Vermin outfoxed

by Briars fence THE vermin-proof fence at The Briars Park in Mt Martha is working a treat with no foxes found within the 90-hectare wetland and wildlife sanctuary, says ranger Steve Yorke.

The fence won a Mornington Peninsula Heritage award in May in the category of “Sustainability/ greening of a heritage place”.

The five-kilometre fence, built by Mt Martha Rotary members and Briars rangers and volunteers, cost $25,000, paid for by the Ross Trust.

Wildlife in the sanctuary includes three emus, almost fully grown after arriving from Werribee Open Range Zoo last winter. They replaced chicks that were killed by foxes. Mr Yorke said the emus eat bracken tips, grass and seeds, and are an important way of spreading indigenous vegetation.

The Briars in conjunction with Healesville Sanctuary is planning to reintroduce other native animals including bettongs, potoroos, southern brown bandicoots and pademelons (a small wallaby), all creatures that once lived in the area.

The Briars, owned and operated by Mornington Peninsula Shire, is on the Nepean Highway at Mt Martha (Melway 145 D11) and opens seven days a week 9am-4.30pm. Details: 5974 3686.

Mum rides Palmer wave

By Chris Brennan THE arrival of larger-than-life mining billionaire Professor Clive Palmer to the federal election stage brought much mirth from “serious” political pundits.

His drive for the Lodge was labelled the most audacious since Joh BjelkePetersen’s ill-fated push for in 1987.

But the Mineralogy executive chairman and officially declared National

Living Treasure has made a habit of gaining far greater traction with the general public than allegedly better credentialed experts.

And as Kevin Rudd’s defiant return to the top demonstrated only too clearly, those with the temerity to ignore the better judgement of the faceless men and political commentariat may actually get to enjoy the last laugh and hurl some humble pie.

Despite being a lifetime member of the Queensland National Party with decades of service on the conservative side of politics, including ironically enough a stint as a media adviser to Sir Joh, Palmer announced earlier this year his intention to go his own flamboyant way and stand at the 2013 federal election.

He formed the Palmer United Party as the vehicle for his assault on Can-

berra and vowed to stand candidates in all 150 seats of the House of Representative.

For Frankston and Mornington voters, single working mother Kate Ryder has emerged as the local face of the colourful businessman’s fledgling political machine.

She is the Palmer United Party’s candidate for the federal seat of Dunkley, where she’ll battle Liberal incumbent

Shire’s budget ‘aims to mislead’

By Mike Hast A RATEPAYER group has accused Mornington Peninsula Shire of “deliberately” adopting a budget strategy for 2013-14 “designed to mislead the public”.

The shire proposes a 5.9 per cent lift in the general rate in the dollar. This does not include the 12.5 per cent hike to a major compulsory charge, the municipal charge.

This gives “the appearance of the rate rise being less than 6 per cent”, the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association says.

Calculations show that increasing the municipal charge by $20 to $180 will bring the rates rise to 7.7 per cent.

In a letter to the shire, the group describes the shire move as “a cunning marketing ploy” intended to mask the real increase in rates. Rates notices refer to “rates and charges”, not simply the “rate in the dollar”.

“By stating the rise in this manner, the council knows full well that the

media and community perceive the increase in rates is 5.9 per cent,” the association said.

“We assert that council increased the municipal charge by $20 so it would give the appearance of the rate rise being less than 6 per cent.

“The impact of this ploy is that council is disadvantaging those in the community who are less able to pay.

“The council is more concerned about its image than its impact on the low socio-economic group in our community.”

The letter contains a table showing how the municipal charge has rocketed by a whopping 463 per cent since 2000-01, from $32 to the $180 now proposed. It has effectively become a de facto additional rate impost.

The charge is one of the state’s highest. It compares with wealthy Bayside’s $131, zero in Boroondara, $61.67 in Brimbank and Ararat Rural City’s $80. Some councils strive to keep the charge around $30-40.

Closer to home, the City of Casey did not impose a municipal charge in the current year. Kingston is proposing a $100 charge in 2013-14 and Frankston charged $126.30 in the current year.

The ratepayer group’s letter draws attention to a shire statement that “council’s past practices and decisions regarding rating are underpinned by equitable distribution of the rate burden across the community according to assessment of property value”.

The association says the statement is simply not true.

“Over the past 10 or so years the shire has shifted more of the rate burden to those in the lower socio-economic group by significantly raising the municipal charge in comparison to the increase in the general rate.

“The table shows how the municipal charge has outrageously increased.”

The association’s letter is a submission to the shire’s strategic plan for 2013-17. It criticises the shire’s approach to the plan: “Based on previous

Increase in municipal charge since 2000-01 Year Municipal charge 2000-01 $32 2001-02 $52 2002-03 $62 2003-04 $80 2004-05 $80 2005-06 $95 2006-07 $100 2007-08 $115 2008-09 $130 2009-10 $130 2010-11 $140 2011-12 $150 2012-13 $160 2012-13 $180 Increase 463%

history, it is our opinion that the shire’s strategic plans provide very little value because they are ignored by council.

“To demonstrate our point, we draw the shire’s attention to the comparison of the actual rate increases that have

occurred to those that have been argued as being necessary in previous strategic plans.

“The actual increase in rates ... approved in subsequent budgets is 30 per cent more than shown in the plans.”

The association says the only years when actual rates match strategic plan increases are when “the strategic plan and budget are produced simultaneously”.

“The last strategic plan (2009-13) shows the shire has increased its take from ratepayers (from rates and charges) by about $40 million more than outlined in the strategic plan.”

The shire’s stated aim is to increase rates by no more each year than inflation plus 2 per cent. It almost always substantially exceeds this figure, partly because of its addiction to debt – an addiction councillors have recently forced its management to confront.

Seek legal assistance before the sheriff comes a’knocking PENINSULA Community Legal Centre is urging people with outstanding fines to take action before they find officials from the Sheriff’s Office knocking on their door to seize property, arrest them or clamp their cars.

The centre’s senior lawyer Kate Ross said many people were astonished at the far-reaching powers of the sheriff in relation to outstanding fines.

“Although the sheriff’s power to seize goods is fairly well-known, people are shocked to find their wheels clamped in a shopping centre car park or find their driving licence or car registration has been suspended,” she said.

“Increasingly, we are seeing clients with bundles of fines totalling tens of thousands of dollars, often from driv-

ing on toll roads without an e-tag, traffic infringements or local council fines.

“Many clients are grappling with other problems in their lives but ignoring fines leads to growing costs and can soon reach crisis point, with some even facing jail for non-payment.”

Ms Ross said the legal centre assisted hundreds of people to deal with their fines each year.

“Some clients simply need advice about their legal options, while others need help to arrange a payment plan or assistance applying to court for the fine to be cancelled,” she said.

“We strongly encourage anyone having trouble with unpaid fines to deal with them as soon as possible and seek legal advice if you’re not sure what to do.”

Not-for-profit Peninsula Community Legal Centre provides free advice on most legal issues, with ongoing assistance available for clients experiencing disadvantage. The centre is based in Frankston and has branches in Bentleigh, Cranbourne, Frankston North and Rosebud as well as visiting services in Chelsea and Hastings.

Single mum rides Palmer wave Continued from Page 1 Having grown up on the peninsula, raised three children as a single parent and built a career in sports marketing, Ryder said she was just an ordinary Australian who wanted to help voice the everyday issues families faced.

“I’ve been a bit of a swinging voter, but I always vote with real conviction for the issues that were important,” she said.

“Then I looked at the current situation and thought, for the first time in my life, I can’t vote for any of these people.

“Like many ordinary families, I guess I’ve felt like the government has let us down. I want to vote for a real person and I was over all the career politicians and lobbyists with their backstabbing and self-interest.

But then Clive Palmer and his party hit the national scene, not only reinvigorating her passion to engage in the issues, but motivating her to stand up and get involved at the pointy end of politics.

“I probably would have been a donkey voter had it not been for the Palmer Party. He appealed to me because he’s not looking for lobbyists or career politicians – he’s looking for real people from all walks of life. So if he’s successful, we’ll bring a whole range of real people into politics.

“It would be great for Dunkley voters to have someone who’s like them, who’s walked a mile in their shoes.

