Tax scam targets councillor Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRAUDSTERS have been targeting Frankston residents by calling and claiming fictitious tax bills are overdue and must be immediately paid. Frankston councillor Glenn Aitken is one of many who received a phone message from a man claiming to represent “the federal office of taxation” last week. The caller falsely claimed Cr Aitken had an affidavit against his name for tax evasion. “It was very unpleasant. He claimed my property was under surveillance and I had to contact them urgently or else state enforcement agencies would be visiting me and I’d be in dire trouble.” Cr Aitken called the number left by the so-called office of taxation to inform the man he would be reporting the attempted fraud to the police. “These people are predators,” he said. “There are people who are vulnerable and would be scared and could disclose their tax file number and bank details.” The councillor is worried that some Frankston residents who are elderly or have learning difficulties could be intimidated into paying money to the fraudsters. The Times called the 02 6172 0217 number given to Cr Aitken but the call went directly to voicemail each time.

The Australian Taxation Office is aware of the threatening “fake tax debt” phone scam. Assistant tax commissioner Thomas Ryan said the ATO makes thousands of calls to taxpayers each week, but would never contact taxpayers about a debt in a threatening way. He urged people to protect their personal details. “We take your privacy seriously. We urge you to be alert to these types of scams and never send money or give your financial details to someone you don’t know and trust,” Mr Ryan said. “Generally the ATO would send an SMS or letter to remind you that a payment was due. If we don’t get a response from this we would then call you to discuss payment,” Mr Ryan said. If people receive a call from the someone claiming to represent the ATO and are concerned about providing their personal information over the phone, they should ask for the caller’s name and call back through the ATO’s switchboard on 13 28 69. If people think they may have fallen victim to a phone scam, contact the ATO on 13 28 61 (8am–6pm, Monday to Friday). See the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission site scamwatch.gov.au for information on common fraud attempts faced by consumers and businesses.

Allies plan to fight crime Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au POLICE, security companies, retailers, major shopping chains and municipalities joined forces last week to plan how to better combat crime in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Crime Prevention Alliance – the first of its kind in Victoria and running since February – aims to find ways to cut anti-social and criminal behaviour around public places and shopping centres. This will be done by “sharing good practice and crime prevention strategies”, according to its initiator, Senior Sergeant Dean Clinton, of Frankston’s Proactive Programs Unit. The alliance’s 16 members met at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Queen St offices to discuss potential anticrime themes and cross-match tactics and strategies. Sergeant Clinton said the alliance wanted to empower retailers and shopping centre managemers to adopt their own crime prevention plans over 12 months and to take action to prevent crime. “We meet on a regular basis and share ideas and gather information to help spot trends in offender behaviour,” he said. “The idea is to give businesses the tools and knowledge to implement better prevention measures against common crimes, such as shoplifting, theft

from motor vehicles, and property damage. “We’re also engaging with contractors in industrial estates and retailers in shopping strips to implement similar preventative strategies. We share ideas that are proven to reduce or prevent theft – GPS tracking, positioning of warning signs and security cameras, marking high risk items and training staff to be on the lookout for suspect customers. “Something as simple as implementing a Crime Stoppers board can lead to a drop in crime rates as it shows repeat offenders that they’ve been spotted.” Last year, about 1400 thefts from stores were reported in the Frankston and on the peninsula. “The flow-on effects can dramatically impact perceptions among the community and people may choose to avoid certain areas as a result,” Senior Sergeant Clinton said. “We’re all responsible for helping to prevent crime in our community and by working together we can work smarter to help make a difference.” Karingal Hub general manager Bev McCaughey said the aim of the alliance was to get a variety of community movers and shakers “out of our silos and networking with each other”. “We are able to absorb new ideas and initiatives which we are able to use to make the community safer,” Ms McCaughey said. One initiative is Look, Lock and Leave, which reminds and encourages shoppers to lock their cars and either

remove or stow valuables after parking their cars. “We want people to be more conscious of their surroundings and not complacent,” she said. “We will devise themes throughout the year all with a community safety aspect and everyone will take them back to their precincts to promote a greater awareness.” Frankston Business Chamber executive officer Karin Hann said the “constructive” meeting discussed what business could do to reduce, for ex-

ample, illegal rubbish dumping. “We report to each other on areas of concern, and we then pass this on to our neighbours so that they are also in the loop,” she said. “We also discuss how retail customers can make themselves and their property safer. We all have this perception that ‘it won’t happen to us’, but, of course, it could.” Senior Sergeant Clinton said extra CCTV cameras to watch over shopping centres and industrial estates to combat graffiti, bollards to help pre-

vent ram-raids at shopping centres, and greater out-reach by youth workers, were examples of strategic thinking to benefit the community. So was the tactic of having Karingal Hub loss prevention officers wear hivis vests – “making themselves obvious to thieves” – to deter shoplifters. “There’s a flow-on effect: If people feel safer in a shopping centre they will be inclined to stay longer and spend more money,” Senior Sergeant Clinton said.

From Uganda with love Teacher Hannah Clarke, of Flinders Christian Community College, travelled to Uganda in June to visit the school’s sponsor child, Shafik. Ms Clarke, of Carrum Downs, has been sponsoring Shafik through World Vision Australia for two years. She jumped the chance to finally meet him in person and then, back home, share the meeting with the children at the school. A highlight of her visit was seeing the range of programs on offer at the school and how they catered to the many different age groups. And, to see Shafik surrounded by classmates and engaging with his school, meant a lot to them. Staff she interacted with from World Vision were passionate about their work. Ms Clarke said she “really admired seeing locals working with locals” – in particular, meeting a volunteer who helped Shafik write letters back to Australia. “The communication via letters and reports is so important for us in being able to share with the children at our own school what Shafik’s life is like, and why we need to support him with our sponsorship,” Ms Clarke said. “The group was made really welcome and felt their visit would add a new dimension to the school’s relationship with sponsorship recipients.” While in Uganda, the teachers visited another school at which Hannah volunteered her services five years ago. This helped build the relationships there and led to Shafik’s sponsorship. Children at Flinders Christian Community College enjoy writing and

receiving letters from Uganda. Since returning home, teachers say they have seen an increased level of engagement. “After seeing photos of us in Uganda shaking hands with Shafik, they have a whole new level of understanding,” Ms Clarke said. “We’re so proud of the kids as they’ve really taken ownership of the letter writing and relationship.” Ms Clarke encourages others “to think outside of their own immediate community and look to how they can help those in need”.

Beach fit: PARC members put it all on the line during an early morning tug of war.

Stepping up to new level of fitness IT IS early morning and PARC Fit participants are standing at the bottom of Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, in front of what seems an impossibly steep set of stairs. They could be home snug in bed, but, instead, find themselves staring up a pain-inducing path that ultimately leads to weight loss, increased fitness and a better “butt” – and they are not alone. Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre health and fitness manager Dan Andrews has helped 120 PARC Fit participants lose more than 100 kilograms in body weight collectively. The PARC Fit eight week boot-camp challenge has 120 local residents taking part. Run by qualified trainers, it is about to enter its fourth cycle and has already seen a diverse range of men and women of all ages and different skill levels taking on the fitness challenge –

with many seeing immediate results. Peninsula resident Christine has completed the PARC Fit program already and has decided to come back for more. “I joined half-heartedly, as I wasn’t sure I could commit during winter, but I haven’t missed a session since,” she said. “I find that because it’s in an eightweek block, there’s a lot of motivation, and the variety of sessions mean you never know what the morning’s workout will be.” Mr Andrews recognises that exercise is tougher during the winter months, but he’s not surprised PARC Fit numbers have risen. “PARC Fit involves a commitment to exercise with a group of people in the same situation which gives participants the extra motivation they need during the colder months,” he said.

“In our program there’s an end and there’s a result, so everyone puts everything on hold and they turn up to all the sessions to achieve their goals.” Mr Andrews says running up Oliver’s Hill will get participants “fit fast” and, while tough, it can be “very rewarding”. Places are available for the PARC Fit 4 program which starts Monday 7 September. The three boot-camp-style sessions each week combine strength and conditioning work with outdoor sessions over eight weeks. PARC Fit is free to PARC members and $300 for non-members. All new PARC members will receive a free $100 2XU voucher. They are asked to sign up to reserve their place. See visit parcfrankston.com.au or call 9781 8444, or visit the centre at 16N Cranbourne Rd, Frankston.

