Councils bank on expanded port Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council is banking on the $12 billion development of a container port at Hasting to achieve one of its main aims: jobs. Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor said an “impact analysis” of the expanded port by consultants GHD estimated an average 400 jobs being created each year over the next 30 years. “Frankston is strategically position-

ing itself as the government and commerce hub for the Port of Hastings given our proximity, lifestyle attributes and metropolitan activity centre status,” Cr Taylor said. His statement was issued in the same week that Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor criticised a Labor Party proposal to abandon Hastings in favour of building a new port near Geelong. The statements of the two mayors will put Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula councils on a collision course with Labor if it wins the No-

vember state election. However, not all municipalities in the Western Port region are as welcoming of the proposed port with Bass Coast Council sponsoring a five-day workshop looking at alternative scenarios for the future. (‘Workshop maps future without bigger port’, Page 14) The current government has committed $110 million over four for the Port of Hastings Development Authority to plan for an expanded port by the mid2020s. The GHD report relied on by Cr Tay-

lor comes a month after the release of a study by Victoria University researchers Dr Hermione Parsons and Peter Van Duyn. Their paper, Build it – but will they come?, questions the economic viability of a container port at Hastings, suggesting that there is no need for Victoria to have a port capable of receiving the world’s largest container vessels and claiming that their cargoes either originate or are destined for businesses west of Melbourne. Dr Parsons and Mr Van Duyn say the

decision about the location of Victoria’s next major port is too important to be made by politicians. Support for the Port of Hastings by the two mayors was reinforced last week by Ports Minister David Hodgett who said the Build it – but will they come? report contained “many inaccuracies”. “To stick one’s head in the sand and mount arguments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victoria’s economic prospects,” he said.

Young CFA volunteer’s firey outlook SHE might be only 21, but Langwarrin law student Allie Guegan is already something of a veteran in the volunteer firefighting ranks, not only having battled numerous blazes since joining the CFA at the age of just 18, but also representing the group at international conferences. Despite the pressures of studying law full time at university, Ms Guegan said she couldn’t be happier with her decision to follow in her father’s footsteps to serve the community with the Langwarrin CFA unit. She described her two years with the unit as “life changing”. “The feeling you get when you’re able to help someone or even possibly save their life – it’s difficult to put into words,” she said. “Even when we go to simple jobs, it’s nice to know that people really appreciate what we do.” On top of a demanding study schedule for her law degree, regular CFA training sessions and call outs to active fires, Ms Guegan is now expanding her role with the community organisation in the hopes of encouraging other young people to join the volunteer ranks. She has been selected as one of 15 young volunteers from across Australia to attend the International Association for Volunteer Effort conference in Queensland next month. “I’m really excited to have the op-

portunity to share my ideas and brainstorm ways to get more young people involved in volunteering,” she said. The conference, to be held September 15-17, will see the group pitch their ideas to volunteers from around the world as well as Australian representatives in emergency services. “To think our ideas could potentially influence various agencies across Australia and even the world is pretty incredible.” During her time with the brigade Allie has been involved with the Hazelwood Mine fire; she’s been sent out with strike teams; and has attended various house fires in her community. With the encouragement of her Captain Sean Curtin, Allie attended a youth forum earlier this year where she was invited to share her thoughts

and ideas with other young volunteers. “Our job was to come up with ways to better engage young people with emergency service volunteering positions,” she explained. The success of that work caught the attention of the International Association for Volunteer Effort, with the entire group invited to next month’s conference. Ms Guegan is also looking to make the CFA more attractive to and supportive of young volunteers with a plan to create a “youth council” within the organisation. “It would be a place for all young CFA members from across the state to come together to discuss ideas and support each other,” she said.

FRANKSTON’S Chisholm TAFE Institute is on a financial sound footing compared to other further vocational education and training providers in Victoria. A report by the Victorian AuditorGeneral released last week revealed the state’s TAFE sector suffered a $16.2 million net deficit in 2013 and many institutes are in financial strife in the wake of state government funding cuts. Chisholm defied the state-wide trend by reporting a net surplus, before operating costs, of $30.6 million. In 2012 the Frankston TAFE reported a net surplus of $3.5 million before costs. TAFEs collectively generated revenue of $1.08 billion, $89.4 million less than in 2012. Auditor-General John Doyle noted the fall was mainly due to a $102.9 million reduction in state government grants, partially offset by a $7.8 million increase in federal operating grants. In his report, Mr Doyle praised Chisholm for its response to new funding circumstances. The Auditor-General said the Institute had implemented “effective cost control strategies”. Chisholm CEO Maria Peters said the Institute had been proactive in making changes in 2012, when the Coalition state government, then headed by former premier Ted Baillieu, decided to slash about $300 million from TAFEs funding. Ms Peters said the changes Chisholm had made in response to funding cuts had been “difficult” but “necessary”.

“We refocused the organisation… to ensure Chisholm’s long-term success. Through the hard work and dedication of our staff, we have been able to meet out training delivery and financial sustainability objectives.” The Auditor-General noted five TAFEs, including the North Melbourne Institute of TAFE and Melbourne’s William Angliss Institute, were at severe risk of being financially unsustainable. Chisholm’s financial sustainability risk assessment was upgraded from “medium” in 2012 to “low” in 2013. Ms Peters said the Institute board’s expertise had steered Chisholm through a challenging time for the vocational education and training sector. The TAFE sought to increase its industry ties last year, and created a number of new training partnerships. Ms Peters said Chisholm would diversify its revenue streams by seeking out strategic partnerships. “We remain as committed as ever to delivering the best possible training and educational outcomes for our students, our industry clients and the wider community, especially in the south-east,” Ms Peters said. “This will be the foundation for a strong and successful future.” About 220 Chisholm Institute staff members were axed in late 2012 across six campuses and several courses were scrapped. In his report, the Auditor-General said Chisholm was among TAFES “to be commended” for acting “early” to implement “changed course offerings, staff redundancies, campus rationalisation and [reduce] operating costs.”

Precious war medals finally on way home A 91-year-old war widow is set to be reunited with priceless family heirlooms including medals and a Second World War service photograph of her husband thanks to some sharp detective work by Frankston police. A Frankston drug squad detective noticed a display of medals and war memorabilia in the lounge room of a Frankston North house while executing a search warrant on an unrelated matter last week. The framed collection, right, contained a photograph of flight rigger Robert Headlam, his Second World War medals, including an Australia Service Medal, Pacific Star, War Medal and Star, identification tags and Royal Australian Air Force statements of service and discharge. Also in the frame were three medals belonging to Mr Headlam’s father, Guy Headlam. When questioned about the origin of the heirlooms last Wednesday, a resident of the house admitted he was not a relative of Mr Headlam and had acquired the collection years earlier from a deceased estate. Detective Senior Constable Paul Roberts said he realised the collection would hold significant value to Mr Headlam’s family, and vowed to try to find any surviving relatives. While the current owner was not accused of improperly acquiring the collection, he agreed to hand them over if relatives of Mr Headlam could be found. “We made an agreement with the man that if a surviving relative or friend could be found, then the man would hand over the frame containing the medals,” Detective Senior Constable Roberts said. “We made some calls and discovered that the wife of the deceased rigger was living in Queensland.

“She was very relieved we had found her husband’s medals. They meant a lot to her but she’d given up hope of seeing them again.” She told Detective Senior Constable Roberts the medals had been in the care of her nephew but had been lost when he died several years ago. Police contacted Frankston RSL to help reunite Mrs Headlam with the precious heirlooms. Frankston RSL president Brent Clyne said a local freight company, Pack and Send, had agreed to help transport the collection to Mrs Headlam. “It’s her 92nd birthday next week so this will be a fantastic present for her,” Mr Clyne said. “We’ll be working with police and the Pack and Send to make sure they get to her in time.” Chris Brennan

Firefighter fronts up for Labor Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LABOR’S new Frankston candidate Paul Edbrooke says Frankston “is a great place to live and work” but “deserves better representation” than sitting MP Geoff Shaw. Mr Edbrooke told The Times he would push for Frankston to be given a better deal on health, transport and education if elected at November’s state election. The 35-year-old firefighter’s selection as the ALP’s Frankston candidate has been mired in controversy after Mr Edbrooke was given special dispensation to be considered as a candidate despite not being a member of the party. Long-time Labor Party members put their hand up for preselection but missed out to the newcomer. Frankston councillor Colin Hampton and Raelene Kilkenny, mother of Labor’s Carrum candidate Sonya Kilkenny, nominated for preselection. Frankston councillor James Dooley, a member of the Labor Party for more than 20 years, was keen to seek preselection but Labor insiders have told The Times he was advised he would have “no chance” after Mr Edbrooke made his intentions to run known. The party did not hold a rank-andfile vote to let local ALP members have a say in who would replace Helen Constas as Frankston’s hopeful. Ms Constas stepped down as the ALP’s first choice candidate in June after it emerged a bullying claim against her while she was CEO of the Peninsula Community Legal Centre was settled out of court.

