Poor bear budget brunt

By Stephen Taylor THE most disadvantaged people in our society will be the hardest hit by the federal Budget – the young unemployed, disabled, and single parents, says Emma King, CEO of the Victorian Council of Social Services.

“I think young people are being demonized,’’ she told The News.

“The government is hitting our poorest and most vulnerable people – the long-term unemployed and the disabled.

“They are being hit on so many fronts, such as with university sector fees to be deregulated giving them the green light to charge more, which will

further disadvantage young people.’’

Ms King said moving more young people off the Newstart Allowance – which she said was $36 a day – would see more people forced into poverty. ‘’The notion that the so-called Age of Entitlement is over is so much nonsense - as is the notion that somehow the politicians’ pay freeze is going to achieve anything worthwhile.’’

Under the new rules, to start on January 1, applicants for Newstart or the Youth Allowance will have to wait six months before receiving the dole, then work for it for another six months before either getting a job or getting cut off again for another six months.

Newstart will be denied to those aged under 24 (a loss of $48 a week on the current arrangement) and move more young people on the disability support pension to Newstart or the Youth Allowance (a cut of $166 a week).

On the plus side there are incentives up to $10,000 over three years for employers who hire older workers – especially those who have been unemployed for six months or more.

This so-called ‘’earning or learning’’ program is expected to save the government $1.2 billion over four years.

Ms King was scathing: ‘’For young unemployed to be denied youth support for six months, and to push the

disabled off the disability support pension, is outrageous. How are they going to live?’’

She said low-income parents will struggle to provide for young, outof-work family members – many of them school leavers - who are unable to find work yet cannot access income support for six months of every year.

And she is concerned for the many young unemployed who don’t have any parental support. ‘’Instead of acknowledging that early intervention and prevention of joblessness gives a real return on investment, and instead of investing in these things, the Budget will entrench disadvantage.’’

Dr Kathy Landvogt, social policy & research unit manager at Good Shepherd Youth & Family Service – which has offices in Frankston, Hastings and Mornington – said the Budget ‘’lacked coherence and fails its own test of securing the nation’s economic health for the future’’.

She said the ‘Sharing the pain’ adage touted by Treasurer Joe Hockey did not justify ‘’savage cuts in payments to single mums, young people, indigenous Australians, those with disabilities and older people. ‘’Their lives just got even more difficult,’’ she said.

Olympic quest: James Wierzbowsk and Pip Pietromonaco train in Italy with the national sailing team. Picture: Roberto Vuilleumier

Peninsula duo set sail for Olympic glory

By Chris Brennan YOUNG Mornington Peninsula sailors Pip Pietromonaco and James Wierzbowski recently set sail for Europe as part of the Australian Sailing Team after being selected to represent their country at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Pietromonaco, 22, from the Westernport Yacht Club and Wierzbowski, also 22, from Merricks Yacht Club, learned in March they had won places on the 15-member national Olympic sailing team and are now competing in a full itinerary of inter-

national events across Europe. The long-time stars of peninsula sailing are competing together in the new discipline of Mixed Multihull in the fastest Olympic sailing class, the Nacra 17.

Wierzbowski told The News it was a “long road to Rio” but after training on the waters of Western Port through countless winters, they were looking forward to the opportunity to compete against the world’s best on the Olympic Sailing Circuit.

They are currently training on Lake Garda in the

Italian Alps after last month finishing in the top 20 in their class at the Sailing World Cup in France.

That result follows an already highly successful 2014, with the duo winning their first National Championship and gaining selection into the Australian Sailing Squad and Victorian Institute of Sport.

Over the next four months, the pair will continue training throughout Europe with the rest of the Australian Sailing Team in the lead up to the year’s main international event: the ISAF Sailing

World Championships off Santander, Spain, at the end of September.

Wierzbowski said that while their recent success had enabled them to access “a small amount of government funding” they still relied on support from the peninsula community to help them realize their dream of Olympic glory.

IT is that time of year again, when the International Cool Climate Wine Show is held on the Mornington Peninsula.

Owned and organised by the Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Show, and held at the Mornington Racing Club, it was originally established to help benchmark cool climate wines.

Since 2000, entries have grown dramatically along with the events reputation.

There are three companion events that accompany the judging. The popular Public Tasting event, proudly sponsored by Luigi Bormioli,

gives the general public the chance to come and sample the entries in the show, including being able to vote for the “People’s Choice Award”. The awards dinner, proudly sponsored

by Hillview Quarries, Peninsula Bulk Meats and Ingham, also allows guests to enjoy a gourmet three course dinner and select complementary wines from the extensive list of entries.

The Masterclass, proudly sponsored by the Mornington Peninsula Shire, is also offered to sommeliers and wine buyers. Held at Southbank, the Masterclass provides a unique opportunity for the wine trade to taste gold medal winning wines and will again be led by Meg Brodtmann MW.

Allen memories an inspiration for Todd

By Stephen Taylor ENTERTAINER Todd McKenney really does become Peter Allen in his new stage show Todd McKenney Sings Peter Allen coming to the Frankston Performing Arts Centre on Saturday 31 May. The show is the 11th of a 12-venue tour running throughout mostly regional NSW and Victoria since 4 April.

McKenney is a ‘natural’ as Allen: both are outrageous, quick-witted and high-energy entertainers who love to strut their stuff and ‘connect’ with their audiences. Both began entertaining at an early age, with McKenney dancing from age three.

He became well known to TV audiences after portraying Allen in the original 1998 production of The Boy from Oz. He was a judge on Australia’s version of Dancing with the Stars and has won many dancing titles, being trained in jazz, tap, acrobatics and ballroom.

He’s also known for his acerbic wit and irreverent sense of humour. He’s said to be as fit as he’s ever been and matches Allen’s noted high energy on stage.

The show is not just McKenney singing Peter Allen’s hits, but also songs from his earlier musical theatre performances. He’ll tell stories and anecdotes about Allen, as well as lots of ‘’goss’’ from Dancing with the Stars.

Speaking to The News on Friday, McKenney said he first saw the flamboyant Peter Allen at the Perth concert hall in 1977 doing what he did best - a one-man show. ‘’Mum had been given free tickets and we had seats close to the front. I was 14 and it was my first live show. And, yes, I was enthralled.

It made a huge impact on me.’’

Asked if Allen had become something of an alter ego, McKenney said: ‘’I must admit I was very taken by him and so I’d have to say ‘yes’. We are cut from the same cloth, so to speak, and he kind of organically seeped into my being.’’

Inspired by Allen’s stage character and outgoing personality, McKenney said he worked hard learning to talk and connect with members of his audience. ‘’Now I can do most of it naturally,’’ he said. ‘’I learned that, as I didn’t have a massive technical range, I would have to learn to be able to tell a story ... to sell myself to the audience by telling them a story.’’

A favourite song in the show is Tenterfield Saddler, which he said audiences usually greeted with ‘aahs!’ ‘’It’s an emotional song and they usually sing along to it. Another favourite is Fly Away.

The performer has sold out twice at the arts centre – most recently a year ago. ‘’I really like performing there; it has great acoustics and I can feel the audience.’’

Wrecking ball end to Shoreham build saga

So far the 12-show tour has done well: ‘’We’ve sold out everywhere,’’ he said.

McKenney has had a busy 12 months, working in the stage show Grease in Melbourne, preparing for this tour, his new album (of the same name as the tour), his role in The Production Company show La Cage Aux Folles, and now the centre stage shows.

The Frankston performance will have a difference. Organisers say members of the audience with a question should call it out during the show - and McKenney will likely answer it.

And, they say, you’re most welcome to score his performance a la Dancing with the Stars.

THE owner of a Shoreham house demolished on shire orders had twice sought retrospective approval through failed permit applications in 2012 and 2013.

Both were refused as being incompatible with the purpose of the Green Wedge Zone and state and local policies and prohibited under the provisions of the zone.

The result: a bulldozer last week knocked over the converted bungalow in Tucks Rd at the owner’s expense.

The demolition ended a long running battle between the shire and the owner, who uses the 20ha property as a weekend retreat.

The building, one of three on the block, was first reported to the council in 2011. It is believed non-approved plumbing and electrical work exacerbated the issue.

The knock-down saga was aired on 3AW’s Rumour File segment, and, later, when Channel 7 reporter Glenn Connolly said the council had tried to cooperate with the owner. “There’s been about 18 months of negotiations and there was a suggestion that if he was to make some changes, perhaps take out the plumbing, (the small property could stay)” he said. “(But) I think he’s a fairly wealthy homeowner and he really had his back up and had a big dispute with the council over a long period where they just couldn’t come to an agreement.

“And the council issued the order for the demolition of the property.

The owner had to arrange that and pay for it; they didn’t just show up on his doorstep this morning.”

