Big crowd MORE than 1000 people attended Patterson River CFA’s Open Day this month. There were giveaways for children, balloons, uniform displays, and memorabilia, including a hats and badges display at the brigade’s McLeod Rd base in Carrum. Children checked out fire trucks on display and were enthralled by fire-fighting demonstrations. Volunteer Rob Allen said the open day aimed to get the community involved “so people know what we do and how the station works. “We also want to give back to the community, to show residents our equipment, personnel, and how we can help them in the event of an emergency.” The station has 80 volunteer and three fulltime firefighters and operates around the clock. Around 40 volunteers are involved in fighting fires while the others do odd jobs. Patterson River brigade members were called out to emergencies 768 times in 12 months, including 326 calls where they were the first to respond and 442 call outs to support other brigades.

Open space ‘invader’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au PLANS to build an aged care home on land at Collins St in Mentone have come under fire from some residents and Kingston councillors keen to see the area used as open public space instead. Councillors at Monday evening’s meeting voted to push ahead with plans to sell the former depot in Collins St to an aged care provider amid heated debate about the timing of the sale process.

Cr Rosemary West said Kingston CEO John Nevins had previously said any sale would not take place until early next year, but there now seems to be some urgency selling the land. “The CEO dropped a bombshell by bringing forward the motion to commence a process for the sale of Collins St,” Cr West said. “Suddenly … councillors were told ‘Oh, by the way, we’re going to have a motion to sell the Collins St site next week’, so we only got a week’s notice.” Cr West said the community was be-

ing denied the opportunity to debate the best use of the Collins St site. Several Mentone residents have contacted The News in recent weeks to express their preference for the site to become public open space. “We shouldn’t be undertaking a process to sell the site until we know there is an aged care provider willing ... to take over four sites and manage them until they get around to building a giant three-storey facility next to the railway line,” Cr West said. Any aged care provider intending to build an aged care facility at Col-

ness case for putting in an expression of interest. He said council had “clearly announced its intention for the Collins St site [to be used] for aged care” last year. “It’s not new ... this argument is not about open space, it’s about providing quality of life for a particular group of people at the end of their life,” he said. “Sometimes we can’t debate with our community. Aged care is a very sensitive issue that you can’t go out and debate.” Continued Page 8

LETTERS No need for Bay Trail delay WHEN the Kingston Residents Association appealed the decision by Kingston Council to clear vegetation during construction of the Bay Trail, we did not intend to delay its construction. Nor do we believe this will be the result. This decision still has to be approved by Planning Minister Matthew Guy, who took more than 12 months to approve the Mentone Structure Plan. So, it is hard to see how the council would have had approval to have the job completed by Christmas, as Cr Ron Brownlees claimed (‘Appeal delays Bay Trail’, The News 22/10/14). All of our groups want the backof-kerb Bay Trail that council resolved to construct in February 2013. Our groups and the four minority councillors want the council to minimise the removal of native vegetation for the trail. Council is planning to remove as much vegetation as possible, and to take more vegetation for an extra parking lane on the gravel verge, despite the fact that cars could still park in the left-hand traffic lane as they do elsewhere on Beach Rd. No doubt some beachside residents will be pleased if their views are improved by the removal of this foreshore vegetation. We appealed to VCAT, requesting mediation, so we could have a discussion with the council which has not engaged in any meaningful consultation over the Bay Trail, or even, it seems, discussion with their councillor colleagues, except perhaps with their beachfront friends.

Had the council agreed to mediate a compromise, there would have been little or no delay, but it has refused to mediate and I have called a meeting of the appellant groups to decide where we go next. Maureen Lim, president, Kingston Residents Association

Councillors, KRA ‘vindicated’ THANKS to The News for reporting the right-of-reply statements published in the Parliamentary Hansard last week (‘Conflicts continue over ward grants’, The News 22/10/14). This was some vindication for the four councillors and two community members who have been damaged by Lorraine Wreford’s false and baseless accusations, not to mention the worthy, well-intentioned members of Kingston Residents Association, who have had a question mark put over their good works all year by Ms Wreford. It is important to note that Ms Wreford did not cite a single example of a Labor campaign activity that Kingston Residents Association had carried out, before using parliament as a ‘cowards castle’ to malign the KRA as a front for Labor campaign activities. Neither this, nor the long list of KRA achievements, stopped her allegations being reported in The News and amplified on Ms Wreford’s website for months in a nasty game of political football. I cannot recall an MP attacking a local Kingston community group like this in my 11 years on council. Cr Rosemary West, Central Ward

Retain our park WITH the Collins St depot site cleared, the council seems ready to sell it to an aged care developer, as announced last year. This requires a public process at which residents can object. The council majority shows little concern for the Mentone residents who have in petitions and at a public meeting made known their need for this land for parkland. We already have more highdensity development and less public open space than anywhere else in Kingston. Council shows even less concern for the interests of our elderly residents. On Father’s Day, I took my family across two major roads and a railway line to Keith Styles Reserve in Mentone. While there, we saw four wheelchairs being wheeled to the park from Remo St aged care by their families. Although we were at the park for only an hour, I imagine this sort of activity occurs regularly. It is sad to think this won’t be possible if council relocates the Remo St nursing home to the Collins St depot site. Kingston Council, please retain Remo St aged care so that its residents can retain access to open space for their health and wellbeing. Gavin Roberts, Mentone

Planned parking permit scheme stalled Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A PLANNED parking permit scheme for Chelsea traders has been put on hold pending further consultation with business owners. Kingston Council was gearing up to introduce a 12-month trial of the parking permit scheme for business owners and staff in and around Chelsea shopping centre. Some traders wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dare park their cars near their stores - behind Chelsea shopping centre near Woolworths â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because they fear being booked by inspectors. Small business owners are often unable to leave their premises to move cars from 2-3 hour spaces, and employees on set shifts canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave shops unattended to move cars to avoid parking fines. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said several Chelsea traders had raised concerns about the proposed trial parking permit scheme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Chelsea trader parking scheme has been a work in progress and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not over yet,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After our decision at Julyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting to implement a pilot scheme, we had a number of traders raise concerns.â&#x20AC;? Cr Bearsley said she had listened to traders and also spoken to Woolworths, the largest trader affected. The supermarket will require more than the four-permit limit for its staff under the pilot scheme. Traders queried the number of

