Go slow in memory of JimmyGo slow in memory of JimmyBy Cameron McCulloughTHE letter to the editor in Western Port News (29/5/13) caught the eye of Eve Dellar straight away. The road mentioned is painfully familiar and the topic of the letter even more so.
“Today I received a speeding ticket for doing 64km/h in a 60 zone,” the letter began.
“The camera that detected me was set up in Stony Point Rd, Crib Point, at 5am on a Monday morning. As any-one who has travelled along the sec-
tion of Stony Point Rd near Symonds St knows, the road is more than twice the width of many roads, it is straight, fl at and I have never seen an accident there in all the times I have driven along it. It is obvious the camera was there at that time of the morning to raise revenue.”
Mrs Dellar’s heart sank as she read the words, written by a resident of Crib Point who was upset at receiving a $176 fi ne.
“My fi rst reaction was anger, then I got upset,” Mrs Dellar said.
Her mind went back to 15 December 1983 when her four-year-old son James Anthony Dellar (Jimmy) was hit by a car and killed on Stony Point Rd.
The events of that evening came fl ooding back.
“It was after dinner. Jimmy asked if he could go outside and play some more and I told him he could, but not to go near the road,” she recalled.
“There is no way of knowing why he tried to cross the road, but he had a little friend who lived on the other side and he went to cross. He looked
one way and made sure it was clear but then stepped into the path of a car coming from the other direction.”
What happened next is described by Mrs Dellar as the longest half-hour of her life.
“The bystanders who came to Jim-my’s aid kept me away from him. They put a blanket on him, but wouldn’t let me be with him. I guess they thought it was for the best.
“When the paramedic got there he ordered me inside. They began working on Jimmy. The next thing, I
heard a terrible scream from the lady who had been driving the car and an-other scream from my mother-in-law. ‘There is no God!’ was the next thing to come from my mother-in-law’s mouth. I grabbed her and said ‘Please don’t scream like that. There is a God and Jimmy is with him now’, trying to comprehend the horror of what was happening.”
Mrs Dellar is visibly upset when recounting the death of her only son nearly 30 years ago.

By Keith PlattSELLING recycled water from Mel-bourne Water’s Eastern Treatment Plant near Carrum could raise at least $240 million a year.
Clean Ocean Foundation president Peter Smith says South East Water is failing to adequately market the Class A quality water being poured daily into the sea at Gunnamatta on the Mornington Peninsula.
Mr Smith for years led the battle that last year fi nally saw Melbourne Water lift the quality of water being discharged from the outfall.
But with that battle won, Mr Smith says Clean Ocean is now concerned at the environmental effects of billions of litres of fresh water going into the sea and the loss of potential revenue.
“Under the current structure, South East Water is the retailer. So it is their
‘Revenue’ lost to the sea – Clean Ocean‘Revenue’ lost to the sea – Clean Ocean
responsibility to fi nd customers,” Mr Smith said.
“South East Water has had its head in the sand and is looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Mr Smith said 400 megalitres of Class A water pumped daily through the Gunnamatta outfall could reap $247.7 million a year.
He said the state government needs to pay for new pipes to carry the treat-ed water to where it can be used: “To Gippsland, Werribee, the Yarra River or wherever.”
“The Mornington Peninsula does not have the demand and probably never will, and from my understanding there are currently minimal re-use programs underway.”
Mr Smith said Melbourne Water started pumping Class A water to Gun-namatta on Christmas Day but had purposely avoided publicity because “the upgrade came about by commu-nity pressure and it was not an inno-vation or decision made by the water authorities but by essential services, in
effect the Health Department”.He thinks the government will only
react as a result of public embarrass-ment over potential lost revenue and the waste of a valuable resource.
“We don’t believe that South East Water has the determination or will to propose options to the state govern-ment without a concerted community push. Similar to the Class A upgrade program,” Mr Smith said.
“Going to the beach became a seri-ous community health problem. This is of course why we are not hearing about the upgrade in the way of back-slapping press releases.
“What is forgotten is the polluting of the marine environment by fresh water over many kilometres of our coastline.
“This pollution has not changed since the Class A water upgrade.
“The bull kelp forests continue to
be decimated, resident fi sh probably have two heads and three eyes, and the small shellfi sh and micro-organisms will continue to mutate and die.”
On its website, South East Water states that Class A recycled water is “a sustainable water supply that we are delivering to a growing number of new homes in Melbourne’s southeast”.
Customers are listed as including Sandhurst estate near Skye and parts of Lyndhurst, Cranbourne, Pakenham and Offi cer.
It states new infrastructure will “ex-pand the recycled water network even further. In fact, it’s predicted that by 2030 we’ll have approximately 43,000 properties connected to recycled water in our service region”.
South East Water and Melbourne Water did not respond to calls or emails.

By Mike HastMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has added another year of council deci-sions to its new website.
The addition of decisions made in 2009 comes after some councillors including Bev Colomb as well as resi-dents complained they were not able to look up the progress of long-running issues such as important planning de-cisions.
Long-time controversial issues still active that started well before 2009 in-clude Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings, the Southern Peninsula
Aquatic Centre in Rosebud, and Gate-way Park in Mornington.
A recent example was the shire’s decision not to extend the time for the building of a holiday resort at McLears Hill in Dromana.
The issue dates back to 2006 and was before the council again earlier this month.
Another example is the proposal to put a rubbish tip in the old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. Council decisions about the quarry date back to the late 1990s.
The old website had decisions from 1997 when councillors were fi rst elect-
ed to the new amalgamated council.The shire’s communications man-
ager Todd Trimble said “at this stage we will be keeping a rolling, four-year archive of minutes”.
“We have investigated the costs involved in expanding the archive against the number of ‘hits’ for these pages in previous years,” he said.
“There was an extremely low num-ber of hits for minutes [council meet-ing decisions] beyond four years, and the cost involved in expanding the ar-chive could not be justifi ed at this point in time.
“We will continue to look for cost-ef-
fective solutions to expand the archive in the future.”
Residents and groups including Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association also com-plained about the new format of audio recordings.
The old website allowed residents to download audio recordings of council meetings. Meetings have been record-ed since March last year.
When recordings were put on the new website recently, they could not be downloaded and played at a later time.
The shire has changed the system and audio fi les will again be easier to
download. It is expected the new sys-tem for sound fi les will start this week.
The website contains new features such as the peninsula’s weather for the day, forecasts for the week ahead and a “what’s near me” search function that uses Google maps to show services in or near the shire’s 42 towns.
It was planned to add “how-to” vid-eos such as how to lodge a planning permit.
The home page contains links to main sections such as our shire, build-ing and planning, environment and waste, what’s on, services, and leisure and tourism.

