Hands cut out for donations
Sisterly love: Savannah’s concern for here brother Jagger gave her the impetus to raise money and awareness of the Donate Life project. The siblings are pictured with their mother Amelia LeeFangmeier Picture: Yanni
RYE Primary School pupil Savannah LeeFangmeier, 11, has a passion for life: so much so that she worked hard all holidays cutting out holding-hand figures for pupils to decorate as part of a Donate Life Week fundraiser. In the lead up to the event she visited the school’s art classes to explain what organ donation means. The Holding Hands art project involves all grade levels with pupils creating and colouring their own designs on the 500odd cut outs to demonstrate what organ donation meant to them. Their creations were displayed in the hall and judged by Savannah and class teacher Sandy Emile. They dressed up with a touch of pink – the Donate Life colours. Nearly $900 was raised on the day. “It has been so much fun talking to all of the students about what organ donation is and seeing their finished art paper dolls hanging holding hands in the school hall,� Savannah said. Savannah said she was motivated by support for her brother, Jagger, 4, who needs a double transplant. Money raised by Savannah’s efforts will go to Zaidees Rainbow Foundation.

This is required due to the steep terrain surrounding these locations, which is not accessible with convention [sic] vehicles and equipment,� the officers’ report states. “The helicopters will arrive from offsite and will carry the constructed pylons from the summit carpark staging area to their final locations within the corridor. The helicopter will not land on site.� One tower is to be erected near
dwellings, “thus limiting the amenity impacts associated with the use of helicopters�. Residents will be notified in advance of the work. “Any areas required to be blasted [because of harder rock] will be covered to prevent flying debris. Prior to any blasting, residents which [sic] may be affected will receive seven days’ notice,� the report states. “This will enable residents the opportunity to plan for the event.

Bringing back the horror of Pol Pot Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A FILM co-produced by Rosebud resident Gaye Miller and screening at the Southern Peninsula Arts Centre next week will be a reality check for some viewers. Camp 32 is a documentary about six-year-old Hom Chhorn who was imprisoned in a Cambodian labour camp by the Khmer Rouge where he witnessed the torture and brutality of the regime and the deaths of some of its 30,000 people. Hom was later sent with 150 children to live on a mountain for six months with no adult care or supervision. Few survived to come back down the mountain. Ms Miller has a strong spiritual connection with Cambodia and has spent “as much time as possible” there over the past 15 years. She has set up a library for orphan boys in a pagoda at Angkor Thom, a medical clinic for abused women near Phnom Penh, provided bicycles to a Kampot orphanage so children could ride to school, delivered thousands of mosquito nets in malaria-prone areas, paid children’s living allowances, and supplied surgical equipment. Ms Miller obtained qualifications to teach English and is a sponsor of several orphanages. She pays university fees and is a mentor and “mother” to a group of poor students. She describes her greatest challenge as getting shipping containers into far flung areas of Cambodia containing clothing, books, bikes, student aids, medical equipment and toys. Through

Robberies arrest A ROSEBUD man has been arrested over his alleged role in three burglaries at Rye and Blairgowrie on Tuesday last week. Rosebud Crime Investigation Unit believe other offenders are also involved in the the robberies in Canterbury Jetty Rd and Caxton and Lansdowne streets. Detective Sergeant John Coburn said property valued at $11,000 and an unknown amount of cash were stolen in the daytime raids. The haul included TVs, jewellery and medication. Detective Coburn said a neighbour became suspicious when a man claiming to be “from the gas company” knocked on his door and said he had “come to check the meter”. The resident noted the man’s “druggie looking appearance” and took down his car’s registration number. Police raided a house in Rosebud on Wednesday and charged a man, 29, with handling stolen goods. He has been bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 8 October.

nong. The contents may be disturbing to some viewers. The screening of Camp 32 is 7-8.30pm, Sunday 16 August, at the centre at Rosebud Secondary College, 245 Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud.
A SAFE containing an undisclosed sum was stolen from the Dromana Caltex service station on Wednesday night. Thieves smashed a glass door to gain entry to the non-24 hour servo on Nepean Highway. The same burglars are believed responsible for smashing a glass door to gain entry to Dromana RSL on the same night. “It’s believed they were looking for cash but none is stored there overnight so they got away with the second prize food hamper,” Detective Coburn said.
Resort tenders called as legal challenge fades Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE RACV has wasted little time getting into gear to start its $135 million resort at Cape Schanck. The possibility of a legal challenge of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s approval now appears unlikely. The controversial project was approved by just four councillors on 13 July. The council was reduced from 11 to seven councillors with three absent (Tim Wood, whose ward covers the resort, Lynn Bowden and Hugh Fraser) and one declaring a conflict of interest and leaving the council chamber, Graham Pittock (who has shares in the National Golf Club, which adjoins the RACV property).
Four councillors voted for the project and three against. Voting on the resort planning application had been delayed twice since May with councillors who belong to the RACV Club worried about conflict of interest. The council sought a ruling from local government minister Natalie Hutchins but she told them to get their own legal advice. The RACV late last month invited so-called second tier builders to tender for the project. Several companies have already asked sub-contractors to submit prices for various element of the job before the end of August. The company that built the RACV’s Torquay resort, Kane Construction, has been invited to tender for the Cape Schanck job. Kane has its own work gang.

resorts could signal each other. Last month during debate about the resort, councillors and residents in the public gallery were told by shire planner Arthur Cooksley the resort would create 476 full-time jobs during construction, with up to 120 full-time jobs after completion. “It will provide an annual economic impact of $11.7 million and support an additional 93 jobs in the shire,” he said. Hopes by some supporters of the project that many of the construction jobs could be taken by peninsula residents are unlikely to be fulfilled. Objectors said the proposed resort was too high at 30 metres and would change the coastal village nature of Cape Schanck. They were also concerned about increased traffic, noise,
light and overshadowing. Tourism interests supported the project, stating it would bring conference visitors to the peninsula during the off-season, which the peninsula’s tourism board has been promoting in recent times. The peninsula is almost at and sometimes over capacity during the summer peak with the permanent population swelling from 150,000 to as high as 250,000. Since the resort was approved, objectors have vowed to push the RACV to stick to and even improve its traffic management plan both during and after construction. “It’s the state’s peak motoring body and promotes road safety so it is reasonable to expect traffic management would be of the highest standard,” one resident said.

Both Cape Schanck and Torquay resorts have been designed by the socalled rock star architects Roger Wood and Randal Marsh of the Melbourne firm Wood Marsh, award-winning architects to the rich and famous. The company was recently commended for its Torquay design by the Australian Institute of Architects. The Torquay resort cost $115 million. It has 92 rooms, conference and gaming areas, and underground car parking. It was also controversial and remains so after recent claims about land and water use. An article in a recent edition of the RACV’s magazine stated the Torquay resort had views of Cape Schanck, which prompted one wit at the council meeting last month to suggest the two

On the move: Tootgaraook Primary School teacher Tace Withers and pupils prepare for an excursion in a bus bought by the George Hicks Foundation.
Keeping kids in the classroom TOOTGAROOK Primary School is making a big effort to keep disadvantaged pupils in the school system. “About 65 per cent of families here come from economically disadvantaged families and keeping them in school is a major challenge,” assistant principal Paul King said. “Disadvantaged pupils often feel isolated within the school system – dragged down by problems at home, unable to afford the right uniform and, sometimes, coming to school hungry. For some kids it just becomes easier to give up on school.” To help tackle these problems, the school, in Carmichael St, has joined
forces with charity St Vincent De Paul to provide funding for uniforms, books and school camps. Two volunteers aged in their 70s have developed a woodwork program and even go into pupils’ homes to help understand their individual circumstances. The volunteers also contribute food assistance to the Breakfast Club which is run and coordinated by a group of concerned parents, who also seek additional funds through local community groups. Inspired by the grassroots efforts made by Mr King and the volunteers, the George Hicks Foundation has also help fund the programs and even
bought a bus for the school. The foundation focuses on disadvantage on the Mornington Peninsula. Executive officer Stephanie Exton says the most successful programs to combat disadvantage are created and driven by local communities. “At George Hicks Foundation, we are all about supporting those determined and inspiring local people who don’t wait for help, but make things happen themselves,” she said. “The community at Tootgarook Primary School, led by Paul King, are the kind of people we want to support and fund.”

Police appeal over girl’s ‘disappearance’ ROSEBUD police are investigating a Rye school girl’s “missing couple of hours” on Monday last week. The girl, 13, got off the Flinders Christian Community College bus at 3.40pm at the corner of Cain Rd and Pt Nepean Rd and started to walk home. She later told Rosebud police that she noticed a white van with dark windows travelling beside her and then became aware of a stranger standing in front of her. Detective Sergeant John Coburn, of Rosebud CIU, said the girl’s next recollection was waking up on the beach near the lighthouse at McCrae, from where she called her mother at 7pm. She later received a medical examination. “The girl has no idea how she got there,” he said. “She feels she may have been taken in the van but she has no recollection of it. Fortunately she has no injuries and is well.”
Parents of students at the college were notified of the girl’s disappearance on Tuesday. Principal Nick Haines said the student was “approached and was taken by a person(s) in a vehicle and was found several hours later”. He described it as a “serious incident of significant concern” for parents. “This incident highlights the concern the college and community have for student safety when travelling to and from school. I strongly urge students to walk to and from the bus in the company of another student or adult and exercise great caution when approached by strangers.” He said the college was “relieved and extremely thankful that the girl is safe at home”. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or Rosebud CIU 5986 0444.

