THE phrase ‘I sea, I care’ means a lot to these “marine ambassadors” who helped clean Mordialloc beach last week. They were taking part in a workshop run by the Dolphin Research Institute which encourages people to care for our marine environment.

‘I sea, I care’ aims to convince Kingston residents that “what lives around our coast is too precious to lose”.

Green light for wedge carve up Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A CONTROVERSIAL plan to subdivide a parcel of land in Kingston’s green wedge has been approved by a majority of Kingston councillors against the advice of council officers.

Council gave the go ahead to the subdivision of land at 2 Leslie Rd in

Clarinda into five lots of 907 square metres despite Kingston’s Green Wedge Plan stating the area is “where reserves and public open space are encouraged to be located”.

The plan, adopted in 2012, recommends the land be rezoned to green wedge A zone, where the minimum lot size is 40 hectares.

The applicant argued council had effectively changed its policy on the

land, having flagged the possibility of the area being included in the urban growth boundary in 2008 before Kingston’s Green Wedge Plan was adopted.

The original planning application made reference to potential future residential development but was later amended to claim the subdivided land would be used for horse agistment.

Kingston mayor, Cr Paul Peulich,

tion. Assistant secretary Diana Donahue addressed Monday evening’s council meeting and said there were “no valid reasons” why it should be approved.

Cr Rosemary West said the site was a former landfill and council could be open to “legal liabilities” if residential development was approved on “unstable ground”.

said he and council officers had met the applicant and denied specifically giving advice to change the application details.

“We advised the applicant the only way any support could be given for this proposal was if it was for horse agistment and not for residential purposes,” Cr Peulich said.

Thanks mates PATTERSON River CFA crew received a special visit last week from Fire and Rescue NSW chief superintendent Mal Connellan.

The fire boss was there to thank the 10 CFA fire stations where his crews were deployed during the disastrous Hazelwood mine fire earlier this year. He presented a plaque to Patterson River CFA operations officer Cliff O’Connor (pictured above left) to recognise the strengthening relationship between the fire services in working together to protect lives and properties.

Patterson River fire station is at 37 McLeod Rd, Carrum.

Lifesavers on a high over building award AN award-winning new clubhouse is giving Carrum Surf Lifesaving Club members a flying start to the new beach season.

Described as one of the most impressive buildings in Kingston, the “butterfly roof with one box on an angle on top of another box� design is a stand-out.

It received the Land Victoria Local Government Property Award at the recent Excellence in Property Awards hosted by the Australian Property Institute.

The $1.8 million redevelopment came after the former building was closed for safety reasons after storm damage in January 2010.

Architects Peter Wright and Associates undertook extensive public consultation when designing the new concrete and timber building over two levels. It has a large storage and equipment area underneath, first aid room, and members’ change room.

Upstairs is a fully equipped kitchen and function area, bar and wide-view observation area.

The building footprint has been moved forward two metres to give club members a better view of the mouth of the Patterson River.

Surrounding the structure is upgraded lighting, landscaping, boardwalks improving accessibility to areas - including the beach - and a creative playground.

Club president David Hassel said the 252 members were starting to warm up for the upcoming season with gear inspections and training. An open day in November will show off the award-winning premises to potential new members.

Kingston mayor Cr Paul Peulich said the award was a “fitting award for a beautiful building�. “The storms of 2010 presented Kingston Council with a challenge and we turned it into an opportunity to create something truly special for the lifesaving club and the community. “We are all proud to have been presented with this award and it is something that Kingston residents can take pride in, because they contributed to the end result we see today. “As well as providing funding towards the clubhouse re-build, Kingston Council has also spent about $1 million on rejuvenating the Carrum foreshore, improving facilities on Carrum beach.�

Seniors fest back for October OCTOBER is Seniors Festival month in Kingston, with local groups, clubs and organisations once again extending an invitation to residents to come and try their activities.

This year’s festival features a rich variety of events and activities to showcase what the Kingston community has to offer, including Mediterranean music, a Men’s Shed barbecue, a wedding bush festival, and wine and cheese tasting.

The festival will kick off with the intergenerational performance ‘Talking About Our Generations’ at Parkdale Secondary College on Thursday 2 October.

It will feature entertainment by popular acts from previous years, including ‘Still in the Pink’ singers, U3A choir and multicultural music, singing, dancing and food from around the world.

Other events and activities include sports, games and viewing collectables to activities around health, the arts and entertainment.

A Men’s Shed community breakfast every Wednesday during the festival will give men a feed, a chance to meet like-minded others from their community - and even some computer training if they want it.

Or, visitors can pop along to the Mordialloc Community Centre on Monday 6 October for The Elixir of Youth to hear about the sources people go to in their quest to live longer.

New home found for carols Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON’S Carols by the Bay event is on the move due to its increasing popularity and a handful of troublemakers harming its family-friendly reputation.

Council decided to relocate the event, held each December, from the Peter Scullin Reserve in Mordialloc to Highett’s Sir William Fry Reserve.

Councillors at Monday evening’s council meeting heard Victoria Police have advised a venue with “more open space� would make the event

more manageable. Cr Geoff Gledhill said the popularity of the Carols by the Bay was “a nice problem to have� but noted there were “some concerns raised around security� about an event for families. “I don’t think people arriving ‘fully loaded’, getting off the train and then wandering around with Father Christmas is really the sort of image we want,� he said.

Police noted a change of venue may discourage youths who do not participate in the carols singing or activities to attend.

Cr Gledhill supported the move to Highett and noted there were more

parking spaces available at the Sir William Fry Reserve.

Cr David Eden said it was a shame Mordialloc was losing the event. “It’s unfortunate we’re allowing the bad behaviour of a very small minority to make us move it to a less favourable location for some people,� he said. “Public transport is a key requirement for many people, especially during the holiday period, when other family members may be using the only car they have.�

Council officers noted Westfield Southland would need to be approached about providing parking spaces during the event as part of an

extended sponsorship deal with the shopping centre owner since the Sir William Fry Reserve is close to Southland shopping centre.

