Taking care of your sight with service and style REGARDLESS of age or physical health, regular eye tests are of vital importance.

An eye test does far more than just determine your prescription for spectacles and contact lenses. Your optometrist checks eye movement and alignment, assesses how your eyes work together and evaluates your eyes as an indicator of general health.

The team at Main Street Eye Care are the experts at ensuring the health of your eyes, with three experienced optometrists on staff, Louise Hawkinson, Michael Kozulin and Chris Panagus.

As owner and manager of Main Street Eyecare, Kay Tyrie, is passionate about spectacles and eye health.

Main Street Eyecare is Mornington’s oldest optometrist, and has been owned by Kay since 2001 and run as a family business. All her staff have a dedication to customer service and patient care, something Kay feels very strongly about in today’s increasingly homogenized retail world.

“We treat our customers the way we’d like to be treated, no matter the reason for their visit,” Kay explains. “The heath of your eyes and the quality of your vision is of paramount importance, but it is equally vital that you feel comfortable and happy with your eyewear. That’s why we use the latest in lens technology as well as providing unique frames you won’t find anywhere else.”

The team at Main Street Eye Care will also be able to detect high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as common eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, conditions that can be managed with early detection.

As much as a general checkup by your doctor, regular eye tests by an optometrist are an important part of your overall health maintenance.

Struggling with vision at any age makes daily life a chore; an eye test can check if you are long or short

sighted, preventing tired eyes and headaches that are caused by poor vision or eye disease, ad keeping you safe on the roads.

For children, they ensure normal vision development and continued academic achievement during the pressures of school and play.

It is recommended that you have your eyes checked every two years, or annually if there is a family history of eye disease.

If you do need spectacles, then Main Street Eye Care also have a wonderful range of spectacle frames from Australia and Europe.

With over 30 years of experience, Kay has an eye for - and love of - fashion and delights in helping people find just the right pair of glasses to suit their look and lifestyle.

“If your eyes are the window to your soul, then your glasses are the window frames,” explains Kay. “They are your first point of contact with someone, and we don’t all want to look the same.”

Main Street Eyecare prides itself on stocking a wide range of designer frames, specialising in European and Australian designed and made. Featuring the likes of Lindberg, Jono Hennessy, Paul Taylor, TAG and Red Bull, as well as offering custom made frames by Roger Henley that can be tailored specifically to your wishes.

Whether it is prescription sunglasses or regular spectacles, you can also choose from European brands like Michal Henau, from France.

Main Street Eye Care is the only stockist of Tom Ford spectacles, as well as Lindberg, a Danish brand that weigh only 1.9 grams, making them extremely light and comfortable.

Main Street Eye Care is at 57 Main St, Mornington.

Design expert Shaynna Blaze’s top tips to consider when renovating WHEN renovating a home, we often look to the experts to gather tips and inspiration to ensure the best possible results. Australian interior design expert, Shaynna Blaze identifies five key elements to consider with a kitchen or bathroom remodel on any budget.

The face of hit shows, The Block and Selling Houses Australia, is a long term fan of Granite Transformations, and recently enlisted the leading makeover specialists to renovate the kitchen, kitchenette and bathroom in her new studio in Hawthorn, Victoria. “Granite Transformations enabled renovators like me, to revamp my kitchen and bathroom by working with the existing surfaces and cabinets, for a proportion of the cost of a complete demolition and rebuild.

It’s been fantastic working with the team at Granite Transformations and incorporating their quality products and surfaces in this design space and I am excited to reveal the results,� Shaynna says. Whether you are working with a modest budget or investing significantly, Shaynna has the following fundamental tips to consider when renovating: Small budget, HUGE inspiration!

Collect everything and anything that inspires you, and create your own lookbook or mood board to capture it all. “In the kitchen I was inspired by the heritage of the 1880 building while still

making if feel and work as a kitchen of the 21st century. Whereas the bathroom was complete fantasy, taking reference of an era of the pomp and ceremony of times of Versailles,� says Shaynna.

Usage – Who is using the space and how? It’s important to think about who is going to be in the area and how the

area is going to be used on a daily basis. “Keeping these things in mind helps to create your layout, the appliances and fittings you need, right down to the colour palette you will select.�

Define your must haves.

Both the bathroom and kitchen are frequently used spaces and therefore

o t y a w y r a n io t lu A revo ’s t a h t n e h c it k r u renovate yo 3 ‌ 2 ‌ 1 s a y s a as e

it’s critical the fittings are both functional and practical but also visually appealing. Ensure you have accounted for those items you can’t live without and build from there. The mood was first priority in the studio for Shaynna; “This is an area that is not just for me so I wanted whoever walks in the room

to be transported somewhere. The fullscale Trend Surface mosaic on the end wall was the starting point where everything was built from and then I was able to work out the lighting, fittings and flooring from there.�

Make the most of the spaces footprint. Limited space often restricts the layout of a kitchen or bathroom.

Ensure every space is well thought out and planned. “With only one wall for tall items in the kitchen my main priority was to make sure I would be able to fit as much bench, drawer and cupboard space as possible.�

Add colour, texture and patterns.

Colour, texture and patterns are stylistic building blocks of any decorating palette. These key elements help to create the style, mood and the feel of each room. “The kitchen has subtle features with panel details in the island bench and glass overhead cabinets with a modern twist on the herringbone pattern in the mirror splashback tiles.

The bathroom takes it to a more extreme level of a period style with detail in every form from tiles and light fittings to the furniture which was a signature of the Victorian era, even though all the details aren’t of a Victorian nature.�

GRANITE TRANSFORMATIONS specialise in transforming your tired and outdated kitchen into the kitchen of your dreams, without the huge expense associated with a complete demolition and rebuild.

Golfer about to join the 100 club RALPH Godfrey’s a regular golfer; has been for years.

He hit a hole in one 59 years ago and has a couple of competition wins under his belt at Frankston Golf Club.

Sometimes rain might delay his start, but a couple of games a week is never out of the question.

His family and mates are getting ready for a lunch to celebrate Mr Godfrey’s life, nor just his golfing prowess, although he credits the game with providing a reason to live.

Mr Godfrey will be 100 in October.

Allies plan to fight crime Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au POLICE, security companies, retailers, major shopping chains and municipalities joined forces last week to plan how to better combat crime in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Crime Prevention Alliance – the first of its kind in Victoria and running since February – aims to find ways to cut anti-social and criminal behaviour

around public places and shopping centres.

This will be done by “sharing good practice and crime prevention strategies”, according to its initiator, Senior Sergeant Dean Clinton, of Frankston’s Proactive Programs Unit.

The alliance’s 16 members met at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Queen St offices to discuss potential anticrime themes and cross-match tactics and strategies.

Sergeant Clinton said the alliance wanted to empower retailers and shop-

ping centre managemers to adopt their own crime prevention plans over 12 months and to take action to prevent crime.

“We meet on a regular basis and share ideas and gather information to help spot trends in offender behaviour,” he said.

“The idea is to give businesses the tools and knowledge to implement better prevention measures against common crimes, such as shoplifting, theft from motor vehicles, and property damage.

“We’re also engaging with contractors in industrial estates and retailers in shopping strips to implement similar preventative strategies.

“We share ideas that are proven to reduce or prevent theft – GPS tracking, positioning of warning signs and security cameras, marking high risk items and training staff to be on the lookout for suspect customers.

“Something as simple as implementing a Crime Stoppers board can lead to a drop in crime rates as it shows repeat offenders that they’ve been spotted.”

Last year, about 1400 thefts from stores were reported in the Frankston and on the peninsula.

“The flow-on effects can dramatically impact perceptions among the community and people may choose to avoid certain areas as a result,” Senior Sergeant Clinton said.

“We’re all responsible for helping to prevent crime in our community and by working together we can work smarter to help make a difference.”

International investors eye peninsula Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au

the late 19th and early 20th century. It has 31 bedrooms, two large lounges, a courtyard, dining area for 100 and is not subject to foreign investment restrictions, according to its selling agent.

The Pig and Whistle Tavern on Purves Rd, Main Ridge, is on the market again after just two years. It is listed at $3.4 million and is being sold by Mornington commercial estate agent Kevin Wright.

Colonial Leisure Group, owned by Computershare founder and millionaire Chris Morris, is selling the Portsea Hotel, a version of which has existed since 1876.

The price has been reported as $25 million but an industry insider told The News the property itself was worth $16 million and the value of the business would go on top of this.

Rumours of the sale being due to the loss of the beach below the hotel since channel dredging in 2009 have been scotched by several sources but The News understands the business is not doing as well as several years ago when it was under different management. Mr Morris acquired a 100 per cent interest in the pub in 2012.

Colonial Leisure Group owns several other well-known pubs in greater Melbourne. It also owns Barragunda, the historic property in the green wedge at Cape Schanck that has a permit for a brewery, restaurant, function room, produce outlet, retail plant nursery and caretaker’s house. The permit was issued by the shire council more than four years ago but nothing has been built.

Rumours ‘all the time’ at Morning Star MT Eliza’s iconic property Morning Star Estate (pictured) was one of the peninsula properties inspected by overseas buyers this winter.

Last Friday, owner Judy Barrett’s daughter Christine told The News that people were always coming to the property and asking if it was for sale.

“Did you hear last week’s rumour that we had sold for $14 million?” she said. “Judy is not selling; we’re here to stay.”

The property in Sunnyside Rd, Mt Eliza, started life as Sunnyside, the home of Francis Albert Gillett, a Londoner who arrived in the colony in the 1860s and played a prominent role in the early life of the district. Gillett designed Sunnyside, which was built in about 1867, and nearby Manyung.

The 38-hectare property was bought by the Franciscan order in 1932 and became a training farm for delinquent boys and later a horse stud. It was bought by Judy Barrett in 1992 and restored to its former glory. It is now a boutique accommodation, restaurant and events venue with 12 hectares of pinot, chardonnay and cabernet grapes as well as 75,000 rose bushes and hundreds of fruit and olive trees.

TWO iconic Mornington Peninsula properties are set to change hands as overseas, interstate and Victorian investors consider the delights of owning real estate in “Melbourne’s playground”.

The investors include a group from overseas who recently toured the peninsula looking at opportunities.

Sunny Ridge strawberry farm in Main Ridge, and Moonah Links golf course in Fingal (inland from Rye) are the two latest properties to join a growing list of landmark holdings on the market or already sold.

Moonah Links leads the pack, having been sold two weeks ago to overseas buyers for an undisclosed after being on the market for more than a year.

The list includes the Portsea Hotel, Sorrento’s Continental Hotel ($15 million), Eagle Ridge golf course in Boneo ($10m), Whitehall Guest House in Sorrento ($4.5m), and Pig and Whistle Tavern in Main Ridge ($3.4m).

Sunny Ridge, Australia’s secondbiggest strawberry producer, is offered for sale by tender with three serious buyers shown over the operation recently. The business has four farm blocks, one in Queensland (104 hectares), one in the Yarra Valley (118ha) and two on the peninsula (combined 108ha) that include the lucrative retail outlet and pick-your-own fields at Main Ridge. Sunny Ridge also grows blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, and has a turnover of $30 million

a year. The company sold 2.6 million kilograms of berries in 2013-14.

Moonah Links with its 88-room Peppers hotel and conference centre went on the market more than a year ago with a price of between $10-15 million. Set on 238 hectares, it comprises two golf courses designed by five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson. It was owned by Paddy Handbury, a nephew of Rupert Murdoch.

Eagle Ridge golf course is about 45 hectares. It started out as the smaller Carlogie golf course. It 1988 an additional parcel of land was purchased, and a championship-standard course opened in 1989. It was acquired by the Russo family in 1995. A new clubhouse with ballroom and commercial kitchen was built in 2000, and fairways were changed to drought-tolerant grass in 2007-08, nearly halving water use.

Its replacement value has been reported as being $15 million plus but it’s on the market for about $10 million.

Sorrento’s Continental Hotel has been for sale since March (“Sorrento hotel on market for $15m”, The News, 17/3/15) and has attracted wide interest. It was built by the “Father of Sorrento” George Coppin in 1875 and is the only four-storey limestone structure in the southern hemisphere. It’s had just eight owners in 140 years including the Di Pietro family, who bought it in 1996.

Whitehall Guest House at the ocean end of Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento, is reputedly another Coppin creation.

It was built in about 1903 and is one of the town’s few remaining grand guest houses from the halcyon days of

Snapper down, but not out

DEADLINE FOR NEXT ISSUE: 1PM ON THURSDAY 27 AUGUST 2015 NEXT ISSUE PUBLICATION DATE: TUESDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2015

ALTHOUGH the number of snapper spawned in Port Phillip last year Was less than in previous years Fisheries Victoria executive director, Travis Dowling, says it is “nothing to be alarmed about”.

Mr Dowling says “natural fluctuations” are “perfectly normal in wild fish populations”.

And he does not see the drop in spawning success affecting catches in the bay.

“We are fortunate that this lower spawning year follows two very successful spawning seasons for snapper, which will ensure the fishery remains

productive for years to come,” Mr Dowling said.

“Our scientists have undertaken these surveys of baby snapper in late March for 23 years and know to expect variation in spawning success depending on environmental conditions.

“Port Phillip is the most important spawning area for snapper in central and western Victoria.

“The surveys indicate low spawning success is more common than high spawning success, but the snapper fishery can remain strong with only a few highly successful spawnings each decade.”

Mr Dowling said key factors affecting the numbers of baby snapper included how many adults produced eggs, water temperature and nutrient input.

“The latter two factors affect the survival rate of young snapper and are influenced by the timing and magnitude of spring/summer temperature increases and flows down the Yarra River,” he said.

Mr Dowling said it was important anglers obeyed bag and size limits for snapper “to ensure a high quality fishery that is robust to these variations in spawning success”.

Shire in step to carbon neutrality David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE shire council could close the Rye tip by late 2018 as it seeks to become carbon neutral.

The goal of becoming carbon neutral advanced another step at the council’s meeting on Monday last week when councillors voted to develop a policy that includes the vital step of closing the tip or landfill.

