CCTV cameras urged for RyeBY LEE OPITZ and SAMANTHA ROBIN

ABOUT 2000 residents have signed a petitioncalling on Mornington Peninsula Shire Councilto install closed circuit television cameras inRye.

Residents say ongoing violence and vandal-ism has been a problem in the area for years,and with ever-increasing numbers of visitors tothe Mornington Peninsula they fear the prob-lem will only get worse.

Petition organiser Jennifer Ellen, who livesopposite Rye Park, said fights and other anti-social behaviour were a weekly occurrence inthe area throughout the year.

‘‘While incidents are a lot worse during theholiday period, there are fights every week-end.’’

Ms Ellen said she had reported many incid-ents to police, and the death of 22-year-oldDavid Cassai following an altercation at Ryeon New Year’s Eve showed how big the prob-lem was.

‘‘CCTV cameras would certainly be a

deterrent. I was told by one officer that theonly way they would be installed is if someonewas killed. Someone has, so perhaps some-thing now will be done.’’

Mornington Chamber of Commerce andIndustry president Judy Edwards said thechamber installed CCTV camera in MainStreet some years ago, but found the ongoingelectricity costs to be ‘‘astronomical’’.

‘‘The present chamber has passed theresponsibility of the cameras to the shire, andregrets having being involved in the firstplace.’’

Mornington police sergeant Ilena Pucar saidCCTV cameras were an invaluable tool.

‘‘We only have the cameras in Main Street,but they are such a good resource in our trou-ble spots, particularly on Friday and Saturdaynights,’’ she said.

‘‘The ones in Main Street are sent straight tothe station. We can move the cameras to focuson different areas and they are there for us toview 24/7. I would highly recommend them.’’

In a written report to the council, the shire’s

manager environment protection and com-munity safety Claire Smith stated CCTV cam-eras had helped catch criminals after anoffence had occurred and, as part of an overallcrime reduction strategy, could improve thesafety of the community.

Ms Smith stated the installation and opera-tion of a CCTV system required the co-operation of several stakeholders including thestate government, police and the council, priv-ate property owners and support of agenciesincluding electricity providers.

A spokeswoman for Mornington MP DavidMorris said that in 2011 the state governmenthad provided funding for the installation ofCCTVs in Mt Martha and Mt Eliza and ‘‘atthis stage the council is still working throughthe processes’’. ‘‘They need the co-operation ofthe private property owners and the energycompanies for the power poles.’’

Council officers will provide a report forcouncil to consider detailing the logisticalaspects and the benefits and costs of a CCTVsystem in Rye.

Re: Submarine survey: ‘bring it ashore’As an ex-Otama sailor, it’s great to hear of somemovement regarding this great Australian icon.

She served Australia well, conducting Cold Warpatrols in the ’80s. She needs to be brought ashore— like yesterday — as she cannot sit in the waterfor much longer. Like in the movie Field of Dreams,build it and they will come. Wally Wallen (via web)

I am also an ex-Otama sailor. Bring this lady home.It is a disgrace to see her in the condition she is now.

Re: No tanks, we’ll use bottlesCome on Mr Dixon — ageing buildings [Moo-rooduc Primary School] that let the rain in, class-rooms which would exceed the building regulationsfor student numbers if only the government wasn’texempt from its own rules, take-home readers thatare older than many parents, a music room thatcan’t be used to teach music, a hall with doors thatcan’t be fixed open and so slam in the wind, poten-tially taking little fingers with them, hand washing

that only runs on bore water coming into anotherflu and gastro season ... not a good look for yourgovernment is it? Step up and put in the funding fornew buildings as was originally promised to theschool community.

Re: Labor backs sacked Chisholm chiefThis is hardly surprising. The attitude of this gov-ernment is that Victoria is its playground to dowith as it will. Any perceived opposition is met byswift retribution.

Re: Ship comes in for HastingsPremier Denis Napthine is able to find $110 mil-lions in May’s budget for the planning and develop-ment of the Port of Hastings, while the governmentcut great chunks out of the TAFE budget.

One can only shake one’s head in disbelief atplans to extend port activities at Hastings to thetune of $110 million over four years. The dangersof the massive increase of maritime activities inWestern Port will without doubt eventually lead tosome accidental collision or other accident betweenships, leading to an oil spill in the bay. This is the

worst body of water for such a calamity to occur, asan oil spill would devastate the northern tidalmudflats and bird feeding grounds in the bay. Allbeaches around Western Port would be in greatdanger of pollution. And as shown in the Shapiroreport on tidal movements in Western Port, a greatmany areas around the bay would be impactedseverely.

