Council apology over scam slam Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has apologised for labelling a business planning to build a sports and trampoline centre on the southern peninsula “a scam”. The company, Peninsula Jump, announced via Facebook in July last year that it planned to open a fitness and sports centre on the peninsula which

would also include a large trampolines zone. A lack of visible progress by the business has led critics on Facebook to criticise Peninsula Jump for a perceived lack of transparency. Peninsula Jump also launched “a nonprofit arm” last November called Miracle Fund to raise funds for charitable causes. Council’s economic development manager Shane Murphy sent a letter of

apology dated 16 September to Peninsula Jump after a council “staff member was incorrect to classify Peninsula Jump as a ‘scam’”. Several people who have won or bought tickets for the centre at fundraisers are frustrated there has been no confirmation of the centre’s opening date or its location. An email response by a council business development officer to a query from a member of the public asking

whether Peninsula Jump had lodged planning or building permits for the planned fitness centre stated: “Mornington Peninsula Shire has nothing to do with this entity and agree it is most likely a scam.” The council officer suggested the member of public contact Facebook to ask the best way of “protecting their clients from this scam.” Mr Murphy’s letter to Peninsula Jump apologised for “the inadvertent

and incorrect comment made by one of our staff in response to a query from a member of the public, with regards to your company”. Mr Murphy told The News the email response had been “a simple error… by one of our junior staff”. He said the staff member had been “counselled” after not doing “due diligence” before making a statement about Peninsula Jump’s business model. Continued Page 11

Ferry drama

Picture: Andrew Mackinnon

A MAN reportedly “died twice” on the SorrentoQueenscliff ferry last Friday afternoon before being revived by crew members using a defibrillator. He was breathing when taken by air ambulance to the Austin Hospital and admitted in a critical condition, according to an Ambulance Victoria spokesperson. The ferry had moved only metres from the Sorrento wharf when the man, 50, collapsed with an unknown medical condition, prompting the crew to swing into action. The ferry was backed into position as two ambulances and the air ambulance arrived within 14 minutes to treat the man, who is said to be from Melbourne. Searoad Ferries managing director Matt McDonald said the man “appeared to be fine when boarding the ferry” but that his condition quickly deteriorated. “The crew said he looked OK but he walked up several fights of stairs and he may have had a [medical] history. We don’t know.” Mr McDonald praised his crew for their quick response to the emergency. “They did a fantastic job. They do medical training and practice using the defibrillator and it’s paid off.” He thanked passengers for their patience. “We had to cancel two trips and pull the pin on the 1pm service and so they were delayed an hour.” The Sorrento-Queenscliff ferries carry 750,000 passengers a year. Mr McDonald said it was Australia’s busiest car-and-passenger service. Stephen Taylor

Community concerns over Point plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE state government is under fire over secrecy surrounding an agreement for a major commercial development with Point Nepean National Park. The Nepean Conservation Group and Nepean Historical Society has accused the government of keeping the community “in the dark” on critical details of the plan which includes a 99-year lease over the Point Nepean Quarantine Station to a Portsea property developer. And the National Parks Association of Victoria is “deeply concerned” about the creation of a “private enclave” within the national park. It says the public will have to pay to use most of the “facilities and activities” in the $100 million plan proposed by the Point Leisure Group with “no information [being given] about the amounts to be paid or any assessment of social or economic impacts”. Mornington Peninsula Shire has also voiced misgivings about the plan and said time for public comment was too short. When at Point Nepean to unveil the plan in July, the Premier Dennis

Napthine described the development as “a world-class tourist destination and education precinct”. The plan by the Point Leisure Group – run by Myer family members Richard and Trine Shelmerdine - includes a hotel, thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre, accommodation including both luxury and camping styles, shops, cafes, restaurants and a heritage museum and jetty. “The proposal is in keeping with the site’s cultural and Indigenous heritage, while delivering stringent environmental protections,” Dr Napthine said. The government invited public feedback on the proposal but has given no guarantees of making any changes. Submissions must be in by 1 October. “We never thought we’d have to re-fight this, it’s terrible, really,” long time campaigner for the preservation of Point Nepean and a former member of the federal government-appointed Point Nepean Community Group, Ursula De Jong said. Now heading the Nepean Conservation Group, Ms De Jong said the government had invited comments from “anyone who could be affected” by the Special Use Zone 5 proposed for Point Nepean.

“Everyone in Victoria is affected,” she said. “The national park belongs to everyone in the state.” Ms De Jong said the government “plans effectively to excise a large area - not yet determined - from Point Nepean National Park. And that its preferred developer Point Leisure Group has proposed an exclusive luxury health, wellbeing and geothermal spa retreat that ignores the values of the national park and will deny public access to many areas of the park”. The community fought for nearly two decades for an integrated national park at Point Nepean but this latest proposal “further separates the Quarantine Station from the national park”. Ms De Jong said the new planning zone removed environmental significance overlays, amendments to the park management plan and third party appeal rights to VCAT. “The new zone allows future subdivision. It puts the Minister for the Environment [Ryan Smith] in charge of both the town planning decisions and the requirements under the National Parks Act, which as minister he can override. He is also in charge of lease length and conditions.” Doreen Parker, president of the Ne-

pean Historical Society, said the Point Leisure Group was “paying lip service” to the historical values of the Quarantine Station and “even airbrushed out reference to the name Quarantine Station by calling its development The Point”. “The government’s consultation ends on 1 October. After that, all decisions about development of the quarantine station will be made behind closed doors between the property developer and the government,” Ms Parker said. “One of those decisions may be to subdivide the land, an action that will be enabled under the government’s planning processes and made much easier if the property developer is granted the 99-year lease. It’s as good as selling off the Point Nepean Quarantine Station.” VNPA executive director Matt Ruchel said there was a “a huge risk that once one new development occurs, or private operators obtain exclusive access, developments will continue to grow, especially if they are within a 99-year lease period”. “Ninety-nine years is a very long time, effectively equating to private ownership. And any current regulations or restrictions applying to the de-

“Mad Matty” Karaoke Show

velopment are unlikely to be honoured over that time: the lease period would extend for more than 24 [state] election cycles.” The VNPA lists its “key issues” with the plan as being:  It is creating a protected area for property developers, not protecting a national park for people and natural and cultural heritage.  These are dramatic changes which ride roughshod over many longstanding planning processes accepted as essential by the community and governments, such as third party appeals to VCAT. It puts the Environment Minister in charge of both development planning and the national park, creating an untenable conflict of interest and obligation.  It not only opens up parks for development, but significantly and unnecessarily fast- tracks what should be carefully considered processes. “It essentially makes it easier to get approval for a development in a national park than on adjacent private land, and lacks any clear process for assessing ecological impacts on the local environment and in the national park as whole,” Mr Ruchel said.

Uplifting show of support: More than 500 people packed Peninsula Community Theatre osie Batty, Fiona McCormack, Rodney Vlais and Ken Lay addressed the Peninsula Voice forum on family violence at Mornington last week.

Forum addresses family violence scurge Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au

Centre stage: An image of murdered Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty looms large as his Rosie Batty addresses a packed Peninsula Community Theatre last week during the Peninsula Voice family violence forum.

“Young Luke’s image beamed out on the big screen as Rosie delivered a heartfelt plea for change to the many lives which are damaged by deaths like that of Luke. “There were moments where it was difficult to see a dry eye, senior police included.” Ms Batty told the audience she was determined the death of her son would not be in vain and that family violence had at long last emerged as a major political issue in the lead-up to November’s state election. She said the focus of domestic violence need to shift from blaming the victims to addressing the behaviour of the perpetrators. Domestic violence was an epidemic within our society and every woman and child was potentially a victim. “If it can happen to me, it can happen to any

of you,” she said. “I’m a strong, articulate, welleducated woman. We’re all vulnerable.” Mr Lay agreed that the emergence of the issue onto the political stage was a major step forward, but added that “all reform in the world will have very little impact if we do not change some men’s culture”. “We must educate young men. We must make it very, very clear to our young men that there’s no occasion where violence against women is understandable or acceptable.” Mr Lay said that as men, “we have to start having hard conversations with our mates, our sons, our colleagues and our team mates”. “We need to change the language, the attitude and the misogynistic behaviour that lies at the heart of male violence against women.” Ms McCormack said the “sexist attitudes” em-

MORE than 500 people including senior police, politicians and community leaders, packed Mornington’s Peninsula Community Theatre last week in an overwhelming show of support for the campaign to turn the tide against family violence. Emotions ran high and many a tear was shed as the audience heard shocking details of the effects family violence was exacting on the community. The forum, organised by recently formed community group Peninsula Voice, featured speeches by Rosie Batty, Police Commissioner Ken Lay, Domestic Violence Victoria chief executive Fiona McCormack, and Rodney Vlais from Men’s Referral Service and No To Violence. Peninsula Voice president Peter Orton said organisers had been overwhelmed by the community’s response to the forum, with 540 guests attending and hundreds more having to be turned away. He was especially pleased with the level of official response, which included a large contingent of serving police officers attending. “There were about 25 senior police filling the front rows of the venue, including members of both the Frankston and Mornington family violence units,” he said. “Some of these members would have been the first on the scene of the Tyabb cricket training session earlier this year [where schoolboy Luke Batty was murdered by his father]. “It was inspirational to see such a high quality event, organised and funded completely by volunteers and community action.” Most guests agreed the passionate speech delivered by Luke’s mother Rosie Battie was the highlight of the forum. “Many said it was an absolute privilege to witness such highly emotive presentations, particularly Rosie’s,” Mr Orton said.