The tip emits nearly half the shire’s carbon dioxide. If it remains open following the opening of a new “cell� for waste, emissions will rise by nearly half by 2050 instead of falling by about three-quarters, the meeting was told.

Shire waste could be sent to the huge landfill about an hour away in Hampton Park if Rye tip were to close.

First steps in the carbon neutral plan include improving energy efficiency, upgrading street lights, more use of solar power, offsetting remaining emissions by buying carbon offsets within the shire, and shortterm spending.

Part of the strategy involves revegetation that would absorb CO2 in the quest to have the shire accredited as carbon neutral. A variety of other programs, including a pilot program with sporting clubs and a federally funded shire aged and disability care project, aim to cut energy costs for residents across the peninsula.

The shire renewable resources team led

by Jessica Wingad was congratulated by Cr Tim Rodgers, who set the new policy in

motion at a meeting last November.

He praised Ms Wingad and her team for the “brilliant� report. For the past decade the shire had involved the community in climate change, with speakers including Professor Tim Flannery addressing meetings in the shire, he said. “We had about 3000 people attend our Climate Change Conversation meetings around the peninsula,� Cr Rodgers said. “The halls were packed. People were very keen to find out about the issue of climate change. They wanted to know about the science, the facts and the future. “And they wanted to know what council and they could do to mitigate and adapt to climate change.�

Now we all know the facts, he said. “We all know that sea levels are rising, summers are getting hotter, heatwaves are killing the frail and elderly, our drains are failing to cope with storms, coasts are crumbling, and the bushfire season continues to lengthen. “So the research says that we must do something about it and we have got to do something about it now – both to mitigate and adapt.�

The carbon neutral report was about mitigation, he said. “It is about the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council doing its bit; our bit to become carbon neutral.�

The next step in the program occurs at the 14 September council meeting when the shire’s municipal waste and resource recovery strategy is due to be discussed. The future of Rye tip will no doubt come up.

Furry friends: Members of the Samoyed Club parade their dogs on the pier at Safety Beach.

Dog day afternoon at the beach SAFETY Beach residents could have been forgiven for thinking they were in the Yukon on Sunday last week when 22 samoyeds came strolling along the beach.

Along with a Jack Russell and dalmatian they posed for a group photo on the jetty and then walked to the Tassels Cove off-leash beach for a play and run with the locals, before walking around Martha Cove boardwalk.

The occasion was a monthly pet walk by members of The Samoyed Club of Victoria which visits different locations in Victoria. The aim is to promote the breed and to encourage socialisation and education among pet owners and the public.

Previous walks have taken in the Botanic Gardens, a ferry to Queenscliff, and parts of Melbourne. Also, the samoyed Santa sled team tows Santa through shop-

ping centres at Mornington and Mt Eliza and childcare centres and nursing homes around Melbourne each year. Last year members participated in the “I Gave a Woof� fundraiser at Rosebud, a fund raising effort by The Angel Op Shop’s Pink Angels.

Club members say samoyeds have lovely temperaments and patiently allow young children to snuggle and cuddle them.

They were originally used to hunt seals, herd reindeer and haul sleds for the Samoyede people of north western Siberia, and were treated as members of the family.

On track to be top spot for events MORNINGTON Racing Club has been given more than $2 million of state government money towards a $5m renovation of its grandstand.

Once the refurbishment is finished, the club will have the “largest events centre on the peninsula”, according to Racing Minister Martin Pakula.

The work includes renovating the grandstand’s ground floor “creating a new range of quality spaces for the race going public and club members on racedays”, Melbourne Racing Club CEO Brodie Arnhold said.

Work is planned to be finished in time for the William Hill Peninsula Cup Day on 1 November.

Mr Arnold said the “new spaces” would offer “luxury options” for non-raceday events, “positioning Mornington Racecourse as the new premium event destination on the Mornington Peninsula”.

“In 2010 when we merged with Mornington Racing Club we made a commitment to invest in upgrading the facilities and it’s great to see these plans come to fruition with the support of the industry,” Mr Arnold said.

“At Mornington Racecourse we strive to maintain our place as the best country track in Victoria and grow as a key peninsula tourist attraction.”

The Racing Minister Martin Pakula said racing at Mornington provided a “spectacular day out”.

“This $5 million refurbishment will make Mornington Racecourse the largest events centre on the peninsula, attracting even bigger crowds to its many race days throughout the season and providing the local community with an outstanding venue,” Mr Pakula said.

Mornington News 25 August 2015

MORNINGTON MP David Morris has slammed the state government’s announcement of $19,000 funding for Osborne Primary School as “insulting”.

“Their announcement of a paltry $19,000 in additional funding has questionable motives,” he said.

“I do welcome the $19,000: every dollar certainly puts the school closer to where it needs to be. But why is it only $19,000? Why did they not receive any funding from the budget?

Mr Morris said the state Coalition before the election had committed $960,000 towards works at the school. “That is an astonishing 50 times what they have received,” he said.

“If Labor had taken their time, listened and understood the needs of every school, they would have known the funding offered is simply insulting given the genuine need.”

The “pittance offered will not even pay the planning costs for the work required”, he said.

Golf’s no handicap to centenarian Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PLAYING golf has “kept me alive”, says Mt Eliza enthusiast Ralph Godfrey, who is about to celebrate his 100th birthday.

He likes nothing better than spending time each week on the course – sometimes playing three rounds with his mates at Frankston Golf Club in Golf Links Rd. “I always look forward to playing golf,” Mr Godfrey said.

“I like meeting people and I’ve found that hitting a little white ball around the course for two and a half hours makes me forget any problems.”

After losing his wife in 2008 he maintains he would not be alive today if it were not for his love of the game and the deep friendships he has with club members.

A member since 1982, Mr Godfrey has won two club Eclectic competitions and, when a mere 90, was good enough to win the John Robinson Trophy. This came on top of a hole-in-one he scored while playing at Seabrook Golf Club, Wynyard, Tasmania, in 1956.

The old soldier, a lieutenant in the Second 21st Battalion, better known as Gulf Force, was a prisoner of war for four years after the Japanese overran the island of Ambon in World War II. Mr Godfrey believes he may be one of three surviving members of the battalion of 1031 men, of who hundreds were executed by the enemy.

The memories of those dangerous days and his strength of commitment run deep and have led Mr Godfrey and the other survivors to return to Ambon to help the islanders, providing generators, electrical and hospital equipment and water pumps. This goes some way to adequately thanking them for their “behind the lines” assistance in helping the AIF soldiers imprisoned on their island.

But the terrors of those fateful days are long gone for this convivial sportsman. He is looking

forward to enjoying his 100th birthday lunch with golfing friends on Tuesday 13 October, as well as the company of his family and especially his daughter, Penny, who is coming from South Africa for the occasion.

“The event is in support of his great achievement in attaining 100 years of age and also surviving the inhumane treatment he suffered during his wartime imprisonment,” long-time friend and playing partner Alan Glover said.

Puma fuel depot decision will depend on study outcome DESPITE buying land at Hastings, Puma Energy says it is conducting a feasibility study before deciding on using it for a fuel storage and distribution depot.

No permit applications have been lodged with Mornington Peninsula Shire, although any approval could be required to include detailed traffic reports, flora and fauna surveys, and cultural heritage and management plans.

The use of the land for a fuel tank farm would appear to fit in with the state government’s stated wish that the Port of Hastings be increasingly used for the import and export of “bulk” goods, such as gas, fuel and, possibly, brown coal.

Puma paid $2.2 million for eight hectares of land in Bayview Rd and is believed to have already held discussions with Esso Australia about using the Long Island Point jetty to bring ashore its imported fuels.

“Puma Energy can confirm we have purchased eight hectares of land on Bayview Rd, Hastings. This site has the potential to become a fuel import terminal, however we are in the very early stages of a feasibility study and will not be able to confirm the site’s use until this assessment has been completed,” Christie Patten, of Cole Lawson Communications, told The News.

News that Puma Energy had bought land at Hastings for a fuel storage and distribution centre came in the same week that maintenance workers at nearby Esso were taking industrial action against longer shifts, roster changes and staff cuts.

company said it was too early to give details of the size of the proposed tank farm or how many ships could be expected to bring fuel to the depot.

Neither the Port of Hastings Development Authority nor Esso would say if they had been in talks with Puma Energy.

The shire’s statutory planning manager Niall Sheehy said the shire did not “currently have an application in

Bayview Rd but we have an application for 5 Barclay Crescent (which becomes Bayview Rd) to extend an existing fuel depot”.

“An application of this nature [Puma’s] will be advertised and referred to a number of internal [shire] departments for comments as well as WorkCover.”

An industry insider said Esso had been approached

by Puma, which would need a pipe to the tank farm.

The jetty used by Esso is owned by the state government but Esso would need to be fully involved in the proposal. The government also owns the jetty at Crib Point, which United Petroleum uses to import petroleum products.

At the end of Long Island Drive are two gates – one on Crown land leading to the jetty and one at the entrance to Esso.

The insider told The News Puma would likely bring into Western Port 15 ships a year of about 40,000 tonnes each, a ship every 24 days.

Taking each load of fuel from the proposed tank farm on Bayview Rd opposite BlueScope’s mill would require 1000 B-double trucks, each carrying about 40 tonnes. There would be 30 truck trips each day to and from Hastings with the vehicles likely to use Frankston-Flinders Rd between Hastings and the Baxter on-ramp of Peninsula Link. This would take the trucks through Tyabb and Somerville.

The state government is already being pressured to complete the duplication of Western Port Highway to take industrial traffic off FrankstonFlinders Rd, which passes through several residential and shopping areas. The road is single lane each way between North Rd at Pearcedale and the roundabout just north of Hastings.

Puma arrived in Australia about three years ago. The Swiss company has embarked on an expansion program that will see it spend up to $250 million on storage and distribution infrastructure as the major oil refinery companies withdraw from Australia.

Puma’s major shareholders include Trafigura, and Angola’s national oil company.

Hunt converts to same-sex marriage cause Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au ONGOING tensions within the Liberal Party over the legalisation of samesex marriage have been downplayed by federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt.

A passionate Mr Hunt told The News last Friday he believed media claims of internal party divisions in the aftermath of a Liberal party room meeting earlier this month to discuss same-sex marriage legalisation have been overblown.

Workplace Minister Eric Abetz slamming cabinet leakers as “gutless� as differences of opinion on same-sex marriage emerged publicly after the

meeting held behind closed doors in the Liberal party room on Tuesday 11 August.

Mr Hunt revealed he spoke in favour of marriage equality during the Liberal party room debate and backed a “free conscience vote� by MPs not tied along party policy lines. “I do support same-sex marriage and that view has evolved over recent years through conversations with the community,� he said.

Mr Hunt has changed his mind on same-sex marriage since voting against a private members bill in September 2012 to legalise marriage for gay and lesbian couples.

The member for Flinders was among 98 MPs who voted against the

proposal. Just 42 supported the bill at the time.

Mr Hunt said he now supports samesex marriage “subject to strong protections of religious freedom�.

The Environment Minister in the Abbott government says there is no animosity between himself and Dunkley Liberal MP and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson, for example, despite differing views on same-sex marriage (‘Liberals remain divided on same-sex marriage’, The News 18/8/15).

Mr Billson favours “the formal recognition of same-sex relationships� rather than its legalisation and says “going to a process after the next election that puts the question [on legalis-

ing same-sex marriage] to the people enables all individuals to have their say�.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a longtime opponent of same-sex marriage, has rejected any party room backing of a free vote for Liberal MPs and instead favours a national plebiscite or referendum if the Coalition government wins a second term in office.

Opposition leader Bill Shorten has vowed to legalise same-sex marriage without a plebiscite or referendum within 100 days of Labor winning government.

Changed vows: Flinders MP Greg Hunt now backs same-sex marriage having previously voted against its legalisation.

Human rights czar puts family first at forum Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A HIGH-PROFILE federal government appointee with family links to the Mornington Peninsula is set to address a Liberal Party event in Mt Martha early next month.

Australia’s Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson, who makes regular media appearances on shows such as the ABC’s Q&A and Channel Ten’s The Project, will be guest speaker at the Briars Historic Homestead in Mt Martha and it is a homecoming of sorts for the man dubbed the “Freedom Commissioner� by federal Attorney-General George Brandis.

Mr Wilson lived in Mt Martha before

heading for the bright lights of Melbourne and is a former student of The Peninsula School.

His mother is Linda Morris, wife of Liberal Mornington MP David Morris, and the ‘Advanced Human Rights in Australia’ event at The Briars features both Mr Morris and Mr Wilson on promotional material. “It’s not a fundraiser,� Mr Wilson said. “I speak to a lot of political parties because political parties are where you often find people who are interested in human rights and part of my role is human rights education so I try to do that as often as possible.�

Mr Wilson has spoken at events hosted by The Australian Greens and Liberal Democrats parties during his time

as Human Rights Commissioner.

The former research fellow at rightwing think tank the Institute of Public Affairs resigned as a Liberal Party and IPA member when contentiously employed by the Abbott government as Human Rights Commissioner early last year.

He did admit to bias last week.

Mr Wilson said he agreed to speak at the Mornington electorate conference hosted by Mr Morris “because my mother asked meâ€?. “She asked me to come down and speak ‌ I’ll confess my mother does get better treatment than anyone else.â€?

The Human Rights Commissioner will talk about freedom of speech, religious freedom and same-sex marriage as part of his talk at the Liberal Party

event in Mt Martha.

He makes it clear to political parties that any forum he speaks at not be a fundraising event and a modest fee to cover any necessary costs only is allowed. Any event must also fit in with existing Human Rights Commission travel unless the political party is prepared to cover his travel expenses.

Mr Wilson has a holiday home on the peninsula. “I actually head down to the peninsula regularly,� he said.

The Advanced Human Rights in Australia event will be held at the Briars Historic Homestead, 450 Nepean Hwy, Mt Martha on Monday 7 September, 6.30pm. Tickets $20 each. Call Linda Morris on 03 5975 4799 for bookings.

Non-Liberal Party members welcome.

