Riding into unknown FOR more than three decades, Riding for the Disabled has been bringing joy to the lives of special needs families through its volunteerrun equestrian program at Balnarring.

But the property the group has used since 1981 to provide groups of disabled people the liberating pleasure of riding horses in a tranquil bush setting was recently sold.

The owners have kindly permitted the program to continue until the end of the year, but after that, Riding for the Disabled Peninsula will need to find a new home.

Volunteer Jenny Stidston said RDA Peninsula, which is one of 37 Riding for the Disabled centres across Victoria, provided about 60 riders a week the opportunity to enjoy the “wonderful experience of sharing their lives with the 70 volunteers and 10 remarkable horses�. “Apart from the physical benefits of being outside and sitting upright on a horse, the riders, mostly children, also get the wonderful and satisfying experience of building a relationship with a big, gentle animal who is happy to see them every week,� she said. “This gives the children a huge boost of self-confidence and self-esteem and they love the time they have riding and look forward to their regular rides with their horses.�

The group is now looking for a new home base and has put the call out to peninsula property owners who might be able to help.

Anyone able to help find a new home to enable RDA Peninsula to continue its programme for disabled children is asked to contact Jenny Stidston on 0439 896 158.

Possum link to ulcer cases Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au NEW cases of the flesh-eating Bairnsdale ulcer have been found on the southern Mornington Peninsula.

Dr Daniel O’Brien, deputy director of infectious diseases at Barwon Health, said he had treated “six or seven� cases in the Rye, Blairgowrie and Sorrento areas in the past 12 months. These are among up to 20 cases reported since 2006.

There is no clear cause of the condition widely thought to be confined to

the Bellarine Peninsula, where up to 60 cases have been reported over the past few years.

Dr O’Brien said on ABC radio last week that, despite experts being unable to pinpoint a cause for outbreaks on this side of the bay, they had noted an abundance of the ulcer bacterium in possum poo.

This does not mean possums are carriers, he said, or that they are inked with the transmission of the disease.

Dr O’Brien said studies by medical researchers Paul Johnson and Janet Fyfe, of BiomedExperts, had detected

possum faeces “teeming with ulcer bacterium� in areas where the condition had been found. In areas where the disease had not been found, possum poo was not so contaminated.

It is possible the possums suffer from the ulcers themselves.

He emphasised transmission to people may be caused by mosquito bites or contaminated soil – possibly containing possum poo - entering cuts on the hands of gardeners. “Possums may be accused of amplifying the disease, but we are not advocating killing possums,� Dr

O’Brien said. “All we know is that they get infected and, in some areas, their faeces are teeming with bacteria. “The race is now on to determine what role, if any, possums play.�

Dr O’Brien said it was “important people on the southern peninsula know this disease is around�. “Even if we don’t know what causes it, we should take steps to prevent it. “Gardeners should wear gloves, clear possum poo from soil, and wash their hands. The condition can be cured but early detection is better.�

He said peninsula doctors were well versed on the disease and had the appropriate medicines at hand. Treatment can involve extensive courses of antibiotics – which can cause unwanted side effects – and repeated visits to medical clinics.

The Bairnsdale ulcer is so named because it was first detected in Victoria in East Gippsland in 1948.

Professor Peter MacCallum wrote a description of the disease when treating patients there.

Fire chiefs warn of ‘extreme’ bushfire risks Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au EMERGENCY services authorities are warning Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents to brace themselves for a prolonged bushfire season of extreme risk due to unusually dry conditions and predictions of higher than average temperatures over the spring and summer months.

Country Fire Authority, Department of Primary Industries and council officers are stepping up efforts to reduce fuel loads across a number of high-risk locations on the peninsula in response to warnings of “significant” risks during an “above normal bushfire season”.

Residents are also being urged to reduce fuel loads and ensure their properties are clear of potential hazards.

Mornington Peninsula shire council announced last week burn-off restrictions applying to small properties would be eased during October for fire prevention purposes.

Shire officials will also conduct inspections of properties to identify fire risks.

Owners of properties deemed as posing a fire risk will be issued official notices requiring them take immediate action to remove the hazard identified. Failure to comply carries hefty penalties.

Areas around the Mornington region identified as being at “extreme risk” of bushfire and with potentially “catastrophic” consequences due to population density include Mt Martha and Mt Eliza.

Further south, Rosebud, Main Ridge, Arthurs Seat and Waterfall Gully are identified as the highest risk locations.

Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said this year’s rainfall deficit and the likely early start to the bushfire season meant areas such as the Frankston and the peninsula needed to be at a heightened level of preparedness.

A seasonal outlook released by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Cen-

tre in conjunction with state fire services predicts above average Spring temperatures and below average rainfall for Victoria.

In response, Mr Lapsley said authorities were preparing for “an above normal bushfire season”, particularly in areas with grass, bush and higher populations, such as the Frankston and peninsula region.

“The last fire season challenged fire-fighters and community members alike and Victoria’s emergency management sector is already preparing across the state for the next,” Mr Lapsley said.

CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson echoed Mr Lapsley’s warnings and said fire authorities were now focussing efforts on reducing risks and urging residents to ensure they were prepared.

Mr Ferguson said the warnings contained in the seasonal outlook were of “significant” concern to the CFA. “It reminds us that August has been a very dry month across much of Victoria and … rainfall predictions suggest it's going to be a drier than normal season,” he said.

CFA operations officer for the Mornington Peninsula Sean Kerr said rainfall this year were about 100mm lower than average, which meant vegetation would dry out “a lot quicker” than normal as temperatures heat up.

“What that means is there is a lot more fuel on the ground; trees drop more foliage, as well as bark and branches, and grass and shrubs dry out,” Mr Kerr said.

“So it’s vital we carry out as much clearing as possible to reduce the fuel load, and it’s important property owners do likewise.

“With the sorts of conditions predicted, preparation is essential.”

He said the peninsula was one of the highest risk regions in the country for bushfires, while the high number of residents meant risks to life and property were extreme.

“People love the peninsula because they can live close to nature, but that obviously comes with some risk,” Mr Kerr said.

“We chose to live like this, but we need to ensure we do everything possible to minimise the risk, and that means ensuring you have an active bushfire plan so that you know exactly what to do if a fire breaks out.”

He said peninsula residents and visitors needed to be particularly aware of traffic issues, with roads highly susceptible to gridlock.

“Our advice is for people to leave at the earliest possible opportunity when fire warnings are issued,” Mr Kerr said.

“People need to be aware of potential traffic gridlock in times of emergency, which means they might not be able to get out if they leave it too late.

“Traffic conditions can be very heavy at the best of times over the summer months with thousands of holiday makers on the roads, so the potential for people getting trapped if they leave things too late is significant.”

Mornington Peninsula fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said the shire was in “full swing”

preparing for the upcoming fire season, with the annual Fire Inspection Program to begin shortly.

“The shire will focus its fire inspection efforts in areas of higher bushfire and grassfire risk on the Mornington Peninsula including Arthurs Seat, Mt Martha, the elevated rural hinterland areas of Main Ridge and Red Hill as well as many coastal communities adjoining large expanses of National Park,” he said.

“Owners of properties that may pose a fire risk will be issued a fire prevention notice under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958.

“Re-inspections will also be undertaken to ensure that any fire prevention notices issued have been complied with, penalties may apply for landowners that do not comply.”

Mr Taylor said residents needed to ensure their properties were in a “fire ready” state for the duration of the fire season.

“This may include fire prevention works such as slashing grass so it is no higher than 100mm and removing all fallen and dead vegetation around assets, especially cleaning up fine fuels around the home,” he said.

Mr Taylor said the shire was relaxing open air burning restrictions on smaller properties during October to encourage residents to clean up before the commencement of the fire season.

Open air burning will be permitted during October on properties of less than 1500 square metres on Fridays and Saturdays between 9am and 4pm, with the conditions that no more than one cubic metre of vegetation is burnt at any one time, fire is not within 10 metres of any neighbouring dwelling, and fire safety provisions are followed at all times.

“It’s an opportunity to clean up around your property, but ensure you do it responsibly and safely, and keep your neighbours and local authorities informed,” he said.

Rescue services alarm raised Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au MARINE rescue services across Port Phillip Bay could be set for an overhaul as a result of a report tabled in State Parliament this month.

The Inquiry into Marine Rescue Services in Victoria report found oversight of voluntary water rescue crews is “ad hoc”, under-funded and potentially not “fit for purpose”.

