Science cuts ‘political’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ASPENDALE seems set to be targeted for science job cuts for political reasons in a blow to Melbourne’s south east economy. An internal email from a management member of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) released last week to a Senate inquiry into the national science body’s plans to axe up to 350 jobs, mostly in climate change research, stated any job

losses in Hobart should be minimised. The majority of the CSIRO’s climate change research is conducted in Aspendale and Tasmania. The partially redacted email stated the unnamed CSIRO official would work to “minimise impacts at Hobart – need to address loss of employment in TAS (a regional political issue)”. Federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus accused the federal government and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of “politicking of the most sickening nature”.

WATERFRONT CAFE

“This is not a time to mince words: Mr Turnbull has sold out Melbourne’s south east. He has cut national funding to the CSIRO and then focused these cuts on our community,” he said. “Mr Turnbull is playing with the jobs of CSIRO researchers in Isaacs to minimise political damage in Tasmania. People’s livelihoods are at stake here and Mr Turnbull is callously thinking about politics. “Every member of our community will feel the direct or indirect shock of these cuts.”

EAT

When asked whether the federal government would consider Labor’s request to postpone any CSIRO job cuts until after this year’s federal election a spokesperson for Liberal Industry, Innovation and Science Minister Christopher Pyne denied there had been any federal budget cuts to the science organisation despite a $110 million CSIRO funding cut over four years announced by the Abbott government in 2014. Mr Pyne’s media adviser Eleisa Hancock said a statement should be attributed to “a spokesperson of the Minister’s

RELAX

office” when asked for a spokesperson’s name for the claim. “There have been no changes in government funding to the CSIRO. Any suggestion that this was a result of changes to the CSIRO budget is incorrect,” the statement claimed. “The CSIRO is an independent statutory agency governed by a board of directors. The board in conjunction with senior management are responsible for operations, including staffing, and setting the CSIRO’s priorities.” Continued Page 4

Bay Trail’s next step on horizon MORE than 300 people have had their say during a public consultation period on Kingston’s Bay Trail project. As part of planning to extend the Bay Trail shared bike and walking path from Mentone to Mordialloc, Kingston Council had called for community input on a preferred location for the new path. More than 270 people completed an online survey and around 60 people took part in council’s drop-in sessions along the foreshore. The Bay Trail will deliver an offroad path for pedestrians and cyclists to walk, ride and run along Kingston’s foreshore area. “The Bay Trail project is an important link to promote cycling and walking around Port Phillip Bay and

will be a fantastic community asset,” Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said. “Late last year council opened the Mentone section of the Bay Trail in Mentone and were overwhelmed with the positive community feedback. “Before moving ahead with the project council sought our community’s views on where the path should be located.” Options include: n new concrete path back of kerb (next to Beach Rd) all the way from Mentone to Mordialloc, n an alternative alignment with a mix of back of kerb and existing pathways. Common themes raised by the community during the consultation period included:

n retain gravel path to provide some separation between pedestrians and cyclists n get on with completing the project n offset any lost vegetation n promote personal safety by keeping the path visible from the street. Feedback from the community consultation will be presented to councillors to help determine a preferred trail alignment. Council will then seek planning approval for the entire project with construction likely to take place in stages as funding becomes available. Completing the missing link of the Bay Trail from Mentone to Mordialloc, 3,200 metres in length, will cost about $3 million and Kingston Council is seeking funding support from the state government.

Council along for sky rail ride … for now Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON councillors have opted not to formally oppose elevated rail for the Frankston line but have voiced concerns about state government-led consultations with the community over plans to remove level crossings along the rail line. Councillors overwhelmingly voted against a proposal by Cr Paul Peulich tabled at last month’s public council meeting that called on council to oppose any sky rail design for the Frankston line and demand the Labor state government “abandon any plans” for sky rail. “There is already a lot of angst out there,” Cr Peulich, a Liberal Party member who sought the party’s endorsement as federal candidate for Dunkley, said at the meeting. “Council needs to act now.” Some councillors who voted against opposing sky rail said they personally opposed an elevated rail option but feared council would lose its voice in consultations with the government if council adopted an official anti-sky rail stance. Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley opposed Cr Peulich’s proposal since she believed it would be best for council to be at the negotiating table with the state government. “I am broadly in agreement that council should strongly oppose the sky rail design for the Frankston line [but] am not in agreement with the way Cr Peulich has set out how he wants to do it,” she said. Cr John Ronke noted “hundreds of

people” have voiced concerns about sky rail and the consultation process managed by the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA), a Department of Transport organisation overseeing the separation of rail and road at 11 level crossings along the Frankston line. He described sky rail as “a monstrosity and disaster for the community” but said council is best placed to facilitate discussions between the state government and the community. “We could very well lose our seat at

the table for future discussions if we’ve already formed a view,” Cr Ronke said. Cr Geoff Gledhill said “there are other alternatives” and sky rail should be dropped as a possibility since “it has such a long-term impact on the people who live near it”. “It’s become an emotive subject which is unfortunate because it’s an infrastructure project to remove level crossings [and] we all want that,” he said. Crs Peulich and Gledhill voted for council to formally oppose sky rail. Crs

Tamara Barth, Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, Ronke, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West voted down the proposal. Cr David Eden abstained from voting. Councillors instead decided to write to Premier Daniel Andrews, the LXRA and Transport Minister Jacinta Allen to increase consultations with council and the community and release more detail on plans to remove level crossings. “Our community deserves to be given all the relevant information of the different options such as sound reports,

engineering assessments, indicative drawings and estimated costs so they can make an informed decision and have their opinion clearly heard and taken into account,” Cr Bearsley said in a statement issued by council. The LXRA announce options for level crossings removals along the Frankston line in mid-year and will then make a final recommendation on a preferred option to the state government at the end of this year.