“I grew up on the peninsula and I just love the area. My grandparents settled in the Pines [Frankston North] and my mother worked for 23 years for Frankston Community Health Centre so she was always talking to me about issues such as waiting queues.

“My brother Evan was a pretty good footballer with EdiAsp during their really dominant period in the MPNFL [Peninsula Division] when they won back-to-back premierships [1999 and 2000 as well as 2002].

“I remember he was at one end and there was ‘Goose’ [MPNFL legend, Mornington premiership player and now Dolphins coach Simon Goosey].”

Having raised children and seen the issues they faced, Ryder said education and youth affairs were critical issues for her and she wants to help educate and empower people across the community people to look to the future and “have a go”.

Water bill pain for households

By Neil Walker HOUSEHOLDS will be slugged with a sharp jump in water bills starting this month.

The Essential Services Commission ruled retailer South East Water can increase prices by 22.8 per cent from 1 July.

The retailer services bayside suburbs from St Kilda to Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula, parts of the southeast and eastern Gippsland.

The independent regulator decided metropolitan water prices could rise by an average of 22.4 per cent, plus inflation, with the majority of the increase required to recoup the construction of Victoria’s $5.7 billion desalination plant near Wonthaggi built by the Brumby Labor government and Melbourne Water.

The commission flagged a possible 24.8 per cent rise for South East Water customers in a draft decision released in April (‘Steep rises in water costs from July’, The News, 21/05/13).

The final pricing decision means the average annual South East Water bill will rise by $222 to $1196 in 2013-14, according to the commission.

Bills will go up in line with inflation for a further four years until 2017-18, when the commission is due to reassess water prices.

South East Water had lobbied for a 34.9 per cent price rise in 2013-14, but this was rejected by the commission after it identified cost savings that can be made by South East Water and other metropolitan water retailers City West Water, Yarra Valley Water and Western Water.

However, South East Water’s 2013-14 price rise is the second-highest in the metro area, behind Yarra Valley Water’s 24.6 per cent jump and

ahead of Western Water and City West Water increases of 12.3 per cent and 19.2 per cent.

“After the first year increase, price rises will plateau and will only move in line with inflation,” Essential Services Commission chairman Ron Ben-David said.

Victorian Council of Social Service said lowincome households would be hit hardest. “The price increases will hurt those least able to manage the extra expense, including pensioners,” VCOSS acting CEO Carolyn Atkins said.

“The [water] price increases will hurt those least able to manage ... including pensioners.”

– Carolyn Atkins of VCOSS VCOSS is urging the state government to reform a 35 per cent water bills discount currently offered to low-income households to include the latest price rise, not just the cost of inflation.

“A 35 per cent discount on the entire bill, uncapped, would give better assistance to differentsized households and ensure people have equitable access to water,” Ms Atkins said.

The commission conceded some households would face difficulties paying water bills. “We encourage those customers to contact their water business for assistance,” Mr Ben-David said.

Metropolitan retailers have been granted an extra $5 million by the commission to “develop and maintain assistance programs”.

Wiser driver: Driving course coordinator Nancye Gardner helps senior drivers stay behind the wheel.

Picture: Cameron McCullough

Join drive to stay road safe SENIOR drivers aged over 60 are being urged to stay up to date with the latest road rules as part of a free “Keeping Older Drivers Safe and Mobile” seminar in Mornington.

The seminar aims to build older drivers’ selfconfidence and awareness of road safety issues.

A small group of senior drivers will get together to discuss how they can ensure they remain active and independent while ensuring their driving skills are current.

Seniors’ families and friends also are welcome to attend the course, arranged and funded by the TAC, RACV and Roadsafe with the support of Mornington Peninsula Shire.

“Seniors are some of the most responsible

drivers but have to be aware of updated road rules,” course coordinator Nancye Gardner said.

“If you don’t know the road rules, should you be on the road?”

Ms Gardner was keen to stress there are no assessments or tests. “It is just a chance for senior drivers to remember all the road rules with the help of their peers,” she said. “No police officer is going to attend and take your driving licence from you.”  “Keeping Older Drivers Safe and Mobile” is from 10.30am-12.30pm Thursday 25 July at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Bookings essential. Call Nancye Gardner on 5981 2148 or 0419 398 695.

Meeting for Briars patch THE shire’s three Briars Ward councillors are holding a public meeting later this month to present information about various projects.

The ward was created last year and is the amalgamation of Mt Eliza, Mornington and Balcombe (Mt Martha) wards.

The Mt Eliza area representative is Cr Andrew Dixon, 26-year-old the university student who surprisingly defeated Leigh Eustace at the council election last October.

Mornington area councillor Bev Colomb retained her seat as did Mt Martha’s Anne Shaw.

The ward is one of three multi-councillor wards in Mornington Peninsula Shire, all on the Port Phillip side of the peninsula.

It is the first ward meeting since the October election.

Cr Colomb said it had been a busy time since the election with budget deliberations and complex planning matters.

Councillors in multi-member wards had been working on protocols about how to work together, she said.

A shire press release stated: “Briars Ward councillors Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and Bev Colomb look forward to providing updates on various ward projects, and attendees will have the opportunity to hear about what local

community groups are doing in the area.”

Community groups are encouraged to bring newsletters or brochures to distribute.

Cr Colomb said the meeting would be “a good opportunity to meet with residents and catch up with what’s happening around the ward as well as listen to views and comments”.

Councillors would take suggestions from people attending and answer questions.

There would be an opportunity to talk after the formal meeting, she said.

Invitations had been sent to people and groups that had attended past ward meetings.

Shire traffic and planning officers would likely attend.

Councillors are set to adopt the 2013-14 budget on the Monday before the ward meeting and capital works projects in the ward would be outlined, Cr Colomb said.

The Briars Ward meeting is from 1-3pm on Saturday 20 July in the council chamber, Queen St, Mornington.

People wanting to attend must RSVP on 5950 1428 or send an email to councillorsupport@mornpen.vic.gov. au by Wednesday 10 July.

Wave to the screens contractors MORNINGTON pier is a hive of activity as Carrum Downs-based K V Johnson Constructions sets up equipment to install wave screens on both sides of the pier’s new middle section, which replaced the decaying wooden part in 2011. Contractors working for Parks Victoria are fixing more than 70 large concrete screens to both sides of the pier. The long-awaited screens will provide some measure of protection for the harbour from westerly and northerly storms. The project is costing $1.5 million and is expected to take six to eight weeks, weather permitting. There will be limited access for anglers. Picture: Alison Kuiter

Call for youth advisory teamsters MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is seeking people aged between 10 and 25 to join its youth advisory group, which advises the shire about services and facilities.

“We want young people to have a big voice on the Mornington Peninsula,” Andrew Joseph of the shire’s youth services department said.

The group would discuss issues and ideas, and bring a “youth voice” to services and facilities being offered by the shire. “This is a chance to have a say, make a difference in the community and represent the needs of other young people”.

Youth services hosts activities including music and skate events, and

referral services. It manages youth centres in Rosebud (YLounge) and Hastings (Shed 11).

The group will meet monthly from 1 August on Thursdays at 4pm at the Mornington shire office. Applications are due 22 July. Details: Jackie Rickard, 5950 1666 or download a form at www.mpys.com.au/yag

A COMMERCIAL beekeeper has been convicted and fined $8700 for contravening a quarantine notice, exposing infected hive material and failing to maintain detailed records of chemical use.

The offences occurred at a number of locations across Victoria, including the Mornington Peninsula and at Boundary Bend in Sunraysia district.

Frankston Magistrates’ Court was told the beekeeper had failed to comply with a quarantine notice requiring him to move infected hives to an agreed location and retain them in quarantine pending further inspection.

The man was ordered to pay costs of $4500.

The magistrate said the man had committed a serious breach of state quarantine legislation.

Charges were laid following the discovery by Department of Environment and Primary Industries apiary inspectors of American foulbrood disease (AFB) in 72 hives he was using in a commercial pollination service for the Victorian horticulture industry.

In commenting on the seriousness of the beekeeper’s actions, the magistrate noted DEPI inspectors had attempted on a number of occasions to ensure he complied with their directions.

In addition to breaching the quarantine notice, the man was also convicted of failing to retain detailed records of his use of oxytetracycline hydrochloride, a prescription remedy used to treat European foulbrood disease, not the American disease found in the man’s hives.