The $110 million would be better spent oneducating young people on the peninsula or bypromoting and encouraging new industries likerenewable energy research and manufacturing.

The fact that the old BHP plant at Hastings isslowly winding down business should be a goodincentive for the government to look at attractingalternative employment and training to Hastings.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Re: Ship comes in at HastingsHow can this state government give $110 millionfor the Port of Hastings when our paramedicscannot get a pay rise? It’s a joke: one group savelives, the other will be backed by the many billionsof dollars of the private sector who sit in their ivorytowers earning gross money for doing nil.

Why does Peninsula Waste Management want to establish a landfill on the old Pioneer site? The facts � PWM will apply for permits to operate a landfill within a few weeks. The Shire and the EPA will make the final decision on the proposal. � The site is not at Arthurs Seat. It is approximately four kilometres away on the eastern edge of Dromana, an ideal central location to serve the peninsula. � About 70 trucks a day will use the site. They will cause minimal impact or disruption as Boundary Road currently carries 2300 vehicles a day. � The depth of the pit and the relative narrowness of its mouth make control of dust and odour much easier. � The pit will incorporate lining almost three metres thick. � Waste will be covered at the end of each day minimising litter and odour. � Gas produced by the waste will be recycled to generate electricity which will power the site and also be sent to the power grid. � A sophisticated fire management plan will be in place and PWM will work closely with the CFA. � The site will not receive household recyclables and scrap metal will be sorted and sent for recycling. � Alternative waste management systems such as incineration are extremely expensive for ratepayers. � The site is very well screened by the quarry walls and trees and will not be visible by any neighbours who all live some distance away. � Once the pit is full the land will be rehabilitated, revegetated and returned to close to its pre-quarry state.

A Community Reference Group has been formed to pass information between PWM and the community. Information about the CRG and technical details are available on the PWM website peninsulawaste.com.au

The Peninsula Waste Management site at 121 Boundary Road Dromana.

In 1998 when the site was purchased it was already earmarked as a potential replacement for the Rye tip. The Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Management Group - a State Government statutory body - lists the site as the only replacement for the Rye landfill, which has been operating for more than 20 years and is nearly full. Without a landfill on the peninsula council trucks carrying waste will have to travel to Werribee or Deer Park. This alternative will use large amounts of fossil fuel, putting tonnes of unnecessary carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Transporting the waste over such long distances will also come at a cost to ratepayers.The volume of the pit is 3.5 million cubic metres, the nearest home is at least half a kilometre from the pit and most trucks will travel to the site via the freeway so there will be little or no disruption to residents.Best practice technology will be used to manage the landfill, ensuring minimal impact on residents.

Ambos quit over ‘stress’

Job support: Suzanne and Brendon Childers with their children Jordi, 5, and Jamie, 2.Picture: Gary Sissons

BY LEE OPITZ

‘‘We are the highesttrained in the country.And yet we are thelowest paid.’’

— Brendon Chivers

MOUNTING pressure and poor payis forcing a record number of para-medics to consider quitting, say localambos Suzanne and Brendon Chivers.

The Frankston South couple areappealing for the public to supportunion negotiations with the state gov-ernment for better pay and conditionsto help stem an exodus of experiencedparamedics from the service.

The Ambulance Employees Associ-ation Victoria (AEA-Vic) says 81 percent of members surveyed said thereweren’t enough paramedics to coverVictoria’s existing needs and that 1500of then — more than half of the ambu-lance service — were preparing to quitover the next five years.

“We want the public to know thestate of the ambulance service today.Every year our workload increasesabout 5-10 per cent, but our resourcesare nowhere keeping pace. Morale isthe lowest I’ve seen since I’ve been onthe job. The workload is so big, crewsare just going from job to job. They

are tired all the time and this is impact-ing on their personal life. We need atleast another 200 paramedics in theservice.’’

Mr Chivers, who is based at Rose-bud, said experienced personnel andnew recruits were leaving the job.

‘‘We are the highest trained in thecountry, up there with the best on theworld, and yet we are the lowest paid.The turnover is at the point where theexperience base is getting lower andlower, and the sacrifices are beginningto outweigh job satisfaction.’’

Mrs Chivers said the pressure onnew graduates was unfair. ‘‘There canbe an ambulance with two qualifiedparamedics on board and they might

have just 18 months’ experiencebetween them.

‘‘And they recently brought in apolicy that allows graduate studentswho are technically qualified but stillin training, to be sent out to a priority[job] by themselves if necessary. Thatwould put any of us under strain, letalone someone new to the job.

‘‘We love this work, and we knewwhat we were getting into. But the factis that everyone is overworked andtired and we not getting paid what weshould.

‘‘All we want is wage parity with therest of the country and recognition forthe work we do.’’

