BEAT THE PEAK TO BRING ROAD DEATHS DOWN! Keep Sunday 8th November free so you can ‘beat the peak to bring road deaths down’. Join more than 2,000 people as they tackle The Arthurs Seat Challenge, a 6.7km sea to summit fun-run starting at the Rosebud Pier and ďŹ nishing at the top of Arthurs Seat, Seawinds Gardens. The Arthurs Seat Challenge is a renowned local event, held at one of the most iconic locations on the Mornington Peninsula. The Challenge aims to promote the proďŹ le of Fit2Drive (F2D), a best practice road safety education program with event proceeds supporting the implementation of the program at secondary schools across the Mornington Peninsula, Westernport and Frankston areas.

According to the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), in 2014, 21 per cent of drivers killed were aged between 18 and 25 years, however, this age group represents only around 14 per cent of Victorian licence holders. Although this is the lowest proportion of young drivers killed since 1987 (down from 110 deaths to 24), the fact still remains that our young people are 30 times more likely to crash when they start driving on their P-plates. Research also shows that the majority of these incidents are preventable.

Young drivers are inexperienced and often make poor decisions, with some crashes attributed to high risk factors such as speed, alcohol and distractions linked to the presence of multiple passengers. In comparison to more experienced drivers, 18-25 year olds are three times more likely to be killed in a car crash. One way to change this is to provide good practice and relevant road safety education in schools.

F2D is a distinctive road safety program that focuses on changing attitudes and behaviours in Year 11 students with trained university undergraduates in a half-day program to help young local drivers and passengers develop strategies to deal with risky situations. Originally established for schools in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula area, F2D is now delivered to more than 200 secondary education providers across Victoria. The F2D program is run with the support of many community groups, the TAC, Victoria Police, VicRoads, RACV and the Department of Education and Training, and reaches some 30,000 young people annually, 4,000 of whom come from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

The program emulates the philosophy that it is essential to enable and encourage young people to explore and accept challenges but also to take ownership and responsibility for their own and their peers’ safety. At the heart of F2D is the Arthurs Seat Challenge, which is an opportunity for schools, families and the local community to rally together and raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes in the hope we can alleviate the pain road trauma causes schools and local communities.

This year we invite you to ‘run UP the hill to bring road deaths DOWN’, in direct support of the TAC’s Safer P-Plater Campaign ‘getting through the red’.

Registrations are now open at www.arthursseatchallenge. com.au and you can follow us on Facebook www. facebook.com/ArthursSeatChallenge.

Elly Jackson Junior Female Champion 2014

Sea to Summit Success in 2015 Last year’s race was one for breaking records, with more than 2000 participants taking part in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date.

The course of 6.7km started at the Rosebud Jetty and finished at the summit of Arthurs Seat at Seawinds Gardens. Event Ambassador and Commonwealth Games Marathon Runner, Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course. Funds raised from the success of the 2014 event will provide even greater support to schools in meeting the cost of every Fit 2 Drive workshop held at all secondary schools on the Mornington Peninsula, Westernport and Frankston areas for the coming year.

The first runner over the line was Craig Appleby, our new record holder, glided across the line in 25 minutes and 15 seconds. Coming in second was Cameron Hall followed by Nathan Barry, who led the pack early in the race to snaffle third place. Our first female placegetter Rebecca Rosel looked strong as she charged up the hill, crossing the line with a smile and a time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Twins, Elly and Sarah Jackson took second and third place for the women’s overall with times of 30 minutes 30 seconds and 30 minutes 59 seconds respectively, which also won them first and second place Junior Females. Other noteworthy efforts include Liam Hemingway our Under 18 Male Champion, followed closely by Brodie Lynch who again took out the title of Under 15 Male Champion.

The weather was perfect for running or walking up the steep summit, which at its peak has a whopping 9.5% gradient and the climb itself is over 3km. Our long-time supporters, parliamentarians Mr Greg Hunt and Mr Martin Dixon even found themselves running PBs! Our major sponsors all had teams participating with large contingents from Bluescope Steel, Bendigo Bank, and Nicholas Lynch Real Estate who took out the title for Largest Community Team with over 200 in their ranks, which also helped them clinch the trophy for Fastest Team up the mountain. The School Group Winners were Elisabeth Murdoch College.

Competitors were red-faced and at times, out of breath, but there was a great sense of comradery and sportsmanship on show, even between those more serious and competitive runners. Generous help from our volunteer support crew was also invaluable and we thank our local schools and organisations like Sorrento SES and Rotary, Langwarrin Men’s Shed and the Southern Peninsula Classic and Historic Car Club for their tireless help on race day. The Arthurs Seat Challenge is a wonderful annual event, especially for families, schools and sporting groups to come together and raise community awareness about the overrepresentation of young people in road crashes. We look forward to 2015 and hope to see even more people running UP the hill to bring road deaths DOWN. Registrations are now open at www.arthursseatchallenge.com.au

Kinitted gifts for Nepal A YOUNG girl who suggested her family help raise money for victims of the Nepalese earthquake is thrilled with the result.

Isabelle Stanley, 7, was “overwhelmed” by the $175 earned selling knitted scarves, mittens and beanies at Saturday’s Hastings Community Art and Craft Market.

Her mum, Kerry Sorenson, had earlier knitted herself and Isabelle matching scarves when her daughter, who attends Crib Point Primary School, said to her: “Let’s knit some more, sell them, and send the money to Nepal.”

The idea escalated and with help from family, friends, and knitters from local churches, about 70 scarves of all colours, shapes and sizes were sold. The money will go to Nepal via TEARS Australia.

Ms Sorenson said Isabelle was thrilled with the amount raised. “She said ‘wow’; she was overwhelmed.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) she is doing a presentation at school to tell the class about the project. She was stoked.”

Any remaining scarves, mittens and beanies will be sold at Langwarrin craft market on Saturday 11 July, at the school, or through Ms Sorenson on 0424 375 006.

Isabelle’s grandmother June Coster has another reason to be proud: “When my daughter [Kerry] gave me some scarves my four-year-old grandson, Zayne, asked me why I had them. I explained about the earthquakes and how people had nowhere to live and not much food; that they had lost everything, and he said he had some money in his money box at home and to send it to them so they can buy some food.

“I am a grandmother who is very proud of her grandchildren.”

Aged care knock back Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A 223-UNIT aged care centre proposed for Graf Rd, Somerville, has been knocked back by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s planning department.

The applicant, CBG Architects, has 60 days to appeal the decision to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tri-

bunal. CBG Architects is understood to be acting on behalf of SomerCare.

Aged care provider SomerCare already has what it terms “the first resort in aged care on the Mornington Peninsula” – a 130-bed facility, nearby in Graf Rd, Somerville.

The new, larger aged care centre was planned for a 3.2 hectare site fronting Graf and Eramosa West roads, on the western edge of the town’s commer-

The development was to be built in five stages “in line with market demand”, according to CBG Architects, who said the property “could be defined as a strategic redevelopment site as defined in the shire planning scheme”.

The proposal “represents an appropriate development outcome for the site” supported by Clause 16 of the state planning policy framework.

Shire statutory planning manager Niall Sheehy wrote to objectors and the applicant on Friday to say officers had refused the application.

“Having assessed the planning application against the requirements of the planning scheme and having considered the concerns of objectors, council resolved to refuse the planning application on a number of grounds,” he said.

Western Port News 23 June 2015

MP claims Labor plans ‘toxic dump’ at Hastings Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess is predicting a dark future for Hastings because of the state government’s decision to increasingly use Western Port as a “bulk” port.

The scaled-down Port of Hastings Development Authority has swung its focus from preparing for a container port to promoting its use for bulk products, such as LNG (liquefied natural gas), petroleum products and brown coal.

Hastings is already used to import and export petroleum and gas products and Mr Burgess accuses the government of having “secret plans” that will lead to Western Port being “a toxic dumping ground”, damaging lifestyles and cutting property values Ports Minister Luke Donnellan last month said he expects the PoHDA “to chase opportunities in bulk to continue to grow the port down there”.

“There are enormous opportunities, obviously, in relation to storage of petroleum, because we are importing so much petroleum now,” Mr Donnellan told the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee on 22 May. “I would also like to see [the PoHDA] look at chasing down business in the energy sector, because the Latrobe Valley has enormous brown coal deposits, gas and so forth.

“I would really like to see the port of Hastings grow very quickly, because potentially that is the appropriate port to bring things in and out of. That is really where we are up to with the port of Hastings.”

