Appeal spotlights access rights TONY Taylor is challenging Mornington Peninsula Shire over permit conditions he says threaten the viability of his hospitality supplies business. The Mornington businessman says the permit to allow construction of storage units and offices on an adjoining block means he cannot park delivery trucks in the common driveway. The drive belongs to his neighbour, and can be used for access, but not for parking. Mr Taylor says there is no suitable alternative where he can unload. “The council has got to be more accountable as to how its decisions affect other users,” he said on the eve of his appeal this week to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. “Businessman fights shire over permit” Page 3 Tony Taylor in the drive he says is crucial to the future of his Mornington business.

Church lessons on protesting Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MEMBERS of St Macartan’s Catholic Church, Mornington are writing letters to members of parliament opposing the assisted dying Bill about to go before the Victorian Parliament. Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart has urged all churches in his archdiocese to campaign against the Bill. If passed, the proposed legislation

would open the way for Victorians to ask for a medically assisted death. Supporters of the Bill say terminally ill Victorians are sometimes taking their own lives, “alone and in violent ways”. MPs will be allowed a conscience vote on the Bill which, if adopted, could be in place by 2019. The Bill follows investigations by a government-appointed expert panel chaired by former AMA president Professor Brian Owler who has said
the recommended model “is the most conservative model for assisted dying in the world”. St Macartans’ parishioners have been given instructions on how to handwrite their protest letters, which are seen as “the gold standard of making views known to elected representatives”, said a member of the church who did not want to be identified. Mornington MP David Morris said he had received “heaps” of emails about the proposed Bill - mainly from

Mr Morris said he was “not philosophically opposed” to the Bill but would keep an open mind until he had seen the wording. “I’ll not shoot from the hip, but if you are philosophically opposed it’s easy to just say no. “There’s a big difference between euthanasia and assisted dying.

Businessman fights shire over permit Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au JUST weeks after signing a new lease on his Mornington warehouse a businessman learned Mornington Peninsula Shire had approved a planning permit for an adjoining site which he says will hinder his ability to run his business. Tony Taylor says the permit for offices and storage units confirms his neighbour has sole rights over a side carriageway easement, which could mean he is prevented from unloading stock at his loading bay. He says the restrictions could jeopardise the viability of the business on the site he is now locked into for the next five years. Mr Taylor, of Direct Hospitality Supplies, in Barkly St, is taking the shire to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) this week on the grounds that it erred in granting the permit to build more than 200 storage units. He is angry the shire did not consult with him about access rights on the carriageway easement into Barkly St. The shire’s executive manager planning services David Bergin said the matters were “considered by council and also the lawful access rights for the existing carriageway easement”. “The final decision will now be made by VCAT and will also consider
these various access matters,” he said. Mr Taylor, who has run his business for six years, had booked the VCAT hearing for yesterday (Monday 14 August). “They [the shire] should not have given a planning permit for the subdivision behind me if there was a problem in my unloading,” he said. “The shire planners never even contacted me to discuss my objection before granting the permit to the developer. “They didn’t do their due diligence and consult with me, and never considered occupational health and safety issues relating to a side access door and accompanying bollards. “The council has got to be more accountable as to how its decisions affect other users.” Mr Taylor says he may be forced to spend up to $40,000 fighting the case “on my own”. “What else can I do? I’m locked into paying rent over the next five years.” Barkly Self Storage director Matthew Hannaford, who is developing the offices and storage complex behind Mr Taylor’s warehouse, says he is “satisfied with the shire’s town planning department decision to grant a permit. “Overall, we are very satisfied with the council town planners’ decision and their professional approach to the approved design.”
Mr Hannaford said Direct Hospitality Supplies and the neighbouring Masonic Lodge had a right to use his driveway to get to their properties, but not to “conduct business and/or park on that land”. The driveway is the only access and egress point to the storage facility. “[Mr Taylor] has a substantial area of land, on his own title, specifically for car parking or unloading stock. He has free and unencumbered and unrestricted access to go across our driveway to his car park on his property at any time and at his free will.”
Bring science to life THE man whose team developed the graphics and special visual effects in several movies will speak at Peninsula Grammar this week. Physicist and chief scientist of Double Negative, Oliver James, is touring Australia as part of Science Week. In his talk, hosted by Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society, Mr James will describe the science and methods used in the 2014 sci-fi movie Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey. The talk will be held 8-10pm, Wednesday 16 August, in the main lecture theatre, Building T (southernmost car park), Peninsula Grammar, Wooralla Drive, Mt Eliza.
Fathers Day | Sept 3rd
TRAVEL
It’s your life – take care of it MEMBERS of U3A Mornington recently gained an insight into how to ensure their wishes are respected if they end up in hospital or a nursing home. A ‘Your life in your hands’ presentation by Peninsula Health’s advance care planning clinician Teresa Gillespie advised them on possible future health issues. “The presentation is of particular interest to older people in our community,” the U3A’s Anne Riddell said. Those attending are advised of two essentials actions: To complete an advance care directive and to appoint
a trusted person as medical decision maker, which is important if a patient later is unable to communicate. After each presentation, audience members make appointments to see Ms Gillespie or a colleague for help in preparing their paperwork. “We have a chat about what can happen if [a client’s] health fails in later life,” she said. “Then I help [them] decide on the treatment and care they’d want, and prepare the legal directive for them to sign.” Advance care planning appointments can be made by calling Peninsula Health, 1300 665 781.

Pool site chosen beside the park Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au
Ram-ing it home: The Rex Australis sculpture on Peninsula Link is heading back to the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park in Langwarrin. Picture: Gary Sissons
Rex makes gallery new home REX Australis – the giant ram’s head which has graced Peninsula Link near the Skye Rd exit for the past four years – is settling in at its new home: McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Langwarrin. The cast-iron sculpture by Dean Colls is 14 metres long, seven metres high and six metres deep. It will feature near another sculptured favourite: the Tree of Life, by artist Phil Price, which was replaced at the Cranbourne Rd exit by Reflective Lullaby – colloquially known as the Giant Gnome, by Gregor Kregar. Fittingly, the intersections at which the
sculptures attracted motorists’ attention are the exits for the gallery and park. The sculptures are the result of a partnership between the gallery and Southern Way, which was formed to manage the selection and installation of 14 artworks along Peninsula Link, which opened in January 2013. Gallery staffers are tight-lipped over what is replacing Rex but it’s sure to be as eye-catching, curator Simon Lawrie said. The gallery is at 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. Stephen Taylor
LAND near the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices in Besgrove St has surfaced as the preferred option for an aquatic centre at Rosebud. The cost of the aquatic centre is estimated at $28.4 million-$30.7 million, depending on it having a 25-metre or 50-metre inside or outside pool. The council last week voted to spend $20,000 on a business plan for the site which is expected to be completed before its December meeting. A report to council’s 8 August meeting warned that the centre was likely to lose 800,000 to $1.075m a year, although these “may potentially be reduced” by $200,000 if a 600 square metre gym was added to the complex. The cost of including a gym was not included in the report. An extra $2m might be needed for traffic lights at the intersection of Boneo Rd and Besgrove St. In the years the shire has spent debating about where - or even if - to build an aquatic centre, Frankston Council built its award-winning Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC), opened in September 2014. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb last week said deciding on the Besgrove St site would “assist in speeding up the development of a facility in Rosebud … and enable council-owned land in Wannaeue Place to be available for other development options”. “Besgrove St is a strongly suitable location for the proposed pool, featuring relatively flat land, ample space for car parking, relatively straightforward planning controls, and existing public use zoning,” she said.
The siting of an indoor-outdoor aquatic centre has been a drawn-out process: In 1999 the shire commissioned a feasibility study for an indoor centre and, in 2000, adopted a recommendation to deliver a phased aquatic centre program for Hastings, Rosebud and Mornington. The Pelican Park Recreation Centre, Hastings opened in 2003 and has continued to operate at a loss ever since. Council spent about $5.1 million on existing buildings and land for an aquatic centre in Wannaeue Place, Rosebud, in September 2012 after it became clear the state government would not approve a site on Rosebud foreshore for what was then known as the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, or SPA. The report by David Hampton, team leader – buildings and open space project management, to councillors last week estimated it would cost $10.3m for a basement car park if the aquatic centre was built in Wannaeue Place. Basically, the report conclusively says Wannaeue Place is unsuitable for an aquatic centre. However, continuing public support for a new pool was shown at the March 2017 council meeting when supporters asked a slew of questions as to why one had not already been built. Long time pool campaigner Betty Preston said she was “very pleased” with the decision to investigate the Besgrove St site. “However, the recommendations still have to be voted on and community consultation has to take place”, she said. “Still, considering how fast council has acted, particularly over the past few months, it is very encouraging. The community support through petitions, press and the local radio station, has been overwhelming.” Continued Page 11

