April 6 May 2013

By Keith PlattTHE interest of the equine world is zeroing in on a small landholding in Pearcedale.

But it is not the polocrosse horses in Jeremy and Peta Marriott’s fenced pad-docks that are attracting all the atten-

tion. The centre of focus is East Lynne Plucker, a 21-year-old, 15.2-hands high grey gelding living out his au-tumn years on a farm at Geraldton in Western Australia.

The Mariotts and other members of the family are the central members of

a syndicate formed to create a clone of the horse affectionately known as Plukka. If successful, a stallion with an exact replica of his DNA will be born in August 2014.

It will be an Australian fi rst and a birth that could lead to clones of other

champion horses.Plukka is a star when it comes to

polo crosse and is onknowingly par-ticipating in the cloning program that could see his genetic double fathering future champions.

Plukka cannot breed as such but the

latest scientifi c techniques make it possi-ble for his unique genetic code to live on.

Unable to collect his sperm, the clon-ing program will see cells extracted from Plukka then used to culture stem cells injected into DNA-less eggshells.

Continued from Page 1The offspring will be grown from a

chip off its old man’s block.The eggs will be returned to the

mare from where they were collected to grow and the resulting foal born in the normal way.

The mare, a surrogate mother, will have no genetic link to her foal.

The foal will be a stallion, just the same as Plukka.

But from then on the destinies of the two horses will be vastly different.

The stallion will not be gelded and his sperm will be collected to father any number of other Plukka-like hors-es for polocrosse.

“Polocrosse horses are basically Australian stock horses,” Mr Marriott says. “The cloning we are doing will be the fi rst in Australia of any type of horse.”

The interest in Plukka comes from his success as a polocrosse player, which has been recognised interna-tionally.

He has been ridden in seven national titles, a record, and “is arguably the best polocrosse horse ever produced”, Mr Marriott says.

Mr Marriott’s family in WA bred Plukka, whose bloodlines go back to a stud run by Australia’s highest rated polo player, Sinclair Hill, in the Hunt-er Valley, New South Wales.

While the biopsy which supplied the cells for Plukka’s clone was done in WA, the preparation of the egg and its implanting in a mare will take place in Geelong.

Up to 15 mares will be implanted with eggs, with just one being allowed to foal.

Cloning for crosse breedCloning for crosse breed

The progress of the embryos will be closely monitored, with all but the healthiest one terminated in vitro.

Experts from the United States are overseeing the medical procedures, which involve “sucking out” any DNA from the mares’ eggs before they are fi lled with stem cells cultured from a slice of fl esh taken from Pluk-ka’s neck.

“We don’t have sperm but we effec-tively have conception,” Mr Marriott says.

“The patented part is how the eggs are kick-started into growing an em-bryo without sperm.”

Eggs implanted with cells contain-ing Plukka’s DNA have been frozen, waiting for spring when they will be implanted into the chosen mares.

“We have a conglomerate of experts out from the US, geneticists, and vets from the US and Australia,” Mr Mar-riott says.

“There’s a lot of interest from the polo fraternity in securing Plukka’s bloodline.”

Mr Marriott puts the cost of the clon-ing program at $250,000-$500,000 and says that making more than one

Plukka clone would devalue the ser-vice fees expected from his offspring.

Genetic material taken from Plukka is also being kept as insurance in case the cloning fails.

While there is a worldwide ban on cloning racehorses, the same does not apply to show jumpers, polo or rodeo horses.

“There are almost 2500 cloned hors-es worldwide, from just one in 2003,” Mr Marriott says.

“Typically, the physical attributes of a cloned horse are the same but the markings can be different because they are the result of pressure within the womb and are nothing to do with DNA.”

Mt Martha-based equine vet John Bowers said using eggs produced by a particular mare avoided there being an antigenic reaction.

“Her antibodies won’t attack the eggs because they came from her in the fi rst place,” Mr Bowers said.

“The DNA is taken out of her eggs leaving just an eggshell. Cloning will keep the characteristics of the original horse, including its sex.

“The foal will be genetically identi-cal but not an identical animal. “

Although Plukka is acclaimed with-in polocrosse circles and Mr Marriott is a member of the Moorooduc club, the two have never played a game to-gether.

“I’ve never sat on him, although everyone else in the family has,” he says.

“It would be a no win situation. If we didn’t excel it would have been be-cause of me and, if we did do well, it would have been because of Plucker.”

Awaiting new foal: Jeremy Marriott at his Pearcedale property with one of his polocrosse horses.

ANALYSISBy David HarrisonMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire rate-payers will get a shock when they open their rates notices – the fi gure could be well up on what they paid last year.

But not all of the rise will be revenue for the shire. From 1 July councils will begin collecting the Fire Services Levy for the state government – a charge previously in home insurance policies.

On top of this, rates will rise to cover the effect on council revenue of the federal carbon tax.

The Municipal Association of Vic-toria has cal culated the fi re levy could add 19 per cent to rates bills.

It estimates the carbon price will add a further 1.5 per cent, although the fi gure will vary from 0.7 per cent to more than 3 per cent, the MAV says, depending on factors such as carbon emissions from council landfi lls.

“If all carbon price-related cost in-creases are collected through rates, it could lead to a rise [of] $22 a year or 42 cents a week,” the MAV estimates.

The transfer of the fi re levy to rates creates greater equity. It means all homes will be insured against fi re in the same way that road accident medi-cal costs are paid for by the compul-sory third-party insurance premium included in vehicle registration.

The fi re levy could push rates up 19 per cent, the MAV has calculated.

The change has a positive side. Be-cause fi re insurance will no longer be optional, the cost could drop dramati-cally for some policy-holders as the cost is shared across the state.

The Fire Services Property Levy Act 2012 comes into effect on 1 July. It sets a fi xed fee of $100 for residential prop-erties and $200 for all other property types. The charge is indexed, meaning it will almost certainly rise each year.

In addition, government-set variable charges will apply, based on how prop-erties are defi ned under the Act.

The average shire rate, which rose by slightly more than 4 per cent in 2012-13, will probably rise to between 8 and 11 per cent. Councillors voted for a smaller than usual rise last time be-cause 2012 was an election year.

A rates catch-up this year will be cru-cial. In layman’s terms the shire could be described as “broke” – a description it will vigorously deny – with debt at nearly $50 million and more borrow-ings slated for the next two years.

Councillors recently instructed staff to cut the debt to $20 million by 2017. This will involve considerable pain. In broad terms it means fi nding savings of more than $7 million annually for four consecutive years.

To achieve this, more revenue must be found or deep cuts made to council services and new spending curtailed.

Councils get funds from three sourc-es: Rates and charges ($119.8 million in the current year for the shire), in-cluding fi nes imposed for parking and other infringements. Sale of assets. State and federal grants.

