Bird lover facing bullying backlash THE clue to the passion of Paris Yves is contained on her business card: Parrot Productions - bird behaviourist, animal activist.

The logo at the bottom of the card states “Wonderful world of non human animals�.

Ms Yves, of Mt Eliza, offers free bird behaviour advice so that their owners can rest assured their pets are not suffering through a lonely, unnatural and unethical life.

Although well intentioned, Ms Yves is upsetting people, mainly those who breed and sell birds.

Quick to let the authorities know about any transgression of the law or cruelty being shown to birds, Ms Yves latest target is raising more than a few feathers among bird collectors and breeders.

She says complaints she lodged last month about an annual “bird sale and expo� at Skye have led to her being bullied, but not bowed. ‘Accusations over bird sale’, Page 3

New era in aged care dawns Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au REPRESENTATIVES of 30 Mornington Peninsula aged care providers last week attended a specially convened meeting with Assistant Minister for Social Services Senator Mitch Fifield to voice their concerns over sweeping federal government changes to the aged care sector.

The new means-test arrangements will also apply to home care.

Other changes include more home care packages to help older people stay in their own homes, more choice to pay for accommodation and services, such as daily payments and refundable de-

posits, and transparent accommodation prices and services, with all residential aged-care providers required to publish the maximum amount they charge.

No one will pay more than $25,000 a year or a $60,000 lifetime fee for means-tested residential care, while family homes will be exempt from the means test if there is a spouse or other protected person still living there.

The changes have been largely welcomed by the sector, however ques-

Accusations fly over bird sale Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORE than feathers are being ruffled among bird breeders following allegations of mistreatment of birds offered for sale last month at Skye.

Paris Yves has complained to the RSPCA and Department of Environment and Primary Industries about the cruel treatment of parrots being displayed in small, inadequate boxes.

A long time campaigner against mistreatment of birds either kept as pets of for breeding, Ms Yves, of Mt Eliza, says she has been bullied since going public with her latest complaints.

The bird “sale and expo� at the Western Port Highway headquarters of Dogs Victoria was run by the Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society on Sunday 25 May. The society’s president, David Renshaw, did not want to comment on the allegations by Ms Yves without first discussing it with the society’s committee. “I’m not prepared to give you a comment without prior notice,� he said.

He said the matter had been placed in the hands of a solicitor.

Mr Renshaw said all bird sales were run under a code of practice, which was “scrutinised by scrutineers�.

Photographs taken by Ms Yves at the bird sale show a large sign stating a code of practice administered by the Victorian Avicultural Council.

However, Ms Yves said it was unsatisfactory to have the VAC “policing themselves�. “It is inexcusable that most birds -

On show: Parrots for sale at the at the bird “sale and expo� run in May by Mornington Peninsula Avicultural Society.

except the Gouldian finches in the lovely great aviary - were displayed in such an unethical way,� she said. “It was truly like walking through the back streets of an Indian market. “I am amid a public campaign so that Australians can finally discover the truth about companion bird abuse and lack of welfare and lack of laws. There is no going back now.�

Ms Yves’s emails to and discussions with breeders had come down to semantics, with some breeders claiming birds kept for breeding purposes were not companion birds. She says the law does not differentiate between the terms.

A cockatoo breeder, “who also admitted that there are welfare problems at bird sales�, referred to birds at the sale

as aviary birds and not pet birds. “There is legally no difference. The DEPI welfare codes clearly includes all captive/caged birds,� Ms Yves said. “I don’t think you will get a response from the market organisers - they are in damage control. Since they have breached all codes there is nothing positive they can say, the damage is done. “The VAC failed terribly and has lost

all credibility, which is why I am receiving bullying and rude emails.�

Letters published in this month’s edition of Talking Birds magazine appear to confirm Ms Yves’s complaints about the expo.

An anonymous letter writer from South Australia admits the bird boxes “could have been a bit bigger� but goes on to say small boxes are safer for birds and that the birds “may be distressed, but from other noises and movement, not because they are ill�. “Yes, there are some who break the rules, which is then used against others because one bad apple corrupts the rest,� the letter states.

A second letter by J Milosevic (via email) says there is no doubt about Ms Yves’s good intentions and then refers to guidelines “which, unfortunately, were ignored in the case of the photos in her emailâ€?. “Guidelines and rules exist but are often ignored and I found it rather ironic that the sale where the women took the photos in her email had a large banner setting out the rules prominently displayed ‌ what is the point of words on that banner when the rules were not enforced at that event? “If that had been done she would have had no ammunition which could be used to attack sales, demanding that they be banned. “Well, now it has happened and I hope that you keep track of what the state bodies do from now on about running sales properly, because it is obvious that at least one, the Victorian mob, has lost the plot.â€?

Junior coaching great helps guide Mt Martha Rotary’s new head

Voice of experience: Ray Carroll, left, with Mt Martha Junior Football Club president Warren Davies.

and gracious and adopting a team mantra of ‘We not I’.

Mt Martha, the largest club in the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League, was thrilled when Lachie Whitfield was taken by Greater Western Sydney as No. 1 pick in the 2012 AFL draft. “It is vital to the development of

boys and girls that Mt Martha continues to develop its coaches,” president Warren Davies said.

Former Assumption boy and Geelong forward Bill Brownless once said of Carroll, “He’s been a teacher, mentor, and virtually a second dad for a lot of the boys who played cricket and footy.

Some of the greats of the VFL/AFL current and past owe a lot to his coaching and devotion, including Michael Barlow, Francis Bourke, the late Peter Crimmins, Neale Daniher, Peter ‘Crackers’ Keenan, Simon O’Donnell, David King and Shane Crawford.”

ALAN Thompson, above, is the new president of Mt Eliza Rotary Club.

Mr Thompson, the club’s 44th president, took over from Sander Vandeth at a changeover dinner at Norwood House, Mt Eliza, on Tuesday 1 July.

Now 71, Mr Thompson spent his early career in banking in Australia and the United Kingdom before being appointed manager of the Frankston office of Dalgety Australia in 1974.

In 1979 he obtained his commercial pilot’s licence and spent nearly 30 years in aircraft sales before retiring in 2008.

He lives with his wife Judy in Mt Eliza and, apart from “devoting a great deal of time to Rotary”, lists his pastimes as gardening, being a handyman around the home, reading, tennis and travel.

Mr Thompson plans to oversee the formation of a new satellite Rotary club in the area aimed at attracting members in the 30-50 age group.

The club also wants to build a rotunda or bandstand in Rotary Park, Mt Eliza “to enhance the park and to provide a focus for activities there”.

The project will be partly financed with $3000 each from the discretionary funds of Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon.

SE LA LL ST IN UN G IT NO S W

A MAN revered as junior coaching “royalty” spoke to Mt Martha Junior Football Club’s 12 coaches, assistants and team managers last week as part of a coaching development strategy.

Ray Carroll earned the title after coaching Assumption College, Kilmore’s 1st XVIII footballers and 1st XI cricketers to an astonishing 47 premierships in the Associated Grammar Schools Victoria. Locally, The Peninsula School is part of the AGSV. Carroll’s junior coaching dates back 55 years to when he took charge of the cricket team. He was then a teacher and boarding master.

Carroll spoke of the evolution of the two sports in terms of what coaching today’s children is like compared to the 60s and 70s. “Today’s children have so many more distractions than 20 and 30 years ago,” he said. “The advent of other sports, electronics and time-poor parents has seen the management and development of junior sports people become increasingly more challenging.”

He was adamant that, for a team to succeed, the bottom third in terms of ability and commitment were those to whom the coaches should direct most attention. “Too many coaches devote too much of their time to working with the top and middle third, however, the better coaches know that the greatest achievement is in seeing the children with lesser skills and confidence grow and become the backbone of the team.”

Carroll spoke about making sport enjoyable for children, teaching them to not only play the game but also to teach them about developing their individual characters to last through their adult years. This is spelled out through sportsmanship, effort, being humble

New imam at mosque SYED Wadood Janud has been appointed imam at the Ahmadiyya Muslim community’s mosque in Langwarrin.

