A DISGRUNTLED French Islander who al-legedly threatened to “blow up” the Stony Point to Tankerton ferry, Thursday 3 Septem-ber, has been arrested and charged with mak-ing threats to kill.

Police have also raided the man’s home and seized several fi rearms.

Two uniformed police travelled on the ferry that afternoon to protect passengers from any possible threat.

The man, 60, who is alleged to have made the threats, has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in January and banned from using the ferry.

It is understood the man is a pensioner and has written to Hastings MP Neale Burgess ex-plaining his actions and expressing concern about his welfare and health if unable to leave the island to seek medical treatment.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Darren Sherren, of Hastings CIU, said the man made the threats by phone to the Public Transport Victoria complaints line.

“He was not happy with the service and cer-tain things were said, including threatening to blow up the ferry with explosives as the result of a long, ongoing feud,” Detective Sherren said.

“The PTV then relayed the nature of the call through to us and we raided a French Island property and seized fi rearms.”

Detective Sherren the man’s fi rearm’s li-cence would be reviewed.

The ferry runs between Stony Point, and Tankerton on French Island, and Cowes, Phil-lip Island.

Although having a daily, year-round schedule varying weather conditions make departures problematic. This has led to frequent com-plaints from passengers, claiming the service is poorly run and the operator unresponsive.

Several public meetings and ongoing com-plaints to the state government (Liberal and Labor) have failed to resolve differences be-tween some islanders and the ferry operator, Frank Denvir.

Mr Denvir, when contacted by email by The News, declined to comment.

The service has been operating in Western Port since 1994 and has grown from 25-pas-senger vessels operating to French Island only, to two high speed passenger catamarans run-ning to Phillip Island and out to Seal Rocks.

PTV says the large tidal variation in Western Port and volatile air and sea conditions make operations diffi cult. It does not guarantee op-eration of the ferry “in the interest of ensuring passenger safety”.

The French Island Community Association has issued a plea for islanders to “please be patient” while it tries to sort out the confu-sion over where the ferry is allowed to berth at Stony Point.

Accounts differ as to why the ferry cannot safely berth at the Stony Point jetty. One ac-count states that new infrastructue is needed on the saeaward side of the jetty, while high tides make berthing hazardous on the inside, where their is a landing.

“Please be patient as it is diffi cult to try and get hold of the relevant people and sort through the information, and we are only a few days in,” FICA secretary Nicky Pitkanen stated in an emial on Wednesday 9 September.

CRIB Point sharpshooter Ebony Mc-Dermott is Nepean Netball League’s top goal scorer for the third year in a row.

The 18-year-old Western Port Secondary College year 12 student has played 53 games for Crib Point since 2013.

She is regarded as such a danger that opposing teams often pit two players against her to nullify her

Goals aplenty: Ebony McDermott is league’s top scorer – again.Picture: Yanni

Straight shooter reaches her goal, again and againdominance.

At 177cm tall, McDermott is often up against fi x-footers (183cm), but this hasn’t stopped her scoring 550 goals in 2013, 865 last year and 485 this year.

“They do it all the time and it’s so frustrating,” she said. “I get tag-teamed.”

McDermott started playing school netball at age 10. “Mum got me into it,” she said. “I played primary school and then squad netball, specialising in goal attack and goal shooter.

“I like playing for the local club; it’s good for fun and fi tness and social activities and I like playing with my friends.”

Head coach Laura Herrington de-scribed McDermott as “a really good player”.

“She is one of our youngest talents

and we are very lucky to have her.”League football and netball coordi-

nator Judi Sutton said McDermott’s positioning, timing and ability to manoeuvre into the right position al-lowed her to capitalise on her scoring opportunities. “What she does is very effective,” Ms Sutton said.

“She’s tall and a marvel to watch – and she’s very accurate.”

Sadly, Crib Point’s A-graders lost their preliminary fi nal to Rye 43-32 and, last year, lost the grand fi nal to Tyabb by a goal after the siren.

“It was horrible,” McDermott said. “And by only a goal, too.”

And the future? “I’d like to be a physiotherapist, even though I know it’s very hard to get into,” she said.

Almost as hard as being double teamed, no doubt.

REMEMBERING to check regularly on family, friends and work mates was the message behind Western Port Secondary College’s R U OK? Day – billed as “A conversation that could change a life”.

The national day of action at the college last Wednesday and Thursday saw a student “wellbe-ing team” extend the day to a week-long health initiative.

RUOK? Day ambassadors from the year 10 leadership team spread the message by visiting classrooms, running a photo booth, organising a 4

Square tournament for years 7-9 and hosting a lunch time music concert.

“As an identifi ed health-pro-moting school our aim is to have the biggest impact possible try-ing and to address mental health in our community,” wellbeing team member Donna Nairn said.

“We are a caring and resilient community and we know that staying connected to others is crucial to our social and emo-tional health and wellbeing. A conversation can help prevent little problems turning into big ones.” Pictures: Yanni

HANNAH Swinnerton, of Hastings, pictured, has set her sights on a wor-thy cause: she is a fi nalist in the Face of Confi dence Australia pageant with the national fi nals to be held on the Gold Coast 24 September.

The pageant aims to raise aware-ness of such domestic challenges as depression, anxiety, bullying, suicide and domestic violence.

Organisers say they “look at the beauty within your mind and your heart and is about fi ring up the pas-sion to see a brighter future – no mat-ter what your circumstances”.

“The pageant is about being a voice to say ‘No’ to domestic violence and

to say, ‘Despite my challenges I am gifted’. But everyone is challenged by something in life.”

Ms Swinnerton, 21, said she entered the pageant to improve her self-confi dence and to help raise awareness of domestic violence.

“I’d also like to make more friends.”

The pageant is open to men and women, boys and girls of all ages and all sizes and shapes, skin colour, religion and cultural beliefs.

Raising awareness on the home front

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has been asked to uphold a maintenance agreement it signed with the develop-ers of Kinfauns Estate, Hastings.

A petition with 134 signatures asks the shire to: Repair and reinstall vandalised

ornamental entrance gates facing Frankston-Flinders Rd; Repair and reinstall all decorative

fencing, features, gazebo, tennis court, lighting and plantings that have either been vandalised, removed by council or destroyed by poor management of rabbits in the estate; and Residents be consulted before

any further changes are made to the streetscape of the estate.

Council has responded by saying staff and Cerberus ward councillor David Garnock will arrange a meeting later this month between residents, the shire and the estate with a view to

setting up a residents’ advisory group to deal with the problems.

Petition v petitionSHOREHAM residents have pe-titioned the shire to open Blake St via Buxton Lane at the north end of Buxton Woodland Reserve to connect the two parts of Shoreham without the need for residents to drive on to Frankston-Flinders Rd.