bedded in our society lay at the heart of domestic violence and called a major shift in attitudes towards women. Mr Vlais agreed, calling on men to drop their attitude of entitlement towards woman and attempting to justify their violent behaviour. Their comments preceded the release of alarming national survey last week that showed many Australians were ready to excuse rapists and men who control, intimidate, bash and kill women, preferring instead to apportion blame to the victim. The VicHealth survey found one in five Australians agree that a woman is partly responsible for rape if she is intoxicated, and one in six support the “deplorable notion” that women may mean ‘yes’ when they say ‘no’. VicHealth surveyed 17,500 Australian about their views on violence against women and gender equality. VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said the survey revealed highly concerning attitudes towards domestic violence remained in the community. “We are really concerned about the number of people – men and women – who still believe that rape and physical violence are justifiable, and that women are often partly to blame,” she said. “A culture that excuses rape and violence is one that allows it to happen. “Perhaps most worrying for VicHealth, which has been working to prevent violence against women for almost a decade, is that nearly twothirds (64 per cent) say that violence is caused by men being unable to control their anger. “And nearly half (43 per cent) believe men rape because they can’t control their need for sex. “These beliefs demonstrate just how far we have to go before our society understands the nature of violence. “Allow me to make it very clear. Violence is a choice, not an instinct. And it is never excusable. It’s always a crime. And no woman ever invites or deserves it.”

Six months to treat mystery ulcers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN elderly Sorrento man was required to make more than 100 visits to Blairgowrie Medical Centre and the Royal Melbourne Hospital over six months to treat the flesh-eating Bairnsdale ulcer. George ‘Alex’ Greig, 89, whom doctors believe may have received a skin infection from possum dung while gardening, is now cured – thanks to a range of treatments. These included antibiotics and dressings containing seaweed solution and manooka honey, which bees source from tea tree flowers. Events leading up to the episode add to the mystery of the condition, which is becoming more prevalent on the peninsula – although no specific cause has been identified. Dr Daniel O’Brien, deputy director of infectious diseases at Barwon Health, who helped treat Mr Greig, said he had seen six patients here in the past 12 months and three in the previous 12 months. “The ulcer is not as prevalent here as it is on the Bellarine Peninsula but the number of cases will likely take off,” he said. In a series of incidents, Mr Greig received a scratch on his shoulder while in the Kimberley late last year which developed into an “angry sore that would not heal” on his return home. Then, while visiting New York earlier this year, he was accidentally jabbed in the ankle and received another cut that would not respond to treatment. A third skin infection developed under an arm. Doctors say it is possible the ulcer bacterium entered his blood stream at any of these places.

After being infected, keen gardener Mr Greig found a dead possum on his block in March which he noticed had the same sores and ulcers on its face and body as he had. He put it in his freezer and contacted medical researchers. When dissected by a vet from Melbourne University it was found to have an abundance of Bairnsdale ulcer bacterium in its guts and liver. Dr O’Brien told The News last week that, despite experts being unable to pinpoint a cause for outbreaks on this side of the bay, they had noted an abundance of the ulcer bacterium in possum dung. This does not mean possums are carriers, he said, or that they are inked with the transmission of the disease. It is possible gardeners come in contact with the bacteria in possum dung in garden beds. Dr Damien Flannigan, of Blairgowrie Medical Centre, said he treated his first case of the ulcer on the peninsula three years ago “but in the past two years there has been a slight upsurge”. He said sores mostly affected the body’s extremities, as the bacterium was found to prefer cooler body temperatures. There was also a greater likelihood of cuts on fingers, hands and feet. “We have not confirmed how the disease is spread,” he said. “There are lots of theories. It could be that mosquitos bite possums whose dung then contaminates soil and enters cuts on the hands of gardeners.” He said six cases of Bairnsdale ulcer were being treated at Blairgowrie, five at Rye and another six at Sorrento medical centres.

Lengthy treatment: Alex Grieg is now clear of the flesh-eating ulcer.

Scarecrows on the march up the hill An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

THE peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hinterland will come alive with a burst of colour and creativity this weekend as one of the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more quirky tourist events kicks off. The annual Scarecrow Festival features 27 artistic interpretations of scarecrows scattered throughout the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picturesque heartland. Visitors are invited to visit a diversity

MP backs SPA on foreshore MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have been told to make up its mind about where to build the planned Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre â&#x20AC;&#x153;and stick with itâ&#x20AC;?. Nepean MP Martin Dixon favours the centre going on the Rosebud foreshore and does not believe a swimming pool, gymnasium, cafe and public hall goes against the recently-gazetted Victorian Coastal Strategy which advocates that such Crown land be used for â&#x20AC;&#x153;coastal activitiesâ&#x20AC;?. "The VCS also talks about the need to demonstrate a nett public benefit and I believe an aquatic centre more than adequately meets these criteria,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dixon said. ""The southern peninsula needs an aquatic centre and I wish the council would make up its mind where it will be, make a decision and stick

with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I, and many fellow ratepayers I speak to, am sick of the petty games being played by councillors at the expense of important community projects." While questions are also being raised over the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to afford the $40 million plus aquatic centre, or SPA, Mr Dixon said he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;enthusiastically support and endorseâ&#x20AC;? an application by the shire for a grant under the better pools program â&#x20AC;&#x153;regardless of where council decides to locate the poolâ&#x20AC;?. Without giving the nod to any one of the SPA designs being exhibited by the shire Mr Dixon said â&#x20AC;&#x153;any of them would be an improvement on the current rundown buildings and public use of that [foreshore] space". Keith Platt

Conflict councillor fined $4000 COUNCILLOR Graham Pittock has been fined $4000 and will pay $25,000-$30,000 in costs to the Local Government Investigation and Compliance Inspectorate over his conflict of interest related to his Dromana Tonic squash courts and gymnasium and the proposal to include a gym in the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. Cr Pittock was found last month to have the conflict but no conviction was recorded against him, meaning he is not banned from continuing as a councillor. Magistrate Fiona Stewart told Frankston Magistrates Court last Friday (19 September) that she calculated the fine partly on a 2012 case involving Central Goldfields Shire councillor Ian

Roberston, charged with two counts of conflict of interest over a road upgrade. Cr Robertson was ordered to make a $4000 donation to Maryborough Hospital and pay the prosecutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs of $20,000. His legal bill and the prosecutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $70,000 in all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were paid by his shire. He had voted for an upgrade to a road outside his property. Cr Pittock was found to have voted on the SPA issue. The court was told he had voted against it being built on the Rosebud foreshore, not against the pool itself. He faces a hefty legal bill of his own as well as the fine and prosecution costs.

Conflict case exposes council dysfunction David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE Graham Pittock conflict of interest case, now concluded, has pulled the focus squarely on to the deep dysfunction afflicting Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. The case began with a 2012 allegation of conflict of interest – anonymous, as is allowed, to the secretive Local Government Investigation and Compliance Inspectorate – and ended last Friday with a fine and costs order. Almost a modern-day “Jarndyce and Jarndyce”, for those who read Dickens. For more than two years Cr Pittock was prevented from voting on the financially huge and physically expanding SPA, such is the cracking bureaucratic haste with which the inspectorate, a noted guardian of democracy and practitioner of legal efficiency, got its case ready for court. And Cr Pittock cannot vote on the SPA so long as he owns his Tonic squash and gym facility in Dromana. Almost certainly this was the aim of the anonymous complainant – to stop an anti-foreshore councillor from voting by alleging conflict of interest, to ensure the pool is built beside Rosebud beach. The magistrate found what seemed to some observers a thin, speculative case – according to the inspectorate, a test case – against Cr Pittock. He was found guilty and fined, but it is a hollow victory for the low life who made the complaint. It is a document littered, it has been stated, with col-

ourful language of a sort found only in the mouths of people whose vocabulary runs to 200 words or less. The SPA dysfunction continues and, impossible though this seems, it gets worse. But soon it will get better – the Red Hill ward byelection brought to council another anti-foreshore if not anti-pool councillor whose vote changes the foreshore numbers from 6-5- to 5-6. And pro-foreshore mayor Antonella Celi, with her casting vote, hands back the gold chain in November and with it her crucial extra vote for the foreshore. The death throes of the pro-foreshore councillor group have become a wonder to behold. Witness the council meeting held on 8 September. And there’s more to come. Cr Hugh Fraser that night brought to the chamber a motion to halt work on the SPA at the foreshore site. SPA champion Cr David Gibb was on holidays, which infuriated his supporters, who accused their opponents of denying him, the most fervid pro-foreshore advocate, the opportunity to take part in the debate. Councillors David Garnock and Andrew Dixon launched blistering attacks on Cr Fraser, using language that drew occasional mild remonstrances from Cr Celi, who was chairing the meeting. Cr Dixon lamented the absence of Cr Gibb: the SPA is “close to his heart,” he mourned, to be reminded tartly by Cr Fraser that the debate would not be taking place had Cr Dixon honoured his election pledge to put the SPA on hold. The pro-Gibb, pro-foreshore councillors seem not to have noticed