AEA-Vic has met Ambulance Vic-toria 23 times since August last year totry and reach agreement, the latestbeing last Wednesday. AV has pro-posed a two-tier wage increase basedon giving up entitlements such asallowances and leave.

Members are fighting for a 2.5 percent interim wage increase, with noleave trade-offs, and with consentarbitration undertaken by the Fair

Work Commission on professionalrates of pay only.

After last week’s meeting, Ambu-lance Victoria CEO Greg Sassella saidthe union had rejected an offer touse the services of an independentumpire through a voluntary concili-

ation process in the Fair Work Com-mission. ‘‘While our options for payincreases of 5 and 6 per cent have notbeen accepted to date, we will con-tinue to identify ways of offeringincreases to paramedics that areacceptable.’’


ANZAC Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day we remember all Australians who served and died in all wars. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for oursense of national identity. On ANZAC day, there will be many services and marches held across the peninsula to acknowledge the service of our veterans.

Berry good: Santo Zappia of T&I Strawberries atthe market.

MORNINGTON’S iconic Main Street Mar-ket celebrated its 30th anniversary lastWednesday.

Market-goers enjoyed the vibrant atmo-sphere as stallholders sold goods includingcraft, plants, fresh produce, gourmet delights,children’s toys and fashion.

Since April 1983, the market has been oper-ating under the proviso that all items on offermust be homemade or home grown, which hasbeen the market’s mantra ever since.

Held along Main Street every Wednesday,the attraction is still run by the MorningtonChamber of Commerce, which proposed theinitiative in 1979.

Market manager Jeni Doherty said the pop-ular event was definitely worth a visit.

“It is so exciting to be a part of such aniconic market, Mornington is lucky to havethe longest-running midweek street market inVictoria,’’ she said.

Residents win thebottle shop battleBY LEE OPITZ

Small win: Sean O’Keefe before receiving thegood news. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

SAFETY Beach resident Sean O’Keefe is cele-brating after Mornington Peninsula ShireCouncil refused an application for a newbottle shop in Marine Drive.

Mr O’Keefe objected to the proposal onthe grounds that the location of the outlet,between the Chemist Warehouse and ValleyHoliday Park at 154 Marine Drive, wasinappropriate.

‘‘Allowing a bottle shop next to a healthfacility possibly used by people with alcoholor drug addiction is not a pro-healthmessage,’’ Mr O’Keefe said at the time.

Other concerns were lack of parking andincreased traffic around the small shoppingcentre.

After the Weekly reported the story, resid-ents organised a petition against theproposed development.

The council agreed with Mr O’Keefe andrefused the application on the grounds that itwas an inappropriate location for a bottle

shop, that it would have a detrimental impacton the amenity of the area and there wasinadequate car parking on site.

The applicants have the right to appeal thedecision. ‘‘The community is very happy withthis result and that common sense has beenused, as the site was never suitable for such aproposal,’’ Mr O’Keefe said.

Extinction fear over ploversBY SANDRA BULL

A MAJOR bird conservation group says thehooded plover is nearing extinction and mustbe declared a nationally threatened species ineastern Australian nesting areas, includingMornington Peninsula National Park.

BirdLife Australia’s beach-nesting birds pro-ject manager Grainne Maguire said just 550 ofthe distinctive shore birds remained in thestate, with a mere 70 of those on the Morning-ton Peninsula.

“With numbers falling and pressure grow-ing in some of the plovers’ most importanthabitats, the hooded plover greatly needsnational recognition of its threatened status,”Dr Maguire said.

BirdLife Australia recently submitted areport to a federal government committee call-ing for the eastern population to be listed asnationally threatened under the EnvironmentProtection and Biodiversity Conservation Act

The report, based on years of research, willbe scientifically evaluated, a project expectedto take some time.

Dr Maguire said hooded plovers were espe-cially vulnerable to walkers and their dogs asthey nested on beaches and sand dunes just

above the high-tide mark. BirdLife estimatedless than one in 10 eggs in the MorningtonPeninsula National Park, for example, pro-duced a chick of flying age. A Parks Victoriareview into dog management in the park,involving options ranging from banning dogsfrom the park to allowing them in certain sec-tions, is expected to be released soon.

Dr Maguire said banning dogs from the

park was essential to halting the decline of thespecies.

‘‘Restricted dog access is clearly not work-ing in the national park and we can’t afford towait any longer if we to wish to protect a spe-cies on the brink [of extinction].

If the species was declared nationallythreatened ‘‘it means their conservation wouldhave to be taken a lot more seriously.’’

Quake hits peninsulaRESIDENTS in Rye, Sorrento and Rosebudwere rocked by a 2.7 magnitude earthquakethat hit the southern peninsula.

