Eden writ hits Spring St Picture: Gary Sissons

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LABOR opposition leader Daniel Andrews has become embroiled in a legal stoush between Kingston councillor David Eden and Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford.

A staffer now employed in Mr Andrews’ office, Christopher Ransom, was the secretary of the Kingston Residents

Association when Cr Eden supplied ratepayers’ funds to the group.

Ms Wreford is being sued for defamation by the first-term councillor over allegations Cr Eden failed to declare a conflict of interest when handing over $1500 worth of ward fund grants to the association.

Ms Wreford called the KRA “a closed shopfront for local Labor campaign activities fuelled by Kingston ratepayers’

The KRA was founded by Cr Eden’s father, Nick Eden, in June 2012.

Business records reveal the association’s registered address when it was founded – 1 Berwen Lane, Chelsea – is the contact address Cr Eden lists on his own councillor website.

Nick Eden transferred the association to KRA president Maureen Lim’s stew-

Funding cuts end help for mentally ill children Steve Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FUNDING cuts to Family Life’s SHINE program will end assistance it gives to children suffering mental health disorders.

The program is a victim of new funding criteria which sees “well off” areas such as Bayside, Kingston and Glen Eira judged as not needing funding as much as “less fortunate” areas.

That means the $450,000 needed to provide services for children with early signs of mental illness, or those emotionally affected by parents suffering alcohol or substance abuse, will not be forthcoming after December.

Family Life chief executive Jo Cavanagh said she was concerned that “in the current funding environment the size of the social services ‘pie’ is not growing”.

It grates with her that children in perceived high-income areas will miss out as not being from high-needs areas. “This is understandable in economic terms but mental health is not based on economics,” she said.

“We help children on a daily basis who are suffering because their parents are under pressure from financial problems, mental illnesses, physical and emotional abuse, drug and alcohol problems and parental separation.”

Ms Cavanagh said she was searching for a community minded business or industry that may be able to step in to fill the breach.

Family Life CEO Jo Cavanagh.

SHINE is based on a program which uses strategies to calm the mind and help manage anxiety. She said it was especially useful in treating children affected by family violence who were much more likely to have mental health programs.

“We see 250 children and families with our intensive care services and thousands of children through school programs.”

She said the ‘unique’ program was developed by Family Life in 2007 after calls for an innovative approach to addressing mental health concerns. It was deemed so successful in cases of high needs that it is being used around the country.

She said the money paid for specialist counselling services and that it would be “tragic” to lose it.

Goldstein MP Andrew Robb –

whose electorate covers Kingston and who has admitted to having his own depressive disorder issues in the past - said a final decision from the Department of Social Services had not yet been made.

He said the department had overhauled the funding formulae for civil society organisation grants, meaning grants up for renewal must meet new criteria.

Civil society organisations are those - like Family Life - that provide social services.

“Many organisations have applied for funding under the new system, and it is important we do not jeopardise their chances,” Mr Robb said.

He said he was committed to working with Family Life to ensure a grant can be delivered under the new system. “It is important that we work together to ensure a positive outcome can be achieved.”

Mr Robb reportedly received feedback from other community groups that the new DSS scheme is “clearer; the forms are a vast improvement as they cut onerous paperwork, and the DSS offers great helpdesk support compared with the old regime”.

“Family Life has had a hugely positive impact in my electorate, and well beyond,” Mr Robb said. “I am committed to ensuring that [it] can continue to provide quality services in Goldstein.”

Funding applications close on 23 July.

Wig-wearing thief shatters holiday dream Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au THE retirement holiday dreams of an elderly Patterson Lakes couple have been shattered by a “wannabe rastafarian” thief who stole their $70,000 caravan from the driveway of their home in broad daylight.

Ron and Leonie Higman were just days from setting off on a three-month outback holiday adventure to Darwin when their fully loaded Jayco Sterling caravan was stolen on Thursday 10 July.

Not only was the caravan locked and secured at the top of their driveway by a wheel clamp, tow-bar lock and wheel chocks, the couple was also at home just metre away in their back garden when the brazen thief struck around midday.

Neighbours even saw the wig-wearing dreadlocked thief in action atop the caravan earlier in the morning but assumed he must be a workman carrying out repairs for the couple.

Mr Bagman, 72, said that while the caravan, which they had bought in January, was insured, “our peace of mind, our time, six months of planning, are not”.

“This has knocked the wind out of our sails; we’re devastated,” he said.

“He’s stolen more than just our caravan, he’s stolen our holiday and our sense of security.

“The caravan was fully loaded and ready to go with all our food, clothes, books, cameras – everything we needed for the next couple of months.

“But that’s all gone now. That’s it as far as our holiday goes. We’ll have to start again from scratch.”

Kingston police believe the robbery

was the work of a “serial caravan thief” who has been active in Melbourne’s outer suburbs and have urged caravan owners to be vigilant.

However, detectives are optimistic the man will soon be apprehended after obtaining clear descriptions of his “unusual” appearance and CCTV footage of the “distinctive” four-wheel drive utility he has been driving.

Footage of the thief driving off with the Bagman’s caravan was captured by a neighbour’s security camera, while further footage was obtained following two unsuccessful robbery attempts in Monbulk two weeks earlier.

Police said the man stole number plates from a vehicle at a Rowville golf course to use to disguise his getaway vehicle on 30 June.

He then drove to a house on Old Emerald Rd in Monbulk where he hitched a $50,000 caravan to his ute about 3.50pm.

However, the female owner arrived home just in time, catching the wouldbe thief as he was about to drive off.

After being confronted by the owner, the man quickly unhitched the caravan and took off.

It’s believed the same man targeted a caravan advertised for sale in Fairydale Rd about five hours later.

The man made arrangements to see the caravan about 6pm but failed to turn up. The owner later noticed a car pull into his driveway about 9pm.

After being asked what he was doing, the man said he wanted to test whether he could hook the caravan up to his car.

The owner told the man to leave, which he did.

Detective Sergeant Mick Coughlan of Kingston crime investigation unit said

CCTV footage of a distinctive dual-cabin 4x4 utility vehicle driving off with the caravan, above, was captured by a neighbour’s security camera. Main picture: Gary Sissons

police were hopeful members of the public would be able to help identify the thief.

“He’s been seen by a few people now so we’ve been able to obtain a pretty good description of his appearance, as well as footage of the vehicle he’s been driving,” Sergeant Couglan said.

“He’s a short, slim Caucasian male aged 30-40, about 160 centimetres tall,

clean shaven and with a bald, or shaven head. He seems to have a thing for wigs.

He’s been seen wearing a brown wig and then later a dark dreadlock wig.

“But it’s the vehicle which is our clearest lead. It’s very distinctive, a white dual-cab 4x4 utility with a silver tray and spare wheel and jerry can behind the cabin, and a roof rack on top.

“So we’d ask anyone who’s seen a

vehicle fitting this description or whose seen any suspicious activities in either area around the time of the incidents to contact police as quickly as possible.”

Consultation plan ‘no con job’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Seeking feedback: Kingston mayor Paul Peulich. Picture: Gary Sissons

KINGSTON Council is pushing ahead with its plan to restructure its community consultation process to replace the existing village committee forums.