Plane crash help appreciated CHELSEA police have thanked members of the public for their help and cooperation following this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dramatic plane crash near The Strand (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Plane crash chaosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News 15/10/14). Experienced pilot John Stephenson, 77, died when his homemade light aircraft flew into a laneway, hitting the side of a house. No one else was injured. Investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau have visited the site and taken away parts of the aircraft for testing. Examinations could take up to a year and the cause of the accident may be difficult to assess. Acting Senior Sergeant Damien Grange praised public help in putting out a fire that enveloped the plane, in searching for those that may have been injured, and in erecting barricades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We acknowledge their assistance,â&#x20AC;? he said.

permits to be issued, the location of allocated spaces and the number of available permits. Council had planned to issue a maximum of just 57 all-day parking permits for the trial - despite there currently being 96 all-day parking spaces in the area (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Backlash over parking permitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News 13/8/14). An annual permit fee of $268 per parking space had been mooted. Dan Wilson, owner of a Chelsea media company, had criticised the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial plan. He said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;encouragingâ&#x20AC;? that council was now willing to reconsider the proposal and listen to tradersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I accept thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a fee but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see one or two provided to sole traders at no extra cost since they already pay rates.â&#x20AC;? Mr Wilson said it also made sense for the permit parking spaces to be available at the northern and southern ends of the car park without restrictions over where to park, since this would ensure anyone with a permit could park their vehicle. Councillors unanimously agreed to discuss the trial parking permit scheme at Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting after consulting with traders.

Green wedges divide parties Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LABOR has pledged to stop the â&#x20AC;&#x153;plunderingâ&#x20AC;? of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green wedges if it wins government at next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state election. Opposition planning spokesman Brian Tee addressed the Green Wedges Coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting yesterday at Parliament House and promised that Labor would preserve green wedge boundaries if elected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green wedges are the lungs that keep our city liveable and only Labor will protect them,â&#x20AC;? Mr Tee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Liberals have slowly eaten away at our open landscapes and soon there will be nothing left.â&#x20AC;? In recent months, Planning Minis-

ter Matthew Guy has advised Kingston Council he would consider a proposal to rezone green wedge land between Kingston and Heatherton Rds and Lower Dandenong Rd to a Rural Living Zone with a minimum lot size of 2000 square metres â&#x20AC;&#x153;based on its meritsâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance has disappointed environmental groups, such as the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge, who oppose further development in green wedges. A spokesperson for the minister said the urban growth boundary introduced by Labor in 2003 was â&#x20AC;&#x153;compromised [reduced] by more than 40,000 hectaresâ&#x20AC;? when previous Labor state governments were in power.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coalition government reviewed the urban growth boundary in 2011, fixed up small anomalies and closed the door to any further changes.â&#x20AC;? The spokesperson said Plan Melbourne was the first document to identify a permanent urban growth boundary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Statements that it (an urban growth boundary) is yet to be implemented are inaccurate and misleading,â&#x20AC;? she said. When questioned on Mr Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to consider Kingston Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests to rezone parts of the green wedge, she said the urban growth boundary â&#x20AC;&#x153;will not be extended againâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Kingston is seeking to change

green wedge areas into residential [zones] they need to review their position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The council is better placed to work on its commercial areas to enhance the housing and employment opportunities within areas such as the Mentone, Moorabbin and Cheltenham activity centres.â&#x20AC;? Mr Tee said Labor would â&#x20AC;&#x153;lock downâ&#x20AC;? the boundaries of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green wedges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green wedges were established under a Liberal government in the 1970s, but they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive four more years of the modern Liberal Party.â&#x20AC;? Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green wedges were established by the Hamer government.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 29 October 2014

VANDALISM and fights hit the Frankston line last week and a train seat was slashed amid verbal altercations. Protective services officers did not intervene though because politicians, not commuters, were at the centre of the dispute. Liberal and Labor politicians became embroiled in a bitter political stoush over the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train at Frankston train station on Wednesday morning as both major parties try to gain the upper hand on public transport ahead of next month’s state election. Voters’ gripes with public transport is regarded as a key reason the Coalition state government won marginal bayside seats such as Carrum and Mordialloc from Labor at the 2010 state election. Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder was angered by a suspected act of sabotage before the first X’Trapolis train began its inaugural journey to Frankston. A driver’s seat was slashed the night before the train trip. Metro Trains has vowed to find the perpetrator. Politicians also traded barbs over the rollout of X’Trapolis trains on the Frankston line. Mr Mulder was on board to visit Frankston and spruik the benefits of the new Metro train ahead of next month’s state election as “a further step forward in the Victorian Coalition government’s transformation of commuter travel on the Frankston line under the $115 million Bayside Rail Project.” He said eight new X’Trapolis trains

would run on the Frankston, Werribee and Williamstown lines “in late 2015” after rail infrastructure upgrades to accommodate more of the French-made trains. “X’Trapolis trains include enhanced safety features such as CCTV cameras in every carriage with a direct video link to the train driver,” Mr Mulder said. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said the arrival of the X’Trapolis train on the Frankston line would help improve trains’ punctuality. “The Frankston line’s becoming more and more popular, especially since punctuality has improved from Labor’s woeful 62.6 per cent to over 90 per cent, and we’ve introduced trains every ten minutes,” Ms Wreford said. “We’ve added 191 extra services since 2010, including 20 more peak trains each week, but the line is reaching capacity. The best solution is bigger and more reliable trains.” Labor candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson called last Wednesday’s X’Trapolis launch “a political stunt”. Just one X’Trapolis train per day will run on the Frankston line until the rail network upgrades are finished in 12 months’ time. Metro Trains advised The News that the X’Trapolis train will be in service four times per day on the Frankston line. It will depart Frankston for Melbourne at 6.38am and 8.44am on weekdays and leave Melbourne’s Flinders St Station at 5.30am and 7.35am. The train can travel at speeds of up to 130km/h but will be restricted to a top speed of 90km/h on the Melbourne rail network.