OLD school friends Amanda Web-ster and Kirsty McWilliam, both aged 26, will brave the cold and dash down Southbank wearing nothing but sunfl owers, bathers and a smile for the Leukaemia Foun-dation’s fi rst-ever Sunfl ower Club Speedo Dash on 30 June.
Ms Webster of Bittern said the pair, former Sunshine Coast resi-dents, reconnected after both mov-ing to Melbourne and wanted to do something for the foundation.
“Leukaemia has touched people we know and when we heard about the dash, it took just a few a seconds to decide it was the kind of crazy activity we would love – and all for a good cause,” Ms Webster said.
“Kirsty, who lives in Maidstone, shaved her hair off for the World’s Greatest Shave in March.”
For the dash they will be sporting sunfl owers created by body painter Gina Nomachi.
Both women have taken part in
charity fun runs. “It was just so different to anything anyone has ever done for a charity run. People getting down to their speedos and wearing sunfl owers really draws people’s eyes to the Leukaemia Foundation,” Ms Webster said.
Proceeds from the dash will help the foundation fund free services including education, transport to and from hospital, emotional sup-port and accommodation for re-gional people coming to a city for treatment.
The pair has organised $4000 worth of goods being auctioned on a Facebook page called “The Speedo Dash of Awesomeness”.
The auction ends on Friday. Items donated by peninsula businesses in-clude day spa, hairdressing and res-taurant vouchers; photography ses-sions; jewellery; items for children including clothing; stand-up paddle board and fi tness sessions; and kay-aking with dolphins at Sorrento.
“We have received an amazing response, which we did not expect,” Ms Webster said.
Jeanette Lyons-McKinnon of the foundation said every 46 minutes someone in Australia is diagnosed with blood cancer or a related blood disorder.
The foundation is Australia’s peak body for blood cancer. It re-ceives no ongoing government funding and relies on community support to fund its Vision to Cure and Mission to Care.
The Melbourne Sunfl ower Club Speedo Dash event is on Sunday 30 June at Queens Bridge Rd, South-bank.

MT Martha Community Learning Centre and Chisholm Institute are among 54 Learn Local organisa-tions in Victoria to share $2.63 mil-lion in grants for adult education.
The two community education providers will receive $50,000 to help expand adult learning opportu-nities on the peninsula.
The funding windfall comes the
state government’s Adult, Commu-nity and Further Education Board Capacity and Innovation Fund.
The grants aim to help Learn Local organisations expand ser-vices, improve effi ciency, offer new courses and increase the participa-tion and attainment of learners.
Mornington MP David Morris said the money would further de-
velop programs and expand oppor-tunities for peninsula adult learners.
“The grants have been designed to help Learn Local organisations develop new programs to boost par-ticipation and learning,” he said.
“The fund will encourage innova-tion within adult education and sup-port a sector that already does vital work in supporting adult learners.”

BEST PRICES ALL YEAR ROUND
By Mike HastTHE eight-year, $4 million Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal project ends this week, leaving a big gap in the growth of community development in the town.
The project was one of 19 in Victoria started by the Labor government to re-vive disadvantaged communities with concentrations of public housing.
Started in 2006, the Hastings project aimed to bring together the resources and ideas of residents, governments, businesses and community groups.
Similar projects in the region were started in Rosebud West and Frankston North.
The state Department of Human Ser-vices, which coordinated the project,
will hand the project to the new Hast-ings Community Alliance after the fi nal meeting of the renewal steering committee next Wednesday.
State government money will dry up and DHS offi cers based at the Hub will pack up and leave.
A gathering to mark the end as well as the start of the alliance will be held from 3pm on Friday 28 June at Hast-ings Community Hub. All residents can attend with highlights including a sausage sizzle, cup cake decorating, jumping castle, face painting, circus tricks and young musicians.
The Hub, the former sports and lei-sure centre in Frankston-Flinders Rd built in 1978, was renovated at a cost of $3 million and opened last May.
Money for the renovation included $2.1 million from the federal govern-ment, $729,000 from the state govern-ment, and about $60,000 from Morn-ington Peninsula Shire for landscaping as well as a lease on the Hub for the project and management of the renova-tion.
The renewal project operated from the Hub from the beginning, including during renovations.
Renewal committee chairman Brian Stahl sounded a positive note when he spoke to The News about the project’s end.
“I’m confi dent the foundations are there for a combined community effort in the future,” he said.
“We’ve proved it can work. Now we
need support from all levels of govern-ment.
“The project gave confi dence to Hastings people who might not have become involved in the community.
“Some people who would never have through of attending community meetings ended up chairing meetings.”
He said the project had laid the foun-dations for a stronger community and up to 30 people had attended commit-tee meetings.
Mr Stahl, a shire councillor until his retirement in 2008, had praise for former renewal project manager Pam Ford, who was sacked last June. At the time, Mr Stahl said Ms Ford’s removal after seven years was “disgraceful” and a “bureaucratic process gone wrong”.
Mr Stahl said Hastings Community Alliance would have support from the shire council including the use of of-fi ces at the Hub as well as the confer-ence room and the IT hub.
“Full credit to the ALP for starting Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal and bringing together a patchwork of pro-grams under one banner and in one place,” he said.
Mr Stahl said he doubted the Liberal-Nationals Coalition state government would have started renewal projects. “It’s not Liberal philosophy,” he said.
He also acknowledged renewal part-ners such as Good Shepherd, Brother-hood of St Laurence, Salvation Army and Family Life.
Renewal project ends after eight yearsRenewal project ends after eight years
Funding cut threat Funding cut threat avertedavertedTHE Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal project nearly ended two years early when the Labor government announced in May 2009 it was cutting the project from eight to six years.
The news came a week after the federal government promised $2.1 million to renovate the Hub.
The proposed cut generated anger and dismay in Hastings, and led to an intense lobbying campaign that saw former Labor state Premier Joan Kirner putting pressure on the government to reinstate the funding.
Housing and Local Government Minister Richard Wynne was besieged when he visited Hastings and the funding was reinstated in September 2009.
The Labor government’s neighbourhood renewal and community renewal projects were given impetus in 2007 when a study commissioned by Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services was released.
It identifi ed many areas of Australia suffering severe disadvantage.
Dropping off the Edge by Professor Tony Vinson found 187 Australian suburbs, towns and rural areas needed help.
Forty were in Victoria, including Rosebud West, Rosebud, Hastings and Frankston North.
Rosebud was left to its own devices, but the state government put money into Rosebud West and Frankston North through its community renewal program in 2007.
Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal had started the previous year.
Mike HastCentre of attraction: The neighbourhood renewal project is ending but Hastings has a community centre that has been widely praised. The $3 million Hub opened last May and soon after the shire held a council meeting there, billed as a “reconciliation meeting”, which featured a traditional Aboriginal “welcome to country” and smoking ceremony. Councillors took to the stage with their own interpretation of traditional dance. Picture: Yanni