– or don’t wish to know – that they are now the council minority faction on the SPA. Their indignation and impotent fury at finding themselves outvoted on an issue that until last month they controlled was bizarre, tragic, spectacular at the reality that he SPA was suddenly no longer “theirs”. And its preferred foreshore site was being pronounced dead. The obdurate folly of insisting that the SPA pool/gym/community hall be on the foreshore was being destroyed by a relentless presentation of facts. The state government had finally said No, via its new Victorian Coastal Strategy 2014, to the foreshore accommodating non-coastal dependent uses. Yet there on the shire website are the four SPA designs, drawn to a shire brief that included a gym and a replacement community hall – on the foreshore. Did the shire not know about the requirement that community halls were “to be relocated as the opportunity arises” (page 65 of the strategy)? Why then was the replacement for the Rosebud Memorial Hall included in the 2013 design brief? After all, the shire owns a most suitable site for a hall nearby in Wannaeue Place. And why on earth was a gym included? There’s not much coastaldependent about a gym. Cr Pittock must have smiled wryly at this piece of shire effrontery. As to Cr Gibb’s absence on 8 September, we heard no Garnock or Dixon fulminations about “unfairness” related to Cr Pittock’s plight. Nor related to the inhabitants of Red

Hill ward, unrepresented for threequarters of a year. But here was Hugh Fraser, being accused of deceit, of trashing democracy, of unfairness, by councillors radiating some spurious “right” to dictate who must be at meetings such as this. They were effectively saying that meetings should only be held when they had the numbers. Here they were, whingeing about “their” man being cruelly cheated of his right to be present. What self-righteous, selfserving blind balderdash. Here, publicly, the dummy was being spat, the toys were being hurled out of the pram, in a giant, petulant sulk that on occasion was barely controlled by a strong-arm chair who threatened to adjourn the meeting and to throw the book at the restive gallery. At one point Cr Celi “named” an over-enthusiastic member of the gallery – who responded “Thank you very much. I appreciate it”, to roars of approval. Thank goodness for council meeting recordings. As the council bedlam proceeded this correspondent and his partner were in Brisbane, delighting in two beautiful young granddaughters, and conversing quietly and civilly with three sons and an enchanting daughter-in-law. What a contrast to the recording. The 8 September meeting was an opportunity for the pro-foreshore group to show grace, to recognise that it was no longer in control, to demonstrate maturity, to acknowledge the start of a new epoch and to calculate its members place in it. In a few months this shire may have a

new chief executive officer, working with a new mayor. Change is here. Everyone, please calm down. Postscript: Cr Pittock has never voted against the SPA. He has only ever voted against the foreshore site. But, as a magistrate observed in an earlier conflict case, conflict went “to the heart of the integrity of local government”. The courts are on the look-out. Would-be councillors everywhere, beware.

Demerit point ‘scam’ exposed POLICE last week arrested 16 people from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula over an alleged scam involving the sale of demerit points stemming from traffic camera offences. A 48-year-old Frankston man was interviewed and charged for making a false document and obtaining financial advantage by deception following a four-month investigation into alleged “dodgy demerit point dealings”. Police allege the man is responsible for 24 instances of fine redirection worth $7182 and 55 demerit points. Officers from Frankston, Mornington and Rosebud attended 20 addresses during Tuesday’s operation and arrested 15 people. They were interviewed and charged with making a false document, obtain financial advantage by deception and making a false nomination. All 16 people were summonsed or bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 11 December.

Council apologises for ‘scam’ email Continued from Page 1 Peninsula Jump’s Miracle Fund has also caused angst among the company’s Facebook’s followers with several questioning its charitable credentials since the fitness centre is yet to be built. Peninsula Jump states in a FAQ document on Facebook that the Miracle Fund “is at the heart of the Peninsula Jump concept. 20 per cent of yearly profits will be given back to the community through a series of what we like to call ‘miracles’. Examples might be: A parent is suddenly unemployed or unfit to work temporarily, and the family risks losing their home. We will cover mortgage payments until employment is resumed or the health issue is resolved…” Other examples include providing computers to the children of families who cannot afford it and paying for medical treatment for an ill child. A spokesperson for Peninsula Jump said the company accepted the council officer’s email had been “an unfortunate mistake”. “I do believe it was a genuine mistake,” the spokesperson said. “We have been consulting people above them [at council] and they [the council officer] may not have heard of us.” The spokesperson said: “The Shire has been helpful up to this point and we still continue to work with them.” Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, took to Peninsula

Jump’s Facebook page last Thursday and Friday to defend the company’s reputation. Cr Celi’s first post stated: “PJ is not a scam” and she posted on Friday that one of the persistent Facebook critics of Peninsula Jump could make an appointment to visit her office “to clarify any misunderstandings you have”. She said “allegations” against Peninsula Jump are “unfounded”. Cr Celi told The News she was aware of Peninsula Jump’s fund raising efforts and wanted to counter “wrong information” doing the rounds on social media. “It is my duty as a civic leader not to allow innuendo and gossip to spread,” Cr Celi said. She said there had been “no formal application” from Peninsula Jump to build the fitness centre on the peninsula and the company was being treated “no differently” from any other constituent in her Seawinds ward. Cr Celi said she “does not have a personal relationship” with Peninsula Jump but has met the business backers at a fund raising event. “Their venture is no different from any others,” Cr Celi said. “We are an open and transparent council.” Mr Murphy’s letter to Peninsula Jump stated: “I hope that we may continue to utilise my Unit’s expertise and capabilities in supporting your company in their entrepreneurial pursuits.”

While the federal government announced this month it would provide $406 million to enable four year olds to access up to 15 hours of preschool per week, the deal is for one year only, with no guarantee of funding beyond 2015. Fears had been raised preschool hours would be cut back to ten hours a week from next year after the Abbott government failed to provided funding for kindergartens in its 2014-15 budget.

Under existing arrangements forged by the previous Labor government, the state government funds 10 hours of preschool for four-year-old each week while the commonwealth finances a further five hours. Ms Glexiner said she was angered at the federal government’s decision to “rip up” the National Partnership Agreement, which had left “kinder children, their parents and staff under a cloud of uncertainty about their future”. “Kinders were secure until the Abbott government tore up the kindergarten partnership deal in its 2014/15 budget,” she said. “Parents put in hours of volunteer work helping on kinder committees and fundraising to give their children the best start for school. It is such

an important first step. They rely on the government funding to give them the basics and do all the rest themselves. The last thing young parents need is this extra stress and uncertainty hanging over them, as well as the risk of losing fabulous teachers who may have to look for jobs elsewhere if there is no guarantee of work.” She described the “surprise turn around” by the Abbott government in recently agreeing to extend funding for 15 hours of kinder for four year olds as a “cynical move” that provided only a shortterm reprieve to kindergartens. “Parents and staff are worried that the lastminute fix won’t last,” she said. “Some say it is a cynical move designed to take the volatile issue off the election agenda in Victoria, NSW and