Hunt converts to same-sex marriage cause Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ONGOING tensions within the Liberal Party over the legalisation of samesex marriage have been downplayed by federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt. A passionate Mr Hunt told The Times last Friday he believed media claims of internal party divisions in the aftermath of a Liberal party room meeting earlier this month to discuss same-sex marriage legalisation have been overblown. Workplace Minister Eric Abetz slamming cabinet leakers as “gutless” as differences of opinion on same-sex marriage emerged publicly after the

meeting held behind closed doors in the Liberal party room on Tuesday 11 August. Mr Hunt revealed he spoke in favour of marriage equality during the Liberal party room debate and backed a “free conscience vote” by MPs not tied along party policy lines. “I do support same-sex marriage and that view has evolved over recent years through conversations with the community,” he said. Mr Hunt has changed his mind on same-sex marriage since voting against a private members bill in September 2012 to legalise marriage for gay and lesbian couples. The member for Flinders was among 98 MPs who voted against the

proposal. Just 42 supported the bill at the time. Mr Hunt said he now supports samesex marriage “subject to strong protections of religious freedom”. The Environment Minister in the Abbott government says there is no animosity between himself and Dunkley Liberal MP and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson, for example, despite differing views on same-sex marriage (‘Liberals remain divided on same-sex marriage’, The Times 17/8/15). Mr Billson favours “the formal recognition of same-sex relationships” rather than its legalisation and says “going to a process after the next election that puts the question [on legalis-

ing same-sex marriage] to the people enables all individuals to have their say”. Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a longtime opponent of same-sex marriage, has rejected any party room backing of a free vote for Liberal MPs and instead favours a national plebiscite or referendum if the Coalition government wins a second term in office. Opposition leader Bill Shorten has vowed to legalise same-sex marriage without a plebiscite or referendum within 100 days of Labor winning government. Changed vows: Flinders MP Greg Hunt now backs same-sex marriage having previously voted against its legalisation.

Human rights czar puts family first at forum Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A HIGH-PROFILE federal government appointee with family links to the Mornington Peninsula is set to address a Liberal Party event in Mt Martha early next month. Australia’s Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson, who makes regular media appearances on shows such as the ABC’s Q&A and Channel Ten’s The Project, will be guest speaker at the Briars Historic Homestead in Mt Martha and it is a homecoming of sorts for the man dubbed the “Freedom Commissioner” by federal Attorney-General George Brandis. Mr Wilson lived in Mt Martha before

heading for the bright lights of Melbourne and is a former student of The Peninsula School. His mother is Linda Morris, wife of Liberal Mornington MP David Morris, and the ‘Advanced Human Rights in Australia’ event at The Briars features both Mr Morris and Mr Wilson on promotional material. “It’s not a fundraiser,” Mr Wilson said. “I speak to a lot of political parties because political parties are where you often find people who are interested in human rights and part of my role is human rights education so I try to do that as often as possible.” Mr Wilson has spoken at events hosted by The Australian Greens and Liberal Democrats parties during his time

as Human Rights Commissioner. The former research fellow at rightwing think tank the Institute of Public Affairs resigned as a Liberal Party and IPA member when contentiously employed by the Abbott government as Human Rights Commissioner early last year. He did admit to bias last week. Mr Wilson said he agreed to speak at the Mornington electorate conference hosted by Mr Morris “because my mother asked me”. “She asked me to come down and speak … I’ll confess my mother does get better treatment than anyone else.” The Human Rights Commissioner will talk about freedom of speech, religious freedom and same-sex marriage as part of his talk at the Liberal Party

event in Mt Martha. He makes it clear to political parties that any forum he speaks at not be a fundraising event and a modest fee to cover any necessary costs only is allowed. Any event must also fit in with existing Human Rights Commission travel unless the political party is prepared to cover his travel expenses. Mr Wilson has a holiday home on the peninsula. “I actually head down to the peninsula regularly,” he said. The Advanced Human Rights in Australia event will be held at the Briars Historic Homestead, 450 Nepean Hwy, Mt Martha on Monday 7 September, 6.30pm. Tickets $20 each. Call Linda Morris on 03 5975 4799 for bookings. Non-Liberal Party members welcome.

Arrests after drugs raid 1300 668 PHONE: SIX people were arrested by drug squad detectives on Saturday morning and charged with trafficking and possession of the drug ice. The three men and three women – all in their 30s – were arrested in a Frankston hotel room by detectives executing a drugs warrant. Detective Senior Constable Chris Sweet, of the Frankston Tasking Unit, said police would allege the group was found with a “large quantity” of ice, two firearms, and a quantity of cash. Police also allegedly recovered a stolen motorbike in the raid. Two were remanded in custody with court dates and times to be decided. Four were bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 1 December.

FRANKSTON Football Club officials will “reserve our final decision” on the two clubmen involved in a physical altercation at the ground on Sunday 2 August. General manager Simon Green on Wednesday said the ongoing police investigation into the fiery half-time clash between former coach and champion player Robbie Mace and president Bruce Cass meant they would hold off on commenting “at this stage”.

START-UP businesses are being encouraged to apply for funds from this year’s Frankston Council Small Business Grants Program. The grants, which began in 2012, have helped emerging businesses to finance a number of expenses, including capital works, marketing, re-branding, training, web services and the purchasing of specialist equipment. Many previous recipients have flourished in their chosen field, including Tony Sambell from online busines sites designer Spicy Web, who received a $10,000 home-based graduation grant. “Prior to receiving these funds, I was working out of home and was finding it difficult for my business to grow, as I was struggling to meet with new clients and to set up the space needed for my staff to work with me,” Mr Sambell said. The grant money he received was used to take his business to the next step and to advertise. “The grant money directly led to an increase

BEING asked for a cigarette is often the prelude to a punch in the face. That’s what a Frankston man must have thought after being set upon by a group of six teenagers as he walked home from work along Cranbourne Rd near Coprosma Avenue, 9.50pm, Wednesday 22 July. One of the teenagers asked the victim for a cigarette but, when he said he didn’t have any, he was struck to the right side of his head resulting in facial injuries. Two of the youths then grabbed the victim by his arms and pinned him to a fence, threatening further violence. Detective Senior Constable Catherine Mussared, of Frankston Embona Taskforce, said the offenders threatened to stab the victim if he did not hand over his mobile phone, which he did. The group then fled towards Paton St. The victim, 18, suffered a cut and scarring from his ear along his jaw line along the right side of his face, and a vertical fracture to a tooth which later had to be extracted. “He is shocked by the whole incident,” Detective Mussared said. “He was just trying to walk home and he is traumatised by the incident. “It was very confronting, very scary, for him, and it has affected him; he is trying to move on.” The teenagers are described as Caucasian, aged 1516, and 170cm tall. They were wearing hooded tops or baseball caps with jeans. One was wearing a Nike hoodie. Detective Mussared is appealing for witnesses on 9784 5555. The Crime Stoppers number is 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

The club’s committee met on Tuesday 4 August to discuss the incident outside the social club during the game against Geelong. Green said Cass has stepped down from his position as president, and resigned from the committee. He said Mace has been suspended from the club indefinitely. “Upon release of the findings of the investigation the committee will make final decisions surrounding what disciplinary actions will be taken with regards to the matter,” Green said. “There were no injuries to my knowledge and the police were in attendance on the day and nearby so were able to intervene quickly.” Asked what prompted the incident, Green said: “It could have been a clash of personalities, with two other guys trying to break it up.” But The Times understands the fracas followed comments involving Mace’s father, Brian, who has had a lifetime’s involvement with the club. Sergeant Phil Marshall, of Frankston police, said Cass had been interviewed “but Mace may not even be interviewed”. No charges had been made late last week. He said police at the match had intervened after a complaint was made by a member of the public. “We interviewed witnesses and took statements. We believe threats were made to Mace but it could be a case of one man’s word against another’s.” It is believed AFL investigator Gerry Ryan will conduct an investigation after police finish theirs.

Critical injuries: Police take measurements at the Frankston-Flinders Rd crash scene early Friday morning. Picture: Gary Sissons

Crash drama amid safety message THE relevance of Frankston police’s Operation Walker was highlighted early on Friday morning when a pedestrian was struck by a four-wheel-drive ute while crossing Frankston-Flinders Rd, opposite the football ovals and up the hill from Sages Rd, near Baxter. Paramedics reportedly restarted the 37-year-old man’s heart after he went into cardiac arrest, and made him ready for air transfer to The Alfred hospital. He was in a critical condition on Friday. The driver of the car is assisting police with their inquiries. Anyone who witnessed the incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com. au “We pray that he survives,”

Frankston station commander Senior Sergeant Stephen Burt said. “If so, he will no doubt need many months – if not years – of rehabilitation to recover from his injuries. “Do you want this to be you?” Thursday’s Operation Walker, 10am6pm, involved 10 plain clothes police from Frankston and Transit Police who were on the look-out for improper pedestrian and anti-social behaviour around the Frankston railway station and the CBD. Senior Sergeant Stephen Burt said 98 people were “spoken to” about their behaviour and 73 penalty notices issued, ranging from jay walking to other street offences. “It is clear that pedestrian behaviour when crossing roads is high risk

and full attention to the surroundings should be given when crossing roads,” he said. “It is vital that people understand the risks involved. Police will be further targeting vulnerable road users in the future to reduce this type of road trauma.” Operation Walker will continue throughout the year along with Operation Pedestrian Safe involving uniform and plain clothes police in the Frankston area. Police appeal to pedestrians to take care on the roads and use pedestrian crossings where available. “Arrogance on the roads does not mean immortality,” Senior Sergeant Stephen Burt said.