American foulbrood disease, a notifiable disease under the Livestock Disease Control Act 1994, is a bacterium that infects bee larvae.

Beekeepers suspecting the presence of the disease in their hives must notify the department within 12 hours.

Honey produced in hives infected by AFB does not pose a risk to human health, a DEPI spokesman said.

Once present, AFB spreads rapidly through hives when bees attempting to remove sporeladen dead larvae contaminate hive materials.

Honey in infected hives becomes affected with AFB spores and, as the colony weakens, bees from other hives can opportunistically enter, taking diseased honey back to their hives.

AFB is controlled and eradicated by the isolation and immediate destruction by fire of infected hives.

Election boundaries VICTORIA’S Electoral Boundaries Commission has released proposed state electoral boundaries for public comment.

The commission is undertaking a redivision of state electoral boundaries, the first for 13 years.

Paul Thornton-Smith of the commission said the aim of the redivision was to “restore all electorates to approximate equality in numbers of electors, while taking account of other legislated factors such as community of interest and likely population changes”.

The redivision will ensure each vote in state elections has an equal value and that each elector is represented equally in the Parliament.

Boundary changes have been proposed for all three Mornington Peninsula electorates – Mornington, Hastings and Nepean (southern peninsula).

Public comment must be received by 29 July.

After considering comments, final boundaries will be published in October and will be used at the Victorian general election in November 2014.

Hard copies of the proposed boundaries are on display at Mornington Peninsula Shire offices in Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud. Information is online at: ebc.vic.gov.au

Tip site: The old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana, which Peninsula Waste Management, a company owned by the Ross Trust, wants to use as a municipal rubbish tip.

The proposal, currently before the EPA and Mornington Peninsula Shire, has generated intense opposition.

Stay silent on tip, shire warns councillors

By David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have been cautioned not to tell their constituents what they think about using an old Arthurs Seat quarry as a rubbish tip and not to give advice on the contentious proposal.

In a document entitled Proposed Landfill Boundary Road Dromana, councillors have been told “it is not appropriate for council, councillors or council officers to provide advice to any party involved, or interested, in a particular development application or approval process”.

The advice effectively gags councillors from discussing the tip.

At least one councillor has refused to answer questions from his ward resi-

dents about the tip application, which is currently before the state Environment Protection Authority.

Tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management is also seeking approval from the shire.

The shire document states, under the headline “How can council help members of the community oppose the proposed landfill?”: “Council cannot fulfil its statutory duty as a responsible authority if it supports any particular party involved in a development application process.

“Council, and individual councillors, must approach the proposal with an open mind. Council could not be considered free of prejudice or bias if it favoured one party over another or it provided assistance to one party it did

not offer to all other parties.

“Council cannot make a valid decision under the Planning and Environment Act as responsible authority if it is biased.”

The document states rules “set out in legislation” specify what and how “materials relevant to an application must be made available for viewing by the public”.

“Council once again must comply with these requirements or the decision-making by council could be challenged by affected parties” – that is, an ill-advised councillor comment could involve the shire in legal action.

The document also warns councillors about their responsibility to avoid conflicts of interest.

“There are long established rules,

and legal precedents, about how council and individual councillors must conduct themselves when decisions are to be taken.

“Critically it is important that council, and individual councillors, note and acknowledge when a conflict of interest exists and to act in accordance with the rules.

“It is also important that those councillors taking part in the decision-making process do so with an open mind and able to take a decision without prejudice or bias.”

Peninsula Waste Management, a fully owned subsidiary of R E Ross Trust, which operates Hillview Quarries, wants to use its Pioneer quarry as a tip for rubbish from the peninsula as well as other municipalities.

The plan has caused widespread concern and is being vigorously opposed on grounds including pollution of groundwater and a creek, odour, bushfire risk, traffic and noise.

The council document does not mention that five councillors sit on the board of Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Management Group, of which the shire is the sole member. Cr David Gibb chairs the group.

The shire website also does not record which councillors are on the MPRWMG board.

Proposed Landfill Boundary Road Dromana is similarly silent on group membership and whether the five face a conflict of interest problem when councillors eventually vote for or against the proposed quarry tip plan.

AROUND THE REGION

Three happy families as Habitat

Plan for profound change: Mavis Peet of Habitat for Humanity with the architect’s plans for the housing project at Crib Point. Picture: Toni Brient

By Toni Brient THREE struggling families are about to receive a level of community support they’ll never forget.

Thanks to the Mornington Peninsula chapter of Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit housing organisation, the families will soon be first-time homeowners of new houses in Crib Point.

After reaching agreement with peninsula building company Teekay Builders, Habitat’s peninsula branch said it was hoped to “dig the first hole” at the Stony Point Rd site by the end of July.

“We’d definitely be looking at a site cut and fill by July,” said site manager Troy Kloszynski of Teekay, who is volunteering his services to Habitat.

Mavis Peet of Habitat said the vacant, triangle-shaped block would hold two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses.

Each will have a weatherboard exterior with a Colorbond roof, solar panels for hot water, carport and landscape garden. All three houses will have a six-star energy rating.

Concrete driveways will open to Campbell St, and there will be gates in the property’s paling fence to allow pedestrian access to Stony Point Rd. The families will have the chance to work with Habitat to choose some features of the house, like paint and carpet colours.

“They’re all brand new homes, and we try to do all we can to make the houses as up-to-date as we can,” Miss Peet said.

“But they’re not over the top: we don’t have spa baths and we don’t put

dishwashers in – we leave a space.

“It gives them a hand up, not a handout.”

Habitat works in Australia and overseas to provide affordable housing for low-income families. The organisation runs op shops and conducts charitable activities to fund community housing projects.

The houses are sold to needy families through a no-interest loan at five per cent below market value. The loan is repaid to Habitat in installments proportionate to a quarter of the families’ incomes, with no fixed term.

“Our partner families pay a small deposit of $1000,” Habitat Victoria executive director Philip Curtis said.

“The repayments are capped at 25 per cent of the family income, whether they receive it weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

“We work around the idea of making sure it’s affordable rather than accelerating loan repayments.”

The “mortgage” repayments are used by Habitat in part to finance other housing projects.

Much of the labour for Habitat homes comes from volunteers who are trained and supervised by professionals.

In addition to Mr Kloszynski, it’s expected that a number of local tradespeople will donate their time or work at a discount.

As part of their agreement with Habitat, selected families must also contribute 500 hours of labour or “sweat equity” as it’s called by Habitat.

Habitat has agreements with companies like Whirlpool and Bunnings to donate or discount building materials

and household items.

Miss Peet said Dulux had agreed to donate interior and exterior paint for the Crib Point houses.

“Most of the trades and supplies are from the southern peninsula,” said Mr Kloszynski, who is negotiating with local companies like Mitre 10 to secure building materials.

Habitat Victoria, the central office that oversees the state’s local branches, purchased the quarter-acre block on the

“These people would never own their own home. They never have enough money to put a deposit down.

The banks wouldn’t lend them the money.”

– Mavis Peet of Habitat for Humanity corner of Stony Point Rd and Campbell St for $191,500 from estate agent Harcourts Hastings in April 2011.

Last July, Habitat held a public meeting in Crib Point and 21 families submitted applications to purchase one of the houses.

Three months later, Habitat told three families their applications had been successful.

Philip Curtis said the value of the three houses differed slightly, according to their size. He would not disclose the exact price, but said it was “around

for Humanity builds in Crib Point the high $200,000s: $290,000, maybe a bit more”.

One of the families lives in Crib Point and two live in Mornington.

Miss Peet said all three families were eager to begin the building process.

“They’ve all been very patient, with one in very difficult circumstances of an overcrowded house,” she said.

“It’s a big thing for them. As they see the frames go up, then it gets exciting.”

Habitat Victoria began work on the plans for the Crib Point houses with McLauchlan & Associates of Mt Waverly in late 2012.

The preliminary building plans were received by Habitat Victoria in February.

Habitat said building permits were approved by Mornington Peninsula Shire on 27 February.

Miss Peet said she received the longawaited plans in April.

She had spent the past few months at the Habitat op shop in Rosebud – which is also the Mornington Peninsula chapter headquarters – organising builders, electricians, plumbers and an army of volunteers.