United against crime Continued from Page 1 Karingal Hub general manager Bev McCaughey said the aim of the alliance was to get a variety of community movers and shakers “out of our silos and networking with each other�. “We are able to absorb new ideas and initiatives which we are able to use to make the community safer,� Ms McCaughey said.

One initiative is Look, Lock and Leave, which reminds and encourages shoppers to lock their cars and either remove or stow valuables after parking their cars. “We want people to be more conscious of their surroundings and not complacent,� she said. “We will devise themes throughout the year all with a community safety aspect and everyone will take them back to their precincts to promote a greater awareness.�

Frankston Business Chamber executive officer Karin Hann said the “constructive� meeting discussed what business could do to reduce, for example, illegal rubbish dumping. “We report to each other on areas of concern, and we then pass this on to our neighbours so that they are also in the loop,� she said.

Crime fighters: Members of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Crime Prevention Alliance pictured after last week’s meeting are Senior Sergeant Dean Clinton, Frankston Crime Prevention Officer Sharron Coburn, Stuart West (PARC), Paul Maas (Frankston Council), Ray Vanweert (Bayside Shopping Centre), Bev McCaughey (Karingal Hub), Rob Goren (Karingal Hub), Frank Toth (Rosebud Plaza), Damien Taylor (Mornington Peninsula Shire), Karin Hann (Frankston Chamber of Commerce), Paul Bonnici (Mornington Peninsula Shire) and Miranda Markovic (Pelican Park).

“We also discuss how retail customers can make themselves and their property safer. We all have this perception that ‘it won’t happen to us’, but, of course, it could.�

Senior Sergeant Clinton said extra CCTV cameras to watch over shopping centres and industrial estates to combat graffiti, bollards to help prevent ram-raids at shopping centres, and greater out-reach by youth workers, were examples of strategic thinking to benefit the community.

So was the tactic of having Karingal Hub loss prevention officers wear hi-vis vests – “making themselves obvious to thieves� – to deter shoplifters. “There’s a flow-on effect: If people feel safer in a shopping centre they will be inclined to stay longer and spend more money,� Senior Sergeant Clinton said. “And, when we have people working together to prevent these issues we get better results – rather than them working alone.�

Regional plan a joint effort Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au COUNCILS have decided there is strength in numbers with the launch of a South East Melbourne Group of Councils regional plan to push the region’s case for business investment, jobs and more education opportunities.

The SEM Group of Councils includes Frankston, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Kingston, Casey, Bass Coast, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong councils.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer has been elected chair of the SEM Group of Councils for a 12-month term until November on a rotational basis.

She said the four-year regional plan brings together seven municipalities to find common ground to collectively lobby federal and state governments and the private sector to invest in the South East Melbourne region.

“The South East Melbourne region is welcoming around 120 new families each week, with our population expected to pass one million by 2030, and this means we need the state government committing to infrastructure and job-generating projects now,” Cr Mayer said.

“The Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island are two of Victoria’s premier destinations, while 30 per cent of all shipping containers from the Port of Melbourne end up in South East Melbourne, so development linked to tourism and shipping are certainly areas we will be pushing hard, including the Port of Hastings expansion.”

The chances of a container port at an expanded Port of Hastings, pushed by the previous Coalition state government, seem remote, after the Andrews government agreed to a “no compete for at least 50 years” clause in a plan to lease the Port of Melbourne.

The state government has instead earmarked Hastings to be used as a “bulk” port, adding pro-

cessed brown coal to the existing trade in petroleum products and natural gas.

Despite the government stance, the south east councils hope the plan for a container port at Hastings is not completely dead since they see the project as a boost to business in the region.

Infrastructure Victoria has been tasked by the state government with investigating whether a container port at Hastings or Bay West near Geelong is most practical.

The SEM Group’s regional plan, released last week, “supports a polycentric city approach” and nominates Dandenong, Frankston and Narre

Warren-Fountain Gate as “centres for employment” to ease pressure on public transport since “a high proportion of our residents travel long distances to find suitable employment”.

Delays in rolling out high-speed broadband internet services have also been identified in the plan as “an impediment to economic growth”.

Other aims of the regional plan include:  Establishment of a manufacturing connectivity centre in Dandenong South  Progress the planning for South Eastern Airport  Funding for east-west road linkages including upgrading and extension of Thompsons Rd through to Pakenham  Upgrade the Frankston transit interchange, including the train station, and redevelopment of surrounding land The plan is pushing for the establishment of “a regional boating facility” in Frankston despite Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden admitting a boating marina at Olivers Hill is a lower priority than other infrastructure projects.

Tourism is also been pushed as a growth industry for Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula as part of the regional plan.

Cr Mayer and Mornington Peninsula Shire deputy mayor Graham Pittock and council officers attended a Victorian Visitor Information Centre Summit at the RACV Cape Schanck resort organised by the Victoria Tourism Industry Council.

Shire business development team leader Tania Treasure said “the summit is a great economic benefit to our region, attracting 120 delegates from throughout Victoria to our region at a time of the year that is traditionally quiet for our tourism industry”.

Ms Treasure said council representatives visited tourism businesses during the summit held on 12-14 August to learn about “best practice in managing and operating a visitor information centre and trends in servicing our visitors”.

Tickling the ivories: Joe Chindamo (left) and Alan Kogosowski perform in Frankston next month. Pictures supplied

The keys to classics and jazz A RENOWNED concert pianist and an acclaimed jazz pianist will present a masterclass followed by a concert in Frankston on 13 September, bringing a touch of musical genius to Monash University’s George Jenkins Theatre.

Alan Kogosowski and Joe Chindamo are pioneering a new concept for the region in conjunction with the university – giving budding musicians a chance to learn from highly experienced professionals who have played around the world.

Kogosowski is a world leading authority on the music of Chopin.

Jazz pianist Chindamo is an internationally acclaimed composer.

From Chopin to Chindamo is the first of Monash University’s

“Masterclass and Concert Program” at its peninsula campus.

Four piano students from the region will perform two classical and two jazz pieces of about five minutes each in front of a live audience at the theatre from 11am-1pm on Sunday 13 September.

Kogosowski and Chindamo will share their experiences and insights into performance techniques and give tips to the young performers. This session is free of charge.

The pianists will then perform at 3pm, Kogosowski first, playing Beethoven and Chopin, followed by Chindamo. Tickets $25, concession $20. For more information and tickets, call 9532 7593.

THE Arthurs Seat gondola may return to the state planning tribunal – and shire councillors – over a query about whether VCAT made an “accidental slip” in its decision on the project’s emergency plan.

A separate VCAT hearing is already pending, on Skylift’s chosen gondola colour. This matter will be heard on 11 September.

Now anti-gondola lobby group Save Our Seat has asked the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to clarify when the emergency plan should be approved by Mornington Peninsula Shire – before work begins on the $18 million project or before the ride starts operating?

The tribunal’s decision contains two conflicting references about the emergency management plan, it has been claimed.

VCAT’s “accidental slip” occurs in the condition dealing with “Bushfire/ Emergency Management Plan”. VCAT states the plan must be approved “prior to the commencement of the use” of Skylift, that is, after construction ends.

But in its discussion of fire hazard it states the plan should be approved “before the development commences as there may be matters ... that require refinements to other components of the proposal”.

This conforms with the shire’s original permit condition, which states that a bushfire emergency plan must be approved “prior to the commencement of works”. However, councillors were

told at the 10 August council meeting that the plan would need to be approved “prior to the use of the gondola … to the satisfaction of council”. This position would have to be changed if VCAT decides it slipped up in the wording of its condition.

The two matters could delay the start of work.

VCAT came in for stringent criticism over the way the Skylift matter was handled.

VCAT gave permission for 26 trees to be removed, lopped or pruned but councillors were told by shire planners that a Skylift report had identified 82 trees that may require removal or modifying, an increase of more than 215 per cent. Ten trees would be retained, the report stated.

The report said 39 trees would be removed but the rest would need to be inspected again after the ride had been built.

Cr Graham Pittock questioned officers about the “very high bushfire” danger and the plan to evacuate “maybe 300” gondola passengers to the upper station, with its “very low” bushfire rating.

“How can you evacuate people to that building that basically has no fire proofing to it? Are we opening ourselves up to liability for accepting that [low bushfire] rating?” he asked.

Shire planner Niall Sheehy said emergency services had agreed the appropriate rating was bushfire attack level 12.5. An expert witness at VCAT had confirmed this was appropriate.

Mr Sheehy said that unlike a standard house, the two gondola stations each had a static water supply of

40,000 litres and cleared areas around them. The gondola would close on Code Red days.

Opposing the shire officers’ recommendation that the council approve the revised gondola corridor plan for tree removal or trimming, Cr Hugh Fraser took aim at VCAT. “We are part of a process that has been forced on us by VCAT,” he said, “which is an entirely unsatisfactory process that has been arrived at.”

He spoke about “71 conditions dealing with a whole range of vital issues that … should have been properly agitated before VCAT in the first place”.

“There is something very, very wrong with a planning process [in which] this occurs. The material should be before VCAT in the first place [so] the matter is decided properly then and there on sufficient materials.”

Cr Fraser said the tribunal “has created what you might call a pathway to a permit, which is ultimately granted by the 71 conditions”.

“Even our own plans prescribe conditions to deal with the difficulties with the material that is provided … if we didn’t have problem material in the first place we wouldn’t be in this terrible tangle.

“The uncertainty of this absolutely beggars description. It is beyond belief that it cannot be worked out with certainty and brought before this council [so it has] proper material to work out with certainty what trees are to be removed.”

The recommendation was approved 5-3, with councillors Lynn Bowden, David Gibb and Anne Shaw absent from the meeting.

LETTERS Garden missed

When the PA forwards issues to the appropriate officer an email should go to the ratepayer with a message similar to what is supposed to be sent from customer service indicating that they should to expect an answer in 12 working days or ,if not then, why not. This request should then be entered into the reporting system that tracks performance to the 12 working day customer service standard.

In fact, any request by a ratepayer should go into this system including communications directly with officers or staff that are not initiated through customer service or the councillors PA. Our councillors are “part time” and their compensation reflects this, however, many of them spend much more time doing their jobs than a “part time” person would. They need this support to make them more effective and to meet the ratepayers’ (customers’) expectation.

I just received my Keep Australia Beautiful email, which coincided with the latest Mornington News. I don’t know who the jealous person was who moved the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to destroy Mark and Nina Syawish’s beautiful gardens (“Shire gives non-approved vegies the chop”, 18/8/15), but I suppose the new CEO at the shire does not agree with my friends at KAB. A sad indictment of the mover and even sadder the person or persons who carried out the destruction, whether at the behest of the council or not.

All of my friends in Mt Eliza were so pleased with the outcome of Mark and Nina’s industry, which we all felt gave something special to our town.

I hope whoever moved this unfortunate outcome finds sleep an uneasy commodity.

Ron O’Toole, Mt Eliza

Willing to work Speaking from Nepean Ward as councillors, we make no apology for the additional burden placed on councillors as the shire drives to modernise and deliver better service to the community (“Councillors working too hard” The News, 18/8/15).

In nine months, gone are three of the directorates that once managed the shire – sustainable organisation, sustainable infrastructure, and sustainable environment – in favour of practical, no nonsense functional offices of chief financial officer and chief operating officer.

Our new CEO Carl Cowie and CFO Matt Hubbard are disciplined like no other on the financial side of things.

The shire’s commitment to sustainability – articulated in its flawed triangular triumvirate logo of people, environment and also economics - has been discarded by council in favour of its commitment to carbon neutrality. No longer is the shire to be managed on such a theoretical framework.

As in financial matters, council’s commitment

Secret contract to carbon neutrality will require discipline in our use of carbon. This is a practical commitment solidly founded on council’s development of a carbon neutral policy, implementation plan and business plans.

These plans will include energy and operational efficiency initiatives, street lighting upgrade, maximising solar panels, consideration of use of the Rye landfill (48 per cent of council’s carbon footprint) to cease on or before 30 June 2018 and offsetting remaining emissions.

At the top, council has reformed its meeting structure and practice – discarding three subcommittees meeting at random.

Council now requires all its usual business to come to its fortnightly Monday meeting where it is transacted in an orderly, routine and transparent manner for all to see.

These are robust, practical council initiatives driving policy, financial and carbon discipline in the shire. And yes, reform and policy innovation does place additional burdens on councillors but for the benefit of Mornington Peninsula Shire and its community.

Cr Tim Rodgers and Cr Hugh Fraser, Nepean

Ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council

Overworked, underpaid Yes, councillors are overworked. It is a hard thankless job. Professional time management training would be a good help.

The whole system needs a hard look. Reading 300-page “confidential” reports does not help, especially when there are several and they cannot talk to ratepayers and get their help. Maybe the councillors should address it.

I have been putting a budget submission forward for several years: Councillor Support: I have made budget submissions in the past that our councillors would be more effective in supporting their constituents if they each had a personal assistant (PA) rather than sharing one.

This would allow each councillor to use their PA to gather information, monitor projects and get answers to ratepayers on time. The PA, properly “managed”, could do most of the routine stuff (85 per cent) and then assist the councillor in solving the hard stuff.

Oh I wish Stuart Allen’s claim (“Who’s in charge” Letters 18/8/2015) were true and that VNPA is the tail wagging the state government’s dog. But it’s not.

In support of his claim, Mr Allen asserts that the VNPA has obtained, presumably from the current government, a copy of the secret lease signed between the previous Napthine government and the property developer.

How else could I have known about the clause, referred to in my earlier letter (“Point planning”, The News 11/8/2015), that required certain planning changes to be made by 1 July 2015 otherwise the lease would lapse and the new government could be exposed to a compensation claim of up to $1 million? My source was The Age on 1 July 2015.

Mr Allen also claims that the VNPA “sees no role for the private development in the restoration of the historic Quarantine Station” and is opposed to any commercial activity.

With Parks Victoria as the manager of Point Nepean National Park and responsible for entering into leases for the adaptive reuse of buildings in the Quarantine Station, it is quite possible that some of those uses could be com-

mercial activities, even future proposals from Point Leisure Group.

As long as proposed uses are consistent with the objectives of the park’s management and master plans and, most importantly, provide genuine benefits to the park, then VNPA would likely support them.

