A preview to the opening sequel IT might have seemed a bit premature, but Ports Minister Luke Donnellan was at Mornington pier on Thursday to announce that it will be officially opened in a couple of weeks.

That event will be a more public affair with a barbecue and “community celebration” being hosted by Parks Victoria.

The $19 million project is the result of funding from both sides of politics, with the time taken to complete it stradling the terms of Labor and Liberalled governments.

It’s taken five years, with setbacks attributed to both natural causes (storms) and money shortages.

But those troubles were far from the minds of Mr Donnellan and other VIPs when they walked the newly laid planks of the pier.

See “Snags will sizzle for new pier” on Page 3.

Charges follow house, bin fires Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MORNINGTON man has been charged with five counts of arson and one count of conduct endangering life after a house fire and fires in three lots of rubbish bins.

The man, 38, is alleged to have set fire to a house in Moorina Court, Mornington, as well as bins outside the Currawong Community Centre, in Gil-

ga St, Mornington and at Officeworks at the Peninsula Homemaker Centre.

A man and a woman managed to escape from the house fire and their children were staying overnight elsewhere.

However, one of the family’s two pet dogs died in the blaze.

The man arrested by police was remanded at Mornington overnight Thursday and appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court for a committal mention hearing on Friday. He is expected to face Melbourne Magistrates’

Court in October.

Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Mornington police, said police would push for the man to be held in custody until his court appearance.

The arrest of the man three days after the fires followed clothing and a bicycle being matched with images taken by surveillance cameras.

Fire razed the Moorina Court house early on Saturday 19 July – one of 13 callouts for fire crews between 6pm Friday and 8am Saturday.

Station officer Simon Mildren, of Mornington Fire Brigade, said a couple’s dog died in the blaze at 4.40am which destroyed the single storey brick veneer house.

The occupants, a man and a woman, escaped serious injury but the woman was taken to Frankston Hospital with smoke inhalation and discharged next morning.

The fire was reported as a garage fire but turned out to be more serious.

“We could see it from a long way

away,” station officer Mildren said.

“The house was 50 per cent involved when we arrived but added complexity was caused by fallen power lines in the front yard and a high fuel load surrounding the house. These issues made fighting the fire more difficult."

Crews came from Mt Martha, Mt Eliza, Frankston and Bayswater to fight the fire which took 45 minutes to control.

It is believed a smoke alarm alerted the occupants.

Snags will sizzle for new pier Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON pier’s new outer section will open on Saturday week, Ports Minister Luke Donnellan announced last Thursday when he visited the town’s iconic structure with members of the Parks Victoria board.

Parks Victoria will hold a “community celebration” at 10am on Saturday 8 August that will include a free sausage sizzle and other activities.

The opening will end a multi-stage construction project that started in 2010 under the Brumby Labor government, continued under the LiberalNationals Coalition government and is being opened by the Andrews Labor government.

The outer section has cost $15.3 million and the middle part $3.6 million for a total of almost $19 million.

Between 2010 and 2011, Parks Victoria contractors replaced the middle, 53-metre long part of the pier, a version of which has existed since 1857 when the town was still called Schnapper Point.

Labor did not have the cash for the outer section, which was closed in August 2010 after a series of storms damaged pylons and dislodged top deck planks.

In May 2012 the Baillieu Coalition government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer section.

Work to replace the section started in early 2014. On Thursday, workmen in dinghies under the pier were putting the finishes touches to concrete pylons, wrapping them in high-density plastic.

Mr Donnellan said the project included demolition of the outer section and more than 100 piles driven into the seabed to

Labor and Liberal governments have put almost $19 million into rebuilding the structure over five years. Picture: Yanni

Work moves to forecourt RENOVATION of the pier forecourt will start soon after the pier is completed.

Work will include re-laying the cobblestone area, improving the layout of the parking area, upgrading services such as water and power, and new seats, lights and historical information signs. This will not restrict public access to the pier.

It will cost more than $800,000, $365,000 from the state government, $250,000 from Mornington Peninsula Shire, and the balance from Parks Victoria.

It is designed to improve traffic flow, car parking, and pedestrian and boat ramp access but it will not solve the long-term problem of busy days – lack of parking.

Contractors will level the area between the pier and the yacht club, and there will be a roundabout at the harbour end of Schnapper Point Drive to enable cars and buses to turn more easily. Other items will include bollards, trees and shrubs.

Mike Hast

support a new 75-metre reinforced concrete platform and timber deck.

The outer section has new timber decking, handrails with LED lights, seats and overhead lights.

Other elements include wave screens to protect the harbour and a harbourside lower landing that was completed earlier this year to enable people on the cruise ship Pacific Pearl to disembark from launches.

Mr Donnellan said more than two million people visited the pier each year. “This project is good for locals,

good for visitors, good for the tourism industry and it’s fantastic to mark its completion,” he said.

The project was also praised by Parks Victoria acting CEO Chris Rowe, PV’s board chairman Andrew Fairley, and Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb.

During an inspection of the pier, Victor Teoh, Parks Victoria’s senior manager of local ports and waterways, said bad weather and a six-week delay getting steel piles from China because of Chinese New Year had meant the

project would finish in August rather than June.

He said the pier was half-concrete and half-steel with the outside concrete part designed to withstand storms. It pier was 131 metres long but had been extended and was now 137 metres.

The concrete came from Hastings, the wavescreens and handrails from Geelong, and the timber deck is plantation spotted gum from Queensland.  For more information about the opening or the pier, call 13 1963 or visit www.parks.vic.gov.au

Welfare services hit by ‘unacceptable’ cuts Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FUNDING cuts to emergency relief services have hit the Mornington Peninsula region hard.

Managers of community support and information centres say they are struggling to provide for the increasing food, clothing and welfare demands across the peninsula.

Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington support and information centres are usually the first point of contact for those in dire need in the local community.

They provide food vouchers, food parcels, assist with payments, provide advocacy and budgeting assistance and, generally, work in the best interests of those struggling.

But the welfare services are reeling from Department of Social Services funding cuts which stripped the region of more than $85,000 in emergency relief funding this financial year.

“These cuts are unacceptable given that many residents accessing the support and information centres are living on, or below, the poverty line,” Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre manager Jackie Currie said.

“Many residents who are on fixed and low incomes have also experienced a reduction to their Centrelink payments recently through pension reforms.

“They are paying high rental and utility costs together with the ever increasing costs of day to day living expenses, such as food and fresh produce, education expenditure, essential medications and fuel.”

She said the department had also removed funding for intensive case management services to residents in crisis. The three support and information centres have vowed to continue these vital case management services despite the funding cuts.

“The emergency relief program is fantastic in helping those in crisis manage their immediate needs,” said Ms Currie, who is based at Rosebud.

“However, the case management program enables people to achieve real sustainable change, getting them out of the ‘crisis cycle’ all together.

“While we are doing everything we can to be innovative, these funding cuts simply mean we will have to deliver less and the most vulnerable in our community will suffer.”

Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott said: “We have been incredibly hard hit and now have to look to our community to help fund these programs.”

Westernport Community Support manager John Fraser – based at Hastings – said: “The reduction in emergency relief funding is extremely disappointing.

“The information and support centres provide one of the few safety nets available to the marginalised, vulnerable and financially challenged members of the community.

“One of their main roles is to assist those who are most at risk and who are experiencing a shortterm crisis.”

Centre evacuated MORNINGTON Village shopping centre was evacuated on Saturday afternoon 18 July when fumes from concrete paint sealer made shoppers nauseous.

“Patrons were complaining and when the CFA took readings they were off the scale,” Sergeant Danny Lean, of Rosebud police, said.

About 150 customers and staff retreated to the carpark and the centre remained shut from 4.30pm Saturday to 7.30am Sunday.

Bomb hoax POLICE were called to what turned out to be a bomb hoax in Hyperno Way, Mt Martha, on Saturday afternoon 18 July.

Police said three children had left a note saying, “There is a bomb under your car” on a resident’s front door.

Nothing was found, but police were obliged to treat the incident seriously and asked residents to move to a safe area.

Police have contacted local schools to identify the culprits. Anyone with information can call Mornington police on 5970 4900.

Devotees heading back to ashram Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au DESPITE the appointment of receivers, police investigations into alleged sexual assaults and back room negotiations to avoid action under civil law, devotees are again attending Saturday night assemblies at the former headquarters of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga at Mt Eliza.

The Tower Rd property was not listed as being part of the organisation’s assets when liquidators Worrells Solvency & Forensic Accountants were appointed in April.

As well as facing the possible sale of three residential properties in streets near to the Tower Rd ashram, Shiva Yoga Inc is also the subject of possible action by lawyer Angela Sdrinis.

Another blow to the organisation may also come in the form of a reassessment of the tax free status it has enjoyed since being given the all clear

by Australian Charities and Not-forprofits Commission (ACNC). “Where there is evidence of serious mismanagement or misappropriation, a persistent or deliberate breach of the ACNC Act, or where vulnerable people or significant charitable assets are at risk, the ACNC will act firmly and quickly,� a spokesperson for the ACNC said last week. “Where appropriate the ACNC will revoke a charity’s status – taking away access to Commonwealth charity tax concessions, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Office.�

Although unable to comment on specific cases, the spokesperson said

Temple sounds: Members of the Mt Eliza ashram, including leaders Russell Kruckman (also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji) and Devi Ma were at the Shiva Vishnu temple in Carrum Downs in June for chanting and a performance

by Melbourne-based “spiritual/world� band Sky of the Heart.

Source: Facebook

the revocation of tax-free status could be backdated to 3 December 2012.

Financial statements for the year ended June 2014 of the tax-exempt Shiva Yoga Inc show $1.38m has been spent improving the ashram building and lists Swami Shankarananda as having loaned the organisation $373,508.

The statements show “retained earnings� of $2.9m.

The ATO has granted Shiva Yoga Inc a tax concession, GST concession, FBT rebate and income tax exemption.

