Education an art form POLYGLOT Theatre heads to Mahogany Rise Primary School, Frankston North, for an exciting collaboration called In My Skin, a multi-art film project explores identity and transition. Pupils from Mahogany Rise, pictured, and Monterey Secondary College will work alongside Polyglot’s team of artists using film, VJ-ing (a performance style that mixes music with moving visual imagery in real time), design and dance. It will be launched at 7pm on Friday 12 September at CUBE 37, Frankston Arts Centre, 27-37 Davey St, Frankston. Polyglot has worked with the same pupils for four years, encouraging them to use various artistic mediums to express themselves. “In My Skin will put these kids on the map in Frankston’s consciousness,” said project director, Kate Kantor. “Energy will be spent on paving the way for a successful transition from years 6 to 7, which is vital for the kids’ continued engagement with their learning and wellbeing, and connection to community.” Since 2001 - as part of its Kids-InControl projects - Polyglot has taken up school residencies, addressing social and cultural disparities. “This work will deepen their ability to communicate, work with others and believe in themselves,” Ms Kantor said.

City campaigns for $67m Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON is about to return to the state political spotlight with councillors holding a banner and launching a campaign outside the Parliament which has suspended the city’s elected MP. While the councillors seek to pressure state election candidates for $67
million towards five major projects, Frankston MP Geoff Shaw will be preparing to make his first appearance in parliament since being suspended over the misuse of his taxpayer funded car and fuel card. Mr Shaw’s suspension ends next Tuesday, provided he apologises to Parliament and repays $7000. However, the government last week

Asked if he would apologise to Parliament, Mr Shaw responded: "You'll find out in September." Led by the mayor Cr Darrel Taylor, Frankston councillors are urging voters to pressure all Frankston candidates for funding commitments in the leadup to the November state election. “It is highly likely that Frankston will be a critical seat to win in order to

Short term program to reduce shop vacancies Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au MOVES to tackle a 13 per cent shop vacancy rate – or 40 empty shops – in central Frankston are being made through an retail strategy launched last week. The Frankston Space Innovators program aims to fill as many empty premises as possible with approved, short-term tenants who will improve the look of the vacant shop and help attract prospective customers to the area. The first participants - Peninsula Woodturners’ Guild - is now in a once-empty shopfront in the Station St Mall. The guild will occupy the previously vacant shop for the next month showcasing crafts, performing demonstrations and selling some items. The space innovators’ program is designed to attract creative enterprises like the guild as well as home businesses and community groups with short-term – usually monthly licencing arrangements. The occupants will not have to pay rent, but will pay business outgoings. The idea is to make the empty shops more attractive to prospective tenants and help new businesses to become financially viable and, perhaps, become long-term tenants in the future. The space innovators’ program is casting its net as wide as possible, and has earmarked vacancies in Keys and Olsen streets, in the north of the CBD,
Kiss saves koala HOW lucky can a koala be? About as lucky as ‘Sir Chompsalot’ – thanks to quick work and smart thinking by members of Langwarrin CFA. The animal was injured when hit by a vehicle on the CranbourneFrankston Rd on Thursday at 5.20pm but managed to climb a gumtree out of harm’s way. A call from a member of the public to Wildlife Victoria was relayed to to Langwarrin CFA. Help was soon on its way. Langwarrin captain Sean Curtin said crews from the two brigades rushed to the scene – with Frankston’s teleboom - and were assessing the koala’s injuries when he appeared to “die” and fell out of his tree ... Quick thinking below saved the day, however, when the crew used a blanket to catch the furry fellow and revive him with CPR and oxygen therapy. Yes, the kiss of life saved his day. Out of immediate danger, lucky Sir Chompsalot was taken to the Animalia wildlife hospital on Kenilworth Av Frankston for some timely tender loving care. But it was hard to get a picture of our hero on his big day: Channel 10’s program The Project had arrived in town and commandeered all the action. No photographs were permitted, nor even a word with staff at the animal shelter. Captain Curtin says people should report injured animals to the RSPCA or Wildlife Victoria. “Fantastic work tonight by members of Langwarrin Fire Brigade, Wildlife Victoria and Frankston Fire Brigade,” the brigade’s Facebook page said. We’re sure Sir Chompsalot would agree. Stephen Taylor
and Playne and Station streets in the south and east. The council’s business development unit will approach the landlords and ask them to consider becoming part of the program. Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor said funding uncertainty and poor private investment had led to the high vacancy rates. “This figure is much too high and, while we are investing and advocating heavily for outcomes in our city centre, we need a proactive approach to change the dynamic in our retail strips,” he said. “By temporarily occupying some of the vacant shops through the Frankston Space Innovators Program we are increasing their vibrancy and appeal for the whole community and for visitors to Frankston.” The council is looking for property owners interested in participating in the program. This is being done through expressions of interest proposals from creative enterprises, home-based businesses and community groups wanting to occupy available space. A panel will assess requests and advise on their suitability. For details call the council’s economic development team on 1300 322 322 or visit frankston.vic.gov.au/business Shop front: Ian Wildish and Geoff Dicken, of the Peninsula Woodturners’ Guild, show their skills to passersby from a previously vacant shop in the Station St mall, Frankston.

Armed gang hits five servos Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au POLICE are hunting a gang of armed bandits following a spate of holdups targeting service stations across bayside and peninsula suburbs. At least five service stations have been held up at knife point so far this month and police fear the gang of three will strike again unless caught. Frankston armed robbery squad detectives are investigating the crime spree, which began with the armed holdup of a service on Thompsons Road in Patterson Lakes on Sunday 3 August. Two balaclava clad men entered the sales area of the Caltex petrol station about 8.30pm. One of the men jumped the counter and demanded cash and cigarettes while the second man threatened the attendant with a knife. The men fled to an awaiting car that is thought to have been driven by a third man. Three days later, a United service station in Marine Parade, Hastings, was robbed. On this occasion, three men all wearing balaclavas stormed into the sales area about 7pm, with two jumping the counter and threatening the attendant with knives before removing cigarettes and cash. Two days later, on 8 August, a service station in Black Rock was robbed by three men fitting the same description. The trio entered the 7 Eleven store in Balcombe Rd about 10.40pm, forcing the attendant to open a door to the console area where they again stole cigarettes and cash. On Wednesday 13 August, two bal-
aclava-clad bandits stormed into the United service station at the corner of Stony Point Rd and Disney St about 8.15pm. One of the men armed with a large knife jumped the counter and threatened sales attendant. The second man entered the both via an unlocked side door and held a knife to the back of the attendant, telling him: “We won’t hurt you, just give us all the cash and smokes.” They then opened the cash register and removed money before helping themselves to a large quantity of cigarettes. They fled to an awaiting car which then sped away. The same service station was burgled five days later when thieves smashed their way through a side wall, however, police said it was not known if the two incidents were related but that the perpetrators must have been familiar with the shop to have known how to break in. On Sunday 17 August, two men
held up a service station in Davey St, Frankston, just before 9pm. Again, the console operator was threatened with knives before cash and cigarettes were stolen. Police believe the same vehicle was used in each of the armed robberies and are appealing for public assistance to help track down it down. The vehicle, similar to the one pictured above, is described as a grey or silver early model Holden Commodore sedan, possibly a VN or similar. Detective Sergeant Al Hanson from the Frankston armed robbery unit said a similar Holden Commodore abandoned earlier this month on FrankstonFlinders Rd near the Western Port Hwy intersection had been discounted as the vehicle in question. Anyone with any information regarding the vehicle is asked to call Frankston crime investigation unit on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Humpback takes shine to water police in bay A WATER police crew on patrol in Port Phillip received a pleasant surprise last Friday when a humpback whale acquainted itself with their boat. Police were called to the coast of Mornington on Friday afternoon to ensure the safety of a whale following its sighting by members of the public. However, police said the whale seemed to have taken a fancy to their boat, coming up alongside them just metres away. “Our members stopped a few hundred metres away as to not disturb the whale,” Senior Sergeant Lachlan Holding said. “They turned their engines off to minimise noise and vibrations and that is when the whale swam over. “The whale was surfacing for about 30 seconds every five minutes. It was
Drunk driver clocked at 151km/h AN allegedly heavily intoxicated Baxter man had his car seized by police after hitting speeds of more than 150km/h on Peninsula Link last week. A Ford Falcon was spotted by police allegedly weaving in and out of traffic while speeding along the freeway at Mt Martha about 7.30pm on Tuesday. Rosebud highway patrol police pursued the car after clocking it at 151 km/h in a 100km/h zone. The 40-year-old allegedly attempted to speed away from police before being stopped. He was taken back to Rosebud police station where he returned a blood alcohol reading of .154 per cent.

rolling over onto its back. We think it may have confused our boat with another whale and that is why it was being so friendly.” The whale, which is believed to have been migrating north for the mating season, was joined by dolphins and seals in a nearby area. Senior Sergeant Holding said that the display of affection from the whale was a great moment on the job, however he would not encourage members of the public to seek out a similar experience. “There are strict regulations around how close boats and jet skis can get to marine life. It is for the safety of both the people and the animals,” he said. Recreational boats must stay 200m away from whales and 100m from dolphins.
His vehicle was impounded under the hoon legislation and he is expected to be charged with a range of offences including conduct endangering life and resisting arrest. TWO man were arrested last week over a spate of burglaries across Frankston, Mt Eliza and Mornington. Police said the 26 and 29 year-old men had been charged in connection with two burglaries in Frankston South and Mt Eliza after jewellery was found in their car when they were questioned on 19 August. They are now being investigated over at least 10 other burglaries committed in the area over the past month.

