Major plug for port plan Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE future development of the Port of Hastings received a major boost last week after it was declared under the Major Transport Projects Facilitation Act by Minister for Ports David Hodgett. The move paves the way for the planning approvals process to begin – a step MP for Hastings Neil Burgess describes as a major milestone. But, despite the port’s expansion “representing a transformational change that will provide a major boost

to the social and economic wellbeing of Hastings, the Peninsula and surrounding communities while also ensuring Victoria’s rightful position as Australia’s leading container port”, there’s plenty of local opposition. The Greens do not support establishment of a container port at Hastings, with MLC Sue Pennicuik saying the state government is “trying to avoid environmental protection laws in pushing through its proposal”. She describes the facilitation act as “a way for governments to avoid proper scrutiny of the environmental and social impacts of their favourite

transport projects”. And the French Island Port Stoppers say an informal poll of island residents and landholders in May attracted 58 responses with the “overwhelming majority” – 88 per cent – saying they are against the port’s expansion with 5 per cent for it and 7 per cent undecided. Meanwhile, Bass Coast Council is funding a study into the environmental impact of the port expansion late next month. It will develop a “range of scenarios that give proper weight to environmental values as well as their contribution to the economy of the area”. That action is being supported by the

Preserve Western Port Action Group, which says “the community is extremely concerned at the impact the proposed development will have on the environment and ecology of Western Port”. Its members are “delighted that the council is funding the project and supporting the community”. Mr Hodgett said investment in the Port’s expansion would “translate into the creation of thousands of on-going Victorian jobs for decades, while retaining our position as the nation’s freight and logistics capital”. He said: “Without investing to meet future demand, Victoria will reach

Hastings

container capacity by the mid-2020s, even with the benefit of current expansion projects at the Port of Melbourne. “This is why the Port of Hastings expansion is so critical to preserving our export and manufacturing industries and supporting the future liveability and economic growth of the state.” Mr Burgess said the project’s declaration provided certainty on the assessment-and-approval process. He said it would “ensure a full and independent evaluation of the project, taking into account the needs and feedback of the community”. Continued on Page 16

Locking up key to curbing crime Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A 13.2 per cent drop in ‘crimes against the person’ on the Mornington Peninsula in the year to March was the result of police “successfully partnering“ with the community, police inspector Karen Nyholm said last week. She cited a 10.1 per cent drop in assaults, and a similar drop in assaults excluding family violence, as “highlighting the holistic approach to increasing personal safety�. But, sadly, crimes against property rose from 5586 to 6292 – up 12.6 per cent; drug offences rose from 377 to 402 – 6.6 per cent and ‘other’ crime rose from 1467 to 1650 – up 12.5 per cent. Total crime was up 8843 to 9570 - 8.2 per cent. But inspector Nyholm said crimes which “touch us personally� have the greatest impact on a community. “The tragic events that unfolded at Tyabb in February with the tragic death of Luke Batty highlighted the complex and ongoing challenges that many families face on a daily basis. “Mental health and family violence are community issues that continue to harm lives and result in tragic consequences. “Police will continue to focus on empowering victims and working with their support partners to improve the safety of those affected.� The Mornington Peninsula has three 24 hour police stations at Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud and other stations at Dromana, Rye and Sorrento.

Supporting these are crime investigations units, highway patrol, family violence unit, crime scene services, crime prevention, youth resources, and a crime tasking unit. Insp. Nyholm said more police would come as a result of the ‘1700’ police rollout across the state. “Police continue to enforce public order around licensed venues and the Mornington Liquor Accord has provided a welcome platform for police and venue owners to address alcohol-fuelled violence. “The Mornington Peninsula offers a very safe environment to live, work and holiday – but the reality is opportunistic thieves exist in our midst. “Operation Ranger is an investigative taskforce focusing on theft from cars and theft of cars and is achieving good results. “Police have identified a high percentage of these crimes occurring when cars and houses are left unlocked.â€? She said community members can take simple steps to help avoid becoming victims of these crimes. “Road safety on the peninsula is a focus of all police units and the results have shown a further reduction in serious injury collisions by 16.8 per cent. Drivers are slowing down and, as a result, saving lives. Police will continue with enforcement operations including booze buses, back road operations for drink drivers and vigilance in detecting illegal phone users.â€? ď Ž See ‘Police deny frontline numbers slashed’, page 5

Police deny frontline numbers slashed Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au VICTORIA Police has refuted claims that the number of frontline police officers on duty at Mornington Peninsula police stations has been slashed by 20 per cent since 2010. Figures released last week by the state Opposition show the Mornington Peninsula was one of more than 50 police service areas across Victoria to suffer significant staffing cuts. Police numbers at thirty of those areas were down 10 per cent, while the peninsula was among 20 police service areas suffering cuts of more than 20 per cent, opposition police and emergency services spokesman Wade Noonan said. Mr Noonan said as many as 30 uniformed officers had been lost from some police service areas, with stations having trouble filling shifts and keeping up uniform patrols. He said in many cases, there was a direct correlation between the loss of local police and an increase in crime rates. “Most Victorians would be shocked to learn that while crime increases across the state, Denis Napthine has reduced the number of police on the beat in their local area,” Mr Noonan said. “When Denis Napthine cuts $100 million from Victoria Police and cuts the number of officers on the beat, he cuts support to your community.” “Despite Denis Napthine and the Liberals promising to make Victoria safer, crime rates have increased each and every year under this government.”

However police spokesman Sergeant Kris Hamilton said that there were now significantly more police serving the Mornington Peninsula community than ever before. “Looking at numbers within police stations alone presents a skewed picture of how many police are working in an area, because many of our police are not physically attached to the stations,” Sergeant Hamilton said. “They are working in specialist squads, tackling family violence, organised crime and offending on our roads. “These police are not always based at local police stations, but are still working in local communities, helping to keep Victorians safe.” Police Minister Kim Wells said there were now more than 1500 extra frontline police in Victoria than in 2010, with a further 200 to be recruited by November this year. “There are also more than 750 Protective Services Officers protecting commuters at rail stations, which is 750 more than there was under Labor. An additional 190 are still to come,” Mr Wells said. “Contrary to outrageous and misleading scaremongering by the Opposition, the formation of these critical frontline taskforces does not mean frontline police resources have been diminished.” Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay last week confirmed more police would be allocated to specialised units in the future, meaning there may be less police “physically attached” to specific police stations. Mornington Peninsula police com-

Moving forward: Chief Commissioner Ken Lay says police commanders need to have the freedom to move officers from town to town as and when needed.

mander Inspector Karen Nyholm said the region had three 24 hour police stations at Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud, and is further strengthened by stations at Dromana, Rye and Sorrento. A fourth 24 hour station will open next year at Somerville. In addition, a large number of specialised units not attached to specific stations operate across the peninsula region. These include crime investigations units, highway patrol, family violence unit, crime scene services, crime prevention, youth resources, and a crime tasking unit, Inspector Nyholm said. “We will be receiving more police as a result of the “1700” police rollout [promised by the Coaltion government] across the state,” she said. The opening of the new 24-hour police station in Somerville next year will see the reallocation of a number

line” in The Age newspaper last week stating “Chief to cut police on the beat”, Mr Lay said Victoria Police “needs to evolve if it is to keep pace with the changing world”. Outlining details of a “blue paper” on the future of Victoria Police, Mr Lay said police resources would be deployed at a divisional level for appropriate crime fighting tasks. “We need to build greater flexibility into the way we deploy our resources,” Mr Lay said. “That is why we are now allocating police numbers at larger geographic divisional level so that police commanders have the freedom to move police officers from town to town as and when needed. “In addition, we also need more dedicated, specialist taskforces that can help police tackle the greatest drivers of harm. “Challenges such as organised crime, family violence and the destructive prevalence of Ice in the community are not going to be solved through traditional policing alone.” Mr Lay said Victoria Police needed to modernise in order to keep up with ever changing criminal trends and the needs of the community. “The model that we’ve had for the last 161 years needs to be re-examined,” Mr Lay said. “It’s a history of allocating police according to population, not crime rates or emerging crime trends. “It’s also a geographic spread of police station locations based on nineteenth century patterns – a day’s horse ride between them.”

of specialised police officers, such as crime investigation unit detectives, away from smaller stations to the larger centralised stations. Mr Wells said the $16.3 million Somerville police station would boost emergency response capabilities, help reduce crime and improve community safety across the Mornington Peninsula. The station is designed to accommodate 150 staff and allows for expansion of police numbers in the future. An additional 109 police officers have been allocated to Southern Region Division 4, which services the peninsula. The station will include a uniform branch, highway patrol and a crime scene unit. It will also feature public consultation and interview rooms, a mess room, change rooms, a gymnasium, short-term custodial holding rooms, administration areas and conference room facilities that can be adapted for emergency management. Construction on the facility is expected to be completed in March 2015. “The police station will provide a 24-hour police response that will allow quicker responses to incidents and meet the needs of a growing population across the region,” Mr Wells said. “The new facility is part of the Victorian Coalition Government’s commitment to improve police facilities across the state, as we deliver an additional 1700 police to Victorian streets by November 2014.” “This represents the largest single law enforcement recruitment exercise in Victoria’s history.” Responding to “an explosive head-

Hospital panned in report Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON hospital is among Australia’s worst-performing when it comes to federal targets to treat emergency patients within four hours. A report released last week by the National Health Performance Authority showed it was in the lowest 10 per cent of major metropolitan hospitals in the country on the measure last year. But Frankston Hospital’s director of Emergency Medicine, associate professor Pam Rosengarten, slammed the report’s figures as outdated. “They are an historical snapshot of 20122013 when, for a number of reasons, times were below target. “A great deal of work has been done across all areas of Frankston Hospital and the four-hour time-to-treatment has improved to 64 per cent and is continuing to improve.’’ The performance authority report said Frankston’s emergency department could only manage to admit and discharge 50 per cent of patients within the target four hours. It said that, on a state-wide basis, about 67 per cent of emergency patients were treated in that time last year. The report – measured as a percentage – highlights the extent to which patients are able to depart public hospital emergency departments within four hours of arrival. Those presenting are subsequently admitted to the hospital, referred to another hospital or discharged. It includes data from 112 of Australia’s major and large public hospitals,

representing 76 per cent of the seven million patient presentations across the country in 2013. Prof Rosengartn said Rosebud Hospital, also part Peninsula Health, continued to meet and exceed all the benchmarks. She said Frankston Hospital’s ambulance bay was “the busiest in Victoria” and received more emergency patients by ambulance than any other hospital in the state.