A former member of the ashram has previously told The News that when filling out an application form seek-

ing tax exemption “we all looked at each other when it came to filling out the marked religion, and then someone said Hindu, so that’s what we put�.

St Kilda lawyer Ms Sdrinis told The News last week that she had spoken with about 20 men and women formally associated with the ashram over “a variety of issues�, including alleged sexual impropriety by the school’s spiritual leader Russell Kruckman; unpaid wages; taxation issues; whether “people were volunteers or employees�; donations; and donated works.

Ms Sdrinis said she was specifically dealing with allegations by several

women of sexual misconduct by Mr Kruckman, who is also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji. “We are trying to settle out of court.�

Allegations of sexual assault by Mr Kruckman also continue to be investigated by the Seaford-based SOCIT (Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Teams).

Ms Sdrinis said while she had not spoken with police “the liquidators have been good to deal with�.

In December 2014, Mr Kruckman and the school stunned ashram devotees by issuing statements which in effect admitted he had engaged in “se-

cret sexual relations with a number of women from the ashram community�.

The ensuing shockwaves led to a plummeting of the numbers attending the Saturday night assemblies, or Satsangs, and Mr Kruckman standing down as the school’s spiritual leader.

The assemblies were moved private homes earlier this year, but are now being held at the Tower Rd ashram which is owned by Mr Kruckman and not Shiva Yoga Inc. While up to 350 people would attend these weekly assemblies before the scandal broke in late 2014, it appears numbers are now down to about 70.

As previously reported by The News, liquidator Paul Burness said Shiva Yoga owned three properties near the ashram, two in Petrel Ave and one in Clarendon Close.

They are collectively valued at just under $3 million; one has a mortgage.

The most valuable property connected to the yoga school, the ashram in Tower Rd, is owned by Mr Kruckman (Swami Shankarananda) and is not subject to the liquidation.

Mr Burness said Swami Shankarananda had placed caveats dated 22 April 2015 on the titles on one of Shiva Yoga’ Petrel Ave properties and the one in Clarendon Close.

A further caveat had been lodged on the title of the Tower Rd property by Shiva Meditation Inc in 2005.

The News has been unable to contact the ashram for comment. An email sent to spokesman Stephen Stanford was answered by a Vani Hudson who said: “All enquiries regarding Shiva Yoga should be directed to [the liquidator] Paul Burness of Worrells�.

Melanoma ‘a reality, not a scare’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Skin Cancer Centre’s Dr Sally Shaw is worked up about what she calls “the misrepresentation of melanoma in the news”, especially regarding the recent return to football of Hawthorn forward Jarryd Roughead.

“Melanoma is not a cancer scare, it’s a cancer reality, and Roughead continues to be at high risk of advanced melanoma,” she said. “The term cancer scare should be reserved for when a mole is thought to be melanoma but comes back benign.

“Having prominent sportsmen as Roughead, Jack Riewoldt, Tom Hafey and Jim Stynes all diagnosed with melanoma, yet having their conditions reported in the media as a brush with skin cancer, a skin cancer scare, cancer health scare or a cancer shock, is down playing the significance of having a melanoma diagnosis and the continued risk of advanced disease.”

Dr Shaw has clinics in Frankston and Mornington, is a founding member of the Australasian College of Skin Cancer Medicine and has been instrumental in establishing standards for skin cancer practitioners throughout Australia.

“The diagnosis of melanoma, especially advanced melanomas, is watered down to a cancer scare or shock to make the news more palatable for the public,” she said.

She believes that because melanoma is associated with sun exposure, beaches and outdoor living, there is a fear that reporting it will tarnish the

iconic Australian way of life.

“We are missing the opportunity to bring up the seriousness of a melanoma diagnosis, especially in young Australians and about the importance of protecting our skin from the sun.”

Melanoma is the most common cancer for 14-44 year olds, with one person dying from melanoma every six hours.

“A diagnosis of melanoma is a very serious result,” Dr Shaw said. “More than 1500 Australians die from melanoma each year. While most melanoma patients, around 80 per cent, will never have metastases, melanoma patients need to be vigilant for any

signs of advanced melanoma for the rest of their lives.

“They will need to have regular mole mapping or skin checks every few months for the first couple of years and then every 12 months after that.”

Dr Shaw bemoaned “the reluctance of the media to report Hafey’s and Stynes’ advanced melanomas as non-specific cancers, which meant we missed a great opportunity to pass on the very important message of how dangerous melanoma can be to a large Australian sporting audience”.

“We should all have full body skin checks every year and protect our skin from UV all year round.”

CEO details shire shake-up, jobs Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE organisational shake-up of Mornington Peninsula Shire continues with nine staff being made redundant just days before CEO Carl Cowie unveiled more “new arrangements”.

Mr Cowie says the changes to staffing levels and the organisational structure will “deliver enhanced service to the community”.

In a statement issued on Thursday Mr Cowie said he had identified a number of changes “to better align shire operations and deliver efficiencies and savings”.

The mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said councillors were “supportive of Mr Cowie’s work on identifying efficiencies, streamlining processes and most importantly, all aspects of customer service”.

Mr Cowie took over the shire’s top job in December last year, succeeding Michael Kennedy who had been CEO for nearly 15 years.

Under the Local Government Act Mr Cowie has one year within which he can make interim appointments.

New senior appointments made by Mr Cowie are interim chief financial officer Matthew Hubbard, interim financial controller Bulent Oz and interim buildings and facilities manager Craig Humphries.

Positions to be “removed from the organisation” include director of environment, manager of environment protection and community safety.

When Mr Cowie took over the shire had a full time equivalent staff of 663 and he says there is “no target for staff reductions or final staff numbers”.

“Since my appointment I have spent a lot of time meeting with members of the community and others in the local government sector looking at how we can be the best, most efficient organisation possible,” he said.

“As a result, I have identified a number of opportunities to better align operational activities which will deliver significant efficiency gains and tangible cost reductions.”

With 19 positions already made redundant and new people hired, Mr Cowie has warned his proposed “new arrangements” will “impact on a number of existing positions”.

The latest round of redundancies has seen the shire’s recreation and leisure department cut from 12 to three.

Mr Cowie said he will consult with the shire’s employee consultative committee and unions.

“Impacted staff will be supported through career transition programs,” Mr Cowie said.

“As a result of the new arrangements, a number of existing positions will be impacted and we are following all the appropriate steps to consult and engage with those affected staff,” Mr Cowie said.

“There will be some opportunities for redeployment, but ultimately a number of existing positions will no longer be required under the proposed new, streamlined arrangements.”

Changes foreshadowed by Mr Cowie include:  A closer alignment between the shire’s planning and infrastructure activities;  A stronger focus on planning and building compliance activities, separating it from overseeing environment health and domestic animals legislation; and  Forming a buildings and facilities unit to streamline the management of community buildings and facilities.

The community events team will join the economic development unit, while recreation planning will be added to the infrastructure strategy and project delivery teams.

The new buildings and facilities unit will run Pelican Park and Crib Point aquatic centres, Civic Reserve and Somerville recreation centres, Mt Martha Golf Course and Hastings Hub; foreshore camping and community halls.

Fair weather for old salts MORNINGTON Yacht Club has delved into the past to begin celebrations for its 70th anniversary in February. In the search for historical information, it was fortunate in being able to locate several old salts who were sailing at the club from its inception in 1946 and well into the 1950s.

The four enjoyed a lunch at the club last week – the first time they had got together in 50 years.

It was described as an intriguing time for the sailors who were obviously excited at meeting old sailing friends, having a chat, a laugh, and recollecting many old sailing stories.

Commodore Graeme Alexander thanked the elderly sailors for attending and presented each with mementos of the day. He invited them to

attend the club’s 70th anniversary celebrations in February when their photographs would “take pride of place” in the club’s display.

The club formally began in 1946 under first commodore H Kinnear. Sailing and water activities were popular from the start, with the club and Schnapper Point holding a prominent place in the town’s history.

The history committee is seeking pictorial memorabilia, or information about the club’s history and its surroundings, including the club house, pier, storms, baths and beaches and, of course, yachts and fishing boats.

Justices adjourn to consider O’Toole appeal Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au MORE than two years after the brutal murder of Hastings jeweller Dermot O’Toole, the appeal has been heard against the leniency of the 20-year murder sentence handed down to killer Gavin Perry.

The hearing, on Monday 20 July, was heard in front of three justices at the Court of Appeal.

The majority of the hearing involved often complex legal arguments revolving around the categorisation of the murder as a statutory one rather than a common law murder.

Gavin Perry’s legal counsel also argued over the five year sentences for the two other armed robberies he had committed prior to the murder.

Early in the hearing, counsel for the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) told the presiding justices that the family wanted them to watch the CCTV footage of the incident to get an understanding as to the ferocity of the attack.

One of the justices replied: “This appeal is not run by the family�.

In fact, there was very little discussion at all of the specifics of the crimes or their lasting impact on the O’Tooles.

During the proceedings, the justices asked counsel for the DPP why they had appealed the leniency of the sentence, after downgrading the charge in the initial trial from common law murder to the less serious statutory murder. “Pragmatism,� replied the counsel. “To avoid a trial and to end up with a

charge that carried the same maximum penalty.�

The maximum penalty for both statutory and common law murder is life, and it appeared that the DPP had hoped the downgrade would not affect the sentence.

It is an unwritten assumption in the legal fraternity that statutory murder is

considered a lesser charge than common law murder as intent to kill does not have to be proven.

The justices argued that by allowing a statutory murder charge Justice Hollingsworth had, in the original trial, been given a set or parameters to sentence within.

They also noted that it was not the

role of the appeal court to move beyond those parameters. “Sentencing decisions are for sentencing judges,� the justices said. “Our role is to see if the judge went beyond the parameters.�

The justices asked why the prosecution believed the murder sentence should have been more than 20 years

considering it did not appear premeditated.

It was argued that Perry was on parole at the time, that he was high on ice, and that the murder was committed during an armed robbery. All these factors, the DPP believed, should be taken into account.

The justices also noted that a 20year sentence was the highest statutory murder sentence ever handed down in the state of Victoria.