CSIRO cuts to target Aspendale

City hall call: Voters have a chance to voice views on council election regulations.

Have say on council elections KINGSTON residents are being asked for feedback on changes to Victoria’s local government electoral regulations in the lead up to the October council elections. Last changed in 2005, the current regulations will expire in August and the state government is inviting input from the community and local government sector to update them. “We want to implement changes that will be best for voters, best for candidates and most importantly, best for democracy to ensure we have councils that truly represent their communities,” Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said. “Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy and it’s important we have robust rules in place to deliver those elections for Victorians.” A number of suggested changes will be discussed over the coming

months, including whether or not candidates should be required to disclose more information before nominating. Another topic for discussion during the consultation phase is whether or not the VEC should be distributing candidates’ how-to-vote cards in postal ballot packs, which make up the majority of Victorian council elections. Council elections to elect councillors are held every four years in Victoria and will take place on Saturday 22 October this year. To have a say on the rules governing Victoria’s council elections, email local.government@delwp.vic. gov.au Submissions close Friday 6 May. Further information is available online at delwp.vic.gov.au/localgovernment

Continued from Page 1 The statement noted Labor cut $63.4 million from the CSIRO over four years in 2008. The internal CSIRO email was released to the Senate inquiry amid controversy about senior staff using private email communications to plan job cuts. An email dated 18 January this year from another unnamed CSIRO management member focused on climate change research cuts and stated: “I think we should aim for -120 staff … because it would allow a clean cut in terms of eliminating all capability associated with ‘public good/government-funded climate research’. “If we aim for less we will inevitably face the problem of keeping some of the climate scientists (who will no longer be aligned with the new CSIRO strategy). If we go for more, we will loose [sic] important non-climate related capability.” CSIRO CEO Larry Marshall has said there has been no final decision as yet on the number of jobs to be shed across the country. Mr Marshall told staff last month the CSIRO would “pivot” to support Australia’s commodities industry and data mining is also a future growth area for science research. Late last year the Turnbull government restored about $20 million of $42 million in CSIRO annual information technology research funding stripped away by the Abbott government.

Apple store burgled

Hidden handgun

THIEVES ransacked the Apple store, Southland, early Tuesday morning, and got away with an unknown quantity of high priced stock. They used bolt cutters to gain entry to a vehicle ramp and drove to the first level where they smashed entrance doors with sledgehammers. It is believed two security guards who spotted the thieves approaching retreated to the emergency exits. The offenders smashed windows to the hi-tech store and loaded stock into containers they had brought with them. The value of the stock was being assessed yesterday. They then left “at speed” in a lightcoloured car and a dark coloured car north on Nepean Hwy. Sergeant Nigel Fox, of Kingston CIU, said the thieves stole iPads, laptops and mobile phones in the raid but their value was not yet known.

A WOMAN spoken to by police on a Parkdale street, 8.10am, Friday 8 April, was later found to have a handgun hidden in her bra as well as ammunition and an imitation handgun in her handbag. Police noticed the woman, 25, of Southbank, and a man who appeared drug affected as they walked along Como Pd. East. They said she “became irrational” when spoken to and they thought she might be drug affected. Searching her backpack they found the ammunition, large hunting knife, zip-lock bag containing a small quantity of ice, rifle telescope, and a black jacket. Police said the woman denied owning the backpack and said she had found it on the street. She claimed the black jacket in it was hers. A police woman then noticed the handle of a handgun protruding from the woman’s bra. It was not loaded, but the ammunition found in the bag matched the handgun. The woman was charged with possessing a handgun without a licence and with drugs and weapons offences. She was bailed to appear at Moorabbin Court, Friday 22 April.

Trailer stolen THIEVES broke into a Chelsea Heights construction company and stole an excavator, trailer, tools, and blue Yamaha trail bike, with a total value of $38,000. Chelsea police attended the Wells Rd scene in which a jemmy bar appears to have been used to force a lock on a roller door in the industrial estate. The thieves pushed a truck back from the roller door and then loaded the trailer with the excavator and managed to drive it and the bike away. The trailer’s registration is T92489. Police are examining CCTV footage in the hope of identifying the offenders.

Butt starts fire A LIT cigarette may have caused a fire at an automotive factory in Macbeth St, Braeside, noon, Tuesday 5 April. About 20 employees of the auto parts wholesaler were evacuated when smoke erupted from a rear laneway storage area. MFB and CFA crews

put out the fire which burnt through mixed rubbish and packaging.

Slumped over the wheel A MAN found slumped over the steering wheel of a car in Thames Pde, Chelsea Heights, 5pm, Sunday, was found to be drug affected. The 28 year old was spotted by a passer-by apparently unconscious in the car which had no registration plates and was later found to be unregistered. He was treated by paramedics and taken to Frankston hospital for a suspected drug overdose. Mordialloc police said they found a pouch containing a white powder – later indentified as ice – in two small bags and also rolled up in tin foil. The man was charged with trafficking ice and possessing a drug of dependence. He was bailed to appear at Moorabbin Court at a later date.

Fatal apartment fire A CANDLE or a cigarette may have caused an intense fire in a Mordialloc apartment, 1am, Sunday, in which a 52-year-old man died. Warren Zuijdwijk was asleep in a bedroom at the white St property while his brother Dean was asleep in the lounge room. When the fire started, Dean ran downstairs to alert his neighbours thinking Warren had escaped the blaze. Police said the intensity of the fire prevented neighbours from rescuing the man. It is believed the power to the apartment had been turned off and the brothers had been running an extension cord from another apartment before resorting to candles.

Jailhouse rocked: Prisoners tried to escape custody at Moorabbin Police Station.