Thief cops spray

and will appear at a children’s court at dates to be fixed.

A WOULD-BE car thief got a soaking when he attempted to hijack a Frankston man’s car, 7.15pm, 29 July. The offender, armed with a silver meat cleaver, approached the 23-yearold victim washing his car at a commercial car wash on the corner of Klauer St and Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Seaford. The offender, described as Australian, aged 30, 183cm, and medium build, demanded the victim’s keys and even got into his car before a friend of the victim intervened and the man was hosed down with the high pressure spray. Sopping wet, he ran off over Frankston-Dandenong Rd towards Pines estate. The man was wearing a white/light grey hoodie and dark coloured pants. His face was covered by black cloth. Call Detective Senior Constable Marty O’Brien, Frankston Embona Armed Robbery Task Force, 9784 5590 with information.

Crowd hassles PSOs

A LARGE group of teenagers jostled and harassed PSOs as attempted to arrest a 14-year-old girl outside Frankston station on Saturday night. Senior Sergeant Steve Burt, of Frankston police, said four police units rushed to assist the three PSOs and warned the crowd to disperse before spraying OC foam on those they perceived as troublemakers. The girl was arrested for “outstanding matters” and taken to Frankston police station. A second female, 16, was also arrested and taken to Frankston police station after the crowd moved on. She was charged with public drunkenness, assaulting police, hindering police and other offences. Both were later released

A WOMAN driving 53 kp/h over the 40kp/h speed limit in a Baxter school zone was nabbed by Frankston Highway Patrol members last week. She was clocked at 93kp/h on Golf Links Rd about 3.30pm – just as school was finishing up for the day. The 46-year-old Pearcedale woman was taken to Carrum Downs police station where she returned a breath test of 0.093 per cent. Her Ford sedan was impounded for 30 days and she immediately lost her licence. She will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.

Gang bashing UP to 10 youths are being sought by Frankston police after bashing two men at Carrum Downs shopping centre, 9pm, Friday 7 August. Two members of the group, which was described by police as Islander in appearance and aged 17-18, approached two men aged 26 and 39, and asked for some tobacco. The men obliged but an argument erupted over payment. A fight started with the larger group “laying into the two men, punching and kicking”, according to Frankston CIU’s Detective Senior Constable Ashley Eames. The older man received a broken nose, broken tooth and facial bruising, and the younger man bruising and swelling and a loose tooth. Police were on the scene within minutes but the group had run up Currawong Dr and along Broderick Rd and escaped. The men were taken to Frankston hospital for treatment. Call Frankston CIU on 9784 5555.

International investors eye peninsula Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au TWO iconic Mornington Peninsula properties are set to change hands as overseas, interstate and Victorian investors consider the delights of owning real estate in “Melbourne’s playground”. The investors include a group from overseas who recently toured the peninsula looking at opportunities. Sunny Ridge strawberry farm in Main Ridge, and Moonah Links golf course in Fingal (inland from Rye) are the two latest properties to join a growing list of landmark holdings on the market or already sold. Moonah Links leads the pack, having been sold two weeks ago to overseas buyers for an undisclosed after being on the market for more than a year. The list includes the Portsea Hotel, Sorrento’s Continental Hotel ($15 million), Eagle Ridge golf course in Boneo ($10m), Whitehall Guest House in Sorrento ($4.5m), and Pig and Whistle Tavern in Main Ridge ($3.4m). Sunny Ridge, Australia’s secondbiggest strawberry producer, is offered for sale by tender with three serious buyers shown over the operation recently. The business has four farm blocks, one in Queensland (104 hectares), one in the Yarra Valley (118ha) and two on the peninsula (combined 108ha) that include the lucrative retail outlet and pick-your-own fields at Main Ridge. Sunny Ridge also grows blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, and has a turnover of $30 million

a year. The company sold 2.6 million kilograms of berries in 2013-14. Moonah Links with its 88-room Peppers hotel and conference centre went on the market more than a year ago with a price of between $10-15 million. Set on 238 hectares, it comprises two golf courses designed by five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson. It was owned by Paddy Handbury, a nephew of Rupert Murdoch. Eagle Ridge golf course is about 45 hectares. It started out as the smaller Carlogie golf course. It 1988 an additional parcel of land was purchased, and a championship-standard course opened in 1989. It was acquired by the Russo family in 1995. A new clubhouse with ballroom and commercial kitchen was built in 2000, and fairways were changed to drought-tolerant grass in 2007-08, nearly halving water use. Its replacement value has been reported as being $15 million plus but it’s on the market for about $10 million. Sorrento’s Continental Hotel has been for sale since March and has attracted wide interest. It was built by the “Father of Sorrento” George Coppin in 1875 and is the only four-storey limestone structure in the southern hemisphere. It’s had just eight owners in 140 years including the Di Pietro family, who bought it in 1996. Whitehall Guest House at the ocean end of Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento, is reputedly another Coppin creation. It was built in about 1903 and is one of the town’s few remaining grand guest houses from the halcyon days of

the late 19th and early 20th century. It has 31 bedrooms, two large lounges, a courtyard, dining area for 100 and is not subject to foreign investment restrictions, according to its selling agent. The Pig and Whistle Tavern on Purves Rd, Main Ridge, is on the market again after just two years. It is listed at $3.4 million and is being sold by Mornington commercial estate agent Kevin Wright. Colonial Leisure Group, owned by Computershare founder and millionaire Chris Morris, is selling the Portsea Hotel, a version of which has existed since 1876. The price has been reported as $25 million but an industry insider told The Times the property itself was worth $16 million and the value of the business would go on top of this. Rumours of the sale being due to the loss of the beach below the hotel since channel dredging in 2009 have been scotched by several sources but The Times understands the business is not doing as well as several years ago when it was under different management. Mr Morris acquired a 100 per cent interest in the pub in 2012. Colonial Leisure Group owns several other well-known pubs in greater Melbourne. It also owns Barragunda, the historic property in the green wedge at Cape Schanck that has a permit for a brewery, restaurant, function room, produce outlet, retail plant nursery and caretaker’s house. The permit was issued by the shire council more than four years ago but nothing has been built.

Rumours ‘all the time’ at Morning Star MT Eliza’s iconic property Morning Star Estate (pictured) was one of the peninsula properties inspected by overseas buyers this winter. Last Friday, owner Judy Barrett’s daughter Christine told The News that people were always coming to the property and asking if it was for sale. “Did you hear last week’s rumour that we had sold for $14 million?” she said. “Judy is not selling; we’re here to stay.” The property in Sunnyside Rd, Mt Eliza, started life as Sunnyside, the home of Francis Albert Gillett, a Londoner who arrived in the colony in the 1860s and played a prominent role in the early life of the district. Gillett designed Sunnyside, which was built in about 1867, and nearby Manyung. The 38-hectare property was bought by the Franciscan order in 1932 and became a training farm for delinquent boys and later a horse stud. It was bought by Judy Barrett in 1992 and restored to its former glory. It is now a boutique accommodation, restaurant and events venue with 12 hectares of pinot, chardonnay and cabernet grapes as well as 75,000 rose bushes and hundreds of fruit and olive trees.

Beach drama: Jackson Hillier was first into the sea to help save a teenage girl from drowning off Frankston beach. Picture: Yanni

Beach rescue sees bravery rewarded WHEN Jackson Hillier heard a young girl was in strife in the waters off Frankston beach he did not hesitate. The teenager plunged into the sea and began a rescue effort that saved a 17-year-old girl’s life. The 16-year-old Bonbeach resident was at Frankston beach with a friend on 8 February last year when it suddenly became clear a girl was in danger of drowning. His actions in mounting a rescue effort will see the teen receive an Australia Bravery Award approved by the Governor-General. Senior Constable Cameron Wallace

and another beachgoer, Aleziah Spiers from South Australia, will also receive Bravery Awards after joining the Bonbeach teenager in the water to save the young girl’s life as she struggled about 250 metres off Frankston beach. “I didn’t even think about it, I just headed straight out there,” Jackson said. He more than an hour talking to the girl to calm her before the police officer and Mr Spiers joined him to help and drag the teenage girl back to shore. Jackson said the scariest moment came when he feared for his life “when

I went under” during the tiring ordeal. During the journey back to the beach the girl lost consciousness and Constable Wallace was forced to give her “three quick breaths causing her to be ill and also breathe again” according to information released by the GovernorGeneral’s office. Jackson, Mr Spiers and Senior Constable Wallace are among 40 Australians set to receive the Bravery Medal. The Bravery Award nomination noted: “By his actions, Mr Hillier displayed considerable bravery.” Neil Walker

Fish assured: Fisheries Victoria says a drop in the number of snapper spawned in Port Phillip will not cause a loss in catch either in the bay or central and western Victorian waters. These boats are returning to the boat ramp near Flinders pier. Picture: Keith Platt

Snapper down, but not out ALTHOUGH the number of snapper spawned in Port Phillip last year Was less than in previous years Fisheries Victoria executive director, Travis Dowling, says it is “nothing to be alarmed about”. Mr Dowling says “natural fluctuations” are “perfectly normal in wild fish populations”. And he does not see the drop in spawning success affecting catches in the bay. “We are fortunate that this lower spawning year follows two very successful spawning seasons for snapper, which will ensure the fishery remains

productive for years to come,” Mr Dowling said. “Our scientists have undertaken these surveys of baby snapper in late March for 23 years and know to expect variation in spawning success depending on environmental conditions. “Port Phillip is the most important spawning area for snapper in central and western Victoria. “The surveys indicate low spawning success is more common than high spawning success, but the snapper fishery can remain strong with only a few highly successful spawnings each decade.”

