Shooting stars AN ear-shattering blast from a howitzer cannon perched at the tip of the Mornington Peninsula echoed across the waters of Port Phillip at exactly 12.45pm last Tuesday, marking the precise moment 100 years ago the first shot of the British Empire in the First World War was fired across the bow of a fleeing German merchant ship. The crowd of hundreds attending last week’s commemoration service affirmed the “momentous” place in world history occupied by Fort Nepean. But it was the members of the gun crew in 1914 who were acknowledged as the real stars of the day.

Ward candidates denied a hearing MORE than half of the 17 candidates in the keenly contested Red Hill ward byelection have been denied the chance to meet representatives of six ward residents’ associations and a shire-wide “post office” organisation. Only those candidates with an address in the ward – which takes in some 45 per cent of the Mornington Peninsula – were invited to put their views to a meeting last Thursday of the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group. One “local” candidate, Barbara Porter, did not receive an invitation as it
was considered she does not spend much time in the ward. The groups that make up the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group represent Flinders, Somers, Shoreham, Balnarring beach, Cape Schanck, Red Hill and an organisation called Peninsula Exchange (PenEx), effectively an electronic “post office”, which many Mornington Peninsula community groups and individuals use to share information. After listening to the seven candidates – Michael Treadwell, Shawn Jackson, Tim Wood, Kylie Greer,

Alastair Young, Mark Fancett and Kerry Watson – the committee conducted its own poll to decide who it would like to become their ward councillor. Tim Wood came first, followed by Kerry Watson and Mark Fancett. The nine non-ward candidates not invited to attend were Leigh Eustace, Rose Ljubicic, Brian Morgan, Kate Roper, Leigh Coleman, Neale Adams, Bryan Payne, Peter Holloway and Darren Andrew. The recommendation to vote for Mr Wood, Ms Watson and Mr Fancett will
Caring for local families for over 35 years
be conveyed to the members of the individual ward group organisations, largely by email. People and groups on PenEx’s shire-wide mailing list will also likely receive the recommendation. This recommendation could be crucial to the election outcome and will certainly disadvantage the non-ward candidates. Leigh Eustace, a candidate who was not invited to the meeting because he lives in Mt Eliza, said the process was “certainly undemocratic”. “I’m gobsmacked, they didn’t give
me a chance. I’ve spent years [as a former councillor] fighting for them, so it’s not as if I’m unknown.” Mr Eustace said that while it was “legally correct and valid” for those living outside the ward to nominate for the seat the consultative committee appeared biased in its approach. The consultative committee was formed several years ago so that the ward councillor, then Frank Martin, could regularly meet members of residents’ association across the ward.

Memories flood in as the years roll by Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FESTIVITIES to mark her centenary last week put a spring in the step of a Dromana woman who lived in the suburb for the past 40 years. The celebrations included a party for 60-70 friends and family – some from as far away as Canada and Western Australia - at the nursing home in Cheltenham where she now lives. She has accepted an invitation from the Governor to attend an afternoon tea party, and eagerly awaits letters from the Governor General and Her Majesty, the Queen. Violet Aldrich, who turned 100 last Saturday, has fond memories of a sleepy township where she moved with husband, Ted, in the early 1970s. “I miss Dromana a lot,” she said last week. “Everyone there was my friend and they were all very caring of me.” Riding her electric scooter she would visit the shops and catch up with friends. The shire health care staff, local Church of England, and the Brotherhood of St Laurence were always supportive. “I didn’t need to ask for help until I was 91,” she said. Mrs Aldrich emigrated with her family from Watford, England, in 1952, when one of her four children was diagnosed with asthma. “We were told he wouldn’t live through another winter and advised to go somewhere warmer and dryer.” Their choices were Africa or Australia. They made the right move: “He hadn’t been given
a year yet he lived in Australia for the next 38 years,” she said. The family first lived with her sister in Surrey Hills, and Mr Aldrich managed the Gravure printing presses for the Herald and Weekly Times in Hawthorn. In her 60s they moved to the peninsula and “loved it” from the start. Daughter Yvonne said her parents enjoyed fishing and boating, regular scenic drives to Arthur’s seat and especially “the beach life”. The family bought land in Rye and erected a tent as a holiday base for extended family and friends and Mrs Aldrich has “wonderful memories of the beach and family get togethers”. Sadly, after a “lovely holiday to the Whitsundays” Mr Aldrich was diagnosed with melanoma and died 30 years ago. He is buried on a hillside near Arthur’s Seat. Reaching the 100 milestone was no surprise for Mrs Aldrich’s son, Roy, who said her sister in England died at 101. “Mum was thrilled with all the fuss of the party,” he said last week from his home at Rosebud West. “Her body is frail but her mind is very good. “She once quipped that the only time she’d get that many people together would be at her funeral. We’re glad that’s not the case.”

VISITORS are being encouraged to photograph the lighthouse at Cape Schanck this weekend and share their images on social media. The lighthouse facing Bass Strait is one of 350 maintained a run by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. Saturday and Sunday mark International Lighthouse Weekend and Cape Schanck is one of 18 lighthouses regularly opened to the public. The annual lighthouse weekend was started in 1998 by the Ayr Amateur radio Group in Scotland to promote public awareness of lighthouses and other navigational aids and the need to preserve and restore them. The Association of Lighthouse Keepers joined the event a few years later to add an open day element to the event. The safety authority’s acting CEO Mick Kinley said lighthouses had undergone many technological changes while continuing to play a vital role in shipping safety. Photos of the cape Schanck lighthouse can be shared at #illw2014.

Capturing the light
A 73-year-old man was found dead in the water at Mt Martha on Friday, on the same day a funeral service was held for a Mount Martha father of three who died in a surfing mishap at Point Leo less than a week earlier. The body of John O’Brien was located by a Mornington Volunteer Marine Rescue vessel in the waters off Mt Martha following an extensive search mission. The alarm was raised by Mr O’Brien’s wife when he failed to turn up for work at 3pm after he had set off earlier in the afternoon from Fishermans Beach to go fishing in his kayak. A search involving the police air wing, coast guard and volunteer marine rescue teams was launched about 5pm. Ten minutes later, Mr. O’Brien’s kayak was located washed up on Birdrock Beach.
At 7pm, the Mornington Volunteer Marine Rescue crew found his body. Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious. A report will be prepared for the Coroner. Earlier in the day, a funeral service was held for 42-year-old David Walker of Mt Martha, who died while surfing at Point Leo the previous weekend. The father of three was dragged unconscious from the water after reportedly hitting his head on rocks while surfing at Crunchy Point about 3pm on Saturday 2 August. The keen surfer was remembered as the loving husband of Fiona and devoted father to Joseph, Sylvie and Candace. The service was held at New Peninsula Baptist Church in Mt Martha at 1pm last Friday.

THREE new projects involving young people have been launched as part of the Rosebud West Community Renewal program. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the $65,000 Hands on Learning project will support at least 60 “at-risk” students make the “often difficult transition to secondary college”. Tootgarook Wetlands Reserve would receive $48,000 towards the West – Youth Co design project while the Festival for Healthy Living mental health promotion will get $20,000. Mr Dixon said the Community Renewal project was launched in 2006 in eight urban areas to tackle disadvantage and build partnerships between residents, businesses, local organisations and all levels of government. “The Rosebud West Community Renewal board has been delivering for this community already through initiatives like the redevelopment of the Vern Wright Reserve, the revitalisation of a vibrant Capel Sound Village shopping area, and the annual Neighbour Day.”

