Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CONSULTATION about options to separate road from rail at level crossings along the Frankston line has begun with a series of drop-in sessions held in suburbs along the rail line this month from Cheltenham to Frankston.

Staff from the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA), including engineers, were on hand to begin the process of talking to affected communities about possible design plans to remove level crossings including concern about the visual and noise impact of elevated rail along parts of the Frankston line.

Opponents of elevated rail, dubbed sky rail, were unimpressed with the lack of detail on offer at these initial community consultation sessions.

No Sky Rail: Frankston Line group spokesman Willem Popp said the LXRA sessions were “warm and fuzzy” without answers being available.

“It was designed to keep us happy but not give any answers,” he said.

“They were biased towards sky rail in all the material on display. It was all very much anti-underground solution and pro-sky rail solution.”

Visitors to the LXRA consultation sessions could leave post-it notes on maps showing where level crossings will be removed.

“The comments left on the post-it notes on the maps and the signs were overwhelmingly against sky rail in way, shape or form.”

The Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum group, a community group that speaks to politicians and council about local issues, is also worried about the impact of elevated rail on suburbs along the Frankston line.

Group spokesman Cameron Howe at-

tended consultation sessions and said a lack of answers about engineering logistics at this stage is baffling.

“The consultation process is not transparent and it appears that the authority is making changes on the fly which is of concern as it will impact the end result and ultimately the lives of many people,” he said.

LXRA project director Adam Maguire said there had been “a great response” to the first round of community consultation sessions with more than 1500 people making the effort to go along to speak with staff about level crossing removals.

“There will be two further opportunities in 2016 for the community to provide feedback, the first in mid-year when the feasible design options are presented, and the second at the end of the year on recommended designs,” Mr Maguire said.

Feedback on level crossings removal plans can be left online via a Social Pinpoint tool on the LXRA website targeting comments at specific locations along the Frankston line.

The authority will release options for level crossings removals in mid-year so it will become clear whether sky rail is an option for the Frankston line at that point.

A final “recommended option” for the Labor state government to consider will be announced by the LXRA at the end of this year.

This project is expected to go to tender in 2017 and construction will begin in 2018.

“The LXRA can dress this up any way it wants and the government can choose the solution it wants but it will be at its own peril,” Mr Popp said.

“The community is dead against sky rail.”

Call to halt CSIRO cuts Political points scoring Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

over rates cap policy

THE former chief scientist of Australia Ian Chubb spoke at a public meeting last Tuesday (22 March) at Aspendale Primary School’s school hall and urged governments to maintain long-term investment in science for the good of the nation.

Mr Chubb’s appearance at the event, hosted by federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus and attended by about 300 people, came in the shadow of a planned restructure of the CSIRO and cuts to the scientific research agency’s Oceans and Atmosphere research program.

More than half of 100 climate change research staff at the CSIRO’s Aspendale laboratories face the prospect of losing their jobs and scientists across the world fear cuts to Australia’s monitoring of climate change in the Southern hemisphere may have global implications (‘Jobs go in science cuts blow’, The News 10/2/16).

The New York Times slammed Australia for “turning its back on climate science” in an editorial last month.

“Long-term research on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, and on changing ocean and weather processes, is essential to learn what lies ahead and how to prepare for it,” the editorial said.

Federal Labor research spokesman Kim Carr, who also addressed last Tuesday’s meeting, has called on the Turnbull government to intervene to postpone any restructure of the CSIRO until after this year’s federal election.

“Australia’s reputation for worldclass climate science and CSIRO’s

POLITICAL barbs continue to be exchanged over the Labor state government’s rate capping policy, dubbed the Fair Go Rates system by the government, for councils across Victoria.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins announced last week that the Essential Services Commission will publish its annual rate cap recommendation, based on the cost of inflation, each year.

The ESC recommended councils should not increase rates by any more than 2.8 per cent for the 2016-17 financial year, based on the Consumer Price Index and Wage Price Index.

Ms Hutchins decided rate rises should be limited to 2.5 per cent based on CPI. The Minister says the launch of the Know Your Council website last year benchmarking individual councils against similar-sized councils across categories such as rates cost, missed rubbish bin collections and customer service satisfaction levels, is another way the government is making local government more transparent.

“Local communities should have all the facts, so I’m more than happy for the ESC to publish its recommendations on rate capping,” Ms Hutchins said.

“By introducing the Fair Go Rates system, the Andrews Labor government is delivering on its commitment to cap council rate rises and protect Victorian households from uncontrolled hikes.”

Shadow spokesman for Local Government David Davis accused the state government of being less than transparent when it comes to how Ms Hutchins determines rate rise caps.

reputation as one of the world’s premier public research agencies are now at risk,” Mr Carr said in a statement last week.

“Delaying the cuts will give CSIRO an opportunity to consult properly with both staff and research partners, and to get an accurate understanding of the impact of these cuts, not just on CSIRO’s research capacity, but on Australia’s broader research standing.”

CSIRO CEO Larry Marshall says the science research body will “pivot” to support Australia’s commodities industry.

Mr Dreyfus said “science cuts are dumb cuts”.