What we do not support is commercial development of the scale and kind proposed and with management rights given to a property developer.

The best future for the Quarantine Station is one where there is a diversity of uses being carried out by many lessees with various backgrounds under leases signed with Parks Victoria and having the park’s best interests at heart.

Chris Smyth, acting executive director Victorian National Parks Association

Encourage investment Thank you Mr Smyth for confirming (“Point planning”, Letters 11/8/15) what I had thought to be the case, that the VNPA is completely opposed to any form of private development within Victoria's national parks.

In acknowledging that a substantial investment in the Quarantine Station is needed, the VNPA considers that such funding should come from "government, philanthropic, community, education and tourism organisations". The private sector is not mentioned, nor is any reference to the VNPA actually making a contribution.

Why would any of these entities (perhaps other than the state government) seriously consider supporting the Quarantine Station project when the peak body for Victoria's national parks is fully prepared - and absolutely instrumental, in respect of Point Nepean – to reject a capital injection of over $40 million to restore key parts of Victoria's history; for the next 50 years deprive the state budget of about $365,000 in rent each year; and adding to Parks Victoria's annual operating costs by over $900,000?

By any measure, this does not make any commercial or practical sense.

Why the VNPA would think that access to any commercial activity within Point Nepean "would only be available to those people who could afford it" shows a lack of reality. Does not the

affordability test apply to everything we do? For example, it is free to go to the National Gallery, but if you want to attend a special exhibit, then you pay for it. Clearly, if you can't afford the visit, you don't go.

The PLG proposal included a cafe and other affordable activities, the profits from which would have funded PLG's commitment to restore the Quarantine Station. Prudent business people encourage patronage, not scare it away.

The PLG type of investment and commitment should be encouraged, not rejected.

Peter Curtin, Sorrento

Time to get planning Along with other groups in the local community, Nepean Historical Society recognises that the proposed lease for Point Nepean Quarantine Station has lapsed. Planning provisions required under the lease were not achieved before the trigger date of June 30, and the lease was voided.

The NHS believes that this nationally significant historic site, gifted to Victoria by the Commonwealth to become a national park, should be developed, but only in appropriate ways and with maximisation of public benefit.

NHS is now turning its attention to engaging with the government which has announced the intention of going back to the previously agreed master plan which was prepared in 2010 but is to be updated where necessary.

We look forward to appropriate and sensitive re-development of this great heritage precinct site without further delay.

Joy Kitch, Nepean Historical Society and Sorrento Museum

Bay too shallow Just in case you missed it, mainstream news recently reported the Suez Canal is now widened and deepened, obviously to attract new supermaxi, ludicrous sized container ships.

The reason for writing this is about detail, omitted from some reports, that depth is 24 metres. For the not-deepwater Port of Hastings, there’s an occasional deep hole in the channel to this depth, but much of it is a lot shallower. For

the amount of traffic nominated by proponents, the channel needs to be two-lane, which means, a channel width of 500m, with shallow angle sloping sides. Then there’s always the anchorage, mostly just 10m, from mid-range tide datum. Western Port is subject to three metre king tides, so design for minimum tide is 1.5m lower.

To compete with Suez we need to dredge from 8.5m to 24m to take the 20,000 odd-sized container ships which are headed our way. Hastings was always Plan B. Time to get serious about Plan A in Port Phillip, providing for not so large container ships, surplus to requirements in the Northern Hemisphere. Bernie McComb, Cowes

Tuff turf talk

Today I ate a chicken and lettuce roll while parked overlooking the playing field at Alexander Park, Mornington, and enjoying some audio phonic culture, thanks to ABC Classic FM. As I sat thoroughly enjoying the moment, I realised that I was looking at a playing field which represented a significant safety risk to footballers.

Knowing I was a turf craft specialist for over 40 years, a concerned Mornington Football Club member approached me a few years back because he was very concerned at learning of the shire’s intention to completely change the field’s turf type to a summer grass variety. He felt that this would leave the footballers with a surface which would provide little protection while playing their game, yet conversely providing a lovely cushion of turf for the cricketers. To me it was, as they say, a no brainer.

Today I was presented with exactly what that concerned gentleman and I expected. A ground covered in a dead sward of hard grass more suited to a turf cricket wicket than a reasonable, safe surface on which our wonderful game of Aussie rules can be played with vigour on a protective living grass cushion.

The football club should not accept that what it is being presented with is a safe and appropriate surface for its players. Rob Boundy, Mt Martha

Teach anti-violence Family violence is not just brutal stuff occurring

from dysfunctional men and women - there are nine types of family violence including psychological, verbal, social and sexual. Terrible things happen to men (don't get angry, get even) that manifests quite often as suicide (200 a month).

Also remember that gender entitlement occurs towards both genders and cannot be stereotyped.

Having said all that, the fundamental rule is that no man should ever hit a woman. All men cannot be held culpable and should not because it is wrong and incorrect. Young fellows coming out of high school should not have to apologise for their masculinity.

This difficult conundrum must have a best way to manage it in a way that will reduce the incidence in future.

I suggest education and collaboration. We all want our kids to be able to have happy and productive lives without the spectre of 50 per cent marriage breakdown impacting on them and I suggest that the solution lies in education of students year 7 to year 12 about relationships, realistic expectations, respect and all those noble motives to prepare them for life.

Even though my views differ from theirs, I am sure in this context Justice Neave and Rosie Batty are amazing and nobody should get their knickers in twist over them. I have grave reservations about some of the others and the intent of their submissions to the Royal Commission into Family Violence though.

Tony Nicholl, Mt Eliza

Position weakened An outrageous attack by the Abbott government against democracy and the environment is now being crafted in Canberra.

Tony Abbott wants his environment minister to be above the law by repealing section 487(2) of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act preventing the community from mounting legal challenges to ministerial decisions.

It seems “good government starts now” by removing accountability, lack of transparency, attacking anything related to environment and more importantly changing the law to suit its dirty coal agenda.

LETTERS Under the EPBC Act just 2.2 per cent of projects have been rejected and only 0.4 per cent of mining approvals have ever been refused.

We remind the minister [Greg Hunt] that in his own electorate of Flinders, the loss of mammals now locally extinct or endangered on the Mornington Peninsula is tragically 66 per cent, with many species of flora and fauna now in decline.

His position further weakens the core values of his own portfolio.

The Abbott government lacks any vision to position our economy towards a sustainable future. It is stuck in the past and entrenched in a devaluing commodity. The environment minister should stand up for his portfolio rather than “dig it up, ship it out and burn it”.

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Rights reduced Australia is the land of environmental wholesale destruction when it comes to our present government.

And just in case some environmental group would be bold enough to hold the government to its own laws, the first thing Abbott and his cronies thinks of is the further destruction of our lawful safeguards of democracy.

It is a well-practiced method the Abbott government has used ever since it came to power. Be that immigration, citizenship or privacy of data of the individual.

The public is slowly cut out of any decisionmaking on anything of importance and, in many instances, is not allowed to know what is going on. I hope this time the Labor party will not pass the attempted disenfranchisement of our last defence against the runaway greed of big money and it's champion Abbott.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Anger over rates Peninsula residents who received rates notices this week are outraged by the size of the increase. The Mornington Peninsula Shire claims the average increase is 5.9 per cent. Many are now facing a bill of more than $2000 and are finding that the actual increase is over 6 per

cent, which is more than twice the cost of living (CPI).

The concern is compounded by the increase in the fire levy which the shire is required to collect on behalf of the state government. An increase in the levy of over 10 per cent is common. This is about four times more than CPI. However, this may be the last year that councils can slug ratepayers. A draft report prepared by the Essential Services Commission for the state government proposes that future rate rises should be capped and determined by CPI and the State Revenue Office’s prediction of the rise in wages. If the government adopts the proposal the average increase per assessment excluding service charges in 2016/17 will be around 3 per cent.

Fortunately, after15 years of consistently high rate increases and significant increase in debt under the previous administration, the new CEO Carl Cowie is implementing changes to the shire organisation to improve efficiencies and deliver better service to the community. This should enable the shire to maintain its level of service despite future capping of rate increases.

Our association suggests that long serving councillors David Gibb (18 years) and Anne Shaw (12 years) should follow the example set by the change of CEO and allow for the election of new, fresh-thinking councillors.

This may enable the council to focus on rate reduction rather than being distracted by the division in council which is still evident despite the recent Red Hill by-election.

Alan Nelsen, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association

Independent concerns The concern currently being expressed about the suitability of Tony Abbott's captain’s pick being allowed to continue as the royal commission into union behaviour brings bad memories for me.

One of the last actions of [former planning minister] Matthew Guy towards the end of the Napthine Liberal government was to remove long held rights of landowners in Mt Eliza to subdivide their large unmanageable properties.

2015 Pro Vice-Chancellor’s Debate

Marijuana

Is now the time to legalise?

Guy's decision was based on the findings of a so-called independent panel. A few years previously a truly independent panel had came to a totally opposite recommendation to that of the Guy-appointed panel.

Makes me question how Matthew Guy's panel could possibly be independent in the same way that I cannot see how Dyson Heydon can be seen to be independent.

Terry O’Shea, Halls head, WA

Liberal praise Mike Hast’s article (“MP calls for dam land handover,” The News 18/8/15) was most appropriate and Mornington MP David Morris is to be congratulated in taking this environmentally responsible stand showing support for a worthwhile peninsula cause. His support for the local community group led by Rebecca Taylor and the Kunyung Rd Action Group, and his approach to the state Environment Minister Lisa Neville, is evidence of how often the impression the electorate gets of Liberal environmental policy, as being uncaring and out of touch with general opinion, can be overcome and wholeheartedly savoured.

Mr Morris has nothing to lose being in the Opposition but everything to gain from an increasingly disenchanted environmental section of the peninsula electorate.

Perhaps the other entrenched peninsula Liberal members of various parliaments should take note of what one of their number has done for the environmental health of our beautiful peninsula.

Too often we see green wedge land developed such as the service stations on the Peninsula Link or threats to Point Nepean National Park which thankfully have been averted by the state Labor government’s actions forcing the cancellation of commercial development. It is now up to the National Trust of Victoria to show some leadership in taking on the guardianship of these important buildings and surrounds. We are fortunate to have Mulberry Hill and McCrae Cottage in this area so it is not so far fetched to suggest that the trust takes on this project of restoration.

Ian Morrison, secretary Mornington Peninsula

Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association

PM’s rethink Is the Prime Minister rethinking his recent wrong decision not allowing regional meetings on the constitutional reforms, recognising our first nation people in proposed changes to our Constitution.

What is wrong with the concept of engaging all our indigenous people who want to engage in this important conversation, and having regional meetings for all who want to have a say on this most vital change to our Constitution.

Surely its not the cost, we are currently spending millions searching for that plane that tragically crashed. Leave it to the Chinese to finish the job.

So often in the past we have not bothered to listen to what they want or need.

If it needs heated debate and protracted negotiations so be it. It has to be inclusive.

This has to be done correctly so when it comes to the referendum, there is and has been the fullest consultation for all Australians.

Being fully informed is a must.

Surely this is how democracy works. OK, it might take time and money, but we must get it right, for the sake of our future.

Surely if you have Noel Pearson, Patrick Dodson, Kirstie Parker and Megan Davis agreeing to these local consultations, don’t you embrace it.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Class upset In your last edition I noticed that correspondent, Denise Hassett, wrote that the age of entitlement is alive and well for the hoi polloi (“Wages penalty”, Letters 18/8/15), which does not refer to the aristocracy or the big end of town, but the opposite. It refers to the great unwashed, or common herd, with the same disparaging connotation. What Ms Hassett wrote was not what she meant, surely?

Commercial property prices booming ONE of the last under-developed blocks of land on the commercial strip of Nepean Highway in Mornington is up for auction next month with an estimated value of $6 million.

No 988 is currently occupied by Adams Peninsula Garden Supplies between Kia Motors and Mornington Hyundai.

It is 6421 square metres on two titles and runs through to Yuilles Rd, one of few blocks to do so.

The larger block is 5521sqm and the second is 900sqm but the property will be sold as one tract.

Listing agent Kevin Wright of Mornington said the bigger block had been in the same family for about 45 years. They had bought the adjoining smaller block some years later.

He said the block was zoned Commercial 1 and Industrial 3.

Most of the town’s car dealerships had looked at the property, he said.

Mr Wright said commercial properties in Main St, Mornington, had been buoyant in recent weeks.

He has sold four – number 17 for $2.1 million (a two-storey building occupied by Splash of Red on ground level and a beauty parlour upstairs), number 38 for $1 million (women’s clothing), number 108 for $1.6 million (also women’s clothing), and number 321 for $1.35 million (which includes the office of Mornington MP David Morris).

Mr Wright said most of the sales had been to retired people living on the peninsula.

Night bust catches abalone poachers TWO men will be charged on summons after they were allegedly caught taking abalone at Portsea on Friday 7 August. Their haul was over the catch limit and in the closed season.

Fisheries officers patrolling the ocean beach at London Bridge intercepted the men just before midnight.

A 42-year-old man from Cranbourne will be charged on summons with taking 49 abalone during the closed season, at night and with taking undersized abalone.

He and another man are also expected to be charged on summons for allegedly obstructing fisheries officers in their duties, which carries a maximum penalty of $18,000, 12 months’ jail or both.

Fisheries Victoria education and enforcement director Ian Parks said the abalone season was

permanently closed in central Victorian waters, except for nominated open days during the year.

Abalone can only be taken between sunrise and sunset.

“Abalone poaching threatens the sustainability of the fishery and opportunities for future generations of fishers,” Mr Parks said. “This is a good reminder that strict restrictions are in place to protect our resources and ensure they are shared among all users.”

He said shellfish can only be taken in more than two metres of water to protect the intertidal zone.

On open days, the daily bag limit is five abalone a person, of which no more than two can be greenlip.

BUILT about 60 years ago, this gorgeous character cottage has been well renovated yet pleasantly retains many original features such as high ceilings and leadlight windows.