Spreading the message: Author Tricia Folvig, anti-male violence campaigner Phil Cleary and illustrator Brooke Smith at the All Men Can Be Heroes book launch at Frankston Library. Picture: Yanni
By the book way to tackle abuse DOMESTIC violence affects everyone in a family but children are often the forgotten victims. A new book aims to encourage young children and families not to suffer in silence and speak up about family violence. The author of All Men Can Be Heroes, Tricia Folvig, wrote the book in 2012 as part of a Frankston North community renewal project when she worked at Frankston Council. Illustrator Brooke Smith brought Folvig’s words to life on the page. Folvig said the idea to write the book focused on how family violence affects children came about since “there was nothing like it to help”. “The book tells the story of Lacey, a girl who is frightened and hides under
a table when her father is violent towards her mother,” Folvig said. “While there, she imagines what it would be like to have a dad who is a hero to the family instead.” She said All Men Can Be Heroes encouraged children “to tell someone they trust” about domestic abuse as a way to seek help for all concerned. Folvig stressed the book makes it clear “not all men” are violent. “Its message says ‘it’s OK to get angry, but there’s more positive ways to deal with anger’ – it’s about getting help for those who need it”, she said. Anti-male violence campaigner Phil Cleary, whose sister Vicki was murdered by her former partner in 1987, attended the book’s official launch at
Frankston Library last week. The author and former footballer and politician said the book was “profound”. “While it is a simple book, it’s a book about kids in a situation where there is violence in a family home,” he said. “From this children will learn violence in the home isn’t natural or normal and it’s something they can identify, point out and seek help about,” he said. All Men Can Be Heroes is available to borrow at Frankston libraries or buy for $10 from Frankston Library’s service desk with all proceeds going towards publishing future editions. Call Frankston library on 9784 1020 or email libraryenquiries@frankston.vic. gov.au for further information. Neil Walker

Burgers and fries help fatten up jobs outlook Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON looks set for a burgerled jobs recovery, with the state government applauding news McDonalds will open two new outlets in the region among eight additional outlets soon to open in Victoria. McDonalds last week announced new outlets would be opened this year at Carrum Downs and Langwarrin, as well as Craigieburn North, Traralgon East, Clayton South, Officer, Lara and in Lucas in Ballarat. Frankston has been particularly hard hit by rising unemployment, with 8.2 per cent of residents out of work compared to a national rate of 6.4 per cent, while more than one in five young people are looking for work. Victorian Treasurer Michael O’Brien said the new McDonalds stores would add 1000 new jobs to the state economy and see $62 million invested in local communities. Mr OBrien joined Youth Affairs Minister Ryan Smith and McDonalds state market director Mahassen Haddad last Monday to announce the openings. Ironically, the announcement came just a day after the Coalition launched a multi-million dollar anti-obesity campaign that warns tens of thousands of Victorian lives are being “cut shot” each year due to weight issues. McDonalds, the world's largest fast food chain with more than 35,000 outlets in 119 countries, has been the focus
of much public criticism and protest over its purportedly unhealthy menu offerings. However, the location of the new stores within major retail hubs at Langwarrin’s Gateway shopping centre and Carrum Downs Regional shopping centre in Hall Rd, is not expected to attract the same level of controversy generated by plans to open an outlet at Seaford. Last year McDonalds was forced to drop plans for a 24-hour restaurant opposite the beach following a fierce backlash from residents. The backdown followed an intense battle with residents in the small Yarra Ranges township of Tecoma, who argued the now-opened restaurant would damage the character of the town and adversely affect the community’s health. However, Mr O’Brien had nothing but praise for McDonalds, claiming the new outlets would provide up to 1000 extra casual, part-time and full-time work opportunities through the latest expansion. “McDonald's provides a great opportunity for young people to learn about teamwork, customer service and business operations while earning money,” he said. McDonald’s was a significant employer in Victoria, providing work for about 24,000 people across the state, while also supporting other local employers by sourcing Victorian produce such as beef, eggs, potatoes, lettuce and tomato, Mr O’Brien said. Mr Smith said the new job opportu-
nities provided by McDonalds would help young Victorians “develop lifeskills, learn about customer service and develop an idea of what they would like their career to be”. “We know that young people who hold down a part-time job early in life become more employable and gain wide-ranging skills – and these 1,000 new jobs will provide even more opportunities for motivated young people,” Mr Smith said. The announcement of the new McDonalds outlets followed the launch of “hard-hitting” state government public education campaign addressing obesity. The LiveLighter campaign features confronting images of the damage caused to bodies by weight gain, in a similar vein to tactics used in antismoking and road safety initiatives. Health Minister David Davis said the television, print and radio campaign offered a “powerful visual representation of what’s happening inside the body of those who are overweight or obese and reminds us all of how dangerous overweight and obesity is”. Opposition health spokesman Gavin Jennings said the apparently contradictory Coalition announcements showed just how disjointed the government was. “Nothing shows the confounded nature of Denis Napthine and his government when one day he is launching an anti-obesity campaign, and the next he is opening more fast food outlets,” Mr Jennings told The Times.
Rachel’s coming home RACHEL Berger is better known as a comedian who delivers rapid-fire lines with assertive virtuosity.

and fill their hearts. See the show at Frankston Arts Centre, corner Davey and Young streets, Frankston on Thursday at 8pm. Members $40, full $51, concession $47, U/30 years $30, group 10-plus $42, and Splash Card $25 (available by phone or in person only). The 75-minute show is presented by FAC and Rachel Berger.

City seeks $67m poll promise Continued from Page 1
Cr Colin Hampton and Cr James Dooley also sought and failed to gain preselection for the November poll, but for Labor. Mr Shaw, elected as a Liberal in 2010 announced he would remain in parliament as an independent after resigning from the parliamentary Liberal party on 6 March 2013 and the Liberal Party itself on 17 March this year. Known as the balance of power MP because of the Coalition government’s slim hold on power and need for his support, Mr Shaw was in a strong position to influence government policy. However, with the government now heading towards an election and with most of its major legislation out of the way it can freely try to embarrass Mr Shaw and promote its chosen candidate for Frankston, Sean Armistead. Cr Taylor has frequently been photographed alongside Mr Armistead and government MPs visiting the city. Also running for Frankston is Labor’s Paul Edbrooke and the Australian Greens’ Jeanette Swain. Mr Shaw holds Frankston with an estimated 0.4 per cent margin following a redistribution of boundaries late last year. He won the seat before the boundary change with a comfortable 4.14 per cent margin. With the state candidates firmly in their sights the politically diverse Frankston councillors want them to commit to giving $12m towards a waste transfer station; $1.5m each to developing a business case to redevelop the transport interchange and electrification of the railway line to Baxter; $9m for a “health and human services hub�; $38.5m for sport and recreation; and $4.5m for “foreshore completion�.
Cr Taylor said council would let residents know about candidates’ responses. “We will be telling politicians and the candidates that not only will they be hearing from us in coming weeks, but they can expect the people of Frankston City to be calling, tweeting, writing and knocking on their doors with their demands,� Cr Taylor said in a news release announcing Monday’s demonstration on the steps of Parliament. “We have done a lot of the planning and preparation for these five priorities and have committed funding to all key areas, but because we are a key centre for Melbourne’s south and the Mornington Peninsula, it’s not right that our ratepayers should foot the entire bill for the upgrades that are required.� Cr Taylor said candidates would be given the results of an online residents’ survey. “Whether you’re a mad tweeter, letter writer, or love to make phone calls, we have all the addresses, phone numbers and twitter handles of sitting members and the candidates,� he said in urging residents to visit the city’s website. “For the more tech savvy we have created #speakupforfrankston which we would encourage everyone to use to get the message out.� Frankston City Council website: frankston.vic.gov.au

