by the Commonwealth through different sources; and, the state placing $10 mil-lion in escrow “purely for the purposes of the quarantine station area”.

By Peter McCulloughSTEWART Watt was born in Somer-ville and lived for most of his life in the Western Port area. Originally an orchardist on the family property in Watts Road, his passion was leather work and for the latter part of his working life he was a saddler. Highly respected and strongly committed to his community, Stewart passed away on 7 April at the age of 85. A large crowd attended Holy Trinity church in Hastings where the funeral was held on 16 April, Rev. Alex Packett offi ciating. The eulogy was given by son, David, supported by other family members. This obituary is based on David’s eulogy.

***STEWART’S great grandparents arrived from Scotland in 1853 and took up land to farm at Campbellfi eld to the north of Melbourne. One of their sons, James, who was born in 1864, became a horse breaker and saddler. He joined the police force and in 1890 Mounted Trooper James Watt became the fi rst offi cer to be stationed at Hastings. When he retired from the force in 1913 he took up fruit growing full time on the orchard that he established in Watts Road. To the locals this section of Frankston-Flinders Road is still known as “Watts Road.”

On 9 May, 1930 Stewart James David Watt was born in the Somer-ville hospital to Len and Laura Watt. He was the younger brother of Alison and Margaret. Stewart grew up on the orchard which by this time was being run by his father.

Stewart attended Hastings State School and on his fi rst day, when photographs were being taken, he was seated beside a young girl named Anne McKenzie. Seventeen years later they were married at Holy Trinity in Hastings. Co-incidentally Anne’s family came from Lossie-mouth in Scotland which is where her mother-in-law’s family originated.

During the war Stewart attended Frankston Tech., leaving at fi fteen to work on the orchard with his father. Horses were an interest from an early age and so too were motor bikes as he grew older; his pride and joy was a Royal Enfi eld.

Stewart and Anne built their fi rst home on the orchard and raised their family: Katrina, David, Rhonda and Allan. As the children grew up they had free reign of the orchard with Stewart’s only injunction “...and don’t go in the spray shed.”So there were rafts on the dam and secret tunnels in the apple case shed; all good fun, although riding on a sheet of iron be-ing pulled behind the lorry may have

been on the risky side! The growth of the family revived

Stewart’s interest in ponies with horses being bred, educated, and ridden by all members. Family rides through Hastings on a Sunday morn-ing when the town was a lot quieter, and longer rides to Tooradin, are great family memories.

The advent of the horses renewed Stewart’s interest in leatherwork, a passion which had started at primary school when he made “shanghais” for his fellow students for three pence each. His father’s leather apron grew shorter and shorter as a consequence!

A venture into polo playing came to an abrupt halt when Anne attended a competition game and considered it too dangerous for the father of a young family. So Stewart returned to his hobby of saddlery and harness making.

With four children it was natural that Stewart and Anne would become involved with school committees, boy scouts, girl guides, basketball, school sports, and church programmes. Stewart became a dab hand at making up sets and setting up lighting for ballet concerts.

Having lived most of his life in the Hastings/Somerville area it was inevitable that Stewart would become involved in local community activi-ties. He was a volunteer fi reman with the Hastings CFA for 25 years and a member of Hastings Rotary for 30 years, serving as both President and Secretary. In fact both he and Anne were awarded the Paul Harris Fel-lowship for service to Rotary and the community. They were both members of Probus and Stewart served a term as President of Somerville Probus Club.

The Western Port area changed with the arrival of various industries and consequently Stewart sold the orchard in 1974 for housing development; this was at a time when it was producing 30,000 cases of apples a year.

After spending half his working life as an orchardist, Stewart then fulfi lled his dream of being a saddler and harness maker. As well as conducting saddlery classes at his own workshop on their smaller property in Merricks North, Stewart spent eighteen years teaching saddlery and practical horse skills part time at both Glenormiston and Dookie Agricultural Colleges.

He took horse management students from the colleges on a study tour of New Zealand. Stewart also under-took many private commissions for saddles and harnesses and, according to family members, there would not be a picking bag or horse rug on the peninsula that he hasn’t repaired at some point.

The Merricks North property was an ideal base for trail rides and it be-came the spot for riders to leave their cars and horse fl oats. Stewart enjoyed participating in these rides and also looked forward to the occasional excursion to the high country beyond Mansfi eld.