entering Country Club Drive due to the speed of oncoming vehicles along Nepean Hwy. He said motorists often performed a potentially risky U-turn manoeuvre further down the road. “It’s an absolute debacle,” Mr Knorr said. “In 2002, council admitted it was a dangerous intersection and since then three nursing homes and many more homes have been built in the area.” He said varying speed limits in that particular stretch of the Nepean Hwy, quickly moving from a 100 kph, 80 kph then 60 kph limit did not help drivers’ concentration. Traffic lights at the intersection, a
lower and consistent speed limit or a “big” roundabout were possible solutions to the danger, according to Mr Knorr. Cr Graham Pittock said he was aware of the residents’ concerns and met Mr Knorr last month to discuss them in detail. VicRoads representatives regularly meet with Mornington Peninsula Shire staff and Cr Pittock said he would raise the Country Club Drive intersection concerns with the state road and traffic authority. “In fact, we’re due to meet on Tuesday so I’ll bring it up then,” Cr Pittock said.
Plea for park AN ageing toilet block at a reserve in Tootgarook is to be demolished despite protests from nearby residents. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s infrastructure planning and policy team leader Ross Gregory said the toilet block at Romney Park Reserve was “disused and at the end of its useful life”. Long time resident David Stanton said the toilet block was rundown because “for years it has been neglected by council”. “They’ve done everything they could to dissuade people from using it,” he said. “I believe this demolition should be resisted, as it has seemed to me, to have been a war of attrition by the council over many years, whereby various pieces of playground infrastructure, has been slowly removed from this park. “The park has become a vacant block of land which few people use.” Mr Stanton said the reserve was a gift from developers, the Hamer family, for the recreation of people nearby. “How can the council expect people to use the park when there are no facilities to support activities? “This is none other than a bean counter's war against the people of this area.”
Solar spotlight The ayes have it: Candidates in the Red Hill ward byelection indicate their opposition to Mornington Peninsula Shire selling four blocks of land in the centre of Balnarring when asked by master of ceremonies Murray Turner at a meeting on Saturday. Picture: Alison Griffiths-Hoelzer
Candidates against land sale NEARLY 100 people turned up on Saturday afternoon to listen to candidates in the Red Hill ward election. All 17 candidates were invited to speak at Balnarring Hall, however, four were absent: Peter Holloway, Bryan Payne, Brian Morgan and Leigh Coleman. The 13 candidates who did attend all put up their hands when asked if they opposed selling four blocks of land in Balnarring’s town centre owned by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Candidates at the meeting were Shawn Jackson, Michael Treadwell, Leigh Eustace, Rose Ljubicic, Kerry Watson, Tim Wood, Kate Roper, Kylie Greer, Neale Adams, Barbara Porter, Alistair Young, Mark Fancett and Darren Andrew. “They all raised their hands when asked if the land should be kept for public open space,” Bronwyn Dick, of the Balnarring Village Common, said. She said the majority of candidates “have really good reasons for standing” and the group would not be recommending support for any one candidate. “We have complete confidence in the intelligence of voters to make an informed decision,” Ms Dick said. “It's vital that we elect a councillor who will support our community on local issues. “The call to retain four blocks of land in the centre of town remains undecided and we expect our new Red Hill Ward councillor to take the fight up to council.”
VCAT overturns shire demolition order A RECENT appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal regarding a Mornington Peninsula Shire order to demolish a second house on a Tucks Rd property was successful in retaining the structure as an outbuilding – not a “dwelling” – with its kitchen removed. The applicant, Jackie Prossor of Foresite Town Planning against Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, argued successfully that reuse of the original house as an outbuilding to a newly constructed dwelling was a “more sustainable and sensible approach” than demolishing it and constructing a new building. The property, at 342 Tucks Rd, Shoreham, is the address listed on election material by Red Hill ward candidate Tim Wood. He was formerly a vice-president of VCAT and a judge of the County Court. In a judgement dated 2 July 2014, tribunal member Mary-Anne Taranto rejected the
shire’s argument, which she described as “ideological opposition to the retention of the existing dwelling despite its decommissioning”. No shire officer attended the VCAT hearing. Green wedge properties are prohibited by state planning law from having more than one dwelling per land parcel. One option is the “decommissioning” of a second house, as was successfully sought in this case. Member Taranto concluded: “I have found that it is reasonable to allow retention of the existing dwelling in a decommissioned form in combination with other existing but modestly proportioned buildings and the proposed new dwelling. “I conclude that any impacts on the visual, environmental, scenic and rural values of the land and surrounding land are relatively benign.”
CANDIDATES in the November state election and Victorian senators Ricky Muir and John Madigan are being asked to “stand up” for solar power. “In a country with so much sun, clean, affordable energy should be accessible to everyone,” Sasha Mainsbridge said. Ms Mainsbridge, who describes herself as “solar owner, advocate for social justice issues and volunteer for Environment Victoria”, wants state candidates from Mordialloc to Portsea to give their views on solar power at her “cuppa sunshine” event on Tuesday 19 August at the Frankston Enviro Hub, 8/14 Wells St. “Cuppa Sunshine is an initiative of Solar Citizens, an independent, community-based organisation bringing together millions of solar owners and supporters to grow and protect solar in Australia,” Ms Mainsbridge said. “Many more families want to make the move to solar and any changes to the renewable energy target will make that move harder. “We have a state election late this year and I want to know which candidates will stand up for accessible, clean energy for my community. For details call Ms Mainsbridge on 0422 641 474 or email sashamainsbridge@live.com

Driving home the road safety message for students STUDENTS from Balcombe Grammar, Rosebud Secondary College, Chisholm Institute Frankston and Mt Eliza Secondary College attended last week’s Teenagers Road Accident Group – TRAG – forum at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington. The 400 students and teachers heard all about driving and road safety from Pricilla Grimme, Southern Metro Central Region SES, Grant Watkins, Victoria Police, and presenters Brendan Lang, Skye Thorpe and Sam Howe. Teenagers Road Accident Group members gave students P-plates which, on their reverse side, feature an image of the tree which took the life of Stacey House, daughter of TRAG chairperson Terry House. Her sister, Kelly, gave a moving presentation. Don’t-txt-n-drive packs - with bright orange wristbands or key chains – were provided by Vicky Richardson, a Shepparton mother who doesn’t want daughter Brooke’s death to go unnoticed. The 20 year old hairdresser had won apprentice-of-the-year two years running and loved helping those less fortunate, but, she made the fatal mistake of texting when driving – the last decision she ever made. These packs are now at all Woolworth stores on the peninsula. Guests at the TRAG presentation included Assistant Police Commissioner Robert Hill, MPs Martin Dixon and Greg Hunt, Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Dr Michael Kennedy, and representatives from Lions and other service groups.

Volunteers take time to clean the sand SEA Shepherd volunteers filled a skip bin with rubbish they collected on the foreshore between Rye and Rosebud last weekend. Around 40 per cent was recyclable. Organiser James Brown said the group was hoping to grow the initiative to cover the whole bay “and have a day a year where it can shine and be the centre of attention of the whole of Melbourne”. He said the eight kilometres cleaned was only a small proportion of the bay’s 294km coastline “which needs the same amount of care”. The group is raising funds to buy a boat to work with the departments of Fisheries, Parks and Environment and Sustainability to educate craft users as to their responsibilities when navigating around seals, dolphins and whales. The Boat in the Bay campaign is sponsored by Bendigo Bank. The year-old Mornington Peninsula chapter of Sea Shepherd Australia is seeking ocean conservation minded people as ground crew volunteers. Members meet at the Rye Hotel on the last Wednesday of the month at 6.30pm. Stephen Taylor Down and dirty: Sea Shepherd supporters and volunteers collected enough rubbish from the beach to fill a skip.

Easy does it: Mornington Centre patient Louisa Dixon in a low-low bed with a fall-out mat.
Donation brings soft landings A $10,000 donation is providing soft and safe landings for elderly patients at Frankston and Rosebud hospitals and Peninsula Health centres in Golf Links Rd, Frankston and Mornington. The latest grant from the Grosvenor Foundation is being spent on fall-out mats and bed monitors. The mats prevent patients rolling from the low-lying beds while the monitors alert staff that a patient is attempting to get up without assistance.
“Staff are able to immediately respond to the alarm and reduce the patient’s fall risk,” chief operating officer Jan Child said. “This additional equipment will allow us to better care for the large numbers of elderly patients who are at risk of falling that are in our care. “The Mornington Peninsula has the largest population of over 65s in Victoria.” Ms Child said the Grosvenor Foundation has given Peninsula Health nearly $40,000 in the past three years.

Peninsula Probus club founder dies SECOND World War veteran and Probus Club of the Southern Peninsula founding president Lloyd Collins passed away recently at Sorrento Lodge aged 95. A small family memorial luncheon was held at Rye RSL on Tuesday 29 July to farewell Mr Collins, right, who was a well-known resident of Blairgowrie where he lived for more than 30 years. Mr Collins was the primary force behind the establishment of the Southern Peninsula Probus Club at Blairgowrie in 1982. Forty years earlier, Mr Collins served as a cipher operator attached to the 17th Australian Infantry Brigade
based in New Guinea in 1942-3. His role in the New Guinea was critical, acting as a link between headquarters and frontline troops encoding and decoding messages to avoid interception by Japanese forces. He kept a diary during his time in New Guinea which became the basis for a book he wrote on the his experiences in the war called New Guinea Narrative, which was published in 2001. Mr Collins was remembered as the “dearly loved uncle of Noreen and the late Murray Landt, Leighton and Glenys Collins, Beth and John Cullip, Kevin and Bronwyn Collins and Donald and Jan Collins”.