the Bauer Brief August 2014 IT was a privilege to be at the launch of Victoria’s Journey of Remembrance at Patterson River Secondary College. The event marks the start of a number of commemorative events to mark 100 years since the Gallipoli campaign and to honour all Victorians who served and died during World War 1. Every student will be presented with a special pack to mark the anniversary, which includes a replica of the 1919 Children’s Peace Medal given to children under 16. For more information on centenary events, go to www.anzaccentenary.vic.gov.au ON the same day, I joined the Premier and Health Minister David Davis on a tour of the $81 million Frankston Hospital redevelopment which will double the physical size of the hospital’s emergency department and add three new hospital wards. This emergency department is one of the busiest in the state with close to 60,000 attendees each year, and the expansion will help meet that demand. I ALSO attended the official opening of Banyan Fields Child and Family Centre in Carrum Downs with Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell and Frankston Mayor Darrel Taylor. The centre includes three kindergarten rooms with capacity for 99 children, three consulting rooms for maternal and child health nurses and other paediatric health professionals and a community room. Early childhood intervention services for children with disabilities and developmental delay are also being provided at the centre. The state Government provided $1.29 million to the project, adding to Frankston City Council’s $2.14 million investment. PATTERSON Lakes resident Bill Walstab is proof that one man with a good idea can make a huge difference to others. At a Kingston Cabinet meeting late last year, Bill raised the issue of bicycles crowding the first door of the first carriage of trains and making it difficult for people who rely on mobility aids to board. As a result, ‘no-cyclists’ signs will be painted on the platform in line with the first door, and platforms on the Frankston line will be fitted with new ramps to allow people with mobility aids to board trains. It is hoped the $4.5 million initiative will be rolled out across the network.

The Champ: Johnny Famechon at a fundraiser at Frankston RSL to raise money to build a statue in his honour. Picture: Gary Sissons
Statue fight going distance FUND raising efforts to erect a statue in Ballam Park to honour former boxer Johnny Famechon have almost passed the half-way mark after a dinner and auction of memorabilia held at Frankston RSL last weekend. The Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame is leading efforts to raise $180,000 to build a life-sized bronze statue of the champ who has lived in Frankston with his wife Glenys since 1970. “Fammo” was born in France in 1945 and moved to Australia at the age of five. Over a 20-year boxing career, he won 56 bouts (20 by KO), had six draws and five losses. Fammo defeated Cuban Jose Legra in 1969 to become WBC Featherweight World Champion and defended his title twice in two fights against Japan’s Fighting Harada. The first fight with the Japanese champ ending in a points decision called “controversial” at the time, but Fammo set the record straight by knocking Harada out in the fourteenth round in a rematch in Japan. After losing the WBC title in 1970 in Rome to Mexican Vicente Saldivar in a
close points decision, Fammo retired from boxing soon afterwards. Fammo was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Los Angeles in 1997. He was hit by a car while out running on a visit to Sydney in 1991 and suffered lifechanging injuries including an acquired brain injury. Johnny Famechon statue committee member Gary Luscombe said the latest fundraiser at Frankston RSL “was a good night” and Frankston’s boxing fraternity was out in force to support Fammo. “We’ve raised just over $80,000 so far and hope to fund most of the rest needed by offering naming rights on plaques at the statue,” he said. Mr Luscombe said 68 plaques, one for each of Fammo’s career bouts, will be set into the base of the Johnny Fameschon statue and naming rights can be bought for $1000 per plaque. He said the cost of a plaque can be split between several people but text must be restricted to 70 characters. See www.australianboxingmemorabilia. com/plaques or call Gary Luscombe on 0433 712 323 for further information on plaque sponsorship.

Net gain for 7000 more homes Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au MORE than 7000 homes across the Frankston region will soon be able to access high-speed fibre optic internet services through the National Broadband Network following the commencement of “build preparation works”. Pre-construction work such as clearing existing telecommunications pits began last week in a number of new locations to prepare the way for the laying of fibre optic cables and construction of central “nodes” from which individual residences and businesses will be connected. The latest works are focussed on suburbs in the city’s east on either side of Cranbourne Rd, including Langwarrin, Langwarrin South and Frankston South, in addition to Mt Eliza. An adjoining area of Karingal will be the first neighbourhood within the muninicipalty to be connected to the NBN, with fibre optic cables going into the ground last month. The latest works takes the total number of addresses within the Dunkley electorate on course for connection to the NBN by the end of the year to more than 15,000. A timetable for the rest of Frankston, including the city centre, and Mornington Peninsula are yet to be revealed after the Coalition government pulled the plug on Labor’s NBN plans pending a “comprehensive review” of costs, areas of coverage and modes of delivery. Federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson said the latest works represented an important milestone for the area and provided greater certainty for homes and businesses. “The message is clear – superfast broadband is on its way,” Mr Billson said. He said build preparation sites would be established for around 2500 premises in Langwarrin, 2100 in Langwarrin South and 2600 in Frankston South and Mt Eliza. “Work will be visible in streets as pre-construction activity begins, such as the clearing of Telstra’s pits and ducts, before the fibre-to-thepremises network is built. “This is great news for the electorate with construction or build preparation work underway to connect more than 15,100 premises across Frankston, Langwarrin and Langwarrin South.” Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who visited Frankston last month to inspect progress on the NBN, said the latest build preparation works demonstrated the government’s commitment to getting the rollout “back on track”. The previous federal Labor government committed to providing high-speed internet to every home within the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region via direct connection to the fibre optic network. However, the Coalition said ALP plans were hazy, unrealistic and unfeasible and ordered a full re-evaluation of internet options. That view was backed up an independent audit of the NBN conducted by former Telstra director and Productivity Commission chief Bill Scales, who said the ALP plan was “rushed, chaotic and inadequate” and lacked an adequate

business case and cost-benefit analysis. While details of the Coalition’s new NBN plan for Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula aren’t due to be released until later this year, Mr Turnbull has made clear that the ALP’s “fibre to the home” model was not economically viable and that “a range of technologies” such as wireless broadband and continued use of aging copper lines would be utilised. To reign the “exorbitant” cost of connecting homes directly to the fibre optic network, especially in regional and sparsely population areas, the Coalition has implemented a “fibre to the node” model under which fibre optic cables are laid to central hubs and existing copper lines continue to provide connection to individual addresses. The Coalition’s NBN policy has been criticised in many quarters and by the government’s own estimates will deliver internet speeds of only about one quarter that promised by a full fibre to the home option. But Mr Turnbull said the Coalition would deliver high speed internet to the peninsula far sooner – and cheaper – than the ALP plan, with connection promised by the end of 2016 rather than the 2022. He said the Coalition had prioritised NBN rollout to areas most in need such as Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, which has been dogged by woeful internet and mobile phone access. “The Government will continue to look at ways to make the NBN faster and more affordable than
the previous government's plan and will work with the private sector to ensure efficient delivery and rollout,” Mr Turnbull said. Mr Billson said the ALP’s inadequate planning had forced the Coalition to go back to the drawing board to re-evaluate the best broadband option for the peninsula region. He said Labor had committed to the NBN project without any real sense of how long it would take, how much it would cost or whether a government-owned monopoly was “up to the job of getting it done”. “Since entering government, the Coalition has embarked on a series of important reforms to ensure that mistakes like those made by Labor are not repeated,” Mr Billson said. “A policy audit has found Labor built their NBN policy on a series of catastrophic failures. Labor refused to do their homework and bullied the public service and industry into accepting its flawed answers.” “These include a reliance on flawed advice; its determination to create an entirely new policy in 11 ‘chaotic’ weeks; a refusal to conduct an independent cost-benefit analysis; an abandonment of normal cabinet processes to ‘rubber stamp’ its policy; and preventing the public service from giving frank and fearless advice.” The Coalition was conducting a strategic review of the “true costs” and timeframe of the project, as well as a cost-benefit analysis, the details of which will be released in the September 2014 quarter.

Worthy cause close to Tom’s heart TOM Macauley raised money for a cause dear to his heart at the Devilbend Fun Run on Sunday 17 August. It will go towards helping his mum, Annitta, who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Tom,10, was one of 500 athletes competing at the annual fundraiser organised by the Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club. Runners tackled cross country races over 5, 10 and 21.1 kilometres – a half marathon – at the Devilbend Natural Features Reserve, Graydens Rd, Tuerong to raise money for worthwhile projects. In keeping with the “devil” theme, a devil parade was held before the start of racing, with the best 10 devil lookalikes selected. Those who completed their event in costume had their entry fees refunded. Winners of the major races were: half marathon (men) Dion Finocchiaro 73 minutes; women Kylie Sprague,
91 minutes. 10km: Lachlan Aspinall 37 minutes, Jodie Kerr 42 minutes; 5km Shane Strahan 19.19, Kailyn O’Connor 20.54. They each received a trophy and sponsor’s prize. Organiser Richard Does hadn’t counted all the money raised by Monday morning, but he thinks it will probably be the same as last year’s $8000. “It’s a great little community event that we hold in the first week of August,” he said. Those taking part can nominate a worthwhile charity – just like Tom did – with other beneficiaries including the Lions Club and Men’s Shed. The scenic picnic area and surrounding reserves are ideal for cross country runs and for raising money for the club, which competes in regular Athletics Victoria events and weekend club racing.