Mr Donnellan said there was no need to rush into making a decision on where to a new container port as “we probably would not need a second port until about 2045, maybe beyond”.

He said Infrastructure Victoria – to be established next year – would investigate if Bay West, in Port Phillip, or Hastings was the best site for a second port “The west has enormous advantages in relation to regional rail and major highways, whereas Hastings has enormous advantage in relation to a deep sea port. But the problem with Hastings is it does not have the road and the rail links,” he said.

“I do not think either particular option is easy. I think we really need a thorough and rigorous analysis by Infrastructure Victoria — by economists, transport planners and the like — to actually get it right.

“I think we need to, as much as we can, put it into an independent entity to do it, not to put it into the hands of politicians.”

With Hasting effectively out of the picture for a container port for at least a further 30 years, Mr Burgess has accused the state government of having

“secret plans” for Hastings.

“Mr Donnellan stated that Labor will use the Port of Hastings for shipping brown coal,” Mr Burgess has told The News.

He says the brown coal will be piped as slurry to a “drying plant” at Hastings.

Mr Burgess said the coal industry had unsuccessfully “pushed and pushed” for the previous Liberal/National government to back the project.

“We said no, but I don’t think people understand what bulk means,” he said.

“There was no mention of Labor’s plan to use Western Port as a toxic dumping ground during the election.

“The Brumby government planned to turn Hastings into a bulk port for coal, bitumen and urea and, when it lost government, it had already given Boral the go ahead to build a bitumen plant on the foreshore at Crib Point.”

Mr Burgess said the bitumen plant “was only stopped when the Coalition was elected in November 2010”.

The decision to not go ahead with a container port at Hastings meant “many thousands of jobs” had been lost to the area.

“If Labor succeeds in turning Western Port into its toxic dumping ground, our local amenity and life style will be permanently damaged, property values will be slashed, businesses will be ruined and tourists will turn away from our part of the peninsula in their droves.”

Making a point: Hastings MP Neale Burgess, left, and former ports minister David Hodgett last week accused the labor state government of abandonning a container port in favour of bringing “toxic” industries to Hastings. Picture: Gary Sissons

Scam alert CONSUMER Affairs Victoria has urged people to know about common scams used to con the unwary.

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission statistics show Victorians last year lost just under $20.5 million to scammers.

Fake bank notes, sham refunds and bogus lottery prizes are among the top scams used to tempt unwary targets to part with their cash for no return.

A trend in recent months involves the “refund” scam which often involves the con artist offering large sums of money in exchange for an upfront payment.

Scammers pretend to be from a bank, organisation or government department, such as the Australian Tax Office, to fool people into paying money or providing their bank details.

There have been more than 400 complaints about money transfer scams to Consumer Affairs Victoria in the past 12 months.

The end of the financial year is considered to be a peak time of year to target people lodging their tax returns. Consumer Affairs Minister Jane Garrett said con artists trick honest people into giving up their hard earned money.

“People need to be on guard, especially during tax time, when scammers come out of the woodwork pretending they are from the Australian Tax Office, and claiming you’ll get a tax refund if you pay a fee,” she said.

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Consumer Affairs Victoria said people should always be wary of unsolicited emails, phone calls or letters saying they have unclaimed funds, won prizes or are owed money.

Nocturnal handiwork: Hellen Coy and Malcolm Nicholson assemble a sleeping box for native animals during a school camp at Somers.

Practical advice good news for wildlife BUILDING bat boxes and sugar glider boxes was constructive fun for those attending Somers School Camp last week. They were helped by Paul Bertuch, of Eco-Agri, who teaches ecological and sustainable studies on the Mornington Peninsula.

“Paul’s knowledge is immense and he has developed and redesigned his boxes based on years of research and evidence findings,” camp organiser Carmel McInneny said.

“His advice is practical and knowledge-based and he is happy to continue to advise us as we finish more

boxes and place and monitor them in the environment. He is a valuable reference for the nocturnal enclosure as he has expertise in bandicoots.”

Assisting Mr Bertuch were Jenny Mann and Caz Kertford, of hardware chain Bunnings’ Sustainability Community team, who support these ecological programs by providing equipment and tools.

His next presentation will be on ringtail and brush tail possum habitat needs during the Residential Outdoor State Schools’ Association meeting at Somers School Camp next May.

Footy board called on to resign Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly team@mpnews.com.au NEPEAN League presidents have called for the immediate resignation of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League board.

Sorrento Football Club president Garry Woodhams sent an email on behalf of all Nepean league clubs to MPNFL Board chairman Stuart Gilchrist last Friday afternoon (19 June), together with a notice of no confidence, which was signed by 11 of the 12 Nepean League clubs.

Somerville abstained from the vote, given recent events over the Player Points System (PPS) debacle (‘Somerville ‘misled’, results in doubt’, The News 9/6/15).

Presidents and delegates of all clubs of the Nepean League met on 15 June at Red Hill Football Club.

According to Woodham’s email, the purpose of the meeting was to provide the Nepean clubs with an open forum, free of interference, in which to discuss their concerns with the current and future direction of the MPNFL. The MPNFL board and administrators were not invited to the meeting and some made calls to club representatives before and after the meeting to try to find out what was happening.

At the meeting, there was a unanimous indication by show of hands that all clubs have lost confidence in the MPNFL board and administration.

According to Woodhams’ email, “this erosion of confidence stems from an ever growing list of administrative failings over the last 24 months and is

not confined to recent issues alone”.

One club source said there was no doubt the total loss of confidence is a result of the recent incompetence shown by the MPNFL Board and Administration over their handling of the PPS saga with Somerville FC. “The failure of the MPNFL Board to address the concerns of clubs and to manage and perform the administration appropriately has led to the clubs seeking recourse by taking matters into their own hands,” Woodhams wrote.

“On behalf of the Nepean clubs and in accordance with the signed notices, I hereby give notice of our request for the immediate resignation of the MPNFL Directors – at which time the clubs will ask the AFL South East Commission to take the following steps:  Commissioners from AFL SE Commission to fill the casual vacancies until the next AGM in a caretaker capacity until at least the holding of the next Annual General Meeting of the MPNFL.  Conduct a review into the most appropriate governance structure for the NFNL.  Conduct a review of the most appropriate administration structure for the NFNL  Assess and report on the current business practices of the MPNFL including a full audit.  Undertake a Rules and By-Law review.  Assess the relationship status with all stakeholders in the region.

“As stated in the notice of no confidence, should the MPNFL Board reject this notice and the conditions set out in

Duty bound: AFL South East general manager Jeremy Bourke says the governing body will help clubs if the MPNFL board resigns.

the notice, the affiliated clubs will be left with no option other than to act in accordance with the MPNFL Constitution and seek a Special General Meeting.

“We appeal the MPNFL Board to abide by the mandate of the clubs as evidenced by the attached notices and to abstain from engaging in an elongated process of which the outcome is certain. The clubs also require a written response from the MPNFL board within seven days of this email and any attempt to obfuscate and delay the timeframe will not be accepted,” Woodhams wrote.

Peninsula League clubs will meet on Monday night to discuss broader issues. However, the Nepean League’s recent actions are expected to be high on their agenda.

It is believed that at least seven of the 10 Peninsula League clubs support Nepean League’s actions and will vote accordingly when asked to.

Collectively, the clubs need a 75 per cent majority to execute the notice of

no confidence. The votes of six of the peninsula clubs will give them the 75 per cent.

AFL South East general manager Jeremy Bourke said the regional board had no role to play in the decision of the Nepean League clubs to issue the Notice of No Confidence.

“Similar to Casey Cardinia League last year, the Nepean League clubs have come together and stated that they are seeking a change in their best interests. That’s the catalyst for their actions,” Bourke said.

“There hasn’t been an option for clubs in the past (to challenge the board and administration), so it’s been a difficult process for them to do anything.

“Football people have always had the best interests of their own club at hand and doing anything outside of this has been extremely difficult for them.

Their priorities are understandably their own clubs, not trying to address the higher issues.

“AFL South East played no role in the clubs making this decision. They (Nepean and Peninsula League clubs) came to us to ask what level of support we could provide. As the governing body in the region for AFL football, it was our duty to provide them a direction and then to provide support to assist in the outcomes. If the clubs move a notice of no confidence, it’s our duty to provide caretaker governance and to address the situation.

“It’s our responsibility to facilitate the most appropriate structure moving forward, determine who is best to fill the roles required to administer the league and give advice on the best

course of action for the clubs moving forward. The MPNFL is one of the proudest football competitions in Australia and we absolutely want to preserve that,” Bourke said.

