Ellis about to ship out WHILE hundreds of sailors spend their days honing skills that will enable them to fit in with the requirement of life in the Royal Australian Navy, another recruit is just about to line up for his passing out parade.

Ellis, a potential seeing eye dog, has reached the end of his first stage of training.

He has been guided along his path forward by Andrew Thorburn, chaplain at HMAS Cerberus.

Declared fit further training by Vision Australia, Ellis is awaiting his new posting.

“The family knows this and is preparing for the sad day when we bid farewell. It’ll be a big wrench and my six-year-old son has shed a few tears,” Chaplain Thorburn said.

And Ellis? He faces up to 15 months more training before graduation.

Burglar flees after punch-up Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THERE’S only so much a red-blooded Aussie male will cop – and that doesn’t include finding a bloke inside robbing his house when he gets home from the shops.

That’s the situation Shoreham carpenter Jack Male found himself in early on Saturday morning when he arrived back to find the unwelcome visitor.

Able to laugh about it yesterday, Mr Male, 27, said he and the burglar stopped dead in their tracks when they came face to face with each other.

Mr Male noted that his short, wiry, adversary – aged 25-30, lightly built with brown hair – was carrying a baseball bat. But neither had much time to think before the action started.

“I had no hesitation in tackling him; I just saw red,” Mr Male said. “We were fighting inside briefly before I dragged him outside and grabbed the bat off

him and threw it into the paddock.

“I had him in a headlock for a good five minutes and managed to call 000 while he was trying to get away and we ended up in Tucks Rd. “I thought we were on our own but then I noticed a car – an XTrail – with another guy in it and he started to come at me, trying to run me down, but I ducked out of the way and he missed me. I thought, ‘I’ve got to be on my wits here, there’s two of them’.

and they tried to reverse back into me but missed me again. Then they were away.”

Mr Male, who has lived at the property two years, lost a $160 iPod and a laptop in the raid which is being investigated by Hastings CIU. Leading Detective Senior Constable Nick Sweetman said the aggravated burglary was the third carried out by the men early on Saturday morning, judging by their method and approach and witnesses’ descriptions.

Other raids were at houses in Kentucky Rd, Merricks, where they allegedly stole a motor bike, a “postie” bike, surfboards, boogie board and other items valued at $2000, and at Browne Rd, Red Hill, where they stole power and other tools from a garage.

The men’s getaway car, a late model, champagne-coloured Nissan XTrail, has a number plates starting with SHU. Anyone with information can call Detective Sweetman on 5970 7800 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

NEWS DESK Check burn plans PENINSULA residents can see online the state government’s 2015-16 fire operations plan, which identifies proposed actions to reduce fire risk.

The plan will be online until it is finalised in late September. It is part of a “three-year rolling plan to reduce bushfire risk this coming summer and beyond�, said Dan White of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Not ready yet: The Somerville police complex was still a work in progress last week. Picture: Gary Sissons

Police centre nears completion Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE new Somerville police complex – not to be confused with a police “station� – is nearing completion but neither police nor contractors could set a finish date last week.

The $16.3 million two-storey building has been dogged with controversy since its inception over fears it would strip front-line police from stations on the southern peninsula and that it will not be open to the public.

An intense public meeting attended by 150 people at Rosebud public hall in October was told by Police Association secretary Ron Iddles and president

John Laird that the complex should operate as an operational police station rather than “being filled with specialists�.

Their concerns were that residents would have to travel to Mornington or Hastings to see police.

Mornington MP David Morris, deputy of a parliamentary public accounts and estimates committee, which assessed the new complex, told The News in June: “If you happen to live in Somerville, you need to drive to Mornington or Hastings to get police advice or police assistance, even though there is a brand-new $16.3 million police station in Somerville. “Not unnaturally, the Somerville

community are not particularly happy about that. I think it would almost have to be the first brand-new police station to open without access to the public in the entire history of this state.�

While the building at the corner of Eramosa Rd West and Coolart Rd does not have a front counter – which would require manning by four full-time officers – it will be staffed by police whose office presence is regarded as secondary to their field work.