“If the Liberals thinks these cuts are such a good idea, Malcolm Turnbull should take them to the election and let the Australian people decide,” he said.

“Only a Labor government will commit to science and research and provide the CSIRO Research Centre in Aspendale with the funding and support that it deserves.”

A rally to try to save CSIRO jobs will be held at midday on Saturday 2 April at the State Library of Victoria.

The CSIRO executive says it will finish consultations two days later, on 4 April, and will then make final decisions on the restructure and begin offering redundancies to staff.

Focus on councils: Natalie Hutchins has imposed a rates rise cap on councils.

The Liberal MP noted the ESC has refused to table its advice in Parliament to Ms Hutchins about how it determines an annual rate rise cap figure.

“The truth is that Minister Hutchins’ cap figure is entirely arbitrary. It bears no resemblance to actual inflation, which increased by only 1.1 per cent in the last full financial year,” Mr Davis said.

“Nor does it give any concession for wage price costs, something councils, and the ESC itself recommended be taken into consideration.

“While the state government has sought to cap council rates it has simultaneously been cutting state government financial support for local councils and, in breach of Premier Andrews’ election promises, jacking up state government taxes like the fire services levy.”

Guide to council business on the cards Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A HANDY guide to the services Kingston Council is responsible for will be made available to ratepayers after councillors voted to ask council officers to list the roles council undertakes on behalf of the state government.

Cr Geoff Gledhill put forward the proposal in the wake of the newly introduced rates cap.

“I think the state government’s changes to councils’ setting of rates with the introduction of a rates capping policy has put the focus on how councils spend money, what councils spend money on and how it operates and that’s not necessarily a bad thing,” Cr Gledhill said.

He said ratepayers and taxpayers wanted transparency and accountability over how their money is spent by all levels of government.

Cr Tamara Barth agreed a convenient guide for ratepayers would be beneficial since it would let people know which level of government to approach about specific problems.

“It’s about trying to teach people who is accountable for what and where their hard-earned funds go,” she said.

At a public council meeting earlier this month councillors voted seven to two to have the information compiled for ratepayers’ benefit.

Crs Steve Staikos and Rosemary West believed it is difficult to “draw the line” between the state govern-

ment and councils over the provision of some services.

“Basically all council roles are on behalf of state government because we are created by state government,” Cr West said.

“That means it’s quite difficult to draw the line between where you start and where you stop. It could be said everything is done by state government.”

Cr West said a cost-shifting analysis to name services delegated from state to councils would be more relevant but she backed rate capping.

“I am a rate capper. I can’t see why rates should rise faster than the ratepayers’ incomes. I have voted against the [council] budget on occasion.”

Focus on responsibilities: Kingston Council will produce a guide for ratepayers detailing the services council provides. Picture: Gary Sissons

Bay crossing goes overboard for entertainment Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au PASSENGERS on the final ferry for the day on Tuesday were entertained by a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the vessel and leaping from its bow waves.

Researchers believe the dolphins’ “bow riding” is a social activity often indulged in after a meal.

“Without mind-reading a dolphin, it just looks likes good fun; the equivalent of a surfer catching the perfect

wave,” Dolphin Research Institute research director Sue mason said.

Coincidentally, Tuesday’s display was admired from the ferry’s aft deck by surfers Ted Bainbridge (founder of Peninsula Surf), Laurie Thompson (founder Islantis Surfboards) and surfboard maker Mick Pierce returning from a Pioneer’s Day held in conjunction with the annual Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach Easter contest.

Thompson recounted being “escorted into harbour” by dolphins while sailing to the Andaman Islands

in the Indian Ocean with Bainbridge some years ago. Pierce sees pods of Port Phillip dolphins while travelling in a smaller boat to a favourite wave spot near Point Nepean.

While the dolphins made good use of the bow waves a jet-ski rider used the ferry’s wake as a launching ramp.

One dolphin appeared to chase the jet-ski in much the same way as a dog runs after a car and, as soon as he saw the dolphin, the rider stopped accelerating as required by law.

“Our resident dolphins in Port Phil-

lip are often spotted bow riding. Some of the best places to see dolphins bowriding is on the bow of the SorrentoQueenscliff ferry or on some of the bigger vessels off Mornington,” Ms Mason said.

“While dolphins will approach vessels to bow ride, it is imperative that swimmers, paddlers, recreational vessels and jets-skis are aware of minimum approach distances to dolphins.

“These regulations exist to reduce the impacts on dolphins and ensure the safety of both the dolphins and the

people observing them.”

Distances that must be maintained from dolphins, whales and seals can be found on the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning website: depi.vic.gov.au/environmentand-wildlife/wildlife/ The Dolphin Research Institute has been monitoring the dolphins in Port Phillip for the past 25 years and recently launched 25th anniversary appeal.

Leadership on family violence: Rosie Batty has been appointed head of a new Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council by the state government. Picture: Gary Sissons

New role for Rosie Batty FORMER Australian of the Year Rosie Batty will lead a new Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council as part of a state government plan to implement all recommendations of a Royal Commission into Family Violence due to hand down its recommendations this week.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the advisory council will have a say on how the Labor state government ensures the Royal Commission’s findings are used to reform the family violence system across Victoria.