Metro Trains confirmed the maximum speed of the X’Trapolis fleet will not change after the late 2015 rail network upgrades. Mr Richardson said “Denis Napthine’s botched transport scheme won’t take passengers where they want to go” since the Coalition intended to “cut off” Frankston line commuters from being able to take a direct train to Flinders St station. The arrival of the much-vaunted X’Trapolis train on the Frankston line captured media attention with press and TV news crews dispatched from Melbourne to cover Mr Mulder’s press conference at Frankston station. Former Liberal MP Geoff Shaw, now an independent after several disagreements with the Coalition state government, arrived on the Frankston station platform and talked to Mr Mulder after the media conference. Small cardboard replicas of the X’Trapolis train and leaflets promoting the Bayside Rail Project were distributed by Liberal Party staffers. The first edition of a Liberal Party-produced 8-page “community newspaper” called The Southern Express was handed out to passersby. The Liberals intend to distribute the so-called newspaper, which toes the government line on improvements to the Melbourne rail network, at train stations along the Frankston line. The party’s logo is nowhere to be seen in the “newspaper” which also contains crosswords, details about local events and soup recipes alongside state government propaganda pieces spruiking the Coalition’s public

transport pledges in the lead up to the state election. Public Transport Users Association spokesman Daniel Bowen took to his personal blog after the X’Trapolis launch event in Frankston to note Coalition MPs reckoned “the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train in service on the Frankston line was a miraculous huge leap forward for train travellers — a rocket-powered, laser-guided teleportation device that can get you to your destination in seconds.”

If summer means anything it means fish and chips but they too often entail grease overload and lingering self-loathing. Tommy Ruff makes it easy to avoid the oil and the “oh no” with lighter, fresher options and an eat-in restaurant at takeaway prices. The owners are John and Helen Stamoulis, who have wrapped up about a million paper packets of steaming seafood and spud at former South Melbourne institution Clarendon Fish and Chippers and Malvern’s Red Mullet Fishcaf. Their new place is a smart, appealing update on a favourite fast food, with a focus on grilled fish, generous serves and a gentle nudge towards more

sustainable options. Fish is served with either brown rice or salads. Daily specials reflect seasonal catches and popular cuisines like their famous Mexican fish tacos. It doesn’t stop there, anyway: there’s baked whole fish, mussel pots, oysters and skewered garlic prawns, which I would have devoured more eagerly if they’d been deveined. If seafood doesn’t suit, there are burgers and souvlaki – oh, and mostly homemade Greek biscuits and desserts. 574 Main Street, Mordialloc Phone 03 9580 2525 email: eat@tommyruff.com.au www.tommyruff.com.au

Aged care home public open space ‘invader’ Continued from Page 1 Cr Brownlees said council’s hand had been forced due to a federal government requirement that all aged care homes must provide “continuity of care” throughout residents’ lives. The council-run homes are unable to guarantee this due to ageing infrastructure and buildings. He said residents and staff at council’s aged care homes had been advised of the process to move residents to a new aged care facility at Collins St and they are “supportive”. It is likely to take at least three to four years before any new aged care home at Collins St is completed and residents will stay in their existing facilities until then. Cr Geoff Gledhill noted “aged care is providing governments at all levels with some of their more pressing challenges”. He said the Mentone area near Collins St “could do with some more open space and that is an issue that council would address”. However, he said aged care had to be a priority although “people are quite rightly concerned about open space”. Cr West said council was obliged to consider using council-owned land for open space in areas that had less than 2.4 hectares per thousand as open space. “This area is one of the areas that falls severely short of this provision,” she said. “What has been lacking here is any kind of proper debate or any kind of proper community consultation.” Cr West said an aged care home could be built at the Mordialloc Community

Nursing Home’s Remo St site in Mentone instead, but Cr Brownlees said this would not be viable as the Remo St site was not large enough to accommodate a new aged care home. Cr West said not-for-profit aged care providers had advised council that they were prepared to build a 70-bed facility in Remo St and retain Corben House as an aged care home which would provide 116 places in total for “continuity of care” services. “This is the kind of debate we need to have,” she said. Earlier this month, Mr Nevins told The News Corben House had a 97 per cent occupancy rate and “still presents very well” compared to other older buildings at Nixon House and Northcliffe Lodge (‘Council gets out of aged care business’, The News 15/10/14). The proposed new aged care home in Collins St is expected to have 90-120 beds. Cr West failed to have the expressionsof-interest process deferred but did manage to have a later notice of motion accepted for council to seek legal advice on the option of keeping the MCNH and Corben House open as an alternative to a new Collins St aged care facility. Mayor Peulich used his mayoral casting vote to break a four-all deadlock among councillors and back Cr West’s move for council to seek legal advice. Council will still proceed with the EOI process while legal advice is sought. Correction: an earlier version of this article incorrectly stated Cr West’s bid to have council seek legal advice failed.

Fired up: Edithvale firefighters welcome a funding pledge for a new fire station alongside CFA captain Graham Fountain, third from right, opposition emergency services spokesman Wade Noonan and Labor candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson.

New fire station pledge A NEW fire station will be built for the Edithvale CFA if Labor wins next month’s state election. Opposition emergency services spokesman Wade Noonan and Labor candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson visited fireys last week to announce a commitment of $2.5 million towards a new fire station if Labor wins government. Firefighters have been lobbying for the new station which will include extra bays, offices, training facilities and car parking. Edithvale Fire Brigade captain

Graham Fountain said firefighters had been having discussions with both the Labor and Liberal parties about funding for a new station. “The station has served us well but we’re a large active brigade now with more than 80 members and we can’t accommodate the newer larger fire trucks,” Mr Fountain said. “The older facilities are not up to modern standards.” The Edithvale brigade was established in 1969 and the existing station was built by volunteers. The brigade attended 88 fires and

BURDETT’S

explosions, 53 incidents at protected premises and high risk structures, 50 motor vehicle accidents and 18 hazardous material incidents last year. Mr Richardson said the brigade, which increased its membership by 60 per cent last year, is “one of the most active brigades in the state”. “I’m proud that a Labor government will build them a new station,” Mr Richardson said. “Our local firefighters work hard to protect us and they deserve our support.”