Rosie Batty book signing on Pier opening sees sails set in history peninsula a national first FAMILY violence campaigner, Australian of the Year and peninsula resident Rosie Batty will sign copies of her new book in Mornington in early October, the first signing following the biography’s release. Rosie Batty: A Mother’s Story tells the harrowing story of her son Luke, who was killed by his father at cricket practice in Tyabb, a story known by most Australians, and what has happened in the 18 months since. Ms Batty has become the national public face of family violence – before and after her selection as Australian of the Year – and galvanised public opinion behind a call for more to be done to combat a rising tide of domestic conflict. Publisher Harper Collins insisted on the first book signing being on the peninsula and asked Peninsula Voice to organise the event, which will be held at Peninsula Community Theatre on 8 October. Peninsula Voice is a new alliance of peninsula churches and community support groups tackling family
violence and other pressing social issues. It had Ms Batty as a keynote speaker at its family violence forum last September, also at Peninsula Community Theatre, which was filled to capacity. Ms Batty will be interviewed by ABC radio presenter Jon Faine at the signing. Peter Orton of Peninsula Voice said “Rosie has become an outspoken crusader against family violence, winning hearts and minds with her compassion, courage, grace and forgiveness. The event will be our chance to welcome Rosie back and share some stories of the roller coaster of the past 18 months.” Rosie Batty signs her book from 6.30-8.30pm, Thursday 8 October, Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Entry by donation. Places limited to 400 people. Book on 5975 5034 or www. facebook.com/FarrellsBookshop More info: events@farrells.com.au or www. farrells.com.au Mike Hast
PARKS Victoria gave Mornington’s “new” pier a soft launch on Saturday with an open invitation to the public to inspect the $15.3 million rebuild and enjoy a range of activities, including a fr4ee sausage sizzle. Lending weigh to the historic event was the schooner Enterprize, a replica of the ship built in Hobart in 1830 and
used five years later by John Pascoe Fawkner to bring settlers and provisions to what is now Melbourne. The Enterprize entered the Yarra River on 15 August 1835 and moored at what is now William St. The original ship was wrecked in 1847 on a sand bar off the Richmond River in northern New South Wales.
On Saturday passengers embarked on hour-long trips on the replica Enterprize as an admiring public, and their dogs, once again promenaded along Mornington pier. By late afternoon, the pier was again populated by anglers re-establishing the best spots to cast their lines.
Arthurs Seat Skylift project close to start Continued from Page 1 Skylift was mentioned at the Seawinds ward meeting on Thursday 6 August. More trees are proposed to be removed, lopped or pruned along the 40-metre-wide corridor over which the gondolas will travel up and down Arthurs Seat. Twenty-six trees were originally approved by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for removal. That number has now been revised to 39 of the 92 trees that have been “visually inspected, photographed, and their locations plotted via GPS”. Ten trees are proposed to be retained “and the remainder [are] identified as requiring further assessment post construction of the [towers] and cables
to determine whether full removal or pruning/lopping is required”. This means a further 80 or so trees along the corridor may be removed, lopped or pruned, compared with the original 26. Also raised at Thursday’s ward meeting was the low fire rating of the summit station. The shire’s statutory planning manager Niall Sheehy said council’s inhouse experts has liaised with the CFA and the other emergency services and were comfortable with the rating. The station will be built to cope with Bushfire Attack Level 12.5, the second lowest rating. A local house built recently was required to meet the BAL 40 standard, at substantial extra cost. Former Telstra chief David Th-
odey has replaced Skylift boss Simon McKeon as CSIRO chair. Mr McKeon’s term expired in June. CSIRO Staff Association secretary Sam Popovski welcomed the appointment, saying the flagship scientific group “continues to suffer the effects of heavy cuts to funding, jobs and research”. “Staff morale at CSIRO remains low, with the workforce reeling from the loss of one in five jobs over the past two years,” Mr Popovski said. Mr Thodey would also face challenges in protecting staff against the federal government's push to cut CSIRO working conditions, and championing the cause of scientific integrity within political and policymaking circles, Mr Popovski said.

Wine, green bowl and cherry tree for Irish 800th MISSION accomplished. Dedicated readers of this journal may recall Cr Graham Pittock being invited to visit Dromana House, Ireland, to help celebrate the 800th anniversary of the FitzGerald family’s occupation of the land on which the latest dwelling (circa 1780s) stands. Cr Pittock, whose ward includes Dromana, flew to Ireland with his wife, Prue, to the celebrations. They are now returned safely to their slightly younger parcel of land, with a tale or two to tell. The stories involve several bottles of Dromana wine and a rather nice green bowl, a gift from Dromana to Dromana House. And a cherry tree. First, the wine. Three carefully chosen bottles were safely placed in the Pittock luggage, along with the green presentation bowl, all cushioned amid shirts, socks and smalls to avoid breakage. They arrived intact at the Pittocks’ Irish lodgings after the long trip. But, as must occur in all Celtic sagas, tragedy struck, just metres from the bottles’ destination. The carton in which they were being conveyed to Dromana House to accompany the celebratory meal opened like a bomb bay door, launching one precious bottle toward the soft Irish sward across which Cr Pittock was walking. The lawn was edged with a narrow concrete strip, just metres from the house, with the inevitable consequence. How many kilometres had the bottles been conveyed without incident? How many hours of worrying about their safe arrival?
Eight decades: Shire councillor and Dromana resident Graham Pittock presents a green bowl to Barbara Grubb of Dromana House in Ireland at the 800th anniversary of the FitzGerald family occupation of the property. Picture supplied
However two bottles survived: they made it inside safely. The green bowl was presented intact to Barbara (Villiers-Stuart) Grubb, who as head of the family had issued the invitation to the Pittocks to celebrate the anniversary at the family demesne – land attached to a manor – standing proudly above a turn in the River Blackwater near Lismore in County Waterford, southern Ireland. Finally, the cherry tree. Cr Pittock was invited to plant a sapling to
commemorate the Ireland-Australia Dromana link and an old family story. A tree was to revive the tale of an ancient relative, Katherine FitzGerald, Countess of Desmond (circa 15041604). The countess’s tale is worth retelling. She was known by writers of the period, including Sir Walter Raleigh, as “the old Countess of Desmond�, who, it was said, lived to 120 years and more – some say 140. Others less romantically inclined

insist it was a mere 100 summers. She met her end, so the story goes, after falling from a tree. Some say it was a nut. Others say a cherry, up which she had shinned to gather a snack. Cr Pittock accomplished this “active and special role� which the invitation had vaguely mentioned. The anniversary celebrations were a roaring success, taking in the nearby village of Villierstown and including a boat ride in the motor launch Maeve Og along the Blackwater, which,
sadly, is not as fish-rich as it used to be. The event has kicked off another 800 years of family history, the story now requiring an aged countess to ascend the new cherry tree in about the year 2400 for a snack – but with family members standing below in case of mishap. And surely we can confidently anticipate that the “disaster� of the broken Australian wine bottle will be woven into the Dromana House annals. David Harrison

Axe owner sought after robbery arrests Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON Embona Armed Robbery Squad detectives are seeking public help in finding the rightful owner of an axe allegedly used in violent robberies at two peninsula 7-Eleven service stations late last month. They believe the axe was stolen in a previous aggravated burglary and used to commit other offences. Finding its owner could help them in their inquiries, they say. The axe and a handgun were allegedly wielded by two balaclava-clad offenders arrested and charged with armed robbery and car theft last week over the raids which terrorised lone store attendants in the early hours of Wednesday 29 July. In the first robbery, at 3.07am, the axe wielder is shown on CCTV footage jumping onto the counter and climbing through security wire, while the gunman stands in the customer area, pointing his gun at the attendant as well as a customer, crouching on the floor between shelving and a freezer. The bandits ransacked cupboards and filled up a bin with cigarettes and cash from the till. The axeman is then seen smashing a glass door between the customer area and the counter and forcing the attendant to lie on the floor of the customer area. The gunman also appears to threaten the customer, still crouching on the floor. The same offenders are also

