THIEVES stole up to $300,000 worth of gold chains, watches, coins, rings and bangles from the Red Hill Greek Orthodox Church on Wednesday after-noon.

An iconic framed image of the Vir-gin Mary was left behind.

The robbery occurred when The Reverend Father Eleftherios Tatsis was farewelling visitors at the church’s front gate. The thieves are believed to have entered a side door and broken a sealed glass box to steal the items.

Detective Senior Sergeant John Co-burn, of Rosebud crime investigation unit, said police were appealing for public assistance to retrieve the items which had been donated to the church, on Arthurs Seat Rd, over the past 30 years.

A church spokeswoman, Geor-gie Marinis, described the thefts as “shocking”.

“We never thought anyone would take anything,” she said. “Now I am trying to put something back on the Virgin so people coming to the church on Sunday won’t feel as bad as we do now.”

The icon had been adorned by jewel-lery collected since the church was es-tablished in 1983. A recent photograph shows it covered with chains and sur-rounded by valuable items. This has helped police establish the value of the haul.

Ms Marinis said the church’s front door was always open, but that the thieves had entered through the side door before breaking the glass display case and grabbing whatever they could.

“They must have got spooked when the Reverend Father came back in be-cause there was a trail of gold and jew-ellery leading to the door,” she said.

“We believe they must have been watching him go out – they were very quick.”

Normal police practice is to ask lo-cal pawn shops to be on the lookout for stolen items as the thieves attempt to offl oad their haul.

“If they try to resell it we will know quickly,” Ms Marinis said.

“The most shocking thing is that the thieves may be members of the con-gregation – that’s got the most ‘aggro’ around here. If it is a stranger we’d fi nd it easier to cope with.”

The richly endowed church – the Greek Orthodox Monastery of Pana-gia Kamariani (Constantinople) – has a façade of traditional byzantine stone. Also on the property are a rectory, his-toric dwelling and shedding.

Anyone with information is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confi dential report at www.crimestoppers.vic.com.au

HUNDREDS of mourners attend-ed a memorial service on Sunday for Frankie and Liam Davison, who lost their lives in the MH17 plane disaster.

Crowds fl ocked to Toorak Col-lege to pay tribute to the Mt Eliza couple. Mrs Davison, 54, was an English teacher at the school for 28 years. Husband Liam, 56, was an award-winning novelist and taught creative writing courses at Frankston’s Chisholm TAFE Insti-tute for several years until 2007.

The commercial airliner the Davisons were passengers on was downed over battle-torn east Ukraine in the early hours of Friday 19 July. A surface-to-air missile is believed to have hit the plane.

Evidence suggests Russian

backed separatists in the eastern European country thought the Ma-laysia Airlines plane was a Ukrain-ian transport craft.

Mourners including Frankie and Liam’s adult children, Milly and Sam, attended Sunday’s service at Toorak College’s upper playing fi elds.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has vowed to bring home the remains of 37 Australians who were on-board fl ight MH17.

“By its very nature, it may take some weeks before we can hon-our the dead by returning them to those they loved and those that loved them. But we will bring them home,” Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said.

Toorak College released a state-ment from the Davison family: “Liam and Frankie’s family have been extremely touched by the

love and support received over the past week. In 2011 Frankie and Liam visited The Annapurna Self-Sustaining Orphan Home in Pokhara, Nepal, where they were both touched by the incredible work being done there.”

Mr and Mrs Davison supported the orphanage, which relies on do-nations, after their visit.

The family has asked wellwish-ers to donate money to the Nepal orphanage instead of fl owers.

Donations can be made to: Ame-lia Davison Annapurna Orphan-age, BSB: 063 550, Account: 1036 2702 at bank branches or via online funds transfer.

Galactic quest: Jessica Martini is representing Australia in the international Miss Galaxy quest in the US. Picture: Brett Earl

Galaxy queen takes on worldGalaxy queen takes on worldMISS Galaxy Australia title holder Jessica Martini is all set to jet off to the United States next weekend to com-pete for the international Miss Galaxy crown.

The 26-year-old Hastings resident, who represented the Mornington Pen-insula when she won the Miss Galaxy Australia crown on the Gold Coast earlier this year, will compete against national winners from across the globe in Orlando, Florida, from 2-12 August for the prestigious international beauty pageant crown.

In the lead-up to the international fi nal, Ms Martini said she had been working hard to help raise funds for the competi-tion’s chosen Australian charities, Make a Wish Foundation and Australia Zoo’s Wildlife Warriors program.

She has also be appointed an ambas-sador for the Cancer Council’s Pink

Ribbon Day and Girl’s Night In, a role she plans to continue upon her return to Australia, whether she wins or loses her international quest.

“Being an ambassador for Pink Rib-bon Day is something I set out to do before I was even crowned,” she said.

“My family has a long history of breast cancer and I wanted to use my title for a purpose. So im very proud of this ambassador role.

“I have numerous events planned for when I return from the USA, regard-less of the outcome over there, and I’ve even been asked to help host the Main St Mornington Festival later this year.”

A 10-year permit extension is be-ing sought for the abandoned Pioneer quarry in Dromana following refusal last November for it to be converted to a municipal tip.

It would be the second extension sought for the quarry by its current owner, the Ross Trust. It is believed little or no granite has been extracted from it since 1993, when Pioneer Quarries sold it to the trust-owned Hillview Quarries. Pioneer considered the site mined out.

The Ross Trust, which owns the Pioneer quarry via Hillview, states in a letter to Mornington Peninsula Shire that it wants the permit extension “to enable the company to utilise the site for uses permitted by the permit and to assess future plans for the site”.

The letter, dated 20 March this year, tells shire statutory planning manager Angela Hughes, that it intends to reha-bilitate the site and states it has already done substantial work to that end.

However, “given the signifi cant re-habilitation costs associated with the use of the site, Hillview Quarries seeks the opportunity to gain further eco-nomic benefi t from the site prior to un-dertaking the fi nal reclamation works.

“Any failure to extend the permit would pose a signifi cant burden on Hillview Quarries due to the rehabili-tation obligations estimated to cost in excess of $500,000.”

While not being specifi c about what

“economic benefi t” it seeks to get from the site, its letter states that the shire's planning scheme allows “use and de-velopment of land for stone extrac-tion”.

The Ross Trust's application to con-vert the Pioneer site into a tip created huge controversy last year, culminat-ing in refusal by the Environment Pro-tection Authority to allow the proposal on a number of grounds, including concerns about groundwater pollution, threat of bushfi res, odour, dust and weeds.

These and other community con-cerns prompted formation of the Pen-insula Preservation Group, which led the public campaign against the tip proposal.

PPG was headed by Dr Mark Fancett, now a candidate in the Red Hill ward byelection. He has accused the shire of a “disturbing cover-up” in handling the permit extension application.

“I am concerned that the council has had [the letter of application] for four months and was not intending to notify neighbours of the application or ask for submissions,” he said.

“Considering the obvious commu-nity interest in the site it would have seemed appropriate to do so. My concern is that this application would have passed through the planning de-partment and [been approved] by our council.”