Stewart and Anne started their overseas travels around 1980 as the children left home and, with some members living in England and grandchildren arriving, there was always a good excuse for another overseas trip.

In 1998 the Watts moved to Somer-ville where Stewart’s passion for

gardening and building was evident as the garden he established at Vista Court was included in the Open Gar-den Scheme. A new workshop was built and the leather work continued. While living in Somerville Stewart spent six years on the maintenance committee at Iluka Guide Camp in Shoreham.

Stewart and Anne’s next move was to St. Johns Retirement Village in Somerville in 2009. There was a smaller garden and a much-scaled-down workshop, but the extra time allowed them to enjoy more Probus and social outings.

With a deterioration in his health, Stewart was placed in The Bays Aged Care facility in Hastings in 2013. This was just down the road from, and in sight of, the old orchard; according to Stewart it was just like coming home. At The Bays he was taken care of by the devoted, professional and caring staff prior to his passing at the age of 85.

Executive home in exclusive location

SET on a beautifully landscaped 4046 square metre block, this stunning executive residence immediately captures the senses with a wonderful expanse of pristine lawn and hedgerows that fl ank the superb driveway leading to two enormous garages. Boasting zoned living on a scale rarely seen, every aspect of the property exudes class with an impressive array of high tech features included into the mix. Front and centre from the grand entry foyer is a large open plan family room with a full bar, two way Jet Master fi replace and a study nook. To the right is a formal lounge

room with surround sound – making this space perfect for a home cinema – and across the hall is the formal dining room accessible from the well-appointed kitchen. Complete with handsome stone benchtops, the kitchen also showcases glistening white cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances including a rangehood and wall-oven. The master stroke of the interior layout is undoubtedly the master bedroom suite that enjoys its own wing of the home. Moving past a dazzling ensuite with spa, and an equally impressive dressing room, the main bedroom has

been decorated in soft neutral tones and has a relaxing outlook to the sensational pool and deck area. Two more bedrooms in the opposite wing share a second bathroom, and a separate home offi ce could be a fourth bedroom if required. The exceptional outdoor zone smoothly opens from the brilliant family room for an effortless transition from indoor to outdoor entertaining. An in-ground swim spa is surrounded by timber decking and a second alfresco deck has a Vergola opening roof and overlooks the private backyard.

ABOUT 700 turned up for the Anzac dawn service at Tyabb.

The service, conducted by the Hastings RSL in a crisp foggy atmosphere, saw Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie lay a wreath on behalf of the shire.

Traffi c management organised by the shire kept the truck noise to a minimum but, unfortunately, the sound system was not adequate to cater for the unanticipated large crowd.

Many Tyabb senior and junior football and netball club members joined pupils from all the Tyabb schools and rep-resentatives of local service clubs to pay their respects.

Breakfast was prepared by the Tyabb 1st Scouts.Readings and poems from both Tyabb primary schools

as well as Padua and Flinders Christian College were well received and, in the words of MC “Boof” Dollisson: “It is so encouraging to see the amount of young people participating in ever increasing numbers each year.”

This year we were also joined by Pastor Rod Whitford from the Western Port Christian Family Church.

The dawn service restarted about 12 years ago with just a handful of attendees and today we see around 700. That says a lot about the commitment and pride of the “Tyab-bians”.

Two highlights were a poem The Trench written and read by a pupil from Tyabb Railway Primary school and a note to the “diggers” from “The Kids of Dalton Drive” left with a wreath.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Farewell function for our soldiersFarewell function for our soldiersCompiled by Melissa Walsh

A VERY successful function took place at Mornington Junction on Sat-urday evening last, when Privates Walter Scott, John Pariss, John Hol-ley and Andrew Fulton were ten-dered a farewell social, on the eve of their departure for the front. Mr Geo. Griffeth, president of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, occu-pied the chair, and a fi rst-class pro-gramme was rendered by the Lang-warrin Camp Concert Party, under the direction of Sergeant Gigney, the following being the items given :—Overture, Patriotic Airs, Sergeant Moir; song, “On the banks of the old canal,” Private F. Dale; recitation, Sgt Richardson; The Singing Comedian, Pte Val Reeves; A few moments at the piano, Sgt Hammond: The Actor Vo-calist, Band-sergeant-Major Grocott Ragtime Seyncopation, Pte W.Elder; song, Pte Sinclair; The Bird Man, Pte Hogan ; The Silvery Tenor, Pte Smith; Ventriloquism, Carbine Short Rifl e.