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

Parkdale hub heralds new era for families PARKDALE families will benefit from the opening of a $6.87 million family and children’s centre in Warren Rd. It is the first of four community hubs, with others planned for Edithvale, Westall and Carrum. Each centre will make it easier for families to get the support they need from a range of services all under one roof. Children and Early Childhood Development Minister Wendy Lovell, Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford, and Kingston mayor Cr Paul Peulich officially opened the centre last week. Cr Peulich said the centre would take health, education and care services to a new level. “This is the ideal resource for such

a vibrant, growing community because it delivers child care, kindergarten, maternal and child health as well as playgroups, parent groups and other early childhood programs,” he said. “That means young families have a one-stop shop for everything from maternal and child health services to kindergarten and day care. Ms Lovell said the new centre was “great news” for Parkdale families as it would provide important early years’ services to the community for many years to come. Ms Wreford said the centre would provide a 44-place integrated kindergarten, 81 places for the longday-care program, space for parent and playgroups and maternal and child

health services. “Building children’s service on the same site as the Parkdale Secondary College is convenient for families, and allows any learning or development issues to be identified and addressed early,while enabling children to progress smoothly and confidently into school.” Kingston Council paid $5.37 million towards the project, with $1.5 million coming from the state government. Enrolments are now open for childcare and kindergarten at Parkdale as well as in the council’s Edithvale centre, due to open by the end of the year.

Down pat: Premier Denis Napthine and Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford also visited Aspendale North kindergarten and announced $350,000 towards an upgrade.

Keep fishing, not trolling on the bays By Paul "Tracker" Pingiaro THE sensitive new age fisho. Anglers have become very conscious of social media, this is due to both a thirst for information and a driven desire to protect their right to fish. In a world where size matters and numbers are gold, information is key. Fishing reports, photos and shared information see anglers trawl the web in search of the upper hand for vital pieces of the puzzle. The fishing community is aware of the groups that want sustainable recreational fishing outlawed. Anglers posting photos of fish covered in blood or catches of large legal bags are often also berated by their peers as many in the fishing community see such media as forming fuel for the fringe green groups.

Recreational fishing is a multi-billion dollar user pays industry. While it's formally policed, informally the fishing community is its toughest critic. Put simply, those in the fishing community understand their passion is a finite resource requiring proper management. That being said, people should remember that we are a society that bases legal principals on innocence until proven guilty. Accusing people of illegal acts can be defamatory and the fishing community needs to stand as one and not behave like trolls or keyboard warriors. The right to cast a line has become the Mornington Peninsula's favorite recreational pasttime. From September until May more than 10,000 participants, on average, will drown a bait each week. So, keep fishing, keep within the limits,

keep safe and keep it civil. From the bays – Port Phillip and Western Port - at the moment it's snapper, snapper, snapper. The red fever has taken hold and don't expect it to let up until late December. So many anglers are missing the "mark" as not every fish lives in 19-21 metres of water. In fact, the really good bags have come in from 8-18.5 metres. In Port Phillip the snapper are following a gradient, 19m in Mt Martha, 18.5m Mornington, 18m Frankston, 16m Seaford, 10-12m Rickets Point and then 6-10m at Williamstown. It's a typical snapper season, the first for a while. In Western Port it's another typical classic season with good numbers of fish where they should be, including Eagle Rock, Lysaghts and Rhyll.

The water temperature is heating up and so is the bite. The snapper are going well both on the change of tide and run, it's just a matter of putting the right bait in the right place at the right time. While the red fever infects most anglers this time of year, don't forget squid, whiting, gummy shark and flathead are all on the bite as well and are equally responsive to the rise in water temperature.

The advice you gave us certainly made a huge difference and contributed to a quick sale. The marketing strategy was first and the photographs of the house with the description; I am sure, added great appeal to prospective buyers.

Tipper truck drivers spoil cemetery celebration Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au INDUSTRIAL action by Victorian tipper truck drivers threatens to spoil the party for Bunurong Memorial Park following last week’s announcement of a major expansion of the Bangholme cemetery and crematorium, which came with a promise to put the “fun” back into funerals. The Transport Workers Union last week organised strike action and picket lines at worksites across Melbourne, including Bunurong Memorial Park, in support of better pay for tipper truck owner-operators. The memorial park, which was established in 1994 and services Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs including Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, is undergoing a massive expansion program, with 8500 grave sites to be added to the current 2100 graves. The expansion will include the planting of 80,000 native trees and the addition of function rooms, three chapels, a florist, cafe and a children's playground as the memorial park seeks to expand its appeal to include a wide range of social activities, including weddings and conventions. However, the works require thousands of tonnes of soil to be added to the site on Frankston-Dandenong Rd – and that soil needs to be transported by tipper truck operators who claim they are being underpaid and forced to work in unsafe and unfair conditions. On Thursday, Health Minister David Davis joined a ceremony marking the start of the expansion works at Bunurong, while outside, TWU-aligned tipper truck operators picketed the worksite. TWU organiser Luke McCrone said tipper truck owner-drivers were being driven to the wall by inadequate pay which was making their jobs unviable and forcing them to work in unsafe conditions. The drivers own their trucks and are paid by plant hire companies on a per-load basis. But that amount is not enough to cover maintenance and

repayments on their trucks. The union has been lobbying for the past four months for a 10 per cent pay rise on behalf of the drivers but the plant hire companies are yet to agree, despite most acknowledging the need for a review of pay conditions. Mr McCrone said the pay demands by tipper truck drivers were far from excessive and that underpaying owner drivers threatened to create unsafe conditions on worksites and public roads. “They are only asking for what is fair because at the moment, they can’t make ends meet,” Mr McCrone said. “What that means is that drivers may be forced to forgo vital maintenance of their vehicles or put off replacing tyres because they simply can’t afford it, and that’s clearly not a situation anyone wants to see. “Drivers are forced to rush between jobs to get that extra load, which means taking shortcuts and that makes our roads more dangerous for everyone. It’s not a situation these owner drivers want to be in, nor one they should be forced into to simply put food on the table.” Bunurong was among about 40 worksites targeted by the TWU last week, with rolling industrial action tipped to continue throughout this week. Back inside the cemetery, Mr Davis told officials and guests the investment by Bunurong’s operator, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, would transform the memorial park into the largest in Melbourne's south-east and meet the needs of the community for the next 70 years. “The 101-hectare Bunurong Memorial Park currently has about 2100 graves, 260 mausoleum crypts and 1370 cremation memorial spots available but this will expand,” Mr Davis said. “Given that our population continues to increase, it is important that we have the right services and facilities in place, now and in the future.” However, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust CEO Jonathan Tribe said the project was far more than just an expansion, outlining a strategy to reposition the cemetery as a major social hub that would be visited by thousands of people