In adjourning to consider their decision, the justices addressed the family of Dermot O’Toole in the courtroom. “We understand that the family have an intense interest in the outcome of this appeal. “We want to point out that sentencing parameters were fixed due to a plea of guilty to statutory murder i.e. unintentional killing. “There has always been different sentencing for unintentional as opposed to intentional killing�.

Finally, before adjourning, the justices agreed to view the CCTV footage as the family had wished.

The O’Toole family may now have a considerable wait until the Court of Appeal’s verdict is handed down.

They remain hopeful that they will get justice for Dermot. The only barrier in their way appears to be the original decision to downgrade the charge from common law murder to statutory murder in exchange for a guilty plea.

In an attempt to expedite justice for the O’Tooles and avoid the stress and turmoil of a trial on the family, the DPP may end up inadvertently depriving them of the justice they deserve.

Prized racehorse shot dead Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE callous early morning shooting death of a prized retired racehorse in Myers Rd, Balnarring, has “devastated” its owners and sent shockwaves through Mornington Peninsula’s racing community.

Police and the mare’s owner are puzzled by the killing, but have not ruled out it being “industry based” or a case of mistaken identity.

Stud farm owner Tony Biddle said the 14-year-old brood mare Arriere was “shot between the eyes” by a high powered rifle from about six metres away early on Saturday 18 July.

Mr Biddle said on Monday he heard the shot at about 1.30am but did not realise its significance.

He checked the area around the homestead but assumed it was a car backfiring near his farm, which was established in 1996.

The farm is believed to be home for bloodstock valued at $2 million or more.

“Someone’s got a grudge against her or us. To kill a racehorse is just not on,” Mr Biddle said Monday.

The $100,000 horse – by Kashani (USA) from Hidden Depths (NZ) – was with other brood mares in a front paddock being readied for breeding.

“I don’t think anyone hates us, but I’ve got a few ideas and the police have a few ideas,” Mr Biddle said.

Mr Biddle said he had “not discounted the idea that the killing may

be industry-based, or perhaps they just got the wrong property”.

“The industry is interesting. Some people know everything about everyone, while we are very private people and prefer to keep to ourselves.

“Some people are very serious about some things. Maybe it was an unhappy punter.”

Purana Taskforce detectives are understood to be inquiring into the betting habits of a number of punters.

Mr Biddle said he had told neighbours of the shooting and had moved other mares to nearby paddocks for

safety. Cows are being relocated to roadside paddocks.

He said he had been with the horses late on Friday, feeding them hay to keep them warm in the predicted freezing temperatures.

He said the killer would have had to cross several electric and barbed wire fences to get to the horse which was shot with a hollow point bullet and possibly “dead before it hit the ground”.

“She was a lovely mare and would have come to the fence to meet her killers,” he said. “She did not deserve to be killed in this manner. These are cowards

who knew what they were doing.

“If you hear someone claiming that they killed a horse recently, let the police know so that we can prevent this happening again.”

A search using a metal detector later on Saturday failed to find the spent cartridge, suggesting the killer had removed it to cover his tracks.

“These types of people get what they give in the end,” Mr Biddle said.

“Cowards that creep around in the dark of night to kill a beautiful mare need to be taken off the streets.

“To kill a horse is not good, but to

kill such a lovely mare is appalling.”

The thoroughbred won several races in Victoria before being retired five years ago. She had since had three foals, two being multiple winners, and a weanling filly on the ground.

Mr Biddle said Hastings police had “assumed the person or persons involved went to some lengths to kill the mare”.

“The kill shot was professionally executed by someone that clearly knew how to kill a horse,” he said.

Anyone with information should call Hasting police on 5970 7800.

Litter cash after call ‘copy Sydney’ THE state government is offering money for a new round of litter prevention projects in an attempt to clean up waterways, canals, drains, rivers and creeks feeding Port Phillip.

Environment Minister Lisa Neville announced the third round of Litter Hotspots funding last Thursday.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s waste group (Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Management Group) won a $7000 grant in the first round in 2013-14 and used it to run events encouraging people to reduce litter at three hotspots at Dromana and Mornington (Mothers Beach and Mills Beach).

Ms Neville said the third round would “support local government, businesses and community partnerships to implement a range of litter prevention and clean-up projects to stop litter from entering stormwater drains and impacting the Port Phillip catchment�. “The Litter Hotspots program encourages community action to tackle litter in local areas, preventing it from polluting our waterways, and helping make a cleaner, safer and more appealing environment for us all,� she said.

Applications to Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group, of which Mornington Peninsula Shire is now a part, close 31 August.

The small steps to reduce litter follow strong words about the state of Port Phillip from a scientist published in The News last month (“To preserve Port Phillip, Melbourne should learn from Sydney�, 23/6/15).

Professor Tim Flannery, who grew up on Port Phillip and snorkelled between Sandringham and Mornington, wrote that he was shocked when he

returned to Melbourne a few years ago and saw the state of the 2000 square kilometre waterway. “In Sydney, residents would lay down their lives for the harbour. Thirty years ago it was as polluted as Port Phillip is now, but hard work and pride have restored it,� he wrote. “The Andrews state government, elected last year, has pledged to get rid of the 50 worst level crossings in the state. What about cleaning up Port Phillip’s 50 worst barrel drains? “Port Phillip’s margins have also been battered by inappropriate development. In Sydney, great swathes of harbour-side natural vegetation have been reserved, inappropriate infrastructure removed, and commercial fishing banned. As a result, fish stocks have recovered spectacularly. “When I moved to Sydney the harbour and Port Phillip were pretty much equally blighted. But the people of Sydney have cared enough to make a difference. Surely Melburnians can, over time, do an equally good job with their waterway? “Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority has done much good. A powerful Port Phillip authority, properly funded and accountable, could deliver the strategic vision required, and the means of delivering it.�

Playing footy Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au VICTORIAN politicians are again playing political football with infrastructure – not the abandoned East West Link but the state’s future port needs and the fate of Port Phillip.

And the Liberal and Labor “players� in their nice new shiny jumpers with no actual mud on them have been joined by a ring-in from another team – federal environment minister Greg Hunt, who is no doubt wearing his Team Australia jumper and knows the field of play quite well, being a Victorian and living on the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne’s vast waterway.

The past few weeks have seen claim and counter-claim about what will happen if the Andrews Labor government leases the Port of Melbourne to one of the big shipping companies for 70 years.

It hopes to receive $7 billion, which it will use to remove 50 of the state’s worst level crossings over the next eight years as well as building Melbourne Metro, the West Gate Distributor and other transport projects not yet announced.

No new container port The state Opposition claims the government will have to give the shipping company a monopoly to get the best price. This means no new container port at either Hastings or on the western shore of Port Phillip, the so-called Bay West option proposed between Werribee and Geelong.

The squabble over the two locations has been a long political football game – in the early 2000s, the Labor government proposed expanding the Port of Hastings over 25 years in three stages.

It spent a bucket of money on reports and consultants. But something was amiss as the Port of Hastings land use and transport strategy was completed in September 2006, but the government stalled its release until March 2007 and again until December. Labor government ports

minister Tim Pallas finally found time to visit Hastings in August 2009 to explain the plan to stakeholders, but still nothing happened.

Labor lost government to the Liberal-Nationals Coalition in 2010. The Coalition picked up the Hastings ball with ports minister Denis Napthine in mid-2013 committing $110 million over four years to do economic and scientific studies.

Labor lost interest in Hastings and started promoting Bay West. Why did it spend all that money and time looking at expanding the Port of Hastings?

The game entered the fourth quarter last year when the Coalition lost government after just four years in office. The Labor government cut the cash for Port of Hastings planning, devastating the expectations of many.

People saw an expanded port as the key to reviving a town doing it tough, especially after job losses and contraction at BlueScope Steel’s plant, the area’s only major industry. Environmentalists were overjoyed as an expanded port would have put at risk Western Port’s unique natural values.

Blasting The Heads The Liberal-Nationals Opposition has gone in hard on the Labor government’s plan to lease the Port of Melbourne for 50 years (with the option of a further 20 years). Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and shadow treasurer Michael O’Brien have nails sticking out of their footy boots as they’ve tried to frightened Victorians about the government’s port lease plan.

They have claimed the entrance to Port Phillip, The Heads, will have to be blasted to allow larger ships of the future to enter. Southern peninsula Liberal MP Martin Dixon had a crack in the goal square four weeks ago when he said widening and deepening The Heads would make the controversial 2008-09 dredging “pale into insignificance� and ensure “the destruction of Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park�.

Mornington News 28 July 2015

with the bay Greg Hunt got his hands on the ball in late June when he stood on an inner city beach with his state Liberal colleague Matthew Guy for a photo that went with a story in The Age in which Mr Hunt said he too was concerned about the environmental damage to Port Phillip that would be caused by “blasting” the entrance. (No appearance from either of these two gentlemen during the 2008-09 Channel Deepening Project (CDP), by the way.)

The blasting claim is a shocker, excuse the pun.

The Heads have not been blasted since 1986. (It’s perhaps surprising that it occurred as recently as this, given that we’ve had some sensitivity toward the environment since at least the 1970s.)

Work by the dredger the Queen of the Netherlands in 2008-09 in The Heads was done with the maritime equivalent of one of those tunnelling machines. Most of the rock was sucked up and deposited off Mt Martha.

Blasting at The Heads started in 1883 when the pointy Lightning Rock, about seven metres below the waves, was felled. By 1900, the channel had been deepened to 10 metres. By 1924, various blasting episodes had deepened it to 13.1 metres. By 1986 it was 14 metres deep and no further work was done until 2008-09 when it was deepened to allow ships of 14 metres draught to enter.

Blasting was vigorously discounted by the Port of Melbourne Corporation during the CDP environmental effects process before work started in 2008. It was old technology and not suitable for the vast amount that needed to be removed (about 550,000 cubic metres along about one kilometre of rocky channel edge).

