42nd Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day

Thursday 24th September 2015 12 noon shotgun start 207 Boneo Rd, Rosebud $70 including dinner www.rosebudcountryclub.com.au

42nd Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day Thursday 24th September 2015.

Teeing-off in the fight against cancer THE Rosebud community are practicing their swings in earnest ahead of the Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day on September 24.

Over four decades the event at Rosebud Country Club has raised nearly $420,000 for Cancer Council Victoria’s work in research, prevention programs and support services.

The event originated in 1973 when friends Russell Wilson and Mick Drew organised the very first charity golf day to raise funds for cancer research.

Since then, it’s become one of the longest running charity golf events in Australia, clocking up more years than Cancer Council’s other major fundraising events, including Daffodil Day and Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Todd Harper, CEO of Cancer Council Victoria, praised the Club for its ongoing commitment and support.

“The Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day has a very proud history and I thank the Rosebud Country Club, and the wider community, for its continuous support of Cancer Council Victoria.

“I encourage all golfers out there – whether professionals or amateurs, to take part in this fantastic community event,” Cancer Council Victoria CEO Todd Harper said.

“It’s only through the passionate efforts of our supporters that we can continue our work in improving cancer outcomes for all Victorians.”

The Annual Charity Golf Day also supports Cancer Council Victoria’s prevention programs to encourage Victorians to reduce their cancer risk, and the organisations’ support services to help those affected by cancer.

Last year the event received incredible community support, raising $12,500. The club hopes this figure can be topped this year.

Funds raised help to support ground-breaking research, both at Cancer Council Victoria and externally in hospitals and universities.

“In 2014 we spent almost 25 million on cancer research, funding 170 researchers looking at all kinds of cancer. It is cancer research like this that has helped contribute to an increase in cancer survival by 20 percent in the past two decades,” Mr Harper said.

“The wonderful thing about this event is that it provides a unique opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy a relaxed day of golf whilst supporting a cause that impacts thousands of Victorians,” Mr Harper said.

More than 200 golfers are expected to attend this year’s event, one of the most important on the Club’s calendar.

Rosebud Country Club supports Cancer Council Victoria ROSEBUD Country Club proudly announces the 42nd Cancer Council Charity Golf Day which will be held on Thursday 24th September, 2015.

Entry is $70 which includes dinner after the game. Dinner only is available for $45 per person.

The day is all about raising much needed funds that go towards Cancer Council Victoria’s work in research, preventative programs and support services. It is one of the most important golf events on the club’s calendar.

The contributions from local businesses have been nothing short of amazing. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase these items through raffle or silent auction.

Last year, with the support from the local community, the day raised in excess of $12,500 for the Cancer Council of Victoria, and nearly $420,000 since inception.

Todd Harper, CEO of Cancer Council Victoria.

Wooden you know: Nepean MP Martin Dixon, shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb, area councillors Antonella Celi, David Gibb and Graham Pittock, shire staff, Parks Victoria staff, pier contractors and members of Pines Men’s Shed were among those celebrating the official opening of Rosebud pier last Friday.

Picture: Yanni

Pier took more than 5 years Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE replacement of Rosebud pier is finally complete after two construction periods more than five years apart that saw state government agency Parks Victoria spend about $3.5 million on the 329-metre long structure.

The outer section of 104 metres was replaced in 2009 at a cost of $1.4 million after it had been closed for two summers, much to the annoyance of dedicated anglers.

Work on the inner section of 225 metres started in April and was completed late last month at a cost of $2 million.

Both Labor and Liberal-Nationals Coalition state government have spent millions in recent years on piers and jetties on Port Phillip and Western Port.

A Parks Victoria officer told The News at the recent opening of the rebuilt Mornington pier (which cost at least $18.5 million) that Port Phillip and Western Port piers “are our equivalent of Sydney’s harbour bridge.

Millions of people use them each year for fishing and boating or just as a place for a stroll and to contemplate the world from a different viewpoint�.

The rebuild this year saw the installation of 124 piles; 1023 deck boards; handrails; and upgraded electrical services including overhead lights as well as lights along the edge of the pier, which Parks says “will appeal to twilight anglers and provide an extra safety feature by illuminating the edge of the pier�.

timber to Mornington Peninsula Shire for planned garden beds and other landscaping on Rosebud foreshore.

Some of the timber was given to Pines Men’s Shed in Frankston North.

Members made 10 outdoor benches for Parks, four of which are on the pier.

On Friday, the pier was officially opened by Graeme Davis, Parks Victoria’s district manager of Port Phillip and Western Port.

It was meant to be opened by ALP upper house MP Daniel Mulino, who was called away at short notice to

represent state treasurer Tim Pallas.

Mr Davis said Parks had opened two piers in the shire recently (Mornington was opened last month) and this was the end of planned works for a while.

He said Dromana residents, including Cr Graham Pittock, had been lobbying for the town’s pier to be replaced but this “won’t be next week�.

Parks spent about $170,000 on Dromana pier last year cutting out concrete cancer in a bid to extend its life for another decade.

Footy stars signing up for surfing IT might be getting to the pointy end of the season for the AFL, but players were not too busy when asked to sign surfboards for a charity auction.

The players stayed off the field long enough to take turns with black markers to autograph boards made in their team colours for the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch.

The auction for the 18 boards starts 2.30pm Sunday 13 September at the Baha taco and music bar, 2201 Point Nepean Rd, Rye. Bids, starting at $650 a board, will be taken from the floor and over the phone. Unsold boards will be auctioned later on eBay. The boards (including a Hawks premiership board) were made at the Trigger Brothers shop, Point Leo. The 6ft 6in retro single fin boards were shaped by Simon Forward, glassed by John Jolly and finished by Al Francis finishing. Burford supplied

the blanks and Nuplex the resins.

The DSA hopes to raise $20,000 through the auction which will be spent on improving beach access for the disabled at Point Leo. The Disabled Surfers Association was established over 25 years ago and has branches in every state.

The Mornington Peninsula branch each year holds several surfing days for people with any disability and works to improve access to the beaches.

More than100 disabled surfers and 300 volunteers attend the surfing days at Point Leo and other events are held by another DSA branch at Ocean Grove.

To find out more about the DSAMP go http://disabledsurfers.org/vic/ morning-peninsula-branch/ To bid for a board go to Baha on the day or register at www.firstreef. weebly.com Keith Platt

Signed up: Four of the “footy boards” to be auctioned to raise money for the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch with, from left, branch president Joe Hart, Rod Jones (Triple R’s Dr Surf), boardmaker Phil Trigger and committee member John Bowers.

Mobile gangs moving south Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CRIME gangs with a disciplined culture and ability to plan and set targets has given a new potency to crime in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

The tech savvy gangs use social media, including Facebook, and encryption apps to co-ordinate activities, allowing their members to mobilise and disperse quickly, recruit members and plan their next hit.

Easy access to stolen cars and quicker freeway travel times mean that our once sleepy hamlets are now high on the agenda of the often race-related gangs who regard “slap on the wrist” penalties as green cards to commit more crimes.

Mornington Detective Sergeant Nick Vallas said recent raids on the peninsula could be linked to a crime gang from Dandenong.

“We can’t say they are definitely gang members, but they probably are,” he said. “They adopt a common theme before committing crimes, which they call missioning. This may be to break

into a car and steal it, or, if the car’s locked, to break into the house and steal the car’s keys and then steal it.

The stolen cars are then used to rob other cars.

“It’s this willingness to go to any lengths to achieve their aim that worries us.”

Car owners are making it easy for thieves. On Saturday night, 22 August, eight cars were broken into in Bentons and Dunns roads, Mt Martha, with thieves stealing a Subaru – later recovered in Frankston North – and loose change.

Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Mornington CIU, said all the cars are believed to have been unlocked.

“We go on about it, but people are still making it easy for thieves.” He said the incidents are not believed to be gang related.

In Mt Martha the same night, up to four men burgled a house on The Esplanade, at 3am Sunday 23 August, frightening a couple who woke to find them rifling through bedside cupboards and draws.