Mr Dowling said key factors affecting the numbers of baby snapper included how many adults produced eggs, water temperature and nutrient input. “The latter two factors affect the survival rate of young snapper and are influenced by the timing and magnitude of spring/summer temperature increases and flows down the Yarra River,” he said.  Mr Dowling said it was important anglers obeyed bag and size limits for snapper “to ensure a high quality fishery that is robust to these variations in spawning success”.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au PLAYING golf has “kept me alive”, says Mt Eliza enthusiast Ralph Godfrey, who is about to celebrate his 100th birthday. He likes nothing better than spending time each week on the course – sometimes playing three rounds with his mates at Frankston Golf Club in Golf Links Rd. “I always look forward to playing golf,” Mr Godfrey said. “I like meeting people and I’ve found that hitting a little white ball around the course for two and a half hours makes me forget any problems.” After losing his wife in 2008 he maintains he would not be alive today if it were not for his love of the game and the deep friendships he has with club members. A member since 1982, Mr Godfrey has won two club Eclectic competitions and, when a mere 90, was good enough to win the John Robinson Trophy. This came on top of a hole-in-one he scored while playing at Seabrook Golf Club, Wynyard, Tasmania, in 1956. The old soldier, a lieutenant in the Second 21st Battalion, better known as Gulf Force, was a prisoner of war for four years after the Japanese overran the island of Ambon in World War II. Mr Godfrey believes he may be one of three surviving members of the battalion of 1031 men, of who hundreds were executed by the enemy. The memories of those dangerous days and his strength of commitment run deep and have led Mr Godfrey and the other survivors to return to Ambon to help the islanders, providing generators, electrical and hospital equipment and water pumps. This goes some way to adequately thanking them for their “behind the lines” assistance in helping the AIF soldiers imprisoned on their island. But the terrors of those fateful days are long

Night bust catches poachers TWO men will be charged on summons after they were allegedly caught taking abalone at Portsea on Friday 7 August. Their haul was over the catch limit and in the closed season. Fisheries officers patrolling the ocean beach at London Bridge intercepted the men just before midnight. A 42-year-old man from Cranbourne will be charged on summons with taking 49 abalone during the closed season, at night and with taking undersized abalone. He and another man are also expected to be charged on summons for allegedly obstructing fisheries officers in their duties, which carries a maximum penalty of $18,000, 12 months’ jail or both. Fisheries Victoria education and enforcement director Ian Parks said the abalone season was permanently

closed in central Victorian waters, except for nominated open days during the year. Abalone can only be taken between sunrise and sunset. “Abalone poaching threatens the sustainability of the fishery and opportunities for future generations of fishers,” Mr Parks said. “This is a good reminder that strict restrictions are in place to protect our resources and ensure they are shared among all users.” He said shellfish can only be taken in more than two metres of water to protect the intertidal zone. On open days, the daily bag limit is five abalone a person, of which no more than two can be greenlip. For details go to vic.gov.au/fisheries or the Victorian Recreational Fishing Guide.

ENJOY the best of both worlds with this ranch style home perfectly positioned on about 0.7 hectares, just a short drive to shops, schools and transport. Surrounded by towering gums and native gardens, this family property lends itself to entertaining with its free flowing design and generous proportions with wrap around verandahs on all sides of the home. The maintenance factor to the home is quite low and the block offers plenty of land with minimal upkeep, making for a great lifestyle balance. A meandering path leads to the front door where further delights await

inside with two fantastic living areas and a recently renovated kitchen with ample bench space. Complemented by lovely stone benchtops and glass splash backs, the kitchen also features stainless steel appliances and adjoins a tiled dining area that opens to a lovely outdoor entertainment area. Conveniences such as evaporative cooling and ducted heating are in place, but for little bit more ambience there is a nice wood fire in the lounge. The main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe, two of the three remaining bedrooms have built in robes, and all share

the family bathroom which has also been renovated. The peace and quiet that this property affords will be something you will cherish as you spend quality time with the family enjoying the barbecue area with gabled roof pergola and overlooking the manicured lawns in this wonderfully private setting. Come the warmer months, the solar heated in-ground pool will be the place to be and the pool house complete with sink and bathroom is a handy inclusion. A double carport and an impressive shed with power are other excellent external improvements to this property.

Dog day afternoon

Concert explores 60 years of Cash ON 1 September 1954 a young man walked into the recording studio in the Memphis Recording Service building at 706 Union Av, Memphis, Tennessee, and walked out after cutting a record that would define its own genre of music. That single, Hey Porter, was released on the Sun Records label on 21 June 1955 and a legend was born. Few artists can claim that they are an entire genre of music unto themselves, as Cash can. There were none like him before and there have been none like him since. At his passing in 2003 at the age of 71, Cash left behind an unparalleled body of work, having recorded more than 1500 songs. He is the only artist to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll, Country Music and Songwriters’ Halls of Fame, as well as being a member of the Rockabilly and Gospel Halls of Fame. Now, 60 years after the release of his first single, having won countless awards, including 14 Grammy awards, and after becoming a worldwide household name, the artist is an icon of 20th century popular culture and his legend has continued to grow as we have moved well and truly into the 21st century.

Since 2009, award-winning singer Daniel Thompson, and Australian guitarist Stuie French, have been wowing Australian audiences with Johnny Cash the Concert, keeping the spirit of the Man in Black alive with their authentic tribute to Johnny Cash and his music. This year, the boys return with their new show Cash 60 60 Years of Johnny Cash, marking 60 years since the world first heard from the powerhouse that was Johnny Cash. Backed as always by their engine room, The Tennessee Studs, Cash 60 promises to be Johnny Cash the Concert’s best show yet. Always keen to give their audiences something new and fresh, Cash 60 brings the expected hits and highlights from Cash’s stellar career but, as always, the show is full of select favourites and forgotten gems from the extensive Cash catalogue. Nobody brings to life the spirit and the music of The Man in Black quite like Johnny Cash the Concert. The show is 8pm, Friday 4 September at Frankston Arts Centre. It runs for 135 minutes, including interval. All tickets are $65.

MORNINGTON

SAFETY Beach residents could have been forgiven for thinking they were in the Yukon on Sunday last week when 22 samoyeds came strolling along the beach. Along with a Jack Russell and dalmatian they posed for a group photo on the jetty and then walked to the Tassels Cove off-leash beach for a play and run with the locals, before walking around Martha Cove boardwalk. The occasion was a monthly pet walk by members of The Samoyed Club of Victoria which visits different locations in Victoria. The aim is to promote the breed and to encourage socialisation and education among pet owners and the public. Previous walks have taken in the Botanic Gardens, a ferry to Queenscliff, and parts of Melbourne. Also, the samoyed Santa sled team tows Santa through shopping centres

at Mornington and Mt Eliza and childcare centres and nursing homes around Melbourne each year. Last year members participated in the “I Gave a Woof” fundraiser at Rosebud, a fund raising effort by The Angel Op Shop’s Pink Angels. Club members say samoyeds have lovely temperaments and patiently allow young children to snuggle and cuddle them. They were originally used to hunt seals, herd reindeer and haul sleds for the Samoyede people of north western Siberia, and were treated as members of the family. For more information about the club’s monthly pet walks, puppy inquiries or general information, visit samoyedclubvictoria.com All samoyed owners are welcome to come along and join the fun.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Certificates awarded for good work Compiled by Melissa Walsh HOW would you treat your husband if you found he were a German spy? Come and see at the Red Cross Dramatic Entertainment by St Paul’s Club next Wednesday night. *** “IS war ever right?” Come and hear the dialogue at St Paul’s Club dramatic entertainment, at Frankston on Wednesday. All money taken at the door goes to the local Red Cross Fund—no expenses. *** THE many friends of Mr Corlett Senr, of Langwarrin will be pleased to hear that he is recovering from his illness and hopes to be about as usual in a few days. *** THE President of the Shire (Cr W. J Oates) will officially open the Mornington Junction Miniature Rifle Range this afternoon at 3pm, All interested in rifle shooting are given a cordial invitation. *** THE friends of Mr D Downs, who recently enlisted and went into camp, will regret to hear that be is dangerously ill with meningitis, and is at present in the Alfred Hospital. *** WE regret to learn that Mr C. O’Connell, who met with a serious accident some months ago, by being thrown from his jinker, is still confined to his bed, and it will still be some time before he is able to return to Frankston.