The quake struck at 11pm on Sunday andwas followed by two after shocks on Mon-day morning.

Rye resident Michelle Winch said she sleptthrough the quake but was alerted to it byher 16-year-old-daughter, Courtney.

‘‘She walked into our bedroom and said‘did you feel the earthquake?’ She said thewhole house just shook, her bed and every-thing. We slept through it.’’

Rye residents Harley and Joyce Willis saidthey felt the Monday morning after shocks.

‘‘It sounded like an explosion, the wholehouse shook and I thought ‘gee that waspretty close’. I didn’t know what it was, Ithought maybe it was a gas explosion or anaccident,’’ Mr Willis said.

The quake, which had its epicentre nearRye, was felt by people within a 20-kilometreradius. Geoscience Australia seismologistDavid Jepsen said it was an isolated quakeand was localised to the area.

‘‘Residents would have felt a rumble or rat-tling, others may have felt a sharp jolt.

‘‘There were numerous after shocks buttwo of note at 8.20 and 8.25am, measuring

2.5 and 2.2 respectively. The second aftershock was half the size of the first in terms ofenergy. We don’t usually see damage fromevents this small.’’

Mr Jepsen said the after shocks wouldpeter out and some may be too small to feel.

‘‘The earthquake came from the earth’scrust in the Rye region. Events happen in thatarea but aren’t common.

‘‘Australia is riddled with faults so it ishard to tell specifically which fault it isrelated to.’’

He said the most recent earthquake of notein the region was a 2009 tremor at Pear-cedale.

It is the second time within a year that res-idents on the Mornington Peninsula have feltthe effects of a quake, with last year’s June 18tremor in Moe felt up to 200 kilometresaway.

‘‘That was about 5000 times bigger,’’ MrJepsen said. ‘‘This quake was nothing com-pared to the size or energy of the Moe quake,which explains why it was so localised.’’

FEATURESTORY

One more for the team, sportLocal football is back butincreasingly needs grassroots helpto prosper. ROY WARD findsadministrators are under pressureto meet the demands of a modernsociety.

New ball game: Rob Sharpe says a large volunteer group is theanswer for sports clubs.

New team: Carrum-Patterson Lakes Lions volunteers and committee members Adam Hamilton, Stephen Barnes, Ryan Parker, Len Riordan, Megan Dalton andMark Bollen are set for a challenging workload. Picture: Daryl Gordon

It’s local football but not how you imaginedit. For many years football club volunteerswould set up the club finances, sort out the

jumpers and stock the canteen and the bar for awinter of home matches.

Along the way there were committee meetings,reports, problem solving and the time-honouredtasks of manning the gate, washing the jumpersand firing up the barbecue.

Yet football clubs in 2013 have that and much,much more to do and local football leagues arelooking at the best way to help club volunteersrun their teams without being so overrun theyleave the sport altogether.

This is where south-east leagues, including theEastern Football League and Southern FootballLeague, have their work cut out to help clubofficials keep up with everything required to keeptheir teams playing.

Clubs with pokie machines or large socialclubs have multimillion-dollar turnovers whileothers are run modestly by small groups ofplayers and volunteers.

While every club volunteer has his or her ownstory, long-time football person Stephen Barnespresides over the SFL’s newest club in Carrum-Patterson Lakes, which played its first game inthe league on April 13.

After spending a lifetime in football and the

past seven years as an SFL director, Barnes threwhimself back into ‘‘clubland’’ when he was askedto join other volunteers like vice-president MarkBollen and secretary Len Riordan to help bringthe Lions’ senior side to life.

Barnes says the challenges for any office holderwere huge but the rewards were worth thestruggle.

Barnes speaks with the Weekly while answer-ing a text message about club business and typingup an email about a club event.

‘‘The demands are huge but you get out of itwhat you put into it.

‘‘As a president you are on call 24/7 and theperson everyone goes to.

‘‘In all competitions and at all clubs, there arealways a few people who blow you away withtheir level of commitment. There are people inthis league who’ve been president for 30-oddyears and been through some monumentalstruggles — you can only have respect for them.’’

While working with his executive membersand club volunteers to start the Lions, Barnessays he has found the demands of a ‘‘lot morepolitically correct world’’ add to the workload ofvolunteers but are important.

‘‘You have to do the things that make sure it’s afriendly environment for everybody.

‘‘We have got that with our newly formednetball side. It’s just a different world from whenfootball clubs were the old inner sanctum wherethe boys would get together after games.’’

He says urging players to get private healthinsurance and income protection are also apressing issue for clubs.