The men, described as African or islander in appearance, were using mobile-

phones as torches, going from room to room searching for valuables. They left with jewellery valued at $20,000 when the couple raised the alarm.

A Hampton Park man, 24, believed to be the get-away driver, was arrested

by Mornington police and, although not being charged with any offence on the night, may be charged at a later date.

Frankston Embona Detective Sergeant Marty O’Brien said gangs with names such as Apex, Y2K and YKK were making life “very busy” for detectives. He said racially linked members coming to Frankston from Dandenong and Narre Warren – some aged as young as 13 – were a “huge problem”.

“Crimes by these groups have risen 10-fold over the past few years,” he said. “And 90 per cent of it relates to the Polynesians.

“They get straight off the plane and are straight into it. We know who they are but we can’t do much about them.”

Police are frustrated by lights sentences handed down by the courts.

“One guy charged with 14 counts of armed robbery was granted bail,” Detective Sergeant O’Brien said. “Why a

court would even entertain the idea of bail I don’t know.”

A Melbourne police taskforce formed to tackle the threat from gangs has charged more than 70 young men over a six-month crime spree, including crimes in Frankston and on the peninsula.

The youths, aged 14-24, were charged with more than 400 serious offences ranging from armed robbery to commercial burglary, car theft, driving offences and illegal gun possession.

The six-month police investigation, established to target mid-level organised crime, revealed that two syndicates based in Melbourne's northern suburbs had targeted department stores and tobacconists all the way down to Frankston.

Three violent thieves, who police later identified as gang members, raided two 24-hour service stations, at Dromana and Rosebud, on 29 July.

The trio, with one member aged 15, stormed counters and terrorised staff with an axe and a handgun in the early morning raids.

CCTV footage shows them smashing glass counters, destroying com-

puter equipment, rifling cupboards and pointing a handgun in the face of the lone attendant – before repeating the viciousness 15 minutes later at the next service station. Money and cigarettes were stolen at both premises.

Six of the gang were apprehended within the week and the youngest is now out on bail.

Their arrests form part of a bigger picture, with up to 25 offenders nabbed over a spate of aggravated burglaries, vandalism, thefts from and of cars, deceptions, petrol drive offs and armed robberies across the southern suburbs in the past few weeks.

“They knew each other and were acting together; there was definitely a level of planning and organisation,” Frankston Embona Detective Sergeant Alistair Hanson said.

The same gang is believed responsible for smashing up to 25 car windscreens and rear and side windows in Cheltenham. Two vandals in two cars used golf clubs and a hammer to smash the windows of cars parked in streets off Centre Dandenong Rd, causing $25,000 damage. Other cars were damaged in Armadale and Caulfield.

NEWS DESK MP News Group journalist David Harrison is in Thailand supporting his mate Alan Morison and his wife Chutima Sidasathian, who were charged in late 2013 with criminal defamation and computer crime over a story they published on their online website Phuketwan about abuses against Rohingya migrants in Thailand.

The charges centred on a paragraph in Phuketwan on 17 July 2013 citing an investigative report by Reuters alleging that some navy officials were involved with trafficking Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar (Burma). The trial generated widespread condemnation from human rights groups and the United Nations.

Morison and Sidasathian faced up to seven years in jail but last week were found not guilty of all charges. The Thai navy has until the end of September to appeal. Harrison has been supporting the two journalists by organising fundraisers, a petition and a rally in Melbourne. He attended the court case in Phuket in July and returned for last week’s judgment. This article has been posted on Phuketwan and has generated worldwide interest.

Why good journalism matters

By David Harrison I BEGAN my career in journalism about the same time as Alan Morison, half a century ago at the afternoon newspaper, The Herald, in Melbourne, Australia.

It sold more than half a million copies a day. It was a force in the city. It was listened to by politicians, by business people, by judges and lawyers, and was loved and respected by its readers.

Its journalists did not set out consciously each day to seek that approbation of its readers, who comprised about one in five of Melbourne’s population.

They simply, like blind Justice, did their job – to discover and bring to the public the news of the day, whatever that news happened to be.

Nor did we concern ourselves much with what public reaction might be to what we wrote. We knew we had the support of our journalistic seniors and

the public. We were part of what was then called the Fourth Estate, a term born in 18th century Britain to describe the huge influence of newspapers in the life of the nation.

Originally the press – the Fourth Estate – ranked with the other three estates.

These were the British parliamentary estates known as the Lords spiritual, the Lords temporal and the members of the House of Commons. That is, the press and its journalists ranked alongside the unelected members of the British House of Lords, both churchmen and the nobility, and the elected members of the Commons. The press had – and wielded – the power to bring down governments, to change government policy, and to rein in government power.

Generally it used this power responsibly.

This was the environment in which young journalists learned their trade.

Alan has continued to do this throughout his working life, in the finest traditions of the press.

He now publishes his news in the new medium of the world wide web.

He is part of the new fabric of news dissemination.

He and his very impressive colleague Chutima Sidasathian have published news on their Phuketwan website that is certainly not to the taste of everyone who reads it.

News has been defined as ‘’something that someone, somewhere, does not want published. All the rest is advertising�.

Alan and Chutima do not deal in advertising or seek to please their readers. They simply seek out the truth and disseminate it. The consequences in the case of their reporting of people smuggling in Thailand have been very serious indeed. Both face the possibility of jail.

For what? Has anyone challenged

the truth of their reporting? No. They have been faithful to the best centuriesold traditions of their calling. They are in the legal position they face because their facts have annoyed people in power in Thailand.

These facts meet the classic definition – they were something that some people did not want printed. They were embarrassing, they were seen to diminish the standing of powerful people in a powerful social institution, the Royal Thai Navy, which was not mentioned in the report against which they took offence.

The facts were not challenged – Alan and Chutima’s resolve to publish them, and therefore to shine a spotlight on a great and deeply troubling social issue, was under challenge. They were to be crushed as an example to others for their bold impertinence.

The original publisher of the words that drew the navy’s response were not sued. They were too big and powerful.

Shame on Reuters for abandoning Phuketwan to its fate.

In the long term such facts must – must – be published. The public has a right to know. All around the world, journalists daily pay for this demand on them with their freedom, sometimes their lives.

Thailand needs more journalists, and more media proprietors, who will take the risk of a backlash from powerful people and institutions in what they present to the community, whatever the risk and consequence.

It is vital to strong democracies for this to be done. It is vital for Thailand’s future that its powerful institutions respect the Fourth Estate and its practitioners for doing their job.

The nation will never develop into a strong democracy without letting the facts – diligently gathered and responsibly reported – from being freely disseminated. It is the test every governing regime faces, and must pass.

Butterfly House, war memorials and former post office win heritage awards Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au DROMANA’S famous Butterfly House; war memorials at Somerville, Red Hill and Mornington; the former Sorrento post office; and a slab cottage built in about 1850 at Heronswood are among the places featured at the 2015 Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards.

The awards are a joint effort of the peninsula branch of National Trust and Mornington Peninsula Shire, and started in 2011.

They were presented on Friday 28 August by shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb and Dr Graeme Blackman, chairman of the National Trust board.

Cr Colomb said the “excellent nominations” received this year were a good indicator that interest in the awards was as strong as ever.

“There are many fascinating and important heritage places on the peninsula and it is encouraging to see owners, heritage professionals and the community coming together to protect them,” she said.

Judy Walsh, National Trust branch president, said this year’s awards were remarkable in their diversity, and congratulated the recipients.

“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.

“It is gratifying to see the strength of commitment in a community continuing to embrace conservation of heritage places as important and acknowledging their value as cultural assets.”