The petition contains 42 signatures.A second petition of about 98

signatures argues the opening would “destroy the quiet ambience of Shoreham and traffi c would increase signifi cantly on the dirt road”.

The shire responded by saying it had examined the road link proposal but “there was no indication of strong community support” for it and con-sidering costs and potential impact, it

was not considered a high priority.The petitions were then circulated.

The shire will now study the best way to proceed and will notify petitioners, offi cers said.

Guard’s trivia nightA TRIVIA night being run by the Westernport Volunteer Coast Guard Flotilla has $5000 in prizes or offered for sale in the silent auction.

Among the prizes and auction items are fi shing trips, gym memberships, personal training sessions, garden supplies, health and beauty vouch-ers, aerial photography, tickets to the penguin parade, accommodation and golf rounds.

NEALE BURGESS MP STATE MEMBER FOR HASTINGS

THE “advocacy organisation” GetUp has a planned campaign to keep up the pressure on Flinders MP and Environ-ment Minister Greg Hunt over threats to the Great Barrier Reef from coal exports.

Mr Hunt last week accused mem-bers of a GetUp protest of upsetting and intimidating a staff member at his Hastings offi ce (“Staff ‘upset, intimi-dated’ by coal protesters - MP”, The News 8/9/15).

But one of two men who carried a crate of coal into the offi ce on Wednes-day alleges the version of events as outlined by Mr Hunt is “far from the truth, an incredible fabrication”.

Simon Hawking, of Somers, said Mr Hunt’s reaction was “disappointing and so misleading”.

Mr Hawking cheerfully admits to carrying the coal into the offi ce, but denies intimidating or threatening anyone.

The staff member’s comment - “So you’re going to pollute our offi ce with coal?” - when relayed to the protesters outside, was met with “laughter and disbelief”.

Mr Hawking said he told the staff member that the crate of coal was “symbolic of what Mr Hunt was con-signing to the nation”.

“I absolutely and categorically deny there was any threatening behaviour,” he said. “There were three police hap-pily chatting to the crowd and, surely, they would have been called in? I’ll leave it to other people to draw their

own conclusions.”Mr Hawking said it was disappoint-

ing when citizens concerned about the environment were made out to be bul-lies and intimidators.

Following the demonstration he had written to The Age quoting Mr Hunt’s staff member because the “irony in the message needed to be spread further”.

“I couldn’t believe the irony when she used the word pollution,” Mr Hawking said.

Mr Hunt last week told The News that the behaviour of two men during the anti-coal mine protest was “utterly unacceptable”.

“A member of staff was deeply upset and intimidated by two of the protest-ers,” Mr Hunt said.

“This aggressive behaviour by two

male protesters towards a female staff member is utterly unacceptable and should be condemned by GetUp.

“I certainly hope their behaviour is not representative of the organisation and did not represent the general be-haviour of the delegation.”

GetUp this week said Wednesday's rally was “just the beginning”.

“We've got an audacious plan to keep the pressure up on our environ-ment minister (and your local mem-ber) as he decides whether or not to re-approve Adani's beleaguered coal port and mine,” it said in an email call-ing supporters to a meeting at Hastings Community Hall on Thursday.

In the letter published in The Age SaturProtesters are fi ghting against the Indian-based Adani Mining’s plans for

Carmichael open cut coal mine near Moranbah in central Queensland and the export of coal from Abbot Point, near the Great Barrier Reef.

The government’s approval for the mine was set aside by the High Court in August after being presented with evidence of a bungle within Mr Hunt’s department which meant there were no provisions to protect the endangered yakka skink and ornamental snake.

The falling price of coal and an an-nouncement by the Commonwealth Bank of its withdrawal as Adani’s ad-visor may mean that the project’s “life-time resource value of at least $300 billion” may stay in the ground.

Mr Hunt, although asked for his views by The News, did not comment on the bank’s action or provide an esti-

mate of the number of jobs likely to be created by the coalmine.

GetUp describes itself as one of Australia's largest campaigning com-munities and claims to have more than 800,000 members.

“We're an independent, grassroots, community advocacy organisation that seeks to build a more progressive Aus-tralia and hold politicians to account.”

Joe Lenzo, of Safety Beach, said he too helped carry to coal into the offi ce and accused Mr Hunt of exaggerating the incident.

“If his staff were so intimidated, maybe they should not be working in a political capacity. I can assure you that our ‘intimidating’ was only 50 per cent of the example set by the federal government during public question time,” Mr Lenzo said.

“We are only taking our guidelines and limits of what is proper from their example and trying to not sink to their wretched depths of shamelessness.”

Sam Regester, a GetUp senior cam-paigner, expressed the organisation’s “regret if staff members were upset”.

“The handing over of a gift of balloon sea creatures and a big bucket of coal by children, their parents and supporters was intended as a symbol that the community urges the environ-ment minister to choose coral over coal,” Mr Register said.

“If the minister doesn’t want coal polluting his offi ce, then why would he allow mega-mines in the Galilee Basin that risk polluting local water supplies, impacting communities and risking the future of the Great Barrier Reef?”


SHEEP showing might not feature in the main-stream curriculum – unless your child goes to Woodleigh School, Langwarrin South, that is.

Here, it’s an activity taken seriously by the students as part of their agricultural program. And, as proof of their interest, they are hosting a show in December and inviting other schools to compete.

Woodleigh, in Golf Links Rd, has a farm where the students organise almost all their requirements. Student Ella McCarthy said it had a range of animals, including Corriedale sheep, pigs, ducks, chickens and goats and other animals from time to time.

“One part of our farm is for the sheep showing team,” she said. “We breed, raise and run a fl ock of roughly 50 Corriedale sheep, some of which we take to shows.

“For the past three years we have held a show of our own. The 2012 show was only for the Woodleigh sheep showing team, and we ran classes and competitions for all the students and

their families. “As it was such a success, we have decided

to open our show to other sheep showing teams such as Elisabeth Murdoch College, Chairo Christian School and Flinders Christian Commu-nity College, after having successfully run two shows for these schools.”

Students have spent a lot of time organising and planning this year’s event, to be held 5-6 December at Woodleigh. Students prepare up to two sheep and show them in classes. Ribbons and prizes are awarded.

The school is seeking sponsorship packages, such as the gold sponsorship, which offers money or prizes equivalent to $500. There’s also a silver sponsorship: money or prizes of $250 and bronze sponsorship: money or prizes of $50.

In return, it offers advertising in all catalogues and schedules leading up to the event, logos on all signage, banners and handouts to the public, and promotions over loud speakers at the show.

Call the school for details: 5971 6100.

Annual book fairST MARKS Anglican Church, Bal-narring is again holding a secondhand book fair starting 9am, Saturday 19 September.

The book fair, running since the early 1990s, will cater to all tastes with thousands of condition books for sale.