Stephen Chapple, the shire’s director, sustainable environment, told The News that property owners had to seek appropriate planning and building approvals before they build, or make alterations to buildings. ‘’These statutory approval processes take into consideration the various zones and overlays that apply to a property,’’ he said. ‘’The shire’s statutory building team receives reports about potentially illegal building constructions from various sources. It then investigates, starting with desk-top assessments of approvals issued to the property. They also analyse aerial photos to determine if a building has been constructed without the necessary permits. ‘’If an illegal construction is observed, shire officers contact the owner and work through the various statutory and legal processes that apply. ‘’Some of these processes allow retrospective approval, and other processes ultimately lead to the demolition of the building.’’

Mr Chapple said the council always sought cooperation from owners in all its development compliance activities ‘’but, when necessary, council takes formal legal action through the courts. ‘’The owners [of this property] were, ultimately, directed to demolish the house by the shire’s municipal building surveyor and they organised this at their cost.’’

Those contemplating a building project should contact the shire on 1300 850 600 or seek advice from a qualified building professional.

The fog EARLY morning fog rolled in over Port Phillip Bay on Monday. It settled into a low cloud cover that lasted till late afternoon.

Viewed from atop Arthurs Seat, the eerie mist resembled a white cotton wool blanket, as it hugged the Mornington Peninsula coast.

Mt Martha was shrouded in the strange fog until late afternoon.

Frankston parents will be able to hear this entertaining speaker in two talks at High Street Uniting Church later this month: The Secrets of Happy Children will be held at 7.30pm on Monday, 26 May and Raising Girls at 7.30pm on Tuesday 27 May. Proceeds will go to community projects in Frankston.

A family psychologist for 25 years, Biddulph is retired but continues to write and teach.

His work has influenced the way we look at childhood and, especially, the development of boys and men.

Today, though, the exploitation and misuse of girls and young women globally are

his major concern.

That concern prompted him to speak overseas. He sold out a number of theatre tours across the UK and hopes to return there again later this year.

Many are surprised at how moving and emotional his talks are, as well as how much fun.

In The Secrets of Happy Children talk, Biddulph will discuss what’s really happening inside kids’ minds, how to be a stronger, more loving, more relaxed parent, how to help toddlers and children feel secure and settled, discipline methods that work, making sure your love gets through and the child-care dilemma.

In Raising Girls, he will discuss what’s happening to our girls. At all ages, they need our help to believe in themselves, he says. They are growing up too fast, are stressed and unhappy. Yet girlhood is meant to be an adventure and a joy. From toddlerhood to teens, there are specific things you can do to help them to be wise, warm and strong.

Tickets at www. frankstonuniting.org.au are $30 which includes a light supper.

LETTERS Misguided approach IT was great to read that our chapter of Amnesty International has brought the plight of asylum seekers in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care to the attention of local member Greg Hunt (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Amnesty demands rights answersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News, 13/5/14).

On the other hand, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not impressed by his blind defence of this cruel regime. He even went as far as to accuse this fine, unbiased organisation of partisanship. It is under this governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watch that a refugee was murdered. And we still have no answers about it, or if it could happen again. It is high time our local member started representing us in cabinet. So far, his decisions on caring for the environment smack of kowtowing to the vested interests of big corporations and big money.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Put rate rises to vote THE suggestion that council rate increases should be restricted to the CPI is an excellent idea. Few ratepayers see their income increasing faster than the CPI, so councils should also accept this limitation on their ability to tax ratepayers. For too many years Mornington Shire Council has raised rates at more than twice the rate of the CPI. It is time this council had a hard look that what they do. If many of the proposed actions by this council were to be delayed by a year, or perhaps omitted, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think ratepayers would be too upset. The council could

NEWS DESK get ratepayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions on rate increases via referendum, at very little cost, at the next council elections. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they do it?

B.G.Hunt, Mt Eliza

Eyes on fiscal prize OF course Mayor Celi is opposed to the cap on rates as it would mean that Mornington Peninsula Shire would have to exercise some semblance of fiscal restraint. And where could the fiscal restraint come from? One suggestion would be not hiring consultants to do studies that never see the light of day. Another would be to develop realistic structure plans that can be funded, such as the new Rosebud structure plan and the 1999 Safety Beach foreshore master plan. Neither of these was fully funded from the prior structure plans, so now we pay more consultants to develop more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;visioningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plans that will never be achieved.

Another suggestion would be to figure out how to collect money from the tourists.

They use all of our services, trash the place, then we clean up after them and pay for it via increased rates - with no benefits accruing. I suspect that 85 per cent of residents would vote â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in a referendum for this. Collecting $5 a day from tourists could add several million a year to shire revenues, so why are they so reluctant to consider this? Other tourist destinations have done it. It would not reduce tourist visits.

They would complain but they

would still come in droves.

Abhorrent rate increases with little fiscal restraint (talk to any ratepayer anywhere) must be justified to someone who, unlike our councillors, has proper budgeting skills.

Councils should look at their bloated manpower and salary structures - just like business do.

For example, supposedly the Hastings pool cannot be managed by anyone except the shire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to reduce its million dollar loss each year - is because to turn it over to professional management (the YMCA, for example) would be unworkable because the wages paid by the shire far exceed what professional management companies pay.

A commission should be formed to listen to, and act on, ratepayer complaints about council abuses. The Ombudsman and Local Government Inspectorate are â&#x20AC;&#x153;weak asâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to listening to legitimate complaints.

Another action they could take is to restrict the use of confidentiality so that the CEO and council cannot just label items â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;confidentialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; simply because they do not want ratepayers to know what is going on.

Police seek two over Australia Day assault A MAN was allegedly punched and robbed in Mornington on Australia Day, 26 January.

The victim was walking along Main St around 8.30pm when a man demanded his mobile phone before punching and head-butting him. The attacker was last seen boarding a Frankston-bound bus in Barkly Street.

Police have released images of two men they believe may be able to assist in their inquiries.

The attacker is described as Caucasian, aged in his late teens, with a worded tattoo around his neck and wearing a pink singlet and green and white shorts.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. ď Ž POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nastyâ&#x20AC;? mid-morning brawl in a convenience store car park in Frankston on Thursday during which two men were assaulted.

The fight, which erupted outside the 7-Eleven store in Beach St, across the road from the Chisolm TAFE car park, about 10am, was captured on video and was widely circulated across social media networks.

Three teenagers were arrested and taken into custody shortly after the brawl.

Police are still looking for a woman who was seen punching one of the victims while he was on the ground grappling with another alleged offender.

The victims are believed to be linked to the Chisolm TAFE trade training centre and regular customers of the convenience store.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the fight to contact Constable Osbourne at Frankston police station on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. ď Ž A MAJOR police search and rescue operation was launched off Frankston last Sunday following

Wanted: Police are asking for assistance from the public to help identify two youths wanted for questioning following an assault in Mornington.

the discovery of an unmanned kayak floating in the bay.

Water police and the police air wing were called in after the discovery of the kayak several hundred metres out to sea off the mouth of Kananook Creek about 9.45.

A large crowd was present on the foreshore as a police launch towed the mystery kayak in to the boat ramp.

However, Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb of Frankston police said some â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick detective workâ&#x20AC;? was able to identify the owner of the kayak.

He was discovered safe and well at a nearby Frankston address.

He was taken to hospital for psychological assessment and treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thankfully we had a good outcome, so we were very relieved to find this individual safe and unharmed,â&#x20AC;? Senior Sergeant Lamb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were certainly very concerned and feared for the worse when the abandoned kayak was discovered.â&#x20AC;?

No Kidd-ing around for tennis star

By Neil Walker EMMA Hall is a big hitter. The Mount Martha resident began playing tennis seriously when she was 11 years old and left Australia to head off to the US in the late 1990s to play tennis professionally, having made her name on the Australian juniors circuit.

The 34-year-old is now set to have her US achievements immortalised in the Big South Conference Hall of Fame this week.

It’s a long way from her tennis career beginnings at Main Ridge tennis club and current stint as Rosebud Tennis Club’s section 1 team captain, leading the team to “back to back” premierships for the past two seasons.

The Big South Conference is a Division 1 athletic conference with members coming from Virginia and the Carolinas’ universities. She will be just the 54th Hall of Fame inductee in its 11-year existence.

Previous Big South Conference Hall of Fame inductees – including student-athletes, coaches, administrators and contributors - have come from 17 different sports, making Hall’s ascension to their ranks an indication of just how highly Coastal Carolina University rates her success as a sporting champion for the university.

“It’s an honour to be inducted into the hall of fame,” Hall said. “It was a real education growing up away from home and I was really fortunate to get the chance to get a sports scholarship.”

CCU’s faith in Hall’s sporting prowess paid off in tennis titles for the university.

She was a four-time Big South Women’s Tennis Player of the Year the first and only Big South women’s athlete in League history to be award Player of the Year all four years of eligibility.

Hall still holds Coastal Carolina’s school record for most singles victories with 114, as well as doubles wins with 92. Her final four-year record against Big South competition was 28-1 in singles and 22-2 in doubles.

She was voted the Big South Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in 1999 - the second tennis player at

the time to receive both awards in the same season, and led the Chanticleers to the finals of the Women’s Tennis Championship in 2000, which was Coastal’s first appearance in the title match since 1995.