*** THE Hon Treasurer of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund desires to acknowledge the donation, through Mr W. H. Prosser, of the sum of £1 10s from the Wesleyan Sunday School prize winners. They unanimously decided to forego their prizes and donate the value of them to the above Fund. *** THE many friends of Mr. J. E. Ridout will regret to hear of his death, which occurred at his residence, Frankston on Friday evening, 20th inst. On Tuesday previous a blood vessel on his brain burst, and he gradually became unconscious, and died as above stated. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew him and his loss will be sincerely mourned by his wife and family, and a large circle of friends. The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery on Sunday afternoon, the Rev R. Jackson officiating at the grave. *** MR C. W. Murray of Langwarrin, left on Wednesday last by the S.S. Katoomba for West Australia. As he for some time past has filled the position of hon secretary to the progress Association and correspondent of the school committee, his departure has left those positions vacant. So far no one seems willing to fill those positions, but it is hoped someone will be public spirited enough to fill the gap and keep those public institutions on the road to well doing. ***

WE have again to record this week, of several of our Peninsula lads being wounded at the Dardanelles; and unfortunately of the death of Private Colin Thomas, of Somerville, who succumbed to his wounds, while in the hospital ship, and Private Norman Tetley, who was killed while in action. Private A. Meldrum, of Somerville, is reported wounded, and Lieut.Corporal W L Cooke, of Flinders, as ill. *** A very happy evening was enjoyed on Saturday last August 21st at Seaford, where a concert and social was arranged by the Church of England in aid of the fund to reduce the debt. The musical part of the evening was arranged by Mrs Glidden, who, with help of Miss Draper as accompanist, trained about twenty children as a choir. The children sang very delightfully four sacred songs, and pleased everyone. Others who took part in the programme were Mr and Mrs Galway, and Mr M. Galway, the Misses Longmore, Mrs Armstrong, Mr Peebles, and Mr Hoare. At the end of the musical programme supper was served, and a short dance completed the evening’s enjoyment. *** THE hon. sec. (Dr Plowman) of the fund for presentation to volunteers recently enlisted from Frankston and the immediate district, desires to acknowledge the receipt of the following donations to the fund :—Lieut.

The whole of the takings are to go to the Red Cross Fund. Some of the items will be appropriate to the occasion, for example a dialogue on “Peace and War”, and a dramatic item entitled “The Spy”. Songs and other musical items will be also on the programme, which will include a farce entitled “An Interrupted Proposal”. At the end of the programme a short dance will be held, and Mr and Miss Cowan have kindly promised to supply the music, with flute, piccolo and piano. It is hoped the social, admission for which will be one shilling, will be well attended. Two or three raffles will be drawn during the evening, notably one for a pug puppy, and one for a doll.

ing junior certificates from the Department of Education to eight of the scholars who had passed the necessary test for juniors in swimming, diving, floating and methods of resuscitation. The chairman of the Board (Mr E.M’Comb) in presenting the certificates, impressed on the children the necessity of going still further than they had gone, and thus being able to compete for a higher grade when the Department sent an officer to examine them. The following are the names of the successful competitors:—Nancy Cameron, Lexie Richardson, Christina Hay, Ivy Bray, Arthur Gale, Geo Bradbury Raymond Coxall, and Hector M’Comb. After the presentations the children sang the National Anthem, and Mr Richardson (the head teacher) returned thanks to the Board on behalf of the children, who were then dismissed. The members of the Board, after an inspection of the school, were invited by Mrs Richardson to partake of a cup of tea ,which was much appreciated, and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the lady for her kindness. *** ALEX Scott and Co. report,— A moderate supply of both milkers and springers, prices on the whole being without alterations.

See an expert, avoid tax scams THE Australian Taxation Office has warned investors not to be fooled by legitimate-looking tax avoidance schemes. ATO deputy commissioner Tim Dyce said illegal schemes are usually designed to appear legitimate, even to experienced investors, but there are telltale signs you can look out for. “Tax avoidance schemes aren’t always the ‘too good to be true’ types. They can be more sophisticated than many people realise,” Mr Dyce said. In particular, Mr Dyce advised people to watch out for complex structures and unusual financing arrangements such as round robin financing and non-recourse loans. “If the main purpose of the arrangement is to reduce your assessable income by claiming deductions you are not entitled to, without any real investment, it is likely to be a scheme.” In one case, promoters offered a ‘mortgage management plan’ promising to assist investors in repaying their home loan sooner. The scheme involved using the equity in their home to get additional loans for the purpose of claiming investment deductions equivalent to home loan interest payments. It’s not just the design of the arrangement you have to look out for, but also what the promoter is promising and asking from you in return. “We often see promoters of illegal

arrangements guaranteeing that their product is ‘no risk’. They’ll also encourage you to keep the arrangement a secret or discourage you from seeking independent advice,” Mr Dyce said. The ATO encourages anyone unsure about a tax investment they have been offered to seek a second opinion from an independent and trusted tax professional. “At the end of the day, when it all goes wrong, it will be you and not just the promoter, who will have to face the penalties.” Be wary of promoters that: n Offer zero-risk guarantees for their product. n Refer you to a particular adviser or expert. They may seek to persuade you by claiming the adviser has specific knowledge about the arrangement and the promised tax benefits. n Ask you to maintain secrecy to protect the arrangement from rival firms. n Discourage you from obtaining independent advice. n Do not have a product disclosure statement or prospectus for the product. Watch the ATO’s ‘Get a second opinion’ YouTube video for more details at www.ato.gov. au/general/tax-planning/second-opinion For more information about how to get out of a scheme and report illegal arrangements and promoters see www.ato.gov.au/general/taxplanning

A Grain of Salt TWO years for Collingwood’s Lachie Keefe and Josh Thomas and $50,000 apiece? Like a thousand others on any one night they took an illegal drug which apparently included a performing enhancement. So much for Collingwood looking after “their boys”. Everyone scampering to come out of it with halos. Worse still the Essendon boys. Three years now. “They had a choice”? What choice if they refused? Ten years focussed on “making it” with the probability of bye byes for a supplements refusal? The first choice was to protect those kids, lying and leaking unabated. For the good of the game? Nathan Buckley suggested it may be the making of his two boys; sweet nonsense. The clubs, ASADA, WADA, AFL, Herald Sun, The Age, Fox Footy. Like most politicians; hypocrites. *** Nathan Buckley, James Hird and Michael Voss; champion footballers not necessarily champion coaches. James Hird blamed the AFL as expected, never him, then added “it’s about the players”, a shade late James? Rather sad, but it’s difficult to shed tears for millionaires. Tony Shaw on extending Nathan’s contract: “I thought they might have gone a bit too hard a bit too early in dumping really talented players”. Shaw being the first to call for Heath Shaw to be dropped; a convenient memory. If Nathan could coach half as well as he talks my once mighty Magpies would be right up there. *** Dear Danny Andrews, (John Kennedy, ex-Hawthorn coach “Don’t think, do!”); GF Eve holiday and a $220,000 logo design for nine

months work? Don’t hurry yourself Mr Popularity Premier. No surprise regarding the suggested bias of Commissioner Dyson Heydon. We knew this before and after his comments on Julia Gillard’s evidence, well before Billy stepped up to the plate. Always amusing; the assumption judges are beyond reproach. Nobody is beyond reproach. Imagine Gillian Trigg at a Labor fundraiser? *** All those labour saving devices in the 50s to 80s have disintegrated. The sheer need to keep up with technology is overwhelming. The more I let one go the further I get behind, to the point of near surrender. A word processor, Google and away we go; once upon a time. Now they upgrade, be it software or new models, and to comfort you they restrict your usage of the old model. Buy a new one or stay behind to the point of more confusion, more money and memory breakdown. I assume (on the basis of George Orwell’s prediction) we are but a step away from security control through our screens. Therein lies the danger of emitting wind being interpreted as a boo? *** $40 billion on Navy ships in South Australia. Why?...Nick Kyrgios sentenced to all of January in Rye?... What goes on in the bedroom stays in the bedroom, when the wife and kids are out for the day?...“Humour is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place” [Mark Twain]..“And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges” [Shakespeare]...

