Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1m for super hole By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will find â&#x20AC;&#x153;annual organisational efficiency savingsâ&#x20AC;? of $500,000 a year and retain a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rate income windfallâ&#x20AC;? of $590,000 a year to make a down payment on its estimated $11 million superannuation fund shortfall. The super black hole for all Victorian councils of about $400 million was revealed earlier this month following a

review of the Defined Benefit Plan by the planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trustee, Vision Super. The Municipal Association of Victoria said Vision Super revealed most of the shortfall occurred during the final six months of 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x153;due to investment market volatilityâ&#x20AC;?, but no payments would be due till 1 July 2013. The News understands the shortfall is due to the global financial crisis and the fund under-estimating the length

of time beneficiaries are living after retirement. The super plan for local government employees was a compulsory scheme from 1982 and was closed to new members in 1993, the MAV said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike other exempt public sector schemes, it must be fully funded to pay the benefits owed to members now and into the future.â&#x20AC;?

Going, going: The iconic 78-year-old lookout tower on Arthurs Seat will be demolished next month. Picture: Yanni

Historic tower to go By Mike Hast THE iconic lookout tower atop Arthurs Seat will be demolished after an engineer’s report declared it had deteriorated beyond repair due to concrete cancer. The tower was built in 1934 to celebrate the centenary of Victoria, along with the Shrine of Remembrance, MacRobertson Bridge over the Yarra River at Toorak, Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School, and MacRobertson Fountain in the Domain, all associated with Sir Macpherson Robertson, a wealthy confectionery manufacturer. The tower is listed on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s heritage overlay and is in Arthurs Seat State Park. Its removal coincidentally opens the way for a new chairlift to replace the one built in 1961 that has not operated since mid-2006 when mechanical failure stranded about 12 people.

The incident followed the January 2003 collapse of a pylon that injured 18 people and stranded dozens more. A chair slipped down the cable in March 2004 and broke the legs of a 77-yearold woman. The consortium building the chairlift is led by 2011 Australian of the Year Simon McKeon, a senior executive with Macquarie Bank. In May 2011, the consortium unveiled plans for a $5 million chairlift that included a large glass and steel top station near where the lookout tower now stands. Plans showed a 360-degree viewing tower as well as a bottom station with cafe and large car park. The chairlift will have open chairs like the old one as well as six-seat, enclosed gondolas. Parks Victoria this week called for ideas from the public “on future inter-

pretation of the history of the lookout tower and Arthurs Seat precinct”. Chief ranger Libby Jude stated the tower would be removed “in coming months” and key items would be salvaged from the tower. Peter Holloway, president of Dromana and District Historical Society, wants a small museum on the footprint of the old tower underneath the chairlift cables. An interpretative centre could be incorporated into the chairlift’s top station, he said. It would tell the story of Arthurs Seat, which was a significant site for Aborigines as well as Europeans over more than 200 years. Explorer Matthew Flinders climbed the 300-metre mountain in 1803 during his survey of Port Phillip. Mr Holloway said the tower would be demolished at the end of August.

Mystery over beach deaths, rubbish By Keith Platt DISCOLOURED water, rubbish and dead animals and birds on southern peninsula beaches are being blamed on algal blooms, wind and tides. On Tuesday, Athena Hallahan found “dead birds and sea life such as puffer fish and heaps of jellies” at Blairgowrie beach. “It’s quite sad really. Many locals who walk on the beach are noticing it.” Two weeks earlier Judy Muir noticed a “red tide” that spread about two kilometres north from Stringer Rd, Blairgowrie. EPA media liaison officer Lauren Wall said pollution had been “ruled out” as a cause of death for animals and birds found on the beaches. Reports of discoloured water at Blairgowrie and Rye had been inspected by EPA officers, but they were “unable to confirm algae present”. “Officers found 10 dead puffer fish and one decomposing seal. Possible pollution was ruled out as being the cause,” Ms Wall said. Ms Muir, who operates Polperro Dolphin Swims, said red tides were caused by algal blooms “usually as a result of a high nutrient load”. “It usually appears as a very pale, almost indiscernible pink tinge to the water,” she said. “Pre-dawn, it shows as a mercurylike quicksilver. When I returned to the beach in the early hours of 14 July it did indeed remain as a silver gloss in parts. “What was interesting and distressing was the extent and intensity of this algal bloom. The sea was blood red and as thick as spilled paint. “Along the shoreline were vast numbers of porcupine puffer fish and seabirds, including rarely seen petrels, gulls and penguins.

“What was surely unprecedented was the number of dead birds of prey.” Ms Muir said among the dead birds were three owls and four kestrels or black-shouldered kites. “These birds do not flock and are rare. They are singular and territorial so it is remarkable that so many were found dead and in proximity. “They are not known to scavenge dead fish, so there is little likelihood that they died from eating poisonous fish.” Ms Muir said the beach from Whitecliffs to Sorrento was “littered in Melbourne’s waste”. Along with friends she collected up to eight bags of waste – parking tickets and individual chocolate wrappers, straws, plastic shards, lollypop sticks and cigarette packet cellophane. “Larger pieces were there too and at Sorrento by St Aubins Way, vast amounts of what appeared to be a material similar to nappy liners. This appeared to be either medical or industrial waste and it took just minutes to fill litter bags,” Ms Muir said. “One form of litter that should never appear is balloons and balloons on strings. “This waste should never be discarded skywards. Recent tributes to dead relatives, birthday celebrations and advertising see the release of hundreds of balloons. What are people thinking? “Hopefully more awareness will see this barbaric practice stopped. The bicatch of a balloon is awful.” Ms Muir said she had been told by an EPA officer that the beach rubbish “was simply overflow from Melbourne; rain and wind had sent it all south”. She said municipalities were failing to fit litter traps on stormwater drains because of the $70,000 to $100,000 cost.

Grants for ideas YOUTH Foundation Southern Peninsula is looking through applications for its latest round of grants. The foundation provides small grants for projects that will benefit young people on the southern peninsula. Jeanette Horsley, director of Rye Youth Services, said applications were reviewed and approved by a committee of young people “volunteering their time outside school hours” as well as the Bendigo Bank board of trustees. “The program provides a wonderful

opportunity for young people to learn the value of community engagement and activities. They develop a range of skills relating to grant process and procedure, leadership and meeting protocols,” she said. More than $35,000 has been granted for youth projects over the past two years. Ms Horsley said she was keen to hear from young people who wanted to join the committee as well as people with an idea for a project.

RED Hill’s community hall is to be demolished following a shire review of halls in Red Hill Ward, says ward councillor and mayor Frank Martin. The hall, which was renovated a few years ago, is the only readily accessible community meeting room in Red Hill. The other public area is the Red Hill Community Pavilion at Red Hill Recreation Reserve. The pavilion, built about three years ago, is required almost exclusively for cricket and football club use. The original recreation reserve pavilion has now been declared unsafe. It had been used as a

gymnasium after the sporting clubs moved into the pavilion, but also could be demolished. This would leave Red Hill without a community hall. Cr Martin told a meeting of the Red Hill Ward Consultative Group – comprising groups from Flinders, Red Hill, Shoreham and Somers –the pavilion might be extended to provide a community meeting area. The community hall on Mechanics Rd is used by many groups for activities such as dance classes and gentle exercise. Cr Martin said Shoreham’s hall was also under review, but the historic building would remain.

30 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Shire digs deep for pool By Mike Hast AFTER years of talk and argument, Mornington Peninsula Shire has started the real work of assessing building the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic (SPA) Centre on the Rosebud foreshore. A drilling rig from Preston-based Strategic Drilling Services, working for geotechnical consultants AECOM, last Wednesday bored six holes in Rosebud Carnival Park next to Rosebud Memorial Hall. The $36 million project, first proposed in 1999, will occupy 6800 square metres and be built on the park and the hall land. The hall will be demolished and a new version incorporated into the twostorey aquatic centre. On Tuesday, the shire issued a news release stating it had “engaged geotechnical consultants AECOM to undertake an investigation into geotechnical conditions” at the site. It said the works were “in accordance with the council resolution of June 18”. This was the meeting from which three of the six pro-foreshore pool councillors were absent – Crs Frank Martin and Antonella Celi at a local government conference in Canberra, and Cr Bill Goodrem on holiday. The five anti-foreshore pool councillors – Crs Leigh Eustace, Lynn Bowden, Graham Pittock, Tim Rodg-

ers and Bev Colomb – successfully put through a motion calling for geotechnical and engineering reports to be prepared before any further design work was done or a project manager appointed. SPA champion Cr David Gibb voted against the reports being prepared, as did his pro-foreshore pool colleagues Anne Shaw and Reade Smith. Tuesday’s news release also stated the works would “provide expert advice on geotechnical matters which may influence the design of the facility”. “Approximately six holes were drilled to depths between 10-15 metres. Contractors have now completed the testing. “The results will be reported to council and will assist in the development of a detailed concept plan for the site. Further testing may be required, subject to design decisions yet to be made.” The News approached the foreman of the drilling crew, but was directed to the shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble. Project geologist Tim Evans, not part of AECOM, told The News he had undertaken similar work on the peninsula and it was likely the drilling was part of an initial investigation. “You do some test holes and see what happens,” he said. “You might need to return and dig

some small pits with an excavator or drill more holes. “You’re looking at the geophysics of the site and you’d do some field mapping, too.” Told the holes had filled with water,

he said this was no surprise. “That part of Rosebud is close to the water table, but it does not need to be a problem as long as you protect foundations from future concrete cancer if the water is saline.”