Mornington-based Gilpip Homes is constructing the frame for one of the houses.

Habitat is talking with builders about the other two frames. Mr Kloszynski said he hoped to finalise contracts by the end of the week.

Despite admitting it’s a “stretch”, Habitat hopes to have the families in

by Christmas 2014.

The 18-month schedule is six months less than the usual completion date for a three-house development.

The official handover of houses to

families would be a “life-changing” event, Miss Peet said.

“Anyone who came to what we call a house dedication, when the keys are handed over, would have to be very tough if they didn’t shed a tear.”

The Stony Point Rd development is the Habitat branch’s fourth project. Its first two, built in the 1990s, were also in Crib Point.

Since Miss Peet joined Habitat in 2001, four more houses have been built in the region: two in Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud, and two in Taranna St, Mornington.

Miss Peet estimated 22 children had been housed in the six Habitat homes.

She saw the lives of Habitat home recipients drastically changed.

“Otherwise, these people would never own their own home. They never have enough money to put a deposit down. The banks wouldn’t lend them the money.”

She told about the day a nine-yearold boy and his mother settled in their Habitat house after a history of constantly moving to rental properties.

“He said, ‘Mum does that mean we never, ever, ever have to leave this house?’

“They can hang a picture on the wall, which you can’t do in a rental place.

He could have his own dog.”

Habitat receives no government assistance to provide affordable housing for every family who applies.

“We don’t build quick enough, unfortunately,” Miss Peet said.

Construction of the Crib Point houses will be financed by funds raised at the Habitat op shop in Rosebud as well as funds from Habitat Victoria.

Council referendum question ready to go LEGISLATION for a referendum to recognise councils and shires in the Constitution passed the federal parliament on Monday last week.

It will be held in conjunction with the federal election. Voters will be asked to vote yes or no to adding 17 words (in bold below) to the Constitution: â&#x20AC;&#x153;96. Financial assistance to States and local government bodies During a period of ten years after the establishment of the Commonwealth and thereafter until the Parliament otherwise provides, the Parliament may grant financial assistance to any State, or to any local government body formed by a law of a State, on such terms and conditions as the Parliament thinks fit.â&#x20AC;?

Federal Local Government Minister Anthony Albanese said federal governments had for more than 40 years â&#x20AC;&#x153;worked in partnership with councils and shires to deliver essential community infrastructure and servicesâ&#x20AC;?.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This includes ... local roads, bridges, sports facilities, public libraries, swimming pools and childcare centres,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Albanese said there would be no change to the role of the states in regard to the administration of councils.

It will enable the federal government to directly fund local government without going through the state government as is presently the case.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has contributed $20,000 to a Municipal Association of Victoria fund in support of the change.

The contribution has been criticised by peninsula MP Martin Dixon who said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;really disappointing to see [the shire] using $20,000 of ratepayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money to fund the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; caseâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All a successful â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case will deliver to Canberra is more power and control over local government. It is fanciful to think that giving more power to Canberra will result in more funding for councils.â&#x20AC;?

AROUND THE REGION

Dromana pier petition goes to the parliament A PETITION calling for replacement of Dromana’s pier and signed by almost 7000 people has been tabled in state parliament.

The petition was created by the Association for Building Community in Dromana’s Save the Dromana Pier campaign, which started last August soon after it was told by Parks Victoria the 1960 pier had concrete cancer and could be closed within eight years if not repaired.

The tabling of the petition was organised by Nepean MP Martin Dixon but carried out by his Liberal colleague David Morris, the MP for Mornington, as Mr Dixon is a minister and cannot table petitions due to parliamentary rules.

Save the Dromana Pier committee chairman Ray Barnard-Brown said the campaign was started after the demolition at short notice of the tower on Arthurs Seat last August.

“The tower was pulled down after Parks Victoria said it had concrete cancer and could not be saved,” he said.

“The association decided the same fate could meet the pier, which also has concrete cancer. It is caused by moisture penetrating the concrete and corroding reinforcing steel. Rust produced by the corrosion expands and causes the concrete to split and eventually fall away, allowing the corrosion to accelerate until the concrete is no longer safe to use.”

Mr Barnard-Brown said the campaign was designed to bring the matter to the attention of the public in and around Dromana.

“Hopefully, it will create a demand by the public that the pier must be replaced immediately after it is demolished. This is likely to occur within eight to 10 years, perhaps less.”

He said Parks Victoria was “willing to replace the pier but funds must be available to do so without delay or the replacement will be deferred and perhaps never carried out”.

“Imagine Dromana without the pier – it cannot be allowed to happen.

“Mr Dixon said the 7000-signature petition was the second or third biggest he could remember.

“The tabling of the petition closes phase 1 of the Save the Dromana Pier committee’s work and it must now endeavour to keep the issue before the public over the coming years until the pier is replaced.”

A pier of some kind has existed at Dromana since 1862. It was once the second-longest on Port Phillip at 1200 metres.

It was used by fishing boats and had a rail line to move timber and other goods onto cargo ships.

It hosted the famous paddlesteamers Golden Crown, Lonsdale, Ozone, Hygeia and Weeroona during the golden age of sea travel on Port Phillip between the 1880s and 1942 when the last steamer, Weeroona, ceased operating.  For details of the campaign, contact Association for Building Community in Dromana, PO Box 150, Dromana 3936 or email: barnardbrown9@bigpond.com

Pool foreshore site off preferred list

By Mike Hast SHIRE councillors have removed the Rosebud foreshore site as the preferred location for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA).

The move at the 11 June council meeting reverses a decision made in March 2012.

It was led by the shire’s youngest councillor, Andrew Dixon, 26, who was elected to one of three seats in the Briars Ward last October.

The decision puts the inland site at Wannaeue Place (Rosebud Central shopping centre) on an equal footing with the foreshore site.

Councillors will consider the two sites at a workshop on 23 July before again debating the long-running project at a subsequent council meeting.

Last year the council bought Rosebud Central for $5.1 million and two buildings in adjacent Ninth Avenue as a possible alternative site for SPA. The shopping centre is occupied by 10 specialty shops and Ritchies IGA supermarket, whose lease expires in July.

Council officers have been preparing

Mornington

Southern Peninsula

a comparison of the two sites.

In his notice of motion, Cr Dixon said abandoning the foreshore site would “break the deadlock that has plagued this project and the council for too long”.

He also called for a report on ways to raise extra revenue to allow SPA to be built, which could include “the inclusion of additional ground floor commercial space, second-floor leisure and community space, and multi-level residential space”.

“With the right approach to commercial and residential real estate, the centre may be able to cover losses generated by other community infrastructure, like Pelican Park [in Hastings] or our library network,” he said.

Cr Dixon’s call for this report was not supported by his colleagues and lapsed.

During the election campaign, Cr Dixon said he did not support SPA on the foreshore or at any other location but has since voted for it on two occasions. His move has surprised council watchers who thought he would continue supporting the foreshore site.

During debate, Cr Hugh Fraser said

he supported Cr Dixon as circumstances had changed since the vote in 2012.

There had been a geotechnical report that had revealed a number of problems with the foreshore, he said.

Piles for SPA would have to be sunk 14 metres, adding 15 to 25 per cent to the centre’s total cost.

The report Port Phillip Coastal Adaptation Pathways Program released earlier this year, which studied the Murray-Anderson Basin (Rosebud and McCrae), had warned that 74 per cent of land could be flooded between now and 2100, he said.

Peninsula Link freeway had opened in January and Frankston Council’s $50 million aquatic centre was now just 30 minutes by road.

The budget estimates showed the shire’s Pelican Park aquatic centre in Hastings was losing $850,000 a year.

Information about SPA from 2005 was now out of date, Cr Fraser said.

Cr David Gibb, champion of the SPA foreshore site, said Cr Dixon’s motion was naïve but he understood his motive.

No decision should be made until after the workshop on 23 July, he said.

“I’m happy for SPA to be built on the foreshore or at Wannaeue Place,” he said.

Building at Wannaeue Place would be more expensive, he said.

He called the Port Phillip Coastal Adaptation Pathways Program report a “beat-up”. Flooding of Rosebud and McCrae would only occur if four things occurred at once, which was remote, he said.

Cr Tim Rodgers was almost apoplectic when he spoke. “The Port Phillip Coastal Adaptation report is not a beat-up,” he said.

