Amanda makes silver debut

28th August

ROSEBUD High School’s Amanda Thomas isn’t someone to mess with: the 17-year-old Year 12 student has just placed second in her division at the Australian Karate Federation National Titles in Perth. Her sensei, Andrew Grace, of Peninsula Karate School in Rosebud, is thrilled with the result as it is only Amanda’s first time in national competition after six years training at the school. She earned her title bid, too, having qualified in various tournaments to represent Victoria in the junior female aged 16-17 up to 59kg category. Mr Grace said karate taught selfdiscipline, confidence, respect for others, fitness and motor skills. Training at the traditional karate school consists of punches and blocks through a kata - or pattern of pre-determined moves. Progression through the various coloured belts consists of training in progressive katas. The school – in Thamer St, Rosebud – has been running for seven years with Mr Grace in charge for three. It has 100 students aged from four to 60-plus.

The other major upset followed a decision by the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group to invite fewer than half the 17 candidates to address its members. The group’s chairman David Maddocks said on Thursday that the group had decided that candidates from within the ward were more likely to “have a better idea of the issues”. “We were trying to sort some wheat from the chaff,” he said. However, Red Hill ward resident and council candidate Barbara Porter was left off the invitation list while Kylie Greer, who lives outside the ward at Arthurs Seat, was invited to attend.

JackanAndy’s after a decade of donations A POPULAR op shop in Melbourne Rd Sorrento is celebrating its 10th birthday. JackanAndy’s started in the old Health Centre building in Kerferd Rd, Sorrento on 1 September 2004 supported by the Anglican Parish of St John’s Sorrento and St Andrew’s Rye. Money earned was used to fund the churches’ outreach programs, such as food for needy families, counselling services, music and storytelling for mothers and toddlers. A year later the shop moved to larger premises at 848 Melbourne Rd. called The White House where it prospered. It has a Chandelier Room for fine china, glassware and gifts, Clothing Boutique for fashion, Library for book purchases as well as a Craft and Manchester Department. The sorting room - Avalanche Corner – is where bags of donations, particularly in peak summer holidays, can reach the ceiling. Volunteers call themselves the White House Staff as it’s a whole house of op shop. Now well known, JackanAndy’s has been able to donate more of its earnings directly to local community causes. “Customers, particularly regulars,

Trash to treasure: JackanAndy volunteers Di Holland, Kim De Heer, Bev Baker, Rhonda Fitzjohn, Dorothy Thomas, Chris Bowers and Ian Bowers. Picture: Yanni

appreciate the shop as a welcoming point of community contact and a source of bargains,” committee member Rhonda Fitzjohn said. “They enjoy a warm haven in winter and say how relaxing it is to browse through the china, glassware, jewellery, clothes and books - all clean and in good repair. In the rush of summer, it is a cool destination for a chat with volunteers.” Donors like to recycle worthwhile

household articles for a good cause, and volunteers enjoy the friendship and satisfaction of helping the community. The shop makes yearly donations to Rye, Tootgarook and Sorrento primary schools for special needs programs. It sponsors children’s holidays at Portsea Camp, transport for cancer patients of Sister Carmel’s, and Peninsula Hospice. Others to benefit are the Rosebud Hospital, local fire brigades, surf

lifesaving clubs, Rosebud Secondary College and many other organisations. Ten years of anecdotes paint an interesting picture of life at the popular op. shop where some unexpected treasures have been found: An inconsequential looking stone pot - bought for $6 - was revealed as an old scrimshaw carving on a whale tooth. It now resides in the Tasmanian Museum. A pair of World War I gaiters was bought by a browser for her grandfa-

ther. He donated them to the Beechworth RSL Museum to fill a gap in their collection. Selected children’s books have been purchased and sent to remote indigenous communities and also taken to Cambodian schools. One of the shop’s earliest and strangest donations was a gigantic fibreglass marlin bought for fish and chip shop. On another occasion, a collection of gold watches was valued in the city, with op shop staff eager to hear the result. Unfortunately they were “excellent imitations”. Bikes can prove interesting, too. A customer chained a new bike to the gate, then forgot it and walked home. After a week, volunteers delivered it to the police station from where it was safely returned home. Another bike was left outside by a child – only to be sold by an enthusiastic volunteer. It had to be retrieved to quell the tears. During the Christmas holiday season a used brown paper bag containing $10 was stuck under the front door. A scribbled message said: “We carried off the couch and table. Needed them for our party. Owe you $5.” A week later the boys returned to pay their money and “Yes, it was a good party”. Stephen Taylor

CEO’s job to be advertised David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au Shire CEO Michael Kennedy will apply to get his job back after councillors decided Monday last week in a shock decision to advertise his position rather than to reappoint him. In an email to staff the day after the councillors’ decision, Dr Kennedy wrote: “I firmly believe that I am the very best person for the role of shire CEO.” Councillors made their decision after what is believed to have been a long and at times bitter meeting. Sources say that only three of the 10 councillors at the meeting voted to reappoint Dr Kennedy for another term. He has been CEO for 15 years. The ‘special’ Special Purposes Committee Meeting to discuss his future began at 5pm and adjourned just before 7pm for the scheduled council meeting. In question time at that meeting the mayor Cr Antonella Celi said she had received two questions related to “a confidential matter under council dis-

cussion. I just wish to advise that a formal statement will shortly [be] released in regard to these questions,” she told the meeting. At least one of the questions sought information on the outcome of councillors’ discussions about the CEO’s future. Councillors reconvened to continue these discussions after the brief council meeting. The shire media release about the councillors’ decision on the CEO was emailed at 10.21am the next day. It was followed 17 minutes later by Dr Kennedy’s email to staff, addressed to “Team-mates”, of his intention to run for the job, for which he currently earns some $350,000 annually. Dr – then Mr – Kennedy was hired as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999. He was reappointed in 2004, 2008 and 2012, with controversy surrounding the 2004 and 2008 reappointments. Concern was also expressed about the 2012 reappointment, many in the community feeling the market should be tested to see what calibre of ap-

plicant might be attracted to the job, which pays more than most state premiers get. The 2008 concern culminated in an Ombudsman’s inquiry in 2009, sparked by community complaints about the reappointment process, especially that of 2004. Then Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer found the reappointment was lawful. But he criticised the shire’s handling of requests made under freedom of information law. He recommended changes in how the shire dealt with FOI applications and urged counselling for then corporate support manager Noel Buck and for Dr Kennedy. Mr Buck was counselled; Dr Kennedy was not. The councillors’ decision last Monday not to reappoint but to advertise the CEO’s job came at a crucial moment, with councillor numbers tied five-all in the 11-member chamber (one position is vacant) and the possibility that the issue could go down to the casting vote of the meeting chair, Cr David Garnock.

Red Hill ward has had no councillor since Frank Martin retired in May this year because of illness. His replacement will be known on 23 August when the current ward byelection result is known. Had last Monday’s decision been to reappoint Dr Kennedy, 62, it could have been short-lived. It could have been overturned after the byelection had the new councillor opposed the decision to reappoint. Many of the 17 Red Hill ward byelection candidates had indicated they oppose reappointment. It is believed this argument was put with some force to councillors last Monday, its proponents arguing council would look foolish were they to make a decision knowing it almost certainly would be reversed two weeks or so later. Section 94 of the Local Government Act provides that councils can resolve to reappoint their CEO but must then advertise that intention, with a 14-day wait before they ratify the decision – or not. That 14 days would have expired af-

ter the byelection result, meaning the new Red Hill ward councillor would have taken his or her place in the chamber. More broadly, the new councillor could change the council balance of power by joining one group of five on a number of crucial issues, including whether to build the contentious, expensive Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the Rosebud foreshore – or to build it at all. The groups comprise councillors Lynn Bowden, Graham Pittock, Bev Colomb, Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers on one side and David Gibb, Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, Antonella Celi and David Garnock on the other. Frank Martin belonged to the Gibb group, giving it a 6-5 majority on crucial issues such as the SPA and reappointment of the CEO. While it is early to speculate on a new CEO, it is highly likely that the new chief, or a reappointed Dr Kennedy, will embark on a program of comprehensive and wide-reaching changes to the shire.