charged with the 3.30am armed robbery at the 7-Eleven service station, Point Nepean Rd, Dromana. In the similar raid, the lone male store attendant was confronted by three offenders, one with a handgun and the other with an axe. Two offenders again went straight to the counter and climbed through security wire. With the gun pointed at his head the attendant was pushed into the staff area and forced to open the till.
The offender with the axe smashed a window near the till and stole an undisclosed amount of cash. The other two offenders used a bin to carry off their haul. The one with the axe – described by police as the “most volatile and violent� of the three – smashed a computer monitor in the manager’s office, struck the wall and again hit the window. They said the offender with the firearm appeared “more in control�
throughout both incidents. Detective Sergeant Alistair Hanson, of Frankston CIU, said six offenders – out of seven suspects – had been arrested over the robberies and each charged with two counts of armed robbery and two of car theft. They include: A 19-year-old Dandenong man who was also charged with aggravated burglary and car theft in Mt Eliza on Monday, as well as a number of aggravated burglaries, vandalism, and car thefts in Burwood, Brighton and Cheltenham. He faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday and was remanded to reappear on 23 October. He, and a 15-year-old Keysborough boy who was also charged with car theft and bailed to appear at Dandenong Children’s Court next month, both face 28 counts of criminal damage relating to the smashing of 20 car windows at Cheltenham late July causing $25,000 damage. The pair is alleged to have used golf clubs and a hammer to damage the cars parked in neighbouring streets during the 4-5am vandalism spree, described by a Kingston detective as “mindless vandalism�. A 20-year-old Dandenong man who was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in October; A 17-year-old Maidstone youth who was also charged over four armed robberies at Hawthorn, Alphington and Ascot Vale, and a carjacking at Dandenong. He appeared at Melbourne Children’s Court on Tuesday
and was remanded to reappear later this month. An 18-year-old Mulgrave man who was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in October. A 17-year-old youth, of no fixed address, who was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Children’s Court later this month. The six arrests form part of a bigger picture, with up to 25 offenders nabbed over a spate of aggravated burglaries, vandalism, thefts from and of cars, deceptions, petrol drive offs and armed robberies across Melbourne’s southern suburbs in the past few weeks. “They knew each other and were acting together; there was definitely a level of planning and organisation,� Detective Hanson said. The five Frankston Embona detectives are chuffed with their efforts to crack the 7-Eleven armed robberies so quickly. “Yes, we are pleased, but we have received lots of public support,� he said. “People sometimes become complacent about crime but, when it’s violent and in their patch, they say, “Enough is enough� and get involved. That’s been a great help to us.� Detective Hanson said the fact that the same offenders allegedly committed crimes in Kingston, Boroondara and Casey, as well as on the peninsula, also served to unite detectives from these disricts in their efforts to catch the offenders. “It was a very good joint effort by neighbouring CIUs,� he said.

One-legged snooker champ left his mark SORRENTO Portsea RSL Club had its snooker table re-covered last month and a little piece of Australian snooker history was revealed in the process. When Sean Partridge of Complete Billiards was removing the old cloth, he found this note written in pencil on the slate: “Stretch 14/1/96 Ron Atkins, 1980 runner-up World Snooker Championship.” A club member did some research. “Ron Atkins was a remarkable snooker player from Tasmania, who despite losing his left leg in a shooting accident, became one the best players of his time. He finished runner-up to snooker legend Jimmy White at the 1980 World Snooker Championships, which were held in Tasmania. Between 1964 and 1987, Ron won all 32 state and zone snooker championships he contested. He won the state title 15 times and the Australian amateur championships three times in the 1970s.” Mr Partridge said it was not uncommon for professional snooker players of yesteryear to supplement their earnings by playing in exhibition matches around the country. “They would often re-stretch the cloth at the conclusion of their match,” he said. In the past, cloth was attached to a table using tacks so it had to be tightened or “stretched” every few years. Today’s cloths are attached with staples, and don’t need to be stretched.
Specialist: Sean Partridge of Complete Billiards re-covers the table after finding the hidden note.
Mr Partridge praised the club’s table, an Alcock “Duke of Edinburgh”, one of the finest tables available and the same type in the RACV Club in Melbourne and on display at Werribee Park Mansion. As well as the new cloth, the club has bought new cues and snooker balls, and a heavy duty cover to keep the table in pristine condition. Sorrento Portsea RSL is at 1 Hurley St, Sorrento.

WOMBAT Birri made his first appearance at Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, Pearcedale, on Wednesday – and immediately crossed his enclosure to introduce himself to females Sydney and Tara. The three-year-old hairy-nosed wombat was released by the federal government’s threatened species commissioner Gregory Andrews, above, who was visiting to explain the government’s threatened species program. Park director Michael Johnson said Birri, from Taronga Park Zoo, Sydney, was a “big boy” and sure to be a favourite among the park’s 60 species of native animals. It opened in 2001. Picture: Yanni

MPs make ‘modest’ claims for travel Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE cost to the taxpayer of travel by the two federal MPs who represent Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula is reasonably modest compared with some of their colleagues. According to the latest available Department of Finance figures taxpayer-paid travelling expenses for the two MPs up to the end of December last year came to $249,249. The department says the costs relate to 1 July31 December 2014 and an unspecified time before 1 July 2014. Neither Mr Billson or Mr Hunt rated in the top 10 of MPs with the highest travel expenses. The bill for Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, who is also Minister for Small Business, was $109,198 while in the neighbouring electorate of Flinders, Environment Minister Greg Hunt’s travel costs were $140,051. Mr Billson took one ministerial overseas trip at a cost of $16,390. He also claimed $7849 (domestic flights and Commonwealth car) for his family. Mr Billson received a travelling allowance of $19,263 while Mr Hunt’s allowance came in at $20,503. Mr Hunt went overseas twice in reported period at a cost of $41,952. His family travel expenses came to $5267. Mr Hunt’s single biggest flight was a charter to Moranbah, in central Queensland. That trip on 10 June 2014 took him over the site of the contentious $16.5 billion dollar Carmichael open cut coal mining project. The proposal by the Indian company Adani Mining hit the headlines last week when govern-
ment approval for the mine was set aside by the High Court after being presented with evidence of a bungle within Mr Hunt’s department which meant there were no provisions to protect the endangered yakka skink and ornamental snake. When announcing approval of the mine in the month following his visit Mr Hunt stressed the remoteness of the area – “it is the deep outback; it is a sparsely vegetated area” – and that the mine would be subject to “some very, very strict conditions”. The falling price of coal and last week’s announcement by the Commonwealth bank of its withdrawal as Adani’s advisor may mean that the project’s “lifetime resource value of at least $300 billion” may stay in the ground. Mr Hunt’s overseas trips were to Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Germany ($16,780) to attend the 65th meeting of the International Whaling Commission and “to conduct a series of highlevel meetings”; and, the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam ($25,172) “to conduct a series of high-level discussions regarding the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area”. Mr Hunt’s other travel costs included $35,253 for scheduled domestic flights (mainly between Canberra and Melbourne or Sydney) and $37, 074 for cars ($6551 privately registered and $29, 612 Commonwealth cars). He also received a travelling allowance of $20,503. Mr Billson went to Singapore and China ($16,390) to attend an APEC Small and Medium Enterprise ministerial meeting “and conduct a series of other high-level meetings”. His other travelling costs included $39,205 for scheduled domestic flights (to most states but mainly to Canberra and Sydney) and $21,593 for cars ($9166 privately registered and $14,725 Commonwealth cars).

Don’t mind the squeaks, hark to whispers By David Harrison THE sound you can perhaps hear on the shire’s recording of its 27 July meeting is not what you might suspect. The ceiling of the Besgrove St council chamber was not about to collapse, nor was there a wee beastie in the room calling to its mate. And Council Watch hastens to assure readers that it was not a natural human sound – in fact, it was a creaking chair. A councillor who shall remain nameless was gently rocking as proceedings proceeded, probably accustomed to a rocking chair by the fireside, causing the rather fancy council seat’s torque spring to protest. A neighbouring councillor, becoming aware of the sound and its source, silently left the chamber and returned with a pressurised can, possibly containing a lubricant, which he applied to various parts of the offending chair’s undercarriage. Alas, to no effect. But then arose a quiet chorus as several other councillors of a boyish disposition joined in. CW was located on an unrockable seat in the gallery, or the urge to participate might have been irresistible. The creaky councillor finally swapped his delinquent chair for another. Problem solved. But this was not the only noise issue of the evening. Before getting to this event, CW will detour via Crib Point, where 200 small shire projects have been completed – a lick of paint, renovations, new street furniture and the like – at the admirably low cost of $50,000 under a “Placemaking” scheme. Cerberus Ward councillor David Garnock described it as a “brilliant initiative” for his parish. The shire “does
stuff anyway” but works that trickle out are not noticed, he said. Crib Point residents were thrilled with the newly painted signs, “activation” of empty shops as “art spaces” and general freshening-up of the township. Shire officers described it as a “lighter, quicker, cheaper” approach that put no additional strain on the shire budget, falling as it does under the heading of maintenance. A further $350,000 was available for such projects, councillors were told, and further placemaking was contemplated across the shire. The next agenda item listed contracts approved under delegation by CEO Carl Cowie. CW may not have noticed such an agenda item previously, innumerate as he is, but as an example of transparency it was gratifying. Contracts included demolition of the old Red Hill sports pavilion (cost: $43,181.42) by Chadwick Demolition, and refurbishment of the shire’s mobile library trailer (cost: $193,053.40) by JCS Fabrications. Former sporting combatants who scored a ton or booted a bag at Red Hill’s sloping oval might like a memento of the old pavilion, possibly available at Chadwick’s Rosebud yard. To ease the strain on his cheque-signing arm, Mr Cowie can sub-delegate works approvals to selected officers. Managers can give a tick to jobs up to $100,000; directors can OK spending in various areas up to $200,000. Now, back to noise. A short, lively uproar erupted during voting on the
delegation item. Cr Anne Shaw, making a point in debate about information presented to councillors in officers’ reports, interrupted herself to say: “...it’s actually rude to talk while other people are debating.” This sparked a hubbub in which the words “...a private conversation...” were heard. Cr Fraser raised a point of order but was drowned out. Cr Shaw, aggrieved: “Why bother – why bother debating? Why bother when you’ve got people...” Cr Pittock, chairing the meeting: “We have a point of order, please.” Cr Fraser: “May I inquire through the chair ... if there’s a parliamentary rule of practice or procedure [that deals with] what Cr Shaw is complaining of?” Joe Spiteri, the new governance manager, responded: “My view is that there’s scope to have conversations if they’re respectful and not impeding the speaker at the time, then that’s perfectly normal for that to take place.” Cr Pittock upheld the point of order then asked Cr Shaw to resume debate. Cr Shaw: “No, I wouldn’t bother wasting my breath.” CW agrees broadly with Cr Shaw’s point that council meetings should proceed one speaker at a time. Council meeting rooms are rather smaller than parliamentary chambers and even quiet conversations may put off a speaker. Perhaps whispers or handwritten notes should be encouraged. CW was once ticked off by then mayor Antonella Celi for a sotto voce conversation in the gallery that demonstrated she has the aural acuity of a kookaburra listening for lizards.
Police honour: The Ty-Eyre plaque stolen in the raid was awarded to Lloyd Smith for helping police investigate the brutal slaying of two young constables.