A committee of cross-party MPs chaired by Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess produced the 246-page report. The report took eight months to complete.

While the report stated marine services and rescue (MSAR) is “essentially ungoverned”, volunteers’ were praised for their “dedication and commitment” despite a lack of oversight and funding.

The committee found Victoria’s volunteer marine search and rescue is not subject to legislative or regulatory oversight at state level and “has been largely ignored and left to fend for itself”.

Alarmingly, the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association noted in its submission to the inquiry that: “in the absence of accreditation, ‘anybody’ can commence operating as a marine rescue organisation anywhere in Victoria, irrespective of their capability… without being subject to minimum standards for the provision of marine rescue services”.

Victoria Police often act as the ‘control agency’ during rescues and incidents at sea but also expressed concern about the capability and

experience of volunteers entrusted to help those in distress.

Inspector Mark Arneil, manager of the Water Police and Search and Rescue Squads based at Williamstown, told the committee that police do not have “total clarity” about volunteer resources due to a lack of an accreditation process.

“One of the areas of concern for me at the moment is that, whilst my people coordinate all these agencies to go out and do the rescues, we have no real level of comfort around what their capability is, so we do not really know and we only task them on previous experience, knowing that they can do the job,” Inspector Arneil said.

“We do not have any sort of process in place to accredit them or audit them to be able to say their vessels are capable of doing whatever it is and that they have got sufficient training, sufficient equipment and knowledge to be able to do the rescues.”

Water Police maintain a register of volunteer MSAR resources, but this is updated “periodically… and in accordance with information received” from volunteer coast guard groups.

Inspector Arneil said Victoria Police could not comment whether any volunteer MSAR organisation is “fit for purpose”.

Some submissions to the inquiry noted: “Water Police do not always task the nearest available MSAR resources and that this can increase the risks for persons involved in a marine incident”.

The committee made 43

recommendations as a result of its investigations and chief amongst the proposals was the need to establish a new governing body to manage Victoria’s MSAR volunteers, similar to the management setup at the CFA and SES. An annual audit of MSAR capabilities would be conducted each year by the governing body.

Transport Safety Victoria backed the introduction of an accreditation and audit process, as did many voluntary coast guard organisations.

Submissions to the inquiry noted the Mornington and Hastings areas are both serviced by Volunteer Marine Rescue Mornington & Hastings and AVCGA flotillas.

The Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance stated: “There does not appear to be justification for the duplication of services” in Hastings and Mornington.

It was claimed that “on many occasions their resources are consumed unnecessarily with redundant call outs”.

There is a danger the committee’s report could languish in bureaucratic limbo thanks to the timing of November’s state election.

A previous state-wide review of the volunteer MSAR sector carried out by Ernst & Young 12 years ago, when the Bracks Labor government was in office, also recommended the establishment of a governing body.

The committee stated: “Surprisingly, none of the reforms have been implemented. This situation is particularly concerning in view of the fact that the model proposed in the Ernst and Young report was aimed at minimising the possibility of an injury or a death occurring during an MSAR incident.”

DETECTIVES last week recovered about $10,000 in gold and jewellery allegedly stolen from the Red Hill Greek Orthodox Church in July.

This is only a small portion of the $100,000-$200,000 in valuables plundered from a smashed glass box containing an icon of the Virgin Mary, gold rings, chains, bracelets, coins and crosses.

The valuables had been donated by worshippers to the Holy Monastery of Panagia Kamariani since 1983.

Detective Senior Constable Brendan Fox, of Rosebud Crime Investigation Unit, said inquiries to second-hand dealers had yielded the booty and that he was hopeful more would be found.

Two men were arrested following a number of warrants conducted on Friday. They were charged with burglary and theft. A 34-year-old Coldstream man and a 29-year-old Warburton man will appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Church secretary Georgie Marinis said The Reverend Father Eleftherios Tatsis was “ecstatic” that some of the valuables had been recovered.

“Most of it has probably been melted down and we are to see some photos today. I am not sure what will happen.”

She said the church’s insurance company had not put a definite value on the stolen property.

The robbery occurred when Father Tatsis was farewelling visitors at the church’s front gate. The thieves are believed to have entered a side door and broken a sealed glass box to steal the items.

Wright time for Labor response FOR member for Mornington David Morris to lose his seat at the upcoming poll, the state Coalition government would need to suffer its most catastrophic defeat in history.

Safely ensconced in the fifth safest Coalition seat in Victoria and requiring a swing of more than 20 per cent to unseat him, Mr Morris is all but certain of remaining the member for Mornington beyond the November election.

But recently appointed Labor representative for Mornington Rebecca Wright, pictured right, isn’t fazed by such obstacles.

The 38-year-old mother of three, who works as a speech pathologist at Peninsula Specialist College in Dromana, acknowledges she is facing a huge hurdle in facing off against the Liberal incumbent but said she was determined to make Mr Morris more accountable to Mornington voters.

Her mission is to “put Labor back on the map on the peninsula” and draw attention to the “major shortcomings” and “socially divisive policies” of the state and federal Coalition governments, she said.

“This seat, and the people who live and vote here, seem to have been taken for granted by the Coalition because it’s seen as being so safe, so I’m determined to put us back on the map and bring some attention to the issues affecting this area,” Ms Wright said.

“One of the first questions people have asked me after my appointment is ‘who are you up against’. That’s how silent Mr Morris has been.

“There’s a real feeling out there that the people of Mornington are being ignored and taken advantage of because this is such safe Liberal seat. They feel like they’re completely off the radar.”

Having being formally endorsed two months ago to represent the ALP in the Mornington electorate, Ms Wright said she had been busy trying to re-establish the Labor brand among voters.

“People feel betrayed by the Coalition, both at the federal and state levels, and it’s my job to show them that Labor is a viable alternative.

“A vote for me and the Labor Party is a vote for better health care, better education, more jobs, for better advocacy and services for families, women, the disabled.

“There is a lot of disquiet out there in the community against the Coaltion, which seems to be systemically dismantling the social supports and safety nets that have made this country the equitable

society is once was.” Having worked for more than decade with disadvantaged young people in the education system, Ms Wright said she was passionate about Labor policies of providing a “fair go for all”, particularly in the areas of education and health care.

She is particularly concerned about government cuts to education and welfare, especially given the tough economic conditions young people are currently facing, and is a strong supporter of ALP calls for a Royal Commission into family violence.

“The various numbers I've seen indicate that over 2012-2013, police responded to on average over 10 incidents of family violence a week on the peninsula, so that is symptomatic of too many vulnerable women, children – and in some cases men – slipping through the cracks of the systems meant to be in place to support them.

“Labor's commitment to establishing a Royal Commission is geared to getting to the bottom of systemic deficiencies.”

Campaign begins for next shire CEO MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire launched a newspaper advertisement campaign for a CEO who can “deliver inspirational and visionary leadership”.

Whoever gets the $350,000 a year job will also be expected to “drive strategic change” and have the “ability to see things from a fresh perspective”.

The current CEO Michael Kennedy believes he is “the very best person” to continue in the role he has held for the past 15 years.

One day after councillors surprisingly decided to test the market rather than reappoint him, Dr Kennedy emailed staff – “team-mates” – with the results of his annual performance review.

He said his performance had been rated “Very Good, with strong achievement in his performance criteria and exceeding expectations”, adding that the rating “accurately reflects my/our performance over 2013/14, and is consistent with council’s assessment of my performance over many years”.

The email notifying staff that he would apply to continue as CEO was followed nine days later on 21 Augusr by a news release from the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, stating that Dr Kennedy’s performance had exceeded expectations.

“All councillors have contributed to a robust and balanced assessment, and have once again rated Dr Michael Kennedy as very good, with strong achievements in his performance criteria and exceeding expectations,” Cr Celi said.

The CEO is the only member of staff directly appointed by councillors.

Applications for the shire CEO position being advertised by the Slade Group recruitment firm close 28 September.

As reported in The News on 19 August (“CEO’s

job to be advertised”) the decision to seek other candidates for the shire’s top job weas made behind closed doors at a “special” Special Purposes Committee Meeting.

It is understood that just three of the 10 councillors at the meeting voted to reappoint Dr Kennedy.

The shire media release about the councillors’ decision on the CEO was emailed at 10.21am the next day. It was followed 17 minutes later by Dr Kennedy’s “Team-mates” email to staff.

The decision to not advertise the job was made in the lead-up to a byelection to fill the then vacant Red Hill ward seat, subsequently won by Cr Tim Wood.