The peninsula stands alone for planning IT’S now official, the Mornington Peninsula is to be treated differently to metropolitan Melbourne when it comes to planning. The state government on Friday released a new Mornington Peninsula planning statement to “ensure” that the peninsula will be “protected for future generations”. “The peninsula will be planned as an area of special character, with a role clearly distinct from and complementary to metropolitan Melbourne,” Mornington MP David Morris said. “The peninsula is one of Melbourne's greatest assets, with areas of national and international conservation significance, and a substantial and diverse local economy.” Mr Morris chaired the governmentappointed committee that prepared the draft statement. Also on the committee were the then mayor Cr Lynne Bowden, Flinders Ratepayers’ Association president Ranald McDonald, Andrew Lovelock of PG Speedie and Associates, shire CEO Michael Kennedy and other council officers. Mr Morris said the “protecting” the peninsula was “critical for the local community [and] … the wider metropolitan region”. “As an area near to a rapidly growing metropolitan area there are increasing pressures and demands being placed on the peninsula,” he said. “The new policy will guide decisionmaking by every government department, public authority, and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.” The new planning rules provided the

peninsula with “clear policy direction” which will: n Recognise, maintain and enhance its special values; n Appreciate the existing diversity and delicate balance of land-use which has been carefully planned over a long period; n Provide for a clear separation of the peninsula from metropolitan Mel-

bourne, prevent expansion of the metropolitan area onto the peninsula, and maintain the current settlement patterns; n Express planning priorities for the peninsula which are different from and complementary to those which apply in other areas; n Integrate environmental, social and economic considerations; and

n Support a strong land-use planning framework, providing certainty for landowners and the community over time. "The development of a local planning statement has long been an ambition of mine,” Mr Morris, a former president of the former Shire of Mornington, said. “The election of a Coalition govern-

ment in 2010 gave me the opportunity to carry the proposition forward, in conjunction with Mornington Peninsula Shire and the peninsula community. "This planning statement builds on the work undertaken by the council as part of its Plan Peninsula process.” Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the new planning scheme “has been an election commitment of mine since the late 1990s”. “This peninsula planning scheme will finally put the environmental and community protections in place that the peninsula has been long seeking and urgently requires,” Mr Dixon said. The mayor Cr Antonella Celi sees the announcement of the new planning policy as a “monumental moment in the history of the Mornington Peninsula”. The planning policy would help to protect “the things we value the most” about the peninsula. “Our residents appreciate the peninsula as it is, they support appropriate development and new opportunities, but want to ensure the special look, feel and ambience of the peninsula the things that make us different from suburban Melbourne - are well protected,” Cr Celi said. “As Melbourne’s population rapidly accelerates towards eight million by 2051, the peninsula will continue to play a range of complementary roles in tourism, recreation, agriculture and manufacturing, but our community is clear that we are not suburbia, and don’t want to be.” Keith Platt

Carers fear time’s running out FAMILY carers at the ‘Balancing the Scales’ disability forum in Mornington were concerned that the National Disability Insurance Scheme won’t help them before they die. The ground-breaking NDIS reforms of June 2013 were designed to provide support for the 410,000 people with a significant disability - or who acquire one in their lifetime - by 2020. But the length of time it is taking to implement its reforms – with many peninsula families in their late 70s and 80s-plus caring for children in their late 40s and 50s and with some caring for a spouse as well – means their future is not bright. “There’s hope for the future for the lucky few in NDIS trial sites, but fear for other families who are ‘parked’ on crisis waiting lists for essential sup-

port,” Community Lifestyle Accommodation secretary Marie Hell said. “The important question is, what will happen before the full roll out of the NDIS to alleviate the struggle that caring families are going through to support a family member with a mental illness and a significant intellectually disability in Victoria?” she asked. Keynote speaker at the forum was Bruce Bonyhady, chair of the National Disability Insurance Agency. He told 200 guests at the Peninsula Community Theatre on 31 July that: n The main aim of the NDIS was to provide reasonable and necessary support to people with disabilities - whether they have intellectual, physical or mental disabilities - to enable them and their families to build ordinary lives and be part of their communities, and

n The agency is encouraging partner-

ships with groups to meet the urgent demand for housing, and that a housing paper would be released by NDIA soon, with the full roll out of the scheme in 2019-2020. The forum was organised by carer groups Community Lifestyle Accommodation, Peninsula Carer Council supported by Carers Victoria, Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centre, After-Care and Hill Legal. It was opened by Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi. Carers and service providers from 54 organisations, politicians and community discussed the need to work towards meeting the “enormous challenges facing people with disability, people with a mental illness and their carers”.

Carers highlighted the urgent need to address deficits in long term supported accommodation for older children of ageing carers, and the chronic shortage of good quality accommodation for those with a disability and mental illness. It is known that many homeless prefer to sleep “rough” to avoid the challenges of rooming house accommodation. Many parents and carers of disabled or mentally ill adult children would go to any lengths to keep them off the streets or in boarding houses. Other points raised by carers were the lack of accountability by some service providers; that more trained staff are required to support people with mental illness and disability; that more support is needed for carers who feel ‘abandoned’ by the system, and that

there is a need for service providers to support carer families working with those with a disability or mental health challenge. “How many more people with a mental illness on the peninsula have to take their own life, leaving family and friends shattered? Do our leaders care?” secretary of the Peninsula Carer Council Aline Burgess said. Adding that she could not get a “straight” answer. “How many ageing carers have to live in fear of dying, not being able to place their loved one in a caring environment before they die? Are they not entitled to enjoy their twilight years?” Ms Hell said older carers were asking: “Will older families be driven to murder/suicide as reported in the Productivity Commissions report 2011?”

Blaze is a howling success TWELVE-week old Dingo pup Blaze, pictured above, is fast becoming a hit with visitors to Moonlit Sanctuary in Tyabb-Tooradin Rd, Pearcedale. She and brother Scorch are star attractions of the wildlife sanctuary’s Dingo Puppy Adventure, where visitors are able to play with the pair. “They are absolutely adorable; they just love everyone,” the sanctuary’s Lisa Tuthill said. But, being nocturnal, they like to spend most of their days sleeping and their nights on the prowl. “They stayed at my place from seven weeks and howled all night,” she recalled. That’s not a problem now as the pups stay at the sanctuary overnight. Blaze and Scorch are the new generation of dingoes, sharing their home with Ember, 14, and offspring Jagga and Dizzie, both 13. Dingoes are related to Asian wolves, and so are wild animals not domestic pets. They were once common throughout Australia, but today pure dingoes are considered endangered. For $20 a person, up to five people at a time can play with the puppies for 15 minutes at noon and 3pm. Bookings are advised. Details: Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, call 5978 7935.

Shire awards for heritage projects STONEMASONS Bruce McComb and son Lachlan have won praise for their high standard trade skills at the Sorrento Golf Club and for restoring the Fenton Grave at Mornington Cemetery. And Conservation and Landscape Management student Sean Edwards, of education provider Franklyn Scholar, received a sustainability/greening of a heritage place award for environmental works at Endeavour Fern Gully, Red Hill. The three received their 2014 Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards from Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi and National Trust Board chairman Dr Graeme Blackman OAM last week. “Preserving the skills needed to restore and retain buildings of heritage significance, especially the craft of stonemasonry, well into the future is important,” Cr Celi said. “The craftsmanship of Bruce and Lachlan shows how passing on these skills from father to son ensures that this specialised work continues to be available for carrying out heritage works in a professional way.” The awards recognise those who have demonstrated excellence in retention, restoration and reuse of heritage places on the Mornington Peninsula. “I congratulate all of the nominees and the winners of the 2014 Awards, and am impressed with the projects and the dedication and specialist skills of the people involved with preserving our heritage on the Mornington Peninsula.” The shire has recently completed a review of heritage places in the Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha.