Slow down in memory of JimmySlow down in memory of JimmyContinued from Page 1
“It never leaves me; I think about Jimmy every single day.”
On the night of Jimmy’s death, their house was full of people, many of whom the Dellars had never met, bringing food, comfort and tears for the little boy and his shattered family. Two Uniting Church ministers were there, as was the local Catholic priest. Even now, Mrs Dellar is grateful for the outpouring that night.
The death of Jimmy had a profound effect on the family as well as the car’s driver, who was only 22 at the time.
“It created so many layers of vic-tims. It totally shattered us,” Mrs Del-lar said.
Adding to the heartache for Mrs Dellar was the way authorities dealt with the accident and the lack of sup-port for the grief-stricken family.
“As Jimmy was only four, it was like he didn’t matter,” she said
“We never received a death certifi -cate, just a form in triplicate from the coroner. When I asked why I didn’t receive a death certifi cate, the doctor replied ‘due to his age’.”
No formal counselling was offered. The Dellars were referred to a local family who also had lost a child, but this was not enough support for the suffering family.
“We were just left to sort it out on our own,” she said.
“I have my Christian faith, which has always sustained me, but it was still terribly diffi cult.”
The letter in The News prompted Mrs Dellar to speak out about the dan-gers of speeding cars.
“I just want people to realise that it is not just about revenue raising and
to claim so is utterly outrageous,” she said.
“I lived on Stony Point Road for 27 years and the number of accidents that occurred near the front of our home were numerous and mostly very seri-ous.”
Mrs Dellar wants to tell her story to warn others of what happened to her, but also to honour her son.
“I always tell people: you can’t be too careful with your children. Look
after them closely and love them every single day. It is so important for chil-dren to grow up loved and appreci-ated.”
Mrs Dellar now lives a quiet life in Somers and her pain is eased a little by the joy of grandchildren. Her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren still live in the house on Stony Point Rd.
It has changed little in the interven-ing decades, except for the installa-tion of a large fence, a barrier between
playing children and speeding cars.Jimmy is buried at Crib Point Cem-
etery, surrounded by family. In a sad twist, his aunt died of cancer just a few months later, and his grandfather and grandmother died within three years.
Back on Stony Point Rd, standing on the spot where Jimmy died, Mrs Dellar smiles.
“I can feel him with me now; I can feel a warmth.”
A life cut short: Jimmy Dellar lies next to his grandfather at Crib Point cemetery.
THE coffee table book Wine Food and Farmgate will be integrated into a so-cial media and online format to help promote the peninsula’s premium food and wine offerings in a new marketing campaign unveiled last week.
The state government has provided $27,500 to fund the initiative and to fi nance research into the needs and expectations of holiday home owners in the region.
Both projects will be run by Morn-ington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board together with Tourism Victoria.
Peninsula MPs Neale Burgess, Da-vid Morris and Martin Dixon an-nounced the funding last week.
The project would utilise the lat-est marketing innovations to “help visitors to the region to discover the stunning diversity of our physical landscape, the quality of our food and wine, and the high standard of accom-modation”, they said.
“Consumer behaviour in accessing tourism information and promotion has changed dramatically and the in-creased use of digital media has meant there is a need to incorporate this ac-tivity into marketing campaigns.”
Tourism Minister Louise Asher said the latest technologies would help en-hance tourism.
“The scope of the innovation pro-grams across the state range from technological applications such as free wifi networks at key visitor locations to mobile applications and mobile op-timised websites,” she said.

For indigenes, cannon fire is tipping pointFor indigenes, cannon fire is tipping pointCHEZ Emu is aghast. That means both of us are, at the same time, aghast, which is exceedingly rare if not unique.
We stuck our heads in the window of Dromana Hall on the Saturday of the recent long weekend – every seat taken, many standing or sitting on the fl oor, a crowd outside – to listen to speakers at a packed protest meeting over the proposed rubbish tip in the old quarry at Dromana.
Emus like tips. Until that Saturday meet ing we supported this one. We and our mates sneak into tips at night and search for tasty tidbits. It is our equiva-lent of fi nger food. Tips are full of it.
But soon we were, as recounted above, aghast. In a serious state of aghastliness, as a matter of fact, at the thought of constant loud explosions at the tip to keep we “ferals” away.
This state was brought on when an anti-tipper mentioned that high-deci-bel “fright guns” would be employed to see off seagulls and other feathered ferals that fl ock to tips.
“Ferals indeed!” stuttered Mrs Emu as we staggered home, as if carrying a heavy burden. “We have been lumped in with seagulls. Seagulls! Flying rats! And cats and foxes. And ibis! How hu-miliating.”
She mused for a moment. “I am carrying a heavy burden of humi lia-tion,” she announced, as if having read Emu’s mind.
But the explosions are a serious threat to the sensitive hearing of emus. We hate sudden loud noises. So, too, do rare and endangered powerful owls. They also terrify koalas, kangaroos and cattle. And we know constant, ear-
splitting kabooms drive people into a frenzy.
When – or should that be “if” – a sound akin to First World War artillery fi re that sent men mad starts up on the escarpment and continues day after remorseless day, decade after de cade, how long before everyone with in ear-shot starts to sharpen their pitchforks?
Emu reckons “earshot” will extend all along the escarpment to suburban Arthurs Seat and Dromana, south to Red Hill, including its school, and north and east across the Kangerong Valley to Safety Beach, Martha Cove and Mt Martha itself.
One or two councillors and possibly a senior shire staff employee or two will fi nd themselves in the line of fi re.
Emu knows of a few in council who could be so directly affected they might have to declare a confl ict of in-terest and abstain from voting on the tip proposal.
Step forward councillors Gibb, Mar-tin and Pittock for starters! Cr Gibb is also chair of the waste management group.
As is her current habit, Mr Emu has gone online for succour and infor-mation.
She has found a relevant document on the shire website* that includes a magical piece of bureaucrat-speak relating to tips – the “Alternative Resource Recovery Treatment facil-
ity (ARRT)” –even though Melbourne doesn’t have one, whatever an ARRT is, with or without an “F” (for facility).
The shire document makes a big deal, for reasons not immediately ob-vious to either Emu, about confl ict of interest.
“Listen to this!” shouts Mrs Emu, reading aloud what her patient spouse is quite able to read silently. “It talks about council making decisions wear-ing different hats. Easy for any two-faced ones, I suppose.”
She reads, also loudly, to her audi-ence of one:
“Critically it is important that coun-cil blah blah note and acknowledge when a confl ict of interest exists blah blah blah. It doesn’t matter whether the con fl ict of interest is a direct or an indirect blah blah.
“It is also important that blah blah councillors blah blah blah make deci-sions with an open mind blah blah able to take a decision without prejudice or bias.”
“Now listen carefully to this next bit,” says the blushing bride, “some mistake, surely?”
She reads on slowly “... and that they have approached the decision having adopted a predetermined position in rela tion to the matter”.
She looks at Emu. “Isn’t adopting a predetermined position exactly what councillors are supposed not to do? Doesn’t that contradict the ‘with an open mind’ and ‘without prejudice or bias’ bits?”
Emu agrees a word is missing, pos-sibly “not” before “having adopt ed”. But he might be wrong; the ways of the
shire are mysterious indeed. The mystery is deepened by the
docu ment’s next headline, “How can council help members of the com-munity oppose the proposed landfi ll?” Then come 170 words that say ef fec-tively: “We can’t help. We have to be open-minded.”
How different from a year or so ago, thinks Emu, when the shire stridently opposed the Victorian Electoral Com-mission’s proposal for multi-member wards!
So much for the now-relied on need to be unbiased, the “... long established rules, and legal precedents, about how council, and individual councillors, must conduct themselves when deci-sions are to be taken”.
A year ago, the shire, from top to bottom, was urging the community by letter – “460 of them,” Mrs Emu in-terposes helpfully – and other means (the shire propaganda sheet Peninsula-Wide) to oppose the VEC.
All shire guns blazed in this blatant display of bias: submissions and ap-pearances before the VEC public hear-ing, material published on the shire website and in other places. It included some material so extreme it could have come from the HQ of that funny little chap who runs North Korea.
Then the shire wrote to the electoral commissioner accusing him of bias.
The shire’s “Ten Tests of Effective Local Government” is a classic of the spin genre. Now the shire is advising, without a blush:
“Council through its offi cers can provide information but it is not ap-propriate for council, councillors or
council offi cers to provide advice to any party involved, or interested, in a particular development application or approval process.”
Emu reads this to mean councillors are effectively being told they are not to have a “bias” about the rubbish tip – or any development or approval – if ratepayers ask their opinion.
This will make for interesting debate when they are called on to decide the matter – 11 abstentions, perhaps?
Emu tries to recall the statement shire CEO Michael Kennedy made about Dr Kennedy, and shire staff, be-ing “Switzerland”.
Mrs Emu knows. “He said ‘...We are professionally indifferent ... we are ‘Switzerland’, meaning that we do not ‘take sides’. And he’s perfectly right. But ‘indifferent’? That’s the wrong word.”
She quotes from her dictionary: “Indif ferent – an indifferent perfor-mance: mediocre, ordinary, average, mid dling, middle-of-the-road, unin-spir ed, undistinguished ...”
“But is that what the CEO meant? Surely he meant ‘Objective, disinter-ested, impartial, dispassionate, even-handed and open-minded?’ That’s it! ‘Open-minded’, as the shire says coun-cillors must be about the tip – if they haven’t got a confl ict of interest.”
But Emu is not listening. He can’t get the thought of the boom, boom, boom of the fright guns out of his head. As bad, or even worse, than his bride at her most forceful fortissimo. * Search www.mornpen.vic.gov.au for “Proposed Landfi ll at Boundary Road, Dromana”.