Juniors have been playing for 50 years IT is finals time again, but not just any finals season. This year marks the 50th year of the Frankston and District Junior Football League. The league started in 1965 with seven under-13 teams and today brings together 15 clubs. The finals kicked off last weekend with the first of 64 games across the finals series. Across those 64 games, there will be about 1300 junior footballers competing from 11 different clubs. The junior footy finals bring together kids, families, footy fanatics and communities. The atmosphere at the finals is electric; it’s a great time to really celebrate junior football and the community. With overall support from the Frankston and District Junior Football League, Langwarrin Junior Football Club is again hosting the finals, but
this year in partnership with Devon Meadows. Devon Meadows joined the league in 2014. “It’s great to be sharing the finals with Devon Meadows, we welcome them to the league and we really want them to feel part of our Junior Footy community,” Langwarrin club president Graham Pryde said. Other key supporters in the final series are Langwarrin (Senior) Football Club, Frankston umpires and the Frankston Coast Guard. This year the league introduced both a youth girls and junior girls football competition. Across the six teams in the youth age group (under-13 to under-17 ) and four teams in the junior age group (under-11 to under-13) there are more than 250 girls who have taken up the sport.
This is a fantastic achievement. This finals series will see the youth girls competing for their inaugural premiership cup. Junior League president Stuart Mason is proud of the achievements of the League and stands by its slogan Supporting the Community – Building Outstanding Citizens. “The finals epitomise the vision of the league bringing together talented kids, passionate families and supportive communities,” he said. It is estimated that 100,000 players have started their playing days with the junior league, just like the 1300 kids that will hit the footy ground during the finals series over the coming weeks. Get down to Lloyd Park, Langwarrin and support our local junior football teams. Scott Grimster, commissioner, AFL South East Commission

All star line-up to celebrate league’s jubilee ENTERTAINMENT was high on the agenda at the Frankston & District Junior Football League’s 50th birthday celebrations at the Frankston Arts Centre. More than 230 guests were entertained by Coodabeen Champions Billy Baxter and Greg Champion – with the highlight of the night being interviews with former Frankston boys and VFL/AFL champions, Robert Harvey and Russell Greene, by league founder Alan Wickes. Current Saints star, Tommy Curren, of Mt Eliza, spoke about his recent journey to the AFL with player development manager Darren Price. Highlights of matches were screened to the traditional theme of Up There Cazaly. The celebration preceded the league’s finals series at Lloyd Park, Langwarrin. The league was formed on 18 March 1965 at the Police & Citizens Youth Centre, Ross Smith Av, Frankston - now the site of Bayside shopping centre. This followed an inaugural meeting on 19 February at the Fernery Guest House, Nepean Highway, Frankston - now the site of the Caltex service station. Those present were local sporting and business leaders, Con Pavlou, Bob Marshall, Doug Nicholson, Bernie Woiwod, Brian (Pud) Cameron, Ken Cameron, Cyril Fox, Ray Kennedy, John Morris, Kevin Mason, Bob Heron and Alan Wickes, captain coach of Frankston Football Club. The guest speaker was the assistant secretary of the Victorian Football League, Jack Hamilton - a Frankston

Making a Grand staged entrance WHILE other cultures – particularly the Italian and French – love to chat while they promenade in the street, Australians prefer to socialise in hotels, trendy bars and nightclubs. The stage show I Knew These People, coming to The Grand Hotel, Frankston, next week, has taken this ritual to another level. The show – by RAWcollective – is a medley of separate, but interconnected, stories taking the audience on a “journey into the human mind”.
Audience members can let the show unravel around them in the lounge of the hotel, at 499 Nepean Hwy, Frankston. Kelly Nash is part of the six-member cast performing I Knew These People as part of the Anywhere Theatre Festival Frankston at The Grand is from 7.30pm Monday 1 September to Wednesday 3 September. Nash says she feels an attachment to the hotel as her grandfather worked in the bottle department there 60 years ago.

FRANKSTON’S first ever green army squads will begin active duty next month as the federal government’s much-hyped “direct action” environmental program swings into action. Four teams of ten green army recruits selected from the ranks of unemployed youths will begin work in September on environmental projects in Seaford, Langwarrin and Mt Eliza, while a further two projects will begin in the near future at Frankston and Seaford-Edithvale wetlands. The initial green army programs include clean up works along Kananook Creek, rejuvenation of Boggy Creek and Reserve in Langwarrin and fire protection, fuel management and bush track management at Mt Eliza, while the Frankston bushland weed and fire management project and Seaford-Edithvale wetlands support project will begin later this year. Five national employment providers will manage the green army workforce, which is scheduled to grow to 15,000 strong by 2018, while councils, Landcare groups and community based environmental groups will oversee work on the ground as “sponsors”. Federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson said the electorate would be one of the first in the country to host green army projects and as such would serve as a role model for others to follow. “The Green Army will help to clean up Kananook Creek around Seaford and Frankston, support conservation work at Seaford wetlands and weed and fuel reduction in bushland reserves in Frankston, Langwarrin and Mt Eliza,” Mr Billson said. “They will undertake activities on five linear creek line reserves through Mount Eliza to reduce woody and ground flora weeds, protect key trees from excessive possum browsing, increase seed bank diversity and quantity, propagate and plant seedlings, develop interpretive
trails and reduce fire risk.” The $525 million green army project, which a centrepiece of the Coalition's environmental agenda, aims to encourage “practical grassroots action to support local environment and heritage conservation projects”. It aims to provide young people aged 17-24 years an opportunity to gain training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation fields. Mr Billson said the experience would enable participants to “explore careers in conservation management, while participating in projects that generate real benefits for the Australian environment”. “Participants will receive a green army allowance for the duration of their project … and will be supported to obtain certificate I or II qualifications or nationally endorsed skills set to help them prepare for the workforce or improve their career opportunities.”
Sounding a little silly It Sounds Silly is a contemporary dance work that considers the way we see the world as children, how we understand the operations and functions of the body, machines and the wider universe. It’s presented by Chunky Move and Frankston Arts Centre and directed and choreographed by Adam Wheeler. Through a collage of dance, sound and video, Chunky Move and the youth of Frankston explore childhood memories - such as the first time we remember hurting ourselves or what we feared and what we dreamed we would be when we grew up. See It Sounds Silly at the Wells St Plaza, Frankston, 6.30-8pm Friday. The free show takes 30 minutes and is rated G. If the weather is wet organisers say the show will be moved to Saturday.

The outdoor improvements are where this home really shines with an amazing undercover entertaining area looking out over a stunning in-ground, solar heated pool that has been set into an elevated sundeck. If you prefer the view from side on, take some time out in the Balinese-style hut that houses a relaxing spa hot tub. All areas are privately screened from the street and surrounded by a hardy array of yuccas, ferns and palms. Befitting a property of this calibre, and again underlining the emphasis that you get to enjoy this home, not be a slave to it, there is a host of smart, time-saving features programmed to control the heating & cooling systems inside and the turf and garden irrigation systems outside. Even the pool, solar heating and home security are taken care of. A double garage under the roofline has internal access and a double carport is great to store the extra recreational vehicles. Total relaxation has never looked this good, nor this easy.

ATO issues bitcoin investment rules THE ATO has delivered guidance on the taxation treatment of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. “The guidance paper and draft tax rulings issued provide certainty for the Australian community on the ATO’s treatment of cryptocurrencies within the current legislative framework,” senior assistant commissioner Michael Hardy said. Under the guidance paper and rulings, bitcoin transactions are treated like barter transactions with similar taxation consequences. Generally, there will be no income tax or GST implications for individuals if
they are not in business or carrying on an enterprise and they pay for goods or services in bitcoin. Where an individual uses bitcoin to purchase goods or services for personal use or consumption, any capital gain or loss from disposal of the bitcoin will be disregarded as a personal use asset – provided the cost of the bitcoin is $10,000 or less. Individuals who use bitcoin as an investment may be subject to capital gains tax rules when they dispose of it, as they would for shares of similar assets. Businesses will need to record the
value of bitcoin transactions as a part of their ordinary income. They must also charge GST when they supply
bitcoin and may be subject to GST when receiving bitcoin in return for goods and services. Record-keeping requirements are similar to other transactions. Where there may be a taxation consequence people should keep records of: the date of the transaction the amount in Australian dollars what the transaction was for; and who the other party was (even if it is just the bitcoin address). There may be fringe benefit tax consequences for businesses using bitcoin to pay employee salaries. “The ATO has consulted extensively