Mr Janud, the first Australian Ahmadiyya missionary, completed his primary and secondary schooling in Adelaide before attaining his degree in Islamic theology and comparative religions in Canada.

The seven-year course at the Ahmadiyya Institute of Islamic Studies, in Maple, Canada, was followed by six months as an imam of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Liberia.

Mr Janud sees his main role at the Ahmadiyya Centre Melbourne in Langwarrin (formally known as Baitul-Salam or House of Peace) as being “to lead prayers and train members in religious matters, but I would also work for interfaith harmony and to build bridges between communities”.

“My life is devoted to the cause of peace, harmony and love for all, hatred for none, and my doors will always be open to the community members for any help and advice.”

The president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria, Javed Safdar Choudhary, said the appointment of the new imam at Langwarrin “dawns a new era in our efforts to work closely on community relations and make bridges”.

Al Islam, the “official” website of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, describes the community as “the leading Islamic organisation to categorically reject terrorism in any form”

Where’s our NBN, Mr Turnbull?

Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula residents and businesses are no closer to finding out when or how they will be connected to the National Broadband Network, despite a visit to the region last week

by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Mr Turnbull, who spent the day in Frankston on Wednesday at the invitation of federal member for Dunkley Bruce Billson to inspect progress on the rollout of the NBN, said a precise timetable for the peninsula was still being assessed but that the region had been identified as a top Coalition priority.

The type of technology to be used to provide broadband services to the peninsula was also yet to be determined, Mr Turnbull said, adding that “a range of options” would be explored.

Mr Turnbull said NBN Co, the company overseeing the national broadband network, had advised the government that to deliver services sooner and a lower cost to both taxpayers and consumers, a “multi-technology mix” would need to be used.

“This will match the right technology to the right location and make use of existing networks where possible to deliver very fast broadband,” he said.

For the peninsula, the “technology mix” is expected to include some fibre, existing copper networks and satellite, or wi-fi.

Mr Turnbull and Mr Billson visited a site in Frankston South where contractors are laying fibre optic cables that will

see about 8000 homes and businesses connected to the high-speed broadband network by the end of the year.

The rollout, covering an area of Frankston South and Karingal, is Frankston’s first under the Coalition government’s “fibre to the node” model, which replaces the former Labor government’s plan to connect homes directly to the NBN network.

As with the peninsula, it is still unknown when the rest of Frankston, including the city centre, will be connected to the NBN network.

However, Mr Turnbull said it would

be far sooner – and cheaper - than would have been the case under the Labor plan.

He said the Coalition government was “determined” to see the NBN rolled out first to areas most in need, such as the Frankston and peninsula region, which has been dogged by poor internet access and mobile phone coverage.

“The NBN roll out is progressing well in Dunkley and I'm pleased to announce build preparation has started to a further 2400 premises in Langwarrin,” Mr Turnbull said.

“We are getting on with the job and work has been completed/partially

completed to connect The Heath Estate in Langwarrin and Peninsula Grange Retirement Village in Mornington and further areas will be announced later this year.

“The Government will continue to look at ways to make the NBN faster and more affordable than the previous government's plan and will work with the private sector to ensure efficient delivery and rollout.”

Mr Billson and Mr Turnbull later met with business owners, council representatives and service providers to discuss progress on the NBN and measures to address poor mobile phone coverage.

“Minister Turnbull’s visit is an important follow-up to the pre-election visit where the focus was on accelerating high speed affordable broadband to underserviced areas, particularly for local businesses and commercial hubs,” Mr Billson said.

“Today we witnessed the first fibre splice in Frankston which will help pass 8100 residential premises in the electorate by the end of the year.”

Mr Billson said plans for future connections in the electorate would be announced soon, blaming the previous Labor government for delays.

He said that under Labor, the Frankston and peninsula region was unlikely to have been connected to the NBN until 2022, while the Coalition had committed to connecting all homes in the area, and across Australia to the network of speed of 25 megabits per second by the end of 2016 and 50 megabits per second by 2019.

Mr Billson also called on residents to

help address mobile phone coverage issues by nominating known black spots to receive funding under the Coalition’s $100 million Mobile Black Spot program.

“The programme works to extend mobile phone coverage in outer metropolitan areas like ours,” Mr Billson said. “I have noticed and other people have reported several spots in Frankston South and along the Nepean Highway between Mt Eliza and Mornington where coverage is poor and phone calls often drop out or the signal fades.

“Not only is this frustrating for people wanting to stay in touch with family, friends and their workplace, access to reliable mobile coverage is a crucial pre-condition for the many businesses using smart phone apps as a key part of their business toolkit.

“Nominations close soon and I encourage the community to nominate mobile black spots in the electorate so we can improve coverage in the area.”

The government expects to start a competitive selection process in the second half 2014, with a view to announcing the locations which have been selected for funding in the first half of 2015.

The first base stations funded under this programme are expected to begin roll out in the second half of 2015.

Foggy budget figures fail to please all

By David Harrison Council meeting at Besgrove St, Rosebud, Monday 30 June. Main agenda item: the 2014-15 budget.

Absent: Cr Graham Pittock.

THIS is the meeting at which you, dear ratepayer, discover your fiscal fate for the next shire year. Since only one or two of you showed up on the night, here it is, in glorious precis.

Shire rated properties – that's all of you, unless you reside in a place of worship – will fork out what you paid last year “incremented by 5.9 per cent”, intoned finance manager Geoff Emberson's budget summary, under the headline “Proposed rates and charges”.

Oh, but wait! You must add to this a further $180, being the municipal charge levied on every property.

Note that the flat-rate municipal charge, which has rocketed from $80 to $180 in a decade and is now effectively a subsidiary shire rate, was proposed to rise to $190 but was held down by vote of councillors.

Instead it was agreed to borrow $2 million to cover the shortfall but, strangely, it appears this borrowing may not be needed, included though it is in Mr Emberson's summary as required “to fund major capital works”.

You don't get a very major work for $2 million. However, substantial money can be (and would be) found via “efficiencies and savings” for another

project, the meeting was told.

This latest percentage leap means your rates have risen by 130 per cent in a decade, greater than petrol (71 per cent), gas (95), or electricity (129). And in that decade the Municipal Association of Victoria calculates that local government costs are up just 47 per cent. Why then the massive municipal charge rise? For some ratepayers it can represent nearly half their total rate bill.

The shire seems lavish with its spending, a point made by several of the four councillors who voted against the budget. The 5.9 per cent rise is 18 per cent higher than the shire's own forecast of 5 per cent, mentioned in its 2013-17 strategic plan, continuing a pattern going back at least a decade.

Of course the precise sum you will pay will not be known until your rates notice hits the letterbox. Few will pay exactly 5.9 per cent (plus the municipal charge) more than they did last year because the rate – “$0.21037” will differ with property values.

That always means good news-bad news. This year the good news comes to residents of “Portsea, Sorrento, Blairgowrie, Rye, St Andrews Beach, Safety Beach and Mt Eliza”, all of which “have shown valuation reductions”, meaning lower rate rises.

The bad news includes “the localities of Mornington, Mt Martha, Dromana, McCrae and Rosebud, Rosebud West and Tootgarook”, where rate rises will be higher.

But, since the shire, inexplicably, no longer publishes its table of highestlowest rates in each ward, the size of these movements will be known only

when the rates go out – or a councillor or two requires staff to provide the figures for citizens of their wards.

Ratepayers have a right – and a need – to view these figures, to be properly informed about their rates from year to year.

A few facts the budget does contain: it reports that the shire “comprises 98,008 rateable assessments of which 91.3% are residential, 2.3% rural, 3.3% commercial, 1.7% industrial, and 1.4% boatsheds. Of the 91.3% of assessments classed as residential, 2.4% of them are rural residential type properties attracting the general rate.