Plaque and files stolen A PLAQUE awarded by Victoria Police to a Mt Martha man for helping with the 1988 Ty-Eyre Task Force was stolen in an overnight raid on Sunday 2 August. The task force had been set up to investigate the ambush and shooting deaths of Steven Tynan and Damian Eyre in South Yarra in October of that year – an investigation that, at its height, involved hundreds of officers. The 25cm plaque was one of many items stolen, including personal and business papers, bank PINs and statements, keepsakes including the man’s first tax return from 1950, cards and mementoes of his 40 years at the National Australia Bank where he rose to be deputy chief executive, his wife’s medical files, and personal and financial details of the estates of family members.
Lloyd Smith, 84, said he and his wife, slept through the 3am raid and heard nothing. Mornington police believe the thieves broke into the garage of the house in Glynt Gardens estate, off Bay Rd, where they also stole golf clubs, electrical tools, $40 in coins, garage door remote control, and torch. Entering through the laundry and into the kitchen with a plastic container they rifled the man’s wallet and his wife’s purse stealing cash and credit cards and two mobile phones. Also taken were the military records of four uncles who served in World War I about whom the man is writing a family history. Mr Smith, who has lived in Mt Martha for 23 years, said he believed the burglars had earlier been unable to break in to his neighbour’s house with a jemmy bar.

LETTERS Gondola not needed A glary glitzy gondola in rare remnant bushland: forgive us, future generations, for we know not what we do. In July, 2015 we are appalled by TV images of a wealthy American paying the equivalent of an African family’s generational budget in order to satisfy his lust to kill an African lion king and yet, at the same time, our Australian community is ambivalent about the destruction of a remnant of natural heritage bushland in order that a wealthy Australian may profit . The lion king could have assumed himself safe in a protected national park. We assumed our natural heritage forest, and its indigenous fauna, were safe in a protected state park. Not so, in either case. The justifications for the development of a European-style gondola up the face of the Mornington Peninsula’s Arthur’s Seat are many, varied and tenuous: Merely a replacement for the outdated, old chairlift; good for tourism; will create jobs; accessible for disabled visitors. These four points can be questioned as follows. A replacement already exists – a free, all weather road with excellent, safe, free viewing points. The old chair lift route is already regenerating naturally and restoring an uninterrupted forested slope. Tourism is at capacity. Peninsula Link is gridlocked at times during summer, car parking is impossible from Mt Martha to Portsea and from Red Hill to Flinders at peak times. The proposed Skylift development does propose massive new car parks (paved and floodlit) but we must sacrifice swathes of natural landscape. High value tourism in the future will not be about airconditioned, passive riding, eating and drinking … that is every day working life. Job creation is the mantra of all would-be developers. Construction jobs are very temporary (this one slated for less than a year). It seems that the gondola, on its own, would not be profitable so it is the lower station cafe and the upper station’s licenced, late night restaurant which will provide viability and those much- vaunted
jobs. As there are so many existing dining establishments in the area, more competition will inevitably lead to closures and job losses. Quite conceivably, no increase in the total jobs across the area. Arthur’s Seat Rd already provides free, disabled access to the summit. One vital question remains unanswered: The fire risk. There has been no input from the local CFA teams who possess site specific knowledge built up over generations. Figures produced by the developer quote passenger numbers to be carried per rotation and the speed at which the gondola could return them to base in the event of an emergency but take no account of the numbers which will accumulate at the restaurant, bar, picnic areas and at the neighbouring adventure garden complex. The report produced by the highly qualified scientist, Dr Janet Stanley seems not to have been addressed by either Mornington Peninsula Shire or by VCAT. Her conclusion is that the risks are overwhelming and no responsible community should accept them. Why did the council support the proposal? Observations at council meetings revealed nods, winks and body language. There have been three definitive meetings over the past year which appear to have been timed to coincide with the absence of representatives from Dromana and Red Hill wards, those directly impacted by the development. Unlike state or federal government bodies, local government has no system of “pairs”. In each case, the motion was carried by a single vote. The question remaining is for the Australian community. Do we value our remaining natural heritage enough to strengthen the laws relating to national and state parks so that they are never for sale to private individuals for private gain? The 50-year lease in this case is “commercial in confidence” so we, the custodians of Arthur’s Seat Park, cannot discover the price for which our land has been sold. Our birthright for a “mess of pottage” perhaps or, in modern parlance, a messed up natural asset. Rosalie White, Red Hill
Point planning In attacking the Victorian National Parks Association’s campaign to protect Point Nepean from excessive development, Peter Curtin (“Point misunderstood”, Letters 3/8/15) is the one who has failed to understand recent Point Nepean history. In his letter, Mr Curtin claims the VNPA’s influence has led state Environment Minister Lisa Neville to “waste million [sic] of public money by terminating a Crown lease over the Point Nepean National Park”. Mr Curtin conveniently forgets to mention that any claim for compensation by the property developer, Point Leisure Group (PLG), has been made possible by a clause in the lease signed by the previous Napthine government just hours before the election caretaker period. The clause effectively said that if certain planning changes were not in place by 1 July 2015, then the lease would lapse and compensation of up to $1million could be sought. As we now all know, those planning changes, an amendment to the 2009 park management plan to allow the destruction of threatened moonah woodland to build boardwalks and rock pools, and a special use zone in the shire’s planning scheme that would allow subdivision, were not completed and should never have been countenanced. When claiming that the VNPA was wrong when it said that public access to the Quarantine Station would be restricted under the property developer’s concept plan, Mr Curtin confuses entry to the Point Nepean National Park, which is free to all, with access to the proposed luxury spa and wellness facilities in the Quarantine Station and moonah woodland, which would only be available to those who could afford it. This restriction of access was only one of many deep-felt concerns that VNPA and others in the community had about the property developer’s proposals. One thing Mr Curtin is right about though is VNPA’s concerns about commercial development in Victoria’s national parks. The previous government used Point Nepean as a test case in

its bid to expose our conservation estate to major commercial developments. VNPA believes that the natural and cultural heritage in national parks needs protection, and that view is shared by the majority of Victorians, as an Essential Research poll from last year shows. It is Mr Curtin who holds antiquated views, not VNPA, and, contrary to what he suggests, the new environment minister has a mind of her own when it comes to protecting Point Nepean. In the same issue of the The News (“State slammed over Point Nepean inaction”), Cr Tim Rodgers is talking up the idea of “a new township for the community, Nepean township at the Point Nepean Quarantine Station”. Perhaps that was the intention of the shire planning scheme’s special use zone proposed for the Quarantine Station, which would have allowed subdivision and maybe a “new township”. Cr Rodgers is also quoted as saying that there are “75 buildings in the precinct needed to be brought up to 21st century standard and used rather than left empty”. He has not kept up to date with what has happened with regards to the buildings and structures in the Quarantine Station. Six of them are in the Police Point Shire Park being renovated for use by artists in residence and for respite. In all, 18 have been removed by the former community trust and Parks Victoria. It could be argued that another eight, with little heritage value and constructed during the Army’s occupation, could also be removed. That brings the number in need of use down to a little over 40 buildings. Of those, there are currently around 11 in use including three for weddings, reception and community events, two for information and administration, one as a new toilet block, another converted into an arrivals information display, and four as museum and interpretive displays. These buildings are clearly not “empty”. Included in the remainder are the 11 influenza huts built during the flu epidemic of 1918 and 1919, which could be easily converted to budget camping accommodation for school and community groups. Another eight, including the shower blocks and the passenger waiting room, could be used for a major interactive museum and