Queensland. The facts are, parents and staff are being left high and dry without any certainty about future kinder funding, what Victoria’s allocation will be, whether funds for new buildings will be included and whether it will be renewed in 12 months’ time.” However Nepean incumbent and state Education Minister Martin Dixon dismissed the ALP warning as fear mongering, saying he was “very pleased” with the funding deal negotiated with the federal government and that he expected ongoing financing arrangements guaranteeing 15 hours of preschool access a week for four year old to be secured in the near future. “The Napthine Government has advocated strongly for the extension of kindergarten funding to 15 hours per week and I am very pleased with the agreement we have recently negotiated with the commonwealth,” he said. “We value kinder education, and the Napthine government had already committed to our full share of funding in our 2014/2015 budget. “Contrary to yet another baseless ALP fear campaign, parents can rest assured that the future of their child's kindergarten education is secure under a re-elected Napthine government." Assistant federal Education Minister Sussan Ley said the one-year funding deal had been negotiated amid a Productivity Commission review of national early childhood education procedures which was due to hand down its report in late October. State Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell, who is responsible for Victorian preschool education, said the funding deal had come after “several months of sustained and productive discussions between the Napthine government and the federal government” and would provide “certainty for families and services for 15 hours of kindergarten in 2015”. “The announcement that the Commonwealth will provide funding demonstrates that Assistant Minister for Education Sussan Ley and her colleagues have listened to the states and territories and value the national partnership agreement that provides 15 hours of kindergarten per child, per week,” Ms Lovell said. Federal member for Flinders Greg Hunt said the Abbott government was “committed to supporting high-quality early childhood education and care for Australian families” and further funding announcements would be made after the Productivity Commission review was completed. “Extending the national partnership for 12 months is a common-sense approach, given the current Productivity Commission Inquiry into Child Care and Early Learning is not due to hand its report to the government until late October this year,” Mr Hunt said. “The government will also take into account findings from an independent review into the current national partnership on preschools, the Federation White Paper and the review of the National Quality Framework governing child care and early childhood learning quality standards and regulations. He said the government was committed to improving access to preschools by ensuring new national partnership arrangements made funding available to “all types of accredited preschool programmes – regardless of whether they are delivered through schools, stand-alone preschools or long day care centres”. “These new rules mean a fairer go for all preschools and families by ensuring funding is distributed equitably, which is particularly important in disadvantaged and regional areas.” However, Ms Gleixner said the funding deal struck between the state and federal governments ignored financial arrangements for infrastructure and teacher training provided under the previous partnership arrangement. “Under the partnership, the federal government provided Victoria $368.7 million over the life of the agreement to provide significant infrastructure funding, increase kinder hours and extend the professional qualifications of staff,” she said. “The Napthine government has also dumped the agreement. The state budget provided no funding for kindergarten infrastructure for 2014/2015 and beyond.” She said “only Labor” would advocate for kinder kids, their parents and staff and “stand up to Tony Abbot on their behalf”. “I have such fond memories of my 3 and 4 year old kinder years with my wonderful teachers at Flinders Kinder. I would hate to think other children in Nepean couldn’t have the same,” she said.

Scout hall ready for another century THE 1st Dromana Sea Scouts’ hall has been given a rebirth – and a renewed purpose. The living RSL memorial was built in 1919 by returned WW1 soldiers and opened in 1920. Known as the Soldiers Memorial Hall it was made of granite from Anthony’s Nose, with some works done in recent years to withstand the elements. It was a popular venue for balls and celebrations over the years, and later used by WW2 soldiers as their Dromana RSL. The hall’s annex was the first library on the Mornington Peninsula. With state government funding of $47,000 and the support of Scouts Australia – Victorian branch, the hall was reopened last week creating a purpose-but facility for Scouting, and also benefitting the broader community. The hall will be the hub for Dromana’s Australia Day Celebrations next January - 2015 is its 10th year – and used by those community groups involved for the duration of the event. During the renovations the old kitchen was demolished and a fully fitted kitchen put in, shared toilet and shower facilities built and new storage space created. The original fire place was restored. The scouts painted the scout hall and adjoining annex, and added new floor coverings. Local tradesmen were involved in the works, generating a community feel. Mornington MP Martin Dixon attended the reopening, alongside representatives of the Scout Association and the community. He was presented with his first

THE Great War came to the Mornington Peninsula 100 years ago and life was turned upside down. Young men imbued with patriotic fervour and a “she’ll be right” attitude signed up to fight in the first of the world wars. Families were split, hearts torn; sons and fathers went away and never came home – or, if they did, many were adversely affected for the rest of their lives. To mark the event - and to see how residents responded to the beginnings of war - Mornington Peninsula Family History Society will hold a seminar on Saturday 4 October called Our Community Remembers 1914. The commemorative day at the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, Bay St, South Frankston, will examine the leaving from Frankston of the First Expeditionary Force, and acknowledge the effect and sacrifice World War 1 had on the people of the Mornington Peninsula. It will examine the formation of patriotic groups, women’s committees and fund raising events. It will also reflect on the lives of those less ablebodied men left behind. Speakers include Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor and Commodore (Ret)

Jim Dickson. There will be displays of archival material, video presentations and digital photographic exhibitions from historical societies, schools, Australian Great War Association, Heritage Football Association, YMCA, Museum Cerberus, Air Training Corps Point Cook Museum, Ritchies and Cameron’s grocery stores and Frankston City Library. The Mornington Peninsula Family History Society was established in 1979 and, with about 200 financial members, is one of Victoria’s largest genealogical societies. Its library and resource centre, based at the Frankston South recreation and community centre in Towerhill Rd, is funded and managed by volunteers. The society holds bi-monthly Saturday seminars for members and the public on a variety of topics. Often around 30-40 people attend these events. “The society has played a big part in the Mornington Peninsula community for more than 30 years, assisting and encouraging people to be aware of their own heritage as well as local history,” organiser Marlene Piercy said. “The group is friendly and enthusiastic about doing their own family history but also interested in helping others start or in trying to solve particular mysteries.” Our Community Remembers 1914 is free and includes afternoon tea.

LETTERS Unfair process I have very grave fears with the way the process involving opposition to the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) has been handled. Firstly, many people are aware and very angry that a councillor who opposes and has voted against the SPA at the proposed foreshore site - Cr Graham Pittock - has been found guilty at the Frankston Magistrates Court of a conflict of interest over the matter. Secondly, and what is angering an incredible amount of people, is that a motion was called to stop work on the SPA by councillors opposed to the SPA at a council meeting on Monday 8 September because they knew Cr David Gibb, who supports the proposal, was on holiday and couldn't attend. Not surprisingly the motion was therefore carried 5-4 with no casting vote allowed by the mayor. To say this is tampering with fair democratic process that most Australians hold dear is a huge understatement-regardless of a councillor’s point of view. I am very pleased that a rescission motion relating to the 8 September motion to halt work has been set for vote on 13 October when all councillors will be present and a fair and Australian standard of voting will take place. My sincere hope is that the council votes to a standard is expected of the Australian constitution. Whatever a councillor’s view on any decision at council level, the community has the right to a fair vote by our elected representatives - especially on such an important decision as this - and that those opposed to any decisions accept the majority decision in good faith. Think about it again. Councillors have voted to halt a project like the SPA because someone who sup-

ports it is unable to attend - I am still getting my head around how deceitful that is to our community. [Environment and Climate Change] Minister [Ryan] Smith has already given consent for the SPA, [federal Environment] Minister Greg Hunt and [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon support it - and an overwhelming silent majority of citizens and ratepayers support the proposal. Tenders have been sought and their designs appear on the council website. I believe Cr [Hugh] Fraser also seeks councillor approval to write to Mr Smith to "withdraw his consent to the proposed use of the Rosebud foreshore" for the SPA. I hope Cr Fraser doesn't muddy the waters further by failing to advise Mr Smith that all councilors were not present for the 8 September vote. A community such as the southern Mornington Peninsula - with its at times dangerous water conditions - more than most communities needs a pool for many reasons, but especially to teach children basics of water safety in a safe and healthy environment. Stewart Johnson, Rye

Eye of the beholder I read somewhere that Cr Anne Shaw thought it a “reprehensible act” that Cr David Gibb was not present and therefore denied the right to vote against (because that is how he would have voted) the new coastal strategy plan that states “coastal crown land is not to be used for structures unless their functionality depends on them being near water”, which clearly prevents structures such as swimming complexes from being constructed on coastal Crown land. The arrogance of the pro-pool councillors is breathtaking. Apparently they know more about

the environment than the Environment Minister. I think a more reprehensible act was the underhanded manner in which Cr Graham Pittock was found to have a conflict of interest because he has a gym in Dromana. The only concern Cr Pittock has is that he doesn’t want it on the foreshore. What I also find more reprehensible is a councillor who was against a pool on the foreshore and then changes his commitment once in office. What is more reprehensible is the verbal abuse that Cr Hugh Fraser had to endure from pro-pool councillors, when he put forward the motion and the mayor allowing the abuse flow. John Cain, McCrae

Danger road

Worrying debt

I haven’t heard much discussion about the environment as we lead up to the state election. This is rather concerning considering what is happening nationally as the Coalition seems determined to reverse the minimal progress Australia has made tackling climate change. I hope Victoria can take the lead and encourage innovation, development and job creation in the renewable energy sector. But this won’t happen unless we let our candidates (especially those in marginal seats like Frankston), know that we do care about our environment and our future. I encourage all in the Frankston electorate to drop into the Enviro Hub, 14 Wells St, Frankston, and take the pledge. Environment Victoria and Get Up will pass this onto the local candidates to let them know that we do care and, hopefully, we will get the environmental policies that we need and deserve. Lucette Talbot, Baxter

It is concerning to have the Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors canvassing opinions on the preferred design for a $40 Million aquatic centre project and, it would seem, fighting among themselves over tactics and protocols when surely, as a first step, the public should be given the financial assumptions and projections before this sort of project progresses. Given that half the catchment area around the Rosebud foreshore is Port Phillip and there is only a thin strip of residential land along the coast, one would have to doubt that there is sufficient population to support such a facility. Like most ratepayers I am more concerned that every year my rates go up by substantially more than the CPI and the last thing we need is more debt to service and a massive operating subsidy to fund. Those councillors pushing this project could damage this shire’s finances for decades if the financial parameters aren’t right. Nigel Austin, Somerville