“Despite the high demand, the time taken to transfer patients from the ambulance into hospital care is currently better than the state benchmark of 40 minutes,” she said. “The opening of a new $40 million emergency department early next year will give us the resources to meet growing demand and improve our time-to-treatment performance.” Frankston Hospital admitted 59,694 emergency patients last year.

Budget slashes ‘learn and earn’ programs YOUNG people facing the often difficult transition from school to the workforce – especially those “at risk of disengagement” – have had the rug pulled from under them by federal budget cuts. Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network (FMPLLEN) – which each year helps 2000 people aged up to 19 find work has learned that its federal funding will end in December. Through partnerships with other welfare group “partners” it has functioned successfully for the past 13 years tackling youth unemployment by improving the rate of youth transition from school to jobs. The partners work with schools, education and training bodies, community organisations, families, industry and government to develop opportunities for often disadvantaged and disengaged young people – but now that is at risk. Executive officer Carol Smith said their grassroots support was changing young lives by helping them re-engage with the community. Many recipients “could go either way”. “The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula youth unemployment rate is above 12 per cent and, with the associated changes to youth engagement, it is imperative that we continue to promote and implement strategies to keep our local youth in education or training.” She pointed to FMPLLEN’S recent help for 25 young Frankston mothers – some with partners - who had left school early to care for new babies and then found themselves in a void: uncompleted education and few job prospects in a tough market. Through partnerships with Anglicare and Chisholm Institute, FMLLEN staff helped the young mums enter and complete VCAL courses and have their babies looked after

at the same time. “They came away from their courses re-engaged with education and linked in with the community. We showed them where to find local services and facilities which are vital for young mothers. The program was a great success but, if LLEN had not put up its hand, it would not have gone ahead.” Funding for this particular service ends on 30 June. Hopefully, Ms Smith said, other viable local groups – such as Head Space - will be able to replicate their success. Ms Smith said FMLLEN had partnered with Frankston Council last year to form the Job Splash program, finding 50 jobs for 50 young people in 30 days. “We had a short, sharp campaign and 50 local businesses, such as cafes and some bigger businesses, came to the party. The 50 jobs were filled and about 60 per cent of the young people are still working there.” Ms Smith said LLEN was a ‘local, independent broker’ which researched its target market and devised pilot programs to get young people interested and involved in higher education or employment. “Those businesses weren’t going to offer those jobs on their own but, with our help, they did.” “We lobby hard for vulnerable young people because we are passionate about helping them. And once these programs go they won’t be coming back.” Their main hope is for the state government to provide $12 million in funding across the state. Based on last year’s figures, she said the cost to the taxpayer for each young person benefitting was less than $200. Youth Connections, a local program run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence, has also had its funding cut. It, too, will end on 31 December. Stephen Taylor

A 33-YEAR-OLD woman was arrested at Patterson Lakes on Monday 26 May after a half-hour police pursuit across the Mornington Peninsula. Rosebud highway patrol Sergeant Peter Martin told The News a member of the public called police when he saw a car travelling erratically in Safety Beach about 9pm on Tuesday evening. The driver refused to stop when police tried to intercept the car, forcing officers to pursue the vehicle for almost 40km. Sergeant Martin said no-one was injured during the chase. “We’re grateful to the man who called to report the driver,� he said.

“The man was horrified when he saw how erratically she was driving and he’s done the right thing.� The female driver, who Sgt Martin said was “of no fixed address�, eventually stopped her car in Thompsons Rd, Patterson Lakes where she was immediately arrested. Road spikes were not used to stop the vehicle, according to Sergeant Martin. He said the woman was taken to Frankston police station. “She was released on summons and has been charged with conduct endangering life, traffic offences and reckless driving.� Neil Walker

Hastings gets into Tasmanian Spirit Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au AN AMBITIOUS plan to redirect the Spirit of Tasmania ferries’ route from Devonport to Hastings – rather than Melbourne – has been floated as an idea from across the Bass Strait. Federal Liberal MP Brett Whiteley is pushing a 10-point plan to “enhance the current business model” of Tasmanian government-owned ferry operator, TT-Line and increase patronage on its two ferries. Mr Whiteley unveiled his proposal last week, including a recommendation to conduct a feasibility study to make Hastings a future destination for the MS Spirit of Tasmania I and II vessels. When contacted by The News, Mr Whiteley said he had identified Hastings as a possible point of arrival from Tasmania to “take advantage of the South East Victoria growth corridor” forming around the planned Port of Hastings precinct. He said the travel time to Hastings from Devonport would be significantly less than that from Devonport to Melbourne. The DevonportHastings route would be about 350km, while Devonport-Melbourne is 429km. “This would reduce fuel costs for TT-Line, passing on savings to passengers and making the ferries service more efficient,” Mr Whiteley said. “Many of the passengers aren’t necessarily going to Melbourne and this would be a way for people to be able to travel elsewhere in camper vans, for example, while avoiding the inner city Melbourne traffic.” He said Melbourne was used as starting point for caravanning holidays to Adelaide and

Queensland, for example. The recently completed Peninsula Link freeway would be able to handle Spirit of Tasmania travellers’ traffic from Hastings to Melbourne, according to Mr Whiteley. “It only takes about an hour or so to get to Melbourne from Hastings if that’s where travellers want to go so there would really be little difference in overall travel time,” he said. Hastings MP Neale Burgess told The News the Tasmanian government had been in touch with the Victorian government about the proposal. “We’re happy to work with them and any business we can bring to the Western Port community is always welcome,” Mr Burgess said. He noted the Spirit of Tasmania vessels also carry freight so the plan could dovetail with the Port of Hastings development. Mr Whiteley hoped the proposed DavonportHastings route could be a two-way win for both Tasmania and Victoria. “We need to encourage more tourism visitors to come to Tasmania and my view is this route would be much more affordable for passengers,” he said. He stressed the Davenport-Hastings plan was in its early stages, was “a long-term project” and a feasibility study would have to be conducted by the Tasmanian government and all stakeholders consulted before a decision was made. Mr Whiteley’s vision for a docking berth at Hastings for the Spirit of Tasmania vessels would include the Tasmanian government possibly buying land at the new Port of Hastings precinct, if the multi-billion dollar project ultimately proceeds.

Getting wiggy with it: Jessica Bakionozos had her hair cut by Kellie Tredwell-Noonan of Dirty Little Secrets hairdressers in Hastings to make a wig for cancer sufferers. Picture: Yanni

Jessica proves she’s a cut above SNIP, snip and Jessica Bakaniosis is transformed – and all in a good cause. The preppie from Moorooduc Primary was so touched by a recent Camp Quality fundraiser to help children with cancer that she decided to take action. Hearing how wigs are used to hide the effects of chemotherapy on young sufferers, she asked her mum, Bianca, if she could donate her long, blonde ponytail to make one (‘Hair’s looking at you, kid’, The News, 13/5/14). On Friday she had her wish fulfilled by

hairdresser Kellie Tredwell–Noonan at the Dirty Little Secrets salon in Hastings. Now, her lustrous locks will be donated to a wigmaker in the city – and a little cancer sufferer will benefit. Thinking she was “a bit like Rapunzel” Jessica, 5, proudly showed off her new look to our photographer, Yanni. Bianca said Jessica’s efforts through her registered charity had raised more than $1200 for the Cancer Council. A morning tea will be held at the Hastings Community Centre on Monday 16 June with money raised going to this worthy cause.