Dr Fancett said Hillview Quarries got a quarrying licence for the old Pio-neer quarry in 1994. It contained an extensive rehabilitation clause to be

activated when mining ceased.“They did not undertake any quar-

rying in the next fi ve years,” he said. “They applied for a 15-year exten-

sion in 1998, which expired in March this year. They did not undertake any quarrying in that period.

“They claim [in the letter to the shire] that they have been rehabilitat-ing the site,” including weed removal, planting and “bench remediation” – stabilising rock platforms in the quarry.

“I have been visiting the site for over 20 years and none of this has occurred. In fact the neglect of the site has led to

a massive problem with weeds on site and escaping into the adjacent state park,” Dr Fancett said.

This is “Another example of the lack of transparency in the decisions made by our representatives”, he said.

Hillview chief executive Paul Nitas said the company had not decided on future uses for the site.

“We don't have a defi nitive answer at this stage as to what we want top do with the site. We've asked for a 10-year [per-mit] extension to evaluate that,” he said.

“Who know what's going to happen in fi ve years; who knows what's going to happen in 10 years? We want an

extension of 10 years the same as the previous extensions to enable us to de-cide what we want to do with the site.”

Was Hillview likely to reapply to use it as a tip? “They're your com-ments, not mine,” Mr Nitas said. “It’s very clear in the letter [that no deci-sion has been made].”

He stated “quite categorically” the site would not be sold to the state.

“It’s privately owned,” he said. “As we’ve often said: it’s not safe – it’s a mine site.”

Asked what other uses the site might be used for, he replied: “Use your im-agination.”

Extra time: The owners of this disused quarry in the foothills of Arthurs Seat, Dromana, are seeking an extension to their extraction permit.

Continued from Page 1The two ex-councillors campaigning for

Red Hill are Leigh Eustace, formerly of the old Mt Eliza ward and Neale Adams, who was Red Hill councillor in the early 2000s. Cr Eustace lost his place at the 2012 poll, when single-member wards were replaced by multi-member ones. Mr Adams lost to Frank Martin in Mr Adams’s 2012 bid to re-enter council.

Both would almost certainly look criti-cally at the SPA project, particularly at the foreshore site.

Retired County Court judge Tim Wood QC would, if elected, be the second law-yer and second naval offi cer on council. Cr Hugh Fraser (lawyer) and Cr David Garnock (RAN) represent Nepean and Cer-berus wards respectively.

Mr Wood still holds the rank of Commo-dore and is a consultant to the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force. He has concerns over issues such as neglect of roads and other infrastructure in the ward.

Accountant Bryan Payne, once a council CEO, was unsuccessful in the 2012 Nepean ward election, running third behind Tim Rodgers and Cr Fraser.

Microbiologist Barbara Porter could be considered a strong and well qualifi ed en-vironmentalist. She was involved in the original successful appeal to VCAT against T’Gallant’s plans to expand its restaurant and wine business on the Mornington-Flin-ders Rd. T’Gallant succeeded at its second appeal to VCAT.

As well as ex-councillors and those who have previously stood for council, Peter Holloway is widely known. A National Trust stalwart and local historian, he has been active in the community for years. His issues include close scrutiny of rate rises, the need for an effi ciency audit of the shire

and shire debt reduction.First-time candidates include Dr Mark

Fancett, part of the fi erce and successful campaign to stop the Pioneer quarry in Dromana being used as a rubbish tip. He helped compile and present a powerful case against the proposal that saw off the plan – overwhelmingly rejected by the Environ-ment Protection Authority. The quarry is in Red Hill ward.

Of the others, Canadian Shawn Jackson, who runs a B&B in Red Hill has put his hand up because he is unhappy about how shire decisions affect his local community. Michael Treadwell, 27, has a degree in planning and environment and Rose Lju-bicic is a Greens candidate for Preston in the November state election.

Kerry Watson, secretary of Red Hill Community Action, is one of the pro-envi-ronment candidates – a contrast to Alastair Young, a builder/developer who calculates the shire has 465 green wedge lots that could have a house built on them.

Brian Morgan is a cricket umpire and bridge player not opposed to a foreshore pool; Kate Roper and Kylie Greer are pro-environment, Ms Greer having a special interest in placing curbs on the proposed Arthurs Seat Skylift.

Leigh Coleman has been aiming to de-velop his property at 1a and 1b Jetty Rd but is rumoured to be ready to sell the property; Darren Andrew of Safety Beach is an elec-trician who is also unhappy about how the shire is being run.

A fi nal point: for those to whom this is a concern, eight candidates live outside the ward. This writer believes that, in the era of mobile phones and motor cars, this is not a substantial factor. It has not deterred vot-ers in Cerberus and Seawinds wards from electing Cr Garnock (Mt Eliza resident) and Cr Gibb (Dromana farmer).

THE state government has thrown a lifeline to the Gunnamatta Surf Life Saving Club, above.

A $100,000 grant will be used to replace the south wall of the clubhouse and maintain its structural integrity, said MP for Nepean Martin Dixon.

Some of the money awarded under the Victo-

rian Emergency Services Equipment Program will also0 be used to buy extra equipment in the lead-up to the patrol season.

Meanwhile, Parks Victoria has temporar-ily closed the stairs leading to the Gunnamatta beach for public safety following storm damage and is waiting advice on an insurance claim.

Lifeline for lifesaversLifeline for lifesavers

A NEW gate that can only be opened using a se-curity will be installed at the Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre in Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud.

Crime Prevention Minister Edward O’Donohue said clients and workers at the centre had been “subjected to threatening and offensive behaviour by people who shouldn’t be there in the fi rst place”.

Mr O’Donohue was at the centre last week

to announce a $9000 state government grant to improve security at the centre.

“The security upgrade will help protect the residents who use the services, many of whom are vulnerable, and ensure the facilities are available for all the community to safely use,” he said.

MP for Nepean Martin Dixon said the project was one of 166 community “safety initiatives” sharing $1million in the latest round of the Com-munity Safety Fund grants.

100% of your fi re levy goes to our fi re servicesLast year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the

Victorian Bushfi res Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fi re services,

not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession.

100 per cent of the fi re levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and

Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes fi refi ghters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective

clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fi re stations and 2,300 trucks.

Each year, Victoria’s fi refi ghters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and

grass fi res, fi res in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fi re levy.

SPA at no shire costSPA at no shire costGreat news, a baths, geothermal and hot springs at Point Nepean (‘State backs point develop-ment’, The News 22/7/14), well above any climate change sea level rise, with lovely views, and all at no cost to Mornington Peninsula Shire, which will help with the shire debt.

Keith Murley, Blaigowrie

Embarrassing?Embarrassing?It must have been embarrassing for Cr David Gibb to have a Nepean ward councillor request Mornington Peninsula Shire offi cers on behalf of Cr Graham Pittock to prepare a report on an incident (fl ooding in the Murray-Anderson and Point Nepean roads area) that was clearly in the middle of Cr Gibb's Rosebud heartland (‘Council Watch’, The News 8/7/14) .