World cup call for star basketballers FRANKSTON basketballers David Andersen and Ryan Broekhoff have been selected to play in the 12-man Australian team at the FIBA World Cup in Spain. The players were farewelled last Monday before heading off on the Boomers’ pre-tournament tour of Europe. The team was announced on 28 July and will compete from 30 August to 14 September. Their selection followed a week of internal trialling at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra where both Andersen, 34, and Broekhoff, 23, trained as teenagers. The talented pair began as five-yearolds with Frankston Basketball in introductory programs then played in the domestic competition. They were members of Frankston Basketball’s junior representative program: the
Frankston Blues. From there, they took similar paths through state representative teams and then into the Australian Institute of Sport and national junior representative teams. Boomers head coach Andrej Lemanis said the challenge of reducing 17 into 12 was made all the more difficult because of the performance of all the players in camp. “The selection process has been vigorous and thorough,” he said. “The really positive news for Australian basketball is that we have a depth of talent available now which made the final selection process challenging. “I have always said that difficult decisions would need to be made and it was very tough settling on the final squad, which is tremendous credit to all who competed at the camp.” With his team selected, Lemanis’s
focus now turns to the Boomers’ European preparation. “I look forward to building together over the next month,” he said. Frankston Basketball president Rob Little says Andersen’s and Broekhoff’s selection was an historic moment for the Frankston and District Basketball Association which he said was the premier sporting association on the Mornington Peninsula with more than 13,000 participants. “To have two athletes selected out of the 12-member team who came through the same basketball association is phenomenal,” he said. Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor was at the players’ send-off said council was working with the association to expand its stadium to cater for more than 6000 members. Stephen Taylor
FRANKSTON’S Chisholm TAFE Institute is on a financial sound footing compared to other further vocational education and training providers in Victoria. A report by the Victorian AuditorGeneral released last week revealed the state’s TAFE sector suffered a $16.2 million net deficit in 2013 and many institutes are in financial strife in the wake of state government funding cuts. Chisholm defied the state-wide trend by reporting a net surplus, before operating costs, of $30.6 million. In 2012 the Frankston TAFE reported a net surplus of $3.5 million before costs. TAFEs collectively generated revenue of $1.08 billion, $89.4 million less than in 2012. Auditor-General John Doyle noted the fall was mainly due to a $102.9 million reduction in state government grants, partially offset by a $7.8 million increase in federal operating grants. In his report, Mr Doyle praised Chisholm for its response to new funding circumstances. The Auditor-General said the Institute had implemented “effective cost control strategies”. Chisholm CEO Maria Peters said the Institute had been proactive in making changes in 2012, when the Coalition state government, then headed by former premier Ted Baillieu, decided to slash about $300 million from TAFEs funding. Ms Peters said the changes Chisholm had made in response to funding cuts had been “difficult” but “necessary”.
“We refocused the organisation… to ensure Chisholm’s long-term success. Through the hard work and dedication of our staff, we have been able to meet out training delivery and financial sustainability objectives.” The Auditor-General noted five TAFEs, including the North Melbourne Institute of TAFE and Melbourne’s William Angliss Institute, were at severe risk of being financially unsustainable. Chisholm’s financial sustainability risk assessment was upgraded from “medium” in 2012 to “low” in 2013. Ms Peters said the Institute board’s expertise had steered Chisholm through a challenging time for the vocational education and training sector. The TAFE sought to increase its industry ties last year, and created a number of new training partnerships. Ms Peters said Chisholm would diversify its revenue streams by seeking out strategic partnerships. “We remain as committed as ever to delivering the best possible training and educational outcomes for our students, our industry clients and the wider community, especially in the south-east,” Ms Peters said. “This will be the foundation for a strong and successful future.” About 220 Chisholm Institute staff members were axed in late 2012 across six campuses and several courses were scrapped. In his report, the Auditor-General said Chisholm was among TAFES “to be commended” for acting “early” to implement “changed course offerings, staff redundancies, campus rationalisation and [reduce] operating costs.”

Councils bank on expanded port Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON Council is banking on the $12 billion development of a container port at Hasting to achieve one of its main aims: jobs. Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor says an “impact analysis” of the expanded port by consultants GHD estimated an average 400 jobs being created each year over the next 30 years. “Frankston is strategically positioning itself as the government and commerce hub for the Port of Hastings given our proximity, lifestyle attributes and metropolitan activity centre status,” Cr Taylor said. His statement was issued in the same week that Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor criticised a Labor Party proposal to abandon Hastings in favour of building a new port near Geelong. The statements of the two mayors will put Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula councils on a collision course with Labor if it wins the November state election. However, not all municipalities in the Western Port region are as welcoming of the proposed port with Bass Coast Council sponsoring a five-day workshop looking at alternative scenarios for the future. (‘Workshop maps future without bigger port’, Page 16) The current government has committed $110 million over four for the Port of Hastings Development Authority to plan for an expanded port by the mid-2020s. The GHD report relied on by Cr Taylor comes a month after the release of a study by Victoria University researchers Dr Hermione Parsons and Peter Van Duyn. Their paper, Build it – but will they come?, questions the economic viability of a container port at Hastings, suggesting that there
is no need for Victoria to have a port capable of receiving the world’s largest container vessels and claiming that their cargoes either originate or are destined for businesses west of Melbourne. Dr Parsons and Mr Van Duyn say the decision about the location of Victoria’s next major port is too important to be made by politicians. Support for the Port of Hastings by the two mayors was reinforced last week by Ports Minister David Hodgett who said the Build it – but will they come? report contained “many inaccuracies”. “To stick one’s head in the sand and mount arguments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victoria’s economic prospects,” he said. Mr Hodgett said Victoria needed the “sort of visionary thinking” of former Victorian premier Sir Henry Bolte who “zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s”. At the time, Sir Henry envisaged Western Port as being the “Ruhr of the south” – emulating Germany’s massive industrial centre - and said petrochemical companies facing tough environmental laws in Europe should be invited to operate at Hastings. When asked about atmospheric pollution, Sir Henry replied: “it’ll blow away”. Cr Taylor said the GHD report indicated that the benefit to the region would be $60 million a year during the construction phase and $1 billion a year once fully operational. The report was prepared for a consortium of 10 local government authorities including Frankston, the Southern Melbourne and Gippsland Regional Development Australia (RDA) committees, United Energy and Connect East. “The Port of Hastings development provides an enormous opportunity to support and
expand our local economy and job supply,” Cr Taylor said. “We have already approved first-class office facilities perfectly suited to government departments and commercial entities with linkages to the port.” Cr Taylor said the GHD study found that construction of the container port at Hastings would mean a “beneficial economic impact of an average of $60 million a year in gross regional product” over 30 years. This would eventually lead to an extra 5700 jobs by the mid-2030s and 15,200 jobs by the early 2050s. Cr Celi dubbed the Labor Party plan for a new container port near Geelong “fundamentally flawed”. “The proposal to build an eight kilometrelong pier is problematic enough, but when you consider the amount of dredging that would be required to accommodate the larger vessels, it just doesn’t stack up – particularly when Hastings is already a natural deep water port,” Cr Celi said. Before Cr Celi’s endorsement of expanding the Port of Hastings, the shire’s position had been to give “in principle” support. “However, this support has been conditional on satisfactory resolution of the issues raised by the community, particularly ensuring that Hastings is further developed as an environmentally sustainable ‘green port’, and that the necessary transport infrastructure is provided ahead of demand to avoid adverse traffic and rail transport impacts on the shire’s townships,” officers stated in a report to councillors last week. “The business case should also clearly identify the economic benefits to the Shire and the south east region.” The state government has not released cost estimates of upgrading rail and road links to service the new port.
Seniors tee off in golf classic ROSEBUD Park Golf Club is staging two Veterans Golf Classic tournaments for seniors (aged 55 and over) on Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 October. They are part of a state-wide festival run by Seniors Victoria to promote the well-being of seniors in the community. The tournaments will cost seniors $26 per day for 18 holes of golf, prizes, showbag and a light lunch.