Oppostion leader Daniel Andrews said this had not been disclosed to the party during its preselection process. Mr Edbrooke denied he had been approached by the party to stand. “I approached the Labor Party,” he said. “I was brought up with strong Labor values and have helped out voluntarily for many years.” He has been a firefighter based at Frankston Fire Brigade for 13 years and is a United Firefighters Union representative. The Mt Eliza resident admitted he lived “just outside” the electorate he hoped to represent but said he considered himself to be “closer to Frankston” than Mt Eliza. Mr Edbrooke was a school teacher before he joined the fire brigade. He told The Times he worked “on short term contracts” at schools including Frankston Special Developmental School and Mahogany Rise Primary in Frankston North. “As a former teacher I’m disappointed the TAFE system has been ripped apart by the Napthine government,” he said. “It’s important to give hope to kids that they can get the education they need to get a good job.” Ambulance ramping times at Frankston Hospital and public transport including the rejuvenation of Frankston station and its surrounds were also cited as key concerns by Mr Edbrooke. While Labor has lost a candidate and been forced to go through another preselection process, Liberal candidate Sean Armistead has been out and about meeting Frankston residents to

Out-of-this-world experience at McClelland McCLELLAND Sculpture Park, Langwarrin, will host an immersive theatre experience 29 August–7 September, with viewers invited to don headphones and engage with the sculpture-strewn landscape in a novel way. They’ll be taking part in Orbit, the latest sitespecific immersive theatre piece by Wonthaggi artist Nina Barry-Macaulay. It is cutting edge in its use of innovative technology combined with traditional character narratives to create a performance tailored for the park. “McClelland is pleased to host this exciting program that will transform the way in which visitors interact with the sculpture park,” Lyn Johnson, deputy director, said. “The artist explains how the use of immersive theatre techniques in this enchanting and eerie setting creates an awesome audience experience, and is perfect for the futuristic tale of Orbit.” In the experience, the narrator transports the audience to the year 2087 – a time when a lethal biological plague has forced the people of Earth into orbit. Guided by the narrator’s instructions, the audience travels through the park, meeting each scene as it unfolds to the intimate, customised soundtrack. By setting this piece in the future, the audience is invited into a sci-fi dreamland. In addition to the thrilling story, the audience is delivered an otherworldly perspective and may find itself considering what it would be like to lose planet Earth. Barry-Macaulay produces cutting edge innovative works that delve deeply into current issues and philosophies. In this way she aspires to making theatre that is not only entertaining, but also memorable and provocative. Influenced largely by her exposure to contemporary international theatre while living overseas, and her consolidated academic studies in Dramaturgy, she is passionate about creating theatre of its time, for its time. Orbit by Nina Barry-Macaulay is on 29, 30 and 31 August and 5, 6 and 7 September at 5:30pm. The running time is about an hour. The experience is suitable for ages 14 and up. For more information and to book visit anywherefest. Sci-fi dreamland: The future is now for audience members at com Stephen Taylor McClelland exhibition.

Council seeks state nod on rooming house controls Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au CHANGES to legislation governing rooming houses to make local councils the responsible authority and not the state government would be welcomed by Frankston council. Ideally, the changes would give the council greater control over the building, siting, management, licencing and accommodation standards of the contentious premises. But, until the longed-for new rules are brought in – which may not be any time soon – many rooming house operators will continue to fly under the radar offering over-priced accommodation to homeless low-income earners – many with mental issues – whose presence in the neighbourhood often intimidates and infuriates residents. Anecdotal reports of mental health patients being released into Frankston’s low-cost housing because they have nowhere else to go are common. Once there they can be victimised and exploited by greedy landlords. Former mayor Cr Colin Hampton said the council – and the Municipal Association of Victoria – was actively lobbying the government for a greater say in managing rooming houses. “I have advocated since 2009 – and I took it to the state Labor government’s Community Cabinet - that there is a strong case to licence rooming houses

and to make them the responsibility of local government,” he said. “If the council had control we would make on-site and active management a priority and that would get rid of most of the problems.” Cr Hampton said issues with rooming houses were caused by “politicians shirking their responsibilities”. “We used to have [state-run] institutions to care for the unstable and ill-at-ease, such as Ararat and Larundel, but now these people have been pushed out onto the streets to save the government money. “Not that all rooming houses have mentally ill people, but they do have many, and they are mostly victimised and living in squalid conditions.” Cr Glenn Aitken said the council was “united in dealing with the rooming house issue”. He said Frankston had met with nearby councils, including Casey, Dandenong, Kingston and Mornington Peninsula, to “compare notes” on rooming houses and discuss a possible approach to the state government. “We have the power to monitor unruly behaviour but we are hamstrung by imperfect legislation and we are the ones left to clean up the mess left by greedy operators. “We want legislation enacted to allow the council to handle planning applications and aspects of their management, with a failure to comply ensuring their licence is lost … so the operators know they are on notice and

we are watching them. Many are simply hogs at the trough.” Deputy mayor Cr Rebekah Spelman said the community “would be a lot better off” if the council had the power to licence rooming houses – rather than the state government. “At the moment we are pretty powerless,” she said, conceding that, while Frankston North had an oversupply of rooming houses “they have to go somewhere”. Operators can use loopholes in the law to set up shop and exploit the present high demand for beds by building houses with fewer than 10 bedrooms which only require a building permit and not a complicated planning permit for houses with more bedrooms. A petition calling for a review of a house at 17 Finlay St and “associated issues” was considered by councillors at their last meeting – but under current rules there is little they can do. The mayor Cr Darrel Taylor said council officers had spoken to the owners and managers of the building who said it would be used by professionals and students. This information has been passed on to the petitioners. “The legislation does not require onsite management of rooming houses, licensing or accommodation standards to ensure adequate living standards for residents and minimal impact on neighbours,” he said. “Changes to legislation requiring owners to be more accountable would be welcomed by local government.”

Fatal crash: An 80-year-old died after his car with hit by a garbage truck outside a major shopping centre in Carrum Down on Friday 1 August. Picture: Gary Sissons

Elderly driver dies after crash with garbage truck AN elderly Carrum Downs man died after his car was hit by a garbage truck on Hall Rd. The 80-year-old man was attempting to enter the car park of the Carrum Downs Regional shopping centre about 2.30pm on Friday 1 August when he crossed into the path of the oncoming garbage truck. Police said the man had been driving east on Hall Rd before attempting to turn right into the shopping centre entrance at the corner of Cadles Rd. The garbage truck, which was travelling in the west-bound lane, was unable to stop in time and hit the man’s Hyundai sedan on the passenger’s side. The intersection is controlled by traffic lights, however police said the status of the lights at the time of the crash was being investigated. Paramedics treated the man at the crash site before transporting him by ambulance to The Alfred hospital. He

Major accident investigation unit detectives are looking into the cause of the crash and have appealed for any witnesses to contract Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.  A 38-year-old Patterson Lakes man last week died in hospital after being hit by a car in Rowville on 31 July. The man had been crossing Stud Rd on foot at a pedestrian crossing when he was struck by a car turning left from Turramurra Drive around 6.35am. He was taken to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition but died three days later. The driver of the car, a 62-year-old woman from Rowville, was interviewed by police and is expected to be charged with careless driving and failure to give way.