In 2003 the corporation stated that dredging at The Heads was going to be extensive because they knew they only had one bite of the cherry and would never be able to do any more.

The entrance to Port Phillip is 3.4 kilometres

wide but the Great Ship Channel is just 245 metres. Either side of it is Lonsdale Rock (on the western side) and Corsair Rock (on the eastern, Mornington Peninsula side).

So blasting is a myth and won’t occur.

Super-sized ships There has also been vigorous argument about the size of ships that could enter Port Phillip in the future. This is not only connected to the claimed need to deepen The Heads as well as the shipping channels to the docks but also how long the port will remain viable. The Opposition claims larger ships will need to access the port but this is not clear.

Some shipping and logistics specialists state the Port of Melbourne (or a second container port) will never need to accommodate the so-called megaships of now and the future. Victoria and Australia generally will continue to be served by ships carrying 3000 to 7000 containers (twentyfoot equivalent units, or TEUs) well into the future.

The largest vessel visiting Australian ports is the so-called Post Panamax Plus, which carries 6000-8000 TEUs and has a draught of 14.5 metres. Maersk’s Triple E Class launched last year holds 18,000 TEUs and draws only 14.5 metres, although it is 400 metres long and 59 metres wide and could not enter The Heads or berth safely at the Port of Melbourne.

Dr Hermione Parsons of Victoria University’s Institute for Supply Chain and Logistics says megaships will never visit Victorian ports as our market is too small. She said they travel between Shanghai, Rotterdam, Los Angeles and other major trading ports that service large populations.

“To say those ships will visit Melbourne is like saying a rocket to the moon will take a detour via Tasmania,” Dr Parsons reportedly said.

Politicians have also been scrapping over the “container numbers” ball.

It has been reported the Napthine Coalition

Boxes galore: Hyundai Oakland, one of the longest container vessels to enter Port Phillip, visited in May 2014. The ship is 71,783 tonnes, 293 metres long, 40 metres wide and can carry 6350 TEUs. Ships of 40 metres wide have visited but they were 260 metres long. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon, aquamanships.com

government used the assumption that the Port of Melbourne cannot move more than 5.3 million shipping containers a year to justify the development of Hastings.

But when the Port of Melbourne Corporation was justifying its $717 million dredging project, it stated the port would be handling 8 million TEUs a year by 2030. The entire economic case for channel deepening and its environmental risk assessment was built on the projection.

The Port of Melbourne will reach capacity by 2035 if the 5.3 million figure is used. Another consultant stated capacity would not be reached until about 2055, based on the 8 million figure.

This is very much a case of hiring a consultant to get the answer you want.

How not to say something Overtime in this game of political football occurred a couple of weeks ago when the Andrews Labor government attempted to shirtfront the Opposition and the Greens after they threatened to

block the Port of Melbourne Lease Transaction Bill 2015 in the upper house.

“Don’t stand in the way” warned Acting Premier James Merlino when he visited a level crossing in the eastern suburbs to launch a new “community campaign”.

In a media statement, he said the campaign would “allow anyone who is passionate about reducing road congestion, running more trains or saving Victorian lives to send a message to Victorian Liberal and Greens MPs to support the Labor government’s plan to get rid of these dangerous, deadly level crossings”.

“Last month, Coalition and Greens MPs teamed up in Parliament to oppose the removal of these crossings,” he stated.

How’s that? Oh, opposing the port lease is opposing the removal of crossings.

On and on it went for more than 300 words but not one word about the port lease.

It’s a funny old game, politics.

LETTERS MP talks the walk

Hopefully no stunt

Congratulations to [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt for his innovative 500km walk around the Flinders electorate to raise awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, at the same time, giving us the opportunity to walk and talk with him.

It is a pleasure and somewhat of a surprise to be able to use the word "innovative" in reference to a member of the federal government, but there you go. Indeed, given other government ministers' performances recently, it's wonderful to see one who can walk and talk at the same time.

Unfortunately, Mr Hunt's genuine concern and positive actions in relation to ASD are in stark contrast to his government's record and continuing efforts to de-fund health and education programs that are vital to address the real and ongoing challenges that people with disabilities face every day.

The government's support for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is at best half-hearted, and by any reasonable accounting the government has stripped about $80 billion from health and education budgets. This is unconscionable.

Mr Hunt invites us to walk and talk with him over the course of his two-week trek and we should take him up on the generous offer with enthusiasm. After all, although out of the office, Mr Hunt is on duty; we are paying his wages and we won't even need to make an appointment.

Who knows, just as he has raised our awareness of ASD, we may be able to raise his awareness of our deep concerns about the broad sweep of his government's policies, which seem almost on a daily basis to attack concepts of fairness, inclusion and support for the most vulnerable of our fellow citizens. And this is before we even engage with Mr Hunt on refugees, marriage equality, his ministerial responsibilities for environmental matters, his almost laughable direct action program to address carbon emissions, hobbling the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (Mr Hunt, what is the problem with wind and solar energy?).

Although I think Greg Hunt’s 500km walk around the Flinders electorate to raise $25,000 for autism is a terrific cause but, as a businessman and taxpayer, I have a few questions.

Are taxpayers paying him for the 19-day duration (not bad if he’s getting paid to burn calories and gain publicity) and for the marketing and promotional material? If so, what is the total cost to taxpayers?

Does the total cost exceed the expected raised benefit and has this been, or should it have been, sanctioned by anyone other himself?

I sincerely hope that this genuine cause is close to Mr Hunt’s heart and not just an elaborate publicity stunt at taxpayers’ expense.

Darren Hercus, Safety Beach

Road questions

Unfortunately, the list goes on and on. I look forward to meeting up with Mr Hunt and I hope many others do, too. As we walk and talk with him it could seem a whole lot longer than 500km.

But keep walking, Greg. A helicopter would be out of the question.

Greg Gilbert, Mt Eliza

Political ploy?

Having a granddaughter with autism I applaud Flinders MP Greg Hunt on his little march, even though he spent a wad of taxpayer money on a four-colour postage size notification of the event.

Having said that, I think that this is just another example of political hypocrisy. While marching for this good cause, Mr Hunt is also a kingpin policy maker in

this governments’ policies that are reducing funding to those with disabilities and those most in need of a safety net.

Add to that his “positive” views on local environmental issues and fast tracking open pit coal mines at the expense of our food supply and you pretty much have the moral fibre of his political policies.

At a local level, where he has little influence on what happens, he goes all out for our environment but, at a national level where he can influence national policy, it seems he is at complete odds with his local political persona.

We might wonder if the march for autism is a political ploy to get votes rather than a commitment to a just cause.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

I see - and one could not escape it if one lives in the electorate of Flinders and is bombarded with Liberal party propaganda - that Flinders MP Greg Hunt is again endeavouring to raise money for the very deserving cause of caring for people with autism. One has to commend him for his initiative and effort.

But it would be of very much greater help for people with disabilities if the Abbott government and the states would fully fund the NDIS (National disability insurance scheme) in perpetuity.

This certainty would assist afflicted citizens who have been waiting for too long to be properly looked after.

It also would give certainty to carers that their loved ones will be cared for into the future.

Of course when it comes to the environment portfolio our member for Flinders is responsible for, many

questions need to be answered. For instance why is it OK to approve a coal mine in and near some of our nation’s best farmland? Or, why is it OK for the government to constantly try and block the development of renewable energy production? Is it really OK to burn our native forests for “clean energy” production?

Here the Labor party is just as culpable because they are both voting for the reduction in our renewable energy target (RET).

There are a few more issues that our minister “for” the environment needs to improve. But, of course, under the spell of the great Tony Abbott the fighter of windmills and same sex marriage, we may have to wait a few more months, until after the next federal election, to hopefully see some progress on these issues.

Meanwhile, it seems Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils have learned nothing from the disastrous development of Peninsula Link freeway. In its initial blind support for the most destructive proposal for this road, the shire got lumbered with two service centres on the watershed of the Moorooduc plain, even after it decided belatedly, they were not such a great idea.

I would say the same goes for the "green" expansion of the Port of Hastings the mayor Cr Bev Colomb is spruiking. The inevitable huge amount of dredging required to accommodate such a port would surely not make this a "green" port development.

I wonder if the mayor is going to guarantee peninsula people that the natural beauty and world heritage listing of our beautiful Western Port will be left unspoilt? Or that it would not affect the many tourist and recreational jobs in our region?

Of course it is of major concern if the Labor government would think it would be a great coal port. Especially now that we should leave this stuff in the ground.

Would it not be a much better idea to promote new technological industries in alternative energy production like wind solar or wave power?

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Danish example A recent news item announced that Denmark

T E K S I R B S R E G R U B

had, on one day, reached over 100 per cent of its electricity needs by wind generated power enabling the surplus to be sold to other countries.

If Denmark can do this so can Australia.

How embarrassing it is for us to realise that the rest of the world leaders know that our prime minister does not like the look of wind turbines or the noises they make so is openly discouraging their construction.

Dr Richard Denniss commenting in his excellent article in the July 2015 Monthly states that unless Australians “start calling out crap” and state that we should not worry about “what the markets think” but realise that the choices are political, not economic. “Indeed we might continue to believe that we need to double our coal exports in order to fund the fight against climate change”.

A large pile of discarded [Flinders Mp Greg] Hunt literature left by the mailbox users in the Balnarring post office indicates that residents have no time for what the minister dishes out in his mail outs to justify his actions that I believe is destroying our environment and support his economics.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Lost Liberal vote In the article about shire councillors approving the resort expansion at Cape Schanck ("Green light for RACV resort", The News, 21/7/15), Nepean MP Martin Dixon (Liberal) was quoted saying "While I am sympathetic to residents' concerns that were raised with my office over recent months, the reality is that the proposal has been deemed by councillors, independent architects and council officers to satisfy the conditions and requirements of the planning scheme".

I was astounded by his comments. As our representative, it is incumbent on him to support his constituents. I for one do not feel that he did this.

In my opinion, he did not listen to our concerns but just gave lip service to our cause.