Reception honours the honoured A RECEPTION for those who received honours on either the Queen’s Birthday or Australia Day was held at the Briars Homestead recently. Orders of Australia are the nation’s highest awards for outstanding achievements and service and are given only after vigorous scrutiny of the nominees. As well as the 11 peninsula recipients announced on Australia Day, five others were announced on
the Queen’s Birthday in June. These were: Raymond Douglas Morgan OAM, of Hastings: for service to the community through health and education programs; Wayne Christopher Etcell OAM, of Somerville: for service to the community through a range of roles; Nathaniel John White OAM, of Flinders: for service to the wine industry; Margaret Joy McLean OAM, of Mornington: for service to masters’ sport and the community, and Julie
Ann Cox AM, of Sorrento: for service to the Arts through executive roles, supporting cultural institutions and to special education and child welfare. The reception was hosted by Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Order of Australia Association Mornington Peninsula regional group. “On behalf of the shire, we would like to congratulate all recipients and thank them for their service to the country and to the peninsula,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said:

TH EPA probe into creek fuel spill BIRTHDAY Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au UP to 200 litres of diesel fuel spilled from the United Terminals’ Hastings depot into Olivers Creek last week from what is believed to be a damaged pipe flange. Earlier, it was reported that 100-1000 litres had escaped from the Barclay Crescent site before the leak was stopped about 1pm on Monday 31 July. United’s COO David Szymczak said the seepage was mostly contained in bunds – protective earth or concrete walls - designed to trap fuel overflows. “All our tanks are in bunded areas but, on this occasion, a small amount – in the 200-litre category – seeped out into an unbunded area,” Mr Szymczak said. The company “called in the experts and emergency services” to help contain the spill – the first at the site since the company took over in 2008. Environment Protection Authority Victoria senior media advisor John Rees said officers found that a “significant volume” of lost fuel was captured by interceptor drains and a trap. A small, unknown amount had flowed into Olivers Creek. “EPA officers observed a clean-up process had taken place, which originally was aimed at protecting the nearby mangroves with booms and surface water removal,” he said. “Significant work has been undertaken to protect the adjacent mangroves, which appear
to have been largely unaffected. No known human health impacts were noted but a strong smell of fuel was present in the immediate area.” Mr Rees said preventative measures remained in place in Olivers Creek under EPA advice and the clean-up was “well advanced”, Friday. He said United Petroleum was “fully cooperating with the EPA”. “Investigations are ongoing into how the spill occurred and the results of that investigation will determine what actions are appropriate,” he said. Port of Hastings CEO Malcolm Geier said after seeing the size and nature of the spill “it was determined that no recovery action was necessary in the bay.”

Steady as she goes on shire alcohol policy ST Macartan’s parishioners writing letters of protest against the proposed assisted dying legislation. Picture: Supplied
Church’s letter campaign Continued from Page 1 “We pray for all doctors, nurses and care givers who answer the call to serve you in the sick and dying. “May they be strengthened to continue to use their gifts in the service of life. “We pray for our law and policy makers. May they always seek to serve the common good and respect the dignity of all, especially the most vulnerable.” While being told that handwritten letters had the most effect on MPs some parishioners admitted that as a result of modern communications they could not remember how to write a letter. They were given 10 sample letters and a list of points that needed to be made. The points were: n No matter the terminology, euthanasia is homicide and assisted suicide is what it says it is; n Killing people should not be condoned as
a response to suffering. n Caring should never involve deliberate ending of a life. n The law protects all Victorians. Euthanasia and assisted suicide means that some will be protected more than others – that some people may be deemed “better off dead”. n Make palliative care the priority of government so that everyone can have a death with dignity. n Euthanasia and assisted suicide are never safe – there is no way to prematurely end a life. The St Macartan letters will be sent to David Morris (Mornington) and Eastern Victorian MPs Melina Bath, Jeffrey Bourman, Daniel Mulino, Edward O’Donohue and Harriet Shing. The St Macartan’s parishioners hope to meet Mr Morris to discuss the Bill although no approach had been made by last Thursday.
By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has a new Alcohol Management Policy, but it reads the same as the one adopted this time last year. Just three submissions from members of the public were received before the shire made its annual review of the alcohol policy. One submitter was unhappy about not being able to take a bottle of red wine to the beach for a barbecue without breaking a shire local law, one complained about cigarettes at licensed outlets, and one wanted footpaths improved. The wine drinker stated: “I would like us to act as a mature community – I do not want to see a ‘nanny state’ developed. I want to be able to go down to our great foreshore facilities and have a barbecue and a glass of red wine.” The footpath submitter said his mother had had two hip replacement operations and was “unable to walk along the current footpaths confidently”. “This has also limited her access to the beach front. It would be wonderful if the paths could be improved enough so that elderly people could walk without fear of tripping over,” they wrote. The footpath submission was redirected to the shire’s infrastructure strategy department. The small number of submissions would appear to indicate that residents and ratepayers think the shire’s alcohol policy is about right. No major changes were made to the draft policy that went public in May. One of the pillars of the policy is to “provide a clear and transparent approach to alcohol management and guide decision-making surrounding alcohol provision and consumption”. Restricting the number of new liquor outlets is an area where the shire has had limited success. In
recent times it successfully refused a liquor licence for a retail outlet in Moorooduc but approved one in Mt Eliza in the under-construction Eliza Square shopping centre. The village already has three liquor shops, a hotel and five licensed restaurants and cafes, all within about 300 metres of the new liquor shop being built. In April 2011, the state government introduced “cumulative impact” regulations to guide planning approval of liquor outlets. Cumulative impact refers to the positives or negatives of putting licensed premises such as hotels, bars, clubs and liquor shops in the one area. The shire council stuck its neck out in 2011 when it knocked back a First Choice (Wesfarmers/Coles) liquor “superstore” in Rosebud, the 10th liquor outlet along a three-kilometre strip of Point Nepean Rd. Coles challenged the decision in the state planning tribunal VCAT. It was a test case as the shire was the first council to refuse a liquor shop using “cumulative impact” regulations. Coles won. When the draft policy was released in May for public comment, councillors were told that peninsula residents were more at risk of alcohol-related harm than elsewhere in the state. The shire had more alcohol-related road accidents, more ambulance call-outs to alcohol-related incidents, more hospital emergency department admissions, and more hospital admissions as a result of alcohol than other areas. Examples of the shire’s role in controlling, managing and limiting the consumption of alcohol include bans on drinking in public places on New Year’s Eve, as well as in streets near The Pillars rock jumping area at Mt Martha, and before and after council meetings.

Winning ways: Junior champion pilot Daniel and dad Andrew Arapakis on the podium in Sweden after winning gold. Picture: Supplied
‘Dannmann’ flys to gold in Sweden MORNINGTON’S Daniel Arapakis flew his F3D aircraft to victory at the FAI F3D world championships in Sweden, 25-29 July. The Western Port Model Aero Club member – nicknamed ‘Dannmann’ – did Australia proud bringing home the gold medal and becoming junior world champion. Daniel is the first Australian junior to win a world championship in any facet of aeromodelling, his father Andrew Arapakis said. “He was race prepared with the finest aircraft, engines and propellers fastidiously engineered by Barry Murphy, which are world renowned for their reliability and performance.” Daniel flew his Minute Master racer for 14 rounds over three days to win the junior category. His times complemented the Australian seniors’ outstanding performances, with Australia also winning gold in the team event. The methanol-burning models, with top speeds
20 TO
of more than 350kph, are flown over 10 laps around a 400-metre pylon course. Three pilots at the same time compete against the clock aiming to finish in less than 60 seconds. Daniel averaged 59.44 seconds for the event which also gave him ninth overall in the open division. Forty-five pilots from 17 countries and four continents competed with Australia’s senior best performer, Beau Murphy, finishing seventh outright. On returning home, Daniel was presented with a life membership of the Western Port club for his achievements – an honour for a 16-year-old, Mr Arapakis said. Australia will host the next world championships in Queensland in 2019. “Our pilots are regarded as the best in the world for their skills, teamwork, support – and having fun,” Mr Arapakis said.

‘Engagement’ has benefits for all By Bob Simpson*
I SAT at last Wednesday’s Peninsula Voice event, hearing Les Twentyman’s experiences. This man “loves” disengaged young people with whom he engages. Could I genuinely “love” five homeless kids, causing trouble by sleeping in a council tip? That idea of a village raising a child constantly surfaced. MC Roberta Orton raised the ante – this is about disengaged children gaining an enduring sense of identity, meaning and purpose, connection, and belonging in our common world. My highlight was the “thanks” given by Cr Sam Hearn. He applauded Les Twentyman’s well-earned reputation; but thanked him for not coming to the peninsula as a hero to