I have talked about this subject before and if I sound like a broken record, so be it. I drive a mini bus, a car, and I ride my motorbike along the Esplanade and, in my view, cyclists should be forbidden to ride between the Mt Martha village shops and the Martha Point underpass [at Safety Beach]. The road along this section is much too narrow to accommodate cyclists. A tragic accident is just waiting to happen. John Nagle, Mt Martha

Something missing

Renewable cost If the federal government dumps the renewable energy target it will mean

fewer renewables and less competition in the energy market, which will mean higher prices. With gas and electricity prices continuing to rise in the coming decade and renewable energy continuing to become cheaper as technology improves, it makes sense to continue to invest in the future with clean energy as it only has a positive outcome for thousands of jobs, billions more in investments and less carbon emissions, also savings on household energy. Australia should not be left behind in this growing world of clean energy technology. Suzanne Vigenser, Rosebud

Outcome supported Per Carlsen (‘Time for change’, Letters, The News 16/9/14) regarding his group's (Growing Our Community) beliefs begs the question who he actually represents. The majority of environmentally concerned and neighbourhood proud Woodlands [Mt Eliza] residents are satisfied with the recent outcomes of the Minister of Planning Matthew Guy's determination of building block size in this unique flora and fauna two third acre area. As the convenor of the Mt Eliza Community Alliance, I can assure readers that most locals both this side of the Nepean Highway and the beach side, are happy with the outcome. It was also wonderful to see that Terry O'Shea (‘Council review due’, Letters, The News 16/9/14) writing about a council review in the same edition is alive and well and enjoying whatever he does in the resort/ retirement destination of Halls Head, Western Australia.

Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll with charity in mind THE Rosebud Rockers have more than dancing on their minds when they get together for a shindig. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping charity. The group donated the $750 proceeds of their recent dance to the Southern Peninsula Cancer Support Group. Run by Sister Carmel, of Rosebud, the support group has helped peninsula cancer sufferers for 26 years. Sister Carmel, who was awarded an Order of Australia medal in 2007, was instrumental in having a radiotherapy centre opened at Frankston Private Hospital in 2006, so patients didn't have to travel to Melbourne for treatment. Her service provides emotional and practical support for cancer patients and their families, and education and understanding of cancer treatments, as well as practical assistance transporting patients to treatment centres. The Rosebud-based club holds rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n roll dances with live bands at the West Rosebud Bowls Club every two months. It holds weekly dance classes at the bowls club at 7pm for beginners and 8pm for intermediates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great bunch people,â&#x20AC;?

long-time member Ros Warren, of Rye, said. Members hold regular social events, attend dances as a group â&#x20AC;&#x153;and have lots of fun doing thisâ&#x20AC;?. Mrs Warren is busy planning for her upcoming 7th Annual Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;N Rods Festival over the weekend of April 11-12 next year. The events over the past six years have so far raised more than $20,000 for the Rosebud Hospital. Adelaide band The Lincolns has been booked for the extravaganza at Eastbourne Primary School. They will play at the Saturday night dance and then on the Sunday alongside The Fender Benders and The John Lawrence Band. The event attracts hundreds of dance enthusiasts to experience a hot-rod show and shine, market stalls and, of course, rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n roll dancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was always our dream to get a weekend like this up and running,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Warren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard to get things goings at first. We started with own money years ago and there were lots of expenses, but they have become very popular.

FEATURE PROPERTY

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

Sky high living for the finer things in life FROM this delightful single-level home you get to witness one of the most spectacular views of Port Phillip Bay every day. In complete harmony with the block, the house uses the land well and has a design that certainly capitalises on the view with an exquisite garden setting providing the perfect finishing touch as a welcoming retreat from the hustle and bustle of weekday life. The main deck at the front of the house is an absolute entertainers delight and very private. Set high above the street, the outside action is shielded by neat hedging, and for New Years Eve fireworks there will be no better seat in the house. Internally, a central modern kitchen features a stainless-steel under bench oven, dishwasher, gas hot plates, and there is plenty of cupboards and bench space with a choice of casual or formal dining areas close by. The separate lounge has a cosy gas log-effect heater â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there is also split system air-conditioning, and this area neatly intergrates with the parents retreat featured in the master bedroom suite. The comfortable main bedroom has an ensuite, and a second bedroom has built-in robes. The larger third room serves perfectly as a studio, rumpus or games room depending on the family makeup, and being set in the north corner it gets the best aspect and views. The home is set lengthwise across a 977-square metre block with a state national park at the end of the street, and enjoys an enviable location so close to many world class golf courses, wineries and attractions.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Record entries for Royal Show Compiled by Melissa Hodge TENDERS for additions to the State School, Frankston, will be received by the Department of Public Works up to Thursday, 8th October. *** WE are informed by the President of the shire (Cr Oates) that he has now enrolled 40 candidates for the Second Expeditionary Force. *** THE Gay Gordons’ Club, Frankston, on Wednesday, presented Mr Coleman, one of their members who is leaving with the Expeditionary Force, with a gun metal wristlet watch, suitably engraved. *** MUCH regret was felt on the show ground on Tuesday when it was learned that Mr. W. F. Towt, of Devon Park, Coldstream, had suddenly died. After his brother had been round on Snowden in one of the jumping competitions Mr. Towt remarked that he was not well. A doctor ordered his removal to a private hospital, and in twenty minutes life was extinct. The cause of death was heart failure. Mr Towt, who was only 33 years of age, was well known in the Lilydale district. He served through the Boer war, and would have volunteered for the First Expedition-

ary Force about to leave Australia, but was restrained by family considerations. *** PROCLAMATION has been made under the provisions of the Foodstuffs Commodities Act 1914, that persons holding any of the foodstuffs or commodities in the quantities named, on the 21st September, must furnish a return to the nearest police station, showing the quantities held, not later than Thursday, 24th inst. The notifiable list as follows:-Wheat, barley, oats or maize, 100 bushels; hay, chaff or straw, 5 tons; flour, oatmeal, rice, pollard, bran, potatoes, sugar, molasses and other syrups, 1 ton; jam, bacon and hams, fish (tinned or preserved), milk (condensed, powdered, or concentrated) 5001bs; beef, mutton and lamb, 1 cwt; butter, 20 cwt; cheese 5 cwt; tea or coffee 1001bs; salt 10 tons; tobacco leaf, manufactured tobacco (including cigars & cigarettes) 100 1bs ; kerosene and petrol, 1000 gallons. Official forms upon which to make returns are obtainable from the police. *** MR H Masterton, of Frankston, was the recipient, on Friday evening last, of a very handsome enlarged photograph, of the Peninsula Association team of Footballers who played a team of Essendon players, on Saturday 15th August,

presented to him by a few of the supporters of football. The photograph was taken by Mr J. C Garrood and was mounted in a very nice frame, the whole reflecting great credit on the artist’s taste and skill. Cr Ritchie, who presided, spoke in very complimentary terms of Mr Masterton, as a patron of sport of all description, and more particularly as a strong supporter of football in Frankston. Mr Hartland, vice-president of the association (who was deputed to make the presentation) endorsed the chairman’s remarks, as did also Captain Madden, Messrs Picking J. B. Jolly, Mason, and others. Mr Masterton, in responding, said he hardly knew how to respond to the many flattering remarks that had been made about him, but he had always taken a keen interest in anything that tended for the advancement of Frankston, and would always continue to do so. He thought that getting the Essendon team to play a game with the Peninsula association, was a step in the right direction and was conducive to improving the game of football, and he would endeavour to make it an annual affair. With regard to the success of the game in the afternoon, and the supper at night, he could not take too much credit as the weight of organising and carrying out both functions was borne by Mr J B. Jolly, and to him was due most of the praise of the success that they both turned out to be. After several other toasts had been honoured and duly responded to, the company dispersed after having spent a very pleasant social hour. *** HOW TO ADDRESS LETTERS TO THE TROOPS. THE Postmaster-General (Mr. Spence) stated on Monday that in order to facilitate prompt delivery of letters and other postal articles for members of the Australian Imperial Force after it leaves Australia they should be addressed as follows: Number (if any).Rank. Name. (Head quarters, squadron, company, etc.). (Regiment, battalion, etc.). (Brigade) 1st Australian Division, Or 1st Light Horse Brigade, England. The following is an example: No 147, Sergt. W. Jones, 9th Battery, 3rd Field Artillery Brigade, 1st Australian Division, England. Mr Spence points out that it would be advisable for all members of the force to advise their relatives and friends as to the postal requirements. A letter or package not addressed as above might easily astray.