The fair is in the hall next to the opportunity shop, 1 Balnarring Rd, Balnarring. It will also be open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, fi nishing on Saturday 26 September. Details: 0425 700 713.

School grantsSCHOOLS across the Mornington Peninsula will next year share $4.5 million for “building and upgrading schools and helping families with the costs of uniforms, glasses, camps, excursions and more”.

MP for Eastern Victoria Daniel Mulino said the money will pro-vide “extra support” to teachers and principals “accompanied by a new emphasis on collaboration and accountability, including a set of statewide targets that will help focus on students”.

The money going to schools ranges from $715,600 to Western Port Secondary College to $5000 each to Mornington Secondary College, Perseverance Primary School, French Island, Mornington Special Devel-opmental School, Mornington Park Primary School and Somers School Camp.

Among the highest allocations are Eastbourne Primary School ($337,175) and Hastings Primary ($302,453).

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire's Dial-A-Bus service is 10.

Starting with three passengers – collected by the shire’s aged and disability transport team leader on her way to work – it has grown into a dial-up service to all areas of the shire servicing 520 regular passengers.

It offers those aged over 60, or those of any age who have a disability (and their carer), a door-to-door transport option across the peninsula.

Around 70 Dial-A-Bus passengers

celebrated the service’s 10th birthday at the shire's Rosebud offi ce on Thurs-day 3 September.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the fi rst Dial-A-Bus service began col-lecting passengers in the Balnarring through to Hastings areas.

“The service changed the previous senior citizens’ club-focused transport to anyone aged over 60 or anyone with a disability,” she said. “This has helped many of our passengers remain independent and engaged, helping

them to continue to live in their own home for longer.

“The Dial-A-Bus been successful in providing local area transport to shops and doctors and the like – and it has become a conduit for socialisation with other bus passengers.”

Passengers are picked up from any address in the service area, and de-livered anywhere in the same service area. These areas include Portsea, Sorrento, Blairgowrie to Rosebud, Mt Martha to Mornington, Rye to

Rosebud, Balnarring to Hastings, Dromana, McCrae to Rosebud, Red Hill to Hastings, Flinders to Hastings, Somerville, Tyabb, Safety Beach to Mornington, McCrae, Rosebud, Mt Eliza to Mornington and Mornington.

Passengers pay $1 each way. They need to be independent and mobile, with wheelchairs and mobility aids allowed. Bookings: call 5950 1605 or visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/Dial_A_Bus. They must be made by 10am on the business day before the day of travel.

Birthday bus: Community support services coordinator John Gray, Crs David Gibb, Antonella Celi and David Garnock, mayor Bev Colomb with David Carr of Mornington, team leader of access and mobility transport Carol Hooper, and access and mobility transport assistants Janene Tresize, Wendy Lott, Peter Dixon, Jason Thomas and Michael West.

THE leader of a mosque at Langwar-rin believes a vendetta is being waged against his congregation.

Imam Syed Wadood Janud said three men were attacked at the mosque by intruders at about 9pm on Friday 4 September, leaving one victim with a broken nose and the others with facial injuries.

The Bait-ul-Salam Mosque in Lei-sureland Drive is the Victorian head-quarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, an Islamic movement whose members are persecuted by Muslims in some other countries, par-ticularly Pakistan.

Members of the community were said to be in shock at the cowardly attack and security at the mosque is to be increased with the addition of CCTV caneras and higher fences.

Imam Janud said three men who abused and assaulted members of the group had “probably been here be-fore”.

“[Racism has] been an ongoing is-sue and we have had people come in four times in the past three months,” Imam Janud said.

“But this is the fi rst time they have confronted and assaulted our members physically and that’s why the police became involved.”

Senior Sergeant Ron Barbury, of Carrum Downs police, is appealing for witnesses to the incident in which two Muslim men in their 60s and a

Three injured in mosque attackStephen [email protected]

45-year-old man were assaulted. A 61-year-old Cranbourne man had his nose broken and the others sustained facial injuries.

Senior Sergeant Barbury said the as-sault was “obviously prearranged”.

“The mosque is out of the way and does not attract attention,” he said. “You would have to know it’s there to go there. It’s not like it’s on a main

highway.“It was certainly a targeted attack.”Iman Janud said a man in his 20s

entered the Muslim community centre about 9pm and began “racially abusing and using indecent language and curs-ing” its members.

“He was asked to leave and our members followed him out but there they were met by two others and the

trouble began.”The offenders had jumped the fence

to gain entry to the mosque premises. “They are the same fellows; they are targeting us. It is sad that these few people in the community are against us.

“We endeavour to reach out to the community so that people know what we stand for.”

Despite the violence the centre will not be seeking criminal charges.

“We will ask the police to have them come and visit the mosque so that they can see who we are and to discuss any issues they may have,” Imam Janud said.

“We want to be part of the commu-nity in Langwarrin and, hopefully, af-ter talking with them we may change their minds.”

Senior Sergeant Barbury said he was planning to visit the centre this week “to reassure members” of police sup-port.

A pressing topic of discussion will be a 10 October rally by far-right fringe groups – perhaps United Pa-triots Front or Reclaim Australia – protesting against mosques and their teachings generally.

“We have been advised a call to pro-test has gone out and – in the event it goes ahead – we will have a police presence there,” he said.

“We are not sure how organised these people [the protesters] are so we will be preparing just in case.”

Senior Sergeant Barbury added: “What drives people to do these kinds of acts I don’t know. Whether they like it or not, we have a lot of differ-ent religions and races in our commu-nity and we have to live harmoniously. Targeting a particular group of people for whatever reason is pointless and wrong.’’

He said the three offenders were in their early 20s, Caucasian and wearing hooded jumpers.

Increased security: Imam Syed Wadood Janud does not want to lay charges over assaults at the Bait-ul-Salam Mosque, Langwarrin, although changes will be made to improve security. Picture: Yanni

A LAWYER and volunteer at the Asylum Seekers’ Resource Centre will speak about refugees at a South-ern Women’s Action Network meet-ing, 10.30am Sunday 20 September.

Gabriella Bornstein, pictured, a member of the resource centre’s speaking team, will discuss the issues faced by the organisation and its ef-forts to assist, advocate for, empower, and educate refugees seeking asylum.

The venue is the Mornington Penin-sula Shire offi ces, corner Victoria and Queen streets, Mornington.

Ms Bornstein’s family background instigated her interest in helping refu-gees and her other volunteer work has been teaching English and numeracy in Tanzania.

THE Point Nepean quarantine station will not be reopened to provide sanc-tuary for refugees fl eeing the confl ict in Syria despite suggestions last week it could be a suitable base for asylum seekers.

Liberal state opposition leader Mat-thew Guy had urged Labor Premier Daniel Andrews to consider housing some Syrian refugees at the Point Ne-pean station “at the end of the Morn-ington Peninsula” early last week.