Dr – then Mr – Kennedy was hired as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999. He was reappointed in 2004, 2008 and 2012, with controversy surrounding the 2004 and 2008 reappointments.

Concern was also expressed about the 2012 reappointment, many in the community feeling the market should be tested to see what calibre of applicant might be attracted to the job, which pays more than most state premiers get.

The 2008 concern culminated in an Ombudsman’s inquiry in 2009, sparked by community complaints about the reappointment process, especially that of 2004.

Then Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer found the reappointment was lawful. But he criticised the shire’s handling of requests made under freedom of information law.

He recommended changes in how the shire dealt with FOI applications and urged counselling for then corporate support manager Noel Buck and for Dr Kennedy. Mr Buck was counselled; Dr Kennedy was not.

Bush-basher: John Crossin and his Ford Fairlane at a very Outback-looking Schnapper Point.

Picture: Gary Sissons

Going bush for Variety VARIETY Bash entrant John Crossin, of Harba Restaurant and Ranelagh Club fame, is back hale and hearty after completing his 13th “bash”.

Driving a 1976 Ford Fairlane, he and John Mackie, of Mornington Car and Tyre Services, joined 700 cars from six states for the start at Brimbank Park, north of Melbourne, in midAugust.

They then drove through Wangaratta, Corryong, Bowral, Sydney, Singleton, Armidale, Tenterfield and Kingaroy before finishing at Noosa Heads. The 10-day trek covered 3050km and things went off without a hitch: “The car went like a dream,” he said. “We didn’t even get a puncture.”

The pair certainly did their bit for Variety, raising $54,000 to contribute to Victoria’s $1.2 million and Australia’s $8.7 million. The money raised goes towards children in need.

“John and I have done 13 of these together,” he said. “It’s a great feeling to get together with

all the other drivers from around Australia.”

A highlight was joining other competitors – about 2000 people - at Sydney’s Horden Pavilion for a welcome by Governor-General Peter Cosgrove. They also enjoyed the “shindig” afterwards.

“The next day we left for Singleton and it rained all the way to Bowral … and kept raining all the way to Noosa,” he said.

But that hasn’t dampened Mr Crossin’s enthusiasm: he’s keen to race again next year, even though the route may be a bit more challenging: to Port Douglas via Cooktown.

He thanked Mornington Car and Tyre Services, Grand Hotel, Moorooduc Timber, Mornington Garden Supplies, and many other smaller donors who helped make the trip worthwhile.

The Variety Bash was started 30 years ago by entrepreneur Dick Smith and has raised more than $200 million.

Kestral takes wild wind, waves in her stride Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ROUGH weather last week made Port Phillip the perfect testing ground for one of Mornington’s hi-tech exports.

Thirty knot winds and two metre seas tested the seagoing capabilities of Kestral – the latest pilot boat to come out of Hart Marine in Yuilles Rd. At 15.6 metres the craft reportedly took the deteriorating conditions in her stride, making an easy 27.5 knots through The Rip and confirming her maker’s claims of being one of the best pilot boats in the world.

The French design bound for Port Kembla is the seventh pilot boat built

by Hart Marine since 2010.

Powered by twin 700 horse power Caterpillar diesels she will undergo two weeks of trials before steaming to her new home at the NSW industrial port near Wollongong.

Kestral’s testing ran her through a series of checks to ensure she achieved her rated speed and power capabilities, had no cavitation or gearbox issues, and that cabin noise and engine temperatures were within specified limits.

Her low-drag composite hull is self-righting and the wave-piercing bow cuts through waves rather than riding up and over them, reducing its vertical acceleration. Noise levels in the cabin are low at 74 decibels.

“The design is well recognised as making the best pilot boat,” managing director and company founder Mal Hart said. “It’s a favourite of buyers around the world.”

The company has supplied similar boats to the Port Phillip sea pilots,

Hart Marine has carved out an enviable reputation for itself since its inception in 1983. Its racing yachts include super maxis – such as Wild Thing for Sydney-Hobart stalwart and Mornington yachting identity Grant Wharington.

“We’ve built 150 boats of all sorts

over the past 28-30 years and they’ve probably taken us two and a half million man hours to complete,” Mr Hart said. “Since the early days we’ve transitioned ourselves more towards commercial boats.”

Mr Hart said the company had leveraged early success from the sale of two boats to Port Phillip pilot services. They now receive inquiries from all around the world – and especially port services around Australia.

Mr Hart grew up around boats at Hastings and is the sixth generation

Uniting world with ultimate travel offer BEING paid to travel sounds like a deal too good be true, especially when the destination on offer is as alluring as exotic Indochina.

But that’s exactly what the Uniting Church is offering Frankston and Mornington Peninsula social, sporting or community groups. Grants of up to $10,000 available, with the only catch being that the trip must promote the ethos of “responsible travel�

Uniting Journeys, a community initiative of the Uniting Church, is offering the cash grants to help generate responsible travel ideas involving trips to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

The grants aim to encourage groups to explore overseas travel that involves cultural exchange, environmental and economic sustainability, and cultural and learning exchanges.

Uniting Journeys “conversation partner� Helen Beeby of Mt Eliza travelled to Cambodia under the scheme in April and is now offering her expertise to help other groups come up with their own responsible travel ideas.

She said the applicants could be any sort of group – photographers, war veterans, builders, circus performers, sporting teams – with the only requirement being that the trip needs to involve connecting with “relevant local people or a project within the country they visit�. “Of course, there’s also plenty of

New deal on SPA THE Nepean Ratepayers Association says it will “deal directly with shire councillors� in connection with the planned Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) after a senior shire official said he was “too busy� to respond to their letters.

NRA president Colin Watson said he and infrastructure expert Stuart Allen had met shire sustainable organisation director Bruce Rendall with concerns about the SPA’s finances, “claims of net community benefit and lack of shire-wide consultation�.

In a letter dated 3 September sent to all councillors, Mr Watson said that “due to the outcome of our meeting with Mr Rendall, we will now forward our concerns with the process in relation to SPA directly to councillors�.

Mr Rendall declined to comment when approached by The News through the shire’s public relations department.

Books for all Responsible traveller: Helen Beeby of Mt Eliza travelled to Cambodia with Uniting Journeys and she is now offering her expertise to help other groups come up with their own responsible travel ideas.

time for general sight-seeing and tasting local pleasures,� Ms Beeby said. “Responsible travel is all about being mindful of what you do, who you meet, where you visit, where you eat or stay and how you spend your money on an inter-cultural trip. “There are simple things we can do, like making sure the money we spend stays in the local community and ensuring, as best as we can, that the staff in the places we stay or visit are paid properly and treated with respect.�

Uniting Journeys aims to help people understand the principles of

ethical travel, she said. “Whether people are part of a faith group is not important to us, but we really value their willingness to explore new ideas around responsible travel, and to share them with others. “The grants particularly encourage inter-generational groups, including people 55 and over, and support mixed-aged groups and interfaith and intercultural groups taking part. “All responsible travel ideas are welcome and could include veteran groups, community groups, individuals and families with responsible

travel ideas that benefit both the travellers and the destination communities in Indochina.�

Anyone aged 18 and over can apply, with groups of six to eight people the ideal. However, other group sizes will be considered. The minimum duration of a tour is six nights.

A responsible travel “mentor� is allocated to each of the selected ideas expression of interest to support the development of the tour.

Call to arms for green army hopefuls

Council review due

THE federal government has issued a call to arms to environmentally conscious young people on the peninsula to sign up to national Green Army corps, which is scheduled to begin this month.

The Green Army is recruiting “enthusiastic 17-24 year olds” on the Mornington Peninsula to join what will become the largest-ever team of young Australians supporting environmental action across the country.

The first round of Green Army projects are set to get underway in October and young people who want to gain valuable skills, training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation fields are encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible.

Recruitment for the Mornington Peninsula Green Army Project will be carried out by employment service provider Conservation Volunteers Australia.

Green Army participants will undertake accredited training such as work readiness, conservation and land management, heritage conservation, project and human resource management and heritage trade skills, and will be supported to obtain certificate I or II qualifications to help them prepare for the workforce or improve their career opportunities.

Young Australians interested in joining the Green Army can apply through the appointed Service Providers for each state and territory. Contact details for Service Providers are available from www.environment.gov.au/green-army Under the Green Army scheme, the Coalition government plans to build a national environmental conservation workforce of around 15,000 people to work with councils, bush care groups and local catchment authorities to clean up the environment.