interpretive display showing how the Quarantine Station worked. That doesn’t leave very many for which we need to find uses that recognise their 19th century origins and make the best of their current state, rather than being gutted to create the flashy artifice of Cr Rodgers’ “21st century standards�. This would involve minimal changes to building interiors and a lesser need for capital investment. When claiming that there had been “10 years of mucking around�, Cr Rodgers has forgotten that the Quarantine Station land only came back to Victoria in 2009, that the national park management plan was finalised in that same year, and a master plan drafted in 2010. The “mucking around� actually began with the change of government, the sidelining of Parks Victoria by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries in the park planning process, and the plans by the Coalition government to facilitate major commercial developments within national parks. Of course, funds will be required to turn the Quarantine Station into a lively place that includes activities in education, tourism, art, research and conservation. Some of that money will need to come from government, but investment will also be needed from philanthropic, community, education and tourism organisations. In this way there will be a diversity of use with the best interests of Point Nepean National Park at heart. VNPA will work to ensure that happens. Chris Smyth, acting executive director Victorian National Parks Association
Avoid disappointment Comments from Peter Curtin of Sorrento (“Point misunderstood�, Letters 4/8/15) highlight the potential futility of going forward with a revision of the 2010 master plan and a possible further project procurement process, which may again leave the local community both disappointed and frustrated at the lack of action in restoring and preserving Point Nepean. On the one hand, we have a state government that allegedly is not against private investment in national parks, whereas the policy position of the Victorian National Parks Association is that
it is fundamentally against private developments of any substance (perhaps nothing more than a kiosk?) in national parks. If the state government seriously thinks that the private sector will commit time, resources and funds to participate in another public tender process for Point Nepean while any uncertainty remains as to the role or attitude of the VNPA in that process, then they would be unquestionably misguided. A robust process only occurs when a government provides proponents with absolute clarity and certainty. Any doubts or uncertainty as to any aspect of the process will lead to poor participation and a potentially flawed outcome or no result. Given the VNPA's strategic position concerning Point Nepean, its role and influence in the tender process must be clearly stated. If the government expects that the selected private sector proponent will assume the similar responsibilities and risks as to park maintenance and repairs as well as to the restoration of the Quarantine Station that Point Leisure Group had contractually obligated to deliver, then it is inconceivable that a lesser scope of development to what PLG proposed could possibly deliver such an outcome. If the government was to remove these obligations from the preferred proponent, it then begs the question: why are you going through the master plan revision and potentially another tender process if you are not receiving any direct reduction in the level of public funding in the upkeep and restoration of the Point Nepean National Park or direct stimulus to the local community?" So before the state government attempts to build community expectations once again through another expensive master plan process, perhaps it could tell us all exactly what the VNPA is prepared to accept by way of private development, so as we don't end up with another "tail wagging the dog" outcome that determined the fate of the Point Leisure Group project. Stuart Allen, Dromana
Jobs to go ‘uptown’ Up to 470 jobs will be created during the con-
struction phase of the Peninsula’s biggest project this side of Frankston - the RACV resort, Cape Schanck – at least according to council officers and councillors. That may be true, but I’ve got news for them – those jobs are not l likely to come to peninsula residents. A developer friend has told me that the tender documentation has gone out to high-end tier 2 construction companies in the big smoke, as one would expect for a $135 million build and fit out. But guess what, all of these companies and their sub-contractors have their own workforces already in place. They won’t be looking for locals. And before anyone suggests it’s too far for uptown people to travel down here every day to work, they did for the RACV Torquay development. Just ask the successful tenderer for that construction job. Oh wait, they won’t want to answer because they have been invited to tender for the Cape Schanck job too. Irene Wyld, Cape Schanck
Residents ignored The shire council’s 13 July decision to approve the RACV Cape Schanck resort development, with its seven-storey, 30-metre high, 120-room complex, disappointed the 82 per cent of Cape Schanck residents who were against it. Nine residents representing more than 400 people spoke against what will be the highest building south of Frankston. Surprisingly, the council discounted the Victorian Design Review Panel (Office of the Victorian Government Architect) report that asked the RACV to consider excavating deeper to lower the height of the building. The council meeting heard that the resort would attract conferences and help peninsula tourism to be “open for business� all year rather than just in summer, but residents argued that lowering the building height would still achieve this goal. It was only after the meeting heard from Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board chairman Tracey Cooper, before councillors voted on the proposal, that I started to join the dots.
The council’s delegates on the tourism board are councillors Antonella Celi and Tim Wood (who was absent on the night of the vote) and the substitute representatives are Anne Shaw and David Garnock. The motion to approve the RACV development was moved by Cr Celi and seconded by Cr Shaw. For the resort were Crs Celi, Shaw, Garnock and David Gibb. In trying to understand the council’s decision, I see a connection between those proposing and voting for the decision and Ms Cooper together with Cape Schanck Resort manager Conleth Roche, with all having worked together on the regional tourism board. So we have a situation where the council contributes to the funding of the tourism board, provides councillors as delegates, and the only two councillors to speak for the $135 million development were tourism board members. Also, the RACV sponsors the 2015 Victorian Tourism Awards, which are of benefit to the regional tourism board. This leads to a question we all understand: Does it pass the “sniff� test? Ian Renwick, Cape Schanck
Cancellation anger Domenico de Clario’s cancellation of a (free) public performance planned for Friday 31 July at Pier St, Dromana was a shock. Apparently an anonymous complaint was made to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council about the music and fluoro lights appearing in an empty shop at night. What a pity that an important artist and teacher of Professor de Clario’s international reputation has been treated so dismissively by our council for disturbing this quiet village in mid-winter. His thoughtful displays and nostalgic musical performances presented various installations, poems, drawings and nostalgic music since the equinox in May, at no cost to this community. One wonders who else enjoyed these totally unadvertised artworks that just appeared in Dromana? I am really annoyed that I missed out on the final, full moon presentation. Continued Page 16

LETTERS In October, Domenico de Clario will feature at Mildura’s latest biennial arts festival Palimpsest. It is worth Googling his name to see all the strange and enriching artworks created by him at Dromana and elsewhere. Tom McCullough, Mt Martha
Liberal airing It must truly be a rarified atmosphere in Mt Martha, a wealthy and privileged area (“Liberal support”, Letters 4/8/15). There is a reason why few support the Liberal Party on any issue. The electorate is fed daily a pile of ignorant and untrue information by the Liberal Party, the party of the 20th century, and some would say even the 19th.The majority of right thinking people have not been sucked in. Between 2000 and 2007, 363 asylum seekers died at sea on their way to Australia. Between 2008 and July 2013 (under Labor) 877 asylum seekers died. This tragedy has occurred under both political parties, and this is not an opinion, it is a fact. There has to be a better way. So far, under both Liberal and Labor governments, politicians are in a race to the bottom about how we treat asylum seekers. Contrary to Michael Free’s statement that no boats this year have been sighted, on 19 July an asylum seeker boat was spotted off the coast of Western Australia. We have since learnt that the asylum seekers were removed from the boat by the government and smuggled under cover of darkness back to Sri Lanka. So the boats have not stopped. As for jumping the queue, how can asylum seekers do this when they are incarcerated in offshore concentration camps where brutality, mental illness and child abuse is rife, as [Human Rights Commission president] Gillian Triggs rightly pointed out, and got crucified for her efforts. Mr Free’s argument about coal being cheaper than wind is just plain wrong. Australia has been left with a limp excuse for an emissions reduction fund and an emasculated RET, courtesy of [Prime Minister Tony] Abbott, and the coal industry lobbyists. These are the same lobbyists who have successfully denied the people of
Australia a greener future since the politicians spurned Kyoto in favour of Australia's self-interests over the interests of the global community. Australia is now paying a price. Our industries and population are suffering the high price of coal-fuelled energy and the resultant impacts on health, wellbeing and income because of timid management that has sold out to the government. Even the CSIRO, the leader in innovation in this country has gone offshore. A study by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, shows that electricity can be supplied from a new wind farm at a cost of $80 a megawatt hour, compared to $143 a megawatt hour from a new coal plant. The study also shows that since 2011, the cost of wind energy has fallen by 10 per cent and the cost of solar by 29 per cent. In contrast, the cost of fossil fuel energy from new plants is high and rising. Currently, the average householder pays double for electricity. Once, in taxpayer subsidies to prop up the coal burners, and twice when they use the electricity. In his letter, Mr Free has made several untrue and inaccurate claims, including whether the The News is truly independent. However, perhaps he is correct when he states that an empty vessel makes the most noise, as time and time again, the Abbott government has proved that statement. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West
Distrust explained I can understand the lack of support for the Abbott Liberal government as it is as dysfunctional as was the Rudd/Gillard government. As for the current MP for Flinders and Environment Minister Greg Hunt, he was in favour of an emissions trading scheme but is now paying polluters. Also, I am still awaiting the $550 credit on my electricity bill which is still going up and there is no carbon tax. Mr Abbott was waving his Our Plan during the election campaign but it is now mostly rescinded. We have Mr Abbott [Treasurer Joe] Hockey against wind farms. I suggest they take a trip to Moe and Yallourn to see real pollution and eye sores. Both Liberal and Labor party supporters and
their parliamentarians wonder why the minority parties and independents are gaining power. They need to get on with the job, stop point scoring and have policies that relate to going forward for the good of Australia and not for those who influence them with donations or funding. John Sutton, Tootgarook
They say that the older you get the more conservative you become. Fortunately Michael, some of us "dodged the bullet" and are still independent thinkers. You have quoted an old saying that "an empty vessel makes the most noise" and you have displayed that quite competently! John Cain, McCrae
Do-nothing Liberals
Shire shake-up
In reply to Michael Free (“Liberal support”, Letters 4/8/15)): No Michael, you're still in Liberal territory. I'm sure that if your side does anything of note it will get mentioned in this fiercely independent newspaper. However, the Libs tend not to do anything that is newsworthy in a safe seat. Let’s face facts, there's not much talent to play with. The treasurer is still on training wheels, there's a pretend environment minister and let’s not forget the lady that has a penchant for limousines and helicopters. Surely as a resident of 60 years you would remember the indiscretion of the federal MP back in the 1980s that resulted in Labor victories both federal and state for one term. The Labor MPs were Bob Chynoweth (federal) and David Hassett (state). Both positions went back to your side after one term because a store dummy could win down here provided they had Liberal membership. You mention that there has not been one boat this year. How would we know? "Smiler"Dutton, the Minister for Immigration, will not discuss "operational matters”. Just a couple of weeks ago, a boatload of Vietnamese arrived off our coast and mysteriously disappeared. The Abbott government has stripped $80 million from the health and education budget. You appear to be reading chapter and verse from the book according to Andrew Bolt on climate change and coal power versus renewable energy to come up with these figures. Remember the GFC Michael? Under both the Rudd and Gillard governments, Australia was the envy of the world. We were saved the hardship that the world experienced because we had a treasurer who was an accountant and knew what he was doing.
In regard to the article detailing the organisational shake-up of the Mornington Peninsula Shire (“CEO details shire shake-up, jobs”, The News 28/8/15) I was very interested in the details directed to forming a building and facilities unit. I would hope that this new body would investigate the proposed plan for a new education/information centre to be built on the foreshore camping area at Cameron's Bight. Why would there be a need to build a new facility when there is a education/information centre in the adjacent area? This existing facility has all the records of the history of this area, this centre is only open on 1pm-4pm Wednesdays and Sundays during school holidays. Surely the money that would have to be allocated for this structure should be directed to a number of far more pressing needs in the area. The White Cliffs beach area is being completely eroded away, the groyne that has saved this beach in the past has been almost destroyed and needs to be replaced to help prevent any further erosion. The missing link in the bike/footpath needs to be addressed to make it safe for the many young families that live and visit the peninsula. There is a need for footpath along Nepean Highway between Minnimurra and Canterbury Jetty roadd to join up to the path at Blairgowrie. Ttoilet blocks in the two separate parking areas at Tyrone Foreshore in the Flinders Street area are a disgrace and need to be replaced. I hope that this new body will consider these options and that our rates will deliver efficient and enhanced services to the community and put a hault to the waste in the duplicating of existing facilities that are not used to their full potential .