Portaloo theft mars fun run ORGANISERS of last weekend’s Devilbend fun run have been left scratching their heads following the disappearance of a portaloo shortly before the start of the charity event. Eight portable toilets were dropped off at various locations along the course of the fun run at Devilbend Natural Features Reserve on Saturday ahead of the event the next morning. But when Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club members organising the charity event arrived around 6am on Sunday, one of the toilets was missing. Organiser Richard “Dozer” Does said the remote location of the event within the nature reserve made the apparent theft of the portaloo all the more puzzling. “No one seems to have ever heard of anyone ever stealing a portaloo ever before; it really beggars belief,” Mr Does said. “It’s a real mongrel act. We’re a not-for-profit group and this was a charity event, so you couldn’t get much lower than that, not to mention the fact we’re talking about a toilet.” Mornington police confirmed they were investigating the incident, but had no leads to date
Devil’s test: Puffing, panting runners brought Devilbend Reserve alive on Sunday at Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club’s annual fundraiser. About 500 athletes contested a half marathon, five and 10km events – and other novelty races – with proceeds raised on the devil-theme day going to a host of worthy causes. Picture Andrew Hurst
Reef restoration a shellfish act PORT Phillip has been selected as the site of the country’s first shellfish reef restoration project under a ground-breaking partnership between the state government and one of the world's largest conservation groups. The Nature Conservancy has joined forces with the Department of Environment and Primary Industries in a three-year project to identify the most effective means of resurrecting decimated shellfish colonies within Port Phillip. Colonies of shellfish such as muscles, oysters and scollops are recognised as a critical element in bay health, providing a vital habitat and food source for a wide spectrum of marine life while also acting as natural filtration system to improve water quality. But decades of destructive practices such as trawl fishing, dredging and pollution have all but wiped out Port Phillip’s most significant shellfish beds, with marine scientists declaring the bay’s reefs to be “functionally extinct”. Agriculture and Food Security Minister Peter Walsh said reversing the destruction of shellfish reefs was a critical component in improving the health of the bay and rebuild fish stocks. He unveiled details of the ambitious reef restoration project last Saturday, revealing Chelsea, Geelong and Hobsons Bay had been selected for a pilot study in which specially bred oysters would be used to restock depleted beds. “The pilot project will use native flat oysters raised at the Department of Environment and Primary Industries’ Queenscliff hatchery to reestablish shellfish presence on reefs in the bay, and is expected to significantly improve fish habitat and recreational fishing opportunities,” Mr Walsh said. “While this is the first Australian reef restoration effort, the project will test a range
of reef restoration methods based on successful overseas experiences.” The Nature Conservancy will contribute $150,000 while the state will provide $120,000 from the Coalition’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative. Nature Conservancy director of conservation Dr James Fitzsimons said shellfish reefs were the most threatened marine habitat on earth, with 85 per cent of oyster reefs having been completely lost. Efforts to restore shellfish reefs would significantly boost fish numbers, create more clean water and increase recreational fishing opportunities, he said.
“Around the world, considerable progress is being made to restore estuarine reefs that increase biodiversity, improve fishery productivity and filter the water,” Dr Fitzsimons said. The Port Phillip project is the first stage of the Nature Conservancy’s Great Southern Seascapes program, which aims to restore habitat across southern Australian waters. “Our program will focus on habitat restoration, both in the water and on the coast, and encourage local people to get involved through different volunteer activities,” Dr Fitzsimons said.

Book date for prostate check THE Mornington Peninsula will be one of 14 locations across the country to receive a specialist prostate cancer nurse to provide support for patients, their families and carers. This will result in improved access to multidisciplinary specialists and services, continuity of care for prostate cancer patients throughout their cancer journey, and coordination of care from a prostate cancer diagnosis onwards. MP for Dunkley Bruce Billson said prostate cancer nurses were specially trained, registered nurses who would provide information, care and support to men with prostate cancer and their families and carers, within a multidisciplinary health care team. “They form a crucial central point of contact for patients, their families and carers by coordinating access to care and services such as physiotherapy and counselling,” he said. Minister for Health Peter Dutton said the government had committed $6.2 million to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia up until 2017 to select sites, oversee training and fund the placement of the new positions. “The five year relative survival rate of 92 per cent for prostate cancer means there is a large group of men who have been diagnosed and treated, who are now either living with prostate cancer or who have survived treatment and its side effects,” Mr Dutton said. “Increasing the number of specialist prostate cancer nurses means more men will have access to nurses, who will provide vital information, care, and practical and emotional support to men diagnosed with prostate cancer, their families and carers.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Live kangaroo sought for troop mascot Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE Police Magistrate will preside at the Frankston Court on 21st September next. *** WE are pleased to state that Mrs Lloyd (wife of Cr J. Lloyd) has now fully recovered from her recent severe illness. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Brass Band acknowledges with thanks the sum of £5 5s, donated by H. Masterton Esq., towards the funds of the band. *** OVER £70 has been collected at Mornington for the Patriotic Fund. Ladies are daily employed at the shire hall making garments. The race club has donated £5 5s to the fund. *** MR P. Bailey of the Frankston Nursery, assisted by a few of the lady members, tastefully decorated the stage for the last choral concert and quite a number of complimentary remarks were heard about the pleasing effect. *** THE Frankston Brass Band will play selections on Sunday afternoon next (weather permitting) in the vicinity of the Pier, when a collection will be taken up to go towards the Patriotic Fund. It is probable that some patriotic addresses will be delivered between the numbers. *** THOSE interested in giving a farewell to our Frankston lads who have enlisted for the war, are requested to attend a meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening next, (after sport’s meeting) for the purpose of arranging
date, and other necessary details. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Sport’s Club will be held on Monday evening in the Mechanics Hall at 8.15 o’clock, for the purpose of receiving annual report and balance sheet, and general. A full attendance of members is requested. *** THE dance held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Saturday evening last, in aid of the permanent endowment of the Frankston cot in connection with the Children’s Hospital passed off very successfully. There was a good attendance and a most enjoyable time was spent dancing to the capital music supplied by Messrs Hay and Rogerson (piano and violin). Before breaking up, a dainty supper (supplied by the ladies) was handed around, which was much appreciated. Miss Reynolds acted as Hon Sec to the function. *** THE Lord Mayor (Alderman Heanessy) stated on Tuesday that Lieut Colonel McCay, in command of the Expeditionary Force, had said that cardigan jackets were particularly needed for the troops, and they would be appreciated on the transport vessels, Draught boards, ship quoits, and boxing gloves would enable much pleasure to be obtained on the voyage. Gifts of vaseline or other ointments, as well as boracic acid were also required, in order to give relief where inconvenience might be experienced through much walking. ***
TO the order of various locals, Mr Garrood has in course of preparation an enlarged photo of the combined Peninsula football team, which recently played the Essendon League club at Frankston. A presentation of this framed portrait is shortly to bet made to Mr H. Masterton, of Frankston. We have seen a copy of the picture taken by Mr H. Garrood, by flash light of the banquet held in the Mechanics’ Hall, and it is one of the best of the kind we have seen taken, being very clear and distinct. *** OUR readers are reminded of the coming fancy and poster skating carnival to be held in the Somerville Horticultural Hall, on Wednesday evening next, when trophies will be given for the best fancy dress (lady and gentleman), best poster costume (lady and gentleman), most graceful couple and best sustained character (lady and gentleman). As half the proceeds are to be devoted to the Patriotic Fund, it will also prove as an additional incentive to attend, and there will doubtless be a record attendance. *** THE 49th annual report and review of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home and Seaside Home at Frankston has just been published, and shows a very satisfactory state of affairs. The receipts from all sources for the year amounted to £1368 4s 9d and the expenditure to £1362 17s 6d, leaving a small credit balance to commence this year’s operations. The number of boys dealt with during the year was 104. The general work carried out by the
various branches of the institution, under the direction of Mr Minton, the honorary superintendent seem to be in a healthy state, and promises well for a continuance of the good work now being carried on. *** THE annual ball in connection with the Hastings I.O.R. Tent takes place on Friday next. This function has come to be looked forward to by nearly all lovers of dancing as one of the best held, and the management this year are doing their level best to sustain their reputation, therefore those who attend are assured of a capital evening’s amusement. *** IT has been suggested to us that as nearly all the troops are allowed to take a “mascot” with them on their way to give them “good luck,” it would be a nice thing to provide our boys with a kangaroo to take with them and help to remind them of their homes in sunny Australia. If one was caught and presented to them we feel sure they would feel very proud and take every care of it. *** The ladies of Frankston have made up and forwarded the following articles for the use of the soldiers :- 72 gross safety pins (donated), 25 under flannels, 3 flannelette undershirts, 11 flannel bed shirts, 10 flannette bed shirts, 15 flannette shirts, 35 bandages, 64 slings. *** Mr L. T Malcolm, of Frankston, has been appointed Seargent in the B Squad, 4th Light Horse.
*** TO THE EDITOR. Sir, Kindly spare me space in your columns to make a remark on the attitude shown by some of the laborites last Thursday evening at Crib Point, when Mr Turnbull was speaking in the Liberals’ interest. From the beginning of the meeting it was very evident thatt they didn’t intend to let the gentleman speak, as every time he started some ignorant person would interject and block those who did wish to hear him from doing so. I happened to be a visitor to Crib Point, and expected when I went to the meeting that Mr Turnbull would be allowed to speak without any interjecting, but to my surprise some of those present did not act like Britishers at all. I also happened to be staying in Hastings on the next evening, when Mr J. K. McDougall, the Labor candidate, was speaking, and of course went to hear him. Both the Liberal and Labor supporters were well represented, but the Liberals did not interject while he was speaking. but did what men should do -sit still and hear what they have to say, even if they don’t agree with all that is being said. Hoping that the next time I visit a meeting of the kind at Crib Point, the Laborites will behave in a more manly manner. Thanking you for your valuable space. Yours, etc, AGENT DISGUSTED. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 August 1914.