SPA: ‘Walkout’ councillor’s motion kicked out David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au Venue: Hastings Hub. Briefings as the entrée, followed by a meal, then the council meeting. A good crowd, that dwindled noticeably after dinner time. Apologies: councillors Graham Pittock and Bev Colomb. Cr Martin had resigned the previous Tuesday so only eight councillors present. IT WAS a meeting of two distinct parts, but with an air of tension over Part One, possibly emanating from councillors, who knew Part Two could well be lively. And so it was. Allow Council Watch to set the scene. The prologue: shire meetings are recorded via wi-fi microphones. These have been troublesome for months. They failed completely at Hastings. New governance officer Tony Beynon found a portable mike and galloped with it from speaker to speaker so the gallery could hear the proceedings … up to a point. The action: Cr Hugh Fraser had lodged a Notice of Motion related to the councillor walkout at the previous week’s Special Purposes Committee meeting. Cr Fraser, Cr Tim Rodgers and Cr Bev Colomb had left that meeting, which then had no quorum – unprecedented in recent shire history – and had to be abandoned. The “walkout” item could therefore

not be dealt with. And here was Cr Fraser’s follow-up, ticking like a bomb, in a public forum, seeking that the secret business be made public. First, Cr Fraser’s notice of motion argued that the confidential item was not confidential under the Local Government Act. Second, it argued that, not being confidential, it should be heard at an open council meeting. He named 10 June as the date. Third, he argued that the item should not have been on the agenda of a meeting outside Rosebud since councillors had resolved that all meetings dealing with the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre be held in Rosebud. Aha! SPA! So SPA had been the confidential item that sparked the walkout. The cat was out of the bag. A very large and formidable catout-of-bag is SPA, a veritable Bengal tiger of a cat, snarling, eyes flashing, claws menacing. No wonder the three councillors had walked out. The hugely contested, massively expensive, largely unfunded proposed Rosebud foreshore pool complex has cleaved the council with the force of a racing axe. Council Watch had sought in vain for details of that confidential item, to no avail. But one can speculate, as follows... SPA is about to be subject of a design competition. At present a few things are known about what the the project will include, but much detail is vague. That was made clear last December in a presentation to councillors, when its cost was quoted at $28 million and the public was told much of the detail was

still up in the air. The cost, incidentally, has now climbed mysteriously to $34 million. Of course the prospective design contest folk need to know what the SPA will include. There will be a pool – 25 metres, 10 lanes. Will there be a hydrotherapy pool or just a warm water pool? We know there will be a restaurant – Cr David Gibb, the project’s chief apostle, told us that last year, out of the blue. It will be upstairs, to take in the bay view. We know there could be a gym. But is it a certainty? Pools these days are far more than pools. Look at Frankston’s nearly completed complex, or the one at Waurn Ponds, near Geelong, or the one at Casey. These days children’s aquatic play areas are essential. And water slides ... there must be slides. And that means a separate pool, that sliders slide into. A diving pool, like Ringwood? This writer speculated some time ago that the SPA would include at least one water slide. And is prepared to speculate again that at least one water slide will be included in the design brief. Extra cost? Probably $5-6 million, maybe more. This will push the total cost up to around $40 million, and climbing. And will require a bigger footprint for the project. No wonder tension was high at the Hastings Hub meeting last Monday night. Cr Gibb and his supporters had failed to get this item debated at the closed meeting. And here was Cr Fraser asking that the proposal be decided in full public glare, where the gallery could listen to

councillors’ arguments and see how they voted. Responding to Cr Fraser’s questions, CEO Michael Kennedy confirmed he had stated in an email that not all of a confidential item might be confidential. But a mess ensued if part of an item could be heard in public, then the public had to leave for a confidential bit, then be called back in … asked to leave … called back in … more practical and logical to designate the entire matter confidential. “It has ever been thus,” he declared. Similarly, infrastructure boss Alex Atkins had indicated in answer to Cr Gibb that on complex matters the shire had over the years judged it best to discuss some issues in camera then decide what, if anything, to make public – effectively the “that’s the way we’ve always done it” argument. But Mr Atkins gave the gallery a big hint when he used the phrase “design brief” in relation to the confidential item. Explaining why the SPA item had been included in the agenda of a meeting held away from Rosebud despite the councillors’ resolution, acting chief financial officer Alison Leighton said that because the item was confidential it was not felt necessary to wait for a Rosebud meeting. The denouement: Then came the fireworks. Cr Fraser turned his attention to mayor Antonella Celi with a semi-technical question. She was nonplussed. “I beg your pardon?” she said. He repeated the

question. She glowered. “Cr Fraser,” she said, “I do not appreciate questions that are interrogative in nature.” And asked him to rephrase it. “I thought questions were interrogative,” someone whispered. From there to the end was but a few minutes of raised voices, shouting, shouting down, warnings about penalties in bylaws and then suspension of the matter. “Mr Beynon, can you please take the microphone to Cr Gibb,” Cr Celi instructed the man with the mike. Cr Gibb moved that the motion be put. It was. Then Cr Fraser’s matter was decided by Cr Celi’s casting vote. Now to wait for the design brief to reveal precisely what exciting new features the SPA will include. And possibly how much they will add to the soaring bill.

CELSIUS Long way to the top: Flinders MP Greg Hunt (fourth from right) joined students from Woodleigh, Rosebud, Toorak College and Mt Eliza for the event launch for the Arthurs Seat Challenge. Picture: Gary Sissons

Driving force behind challenge MORE than 2000 participants are expected to enter this year’s 6.7km Arthurs Seat Challenge in November. The challenge to climb to the top of the Arthurs Seat summit is a fundraiser to support a reduction in road trauma for young people and to raise money for the Fit to Drive road safety program. Since the introduction of the Graduated Licensing System, there has been a 23 per cent fall in deaths on our roads. Nevertheless, young people are still over-represented in road crashes and fatalities despite comprising just a small portion of licensed drivers. Young drivers aged between 18-25 years are involved in nearly one third of all casualty crashes, with road accidents killing more young people than any other single cause. Fit to Drive (F2D) is a locally developed program that now reaches over 30,000 Year 11 students each year across Victoria. F2D is a community program that concentrates on

personal safety and responsibility to make young drivers safer on the roads. It actively encourages and empowers young people as road users to look after themselves and their friends by recognising and overcoming risky situations. The Arthurs Seat Challenge campaign officially commenced with the event launch held on Wednesday 21 May at Arthurs Hotel. Sponsors including Bluescope Steel, Bendigo Bank and Eastlink, the member for Flinders Greg Hunt and principals and students from secondary colleges who take part in the Fit to Drive Program. Student representatives shared the powerful impact that the F2D workshops have had on them as young road users, as well as the significance of the Arthurs Seat Challenge as a fun and meaningful community event. Registrations are open now via www. arthursseatchallenge.com.au for the Arthurs Seat Challenge held on Sunday 9 November.

Peninsula youth ordered to work for dole Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au UNEMPLOYED young people on the Mornington Peninsula will be among the first in Australia to taste the federal government’s tough budget measures, with the controversial “work for the dole” scheme to be rolled out across the region within weeks. The combined Frankston and peninsula region has been selected as one of 18 “high-unemployment areas” around Australia to spearhead a trial of the Coalition government’s revitalised work for the dole program. Under the program, peninsula “job seekers” aged between 18 and 30 who have been unemployed for twelve months or more will be required to perform 15 hours a week of unpaid work over a six-month period if they are to continue to receive welfare payments. Unlike many of the Abbott government’s controversial budget proposals which must pass both houses of parliament before being implemented, the work for the dole scheme requires no such legislative approval and will come into force from 1 July within the 18 targeted regions. The rest of the country will follow 12 months later, when weekly requirements will increase to 25 hours unpaid work a week. The introduction of the scheme comes at a time of rising unemployment, particularly among young people. The Frankston and peninsula region has been targeted as one of four regions in Victoria with “unacceptably high levels of youth unemployment”. Over the past 12 months, unemployment in the peninsula region has jumped from 6.3 per cent to 7.1 per

cent, well above the national average of 5.9 per cent, while youth unemployment stands at an alarming 21.3 per cent. At the same time, job vacancy rates have been steadily decreasing, meaning there are less jobs and more people looking for work. Welfare and community service groups have criticised the merit of the previously abandoned scheme, claiming it does nothing to improve job prospects for young people and unfairly punishes them for being unable to find employment in an increasingly tough job market. “Where are the jobs these poor young people are being punished for not being able to find?” Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott asked. “There aren’t enough jobs on the peninsula for people with good skills, let alone young people who aren’t able to gain the experience necessary to get their foot in the door, and things are getting worse with more and more jobs being axed. It’s depressing enough being out of work and not having enough money to cover basic necessities, let alone the further indignation of being stigmatised like this, being told you’re a bludger and treated like a pariah or a criminal. Ms Elliott said there appeared to be little difference between community service, which is a court sentence applied to criminals, and the work for the dole program, both of which require participants to perform unpaid work. “Are we now criminalising unemployment?” she asked. However, federal member for Flinders Greg Hunt welcomed the selec-

tion of his electorate for the trial, saying the scheme would assist peninsula young people find long-term work by helping build skills and good habits. “The strongest indicator that someone will be unemployed at 35 is if they are unemployed at 18, which is why we are committed to breaking the cycle of unemployment and encouraging young people to learn new skills,” Mr Hunt said. “The work for the dole program provides participants with basic skills that they will be able to take with them into future employment. “The program will also have a flowon effect for the broader community, as work for the dole participants will work on local projects such as upgrading infrastructure and completing community initiatives.” Examples of possible work for the dole placements identified by the federal government include:  Retail work in not-for-profit stores such as those operated by major charity organisations;  Assisting in the administration areas of eligible organisations;  Gardening or maintenance activities in schools or aged care facilities (however, no caring, teaching or direct supervision roles will be allowed).  Rehabilitation works of public parks and roadways  Restoration of community facilities, such as churches or community halls. “Job seekers placed in work for the dole activities will need to undertake all required training and pre-placement compliance activities, such as routine police checks and occupational, health and safety training,” govern-