Feedback is being sought on a ‘revised community consultation structure’ which would see village committees replaced by “project and theme based” committees.

The new groups would look at specific community concerns and report to council.

However, critics of the new consultation system believe this would ensure council could decide which problems are publicly aired.

Village committee representatives

were able to bring problems to councillors’ attention at monthly council meetings open to the public.

Kingston Mayor, Cr Paul Peulich, admitted council would have “more control” over the consultation process when questioned by The News but said this was necessary to “stop the politicisation and hijacking of certain committees by special interest groups.”

Cr Peulich said village committee members were welcome to participate in a focus group looking at how the new community consultation process would work in practice.

“We recognise local knowledge and is important and project based committees would enable Kingston residents to engage their expertise in a particular subject,” he said.

The village committees system of consultation - placed on hold last month until council decides how to structure the revised consultation process - had led to lengthy feedback sessions at monthly council meetings due to the sheer number of subjects raised en masse, according to Cr Peulich.

“Other people and groups attend council meetings and it was unfair to them to have to wait hours to hear about other issues,” he said.

Appointed residents of nine Kingston village committees have provided feedback to council on issues affecting since their establishment in 1997.

A review of the villages committees was begun by council in July last year.

Several village committee members are unhappy that they were not consult-

DIAMOND CONCEPTS FOR AN APPOINTMENT CALL

ed on the suspension of the committees and regard the outcome of council’s review as being predetermined.

Cr Peulich said Kingston was the only council in Victoria which operated a village committees system, as far as he was aware.

Implementing a community consultation process would bring Kingston Council into line with neighbouring municipalities, according to the mayor.

He said ratepayers could still ask councillors about community concerns at ward meetings.

Council has used project based committees for feedback on projects such as the revamp of the Moorabbin Junction. See www.kingston.vic.gov.au or call council on 9581 4904 to get involved.

Canine heroics a happy feat for penguin colony Steve Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au MOVIES starring lovable animals - such as Red Dog or Lassie – are always family favourites.

We grieve at their misfortunes and thrill to their courage and stoicism.

Oh how we yearn for a happy ending. And, then, when the lights come on, there isn’t a dry eye in the house…

Harnessing this theme is an upcoming movie

by Mordialloc dance school proprietor and filmmaker Steve Kearney, which he describes as being in the same vein as The Castle and Crocodile Dundee.

Oddball – starring established local star Shane Jacobson and his ‘daughter’, nine-year-old Coco Gillies – is about (you guessed it) a dog – but one that has made a world of difference to a colony of penguins down Warrnambool way...

It’s a feel-good movie – based on a true story – about how maremma guard dogs ‘saved’ the colony on Middle Island, off the coast at Warrnambool in western Victoria, from foxes.

The wily predators had reduced numbers on the island – which is accessible at low tide - from the usual hundreds down to under 10 penguins in 2005. Thanks to the dogs there are around 200 now.

Maremmas are fiercely protective of their charges – usually sheep in Europe - but which can be any defenceless herd-type animal. Woe betide any fox or feral cat that tries to make a meal of them.

Once the dogs’ scent is prevalent, the sneeky predators know to keep away. And the maremmas are dedicated to their work – it’s all they

know - having been bred for guarding duties over centuries. They are never ‘off duty’ preferring to sleep in the open with their charges.

Kearney’s creative juices started flowing when he and his family visited Warrnambool in 2007 to enjoy a Fun for Children festival and to visit his mother.

He and wife Lou heard about the maremma project of the year before in which a local farmer, Allan ‘Swampy’ Marsh, had realised the potential for saving the dwindling colony using his two maremmas.

After badgering the council for years for permission, the dogs were trialled by his two daughters and had great success.

They stay on the island during the penguin breeding season from September to March and then return home when the penguins head out to sea to fish.

The project won the 2010 Australian Government Coastcare Award.

On hearing about it I said, “Now there’s a great movie idea,” Kearney recalled last week.

Making people laugh is in his blood: as a member of the stand-up comedy team Los Trios Ringbarkus in the 80s and early 90s he toured the world entertaining on stage, appearing on TV shows (including Friends and JAG) and filmmaking, spending 13 years in the US. One potential hit was Garbo, a comedy about garbage collectors in the early 80s: “We were ahead of our time,” he quipped, referring to the success of Kenny (coincidentally also starring Jacobson).

He worked at all the major studios searching for the next big funny movie: it always eluded him.

Hopefully, not this time. With the ‘ball’ rolling, he visited Warrnambool regularly over the

Behind the scenes: Steve Kearney and wife Lou face dog days together on film sets. Picture: Gary Sissons

next four years searching for writers and film staff, arranging production and filming deals and ironing out all sorts of issues “until everyone got sick of me”.

His efforts have been worth it. Kearney received backing from Film Victoria and an advance from distributor Village Roadshow who “loved it”. Their support put a financial ‘floor’ under the movie and allowed him to secure Jacobson who he says fitted the part perfectly.

He grew a bushy beard and “became the same shape as Swampy” by adding to his already well-rounded frame.

During the two-week filming in May the weather was on their side - it rained just once.

Only one dog was used in the movie which is expected to be on the big screen by school holiday time next year.

If it has only a fraction of the success of the two movies he likens it to, Kearney, who lives

in Aspendale, will retire a wealthy man. Stay tuned.

Middle Island has been closed to the public – except for organised tours - since 2006 to protect penguin burrows from human trampling which can harm penguins, chicks and eggs. Closing the Island has also contributed to a huge increase in the colony’s size. Over summer, those wanting to visit can do a Meet the Maremma tour and experience the project firsthand.

The two original maremmas, sisters Eudy and Tula, spend five days per week on the island during the breeding season and on their days off live at Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village, meeting visitors and helping promote environmental conservation.

As well as Oddball, the project was the subject of a documentary by Erebus Productions viewed by 1.5 million in Italy and it featured on the ABC’s Catalyst program.

Kingston Council advocates for the community The City of Kingston has prioritised several issues which will require the assistance of other tiers of government to realise.

As Council is the level of Government closest to the community, we recognise our role to represent residents on community issues even when they are outside Council’s direct control.

Urban Renewal of Moorabbin Junction Council is working to transform Moorabbin Junction with new developments, upgraded public transport facilities and a recently approved 150-bed hospital. Council welcomes State Government’s $8 million commitment to revitalise Moorabbin Reserve and will also contribute $1.5 million. Council is working with stakeholders to address traffic congestion and support the revitalisation of the area.

Mentone Activity Centre

In 2012 our major consultative process, LivingKingston 2035, garnered more than 13,000 ideas from over 5,800 residents.

The City of Kingston is currently considering a revised community consultation structure that aims to meet the changing and diverse needs of the community.

Council is aware that changes to the automotive manufacturing sector will have a significant impact on Kingston businesses and residents.

Council welcomes State Government’s recently announced $30 million assistance package to the automotive and supply chain sector and will continue to work to support affected businesses.

Realisation of the Chain of Parks Council is working collaboratively with State Government to realise a vision for Mentone as a modern day village identified for its unique heritage and café and retail culture. Council aims to enhance the beauty of the area by celebrating its past and acknowledging the role it now plays as a significant centre of activity.