Confessions of a closet hoarder
I have retained a spectacular respect for gravity ever since. The break was pretty bad and I was in plaster from my ankles right up to my hips. For months, I was a prisoner trapped in a plaster cell. To get around, I had to lie front side down on a trolley and roll across the slate. Carpet was terrain that was too tough to handle and I resorted to yelling at my siblings to
fetch things. They may claim that, plaster or not, I never really stopped. It used to be that when in plaster, people would sign your cast. For a period, I was pretty much considered the town mutant and many of my classmates were driven out to gaze upon my hideous visage. This humiliation was especially acute given the design of the cast itself. Whilst it
stretched from hip to ankle, it had large holes cut out in the front and the back. For modesty’s sake, a pair of oversized underpants was placed over the top of the cast. It was beyond humiliating. Question: what’s worse than being stuck in a plaster cast and having to move yourself around on a trolley? Answer: being stuck in a plaster cast and moving around on a trolley whilst wearing a gigantic pair of Reg Grundys. One of my classmates summed it up best. Upon sighting my repulsive countenance and extensive plaster cast, he shook his head and simply said: “This was always going to happen.” Why he held this view was never explained but it was an observation that would haunt me for years to come. It was, in fact, the first time I was ever typecast. Or, to be strictly accurate, type plaster cast. Given the considerable acreage, all visitors were asked to sign the plaster. Upon reflection, this was a monumental act of cruelty. Signing a card is all right. Putting John Hancock in a book can be a sign of respect. But to sign a cast is simply drawing unnecessary attention to a defect. Frankly, it felt like people were rubbing it in. Regardless of any objection, my cast was soon home to an array of drawings and get-well messages. When I was finally cut free of my plaster chains, it was like being liberated. I was allowed to keep the remains. Goodness knows why. It is enough to say that when I moved out of home, the plaster cast was one of
many things I left behind. It sits in my father’s shed, hanging from the roof. After thirty years, I’m prepared to call it – I doubt my old plaster cast will be of any further use. It has, I suspect, long since served its purpose. My father, on the other hand, is not yet ready to let it go. I can only guess how he might still plan to press it into service. Christmas tree decoration? Spring carnival hat? A warning to others who might secretly harbour a desire to throw themselves from a tree in the hope they might fly? Maybe all of the above. It’s not the only object from my childhood that has been jealously preserved. There are the rocks I collected between the ages of eight and twelve after which time I lost interest, much as I had done with stamps, coins and football cards before them. There’s the pottery I made that is so ugly it’s pretty much the Elephant Man of the ceramic world. I’m not sure what drives him to hang on to all that stuff. Maybe it invokes another time. Perhaps he hopes to curate an exhibition and is simply waiting for me to do something remotely noteworthy. It probably doesn’t matter. Whether physical or not, we all collect things over time. They are part of who we are. They also remind us where we’ve come from. Items like my plaster cast shouldn’t be discarded. They should be celebrated and, if practical, mounted for future generations to admire. When it comes to my plaster cast, I plan to do exactly that. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

By Stuart McCullough WHEN you get down to it, what chance did I have? There are those for whom everything is in its right place. It’s hole-punched and filed away – alphabetically, chronologically or under the Dewey Decimal system. Theirs is a life that is uncluttered, uncomplicated and (truth be told) wholly uninteresting. Then there are those of us who, in technical terms, have a lot of stuff. To the uninitiated, it’s mostly rubbish. In truth, this dazzling galaxy of objects consists of mementos, artifacts and souvenirs of a life lived to the full. If I’m being honest though, I don’t just collect a few things along the way. I am a snowball careening down a mountainside, gathering pace and growing ever larger. There’s no point denying it any longer. My name is Stuart McCullough and I am a hoarder. Frankly, this was my destiny. To try and deny it would be to defy the natural laws of the universe. It was preordained that I should be a hoarder because my father before me was (and remains) a resolute hoarder of near unimaginable dimensions. My hoarding proclivities are naturally curbed somewhat by a lack of space. In contrast, my father has twenty acres and can let his instincts run ‘free range’. He has kept everything. And of all the things that he has retained over decades, much of it resides in the shed. When I was six years old, I broke my leg. The short story is that I fell out of a tree whilst attempting to fly.
100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Performance IN a classic case of “When the going gets tough … the tough get creative”, Allan Caswell has taken his brand new album Sometimes When You Lose You Win from the initial concept to being up on iTunes in barely a month. “It was an idea that my wife Marian and Roger Corbett cooked up as a fundraiser for my appeal in my lawsuit against Sony,” Caswell said. “Marian wrote the title track with me, organised the cover art, helped me select the songs and generally coordinated the whole thing. They’re my songs but in many ways this album is as much Roger’s vision as it is mine … he played most of the instruments (with help from Ben Corbett, Dave Skinner and Damien Odell) and each song was given its own sound and approach”. Caswell failed to convince a NSW judge last month that his Prisoner TV show theme, 1979’s On The Inside, had been “ripped off” by the US band Alabama for their Christmas in Dixie song in 2003. The album features the Christmas in Dixie On The Inside Medley, which has enjoyed a great deal of exposure on radio and YouTube and a couple of other songs pertinent to the Sony case. It is a more alt-country departure from his recent classic country outings. The overall feel is very “up”, anger is expressed in humour and lyrically and musically it is among Caswell’s very best work. Caswell’s co-writers on Sometimes When You Lose You Win are Marian Caswell on the title track, Mt Eliza singer/songwriter, Lachlan Bryan (Really Stupid People and A Little Weird Round Here) Dave Skinner (Life Can Be a Problem to the Working Man) and Drew McAlister (Your Memory Don’t Live Here Any More). The rest are all Caswell originals. The CD version of Sometimes When You Lose You Win will be available in a little over a week’s time via sales@ allancaswell.com and through The Songwriters Fighting Fund Facebook site. All profits go to funding the legal appeal including the iTunes down-