ment literature outlining the scheme states. However, Ms Elliott said the government’s apparent belief that longterm unemployment was somehow tied to poor “work ethic” and could be corrected by forcing welfare recipients into unpaid work displayed a gross lack of understanding of the causes. “It all sounds good in theory, but the reality is that the work for the dole program simply doesn’t work,” she said. “It’s failed in the past and was abandoned, but now the government wants to dig it up again to show they’re doing something to solve the jobs crisis. “But when you have one in five young people out of work, you know it’s not because they’re slackers who need to be somehow disciplined, it’s because there aren’t any jobs available, or the right sorts of jobs available, especially at the unskilled end of the spectrum.” She said the government should address “the real problem” by creating more work opportunities, rather than taking a punitive approach by punishing young people for something that’s out of their control. “The effects on young people’s self esteem can be quite devastating,” she said. “Being unemployed can be soul destroying so telling them they’re failures and forcing them into a demeaning program is just going to further erode their confidence. “The measure of any society is how it treats it’s most vulnerable members, and we are clearly failing on that front.” Other major charity and social welfare agencies servicing Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula also ques-

tioned the merits of the work for the dole scheme. The Salvation Army, which operates the Peninsula Youth and Family Services, said changes to the Newstart and Youth Allowance payments were of significant concern. Salvation Army national secretary Major Kelvin Alley said the “stringent” requirements for job seekers would create “enormous challenges” for young people just to survive “let alone get meaningful employment”. Hanover Welfare Services CEO Tony Keenan agreed, saying the changes to youth unemployment benefits could “substantially impact” vulnerable young people. “We know from experience that the best thing we can do for young people is get them into education and employment – what this budget is lacking is concurrent investment into effective programs that will do this,” Mr Keenan said. The Australian Council of Social Service said the government should focus on improving job opportunities for young people and strengthen training and education available instead of penalising them “at the very time they need support and hope”. “It makes no sense that the government has decided to spend new and precious dollars on restarting the failed work for the dole yet cut programs that clearly work, flying in the face of all evidence,” ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie said. “The problem in high unemployment areas around the country is the lack of jobs, not inertia on behalf of people who are looking for paid work.”

Landcare under siege as ‘army’ Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE Coalition’s Green Army has delivered a dose of “shock and awe” to Mornington Peninsula environmental conservation groups, with details in the federal budget revealing funding would be slashed. Landcare groups have been blindsided by news they would lose $483.8 million in funding that had been earmarked for future grassroots grants, despite government promises funding would be retained. At the same time the Abbott government’s environmental centrepiece, the Green Army, will get $525 million over four years to carry out work previously conducted by Landcare volunteers, such as cleaning up waterways, revegetation work, managing weeds and invasive pests, and protecting local heritage sites. Landcare members slammed the cuts as a “broken promise” and said the Green Army could not replicate the work done by the skilled and dedicated volunteer community. National Landcare Network chairman David Walker said news of the funding cuts had come as a surprise, following recent government assurances that Landcare funding would be “quarantined” from budget cuts. He said that with no new funding available, a number of Landcare groups may be forced to shut down. “I think devastation’s probably pretty close to it,” he said in describing the feeling among Landcare groups upon learning of the funding cuts. “They feel as if they've been dumped and dumped on. Landcare activities will certainly decrease and the interest in sustainable farming practices will be reduced.” Landcare groups will now be forced to compete to become “sponsors” to Green Army projects, with two such programs slated for Western Port and the Mornington Peninsula to commence shortly after 1 July.

Environmental custodians: Members of the Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network steering committee, which was formed in April to create a coordinating body to oversee region-wide conservation projects.

he Western Port Green Army project will have four main strands: Watsons Creek rehabilitation in Baxter and Somerville,;foreshore revegetation and walking track construction at Hastings, Crib Point and Somers; bandicoot habitat preservation at Bayles; and weed removal and revegetation at Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang. The Mornington Peninsula project will focus on Mount Martha-Balcombe Creek nature trail habitat enhancement, Southern Peninsula Foreshore and creek rejuvenation, Red Hill South biolink and community reserve creation, and a “war on weeds. Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network secretary Bernie Schedvin said much confusion remained over how the Green Army scheme would be funded and administered. She said there was added uncertainly over occupational health and safety requirements and workplace insurance coverage for groups overseeing unskilled Green Army participants. “There are a lot of questions that need to be answered,” she said. “We really don’t know how the new arrangement is going to work or how it will be

funded. But any funding cuts will certainly leave us in a very difficult situation.” However, Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network president David Maddocks welcomed the announcement the region would be among the first in Australia to benefit from Green Army projects. “The Green Army has been allocated a certain amount of money for peninsula projects and we have an application in place to host those projects,” he said. “That will hopefully mean our Landcare activities will be supported by Green Army teams, which is a favourable outcome for the Mornington Peninsula.” Mr Maddocks said ongoing funding arrangements for Landcare projects on the peninsula remained unclear. “It would be disappointing if there are cuts but I'm yet to see the details.” Legislation to enact the Green Army program was passed by the House of Representatives two weeks ago, and will be debated in the Senate within the next fortnight. Should the legislation be passed, as is widely expected, projects will begin in early July. A national Green Army facilitator – which will

captures fed funds act much like a job placement agency to recruit and manage participants – is also expected to be announced within weeks, along with the appointment of qualified regional coordinators. Recruits will operate in teams of ten overseen by a team leader and will work with local “sponsors” such as councils, Landcare and conservation groups. Environment Minister and member for Flinders Greg Hunt said the federal budget had provided $1 billion funding for a new National Landcare Program, which was an amalgamation of the former Landcare program that delivered funding to grassroots community and volunteer groups, and Caring For Our Country, which delivered on the Commonwealth's national sustainability priorities. “The Green Army represents enormous opportunity for local environment and Landcare groups,” Mr Hunt said. “The Green Army will generate real benefits for the Australian environment and give young Australian aged 17-24 the opportunity to gain training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation projects.” He said the Green Army was a “key Coalition election commitment” and would support “practical, grassroots environment and heritage conservation projects” across urban, regional and remote Australia. “From July this year, 250 Green Army projects will be established, providing employment and training to around 2500 participants. The Green Army will become Australia’s largest-ever team supporting environmental action across the country, building to 15,000 young Australians by 2018.” Participants in the program, to be recruited from the ranks of young unemployed people, will be eligible to receive an allowance that will be higher than Newstart or the Youth Allowannce but well below the minimum award wage. The will also have the opportunity to gain certificate I or certificate II qualifications in areas such as land management, park management, landscaping or horticulture, Mr Hunt said. “It is important to note, the Green Army is not a work for the dole program; it is a voluntary program

for young people 17-24 to gain training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation fields and explore careers in conservation management,” he said. However, in a Senate Estimates meeting last week looking into the details on the proposed legislation, a Department of Agriculture spokesman confirmed there would be no new allocations of direct funding for community Landcare groups. Responding to questions from Greens Senator Rachel Siewert, the spokesman confirmed that while “natural resource management bodies” would receive funding, Landcare groups would miss out. “There is no money for activities beyond those which are already contracted or committed... other than through regional bodies,” he said. Senator Siewert replied that she was “stunned that there’s no money for actual Landcare projects”. Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce, whose department jointly administers the Caring for Country and the National Landcare Program alongside Mr Hunt's department, recently assured Landcare Network representatives that the organisation’s funding was safe from budget cuts. But Mr Joyce has now acknowledged Landcare groups would lose funding were entitled to feel disappointed. However he vowed that Green Army projects would pick up the slack. “What we’ve got to do is incorporate the Green Army into the Landcare process and have Landcare utilising the Green Army funds and resources as a mechanism to make up for what I acknowledge is a loss of funding in future projects,” he said. Senator Siewert said the Landcare community had taken the government’s word that funding would be maintained at face value. “They took this to mean on-the-ground Landcare funding,” she said. “I have serious concerns that these cuts will have a devastating effect on the Landcare movement, and the ability of groups around the country to continue operating, including their ability to participate in the Green Army program.”