From listening to the community, Council has identified six issues of strategic, longterm importance for Kingston residents.

Manufacturing transition support

Council continues to support the Chain of Parks project to, in time, turn historic landfill areas from Kingston’s Green Wedge into a series of connected parks that will provide open space and a wide range of passive and active recreational facilities. Kingston has established a Green Wedge Reserve Fund so we can act to facilitate opportunities to improve the Green Wedge.

Transition from waste and resource recovery Council is aware of the importance of fast broadband for Kingston businesses and residents. Many Kingston businesses require large and instantaneous data transfers using fast broadband connections. Council welcomes Telstra’s recent announcement of upgraded ADSL networks in Aspendale Gardens which will deliver additional ports for the community.

Council’s Green Wedge Plan details Council’s vision to discourage and transition away from landfill in the Green Wedge.

Local best when it comes to tucker WREFORD Report

WHEN you tuck into dinner tonight think about where those tasty vegetables came from. No, not the fruit shop, but rather where they were actually grown.

For Kingston residents, this is often nearby as parts of the city are among the last remaining original market gardens in Melbourne, especially for Asian vegetables, herbs and leafy greens – and all are highly perishable.

The market gardens are also among the closest to the CBD and are well placed to receive cheap water from the Carrum Downs sewerage treatment plant. This makes them worthy of protection at a time when pressure on ‘freeing up’ acreage for new housing is strong.

Dr Rachel Carey, lead researcher of the Food Alliance, a Deakin University program funded by VicHealth, said it was most important to keep Melbourne’s food production areas close by, rather than forcing it into remote areas and more vulnerable to rising fuel costs and higher water bills.

These would all have deleterious effects on food prices – especially during times of drought brought on by climate change.

Food Alliance research has found that 40-50 per cent of Melbourne’s vegetables are grown on the city’s doorstep

- with a massive 10 per cent grown in Werribee South.

Dr Carey said food production areas close to the city must be protected by fixing urban growth boundaries permanently and ensuring remaining market growing areas are protected for future generations.

“Our research is a wakeup call as to where our food comes from,” she said. “As Melbourne expands, housing is gobbling up our best farmland, but the city’s population still needs to be fed.

“Plan Melbourne recognises this problem, but doesn’t go far enough in delivering effective solutions to creating a permanent city boundary to protect Melbourne’s foodbowl.”

She said farms on the urban fringe created 6000 jobs and contributed $1.3-$1.6 billion to Victoria’s economy. “Easy access to shoppers, transport, wholesale markets, water and labour are what makes these areas viable for growing food for the future as our population increases.”

Dr Carey will speak at Mordialloc Neighbourhood House, 457 Main St at 7pm on Wednesday 16 July.

She is a guest of the Kingston Conservation and Environment Coalition. All welcome. Entry is free.

Did the system fail Luke and Rosie?

Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au Stuck in the middle: The office of Labor opposition leader Daniel Andrews (centre) is linked to a legal stoush between Cr David Eden (left) and Mordialloc Liberal MP Lorraine Wreford (right).

Eden writ embroils Spring St Continued from page 1 The state government has now abolished Victorian councils’ discretionary ward funding “to protect the reputation of the overwhelming number of councillors who are honourable hardworking people doing their utmost for their communities”, according to local government minister Tim Bull.

In April, Ms Wreford issued a media statement welcoming the state government’s move.

“Most Victorian councillors are decent people, but they are let down by the small few,” she said.

“A classic example is councillor discretionary ward funds. They are often seen as a ‘slush fund’ and are open to abuse such as propping up political front groups.

“For instance, the Kingston Residents Association is dominated by Labor Party members and is handed large amounts of ratepayer money by Labor aligned councillors,” Ms Wreford said.

Labor opposition spokesman Chris Reilly confirmed Mr Ransom works as an adviser in Mr Andrews’ Melbourne

office at Parliament House. The News understands he began employment there in September 2013.

Mr Reilly said: “As there are legal proceedings underway it would not be appropriate to comment on the action taken against Ms Wreford by Cr Eden.”

Mr Ransom was secretary of the KRA from October 2012 until February 2014.

Cr David Eden allocated ward funds to the KRA in April and September last year.

He has denied any wrongdoing.

Funding to the KRA for “community advocacy” has also been distributed from ward funds by councillors Tamara Barth, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West.

Cr Eden was elected to Kingston Council in November 2012 at the age of 18.

Ms Wreford said Cr Eden’s legal action “is part of a campaign orchestrated by members of the Labor Party.”

Mr Ransom did not return calls from The News before publication.

ROSIE Batty may have acted differently on the day her son Luke was killed by his father had she been made aware her estranged partner had made disturbing death threats towards a housemate just weeks earlier, the ABC’s Four Corners program revealed on Monday.

Greg Anderson, who murdered Luke by bashing him with a cricket bat and stabbing him with a knife following a mid-week cricket practice session at Tyabb on 12 February, threatened to cut his housemate’s head off during an argument at the Chelsea Heights home they shared.

Police failed to mention the incident to Ms Batty despite contacting her just a week before Luke’s death in their efforts to track Anderson down over the grisly death threat.

Ms Batty said that had she been told of the death threat and multiple warrants out for Anderson’s arrest, she may have been more aware of the danger she and her son were in.

“A lot of us are very careless saying ‘I could kill you, you know, you’re driving me mad’ ... but to actually say … to decapitate someone. They’re not light comments,” she told Four Corners.

The incidents leading up to Luke’s murder and Ms Batty’s subsequent crusade to both shed light on the fragmented response to family violence and improve protection for victims, were

Crusade: Rosie Batty is working to overhaul the way police respond to family violence. Pic: Gary Sissons

the focus of the latest Four Corners investigation.

Ms Batty has refused to blame police or government agencies for failing to prevent her son’s death, instead choosing to use the tragedy to try to highlight systemic deficiencies and improve the response to domestic violence.

However, she warns there will be more tragedies unless something is done. “Things happen in such a fragmented fashion … each statement you make to the police is a separate statement, each policeman you meet is a different policeman, each organisation is doing their own job with their own focus,” she said.

“No-one’s taking an overarching look at everything that's going on together. No-one’s looking at the complete picture.”

While there is no definitive answer to the question of whether Luke’s brutal death could have been prevented, the program makes clear more could and should have been done to protect him and his mother.

For years, Ms Batty struggled to manage the increasingly violent behaviour of Luke’s father of her son. “She called for help – loud and clear. She involved the police, the courts, child protection and social workers to keep her son and herself safe. But this didn’t happen,” says reporter Geoff Thompson.

Ms Batty said that while Anderson’s behaviour was never going to “put him away”, some degree of intervention may have been “just enough for him to rethink, or maybe enough of a red flag for me to understand what acute danger Luke and I were in”.

Victoria Police Commissioner Ken Lay, who has worked closely with Ms Batty since Luke’s murder in order to address shortcomings in the way family violence is addressed, agrees the system needs to be overhauled.

“When you need to look someone in the eye like Rosie and hear how the system dealt with her and understand how the system may have let some of those people down, it’s very, very confronting,” Mr Lay said.