***A LARGE yarding of cattle and sheep is advertised for Messrs A. Scott and Co’s monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, besides some spe-cial lines on account of Messrs Firth and Doherty.

***A CAPITAL programme has been arranged for the patriotic concert to be given by Misses Anderson and Miller in the Frankston Mechanics’

Hall this evening, and a pleasant evening’s amusement is assured.

***THE picture show held in the Me-chanics’ Hall on Easter MondayNight, in aid of St Francis Xavier’s R. C. Church funds was well at-tended by an appreciative audience, who showed their appreciation of the pictures shown by frequent applause.

***A PUBLIC meeting will be held inthe Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening next to discuss the matter of having a roll of honor erected in some prominent place in honor of those who have enlisted in defence of the Empire.

***SOME local sports are creditedwith winning large amounts at theEaster race meetings. Mr Col. McK-enzie won a good race at Cranbourne with his own horse which was well backed locally, whilst another local sport is reported to have netted a large amount over the Epsom and Williamstown meetings.

***A CHAR-A-BANC, while on its way to Mornington on Tuesday, with alarge party of returned woundedsoldiers on board, broke down inFrankston. Good Samaritans, inthe shape of Mr W. Catanach (chair-man of the State Waters Commis-sion) and Mrs Catanach, turned up and entertained the party at dinner, at the Pier Hotel, which generous act was much appreciated by the belated

ones.***

ANOTHER old and respected resident of this district has passed over the border, in the person of Mrs Cottier, who died on Monday evening last at her residence, at the ripe age of 81 years. The deceased lived here for the last 27 years in the enjoyment of average health up to about last Xmas, when she had a nasty fall from which she never seemed to fully recover. The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, the Rev E. Tonkin offi ciating at the grave. A grown up family of three daughters and fi ve sons are left to mourn their loss, her husband having pre-deceased her many years. Mr H. Gamble conducted the funeral arrangements.

***THREE of our local sports appearto have had a rather exciting time on Easter Monday. It appears that they drove out for the purpose of having some rabbit shooting, but owing to the scarcity of game, they got tired travelling about, and lay down for a spell. One of them fell asleep, and by some unexplained means the grass around him caught fi re, and he was with diffi culty extricated from his exceedingly warm position by his companions. After this they deter-mined to return home, and on the way a rabbit was sighted,and fi red at, but the horse happened to be not bro-

ken in to stand under fi re and com-menced kicking up, with the result that one of them was thrown out. After getting the horse quieted, they proceeded on their way, and arrived home without further mishap, but minus any game, and fully con-vinced that rabbit shooting is not the game it is cracked up to be.

***THE Good Friday and Easter ser-vices at St Paul’s Church, Frankston, in spite of bad weather on the Friday, were in many ways more successful than ever before. The midday service on Easter Day was unique in more ways than one. At that servicethe number of communicants and the amount of the collection were in both cases larger than at any previ-ous service in the history of that church. Very noticeable also was the pro-found reverence on the part of the congregation. Only once previously was an Easter evening service as large as that of last Sunday. The Ves-try of St Paul’s have had many fi nan-cial sets back since the war started, and for some months past have had a big struggle to keep things going andpay all accounts up to date. Their anxieties have now been removed for the time being, as the special Easter offerings were more than double those of last year, and £10 more than ever before, the largest previous being four years ago. This is very encouraging to all concerned.

On Anzac Day, at St Paul’s Church, services were held in memory of the landing at Gallipoli. Thanksgivings for the bravery of the men, and inter-cessions for the peace of the fallen and the victory the arms of Great Britain were offered, and the Vicar gave a short address.