“In addition, there are a further 590 non-rateable properties now required to be valued for Fire Service Property Levy purposes.”

Owners of “farm land” pay only 35 per cent of the residential rate.

Approval of the budget vote was knife-edge – 5-4 – in the absence of Cr Graham Pittock and the vacancy in Red Hill ward. Councillors Bev Colomb, Lynn Bowden and Hugh Fraser spoke against it (Cr Tim Rodgers, nursing a sore throat, remained silent but also voted No), expressing general support for it but singling out concern over future borrowings in uncertain times, especially for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre's rapidly escalating cost and uncertainty over what it would, if ever built, finally comprise.

Cr David Gibb berated budget opponents, describing their arguments as “facile” and their position as constituting “a very appalling process”.

The shire was Victoria's sixth lowest

rating council and the rate rise was “affordable”, he said.

He was supported by councillors Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, David Garnock and Antonella Celi. * Cr Pittock was advised not to attend the meeting because, by debating and voting on the budget, he would effectively be dealing with SPA and thus possibly exacerbate the conflict matter.

The case against him has been further delayed until December because, the Local Government Inspectorate has argued, a witness, former shire governance manager Noel Buck, was unavailable until then. Mr Buck is said to be on a round-Australia motorcycle adventure.

Not drowning, arguing Although absent from the last week’s council meeting, Cr Graham Pittock brought up an item of urgent business via colleague Tim Rodgers. It involved “serious flooding” in Rosebud in the Murray-Anderson Rd-Point Nepean Rd area during the recent wild weather, despite drainage work

by Melbourne Water.

“I'm speaking against the motion, Madam Mayor,” Cr David Gibb interjected quietly as leave was sought to bring on the item.

Councillors Pittock, Gibb and mayor Antonella Celi are the Seawinds ward councillors. Why was Cr Gibb opposing an item involving flooding, including of shops, in his ward?

Cleared to speak, Cr Rodgers proposed that an urgent report be brought to council dealing with why the drainage works had failed to stop

the flooding.

“I'll seek an amendment, Madam Mayor,” Cr Gibb was heard to say.

He was barely audible in the gallery because of his habit of not turning on his microphone. Memo councillors: the gallery like to hear what you are saying. That's why we come to meetings.

Given the call, Cr Gibb moved – mike now turned on – to widen the motion to encompass flooding across the shire. Cr Anne Shaw backed him. It would be “very interesting”, she said, to know the wider effect of the storms.

Cr Bev Colomb disagreed. So did Cr Hugh Fraser, who said the Gibb amendment would “effectively sabotage” Cr Rodgers's original motion and would mean “months if not years” before a report could be done.

The amendment was lost; the Rodgers motion got up.

Unfazed by this, Cr Gibb then moved a separate item of urgent business – his defeated amendment. Cr Fraser weighed in against it. What is the purpose of this motion, he asked.

No specific evidence of flooding in any specific areas had been put to councillors. “It strikes me as a waste of money and a waste of time,” he said.

Cr Colomb agreed, adding that Cr Gibb's urgent business seemed to be “a sort of a backlash” to the PittockRodgers motion.

Cr Gibb closed the debate, declaring he was aware of wider flooding.

Then the vote. Cr Gibb had persuaded only the ever-loyal Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon. Cr Pittock had won the day for his sodden ward.

On track to access other beach areas A NEW access track being built at Point Leo will make it easier for wheelchairs to be taken in and out of the lifesaving club and onto the beach.

The number of people in wheelchairs using the club increases dramatically whenever an event is held by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association.

Work started on the new access track on Saturday, with members of the DSA and volunteers from local businesses which have donated materials and equipment.

The DSA is confident the project will come in under budget, allowing a grant from Mornington Peninsula Shire to also be used to improve other points of access for the disabled on the foreshore.

“The current access track should be completed by the end of July and at this stage we will see the completion of what we hope will be the first stage of complete beach access,” DSAMP committee member Joe Hart said.

“The access track to Point Leo foreshore is part of the DSAMP in conjunction with the Point Leo Foreshore Committee and the Point Leo Surf Lifesaving plans to develop the area into a disability precinct.”

Improvements will be made to the nearby toilet block, car park and provision made for all terrain wheelchairs.

“This track ending near the lifesaving club entrance, even though not giving complete access to the beach, is just the first stage,” Mr Hart said.

Companies donating towards the project include LBK Driveways and Design Construction and Asphalting; Maw Civil; Everist Timber; Barrell Concreting; Hillview Quarries; Holcim Australia; Fulton Hogan; GP Hire Rosebud, Point Leo Lifesaving Club; and Pt Leo Foreshore Committee.

Aged care’s new era Continued from Page 1

“More than 30 people attended the forum, including three commonwealth-funded aged care service providers who have partnered together as a consortium to provide a broad range of aged care and related services across the Mornington Peninsula region,” Mr Billson said.

“The consortium is the first of its kind in the electorate which combines services from Village Glen, Andrew Kerr Frail and Aged Care Centre and Village Baxter.

“It’s great to see the local aged care providers driving innovation to ensure clients and the community receive a high level of care,” Mr Billson said.

Senator Fifield described the forum as “very productive”, acknowledging the breadth of changes would take some time for the industry to absorb.

“The changes to aged care commencing on 1 July will help make our aged care system more efficient and flexible, better coordinated and consistent, and easier to navigate,” Senator Fifield said.

He said the changes aimed to help build a better aged care system that offered “choice and flexibility for consumers, and put control back into their hands, with more support at home to enable people to stay in their own homes and communities for as long as possible”.

The CEO of Mornington’s Andrew Kerr Frail and Age Care centre, Eileen Prudden said that while the changes presented challenges to both residents and services providers, they were necessary and inevitable.

“With our aging population and shrinking workforce, there was really no choice other than to make these sorts of changes,” she said.

“Change is never easy, especially for elderly people, but increasing costs and less tax payers to foot the bill means people have to pay more for aged care.”

She said the forum had been “very helpful” in answering questions peninsula aged care service providers had and thanked Senator Fifield and Mr Billson for providing an opportunity the opportunity.

“There’s certainly a lot to get our heads around, but Senator Fifield was very open and honest with us.

“We’re very appreciative of his time, and for Mr Billson organising such an opportunity.”

NEWS DESK Night bus service BUS commuters on the peninsula will benefit from an improved late night bus time table. It will connect Mt Eliza buses with Frankston trains every 20 minutes between 8 and 10.20pm.

The changes start 27 July.

“We have been able to improve the timetable to connect Mt Eliza’s three bus routes with more night-time trains, halving the wait time between connected services and providing a more frequent service to Mt Eliza after 8pm,” Mornington MP David Morris said.

He said more than 180 train services each week have been added to the Frankston line, with transport minister Terry Mulder saying the government had “invested heavily to ensure train punctuality is lifted from just 62.6 per cent in May 2010 to 90.7 per cent in May 2014.

“The $115 million Bayside Rail Project will transform passenger journeys on the Frankston line by introducing new X’Trapolis trains and improving stations to make them safer and more comfortable.”

Junior footy centre moves to BlueScope AN Australian Football Junior Development Centre will be based at BlueScope Steel, Hastings.

The Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League and BlueScope Steel announced the partnership last week.

It comes after an intensive search for a base where players and coaches from all MPJFL clubs could refine and develop their skills.

The Hastings facility will suit players of all ages. It has a 170m long by 125m wide fully irrigated footy oval, change rooms, pavilion, warm-up areas and learning centre.

MPJFL president Andrew Souter said the centre would be the first of its kind in the region that can be used year-round. He thanked Hastings MP Neale Burgess for his assistance.

“BlueScope Steel sees this partnership with the MPJFL as an integral part of our community program which will have a long-term benefit for children in our region,” Bluescope Steel’s Hastings manager Bob Pullein said.

The MPJFL will move its administration offices to the Hastings Community Hub this month.

The new $3.4 million facility will include

meeting rooms, exercise area, administrative support, staff training and a range of community programs.