If Cr Gibb is the strong advocate for the resi-dents of Rosebud as he would have us all believe, why did he not initiate the report by shire offi cers, rather than Cr Pittock, let alone then try and bury the investigation through a Shire-wide analysis that could foreseeably take months or years to complete? Very strange.

Perhaps Cr Gibb should focus his attention on issues within Rosebud that do impact upon the day-to-day lives of all residents of Rosebud, rather than wasting his time and our money on SPA that not many Rosebud residents want and even less will actually use.

Port confusionPort confusionI am confused? Labor claims that if the port is built at Hastings it will create 40 jobs, but if they build it at Werribee it will create thousands of jobs (‘Labor divide over where to put port’, The News 15/7/14). Labor is clearly confusing jobs with the votes it wants in Geelong. Also how do we get the larger container ships being built now into Port Phillip? There is only 14 metres access depth at the heads - and much less depth through solid basalt to Bay West - compared to natural deep water channels of over 20 metres in Western Port.

Constant annual dredging would be needed to widen and deepen Port Phillip heads. As stated in

your article, the former head of the Port of Mel-bourne Corporation, Stephen Bradford, said “it could have potentially catastrophic environmental consequences”. Labor is just all over the place on this....as usual, its left hand has no idea what its right hand is doing.

Stefan S Borzecki, Somerville

No other choiceNo other choiceMelbourne and Victoria need a natural deep water port to cater for the container vessels of the 2020s which are being built now. How can the Labor shadow minister [Natalie Hutchins] even enter-tain the prospect of Bay West at Werribee? These ships would not get through Port Phillip heads. The constant and annual dredging required would make Port Phillip an environmental disaster, from what I have read from experts.

The natural deep water channels in Western Port are over 20 metres deep and would accom-modate these future vessels.

There is only one choice for a new port and that is Western Port.

John Bryce, Crib Point

Tourism jobs lossTourism jobs lossThe article ‘Labor divide over port’ (The News 8/7/2014) quotes the Labor candidate for Hast-ings Steve Hosking as saying he will back the multi-million dollar expansion of the port [of Hastings] if it will lead to more jobs in the area. He then goes on to say that it may mean as few

40 jobs. Hopefully this won’t be enough potential jobs to cause him to support this outrageous proposal. Labor’s spokeswoman for ports, freight and logistics Natalie Hutchins was reported in a weekend newspaper report as saying, “the case for Bay West was compelling” and suggested that it would create thousands of jobs in Geelong. Mr Hosking has asked Ms Hutchins to help plan a jobs forum at Hastings. I wonder what these “thousands of jobs” will be and why they won’t be available in Hastings.

These confusing statements seem to be saying that while the Labor party line is against the siting of the port at Hastings, it could still go ahead if the “comprehensive and transparent cost-benefi t analysis to test Bay West against all other pos-sible siting alternatives” shows Hastings to be the favourable site.

Mr Hoskings seems to say that the port would not be a huge job creator, but a fully automated port with just a few operators.

Does this mean that he would not be in favour of the project?

I hope he is talking about net jobs after taking into account the potential loss of tourism after beautiful Western Port has been turned into a life-less swamp some years after the Port of Hastings becomes operational.

What about the jobs Australia wide that have been lost due to manufacturing being sent off shore so that we can import what used to made here in Australia?

I would happily pay more for t-shirts and plastic

containers if it meant that it stopped some of this unnecessary movement of goods - or sometimes just inferior junk - all over the world.

At present there are many tourist operators around Western Port bringing hundreds of visitors to this beautiful and unusual place and providing many jobs. Western Port is a very popular fi shing area with hundreds of people out in their boats enjoying the abundance of whiting, snapper and so on every fi ne weekend.

Where ever this new port is located, massive dredging will need to be done and while this is very harsh on the environment, I feel that the results of such a massive undertaking will be cata-strophic to the delicate balance of Western Port.

The mangroves are an important ecological feature of the bay as are the sea grass meadows and these are susceptible to build up of silt. The mangroves and sea grass provide shelter for hatching and growing fi sh and other sea creatures. But I guess with 3000 container ships ploughing through our beautiful bay each year, no one will be going out fi shing anyway.

We can only hope that Bay West is chosen as the best site for the port expansion and Western Port is left alone to stay as lovely as it is now.

However, I do feel sorry for the people in the west who have to suffer so that more cheap junk can be landed on our shores, only to end up as landfi ll.

Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times.

Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012.

To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government

has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new

pay offer to paramedics.

This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes:

• a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics

(pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is

twice as much as the previous offer

• an immediate 6% wage increase

• an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further

3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total.

Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising

from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their

work value claim.

Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be

retained, so that they continue to receive:

• 10 weeks paid leave annually

• 10 weeks paid parental leave

• 6 months long service leave after 15 years service

• tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year.

Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in

Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation

benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme,

including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service.

These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic

can receive a total package of more than $110,000

a year (including rolled-in-rate, built-in overtime, FBT

exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation

benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition,

paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment.

The Victorian Government is continuing to invest

in ambulance services, with funding provided for an

additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers.

This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary

increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms

and conditions they enjoy today and recognises

the importance of the job they do protecting

and saving lives.

There are 17 candidates to consider for the August Red Hill Ward by-election

Why vote Fancett?I stand as an independent. I have lived in Red Hill for 25 years and love this region. Many of us are frustrated by the level of inaction in our ward. I am motivated by the need for real community representation, more transparency in council process and for improved services to enhance our region for residents and visitors alike.

For Red Hill Ward I will push for:• Improved streetscapes and recreational spaces for our villages

(e.g. Balnarring Civic Court Reserve, Flinders streetscape, Red Hill Station Reserve)• Advocacy at both state and local government levels for improved public transport

e.g. connecting buses between Flinders and Balnarring for access to metropolitan transport services.• Better maintenance of our ward’s foreshores currently facing weed infestation, erosion and

sub-standard car parks.• Support and advocacy for our local community groups whose work is essential to making positive change.

For the wider peninsula I will push for:• • Commitment to the Interim Green Wedge Plan• Creation of habitat corridors to enhance biodiversity• Investment for our tourism industry to remain competitive• • Scrutiny applied to all major expenditure to keep our debt manageable• Keeping the pool off the foreshore

As former Vice President of Peninsula Preservation Group, I have a proven record in community and environmental advocacy. I have no tolerance for spin.

Let’s get moving.

AS well as the disturbing scenes of war and violence we often see from afar are the consequences which last for years and generations: trauma, loss of social “glue”, a lesser capacity to build a better life.

Timor Leste (East Timor) has become familiar to thousands of Australians who have put their skills and energies to help and redress past injustices experienced by a poor and vulnerable nation distorted by violent colonialisms, most recently Indone-sian, from 1975 to 1999.

The Timorese people were ignored by other nations, including Australia, which collaborated or looked the other way.

Last year’s Timor visit by 14 local Friends of Lospalos (supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire) was a highpoint in this eight-year rela-tionship, which has fi nanced many education and other projects. But the Timorese also said “It’s not just the money, you are our family.”