“In 1998-99, the Kennett govern-ment and the Howard government managed to bring many hundreds of Kosovar refugees to that site,” Mr Guy said.

“If Daniel Andrews won’t do any-thing with that site then we should use it for good rather than letting it rot and how we could use it for good is use it to house in a peaceful environment many hundreds of Syrian families who are fl eeing war and persecution and op-pression.”

The Premier said advice received

from bureaucrats noted the Point Ne-pean barracks are in no condition to house refugees but Mr Andrews said Victoria is prepared to play its part in accepting its share of 12,000 Syrian refugees the federal government will allow to permanently resettle in Aus-tralia for humanitarian reasons.

Mr Guy’s proposal to house refugees at Point Nepean was also nixed by his federal Liberal colleagues.

Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said the Syrian refugees, unlike the Kosovars, will not return to their coun-try of birth so a “temporary refuge” is not needed.

“It will be mainly women, children and families identifi ed from persecuted minorities for whom the confl ict in the Middle East and how it might unfold will see no opportunity for them to re-turn to their homes,” he said.

“It’s a humanitarian program that sees those allocated visas settled in the community, not in a particular or sin-gle facility.”

Mr Billson’s cabinet colleague, Flin-ders MP Greg Hunt, also noted it is “unlikely that a single central facility will be required”.

“In all likelihood they will be inte-grated into the community as they ar-rive in family units,” Mr Hunt said.

“This is as opposed to the temporary places that were required to house the Kosovar refugees.”

Mr Hunt said the Point Nepean quar-antine station could be an option to be investigated if such a centre is re-quired.

Nepean Liberal state MP Martin Dixon backed Mr Guy’s suggestion that Point Nepean could be used to house Syrian refugees.

“Thanks to over $40 million dollars invested in utilities and infrastructure by the federal government the former Coalition government, Point Nepean is now a much more viable option for ref-ugee accommodation than it was when we hosted the Kosovars in 1999,” he said.

“The Premier is showing his com-plete ignorance regarding Point Ne-pean as these funds have been specifi -cally invested to prepare the site for future accommodation and visitation needs in accordance with Labor’s own 2010 master plan.

“While in principle I support the uti-

lisation of Point Nepean for humani-tarian purposes, and aside from the physical accommodation infrastruc-ture, I would like to see more details of how refugees can be managed, cared for and occupied during their stay.”

The Abbott government has agreed to resettle 12,000 refugees from the Syrian confl ict in Australia in addition to 13,750 asylum seekers accepted into the country each year.

The federal government is also pro-viding an extra $44 million to help more than 240,000 people in camps displaced by the Syrian confl ict with food, clothing and shelter as winter ap-proaches.

“This will take the total Australian government contribution – humanitar-ian contribution – to people on the bor-ders of Syria and Iraq under the former government and under this government to some $230 million,” Mr Hunt said.

Mr Billson hoped the decision to permanently resettle 12,000 Syrian asylum seekers means “they can make a real go of their new life in Australia”.

“It’s a very generous, warm-hearted but clear thinking response,” he said.

Talk on refugees

SECONDARY students and primary pupils from throughout the Morn-ington Peninsula took a break from their normal classrooms on Thurs-day to discuss ways of solving the world’s environmental problems.

More than 250 students and pupils from 11 schools and colleges were at Point Nepean National Park as part of the national Kids Teaching Kids Week.

Around Australia the week sees 55,000 students putting the environ-ment and its challenges under the microscope.

In the months leading up to their Point Nepean visit students prepared by making presentations on the di-lemmas and solutions to such issues as conserving fossil fuels, protecting endangered marine and terrestrial wildlife, creative recycling, water-ways care and climate change.

While at Point Nepean they shared their knowledge through craft, quizzes, experiments, story telling, music and games.

They were also given an insight into Aboriginal culture and its historical connection with Point Nepean.

“Kids Teaching Kids inspires our local students to want to know

more. It promotes a very tangi-ble link for kids with their local environment, helping the next generation of leaders understand how global issues impact special places like our national park,” Parks Victoria’s district manager for South East Melbourne, Libby Jude said. “We’ve seen dynamic com-munity partnerships and mentoring programs emerge in the lead up to Kids Teaching Kids like the Friends of Hooded Plovers partnering with eager young environmentalists from The Peninsula School.”

Ms Jude said the students had raised $3000 to help the Friends of Hooded Plovers buy iPads to monitor the birds and access live breeding and population data.

“Through mentoring, we’ve con-nected the dots with the community and our national parks, and raised awareness of how hooded plovers are threatened,” Lois Greene from the Friends of Hooded Plovers said.

Ms Jude said it was “both reas-suring and refreshing to hear the passion and wisdom of our young visitors … and to know that the legacy of protecting our special places will live on through the next generation”.

THE popular Girls’ Night In event is one way of raising money for breast cancer research each October, but what about a night at the circus?

“Mornington Peninsula Girls Night In with Kay, Chris and Effi e” – now in its eighth year – has raised more than $100,000 for cancer research,” Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb said.

“This year, for the fi rst time, the team adds the special Night at the Circus event to help raise even more for local breast cancer groups.”

The Mayoral Charity Night: A Night at the Circus will be at the Civic Reserve, Dunns Rd, Mornington, 7pm, Thursday 24 September. Funds raised on the night will go to peninsula breast cancer groups.

“I extend my sincere thanks to Zirka Circus for its generous contribution and encourage our community to support events this October that are raising funds for cancer research,” Cr Colomb said.

COMPLAINTS about delays and cost increases may lead to a postponement of the implementa-tion of new rules for building in fl ood prone areas of the Mornington Peninsula.

Councillors were told in June that new fl ood maps were an improvement and that 20,000 prop-erties were no longer designated as fl ood-prone and more could be removed from that designation as work proceeded.

However, an “experienced builder on the south-ern peninsula” has now told council offi cers that the new fl ood map system “instantly stopped $2 million worth of my work, frustrated me and my customers and had a net result of costing my busi-ness approximately $100,000”.

“Great! All for no good reason. The system was not broken,” he said.

Other points made by the builder included: “I have been building on the southern penin-

sula for 40 years and have built several hundred houses and have not had one project fl ood or even look like fl ooding.” He had never seen a building site fl ood in Rye, Blairgowrie or Sorrento. “I have discussed this with every other build-

er, draughtsman and building surveyor I know in the area and are all of the same opinion.”

He had seen the fl ood maps that were presented at a Nepean building permits information night. “I looked at specifi c areas, in particular the sand dunes at the back of Blairgowrie, which are very elevated and could not possibly fl ood as it is all loose sand.

“I pointed this out to [municipal building sur-veyor] David Kotsiakos and he answered, ‘But there is limestone under there and the water doesn’t go down and it can fl ood’.