Frankston Times 24 August 2015

*** This is my last column. 130,000 words is quite enough. I’m saddling up my horse and riding into the setting sun. My hero (Hopalong Cassidy) has lived through his adventures, and, when it was over, he got on his horse and rode into the sunset. What happened when he disappeared over the horizon with Lucky and California? What happens after the “The End” placard covers the screen? Do they take time off before finding another adventure? Do they die of wounds suffered during those 66 movies? Do they live happily ever after in some frontier town? Not a bit of it. They run out of daylight puff, camping quietly in a unit, listening to a Roy Rogers CD, or Gene Autrey. Rear of the Rye shopping precinct, dodging psychologists, doctors and councillors, happily ever after until the big fellow calls it quits. As the saying goes “I’ve been everywhere mate”; 20 years as a public servant, 37 at racetracks, 40 in theatre and television, freelance activities including eight years with this column. The consistent thread throughout is trying to dodge morons. I’m not referring to acquaintances, relatives, people you say hello to etc, always taken at face value. I’ve got my faults, probably more than I realise and like everything there are pluses; working with someone you respect, who in the scheme of things is better than you in matters which concern your outlook on life or simply the job at hand. I’ve been lucky, not often but enough to give me strength. It’s the others who are my problem, those you work with in one

By Cliff Ellen form or another, sometimes bosses, sometimes equals who for reasons best known to themselves adopt a position of superiority but in my eyes suffering from a defect of reason, in most cases a high selfopinion which I see as a mirage. Am I complaining? No. Simply letting it out there. I’ve often been asked if a particular piece I wrote was about “them”. Not true. General pieces have never been about any particular person, unless I named them. If it occurs to you when reading this piece I may be referring to you, then my guess is the chances are you’re most likely close to correct...for once.

I’m reliably informed an upmarket swisho villa in Bali away from the madding crowd with the ocean as your view, serviced by a maid, cook and perhaps a lover (or two) can be had on a 12 months lease for $15,000. A life of Reilly for less than my pension. True, one or two shonky adjustments to cover the Centrelink gestapos, but so tempting. Mind you, with my luck the Islamic State, now gaining prominence in Indonesia, may well conclude I’m a Christian, equalling danger to life and limb. Worth the risk? Keep yourselves nice... www. ello8.com cliffie9@bigpond.com

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

These are the ties that bind By Stuart McCullough IT’S hard to be ‘the one’. Fate can play some pretty nasty pranks from time to time and, without really meaning to, you might find yourself being held responsible for an absolute disaster. No one wants to be the person who undoes a good idea. There’s not a soul on this earth who deliberately sets out to be the one that sinks the ship whilst simultaneously slaying the golden goose. It was a decade before they could make another Batman after George Clooney was done with him. Poor George. It wasn’t his fault the whole thing stunk like a week-old trout in the sun. He was simply in the wrong place in the wrong time. There is no franchise as beloved as Star Wars. I was never a fanatic, but that one trip to the Burwood Drive-In in the family Volkswagen remains one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. I knew nothing of it when we arrived. By the time we left, my life had been forever changed. Star Wars was to become a defining part of my childhood, something I’d talk about with classmates. I had action figures, the classic Luke Skywalker haircut and a light saber for about thirty seconds after I received it as a gift for Christmas but promptly bent in half during an overly vigorous duel with my brother. But after three films, George Lucas wisely called time; leaving behind a fantastic, epic story that each new generation of moviegoers can discover for themselves. Then, of course, he changed his mind. After years of begging, the public were finally getting what they had so

long demanded – more Star Wars films were on the way. New films meant new creatures which, in turn, meant new merchandise that could appear on lunchboxes the world over and be purchasable as plastic figurines. They must have had such high hopes. Enter

Jar Jar Binks. You’ve got to feel a little sorry for him. Prior to The Phantom Menace, he was just quietly going about his life, working as a barista and an organic whole foods café called ‘The Mighty Turnip’, supplementing his income by

picking up occasional gigs as an actor. He’d appeared as Blanche’s loveinterest in an episode of The Golden Girls and been a back-up singer / dancer for Madonna on her ‘Who’s That Girl’ world tour but had never really threatened to breakout as a bona fide star. But, one fateful night, everything changed, after Jar Jar got a message on his pager to call George Lucas. Imagine it. Someone tells you they’re going to change your life forever by putting you in one of the most anticipated movies of the decade. Then they tell you you’ll be playing the role of a Gungan from the planet Naboo. So far, so weird. But regardless of how strange it might sound, Jar Jar would have consoled himself with the thought that these people were responsible for some pretty wonderful films and, doubtless, they knew what they were doing. With the benefit of hindsight, Jar Jar might also have paused to consider that these very same people were also responsible for Howard the Duck, one of the most spectacular cinematic flops within memory, living and dead and even not quite feeling itself. When The Phantom Menace was finally unleashed on an expectant public, the results were mixed. It was, without a shadow of a doubt, a huge financial success, paving the way for two further films. But things did not go so well for Jar Jar. To say that his performance was poorly received is like describing the maiden voyage of the Titanic as leaving room for improvement. Put simply, it was a disaster for the aspirant actor. Jar Jar Binks

has since been described as one of the most reviled characters in film history. Jar Jar Binks appeared in the next two installments but in a drastically reduced role. Inevitably, the work dried up. Madonna changed her musical direction. Blanche from The Golden Girls no longer returned his calls. Jar Jar got bumped from barista to clearing tables at ‘The Mighty Turnip’. He withdrew from public life, even quitting as keyboard player for Keanu Reeves’ band, ‘Dogstar’. In the process of moving house, there have been many discoveries. Perhaps most startling of all is that I appear to possess any number of neckties that I would only ever wear at gunpoint. As I was sorting through a pile of ties, there was one that caught my attention. Black and made a synthetic material that was both unpleasant to the touch and (probably) highly flammable, there was a picture at the bottom. There, at the end of the tie, was a picture of Jar Jar Binks, smiling as though he hadn’t a care in the world. I have no idea why I have a Jar Jar Binks necktie and cannot imagine a circumstance under which I’d wear it to work. But that’s not the point. Rather, it’s a reminder of another time. One where Jar Jar thought the world was not merely his oyster but his seafood platter. Where anything was possible. Now it’s a souvenir of an unmitigated disaster. Soon there will be another Star Wars film. But as you await its release, spare a thought for the guy clearing coffee cups at The Mighty Turnip. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

LENNON: YESTERDAYS IN THE LIFE By Neil Walker The dark side of Lennon’s character could be hurtful to those close to the late Beatle but Waters says people who have seen the show who knew Lennon reckon Waters and D’Arrietta’s Glass Onion show captures the essence of the man who they could not help but forgive.

“I would love to be Doctor Who!” Actor and musician John Waters’ declaration has been prompted by mint magazine’s suggestion the 66-year-old would be a perfect choice to play the Time Lord in BBC TV’s longrunning sci-fi show now the Beeb has seen sense and is skewing older in its casting of the good Doctor in the form of current incarnation Peter Capaldi.

“He was rejected by both his parents and brought up by his aunt so there was a lot of anger there,” he says. “I found him to be a very angry man and most of the people who’ve seen my show who knew him said ‘he was a really nice guy but he couldn’t help the anger, it came out and made him quite prone to some violent outbursts now and then’. He did have that side to him.”

While mint hopes the Scotsman does not immediately vacate the TARDIS there will come a time – as for all 11 of his Doctor Who predecessors – for the 57-year-old Capaldi to regenerate. “Of course, the body is only a vehicle for The Doctor but I think he looks better when he’s older,” Waters says.

Before heading to the US to perform the Lennon show, Waters and D’Arrietta had to seek Yoko Ono’s permission to stage the Glass Onion show off Broadway.

“I think the original Doctor William Hartnell was fantastic because I was around for him but there’s been a few good ones.”

“I think she’s always supported it and thinks it’s a good idea,” Waters says.

You read it here first. The time could soon be right for the first Australian Doctor Who. Kind of. Waters was born in London but he is also an Aussie, spending time between this country and England between acting jobs.

“There’s no big money in it for her because her percentage of our percentage is pretty tiny so it’s more about protecting the image and I understand why she does that I think she does a great job. She’s been fabulous with us. We got great reviews in New York and we were relaxed because we knew we had her full backing.”

This push to install Waters as the next Doctor is thanks to his role as D’arcy in hugely-successful TV comedy drama Offspring, since mint reckons there was an almost Jon Pertwee-ian sparkle to the character, the father of Asher Keddie’s Nina.

Waters admires Ono (“We couldn’t have done the show without Yoko’s support”) and remembers the harsh public criticism she copped at the height of The Beatles’ career in the 1960s.

But enough Doctor Who. Let’s talk another UK cultural icon: John Lennon.

“Yoko was reviled by the press. They slagged her off all the time and used racist epithets about her, called her ‘inscrutably Oriental’ and all that and she really supported John. She herself was an avant-garde artist of very high standing in her own right in New York City.”

Waters has been “playing” the role of Lennon on and off since 1991 when he had the idea for a stage show based on the former Beatles man’s life and he’s bringing the show to Frankston Arts Centre in early September.

In fact, Waters believes Ono was pivotal to the success of much of Lennon’s best later music.

Thankfully Waters doesn’t dress up as and impersonate Lennon, rather he tries to capture the attitude and spirit of the legendary singersongwriter.

“Even though his angry political songs were good in that decade it was great to hear him going back to those great groove-based pop songs he was so good at writing. Songs like (Just Like) Starting Over.