Remember, Mr Dixon, it was your political party that passed the amendment to the original incorporated document that allowed such a large development without consulting any of the other stakeholders. Disgraceful.

Most of the resort opponents were not against

the proposed expansion but were opposed to its scale – a 30-metre high, seven-level building in the middle of the green wedge zone.

As a lifelong Liberal Party supporter, Mr Dixon has now convinced me to cast a donkey vote as I cannot see any reason why I would vote for him and his party.

Also, it was disappointing that our ward councillor, Tim Wood, did not even attend the council meeting and vote. Paul A'Bell, Cape Schanck

Citizenship bid Recent surveys have shown that there are increasing numbers of expats living in Australia returning to their home countries, in particular the UK. But for one group, including a number of Mornington Peninsula residents, Australia still retains a great appeal. BERIA (British Expats Retired In Australia), represents holders of the 410 retirement visa withdrawn in 2005, but hitherto available to over 55s seeking a fully self-funded retirement in Australia.

Now, having secured the support of Western Australian MP Ian Goodenough, the group is petitioning both houses of the Australian parliament to grant 410 visa holders permanent residence and a pathway to Australian citizenship once they have resided in Australia for 10 years. Mr Goodenough has announced his intention to introduce a private members bill in support of this.

The determined group of some 2000 people believe that having invested in Australia over the years through home ownership; payment of goods and services tax; purchase of private health insurance and contributing to and engaging with their local communities in a variety of ways, Australian friends and neighbours overwhelmingly agree that permanent residence should be made available.

In addition to this, 410 visa holders are subject to periodic police and character checks in order to maintain their status.

Another anomaly for them is that their categorisation does not allow them to claim any reciprocal health care benefits from Australia, something which is accessible to Australian visitors to the UK as well as UK visitors to Australia.

The overall quality of life which I have enjoyed since coming here means that I have no regrets whatsoever. Yes Australia has changed but, as I know from visits to the UK, so has life over there.

I have contacted the MP for Dunkley Bruce Billson for support but his response was noncommittal.

Pine protest Can anybody tell me what was achieved by a team of tree fellers with a very large excavator, a travel tower and a big chipper/mulcher who spent four weeks on Forest Drive, Mt Martha, during May and June removing pine trees only and hindering traffic. The saw logs from them are still beside the road and it is plain to see that none of these pines were diseased or dying.

No eucalypts or Australian natives were removed and there are many dead or dying trees left leaning dangerously towards the very busy road. The area has a bleak untidy look these now that trees are gone, particularly at the corner of Hearn Rd. If this was a council-sanctioned operation I consider it to be a complete waste of ratepayers’ money.

Somers change A wide concrete pathway the length and breadth of Somers will destroy our coastal village atmosphere.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has not given residents a proper opportunity to consider this scheme with its unfair payments from landowners.

Why did the shire not ask for our opinion first instead of relying on a small survey carried out by the Somers Residents Association.- known to be pushing for the development?

Survey shows peninsula’s horse-led economy Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SURVEY of peninsula horse owners has found that 100, picked at random, own 320 horses between them.

They told the Mornington Peninsula Horse Owners Association that they collectively spent about $12,800 a week on their horses – or a staggering $665,000 a year.

“Multiply that number of owners by 10 – which would probably well understate the correct number of peninsula horse owners – and suddenly there are 3200 horses and expenditure becomes a very meaningful $6.65 million going into the local economy annually,” peninsula horse enthusiast Geraldine Chapman said.

She thinks the real figure may be higher.

Ms Chapman manages Mornington Peninsula Horse Owners on Facebook, which has more than 1800 members with two or three new members joining daily.

She said horse owners costs included vet and instructor’s bills, riding equipment, physiotherapy, transport, food, medicines, club memberships and registrations.

With a background working with the Australian Horse Industry Council and Victorian Horse Council, Ms Chapman said she was interested in finding out more about the local horse industry and, last year, conducted a 10-question survey of horse owners.

“The data gave us a window into the possible economic benefits of horse activities to the [Mornington

Equine economics: Tyabb horse lover Geraldine Chapman on Cub, a Clydesdale/standard bred.

Peninsula] shire,” she said.

“Further work needs to be done now to get a more accurate picture of the numbers of horses, people involved and activities they take part in.”

The snapshot information from the survey can be found at the Horses on the Mornington Peninsula Facebook page.

“After the disastrous equine influenza outbreak of 2007 I realised there was no way to communicate with local horse owners as a group in the event of an emergency,” she told The News.

“In 2010 I saw that Facebook Groups had exactly what was needed to facilitate communication with local communities and I set up two other local horse owner groups.”

Later, realising the need for a centralised resource for horse riders and owners on the peninsula, she created peninsulahorse.com.au The aim is to provide a foundation for horse owners, giving them information on welfare and care, as well as horse management, activities and laws relating to the keeping of horses.

“Many of the problems facing horse owners are self-made,” she said. “Owners may have a lack of knowledge about caring for their animals.

“Others complain about their interaction with trail riders or cars or the lack of signs on riding trails.”

The recently built Riding Trails on the Mornington Peninsula section of the peninsulahorse.com.au site, compiled by veteran peninsula All Trail Horse Riding Association member Anne-Marie Alderson, has been popular, she said.

It features pages and maps detailing dedicated horse riding trails and details about what can be seen on the trail and the location of accessible float parking sites.

Another feature of the site is a reporting system for horse accidents. “In 2014 a survey undertaken by the AHIC showed that 38 per cent of horse owners said they had experienced serious accidents involving their horses in the past year,” Ms Chapman said.

“That made me curious about what was happening in my own neck of the woods so I created a short survey that people can fill in if they have an accident.

“Over time I hope it will give us a picture of what is happening and help identify any trends or specific black spots that we can work towards making safer for everyone.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A call to all recruits for enlistment Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, *** AS a donation to the Red Cross Fund (Lord Mayor’s List) we notice that Messrs Jas Paterson and Coy (of which Mr Hy Masterton of Frankston is Principal) has donated £100. *** FOR the month of June, the proceeds of the sale of Belgian Buttons, in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, amounted to £38 16s. This amount includes £6 8s for buttons sold by Miss Broomhead. *** MADAME Melba’s concert, in the Melbourne Town Hall, on Thursday evening, in aid of Lady Stanley’s Red Cross Fund for sick and wounded Australians soldiers was a magnificent success and realised £3000, making a total of £30,000 raised by Madame Melba in aid of patriotic funds. *** ON Wednesday next, being the first anniversary of the declaration of war

by Great Britain, there will be a celebration of Holy Communion at St Paul’s Church, Frankston at 7 45 am. and a special service of Intercession from 7.30 to 7.55 in the evening, before the meeting in the Mechanics’. *** A cheque for £7 18s 6d was remitted from Langwarrin, this week, to the ‘Lady Stanley’ Fund for wounded, or sick, returned Australian soldiers.

This is a very satisfactory start, and with such a good working Committee and energetic secretary, it is expected that each month’s work will show equally satisfactory results. *** MRS Moloney notifies in our advertising columns that she has purchased the hotel business lately carried on

by Mr W. Schultz, at the Pier Hotel, Frankston. Mrs Maloney has had long experience in the hotel keeping business in West Australia, and she intends to fully keep up the good reputation gained by the former proprietor in catering for the comfort of her patrons.

She is having the premises thoroughly renovated and refurnished,and will have everything in applepie order by the time that the usual influx of summer visitors arrive. *** A pleasant surprise was afforded S. M. Durham, Garrison Sergeant Major Prisoners of War Depot, Langwarrin, when the members of the Guard force gathered to give him a social evening and present him with a new riding equipment, in the form of a new saddle, bridle, whip, and spurs. It was a tribute of the warm appreciation and respect which the guard bear for their instructor.

Sergeant Major Durham is something more than a popular man. He is a strong man in every way. An early riser, lover of classics, keen observer and vigorous thinker. He has given the guard the wealth of his experience of 21 years service for the Empire, in Britain, Asia and Africa, with a good

conduct medal and a pension.

He recently retired from the Imperial Army and at the urgent request of the Defence Department he entered the Victorian service. He was specially selected by Lieut Algie for the onerous position of Instructor to the Langwarrin Guard. *** OVER thirty parcels of old linen for use as bandages and other Red Cross purposes were handed in at the Frankston Depot on Tuesday last. Various other donations were received, to be used as the committee thought best.

Linen sheet Miss Elliot, portable deck chair Mrs Clements, field glasses Mr W. Gregory, cushion (Irish crochet) Mrs Membrey, cosy and cushion, Mrs Wilcox, 1 doz jug covers Mrs Gumme, cloth for slippers Mrs Ward, 12 yds military flannel Mrs H. Garrood, pair. gold earrings Miss Gregory, packet knitting cotton Mrs Hartland.

During the afternoon music was rendered by Mrs Mc’Cormack and Miss Gray. The Frankston Depot will in future be open on Wednesday afternoons from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Mechanics’ Hall, *** MR Oscar Bailey announces that he will address the electors of the North Riding at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Saturday evening 14th August when he will give “his lucid exposition of a national and progressive policy.”

Cr T. Ritchie after six years of municipal life, notifies that he intends to retire from the council table when his

Gambling is an acquired disease and should be treated with caution, ever wary of the trap, that next step; the addicted gambler who bets to lose, playing on till zero. I’ve witnessed it more times than I can count. If you’re not one of those be aware of it, in control, to offset the danger.

You can’t win obviously when the various forms take a percentage out of each dollar. You conveniently ignore this; your form of entertainment, pleasure; no argument.

Winning can give the player a sense of superiority, a euphoric feeling multiplied ten times the other way if you lose your shirt, which I did more than once in my 20s. More importantly (for limit gamblers) if you’re winning $400 do you play on and risk losing the lot on the chance of a winning streak? That’s the mistake. The pleasure gambler has the strength to walk away. The limit gambler should then apply his/ her limit the other way; reset your limit thus leaving with a profit. If it’s $100, walk away with $300.