Teams of ten young environmental trainees will work on local community-based environmental projects over a six-month period, earning a training wage for their contribution, while also studying for a qualification in conservation and land management.

Our factional Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors appear to have taken advantage of the absence of Cr David Gibb and voted to stop the Rosebud SPA (Southern Peninsula Aquatic centre), 5:4 against.

Cr Graham Pittock has been convicted over a conflict of interest when previously voting against the SPA and was not allowed to vote. It was determined [by a court] that his business would benefit with no SPA. Over the past 10 years I have been questioning the competence and integrity of this council and have been frustrated by factional decisions.

I believe that the council is in urgent need of review. Something I believe is unlikely to happen under the current CEO or while we have a state Liberal government.

Terry O’Shea, Halls Head, Western Australia

Appalling behaviour I witnessed the most appalling behaviour at the Mornington Peninsula Council meeting on Monday 8 September. We saw Cr Hugh Fraser being verbally abused by Cr David Garnock and Cr Andrew Dixon. The two councillors in question hurled a tirade of abuse at Cr Fraser because he had the temerity to put forward a motion that was going to prevent the SPA from being situated on the Rosebud foreshore once and for all.

The gallery had to point out the abuse before the mayor [Cr Antonella Cheli] decided to "chide" both those councillors.

We had a mayor constantly eating while presiding over the meeting which, in my mind, was showing contempt of procedure, to her fellow councillors and the gallery.

Common sense prevailed this night, the pool will still go ahead when there is money and definite plans, not on Crown land on the foreshore but a suitable site inland where it should be.

We had words like underhanded, devious and undemocratic thrown at Cr Fraser, which was rather strange, as I recall one of the abusers

reneged on his commitment of protecting the foreshore from a pool once he took office.

Anyone who spoke for the motion was derided in some way. In short, we saw the true colours of the pro-pool group. We had it all this night, even crocodile tears shed on behalf of the residents of Rosebud.

Apparently we are going to be the poorer for the pool being built on other than the foreshore.

It seemed the only democracy acceptable was the democracy of the pro-pool faction.

It was a vengeful meeting of the worst kind.

John Cain, McCrae

Conduct becoming Elected representatives rely on their public perceptions to get elected, so I was astonished to read of Cr Graham Pittock’s guilty finding on a conflict of interest charge (‘Pittock guilty of conflict over gym’, The News 2/9/14).

Graham Pittock is as honest as the day is long and an absolute pillar of society, it is not in his DNA to put his own interests ahead of others.

I met him at a meeting of Dromana State School’s 150th celebrations committee when he was mayor of the shire. No one introduced us, so he introduced himself. He had taken interest in a portfolio I had containing photos of paintings by United States illustrator, Melbourne Brindle, of the old paddleboats plying Port Phillip.

Like me he was fascinated by the images and when I told him the paintings themselves were in a storeroom in Boston, Massachusetts, he was astonished.

Thanks to Graham Pittock the paintings of the Ozone, The Weeroona and Brindle’s ‘Diggers Hat on Landing’ are now in Dromana, where they belong.

With approval from his council, the Weeroona painting was purchased for the regional gallery from his ward allowance. It now hangs at Dromana State School where Brindle received his entire education. He bought the Ozone painting privately, which now has pride of place in his home.

Through his family, the Diggers Hat paint-

ing was purchased and now hangs at the local RSL. Graham insisted I attend the Anzac Day breakfast in 2012 to talk about the painting at its handover where I was seated at the VIP table. Whenever I bump into him in public he introduces me as “the man who discovered Melbourne Brindle”.

While the acquisitions of the paintings was happening, he was proudly building his squash courts oblivious, like all of us, that this venture would one day land him in trouble.

On his last day as mayor with the building only half complete, he insisted my wife and I attend the official opening by “mayoress” Prue Pittock and his mum who cut the ribbon.

Like many people, Cr Pittock thinks the Rosebud foreshore is not the most suitable location for a swimming pool. If there is any hidden agenda in that concept, anything sinister, then there is a side to this bloke that has eluded me completely.

Fred Wild, Rye

Time for change Growing Our Community has been arguing for the past five years that the culture within the Mornington Peninsula Council is unhealthy.

There appears to be two obvious factions in the council chamber. Council decisions appear not to be made from a right or wrong perspective but, instead, voting reflects a faction’s position.

In the recent past we have made formal complaints against three councillors. Two went to the token internal investigation procedure and, not surprisingly, were brushed aside. The third was not even responded to.

We are heartened that the inspectorate is now treating complaints against councillors seriously and we intend to follow up.

We believe that the CEO no longer has the majority of council to support him and we hope that he is replaced.

We seriously suggest any replacement CEO order a serious review of the planning department.

League moves to keep youngsters in the game Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RAISING the top age division in junior football leagues to under-17 and moving the senior thirds from under-18s to under-19s are two major recommendations of a review into how best to keep younger players in the game.

The review – involving junior and senior leagues - was announced in April by AFL South East to stop the decrease in the number of junior players progressing to the seniors.

Recommendations adopted last week apply to the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League, Frankston District Junior Football League, Nepean Football Netball League and Peninsula Football Netball League.

Other recommendations include a joint under-16 and under-17 graded competition between the MPJFL and the FDJFL; a simplified permit system to make it easier for players to move between junior and senior leagues in a season; developing stronger junior and senior club and league relationships; simplifying age cut-offs and providing clarity around the provision of over-age permits.

Clubs on the peninsula and in Frankston have voiced concerns about their inability to retain players aged 16-20.

“The structural changes recommended are aimed at providing a diverse range of offerings for the participant, while maintaining strong and dynamic player pathways,” the review found.

“However, the recommendations and the expected outcomes by no means solve the issue of player retention, progression and relative club strength on their own.

“Structural variations are only one piece in an extensive puzzle that requires constant attention, input and review by all stakeholders.”

AFL South East Region general manager Jeremy Bourke said it had been “terrific” to have five governing bodies working together on the review.

“However, there is no doubt there will be differing opinions regarding the recommendations within the football community,” he said.

“Some will say that they have not gone far or deep enough and others will say that they are not in the best interests of their particular club or league.”

Mr Bourke said AFL South East “firmly believed” that the decisions made [in the review] were in the best interests of football in the region.

“Too often, decisions in football have been made in the best interests of one party at the expense of another and without consultation or due diligence,” he said.

“Throughout the process, the working party has ensured all parties were consulted and had the opportunity to contribute.”

Both the Casey Cardinia Football Netball League and the South East Juniors have started under-17 competitions, but plans for two new competitions – under-17 in FDJ FL and Colts in the MPJFNL – have been vetoed by AFL Victoria Country and the PCN Sports Alliance.

Mr Bourke said in April that he hoped the Frankston under-17 and Colts competitions could begin next year.

Recommendations regarding the South East Juniors and Casey Cardinia FNL competitions will be released next week at the end of the response period.

The review and its recommendations are on the AFL South East website: aflsoutheast.com.au

Both bays offer options

Up close: Native orchids now popping up in reserves and gardens, include, from left, the slaty helmet (Corybas inzurvus), hyacinth (Dipodium roseum) and donkey (Diris drummondi).

Orchids spring into view NATIVE orchids are blooming in reserves and gardens throughout Frankston and the Mornington peninsula, including, Greens Bush at main Ridge, Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve and along the trail from Arthurs Seat to Bushrangers Bay. Described as being “subtle but spectacular”, some orchids are small and not brightly coloured and are often missed, even when growing on the edges of walking tracks.

This also means walkers should stay on paths to avoid trampling the fragile plants.

Places to look for orchids: Baldry’s Circuit track in Greens Bush, Mornington Peninsula National Park.

Two Bays Walking track through Arthurs Seat State Park and Greens Bush.

Bushrangers Bay track from the Cape Schanck car park.

Various walking tracks through Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve.

These areas have the largest patches of remnant bushland on the peninsula.

One orchid that is not so attractive is the South African Orchid or Disa bracteata which

is found in a few isolated places on the peninsula, including Greens Bush. After its accidental introduction to Western Australia in the 1940s it has spread east, invading new areas by producing large number of seeds.

Unlike the dainty native species, the stout fleshy spike of this orchid grows to 35cm with up to 50 tiny brown flowers.

It is regarded as a threat to the biodiversity of parks and any sightings should be reported to the local parks office. Removal is not advised as it can trigger multiple reshooting and encourages spreading.