a day, including wedding parties, sporting groups and “networking breakfast” attendees. “Our vision for Bunurong is to transform a traditional cemetery into a ‘new age’ memorial park visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year,” Mr Tribe said. “We want to demystify cemeteries and get people to regard them as great community assets – green, relaxing places where you can socialise with family and friends. That’s how people in the Victorian era regarded cemeteries. Mr Tribe said master plan included landscaping and design work that would promote a “distinctive Australian theme”, with the regenerated indigenous natural environment to provide habitat for local fauna. The master plan retains the

crematorium, mausoleum and Greek Orthodox Church, while existing “interments” will not to be impacted by the development. The first of five expansion stages, which is schedules to be completed by 2016, will see the construction of “multi-faith meditation rooms” as well as landscaping works. Mr Tribe said SMCT research had shown that in the 1860s, about 5000 people would visit the Melbourne General Cemetery on a summer Sunday, with visitors “picnicking in the gardens and promenade along the wide pathways”. “In the twentieth century, people developed a morbid attitude towards cemeteries,” Mr Tribe said. “Bunurong Memorial Park is a community space that will help change that perception.”

Building foundation for epilepsy help Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LIVING with epilepsy can be a lonely experience but it does not have to be that way. A new support group hopes to establish itself in the south east to bring together families whose loved ones suffer from the at times debilitating neurological disorder. The Epilepsy Foundation, established by a group of concerned parents in 1964 to provide support and information to all Victorians affected by epilepsy, is hosting an information session at Patterson Lakes Community House this week about managing epilepsy. The foundation is aiming to form an epilepsy support group in the south east having successfully hosted such forums for many years in Melbourne and other regions of Victoria. Seaford resident Sue is a nurse who lives with her daughter Rebekah who has epilepsy. She welcomed the Epilepsy Foundation push to bring more support services to Melbourne’s south east suburbs. Sue and Rebekah sometimes travel to Melbourne for group support sessions to meet other families living with epilepsy but Sue said the journey can sometimes be difficult due to “uncertainty and anxiety” surrounding epileptic seizures. “There are no social resources down this way to talk with other people about the challenges of living with epilepsy,” Sue said. “Epilepsy Foundation is unable to put us in direct contact with other families for privacy reasons so a local

epilepsy support group would be great.” Sue said her family “had battled” with epilepsy with 35-year-old Rebekah’s condition “changing in nature over the years” after she was initially diagnosed at the age of 12. Rebekah’s seizures are irregular and unpredictable. “We’re never at ease… she has gone from being completely unconscious in the past which is scary enough to having complex partial seizures,” Sue said. “It has affected her life in many ways, not only has it isolated her from her peers, put a halt to her education, but it has stopped her from doing a lot of activities that others would be able to take in their stride.” Epilepsy Foundation peer support coordinator David Clunn said the volunteer organisation had a range of groups supporting each other around the state, including AWEsome, a support group for adults living with epilepsy. “For some people it can be problematic attending meetings that are not close to home,” Mr Clunn said. “Epilepsy can be really isolating and people can lose confidence so a south east group would be a chance for carers and those who have epilepsy to come along for a chat.” Mr Clunn said Frankston Hospital neurologist and associate professor Ernest Butler will speak at the Patterson Lakes information session “about the diagnosis and management of epilepsy and how it can affect people at any age.” “It can be helpful to hear about the

Determined duo: Rebekah, left, has lived with epilepsy for 23 years and she and her mother Sue, right, hope a new south east support group can help. Picture: Yanni

process after diagnosis,” Mr Clunn said. Sue said Rebekah “has learned to seize the moment and to enjoy life in the best way that she can”. “She has been a wonderful nanny for her six nieces and nephews. She even managed in the midst of all this at times, to work as a volunteer with people with disabilities and this has given her an even great empathy with

others who are in need.” Sue and Rebekah will attend the Patterson Lakes information session to share their journey while coping with epilepsy. “We want to reach out to people with similar stories and to let them know that there is hope along the way,” Sue said. n The Epilepsy Foundation will host an epilepsy information session at

Patterson Lakes Community Centre, 54-70 Thompson Rd, Patterson Lakes at 6.45-8.30pm on Thursday 30 October. Light refreshments provided. Call Juliette at the Epilepsy Foundation on 8809 0672. The Epilepsy Foundation is partly funded by the Victorian Department of Health’s health condition support grant program.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Excitement as Melbourne Cup coming up Compiled by Melissa Hodge MR.W.J.Air, Specialist Optician Collins Street, will be visiting Mornington during November, and may be consulted at “Stella Maris”. Appointments made. *** THE “Herald” last week says Zephuron, the National winner, looks the picture of health. The chestnut has been allotted 11st 51b in the Cup steeplechase, and if present arrangements are adhered to he will meet his engagement in that event. He is likely to be ridden by A Hawkins. Zephuron is such a dashing jumper that it is always worth the money to see him striding over big fences. *** THIS month’s meeting of the Somerville Fruit Growers Association will be held on Monday next, when the following business will be transacted: Report of Conference by Mr F. N. Roper, fixing date of next show, and information re fruit crops. *** THE Hurdle Race at Moonee Valley, on Saturday last, was won by the top weight, Bill Brandon, by a long neck. The winner carried 10st 10lb, and started favorite at 6 to 4 against. The Moonee Valley Cup of 750 sovereigns was won in record time by Gladys, starting at 10 to 1 against. *** ON Tuesday next the Melbourne Cup will be run, for which the judge’s placing may be somewhat as follows: St Carwyne or Uncle Sam 1, Ulva’s