A coronial inquest into the events leading to Luke’s murder and subsequent fatal shooting of Greg Anderson by police will be held in October.

MENSWEAR LIQUIDATES Cash splash helps creek bounce back A COMBINED community effort involving Melbourne Water, Kingston Council, students and green groups to return a once overgrown, weedriddled stretch of Mordialloc Creek to pristine condition received a welcome boost last week thanks to a $20,000 state government grant.

Water Minister Peter Walsh last week toured a 1.3 kilometre section of the creek in Aspendale along with Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford to inspect the progress of revegetation and weed control works following announcement of the grant, which will fund additional native plantings.

They were joined by council officials and representatives from Melbourne Water, which has provided funding for revegetation works along the popular waterway over the past four years.

“Mordialloc Creek is a really important place for local residents and a key outcome of the Coalition government’s Melbourne’s Water Future is the protection of the health of Melbourne’s waterways such as this one,” Mr Walsh said.

Ms Wreford said the Coalition Government’s

$7 million dredging project had made Mordialloc Creek a valued centrepiece of the community once again.

“As well as the Coalition’s investment in Mordialloc Creek, Melbourne Water funded revegetation works carried out by the City of Kingston over the last four years under the Corridors of Green program,” she said.

“Mordialloc Creek’s healthy transformation will continue with a further $20,000 in funding confirmed for 2014-15, and the planting of an extra 350 plants to boost existing remnant and revegetation areas.

Kingston Mayor, Cr Paul Peulich, said the project had included activities such as tree plantings with local groups Mordialloc College, Yarrabah special development school and Friends of Mordialloc Catchment, as well as Clean up Australia Day and National Tree Day events.

“The additional funding will allow further vegetation management and community engagement long the Mordialloc Creek,” Cr Peulich said.

Life saving gift for clubs Steve Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au HEAVEN forbid they will ever be needed, but the purchase of two defibrillators by local community groups – in a ‘partnership’ with Bendigo Bank – is comforting to members.

They could become lifesavers in the event of emergency, and the more club members who know how to use them the better.

The machines assist in reviving those affected by cardio arrest. Famously, Kerry Packer had one installed in NSW ambulances after collapsing at a polo match in 1990 and being clinically dead for six minutes.

He was saved by the timely arrival of an ambulance with a defibrillator.

The useful machines were nicknamed ‘Packer whackers’ from then on.

Aspendale Senior Citizens Club, in Station St, and Chelsea Sportswomen’s Centre, in Sturdee St each went halves with Bendigo Bank’s Aspendale Gardens-Edithvale branch in buying the two $2300 ‘defibs’. They come with free training and information sessions.

Sheila Mulder, treasurer of Aspendale Seniors, said the aptly-named ‘happy club’ was thrilled with the partnership. “The bank agreed to pay half the cost on condition we change our everyday banking over to them and add their advertising onto our flyers, which we were happy to do.

“The defibrillators are excellent news for our 360 members – many of whom are elderly.”

Interest in the equipment is high,

Booze impact investigated KINGSTON Council wants to know your views on the impact of packaged liquor outlets and alcohol-related harm.

The South East Melbourne Councils Alliance, a group made up of the Cities of Kingston, Frankston Casey, Greater Dandenong and the shires of Bass Coast, Cardinia and Mornington Peninsula, is researching the impacts of packaged liquor outlets and alcohol-related harm in their communities.

The project is being supported by a number of key agencies including Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria and Turning Point Alcohol and Drug

Research Centre.

The SEM has created a survey on packaged liquor purchases and drinking patterns to gather valuable information that will help Frankston Council better plan for the number and types of alcohol outlets in the community.

Complete the ‘Have your say on alcohol outlets’ survey by picking up a copy of the survey from council’s customer service centres or by visiting www.kingston.vic.gov.au/ get-involved/have-your-say/liquorsonsultation online.

The survey must be completed by Friday 8 August.

Winter safety on the water

Heart starters: (from left) Bendigo Bank’s Russell Mactaggart and John Bainbridge with Aspendale Senior Citizens Club member Jim Lancaster are shown how to use a defibrillator by First Aid for Life’s Mick Jackson. Picture: Gary Sissons

with a training course attended by 45 members. The club has notified a nearby kindergarten and doctor’s surgery of the purchase which they see as a community benefit.

Rachel Cox, of the sportswomen’s centre, agreed it “would be scary if we had to use the defib, but it’s comforting to know it’s there”.

She said five major clubs competed

in the centre’s Saturday netball competitions, fielding up to 800 players, and another 35-50 children in the Tuesday night comps, so there’s always action aplenty. Adding in parents and officials, the chances of a medical emergency are not insignificant.

The centre installed the defibrillator this week and will hold training courses.

BOAT owners have been reminded to to maintain their vessels during winter to avoid breakdown on the water.

Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) says official figures show that vessel breakdowns make up the majority of marine incidents.

The latest TSV incident data shows that in 2013-14 there were 1349 reportable maritime incidents across Victoria. The 1064 vessel disablements included in this figure required a response from a rescue organisation.

“Through regular boat maintenance you can have the peace of mind that your vessel is fit for purpose and the likelihood of something going wrong when you venture out is significantly reduced,” TSV’s waterway safety manager Paul Corkill said.

Maintenance checklists should include four key areas; the engine, fuel, batteries and the boat structure.

“Old fuel is a significant cause of

on-water breakdowns so drain last season’s fuel from your boat. Take the opportunity to inspect fuel lines, manual priming bulb and connections for cracks and leaks. If any problems are found, have the parts replaced or repaired by a qualified person.

“Keep your batteries charged over winter by fitting an inexpensive charger to your boat. Test all equipment that uses the battery, such as radios, gauges, power tils and navigation lights.

“Inspect your boat’s hull for corrosion and cracks, ensure all bungs are suitable and in good condition, and that bilges are clean and dry. Test the steering for stiffness and oil cables with the correct lubricant.”

For more information about vessel maintenance, visit www.transportsafety.vic.gov.au

Have Your Say Since 1975 The City of Kingston is currently considering a revised community consultation structure that aims to meet the changing and diverse needs of the community.

We are seeking feedback from residents through a number of meetings and focus groups as well as an online survey.

We are keen to hear about how we can make engaging with Council as convenient, accessible and valuable as possible.

All community members are invited to have their say on our online survey kingston.vic.gov.au/consultation For more information l tom.stevens-downie@kingston.vic.gov.au [ 9581 4904

Reconnecting with their art MUNWARRI Stand Up is part of Baluk Arts on show at the Frankston Arts Centre in Davey St until 16 August.

It showcases paintings, jewellery and craft

by Baluk Aboriginal artists who are celebrating their artistic development and desire to ‘stand up’ and demonstrate their pride in producing interesting new work.

Baluk Arts – a local Boonwurrung word meaning 'many' - is a non-profit Victorian Aboriginal arts organisation based in Mornington and owned by Aboriginal artists from Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula and wider south-east Melbourne.

Baluk artists come from all over Australia and their artworks reflect themes of identity in a

contemporary cultural context.