The new feature fi lm, Beatriz’s War, illustrates some of the post-colonial issues which affl ict re-construction.

After a massacre by Indonesian soldiers, Beatriz’s husband, Tomas, disappears, hopefully to join the Falintil resistance.

As happened all over Timor, when the men were killed or fl ed to the hills to fi ght, women grew as leaders and made hard choices, including in their role as “clandestinos”. Following independence, Tomas returns and is a different man; Beatriz has changed also.

Exploring their new relationship, she asks herself uncomfortable ques-tions about him and what happened

Lives changed by terror in TimorLives changed by terror in Timor

during his 16-year absence. She has seen and done enough to be strong and determined enough to resolve her doubts.

Melbourne producer/directors Luigi Acquisto and Stella Zammataro have made a number of documentaries about Timor Leste since 2001, and teamed up with Timorese fi lmmak-ers Bety Reis and Lurdes Pires for “Beatriz’s War”.

The cast includes Jose da Costa (Answered by Fire, Balibo) and the screenplay was written by Irim Tolen-

tino (Beatrix) who also plays the lead of Rosa in a Timor TV series.

The real-life experiences of the Indonesian occupation have informed the acting of many of the cast, and bring out some compelling and an-guished performances.

One location, Kraras, was the site of the 1983 massacre portrayed in the fi lm and some of the fi lm extras were there at the time.

The fi lm took more than a year to make and received early support from SBS Television, the Timorese army

and companies such as Toll Logistics, Airnorth and Rentlo.

The Friends of Los Palos, Amnesty International, and Mornington Penin-sula Human Rights Group are screen-ing Beatriz’s War as a fundraiser at Mornington Cinema on Tuesday 5 August. A short report about Lospalos at 7pm will be followed by the fi lm at 7.30. Information and bookings at www.trybooking.com/FJNW or www.trybooking.com/94324

IS Hastings destined to be an international con-tainer port, or are there other scenarios that could secure both the economic and environmental fu-ture of the bay and the surrounding region?

These far-reaching questions will be evaluated at the workshop: Scenario Planning for West-ern Port Bay, to be held at the Newhaven Yacht Squadron on Phillip Island over fi ve days from 28 July-1 August. And the organisers are inviting interested residents to take part.

The workshop is being led by Australian Na-tional University professor and ecological econo-mist Robert Costanza, and Dr Ida Kubiszewski, a senior lecturer at ANU and managing editor of Solutions and other publications.

Those attending are expected to include busi-ness, government, environmental and social science leaders who are interested in helping to shape the future economy and ecology of the Western Port region.

Organisers are the ANU, Preserve Western Port Action Group and the Victorian National Parks Association – with the support of Bass Coast Shire Council.

Scenario planning is a structured process of exploring and evaluating plausible futures. Exer-cises have been conducted here and internation-ally on a range of issues, including regional fu-tures, corporate strategy, political transition and community-based natural resource management.

The innovative process will involve larger groups on days one and fi ve - up to 100 each day - and a small, dedicated group of up to 25 people over the entire week.

The fi ve-day workshop is expected to set the scene for the rest of the week with guest speakers introducing up to 100 participants to scenario plan-ning. The work achieved on day one will shape the scenarios to be evaluated over the next three days.

These will involve working groups of 20-25 partici-pants “fl eshing out and evaluating” scenarios.

The fi nal day will involve reporting back on the preliminary results of the scenario planning with opportunities for feedback, discussion and input into the next steps which are open to up to 100 participants.

Those attending the entire workshop will be supplied with background reading material, and staff and students from ANU will help guide them through the fi ve-day process.

Organisers are looking for people of different backgrounds and a cross section of expertise to join in the workshop for the full fi ve days.

that, for participants to get the most out of the workshop, they must be prepared to get deeply involved.

“We understand that this is a signifi cant com-mitment of time and resources, but it is also a huge opportunity to draw on leading global prac-tice to explore an important issue using innova-tive methodology,” Preserve Western Port Action Group chairman Jeff Nottle said.

“Of course, we also understand that people’s time may be limited, so there are options for them to attend the fi rst day to help set the course of the workshop and or the last day (day fi ve) to discuss the preliminary results and give feedback.

“Participants can also nominate a delegate from their organisation to register for days one, fi ve, or both, or lodge an expression of interest to attend all fi ve days.”

To book a place in the invitation-only event register at the Eventbrite registration page.

The yacht squadron is in Seaview St, Newhav-en, with catering provided for the full fi ve days.

Wearing the No. 1 jumper, Hunter started in the juniors as an eight-year-old, has been vice-captain and captain, won three club best-and-fairest awards (the most recent in 2012), and won the league best-and-fairest twice (most recently in 2012).

Hunter’s tally of senior games for Dromana exceeds 160 and his service was only interrupted by two years in the VFL with the Frankston Dolphins and a year with Mornington. He has also captained inter-league teams.

At the age of 30, married and with a young family, Hunter was in excellent physical condi-tion; he was a moderate drinker and did not smoke. Yet, in the lead-up to the fi nals, he felt something wasn’t quite right.

After the celebrations subsided he went for a check-up and was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

He retired from football, underwent surgery and embarked on an extended program of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Although his treatment is ongoing, he still likes to have a run with his former team mates and even harbours an ambition to play again in 2015.

After they had come to terms with the serious-ness of Hunter’s diagnosis, his team mates de-cided on a positive course of action: they would raise money for research into bowel cancer. With the support of the club and the assistance of Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer (an initiative of Cabrini Hospital), Daniel Waddell, one of Hunter’s team mates, set about organising the special day. It was a home match played on 28 June against Hastings, which also came on board.

Waddell worked hard to get sponsors and both clubs wore heritage jumpers. TV personal-

ity Geoff Cox (of Coxy’s Big Break) accepted Waddell’s invitation to attend and addressed the crowd at half time.

Cox, a bowel cancer survivor, is an ambassa-dor for Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer as well as being an Australia Day ambassador.

After the match the heritage jumpers were auctioned, as were two AFL jumpers (Carlton and Gold Coast) which had been signed by the players and coaches. These were donated by the Warnock brothers (Robert and Mathew) who play for those clubs. More than $10,000 was raised. Hunter was able to lead the Dromana team onto the ground and witnessed a real thriller in which they scraped home by a point 8.11-59) to 7.16-58.

Later, Jane Makin, manager of Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer, said she appreciated the efforts of Waddell, his team mates and the two clubs. She provided some information on bowel cancer which does not receive the same publicity as other forms of cancer: It is the second biggest cancer killer in Aus-tralia (after lung). One Australian dies of bowel cancer every two hours - more that breast or prostate cancer. It affects men and women almost equally. More than 14,000 Australians are diagnosed annually, and around 4000 die. It accounts for 13.1 per cent of all cancer diag-nosed and 10.1 per cent of all cancer deaths. In Victoria alone, more than 1300 people die each year - more than three times the road toll. One in 12 Australians will develop bowel can-cer in their lifetime. Risk increases with age. While 90 per cent of bowel cancers affect those aged 50 and over, around 1000 Australians younger than 50 are diagnosed annually. Screening for bowel cancer every one to two years can reduce the risk of dying from the disease by up to 33 per cent. Bowel cancer is preventable and, if detected early, can be treated successfully in 90 per cent of cases.