Police hurt in jail escape bid WITH a cry of “Let’s go”, four prisoners being locked down for the night at Kingston police complex, 10.20pm, Monday (11 April), attacked – and briefly overpowered – three police officers while trying to escape. The officers, caught by surprise in the melee, attempted unsuccessfully to use their batons and pepper spray to subdue the prisoners, who are believed to have planned their assault while in the cells. The officers were forced to retreat as the men surged, with one dropping a pepper spray canister which the men used against them, and a swipe card which they used to escape the custody area. One female officer was allegedly

punched in the face and slammed forcefully against a wall in the attack, injuring her shoulder. Others were also punched and roughed up. Police reinforcements helped track down the would-be escapees at various points inside the station and return them to their cells. Two of the officers attacked were later taken to hospital with minor injuries, including concussion, elbow soreness and exposure to pepper spray. The prisoners, aged 44, 28 and two aged 24, appeared at Moorabbin Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning charged with escape, assaulting police and various other offences. Victoria Police will review security measures after the incident.

Youth space stays open KINGSTON Council and the Aspendale Gardens Community Centre will continue to run a youth service in Aspendale Gardens following a successful trial. The Aspendale Gardens Youth Initiative has had positive contact with over 1150 young people - with a strong focus on the young people aged 11 to 15 - since its launch in April last year. Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the trial had been a great success providing much-needed services to the expanding youth population in Aspendale Gardens and nearby areas. “Kingston Council is proud to support this fantastic initiative that provides programs for young people right on their doorstep,” Cr Bearsley said. “The Aspendale Gardens Youth Initiative provides a safe, fun environment for young people with highlights of the trial including fitness classes, barista training, participation in

the Aspendale Gardens Family Fun Day, an endof-year event for grade six students and stronger links with local schools.” The Aspendale Youth Initiative is located in the newly renovated space at the former Aspendale Gardens Maternal and Child Health Centre at 103-105 Kearney Drive, Aspendale Gardens which has been moved to the new Edithvale Family and Children’s Centre. The service is open 1.30-5.30pm Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. During school times Kingston Youth Services work in partnership with local schools. When school has finished for the day, young people are invited to drop-in to access information and support or take part in a range of fun, free programs running from 4-5.30pm including social events, sports and recreation programs and cooking classes.

Boom in whiting stocks likely to drop – scientists SCIENTISTS are predicting an end to the bumper season of fishing for King George whiting fishing in Port Phillip and Western Port. Surveys have detected poor juvenile whiting numbers in seagrass nurseries in 2014 and 2015. Fisheries Victoria executive director Travis Dowling said natural climate-driven variation in juvenile whiting numbers that settle in the bay was entirely normal, but consecutive poor years would prolong the downturn and make it more noticeable to anglers. “The downturn’s impact will be lessened given that 87 per cent of the commercial netting catch for species also targeted by recreational anglers, including King George whiting, has now been removed from the bay as part of the state government’s Target One Million plan, which aims to get more people fishing, more often,” Mr Dowling said. “It’s unfortunate we have experienced two years in a row of poor whiting settlement in the bay, which will impact stocks of takeable size whiting between 2017 and 2019. “Much the same can be expected in Western Port.” Mr Dowling said the annual spring surveys by fisheries scientists sample two to three centimetre whiting in seagrass beds shortly after they

enter Port Phillip from coastal spawning sites well to the west. “The abundance of these little whiting allows us to forecast future trends in the bay whiting fishery, enabling everyone to understand what the fishery will look like ahead of time,” he said. “The juvenile whiting take about two years to grow to 27 centimetres, which is legal minimum size. They then leave our bays by age three to four and complete their adult life in ocean waters. “This type of life-cycle contributes to a highly variable fishery that’s largely dependent on the magnitude of juvenile settlement in the shallows several years prior.” Mr Dowling said the recent “terrific” King George whiting fishing experienced by anglers came “thanks to a strong settlement of tiny whiting in 2013 that had now grown and entered the fishery”. “While we expect good fishing to continue into next summer and autumn, whiting catches will likely drop noticeably by the 2017 summer.” The daily bag limit on King George whiting is 20 a person and that they should be landed whole so fisheries officers can measure them if needed.

Bigger pavilion on way for Ben Kavanagh Reserve KINGSTON Council has approved an expanded new pavilion at Mordialloc’s Ben Kavanagh Reserve to provide a base for St John’s Ambulance and offer improved facilities for local sports clubs. Council last night approved an extra $250,000 contribution to the $4.17million project, which is expected to be funded in the upcoming 2016/17 Budget. The project will transform Ben Kavanagh Reserve with an expanded community sports pavilion, improved fencing, playground make-over, extra landscaping and car park improvements. Original plans for a single storey pavilion were expanded following calls from the sporting clubs for expanded facilities and the opportunity to colocate St Johns Ambulance on the site. The Mordialloc Sporting Club will contribute $150,000 funding towards the project plus $50,000 in kind including commercial kitchen equipment. Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the changes will upgrade the well-used reserve to ensure it meets the needs of residents and sports clubs for years to come. “Council is committed to providing quality parks and sporting facilities

for the community and these upgrades will breathe new life into this muchloved local reserve,” Cr Bearsley said. Ben Kavanagh Reserve is home to a wide range of local sports groups including the Mordialloc Sporting Club, Mordialloc Super Rules Football Club, Mordialloc Junior Football Club, Mordialloc Football/Netball Club, Mordialloc Cricket Club, Mordialloc Bowls Club, Longbeach Petanque group and other community groups. The project includes: n a new state-of-the-art multi-use double-storey pavilion featuring expanded social areas, change rooms, storage, plus space for umpires and medical staff n new exercise stations, multi-purpose sports court and improved walking paths n a refreshed fully-fenced playground area n new electronic scoreboard plus improved seating and lighting n extra trees and landscaping to improve visual amenity n construction of a large stormwater pipe to address flooding issues in McDonald Street n update of rain garden to treat and harvest storm water n retention of a large mahogany gum tree.