***ANZAC Day was celebrated at the Rosebud State School on 20th April in the presence of a number of par-ents and friends. The programme, ar-ranged by the Education Department was carried out under the supervision of the teacher, Mr Perrin, and the as-semblage was addressed by Mr E.J. Alexander, J. P. and by a returned Anzac , Sergt Major Cotterill, who described in an interesting manner the historic landing in which he took part, receiving three hearty cheers atthe conclusion of his speech. An honor roll of over 20 names of former scholars now at the front or enlisted showed that there was no lack of patriotism in Rosebud. The ceremony concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. The scholars were much disappointed at the non-arrival of their Anzac medals, and it would appear that better arrange-ments could have been made for an equitable allotment of the number struck.

By Stuart McCulloughDEVO were right: it really is a beauti-ful world we live in. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that it’s a beautiful place to be. We should probably whip it real good, but that’s another story. Granted, this big old Earth has its fair share of problems and you don’t have to look too far to fi nd pain, misery and misfortune. But then there’s the good stuff: the unexpected things that serve to bind humanity in general and the planet more broadly together. One such event happened just recently. I refer, of course, to RSS Boaty Mc-Boatface.

After Albert Einstein invented the Theory of Relativity, the next law of physics he developed was ‘Never Work with Kids or Animals’. This scientifi c fact has been proved mil-lions of times since, but with technol-ogy being what it is, these rules are in serious need of a re-draft. ‘Never Ask the Public to Name Anything’ ought to be a fundamental law of the Universe, unless of course, you’re happy to ac-cept the consequences.

When the National Environment Research Council had a new four hun-dred million dollar boat, they asked the public for name suggestions. The polar research vessel will carry scien-tists to the Arctic to answer important scientifi c questions such as: ‘how’s climate change going?’ and ‘what’s Santa Claus really like?’ There were many worthwhile name suggestions including ‘the David Attenborough’ and ‘the Endeavour’. Some smart alec even suggested the ‘Ice Ice Baby’. But, by far and away, the most popular suggestion was ‘RSS Boaty McBoat-

face’. As names go, Boaty McBoat-face is immensely stupid. And that’s what’s so wonderful about it.

You might say it was the fi rst time I was truly responsible for anything. In year ten, I volunteered to be part of the editing team for the end of year school magazine. It was an awesome responsibility. A select few got to de-cide which of our peers had produced work worthy of publication. It was (and probably still is) a big deal. This magazine went not only to the stu-dents but their parents. Cleverly, class photos were buried within the pages, increasing the likelihood that adults would give the thing something more

than a cursory glance.It was my fi rst taste of real power.

Frankly, power tasted pretty good. The thing about a school magazine is that it’s not always easy to fi nd top-notch creative works to include. Luckily, I had access to a near-limitless supply of jaw-droppingly awesome poetry; namely my own. It was inevitable that many of my works should fi nd their way into the fi nished product. Had it been left only to me, the thing would have been chock-full of my teenage creative outpourings and my picture on the cover (probably). Luckily, oth-er people were involved and provided something of a steadying infl uence.

One of these was Mark. We’d been friends for years and he was (and still is) a really creative guy. Editing is a task performed in the dead of night and I’ll admit that I got a little tired. And a little silly. A plan was duly hatched – Mark and I would combine our wit and wisdom to create the stupid-est poem we possibly could and then sneak it in to the end of year school magazine. After all, we were the edit-ing team. Who was going to stop us? To write a spectacularly stupid poem, you should fi rst come up with a title that has absolutely nothing whatsoev-er to do with the contents of the poem itself. We chose ‘Little Bunny Rabbit’.

Having lured readers by creating false sense of comfort, we then offered up the following poetic magic:

Love is like a winter’s day,Sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn’tLove is like a winter’s fi re,Its fl ames are burning with desire,It also burns the wood we put on it.

It’s popular these days to hold

events called ‘poetry slams’. As far as Mark and I were concerned, this was a poetry slam-dunk. That it took two people to author this poetic tour-de-force probably caused considerable puzzlement if not concern. Convinced it was completely hilarious, we en-sured our poem appeared in a promi-nent place within the magazine. We held our breath as the fi nished product was duly distributed to every family at the school. To my surprise, no one said a thing. Our masterpiece went by, failing to provoke anything by way of a reaction. Perhaps it was not nearly silly enough. Or maybe they saw it for what it was: a harmless bit of fun.