SURGERY to ease the suffering of long-term asthma sufferers is now available at Frankston Hospital. It is the fi rst time surgery to reduce the effects of asthma attacks on chronic asthma sufferers for whom traditional medications do not work has been offered in Victoria.

Peninsula Health’s director of thoracic medicine, Professor David Langton, performed the procedure for the fi rst time last week while accompanied by Harvard professor of medicine, Dr Armin Ernst, who pioneered the procedure.

The bronchial thermoplasty pro-cedure involves inserting a bron-choscope, or small tube, down the patient’s airway and into their lungs whilst they are under anaesthesia. A heat probe is then used to treat the muscles that cause bronchospasm.

“By weakening these muscles they will no longer be able to cause wheeze and asthma attacks,” Prof Langton said.

Debra Clarke is one of two patients for whom Professor Langton will be performing the surgery on for the fi rst time.

The 53-year-old mother of three has spent suffering from the effects of asthma since being diagnosed at 15 months of age.

“I’ve had asthma for as long as I can remember and nothing has ever been able to relieve the constant wheeziness. I’ve never been able to be as active as I want to be. I never played sports. Even in school I used to hide my head in my bag to take my puffer for fear of being labelled as not

normal,” Ms Clarke said As a chronic asthma sufferer she

has spent her life on medication to try and relieve the constant heaviness in her chest.

“I’ve had all the traditional medica-tion and tried all the experimental trials I could, including going onto chemotherapy medication.

“I am now at the point where the constant use of cortisone steroids is having a signifi cant toll on my

body. My hair is thinning, my skin is weak and I am constantly covered in bruises. I have had to give up so much of my quality of life including my job because of my asthma.

“One of the side effects of the use of steroids to treat asthma is getting dia-betes. My dad, who was also a chronic asthma sufferer, passed away from steroid induced diabetes at 59. I really don’t want that to happen to me.”

Ms Clarke hopes the surgery will

reduce her reliance on the cortisone steroids, minimise their effects on her body, and reduce her risk of getting diabetes.

“Within six months I’m expect-ing to see my quality of life improve dramatically,” she said.

“I’m just looking forward to doing those things we take for granted like breathing and walking with ease and without the fear of suffering an at-tack.”

The bronchial thermoplasty is only available for patients following a specialist review. Patients must have severe and persistent asthma that is not well controlled despite taking cur-rently available medications.

Since the procedure was approved for use in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in

2013 it has been performed on less than 20 patients in hospitals in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

Debra Clarke, top right, was diagnosed with asthma at 15 months of age and hopes the surgey will lead to an improvement in her quality of life. Pictures: Yanni

NEWS DESK

MRS Emu is in from an outing and in a mood, judging by the forceful closing of the front door. She was off shopping and cof-feeing with friends on an expedition to the Great Shopping Centre and it appears not all went well.

Emu adopts a snoozing pose as drawers are rattled and cupboards slammed. But snoozing, faked or otherwise, is no defence against an irritated Mrs Emu needing to get something off her chest.

“Just imagine it!” she expostulates, bursting in on her recumbent spouse, who twitches realistically, as if in a slumber too deep to be interrupted. To no avail: Mrs Emu is no respecter of feigned sleep when in a mood.

“Imagine it!” she said again, with a “I know you're feigning sleep” edge to her voice. “I have to make an appointment. An appointment to have my electronic pad looked at. Have you ever heard anything like it? And all this palaver because the glass screen is broken.”

And Emu, it transpires, has a role to play in this appointment. First, he must make it. Then he will accompany his Blushing Bride to the computer store. He suspects he will be there for moral support.

At the appointed time on the appointed day they swirl into the store. “Have you an appointment?” a young female inquires. The imperious BB has swirled on, towards a counter marked Genius, leaving Emu to respond in the affi rmative.

At the counter Mrs Emu is breathing slightly heavily, glaring at three young swains attending to an attractive young female acting helpless, too absorbed to cast so much as a glance at the new customers. “Hussy!” mutters Mrs Emu, slightly too loudly.

Ten minutes pass before Mrs Emu's very

own Genius approaches, his luxuriant oiled curls gleaming, matching his smile. “Mr and Mrs Emu,” he breathes, “how can I help you today?”

Mrs Emu pushes the pad over the counter. Our Genius observes its smashed screen as David Attenborough scrutinises a spectacu-lar newly discovered insect. “Oh, dear,” he sighs. “How did this happen? What a shame.”

“Never mind how it happened, it's what happens now,” says the BB tersely. “I want it fi xed as soon as possible.”

Genius looks at us mournfully for a long moment. Clearly he has bad news for us. Clearly he is following the script learned at the training sessions Geniuses attend to gain their Genius certifi cate. “We don't fi x them,” he says. “We replace them.”

Mrs Emu, and her spouse, are genuinely startled by this revelation, and even more so by the next piece of news.

“We can replace this one for $300 or so,” he informs us. “I assume you have backed up all your data. Of course, that will be lost.”

Mrs Emu is struggling to comprehend. Lost data? What does this mean? “Can't repair?” she stutters incredulously. “It's just a piece of broken glass. Three hundred dollars – odd? For this we had to make an appoint-ment? Couldn't be told over the phone, or when I came in two days ago? Needed an appointment?”

Her voice is rising, her eyes are reddening. Any moment now, thinks Emu, she is going to do that terrifying serpentine manoeu-vre with her neck. Watch out for the beak,

Genius. But she doesn't. The Genius remains as

stationary and confi dent as a cat watch-ing the approach of small dog. His Genius course has covered Diffi cult Customers. “We can only replace,” he intones in a hard little voice, his brilliant smile fi xed. “Or you could put clear plastic to the screen so you don't get cut by the broken glass.”

Sensing Mrs Emu is vulnerable, he con-tinues. “Unfortunately we are out of clear plastic or I would put one on for you. But a shop on the ground fl oor stocks them” – he names the shop – “and I strongly recommend you acquire one.

“Thank you for calling by,” he says dismissively, all prospect of profi table com-merce gone, “and have a good day.”

The Emus adjourn to the ground fl oor, fi nd the shop, fi nd the plastic (“optical quality, $24.95”) and leave the Great Shopping Cen-tre, device unfi xed, plastic unpurchased.

“I've got clear plastic left over from cover-ing my cookery books,” the BB announces as we climb into the car. “Not optical quality, but it will do the job.” The revelation that his bride possesses cookbooks shakes Emu. Her culinary output has always been rudimentary, he muses.

As the motor revs, she harks back. “And for that I had to have an appointment. An appointment! Soon we'll have to make an appointment for a pound of pork chops or a pair of shoes. We’re being conned!”

She begins to enumerate items one might have to make an appointment to buy. Emu presses the radio button. It bursts into life with Je ne regrette rien, the unmistakeable warblings of The Little Sparrow (Le Petit Moineau), the dreaded Edith Piaf.