With the exception of last year, rates and char ges have risen sharply for the past decade or so. But each year the shire fudges the size of the rise by an-

nouncing the low “rate” as a tribute to its fi nancial management skills, omit-ting to include the “charges” – a not very subtle pea-and-thimble trick.

Yet documents such as the shire’s monthly report abandon the stratagem: the phrase “rates and charges” is used (see page 164 of the March report, available on the shire website).

Mornington Peninsula Residents and Rate pay ers Association calculates rates and charges have rocketed 128 per cent since 2000-01.

The trajectory of shire debt has been as steep as the Swiss Alps, apart from 2007-11, when debt fell slightly.

Of the charges or fees the shire im-poses, the municipal charge is the most inequitable. It will likely rise at least another $10 this year, to $170.

Some councils, aware of the un-fair burden fl at charges place on their poorest citizens, keep their municipal charge low, in some cases below $20.

For ratepayers who do not or cannot afford to insure their properties, the new $100 fi re levy, plus its unknown (at this stage) variable com ponent is effectively a new state tax, small com-fort for some who will now be covered.

To illustrate the effect of fl at taxes, it was calculated that in this fi nancial year they represented just 0.36 per cent of the shire’s top rates bill of $41,771. For lowest-rated properties, fl at charg-es represented 61.9 per cent of the $242 bill.

These are fi gures and philosophies for coun cillors to consider as they wrestle with the 2013-14 budget, bal-ancing the take from sliding-scale rates against revenue from fl at-rate charges.

TWELVE-year-old Caitlin Robinson is the fi rst swimmer from the newly-formed Peninsula Pelicans Swimming Club at Hastings to win a major event.

Robinson won a gold medal at the Metropolitan All Junior Champion-ships at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.

Club founder and head coach Jess Bird said Robinson, who came 17th in the 12-year-old girls 50m freestyle at the state championships in December, won her event after swimming two personal best times in two days.

“We did it were her fi rst words after she broke the 30 second mark in the semi-fi nal,” Bird said. “It’s a goal she has had her sights set on for some time now.”

“I’ve wanted to break 30 seconds for a year, I’m really excited I have achieved that now” Robinson said.

“The next major competition for us is the Victorian Age Short Course Championships in four months and I am training hard to try to swim an-other PB.

“Before I raced on Saturday [21 April] in the semi-fi nals I told my dad I wanted to get a 29, now I want to get a 28 to qualify for nationals.”

Bird said this was the second season swimmers from the Peninsula Pelicans had competed.

“Caitlin managed to secure her place in the fi nal with a personal best swim of 29.84 seconds. This ranked her fi rst go-ing into the fi nal on Sunday, a great im-provement on her seed time going into the semi’s which placed her fourth.”

First medal First medal for Pelicansfor Pelicans

Personal best: Caitlin Robinson’s personal best for the 50-metres freestyle was also the fastest of any competitor, winning her a gold medal.

Bird said Caitlin, who has been swimming with the club since it began, is one of 20 swimmers at the club.

“She went on to take out fi rst place in another personal best time on Sun-day in the fi nal hitting the wall in 29.39 seconds. She was off to a slow start off the blocks but Cait doesn’t like to be beaten, she really fought home in the end,” she said.

“It is a great morale booster for Cait to achieve this kind of success. She still has a long way to go in her swim-ming career but her determination in the pool is admirable. I really look for-ward to seeing what the future has to hold for her.”

Members of the Peninsula Pelicans are now training for the Victorian Age Championships in August.

By Mike HastVICTORIA needed a container port at Hastings by 2025 but planning would take at least another four years, Port of Hastings Development Authority chief executive Mike Lean says.

Mr Lean was speaking at a commu-nity briefi ng before last week’s Morn-ington Peninsula Shire Council meet-ing at Hastings Hub.

The former Australian Army com-mander, appointed by the state govern-ment in mid-February, said an expand-ed port was needed for the “economic vitality of the state”.

“We have a competitive advantage over Queensland and NSW” both of which had built new container ports.

The fi rst stage would handle fi ve mil-lion TEUs by the mid-2020s. (A TEU, or twenty-foot equivalent, is a measure of capacity in containers, which are ei-ther 20 or 40 feet long.)

“We need to maintain our competi-tive position in the freight industry.”

Mr Lean said it was likely the new port would be centred at Long Island with Western Port Highway as the en-try point. VicRoads would likely up-grade the highway to a freeway.

A key element of the project would be extensive consultation with the com munity, he said.

“Consultation with the community and stakeholders is absolutely vital to us. It’s a critical success factor for the project that we have active, engaged and robust consultation.

“Before full engagement [with the community] we need to scope the pro-ject and determine how best to connect to [the existing] port [as well as] road, rail and industry.

“We need a strong enough plan to capture everybody’s views.

“We clearly recognise we are in a fairly environmentally sensitive area. The majority of the area is Ramsar listed.”

The authority would build on the existing operational port with its long history of marine management – more than 40 years with no major environ-mental issues recorded.

“We will be doing further studies so we have a comprehensive under-standing of the environmental value of the area. We will follow a risk-based process to avoid, minimise, mitigate, manage or offset potential environ-mental impact – in that order.”

Mr Lean said the proposed expan-sion would be assessed under state and federal environmental laws. “We are required to do that under legislation so that’s a given.”

He said it would take four years to complete feasibility studies and re-ports.

“We’ve got our land but we’re not sure which parts we’re going to use yet.”

Building of the port would cost $7-8 billion.

“We have to get it right as it will be there for 200 years.”

PLAN PRINTING SERVICE5983 1927

By Fran HenkePLANNING for roads, the retail cen-tre and Hastings’ future as a port were discussed at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s community council meeting at the renovated Hub on 22 April.

For this former Council Watcher, it was old home week, catching up after fi ve years of “retirement”. A few faces were missing around the council table but admirable replacements have fi lled the seats.

The public gallery was packed with representatives of community groups and the usual suspects lobbying for pet projects. Was that Fred Crump of Mornington still on about errant super-market trolleys? And did the mayor’s brass bell have a crown on the handle?

Sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins had the fl oor longest.

Figures on the impact of Peninsula Link on local roads were interesting.

Mr Atkins said there was a 30 per cent increase in traffi c on Bungower Rd and 35 per cent on Mornington-Tyabb while Frankston-Flinders and Coolart roads had 50 per cent less.

Baxter people, who the mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said had endured the greatest impact, were congratulated for coming together as a community.

A community partnership grant of $5000 was given to the group known as BRATPAC (Baxter Residents and Traders Progress Action Committee), for a barbecue shelter, landscaping and BMX track. A playground had been designed by Baxter children.

Mr Atkins said discussions were be-ing held with VicRoads about freight

routes for Mornington-Tyabb Rd as well as “gaps” in the Bay Trail and along Peninsula Link for foot, dog and bike traffi c.