BUSINESS OPPORTNITY
By Jo WinterbottomSTATE government MP David Morris claims federal funding to Mornington Peninsula Shire has decreased and has warned against giving the commonwealth more power over local govern-ment at a referendum in September.
Mr Morris, the Liberal MP for Mornington, said funding for the coming fi nancial year was $166,412 less than received for 2012-13.
Describing the cut as a “major blow for the council when it is fi nalising its annual budget”, Mr Morris said federal funding to Victorian coun-cils had decreased by $13.4 million in 2013-14.
“The hardest hit councils have lost almost half a million dollars in federal funding,” he said.
Mr Morris criticised commonwealth spending on the upcoming referendum on local govern-ment, describing it as a “propaganda campaign”.
On September 14 – federal election day – Aus-tralians will also vote on a referendum to recog-nise local government in the constitution.
The move has the support of the vast majority of federal MPs and has been the subject of ex-tensive lobbying by the Australian Local Govern-ment Association and the Municipal Association of Victoria.
It will enable the federal government to directly fund local government without going through the state government as is presently the case.
The shire has contributed $20,000 to an MAV fi ghting fund in support of the constitutional change.
Mr Morris, who is parliamentary secretary for local government, said the state government was opposed to the constitutional change.
“The system’s worked perfectly well for the last 113 years,” he said.
“At present, councils derive all of their author-ity from state parliament; if we get the federal government mixed in, it just complicates the pic-ture even further for absolutely no benefi t.”
There was potential for Canberra to place oner-ous conditions on local government funding.
But MAV president Bill McArthur hit back, saying the state government’s campaign against the referendum was “truly bizarre”.
“The referendum seeks to formalise what has occurred under both Liberal and Labor federal governments for over a decade,” he said.
“It is about removing the current legal risks that place existing federal money for local roads and community facilities under a cloud of doubt fol-lowing recent High Court decisions.”
He refuted as “scaremongering” the claims that a constitutional change could undermine state powers.
“The wording [of the referendum] has been specifi cally designed by constitutional law ex-perts to ensure local government remains a state responsibility,” he said.
“The claim that money to Victorian councils could also be reduced is a sad reality faced by councils every day. Funding cuts from any gov-ernments – state or federal – can occur at any time. This is unrelated to and regardless of any change to our constitution.”
The referendum has strong bipartisan support in the federal parliament; only two MPs voted against changing the constitution to recognise lo-cal government.
The News sought comment from shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden and CEO Michael Kennedy about what the cuts would mean but they could not be contacted before deadline.

A REVISED design for South East Water’s head-quarters being built beside Kananook Creek is about to be submitted to Frankston Council.
Councillors and offi cers including CEO Dennis Hovenden were shown the design last week at the offi ce of SEW’s architect in Melbourne.
The News understands the design is radically different from drawings that have been shown to councillors and the public.
The council sold South East Water the land, which faces Kananook Creek between Beach and Playne streets, for $4 million last year. The council agreed to ignore its own building height regulations to speed up approval for the building on land now used for a car park.
The area has been barricaded (pictured) and contractors are removing a sewage pumping sta-tion that has been at the site since 1968.
The new building is scheduled for completion in 2015 and will house about 700 employees.

By Jo WinterbottomHASTINGS police had a busy morning in Moo-rooduc last week, with dozens of motorist nabbed for a variety of fi nes and misdemeanors.
Uniformed and highway patrol police joined forces with the sheriff’s offi ce to surprise motor-ists going about their business on a cold and clear winter’s morning. The ace up their sleeve was a police automatic number plate recognition vehi-cle, which is made available to Hastings, Morn-ington and Rosebud police once a month each.
Hastings highway patrol boss Sergeant David Collins said he decided to deploy the crew out-side the usual spots in Hastings last Thursday and ended up having “quite a productive day”.
The team set up on Mornington-Tyabb Rd near Moorooduc primary about 9am; by the time they packed up at 1.30pm they had assessed 1721 cars.
Five disqualifi ed or suspended drivers were
discovered, as well as four unregistered cars and four defective vehicles.
Eight people were charged with traffi c offences and 420 people were given random breath tests.
It was a good day out for the sheriff too – 52 people were processed for outstanding warrants and “several thousands” of dollars in fi nes was collected.
Sergeant Collins said part of the success of the number plate recognition technology was its abil-ity to link passing cars to the car’s owner and oth-ers who regularly drive it, casting a wider net for fi ne evaders.
It was proving an effective tool for police be-cause the number of offences detected in such operations was slowly declining as people real-ised how diffi cult it was to outsmart police and the sheriff and their number plate recognition vehicle.