Love rats steal rides from unwary ANYONE seeking to meet a potential match online should be aware after cars were stolen earlier in the year. Detective Leading Senior Constable Richard Thomson, of Frankston CIU, said people inviting unknown possible love interests into their homes – usually at night – were courting disaster. “The victims are often too embarrassed to come forward after their assignations,” he said. “And it looks like it’s becoming a little bit more common.” In one case in Langwarrin on Sunday 3 January a man arranged

to meet a potential love-match in the woman’s home before pinching her car keys and stealing the car. It was driven to a house in Somerville where another car was stolen. Detective Thomson said police suspect the car was used to steal cigarettes from a Langwarrin liquor store before being set alight. A man police wish to speak with is of southern European appearance, about 173cm, aged 25-30 with a moustache and black hair with shaved sides. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Detective Thomson on 9784 5555.

Return of the Saints edges closer REDEVELOPMENT of the Moorabbin Reserve is another step closer after Kingston Council at its latest council meeting gave permission for the St Kilda Football Club to begin the formal planning application process. As Kingston Council owns Moorabbin Reserve, its formal permission was required before a planning application could be lodged by St Kilda Football Club. “This permission does not mean Kingston Council has approved the application but rather allows the planning process to continue,” Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said. “The application will now be subject to the normal planning process, which will include seeking public feedback on the plan in coming months. The proposed Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment includes: n new administrative facilities for St Kilda Football Club and a community football hub with dedicated offices for the Southern Metropolitan Junior Football League, Southern Football Netball League, Sandringham Dragons and AFL Victoria region staff n a new social room facility with the ability to host meetings and events, including educational programs, seminars and courses

training facilities for Southern Metropolitan Junior Football League, Southern Football Netball League and the St Kilda Football Club; n the oval and associated facilities for use during for finals and other high-profile community-based games such as interleague, season launches and final series n a venue for VFL team training and matches including change rooms, umpire facilities and warm up n lighting to allow for training and potential community level night games n commercial activities including (the existing) 68 gaming machines, bar and café facilities n accessible public toilets n improved car parking. Separate to these proposed building works, Kingston Council has begun to develop a plan to improve the open space areas at the reserve with $1 million of council’s $5 million contribution to the project dedicated to park improvements. The remaining $4 million of council funding will go towards the cost of the community football hub and indoor training court, which will be available for public use for netball and basketball. n

Police swoop on drugs crop A POLICE raid in Skye Rd, Frankston, last Friday (8 April), resulted in the seizure of 200 marijuana plants with an estimated street value of $700,000-$1 million. Car loads of police descended on the property, between Dalpura Court and Onkara St, on Friday morning. Four Vietnamese nationals – one woman and three men aged 22-38 – were arrested and charged with cultivat-

ing and trafficking marijuana and theft of electricity. Sergeant Sam Booth, of Frankston police, said another 20 kilograms of marijuana was “cut up and ready to go”. “Community suspicions” alerted police to the presence of the crop, he said. A bypass switch inside the house may have allowed the occupants’ high power use to go unnoticed by the electricity provider.

Missing teen’s remains identified Human remains located in the Lerderderg State Park in Bacchus Marsh have been formally identified as missing teenager Cayleb Hough. The remains of the 17-year-old Chelsea Heights teenager were located in a shallow mineshaft in the vicinity of the Seerey Track on Thursday 10 March this year. The death is being treated as suspicious. Missing Persons Squad detectives will today conduct a search of the area with the assistance of the SES. Cayleb was last seen in the vicinity of The Crescent, Highett in the early hours of Sunday 20 December 2015. It is believed Cayleb was seen travelling in a blue 2003 Ford Falcon XR6 sedan with registration – SOG 812. Police located the blue Ford Falcon sedan in a car park at Crown Casino about 1pm on Saturday 16 January this year.

Plea for help: Police want to speak to anyone who can help solve the mystery of Cayleb Hough’s disappearance and death.

The vehicle remains in police possession as the investigation continues. Missing Persons Squad Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Rhodes is appealing for public help. “We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the Lerderderg State Park since 20 December last year,” Det Sen Sgt Rhodes said. “Someone out there knows who is responsible for Cayleb’s death and we

are appealing for them to come forward and contact police. “Cayleb’s family deserve some answers in relation to this horrific tragedy.” Police have released images, above, of similar clothing Cayleb was wearing at the time of his disappearance. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to crimestoppersvic.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Search for drowned men continues Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE Frankston police have patrolled the beach at Carrum daily in the hope of finding the bodies of John Montgomery Robinson and Andrew McNeil, the two lads who are believed to have been drowned while fishing off the foreshore on 1st April, but so far the search has been without success. Anyone finding pieces of clothing or any thing in the locality that might help to determine the fate of the boys is requested to communicate with the Frankston police. *** IN accordance with our usual custom our next issue will be published on Thursday evening instead of Friday evening, the latter day being Good Friday. Intending advertisers are notified that advertisements must reach this office not later than ten o’clock on the Thursday morning to ensure insertion in next week’s issue. *** ON Easter Monday Night a grand picture show will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, in aid of the funds of the local Roman Catholic Church. *** MESSRS Adamson Strettle and Co. will hold their opening sale at the Tanti Yards on Monday next, when they will offer fat, store, and dairy cattle and sundries. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday next, when the