My advice, which will be ignored: set a limit, if not each time, at least weekly. Pleasure, like sex, requires a form of control, more in gambling than most of life’s other pleasures.

And cut out salt (this column excepted). With apologies to my RSL. [Dare I say it? You cannot lose if you do not play]. *** COTA, the council on the aging, is having a “Let’s talk about sex conference” on the 8th and 9th September. The subject of older people and sexual intimacy with speakers Ita Buttrose, Kaz Cooke, Adele Horan and Catherine Barrett. No male speakers? Apparently their right to a satisfying and fulfilling sex life with

no provision in aged care planning. I quite like the idea of talking about it; from memory. *** Tony’s mob is up in arms over workers being short-changed? Gleaned from the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and/or the inquisition of Billy Boy Shorten.

This from the WorkChoices crowd and the 2014 budget? I liked the piece from Herald Sun noting “the vision of Shorten guzzling water seemed damaging”. (A strange set of values from News Limited; the evils of drinking a glass of water, but reasonable for Tony Abbott to stand in front of signs describing Julia Gillard as a “witch” and “Bob Brown’s bitch” together with his two darlings, Bronwyn Bishop and Sophie Mirabella?). The premise of this Royal Commission makes a mockery of fairness and the political process, costing almost as much as they spend on the total arts allocation. More importantly the attack on Q&A, and by extension our ABC. Give it to News Limited and we are seriously threatened by brainwashing par excellence. [For the record I haven’t voted Labor in 30 years; equally, I haven’t voted Liberal]. *** The Jolson Story (1946). Jolson (Larry Parkes) in the cinema watching his first Hollywood film, humming the song on the screen. The fellow behind taps him on the shoulder saying “Jolson’s doing alright, mister”. To the Reclaim Australia crowd...“Tony’s doing alright, boys and girls”. *** If (or when?) the Liberals think Tony Abbott has gone too far they may welcome Malcolm Turnbull. Not

time expires next month. As a councillor of the North Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, Cr Ritchie has devoted a deal of his time to the service of the ratepayers, and during his term as President of the Shire he filled the office with credit to himself and the Shire. The rate- payers are losing a good servant, and his presence will be missed at the deliberations of the Council.

In response to a requisition from a number of rate payers, Mr W. P. Mason has consented to allow himself to be nominated for the seat rendered vacant in the North Riding of the Frankston and Hastings Shire by the retirement of Cr Ritchie. Mr Mason takes an active interest in the welfare of the district, in which he has resided for many years, and, if elected, should make a useful member.

For the Centre Riding the retiring member is Cr Griffeth, and for the East Riding Cr Watt. The following gentlemen retire in the Flinders Shire:—East Riding, Cr J. Davis, Central Riding, Cr A V Shaw ; West Riding, Cr D M’Farlan; In the Mornington Shire the retiring members are:—Crs J. Male, G. Flood, and J. D. Grover. *** ONCE more, in “Life” for August, Dr Fitchett gives us a wonderful review of the fighting of the month in Europe, and on the Sea. In the course of one section of this review Dr Fitchett frankly admits that the month has been one of disappointments. In his usual vigorous and picturesque style Dr Fitchett then outlines the fighting of

the month on both fronts and in Gallipoli. Having done so, he proceeds to point out the bright spots in the landscape and to analyse the disappointments. The result is that he shows us very clearly that in reality the balance during the month has tipped in the Allies’ favour.

It is a practical and heartening pronouncement that gives the reader a wonderful clear-eyed view of the war.

Readers of the August issue of “Life” will notice that the Editor is by no means devoting his entire space on the war; on the contrary, we find such illustrated articles as “Morrissey of the Snakes” illustrated with some remarkable photographs, and telling some of the adventures of that widely known character, who says of himself: “I reckon I’m the chap that they wrote the proverb about that ‘a rollin’ stone gathers no moss.’” *** RECRUITS WANTED Every man physically fit is wanted.

Conditions of enlistment- Age—18 to 45 years. Minimum height—5 feet 2 inches. Chest measurement— 33 inches. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot, where arrangements will be made for medical examination.

Persons who are considered suitable will be granted free railway tickets to the Metropolis for final medical examination and enlistment.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31 July, 1915

A Grain of Salt The “them and us” predicament, regurgitated courtesy of Madam Bronwyn’s flight to Geelong, surely overcharged at $5,227, never forgetting honest Joe’s living away from home allowance. Being a Collingwood supporter I’ve lived with it close to a lifetime. Why the Coalition gets the votes; concluding half of them are brainwashed Herald Sun readers?

Surely they realise Tony’s mob are for big business and high income earners? Treasurer Joe Hockey, Minister for Orchestrated Misinformation, is talking tax reform yet Godfather Tony has ruled out changing arrangements for superannuation and negative gearing? Along comes a 15 per cent GST proposition, seemingly from the states but likely orchestrated from Canberra together with softeners “compensation for low income households and pensioners”? “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” *** Deeply remorseful; the criminals’ code. I’m a lifetime veteran of feeling deeply remorseful. We live in a brave new world where even footballers (Sam Mitchell, kneeing and Joel Selwood, chicken wing tackle) take up the cause, and apologise? “Sorry”?

The question is do they mean it? The second question is “who cares?”.

Generally we all know when we have done wrong. We can soften it to some extent by promising inwardly to mend our ways, and (if it’s a bad one; there’s always bad ones) we live the life hoping to never being found out. Due to my age I can probably tell one or two bad ones (a minor benefit of old age), but I shall refrain; ASIO might be tuning in. “Them” will surely soften their guilt in old age but it will never fade away completely. ***

By Cliff Ellen that they like him, but they like winning even better, and Malcolm will surely get the vote in preference to Billy Boy Shorten. Is Malcolm still best mates with Godwin Grech? *** Collingwood’s season 2015 has bitten the proverbial so I now concentrate on barracking for the teams playing the teams I hate, and if I hate both of them I win either way; unless it’s Hawthorn. *** Welcome to VicRoads, speed limits and roundabouts our specialty; always more, never less...A two page feature in The Age (recipe for health and happiness); two pages

of nonsense...The shipping industry (Greece’s biggest) is tax exempt?...

Have WE won the ashes yet?...

Not that I miss him, but where is Rove McManus?...Leigh Sales; tough on Labor, soft on Malcolm Turnbull?...“Every man hath a good and a bad angel attending on him in particular, all his life long. Hatred hath an end, envy never ceaseth.

Ambitious men may not cease, but as a dog in a wheel, a bird in a cage, or a squirrel in a chain they climb and climb still, with much labour, but never make an end, never at the top” [Robert Burton]...hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com Mornington News 28 July 2015

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Rock and roll and tales of excess (baggage)

By Stuart McCullough I TAKE it all back; every last word.

For years I have poured scorn on anything that looked like a boy band. I have derided their musical output and questioned their artistic integrity. I have dished out piping hot spoonfuls of opprobrium. I ridiculed the way they dressed, danced and the dreadful songs they sang. Not anymore. I have officially seen the light. For I am now convinced that these confected groups are the repositories of the true rock and roll spirit. This change of heart is not the result of a song or even a particularly challenging dance manoeuvre but is all thanks to one man, or boy, if you prefer. Namely, one James McElvar.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’d never heard of the boy band ‘Rewind’. I don’t own any of their albums, have never visited them at ‘Soundcloud’ and, if I’m being completely honest, wouldn’t recognize the group if I tripped over them down at the local fruit and veggie shop. But ‘Rewind’ is a real group and James McElvar is a member. More than a mere boy band, they are carriers of the torch that has been passed from one generation of rock and roll outlaws to the next.

The group was catching a flight from London to Glasgow. Young James was informed he had one more carry-on bag than he was allowed. His options were limited: he could either pay a forty-five pound fee for the execrable crime of having excess baggage, or he could dispose of his bag altogether.

James, however, saw a third option.

Young McElvar was not about to be pushed around by the powers that be –

PAGE 48

Source: Twitter that’s not what rock and roll is about.

Instead, like generations of musicians before him, he decided to stick it to the man.

Rather than abandon his surplus suitcase, James decided to wear the

Mornington News 28 July 2015

entire contents. This meant donning six t-shirts, four jumpers, two jackets, one pair of shorts, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging pants and two hats. It was the ultimate fashion statement, a statement that also said, ‘you

can try and charge me forty five quid, but you can never tame the music.’ But as stylish as it was, it significantly impeded young James’s attempts to walk to the aircraft. Things only got worse once he was on board.

In the event that you decided to dress up like the Michelin Man, fair warning: you may experience difficulties putting your seatbelt on. Not only was James unable to comply with even the most straightforward requirements of the in-flight safety demonstration, he started to overheat.

By ‘overheat’, we’re not talking about the occasional droplet of sweat but the kind of meltdown you normally expect to see when the Wicked Witch of the West gets drenched. The boy was positively melting.

Airline cabin crew are prepared for almost anything, including overheating boy band members. Responding to the urgent situation, the crew took off the extraneous clothing – a process which must have felt like peeling an onion or a gigantic boy band version of ‘pass the parcel’ - and laid the stricken passenger down on a row of seats. But it was to no avail. James was violently ill and then fainted. Now that’s what I call rock and roll. The only thing he didn’t do was kick over an amplifier and toss a pair of drum sticks into the audience.

There’s not nearly enough of this kind of thing these days. It used to be that acts of rock and roll defiance were reported on a daily basis. I can still recall the furor surrounding the refusal of Jimi Hendrix to touch off the number 67 tram to Carnegie. And the time Pig Pen from the Grateful Dead failed to

cast his vote in the Stonnington Council Elections, to say nothing of the day that Jim Morrison ‘forgot’ to say thank you after a particularly tricky merge onto the Monash from the Warrigal Road on-ramp. I had thought we were never going to see such brazen acts of rock and roll debauchery again. I am happy to be proved wrong.