da Lambert and more. His music career spans more than 30 years and includes 60 no.1 singles, more than any other artist in any genre; and boasts 33 platinum albums, more than any country artist and third across all genres behind only The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Strait is the only act in history to have a Top 10 hit every single year for over three decades. Strait has sold more than 68.5 million albums and has earned more than 60 major entertainment industry awards including most recent Entertainer of the Year at both the CMA awards (2013) and ACMA awards (2014) Songs included Fool Hearted Memory, Marina Del Ray, Cowboys Like Us, Troubadour, Jackson, The Cowboy Rides Away and more. www. georgestrait.com loads. www.allancaswell.com *** MELBOURNE 70s rockers Taste have announced that they have remastered tracks from their albums Tickle Your Fancy and Nights of Love to be available on CD for the very first time next month. The two albums will be combined to give the greatest hits album The Best of Taste. Tracks included are Boys Will Be Boys, Tickle Your Fancy, Little Romance and my favourite Rock’n’Roll Superstar. Taste guitarist/singer Ken Murdoch said: “A new album is planned with all the original members and a concert. This is an exciting project for the band and we are excited that the YouTube clip of Tickle Your Fancy has had more than 23,000 hits”. Taste evolved out of a band called Cloud Nine formed by Ken Mur-
doch and Michael Gemini in 1970. Joey Amenta later joined the group and Taste was born. They had a Top 40 chart hit in 1976 with Tickle Your Fancy (Bootleg) followed by the Top 20 hit Boys Will Be Boys. www.taste-music.com ken@kenmurdoch.com
is remade using powerful artificial limbs and becomes superhuman. It was a popular science fiction series which injected love interest by later spinning off The Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner). The show starred Lee Majors and Darren McGavin.
*** IT pays to be a superhero. Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. has topped Forbe’s list of the highest paid actors, with his Avengers co-star, Australia’s Chris Hemsworth also making the top five. Downey Jr came in at no.1 with estimated earnings of $81 million. Mark Wahlberg is negotiating to star in a movie reboot of The Six Million Dollar Man. The show ran on US TV from 1974 to 1978 and well-known filmmaker, Peter Berg (The Kingdom, Hancock, Prime Suspect) will bring it to the big screen. The movie centres on an astronaut injured in a crash and
*** COUNTRY superstar George Strait will release a new live 20 track album next month The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium (MCA) recorded live at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas to more than 105,000 fans. The King of Country Music and reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year performed for over 1 million fans during his record breaking two year final U.S tour. Due in stores 19 September, the MCA Nashville release contains hits from his 30-plus year career and features special guests Kenny Chesney, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Miran-
mine. I don’t think he had any real mates, whereas I was a best mate with not only the best footballer/cricketer at school but also on excellent terms with the best two fist fighters. Common sense? I suspect he thought I didn’t deserve my status: hopeless at sport, the major attraction to fame, and reasonably good at a few things but a master of none. He cornered me in front of the leading players group, no doubt hoping to put me in my rightful hall of infamy place. Alas, my tough friend Sonny stepped in, giving him a quick thrashing. Strange thing, resentment; likewise jealousy. *** National security reforms by way of concerns over the threat of terrorism and the retention of data for two years sounds sensible, but giving ASIO the power to hack into an innocent third party’s computer, in fact whole networks, is the big worry. “People” make these decisions, likely to backdate forever. Any less or more is excessive and dangerous. *** As kids we had the occasional yonny fights with a group of scruffy kids known as Catholics. We would scream out at them “catholic dogs jump like frogs in and out the water”. They would respond, replacing catholic for protestant. In retrospect neither group had a clue. Fortunately
all forgotten on reaching puberty in favour of females (of any religion). Mind you, we had our suspicions of foreign females for a year or two after that. *** I was watching Cary Grant (To Catch a Thief) being served soup and quiche by his Asian housekeeper on his balcony overlooking the French Riviera. Shall I join Cary with my $70 million lottery winnings? Four bank accounts. One at $20 million for research into reversing the body clock. Two at $20 million apiece, send off the interest monthly to family, friends, charities; one at $10 million for my daily exuberances? Have a lift built in. Top shelf computer system; write my column. Talk to the kids on Skype, argue about their urgent need for more and more money. Lost the plot of the film. No; it’s all too hard. Stop buying tickets? No-the dream remains. A live-in Asian housekeeper? Do they have winters in France? *** ANZ Bank CEO Mike Smith and his apparent confusion with the magic word-mandate. When did the public give a mandate for pension changes, medicare costs, cuts to family benefits, education and health? If Tony tells us no pension changes, no tax cuts, a million new jobs and the like and he’s voted in with these promises
*** COUNTRY singer Aleyce Simmonds releases her new single My Life Drives Me to Drink, the 3rd single to be lifted from Aleyce’s Golden Guitar nominated album, Believe. Featuring Mt Eliza singer/songwriter Lachlan Bryan on backing vocals, My Life Drives Me to Drink is an honest, relatable, old-school country song. Aleyce said: “The song was written on the drive home after an afternoon of swapping life stories at the pub with friends. It is a simple song about a simple fact of life”. The accompanying music video currently sits at no.15 on the Country Music Channel Top 50 chart. Last week, Aleyce was announced as a finalist in Best Album, Best Single and Female Artist of the Year categories at the Independent Country Music Awards of Australia. www.aleyce.com
A Grain of Salt SPRING approaches, an attempt at happiness devoid of cynicism. Difficult, but persistence being my middle name I press on. Howdy Doody boys and girls! Good, I’m glad we got that over with. Back to serious matters. The dangers of getting old. A point of view. The gradual changeover from the excesses of youth to the excesses of seriousness. Having the soul in top gear (wowserish) despite the heavies of porn, politics, illness and religion. High morals appear to be a good thing, but surely the odd touch of debauchery can be let loose as a variable, even for health reasons? Do I choose righteousness and with it become a rotten apple? People on hand to tell you to follow the path of pure goodness (as they see it) but invariably people have their own demons. Two pots, special occasions three, but the body complains, in control, afraid of excesses, and yet still tempted by the look of the Woolworths shiny apple. Temperance reigns, voluptuousness lingers, death is ever present and vague thoughts of eventual wisdom (advanced cynicism) set aside in dreams. Thankfully, we have Joe Hockey for comedy. *** It’s all very well to compare our present day Coalition with George Orwell’s 1984 and assume the public are buying this, but in fact the pub-
PAGE 36
lic is not buying this. The majority is buying this. Are you part of the majority? Ask yourself if you enjoy watching The Footy Show. If guilty, you clearly form part of this possibly mentally disturbed majority, and no doubt admire Andrew Bolt, Garry Lyon, James Brayshaw and Christopher Pyne? Give me a break. *** Eddie McGuire came out strongly in support of Nathan Buckley and the rebuilding gig. No surprise with the big question of the survival of some 80,000 members in 2015 and supportive justification for his changeover coaching idea. We Collingwood supporters appreciate Eddie’s efforts and eventually forgive Buckley’s treatment of Didak and Jolly, but the crux for many of us was the dumping of magpie royalty in Heath Shaw, first mooted by his Uncle Tony? It was never about making the finals; it was about born and bred heroes. We support our team, live in hope, but it still hurts. *** Resentment appears to start very early in life for a host of reasons not necessarily connected to poverty or bad treatment. Way back in state school we had this boy Keating who seemed to have one purpose in life: to give me a thrashing. He was from a poor family, but in fact no poorer than

aren’t they counted as mandates? Explain please Mikey mate. *** More police promised, like Teddy promised last time?...Right or wrong, Robin Williams struck me as a man with a massive inferiority complex; sad no more Robin...The players want James Hird back, but who would be game enough to say otherwise?... Team Australia or Circus Oz, for another three years?...Will Denis spring a surprise and make good his 2010 promise to extend the rail network between Rowville and Doncaster?... Free speech is something you say provided it doesn’t upset the Government, Mayor Robert Doyle, females, aborigines, Israelis, Muslims, the AFL and ASIO...I doubt the effect of metadata on terrorism, but it will certainly cause a reduction of Facebook activities...A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com

Demons storm into finals NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt RYE stormed its way into the Nepean League finals with a devastating display against Sorrento on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve. With their season on the line, Rye needed to beat the Sharks to assure themselves a finals berth. Had the Demons lost, old foes Rosebud would have grabbed their place in the top bracket after smashing Devon Meadows. At their best, we were under no illusion that Rye was good enough to beat the Sharks. The only problem was that they lacked consistency throughout the season. On Saturday, there was no hint of bad Rye. They were all class from the first bounce to the final siren, winning 15.11 (101) to 10.11 (71). The Demons made the opposition look slow and old, such was their ability to win the ball on the inside and then run and spread the Sharks on the outside. It all started with Rhett Sutton in the middle of the ground. The Rye skipper was the best player on the ground, whether it was dominating the ruck or winning his own footy around the ground. If Sutton was the best player on the
ground, then Ryan Semmel wasn’t too far behind. He dominated the clearances, tackled sensationally, gained huge meterage with his kicking and set the example for the rest to follow. It was this performance that no doubt had the Foxtel guys excited on the TV show, The Rookie. It was also the breakout performance that Rye supporters had been waiting for. Ryan’s brothers, Luke and Jake, were also superb over the four quarter journey, whether it was through the middle of the ground or in attack. Coach Ben Holmes was damaging at full forward, finishing with six goals. He kicked three in the first quarter and dominated Chris Bagot. Ben Cain was also dominant through the middle for the Demons while Adam Kirkwood, Ryan Taylor and Anthony Joel were in control of things down back. The Sorrento forward line was smashed. Leigh Poholke finished with three goals but didn’t touch the footy in the first three quarters. Myles Pitt couldn’t get near it and Ben Schwarze was non existant despite kicking a couple. The Sharks only had three good players. Troy Shwarze worked tirelessly, as did Daniel Grant, while Guy Stringer tried valiantly down back
and broke even with Aaron Findlay. The likes of Kayle Stringer-Morris, Leigh Treeby and James Hallahan were soundly beaten and Dave Lawson, Grant Johnson and Trevor Mattison were shown a clean pair of heels. Ryan Williams in the ruck was also well beaten. While Rye will look forward to its chance to beat Red Hill in the cut– throat elimination final this weekend, Sorrento must regroup and face Dromana. People can say all they like that Sorrento had nothing to play for, given they would finish with the double chance regardless of the result. That’s garbage. Sorrento was completely outrun and outplayed. The Sharks had a heap of wounds re-opened on Saturday and lack of leg speed was clearly one of them. On the big grounds, they are going to be found wanting. Dromana will be ready and waiting for the Sharks after giving Red Hill a football lesson. Like they did earlier in the year, Dromana punished the Hillmen in a quarter of footy, booting 12 goals to three in the second quarter, opening up a match winning 55 point lead. The final margin was 62 points, 18.16 (124) to 8.14 (62). Steven Gaertner finished the game
with five goals, three of them coming in that explosive second quarter. Jay Neratzoglou dominated for the Tigers, shutting down Jarred Eames, while Aaron Coyle was given the tough job on Hillmen full forward Jarryd Douglas and kept him goalless. Andrew Kiely was back in the Dromana team and while he didn’t do a lot, he still finished with three goals, as did the fleet–footed Kieran Voelkl. Daniel Waddell is a wonderful leader and he was inspirational on Saturday. Paul Wintle did the job on Anthony Bruhn for the Hillmen and was one of their few wins for the day, while Dan McNamara and Jake Mitchell provided plenty of run. It was a tough final home and away game for the Hillmen and they now must regroup before their showdown with Rye, a side that beat them earlier in the year. Rosebud needed to beat Devon Meadows to ensure they gave themselves every opportunity to play finals had Rye gone down. They kept their end of the bargain with a 22.13 (145) to 12.4 (76) victory. Keegan Downie booted six goals for the winners and was one of the best players on the ground while Greg Bentley and Ryan Spooner were outstanding. Craig Thorne was the best of the
Panthers, along with Pat Harmes, while Steve McInnes finished with a team high four goals. Crib Point finished minor premiers with a 19.22 (136) to 8.9 (57) win against Pearcedale. The Pies have now earned the week break, which for any team at this time of the year, is a timely pick up. Jon Flack kicked five goals and Waide Symes four for the winners while Brad Arnold and Luke Herrington were again at their best. Jack Johnson and Dean Karies also continued their outstanding form. Dean Janssen and Troy Jacobson were the best of the Panthers. Frankston Bombers were made to work hard to get the four points against Tyabb, winning 11.17 (83) to 8.7 (55). Jay Reynolds was the best player on the ground with four goals. In the final game, Hastings finished its season off strongly, beating Somerville in a great contest, 13.8 (86) to 11.10 (76). Ben King and Josh Mulheron were outstanding for the Blues while Jedd Sutton kicked four goals and along with David Hirst were dominant for the Eagles.