Cr Ron Brownlees said council may arrange buses to transport event goers from Southland train station. “I’m quite sure we’ll do what we normally do with our community buses and arrange pickups and drop offs in the car park,� he said.

Kingston Council hosts several major festivals each year such as the Mordialloc Food, Wine and Music festival, Harvest festival and Globe to Globe World Music Festival.

PAST and present students and teachers are invited to Parkdale Secondary College’s 50th anniversary celebrations on Saturday 11 October.

At 5pm there will be a past students music extravaganza, also at 5pm Drew Mullett Dialogue, and a 6-10pm 50th anniversary reunion.

Catering is by Oscars Hangout with a gourmet selection for purchase.

Drinks will be at bar prices.

Bookings are essential for catering purposes. Call 9580 6311.

This was incorrect.

The misidentification of the Bayview Chiropractic Clinic was made in error.

September 2014

IT was an emotional but proud moment when I returned to Parliament last week after six long months of treatment for bowel cancer. The welcome I received from colleagues from both sides of the House was overwhelming, and I am grateful for their support, and the support of my family, staff and many friends in the community who have wished me well. I look forward to continuing to enjoy life and representing the Carrum electorate.

THE first order of the day was to invite Minister for Sport Damian Drum to visit the Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve to talk with stakeholders about an upgrade of facilities at the reserve. The complex caters to a number of sports including football, cricket and tennis, and services the Skye, Carrum Downs and Sandhurst areas.

GREAT news this month for first home buyers that they will receive a 50 percent stamp duty concession on both new builds and established home purchases. This is in addition to the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant for newly constructed homes and represents a saving of around $200 million over the next year for 26,000 Victorians.

I WAS pleased to meet Hayley Russell from 1st Seaford Scout Group, who was presented with a Queen Scout Award – the first for 1st Seaford Scouts in 13 years. The award represents more than 500 hours work over three years – a huge effort from an outstanding young lady.

BONBEACH Primary School has been given $117,040 for a revamp of its hall. This latest investment is on top of the $340,000 funding commitment to the school, made as part of the 2014/15 State Budget and is great news for staff and families at the school.

SINCE coming to office in 2010-11 the Victorian Coalition Government has provided the Country Fire Authority (CFA) with more than $2.29 billion and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) with more than $1.45 billion.

On the contrary, the government’s contribution to the CFA budget for 2014–15 is $457 million, $58 million more than under the previous Labor government’s last budget, and $39 million more to the MFB ($326 million).

Council backs away from port storm

Pupils lead the way in coastal care PUPILS from a number of Kingston schools took part in the ‘I sea, I care’ Marine Ambassador Workshop last week run by the Dolphin Research Institute.

Ambassadors Arnetta (Westall Primary School), Jeremy (Cheltenham East), Aaron (Chelsea), Jonathan (Chelsea), Chloe (Kingston Heath) and Will (St Joseph’s) collected bags of rubbish at Mordialloc beach to show how they care for the environment.

The pupils are among 2500 from 30 schools in Kingston being trained as peer educators who use a “ripple” approach to get their message across.

They share their experiences in classroom talks and at school assemblies, keeping the I sea, I care environmental message alive and relevant.

So successful is the program that it won a Victorian Coastal Award for Excellence last year.

I sea, I care aims to convince Kingston residents that “what lives around our coast is too precious to lose”.

Surveys have highlighted misconceptions about the significance of Victoria’s unique marine ecosystems and species. Sadly, they found that more than 90 per cent of residents value other states’ marine ecosystems above our own.

This is a critical barrier to the success of those working on coastal and catchment issues.

KINGSTON Council has steered clear of getting in too deep in the debate over the expansion of the Port of Hastings.

The mayor, Cr Paul Peulich, had backed the port expansion last month as “crucial to the state’s long term prosperity” and a boon for Melbourne’s south east.

However, Cr Rosemary West said the planned expansion of the port was “highly contentious” in the lead up to November’s state election.

The Napthine government has earmarked Western Port as its preferred site for a second major port in Victoria to ease the strain on the Port of Melbourne and ensure future capacity for large container ships.

The Labor opposition has floated the idea of an expanded Bay West port near Werribee instead of the Hastings plan if it wins government.

“I query whether it’s appropriate for a councillor to be taking up such a politically partisan position on behalf of this council when councillors haven’t discussed it,” Cr West said.

Cr Peulich’s mother, Inga Peulich, is Liberal MP for South East Metropolitan Region.

At Monday evening’s council meeting Cr Peulich made it clear he had been speaking as the chair of the South East Melbourne Councils Alliance but also said Kingston Council had briefed federal and state MPs in 2013 endorsing council support for the expanded Port of Hastings if appropriate infrastructure in the south east suburbs is put in place.

Seven councils – Kingston, Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Cardinia, Casey, Greater Dandenong and Bass Coast – are members of the SEM Councils Alliance.

Cr Ron Brownlees was previously Kingston’s representative when mayor and said there was nothing unusual about the mayor making statements about Kingston Council matters.

“The mayor has delegated authority to talk and make decisions about council affairs,” he said.

Cr West said there were environmental concerns surrounding the port’s expansion and environmental groups have approached the Ramsar Secretariat in Switzerland to tell the global wetland watchdog Western Port’s ecology is threatened by plans to expand the Port of Hastings.

Cr Peulich said that aspect of the port’s expansion was a matter for the Mornington Peninsula Shire but all south east councils would look at environmental reports when completed “with great interest”.

He said environmental dangers would be examined closely and heeded.

Crs David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West wanted council officers to prepare a report based on environmental analysis of the expanded Port of Hastings.

Crs Peulich, Brownlees, Geoff Gledhill and Tamsin Bearsley voted against the move.

Crs Tamara Barth and John Ronke had left the meeting.

Councillors back wedge subdivision Continued from Page 1 Cr Geoff Gledhill said councillors should not do “mind reading about what the applicant intends to do”.

“Any further use of the land would be subject to further council consideration,” he said.