*** A SHORT time back, while a certain general was inspecting a regiment just about to depart for new quarters, he asked a young subaltern what would be his next order if he were in command of a regiment passing over a plain in a hostile country, and he found his front blocked by artillery, a brigade of cavalry on his right flank, and a morass on his left, while his retreat was cut off by a large body of infantry. “Halt! Order arms, ground arms, kneel down, say your prayers!” replied the subaltern. *** THE Patriotic Committee at Frankston unanimously decided to accept the offer of St Paul’s Club, Frankston to repeat the comedy ‘Who’s Who’ on Wednesday next in aid of the Patriotic Fund. New jokes to be introduced in ‘Who’s Who?’ on Wednesday. St Paul’s Club is working hard to make the Patriotic performance a greater success even than the previous one. *** Under more congenial weather conditions, the forty-fourth annual exhibition of The Royal Victorian Agricultural Society was ushered in on Monday. A bleak looking morning gave way at noon to cloudless sunshine. The rains that had fallen over the southern part of the state imparted a velvety freshness to the turf, and the work of judging the exhibits, which occupied the whole day, was carried out under the happiest of atmospheric influences. The society did much during the past year to justify its claim of increased patronage from the public. Extra accommodation for man and beast has been in the forefront of its constructive programme, and handsome new pavilions for horses and cattle and additional eating, aggregating in cost some £10,000 are now prominent features of its equipment. The response from exhibitors established a record - for the first time the entries ran over 10,000. Gloomy foreboding based on the financial depression created by the war, and practical certainty of a lean season were not realised. It is a simple truth that the primary producer’s back is always bent, but cannot be broken. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 26 September 1914.

Everything you want to know about being a miserable twerp

By Stuart McCullough SOME things are hard to measure. No matter how powerful or profound they are, in many regards they cannot be gauged and cannot be captured. Into this category I’d place things like love and hate. Sensitivity, however, is a notable exception. Sensitivity can be measured not in metres, miles or in litres but by the songs of Simon and Garfunkel. The greater the number of songs in your possession, the more sensitive a soul you clearly are. In fact, extreme sensitivity is evident where the Garfunkel quotient is skewed to an especially high level. Put simply, anyone who owns a copy of Bright Eyes is unlikely to be able to withstand direct sunlight. Simon and Garfunkel have a lot to answer for. For a certain kind of person, they were the template for all it was to be young, shy and fiercely intelligent (such intelligence having been self-diagnosed). Sadly, I was certainly a certain kind of person and I regarded Simon and Garfunkel less as role models as I did my musical brothers and soul mates. My aim in life was to score as highly on the Simon and Garfunkometer as possible. It is often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It’s also the creepiest. But despite this, between the years 1988 and 1993, I bore an uncanny resemblance to Art Garfunkel as he appeared on the Bookends LP. Right down to the black skivvy. But if you’re serious about emulating Simon and/or Garfunkel, you need more than a mere skivvy. You need a nylon-stringed acoustic guitar. The ‘nylon’ was Simon and Garfunkel’s weapon of choice. Should you decide that the life of a misery guts is for you, the first thing you need to do is get one of these suckers. Back before learning a musical instrument was replaced by uploading pornography onto Facebook, nylon-stringed acoustic guitars were plentiful. These were the instruments that were gifted to plucky youngsters who dreamed of playing like Jimmy Page, but ended up struggling to get through Greensleeves without stopping, before giving up and consigning the whole exercise to the judo-bin of history. Those who persevered and who weren’t rewarded for their efforts with an electric guitar, learned to play folk songs. Folk music is often referred to as a “gateway” form of music, in that it often leads to harder, more dangerous varieties. Indeed, as a musical snob let me say that mere folk is for lightweights, whereas Simon and Garfunkel is the very stuff of the mythical hard-core. They played folk-rock. It’s one thing to be just another jerk strumming a guitar; it’s also one thing to be a jerk strumming a guitar while standing in front of a drum kit. That, my friends, is “folk-rock”. But to execute folk rock

to the standard demanded by Messrs Simon and Garfunkel, you’ve also got to be able to stare off into the middle distance. The importance of the middle distance to music is, ironically enough, often overlooked. It creates the impression that the singer may be able to see into the future. In that regard, Art Garfunkel was a blond afro-headed flux capacitor on legs, as no one could stare into the middle distance with the same level of conviction. Once you’ve got the fundamentals in place it’s time to start writing some songs. Here’s where the trouble really set in. Let me be the first to admit that in my late teens and early 20s, I had a chronic case of the Simon and Garfunkels. So bad was my condition that I kept a nylon-stringed guitar close to me at all times in order to ensure that when the melancholy muse struck, I’d be ready. It wouldn’t take much to set me off either. At one point running out of fresh milk was a crisis of sufficient standing to prompt a song. Even when a genuine misfortune came my way, I routinely responded through music never thinking that the song I was making was far more painful that the event I was trying to document. It goes without saying except that it would leave a nasty blank spot on the page that nearly all the songs I wrote were really about my favourite topic – me. But while this was a subject of inexhaustible interest to me, it’s likely that it was – at best – of passing interest to others. At worst it was a major source of irritation. Undeterred, I went further than merely writing my songs of misery, strumming an acoustic guitar and staring off into the middle distance while wearing a black skivvy – I decided to do all these things in full view of the public. In many regards, I went the full-Funkel and paid a heavy price for my efforts. I couldn’t tell you what brought me to my senses. Whether it was the indifference that greeted my best musical efforts or just growing up, I couldn’t say. Maybe it was the realisation that while Simon and Garfunkel talked (or sang) the sensitive loser talk, their lives bore no resemblance to this at all. These guys weren’t crippled by shyness and spending their Saturday nights finger picking and staring off out of windows in the hope that the phone might right. They were highly successful musicians who’d sold millions of albums. They may have sung about sitting about reading poetry and pondering the future of the theatre, but in truth they were off filming Catch 22 and marrying Princess Leia. Perhaps it was simply the James Brown cassette someone gave me that helped me see the error of my ways. Thank goodness for that. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance ROSS D Wylie (surname is actually spelt Wyllie) was born in 1948 and grew up in Brisbane. As a young child he suffered polio that left him with a limp. Ross turned to music and by the time he was 16 he was singing in local band The Kodiaks before releasing his first single Short Skirts followed by A Bit of Love. Ross was later offered the job of compere for a new pop show called Uptight and moved to Melbourne. Uptight was then born in October 1967. Two years later Ross recorded the Ray Stevens song Funny Man which became Ross’ first national hit. It was followed by a Johnny Young composition The Star (arranged by John Farrar) which became a number one hit and was also recorded by Herman’s Hermits. Ross later left the television series and teamed up with Fable Records in 1971 and recorded He Gives Us all His Love (a Randy Newman song) and It Takes Time. In 1972 he released Sweet White Dove produced by Brian Cadd.

By Gary Turner

The laughs are set to continue in Simon Phillips’ fluid and passionate production of Verdi’s Falstaff (1 -11 December) starring baritone Warwick Fyfe in the title role as the mischievous old rogue. It’s a keenly-observed portrait of a middle-aged man trying to recapture his youth through attempted sexual liaisons. www.opera.org.au *** JERRY Herman’s Tony Award winning La Cage Aux Folles starring Todd McKenney, Simon Burke, Rhonda Burchmore and Marg Downey will show from November 22 – December 7 at the Arts Centre. Tickets www.theproductioncompany.com.au *** PIECES is the second single from 2014 Star Maker Jared Porter’s debut album East to West. Jared duets with the beautiful Kaylee Bell, 2013 Star Maker. Kaylee was announced Female Artist of the Year for the second time at the New Zealand Country Music Awards. Entries are now open for the 2015 Toyota Star Maker competition. www.starmaker.com.au/entryform *** TOP TEN ALBUMS for a concert at the Palais Theatre on January 29th. Mick Jones teamed up with Lou Gramm, thus making Foreigner One of the biggest successes of the 70s and 80s. Early hits Cold as Ice, Hot Blooded featured Gramm’s soaring vocals before moving into the 80s with hits like Urgent and the power ballad Waiting for a Girl Like You. This song, a hit in its own right, provided the template for what would become Foreigner’s biggest success. Australia’s Tina Arena and US singer Mariah Carey both covered I want to know what love is. www.cuggentertainment.com ***

A NEARLY flawless copy of Superman’s comic book debut has sold for a record $3.46 million. A New York comics dealer submitted the record setting bid in the eBay auction for Action Comics No.1, first published in 1938. About 100 copies are believed to exist. *** OPERA Australia celebrates all things Italian, with opera on stage and romantic, themed dining off stage at the Arts Centre Melbourne this season. The season begins with a new production by John Bell of Puccini’s heartbreaking classic, Tosca (12 November - 13 December). Featuring one of the

most spectacular opera sets in recent years, the Tosca set includes glittering gold leaf and ornate paintings recreated from the famous Sant’Andrea della Valle cathedral in Italy. The glorious set by Michael Scott-Mitchell has been extended to make the most of the spacious stage in the State Theatre. Humour and whimsy collide in Donizetti’s comic opera, Don Pasquale (19 November - 12 December). Set in the colourful streets of Italy in the 1950s, this is a bright tale of merriment and misadventure, starring opera’s favourite comedic couple, Rachelle Durkin and Conal Coad.