“I wanted it to be based around the songs and what they said about him because they are quite autobiographical. I also based what I was doing on some of the things he had said and his attitudes. I’d read enough and followed enough through the newspapers, ever since I was 16 really.”

“It’s a Yoko word ‘Imagine’. It’s a whole concept by her about bringing something into existence by imagining it. She did contribute to John’s work in a major way because she was the biggest influence in his life at that time.”

While interest in Lennon’s life has risen in the past two decades – boosted by the likes of Oasis singing his praises during the Britpop boom of the ‘90s to a generation not around in the ‘60s – Waters says no-one had thought about staging a show about his life and songs a decade after Lennon’s death in 1980. At first, Waters decision to rope in musical partner Stewart D’Arrietta to perform the Lennon: Through A Glass Onion show was a pragmatic one despite the actor’s love of The Beatles’ and Lennon’s music. “The short answer is ‘unemployment’. You’re looking around for something to do in one of those down times,” he says. “My career was good but I just had ‘a hole’ and guys I knew who ran the entertainment room at The Tilbury Hotel in Woolloomooloo in Sydney said ‘Hey, we’ve got a spare three weeks coming up in a month’s time, do you have a show you could do?’ and I went ‘yep’ but hadn’t actually thought about it at that stage.” Co-opting D’Arrietta proved to be the start of a long and winding road for the Glass Onion show which made its way to Lennon’s adopted home city – New York – two years ago, decades after its first small shows in the Sydney suburb in 1991.

Frankston Times 24 August 2015

Fast forward forty years or so – and three decades since the Glass Onion show made its debut – and the spirit of John Lennon is still very much alive and heading to Frankston next month.

Waters was thrilled by the audience reaction to the show in New York during a sold-out 122 shows run off Broadway at the Union Square Theatre. “We loved it ... I think John Lennon is more revered in New York than anywhere else, including Liverpool. They just loved him there. They loved the way he’d chosen their town and adopted it and thought very highly of New York. He was recognised on the streets but they left him alone and that’s what he liked about it. New York is like that. There’s a lot of famous people walking down the street and nobody really bothers about them too much.” But, much like Lennon’s real-life character, there was a dark side to the freedom afforded the famous in The Big Apple when Lennon was callously shot and murdered. “Rather tragically that was what killed him in

the end – his accessibility and a random lunatic thing that happened to him because of his celebrity,” Waters says. It’s this premature end to Lennon’s life that Waters credits with keeping the Glass Onion show alive in audiences’ minds. “People didn’t realise they felt as much as they do about Lennon, about the tragedy of a man who’s just really actually reached a pinnacle of peace in his own life and his own head ... settling down and calming down. “So suddenly for it all to end there it gives people an emotional jolt and I think there’s no stage show that lasts the distance unless it has an emotional impact. I didn’t know how to strive for that, being a bit of first timer when I put it together, but it must have hit the target. It does provoke an emotional reaction in people.”

After that, the show must go on to the Edinburgh International Festival in August. It began as “something to do between gigs” for Waters but has morphed into something bigger than he ever anticipated. “It has sort of taken over my life to a certain extent,” he says. But then Lennon and The Beatles had dominated many days in his life since Waters’ mid-teens. “I was born in late 1948 so was 16 when The Beatles arrived so I was really in that dead set target audience. It dominated all of our lives. It wasn’t really a case of whether you were a Beatles fan or not, The Beatles were the soundtrack for us.” And a soundtrack for subsequent generations. Lennon: Through a Glass Onion will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre, 27-37 Davey St, Frankston on Saturday 12 September, 8pm. See artscentre.frankston.vic.gov.au or call 9784 1060 for bookings.

The goal is to create woollen blankets which can then be donated to the Frankston Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Special Care Nurseries. This will be located inside the Gingerbread House. Alternatively, the local community can donate already made knitted squares that will then be used to create the blankets. 8 ply wool is used and they are asking for 40 x 40 stitch squares. Facebook Competition Make sure you keep an eye out on Karingal Hub’s Facebook page for your chance to win 1 of 10 Family Village / Star Zone experiences. All shoppers do is take a selfie in front of the house and post it on the Karingal Hub Facebook Page with the hashtag #winteratkaringal.

KARINGAL Hub is a real winter wonderland at the moment with a 4 metre x 4 metre gingerbread house in the centre court. There is mouldable snow at the front of the house and a campfire/picnic area at the back. The house is covered with real gingerbread men (supplied from the local Hosome Gingerbread Factory). The inside features furniture and customers are invited to use it as a relax/chill out zone. Competition A $4,000 winter holiday package to New Zealand is up for grabs! To enter: n Spend a minimum of $20 at any specialty retailer in one transaction. n Present your receipt to our friendly hostess at Centre Court. n Fill out the entry form and return it back to the hostess to go in the draw. n The winner will be drawn on Thursday 3rd of September 2015.

Hillmen rocket into finals NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED Hill will take enormous momentum into its Elimination final against Hastings this weekend after belting Dromana to the tune of 86 points on Saturday. The Hillmen have won four matches in a row by an average margin of 59 points and have regained that confidence that eluded them in the middle part of the season. The Hillmen’s last two wins against Dromana and Frankston Bombers have been by 86 and 113 points respectively. Red Hill beat Hastings at the start of the month (three rounds ago) in a hard fought, tough contest by 27 points. Red Hill went into the final home and away game of the season having to beat Dromana, while relying on Sorrento to beat Rye. While Red Hill went in as favourite, it had lost to Dromana on the previous three occasions. From the very first bounce, the Hillmen got their backyard in order and opened up a 30 point lead at the first change. In the corresponding game earlier in the season, the Hillmen did the same and went on to kick just one more goal for the game. Not this time. By half time, the margin had blown out to ten goals and Red Hill had placed itself in a position to jump into the top five. Jake Mold booted five goals, Jared Eames four and teenager Danny Allsop three majors while Jake Mitchell and Daniel McNamara also dominated. Daniel Guerts and Kieran Voelkl were the best of the Tigers. After the match, Red Hill coach Tony Blackford was obviously very pleased to be part of another finals campaign. “Once you’re in Toey, anything can happen,” said Blackford. “Our game finished a lot earlier than the Sorrento v Rye game so we all got in the rooms to listen to the last ten minutes on the radio. The guys were obviously pretty excited. “We go into next week knowing we’re playing really good footy again and we were lucky enough to beat

Hastings a few weeks ago. “Finals are a different ball game altogether though and as far as I’m concerned, it all starts again. “We’ll prepare the best we can and no doubt give it our best shot. “We’re the underdogs of all the teams in the finals but we don’t plan to be there just making up numbers. We’re confident we can have a real impact if we play to our potential,” said Blackford. While Red Hill got the four points, it had to rely on Sorrento to knock over Rye. It wasn’t until the 20-minute mark of the last quarter that Red Hill could start to celebrate. Rye played the best football I had witnessed it play this season and took it right up to the Sharks. On a couple of occasions through-

out the match, it appeared as though Sorrento was going to break the game open, however, with their season on the line, the Demons kept fighting back. Scores were locked together at half time and the margin was just nine points at three quarter time in favour of the home side. The final margin was three goals, 16.10 (106) to 13.10 (88). Jon Croad was superb for the Sharks, despite not being named in their best, while Daniel Grant was also a solid four-quarter contributor. Brady Egan is a star of the competition and he was excellent for the Demons, while Adam Kirkwood was superb in the back half, despite his opponent Myles Pitt kicking three goals. The other big game everyone was

keeping an eye on was Hastings versus Rosebud. What a fizzer that turned out to be. Rosebud mauled the Blues from the first bounce and won by more than 100 points. The Buds kicked 20.12 (132) while restricting the Blues to just 4.6 (30). The Buds went into the game without Greg Bentley and Paul Kennedy and full back Chris Zurek. Chris Rogers, Jackson McRae and Brenton Payne all played in the reserves while Sean Downie was at Stingrays. Rob Forrest was at his devastating best with five goals while Ryan Spooner booted four and Tom Baker three. Matt Baker was superb on Luke Clark. Jake Hewitt and Shaun Foster were the best of the Blues. Hastings now has a week to regroup

before playing Red Hill in the knockout Elimination Final. Rosebud has been the best side all season and deserves the week off. Crib Point was put out of its misery at 4.30pm yesterday by Somerville, losing by a whopping 106 points. It’s a far cry from the club that was flying this time last year and was a genuine premiership threat. This season has been a disaster for the black and white, winning just three games for the season. Coach of the Year in 2014 Duane Annable has stepped down and the popular choice if you listen to the beating drums is that Brad Arnold will take control. The Eagles were sensational on Saturday, despite a lacklustre opposition. Make no mistake, Somerville is right there with Rosebud as the best teams in the competition. Tom Shaw booted five goals, Rowan Hogenbirk was back from a quad injury with four goals and Billy Rolfe is just winding up for a big finals series – he finished with four goals. Adrian Speedy and Justin Allsop were outstanding. Devon Meadows finished the season on a real high, winning its final four games. It beat Tyabb on Saturday 24.17 (161) to 9.14 (68). Dylan Hand booted seven goals and Beau Miller and Pat Harmes dominated. Jake Anderson kicked five majors for the Yabbies and Adrian Clay in his 150th game was outstanding. In the final game, Pearcedale finished on a high too and beat Frankston Bombers, 18.7 (115) to 12.10 (82). In what has been a tough season for both clubs, they both finished where expected. I think both clubs misunderstood the strength of the competition and there was talk of finals from both camps. Pearcedale must resign its coach Jamie Merchan and invest in additional talent. If Merchan was to go, and he doesn’t want to, I think the ripple effect could be significant. Both the Panthers and Bombers can’t keep treading the boards and expect things to improve.