Crs Peulich, Gledhill, Ron Brownlees, Tamsin Bearsley and John Ronke backed the application. Crs David Eden, Steve Staikos, West and Tamara Barth voted against the proposal.

Cr West said the approval set “a terrible precedent” opening up the potential for subdivision almost anywhere in the green wedge north of Heatherton Rd. The council officers’ report had concluded: “Based on a thorough assessment of the application against the relevant provisions of the Kingston Planning Scheme, the proposal is considered inappropriate in this location and should not be supported.”

Cr Staikos said the approval of the application would mean “council will have to justify ourselves at a later date”.

Kingston councillors are bitterly divided over the future of the Green Wedge. Councillors agreed in 2012 to adopt the Kingston Green Wedge Plan as a “framework for action to guide the management of the Green Wedge”.

However, several notices of motion since the Plan’s adoption have contradicted recommendations by Plan consultants Planisphere in a push to subdivide and develop sections of the Green Wedge.

Women in mosque peace talks JUST weeks before Australia announced it would send forces to the Middle East to oppose Islamic State forces, more than 200 women met at a mosque in Langwarrin to speak about peace being the common message of all religions.

The interfaith lunch at the Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque was part of a Serving Humanity symposium organised by the women’s auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria.

“Each of the speakers emphasised the need for compassion and service to humanity, according to their religions and beliefs, for example Buddhist, Jewish or Islamic, either personal or faith inspired,” Aziz Bhatti, spokesperson of the Victorian Ahmadiyya community, said.

“It was evident from the speeches that no religion teaches hatred or violence towards any other. The importance of such discussions and forums in today's fragile world was also stressed.”

Speakers included the MP for Evelyn and speaker of the Legislative Assembly Christine Fyffe, cabinet secretary and MP for South East Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich, Narre Warren South MP Judith

Graley, chairperson of the Buddhist Council of Victoria Peggy Page, Casey Interfaith Network’s Pamela Mamouney, Jewish Christian Muslim Association secretary and director for the Online Hate Prevention Institute Jo Silver, Buddhist documenter and university administrator Diana Cousens, and chaplain at Monash University Jay Robinson.

Mr Bhatti said the idea for the conference came from a long tradition of women’s auxiliaries in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement, in Islam, where women are encouraged to organise their own events with their own freedoms and comforts in mind.

“The Ahmadiyya women’s auxiliary of Victoria decided to hold its first interfaith symposium here nine years ago,” he said. “Over the years, this annual symposium has discussed many local and global issues and gained popularity and appreciation in the wider community.

“Leading women from all walks of life such as politics, government, education, charity organisations, interfaith networks, religious groups and police are among the regular guests of the events organised and run by our women’s auxiliary.

“The events are helping to empower women to give them confidence and leadership, and encouraging them to come forward and help humanity within their own work, social circles and communities.”

The Ahmadiyya Muslim community claims 100 per cent literacy among its male and female members, and says a “huge number of Ahmadi women are excelling in the fields of science, medicine, law and business”.

“These platforms and conferences generate ideas, such as learning from each other, and attendees take home feelings of love, affection, sisterhood and kinship,” Mr Bhatti said.

“Many misconceptions were put to rest. Ideas that are shared in the symposium and over the lunch are taken back to their extended circles with a revived commitment towards helping others in need.

“More importantly, attendees appreciate Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s efforts and passion towards humanity and bringing Islam’s true teachings to life again.”

Flagman flies into ISIS storm Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A MAN who sells flags from his Carrum home became the focus of media attention last week after talkback radio callers noticed an ISIS flag flying at his property.

Rob Boot said he raised the blackand-white flag of the terrorist group last Wednesday morning for just five minutes before a taxi driver stopped and knocked on the door of Mr Boot’s Nepean Highway home to buy it for $40.

A second ISIS flag was sold almost as quickly.

Mr Boot said he does not endorse any of the many flags he sells, while admitting some are “a little more interesting” than others.

“I don’t even ask why people want a flag, because to be honest, I’m usually then subjected to a sermon about it,” he said.

The unflappable 62-year-old said the callers to talkback radio had sparked a media “storm” with TV crews camped outside his home when he spoke to The News last Thursday.

“It’s all a bit silly and it’s not illegal to sell those flags,” he said.

Mr Boot’s biggest regret seemed to be not charging more money for the two flags.

He noted a Sydney mosque sold an ISIS flag for $2000 earlier this month.

“The blokes who bought the flags from me got a bargain,” he said.

Mr Boot stressed he did not in any way support terrorism and said the alleged Sydney plot to behead a random member of the public, uncovered by ASIO last week, was “upsetting”.

“I’m glad the authorities have caught those involved,” Mr Boot said.

The flags Mr Boot sells, including

the ISIS flags displayed last week, are made in China but are shipped from a supplier in the USA. “It’s not a problem ordering them and sometimes they come in batches so I don’t actually know which flags I’m getting until they arrive.”

He said he sells “all sorts” of flags such as Eureka flags, AFL club flags and historical flags.

The latest incident is not the first time Mr Boot has found himself in the media spotlight over the flags he sells.

In 2012, he courted controversy when he displayed a Nazi swastika flag outside his home.

“People want Nazi flags for all sorts of reasons,” he said. “They sometimes need them for theatre produc-

tions, for example.”

Kingston Council said it would consider banning Nazi flags in the region two years ago when Mr Boot flew the swastika but seemed powerless to act.

A spokesperson said a council officer was sent to view the ISIS flag last week.

“Kingston Council became aware that a potentially offensive flag was flying from a premises on Nepean Highway in Carrum,” the spokesperson said.

However, the council may take a different approach than trying to ban “offensive” flags this time around.

“Council is investigating whether any local laws are being breached in the running of a business from that address,” the spokesperson said.