FRANKSTON police have warned bikie gangs to “back off” after a warehouse in Seaford was sprayed with bullets last week.
Sergeant Martin McLean of Frankston crime investigation unit called for calm as detectives in-vestigated the shooting at the Patrick Court club-house of the Nomads chapter of the Hells Angels.
The two-storey prefab warehouse in a small industrial estate near the railway line was unoc-cupied at the time. It remains pock marked with bullet holes.
“They’ve picked the wrong place to set up shop; we are well resourced and we will not toler-ate any unlawful activity,” Sergeant McLean said on Wednesday.
About 30 shots from “military-style heavy calibre fi rearms” were fi red at the building some time in the early hours of Friday 14 June in what police believe may part of an escalating confl ict between the Hells Angels and Bandido gangs.
“These people need to be aware that there are peo-ple who live and work in that area 24 hours a day and we would hate to see innocent people become victims of someone who was reckless and almost carefree with fi rearms,” Sergeant McLean said.
“I would have hated to have been an unarmed security guard happening on that scene.”
Police feared the shooting may lead to more re-
prisals and were investigating whether it was the latest in a series of shootings connected to bikie gangs.
Tensions escalated further on Monday 17 June when shots were fi red at a house in Doveton about 12.30am.
Police investigations are continuing, but it is believed the target may have been Michael Mant-zaris, who is reported to have links with bikie gangs.
The Hells Angels and Bandidos reportedly “de-clared war” in March after two Bandido members were shot outside a Diablos bikie club in Melton.
A new chapter of the Hells Angels Nomads club was established in the Seaford warehouse earlier this year.
Sergeant McLean said the shooting on Friday was the fi rst time Frankston police had any in-volvement with the new group, but it is believed the property was searched by Melbourne-based detectives after the shooting in March.
Sergeant McLean said police maintained a good relationship with a Carrum Downs chapter of the Outlaws motorcycle club.
“We are not getting the same sort of welcome at Patrick Court,” he said.
Anyone with information can call Frankston police on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

CHRISTIANITY: BORING, IRRELEVANT OR UNTRUE?
The Western Port Whisperer
THE Whisperer is back after an extended break. Rumours aplenty have been circulating over the past few months and the fi rst task is to scotch a couple.
Firstly, the Whisperer has not been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, hoping to fi nd asylum in that wonderful South Ameri-can country.
Secondly, the Whisperer has not defected to another publication. While talk of six-fi gure sums from the likes of Somers Paper Nautilus and French Island’s Pinnacle magazine have been heard at Whisperer HQ, the Whisperer is yet to receive what would be a welcome call.
***THE Whisperer has an idea for a new business. It’s not IT and it doesn’t involve making din-ner-time phone calls from an overseas-based call centre.
The business is called Rent-a-Can, rent a pet-rol can, actually.
Running out of fuel in Hastings on Wednes-day night (the fi rst time he has done so in two decades, as he told Mrs Whisperer), the Whis-perer managed to fi nd a friendly driver willing to take him to the nearest service station.
The servo didn’t have any spare cans (like they did two decades ago) but (of course) sold containers.
Each holds fi ve litres of petrol at 139.9 cents a litre (depending on which part of the day you buy, this could go as high as 159.9 cents or as low as 132.9 cents a litre).
OK, you’ve got to buy the petrol because it’s necessary to run an engine, but the can is the problem. And the basis for Rent-a-Can.
The can costs $15.35. The petrol was $7.The Whisperer is thinking about installing
one of those wire cages outside service stations used for swapping gas bottles.
The cages will be stocked with Rent-a-Cans (fi lled on cheap Tuesday or Wednesday) and swapped over for, say, $12 a time.
Investors wanted. This could be the next big franchise opportunity.
***GREAT to see work has started on the retail centre to the east of Kmart in Hastings. The whisper is the boffi ns have done market re-search and are bringing us a couple of much-needed stores.
Aldi is rumoured to be one. Heck knows we are in desperate need of another supermarket, with Hastings hardly serviced by the existing four.
The whisper is the Reject Shop is also com-ing, which is another huge win for the town, with only four variety/discount stores at pre-sent.
Let’s hope the developers get some more much-needed businesses in the town.
May the Whisperer suggest a few more cafes and real estate agents?
***AFTER a week of heavy rain, the roads have opened up again. Potholes that resemble por-tals to the centre of the earth are popping up everywhere. The whisper is that a hatchback went into one on Graydens Rd and wasn’t dis-covered for a week.
***THERE could be good news from BlueScope Steel in Hastings soon. It would be a welcome relief after a string of bad news announcements over the past few years.The weakening Australian dollar and high de-mand for certain products that can be effi cient-ly produced at the Western Port site apparently bode well.

By Mike HastTEN-storey towers 32 metres high could be built on the beach side of Nepean Highway under the proposed Frankston structure plan.
The draft plan was released for public comment on Monday night.
The plan will guide development over the next 20 years and replaces the 2005 TAFE to Bay structure plan.
The proposal is already drawing fi re with two councillors, James Dooley and Glenn Aitken, criticising on ABC television news.
Cr Aitken told the ABC the structure plan “will turn Frankston into a place of mediocrity into the future”.
Cr Dooley said it included zones for high-den-sity housing that could become slums because of “poor architecture and environments”.
The document was “pretty much a blank cheque for developers to come to Frankston and do what they like”.
The plan calls for 17,000 new dwellings to be built in the city by 2030, possibly including 20-storey towers in central Frankston that would be 56 metres high.
Frankston’s central activities area is likely to be expanded north and east.
Community activist Hilary Poad, who also ap-peared on the television news report, said the city should be growing “gradually and gracefully”.
“If you put in high rises, it will become a mini Docklands,” she said.
Frankston could not handle existing traffi c and did not need more development, she said.
On Tuesday, Ms Poad told The News that al-lowing 10-storey buildings on Nepean Highway would stymie development inland. “It’s planning to fail.”
Developers would need large blocks of land to
erect 20-storey towers, she said.“The higher the building, the lower the chance
of it happening. No developer in their right mind would touch it,” she said.
There have been eight attempts to renew Frankston since the late 1990s, including the 1999 Frankston Project, various master plans and updates, the 2003 Feasibility Study for Kananook Creek and the Interchange Precinct, the Wells Street Entertainment development, and the 2005 TAFE to Bay structure plan.
The TAFE to Bay plan allowed for buildings to be smaller at the bay end of the city centre and become higher close to the railway line.
The new plan appears to throw this out the win-dow.
The Frankston Central Activities Area Struc-ture Plan has been prepared by the state Depart-ment of Planning and Community Development and senior Frankston Council offi cers with very little input from councillors.
Councillors were shown a version with no drawings about six weeks ago but did not receive the fi nal draft until three weeks ago.
A briefi ng was held on Wednesday night af-ter fi ve councillors returned from the Australian Council of Local Government meeting in Can-berra.
Also being discussed at Monday’s meeting is an application for an 11-storey building on the Ne-pean Highway between Wells and Beach streets.
The News asked Frankston CEO Dennis Hov-enden if Crs Dooley and Aitken would face ac-tion over revealing the structure plan.
“We have not had the opportunity to discuss the report on the ABC last Friday night as our mayor and some councillors have been in Canberra at-tending the Local Government Australia Confer-ence,” he said.