As a junior in 2001, Kidd was part of CCU’s first-ever Big South Women’s Tennis Championship and NCAA

Tournament berth, as the Chants went 20-2 that season.

She helped the Chanticleers reach the Big South final for the third consecutive year in 2002. During her time in Conway, Kidd led Coastal to a 62-23 overall record, including an 18-4 mark in Big South play.

A three-time ITA Scholar-Athlete selection in 2000, 2001 and 2002, Kidd was a three-time member of the Big South Women’s Tennis AllAcademic Team and was voted the Women’s Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2000. She was also a four-time team MVP and two-time team captain during her career. Kidd played professionally in 2005 and 2006, and was inducted into Coastal Carolina’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007.

Hall will head off to the Carolina with her American husband, Mac, who she met in a love match while in Carolina, to attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, but looking back, she believes her time at university was not all about tennis.

“The education component was really important and I’d urge anyone who gets the chance to undertake a sports scholarship to make sure they study to complete a degree.”

Hall is content to be a stay-at-home parent for the moment, having previously worked at Mornington Peninsula Shire in council’s recreation department.

“Being a mum is the toughest challenge I’ve ever had but I love it,” she said.

Books bound to go BOOK and art lovers will feast later this month at the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza book bonanza and art sale.

The sale is on Saturday 24 May (10am-3pm) and Sunday 25 May (9am-2pm) at Mt Eliza Scout Hall behind the shops on Mt Eliza Way. Club member Linda Morris said there would be “thousands of collectable books covering a multitude of topics for families and people of all ages”.

Categories include biography, literature, the arts, birds, plants, photography, antiques, interior design, cooking, gardening, handcrafts, motoring, military history, home repairs, wine, sport and more.

Others include novels, crime, children’s, health, marketing, Australiana and coffee table books.

“We have boxed sets of Manning Clark, Aga-

tha Christie, Charles Dickens and Rudyard Kipling as well as some very old books,” she said.

“There will be a wide range of paintings and art work.”

Book seller Merrilyn Hamilton-Smith said the annual book bonanza is a great opportunity to find rare and vintage books that are out of print.

Tea, coffee and scones complete the picture.

WHAT’S ON AT NEPTOURS

Gina’s crusade looks for a hand up to help

By Cameron McCullough FROM her first memory, Gina Poulos was taught to give.

A migrant family from Cypress, she recalls there always being people at their house, and those people never leaving empty handed.

“When we arrived in Australia, we settled in Traralgon. I always remember my parents being very generous people and they taught us to always give people whatever we had” said Mrs Poulos.

Her father eventually owned rental properties in the area.

Sometimes the people renting the houses had fallen on hard times, so when they came around to pay the rent, the family made sure they never left empty handed.

“It was the strong religious upbringing that was at the root of it all.”

Once married, Gina followed in the tradition. It started with giving food, but the need was too great for Gina to ignore.

“My husband and I eventually opened Theodora House in Morwell, to put a roof over the heads of troubled people.”

“Theodora means ‘A gift from God’,” said Mrs Poulos. “It was open to all. Families that were down on their luck, those with mental illness, and even people straight from gaol.”

“It was like a petrol station.

People would arrive empty, and they’d leave refilled.”

Eventually Theodora House closed and Gina and Peter decided to move to Langwarrin to be clos-

er to their grandchild.

“We still have a food bank in Morwell, run by volunteers, but it was time for us to move on.”

As it turned out, the art of giving wasn’t finished with Gina Poulos yet.

“Once in Langwarrin, I began seeing the same need I’d seen in Morwell,” said Mrs Poulos.

“I began giving out food, and it has grown into a big operation once again.”

While the primary reason for contacting Theodora House is the need for food, that is just the start for Mrs Poulos.

“I don’t just want to give food. I want to give a listening ear. I want to give them love. I want to give them support.”

Mrs Poulos started packing food parcels in an old marquee in her front yard in Langwarrin.

“People thought we were holding a garage sale. They’d stop and say hello. Some of those people even became our clients.”

“We supply food parcels from Rye in the south up to Hallam. As times have become tougher, the demand has tripled.”

Currently. Theodora House in Langwarrin is servicing about 80 families, and cooking about 300 meals a week.

“Our food parcels have all the basics, but we try and include some cooked meals in their too for the families. Also, I do put a couple of lollipops in there for the kids. Look-

ing after the kids is something close to my heart”.

After having their first delivery van stolen and set on fire, their second van is now broken down.

“The old girl isn’t going anywhere, I am afraid”, said Mrs Poulos.

With so many people to help, and no transport, Theodora House are having trouble getting their food parcels out.

On top of that, cooking 300 meals a week on a four burner stove and trying to find room to pack their food parcels is also making life difficult.

“We’d love some help. If someone has an eight burner stove, or a marquee we could have that would be great, and of course we are looking for another van to get our deliveries out,” said Mrs Poulos.

“These things don’t need to be new. Just reliable so we can help the people who depend on us.”

Mrs Poulos’s house in Langwarrin is a hive of activity these days.

Helped by volunteers who have come on board to cook, pack parcels and do deliveries, she is also assisted by family members.

“My husband and three daughters are a great help. Even my 94 year old mum who lives next door comes and helps each day!”

“If you do something with your heart and get enjoyment, it is its own reward.”

COUNCIL

Council rate hikes ‘not sustainable’

COMMENT

Alan Nelsen Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association president AT its meeting on 22 April 2014 The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council recommended a 5.9 per cent average increase in rates next year.

The council rejected a motion by Cr David Gibb, seconded by Anne Shaw that in addition to the 5.9 per cent rise that the Municipal Charge be increased from $180 to $190 which meant that ratepayers would also have to pay a further $10.

Council now proposes to borrow a further approximately $1 million to offset the loss of revenue because the Municipal Charge will not be increased.

The 5.9 per cent increase is 18 per cent more than the shire told the government less than 12 months ago in its Strategic Plan that rates would only increase by 5.0 per cent for each of the next four years (ie years 2014 to 2017).

How will the rate increase affect you?

The rate increase is an average increase across the whole of the shire, however every second year the shire is required by government to revalue your property and this year is a reevaluation year.

This will affect you because your rates are based on the value of your property and will vary from the 5.9 per cent average increase.

If the value of your property increases less than the average rise across the Shire then you will be lucky because your rate increase will be less than 5.9 per cent.

Conversely, if your property value increases more than the shire average then you will pay

PAGE 12

Mornington News 20 May 2014

more than 5.9 per cent. In effect you subsidise those who have been lucky and pay less.

The reason the government (not the council) requires rates to be based on the value of your property is because those who have the higher valued properties are considered to be better off financially and are able to pay more. This is often called social justice.

Although government directs that rates should be assessed on the value of your property it is the council which sets the amount you pay and the extent of the increase.

Research by the Mornington Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association has found that rate increases over the last decade have been approximately three-times higher than the increase in CPI and double the Municipal Association of Victoria’s estimate of the real increase in councils’ costs.

Both major political parties have expressed concern that the rate rise over the last decade has been excessive.

A recent survey by the Herald Sun’s found that 92 per cent of readers believed councils should be banned from increasing rates above inflation.

The Leader of the Opposition recently announced that “Labor will force councils to cap their rates at CPI and justify any further increases.

Councils wishing to raise their rates above CPI must appeal to the independent Essential Services Commission and justify any rate increases”.

No doubt this will bring a loud and angry response from the strong council lobby group but like the rest of us in the community and business they need to tighten their budget and become more efficient. The shire’s rate increases of the last decade simply cannot be sustained in future.

ALP plan could stymie shire

By David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s decade of strong rate rises – up nearly 120 per cent since 2004-05 – could face a tricky hurdle next financial year if Victoria’s Opposition is elected in November.

Labor’s announcement that it would cap rate rises at CPI and require councils to justify higher rises means the shire would have to get such rate proposals approved by the independent Essential Services Commission.

It would likely face a further hurdle at the ESC were it to follow its normal practice of omitting the municipal charge from its rates calculation. This practice has been hotly disputed for years as giving a false picture of rates rises.

Councillors voted recently not to raise the charge by $10 to $190. It was $80 in 2004-05.

They approved a rate-in-the-dollar rise of 5.9 per cent after debate that it should be pegged at 5 per cent and money borrowed to make up the shortfall.

Last year recently departed finance chief Marilyn Kearney admitted the real 2013-14 rates figure was higher than announced and amended

it to incorporate the municipal charge. She left several weeks ago in the midst of preparing the recently approved 2014-15 budget.

Labor leader Daniel Andrews said the ESC would determine whether rate increases are fair, and will take into account:  Any extraordinary circumstances (e.g. natural disasters, new functions);  Other sources of income available to the council and their overall financial position;  The continued maintenance of essential council services.

At present the ESC ensures that Victorians “pay a fair price for gas, water and electricity. It is the sensible authority to determine council rates.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s stated policy is to lift rates by inflation plus 2 per cent. It has rarely followed this policy, with rates sometimes double or more the CPI. Labor would require councils submit draft budgets to the ESC before they can be adopted.