Ms Batty’s son Luke was murdered by his father Greg Anderson, who had a history of mental illness and violence against Ms Batty, at the Tyabb football and cricket oval in February 2014.

Mr Anderson was shot by police and died in hospital the day after the horrific incident that shocked the nation.

Ms Batty became a high-profile advocate against family violence and lobbyist for more protection for victims.

“I’m very proud to have former Australian of the Year Rosie Batty lead the Victims Survivors’ Advisory Council.

Her courage and leadership is an inspiration to all of us,’’ Mr Andrews said.

Prevention of Family Violence Minister Fiona Richardson thanked victims of domestic abuse for speaking out at Royal Commission hearings.

“Survivors have told us their stories. Now we need to make sure we give them the change they have long asked for,’’ she said.

Ms Batty’s appointment has bipartisan political support.

“Rosie is a formidable advocate and a great contributor for better public policy,” State Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy said.

GETTING jet skis banned from Port Phillip could be a long, hard grind for its current sole public advocate, Cr Hugh Fraser. His first hurdle will be to persuade a majority of his council colleagues to support him.

But Cr Fraser, veteran barrister at law, can be persuasive and determined.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has no policy position on jet skis, says Cr Bev Colomb, currently president of the Association of Bayside Municipalities (ABM), through which Cr Fraser must advance his case for a ban.

His first task will be to convince his councillor colleagues – a number of whom could prove difficult to sway – to support his cause and to establish a shire policy. Only after he has achieved that can he begin advocating to the ABM, which may be even harder to persuade.

The 10-council group covers the entire bay coast, including Hobsons Bay. Its members must agree to lobby the state government to ban jet skis.

While some councils, including Mornington Peninsula Shire, have problems with “personal water craft” (PWCs), as jet skis and other powered water craft are formally known, not all are likely to favour a ban, for a variety of reasons, including recreational and political, and pressure from watercraft owners and the PWC industry.

Cr Fraser’s case is straightforward.

“Jet skiers and swimmers don't mix,” he says. “It's no different to a motor-

bike on a footpath.”

The Victorian Jet Sports Boating Association put the same argument to a 2014 submission to a state government inquiry into the marine rescue services.

“A 300 horsepower watercraft is a deadly weapon in the wrong hands, just as a 200hp motorbike is a deadly weapon in the wrong hands,” its vicepresident Shan Newman stated. “Most modern watercraft are faster from 0-100 than just about any Ferrari on the road.”

Mr Newman’s submission also argued for a tougher licence test for PWC operators. It was too easy for a 12-year-old to get one after “an easy multiple choice test”.

Cr Fraser echoes this easy going attitude many PWC owners have to their craft. “Once launched, jet skiers return to anchor close in off shore among swimmers,” he says. “This has to stop. Separate designated areas aren't policed and don't work.”

He is on shakier ground with his next line of argument – that jet skis are banned from Sydney Harbour and therefore Victoria could do the same on our bay. Sydney’s harbour buzzes with watercraft, from cruise liners and speedy catamaran ferries to spectacular skiffs, ocean-going yachts and humble tinnies.

Our bay has a fraction of Sydney’s boat numbers, spread over a less constricted space.

Again, Cr Fraser gets support from Mr Newman of the jet boats group.

“It only takes a small handful of reckless individuals to tarnish the reputation of a sport or recreation,”

he wrote in his submission. “But none more so than [PWC] operation; this is compounded because when a watercraft is used in a reckless manner, it is usually witnessed by hundreds of people at a crowded beach.”

Tension has existed between jet skis and swimmers for years. In March 2012 a swimmer died after being hit by a jet ski with two men on board in a “swimming only” area in Port Melbourne. The jet ski did not stop, returning only after it was waved down by nearby fishermen.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire’s draft marine precincts strategy, dated September 2014 and produced by consultant AECOM, contains only two references to jet skis. They are almost identical.

The strategy quotes “government and agency feedback” stating that “jet skis are a growth industry that government policy and initiatives should support in terms of manufacturing, servicing and recreational infrastructure”.

“Parks Victoria estimated that the jet ski market has grown by approximately 19 per cent in recent times.”

Further down, the report reveals that the “government and agency” was in fact Parks Victoria but adds no further detail.

While much of this is imprecise consultant chaff – was “recent times” an acceptably precise term to use in a report to council? – the one important fact that emerges is the huge growth in the number of these craft.

The Association of Bayside Municipalities meets every second month. Cr Colomb says it has a crowded agenda

Don’t bet on ban: Jet skis are a regular sign off Port Phillip beaches especially in the summer months.

for its next meeting (21 April), focusing on the implications for the bay and its beaches of the sale of the Port of Melbourne.

The group also has research under way and continuing coastal issues such as beach cleaning, she says.

The ABM welcomes all councillors to attend its meetings but only one delegate a council can vote.

With the next Mornington Peninsula Shire council meeting scheduled for 11 April, Cr Fraser has ample time to prepare his case for his councillor colleagues.

The problem is the date of the next ABM meeting, with its packed agenda possibly mean-

ing the jet ski matter may not be discussed this side of the federal election.