OPINION
Council’s imaginary six By Cr David Gibb DAVID Harrison continues to talk hogwash. Unfortunately readers, just because you read it in the paper, it doesn’t make it true. He talks about a 6:5 split with me in the imaginary six. And yet how is it that a few amendments to motions that I have put up recently have been defeated, or motions that I’ve moved have been supported by councillors in his imaginary five? Tim Rogers and I have always voted together on the issue of dwellings in the green wedge. Voting was all over the place on the controversial freeway service centre, the refusal for which I successfully moved. (VCAT confirmed the refusal but the minister approved it over our heads). I moved the refusal motion for the 36-lot housing development in the Tootgarook Swamp, with nine votes in support. The truth is that, unlike Parliament where a whip tells you how to vote, in council you vote according to your personal values and beliefs, and the numbers fall where they may. It’s absurd to talk about voting blocs when we’re discussing library opening hours, how much money to put into Home and Community Care or the master plan for a sports ground. SPA is the only issue that has had a 6:5 split, in both the previous council and this one. Both democratically elected councils have resolved to build SPA in the vicinity of the memorial hall. But in the best traditions of their friends in the Rupert Murdoch press, Harrison and the MP News have decided that they don’t accept these democratic decisions and the overwhelming community support for SPA, and have sought to undermine SPA over the years. Imagine Mr Harrison’s surprise when, after his concerted anti-SPA campaign, readers who had been conditioned with at least two years of antiSPA propaganda voted in the MP News poll 68 per cent in support of council’s decision (to build SPA on the memorial hall site), and a further 26 per cent said build it somewhere else. Clearly the borrowings of the shire are not an issue if 94 per cent of voters want SPA to be built.
Readers may be surprised to know that the poll was pulled off the paper’s website when it didn’t get the required result. However, you can still find it in other places on the web. And no, Mr Harrison, the estimated cost has not spiralled. Council meeting papers still spell out $33 million just like they did two years ago. (There will be an option in October re a $3 million expansion, but there is no such decision to date.) Council will consider spending a major sum on upgrading Rosebud Memorial Hall, but that need has been on hold for years because of SPA and is required regardless of SPA. And no, Mr Harrison, shire borrowings are not increasing. Council is again paying off more than $5 million of principal and interest again this year. Debt is much less than 20 per cent of annual council income, compared to many companies (and many countries) where debt is up to double a year’s income. (The recent Murray inquiry stated that average household debt is 1½ years family income). Debt is legitimately used to build long term assets for immediate use that a couple of generations enjoy and pay for. (Intergenerational equity). So there isn’t a problem, confirmed by Treasury Corporation Victoria which was invited by the shire to critique the books. Similarly, the Victorian Auditor General annually gives the best rating of “low risk” to all the statutory indicators. The shire runs a surplus on its recurrent budget (unlike federal government) and that surplus each year is put towards capital works. All this with this council having the sixth lowest rates out of 79 councils in Victoria. But that’s not the story you get from the hogwash journalist. Editor’s note: The Mornington Peninsula News Group is not allied to News Corp and the SPA poll was not pulled from the website because of its results - it was too open to manipulation by both sides of the argument. David Harrison consented by email with “amused resignation to publication of Cr Gibb's description [of him] and accepts the editor's invitation to respond with facts to Cr Gibb's largely inaccurate rantings. All without prejudice, as lawyers say”.
LETTERS Port disaster The support by Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi for the extension of the port of Hastings comes across as a last ditch attempt by proponents of this environmental disaster to make it palatable to the great majority of thinking people objecting to this, happening on the peninsula (‘Mayor blasts Labor’s new port’, The News 5/8/14). The amount of dredging needed in Western Port is almost the same as in port Phillip, and we have not been told where all this waste is going to be dumped. The simple truth is that neither option is sustainable. Why not seriously consider Portland as Victoria's hub of shipping? It has a true deep water port. With rail upgrades it could service all of Victoria for a very long time. It also would decentralise the ever growing population of Melbourne and possibly create jobs for this region. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Mt Eliza’s loss I READ with interest the election advertisement for Leigh Eustace running in the Red Hill ward byelection. Mr Eustace was a wonderful councillor representing the Mt Eliza ward before the last general council elections. Mt Eliza and Mornington Peninsula Shire are poorer with the absence of Mr Eustace and I can commend his credentials, his work ethic and commitment to working for and engaging with community to the voters of the Red Hill ward. Mr Eustace provided his support to many wonderful projects and was prepared to put in an amazing amount of effort to achieve great outcomes for the community. While his re-election is sadly missed in Mt Eliza, the Red Hill ward has an opportunity to elect a fantastic councillor who will provide the representation they desire and have been lacking for many years. Council will be better with Mr Eustace being
elected and I stress your number one vote is necessary as preferences muddied by running mates and deals saw him not re-elected in 2012, which is Mt Eliza’s loss but Red Hill’s gain. Betty Tucker, Mt Eliza
Vote with care The green wedge is central to the Mornington Peninsula; residents rightly want its agricultural, environmental, recreational and landscape values protected and Mornington Peninsula Council has a strong record on green wedge protection. To ensure this doesn’t change, please consider the green wedge when you vote in the Red Hill by-election. Talk to the candidates about where they stand: the main threats to green wedges are the subdivision and conversion of agricultural land to residential. Do the candidates support putting houses on land below the minimum lot size? Do they support putting more than one house on a block? Or putting urban commercial or industrial development on the green wedge? The Green Wedges Coalition endorses Leigh Eustace because of his rolled gold record as a community leader in the campaign to stop historic Norman Lodge from being surrounded by three modern mansions; as a councillor who consistently voted to protect the green wedge from inappropriate development including the twin service centres at Baxter (unfortunately approved by the planning minister overruling council), overdevelopment at T’Gallant winery, caravan park overdevelopment at McLears Hill, life-style development on farmland and the brewery at Cape Schanck; and as a Green Wedges Coalition delegate, against the proposed tip at Arthurs Seat, on which Leigh drafted the Green Wedges Coalition submission. It is worth noting also the role of another candidate, Peter Holloway’s in the campaign against the McLears Hill application, which is still alive, after a new owner overturned council’s refusal at VCAT.

Quest for shell far from a Longshot Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au SHIPWRECK recovery experts are increasingly confident they will be able to locate the shell fired from a Fort Nepean artillery gun in 1914 marking the first shot of the British Empire in World War I thanks to the emergence of previously unknown details from the historic event. While the mission to locate the shell from the murky depths of Port Phillip has been dubbed Project Longshot in reference to the “needle-in-a-haystack” nature of the challenge, dive experts say more precise details from the day the shot one hundred years ago has helped them narrow down the search area. Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan, the founder of Australia’s most successful shipwreck discovery team, Southern Ocean Exploration, said the emergence of historical records and anecdotes from 1914 had enabled them to piece together an accurate picture of the precise direction and trajectory the shot was fired. And critically, it also emerged that the shell fired across the bow of the Pfalz was unique and therefore would be easy to identify among the hundreds of other shells believed to have been fired or dumped into the bay. However, he admitted the mission would still be challenging, especially given the tight timeframe they had set themselves, with the goal of recover-
ing the shell before next year’s Anzac Day centenary commemorations. “It will be a difficult mission given the ferocity of the tides in this area and a century of constant dredging, not to mention that locating a six-inch shell in Port Phillip Bay will be a needle-ina- haystack job,” he said. “However, we have sourced specialist sonar equipment; a magnetometer that the US Navy is using in Pearl Harbour to locate unexploded ordinance from the Japanese attack in 1942. This equipment is capable of finding a .22 shell under six feet of sand.” Mr Ryan said the project was entirely self-funded, with the Southern Ocean Exploration team having spent thousands dollars from their own revenue to finance the mission, as well as providing all the resources needed for the search including divers, boats and researchers. Whitewater Documentaries journalist Terry Cantwell, who is filming the search effort for a documentary film, said the story of the first shot was a compelling and integral chapter in Australia’s history. He revealed research efforts were providing more and more fascinating details of the event, which were not only filling out the narrative but also helping refine the search itself. “This is one of the most exciting projects that we’ve undertaken to date – to document the discovery of the shot that announced WW1 to the world,”
he said. “We have been amazed by the enormous community interest in this project; from ex-servicemen to school kids, it seems everyone wants this to happen.” He said Project Longshot had begun last September when he and Mr Ryan heard Ted Baillieu talking on breakfast radio about “how wonderful it would be to find the first shot of World War I”. “Soon after this, we spoke to Mr Baillieu and he told us about some new documents that he had recently received, which cast new light on the events on Port Phillip Bay on August 5, 1914,” Mr Cantwell said. “He put us in touch with historian Keith Quinton, who had recently written the definitive account of the day Stop the Pfalz, a highly accurate and intensively researched work, which painstakingly examines the Pfalz’
movements, the gun position and the probably trajectory of the shell.” The information gave them more confidence in being able to find the shell, especially details of the precise nature of the shell. “It was a heave-to shell - a warning shot – and wasn’t equipped with a charge, therefore it would not have exploded,” Mr Cantwell said. “Secondly the area where the shell was fired is not a common area where practice rounds were fired. Thirdly the shell will have distinct markings on its rifling band. “We will probably find plenty of shells – as many were dumped in the area after the closure of the South Channel Fort after World War II – but the one we are looking for will be quite distinct.” Support for the mission continues
to grow, Mr Cantwell said, incluing from Mount Eliza Secondary College students and their families, who are building replica shells for fund raising, running a social media campaign and helping with promotions. Other supporters include the The Ranelagh Club, AquaPower Marine (Volvo-Penta) in Seaford, which has donated a new Whittley S22 boat to use in the search, Black Dog Enterprises, IANTD Australia, Shearwater Research, Val Morgan Cinema Networks and “many other individuals and community groups”. “People would really like this to happen,” Mr Cantwell said. “After all of this work, we may not find the shell - hence the name Longshot - but we feel it is worth the effort to find what is arguably one of Australia’s most significant historical artefacts,