National Trust Mornington Peninsula president Judy Walsh said this year’s awards were remarkable in their diversity. “It’s very rewarding to see the younger generation involved in heritage conservation in its various aspects including buildings, landscapes, cemeteries, gardens and objects,” she said. “Get out and visit these fantastic projects around the peninsula, and see the hard work and skilled craftsmanship that’s made these projects something our community can be proud of.” Other award winners were: Restoration of a heritage place: St John the Evangelist Anglican Church Flinders – extensive conservation works to church building. Heritage interpretive signage: Mornington & District Historical Society – football disaster memorial signage, The Esplanade, Mornington, and new interpretive signage at Fenton Grave. Sustainability/greening of a heritage place: BERG (Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group) in recognition of heritage conservation and associated environmental and educational work. Creative reuse of a heritage place: Merricks general store for transforming its 1920s building into a modern restaurant while retaining the character and fabric of the original building; also Rosebud Pet Vet for creative reuse of a post war residence into a modern veterinary surgery while retaining the integrity of the original building. Specialist heritage trade skills: Michael James, stone mason, at Sorrento Golf Club. Individual award: Sally Robins, Mornington Peninsula Shire local history network coordinator, for the concept and production of the Heritage Trail brochure.

PLATFORMS on the Frankston line are being fitted with ramps so people with mobility aids such as wheelchairs and motorised scooters can board trains more easily. And ‘no-cyclist’ signs will be painted on platforms to prevent bike riders boarding the front of the first carriage and taking up all the space. The idea for this came from Patterson Lakes’ resident Bill Walstab at the Kingston Cabinet in November. He joined Carrum MP Donna Bauer and Transport Minister Terry Mulder last week to inspect the first ramp at Carrum station. “The ramps will give mobility aid users greater freedom and confidence to travel on public transport without feeling like they are holding up hundreds of people while they board or alight,” Mr Walstab said. The $4.5 million project will allow wheelchair and other mobility-aid users to enter the first door of the first carriage of trains unassisted, giving them greater independence. They are being funded as part of the $115 million Bayside Rail Project. “The new ramps will provide a terrific boost to the independence and accessibility of people in the community with special needs,” Mr Mulder said. Their rubberised ‘finger’ neatly covers the gap between the platform and the carriage. Ms Bauer said the wheelchair stencil and signage would be progressively rolled out to other lines on metropolitan and regional rail networks. “This roll out will help make sure that the first carriage is reserved for people who really need it,” Ms Bauer said.

“The boarding ramps will also assist with the punctual running of trains, as drivers will less often need to exit the cabin to assist passengers.”

New lighting for taxi rank NEW solar-powered lighting has been installed in the car park adjacent to Frankston’s “safe taxi rank” at the corner of Young and Davey streets. The federal government provided $112,500 for the safety initiative while council chipped in $15,000 for the installation of the eight solar-powered LED lighting towers and a drinking fountain. Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor said the upgrade was an “enormous improvement” to the area and would help improve safety for patrons waiting for taxis at night. “Whether people are waiting for a taxi or returning to their cars after a night at a local restaurant or the Frankston Arts Centre, they will feel safer and be more visible to police and the night-time security staff who operate at the safe taxi rank on weekends and public holidays.”

Jobs crisis deepens

No fire from footy Dragons NEW Zealand gave China a good old-fashioned spanking in their AFL International Cup match at the Linen House Centre, Seaford, on Wednesday. The Chinese Dragons didn’t trouble the scorer losing to the New Zealand Hawks 28.25 (193) to nil. The Dragons must have gone into the match with some confidence. They are three-time Cup participants and all their players completed a season in the South China Australian Football League. For the first time, the team had a thorough selection process for players as well as a pre-tournament camp. None of this was much use against the Hawks, however, who demonstrated their status as an elite team in the AFL New Zealand high performance program. Their young players have dominated the NZ club and provincial competitions, with several on the radar of AFL clubs. The Hawks have a strong history at the International Cup, winning in 2005 and with many players in cup campaigns in 2008 and 2011.

Goals (all New Zealand) went to Morton 9, Mundell 3, Inglis 3, Toomer 2, Clark 2, BakerThomas 2, M. Gregson, W.Gregson, Christensen, Johnson, McKenzie, Benny, Van Wijk Best players: New Zealand: Howison, Morton, Smith, Mundel, Inglis, Toomer China: Z. Chen, Zhang, Deng, Zheng, S. Chen, F. Yang AFL head of development Grant Williams said the International Cup – played between 18 men’s and seven women’s teams - celebrated the passion those outside of Australia have for the game. “There are 100,000 international participants throughout the world who share our love of Australian football,” he said. “IC14 brings together the best 900 players from 18 countries. It’s colourful and exciting.” Expatriate Australians are ineligible to play in the International Cup. Teams are made up of amateurs who must be nationals of the country they represent. Players must have lived most of their lives - between the ages of 10 and 16 – in that country. Stephen Taylor

RISING unemployment combined with welfare cuts and increased household costs are pushing more and more Frankston Mornington Peninsula families into financial crisis, especially within marginalised pockets of the region. Latest jobless figures show Frankston and the southern peninsula are two the country’s worst affected regions, with unemployment hitting as much as 8.2 per cent compared to a national rate of 6.4 per cent, while . And rapidly rising unemployment is only half the story – it is also taking people much longer time to find work, with the average duration of jobseeker registration now 25 months. The overall jobless rate for the combined Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region climbed to 7.1 per cent in July, on par with the state-wide average. However, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show the situation is far worse within certain areas of the region, with the jobless rate in Frankston’s central, north and western regions more than double that of other zones. ABS data shows unemployment in the western region of Frankston had climbed to 8.2 per cent, compared to 5.9 per cent in the city’s east, while the rate for the north western sector of the peninsula was just 3.2 per cent compared to 7.1 per cent for the southern peninsula. Welfare agencies fear residents within these pockets of poverty will face a growing struggle finding secure work due to an ever shrinking supply of low and semi-skilled jobs. Low-income families will also be particularly hard hit by welfare cuts and tough new Centrelink payment qualification rules. Welfare groups say they are already struggling to keep up with demand and won’t be able to bridge the gap caused welfare cuts, such as the axing on the Schoolkids Bonus and Family Tax Benefit B and forcing single parents off the pension when their youngest child reach six. Of particular alarm is the situation confronting

young people, with youths not only facing unemployment rates of almost double that of older residents, but also having to content with tough new Centrelink regimes, including having to apply for 40 jobs a month and being cut off payments altogether for six months at a time. The Victorian Council of Social Service said the worsening unemployment rate was “alarming” and warned community organisations were not able to keep up. “Community sector organisations are already stretched beyond capacity delivering basic emergency financial relief to thousands of Victorians who thought they would never need it,” VCOSS CEO Emma King said. The effects of prolonged high unemployment on the community was likely to be “profound”, she said. “Unless we bring together community, business and government to develop a comprehensive workforce participation plan and begin to re-orient our economic development towards employment-intensive growth, the effects on our community will be devastating.” One of the region’s leading community service providers, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, warned of a “generational crisis” created by long-term youth unemployment. “For young people caught up in this jobless spiral this can be a road to long-term poverty and reliance on welfare,” Brotherhood of St Laurence executive director Tony Nicholson said. “'We know youth unemployment has a profoundly scarring effect on young people that will hurt their life chances, including the prospect of even holding down a job further down the track.” Business leaders agreed, warning urgent government action was needed to address growing unemployment. Recently appointed Business Council of Australia president Catherine Livingstone said youth unemployment was “one of the greatest national priorities for government and business to tackle”.

Countdown to poll Continued from Page 1

Mr Eustace said the consultative group had “certainly not been thinking of the best interests of the residents of the Red Hill ward by not considering other candidates”. After hearing from the seven invited candidates the consultative group placed Tim Wood at the top of its preference list followed by Kerry Watson and Mark Fancett. Members of the consultative group are drawn from community groups from Flinders, Somers, Shoreham, Balnarring Beach, Cape Schanck and Red Hill. Following the group’s meeting Christine Haydon used the PEN-X delivery system to let people know the group’s “objective was to choose 1 candidate to recommend and support to the various represented groups … if you are a voter please consider Tim Wood”. Peninsula Exchange (PEN-X), is effectively an “electronic post office” used to share information by many peninsula community groups and individuals. PEN-X chair, Peter Avery, said it had been “totally incorrect” of The News to say Ms Haydon represented PEN-X. “There was no representative from PEN-X at that meeting and in fact PEN-X is an email distribution hub only and therefore takes no part in any community meeting activities.” The News did not name Ms Haydon in its report. Mr Maddocks said Ms Haydon had attended the meeting representing the shire-wide group, Peninsula Speaks. “Organisations representing any community groups in the ward are entitled to come,” he said.