be applauded. Twentyman came as an example: to us all. I see now it takes more than words to make a difference. We must exemplify Twentyman’s style of “love” to troublesome kids. We can do this. Some already are. Before and after the event (held to launch Twentyman’s book, The Mouth that Roared), I listened to representatives of service organisations. An older woman asked a young woman from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s youth services department whether they encouraged older people to engage with their clients. Interesting conversation. The young woman lit up as she mentioned Kids Hope to the older woman. Apparently, older people mentor disengaged children in
primary schools. A woman commissioner of the Scouts told me they had a 10 per cent increase in recruits on the peninsula, over the past year. I wonder how many more parents became involved? And, I wonder how they gain from their experience? Twentyman talks about people who are compassionate entrepreneurs. Some support him, hugely. They saw his impact; they checked him out;
their support flowed when he earned trust; quietly and unobtrusively. Entrepreneurs who have compassion for people; we need them. In The Mouth that Roared, Twentyman writes, “human beings have an inbuilt appetite for passionate commitment”. Therefore, if we need people to exemplify what’s ultimately important, we need to encourage more and more villagers to let their passion flow. This conversation raised a big question. When those five homeless kids find themselves fully engaged in our village, who ultimately gains? It must be the whole village. You, me and engaged young people being together. * Bob Simpson is a member of Peninsula Voice, the not-for-profit group of volunteers which organised the event.
Continued from Page 5 The business plan will include options for a 25-metre indoor pool, 50-metre indoor pool and a 50-metre outdoor pool, as well as health, fitness and wellbeing facilities. These will cater for pool programs, training, school competitions, education, health and fitness and special events. Other features will include multipurpose rooms for health and fitness classes, wellness centre featuring consulting, steam and sauna rooms catering for specialist services, such as massage and physiotherapy, relaxation, older adults and sports recovery. There will be a cafe, disability access, access ramps to the main pools, learn-to-swim pool and warm water program pool, wheelchair access to the spa within the warm water program pool, and family change rooms with disability or special needs facilities. All pool decks will be on the same level avoiding the need for lifts. “The shire has a higher than state average portion of older people living on the southern peninsula. The warm water program pool will provide a health and wellbeing resource for our older residents,” Cr Colomb said. Cr Colomb said the “development and consideration of the options available for an aquatic centre in Rosebud remains a priority of council”. The business case will lead to a report establishing costs, propose options, and “demonstrate whether the project is affordable and represents a value for money investment for council”, the shire said. It will also assess a project timeframe. The report is to be brought back to a council meeting by the end of December. With Keith Platt
Decision delayed on Cruden Farm homes plan A DECISION to push ahead with a residential subdivision in part of Langwarrin’s Cruden Farm has been delayed until later in the year. A planning application due to be discussed by Frankston councillors at August’s public council meeting on Monday 14 August was withdrawn by the trustees of the former homestead of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Frankston Council was set to deliberate on the contentious proposal to rezone parcels of land within the 54-hectare estate for residential development. State Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne would have to agree to move the Urban Growth Boundary to accommodate the building of more than 100 homes on about 15 hectares of land south of Cranbourne Rd and
east of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. The idyllic 54-hectare estate was Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s home for eight decades before her death in 2012 at the age of 103. Dame Elisabeth was the mother of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch. The estate was transferred into the name of Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013 and its trustees include several grandchildren of Dame Elisabeth but not the media mogul himself. Its gardens are sometimes open to the public and the estate hosts community and charity events at the behest of Dame Elisabeth who was a renowned philanthropist. A report by consultancy firm Urbis, commissioned by the Cruden Farm trus-
tees, has been obtained under freedom of information from Frankston Council by the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge. The group is opposed to the carve up of green wedge land for residential development. The Urbis report proposes opening up Cruden Farm as a “tourism gateway” for the Mornington Peninsula and mentions the possibility of “third party private sector operators” using part of the grounds for “commercial uses” such as a cafe or art gallery while the rest of the property is operated on a “not for profit” basis. The report also suggests schools could visit Cruden Farm for horticulture education purposes. The Urbis report reveals: “Discussions with Frankston City Council have
identified the potential for the Council’s indigenous plant nursery to be relocated to Cruden Farm, offering further learning opportunities in indigenous planting, bushland regeneration, and plant propagation.” Council’s indigenous nursery is currently located at McCulloch Avenue in Seaford. Defenders spokesman Barry Ross said the group is “not opposed to a lot of things suggested” but there is concern that “the gracious feel of Cruden Farm could be jeopardised”. “We think that the green wedge is sacred and shouldn’t be touched. There is a commitment to a permanent urban growth boundary,” Mr Ross said. “If the government approves this we’ll have a whole lot of other people on the boundary wanting their land rezoned as
well. It will open up the floodgates.” It is understood the trustees withdrew the planning application for consideration at August’s council meeting to include more detail in the proposal. Mr Ross noted the Urbis report did not include any financial figures to justify the trustees’ assertions that proceeds from the sale of the land for homes construction are needed to keep the grounds of Dame Elisabeth’s former homestead open to the public for generations to come. “It doesn’t substantiate it from a financial point of view. We don’t know what kind of income they’re getting in now, we don’t know what their expenses are.” The planning application may now be submitted to council in November. Neil Walker

Help record the nature of Western Port LIFESEARCH 2017 gives citizen scientists the opportunity to discover the plants, birds, insects, and other animals in the Western Port Biosphere Reserve. Lifesearch, the biosphere’s annual citizen science event for schools, individuals, families and community groups, runs throughout September to coincide with Biodiversity Month. All Lifesearch participants can make a contribution to the understanding of life in the Western Port Biosphere, as well as to the national Atlas of Living Australia database. There are prizes for the school, individual and team or group that record the most sightings during Lifesearch. Prizes include a family pass to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, a pass to Phillip Island nature parks, and a subscription to Australian Geographic magazine. Lifesearch sightings can be made in backyards, reserves and parks, beaches and school grounds within Frankston and Mornington Peninsula, on French island and in, on or over the waters of Western Port. Observation data is uploaded to the Atlas of Living Australia database. Lifesearch is inspired by 13-year-old Harewood Lyall, who lived at Harewood Homestead, Tooradin in the early 1900s. In 1912 he recorded his bird-watching observations in a notebook, which inspired the annual Western Port Biosphere Birdsearch event, first held in 2012. Perseverance Primary School on French Island currently holds the Shield. For information and t register fir this year’s Lifesearch go to www.biosphere.org. au/get-involved/lifesearch.

AGL chooses Crib Point for gas terminal Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ENERGY supplier AGL confirmed last week that it wants to have a floating gas terminal at Crib Point. The company says the Western Port site will “increase energy security and supply for customers in south eastern Australia”. If given the go ahead by the state government, AGL says it will “invest roughly $250 million” and begin construction in 2019 with a view to bringing the terminal online within the following two years. The government issued a statement on Thursday saying it “welcomed AGL’s decision … [and is] working closely with AGL to ensure approvals processes are streamlined to avoid unnecessary delays”. It said the project would create 40 permanent jobs “and many more during the construction phase”. The floating terminal plan also fits with the government’s decision not to back a container terminal at Hastings it favours Bay West, north of Geelong in Port Phillip - but to encourage the Port of Hastings to be used as a “bulk port”. “Crib Point is best placed to serve Victoria, Australia’s largest gas market, as well as take advantage of the existing pipeline network, industrial port facility and associated infrastructure,” the company stated in a new release from AGL’s wholesale markets executive general manager Richard Wrightson. “This doesn’t signal the end of the feasibility studies for the proposed site but now accelerates the process,” Mr
Imports: THE 176 metre long 30,000 tonne Grand Ace7 chemical and oil products tanker which visited Crib Point earlier this month is more than 100m shorter than gas tankers that may be used to bring LNG to AGL’s floating gas terminal. Picture: Gary Sissons
Wrightson said. “We look forward to ongoing consultation with the local community to answer their questions and proceed towards a formal application to the Victorian government. “This project will enable access to the world market for gas, injecting some much-needed competition into the Australian market and help ease the tight gas supply.” Mr Wrightson AGL is looking at “how best to modernise and decarbonise
the energy system … as Australia transitions to a carbon constrained future”. “Our strong balance sheet allows us to take a long-term view and invest our profits into renewable energy and strategic projects such as the gas import jetty and pipeline which will help underpin a more secure energy supply for Australia and has the potential, if required, to supply all of Victoria’s household and business customer gas needs,” he said. “As the largest generator of electricity in the country, we’re working hard
to deliver secure, reliable and affordable energy and increase competition in the east Australian gas market for domestic and industrial customers.” AGL’s decision to develop Crib Point comes as it announced a sharp turnaround in profits for the year to 30 June, with a net profit of $539 compared with a $408 million loss last year. AGL has predicted an underlying profit of $940 million-$1.04 billion in the coming year. As previously reported in The News,
(“Western Port suitable for gas ships”) AGL’s plan could see gas tankers of up to 290 metres long gas being used to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the floating terminal at Crib Point. Former Port of Hastings harbourmaster Captain Dick Cox said ship to ship transfers had previously been conducted safely at Crib Point and there may be no need for having fire tugs “on immediate availability … providing there is adequate fire control systems available on the jetty to international standard”. Western Port was one of three sites being investigated by AGL for its import terminal for LNG from Australia and overseas. The proposal to import LNG has highlighted government tax policies which make it cheaper for gas to be imported, even though Australia is one of the world’s two largest exporters. “The fact remains that Australia is exporting two-thirds of its gas overseas. [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull needs to put a cap on exports to provide immediate relief on prices,” the Premier Daniel Andrews said on Thursday. Capt Cox said the gas tankers were one of “the safest and cleanest types of ships in the world”. “Their fuel is the boil off from the cargo – [which means] no risk of damage to mangroves or seagrass from oil spills - which is kept liquid at minus 160 degrees Celsius - it has to be warmed before it can be put into the local grid which is the job of the permanently moored vessel, which, hopefully will be tied up at Crib Point No.2 Jetty,” he said.