Detective Inspector Shayne Pannell, who was local area commander at the time the new centre was mooted, will be in charge. Attending a site meeting on Thursday, he said it was never envisaged that police on-the-beat would

be moved to the new 90-plus-staff headquarters.

Rather, it will be home to highway patrol units now based at Rosebud, Hastings and Carrum Downs, and crime investigation units at Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud, with parking for 24 police cars. “The complex will provide state-ofthe-art crime scene facilities, such as garages, hoists and equipment, and the combination of skills from different departments all in the one office will help us provide a strong divisional response,� Inspector Pannell said. “There will not be counter service as such but, if people have an appointment, they will be granted access.�

Man dies alone in house fire A SHOREHAM man living alone died in a house fire early on Saturday morning. Leading Detective Senior Constable Nick Sweetman, of Hastings CIU, said the fire in the May St house appears to have burned itself out before being noticed by neighbours.

He said the cause of the fire was not suspicious and may have been a discarded cigarette.

No brigades attended.

The 55-year-old man may have died of smoke inhalation. He was found by a friend who visited on Sunday morning and noticed soot on the window sills. His body was in a sitting room adjacent to where the fire started.

Detective Sweetman said neighbours had not seen or heard the fire.

A report is being prepared for the coroner.

Breast screen rate WOMEN in the region aged between 50 and 74 years are being encouraged to attend a breast screening centre to increase the participation rate.

Recent Breast Screen Victoria data shows a participation rate of 54 per cent, the state average, but well short of BSV’s target of 70 per cent.

The figures were released last week by local MP David Morris, who has promoted screening for several years.

“No doctor’s referral is required to make an appointment at centres in Frankston and Rosebud. Screenings are free and easy to access,” he said.

“It is important women of every age get screenings every two years.”

Appointments can be booked online at breastscreen.org.au or by calling 13 20 50.w

Hakan Girgin, one of the Australian Coast Guard volunteers who will be out rattling cans for donations on Saturday 29 August.

Rattling for a cause HASTINGS and Frankston volunteer coast guard members are calling for change – loose change that is …

They will be rattling collection cans on Saturday 29 August at the intersection of South Gippsland Highway and Sladen St, Cranbourne.

“This is an integral part of the coast guard’s fundraising efforts, as the funds collected go towards the operations of the flotilla,” Tom Brauner, fundraising officer for the Frankston

Flotilla of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard, said.

“The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard is a volunteer organisation operating 24/7 which heavily depends on community support to continue providing vital education for the boating community.

“We guard the coast in the most effective way: by education, example, examination, and, finally, by search and rescue.”

Councillors ‘working too hard’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE granting of medical leave to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Lynn Bowden last week has sparked claims councillors are under too much pressure and operating in a stressful, unhealthy environment.

Last week Cr Bowden was given leave after suffering a health scare that her husband Ron Bowden, a former state MP, says may have been caused by work stress when he spoke to The News last Thursday night.

Cr Graham Pittock had earlier told The News that councillors were operating in “an unhealthy environment” and had too much work. “We’re expected to read vast amounts of information; it’s getting out of hand,” he said.

The claims may attract cynical responses from the community but councillors have experienced major stress levels in recent times due to:  Residual bad blood from the brutal aquatic centre debacle that raged for three years with the two factions of council barely able to talk to each other.  Dumping long-time CEO Michael Kennedy and appointing Carl Cowie, who has retrenched senior managers and started profound changes in the organisation with more to come. Morale among shire staff has been battered by the departure of long-time employees, and councillors have been partly blamed for the rapid change.  Controversial and divisive major planning issues such as the Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift – which was

decided by just one vote last year – and RACV’s proposed resort at Cape Schanck, which councillors refused to vote on, fearing they would be charged with conflict of interest as some were members of the RACV Club.

Rumours about Cr Bowden have been swirling around for months after the Bowdens bought a holiday house in Perth but the claim that she had been “commuting” between the peninsula and Perth was scotched by Mr Bowden late last week.