He asked Cr Gibb if he was asleep at the report workshop, drawing a rebuke from meeting chairman Cr Lynn Bowden about making personal remarks.

“Sea level rise is one issue and the AECOM report [into building the pool on the foreshore] has raised other issues,” Cr Rodgers said.

He said SPA would cost an extra $7 million on the foreshore.

Broad-based community support for the foreshore site has yet to be proved, he said.

Cr Frank Martin said he had built

two buildings at Port Melbourne and didn’t see the foreshore site as a problem. “You just drive the piles down until refusal,” he said.

“Venice was built on piles and it’s still standing,” he said.

Cr Anne Shaw said she believed in sea level rise but the design life of SPA was 50 years.

“The pool at Frankston doesn’t help our young people,” she said.

Cr Bev Colomb said the SPA saga had been characterised by a lack of information. “We still haven’t had conversations with experts,” she said.

There was a regional aquatic centre proposed for the Fleurieu Peninsula [in South Australia; being built by the City of Victor Harbour] and the council had said to residents “if you want a pool, this is what it will cost and these are the ongoing costs”.

Cr Colomb said this had not happened with SPA. “Many seaside towns wouldn’t consider major infrastructure on the foreshore.”

Cr Dixon’s motion passed 5-4. Cr Graham Pittock was not in the chamber and Cr David Garnock was on leave.

Possum on the menu as owl numbers decline ANALYSIS of droppings from a powerful owl pair and their young in the Hastings area reveals 96 per cent of their diet is ringtail possums.

The story is contained in the June edition of Mornington Peninsula Birdlife newsletter.

Josh Gunn, a conservation ranger with Mornington Peninsula Shire, reported that after finding the owls “we decided to collect the owl pellets and have them analysed to gain an insight into the owl’s diet”.

“We also thought this would be a good way to see what mammals were present in the reserve.

“The majority of the pellets were collected from under the roost site of the juvenile owl.”

Tests were conducted by renowned Frankston zoologist Hans Brunner, one of the world’s fore-

most experts on mammal hair analysis.

After developing a technique for identifying the hair of mammals, Mr Brunner wrote a landmark book in 1974, The Identification of Mammalian Hair, which is still used today by animal forensic experts around the world.

“The analysis involves teasing the pellets apart to separate the hairs,” Mr Gunn said.

“The diagnostic features of the hairs are then analysed to identify which species the hairs belong to. These features include hair length, hair colour and shape of the cross-section of the hair, which is observed through a microscope.

“Of 27 pellets analysed, 96 per cent contained ringtail possum and 9 per cent contained brushtail possum. There were also some feathers and insect

“After further investigation of the powerful owl diet, I found the results align with their average diet.”

Mr Gunn said arboreal [tree-living] mammals make up more than 90 per cent of the powerful owl’s diet.

“Of this, ringtail possum is the greatest component, consisting of between 65 and 90 per cent.

“The greater glider is next, then sugar glider and brushtail possum respectively.

One scheme.

One focus on individuals.

One commitment to lifelong support.

From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?

DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

component of the diet, which is most likely to be due to a greater abundance.

“In many cases it is juvenile brushtail possums that are targeted by being plucked from the backs of their parents.”

Mr Gunn said other sources of powerful owl food included young koalas, flying foxes, antechinus, rats, rabbits, invertebrates and a wide variety of birds.

“The Hastings powerful owls are thought to have been in the area for at least two years with reports from neighbouring residents seeing them in their backyards.

“Whether they just use this area for breeding or are permanent residents of the reserve is unknown.

“Future monitoring will hopefully give us a better idea of how this area is used by the owls and their breeding success.”

Mr Brunner said some of the pellets contained bones 40mm long, which showed they came from large adult owls.

On Radio Port Phillip’s Environment Show, Danny Vitz of BirdLife Mornington Peninsula said a recent survey revealed there were 16 nesting sites of powerful owls on the peninsula but just three breeding pairs had been sighted.

Mornington Peninsula field ecologist and mammal expert Mal Legg said powerful owls were listed as vulnerable on the peninsula.

“They mainly live in the hinterland at places like Red Hill and Main Ridge but have been seen as far south as Point Nepean,” he said.

A powerful owl pair could have a range of up to 1000 hectares.

Mr Brunner said he was not surprised at the low number of owls.

“Ringtail possums have died in their thousands in the past three years during heatwaves,” he said.

Who is eligible?

DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?

No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?

No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?

DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ................... People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW...........................

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy.

On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system.

Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value.

All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services.

GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Lost in Westerport Bay, Glasgow woman fined over suspicious dealings Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, July 5 1913.

THE following article, bearing on the letter under the above heading appearing in our columns on 28th June, is taken from the “Woonthaggi Criterion”:“In last Thursday’s ‘Age’ a passenger on the SS Genista from Cowes to Stony Point (a 20 minutes voyage), related a blood-curdling experience of the sea under the title of ‘Lost in Westernport’. It appears that the steamer was beset by a fog which lasted some minutes, and the engines were slowed down for a short time. Meanwhile the vessel was drifting on the placid waters of the land-locked bay and dreadful visions of the fate of the Titanic arose in the writer’s mind. But he did not entirely lose his head. He carefully counted the life buoys, life belts, floating seats and life boat; but alas! they were all inadequate, for there were seven passengers on board and the result of the examination was only an increase of his alarm. ‘The horrible fact dawned upon us,’ he says, ‘that we were lost at sea, drifting heaven knows whether, at the mercy of wind and wave, heatless, compassless, and unfriended,’ for his critical eye had judged the compass to be out of order. All at once the Genista, which had never been more than three or four miles from terra firma, landed her passengers in safety, and the woefully befunked seafarer was able to breathe again. No more harrowing story of the perils of the sea has been written since the recital of the lamentable Wreak of the Puffin’ Billy in the 12ft square pond of a London garden. One shudders to think what would happen to

this alarmist traveller if he appeared to be lost in a fog in a quarter acre Gippsland paddock, with no human habitation nearer than 15 yards. *** A WOMEN was fined at Glasgow under the Children’s Act for selling to little boys of seven and nine a composition of dandelion and other substances, with the name of ‘The Boy’s Smoking Mixture.’ *** MESSRS A. Perrott and Co., have purchased the butchering business at Hastings lately carried on by Mr F. Piper. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will conduct their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, 9th July. Particulars are advertised. *** LARGE quantities of Swede turnips have been grown in the Somerville district this season, and have proved profitable to the growers. Winter spraying has been started, and orchardists would appreciate a fine spell of weather. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son will conduct an auction sale at Hastings on Friday and Saturday next, July 11th and 12th, when, under instruction from Mr M. O’Neill, they will offer for sale his stock of drapery, groceries, etc. The same firm will also, on 18th July, offer for sale the stock, plant and furniture of Mr A. E. Hitchins, on his farm three miles from Bittern. *** VOTERS’ Lists and Separate Voters’ Lists are now open for inspection between the 8th and 14th July, for the following ridings of the Shire of

Frankston and Hastings:- North Riding, Shannon’s Store; Centre Riding, P.O. Somerville; East Riding, P.O. Hastings. The same can be inspected between the same dates at the Mornington shire hall for the Shire of Mornington. *** THE Frankston Brass Band will play selections in Bay Street, Frankston, on this Saturday evening (weather permitting). *** DESPITE the low prices ruling for fruit through the early part of this season, there is no diminuition in the demand for fruit trees. There seems to be no end to the quantity despatched from the Somerville district. *** THERE have been a number of cases of tonsilitis in the Somerville district lately, and the last to fall a victim is our genial State School teacher, Mr G. Reed. The school has been closed temporarily. *** THE Rabbit Inspector (Mr J. Kelleher) has drawn our attention to a slight error in the article headed ‘A Talk with the new Rabbit Inspector.’ The words ‘lay thickly in a burrow’ should read ‘lay thickly in a furrow.’ He has also informed us that a shallow, narrow furrow is the best. *** THE Frankston Club has now completed its preparations, and is to open its new billiards room tonight at 7.30.

In our advertising columns the club announces its intention of having the billiards room open every evening from 7.30. The table is full size, one of Alcock’s best, and in perfect order, having had only a few months’ use.