Asked whether adding paid staff would reducethe roles of volunteers, Barnes disagrees, sayingvolunteers would put time into their clubs

regardless. ‘‘It would be nice to put someonethere to run it. Sandown has that model in placeand I believe it’s the only club that does it.

‘‘They have Brett Phillips in that sort of roleand he’s an absolute ripper. If you could beassured of getting someone like him you wouldgo close to doing it.

‘‘But it wouldn’t matter because people in theexecutive would still put in the same amount oftime because they believe in what they do.’’

EFL chief executive Rob Sharpe believesleagues like his own have to offer clear guidanceon the trickier legal requirements for footballclubs. Most importantly, he believes clubs needas many volunteers as they can find so ‘‘manyhands make light work’’.

‘‘It’s obvious you need more and more peopleto run a sports club than ever before.

‘‘The expectations of sports clubs are going upevery year — it’s not just about managing every-thing on Saturday [game day].

‘‘You need to do more in a regulatory sense.For instance, those who work in the canteen havegreater food safety requirements, there are morestringent rules about serving alcohol in the barand then you have matters around the GST andcompliance with the Corporations Act.’’

To add to those demands, drug and alcoholabuse in recent years have caught more mediaattention, placing pressure on clubs to play abigger role in fostering responsible behaviour.

Awareness of sexism, racism and tolerance ofall kinds has also sneaked into this area as thebattle to change outdated attitudes continues.

AFL Victoria and bodies such as the AustralianDrug Foundation ask that clubs sign up tocharters like the Good Sports program. Sharpesays all people involved in football have a role to

play in the matter, but he is also wary about howmany demands such programs place on peoplewho simply want to run their local football club.

‘‘Social expectations are being put on footyclubs now.

‘‘They are expected to educate their playersand try to make our society a better place.

‘‘There are matters around illicit drugs, alcoholand respect for women and all those things areterrifically important and clubs are trying to domore. But all that added up together means morejobs that need to be done around a club.’’

Sharpe and his SFL counterpart, chief execut-ive David Cannizzo, agree the over-burdening ofvolunteers is a major concern in a sport that hasrun on the back of volunteer labour.

But with regulations, legal and accountingpractices so much a part of running a club, itlooks more like a paid job than an after-hourspursuit. Sharpe believes dividing the tasksbetween a large group of volunteers is the bestcourse. Cannizzo thinks some clubs may soonhave to budget to pay part-time managers oradministrators.

‘‘There’s a great fear from potential volunteersthey will become overburdened, so the realchallenge is to get large numbers of people takingsmall jobs.

‘‘Lots of people putting in a couple of hourseach week is better than having a person in a full-time or part-time job,’’ Sharpe says.

Cannizzo says a recent meeting between SFLofficials and clubs broached the topic of thedemands of compliance work.

‘‘It’s getting to the point where clubs may needa paid part-time person to manage these things,so they stop becoming too difficult and scaringaway the people involved.’’


It’s gospel all right

Standing strong: Debra Byrne will soonperform in Frankston. Picture: Lear, SMH Spectrum

Iconic performer Debra Byrne is still standing, Haydn Godony reports

A queen of pop in the ’70s, Debra Byrne willshare the stage in Frankston soon withgritty rocker Nick Barker in a two-hour

gospel rock opera concert telling the story of thebirth of rock‘n’roll.

“In this show, Last Man Standing, I sing a lotof the material that [US gospel singer] SisterRosetta Tharpe sang,’’ Byrne said.

‘‘She was a massive influence on Jerry LeeLewis, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and a lotof the industry’s early heavyweights,” she saidfrom her Melbourne home.

“A lot of what I sing is gospel, which I’m reallyhappy to sing and which attracted me to thisshow because they’re wonderful songs.”

Many songs, such as Old Black Joe, areperformed as a duet with Barker.

On stage and screen Byrne has performedmany lead roles including Fantine in Les

Miserables, Grizabella in Cats and NormaDesmond in Sunset Boulevard — a role she feelscontained and embraced more of ‘her’ than anyof the other roles.

“When I’m in a role I easily get into the ‘place’because I see it as fun.

‘‘I love acting — it’s a place I can easily go to,or easily leave. When I played Fantine the wordsthat helped me relate to the part were strength,fragility and hope,” she said.

“I used to think that I was a weak person. It’sonly the past few years that I’ve realised that I’mactually a very strong person because I’m stillhere. I’ve survived a great deal and come out of itvery sure of where I’m going.’’

Five years ago Byrne returned to something sheloved doing as a child — going to church.

“I’m loving my walk with God, it’s somethingthat I’m able to treasure again,” she said. “So thegospel music is right up my alley.”