Mr Maddocks said meetings were not open to individuals, “only to people representing a group, organisation or incorporated body” operating within the Red Hill ward. He said Ms Haydon was “entitled to choose her way of communicating” the outcome of the meeting. “We don’t control people,” he said. “Christine was entitled to only mention one candidate [in her PEN-X emails], although it’s not something that we would necessarily have condoned. “We’re trying to help people, not trying to exclude people.” Ms Haydon did not return calls from The News. Mr Maddocks said he had invited Kylie Greer to speak without realising she did not live within the ward. “She lives one street out of the boundary of the ward; it may have been an error on our part.” Mr Maddocks said there would not have been enough time to adequately assess each of the 17 candidates. “Members of the group are entitled to invite whoever they want. “We’re a bunch of people, very good people, respected in the community because of the work they do.” n Voters in Red Hill ward have until 6pm Friday to return their completed ballot paper and avoid a fine. Votes that do not reach the Returning Officer by this time cannot be counted. “If it’s getting too late to return completed ballot material by post, voters can deliver it in person,” returning officer Julie Allan said. The election office is at Shop 13, 143 Point Nepean Rd, Dromana.

Champion of champions: Pt Leo paddler Chris Clarke in action in the 1.5km sprint at Flinders.

Local knowledge helps SUP racers A DOWNWIND race that started with a boat ride, and a Sawtooth SUP (stand-up paddle board) race that combined downwind and surfing, were two highlights in a weekend of racing in the waters on both sides of the Mornington Peninsula on 9 and 10 August. In its third year, the Surftech SUP Winter Classic attracted competitors from Victoria and NSW, including local paddlers Heath Meldrum, Matt Nottage and brothers Chris and Nick Clarke. Using his local knowledge, Chris, of Pt Leo, won the champion of champions trophy, winning the Sawtooth and SUP-X races and placing sixth in the 10 kilometre downwind and fourth in the 1.5km sprint. Organisers were hoping for winds from the north west, south or south west for the 10 kilometre downwind

race on the Saturday. But, with a northerly, they had to change their plans and at short notice, Phil Stephens, of Sorrento-based fishing charter RIP Charters, agreed to take the paddlers out into Port Phillip for the downwind race start. More than 30 paddlers started from Mud Island and finished at Rye. Nottage, a local paddler training in Queensland, was first ahead of prone paddler Zeb Walsh (who is in training to defend his Catalina Classic title in the US), followed by Meldrum and Harry Lee. The Clarke brothers were next with Nick beating Chris across the line. Hot on their heels was Terrene Black, the 2013 Molokai female champion. Sunday’s events moved to Western Port, off Flinders. An overnight wind change provided good conditions for

the short-course races, including the inaugural Sawtooth event, which required paddlers to race from Flinders to Shoreham and negotiate five of the area’s surf breaks along the way. Winner Chris Clarke showed local knowledge by finishing the six kilometre run in just under 33 minutes. Black, of NSW, was the first woman across the line. Grant Hardiman, of NSW, took out the 1.5km sprint ahead of Nick Clarke and Steve Ferguson, with Black completing a clean sweep of the women’s divisions. Before the final event, the kids took to the water for a three-race series. Nathaniel Clarke, of Flinders, took out the boys’ division and Coco Barrett, of Blairgowrie, won the girls.

JUST BECAUSE Group ‘horrified’ WE’RE CLOSED at servo works DOESN’T MEAN WE’RE CLOSED! AN ENVIRONMENT group is “horrified” that excavation works for one of two service stations beside the Peninsula Link freeway are on a primary catchment of the Balcombe Creek, which runs into the bay at Mt Martha. The Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Estuary Group says reports by planning and heritage consultants Ecology & Heritage Partners show the development has the potential to cause “major and damaging impacts” on the sensitive and vulnerable ecology and health of the creek and its catchment, which it describes as one of the most extensive, intact and significant catchments and waterways on the Mornington Peninsula. The group says the threat to the significant listed species, dwarf galaxias, and to the swamp skink and the growling grass frog, is of major concern. “That such a development even be considered just above a flood plain is inconceivable,” president Graham Hubbard said. “Its inappropriateness is highlighted by the present state of the inundated flood plain and the already flooded excavations for the development.” The group is concerned about the potential for contaminated run-off and spills from the freeway near Mt Eliza which could have a major effect on the whole of the creek and the diverse flora and fauna it supports. “There is strong community investment in, and support for, the protection of this creek and catchment,” Mr Hubbard said. BERG Mt Martha, whose members care for 44 hectares of reserves between the highway and the bay, is one of a number of community groups that have put “hundreds of thousands of hours into caring for and restoring” the catchment area.

Mr Hubbard said this work had been “strongly supported” by both grants and on-ground work by the Mornington Peninsula Shire and Melbourne Water. Both organisations have a strong interest and investment in the health of the creek and catchment. The group was unaware of works on the service station development until members saw the excavation works. “We have since learnt that there was contention [for the works], but with limited publicity,” he said. “It would have been basic courtesy and good practice to inform and seek the viewpoints of all the groups involved with the catchment.” Mr Hubbard said the development “seems totally in conflict with the stated environmental objectives of the shire and the federal government”. BERG is seeking: n Assurance wants recommendations in the threatened species conservation management plan strictly adhered to; n To know what specific offsets are planned for the development of this green wedge land; n That net gain offsets be used within the area, not on “land elsewhere” nor as a “financial contribution towards existing council managed land”; n That the opportunity be taken to maximise net gain and to revegetate and restore this section of the creek; n To be involved in any restoration to replace the land and vegetation damaged by the development; n Assurance that this area be given its due status as a headwater of Balcombe Creek (as per the signs on Peninsula Link and other nearby roads) and not downgraded, as in the planning documents, by being designated an “outfall drain”.

Congratulations to those progressive [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors who decided to put the CEO’s contract out to tender. Change begins at the top, and if our shire is to become one of the best local governments in Victoria, I believe a new broom is needed to sweep away years of management that has contributed to the enormous debt burden we are saddled with and, given recent poor [council] decisions, will no doubt double in the not too distant future. For the first time in nearly 20 years as a resident, I am hopeful for a bright future for the shire. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Australian Rainbow Trout Farm Orders & Enquiries 5968-4711

I am writing to set the record straight regarding Barbara Porter, one of the candidates in the Red Hill ward byelection. Your article “Ward candidates denied a hearing” (The News 12/8/14) about the recent Red Hill Ward Consultative Group meeting, states Barbara “did not receive an invitation as it was considered she does not spend much time in the Ward. This is ridiculous. Anyone who has lived in the area as long as she has or been a member of a local committee or moved in the same local circles over the past 30 years would have known better. To exclude Barbara, who was at home on the night of the meeting and would gladly have attended had she known about it, or indeed any of the other omitted standing candidates, really raises a question about the organisers’ understanding of democratic process or even simple fairness and decency. It is fair to say, at the very least, that excluding Red Hill ward candidates from a Red Hill Ward Consultancy Meeting was unwise. The committee will certainly end up with egg on its face if one of the uninvited candidates wins. Unfortunately, this situation just adds further to community concern about exclusivity, undue secrecy and decisions behind closed doors that has been a growing undercurrent to this byelection. As her candidate statement states, Barbara has

lived in the ward for the past 30 years, raised a family and actively contributed locally to school committees, sporting clubs, and years of pro bono expertise in microbiology to help achieve UNESCO recognition for the shire’s biosphere plan. This was in addition to being a working mother who commuted to Melbourne hospitals, government agencies and universities and overseas third world projects requiring her scientific expertise. Barbara ran for council in 2005 on issues related to protecting the coastal villages and marine and rural environment, as well as gaining a fair share of services from the shire in return for rates contributions from Red Hill ward. The Red Hill Ward Consultative Group I am sure, in hindsight, is realising it would have been far better to have followed the footsteps of the Balnarring Common Group, which invited all candidates to a well-attended gathering in Balnarring Hall the previous week. A meeting attended by, among others, Barbara Porter. Esther Gleixner, Flinders