Cr Fraser may be about to experience a winter of – if not discontent, at least niggling frustration. To “persuasive” and “determined” he may have to add “patient”.

At least most jet skis will be absent from the bay, snugged down for the cold months, as he waits. n The Association of Bayside Municipalities comprises the Cities of Port Phillip, Kingston, Bayside, Melbourne, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, Greater Geelong and Frankston, the Borough of Queenscliffe and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

NEWS DESK Little athletes boost KINGSTON Council has been awarded funding from the Community Sports Infrastructure Fund to help upgrade Moorabbin’s GR Bricker Reserve Athletics Track.

Council has already committed $900,000 of ratepayers’ funds over the next two years to the $1.2million project to upgrade the running track to improve conditions for the 250 junior athletes from the Moorabbin Little Athletics Club.

The state government announced it will also contribute $300,000 to the project after Council’s grant application to the Community Sports Infrastructure Fund was successful.

Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the Moorabbin Little Athletics Club did a fantastic job promoting a healthy and active lifestyle to hundreds of young people each year.

“It’s time their facility was upgraded to ensure our young people have a modern, safe track to compete and train on,” Cr Bearsley said. “The current surface will be replaced with a modern rubber surface to comply with current standards for competition tracks.”

Chair of Kingston’s Sport and Recreation Committee Cr Paul Peulich, a former Moorabbin Little Athlete, said the project would benefit hundreds of local families.

“As former athlete who started out at Moorabbin Little Aths, I couldn’t be happier with this upgrade providing little athletes with quality facilities in our own local community.

People of all ages, young and older alike, are encouraged to take advantage of Kingston’s sport and recreation opportunities to participate, be active and lead healthier lifestyles.”

Cr Peulich said.

Time to hit sugar before it hurts HIDDEN dangers posed by excessive sugar consumption are coming home to roost with higher obesity rates and increased levels of diabetes being recorded in Australia.

The average Australian aged between 19 and 30 consumes about 40 teaspoons of sugar each day according to Australian Bureau of Statistics research.

Despite mounting evidence sugar, both contained in soft drinks and junk food and hidden in processed foods, is having a negative effect on the health of consumers Australian governments have yet to follow the example of the UK where celebrity chef Jamie Oliver convinced authorities to introduce a sugar tax on soft drinks.

The levy, to be introduced in 2018, is seen as the first major move to combat excessive sugar in food and drinks.

Closer to home, Chelsea’s Oscar Zosel, 6, has already made the decision not to consume soft drinks.

Oscar’s mum Rebecca Zosel says she works in the public health sector and tries to promote healthy eating so “it’s pleasing to see that some of it is sinking in”.

Ms Zosel, a member of Parents’ Voice, an online network of parents who are interested in improving the food and activity environments of Australian children, is happy that her son’s kinder, Patterson Lakes Kindergarten, has a “fantastic healthy food policy” but she says healthy living begins at home.

“As a parent I’m becoming more conscious of my children’s diets,” she said.

“I’m pretty shocked at the amount of hidden sugars.

“Even with our best intentions, we’re not doing the right thing and looking after our own and the next generation’s health.”

Oscar has shown an interest in cutting down on sugar so Ms Zosel was happy to help her son make sugar-free slushies in lieu of soft drinks.

She hopes Australian governments will come to the table soon on introducing a sugar tax with the taxes collected ideally funnelled towards subsidising healthy food choices.

“You know taxes do change behaviour. We know that from tobacco pricing.”

The Australian Beverages Council, an industry body representing manufacturers, importers and distributors of non-alcoholic beverages, claims a soft drinks tax would be a fruitless exercise and “soft drinks contribute just 1.7 per cent of the daily intake of kilojoules for Australian adults”.

“When it comes to discretionary foods, soft drinks are ranked seventh in kilojoule contribution,” CEO Geoff Parker said in a statement released earlier this month.

“Soft drinks can absolutely be enjoyed in moderation. Food and beverage consumption is a personal choice, not a revenue raiser.”

“CFA brigades welcome volunteers of any gender, age or cultural background. The one thing we all have in common is a commitment to serve our communities,” Mr Collier said.

“CFA Brigades are from the community and for the community. We want

our membership to be as diverse as the communities of which we are part.

“The jobs a volunteer can undertake are quite diverse. Volunteers operate at every level, from front line firefighter or community education roles, through to the most senior incident command roles, in specialist roles such as being a fire Investigator, emergency medical response, and in support roles handling things like administration, equipment maintenance, logistics and fundraising.”

Mr Collier said involving more

women had been “a particular success for CFA over the past generation”.

“Women now make up more than 20 per cent of all CFA volunteers. Nearly 5000 women are front line firefighters and there are growing numbers of women in command roles such as brigade captain and group officer,” he said.

“Female volunteers are part of the great volunteer resource that gives CFA its surge capacity - the ability to put thousands of trained, experienced firefighters into the field at short

The number of people living in apartments in Kingston is expected to rise from 2011 levels of 1 per cent of the population to 16 per cent of the population by 2031.

Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley says council wants to hear from people currently living in apartments, or planning to in the next five years.