Candidate makes early election run ELECTION 2012 By Keith Platt MICHAEL Stanley, right, has begun his campaign for election to Mornington Peninsula Shire by calling on Mt Martha residents to be involved in choosing a site for a skate park and criticising the lack of planning for another secondary school in Mt Martha or Mornington. Mr Stanley, right, says he will stand in the newly created Briars Ward against sitting councillors Anne Shaw, Bev Colomb and Leigh Eustace. The three sitting councillors at the moment are in single-councillor wards, a system that will change on Saturday 27 October as a result of last year’s Victorian Electoral Commission review into the shire’s electoral process. At this year’s elections, three multicouncillor wards will replace six single-councillor wards.

The 11 councillors will be split unequally between the wards, with three each in Briars Ward and Seawinds Ward, two in Nepean Ward and one each in Watson, Cerberus and Red Hill wards, all on the Western Port side of the shire. Mr Stanley unsuccessfully stood for election in 2003, gaining 20 per cent

of the votes. The four-way contest was won by Cr Shaw. This time around he has launched his campaign with a series of letters to the editor of community newspapers, including The News. Mr Stanley says Mt Martha residents should involve themselves in choosing a site for a skate park “to avoid the problems that beset Mt Eliza with the development of its skate park”. He said council was now looking at three possible sites: Eco Park, opposite Mt Martha Primary School in Glenisla Dve; the former parade ground below the tennis courts near Mt Martha Community House; and Ferraro Reserve. Continuing his “youth” theme, Mr Stanley says there are “education problems looming for Mt Martha and Mornington”. “With our population growth in the Mt Martha and Mornington region of the Mornington Peninsula, over the

past 13 years a major problem is rising for parents with children nearing secondary school age, a genuine lack of secondary school places,” he states in his latest letter to newspapers. He says the increasing population and number of babies “has caught many in authority offguard”. “Our primary schools are bursting at the seams, with some designed to educate about 450 students now catering for significantly larger numbers. The development of Bentons Junior College and Balcombe Grammar has offered some relief, thankfully, at primary level and to a lesser degree in secondary education. “However, with so many additional students seeking secondary places at both state and independently operated secondary schools in and around Mt Martha and Mornington, especially those in year 4, by 2015 we could have the very real prospect of not hav-

ing enough places to properly educate these children. “It is all well and good for Mornington MP David Morris to state in parliament last month ‘Certainly the anecdotal evidence suggests there is likely to be continued high demand for some time’ and to call on the Baillieu government to review the plans of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development for the provision of public secondary education in the Mornington electorate. “The time for a review was three or four years ago when it was becoming evident that our community was growing faster than we could cater for; now is not a time for review, now is a time for action.” Mr Stanley said it was obvious that by 2015 “we will need a new secondary school built somewhere east of the Nepean Highway in either Mt Martha or Mornington”.

Erosion is natural

Foreshore pool

THE article ‘Maintenance delay at Portsea pier’ (The News, 12/6/12) cites the views of longstanding protagonists who continue to mistakenly attribute responsibility for the erosion at Portsea beach to dredging. We hear the same tired chorus, which completely disregards the overwhelming body of independent evidence indicating a strong causal link between erosion and natural events. The credible studies on coastal processes all suggest that the shape and form of beaches around Port Phillip are typically not permanent fixtures. These beaches are inherently dynamic and subject to a wide range of natural forces, which ultimately shape the foreshore. It is reasonable that stakeholders should make their concerns known but commentary on the subject should be balanced with hard facts rather than hearsay. Stephen Bradford CEO, Port of Melbourne Corporation

THE articles by David Harrison about the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre were an eye-opener. It strikes me that the six councillors for the pool on the foreshore are prepared to steamroll it through the council no matter what. The idea of a pool for Rosebud is tremendous, but why do these councillors insist that it must be on the foreshore? What about the cost to ratepayers? What about the fact that a pool previously built in Rosebud on the foreshore had to be closed and then demolished because of the problems such siting caused? Are they rushing it through so it is a done deal by the time of the council elections in October? Where are the meetings, supported by the council, to find out the thoughts of residents?

Golf hotel on course for opening By Keith Platt PORTSEA Golf Club’s $10.5 million hotel, clubhouse and convention centre is on course to open in May 2013. Completion of the project will mark a major step in the club’s bid to survive and prosper in an area that has no shortage of golf courses. The 24-room hotel complex will be run under the Accor hotel group’s Mercure banner. “We approached a number of groups and Accor was on top of our list,” Portsea committee member Michael Power said. “The club owns everything and is paying for construction and they’ll be our managers.” Money for the development has been raised by selling part of the golf course, which was originally subdivided in 1926. “The title had been sitting in our safe,” Mr Power said. Fourteen of the 21 blocks have been sold. The remainder are on the market for about $1.2 million each. Five of them are literally underneath the existing clubhouse and will not be available for development until it is demolished. Work on the new hotel and clubhouse began in April with celebrity club member Eddie McGuire donning a safety helmet and fluoro jacket for photographers to record the event. Mr McGuire and “ambassadors” for club sponsor, vitamin manufacturer Swisse, are likely to be involved in an event planned for the opening. Mr Power said the club was “planning something special to celebrate the

biggest event in the club’s history”. Although reluctant to provide details, Mr Power said the opening could involve Mr McGuire and Swisse, whose ambassadors include cricketer Ricky Ponting, Formula 1 driver Mark Webber, sailor John Bertrand, TV vet Chris Brown, former football coach Tommy Hafey, swimmer Geoff Huegill and entertainer Marcia Hines. Mr Power said the development had been “quite a journey”, involving two VCAT (Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal) hearings and marketing land during the global financial crisis.

He said the club – the southernmost of 22 rivals vying for members and players – had decided to build a hotel because it needed “a point of difference; golf courses are a very competitive business”. “We’ve taken this different approach to secure the club’s future,” Mr Power said. “It will also help build the peninsula as a tourist destination and we’re plugging into the Accor group worldwide.” Mr Power said the Portsea club had “a long, proud history” since its beginnings in the mid-1920s He said the club had received “good

support” from Mornington Peninsula Shire and the builders were ahead of schedule despite weather problems. However, news of the tie-in with Accor was not universally acclaimed, with golfers questioning the viability of running a hotel with the golf course. In February a spirited discussion on iseekgolf.com ranged from calling for details of the deal with Accor to changes to the course layout. “Peppers fled to Moonah Links and now Delgany, once an exclusive hotel, is another housing estate.

somehow reverse this trend?” one post stated. “Ask any owner or operator of hotels in the Sorrento or Portsea area and they’ll tell you making money from accommodation over the full year is extremely difficult. “The most successful clubs engage the membership as they progress through such critical matters. “But ask any Portsea member about these sorts of details and you’ll get a blank look, because they have been kept in the dark when it comes to everything other than bland generalities.”