The home has a charming exterior and from the formal entry polished hardwood floors lead past a formal lounge with open fire place, then through to a magnificent timber kitchen boasting a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher and wall oven. Tucked into the front corner of the home is the main bedroom with built-in robe that shares the main bathroom with another bedroom. There are two lovely timber decks at the front and back, which, particularly during the warmer months, will increase the living space significantly and make for easy entertaining. The cottage block measures a manageable 337 square metres with landscaped gardens at the front complemented by neatly paved walkways.

Perfect for professional couples and downsizers, this well-placed home would also lend itself to boutique bed and breakfast accommodation (STCA).

Farewell to last link with Dromana pioneers OBITUARY Elizabeth (Betty) Weir (nee Shaw), 28 February 1914–14 July 2015, champion bowler and last link to two pioneering Dromana families THE last link with two Dromana pioneering families, Betty Weir, has died at age 101.

Mrs Weir was the only daughter in a family of five children of Archie Shaw and Maud McKeown, both of whom were descended from early families in the town.

Archie’s descendants Benjamin and Elizabeth Shaw arrived in Dromana in 1875. In the 1880s they established Kangerong guest house, where Betty was born in 1914. It remained in the family until the 1940s and was on Point Nepean Rd near where a Caltex service station stands today.

Benjamin and Elizabeth’s son Archie Shaw was a councillor with the Shire of Flinders and shire president in 1924. Archie married Maud McKeown (daughter of James and Catherine McKeown) in 1903.

Two further generations of the family have lived in Dromana.

Maud’s descendants James and Catherine McKeown moved from Red Hill to Dromana in 1864, and established an orchard and farm at Gracefield on Boundary Rd. James cut wood for the Dromana pier in 1874. They raised 12 children – five sons and seven daughters. In 1892 they established Aringa guest house on the corner of Foote and Clarendon streets, which was managed by their daughters until after the Second World War.

Centurion: Betty Weir, who was descended from two Dromana pioneering families, with her friend Jacqueline Farquer in 2011.

Picture supplied

At a recent meeting of the shire council, area councillor Graham Pittock said he met Mrs Weir in 2011 during his year as mayor. “It was soon after her 97th birthday when the shire was approached by her son, John Weir, to name a reserve in Dromana after these two pioneering families,” he said.

“Archie and Maud Shaw played a significant role in the establishment and management of Heronswood.”

(One son, Maurice, owned and operated Shaw’s Motors on Point Nepean Rd for many years.)

“When Edith, Betty’s aunt, died at the age of 100 without children, she left some land near her house at the corner of Towerhill and Arthurs Seat roads to her niece Betty and nephews – the four Shaw boys and Henry McKeown “The land was subdivided and the original bushland was preserved in a

central reserve, which linked Attunga Court and Edith Place.

It was given to the shire for public open space in 1977, and named the Shaw McKeown Reserve in 2011 during Dromana’s 150th year.”

Cr Pittock said both pioneer families were in Colin McLear’s book A Dreamtime of Dromana: A History of Dromana Through the Eyes of a Pioneering Family and Lime Land Leisure: Peninsula History in the

Shire of Flinders by Charles N Hollinshed.

“In 1990 a project called the ‘Pioneer Pathway’ by the Dromana and District Historical Society was dedicated to the memory of the men and women who settled permanently in the district prior to 1875. Small plaques dedicated to each family can be seen on rocks outside the society’s museum,” he said.

“Betty was an important member of Dromana Bowling Club for many years and only gave up playing pennant a few years before I met her.

She touched the hearts of all who met her and became a very close friend to a shire officer, Jacqueline Farquer, over the past four years.

In her 101 years, Betty experienced many changes on the peninsula and was passionate about ‘her’ Dromana.

Betty will be sadly missed but not forgotten.”

Betty’s son John told The News his mum joined the bowling club after her husband William (known to Betty as Fon) died in 1975 at age 63.

“The club became an all-consuming interest and she was club champion and later an umpire. She entered results in a database every week, ran the Melbourne Cup sweep until she turned 100, and worked in the kitchen after social events.”

Mrs Weir is survived by her children John and Heather, their partners Jan and Peter, and grandchildren Belinda, Katie, Jane, Sally and Susie.

LETTERS Union, not marriage I am becoming very annoyed at the never-ending gay marriage debate designed, I think, to sell newspapers or to gain (or lose) votes, or likely as a diversion to point the sheep elsewhere.

Please understand that the family is the basis and the building block of society. From the marriage perspective, a man and a woman marry and have children and society starts from here: home, health, education, upbringing, nurturing the progeny until adulthood.

Daddy's hug and Mummy's love.

A mother’s love is essential and cannot be replaced. Motherhood is regarded as almost sacred in our society.

Similarly, father will provide for and protect his children and wife through hell or high water. This is what marriage is.

A "marriage" of two homosexuals is none of the above. Calling such a union a marriage in the same sense as my marriage is an insult to me.

Their union and the consummation of their marriage is unnatural, not part of human evolution and cannot possibly bear genetic fruit.

My settler ancestors, after the consummation of their marriage, precipitated a thousand or so descendants who have helped build this country and this society.

I have no objection to a homosexual couple having all and full legal rights in their union equivalent to a normally married couple, but please, define their union as a union, or a contract, or a partnership, anything but a"marriage".

I do not despise or fear homosexuals therefore I am not homophobic. In fact, I can understand their feelings.

Should one wish to discuss the religious aspect, a church wedding for homosexuals, then there would be a

debate of biblical proportions.

However it seems to me that most homosexuals have “Godophobia and hold the church in disdain.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

ALP’s debt problem A number of your correspondents are very critical of the federal Coalition government. They have very short memories and are viewing the past through very rose-tinted glasses.

They forget about the past rotating ALP leadership, with each one being routinely stabbed by Bill Shorten.

Then there was the waste associated with the pink batts and the school hall building program, the greenhouse tax that wasn't and then was.

The biggest problem left by the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd governments are the unfunded commitments to the NDIS and Gonski schools' program.

The ALP also left behind an enormous debt, which it has no intention of repaying and does its best to prevent the government from getting Australia out of this debt crisis. And if everyone thinks that there is not a debt crisis they should just consider the fact that taxpayers are having to fork out $1 billion a month (and growing) to pay the interest on this ALP debt.

Just think about what could be done if the government had an extra billion dollars a month to spend on community issues. And worse is yet to come if the ALP wins the next election.

The ALP has stated that it wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030. No plan has been proposed as to how this would be achieved, no indication of the enormous rise in electricity and other costs and no consideration of the destruction of industry that would result.

Have a happy future.

Barrie Hunt, Mt Eliza

Opinions sought on shire service MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is looking to improve itself by carrying out a survey to gauge how it interacts with residents, ratepayers and visitors.

The mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said councillors were interested in hearing about the interactions – both positive and negative – at a series of community consultations in September.

“This is a great opportunity for our community to help shape the way the shire interacts and engages with them, and I encourage everyone to attend a consultation session or provide their feedback online,” she said.

Chief executive officer Carl Cowie said the consultations would review the shire’s existing customer service arrangements and consider improvements. “We want people to tell us about the good and bad experiences they have had with the shire so that we can identify areas that we can improve,” he said.

“The consultations aren’t about focusing on the services we provide, but how we engage with people; how

easy or difficult it is for our community to get the information or assistance they need from the shire.”

Questions include: How do you want us to engage with you? Is there an opportunity to improve processes and reduce paperwork? Would residents like more options to self-serve online?

Consultations will be held 7-9pm, Thursday 3 September, Mornington shire offices, 2 Queen St, Mornington; 7-9pm, Thursday 10 September, Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston-Flinders Rd; and 10am-noon, Saturday 12 September, Rosebud shire office, Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Mr Cowie said residents unable to attend the consultations could still contribute online at mornpen.vic.gov. au/customerexcellence To RSVP or for more information email Lisa Gray at customerexcellence@mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1250.

Teaching a new dog new tricks A TRAINEE with four legs has been attracting attention where ever he goes at HMAS Cerberus.

It’s hard not to notice Ellis, the 13-monthold Labrador, who is nearing the end of his guide dog training at the Navy training school under the fond, but firm, guidance of Chaplain Andrew Thorburn.

The chaplain volunteered to take Ellis early this year, saying it was something his family had wanted to do for a long time, and that being posted to HMAS Cerberus had made the task possible.

“Having a dog in training on a training base fits in well,” he said. “Interacting with Ellis is a morale booster for a lot of our people as many have left much-loved pets behind to come and do their training.”

Chaplain Thorburn said Ellis had taken to his recruit training “like a chaplain takes to prayer”.

But, like anyone learning new skills, a major challenge is keeping the pup focused on his role among all the other distractions of a busy naval base.

“Being comfortable around people, vehicles, wildlife - he is said to like ducks -while being able to concentrate on his job, is the main aim,” Chaplain Thorburn said.

“The more experiences he has in different environments the better.

“Ellis is very cute and people naturally want to say ‘hello’, but when he has his blue jacket on he’s in working dog mode and is off limits to smooching and pats.

Although it often takes great restraint from people, he essentially needs to be ignored.

“When the jacket is off, he’s fair game

for a bit of love and attention.”

Ellis came from a litter bred to undergo training with Vision Australia and all his brothers and sisters were given names starting with ‘E’. “Elvis had already been taken,” quipped Chaplain Thorburn.

As future working dogs, their stays with host families inevitably come to an end.

Ellis has been assessed and declared “fit for further training” by Vision Australia and his time at the base is limited.

“We know we will get the call soon,” Chaplain Thorburn said.

“The family knows this and is preparing for the sad day when we bid farewell. It’ll be a big wrench and my six-year-old son has shed a few tears.”

Ellis will then start another 12-15 months of rigorous seeing-eye dog training, which has a 44 per cent failure rate. Chaplain Thorburn has faith that his mate has what it takes to make it all the way and he’s pleased his family could help.

“We think of this phase as his recruit training before he moves on to his category training. He’s very smart, willing to learn and has a lot of loyalty to give.”

Nightlife: Sugar gliders, above, and ringtail possums, below, are just two of the animals being recorded in the Western Port Biosphere’s animal survey.

Biosphere counting on animals ANIMALS are about to come under scrutiny in northern parts of Western Port.

The Western Port Biosphere is recruiting residents of Yaringa, Cannons Creek, Warneet and Blind Bight to join in an animal survey which starts this month.

“We need baseline data about what animals are living in this area,” biosphere executive officer Cecelia Witton said.

“Residents of this area can help us with this important work by recording what native and pest animals they see on their properties and in neighbouring areas.”

Using motion sensing cameras in reserves the biosphere has already built a record of birds, wallabies, echidnas and possums as well as foxes, dogs and cats and now wants to extend its range of data by including observations by residents.

Information about native and pest animals is used to develop pest animal control programs and the animal survey is part of the biosphere’s work as a

partner in the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority’s “Protecting the ecological values of the Western Port Ramsar site” project.

To join the animal survey download forms at biosphere.org.au or call project officer Sally Jacka on 5979 2167.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Certificates awarded for good work Compiled by Melissa Walsh HOW would you treat your husband if you found he were a German spy?

Come and see at the Red Cross Dramatic Entertainment by St Paul’s Club next Wednesday night. *** “IS war ever right?” Come and hear the dialogue at St Paul’s Club dramatic entertainment, at Frankston on Wednesday. All money taken at the door goes to the local Red Cross Fund—no expenses. *** THE many friends of Mr Corlett Senr, of Langwarrin will be pleased to hear that he is recovering from his illness and hopes to be about as usual in a few days. *** THE President of the Shire (Cr W. J Oates) will officially open the Mornington Junction Miniature Rifle Range this afternoon at 3pm, All interested in rifle shooting are given a cordial invitation. *** THE friends of Mr D Downs, who recently enlisted and went into camp, will regret to hear that be is dangerously ill with meningitis, and is at present in the Alfred Hospital. *** WE regret to learn that Mr C. O’Connell, who met with a serious accident some months ago, by being thrown from his jinker, is still confined to his bed, and it will still be some time before he is able to return to Frankston.

*** THE Hon Treasurer of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund desires to acknowledge the donation, through Mr W. H. Prosser, of the sum of £1 10s from the Wesleyan Sunday School prize winners. They unanimously decided to forego their prizes and donate the value of them to the above Fund. *** THE many friends of Mr. J. E. Ridout will regret to hear of his death, which occurred at his residence, Frankston on Friday evening, 20th inst.

On Tuesday previous a blood vessel on his brain burst, and he gradually became unconscious, and died as above stated. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew him and his loss will be sincerely mourned by his wife and family, and a large circle of friends.

The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery on Sunday afternoon, the Rev R. Jackson officiating at the grave. *** MR C. W. Murray of Langwarrin, left on Wednesday last by the S.S. Katoomba for West Australia. As he for some time past has filled the position of hon secretary to the progress Association and correspondent of the school committee, his departure has left those positions vacant.

So far no one seems willing to fill those positions, but it is hoped someone will be public spirited enough to fill the gap and keep those public institutions on the road to well doing. ***

WE have again to record this week, of several of our Peninsula lads being wounded at the Dardanelles; and unfortunately of the death of Private Colin Thomas, of Somerville, who succumbed to his wounds, while in the hospital ship, and Private Norman Tetley, who was killed while in action.

Private A. Meldrum, of Somerville, is reported wounded, and Lieut.Corporal W L Cooke, of Flinders, as ill. *** A very happy evening was enjoyed on Saturday last August 21st at Seaford, where a concert and social was arranged by the Church of England in aid of the fund to reduce the debt.

The musical part of the evening was arranged by Mrs Glidden, who, with help of Miss Draper as accompanist, trained about twenty children as a choir.

The children sang very delightfully four sacred songs, and pleased everyone. Others who took part in the programme were Mr and Mrs Galway, and Mr M. Galway, the Misses Longmore, Mrs Armstrong, Mr Peebles, and Mr Hoare.

At the end of the musical programme supper was served, and a short dance completed the evening’s enjoyment. *** THE hon. sec. (Dr Plowman) of the fund for presentation to volunteers recently enlisted from Frankston and the immediate district, desires to acknowledge the receipt of the following donations to the fund :—Lieut. Colonel Grimwade, £5 ; Sir John Madden, £2 2s ; G. W. Booth, Esq., £2 2s; C.