It seems ownership and responsibility or lack of it is a concerning problem. I have worked on dairy and beef farms with cattle, pigs, chooks, horses, owned a dog, cat, budgie and other birds, and I can say every animal has its very own personality. It’s always sad to hear of a dog or cat turning up at a pound and then being euthanased because of a problem that’s created by us. Us, is how they got there in the first place. Pointing the finger at our council to be kinder and sort it out in some way or other seems irresponsible while we all go home and pat our pets, eat our beef patties, chicken stir fry, pork sausages, lamb shanks, eggs from locked up chickens that are given a square metre of dirt to walk on so as to call it free range. Think of the life some other creatures have to endure, held in captivity before being slaughtered enabling us to reap and enjoy whatever it is we want from them. Let’s not forget to mention those wild animals that are unfortunate not to make it to the pound. Blasted from their habitat as game, or a bullet to the head because they’re now a pest, or suffer a long painful death by poisoning called conservation. Owning a pet comes with long-term responsibilities, and we can all help to unburden council and volunteers if the simple rules were followed in the first place. Register your pet, obey all regulations, give it love, and care for its health, know where it is and, if you don’t want it anymore, try to find a new owner yourself. John Blogg, Somers
Special mention How would you like to receive a demand for more than $4000 from your local council – over and above the normal rates you pay? This happened recently to a small group of residents. For years Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has implemented special charge schemes to build concrete footpaths throughout the shire. Most residents have never heard of these schemes until they are hit with a huge bill. In tough financial times when everyday costs such as private health cover, gas, electricity and education costs are racing ahead of wages this has not stopped our council imposing a major financial burden on a handful of unsuspecting
ratepayers each year. Incredibly, not everyone who gets a new footpath has to pay the charge. Those affected do not get to vote on the matter and the only avenue of appeal (VCAT) is costly and unlikely to succeed. Why shouldn’t the council have to live within its means (using annual rate revenues) as do the residents it represents? The state government has now capped council rate increases, so some financial restraint by the shire should follow. But as the council knows a special charge scheme allows it to impose additional costs on residents and get around the rate capping restriction. It’s an easily exploited loophole. Faced with a significant resident backlash against these unfair charges the council has developed a Draft Special Charge Scheme Policy - now available for comment on its website. This draft is deficient in a number of areas. In particular, it should give affected residents the right to vote down a proposed scheme if it is seen as unreasonable, too costly and unfair. I would urge readers to respond to the draft and let council know that these schemes are unwelcome unless the majority of ratepayers involved are supportive. Geoff Allen, Sorrento
Centrelink blues The Mornington Peninsula has a high proportion of age pensioners and age part pensioners like myself. Part pensioners need to report changes in their income and assets to Centrelink on a regular basis because Centrelink directs that significant changes must be reported within two weeks. In the past I have written letters to them when my income and or assets have changed and have reasonably quickly had my pension adjusted accordingly. This year however I have found it very difficult, in fact impossible, to get the message through. I sent a letter on 7 April detailing my financial position but have received no response and no adjustment to my pension. I sent a reminder on 16 June, again without response. In desperation I went online to see if I could fix it, but got the message on screen that “updates are not possible at this time , try again later”. I really am at a loss what to do. It seems like Centrelink is just not functioning and I am concerned that when I finally get my financial position updated they may want me to pay money back, which is always very difficult. Another problem this year was that I bought
shares and needed to do a tax return. I waited until this week before starting my return online because I was waiting for my income statement from Centrelink, but found on enquiry that they had not sent them out since 2013 and it is necessary to request one online. I had not completed a tax return in recent years because I fell below the income threshold so I was unaware that this was the case. How on earth do those people get on who are not up to speed on computers? It seems to me that this is just another instance of our federal government’s incompetence. James McLoughlin, Balnarring
False information A Sorrento focussed group with no grasp of the issue claims to be very pleased with the outcome of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s decision about the Rye boat/jetski ramp. A real estate agent who has obviously been told a story but not checked if it was true (“Welcome decision” Letters 8/8/2017) says “hurrah” for that same decision. There are people, including councillors, who have been told Rye has a safety issue. No marine statistics substantiate this claim. There is the dubious belief that expansion will fix the algae and dredging issue. Isn’t that about lack of shire maintenance? A false story was put about claiming Rye would get no funding for the boat ramp, or the township plan, if council didn’t vote for the expansion. Another false story said it is only a minority group against the boat/jet ski expansion. Facts show there were 175 objections and only six for the expansion. Petition signatures show 1392 against and 362 for. By the way the “for” submissions appeared long after the closing date. Those opposing the boat/jet ski expansion (and it does include boaties) have only offered facts as their argument. This resident majority has been marginalised by councillors who, obviously, never questioned what shire officers were telling them. It seems everyone’s opinion is valid except the majority opposing the shire’s plans, which will ruin the future enjoyment of the foreshore and beach for the majority of users. Spare us all from ignoramuses and hedonists, as soon there will be nothing left of the coastal foreshore for the majority to enjoy. Mechelle Cheers, Rye
Barbarous treatment I am sickened by the barbarity shown by Australia’s treatment of refugees on Manus Island, [including] forcing them out of the detention centre by cutting power and water. Sanitation and cleaning stopped. To what end? To force them into East Lorengau where the local people
don’t want them. We, via Immigration, are treating refugees brutally. Why do we behave like fascist bullies? Deterrence, we are told. This is horrible. Shame, shame, shame. This is not my Australia. Patricia Rayner, Somers
Transport petition I would like to thank The News for giving us coverage to help advertise our petition for a complete bus service review on the Mornington Peninsula. It helped create more interest as we went to collect signatures. I would also like to thank businesses for their help in having the petition in their shops and for the helpers that stood on cold streets collecting signatures. Also, thanks to the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable transport project for advice and support. Keep an eye open as there is more action coming up as a follow up to the petition. Once again, a very big thanks to everyone that spent the time in signing the petition. Bob Dalmau, chairman Peninsula Residential Parks and Villages Group
Everyday terror Counter terrorism police in Sydney have allegedly foiled a plot to bring down a plane using a bomb hidden inside a meat grinder. Who travels with a meat grinder? There is, though, a twisted logic to the choice of this meat grinder. The meat industry is built on terror. Animals bred to be slaughtered have few legal protections. Young cows are branded with hot irons, their horns are cut or burned off and males have their testicles ripped out of their scrotums – all without painkillers. Chickens spend their short lives in filthy sheds with tens of thousands of other birds and are crammed into cages and sent to slaughter when they are only six or seven weeks old. Piglets are torn away from their distraught mothers, their tails are chopped off, the ends of their teeth are snipped off with pliers and males are castrated with no pain relief. Lambs are crammed onto trucks and transported for up to 48 hours with no access to food or water then slaughtered, surrounded by the smells of blood and faeces and the screams of their companions. Fish are impaled, crushed, suffocated or cut open and gutted, all while they’re fully conscious. We are surrounded by terror, and the symbolism of the meat grinder bomb illustrates the words of Pythagoras in 500BC: “For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.” Ashley Fruno, ssociate director, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Australia
Young leaders tackle pollution plight BANYAN Reserve wetlands in Carrum Downs was just the place for 100 young “marine ambassadors” to see and smell the tonnes of rubbish emptied from a gross pollution trap last week. The pupils – from St Macartans, Mornington, Kunyung, Mt Eliza and Woodlands, Frankston – investigated the trap which is designed to stop stormwater pollutants from being washed down from streets and entering Port Phillip Bay. The wetlands are described by Dolphin Research Institute executive director Jeff Weir as a world-class example of how to treat stormwater pollution. “Litter traps capture the larger pollution,” he said. “The ponds let sediment settle and the plant life takes up many of the soluble pollutants. “In moderate rains, the water will be quite clean by the time it leaves this site and flows into the bay via Kananook Creek. “In big storms, it overflows and everything goes into the bay. Most drains don’t have these systems and empty directly into the creeks and rivers that flow to our bays.
PAGE 14
“Treatment systems help when they are present, but the best solution is to stop things getting into drains in the first place.” The ambassadors’ experience was part of the Dolphin Research Institute’s ‘I sea, I care’ School Ambassador Program. The pupils are trained as peer educators who go back to their schools to share their experiences. The goal is to reduce pollutants entering drains and, ultimately, threatening our marine environment. “The institute is concerned about the link between water quality in the bay and the health of our dolphins,” Mr Weir said. “If it’s not safe for us to swim in our bay after rain, then it’s also not safe for our dolphins either. “We need to do much better.” The DRI is currently working on a major dolphin health study funded by the federal government.

Get tanked before the dry weather arrives TERRY Miller has been in the concrete tank business for over 38 years. Being from country North Victoria himself, Barawartha, Terry realises the importance of good water storage systems. Concrete water tanks built correctly will last a lifetime. They keep your water cool, clean and algae free. This is because the tanks have 5-inch walls and a 6-inch base, and are poured with 40-mpa strength concrete not 25 or 30mpa. We also use plasticiser to keep up the strength in the tanks instead of water. After 28 days curing the strength of the concrete will be 48 and 52 mpa. Each tank is poured individually on site. These tanks come out white, which is a sign of the strength of the tanks. The MPA is a measure of how much concrete there is as parts per 1000. The walls of the tanks are vibrated all around to make ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the concrete is compacted down. Terry generally builds tanks in three sizes, 50,000,

105,000 and 120,000 either with silo roof, concrete top or open top tanks. The tanks will not blow away or fall apart, this is particularly important high wind or fire prone districts. For fire prone areas they highly recommend concrete tanks rather than tin or plastic. In the event of a fire, a large tank (120,000 litres) can supply water back up to the main house. By setting up a petrol powered generator and pumping water up onto the house directly, via a reverse water sprinkler system, homes can be kept cool and wet. If need be, the tank can be used as protection to keep cool from flames and radiant heat. Water is our most important resource, and we cannot have too much of it.