*** ACCORDING to our advertising columns, a splendid opportunity is given housewives during the present month for obtaining drapery, boots, shoes, ironmongery, crockery, groceries, etc, at ridiculously low prices at A. Nunn and Sons’ sale, Mornington, which commences on Monday next, the 7th inst. For full particulars see our advertising columns. *** ON Wednesday afternoon at the Mornington golf links, Mr Townsend, on behalf of the members of the club, presented Mr D. J. B. Tait with a handsome set of ebony Military brushes suitably inscribed on a silver plate, in recognition of his valuable services as hon sec. and treas. to the golf club during the past two years. Mr and Mrs Tait were also entertained at afternoon tea (at the links) by the ladies. *** THE Minister of Lands on Thursday received a deputation from the Phillip Island and Woolamai shire; introduced by Mr Downward, M.L.A. The deputation asked that about 700 acres of land near the Woolamai railway station, on the Woithiggi line, should be made available for settlement. It was of no use for mining, for which it was locked up, but it would provide several farms. A block might be retained for the erection of a school. Mr McKenzie promised to confer wilh the Ministers of Mines and Education regarding the requests. *** THE annual social gathering of the Tyabb and Hastings Fruitgrowers Association was held in the hall on Friday week last. It is easily seen that this social has the effect of providing

an enjoyable evening for a greater number of the leading residents of the district than any other that is held during the year. Almost every resident for miles round is now a member of the association, and at the annual social they may all be seen, both young and old, dancing and singing until the early hours, and then when tired out, express the fact that they have had a most enjoyable evening. There was not however quite as many present on this occasion, especially from the Hastings district. During the interval between the dances, songs were contributed by Mr H. Schmidt and Miss Doris Unthank, recitations by Mr Boe and a very appropriate address on Tyabb’s first show by Mr Boe, and a stepdance by Cr Cole. A sumptuous laid out supper was provided by the ladies, and was heartily enjoyed about midnight.

At the ordinary monthly meeting of the association, held on the 19th, Mr H. H. Halfield, of the Vacuum Oil Co., delivered a very interesting lecture on spraying oils and the way in which they are prepared. The assistant chemist, of the same company, had also intended to be present and give practical demonstrations showing how the various preparations are distilled from the crude oil, but unfortunately missed the train at the last moment, but Mr Hadfield promised that on some future occasion he would make arrangements for another demonstration of the same kind, and make sure that the chemist and the “still” would be present. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr Hatfield, for his very interesting address.

Frog day afternoon: painting myself into a corner

By Stuart McCullough I HAVE no idea what we were thinking. Neither of us had started the day declaring that we needed to find and purchase the worst piece of art in the known universe. Particularly one that featured as its subject that most mysterious and mythical of creatures: the frog.

But by the time the sun had been swallowed by the earth, we had done exactly that. I can only attribute our decision to part with an amount of money in exchange for a painting that neither of us liked to look at, much less wanted to own, as being the result of panic on my part.

I’m not even sure of its official title. But if I had to guess, I’d say it was something along the lines of Frog Conference, as it features four amphibians sitting on lily pads in a swamp, presumably discussing matters of importance such as the impact of the high Australian dollar on the export market or, possibly, whether anyone from Team Joel has a cinder’s chance in hell of winning The Voice. Some works of art are hypnotic; they make it almost impossible to look away. This one defied convention and

seemed to actively spurn eye contact.

How we became the owners of this abomination says a lot about how eager we are not to disappoint others. We were driving through the countryside when we spotted a small bluestone building promising both “art” and “craft”. This, as things transpired, was putting things far too highly. However, it’s true to say that a store of this kind will rarely take an entirely honest approach to its contents. It’s enough to say that

you never see shops offering “bad pottery” or “dud paintings”.

The warning signs were obvious, even if the one at the front of the shop was not. As we entered, the guy behind the counter looked surprised if not a little alarmed to see us. It was immediately apparent that we were the first people to step inside for quite some time. A small stereo sat on the counter and the sounds of Pour Some Sugar On Me by pop-metal poodles Def Leppard trick-

led out. The walls were lined with shelves and gave you the sense that the room was starting to close in on itself. Every available surface was covered with objects, all of which were equally hideous to the eye.

There were pottery frogs of every conceivable shape, size and dimension. It was as if we had stumbled into some kind of small-town cult where amphibians were regarded as deities to be worshipped. And, of course, turned into pottery figurines that sold for $12 a pop.

Having been initially alarmed at our appearance, the gentleman at the front counter had now decided to talk up the place, asking us what we thought. A thousand descriptors sprang to mind, but the only one to escape my lips was, “It’s lovely”. A sign hanging from one of the shelves declared that if you break something, you’ve bought it. For a moment I thought this was an invitation. Perhaps others had been so outraged by mediocre ceramic amphibians that they were unable to contain their anger, smashing pottery frogs to spare others from a fate worse than Def Leppard before being hauled away.

He began to follow us as we walked through the store.

Whether he had us pegged as potential shoplifters or simply hadn’t seen other people in such a long time and had forgotten how to interact, I couldn’t say.

Whatever the reason, it created a pressure-cooker environment, one in which we felt compelled to do anything other than leave empty-handed.

Pottery was clearly out of the question – what possible use could I have for a ceramic frog? Whereas a painting of several frogs hanging out and discussing the weather is something you can use every day.

After a couple of laps to try and lose the shop assistant, we settled for a painting. To suggest that it was possibly the best of a bad bunch doesn’t really do it justice. I was probably holding it, thinking to myself how extremely vulgar and – to be frank – incredibly brown the piece was when the man who ran the store asked whether he should run it through the register.

For a moment, I couldn’t speak. Perhaps there was a frog in my throat. Given the circumstances, it would be no surprise if one of those little

GROUP FITNESS

beggars had managed to slip in and take up residence in my oesophagus. “Thanks,” was all I managed to utter. Like lightning, the man had whipped the painting out of my hands and was wiping away the cobwebs from the register. It was too late; I was stuck.

When we got home a few days later, Frog Conference was given pride of place.

Which, in our house, just so happens to under the bed along with the emergency toolkit, some old sneakers and the free weights I no longer use.

It was by chance that I stumbled across it a few days ago.

It remains as stubbornly ugly as the day we first bought it. Oscar Wilde once wrote that “all art is quite useless”. I suspect he wrote those words while staring at a print of Frog Conference and listening to Pour Some Sugar On Me. I think he had a point. I have no idea what to do with the thing. My fear is that, some time in the future, I will overlook someone’s birthday and need a gift at short notice. Should I ever give you a painting of a bunch of frogs, let me simply say in advance: better you than me. www.stuartmccullough.com

A Grain of Salt I WAS never big on Lady Julia. I’ve worked with and under females for years; in theatre, racetracks and union committee meetings. Bosses and equals; some good, some not so good, like men. I liked her as Deputy PM; she answered the questions, but I figured back then she would be a different kettle of fish as numero ono; more of an instinct based on past experiences. A dyed in the wool leftwing unionist; not an enemy, but a hardline opponent. I was sad when her lot shoved it up Kevvy, the wowser who cost me a fortune in cigarettes. He didn’t deserve that, albeit he was into self-love.

All up she’s done more good things than messy ones but overall is low on my list of heroes. I’m a Labor voter, or more to the point I’d never vote for the Conservatives. It’s all very messy at the moment, both sides, with the waters further muddied by the media vultures. We wait and watch. *** FROM NSW rugby league skipper Paul Gallen after being suspended for one match for fighting: “It’s a man’s game.”

Mark Robinson, Herald Sun football reporter, repeats this mantra on a weekly basis. So what does it mean

aside from telling us they’re in favour of thuggery? I suspect both would use another ridiculous phrase when it suits them, like “It’s un-Australian”. Maybe there’s an inference as to their misogynous thinking? The Australian women’s cricket team plays a tough brand of cricket. One wonders what the boys would say if they went the biff. *** IT’S all a bit weird really. We have our mates (the Yanks) on the attack with Edward Snowden and Julian Assange classed as the epitome of evil while at the same time our American mates are reading this column on my computer.

I liked this one, from Adrian Tabor in Point Lonsdale: “My wife sent me a shopping list in an email. I lost it. Will the AFP find it for me, please?”