Shire’s top finance man resigns KEVIN Clarke, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s top finance man, has resigned to take up a senior role with Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local. The Medicare Local branch for the region was started in May and is a federal government-funded organisation designed to assist medical professionals keep people out of hospitals. Peninsula GP Network led a consortium of seven organisations to establish the branch. Mr Clarke, 58, will become director of corporate services for Medicare Local. The shire’s director of sustainable organisation started in the finance department of the Shire of Mornington in 1983, moving to the new City of Casey (the former cities of Berwick and Cranbourne) after council amalgamations in 1995 as director of corporate services. He resigned after a year and moved to Queensland, becoming finance manager at the Shire of Noosa. Mr Clarke returned to Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999, starting a week after the appointment of current CEO Michael Kennedy. On Wednesday Mr Clarke told The News moving to Medicare Local was “another exciting chapter” in his career and he was looking forward to working at the newly established organisation. He will leave the shire mid-August and start at the end of the month. Mike Hast

CARAVAN PARKING FREE TO RESIDENTS

Green wedges face threat from new rules By David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula’s extensive green wedge zone could face intensive development under far-reaching proposals released last week by Planning Minister Matthew Guy. Mr Guy claimed his “sweeping reforms” of rural zones, which include green wedges, would promote agriculture by removing “the onerous requirements for a planning permit”. Seventy per cent of the peninsula is green wedge land, much of it productive farmland currently protected from development. Mr Guy’s plans strip away this protection. With Mornington Peninsula Shire and many of the region’s conservation groups fighting to preserve green wedge land, two of Mr Guy’s changes in particular could deal a catastrophic blow to their efforts. They are:  An end to the requirement that tourist and other businesses must be built on more than 40-hectare blocks.  An end to the requirement that many such businesses must have an essential link to agriculture. New businesses including restaurants, convention centres and residential hotels have been stymied by the need to meet the land size and agricultural link requirements. With those restrictions swept away and many new non-agricultural uses of green wedge land introduced by Mr Guy’s plans, the battle to preserve the green wedge could become nearimpossible. Proposed new uses include primary and secondary schools, medical centres, “residential buildings”, research centres and rural stores. It is unclear if service stations and display homes would also be permitted. Abattoirs, rural industry and the sale of primary produce will also be allowed. Of these, only abattoirs will need to seek a permit. Service stations and display homes have been removed from the list of prohibited uses on green wedge land, but the government’s proposals do not indicate whether they will now be allowed in the zone. One government

document refers to many prohibited uses becoming discretionary. In his press release, Mr Guy said: “Green wedges are not stagnant zones, their intention is to be a working agricultural buffer for niche industries; these reforms will provide a much greater ability for the intention of the zone to be fully realised.” He does not give examples of “niche industries” or expand on how they would expedite “the intention of the zone”. But elsewhere his department’s documents state the proposed changes “will support agricultural activity, allow more tourism-related uses and support population retention to sustain rural communities”. Mr Guy’s stated in his press release: “Proposed reforms to rural” (including green wedge) “zones will promote the growth of agricultural activity and give Council’s [sic] much-needed flexibility to adapt planning requirements to local circumstances.”

But Mornington Peninsula farmers could be heavily disadvantaged if Mr Guy’s proposals lead to increased demand for farmland, pushing up its price and their rates bills and making it difficult to acquire more land. Considerable confusion surrounds the changes, which are referred to in a discussion paper on the state planning department website as “reformed rural zones”. Under the headline “What changes are proposed?” a number of dot points do not differentiate between green wedge zones and the farming zone – essentially broad acres outside metropolitan Melbourne where the bulk of Victoria’s farming is done. Some of dot points apply in green wedges. Others may not. Mr Guy does not differentiate between them in his discussion paper. He states: “The proposed reformed rural zones will:  Support agriculture by making most agricultural uses ‘as of right’ instead of

needing a planning permit.  Respect the rights of farmers by removing permit requirements for farming-related development.  Provide flexibility for farmers by allowing the sale of farm produce without the need for a permit.  Facilitate business by no longer prohibiting complementary retail uses.  Facilitate tourism by reducing or removing permit requirements related to tourism uses.  Make many prohibited uses discretionary in all rural zones.” Further confusion arises because of the two classes of green zones – Green Wedge and Green Wedge A. In the latter, land can be subdivided to lots down to as small as eight hectares (about 20 acres). Most other proposed changes are common to both green wedge zones. Mornington Peninsula is largely Green Wedge, retaining a minimum subdivisible lot size of 40ha (about 100 acres).

Several proposals by Mr Guy are remarkably similar to the shire’s Green Wedge Action Plan, released about 18 months ago. In it the shire advocated breaking the link between agriculture and businesses in green wedge zones, and making land use proportional – that is, allowing green wedge businesses to be proportional to land size – effectively abolishing the 40ha rule. The shire also seeks to increase tourist accommodation in green wedges, which Mr Guy’s changes would allow. Ironically, at the same time the shire is seeking more intensive green wedge development, it advocates “rigorous opposition” to any amendments to the green wedge zone “which would reduce the minimum lot size requirements”. The closing date for public comment on Mr Guy’s proposed changes is 21 September. The website is www.dpcd. vic.gov.au Click on “Get involved in planning” and follow the links.

A WARNING has been issued for motorists and pet owners on the Mornington Peninsula to watch out for koalas over the next few months. The koalas are more likely to be on the ground looking for a mate and patrolling their territories between July and September, according to the Backyard Buddies arm of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife. “Koalas mainly sleep during the day, and move from tree to tree during the night to feed,” foundation CEO Susanna Bradshaw said. “Threats to koalas include habitat clearing, being hit by cars, dog attacks and fires.” Ms Bradshaw said there were many ways of making the peninsula koala friendly, including: Driving carefully in areas where koalas may be trying to cross the road. Keeping dogs on the leash when walking and training them not to chase animals. Keeping dogs indoors at night as most dog attacks of koalas happen in a dog’s own backyard.

If you see an injured koala while driving but can’t stop, check your odometer and record the distance to a known point so you can tell wildlife carers where the animal is. The koala, greater glider and ringtail possum were the only mammals that can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves, which is low in nutrients and poisonous to most native animals. “Koalas eat eucalyptus and some non-eucalyptus leaves,” Ms Bradshaw said.” They have local and seasonal preferences toward different plant species. If you can plant some eucalypts to help out your local koalas, it might be a good idea to contact your nearest national park office, council or native nursery to ask which eucalypts koalas in your area will eat.” If you see an injured koala, Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula on 0417 380 687, the Department of Sustainability and Environment on 136 186 or RACV Wildlife Connect on 13 11 11 to be connected to the nearest wildlife shelter operator.

Concrete slab row flares again A NEW dispute has flared over the concrete slab and wall built to protect a gas tank at Red Hill Epicurean Centre on Shoreham Rd, Red Hill South. While shire mayor Frank Martin had previously told residents the wall and slab were illegally built on the road reserve and would be removed, the wall has been reduced to a height apparently requested by shire planners and the slab remains untouched. The area around the slab was being prepared for concreting on Monday afternoon, including a large area beside it, also on the road reserve. Contacted by a Red Hill resident re-

garding the imminent concrete pour, a shire manager asked repeatedly: “What’s your concern?” apparently not accepting that the slab was illegal and should be removed. The resident’s concern the slab was dangerous to traffic was brushed aside. In an email to Cr Martin, the manager stated that officers were “following a balanced approach and giving the owner a reasonable time to find a solution” to relocating the gas tank. The brick wall “won’t be remaining as it does not have approval and is on our land,” the manager wrote, adding: “I understand that people are frustrated

with this one, we are working through the issues, including reinstatement of the land, (all in the fullness of time).” Red Hill Community Action notified the shire and VicRoads of the illegal slab and wall several months ago and had been told several times both would have to be demolished. They were concerned at the time it was taking for this to occur and were alarmed at the owner’s intention to install a concrete car park, which doubles the area of concrete that extended into the road reserve by about three metres. VCAT gave property owner Joseph Alesci permission for a gravel car park.

Lew pool removal terms agreed

$0/4&37"503*&4 46/300.4 100- &/$-0463&4 2-% 300.

By Mike Hast RETAIL clothing billionaire Solomon Lew will give Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises $50,000 as part of an agreement for the demolition of a pool built on public land on Mt Eliza’s foreshore in 2009. Mornington Peninsula Shire announced the payment to the not-forprofit group – which trains disadvantaged young people – in a media statement on Tuesday. The shire described the payment as “an ex gratia payment” and said it was “appreciative to [sic] Shuttlehall for this gesture of goodwill”. The shire statement did not nominate the sum, but the amount was confirmed to The News in June. An ex gratia payment is a voluntary payment made without the giver recog-

nising any liability or legal obligation. The horizon pool, believed to have cost about $400,000, was built without a planning permit and on Crown land next to the Lew family holiday property on Osprey Ave above Moondah Beach. Shuttlehall Pty Ltd is a company owned by Mr Lew and his daughter Jacqueline Lew, who is believed to use the property as a holiday retreat. The home has an indoor pool. In August 2010, the shire ordered the outside pool be demolished and remediation of Crown land on which the pool, a retaining wall, fence and landscaping had been placed. Then followed months of controversy as Mr Lew’s lawyers tried first to buy the public land and then lease it. Mornington MP David Morris lobbied strongly for no sale of the land.