“I suggest he has no understanding of what ac-tually happens in this area and has made assump-tions on data that is irrelevant.” “Whatever the shire was doing prior to Feb-

ruary this year seems to be adequate to identify the very rare problem areas that may exist. How-ever, the shire has seen fi t to adopt a response process for a so-called problem manifested by the information that has been taken as fact but is not.

“I suggest anyone who does not believe this should dig a hole anywhere in Blairgowrie and try and fi ll it up with water.” It was unbelievable, the builder said, “that

we have to pay $50 to fi nd out if we should apply to pay $250 to then receive a report. If deemed necessary this system could be, just pay the $250 and send back $200 if not required.”

The new maps were “state of the art” as a result of mapping and weather modelling. They aimed to set fl oor heights for new buildings, to keep them above predicted fl ood levels.

Cr Graham Pittock told the June meeting: “Building [work] is being severely hampered. The problem is that land is not properly desig-nated and builders can’t be sure [of getting fl oor levels correct] in fl ood-prone areas.”

Cr Tim Wood added: “On a lighter note, if you look at that mapping of the Mornington Peninsula as being fl ood-prone, we’re in a worse state than the Netherlands.” Mr Kotsiakos replied: “For a different reason, yes.”

Flood maps blamed for $2m work lossDavid [email protected]

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors are being urged to pressure the federal government into giving East Timor the chance to earn billions of dollars from undersea gas fi elds.

“It is disgusting for a wealthy ad-vanced country like Australia to liter-ally steal part of a rich gas fi eld from one of the poorest, least developed and needy nations on earth”, Cr Tim Rodg-ers said.

On Monday Cr Rodgers was set to tell council colleagues that it was time Australia entered into a more equitable agreement so that East Timor (Timor-Leste) received a greater share of prof-

its from the rich offshore gas fi elds.“We are calling on the Australian

government to immediately start ne-gotiations on setting fair permanent maritime boundaries with Timor-Leste and to re-submit to the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea,” he said.

The shire has a friendship relation-ship with the Timor-Leste district of Lospalos.

The gas fi eld issue has festered for years, with the Australian govern-ment having effectively repudiated international rules dealing with seabed boundaries some 13 years ago. It has since refused to negotiate permanent boundaries.

A scandal erupted in 2013 when Ti-

mor-Leste accused Australia of having planted listening devices in its cabinet offi ce to eavesdrop on confi dential Ti-mor Sea Treaty discussions.

It launched a case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague to pull out of a gas treaty it had signed with Australia.

In March 2014, the International Court of Justice ordered Australia to stop the spying.

A report to councillors at Monday night’s meeting said: “If these [seabed] boundaries were set in accordance with International Law, the signifi cant fi elds of gas located outside the treaty zone of co-operation would belong to Timor-Leste as part of its exclusive economic zone.

“If so, one such fi eld – the Greater

Sunrise Field – located just 150 kilo-metres from Timor’s shore, may gener-ate some $40 billion for Timor-Leste.

“Yet another such fi eld – Laminaria Corallina – has yielded $2 billion in taxes and royalties for Australia since 1999, all of which would fl ow to Ti-mor-Leste if the maritime boundaries were set in accordance with Interna-tional Law.”

Cr Rodgers, a strong supporter of Timor-Leste and sponsor of the mo-tion put to council, said: “All this poor, struggling nation’s problems of health, education and infrastructure would be solved” were Australia to cede it a fair share of the hydrocarbon wealth locked in the fi elds.

The report to council backs this: “Even a minor adjustment of these

maritime boundaries in accordance with International Law would shift billions of dollars of potential revenue from Australia to Timor-Leste.

“Yet Australia refuses to negotiate a permanent maritime boundary with Timor-Leste placing in jeopardy its legacy in, and friendship with, Timor-Leste.”

Cr Rodgers said 22 of Victoria’s 79 councils – nearly 30 per cent – had friendship relationships with Timor-Leste.

He said the nation’s “excellent cof-fee” can be bought from any shire of-fi ce, he said, and Timor-Leste arts and craft were often on sale through the shire.

Selective memoriesI get quite amused when conservatives write in to "can" the Rudd and, in particular, the Gillard governments. They tend to remember the insta-bility and go into denial of the GFC.

What I remember, is the seditious actions and remarks by one Tony Abbott and Alan Jones. "Ditch the witch" and the suggestion that our fi rst woman prime minister be "shot, put in a hessian bag, and tossed into the ocean" come to mind.

Australia was the envy of the world thanks to a treasurer who knew what he was doing (unlike Smokin' Joe). The school hall program, along with the pink batt scheme, was brilliant for creating employment marred by some unscru-pulous tradies who thought only of the fast buck to be had.

Wayne Swan was recognised for his ability to keep us out of the fi nancial mire and was awarded a medal as "Euro Finance Minister of the year". Paul Keating, another Labor treasurer, is the only other Australian to gain that recognition.

Not bad for a party that apparently can't be trusted with the fi nances. Conservatives, led by a prime minister that thinks climate change is crap and ably supported by Greg Hunt, who is laughingly referred to as the MInister for the En-vironment, seems to prefer to ignore the fact that other people will have to survive the greenhouse effect after we are well and truly dead.

I would sooner my descendants live in a clean, smog-free future under Labor than a polluted environment that Abbott prefers. God only knows what sort of a priest Abbott would have made. John Cain, McCrae

Wetlands at riskIt’s with incredible disappointment and dismay that we read of a new submission to build a 99-home retirement village on the Tootgarook wetlands.

These wetlands are home to over 150 bird species, nine endangered ecological vegetation communities and 14 threatened fauna species. The area is now reduced to near half its original

size; it’s listed for Ramsar consideration and is partly subject to protection under the national EPBC act.

The EPBC act requires our member for Flinders, Environment Minister Greg Hunt, to consider environmental impacts.

Only four per cent of wetlands remain in Victoria and this development typifi es the ex-ploitation of high value environmental areas for commercial gain.

The applicant listed as Lifestyle Communi-ties is a publicly listed company specialising in retirement villages. Its charter lists “adherence to environmental standards, to operate ethically and in a socially responsible way”. We question the boards’ decision against its own corporate governance charter.

Given the possible destructive nature of this village on the wetlands, we implore the board reconsider its decision and relocate the develop-ment to a more appropriate location in accord-ance with their charter directive and responsibil-ity to its shareholders.

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Peaceful protestAs a person who resides in [Environment Minister] Greg Hunt's electorate and who cares about the future of the Great Barrier Reef, I am at a loss to understand how his staff could be upset and intimidated by coal protesters at last Thursday's demonstration.

The action was peaceful (as are all GetUp initiated actions) and those present expected representation from Mr Hunt's offi ce to at least acknowledge our concerns in regard to Adani coal mining in such a precious and sensitive area.