P. Watson, Esq, and Miss Watson, £1 2s 6d ; Mrs (Captain) Pidgeon, £1 1s; C. G. V. Williams, Esq., £1 1s ; W. Beckwith, Esq, £1; Jas Grice, Esq., 10s; Mrs Moloney, 10s; Mrs Hunt, 10s ; Captain Sherlock, 5s; Mrs W. H. O’Grady, 5s; Mrs Garrood, 5s ; Messrs Ritchie and Co., 5s; M. Jacobs, Esq., 5s; 44 donations of 2s 6d each ; 2 of 2s each; and 4 of 1s each. *** ST Paul’s Club advertise a social for next Wednesday night at 8.15 at the Mechanics’ Hall Frankston. The whole of the takings are to go to the Red Cross Fund. Some of the items will be appropriate to the occasion, for example a dialogue on “Peace and War”, and a dramatic item entitled “The Spy”.

Songs and other musical items will be also on the programme, which will include a farce entitled “An Interrupted Proposal”. At the end of the programme a short dance will be held, and Mr and Miss Cowan have kindly promised to supply the music, with flute, piccolo and piano. It is hoped the social, admission for which will be one shilling, will be well attended.

Two or three raffles will be drawn during the evening, notably one for a pug puppy, and one for a doll. It is hoped during the evening that a presentation from the club will be made to Private Matthew Elliott. *** ON Wednesday afternoon an official visit was paid to the Frankston State School by members of the Board of Advice, for the purpose of present-

ing junior certificates from the Department of Education to eight of the scholars who had passed the necessary test for juniors in swimming, diving, floating and methods of resuscitation.

The chairman of the Board (Mr E.M’Comb) in presenting the certificates, impressed on the children the necessity of going still further than they had gone, and thus being able to compete for a higher grade when the Department sent an officer to examine them.

The following are the names of the successful competitors:—Nancy Cameron, Lexie Richardson, Christina Hay, Ivy Bray, Arthur Gale, Geo Bradbury Raymond Coxall, and Hector M’Comb.

After the presentations the children sang the National Anthem, and Mr Richardson (the head teacher) returned thanks to the Board on behalf of the children, who were then dismissed.

The members of the Board, after an inspection of the school, were invited

by Mrs Richardson to partake of a cup of tea ,which was much appreciated, and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the lady for her kindness. *** ALEX Scott and Co. report,— A moderate supply of both milkers and springers, prices on the whole being without alterations.

A Grain of Salt TWO years for Collingwood’s Lachie Keefe and Josh Thomas and $50,000 apiece? Like a thousand others on any one night they took an illegal drug which apparently included a performing enhancement. So much for Collingwood looking after “their boys”. Everyone scampering to come out of it with halos. Worse still the Essendon boys. Three years now.

“They had a choice”? What choice if they refused? Ten years focussed on “making it” with the probability of bye byes for a supplements refusal?

The first choice was to protect those kids, lying and leaking unabated. For the good of the game? Nathan Buckley suggested it may be the making of his two boys; sweet nonsense. The clubs, ASADA, WADA, AFL, Herald Sun, The Age, Fox Footy. Like most politicians; hypocrites. *** Nathan Buckley, James Hird and Michael Voss; champion footballers not necessarily champion coaches. James Hird blamed the AFL as expected, never him, then added “it’s about the players”, a shade late James? Rather sad, but it’s difficult to shed tears for millionaires. Tony Shaw on extending Nathan’s contract: “I thought they might have gone a bit too hard a bit too early in dumping really talented players”. Shaw being the first to call for Heath Shaw to be dropped; a convenient memory. If Nathan could coach half as well as he talks my once mighty Magpies would be right up there. *** Dear Danny Andrews, (John Kennedy, ex-Hawthorn coach “Don’t think, do!”); GF Eve holiday and a $220,000 logo design for nine

Always amusing; the assumption judges are beyond reproach. Nobody is beyond reproach. Imagine Gillian Trigg at a Labor fundraiser? *** All those labour saving devices in the 50s to 80s have disintegrated.

The sheer need to keep up with technology is overwhelming. The more I let one go the further I get behind, to the point of near surrender. A word processor, Google and away we go; once upon a time. Now they upgrade, be it software or new models, and to comfort you they restrict your usage of the old model. Buy a new one or stay behind to the point of more confusion, more money and memory breakdown. I assume (on the basis of George Orwell’s prediction) we are but a step away from security control through our screens. Therein lies the danger of emitting wind being interpreted as a boo? *** $40 billion on Navy ships in South Australia. Why?...Nick Kyrgios sentenced to all of January in Rye?...

*** This is my last column. 130,000 words is quite enough. I’m saddling up my horse and riding into the setting sun. My hero (Hopalong Cassidy) has lived through his adventures, and, when it was over, he got on his horse and rode into the sunset.

What happened when he disappeared over the horizon with Lucky and California? What happens after the “The End” placard covers the screen? Do they take time off before finding another adventure?

Do they die of wounds suffered during those 66 movies? Do they live happily ever after in some frontier town? Not a bit of it. They run out of daylight puff, camping quietly in a unit, listening to a Roy Rogers CD, or Gene Autrey.

I’m reliably informed an upmarket swisho villa in Bali away from the madding crowd with the ocean as your view, serviced by a maid, cook and perhaps a lover (or two) can be had on a 12 months lease for $15,000.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

These are the ties that bind

By Stuart McCullough IT’S hard to be ‘the one’. Fate can play some pretty nasty pranks from time to time and, without really meaning to, you might find yourself being held responsible for an absolute disaster. No one wants to be the person who undoes a good idea. There’s not a soul on this earth who deliberately sets out to be the one that sinks the ship whilst simultaneously slaying the golden goose. It was a decade before they could make another Batman after George Clooney was done with him. Poor George. It wasn’t his fault the whole thing stunk like a week-old trout in the sun. He was simply in the wrong place in the wrong time.

There is no franchise as beloved as Star Wars. I was never a fanatic, but that one trip to the Burwood Drive-In in the family Volkswagen remains one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life. I knew nothing of it when we arrived. By the time we left, my life had been forever changed. Star Wars was to become a defining part of my childhood, something I’d talk about with classmates. I had action figures, the classic Luke Skywalker haircut and a light saber for about thirty seconds after I received it as a gift for Christmas but promptly bent in half during an overly vigorous duel with my brother. But after three films, George Lucas wisely called time; leaving behind a fantastic, epic story that each new generation of moviegoers can discover for themselves. Then, of course, he changed his mind.

After years of begging, the public were finally getting what they had so

long demanded – more Star Wars films were on the way. New films meant new creatures which, in turn, meant new merchandise that could appear on lunchboxes the world over and be purchasable as plastic figurines. They must have had such high hopes. Enter

Jar Jar Binks.

You’ve got to feel a little sorry for him. Prior to The Phantom Menace, he was just quietly going about his life, working as a barista and an organic whole foods café called ‘The Mighty Turnip’, supplementing his income by

has since been described as one of the most reviled characters in film history.

Jar Jar Binks appeared in the next two installments but in a drastically reduced role. Inevitably, the work dried up. Madonna changed her musical direction. Blanche from The Golden Girls no longer returned his calls. Jar Jar got bumped from barista to clearing tables at ‘The Mighty Turnip’. He withdrew from public life, even quitting as keyboard player for Keanu Reeves’ band, ‘Dogstar’.

In the process of moving house, there have been many discoveries.

Perhaps most startling of all is that I appear to possess any number of neckties that I would only ever wear at gunpoint. As I was sorting through a pile of ties, there was one that caught my attention. Black and made a synthetic material that was both unpleasant to the touch and (probably) highly flammable, there was a picture at the bottom. There, at the end of the tie, was a picture of Jar Jar Binks, smiling as though he hadn’t a care in the world.

I have no idea why I have a Jar Jar Binks necktie and cannot imagine a circumstance under which I’d wear it to work. But that’s not the point. Rather, it’s a reminder of another time. One where Jar Jar thought the world was not merely his oyster but his seafood platter. Where anything was possible.

Now it’s a souvenir of an unmitigated disaster. Soon there will be another Star Wars film. But as you await its release, spare a thought for the guy clearing coffee cups at The Mighty Turnip. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

picking up occasional gigs as an actor. He’d appeared as Blanche’s loveinterest in an episode of The Golden Girls and been a back-up singer / dancer for Madonna on her ‘Who’s That Girl’ world tour but had never really threatened to breakout as a bona fide star. But, one fateful night, everything changed, after Jar Jar got a message on his pager to call George Lucas.

Imagine it. Someone tells you they’re going to change your life forever by putting you in one of the most anticipated movies of the decade. Then they tell you you’ll be playing the role of a Gungan from the planet Naboo.

So far, so weird. But regardless of how strange it might sound, Jar Jar would have consoled himself with the thought that these people were responsible for some pretty wonderful films and, doubtless, they knew what they were doing. With the benefit of hindsight, Jar Jar might also have paused to consider that these very same people were also responsible for Howard the Duck, one of the most spectacular cinematic flops within memory, living and dead and even not quite feeling itself.

When The Phantom Menace was finally unleashed on an expectant public, the results were mixed. It was, without a shadow of a doubt, a huge financial success, paving the way for two further films. But things did not go so well for Jar Jar. To say that his performance was poorly received is like describing the maiden voyage of the Titanic as leaving room for improvement. Put simply, it was a disaster for the aspirant actor. Jar Jar Binks

LENNON: YESTERDAYS IN THE LIFE

By Neil Walker “I would love to be Doctor Who!”

The dark side of Lennon’s character could be hurtful to those close to the late Beatle but Waters says people who have seen the show who knew Lennon reckon Waters and D’Arrietta’s Glass Onion show captures the essence of the man who they could not help but forgive.

Actor and musician John Waters’ declaration has been prompted by mint magazine’s suggestion the 66-year-old would be a perfect choice to play the Time Lord in BBC TV’s longrunning sci-fi show now the Beeb has seen sense and is skewing older in its casting of the good Doctor in the form of current incarnation Peter Capaldi.

“He was rejected by both his parents and brought up by his aunt so there was a lot of anger there,” he says.

“I found him to be a very angry man and most of the people who’ve seen my show who knew him said ‘he was a really nice guy but he couldn’t help the anger, it came out and made him quite prone to some violent outbursts now and then’. He did have that side to him.”

While mint hopes the Scotsman does not immediately vacate the TARDIS there will come a time – as for all 11 of his Doctor Who predecessors – for the 57-year-old Capaldi to regenerate.

“Of course, the body is only a vehicle for The Doctor but I think he looks better when he’s older,” Waters says.

Before heading to the US to perform the Lennon show, Waters and D’Arrietta had to seek Yoko Ono’s permission to stage the Glass Onion show off Broadway.

“I think the original Doctor William Hartnell was fantastic because I was around for him but there’s been a few good ones.”

“I think she’s always supported it and thinks it’s a good idea,” Waters says.

You read it here first. The time could soon be right for the first Australian Doctor Who. Kind of. Waters was born in London but he is also an Aussie, spending time between this country and England between acting jobs.

“There’s no big money in it for her because her percentage of our percentage is pretty tiny so it’s more about protecting the image and I understand why she does that I think she does a great job. She’s been fabulous with us. We got great reviews in New York and we were relaxed because we knew we had her full backing.”

This push to install Waters as the next Doctor is thanks to his role as D’arcy in hugely-successful TV comedy drama Offspring, since mint reckons there was an almost Jon Pertwee-ian sparkle to the character, the father of Asher Keddie’s Nina.

Waters admires Ono (“We couldn’t have done the show without Yoko’s support”) and remembers the harsh public criticism she copped at the height of The Beatles’ career in the 1960s.

But enough Doctor Who. Let’s talk another UK cultural icon: John Lennon.

“Yoko was reviled by the press. They slagged her off all the time and used racist epithets about her, called her ‘inscrutably Oriental’ and all that and she really supported John. She herself was an avant-garde artist of very high standing in her own right in New York City.”

Waters has been “playing” the role of Lennon on and off since 1991 when he had the idea for a stage show based on the former Beatles man’s life and he’s bringing the show to Frankston Arts Centre in early September.

In fact, Waters believes Ono was pivotal to the success of much of Lennon’s best later music.

Thankfully Waters doesn’t dress up as and impersonate Lennon, rather he tries to capture the attitude and spirit of the legendary singersongwriter.

“Even though his angry political songs were good in that decade it was great to hear him going back to those great groove-based pop songs he was so good at writing. Songs like (Just Like) Starting Over.

“I wanted it to be based around the songs and what they said about him because they are quite autobiographical. I also based what I was doing on some of the things he had said and his attitudes. I’d read enough and followed enough through the newspapers, ever since I was 16 really.”

“It’s a Yoko word ‘Imagine’. It’s a whole concept by her about bringing something into existence by imagining it. She did contribute to John’s work in a major way because she was the biggest influence in his life at that time.”

While interest in Lennon’s life has risen in the past two decades – boosted by the likes of Oasis singing his praises during the Britpop boom of the ‘90s to a generation not around in the ‘60s – Waters says no-one had thought about staging a show about his life and songs a decade after Lennon’s death in 1980.

At first, Waters decision to rope in musical partner Stewart D’Arrietta to perform the Lennon: Through A Glass Onion show was a pragmatic one despite the actor’s love of The Beatles’ and Lennon’s music.

“The short answer is ‘unemployment’. You’re looking around for something to do in one of those down times,” he says.

“My career was good but I just had ‘a hole’ and guys I knew who ran the entertainment room at The Tilbury Hotel in Woolloomooloo in Sydney said ‘Hey, we’ve got a spare three weeks coming up in a month’s time, do you have a show you could do?’ and I went ‘yep’ but hadn’t actually thought about it at that stage.”

Co-opting D’Arrietta proved to be the start of a long and winding road for the Glass Onion show which made its way to Lennon’s adopted home city – New York – two years ago, decades after its first small shows in the Sydney suburb in 1991.