This would ensure “that councils are properly managing their budgetary responsibilities, and not hitting ratepayers with unsubstantiated or excessive rate increases, Mr Andrews said.

Fiscal floodgates flattened as ban defied

By David Harrison IT was a night to remember, this startling, shocking glimpse of councillors in a state of loosened fiscal décolletage, a heady, sensual recline into monetary abandonment. And that was just the men.

It was shire councillors having their version of a Boxing Day-sale, cash gone in a flash and, like the recent federal budget, only capable of being fully comprehended days later.

It was your rate money – $113,934 of it – whooshing out into the community at the dizzying rate of a rotunda here ($19,900), a war memorial there ($20,000), $1000 of wrist bands over yonder. All in one night, in one devastating torrent, coin came spewing out as if Semtex had blown a hole in the wall of Scrooge McDuck’s fabulous bank vault.

The outflow from councillors’ discretionary fund money boxes – each gets $10,000 annually for four years – is usually a carefully husbanded trickle, usually an item at a time, to very worthy causes, closely examined by shire officers, and duly recorded in meeting minutes.

But not this night. It appeared from the gallery to be a mad rush of 24 spends, with complete agreement among councillors. It was a “moved, seconded, carried” agenda item. Over in moments. No discussion. Not a word.

To advertise in Mornington News contact Bruce Stewart on 0409 428 171

Approval for this monsoonal money maelstrom was explained in the sort of bland bureaucratic language for which the shire is famed and loved: approval was sought “to allocate and disperse Ward Discretionary Fund applications in accordance with the current Ward Discretionary Fund Policy”.

“We’re allowed to spend it, and we’re going to.” But it was hardly “in accordance with” the usual shire practice. This thing was done in a hurry, a big hurry...

That is, “We’re allowed to spend it, and we’re going to.” But it was hardly “in accordance with” the usual shire practice. This thing was done in a hurry, a big hurry, apparently at the instigation of CEO Michael Kennedy, probably pleased to see councillors putting their funds into projects that might otherwise have been included in the shire budget.

What was the impetus for this haste? Answer: the State Government

is banning ward discretionary funds from 30 June because some councillors in Victoria are – gasp! fetch the smelling salts! – misusing them. In the City of Kingston the rules were changed to stop councillors gunnysacking their loot until the last year of their term, to spend in the sacred community cause of being re-elected.

It became “use it or lose it” for them.

So, our shire had decided to “proactively and collectively respond” to the state plan before the door slammed shut.

Council Watch has detected no dodgy practices here. Our councillors are consistently without taint or stain.

Their dash for the till was expressed more objectively by council staff: “The [Local Government Amendment (Governance & Conduct) Bill 2014] proposes extensive changes to the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) to promote good conduct by elected Councillors and to support effective governance by Councils,” they wrote.

“The Bill will change the future administrative arrangements of Ward Discretionary Fund programs across Victoria. Relevant to Ward Discretionary Funds, the Bill will introduce legislation whereby:  Councils will be prohibited from having a policy where a Councillor is able to allocate or nominate Council funds to a person, organisation or fund; and  The allocation of public funds by a Council should only be done by Council resolution or in accordance with appropriate delegation procedures.”

So, there it was, for our councillors, too. Use it or lose it. They have used it, and in manifold creative ways. “The projects put forward in this report realise many community and Council capacity building aspirations and strategic (as well as local) outcomes, writes Alison Leighton, acting director – sustainable organisation, the shire’s name for its chief financial officer.

A “robust” procedure ensured proper assessment, allocation and dispersal of the money. And, it appears, great care was taken to ensure the sums were rounded to the dollar – with three exceptions out of 24 projects. Two of these ($859.94 and $3937.06), mesh nicely into an evendollar result.

All but six projects were costed out at multiples of $500. This makes for tidy bookkeeping, but raises the possibly ignorant query: do most projects the shire undertakes cost

Here is how the ward councillors spent their funds Briars (Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, Bev Colomb): $46,900. Seawinds (Antonella Celi, David Gibb, Graham Pittock): $30,500. Nepean (Hugh Fraser, Tim Rodgers): $9737. Cerberus (David Garnock): $6797. Watson (Lynn Bowden): $20,000. Red Hill (Frank Martin): nil

My favourite is the Rosebud laneway, being “enhanced” to the tune of $16,400 to foil vandals and graffiti scrawlers. Addition of “lighting, street furniture and landscaping” will see an end to that.

FEDERAL BUDGET

Budget grant a sign of the times

By Stephen Taylor THERE’S some good news in the federal Budget after all: tour signage on the Mornington Peninsula will be improved by a grant of $175,000 and the Mornington Youth Centre will be refurbished with a grant of $800,000 - with the shire contributing up to $400,000.

It’s all part of a new National Stronger Regions Fund announced by minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development and deputy PM, Warren Truss.

Nicole Belcher, the shire’s acting manager, Infrastructure Strategy, said the direction-and-tourism signs would be erected along the length of Peninsula Link, and at either end of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and East Link.

She said they would give directions

Signing up: Bruce Billson’s promised Peninsula Link signage.

to townships along the way, such as Frankston, Mt Eliza, Mornington and Hastings. They will also point to tourism attractions nearby.

It is expected that the signs will be up by the end of the year.

The shire also welcomes the funding towards a youth hub at the former Mornington High site.

Robin Adams, the shire’s manager, Child, Youth & Family Services, said plans were on the drawing board for the building. He said he had been involved in consultation with other service providers and young people regarding developing the youth hub and its services. ‘’The new Mornington Youth Hub will complement the existing youth hubs at Hastings (Shed 11) and Rosebud (YLounge) and brings together a range of advice and support, programs

and activities, for young people in Mornington, Mt Martha and Mt Eliza.’’

Construction works will begin later this year.

Mr Truss said regional communities would benefit from the Government’s $1.3 billion commitment to projects that improve infrastructure, the local economy and quality of life. This equates to $200 million a year from next July.

“This funding will support priority projects which create jobs and support economic growth in regional areas,’’ he said.

“From mid next year, the fund will enable councils and community groups to apply for grants of between $20,000 and $10 million to meet up to half the cost of suitable community building projects.’’

Billson’s budget ‘bonanza’ More pressure on peninsula families

By Neil Walker DUNKLEY federal MP Bruce Billson has hailed the Abbott government’s controversial costcutting budget unveiled last week as “great news” for his electorate despite widespread nationwide angst at the severity of some of the measures.

Mr Billson, also the minister for small business, told The News there had “been quite an adult response to the budget” from constituents he had spoken to while out and about.

“People realise we’ve had to act quickly to get the budget back under control,” Mr Billson said. “They’ve been saying ‘yeah, it couldn’t keep going on like that’ to me.”

He said Labor had run up “five record deficits and left $123 billion in future deficits” for the incoming federal government to deal with.

“If we took no action, debt would have hit $667 billion,” Mr Billson said.

Perhaps the “mature” response, as Mr Billson also put it, to the federal budget cuts was due to the influence of the likes of “Margaret of Langwarrin”, the 72-yearold pensioner who Treasurer Joe Hockey revealed had given him the resolve to push ahead with costcutting measures.

Mr Billson has met Margaret on a few occasions but said he had not introduced her to Mr Hockey.

“Joe approached me about her after she got in touch with him,” he said. “Margaret is a lovely, spirited lady who is engaged with her local

community. She’s an interesting character and there’s plenty of those around Dunkley,” he said.

Some voters feel Prime Minister Tony Abbott reneged on his preelection promise to be a “no surprises, no excuses government” before the Coalition won government in September last year.

However, Mr Billson said he had delivered on his personal preelection pledges to secure more than $3 million in funding for the Dunkley electorate in Treasurer Joe Hockey’s first budget.

A list of funding promises Mr Billson made before the election (‘Promises for Dunkley’, The News, 3/9/13) including $1.25m to improve Frankston’s foreshore, $800,000 to build the Mornington Youth Centre and $759,000 to upgrade CCTV and lighting in Dunkley made it on to Mr Hockey’s budget “to do list”.

When questioned about changes to age and disability pensions, Mr Billson said “nothing dramatic” would happen in the short term and he had reassured the elderly this was the case.

“It’ll only really affect people of my vintage and there will still be an important safety net in place.”

The contentious move to force those aged under 30 to wait six months before being eligible for unemployment benefits was a “really important” shift to make young people “build their own capacity to earn or learn”, according to Mr Billson.

Continued from Page 1 ‘’At the other end of the spectrum – and only a temporary measure – people earning $180,000 will contribute 2 per cent toward fixing what is now proving to be a false ‘budget emergency’.

“We are not sharing the pain; we are taking from the most vulnerable. This is not balanced.’’

Good Shepherd Youth & Family Service has been helping the poor and disadvantaged on the Peninsula since 1976.

It assists around 18,000 each year. Dr Landvogt said the ‘’pain of cuts falls disproportionately on those least able to bear it’’, and describes the cuts to Newstart and the Youth Allowance as ‘’brutal’’.