Last Man Standing is at Frankston Arts Centreon Saturday, April 27. Details: 9784 1060.

VW ups the ante in small-car stakesEwan Kennedy road tests the Volkswagen up!

Distinctive: Volkswagen’s new up! has a cheeky style and on-road feel that’s sure to appeal to many.

And now for something completely different— yet at the same time something that’s ablast from the past.

The Volkswagen up! has a cheeky shape that’slike nothing else on the road. That’s a difficultthing to achieve because the smallest VeeDubcould have looked like any other low-pricedhatchback. Full marks to the designers who haveused a clever front grille style and a distinctivekink in the rear pillar to make their up! stand outfrom the madding automotive crowd

VW’s marketing gurus like the new model’sname to be spelled as up! – complete with lower-case ‘u’ and an exclamation mark.

Volkswagen up! is the reigning World Car ofthe Year and is available in three- and five-doorhatchback bodies, with just one equipment levelbut a number of option packages.

The blast from the past we mentioned is thatthere’s more than a hint of the original VW Beetlein the way up! feels on the road. Not in itshandling, which is infinitely better than the oldswing-axle Beetle, but in the cheeky way it accel-

erates and the happy way it corners and stops.The buzzy sound from the three-cylinder engineis another endearing feature.

At just 3.54 metres in length, the VW up! is adelight in tight city areas and we found ourselveshaving access to parking spots that nothing elsewith four wheels could fit into.

There is seating for four, although rear-seatadult passengers will need to impose on those inthe front seat to get comfortable legroom.

Maximising the size of the passenger cabininevitably reduces storage space and, at 251 litresmaximum, the boot is relatively small. However,it is quite deep. The rear seatbacks fold down togreatly increase carrying capacity.

Power for the cute little Volkswagen up! comesfrom a three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine.

Fuel consumption during our test week wasgenerally in the six to seven litres per hundredkilometres range. On the open road it waspossible to get it under five litres.

Prices start at $13,990, not including govern-ment or dealer delivery charges.

Buds grindout the winROSEBUD has made it two from two with ascrappy 26-point victory over Devon Mead-ows in their Nepean League match at Olym-pic Oval on Saturday.

The Panthers took no chances early, throw-ing two loose men back to prevent the Budsfrom getting any fluency.

The congested Rosebud forward line forceda tight contest fought mainly through the mid-dle of the ground with the Buds struggling toget clean entry into their forward 50.

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell was pleasedwith his players’ ability to grind out the matchagainst the resilient Devon Meadows.

‘‘It was a pretty scrappy contest,’’ Jewellsaid.

‘‘It was a really good hit out for us and toget the four points was a great result.’’

Panthers coach Brent Clinnick was happywith his team’s performance and their abilityto maintain defensive pressure for the full fourquarters.

‘‘There was a lot of pressure around the balland we aimed to make it a really contestedgame,’’ Clinnick said.

‘‘We wanted to restrict them from kickinggoals early.

‘‘We didn’t want to go in at quarter timeand have a big job to do.’’

Devon Meadows defender Alex Doria wascharged with minding Rosebud key forwardBen Schultz, who was coming off an eight-goal haul, managing to keep him to just theone.

‘‘Doria did a superb job on Schultz,’’ Clin-nick said.

The Buds’ forward line was well covered,forcing them to manufacture goals throughtheir midfield with Matt Payne and GlennBoyington rising to the challenge baggingthree apiece.

‘‘We were able to find different avenues togoal which was pleasing,’’ Jewell said.

‘‘Boyington was excellent through themiddle.’’

The Buds managed to hold the edge overthe Panthers for most of the afternoon, dom-inating the hit outs with ruckman Paul Lewisgiving the dynamic Rosebud midfield first use.

Rosebud pulled away in the final term, itsmidfield outclassing the young Devon Mead-ows side despite the best efforts of Pantherson-baller Heath Black.

Lachlan Armstrong was among the Buds’most influential, the talented utility againproving invaluable with his ability to fill holesaround the ground.

In other Nepean League matches, Franks-ton Bombers crushed Tyabb by 111 points.

Pearcedale continued to gather momentumwith a 65-point hammering of Crib Point,Panthers on-baller Pat Heijden unstoppablebooting six goals.

Somerville overcame Red Hill by 15 pointsafter trailing at the final change.

Rye secured its first win of the season with aconvincing 30-point win over Hastings.

Barred Sorrento star clearedBY BRAD McGRATH

STEVEN Baker will make his debut for Sorrentoagainst Hastings at David McFarlane Reserve onSaturday, after successfully appealing against alifetime suspension.

The former St Kilda hard man had beenbanned for life after a suspension in a practicematch last month resulted in him going over the16-match suspension threshold for players inlower levels of the game.