SOLDANOTHER HAPPY VENDOR
This is a letter of appreciation to you for selling our property
in Hastings. We had been trying to sell for about 18 months
and were getting a little despondent at the lack of success.
At this point we were not sure which direction to take so I
asked my Mum, who had experiences with estate agents
in Western Port Bay and my mum’s words were “ Give Liz
Wall at Ray White Hastings a call” Liz and Leonie made us
feel we were at last on the right track and we felt confident
in the way the whole team focused on the selling plan we
developed. We have to mention Michael Dorio, he put in so
much effort and enthusiasm that he has to take much of the
credit for the sale. He kept us informed, so we always knew
the state of progress. We are certain there was a lot of work
done by Michael and all of you in the background. Success
is sweet at last, and we thank you all for your efforts.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 June 1913.WHILST out driving on Saturday af-ternoon last, a very unfortunate acci-dent befell Mr W. D. Waters and Miss Waters. Miss Waters was driving at a moderate pace, when at the top of Main-street, Mornington, the horse suddenly reared and swerved round, with the result that Mr Waters was thrown violently from the jinker. The horse bolted up the Dromana road with Miss Waters in the trap, which eventually capsised. Miss Waters re-ceived a severe shaking and abrasions and has since been confi ned to her bed. Mr Waters had his shoulder dis-located. Both were attended to by Dr Somers, and we are pleased to state, are progressing favorably.
***AN accident that may easily have been attended with serious results occurred in Frankston on Wednesday. Miss Jol-ly was driving a spirited pony along Bay street, and when turning the cor-ner into Playne street, she lost control of the pony, which narrowly missed running into one of the ornamental trees. Miss Jolly was thrown heavily, but luckily, the ground was soft and, beyond a severe shaking, she suffered no serious injury. The pony continued its mad career and, when captured, the jinker was found to be rather badly damaged, but the pony was not injured.
***THE necessity of establishing a fi re station has for some time been recog-nised by the residents of Carrum. They long ago collected enough money to buy a base reel and other appliances,
but subscriptions then became hard to get, and despairing of being able to let a contract for the work within a reasonable period, it was resolved to convene a working bee of volunteers to put up the station. Operations were commenced by about 30 men at 8am on Saturday, and by dusk a two-roomed building had been erected, one apartment of which is large enough to hold the apparatus, while the other is to be used for meet-ings and offi ce work. The ladies of the township provided refreshments. Only one thing is wanting to complete the premise according to require-ments, and that is a tower to hold an alarm bell. The bell is in hind and the tower will be added shortly.
***DR Sidney Plowman, F.R.C.S., Eng. has been appointed Scientifi c Secre-tary to the Australasian Pharmaceuti-cal Conference.
***A DANCE in aid of the Frankston football club takes placed this (Sat-urday) evening. No pains are being spared to make the function a success, and there should be a good attendance of football supporters.
***AT Healesville recently, trophies were presented to Mr B. Baxter for high-est batting average (66) during the past season, and an umbrella for the highest batting average in the county match. Mr O. Pettit was also presented with a silver cruet for the second best bowling average.
***DEPOSITORS in the State Savings Bank are reminded by advertisement that the Inspector (Mr E. J. Armstrong)
will be in attendance at the Frankston bank on Thursday, 3rd July, and at the Mornington bank Friday, 4th July, for the annual inspection of pass books. It is incumbent upon every depositor to produce his pass-book at this time.
***THE Somerville Fruitgrowers Ladies’ Guild are holding a plain, fancy and poster ball in August, for which prizes are being donated by the following gentlemen for the best dresses in both fancy and poster for ladies and gents: Meesrs Croft Bros., Coop, Keast, Kelly, Wm. Noble, C Grant, Meldrum, and G. Shepherd. The prizes consist of a silver-mounted pipe, silver hand mirror, afternoon tea-set, gents um-brella, etc.
***TWO saloon keepers came into a train where Gipsy Smith, the evangelist, was seated. They monopolised all the conversation. Gipsy was hidden behind a newspaper, but he could not help hearing all that was said. Finally one of the men said: “Mr Smith, we know you, and we want to say that unless you evangelists and ministers stop your knocking at the liquor busi-ness the publicans will have to go to the poor-house.” “All right,” said the evangelist, “when you go in all the rest of the inmates can come out.”
***MR M. Flanagan, of Toolamba, presi-dent of the Tatura football club, has purchased a building allotment in Playne Street, Frankston, and pro-poses to build a summer residence thereon. This makes a total of thirty four blocks recently bought and resold by Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, at an average of £2 6s per foot. The fact, of
thirty-four country traders and leading public men in their respective towns having interests in Frankston must serve as a valuable standing advertise-ment to that town as a seaside resort, and in consequence, there should be many summer visitors in Frankston from distant country towns in the fu-ture to whom previously the advan-tages of our town were unknown.
***CARRUM, Chelsea and Aspendale residents are delighted that Dr J. P. Fogerty has settled in Chelsea, and will practise his profession in their district. In the medical profession, Dr Fogarty has a high reputation, and as a citizen should prove of great worth.The popular doctor, in sporting circles, is quite a champion, having until re-cently been the champion footballer of the University and South Melbourne football clubs. At tennis, rowing and cricket he is also an expert, and is al-ready proving a valuable acquisition to the town.
***MR James Westley, as executor of the late Mr Charles Wright, has for-warded to the undermentioned Chari-ties, as benefi ciaries under the will of deceased, the following amounts: Half yearly instalments - Melbourne Hospital, £61 17s 9d; Alfred Hospi-tal, £45 9s 8d; Homeopathic Hospital, £16 12s 6d; Poor Boxes at Melbourne City Court, South Melbourne Court, Collingwood Court, Fitzroy Court, £5 each; Poor of Mornington, £40. Quarterly Instalments - Melbourne Benevolent Asylum, children’s Hospi-tal, Austin Hospital, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Blind Asylum, £42 each.
***
MR A. Schleebs, who has for the past six years been organist at St Peter’s Church of England, Mornington, wits, on Tuesday evening last, made the re-cipient of a handsome pearl and tour-maline necklet, as a mark of esteem in which she was held by the vestry and members of the choir. Mrs Schleebs has been connected with the choir for sixteen years and is now relinquishing her duties as organist.
***AMONGST the entrants for the Grand National Steeplechase, to be run at Flemington next month, we note the steeplechasers Lord Emms and Ze-phron, horses that are well known locally and have the reputation of be-ing good jumpers. The winner of this race will receive in stake money about £2000. Probably Mr Claude Grice, of Frankston, will ride his own horse, Lord Emms, and the pilot of Zephron will probably be Mr M. J. Farrel, also well known in Frankston.
***A COMMITTEE meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club was held on Thursday evening, when the following members were present: Dr Maxwell (president), Mrs Deane, Mrs Dialman, Miss D. Gregory, Rev G. A. Kitchen, Mr A. G. Young, and the hon. sec. (Miss Brody). A detailed account of last year’s expenditure was tabled by the secretary and approved. It was decided to procure a loud of gravel to put on the clay near the en-trance. The secretary was instructed to procure prices for re-making the old court, and report at a future meeting. It was decided, after a full discus-sion, that the annual ball be held on Wednesday, 17th September.