“With more apartments being built in Kingston, we’re keen to find out who’s moving in and what services they need,” Cr Bearsley said.

“Are they young families looking for kindergartens or empty nesters needing a seniors club to join? This survey will help us plan ahead to ensure the right services are provided.”

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 30 March 2016

FOR eight decades the neon Skipping Girl Vinegar sign has delighted children and adults as it lights up the streets of inner city Melbourne, at Abbotsford.

The girl known as Little Audrey - the original Skipping Girl lives at Sorrento.

Irene Barron, 94, was the model for what became Australia’s first animated neon sign while working as a young artist for Neon Electric Signs.

“I was nearly 14 when I started there after winning a drawing competition. The prize was you got to work there,” Mrs Barron said. “I was the smallest there and so they wanted someone to skip for them so they could see what the movement of the skipping rope was like and how my dress moved as well.”

Mrs Barron remembers skipping for hours to help the other designers work out how the famous neon rope should move.

“My mum made a dress for me to wear so they could get the movements right, and we had to climb over it when we were working on it because it was so big. It took up a lot of room.”

The original sign was erected over the Skipping Girl Vinegar factory in Abbotsford in 1936 before being moved to its present site at 651 Victoria St in the 1960s.

“I would get the train home every night and see the sign flashing from the carriage. I would look at it and think ‘Wow that’s me’,” Mrs Barron said.

When the Skipping Girl Vinegar factory was moved in 1968 and the building was demolished by Whelan the Wrecker to make way for the MFB Building in Victoria St, Abbotsford, Little Audrey sat dormant for years in a panel beater’s shop.

As fate would have it, a couple of years later she was discovered by another Melbourne icon, Barry Humphries. Soon public calls were heard for her restoration and by 1970; a new sign was made and restored in Victoria St 200 metres from the original site.

After being switched off in 1986 and again in 2001, the Skipping Girl sign was restored once again with thanks to AGL, the National Trust of Australia, the Heritage Council of Victoria and the Melbourne Restoration Fund. In her 75th year she was given solar power and now keeps on skipping brightly.

Although the last time Mrs Barron saw her was in the 1970s, the memory of her still burns bright as day.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Soldier thrives after heart surgery Compiled by Melissa Walsh SURGICAL circles in Great Britain unstintedly attribute to Major Scot Skirving, of Sydney, the performance of a remarkable and successful operation at Millbank Military Hospital.

The Major extracted a bullet from the heart of Private Houlder. Houlder was told he might live for two months, but he preferred to accept the surgeon’s offer to perform an operation, although he was told he had only a “100 to 1” chance.

He said goodbye to his comrades in the ward cheerfully, and the operation was performed. Houlder survived, and he is progressing satisfactorily. *** MR W. J. Oates was sworn in as a Justice of the Peace before Mr Justice Hodges on Wednesday last. *** DR Griffiths, of Somerville, notifies that he has again returned from active service, and has resumed practice at his residence. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when a good yarding of cattle, pigs and sundries is booked for sale. *** THE tin of tea raffled by Mrs G.Shepherd on Show Day, for the Y.M.C.A.. was won by Mrs Frank Jackson, of Somerville, 54 being the lucky number.

*** LANCE-Corporal Verney, who claims to be the first recruit who enlisted from Frankston, after serving some eighteen months at the front, has returned invalided, and is now enjoying a well-earned rest with his family. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Flower Show to be held on 3rd November, in aid of the patriotic funds was held on Thursday evening when the schedule was finally revised, and it was decided that the same be printed and circulated without delay. *** A LARGELY signed petition was presented at Flinders shire council on Saturday protesting against the employment of or the giving of contracts to men eligible for service at the front.

Cr Shand moved- “That only urgent and necessary maintenance work be proceeded with until the war is over.”

Cr Macfarlan moved that no single eligible men be directly employed by the council during the currency of the war. Both resolutions were carried. *** BUILDING blocks on “ The Island,” Frankston, seem to be gaining in favor with those anxious to secure a home at a seaside resort, and a number have changed hands of late. The property known as “Quamby” has been purchased by Mr. Moulton, and Mr Onions has bought a block from Mrs Spencer.

Mr Bray has also disposed of 100

feet frontage to Mr Bendixon, (who intends shortly to build), and 180 feet to Mr Logan, of the Defence department. *** MR A. M. Laughton, Government Statist, has issued a return showing the actual area and yield of wheat in Victoria for the seasons 1914-15 and 1915-16 respectively. It shows that the area sown last year was 3,679,971 acres, as against 2,863,535 the previous year, which produced 58 521,706 bushels in 1915-16 and 3,940 947 in 1914 15, giving an average of 15.19 bushels per acre for last year as against 1.38 bushels the previous year. The requirements for seed and consumption in 1916 are established at about 10,000,000 bushels. *** DURING the past week there has been a drop in the recruiting figures, and the returns for this week are not likely to be up to the number required in order that the full quota may be sent from Victoria. The danger lies in the shortage coming just when the reinforcements are most needed.