Tax Time 2017 off to a flying start With lodgments up, complaints down and strong systems performance, the ATO is on track for another record-breaking year just five weeks into tax time. Tax Commissioner Chris Jordan said the ATO had worked extremely hard over the past few years to deliver a system which made completing your tax return as quick and painless as possible. “We understand that for the vast majority of Australians tax time is their only interaction with us each year, so delivering a seamless and straightforward service is paramount for us,” Mr Jordan said. “It’s pleasing to see that over four million returns have already been lodged successfully, which is an increase of around 350,000 returns compared with the same time last year. This includes over 2.5 million returns lodged through tax agents, which is an increase of 72,000 compared to this time last year.
“We’ve also issued nearly three million refunds worth a combined $6.8 billion, which is well up on last year. Most returns are processed well within our 12-day service standard, which means money going back into the community faster.” Mr Jordan acknowledged that the ATO had been under pressure to ensure its systems would hold up over the busy tax time period. “After the systems issues we experienced in December last year and in February this year, we knew we had a lot of work to do to restore community confidence,” Mr Jordan said. “Our people worked around the clock to ensure our systems were ready to cope with the surge of returns from 1 July – and the hard work has paid off. “Overall our systems are performing strongly, better than they were last year. We’re also receiving fewer complaints – nearly 30 per cent less than at the same time last year.”
Mr Jordan said myTax, the ATO’s streamlined lodgment tool, was more popular than ever. “Last year we saw three million people lodge their own return through myTax, which was a record at the time. I’m confident we’ll smash this record in 2017, with more than 1.6 million people already lodging through myTax,” Mr Jordan said. “If you’re using myTax, chances are most of your information will be pre-filled, you’ll have your return done in half an hour and a refund in your bank account in a week. These are just some of the reasons why it has a 93 per cent satisfaction rate with users. “And if you do need to call us for assistance, 85 per cent of calls are answered within our service standard of five minutes, with the average wait time being just over two minutes. “Ninety-two per cent of tax agent calls are answered within two minutes.”

EVENT PERFECTION
WHAT IS MY ROLE AS A CELEBRANT?
EVENT Perfection is at your service to create the perfect individualised wedding for each couple, offering DIY hire as well as setting up and styling. The team at Event Perfection work with function and event managers at many venues as well as individual brides and grooms or corporate clients. As the owners of www.diylollybuffet.com.au they also have a lot of fun creating lolly and dessert buffets for people. After being in the wedding industry for 25 years, owner Lynda Coombs loves what she is doing. “I have worked in the event and wedding industry for most of my career and everything has come to fruition in owning this business. I absolutely love what I am doing,” said Lynda, who has owned the business for a year now. “Event Perfection is the largest hire and set up event and wedding décor business on the Mornington Peninsula. We also work with many venues across Melbourne and bayside areas. Our business is large enough to be able to cater for most requests and if we don’t have it in stock, we will source it for our clients. Everyone has individual requests and we love being able to achieve a unique look and feel by creating something really special,” said Lynda.
THE elements of the story telling, the bonding...the capturing of memories, along with ethical and moral issues are just are just a small part of my business. Stories intrigue me, especially ones that touch your heart; I am a chatterbox, so this business of love, pain and the whole damn thing ticks all the boxes. Knowing I could offer people the choice on choreographing their day motivated me to forge ahead in this business. It is multifaceted, full of emotion, and problem solving. From sewing bride’s dresses that have had that last minute adjustment to fixing grooms suits, there are also days that you may have seen me chasing toddlers that have just been through a hedge backwards, wiping little faces and straightening clothes etc. From the moment you meet a client(s) you form a relationship of trust. Often this has continued well past the ceremony. Our clientele expect the best to be delivered. I like to think I help them to achieve this in a best-practice, high standard way. A successful ceremony is a beautiful and joyful celebration of the love that already exists. A romantic, significant, legally binding excuse for a marvellous party.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Young woman hit by car and killed in Mornington Compiled by Cameron McCullough A FATAL motor accident occurred at Mornington on Wednesday afternoon, (says the “Age”.) As Mr Albert Dawson, of Two Bay’s Nursery was crossing the street with his sister, Elsie ( Mabe) Dawson, a motor Car, driven an ordinary pace by Mr George Weigall, came round a corner, and before they could get clear it struck Miss Dawson to the ground, passing over her body. Mr Weigall who had observed them too late to prevent a collision, immediately pulled up the car. Miss Dawson, who was unconscious, and suffering from internal injuries, was conveyed to her home where she was attended by Dr Bird. The case was pronounced hopeless. Death occurred at 10 o’clock. Miss Dawson was 22 years of age. The funeral took place at Mornington on Thursday. *** THE “Australian.” Club will hold a dance in the Mechanics’ Hall this evening, to which all are welcome. *** MESSRS Adamson Strettle will hold their usual sale at Tanti, on Monday next for which good entries are advertised. *** THE infant son of Mr and Mrs J. Williams, of Frankston, is in hospital, very seriously ill. *** CR Oates invites the ratepayers of the North Riding of the Shire to attend a meeting at the Frankston Mechanics’, on Wednesday evening next, to hear him give an account of his stewardship during the last six years, as their repre-
sentative at the Council table. *** IN the course of an article on the treatment of pastures for the prevention of cripples, etc., in cattle in the Victorian Journal of Agriculture for the present month there is an interesting account by one of the Government Dairy Inspectors of a visit to the farms of the Misses Baxter at Mt Eliza and of Messrs Grindal and Jones of Moorooduc. *** THE Belgian cushion which was raffled by Miss Martindale has realized the sum of £2 3s for the Lady Mayoress’ Patriotic League. Mrs Scott, of Port Melbourne, is the winner of the cushion, holding ticket No 121. Miss Martindale is very grateful for the help she received from her Frankston friends. *** THE Pageant of Loyalty which was to have taken place in Frankston on Saturday last, and had to be postponed for the second time, on account of very wet weather, is to take place on Saturday, September 1st, and promises to be even a greater success than was ever anticipated. Larger committees have been formed and everybody is setting about their work in a manner which can only mean success. All bodies who expected, and had promised to take part in the proceedings, will look upon September 1st as a settled date, and one which will long be remembered. A grand concert is arranged to take place in the evening. *** AS a great number of people had hired
fancy costumes, to take part in the procession, and were unable to wear them on account of the wet day, a fancy dress dance was held on Saturday night, and many fine costumes were worn. Eighteen pence and one shilling was the price of admission, and over ten pounds was taken at the door, which will go towards paying the Pageant of Loyalty expenses. The “Wattle” Club gave the refreshments, having provided more than was necessary for the soldiers in the afternoon. Dancing was indulged in till twelve o’clock to music supplied by Mr Brierley, and a very happy evening was spent. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions. Monday August 13th, 1917. (Before Mr Cohen. P.M. and Messrs Williams, Oates, Crawford Grant, Murray and McLean Js.P.) CRUELTY TO A HORSE. F. C Ryan, Constable of police v Peter Nicotingo.Mr Cook appeared for the complainant. F. V. Taylor deposed that he was a motor garage a proprietor residing at Frankston. Remembered Friday 27th July. Saw accused on that day bring his horse into the yard of the Pier Hotel, and put it in the stable. The horse was in very poor condition. Accused made no provision for feeding the horse. Accused never rang witness up asking him to feed or water the animal. A. Evens deposed that he saw accused put the horse in the stable and corroborated the evidence of the former witness. The saddle and bridle were left on