‘Put Frankston first to last’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au PUBLIC transport woes in Frankston and across the peninsula were top of the agenda at a Victoria First forum hosted by Labor MP Kelvin Thomson last weekend. The federal member for Wills in Melbourne’s inner north launched Victoria First late last year as a way to argue Victoria’s “rapid population growth” should be halted to “safeguard and enhance Victoria’s way of life”. The not-for-profit non-government organisation wants immigration to Australia capped “to the levels of the 1980s and 1990s”, a net gain of 70,000 instead of about 200,000 annually. Mr Thomson said Victoria First believed in a multi-racial society and its views on immigration were not racist or xenophobic, but a means of protecting Victoria’s environment and liveability for future generations. “We’re under people and population pressure no matter where it comes from,” he said. Mr Thomson said about 60 people attended Victoria First’s public meeting at Frankston Saving Club last Saturday, 2 August. Public transport advocate Ian Hundley was guest speaker. He outlined ways “the transport crisis in the Frankston area” negatively impacted on the peninsula’s economy, ecology and social cohesion. Mr Hundley lamented successive state governments’ focus on roads projects, rather than public transport improvements which would benefit Frankston commuters travelling to

Melbourne for work. He said census figures showed 60,000 Frankston residents travel to Melbourne each workday and “a large proportion” would travel by train. Mr Hundley noted only “about 0.6 per cent” of Frankston residents who travel to work would use the proposed Coalition state government backed East West Link, set to cost between $6-8 billion. “According to [Premier] Denis Napthine, the East West Link is supposed to solve all our problems, with the possible exception of the common cold,” Mr Hundley said. “The reality is, however, that there will be nothing left for the timely introduction of necessary transport projects in Frankston or elsewhere if the East West Link goes ahead.” Mr Hundley also criticised Mr Thomson’s party, saying the state Labor op-

position had declared the East West Link “a dud project” but had pledged to honour signed contracts if it won government at November’s state election. “The Labor Party needs to have a hard look at itself and decide whether they are prepared to govern in the interests of the state or a select group of contractors.” Mr Thomson said public transport in Frankston and the peninsula was just one subject discussed at the meeting. He said the majority of attendees opposed the planned container port at Hastings and were not keen on the Bay West in Geelong alternative favoured by Labor either. “Both options would involve heavy dredging of Port Phillip,” Mr Thomson said. “A ‘super’ container port in northern Australia would be preferable from an environment perspective. Smaller ships could then transport cargo from there to existing ports around Australia.” Victoria First noted Frankston’s population has been growing at an average of 1.46 per cent annually since 2003, adding an extra 16,436 residents over 10 years. The city’s current 134,924 population is predicted to reach 152,494 by 2036. Mr Thomson said this would place pressure on housing availability, prices, traffic and public services. “The most successful and prosperous countries such as Finland, Switzerland and Denmark are those who control population growth,” he said. “Frankston can become a more sustainable community by resisting population growth.”

Spreading a climate of change Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FORMER prime minister Kevin Rudd called it “the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time” but failed to meet the challenge, avoiding the reality of dealing with climate change for political reasons. However, tackling climate change is something five local climate reality ambassadors are determined to achieve, both by their day-to-day actions in living a sustainable lifestyle and by spreading the word that time is fast running out for governments to act to make a real difference before it is too late. Former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Reade Smith, South East Councils Climate Change Alliance executive officer Greg Hunt (not the federal environment minister and Flinders MP), wildlife conservationist Sarah Beebe and associate nurse manager Sharon Kellett have signed up to join a green army with a difference: the Climate Reality Leadership Corps. The four attended an extensive training session last month presented by former US vice-president Al Gore in Melbourne. Mr Gore narrated the 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth which brought the dangers the world faces from climate change to widespread attention. He has dedicated his post-political life to lobbying governments around the world to reduce carbon emissions to tackle climate change. The four climate reality ambassadors are available to give presentations on how a sustainable future can still be attained by making a global shift from

dirty fossil fuels to clean, renewable energies like solar and wind. Ms Kellett, a 51-year-old mother of three, said she took governments’ inaction on climate change “personally.” “As a mother I make no apology in taking this very personally,” she said. “If it is the business of future generations, then it is my business too.” “The training we received with the Climate Reality Project was anything but doomsday. It informed us regarding the many ways that we can address climate change, both as global humanity and as Australians.” Mr Hunt is less than impressed with ‘the other’ Greg Hunt’s efforts as environment minister in the Abbott government. He said political compromises had stopped Australia leading the way in replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. “I’m always a bit disappointed in the lack of action from the federal government,” he said. He criticised minister Hunt’s direct action policy as “ineffective” and said Australia’s carbon price “which had been working” had been axed for “political reasons”. “Now it’s gone it’ll take a lot more work to get it back up again.” Mr Hunt said many Australians tended to have a “parochial view” on climate change and perhaps weren’t aware of the havoc being wreaked elsewhere in the world, such as the floods in Europe, due to the devastating effects of climate change. He said the Climate Reality Leadership Corps training conducted by Mr Gore was “invaluable” and would help

Bands do battle SIX emerging local bands will contest the Battle of the Bands final at 6pm on Saturday at Frankston Mechanics Institute.

him spread the message that people had to now force their elected representatives to do something to lower harmful carbon emissions. He said he attended the training in his own time and the South East Councils Climate Change Alliance does not engage in the political process. Mr Smith is no stranger to politics. The Tyabb resident stood against Flinders MP Greg Hunt in the 2010 federal election for Family First and directed preferences to the environment minister. “I don’t feel good about that anymore,” he told The News. “As far as I’m concerned, Mr Hunt has shown himself to be more a minister of mining than an environment minister.” The former Mornington Peninsula

Shire councillor said he had always had an interest in combatting climate change and applied to attend Mr Gore’s Melbourne training session to further his knowledge and help spread the message that time is rapidly running out to take positive action. Mr Smith quit Family First because the party did not recognise climate change was human induced. He will stand as a candidate for the upper house seat of Eastern Victoria for the newly formed Mutual Party at November’s state election. Organisations can book climate reality ambassadors to present a talk on “the reality of climate change”. Visit www.climaterealityproject.org to book a presentation.

CONSERVATION-minded residents of Langwarrin and Frankston South are being invited to join an expanded Landcare group focusing on the Watson Creek catchment area. With no active Landcare groups in the Langwarrin and Frankston South region despite significant swathes of bushland, a decision has been made to expand the Watson Creek Catchment Group to cover the area. Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network facilitator Jacqui Salter said the expanded group would provide residents within the creek’s catchment area the opportunity to help protect and regenerate precious natural assets. “Despite containing vital peri-urban agricultural enterprises and significant patches of remnant bushland, there are currently no active Landcare groups in this region,” Ms Salter said. “Since these areas are part of the Watson Creek catchment, it makes sense for residents in these areas to be invited to join the WCCG.” In addition to Langwarrin and Frankston South, the group’s area of care is being expanded to include Pearcedale and Cranbourne, which also fall with the Watson Creek catchment area. Land management initiatives focusing on Watson Creek, which has been identified as one of the state’s dirtiest waterways, will ultimately benefit Western Port Bay, into which the waterway flows. The Watson Creek Catchment Group, which was established earlier this year, has just received a $10,000 state government grant to restore native flora and enhance the quality of water runoff on private properties along the waterway. The creek flows from its headwaters in Frankston South through Baxter, Somerville and

Tyabb and into Yaringa Marine National Park in Western Port, which is part of a Ramsar-listed wetland that provides important food and habitat for migratory birds and is home to internationally significant mangrove communities, extensive saltmarsh habitats as well as seagrass and mudflat communities. Dolphin Research Institute director Jeff Weir stressed the importance of ensuring runoff to Western Port is healthy. “Watson Creek empties into Yaringa Marine National Park, a remarkable ecosystem,” he said. “It’s just like being in Melbourne's very own Kakadu, surrounded by massive stands of mangroves. What we have is too precious to lose." A recent Somerville bushwalk led by local fauna ecologist Mal Legg revealed the importance of maintaining and enhancing native vegetation and controlling weeds and pests in order to ensure the survival of indigenous animals in the north east Mornington Peninsula, including possums, bats, koalas, frogs, owls, wallabies and migratory birds. The group’s secretary, Joyce Welsh, is keen to meet fellow residents in the Langwarrin area and surrounds who are interested in sustainable land management. “Landcare is a great way for people to meet like-minded people and make a positive contribution to the health of your area,” she said. A meeting for residents interested in joining the Watson Creek Catchment Group is taking place at 7pm at the Langwarrin Community Centre on Wednesday 13 August. To confirm attendane, contact Landcare Facilitator Jacqui Salter by email at Jacqueline.salter@mornpen. vic.gov.au or call 0408 213 079. Chris Brennan

Open arms: Volunteers working to the restore the health of Watson Creek are inviting residents of Langwarrin and Frankston South to join them in an expanded Landcare group.

Kits to wipe out graffiti PORTABLE graffiti removal kits have given six community and sporting groups the ability to clean up quickly after vandal attacks. The kits were handed over at Frankston Pines Soccer Club last month by crime prevention minister, Edward O’Donohue. “Illegal and unsightly graffiti is a blight on the local streetscape and can make people feel less safe in their own community,” Mr O’Donohue said. “Portable graffiti removal systems are valuable assets in the ongoing fight as they help community members remove graffiti as quickly as possible after it appears.” The graffiti removal kits were also given to the Seaford Tigers Football Club, Carrum Downs Junior Football Club, Langwarrin Football Club, Groundswell Community Garden and the Frankston Pigeon Club. The kits include a 120-litre wheelie bin, highpressure water system, graffiti removal products

and personal protective equipment. Frankston Council has received $66,000 in grants to erase graffiti as well as the work of supervised teams of offenders on community orders.