Bourke said the clubs would not lose their identity as clubs and as a league, under the guidance of the AFL. “Clubs won’t lose their independence in the slightest. It’s important that all leagues have individual boards. It’s important our leagues maintain their identity, their history.

“However, it’s also important that they have a selection of board members who are focused on the needs of the league. It’s also important that they interconnect with a greater structure that provides some strategic direction for the clubs and their league.

“This will be a consultative process and all stakeholders will have an opportunity to influence the decisions that are made. The aim of regional governance is to bring all administration together and provide more effective and efficient structures to meet the needs of clubs and leagues.

“When you do that there are savings to be made. You no longer have two people from two leagues doing the same job. Given this, there will be a cost saving for the clubs.”

Nepean League will stand alone if peninsula clubs do not support the move but it is expected that the majority of Peninsula League clubs will support the Nepean League stance.

Police seek help with highway robbery POLICE are appealing for help from the public after an armed robbery at a service station in Mornington on Sunday 7 June.

Frankston Embona Task Force detectives have been told a man brandishing a knife entered the service station on Moorooduc Highway just after 9pm. He demanded the contents of the till from the lone attendant before taking cash.

The man then ran from the store. He is described as Caucasian, about 40 years old, 183cm tall and with a medium build. He was wearing a

black hoodie top, black beanie and had a black scarf covering his face.

He also wore a black glove with white motif on his right hand only, faded blue jeans which had a darker blue hem at the top of each back pocket and black leather shoes.

Detectives want to speak to a customer who was at the store just before the offender to buy an 8.5kg gas bottle.

Shire ‘connects’ at Crib Point Green light for speed cut MINOR infrastructure works getting under way around Crib Point will focus on Arthur Peterson Reserve, Crib Point shopping precinct, Disney St shopping precinct and footpaths.

Cr David Garnock said planning began about six months ago, with projects “getting off the ground” this month and next.

“Works will include ‘welcome to Crib Point’ signs, planting of trees, vegetation pruning, landscaping, painting, street furniture being installed at Arthur Peterson Reserve and around shopping precincts,” he said.

“There will also be works on Park Rd and Stony Point Rd to connect pedestrian paths, and minor car park works in Arthur Peterson Reserve, including grading and creating a twovehicle entry point.”

Crib Point Advisory Group president Mary Budd said the group wanted to work more closely with the shire.

“Our group includes community leaders, shopkeepers, foreshore group members and many members of our community,” she said.

“They have all really gotten behind projects around town, such as creating a mural on the toilet block in Arthur Peterson Reserve and using disused shops as art spaces. We all love our town and can’t wait to see things finished.”

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the projects reflected the desire of council and the community to deliver projects directly based on better connections with the community and its priorities.

“By taking this placemaking approach to minor maintenance that

DESPITE strong community pressure to keep speed limits as they are, VicRoads is proceeding to reduce Coolart Rd to 80kph.

“To make this road safer right now, the speed limit needs to be reduced and we will start working on making repairs on the road to improve the condition of the road,” VicRoads Metro South East regional director Aidan McGann said.

He said that a large part of the community had expressed a desire to retain a higher speed along the road and suggested that VicRoads should instead make the road safer with widening and repairs and improve lighting.

Mr McGann said VicRoads had received more than 650 responses to a survey and hundreds of comments on social media “which has created a clear picture of what the community is seeking”.

“The big message we have received is that there are sections of Coolart Rd that are in need of urgent repair. Some people have said they don’t feel safe on the road, because of the road condition.

“Bringing the road up to a standard where the community feels safer is a high priority and this will be given a lot of attention in the next 12 months”.

A follow-up survey would be made in 12 months.

“In the short term, VicRoads with the support of Victoria Police, will press ahead with reducing the speed limit to 80kph,” Mr McGann said.

“Many people have expressed concerns with the behaviour of some drivers using this road, with speeding and reckless overtaking being specifically mentioned.”

He confirmed the applicant had 60 days to appeal to the decision to VCAT. Shire communications manager Todd Trimble said the decision was made “under delegation� by the officers, meaning it was not ratified by the full council.

Cr Lynn Bowden, who campaigned against the facility, said she was concerned by its size and scope. “It was inappropriate for a rural town,� she said. “It was too high a density and the industrial look of the buildings just didn’t look right. “It was boxy, with pitched roofs, and would have overpowered everything.�

Cr Bowden earlier said the height of some of the buildings – coupled with their siting on high ground – would make them higher than the Centro shopping centre. “They’ll overlook the whole town.�

She said the council was also concerned with the amount of traffic the development would have generated on the “busy road�. “There’s already a senior citizens’ there, kinder, nursery, Centro, DFO, medical centre and houses – and Centro is pretty full now.�

A meeting of 60-80 people at the Mornington library on 3 June heard from the architects and objectors. “It was standing room only,� Cr Bowden said. “I didn’t see anyone for the proposal.

Burglar makes a run for it POLICE are appealing for public help in finding a burglar who was disturbed at a Frankston country club last month.

The incident happened at the Syke Rd club just before midnight on 30 May. Police believe the burglar gained entry by scaling a three-metre high wall and then walking through a courtyard.

A security guard on a routine patrol disturbed him going through drawers in a staffroom.

After a short confrontation with the guard, the burglar ran from the club, scaled a wall, and ran off towards Frankston North.

Police have released a face image of the burglar in the hope that someone

may recognise him.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to crimestoppersvic. com.au

Author teaches word craft to children CHILDREN who enjoy writing stories or “devour books�, or dream of becoming an author are ideal candidates for writing workshops with bestselling Frankston author, Michelle Hamer.

Hamer has run writing and publishing programs with local schools for several years and is now launching Wordsmiths, creative writing workshops, at the Frankston Library in term three. “Children have innate imagination and creativity,� Hamer said. “But they can get overwhelmed when they try to order their thoughts on the page. “By offering them some insight in to writing techniques and story structure they can have the satisfaction of creating cohesive, effective narratives.�

Hamer says she also focuses on fostering imagination and creativity. “Kids often get told off for daydreaming, I think we should encourage it. Fantasies and daydreams are integral to the life of an author, I do some of my best work while staring off in to space,� she says.

Hamer is the author of 11 books published around the world. Last year she had four children’s books published in Penguin’s Our Australian Girl series. “Working with kids is inspiring and challenging,� she says, “And it gives me a great sounding board for new book ideas. The kids quickly let me know if they don’t like what I’m working on.�

Wordsmiths Writing Workshops will run weekly Monday 20 July to 14 September at Frankston Library. Grade 1-3 from 4.10pm, 4-6 from 5.10pm, and secondary from 6.15pm. Cost: $200 a term.

Vote on RACV resort: minister Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SHIRE councillors have been told to get on with the job and vote on the RACV’s contentious Cape Schanck resort expansion.

Councillors baulked at voting on the $135 million project mid-May when they got cold feet over potential conflict of interest.

This was despite the council having legal advice from its lawyers Maddocks that councillors who were members of RACV roadside assist could vote on the controversial project.

The council also had advice from Local Government Victoria, which said councillors were clear to vote.

But a third legal opinion obtained by one of the councillors spooked the council and a planning meeting was cancelled just hours before it was due to start.

The council then sought a formal exemption from Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins but she told the council last week that she would not issue a formal exemption. In the meantime, the resort had been taken off the agenda of the 22 June meeting at Hastings.

Last Friday, the shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble told The News that “the Minister did not issue a formal ruling and has instead advised that individual councillors need to determine if they have a conflict of interest�.

He said the matter would be debated at the 13 July council meeting at Rosebud.

Five councillors out of 11 are RACV members so even if there had been a conflict the council would still have had a quorum of six and the matter could have gone to a vote.

The RACV resort is not an issue that has divided the council like, for example, the ill-fated Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud, which split the council 6-5 for almost three years from early 2012.

Councillors are expected to approve the resort

on 13 July, despite solid opposition from Cape Schanck residents who initially supported the concept but reversed their positions after seeing plans for a building of five storeys that will be almost 30 metres high including about 11 metres above the ridge line. About 200 homes and the National Golf Club were required to stay below the ridge line.

The RACV wants to demolish the existing clubhouse and construct a building to accommodate 650 conference delegates, up from the existing 250 limit. It will have 120 rooms, a restaurant for 140 people and a cafe for 44 people, generating a major increase in traffic.