Mr Atkins said the Hastings Activity Centre Structure Plan would be exhib-ited later in the year.

The commercial centre would be expanded with additional retail space and 500 new dwellings. High St would be “strengthened” with buildings up to three storeys. The current height is two.

Alfred St would be closed to traffi c and landscaped at the cost of the de-velopers of the Aldi and Reject shops, which expect to be open before Christ-mas.

Roads such as Marine Pde, Graydens and Boes roads, which have been de-clared Black Spots would be fi tted with “calming devices” – roundabouts. Ma-rine Pde has seen 11 crashes in the past fi ve years.

Mr Atkins said the federal govern-ment had been asked for $2m for a roundabout at the intersection of Graydens and Boes roads. The result would be known after the government delivers the May budget.

During question time the future of the Otama was raised. While the gov-ernment had approved relocation of the rusting submarine to the end of the Hastings marina, where was the money coming from?

Answer: The Western Port Maritime Memorial Centre group would have to seek the necessary $5m from state, federal and philanthropic bodies.

Meanwhile, funding for CCTV cam-eras for Hastings was sourced by Hast-

ings MP Neale Burgess but red tape had taken longer than expected to un-ravel, Mr Atkins said.

He described how he had to wade through protocols needed from Depart-ment of Justice, police and the owners of the power poles before they could be installed and operated.

The shire was working with police on how to defi ne success of the cam-eras.

Cerberus Ward councillor David Garnock, while praising offi cers for their forward actions, asked what plan-ning was being done for Hastings as an urban growth area. Was infrastruc-ture being planned now or was council waiting for a report in four years?

Mr Atkins assured him all planning was being done now. “With the port on our doorstep we are not going to be surprised. We will be well prepared.”

Cr Bowden asked about graffi ti on shire assets in Hastings (was an anti-graffi ti campaigner in the gallery?).

Mr Atkins said the fi rst maintenance contract was solely for shire assets, but a new one had been expanded to keep track of the nature of graffi ti and deal with it on private property where required.

He said the Department of Justice had a team of people on community service orders helping to remove it.

Cr Bev Colomb ask about the shire’s new website and why weren’t more past council agendas available for the public to examine.

Communications manager Todd Trimble explained that the website was being hosted externally and was not designed to be an archive. Coun-

cil minutes going back to 2010 were available. He promised to see if more could be added.

The new website had been designed to deal with the change in technology. It can be easily accessed on mobile phone, tablets and computers.

Mr Trimble said 65 per cent of the population had smart phones and a third accessed online material on their phones. He believed the shire was the fi rst council to have such a responsive website.

Photographs of lost pets could be posted on the website and tenders ap-plied for online.

In his monthly report, CEO Michael Kennedy said he was closely monitor-ing Melbourne’s plans for population growth from four to six million.

He wanted to ensure it didn’t spill onto the Mornington Peninsula and was continuing to lobby to that end.

Council meetings have moved with the times. Agendas on screen with de-cision lodged on the spot, councillors armed with tablets, answering emails, reading secret council business.

The Hub as a venue was a revela-tion. The building has come a long way and is a handsome addition for the Hastings community. Having attended community meetings in more humble halls in the past it is nice to see that Hastings, a tad left behind, now has this place.

The end of the Hastings Neighbour-hood Renewal project is not far off and council will advertise for new manage-ment of the building, which includes the wonderful Men’s Shed.

Use it or lose it.

HASTINGS Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for witnesses after thieves stole $410,000 worth of farming equipment from a business in Hastings this week.

Investigators have been told offenders broke into the Wallis Drive property sometime between 7pm on Thursday 25 April and 8.30am on Sat-urday 27 April by cutting through a locked gate.

Once inside, the offenders stole a 48ft trailer with registration number 69664S loaded with two JCB forklifts and a “Ciemmecalabria” chick-en catching machine.

Detective Sergeant Ron Fauvel said the victim was devastated by the loss.

“This equipment was his source of income and we are asking members of the public to keep a lookout for the trailer and equipment,” Det Sgt Fauvel said.

Police have released the below photos of the stolen items in the hope that someone may be able to shed some light on the incident.

THE Dolphin Research Institute’s annual fund-raising Walk for Western Port starts at 10am on Sunday.

“We expect many hundreds to take part and for many it will be their fi rst exposure to the wonders of mangroves, mud and seagrass,” the institute’s executive director Jeff Weir said.

“We want to build strong stewardship for our bay with all Victorians.”

Mr Weir said there were two walks “an easy two- or four-kilometre stroll around Hastings Park or a more adventurous seven-kilometre walk from Jacks Beach in Bittern through War-ringine Park on the boardwalk”.

The walk from Jacks Beach starts at 10am

while the shorter foreshore walk begins an hour later at 11am.

Dogs are welcome on the Hastings foreshore but are not allowed in Warringine Park.

Rangers from Warringine Park will accompany and talk with walkers while the dolphin institute will run environmental education programs for families after lunch.

All walkers will fi nish at Hastings for presen-tations of prizes, raffl es and a sausage sizzle.

Entry for both walks is $5 a person and all money raised goes to the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute’s marine education and research programs. Register online at www.dolphinresearch.org.au or call 1300 130 949.

Time to walk: Dog owners took their pets to last year’s Walk for Western Port on Hastings foreshore.

By Keith PlattJOSHUA Sinclair will be the Labor Party’s can-didate for Flinders at the 14 September federal election.

The 21-year-old of Somerville will be contest-ing the seat held since 2001 by the Opposition’s environment spo kes man Greg Hunt.

Mr Hunt, 48, holds the seat for the Liberal Party with a 9.1 per cent majority, making the it “very tough to get into”, according to Mr Sinclair.

Having said that, he is undeterred by the task, quoting the fi ner margin by which another Lib-eral, Bruce Billson, holds the neighbouring seat of Dunkley.

“Labor didn’t do a lot of activity down south in the Flinders electorate before the last election,” Mr Sinclair said.

“But I live in Somerville and know what resi-dents in the electorate worry about.”

He sees Flinders as “a pretty conservative seat”.

He said Labor had “done more for the environ-ment than any political party in history” and was looking forward to “testing my ideas on Greg Hunt at some stage”.

Mr Sinclair attended the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza for primary and secondary schooling and freely admits that his ideas on politics, so-cial justice and the environment differed “with those of most of my classmates, although that’s not necessarily a private or public school thing”.

Mr Hunt was also a student at Peninsula.Last year Mr Sinclair was a candidate in the

Watson Ward elections for Mornington Penin-sula Shire, losing to the now mayor, Cr Lynne Bowden.

“The result was 43 per cent to her 57 per cent [of votes] but it was good experience for me,” Mr Sinclair said.