“Not all young people have a family that can support them. Young people in our services are already disadvantaged and struggle to find work. Youth unemployment is higher than in other groups and is increasing. However, investments into the public education, training, and support programs that help them into work are being cut. They will now be punished for this structural problem by being denied access to income support.’’

Dr Landvogt said single mothers would suffer through losing the Family Tax Benefit when their youngest turns 6 instead of 18 – so losing 12 years of payments.

“The compensation payment of $750 per child is hardly an adequate offset,’’ she said. “The well-off, on the other hand, continue to benefit from massive superannuation tax breaks, and the deficit levy does not go nearly far enough to redress this imbalance. The Treasurer speaks of leaving a better legacy for the next generation, but this budget threat-

ens to reap a bitter harvest: an alienated and socially costly underclass created through lack of hope and support.

“The ‘safety net’ exists because there are dangers - not just for individuals but also for society as a whole - in people falling into abject poverty.’’

Maureen Griffin, of the Frankston Food Access Network, said the ‘’assault’’ on the health care system in the federal Budget was alarming.

“I am saddened by this budget for many reasons but the outstanding one for me is the assault on the primary health care model. This is where people are able to affordably take more responsibility for their own health through government provided health promotion education, and by having a good relationship with a GP to help them through times of physical or mental health problems,” she said. “This is of great importance to those already suffering on-going health issues and, possibly, economic and housing problems as well.

Emergency departments and ambulance staff are already well and truly overworked and under resourced.’’

She asked: “What’s the point of winning a Nobel Prize for health research when the health care of citizens in Australia is now being undermined and compromised in this budget? Primary health care and affordable medical support are keys to a healthy society.”

The Frankston Food Access Network was established in 2008 through VicHealth’s ‘Food for All’ project. It is a collaboration between Frankston City Council and Peninsula Health, with participation from a number of community-based groups and agencies, including Ground-

The primary function of FFAN is to address the issue of local food security by raising awareness, supporting community initiatives and liaising with key decision makers and those involved with policy development and reform.

Seaford resident Dr Matthew Mitchell, who has been teaching in schools and universities for more than 20 years, said he was disturbed at the ongoing assault on the young, who would never get to enjoy the educational and social security support their parents and grandparents received, and faced an ever more challenging jobs market.

“I’m appalled at the state and federal governments’ gradual dismantling of civil society in Australia, in particular the ever harder cuts into education budgets, with the TAFE sector copping the brunt of the onslaught. With declining jobs for young people, as the manufacturing and farming sectors struggle, cutting education funding - and now their unemployment entitlements - is incredibly callous.There are serious problems in our society if we have to treat our most vulnerable people in this way.

“We protect wealthy people with schemes that cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars - like negative gearing yet we seek savings of a relatively small $1.2 billion by taking it off the most marginalised.

“We are moving from a society where the strong protect the weak to one in which the weak are exploited and abandoned. It is almost as if there is ‘war on the poor’ by the wealthy and powerful in Australia.’’

‘Gang of six’ dares to dream on station revamp

By Neil Walker FORMER Frankston mayor Christine Richards made the rejuvenation of Frankston’s railway station, surrounds and its bus interchange a priority when she was a councillor and has not given up the dream of seeing change at the long-time blight on Frankston’s reputation.

Ms Richards called time on her council stint in 2012 after serving a four-year term as a councillor.

She decided to try to find a worklife balance in the wake of a bout of cancer.

However, she has now decided to try to effect change for the better from outside the environs of city hall by establishing the Frankston Community Coalition, a group of six people who aim to “be active in the 2014 state government election to be held this November”.

Ms Richards, environmentalist Jenny Hattingh, conservationist Trevor Nock, Frankston Business Chamber president Peter Patterson, service groups leaders Trudy Poole and Ken Rowe make up the “gang of six”.

The group’s first aim is to try to get the Frankston Station redevelopment project back on track.

Ms Richards, the group’s convenor, told The News it was vital for Frankston Station to become “an attractive and drug-free station and public transport precinct” for residents and visitors to the area alike.

“Frankston Station is a perennial problem that has been neglected by both major parties for decades,” she said. “Money is already on the table for the Frankston train station but it’s being misspent. Solutions have been promised by parliamentarians, but

Out of steam: A group of Frankston businesspeople have launched their own draft plan to rejuvenate Frankston train station and its surrounds. Picture: Gary Sissons

have not been properly delivered by the bureaucrats.”

Ms Richards slammed the state government’s latest $13.8 million Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan released late last month as a waste of $3 million spent on the project to date.

“It looks like a child’s coloured pencil drawing,” Ms Richards said.

The Frankston Community Coalition commissioned an alternative draft plan for Frankston station and its surrounds. Ms Richards said Langwarrin designer and drafter Andrew Ferris took just 24 hours to complete a draft free of charge to the group.

“Andrew’s plans provide substantial additional parking for Frankston train commuters, shoppers and future

swimmers who’ll be visiting the new aquatic centre,” Ms Richards said.

“By contrast, the State Government plans cut-back on parking and further discourage car-travellers from entering the city.”

Mr Ferris’ draft plan envisages Frankston City Council relocating from its present office building at Davey St to land owned by council off Fletcher Rd near the train station.

“The proposed council office footprint of 2620 is slightly larger than the existing building, but would have at least five storeys, with a carpark underneath” Mr Ferris said.

“The building can incorporate key green initiatives including solar panels, water re-use, some recycled materials, with far better facilities, meeting rooms and staff areas. The

corner site links with the new pool, and is a prominent position that is currently under-utilised. Additional levels could be let to private industry.

Office occupants would enjoy bay views.”

Mr Ferris said the sale of the existing council offices could provide funds for the project, along with money from state and federal sources allocated for transport infrastructure.

A traffic engineer would have to be hired to ensure traffic jams did not become a problem in the area, according to Mr Ferris.

Independent maverick MP Geoff Shaw has toed the Liberal Party line on the Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan saying in state parliament last week that Frankston residents’ views would be

taken into account when redeveloping the train station and its surrounds and asking state transport minister Terry Mulder to clarify whether the $13.8m project is “a waste of money”.

“There is a small group of agitators, led by a former mayor and backed by certain Frankston councillors, criticising the plans through the media. The agitators are stating that this is all a waste of money for a few trees and cosmetics,” Mr Shaw said.

In reply, Mr Mulder said the state government’s draft plan had been finalised after “extensive community engagements” and “a series of design workshops held in 2013-14 between state and local government.”

“I say to those agitators who raise the issue of transport safety and efficiency before trees, the amenity of the station is just as important as the efficiency of the public transport network and the way the public transport network interacts with the community,” Mr Mulder said.

“The PSOs [protective services officers] on the station, the upgrade to the Frankston line, the money we have invested in maintaining and improving that line have resulted in a massive increase in [trains] punctuality – 90.8 per cent over 12 months.”

Community feedback on the state government’s Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan can be lodged by Friday 23 May via www.dpcd.vic.gov.au Ms Richards said the Frankston Community Coalition is holding a public meeting about its plans to transform Frankston station at Mechanics Hall in Plowman Place on Thursday 22 May at 7.30pm. Doors open at 7.15pm.

Organisers tickled pink after record turnout

By Chris Brennan MORE than 1800 people formed a sea of pink across Dromana last Sunday as they took part in the nation’s largest charity event, the Mother’s Day Classic.

They joined more than 135,000 Australians at a record 99 locations around the country for a run or walk in support of the fight against breast cancer.

The event is aimed at raising awareness and honouring those impacted by breast cancer, as well as funding vital research into treatment, detection and prevention through the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

More than $30,000 was raised from the southern peninsula event, which involved a 4 kilometre walk or run from Dromana Pier to McCrae Lighthouse.

Local organisers said 1837 “happy walkers and runners” had taken part in the event, celebrating Mother’s Day by doing “something special for the special women in their lives”.

Mother’s Day Classic chairwoman Louise Davidson thanks participants for the “huge support” they had shown.

“It gives me goose bumps each Mother’s Day to look out into that sea of pink and to feel the camaraderie and support offered to event participants, every single person who joined in or who donated helped make Mother’s Day memorable and meaningful,” Ms Davidson said.

She said the Mother’s Day Classic, which began in 1998, was the biggest single donor to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, having donated

$19.8 million, including a record $5 million in 2013.

Ms Davidson said this did not yet include money raised from this year’s event, with fundraising open until last Friday.

A further 480 participants took part in a parallel Mother’s Day Classic Event at the Coolart Historical Homestead and Wetlands in Somers, while 326 turned out at Flinders.

Somers/Balnarring organising committee member Michelle Glesson said this year’s event had been a “fantastist success”, with even the weather playing its part as the drizzle and haze of last week clearing to reveal dazzling blues skies over Western Port on Sunday morning.

“It was a perfect day, a fantastic event, truly inspiring for everyone who took part,” she said. “We had everyone from babies to the elderly, people in wheel chairs, and woman at different stages of cancer treatment, including those who have come through the other side.