Through Baluk Arts, family groups and members of the ‘stolen generation’ reconnect with their culture and express their histories through strong artistic practices to support their cultural and creative wellbeing.

Baluk Arts encourages community development, youth leadership, participation and interaction and Indigenous governance through innovative arts practice.

The opening event as part of NAIDOC Week beginning 7 July was a morning tea and flag raising ceremony.

If you would like to attend Munwarri Stand Up call Cube 37 on 9784 1896.

‘Bold’ station sculptures plan starts to takes shape Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AN ambitious plan to install sculptures at the Frankston station precinct will be considered by council but faces a major funding hurdle.

Former mayor Christine Richards and the six members of the Frankston Business Coalition – a group of businesspeople lobbying political parties for a better deal for Frankston ahead of this year’s state election – have urged councillors to “be bold” and back the proposal to erect seven sculptures at the station.

The sculptures would be relocated from the McClelland Gallery in Langwarrin to Frankston’s city centre.

Ms Richards and McClelland Gallery CEO Robert Lindsay presented the plan, first revealed by The News (‘Sculpture move on the right track’, 11/6/14), to Frankston councillors at last week’s council meeting.

Installing three major and four minor sculptures in the Frankston station precinct would cost “a little over $900,000”, according to Ms Richards.

“We need to be bold about our city centre when more than one in eight shops are vacant…the Frankston station is holding us back,” Ms Richards said. “It’s an opportunity for people to come in and see something really dynamic at the station and make people want to stay in that area and have a look around.”

PAGE 10

“That will make people more comfortable to stay around [instead of scurrying away]… and more people will mean more shoppers,” she said.

Ms Richards declared Frankston should aim to become known as “the sculpture city by the bay” by linking up the summer Sand Sculpting Australia by the Sea events and McClelland Gallery’s sculptures park.

“We have struggled with our image for decades now and this idea could rebrand Frankston. Instead of being ‘the end of the line’ it could be the start of something really exciting…by using our existing cultural assets.”

Mr Lindsay said sculptures would give Frankston station “a sense of identity, pride and arrival” and would encourage tourism.

He said many cities overseas, such as Bilbao in Spain and New York, had used art to transform their environments for the better.

The prestigious Guggenheim Museum of modern and contemporary art was opened in Bilbao in 1997.

“Bilbao was a backwater and now it’s an international focus of tourism with an international airport,” Mr Lindsay said.

He said Soho had lifted New York City’s economy.

“The artists moved into Soho and now it’s so expensive they’ve had to move out. Artists bring some interesting people in and a creative sense to the environment.”

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 16 July 2014

Councillors supported the sculptures plan for Frankston but were wary of the project’s $900,000-plus price tag.

Mr Lindsay said council would own the sculptures and the gallery could offer its expertise to install the artworks at the station.

The gallery has faced a $400,000 annual funding shortfall since the passing of patron Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, but Mr Lindsay denied relocating the sculptures was an attempt to make up the shortfall.

He said the gallery would benefit when visitors arriving at Frankston station possibly decided to visit McClelland Gallery’s sculpture park having seen the artworks at the station precinct.

Cr Glenn Aitken supported the move.

“I think if we want to change our image in Frankston, we need to be creative,” he said.

The creation of a sculptures city by the bay “had bucketloads of potential”, according to Cr Brian Cunial.

Cr James Dooley sounded a note of caution, saying funding for the sculptures should not be taken from the $13.8 million pledged by the state government as part of the Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan released in April as suggested by the Frankston Business Coalition.

“I think it stands on its own merits... and we should approach the state gov-

ernment to find out what arts grants are out there.”

The mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, said council should stay focused on lobbying the state and federal governments to improve Frankston station by building a bus terminal in Young St and working to reduce the number of pharmacies dispensing methadone in

the area. He said council’s message to governments “should not be mixed”.

Councillors agreed that council officers should prepare a formal report to be presented at August’s council meeting.

Officers will look for other sources of funding available to pay for the sculptures relocation.

Performance BAZ Luhrmann’s much-loved hit show Strictly Ballroom The Musical will open in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre in January 2015, with tickets going on sale on Monday 21 July from www.ticketek.com.au.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical had its global premiere on Saturday 12 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. This new production is staged by the original creative team behind the classic 1992 film, including director and co-writer Baz Luhrmann.

Playing the pivotal roles of Scott Hastings and Fran are Thomas Lacey and Phoebe Panaretos who lead an outstanding Australian cast of 43 including Bob Baines as Les Kendall, Drew Forsythe as Doug Hastings, Natalie Gamsu as Abuela, Robert Grubb as Barry Fife, Fernando Mira as Rico, Heather Mitchell as Shirley Hastings and Mark OwenTaylor as J J Silvers.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting and courageous tale originated as a stage play that Baz Luhrmann devised with a group of students at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) back in 1984.

Strictly Ballroom went on to become one of the most successful Australian films of all time, earning more than $80 million at the box office. Discovered at the Cannes Film Festival, it was winner of the Prix de Jeunnesse and runner up for the Palme D’Or. When released in Australia, Strictly Ballroom swept the field at the 1992 Australian Film Institute (AFI) Awards, gaining 13 nominations and winning eight major categories. It was also a major success at the 1993 BAFTA awards, where it garnered eight nominations and won three awards, including Best Costume Design, Best Original Film Score and Best Production Design.

Other accolades included a 1994 Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture, Newcomer of the Year at the 1993 London Critics Circle Film Awards, the People’s Choice at the 1992 Toronto International Film Festival and Most Popular Film at the Vancouver International Film Festival. With the success of the film, its closing song, a remake of the John Paul Young song Love is in the

Air, re-entered the Australian charts and became a Top 5 hit in October 1992.

Advance tickets are available now until Sunday 20 July 2014 or until presale tickets sell out at www.visaentertainment.com.au www.strictlyballroomthemusical.com *** SACRED Heart Mission has announced a dazzling line-up for its annual fundraiser, The Heart of St Kilda Concert at the Palais in St Kilda, on August 13th.

Now in its seventh year, this highlight of the Melbourne live music and comedy calendar draws Australia’s finest and this year is no exception, with RocKwiz co-presenter, Brian Nankervis as the MC. A big line-up of entertainment including Colleen Hewett, Phil Ceberano, The Basics, Vika & Linda Bull, Tim Rogers, Greg Champion, Julia Morris, Billy Miller and many more. Tickets 136 100. *** IT was announced last week by Aus-

tralian theatre producer John Frost and Opera Australia artistic director Lyndon Terracini that Jason Scott Lee has had to withdraw from their production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic Broadway musical The King and I in Melbourne. Lee has torn a calf muscle which will preclude him from performing for the rest of the season.

Replacing him will be international film and television actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who made his Broadway debut as The King in John Frost’s production in 1996 opposite Donna Murphy.

Phillips played the role for more than 550 performances, won a Theatre World Award and was nominated for both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for his performance.

Phillips has just completed his third season of the hit series Longmire as Henry Standing Bear, and stars in the upcoming film The 33 based on the true story of the Chilean Miners, opposite Antonio Banderas and Juliet Binoche

and produced by Phoenix Pictures. Phillips’ breakthrough came when he starred in the film La Bamba as Ritchie Valens.