“We spent three weeks in Perth in late January before the council resumed after the summer break and have not been back since and have no plans to return,” he said. “My wife has had two serious chest infections since then, which included a stay at Frankston Hospital.”

He said she was a lifelong asthmatic.

Mr Bowden said Cr Bowden had been working very hard – up to 60 hours a week – under pressure. She had become ill recently and doctors thought she had suffered a small stroke but test revealed this was not the case but her condition remained undiagnosed and more tests were being done.

“She is her normal self; bright and alert, walking and talking but has been advised to take it easy so the symptoms do not return,” he said.

Mr Bowden said councillors had an abnormally high work load in recent times.

Cr Bowden has missed seven of the past 14 council meetings including two at the start of the year, two in

July. For one she was in Canberra for a local government conference.

On Friday afternoon, the shire announced on its website that Cr Bowden had been granted leave of absence “from August 10 until October 10 due to medical reasons”.

“Watson Ward residents can direct

inquiries to 5950 1428 or via email councillor.support@mornpen.vic.gov. au during Cr Bowden’s absence. Nepean Ward councillor Hugh Fraser is also available to assist Watson Ward residents and ratepayers during this period.”

April, and three between mid-July and last week when she was ill and spent several days in Frankston Hospital.

Cr Pittock has missed three meetings this year, two in March and one in May when he was on holidays interstate or overseas. The Dromana resident recently represented the shire in Ireland at his own expense when he visited Dromana House in County Waterford for the 800th anniversary, keeping alive the loose connection between the two Dromanas.

Councillors Andrew Dixon, Hugh Fraser, Tim Wood, David Gibb and Anne Shaw have all missed one meeting this year, mostly through illness, and the mayor Cr Bev Colomb has missed two meetings, in May and

MOST Victorian councillors are diligent and attend dozens of meetings and briefings each year.

Our elected representatives are required by law to not miss four council meetings in a row unless they have obtained formal leave of absence, which can be approved by their colleagues in cases such as illness or injury.

The shire council has had a good attendance record in recent years although recent absences have seen more councillors missing meetings than usual.

In late 2013, former Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin took extended leave because of illness.

He was absent for more than six months before resigning and forcing a by-election last August when retired County Court judge Tim Wood was elected.

Further afield, Kingston councillor John Ronke, an 18-year council veteran, attended nine of 21 meetings last year including four

of 11 so-called ordinary council meetings (OCMs), the main meeting of councils.

He blamed illness for missing most but said he chopped the top off a thumb with a power saw, which caused him to miss one OCM. Three years ago Pinar Yesil, a Greater Dandenong councillor and Victoria’s first Muslim mayor (200809), was booted off the council after missing four consecutive meetings when she was in Turkey for more than a month dealing with “urgent family health issues” and had not obtained formal leave of absence.

Ms Yesil migrated to Australia from Turkey as a teenager and was a rising star in the ALP. Ironically, during her term as mayor, Ms Yesil implemented a charter to make councillors more accountable to the community by publishing monthly expenses and attendance reports online.

Teaching a new dog new tricks A TRAINEE with four legs has been attracting attention where ever he goes at HMAS Cerberus.

It’s hard not to notice Ellis, the 13-monthold Labrador, who is nearing the end of his guide dog training at the Navy training school under the fond, but firm, guidance of Chaplain Andrew Thorburn.

The chaplain volunteered to take Ellis early this year, saying it was something his family had wanted to do for a long time, and that being posted to HMAS Cerberus had made the task possible.

“Having a dog in training on a training base fits in well,” he said. “Interacting with Ellis is a morale booster for a lot of our people as many have left much-loved pets behind to come and do their training.”

Chaplain Thorburn said Ellis had taken to his recruit training “like a chaplain takes to prayer”.

But, like anyone learning new skills, a major challenge is keeping the pup focused on his role among all the other distractions of a busy naval base.

“Being comfortable around people, vehicles, wildlife - he is said to like ducks -while being able to concentrate on his job, is the main aim,” Chaplain Thorburn said.

“The more experiences he has in different environments the better.