Many orchids are highly specialised and need certain conditions and soils and relationships with other plants and insects.

Some trick particular species of native bees or wasps into trying to mate with their flower which looks like an insect, by releasing chemicals to attract them.

Orchids are an important part of park ecosystems and should not be picked.

For more information on orchids contact the local branch of the Australasian Native Orchid Society at www.anosvic.org.au

THE fishing continues to get better by the week as the weather heats up. While snapper talk is starting to flood the airwaves, anglers shouldn't forget about the other fishing options.

The top end and southern end of Western Port continues with its run of good squid fishing.

Snapper are now starting to show in both the north and south. While the snapper are only isolated fish at the moment larger schools will show in the next few weeks.

Also getting caught at the moment are pike, whiting, barracouta, flathead and gummy sharks and small school sharks.

If you put the time in on the water you'll be rewarded. There's a lot of bait in the water and all indications are leaning into a good fishing season.

Port Phillip is also starting to change into snapper season, however it's early days.

Squid have been solid throughout the eastern side of the bay. In the south the squid on average have been larger and jigs in the 3.0-3.5 range have been best, while further north squid have been more plentiful but smaller, in these areas a 2.0-2.5 jig has been doing the damage.

Port Phillip is also full of bait and snapper are about and although no huge schools have shown yet, this will change in the next two weeks.

Large schools of salmon have been showing regularly from Mt Martha to Mt Eliza. Keep an eye in the sky and watch the birds as they'll lead you to the salmon.

Other species being caught in Port Phillip include gummy shark and seven hill shark in the channels and flathead and gurnard on the sand.

From the piers, squid have been a solid option from all platforms. Other species include grass whiting from Flinders and garfish from Mornington.

If you’re looking at hitting the surf beaches some solid salmon are getting caught during the day and in the evening gummy sharks are getting landed. For the best chance of beaching a gummy try using chunks of fresh salmon (Australian) as bait.

Bay catch: Jonny Wright with a barracouta caught while chasing an early season snapper from Yaringa Harbour.

From our rivers and creeks some lovely bream are getting caught, pippies, mussels and shrimp are best.

Those venturing out on their kayaks are having a ball on the shallow reefs with squid, salmon and pinkie snapper.

Put simply, get on the water and get on the fish.

French riviera style YAMMINGA is one of those rare treats that takes an “If only” and turns it into an “I want”.

No expense has been spared here in creating this stunning riviera inspired property that offers a lifestyle of absolute comfort and ease within walking distance to Daveys Bay. The enchanting French-influenced gardens afford a sparkling bay view and creature comforts that adorn the 1609-square metre block include an in-ground, solar heated pool with spa as the centrepiece to a beautiful stone-flanked paved palazzo. Red wrought iron gates guard the front of the property and once through, a gently curved driveway leads past manicured hedges and tall conifers to a double garage under the roof line. The garage has loft storage and a handy addition is the lift that takes you up to the kitchen level.

The home is situated lengthwise along the block and as such has an effortless flow from room to room. From the kitchen, which is appointed with every convenience the budding master chef would require with an abundance of storage, a large island bench, a massive recessed space for a double door refrigerator, two wall-ovens and a walk-in pantry, a pleasant casual meals area has a wonderful view of the pool, as does a cosy sitting area.

The grand formal lounge and dining areas beckon with their rich polished timber floors and from here you can access one of three viewing decks. The south-east wing includes one bedroom – which opens out to a second deck, another quiet sitting area, private study and a powder room with shower, making this zone quite suitable for guest quarters. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share another bathroom and the larger main bedroom has a wall of built-in robes, and a walk-in robe leads through to an ensuite.

Vacant 2.5 Acres (approx) with bay views!

Drop Anchor in Yacht Court

A rare commodity indeed is this vacant block offering buyers the opportunity to create their dream property. With captivating Easterly views across Western Port Bay that are unlikely to be built out, and an equally attractive exposure to the North, this land is situated near the end of a sealed, no-through road. New perimeter fencing is in place and services including water, power and phone are ready for connection. It is important to note this land is zoned Low Density Residential and accordingly avoids many of the planning and building issues that accompany Green Wedge zoned land.

This is truly a rare find, just over 1100m2 of prime beachside real estate, situated at the end of a quiet court, overlooking a leafy lane-way and only 200 metres to the sandy shores of Fishermans Beach. There are endless possibilities with this fantastic site, with the potential of bay views from a second storey... build a magnificent family home; build 2/3 townhouse development (STCA); or renovate the existing dwelling that is in need of some major TLC. This is currently divided into a triple duplex. Only a short stroll to Vibrant Main Street, this is certainly a property not to be missed!

Ducks take a fall for the garden DUCKLINGS are falling out of trees, but that is not their biggest problem.

Young wood ducks are usually hatched high up in a tree hollow and leave the nest in the only way they know how. By jumping.

The real perils wait on the ground, particularly from cats, foxes and motorists when families of ducks attempt to cross busy roads.

“During early spring and particularly after a lot of rain, mother wood duck starts setting up her home in a tree hollow high above the ground where she will lay around 10 eggs,” Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife CEO Susanna Bradshaw said.

Ms Bradshaw said male wood ducks “will stand guard at the base of the nesting tree” while the female incubated the eggs.

“When the ducklings are ready to leave the nest, the only way out is by jumping and plummeting several metres to the ground,” she said.

“But don’t worry if you see fluffy little chicks falling from the sky as this is very normal for wood duck babies and they will just bounce and waddle off as if nothing happened.”

Ms Bradshaw said wood ducks avoided swimming but stayed close to water to eat plants that grow in moist environments.

They would swim away from danger if needed.

“Wood ducks are predominately herbivores, feeding on small grasses and herbs but they will also eat the odd insect—which makes them good buddies to have around your backyard,” she said.

“They aren’t always as well liked as

some of our other Aussie animal visitors as they sometimes get in trouble for pooing in backyards, particularly around swimming pools and nibbling on lawns.”

Ms Bradshaw said wood ducks helped by eating weeds and insects “while fertilising your garden at the same time”.

“Remember that wood ducks like to move around a lot and their disruptions are usually just seasonal, so they won’t be in your garden permanently.”

Spring action: Wood ducks are hatching out and braving the roads to find a place to graze.

Rail milestone A CELEBRATION at the Moorooduc station on Sunday 5 October will mark the 30th anniversary of the formation of the Mornington Railway Preservation Society and the 125th anniversary of the opening of the Mornington train line.

A range of activities are planned from 10am, with a welcome speech by the president of the Mornington Railway Preservation Society and the cutting of a birthday cake.

The first train is due to depart at about 11am - the first of four scheduled trains for the day - and an extra train will run during lunch time to join up with a scheduled train at Mornington for the return journey.

This train will haul passenger and freight vehicles.

There will be tours of the Moorooduc station and a look-see at historical items there, such as the signal box from Somerton and the footbridge from Fitzroy. Visitors will be able to visit the various departments, such as carriage maintenance, engineering, and the works departments to talk to the members about the challenges they face and jobs they do.

The Country Women’s Association will have a stall on the platform and produce to buy. The SES will have a display in the car park.

Everyone is welcome to come along and join in the festivities.

The line was opened in 1889 with two stations: Mornington at the end of the line and an intermediate station at Moorooduc. Between 1930 and 1940, Racecourse Platform on Bungower Rd was opened for race goers and horse transport.

It was also used by the army during the war when soldiers were stationed at the racecourse.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Battle of weeds and thistles declared Compiled by Melissa Hodge SID O’Neil and Cyril Richardson, two well known campers at Frankston have been accepted as members of the Expeditionary Forces, and they may be relied upon to give a good account of themselves when at the front. *** THE Kooyong Club Patriotic concert takes place this (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, when the programme put on the stage will be one of the best. This, in addition to the object for which the concert is being given, should ensure a bumper house. *** A REMARKABLE storm passed over the Dookie district on Tuesday after noon, followed by a phenomenal fall of rain. At Yabba North and Youan it was heavy, over 50 points being registered in minutes. Roadways and paddocks were covered with water.