Isle 2, Sylvanmore 3. *** THE hot weather experienced during this week has had the effect of causing snakes to become numerous, and caution will require to be exercised to avoid treading on the possibility of snakes. Rev. Mr Jackson despatched two already this week, in close proximity to his residence. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at. Tanti, on Monday next, when there will be a good yarding of cattle and sheep. *** A CONCERT was held in the Langwarrin Hall on Wednesday last in aid of the shelter shed for the State school. The principal part of the programme was contributed by members of St. Paul Club, Frankston. Cr Lloyd occupied the chair. The following ladies and gentlemen took part; Mrs Dodd, Mrs Ellis, Misses Bowell, Williams, D Stephenson, Messrs C. E, Dodd, J. Y Twyford. The programme was wound up by two farces, entitled “Love, the winner” and “The kiss in the dark” which were well received and heartily applauded. The fund will benefit to the extent of £2 5s. *** THERE is a considerable difference between a musical sound and a noise. A noise is an irregular first fast and then slow kind of thing. Most folk are so built that they

would very much rather have the regular movement – the measured sound. They prefer music to a noise. In the Methodist Church, Frankston, the singing of the choir and congregation is usually good, and a distinct help to the services, but the congregation may look for an improvement in the musical part of the services, for a new organ has been installed. The instrument is a good one, and in the capable hands of Miss Sherlock will be heard to advantage. This young lady was in excellent voice Sunday night last, when she delighted the congregation with the solo, “Nearer my God to Thee.” On Sunday evening next, the Rev. R. Jackson will conduct the service, which will be of a musical character, *** THE adjourned meeting of the Frankston Athletics Club was held in the Mechanics Hall, Frankston on Friday evening last. Present Captain Sherlock (president, in the chair), Dr Maxwell, Mess’s May, Bates, Richardson, Dalman, McComb, Walker, Williams, Young, Wilcox, Chamberlin and Benson. Apologies were received for nonattendance from Dr Plowman, Messrs Picking, Hartland, Jolly, Oates Mosley, Ritchie, and Clements. The resignation of Mr Utber from the committee was accepted with regret, on the motion of Mr Bates, seconded by Mr Richardson. It was unanimously resolved that the sports meeting be held as usual on New Year’s Day, on the motion of Mr Rich-

ardson, seconded by Mr Bates. Captain Sherlock moved and Mr Dalman seconded, that Mr W. W. Young be appointed secretary to the club, in the place of Mr Benson, who had resigned owing to pressure of business, and that Mr Mark Williams’ offer to be assistant-secretary, accepted with thanks carried. On the motion of Mr Williams, seconded by Mr Richardson, it was decided that any profits arising out of the meeting should be donated to the local Patriotic Fund. *** CR Murphy, selected Labor Candidate for Mornington, addressed a public meeting in the Frankston Hall on Tuesday, October 27th, Mr Millard in the chair. The candidate, after some reference to the war and drought and their effect on the people’s minds, is causing considerable apathy in the coming State elections, proceeded to discuss and criticise the failure of the present Victorian Government to meet the necessity of the people in connection with closer settlement. The Government has made a miserable failure of their efforts to settle people on the land and the Closer Settlement Board Administration was, according to the report of the subcommittee appointed by Mr Watt to inquire into the settlers’ grievances, in a hopelessly involved and chaotic condition, and stood condemned by every person in authority, even the chairman of the Board himself, who stated that an apple cart would not be run on such

lines as the Closer Settlement Board was muddling along on. This condition of affairs in the most important department in the Public Service was certainly alarming, and when we consider the number of settlers who had failed to make a living on their holdings and had gone out of existence as factors in wealth production, it can easily be seen the amount of damage done to the State, financially and economically, as well as the severe injury done these settlers who were numbered by the hundred; practical and experienced farmers for the most part, who had been obliged to abandon their allotments after one, two or three years of struggling. At the present time the area unoccupied on estates purchased by the Board was 50,250 acres and valued at £431,000, most of which represented abandoned allotments. The arrears of settlers up to date to the Board amounted to £150,263. *** A MEETING was held in the Tyabb hall on Monday evening last in connection with the Tyabb annual picnic. Cr Alden occupied the chair. It was decided that a grand concert be held to raise funds for prizes, date of which is Friday, December 4th. Full particulars will be advertised later. The picnic will be held in the Tyabb Park on Wednesday, January 6th, 1915. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31 October, 1914.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Insolent, arrogant, incompetent? Awesome! By Stuart McCullough PERHAPS something was lost in translation. Or maybe Russian journalists are simply accustomed to telling people what they really think of them so long as said people are (a) not Vladimir Putin and (b) located somewhere on the other side of the earth. There’s no doubt about it – our Prime Minister has been comprehensively slagged off. In Cyrillic script, no less. Mr. Abbott was accused by Russian newspaper Pravda of ‘insolence, arrogance and incompetence’. It’s heady stuff. Some nations might go completely berserk in response to so energetic an attempt to disparage their leader. Not Australia. Even the most cursory glance at online comments showed many people were either falling over themselves to agree or were concerned that Pravda didn’t go quite far enough. It’s as if people assumed that news of the planned seven dollar Medicare co-payment had finally reached the Kremlin and that this was the inevitable denouncement. If we didn’t previously confuse Russia, our response to their transcontinental sledging has guaranteed their on-going befuddlement. We’re strange in that respect. The right to give our elected officials absolute hell is dear to us. Indeed, lampooning politicians is something of a national sport – it would be unpatriotic not to. We have the absolute freedom to needle anyone in public office. We’re lucky in that regard. In Russia, however, that kind of carry on can earn you a permanent holiday in

PAGE 26

a Siberian Gulag or the ultimate short straw of being Vladimir Putin’s horse. (It’s a little known fact that the Russian oligarch’s favourite quadruped is a former dissident journalist dressed as a horse. Google the footage. That’s why the horse has a mullet.) Pity the folks in the Russian newspaper industry – they probably think they’ve struck a chord. How wrong they are.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 29 October 2014

Fact is, our freedom to criticize the living bejesus out of anyone we like is lost on the folks at Pravda. Maybe this experience will teach them something about us. However, the lessons arising from this fiasco are not confined to the Northern hemisphere. To anyone who heard Pravda’s slurs and thought about grabbing the nearest virtual pitchfork

and joining in, dig a little deeper. Not content with merely giving Mr. Abbott a whack, Pravda went further. Much further. In fact, the same editorial went on to accuse all of us of having a ‘colonial chip’ on our collective shoulder. Fair enough, I suppose. It also referred to NATO as a terrorist organization. So far, so weird. Even if that outlandish claim garnered only a general shrug of the shoulders, it was then that Pravda really went for broke. According to Russia’s leading daily newspaper and premier greyhound racing form guide, we like to ‘crawl up the anatomy’ of our American friends. That is, if we aren’t already too busy sucking up to our colonial masters in England. That, dear Pravda, is a bridge too far. In fact, the words of a former PM spring to mind: fair suck of the sauce bottle. Now it’s clear to me. They’re not just having a crack at our Prime Minister. They’re having a red hot go at all of us. Suddenly a shirt front doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Sure, there’s an awkward touch of, ‘You. Me. Carpark. Now’ about it. But sometimes you’ve got to make a point. So while Tony Abbott is sizing up his Russian counterpart, I’d like to say a few things to Pravda. First of all, no one should attack our elected officials except us. It’s one thing for those of us who live here to tip a bucket on our Prime Minister, but it’s an egregious violation of our sovereign right to sink the slipper when foreign newspapers start to get in on the act. In fact, it’s a blatant attempt to cut our national lunch and I, for one,