Fast forward forty years or so – and three decades since the Glass Onion show made its debut – and the spirit of John Lennon is still very much alive and heading to Frankston next month.

Waters was thrilled by the audience reaction to the show in New York during a sold-out 122 shows run off Broadway at the Union Square Theatre.

“We loved it ... I think John Lennon is more revered in New York than anywhere else, including Liverpool. They just loved him there.

They loved the way he’d chosen their town and adopted it and thought very highly of New York.

He was recognised on the streets but they left him alone and that’s what he liked about it.

New York is like that. There’s a lot of famous people walking down the street and nobody really bothers about them too much.”

But, much like Lennon’s real-life character, there was a dark side to the freedom afforded the famous in The Big Apple when Lennon was callously shot and murdered.

“Rather tragically that was what killed him in

the end – his accessibility and a random lunatic thing that happened to him because of his celebrity,” Waters says.

It’s this premature end to Lennon’s life that Waters credits with keeping the Glass Onion show alive in audiences’ minds.

“People didn’t realise they felt as much as they do about Lennon, about the tragedy of a man who’s just really actually reached a pinnacle of peace in his own life and his own head ... settling down and calming down.

“So suddenly for it all to end there it gives people an emotional jolt and I think there’s no stage show that lasts the distance unless it has an emotional impact. I didn’t know how to strive for that, being a bit of first timer when I put it together, but it must have hit the target. It does provoke an emotional reaction in people.”

After that, the show must go on to the Edinburgh International Festival in August. It began as “something to do between gigs” for Waters but has morphed into something bigger than he ever anticipated.

“It has sort of taken over my life to a certain extent,” he says.

But then Lennon and The Beatles had dominated many days in his life since Waters’ mid-teens.

“I was born in late 1948 so was 16 when The Beatles arrived so I was really in that dead set target audience. It dominated all of our lives.

It wasn’t really a case of whether you were a Beatles fan or not, The Beatles were the soundtrack for us.”

And a soundtrack for subsequent generations.

Lennon: Through a Glass Onion will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre, 27-37 Davey St, Frankston on Saturday 12 September, 8pm.

Giant gingerbread house arrives at Karingal Hub centre to start receiving the exclusive retailer offers.

Community Knitting Drive In partnership with members from the Peninsula CWA, Karingal Hub will be setting up a community knitting drive.

They invite you to participate to help make a difference to our local community.

This essentially is a relay concept, where we are asking you to knit and leave, allowing another participant to continue the process.

The goal is to create woollen blankets which can then be donated to the Frankston Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Special Care Nurseries.

This will be located inside the Gingerbread House. Alternatively, the local community can donate already made knitted squares that will then be used to create the blankets.

8 ply wool is used and they are asking for 40 x 40 stitch squares.

Facebook Competition Make sure you keep an eye out on Karingal Hub’s Facebook page for your chance to win 1 of 10 Family Village / Star Zone experiences. All shoppers do is take a selfie in front of the house and post it on the Karingal Hub Facebook Page with the hashtag #winteratkaringal.

KARINGAL Hub is a real winter wonderland at the moment with a 4 metre x 4 metre gingerbread house in the centre court.

There is mouldable snow at the front of the house and a campfire/picnic area at the back.

The house is covered with real gingerbread men (supplied from the local Hosome Gingerbread Factory).

The inside features furniture and customers are invited to use it as a relax/chill out zone.

Competition A $4,000 winter holiday package to New Zealand is up for grabs!

Hillmen rocket into finals NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED Hill will take enormous momentum into its Elimination final against Hastings this weekend after belting Dromana to the tune of 86 points on Saturday.

The Hillmen have won four matches in a row by an average margin of 59 points and have regained that confidence that eluded them in the middle part of the season. The Hillmen’s last two wins against Dromana and Frankston Bombers have been by 86 and 113 points respectively.

Red Hill beat Hastings at the start of the month (three rounds ago) in a hard fought, tough contest by 27 points.

Red Hill went into the final home and away game of the season having to beat Dromana, while relying on Sorrento to beat Rye. While Red Hill went in as favourite, it had lost to Dromana on the previous three occasions.

From the very first bounce, the Hillmen got their backyard in order and opened up a 30 point lead at the first change.

In the corresponding game earlier in the season, the Hillmen did the same and went on to kick just one more goal for the game.

Not this time. By half time, the margin had blown out to ten goals and Red Hill had placed itself in a position to jump into the top five.

Jake Mold booted five goals, Jared Eames four and teenager Danny Allsop three majors while Jake Mitchell and Daniel McNamara also dominated.

Daniel Guerts and Kieran Voelkl were the best of the Tigers.

After the match, Red Hill coach Tony Blackford was obviously very pleased to be part of another finals campaign.

“Once you’re in Toey, anything can happen,” said Blackford.

“Our game finished a lot earlier than the Sorrento v Rye game so we all got in the rooms to listen to the last ten minutes on the radio. The guys were obviously pretty excited.

“We go into next week knowing we’re playing really good footy again and we were lucky enough to beat

Season slips away: The siren couldn’t come quickly enough for Crib Point, going down to Somerville by 106 points.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Hastings a few weeks ago.

“Finals are a different ball game altogether though and as far as I’m concerned, it all starts again.

“We’ll prepare the best we can and no doubt give it our best shot.

“We’re the underdogs of all the teams in the finals but we don’t plan to be there just making up numbers.

We’re confident we can have a real impact if we play to our potential,” said Blackford.

While Red Hill got the four points, it had to rely on Sorrento to knock over Rye. It wasn’t until the 20-minute mark of the last quarter that Red Hill could start to celebrate.

Rye played the best football I had witnessed it play this season and took it right up to the Sharks.

On a couple of occasions through-

Sudoku and crossword solutions

out the match, it appeared as though Sorrento was going to break the game open, however, with their season on the line, the Demons kept fighting back.

Scores were locked together at half time and the margin was just nine points at three quarter time in favour of the home side. The final margin was three goals, 16.10 (106) to 13.10 (88).

Jon Croad was superb for the Sharks, despite not being named in their best, while Daniel Grant was also a solid four-quarter contributor.

Brady Egan is a star of the competition and he was excellent for the Demons, while Adam Kirkwood was superb in the back half, despite his opponent Myles Pitt kicking three goals.

The other big game everyone was

keeping an eye on was Hastings versus Rosebud.

What a fizzer that turned out to be.

Rosebud mauled the Blues from the first bounce and won by more than 100 points.

The Buds kicked 20.12 (132) while restricting the Blues to just 4.6 (30).

The Buds went into the game without Greg Bentley and Paul Kennedy and full back Chris Zurek. Chris Rogers, Jackson McRae and Brenton Payne all played in the reserves while Sean Downie was at Stingrays.

Rob Forrest was at his devastating best with five goals while Ryan Spooner booted four and Tom Baker three. Matt Baker was superb on Luke Clark.

Jake Hewitt and Shaun Foster were the best of the Blues.

Hastings now has a week to regroup

before playing Red Hill in the knockout Elimination Final.

Rosebud has been the best side all season and deserves the week off.

Crib Point was put out of its misery at 4.30pm yesterday by Somerville, losing by a whopping 106 points.

It’s a far cry from the club that was flying this time last year and was a genuine premiership threat.

This season has been a disaster for the black and white, winning just three games for the season.

Coach of the Year in 2014 Duane Annable has stepped down and the popular choice if you listen to the beating drums is that Brad Arnold will take control.

The Eagles were sensational on Saturday, despite a lacklustre opposition.

Make no mistake, Somerville is right there with Rosebud as the best teams in the competition.

Tom Shaw booted five goals, Rowan Hogenbirk was back from a quad injury with four goals and Billy Rolfe is just winding up for a big finals series – he finished with four goals.

Adrian Speedy and Justin Allsop were outstanding.

Devon Meadows finished the season on a real high, winning its final four games. It beat Tyabb on Saturday 24.17 (161) to 9.14 (68).

Dylan Hand booted seven goals and Beau Miller and Pat Harmes dominated.

Jake Anderson kicked five majors for the Yabbies and Adrian Clay in his 150th game was outstanding.

In the final game, Pearcedale finished on a high too and beat Frankston Bombers, 18.7 (115) to 12.10 (82).

In what has been a tough season for both clubs, they both finished where expected. I think both clubs misunderstood the strength of the competition and there was talk of finals from both camps.

Pearcedale must resign its coach Jamie Merchan and invest in additional talent.

If Merchan was to go, and he doesn’t want to, I think the ripple effect could be significant.

Both the Panthers and Bombers can’t keep treading the boards and expect things to improve.

Another ton for Justin Van Unen PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT Eliza full forward Justin Van Unen booted the five goals he needed against Pines on Saturday to notch his second century in the MPNFL. ‘JV’ first kicked 100 goals when he was playing for Rye in an Elimination Final and while he was still wearing the red and blue on Saturday, this time it was for the Redlegs.

Van Unen had the tough job of playing on the returning Beau Hendry on Saturday, making the feat even that much more impressive.

In 16 games, Van Unen has averaged almost six goals a game and he holds the key to the success of the Redlegs this season.

Despite the potency of Van Unen in attack, the strong midfield group and the experienced defence, many still say Mt Eliza and the rest of the teams in the Peninsula competition are playing for second place.

Many believe that Frankston YCW is by far the best team in the competition.

It’s hard to argue following their shaky start. Figures don’t lie and the Stonecats are head and shoulders better in the points for and against column.

Regardless, it’s not a theory that sits well with Mt Eliza coach John Georgiou.

“I think it’s very disrespectful to my players and the other teams in the competition to hear we are all playing for second prize,” said Georgiou.

“We didn’t play a great game against YCW the last time we played them but we’re really confident in the way we are playing.

“Mornington have been very good this season too and Pines and Edithvale-Aspendale have shown that they are more than capable on their day.

“I think the season is wide open for the team that brings its best on any given day. Frankston YCW has lost three games, so we know they can be beaten.

“They (YCW) are a strong team, we know that, but they can be beaten.”

Georgiou said there was no chance of a return for his star forward Scott Lockwood.

Redlegs manage to hold on: Despite Pines storming home, Mt Eliza won by eight points. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

“Scott has been a great player for us for a long time and unfortunately his knee won’t allow him to get up for the rest of the year,” said Georgiou.

“We have made some adjustments in personnel but our structures are still the same. We’re very confident our best is still good enough,” he said.

Mt Eliza’s best was good enough on Saturday against Pines.

While the Pythons came storming home with a four goal to one last quarter, Mt Eliza was still able to record a pretty comfortable victory, 11.19 (85) to 11.11 (77).

Sam Gill, Karl Lombardozzi and Dave Barton dominated for the Redlegs.

Aaron Edwards booted four goals and Guy Hendry three for Pythons while Chris Guganovic and Shaun White also had a heap of the footy.

Mornington put the second last nail in Langwarrin’s coffin, smashing the Kangas 23.12 (150) to 8.8 (56).

Langwarrin has just one more week to go in what has been an extremely frustrating season.

They have been cursed with injuries again this season. They couldn’t afford one.

Their coach, Gavin Artico, has resigned and its best player Rikki Johnston has accepted the Dromana coaching job. It’s highly likely that Luke O’Neil and Liam Hogan will return to the Tigers with Johnston. Who could blame them.

The Langwarrin job is still a very good one for a coach that wants to invest three years.

The 2015 season has been a writeoff.

Jackson Calder had a field day on

Saturday with six goals for the Doggies while Daniel Moss and Warwick Miller brought their own Sherrin.

Shane Paterson, Rikki J and Jarrod Amalfi, who is rumoured to have signed at Frankston Bombers, were among the best for the blue and white.

Jarrod Garth booted eight goals for Edithvale-Aspendale as they torched Seaford on Saturday.

The Eagles booted 14 goals to five in the second half to win 24.15 (159) to 9.11 (65).

Brett O’Hanlon booted four goals and Mark Mullins and Matt Clark dominated.

Dean Williamson and Brendan Doyle were the best of the Tigers.

Frankston YCW opened up a 32-point quarter time lead against Bonbeach and finished with a solid 50-point win, 21.12 (138) to 13.10

(88).

Ryan Santon kicked four goals and Lew Roberts and Kyle Hutchison three while Brad Ulms and Byron Barry were dominant.

Jackson Casey and Jackson Sole were the best of the Sharks.

Chelsea was able to turn around a real form slump to get the job done against Karingal, 17.15 (117) to 12.9 (81).

Todd Gardiner was clearly the best player on the ground for the Gulls while Jayden Attard also worked pretty hard. Curtis Bywater played his best game for the club and Chris Charity booted six goals in only his fourth senior match.

Zac Clements, Brad Occhipinmti and Aaron Lees were the best of the Bulls.

Dromana to announce Six say yes to Southern United its team of the century

By Toe Punt DROMANA Football Club will announce its Team of the Century and Teams of the Decade over the past 70 years at a special gala function next season.

All members of Teams of the Decade (TOTD) will be notified of their selection in the next six weeks to give them plenty of time to plan to attend.

Almost all of these players will have met the criteria to be a member of the main team.

Each of the TOTD will have a coach, captain and vice-captain, as well as an interchange of six.

The Team of the Century will only feature players post World War II. This team will feature captain, coach, vice-captain and an interchange of 12.

The selection committee is made up of eight Life Members, including six former players who have played a total of 1060 senior games for the club from the early 1950s.

With quite a number of players being named in two TOTD, the club has a total of 142 individual players and two non-playing coaches.

PAGE 62

Dromana Football Club would like the assistance of the footy public to locate the following nominees for the 1946-55 team or family members. They are Alan Hosking, Vern Humphreys, Ken Coy, Jack Duncan, Harold Parkes, Doug Goad, Gordon Johnson, and former Army/Balcombe member Peter Burns.

Another player who the club last heard was in Western Australia and is in both 76/85 and 86/95 teams and played a total of 201 senior games is Michael James.

As a matter of history, Wally Guy first played in the 1931 premiership team and was capt/coach of the 1937/40/50 teams. His younger brother Eric (later St Kilda legend) played in the 1950 premiership and in 1958 after seven years in retirement, Wally came back and played in 1958 when another brother Ivan joined the club.