“It was wonderful to see the level of support from the community in helping raise money to battle this terrible disease that affects not just the sufferers themselves but also their families and friends.”

Flinders organising committee member Denise Kibby said their turnout was far bigger than expected.

“We’re so happy with the response; it was our first ever event this year,” she said. “We’d only expected about 100 people so to get more than 300 is fantastic, especially for such a little village.”

Only in cases where the trainees have obtained permission to absent themselves from the regular camps will pay be given for attendance, provided that no opportunity has arisen for their attending camp in the meanwhile. Legal proceedings will at once be taken against trainees who do not attend this camp. *** MAJOR C W Cambell introduced Mr J O Inglis to Frankston on Friday afternoon last, and the visitor was so impressed with Frankston as a seaside resort, that he purchased all the allotments (three in number) that Mr Jolly had to sell. This makes a total of seventy four building allotments bought

by Mr Jolly in Frankston during the past eighteen months, all of which were purchased through the local agents Mr J Nott Marsh and Messrs Brody and Mason. Mr Jolly has now resold all his allotments at satisfactory prices. *** AN exciting bolt occurred in Bay Street, Frankston, on Wednesday morning, when the horse being driven

by Mr C McKenzie got out of control.

In crossing between the gardens, the jinker was overturned, and the occupants precipitated on to the road.

The jinker again righted itself and the horse crossed the road onto the footpath in front of Jacobs, where it fell, and slid along the path for some distance. On regaining its feet, the animal careered madly along the footpath, which it left near Cham Berlin’s, and took to the road. A tree on the Melbourne road freed the horse of its incubus and turned the jinker on its side with badly bent axle and other damage. The driver and his brother luckily escaped injury, as also did the horse.

Complaints have recently reached us from Langwarrin residents, complaining of the practise of some of the people in the district of poisoning rabbits without posting notices, and afterwards throwing the dead rabbits on to the road.

*** THE annual sale of gifts in aid of the support of students in New Guinea will be held in the Methodist Church Schoolroom this afternoon and evening (Saturday), commencing at 3 o’clock. *** COMPLAINTS have recently reached

us from Langwarrin residents, complaining of the practise of some of the people in the district of poisoning rabbits without posting notices, and afterwards throwing the dead rabbits on to the road. Several valuable dogs have thus been poisoned and the owners are full of righteous indignation.

There is a penalty for anyone laying poison without posting notices, and the carcases are supposed to be buried or otherwise disposed of. Forewarned is forearmed, and those who at present are indiscriminately throwing poison about should in future be careful that they comply with the regulations. *** MR Justice Bailhache, speaking at the Legal Temperance Society, said that if anyone wanted to be converted to the cause of Temperance, the best thing would be to make him a judge, and in a few months he would find out how much crime was due to intemperance.

He was safe in saying that two-thirds of the crimes into which violence entered were directly traceable to drink. *** MORNINGTON V SOMERVILLE The above teams met for the first time this season at Mornington when there was a good attendance to witness the match. The weather was all that could be desired, and a good exhibition of football was witnessed. The home team had a strong combination on the field but Somerville were without the services of some of their leading players. In the first quarter, the home team came with a dash and very quickly notched two goals and three behinds, the visitors being only able to reply with 4 minor points. The second term was fairly even, though Mornington

scored 4.1 to Somerville’s 2.3. The half time scores were: Mornington 6.4 Somerville 2.7. The final scores were Mornington 7.9 to Somerville 5.11. *** FRANKSTON V TYABB A good muster of spectators assembled in the Frankston park on Saturday last when Tyabb visited here to try conclusions with the local club.

Umpire Whyte had charge of the game, but in many instances gave the players too much latitude. The day was an ideal one for football, and the ground was in perfect order. Harley captained the home team, while Slocombe had charge of the visiting team.

At the commencement of the game, Slocombe was awarded a free kick, and sent the ball well into Frankston’s territory. Smith and Harley, with the aid of Downs, soon relieved the back line, and the ball was taken well out of danger. Downs then collared and his kick resulted in a sixer being scored.

This was followed by a point soon afterwards. Longmuir and Slocombe rushed the ball away, and soon had Frankston backs hard at work. Millington was then given a penalty kick in front of goal, and raised both flags.

Harley relieved the situation, and a pass from Jackson to Wilson increased the home team’s score by a point.

Schmidt put in some nice work for the visitors, until Clements and Harley rushed the oval along, with the result of another minor out of a scrimmage.

The final scores were Frankston 10.13 (73 points) to Tyabb 4.4 (28 points).

Mornington News 20 May 2014

Is your child’s language development normal?

THE period from 12-24 months is an exciting time in your child’s development.

As parents we all want to see our child meet ‘milestones’ appropriately, but it is important to understand that – particularly in terms of speech and language development – this age has the widest span of what we consider ‘normal’.

Some 12 month olds have many words, others are still babbling.

Some 18 month olds can put two or three words together, others may have ten words in total. All are considered in the range of ‘normal’, so let’s go over what ‘normal’ actually means.

Receptive Language means comprehension – what your child understands. He or she should be able to follow simple instructions and answer simple questions. When you ask “Where’s teddy?” - they look around for teddy. should be able to follow simple instructions like “Get your shoes” or “Kick the ball” should point out common objects in books when you say them – like car or ball (although remember this can reflect individual interests – some might point out cars, while others will only point to sea animals).

Expressive Language means what your child says.

By 18 months, your child should have a minimum of five spoken words, but could have upwards of 50.

This is an average. Your child is

learning new words daily, sometimes they seem to learn 20 new words in one day, then not say a new word for a week.

It is normal for children to “lose” words, or not use them for a while.

It is not normal for a child to develop language then stop talking

or basically lose all words.

Your toddler will become more and more interested in books, able to sit for longer and participate by turning pages, pointing to named objects, or naming them themselves.

Milestones that occur around

this time include transitioning from single words to two word combinations. Your child’s speech may still be hard to understand but this is considered typical for age.

The 24 month old is starting to learn about relationships and recognise reactions in others. Time to

push the boundaries - you say no, and he does it anyway! Two year olds know what they want and are bossy. Many have attachments to favourite toys and enjoy playing near (rather than “with”) other children. When playing alone, you may hear them self-talk or narrate in play.

Language development can be promoted in a variety of simple ways; Slow down and get face to face. Slow both your rate of speech and general ‘rush’. Get on the floor, face to face so your child is able to watch your face and mouth as you communicate. Follow your child’s lead. It’s the old story about the wrapping and the toy at Christmas. The paper and ribbon win every time.

Learn how to read your child’s interests and build play around that. Listen with your eyes.

Watch you kids and be quiet.

Children communicate a lot without words, our busy lives mean we tend to miss these cues. Look expectant, wait for them to communicate with you rather than reading and responding to their intention before they’ve had a chance to say anything. Provide lots of communication opportunities. Don’t anticipate their needs and wants, wait for them to communicate with you.

Any concerns - speak to your doctor or speech pathologist.

By Megan Ingram, Principal Speech Pathologist at Peninsula Speech Pathology Services

It was a ground-breaking phenomenon when it first went to air 50 years ago, introducing live and local pop music for the first time. It hit television screens hot on the heels of the lifestyle shattering tour of The Beatles, creating the perfect vehicle for a stable of local teen stars and changing the lives of generations of baby boomers.

Opera Australia and John Frost, producers of the hit musical The King and I, are pleased to announce a partnership with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) that will see this lavish and opulent production deliver much needed funds to Australia’s preeminent child health research institute.

The King and I is providing 600 tickets to an exclusive dress rehearsal performance on Sunday June 8 at 6pm for which all proceeds are donated to this worthwhile charity. The funds collected from this performance will go towards research into conditions affecting children, such as allergies, diabetes and obesity, as well as finding answers to unsolved problems, such as cancer and genetic conditions.

The King and I was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s fifth musical together and is considered one of the jewels in their crown. It was based on Margaret Landon’s 1944 novel Anna and the King of Siam, which took its inspiration from the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, a British governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam (now Thailand) in the early 1860s.

The beautiful score includes the songs I Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You, Shall We Dance? and Hello, Young Lovers.

For the Melbourne season, four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune plays English governess Anna Leonowens opposite international stage and screen star Jason Scott Lee as the King.

Murdoch Children’s is Australia’s preeminent child health research institute, recognised globally for its child health discoveries. With over 1500 researchers, the Institute conducts vital research into conditions affecting babies, children and adolescents.

Our current research priorities include

read the newspaper? Or Billy Shorten at $13,000 for a table of 10 at a Labor fundraising dinner. How much for a sit alone table Billy? One thing I can guarantee, neither function will make mention of the Mornington Peninsula.

I shouldn’t complain, at least they come from Melbourne. Marta won out in the conclusion of Janet King as we knew she would, but why didn’t they dust Vince’s pen for fingerprints? I checked in on The Logies for 30 minutes and immediately copped two favourites in Steven Currie and Shane Jacobson co-presenting an award; being funny but not funny.

Caught an interview with real talents in Carrie Bickmore and Esse Davis, both deserving but came away empty.