following business will be transacted :—Show matters, disposal of apple crop and other business. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale of household furnishings and effects, also quantity of poultry, this afternoon, on the premises,Finlay street, Frankston, on account of Mrs Croxford, who is leaving the district. The sale will commence at 3 o’clock. *** A PLEASING function took place at the ordinary meeting of the Frankston Red Cross Society on Wednesday, when Miss Watson, who has acted as assistant secretary to the branch and taken a great interest in its success, since its formation, and who is now leaving the district, was presented with a handsome wristlet watch, by the President (Mrs Maxwell) on behalf of the members. General regret was expressed at the lady’s departure, and best wishes for her future welfare. *** IN order to reduce the debt at present existing on the Somerville Mechanics’ Institute, the committee intend holding a great Jumble Fair in the Horticultural Hall on Easter Saturday and Monday, 22nd and 24th April. There will be a large number of attractions, including hoopla, a fancy stall, produce stall, etc. The fair will open on Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock, and on Monday evening at 7. The duties of secretary are in the

capable hands of Mrs Georg Keast, with Mrs G. Griffeth as President. *** SEAFORD. The construction of the much needed road to the Seaford Railway Station was commenced last week. Messrs Bladin and Wallace being the contractors. Satisfactory prices were obtained for 18 blocks of land in the township on the Main road which were sold lately. A send-off was given to Messrs W. Martin and A. Hall on the 1st inst. There was a large number present, as both gentlemen had made themselves very popular. The Rev. G. A. Kitchen, on behalf of the residents, made a presentation of wallets to each of the recruits, and wished them a safe return. The rest of the evening was taken up by dancing, vocal items and cards. *** NOTE of Sacrifice Struck by Rev. Professor Adam. He Speaks at University: “It is no petty warfare, this,” said the Rev. Professor D. S Adam, Professor of Church History and Theology at Ormond College, addressing students last week on “ War and Sacrifice.” The lecture was delivered in the school of biology at the Melbourne University. “It is the greatest crisis in an Empire’s history, and those who make no sacrifices for the sake of King and country—aye, more, for the sake of the welfare of humanity and for the Kingdom of God—will not find it

hereafter to justify to themselves and to others their selfish apathy and indifference,” said Professor Adam. “Short of volunteering for service at the front, there are sacrifices which those whose duty requires them to stop at home, may and should make in their country’s cause at this time. The pleasures and luxuries of life may well be curtailed, that our resources may be husbanded to ensure success in the great struggle of the nations. “Russia has cut off the manufacture and use of ardent spirits that her children may be strengthened for the conflict, and France has in some measure, followed suit. A curtailment in the hours for sale of liquor has been enforced in South Australia and Sydney, and is likely to come into operation in Tasmania, and there is no reason why Victoria should not follow suit. Then racing and sports of all sorts may well be curtailed at a time when the flower of our manhood are risking their lives for us in the battlefield. “The War Funds and Red Cross Funds need all the financial help we can give them, and it is the least that those who stay at home can do to deny themselves somewhat of the pleasures and luxuries and amusement that they may be the better able to support their brave sons who are battling for the British Empire and the ideals of liberty and justice and humanity for which it stands. “It rests with the non-combatants to deny themselves in some way that

they may have some share, however small, in crushing the demon of militarism and securing that victory for the cause of righteousness and peace and liberty to which we confidently look forward.” *** THE Tasmanian Labor Government resigned on Thursday, and Mr. Earle recommended that Mr. Lee, as leader of the Opposition, should be sent for. THE present year of grace is LeapYear, i.e., the month of February had 29 days. Persons born on the 29th February are often teased about their lack of birthdays but an old statute passed in Henry III’s reign provided that for all practical purposes the 28th and 29th February should be one day, so that the birthday of a person born on 29th February is properly kept in any other than Leap-Year on 28th February. *** MR Commissioner Shaw, of the Water Commission, having inspected the Bunyip River, which is believed to be the best supply source for the Naval Base-Mornington Peninsula scheme is now examining the peninsula itself. Although the scheme has not been actually drawn up, it is believed that it will be possible to give a fine supply from the source indicated. Following on the promise made at the recent conference, the Water Commission is expediting the matter in every way. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 April, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Everything you needed to know about democracy (but were afraid to ask) By Stuart McCullough THERE has never been a more exciting time to call a double dissolution election. I love elections generally, but the possibility of a “double D” is enough to make me click my heels with joy. Fact is, double dissolution elections are about as rare as Halley’s comet and heaps more enjoyable because they don’t involve getting up at three o’clock in the morning, trudging into the back paddock and staring forlornly into the sky in the hope of seeing a little bit of light flash across the sky like a radioactive mosquito. In a mere matter of weeks, the nation will be gearing up for it’s favourite sausage sizzle. Butchers of Australia rejoice! Given the magnitude of unfolding events, it won’t be enough just to get a single snag as you line up to cast your vote. An occasion this grand requires at least two sausages so that you end up with piping hot meat missiles in each hand, wrapped in slices of Tip Top and splashed with tomato sauce. Granted, you might make quite a mess, but you can’t tell me that the Senate ballot paper wouldn’t make a pretty handy napkin if push should ever come to shove. This type of election is different to most. Usually, waiting for an election to be called is kind of like waiting for a bus to show up. You know it’s coming; you’re just not sure when. This time it’s different. With the exception of Clive Palmer being returned to the

lower house, absolutely anything is possible. It began, as so many great stories do, with a twist that would leave M. Night Shyamalan weeping with envy. Consider this: Parliament had started the winter recess and nearly everyone had gone home. An eerie peace had descended on Canberra. Then, when it was least expected, the Prime Minister strode purposefully into the Parliamentary courtyard and announced that he’d whipped over to see the Governor General who had

agreed to prorogue Parliament. First of all, as a nation we should all be grateful for the all too rare opportunity to use the word ‘prorogue’ in everyday conversation. Personally speaking, I’ve been working it into pretty much every discussion over the past three weeks and, frankly, it’s giving me a great deal of joy. I’d like to think that those on the receiving end are having a similarly splendid time. I fully intend to prorogue myself silly for at least the next month or so. To