normal emotional insecurities, as in a feeling of a lower status, or simply a fraud? Years ago as a professional actor, mainly on stage in a world fraught with ambition, networking and bad mouthing I had an epiphany. As I saw it most actors had an extra serving of this complex, which became a form of advantage if any particular big name type honed in on me. It’s surprising how a simple sentence like “At least I can act” can have on actors having a period possibly or otherwise above their station in life. Insecurity reigns in an industry where at any one time only some 5% are in work. Much later, possibly late 60’s, it dawned this complex occurs at various levels in many walks of life, politicians included, no matter the public showing. It helps to be aware of this side of human nature. Am I a fraud? Indubitably. *** THOSE flashy pictures of grand visions compliments of our state government’s direct line to the Herald Sun are intriguing. I see them as obvious pre-election nonsense but one cannot escape the fact our government has done the research and seriously conclude the pie in the skies really do work. One wonders why, until a read for a day or two of the Your Say pages in the same newspaper discloses the clarity of the public’s think-

ing. Comedy capers. *** CHARLIE Rich song “Behind Closed Doors” as in “no-one knows what’s going on”. “This passion, though it begins with the young, yet forsakes not the old, or rather suffers no one who is truly it’s servant to grow old, but makes the aged participators of it not less than the tender maiden” [Emerson]. Alas, the reality of the undeserved slur- “a dirty old man”. The ultra taboo topic of sex? Pedophilia is acceptable as a subject, thieving, bashing, betraying, even killing but mention bedroom stuff as serious orderly conversation and it’s “too much information”. Aristotle’s advice: “Coyness serves as an ornament in youth and a defect in old age”. Fascinating. Trained to be hung up; all of us. Then again... *** FROM Michael Montaigne: Queen Joanna of Naples (14th century) caused her first husband Andreosso to be hanged from the grill of her window by a gold and silver cord, plaited by her own hands, once she discovered that neither his organs or his potency corresponded to the hopes she had conceived of his matrimonial duties from his stature, his beauty, his youth and his disposition, by which he had won her and deceived her. (A pig in a poke?). Interesting. Still, on

an everyday level while it may be nice to wake up with a vision alongside, it may well be a nightmare for the vision. Eve started it. *** GOT this flyer from a new wine crowd called Winephoria. $50 trial offer voucher and printed on the back “Cliff, what do you call that euphonic feeling of excitement and joy through the love of quality wine?” It depends how many she drinks. Porphyry Pearl was once the go. *** AS a kid I loved a comic strip “Little Tommy Tring-he could walk through anything”. The dream of slipping into a bank vault and helping myself. As an adult I could use my Tommy Tring powers to choof to Canberra and film all those pollies doing all those things they tell us not to do. Post on facebook: HYPOCRISY? I wonder if Jeff Kennett has a framed picture of his mentor (Baroness Margaret Thatcher) on his study wall? *** I’M prepared to believe the necessity to raise our security level, temporarily ignoring the lack of similar action after Port Arthur and Hoddle Street, but paying many billions of Aussie dollars for a submarine to be built in Japan or wherever, and not delivered before 2035

A Grain of Salt A GENTLEMAN at my local RSL checks out my socks; thinks they should be red; no surprise on the Mornington Peninsula where Liberals hold a strong majority and the Herald-Sun is the newspaper of choice. It’s a joke, the red socks, but I’ve often had the “far left” tag applied. Not so, left or right; middle is more accurate, a vague two pot long black socialist. I voted for the Sex Party once, way back when sex was a reality, now a vague memory. Prior to, as a virgin, I had a touch of Tony Abbott with a liking for Bob Santamaria. As a general philosophy I disagree with most of the Liberal Party’s motivations. Having said this most of all of them (both sides) are primarly there to feather their own nests. Cynical again? Of course. I mean... *** WHEN one sees a situation where super rich money (Gina Rinehart) can single handedly bring down the government’s mining tax, albeit inadequately prepared, followed by PUP chief Clive Palmer paying his way into politics and calling the shots along with his band of puppets, and our big brother leaders (Tony and Julie) walking the talk on the world stage, more accurately offstage right, chests thumping, why shouldn’t I? *** AN Inferiority complex, aside from

By Cliff Ellen becomes a super strain on my thinking. Please, kindly inform me why, if anyone knows why. *** I DO so enjoy those dulcet tones of Mathias Corman advising me on financial matters...Lend Lease for the East West Link-there’s a surprise...“To mock the parliament is to mock the people of Victoria” says Premier Denny on scarlet pimpernel Geoff Shaw. Wrong mate. It’s both sides of politics who mock the parliament, and therefore mock the people of Victoria...IPA director John Roskam in Teddy’s old seat of Hawthorn. “I was very encouraged by the grassroots support I have received”. No doubt from his Moet drinking right wing mates...To William and Kate; a playmate for George. Dane, Kylie? I’m estatic...Farewell to Joan Rivers. Comedian par excellence....“The winds which men most fear are those which uncover them” [Ariston] hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com

Sharks are the undisputed champions NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FOR the fourth time in the past seven seasons, Sorrento tasted premiership glory in the Nepean League Grand Final. After limping into the Grand Final and being punished by Dromana last season, Sorrento took all of the experience they had over that decorated journey and put Crib Point to the sword on Saturday, winning 15.10 (100) to 5.12 (42). It was a lifeless and uneventful 2014 Grand Final, although there was massive crowd at Hastingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thomas Barclay Reserve. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not taking anything away from Sorrentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way they wanted it. Without question, 85 per cent of the crowd was on the side of Crib Point. Like a Victorian AFL side going to Adelaide Oval, Sorrento needed to get off to a good start and keep the natives quiet. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what they did and they mastered it. The crowd was against the Sharks the minute the teams were introduced onto the ground. The only way they could take the emotion out of the game was to take control of the match early. And take control they did, from the very first bounce. They were clean and crisp and their good players got a feel of the footy early. In fact, other than a 12 minute period late in the third quarter, Sorrento was in total control of the contest. Sorrento didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need emotion from the crowd. They generated it themselves. Sorrento worked for one another. Their appetite for doing all the team things, like blocking,

was evident from the first quarter. Whatever it took to get a team mate in a better position, freeup a team mate of protect one of their own, Sorrento was prepared to do. They also ensured that they got numbers to the contest. Not one or two contests, but every contest. Sorrento did not allow Crib Point to run and spread and get them on the overlap. At no point in the match were the Pies able to get their run and carry game going, even when the momentum swung in that third quarter. The Pies were constantly forced to get back over their mark and take a long kick down the line, given Sorrento was in position and working as effectively back, as they do forward. Crib Point turned over the footy, such was the pressure applied further up the ground from the Sharks and their movement into the forward line always gave Sorrentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backs a chance to spoil. When the heat was turned up at different times, Sorrento stuck to the task, such was their experience in these big games. Crib Point on the other hand got caught up in that emotion and took their mind off the job for periods. From a physical point of view, Sorrento flexed their muscles. They were bigger and stronger across the ground and they upended a number of Crib Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players. It also allowed Sorrento to win those one on one contests, which were always going to be the key in winning the game. Both sides went in with very good forward lines. It was always more about which midfield was going to give their forwards the best supply. Continued Next Page

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard ...continued Sorrento’s ability to win those in and under contests for longer periods allowed the likes of Leigh Poholke, Miles Pitt and Zac Byrns to get plenty of supply up forward. Sorrento’s coach, once again, was magnificent. Troy Schwarze was the first player to get a clean possession in the first quarter and he was still running on top of the ground at the end. Troy had plenty of helpers. Sorrento’s midfield depth was always going to be Crib Point’s biggest issue and it proved to be the case.

Leigh Treeby, Kayle Stringer-Morris, skipper James Hallahan, Daniel Grant, Ben Schwarze, David Lawson and Grant Johnson all had a go through the middle and they were outstanding. Ryan Jeffrey at centre half forward was superb. Jeffrey’s work rate is second to none and he just gives his defenders and midfielders something to kick to all day. Whilst Poholke and Pitt are the finishers and get the accolades, Jeffrey is the man provide space behind him. The Sorrento defence was great yet again. Chris Bagot did a wonderful job on Glenn Boyd, Ben McCormack was

tireless, Jonny Casper got a job and did it superbly, Tyrren Head provided enormous run and drive and kicked a brilliant goal and Guy Stringer was his typical, classy self, reading the play, intercepting kicks forward and using his long kicking to advantage. Ryan Williams in the ruck went toe to toe with Team of the Year ruckman James Cook and took the honours. Williams had much more of an impact around the ground. Matt Dobrowolski and Josh Brigden may have missed a lot of the early success, however, will be a major part in their future success given their great

seasons and important roles they played in the big one. Jon Croad may have has 25 stitches in his leg after workplace accident, however, he was a major contributor, while Trevor Mattison just never stops sticking his head over the footy and laying the big tackles. Only an even contribution from every player results in a premiership – there wasn’t one who didn’t do what they were required to do for Sorrento on Saturday. For Crib Point, they were just outclassed. The Pies didn’t have an even contribution from the entire group and this

was the reason they lost. Jacob Cook and Zac Condick down back were very good, Dean Warry was arguably the best player on the ground, Beau Monty and Kyle Arnott were tireless and Paul Smith’s work rate was first class. Sorrento was just so much better and deserved to be crowned 2014 Nepean League Premiers. In the Reserves, Somerville proved it was the best team in 2014,winning the flag against Devon Meadows, while Rosebud completed an undefeated 2014 with a win against Mt Eliza in the Under 18s.