In the meantime, Mr Boot seemed to be enjoying his latest bout of notoriety, agreeing to pose for pictures with a Union Jack and a Scottish flag as Scotland voted on a referendum for independence from the UK. On Friday last week Scotland voted to remain part of Great Britain. Perhaps this was fortunate for Mr Boot.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott described anyone who wanted the UK to split as being no friends of justice or freedom. ‘‘I think that the people who would like to see the break-up of the United Kingdom are not the friends of justice, the friends of freedom, and the countries that would cheer at the prospect...are not the countries whose company one would like to keep,” Mr Abbott said.

NEWS DESK

Writes of passage for ‘forgotten army’ Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au IT’S a story more than 70 years in the making, a little known but integral chapter in our nation’s history set as Australia faced its darkest hour.

A group of young men was propelled to the frontline of the Allies’ defense against a seemingly unstoppable Japanese advance, isolated on a “barren, dusty, waterless, god-forsaken rock” under a barrage of bombs as the nation faced imminent invasion.

While much has been written about the bombing of Darwin little is known about the defensive outpost on Horn Island in Torres Strait and the hundreds of men who fought and died there during World War II as part of 34th Australian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery.

But now thanks to decades of diligence by Balnarring resident Gordon Cameron, the heroic deeds of those young men are finally receiving the recognition they deserve.

Mr Cameron was among the hundreds of servicemen sent as anti-aircraft gunners to defend Horn Island between 1942 and 1944 as the might of the Japanese imperial forces bore down on Australia.

Last week, Mr Cameron’s life-long quest to publish a book chronically the history of the unit finally came to fruition.

The book is a collection of stories of “boys thrown on a desolate island, with prospect of abandonment by the army should the Japanese arrive, and the post war struggle for recognition by an army who for a long time admitted lacking any records of our service”.

A total of 190 Australian and allied veterans died in Torres Strait during the war, while a further 124 were injured.

“They became part of Australia’s ‘forgotten army’,” Mr Cameron said. “Even today, most Australians have never heard of Horn Island nor do they know there was a war there.”

The 34th Anti-Aircraft Battery was formed in Melbourne in 1942 and posted to Horn Island with the task of defending the allied airstrip against Japanese bombers.

Horn Island was the closest allied operating base to New Guinea in 1942 and was used by Australian and American bombers to attack the Japanese advance to Port Moresby.

It was subject to multiple bombing raids.

The young gunners, mostly under 21 and with minimum military training, were located on this mostly unknown island with none of the usual infrastructure of most country towns.

“No roads, water, electricity or any of the usual equipment like bulldozers tractors or the like,” Mr Cameron explained.

“The task of digging the gun pits for the big guns in hot tropical sun using pick and shovel was a daunting for young boys away from home for the first time.”

Making matters even more trying, the gunners were confined to the battery site for two years, with no leave permits.

Under these extreme conditions, the gunners developed a strong bond, a bond that would last the rest of their lives.

Mr Cameron, who is the president of 34th Australian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery Association, said that after the war, the gunners resolved to maintain their wartime bonds and arranged an annual reunion.

The association also produced an annual newsletter, the Horn Island Echo.

“After 66 issues we decided to combine the best of those stories in a journal that would tell the story of the times the battery spent on Horn Island,” Mr Cameron said. “Hopefully Issue 67 will fill in some gaps in our military history.”

That last issue – The Best of the Echo – was finally published last week.

With the Anzac Centenary just around the corner, Flinders MP Greg Hunt presented Mr Cameron with a cheque for $1000 from the fed-

eral government’s Saluting their Service grants to help with publishing costs.

Mr Hunt said the grants presented an opportunity for community groups to honour war heroes in a way that was fitting to the local area.

“These grants will contribute to telling the story of those Australians who served our nation in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations as we commemorate the Centenary of ANZAC,” Mr Hunt said.

“The Australian government has recently

awarded more than $274,000 in grant funding to support projects of national significance that will honour the service and sacrifice of Australia’s servicemen and women.

“Many of the projects awarded through the Saluting their Service grants program will become permanent tributes to those who served our country.”

Murder charge: A 49-year-old woman taken into custody after the stabbing death of 31-year-old man at Seaford on Sunday has been charged with murder. Picture: Gary Sissons

Woman charged over fatal stabbing A 49-year-old woman appeared in court on Tuesday charged with the stabbing murder of a 31-year-old man at Seaford on Sunday.

Lisa Jane McLaughlin appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court charged with the murder of Graham Stevens.

Police were called to a property in Railway Parade about 2.15pm on Sunday after a man was found with critical injuries. He died shortly afterwards.

McLaughlin was taken into custody at the scene before being formally charged with one

count of murder at an out-of-sessions hearing in Frankston on Monday.

During Tuesday morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court appearance, Magistrate Andrew Capell noted it was her first time in custody and ordered she be seen by a doctor at the earliest opportunity.

He also ordered that CCTV footage be prepared as part of the prosecution case.

McLaughlin was remanded in custody to appear before the court for a committal mention on February 18.

Everything you want to know about being a miserable twerp

By Stuart McCullough SOME things are hard to measure. No matter how powerful or profound they are, in many regards they cannot be gauged and cannot be captured. Into this category I’d place things like love and hate. Sensitivity, however, is a notable exception. Sensitivity can be measured not in metres, miles or in litres but by the songs of Simon and Garfunkel. The greater the number of songs in your possession, the more sensitive a soul you clearly are. In fact, extreme sensitivity is evident where the Garfunkel quotient is skewed to an especially high level. Put simply, anyone who owns a copy of Bright Eyes is unlikely to be able to withstand direct sunlight.

Simon and Garfunkel have a lot to answer for. For a certain kind of person, they were the template for all it was to be young, shy and fiercely intelligent (such intelligence having been self-diagnosed). Sadly, I was certainly a certain kind of person and I regarded Simon and Garfunkel less as role models as I did my musical brothers and soul mates. My aim in life was to score as highly on the Simon and Garfunkometer as possible.

It is often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It’s also the creepiest. But despite this, between the years 1988 and 1993, I bore an uncanny resemblance to Art Garfunkel as he appeared on the Bookends LP. Right down to the black skivvy. But if you’re serious about emulating Simon and/or Garfunkel, you need more than a mere skivvy. You need a nylon-

PAGE 22

stringed acoustic guitar.