More than twice the number of men are required to make good the wastage and to meet rapidly and surely the call when it comes, as it must soon, for fighting men, trained to the highest pitch of efficiency, in order to maintain the army at its full strength. *** SENATOR Pearce holds that people should not be permitted to invest capi-

tal in picture shows while industries languish for want of money. *** WE understand that active steps are being taken to make a public presentation to those volunteers of the Frankston district, who have recently enlisted.

There are nearly 30 names of men drawn from the immediate neighbourhood of Frankston, and the presentation will be the fifth of the series. *** AN accident befell Mr Jas Whiteman, of Carrum, while returning to his home, on Saturday evening, after attending Messrs Adamson Strettle & Co’s monthly horse sale at Dandenong. Mr Whiteman, who experienced difficulty in getting several horses (which he had purchased) along the road, decided to ride one of them but, unfortunately, the animal threw him on the roadway and he sustained a broken leg, near the ankle. He was conveyed to Miss Ahern’s private hospital, in Thomas street, for medical attention. *** THE condition of Mr. Hughes, who is suffering from a severe attack of influenza, is improving. He had a much better night on Monday, and slept fairly well. On Tuesday afternoon the doctors made an examination and found that his temperature was 100.2.

It is now clearly a case of influenza, but the doctors consider that in view of his not too robust health it would

be unwise for him to risk leaving his room too soon. Moreover, the weather is extremely trying. There was snow on Monday night, and bitterly cold rain on Tuesday. March has not been so cold for years. Therefore it is probable that after a week or ten days he will take a rest in the country. His condition generally is not regarded as serious. *** FOR some time past there has been a shortage of labor at the State coal mine, especially as regards wheelers.

This is due principally to the fact that a large number of young men have enlisted, and in order to fill their places probationary miners have been taken off coal and employed at the work.

During the week a large number of men who state that they have been engaged in Ballarat and Bendigo and have had to undergo medical examination in those places, have been put on to work at coal getting at the mine.

The miners who were doing wheeling work naturally thought they should have received the first preference for coal getting, and complained to the federation, the executive officers of which interviewed Mr Broome on the matter.

As a result many of the old hands will be put on coal, and their places will be filled by new arrivals. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 April, 1916

Given the volume, it’s inevitable that some promises will fall by the wayside. At the time the fateful words were uttered, he probably meant it was something he’d get around to in the distant future, never dreaming that the conditions would conspire such that his time might, in fact, be right now.

Granted, he’s got a new album to support and a young family, but he needs to look at the bigger picture. Having said he wants to be President the simple fact is this: Kanye West – your country needs you.

I know little about American politics. And what I do know I learned from repeated viewings of House of Cards as opposed to any (for want of a better term) actual study. Interest in this year’s primary season has been especially heightened, and not just because some of us have to fill a The West Wing-shaped void in our souls. Once, the idea that Kanye could be President was on par with suggesting that either Hootie or the Blowfish ought to be Secretary of State. But things have changed. I doubt Kanye West is a Republican, but it appears now that not being a Republican is no longer the impediment to being the Republican nominee it used to be.

I don’t pretend to understand the Donald Trump phenomenon. To the untrained observer he seems brash, rude and (frankly speaking) kind of stupid. Worst of all, these are the key elements of his appeal. Having studied the method behind the madness from afar, I’m convinced that Kanye can not only match ‘The Donald’ but comprehensively beat him. There’s no

To beat ‘The Donald’, you need someone who’s even more of a maverick than he is.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 30 March 2016

As best as I can tell, insults are a key element of Donald Trump’s election platform. In simple terms, he’s not afraid to ‘go there’, unless, of course, that place is Mexico. So far, he’s managed to insult just about eve-

ryone. To see other candidates largely constrained by convention is a bit like watching someone turn up to a gunfight with a slingshot. Kanye, however, would not be cowed. In fact, there’s a great tradition of insulting others in rap music. Donald Trump wouldn’t know what’d hit him, as Presidential aspirant West unloads a torrent of killer rhymes. Trump might be capable of flinging mud much like an orangutan does it’s own filth, but compared to Kanye, he’s a total amateur. If you don’t believe me, look at Twitter. It’s a scientific fact that Trump’s tweets look bland when you compare them to Kanye’s.

A key part of Donald Trump’s appeal involves talking about how awesome Donald Trump is. In an ideal world, effusive praise of this nature would come from other people. However, if other people aren’t willing to step up to the plate, then you’ve no choice but to do it yourself. If we were to be extremely generous, we might describe such blatant acts of selfaggrandisement as simply refusing to hide his light under a bushel. It might also be described as boasting. Having been left to blow his own trumpet in a way that would shame Miles Davis, Donald Trump deploys techniques to persuade the casual observer that such praise is coming from other people by frequently referring to himself in the third person.

Once again Kanye has him beat.

Just like Donald Trump, rap music requires that you project an image of success. And of all the rappers who ever drew breath, Kanye is especially adept and pointing out precisely how fantastic he is. Donald Trump might brag about his business acumen, but

he never wrote a song called ‘I Am A God’. In fact, if Kanye were here he would be quick to point out that he was only laying claim to being ‘a’ god rather than ‘the’ god and that this was a substantial act of restraint.

Kanye West is a better businessman.