On Friday, local state MP Martin Dixon, who has been critical of councillors not voting on the resort, said the Minister for Local Government had “cleared the way for the council, as the responsible authority, to finally make a decision and vote on the proposed RACV resort at Cape Schanck�. “The long-term sustainability of employment on the Mornington Peninsula is dependent on these sorts of projects and I have recently encouraged the RACV to continue investing in the Mornington Peninsula, regardless of how councillors see this issue,� he said. “The community rightly expects all prevarication over voting on the RACV project to be put to bed and that, subject to any genuine conflicts of interest, a full quota of councillors can properly exercise their vote as the responsible authority.�

Councillors have been leery about conflict of interest since Cr Graham Pittock was fined $4000 plus massive costs in September 2014 after the Local Government Inspectorate took legal action in 2012 over him voting on Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre matters in 2012. SPA was to have a gym and Cr Pittock owns a gym in Dromana, 10km from the now-abandoned SPA site.

A spokeswoman for objectors, Irene Wyld, said councillors’ only concern when voting should be ‘does it comply with the planning scheme’?

“We think it doesn’t comply and a 2014 VCAT ruling against a shire planning decision seems to support our view,� she said. “We’ve made it very clear to the RACV and the council that we’re not anti-development; we just want compromise. “The RACV’s Healesville and Inverloch properties sit unobtrusively in their landscape and provide economic benefits to their regions. Is it too much to ask of the RACV that they do the same at Cape Schanck? It’s in council’s hands. “Everyone keeps talking about the economic benefit that will come from the resort but is the council aware the RACV was successful in having its Torquay complex revalued, which saw the council’s rate bill cut by $230,000?�

Officer injured A POLICE officer was injured after intercepting the driver of an alleged stolen vehicle in Cranbourne on Saturday afternoon (20 June).

Police pulled over the car with four occupants just before 3pm.

As the police officer was walking towards the vehicle the driver attempted to drive around the police vehicle, striking the officer and pinning him between the two vehicles. He was taken to hospital with severe leg bruising.

Three youths, aged 16 from Narre Warren, Carrum Downs and Dandenong, and a fourth youth, 14 from Carrum Downs, have been remanded in custody to appear at a children’s court. They have been charged with reckless conduct endangering life, serious assault police, burglary and theft.

Music camp sounds alive THE Briars came alive with the sounds of American Pie and I Dreamed a Dream last week as 150 children from across the peninsula celebrated the 31st annual Southern Peninsula Music Camp.

The three-day camp drew students from Boneo, Rye, Eastbourne, Tootgarook, Rosebud and Pearcedale primary schools, and Parkdale Secondary. They were assisted by music teachers and secondary school students.

On the first day, pupils were given a list of songs to rehearse for a concert at the end of the week. The secondary students then tutored the younger pupils and ensured they had fun while learning.

With only three days to put together a huge repertoire, ranging from classical to rock, they quickly learn new skills, made new friends and developed as young musicians.

Rosebud Primary School’s Madison Bailey, in Grade 6, said she loves the music camp. “We have so much fun together.” Madison plays ukulele alongside others playing instruments, ranging from woodwind to percussion.

LETTERS Follow the rules I am a part of the "loose alliance" of locals and others you refer to who are involved in making people aware of the true nature of the current RACV development proposal under consideration by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

In our view your article (“Resort tops lighthouse in its image warfare”, The News 16/6/15) is well balanced.

However, we do wish to get our point across as a “loose alliance" group that we are not completely anti-RACV development. We are actually in favour of a development, just a more appropriate one than the current proposal before council.

That is, one that complies with the governing planning controls.

There are also several other serious uncertainties related to the development proposal that we argue council and the RACV must address before it can be approved.

The current proposal should be about whether it complies with the planning scheme document. We believe it plainly and obviously does not. Specifically, clauses 5.24 and 5.27 of the applicable document.

We have a number of other concerns about major uncertainties relating to the proposal which we are asking council and the RACV to first clarify and decide on before any approval decision is made. We do not believe it prudent or wise to approve this as-is when these uncertainties still exist and haven't been resolved.

This development proposal is not or should not be about the economic and other benefits of any future resort to the region. Those benefits should be a given and should be separate from the consideration of the development proposal.

We are all in favour of a suitable compliant and sustainable development and have maintained and communicated this all along. Our case is that the development should go ahead, but simply not in its current form as it does not comply. Its impact on the immediately local resident community will be considerable.

We have been in contact with Torquay residents, the site of a similar RACV resort. It was designed by the same architect and executed by mostly the same set of consultants. We have asked council if it could fully inform itself of some of the actions and behaviours of the RACV during and since that development took place, as they are of considerable concern to us going forward if they are accurate.

Our concern is that we as a group are perceived as being anti-development, which is not true at all. We simply ask that any development be done according to the applicable rules.

There are nine types of domestic violence and these include verbal, social, psychological and financial being the kind most often perpetrated on men. Men are being portrayed in some brochures as all potentially violent and, of course, this is manifestly unfair.

The One in Three Campaign – Family Violence - Australia says No! claims more than 30 per cent of domestic violence is towards men and the Australian version of The Guardian says 40 per cent.

Then we have to factor in the male suicide rate is 60 per cent greater than the road toll.

Intervention orders are issued at the rate of more than 1000 a week, which can be interpreted both ways.

Education of young people must be mandatory through high school.

Collaboration between people with sufficient emotional maturity to make equitable decisions and management of those violent dysfunctional people who are perpetrators will all be looked at by the Family Violence Commission currently underway.

Three word slogans Prime Minister Tony Abbott is back with his three word slogans about boats and terror. It seems every time his government gets found out about doing the wrong thing (paying people smugglers or curtailing Australians’ freedom with regressive security

laws), they treat us like mushrooms and keep us in the dark about things we have every right to be informed about.

Tony Abbott's mantra of “we do what is in the interest of security of Australia at any cost”, is wearing thin with me.

This behaviour is reminiscent of many authoritarian regimes around the world and can only lead to justifiable disquiet of people who are real democrats. It will lead to the radicalisation of many groups in our society who cannot seem to get a voice in the discussion about our future of how our society will be shaped.

The example of [Speaker of the House of Representatives] Bronwyn Bishop attacking [Human Rights Commission president] Gillian Triggs on [ABC TV’s] Q&A last week for just doing her job, shows us how narrow minded this government has become. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Drivers at fault Reading the article about the intersection of Robinsons Rd and Westernport Highway intersection (“No more deaths: petition plea”, The News 16/6/15) I was simply bemused by the childish attitude of people blaming the intersection for all the accidents.

I am sorry to say it is not the fault of the intersection but the inattention of the drivers, for example, being too busy with their phones and lack of attention to the road.

Light relief The lights at Frankston-Dandenong and Seaford and Ballarto roads, Seaford, have recently been reprogrammed and are far more dangerous for walkers than before for the entire length of both the “walk” and the flashing “don't walk” periods. Drivers pass very close and at high speed to walkers when making turns and seem to feel no need to give way to walkers or to not pass them so closely.

Drivers making U turns are especially dangerous and unpredictable.

These lights need to be returned to their old program.

To preserve Port Phillip, Melbourne should learn from Sydney

By Tim Flannery I GREW up beside Port Phillip, just up the road from Melbourne’s most striking natural feature, the Red Bluff cliffs. In those easier days I was allowed to wander to the beach to fish, beachcomb or swim. When I was 10 I took up snorkelling and at 15 scuba diving. From Sandringham to Mornington I came to know Port Phillip’s waters intimately. I loved it in all of its seasons – even mid-winter, when my face would ache from the freezing water. In that season life was in suspended animation – like a frozen tableau – but the water was crystal clear.

As the spring rolled in, strange visitors arrived.

Big-eyed, silvery elephant sharks, made bizarre by fang-filled pseudo-mouths atop their heads, would slip into the shallows to lay their eggs. I caught one once, thinking I’d feed the family, but was repulsed to discover that its flesh was green.

Later in the season vast schools of bait fish would arrive. I would float suspended in the mass of fish as they cast a fishy shadow around me, despite the violent dashes of the barracuda scattering them on all sides. Relentlessly surging north, always north, they manifested the irrepressible pulse of life itself. Then came the season for dusky flathead, and flounder, which would lie disguised on the rocky reefs, awaiting their chance to eat, and reproduce.