Festival planning ORGANISERS of next year’s Pines Pride Festival are seeking ideas, enthusiasm and participation. An open invitation has been made for Frankston North residents, teachers, students (16 and older), workers, retirees, and contributors from the wider Frankston area to attend the initial committee meeting for our 2015 festival. The meeting will be held 5pm-6pm Thursday 21 August, Frankston Forest Baptist Church hall, cnr Monterey Boulevard and Moreton St, Frankston North.

High hopes: David Andersen, at rear, second from left, and Ryan Broekhoff, middle, second from left, and their Boomers teammates are on their way to Spain.

World cup calls for star basketballers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON basketballers David Andersen and Ryan Broekhoff have been selected to play in the 12-man Australian team at the FIBA World Cup in Spain. The players were farewelled last Monday before heading off on the Boomers’ pretournament tour of Europe. The team was announced on 28 July and will compete from 30 August-14 September. Their selection followed a week of internal trialling at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra where both Andersen, 34, and Broekhoff, 23, trained as teenagers. The talented pair began as five-year-olds with Frankston Basketball in introductory programs then played in the domestic competition. They were members of Frankston Basketball’s junior representative program: the Frankston Blues. From there, they took similar paths through state representative teams and then into the Australian Institute of Sport and national junior representative teams. Boomers head coach Andrej Lemanis said the challenge of reducing 17 into 12 was made all the more difficult because of the performance of all the players in camp. “The selection process

has been vigorous and thorough,” he said. “The really positive news for Australian basketball is that we have a depth of talent available now which made the final selection process challenging. “I have always said that difficult decisions would need to be made and it was very tough settling on the final squad, which is tremendous credit to all who competed at the camp.” With his team selected, Lemanis’s focus now turns to the Boomers’ European preparation. “I look forward to building together over the next month,” he said. Frankston Basketball president Rob Little says Andersen’s and Broekhoff’s selection was an historic moment for the Frankston and District Basketball Association which he said was the premier sporting association on the Mornington Peninsula with more than 13,000 participants. “To have two athletes selected out of the 12-member team who came through the same basketball association is phenomenal,” he said. Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor was at the players’ send-off said council was working with the association to expand its stadium to cater for more than 6000 members. “We are hoping the state government will commit funding so the project can go ahead,” Cr Taylor said.

Councils back port expansion Continued from Page 1

Mr Hodgett said Victoria needed the “sort of visionary thinking” of former Victorian premier Sir Henry Bolte who “zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s”. At the time, Sir Henry envisaged Western Port as being the “Ruhr of the south” – emulating Germany’s massive industrial centre - and said petrochemical companies facing tough environmental laws in Europe should be invited to operate at Hastings. When asked about atmospheric pollution, Sir Henry replied: “it’ll blow away”. Cr Taylor said the GHD report indicated that the benefit to the region would be $60 million a year during the construction phase and $1 billion a year once fully operational. The report was prepared for a consortium of 10 local government authorities including Frankston, the Southern Melbourne and Gippsland Regional Development Australia (RDA) committees, United Energy and Connect East. “The Port of Hastings development provides an enormous opportunity to support and expand our local economy and job supply,” Cr Taylor said. “We have already approved first-class office facilities perfectly suited to government departments and commercial entities with linkages to the port.” Cr Taylor said the GHD study found that construction of the container port at Hastings would mean a “beneficial economic impact of an aver-

age of $60 million a year in gross regional product” over 30 years. This would eventually lead to an extra 5700 jobs by the mid-2030s and 15,200 jobs by the early 2050s. Cr Celi dubbed the Labor Party plan for a new container port near Geelong “fundamentally flawed”. “The proposal to build an eight kilometre-long pier is problematic enough, but when you consider the amount of dredging that would be required to accommodate the larger vessels, it just doesn’t stack up – particularly when Hastings is already a natural deep water port,” Cr Celi said. Before Cr Celi’s endorsement of expanding the Port of Hastings, the shire’s position had been to give “in principle” support. “However, this support has been conditional on satisfactory resolution of the issues raised by the community, particularly ensuring that Hastings is further developed as an environmentally sustainable ‘green port’, and that the necessary transport infrastructure is provided ahead of demand to avoid adverse traffic and rail transport impacts on the shire’s townships,” officers stated in a report to councillors last week. “The business case should also clearly identify the economic benefits to the Shire and the south east region.” The state government has not released cost estimates of upgrading rail and road links to service the new port.

Sister’s gift a lifesaver for Darren Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A SISTER’S generous gift is a potential lifesaver for Langwarrin man Darren Puleio. She is giving him one of her kidneys. Simone Lovitt, 42, of Lochiel Av, Edithvale, will donate the organ at The Alfred Hospital on 1 September in what Mr Puleio describes as “an awesome event”. The 44-year-old 183cm locksmith, who admits to previously being an overweight 150kg – and a heavy smoker - is now a much trimmer 112kg and is off the fags. He watches what he eats and “thinks healthy”. Mr Puleio’s condition became noticeable in August 2012. He sought medical treatment for breathing difficulties - which he thought at the time “could be asthma” - as well as high blood pressure. But the pills he was prescribed caused an allergic reaction and excessive swelling and he went back for further tests. They rang alarm bells with his doctor whose message was succinct: “You’d better come in.” He did, and was sent straight to the Frankston Hospital with renal failure. There, tablets he was given to urinate caused Mr Puleio to lose 13kg of excessive fluid in four days. Scans, blood tests and an ultrasound found that both his kidneys had “gone”. Now he’s on a dialysis machine for five hours every second day and life’s lost a bit of its shine. The brother and sister – adopted as babies by their common law parents from different biological parents – are a good medical match with a series of tests and studies proving their compatibility. They share the same O

Solar spotlight CANDIDATES in the November state election and Victorian senators Ricky Muir and John Madigan are being asked to “stand up” for solar power. “In a country with so much sun, clean, affordable energy should be accessible to everyone,” Sasha Mainsbridge said. Ms Mainsbridge, who describes herself as “solar owner, advocate for social justice issues and volunteer for Environment Victoria”, wants state candidates from Mordialloc to Portsea and the two senators to give their views on solar power at her “cuppa sunshine” event on Tuesday 19 August at the Frankston Enviro Hub, 8/14 Wells St. “Cuppa Sunshine is an initiative of Solar Citizens, an independent, community-based organisation bringing together millions of solar owners and supporters to grow and protect solar in Australia,” Ms Mainsbridge said. “Many more families want to make the move to solar and any changes to the renewable energy target will make that move harder.” For details call Ms Mainsbridge on 0422 641 474 or email sashamainsbridge@live.com

positive blood group and the same tissue typing. Their blood cells “mix” well together and Ms Lovitt’s renal function is normal. Before being matched with his sister, Mr Puleio, of Robinsons Rd, received kidney offers from other potential donors – one his mother-in-law which, despite being generous, proved unsuitable. “I was pretty lucky to have five possible donors willing to help me,” he said. “They didn’t work out but it was good to know I had their support.”

Neither is taking their medical journey lightly. Mr Puleio said 95 per cent of kidney donor operations were successful, while Ms Lovitt pointed out that every anaesthetic posed dangers but that she was happy to take the risk “for someone I love”. The four-hour operation will “give him the quality of life he deserves,” she said. Afterwards, Mr Puleio will go on anti-rejection drugs and make sure he wears sunscreen outdoors as the drugs

he’s been prescribed make him more susceptible to skin cancer. At the same time, Ms Lovitt – a sales representative at Borthwick Food Services, Mulgrave, will take a month off work to recover. “My employer has been so generous and we could not have done this without their help and assistance. They have been amazing,” she said. Now, grateful for his sister’s “huge sacrifice”, her brother eagerly awaits the operation that will turn his life around.