Teams waste no time with post-season moves FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt Edwards a Python FORMER West Coast Eagle, North Melbourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards will play for Pines next season in Peninsula League. Edwards signed with the Pythons last Thursday night. The last time Edwards played on the Peninsula, he booted 100 goals for the Frankston Dolphins, winning the Frosty Miller and Liston Trophy along the way. The Seaford junior has a linked with the Pythons through his partner. However, it’s also the dollars on offer which has helped to lure Edwards to the snake pit. Pines have been careful with their spending in recent years, waiting for the right opportunity to come along.

Regardless of the cost, Edwards’ signing will generate enormous revenue for the club, renewed interest in the club and the opportunity to recruit others. Of those who are said to be joining Edwards is former junior and Frankston Dolphin Luke Potts. What has been lost in these two big signings is the recruitment of Pat Swayne as coach. Swayne has previously coached the club and is a Pines premiership player. He has spent the past five seasons at Frankston Dolphins as an assistant to Simon Goosey. Guerra at Chelsea CHELSEA has been the club to put together the big deal being sort by Hawthorn Premiership player Brent Guerra. There were many clubs chasing Guerra and the price tag was said to be

bigger than we have seen in local footy before. However, a ‘coterie group’ has been formed and is looking after Guerra’s salary. The former Port Adelaide and St Kilda player is also said to be bring some more than handy types with him. Mouse is back Former Hastings coach Glenn ‘Mouse’ Michie was back in the coaching mix last week and had interviews with Pearcedale and Devon Meadows. Tonight (Monday night), Glenn Michie will officially become the coach of the Panthers. Devon Meadows have plenty to work with, considering their reserves played in the Grand Final on Saturday. Close mate of Michie, Dylan Hand, is expected to join him, while there are others who are ‘keen to know’ what

‘Mouse’ is doing. One of those is Hastings premiership player and reserves coach Craig Perrott, who is considering a move to assist Michie. Muston a Bomber THE News reported first more than a week ago that Peninsula Team of the Year player Beau Muston would be announced as coach of Frankston Bombers. Following the story in last week’s paper, there were leading officials at Frankston Bombers who scoffed at the very suggestion. However, last Friday, the club announced Muston as coach. There is a big rumour that there are a handful of Langwarrin players who are ready to follow. Trouble at the Blues

WE broke a story a couple of weeks ago regarding Hastings and the fact that there was some trouble in the camp. While they lose Dylan Hand to Devon Meadows, it is also understood that Dale Alanis and Justin Berry will no longer be at the club next season. Word is that the playing group made it clear that they didn’t want Berry or Alanis at the club next season. The club tried its best to defuse the situation but the story lingered. The next few weeks will be very interesting for Hastings, who also lose Stephen Charalambous to retirement. There’s also a big question mark over the future of Taylor and Kain Stratton and Peter Mawson. Taylor Stratton was right in the mix for the Pines’ coaching job, before it was given to Swayne.

Stonecats win a thriller

PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FOR three quarters in the Peninsula League Grand Final, Frankston YCW were in total control against Mornington. However, a last quarter revival turned an uneventful and somewhat boring game into a contest that excited the crowd and created some real emotion. While the Dogs completely dominated the last 25 minutes of the contest, it wasn’t enough to take the ultimate prize. Frankston YCW deserved to win the most important game of football for the season and they did so, 8.15 (63) to 8.9 (57). The Stonecats, as expected, were 2014 Premiers. It was a fitting result for the best team throughout the 2014 season. The Stonecats finished clear on top of the ladder and beat every side in the competition this season. Three of their six defenders (Kevin Lylak, Byron Barry and Anthony Barry) were selected in the Team of the Year, while the best forward in the game in David Bodley was also named in the team. The key to this contest, however, was who was going to be the dominant big man on the ground. YCW’s Ash Eames was named by the Peninsula coaches as the number one ruckman in the game. Mornington’s Michael Gay was awarded the League Best and Fairest, polling a massive 31 votes. Eames, as we all know, has been a star of this competition for many, many years. Again in the grand final, he was a standout. Without question, Ash took the honours on the day and was a significant reason as to why Frankston YCW

won the game. His work across half back, taking contested marks and ensuring he was always in the best position to benefit his team went a long, long way to helping his side win the game. While Eames was significant, Byron Barry was clearly the best player on the ground. Byron’s cousin Anthony (‘Bundy’) may have been awarded the league’s Most Valuable Player, however, on Sunday, Byron was the one who stood out. Byron dominated across four quarters and when the game was in the balance

in the last 25 minutes, it was Byron who took some telling marks and settled things down in defence. In the first three quarters, it was the run and smarts of skipper Jie Coghlan, Scott McLeod and Tony Lester who worked tirelessly, while Jesse Darren-Coghlan was also doing the job on Mornington’s Jackson Calder. Dale Carroll was proving to be a nuisance in the forward half for the Stonecats and Ben Tellis booted three very clever goals. Billy Rolfe was getting plenty of the

ball on the wing and using it well and Ben Buckley was also using his left foot to perfection to hit up targets. Lachy Wallace was also getting a heap of it. While the Stonecats didn’t blow Mornington away, they did appear to be in absolute control with the three quarter time scoreboard reading 7.11 (53) to 5.5 (35). The message from Mornington coach Stuart Seager at three quarter time was all about taking the game on. That’s exactly what the Doggies did. Although they conceded the first goal

of the final quarter, the Dogs booted the final three majors of the game to fall short by just six points. The Dogs missed a couple of sitters in the final ten minutes that could have given them a chance, however, time beat them in the end. Some may remember the lost chances. The reality is the Dogs were blown away by YCW in the first half with 14 scoring shots to seven. The score was 6.8 (44) to 2.5 (17) at half time. This is where the game was lost. Mornington was able to come back against Bonbeach in the Preliminary after trailing by 39 points at half time, however, were unable to repeat the performance. Warwick Miller was Mornington’s best, while Emilio Bitters worked tirelessly on the ball and Michael Williams backed up last week’s great game with another outstanding performance. Make no mistake, Mornington better sign Michael Williams quickly, because there are other clubs circling. Two players who didn’t feature in Mornington’s best but were outstanding were Damien McDowell and Adam Symes. Chris Baker was also very good for his team. In the reserves, Mt Eliza 24-year-old Luke Young realised every young footballers’ dream of kicking a goal after the siren to win his team the Premiership. Trailing by five points when the final siren sounded, Young had a shot from 55m out to the Kars St end. He kicked truly and his side won the game, coming back from 17 points down against YCW with just six minutes on the clock. In the Under 18s, Mt Eliza tasted premiership glory against Mornington.

High spec Mazda3 a hit with buyers A COMPREHENSIVE range with a wide assortment of safety features and lots of style has delivered a richer than expected model mix for the all-new Mazda3. Base models can make up the majority of sales across many nameplates throughout the industry, but All-New Mazda3 - on sale since February - has reversed that trend with higher spec models accounting for 80 per cent of sales. Of the 29,069 All-New Mazda3 sales year-to-date, only 20 per cent are entry-level Neos. Buyers have preferred the higher spec models, all of which come with the MZD Connect infotainment system, the multifunction commander control, satellite navigation and reverse camera as standard equipment. These numbers were backed up in August with VFACTS figures showing that 3,124 all-new Mazda3s were sold with 19 per cent of them being Neos. The most popular all-new Mazda3 is the Maxx with 30 per cent of sales. “We offer a point of differentiation across the entire Mazda3 range to cater to all buyer needs,” said Mazda Australia managing director Martin Benders. “When you also include the justlaunched XD Astina with 2.2 litre SKYACTIV-D diesel engine - which we expect will account for two per cent of initial sales - there is a Mazda3 to suit everyone.” Overall, the car maker sold a total of 7,529 new cars, SUVs and utilities

last month for an 8.5 per cent market share. Sales were down compared to the same month last year when August included M-Day - Mazda’s one day once a year sale. With 67,487 YTD sales and a 9.1 per cent market share, Mazda remains one of Australia’s top three manufacturers

and is the country’s leading full-line importer. Backing up Mazda3 was the CX-5 - Australia’s best-selling SUV - with 1,649 August sales. Mazda expects CX-5 to break its record sales tally of 20,129 set in 2013. Mazda6 remains the country’s most popular mid-sized

import with 433 August sales, while BT-50 passed 8,000 YTD sales having sold 979 utilities last month. In final run out before the next generation model arrives in late October, 1,066 Mazda2s found homes last month. Mazda is urging shoppers to get in quickly before stock runs out.

Make yours a...

“Buyers interested in the current Mazda2 are advised to not delay their purchase decision because there is only limited stock remaining,” said Benders. “With a long list of features and a low run out price, the Mazda2 offers excellent value for money.”