The fall was most opportune. *** A VISITOR to the Expeditionary Camp on Sunday was informed

by Privates Harry Corington and Bert Roberts that the pipes the boys gave them were “just the thing” and smoked “fine”. Also that the wristlet watches were a great convenience and pleasure, causing some little envy amongst their comrades who were without the useful article. *** THE Defense department announces that Dr’s Maxwell (Frankston), Somers (Mornington), and J. de B. Griffith (Somerville) have offered to give free medical attention to the wives

and children of soldiers from their districts who are accepted for active service. The medical men have been cordially thanked by the Minister. *** Battle of weeds and thistles SATURDAY, September 12th, was proclaimed ‘The Day.’ The weeds and thistles had taken up their residence at the Frankston cemetery, a number of visitors and neighbours noticing their inroads, reported to the authorities that it was time something was done to improve the existing state of affairs.

The Frankston Progress Association and the Cemetery Trust declared war.

The enemy had become firmly entrenched in their occupation of the best positions in the cemetery, and thinking those interested were unprepared, they increased rapidly.

The Progress Association called for volunteers and recruits and a splendid muster assembled, well armed with modern implements of warfare and some very old fashioned but useful tools.

The officer commanding gave orders to approach the enemy in open order, the attack to commence on Saturday afternoon.

Despatches were in charge of Captain C. Gray, of the Head Quarters Frankston Staff, who went in advance of the main column.

The advance party was composed of the Langwarrin division, led by Captain W. Oates, and by the time the main army of workers arrived great inroads had been made in the ranks of the weeds and thistles by

parties including Lieuts. H. Oates, S. Lawrey, Corlett, P. Murray, O. Wells and Matson. Captain T. Bailey, an old campaigner of many wars of this kind.

Many vehicles had been commandeered for transport and within a few minutes of the commencement of operations the battlefield was a scene of great activity among the Allies.

The Medical Corps consisting of Dr Maxwell (President of the Progress Association) and Dr S. Plowman did good work.

The efforts of the water carrier and E.K. Punch for restoratives were very helpful to the thirsty combatants.

(By our Special War Correspondent.) *** FRANKSTON railway station was the scene of unusual activity on Friday morning, the occasion being the departure of another batch of volunteers from this district who are anxious to join the second Expeditionary Force.

The President of the Shire (Cr Oates) has been busily engaged during the last week in enrolling names, with the result that 24 volunteers answered to their names this morning at the railway station, en route for the depot in Melbourne, where they will pass under examination as to their fitness or otherwise to be passed on to the Camp at Broadmeadows, for further preliminary drill prior to their departure to the war. *** HASTINGS Annual I.O.R. Ball.

The annual ball in connection with

the I.O.R. tent at Hastings was held on 4th September, when the attendance fell somewhat short of that on previous occassions, owing doubtless to other attractions being held in Somerville in the shape of the local footballer’s social which unfortunately was advertised for the same evening.

Nevertheless a most enjoyable time was spent by those who attended, the arrangements being in every way complete and reflected great credit on Mr B. Harrison, the secretary of the movement.

A long programme of 24 dances, with several extras was gone through to the excellent music supplied by the Westernport orchestra.

The following are some of the dresses worn on the occasion : -Mrs T. Roberts, black lace over amber satin. Miss A. Campbell, shell, pink chartreuse satin, polonaise tunic of pink ninon, and recked ribbon. Mrs B. Sposito, black silk, lace bodice, with sequin trimmings. *** THE annual meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association was held at Hastings on Wednesday evening last.

Delegates were present from Tyabb, Somerville and Naval. Mr H. T. Noble (president) occupied the chair.

The balance sheet showed a credit balance of £4 15s 6d. It was decided to continue the association for the coming season, and Mr Noble and Mr Hollier were elected chairman and secretary respectively.

The date of next meeting was fixed for September 30th when the election

of officers etc. will take place. *** IN the place of their usual social St. Paul’s Club, Frankston, staged a three act comedy, ‘Who’s Who?’ on Saturday last at the Mechanics’.

To judge from the roars of laughter which punctuated each of the many jokes and comical situations the players achieved the success they desired.

The plot centres round the disguise assumed by a young man (Tom) in order to gain the consent of his father (General Stanhope) to his marriage with his father’s ward (Daisy).

Tom copies his disguise from a photograph that he had picked up, with the result that he is exactly like each of twin brothers, Dick and Harry, who shortly after arrive on the scene.

Daisy, Dick’s wife (Mrs Winters) and Harry’s fiance (Molly) all make some bad mistakes. But the most bewildered of all is the general himself.

The third act is placed in the office of a lunatic asylum, of which Dr Wagner is superintendent. There the attendants make fearful mistakes, arresting Tom, Dick and Harry in turn.

The staging of this comedy is the most ambitious effort that this club has yet made. They showed ability in the acting, which had evidently been very carefully rehearsed. The club was fortunate enough to have the help in some of the rehearsals of Mr J. O’Sullivan, who a is well-known in Frankston, and on the night he and Mr Edwards did the makeup.

Confessions of a teenage contortionist

By Stuart McCullough IT snuck up on me. As far as I was concerned, I had remained much the same age for the past 20 years. But somewhere along the line, things have changed.

I suppose there were signs – creaking joints, eyebrows that can only a whipper snipper can control and a face with more creases than unironed laundry; all of them clues to my advancing years. But I ignored them all. Only when the truth was staring at me in the face and holding a mirror did it truly dawn on me – I am getting on.

We were attending a live music show. I call these events “gigs” but am unsure whether this terminology still resonates with the younger generation.

Or, for that matter, if most of them are aware “live music” exists. For all I know, the mere use of the word gig immediately identifies me as someone from a distant age, in which terms like gig were used along with groovy, wireless and horseless carriage.

As I stood in the venue, I ran into an old friend. By that, I mean he called out my name and I turned around, rather than some kind of low-speed incident in the car park requiring the exchange of insurance details. We chatted, as old friends do, and watched while the support band did its best to win over an audience that was, at best, distracted or, worse, yet to arrive.

The band was playing earnest indie folk rock and it was the kind of music my friend and I could relate to as, once upon a time, we had played some earnest indie folk rock of our own.

It brought back memories – not all of them good. As I recall, when writing an indie folk rock song, your job is to summon as much raw emotion and pain as possible. In retrospect, the pain was mostly that of the listener, as I wailed my heartfelt ditties like a spanked cat. If I was to summarise my song writing efforts of the era, I’d probably go with “attempted profundity”.

In 20 years, not much has changed

in the indie folk rock scene. Much like professional wrestlers, today’s songwriters are still very much attempting to “bring the pain”. But as excruciating as it was, it was made even more awkward by the efforts of the band to be noticed. Rather than by means of fascinating song-craft and undeniable melodies, the band members engaged in shameless “rock shaping”.

Rock shapes are the movements you make with your body while weighed

down or otherwise inhibited by your instrument. It’s not dancing, as such, but it does represent an attempt to display the rhythm of the song by way of body movement. The prime culprit in the band we were watching was the bass player. Perhaps he was a retired jazz ballet student or a former mime artist. Whatever the case, he did everything short of strap fireworks to his ears to stand out. Contorting his body, it was as if he had earlier swallowed a key and was now trying to work the object through his system. It would not have surprised me if, at the end of the set, he had produced a metal object, held it aloft and waited expectantly for the crowd to applaud his efforts.

George Harrison may well have had an album called All Things Must Pass, but the bass player had taken this far too literally.

My friend and I shook our heads as this young musician made a complete tool – probably a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner – of himself. But in the midst of our merriment, it struck me. In fact, much like a chrome vanadium steel 16-inch spanner, the realisation came on me with great force.

Here was I, with my friend, talking about how different things were in our day. The words “in our day” rang in my ears like a blast of feedback from a stage monitor. I could ignore the state of my eyebrows, the hair in my ears, the pain in my joints and the fact that school children have started offering me their seats on public transport – it was a single conversation of the “back in our day” variety that finally caused

the penny to drop. The fact of it being a penny rather than decimal currency only made things worse.

My misery was compounded by the fact that I knew, deep down, that I had once been just like that bass player. I, too, had once writhed around in front of a paying audience as though I was locked in mortal battle with my digestive system. My humiliation was compounded by the fact that I wasn’t a bass player but, rather, stuck behind the keyboards. There is, I feel, nothing in this world quite as sad as a keyboard player who craves attention.

Certain instruments lend themselves to throwing rock shapes. Guitarists have it easy. Singers can get away with murder. Bass players run the risk of having people accuse them of wanting to be a guitarist. Keyboard players, however, must suffer the indignity of being accused of being a keyboard player. It is a charge from which there is no escape. For all my efforts, audiences remained immune to my charms and I quietly retired.