Major boost for Port of Hastings

S K A O LE PLUSH TOYS O B $4.90

Continued from Page 1 Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean said the next three to four years would involve port planning, conceptual design and “a comprehensive study of the social, economic and environmental effects associated with developing the state’s next container port”. He said the authority was “acutely aware of the unique and significant environmental aspects of Western Port, ranging from the internationally-recognised Ramsar wetlands through to the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve. “Understanding the existing conditions in the Western Port marine environment is the first step in this process.” He said “open conversations would be had with local communities and other stakeholders to ensure that every point of view is heard in this systematic and comprehensive assessment process”. But Ms Pennicuik said there has been no public business case to justify construction of a new port, versus the option of greater efficiency in existing facilities at the Port of Melbourne. “We should instead improve efficiency in the way freight is being handled through ports and in the wider transport system,” she said. Preserve Western Port Action Group chairman Jeff Nottle said transforming Hastings into an international container port would require massive dredging and increase the volume of shipping dramatically. “It is the most significant issue facing the Phillip Island and Western Port communities. The

expansion has the potential to wreck the environment and amenity of Western Port and with it the tourism industry.” He said the Bass Shire study by two Australian National University researchers “should have been carried out before the Government announced its decision to expand the Port. “We really do expect better governance from a Government that professes to support tourism.” The study will be done on Phillip Island over a one week period and will involve local interest groups, councillors, CEOs, Victorian National Parks Association, Western Port & Peninsula Protection Council, industry and environmental specialists. Students participating are studying Environment Management and Development: Scenario Planning and Analysis for Australia. The 20-member French Island Port Stoppers meet regularly to determine what they can do to stop the port’s expansion. They have set up a Facebook page and are connecting with other groups around Western Port. They have a twitter account: @fiportstoppers, and an email address: fiportstoppers@gmail.com Members are planning a public meeting at the French Island community hall and printing a brochure about the impact of the expansion on French Island: its environment, residents and landholders and amenities. They will join other groups to prepare and distribute information about the development’s environmental and lifestyle impacts, and its economic impact on people living on Western Port and the Mornington Peninsula.

Residents invited to Cerberus ward meeting CERBERUS Ward residents are invited to community meeting on June 18 hosted by councillor David Garnock. Cr Garnock said residents would have the opportunity to hear updates of projects and voice the opinions on matter affecting the community. The ward includes the townships of Hastings, Bittern, Crib Point, Tuerong and parts of Moo-

rooduc. Community organisations are welcome to bring along brochures to share on the night. A light supper will be provided.

Volunteers get right to Point CRIB Point Community House recently celebrated and thanked their wonderful volunteers after another successful Quilt, Art & Cake Expo late last month. Their volunteers have done everything including planning, organising the paperwork, hanging quilts and artwork, kitchen duties and much more. Federal member for Flinders Greg Hunt, Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Councillor David Garnock attended a lunch to thank the volunteers for their tireless work for others. They praised the work of all volunteers and the many different ways they support the community. Every volunteer was personally thanked and presented with a certificate and a volunteer badge. Crib Point Advisory Group members who work tirelessly to improve and maintain the character and environment of Crib Point were lunch guests. Over the past eight years the

group has fought and successfully stopped the Boral plant being built in Crib Point and worked with the Mornington Peninsula Shire to develop a vegetation and planning overlay for Crib Point to stop the unchecked development of multidwelling units. Cr David Garnock thanked Rosemary Evans for her tireless work with CPAG over the past eight years. Rosemary was presented with a mayoral commendation for her voluntary work with CPAG. Rosemary has been the driving force of CPAG and at the forefront of its advocacy and fight to preserve Crib Point’s character. She has done the hard work of researching, following up leads, writing submissions and objections and working with council and others to progress the issues. Her persistence has paid off for the good of her community.

FEATURE PROPERTY

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

Country style convenience CENTRALLY located to shopping hubs at Somerville, Baxter, Langwarrin or Frankston, this quiet and private rural-residential property on 1.5 hectares could be the best of both worlds. The property is divided into four fenced paddocks. There are two lined stables so you could run some horses, and three water tanks total 75,000-litres storage capacity, plus there is bore water. The comfortable ranch-style home has a full-length verandah along the front that adds some character and the well-planned interior sprawls across three distinct living zones. Encompassing one wing of the home is a spacious lounge room with raked ceilings and a woodheater, then you easily flow through into a timber themed dining area and kitchen featuring an island bench with gas hotplates, a stainless-steel wall oven, and a corner pantry. In the east wing are three bedrooms - two have built-in robes - and the large main bedroom has an interesting spa room, which could be re-modelled into an ensuite bathroom. Towards the back of the home is a family room with study and a second bathroom. There is the usual complement of storage sheds befitting such a property and a wonderful addition is the eight-car carport adjoining the home. With excellent access to Peninsula Link, Melbourne becomes your oyster with a handy commute to work in any direction.

HISTORY

In search of the origins of peninsula football

Above: Melbourne Grammar footballers, 1873 Below: The 1857 book Tom Brown’s School Days bolstered the popularity of sports as a character building exercise.

By Lance Hodgins Part One THE story of football on the Mornington Peninsula has an interesting beginning. To fully understand it we need to go back to the origins of Australia Rules in Melbourne and consider the factors which were responsible for its various stages of growth. Some remarkable insights will emerge. The match played in 1858 in the shadows of the MCG between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College has become legendary. Forty players per side dodged redgum trees as they pursued the ball over 600 metres of Yarra Park, following a loose set of rules agreed upon by each team’s umpire. The game began on Saturday 7 August 1858 and each side scored a goal before fading light forced a postponement. Two weeks later, the two sides met again, but remained scoreless. When no more goals were scored another two weeks later, a final draw was declared. Tom Wills was one of the umpires on that occasion and he features in the statue which stands outside the MCG today (see below).

Above and below: Early football in Yarra Park

Wills, one of the state’s top cricketers and secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club, had just written an open letter urging cricketers to take up a sport such as football as a means of keeping fit in the off-season. It seems that his wishes were already being met. Recent research has suggested that there were other matches played in 1858. One of the most sur-

prising finds is that Melbourne Grammar had already played, and won, a match two months earlier – against the now defunct St Kilda Grammar. Perhaps as a result of this game, and a week before the Melbourne Grammar vs Scotch game, a scratch match was played between a team of schoolboys and the men of a St Kilda club. The schoolboys almost certainly included students from Scotch, Melbourne Grammar and St Kilda Grammar, and it was after an hour and a half’s play that the grown men of St Kilda grew frustrated with the “new” rules and their skilful opponents, and the game descended into fisticuffs. On that same weekend, a local publican named Jerry Bryant hosted a game in the Yarra Park (MCG) so that all-comers could “bring along their own code” to try out, with the intention of deciding on some common rules in his bar afterwards. Nothing appears to have been recorded for posterity, but this problem was solved the following year with the drafting of the “Melbourne Rules” by Wills and a group of friends who had formed the Melbourne Football Club. Other clubs were soon created and, in 1859, games were being played with increasing frequency in Yarra Park, Princes Park and Fawkner Park. Wills went to live in Geelong in 1860 and the game gained a strong foothold there. His brother-in-law, HC Harrison, captained one of the Geelong teams and became renowned as the best footballer of the era. This began an intense rivalry between the various Geelong and Melbourne teams that persists to the present day.

Tom Wills (far right) with his cricket colleagues in 1859. Jerry Bryant is second from the right.

Throughout the 1860s, football was tried in those provincial centres with enough people in occupations which did not have to work on Saturday afternoons: Ballarat, Bendigo, the port of Warrnambool, and the gold towns of Heathcote and Maryborough. By 1877, there was a new Victorian Football Association, a revised set of rules, and almost 150 teams spread across the suburbs of Melbourne – each promoting pride in their community, a particularly important role especially for the working class families of the inner suburbs. And the crowds loved it. Matches between Melbourne and Carlton, for instance, were drawing up to 15,000 spectators, far exceeding the numbers attending the rugby and FA Cup finals in England. Furthermore, “Marvellous Melbourne” was about to enter the long boom years of the 1880s when jobs and home ownership flourished, immigrants poured in, and its population would top the one million mark. Australian football had truly arrived. A few significant factors stand out in the evolution of the game. It is not surprising that the earliest organised games were played by schoolboys, as they were the segment of society with the largest amount of leisure time at their disposal. Furthermore, many private schools at that time had headmasters who believed that a vigorous team sport was the key to building men of good character. This philosophy was popularly

bolstered by the publication in 1857 of Tom Brown’s School Days, a semifictional tale set in the famous Rugby school, where the central character became hero of the day in a grand football match. The headmasters of Melbourne Grammar, Scotch College and St Kilda Grammar were from England, Scotland and the Channel Isles respectively, and they brought their own codes of football with them. They were certainly not united by rugby and therefore had to find some common ground of their own. From these beginnings, the rules of the game evolved and participation widened to include men of every occupation. It is therefore reasonable to expect that frustration and argument would be commonplace. The need for people with available leisure time capable of understanding new and constantly developing rules meant that the game did not spread that easily. The more remote rural areas of the state were fairly slow to adopt the new game, especially in the days before the establishment of the railway network. Many smaller towns tried a version of the game once or twice before returning to the ploughing match and other more relevant rural contests. It would be thirty years after those first exploratory games of 1858 that the first official football clubs would be seen on the Mornington Peninsula. … to be continued Western Port News 3 June 2014

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Cool climate wine flows IT is that time of year again, when the International Cool Climate Wine Show is held on the Mornington Peninsula. This annual event is now in its 15th successful year and is recognised as one of the best boutique wine shows in Australia. With an experienced judging panel lead by Meg Broadtman MW, the wine show offers participants from cool climate wine regions the opportunity to showcase their wines. Owned and organised by the Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Show, and held at the Mornington Racing Club, it was originally established to help benchmark cool climate wines. Since 2000, entries have grown dramatically along with the events reputation. There are three companion events that accompany the judging. The popular Public Tasting event, proudly sponsored by Luigi Bormioli,

gives the general public the chance to come and sample the entries in the show, including being able to vote for the “People’s Choice Award”. The awards dinner, proudly sponsored by Hillview Quarries, Peninsula Bulk Meats and Ingham, also allows guests to enjoy a gourmet three course dinner and select complementary wines from the extensive list of entries. The Masterclass, proudly sponsored by the Mornington Peninsula Shire, is also offered to sommeliers and wine buyers. Held at Southbank, the Masterclass provides a unique opportunity for the wine trade to taste gold medal winning wines and will again be led by Meg Brodtmann MW.

of councils to this practice with a view to prosecuting offenders. Country Roads Board, stating intention of the Board to pay an amount by way of commission on account of supervision of maintenance works as well as construction works, but the scale of fees has not yet been decided on. E Elliott, Merricks, drawing attention to state of culvert on Hastings

to Flinders road, between Bittern and Hastings. He met with an accident on the 16th inst the wheel going through the decking, thus breaking the wheel, and asking for compensation. Referred to engineer.