A retrospective building permit was sought from the Building Appeals Board, but refused. The shire closed part of Moondah Beach over fears the land would subside when cracks were discovered in the retaining wall. Last December an agreement was reached with the shire prior to the matter going to Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Shuttlehall will make the payment to MPYE as well as pay the shire’s legal costs, believed to be about $150,000. In its statement, the shire said it had executed a deed of settlement with Shuttlehall. Solomon Lew’s name is not mentioned in the shire statement, which The News believes was vetted by Mr Lew’s lawyers, Schetzer Brott and Appel. “Under the deed, Shuttlehall has

been given a licence to carry out remediation work on the land, which involves demolition of the pool and associated retaining walls,” the shire stated. “The work will also include soil reprofiling and planting native vegetation so that the site will match the condition of the surrounding Crown land. “Council became aware of the existence of the swimming pool in this secluded part of the Crown land reserve in late 2010. The pool was emptied and covered to prevent its use in mid2011 while the council investigated the stability of the site and conducted negotiations with representatives from Shuttlehall regarding the safe removal of the pool. “Given the geological nature of the area and access issues, considerable time was required to properly investigate and document the proposed works.

“The work plan was then submitted for approval to the coastal management authority [Department of Sustainability and Environment] and other relevant state government bodies. That approval was issued last month. “Council looks forward to the agreed work being undertaken over the coming months.” The mayor, Cr Frank Martin, said the deed of settlement had avoided “potentially very costly legal proceedings, which may have seen the issue tied up in the courts for many years”. Cr Martin said Shuttlehall would be given a “reasonable period” to comply with the deed. “Our officers will be working closely with Shuttlehall to ensure the works can be completed as soon as possible, subject to weather conditions and the availability of contractors.”

And this is part of what they do, but what they do best is provide the base against which his arm can work to throw a steel ball weighing 7.26 kilograms. Stevenson’s shoulders are also carrying the weight of Australia’s expectations in the shot put event at the London Olympics. Stevenson, formally of Moorooduc, hopes to follow in the footsteps of hurdler Debbie Flintoff-King who in 1988 won won the 400m gold medal at the summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, when she was living in Moorooduc. If Stevenson manages to win in London, his name may need to be added to road sign leading into the town that carry an acknowledgement of FlintoffKing’s achievement. The shot put is being held on the first day of the athletics, 3 August. It is the first of 47 events in the athletics that involves 2000 athletes. Before arriving in London, Stevenson, 23, trained in Germany and competed in the Spanish capital Madrid, Sotteville in France and in Poland. “I use these comps to tune-up for the games,” Stevenson said two days before leaving his Vermont home. He will be at London’s Olympic village on 29 July, four days before he faces his biggest test yet. “Last year’s world champion from Germany will be a favourite, but the

Americans and a Canadian have been in great form and will be gunning for him,” he says. Stevenson’s personal best throw is 20.62 metres and he sees anything over 21m as being “in the mix for medals”. The former state champion and Delhi Commonwealth Games bronze medalist threw his Olympic qualifier in May while competing in South Carolina, in the United States. “My aim is to make the top 12, which will require a throw of 20.2 plus in the qualifying rounds. “It’s important to note that the Olympics are not necessarily the best conditions to throw PBs; it all comes down to handling pressure and headto-head competition.” Raised in Moorooduc and educated at the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza, Stevenson has relatively recently add-

ed yoga and meditation to his sevenday training regimes. His weekly program includes four throwing sessions, three weight sessions at the gym, three plyometric (power training) circuits and two sessions with a movement coach. This includes including yoga, massage, postures and breathing awareness. “Unlike some other sports, there is a definite limit to the amount of training we can do; the intensity required during weights and throwing sessions does not lend itself to any longer durations of work. “I started practising yoga and meditation after elbow surgery in 2011,” Stevenson says. “I found the rehab process to be frustrating and needed an outlet that would allow me to strengthen the elbow again. “I learned more about my body through the challenges presented in that space than I had in all my other sporting pursuits combined. I have built some of these philosophies and approaches into my program permanently and am better for it. “Meditation has also provided a great natural avenue for me to rest and rejuvenate, ensuring that I can give 100 per cent energy to my sessions.” Stevenson estimates the yearly cost of being an Olympian at $40,000$50,000. Although sponsors are not lining up outside his door, he gets footwear and apparel from Saucony, and has a manager “to help source some backing during this period of very high exposure”. “We aren’t a professional code like

football, yet we train full time and need to self-fund the majority of our expenses. “Fortunately I am now competing at a level where – with the assistance of the Victorian Institute of Sport – most of my medical, travel and training expenses are covered. “Athletes at the very top of their event – such as Sally Pearson and Steve Hooker – can do very well from the sport through sponsors and endorsements, but they will admit that their developmental years were extremely challenging financially. “Steve didn’t become a professional athlete until 2007; he won the Olympics the following year. “One of the saving graces for our sport is that we have scope to represent sponsors well, unlike team sports which are often more bound by their league and club obligations.” The Bluearth Foundation, a Melbourne-based charity that works with schools, employs Stevenson. “I think that they have gained something from having me as an employee, but I hope they realise how grateful I am to have been given the flexibility to not only earn an income, but also do something I truly enjoy. “Many athletes end up either not working and struggling to pay their way through athletics, or working a job they don’t enjoy to make ends meet.” To cope with the demands of a gruelling training schedule and constant search for funds, Stevenson advises budding sportspeople to make sure they “love the game”. “The underlying foundations of hu-

man energy are based in love, truth and beauty; not money, ego or notoriety. “It’s too easy to fall out of love with the sport if you don’t have authentic passion. “Also, trust your own wisdom; there is a temptation of the grass being greener, but you need to be able to channel 100 per cent of your energy into training and this can’t be done if you’re constantly questioning your path.” While it may not be in the mainstream of sports, Stevenson does not shut out the prospect of being a professional shot putter. “I’d estimate that there are 30-50 professionals in the world. I am ranked inside the top 20 but don’t live in Europe or America, so it’s harder to get the financial support to train professionally. “I believe that if I stay focused on enjoying the process, the results will keep improving and an opportunity will arise to make a living from throwing.” London has been long-term goal and his future could depend on the result. “My partner [Lauren Cleasby-Jones] has been extremely supportive of my career to now and we have both sacrificed a lot in the aim making this Olympic final. Afterwards, I will sit down with her and a few other stakeholders and reassess the situation for the future.” Lauren as well as Dale’s parents, Ian and Jenny, of Mornington, and sister Erin, are in London for the Games.

Our Olympic perspective: Judy Pollock reflects WITH the London Olympics just a few days away, PETER McCULLOUGH talks with Olympian Judy Pollock, who has lived on the Mornington Peninsula for more than 50 years. For much of the time she lived in Balnarring and taught at Red Hill Consolidated School. Recently she moved to Dromana where she was happy to reflect on her extensive career in athletics. *** Where did your interest in athletics spring from? At school – at Mt Macedon and then Kyneton High School – I had shown an aptitude for running and always seemed to win most of my races at school sports. Mum was a sporty person and suggested that I might like to run in Melbourne; first she got me playing netball in Melbourne and then I became a member of Mentone Athletic Club. So every Saturday I would catch the diesel down to Melbourne. Mum insisted that I balance culture and sport so on Saturday mornings I attended the Hector Crawford School of Radio Production where we learned to speak on radio and read a play script. After lunch at the T&G Building – I always had baked beans as we never had them at home – I would go out to the University of Melbourne where we would run on a grass track. The first time I went to the track at the university, an official asked me “Have you got starting blocks?” and I replied “What are they?” Fortunately I had a pair of spikes as mum had asked Hope Sweeney to make me a pair. I lined up – crouch start – and ran 100 yards, beating the club champion who was also the Victorian champion. She promptly fainted at this turn of events. I think she was mortified; she was the star of the show and had been beaten by an unknown running her first race. As I was having some success, mum got me a coach: Henri Schubert who was the Victorian Women’s Amateur Athletic coach. This was 1957. Henri would come up to Macedon to train me on a strip across the paddocks that dad had mown for me with the tractor. Even then my main interest was netball (or women’s basketball as it was called in those days). I was a state representative in the under-21 netball team and travelled interstate. However we played on asphalt courts and there was always the danger of being injured in a fall. Eventually my coach told me that I had to make a choice and I chose athletics. Was there a history of athletics in the family? Not really, although my mother had played state netball and dad was a keen footballer and cricketer. They both loved their sport. However in one of those coincidences that crop up occasionally, I once picked up a book, One Man and His Family, written by a cousin of mum’s – he was the Attorney-General in Canberra – and discovered that Raelene Boyle and I are distantly related. We never knew this when we were athletes, but we always had a good relationship. The media generally portrayed Raelene as having too much to say. Was this correct? Perhaps at times, but she was also an instigator of turning things around for athletes. For instance, when she first started they wanted her to wear the official adidas tracksuit and she refused as she worked for Puma. The officials ruled our lives and Raelene didn’t always buckle under, but she was a lovely person. She won two silver medals