Workshop maps future without bigger port By Jeff Nottle* WORLD leading visionaries, academics, key regional decision makers and community group representatives developed frameworks for exciting and plausible futures for the Western Port region at a workshop on Phillip Island. We have now seen comprehensive planning and visioning undertaken outside political divides and not limited to input from state bureaucrats and the hopes of politicians seeking to be elected. This is where true community strategic planning and thinking needs to commence and we now have well considered visions for the Western Port region. The five-day workshop was organised by the Australian National University, Preserve Western Port Action Group, Victorian National Parks Association, with the support of Bass Coast Council, The scenario-planning workshop explored what Western Port may look and feel like in 2040 based on other scenario planning exercises in various contexts held around the world in developing and communicating a shared vision. Participants from more than 27 organisations included professors, strategic planners, scientists, businesses, councillors and PhD students from the Australian National University They developed and explored four plausible futures for Western Port considering financial, sustainable and creative futures. These four scenarios were developed according to the two key

uncertainties that are likely to shape the future of Western Port. The intersection of these two key uncertainties created four scenarios that were explored by groups of participants in an effort to understand the implications for Western Port. The first uncertainty considered how Western Port, as a region, determines its future by either following conven-

tional economic development policies or shifting to United Nations sustainable development based policies that will preserve this relatively undeveloped and unique region. The planned international mega container port at Hasting was an example of a regional policy that pursues continued economic growth at the potential expense of the environment

and other sectors of the economy. The second uncertainty considered likely to shape the future is whether the world as a whole shifts from its current pursuance of economic growth beyond what is considered to be the planet’s ability to support this growth and instead switches tack towards development within these planetary boundaries.

Global action on climate change that attempts to keep climate change within two degrees Celsius was considered by the group to be an example of such action. Professor Robert Costanza, one of the workshop conveners: “Developing this vision is essential for ensuring that we consider all the possibilities for Western Port and generating a broad discussion of what kind of future people want”. Prof Costanza said the process was essential as “it is only through communication and development of shared visions that we can hope to achieve them”. The Victorian National Parks Association’s Simon Branigan saw the workshop as a “fantastic opportunity to bring together a diverse range of stakeholders, to think outside of the box and come up scenarios of what the Western Port region could look like in 2040”. The organisers and participants of the workshop plan to communicate the scenarios with the public in an effort to generate further discussion that will lead to obtaining a shared vision for Western Port. The participants passed a motion of support to recommend that the Bass Coast Shire Council consider seeking funding to develop and implement a communications and engagement plan for the final report.

FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD: Ready to answer the financial questions of Frankston are Phil Elliott and Tanya Crawley of Yellow Brick Road, Frankston

Ready to answer your questions FRANKSTON and bayside residents are being challenged to become the most financially fit suburb in Australia with the launch of Yellow Brick Road Frankston’s free ‘Ask My Advice Day’, to be held at 443 Nepean Highway, Frankston this Saturday. The day is part of a nationwide initiative to help Australians take control of their financial health, with Frankston one of almost 70 locations across the country taking part in the program. Aimed to help give locals practical advice

to get ahead financially, Phil Elliott, from Yellow Brick Road Frankston, said his team is on a mission to help local residents achieve their financial goals. “Everyone deserves the opportunity to own their own home and retire comfortably. With a few simple tools, we can teach people good financial practices that they can both implement now and for the long term.” Mr Elliott said. “Many people don’t realise that even dropping a fraction of a percentage on their

home loan interest rate can save them tens of thousands over the loan term”. Frankston and Bayside residents with questions can register for a free ‘Ask My Advice Day’ appointment online at www.ybr.com.au/promotions/amad or contact credit manager Tanya Crawley on 9783 3000 or email frankston@ybr.com.au

PROPERTY developers are being warned against using trusts to return the proceeds from property developments as capital gains instead of income. “We have begun auditing property developers who are carrying out activities which conflict with their stated purpose of capital investment,” deputy commissioner Tim Dyce said. “A growing number of property developers are using trusts to suggest a development is a capital asset to generate rental income and claim the 50 per cent capital gains discount. “The ATO has already raised millions in adjustments from people who exploit the system and our current compliance activity shows

we are likely to make many more adjustments in the coming months. “Our enquiries indicate that these arrangements are contrived and some property developers are inappropriately claiming capital gains tax concessions. Property developers should return the income from developments to ensure they are complying with the law,” Mr Dyce said. Penalties of up to 75 per cent of the tax avoided can apply to those found to be deliberately using special purpose trusts to mischaracterise the proceeds of property developments. Information on amending a tax return or activity statement can be found at ato.gov.au or by calling the ATO on 13 28 61.

YOU are likely to be entering into a profit-making activity if you acquire a property with the intention of renovating and selling it at a profit, and go about it in a business-like way. This could have implications for the way the profit is treated for tax purposes (income or capital), and for GST. If you build new residential premises for sale you can claim GST credits for the construction and any purchases you make related

to the sale of the premises (subject to the normal rules on GST credits) you are liable for GST on the sale. GST does not apply to the sale of residential premises that have been sold before. From 1 July 2012, businesses in the building and construction industry need to report to the ATO each year the total payments they make to each contractor for building and construction services. These payments are reported to the ATO on the taxable payments annual report.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Shire council makes a war statement Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE War. At the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council, the acting president (Cr Plowman) on the suggestion of Cr Ritchie, spoke with reference to the great crisis in Europe. He said most people recognised the extreme gravity of the situation. The crisis was most grave, and at the present juncture one did not know what might occur. In land battles there could be some sort of prediction, and if a serious disaster occurred to the British fleet, we may have war at our very doors. It behoved them all to be resolute, but not vainglorious. To do their duties as usual, but to feel down in their hearts that if the country called them in any capacity whatsoever, they would respond to the call, and undergo any sacrifice in the interest and defence of their country. (Applause). He himself was, perhaps, too old to go on active service, but all should do their up most to defend our glorious heritage, Australia Felix, and if war came near, they should prepare themselves to assist their country. He felt his words were halting and inadequate, but they were from the soul. No matter what the issue, they would undergo any sacrifice to give a helping hand. He deplored the horrible necessity of war but he felt that in this instance it was a case of necessity. Unless Britain had acted as it did, there would no longer be any strength

in, or respect of, treaties, and if a nation sacrifices her honour as a nation, then every individual in that nation must also have a lower standard of honour. They should give their fullest support to Australia Felix and the Mother Country, who has borne the enormous burden of Empire until recently with practically no assistance. (Applause). Cr Keast said that a most pleasing feature was the fact that their brothers in Ireland, who lately had been trying to get at one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throats, had I now sunk their differences, and stand side by side to help the Mother Country. All present then joined in, singing the National Anthem. *** OWING to pressure on our space we have been compelled to hold over till next issue the report of political meeting, a letter giving the views of a Melbourne visitor on last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football match, notes from several correspondents, and other interesting items. *** MISS Pearl Smith will recite at the Frankston Choral Concert. *** MISS Eva Young, fraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Glasgaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, humorous reciter is awfuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Scotch, and will recite â&#x20AC;&#x153; Wee Tamie Pattersonâ&#x20AC;? at the Frankston Choral Concert. *** THE quality of the work done by Mr Earp is proved by the fact that the Festival Choir sing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hiawathaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Melbourne Town Hall on Monday even-

ing, and the Frankston Choral Society sing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hiawatha, at the Mechanicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Wednesday next. *** IN spite of his heavy burden of 11s, 1lb, Zephuron ran a splendid race over the long journey of four miles in the Australian Steeple chase of 1750 sovs at Caulfield on Saturday last. The jockey (A. Hawkins) who was substituted for J. P. Edwards, Zephuronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usual pilot, made a vain effort to hold the chestnut back to his field in the early stages of the race, and possibly the gelding fighting so desperately for his head cost him the race, for jumping magnificently (according to the city papers) Zephuron led from barrier rise to within 500 yards of the winning post. At this point Zephuron was caught by Guncap, and although the gelding responded gamely to the calls of his rider, the weight told, and he could get no nearer than third, which carried 150 sovs as prize money. *** AFTER the ordinary business had been concluded at the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council, Cr Hodgins, who has held the position of president for the past term, handed in his resignation, which was necessary owing to his departure from the district for Tynong. In doing so Cr Hodgins thanked the Councillors for the support they had given him while president. He assured them that it was a hard wrench, not so much at leaving the work, but because he was leaving the Councillors.

RED HOT DEAL!