A C R Stone, also complaining of state of road and damage to vehicle. Referred to engineer. J Walker, secretary Progress Association, Crib Point, re state of Stony Point road. To be attended to. J Matthieson, state of McArthur street, Dromana. The secretary stated that this had been attended to. E Wilson, Camberwell, re condition of roads leading to his property at Sorrento. West riding councillors and engineer to inspect spot and report. TENDERS: The tender of W Skelton for 200 yards of limestone metal for Sorrento Portsea road at 5s 2d per yard was accepted *** LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sir, Kindly spare me space in your columns to comment on the most deplorable state of the roads in the Hastings township. As I travelled by the evening train about a week ago, and in walking down I thought it was the mud flats I was on instead of a supposed metal road, for the holes in it are more like large crab holes than anything else. As I got into one and what with the road being flooded and the hole, I got wet up to my knees, As for the old fashioned lamps, you have to strike a match to find them. For a township like Hastings, it would be nothing out of place if the Council provided acetylene lamps, as they are greatly needed. The next morning as I went for a walk to see if I had left my boot in the hole or not, I was surprised to see a large heap of metal lying nearby, and so many holes in the road. Yours etc, A TRAVELLER. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 June 1914

Lego and other dark arts By Stuart McCullough DID you ever truly hate someone? So much so that their every success leaves a taste in your mouth so bitter that it threatens to ruin your tastebuds for all eternity? Where their slightest triumph or most feeble of victories is like a slap to the face with a wet hamster? An enmity so powerful that it is undimmed by years and distance? I’m talking about the kind of loathing where the mere mention of their name is like a kick in the down-belows by a hung-over Draught horse. I’m ashamed to admit it but I carry precisely that kind of detestation inside me. A bigger person wouldn’t let the accomplishments of others affect them so deeply, but this is a grudge that I have carried for most of my life and there’s not a snowflake’s chance in Laverton that I’m about to let bygones to bygones now. It’s gone too far for that. The simple truth is this: the fires of hatred burn brightly within me for one thing and one thing only: Lego. Let it be said from the outset that the feeling is absolutely, 100% mutual. Odium and abhorrence may well nest within my bosom for an educational toy and, granted, many would consider such naked revulsion to border on the unnatural, but it’s not just one-way traffic we’re talking about. Lego, too, despised me right from the outset. I’d go so far as to say it was enmity at first sight. From the moment I was first big enough to hold a plastic brick in my tiny hands and wonder who turned the television off because I’d rather be watching an episode of

The Banana Splits than wasting my time messing around with the Danish idea of a practical joke, we have been the most bitter of rivals. Some might look at a small plastic brick and see a house, a car or even an entire city, just waiting to be brought to life. I, on the other hand, saw something that didn’t taste very good, de-

spite my repeated efforts. In fact, it’s true that you can make almost anything out of Lego, except dinner. Then there are the little Lego people, with their plastic helmet hair that so closely resembled my own. Even as a child I could tell they were mocking me. I vowed to destroy them. But vanquishing an enemy is no easy thing, particu-

larly when they’re made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene rather than your traditional flesh and blood. However, Lego has done more than just avoid being consumed by the vicissitudes of my smouldering damnation. It has thrived. It has flourished in a way that I could never have imagined. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that it is now more popular than ever. Just last week I received an email from an on-line bookstore to say that Lego would soon be putting out a new novel. Let me simply say that something is drastically wrong with the publishing industry if a bunch of oneinch figurines have published as many books as I have. The sales figures will, doubtless, be staggering. I’m sure that it will be a gripping read. But how should such a weighty tome begin? Perhaps something with a Dickensian feel will appeal to the masses. ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was playtime’. Or maybe it will be in the form of a diary where we have to sit through the daily problems of an ordinary piece of Lego and its search for love. Sigh. Now that I think about it, the book’s probably a memoir – publishers love that kind of thing. If it were up to me, I’d make it a Choose Your Own Adventure book and make sure all the endings involved being melted in a furnace. Then there’s the Lego Movie that has been so wildly successful that there’s talk of a sequel. How predictable. Personally, I’d prefer a prequel to a sequel any day. Maybe they can get the Lego version of Jar Jar Binks to

appear and stink the thing up good and proper. So what’s left for Lego? A chat show? Reading the news? Big Brother contestant? Maybe a mentor on ‘The Voice’? It’s inevitable that they’ll put out their own album. And although I’d love to declare that the world simply has no use for records made by lumps of plastic, the on-going success of Madonna suggests there’s a market for that kind of thing. Let’s face it, there’s just no stopping them. Lego will rule us all. Clearly, my campaign of vilification has failed. Despite all my letters, the countless petitions and the ceaseless cyber-stalking, Lego has remained wholly immune to my efforts to destroy it. Enough is enough – perhaps it’s time to call a truce. After all, every war must end eventually. It’s probably up to me to make the first move. Perhaps I could kick off my ceasefire by watching the Lego Movie. Or maybe by reading the Lego Book. It couldn’t be any worse than The Bridges of Madison County. It’s time to admit that all this pettiness and vindictiveness is making me less of a human being. I ought to be a little bigger. In fact, I need to surrender and start afresh. Things will be better if I do. But that’s easier said than done. For no matter how hard I try, how often I swear I’ll change, it always seems beyond me. It seems that, after all these years, I… just… can’t… Lego. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Western Port News 3 June 2014

Notably, it will be the band’s first visit to New Zealand in twenty years. Performing a massive run of shows, the tour will include indoor arena dates in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney as well as special outdoor concerts in Hunter Valley, Auckland and Victoria’s iconic Hanging Rock. The legendary Hotel California outfit will perform their career-spanning History Of the Eagles concerts, which sees members Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmit deliver an incredible three-hour songfest of classic Eagles hits, including tracks the band had never previously performed live Including celebrated favourites such as Desperado, Take It Easy, New Kid In Town, Lyin’ Eyes and Take It To The Limit, the ‘History Of The Eagles’ global trek has already elated fans across the USA and Canada since their latest world jaunt kicked off in July 2013. Last in Australia in 2010 and New Zealand in 1995, the ‘History Of the Eagles’ tour is a mammoth production spanning the globe.

The album Here’s To You & I will be released on Friday 4 July with the first leg of the album tour commencing the same day. Sisters, Brooke, Sam and Mollie McClymont have been working on their fourth album Here’s To You & I for the past year, splitting their recording time

between Sydney and Brooke’s ‘shed’ studio at her Central Coast home. Having spent most of the past few years in the USA, this is the first album that the trio have recorded in Australia in an effort to reconnect with their roots. The girls worked with renowned Australian producer Lindsay Rimes (Tina Arena, Lee Kernaghan, Stan Walker) on the record. The album is filled with heartfelt stories, irresistible tunes and that unmistakable honesty. The multi-talented sisters from Grafton have come a long way since they first joined musical forces seven years ago. Together they have released an impressive sixteen singles and three albums, and amassed two ARIA Awards (including Best Country Album), eight Golden Guitar Awards and an APRA Award. The McClymonts will appear at Palms at Crown, Friday 25 July and The West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul, Sunday 27 July. www.themcclymonts.net.au

the passing of “the dinner dance” phase. The Tower Hotel in Hawthorn has some tales to tell. Commiserations also to the Coalition voters who will suffer under Joe’s budget. Alas, knowing you lot, come the next election you will do the same thing. *** LOOKING on the bright side the harsher the budget, the more chance of getting rid of the deceitful duo. Mr Bland (Billy Boy) is not one to inspire confidence but surely this gives him something to work with. Oh, and thanks for the $175,000 for tour signage on the Mornington Peninsula. *** CONCLUSIONS: A tsunami of narcissism and skulduggery. Philosopher Alain de Botton says to draw pictures of “interesting things” proving the wisdom of philosophers? Perhaps draw a magpie? No, they’re gone, this year at least. I prefer dance. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Maybe log on to arts and culture on the Mornington Peninsula and beyond. Enough! *** WHENEVER there’s a TV news item on property values we see shots of a spiffy looking real estate agent slapping the pamphlet held hand on the other saying “sold” to the lucky buyer, the “lucky” assuming interest rates do not rise beyond repayment limitations. I’ve