“Ellis is very cute and people naturally want to say ‘hello’, but when he has his blue jacket on he’s in working dog mode and is off limits to smooching and pats.

Although it often takes great restraint from people, he essentially needs to be ignored.

“When the jacket is off, he’s fair game

for a bit of love and attention.”

Ellis came from a litter bred to undergo training with Vision Australia and all his brothers and sisters were given names starting with ‘E’. “Elvis had already been taken,” quipped Chaplain Thorburn.

As future working dogs, their stays with host families inevitably come to an end.

Ellis has been assessed and declared “fit for further training” by Vision Australia and his time at the base is limited.

“We know we will get the call soon,” Chaplain Thorburn said.

“The family knows this and is preparing for the sad day when we bid farewell. It’ll be a big wrench and my six-year-old son has shed a few tears.”

Ellis will then start another 12-15 months of rigorous seeing-eye dog training, which has a 44 per cent failure rate. Chaplain Thorburn has faith that his mate has what it takes to make it all the way and he’s pleased his family could help.

“We think of this phase as his recruit training before he moves on to his category training. He’s very smart, willing to learn and has a lot of loyalty to give.”

Nightlife: Sugar gliders, above, and ringtail possums, below, are just two of the animals being recorded in the Western Port Biosphere’s animal survey.

Biosphere counting on animals ANIMALS are about to come under scrutiny in northern parts of Western Port.

The Western Port Biosphere is recruiting residents of Yaringa, Cannons Creek, Warneet and Blind Bight to join in an animal survey which starts this month.

“We need baseline data about what animals are living in this area,” biosphere executive officer Cecelia Witton said.

“Residents of this area can help us with this important work by recording what native and pest animals they see on their properties and in neighbouring areas.”

Using motion sensing cameras in reserves the biosphere has already built a record of birds, wallabies, echidnas and possums as well as foxes, dogs and cats and now wants to extend its range of data by including observations by residents.

Information about native and pest animals is used to develop pest animal control programs and the animal survey is part of the biosphere’s work as a

partner in the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority’s “Protecting the ecological values of the Western Port Ramsar site” project.

Liberals remain divided on same-sex marriage Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au DEEP divisions within the Liberal Party over the legalisation of samesex marriage have been mirrored in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula with local federal Liberal MPs Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt at odds on the contentious subject.

Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt declined to be publicly outed as a supporter of same-sex marriage when asked by The News whether he supports its legalisation.

Mr Hunt was coy last week about his stance on the issue despite being named as “a same-sex marriage supporter” in recent months by the The Australian and The Age newspapers and the ABC. Rather than answer the question Mr Hunt directed electorate office staff to refer The News to comments he made to David Speers on Sky News last Wednesday (12 August), the day after Liberal and National MPs spent six hours locked in behind closed doors talks to formulate a Coalition policy on the legalisation of same-sex marriage.

“I had a particular preference and that didn’t come about,” Mr Hunt said in the Sky News interview.

Mr Hunt’s refusal to publicly declare his opinion on same-sex marriage is the second time in as many months that the Coalition frontbencher has not answered a direct question from The News about his views on the matter.

Early last month Mr Hunt said he supported “a free vote (a conscience vote)” taking place whereby all federal Liberal MPs would be allowed to vote based on individual views rather than

The at odds couple: Liberal cabinet colleagues Bruce Billson, left, and Greg Hunt, pictured on Mr Hunt’s 500km sponsored Walk for Autism last month, favour different paths on the legalisation of same-sex marriage debate.

Dunkley against SSM?

along party lines (‘Same-sex marriage views differ’, The News 7/7/15).

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a long-time opponent of the legalisation of same-sex marriage, is understood to have stared down any party room suggestions for a free vote for Liberal MPs and instead favours a national plebiscite or referendum if the government wins a second term.

Dunkley MP and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson is on ‘Team Abbott’ with regards to same-sex marriage, telling The News he backed the Coalition’s policy of “maintaining the current definition of marriage” since this was “the undertaking given by the Coalition and many other members of parliament going into the last election”.