By Stuart McCulloughTHERE are just two things in this world I can’t stand: intolerance and the left handed. I just know they’re out there, living their left-handed lives, oblivious to the simmering contempt in which I hold them. It fairly sends a chill down my spine to think that I may well pass these mutants on the street without so much as realizing it. Sometimes I secretly suspect that they’re planning to gang up on me, to give me the beating of my life, albeit using the wrong hand.
Before you south-pawed freaks of nature defy the natural order and use that tragically over-developed left hand to compose a stern letter of com-plaint, let me assure you that I suspect my bigotry would melt as surely as sugar in rain if I actually knew a few lefties. Besides, I don’t really hate left-handed people. I just feel a little sorry for them. After all, who wants to go through life unable to use a right-handed can opener? Or regular scis-sors?
I’ll admit that I’ve kept this thought to myself until now and, quite frankly, it feels kind of good to get it off my chest. No doubt my views will come as something of a shock to well-meaning leftoids who were previously oblivious to the bitter resentment that percolates daily beneath my skin.
But I know all too well that there’s nothing so bad as learning that you’re the target of denigration. For years I
have been left to live a life that is free of vilifi cation. I have offended no one. If I have been noticed by others at all, it is only for the purpose of be-ing ignored. Suddenly, all that has now changed and I fi nd, unexpectedly, that I too am a fi gure of hate.
There’s no easy way to put this – I am a man and I own several blue ties.
At the time, I had no inkling of the depth of offence I was causing to oth-ers. Like a blue rag to a bull, I have been unwittingly taunting people in what can only be described as a vulgar display of unbridled machismo.
Forget unruly moustaches or a chest
carpet thick and lustrous enough to create dreadlocks – testosterone these days is a lot less hairy and a good deal more neat casual.
No one was more surprised than I to hear our Prime Minister speak about her loathing of men in blue ties.
Personally, I fi nd it a little under-whelming. As far as a dystopian vi-sion of the future goes, it strikes me as something that still needs a little work. Imagine if George Orwell’s 1984 had presented his vision of a world domi-nated not by Big Brother and members of ‘the Party’ but of men in blue ties?
He’d be almost certainly out of print
by now. But since that speech, I’ve given a lot of thought to this hitherto undeclared hostility and, suddenly, in a blinding fl ash, I came to a realization after which a strange sense of calm descended up me. The penny dropped, rolled into the storm water drain and would never be seen again. ‘This,’ I thought to myself, ‘Explains every-thing.’
For some time now I have felt peo-ple looking at me with contempt. At fi rst, I thought they simply disagreed with my decision to sing along to my I-pod while on public transport. It now occurs to me that they were merely reacting to the instrument of oppres-sion that I was dangling right in front of their faces.
I could, of course, blame others for their intolerance but that would be the easy way out. No sir. The appropriate thing to do here is to hold a mirror up to myself, remove my tie and question my motivations for wearing the cursed thing in the fi rst place. It’s no accident that I wore a blue tie. Rather, it was clearly an act of aggression that cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged.
I should know better. As a kid, I was regarded as being a little different be-cause I took piano lessons. In Tyabb and in the 1970s, this kind of fl amboy-ance was a direct challenge to societal norms. Other kids made their feelings known, sneering and teasing me on a regular basis. I don’t know why they resented me so much. Perhaps they
were jealous or had their own musical ambitions thwarted. Or maybe they were left handed and simply angry at the world at large. Who knows? The point is, it confused me then as surely as it puzzles me still.
I guess that’s how I felt about the whole blue tie fi asco. For an instant, I felt surprised at having (possibly) done the wrong thing, at least accord-ing to somebody else. It was never my intention. The part of me that’s eager to please is more than willing to make the switch to bow ties or even that strange stringy thing so beloved by Texan businessmen.
Chances are, though, that someone would fi nd something else to which they object. Prejudice is a bit like that. It’s petty, illogical and owes every-thing to fear rather than rationality. Enough is enough.
Perhaps we all have our biases; our ingrained prejudices that bubble to the surface when we’re not looking. May-be we can all do a little better.
This week, I will avoid wearing a blue tie. It’s not really about shunning a type of neckwear, more a sign that I am more than willing to back off if you are. Others should try to be a little nicer. Even if we have to shut the inter-net for a couple of weeks, it’s a small price to pay. As for the left handed, try doing things normally this week and see how you like it. www.stuartmccullough.com