The background to all this activity was the reefs that lined the shore, their rocks encrusted with pink and purple coralline algae. Cricket ball-sized heads of temperate water coral, yellow and orange pot-shaped sponges, and feather-headed worms studded pink and purple, bringing astonishing colour and variety. Under rocks lurked multi-coloured starfish, colourful crabs, shrimps, worms and blennies. To me, the waters of Port Phillip were as glorious as any tropical sea. Perhaps more so, because the tropics are boringly uniform across the Pacific, while many of the glories I saw in Port Phillip were ancient Gondwanan survivors, unique to southern Australia.

I left Melbourne in January 1980, aged 24, to study in Sydney. I can’t remember my last dive, but I’m sure that I had no idea it would be 33 years until my next. In 2013, family drew me home. The first thing I did was to revisit

my favourite underwater haunt – the rocky reef at Beaumaris. For me, it is a special place, a touchstone of memory and experience so vivid that I frequently dream of it. The rocky reef is a fossil bed containing the bones and teeth of creatures that lived in an ancient Port Phillip more than six million years ago. The teeth of sharks larger than those of any great white, and the jawbones of mighty sperm whales, lay on the bottom there, awaiting pick-up by a curious boy. I had discovered the place when I was nine years old and had dived it hundreds of times searching for fossils.

When I plunged into the water in 2013 I knew immediately that the place of my childhood was gone. Instead of a beautiful rocky reef covered in coral, I floated above a cesspit of green scum. Algae grew on every surface, and it had trapped a layer of mud that had suffocated almost all of the life that once thrived there.

Thankfully the damage is reversible. Without pollution the green algae will starve, the mud disperse and the coral re-establish itself.

In the weeks that followed, I snorkelled at my old haunts from Mornington to Black Rock. Everywhere I saw sickly green algae crowding out temperate corals and other life.

The phenomenon is well known to biologists who study partially or completely enclosed waterways. It’s called eutrophication, and it’s caused by an excess run-off of nitrogen and phosphorus. Port Phillip is huge – it covers almost 2000 square kilometres – so it takes time for eutrophication to be felt. But it also takes a very long time to flush out pollutants, because only one per cent of Port Phillip’s water is exchanged with the ocean each year. If nothing is done, the nutrients will build up until a vast algal bloom is triggered. A toxic Port Phillip – its waters green with algae and covered in dead fish, its shores piled with stinking vegetation and animal life – will be the result.

The truth is that Melbourne is slowly strangling Port Phillip. Year by year the suburbs creep further south alongside its waters, and the infrastructure builds up, with more hard surfaces and less greenery to let stormwater soak into the soil. So each storm carries ever-more dog poo, rotten food, spilt petrol and oil, excess lawn fertiliser and other toxic substances straight into Port Phillip through the

300-odd barrel drains (more than one for each kilometre of shoreline) that act like open sores on virtually every Melbourne beach.

Some of the nation’s most expensive real estate fronts Cowderoy St, St Kilda West. But the Cowderoy St drain looks like it emanates from the slums of Mumbai, rather than an affluent Australian city. I volunteered to clean the shore around it by picking up plastic bags and other hard rubbish, but I nearly choked on the stench as I waded through the sickly, grey, sewage-like sludge that filled the drain, pushing aside the dead birds and toxic scum as I went, and soon gave up.

I’ve asked environmentalists why Melburnians tolerate the filth. Some say Port Phillip is so industrialised it’s beyond hope; others say it’s only used on a few summer days each year, so nobody cares. I’m shocked to hear it, having returned from Sydney, where residents would lay down their lives for the harbour. Thirty years ago Sydney Harbour was as polluted as Port Phillip is now, but hard work and pride have restored it.

So what does Port Phillip need? Some work has already been done. The Yarra River is cleaner than it was 30 years ago, the banks of the Merri Creek have been magnificently restored, and the Elwood Canal no longer stinks enough to make you gag. But those odious barrel drains continue to discharge their slow poison. They need reed beds to catch and soak up the toxins. In most places there’s more than enough flat land to do this. The Andrews state government, elected last year, has pledged to get rid of the 50 worst level crossings in the state. What about cleaning up Port Phillip’s 50 worst barrel drains?

But the problems go beyond the drains.

Flathead are the staple of Port Phillip fishers.

When I was a kid, anyone could catch 30 or 40 “flatties”, all more than 30 centimetres long, in a day. The species has declined by 80 per cent since the 1970s. In those days, it took a male flathead seven years to grow to the legal take size of 27 centimetres. Today it takes up to 13 years. Many have pointed to dredging as a cause, but the decline predates dredging.

Another suspect is the drought of the late 1990s and early 2000s. More important might be the reduction of the ghost mud shrimp, the

sand flathead’s food source. In the ’70s it was present on muddy bottoms in astronomical numbers. Today it’s totally absent from many areas. Surely overfishing isn’t helping. Port Phillip desperately needs more marine reserve areas. Those that exist are pitifully small, their margins thronged with fishers eager to take anything that wanders outside their bounds.

Port Phillip’s margins have also been battered by inappropriate development. Even the Beaumaris fossil bed has been partially destroyed to make a car park for motorboat users. In Sydney, great swathes of harbourside natural vegetation have been reserved, inappropriate infrastructure removed, and commercial fishing banned. As a result, fish stocks have recovered spectacularly.

Enormous kingfish, bream and other species are now a common sight in Sydney Harbour.

Even southern right whales have returned.

When I moved to Sydney such things were unimaginable. Sydney Harbour and Port Phillip were pretty much equally blighted. But the people of Sydney have cared enough to make a difference. Surely Melburnians can, over time, do an equally good job with their waterway?

The Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority has done much good. A powerful Port Phillip authority, properly funded and accountable, could deliver the strategic vision required, and the means of delivering it. It also needs a much beefed-up research effort – perhaps a Port Phillip Institute of Marine Sciences.

Research might show that seaweed farms could soak up the excess nutrient now poisoning the waterway. We might even be able to reintroduce now-vanished species. An old resident at Black Rock once told me that he used to dive for crayfish there as a child, on the rocky reefs.

Imagine that: crayfish in Port Phillip.  Dr Tim Flannery is a scientist and writer.

Navy’s newest ship slips away IN the dullest possible late afternoon calm weather, the very grey Nuship Adelaide passes Point King at Sorrento on Wednesday last week heading for Sydney after completing her first trials on Port Phillip. The ship, which will become HMAS Adelaide when commissioned, arrived in Port Phillip from Spain in February 2014 on the semi-submersible transport ship Blue Marlin. The hull of the so-called LHD (Landing Helicopter Dock) ship, the second of the Royal Australian Navy’s new amphibious vessels, was built at the renowned naval shipyard in Ferrol in northern Spain by Navantia and launched in July 2012. Adelaide has been fitted out by BAE

Systems at Williamstown shipyard and is expected to go into service in 2016. She is a sister ship to HMAS Canberra, which arrived in Port Phillip on Blue Marlin in October 2012 and was handed to the navy last year. At full load, Canberra and Adelaide will each displace 27,851 tonnes, making them the largest ships to serve in the RAN. Each ship can carry a combined armed battle group of more than 1100 personnel, 100 armoured vehicles and 12 helicopters as well as a 40-bed hospital.

Shaw makes headlines, again Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FORMER Frankston MP Geoff Shaw has re-emerged in a job after politics.

The ex-politician, who became embroiled in numerous high-profile incidents during his at times controversial four-year term as Frankston’s state member of Parliament, has a new role encouraging cover ups.

Mr Shaw is now general manager at Medihair Hair Transplant Clinics in Melbourne.

When contacted by The News a relaxed sounding Mr Shaw said he is “off the public scene now� but has “a few things in the pipeline with some quite credible people�.

He said he is using business contacts to promote the hair transplant specialist’s operations.

When asked whether he would consider using Medihair’s product himself he said he may do in future. “It’s not wigs or anything like that,� Mr Shaw said. “It’s actually operational hair transports [and] yeah, I actually would.�

The 47-year-old said he has a beard and is growing his hair long “so I’m not too concerned�. “I’m a bit relaxed but I probably will do something on that front.�

The former accountant and hardware business owner said working for a hair transplant company is not a radical change in career direction. “You’re still in business. I’ve owned a number of businesses and now I’m manager of this one.�

The oft dubbed “maverick� was elected in 2010 as a Liberal candidate but became an independent in March 2013 before formally quitting the party in early 2014 amid

Big changes in the legislation for roller blind chain requirements are driving the rapid expansion and development of blind motorisation. Over time this new legislation will result in the complete phase out of all chains on roller blinds. In Europe, it will be compulsory for any new roller blind installed after 2017 to have motorisation instead of roller chains. These legislative changes will soon also apply to the Australian market.