won’t stand for it. If I want to refer to Mr. Abbott as a coconut husk with a pair of ears tied on, it’s my right as an Australian to do so. Pravda, on the other hand, should back off. It’s also worth remembering how this thing got started. In an interview with ABC, the Prime Minister dared suggest that Russia should co-operate with the MH17 investigation. There are plenty of times when our officials cause us to be embarrassed. It’s part of the job description. But not this time. This time he was, as it happens, speaking for all of us. We have another great tradition. Whenever someone calls us names, we adopt those insults and wear them as badges of honour. We should proudly claim Pravda’s slings and arrows as our own. So yes, we’re insolent. Yes, we’re arrogant. And YES, we’re incompetent (although you try assembling a flat-pack bookcase with nothing but pictures for instructions and an ‘Allan key’ as see how you get on). Maybe I’m upset over nothing. After all, it’s Pravda. I can always cancel my subscription. If we’d been attacked by the Australian Women’s Weekly or even Best Bets, that would be a worry. But Pravda? I don’t think so. According to the Internet, which is always right about these things, Pravda is the mouthpiece of Vladimir Putin. I, for one, am relieved. Now that his mouthpiece has been located, it can’t be too long before they find his shirt. Here’s hoping. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Mounties’ bowlers need to shine PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MT ELIZA’s bowlers will be hoping to be at the peak of their powers when they take to the field against Sorrento this Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket. After winning the toss and batting at David McFarlin Reserve on Saturday, the Mounties batted first and racked up 9/228 in their 80 overs. Ben Tracy made it two half centuries on the trot for the visitors with 70 runs while Luke Marshall batted higher up the order and contributed 40. Tristan Faithfull scored 30 before he became Nick Davern’s one and only victim and again, Jason Mathers was left with his wicket intact, having scored 44.

AJ King was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers, taking his second six-wicket haul in as many weeks. Whilst it wasn’t as good as his 6/28 against Rye in the last game, 6/53 from 25 overs was still a magnificent performance. Likewise at Lloyd Park, Mornington’s bowlers will need to produce something pretty special to restrict home team Langwarrin. However, despite making just 9/158 from its 80 overs, the Doggies are still in the box seat to win this match. Last season on two separate occasions, Mornington ripped through Langwarrin’s batting line-up. However, on Saturday, it was the Kangas’ bowlers who were in control. The spin twins of Dwayne Doig (2/55) and Jake D’Artri (1/35)

Blues in box seat against Carrum DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS is in the box seat to win its first game of the season in District cricket. Up against Carrum at Roy Dore Reserve, the Blues won the toss and skipper Timmy Birch had little hesitation in batting first. He needed at least one of his openers to score runs and Daniel Esler obliged, scoring 47, while Aaron Wilson played a very important role at three, making 31. Luke Hewitt and Birch have been the backbone of this side for a couple of seasons and they proved to be shining lights again. Hewitt scored 48 and Birch was still there at the end of the innings with an unbeaten 78, having hit 12 fours and a six. Brent McGill played a handy cameo role at the end of the innings, smashing a quick fire 31, which included two fours and two sixes. Liam Dobson was the pick of the Lions’ bowlers with 5/96 from 28 overs. Jackson Fry bowled just eight overs. Baden Powell is up against it in its match against Flinders. Winning the toss and batting first on their home deck, the Braves were bowled out for just 128. In a wonderful display of bowling, Matthew Burns bowled 26 overs, bowled nine maidens and finished with the extraordinary figures of 9/45. The only batsman Burns was unable to get out was Julian Pharaoh, who top scored for the Braves with 45. Max Royal upset Burns’ perfect day by claiming the wicket of Pharaoh, getting him caught behind. In reply, Tim Clarke is already back in the sheds for the Sharks after being run out. Flinders will resume on 1/8. Red Hill’s bowlers have plenty of work to do if they are to get the points against Delacombe Park. However, despite an unbeaten 106 from skipper Simon Dart, 192 doesn’t look enough against the Devils at the small Delacombe ground. Andrew Brown was the next highest scorer for the Hillmen, who

didn’t have any answers for the Devils’ Chris Brittain and Shane Deal. The home side skipper claimed 5/36 while Deal picked-up 3/39. Boneo is in all sorts of trouble yet again, this time against Seaford Tigers. Batting first, the Pandas scored just 9/145 in their 80 overs. Damian Smith came to the crease with the score at 5/81. The Pandas went from 3/80 to 6/81 in a blink of an eye. Smith faced 121 balls for his 35. Glen Petersen opened the batting and made 26 from 103 balls. Tom Burgdorf was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers with 4/36, while David James helped himself to 3/19. Mt Martha has set Seaford 201 for victory after scoring 9/200in their 80 overs at Seaford Reserve. The Reds got some great service from Alex Mason at the top of the order, scoring 37 and Brett Wilkinson strolled to the crease with his side in some trouble at 5/83. He scored 51 and with the support of Brad Schreuder (34), they were able to push the score to a competitive total. Faisal Payenda was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/75 while Mathew Herbert claimed 3/19 from 17 overs. In the final match, Somerville is in a very commanding position against Main Ridge. The Eagles batted first on their home deck and scored 9/251with Leigh Lowry getting amongst the runs with 57 and all-rounder Aaron Kaddatz also getting 51. James Abbott bowled 20 overs for the Cougars and finished with figures of 3/41, including seven maidens. Lachlan Hay and Jason Albress each picked up two wickets.