enough to make the final but unfortunately that was not the case. It’s history now but the athletes from the Iron Curtain countries were heavily into drugs. So, although it was a disappointment, it was also an achievement as it was the fastest race of my career. As a competitor, were you aware of the drug situation? Not really. If officials had been aware they would have tested those competitors. When I look back it should have been obvious that many of those women from Iron Curtain countries were full of testosterone: they had facial hair, huge muscles and they walked like men. Our achievements were pretty significant when you think what we were up against. The only testing at that time was to check that you were definitely a woman. I had to front up for an inspection even though I had given birth to two children! Strangely, my coach, Henri Schubert, who was German, never mentioned the drug issue. I was running good times and he would be contacted by European coaches enquiring as to his coaching methods. But he never mentioned the drug problem: whether he was ignorant of its extent, or whether people would think he was being unsportsmanlike if he raised the matter, I’m not sure. What of the current debate over sleeping tablets such as Stilnox? I must admit that getting to sleep before a big race was always a problem. The adrenalin would kick in as soon as your head hit the pillow and it was virtually impossible to sleep. If the medication is monitored by medical staff it would be a bonus for the athlete to have a decent night’s sleep.

at Munich that would have been gold except that her East German opponent (Renate Stetcher) was one of the early drug cheats. I caught up with Raelene recently at the Prime Minister’s Olympic dinner and we did some reminiscing. Of course she is younger than me but we roomed together at both Munich and Montreal; perhaps they thought I would keep her in line! Did any of your children follow in your sporting footsteps? My son, Nathan, the eldest, played football for Frankston in the VFA and when he was 10 he ran the first 3MP marathon from Frankston to Melbourne. I was on the board of 3MP at the time and it was suggested that I should run. This was a bit of a shock as I had never run a marathon, but we started training and in the end Nathan and his father (Euan), the girl I was training with and I all completed the course. So Nathan was a good allround sportsman. He now lives at Byron Bay and surfing is his interest. Brooke, my elder daughter, played top-level basketball for Eltham and

Southern Peninsula News 26 July 2012

was a level 10 gymnast. She still loves her sport: down at Port Fairy she is president of the netball club, plays netball and basketball, and is involved in soccer. She also participates in surf carnivals, rowing with the Port Fairy Surf Club. The youngest, Breearna, was national under-21 champion for the pentathlon when she was 14, but found the training too much. However she played other sports. Now I have to look to the next generation. One of Nathan’s daughters is the NSW javelin champion for her age group. I don’t know how that has happened: a thrower instead of a runner! Brooke’s children run their crosscountry events at Port Fairy. All you can hope is that they continue with their sport and that they enjoy it. Are you still running? I do a lot of walking/jogging and I also like to ride a bike on the bike paths. I have also been a keen swimmer and am only a short walk from the beach here at Dromana.

What was the highlight of your athletic career? There were a number of highlights but the standout was winning the bronze medal in the 400 metres at the 1964 Olympics behind Betty Cuthbert and Ann Packer of the UK. I was virtually an unknown then and was lucky to scrape into the team. There were three runners under consideration – Betty, Dixie Willis and me – and we all won a race in the trials so it was decided to send all three. As you move on, other things come to mean more to you: I broke three world records, two of which were at the World Games at Helsinki in 1967. It was the first time women had attended the World Games and I was invited to provide some competition for the European champion, Vera Nikolic, in the 400 and 800 metres. I managed to beat her and she became very distressed. Then, in 1976 at Montreal, at the end of my career, I ran the 800 metres in less than two minutes, the second Australian female to do so. My coach thought a time like that would be good

We talked about the highlights of your career; was there a lowlight? Without a doubt it was the events at Munich in 1972. Although I was injured and unable to compete, I was still living in the Olympic Village and went for a run that morning with our 1500 metre runner, Jenny Orr. We were going around the oval when Jenny said, “Judy. Don’t look now but there is a man up on that balcony with a gun.” I glanced up and there he was; I can still see him now with his balaclava on and holding his gun. We both freaked out and headed for the village gates. We completed our run and then found that we were unable to get back inside again. On the other side was Judy Joy Davies of The Sun trying to get a photograph of us trying to push our way through the throng. We went around to another gate and were able to get in, but we still didn’t know what was going on. A bit later I went out to lunch with mum and dad and heard some details on the radio. When I got back there was a queue a mile long and dad said, “How will we know that you have got back inside safely?” I said “I will coo-ee when I’m inside”, which I did and dad coo-eed back! I no sooner was back inside when a heavily armed soldier shouted “Get down” and pushed me and several others under an army vehicle. A helicopter then came in and landed in the car park just below the truck – I still get goosebumps thinking about it – and loaded the Israeli athletes into the helicopter. They then flew to the airport where all of the athletes were killed. It was terrible. Some officials wanted to cancel the Games. In the end the events for next day were cancelled and a memorial service was held. I think only officials attended from the Australian contingent.

Back here my coach’s wife was looking after my two children and the news out of Munich was confusing: she did not know for quite a while whether her husband was okay or whether I was okay. When we got back no one ever said to us “Would you like to talk about it?” The attitude was that it was bad luck but you move on. On top of all that the doctor had told me that because of my injury I would never run again. This was like a red rag to a bull. I was determined to prove him wrong and four years later I was packing my bags for Montreal. Are you still involved in athletics? I don’t do any coaching but I belong to a group called Athletics International, which runs programs for up-and-coming athletes. To coach these days you need every certificate imaginable. Besides, when I retired from competition I became involved with my own family and their sport, and I was teaching at Red Hill Consolidated School. I still go to a number of athletics meetings and follow the results. There are frequent functions where I catch up with all my old friends from athletics. Apparently there is a Masters group based in Rosebud – I used to run with them when I was doing fun runs in my 40s – but they train at Ballam Park in Frankston. There really should be a track on the peninsula. It is very hard to get good young athletes to maintain their interest. When I was teaching I was involved in coaching for the Pacific School Games, but a few outstanding young boys were swept up in the football net. That’s the hard part: not just finding the young champions but holding onto them. Money also comes into it: in athletics there is no money unless you reach the very top whereas in football an 18-year-old can already be earning big money. However they do have Youth World Championships and Youth Olympic Games to try and counter these difficulties. Even then there is not the funding and the parents have to fork out. Another involvement that I have is as a volunteer at the National Sports Museum at the MCG. What do you think of the Olympic Games in the 21st century? The costs of staging a Games seem to be getting out of hand. Many different sports are included these days and the host city has to find the money to cater

for their needs. When it comes to tickets, not only are they hard to get but also they are very expensive. I recently attended the Prime Minister’s Olympic dinner and $3 million was raised on the night. In my day we rattled tins in Collins St and went along to sportsmen’s nights with people like the late Judy Patching, a long-time Olympic official. As well as raising funds we had to fit in our training. I do not regret any of that: it was just how it was in my time as an Olympian. In spite of the cost and the fact that many of the venues become white elephants after the Games are finished, there is no shortage of countries seeking to stage the event. So they will probably continue to get bigger and better. Are you looking forward to the London Games? I am disappointed to see that we won’t have a women’s 100-metre relay team; apparently we don’t have four sprinters who have qualified. The same applies to the 400 metres and 800 metres. When you look back to what we achieved in the 1960s and ’70s our efforts were pretty good. Some of your contemporaries were Olympic legends and I’m sure readers would be interested in your comments. Betty Cuthbert: She was an amazing runner and, although some were surprised at her success in Tokyo in 1964, I certainly wasn’t. She had a special ability and a special faith and she was a great support to me when I was starting out. She also helped me through a few injury problems; unfortunately she couldn’t compete successfully at Rome in 1960 because of injury. She lives in a nursing home these days because of the MS, but I have never heard her complain. It is hard to reconcile her present physical condition with the fact that she was such a brilliant athlete. Recently she was given a legend status award by the International Olympic Federation, which was nice for her. She is a lovely lady and I talk to her regularly. Dawn Fraser: Dawn was at Tokyo in 1964, my first Games. I remember that the swimmers were not allowed to attend the opening ceremony as they had to swim next day. Dawn asked about the number of our bus and said, “I’m coming, so save me a seat.” So she attended and the swimming officials were running around looking for