When staff were unwilling or unable to come outside, a very small delegation entered the premise. A few children carrying animal shaped balloons with attached post cards were welcomed but a crate of coal seemed to be the reason for their fears.

The staff should be more concerned about the pollution of mining by Adani in Queensland rather than the effects of pollution from a crate of coal taken into, and removed, from their offi ce.

Get a grip. Organsations like GetUp and peaceful actions allow the multitude of con-cerned citizens to voice their concerns when government acts in ways that endanger us all.

Mel Farnbach, Balnarring

Toxic mix for reefI was at the GetUp action last week in front of {Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s electoral offi ce and I have to say that his offi ce-staff were not working in his best interest when they refused to take our message of bitter disappointment with his handling of the environment portfolio. The simple message was that you can’t have a healthy reef and a dirty great coalmine and coal port opposite the reef.

Is it any wonder that his offi ce people feel a little beleaguered because many of his decisions on environmental matters are putting them in the position of lightning rods for public displeasure? I believe that if Mr Hunt and his department had done their jobs properly, in regards to the [Adani] coalmine, the environment movement would not have been pushed to go to the Federal Court to fi ght for a reassessment of his approval for the mine.

It is not a good message we get from this Ab-bott government that, if the heat gets too much, just change the laws of accountability and keep the people out of the loop of decision making and asking awkward questions.

Australia is not a dictatorship, but on the way to become one if the government keeps up this slow and incremental destruction of our right to know and ask why. The scary thing is that the Labor opposition is letting the government get away with it.

THE Balnarring Freemasons Lodge has given $5000 to help Western Port Community Centre to help families through short term crises.

The lodge’s master Ron Harrison handed over a cheque to the centre’s Alison Smyrk on Friday 11 September during its monthly meeting at Balnarring Hall.

The community centre at Hastings, is a not for profi t service essentially offering emergency relief

and support for those who fi nd themselves in short term crisis.

Mornington Peninsula Shire provides the centre’s premises and is a major source of income. Funding for emergency relief comes from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, supplemented by donations from philanthropic trusts, churches, businesses and chari-table organisations, such as the Balnarring Lodge.

The centre helps marginalised individuals and families with food parcels, food vouchers, emer-gency accommodation, pharmacy, travel and fuel vouchers and assistance with utility, rental and medical expenses.

The centre is based within the Peninsula Com-munity Health Complex, 185 High St, Hastings, call 5979 2762.

Skylift work to startWORK on the Arthurs Seat Skylift is set to begin on 5 October, according to Parks Victoria. The sites of the upper and lower stations will be fenced off to allow for tree removal and excavation.

Parks Victoria’s Libby Jude has said the public will be notifi ed of the works, and of alternative picnic areas, in through newspaper advertisements in coming weeks.

Ms Jude, district manager for south-east Melbourne, says school bus pick-ups and drop-offs will be relocated at Seawinds Gardens car park near the public lavatories for the construction period of up to 18 months.

This is more than a kilometre from the existing bus stop. Many parents are said to be unhappy with the loca-tion, which will mean that “kids who walk home from the bus stop will now have to traverse a lonely trail back to the summit”, according to one parent.

She said parents had not been con-sulted on the matter. The Seawinds location was decided after meetings between Mornington Peninsula Shire, Parks Victoria and the school bus group.

“The message is clear,” the par-ent said. “They may have permission to do what you want in the park, but don’t mess with our kids.”

REHABILITATION HOSPITALHEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS


By Stuart McCulloughLOVE. According to Frank Sinatra (and he should know), it’s a many splendoured thing. It can be simple and it can be complicated. It’s both all you need and changes everything. It is, quite frankly, a big deal. Once upon a time, fi nding that special someone re-lied on the ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ model of courtship. As noted in the musical ‘South Pacifi c’, this involved clapping eyes on a complete stranger across a crowded room and knowing in an instant that this was the person with whom you would spend, if not the rest of your life, then the rest of the musical with.

But life is too seldom like a Rogers and Hammerstein musical. Spotting someone across a crowded room at the Dava on the Friday night as Andrew Hosking and Coupe De Ville gently serenaded you with a rendition of ‘Am I Ever Going to See Your Face Again?’ was always easier in theory than in practice. Noticing someone staring at you from the other side of a room was never really grounds for falling in love so much as it was for getting an inter-vention order. Now if things weren’t complicated enough, the whole en-deavor has gone digital.

South Pacifi c would have been a much shorter musical if Tinder had been available. For those who don’t know, Tinder is an application that enables mutually interested people to get in contact with each other. Put an-other way, it’s a dating app. Granted, it’s probably more effi cient to fi nd people through your mobile phone rather than to rely on fate to throw you together whilst stationed on a remote

island during World War Two, but it’s also far less entertaining. I very much doubt that had they been dependant on Tinder that Nellie Forbrush would ever have swiped her approval of mid-dle-aged plantation owner Emile de Becque. Besides, Emile had a bunch of children which, in on-line dating

terms, is considered serious baggage.I doubt the ‘Some Enchanted Even-

ing’ model of courtship would work for Patrick the Hairy-Nosed Wombat. It’s hard to spot your true love across a crowded room when you’re only two feet tall. All you’d see is kneecaps. Perhaps it’s for that reason Patrick

has turned to Tinder for help. Granted, signing a marsupial up to a dating ap-plication sounds a little far fetched. Presumably his handlers thought the idea of an Ashley Madison profi le was ridiculous.

There’s an obvious problem, though. The way Tinder works is that you ‘swipe’ to the right to indicate that you like someone’s profi le. That’s not easy when you’re a quadruped. Given that you have to be holding a mobile phone when said swiping occurs, it’s downright impossible if you are with-out opposable thumbs. Frankly, it’s kind of cruel to subject poor Patrick to the travails of Tinder. He’s practically defenceless.

But this is not his fi rst foray into the world of modern technology. Patrick also has a Facebook page and tens of thousands of followers. This is both quietly impressive and faintly depress-ing. His page describes him as a ‘pub-lic fi gure’. Not content with a Face-book page, he has a website too from which you can purchase all manner of Patrick paraphernalia – caps, t-shirts, mugs and fridge magnets. Sadly, un-like Britney and Beyonce, Patrick does not have a personalized cologne to offer. There used to be a band called ‘Combat Wombat’, but it may be un-related. Pity.

As for the reasons for getting onto Tinder, turns out it was prompted by a birthday. And not just any birth-day either, but the big ‘30’. Turning thirty has seen him turn his thoughts to settling down and building a little burrow for two. But while thirty is still pretty young generally speaking, it’s really getting on if you’re a hairy

nosed wombat. Apparently, they have a life expectancy of up to twenty years in captivity and even less in the wild. In fact, his Facebook page describes him as the oldest living wombat in the world. This changes everything.