He joined the Labor Party in 2010, works part-time in a restaurant and one day at week in the

offi ce of the Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, the federal MP for Isaacs, which covers the south-eastern suburbs.

He is nearing completion of a bachelor of arts degree at Monash University and aims for a mas-ters of laws.

He is reluctant to speculate too much about the future.

“Three years ago I would never have imagined I’d be running for federal parliament. When I ap-plied to work at Mr Dreyfus’s offi ce he wasn’t Attorney-General, and now look what’s hap-pened.”

OUR ANZACS

IT is more than 65 years since the guns of World War Two fell silent. But for many Australian veterans, the noises of war are still taking their toll in the form of hearing loss.

This Anzac Day, Australian Hear-ing is raising awareness of the prob-lem of hearing loss among veterans.

One such veteran is Rosebud’s Norm McWhinney, who is well aware of the noise problems associ-ated with warfare after serving be-tween 1944 and 1946.

“I was fi rst accepted into air crew training when I was 18 and was sent to Bradfi eld Park in Sydney for a three-month course,” he said.

“Part of the training included rifl e shooting in a galvanised shed. Be-cause I’m left handed I was put on the end of the line, next to the wall. By the end of the rifl e training, my ears were ringing.

“I visited the doctor, who told me I had done permanent damage and because of this I was unable to con-tinue in the air crew.”

Instead, Mr McWhinney was de-ployed to the ground crew. After a fi ve-month training course he was stationed briefl y at Darwin before moving to Alice Springs to work as an air radio operator.

“While I had a hearing loss, I was still able to perform my job.”

On returning from war service, he went on to study applied chem-istry and industrial management. He worked as a chemist, production manager in a pharmaceutical com-pany and a consultant.

Over the years, however, Mr McWhinney’s hearing loss gradu-ally worsened, eventually leading him to his local Australian Hearing centre for help.

As a client of Australian Hearing in Rosebud, Mr McWhinney now hears with the assistance of hearing aids, an FM system and a wireless headset to watch the TV.

“I fi nd the TV headset particularly useful. Before I would have to watch TV with subtitles but now I can get the whole experience,” he said.

As a keen golfer, Mr McWhinney also fi nds that his hearing aids help him out on the course.

“I play golf regularly, that’s my main hobby. I wear my hearing aids on the course and I can hear conver-sations when playing.”

He is also appreciative of the con-tinued support he has received over the years.

“I’ve received a lot of help from Australian Hearing and have been with them since 1997. They’ve al-ways done the best they can for me.”

Nici Glyde, Manager at Austral-ian Hearing, said the organisation was fi rst established in 1947 to help those returning from battle.

“War veterans are likely to suffer from hearing problems due to hear-ing damage from noise exposure during their war service,” Ms Glyde said.

“The ability to hear enables our veterans to appreciate special oc-casions like Anzac Day and hear the recognition and respect they de-

serve. It also allows our veterans to share their stories with each other, their families and friends.”

“If you think you have a problem it is important to seek help. Most pensioners and veterans are also eli-gible for free and subsidised hearing

services.” If you are concerned about your

hearing, a hearing check is the fi rst step to take. It’s an easy way to fi nd out more about your hearing and what can be done to help.

Australian Hearing Rosebud

(Shop 8/Rosebud Central Shop-ping Centre, Wannaeue Place) and Frankston (Ground Floor, Land-mark Centre, 454 Nepean Highway) are offering free hearing checks for veterans and pensioners. To make an appointment, call 131 797.

Somerville Welcome to

MANY people are prepar-ing to go north for the winter and escape colder Victorian weather.

It is a matter of getting everything in order and prepar-ing the items to be included for your break.

The vehicle has to have a service and new tyres if needed but have you given the caravan its fair share of attention?

The tyres are okay, there is plenty of tread but how old are they? The tyre experts say that any tyre older than 5-6 years should be replaced, regardless of the amount of tread left.

You will fi nd the manufac-ture date on the side of the tyre, usually embossed into it. This is in fact quite cheap insurance.

Have you recently checked your wheel bearings for suf-fi cient grease and wear as well as your brake linings for even wear and will they last for the distance you are travelling?

Most people don’t regard some of the roads as being any different in what they do to our caravans but dirt roads, no matter how slowly you travel, do more damage than a smooth bitumen road. Bearings and brakes are not immune to dust,

which acts as an abrasive on all caravan parts.

If you have not been north before, you will fi nd the fi ne red dust is able to fi nd its way into everything and that in-cludes all of the chassis mov-ing parts as well as all of the items in the front boot, around the fridge and any other area that has an outside vent.

If you have the need to cross water over the road that is more than 200mm (8 inches) deep, then at the next available opportunity check your bear-ings and brakes as they may have been affected, especially if the water crossing came immediately before travelling on a dirt road. Don’t leave it too long.

Some of the things that you may need to consider, as well as the items that you have

decided to take, are:Extra 15 amp lead (some power points are further away than you think).All leads must be tested and tagged at least every 12 months (new rules).Extra water hose and fi t-tings.Snatch strap and spare D shackles (in case you need to be pulled out of a bog).

U-Tow Caravans can service your caravan and we are quali-fi ed to test and tag your electri-cal appliances.

We also have a wide range of caravan accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock St, Somerville. Contact us on www.utowcaravans.com, email: [email protected] or phone 5978 0083 or 0400 777 698.

VENDOR TESTIMONIALRecently I was put into a position where I had to sell my property in Balnarring Beach. It was clear that I would have to engage a real estate agent and although I knew several in the area I rang Sean Crimmins. There were many inspections & the house sold before auction at a very good price. Sean was fantastic. He made me feel comfortable and conducted himself with the utmost integrity. I would highly recommend Bay West, especially Sean if you want caring and honest dealings

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 May 1913. SOMERVILLE was visited by a cy-clonic disturbance on Sunday last, Mr W. Firth having the roof blown off a shed and Mr Joe Unthank losing his fowlhouse. The roof of Mr Firth’s shed, which was of a substantial na-ture, was carried two or three hundred yards, while Mr Unthank’s fowlhouse was blown to pieces, and pieces of 2x3 timber were blown hundreds of yards. Trees in the track of the storm were uprooted in all directions, and the roar of the wind could be heard a consider-able distance. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Foot-ball Club acknowledges with thanks the following donations :-Messrs H. Masterton and G. W. Booth £l 1s each, K. D. McKenzie £1, R. Walker 5s. ***THE many friends of the Rev Father O’Hagan will be pleased to learn that he is at present enjoying to the full the one month’s holiday granted him in Sydney. *** MR Jack Murphy, the popular secre-tary of the Mornington Football Club, left for Sydney on Monday last, for one month’s holiday. Mr G. T. Jenkins will act as secretary to the club until the return of Mr Murphy. *** MR P. O’Grady, who was recently transferred to Frankston to replace Guard Bourne, was entertained by his Seymour friends last week. A con-vivial time was spent, and during the evening Mr O’Grady was presented with a beautiful gold watch and gold