The ‘nylon’ was Simon and Garfunkel’s weapon of choice. Should you decide that the life of a misery guts is for you, the first thing you need to do is get one of these suckers. Back before learning a musical instrument was replaced by uploading pornography onto Facebook, nylon-stringed acoustic guitars were plentiful. These were the instruments that were gifted to plucky youngsters who dreamed of

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 24 September 2014

playing like Jimmy Page, but ended up struggling to get through Greensleeves without stopping, before giving up and consigning the whole exercise to the judo-bin of history. Those who persevered and who weren’t rewarded for their efforts with an electric guitar, learned to play folk songs. Folk music is often referred to as a “gateway” form of music, in that it often leads to harder, more dangerous varieties.

Indeed, as a musical snob let me

say that mere folk is for lightweights, whereas Simon and Garfunkel is the very stuff of the mythical hard-core.

They played folk-rock. It’s one thing to be just another jerk strumming a guitar; it’s also one thing to be a jerk strumming a guitar while standing in front of a drum kit. That, my friends, is “folk-rock”. But to execute folk rock to the standard demanded by Messrs Simon and Garfunkel, you’ve also got to be able to stare off into the middle distance. The importance of the middle distance to music is, ironically enough, often overlooked. It creates the impression that the singer may be able to see into the future. In that regard, Art Garfunkel was a blond afro-headed flux capacitor on legs, as no one could stare into the middle distance with the same level of conviction.

Once you’ve got the fundamentals in place it’s time to start writing some songs. Here’s where the trouble really set in. Let me be the first to admit that in my late teens and early 20s, I had a chronic case of the Simon and Garfunkels. So bad was my condition that I kept a nylon-stringed guitar close to me at all times in order to ensure that when the melancholy muse struck, I’d be ready. It wouldn’t take much to set me off either. At one point running out of fresh milk was a crisis of sufficient standing to prompt a song. Even when a genuine misfortune came my way, I routinely responded through music never thinking that the song I was making was far more painful that the event I was trying to document.

It goes without saying except that it would leave a nasty blank spot on the page that nearly all the songs I wrote were really about my favourite topic – me. But while this was a subject of inexhaustible interest to me, it’s likely that it was – at best – of passing interest to others. At worst it was a major source of irritation. Undeterred, I went further than merely writing my songs of misery, strumming an acoustic guitar and staring off into the middle distance while wearing a black skivvy – I decided to do all these things in full view of the public. In many regards, I went the full-Funkel and paid a heavy price for my efforts.

I couldn’t tell you what brought me to my senses. Whether it was the indifference that greeted my best musical efforts or just growing up, I couldn’t say. Maybe it was the realisation that while Simon and Garfunkel talked (or sang) the sensitive loser talk, their lives bore no resemblance to this at all. These guys weren’t crippled by shyness and spending their Saturday nights finger picking and staring off out of windows in the hope that the phone might right. They were highly successful musicians who’d sold millions of albums. They may have sung about sitting about reading poetry and pondering the future of the theatre, but in truth they were off filming Catch 22 and marrying Princess Leia. Perhaps it was simply the James Brown cassette someone gave me that helped me see the error of my ways. Thank goodness for that. www.stuartmccullough.com

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance ROSS D Wylie (surname is actually spelt Wyllie) was born in 1948 and grew up in Brisbane. As a young child he suffered polio that left him with a limp.

Ross turned to music and by the time he was 16 he was singing in local band The Kodiaks before releasing his first single Short Skirts followed by A Bit of Love.

Ross was later offered the job of compere for a new pop show called Uptight and moved to Melbourne. Uptight was then born in October 1967.

Two years later Ross recorded the Ray Stevens song Funny Man which became Ross’ first national hit. It was followed by a Johnny Young composition The Star (arranged by John Farrar) which became a number one hit and was also recorded by Herman’s Hermits.

Ross later left the television series and teamed up with Fable Records in 1971 and recorded He Gives Us all His Love (a Randy Newman song) and It Takes Time. In 1972 he released Sweet White Dove produced by Brian Cadd.

Earlier this year Ross appeared at a concert at Crown Casino and received a standing ovation and was invited to appear on the Gold Go Show! In August and once again Ross received a very rousing standing ovation. Finally now available on CD for the first time is Ross D. Wylie The Complete Collection (Festival/Aztec Records) featuring all the classic hits including Funny Man, The Star, My Little Girl, Smile, Uptight Party Medley, Short Skirts and many more tracks including tracks live from Festival Hall Melbourne in 1994.

Ross, his wife of 47 years Eileen, and their two sons Kristian 43 and Ross Wyllie Jr 42 still live in Melbourne.

The album has been remastered by former Aztecs drummer Gil Matthews and liner notes by Ian McFarlane and rare photos from Ross’ own collection.

This album is a must for any serious Australian music collector. www.aztecrecords.com.au We have some copies of Ross D Wylie’s album to give away.

By Gary Turner

The laughs are set to continue in Simon Phillips’ fluid and passionate production of Verdi’s Falstaff (1 -11 December) starring baritone Warwick Fyfe in the title role as the mischievous old rogue. It’s a keenly-observed portrait of a middle-aged man trying to recapture his youth through attempted sexual liaisons. www.opera.org.au *** JERRY Herman’s Tony Award winning La Cage Aux Folles starring Todd McKenney, Simon Burke, Rhonda Burchmore and Marg Downey will show from November 22 – December 7 at the Arts Centre. Tickets www.theproductioncompany.com.au *** PIECES is the second single from 2014 Star Maker Jared Porter’s debut album East to West. Jared duets with the beautiful Kaylee Bell, 2013 Star Maker.