The people have spoken. There’s more than enough that’s serious in this world. There should always be a little room for stupid. Soon, Her Majesty’s Royal Research Ship, Boaty McBoat-face, will be sailing the icy seas of the Arctic, seeking to unravel the myster-ies of the Universe. God’s speed to all that sail in her. To celebrate I might write a poem. A poem that is as silly and stupid as possible.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt SEAFORD won its second game on the trot in MPNFL Peninsula Division, holding on to beat Bonbeach.

The Tigers led by 28 points at the last change after leading by just two points at the long interval, however, the Sharks stormed home in the last to fall short by 11 points, 13.13 (91) to 11.14 (80).

Seaford coach Ben Murphy told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he was confi dent that his young charges would continue to improve throughout the season.

“The guys clearly lacked leadership when I arrived and as far as I was con-cerned, this was the fi rst thing that I needed to work on.

“Leadership, I believe, comes from empowerment and that’s the way I’ve treated the group – they need to take control and I will provide all the sup-port I can,” Murphy said.

“It was also important to recruit play-ers who were leaders, the likes of Dean Williamson and Kyle Matthews have been important in the teams’ develop-ment, while the likes of Josh Stokes, Aaron Walton and Kain Taylor are sen-ior players and provide strong leader-ship.

“The group also needed to under-stand, accept and execute a brand–new game plan, which is always going to take some time.

“I’m really confi dent that we have a committed group of players throughout the club. We’ll experience some highs and low because that’s footy but I’m excited about this season and the future.

“My previous role was not dissimilar to the Seaford role. The club has expe-rienced great success in the past, fallen behind a little, has great kids and a good junior club and eventually we worked our way to win premierships again.

“That’s the plan here at Seaford,” Murphy said.

Dean Williamson and Kieran Shaw were outstanding for the Tigers while 11 individual players hit the scoreboard.

Luke Damon booted three goals for the Sharks in his fi rst senior game for the club while Jackson Bennett and Dy-lan Jones shone.

The Sharks have a pretty good list and would be concerned to be winless after three rounds.

Chelsea is inside the top fi ve after winning its second game on the trot also, this time against Langwarrin.

The Gulls set up the win in the sec-ond quarter with a powerful seven goal to one term, opening up a commanding 43–point lead.

Despite not being at full strength, the Seagulls still managed to boot 7.4 to 7.2 in the second half to run out 17.10 (112) to 10.7 (67) winners.

Matty Baxter booted four and Curtis Bywater three goals for the winners while Todd Gardniner and Grant Trew continued their great starts to the sea-son.

Kieran Albanese booted four for the Kangas while leaders Shane Paterson and Gerard Brown collected the top votes.

On Sunday, Pines got its season back on track, beating Edithvale–Aspend-ale, while Frankston YCW fl exed its muscles, beating Karingal by more than 100 points in the Frankston RSL Cup.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt THE ANZAC Round of football in Nepean League was soured on Saturday when Tyabb midfi elder Adrian Clay was airlifted to hos-pital.

At the 30-second mark of the third quarter in the match be-tween the Yabbies and Sorrento, Clay had his head over the footy and was about to pick it up when a teammate came hard off the square and accidentally hit him in the head.

Clay laid motionless on the ground as trainers attended to him.

The game was called off a short time later as it was obvious that further medical attention was re-quired to assist the midfi elder.

Just before the air ambulance ar-rived to take Clay to hospital, he started to regain feeling in his legs.

The news the following morn-ing (Sunday) was even better. The club confi rmed that initial scans had appeared positive, although he would require further testing.

Sorrento coach Nick Jewell said it was a worrying time for every-one at the ground.

“It was certainly a strange feel-ing but everyone was just con-cerned about Adrian and hoping that he was OK,” Jewell said.

Before the game was called off, Sorrento was in total control.

The Yabbies did well to hold the

Sharks in the opening quarter (3.5 to 0.1) and early in the second, however, the fl oodgates opened at the seven minute mark of the sec-ond quarter.

The Sharks booted seven goals in 23 minutes with Luke Tapscott adding two more to his two fi rst quarter goals and Nick Corp domi-nating also with a couple of goals.

Tyrren Head was also enjoying his best game of the season.

The Yabbies didn’t kick a goal in the fi rst half, such was the strong defensive pressure of the Sharks.

Josh Connell and the in form Luke Rigg were getting their hands on the footy and Scott Tor-py was continuing his good start to the season also.