He earned a supporting actor Golden Globe Award nomination and Independent Spirit Award for his role in Stand and Deliver. Other notable films in which Phillips has starred include Courage Under Fire, Young Guns, Extreme Justice and Che, and his television performances include Numb3rs, 24, Law and Order SVU, Cougar Town, Miami Vice, Chuck and American Dad. Lou Diamond Phillips will play The King opposite Lisa McCune in the Tony Award-winning production, which has received glowing reviews. Phillips will fly to Melbourne when he finishes filming later this week, and his first performance will be on 10 July.

The King and I plays at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne until 31 August. www.thekingandimusical.com.au *** TAYLOR Swift’s Red tour has become the biggest earner for a country act. The 15-month world tour grossed more than $US150 million ($A162 million) and surpasses Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s Soul2Soul tour in 2006 and 2007. www.taylorswift.com *** AUSTRALIAN rapper Iggy Azalea has broken a US chart record. After six weeks at the top, her hit, Fancy, is Billboard’s longest leading No 1 by a female rapper. She surpassed Lil’ Kim’s record of five weeks for 2001’s Lady Marmalade collaboration. www.iggyazalea.com *** ABC DVD has released a great range of new releases including Stop at Nothing – The Lance Armstrong Story, an intimate but explosive story about the man behind the greatest fraud in sporting history.

Another ABC release is Micro Monsters with David Attenborough which takes us into the hidden world of bugs. Attenborough uses pioneering macroscopic camera techniques to get closer than ever to the fascinating, beautiful, scary and downright alien world of arthropods – spiders, scorpions and insects. Micro Monsters shows the tactics these amazing creatures use to survive and thrive.

friends, I’ll try for a lighter touch. *** SOME things stay forever. The movie scene and the song To Sir With Love beautifully sung by tiny Lulu, equalled by the look on Sydney Poitier’s face, way back mid 60s. Sweet, so sweet. *** CIRCA 1970s recession when the Commonwealth Bank convinced me to transfer my $5000 savings account to a trading account with the assurance it would not affect my housing loan qualification; later having my application refused because the trading bank balance did not apply. A broker and a loan at 11 per cent cost me thousands; no comeback. To the State Savings Bank – until forced to return in the 1990s. This current CBA is to review the later compensation cases, GFC and all that, supposedly ridding themselves of rogue advisers. Almost as if it wasn’t their fault? An independant non-independant review? Tony Abbott says “the public expects appropriate action”. Funny fellow. *** I READ the Herald Sun once weekly to keep in touch with the madding crowd.

Particularly “Your say, 50/50, text talk and letters”, plus Lord Jeffrey on everything and anything. Can someone shout

the man a holiday in Egypt for a year?

I also read Jonathan Cainer on the starsigns. Wonderful insights like “What are you getting caught up in? Isn’t it time to break free? This solstice can change your life. Call me on...” more rubbish at expensive rates. *** REPORTER Peter Greste cops seven years courtesy of the spooky Egyptian regime. Says PM Tony: “My undertanding is the Egypt court system DOES work at arms length from the government.” He has to say that. Based on the reported evidence against Greste, had News Ltd’s Rebekah Brooks (cleared on all charges) been tried in pyramid land, she would have copped life – and everafter. Rebekah is the type of female I’d like to have dinner with. Conviction without evidence is nothing new. Ask ASIO, Scott Morrison, Kevin Andrews or David Hicks. *** SOME things go through to the keeper without a second (or first) thought. Australian of the Year? Four categories; the big one, senior Aussie, young Aussie and local hero. We have Adam Goodes as numero uno, no doubt a nice enough bloke but surely Dane Swan should have bolted in? It’s a joke, thoroughly

controlled by our government (both sides) to ensure all is well in the state of Denmark. Who were the past two winners in all categories without using Google? You don’t know and we don’t care. (Nominations for the next Aussie of the year are open at australianoftheyear.org.au Senior category for Cliffie). *** THE good people of Bendigo don’t want a mosque, planned to be built on undeveloped industrial land. One assumes they have no objection to our government (both sides) spending millions on the chaplains schools program.

The danger of Sharia law against the safety of the Masons, Micks and Prodos. I live next to a public carpark – real noise and danger. Letter to a newspaper: “When peaceful moslems line up for prayers, how do they know if the person next to them is potentially a terrorist or not? We have to put our emotions aside and let common sense prevail.” It can’t prevail if it’s not there buddy. Try standing for the Ode at an RSL, or anywhere in a queue at a Collingwood Essendon game. Ever alert? *** IT’S all orchids for Frankston. Premier Dennis pays a visit and walks the streets.

now on DVD and Blu Ray. www.roadshow.com.au *** SONY Music has announced Family Life, the brand new studio album from Adam Harvey, will be released on Friday 22 August.

With a career spanning almost twenty years, half a million album sales, gold and platinum albums and eight Golden Guitar Awards, Harvey is one of Australia’s most popular and enduring recording artists.

The new album follows on from the outstanding success of The Great Country Songbook, his platinum selling album with Troy Cassar-Daley.

Family Life is a collection of personal stories and observations that will resonate with people of all ages from all walks of life.

Some are heartfelt, some are humorous and they’re all delivered with Harvey’s impeccable vocal phrasing and expression. They tell of Harvey’s experience as a husband, father and son… of a man who is content with his life.

Family Life contains 12 new recordings, including the first single She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful, a simple, infectious song about a man’s appreciation of a modest woman. This highly anticipated new single is already playing on radio with the video due in the coming days.

There’s also a beautiful duet with Harvey’s twelve year old daughter Leylah, a cover of Daddy What If, the classic Shel Silverstein song made famous by Bobby Bare.

“Recording a duet with my baby girl Leylah was not only a highlight of this album, but also of my career,” says Harvey. “I’m so proud of the way she sang in the studio, and I still get teary when I play the track and think about it.”

Harvey will appear at the York on Lilydale in Mt Evelyn October 19th and the Hallam Hotel October 22. www.adamharvey.com.au

A Grain of Salt JULY snuck up on us, greeted by the weather week from hell and more price increases, not forgetting the new amazing “couples counselling” at $200 a throw to prevent divorces. A sense of humour becomes a necessity absolute, as in vodka. Kevin Andrews is losing it, hopefully. It’s one thing to suggest our government is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and Paul may well approve, but the problem is Peter, who doesn’t appear to have a clue, particularly if his opinions are formed by reading a daily newspaper. “Ignorance is the primary enemy of mankind.” [Hemingway]. *** AM I cynical as some suggest? I take these comments “on board” as an exercise in self examination, calling for one of my famous surveys. An extensive search located just two readers. Few of us see our own faults and all of us are of sound reason while there are none. A broken arm or leg no problem; doctor doctor. But a broken mind? Lust, envy, anger, ambition and other faults come to mind, none of which apply to me. Perhaps I’m like the fellow who switched the light off so the mosquito couldn’t find him. As it happens I’m sane; the problem lies with those who disagree with me. Still, in the spirit of my two

How to vitiate your curriculum vitae

By Stuart McCullough MY first instinct was to panic. When news broke that Myers had dismissed a senior executive on his first day for a resume they regarded more a work of fiction than a statement of fact, I feared the worst. For upon being told that somebody’s CV is inaccurate, I am loathe to judge. Some may regard such documents as a sacrosanct regurgitation of times, places and events.