But the star Sorrento recruit had his suspen-sion overturned last Wednesday night when anAFL Victoria appeals board cleared the tagger ofunduly rough play.

Sorrento president Garry Woodhams said theclub was glad to put the saga behind it and waslooking forward to seeing the 32 year old debut.

‘‘The appeal was upheld and he’s free to play,’’Woodhams said.

‘‘It’s a terrific result and we thought on theevidence available that’s the way it should go andthe appeals board members came to a unanimousdecision.’’

Baker, who played 203 games for the Saints,was represented by Nick Carmichael, withWoodhams not allowed because he is a lawyer.

The Baker team pleaded not guilty to thealleged incident which left Red Hill’s BlakeThompson with a broken jaw from their practice

match on March 9. Baker was originally handeda lifetime ban when the six-week suspension puthim over the 16-week limit and activating aVictorian Country Football League rule whichsays players will be banned nationwide.

Over the course of Baker’s AFL career he wassuspended for 28 matches, which is halved in theminor leagues, and with the six-week ban hewould not be able to play again.

With Sorrento having the bye last weekend,Baker will make his debut on Saturday for theundefeated Sharks.

‘‘We’re going all right, we’ve got record num-bers attending training and a few players aremissing out on games,’’ Woodhams said.

Stonecats put the muzzle on Bulldogs

Important contribution: Frankston YCW’s Ash Eamestowers high above his Mornington opponent.

MORNINGTON has been brought back downto earth, going down to Frankston YCW by 53points in their Peninsula League clash atAlexandra Park on Saturday.

The Bulldogs were coming off an upset winover last year’s runner-up Mt Eliza in round oneand looked prominent early.

In what was a physical contest the Bulldogschallenged the premiers at nearly every turn.

Bulldogs stars Warwick Miller and EmilioBitters fought gamely in the midfield and showedtheir team will be very different this year.

Stonecats coach Tony Barry was impressed bythe much-improved Mornington side, which hadthem on the back foot early.

‘‘They [Mornington] have really come a longway since last year. They’re are going to be agood side this year,’’ he said.

‘‘They play a really different brand of footywith a lot of zoning, which took us a while toadjust to.’’

Mornington youngsters Jai Haddock andJames Cameron were relentless with their pres-

sure on the ball carrier, keeping the Stonecatsmidfield contained.

Bulldogs coach Stuart Seager was pleased withhis side’s effort against the league yardstick,the first-year coach impressed with his side’sintent.

‘‘We played really good footy for three quar-ters and then their experience just got over thetop of us in the final term,’’ Seager said.

‘‘We had a really good win over Mt Eliza lastweek, so to play both grand finalists from lastyear in the first two rounds was a great test forus.’’

The Bulldogs had the edge in the second half,keeping the multi-pronged Stonecats forwardline under control. Full-back Kallum Searle was arock at the last line.

The Stonecats started to take control in thethird term before blowing the game wide open inthe last quarter with nine goals to one.

Ryley Hodson booted four goals for the Stone-cats in a best-on-ground performance and vet-eran ruckman Ash Eames produced another

strong showing. ‘‘It was great to see we couldmatch it with sides like Frankston. We just needto work on going the extra step,’’ Seager said.

POB avengegrand final lossPENINSULA Old Boys have started their seasonin stellar fashion by defeating North Old Boys-StPatricks in their VAFA Premier C match at Penin-sula School on Saturday.

The Pirates were merciless as they crushedNorth by 64 points, showing their hunger to gainrespite for last year’s grand final loss at the handsof North Old Boys.

Peninsula Old Boys jumped out of the blocksrestricting North Old Boys to just one behind inthe first term as they got to a 35-point lead andnever looked back.

Shaun Payze led the way for the Pirates with aneight-goal haul, the visitors struggling to find anyanswers for the opposition skipper.

Midfielders Ben Southam and Stefan Barbourwere prolific, running amok through the centreby taking full advantage of the Nick Fisher’s ruckdominance.

The win was soured by star utility Tom Reessustaining a knee injury early in the first quarter.

South Mornington won its first hit-out in divi-sion 3 against Swinburne University by sevenpoints. The win is a resounding result for theTigers who were almost forced to fold over theoff-season after a mass exodus of players.

It’s all about theprocess for SteelersWESTERN Port Lady Steelers assistant coachMarc Pirrotta says they will use last Saturdaynight’s 10-point loss to Werribee Devils as alearning tool.

He said the young Steelers showed positivesigns in the Big V clash at the Somerville Recre-ation Centre and pushed the Devils all the way.