It must be nice to have a whole finance department to give Cr Gibb a piece of paper to quote all the facts and figures the council wants us to hear. Try telling the ratepayers that rates are remaining the same when they don't remember paying that much last year. Quite frankly, ratepayers are fed up with the rubbery figures and lack of transparency. The pool folly is growing all the time with new add-ons appearing every so often and so is the cost, as shown in the 2009 poll question. The then Labor government continually suggested from 2005 that council choose an inland site as the foreshore was inappropriate. We could have had a pool years ago if council had not been fixated with the foreshore. Cr Gibb won’t tell you that infrastructure expenditure throughout he shire will have to be put on hold because of the borrowings for the pool. He claims that there is no 6-5 split in council, might I suggest readers attend a council meeting and witness the toxicity for themselves John Cain, McCrae

Ambiguous outcome

Over governed

In soccer you “bend it like Beckham". Facts can also be bent. Cr David Gibb claims that 68 per cent of the rather dubious Mornington Peninsula News Group’s [online] poll supported a pool on the Rosebud foreshore. The councillor well knows that polls can be ambiguous and the question couched in such a manner to give the answer you require as was in that poll (“Council’s imaginary six”, The News 12/8/14). However, [the now defunct] The Mail in October 2009 unambiguously asked “Do we need a $20 million pool on rosebud foreshore" to which 63 per cent said no. As can be seen in The Mail poll, the cost has risen since that time to around $40 million. Here is another fact, on 4 May 2012 a public meeting was conducted in Rosebud’s memorial hall where submitters both for and against a pool on the foreshore were invited to make submissions, 70 per cent were against a pool on the foreshore. They were however, happy for it to be built elsewhere when it could be afforded.

The latest piece from Cr David Gibb (“Council’s imaginary six”, The News 12/8/14) just serves to reiterate what so many people have been thinking and saying for many years: "We are clearly over-governed in Australia." As a result of having so many elected positions available, we end up with a body of elected representatives that do not have the necessary skills or professional acumen to make the types of decisions that will have a lasting impact upon our respective communities. We can only hope that the upcoming election in Red Hill ward might just restore some balance within the Mornington Peninsula Shire. While it is a trite to say that local government should confine itself too the three Rs (roads, rates and rubbish), it certainly rings true when you have Cr Gibb espousing unqualified support for the multi-million dollar SPA project when the shire's own consultants raise serious doubts as to both its need and viability.

Southern Peninsula News 19 August 2014

RED HILL WARD SHIRE BY-ELECTION 23 AUGUST 2014 SPA [Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre in Rosebud] is only one of a half dozen major building projects which urgently require current Shire consideration. Unfortunately it has diverted and divided the Shire over the past 5 years. Essential for the 21st century include a redeveloped Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery; a large Shire Theatre/Auditorium complex; a Peninsula Tourism Centre of national standard; modernised Community Halls; physical amalgamation of three Shire Offices. The discussion needs to be had by not only the Red Hill Ward, whose rates will contribute to these, but the whole Mornington Peninsula community. A moratorium on decisions regarding the current SPA proposal during the coming final two years of this Council will allow the above projects to be independently and transparently considered. A comprehensive and sustainable vision for the Shire’s major infrastructure future is essential. The Shire must take a collective deep breath before plunging headlong into the unknown waters of SPA.

NEWS DESK Anyone with the types of skills and expertise required to personally interrogate those reports and form a view that was based upon that analysis, would probably not still be talking about a project budget that was formulated on costs that are now over three years old and acknowledge the substantial inherent risks of construction in shifting sands, which the shire’s consultant highlighted as being quite specifically. If Cr Gibb undertook his own research and analysis, rather than just relying on a series of selective comments from third parties, then perhaps he would not attract the level of scrutiny and commentary from pundits such as David Harrison and others. To be somewhat fair to Cr Gibb and his fellow councillors, the standard of analysis and commentary provided by shire officers in their briefings to councillors highlight that they cannot be relied upon to provide decisive advice, without fear or favour. Stuart Allen, Dromana

Getting personal It seems that when Cr David Gibb’s point of view is challenged he resorts to personal attack (“Council’s imaginary six”, The News 12/8/14). This follows a previous disappointing comment made a few years ago by Cr Gibb in an email to all councillors which was obtained under FOI by the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association which said that: “Should members of this group (Rosebud Ratepayers Group, trading misleading as the MP Ratepayers Group) be charged with sedition, microchipped and detained in the municipal pound for a week?”

Cr Gibb has made many statements over a period of time which he has not supported with hard evidence or which are at best his interpretation of the facts. He has questioned my knowledge of pool costs, yet the references used are the same reports Cr Gibb purports to support his claim that “it was more expensive build SPA on the IGA site”. It would appear that Cr Gibb does not understand the difference between cost and the shire’s flawed cost benefit analysis which has been subject of criticism not only by our association but by others including an independent, well experienced and qualified expert in the financial analysis of significant infrastructure projects for the state government. Since early 2012 The News has used terms such as “council bitterly divided”, “dominant group” and “Gibb faction” more than a dozen times. On a number of occasions the ruling group of councillors have been named. The reporting has not been confined to a single journalist, however Cr Gibb has singled out David Harrison. The inference that Harrison and the Mornington Peninsula News Group are friends with the Rupert Murdoch press is a disgrace and Cr Gibb should immediately retract this statement. Dr Alan Nelsen, president, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association

Biased reports I have resided in Somerville for 20 months now having lived around the wonderful Mornington Peninsula for 32 years. The motto under your masthead – “An independent voice for the

community” - is not truly representational of an independent voice, in my opinion. The paper continues to give a strongly biased opinion, through general articles, features and editorial to a generally left wing/green philosophy. I read very few articles or reporting items of what the “other” side of politics is doing, that is the present state government. I am sure it is not their lack of trying to balance your paper’s perceived bias, as I am reliably informed that local MP Neale Burgess is very active in this area and has been for several years. The constant “green” articles about and against the proposed Port of Hastings (which has been muted since Henry Bolte’s days in the 1960s) give your readers the wrong impression of this project which, I believe, will bring prosperity, jobs and growth to this area and retain Victoria as Australia’s leading port of world container destination. We don’t all want to go back to living in the stone age and look forward to a bright future for our kids,our grandchildren and future generations. The long lead time and funds allocated by the state Liberal coalition to the Hasting Port Development Authority will I am sure protect and balance the interests of most concerned community groups. But the authority must be allowed to do its job and report back, having involved the community to the utmost, as I am sure is its mission. Please try to balance your paper’s comments in future and your standing will rise considerably in this community, in my opinion, and you will then become what your banner professes to be. Barrie Macmillan, Somerville

Preserve the bay

Save Western Port

Isn’t it interesting how suddenly all the agents of the peninsula carpet baggers are quoting Sir Henry Bolte from the 1960s: “Western Port the Ruhr of Victoria.” Why not mention the proposed nuclear power station for French Island? I think our society has grown up a little since the bad old days and we have decided to register Western Port as a Ramsar wetland of [international] significance. It now looks as if Frankston Council is going to give Mornington Peninsula Shire a run for its money in praising this unsustainable development and quoting GHD research to make a case for all the benefits (‘Councils bank on expanded port’, The News 12/8/14). Remember Peninsula link? The shire was all gung-ho for that project on the recommendations of GHD’s environmental and economic research, only to realise later that it was maybe not such a great idea, especially the service centres proposed for that road. The loss of natural capital to our region from this unnecessary port development will outweigh any gains promised to our region. The loss of amenity, tourism and natural environment will be in the billions of dollars for the Western Port region, just for the benefits of a few very wealthy speculators and developers. Say no to this insanity and keep the Western Port region and the peninsula as the lungs and heart of the Melbourne metropolis. Once you start nibbling away at the north of Westen Port it will be the thin edge of the wedge for the destruction of this beautiful recreation, agricultural and tourism asset. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Being a devoted Peninsularian, as an accountant throughout the Mornington Peninsula, an executive with Clean Ocean Foundation, having played golf down through the peninsula, fished for whiting, all in the past 40-50 years, I am unable to contemplate the desecration of Western Port. We should not run the risk of polluting through oil spillage and destroying the quiet serenity, not only of Hastings but clean and well balanced townships bordering the western beaches of the bay. All of the forgoing for a few lousy dollars and, in the case of pollies, a few lousy votes. Hopefully not in my lifetime. Ron O’Toole, Mt Eliza