6 BENEFITS TO SELLING YOUR HOME IN WINTER 1. 2.
Less competition. Fewer properties on the market drives up demand amongst buyers.
3.
There are plenty of buyers out there. The things that lead people to buying a new home - a growing family, a new job, upsizing or downsizing- happen all year round.
4.
If you wait until spring, there will be a lot more properties on the market, which means more choice for buyers & they may take more time putting in an offer.
5.
Buyers in winter are real serious buyers! Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just lookingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out with a buyer in the winter chill, you know that they are motivated to buy.
6.
Buying a new home in winter is a mindset- they want a place to call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the Spring and Summer season.
Take advantage of the winter chill to make your home stand out as warm & cosy. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like stepping in from the cold into a warm, comfortable home.
VIEWS, GLORIOUS VIEWS Striking, ultra-modern 2-storey home on elevated block with spectacular bay views.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Patriotic fund reaches record total Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE seventh list of contributions to the Frankston Patriotic Fund is published in another column. It has now reached the respectable total of £268 7s. This amount is quite independent and apart from the very considerable contributions of money, material, and work afforded to the Australian Red Cross Society. The list we publish this week includes a handsome second contribution of £19 4s 3d from the Frankston Ladies’ Collecting Committee. Of this sum £10 was realized by a raffle of a quilt by the Frankston storekeepers. *** IT will be seen from an advertisement in another column that a 4th presentation will be made, on Monday, August 23rd, at the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, to volunteers for the front, drawn from Frankston and the immediate district. We understand that no less than 27 names of recently enlisted volunteers have already been recorded as entitled to presentations. As the sum in the hands of the Treasurer and the proceeds of the entertainment will not meet the necessary expenses, donations to defray the extra expenditure will be most thankfully received by the Hon. Sec. (Dr Plowman). He also desires that friends of any recently enrolled recruits will send to him the names of the latter, together with their exact company addresses. If this is done, his work will be much facilitated.
*** THE contest for the premiership of the Peninsula Football Association was advanced another stage on Saturday at Frankston, when teams representing the Guards and Hastings met in the final, and as in the semi-finals, another keenly contested game resulted, the Guards winning by the narrow margin of one point. A number of spectators, together with the Hastings players, declared that the match was a draw as in the concluding quarter a point was awarded to the Guards about which there was considerable discussion. There was a good deal of crowded play about the Guards goal towards the close of the game, and the ball either went out bounds close to the behind post or it went between the behind and goal post. The boundary umpire waved his flag, it is asserted, signifying that the ball went out of bounds, and at the same time the goal umpire waved one flag indicating that a behind had been scored by the Guards, who by getting the benefit of the particular point won the match. The Guards as usual put a representative team on the field, while Hastings experienced some difficulty in mustering the full complement, and it was not until the last quarter started that their eighteenth man took the field. Hastings have been premiers of the Peninsula Association for many years past, and have any number of premiership pennants to their credit, but this year they have not been as strong as in
past seasons. They were just getting their team together towards the close and gave a good account of themselves against their opponents in the last two matches. Owing to a number of the Hastings players having recently enlisted the team was very short-handed on Saturday, and little hope was held out of securing a win over the Guards. However they put up a great game and gave the soldiers no end of trouble to accomplish a victory. Boyle had charge of the teams, and on play commencing the Guards soon established a lead by registering a couple of goals. Hastings were on the forward line and did not give a very good account of themselves in the opening term; in which the guards scored 3 2 to Hastings 0 3, the latter playing well together, and helped considerably by good play from Carmichael, Francis, Floyd Bros, Kimberly, Emery, and others put their opponents on their mettle in the second and third quarters and the Guards found they were not going to have such an easy task as appeared in the opening term, and on commencing the last quarter the scores were- Guards 5 4; Hastings 4 8; Another goal to Hastings put them in the lead, but the Guards finishing strongly gradually overhauled the leaders, and a few minor points in succession gave them the advantage by one, the final result being: Guards 5 goals 9 behinds, Hastings 5 goals 8 behinds. A protest was entered by Hastings on the ground that the Guards’ team
included 3 ineligible players and also that a behind was claimed that was given an ‘out of bounds’ by the boundary umpire. The Association met on Thursday evening, and after hearing the evidence it was decided unanimously that Hastings had failed to establish a case, and awarded the match to the Guards. *** THE first installment of finished articles has been despatched this week to the Central Red Cross Depot. The list of articles is as follows:—43 shirts, 7 undershirts, 10 pyjama suits, 3 pyjama pants, 50 pairs socks, 50 pillow cases, 70 towels, 20 handkerchiefs, 32 face washers, 12 ditty bags, 12 milk jug covers, 5 mufflers, 2 pairs mufflers, 2 pairs cuffs, 3 pairs slippers, and a woollen helmet. A great deal of work is still out, and the committee would be glad to receive it as soon as possible, in order to send another installment next week. *** IN our advertising columns will be found notice of the Somerville Fancy Fair in aid of the Australian Wounded Fund. The Fair will be officially opened by the Hon J. E. Mackey M.L.A. at 3 o’clock on the afternoon of Friday, Aug 20th. Sir Wm Irvine and Mr A. Downward Ms. L A. have also been asked to speak at the opening, but as these gentlemen are very busy over war matters the Club cannot say definitely that they will be there. Residents of Somerville and district are cordially invited to the opening
ceremony. Admission free to all each afternoon. The Fair is a novelty in the district as regards goods for sale and the costumes of the Allies and Dominions, as well as Red Cross nurses, which will be worn by stall holders should prove one of the many attractions. The Fair will be open on Aug 20th and 21st afternoon and evening. A special programme has been arranged for a promenade concert each evening for which the charge of a shilling will be made. Change of programme each evening. *** PERMISSION has been granted to the Rev A. J. Thomson, Somerville to hold religious services in connection with the Church of England at the school here. *** A young married couple (Mr and Mrs Sinclair) lately out from Cheshire England have purchased Mr Blicks property here. It is Mr Blicks intention to reside at Sale, Gippsland. *** A meeting of parents is announced to take place at the school on the evening of Aug. 17th for the purpose of nominating persons to fill vacancies on the committee. Mr C. W. Murray who has acted on the committee for the last six years and during the last four has filled the duties of correspondent very successfully and diligently is leaving the district shortly.

A major breakthrough for pain, injury and arthritis One of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, is excelling in the areas of musculoskeletal medicine and tissue regeneration. Utilising the latest medical research and natural treatments, the clinics are able to help heal injuries and assist degenerative concerns such as arthritis. This means that many of the foot and leg pain and mobility concerns that usually result in long periods of medication and/or surgery, could be a thing of the past. Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics Mt. Eliza practice says, “We’ve had some outstanding results assisting; pain and mobility concerns, arthritis, soft tissue injuries and degeneration with regenerative injection therapies such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and Prolotherapy (Proliferation of new tissue injection therapy). We’ve assisted athletes return to professional sport, relieved pain in people who’ve suffered for years, promoted healing and increased mobility in people who’ve been told that nothing can be done for them and assisted others to avoid surgery.” Similar in action, both treatments encourage the body’s natural healing mechanisms and promote the development of new collagen. PRP utilizes components of your own blood, whilst Prolo-

therapy consists of a glucose and anesthetic solution. Results include; increased joint, ligament, and tendon stability; enhanced muscle and cartilage repair; pain relief and increased mobility. Both treatments are also natural, non-toxic, minimally invasive and relatively fast acting. “Combine these treatments with correct diagnosis, addressing structural issues and faulty biomechanics and the results can be outstanding and long-term”.