When the game was called off though, everyone quickly forgot about the fi rst hour of the game.

Down the road at Pier St Oval in Dromana, the home side won its second game of the season, knock-ing over Rye by eight points in a thriller.

Four goals to Beau McMurray in the third quarter got the Tigers’ tails up again after they trailed by 21 points at half time. The home side booted six goals to two points in the third to lead by 18 at the last change.

To that point in the game, 15 of the 16 goals had all come from the Mt Martha end of Pier St oval. Rye was kicking with the advantage in the last.

The Demons got within two points of the Tigers with just two minutes remaining, however, a mark and conversion to Droma-na’s Beau Cosson with 55 seconds on the clock sealed victory.

Billy and Jackson Quigley were outstanding for the Tigers while Mitch Gill-Furness was unques-tionably their best four quarter contributor.

Ryan Mullet was clearly the best player on the ground for the De-mons with 41 possessions while Kris Bardon wasn’t too far behind with 38 touches.

The challenge for the Tigers now is to fi nd consistency in the kids – they have to shorten the gap between their best and their worst. It will come with experience, how-ever, wins against Sorrento and Rye should give them enormous confi dence that their best is good enough.

On Sunday, Rosebud continued its up and down season, infl icting Red Hill’s fi rst loss of the season.

The Buds opened well, got their noses in front and held their oppo-nents at bay for the duration of the match.

In the other Sunday match, Dev-on Meadows ended the season of Crib Point.

The Meadows held off an early onslaught from the home side be-fore working their way into the contest, taking control and win-ning comfortably.

CRIB POINT FNCBy Jared NewtonA BRAND new shiny scoreboard for Crib but it projected the same result as the seniors now 0-3 to open their season with a 50 point loss to Devon Meadows.

The seniors started well and ran with Devon for a solid half before being overrun after half time.

Avenues to goal are the biggest issue for the seniors who are struggling to apply enough score-board pressure to get on top of teams.

Brad Arnold was enormous in the middle and snagged three, and Kyle Arnott was also brilliant in his fi rst game back into the seniors.

All in all it has been a fl at start for the seniors who really need a spark next week to ignite their season.

The reserves were another case of not quite good enough in a good but not great performance against Devon reserves.

In a low scoring game where the lead see-sawed throughout it, was the Panthers who found them-selves in front at the fi nal siren with a 10 point win.

Crib had their chances but a slow start to the fi nal term ultimately cost the Pies as they never quite recovered from the successive goals by Devon which put the game out of reach.

James Forecast was best afi eld across half back for the Pies and Mitch Kleinig kicked all the goals with 4. If he manages to keep the skunk-like be-haviour hidden and doing the team things like he has the last fortnight, he could very well fi nd him-self in the seniors if they’re looking for a guy who can kick goals.

1-2 is underachieving at the moment but there are enough positives there to suggest it can be turned around.

The unders have well and truly put their fi rst round disappointment behind them with their sec-ond successive win over Devon Meadows in a dominant display.

After an early arm wrestle, Barn’s charges took control of the game to run out winners by 33 points.

Joel Wisken and Harri Dekleuver kicked three apiece with Harri being close to BOG. The senior selectors must also be keeping a close eye on the progress of Joey Smith too.

HASTINGS FNCTHE Hastings FNC played Frankston Bombers FNC in their third Anzac Day clash at Barclay Oval in what can be best described as a bruising encounter between two of the oldest Clubs in the MPNFL.

On a fi ne day both clubs certainly came to play. The opening term was fabulous with both sides going toe- to-toe.

In the end the Hastings FNC proved too good with an outstanding second half. They put their stamp on the con-test and came out 18 point winners.

Next week we travel to Devon Meadows in what will be another tough contest for all sides.

On behalf of the club we would like to sincerely thank the Hastings RSL, and in particular Boof Dollinson, for all their efforts on the day.

Also a huge thank you to The Diva Talent School, Dawn Shore and the wonderful Bridgett Kennedy for her singing of the national anthem. A big thank you to Judy Pay from the Old Aeroplane Company in Tyabb.

This weekend we head to Devon Meadows. Games start from 10am.

#getonboardthebluestrain

Senior ReportAnzac Day was a great day for footy . The sun was shining and it was great to see so many supporters at the ground.