In a way, James has reminded us all of time when rock music meant something. His actions in trying to dodge an excess baggage fee recall an era when the music of youth was about nonconformity and rebellion. My hope is that it doesn’t end here. Perhaps other musicians will be inspired by this simple but lonely act of insurrection and will find their own way to stick it to the man. I look forward to the day when Taylor Swift refuses to offer her bags for inspection and Harry from One Direction takes the ticket he got for overstaying his welcome in a two hour parking spot and sets it on fire, Hendrix style, before kicking over a postbox to make his point.

Clothes maketh the man. In this case, clothes maketh the man feel very, very ill. Luckily for all, James McElvar has recovered but I hope he’s learned something. No doubt he’s received plenty of criticism for his actions. This misses the point. Before news of this event, I’d never even heard of James or his band, Rewind. In fact, I am yet to hear a lick of their music. In that sense, I think James may well have achieved more than he set out to. For me, I can only say that I am looking forward to the next exciting rock and roll adventure from James. Rock on. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

STORM IN A TEACUP A Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition – 24 July – 27 September 2015

Beginning with well-known paintings of the afternoon tea table from E. Phillips Fox and Arthur Streeton, the exhibition goes on to explore the darker side of tea drinking and the social and environmental impacts of the humble cup of tea. Michael Cook’s Object (table), 2015, provides an alternative history to the narrative of colonialism while Sharon West and Adam Hill both use humour to subvert colonial understandings of the afternoon tea party as an occasion of refined gentility.

Storm in a Teacup features paintings, works on paper, photographs, ceramics, sculpture and installation by 34 artists, including Charles Blackman, Julia deVille, Julie Dowling, E. Phillips Fox, Rosalie Gascoigne, Adam Hill, Danie Mellor, Darren Siwes and Anne Zahalka.

A range of special events accompany the exhibition, including After Noon, Sunday 26 July, 2pm-5pm, adults $4, concession $2, discover how artists Samantha Everton, Penny Byrne and Clare Humphries have explored the afternoon tea party, and the Flying Bookworm Theatre Company presents a pantomime for 5-10 year olds on Saturday 26 September, 10.30am-12.30pm, children $15, adults $5.

The Gallery’s self-serve café has been transformed into a 19th century tea exchange. Enjoy a range of Mornington-based Bespoke Tea and scones, jam and cream available 11am-4pm on Sundays.

ROB PAPP UP CLOSE & UNPLUGGED

By Terri Lee Fatouros which sees him gigging all over Melbourne and NSW. However, the night I caught up with him in his Manhattan Trio outfit saw his broad jazz, blues, and rock spectrum shine through in the style of jazz he was playing.

Rob Papp wooed diners at eighteen 78 @ Brooklands in Tanti Ave, Mornington recently when he was their featured artist in Come Dine with Me A La Carte dinner during the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. All guests were greeted with a complimentary glass of Champagne on arrival, which set the mood for the quality jazz being played.

There’s no doubt Papp loses himself while playing. With eyes closed he’s riding his muse and you get the feeling this guy knows what’s going on, and knows it’s happening around him.

His ensemble aptly named Rob Papp and The Manhattan Trio comprised of Dale finch on double bass, Peter Cottier on drums and Papp on Gibson L5 guitar. Their intelligent rendition of modern jazz-fusion with overtones of funk was smooth, dry and simply…cool.

Papp’s versatility and innovative musical prowess sets standards and it’s no wonder he is well loved and respected by fellow musicians and fans alike. He started playing at age 15 in his father’s jazz band then cut his teeth on rock and roll and continued to play just about everything else afterwards.

A singer-songwriter in his own right, Papp has gigged in numerous bands, duos, gone solo, as well as been a recording artist.

To quote from his bio: “Rob’s career was influenced from a very young age by College of the Arts founder Bruce Clarke who tutored Rob in a comprehensive education of reading, writing and playing music, and took him on as a protégé, teaching him all he knew about playing jazz”.

Papp left for America in his earlier years to study at Guitar Institute of Technology in LA where he met and learnt from musical greats like Joe Pass, Tommy Tedesco, Howard Roberts, Jo Pass, Ike Izzacs, Bruce Clarke, Pat Martino, Steve Vi, and Robben Ford, geniuses in their own right and gained invaluable musical and technical experiences whilst living there amongst it all.

Cottier’s use of brushes instead of sticks in most of the songs and Finch’s intuitive bass, which incidentally is the distinguishing sound of a guitar trio in fusion jazz works in concert with Papp’s lead. The guys ebb and flow, as each knows instinctively when to allow the other to lead or go solo within the structure of the songs.

So impressive is Papp’s unassuming biography and personality that not many realize he established Blue Note College of Music in Well St, Frankston way back in 1988. This college helps so many musical hopefuls gain knowledge, confidence and invaluable experience to go out and passionately perform. Brendan Meyers now runs the college and has done so for the past six years, who incidentally with Ross Clark, affectionately known as Rossco started the Peninsula Blues Club held on the second Sunday of each month at the Frankston Bowling Club. Peninsula Blues Club attracts big name artists and is a must see each month.

Papp’s repertoire is vast. He’s played at Crown Casino, The Melbourne and Sydney Art Centres, Melbourne Club and The Entertainment Centre, just to name a few.

Currently Papp’s main band is Blueshead,

Jazz is often played to an arrangement but with allowances of improvisation within the framework of the song.

Cottier is no stranger to jazz either. He’s been the resident drummer in the Cerberus Navy Big Band for years and played in Top 40 cover bands and an Irish band.

The same is said for Finch whose expertise on the double bass initiates that popular modern jazz-fusion sound we all recognize when heard. The guys incorporated their jazz bent with funk overtones on some cool tunes from George Benson, Eddy Harris, Miles Davis and Leon Russell.

Putting one’s own experiences into the framework of a jazz song is a noticeable thing amongst jazz players and the boys were no exception to this.

As Papp explained: “Knowing the framework of a song and understanding western harmonies and mathematics enables one to play rhythmically off ideas developed in

each tune as its being played. So you can either stay close to the melody or can go right out there. The span of what we want to do, and as a guitar trio sets our parameters rhythmically as we are not stuck to it like a blues or covers band for example, where you have to just play the tune.”

Of late Papp’s been writing his own instrumentals in jazz fusion style as well as writing roots and blues based tunes with tendencies towards western harmonies.

“My reference points are everyone from Louis Armstrong, McCoy Tyner to John McLaughlin, and in the styles of improv, I emulate them within my playing of that tune. So I might take on the voice of one of them but be more out there, play the melody, put in the chords, and think ‘what would the likes of say, McCoy Tyner do with this tune as he plays his keyboard’, so I think like that. Then I don’t care what these guys do,” he says cheekily while nodding his head towards Cottier and Finch, who chorus “We just fit in”.

Papp isn’t into planning his shows as everything is different and depends on the venue. With his preferred genre of blues and his open admittance of being addicted to it, it’s no wonder his originals are laced with strong tones of blues jazz and modern rock overtones.

Papp gigs everywhere on the peninsula, up town and all over. He is well sought after by most musicians due to his vast knowledge and experience and is a real pleasure to watch.

Stringer ‘best on’ in milestone NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt GUY Stringer celebrated his 400th game against on Saturday with five goals and a best on ground performance against Tyabb.

Stringer, suffering from a torn bicep which he carried into the milestone game, booted his first of five goals at the nine minute mark of the first quarter.

He dominated at centre half forward while fellow forwards Myles Pitt and Leigh Poholke booted 10 and seven goals respectively.

Tyrren Head continued his sensational season while Leigh Treeby absolutely ensured that he was at his best for Stringer’s big game.

Stringer will now miss the rest of the season after getting his bicep operated on this week.

As expected, Sorrento completely dominated the game, booting 12 goals in the first half and 21 in the second hour. They beat Tyabb 33.18 (216) to 3.3 (21).

Trent Urquart in his first game was the best of the Yabbies, while the evergreen Scott Pickerskill, who would have played a lot of footy against Guy Stringer, was also vintage in his performance.

A top three finish is again a very realistic target for Hastings after it caused an upset and knocked over Somerville.

In the match of the round, the Blues jumped out of the blocks and led by 20 points at the first change.

Despite an Eagles revival in the second quarter, the visitors booted 10 goals to five in the second half to run out comfortable winners, 17.14 (116) to 11.10 (76).

The Eagles’ defensive side was challenged by a four quarter effort on Saturday and it failed to respond.

The Blues however, were almost perfect. They were super impressive defensively first and foremost and then were able to make the opposition pay on the attack.

Dale Alanis has been in super form this season and he was again with four goals, while Luke Clark and the elusive Steve Robb booted five between them.

Matt Clifford was at his best, Paul Rogasch was unstoppable with two

goals and Josh Mulheron was the winner of the ruck battle.

Timmy McGenniss was Somerville’s best and together with Adrian Ridout booted three goals, while Todd Farrelly and Kane McKenzie worked hard in the back half.

Rosebud maintained its position on top of the ladder with a hard fought, low scoring game against Dromana.

The Buds had 14 scoring shots to six in the first half but managed only an 18 point lead.

In the second half, the Buds booted 9.9 to 6.3 to finish the game 12.20 (92) to 7.9 (51). Thirty-two scoring shots to 16 didn’t tell the story of the day on the scoreboard.

Tom Baker booted another four for the Buds while Jack Jarman and Rhys

Bancroft were outstanding.

Kieran Voekl, Matt Jones and Christian Ongarello were the best of the Tigers.

Rye, along with Rosebud, have moved a game clear of Somerville and Hastings on the ladder.

The Demons were too strong for Crib Point on Saturday, opening up a 21 point buffer in the first quarter and going on to win by more than 10 goals, 16.18 (114) to 6.9 (45).

Andrew Dean and Adrian Gileno again worked well together up forward with four goals each while Ben Winters-Kerr was outstanding in his small, pressure forward role, booting three.

Kris Bardon was outstanding for the second week in a row and Daniel

Schwind was superb again in the ruck.

‘Schwindy’ has become a valuable tool for Rye coach Josh Moore and has made life tough for Rhett Sutton to get back into the team.

Daniel White, Kyle Arnott and Shayne Ainsworth were the best of the Magpies.