Merde! Emu thought he had disposed of this hateful CD. And now his BB thinks he has actually come to like it. Merde encore!

An appointment? To buy pork chops?An appointment? To buy pork chops? Records library grantsRecords library grantsMORNINGTON Peninsula libraries have received a wel-come boost, with the state government announcing funding would be increased to $915,000 this fi nancial year.

The peninsula was one of the big winners from an ad-justed formula used by the state government to ensure fairer distribution of annual funding provided for Victoria’s 54 public libraries and library corporations.

Local Government Minister Tim Bull said Victorian libraries would receive record recurrent funding of $39.52 million through the Public Libraries Funding Program.

This amount for the 2014-15 fi nancial year was in ad-dition to the $17.2 million Living Libraries Infrastructure Program that funds new libraries, smaller redevelopments and refurbishments, he said.

Mornington MP David Morris said the funding windfall represented the largest annual amount ever provided to peninsula libraries.

“Local libraries are at the very heart of our communities so it is important that library services and councils work collabora-tively together to provide high quality services that continue to grow and cater for the needs of all Victorians,” Mr Morris said.

“This is the largest amount of funding ever provided to our libraries, reversing funding cuts left by the former Labor,” Mr Morris said.

Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Antonella Celi welcomed news of the funding increase, which she said will contribute to providing the community with a range of important services.

“These include books, CDs and DVDs for loan, online services and resources, mobile library services, public ac-cess computers and WiFi, and a range of reading and learn-ing programs for the community,” Cr Celi said.

Bingo fundraiserBingo fundraiserTHE Mornington branch of the Make-A-Wish foundation is holding a Bogan Bingo night to raise money to help it fulfi l the wishes of children with life-threatening medical condi-tions.

“The power of the wish has shown to make a major dif-ference to the mental, emotional and even physical health of a seriously ill child or teenager,” Fiona Denny said.

“The amazing and lasting joy of a wish is felt by every-one, from recipients, volunteers and the community.”

The Bogan Bingo fundraiser, including raffl es, games and silent auction, starts 7pm Saturday 23 August at Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Cost $35 a ticket. Details: 5987 1874.

Befi tting a property of this calibre, and again underlining the emphasis that you get to enjoy this home, not be a slave to it, there is a host of smart, time-saving features programmed to control the heating & cooling systems inside and the turf and garden irrigation systems outside. Even the pool, solar heating and home security are taken care of. A double garage under the roofl ine has internal access and a double carport is great to store the extra recreational vehicles. Total relaxation has never looked this good, nor this easy.

***THE demonstration in tree and stump blasting with gelignite was very successfully carried out on Tuesday afternoon last the 28th inst. on Mr Gibson’s property at Hastings.

Although the day was showery, about 35 spec-tators assembled to witness operations.

In all eight stumps and one tree were grubbed and without one exception, those present were unanimous in their praises of the effective work done.

One particularly large stump was cleanly grubbed and shattered with a shilling’s worth of explosives, all the roots being run perfectly.

The spectators considered that it would have been a cheap job for twice the cost.

Small stumps up to 1 foot in diameter were blown out for 3d or 4d each.

Two large stumps, each about 3ft. across, were blown up simultaneously with the electric shot fi ring method.

The stumps were about 20 ft. apart and after connecting up the wires, which convect the elec-tricity, all retired to a safe distance (about 50 yards).

As soon as the current was passed along the wires, the charges under the two stumps explodes

simultaneosely and both stumps were seen thrown into the air in a dozen pieces.

The electric outfi t used at the demonstration was the property of Mr Kroronse, of Tyabb, and is for sale or else available for hire by the week.

Supplies of Noble’s Glas-gow Gelignite, Fuse and Detonators may also be ob-tained from Mr Krcrousee who is the local representa-tive.

***FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions was held on Monday last. before Mr Williams JP. Francis Brown claimed £5 damages from John Garlepp for alleged unlawful assault on the 10th July on the Mornington Road.

Mr Lawrence Rostron appeared for the com-plainant, and Mr Kirby for Garlepp.

Francis Brown, the complainant said that on the evening of that day he escorted Miss Walsh, whom he did not know, to her home.

She was accompanied by two home boys, and she told him that she had been annoyed by two men and that she was frightened to go home by herself.

She asked him to fi nd a young man named Bolger, whom she knew, but he was unable to do so.

He then said that he would go home with her, which he did.

He saw her safely inside the gate, and returned to the road, when he was assailed from behind and pushed on to his face on the road.

He got up, and encountered Garlepp in a fi ght-ing attitude, while another man, whom he could not recognise, was about ten yards away throw-ing clay at him.

Garlepp attacked him, and as a result he was again knocked over, and had a piece of skin knocked off his face.

He procured a billet of wood and his assailants decamped.

Constable McCorniack said that on the night of the 10th July the complainant came to the police station, and laid a complaint against Garlepp. His coat was covered in mud, and the left side of his face was cut, and blood was running from it.

The defendant was fi ned 10s, with 15s 6d costs, and 5s damages was awarded. Garlepp was also charged with an assault ou Brown on 11th July, in the billiard room of the Bay View Hotel, but in this case the bench decided to dismiss the case.

Rage against the washing machineFOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughMost appliances are harmless. A toaster would gladly be your best friend given the chance. In fact, if you were to unexpectedly become a hobo at short notice and set off on a cross continental journey carrying noth-ing but a swag and a water bottle, a toaster would happily trail behind and keep you company the entire way. Or it would, at least, if it had legs. A food processor can’t do enough for you. It’s practically falling over itself just to help out. Televisions are just like windows but better. Kettles hold the unique distinction of being the most yin and yang of all appliances in that they boil water and yet simul-taneously soothe the soul. But there is one household white good that should not be trusted. When it comes to this particular piece of domestic hardware, never let it near the steak knives and avoid turning your back on it at all costs. It’s mean and angry and will never be your friend. I speak, of course, of the washing machine.

It’s the Incredible Hulk of applianc-es. It sits there, all harmless and inert until forced to do its job at which point it becomes unspeakably angry. It starts slowly with little more than a gentle whir; like a merry go-round for your clothes. But before you know it, the whole contraption works itself up into a writhing, foot-stomping tizz that falls just short of a somersault as it goes fl at-out berserk. It’s as though it’s throwing a spectacular tantrum that would surely earn it a spell in time out were it not for the fact that

it was already in the least attractive room in the house. It’s as though it’s trying to have its way and is eternally annoyed at the fact that it has to wash dirty clothes whilst other appliances get all the glamour jobs.

At Tyabb, the washing machine was bigger than the fi rst car I owned. It also had a greater top speed. Given that it had to deal with the dirty

clothes of seven people, it had a lot to be angry about. The laundry was (and still is) just near the dining room table and it was not unusual for us to be working our way through a plate of meat and three vege only to be interrupted by a sound that resembled Dorothy’s Tin Man stuck on ‘The Gravitron’ and trying to squash a mouse. When it got really worked up,

it made a shrieking sound reminiscent of the shower scene from Psycho. Plates would tremble and peas would leap from forks in search of safety as an avalanche of sound that gave the impression that hell’s own portal had just been prised open fi lled the house. To hear it, you’d think it was the apocalypse rather than just the spin cycle.