the horse. Const Ryan deposed that he visited the Pier Hotel stables on 28th July, and saw a grey horse in a very emaciated condition. It was tied up with the bridle on and the bit in its mouth. He saw no sign of water or feed. On the Sunday following, the defendant went to him about the horse. He acknowledged that he had not left any instructions, with regard to feeding or watering the horse. For the defence accused said he was called hurridly to Melbourne on account of his mother’s illness and when he did not return the same evening he telephoned to Taylor the next duty to look after the horse. The Bench held the accused guilty, but on account of him being a pensioner and in ill health they would let him off with a fine of 20s in default 7 days imprisonment with 21s coats. USING UTTERANCES PREJUDICIAL TO RECRUITING Chas A. Tait appeared to answer the above charge. Mr Williams, instructed by an officer of the Crown Law Department appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Sunniberg for the defence. In outlining the case Mr Williams said the words were spoken by accused at a dinner given at the Pier Hotel on the evening of the 29th June when during an interval a lady asked the chairman’s permission to say a few words in favor of recruiting. Permission was given, and it was whilst the lady was speaking that the accused rose and said he objected to anyone speaking in favor, of recruiting and any woman who persuaded a man
to enlist, and that man was killed, was a murderess, and if a man did so he was a murderer. The accused was asked to retire from the room but refused to do so, when he was escorted to the door by two returned soldiers, he retired. Jas Grice, sworn, deposed that he remembered the evening of 29th June. Was chairman at dinner given at Pier Hotel on that evening. He gave permission for Mrs Heymenson to address those assembled. Accused objected to the lady speaking, and said she was as bad as a murderess. He was asked to withdraw his statement but he said he would not. He was then asked to leave the room and when he refused Messrs Taylor and Dial escorted him to the door. He was not the worse for drink. Messrs Taylor, Young, Brody and Mrs Heymenson corroborated the evidence of Mr Grice. Const Ryan said that he saw accused on the 8th July last when he handed the constable a written statement (which was read in court.) In the statement the accused said his mind was a blank to all that had occurred after he entered the supper room that evening, and he had no recollection of anything that had occurred, He must have been out of his mind at the time, and was very sorry for what he had said. He was a loyal subject and subscribed liberally to patriotic funds. The Bench considered the offence proved and the accused was fined £25 with £7 7s costs. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 August 1917
SCOTTISH SINGER-SONGWRITER ISLA GRANT HITS FRANKSTON Following her 2015 triumphant sell-out concert performances, Scotland’s legendary singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT returns to Australia with exciting new songs from her latest album release “I’m A Survivor” - plus her extensive repertoire of most loved music. The ever-popular singer will be touring with her equally talented husband AL GRANT and singer and multi-instrumentalist GLEN FLYNN. As an Internationally acclaimed recording artist ISLA GRANT’s distinctive voice encompasses all genres from country folk songs to easy listening compliments an evening of old favourites to new songs - this has established her as a major recording artist in the USA, Canada, U.K, Australia and New Zealand. The Triple-Platinum Recording singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT in Concert promises to be an unmissable event. ISLA GRANT hails from Scotland and a household name in Ireland and has developed a large following here in Australia and New Zealand. She started out as a folk singer, but these days she’s known as a singer/song writer whose music style crosses from country/folk to easy listening... The Allanton, Berwickshire based ISLA GRANT never had any doubts about career ambitions, having grown up around music, her father was a piper, her mother was a singer and her grandfather a fiddler. From the age of 14 Isla was performing in the folk clubs of Glasgow and Edinburgh.“The big acts working the folk clubs, at the time, were Eddie & Finbar Furey, The Dubliners & Billy Connolly, who was a member of the group named “The Humblebums” she recalled. A few years later Isla took her
music South of the Border, to the clubs of Northeast England, a tough learning ground for any newcomer in the business, where audiences clearly let it be known if they didn’t like a performance. Someone once remarked, “If you can work these clubs, you can work anywhere!” ISLA GRANT passed her apprenticeship with flying colours. Around this time her music moved away from folk to country and she started listening to the music of Merle Haggard, “He is possibly the finest country artist of them all, his songs have got me through a lot of hard times over the years”. The club scene also brought her in contact with Al, who was heading up his own band. They married in 1992, after having worked as Isla Grant & Al Young. ISLA GRANT had built up a considerable repertoire, but facing an audience again would be a traumatic ordeal. However, having made the decision she appeared at a theatre in Kelso, where she received an immediate & enthusiastic response and she soon overcame all fear & trepidation.A recording deal was struck with a record company in Dublin, who also represent Foster & Allen. Now after 11 albums, some of which have gone triple platinum, ISLA GRANT has branched out and started her own record label (I.G.E) and released her first album on her own label in October 2008. ISLA GRANT now tours the world and has an ever-increasing fan base that enthusiastically support her live concerts and album releases.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Fist Bump Your Way to Glory By Stuart McCullough IT’S weird, when you think about it. In fact, if you give it any more than a moment’s thought, it’s downright bizarre. The idea of greeting someone by offering your hand to them so that they might place their palm against yours while a pair of conjoined knuckles bump up and down – it’s a ritual from another age. For starters, it’s desperately unhygienic. Not to mention the fact that some people – try as they might – just can’t do it properly. Too soft and it’s a sign of weakness. Too rough and people will either think your unhinged or President Trump; if, indeed, those two things are in fact different. The origins of the handshake go right back to at least the fifth century BC, probably right after the first ever tennis match. It’s believed that the ritual developed as a gesture of peace, a way of demonstrating that you were unarmed. Notwithstanding the irony of proving that you’re unarmed by offering your hand, a custom developed and has been with us ever since. Frankly, it’s unnecessary. I shouldn’t have to prove to you that I am not packing heat. That much should be assumed. And it’s strange that something that’s meant to be a friendly gesture could, in fact, be passing on scabies. There are different types of handshakes. The scouting movement prefers to shake with the left hand, catching the unwitting off their guard. Doubtless, the reverse handshake owes much to the scouting motto – ‘Be Prepared’. If you’re ready when someone thrusts his greasy southpaw in your direction, you’re pretty much ready for anything. Freemasons (apparently) have a secret handshake. There’s also the ‘double hander’ in which you use your free left hand to grip the recipient’s forearm. It’s either a gesture of intimacy or preparation for a judo throw. The world’s record for the longest handshake was set in 2008. Clocking in at nine hours and thirty minutes, Kevin Whittaker and Cory Jens
entered the handshake hall of fame. I’m not sure how you’d go about congratulating someone for an achievement of that nature. Normally, you’d shake hands, but that seems like overkill in this instance. Clearly, though, this was a record that was highly coveted and it was broken the following year by Jack Tsonis and Lindsay Morrison who shook hands for a staggering twelve hours and thirty four minutes. I can only hope they’re still on speaking terms. Sadly, there was barely time to bask in the afterglow of their achievement before their record was smashed the following week by Matthew Rosen and Joe Ackerman who took it north of fif-
teen hours and presumably had nothing better to do. In January 2011, the record book was rewritten with four people sharing the honours. Alistair Galpin, Don Purdon and brothers, Rohish and Santosh Timilsina succeeded in shaking hands for thirty three hours and three minutes. That’s more than a day. I’m not sure what the mechanics of a handshake like that must be or how they navigate the call of nature, but I suspect there would be moments when a handshake of such dimensions would be confronting. It’s obvious that we’ve taken the handshake just about as far as it can go. It’s time we moved on to something that’s ‘next level’.
Say a big ‘hello’ to the fist bump. In stark contrast to the handshake, there’s little in the way of contact and, therefore, a lot less bacteria. But it’s got so much more than its hygienic superiority in its favour. The handshake has its origins in proving you don’t have a weapon. It’s practically a gesture of surrender. The fist bump, however, comes to us from the sport of boxing. It’s a sign of respect. A handshake is just a handshake. But a fist bump has lots of other incredibly cool names, like the ‘power five’, ‘PIB’ (which stands for ‘pound it bro’) and, my personal favourite, ‘pibbys’. More than that, a fist bump was how the Wonder Twins transformed themselves into some other object. Barely an episode of ‘Super Friends’ passed by without Zan and Jayna performing an alien fist bump and declaring ‘Wonder Twin powers – activate!’ You don’t get superpowers with a handshake. Not ever. Sweaty palms? No problem. With a power five, no one need ever know. Concerned that your handshake will betray you as never having done a day’s manual labour in your life? Well fear no more. The fist bump has you well and truly covered. Fit for any occasion, it’s truly a greeting for the twenty first century. So don’t be shy. Whether you’re being interviewed for a big new job or congratulating the parish priest after the Sunday ceremony, give the fist bump a whirl. And if the person you’re trying to greet looks confused at your attempt to give a power five, don’t despair. You’ll be able to comfort yourself that your proposed greeting has just a fraction of the germs as well as being the salutation of choice of many of world’s most talented sports people. As for me, I’m not sure I ever really mastered the handshake. So if you see me down the street, don’t be offended if I decline to shake your hand. Just offer me pibbys and we’ll be fine. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Mornington News 15 August 2017