Another ton for Justin Van Unen PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT Eliza full forward Justin Van Unen booted the five goals he needed against Pines on Saturday to notch his second century in the MPNFL. ‘JV’ first kicked 100 goals when he was playing for Rye in an Elimination Final and while he was still wearing the red and blue on Saturday, this time it was for the Redlegs. Van Unen had the tough job of playing on the returning Beau Hendry on Saturday, making the feat even that much more impressive. In 16 games, Van Unen has averaged almost six goals a game and he holds the key to the success of the Redlegs this season. Despite the potency of Van Unen in attack, the strong midfield group and the experienced defence, many still say Mt Eliza and the rest of the teams in the Peninsula competition are playing for second place. Many believe that Frankston YCW is by far the best team in the competition. It’s hard to argue following their shaky start. Figures don’t lie and the Stonecats are head and shoulders better in the points for and against column. Regardless, it’s not a theory that sits well with Mt Eliza coach John Georgiou. “I think it’s very disrespectful to my players and the other teams in the competition to hear we are all playing for second prize,” said Georgiou. “We didn’t play a great game against YCW the last time we played them but we’re really confident in the way we are playing. “Mornington have been very good this season too and Pines and Edithvale-Aspendale have shown that they are more than capable on their day. “I think the season is wide open for the team that brings its best on any given day. Frankston YCW has lost three games, so we know they can be beaten. “They (YCW) are a strong team, we know that, but they can be beaten.” Georgiou said there was no chance of a return for his star forward Scott Lockwood.

Redlegs manage to hold on: Despite Pines storming home, Mt Eliza won by eight points. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

“Scott has been a great player for us for a long time and unfortunately his knee won’t allow him to get up for the rest of the year,” said Georgiou. “We have made some adjustments in personnel but our structures are still the same. We’re very confident our best is still good enough,” he said. Mt Eliza’s best was good enough on Saturday against Pines. While the Pythons came storming home with a four goal to one last quarter, Mt Eliza was still able to record a pretty comfortable victory, 11.19 (85) to 11.11 (77). Sam Gill, Karl Lombardozzi and Dave Barton dominated for the Redlegs. Aaron Edwards booted four goals and Guy Hendry three for Pythons while Chris Guganovic and Shaun White also had a heap of the footy.

Mornington put the second last nail in Langwarrin’s coffin, smashing the Kangas 23.12 (150) to 8.8 (56). Langwarrin has just one more week to go in what has been an extremely frustrating season. They have been cursed with injuries again this season. They couldn’t afford one. Their coach, Gavin Artico, has resigned and its best player Rikki Johnston has accepted the Dromana coaching job. It’s highly likely that Luke O’Neil and Liam Hogan will return to the Tigers with Johnston. Who could blame them. The Langwarrin job is still a very good one for a coach that wants to invest three years. The 2015 season has been a writeoff. Jackson Calder had a field day on

Saturday with six goals for the Doggies while Daniel Moss and Warwick Miller brought their own Sherrin. Shane Paterson, Rikki J and Jarrod Amalfi, who is rumoured to have signed at Frankston Bombers, were among the best for the blue and white. Jarrod Garth booted eight goals for Edithvale-Aspendale as they torched Seaford on Saturday. The Eagles booted 14 goals to five in the second half to win 24.15 (159) to 9.11 (65). Brett O’Hanlon booted four goals and Mark Mullins and Matt Clark dominated. Dean Williamson and Brendan Doyle were the best of the Tigers. Frankston YCW opened up a 32-point quarter time lead against Bonbeach and finished with a solid 50-point win, 21.12 (138) to 13.10

(88). Ryan Santon kicked four goals and Lew Roberts and Kyle Hutchison three while Brad Ulms and Byron Barry were dominant. Jackson Casey and Jackson Sole were the best of the Sharks. Chelsea was able to turn around a real form slump to get the job done against Karingal, 17.15 (117) to 12.9 (81). Todd Gardiner was clearly the best player on the ground for the Gulls while Jayden Attard also worked pretty hard. Curtis Bywater played his best game for the club and Chris Charity booted six goals in only his fourth senior match. Zac Clements, Brad Occhipinmti and Aaron Lees were the best of the Bulls.

Dromana to announce Six say yes to Southern United its team of the century By Toe Punt DROMANA Football Club will announce its Team of the Century and Teams of the Decade over the past 70 years at a special gala function next season. All members of Teams of the Decade (TOTD) will be notified of their selection in the next six weeks to give them plenty of time to plan to attend. Almost all of these players will have met the criteria to be a member of the main team. Each of the TOTD will have a coach, captain and vice-captain, as well as an interchange of six. The Team of the Century will only feature players post World War II. This team will feature captain, coach, vice-captain and an interchange of 12. The selection committee is made up of eight Life Members, including six former players who have played a total of 1060 senior games for the club from the early 1950s. With quite a number of players being named in two TOTD, the club has a total of 142 individual players and two non-playing coaches.

Dromana Football Club would like the assistance of the footy public to locate the following nominees for the 1946-55 team or family members. They are Alan Hosking, Vern Humphreys, Ken Coy, Jack Duncan, Harold Parkes, Doug Goad, Gordon Johnson, and former Army/Balcombe member Peter Burns. Another player who the club last heard was in Western Australia and is in both 76/85 and 86/95 teams and played a total of 201 senior games is Michael James. As a matter of history, Wally Guy first played in the 1931 premiership team and was capt/coach of the 1937/40/50 teams. His younger brother Eric (later St Kilda legend) played in the 1950 premiership and in 1958 after seven years in retirement, Wally came back and played in 1958 when another brother Ivan joined the club. Former post 1940 players who played at least 175 club games have been recognised previously by the club with certificates given to family members and will have that recognition exhibited on an honour board next season.

By Craig MacKenzie A HISTORIC liaison between six local soccer clubs underpins the Women’s National Premier League of Victoria application by newly formed Southern United. Casey Comets, Mornington, Langwarrin, Seaford United, Skye United and Peninsula Strikers juniors have formed a consortium to back a single bid representing one of the largest catchment areas in Victoria. The consortium has formal backing from the City of Casey and City of Frankston and a verbal pledge of support from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. There were 22 applicants for Victoria’s inaugural WNPLV competition due to kick off next year with just eight applicants to be granted a licence. Applications closed last month and have been screened by an Assessment Panel that is preparing a report to be presented to the Football Federation Victoria board at its meeting on 28 August. FFV also created a WNPLV Assessment Support Team to assist both the panel and applicants but also to act as a go-between in terms of communica-

tion and to maintain an arm’s length approach between the panel and applicants. Applicants will be assessed on the following 13 criteria: 1. Teams 2. Youth development 3. Coaching 4. Governance 5. Organisational structure 6. Finance 7. Facilities 8. Medical 9. Reporting 10. Member protection 11. Council support for facilities 12. Track record in women’s and girls’ football, and 13. Geography. The impetus for the Southern United consortium bid initially came from Langwarrin where junior girls coach James Honey broached the subject with club president Tanya Wallace. “James was really, really keen on the elite women’s side of things and we soon realised that it was too big for one club to go it alone,” said Wallace. “We also believed that we would have a better chance of winning a licence if we took a regional approach so I contacted the presidents of the other five clubs. “To be honest I expected more opposition to the idea than what we received so it didn’t take long to form a consortium committee with repre-

sentatives from all six clubs.” Michael Woodward, former Southern region zone representative from Strikers, is the inaugural Southern United secretary and former Matilda and Victorian state goalkeeper Theresa Deas is also involved. The budget submitted with Southern United’s application forecast six-figure expenses and revenue with an anticipated profit in excess of $14,000. The club also has produced a constitution, a logo and a number of designs and colours for home and away strips with a pink trim prominent. Southern United proposes to play its home games on a rotating basis at Casey Comets, Mornington and Langwarrin as they fulfil the matchday venue criteria while training looks like being shared among the other consortium members. “Casey Comets already have a WPL team but they felt it was better to be part of the bid rather than go it alone,” Wallace added. “For all these clubs to come together like this is a first for the area and we’re pretty excited about the prospects but for now it’s just a matter of fingers crossed and hope for the best.”