Kaylee was announced Female Artist of the Year for the second time at the New Zealand Country Music Awards. Entries are now open for the 2015 Toyota Star Maker competition. www.starmaker.com.au/entryform *** TOP TEN ALBUMS for a concert at the Palais Theatre on January 29th. Mick Jones teamed up with Lou Gramm, thus making Foreigner One of the biggest successes of the 70s and 80s. Early hits Cold as Ice, Hot Blooded featured Gramm’s soaring vocals before moving into the 80s with hits like Urgent and the power ballad Waiting for a Girl Like You. This song, a hit in its own right, provided the template for what would become Foreigner’s biggest success. Australia’s Tina Arena and US singer Mariah Carey both covered I want to know what love is. www.cuggentertainment.com ***

A NEARLY flawless copy of Superman’s comic book debut has sold for a record $3.46 million. A New York comics dealer submitted the record setting bid in the eBay auction for Action Comics No.1, first published in 1938. About 100 copies are believed to exist. *** OPERA Australia celebrates all things Italian, with opera on stage and romantic, themed dining off stage at the Arts Centre Melbourne this season.

The season begins with a new production by John Bell of Puccini’s heartbreaking classic, Tosca (12 November - 13 December). Featuring one of the

most spectacular opera sets in recent years, the Tosca set includes glittering gold leaf and ornate paintings recreated from the famous Sant’Andrea della Valle cathedral in Italy. The glorious set

by Michael Scott-Mitchell has been extended to make the most of the spacious stage in the State Theatre.

Humour and whimsy collide in Donizetti’s comic opera, Don Pasquale (19 November - 12 December). Set in the colourful streets of Italy in the 1950s, this is a bright tale of merriment and misadventure, starring opera’s favourite comedic couple, Rachelle Durkin and Conal Coad.

normal emotional insecurities, as in a feeling of a lower status, or simply a fraud? Years ago as a professional actor, mainly on stage in a world fraught with ambition, networking and bad mouthing I had an epiphany. As I saw it most actors had an extra serving of this complex, which became a form of advantage if any particular big name type honed in on me. It’s surprising how a simple sentence like “At least I can act” can have on actors having a period possibly or otherwise above their station in life.

Insecurity reigns in an industry where at any one time only some 5% are in work.

Much later, possibly late 60’s, it dawned this complex occurs at various levels in many walks of life, politicians included, no matter the public showing. It helps to be aware of this side of human nature.

Am I a fraud? Indubitably. *** THOSE flashy pictures of grand visions compliments of our state government’s direct line to the Herald Sun are intriguing. I see them as obvious pre-election nonsense but one cannot escape the fact our government has done the research and seriously conclude the pie in the skies really do work. One wonders why, until a read for a day or two of the Your Say pages in the same newspaper discloses the clarity of the public’s think-

ing. Comedy capers. *** CHARLIE Rich song “Behind Closed Doors” as in “no-one knows what’s going on”. “This passion, though it begins with the young, yet forsakes not the old, or rather suffers no one who is truly it’s servant to grow old, but makes the aged participators of it not less than the tender maiden” [Emerson]. Alas, the reality of the undeserved slur- “a dirty old man”.

The ultra taboo topic of sex? Pedophilia is acceptable as a subject, thieving, bashing, betraying, even killing but mention bedroom stuff as serious orderly conversation and it’s “too much information”.

Aristotle’s advice: “Coyness serves as an ornament in youth and a defect in old age”. Fascinating. Trained to be hung up; all of us. Then again... *** FROM Michael Montaigne: Queen Joanna of Naples (14th century) caused her first husband Andreosso to be hanged from the grill of her window by a gold and silver cord, plaited by her own hands, once she discovered that neither his organs or his potency corresponded to the hopes she had conceived of his matrimonial duties from his stature, his beauty, his youth and his disposition, by which he had won her and deceived her.

(A pig in a poke?). Interesting. Still, on

an everyday level while it may be nice to wake up with a vision alongside, it may well be a nightmare for the vision. Eve started it. *** GOT this flyer from a new wine crowd called Winephoria. $50 trial offer voucher and printed on the back “Cliff, what do you call that euphonic feeling of excitement and joy through the love of quality wine?” It depends how many she drinks. Porphyry Pearl was once the go. *** AS a kid I loved a comic strip “Little Tommy Tring-he could walk through anything”. The dream of slipping into a bank vault and helping myself. As an adult I could use my Tommy Tring powers to choof to Canberra and film all those pollies doing all those things they tell us not to do. Post on facebook: HYPOCRISY? I wonder if Jeff Kennett has a framed picture of his mentor (Baroness Margaret Thatcher) on his study wall? *** I’M prepared to believe the necessity to raise our security level, temporarily ignoring the lack of similar action after Port Arthur and Hoddle Street, but paying many billions of Aussie dollars for a submarine to be built in Japan or wherever, and not delivered before 2035

A Grain of Salt A GENTLEMAN at my local RSL checks out my socks; thinks they should be red; no surprise on the Mornington Peninsula where Liberals hold a strong majority and the Herald-Sun is the newspaper of choice. It’s a joke, the red socks, but I’ve often had the “far left” tag applied. Not so, left or right; middle is more accurate, a vague two pot long black socialist. I voted for the Sex Party once, way back when sex was a reality, now a vague memory. Prior to, as a virgin, I had a touch of Tony Abbott with a liking for Bob Santamaria. As a general philosophy I disagree with most of the Liberal Party’s motivations. Having said this most of all of them (both sides) are primarly there to feather their own nests.

Cynical again? Of course. I mean... *** WHEN one sees a situation where super rich money (Gina Rinehart) can single handedly bring down the government’s mining tax, albeit inadequately prepared, followed by PUP chief Clive Palmer paying his way into politics and calling the shots along with his band of puppets, and our big brother leaders (Tony and Julie) walking the talk on the world stage, more accurately offstage right, chests thumping, why shouldn’t I? *** AN Inferiority complex, aside from

By Cliff Ellen becomes a super strain on my thinking.

Please, kindly inform me why, if anyone knows why. *** I DO so enjoy those dulcet tones of Mathias Corman advising me on financial matters...Lend Lease for the East West Link-there’s a surprise...“To mock the parliament is to mock the people of Victoria” says Premier Denny on scarlet pimpernel Geoff Shaw. Wrong mate.