In other junior football news, the Bendigo Bank MPJFL finals series will be held for the first time at Red Hill with the support of the Balnarring Junior Football Club and the Red Hill Junior and Senior football clubs.

With big crowds expected, the four week finals series will provide a significant spinoff for Red Hill businesses and the local community, organisers say.

DR ANNIE Gray will deliver an illustrated lecture on Beeton's Book of Household Management in its culinary context at the next Association of Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Societies meeting at 5.30pm on Friday 11 July at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilson Rd, Mornington. Members are welcome to bring guests but should phone 9787 2092 to reserve a place.

Oncology upgrade at hospital A $3 MILLION upgrade to the Oncology Day Treatment Centre at Frankston Hospital will provide better support for those with cancer and their families.

Peninsula Health cancer services provides 8000 chemotherapy treatments per year through the centre and receives a further 4000 visits to its two outpatient clinics at the Frankston and Rosebud hospitals.

Federal member for Dunkley, Bruce Billson, last week opened stage one of the upgrade accompanied by Peninsula Health chair, Nancy Hogan, and Frankston Hospital chief operating officer, Brendon Gardner.

“The Federal Government provided $650,000 through the community development grants program to fund this vital upgrade,” Mr Billson said.

"The centre includes five more treatment chairs, bringing the total number to 15, as well as larger treatment areas and a new patient resource room.”

More than 8000 patients per year receive treatment in the electorate and completion of this project means more people won’t have to travel and can be cared for locally by highly skilled staff, Mr Billson said.

COMMENT

SPA: how much can we splash?

Memory lapse

By David Harrison

NEVER mind whether the shire or councillors or the Rosebud Chamber of Commerce say “we” can afford it. Ultimately “we” – the ratepayers – will foot the bill. A bill that is huge and growing alarmingly.

The question arose briefly at the budget council meeting on 30 June. A sum of $1.6 million was allocated to the project. A sum of $38-odd million was mentioned as the current pool cost.

Wrong, said Cr David Gibb, the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre's most ardent promoter. Only some $34 million has been approved by councillors at this stage.

True, perhaps. But councillors recently approved water slides and other add-ons for the pool. That means approving the cost of them, a further $6 million or so, at some stage. And they were in the list of features architects could include in their plans for the project design contest.

Cr Gibb leads the pro-SPA councillor group, which also insists the complex must be built on the Rosebud foreshore.

Will that add to the cost? Almost certainly. By how much? Who knows. The pro-foreshore camp argue the foreshore site will be cheaper – the land comes free.

In its project cost the winning tenderer will build in a cost contingency maybe as high as 25 per cent to cover any unexpected costs of building the complex's foundation in what is essentially sand.

The tenderer cannot risk taking a loss on the project.

The pool complex was first mooted almost a decade ago. Price then: about $16 million. Much of this would come

from government sources. By 2012 the price was $28.5 million. Then it rose to some $34 million as it grew in size.

Now the cost hovers around $40 million.

This writer has supported the pool for Rosebud all along. But not on the foreshore. And, as the cost spiralled from $28 million, not at any price, either. At $40 million it is becoming unaffordable.

To quote many a politician over many a year: where is the money coming from?

The shire now has a debt of about $38 million. It is planning borrowings of some $12 million for the SPA in future budgets. That leaves a cost gap of $26 million. Add that to the current debt and you have at least $64 million to be paid back, mainly via rates.

Some councillors used to be confident that a generous public, and generous wealthy individuals, would contribute to the SPA cost. But that was back in the days before it suddenly headed for $40 million. Government money also dried up as the project bogged down – partly by the insistence that it be built on the foreshore.

And the SPA is still a plan with fuzzy edges. To quote Cr Hugh Fraser, speaking about the SPA uncertainties on cost and final design before voting against the 2014-15 budget on 30 June: “One moment there's a kitchen which is to have a combined function for both [the SPA] cafe and for the [Rosebud Memorial Hall] complex. The next moment there's going to be separate kitchens.

“One moment there's a gymnasium of a certain size, the next moment there's going to be a gymnasium of an increased size. One moment Cr Gibb is announcing a rooftop restaurant, and

now we have a cafe.”

What next? Who has a top hat secreted in their bottom drawer from which these rabbits are being pulled?

Those promoting the pool, assisted by shire executives, have adamantly and consistently refused to ask all shire residents their view of the pool – the shire's biggest-yet undertaking. Remember Climate Change Conversations and Plan Peninsula? But the public has been denied their say in a shire-run forum on this enormous plan.

Why? Cr Gibb says the SPA has “overwhelming” community support.

The shire said it in a submission to Environment Minister Ryan Smith, a document that conveniently omitted all contrary fact and opinion and based its case on fluffy superlatives. Minister Smith seems not to have been fooled by this document.

We – the “we” who will pay for this huge, financially vulnerable edifice – are entitled to proper process, the baring of all the relevant facts, a heavy dose of the shire's much-vaunted but rarely implemented openness and transparency, before the SPA goes any further.

Ironically, it was a set of recently released confidential documents that told us some truths previously unavailable to “we”, the public bill-payers.

Just one fact, from a pool expert group: the response to a phone survey of prospective pool users was the second lowest the group had ever encountered in surveys done Australia-wide over 15 years. This implied low local patronage: not a good start to a facility already calculated to need a hefty ratepayer subsidy from day one.

WHILE shopping this morning and using my bank card, I commented to the shopkeeper how easy it all is now.

She told me many of her customers are very fearful of the day when they can only access their cards by a PIN number. They are in the category of “independent living in villages”, but their memory is sometimes defective in remembering groups of numbers.

They are concerned they will be unable to remember their PIN numbers and therefore be unable to enjoy their shopping.

While they can access a bus and do their shopping and banking they want to have the freedom most of us enjoy: that of not carrying large sums of cash around and using their bank cards but fear not being able to remember their PIN and thus being embarrassed.

I wonder if the bankers have given any thought to this kind of problem and how it could be resolved for the group of people in this category.

I have written to my bank in the hope they may be able to resolve one of the problems that cause worry to the elderly.

Ageing and illness is not escaped by many of us and the problem will be waiting in the future.

B M Harradine, Mornington

No ‘victory’ DAVID Morris issued a news release announcing that the Liberal party has removed our long held right to subdivide our large, fully

serviced properties in Mt Eliza.

He finishes with the comment: “this is indeed a victory".

It might be a victory for Mr Morris and the small group of his politically influential supporters.

It is not a victory for the aging residents of Mt Eliza who have just had their retirement plans ruined.

It is not a victory for the silent majority who have just had a valuable asset of $400,000 $500,000 taken from them.

It is not a victory for fair and open state and local government due process.

It is not a victory for the local Briars ward councillors who are actually close to the issues and who voted against the planning amendment.

It is not a victory for the 50,000 residents that the government projects will require housing on the peninsula. Where will they go? Certainly not in Mr Morris's backyard.

It is not a victory for the people of Frankston and Hastings where the pressure for increased development will inevitably increase.

Is this the Liberals getting on with governing Victoria? I would argue that it is a final act of a dysfunctional government that is honouring promises to its mates.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Enhance the senses AT the end of a meandering driveway, flanked by native trees and shrubs, this stunning residence enjoys absolute privacy and a sense of serenity that will make you feel a world away. This visually intriguing home spreads out over 483 square metres (52 square) with a four-car garage centered between two distinct living zones. A virtually self-contained area in the south wing boasts a rumpus room with kitchen facilities and a full office also with a kitchen, bar and a powder room. A full length verandah connects to the remainder of the home as you enter into the dazzling family room. The spectacular kitchen has a massive island bench with stone benchtops and a full complement of stainless-steel appliances include a dishwasher, wall and convection ovens, plus a gas cooktop. The kitchen overlooks a casual meals area, perfectly orientated to take in a view of the pool area from the charming bay window, and a generous living space. The east wing begins with a calming rock garden and water feature acting as the backdrop to a formal dining area, and take a moment to imagine the memorable cocktail parties that could take place in the formal lounge with a magnificent open-fire place creating the ultimate ambience. Another powder room adjoins a smaller, separate study with the master bedroom - complete with twin walk-in robes and ensuite with spa bath - providing the final stop to this part of the home. The west wing houses four more bedrooms and a fourth bathroom, and given the already impressive family room and lounge that would serve adults very nicely, this section has the perfect set-up for children and teenagers with a first class home theatre room.