Winners Restoration of a heritage place  Somerville war memorial, Fruit Growers Reserve – awards presented to stonemason Paul Smith for relocation and restoration of memorial; Brandon Perrett for bespoke manufacture of traditional heritage light installed on top of memorial; and Somerville Historical Society for supply of original plans and specifications.  Dromana Cenotaph, Memorial Park – award to stonemason Howard Patrick of Dromana for restoration.  St John the Evangelist Anglican Church hall, King St, Flinders – award to St John’s Parish Council.  Heronswood 1850s slab house

Signals works MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will soon begin erecting traffic signals at the corner of McDowell St and Jetty Rd, Rosebud.

The intersection has received Black Spot funding after three serious injury crashes over the past five years.

The signals and usual traffic management works will allow for safer turning movements and make it easier for pedestrians to access local shops, primary school, Centrelink office and Centro Rosebud shopping centre.

But parking will be affected by VicRoads works and No-standing areas will be enforced on McDowell St from Jetty Rd to about 60 metres west of Jetty Rd. A No-standing area will be enforced on the eastern side of Jetty Rd at the front of the Centrelink office to McDowell St. The disabled car space adjacent to the Centrelink office will be moved north.

The disabled car space on the west side of Jetty Rd, near the existing school crossing, will be removed.

Two alternative disabled car spaces on McDowell St include accessibility features, such as pram ramps, to make it easier to get onto the footpath.

New signs will advise drivers of the changes, with the shire aiming to minimise disruption to traders, drivers and pedestrians. The works are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

RESIDENTS have two chances to provide feedback on how they believe Mornington Peninsula Shire interacts with them and visitors.

The information will be used as part of the shire’s customer service review.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said councillors were interested in hearing about the community’s interactions with the shire – both positive and negative.

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

Consultation sessions will be held this week. They are: 7-9pm, Thursday 10 September, Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings, and 10am-noon, Saturday 12 September, shire offices, 90 Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Those unable to attend may contribute online at www.mornpen.vic.gov. au/customerexcellence To RSVP and for more information email Lisa Gray at customerexcellence@mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1250.

Keeping track of night hunter POWERFUL owls might be 60 centimetre s tall and have white plumage, but they are rarely seen; heard maybe, but not seen.

Being a nocturnal bird of prey they are most active at night and make themselves scarce during the day.

They are the largest of the avian night hunters and, as their name suggests, capable of preying on medium to large tree-dwelling mammals: ringtail possum and great glider. They also take roosting birds and animals on the ground, such as rabbits and small marsupials.

Despite their strength and hunting prowess, powerful owls are listed as being endangered.

The Mornington Peninsula has been identified as one area where several families do exist and Mornington Peninsula Shire and the local branch of Birdlife Australia are trying to find out where they live and roost.

The monitoring program could reveal habitat critical to their survival that needs protecting.

Adult powerful owls are dark brown with a white and brown flecked underside with yellow eyes.

They can be heard calling at night and their voice is described as a “deep double hoot”.

This time of year, the young owls begin emerging from the nest and can be heard trilling to be fed just after dusk.

Shire conservation ranger Josh Gunn is asking for reports of sightings or observations of powerful owls so the locations can be included in future surveys and to broaden the

knowledge of the species' distribution on the peninsula.

Max Burrows of Birdlife Australia said the powerful owls are a “top level” predator that was necessary to balance the ecosystem.

"Recent surveys by the state government identified significant numbers of owls on the peninsula and we're wanting to keep up to date with sightings

Shire takes bush block clearing to magistrates’ court Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE shire has charged the owner of a bush block in Main Ridge with illegal clearing under the Environment and Planning Act. The matter will come before Frankston Magistrates’ Court next week. The owner faces a maximum penalty of $180,000 per offence but any fine is likely to be much lower.

If the prosecution is successful, the fine would likely be in the range of $5000 to $50,000. The matter of remediation will be pursued separately.

About a third of the 16-hectare block was cleared in January by a contractor.

A shire spokesman told The News the owner had been charged “with removing vegetation without a planning permit”. “The first mention hearing is 17 September.”

The shire’s manager of planning compliance, Paul Lewis, said his department had “commenced 30 enforcement actions this calendar year – six of these being vegetation-related”.

The “landlocked” block at 2 Barkers Rd off Mornington-Flinders Rd was in the news earlier in the year when Antoinette Noronho asked Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and Parks Victoria to allow her to build an access road to her land through Main Ridge Nature Conservation Reserve.

She has been accessing it via a track through the reserve and had to seek permission from Parks Victoria each time.

Ms Noronho bought the 16-hectare (40-acre) block with no access road for $425,000 in January 2013 at a mortgagee’s sale. The property had been bought by Peter Quinn in 2007 for $975,000 but he failed to win approval for a road.

In December, the council voted to “discontinue” 130 metres of Barkers Rd in what appeared to be a trade-off for allowing a road through part of the reserve, which was approved by councillors in June despite the opposition of 12 neighbours who said the reserve was home to swamp wallabies, echidnas, antechinus (a small marsupial) as well as 60 species of birds. At least two migratory species, rufus whistler and rufus fantail, nest in the reserve.

In June, councillors were told the access road sought would do far less damage than the possible alternative – an extension of Barkers Rd, which would destroy a fern gully down the slope of Manton Creek and would require a bridge over the creek.

Although the previous owner could not gain access to the land, councillors were told that every owner of land that is landlocked has the right to apply to the Supreme Court to have a right of access granted.

Swings and roundabouts: The property known as 2 Barkers Rd, Main Ridge, had no road access until shire councillors and Parks Victoria gave the owner permission to build a road through part of a conservation reserve. Now the owner has been charged with illegal clearing and faces court this month. Picture supplied

Govt’s early fire warning THE state government has warned Victorians about a long, hot and dry fire season ahead but made no mention of a key driver of drier conditions and hotter temperatures across southeast Australia – El Nino.

The Bureau of Meteorology said the El Nino weather pattern now building in the Pacific Ocean could be worse than the record-breaker of 199798, which was one of the drivers of the so-called Millennium drought, which lasted from 1995 to 2010 in some parts of Australia.

The drought in Victoria broke in March 2010 when storms pounded the state but it was not

declared over until after the floods of September that year. Dams in the state were 70 per cent full by mid-2012, the highest level for 14 years.

Last week the bureau said the warming of the sea surface in the equatorial Pacific Ocean was a key indicator of El Nino conditions. It would bring lower rainfall on the east coast and southern Australia.

Last Wednesday, Victoria’s Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said the Southern Australia Seasonal Bushfire Outlook 2015-16 predicted “an above normal fire season with an increased bushfire risk for Victoria”.

Room to hop: A rabbit eradication program at the Briars Park wildlife sanctuary will see more room and food for Australian species like this eastern grey kangaroo. Picture: Yanni

Shooters called to rabbit cull RABBIT numbers in Mt Martha’s Briars Park wildlife sanctuary are goind down as eradication action continues.

Mornington Peninsula Shire rangers closed the sanctuary to the public on 25 August and it is expected to reopen on Monday 23 September.

Park staff are making a determined attempt to rid the sanctuary of rabbits, which have existed inside the predator-proof fence since it was erected.

Several attempts have been made

in recent years but this effort is the most comprehensive with eradication techniques including filling in burrows to force rabbits into the open, allowing members of the Sporting Shooters’ Association to cull them at night (more than 130 killed so far) and other techniques, with attention given to meeting various codes of practice.

A shire spokesman said it was hoped the project would completely eradicate rabbits in the sanctuary with an end goal of “having a new conservation approach involving a

If the cull goes well, the sanctuary could be opened before 23 September, the spokesman said.

Walks outside the sanctuary are unaffected. They include Balcombe Creek Walkway (which continues under the Nepean Highway bridge to Balcombe Estuary); the Harrap Creek Walk, which links to other walks and continues to Civic Reserve in Dunns Rd; and a short walk along Stockleys Creek.

Action’s ringside as wrestling takes a hold Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au REMEMBER the glory days of World Championship Wrestling at Festival Hall?

Sunday afternoons in the 60s and 70s would come alive with mad-cap bouts – mainly between US showmen wrestlers and the locals – over 16 years.

Was it rigged? Was it all a sham?