her. She was a rebel but I thought the 10-year ban over the flag was tough. Now someone would be fined $1500 for such an incident. In those days the power of the officials was unbelievable. Ron Clarke: Ron was an amazing athlete who held so many world records. He was unlucky to miss out on an Olympic gold medal but he risked his life in the high altitude at Mexico City. Some people think that if you haven’t won a gold medal at the Olympics then you couldn’t have been much good, but gold medals are not easy to come by. Before Ron, Australia was fortunate to have a group of excellent middle distance runners – John Landy, Herb Elliott and Merv Lincoln – all of whom were real gentlemen. John still attends all our athletics functions and supports anyone whenever he can. What are your thoughts about some of our currrent leading athletes and issues? Sally Pearson: On the basis of her times, she would appear to be a monty for the gold medal, but you never know with hurdles; one slight hiccup can bring you undone. My training partner, Pam Kilborn (Ryan) should have won at Mexico City, but unfortunately had to settle for silver. Steve Hooker: I spoke to his parents at the PM’s Olympic dinner and apparently he has got his confidence back and is happy with the way things are going. He has produced some amazing performances, but a gold medal is never easy particularly in pole vaulting where confidence is vital. John Steffensen: Raelene Boyle gave him a bit of a serve recently, but I have always found him to be a delightful young man. He might be noisy and seek publicity but at least people come along to see him. At one time when those great middle distance runners were competing at Olympic Park, you couldn’t get near the place because of the crowds. Athletics needs more people like Steffensen to give the sport some characters. (We interviewed Judy before Pearson was beaten for the first time this year, by her US rival Kellie Wells; Hooker had another attack of the yips while competing in Europe; and Steffenson threatened to pull out of the team after not being selected in the 400 metres.) Nick D’Arcy: I always thought that under the Olympic rules you needed to have a clean record so I am rather surprised that he is in the team for

London. Look at Peter Norman who supported the “black power salute” guys in Mexico City; they didn’t send him to the next Olympics. We had to be very careful of all we said and did; we weren’t even allowed to speak to the press. Pippa Savage (the rower who was “expelled” from her crew because of personality clashes): It is not uncommon to find a highly strung athlete. Mind you, if it had been the boys’ crew they would probably have shrugged and said “Hey, let’s get on with it”. The Jana Pittman versus Tamsyn Lewis (Manou) rivalry: Both were in teams that I took to Pacific School Games. Jana has achieved a great deal in world athletics and Tamsyn is a great ambassador for Australian Athletics. They are two excellent athletes who never quite made it to where they deserved to be. Jana might even do well at rowing; it is not uncommon for athletes to switch sports these days. Kathy Watt switched from athletics to cycling, for example. The website for world famous athletes sums up Judy Pollock with the comment “Not a natural. Had to work

hard”. Was that a bit harsh? No, I think that is fair comment. I was a good sprinter but when they brought the 400 metres in for women my coach, Henri Schubert, said “I think you would be good at that.” So I focused on that event but it was very hard work. I trained every day of the week: I would drive to Melbourne with two toddlers in the car and leave them at Judy Patching’s house (Judy, who was team manager for a number of Olympic Games, was employed by Melbourne Parks and Gardens and lived in a house behind the Shrine. He was a lovely man who had time for everybody.) After a morning training at Olympic Park I would have lunch at Judy’s, a sleep, and then train again in the afternoon before driving back to Mt Eliza where I was living. This was mainly in winter as, being in the southern hemisphere, we were “out of season”. It was hard work but I loved every minute of it. I was fortunate in that Pam Kilborn (Ryan) was also trained by Henri and, although she was essentially a hurdler, she was also a sprinter. We were able to help one another and formed a friendship that we still retain.

Judy’s record JUDY Pollock (nee Amoore) was one of Australia’s finest female athletes, being selected for three Olympics. She first came to attention in 1964 when she won a bronze medal in the 400 metres behind Betty Cuthbert and English runner Ann Packer. Over the next few years Judy set world records in the 440 yards (1965), 800 metres (1967) and 880 yards (1967), but retired due to pregnancy in 1968. It was during these peak years that she attended the Commonwealth Games in Jamaica in 1966, winning a gold medal in the 440 yards and silver in the 880 yards. Judy made a comeback in 1971 and ran some of her best times to be selected for the 1972 Olympics at Munich. There she was track and field captain, but was unable to compete due to injuries. In 1976, following a second retirement for family reasons, Judy made another comeback and at 36 was selected for the Montreal Olympic Games. By now she had shifted her focus to the 800 and 1500 metres and had earned her selection after winning the 1500 metres at the Australian National Championships and running second to Charlene Rendina over 800 metres. Although she broke two minutes in her heat in the 800 metres, success at these distances eluded Judy at Montreal. Southern Peninsula News 26 July 2012

What more can a poor homeboy do? By Stuart McCullough I’VE never really been one for alternative medicine. For me, the alternative to medicine was always to do nothing. But recent reports that some are calling for alternative medicine subjects to be banished from vocational degrees have caused something of a stir. In particular, the naysayers seem to have homeopathy firmly in their sights. This, of course, is the most outrageous turn of events since leeches were outlawed. It is deeply unfair and must be resisted at all costs. Indeed, I ask, what’s next? Bans on Extrasensory perception (ESP)? Next they’ll be telling us that spoon-bending does nothing to cure the common cold. Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture, the frame it’s in and even the wall its hanging on. For even if science suggests otherwise; that spoon-bending teaches miscreant cutlery a thing or two about who’s the boss is beyond dispute. But while I’m concerned for many of the alternative medicines, I am especially worried for homeopathy. For those unfamiliar with it, homeopathy involves the therapeutic use of rap music. It’s long been considered that bringing the rhyme is good for a whole host of ailments. Inventive wordplay does more than just improve your vocabulary – it is good for the soul. But if homeopathy is outlawed, tens if not dozens of homeboys will no longer have anything to do.

Secretly, I wish I was a homeboy – I love almost everything about the culture. Beyond the rhythm and rhyme, there’s also the baggy pants that are always at risk of careening onwards towards the ankle. It takes courage to wear your trousers at half-mast with your Reg Grundy’s on display. While some may regard

the flouting of underpants as proof of a courageous, devil-may-care attitude, I respect it for its sheer, unadulterated stupidity. For better or for worse, I have spent much of my life ensuring that my undergarments remain hidden from public view. There was a brief exception to this in high school when I briefly took to leaping the railing outside the year 10 home room while wearing shorts, oblivious to the fact that I was causing my classmates to cop an eyeful. But I learnt from that mistake and have avoided wearing shorts and leaping over balustrades – either separately or in combination – ever since. But it’s not just the beats and the rhyming and the low-riding pants – there’s also the hats. I am in awe of the way they perch unevenly like drunken budgerigars atop the heads of homeboys as the loll down the street. Their commitment to the hat is to

Sound way to relax after hard day’s night THE Beatles tribute band Rubber Soul plays the Portsea Hotel next month. Rubber Soul, based in Melbourne, has toured nationally and internationally since forming in early 2001 with the aim of recreating the look and sound of The Beatles’ music live to preserve the original enthusiasm, excitement and spirit of the songs. The arrangements have been

painstakingly reproduced. Every note and harmony is faithful to the original. The members of Rubber Soul have had a long association with each other and a wealth of experience in the music business. All have played together in various original and cover outfits over many years. Each member has been a lifelong fan of The Beatles

and it’s from that perspective Rubber Soul has sought to bring a totally authentic Beatles experience to the legions of Beatles fans everywhere. Rubber Soul is live at the Portsea Hotel on Friday 17 August. Doors open at 6pm and the show starts at 8pm. Tickets are available on the net at portseahotel.com.au, from hotel reception or phone 5984 2213.

be admired. It is something of an irony that at a time when the sun is more dangerous than ever, hats have fallen out of fashion. Unless, of course, you’re a homeboy. Because any homeboy worth his salt, pepper and paprika would never leave the house without a cap sitting crookedly on his homeboy melon. That someone should stand up for the humble hat gives hope that they may one day return from fashion’s distant fringe. Homeboys should be proud of their stance on hats and are entitled to walk tall. When I think about it, the way homeboys walk down the street is, of itself, a thing of splendour. You can tell a lot by the way a person walks. In the case of the Bee Gees, the way they plonked one foot in front of the other said they were each “a woman’s man”. If you consider the clothes they were wearing and the altitude of their voices, such a description could conceivably have an alternate meaning. In the case of chronic bike riders, they tend to have a stride that suggests they have just left a horse tethered at the doorstep, while dancers tend to walk on their toes. Homeboys, however, have a gait that is one part 1970s pimp (complete with fur-trimmed hat and a pet jaguar named Cocheese) with the balance devoted to keeping their pants aloft. You’ve really got to hand it to them. Homeboys have it all over us mere mortals when it comes to hand gestures. Some cultures are accused of talking with their hands.