Already overwhelmed with features, there is still a component to the property that cannot be faulted. The beautiful pool area merges with the tree-line in an almost â&#x20AC;&#x153;horizonâ&#x20AC;? effect and includes a spa bath just a few steps from a lovely alfresco lounge. A full-size, modgrass tennis court is set further down the property, and branching off from the driveway is a double carport and a workshed for storing the work vehicles necessary to maintain the sprawling 1.6 hectare block.

With a sense of class and refinement, the property is surrounded by enchanting old world gardens on a 1348 square metre block. The interior has an eye-catching blend of period elegance and modern style, with a superb lounge and dining area featuring a marble framed open fire place, exquisite Wainscot wall panels and English-style troweled ceilings.

In the blackwood timber kitchen are quality appliances by Asko and a stainless-steel stove. There is also an adjoining casual meals area. The main bedroom is also on this downstairs level and enjoys a re-modelled bathroom. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, a separate study and a second bathroom. The private grounds have spacious lawn areas and established trees provide plenty of shade. Neat brick paths lead down to a barbecue and pool area that has a surrounding timber deck, and the final glorious touch is the property’s original residence, which is still in use as a guest house with living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

Premier slips in without notice Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au HE came. He saw many, but not Shaw.

Premier Denis Napthine arrived in Frankston last week at short notice and strolled the streets to greet and meet residents in an effort to woo voters in the marginal seat.

Dr Napthine’s visit could be the first of many in the lead up to November’s state election with the seat poised on a knife edge and the Liberal and Labor parties keen to oust incumbent Geoff Shaw.

Independent MP Mr Shaw holds the seat by an estimated 0.4 per cent after electorate boundary redistributions late last year.

The Premier and Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead were trailed by a Melbourne media scrum but local press were not notified of Dr Napthine’s surprise visit.

Mr Shaw was nowhere to be seen while the premier patrolled the Frankston MP’s home patch.

A chance meeting between the pair could have been interesting. Channel 9’s A Current Affair tabloid TV show last week featured an interview with Mr Shaw in which he called Dr Naphine “gutless”.

Mr Shaw said he was not guilty of the offence that led to him being suspended from parliament for 11 sitting days – the misuse of a parliamentary vehicle – and hinted any forced apology he would be forced to make as a condition of his return could be “insincere”.

While in town, the Premier met

Drop in to centre: Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead, left, Premier Denis Napthine and Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor were out and about meeting Frankston residents last week. Pictures courtesy Frankston Council

Frankston mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, to discuss high-profile Frankston issues.

Cr Taylor said the meeting had been productive.

“We have his assurances that we will have access to the relevant ministers in relation to the concerns we have about the city centre and particularly the train station precinct,” Cr Taylor said.

Some Frankston councillors have criticised the state government’s latest $13.8 million Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Plan draft proposal as a “broken promise” since it does not include an upgraded bus interchange

and larger car park.

Dr Napthine praised Frankston as “a growing and diverse” city. He praised Mr Armistead as “a great local candidate”.

Mr Armistead said voters could trust him, having voted in Liberal candidate Mr Shaw at the previous 2010 state election only to subsequently see him leave the party.

“As a local, people know me and they know what I stand for,” he said.

The temporary absence of a Labor candidate for Frankston after Helen Constas’ sudden withdrawal from the

All ages singing with one voice SOMEONE wise once said that choirs are the men's sheds of singing, where men can get together in friendship and put their hearts and souls into music.

The adage rings true for Frankston’s own Australian Welsh Male choir, which attracts men of all ages from many walks of life.

Pictured above are Bernie Rumble, Glyn Thomas and Tony Dickinson, the three founding members of the 40-year-old choir, with Craig Chambers and Kristian Kupsch, who, at 42, are its youngest members.

The "Three Amigos" as they are affectionately known, are each holding a red glass dragon, made in Gippsland, and sourced from an expatriate Welshman who runs a boutique glassworks.

The plinths were made by members of the choir.

Glyn, at 92, is an active member of the choir and Craig and Kristian, both with disabilities, are also active and have appeared with the choir at the Sydney Opera House and the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Next May the choir will once again sing in the 1000 Welsh Male concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall, making it the only international choir to be invited to this prestigious event.

Touring success is not unusual for the choir

which was formed by a group of expatriate Welshmen at the Pines Soccer Club in 1973 to sing Christmas carols. It has progressed since then into a prestigious choir singing concerts here and around the world.

In 1983 the choir was invited to join the Association of Welsh Choirs making it, at the time, the only choir outside Wales to be accorded that honour. The following year it toured the UK and sang at the Royal Albert Hall with the 1000 Voice Festival of Choirs. The choristers repeated this tour in 1988, 2000, 2004 and 2012.

Tours have been made to Tasmania and New Zealand to raise money for charities. Fund raising has been a major aim of this choir and thousands have been raised for charities as well as entertaining hundreds of concert goers.

The choir practises at the Baxter Village Chapel in Robinsons Rd on Monday nights, and would welcome any man who wants to sing and enjoy the company and the enjoyment of singing and helping others on the way.

The choir is not for profit and self-funded.

Corporate sponsorship is welcomed to ease the financial burden on individual choristers. If you can help email the secretary on awmcsecretary@ gmail.com

race last month was a positive for the Liberals, according to Mr Armistead.

“It’s the old saying – you’ve got to make hay while the sun shines,” he said. “We’re out there and we’re talking to everybody.”

Frankston councillor James Dooley has put his hand up for preselection as Labor’s candidate but the party has not yet named the replacement candidate for Ms Constas.

The Premier refused to confirm whether the Liberals would agree a preference votes deal with the likes of the Rise Up Australia Party and the

Palmer United Party to swing the marginal seat of Frankston in their favour.

“The preference arrangements will ultimately be decided by our administrative wing and they’ll certainly work with other candidates and other parties to seek preference flows to Sean and the Liberal Party,” Dr Napthine said.

He said the Liberals would not do deals with “extremist” political parties but declined to specifically name them.

The premier noted the Coalition had decided to preference the Greens last at the previous state election in a decision that he said was “vindicated”.

Family and friends have all commented on the positive change, with her husband being especially happy. Jeanette reports that prior to doing LSVT her husband was becoming very frustrated and spent most of his time asking her to repeat herself. Now they communicate with ease.

Jeanette reports that the best thing about the LSVT program was that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Therapists were extremely friendly, helpful and understanding of the problem and took the time to build up P\ FRQĂ&#x20AC;GHQFH LQ P\ DELOLW\ WR EHWWHU communicate on a long term basisâ&#x20AC;?.

6KH VD\V VKH ZRXOG GHĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ recommend the program to other individuals with PD commenting that â&#x20AC;&#x153;they would have nothing to lose and ZRXOG JDLQ FRQĂ&#x20AC;GHQFH LQ WKHLU DELOLW\ WR communicate with others on a day to day basis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and most important of all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they would learn to THINK LOUD!â&#x20AC;?

Jeanette feels that PD is a disease which is greatly affected by attitude and encourages patients not to consider themselves as victims, but rather to seek ways and means of helping themselves and maintaining a positive attitude towards life is extremely important. She says â&#x20AC;&#x153;the LSVT program is excellent and is only one example of the many

facilities and programs available to patients with Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital. They encourage patients to learn to help themselvesâ&#x20AC;?.

Jeanetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message to others is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is only a word, not a VHQWHQFHÂľ VSRNHQ ZLWK D FRQĂ&#x20AC;GHQW DQG loud voice.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Charges of rough play between Hastings and Somerville Compiled by Melissa McCullough OWING to the inclement weather, the meeting to establish a gun club at Somerville, to have been held on Tuesday evening last, was postponed. It will now be held on Monday evening next at the Hotel Somerville. *** AT the meeting of the Mornington shire council held on Thursday, tenders for construction of 3 1/2 miles of the Point Nepean road were considered, and that of Messrs Allnutt and Baker, £4255 2s, was accepted. The council’s day man, Mr Cexhell, was appointed clerk of works. *** THERE has been paid into the taxation office as duty in respect of the estate of John Cleeland, the sum of £91,034.

This represents duty on £89,536 realty and £1498 personally left by deceased. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council, Cr Keast moved, according to notice, that a pound be established at Somerville. Cr Macray seconded the motion proforma, but it was ultimately decided that Crs Keast and Murray be a committee to go into the matter, and report at next meeting. *** IT is announced by cable that Miss Dorothea Wollaston, third daughter of Sir Harry Wollason, formerly Comptroller-General of Customs in Australia, was married this week to M. Georges Ferrand, a Frenchman, engaged in commercial matters. The ceremony took place in the Church of Our Lady

of Victoria, at Kensington. Captain R. M. Collins and other Australians were among the guests. *** THE quarterly meeting of the Frankston Methodist Circuit was held at Langwarrin on the 1st inst. the minister (the Rev R. Jackson) presiding. A slight increase of membership was reported, and the finances were well maintained, a small credit balance showing. Regret was expressed at the enforced absence of the senior circuit steward, Mr A. E. Gault, through illness, and a resolution passed expressive of regret at his serious illness and thanks for past lengthy and untiring services. *** THE following resolution was also passed, and a copy ordered to be sent to the State Premier, “That this quarterly meetings responsibility is to express its opinion that the proposal to introduce into the State School curriculum the art of boxing amongst boys is a step in the wrong direction, and will have the effect of lowering the moral tone of the boys in particular and the community in general; and further, that the school curriculum is sufficiently full as at present constituted therefore we express the hope that the proposal be not further considered, nor any attempt made to carry it into effect.” A deal of business of a routine character was transacted, after which a splendid tea was partaken of, provided by the ladies of Langwarrin church, for which hearty thanks was given. The remainder of the evening was spent in a meeting of a devotional character, and was much enjoyed by those present. ***

DESPITE the somewhat inclement weather, the annual ball in connection with the lodge, held on Wednesday evening, was an unqualified success.

There was a splendid attendance, the dancing spade being taxed to the utmost, while a good number of spectators monopolised the stage. Gabriel’s band provided splendid music, and Mr Lee Devlin, as M.C., kept things going

THE proposed meeting for the purpose of forming a gun club at Somerville has been postponed until Monday evening next, July 13th.

A good attendance requested.

with a swing till the wee sma’ hours.

During an interval a tasty supper was served, and in this direction also there was nothing left to be desired. Mr Moore, who had charge of this department, is to be complimented for the excellent manner in which the catering was done. The ball committee

(Secretary H. Simcock, P.G., A. Sage, and V.G., F. Benson) worked hard to ensure the success of the lodge’s annual function, and the result of their efforts was very apparent on Wednesday evening. All the arrangements for the successful carrying out of the ball were complete in every detail, there being nothing wanting that could add to the enjoyableness of the evening.

Mr John Dyke rendered valuable assistance to the committee. A special word of praise is due to Mrs G. Shepherd, for the beautiful way in which she carried out the decorations of the hall.

The scheme was carried out with paper carnations, the colors of the officers of the lodge predominating, and the effect was charming. The best thanks of the lodge are due this lady for her work in this direction. *** TO THE EDITOR Sir, will you kindly grant me space once more in your valuable paper to reply to the letter written by “One who likes Justice.” It is with some regret I write again, for fear I should create the idea that I look upon the Hastings football team as a rough lot as a whole.

I have known some of them for many years, and I am pleased to meet and shake hands with them either on their ground or ours.

It was the wholesale charge that “One who likes Justice” made against the fairness of the Somerville team in his first letter that 1 took exception to. If he has watched them play he must know that there are as fair footballers in the Somerville team as ever kicked a ball, and when he said the team played the man and not the ball and could not take

a beating-well, it was that “that rose the dander of McCarty.” He says the Somerville player who got hit did not get as much as he deserved. I certainly don’t know what he did, so I do not know what he deserves. I have heard several tales of what he did, but he says he did nothing unfair. The umpire reported him, I believe, for rough play. I only quoted the incident in my letter to show1st: That the umpire was no’ the fairnst ever on the Peninsula; and 2nd: That some of the Hastings players were not so gentle and downhearted as “One who like Justice” would like the general public to believe. He also says “ if the delegates look to the safety of other players they will disqualify the Somerville player for life. I think this is a point for us to discuss, as I think the gentlemen who give their time as delegates are quite capable of carrying on the business of the association without any advice from us. He says I must look through the sixteenth part of an eye, and shut the other one.

Well, that is a very small portion and I think even that is on a par with his common sense, far be it for me or anyone else to say through these columns when and where he was heard ealling out to “rough them up,” and then has not got sense enough to let us know who he is. I do not intend to write again on this subject, as I have had my say and am content to let the matter drop.

T. W. WHITE. Somerville, 5/7/14.

Should Greg stay or should he go?

By Stuart McCullough IT’S just not true. No matter how much you claim that a rose by any other name is just as sweet, if they were called ‘Stinkweed’, nobody would buy them on Valentine’s Day. If Shakespeare had named his key teenage protagonists ‘Darren’ and ‘Pauline’ instead of the more ear pleasing ‘Romeo’ and ‘Juliet’, one of his greatest plays would have long been forgotten. Ditto ‘Rambo’ for ‘Roger’. It wouldn’t matter a jot that Sly Stallone had biceps like Christmas hams, no one’s going to believe that a guy called ‘Roger’ could be a one-man killing machine. It’s simply not credible.

Right or wrong, names matter.

For many people, The Clash hold a dear place in their musical heart. But for all their success, by 1983 they were falling apart. This resulted in the sacking in Mick Jones who, aside from playing guitar, wrote a lot of the songs.

When it comes to bands, sacking your chief songwriter is rarely a recipe for enduring success.

Mick’s role was then replaced by, not one, but two guitarists. Nick Sheppard was recruited from a band called The Cortinas. Nick, without doubt, is a strong rock and roll kind of name even if the name of his former band was weighed down by its links to affordable sedans.

Greg White, of no-fixed previous band, was the second choice. But there was a problem. Bass player Paul Simonon point blank refused to be in a band with someone called ‘Greg’.

It’s fair to say that the recruiting methods of bands would not be consid-

ered best practice. There are few companies that I know of who enforce a ‘no Greg’ policy. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine anyone missing out on a job simply because of his or her name.

That said, I’d probably have second thoughts about hiring someone called ‘Adolf’ or ‘Darth Vader’. Although if you go to the share fridge and find a yoghurt labelled, ‘Property of Darth Vader’, chances are you’d think twice before swiping it.

The Clash would probably have welcomed Darth Vader with open arms.

Not that he was ever a contender.

The Artist Formerly Known as ‘Greg’ obligingly changed his name to ‘Vince’. Whether other names like ‘Adolf’ or ‘Darth’ were even considered has never been revealed. It seems

a strange kind of compromise to force on anyone. But whilst calling yourself ‘Vince’ might get a gig in the world’s biggest punk band, it doesn’t help you write a decent song.

Without Mick Jones, The Clash suffered terribly. Releasing an album entitled Cut the Crap – which, had the band heeded their own advice, would have seen them release two sides of complete silence – it was perhaps inevitable that ‘The Clash’ should break up.

Greg/Vince then left the music industry to work as a mini-cab driver. Life is full of little ironies. He played guitar with a guy who was in a band called The Cortinas and ended up driving one.

Luckily, both ‘Greg’ and ‘Vince’ are acceptable names within the mini-cab industry.