No one really cared as we cheered the “good� guys – the Golden Greek, Spiros Arion, Mark Lewin, Mario Milano, and Dominic DeNucci, taking on the “baddies� – Killer Kowalski, Brute Bernard, Bulldog Brower and Abdullah the Butcher.

Gravel voiced US-born commentator Jack Little was in his element, spruiking his famous catchphrases: “Wham! Bam! Thank you Maam!�, “All I can say is – Wow!� and “That's all there is, there isn't any more!�

It was mayhem; it was over the top: but it was fun.

Now, some of that show-biz wresting action is playing out on the peninsula. Night Cap Wrestling Federation, of Rosebud West, is teaching local enthusiasts the art of professional wrestling, while providing what it calls “family friendly entertainment� for spectators.

Those taking part learn the art of in-the-ring work as well the skills needed to help build successful shows with the help of professional wrestlers at what’s described as the peninsula’s first wrestling training school.

Owners and promoters Joshua and

Ringside: Zirous Madic and Cody Swift take their battle to the audience, during the Saturday night live appearance at Rosebud West. Picture: Yanni

Kim Crute say that, so far, 10 local guys and girls had been training hard so they can compete in live events in front of the crowd. New classes for those wanting to learn the art will be held at the end of this month.

Night Cap Wrestling Federation also supports local business and community groups, such as Cancer Research Advocate Bikers (CRAB) which sets up a food van at the shows with all profit going to cancer research. “We are focused on being able to provide a warm environment for those who want to learn the art of

pro wrestling, as well as providing entertainment for the families of local residents,� Mr Crute said. “We want to bring back the thrill of live events and become a place where families can go on a Saturday night.

It’s about letting local people have the platform to entertain and to be entertained. “A lot of them still refer to the old Festival Hall days and how much they loved being with their families and that’s what we are trying to bring back.�

At the group’s first show, Pandemo-

nium on the Peninsula, the crowd of about 130 clapped and cheered from the first bell to the last, cheering on local and interstate talent.

A highlight was the crowning of the first NCWF Southern Star Champion, Andy Gold, of Rosebud West, who won a “Triple Threat� match against Skip Sampson, of Fingal, and CJ Redfield, of Sunbury.

Also at the event, Paul Thornton was crowned the first NCWF heavyweight champion after he won a 20man “Battle Royal� against interstate, Victorian and local talent.

At the group’s Overdrive show on Saturday, International talent Global Force Wrestling’s Ali Akbar took on local trainer and one of Australia’s best, Gabriel Wolfe.

Night Cap Wrestling Federation shows will be held every month – the next on Saturday 17 October, with a pre-Halloween theme, as well as Saturday 14 November and Saturday 12 December.

Demise of NSW’s ‘Steeltown’ could benefit BlueScope’s Western Port plant ANALYSIS Mike Hast RUMOURS of BlueScope Steel closing its Port Kembla blast furnace in Wollongong and reorganising its Australian flat steel production could benefit the company’s plant at Hastings.

BlueScope announced a full-year profit of $136.3 million on 24 August – an improvement on last year’s loss of $83 million and even larger losses in recent years – and its share price went up but these are worrying times for the nation’s biggest steel producer, its workers and other stakeholders.

The financial result came out on the day the Australian share market suffered its worst fall since the global financial crisis but the company’s shares rose almost 9 per cent as it confronted its “steelmaking mortality”.

BlueScope produces 2.6 million tonnes of steel each year at Wollongong, once called “Steeltown” when about 25,000 people worked there in the early 1980s.

Now its 5000 workers make 500,000 tonnes more than the domestic market can take each year, so it is exported at a loss of $200 a tonne.

In June, the Illawarra Mercury was first to report the shutdown rumour but it was denied by the company while conceding it was looking at options including importing steel rather than manufacturing at Port Kembla.

Two weeks ago BlueScope’s outgoing CEO Paul O’Malley said the com-

pany would be forced to close its last blast furnace if it could not find $200 million in savings.

In July, ABC News reporter Stephen Letts said the closure of the remaining blast furnace and a restructure – focusing on imports and the higher-margin painted products Colorbond business – could slash capital expenditure from $200 million a year to about $50 million.

Using cheaper imported steel would

increase profitability by 50 per cent, while profitability across the entire company could increase by 70 to 140 per cent, another analyst said.

Under this scenario, hot rolled coil would be sourced not from Port Kembla but from overseas for the Western Port plant, which makes profitable building products such as Colorbond and Zincalume on its rolling and painting lines.

hot rolled coil into Western Port – this time from Asia.

(The company’s ship the Iron Monarch made its last delivery to Western Port in October 2011 and BlueScope closed the hot strip mill on 19 October as part of a restructure of its Western Port and Port Kembla sites after posting a $1 billion loss and withdrawing from exporting steel products. It retrenched 2000 workers – 200 at Hastings plus 70 contractors – and closed

one of two blast furnaces at Port Kembla. At Hastings it mothballed one of three metal coating lines.)

In future, flat steel products made in Hastings might be sent overseas by ship instead of being taken from the plant by train and truck for the domestic market, as is currently the case.

This could see an increase in employment at the Hastings plant.

BlueScope’s corporate affairs manager Michael Reay told The News “no decisions have yet been made on the future of Port Kembla steelworks” so it was too early to speculate about the Western Port plant although he did say “With respect to any potential effects on Western Port if the Port Kembla Steelworks was to close, these scenarios are currently being considered in the strategic review being undertaken”.

“It is our objective to maintain steelmaking at Port Kembla and we are doing everything we can to do that and deliver the $200 million of annual cost savings we need to improve competitiveness,” he said.

“The next update on the future of steelmaking at Port Kembla will be around the time of our annual meeting in November.”

Asked about recent work at BlueScope’s wharf, he said: “The maintenance currently being undertaken ... is routine maintenance unrelated to any potential closure of Port Kembla Steelworks.”

Southern Peninsula News 8 September 2015

Millions paid out to cast-off port planners Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SACKING staff at the Port of Hastings Development Authority has seen millions of dollars “lost� to Hastings, according to Opposition leader Matthew Guy. Speaking to journalists in Frankston last week Mr Guy said 55 jobs had gone and payouts “will cost millions�.

A news release from Opposition ports spokesman David Hodgett said the state government had paid out $2.64 million to 17 staff made redundant at the planning authority. “That works out to an average redundancy payment of over $155,000 a worker,� Mr Hodgett stated in a news release. “These 17 jobs should never have been lost because a second container port is critical for Victoria’s economic future.�

The downsizing of the development authority – formed by the previous government when Mr Hodgett was ports minister – came soon after Labor’s election win and its decision to lease out the Port of Melbourne for 50 years, effectively mothballing plans for a major container port at Hastings.

Instead, the Labor government has earmarked Hastings as a “bulk� port for ships delivering and collecting petroleum products, natural gas and, possibly brown coal.

The government is also giving Infrastructure Victoria the job of investigating whether a container port is eventually best built at Bay West, north of Geelong in Port Phillip, or Hastings.

Backing for a container port at Hastings con-

tinues to come from Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils, but is being opposed by the Shire of Bass, which borders Western Port.

The three municipalities are part of the new South East Melbourne Group of Councils (SEM) lobbying the government on a range of issues, including business investment, jobs, public safety and education.

Despite Bass’s opposition, a container port for Hastings is included in SEM’s regional plan, along with planning for a major airport.

The other four councils in the SEM group are Kingston, Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong.

Both the Mornington Peninsula and Bass councils have written separately to the government, one (the peninsula) calling for the establishment of a “green� container port at Hastings and the other (Bass) opposing any expansion of the port.

Frankston has promoted itself as being ideally suited to be the commercial centre for and expanded Port of Hastings. Its mayor, Cr Sandra Mayer, as the inaugural head of SEM, issued a news release stating “30 per cent of all shipping containers from the Port of Melbourne end up in south east Melbourne, so development linked to tourism and shipping are certainly areas we will be pushing hard, including the Port of Hastings expansion�.