It’s both sides of politics who mock the parliament, and therefore mock the people of Victoria...IPA director John Roskam in Teddy’s old seat of Hawthorn. “I was very encouraged by the grassroots support I have received”.

No doubt from his Moet drinking right wing mates...To William and Kate; a playmate for George. Dane, Kylie? I’m estatic...Farewell to Joan Rivers. Comedian par excellence....“The winds which men most fear are those which uncover them” [Ariston] hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com

Stonecats win a thriller

PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FOR three quarters in the Peninsula League Grand Final, Frankston YCW were in total control against Mornington.

However, a last quarter revival turned an uneventful and somewhat boring game into a contest that excited the crowd and created some real emotion.

While the Dogs completely dominated the last 25 minutes of the contest, it wasn’t enough to take the ultimate prize.

Frankston YCW deserved to win the most important game of football for the season and they did so, 8.15 (63) to 8.9 (57).

The Stonecats, as expected, were 2014 Premiers.

It was a fitting result for the best team throughout the 2014 season. The Stonecats finished clear on top of the ladder and beat every side in the competition this season.

Three of their six defenders (Kevin Lylak, Byron Barry and Anthony Barry) were selected in the Team of the Year, while the best forward in the game in David Bodley was also named in the team.

The key to this contest, however, was who was going to be the dominant big man on the ground.

YCW’s Ash Eames was named by the Peninsula coaches as the number one ruckman in the game. Mornington’s Michael Gay was awarded the League Best and Fairest, polling a massive 31 votes.

Eames, as we all know, has been a star of this competition for many, many years. Again in the grand final, he was a standout. Without question, Ash took the honours on the day and was a significant reason as to why Frankston YCW won the game. His work across half back, taking contested marks and ensuring he was always in the best position to benefit his team went a long, long way

PAGE 26

to helping his side win the game.

While Eames was significant, Byron Barry was clearly the best player on the ground.

Byron’s cousin Anthony (‘Bundy’) may have been awarded the league’s Most Valuable Player, however, on Sunday, Byron was the one who stood out.

Byron dominated across four quarters and when the game was in the balance in the last 25 minutes, it was Byron who

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 24 September 2014

took some telling marks and settled things down in defence.

In the first three quarters, it was the run and smarts of skipper Jie Coghlan, Scott McLeod and Tony Lester who worked tirelessly, while Jesse Darren-Coghlan was also doing the job on Mornington’s Jackson Calder.

Dale Carroll was proving to be a nuisance in the forward half for the Stonecats and Ben Tellis booted three very

clever goals.

Billy Rolfe was getting plenty of the ball on the wing and using it well and Ben Buckley was also using his left foot to perfection to hit up targets. Lachy Wallace was also getting a heap of it.

While the Stonecats didn’t blow Mornington away, they did appear to be in absolute control with the three quarter time scoreboard reading 7.11 (53) to 5.5 (35).

The message from Mornington coach Stuart Seager at three quarter time was all about taking the game on. That’s exactly what the Doggies did.

Although they conceded the first goal of the final quarter, the Dogs booted the final three majors of the game to fall short by just six points.

The Dogs missed a couple of sitters in the final ten minutes that could have given them a chance, however, time beat them in the end.

Some may remember the lost chances. The reality is the Dogs were blown away by YCW in the first half with 14 scoring shots to seven. The score was 6.8 (44) to 2.5 (17) at half time.

This is where the game was lost.

Mornington was able to come back against Bonbeach in the Preliminary after trailing by 39 points at half time, however, were unable to repeat the performance.

Warwick Miller was Mornington’s best, while Emilio Bitters worked tirelessly on the ball and Michael Williams backed up last week’s great game with another outstanding performance.

Make no mistake, Mornington better sign Michael Williams quickly, because there are other clubs circling.

Two players who didn’t feature in Mornington’s best but were outstanding were Damien McDowell and Adam Symes. Chris Baker was also very good for his team.

In the reserves, Mt Eliza 24-year-old Luke Young realised every young footballers’ dream of kicking a goal after the siren to win his team the Premiership.

Trailing by five points when the final siren sounded, Young had a shot from 55m out to the Kars St end. He kicked truly and his side won the game, coming back from 17 points down against YCW with just six minutes on the clock.

In the Under 18s, Mt Eliza tasted premiership glory against Mornington.

Sharks are the undisputed champions NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FOR the fourth time in the past seven seasons, Sorrento tasted premiership glory in the Nepean League Grand Final.

After limping into the Grand Final and being punished by Dromana last season, Sorrento took all of the experience they had over that decorated journey and put Crib Point to the sword on Saturday, winning 15.10 (100) to 5.12 (42).

It was a lifeless and uneventful 2014 Grand Final, although there was massive crowd at Hastings’ Thomas Barclay Reserve.

That’s not taking anything away from Sorrento’s victory – that’s the way they wanted it.

Without question, 85 per cent of the crowd was on the side of Crib Point.

Like a Victorian AFL side going to Adelaide Oval, Sorrento needed to get off to a good start and keep the natives quiet.

That’s exactly what they did and they mastered it. The crowd was against the Sharks the minute the teams were introduced onto the ground. The only way they could take the emotion out of the game was to take control of the match early.

And take control they did, from the very first bounce. They were clean and crisp and their good players got a feel of the footy early.

In fact, other than a 12 minute period late in the third quarter, Sorrento was in total control of the contest.

Sorrento didn’t need emotion from the crowd.

They generated it themselves.

Sorrento worked for one another. Their appetite for doing all the team things, like blocking, was evident from the first quarter. Whatever it took to get a team mate in a better position, free-up a team mate of protect one of their own, Sorrento was prepared to do.

They also ensured that they got numbers to the contest. Not one or two contests, but every contest.

Sorrento did not allow Crib Point to run and spread and get them on the overlap.

At no point in the match were the Pies able to get their run and carry game going, even when the momentum swung in that third quarter.

The Pies were constantly forced to get back over their mark and take a long kick down the line, given Sorrento was in position and working as effectively back, as they do forward.