Thanks, volunteers I would like to thank the council volunteers who have made such an effort to provide me with wonderful meals three days a week. They have been so good to me over the past six weeks. I was assessed by Michelle who organised everything brilliantly and the food was done so well by Kerrie. We always knock the council but no one stops and thinks of the good work they do – and these are volunteers. Bill Seaman, Rosebud

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

Mad tea party takes a look at being normal

‘Can’t wait to come back’: Timothy Christopher Ryan as the Mad Hatter, Picture: Ian Stubber

“Left turn, right turn, duck and weave, be careful of your head, the rabbit hole can be quite low at points. “There's a light at the end of the tunnel and, as you poke your head out, you emerge into an ever-socurious place that the locals call Wonderland. “An odd white rabbit barges into the room, babbling in French, checking his watch and running off. Not long after, a small girl follows wearing a crisp blue dress and a white apron. This is Alice and this is where our story begins ...” EXPLORING the theme of mental health, A Mad Tea Party is a vibrant, high-energy show that explores how easily our society labels and judges people who are different and asks the question: What does it really mean to be normal? Told through physical theatre, vaudeville, comedy, circus and dance presented in an Immersive Theatre environment, this adaption of Lewis Carrollʼs Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is fuelled by fantasy, dazzling performance, playful interaction and exploration. The audience wanders through a space populated with iconic characters that lead them on their own adventure. When the time is right, a tea party is called, allowing

the audience to fall down the rabbit hole, join in the games and try to understand “why a raven is like a writing desk”. Co-director Timothy Christopher Ryan grew up in Frankston and says he “cannot wait” to perform back in

his hometown. It is being shown as part of the 2014 Frankston Anywhere Festival at 1pm on 23, 24, 30 and 31 August at Mulberry Hill (owned by the National Trust of Australia), at 385 Golf Links Rd, Langwarrin South.

Under the direction of Timothy Christopher Ryan (Ozact) and Samantha Wojcik (Squid Stamp), this classic tale features six artists who have trained in many different art forms, both at the University of Ballarat (Arts Academy) and

Monash University. See details at facebook.com/ amadteaparty2014 Tickets are $20 adults and $13 children/concession. To book visit www.anywherefest. com/tea-party

Desert dreams time PART of Western Australia’s remote desert is coming to Langwarrin in a free exhibition hosted at the McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery. The We Don’t Need A Map experience melds the traditional culture of the Martu people with cutting edge new media artists from across Australia. Stunning paintings, digital animation, video installations, photographic portraits and cultural objects immerse visitors and give an insight into the Martu culture. Senior Martu artist and exhibition consultant, Nora Taylor, said the exhibition is a chance for people to experience “a little bit of our desert”. “More people will see Martu painting, more whitefellas will see what we do, teaching people about the homeland where we are from,” he said.

The exhibition was originally hosted by the Fremantle Arts Centre in 2012 and was critically acclaimed and popular. McClelland Gallery director Robert Lindsay said the exhibition features traditional and contemporary artworks and photography, documentaries and Martu demonstrations. “Great knowledge and familiarity with the landscape means you don’t need a map to navigate across vast open desert terrain to be at one with the spirit of the land,” he said. We don’t need a map: a Martu experience of the Western Desert, Sunday 17 August-Sunday 11 November at McClelland Sculpture Park & Gallery, 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. See wwwmcclellandgallery. com for opening times. Entry is free.

HEARING AWARENESS WEEK ADVERTISING FEATURE

Tiny aid hears but not seen THERE is absolutely no reason why anyone should put up with the social disability of hearing loss. The newest digital hearing aids have hi-fi quality sound, are comfortable and virtually invisible. But just how small and hidden can they be? The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the size of the ear canal, the severity of the loss, the size of the components and the expertise of the professional evaluating, prescribing ad fitting the hearing aid. The smallest hearing aids sit deep in the ear canal, close to the ear drum, and usually cannot be seen when fully inserted. Hidden Hearing specialises in deep canal fittings. Alastair Bacon, Hidden Hearing’s senior clinician, has been fitting hearing aids since 1984.

According to Alastair, “Thanks to the miniaturisation of components and advances in the manufacturing process we are now able to fit hearing aids that are truly invisible when inserted.” After undertaking a comprehensive hearing assessment, an accurate impression is taken of the ear canal using a special silicon compound. The impression is then scanned using a 3D optical scanner. At the laboratory a 3D printer using laser beams produces a precise identical copy. This becomes the shell of the hearing aid. As for the technology, all deep canal aids fitted by Hidden Hearing are digital and fully automatic, so it’s a simple of matter of inserting and forgetting.

WHILST joint pain can occur in many different areas of the body, some of the most common joint pain is experienced in the feet, toes, ankles and knees. Why? Dr David Kavanagh, from one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics said: “Your feet are your foundation and support your entire body weight. Your feet and legs are also responsible for so much of your daily activity, it’s not surprising we experience pain and discomfort in these areas.” Joint pain can include aching, swelling and stiffness and can make standing and walking painful. Such symptoms may also be a sign of arthritis of which Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the most common. These types of arthritis share some similar characteristics, but the cause behind the symptoms is very different and so requires different treatment. Osteoarthritis is caused by mechanical wear and tear on joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks the body’s joints. Therefore an accurate diagnosis and correct treatment is very important.

When it comes to diagnosing and treating pain and injury associated with the feet and legs, a podiatrist with expertise in musculoskeletal concerns is the best and most qualified practitioner to assist. Apart from thorough and accurate diagnostics and assessment, an experienced podiatrist focused on Musculoskeletal concerns can provide a whole range of advice and treatments to assist with the symptoms associated with joint pain. These may include: specific exercises for strengthening and conditioning the feet and legs, general exercise and nutritional advice to assist healing and weight bearing strain, addressing faulty biomechanics, orthoses prescription, advice on appropriate shoe selection, dry needling and natural regenerative injection therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (Platent Rich Plasma). “Thanks to advances in the latest medical research and treatments we’re able to assist symptoms associated with joint pain and arthritis better than ever before” Dr Kavanagh said. If you have joint pain or stiffness you can get expert advice at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Rye and Mt Eliza. Call 1300 328 300. Mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultation.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

‘Off to the war’ footballer honored Compiled by Cameron McCullough SIR William H. Irvine will address the electors at Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday next, at 8 o’clock. *** IN our advertising columns Mr R. J. Hoskings announces that he has opened a cycle shop at Somerville, and has new and secondhand bicycles for sale, also all accessories. *** MR J. K. McDougall will hold a meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, when he will address the electors. *** MR W. Schultz returned home on Monday, after undergoing an operation in Melbourne. We are pleased to report that he is progressing favorably. *** MESSERS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale today of choice poultry, farm implements and household furniture, by order of Mr A. E. Kelly, of Frankston, who is leaving for the war at once. *** WE regret to learn that the Rev. R. Jackson has again had an attack of illness, and is confined to his room. We trust to hear of his speedy recovery. *** DR Fogarty, of Chelsea, announces that he will visit Frankston every Thursday afternoon, and may be consulted by appointment at “Tally Ho”, Melbourne Road. *** A dance in aid of the permanent endowment of the Frankston girls cot

will be held this (Saturday) evening. Any balance will be given to help pay the expenses of a Frankston child while in the Infectious Diseases Hospital. Good music will be supplied, and refreshments will be provided. *** THE following residents of Frankston and district having passed all preliminaries, proceeded to the camp at Broadmeadows today, where they will remain till embarking for the war: Messrs B. Roberts, H. Covington, F. Smith, A. Gerschwitz, A. Verney, A. Hook, A G Young, C. Bunney, G. Vagg, L. T. Malcolm, J. Cuthbert, R. Bates (Mornington), and A. E Kelly. *** THE secretary of the Frankston football club desires to acknowledge the following donations, and would be pleased to receive any that have been promised :- Mr W. B. Cunningham 10s, Mr S. Sherlock 5s, Mr C. Dalman 5s, Mrs Hay 5s, Mr Kelly 3s, Mr H. Allen 10s 6d. The secretary would also be pleased to receive any accounts due to the club, and the future address will be care of Mr E. Worrall. *** DURING the past few days two of the poultry farmers in the vicinity of Kars Street have suffered from the inroad of thieves, who have been bold enough to enter the fowl houses in the course of the afternoon and gather all the eggs they could lay their hands on. Probably some boys more in a spirit of bravado are the culprits. If so it is to be hoped they will at once turn their talents to a better account, otherwise