It’s time to accept that I’m getting on. Rather than make fun of young men who appear to be in the grip of a savage tape-worm attack, given my age the responsible thing to do is to walk up, put an understanding hand on the shoulder and say “No”. I only wish that someone had done that much for me. Getting older is not so bad, even if my best rock shapes are now behind me. It can only be a good thing. www.stuartmccullough.com

Magpies storm home to crush Demons NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB Point staged one of the great finals comebacks against Rye in the Nepean League Preliminary Final on Saturday to advance to the 2014 Grand Final.

Down by 29 points at three quarter time, Crib Point booted seven goals to two in a blistering final term to get-up by the smallest of margins, 15.15 (105) to 15.14 (104).

Rye dominated the majority of the match up until three quarter time, but had no answers to the fast finishing Magpies in the final term.

Knowing he needed to roll the dice in the final quarter, Crib Point coach Duane Annable pulled off a couple of moves that really did win the match.

His big four goal kicking weapons are Glenn Boyd (three goals), Luke Herrington, Jon Flack (five goals) and Brad Davidson (three goals). Rarely do all of them play in the forward line at the one time.

However, in the last quarter, Annable loaded up his team’s front half and the result was an avalanche of goals. All four of them contributed on the scoreboard in the final quarter.

In fact, Davidson, as he so often does, snapped a goal from the boundary with 90 seconds left on the clock to put the Pies in front for the first time since early in the first quarter.

Whilst Annable loaded his forward line, it was important that he got the footy down to them in the first place.

To achieve this, he put Waide Symes and Dean Warry in the middle with Brad Arnold and Sam Austin.

The domination of the clearances Crib Point’s way in the final quarter was staggering and it put Rye’s defence under enormous pressure.

The comeback was even more impressive given the fact that star ruckman James Cook went down early in the first quarter with a knee injury. He came back onto the field and looked only 70 per cent but he gave his all for the team in the short spells that he spent in there.

Young key defender Zac Dekluever was forced to do the majority of the ruckwork for the Magpies when Cook went down. He did a sensational job competing against Rye skipper Rhett Sutton in the centre bounces and was more than competitive around the ground.

To be truthful, the Magpies were lucky to be within five goals at three quarter time.

Make no mistake, other than kicking the first two goals of the game, the Magpies were smashed from that point on until the final change.

But what Crib Point was able to do was kick goals against the tide and just stay in the contest.

This was largely due to the efforts of Flack, who was clearly the best player on the ground.

Sam Austin’s work through the middle of the ground was also superb, as was Symes’, while Dean Kairies provided enormous run and drive from

half back. He was able to run and carry the footy, a lot like Warry, which always kept the Rye defence under pressure.

Up until three quarter time, Ryan and Luke Semmel (three goals) were dominating through the middle and around the ground for the Demons, while Ben Holmes (five goals) was looking ominous in attack. Andrew Dean was also on song up forward, finishing with three goals and Sutton and Ben Cain were combining well around the ground. In defence, Leigh Morse was in total control and putting his body on the line on countless occasions.

However, the Demons had no answers in the final quarter. In fact, they ran out of steam.

Rye players began to cramp, especially Ryan Semmel, who ran himself into the ground, while others appeared to be running on the spot.

The Demons didn’t do themselves any favours either.

Despite the constant surges forward from the Magpies, at no stage did Rye get numbers behind the footy to try and clog things up.

The Demons also tried to go toe to toe with the Pies, rather than slowing things down, playing tempo footy and keeping the pill out of the hands of the rampaging opposition.

Rye forward Brady Egan had a chance to win the game with just seconds left on the clock in the final term but kicking against the breeze, he couldn’t quite get the journey, nor the accuracy, from 50 metres out. Andrew

Dean also missed one from 20 metres which could have snuffed out the Pies.

Crib Point has made a reputation for itself this season that no matter what position it is in, it will keep playing the game out to the final siren. The only game when the Pies put the cue in the rack this season was against Red Hill at Red Hill, when they rested players after half time.

The success of any team comes from the fact that they get a contribution from everyone.

While the stars shone when they need to, it was the likes of Zac Condick, Jake Bromley and Beau Monty who really stepped up to the plate when they needed to for the Magpies.

Crib Point coach Duane Annable couldn’t have been happier with his team’s ability to keep fighting, keep themselves in the contest and then storm home the way they did.

However, he found it hard to believe his club was in a Grand Final.

“It’s all a bit surreal to be honest,” Annable said on Sunday morning before recovery.

“It was a big effort from the boys and I’m just so happy for everyone involved in the Crib Point Football Club.

“A lot of people have put in a lot of hard work and it’s just reward for them that we were able to get here.

“From a playing and coaching point of view though, the job is far from done.

“We certainly celebrated the win on the final siren and sang the song pretty hard in the rooms but the minute we

finished the song, it was back down to business again.

“The team went straight to the beach after the match and there was no celebrating on Saturday night.

It was then to recovery at the beach again on Sunday morning.”

Annable said his message was pretty simply at three quarter time.

“I just reminded the players of our fitness and our ability to come back when we are behind. We did it against Somerville through the year when we were a long way behind,” Annable said.

“I knew Rye would blow up at some point. They had a very tough road to get as far as they did and they had one less day to prepare than us. As it turned out, they were pretty flat in the last quarter.

“I also knew that we needed to go all out attack. It wasn’t going to take five or 10 minutes to turn around. We needed to press for the entire quarter to get the result.

“Loading the forward line and getting some clearances out of the middle was the key. We made the moves on the bench, however it was up to the individuals to deliver – and they did.”

Annable said he was more than ‘hopeful’ that James Cook would lineup in the Grand Final against Sorrento this Saturday.

“We are confident that there is no structural damage to James’ knee.

We’ll just assess him through the week but I would expect him to be available.

League’s handling of finals slammed

By Toe Punt DROMANA coach Doug Koop has criticised league decision makers for their handling of the final series.

Koop, an experienced and heralded coach at Frankston YCW in Peninsula League, Cranbourne in Casey Cardinia and now Dromana in Nepean League, wrote a scathing letter to league operations general manager Ian Benson following his side’s loss to Rye in the Qualifying Final.

Whilst Koop understandably didn’t want his letter to be made public knowledge in its entirety, he was happy to share his views on the “absolutely disgraceful’ decision to hold a final against Rye at their home ground.

Whilst at Cranbourne, Koop’s team was forced to play Berwick at Berwick in a second semi final two seasons ago and Beaconsfield at Beaconsfield last season in a Preliminary Final.

Koop believes that the decision to hold finals against a team at their home grounds gave an unfair advantage to that team.

No-one disagrees with Koop on this matter.

“It surely can’t be that difficult to understand that clubs who qualify for finals want two things from the league, to play on the best grounds and have no home ground advantages for any finalists,” Koop wrote.

“The stubbornness and lack of

communication is downright disrespectful to clubs that have worked very hard during the season and won the right to play off in finals.

“The standard and quality of our local game has developed so rapidly in the last few years, yet we are expected to play on substandard surfaces that put our players at risk.

“The best games (finals) need to be played on the best grounds,” Koop said.

Rye Football Club coach, Ben Holmes, skipper Rhett Sutton and club legend Scott Beel forced the league’s hand and had last Saturday’s Preliminary Final changed from Somerville to Hastings.

After viewing the surface, Sutton and Holmes informed Beel of the condition of the ground and asked for the league to change it.

However, they were told by league officials that the ground was fit for play.

It wasn’t until Holmes, Sutton and Beel drove to Somerville and insisted that the league meet them at the ground and walk over it, that the location was changed.

Beel and club president Mick O’Rourke left numerous messages and emails with league chief Jeff Jones to contact them about the situation throughout the week.

On Saturday, they still had not received a reply.

Doggies maul sinking Sharks PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MORNINGTON booted 11 goals to three after half time to run all over the top of Bonbeach in the Peninsula League Preliminary Final on Sunday.

The Doggies will play Frankston YCW in the Grand Final this Sunday at Frankston Park after winning their third straight final, 14.11 (95) to 12.7 (79).

Mornington had to work hard to turn the game around though.

The Dogs looked shot at half time, trailing by 39 points after being completely blown away by the Sharks.

The Bonbeach half back line, led by Gary Carpenter and Paul Rebeschini, was dominating for Bonbeach, Shane McDonald was left one out on too many occasions and had five goals at the major interval and Matty Batten was completely shutting down the dangerous Jackson Calder.