Redlegs win after siren and move into five PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt MT ELIZA moved back inside the top five in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Sunday after an after-the-siren victory against Mornington at Alexandra Park. James Hammond took a wonderful pack park in the goal square with just seconds on the clock and then went back and converted after the siren to hand the Redlegs a five point win. Despite the fact that an inexperienced, more committed Mornington side appeared the better side all afternoon, Mt Eliza always seemed to have the answers at the right time. Warwick Miller was clearly the most influential and best player on the ground with seven goals for Mornington but it wasn’t enough to claim the victory. The Redlegs are now inside the top five by less than two per cent, pushing Seaford out of the top bracket. In the final game of the season, Seaford plays Bonbeach at Bonbeach while Mt Eliza hosts bottom of the ladder Langwarrin. The final five is now set. It what was a critical game for Seaford against Edithvale-Aspendale at home on Saturday. Despite drawing level in the last quarter, the Tigers went down by seven points, 11.14 (80) to 12.15 (87). The loss dropped the Tigers out of the top five, equal on points with Mt Eliza by two percent in arrears. The Tigers lost the game with a poor first quarter, down by 31 points at the first change. They rallied until the end but once again the Eagles showed they are true contenders for the title. Charlie Martello snagged four for
the winners and Jeremy Heys and Timmy Mannix were superb. Curtus Murfett, Rourke Fischer and Damian Rayson were superb for the Tigers. Pines returned the winner’s list on Saturday after four straight losses, beating Chelsea by 10 goals. The game was tight early but the Pythons shifted up a gear in the second half, booting 10 goals to four to win 18.12 (120) to 9.6 (60). The Pythons seemed to have lost their way since star Aaron Edwards went down with a knee injury but they regained their mojo on Saturday. Pythons coach Pat Swayne said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that his side had been maintaining its standards in every area, other than conversion. “Aaron was converting his opportunities in front of goal at 87 per cent – that’s ridiculous accuracy,” Swayne said. “We have been right there in our losses and all of our other key performance indicators like contested footy, inside 50’s etc have been consistent all season. It was just that conversion that was hurting us. “Against Seaford last week we had our chances but booted 1.5 and two out-of-bounds on the full. You can’t win games with that return,” Swayne said. It’s conversion as pretty good on Saturday, booting 18 of 30 opportunities at goal. More impressively, Pines had 10 contributors on the scoreboard. Despite the loss, it’s been an exciting week for the Seagulls with Brett Dunne handing over the coaching reigns to James Brain in 2018. Dunne has done a superb job with the club since taking over as coach and has
provided great stability after having five coaches in five seasons. He has been well-supported by the hard working executive and committee at the club also. Current Mordialloc-Braeside Under 17 coach Dan Knopers will take over the Gull’s Under 19s next season in another exciting development or the club. More exciting news at Karingal too with Michael Burke declaring he will go around again next season to celebrate the new social rooms and of course be around to help celebrate the 300th game of great mate Luke VanRaay, who is missing at the moment with a knee injury. Burke, who is tipped to win his 10th club best and fairest this season, is showing no signs of slowing down. Unfortunately though on Saturday against Bonbeach, the Bulls were not able to push in the second half, going down by 39 points, 13.6 (84) to 6.9 (45). Riley Hodson “brought his own footy” to Lloyd Park in Frankston YCW’s 16.18 (114) to 6.5 (41) win against Langwarrin. Hodson booted five majors and was the best player on the ground in what was Craig Nankervis’ 250th game for the club. Nankervis was only the seventh player in the club’s history to play 250 games. Nick Tuddenham and Michael Parker were the best of the Kangas. Too hot to handle: Frankston YCW got up easily over Langwarrin on Saturday. Picture: Scott Memery
Top five tussle down to final round NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt THE battle for a place in the top five will come down to the final game of the season this Saturday in MPNFL Nepean Division football. Red Hill and Dromana are separated in fifth and sixth position by just 1.64 percent going into the final round. Red Hill faces Tyabb and Dromana plays Rye in the last game. The Hillmen went into Saturday’s round holding a .6 per cent lead over Dromana, however, with a convincing 78-point victory over Crib Point, were able to extend their margin (121.76 per cent v 120.12 per cent). Dromana too faced a tough contest against Pearcedale at Pearcedale but walked away with a 77-point victory. Meanwhile, Rosebud booted the last three goals of the game in the final 12 minutes in the last quarter to force a drawn game with Hastings. The Blues’ form had been strong coming into the clash with narrow losses against the competition’s powerhouses Sorrento and Frankston Bombers. At the 14-minute mark of the last quarter, Hastings’ star Paul Rogasch booted his sixth goal of the match and extended the margin to what appeared to be a match-winning 17 points. However, a snap from Aaron Rose and a conversion to Brenton Payne in the dying minutes dragged the scores to 10.12 (72) apiece.
PAGE 50
Anthony Pegg and Sean Downie were superb for the Buds while Rogasch, Stevey Robb and Matt Clifford on Keegan Downie were fantastic for the Blues. It was Rosebud’s first match against a top side in the past two months. However, it would need to improve considerably on that performance on Saturday to be considered a genuine threat for the title. Chris Irving booted seven goals and was dominant for Red Hill against Crib Point, helping his side to a 19.22 (136) to 9.4 (58) win. Brad Davidson booted four second-half goals and Luke Herrington played arguably his best game of the season. Matt Hammond and Rikki Johnston booted four goals each in Dromana’s 20.13 (133) to 8.8 (56) win against Pearcedale. In what appeared to be a danger game for the Tigers, they were able to boot 11 goals to four after half time. Shaun Clarke was again outstanding, this time pushing forward and booting three goals. Andrejs Everitt made it nine goals in two weeks after booting four majors in Somerville’s 14.20 (104) to 4.7 (31) victory over Tyabb. Timmy McGenniss and Benny Sedgewick were outstanding in the win. In the final game, Sam Fox booted six goals and Jason Kingsbury four in Frankston’s strong 18.18 (126) to 8.5 (53) win against Devon Meadows.

MPNFL clubs ‘to take control’ By Toe Punt MORNINGTON Peninsula Nepean Football League clubs may be forced to investigate alternative administration to manage their competition after their calls for a structure not involving South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs once again fell on AFL South East deaf ears at a meeting held last Wednesday night. MPNFL club delegates met at Frankston Bombers last week and once again voted unanimously against any divisional structure that included South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs. However, AFL South East General Manager John Anderson, who asked if he could attend the meeting, once again refused to provide his views on the proposal. What Mr Anderson was keen to push across though was his claims that a number of clubs wrote to him after the proforma letter was sent to
say they supported divisional football. He would not share details of who those clubs were. Regardless, for the second time in a month, clubs in attendance voted unanimously against the AFL South East recommendations of a three-tier divisional structure involving SENFL. Mr Anderson was joined at the meeting by AFL South East commissioners, former Frankston YCW star Paul Theobald and former EdithvaleAspendale president Ted Turner. MPNFL clubs may be left with no other choice but to seek alternatives to their governance. Meanwhile, SENFL Clubs are also feeling frustrated over the constant procrastination of the region’s governing body to make a decision, given it was supposed to hand down recommendations at the end of 2016. Already this year, the submission period was extended, despite the MPNFL’s staunch stance, whilst a commission decision was deferred last
week to 21 August. There’s still no guarantee that a decision will be made on 21 August, despite recommendations being heard on that date by the commission. In a landscape that currently seems shaky, one thing is for certain, SENFL clubs are becoming increasingly frustrated, their hands tied in planning for 2018. Kahl Heinze, a former Narre Warren president and a key member in leading the Casey-Cardinia breakaway from the MPNFL, took to social media to express his frustrations. “It’s been said before – the answer that’s best for SENFL Clubs is an en-masse move to Southern Football League to create a new premier division,” Mr Heinze wrote. “AFL SE has ignored this completely the whole time. Nepean and Peninsula have been steadfast in their stance for three years so divisional football was never going to involve the MPNFL Leagues. “I’m sorry
to say this but the AFLSE has been asleep at the wheel on this one – politics and regional commission boundaries have proven to be more important to our governing body than the survival of clubs in the SENFL. “Maybe it’s time for a review into the effectiveness of the AFLSE itself,” he said. It is believed that the struggling Hampton Park is seeking a lifeline in the Southern League, leaving just eight SENFL clubs, something they are not enthusiastic about with fees split between fewer clubs putting additional financial pressure on the clubs. A number of SENFL Clubs, including Pakenham, Cranbourne and Beaconsfield, released statements last week supporting AFL South East’s stance on a divisional structure involving MPNFL clubs. The alternatives being flagged by the SENFL Clubs are to join a neigh-
bouring league en-masse or going it alone to seek new homes which would fracture and eventually break the SENFL competition. SENFL clubs are clearly understanding and supportive of the MPNFL clubs’ plight, although they are rightly and understandably seeking the best interests of themselves and the future of their own competition. The MPNFL clubs are doing the same thing and it doesn’t involve SENFL. So, is a decision made based on the best interests of eight or nine clubs who generally admit geographically it doesn’t make sense or do MPNFL clubs get listened to? If AFL South East’s stance on Wednesday night is any indication, then divisional football will be introduced regardless of the unanimous thoughts of its member clubs. With that, the clubs just may feel they have little choice but to seek alternative administration.
Season on the line for Langwarrin, Mornington SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN and Mornington go head-to-head on Saturday at Lawton Park in the most anticipated contest on the peninsula for years. At stake is a place in next season’s National Premier League second division and the honour of becoming the first local outfit to gain entry to Victoria’s elite club competition. Langy’s lead in the race for the State 1 South-East title was cut to five points over Mornington last weekend. While Gus Macleod’s side had to settle for a point in a controversial 0-0 draw away to Manningham United, Adam Jamieson’s men were engineering a stunning 3-2 come-from-behind away win over Caulfield United Cobras. Caulfield’s Mario Hofmann had Mornington on the back foot when he opened the scoring after just four minutes and two excellent defensive plays inside the area by youngster Charlie Parker stopped the home side from increasing its lead. On both occasions, Parker didn’t dive in but used his body well to first outmanoeuvre beanpole striker Cort Kibler-Melby in the 24th minute then Hofmann in the 36th minute. Then the man that can’t stop scoring, Sammy Orritt, levelled in the 38th minute from close range. A minute later Wayne Gordon made it 2-1 when he came steaming in at the back post to hammer home Ryan Paczkowski’s cutback from the left of the area. A minute into the second period Gordon headed wide from point-blank range following Keegan Ziada’s cross from the left and Caulfield keeper Dennys Martin did well to parry a Paczkowski shot in the 66th minute following a fine pass from Scott Millar. Four minutes later Caulfield midfielder Joe Summerbell curled his shot onto the bar after a great run by Chris Smack but Caulfield captain Danny Topping’s back post header in the 75th minute made it 2-2. Jamieson rolled the dice by bringing on central defensive stalwart Stevie Elliott and playing him up front and it was a gamble that would pay enormous dividends. With Mornington’s title tilt in the balance and the clock ticking over into the second minute of time added Orritt