Peninsula Curtains is at the forefront of this change. We offer personalised solutions for all of your automation needs, with features that include; soft start and stop speed control, adjustable and automatic limits and intermediate positioning.

LOOK@THAT HASTINGS Your search for that little treasure may include...

Jackets, suits, furs plus other clothes Jewellery, hats,facinators

WHEN Jenny was asked to sell her mother’s wedding dress a few years back, it sparked her interest in vintage and collectables. Now the Mornington woman has opened her own vintage and retro shop in Hastings.

LOOK@THAT Hastings opened in Easter this year when Jenny decided to relocate her shop from Mornington.

LOOK@THAT has every little treasure you could want with jackets, suits, furs and other clothing, crystal, depression glass, pottery and porcelain, jewellery, hats, fascinators, tables and chairs, paintings and prints, records, radios, dolls and prams.

“I started out going to garage sales, vintage markets and people also bring their treasures

to me,” says Jenny. “I stock everything in my shop from bric a brac, to clothes, linen, records, whatever I find that’s different I grab. It’s not antique, but vintage and retro from about the 20’s to the 80’s and 90’s.”

And the reason behind the name of the shop is simple.

“Look at that is what you say when you are walking around and see something interesting and that’s exactly what my shop is like,” says Jenny.

Eyes on the prize: Junior champs Alex Scott, Ellie Wale, Hayley Silvester and sister Hannah are aiming for gold.

Students in line for top marks in sport Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THEY’RE a sporty lot at Dromana College … if it’s not cycling, it’s aerobics.

Off-road cyclist Ellie Wale, Year 12, is training to compete at the UCI World Mountain Bike Championships at Andorra (near Spain) in September.

She is representing Australia in the junior section.

Proud father Adrian said Ellie – the current Australian junior downhill champion – is the only Victorian junior in the team.

A member of the Red Hill Mountain Bike Club, Ellie trains with the Australian team and does power and sprint training to perfect her skills.

She competed in Cairns last year as a 16 year old and finished 22nd out of 28 open age world-class female riders.

Other students are chasing aerobics success – particularly Alex Scott and sisters Hannah and Hayley Silvester.

Alex, Year 9, competed in the school aerobics state finals over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, coming first with her pairs’ team and second in the individual and team division.

“I started at mum’s aerobics class

when I was six,” she said. “Now I train three times a week and really enjoy getting new leotards and learning new routines.

“It gives me confidence and keeps me fit and strong.”

Alex is now training for the FIFAS aerobics championships in the lead up to the world titles at Martinique, in the Caribbean, later this year. She has also competed in previous world championships in Queensland, 2011, and Europe, 2012.

Hannah, also Year 9, competed in the aerobics finals over the long weekend and came first in her division for sin-

gles. She won a Victorian state championship singles silver medal with her trio and will compete in the national championships later in the year.

Hayley, Year 10, competed in the same aerobics finals and came fifth in her division for singles. She is recovering from injury and working on her fitness but hopes to compete at the Martinique world championships.

“Having two competitive girls keeps me very busy,” their mother Michelle said. “Hayley is also a hurdler and sprinter and she trains two days a week for aerobics and up to four days a week for athletics. Hannah trains up

to four days a week for aerobics.

“Both the girls are vegetarians, so I have to watch what they eat. That investment in a NutriBullet was extremely worthwhile!”

The girls are hoping to make the world championships and then to represent Australia with their fitness team in December.

“Hannah would also like to do well at the nationals for singles and in her trio,” Michelle said.

“The girls started aerobics at Dromana Primary school in Year 6 with Mandy Eldridge – that was the beginning of it all.”

Station plans taking shape Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au IT is time for the community to let the state government know its views on the redevelopment of the Frankston train station precinct.

Public feedback is being sought on possible investment opportunities and projects for the train station and its surrounds.

The $50 million project is the highest-profile pre-election pledge made

by Labor before its November election win. An additional $13 million pledged by the former Coalition government to improve Young St will also be honoured by Labor.

A further $46.9 million will fund a first stage of upgrades to the Frankston campus of Chisholm TAFE. Premier Daniel Andrews has promised to “fast track” a master plan for the transport hub.

Proposals for the new station precinct include a new public plaza, police presence, upgraded pedestrian access to Bayside Shopping Centre and better pedestrian access to Chisholm TAFE and Beach St. The Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce - which includes mayor Cr Sandra Mayer representing Frankston Council, Chisholm TAFE CEO Maria Peters and representatives from Victoria Police, the Frankston Business

Network, Public Transport Victoria and the state government – will host a community drop-in session on Saturday at Frankston Library.

Feedback can also be submitted by completing an online survey or sending views about the station revamp by email to the state government.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the drop-in session and survey is an opportunity for residents to contribute to the transformation of the train station and central Frankston.

“I encourage everyone in Frankston to get down to the drop-in session or hop online and get involved in shaping the future of Frankston station,” he said.

“Our new station and precinct will be better for the passion and input of those who use it every day.”

Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said Frankston station is “a true gateway to the peninsula for visitors” and the project aims to “deliver a safer, more vibrant station and Young St”.

Project representatives will be on hand to answer questions about redevelopment proposals at Saturday’s public drop-in session.

Council asked residents in March to make their views known on the redesign of the station precinct before making its official submission to the Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce.

Council proposed a multi-deck car

park including office and retail facilities in partnership with Chisholm TAFE and “relocating government agencies” to the offices.

Young St traders want bus terminals to remain in the street instead of a proposed move to Fletcher Rd. The community drop-in session is at Frankston Library, Long Room, 60 Playne St, Frankston on Saturday 27 June, 10am-1pm.

See vic.gov.au/frankston-stationprecinct-redevelopment for more details. Public submissions, including the completion of an online survey, are open until Friday 3 July, 5pm. The project team can be emailed at frankston. station@ecodev.vic.gov.au

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The great public holiday fiasco

By Stuart McCullough THIS madness must end. Once upon a time, public holidays meant something. Now they’re being handed out with all the sense of occasion and grandeur as third prize in a pub-raffle.

Why, just the other week, we were forced to sit at home to wait out another one of these time-wasters. Don’t get me wrong; I like Bohemian Rhapsody as much as the next person, but telling everyone they can take the day off work to commemorate it seems a trifle over the top.

It’s a question that demands an answer: why does Queen get a public holiday when other equally worthy musical acts go without? Surely Fleetwood Mac deserves a long weekend.

The Beatles merit the better part of a week. And if Lady Gaga isn’t enough to let you go home early at least once a year, there’s simply no justice in this crazy mixed up world. Forget gold and platinum records; a day in your honour is where it’s at.

Perhaps I’m hoping for too much.

Granted, with ‘Grand Final Eve’ the bar for a public holiday has been set so low that almost anyone and anything can now fall over it; and if we can have a day off to celebrate something that’s not happened yet, we surely deserve some reprieve to let us kick out the jams. But if the powers that be aren’t musically inclined, then the least we can do is combine existing public holidays with great musical acts. That way, we can kill two birds with one Rolling Stone (metaphorically speaking, of course).

If anyone needs a day off, it’s The

PAGE 42

Beach Boys. Perhaps we can lump them in with Easter and celebrate Good Vibrations Friday? Or perhaps cast a light on a forgotten artist of yesteryear like Barry McGuire? Just the very notion of New Year’s Eve of Destruction seems oddly appropriate.

Personally, I’d like for us all to put

Western Port News 23 June 2015

our feet up and duff the lid of our collective cap to poodle-headed one-hit wonders of the eighties, Europe, by observing Grand Final Countdown Eve. Truth be told, maybe the reason I react so strongly against the Queen’s Birthday is that I don’t own any of

their albums. Not a one. Not in any format. You could scour my CDs, vinyl albums and cassettes all you wish and you won’t find anything by Freddy, Brian or the other two. The only version of ‘A Night At the Opera’ I own is by the Marx Brothers. When push comes to shove, I barely know any of their lyrics save for the bit that goes ‘Galileo’ in the alternating Mr. Gasbo / Emperor from ‘Return of the Jedi’ voices. Perhaps the real problem is that I feel guilty for taking the day at all.

That said, we’re all a little bit to blame. Nobody talks about the absurdity of the Queen’s Birthday for fear that if we do, someone might just agree with us and take it away. That, frankly, is the wrong approach. Instead, we should be turning our minds to alternative days. Because the real reason people want to observe the Queen’s Birthday is to fill the vacuum that otherwise exists between Easter and Melbourne Cup Day. (I’m ignoring Grand Final Eve. You should too.)