Mr Guy, when criticising the government virtually disbanding the Port of Hastings Development Authority, said the container port would have been a “boon for jobs on the Mornington Peninsula and south eastern suburbs�. “The Port of Hastings should be on the [government’s] agenda. Melbourne needs planning to begin for a second container port,� he said.

LETTERS Debt, what debt?

was towed between two tugs, it did not touch anything a declared minimum deep was promulgated.

This channel could take vessels of 18.5metres draft with no dredging to Sandy Point (same draft as coal ships using Newcastle - do we want that trade? I certainly don’t). The deepest draft vessel handled in any Victorian port was the BP Achiever on the 16 January 1986, which sailed from Western Port with a draft of 15.5metres.

The courageous Yes Minister type decision required to bring the 180 metre wide Great Ship Channel into Port Philip up to international standard to take 13 metre container ships envisaged for Australia will undoubtedly increase the tidal range flooding many areas.

In the near future vessels will be dumping Victorian containers in Sydney and Adelaide.

Businesses will move out of Victoria to reduce their costs, the shorter the land transport distance the cheaper a product when it arrives at the consumer.

The Port Of Hastings Development Authority has a Western Port original chart showing natural depths.

Barrie Hunt of Mt Eliza castigates the ALP for the Coalition government’s current debt (“ALP’s debt problem” Letters 25/8/15). I would remind him that there was a global financial crisis a few years ago which this country sailed through with the ALP in government.

To save us from the woes that other countries were, and still are, experiencing, the ALP showed it was a very good manager of the economy.

The Coalition won the election and told us that the adults were in charge now. It also rattled on about the debt it had been saddled with.

Having tried hard and not managing to convince the electorate, suddenly there is no economic emergency. So much so that tax cuts, the establishment of the Australian Border Force, with its mountainous costs and other schemes costing billions of dollars are waved through.

Is Barrie being a little naive in believing the guff put out by the Coalition?

Sport’s risky time With the end of the winter sports season nearing for a variety of sports, many clubs will be considering events such as last game functions, presentation nights, mad Mondays and trips away. Club administrators and participants need to be aware some of the dangers and legal issues that can be prevented.

Clubs need to ensure that any alcohol is served only on the days and at the times allowed in their liquor licence.

Failure to abide by these conditions may attract considerable fines, possible loss of licence and impact on the club’s income, not to mention poor publicity.

Club administrators need to meet with event organisers to discuss what is planned and identify possible risks and measures to be taken to reduce those risks.

They should ensure no-one under 18 is supplied with alcohol by older players or officials and clearly explain what the club considers

acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.

Unacceptable behaviours should include drunkenness, damage to property, violence, drink driving, verbal abuse, harassment, anything that may bring the image of the club into disrepute and anything against the law.

A court in deciding whether a sporting club would be liable for an injury suffered by a player, or damage to property on an end of season trip or event will depend on the circumstances of each case.

Clubs could be liable if they promote and endorse these types of activities to their members and fail to warn to of possible risks.

It is no longer appropriate for heavy drinking and sport to go hand in hand, especially at the end of season functions.

Club administrators need to ask themselves: “How would I feel if one of our members was

to die, or be seriously injured, as a result of an alcohol related incident run by my club?”

Brian Nankervis, Mornington

Bay not too shallow Bernie McComb’s letter (“Bay too shallow”, The News 25/8/15) puts two and two together making five again. The Suez Canal has been deepened to 24metres to take ultra large ships carrying oil/ore cargos, not the largest container ships which have a maximum draft of 14.0 metres. Again, “to compete with Suez” – why? Our two trades are completely different.

The Western Port entrance channel is two-way and 500 metres wide between the buoys marking straight lines for shipping. There is deep water outside the buoys.

In the 1960s the entrance channel was surveyed, required depth was 14.9 metres, a bar

Over protection The attempt by our border protection force to randomly check peoples’ identification smacks of Stalinism or Nazism in days gone by.

The MP for Flinders, Greg Hunt, is proposing in federal parliament to change laws that up until now enabled every Australian to have a say in the protection of our environment. Shame Mr Hunt and [Prime Minister Tony] Abbott.

overlay we are now faced with a high-density development that will not meet the needs of open space or preserve the wildlife haven the old reservoir has become.

The shire must now come clean about the old reservoir. It’s time we were told what the true story is. Whose interests are councillors Andrew Dixon, Anne Shaw and the mayor Bev Colomb actually advocating for?

To ignore SEW and the panel that recommended not pursuing social housing and to ask the Minister for Planning to be part of a pilot project or some other social housing initiative is more than disappointing.

We have been let down massively, but waiting to vote the councillors out at the next elections will be too late. The horse will have bolted.

This council needs to understand that we don’t want opportunist developments on every spare scrap of land.

We don’t want social housing or to be part of experimental pilot projects. Equally we don’t want mansions. No housing, full stop!

Residents moved to the area to avoid highdensity housing and to raise our children or retire in a more natural, clean and quiet environment where we see more than just cats, dogs and starlings.

Rates in the area have increased by more than $200 this year, so we deserve greater value or at least greater advocacy for that investment.

Councillors, if you want to seek responses from relevant parties, come to the reservoir at dusk and hear from those that matter the most.

Rebecca Taylor, Kunyung Residents Group, Mt Eliza

Taxes for the rich The non-action on the super tax on tax-free income flows of over $100,000 is obvious.

If there were a tax placed on these earnings (more than most working Australians make) the politicians would have to take a hit being as their entitlements include (in addition to helicopter rentals) a huge pension which delivers well over the $100,000 no tax cap.

According to Treasurer Joe Hockey, who used the lowering interest rates as a reason to not

implement this tax, you would have to have $5 million invested (at 2 per cent) to get $100,000 income.

The logic for those at the bottom of the food chain is that after an asset test you are not eligible for the pension. The theory being that you can cash in your assets to live.

Not so for the politicians and the top end of town.

Oh, I almost forgot that the Abbott government scrapped the super co-contribution for low income people – used to be $1000 under Labor, reduced to $500 under Abbott.

Another oxymoron: “The Abbot government is the government of the people�, however, if we insert the word “rich� before people it is no longer an oxymoron.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Right to object The lastest attempts by Prime Minister Tony Abbott to try and renew the dredging around Abbot Point [Queensland], build a railway to the port site and start the proposed Carmichael coal mine has been boosted by our Minister for the Environment [Flinders MP Greg Hunt], with his plans to put before Parliament a proposal to prevent Australians objecting to the mine, unless they are living near the proposed site.

The mining of coal (carbon) and the burning of same will seriously add to the carbon content of our atmosphere, worldwide.

The minister should remember that climate change is the responsibility of every human, no matter where they might live.

I strongly object that an extremely wealthy Indian national should be given preferential treatment by silencing most Australians. If the minister does not realise this, or realise that coal equals climate change, he should resign.

With electronic means of communication, we have a vast amount of knowledge at our disposal. To suggest for one moment we should not express our opinions, even if we live in another state, about protecting our environment is absurd.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Climate for fires The determination of Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt to permit the Carmichael coal mine to proceed astounds me.

Once these coal deposits are developed financial interests will ensure that they continue to be mined long after even [Prime Minister] Tony Abbott has recognised the devastating effects of man-made climate change.

In February 2009 173 Victorians, half of them children, lost their lives to bushfires driven by 100 kph winds and an ambient temperature of 47 degrees.

I believe that due to the decisions of people like Mr Hunt to delay action on the issue of global warming in support of the coal industry, bushfires like those in 2009 will become more frequent and even more severe, killing many more men, women and children.

I wonder how he would feel about deaths resulting from a bushfire caused by an extreme weather event.

Peter Holt, Somerville

Marriage problem The problem confronting me today is marriage.

What does it mean?

To most of us marriage involves two people, one male, one female. They get together, decide they are going to live together and, in most cases, produce offspring. They make public declarations to this effect, and so the human race goes on.