They had sat there for years, and he did not think they had a squabble. There had been a few mild hints, but nothing serious. He had accepted an engagement in a town too far away to allow him to attend to his duties as a Councillor, and he felt that when any councillor found that he could not give enough time to council matters he should resign. He was sorry that Crs Griffeth and Murray were not present, so that he could say goodbye to them, and he hoped Cr Griffeth would soon be strong again. He hoped they would all meet again, and if ever at Tynong, they could be sure of a most hearty welcome. Cr Hodgins then left his seat, which was taken by Cr Plowman. Cr Plowman moved that the resignation be accepted with the greatest possible regret. Cr Hodgins had been a Councillor who had attended to his duties in an exemplary way, and as a novice, practically, in council matters, he could speak as others could not of the help he had received from their worthy president of the past year. He deplored his loss as a Councillor, and hoped he would be successful in the future. Cr Keast said he seconded the motion most regretfully. Cr Hodgins had been the best president he had ever sat under - the only one (laughter). Cr Alden said that he was perfectly sure that he did not get on any other way but first rate with Cr Hodgins. He hoped that his new business would prove satisfactory, and that Mr and Mrs Hodgins would enjoy the best of

To thine own selfie be true

By Stuart McCullough IT’S over. The battle between modesty and narcissism has ended with the latter emerging victorious, fists bloodied but raised and clutching a mobile phone. Doubtless, Narcissus will shortly be posting photos of himself, a triumphant grin slathered across his stupid face, bragging to all of cyberspace about how he vanquished his foe once and for all. Forget about holding anything back or leaving something to the imagination. Give up altogether on wanting to foster a little mystery. The information superhighway is much like an international airport – everything, it seems, must be declared. And in a world of over-sharing, nothing strips away any remaining vestige of mystique quite like a ‘selfie’. Let’s start with the word ‘selfie’. It sounds a lot like ‘wedgie’ and I suspect the similarities don’t end there. Photography is an extraordinary art form. But now, through sheer profligacy, if a picture says a thousand words, at least nine hundred and fifty of them are ‘why?’ The ruthless rise of the selfie has graduated from harmless distraction to the very thing that may bring human civilisation as we know it to come to an end (possibly). It’s as though the great cosmic evolutionary hot rod has been slammed into reverse. Rather than going forwards, the emergence of the selfie seems to be incontrovertible evidence that we, as a species, if not a pool of potential reality television contestants, are heading backwards.

It’s devolution, pure and simple. For those unfamiliar with the concept, devolution (or, if you prefer, ‘deevolution’) is the process by which species regress into more primitive forms. The concept was set out in full in Charles Darwin’s rather unsuccessful sequel, ‘The Origin of Species 2: Electric Boogaloo’. The theory was further developed by a moderately well known musical group the Starland Vocal Band. (I challenge

anyone to sit through ‘Afternoon Delight’ and not conclude that civilisation is unravelling). Devolution was also the central philosophy of the rock group Devo, best known for their song ‘Whip It’ and for wearing plastic flowerpots on their heads. I must now ask the one question I thought I’d never have to answer: were Devo right? Humankind’s determination to dismantle thousands of years of

progress is perhaps best exemplified by the ‘danger’ selfie. This is the self-portrait taken when the person holding the phone ought to be doing something more useful such as ducking or getting out of the way as quickly as possible to avoid catastrophe. Recently, major events such as the Tour de France and – for crying out loud – Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls have been blighted by gurning nitwits risking life and limb just to take their own photo. Taking a selfie is, frankly, downright lazy and a little bit sad. If you were to upload picture of a watercolour or even a grey lead pencil sketch to your facebook page, you’d have my absolute respect. Even if you did a sculpture and the end results were a part human / part amphibian like the one in Lionel Ritchie’s ‘Hello’ video clip I’d still respect you. But, it seems, there’s no app for ‘amphibious sculpture’. Getting your photo taken used to be a special occasion. At my father’s house, photos of earlier generations show them dressed to the nines, tens and elevens with bow ties and long dresses. Even more recently, on the day school portraits were done you had to ensure your tie was straight, shirt tucked in and your hair patted down. I did all these things but needn’t have bothered. Regardless of any effort to groom myself, the results were always dispiriting. I still prefer to blame the entire art of photography than accept the even uglier truth: this is what I look like. I

had then and retain now an uncanny ability to close my eyes at the exact moment a photo is taken. Most photos of me resemble a slightly disassembled Mr Potato Head. Consider this: these unflattering portraits have all been the work of trained professionals; people who have devoted their lives to the study of photography – of light, shape, form and composition. If their best efforts produce an image of someone who looks as though he’s just been dropped from a great height, what chance do I, as an amateur, have of taking a half decent selfie? And it’s here that the bitter truth becomes evident: perhaps this enmity I feel towards the art of the selfie is rooted not in snobbery but in good, old fashioned jealousy. Here’s the rub – I have, from time to time, made several attempts at selfies. Without exception, they have all been disastrous. Accuracy seems to be a significant problem. A stray ear or side burn cannot, strictly speaking, be called a ‘selfie’ at all. Frankly, I am useless at it. This, I feel, explains everything. Maybe the fault is not with others but with me. The world, so it seems, has moved and left me behind. Life is like that. Sadly, there’s no way to cease the march of progress as time moves things ever forward. The only way to capture things exactly as they are and preserve them forever is, ironically, to take a photo. Even a selfie. I think I just might. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance MELBOURNE promoter Dennis Smith pulled off a real scoop with his series of Go!! Show concerts and it appears they are only getting stronger with the latest Go!! Show Golden the 50th Anniversary Tour at the Palais Theatre. It is hard to believe that it is 50 years since the first television Go!! Show went to air. The show produced a new wave of pop stars and in 2011 Dennis Smith decided to get them all together on stage for a Go!! Show reunion across Australia. Dennis recruited the ultimate backing band for the tour which included Musical Director Peter Robinson (Bass) who played in the 60s band The Strangers, Danny Robinson (Backing vocals) lead singer of the 60s band Wild Cherries with Lobby Loyde and the Virgil Brothers. I have been a huge fan of Dan Robinson and loved his vocals on the 1971 Top 20 hit Wild World by session band Fourth House. I would have given anything to hear Danny sing Wild World at the Palais Theatre. I still rate him as one of the finest male singers in this country. Perth’s Johnny Young was the host and also sang his hits. Mike Brady sang his 1965 MPD LTD No.1 hit Little Boy Sad and broke the 60s format to sing his 1979 hit Up There Cazaly which turned out to be a crowd favourite. Bobby Bright (Bobby and Laurie) and minus Laurie Allen who died of a heart attack in 2002 sang their No.1 hit Hitchhiker and with the help of Marcie Jones followed up with I Belong With You. Ronnie Burns has lost none of his great talent singing his hits Exit Stage Right (1967), Age of Consent (1968) and the song written by Johnny Young, Smiley (1969). Ronnie Charles former lead singer with The Groop sang their 1967 hit Woman You’re Breaking and Such a Lovely Way (1969). A humble Buddy England was a clear stand-out singing his 1967 hit Movin’ Man but surprised many with only two songs. Buddy was also a member of The Seekers and The Mixtures at one stage and wrote the Top 40 hit Every Time You Touch Me for Tony Pantano in 1971. Buddy was also the former PR Manager of Astor Records and had singles Doll

House and If I Never Get to Love You. Other performers included Colin Cook, Pussyfoot, Normie Rowe, Tony Worsley, Johnny Young, The Mixtures who re-formed especially for this 2014 Go!! Show tour and played their hits In the Summertime, Pushbike Song and Captain Zero. Marcie Jones and The Cookies (Cook sisters Margaret, Beverley and Wendy) had the crowd on their feet with their fine-tuned harmonies. Marcie has great personality and I enjoy our regular luncheons and chats. Colleen Hewett has lost none of her jest for life and her extraordinary rasp vocals belting out Superstar, Day By Day and as stirring performance of Wind Beneath My Wings which had many reaching for their tissues. Donna Jones AKA Pussyfoot sang her worldwide hit The Way That You Do It and Normie Rowe was a crowd favourite and sang all his hits including Oh La La, Que Sera Sera, Penelope and It Ain’t Necessarily So. The former King of Pop

had more than eight top-10 hits and more than seven Top-20 hits. Johnny Young with Glenn Wheatley did a moving tribute to Jim Keays. Jim passed away June 13, 2014 after a long illness. My highlight was the appearance of Ross D Wylie (pictured). His performance was faultless and his voice has not faltered after all these years as he sang his hits The Star (1969) and Funny Man (1969). The Brisbane born singer was the compere of the TV show ‘Uptight’ and a friend talked Ross into recording the Ray Stevens song Funny Man which went into the Top 20 around Australia followed closely by The Star written by Johnny Young which was a No.1 hit. A hugely successful event. Artists original CDs including greatest hits are available www.aztecrecords.com.au *** IF you believe it, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett will join forces to release a jazz album titled Cheek to Cheek.