There are plenty of alternatives. Previously, I’ve suggested that we swap the Queen’s Birthday for Bloomsday on 16 June. That’s the day that celebrates James Joyce’s Ulysses. Before you snigger at the idea of having a day off for a book, I’ll simply say that Ulysses beats the Melbourne Cup hands down every day of the week and twice on the first Tuesday in November in terms of significance. I also proposed June 6 as ‘Convoy Day’, to celebrate the day on which a group of errant truckers decided to drive across America in C.W. McCall’s country-

pop masterpiece. But there are other options, too.

July 1st has to be a contender.

There’s no doubt that it’s a magical time of year. Autumn has bid its farewell. The days are getting ever shorter.

And accountants everywhere are getting excited at the prospect of closing out another financial year. In fact, there’s nothing our family likes to do more than to head to our nearest major department store to gaze in wonder at the seasonal window display celebrating the start of the taxation season.

This year’s theme is deductions. If we have time, we might even get our photo taken with the head of the ATO, perched on his knee while we list all the things we want from the coming financial year.

Perhaps the thing that really gets my goat is giving all that attention to an overseas band rather than one from Australia. At this point, we shouldn’t need to suck up to a group from Britain just to get the day off. Next year, the Government should gazette Ted Mulry Appreciation Day instead. ‘AC/ DC Day’ feels strangely right. (Imagine the greeting card. You’d open it and be greeted with a tinny version of ‘Hell’s Bells’ or ‘The Jack’.) The Edinburgh Rose Tattoo is as good a reason for a backyard barbecue as you’re ever going to get. Or maybe we should be more discerning. It’s odd that some public holidays are days of great national significance and others seem to be the result of a clerical error. But what do I know? Now excuse me, I’ve got some music to listen to. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Yabbies cop another hiding NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt TYABB lost its second game in successive weeks by more than 200 points on Saturday in Nepean League, this time at the hands of Rye. The Yabbies booted one goal in the opening quarter and were restricted to just two behinds for the remainder of the match.

Hastings too booted 38 goals last week against Tyabb and won by more than 200 points.

This week Rye booted 18 goals in the opening half and 20 majors in the second hour to record a 38.20 (248) to 1.2 (8) win.

The recent plight of Tyabb FC has been well documented and further highlights the incredible need for the governing body to put structures in place to ensure their longterm viability.

As a club, Tyabb is united. It is working tirelessly but copping 200-point thrashings can be taxing.

The Demons had 12 goal kickers on Saturday. Dean Millhouse and Adrian Gileno booted seven each, Andrew Dean kicked half a dozen and Ryan Mullett was the best player on the ground with five.

Rye premiership coach Steve Ryan played seniors too and finished with two majors.

Chris Samways and Adrian Clay worked tirelessly for the Yabbies.

Red Hill returned to the winners list against Devon Meadows after three weeks of misery.

The Hillmen had lost their past three games and trailed the Meadows by three points at quarter time.

The home side recovered to boot 10 goals to one after the first change to run out 11.14 (80) to 3.4 (22) winners.

Jake Mold booted three goals and was impressive while Marcus Dal Lago and Blake McCormack were outstanding.

Taz Douglas and Clint Walker were the best of the Meadows, along with Jess Dehey and Steve McInnes.

Rosebud continued its march, this time thumping Pearcedale to the tune of almost 11 goals.

The Buds set-up the win with a seven goal to two first quarter. They went on to win 18.15 (123) to 8.10

(58).

Tom Baker booted five majors and Lachy Armstrong three while Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley dominated.

Dylan Hoare and Ben Mitchell were the best of the Dales.

Sorrento’s Tyrren Head continued his outstanding season on Saturday with a best afield five goals in his sides 17.9 (111) to 8.10 (58) win against Frankston.

Leigh Poholke kicked three goals also for the winners while James Brigden and Troy Schwarze also saw a heap of the footy.

Matt Harris and Jason Curry were the best of the Bombers.

Somerville was at its brilliant best on Saturday, booting eight goals to zip in the first quarter against Dromana and winning by 13 goals, 22.15 (147) to 10.8 (68).

Rohan Hogenbirk and Jedd Sutton finished with three goals each for the Eagles while a further ten players contributed on the scoreboard.

Timmy McGennis was superb once against for the Eagles, dominating through the middle of the ground, racking up possessions and finishing with a couple of goals.

Justin Farrelly proved once again why he is one of the best big men in the game and Billy Rolfe played his best game for the season.

It was a tough day at the office for the Tigers, although Christian Ongarello and Daniel Guerts worked hard.

Hastings and Crib Point is usually a tough contest but it was very one-sided on Saturday, the Blues dominating and winning 22.19 (151) to 6.6 (42).

Crib Point booted three goals to Hastings’ four in the opening quarter but was only able to kick three more majors for the match, compared to Hastings’ 18 majors.

Taylor Stratton booted five goals in a best afield performance for the Blues while Luke Clark finished with four. Shaun Foster and Paul Rogasch were outstanding.

Brad Arnold and Dean Karies were the best of the Magpies.

This is the end: Pines saw off Chelsea to effectively finish the latter’s season in the Peninsula League despite a spectacular mark for the Gulls, above.

Pictures: Gary Bradshaw

Edwards dominates Gulls in big win PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FORMER West Coast Eagle, North Melbourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards played one of the most impressive games in Peninsula League memory on Saturday as Pines ended Chelsea’s season.

Edwards had close to 40 possessions, took more than 15 marks, booted seven goals and was clearly head and shoulders above any other player on the ground in the Pythons’ 18.9 (117) to 8.17 (65) win over Chelsea.

Edwards, who was the last player to kick 100 goals in the VFL at Frankston Dolphins before he was drafted to the Eagles, had as many possessions in the back half of the ground as he did in the offensive half – still, he finished with seven majors, four of which came in the last quarter.

His fitness levels, aerial skills, willingness to work and appetite for the contest were clearly evident.

Aaron was that good at Eric Bell Reserve that he made it look like he was

an 18-year-old playing under 11 footy.

He was that dominant.

He did have plenty of support from his team mates however, especially young ruckman Taylor Strachan, who was superb in the middle and around the ground.

His significant performance allowed Guy and Beau Hendry to maintain Pines’ structures of staying at centre half back and centre half forward.

Luke Holdcroft was also sensational for Pines, shutting down the dangerous Todd Gardiner.

Gardiner has been in superb form for the Gulls this season but was lucky to get half a dozen touches on Saturday, such was the blanket role that Holdcroft played. Holdcroft did the same job on Mt Eliza’s Ben Landry the week before.

Callum Gray was a youngster released from Frankston Dolphins and he showed a clean pair of heels while Chris Guganovic booted a goal in his 175th match, a milestone which gives him life membership of the club.

Through the middle of the ground at

the contests, Billy Humphrey was in and under and has a body that can take the hits, while Brendan Cowell is in the same boat.

Hudson Thomas was Chelsea’s best player, despite not being named in their best players. He was the only Gull to work hard over four quarters.

Brad Clark was extremely good too, while young Matt Silva and Jason Clark, along with Jackson Arthur in the ruck were clearly their best four, along with Thomas.

Chelsea trailed by six points at half time after ending a string of behinds (eight points in a row) with three goals in four minutes to end the quarter.

However, the Gulls didn’t come out to play in the second half. Pines improved their skill execution and snagged 12 goals to four in the second half.

Bonbeach kept its finals hopes well and truly alive, leading for most of the afternoon to beat an injury-riddled Mornington.

last week, the Sharks got their noses in front in the match against the Dogs and went on to record a 12.15 (87) to 11.11 (77) victory.

Mornington coach Chris Holcombe said on The RPP Footy Show before the match that he was missing eight of his best 21 players from the side.

However, the Dogs were still able to beat Langwarrin last week with a similar list.

Jackson Casey was at his best for the Sharks with three goals while Dylan Jones had the better of Michael Gay in the ruck.

Adam Symes played forward again for the Dogs and finished with six majors.

Langwarrin beat Karingal 14.14 (98) to 3.3 (21) as expected.

The Bulls had numbers behind the footy from the outset and the Kangas were forced to navigate their way through.

Shane Paterson and Scott Sienkiewicz (three goals) were outstanding for the Kangas while Blake Harkness continues his run of dominant perform.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Grant Goodall and Aaron Lees were the best of the Bulls, as was other leaders Luke Van Raay and Grant Paxton.

Frankston YCW made it two big wins in successive weeks with an 18.19 (127) to 4.6 (30) win against Seaford.