HastingsscoreboardWESTERN PORT
NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyCRIB Point kept its fi nals aspirations alive with a strong, come-from-behind win over Hastings in the battle of Western Port.
The Magpies have experienced an up and down season, dropping their opening three games before winning four on the trot.
Before Saturday’s game against arch-rival Hastings, the Pies had lost their previous two matches.
Without question, Crib Point’s season was on the line.
Despite having as much of the football and probably even more than the Blues at various stages during the match, it couldn’t convert opportunities.
At half-time, the Pies had four more scoring shots but trailed by a point.
At three-quarter time, despite the efforts of Luke Herrington in attack and through the middle, and David Cook playing through the pivot, the Magpies still trailed by seven points.
The last quarter was a cracker, the Pies again inaccurate with 4.9 for the quarter, against Hastings’ 3.3. The Pies almost kicked themselves out of it but eventually got home in a thriller 14.22-106 to 15.11-101.
Luke Herrington was best on the ground with three goals. Sammy Austin and Dean Kairies also booted
three each. Matty Sloper continued his good form and Dave Lawson led from the front.
Colin McVeigh fi nished with four for the Blues, and Tony Mirabella and Glenn Michie kicked three each. Mick Agnello and Josh Mulheron played their best games of the season, and David Hull put in another strong performance.
The Magpies are sixth on the ladder, a game and 17 per cent behind Pearcedale.
Pearcedale maintained its position in the top fi ve when it smashed Devon Meadows by 68 points.
In what was expected to be a close contest, given Pearcedale’s poor form, the visitors completely outclassed their shell-shocked opponents, virtually winning the game in the fi rst quarter by kicking eight goals to zip.
Former Melbourne high-fl yer Russell Robertson was expected to line up for Devon, but his home club wouldn’t clear him.
By half-time, the winner had been decided, the Dales leading 13.7 to 1.5. The single Devon Meadows goal came late in time-on in the second quarter.
Daniel Murray and Matthugh Vagg booted three goals and two goals respectively in the fi rst half, but had little infl uence in the second as the home side pushed numbers behind the ball. Devon’s sole focus was to prevent another 100-point blow-out.
The fi nal score was 16.16-112 to 6.8-48.
Pat Cadd was clearly best on ground with 34 possessions and four goals. Chris Fortnam had 29 touches, and Chris Hensby and Ben Cadd were dominant through the middle of the ground.
Khalid Foggi played his best game for the club at half-forward, providing plenty of run, while the likes of Matty White, Dean Janssen, Travis Sauer and Andrew Douglas also were dominant.
There wasn’t a lot to get excited about for Devon. Callum O’Hare was sensational in the ruck with 25 possessions and more than 10 marks, while Troy Aust kicked four of the team’s six goals.
Frankston Bombers lost its second game on the trot on Saturday, smashed by more than 10 goals by ladder leader and reigning premier Sorrento.
After a tight fi rst quarter, the Sharks kicked away in the second and led by seven goals at half-time.
The margin was still seven goals at three-quarter time before the visitors booted fi ve goals to one in the last to record a comfortable win 17.13-115 to 7.5-47.
Leigh Poholke booted fi ve for the winners and Zac Byrns kicked four, while Trevor Mattison, Cayden Beetham and Leigh Treeby were outstanding yet again.
The Bombers went into the game
with a number of changes, including James Degenhart, Jay Reynolds, Marcus Bate and Brian O’Carroll not playing.
Shane Vandervalk had his fi rst game for the season and performed well.
Somerville came into its Saturday match against Dromana in red hot form, but it mattered little against the most devastating side in the competition.
The Tigers had 12 scoring shots to three in the opening quarter and fi nished with 42 scoring shots to 16.
The fi nal margin was 91 points, 20.22-142 to 7.9-51.
The Tigers had 11 goalkickers. Terry Wheeler, Dan Gormley and Daniel Waddell fi nished with three each, and Stuart Cleeve dominated the contest.
Luke Collie and Ben Sedgewick led the way for the Eagles.
Rosebud once again took the big stick to its opponent, smashing Tyabb by 121 points.
After starting the season playing a defensive style of game, the Buds have kicked big scores in the past couple of weeks, this time booting a massive 26.18-174 to 8.5-53.
Ben Schultz made it 14 goals in two matches with another bag of seven. Perhaps the big fella is starting to get an appetite for goals again after spending a few matches in defence.
Matty Payne kicked fi ve goals and Keegan Downie was superb also with
four goals, while Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft were outstanding.
Ash Waterstone was the chief contributor up front for the visitors with three goals, while Ash Ballinger and Jake Anderson worked tirelessly.
Rye stars Darren Booth and Adam Kirkwood dominated once again for their team on Saturday, together with skipper Rhett Sutton to outclass Red Hill.
During the week, the Demons drew a line in the sand and reprimanded four players, including Sean Cain and Jai Lloyd, for failing to attend a compulsory club function.
The stand from the club made a big difference to the attitude of the group and it got away to a fl yer.
But despite the fl ying start, booting 7.6 to one goal in the opening quarter, the Demons let the opposition back into the contest and led by just 16 points at three-quarter time.
However with Ben Holmes fi nishing with fi ve goals and Andrew Dean three, together with good performances from Ryan Taylor and Ben Winters-Kerr, the Demons were able to kick away in the last and win 14.19-103 to 10.5-65.
Jake Mold booted three goals and was clearly Red Hill’s best player, while Peter Dal Lago and Tommy Carter also worked hard for four quarters.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyMT ELIZA sits clear in outright second place on the Peninsula League ladder after a dominant display against Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday.
While this was billed as the game of the round, it was the match down the road at Chelsea that had footy people talking.
The Seagulls won their second game of the season, outclassing a struggling Seaford by 17 points.
The Seaford Tigers’ fi nals aspirations are in big trouble after the loss.
In other matches, Bonbeach got its season back on track with a win against Pines, Frankston YCW belted Mornington, and Karingal proved too strong for Langwarrin.
In a season with little separating the top teams, Mt Eliza and Edithvale went toe to toe for outright second position.
For the loser, it was still battle time against all other teams vying for a place in the fi nals.
In the corresponding game earlier in the season, the Redlegs were smashed by Edi-Asp, losing by more than seven
goals.But the Redlegs’ form in recent
times has been superb and many believed Mt Eliza would continue on its merry way.
In the fi rst quarter, the Redlegs got the jump with four goals to one and by half-time the margin was 37 points.
The only break-even quarter for Edi-Asp was the fi nal term, when both sides booted 3.2.
The fi nal score was 16.10-106 to 9.10-64.
Scott Lockwood put on a show yet again with six goals for the Redlegs while Josh Norman was unstoppable again with three.
Daine Taylor and Ben Lean dominated and Tim Strickland was a handful in attack with two goals.
Brent Bowden was the Eagles’ best with three goals and Tim Mannix and Adam Budge worked hard.
Mt Eliza coach Jason Watts said it was a very important win.
“With the competition as close as it is, you have to keep winning and maintain momentum,” Watts said.
“We’ve been playing some really good footy, footy that we believe is
good enough to beat any side.“Edithvale touched us up in round
two and it was important we turned the table on them.
“I think we’re still a way off our best footy but we are certainly building towards it,”
Seaford is in eighth position on the ladder, a game and more than 25 per cent outside the fi ve, after losing to bottom side Chelsea 13.6-84 to 9.13-67.
A betting person would say the Tigers can no longer make the top fi ve. While there is still plenty of footy to be played, the closeness of the competition dictates that you cannot be this far off the pace. Its percentage is going to hurt it at the business end.
On Saturday, the injury-ravaged Tigers were not competitive after quarter time.
Tigers’ coach Craig McIndoe said there were more than a half a dozen changes to the side that lost to Langwarrin the week before.
“We all get injuries and it gives opportunity to others in the under-18s and reserves, but it does make things pretty hard,” McIndoe said.
Chelsea has continued to stick at it and its performances are becoming a lot more consistent after a horror start to the year.
Jason Clark kicked three goals for the Seagulls, while Hudson Thomas and Luke Clark also booted three each. It was a day for the Clarks with Bradley getting best on round.
Teenager Mitch White was Seaford’s best, while skipper Aaron Walton led from the front.
Bonbeach jumped back into the top fi ve after beating Pines 11.12-78 to 7.13-55.
Ricky Ferraro, Mark Tyrell, Shane McDonald and Paul Rebeschini dominated for the Sharks.
The visitors got away to a good start and opened up a three-goal break at the fi rst change, before extending it to 28 points at half-time. The fi nal margin was 23 points.
Aaron Ludewig, Adam Maling and Shaun Stewart were the best of the Pythons.
Chris Hay returned for Karingal on Saturday against Langwarrin and had an immediate impact with fi ve goals for the Bulls.
After a tight fi rst half where just three points separated the sides at the break, the Bulls kicked away in the third term with fi ve goals to one.
The fi nal margin was 31 points, 13.8-86 to 8.7-55.
The win saw the Bulls go back inside the fi ve, just percentage behind Edi-Asp for a top-three spot.
Aaron Paxton and Sam McGarry were outstanding for the Bulls while Andrew Fowler was good once again.
Langwarrin’s Beau Muston was arguably best on ground and his performance included a towering mark.
Andrew Withers and Shane Urbans were also very good for the Kangas, who just can’t seem to beat Karingal.
Frankston YCW was due to thrash a side and it did so against Mornington on Saturday, winning 16.17-113 to 6.9-45.
Scott McLeod and Kyle Hutchison booted three goals each for the Stonecats while Riley Santon and Jack Mazurek were major contributors.
Anthony Franchina, Lucas Forato and Michael Bray were the best of the Doggies.