they will find themselves under lock and key, as the police are keeping a careful eye on that neighborhood. *** IT will be seen by an advertisement in another column that a meeting of the committee of men of the Frankston Patriotic Movement will be held at the Mechanics’ Institute on Monday next at 8 p.m. The committee has power to add and all interested whether members or not are invited to attend. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance. To illustrate what can be done it is of interest to announce that the treasurer of the Frankston Patriotic Fund has received the sum of 11s 2d, made up chiefly of very small amounts, and collected by the boys of the Boys’ Home, Frankston. *** WANTED - Lad to learn blacksmithing trade. A good chance to learn. A. W. Twyford and Son, Coachbuilders, Somerville. *** FRANKSTON ladies have been busily engaged this week in making material up for the comfort of the soldiers in Europe. The attendances at the Mechanics’ hall has been good, and great enthusiasm is being shown. The response to Dr. Maxwell’s invitation to instruct First aid classes once a week met with such a hearty response that too many names were given in for one class, and two have now been formed. *** MEMBERS of the Frankston rifle club had their first drill on Monday, when

they were put through their paces by Mr. S. Corlett. Several Frankston young men have volunteered for active service. Some are already in camp at Broadmeadows while other are expecting “marching orders” daily. *** OFF TO THE WAR. FRANKSTON FOOTBALLER HONORED. At the Prince of Wales Hotel on Tuesday evening, a presentation was made to Mr George Vagg, who has received orders to join the expeditionary force recently formed. Owing to the very short notice, the arrangements had to be made very hurriedly, consequently there was not a large attendance. Apologies for inability to be present were received from Dr Maxwell, and Messrs T. Ritchie and S. Lawrey. Mr W. Oates presided, and, in making the presentation, spoke in glowing term of the departing guest as a sport and a man. He said that every one had been pleased to meet Mr Vagg. He had not played football to see what he could get out of the club - his services were purely voluntary. He had watched him play football, and had never seen him do a cowardly action. They all felt great regret at losing Mr Vagg, but when one thought of their position, they could not help but think that the Australian boys were right in offering to serve their country. While regretting the necessity for Mr Vagg to go, he felt sure that he would uphold the dignity if Australia and Frankston,

and would do justice to whatever he took in hand. The supporters of the football club and his Frankston friends felt that they could not let “Vaggio’’ go without something to show their regard for him and he had much pleasure in handing him the tokens of esteem and goodwill everyone felt. Messrs Harley, Hartland, Willox, Smith, Verney, Worrall, Young and Gerschwitz also added their quota of praise and appreciation of the manly qualites of the departing guest. Mr Vagg, who was much affected, said that he had done what he could for the club because of his respect and admiration not only for the players, but the men behind them. He felt they we e under a great obligation to the Empire, and he felt that he should go and do what he could to help. He thanked them for their gift, and for the kind sentiments expressed, and hoped that he would soon be back to see every one again. “For he’s a jolly good fellow” was most heartily sung, and three cheers given for the departing guest. The presentation consisted of a gold medal, and a smoker’s outfit in case. The medal was inscribed ‘To George Vagg, from his Frankston friends, as a token of esteem, 18/8/14.” Mr A. Verney contributed harmony during the evening. Mr Vagg proceeded to the camp at Broadmeadows on Wednesday. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 August 1914.

The finer points of time travel By Stuart McCullough AT first, I couldn’t be sure. Soon enough, it was a conclusion I could not escape – the clock on the computer at work was losing time. Seven minutes per day to be precise. This may sound like a lot of not very much – after all, what can you really do with seven minutes anyway? Turn up on time, for starters. Catch the right train. When you think about it, dislocating yourself by seven minutes in each twenty-four hour period can really catch you off guard. Worse still, the effect was cumulative. Today it’s seven minutes. Tomorrow it’s fourteen. As I write this, I am not in the here and now but am stranded twenty-eight minutes ago. Spooky, isn’t it? Before you write in, let me be clear and say that I know how to fix the clock – all I have to do is ‘click’ in the right corner and adjust the time manually. And given that this is a simple and mostly painless procedure, you probably think I should stop harassing the IT guy at unsociable hours and rectify the whole clock schmozzle myself… That’s where you’re dead wrong. As unusual as it is for me to try and fix anything that could easily be fixed by others, on this occasion I’d given it a red-hot go. But despite returning the clock to the correct time, I would find those seven minutes would vanish again soon after. Where could they possibly be going? If I peel away the couch cushions, will I find my missing minutes hiding there? Are they escaping

one at a time or is it an exodus more in the manner of a mass-breakout? I suspect they wait until they know I’m away from my desk before making their big move. There were more question than answers but, lucky for me, I had enough time to get to the bottom of things. I’m not ashamed to say that I’m quite the science buff. By ‘science buff’, I mean that I own a copy of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History

of Time and have even read the blurb on the back. Also, over the full period of my life, I have watched several minutes of The Curiosity Show, just not all at once and purely by accident when flicking between stations. So, as a scientist, I know for a fact that time travel is simply hokum conjured up by a bunch of Hollywood types. That is, of course, unless you can get your hands on a flux capacitor and a DeLorean. Sadly, we only have a

Ford Focus at present. Even if I could get it up to eighty eight miles per hour, a Ford Focus isn’t the kind of thing you’d want to be seen driving back through time in. But despite my lack of a flux capacitor, I had unwittingly unlocked the secret of time travel. I’ve done some calculations. If I keep this up, by next Thursday, I’ll be back in last week. By Christmas I’ll be in March 2002. Come the end of financial year, I’ll be in third-year Uni. Before you can say ‘grunge’, you should expect to see me wearing acid wash jeans and a pair of Blundstone boots. I won’t sugarcoat it – this is going to get ugly, and not just sartorially. Life was hard enough going forwards. It can only be more complex in reverse. There are some people who lament getting older. Not me. Frankly, I couldn’t stand being younger and much like a bad cold, was delighted when I finally shook it off. Like the weakest link in a compulsory team lap around the oval, my clock is now starting to fall behind and dragging me along with it. So far, the changes have been negligible – incapable of detection to the naked eye. But I fear all that is about to be unleashed. Soon, the years will start to fall away and I’ll be getting younger instead of older, just like Brad Pitt in that movie – Fight Club... But what if I start losing more than just seven minutes a day?

rate of knots. All of which leads to the big question – why is this happening? The way I see it, there are two possible explanations regarding my missing minutes. It could be a minor technical hitch. Presumably, the ‘server’ will be to blame. Truth be told, I don’t believe that the ‘server’ exists. Like the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot or Winston Churchill, I think the ‘sever’ is just a figment of somebody’s rather over-active imagination. Just like the Boogie Man or J. Edgar Hoover, such things do not exist in real life. Believing in ‘the server’ is, I feel, pretty much akin to claiming that the world is flat. Not very scientific at all. But perhaps I should stop fearing time travel and embrace it. After all, how many people ever really get a second chance? As I lurch backwards through time, this is my opportunity to set things straight. To do things a little better. To, where necessary, make amends. To correct just a few of the mistakes that have my marked my journey from ‘there’ to ‘here’. To finally get things right…. …They’re back. Without warning and without explanation, the seven minutes have returned to the clock. Perhaps it’s for the best. Maybe the past should be left precisely where it is. Time travel may be glorious in theory but, when all’s said and done, we are driven to move forward. Whether that’s in a DeLorean or a Ford Focus is hardly the point. The server, should it exist, would doubtless agree. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Finals places still up for grabs NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE make-up of the Nepean League top five will not be determined until 4.30pm this Saturday after both Rosebud and Rye won their matches on Saturday. Going into the final round, Rye holds down fifth place on the ladder, a game clear of Rosebud. In the final home and away round this weekend, Rye faces Sorrento, while Rosebud tackles Devon Meadows. A betting man would say that the Buds have the easier challenge of the two. If the results go as expected, Rye and Rosebud will be equal on points at the conclusion of Round 18. As it stands, Rosebud has a superior percentage over Rye and would grab a spot in the Elimination Final. It’s hard not to get excited about what is about to unfold. The match of the round on Saturday in Nepean League, however, was that between Red Hill and Crib Point. What a fascinating game it was. Red Hill dominated the first 10 minutes of the game but couldn’t put scoreboard pressure on the opposition. For the remainder of the first term and all of the second, the Magpies took charge. At half time, the visitors led by 20 points. The Pies had the first scoring shot of the third quarter, which was a point. That would be the last time for the match that the Magpies would score. Red Hill booted 13.9 to 0.1 in the second half to run out comfortable winners 16.21 (117) to 8.3 (51). Jarryd Douglas booted three goals for the winners while Harry Larwill and Jake Mitchell were dominant. Luke Herrington starred or the Pies with three goals while James Cook and Waide Symes were also very good.