I’m not sure it’s appropriate to cast a geriatric wombat into the world of on-line dating. It’s too easy to see how things could go wrong for everyone. Potential dates won’t just be swip-ing to ‘like’ any old wombat but the Methuselah of the marsupial world. They’ll want to go out dancing, and he’ll be keen to go home and watch ‘A Touch of Frost’ before a warm milk and an early night. I am seriously con-cerned that the whole thing’s doomed to fail.

None of this would be happen-ing if ‘Perfect Match’ was still on air. Dexter the Robot would have the whole thing sorted in seconds. These days, all we have is ‘The Bachelor’. Frankly, replacing the eponymous bachelor with a hairy nosed wombat of advanced years would be a sub-stantial improvement. Forget handing out a rose at some contrived ceremony fi lmed through a Vaseline-smeared lens. I long for a television experi-ence in which millions of people tune in to see single ladies in ball gowns express their disappointment that the bachelor, instead of handing out roses has, in fact, eaten them. Dressed in a tux, Patrick would waddle through the crowded room before stopping in front of his preferred contestant and break-ing into a version of ‘Some Enchanted Evening’. That’s what I call romantic.

Peninsula mum wins mumpreneur awardPeninsula mum wins mumpreneur awardKELLY McDonald from Frankston south, owner/artist at Garden Babies Fine Fairy Art has been named St George Banking Group Aus-Mumpreneur Service Business Award winner.

The awards were held in Melbourne where talented mums from all over the country gath-ered to support and encourage other Australian mumpreneurs.

Kelly, a mother of two, was presented with the award by naming sponsor St George Bank’s Head of SME Stuart Zalunardo for Garden Babies Photography where the focus is as much on a magical experience for the children as well as amazing pieces of portrait art.

Kelly said she was thrilled to win her category in the 2015 St George Banking Group Aus-Mumpreneur Awards against such a talented bunch of women.

“I am truly humbled to take home this award and represent such amazing mums in business. I started my business less than a year ago, and it’s so rewarding to be recognised for my hard work and determination.

“I’m so proud of my business and the sup-port I have received from my husband, clients, friends, family and the community has been overwhelming. I was also moved by the passion and drive of so many women I met over the week-end and it’s really empowering to know that mums in business are being recognised for their achieve-ment.”

St. George Bank is keen to sup-port Australian entrepreneurs like Kelly McDonald and her fellow AusMumpreneur Award winners, Stuart Zalunardo said.

“The awards are all about rec-ognising the growing number of mums who are achieving outstand-ing business success while balanc-ing motherhood.”

“I was blown away by the entrepreneurial spirit of the award winners and am very confi dent that they will provide great inspira-tion for other mums considering starting their own business,” Stuart said.

This is the sixth year the Aus-Mumpreneur Awards have run, with the business mum community growing at lightning speed as mothers look at opportunities to join the ranks of small business owners.

AusMumpreneur Network owners Peace Mitchell and Katy Garner said the awards show the

passion of women who want to fulfi l their entre-preneurial dreams as well as be great mums.

“The number of women starting businesses has tripled in the last 12 months. Of the 668,670 women operating a small business in Australia currently, a total of 47 per cent are mums with children at home.

“We are thrilled to be the number one com-munity for mumpreneurs and showcasing the best and the brightest each year through these awards and inspiring other women to follow their dreams too.

“With the support of our partner St George Banking Group and the Federal Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson, we are reaching new milestones every year to help Australian Mums achieve their business dreams.

“We are delighted that Kelly has won this award, she has an outstanding business and is an inspirational role model and ambassador for mums in business everywhere. We wish her and all our amazing Ausmumpreneurs every success in the coming year,” said Peace.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt SOMERVILLE will play Rosebud in the Nepean League grand fi nal this Saturday at Frankston Park after bouncing back and beating Sorrento in the Preliminary Final.

The Eagles led all afternoon and fi nished strongly, booting 3.6 to 1.1 in the last quar-ter to record an 18-point victory, 11.22 (88) to 10.10 (70).

It was the end of an era for Sorrento. The most powerful team of the past decade failed in its attempt to play in its eighth grand fi nal in a row.

Sorrento also said goodbye to coach Troy Schwarze, who retired at the end of the game according to club president Gary Woodhams. It was the worst kept secret in local footy that Schwarze wouldn’t be at the helm next season.

Regardless, Schwarze led from the front and collected 19 possessions in his fi nal game with the red and white.

Somerville came out and played with an intent and urgency that had been missing in previous weeks.

Despite beating Sorrento two weeks ago in the Qualifying Final, the Eagles looked fl at on that occasion and again last week against Rosebud.

However, on Saturday, the Eagles were up and about.

The interesting thing in the Preliminary Final was always going to be about how the Eagles would respond from its trouncing last week (albeit it was only 16 points on the scoreboard).

Its prime movers were well beaten against Rosebud and a few of the big name players failed to fi re a shot.

There is no question that they were all keen to prove a point.

Tommy Shaw was super across four quarters and fi nished the afternoon with three goals. He worked tirelessly around the ground and also spent some time through the middle, which freed him up.

Scott Simpson rose to the challenge and proved that he could use his superior ability to dominate a game. Simpson was sensa-tional in the air, his tackling was a feature and it was great to see him spend time through the middle of the ground also.

Rowan Hogenbirk didn’t start the game overly well, collecting just two touches in the fi rst quarter, however, he willed himself to get into the game and responded with eight touches in the second quarter and 22

for the match. He was the most infl uential player on the ground.

Tim McGenniss was also incredibly in-fl uential, especially in the second and third quarters where he collected 16 possessions. He fi nished with 24 for the match.

Josh Westerman was a nuisance again and was fantastic as a run with player, while Adrian Speedy had 20 touches too and his drive from half back and through the middle gave his forwards every opportunity.

In defence, the Eagles were rock solid. Without Kane McKenzie, Todd Farrelly shouldered much of the responsibility and kept Myles Pitt goalless.

Ben Sedgewick was also very good for the Eagles in the back half, as was Luke Collie and Jake Wilson, who both beat their opponents.

Justin Farrelly broke even with Sorrento’s Jon Croad in the ruck, which was a great comeback from the skipper after being beaten in the past couple of weeks.

Travis Bravo took a screamer for the sec-ond week on the trot and booted two goals.

Players such as Jedd Sutton and Justin Allsop, who were less than ordinary the week before, worked tirelessly on Saturday.

The Eagles came to play and as has been said all season, their best is better than any other team.

Sorrento was far from disgraced.Luke Tapscott was superb with three

goals and 24 possessions, Leigh Treeby wasn’t damaging but had 20 touches after a long lay-off and James Hallahan had 18 possessions.

Myles Poholke and James Brigden are the future of this footy club and their games on Saturday were outstanding.

The Eagles had 33 scoring shots from its 47 inside 50m entries on Saturday. The Sharks had 20 scoring shots from 42 entries. The game was won and lost right there. The Eagles defence was rock solid.