Mornington News 8 July 2014

Some names get all the glory. For example, certain handles feature in songs all the time while others never even get a look in. ‘Cathy’ is a popular choice – Cathy’s Clown by The Everly Brothers and You Am I, not to mention Kathy’s Song by Simon and Garfunkel. Having a ‘Jane’ song in your repertoire seems almost mandatory - there’s Song For Jainie by Tim Buckley, Sweet Jane by the Velvet Underground and Janie’s Got a Gun by Aerosmith. The Clash who, while objecting vociferously to ‘Greg’, had no problem at all with ‘Janie Jones’. Other repeat offenders include Valerie (The Monkees and Amy Winehouse/Mark Ronson) and, in a variety of forms, Sue (Wake Up Little Susie by the Everly Brothers and Runaround Sue by Dion and the Belmonts).

The wind cries ‘Mary’ and it’s also a boat called the ‘Proud Mary’. Some names get all the attention.

Even slightly unusual names can often be lauded in song. Jolene by Dolly Parton, Layla by Eric Clapton and Me and You and a Dog Named Boo by Lobo to name but a few. For crying out loud, even ‘Bo Diddley’ gets multiple mentions (most notably in the song Bo Diddley written by Bo Diddley and performed by – you guessed it – Bo Diddley). And while there may only be one song dedicated to the name ‘Eloise’ it’s an absolute cracker. Performed by Barry Ryan – a name that would have seem him barred from The Clash – the film clip features Ryan on horseback riding along a windswept beach. It’s a pity for everyone that more video clips don’t feature singers on horseback.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no songs featuring the name ‘Stuart’ in the title. This is for the best. That’s despite the fact that my name neatly rhymes with ‘do it’, ‘threw it’ and, perhaps most handily of all, ‘knew it’.

Under no circumstances would I have been allowed to join The Clash. As for the name ‘Greg’, it has finally been rehabilitated. In the 1990s, Melbourne band TISM put out a song called Greg!

The Stop Sign based on a grisly TAC commercial that caused me to give up driving entirely until 1997. The Clash could not fail to be moved. My only hope is that it gave the Artist Formerly known as Greg some comfort. He deserves as much. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Hints & tips for surviving the winter school holidays • Complain of a sore throat.

• Tiny blisters inside the mouth, including blisters around the tongue, palms, fingers, soles of the feet and the genital region. The small blisters are generally not itchy like the chickenpox blisters.

Hands up if you associated winter with sick kids. Hands up again if your kids always get sick over these school holidays! Here are some hints & tips from KidzAid Paediatric First Aid Training to help you navigate through the tissues, cough medicine, bandaids & tears.

Head Injury Bound to be bumps, bangs and knocks along the way. Remember if your baby/child has ANY loss of consciousness, they MUST be seen by a medical professional. If the child has a MILD head injury it is ok to let them sleep, remembering, ANY changes or concerns with your child, you will be straight off to the nearest medical centre or emergency department. Don’t be afraid to call 000 and seek their expert advice.

Gastroenteritis Unfortunately if your child is hit with this highly contagious bug, they are out of bounds from socialising until 48-hours free from vomiting or diarrhoea. With gastroenteritis, it is really important that you are on the look out for dehydration. Ensure your child has plenty of fluids and instead of reaching for the cordials and flat lemonade, reach for an oral rehydration solution. Hydralyte which is scientifically formulated and safe for bubs under 12-months, contains the correct balance of electrolytes and glucose required for rapid rehydration.

Bronchiolitis, Croup and Pneumonia What you need to look out for and when to seek urgent medical assistance: • Increased breathing rate, indicat-

ing your child is not getting enough oxygen.

• Colour changes, your child may appear to have a bluish tinge to their lips, mouth and fingernails, again indicative of lack of oxygen. The skin can also appear gray or pale.

• Noisy breathing – Grunting may be heard when your child exhales. It’s the body’s attempt to try and keep air in the lungs.

• Nasal-flaring - Nostrils flaring in paediatrics is indicating the child is working very hard at breathing.

• Retractions / recession - ribs ‘sucking in’ when they are breathing is another way of trying to bring more air into their lungs.

• Wheezing (whistling, musical sounds) - is indicating that your

child’s air passages are becoming narrower and smaller.

• Tripod position – child will adopt this position to try and draw in as much air as possible to their lungs.

• Observing your child’s behaviour and the level of consciousness is important.

Fractures Hard to escape when it comes to children… Snow trips, skate parks, play centres and endless curiosity and an abundance of no fear!

When in doubt, treat as a fracture.

Immobilise and support the injured limb straight away. Elevate and get that little limb up, think outside the box and use whatever you can. Time to pull out the cold pack as this will

assist with pain and swelling. Reach for your medicine cabinet and give pain relief. Hold off from giving your child any food or fluids at this stage, incase they require surgery. Off to the doctor, a X-ray is required.

Hand, foot and mouth disease This is a viral infection predominately seen in children (under 10 years) and young adults. The viral infection is very common, easily spread but rarely causes complications. Signs and symptoms generally develop three to seven days after exposure to an infected person, the duration of the virus is usually seven to ten days.

• Fever.

• Tiredness.

• Poor appetite.

Slapped Cheek Slapped cheek is a fairly mild viral illness also called parvovirus B19.

Its name comes about because of its most obvious symptom, a red rash that makes the child’s cheeks look like they have been slapped. Slapped cheek is spread through personal contact, including coughing and sneezing. Key points to remember include: • Initial symptoms such as the headache, fever, tummy upsets is the time when the parvovirus B19 can spread to others, making it hard to identify as these symptoms are common for a range of childhood illnesses.

• Allowing the child to rest and fight the infection is the key management for Slapped Cheek.

• As soon as the rash is visible on the child’s face, they are no longer infectious to others, so can therefore attend school / day care.

For more information on these or many other children’s health topics, visit www.kidzaid.com.au. If your child is unwell and you are unsure always seek the direct advice of your OWN medical practitioner or dial 000 and seek medical assistance immediately. While prepared by experienced and qualified health professionals, the above should be considered as opinion and general advice only.

Stonecats put squeeze on Pythons PENINSULA LEAGUE

over his hamstring tear while Ryley Hodson and Casey Radford were outstanding.

Joel Brunn has been superb for the Pythons this season and was again on Saturday, while Beau Hendry and Shaun White worked really hard.

It was the first game the Pythons have lost since coach Steve Ryan announced he was resigning from the position.

The Pythons are already actively looking for replacements and some interesting conversations have already taken place.

It is believed that two of Pines’ opponents on Saturday are on their priority list – the Barry cousins, Byron and Anthony.

The Barrys were close to leaving last season, offered big deals to go elsewhere and coach.

Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers is doing a wonderful job with the team and he has them playing inspired football.

Whilst it is believed there were teething problems initially, the Stonecats are now purring.

Mathers said it was always going to take time for the list to get used to new ways of doing things.

“We haven’t changed things too much. It’s been a winning formula but we have just tinkered,” Mathers said.

“We’ve given some players some

By Toe Punt PINES was brought back to earth with a thud after Frankston YCW strangled them for three of the four quarters to record a 57-point victory 2.9 (21) to 11.12 (78).

It was the only Peninsula League game played on Saturday.

Mornington and Mt Eliza and Chelsea and Edithvale played on Sunday.

The remaining two games will be played next Saturday to conclude yet another split round.

We are all very well aware that the strength of the Stonecats is the defensive unit, led by Byron and Anthony Barry.

On Saturday at Eric Bell Reserve, the visitors restricted the home side to five behinds in the first half.

Pines kicked their only two goals in the third quarter, courtesy of Chris Guganovic and Guy Hendry.

Frankston YCW excitement machine Kyle Hutchison kicked more goals himself than the opposition. He finished with three majors.

Anthony Barry found himself off the leash and forward of centre on a number of occasions, finishing with two goals while Ben Tellis also kicked multiple goals.