$200,000 SCULPTURE COMMISSION

date, there’s nothing at all to suggest that novelty might wear off any time soon. (Here’s a hot tip: keep an eye out for the word ‘prorogue’ if I send you a Christmas card this year). When the history of 2016 is written, I think the Prime Minister’s announcement will be regarded as his ‘fully operational’ Death Star moment. Given that the move was largely directed at a bunch of Senators who have previously been compared to the ‘Star Wars cantina’, perhaps this was fitting. Doubtless, they would prefer to regard themselves as the Rebellion. It’s fair to say that there are some members of the Australian Senate who do not share my enthusiasm for a possible double dissolution election. In fact, they’re flat-out furious. This, I believe, may well be one of the reasons they’re often referred to as ‘the (very) cross bench’. Their fury is fuelled not merely by the fact of an election but that, this time around, they’ll need more people to actually vote for them. This is in stark contrast to the previous method involving exchanges of preferences that makes FIFA’s process for determining world cup hosts look positively transparent in comparison. However, whether we get a double dissolution election at all turns on whether the Senate passes a particular piece of legislation. In response to this, Senator Leyonhjelm of the ‘Liberal Democrats’ whose presence in the Senate

may, in fact, be the result of a clerical error, has stated that he won’t have a gun held to his head. Which, given his enthusiasm for firearms more generally, is something of an irony. While for some in the Senate, the upcoming election could be considered an existential threat, for others it’s the moment for which they’ve been waiting their entire lives. For Bill Shorten, it’s an opportunity to see whether he can ever be something more than opposition leader with a knack for the kind of dad jokes that provoke not so much a groan as the gnashing of teeth. After suffering from chronically low popularity ratings, for a time Bill Shorten’s hold on his job was only possible thanks to rules designed to protect others from Bill Shorten. But this is his moment. Doubtless he fancies his chances and we’re in for a fascinating contest. So there it is. With a simple press conference, our great nation may be well on its way to a double dissolution election. At least, that’s how I think it’s spelled. Doubtless someone else has already christened it the ‘double disillusion’ poll. Good for them. As for the rest of us, we should relax and bathe in democracy’s warm and gentle glow. It’ll be more fun that Game of Thrones and House of Cards combined. In fact, someone should use that as their election slogan. Let the excitement commence! stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Redlegs make a statement PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt NEW Mt Eliza coach Troy Shannon had no idea what to expect from his team in the opening round of the season against Pines in Peninsula Division on Saturday. The Edithvale–Aspendale premiership and 2015 Vic Country coach had taken over a club that, from the outside looking in, was in some strife. There was a big clean out throughout the off–season and Shannon was going into the first game without key forwards Scott Lockwood (Sorrento) and Justin Van Unen. He was also going into the match without between four and six of what he believes could be in their best side, including Matty Davis and Karl Lombardozzi. What Shannon was sure about though was that he had a footy team that was committed to the cause. “In all of my time in coaching, I’ve never come across a more driven group of players,” Shannon told the RPP Footy Show. With the Under 18s and Reserves coming off back-to-back premiership, there is a culture of success at the Mt Eliza Football Club – problem is, it’s not being tasted by the senior group. After Saturday’s performance against Pines, that might well change. Perhaps not this season or next, but the culture will no doubt change under Troy Shannon. Shannon told the Footy Show that the key for the club in securing recruits over the summer was to attract players who had played in premierships. Of the six key signings, four of them had tasted the ultimate success. “With players coming through with premiership success and now with some experienced players in the seniors with flag success, the group will know what is required to win premierships,” Shannon said. Mt Eliza were superb for four quarters against Pines on Saturday. The Pythons have prided themselves on team defence in recent times but the Redlegs were able to break that down and score, kicking 13.8 (86) to 9.10 (64). Jay Neratzoglou booted two goals for the Redlegs after returning to the club with brother Matt, while Dave Barton and man mountain recruit David Hand were instrumental. Aaron Edwards was among the Pines’ best with three goals while Beau Hendry and Shane Waterstone also worked hard. Karingal celebrated a thumping win against traditional rivals Langwarrin on Saturday, booting 16 goals to nine after quarter time to win 19.6 (120) to 11.10 (76). Leigh Poholke booted six goals on debut for the red and the white, Chris Hay dominated with three majors, as did Michael Burke. The trio proved that they will be a formidable in attack this season. Cal Dixon ran around for the Bulls like he had never left and looked the best he has looked in three seasons while youngsters Jackson Matthews and Brad Occhipinti are two of the excitement machines coming through. Langwarrin’s Kieran Albanese has always had all the talent in the world but has taken some time to bring it to the table. The shackles were released on Saturday and he responded with six goals. Nick Tuddenham and Gerard Brown were also among the best for the Kangas. Frankston YCW kicked off its 2016 season with its 15th straight victory, beating Seaford 16.15 (111) to 3.5 (23). With Lachy Wallace back from Collingwood duties and the likes of Scott Macleod, Luke Collins, Kyle Hutchison and Anthony Bruhn up and about, the Stonecats were just about at full strength. Ryley Hodson and Brenton Credlin stamped themselves on the competition last season and their start on Saturday was first class. Stonecats coach Scott Mathers told the RPP Footy Show that he was looking for the likes of Jack Greenwood (two goals) and Matt La Fontaine to take another step in their development this season, as well as a ‘few others’. “We’ve got to continue to keep improving and that’s going to come in the form of the older guys getting the best out of themselves and the younger players grabbing their opportunities,” Mathers said. Mornington put a tough end to the 2015 season and a less than good pre-season behind them on Saturday, beating Bonbeach by 13 points, 17.11 (113) to 15.10 (100). The Doggies led by 51 points at three quarter time but the Sharks stormed home with six goals to a point. Jackson Calder and Jimmy Cameron booted three each for the Dogs while Warwick Miller and Chris Baker were outstanding, along with the returning Brad Harvey. Shane McDonald booted three and was one of the Sharks’ best while Jackson Sole and Lachy Gill-Renouf were superb. Luke Damon played in Bonbeach’s reserves, booting six goals, being among the best.