bowled 50 overs between them and went for just 90 runs. Adrian Mack was also dominant, bowling 13 overs and finishing with 0/12. Brad McDonald was the best of the Mornington batsmen with 55, while Ben Clements made 32. Long Island is just 15 runs shy of winning its match against Moorooduc. The Ducs batted first on Saturday but were overwhelmed by the Islanders’ bowling attack. Bobby Wilson was the only batsman to get going for Moorooduc, scoring 36. Simon Dignan (2/10), Mike Reynolds (2/18), Scott Phillips (2/28) and Andrew Tweddle (2/36) were all on song for the Islanders. In reply, the home side was 4/89 at

stumps, Peter Connell the top scorer with 27. Ross Cordeux and Bobby Wilson had each claimed two wickets for the Ducs. Crib Point has set Pines 204 for victory in their match at Crib Point Reserve. Brad Davidson top scored for the Magpies with 70 while Jack Johnson finished unbeaten on 35 and Henry Dolphins scored 30 at the top of the order. Piners’ coach Ricky Ramsdale was the best of the bowlers with 5/60, while Sam Noden claimed 3/47 in his first senior game for the season. Peninsula Old Boys are in a commanding position in their match against Baxter after scoring 9/228. New skipper Matt Hyden was again

dominant for the Old Boys with 96, while Wade Pelzer scored 29. In the final game, Rye looks set to win its first match of the season against Heatherhill. The Demons batted first at Bruce Park on Saturday and scored an impressive 262. Andrew Hitchener top scored for the Demons with 54, James Crowe opened with 33 and Tommy Baron scored 32 batting at eight. Brad Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 3/69 while Brett Maxwell claimed 2/62. Jake Theobald and Steven O’Donnell each picked-up two wickets. In reply, the Hills are in some early trouble at 1/1.

Frogs’ bats hop to it SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK has set Balnarring a massive challenge in round three of MPCA Sub District cricket. The Frogs batted first on Saturday on their home deck and scored 9/255 in their 80 overs, setting the Saints a massive run chase to claim victory. The home side didn’t start well, losing both openers before the score had reached double figures. However, Matt Whelan and Ralston Keyt were bought together at the crease and shared a 70-run partnership before Whelan went for 35. Keyt went on to top score with 75. Skipper Gerard Clarke contributed 29 and Rob French 26 in the middle order while the tail had some wag, pushing the total beyond 250. Jacob Cook was the best of the Saints’ bowlers with 3/69 from 20 overs while Justin Brown bowled 32 overs and finished with figures of 3/101. Frankston YCW is on the verge of victory against Skye but one can’t help but think that there is still plenty of cricket left in this match. On day one of the clash at Peninsula Reserve, 15 wickets fell for the afternoon. Skye was bowled out for 71 after Paul Bradley (3/6), Andrew Kitson (3/15) and Adam Murihead (3/28) all claimed wickets. The Burras’ skipper Rob Gruar was the only batsman to make an impression with 26. In reply, the Stonecats are 5/98,

Luke Hutchison the saviour with an unbeaten 51. Rosebud bowlers will need to be at their best to defend the 161 against Pearcedale. The evergreen Brad Glenn top scored for the Buds with 52 while Kane Donald was next best with 26. The Dales’ bowlers were in control, Shayne Gillings the pick of them with 4/44, while Chris Dew and Kaine Smith claimed two wickets each. Dromana scored 168 against Carrum Downs but their opponents look to be in the best position to win. Greg McCann top scored for the Hoppers with 45 while coach Mark Whitehead scored 27 and Jedd Savage 26. Shane Walford made it eight wickets for the season for the Cougars with 4/35 from 17 overs. Stuart Swift and Ryan Lynch each picked-up two wickets. In reply, the Cougars are in some early trouble at 2/29. Ballam Park will be looking for two wins on the trot when it defends 176 against Tyabb. Zac Pedderson top scored for the Kinights with 40 on Saturday while Jon Plakourakis scored 39. For the Yabbies, the best of the bowlers were Brodie Bennett, who claimed 4/39 and James Mathieson, who picked up 3/40. In reply, the Knights had six overs at the opposition and had them 1/8 at the close of play. Knights’ skipper Ryan O’Connor has overnight figures of 1/1 from three overs.

Casey pulls the pin, league in crisis FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt THE PCN Sports Alliance, which governs local football on the Mornington Peninsula, is in damage control after the Casey Cardinia Football Netball League sought to withdraw from their management. The nine CCFNL clubs, Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Hampton Park, Narre Warren, Pakenham, ROC and Tooradin, are waiting on an invitation to a special meeting where they will seek exemption from Rule 14.1, which states 12 months’ notice must be given of the club’s intention to resign from the league. The clubs have raised points against PCNSA which include poor

communication, a lack of trust, exorbitant fees, poor strategic direction and a general lack of service and attention. AFL Victoria Country’s have attempted to play mediator between the two parties, however, the CCFNL Clubs are sticking firm. The CCFNL clubs have sent a list of their grievances to both AFL Vic Country and PCNSA, with AFL Vic Country Football Manager Brett Connell and AFL South East Region General Manager Jeremy Bourke meeting last week with PCNSA Chairman Stuart Gilchrist and CEO Jeff Jones to discuss the club’s issues. Regardless of the talks, the clubs want nothing to do with PCNSA in 2015 as they look to break free and

Sudoku and crossword solutions

govern their own competition. It is believed that AFL Vic Country’s intervention has come about after PCNSA raised concerns that the departure of the CCFNL clubs would have a serious impact on its operations going forward. Both Peninsula and Nepean League clubs expressed enormous concerns this season about the management and promotion of the league.

Salary cap and Player Points IN further news, a salary cap and player points system for country and metropolitan football will be implemented across Victoria in 2016. AFL Victoria announced last Wednesday that it would trial a

points system throughout Victoria next year, before implementing it for the 2016 season. The 32 clubs under the management of the PCN Sports Alliance were asked to respond to the proposal mid-year through the league offices but only two clubs responded. AFL Victoria will announce before Christmas where the trials will take place. AFL Victoria general manager Steven Reaper said the input from different football regions would be crucial before final guidelines would be announced. As part of the survey that was filled out by 369 clubs across Victoria, 83 per cent believed whatever changes were made needed

to be implemented statewide. Around half of the clubs surveyed pushed for a statewide salary cap, although AFL Victoria said most of those not pushing for the cap were not opposed to it; rather they remained unsure. “The working party agrees that any salary cap mechanism needs to be tailored for specific regions to incorporate demographic and geographical challenges faced by individual leagues across the state,” Reaper said. “It also understands a salary cap needs to be supported by other measures, such as a player points system or an alternative equalisation provision, to have the desired impact on escalating player payments, and must also be enforceable.”