Consider the evidence: Donald Trump has alienated millions of potential voters. Kanye, on the other hand, understands that these are all people who might either vote for him or, if not, at least buy his album. Kanye West might say outlandish stuff, but it’s generally for publicity and he’s never threatened to build a wall that would drive Pink Floyd to the brink of despair.

I realise that Kanye is yet to throw his (no doubt) very stylish hat into the ring. But it’s not too late. In the event of a contested convention, a new contender could emerge. This is when Kanye should make his move. Rather than a fanfare, there’ll be the sound of a drum machine as Kanye emerges from the crowd. Trump might be expecting a battle for the nomination, but he’s ill prepared for a microphone fight.

I, for one, am genuinely looking forward to a Kanye West presidency.

In particular, I await the moment in which the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize is knocked off the stage by an ebullient President West as he declares that the award really ought to have gone to Beyonce. But the best reason to look forward to Kanye West is simple and it’s this: he’s not Donald Trump. And, as a gesture that would completely unify the nation if not the entire planet, Taylor Swift for VP. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pines give Seaford a thrashing PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES made a big statement on Easter Saturday that it is ready to take another step in Peninsula Division after dishing out an old fashioned hiding to old foe Seaford.

The Pines bookends were extremely impressive, booting six goals to one in the opening quarter and six goals to two in the last to run out 69 point winners, 18.15 (123) to 7.12 (54).

Aaron Edwards was the star of the competition last season and he started 2016 in even better fashion than where he left off.

Edwards booted five goals in a blistering opening term before finishing with seven for the match. He played as much through the middle as he did in attack.

Tim Bongetti booted six goals in the second half while Paul Scanlon was a bull through the middle.

Together with Luke Potts, Scanlon was on ball for the entire second half due to a lack of rotations through injury.

We were all told to hold onto our hats with Paul Scanlon and Tim Bongetti and they didn’t disappoint.

Guy Hendry booted three goals also for Pines, highlighting the overall potency of the Pythons up front.

Defensively, Pines stood up again. The back six average no more than 15 games between them but due to the improvement, along with the willingness of the mids and forwards to work back to support, the Pythons are yet to

Picture: Andrew Hurst

concede more than 56 points in four matches (including practice matches). They lost Joel Bruhn with concussion.

The Tigers are starting from a long way back this season with a new coach will only improve.

The list is almost brand new and it’s going to take time. There were a lot of new faces in the yellow and black on Saturday.

On Good Friday, Edithvale-Aspendale started its season in wonderful fashion against Bonbeach.

The talk around the Eagles has been doom and gloom in the off season with the likes of Brett O’Hanlon, Brad Tagg, Tim Mavris, Jordy Derbyshire and Jarrod Garth all leaving the club.

However, they still have the likes of Tim and Steve Mannix, Mark Mullins, Mick Meehan, Tommy Turner, Jeremy Heys, Zac Muschialli, Todd Woodbridge and Matt Kremmer running around, with a sprinkling of new talent.

It was enough to knock the Sharks over in their first match of the season, 10.11 (71) to 9.8 (62).

Bonbeach led at half time by nine points before the Eagles booted five goals to one in the third to set up the win.

Elliott Macquire from Old Mentonians had an immediate impact on Peninsula Division with a best on ground display while Wonthaggi recruit Chris Wylie booted two goals and was a big unit in attack.

Shane McDonald booted a couple in his return game for the Sharks while Jack Williams and James Murnane were standouts.

Easter football a big winner disappointment between the Frankston Bombers and Pearcedale, the ‘event’ was one to remember.

Fevola, carrying a leg injury, booted six goals playing at full forward for the Bombers in a match that attracted a crowd arguably bigger than the 2015 Peninsula Grand Final between Frankston YCW and Mornington.

The match was a testament to the local football community working together. In this instance, only Frankston Bombers and Pearcedale Football Clubs working together could pull off such an event – they did so with the support of Frankston Dolphins.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

The Bombers heavily catered for the game and prepared brilliantly, however, even they ran out of mainstream beverages before three quarter time.

The Bombers bank-rolled their season on the back of this match and I suspect they came out of it much better than predicted.

Down on the southern peninsula, Rosebud was playing host to Rye. Now, Olympic Park hosts finals matches and has ample parking. However, on Friday, they were parked out in the side streets such was the enormous crowd.

Again, the game was a disappoint-

ment, however, it truly was a celebration of local football.

Thankfully, for the footy purists, the game between Dromana and Sorrento on Easter Saturday was superb. Again, a monster crowd where all food was sold out before half time of the senior match.

Somerville and Tyabb also attracted a bumper crowd given the expectations on the Eagles and the much improved Yabbies.

Peninsula League also got on the Easter gravy train with local derbies between Edithvale and Bonbeach (Good Friday) and Seaford v Pines (Easter Saturday).

The games didn’t attract the same huge crowds as those in Nepean Division but they were big enough to encourage a continuation of the Easter showdowns.

While I’m probably safe in saying that I believe most footy fans would support AFL football on Good Friday, I say we stick together as a footy community and discourage it.

Local footy is the real winner and that’s what we should be supporting.