sovereign case, and Mrs O’Grady was the recipient of a handsome silver cake basket. *** DURING the past fortnight Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, has resold from his last purchase of building allotments, which he a few weeks ago purchased from the local land and estate agents, Messrs Brody and Mason, to well known country traders, all of whom propose building on their respective blocks and using same as summer residences. *** WE have been asked to announce that the Frankston band will again appear in public in Frankston this (Saturday) evening. The band, under the tuition of Mr Hammond, have made rapid pro-gress with their music, thus enabling them to play some splendid selections to-night. *** WE have been asked to announce that through an error the fi rst of the St. Paul’s winter socials at Frankston was announced for a wrong date. It has been fi xed for Thursday of next week (8th inst.) The charge for admis-sion will be 1s. The social will begin at 8.15 p.m. Refreshments will be pro-vided. A short dance will follow. *** A MOST enjoyable time was spent at the smoke night had in connection with the Mornington Football Club on Friday night last in the Mechanics’ Institute. Mr G. T. Jenkins (vice-presi-dent) and about 50 members were also present. The evening’s programme consisted in playing cards, draughts, parlor games, etc. During the evening the trophies for last season were pre-sented by Mr Jenkins to the winners

amidst great enthusiasm. Mr Jack-son’s trophy valued £1 is for the best all round player was awarded to Mr G. Wilson. Major Campbell’s (gold med-al) for best improved player was won by Mr S. Garlick, and Mr Kreyts tro-phy (gold medal) for second best im-proved player was awarded to Mr W. Sanderson. The musical programme contributed to by Messrs Edwards, F. Harrap, J. Garlick and others was highly appreciated, and the ample sup-ply of refreshments was all that could be desired. ***SOME of the cadets stationed at the military camp here have gained, amongst other experiences, some idea of what it feels like being under fi re. Although in this instance the missiles were only saltpetre, still the sting was there, and it is doubtful if a sumptuous feast of apples was worth the expri-ence. In future the military arrange-ments should be such that orchardists in proximity to this camp should have some protection. As it is they have to stand an invasion and have their fruit commandeered. As fruit is so cheap, perhaps the ration list could include an unlimited supply of fruit, and thus give this fresh added worry on the al-ready much worried fruit grower.

Although the export fruit arriving at oversea ports has not, so far, realised high prices, still some encouraging re-sults have been obtained. This particu-larly applies to the fruit packed and despatched by the A.C.E Co, from thi-er packing shed at Somerville. From returns available their brand of fruit has sold up to 1s 9s per case ahead of ordinary consignments.

Evidently this new company has been started on the right lines and

should in the future claim due atten-tion from all fruitgrowers.

The anniversary services in connec-tion with the Methodist Church here passed off very successfully.

There was a good attendance at the last fortnightly meeting of the lo-cal Progress Association, and a good many matters of local importance were discussed and dealt with. It was also arranged to hold working bees to do some necessary clearing on a pri-vate road leading to the camp and thus enable the shire council to take it over. *** THE concert held in aid of the Bal-narrning tennis club was only fairly attended, which was held on the 18th in the local hall, the same night as the Branch of the A.N.A., was opened at the Naval Base. Mr Phillips, the chief president, and Mr Crossbie, one of the Board of Directors, came from town to perform the opening ceremony. Mr Vincent was appointed President, and Mr Crossbie secretary, and about 40 became members. The night passed off very pleasantly with songs and recitations until about twelve o’clock. *** POTATO digging is in full swing in this disrict, fi ve and six tons per acre being the general crop. They are a splendid sample, and are bringing very good prices in Melbourne – as high as £7 5s per ton. There is a big demamd for potato land in this district at pre-sent. The market gardeners at Chel-tenham are prepared to buy all seed grown in this district, as they say it is a great change out of this chocolate soil. *** AS arranged, the Land Board sat in the council chamber on Tuesday last, to take evidence for and against

the proposed tip at the water reserve known as Black’s Camp. Mr Brenuan, of the Land Department, was chair-man. Crs Cole, Murray and Griffeth gave evidence for the selected site and Mrs Gommsen, Messrs H Gommsen, D Puckle, Geo Gomm, Roper and T Thornell spoke against the idea. Most of the residents objected on the ground of the pollution of their wa-ter holes and consequent infection of cows and stock, with liklihood of disease germs being spread through the township. The evidence has to be printed and forwarded to the Minister of Lands. Mr Duncan presented a peti-tion against the proposed site as a tip, signed by 36 residents, most of whom as he stated would be affected directly in their water supply. *** MR John Kelleher, formerly of Sealake, has been appointed rabbit inspector for this district, and is now at Mornington. The district under his supervision extends from between Aspendale, and Mordialloc to Point Nepean and includes the Shires of Mornington, Frankston and Hastings, Flinders and Kangerong, and part of Dandenong. Mr Kelleher is a fi rm be-liever that the digging out of burrows is the surest way to exterminate rab-bits. For poisoning, there is nothing so good, in his opinion, as apples and strychnine or carrots and strychnine, the rabbit being given at least three un-poisoned feeds. During his stay here, Mr Kelleher will be only too pleased to give any information regarding rab-bit destruction. *** MRS Riley, our post mitress. is leav-ing this district, and Mr M Hurley is taking her place.

GUEST speaker Chris Rekdale will tell the story of the wall hangings at Hastings Community Hub at the next coffee morning of Hastings-Western Port Historical Society.

The event is at 10.15am on Thursday 2 May at Hastings Museum, corner Marine Pde and Skinner St.

Shirley Davies of the society said the wall hangings had involved many residents demonstrating their skills and had beautifi ed the hub.

“The quarterly morning coffees have featured many topics over the years and the funds raised go toward the society’s projects,” she said.

Entry is $5 a person and there is a door prize as well as a small selection of cottage garden plants for sale.

Book with Ann on 0448 023 287 or Shirley on 9781 1141.

Perrotts assembleThe call went out to descendants of the Perrott family to come to Hastings on 9 April and meet their cousin, Carolyn and her husband who were visiting from Kangaroo Island.

Carolyn is the only daughter of the late Mavis Perrott and her late husband Ivan Ellson who managed a guesthouse at Kangaroo Island.

The gathering was held at Hastings Museum with Perrott family memorabilia on display

including photos, documents and certifi cates.

An item that attracted attention was a tablecloth with signatures of the Perrott family who had gathered at Hastings in 1988 at the fi rst reunion of the clan.

Frederick George Perrott owned a butcher’s shop at Hastings for many years, later taken over by his sons and then his grandsons.

Mr Perrott had an abattoir at Hastings near Pound Rd. He was also involved in local affairs and was a councillor of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings including a term as shire president in 1905.