Buds, Demons, answer doubters NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt AS the old adage goes, a week is a long time in football. Two weeks is like an eternity. On Good Friday a fortnight ago, traditional rivals Rosebud and Rye played in a game where many would have been asking for their money back at the end of the two hours. Wind the clock forward 15 days and both clubs have their season well and truly back on track. Some of us can be absolute suckers for writing off teams too early. Frankston Bombers coach Beau Muston said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that players take time to get going in a season and that making snap judgements after one performance could be fraught with danger. Muston was absolutely right. On Saturday, Rye knocked over the side widely tipped as the unbackable favorite to win the 2016 premiership – Somerville. Rosebud also turned its form completely around and beat a side that looked destined for great things this season, Dromana, after they had a wonderful Easter Saturday performance. Rye’s preparation for this match on Saturday against the Eagles was vastly contrasting to that of last season. Rye Football Club legend Scott Beel said the team was ‘flat’ after last year’s Good Friday game coming into round

Picture: Scott Memery

one after having a week off. “We got trounced in round one against Hastings last year so we decided to play a practice match last week against St Bedes–Mentone so that we didn’t lose that continuity,” Beel said on the RPP Footy Show. “I guess the result of the match against Somerville will determine whether our strategy was right or not.” Again, the former superstar Beel was spot on. Rye jumped out of the blocks and led the Eagles by 10 points at quartertime. The very important Brady Egan was back into the line up and took no time in getting going, while best on ground on Good Friday, Adam Kirkwood, was dominant again in the defensive half

of the ground. Up front, despite not playing for a couple of seasons, Matt Greig, 38-year-old son of former North Melbourne champ, Keith, was moving nicely once again and finished with five majors. By half time the Demons had broken the game open and led by almost five goals. Criticised for their team defence through the week and not working hard enough when they didn’t have the Sherrin, Rye went about sticking it up yours truly and succeeded, restricting the heaviest scoring team in the business to just eight goals. The Demons booted 13.8 (86) to 8.12 (80). Matty Dunn, who shone against

Rosebud, was superb for the Demons, while Ryan Mullett was again a class above. The Eagles were choked. Ben Crowe was among his sides best in his second game back for the Eagles and Scott Simpson was outstanding again. Rosebud also gave yours truly a whack with performance, whipping Dromana to the tune of more than 10 goals, 16.15 (111) to 7.5 (47). Keegan Downie was sensational for the Buds with five goals while Greg Bentley was back into the line up and had an immediate impact, booting two goals and getting among the best on the park. The run and free-flowing play of Dromana that we saw two weeks ago against Sorrento was completely shut down by the Buds. The pressure and attack of the reigning premier was back on show and they were relentless for four quarters. Daniel Guerts and youngster Jason Buchanan were the best of the Tigers. Sorrento are no wins from two matches after being soundly beaten by Hastings at David McFarlane Reserve. The Blues were up and about from the get go and led by 13 points at quarter time. They ran out 16.15 (111) to 11.12 (78) winners. Paul Rogasch and Luke Hewitt booted two each for the winners while the returning Mark Deverereaux and Josh Mulheron dominated in the middle and around the ground. Matt Clifford and Shaun Foster are

outstanding players and their dominance also was a key to the game and Hastings’ win. Key forwards for the Sharks in Scott Lockwood and Nick Corop netted just one goal. James Hallahan led from the front and tried his best to deliver something while Jack Flack worked hard also. In a 16 round season, starting with two losses in such an even competition could be tough to come back from. We know better than to write off the Sharks too early though. Frankston Bombers are away to a flying start after beating Tyabb 24.15 (159) to 2.11 (23). The Bombers booted 17 goals to one after half time, Sam Fox booting seven and Zac Longham five, while Ryan Kitchen and Ryan Marks-Logan dominated. Lachlan Cox and Sean Miller were the best of the Yabbies. Devon Meadows got away to a solid start also, beating an almost full strength Pearcedale 13.17 (95) to 4.11 (35). Glenn Michie booted five and Stevey Roberts was the best player on the park with three goals for the winners, while Andy Kiely shone and Chris Doria dominated through the middle with two goals. Youngsters Alex Harnett, Joel White and Daniel Heijden were the best of the Dales.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 13 April 2016

THREE members of the one family – a father and his two sons – were awarded life membership of the Carrum Cricket Club at its presentation night on Friday 1 April. It’s the first time three members of the one family have been honoured – especially on the one night! The trio – Greg, Cory and Shaun Foster – fulfilled the club’s life membership criteria of playing 100 senior games. “Over their time they have all contributed immensely to the culture and success of the club,”

club secretary Dylan Steed said. Shaun and Cory play in Carrum’s firsts while father Greg enjoys playing in the thirds. “The Fosters are at the heart of the Carrum Cricket Club and certainly deserve this recognition for their valuable service to our club and community,” Mr Steed said. “They have been involved in the club for well over a decade and awarding them our club’s highest honour is a true testament to their loyalty and service.”