Well done to all clubs for their forethought and hard work during a holiday period and celebrating local football together.

Tigers stamp their mark on Nepean NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THERE was an emergence of another major player in the MPNFL 2016 Nepean Division on Easter Saturday.

Dromana may have gone through a lean period in the past couple of seasons following their premiership success, however, they announced their return on Saturday against Sorrento at Pier St Oval.

The Tigers’ announcement was more than the 16.6 (102) to 11.11 (77) win – it was the way they went about winning.

You hear coaches say all the time now that it’s “all about systems and processes” and the “results will take care of themselves”.

While some of the Tigers’ systems and processes may have broken down at times on Saturday, generally speaking, new coach Rikki Johnston and his brains trust got it right.

Teams playing on the Friday were excused for being ‘a bit rusty’, given their average showings, however, same couldn’t be said for Dromana and Sorrento.

Sure, neither side was playing at 100%, however, the intensity they came out with at the first bounce was the same intensity they were playing with at the final siren.

Dromana is an excitement machine.

The Tigers’ Under 18’s won the flag last season and they have found some real future stars in Reece Wilde, Dean Waugh and Ethan Johnstone.

Wilde booted four goals for the match, all of them coming in the last quarter.

Beau Cosson is an excitement machine – he has an enormous tank, plenty of spunk and excitement, can take a grab and loves a goal. He’s going to be a very tough match up for any team.

Michael Gillis and Jay Hutchison are in the best condition they have been in for years and their footy matched their commitment.

Rikki J may have been in a different jumper number but that didn’t concern the Dromana faithful – his surety out of defence and cool head

Picture: Andrew Hurst under pressure was a feature. He also spoke extremely well for a new coach, which, to be frank, wasn’t surprising.

The core group in Shaun Clark, Terry Wheeler, Dan Guerts, Beau McMurray and Christian Ongarello were rock solid and new faces in Mitch Gill-Furness and Rory Gregg showed enough to get the natives excited.

Cade Williams was just what they needed through the middle of the ground and Adam Hunter looked comfortable in his first game back

for a while – his goal to seal the match brought the house down.

Sorrento went into lock down after the final siren. There’s a bit of work to do for new coach Nick Jewell.

Instilling discipline was always going to be a challenge for Jewell, given the team had pretty much run its own show under Troy Schwarze.

Some arguing between players and the coaches box wasn’t a good look when the whips were cracking in the last quarter.

Jewell played some players away from their normal positions. Some embraced it and others found it tough.

There were some big holes created with some of the Sorrento losses – Daniel Grant and Schwarze coming off the half backline and ruckman/key defender Jon Croad taking intercept marks were the most noticeable, while Leigh Poholke is a monstrous loss in attack.

The Sharks have found a real player in Nick Corp, who clunked everything that came his way.

The spot for him is further up the ground, working defenders over and dishing off to runners to kick goals.

Scott Lockwood showed a bit but needs to stay at home one on one and kick goals.

At the 20 minute mark of the last quarter, Sorrento had got within a kick of the Tigers. There’s still plenty to like about this footy team, which has a lot of new faces and will only get better.

Frankston Bombers have recruited extremely well in the off season and it showed on Good Friday with a convincing 16.13 (109) to 5.13 (43) victory over Pearcedale.

With Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton doing the running and former Carlton superstar Brendan Fevola (six goals) standing at full forward, it was always going to be a tough ask for the Panthers.

At half time with both sides kicking with the breeze, the Bombers led by 31 points. That blew out to 50 points by three quarter time.

Cramping was the biggest issue for both sides, who both looked under cooked.

Dale Sutton starred for the Bombers while Jarryd Amalfi provided plenty of run and drive from half back.

Joel White was good for the Panthers across half back and Alex Harnett played with grunt through the middle of the ground.

The takeaway from the match was that Pearcedale are going to struggle again in 2016 while Frankston Bombers will improve and challenge for the top five.

Somerville is the benchmark in 2016.

They were the grand finalists of 2015 and have only improved their list.

On Saturday they beat Tyabb by more than 100 points, 28.16 (184) to 11.6 (72).

Rosebud unfurled its 2015 premiership flag on Friday before the first bounce against Rye – it was the most excitement for the day.

Thankfully both teams finished on 48 points.

The draw and the final minutes also brought some excitement.

If the match was an advertisement for local footy (outside of the atmosphere and crowd), you’d be lucky to go to another game again.

The wind played a role in the poor spectacle, however, it was more the extremely poor skill execution that took a stranglehold on the game.

Rye kicked four goals in the first quarter and only three more for the match. Rosebud had 23 scoring shots and 10 more than Rye but booted just five goals. The Buds kicked 1.7 to 1.0 in the final term.

There were a couple of highlights. Jackson McRae’s game across half back shows he will take the next step this season for the Buds. Nick Boswell is in terrific shape and he made things look easy from half back also with his run and carry.

Rye would have lost had it not been for Adam Kirkwood – he was superb.

Ryan Mullett too is one of the hardest workers in the game. If Rye doesn’t find someone to protect him, he’s not going to see out the season.

Suffice to say there is enormous work to be done for both clubs.