For more details, contact Shirley Davies (Frederick

George Perrott’s great-granddaughter) on 9781 1141.

Museum visitorsA walking group from Nunawading recently had a day in the Hastings area, walking along the foreshore to Jacks Beach and return.

They visited Hastings Museum and enjoyed seeing the artefacts on display, including the 1864 Armstrong 40-pounder gun.

On Thursday 18 April, a coach-load of visitors on a Fun Lovers Tour visited the museum, including the Pioneers Cottage.

Groups are welcome to visit the museum. For details, call 0448 023 287.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

By Stuart McCulloughWE were celebrating the birthday of my niece. Matilda was turning seven and the family had gathered at the farm to mark the occasion. Given that this was likely to be the last of the nice weather, we decided to eat outdoors. Under the sailcloth near the barbecue were a number of tables loaded with all manner of food. But just as we prepared to swarm around lunch, a large number of European wasps got in fi rst. Within seconds, they were everywhere. I blame social media.

I assume that the insects had heard about Matilda’s birthday through face-book and decided to turn up en masse and uninvited. However, we take a strict approach to gatecrashers and my father immediately sprang into ac-tion. Rather than retreat, he decided to wage war against the interlopers, dispatching one of grandkids to go and fetch the Glad Wrap. But while cover-ing the food in plastic prevented direct access, it did little to deter the wasps who continued to gather in ever-larger numbers, presumably with a view of using a battering ram to get through the cling wrap veneer. But my father refused to concede defeat.

In this world, there are two types of families. There are those for whom the fl y swat is their weapon of choice, to send various creepy crawlies from this world into the next. These people may well be Amish and avoid buttons.

We, however, are people of science and use fl y spray. Clutching twin cans of Mortein like a gunfi ghter, our fa-ther began spraying the wasps without

mercy. Given that they were in the midst of trying to break through the protective layer of Glad Wrap, this meant unleashing a torrent of insec-ticide on the various serving dishes containing lunch.

Although the sun was shining, as it so often does in Tyabb, the wind was blowing also and a steady stream of spray soon began to make my broth-ers and sisters feel a little unsteady. It was, of course, not the fi rst time I’d seen such mayhem.

When we were kids, insect spray was practically a condiment, right up there with mayonnaise and mustard. At the slightest rattle of a blowfl y, my father would be off to fetch the can. Without exception, the insect would be loitering around the dinner table as that’s where all the interesting stuff

was. Like a sniper, he would stand, can poised, trying to make visual con-tact. Once he did, my father would issue a general warning to cover our food before letting loose. You could see the particles of spray drifting down through the atmosphere towards your plate and glass.

Attempts to cover our food were eventually abandoned as we devel-oped a taste for it. Indeed, I can barely bring myself to eat anything without the tang of chemicals and pine needles I knew and loved as a child.

In some respects, the fl y spray was the least of our worries. Other family favourites included being invited to eat without a plate. Usually, this was a biscuit or some other snack rather than a full meal. The offer of going sans plate was an attempt at a kind of

laissez faire informality that was ordi-narily beyond us as the idea of eating anything without a plate was generally considered a notch below anarchy. But there was always a catch.

While we were invited to throw cau-tion to the wind, we could not do the same with our crumbs and were forced to eat standing over the sink. While this severely detracted from the devil may care thrill of going “plateless”, we were too in awe of the occasion to complain. I may whinge about it now, but to this day I fi nd myself compelled to stand, leaning like Pisa, over the sink as I eat a piece of toast. It’s a sad state of affairs.

But of all the things that were a fea-ture of our childhood, none has left a more indelible mark than this: the lickspittle grime removal method. It’s

a substantial irony in that the whole point of the lickspittle method was to remove otherwise indelible marks from your face.

For those unfamiliar with it, the lick-spittle method involved a parent spit-ting into a handkerchief (or similar), then using the now moistened rag to wipe your face. As an adult and with the benefi t of hindsight, this sounds like one of the most disgusting things you could possibly do to another hu-man being, a step short of water boarding but ten times worse than a wet willy.

Today’s kids would, no doubt, be slack-jawed in shock at the fact that such things ever occurred. These days, parents are loaded up with all kinds of moistened wipes that have made the art of projecting your saliva into an ancient snot rag largely a thing of the past. But as disgusting as it was, it taught you a lot about life. It also taught you to never trust a handker-chief.

As the wasps swarmed around us and Mortein gushed into the atmos-phere, I instinctively fell down and be-gan spinning in a circle. As the haze of the spray drifted off into the breeze, I looked up to see all the members of my family gazing down in shock. I had reacted in haste. As I got to my feet, I felt a deep sense of embar-rassment. In fact, you might say that there was egg all over my face. As I stood, glowing with shame, my father reached into his pocket, pulled out a handkerchief before quickly spitting in it and saying, “Come here.”

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntHASTINGS is fi nally on the scoreboard in Nepean League and has given itself a kick start after dominating Devon Meadows all afternoon to win by 75 points.

After a week of team building, which included getting together for the Dawn Service on ANZAC Day, the Blues were able to put the spirit and determination of the ocassion to the test on Saturday and really hammer the opposition.

Not only did the Blues win by almost 13 goals, it was the way in which they did it that would have impressed coach Glenn Michie.

The Blues restricted the opposition to just four goals. The fi nal score was 17.10.112 to 4.13.37.

And it was a handful of the players who have not given the side a lot in the fi rst three rounds that were able to bob-up and add some real value.

Luke Hewitt is a very capable player and he contributed four goals. Will Jolley got into the swing of things and hit the scoreboard, Josh Mulheron really dominated in the ruck and worked hard around the ground, Paul Rogasch found some rhythm and Jason Kestle was back to his old self across half back, defending fi rst and then driving his team forward.

Coach Glenn Michie was also able to provide some of the zip we haven’t seen for a while and he contributed three goals.

The Blues developed a reputation last season and it continued into this season as being a team that ran well offensively but didn’t want a bar of it when the ball was going the other way.

On Saturday they were able to correct that. The likes of Taylor Stratton and Andy Kiely continued their brilliant starts and Tony Mirabella made it 20 goals in the fi rst four matches.

On paper, the Blues are a very good side. We just need to start seeing some consistency in passion, effort and willingness to work in what is a very even season.

Crib Point is fi nally on the board after smashing Tyabb by more than 10 goals on Saturday.

Its been a very lean beginning for the Magpies and despite some ‘whacking’ from yours truly, they haven’t been able to respond until now.

Everyone loves to see the Magpies up and about and they certainly were

on the weekend.It was tight in the fi rst half with the

Pies leading at home by just eight points at the major break.

However, the Pies were let off the leash in the second half and dominated.