A Grain of Salt SOME things come and others go, in due course. Bronwyn Bishop obviously and James Hird seemingly forever. Then there’s the Adam Goodes booing, raising it all to a new level. You’re either with him or against him and God help you if you’re against in any shape or form, thus automatically achieving racist status. Waleed Aly, Caroline Wilson, Gerard Wakeley, Martin Flanagan and others roving the castle grounds, looking to put down any stray dogs with their high-powered words. Like the cost of cigarettes (and James Hird) it will not stop there; contrary thoughts whispered only down darkened laneways. I restrict my booing to dirty footballers and anti-Collingwood umpires in the comfort of my home. Millionaire Adam Goodes is not a dirty footballer. His comments as Australian of the Year were reasonable, but apparently caused a mild stir with the 40,000 years stuff. His highlighting of the 13-year-old girl added momentum, helped considerably by the media. Apparently the girl called him “an ape”, a common quip against opposition players with or without beards but ignored by the media in the never ending search for an angle, racism, and not helped by Adam’s concurrence. His eventual obvious reluctant acceptance of Eddie McGuire’s apology for a stupid slip of the tongue was further highlighted by the media to the point where some rank and file football followers thought (to use a typical Aussie phrase) he was “up himself”. The fires well fanned, with the insignificant supposed staging for a free kick (done

A degree of racism yes, some 99.99 per cent of people are racist, it being a question of that degree. “In football everything is complicated by the presence of the other side” [J P Sartre]. *** We move gladly into August and the afterglow of Billy Boy’s socking it to them at the ALP conference. Was his political switch to adopt the Liberal’s “turn back the boats” common sense, a policy ignoring social and ethical responsibility as it did under Rudd and Gillard? Billy explained he could not take a policy to the next election that could contribute to drownings at sea? Leaving aside the probability if they cannot come here they will take bigger risks heading for other countries, the harsh reality is the majority of voters do not want those sad boat people, so not to take this action would result in near certain electoral defeat. Ugly, calculating, even heartless, but to be a Prime Minister surely the key word is pragmatic. Never forgetting the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance still has a trick or two up its blessed biased sleeves to summon Billy back sometime mid-2016. One or two more uplifting policies and in with a chance. Well, maybe half a chance. *** There’s “compelling research” living alone can be pretty “great” for you. “I think the biggest perk of living alone is the space and freedom to get to know who you really are”.

hidden gnomes carrying out research on anything/everything. I’ve lived alone for 11 years, my only visitor being the fortnightly council homecare lady. There are pluses; the remote control, always agreeing with myself? Maybe going to the RSL whenever I please, listen to my favourite song. (Peggy Lee’s 1969 classic Is That All There Is?) my favourite book; 1984? All to extend the breadth of my world combined with the pleasure of getting to know myself. What if “getting to know myself” disclosed nothing more than a boring old fart? Compelling research? Why compelling? Another of those “mature dialogue” phrases? *** The Sunday Age tells of new sleep pods in the big city, a 20 to 40 minute nap daytimes for stressed business types. A quote from a sleep expert (whatever that is?): “a brief nap can improve your alertness”. Fair enough, but the writer added “There is growing evidence that a lack of sleep has a role in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer”. Growing evidence? Nonsense ad infinitum. *** What became of the “coast and climate learning centre idea? Ditto the “one-stop shops” for aged care services allowing people to seamlessly move from basic help at home to residential aged care services, and after hours GP services? Ditto Jesuit priest Frank Brennan’s appointment to examine our need for a Bill of Rights? Gone with the wind? ***
By Cliff Ellen Big business gives money to Billy Shorten’s union. Big business gives the Labor Party money, and the Liberal Party money. Sometimes big business will give both parties money; a bit each way so to speak, the overriding obvious reason being “in their interest”. So why Leigh Sales should spend 15 minutes questioning Billy Boy as to what big business expected in return for their money is beyond me. The question is best directed to the givers? *** I wish?

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The sorry tale of an arty latte By Stuart McCullough THERE’S no doubt that if Michelangelo were alive today, he wouldn’t be flushing his time down the artistic lavatory by perching on a rickety ladder that would give the folks at WorkCover a conniption and splashing a tub of Taubman’s satin gloss on the roof of the Sistine Chapel. No way. If Michelangelo were alive now he’d be a barista. Worse still, he’d be dressed head to toe in black, have his hair in a man bun with a pencil wedged as tightly as William Tell’s arrow in the apple and would be expressing himself through coffee foam. I get it, truly I do. It’s art, right? And I appreciate that people should be able to express themselves through art because, after all, art enlivens the soul and generally makes us all better and more complete human beings. It is art that inspires us and differentiates us from any other creature that inhabits this big old globe we call Earth. I accede all of this without hesitation and yet, despite my unquestioning acceptance of the enduring power and beauty of all things arty, when all’s said and done, it’s just a pattern on the top of a cup of coffee. It’s called ‘latte art’, whereby the person making your coffee creates a pattern on top of your drink. Rather than using a brush, the picture is created when the steamed milk is poured into the espresso and then manipulating the foam to create an image. Popular latte art examples include ‘the love heart’, ‘the tulip’, ‘the leaf’ and ‘the Rosetta’. None of these make the coffee taste any better; it’s purely an
aesthetic thing. But it’s notoriously tricky to do owing to the sheer unpredictability of the milk and espresso. I think it speaks volumes that art is no longer something we hang on walls but something we consume after shelling out three dollars fifty. We had decided to go out for break-
fast. It’s not something we do especially often, but I’d argued that we really should get out and explore the neighbourhood. The idea is that we visit a different café each time we go out. The more places we try, the more it becomes obvious how complex something like breakfast has become.
Did you know... you can view our papers online
It’s no longer a matter of bacon and eggs with some grilled tomato on the side but an avalanche of confit, jus and various objects braised within an inch of their lives. In fact, it’s hard not to get the impression that we might just be trying too hard. Whereas once a bowl of rice bubbles and a piece of toast was a meal fit for royalty, we’re reluctant to get out of bed for any meal that can’t be described as a haiku. We are, quite frankly, getting a touch carried away. It began as café breakfasts always do. My wife and I were asked whether we wanted tea or coffee to start. Without hesitation, I ordered a flat white. I’m not sure why I chose a ‘flat white’ instead of any one of the dozen other options, but it’s the coffee that I most identify with. It sounds modest and sensible and could, in fact, be a description that applies equally to me, the drinker, as to the drink itself. But everything I ever believed about flat whites was suddenly upended when the drink arrived. The waiter plonked it down in front of me without explanation. There, staring out of my coffee, was a piece of latte art that had either gone horribly wrong or terribly, terribly right. I’m not sure how to put this without offending someone. In delicately pouring the milk and manipulating the micro foam, the barista had succeeded in creating and picture that Baldrick from Blackadder might describe as a ‘rude and amusing shape’. It goes without saying: this was not what I had ordered. Had it been up to me, I would have asked for a unicorn (my standard order), Che Guevara or Papa
Smurf but not this affront to all things wholesome and decent. Not over breakfast, at any rate. Suddenly, my choice of seating became crucial. As husbands are want to do, I had sacrificed the comfy seat against the wall and, as a result, my back was turned to the coffee machine. I’d seen it when we’d entered – a gleaming tangle of metal pipes that could just as easily be part of a Chevrolet’s engine – but I’d paid no attention at all to who was making the coffee. Now, however, I was afraid to turn around to see just who was responsible for the phallic foam on top of my coffee. Was the barista making fun of me? Or did they simply like the cut of my jib? Instantly, I regretted wearing a jib instead of jeans as my wife had suggested. The more I thought about it, the less likely I was to turn around. My wife, who had wisely ordered tea, found the entire experience hilarious. Had I the nerve to turn my chair, I wouldn’t have been a bit surprised to see Robert Mapplethorpe, dressed in black with a man bun, hunkered down over the milk steamer. Then there’s the real issue: where do you start drinking? Lucky for me, I take sugar. After adding in a half tea spoon and a whole half hour of vigorous stirring, the image finally vanished. As we were paying the bill, the waiter asked whether we wanted to leave a tip. ‘Don’t draw obscene images on top of people’s coffee’, I answered. He looked puzzled. Now he knows how I feel. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