attended a few with no intention to purchase, more a fascination of the agent working to the adrenaline of the last two or three would be buyers, or, as is sometimes the case, left hanging mid-air for want of any response. Not always, but sometimes pure theatre. Even better with a female auctioneer. *** SWINGING on a star? USA Senator Paul Tsongas, deciding not to run for re-election after being diagnosed with cancer. “No man ever said on his death bed I wish I had spent more time at the office”. We don’t spend enough time smelling the roses. It’s coming up ten years since my wife passed away. At my age I have nothing better to do than reflect. I was lucky on balance, chance being an enormous factor. Missed World War II, missed the Korean War, public service for 20 years, married 43 years, other jobs, kids, paying the debts. It was towards the end of my time in the public service I had a thought, as it happened my first original thought; the need for a balance between work and living. *** WE had our arguments about money, power and sex; who doesn’t? More a case of separate inner frustrations in living to a pattern (Is That All There Is, Peggy Lee), no matter the circle of friends. My wife tried a meditation group (so she said?) and painting,

enriching her separate world. I tried writing. The love remained as did the arguments but happiness was there in another form, richer. Separate and together. The benefit of computers is there, but only if it frees up time to expand and appreciate your world. The same applies to television. Both want your money, neither necessarily making you smarter. A good job is a good job but unless there’s more to it than money it has limited happiness value. Extend your boundaries if circumstances allow. We only get one shot at it. *** JULIA’S Tim Mathieson having a go at Tony Abbott’s lovely first lady thereby bring the full wrath of my favourite newspaper (Herald-Sun) down on him. Not too bright, Tim. Ditto Daniel Andrews on the suggestion of capping council rates to the CPI. Local government is separate. Cheap politics. *** MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is poised for a new era, as in ‘bye bye democracy’ and farewell to Frank Martin and the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. Sadly, the powerful win again. Best not to worry; move on. *** WITH all the talk of corruption (fixed gambling) in sport we Collingwood supporters have nothing to worry about. We already get robbed almost weekly

*** UK singer Adele has recently given her fans a hint that she may release a new album this year. The elusive singer has remained largely out of the public spotlight since the huge success of her 2011 album 21. *** FORMER Peninsula School student James Reyne has announced he will do a tour of Australian Crawl songs called ‘The Crawl Files Live’ in August. *** JOEL and Benj Madden are set to release their first album as a double act. The brothers, on hiatus from their band Good Charlotte, will release The Madden Brothers’ debut, Greetings From California, in October. It includes a single co-written with Pharrell Williams. *** Godzilla (Roadshow Films) has smashed its way to the top of the US box office. The 3D monster movie had the second largest debut of the year taking $100.9 million in the first weekend of release. *** A US lawyer is threatening to hold up the release of Led Zeppelin’s upcoming Led Zeppelin IV reissue over credit. The lawyer is representing the late Spirit guitarist, Randy California, who he claims inspired the classic tune, Stairway to Heaven. The lawyer, Francis Molofly, alleges the 1971 single, which appears on IV, was lifted from Spirit’s 1968 song, Taurus, and he is hoping to prevent the rockers from releasing the remastered album…. ***

A Grain of Salt I CAN’T say I’m shocked at Tony’s budget. He promised: no new taxes, no tax increases, no cuts to the ABC or SBS, no cuts to health or education, no pension or GST changes. He got the last one right but I remain a monkey’s uncle. The end of entitlement has begun, as our Treasurer predicted on that world stage (in London) last year in his speech to the movers and shakers. Tony’s answer (“I stand by what I said before the election”) was surely from Alice in Wonderland. Brazen for Tony, hubris for the ambitious blowhard Joe. Powerful bullies. *** THE 2 per cent tax increase for those paid over $180,000 - or $5 a week - is for those who don’t pay tax anyway. $245 million for school chaplains to provide our kids with spiritual guidance? The $7 for a doctor visit to fund medical science can be compared with Napthine’s monorail to Melbourne Airport. No change on the cost to government ($40 billion) of tax concessions on superannuation. Always nice to keep the top 10 per cent chosen ones happy. They need it to pay for their cigarettes. *** COMMISERATIONS to those born after 1965 (pension eligibility), including my daughter, who popped out unexpectedly after a wild dinner dance evening way back when. We oldies regret

What not to say to a sleep deprived parent LATELY I’ve noticed that there seems to be a common perception amongst parents whose babies know how to sleep, that parents whose babies don’t sleep are, well, insane. And here’s the thing. As a parent who has endured now 14 months of sleep deprivation and 3 visits to sleep school I’d just like to tell you that chances are, well, we are. And so what I’m noticing is this divide between parents who may have had the odd sleepless night due to illness, teething, separation anxiety and the like and parents who’s little ones just don’t seem to understand the concept of sleep. To help clear things up for everyone and to ease some of the tension that may be brewing amongst your friends or your parents group or your online networks, I have created a list of what not to say to your sleep deprived friends: 1. You just need to listen to your baby and do what’s right by them. Nope. Tried that. Turns out what’s right for my baby is being cuddled, upright with his head

on my shoulder while I prance around the room all night. And as he dozes off in to his beautiful baby dreamland and I gently, quietly transition him to his bed he screams bloody murder until I return him to the aforementioned position. Sometimes what’s right for baby, makes mummy go nutso. 2. You can’t expect your baby to sleep for 12 hours straight and the sooner you let that expectation you go, the better off you’ll be! Hold up. When did we say anything about 12 hours sleep. A 4 hour block of sleep would be bliss! 3. Wait til number 2, you won’t even be able to think about sleep you’ll be so busy! At this rate, we don’t have the energy to think about numero 2, let alone conceive it. 4. Just try not to overthink it! Good point. So when I’m wide awake between 2am and 4am, instead of thinking about why I’m awake and how much I’d rather be asleep, I’ll just think about daffodils and daisies and all will be fine. (Sorry, this ones a bit sarcastic, but those that have

Oooh thems fighting words! 10. My baby is such a good sleeper. But I think it’s because I…… Because you what? Have a more soothing womb that promoted sleep in your belly? 11. Gosh, my baby woke at 6.30am this morning. I’m so tired! No, you’re not. To those of you who have offered me advice over the past year or so, I truly do thank you and I understand that you’ve only ever tried to help. I also understand that in hindsight your advice would probably have worked for much of the time. Unfortunately, when one is sleep deprived, there’s not much that can be said other than this: “You must be exhausted. Do you want me to mind baby for a couple of hours so you can have a nap?” Or “I have some phenergan in my handbag” By Stacey Anderson, founder of Little Things in Common, a social network for parents looking to connect with others who have things in common. Join the fun at www.littlethingsincommon.com.au

spent those hours awake on a regular basis know that it’s pretty tough to do anything but think of sweet, sweet sleep) 5. Have you tried (blanky, night light, patting, rocking, shushing, music, making the room darker, put them to bed later, earlier, change their bedtime routine, etc)? Yes. We’ve also tried Richard Mercer’s love song dedications and sleeping with an old tshirt that reeks of me and EVERYTHING in between. The only thing we’re yet to try is sleeping pills but trust me, they’ve been considered. 6. I hears ya, my 7 year old still doesn’t sleep through the night Don’t. Just don’t. 7. The baby can sense your anxiety Great, my infant doesn’t know that if he closes his eyes he’ll have an instant remedy for his manic overtiredness but the clever little bugger can smell fear. 8. I’d just let them cry it out, but that’s just me. Oh we’ve tried letting him cry… he just doesn’t get the “it out” part. 9. Any baby can sleep through the night. It’s up to the parent.

Foot pain not child’s play feet’), can affect the capacity of a child to run, jump and balance well. These issues may be assisted during a child’s developmental years and should be checked.

THERE are some common observations and issues related to children’s feet and legs that parents are often concerned about. We asked Sports Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify some of these.

Growing Pains Growing pains are very common and are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones. The exact nature of the pain should be determined as soon as possible, so should definitely be checked.

Flat Feet Contrary to popular belief the appearance of flat feet in children, is NOT usually cause for concern. However, if there is associated pain, balance issues or excessive rolling inward of the ankles, parents should seek professional assistance.

Shin Pain Medial tibial stress syndrome, anterior leg pain and compartment syndrome are all commonly referred to as shin splints. Any shin pain should be checked.