In fairness I should mention that while Assange supporters hold him up as a banner of truth, they don’t seem to mind that he doesn’t apply his same principles to accessing Chinese or Russian secrets. *** INTERESTING to read of Nathan Buckley’s talk of “non-negotiables” and the leadership group. “It gives the players ownership of their destiny and the way they want to go about their

football and the values they expect to adhere.”

Apparently they have this “leading teams” group overseeing this philosophy. I’m wondering how all this will shape up if (say) our captain or one or two others of the leadership group lose form? Human nature is never far away? *** TONY: “A country working and paying taxes from day one.”

Let’s hope this includes everyone, like illegal drug pushers and fixing those tax avoidance schemes.

Here on our glorious Mornington Peninsula (despite a Third World bus service), a cash economy abounds out of necessity. If the cost of my cappuccino increases by 50 cents, bang goes another $200 a year.

As far as I know, Cerberus was named after a mythical, three-headed dog guarding the gates to hell. It stands to reason therefore if we relocate our naval establishment to the tip of Point Nepean we will go a long way toward stopping the boats?

Those who interest me are Brian Quinn, Clinton Condon, Frank De Stefano, Dick Pratt, Steve Vizard and Alan Bond, all super-rich men before the event that caused their reputation to be tarnished.

I ask myself why, with all the money (and power) they have as a comfort and part of their everyday lifestyle – something that 99 per cent of us will never have – do they lie and cheat to accumulate even more?

An apartment 270 metres above Melbourne is for sale at $18 million; Eureka Tower. The entire 84th floor no less; swisho everything including uninterrupted views extending to LahLah Land.

If they offerred it to me with a rental deal at $100 a week and the proviso that I must live there for five years (health and holidays permitting), I’d tell them to go jump. Those half dozen disgraced men could have bought something like this, if they didn’t already have it, but no, they settle to

By Cliff Ellen cheat to accumulate more. Fascinating. *** THE anorexic idealisation of women is not my cup of green tea. Betty Grable, even Mae West for me.

When your mother asks, “Do you want a piece of advice?” it’s a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it.

Passion without commitment is useless.

“I met an old lady once, almost 100 years old, and she told me, ‘There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. How much do you love me?

And who’s in charge?’” (Elizabeth Gilbert).

Bulls put Redlegs to the sword as Mornington’s season slips away PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly KARINGAL has jumped back into the top three after smashing Mt Eliza by almost 10 goals in Peninsula League.

In the past six weeks, Mt Eliza has been the most consistent and dominant side in the competition, but Karingal put the Redlegs to the sword on Saturday.

It was an emphatic victory for the Bulls, 18.9-117 to 9.4-58, who once again proved their best is good enough to win the flag.

Small forward Dale Alanis was brilliant for his side with six goals, while Chris Hay’s inclusion in the team in the past fortnight has straightened up the Bulls.

Grant Goodall was at his dominant best in the ruck, while David Hirst has also hit a purple patch of form after a slow start to the season. It was also good to see coach Brendan Dunne back in familiar territory, dominating proceedings in defence.

The Bulls choked the free-running Redlegs through the middle, preventing key target Scott Lockwood from having one-out tussles all afternoon. Lockwood was restricted to one goal.

Jimmy Clayton and Rohan Heasley were the best of the Redlegs while Sam Gill was again among the team’s better performers.

The loss has seen the Redlegs drop

from outright second, where they were a game clear, to fifth position, 21 per cent behind Bonbeach, which claimed second place.

Edithvale-Aspendale got back onto the winner’s list, ending Mornington’s season on Saturday.

The Eagles opened the game in lively fashion, leading by three goals at quarter time and by five goals at the major break.

However, with its season on the line, Mornington hit back in the third and got within a point at the change.

Michael Altenkirch, Anthony Simpson and Daniel Moss were up and about for the Dogs while Smeeton and Forato racked up possessions.

The Eagles settled the better in the last quarter through the likes of Matt Kremmer in attack with five goals, Nick Connellan in the back line and man mountain Markham Johnson in the ruck.

In a tense final quarter, the visitors ran out winners 12.15-87 to 10.14-74.

Mornington coach Stuart Seagar refused to concede his team’s season was over.

“Things are very tough for us now, sitting two games outside the five, but I still believe in the group and that our best is good enough against the top sides,” he said.

“While we don’t like to use excuses, the reality is that we have been hit pretty hard by injuries.

“The loss of Warwick Miller overseas hurt us because he’s one of the best three players in the competition, and I think people underestimate the loss of Josh McLerie, who was sensational for us down back.

“Jackson Calder now gets doubleand triple-teamed by the opposition backs and our young blokes are starting to feel the pinch of a tough preseason and tough competition.

“There is no rest for teams this year.

There are no easy games and it’s a challenge to come up every week, especially for one of the youngest lists in the competition.”

Mornington is now two games and 11 per cent outside the top five.

In a close season, it’s going to be extremely tough from here for the Dogs to play finals.

Importantly, Bonbeach grabbed an additional 18 per cent after belting Chelsea by a whopping 170 points.

The Sharks have a percentage of 129, 11 per cent higher than thirdplaced Karingal and 21 per cent better than fifth-placed Mt Eliza.

In a tight season, the win will prove to be significant.

The Sharks booted eight goals in the first quarter, eight in the second, 10 in the third and six in the last to win 32.13-205 to 5.5-35.

Bonbeach had 12 goalscorers, seven multiple and six who booted three or more.

Calhan McQueen finished the afternoon with a career-high seven goals, Shane McDonald booted five, Shaun Foster four and Mark Tyrell was again outstanding.

Ricky Ferraro played well and Paul Rebeschini dominated. Josh Bull played his best game of the season for the Sharks.

It was a long day at the office for the Gulls. Brad Clark worked tirelessly, Ryan Stewart tried his heart out and Niz Abdallah did well for the second week on the trot.

Frankston YCW had a big scare at Lloyd Park against Langwarrin before steadying late in the game to win by 20 points, 13.7-85 to 9.11-65.

The Kangas dominated the first quarter, keeping the reigning champions goalless, but squandered opportunities, kicking 2.5 for the term.

As expected, the Stonecats got back into the game in the second term with Ben Tellis and Jack Mazurek getting plenty of the footy.

Michael Chaplin was also starting to have an influence in attack.

Regardless, the Kangas led by a goal at the big interval.

Frankston YCW got out to a five-goal break in the third before Langwarrin kicked the final three goals of the quarter to trail by a kick at three-quarter time.

Jason Curry and Jimmi Johnson were getting plenty of it and Mitch

Gill-Furness played his best game for the season.

Aaron Shaw with three goals and Luke Damon, also with three, were proving to be a handful for the usually sure Stonecats defence.

Langwarrin kicked the first goal of the last quarter to draw level, but the Stonecats steadied and recorded a hard-fought win.

The result highlighted how close the competition is between top and bottom. It also showed the onceunstoppable Stonecats can be beaten.

In good news for the competition, power ruckman Ash Eames is just three weeks away from playing.

Seaford had its season on the line on Saturday against Pines. It was also a day of celebration for the 1993 premiership teams.

The Tigers responded, kicking 15 goals to eight in the second half to completely outclass the Pythons.

Tommy Shaw booted six goals and Aaron Walton, Dylan Sloan and teenager Rourke Fisher dominated for the Tigers, who led by just four points at half-time.

However, they were sensational in the second half, winning 23.11-149 to 15.9-99.

Dale Tedge with three goals, Beau Hendry and Nick Wilcox were the best of the Pythons.

Pines is in sixth position, six per cent ahead of Seaford, now in seventh.

Mornington News 2 July 2013

track: coach

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly DEVON Meadows coach Brent Clinnick believes his club is on the right track for sustained success, despite winning just one game this season.

Clinnick, who was reappointed coach for the 2014 season, said my comments about him and his players were “unfounded and absolutely untrue”.

Clinnick was scathing of comments made by me in The News last week and in the Football Record.

For the record, I wrote that Devon Meadows played a defensive zone brand of football that it was unable to execute.

I also questioned the team’s lack of Plan B and believed the players looked lost during games.

The remarks were based on seeing Devon Meadows’ games against Somerville (the only win) and Pearcedale.

Clinnick said he and his players were left bewildered by the comments.

“We simply don’t have a defensive game plan. We don’t train that way and we don’t play that way,” he said.