Shot of the century FOR the best part of a century, few but the most studious of history buffs were aware of the momentous role an artillery crew stationed at the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula played in the chronology of events rapidly unfolding following Great Britain’s declaration of war against Germany in 1914. History records the shot they fired across the bow of a fleeing German merchant ship, SS Pfalz, as the first shot of the British Empire in World War I. But it took the arrival of the one hundred year anniversary of the outbreak of that war, and the approach of next year’s Anzac Day centenary commemoration for the events at Fort Nepean on 5 August 1914 to gain the public recognition they deserved. Hundreds of guests assembled at Point Nepean
last Tuesday as an ear-shattering blast from a howitzer cannon at Fort Nepean echoed across the waters of Port Phillip at exactly 12.45pm to mark the firing of that fateful shot. Among the crowd were dozens of dignitaries, including Victorian Governor Alex Chernov, state and federal politicians and armed forces representatives, as well as the families of the servicemen who had manned the guns in 1914, including the granddaughter of Bombardier John Purdue, the man who fired the shot. The event not only marked the start of the optimistically dubbed “war to end all wars” but also long overdue public recognition of the Fort Nepean’s place in world history. Pictures: Yanni

Workshop maps future without bigger port By Jeff Nottle* WORLD leading visionaries, academics, key regional decision makers and community group representatives developed frameworks for exciting and plausible futures for the Western Port region at a workshop on Phillip Island. We have now seen comprehensive planning and visioning undertaken outside political divides and not limited to input from state bureaucrats and the hopes of politicians seeking to be elected. This is where true community strategic planning and thinking needs to commence and we now have well considered visions for the Western Port region. The five-day workshop was organised by the Australian National University, Preserve Western Port Action Group, Victorian National Parks Association, with the support of Bass Coast Council, The scenario-planning workshop explored what Western Port may look and feel like in 2040 based on other scenario planning exercises in various contexts held around the world in developing and communicating a shared vision. Participants from more than 27 organisations included professors, strategic planners, scientists, businesses, councillors and PhD students from the Australian National University They developed and explored four plausible futures for Western Port considering financial, sustainable and creative futures. These four scenarios were developed according to the two key
Global action on climate change that attempts to keep climate change within two degrees Celsius was considered by the group to be an example of such action. Professor Robert Costanza, one of the workshop conveners: “Developing this vision is essential for ensuring that we consider all the possibilities for Western Port and generating a broad discussion of what kind of future people want”. Prof Costanza said the process was essential as “it is only through communication and development of shared visions that we can hope to achieve them”. The Victorian National Parks Association’s Simon Branigan saw the workshop as a “fantastic opportunity to bring together a diverse range of stakeholders, to think outside of the box and come up scenarios of what the Western Port region could look like in 2040”. The organisers and participants of the workshop plan to communicate the scenarios with the public in an effort to generate further discussion that will lead to obtaining a shared vision for Western Port. The participants passed a motion of support to recommend that the Bass Coast Shire Council consider seeking funding to develop and implement a communications and engagement plan for the final report. It is expected that a report from the workshop will be available by midSeptember 2014. *Jeff Nottle is chairman of the

uncertainties that are likely to shape the future of Western Port. The intersection of these two key uncertainties created four scenarios that were explored by groups of participants in an effort to understand the implications for Western Port. The first uncertainty considered how Western Port, as a region, determines its future by either following conven-
tional economic development policies or shifting to United Nations sustainable development based policies that will preserve this relatively undeveloped and unique region. The planned international mega container port at Hasting was an example of a regional policy that pursues continued economic growth at the potential expense of the environment
RED HILL WARD BY-ELECTION 23 AUGUST 2014 Rough roads and roundabouts Red Hill Ward covers 45% of the Shire’s area but many of its roads and intersections are unsafe.
Speed limits still need to be reduced on some major roads to 90 kph, and unsealed roads need a better program of grading. Major parking issues at Balnarring Primary School and St Andrew’s shops need urgent attention. Essential footpaths are missing across the Ward, and Red Hill Village and Red Hill South shops require refurbished landscaping

and other sectors of the economy. The second uncertainty considered likely to shape the future is whether the world as a whole shifts from its current pursuance of economic growth beyond what is considered to be the planet’s ability to support this growth and instead switches tack towards development within these planetary boundaries.

Location with a difference UNASSUMINGLY set in a quiet residential street, this astounding property has sat peacefully for some 30 to 40 years and quietly watched Mornington expand and build up around it. Purpose built for church use this mammoth property occupies a corner site measuring 2113 square metres across two titles and backs onto Morell Reserve. Such is its size, the main house occupies virtually one title, and the second is entirely landscaped with gardens. The home is comfortable with basic furnishings, however the kitchen has no doubt been updated. There are two enormous common rooms, one has a study alcove, and an equally spacious dining area adjoins the kitchen that receives plenty of natural light, has a good amount of storage space, and appliances include a dishwasher and walloven. Around the corner is a massive walk-in pantry. The accommodation wing consists of a staggering ten bedrooms – all with vanity unit and four full bathrooms with toilet, shower, bath and vanity. Further wet areas include two laundries and three powder rooms. Classed as a single-storey dwelling the opportunities that this landmark property offers (STCA) are many. In all likelihood the home will make way for two luxurious townhouses that can enjoy the close proximity to Shire Hall Beach and the trendiest cafes and bars, but for the creative entrepreneur with a vision to use the solid bones already here, this home could become one of Mornington’s most expansive and luxurious private residences surrounded by a delightful garden setting. The property is for sale by expressions of interest which close on 28 August.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Shire council makes a war statement Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE War. At the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council, the acting president (Cr Plowman) on the suggestion of Cr Ritchie, spoke with reference to the great crisis in Europe. He said most people recognised the extreme gravity of the situation. The crisis was most grave, and at the present juncture one did not know what might occur. In land battles there could be some sort of prediction, and if a serious disaster occurred to the British fleet, we may have war at our very doors. It behoved them all to be resolute, but not vainglorious. To do their duties as usual, but to feel down in their hearts that if the country called them in any capacity whatsoever, they would respond to the call, and undergo any sacrifice in the interest and defence of their country. (Applause). He himself was, perhaps, too old to go on active service, but all should do their up most to defend our glorious heritage, Australia Felix, and if war came near, they should prepare themselves to assist their country. He felt his words were halting and inadequate, but they were from the soul. No matter what the issue, they would undergo any sacrifice to give a helping hand. He deplored the horrible necessity of war but he felt that in this instance it was a case of necessity. Unless Britain had acted as it did, there would no longer be any strength
in, or respect of, treaties, and if a nation sacrifices her honour as a nation, then every individual in that nation must also have a lower standard of honour. They should give their fullest support to Australia Felix and the Mother Country, who has borne the enormous burden of Empire until recently with practically no assistance. (Applause). Cr Keast said that a most pleasing feature was the fact that their brothers in Ireland, who lately had been trying to get at one another’s throats, had I now sunk their differences, and stand side by side to help the Mother Country. All present then joined in, singing the National Anthem. *** OWING to pressure on our space we have been compelled to hold over till next issue the report of political meeting, a letter giving the views of a Melbourne visitor on last Saturday’s football match, notes from several correspondents, and other interesting items. *** MISS Pearl Smith will recite at the Frankston Choral Concert. *** MISS Eva Young, fra’ Glasga’, humorous reciter is awfu’ Scotch, and will recite “ Wee Tamie Patterson” at the Frankston Choral Concert. *** THE quality of the work done by Mr Earp is proved by the fact that the Festival Choir sing ‘Hiawatha’ in the Melbourne Town Hall on Monday even-
ing, and the Frankston Choral Society sing ‘Hiawatha, at the Mechanics’ on Wednesday next. *** IN spite of his heavy burden of 11s, 1lb, Zephuron ran a splendid race over the long journey of four miles in the Australian Steeple chase of 1750 sovs at Caulfield on Saturday last. The jockey (A. Hawkins) who was substituted for J. P. Edwards, Zephuron’s usual pilot, made a vain effort to hold the chestnut back to his field in the early stages of the race, and possibly the gelding fighting so desperately for his head cost him the race, for jumping magnificently (according to the city papers) Zephuron led from barrier rise to within 500 yards of the winning post. At this point Zephuron was caught by Guncap, and although the gelding responded gamely to the calls of his rider, the weight told, and he could get no nearer than third, which carried 150 sovs as prize money. *** AFTER the ordinary business had been concluded at the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings shire council, Cr Hodgins, who has held the position of president for the past term, handed in his resignation, which was necessary owing to his departure from the district for Tynong. In doing so Cr Hodgins thanked the Councillors for the support they had given him while president. He assured them that it was a hard wrench, not so much at leaving the work, but because he was leaving the Councillors.
They had sat there for years, and he did not think they had a squabble. There had been a few mild hints, but nothing serious. He had accepted an engagement in a town too far away to allow him to attend to his duties as a Councillor, and he felt that when any councillor found that he could not give enough time to council matters he should resign. He was sorry that Crs Griffeth and Murray were not present, so that he could say goodbye to them, and he hoped Cr Griffeth would soon be strong again. He hoped they would all meet again, and if ever at Tynong, they could be sure of a most hearty welcome. Cr Hodgins then left his seat, which was taken by Cr Plowman. Cr Plowman moved that the resignation be accepted with the greatest possible regret. Cr Hodgins had been a Councillor who had attended to his duties in an exemplary way, and as a novice, practically, in council matters, he could speak as others could not of the help he had received from their worthy president of the past year. He deplored his loss as a Councillor, and hoped he would be successful in the future. Cr Keast said he seconded the motion most regretfully. Cr Hodgins had been the best president he had ever sat under - the only one (laughter). Cr Alden said that he was perfectly sure that he did not get on any other way but first rate with Cr Hodgins. He hoped that his new business would prove satisfactory, and that Mr and Mrs Hodgins would enjoy the best of
health and success. Cr Ritchie said that no Councillor could feel more regret than he did at losing Cr Hodgins. Cr Turner, who referred to the retiring president as “the father of the Council,” regretted his departure. He wished him the best of success at Tynong “among the tall trees and wombats.” *** IN Memoriam of Margaret Tuck. Died 14th August, 1910. Although we are parted, Maggie, Only for a while, I feel your absence sadly, and miss your winsome smile. Oft in fancy do I wander, As we did long years ago, And hold our evening tryst Where the sweetest blossoms blow. How changed is that familiar spot, The place I’d scarcely know. No golden wattle blooms In the evening’s sunlight’s glow. The gum trees snowy blossoms no more their fragrance shed, The indigo and native broom, alas, like you, are dead. Our hearts would surely break, In parting with those we love, but for the dew of mercy God is showering from above. I am only lingering here, awaiting his command, Then Maggie I’ll be with you, Away in Spirit land. –H. TUCK. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 August 1914.