Dromana recruits Paul Minchington and Anthony Bruhn booted five and four goals respectively while Kyle Hutchison and Scott Macleod dominated.

Aaron Walton booted two for the Tigers and Matt Herbert and Nick Braund collected the top votes.

Mt Eliza bounced back from its loss to Pines last week to lead all afternoon to beat Edithvale-Aspendale.

The Redlegs led for the majority of the afternoon, kicking six goals to three after the main change to win 12.21 (93) to 7.9 (51).

Scott Lockwood booted four majors and Justin Van Unen three while Karl Lombardozzi and Ben Landry were dominant.

Mark Mullins and Brad Tagg were the best of the Eagles.

Winless home run continues CRIB POINT FC

By Jared Newton HASTINGS inflicted Crib Point a 109 point hiding at Hastings in what was Crib’s worst loss in a few years.

The game started evenly with a goal for goal opening term with the contest looking poised at quarter time before Crib Point were completely blown out in the remaining three quarters.

Hastings piled on goal after goal to kick 18 unanswered goals, before Crib Point salvaged a bit of pride in the dying minutes of the game with two late goals.

For the Pies, Brad Arnold was their best through the middle and toiled all day, a Dean Kairies played another strong game across half back, and Jack Johnson provided some spark with the limited opportunities he received kicking two. Aside from that many were down on their best and the result looked pretty inevitable when the Pies were down to two on the bench and looked very flat after halftime.

At the halfway mark the Pies are sitting 2-6 and had they been offered that pre-season would have been shocked at the thought. Injuries and

suspensions to key players has disrupted the season but their best has shocked a few, with finals out of the equation the second half the season is a good opportunity to try a few new things and disrupt a few other sides in their run for finals.

There is a finals football team somewhere there and if they can show it between now and August, they can set the foundations for a strong 2016 now.

The reserves found themselves undermanned and outgunned against a slick Hastings outfit who had more winners across each line in the midday game.

The seconds had their 7th poor start to a game football is year and were always going to find it hard to get back into it trailing by 27 points at the first break.

The boys found a bit of fire in the 3rd quarter to fight back and win the quarter but the task was insurmountable as they went down by 76 points.

It’s a shame that it takes the boys so long to get going in games of football. When their intensity, discipline is up they play better football, regardless of the skill errors.

The biggest killer for the reserves has been their lack of discipline.

Lack of discipline in manning up, lack of discipline following instructions.

With eight games to go they should set their sights to show greater discipline in the second half of the year and aim to win at least half their games for the rest of the year. Not an insurmountable task.

The under 19s continued their brilliant season and in the coming weeks I might need to start opening the articles with their efforts because they have been brilliant for Crib Point week in week out.

The unders continue to pressure the opposition and wear them down with run and pressure before blowing games open in the second half. After halftime, the unders kicked 7.8 to 0.3 to dismantle Hastings by 82 points.

The margin could have been greater had it not been for inaccurate kicking.

Coach Justin Rutherford has done well to keep a lid on the boys who will still need to keep improving should, they want to be premiers in three months time.

Hastings take back the Ron Moncrief Shield HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone, club president In what was a fantastic day for the Hastings Football/Netball Club, the past players and our premiership heroes of 1975 and 1995 got to see the senior and reserve boys put on a wonderful display of modern day football.

The fantastic crowd really emphasised the point that local football is truly up and about when two local rivals go head to head.

Our Club just wants to thank our past players for making the effort and supporting the club on the day, it truly did help the boys and didn’t go unnoticed.

SENIORS REPORT Hastings came up against our local rivals in what is always a big game.

We knew they would throw everything at us, and they kicked the first couple of goals, but we were able to get back into the game and come in at quarter time one goal up.

After that we played incredible team football, used all our options and our defensive pressure was fantastic.

This resulted in having a big win

on what was a great day having the premiership reunions at the club. It was great to get the win this year as Crib Point defeated us on both occasions last year. The game shows that when we are switched on we are a very strong team and to have 10 different goal kickers shows how well we played.

RESERVES REPORT The reserves faced Crib Point in the local derby and the boys started in great fashion applying enormous pressure through the stoppages and got on the scoreboard early, going into the quarter time break with a four goal lead.

Into the second quarter the boys upped the ante on there opponents and were moving the ball with some real speed and fantastic skills to get a couple more goals to go into the halftime break.

Into the third quarter the boys were determined not to let Crib Point back into the game and slowed it up. The on-ballers were playing some great tough footy to feed the runners the ball with two lively targets in Nicho-

las Guest and A.Vinson.

J.Hewitt and D.Hull were damaging around the packs and really took over.

In the clearances at stoppages around the ground , Crib Point were trying everything to stop the run by putting numbers behind the ball.

The last quarter the boys were urged to finish the game off.

With tired bodies starting to slow the game down a little, the boys stuck to the task and put a couple of goals on early to really break away.

In a highly skilled game of footy, N. Guest kicked his forth goal to have another promising day and A.Vinson three to be the most damage as forward on the ground.

The boys really ran away with it in the last ten minutes to have a convincing win UNDER 19s by Aaron Wilson An undermanned Hastings 19s were not able to overcome an in-form Crib Point in the round 8 local derby.

While the scoreboard showed a big defeat it didn’t tell whole story, with Hastings matching their rivals in the midfield and defence battles.

Kyron Pratt played a huge role in the ruck and centre half back.

Brennan Hassan also provided great run and direction of half back.

All in all it was a very encouraging performance from the boys.

NETBALL REPORT Local derby against Crib Point was a tough day for all teams with B grade getting the closest result. We had a few new face start with us; we welcome to our club Erin Newman, Abbie Liddell and Leah Clark.

C grade continues to battle hard, with a few new players in their team to get to know. They never gave up and continued to compete until the end.

B grade got off to a slow start so they were playing catch up for the rest of the match. Well done to Jess Reid playing in B grade.

A grade got off to a great start in defence with Ebony, Zara, Erin and Taylah putting the Crib Point attack end under plenty of pressure.

The goaling end took the most of their opportunities with the goaling accuracy much improved from last

week.

We lacked defensive pressure through the centre court which allowed Crib Point to score far too easily in the second half.

Rosebud away this week should be a great contest.

Upcoming Functions Comedy Night Live, 4th July, Des Dowling - Kihne, Brad Oakes – Rove fame, Mick Neven – SEN Radio.

Should be a cracking night. Cost $30.00 ticket or $50.00 double. Book through the Club on 5979 1740.

Toorak Twins Elly & Sarah Sarah and Elly Jackson are a high achieving local duo, who took out first and second place for Overall Junior Female, as well as second and third for Overall Female in the Arthurs Seat Challenge last year. Similarly talented in the academic arena, the girls graduated from Toorak College in 2014 with identical ATAR scores (they are identical twins after all!) to receive the prestigious award of Dux Proximus. Now 18 years old, the girls have started University courses, Elly is studying in Biomedicine with the intention of becoming an Obstetrician and Sarah is completing a Bachelor of Science, hoping to specialise in Veterinary Medicine. The girls are eleven minutes apart in age, with Elly being the eldest, but their times for the Arthurs Seat Challenge were much closer with less than a minute separating the pair. Once again, however, Elly crossed the line first!

They say this isn’t always the case, rather, when it comes to Athletics, Sarah has the edge and always takes out the sprints. With Cross Country, the rivalry is fiercer, however, the girls see it more as healthy competition and motivation. Sarah said, “We really help each other out. I don’t imagine that either of us would have reached the level that we have, if we didn’t have each other. We train together, race together, and most importantly motivate each to run.”

When asked about their stance on road safety for young people, both girls were adamant that relevant education is a must. “I really can’t begin to express how much I support this. I know all too well how important road safety is for young drivers, so the kind of education Fit2Drive provides is invaluable. Anything that helps to become safer on the roads is beneficial not only for us, but for all other road users too” said Elly. Sarah was also quick to remind us about distractions behind the wheel, “I feel a lot of young people take their safety for granted whilst driving, and don’t realise how unsafe it actually is at this age. I see way too many people, including my own peers, checking their phones whilst driving and I cringe every time.

That is something that I really think needs to be stopped.”

Asked if they would return in 2015, both girls emphatically confirmed, Sarah stating “Of course! Elly is looking like the favourite, but I still dream of beating her in a cross country race so I will be trying hard!” Elly played down her strength with hill runs, saying “I will be back this year no doubt!

It will be good to have another crack at that hill, it’s definitely a challenge that’s for sure! As for who will win this time, I have no idea, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!”