Brad Sykes was a welcome addition to the team, along with James Norton and Dylan Jones, while Rob Horler was also brought into the line-up. Other than Anthony Raso, the Sharks were at full strength.

Shaun Foster was presenting well across half forward for the Sharks and making a nuisance of himself and Jackson Casey was dominating through the middle of the ground.

Many pundits in the crowd were claiming that the game would be over at

inside 50 and for the first time in the match, rushed Bonbeach’s defence and put them under enormous pressure.

Williams booted two goals himself and set-up another in the space of 10 minutes and within a blink of an eye, the Doggies were just a goal down.

Chris Paxino and Warwick Miller started to take control of the game for the Dogs and Ben Clements and Stuart Seagar (two goals) started to look dangerous.

Adam Symes started to get the better of McDonald too, while Chris Baker was backing himself in the back half and Barry Smeeton and Danny Nolan were exerting their influence on the game around the contests.

The underrated Paul Dadds and Ryan Smith, as well as Tommy Simpson, were also continuing the good work they displayed in the first half.

The result was an amazing turnaround. In fact, the Dogs booted seven goals to one for the quarter to trail by just three points at three quarter time.

Shane McDonald’s sixth and final goal put the Sharks back in front just before the three quarter time siren.

In amazing circumstances, despite the wind favouring the Kars St end of Frankston Park in the first three quarters, the direction changed in the last quarter and shifted in favour of the Port Phillip Bay end.

Luck was on the Dogs’ side and they responded in kind. The last quarter was

Heading for grand final: Crib Point players were relieved to beat Rye by just 1 point and make it to the Nepean League Grand Final. Picture: Andrew Hurst

the 10-minute mark of the third quarter, such was Bonbeach’s dominance.

It certainly looked that way, that’s for sure.

However, there was one legend of the game and a Bonbeach follower who claimed that if Mornington could get back to within three goals at three quarter time, they would run all over the top of the Sharks.

One thing was for certain, if Mornington didn’t change things up at half time, the result of the contest was obvious.

Mornington coach Stuart Seager and his brains trust need to be commended.

They swung the changes, put some heavier bodies in the middle of the ground, dragged Calder up the ground to give them a midfield tall target and stuck Michael Williams inside attacking 50.

The result was immediate.

Man mountain ruckman Michael Gay, who was winning the tap outs already, started to be rewarded with his own midfielders winning the footy in the middle.

This gave the Dogs quick access

all Mornington, booting 4.7 to two goals in the final 28 minutes.

Jackson Calder booted two last quarter goals and highlighted his maturity and never say die attitude.

After the game, Seager said it was a “great win”.

“It was a real credit to the boys to stand up in that second half,” Seager said.

Seager needs to take a lot of credit himself – the moves that were made to turn the game around were match winning.

The third quarter onslaught was the third time in as many weeks that Mornington has blown away sides in the third quarter – they did it against Langwarrin, Edithvale and Bonbeach on Sunday.

Certainly, the Dogs would want to be a lot closer than 39 points at half time this weekend against Frankston YCW in the Grand Final.

The Doggies have been wonderful this season and are a worthy combatant to tackle YCW this weekend.

Bonbeach will now turn its attention to finding another coach after Steve Capp resigned more than a month ago.

At this stage, other than former Melbourne midfielder (and former Mt Eliza coach) Paul Hopgood and Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra, they have not interviewed any other candidates.

The search will begin in earnest this week.

Goosey gone, clubs start coaches search FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt

Coaching coup for Bombers Langwarrin midfielder and former Hawthorn first round draft pick Beau Muston will coach Frankston Bombers next season.

Muston booted almost 40 goals for the Kangas this season, however, is looking for greater opportunity to coach.

It appears that former Hawthorn and Port Adelaide player and Frankston Bombers’ premiership player Nathan Lonie has lured Muston to the club.

Nathan Lonie is believed to be keen to have a chairman of selectors role and run the bench for Muston.

There is no suggestion that Nathan Lonie will play.

It also believed that Ryan Lonie is not at all interested in a return to Bomberland in any capacity.

Goosey no longer a Dolphin It appears Simon Goosey has coached his last game for Frankston Dolphins.

The new board asked Goosey, who has coached the Dolphins for the past six years, to reapply for his position, after the previous board gave him the nod for 2015.

It is believed Goosey is not prepared to reapply.

The Mornington premiership coach and the league’s greatest ever goal kicker has been interviewed at St Kilda for a development position, while it is also understood that there is a big offer on the table in Perth with a WAFL Club.

We also hear that Mornington is keen to get ‘Goose’ back to the club after Stuart Seagar resigned due to work commitments.

Dolphins fall out

There has been a fall out at Dolphins

Coaching movements

The coaching merry-go-round continues with many clubs still looking for coaches.

Rye is the newest club looking for a coach after Ben Holmes retired. Although Holmes has retired from Rye, there are at least six clubs looking at his services as a player for next season.

After a stellar second half to the 2014 season, Holmes is a long way from finished as a player.

Former Hastings’ coach Glenn Michie is back and looking for a role in local footy next season. ‘Mouse’

coached the Blues to a one-point loss to Sorrento in the Nepean League Grand Final. This season he coached his home club Newborough. After winning the second semi-final against Mirboo North by 90 points, his team was beaten by a point in the Grand Final by the same team. He has already been interviewed by Pearcedale and will be interviewed by Devon Meadows this week. Mornington is also keen to have a chat with him.

At Mornington, it is believed that former Rye and Pines coach Steve Ryan and former Edithvale coach Troy Shannon are of interest. Ryan is still the preferred candidate for Devon Meadows and would be a wonderful fit at that club.

Player movements There is no doubt that this is silly season and players are already looking elsewhere.

as a result of Simon Goosey effectively being given the chop from the new board.

Goosey’s assistant Pat Swayne is said to be considering the vacant Pines job, while star players Scott Simpson and Michael Lourey are considering a return to Mt Eliza.

It is understood that Frankston YCW has offered Dromana premiership player Christian Ongarello a spot on their list next season. ‘Onga’ lives in Elwood. The likelihood is that he may retire from the game, which would be premature after making the Nepean Team of the Year.

Langwarrin will welcome back three top liners next season in Jayden Grose, Shane Patterson and Gerard ‘Boofa’ Brown. Meanwhile, former Dromana premiership player and new Langwarrin midfielder, Liam Hogan, won the club’s best and fairest.

There was a lot of talk coming out of Hastings last week about player unrest. There was even talk that the coach was approached and told that if certain players were not asked to leave, there could be a mass walk-out. According to a club legend, the talk has no substance or truth to it.

The masculine exterior is complemented with front mud guards, side steps and rear deflector. High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps come as standard to help improve visibility on and off the road and a rear differential lock enhances the Pajero’s superior 4WD capabilities.

The mid-range Pajero GLS replaces the GLXR and VRX models, with an RRP of $58,990.

The GLS gains the Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS) with satellite navigation, reversing sensors, rain sensing wipers and dusk sensing headlamps. Inside, heated and

power front seats and partial leather seat trim offer added comfort.

The top of the range Pajero Exceed is packed with stylish features for the ultimate in superior four-wheel driving. Electric sunroof with slide and tilt, sport pedals, chrome windscreen and side protection moulding and a wood and leather four-spoke steering wheel enhance the interior appearance.

Automatic high beam is a new feature on the Pajero Exceed. A forward facing camera located in the rear view mirror bracket senses oncoming vehicle headlights and adjusts accordingly to allow the driver to stay focused on the road at all times. The Pajero Exceed is available from $65,990 RRP. Mitsubishi Motors Australia Executive Director of Marketing Tony Principe said the 15MY Pajero offers the best in 4WD technology, with updated styling, new features and sharp pricing to enhance its appeal.

“The Pajero has been a long favourite of Australian customers with its remarkable 4WD capabilities, safety features and exceptional power and performance,” he said.

“The Pajero nameplate has rightfully earned its reputation for legendary off-road performance through decades of development and success in motorsport.

“The updated 2015 Pajero range is packed full of features and offers the ultimate in premium four-wheel driving with no compromise on value.

“We’ve added luxury specifications across the range to enhance drive comfort and convenience with a model to suit every adventure.”

Mitsubishi’s 2015 model year Pajero range has a 5 year/100,000km New Vehicle Warranty and is on sale now at Mornington Mitsubishi, 41 Tyabb Road, Mornington. Phone (03) 5975 5188.