To thine own selfie be true
By Stuart McCullough IT’S over. The battle between modesty and narcissism has ended with the latter emerging victorious, fists bloodied but raised and clutching a mobile phone. Doubtless, Narcissus will shortly be posting photos of himself, a triumphant grin slathered across his stupid face, bragging to all of cyberspace about how he vanquished his foe once and for all. Forget about holding anything back or leaving something to the imagination. Give up altogether on wanting to foster a little mystery. The information superhighway is much like an international airport – everything, it seems, must be declared. And in a world of over-sharing, nothing strips away any remaining vestige of mystique quite like a ‘selfie’. Let’s start with the word ‘selfie’. It sounds a lot like ‘wedgie’ and I suspect the similarities don’t end there. Photography is an extraordinary art form. But now, through sheer profligacy, if a picture says a thousand words, at least nine hundred and fifty of them are ‘why?’ The ruthless rise of the selfie has graduated from harmless distraction to the very thing that may bring human civilisation as we know it to come to an end (possibly). It’s as though the great cosmic evolutionary hot rod has been slammed into reverse. Rather than going forwards, the emergence of the selfie seems to be incontrovertible evidence that we, as a species, if not a pool of potential reality television contestants, are heading backwards.
It’s devolution, pure and simple. For those unfamiliar with the concept, devolution (or, if you prefer, ‘deevolution’) is the process by which species regress into more primitive forms. The concept was set out in full in Charles Darwin’s rather unsuccessful sequel, ‘The Origin of Species 2: Electric Boogaloo’. The theory was further developed by a moderately well known musical group the Starland Vocal Band. (I challenge
anyone to sit through ‘Afternoon Delight’ and not conclude that civilisation is unravelling). Devolution was also the central philosophy of the rock group Devo, best known for their song ‘Whip It’ and for wearing plastic flowerpots on their heads. I must now ask the one question I thought I’d never have to answer: were Devo right? Humankind’s determination to dismantle thousands of years of
progress is perhaps best exemplified by the ‘danger’ selfie. This is the self-portrait taken when the person holding the phone ought to be doing something more useful such as ducking or getting out of the way as quickly as possible to avoid catastrophe. Recently, major events such as the Tour de France and – for crying out loud – Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls have been blighted by gurning nitwits risking life and limb just to take their own photo. Taking a selfie is, frankly, downright lazy and a little bit sad. If you were to upload picture of a watercolour or even a grey lead pencil sketch to your facebook page, you’d have my absolute respect. Even if you did a sculpture and the end results were a part human / part amphibian like the one in Lionel Ritchie’s ‘Hello’ video clip I’d still respect you. But, it seems, there’s no app for ‘amphibious sculpture’. Getting your photo taken used to be a special occasion. At my father’s house, photos of earlier generations show them dressed to the nines, tens and elevens with bow ties and long dresses. Even more recently, on the day school portraits were done you had to ensure your tie was straight, shirt tucked in and your hair patted down. I did all these things but needn’t have bothered. Regardless of any effort to groom myself, the results were always dispiriting. I still prefer to blame the entire art of photography than accept the even uglier truth: this is what I look like. I
had then and retain now an uncanny ability to close my eyes at the exact moment a photo is taken. Most photos of me resemble a slightly disassembled Mr Potato Head. Consider this: these unflattering portraits have all been the work of trained professionals; people who have devoted their lives to the study of photography – of light, shape, form and composition. If their best efforts produce an image of someone who looks as though he’s just been dropped from a great height, what chance do I, as an amateur, have of taking a half decent selfie? And it’s here that the bitter truth becomes evident: perhaps this enmity I feel towards the art of the selfie is rooted not in snobbery but in good, old fashioned jealousy. Here’s the rub – I have, from time to time, made several attempts at selfies. Without exception, they have all been disastrous. Accuracy seems to be a significant problem. A stray ear or side burn cannot, strictly speaking, be called a ‘selfie’ at all. Frankly, I am useless at it. This, I feel, explains everything. Maybe the fault is not with others but with me. The world, so it seems, has moved and left me behind. Life is like that. Sadly, there’s no way to cease the march of progress as time moves things ever forward. The only way to capture things exactly as they are and preserve them forever is, ironically, to take a photo. Even a selfie. I think I just might. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance MELBOURNE promoter Dennis Smith pulled off a real scoop with his series of Go!! Show concerts and it appears they are only getting stronger with the latest Go!! Show Golden the 50th Anniversary Tour at the Palais Theatre. It is hard to believe that it is 50 years since the first television Go!! Show went to air. The show produced a new wave of pop stars and in 2011 Dennis Smith decided to get them all together on stage for a Go!! Show reunion across Australia. Dennis recruited the ultimate backing band for the tour which included Musical Director Peter Robinson (Bass) who played in the 60s band The Strangers, Danny Robinson (Backing vocals) lead singer of the 60s band Wild Cherries with Lobby Loyde and the Virgil Brothers. I have been a huge fan of Dan Robinson and loved his vocals on the 1971 Top 20 hit Wild World by session band Fourth House. I would have given anything to hear Danny sing Wild World at the Palais Theatre. I still rate him as one of the finest male singers in this country. Perth’s Johnny Young was the host and also sang his hits. Mike Brady sang his 1965 MPD LTD No.1 hit Little Boy Sad and broke the 60s format to sing his 1979 hit Up There Cazaly which turned out to be a crowd favourite. Bobby Bright (Bobby and Laurie) and minus Laurie Allen who died of a heart attack in 2002 sang their No.1 hit Hitchhiker and with the help of Marcie Jones followed up with I Belong With You. Ronnie Burns has lost none of his great talent singing his hits Exit Stage Right (1967), Age of Consent (1968) and the song written by Johnny Young, Smiley (1969). Ronnie Charles former lead singer with The Groop sang their 1967 hit Woman You’re Breaking and Such a Lovely Way (1969). A humble Buddy England was a clear stand-out singing his 1967 hit Movin’ Man but surprised many with only two songs. Buddy was also a member of The Seekers and The Mixtures at one stage and wrote the Top 40 hit Every Time You Touch Me for Tony Pantano in 1971. Buddy was also the former PR Manager of Astor Records and had singles Doll
House and If I Never Get to Love You. Other performers included Colin Cook, Pussyfoot, Normie Rowe, Tony Worsley, Johnny Young, The Mixtures who re-formed especially for this 2014 Go!! Show tour and played their hits In the Summertime, Pushbike Song and Captain Zero. Marcie Jones and The Cookies (Cook sisters Margaret, Beverley and Wendy) had the crowd on their feet with their fine-tuned harmonies. Marcie has great personality and I enjoy our regular luncheons and chats. Colleen Hewett has lost none of her jest for life and her extraordinary rasp vocals belting out Superstar, Day By Day and as stirring performance of Wind Beneath My Wings which had many reaching for their tissues. Donna Jones AKA Pussyfoot sang her worldwide hit The Way That You Do It and Normie Rowe was a crowd favourite and sang all his hits including Oh La La, Que Sera Sera, Penelope and It Ain’t Necessarily So. The former King of Pop
had more than eight top-10 hits and more than seven Top-20 hits. Johnny Young with Glenn Wheatley did a moving tribute to Jim Keays. Jim passed away June 13, 2014 after a long illness. My highlight was the appearance of Ross D Wylie (pictured). His performance was faultless and his voice has not faltered after all these years as he sang his hits The Star (1969) and Funny Man (1969). The Brisbane born singer was the compere of the TV show ‘Uptight’ and a friend talked Ross into recording the Ray Stevens song Funny Man which went into the Top 20 around Australia followed closely by The Star written by Johnny Young which was a No.1 hit. A hugely successful event. Artists original CDs including greatest hits are available www.aztecrecords.com.au *** IF you believe it, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett will join forces to release a jazz album titled Cheek to Cheek.
The 28-year-old singer and 87-yearold jazz great are long time friends and spent two years recording the album. The first single will be a cover of Cole Porter’s Anything Goes. The album will be released next month. Bennett was one of the singers who emerged before the arrival of rock’n’roll and is continuing beyond it. He was least influenced by the shifts in popular music around him. His debut his was Because of You followed by a cover version of Hank Williams’ Cold Cold Heart, both in 1951. *** HOUSE concerts have become an important part of the Mornington Peninsula with a concert ‘Songwriters in the Round House’ held on Saturday August 16 at Bittern featuring Gretta Ziller, Matt Henry and the popular Weeping Willows. The Weeping Willows, Andrew Wrigglesworth and Laura Coates, are a couple of old souls, steeped in bluegrass tradition and draped in gothic Americana imagery. To Andrew, the acoustic guitar is the object that hangs permanently from his shoulders. He plays it with purpose and authority and it wraps itself around his and Laura’s vocals with warmth and affection, never saying too much or too little. Doors open at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start and the cost is only $15 per person which includes supper. BYO drinks. Numbers are strictly limited for this intimate event; first in best dressed. To book and pay, please contact your host, Jenny Keck on 0410 042 671, or email jennykeck@gmail.com *** THRILLER Live, a spectacular theatrical production now in its record breaking 6th year in London’s West End, was created to celebrate the career of the world’s greatest entertainer, Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five. It’s now coming to Australia for a national tour including Melbourne. A touring company of 45 international and Australian performers, musicians and crew will bring Thriller Live to life in this Australian premiere production.
settling for the pension with no interference; cut down on beer, smokes, petrol. Who to blame? *** The Red Hill Ward by election has some 17 candidates. After years of sleep they’ve woken up? No doubt the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre vote will feature. There’s a rumour the Council is looking at another site across the road from beachside. Do not hold your breath. *** I fondly recall the sharp satire of “Not The 9 o’clock News” on television way back ’79-’82. They sang a song beginning with “I believe”. Classic satire, hilarious, presented by Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Pamela Stephenson and Griff Rhys-Jones (refer:Youtube). Following in this vein I submit new lyrics...”I believe in Kathy Jackson’s HSU good management, I believe in Julie Bishop’s refusal to call the West Bank ‘occupied’, I believe in Matthew Guy’s fairness in banning high rise development in our nicest suburbs, I believe in privatisation, I believe Geoff Shaw is the man for Frankston, I believe Joe Hockey is really an average Joe...but I can’t believe Tony Abbott is our Prime Minister”. Joke? *** Darling Jacqui Lambie. (Forget Ricky Muir-his anonymity is much to our lik-
ing). Jacqui is a breath of fresh air; she has a go. I may not agree with some of her arguable philosophical leanings, but the mix of comedy and pronouncements is good stuff. A touch of theatre, her truth. A debate with Jacqui and Tony would surely be more interesting than Thorpe and Parkinson. The Herald-Sun described Lambie’s comments as sexist, demeaning, ill-advised and just plain rude. No mention of Tony’s behaviour across the table from Lady Julia when in opposition? Go Jacqui. *** “Dole bludgers are turning down jobs and continuing to drain the taxpayer because work they are offered does not suit their lifestyle or they can’t be bothered getting out of bed”. From Renee Viellaris (Herald-Sun). Renee can look forward to a bright future with her newspaper; alternatively as a reporter on A Current Affair. *** Denny Napthine on Geoff Shaw “He needs to show genuine remorse and genuine understanding of what he’s done wrong”. Orchids to loveable Denny for his decision to increase services on the Dandenong and Frankston train lines. Some say this is simply motivation for the upcoming State elections. No fear. Denny is a bonsor bloke. *** Another bonsor is Matty Guy with his
high rise pokey boxes approvals in the CBD. Said Matty on the stolen recording “There are so many questions that remain unanswered by Daniel Andrews and the Labor Party. If Labor looks deceptive and tricky it’s probably because they are. Victorians have a right to keep on asking” There’s questions we’d like to ask you too Matty mate. Mind you, Daniel’s had almost four years to make waves and until now just the odd ripple. State politics can best be described as a tragi-comedy. We have huff and puff Dennis, promising the world ever on the lookout for a stricken horse, and opposite number Daniel consistently giving the impression he’s not running the show, a frontman without any seeable authority. In short, at this particular stage I trust neither of them. *** The Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island is one of the “hot spots” as part of the government’s Tourism 2020 stategy aimed at competitiveness, quality and productivity, and with it many hundreds of jobs within the tourism industry. Hopefully this includes a form of public transport a shade better than our present third world effort.