I, on the other hand, consider my curriculum vitae to be something of a creative wonderland; one in which I can let my imagination run wild before sitting down for a short break and running some more. But if the tide has finally turned against unlicensed creative license, then allow me to take the initiative and set the record straight.

Contrary to any impression my resume might create, I did not invent Blu Tack. I have, however, used Blu Tack over a number of years – even in rental properties that had a strict ‘No Blu Tack’ policy – but cannot in good conscience claim credit for its development and subsequent commercial sale. It is true that I developed a technique for removing unwanted Blu Tack from wallpaper which revolved around forming a big blue ball and using it as a sponge. To date, I’ve never seen anyone equal my Blu Tack removal skills. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I reinvented Blu Tack rather than invented it at first instance. When you read my curriculum vitae, I strongly suggest you delete the second line on the first page.

Technically – officially and in every other sense – I was never a touring

Looking for his next challenge: “Stuart McCullough” after his successful summit of Mount Everist.

member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. That said, I have seen Cave and his band on several occasions and own several suits. I also have a t-shirt with “Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds” on it, so when I claim that I’m “in” the band, that’s true about once a fortnight when I work through my t-shirt rotation system. Frankly, near enough ought to be good enough on that one.

But for those killjoys who insist on

interpreting everything literally, perhaps you should skip page two. When you get to the third paragraph on the third page, disregard it completely.

I have never been nominated for an Academy Award. Frankly (and if we’re being honest) you’ve only yourself to blame if you believed that one.

I doubt very much there’s a category for Best On-site Catering In A Short Film – Animated.

I’ve long thought that the less heralded occupations in the film-making industry should get their fair share of the limelight. Indeed, the Oscars would be a whole lot more enjoyable if the guy who’d just taken out Best Gaffer was allowed to make a speech.

I was not a junior tennis champion.

My house is not cluttered with trophies and medallions, the souvenirs of a blossoming career cut cruelly short by a freak second-knuckle injury that forced me to instantly retire. I did have a number of tennis lessons at the Tyabb tennis court beside the V-Line track and remain the record holder for Most Balls Lobbed Over the Fence into the Path of an On-Coming Freight Train. Which, if it doesn’t make me a “champion” per se, at least makes me something of a legend, even if I do say so myself (and I do). I did, however, have the disposition of a junior tennis champion. This involved tipping over chairs and arguing with adults on a regular basis before storming off either to the change room (where one was available) or the chook sheds.

Johnny Young, to the best of my knowledge, has never bestowed the title of Honorary Cast Member on anyone and, if he has, he certainly didn’t throw that accolade in my direction. If only. Surely the ultimate stamp of approval from Johnny would beat an Order of Australia hands down, and even give a knighthood a serious run for its money. I long for a day when I have the initials, “HCM – YTT” after my name instead of an ordinary full stop.

There is no such thing as the Herve

Villachez Award for Short Fiction, although I dearly wish there was. Please delete any reference to it. Ditto the MC Hammer Prize for Poetry. The Little Lebowski Urban Achievers Award is something I saw in a movie once and not a prize I actually received. The keys to the city of Tyabb were never formally bestowed on me, largely owing to the fact that the town has an “open door” policy.

I am not the reason The Beatles split, but I am spending a lot of time trying to encourage One Direction to do the honourable thing and break up so that they can fulfil their ultimate destinies by getting jobs in the fast food restaurant of their choice.

My interests do not include reading, bushwalking or helping animals. I can barely remember the last time I even left the house except to go to work or the shops, much less read anything that wasn’t on the internet. The Hungry Kids of Hungary is not so much a charity I support as it was a band I liked until they stupidly chucked it all in and broke up. In fact, now that I think about, if you could walk to the kitchen and set fire to my CV in the sink, you’d be doing me a HUGE favour.

Better yet, forget I ever sent it to you.

Delete it from your hard-drive and expunge it forever from your memory.

Pretend we never met. Because, after all, who of us can truly say that we know another human being? Particularly after reading their curriculum vitae. So, if after reading this you still want to employ me, feel free to drop me a line. Just don’t tell me anything about yourself. I won’t believe a word. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The Kangas bounce back against Langy PENINSULA LEAGUE

Dimkos and Dylan Luxa each booted three majors. Luxa has been superb this season.

Amalfi was sensational and Nick Tuddenham has been a revelation since coming back from the Dolphins. The Kangas need his quality in the side.

Bonbeach completed the expected and got the job done against Seaford.

The Tigers had a purple patch there for a while but recently things have fallen apart a little.

According to coach Ben Crowe, the season now is about teaching the kids in the club how to play senior footy.

“It’s all pretty new to me, teaching young blokes how to go about being a senior footballer but I’m loving the challenge of it,” Crowe told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning.

“They have a wonderful passion to learn and we have some great, talented kids at the club. The key is to keep them all positive and improving or the rest of the season.

“We can’t make finals but we are keen to help shape the top five and give some sides a headache along the way.”

Unfortunately for the Tigers, they weren’t much of a headache for Bonbeach on Saturday.

The Sharks led by only 24 points at half time and it appeared as though the Tigers were doing the job, however, 11 goals to three in the second half saw the final margin blow out to 73 points, 16.14 (110) to 4.13 (37).

Shane McDonald booted three for the winners while a further ten players contributed on the scoreboard.

Mark Tyrell dominated, Gary Carpenter continued his brilliant run of form and Ricky Ferraro was at his finest.

Nick Boswell and Rory Luxton were the best of the Tigers.

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN played its strongest side in more than a month on Saturday and the result was a 51 point win against Karingal.

The win saw Langwarrin move back inside the top five, replacing Mt Eliza by percentage.

The Kangas got away to a great start to the season, winning five matches on the trot.

However, injuries and matches against the top sides in the competition saw the blue and white lose their next six games, which included clashes against Pines and Mt Eliza.

However, on Saturday, with the likes of Aaron Shaw, Andrew Withers, Jarryd Amalfi, Steve O’Brien and Matt Dimkos back in team, Langwarrin resembled a more formidable side.

In fact, the Kangaroos fielded their strongest side in almost two months.

Regardless of the win however, coach Gavin Artico would not have been happy with his side’s third quarter.

After leading by 49 points at half time and restricting the opposition to one goal in a half of football, the visitors went to sleep in the third term and Karingal responded.

The Bulls kicked 5.7 to 2.8 with the aid of the wind in the third term to reduce the margin to just 25 points at the last change.

Michael Burke was at his best and causing plenty of headaches, while Hadley Tomamichel with three goals and George Angelopoulos with a couple were getting a heap of the footy also.

Langwarrin needed to respond with a big final quarter and it did, kicking five goals to one to win 16.12 (108) to 7.15 (57).

Beau Muston was superb with five majors for the Kangas, while Matt

Dud Buds fail to find a single major NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt ROSEBUD doesn’t deserve to play in the Nepean League finals this season.