gained possession wide on the right. He jinked this way and that creating enough room for a cross and when he delivered he put the ball on a plate for Elliott who came thundering in to power his header home for the decider. The celebrations which followed showed how much this meant to Mornington’s players, bench and supporters. Meanwhile up at Park Avenue Reserve the travelling Langy fans were bemoaning referee Manny Haractsis’ decision to ignore penalty appeals in the 89th minute. Substitute Navin Vellupilay played a one-two with Alex Metcalfe then was felled inside the area but play was waved on. A few minutes earlier gun Langy import Connor Belger had broken through into a one-on-one with Manningham keeper Mathew Banovic but shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Despite Belger’s miss, he remains the man who holds the key to Langy’s fortunes this weekend while the club will test the fitness of defender Kieron Kenny and striker Liam Baxter.
There’s little doubt that one of the men Langy must curtail is 24-year-old Englishman Orritt. His signing in June has been a masterstroke and he has become Mornington’s talisman. The former Rotherham United junior has taken State 1 by storm with nine goals in seven games and is a class act. While the title race is yet to be decided no such doubt exists in the State 1 South-East reserves competition with Ronnie Whitton’s Langwarrin defeating Manningham 1-0 to clinch the championship. Substitute Mitch Blake scored the winner in the 80th minute. Langy’s closest rival was Clifton Hill but it went down 4-2 to St Kilda while Mornington took over second spot with a 4-0 win in curious circumstances. Both Caulfield and Mornington reserves squads arrived at Victory Park to find that the ground hadn’t been marked out but referee Dragoslav Mirkovic was in a benevolent mood and allowed the game to start 24 minutes after the appointed kick-off time of 1pm and con-
sist of 35-minute halves. What had started in bizarre fashion descended into farce in the second half when the referee indicated to the Mornington bench that if they didn’t substitute Irishman Mick Richardson then he was going to send him off. No prizes for guessing Richardson’s reaction as he headed for an early shower. Mirkovic had far less impact on proceedings as an assistant referee in the senior match. Southern United’s under-13s have both hands firmly on the NPLW championship but can’t hold the trophy aloft just yet. Their 2-1 win away to Bulleen on Sunday gives them a seven-point lead over Calder United plus a vastly superior goal difference with just three games left. Southern’s goalscorer was Brianna Watson, her first came two minutes before the break and the second seven minutes into the second half. The seniors (8.30pm) and under-18s (6.30pm) play at Bulleen’s Veneto Club tonight (Monday). Peninsula Strikers are staring down the barrel after going down 6-3 to visitors Beaumaris on Saturday. Declan Byrne opened the scoring for Beaumaris in the 11th minute but his contribution ended in the 84th minute when he was sent off. Other Beaumaris scorers were Kieron Kennedy (28th, 61st), Adam Hester (37th, 44th) and Toby Nowell (85th). Raphael Stulz (5th, 92nd) and Chris McKenna (70th) scored for Strikers. Doncaster Rovers leapfrogged Strikers with a 3-1 win home win over North Caulfield on Saturday night pushing the Centenary Park club into second last spot in State 2 South-East. Another local State 2 club, Seaford United, continued its miserable season with a 7-0 drubbing away to title contender Eltham Redbacks on Saturday all but condemning Paulo Pinheiro’s side to a last-placed finish while Frankston Pines’ 0-0 home draw with Old Scotch pushes Pines five points clear of the relegation zone. Skye United clings on to a one-point lead over third-placed Brandon Park in State 3 South-East and faces a crucial fixture on Saturday against State 3 South-East champion elect Knox City at Skye Recreation Reserve. Skye won 2-0 away from home against Noble Park on Saturday while
Brandon Park thumped bottom side Sandringham City 7-2 and now has the same goal difference as Skye and has scored more goals. Both clubs meet in round 22 in what looms as a season-defining contest. Although Skye dominated most of the possession in the early exchanges on Saturday Noble Park was denied by the crossbar on three occasions. However midway through the half Marcus Collier found space in the box and lashed home a strike to give the visitors the lead. The second half was much of the same as chances went begging for the visitors but after some nervous moments in defence Skye substitute Lawrence Komba won a penalty in the 90th minute and skipper Mark O’Connor calmly finished it off. The match ended on a sour note for Skye with Johnny Andrinopolous being sent off after receiving a second yellow card deep into injury time. Baxter’s hopes of promotion from State 4 South came to a full stop on Saturday with a shock 4-1 loss to secondbottom side Hampton Park United. Hampton Park led 2-0 at half time with goals from Daniel Milne (8th minute) and Mitchell Hawkins (25th) while a second-half double from Adrian Mirauta completed the rout. Baxter’s sole response came from leading scorer Mark Pagliarulo. Springvale City remained on top of the State 4 South table with a 3-0 win over Rosebud Heart at Ross Reserve on Friday night. Springvale’s scorers were Adem Alicevic (7th minute), Minas Leminded (31st) and substitute Dzenan Mujcic (87th). This weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Mornington (Lawton Park), Frankston Pines v Beaumaris (Monterey Reserve), Seaford Utd v Old Scotch (North Seaford Reserve), Skye Utd v Knox (Skye Recreation Reserve), Baxter v Harrisfield Hurricanes (Baxter Park), Rosebud Heart v Hampton Park Utd (Truemans Road Reserve), Somerville Eagles v White Star Dandenong (Barber Reserve). SATURDAY 7pm: Heatherton Utd v Peninsula Strikers (Bosnia and Herzegovina Centre). SUNDAY 3pm: Southern Utd v NTC (Monterey Reserve, U13s bye, U15s 11.30am, U18s 1pm).

Blairgowrie boxer clashes gloves with China’s champ By Ben Triandafillou BLAIRGOWRIE boxer Jayde ‘J-Mitch’ Mitchell faced the undefeated Super Middleweight Champion of China, Aniwaer Yilixiati, in a much-anticipated match-up on Friday 4 August at the Melbourne Pavilion. Aspiring to become a world champion, Mitchell put his WBA Oceania and WBC OPBF Super Middleweight titles and world ranking on the line to face one of his toughest opponents to date. Mitchell was struck with a powerful blow from Yilixiati in the first round and dropped to the ground where he was “gone” for a short period. Returning to his feet and regaining his focus, Mitchell was able to bounce back and proved his dominance in the ring defeating Yilixiati by unanimous decision in a hard-fought 10-round battle. “He was the toughest fight of my career by far,” Mitchell said. “He was such a big puncher and had great balance, power and timing - he was more than just a slugger. “He’s part Turkish, had about 200 amateur fights and was moved to China where he has been groomed to become world champ. “They thought he would be too much for me
but that didn’t work out.” Initially suffering a setback with Yilixiati’s visa, Mitchell had a legitimate reason to fight a lesser opponent if he wished and defend both titles against them but instead waited until the issue was resolved. “I wanted to prove to myself that I belong in the ring with some of these top fighters,” he said. “All the training would have been wasted and I have to face these tougher opponents if I want to make it further. “That’s why I was over the moon to take on such a seasoned amateur fighter and beat him in the fashion I did.” Mitchell sparred with the hard-hitting and two times Super Middleweight World Champion Sakio ‘The Scorpion’ Bika in preparation for the fight. “I needed someone like Sakio [Bika] so I could feel comfortable with that sort of power,” he said. “I’ve always had fairly good movement but knowing that Yilixiati was such a big puncher I needed to feel more comfortable when facing it. “By the end, I definitely respected his power but I certainly didn’t fear it.” Mitchell is now preparing to return to the Melbourne Pavilion on the 6 October with his opponent yet to be announced.

By Ben Triandafillou AUSSIE Rules enjoyed an international flavour at Peninsula Grammar, Mt Eliza last week when Great Britain and Fiji played in the second round of the AFL International Women’s Cup. Great Britain got off to a flying start at the Harry Macdonald Oval, but seemed to tire early in the third quarter. A fired-up Fiji made a late surge and, with eight minutes left to go, had narrowed the gap to only two points. A late goal from Great Britain’s Stacey Hughes broke Fiji’s momentum and secured her side’s second cup victory: Great Britain 5.3 (33) beat Fiji 3.6 (24). Peninsula Grammar’s Acting Director of Sport, Shona Middleton, described the atmosphere as “incredible” and said it was great to
have the match played at the school. “Everyone was really energetic and excited to have a professional game played at Peninsula Grammar,” she said. “We had amazing interest from across our school from the kinder children to Year 12. They surrounded the oval to watch the historic match. “The Year 4 students even created a guardof-honour with banners made for Fiji and Great Britain adding to the great atmosphere.” Among the crowd was Year 9 student Saige Bayne, who just returned from Western Australia, where she helped Victoria to a grand final triumph over New South Wales in the School Sport Australia 15 and Under Australian Rules Football Championship.