It seems everyone got involved. Former Crib Point junior Jake Ross snagged six goals in his best performance since crossing from Hastings, Jon Flack helped himself to fi ve majors, Luke Herrington chipped-in with four and Matty Sloper got amongst the goals for the second week in a row with three.

Without a couple of their stars, including James Cook, the Pies were able to really turn on what we had expected from them all season.

Waide Symes was outstanding for the winners, as was Zak Dekleuver, who has been a consistent performer for the Pies. Lee Koerner was also given the responsibility of being the number one ruckman, which he lapped-up.

Ryan Jones worked tirelessly for the Yabbies, as did Craig Conlan, who is in super form. Skipper Ethan Rahilly

also tried his best with a couple of goals.

Frankston Bombers and Rye went to the wire, the Bombers winning their second close game in as many weeks against good opposition.

The Bombers have been able to beat two sides that played fi nals last season and now remain undefeated at the top of the table.

On Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve, the Bombers led by 14 points at quarter time, by one point at half time and by seven points at three quarter time.

Rye had plenty of chances to win the game in the last quarter, however, the Bombers were just more composed when it mattered, winning 15.8.98 to 14.10.94.

It was the older heads of Bombers, especically twins Ryan and Nathan Lonie that proved to be the difference between the sides.

Coach Duncan Proud was able to get forward and boot a couple of goals, while youngsters in Matt Harris and Anthony Fulton booted three and two goals respectively.

Aaron Hunter has also been

unassuming this season for the Bombers and he was good yet again.

Sean Cain was outstanding for the Demons with three goals and Darren Booth, as we have come to expect, won a lot of his own ball.

Ben Holmes kicked four goals and Ben Winters-Kerr managed to slot through a couple, while Hagan Rice did his job to perfection.

Rosebud won its second game in the past three weeks with 10 goals, this time against Somerville.

The Buds booted eight goals in the fi rst half, however, were outscored by the Eagles 4.3 to 2.11 after the major interval, sneaking over the line by 21 points, 10.16.76 to 8.9.57.

Lachy Armstrong has been an underutilised forward for the Buds this season, despite boasting enoumous ability. However, on Saturday, he was sort-out by the Rosebud mids and fi nished with three goals to be the major contributor on the ground and one of his team’s best.

Ben Shultz snagged two while Matty Payne and Greg Bentley were the dominant performers on the

ground yet again. Sam Krumeich is a very underrated player for the Buds in defence but his game again on the weekend was fi rst class.

The Eagles were gallant in defeat. Rowan Hogenbirk and Ben Sedgewick led from the front and Jedd Sutton was elusive. Justin Farrelly was also outstanding in the ruck.

Dromana continued its destructive form, smashing Red Hill to the tune of 125 points.

The Tigers have been devastating since losing to Sorrento on Easter Saturday, belting Hastings, Pearcedale and now the Hillmen.

On Saturday up on the wide open spaces of Red Hill, the Tigers had 44 scoring shots to just nine and boasted 11 different goalkickers.

Anthony Bruhn booted six, Adam Loury contributed fi ve and Daniel Waddell kicked three.

Jarred Wood was solid in defence, Luke O’Neil dominated in the ruck and gave his small brigade fi rst option and Paul Minchington continued his dominant start to the season.

It was a very long afternoon for the Hillmen.

Jake Mold, Robbie Mace and Mitch LaFontaine were the best performers for the Hillmen.

Sorrento completed the expected and beat Pearcedale, however, it didn’t come before a scare from the Panthers.

The Panthers had an outstanding second quarter, where it booted seven goals to two to lead at half time by eight points.

However, as expected, the Sharks came out after the break and showed that brilliant form that can turn a game on its head.

Sorrento booted nine goals in the third quarter to just one, Leigh Poholke brilliant with seven goals while Ryan Jeffrey dominated across half forward.

Guy Stringer rebounded from down back while through the middle, the likes of Leigh Treeby and Cayden Beetham got their hands on the footy.

At three quarter time the Sharks had gone from being eight points down to being 47 points in front.

The Panthers rallied in the fi nal term and went with the opposition. Pat Heijden was outstanding with seven goals while Chris Fortnam fi nished with four. Chris Hensby played his best game for his new club and Byron Hoe showed glimpses of his best.

INTERLEAGUEBy Toe Punt

The fi rst squad has been announced for the Peninsula League interleague campaign.

A squad of 44 players was selected by Peninsula League coach Steve Ryan and assistant Troy Shannon.

Peninsula League will play Ovens & Murray at Visy Park on May 25.

The Nepean League squad is almost completed and will be announced later this week, being compiled by coaches Gavin Artico and Glenn Michie.

One thing is consistent with

all coaches. If players don’t want to represent their league, they don’t want them to play.

Ryan told the RPP Footy Show last Saturday that it was important that Peninsula League had a squad and ultimately 22 players who wanted to represent the league.

“Interleague football is a wonderful opportunity for every player in the competition. I loved playing it,” the former Richmond and Collingwood forward said.

“Ultimately, we want the best possible 22 players in the side who really want to represent their league,” Ryan said.

Gavin Artico agreed.“If players don’t want to play,

we don’t want to waste their time and we don’t want them to waste ours,” Artico said.

“We all talk about what league is better – Peninsula or Nepean.

“Whilst we’re not in the same division, this does present an opportunity for us to work towards that.

Peninsula League will have a meet and greet at Langwarrin’s Lloyd Park on May 1 at 6pm, before training begins at the same venue on May 8.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntTHE race is on for a top fi ve place in Peninsula League after the round four results highlighted the fact that we have a very even competition.

Coming into the season, many assumed a number of things about the upcoming season.

1. Mt Eliza would slide after losing some sensational players.

2. Bonbeach and Edi-Asp would improve considerably given they had maintained and added to their lists.

3. Mornington would be the big mover given the extended talent it was able to add to its list.

4. Seaford would be an exciting but inconsistent side given its youth.

5. Pines would take another step considering its youngsters were another year older and the depth of the list had improved.

6. Frankston YCW would be the yardstick of the competition

7. Karingal’s spirit would continue to drive it to success, despite the fact it was still some key players away from the ultimate success.

Well, after four matches in the Peninsula League season, it appears that while some of these assumptions were spot-on, there were others that still had question marks over them.

On Saturday, Mt Eliza staged a wonderful last quarter to get the chocolates over Bonbeach to the tune of 18 points.

Now, on predictions, this was a turn-up.

In a see-sawing battle all afternoon, the Redlegs booted fi ve goals to two

in the fi nal term to win 12.11.83 to 9.11.65.

Ben Lean and Dave Willett each kicked four goals for the winners while Rohan Heasley continued his dominant start to the season. Karl Lombardozzi has also been a considerable asset to the club since returning and Josh Norman and Rob D’Orazio found the form that saw the Redlegs play in a grand fi nal last season.