Personally, my own repertoire is limited to two gestures only, and they both mean pretty much the same thing. It’s different with hip-hop. Homeboys have a veritable arsenal of hand sculptures at their disposal; their digits bent like the teeth of an abused hairbrush, the slightest variation altering the meaning in a manner invisible to all but those familiar with hip-hop. All this is now at risk. For decades now, rap music has been on the receiving end of, well, a bum rap. If they scrub out homeopathy, there’s simply no telling where they’ll stop. Will punks loose acupuncture too? The mind boggles. And while it’s common for such disagreements to be described as a “battle of words”, when it comes to homeboys that’s exactly the kind of throwdown they prefer. Perhaps there’s hope after all. As for me, I will do more than just declare my support – I will show it. Accordingly, I have selected my baggiest pair of pants and they are currently hovering somewhere between my hips and my knees. There is a cap, too, balancing on top of my skull. Even now I can barely type as I throw a series of mystifying and random hand gestures into the air. It feels good. Sometimes you must do more than talk the talk – you must also walk the walk. I only hope that I don’t trip over my pants. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance By Gary Turner his first album with the band, which produced a top 10 US hit Fool to Cry. Although The Rolling Stones remained popular during the first half of the 1970s, music critics had grown increasingly dismissive of the band’s output, and record sales failed to meet expectations. This changed in 1978 after the band released Some Girls, which included the hit singles Some Girls, Miss You and Beast of Burden. I was a lucky recipient of the limited edition reissue of Some Girls (Universal) a few years ago. It had 12 previously unreleased tracks and a 24-page booklet. The bonus tracks included Claudine, No Spare Parts, Petrol Blues, Tallahassee Lassie, and You Win Again. The Stones have sold more than 200 million records, but in recent years much of their income has come from touring. The last tour between 2005-07 earned them more than $500 million. www.rollingstones.com

Top 10 albums

IT’S only rock ’n’ roll, but the Rolling Stones made it. At a London party this month, the band celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first performance. The band played for the first time at the Marquee Club billed as The Rollin’ Stones on 12 July 1962. Dubbed the greatest rock ’n’ roll band in the world, the Stones established their reputation through live performances as well as an extensive catalogue of classic albums. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met at primary school and formed the first Rolling Stones line-up with bass guitarist Dick Taylor and drummer

Tony Chapman in 1962. Taylor left months later and was replaced by Bill Wyman and the following year Charlie Watts replaced Tony Chapman. Ron Wood joined in 1975. The band’s first single, a cover of Chuck Berry’s Come On, was released in 1963 and was a big hit. Soon the band became one of the world’s biggest rock acts, rivalled only by The Beatles. The Stones’ first album, mostly covers, topped the United Kingdom charts in 1964 and by mid-year the band was touring the United States for the first time. The second album was recorded in

the US and gave the band a No 1 hit, I Can’t Get No Satisfaction (1965). The Stones started to get recognition for their original material and the album Beggars Banquet gave them the hit single Jumpin’ Jack Flash. Brian Jones was involved in Beggars Banquet, but quit the band in 1969 and was found dead in his swimming pool at Cotchford Manor from the combined effects of alcohol and barbiturates, which heightened a probable asthma attack when he went for a swim. It was said friend and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page found him and tried to revive him. Jones was 27.

Two days later his replacement Mick Taylor made his debut with the band at a free concert at Hyde Park in London. The band’s last album of the Sixties was Let It Bleed, which featured Gimme Shelter, one of their greatest rock recordings; it featured the voice of Merry Clayton. Many great albums followed including the live Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! (1970), Sticky Fingers (1971) and Exile on Main Street (1972), which contained the hit single Tumbling Dice. The 1976 album Black and Blue featured Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood,

such a thing as a relationship counsellor for single females? I fancy that. Fifty dollars an hour including coffee and carrot cake? Keep cash records for Centrelink? *** IS television culture? I read where Richmond has a vibrant culture. I watch the news, documentaries and Collingwood if they win. I tape my shows and see no point in watching a Magpie defeat. I watched Silk on recommendation. Too slow, but the message of a violent teenager from a poor background getting eight years and, in like cicumstances, a rich boy getting 100 days community service. Not to worry, it’s only drama. It’s not, you know. This happens in our courts on a daily basis. Always has. A law for the rich and a law for the poor. So how does this line up with the impartiality of judges and magistrates? What impartiality? Never was, never will be. *** WHY do local newspapers give space to real estate promo nonsense? It’s obviously about selling advertising, but it’s surely misleading. Prices will rise, all looking forward to the new freeway, no traffic lights all the way to Rosebud; a world of pleasure with the beach at your door? Come on buddies! I live in Rye; gridlock in summer. Can’t get in or out, stock up at

Woolworths; forget infrastructure, I’m not sure what it means anyway. Imagine the queue at Point Nepean Rd and Truemans Rd lights December through March when the new freeway opens. The Age goes on about editorial independence at the same time as printing promos about the healthy property market. Move to Dromana? *** YES, I know, most of us are against the boat people. But really, about 15,000 in five years is no big deal. Forget offshore processing, do it here; humane and so much cheaper, not to mention the loss of our reputation under the existing system. Some countries have arrivals in the 50,000 plus category over the same period. One of them is Greece; poor buggers. It hurts me to agree with sexy Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young, but I do. Is that sexist? Oops, sorry, but as a male I’m not shielded from life’s indoctrinations. We went through all this with the Italians, Greeks and Vietnamese. Embrace them, accept them, and while we are about it, accept the Aborigines. No, yes? Just a thought. *** THOSE high and mighty Olympic officials are at it again in their neverending grasp for power. Wasn’t Dawn Fraser enough? Control freaks have and will be with us forever. No Stil-

nox, Rohypnol or Mogadon, calling it a vicious cycle of addiction, all surely useful if used properly. The addiction lies clearly with those control freaks. Russell and Lauren Mark sharing accommodation? Reverse discrimination against heterosexuals rubbish? No, a tick for the officials in this case. *** I LOVED the quote of our soon-to-beerstwhile mayor Cr Frank Martin: “Art and culture is more than just providing entertainment. Within a community it can foster creativity, inspiration and innovation”. Ha, ha. A panel to advise the shire on cultural policy and development priorities. Yeah, what? Low-cost, community-based music festivals to create a more liveable community? Maybe like Richmond – a vibrant community? How exciting is all that, my friends? By the way, who is going to be on this mysterious panel? For all you culture vultures, try listening to RPP FM 98.7 Sundays at 11am, Wednesdays midday. You too, Frank. *** SO let me get this right: the two most important happenings were front page news on The Age dated 5 July.

A Grain of Salt IT’S the time of year when I have little to say, but being unspoiled by failure I shall press on. Silence is golden, said poet Thomas Carlyle, but this does not help write my column. Something nice? George Kokkinos does a fantastic job selling his sausages and onions in bread. If I don’t come across him at Rye I spot him at Chelsea, always with a smile and, of course, giving heaps of money to his favourite charities. Top man is George. I feel better, for now. Press on. Winter. Yuk. *** HOW did I survive the 1950s? The absolute hell I went through. No financial counsellors back then. I had a bank book, the philosophy being earning a dollar and spending 99 cents equals happiness; spend $1.01, disaster. Marriage counsellors, settlements? You’re kidding. No psychologists, apparently experts in human behaviour, helping people to handle stress and family problems; very funny. Psychiatrists were a rare breed, sort of like priests. The only psychiatrist I ever knew was in the movie Kings Row where Ronald Reagan had his legs chopped off. But counsellors (with doubtful minimum training or qualifications) are a different breed, out of the woodwork so to speak. Career, Christian, credit, existential, emotional, crisis, grief, marriage – the list goes on. Is there