Somerville simply has to bring that same aggression, steely determination and run and carry into this weekend’s Grand Final at Frankston Park.

The best two sides are playing in the Grand Final.

In the reserves, Devon Meadows beat Rosebud in the Preliminary Final on Satur-day and will play Somerville in the Grand Final.

In the Under 19s, Rosebud will play Dromana after the Tigers easily accounted for Somerville in the early game.

THE Petersville Regatta is returning to the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron sailing calendar. This family, friendly and relaxed regatta is set to be reinstated as the Club’s fl agship annual event.

Back by popular demand, the Petersville Regatta will attract a competitive group of keel and cruising boats from across the peninsula, Victoria and Australia.

Participants will enjoy the return of this family, friendly and social regatta. The Petersville Regatta is held in high regard by yachting enthusiasts from Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron and beyond and is considered a nostalgic and historic event.

The original regatta was held between 1981 – 1990 before the race was combined with Geelong Week. Successful boats that featured in the historic race include Shambles and Dry Reach skippered by R. Hick and subsequently G. Matthews, both of whom were the most successful boat competitors during the history of the event.

This year the Petersville

Regatta will follow the annual ORCV Boxing Day Dash and will coincide with the expansion of the Blairgowrie marina and the opening of the new clubhouse.

Racing will take place over three consecutive days with a mix of long and short races, a twilight race and associated social functions.

Located on Victoria’s southern Mornington Peninsula, Blairgowrie is one of Victoria’s leading holiday destinations, only a 75 – 90 minute drive from Melbourne. Adjacent to Sorrento and Portsea, Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron is one of the area’s most famous landmarks, with a distinctive pier and marina and stunning bayside location.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW advanced straight through to the Peninsula League Grand Final in a fortnight after holding off a fast fi nishing Mt Eliza on Saturday at Frankston Park.

The Stonecats were outscored six goals to seven after quarter time, however, still ran out comfortable 22-point winners, 11.13 (79) to 8.9 (57).

As is often the case at the Kars St oval, the wind was storming off Port Phillip Bay and charging towards the Kars St end – the end Frankston YCW kicked to in the opening quar-ter.

The Stonecats took advantage of the conditions, booting fi ve goals to one in the fi rst 30 minutes and open-ing-up a 23-point break. It was a lead that they were never to relinquish.

Luke Collins and Scott Macleod (two goals) provided enormous drive through the middle of the ground, Anthony Bruhn made it 11 goals in two fi nals with four against the Redlegs and Byron Barry and Daniel Waddell controlled things in the back half of the ground.

Waddell needed to stop Justin Van Unen to help his team advance to the grand fi nal and he was able to achieve that, restricting the century goal kicker to just two majors.

Craig Nankervis was again at his best, winning his own footy and set-ting the standards for the rest of the team.

Mt Eliza were always going to come back with the aid of the breeze, however, they weren’t able to hit the scoreboard as often as they would have liked in the second term.

Despite getting enormous drive from the back half of the ground, especially through Karl Lombardoz-zi, Sam Gill and Darren Booth, the Redlegs really felt down across half forward.

Dave Barton and Jimmy Clayton did all they could through the mid-dle, however, outside of Van Unen,

the Redlegs just didn’t look danger-ous.

Ben Lean hit the scoreboard with a couple of majors but the likes of Tim Strickland didn’t have an impact on the scoreboard.

The Redlegs need to fi nd other av-enues to goal.

The Stonecats went into the game without VFL-listed players Anthony Barry and Lachlan Wallace. Depend-ing on how deep the Western Bull-dogs and Collingwood reserves go into the fi nals will depend on wheth-er they are available for the Penin-sula Grand Final.

Mt Eliza will play Mornington in the Preliminary Final after the Dog-gies knocked Edithvale-Aspendale out of the fi nals race on Sunday in the First Semi Final.

After conceding four of the fi rst fi ve goals of the game, the Dogs kicked 17 of the next 23 goals to run-out comfortable 18.8 (116) to 10.10 (70) winners.

The Doggies needed a shot in the arm after the fi rst 15 minutes and came in the form of man mountain Michael Gay, who dominated in the ruck.

Mornington’s bookends were su-perb also. Jackson Calder booted six goals for the winners and at the other end, Adam Symes blanketed the Edi-Asp forwards.

James Cameron was also superb for the Dogs, collecting more than 20 possessions and kicking three goals, while Joel Miller and Ben Wells were dominating by the fi nal siren.

Jai Haddock provided plenty of run and drive from the defensive end and Jake Smart worked hard in the front half.

The Eagles had few winners. Brett O’Hanlon was tireless, Stevey Mannix was his team’s best, his big brother Tim tried hard also, while Brad Tagg, Mark Mullins, Matty Clark and Tim Mavric were also hard working.

A BIG crowd turned out on 5 - 6 September for the second running of the Mornington Running Festival, incorporating the Mornington Health & Lifestyle Expo.

Over 1300 participated in the run and over 5000 people visited the Health and Lifestyle Expo over the weekend.

In it’s fi rst year last year, the event saw just over 400 competitors par-ticipate. In just 12 months, the event has grown three-fold, with runners participating over four race distances.

“It was a huge effort, and fantastic to see a boutique local event receiv-ing so much support from the local community as well as the running, triathlon and fi tness communities”, said spokesperson Scott Hollow.

“There was over $10000 raised for our charity partner Beyondblue.”

The 21.1 kilometre half marathon was won by Serena Wooldridge in the female division (time 1:32:05) and Shane Grund in the male division (time 1:17:38).

The ten kilometre fun run/walk

was won by Carly Burmeister in the female division (time 40:36) and Paul Marchant in the male division (time 34:46).

The fi ve kilometre fun run/walk was won by Susie Wilson in the female division (time 19:17) and Troy Page in the male division (time 17:28).

Local real estate agent Nicholas Lynch Real Estate were the winners in the team challenge with 97 points.

“Events such as these cannot go ahead without the fantastic support

of volunteers, friends and families providing their time, support and cheers,” said Mr Hollow.

“We would like to thank all the individual volunteers, but a special thanks goes from the 2nd Mornington Scout Group that provided around 60 volunteers.

“Also big thanks to our partners GME, Nicholas Lynch Real Estate, Raw Travel, The Private Sea, Fresh-water Catering.”

Entries are now open for the 4 - 5 September 2016 for third running of

Mornington Running Festival and Health & Lifestyle Expo.

The weekend festival will include a one kilometre kids dash, fi ve and ten kilometre fun run/walk and the popu-lar half marathon 21.1km distance.

The Health and Lifestyle Expo will also back bigger and better including exhibitors, seminars, workshops and games for the whole family.

“Join us next year and help us raise more money for our charity partner beyondblue,” said Mr Hollow.