Next, we have the second group. They make their decisions privately. Some may reproduce, some may not. But, if you ask “are you married� the reply is usually “No, I love my partner�. Not publicly acknowledged – B grade.

Now, we have a third group – been around for ages, probably – and they want to be fitted in.

Fair enough.

They want to be able to say “we are the same as you, married�.

No, can’t be. For the simple reason: can’t reproduce.

If the human race depended on these people to carry us forward, it would disappear when these

people died. Married is the problem word and people in this category need a separate name.

Married and partners are different.

Holiday fun MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s school holiday program provides a broad range of activities to interest children, including incursions and excursions.

An extensive range of fun fare will include games, fitness, sports of all sorts, cooking, movies, ranger programs, animals, libraries, spotlight walks, dinosaurs and everything in between.

Programs run each weekday from Monday 21 September through to Friday 2 October for primary school-aged children.

Activities are held 7.30am-6.30pm at three venues: Mornington Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Bentons Square Community Centre, Mornington, and Hastings Community Hub, Hastings.

Fees include a $20 annual family registration fee paid once per calendar year. A $51 daily fee is charged for bookings made by the due date (and $56 afterwards), and there’s a late pick-up fee of $20 (per 15 minutes). Child-care benefits and child care rebates can reduce these fees.

Invoices are mailed to the nominated parent following care.

Enrolment forms and a current booking form must be completed for each child each calendar year. Children should bring their own morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

For details of the fun-filled holiday program visit mornpen.vic.gov.au

U3A explores history of the peninsula

By Joan Yalden, U3A Mornington THE Mornington Peninsula has been recognised by the National Geographic organisation as one of the most beautiful – read “must see” – regions of Australia.

Capitalising on this interest, with a focus on retired or semi-retired people, the University of the Third Age Mornington has launched five short courses on the peninsula’s history of development.

“The courses bring together the various geological, botanical and cultural aspects of the history of the Mornington Peninsula,” course coordinator Eileen Wilson says.

The first course is about the physical development of the peninsula from pre-European settlement to the pioneers of the early settlement period. Things got off to a good start on Thursday 3 September at the U3A campus with talks by two guest speakers, Ms Wilson said.

Botanist, botanical illustrator and author Leon Costerman discussed the geological origins of the peninsula, and the various constituent landforms that have influenced the vegetation and human practices. He is the author of Native Trees and Shrubs of South-Eastern Australia (1981).

Boonwurrung man and archaeologist Adam Magennis, a cultural heritage advisor with Mornington Peninsula Shire, spoke on indigenous culture before European settlement.

“Coming from a science background, I have a strong interest in geology and eco-systems of flora and fauna,” class member Lynette Wilks said. “Having moved recently from the city to the Mornington Peninsula I now have the time to focus my interests on the region.”

U3A tutor Gill Condie said those who had

lived on the peninsula all of their lives would also enjoy the series. It continues throughout October and November discussing flora and fauna of the peninsula, bays and beaches, land use, art, culture and tourism.

Details: U3A Mornington Campus office, Currawong St, Mornington, open 10am-2pm weekdays. Call 5975 9773 or visit u3amornington.com.au

This three-minute-41-second production A Brief History of Frankston is on Frankston TV and also online at frankston.tv/video/a-briefhistory-of-frankston.

Hassan to speak SHERENE Hassan will speak at the WomenConnect lunch, 11.30am, Wednesday 16 September, at Frankston Arts Centre. The director of the Islamic Museum of Australia is a former vice president and secretary of the Islamic Council of Victoria. Details and bookings: info@frankstonchamber.com.au or call 9781 1422.

SET on 741 square metres, this charming, rustic-style log home has a warm, welcoming ambience with bay views and fantastic space not often seen in a two bedroom home.

The open plan family, dining and kitchen area has vaulted ceilings, a crackling wood heater and there is a pleasant garden outlook fromall angles. The neat kitchen has an island bench, and appliances include a stainless steel fan forced oven, gas stove and a dishwasher. The two bedrooms receive plenty of natural light, and both have built-in wardrobes and share the updated main bathrom. Externally, the wrap-around timber deck does increase the living space, particularly for entertaining during the warmer months, and from here there is a great outlook over the manicured gardens that surround the home. The front of the block is perfectly complemented by a quaint white picket fence that secures the single carport. This picturesque property certainly offers something different for the young or older couple looking to purchase in the desirable Mount Eliza suburb.

He was conveyed to the Alfred Hospital, where he succumbed to the attack on the following day. *** ATTENTION is drawn to a meeting of Councillors of the Centre Riding, to be held in the Shire Hall, Somerville, at 8 p.m. this evening (Saturday), to assist and give any information required in regard to filling in the War Census

*** WE regret to have to chronicle the death of Mr A. Findlay, late station master, at Frankston, which took place at Bacchus Marsh, on Saturday last. The deceased gentleman was esteemed by all Frankston citizens with whom he came in contact. *** THOSE who like a comfortable shave and a good hair cut will be pleased to hear that Mr C. W. Wood has established himself in business in premises opposite Brody and Mason’s, Bay Street, Frankston. He has had the premises nicely fitted up with every convenience, and has a good stock of tobacco and cigars of the best brands. *** ATTENTION is again directed to T. R. B Morton and Son’s clearing sale at Ingle Park, Bittern, on Tuesday next.

This sale is one of the most important yet held in the district, everything being of first class quality and selected under Mr Ingham’s own supervision from the best of Melbourne ware houses. A full list of the articles appear in our advertising columns. *** THE news that Captain Sherlock had sustained serious injury by being thrown from a horse which he was schooling over jumps at the Seymour Camp on Tuesday last, was received with universal regret in Frankston. He was conveyed to the Base Hospital, Melbourne the same day in an unconscious state, and from the meagre particulars to hand we learn that he is still

unconscious, though slightly easier. *** THE body of a woman was washed up on the beach at high tide at “Moondah,” between Frankston and Mornington, on Thursday morning. The woman was about 55 to 60 years of age, 5 feet 2 inches high, slight, with grey hair and grey eyes. She was wearing a heavy brown coat and black dress with white stripes, and new shoes.

The body was taken to the Mornington police station, where it awaits identification. Appearances indicated that the body had been only a few hours in the water. *** A grand Patriotic Dance, in aid of Australia’s Sick and Wounded Soldiers will be held in the Nor Mess Hall, on the works at Finders Naval Base, on Friday, 24th inst.

The concert programme will be a good one,and will be farther enhanced by two artists from Melbourne, and a pianist from Allan’s music warehouse.

The hall is a very capacious one, having 25,000 feet dancing space, will be specially fitted up for the convenience of the dancers, and as there will be a full moon on the occasion there will doubtless be a record attendance. *** IT will be seen from an advertisement in another column that a fourth presentation will be made on Monday, Sept 20th to volunteers to the front, drawn from Frankston and the immediate district.

It will be remembered that the pre-

sentation was originally arranged for Aug 23rd but the function had to be postponed owing to the outbreak of cerebro-spinal-meningitis, the moving of the reinforcements and the inability of the recruits to obtain leave.

The Hon. Sec (Dr Plowman) desires that friends of any recently enrolled recruits will send to him the names of the latter together with their exact camp addresses. If this is done his work will be greatly facilitated. *** WE are in receipt of the “Patriot”, a leading Brisbane paper, and from it we take the following cutting, which appears under a splendid portrait of Mr Frank Jolly, of Frankston:— “Skater versus Pedestrian” — Recently Mark Gilbert, the skater, challenged Frank Jolly, the sprinter, to a race over four laps of 135 yards each— Jolly getting a start of one lap or in other words 135 yards in 540 yards.

The event took place on August 21st, at the Brisbane Roller Rink, when there was a large gathering to witness the race, including many of the fair sex; and when Jolly won easily by nearly a lap it was seen that the result was a popular one.