More than just wail and scream, our machine made frequent attempts to escape. It never succeeded. It must be said that it’s not easy getting over the razor wire and past the guard dogs when you’re chock-full to the brim with school uniforms and PE gear. Not that our machine didn’t give it a pretty good try. It was a common occurrence to fi nd that it had broken loose from its moorings and was pressed up against the door. Sadly, though it travelled the length of the laundry, it never went any further. It’s the curse of not having hands, I guess. The poor thing was probably hoping for the day one of us accidently left the door open and it could, once and for all, makes it break for freedom.

Maybe that’s the problem. Perhaps washing machines don’t have severe anger management issues so much as they simply long to be free. It doesn’t seem too much to hope for. Besides, they’re always in the worst spot in the house. Sometimes, they don’t even get a room to themselves. I once lived in an apartment that had a so-called ‘European laundry’. As it turns out, ‘European laundry’ is an especially fancy way of saying ‘cupboard’. Or,

to those of you who’ve ever rented in the metropolitan area, a ‘studio apart-ment for an affordable budget’.

For decades, humankind has contemplated what the world might be like if apes were to rise up and conquer human civilisation as we know it. It’s a question fi rst posed by Pierre Boulle’s novel, ‘La Planete des Singes’, which was later turned into the movie ‘Flashdance’. But the same book was also the basis for the fi lm starring Charlton Heston, ‘The Planet of the Apes’. To this day, it’s a theme that continues to fascinate people. But the real question is this: who’s to say that monkeys pose the biggest risk? Unless you’re Michael Jackson (and, let’s face it, who is?) primates don’t live inside your house. Apes don’t know you so well that they’re intimate with all your dirty laundry. Washing machines, on the other hand... If you think about it, the threat is clear – washing machines are preparing to attack.

The day when both front and top loaders alike rise up against their human captors cannot be far away. That’s why we need to get in fi rst. People get hysterical about free-range eggs, never realising they’re holding someone hostage. The time is now. I say we should set our washing ma-chines free. To let them throw off the yoke of servitude so they can roam in packs over the open plains. It’s a delicate matter, but these machines have a cycle for ‘delicates’. Go, dear machine; go and be free.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntCRIB POINT proved once and for all on Saturday that it is a genuine premiership contender after knocking over Dromana for the second time this season.

The Magpies answered everything that the reigning premier threw at them on Saturday at Crib Point Reserve before hanging on to win another thriller, 17.6 (108) to 14.19 (103).

The fi rst time the sides met, Crib Point kicked the last goal of the game to win by one point.

Now, looking at the scoreboard, it would appear that the Tigers squandered opportunities and probably deserved to win.

However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. The Tigers did squander opportunities in front of goal, however they certainly didn’t deserve to win the game.

Crib Point was clearly the better team over four quarters and followed instructions to the letter.

Dromana didn’t seem to listen to a lot of what coach Doug Koop had told them and the result was their third straight loss.

Every time the Tigers challenged the home team on Saturday, the Magpies were able to respond with a couple of goals of their own to regain the gap.

Crib Point led at every change and Dromana didn’t hit the front once in the contest. The closest they got was within two points in the last quarter.

The Pies booted the fi rst four goals of the game before the Tigers had entered their attacking 50.

Crib Point went into the match without Glenn Boyd for the second week, which saw Luke Herrington and Jon Flack swapping between full forward and on the ball. Both fi nished with four goals and they were instrumental in the win.

Brad Davidson also lit the place up, as he so often does, with a couple of clever goals. He too fi nished with four, while the domination of James Cook in the ruck was instrumental.

Cook was wonderful at the centre bounces and around the ground. He beat three opponents in Baldwin, McGrath and Gaertner. McGrath went off the ground in the second quarter with what appeared to be a shoulder injury. He didn’t come back on.

The undersized Crib Point defence was superb also. Dean Warry, Matt Sloper and Zac Dekluever all gave away height but they couldn’t be matched at ground level.

The Magpies’ style was to bring the ball to ground, run, spread and ‘blow-up’ the Dromana opposition. It was also a case of play-on at all costs.

The Pies have backed their fi tness all season and while Dromana appeared to be running them down in the last, it was Crib Point’s running game that saw them kick two goals to seal the game.

Dromana lacked system going forward and while the coach was pulling his hair out on the sidelines

because his forwards kept leading wide, it made little difference.

There were four players that kept Dromana in the contest. Paul Minchington was clearly his team’s best player in the middle, Call Park was extremely good, Christian Ongarello gave great drive from half back and Terry Wheeler was dominant.

There just wasn’t enough support from anyone else.

Dromana will get back Michael Falconer and Ash Waterstone this week, while Andy Kiely is another two weeks away. Stuart Cleave (shoulder) is also a chance to play before fi nals, although it is considered doubtful.

The Magpies should get back Boyd in the next couple of weeks and Aaron Murray would be a wonderful inclusion into this footy team.

Hastings season is fi nished after being beaten by Frankston Bombers on Saturday.

To say the Blues have been disappointing this season would be an understatement.

On Saturday, Hastings was beaten by a team that was more committed, desperate and unifi ed.

At no stage were they really in the contest and the scoreboard of 10.10 (70) to 7.9 (51) refl ected that.

James Degenhardt was outstanding again for the Bombers while Corey Micari and Mitch Bosward were also in fi ne form.

Taylor Stratton was again the Blues’ best, while Luke Hewitt and Steve Charalambous have found some

consistency of late.Grant Masterson and Mick Haddad

were both in the reserves, as was Mick Agnello, who was dropped after announcing his retirement before the Rosebud match.

Rosebud’s season is also fi nished after it went down to Sorrento by six goals.

The Buds were held goalless in the fi rst half, however, booted six goals to fi ve in the second half to go down 6.6 (42) to 12.6 (78).

Leigh Poholke and James Hallahan booted three each for the Sharks. Hallahan was the best player on the ground, while Dave Lawson and Tyrren Head were also at the top of their game.

Tom Baker was his team’s best while Dan Hickey play a great game against his old side.

A big wasted season for the Buds, while Sorrento now seems to be motoring towards fi nals.

Rye is also starting to motor and sured-up a place in the fi nals with a 13.15 (93) to 6.9 (45) win against Devon Meadows.

Panthers’ coach Brent Clinnick announced his resignation through the week, however, it wasn’t enough to spur his team to an unlikely win.

The Demons kicked away early and stretched their lead at every change.

Aaron Findlay was a handful with four goals while Ben Cain and Leigh Morse were also very good performers. For the second time this season, Adam Kirkwood tore his hamstring. They

need to put him on ice now until fi nals.Teenager James Doria made it fi ve

goals in two senior matches with another two while Pat Boland and Brian Wapshott were outstanding.

Pearcedale led Somerville all day on Saturday until it mattered most, the fi nal siren.

The Eagles booted 3.5 to one behind in the fi nal quarter to win 13.12 (90) to 11.12 (78).