The 28-year-old singer and 87-yearold jazz great are long time friends and spent two years recording the album. The first single will be a cover of Cole Porter’s Anything Goes. The album will be released next month. Bennett was one of the singers who emerged before the arrival of rock’n’roll and is continuing beyond it. He was least influenced by the shifts in popular music around him. His debut his was Because of You followed by a cover version of Hank Williams’ Cold Cold Heart, both in 1951. *** HOUSE concerts have become an important part of the Mornington Peninsula with a concert ‘Songwriters in the Round House’ held on Saturday August 16 at Bittern featuring Gretta Ziller, Matt Henry and the popular Weeping Willows. The Weeping Willows, Andrew Wrigglesworth and Laura Coates, are a couple of old souls, steeped in bluegrass tradition and draped in gothic Americana imagery. To Andrew, the acoustic guitar is the object that hangs permanently from his shoulders. He plays it with purpose and authority and it wraps itself around his and Laura’s vocals with warmth and affection, never saying too much or too little. Doors open at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start and the cost is only $15 per person which includes supper. BYO drinks. Numbers are strictly limited for this intimate event; first in best dressed. To book and pay, please contact your host, Jenny Keck on 0410 042 671, or email jennykeck@gmail.com *** THRILLER Live, a spectacular theatrical production now in its record breaking 6th year in London’s West End, was created to celebrate the career of the world’s greatest entertainer, Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five. It’s now coming to Australia for a national tour including Melbourne. A touring company of 45 international and Australian performers, musicians and crew will bring Thriller Live to life in this Australian premiere production.

settling for the pension with no interference; cut down on beer, smokes, petrol. Who to blame? *** The Red Hill Ward by election has some 17 candidates. After years of sleep they’ve woken up? No doubt the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre vote will feature. There’s a rumour the Council is looking at another site across the road from beachside. Do not hold your breath. *** I fondly recall the sharp satire of “Not The 9 o’clock News” on television way back ’79-’82. They sang a song beginning with “I believe”. Classic satire, hilarious, presented by Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Pamela Stephenson and Griff Rhys-Jones (refer:Youtube). Following in this vein I submit new lyrics...”I believe in Kathy Jackson’s HSU good management, I believe in Julie Bishop’s refusal to call the West Bank ‘occupied’, I believe in Matthew Guy’s fairness in banning high rise development in our nicest suburbs, I believe in privatisation, I believe Geoff Shaw is the man for Frankston, I believe Joe Hockey is really an average Joe...but I can’t believe Tony Abbott is our Prime Minister”. Joke? *** Darling Jacqui Lambie. (Forget Ricky Muir-his anonymity is much to our lik-

ing). Jacqui is a breath of fresh air; she has a go. I may not agree with some of her arguable philosophical leanings, but the mix of comedy and pronouncements is good stuff. A touch of theatre, her truth. A debate with Jacqui and Tony would surely be more interesting than Thorpe and Parkinson. The Herald-Sun described Lambie’s comments as sexist, demeaning, ill-advised and just plain rude. No mention of Tony’s behaviour across the table from Lady Julia when in opposition? Go Jacqui. *** “Dole bludgers are turning down jobs and continuing to drain the taxpayer because work they are offered does not suit their lifestyle or they can’t be bothered getting out of bed”. From Renee Viellaris (Herald-Sun). Renee can look forward to a bright future with her newspaper; alternatively as a reporter on A Current Affair. *** Denny Napthine on Geoff Shaw “He needs to show genuine remorse and genuine understanding of what he’s done wrong”. Orchids to loveable Denny for his decision to increase services on the Dandenong and Frankston train lines. Some say this is simply motivation for the upcoming State elections. No fear. Denny is a bonsor bloke. *** Another bonsor is Matty Guy with his

high rise pokey boxes approvals in the CBD. Said Matty on the stolen recording “There are so many questions that remain unanswered by Daniel Andrews and the Labor Party. If Labor looks deceptive and tricky it’s probably because they are. Victorians have a right to keep on asking” There’s questions we’d like to ask you too Matty mate. Mind you, Daniel’s had almost four years to make waves and until now just the odd ripple. State politics can best be described as a tragi-comedy. We have huff and puff Dennis, promising the world ever on the lookout for a stricken horse, and opposite number Daniel consistently giving the impression he’s not running the show, a frontman without any seeable authority. In short, at this particular stage I trust neither of them. *** The Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island is one of the “hot spots” as part of the government’s Tourism 2020 stategy aimed at competitiveness, quality and productivity, and with it many hundreds of jobs within the tourism industry. Hopefully this includes a form of public transport a shade better than our present third world effort. Mind you, those people travelling to the proposed world class tourist destination and education precinct at Point Nepean National park, (including a high quality hotel and health retreat) will have cars (or helicop-

A Grain of Salt Strange as it may seem to you mysterious invisible readers some have taken the trouble to email me when they perceive they have a point to make, as argument, or simply to say something pleasant. Generally this is nice; a reply, kind regards and so on. In the sweetest possible way however, there’s no point arguing with me. I’m too old to change my mind and being realistic my form of wisdom (for want of a better word) is entrenched. All critical emails should rightfully be addressed to Your Say c/o The Herald-Sun. Alternatively, if your thoughts contain a modicum of wisdom try this newspaper, or the psuedo intelligent newspaper; The Age. *** The 16,500 public sector job cuts announced in the federal budget is something we read about and quickly forget. Governments respond with vague references to additional jobs created, most of which we ignore unless silly enough to believe their quarter truths. Even Stephen as they say, calm the sheep. Some of the unemployed may be the only bread winners; some single mothers. What a shocker to have to go down the Centrelink path. I feel for them, particularly living alone, renting, thrust into the abyss; the loss of self respect, particularly fear. I stopped working for money on account of Centrelink harrassment, no offence to those who work there,

MamaBake a revolution from the kitchen By Karen Swan The concept is simple but unique. Described as a ‘worldwide community of big batch, group cooking, laundry ignoring, Mamas’, MamaBake is essentially groups of locals mums getting together once a week to cook one big batch recipe each. The batch then gets divvied up amongst all the mums at the end of the session and everyone goes home with a few nights worth of home-cooked dinners. There’s also the added benefits of saving time and having a good old gasbag with friends while you cook. Big Batch Recipes So, what qualifies as a ‘big batch recipe‘? As Mama Bake describes, ‘Serves 4′ doesn’t cut it when cooking Mama Bake style. Instead, you’ll find lots of tried and tested recipes on the website that all serve fifteen or more people. The emphasis is on wholesome family favourites from scratch with lots of specialised big batch, allergy friendly recipes too – casseroles, mild curries, soups and lunchbox fillers. Start your own MamaBake Join the movement for FREE to get a free eBook with tips to get your own group started as well as some big batch recipes. More recipes are also available on the MamaBake blog or get access to hundreds of tried and tested MamaBake recipes by joining their Premium Baking Club and via their email newsletter. And if you start your own group, be sure to let them know about it! They love sharing stories of their in-real-life MamaBake groups!

Buds are a real show for finals NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IN an extraordinary tale of events, Rosebud is a realistic chance to play finals this year after beating Red Hill on Saturday. Despite losing four games by less than a goal this season and being struck down by injury to some key players, the Buds are now just a game outside of the top five with two matches to play. The Buds (111.77 per cent), sit in sixth position and have a superior percentage over Rye (106.37), who currently hold down fifth position. Rosebud face Tyabb this weekend, before finishing the season with a match against Devon Meadows at Olympic Park. Rye tackles Somerville this weekend and finishes with Sorrento at home in the final game of the season. There is no doubt that the season of Rosebud and Rye is going to come down to the final home and away game of the year on August 23. The Buds will be disappointed that they are not playing Devon this weekend, after they lost Troy Aust, Chris Doria, Cal O’Hare and Brian (Brandon) Wapshott. This is added to the injury of Steve McInnes. Some of these guys might be right for the final round. McInnes and Doria definitely will be. Rosebud was sensational against the Hillmen on Saturday, finally getting away to a good start. The Buds were even with Red Hill at quarter time and led by seven points at half time. The final result was 11.14 (80) to 10.12 (72). Greg Bentley was outstanding for the Buds with a best on ground performance. Tom Baker was strong in attack with three goals and 17-yearold Sean Downie in only his fifth senior game was fantastic with three majors. Lachy Armstrong also played a significant role. Rosebud coach Nick Jewell said his side was a blue collar team that need to compete hard to win matches. “We put four quarters of football together which helped us win the game. We outscored Dromana after quarter time and Sorrento after half time but our first quarters hurt us in these games. We have to play like a blue collar side all day to win,” said Jewell. Rosebud is almost at full strength with Bentley over his soft tissue injuries (he has played only seven games this season), Ryan Spooner (shoulder) getting confidence and Armstrong up and going after spending six weeks overseas. Asked about his side’s finals chances, Jewell said “there’s plenty of work to do”. Marcus Dal Lago was named Red Hill’s best player while Josh Mold and Matt Mitchell in his first game worked tirelessly. Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said he knew it was a danger game for his side. “As a coach you just get those gut feelings and I could just sense that we were a bit down before the game,” Blackford said. “We fought it out well but Rosebud had a lot to play for today and they played with a real intensity all day. Bentley was just sensational and proved why he is arguably the best player in the competition.” Hastings caused one of the upsets of

the season when it kicked the last goal of the game to beat Sorrento. After Sorrento hit the front for the first time with two minutes left on the clock, the Blues responded with Luke Hewitt putting the home team back in front. Sorrento’s Ben Schwarze had an opportunity to win the game for his side in the dying seconds but missed his shot at goal and handed the Blues an unlikely victory. The Blues kicked with the aid of the wind in the first quarter and got away to a flier, leading by 16 points at the first change. They led by six points at half time and by 16 points again at three quarter time. Good kicking at goal certainly helped them win the match, finishing with 13.3 (81) to 11.13 (79). Grant Masterson showed once again how great he can be with four goals while Josh Mulheron and Steve Robb were superb. Leigh Poholke booted three for the