Pigeon Toe & Out Toe The appearance of in-toeing (‘pigeon toed’) or out-toeing (‘duck

Eagles stop Kangaroos bounce PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE played some of its best football for the year to lead Langwarrin all afternoon in Peninsula League Football. The Eagles have been incredibly inconsistent this season, however apart from a lapse in the second quarter on Saturday, they controlled the match for the remainder and ran out comfortable 13.15 (93) to 12.6 (78) winners. It was a meeting during the week leading up to this clash that resulted in the turn around of form and general spirit among the group. Despite missing stars including Mark Mullins, Jarrod Garth and Tim Mavric, the Eagles were impressive. Matthew Clark, who was suspended by ASADA while playing for Frankston Dolphins a couple of seasons ago, made his return to football and was superb. Eighteen-year-old Angus Scott was dynamite and used explosive pace to his advantage, while 16-year-old Darcy Warke was tremendous for the winners. And then there was Stevey Mannix who dominated across half back and Brent Bowden who worked tirelessly across half forward and was the best player on the ground with four goals. When the team needed a shot in the arm, on the couple of occasions that Langwarrin was fighting back, Tim Mannix found the footy in dangerous areas and finished with a couple of goals. Matt Kremmer booted two goals up against the boundary line from long range but more importantly, kept Langwarrin’s Rikki Johnston deep in defence, which worked against the Kangas because they lost that drive. Matt Dimkos was a shining light for the Kangas, finishing with six goals. No question he is a stay at home forward and shouldn’t leave the 50 metre circle. Edithvale coach Troy Shannon said

it was a very different Saturday night at home following the win. “The last couple of Saturday nights (after losses to Mornington and Frankston YCW), “I’ve been laying on the couch with my baby daughter and we’ve both been sucking our thumbs,” said Shannon. “Last Saturday night, I was able to watch the Bombers beat the Tigers, which really topped off a great day.” Shannon said the game was a “little reflective” of his team’s year. “We play some really good quarters of footy and some really poor ones,” said Shannon. “I guess on Saturday we were able to play better for longer. “I thought we both played a similar style of game. I was impressed with

Langwarrin. They just seem a little light-on at the minute in terms of their body size.” There’s no doubt that Edithvale won the clearances and they were also a lot more potent in attack with Nick Connellan, Bowden and Kremmer all up there. Had Garth played, Connellan would have gone back and Dimkos wouldn’t have booted six goals. While Langwarrin started the year well, losses against last year’s grand finalists would suggest they are still not worthy of being included in talk of the top three teams in the competition. The Kangas will be fighting it out with Mt Eliza for fifth spot. Mornington is the sleeping giant after beating Frankston YCW. The Stonecats went into the game

without ruckman Ash Eames (hamstring), while the Doggies were notably missing Dale Nolan and Anthony Franchina. The Dogs got the jump on YCW in the opening quarter and despite being challenged in the third term, were able to push on and record a 10.11 (71) to 8.10 (58) victory. Jai Haddock and Michael Gay were outstanding in the ruck for the winners while Aidan Speedy continued his sensational season with two goals. Brad Ulms shouldered the ruck work for the Stonecats and did the job well. Tony Lester was solid and Scott Macleod finished with three goals. Bonbeach turned it on again on Saturday and continued to build its season, this time beating Mt Eliza. The Sharks opened up a three goal

break in the opening quarter and led by as much as 30 points at different stages in the second and third quarters. The final margin should have been greater considering the Sharks had an additional 13 scoring shots. They won the match 13.16 (94) to 9.7 (61). Shane McDonald was clearly the best player on the ground with six goals while Jackson Casey, Matt Batten and Anthony Raso were also dominant. Nathan Hicks finished with three majors. Karl Lombardozzi and Sam Gill worked tirelessly for the Redlegs. Tommy Shaw booted six goals to help Seaford to a 13.13 (91) to 10.11 (71) victory against arch rivals Pines on Saturday. The Tigers have been playing well but not winning this season. However, on Saturday, they were superb against the Pythons. There wasn’t a lot between the sides for most of the afternoon but when the game needed to be won, the Tigers stepped up. Brayden Irving was released from Dolphins’ duties and was the key difference between the sides, dominating for the Tigers. Nick Boswell also played his best game since returning to the club and coach Ben Crowe was outstanding also. Beau Hendry and Jamie Messina (three goals) were the best of the Pythons, while Guy Hendry and Shaun White also worked hard. Chelsea won its second game of the season, beating Karingal 16.12 (108) to 8.14 (62). Matty Baxter and Hudson Thomas each kicked three goals for the Gulls while Jayden Attard, Richard Jaroszczuk, Daniel Aarsman and Zac Graham dominated. Luke Van Raay kicked three majors for the Bulls and was one of the team’s best, while Grant Goodall and Tom Brennan were also very good for the visitors.

Buds bounce back into action

NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Rosebud’s season is well and truly back on track after coming from behind to beat Devon Meadows in Nepean League Football on Saturday. It was a must-win game for the Buds, who had won just two matches leading up to the clash. Despite losing three games by less than two goals this season, a loss on Saturday would have seen Rosebud miss out on the final five. Now, the Buds are back in the mix and at the end of the split round, will be just one game outside the top bracket. However, at half time on Saturday, it seemed the Buds’ season was shot. Devon Meadows played their best quarter of footy for the season in the second quarter, booted eight goals to two points and led by 30 points at half time. However, the Buds worked tirelessly in the second hour, thanks largely to skipper Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley, and got themselves back in the contest. The Buds reduced the margin to eight points at three quarter time and booted 3.6 to 2.2 in the final quarter to sneak home by two points, 11.17 (83) to 12.9 (81). Devon Meadows coach Brent Clinnick said his team was devastated after the loss. “To have 19 inside 50s in that sec-

ond quarter and play our best footy for the year, then not give a yelp in the second half was really disappointing,” said Clinnick. “I really rate Rosebud as a footy club and they just gone down to work in the second half. “We just didn’t have the same intensity or work rate and basically, we

chased bums in the second half. “The positive is that we are not far away, but with a tough month coming up, it puts us back to the pack a bit,” he said. To make matters worse for the Panthers, it appears star Beau Miller may have torn his ACL, which would be season ending. He came off at the ten

“Although we were belted by Dromana, we still had almost 30 scoring shots and played some really good footy. “Improvement is all we can ask for,” said Cadd. For the Magpies, that’s two losses in a row. Hastings’ season is over after going down to Somerville by 24 points, 14.6 (90) to 8.18 (66). The Eagles’ jumped the visitors in the opening quarter and led by 20 points at quarter time. Even without coach David Hirst, the Eagles got an even contribution yet again with the likes of seasoned campaigners Stephen Crowe, Luke Collie and Timmy Hirst dominating. Brad Rowe was also very good, Justin Farrelly was back from a shoulder injury and Jake Ryan continues to play consistently good football. The Blues had good service from arguably its best two players in Justin Berry and Brendan Dunne, while Dale Alanis played his best game for the club. In the final game of the round, Frankston Bombers overcame a slow start to best Tyabb 20.17 (137) to 14.11 (95). Zac Longham booted five goals for the winners while Jay Reynolds and James Degenhardt dominated. Jake Anderson kicked four for the Yabbies and Rohan West three while they also collected the top votes.

minute mark of the second quarter. “We get Brian Wapshot and Billy Hayes back next week but it’s another big test against Dromana,” said Clinnick. Pearcedale led from start to finish to record its best win for the season against Crib Point, winning 22.10 (142) to 16.20 (116). The Dales’ stars fired with Dylan Hoare getting a heap of the footy, Pat Cadd continuing his superb season and Patty Heijden playing his best game for the year with seven goals. Basil Sibasado also dominated once again with five majors, while teenagers Gordan Waterfall, Lachy Marshall and Aidan Simmons were first rate. Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd said it was a nice feeling having a win. “It was great to play a game of footy with plenty of enthusiasm,” said Cadd. “The boys were really up for the challenge and great belief in themselves that they could win the game. “We’ve played ten first gamers this season and at different times, some have done really well and others not so much. “On Saturday, everything clicked for them and they made a really good contribution. “The kids continue to improve and although there is some inconsistency, as long as we see them improve we’ll continue to get better as a team. “Hopefully the group now understands the levels we need to reach to be competitive and win games of footy.

Humbled Pies slump to defeat CRIB POINT FNC

By Hoos Verstaapen THE Tractor Park hoodoo continued for Crib Point as they slumped to their second consecutive loss against a committed Pearcedale unit. Pearcedale came to play early and made the most of some early poor disposal to jump the Magpies by four goals in the opening 10 minutes and they held their lead all day. At no stage did Crib Point look like winning the game as the Pearcedale lead fluctuated between 3-6 goals throughout the day. Despite flashes of form consecutive goals and fluid ball movement was hard to come by and many players were well down on their best football. Pearcedale managed to stop the ball movement where it counted and put enough pressure on the Pies throughout the ground to affect their disposal. Luke Herrington was a clear-cut best afield with four goals. Beau Monty gave a lot on the wing/half forward to finish with four goals himself. Brad Arnold toiled hard but aside from that you would be hard pressed finding winners on the park for the Magpies. Pearcedale ran out easy winners, 22.10 (142) to 16.20 (116). It’s not ‘rocket science’, if you don’t bring your best footy in Nepean you will get your pants

pulled down by your opposition. In contrast the reserves were brilliant, winning their 3rd consecutive game of the season with an 80-point win over Pearcedale. In another even performance across the park, the reserves held steady and used the football well and put Pearcedale under pressure when they didn’t have the ball. The belief among the group continues to rise with each performance and the little undisciplined acts that were on show earlier in the year are disappearing and effort and input is more consistent. Quite a few players staked their claim for senior selection including James Forecast with a best on ground performance off the back flank. With some other performances giving coach Annable quite a few options to look at throughout the year as he manages the senior team throughout the year. The under 18s put in a pretty solid showing against one of the top teams in Nepean on Saturday to go down by 26 points. It was arguably one of their best performances for the year as they took it right up to a team that’s going to play finals later this year. Juppa Rutherford has the team playing improved football every week and with continued effort, the expectation around the club is that the lads will continue to improve as the season progresses and maybe add a couple more wins as the colder months kick in.