Ash Eames played his best game for the season and seems to be well

Melee a distasteful scene OFFICIALS from Red Hill and Hastings Football Clubs need to have a good look at themselves after an on-field incident at half time on Saturday.

A couple of small fights broke out just before the half time siren, before every player got involved once the siren had gone.

There were a couple of disturbing things to be seen during these seven minutes of high testosterone and emotion.

The first was that the trainers should not have gone anywhere near the melee. However, there were some white shirts sticking their noses into a place where they shouldn’t have been.

Then, as the players had broken away and were happy to head back to the change rooms, leading officials from each club started to hurl abuse at one another as they walked from the

new roles and responsibilities and they seem to be enjoying the change.”

The general consensus is that the change of coach has brought some new life into the club.

For the Stonecats, it’s certainly making a difference.

For the opposition, it’s something they wouldn’t want to be hearing.

Inaccuracy in front of goal cost Edithvale-Aspendale a big win against neighbour Chelsea.

The Eagles were always going to win the clash, however, it should have made a lot more from its 34 scoring shots to 32.

Edithvale’s Matt Clark was clearly the best player on the ground, really making a statement after 18 months away from the game.

The Gulls, who were never in the contest, were best served by Fia Tootoo. The Gulls would have lost by more than 72 points if he wasn’t on the park.

The final score was 14.20 (104) to 5.2 (32).

In the other Sunday game, Mornington turned the tables on Mt Eliza, smashing the home side 9.7 (61) to 2.13 (25).

The Doggies were beaten by the Redlegs in the corresponding game in round one, however, were well in control on Sunday at Emil Masden Reserve.

field, right in front of spectators.

Thankfully, the situation didn’t escalate and they all shared a sausage roll and cold beverage during the half time break.

However, club people in positions of power should lead by example and leave what happens on the field, on the field.

Murray a few weeks away

CRIB POINT will be without Aaron Murray for a few weeks yet.

Murray has only been training for the past week with the Pies and won’t be match fit for at least another three weeks you would expect.

Murray is coming off a knee reconstruction he suffered two seasons ago. It was his second knee reconstruction.

Murray crossed from his home club Somerville in controversial circumstances two weeks ago, joining former Eagle teammate and favourite son, Glenn Boyd.

‘Azza’ has been keeping himself fit and strong, competing in triathlons.

He will be a wonderful acquisition for the Pies, who lost key forward Toron Petrie a fortnight ago.

Goals galore as Hillmen blitz Hastings NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt A BLISTERING nine goal third quarter saw Red Hill continue on its merry way in Nepean League on Saturday against Hastings.

The Hillmen trailed by 13 points at the major change after the home side dominated the quarter, booting six goals to five behinds.

Taylor Stratton was giving his side plenty of drive from the half back line, Justin Berry and Josh Mulheron were working well through the middle and around the ground and Kane Stratton was given a little bit of licence in the back half.

Steven Robb was also looking lively for the Blues and Dale Alanis and Steve Charalambous were getting their hands on the footy.

It was a great, free flowing contest in the first half and it appeared the Blues had the upper hand.

There was also plenty of feeling in the game also. A melee happened just before the half time siren and then flowed into the half time break.

Officials from both sides, who should have known better, were also involved.

Red Hill has been unrelenting in third quarters this season and kicking with the wind, many believed the pacy visitors could turn it on again.

For the first 17 minutes, Hastings did a wonderful job restricting the Hillmen, despite them getting their noses in front.

However, what happened in the next 8-10 minutes was super impressive.

Red Hill booted six unanswered goals in that space of time and blew Hastings off the park.

Jarryd Douglas, who was clearly the difference between the sides, booted four goals in the third quarter and finished the afternoon with six.

Why Hastings didn’t play a loose defender in front of him when he was clearly Red Hill’s only target was staggering.

Robbie Clements, who was released from Frankston Dolphins, played onball and completely dominated. His class and ball use, despite the slippery conditions, were noticeable.

Paul Wintle had the toughest task for the afternoon playing on Colin McVeigh. Wintle matched ‘Col’ in all aspects of the game and even showed the Blues’ star up a few times with his work at ground level.

Benny Maguiness turned the clock back and dominated through the middle while the Dal Lago brothers, Marcus and Pete showed great leadership and composure. Jake Mitchell was also outstanding, his left foot hurting the Blues on many occasion throughout the match.

Red Hill has certainly matured since losing to Rye in the last kick of the day.

Hastings were always going to come back with the wind in the last quarter and they did, booting three goals in

three minutes to get within four goals.

However, as the rain became heavier, so did the composure and lock down of Red Hill.

The Hillmen got a number behind the footy, they slowed the tempo of the match and ensured that Hastings didn’t get their hand off the footy. The Hillmen robbed the Blues of the footy.

When Douglas kicked his sixth of the match at the 20-minute mark, the game was done.

Red Hill ran out comfortable 32-point winners in the end, 15.16 (106) to 10.14 (74).

Whilst Hastings has plenty of injuries, Red Hill won without their leading goal kicker Jarryd Eames and running machines Luke Adams and Matt Hyden.

Whilst there were some at the ground that believe Red Hill’s lack of height will cost them come finals time, their leg speed, pressure, workrate and ability to hit up a lead are first class.

A 6.5’ ruckman who can fill a hole down back or rest forward would top the Hillmen off nicely.

Rosebud moved inside the top five with a commanding 84-point win against Pearcedale at Olympic Park Oval.

Inaccuracy in front of goal cost the Buds a three-figure winning margin, however, restricting the opposition to less than three goals did wonders for their percentage.

When percentage is going to be so important this season at the business end, Rosebud’s is very healthy at 136.74.

Rye, who is in sixth place on the sale amount of wins (six), has a percentage of 103.88.

Hastings is in seventh place, a further game back (five wins) but has a percentage of 122.21.

Of those three clubs fighting it out for a place in the top five, Hastings has by far the easiest run home.

Rosebud tall timber Ben Shultz and Ben Dwyer each booted three goals for the Buds while a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard. Tom Baker and Glenn Peterson continued their outstanding form.

Chris Fortnam and Matty White were the best of the Panthers, while Trav Sauer worked hard.

Frankston Bombers made it two wins on the trot, upsetting Rye by 15 points at Greg Beck Oval.

In tight contest all afternoon, the Bombers led for the large majority of the afternoon to win 10.13 (73) to 8.10 (58).

Jay Reynolds and Ryan Marks-Logan (three goals) were sensational for the winners while Ben Simmons and Sam Drake were also at their finest.

Chris Gleeson worked tirelessly for the Demons up front and finished with four majors while Adam Kirkwood and Luke Semmel tried hard.

Crib Point had little trouble getting the four points against Devon Meadows, winning 16.18 (114) to 7.7 (49).

The Pies started well with the win, kicking six goals to one in the first quarter and setting up the win.

Glenn Boyd finished the day with four goals while Luke Herrington kicked three. Dean Warry and David Cook were outstanding.

Alex Doria and Pat Boland were the best of Devon, while Steve McInnes was also very good with three goals.

Leigh Poholke kicked six goals for Sorrento in their 12-goal win against Somerville.

Just like the Magpies, the Sharks booted six goals to one in the opening term and set-up the 18.11 (119) to 6.10 (46) victory.

Ben McCormack was again at his best for the Sharks in the back half, supported well by Chris Bagot, who is back at his best. Todd Hounsell also played arguably his best game for the Sorrento Football Club.

Timmy Hirst and Jedd Sutton were the best of the Eagles.

Anthony Bruhn booted eight goals and Cam Park five as Dromana booted 25.35 (185) to Tyabb’s 4.5 (29).

The Tigers had 25 scoring shots in the first half and 23 scoring shots in the final quarter!

Ash Souter and Rohan West were the best of the Yabbies.

Never in doubt: Red Hill got up over Hastings by 32 points after a nine-goal blitz in the third quarter got the Hillmen home and hosed. Pictures: Andrew Hurst