As always in the best actor awards (Locky Hume?) one wonders who does the voting? Yawn. *** Our government is considering approving the hire of nannies from Indonesia and the Philippines. Six days a week, food, clothing and medical insurance, 2 weeks leave, return air fares and a weekly wage of $200. Sounds good to me. Must one have children? *** The adulation for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is widespread. Gushing from newsreaders and other commentators and the real joy on the faces of the many thousands who flock to catch a glimpse underline this happiness.

To this day I have no idea or connection to people who flock to see royal celebrities. I may well be missing out on something but I feel no loss.

Good luck to all those happy royal watchers.

*** Newlyweds across Australia to be given a $200 voucher for marriage counselling as part of a $20 million trial to strengthen relationships and avoid family breakdowns? “Having counselling before marriage helps us understand getting married will make changes to the fairytale love that is present at the beginning of a relationship. At the same time we can realise the love is still there regardless of changes; two people are committed to living together, and along with this come responsibilities of work, a mortgage, children, daily expenses.

All may affect the mood of either partner at various times”. Love is blind darlings. Always has been, always will be. I remember the priest (lovely chap) giving me the good oil over three two hourly meetings before marriage but I have no memory of his words, forgotten on my way to the car. *** You have to admire the Coalition tactics. They set up this tommyrot National Commission of Audit headed by Tony Shepherd and arrive at draconian suggestions, almost none of which will be acted upon, but indeed softening the groundwork for the budget (bad cop/ good cop) and in the process adding brainwashing (alarmist rhetoric) for followers of the former triple A Labor Government. *** As I see it we are not in a financial crisis

A Grain of Salt WRITERS abound these days, easier via a computer, stolen and re-written, learned and ignorant alike. To get themselves a name, bewitched with fame and honour?

Many pretend public good, more likely pride and vanity. Some, like me, to show they are still alive.

“Skim off the cream of other people’s wits, pick the choice flowers of the tilled gardens to set out their own sterile plots” or “lard their lean books with the fat of others’ works” Self publish even?

Oh my God, May already, seven long years since I began writing this column.... *** How about our state budget? Denis the menace in action. Lots of money for Frankston High School, next to nothing for the TAFE debacle.

Here’s me thinking the major public concerns are health and hospitals, but no, it’s a train line to Melbourne Airport which, due to my age (sadly) I’ll never see.

Shades of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

Oh well, there’s always the widening of the Skybus route, and Danny Boy Andrews will soften the trip to Melbourne by eliminating those level crossings, assuming I can afford car rego. *** I don’t get it. $3000 for lunch and access to Joe Hockey and his mates. Why not go buy some fish and chips and

*** Telstra advises people with 4G coverage is the only choice for “people who are going places” but that’s as ridiculous as it sounds.

Technological changes (advances?) in such a short span of years. What of the experts predictions? An education revolution? Human nature, as in laziness, bullying, stalking, stupidity, pornography, dirty tricks, crime and corruption survive and wars do not disappear.

The big three, money, sex and power ever present. I see big business and governments having more power, thus many more have-nots and fewer haves.

Privacy may disappear for the vast majority; ASIO almost insignificant alongside the likes of Google and Facebook.

Fortunately we live in hope; no other choice.

Enjoy the day. A Collingwood victory helps. *** Have we got any other actors? Marta Dusseldorp, Vince Colosimo, Shane Jacobson.

Thousands of other performers, some arguably better, but no. Every time I turn the box on there they are.

and haven’t been for years, nor according to the ABS is there any imminent threat of one. Joe exaggerates if you care to examine his pronouncements.

No big deal, but surely the lack of intelligent response from Billy Shorten is enough to cause concern? It’s like football Billy Boy. You let a team get a run on and the game is almost over.

The empire of rhyme strikes back

By Stuart McCullough MY nephew Jake had a problem. As a thoughtful and considerate uncle, it was only natural that I should help.

His football team was assigning nicknames – apparently, such things no longer occur spontaneously – and he got lumbered with ‘Beefy’. This is not a reference to his physical dimensions (he’s as lean as a whippet) but rather to his surname: Cowburn.

We both rued an opportunity lost.

Using the logic adopted by his teammates could easily have resulted in an awesome nickname, like ‘T-Bone’, ‘Lord Bovine’ or ‘The Burger King’.

Even ‘Beef Pattie Newton’ has a certain charm. Given the names inflicted on some of the other players though, my nephew got off lightly. Suffice to say that one of the larger kids got saddled with the irretrievably unflattering, The Wall with Eyes.

Instantly, I knew what I had to do.

As his uncle, I needed to immediately conjure up a new nickname for Jake – one imbued with just the right balance of mystery and danger. One as unlike Beefy as was humanly possibly without resorting to Klingon.

“From this moment,” I solemnly declared, “you shall be known as Nighthawk”. It sounded and felt right.

My nephew was happy. All was well.

That is, until he decided to reciprocate.

“From this moment on, you shall be known as Not-So-Slim Shady.”

I could only recoil in horror. Or, possibly, challenge the cheeky beggar to a rap battle.

It’s true that no good deed should go unpunished. So while Nighthawk

will now be the envy of his peers, particularly The Wall with Eyes, I am left to wrestle with the indignity that is being the Unreal Slim Shady.

That’s not to say that my nephew doesn’t have a point. It’s a proven scientific fact that my rhyming skills are highly advanced and that, for a brief time, I considered becoming a full time rapper. But, truth be told, while there are some obvious benefits

to being a rapper, there are some substantial downsides too. While a career in rap is a virtual license to wear a tracksuit at all times, you run the risk of being gunned down in a drive by.

Or having another rapper make fun of you in a song, thus necessitating some kind of musical retaliation. It seems like a lot of trouble.

That said, rappers have the best names. These aren’t assigned at birth

May edition out now!

PEARLMAG.COM.AU PAGE 48

Mornington News 20 May 2014

but created by the artists themselves.

Grandmaster Flash was born Joseph Saddler, Kurtis Blow was Kurt Walker and the inestimable Snoop Doggy Dogg is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr to his mum. Taking a new name is an act of self-creation, one in which the artist fabricates a mythology while simultaneously ‘keeping it real’. It’s one of many contradictions that are an inherent part of the hip-hop universe of which I am now a part. This is to be contrasted with the world of singers who, more often than not, accept the name they’re given.

Suffice to say, Celine Dion has and will always be Celine Dion, rather than, say, MC Lungbuster.

As Not-So-Slim Shady, I have to acknowledge that my new nomenclature is merely a rip-off of somebody else’s alter ego. The Real Slim Shady is better known as the rapper, Eminem. In turn, the name Eminem was derived from his actual name, Marshall Mathers. As Marshall Mathers is to Eminem, by rights, I really ought to be S and M (albeit spelled as ‘Esinem’). For a range of reasons that require little in the way of imagination, this should be strenuously avoided at all costs.

Since being bequeathed my name, I have made some changes. Already I have requested new business cards.

I have updated my ‘LinkedIn’ profile to include freestyle rapping as one of my skills. Next week, I’ll include break-dancing too, as soon as I’ve remastered the art of the backspin. I no longer shake hands. Instead, I greet people using a series of elaborate

hip-hop gestures. In fact, being christened Not-So-Slim Shady has been liberating. For years I have wanted to bust out an avalanche of rhyme but the ideal moment never presented itself. The right moment to pump up the jams never does when your name is Stuart. But for Not-So-Slim Shady, every conversation is just another chance to pummel my opponent with a cavalcade of syllables as I dazzle people with my flow. But aside from bringing the rhyme and wearing tracksuits, there’s one thing that rappers prize above all else: revenge.

On Sunday, Nighthawk will take to the field with his football team.

Doubtless, The Wall with Eyes will be there. But it’s no ordinary match.

Jake/Nighthawk will be playing his one hundredth game. At first, I thought about sabotaging the banner, perhaps deliberately misspelling his name. My nephew would be disappointed to have to run through a banner that read, ‘WELL DONE JACK’.

But that would be petty.

I have another idea. Luckily, I still have my old drum machine – Dr Rhythm – and tracksuit pants. When the half-time siren sounds, I will race out to the centre of the ground and start bringing the rhyme. It will be a kind of tribute to my nephew with plenty of profanities thrown in to keep the umpires on their toes. It seems the least I can do after being given a new lease on life as Not-SoSlim Shady. Well done Jack, Jake, Nighthawk. Enjoy the rhyme-fest.

MORNINGTON NEWS

scoreboard Stonecats flex their muscles PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW flexed its muscles on Saturday and once again highlighted that it is the measuring stick in Peninsula League, thrashing Edithvale-Aspendale.

Heading to the home of the reigning premier has become a frightful experience for most clubs in the past couple of seasons, however it held no fears for the Stonecats on Saturday.

YCW led at every change, extended their lead throughout and finished with a ten goal to three hammering in the last 30 minutes, winning 22.20-152 to 9.11-65.

The Eagles can thank their lucky stars that the visitors struggled for accuracy in front of goal. With 42 scoring shots to 20, the margin should have been closer to 100 points.