Perfect start for Mornington, Strikers, Baxter LEAGUE 1 SOUTH-EAST

Midfield marvel: Skye United captain Mark O’Connor. Picture: Gemma Sliz

Hames had broken clear in the 72nd minute then Paul Kuol broke Pines’ hearts with a mazy run in the 88th minute and a stunning finish. Kuol skipped past four opponents who all threw themselves into illtimed tackles then struck a firm drive past Pines keeper James Laminski and into the far corner for the leveller. Langwarrin slumped to a 3-1 loss away to Malvern City in their State 1 South-East fixture last weekend. Caleb Nicholes scored in the 3rd minute for Langy with a strong run and lashing finish into the top corner. Langy’s Dutch defensive combo of

Alax Van Heerwarden and Michael Hoogendyk were then forced to confront the home team’s onslaught but two goals in three minutes turned the contest in Malvern’s favour. Pablo Caceras levelled with a cracking free kick in the 29th minute then midfielder Jordan Templin, who had trialled with Mornington and Casey Comets during the pre-season but was unable to agree to terms, had a tap-in in the 32nd minute after Langy failed to clear from a cross. Malvern substitute Shane Gibson rounded off the scoreline in the 75th minute.

“It was a fairly even game but three minutes determined the result and although we controlled long periods Malvern were more decisive when it mattered,” said Langy gaffer Gus Macleod. Peninsula Strikers made it two wins on the trot when they staged a remarkable performance with 10 men to overcome visitors Doncaster Rovers in their State 2 South-East fixture on the weekend. Perennial penalty box predator Paul Presti was the hat-trick hero who spearheaded the 3-1 win. Strikers led 1-0 at half time but

FRANKSTON Vs Werribee Dev League 11am Seniors 2pm at Frankston Park

FRANK

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON, Strikers and Baxter have won their opening two games of the 2016 soccer season. But Mornington’s 3-1 win at home to Manningham United on Saturday masks the problems Adam Jamieson’s men had in the first half of their State 1 South-East clash. “Manningham missed a penalty early on and they really should have been 2-0 up. They’re a decent side,” said Jamieson. Mornington regained its composure and went in at the break with a 1-0 lead after a sweeping move involving Northern Irish import Sammy Stewart, ex-Manningham midfielder Chris Reid and Shane Tagliaferro with Wayne Gordon bursting through into a one-on-one with Manningham keeper Stefan Taleski and slotting it past him to break the deadlock. A quality strike by Gordon from the edge of the area in the second stanza gave Mornington a two-goal cushion and that was extended by midfield maestro Craig Smart following a superb interpassing move that ended when Tagliaferro chested the ball down and Smart buried it with a sweet strike from 12 metres. Manningham’s consolation goal couldn’t stop Jamieson’s men from claiming top spot in the league, a position they have become accustomed to in recent times. Fellow State 1 outfit Frankston Pines had three points stolen from its grasp in the dying minutes of its home clash with Morwell Pegasus on Saturday. Pines created the better chances in the opening period but Nick Lekakis headed wide at the far post from Kyle Crawford’s cross in the 25th minute and CJ Hodgson’s fierce strike in the 40th minute following Jordan Avraham’s corner was spectacularly parried wide by teenage Morwell custodian Liam Andersen. Pines took the lead in the 50th minute following Mathew Hames’ surge into the Morwell area where his close skills bamboozled two defenders and his cut back was knocked into the path of Crawford who slid down and struck it past Andersen from pointblank range. Morwell created its best chance of the contest in the 63rd minute when a fine run by towering central midfielder Mat Luak ended when he slid a through ball to striker Fraser Rock who shot over with the goal at his mercy. Andersen kept his side in the contest with a low near-post save after

early in the second stanza a behindthe-play incident resulted in the send-off of veteran Cameron Leopold and a penalty awarded which Rovers converted. Rovers pressed Strikers for the next 15 minutes but Presti’s goals killed off the contest. Seaford United withstood an onslaught from visitor Sandringham City in their State 2 South-East encounter then stole the points with an 87th minute winner fashioned by two players plucked from the obscurity of the club’s thirds team. Adam Martin hammered the ball against the crossbar and the rebound was headed home by substitute Mitchell Lander for an unexpected victory. Skye United grabbed a second successive point in State 4 South having to settle for a 1-1 home draw with Hampton Park United last weekend. Dogan Dagli had been signed from Keysborough in the off-season and opened his account from close range enabling Skye to take a 1-0 lead into the interval. Hampton Park levelled in the 75th minute ensuring a tense finale to a hard-fought contest. Baxter won 4-1 away to East Bentleigh on Saturday and is second in State 5 South while local rival Rosebud Heart had a bye. Baxter opened its account in the 6th minute when a Liam Kilner back post header teed up Markus Oliphant who finished from close range. In the 29th minute a miskick from Scottish import Mark Pagliarulo fell for Bryce Ingram who slotted home past the East Bentleigh keeper. Baxter led 3-0 at half time thanks to a superb shot from outside the area by 20-year-old Jake Kidder. East Bentleigh hit back eight minutes into the second stanza and missed two other chances to get back in the match before a trademark Kilner free kick completed the scoreline. NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Friday, 15 April, 8.30pm: Springvale City v Skye Utd (Ross Reserve). Saturday, 16 April, 3pm: Langwarrin v Clifton Hill (Lawton Park), South Springvale v Mornington (Warner Reserve), Seaford Utd v St Kilda (North Seaford Reserve), Noble Park Utd v Peninsula Strikers (Parkfield Reserve), Baxter v Dandenong Warriors (Baxter Park), White Star Dandenong v Rosebud Heart (Greaves Reserve).