As a senior group we were chal-lenged and the Bombers really brought great pressure to the contest.

We worked hard and did a great job to be level at half time.

To the boy’s credit they came out after half time and played really well in the third quarter. Unfortunately we were unable to get the rewards as we kicked two goals 10 for the quarter .

This left the game open for the Bombers.

They hit the lead ten minutes into the last quarter and again we had a fi ght on our hands.

It was great to get the four points and great to see Wade playing his fi rst game and Jake Hewitt stepping up.

Well done to Matt Clifford who won the Anzac medal.

Reserves Report After two very competitive weeks with no result we fi nally found a way to win.

It was a very hot contest early with Frankston taking their chances in front of goal.

Although we were in the contest Frankston were always that step ahead with us not using the ball to the best of our abilities.

The second half we started to win the ball and use it much better and we started to claw our way back into the game.

Although they kicked the fi rst goal

of the last the boys managed to stay strong in the contest and will there way over the line.

Every player had their chance to shine in the last quarter and every player took his chance.

A very even spread of contributors led to a very pleasing win. Now onto the premiers.

Best: Ben Schroen, Jay Austerberry and Nathan Goodacre.

Under 19’s ReportANZAC Day is a massive privilege for us to be a part of.

The boys were fi red up for a great contest and that’s what we got from Frankston.

The fi rst quarter saw no goals scored with both defences working hard.

Great work from Lachie Gibbs and Fraser Rendall in his fi rst game for the club.

Jakecob Withers worked tirelessly chasing and hassling as all good backs should.

In the second Peter Megee, Shaun Hewitt and Luke McVeigh stood up and continued winning the hard ball.

A couple of goals to Frankston made our job harder but the boys continued to work hard; doing the one percenters well, but turning the ball over too eas-ily and consistently.

The boys continued to pressure the opposition right to the end but Frankston eventually ran out winners.

Great effort boys. Continue working hard and the rewards will come.

Netball ReportIt was a very warm Monday for our annual Anzac clash against the Frankston Bombshells, the sun mak-ing a fool of the ‘winter sport’ title.

Our C grade girls faced a very com-petitive and skilled side that restricted them to a single goal in the fi rst quar-ter.

However we saw an Anzac inspired effort from Siobhan. She had a ‘never give up’ attitude despite carrying an injury, but continued to fi ght it out un-til the last whistle.

Overall we were noticeably out skilled, but each girl was doing their best and fought out a tough match.

The girls wish to acknowledge the solid game the C grade Bombshells played.

On the other court we saw a great match between the B grade sides.

Frankston’s fi rst centre pass was quickly turned over, sparking hope and spirit among the Blues B Grade.

They were playing a half fl u-fi lled side and were also short a couple of girls due to birthday celebrations and others due to illness.

Focus points of training could be noticed in our game on the weekend, which makes from exciting progress for our B Grade girls.

A combination of discipline in

bringing the ball down the court and match fi tness, especially visible in the last quarter, were what let us down overall.

The girls are excited, though, to continue closing the scoring gap each week.

A special mention to Amy Gooda-cre for her high intensity, unforgiving work in the defence.

Lastly, a quick plug for our Mid Year Gala Ball.

Mornington wins Anzac clash, Heart on topMornington wins Anzac clash, Heart on topSOCCERBy Craig MacKenzieMORNINGTON continued its recent success against Langwarrin with a 2-1 win in their Anzac clash at Dallas Brooks Park on Sunday.

Mornington struck in the 5th minute when livewire striker Wayne Gordon stole in behind the Langy defence and toe-poked the ball past teenage goalkeeper James Foster who was deputising for the injured Robbie Acs.

The simmering feud between these fi erce local rivals burst into open confl ict with a melee in the 33rd minute sparked by a tackle involving Mornington midfi elder Paul McE-voy and Langy defender Alex Van Heerwarden.

McEvoy was shown a straight red card and referee Hary Milas later confi rmed that the send-off was for serious foul play in the form of a two-footed tackle.

Langwarrin midfi elder Sam Scott also was sent off after retaliating dur-ing the melee and receiving a second yellow card.

In the 65th minute Langy striker Caleb Nicholes was brought down inside the box and converted the resulting penalty to make it 1-1.