Crib Point turned over the footy, such was the pressure applied further up the ground from the Sharks and their movement into the forward line always gave Sorrento’s backs a chance to spoil.

When the heat was turned up at different times, Sorrento stuck to the task, such was their experience in these big games.

Crib Point on the other hand got caught up in that emotion and took their mind off the job for periods.

From a physical point of view, Sorrento flexed their muscles. They were bigger and stronger across the ground and they upended a number of Crib Point’s players.

It also allowed Sorrento to win those one on one contests, which were always going to be the key in winning the game.

Both sides went in with very good forward lines.

It was always more about which midfield was going to give their forwards the best supply.

Sorrento’s ability to win those in and under contests for longer periods allowed the likes of Leigh Poholke, Miles Pitt and Zac Byrns to get plenty of supply up forward.

Sorrento’s coach, once again, was magnificent.

Troy Schwarze was the first player to get a clean possession in the first quarter and he was still running on top of the ground at the end.

Troy had plenty of helpers. Sorrento’s midfield depth was always going to be Crib Point’s biggest issue and it proved to be the case.

Leigh Treeby, Kayle Stringer-Morris, skipper James Hallahan, Daniel Grant, Ben Schwarze, Da-

vid Lawson and Grant Johnson all had a go through the middle and they were outstanding.

Ryan Jeffrey at centre half forward was superb.

Jeffrey’s work rate is second to none and he just gives his defenders and midfielders something to kick to all day. Whilst Poholke and Pitt are the finishers and get the accolades, Jeffrey is the man provide space behind him.

The Sorrento defence was great yet again. Chris Bagot did a wonderful job on Glenn Boyd, Ben McCormack was tireless, Jonny Casper got a job and did it superbly, Tyrren Head provided enormous run and drive and kicked a brilliant goal and Guy Stringer was his typical, classy self, reading the play, intercepting kicks forward and using his long kicking to advantage.

Ryan Williams in the ruck went toe to toe with Team of the Year ruckman James Cook and took the honours. Williams had much more of an impact around the ground.

Matt Dobrowolski and Josh Brigden may have missed a lot of the early success, however, will be a major part in their future success given their great

seasons and important roles they played in the big one. Jon Croad may have has 25 stitches in his leg after workplace accident, however, he was a major contributor, while Trevor Mattison just never stops sticking his head over the footy and laying the big tackles.

Only an even contribution from every player results in a premiership – there wasn’t one who didn’t do what they were required to do for Sorrento on Saturday.

For Crib Point, they were just outclassed.

The Pies didn’t have an even contribution from the entire group and this was the reason they lost.

Jacob Cook and Zac Condick down back were very good, Dean Warry was arguably the best player on the ground, Beau Monty and Kyle Arnott were tireless and Paul Smith’s work rate was first class.

Sorrento was just so much better and deserved to be crowned 2014 Nepean League Premiers.

In the Reserves, Somerville proved it was the best team in 2014,winning the flag against Devon Meadows, while Rosebud completed an undefeated 2014 with a win against Mt Eliza in the Under 18s.

Post-season moves on FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt Edwards a Python FORMER West Coast Eagle, North Melbourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards will play for Pines next season in Peninsula League.

Edwards signed with the Pythons last Thursday night.

The last time Edwards played on the Peninsula, he booted 100 goals for the Frankston Dolphins, winning the Frosty Miller and Liston Trophy along the way.

The Seaford junior has a linked with the Pythons through his partner.

However, it’s also the dollars on offer which has helped to lure Edwards to the snake pit.

Pines have been careful with their spending in recent years, waiting for the right opportunity to come along.

Regardless of the cost, Edwards’ signing will generate enormous revenue for the club, renewed interest in the club and the opportunity to recruit others.

Of those who are said to be joining Edwards is former junior and Frankston Dolphin Luke Potts.

What has been lost in these two big signings is the recruitment of Pat Swayne as coach.

Swayne has previously coached the club and is a Pines premiership player. He has spent the past five seasons at Frankston Dolphins as an assistant to Simon Goosey.

Guerra at Chelsea CHELSEA has been the club to put together the big deal being sort by Hawthorn Premiership player Brent Guerra.

There were many clubs chasing Guerra and the price tag was said to be bigger than we have seen in local footy before.

However, a ‘coterie group’ has been formed and is looking after Guerra’s salary.

The former Port Adelaide and St Kilda player is also said to be bring some more than handy types with him.

Mouse is back Former Hastings coach Glenn ‘Mouse’ Michie was back in the coaching mix last week and had

interviews with Pearcedale and Devon Meadows.

Tonight (Monday night), Glenn Michie will officially become the coach of the Panthers.

Devon Meadows have plenty to work with, considering their reserves played in the Grand Final on Saturday.

Close mate of Michie, Dylan Hand, is expected to join him, while there are others who are ‘keen to know’ what ‘Mouse’ is doing.

One of those is Hastings premiership player and reserves coach Craig Perrott, who is considering a move to assist Michie.

Muston a Bomber THE News reported first more than a week ago that Peninsula Team of the Year player Beau Muston would be announced as coach of Frankston Bombers.

Following the story in last week’s paper, there were leading officials at Frankston Bombers who scoffed at the very suggestion.

However, last Friday, the club announced Muston as coach.

There is a big rumour that there are a handful of Langwarrin players who are ready to follow.

Trouble at the Blues WE broke a story a couple of weeks ago regarding Hastings and the fact that there was some trouble in the camp.

While they lose Dylan Hand to Devon Meadows, it is also understood that Dale Alanis and Justin Berry will no longer be at the club next season.

Word is that the playing group made it clear that they didn’t want Berry or Alanis at the club next season.

The club tried its best to defuse the situation but the story lingered.

The next few weeks will be very interesting for Hastings, who also lose Stephen Charalambous to retirement.

There’s also a big question mark over the future of Taylor and Kain Stratton and Peter Mawson.

Taylor Stratton was right in the mix for the Pines’ coaching job, before it was given to Swayne.