Blues sting Somie, big wins for Buds and Rye NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt HASTINGS had to work hard to shake off a persistent Somerville on Saturday in MPNFL Nepean Division football. It was a split round with only three games in Nepean. In the other matches, Rosebud ended Red Hill’s season, while Rye recorded a fantastic victory despite missing two of its stars. Hastings coach Glenn Michie was pleased with his side’s 71-point victory over the Eagles. At quarter time, the Blues trailed by nine points, but led by 13 points at half-time. In the third quarter, the Blues lifted and in the last quarter booted 10 goals to three to record a very comfortable victory. Michie said games against sides with nothing to lose at this stage of the year were always dangerous. “It’s been a tough year for Somerville, but they are still very dangerous on paper and we were aware of this,” Michie said. “They had seven or eight kids in

their side, too, and they have no fear of the opposition. “For under-18 players coming in, they have no idea who the good players are and they just play their hearts out. “That’s exactly what Somerville’s kids did for three quarters. We were just able to break their backs a little in the last and the floodgates opened for us.” Dylan Hand, Andrew Kiely, Luke Hewitt and Kyle Pinto all booted four goals each for the Blues. “It was good to get an even spread once again,” Michie said. “We’d all love Justin Van Unen (Rye’s full forward, who has 93 goals) in our side, but to be honest, I’d rather get a more even spread from our forwards. “Hewitt was great. He is one of the first picked every week because he provides the team with such versatility. He could do anything as a player, in any position. On Saturday we used him as a permanent forward and he did his job for us.” Richy Vandenham is another player

who has returned to the side in recent weeks and is playing an important role for the Blues. “Richy’s in good form at the right time. He missed the first two finals last season and played in the preliminary and grand finals. He’s making his run at the right time again,” Michie said. The Blues have now won four on the trot and enter the bye with great confidence. They finish the season with three tough games, two of which are at home against the Bombers and Dromana. The Blues also play Rye at Rye. Paul Rogasch was again a tower of strength for the Blues on Saturday, as was Mick Agnello. Rowen Hogenbirk was outstanding for the Eagles, as was Will Jolley and Jed Sutton. Luke Rowe also finished with a couple of goals. Rosebud played champagne football to outclass Red Hill by 69 points. In a mini-final, the Buds were beaten for only 10 minutes early in the second quarter before completely dominating the home side. Brenton Davidge booted six goals

and Greg Bentley five, and Jamie Clarke finished the afternoon with four majors. Bentley dominated through the middle of the ground and was extremely dangerous in attack. He could have quite easily finished with eight or nine. Daniel Giarusso and Ryan Spooner were all class through the middle by hand and foot, Brenton Payne typically won heaps of hard ball, and Cade Egan was one of the best on the ground across half-back. Jack Jarman was also impressive across four quarters. The only downside of the match for Rosebud was the report of Ben Shultz. Joe Krieger was easily Red Hill’s best player, providing enormous run from half-back and continually trying to create something for his team. The large majority of his teammates looked scared too do something wrong. Chris Farmer battled hard in the ruck, Andrew Gilmour was used in a variety of positions and looked dangerous early in attack with two goals, and Josh and Jake Mold also never stopped trying. The Buds played as well as any team

we’ve seen in Nepean Division this season. Rosebud is up and going at the right time of the year and has all the weapons to make this finals series very interesting. They sit in fifth place and may cause some carnage should they make it. Red Hill is now out of the finals equation. Even without Rhett Sutton and Justin Van Unen on Victorian duties, Rye was able to boot 22 goals and smash Tyabb to the tune of 99 points. Ben Holmes booted six, Lyle House four and Jai Lloyd three as the Demons kicked 12 goals in the opening half and another 10 in the second hour. Sam Smith continued his dominance through the middle, Adam Kirkwood was again outstanding, Grant Wilson performed well in the ruck, and Andrew Dean ran and created all afternoon. It wasn’t a great day for the Yabbies. Scott Pickergill and Ryan Jones tried hard, and Timmy McGrath had a good game.

Dogs eye five as Redlegs clip Eagles PENINSULA DIVISION By Toe Punt MORNINGTON is just one game out of the MPNFL Peninsula Division top five after recording a sensational victory over the struggling Chelsea on Saturday. The Doggies are now eyeing off a place in the finals series and have high expectations. While the top three places are sewn up by Frankston YCW, Mt Eliza and Karingal, a battle looms for fourth and fifth. Chelsea (28 points) is a game clear in fourth position, while

Bonbeach (24 points) has moved into fifth place after a strong victory over Langwarrin. Seaford has dropped out of the top five and is now equal with Mornington on 20 points. There are five games left in the season. Chelsea faces Bonbeach this weekend in what will be a season-defining game. If the Seagulls can complete a form reversal and beat the Sharks, they can expect to play finals. They face Mt Eliza, Seaford, Karingal and Langwarrin in the final four games.

After Chelsea, Bonbeach faces just one side in the top five on the way home (Frankston YCW). Seaford plays Langwarrin, Pines, Chelsea, YCW and EdAsp in the final five games. The Doggies tackle YCW, Edi-Asp, Karingal, Langwarrin and Bonbeach in the last five games. Current form suggests that Bonbeach and Seaford will play finals, leaving Chelsea outside the top five. However, Mornington coach Josh Beard has not ruled out finals for his team.

“While we’re in the mix for finals, and we currently are, they have to be our aim,” Beard said. “There’s no point being in the finals’ hunt and not having them as a realistic goal. “Our form against Chelsea was fantastic on Saturday and it would have stacked up against any side.” Mornington led all afternoon to convincing beat Chelsea by 45 points. It was a mini-final for Chelsea, but other than a convincing first quarter, the Seagulls couldn’t match the intensity of the Doggies. Beard said it was his side’s first four-quarter effort for the season. “We usually have lapses in concentration at certain stages of matches, but on Saturday, we were fantastic in all four quarters,” Beard said. “We lost Byron Holt with the flu prior to the game, which could have hurt us because a lot of our planning was done around Byron playing in the ruck. “However, young Michael Altenkirch came in and did a sensational job. “Matt Lacey was terrific in his second senior game, Byron Murphy had a hand in six of our goals and Scott Matthews led us well and nullified Scott McLeod.

“Usually before a big club function [Mornington had its mid-season ball], we play poorly, but on Saturday, they played great footy and were able to really enjoy the ball. “I couldn’t have been happier with the way the boys performed. Now we need to make sure we back it up this weekend against the best opposition.” Bonbeach moved into the top five with a strong fourquarter effort versus Langwarrin. The Sharks led at every change and although the Kangas wouldn’t go away, the visitors still recorded a 34-point win. Patty Liston booted three and skipper Daniel Smith was one of the best on the ground for the Sharks, and Mark Tyrell and Anthony Hogan continued their sensational form. Aaron Shaw finished with five and Nathan Pike three for the Kangas. Shane Urbans and Daniel Wehner continued their impressive seasons. Mt Eliza maintained its good run with a 44-point win over Edithvale-Aspendale. The Redlegs had 34 scoring shots to 20 with Scott Lockwood booting five and Sam Wettenhall continuing his swinging roles, this time playing forward and converting three. Ben Landry and Justin Grant were also fine perform-

ers for the winners. Adam Lello was the chief contributor for the Eagles up front with three, and Mark Mullins, Steve Mannix and Rob Snashall shared the votes. Karingal was able to turn around its early-season loss to Seaford by recording a convincing victory on Saturday. The Bulls jumped out of the blocks, led by three goals at quarter time and finished with a 40-point win. Chris Hay kicked four goals while Cal Dixon and Dan Noble finished with two each. Steve Charalambous was again among the Bulls’ best, as was James Tyquin. David Hirst rarely plays a bad game and was at his best on Saturday. Michael Kraska booted five and was Seaford’s best, and Luke Davenport and Kieran Shaw also worked hard. Frankston YCW had 30 shots at goal against Pines and recorded a 53-point victory. Ben Tellis finished with four in a near best-on-ground performance, and Rhys Johnson and Ricky Morris with three goals were outstanding. Guy Hendry booted five for the Pythons, and Jamie Messina, Chris Guganovic and the evergreen Steve Ryan (two goals) were also among Pines’ better players.

Australian Country Football championships on the weekend. Van Unen, who has booted 93 goals for Rye, played deep in the forward line and across half-forward in his four matches in the championships. While he did not kick a bag, he certainly made his presence felt and got on the scoreboard in all matches. JV would like nothing

better than bringing up his ton against old foe Sorrento this weekend. However, he told the RPP Footy Show last Saturday morning that it’s team success he is after. “It’s nice kicking a goal, but it’s all about the winning,” he said.

No old age for Michie HASTINGS coach Glenn Michie had a chuckle to himself when he read The News last week. He told the newspaper last week in jest that his latest contract would probably see out his career, saying that he wouldn’t play on until he was 40 like Guy Stringer. We may have left out the bit about Stringer being 40 and insinuated that Michie would be 40 at the end of his 2014 contract. Not true; “Mouse” is only 31 and although he says his body sometimes feels older than 40, he looked forward to celebrating the milestone long after his footy career ended. Also on Michie, he will be operated on this week to remove the pins in his hand and expects to return to the Blues for the Dromana game.