Adrian Ridout was the difference between the sides with six goals for the Eagles, while Justin Farrelly was outstanding in the ruck.

Pat Heijden was great for the Panthers with four goals and Pat Cadd and Chris Fortnam fl ew the fl ag for four quarters also.

In the fi nal game, despite resting six top liners, Red Hill managed an 18.20 (128) to 2.8 (20) win against Tyabb.

The Yabbies were held goalless until the fi nal quarter.

The Hillmen went into the game without the likes of Dan McNamara, Michael Mock, Josh Mold, Jarryd Eames and Sean Holmes.

It mattered little as the Hillmen had 18 scoring shots in the fi rst half and 20 scoring shots in the second hour.

Jarryd Douglas fi nished with seven for the winners while Jake Mold and Marcus Dal Lago were also fi ne contributors.

Justin Volk was Tyabb’s best, while Tyson Sparkes continues to impress. Adrian Clay, Nick Taranto and the more experienced Ash Souter and Craig Conlan worked tirelessly also.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntEdithvale-Aspendale is four points clear of Bonbeach and Mornington in second place on the Peninsula League ladder after coming from behind to beat the Dogs on Saturday.

The reigning premier now has 11 wins from 14 matches, while the Sharks and Dogs are a further game back.

Frankston YCW maintained its position at the top of the Peninsula League ladder after beating Seaford. They are a game clear of Edithvale (12 wins and two losses).

The fi ght for fi fth place continues, although Mt Eliza now is a game clear of Langwarrin.

The Redlegs will fi nish at least two games clear of the Kangas by season’s end with games against Karingal and Seaford to come in the fi nal four rounds.

Langwarrin has Seaford this week but fi nishes with Edithvale, Mornington and Frankston YCW.

The big game on Saturday though was that between the Eagles and the Dogs at Regent Park.

Edithvale got away to a fl ier and led by 23 points at quarter time and extended that to 24 points at the long interval.

Mornington came out fi ring in the third quarter, booted 4.4 to four behinds and scores were locked together at the fi nal change.

By the halfway mark of the last quarter, the Doggies had edged their way in front by seven points and looked the stronger of the two teams.

However, the Eagles found an extra gear in the fi nal 15 minutes of the match, kicked the next four goals and recorded an 11.14 (80) to 9.14 (68) victory.

Teenage star Darcy Warke was superb for the Eagles with two goals and a dominant display, while Todd

Woodbridge, who had spent a couple of weeks in the twos, stood up most when it counted in the last quarter.

Adam Budge had also missed a few games and he kicked a very important goal in the last quarter to put the Eagles in front.

Eagles’ coach Troy Shannon said it was another important victory.

“You have to beat the best sides in the competition if you want to achieve what you want out of a season,” said Shannon.

“We should have put them away in the fi rst quarter but we just didn’t convert our opportunities. Instead of being four goals up, I thought we should have been six or seven in front.

“I was pleased with our ability to be able to get going again when the game was on the line.

“They (Mornington) had all the momentum and we were able to get that back. Even more pleasing was it wasn’t the same old players that got us out of a hole.

“It was guys who have struggled of late, got another opportunity and really grabbed it.”

Shannon said Mornington was a “very good side”.

“Mornington has a never-say-die attitude and that’s a really good trait to have as a footy side,” said Shannon.

“I’d like to think that we are a bit the same and it was two teams having a real crack.

“They have a great blend of bigs, smalls, experience and youth and they are going to be good for a while.

“I think the bigger decks will suit them better too,” said Shannon.

Dale Nolan booted four majors for the Doggies and was among his side’s best, while Chris Paxino and Jai Haddock were outstanding.

Bonbeach bounced back from a horrible defeat last week to easily

account for Langwarrin.The Sharks got away to a wobbly

start and were outplayed by the Kangas in the fi rst quarter, however, took advantage of their limited opportunities and went in at the fi rst break ten points up.

By half time, the game was over with the Sharks leading by 40 points.

Langwarrin rallied in the second half; however, it wasn’t enough to bridge the gap, going down 14.10 (94) to 8.9 (57).

Corey McQueen booted three goals for the Sharks while the stars including Ricky Ferraro, Shane McDonald, Anthony Raso, Paul Rebeschini, Dylan Jones and Jackson Casey all dominated.

Nick Tuddenham was again in the best for the Kangas in only his fourth game, while usual campaigners in Dan Wehner, Michael Parker and Jarryd Amalfi worked tirelessly.

Once again, it has been proven that the Kangas are a long way off the top four sides of the competition.

Mt Eliza replaced Langwarrin in the top fi ve after smashing Chelsea to the tune of 63 points.

The Redlegs took control of the match early and extended their lead at every change, winning 20.7 (127) to 9.10 (64).

Scott Lockwood booted fi ve goals while Benny Lean played his best game for some time with four majors.

Bryce Hayes and Zallec White aren’t names we know a lot about but they too were dominant for the Redlegs on Saturday, as were seasoned campaigners Darren Booth and Rohan Heasley.

Robbie Lancaster and Todd Gardiner were the best of the Gulls, as was Jason Clark, who rarely plays a bad game.

Pines took a while to shake off Karingal on Saturday but still

managed to get the four points, winning 10.14 (74) to 4.16 (40).

Guy and Beau Hendry booted fi ve goals between them while Jamie Messina and Adam Ludewig dominated.

Scores were locked at 4.8 (32) apiece at half time before the Pythons booted 6.6 to eight behinds after the break.

George Angelopolous was the Bulls’ best with two goals while Michael Burke and Aaron Paxton also worked hard.

In the fi nal game, Frankston YCW worked over Seaford, winning 14.15 (99) to 6.9 (45).

The Tigers did well to go with the

Stonecats in the fi rst half with only 12 points separating the sides at the break.

However, with Kyle Hutchison and Jai Coghlan celebrating milestone games, the Stonecats turned up the heat after the long break and dominated the next hour.

Byron and Anthony Barry were outstanding in the win, while Riley Hodson and Craig Nankervis were also dominant.

Aaron Walton booted two goals and was Seaford’s best, while Brad Doyle and Josh Stokes were also among the votes.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

Winning team: Squash champion Kasey Brown with her long time coach Rodney Martin.

THE Mornington peninsula will be the target of a number of Victoria’s best squash players that have entered The 2014 Mornington Peninsula Open and Graded Squash Champion-ship.

Strong teams have been entered from Shepparton and Bendigo to compete against Melbourne and the peninsula’s best.

Being a graded event means that players of all levels will compete with people with the same ability.

For the top grades however an op-portunity exists for men and woman to play Former World number 6 and Australia’s number one ranked female player Kasey Brown.

Miss Brown said she was thrilled to come to Dromana and was looking forward to the competition.

“It will be an interesting spectacle with a lot of the top men thinking they may have a chance to beat a World ranked player.”

“ I would be very surprised if she dropped a game” said the tourna-ment director Mr John Webber who also commented “The prize of a Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet for a long weekend had meant that entries were fi lling fast”.

If you are interested in watching the event, entry is free and the staff at Tonic Gym will make you feel very welcome.