Despite being at home, the Sharks couldn’t stop the run-on of the Redlegs.

Dylan Jones continues to be a stand-out in the ruck for the red, white and black and Shaun Foster and Mark Tyrell have been in outstanding form.

It was the elusiveness of the Redlegs’ small forwards though that hurt the Sharks and it’s something that coach Stevey Capp will need to address in the coming weeks.

Mornington continued its outstanding start to the season and maintained its position in second place on the table after a resounding victory over Chelsea.

The Seagulls are the only team in the competition not to have won a game in the fi rst four rounds.

On Saturday, the Gulls conceded 15 scoring shots in the opening quarter against the breeze at Alexandra Park.

However, it was able to hit back against the Doggies in the second quarter and trailed by 27 points at the halfway mark of the match.

It was all Mornington in the second half, however, winning 19.22.136 to 10.8.68.

Adrian Speedy was clearly the best

player on the ground with fi ve goals playing through the middle and pinch hitting in attack. Speedy’s start to the 2013 season has been as good as anyones in the competition.

James Cameron is a very underated player outside of the kennel and once again he was able to destroy the opposition on the scoreboard with four majors.

Byron Holt was superb in the ruck for the winners and provided fi rst option to his smaller brigade and Warwick Miller dominated on the wing, as he has done in every match this season.

Don’t be surprised to see Miller leading the league medal at the halfway mark before he jumps on a plane and heads overseas.

Emilio Bitters has been one of the pick-ups of the season, joining the Doggies from Somerville. His ability to win the hardball and dispose of it neatly under pressure is a highlight of his game.

The Gulls had few winners. Ryan Stewart, the skipper, is always going to give you everything he has to help you win a game of footy.

Joel Connelly is another who has been in the hoops for a long time and gives his all consistently, while Matty Ponton works tirelessly. Fia Tootoo has been an outstanding recruit and continues to fl y the fl ag for his team.

Other than that, there are some other recruits that really need to look within themselves and determine what their worth is to the side.

Pines dominated Langwarrin in the second half of its match at Lloyd Park

to record a comfortable 17.20.122 to 9.10.64 victory.

Scores were locked at quarter time, however, the Pythons booted 14 goals to six after the fi rst change to win comfortably.

Dale Tedge was once again on fi re for the winners, booting fi ve goals, while Beau Hendry continues to rise in stature. It’s Beau’s consistency that is the difference in his game and he is quickly becoming one of the dominant big men in the competition.

Jake Prosser was also up against his old club and despite a limited pre-season, he was able to have a real impact on the game for the Pythons.

It was the same old players that did the work for the Kangas – namely Daniel Wehner and Shane Urbans.

Dan Riley worked hard across half back, along with Jack O’Shea, however, the Kangas would have been devastated with the result.

After a few years of ‘developing’ they should be on par with Pines. However, once again, it was proven that they are a long way off it.

In the traditional Frankston RSL clash, Frankston YCW maintained its psycological edge over Karingal, leading all afternoon to win 10.19.79 to 9.9.63.

The scoreboard looked a lot worse for the Bulls at the halfway mark, having just one goal at the main break, while the Stonecats had six majors.

The Bulls hit back in the third and the margin was just eight points at the fi nal change.

With the aid of the breeze in the last, the Stonecats peppered the goals for a return of 2.8, while the Bulls added

two straight.Kyle Hutchison, Brad Ulms with

two goals and Tony Lester were the best of the Stonecats, while Kristain Bliesner was outstanding in the ruck for the Bulls, while Sam McGarry (three goals) and Luke Van Raay also provided plenty of drive and some goal scoring options.

Inaccurate kicking is bad football. On Saturday at Seaford Reserve, Edithvale-Aspendale had 17 scoring shots in a dominant opening term against Seaford but could only manage a return of 5.12.

The Eagles fi nished the match with 31 scoring shots to Seaford’s 24.

The fi nal winning margin was 18 points in favor of the Tigers, 15.9.99 to 8.23.71.

It wasn’t only inaccuracy that cost the Eagles, it was Seaford’s defencive pressure after quarter time that stemmed the tide.

The reality is that after the fi rst quarter, Seaford outscored the Eagles 12.8 to 3.11.

Seaford dominated the match with Tommy Shaw (fi ve goals), Aaron Walton (four goals) and Brayden Irving (four goals) dominating.

16-year-old Rourke Fisher was also outstanding for the winners and Damien Lawrence with two goals was signifi cant in the win.

Stevey and Timmy Mannix were at their best for the Eagles and Zac Muschialli worked hard, however, they just didn’t look like kicking enough goals after the fi rst change.

The Eagles have been a little disappointing after their fi rst victory over Chelsea.

Hastings Football Club’s Hastings Football Club’s team of the centuryteam of the century


By John WatsonTHE most successful club in the his-tory of Mornington Peninsula football has announced its team of the century spanning 1900 to 1999.

Hastings revealed the team as well as 11 teams of the decade spanning 1900 to 2009 to more than 300 past and present football and netball play-ers, offi cials, supporters and their fam-

ilies during a function at Mornington Racing Club on 6 April.

The Blues have played in 31 grand fi nals for a record 21 premierships, and team of the century members were part of 60 fl ags.

The event was a chance to acknowl-edge the outstanding contribution that so many great players have made to the club since it was formed in 1887.

The team of the century contains the best 22 players, coach and assistant coach to have represented the club in the 20th century.

The announcement of 11 teams of the decade gave the club the chance to acknowledge the large number of great players who could not be fi tted into the team of the century.

Life memberships were awarded to men who had played 200 games – Ian Creasey, John Murphy, Shane Sparey, Darryl Pratt and Simon Forward – and to recognise their outstanding service to the club.

Many people at the event said it was the best function ever held by the club, made special by the attendance of so many past champions, including some of the best to ever play football on the peninsula.

A warm reception was extended to a former coach from the early 1960s, Felix Strachov, who with his wife had driven from Adelaide. He was delight-ed to renew old friendships from 50 years ago.

The team was selected from the 100-year period starting in 1900 and all liv-ing members in the team were at the event including club greats Bob Stone, aged 87, and George Slocombe, 93, as well as relatives of VFL/AFL legend John Coleman, who many experts agree is football’s greatest ever player.

Although unable to be present, a special tribute was paid to Hastings identity Janice Danaher for her tre-

mendous loyalty to the club over the past 65 years; she was acknowledged as the club’s number one supporter of the century.

The team of the century was sug-gested by Kevin Miles. With the as-sistance of renowned Hastings Foot-ball Club historian Vic Jeremiah and his extensive archives of the club’s history, he provided selectors with

information to enable selection of the 22 players as well as the coach and as-sistant coach.

It was a very diffi cult task consider-ing the outstanding players who have represented the club over a century.

The success of the night was a fi tting reward for the countless hours put in by the pair.