Edithvale-Aspendale finished off Mt Eliza’s season and in doing so ensured its top three position and the double chance. The Eagles led by 23 points at the first change and while the bruised and battered Redlegs had a red hot go in the third term, they couldn’t sustain it, going down 15.14 (104) to 8.12 (60). Jarred Garth finished with six goals for the winners and Todd Woodbridge booted three while Lachy Foley and Keith De Souza in his eighth game were dominant. Sam Gill and Rohan Heasley led the way for the Redlegs, who would be bitterly disappointed that they did not make finals. Mornington will ease into this weekend’s elimination final against Langwarrin on the back of a monstrous 93-point win over Pines. The Pythons knocked Mornington off in one of the upsets of the season earlier this year, however, there was no danger of that happening again on Saturday. The Dogs were 35 points up at quarter time and 64 up at the halfway mark. They ran out 22.21 (153) to 9.6 (60) winners. Jackson Calder finished with a game high eight goals to finish the season with 46 while Dale Nolan booted six to give him 43 for the year. Beau Hendry was outstanding for the Pythons while Jake Prosser worked hard for his three goals. Bonbeach also warmed up for a qualifying final showdown and grand final replay against Edithvale with a commanding 114-point win against Chelsea. The Seagulls led the Sharks by 17 points at the first change and the difference was just nine points at the long interval. However, the home side booted 18 goals to two after the break to win 24.15 (159) to 6.9 (45). Owen Hulett kicked seven goals in a best on ground performance in just his sixth game of the season for the Sharks, while Calhan McQueen kicked five majors, giving him nine in the past two weeks. Jackson Casey was also among the best players yet again. Of Casey’s 18 matches this season, he has been in the best 13 times. Of those 13, he has been named first or second best on nine occasions. Todd Gardiner and James Sivijs were the best of the Gulls. Seaford finished its season with two wins on the trot, beating Karingal 12.15 (87) to 9.13 (67). The Bulls led the Tigers at every change, however, were outscored four goals to four behinds in the last quarter. Ben Crowe led from the front for his young team with four goals while Tom Shaw and James Quanchi also played great games. Grant Paxton and Grant Goodall were superb for the Bulls, as was Aaron Paxton and Tom Wilkinson.
By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN will face Mornington in the Peninsula League Elimination Final at Eric Bell Reserve this weekend after beating Frankston YCW by 16 points. The Kangas needed the unlikely win to ensure it played finals for the first time in Peninsula League. As it turned out, Edithvale-Aspendale got the job done against Mt Eliza, which meant Langwarrin would have made it on percentage, even if they had of gone down to YCW. It was the perfect warm up for finals for the Kangaroos, having beaten reigning premiers Edithvale and raging flag favourites YCW in the past three weeks. Prior to the game, Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said that he wanted his team to earn their place in the finals. “When it’s all said and done, you can say that we had enough wins throughout the year to play finals,” said Artico. “However, for our group and their development, it was important that we made a statement and really earned that place in the finals. “I really couldn’t fault us this afternoon. Other than over using the footy a bit in the third quarter, I thought our intensity and pressure was first rate. “It just showed once again that despite the opposition, if you can bring work rate and intensity over four quarters, you give yourself every opportunity to win,” said Artico. Asked whether the fact that Frankston YCW would finish on top of the ladder and earn the week break regardless of the result on Saturday, Artico said he didn’t buy into that thought. “I’ve been in YCW’s position with both Langwarrin and Dromana over the past eight or nine years and when you know you have a week break, you throw everything into the final round. “You don’t flirt with form and you don’t tinker with game plans. Knowing you have a week off, you have a crack. “The reality is that we played better footy for longer and I’m sure YCW would tell you the same thing,” said Artico. The Kangas opened up a 17-point break at quarter time when they kicked four goals to one. They led by 24 points at half time and by 29 at the final change. Beau Muston was the best player on the ground with four goals and Matty Dimkos kicked three, while Nick Tuddenham and Andrew Withers shone. Ash Eames worked hard for the Stonecats against the ever improving Matt Naughton and Dave Bodley got off the leash a bit with five goals. Bodley won the league goal kicking award with 53 goals.

Girl’s footy makes its mark on the competition THE MPJFL Youth Girls faced Cranbourne in its first preliminary final, and greatest test yet. The experienced Cranbourne side have been a power house team in youth girls football for the last five years. They went through the South East Juniors (SEJ) Youth Girls season undefeated and in the only game the MPJFL girls played against them during the year, they won by 49 points. At the end of preliminary final, the difference was just one point. Unfortunately, enough to see the end of this team’s amazing season of improvement. They went into the game with the maximum 21 players with six on the bench, which has been the norm for the last few weeks, indicating the increase in team numbers and the growth in girls wanting to play football. It is hard to believe that this team is only two years old, forming two weeks before the start of the SEJ Youth Girls Competition. In its first season the team competed well, qualifying and playing in the top division and finishing the season fifth out of 12 teams, but missing out on finals. In only four games last season the team had enough players to have a bench. This season every game the team had players running off the bench with several games played with a maximum 21 players. The team plays under the MPJFL Youth Girls banner and has players coming from Rye, Rosebud, McCrae, Bittern, Hastings, Somerville, Mt Martha, Mornington and Mt Eliza areas. It is truly a Mornington Peninsula team with many of the girls this year playing their first season of football in a team competition. Girls football is one of the fastest growing sports and the development of this team over the
last two years is a clear example of this growth. The team has been coached by local sporting identity and community bank senior manager Gary Sanford and his daughter Vicki as assistant coach. Unfortunately for Vicki prior to this season’s first game she did her ACL playing netball, which was a huge loss to the team. Vicki was instrumental in getting the team together last season and won its best and fairest in the team’s first year. “This team has gone from strength to strength from the very first training run together last year,” said Gary. “The improvement in each individual player and the team as a whole was clearly evident in today’s game, competing against quality experienced opposition. “Although the team lost today every player gave 100% and played great team football. I thank every player for how they competed all year and improved each game. “I hope these girls stick together next year and go on to enjoy even more success in the future.” The team has had tremendous support from the Beleura Junior Football Club who allowed the team to use their grounds and facilities for training twice a week this year. It also hosted two of the seasons games at Dallas Brooks Oval in Mornington during the year. “You can be assured girls football will continue to grow and you will here a lot more about this group of girls successes on the football field in the future,” said Gary MPJFL Youth Girls: 6.8 (44) defeated by Cranbourne: 6.9 (45) Goals: Phillip 3, Speedy 1, Baird 1, Muir 1 Best: Mitchell, Speedy, Rylance, Muir, Baird, Francis, Mandile, Walker, Lewis, Stahl.