The game was marred by injury with the Eagles hit worst.

Mark Mullins appeared to break his hand, forward recruit Jarrod Garth pinged a hamstring, Beau and Tom Turner both appeared to injure themselves and ‘man-mountain’ ruckman Markham Johnston looked as though he tweaked an ankle.

It was a shame for the Eagles, who appeared to have their best side for the year with Tim Mannix and Tim Mavric both included.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Stonecats either with Anthony Totaro appearing to rupture his ACL. He broke his arm last year.

Ben Tellis was unbelievable for the winners on Saturday with six goals.

Kevin Lylak had the ball on a string and Lachy Wallace was freed from Collingwood VFL duties once again and finished with three goals.

Steve Mannix and Craig Wray were the best of the Eagles, while Brad Tagg also worked hard.

Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers said it was good day at the office on Saturday.

“Other than the injuries, it was a terrific day for us,” said Scott.

“We had our best side in for the year and we headed to Edithvale quietly confident that we could do well.

“They lost a few players early and then again in the third quarter, which really helped us to dominate the last

quarter like we did.”

Mathers said Totaro was a big loss to the team.

“Anthony was playing a key defensive role for us and was getting better each week. On Saturday we gave him the job on Garth,” he said.

“This allowed us to use Carroll (Dale) up forward, which we have been wanting to do for some time.

“It’s a shame to see him go down.

He hasn’t had a lot of luck with injury.”

Langwarrin goes into the first break of the season with a five-one win-loss record after controlling the match for four quarters against Seaford.

Other than the Tigers kicking the last two goals of the third quarter and the first major in the last term, Langwarrin was in command for the remainder of the match, winning 14.18-102 to 12.9-81.

Kangas coach Gavin Artico said while “it was great to come away with the four points”, he still believed his side was far from its best.

“To be honest, I still don’t believe the message is getting through to them. In saying that, we are six weeks into the season, we’ve lost on one game by less than a kick against last season’s grand finalists and we are yet to put our best team on the paddock,” said Artico.

“I do expect a lot from the teams that I coach. We have plans for the opposition for a reason but sometimes we just aren’t playing to instruction.

“I am seeing improvements in the team every week and there is no doubt a lot of individual improvement is going on.

“As we get closer to getting our best team on the park, hopefully we start playing some of our best footy for longer periods.”

On Saturday, Liam Hogan continued his great form after crossing from Dromana, while Dan Wehner and Andrew Withers are playing fantastic footy. Kieran Albanese kicked his first goal in senior football and Jake Smith was in for his first game of the season and finished with two majors.

For the Tigers, Tommy Shaw booted four goals and Aaron Walton was among the best.

Mornington is well placed at the bye having thrashed Chelsea by al-

most ten goals, 18.14-122 to 9.13-67.

Jackson Calder was at his best with five goals for the winners while Anthony Simpson continued to dominate the 2014 season.

Top of the mountain for Hillmen NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED HILL has claimed top spot on the Nepean League ladder after leading all day to beat Crib Point.

In the battle for top spot, Red Hill jumped out of the blocks and led at every change, eventually winning 14.8-92 to 10.13-73.

The Hillmen dethroned the Magpies at the top of the ladder, led by Marcus Dal Lago and YCW recruit Paul Wintle.

In attack, Red Hill continues to get maximum benefit from Jarrod Eames, who finished with four goals, while Ben Maguiness (three majors) is getting forward and contributing on the scoreboard, something that is new to his game.

Matt Hyden played his best game for the Hillmen since crossing from Ballarat in the off-season and Michael Mock is delivering on a consistent basis.

The visitors got as much as six goals up during the second quarter, however, as it has done often this season, the Magpies never threw the cue in the rack.

The Pies couldn’t get closer than three goals though.

Luke Herrington and Dean Warry

were outstanding for the black and white while Glenn Boyd was dominant again in attack with four goals.

Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said he knew Crib Point would come at them.

“Their form suggests that they are fit and play the game right to the final siren,” said Blackford.

“We knew that to beat a good side like Crib Point, we had to play 100 minutes of football. We saw against Rye what can happen if you drop off.”

Blackford said he was happy where his team was at heading into the bye.

“If I had of told you we would be on top of the ladder with just one loss after six rounds, I’m sure you would have said we were getting ahead of ourselves,” said Blackford.

“We added some very good players to a talented list during the off-season and we knew that if we could bring our best to the table each week, we would be competitive against every side.

“We’ve learned some valuable lessons along the way. However, we are only six games in and there’s a lot of football still to be played,” he said.

Frankston Bombers went very close to causing the upset of the season, going down to Sorrento by just nine points, 9.9-63 to 10.14-74.

It took a last quarter onslaught from

the Sharks to get over the line after trailing the Bombers at every change.

The home side led Sorrento by 16 points at quarter time, ten points at half time and by eight points at the last change.

However, the likes of Jonny Casper, Trevor Mattison and Leigh Poholke with five goals really stood up for the Sharks in the final term and they were able to boot 5.2 to 2.1 to grab victory.

Once again, despite being in a winnable position, the Bombers were unable to hold off a fast finishing opposition (it happened against Hastings on Anzac Day).

Jay Reynolds with three goals was again outstanding for the Bombers, while Jason Bedford was back and at his best. Ryan Marks-Logan was also a four quarter contributor for the Bombers.

Dromana and Pearcedale went on a goal feast on Saturday, booting 46 between them.

Anthony Bruhn booted eight for the Tigers, while Steve Gaertner booted five and Daniel Waddell four in their 31.15-201 to 15.12-102 victory.

It’s amazing to think that the Panthers booted 15 goals and still went down by 99 points.

Basil Sibosado was again outstanding for the Panthers with four goals

while Ben Cadd and Dylan Hoare led from the front.

Hastings, despite missing a handful of their best players, proved too strong for Devon Meadows.

The Blues led at every change with Steve Robb carrying on his reserves domination with four goals.

The Blues extended their lead at every break, winning 16.10-106 to 6.9-45.

Daniel Wishart is playing inspired football at the moment and he is almost unstoppable when he is at his best. Colin McVeigh is another who is at the top of his game and Luke Hewitt was outstanding with four goals.

Devon Meadows booted just two goals in the second half and didn’t kick a goal in the third quarter.

Despite being extremely active in the off season with recruits, Devon is really disappointing.

James Bow booted four to be a highlight and Jesse Dehey was back to his best, along with Gavin Kerr.

Rye was able to hold off a fast finishing Somerville in their match at the nest, winning a thriller, 15.14-104 to 15.8-98.

It was a really important game for both clubs, the win launching the winner into the top five at the first interval of the season.

Ben Holmes was back for the Demons and was probably the difference between the sides in the end, booting five goals.

Aaron Findlay continued his purple patch, finishing with four majors and Rhett Sutton dominated in the ruck after a spell with injury.

Rye is starting to get its best side out on the park and will be close to full strength after the bye, including possibly Ryan Semmell, who is currently in the Foxtel Reality TV show, the Rookie.

Callan Dixon was electric for the Eagles, David Hirst booted four goals and Travis Bravo and Leigh Stewart were excellent over four quarters.

Rosebud did what it needed to do and that was to beat Tyabb comfortably.

The Yabbies still managed to score, however, finishing with nine goals.

Rosebud booted 27.

Keegan Downie played the match of his life with eight goals for the Buds while Tom Baker and Ben Dwyer each finished with five goals. Greg Bentley was outstanding once again.

Shane Waterstone and Ethan Rahilly were the best of the Yabbies, while Jake Anderson was also among the votes with two goals.

Five point heartbreak for Dolphins VFL

By Paul Kennedy THE Frankston Dolphins suffered a heart-breaking five-point defeat at the hands of North Ballarat on Sunday.

On a windy Ballarat day the Dolphins started full of run and pressure, on-ballers Leigh Kitchin and Shane Hockey in everything to give their team a 4.2 to 1.2 lead at the first break.

But the 30 minutes that followed ultimately cost the visitors the game, North Ballarat running unmolested

PAGE 52

Mornington News 20 May 2014

through the middle of the ground as they piled on five goals to none to move 12 points clear at the long break.

When the Roosters opened the third stanza with two quick goals it appeared a blowout was on the cards, but Frankston found another gear, matching North Ballarat’s intensity at the ball to keep the deficit to 19 points at three-quarter-time.

Inspirational ruckman Russ Gabriel then took over the game, continuing his aerial domination of North Melbourne’s Eric Wallace, Gabriel was a man possessed at ground level

too as he repeatedly sent the Dolphins forward.

Fellow big man Khan Haretuku also stepped up, booting three quick goals to breathe life into the visitors’ charge.

Around the ground it was all Frankston, Hockey and Ben Cavarra running like it was the first quarter, and when Shannon Taylor slotted a clever running goal at the 20-minute mark the Dolphins were in front.

A desperate final few minutes ensued with both teams trading goals, but it was the Roosters with their noses ahead when the siren sounded.

We’re local too!