‘‘We are a really young side, a lot our playersare in their first year of senior basketball,’’Pirrotta said. ‘‘Our focus isn’t really on winningbut the process you go through to get thatresult.’’

The match was riddled with some horrendousshooting from both sides, the Devils shootingbelow 10 per cent in the second period.

‘‘Our defensive pressure forced them to takesome bad shots,’’ Pirrotta said.

Steeelers’ Elyse Chivers was lively but was oneof the main culprits, shooting at just 27 per cent,six of her 13 points coming from free throws.

Western Port took the lead early in the thirdperiod with all the signs pointing to an unlikelywin, but it was cruelled by fouls, with three for-wards being forced out of the match late in thesecond half.

The more experienced Werribee unit was even-tually able to take control in the final term andextend the lead to run out 64-54 winners.

The Western Port Youth League men’s teamenjoyed its third win of the season by easilyaccounting for Bendigo 83-56.

Rikki Deehan continued his dominance, drop-ping another 25 points and collecting sevenrebounds on his way to another outstandingperformance. — Morgan Cole

Falcons bring Stingrays crashing down to earthDANDENONG Stingrays TAC Cup seasoncrashed from chocolates to boiled lollies onSaturday.

The Stingrays were coming off a brilliant vic-tory over Eastern Ranges but all the things thatmade that victory possible were absent in their65-point loss to Geelong Falcons.

Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats said the7.11 (53) to 18.10 (118) loss was littered withskill errors and poor decision-making.

‘‘We were never competitively in the game —

the scoreboard might have been pretty close butin general play they dominated around the con-test.

‘‘We were clearly outclassed by a better teamand a more hard-working team.’’

The Stingrays simply lacked the vigour of theprevious week. Skipper Nathan Foote anddefender Zac Jones desperately tried to lift thembut it was to no avail.

Falcons George Cameron and Fraser Fortdominated the second half and guided their team

to an important victory. Seventeen year olds TomLamb, who booted two goals, and Daniel Capi-ron battled valiantly.

‘‘In the third quarter we had probably hadeight of the first 10 inside 50s. We just didn’t takeour chances,’’ Yeats said.

‘‘They were then able to wrest the momentumback from us.’’

The Stingrays’ next game is against WesternJets on Sunday, April 28.

State selection: Peninsula Waves young gun Megan Rosser is representing Victoria at the under-19national championships.

Homing in on local supportBY BRAD McGRATH and ROY WARD

PENINSULA Waves are hopeful a home crowdwill give them a boost in their Victorian NetballLeague clash against Monash University Centralat Patterson River Secondary College onSaturday night.

The Waves will play the first of two homegames and coach Claire Houben hopes the localcrowds will come out in force to support herundefeated championship team.

But she knows it will be no easy task againstCentral, who are sitting fourth with a 3-2 recordafter five rounds.

‘‘It should be a very closely contested game,’’Houben said.

‘‘I’m really hoping that we’ll match up wellwith them — they are normally a very good sideand got a lot of strong talent.’’

The Waves have been awarded two homegames this season and the club is hopeful strongcrowd turnouts will help them secure more fix-tures on the peninsula.

‘‘We do look forward to it and it’s great for ouryoung ones as well — the under-19s and div 1 —with parents and club supporters as well,’’Houben said.

‘‘It’s usually a highlight for the club and hope-fully it will be very entertaining.’’

To give the clash added spice, former Wavescoach Robynn Pym, who stood down as champi-onship coach after they bowed out of the finalslast season, has joined Monash University asunder-19s coach.

Central will come into the match on the backof its most telling win of the season after thump-ing UB Ballarat Pride 70-38 in the previousround.

But with the VNL pausing last week for the19-and-under and 17-and-under national cham-pionships, the two sides will come into the game11 days after their last match.

Central coach Leesa Maxfield said her playerswould have to work hard to retain the formfound in the win over the Pride.

‘‘It could be our biggest downfall coming intothis game because we had such a great gameagainst Ballarat that it would be good to keepthat momentum going.

‘‘We’ll be keeping up our training all week andare very lucky that the AIS squad is coming downto Melbourne. We’ll play a full, proper gameagainst them on Monday, then train on Thursdayand play Saturday.’’

Maxfield said her players looked forward toplaying in a different venue and against theWaves, who had stamped themselves as the earlypremiership favourite.

‘‘It’s a really good venue and fairly easy to getto with the new roads heading to Frankston.Heading out that way is not as big a deal as it

used to be and our two sides match up very welleven though they haven’t lost a game yet.

The Waves are represented in the Victorianunder-19 team by Megan Rosser. Julia Smith isplaying in the state under-17 team.

Waves division 1 player Jess Whitford is anassistant coach with the under-19 state team.