A side that cannot kick a single goal in one of its biggest matches of the year against its biggest rival does not deserve to be part of the big boy action at the end of the year.

The Buds booted only 20 behinds on Saturday versus Rye’s 14.8 (92).

The Demons belted Rosebud by a whopping 72 points and in the process, shunted them from the top five.

The Buds percentage took a massive blow also, although it’s still much better than Rye’s.

Frankly, Rosebud has been the most disappointing side in 2014.

One straight kick away from playing in a grand final last season, the Buds have far from hit the heights of last year. In fact, they have spiralled backwards.

Many have gone into protective mode on behalf of Rosebud, yours truly included at the midway mark of the season.

However, those narrow losses at the beginning of the season were nothing more than a smoke screen for the real issue – the Buds aren’t that good.

Crib Point and Red Hill have moved past them, Dromana and Sorrento have steamrolled by.

And now Rye has proven for the second time this season that it also has the Buds covered.

Rye went into the clash without its best player, Rhett Sutton.

Rosebud went in without arguably its best player, Greg Bentley. There weren’t a lot of others missing.

In essence, once again, there couldn’t be a lot of excuses made for the Buds – they were just ordinary.

On the other side of the ledger, Rye got its game going once again.

Talk about the Jeckyl and Hyde of the competition!

Rye’s best is devastating. Its worst is nothing short of pathetic.

It seems fifth spot is the only position on the ladder that is up for grabs. Funny thing is, it appears that Rye, Hastings and Rosebud are having awful trouble claiming it.

The real story will be told this Saturday when Rosebud and Hastings go head to head.

It seems to be a two-horse race now between the Blues and Demons. The Blues have the better draw.

Ryan Semmel (three goals), after a shaky start to the season, dominated the match on Saturday for the Demons.

This was in the wake of the launch

of the reality television show, The Rookie, which aired on Fox Footy on Sunday night.

Ryan seems to have found his groove, which is simply sensational.

He is a class above and after taking a rocket in one of his first games of the year, he’s responded and come out the other side much better.

Aaron Findlay played a different role and was superb, while Jay Bruno played his best game for a few weeks.

Jay’s just got to find that level of consistency.

Luke Semmel (two goals) and Ben Cain were also in charge in the engine room for the Demons.

Rosebud didn’t have any goal kickers to speak of.

Jack Jarman and Tyle Williams worked tirelessly for the Buds and Ryan Spooner and Sam Krumeich always do their best. Their efforts just weren’t good enough to help their side kick a goal!

Twenty minutes down the road at Sorrento, the home side threw a spanner into the works, outclassing reigning premiers Dromana to the tune of 25 points.

The Tigers got away to a flier and opened up a 15-point lead at the first change. It appeared as though the Tigers had the measure of the home side yet again.

At half time, while the margin had been reduced to eight points, Dromana still led the contest with the likes of Christian Ongarello doing the job down back and Anthony Bruhn looking sharp in attack.

However, in the second quarter, you could feel the momentum shift and the Sharks’ seven scoring shots to five didn’t bring the return it should have.

But without star forward Leigh Poholke, who was representing his state in the country football championships, the Sharks looked only a slight chance of being able to get in front.

It didn’t take long into the third quarter before the Sorrento engine really started to crank up.

The Sharks needed to get first hands on the footy and they needed their guns to stand-up in the big moment.

James Hallahan and Leigh Treeby were the two that stepped to the front of the line.

Along with the experienced campaigners in Grant Johnson and Trevor Mattison, Hallahan and Treeby grabbed the match by the scruff and booted five goals between them.

Despite trailing by a little over a goal at the major interval, the Sharks booted six goals to one in the third term to open up a 20 point lead. They increased that by five points at the close of play.

Ryan Jeffrey stepped up to the plate also and booted three goals, while Tyrren Head, who has been in the footy wilderness for a while, played his best game for the season.

Ryan Williams needed to play a big game for the Sharks too and he responded.

It was a superb effort from Sorrento, who has been playing in the shadow of the Tigers for some time now.

Even more impressive is that there a lot of new faces in the Sorrento

team. The likes of Zac Byrns, James Brigden, Luke Soligo, Nat Diconza and James Pitcher. Even the likes of Matt Dobrowski haven’t played a lot of football.

Hastings did what was expected of them and recorded a big victory over Tyabb.

The Blues booted 16 goals in the first half and another 14 in the second hour, finishing with 57 scoring shots to just nine.

The Blues were dominant from the first bounce after a fade-out last week and there was no relenting this time around.

Jason Kestle was back in the senior side after just one game in the reserves and finished with a major.

Dylan Hand was the star of the show.

He was provided plenty of supply at full forward and responded with ten goals.

Colin McVeigh came back to a bit of form after having his colours lowered last week and finished with five majors, while Luke Hewitt and Dan Noble got their hands on the footy enough times to kick four majors each.

Steven Robb and Taylor Tratton have been the Blues’ best players this season (along with McVeigh) and they were at their best again on Saturday.

Steve Charalambous was also good, however, he needs to find his best when the heat is on, not when it’s one way footy.

Jake Anderson worked hard for the Yabbies with a couple of goals while Tyson Sparks and Michael Frost collected the top votes.

Crib Point welcomed yet another tough encounter and once again was able to come away with the four points.

Up against Frankston Bombers, who had won their past two matches, the Pies put them to the sword early and never looked in any danger after that.

Brad Davidson was dominant with four majors while Dean Warry and Jon Flack (three goals) were in total control.

James Degenhardt (three goals) and Jay Reynolds were the best of the Bombers, while Shaun Foster was also very good in attack with three majors.

Devon Meadows turned around a string of seven straight losses to smash Pearcedale in the battle of the Panthers.

Devon was keen to arrest a shocking mid-season slump and they were keen to play attacking footy from the outset.

The visitors have had a lot of injuries this season, however, on Saturday, it was Pearcedale that was undermanned.

The Dales looked like a side of under 18s players, missing the big bodies of Ben Mitchell and Luke Murray, while Dylan Hoare and Andrew Douglas were also missing.

The result was a 70-point smashing.

The Panthers booted 15.9 (99) to 4.5 (29).

Daniel Andrew made it 13 goals from 12 games this season with four majors on Saturday, while Troy Aust and James Bow (37 goals for the season) also finished with four goals.

Michael Hobbs and Heath Black dominated for the duration of the match, while Alex and Chris Doria also played their best games collectively for the season.

Dean Janssen works his butt off each and every match and Saturday was no exception for the Pearcedale defender, while Travis Sauer and Matty Smith continue to fly the flag.

Red Hill was never going to have too much trouble against Somerville.

The Eagles played a number behind the footy from the first bounce and the result was restricting Red Hill to 7.10 (58).

The Eagles themselves had to wait until the 20 minute mark of the last quarter before it kicked a goal.

The Hillmen fielded their weakest side for the season, however, four of those who missed on Saturday are expected to play against Sorrento this week.

Michael Dillon and Paul Wintle starred for the Hillmen yet again, as did Jake Mitchell.

Jedd Sutton and Leigh Stewart were names the best for the Eagles.