The winner is local representative of the Vacuum Oil Company Ltd., and a well known ex- Victorian sprinter; while Gilbert hails from Manchester, England, and has a big Brisbane reputation as a skater. *** THE Peninsula Football Association held its final meeting for the season at Somerville, on Wednesday eve-

ning last, when delegates representing Mornington, Langwarrin, Naval Base, Somerville, Frankston, and Tyabb were present. Dromana and Hastings were unrepresented.

A letter was received from Major Lloyd, enclosing donation of £1, which was received with thanks. The balance sheet was then read which showed receipts £155 10s 1d; expenditure, £138 18s 9d; credit balance, £16 11s 4d ; and after paying the two trophies of £5, and £2 10s left a balance of £8 13s 4d in the bank. Mr Jones moved that the fine of £2 2s be refunded to the Naval Base Club, on the grounds that the club contracting the fine was defunct, seconded by Mr Barnes.

After the matter had been fully discussed the motion was lost on the show of hands. After the routine business had been finished, the President said he had much pleasure in declaring Mornington club premiers for 1915, and Langwarrin runners up.

The Mornington club had been in the association since its formation, and this was the first time they had won, and they were proud of their victory.

Mr Wesley responded on behalf of the Mornington Club, and Guard Fletcher also responded on behalf of the Guards. Votes of thanks were passed to the President and Secretary, to which both gentlemen responded, and the meeting terminated. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 September, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Tips for surviving a public transport strike

By Stuart McCullough ‘PLAN your journey’. This advice flashed at me as I set off for work on Friday. In big urgent letters, the sign warned of the impending train strike while also offering sage counsel as how to best respond to the imminent crisis. But of course! Plainly, my preferred approach of not planning my journey would no longer suffice. Stepping outside my front door and letting anarchy ensue simple does not cut the mustard in these strike-plagued times.

A different approach is called for.

Until now, it has never occurred to me to plan my journey. Usually, I just get my things and set off, hoping for the best and generally arriving at my preferred destination several weeks after I was first expected. Sure, it’s inefficient but I believed Robert Frost when he said that taking the road less travelled had made all the difference even if it also made him chronically late. Until now, getting from A to B has been something of a magical mystery tour that has taken in C, D, E and various other parts of the alphabet in between.

To be honest, I was expecting that my trip to work would be a car park that rolled forward a metre or two from time to time and one in which my usual travel experience was painfully extended. It wasn’t like that at all. In fact, there was less traffic than normal.

It could only mean that a large number of fellow commuters had either decided to work from home or taken the day off. They had, it seems, planned their journey by abandoning it altogether.

There have, of course, been public transport strikes throughout history. People often forget that the only

reason it took Odysseus ten years to return home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy was because of a snap tram strike. Clearly, Odysseus did not plan his journey. When Johnny Cash sang, I Walk the Line, it was something only made possible because there were no trains running. Not that this is much comfort when the Frankston to Flinders Street service vanishes for hours on end.

Having been told to plan my journey, there was little else for me to do other than to take this advice to heart. I poured over maps, I stared at the heavens in a desultory attempt to predict the weather and I wet my finger before

holding it aloft to see if I could tell which direction these ill-winds were blowing. But no matter how much effort I put into these activities, there was simply no getting around the fact that I was ‘here’ and I needed to get ‘there’. Frankly, no amount of planning could change that stark fact.

My first attempt left much to be desired. The initial draft of my plan saw me get from the house to Caulfield Station by riding on a donkey. There I would use an invisible sword to ward off evil spirits before training a dragon that I had doted on since infancy until it was willing to wear a saddle and fly me the rest of the way to the office.

As planned journeys go, mine was exquisite. But if it had a fault at all, it was (perhaps) slightly impractical and not as time efficient as it could have been. In terms of being late to work, telling your boss that it took you longer to train your dragon than you had first anticipated is rarely going to be viewed as an acceptable excuse.

Perhaps I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe I’m being far too linear about it all.

When the sign told me to ‘plan’ my journey, it could well be that this was not literally a direction to stare at a map for hours on end as though I was planning to deposit troops on the beaches of Normandy but a more philosophical

suggestion. ‘Plan your journey’, much like ‘Count your blessings one by one’ is not something to be taken literally – it’d take you all afternoon. In fact, perhaps ‘plan your journey’ is not so much a piece of advice as it is a musical suggestion.

Without a moment to lose, I quickly downloaded Don’t Stop Believin’ by American rock group Journey. I would plan my journey by creating a playlist containing the only song by the band Journey that I know. To be quite honest, I feel conflicted. While according to the internet, Don’t Stop Believin’ is an anthem that contains one of the greatest opening keyboard riffs of all time, it’s not really to my taste. The fact that it’s just over four minutes long means that I’ll need to listen to it roughly forty seven times on my way in to work. This, I feel, is unlikely to do much for my mood.

Let’s be honest: public transport strikes suck. On Friday at a rally of striking workers, one of the union officials was quoted as saying that this would be a long campaign as it was ‘a marathon, not a sprint’. To be fair, it’s only a marathon because the train from the city to Frankston isn’t operating. It seems we’re in it for the long haul and that there will be a lot more journeys to plan in the weeks ahead. If we are heading back to the 1970s, perhaps we can do so in a more complete sense.

Along with public transport strikes, maybe we can look forward to other things that made the seventies great, like flared trousers, power blackouts and stagflation. Here’s hoping. Until then, don’t stop believin’. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Music  Arts  Food

MUNSTER TERRACE RACK UP THIRTY YEARS OF ENTERTAINING Peninsula based rock band Munster Terrace have been performing around the traps for 30 years now, and they will be celebrating this milestone with a special show at the Rye RSL on Saturday the 12th of September.

The band first formed in 1985, and their debut gig was on the 7th of May of that year (supporting The Saints on their return to Australia after some years based in the U.K).

It took a year or so for the early version of “Munster” to find its’ feet, but by late 1986 the line-up was stable, and the band was a full-time proposition.

During the late 80s and early 90s Munster Terrace were regulars at venues all over the peninsula, with long-term residencies at locations such as The Continental Hotel – Sorrento, The Rye Hotel, The Rosebud Hotel, The Flinders Hotel, both The Westernport and Kings Creek Hotels in Hastings, The Cruz Club in Mornington, The Somerville Hotel, The Baxter Tavern, The Vines (Daveys) in Frankston, and Kelly’s Hotel in Cranbourne (to name but a few).

Although classic rock covers were featured in the live repertoire, the band’s focus during this time was on original material, and two of the band’s first three singles received “mainstream” attention. The first Single - Rollin’ made the MMM (EON F.M) playlist, and the third - Real Human Being received national exposure via MTV. The Late 90s and early 00s saw the band move more towards corporate functions, though residencies continued at some of the previously mentioned venues, as well as at places like the Coolstores in Mooroduc.

A second Album “The Transition” was released during this time, as well as Munster originals being featured on two compilation albums.

Munster Terrace haven’t officially released any new original material since 2003’s “Storybook” Album, but they continue to write/compose, and continue to perform high energy showcases of classic rock covers.

Venues at which the band has performed regularly in more recent years include: The Retronome, Rye – (which has now become Baha), Beaches in Mornington, and (of course) their current “home base” - The Rye RSL. All up, the band has clocked up 1200 gigs since its debut, and (needless to say) these figures would indicate that a huge number of peninsula dwellers/visitors have been entertained by Munster Terrace over the years.

To survive for 30 years, and to remain a popular live act for all that time is surely a fair effort by anyone’s standards, and the band feels it’s a milestone worth celebrating.

So – “The Munsters” are inviting everyone to come along and celebrate with them in a night of live classic rock music, memories, and with a few special surprises thrown in...

These include a concert–style lighting spectacular supplied by South Coast Mobile Discos, and also appearances by some special guest artists that have played a role in Munster’s journey.

There is no cover charge, and no booking requirements if you intend to turn up for the show only, but if you’d like to secure a table for a pre-show meal; reservations can be made via 59852595.

scoreboard Buds are burning hot SOUTHERN PENINSULA

na

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt ROSEBUD is now raging hot favourite to win the Nepean Division premiership after beating Somerville for the third time this season.