Gordon was thwarted by a superb save by Foster in the 75th minute but the teenager was helpless when Andy McIntyre scored an own goal in the 86th minute while attempting to clear.

Straight from the restart Morning-ton keeper Kris McEvoy was forced into a fi ne save by Langy midfi elder Boris Ovcin and two minutes later a Nicholes free-kick was destined for the top corner until McEvoy at full stretch tipped it wide.

Frankston Pines lost its State 1 South-East home clash with War-ragul United 4-1 on Saturday.

Pines took the lead in the 12th min-ute when Kyle Crawford’s cross from the right found Nick Lekakis whose shot was parried by Warragul keeper Jake Richardson and tapped in by CJ Hodgson.

Four minutes later scorers were level when Pines keeper James Laminski charged off his line but only succeeded in hammering the ball into Warragul striker Liam Johnston who ran onto the ricochet and knocked it into the open goal.

Just before half-time Lekakis was pressured off the ball which was slot-ted in between Pines’ central defend-ers for Sam O’Dea to run onto and slip past Laminski to make it 2-1.

Johnson got his second from the penalty spot in the 75th minute and O’Dea’s double came in the 91st

minute in an incident that saw Lamin-ski taken off with a head injury that required stitches.

There were three goals in the fi nal four minutes of Saturday’s top-of-the-table State 2 South-East clash between home team Peninsula Strik-ers and Old Scotch which ended in a 3-3 draw.

Strikers senior coach Craig Lewis and assistant Billy Buchanan refused to be interviewed after this seesaw-ing goal fest in which Strikers blew a two-goal lead and threw away the points in the fi nal minutes.

Their anger was palpable and it was directed at their players for poor

defending and lack of concentration.Strikers’ scorers were Ali Osmani

(38th minute), Paul Presti (55th) and Trevor Johnson (91st).

Old Scotch’s scorers were John Beamish (penalty 60th), Peter Mas-sarany (89th) and Adem Awal (93rd).

The State 2 South-East clash between Beaumaris and visitor Sea-ford United turned into a rout with the home team winning 6-0.

The result leaves Seaford with just one goal to its name this season and 11 against.

Skye United’s promotion push in State 4 South gathered pace with Saturday’s 3-0 home win over Har-

risfi eld Hurricanes.Opposing keepers Jonathan Crook

(Skye) and Paul Seeley stole the show in the fi rst half.

Crook made two fi ne refl ex saves in the opening 30 minutes and Seeley matched him in the 40th minute denying Matthew Wilson from close range.

But a minute before the break Seeley charged off his line to try and punch clear and didn’t get there in time to stop Wilson heading into the unguarded goal.

Early in the second half Skye grabbed a two-goal cushion.

Wilson’s long throw was headed

on to the far post by Marcus Collier where Dogan Dagli had the simple task of heading in from point blank range.

The visitors would have clawed their way back into the contest if not for the agility of Crook who tipped over a stinging volley from Nicholas Corsini in the 87th minute.

Two minutes later Wilson’s fi rm header struck the underside of the bar and was cleared but a superb solo run by substitute Daniel Attard in the 92nd minute was rewarded when he squared the ball to fellow sub Chris-topher Busuttil for a tap-in.

Rosebud Heart infl icted a fi rst defeat of the league season on Old Mentonians on Saturday.

The 3-0 away win took Scott Morrison’s men to the top of State 5 South and threw the gauntlet down to neighbouring Baxter in second place.

Baxter had a bye after Parkmore dropped out of the competition and a rescheduling of fi xtures took place.

Heart opened its account against Old Mentonians in spectacular style courtesy of a 25-metre screamer from the lethal left foot of Blake Hicks.

Goalscoring guru Dave Greening was brought down inside the area in the 42nd minute and converted the resultant penalty.

Greening headed against the bar shortly after then new signing Craig White was brought down for what looked like a second penalty before the interval but Heart’s appeals fell on deaf ears.

Englishman White could prove to be a clutch signing. The 24-year-old attacking midfi elder joined Heart last week from Essendon United and had a fi ne match.

James Liddle’s volley from the edge of the area in the 62nd minute was the fi nal nail in Old Mentonians’ coffi n but there were two send-offs in the second stanza, both straight reds – Heart’s Daniel Hodge in the 65th minute and Old Mentonians’ Dylan Taylor in the 89th minute.