Former post 1940 players who played at least 175 club games have been recognised previously by the club with certificates given to family members and will have that recognition exhibited on an honour board next season.

Mornington News 25 August 2015

By Craig MacKenzie A HISTORIC liaison between six local soccer clubs underpins the Women’s National Premier League of Victoria application by newly formed Southern United.

Casey Comets, Mornington, Langwarrin, Seaford United, Skye United and Peninsula Strikers juniors have formed a consortium to back a single bid representing one of the largest catchment areas in Victoria.

The consortium has formal backing from the City of Casey and City of Frankston and a verbal pledge of support from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

There were 22 applicants for Victoria’s inaugural WNPLV competition due to kick off next year with just eight applicants to be granted a licence.

Applications closed last month and have been screened by an Assessment Panel that is preparing a report to be presented to the Football Federation Victoria board at its meeting on 28 August.

FFV also created a WNPLV Assessment Support Team to assist both the panel and applicants but also to act as a go-between in terms of communica-

tion and to maintain an arm’s length approach between the panel and applicants.

Applicants will be assessed on the following 13 criteria: 1. Teams 2. Youth development 3.

Coaching 4. Governance 5. Organisational structure 6. Finance 7.

Facilities 8. Medical 9. Reporting 10.

Member protection 11. Council support for facilities 12. Track record in women’s and girls’ football, and 13.

Geography.

The impetus for the Southern United consortium bid initially came from Langwarrin where junior girls coach James Honey broached the subject with club president Tanya Wallace.

“James was really, really keen on the elite women’s side of things and we soon realised that it was too big for one club to go it alone,” said Wallace.

“We also believed that we would have a better chance of winning a licence if we took a regional approach so I contacted the presidents of the other five clubs.

“To be honest I expected more opposition to the idea than what we received so it didn’t take long to form a consortium committee with repre-

sentatives from all six clubs.”

Michael Woodward, former Southern region zone representative from Strikers, is the inaugural Southern United secretary and former Matilda and Victorian state goalkeeper Theresa Deas is also involved.

The budget submitted with Southern United’s application forecast six-figure expenses and revenue with an anticipated profit in excess of $14,000.

The club also has produced a constitution, a logo and a number of designs and colours for home and away strips with a pink trim prominent.

Southern United proposes to play its home games on a rotating basis at Casey Comets, Mornington and Langwarrin as they fulfil the matchday venue criteria while training looks like being shared among the other consortium members.

“Casey Comets already have a WPL team but they felt it was better to be part of the bid rather than go it alone,” Wallace added.

“For all these clubs to come together like this is a first for the area and we’re pretty excited about the prospects but for now it’s just a matter of fingers crossed and hope for the best.”

Motoring Toyota Landcruiser extends its reign TOYOTA’S LandCruiser 200 Series is set to gain styling, performance and safety advances when an updated range arrives in Australia during the second half of October.

The 4WD legend’s two powerful V8 engines have been revised, resulting in more power for the twin-turbo diesel and achieving better fuel consumption and tighter Euro 5 emissions for both it and the petrol alternative.

Exterior sheet metal takes on a more modern and aggressive edge as part of the changes, while the interior has been revamped with soft-touch surfaces, revised instruments and controls and other refinements.

At the top of the LandCruiser 200 range, the Sahara expands its luxury reputation with air-conditioned seats and a package of advanced safety features including the ability to help prevent or reduce the severity of a collision.

The announcements for Toyota’s “king off the road” are the latest in a series of comprehensive renewals within the company’s 4WD range with an updated Prado due within weeks followed in October by the arrival of a new-generation HiLux and an all-new seven-seat SUV, Fortuner.

More than any other vehicle, LandCruiser has enabled Toyota to establish its foothold in the world’s markets.

In Australia, it continues as the undisputed king of its segment with sales up more than 4.3 per cent this year and a share of better than 83 per cent.

With the latest updates, LandCruiser’s improved 4.5-litre twin-turbo diesel engine gains new injectors, revised mapping and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) fitted with a guard to protect it over rough roads.

The changes have increased the power output of the commonrail diesel by 5kW or 2.5 per cent to 200kW while peak torque remains a thumping 650Nm. Fuel economy and emissions improve by around eight per cent with combined-cycle consumption slipping into single figures at 9.5 litres/100km, also bringing compliance with Euro 5 emissions regulations.

Jaguar adds AWD to fearsome F-Type JAGUAR Australia has rolled out its updated F-Type sportscar line-up, with all-wheel drive now available on ‘S’ and ‘R’ variants as well as a series of tweaks across the mode range.

The optional all-wheel-drive is available on both coupe and convertible versions of the S and R, while improvements to chassis electronics and the addition of electric steering have taken the place of external enhancements to the twoyear old soft-top and six-month-old hardtop.

The F-Type range now comprises 12 variants, with seven coupes and five convertibles, two drivetrains, two engines and two transmissions.

Jaguar Land Rover Australia marketing director Kevin Nicholls said the British car-maker wants to offer buyers a wide range of options, adding that the all-wheel drive variants should boost the model’s popularity.

“We believe sportscar buyers at this level want variety of choice and hence, the new AWD models and manual versions will drive incremental growth,” he said.

“The V6-engined models will obviously take the lion’s share of sales, but we are expecting the AWD to do well.”

Mr Nicholls estimates that the all-wheel-drive models will account for 15 per cent of volume going forward, while manuals will account for five per cent of total F-Type sales.

“We’re up around 18 per cent in sales with F-Type for the year to date, and we expect these new models to help maintain the momentum,” he said.

Prices for the two-seaters start from below $120,000 before on-road costs, dropping Jaguar into a sportscar bracket that includes Porsche’s 3.4-litre Cayman and Boxster pairing as well as BMW’s range-topping Z4 3.0 sDrive35is.

The base F-Type coupe, from $119,470, plus on-road costs, and convertible from $138,170, use a 250kW/450Nm version of Jag’s supercharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine, and both can be optioned with either a ZF-developed six-speed manual, or an eight-speed automatic for a $5000 upcharge.

The F-Type S duo runs a hotter version of the blown V6 that is good for 280kW and 460Nm, while the $151,700 manual coupe can be ordered with the eight-speed auto for an additional $5000.

The S is also the entry point for the AWD drivetrain, which can be optioned for the $172,470 automatic coupe – a $16,000 uplift over the $156,770 auto rear-driver. The manual, meanwhile, cannot be paired with the AWD system.

The F-Type S convertible is only available as an AWD auto at $175,470.

The S line sits clear of Porsche’s Cayman/ Boxster twins but is positioned well below the

$208,600 asking price of a 911.

At the top of the F-Type tree is the formidable 404kW/680Nm supercharged 5.0-litre V8-powered R range. The four-variant line-up is only offered with an automatic gearbox, while AWD adds $15,700 to the ticket on both cars. The coupe is $226,970 in rear-drive and $242,670 in AWD, while the convertible rises to $245,670 and $261,370 respectively.

The R will face off against a range of 3.4-litre, six-cylinder 911s, including the Carrera S ($245,200), Carrera 4S ($260,900) and Carrera 2 GTS ($268,700) coupes and both the 3.4-litre ($229,990) and 3.8-litre ($267,200) entry level 911 Cabriolets. Mercedes-Benz’s $229,000 SL400 Roadster is also in the bracket.

Running changes to the F-Type are minimal on the outside, comprising a reprofiled bonnet and subtle rump badges for the AWD derivatives. Spec-wise, reversing cameras, front parking sensors and a switchable sports exhaust are now standard fare instead of optional extras.

Torque vectoring – previously only specified on the R – has also been made available across the range. There have been minor recalibrations to the F-Type’s suspension tune to compensate for the fitment of the AWD system along with the addition of an inhouse-developed AWD torque control system, while electric power steering replaces the hydraulic set-up across the board.

Mornington Hydroponic Cafe WHAT better place to enjoy a fresh and delicious bite to eat than at the Mornington Peninsula Hydroponic CafĂŠ where a lot of the produce is home grown.

Owners Frank and Luana Donato have been growing hydroponically for many years, and was a natural process for Frank who has a degree in Agricultural science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had eggs here for 20 years, commencing in 1980, then in 2000 my parents retired and so we decided to continue the hydroponics aspect of the business,â&#x20AC;? said Frank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we supply freshly grown basil, herbs, lettuce and tomatoes to the major Coles supermarkets and the large IGA stores of which there are 37 throughout Victoria.â&#x20AC;?

Frank grows about 10,000 basil plants in winter and 15,000 in summer, employing five people with the hydroponic part of the business, and five in the cafĂŠ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell our produce from the farm which is so much cheaper than buying it in stores. It is also fresher as it is picked that day.â&#x20AC;?

Frank says that they use a lot of their own grown herbs and vegetables in the cafĂŠ menu which has become popular with locals and visitors alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have cakes and coffee, as well as other home-made goodies like lasagne, sandwiches, rolls and focaccias,â&#x20AC;? said Frank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also produce Greek heirloom hydroponic tomatoes which you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy anywhere else, and are grown purely for their taste.â&#x20AC;?

For optimum freshness and flavour, the herbs and lettuces are harvested every day, and tomatoes usually every second day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are all displayed in the front of the shop where I have a small hydroponic system. Otherwise you can walk into the large hydroponic setup and pick your own,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mornington Peninsula Hydroponic CafĂŠ is located on the corner of Craigie Road and Nepean Highway, Mt Martha.

Mornington Secondary College partners with Monash University IT’S definitely back to school for one hundred Bachelor of Education students and educators as Monash University and Mornington Secondary College join together to deliver a pilot teacher education program which focuses on student literacy, numeracy and sport. To date the results are very promising.

Dr Justen O’Connor, Course Leader in the Bachelor of Education degree at Monash University, and Mrs Sarah Burns, Principal of Mornington Secondary College, initiated this new and exciting program at the college.

The Monash Immersion Program, places 100 firstyear student teachers inside the classroom for 10 weeks, working with teachers as a team to deliver a tailored and individualised learning curriculum for students.

“We wanted to rethink the old model of how we develop the next generation of educators,” says Dr O’Connor.

“Previously, first year teaching students would be on campus at the University for most of the year and go into a classroom for only five days of observation.”

For Sarah Burns, Principal of Mornington Secondary College, having extra support in the classroom is a fantastic opportunity for students.

“It’s logistically complex, with up to an extra eight teachers in the classroom, but it is our students who are the direct beneficiaries of this extra support and guidance.”

Matti, a year seven student agrees, “They help in the class...they’re always there for you, and they make learning fun”.

Not only are the student teachers appreciating the opportunity to be in the classroom and complete a university unit at the College, they are also taking on extra-curricular roles, volunteering for outdoor education camps, sporting days, coaching and other events with the school.

The immersion model at the college looks set to be ongoing partnership for the future according to Dr O’Connor, “What we are able to do at Mornington Secondary College is just fantastic preparation for future teachers and teaching, we are linking our entire group of bright first-year students to student literacy, numeracy and sport education, one of the college’s key priorities,” says Dr O’Connor.

Mornington Secondary College Mornington Secondary College is proudly the college of the Mornington community. The college provides a “real” learning environment designed to meet the needs of each student as an individual. Students are supported to achieve at the highest academic levels and strong senior school pathways are offered.

An extensive range of VCE, VCAL and vocational (VET) courses are available, ensuring that all students are well prepared to make important decisions about their future in partnership with their families.

Our sports specialism programs have resulted in students competing at regional, state and national level. A wide range of extra-curricular clubs are available in Arts, Music, Performance, community participation and student leadership to name just a few.

Our outstanding facilities include: •

Heated indoor 25m pool

•

Gymnasium and Fit Club

•

3-court basketball stadium

•

Time to give your car a post-winter check NOW that the worst of the winter weather is over, bring your car in for a good check-up and make sure it is in good working order for the coming warmer months.

According to the RACV website, the most common problem affecting motorists during warmer months is an overheating engine, but a few simple checks can reduce your risk of being stranded.

The pre-summer checklist should include not only the radiator and cooling system, but also the electrical system, brakes and tyres, plus an overall â&#x20AC;&#x153;spring cleanâ&#x20AC;?.

Cooling system TOP up your radiator coolant to the required level, taking care to add the correct amount of coolant mixture as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Check all radiator hoses (including heater hoses) for firmness, replace any that are spongy or leaking, and keep spares of the main hoses and belts in the boot for emergencies.

The fan belt and any other drive belts, such as for air-conditioning or power steering, need to be inspected thoroughly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for fraying and correct tension â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so they do not slip, and any belts that are even slightly frayed should be replaced.

Electrical BATTERIES manufactured today are maintenance free but you should check the water levels and top them up if necessary. Use distilled water â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

never use tap water as it will harm the battery.

Routine maintenance should include removing any corrosion from the battery terminals, which can then be smeared with petroleum jelly to slow the corrosion process. An added

precaution is to wipe the high tension leads, spark plugs and distributor cap with a dry cloth.

Tyres ALL tyres, including the spare, must be properly inflated to cope with the demands of long trips and hot

remove the guesswork.

Uneven wearing of tyres may indicate a fault with the steering, suspension or wheel alignment, and these items should be checked if in doubt.

Brakes CONSULT a brake specialist if the car has a tendency to pull to one side when braking, if the brake pedal goes too close to the floor or has any other symptoms that seem unusual.

Check the hand brake as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; park the car on a hill, put it in neutral and, if it does not hold firm on the handbrake, have it checked and adjusted.

Clean lights and windows CAR windows should always be kept clean, as dirty glass can drastically reduce the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision when heading towards oncoming headlights or a low sun. Dirt increases the effect of glare.

Exterior dirt is easy to wash off, but it can be a constant battle to keep the inside of the glass free from the hazy film that builds up when a car is parked in the sun.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;hazeâ&#x20AC;? can usually be wiped off with a chamois, methylated spirits, or most domestic glass or general cleaners, but there is no magic formula to eliminate the problem altogether.

For good visbllity, keep the windscreen washer bottle topped up, and clean all lights and lenses.