The Buds led for all but two minutes of the second quarter of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second semi final at Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RJ Rowley Reserve, eventually winning 10.17 (77) to 9.7 (61).

While the Buds advanced straight to the grand final, Somerville will play Sorrento in this Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary final at Tyabb.

Rosebud was always in control of the match against Somerville and never looked as though they were going to lose it.

Coming off a bye and two 100 plus point wins against Hastings and Tyabb in their last two matches had zero impact on the Buds, who won the game with bigger, stronger bodies and a greater desire for the contest.

The likes of Rohan Forrest, Nick Boswell, Greg Bentley, Jason Bristow, Brad McDonald and Rhys Bancroft were just too strong and powerful for their Somerville opponents.

The Eagles love to get on the outside and run and carry the footy, however at no stage were they given that opportunity on Saturday.

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell wanted a tough, inside game of footy and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what he got.

Somerville has averaged 16 goals a match this season but on three occasions in 2015, they have not been able to boot more than nine against Rosebud.

Rosebudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defence was superb.

Keegan Downie, who is a natural forward and started in attack, found himself in defence minding Luke Rowe. Rowe had zero impact on the match, such was the great job that Downie did.

Seb Kremich smashed Billy Rolfe, Matt Baker dominated Tommy Shaw and the likes of Daniel Wilson, Nick Boswell, Jack Jarman and Kurtis Corrin ran the ball out of the Rosebud defensive zone with ease and precision.

Nick Boswell was brilliant. He gained more meterage than any other player on the ground, waltzing around opponents and steaming out of defence as though the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forwards were witches hats.

Every time Tom Baker went near the footy, he had two or three opponents, which allowed Lachy Armstrong to get on his bike and be the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go toâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at high half forward. He worked tirelessly.

In the ruck, Ben Dwyer was clearly the best big man on the ground. He dominated against both Justin Farrelly and Scott Simpson. His work around the ground was also outstanding.

The best player on the park was Forrest. He finished with more than 25 touches and three goals. His work at stoppages was simply awesome. He was unstoppable.

The Somerville playmakers were all well beaten. Tim McGennis had just 19 possessions, many of which were ineffective.

Rowan Hogenbirk had 17 and was more dangerous in attack than he was on the ball. There is no doubt that he is still struggling with the thigh injury and has no power to break away from stoppages.

Josh Collie was quiet with 13 touches and Justin Allsop had nine.

Adrian Speedy and Ben Sedgewick were clearly the best players for Somerville, while Josh Westerman was also superb, either across half back or through the middle of the ground.

The Eagles just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ability to work their way out of the tough situation. Players got frustrated with the lack of space and constant pressure. Some were simply unable to find another gear.

The reality is that finals footy is completely different. When Sorrento turned up the heat in the last quarter in Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first final, they wiltered under the pressure. Luckily, the Eagles were able to sneak home.

On Saturday against Rosebud, the Eagles couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle the pressure again. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come down to ability, it comes down to mental toughness. Somerville has a very short amount of time to develop a tougher mindset to be able to cope with the pressure.

Sorrento will get another crack at Somerville in this Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preliminary final after tipping Red Hill out of the finals on Sunday.

The Sharks proved yet again that they can never be underestimated, jumping the Hillmen early and going on to record a comfortable 18.8 (116) to 9.16 (70) victory.

The Sharks were never troubled by the Hillmen, who went into the game as favourites.

Red Hill had the aid of the breeze in the final quarter but Sorrento pushed hard against the breeze and recorded a solid victory.

Somerville has beaten Sorrento on three occasions this season, however, the Sharks will go into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prelim chock-full of confidence.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

The steamrolling Stonecats PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE Frankston YCW freight train continued to steamroll anything in its path on Saturday at Frankston Park, belting Mornington by 89 points in the Peninsula Division qualifying final.

After resting up to eight players last week in the final home and away game of the season, the Stonecats came out firing from the first bounce on Saturday and eventually humiliated the team that almost snatched a premiership from them at the same venue last year.

I have been saying it for months and have been accused of being disrespectful to the other teams in the competition, however I reiterate again, this is the most powerful side that I have seen on the peninsula in more than a decade.

It’s going to take a special performance from a very good footy team to prevent YCW from tasting the ultimate success.

The Stonecats do not have a weak link. They have bigger, stronger bodies than any other team, they have a wonderful blend of experience and young, raw, talent and they have outside midfielders who are well over 6.3’.

Frankston YCW booted 10 goals in the opening half and 13 in the second.

More impressively though was the fact that they restricted the opposition to just nine goals for the match.

The 23.13 (151) to 9.8 (62) final

score was nothing more than embarrassing for Mornington.

The Dogs are supposed to be among the top three teams in the competition.

They certainly didn’t play like they were.

Mornington kicked the first goal of the match and led but the moment of excitement was short lived for Doggies’ supporters.

Mornington was that disappointed in the efforts of their team that they didn’t even register their goal kickers or best players after the game. From a club perspective, that was a poor reflection of the leadership of the club.

The Frankston YCW team manager Kevin Mulvogue on the other hand got cramps in his fingers given the even spread of performances from his team.

Anthony Bruhn is at home at Frankston Park and he booted seven goals for the winners on Saturday, while David Bodley and Lew Roberts booted three each. A further seven players contributed on the scoreboard.

Craig Nankervis is one of the most unheralded players in the competition, however, rarely does he put in a bad game and he always gives his coach Scott Mathers everything he has in the tank.

Jessie Coghlan and Ryan Santon were dominant and Ash Eames succeeded in his efforts to make a point that he believed he was the best big man in the competition.

The Stonecats will go into this Saturday’s preliminary final against Mt Eliza full of confidence after belting

the Redlegs the last time they played.

Edithvale-Aspendale led all day in the elimination final to knock Pines out of the 2015 season.

The Eagles went into the game without key players in Aaron Pawel in the ruck and Matt Kremmer up forward.

However, despite the structural effects, Mick Meehan booted four goals and Jarrod Garth three for the Eagles while Todd Woodbridge dominated on the wing.

Woodbridge had three opponents for the afternoon and was given enormous body pressure from the persistent Luke Holdcroft, however, withstood the attention and racked-up the possessions.

Brett O’Hanlon helped Edithvale set up the victory in the third quarter after leading by just four points at three quarter time.

With the aid of the breeze, the Eagles booted 4.9 to 3.1 in the third quarter to set-up a 24 point lead.

Pines had 19 inside 50m entries in the last quarter and got within 13 points, however Darcy Warke booted his third goal on the siren to hand the Eagles a 14.12 (96) to 10.17 (77) victory.

Guy Hendry booted five goals for the Pythons, while Aaron Edwards worked tirelessly at both ends of the ground. Skipper Beau Hendry was also very good for the red and green in the back half.

The Eagles will play Mornington in the First Semi Final next week.

Doggies muzzled: Mornington faced a 89 belting by Frankston YCW. They will now face Edithvale-Aspendale next week. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Team of the year - 2015

By Toe Punt THE Peninsula and Nepean Teams of the Year will be announced at MPNFL presentation dinners over the next couple of weeks.

Coaches were asked to provide ‘their’ team of the year, based on the matches they had seen in season 2015.

Media commentators Brent Clinnick and yours truly, Toe Punt, also put together a team based on the enormous amount of footy we have seen this season.

In Peninsula, there were a total of 66 players nominated in the squad.

In Nepean, there were 60 players nominated.

It was then my responsibility to put the teams together. This was done based on the number of ‘votes’ that players received from coaches. Players with the most number of votes automatically made the team.

Where there were players with an equal number of votes, I looked at whether their own coach nominated them. This was used mainly for the interchange players, as the large majority of the starting 18 in both teams picked themselves, based on the number of votes they received.

As always, the selected team is sure to raise plenty of discussion.

However, here are the squads……