A Grain of Salt Strange as it may seem to you mysterious invisible readers some have taken the trouble to email me when they perceive they have a point to make, as argument, or simply to say something pleasant. Generally this is nice; a reply, kind regards and so on. In the sweetest possible way however, there’s no point arguing with me. I’m too old to change my mind and being realistic my form of wisdom (for want of a better word) is entrenched. All critical emails should rightfully be addressed to Your Say c/o The Herald-Sun. Alternatively, if your thoughts contain a modicum of wisdom try this newspaper, or the psuedo intelligent newspaper; The Age. *** The 16,500 public sector job cuts announced in the federal budget is something we read about and quickly forget.

I feel for them, particularly living alone, renting, thrust into the abyss; the loss of self respect, particularly fear.

MamaBake a revolution from the kitchen By Karen Swan The concept is simple but unique. Described as a ‘worldwide community of big batch, group cooking, laundry ignoring, Mamas’, MamaBake is essentially groups of locals mums getting together once a week to cook one big batch recipe each. The batch then gets divvied up amongst all the mums at the end of the session and everyone goes home with a few nights worth of home-cooked dinners. There’s also the added benefits of saving time and having a good old gasbag with friends while you cook. Big Batch Recipes So, what qualifies as a ‘big batch recipe‘? As Mama Bake describes, ‘Serves 4′ doesn’t cut it when cooking Mama Bake style. Instead, you’ll find lots of tried and tested recipes on the website that all serve fifteen or more people. The emphasis is on wholesome family favourites from scratch with lots of specialised big batch, allergy friendly recipes too – casseroles, mild curries, soups and lunchbox fillers. Start your own MamaBake Join the movement for FREE to get a free eBook with tips to get your own group started as well as some big batch recipes. More recipes are also available on the MamaBake blog or get access to hundreds of tried and tested MamaBake recipes by joining their Premium Baking Club and via their email newsletter. And if you start your own group, be sure to let them know about it! They love sharing stories of their in-real-life MamaBake groups!

Buds are a real show for finals NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt IN an extraordinary tale of events, Rosebud is a realistic chance to play finals this year after beating Red Hill on Saturday. Despite losing four games by less than a goal this season and being struck down by injury to some key players, the Buds are now just a game outside of the top five with two matches to play. The Buds (111.77 per cent), sit in sixth position and have a superior percentage over Rye (106.37), who currently hold down fifth position. Rosebud face Tyabb this weekend, before finishing the season with a match against Devon Meadows at Olympic Park. Rye tackles Somerville this weekend and finishes with Sorrento at home in the final game of the season. There is no doubt that the season of Rosebud and Rye is going to come down to the final home and away game of the year on August 23. The Buds will be disappointed that they are not playing Devon this weekend, after they lost Troy Aust, Chris Doria, Cal Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare and Brian (Brandon) Wapshott. This is added to the injury of Steve McInnes. Some of these guys might be right for the final round. McInnes and Doria definitely will be. Rosebud was sensational against the Hillmen on Saturday, finally getting away to a good start. The Buds were even with Red Hill at quarter time and led by seven points at half time. The final result was 11.14 (80) to 10.12 (72). Greg Bentley was outstanding for the Buds with a best on ground performance. Tom Baker was strong in attack with three goals and 17-yearold Sean Downie in only his fifth senior game was fantastic with three majors. Lachy Armstrong also played a significant role. Rosebud coach Nick Jewell said his side was a blue collar team that need to compete hard to win matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put four quarters of football together which helped us win the game. We outscored Dromana after quarter time and Sorrento after half time but our first quarters hurt us in these games. We have to play like a blue collar side all day to win,â&#x20AC;? said Jewell. Rosebud is almost at full strength with Bentley over his soft tissue injuries (he has played only seven games this season), Ryan Spooner (shoulder) getting confidence and Armstrong up and going after spending six weeks overseas. Asked about his sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals chances, Jewell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of work to doâ&#x20AC;?. Marcus Dal Lago was named Red Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best player while Josh Mold and Matt Mitchell in his first game worked tirelessly.

Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said he knew it was a danger game for his side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a coach you just get those gut feelings and I could just sense that we were a bit down before the game,â&#x20AC;? Blackford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fought it out well but Rosebud had a lot to play for today and they played with a real intensity all day. Bentley was just sensational and proved why he is arguably the best player in the competition.â&#x20AC;? Hastings caused one of the upsets of the season when it kicked the last goal of the game to beat Sorrento. After Sorrento hit the front for the first time with two minutes left on the clock, the Blues responded with Luke Hewitt putting the home team back in front. Sorrentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Schwarze had an opportunity to win the game for his side in the dying seconds but missed his shot at goal and handed the Blues an unlikely victory. The Blues kicked with the aid of the wind in the first quarter and got away to a flier, leading by 16 points at the first change. They led by six points at half
time and by 16 points again at three quarter time. Good kicking at goal certainly helped them win the match, finishing with 13.3 (81) to 11.13 (79). Grant Masterson showed once again how great he can be with four goals while Josh Mulheron and Steve Robb were superb. Leigh Poholke booted three for the Blues while Troy Schwarze and Dave Lawson were named as their best players. Devon Meadows got jumped on the weekend and despite hitting the front in the last quarter, were beaten by four points at the hands of Somerville. While the Panthers had their chances to win the game, it was the first quarter (6.7 to .0.3) that hurt them in the end. After the first break, the visitors booted 11.14 to Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7.2. The Eagles got the chocolates though and once again proved that their best is extremely good and hard to stop. Adrian Ridout, who booted 18 goals in three appearances, was not in the side on Saturday. However, Ben Sedgewick played forward and booted three goals, while Jedd Suton, Steven Croe and
Justin Farrelly were at their best. Jack Bow kicked four for the panthers and Craig Thorne, Billy Hayes and Stef Baumgartner were named in their best players. The Panthers are likely to unearth another debutant this week in light of the injuries they sustained on Satrday. Dromana chopped up Frankston Bombers on Saturday, winning 24.20 (164) to 6.12 (48). The Bombers have been brave this season but they were simply no match for the class of the Tigers on Saturday. Anthony Bruhn put on a show with eight goals while Jae Williams played his best senior game ever across half forward with four majors. In more good news for the Tigers, Dan Gormley was back to his best and Adam Coyle and Toby Banks found plenty of the pill. Mitch Bosward, Jay Reynolds and Duncan Proud were again among the best for the Bombers while Ben Simmons was also very good. Crib Point is two games clear on top of the table and will finish the season minor premiers after smashing Rye. The Magpies started well and led by 12 points at quarter time and cut
the game open in the second and third quarters, booting ten goals to four. Rye rallied in the last but it was still a 15.5 (95) to 9.9 (63) victory to the Magpies. Glen Boyd was outstanding with seven majors while Luke Herrington starred again with three. Jake Bromley was also back to his best in a run with role. Ben Winters-Kerr and Jake Semmel, along with Ben Cain, were named Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best. Pearcedale had to work hard to get the four points against Tyabb, winning 13.13 (91) to 9.16 (70). The Dales set up the win with a five goal to two third quarter with the wind and led by 37 points at the final change. Jake Anderson was brilliant for the Yabbies with five goals while Craig Conlan and Ash Souter were also among their best. Dylan Hoare kicked five for the Dales while Trav Sauer and Ben Mitchell collected the top votes. Troy Jacobson has also finished the season extremely well.

Stonecats smash Doggies in surprise PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW humiliated Mornington in front of their own crowd to win by more than ten goals in the Peninsula League match of the round on Saturday. Inaccuracy saved Mornington from further humiliation, the Stonecats dominating from the first bounce to have 35 scoring shots to just 11. The Stonecats had an even spread of contributors, which went a long way to the 14.21 (105) to 6.5 (41) victory. Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers said when his side got their hands on the footy and started to win it, they were able to gain control and dictate terms. “All of the good sides are hard to stop when this takes place,” said Mathers. Unlike last week against Edithvale, the visitors were able to get control pretty quickly against the Dogs. David Bodley booted five goals for the winners, while Jackson Calder was the only multiple scorer for the Dogs. Mathers was keen to square the ledger against the Dogs, who beat them earlier in the season. “We don’t want to go into the finals playing against a side we haven’t beaten in the home and away season. We certainly don’t want to be giving them (Mornington) any confidence going into finals,” said Mathers. Ricky Morris has been a welcome addition in the past couple of weeks for YCW, while Byron Barry and Josh Westerman were back on the weekend. Ben Buckley and Dale Carroll are still a couple of weeks away. “We have good depth at the moment and it places internal pressure to keep your spot, which is important,” Mathers said. Mathers said despite the easy victory, the top four sides are evenly matched. “There’s nothing between them and you have to be on from the first bounce in every match. I’m not discounting Mt Eliza, however, it’s just the top four sides have a better win/loss than Mt Eliza and they have two more rounds to prove themselves,” Mathers said. Prove themselves they tried, however, MT Eliza was not good enough to beat Bonbeach, going down 12.10 (82) to 13.12 (90). The Redlegs were in front at half time and trailed by just two points at three quarter time, before Bonbeach kicked 3.4 to 2.4 in the last. Bonbeach coach Stevey Capp said before the game that it was going to be a tough one. “They are close to having their best side in now and with Scott Lockwood up front, they can be hard to stop,” said Capp. Lockwood booted six goals while Sam Gill and Karl Lombardozzi were significant contributors for the Redlegs. Bonbeach rely on a spread. “We have had to rely on an even spread to kick goals this season. We
See or instore fns donatio bin
haven’t had one forward to rely on to kick goals each week so we have to rely on everyone to chip in,” said Capp. On Saturday, Matt Clifford bobbed up for five majors while ruckman Dylan Jones was handy in attack with three goals. Paul Rebeschini was arguably the best player on the ground. Jackson Casey was outstanding again. “Jackson Casey has added a midfield role to his game and at such a young age, he’s becoming one of the best in the competition,” said Capp. “Shane McDonald is spending about 70 per cent of his time through the middle now and is starting to get up and going again after coming back from his broken arm. “It was really good for us to have another finals-type match so close to the business end of the season,” said Capp. Karingal won its first game of the season on Saturday, dominating for most of the afternoon to beat Chelsea. The Bulls were helped in their victory by former Port Adelaide
star and Richmond assistant coach Brendon Lade returning, while favourite son Bevan Malloy returned for a cameo performance. Lade finished with two goals and Malloy was the best player on the ground. Grant Goodall also dominated the ruck for the Bulls, Aaron Paxton was superb with three goals and George Angelopolous and Tom Wilkinson starred, as they have done for most of the season. It was just reward for the Bulls, who have experienced a tough year. It was wonderful for Michael Burke, who put his hand up to coach for the remainder of the season. Todd Gardiner was the best of the Gulls, who are once again experiencing tough times. Chelsea has already been on the phone sounding out prospective coaches for next season. Paul Howroyd is in his first season at Chelsea, replacing Paul Grybis, who had the job for one year. Prior to the Mornington game, Chelsea coach Paul Howroyd told the
club he would not be coaching next season. However, he was buoyed by the performance of his team against the Dogs and is now rethinking his future with the club. “We have a lot of injuries and there are a lot of Under 18s in the side, which is great for the long term future of the club but tough right now,” said Howroyd. “The club and I had a hiccup before the Mornington game but after that, I had a lot of people come up to me and encourage me to keep going. “I think the club and I need to sit back at the end of the season and take a deep breath. “I’ll be coaching next year but not sure where at this stage,” said Howroyd. It seems the club has already taken its breath and have been talking to prospects for next season already. Pines coach Steve Ryan said Pines had not beaten Seaford in his entire time with the club, as a player and as a coach. On Saturday, in his second last game
as coach of the club, he celebrated an 18.13 (121) to 10.17 (77) victory. Shaun White booted five goals, Guy Hendry four and Jimmy Messina and Chris Guganovic starred. “We’ve been smashed most times we go there,” said Ryan. In more exciting news for the Pythons, they expect to name their new coach when finals begin. “We have three or four we are looking at and are hoping to announce one before finals begin, depending on what role those individuals might have at that time of the year,” said Ryan. In the final game, Langwarrin kept its slim finals hopes alive with a great win over Edithvale-Aspendale. The Eagles had their strongest side in for the season, however, the Kangas were able to do the job away from their home deck. Matt Dimkos was the difference between the sides with five goals while Matt Naughton rucked for the entire game and took the honours. Michael Kremmer was the best of the Eagles, while Nick Connellan booted three goals.