Crib Point coach Duane Annable rested Jon Flack, Glenn Boyd and Herrington for much of the last quarter. Dean Warry was rested for the match. Red Hill had both Luke Adams and Blake McCormack star in the reserves in their first game back, while Jake Mold is ready to resume. Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said when the game looked lost for the Pies, the opposition coach Duane Annable pulled-up stumps. “It must be hard for Crib Point to get themselves up. They were two games clear on top and really don’t have a lot to play for,” Blackford said. “Annas (Annable) did exactly what I would have done in the same situation. It’s about preservation for them now. They were outstanding for 40 minutes and really had us covered. “We are still fighting for a place in the top three and we need to do everything right. “It’s another tough challenge this week against Dromana but if we win, the win today against Crib helps us achieve the double chance,” Blackford said. The other pressure cooker game on Saturday was that between Rye and Somerville. The Eagles would have enjoyed nothing more than to end Rye’s season. They using close but not close enough, going down 13.23 (101) to 14.7 (91). Only three points separated the sides at three quarter time after Somerville led by a goal at half time. However, Rye squandered opportunities, especially in the first half. The home side had 20 to 11 in the first hour of the game. Rye coach Ben Holmes with five goals and skipper Rhett Dutton were the players who stood up when the game needed to be won. Jedd Sutton, along with Justin and Todd Farrelly were the best of the Eagles.

Steven Gaertner booted 12 goals for Dromana in their 29.23 (197) to 11.11 (77) win against Pearcedale. Jai Williams also made it two sensational performances for the Tigers in as many weeks with four goals playing across half forward while a further nine players contributed on the scoreboard. Dean Jannson and Basil Sibasado were amongst the best for the Dales. Hastings booted 12 goals to three in the second half to thrash Devon Meadows 20.15 (135) to 8.16 (64). Luke Hewitt and Dylan Hand were outstanding for the Blues with five goals each and Steve Robb kicked four majors while Steve Charalambous was one of the best players on the ground. ‘Charra’s’ second half of the season has been outstanding and let’s hope the rumour of him retiring after this season are not true. Alex Doria was fantastic for Devon, Lukey Duhig played his best game of senior footy and Craig Thorne was also consistent across four quarters. Myles Pitt made his return to senior footy with four goals in Sorrento’s 15.19 (109) to 5.5 (35) win over Frankston Bombers. It was Pitt’s second game of footy for the season after returning from overseas a few weeks ago. James Hallahan was superb with three majors while Tyrren Head was also at his best. Hallahan would be a good bet for the league medal this year. Matt Harris, Jay Reynolds and Jason Kingsbury were the best of the Bombers. In the final game of round, Rosebud booted 25.20 (170) to beat Tyabb 4.3 (27). Tom Baker booted seven goals in a best on ground performance while Lachy Armstrong and Ryan Spooner had the ball on a string. Best for the Yabbies were Steve Hemley and Chris Samways.

It’s the finals countdown PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt DESPITE 17 rounds of Peninsula League football so far this season, we have to wait for the final home and away game of the year to be sure of the shape of the top bracket. A month ago, looking at the draw, it appeared Mt Eliza was odds-on to play finals footy and finish in fifth spot. Their challenger was Langwarrin. However, the Kangas had a tougher draw than the Redlegs, finishing the season with games against three top four sides in the final four games. They say a week is a long time in footy. The past three weeks has been intriguing. Langwarrin did the unthinkable last week and kept their chances alive with a win against the reigning premiers at Edithvale. A week later, Mt Eliza cops an unlikely loss to Seaford, meaning that this weekend’s games will determine who plays finals. Neither club has an easy contest in their deciders. Langwarrin has to travel to Jubilee Park to face the toughest test in

Peninsula League - Frankston YCW. Mt Eliza has an equally tough assignment, having to play Edithvale at the Eagles’ nest. There is currently 11 per cent between Langwarrin (121) and Mt Eliza (110) also. The Kangas can’t afford to get blown away by the best side in the competition. Fifth place isn’t the only contest, however. Frankston YCW has a two game buffer on top, but the real interest is the race for a double chance position between Bonbeach, Edithvale and Mornington. The Sharks are in the box seat with a great percentage. The real battle comes down to that between Mornington and Edithvale. One of those sides will have to play in an Elimination Final in a fortnight. So, the final round is going to be fascinating. Mornington regained its mojo after having their pants pulled down by the Stonecats the previous week. Playing Langwarrin at Langwarrin, the Doggies needed to bounce back and prove that the previous week’s

performance was nothing more than a blip in what has been a pretty good season. The Doggies led at every change with coach Stuart Seagar leading the charge with two goals in a near best on ground performance. Barry Smeeton and Paul Dadds were also significant in the victory. Seagar said that his team needed to get their hands on the footy first if they were to win the game against the Kangaroos. “We were smashed in contested footy against YCW and our work rate was very poor,” Seagar said. “Our skills let us down too and in today’s footy, you get punished if you turn the footy over. “When our work rate is up, we’re first in for the footy, stick our tackles and put pressure on the ball carrier, we play good footy.” Mornington’s third quarter was outstanding. Leading by just 10 points at half time, the Dogs booted five goals to one in the third term to open up a match winning 37 point break. The visitors went on to win 9.14 (68) to 6.6 (42).

Michael Parker, Jarryd Amalfi and Sean Herdman were the best of the Kangas. Seaford came from 17 points down at three quarter time to cause one of the boilovers of the season against Mt Eliza. Against the odds, playing away from home and with not a lot to play for, the Tigers booted 5.8 to 1.2 in the final quarter to win comfortably against the Redlegs, 9.17 (71) to 8.10 (58). Jack Haidon was superb once again for the winners while Tom Shaw, Aaron Walton, Ben Crowe and Josh Stokes showed their leadership when it mattered most. Ben Lean was amongst Mt Eliza’s best with two goals while James Anwyl and Matt Ditchfield in his fourth senior game were also amongst the Redlegs’ best. It’s been a frustrating season for the Mounties. Edithvale-Aspendale got its season back on track with a hard fought victory against Pines. Jarrod Garth booted five goals and Brad Tagg three while Stevey Mannix, Zac Muschialli and Brad Gilder

dominated for the Eagles. Beau and Guy Hendry were the best of the Pythons, along with Dean Scerri. Bonbeach had 14 goal kickers in its 26.20 (176) to 5.6 (36) victory against Karingal. Ricky Ferraro was the best player on the ground with five goals, while Cal McQueen finished with four majors. Once again, Jackson Casey and Justin Norton were in the best players on the field. George Angelopolous and Tom Wilkinson were Karingal’s best yet again. In the final game, Frankston YCW led by 43 points at quarter time and finished winning the game against Chelsea 17.15 (117) to 6.11 (47). Dave Bodley finished with seven goals while Billy Rolfe and Kevin Lylak were the leading players on the ground. Todd Gardiner and Jayden Attard were Chelsea’s best. Chelsea coach Paul Howroyd resigned from the club on Saturday morning. This means Chelsea will be looking for its fourth coach in four seasons.