“It may appear that way when we are under the pump because the players go into their shells. This has happened to us quite a bit. However, to say that we plan to push numbers behind the ball is just not right.

“We need to play to our strengths.

We don’t have body size like others

in the competition. We need to defend wide and find players with space when we bring the ball out of defence. If that means we kick it across the ground to someone 40 metres on their own, that’s the way we play.

“Defending wide also makes it tough for the opposition to put our backs under pressure if we turn the footy over.

“You need to remember that we are coming from a long way back.

“We haven’t played finals since 2001 and the culture of the club is not a winning one.

“We also came into this season without the top three in last year’s best and fairest – David Velardo (gone to Oakleigh Districts), Billy Hayes (working in Darwin) and Jesse Dehey (broken foot).

“Many of our good players like Callum O’Hare and Ash Adams don’t do much of a preseason because of cricket.

“In the past two years we have recruited 20- and 21-year-olds who will be good players for us for many years to come.

“We want sustained success, not a quick fix. With that comes some speed humps along the way.

“We are all trying very hard to turn things around and it doesn’t help when we read what you’re writing in the media,” Clinnick told me.

Understrength Bombers see off Pearcedale as Sharks tear apart Somerville NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly FRANKSTON Bombers defied the odds on Saturday in Nepean League, overcoming a host of injuries to beat Pearcedale by the smallest of margins.

The Bombers went into the match without top-liners including coach Duncan Proud, Jeremy Waixel, Allan Williams, Jay Reynolds, Marcus Bate, Luke Lewis and James Degenhardt.

Proud, Williams and Waixel represented half of the Bombers’ backline.

Proud said Williams and Degenhardt were expected back this week, while he, Waixel and Lewis were expected “to be right after the bye”. Reynolds, who tore a medial against Dromana, might be back before the finals.

For Pearcedale, Frankston Bombers were ripe for the picking.

The Panthers welcomed back Pat Heijden and Byron Hoe but lost coach Ben Cadd to work commitments.

If ever Pearcedale was going to beat Frankston, this was it.

And it looked as though it was going to happen when the home side booted six goals to two in the first quarter.

Proud gave his Bombers’ charges a good, old-fashioned spray at the break, pleading with his players to reset their structures and play to the game plan.

The Panthers extended their lead beyond six goals midway through the second quarter before Frankston clicked into gear.

As requested by the coach, the Bombers started to use the footy better than the opposition, while the Panthers began to cough up the footy coming out of defence.

Frankston key forwards Zac Longham (two goals) and Scott Foster (four) started to get some opportunities and Brian O’Carroll was in vintage form.

O’Carroll’s run and ball use through the middle was match-turning,

while young Josh Francis on a wing dominated and did not waste a single possession.

The Bombers kicked the last three goals of the second term to get within 11 points at half-time.

Pearcedale kept its nose in front in the third but by the midway mark of the final quarter, Frankston hit the front.

Pearcedale full-forward Pat Heijden and opponent Sam Drake, who took the honours, went toe to toe in one last-ditch effort for Pearcedale with a minute on the clock, but Frankston cleared, took the ball up the other end and won by a point, 12.15-87 to 13.8-86.

Chris Fortnam was outstanding for the Panthers, as was Chris Hensby, while Ben Mitchell won the battle in the ruck against Haydn Moore.

As expected, Duncan Proud was very happy after the match.

“It was going to be a tough ask with that many players out of the side but I couldn’t be happier to come away with the four points,” he said.

“We have played 11 blokes under the age of 21 in the past couple of weeks and they have really stood up.

“Brian O’Carroll and Shane Vandervalk were great in helping us get back into the game when we were six goals down and I thought Nathan and Ryan Lonie really stood up in the second half. Sam Drake and Josh Francis were also great, while Jack Foster came up from the under-18s and was sensational across halfback.”

On the other side of the fence, Josh Beard, who took the Pearcedale reins in the absence of coach Ben Cadd, was devastated with his team’s performance.

“We just turned over the footy far too much and all credit to Frankston; they made us pay,” he said.

“Losing Dylan Hoare early cost us too because he was up and about, and is such an important player.

“We had our fair share of chances to win but poor use of the football

and bad decision-making at key times was the reason we lost. We just have to get better at these areas if we want to play finals and have an impact.

After a big week off the field with the departure of coach Brad Coller, Tyabb’s onfield woes continued when it lost to Rye by 89 points.

Coller and the club parted ways and star Ryan Jones headed home to Cranbourne after being cleared.

The decision for Coller to leave was “mutual”, according to the former coach (see full story in sports section).

With Ray Hallal at the helm, the Yabbies were far from competitive against the Demons, losing 7.3-45 to 20.14-134.

Rye welcomed for the first time this season one of its star recruits in Troy Wright, who broke a foot in a practice match.

He booted three goals, while Ben Holmes booted five and Ben WintersKerr four. Grant Wilson also kicked three goals in his 200th match, while Darren Booth and Adam Kirkwood continued their domination.

Rye is just one game outside the five, but still has to play Dromana, Frankston Bombers and Sorrento.

Pearcedale plays Tyabb, Crib Point, Devon Meadows, Red Hill and Rye.

The third team in the equation for the fifth spot is Crib Point, which plays Devon, Pearcedale, Hastings, Tyabb and Red Hill.

Sorrento turned it on by belting Somerville by 105 points.

We have been critical of Sorrento for not burying sides, but they did it on Saturday.

Ben Schwarze booted six, James Hallahan four and a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard.

Rhys Palmer was the best of the Eagles with two goals while Leigh Stewart also led from the front.

Red Hill was up and about against Devon Meadows, winning 14.11-95 to 9.7-61.

At half-time, the score was 10.5 to 2.6.

The Panthers went into the game without key players Alex Doria, Dean Watson and Stefan Baumgartner.

Dylan Jones booted four and Jarryd Douglas three for the Hillmen while Jake Mitchell and Jake Mold played well.

Andrew Oldmeadow and Jack Henderson were good for Devon, and 16-year-old Kane Spring was outstanding across half-back.

Panthers coach Brent Clinnick said it was another tough day.

“Once again, a slow start cost us

early and we coughed up the footy far too often,” he said.

“Our second half was good, outscoring them seven goals to four but we gave them too big a head start.”

Rosebud once again was on fire and disposed of Hastings with relative ease.

The Buds opened up a four-goal break in the first quarter and extended the margin at every change, winning 19.16-130 to 13.11-89.

Ben Schultz made it three bags of seven in a row to move to 39 for the season, and Matty Payne kicked four to take him to 28.

Sorrento’s Leigh Poholke leads the goalkicking table with 48, Ben Holmes is second on 43 and Pat Heijden has 40.

Colin McVeigh was Hastings’ best with five goals and David Hull and Kain Stratton flew the flag yet again.

Dromana easily accounted for Crib Point, although inaccuracy cost them a bigger than 60-point win.

The Tigers kicked 16.19 to 8.7.

Toby Banks was best on ground with four goals, and Sam Guerts and Braedan Dennis also were very good.

Matt Sloper and Luke Herrington topped the list for the Pies.

Tyabb coach and club part ways

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly TYABB Football Club is officially in the market for a new coach after the club and coach Brad Coller agreed to part ways in the middle of last week.

The rumour mill was rife, some saying Coller was sacked while the official word from Tyabb was he resigned.

Coller told The News “the decision was mutual”.

“The club was well aware that I wasn’t going to coach at Tyabb next season and it got to the stage where they wanted to start putting some things in place to prepare for 2014,” Coller said.

“I agreed that it would be easier for them to do that if I wasn’t around.”

Coller said the club was a fantastic one with many great people, but that wasn’t replicated on the ground.

“It was a tough gig and off-field the

club was great, but we just couldn’t get it going on the field,” he said.

“With 12 of your best players missing for two years, it makes it hard, but the reality is the buck stops with me.”

Star forward Ryan Jones was cleared back to Cranbourne during the week.

“Ryan came across to Tyabb with me in 2012 and I talked him into staying this season,” Coller said.

“He was happy to stay on but he has a lot of mates at Cranbourne and I think they have been in his ear for a few weeks.

“The club completely understood his stance and was more than happy for him to head back to Cranbourne.

“I’m looking forward to just getting around and watching a few games.

I’m not sure at this stage where I might bob up next season.”