Blues while Troy Schwarze and Dave Lawson were named as their best players. Devon Meadows got jumped on the weekend and despite hitting the front in the last quarter, were beaten by four points at the hands of Somerville. While the Panthers had their chances to win the game, it was the first quarter (6.7 to .0.3) that hurt them in the end. After the first break, the visitors booted 11.14 to Somerville’s 7.2. The Eagles got the chocolates though and once again proved that their best is extremely good and hard to stop. Adrian Ridout, who booted 18 goals in three appearances, was not in the side on Saturday. However, Ben Sedgewick played forward and booted three goals, while Jedd Suton, Steven Croe and Justin Farrelly were at their best. Jack Bow kicked four for the panthers and Craig Thorne, Billy Hayes and Stef Baumgartner were named in their best players. The Panthers are likely to unearth

another debutant this week in light of the injuries they sustained on Satrday. Dromana chopped up Frankston Bombers on Saturday, winning 24.20 (164) to 6.12 (48). The Bombers have been brave this season but they were simply no match for the class of the Tigers on Saturday. Anthony Bruhn put on a show with eight goals while Jae Williams played his best senior game ever across half forward with four majors. In more good news for the Tigers, Dan Gormley was back to his best and Adam Coyle and Toby Banks found plenty of the pill. Mitch Bosward, Jay Reynolds and Duncan Proud were again among the best for the Bombers while Ben Simmons was also very good. Crib Point is two games clear on top of the table and will finish the season minor premiers after smashing Rye. The Magpies started well and led by 12 points at quarter time and cut the game open in the second and third quarters, booting ten goals to four.

Rye rallied in the last but it was still a 15.5 (95) to 9.9 (63) victory to the Magpies. Glen Boyd was outstanding with seven majors while Luke Herrington starred again with three. Jake Bromley was also back to his best in a run with role. Ben Winters-Kerr and Jake Semmel, along with Ben Cain, were named Rye’s best. Pearcedale had to work hard to get the four points against Tyabb, winning 13.13 (91) to 9.16 (70). The Dales set up the win with a five goal to two third quarter with the wind and led by 37 points at the final change. Jake Anderson was brilliant for the Yabbies with five goals while Craig Conlan and Ash Souter were also among their best. Dylan Hoare kicked five for the Dales while Trav Sauer and Ben Mitchell collected the top votes. Troy Jacobson has also finished the season extremely well.

Stonecats smash Doggies in surprise PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW humiliated Mornington in front of their own crowd to win by more than ten goals in the Peninsula League match of the round on Saturday. Inaccuracy saved Mornington from further humiliation, the Stonecats dominating from the first bounce to have 35 scoring shots to just 11. The Stonecats had an even spread of contributors, which went a long way to the 14.21 (105) to 6.5 (41) victory. Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers said when his side got their hands on the footy and started to win it, they were able to gain control and dictate terms. “All of the good sides are hard to stop when this takes place,” said Mathers. Unlike last week against Edithvale, the visitors were able to get control pretty quickly against the Dogs. David Bodley booted five goals for the winners, while Jackson Calder was the only multiple scorer for the Dogs. Mathers was keen to square the ledger against the Dogs, who beat them earlier in the season. “We don’t want to go into the finals playing against a side we haven’t beaten in the home and away season. We certainly don’t want to be giving them (Mornington) any confidence going into finals,” said Mathers. Ricky Morris has been a welcome addition in the past couple of weeks

for YCW, while Byron Barry and Josh Westerman were back on the weekend. Ben Buckley and Dale Carroll are still a couple of weeks away. “We have good depth at the moment and it places internal pressure to keep your spot, which is important,” Mathers said. Mathers said despite the easy victory, the top four sides are evenly matched. “There’s nothing between them and you have to be on from the first bounce in every match. I’m not discounting Mt Eliza, however, it’s just the top four sides have a better win/loss than Mt Eliza and they have two more rounds to prove themselves,” Mathers said. Prove themselves they tried, however, MT Eliza was not good enough to beat Bonbeach, going down 12.10 (82) to 13.12 (90). The Redlegs were in front at half time and trailed by just two points at three quarter time, before Bonbeach kicked 3.4 to 2.4 in the last. Bonbeach coach Stevey Capp said before the game that it was going to be a tough one. “They are close to having their best side in now and with Scott Lockwood up front, they can be hard to stop,” said Capp. Lockwood booted six goals while Sam Gill and Karl Lombardozzi were significant contributors for the Redlegs. Bonbeach rely on a spread. “We have had to rely on an even

spread to kick goals this season. We haven’t had one forward to rely on to kick goals each week so we have to rely on everyone to chip in,” said Capp. On Saturday, Matt Clifford bobbed up for five majors while ruckman Dylan Jones was handy in attack with three goals. Paul Rebeschini was arguably the best player on the ground. Jackson Casey was outstanding again. “Jackson Casey has added a midfield role to his game and at such a young age, he’s becoming one of the best in the competition,” said Capp. “Shane McDonald is spending about 70 per cent of his time through the middle now and is starting to get up and going again after coming back from his broken arm. “It was really good for us to have another finals-type match so close to the business end of the season,” said Capp. Karingal won its first game of the season on Saturday, dominating for most of the afternoon to beat Chelsea. The Bulls were helped in their victory by former Port Adelaide star and Richmond assistant coach Brendon Lade returning, while favourite son Bevan Malloy returned for a cameo performance. Lade finished with two goals and Malloy was the best player on the ground. Grant Goodall also dominated the ruck for the Bulls, Aaron Paxton was superb with three goals and George

Angelopolous and Tom Wilkinson starred, as they have done for most of the season. It was just reward for the Bulls, who have experienced a tough year. It was wonderful for Michael Burke, who put his hand up to coach for the remainder of the season. Todd Gardiner was the best of the Gulls, who are once again experiencing tough times. Chelsea has already been on the phone sounding out prospective coaches for next season. Paul Howroyd is in his first season at Chelsea, replacing Paul Grybis, who had the job for one year. Prior to the Mornington game, Chelsea coach Paul Howroyd told the club he would not be coaching next season. However, he was buoyed by the performance of his team against the Dogs and is now rethinking his future with the club. “We have a lot of injuries and there are a lot of Under 18s in the side, which is great for the long term future of the club but tough right now,” said Howroyd. “The club and I had a hiccup before the Mornington game but after that, I had a lot of people come up to me and encourage me to keep going. “I think the club and I need to sit back at the end of the season and take a deep breath. “I’ll be coaching next year but not sure where at this stage,” said Howroyd.

It seems the club has already taken its breath and have been talking to prospects for next season already. Pines coach Steve Ryan said Pines had not beaten Seaford in his entire time with the club, as a player and as a coach. On Saturday, in his second last game as coach of the club, he celebrated an 18.13 (121) to 10.17 (77) victory. Shaun White booted five goals, Guy Hendry four and Jimmy Messina and Chris Guganovic starred. “We’ve been smashed most times we go there,” said Ryan. In more exciting news for the Pythons, they expect to name their new coach when finals begin. “We have three or four we are looking at and are hoping to announce one before finals begin, depending on what role those individuals might have at that time of the year,” said Ryan. In the final game, Langwarrin kept its slim finals hopes alive with a great win over Edithvale-Aspendale. The Eagles had their strongest side in for the season, however, the Kangas were able to do the job away from their home deck. Matt Dimkos was the difference between the sides with five goals while Matt Naughton rucked for the entire game and took the honours. Michael Kremmer was the best of the Eagles, while Nick Connellan booted three goals.