BESTO MONDO By Melissa Walsh
Ross and the original line-up of Mondo Rock will be back this year to take the stage by storm again on Saturday 22 August at The Palais.
and all of us guys have been still full time musicians so it’s just fine tuning,” says Wilson. “Even though I perform some of the songs with my own band, when the original band get together there’s something different about it. It has that extra glue or power that gives the songs more weight.”
Off the back of rave reviews and sold out shows across the country last year, the iconic Australian rock band have announced a select season of theatre shows, with the original line up for their Besto Mondo Tour.
Mondo Rock will be hitting the road with the classic line-up – Ross Wilson, Eric McCusker, James Black, Paul Christie and Gil Matthews reuniting once again – and the lads cannot wait.
“It was great to get together with the guys again last year and we’re rehearsing at the moment for the Besto Mondo Tour,” says Wilson, who has just returned from holidays and is ready to rock. “Last year some of the songs on the Chemistry album I hadn’t sung in years and you tend to go back into the headspace of where you were those years ago.”
Finding fame and fortune with Daddy Cool in the early 70s, Wilson says he realised after the band dispersed how hard it had been to handle that kind of notoriety.
When you’ve been in the music industry as long as Ross Wilson, doing a gig like The Besto Mondo Tour is more like fun than hard work.
Wilson says this year they will be concentrating on songs from the best of collection.
“I kind of realized I was a bit nuts at the time. First of all you go around and the spotlight is on you and you become a bit overwhelmed, so when Mondo Rock took off I was more prepared,” said Wilson, who started out singing in the school choir and in a band at school.
“We are very diligent about how we prepare
“I grew up in a musical household so got into
my first band at school, and playing gigs weekends. Then I decided to take a leap off the ledge without a net and got into it full time.
There was no such thing as showbiz lawyers and little advice when we started out.”
My parents were very supportive. Dad really never mentioned it as a problem and over time I proved to him that I could make it work.”
“My musical style has changed a bit I think and I’m always looking for something different. I’m a music omnivore,” he says with a laugh.
As for longevity, Wilson says being in the position of a lead singer and a writer gives him the ability to marshal all the forces together and direct what’s going on, as well producing other albums for the likes of Skyhooks. “When I saw Skyhooks I sort of became their mentor. I was sticking up for them and watching out for them in the industry. I was really glad they signed with Mushroom because I didn’t want them to be censored.” The most difficult part of the 40-year journey, he says, was being young and a little naïve. “When you start off young and full of enthusiasm you tend to be more trusting so you have to learn. It’s the classic story of artists being exploited. These days it’s a lot more business like though with more resources available.
These days Wilson’s musical tastes are varied.
Mixing it up with Mondo Rock, New Zealand band Mi-Sex are special guests playing all their hits, including faves like Computer Games, Blue Day, People and But You Don’t Care. “It’s great to have Mi-Sex as supporting. They’re brilliant and we’re all looking forward to some fun,” says Wilson. Mondo Rock started out as a quintessential pub rock outfit and soon developed into one of the most prominent bands of the live music scene. As they prepare for the Besto Mondo tour, fans can expect the same musical genius all over again with hits from the Besto Mondo Greatest Hits Collection.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.
Giving the Yabbies the Blues: Hastings handed out a 177 point thrashing to Tyabb on Saturday. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Tigers cause major upset NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt DROMANA caused the upset of the season on Saturday in Nepean League, leading all afternoon to beat Rye by 11 points. At one stage in the third quarter, the Tigers led by as much as 51 points. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a tough year for the Tigers but they have continuously proved that their best is good enough to match it with the best in the competition. On Saturday at Dromana Recreation Reserve, they jumped the Demons and led by 11 points at quarter time and 10 points at the main change. Billy Quigley was a real handful for the opposition in attack with five goals, Matt Jones was at his best and former Demons Braeden Dennis was getting under the guard of the opposition and finished with three goals. Rohan Bleeker had a break-out
game for the Tigers and proved he belongs at the top level and Christian Ongarello controlled the match from the back half. The Demons came flying home in the last quarter with a seven goal to three term, however, they still fell short 15.19 (109) to 18.12 (120). While the result was sensational for Dromana, the real story was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what happened to Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? Nathan Henley was sensational with five goals and Ryan Mullett dominated through the middle. Adam Kirkwood provided plenty of drive, Sam Smith had an impact, Rhett Sutton regained some form and Ben Holmes booted three goals. With that kind of output from some of their better players, you would have expected a win, not a loss. Rye coach Josh Moore was shattered on Sunday following the match.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take losing very well,â&#x20AC;? said Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difference between the two teams was simply they wanted it more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pride ourselves on effort and when we give it, we win more often than not. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it on Saturday and Dromana was better than us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a massive reality check. We may look back on it and say it was a good thing to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rehab was good on Sunday and we were very galvanised at the conclusion. I hate losing but it might be the kick start we need at the right time, â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Moore. Somerville got things back on track to an extent on Saturday, turning around a sloppy first quarter to get the job done against Frankston Bombers. The Eagles trailed by two points at
quarter time but booted 13 goals to eight after the first break to celebrate a commanding 16.13 (109) to 12.7 (79) victory. Tom Shaw and Scott Simpson booted four goals each for the Eagles while Timmy McGenniss again dominated. Ben Sedgwick and Josh Westerman also challenged for the top votes. James Degenhardt was outstanding for the Bombers with three goals while Matt Harris and Jason Kingsbury also worked tirelessly. Sorrento, as expected, made light work of Pearcedale, winning 24.12 (156) to 6.6 (42). Myles Pitt booted 10 goals while a further 12 players hit the scoreboard. Leigh Treeby, arguably the best in the business, was best on the ground. Brendan Neville and Glenn Anderson worked hard for the Dales. Devon Meadows celebrated coach
Glenn Michieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300th game in fine style on Saturday, dominating the second hour to beat Crib Point 17.14 (116) to 7.12 (54). Troy Aust finished with three goals for the Meadows while Michie was one of five players to kick two goals for the winners. Jesse Dehey and Billy Hayes were outstanding for the winners. Zac Condick, Brad Arnold and James Cook were tireless for the Pies. Luke Clark booted 10 goals for Hastings as they bounced back against Tyabb, winning 30.21 (201) to 3.6 (24). Lance Brouwer and the underrated Chris Biviano were exceptional for the Blues, while Colin McVeigh was also at his best. Michael Frost and Adrian Clay were the best of the Yabbies. Rosebud and Red Hill had the bye.

Stonecats flex their muscles PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW flexed its muscles on Saturday in the Peninsula League match of the round, thumping Edithvale-Aspendale by almost 100 points. The Eagles came into the game having won five games on the trot, including against top five teams Pines and Mornington. However, at no stage was the home team in the match against the Stonecats. They were held goalless in the first and third quarters, eventually going down 19.16 (130) to 6.3 (39). The Eagles weren’t helped by the fact they were missing prime mover Tim Mavric and ruckman Aaron Pawel. The lack of a ruckman meant the Matt Kremmer had to be moved from the attacking end to the middle, resulting in the Eagles losing their ability to stretch YCW defensively. The bulk of the forward work was left to Jarrod Garth, who competed hard and booted two goals. Matt Clark was clearly the Eagles’ best with more than 20 touches through the middle of the ground. Former Richmond player Brett O’Hanlon was well restricted, finishing with just 13 possessions. Frankston YCW on the other hand was superb. It’s going to take a super effort from a very good side to stop this club win another premiership. Anthony Barry was the best player on the ground, controlling things from half back, while his cousin Byron wasn’t far behind him. Ash Eames was unstoppable in the ruck and gave first use to his small men all day, including Tony Lester, who finished with 21 possessions and two goals. In attack, YCW always looked dangerous. Anthony Bruhn had almost 10 shots on goal but finished with just four majors, while Lew Roberts was unassuming but still managed three majors. The likes of James Credlin and Ryan Santon don’t get a lot of attention but are growing in confidence each week, while Luke Collins is really starting to find his way. The only sad note on what was otherwise a sensational day for the Stonecats was the knee injury to Ben Buckley. Buckley was starring for the Stonecats but twisted his knee with just three minutes of the game left on the clock. He was stretchered from

the field. Watching Frankston YCW play opposition sides is like watching boys versus men. The body shape of the Stonecats is far superior to that of any other side and this is the reason they are going to be hard to stop come
finals time. They don’t have a weak link. They have wonderful leadership, a self confidence that is undeniable and an enormous appetite to win. Seaford put a tumultuous week behind them, booting seven last quarter

goals to shake-off Karingal, 16.15 (111) to 10.10 (70). The Tigers gave marching orders to their coach Ben Crowe on Tuesday night before training after Crowe resigned his position midway through the season.

Despite Crowe committing to the club for the remainder of the season, the club decided it was best if he didn’t see out the year. Crowe said he understood where the club stood, however, conceded he was disappointed with the way it ended. “I thought I had the support of the club and the players to finish the season but obviously that wasn’t the case,” said Crowe. “You find out things that you were blinded by when everything unfolds and it seems that there were people at the club who didn’t support me. That being the case, the club officials had to do something about it”. Crowe said he would weigh up his future over the coming weeks. “If I play in Nepean, it will be with Somerville. However, I have a lot of mates at a lot of clubs – Pines, YCW, Mt Eliza, Edithvale-Aspendale. “There’s going to be a lot of speculation on where I play next season but it couldn’t be further from my mind right now,” said Crowe. Mornington bounced back on Saturday, smashing Chelsea 20.16 (136) to 5.13 (43). Dale Nolan was dominant with six goals and Jackson Calder was dangerous also with four while Jake Smart finished with three goals in his best senior game for the club. Rory Gregg worked hard in the ruck for the Gulls, while Matt Gardener tried hard up forward with two goals. Pines too bounced back on Saturday, leading all afternoon to knock over Bonbeach 14.12 (96) to 10.7 (67). The Pythons set up the win with a seven goal to one first quarter. The Sharks booted nine goals to seven after quarter time. Guy Hendry starred for the Pythons with five goals while Aaron Edwards with four and Corey Ash were outstanding. Gary Carpenter and Jackson Sole led the way for the Sharks, along with Lachy Gill-Renouf. Mt Eliza strangled Langwarrin in a low scoring contest, winning 11.13 (79) to 5.6 (30). Justin Van Unen booted four goals for 87 for the season while Jimmy Clayton and Timmy Strickland dominated. Ricki Johnston was clearly Langwarrin’s best again, along with Blake Peach, who finished with two goals.