Devon Meadows were on show in the RPP Match of the Round on Saturday against Frankston Bombers and their response was a 14.16 (100) to 5.12 (42) demolition.

Troy Aust booted five and Dylan Hand four goals for the Meadows while Jayden Sullivan and Billy Hayes were superb.

James Degenhardt and Matty Windsor were the best of the Bombers, along with Sam Drake and the ever-

consistent Jason Kingsbury.

In the final game, Red Hill stayed in the finals hunt with a hard fought, come from behind 6.16 (52) to 6.5 (41) victory over Pearcedale.

Young gun defenders Luke Chandler and Jonah Siverson were outstanding once again for the Hillmen, while Daniel McNamara steered the ship in the back half.

The Panthers led by 11 points at quarter time and led by one and four points at half and three-quarter time.

Daniel Heijden worked hard for the visitors while Dylan Hoare and Ben Mitchell were also on top of their game.

Pythons drop to fifth after loss PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES has dropped to fifth place on the ladder after losing a high quality game against Mornington at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday.

In a thrilling contest, the match was played in two halves. Pines booted 16 of its 18 goals in the first and third quarters while Mornington booted 18 of its 20 goals in the second and final terms.

Suffice to say that it was the wind that won on the day.

In the end though, despite playing away from home, the Doggies proved too strong, winning 20.11 (131) to 18.8 (116).

Mornington were 43 points down at quarter time and 35 points down at three quarter time.

Despite the strong wind advantage, to come back from these deficits is not an easy task.

However the Dogs; through the likes of Jackson Calder with seven goals, Michael Gay’s dominance in the ruck and Joel Miller playing a best on ground game, were able to be an exception to the rule.

Pines were far from disgraced against a team that played in a grand final last season. The Pythons had 11 goal kickers, Shaun White being the best of them with four majors. Adam Maling and Corey Ash were also outstanding performers for Pines.

Edithvale-Aspendale jumped Pines on the ladder and moved to fourth with a 18.17 (125) to 7.6 (48) victory over Karingal.

Mark Meehan booted six goals and Matt Kremmer and Brett O’Hanlon three each while Timmy Mannix was back and at his best.

Michael Burke was outstanding for the Bulls with three goals while Aaron Paxton was also outstanding.

Frankston YCW were hell bent on reversing the shock loss against Langwarrin earlier in the season and they did it with ease, winning 17.8 (120) to 6.10 (46).

David Bodley, Anthony Bruhn and Kyle Hutchison each booted three goals while Ben Credlin and Ash

Eames dominated.

The Stonecats opened up the Kangas with a six goal to three behind second quarter.

Gerard Brown booted three goals for the Kangas while Blake Harkness shone yet again. Liam Hogan and Rikki Johnston were also at their best of the home team.

Mt Eliza had 34 scoring shots to Seaford’s 12 on the weekend and won 14.20 (104) to 6.6 (42).

Sam Wettenhall booted four and Justin Van Unen three goals while Jimmy Clayton and Sam Gill continued their splendid seasons.

Levi Hughes kicked three goals in his first game for the Tigers while Matt Finn and Luke Smith carried the

can for much of the afternoon.

Bonbeach had to wait for a last quarter onslaught to break Chelsea in the battle of the neighbours.

In a see-sawing battle that saw Bonbeach in front by just one point at quarter time and two points at the main break and three quarter time, the home side booted 2.4 to two behinds in the last quarter to win 11.12 (78) to 9.7 (61).

Owen Hulett was on fire again for the Sharks with four goals while Dylan Jones was influential in the ruck.

Chelsea coach Brent Guerra booted four for his side while Brad Clark was silky around the ground and Daine Taylor played arguably his best game.

Stringer sits comfortably as a legend

By Toe Punt THE terms champion, superstar and legend are thrown around way too flippantly in footy circles.

A player does a couple of special things and he is a ‘superstar’. Kicks a bag of goals a couple of weeks in a row and he’s a ‘champion’.

Champion, superstar and legend are powerful terms in our great game – to be fair, there’s not a hell of a lot of them.

However, there’s at least one MPNFL player who sits very comfortably across all three categories – Guy Stringer.

On the weekend against Tyabb, Guy Stringer became the first player to reach the 400 game milestone.

In strange circumstances, it was his last game of the season too after he tore his bicep against Rosebud the week before.

He heads in for surgery this week and won’t be seen on the field again in 2015.

However, he made it clear last week that he has no intention of his 400th being his last game.

“I’ll go on again next year,” Guy said.

“With the Nepean League draw the way it is, I feel like I’m playing Super Rules – one week on and one week off. My body feels fantastic and fresh and whilst it feels like this, I’ll continue to play.”

Stringer said reaching milestones was never a consideration when he saddled-up each season.

“I play because I love the game. I love competing. I love winning. I love the people I meet and the friendships I make,” Stringer said.

“I have always said that I want to play as long as I possibly can. Whilst I’m healthy and can make a contribution, I’ll keep playing. That’s the attitude I have always had and I guess the by-product of that is playing a lot of games.”

As well as playing 400 clubs games, Stringer has also played Under 19s at St Kilda, spent three seasons at Frankston Dolphins, played in Darwin, represented Victoria and has played 21 representative games for the MPNFL. Together, he has played 459 senior games and 503 games all up at Under 19, Reserves and Senior level.

Those who have ever played with or against Stringer or had the privilege of watching him since he began in 1989, he uses his body as a battering ram. He never takes a sidewards step, flies for

every ball to mark or spoil, runs and carries like few others can and he always has a team first attitude.

However, regardless of the rigours of footy and the way he thrashes himself around, Stringer’s longest stint on the sidelines was a three-week hamstring injury.

His worst injury was a fractured jaw, care of former St Kilda and Sandringham defender David Grant when he was playing for Frankston. Stringer missed just two weeks with that injury.

For those who know Guy, breaking the 400 game barrier and being the talk of the Peninsula for the past three weeks isn’t something that sits comfortably with him.

“It’s a little uncomfortable for me to be honest. I play the game because I love the team aspect. It’s never been

about me and should never be about me.

“Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciated the accolades and the phone calls and the efforts people at the club have gone to but it is a little embarrassing.”

I asked Guy all the customary questions, which went something like this.

What’s been the highlight of your career?

“Definitely the premierships (six with Sorrento and one with Pines).

You tend to appreciate the ones when you are older a hell of a lot more. I lost five grand finals too so it certainly makes you appreciate the ones you win.

Your biggest influences?

“Definitely my Mum Chloe and Dad Keith. They were huge influences on

my career, Mum (who passed three years ago) especially. She would never miss a game. She saw all my representative games, all my junior games, the lot. Dad was there too all the way. In more recent times my wife Sally and kids Rushton, Archie, Olivia and Emmison. Sally has never had a problem with me training and playing footy. Sally has been sensational. Sorrento Football Club is a family club, not a boys club. So it allows your entire family to be involved and share the experience.”

The best players you’ve played with?

“I’ve been blessed playing with the likes of Tim Allen, Paul Williams, Pat Foy, Brendan Long, Simon Goosey, Claude Samperi, Matty McKay, Paul Theobald, Joey Lane, Mark Berenger,

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Damien Clark, Troy Shannon, Greg Doyle, Jack Marshall, Chris Garrett, Grant Johnson, Scott Cameron, Troy Scwarze – all outstanding players.

Leigh Treeby and Anthony Agius I have a lot of respect for because they were consistent performers week-inweek-out and always perform well in important games.

Your hardest opponent?

Simon Goosey. ‘Goose’ always kept you on your toes and could do the impossible. You could never get ‘Goose’ where you wanted him. He was a great player.

Unfortunately, with his bicep injury, we won’t get to see Stringer in another finals campaign.

Rest assured though at the age of ‘40 something’, he’ll be back out there again in 2016.

Toyota FJ Cruiser is 10,000 times fun ENGINEERED for serious off-road driving capability, the FJ Cruiser pays homage to the LandCruiser FJ40 that was sold in Australia during the 1960s, 70s and early 80s.

Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said FJ Cruiser’s remarkable success is due to a simple, rugged formula that has attracted a loyal following.

“Toyota’s FJ Cruiser has developed a passionate following in Australia as the vehicle for having outdoor fun with its retro-inspired design and serious off-road driving performance,” Mr Cramb said.

“FJ Cruiser turns heads because it embraces the compelling styling themes of the original FJ40 in a contemporary way, including angular lines, round headlights and an upright windscreen with three wiper blades,” he said.

“This modern interpretation of the FJ40 is also fun to drive – whether you are taking advantage of its substantial off-road capability or using its practical driving performance for everyday transport,” he said.

FJ Cruiser features a rugged ladder-frame chassis, part-time 4x4, heavy-duty all-coil suspension, an electrically activated rear differential lock and switchable active traction control technology.

Its ride and handling were developed for local conditions by Australian engineers who cali-

brated the shock absorbers and tuned the power steering for a sporty ride and sharp handling on bitumen while retaining a pliant ride in off-road conditions.

The 31-degree departure angle and 29-degree break-over angle are the best for any vehicle in Toyota’s local 4WD range. Its approach angle of 36 degrees is bettered only by the 70 Series.

Ground clearance is 224mm.

FJ Cruiser is powered by a 200kW, 380Nm twin-cam 4.0-litre V6 petrol engine driven through a five-speed automatic transmission. It uses just 11.4 litres/100km of fuel for a notional range of almost 1,400km from its 159 litres fuel capacity.

Other standard features include six airbags, vehicle stability control, anti-skid brakes, active headrests for the front seats and a reversing camera, plus CRAWL Control for added offroad driving competence.

The FJ Cruiser is also functional with side access doors that open 90 degrees in clamshell fashion for easy access to the rear seat.

Offered in a single grade with a high level of specification, including 17-inch alloy wheels, the FJ Cruiser is priced from $46,990. Metallic paint is $550 extra.

FJ Cruiser is covered by Toyota Service Advantage capped-price servicing at a maximum of $220 per service.