“I believe and understand that people should be able to love the adult their heart wants them to love,” Mr Billson said.

“There are very genuine strongly held yet diametrically opposed views on same sex marriage in most communities, including ours. These differing, heartfelt views expressed to me by members of the community were also reflected during the respectful

six hour meeting held with my Liberal and National colleagues.”

Mr Billson favours “the formal recognition of same sex relationships” and said “going to a process after the next election that puts the question [on legalising same-sex marriage] to the people enables all individuals to have their say”.

His cabinet colleague Mr Hunt also tried to maintain a positive front about divisions within the Coalition, telling Sky News: “I like deeply the idea of Australians and every Australian having the opportunity to participate in a grand democratic action.”

While the federal Liberal Party squabbles internally over the legalisation of same-sex marriage, Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten has vowed to enact legislation to legalise same-sex marriage within 100 days of Labor winning government.

Mr Shorten and Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus attended a marriage equality rally in Melbourne on Saturday (15 August) and the opposition leader said Labor would follow the likes of the UK and the US and legalise same-sex marriage without a plebiscite or referendum.

THE majority of voters who have expressed an opinion on same-sex marriage to Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson oppose its legalisation according to the Small Business Minister.

While appearing on ABC 774’s Drive show last Wednesday (12 August) Mr Billson claimed correspondence to his electorate office suggested most Dunkley electorate residents want to keep the existing definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.

“I know in my electorate, two to one is the number that want the definition left the way it is,” Mr Billson told Drive show host Rafael Epstein.

A “caller Steve from Frankston” subsequently challenged Mr Billson live on air and asked the Dunkley MP to substantiate the claim.

Mr Billson said the statistic was arrived at from “emails, correspondence and calls to my office from my electorate”.

When contacted by The News on Friday last week Mr Billson revealed there have been 634 calls and emails to his office on the subject of same-sex marriage with 105 supporting samesex marriage and 529 “for maintaining the status quo”.

“It appears I had actually been understating the views expressed by saying publicly in the past it was more than two to one, when in fact it appears to be six one,” Mr Billson said.

The caller from Frankston who challenged Mr Billson on ABC radio last week is Steve Toms, a Labor Party member and marriage equality advocate, who introduced himself to Mr Billson and fellow Drive show guest federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus as being “familiar to both Mark and Bruce”.

Hives of activity to protect bees Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Hive watch: Bees swarm around one of the sentinel hives at Western Port.

Picture: Keith Platt

WHILE the federal government spends billions of dollars preventing asylum seekers and refugees from landing on Australian soil, the Victorian government has recruited thousands of unpaid workers to stem the predicted tide of voracious hordes from Asia.

Although Operation Sovereign Borders carries out the government’s turnback-the-boats policy the state government’s keep out the mites program depends on the humble bumblebee.

If the bees are unable to detect an invasion a $90 million a year industry is threatened.

The federal government has never quite spelt out what is under threat if asylum seekers and refugees are allowed to land in Australia before their bon fides are checked.

The Andrews Labor government last week announced a new line of defence was being established from Flinders to Somerville to check for unwanted boat arrivals.

A series of sentinel beehives are in place to watch the Western Port coast for the varroa mite, which could be brought ashore by Asian bees, which have stowed away on ships heading to Crib Point and Hastings.

If they gain a foothold, the mites could devastate the domestic honey market.

Six sentinel hives and four swarm catch boxes have been set up under the National Bee Pest Surveillance Program. The sentinel hives are checked every six weeks, with any mites on bees

sticking to sticky strips hung between wax brood combs. Samples are then sent to government entomologists for assessment.

The swarm catch boxes are monitored daily by landholders. Any bee swarms found near the port, but not in catch boxes, are sampled and destroyed.

In the year to May, five swarms were detected in catch boxes, including one at Hastings.

Other methods of detecting infected bees include sweep netting of flowers near ports using butterfly nets. Another is the sugar shake program involving 187 mainly hobbyist beekeepers who monitor their hives for varroa mite three times a year.

A sample of 300 bees from a hive is shaken with a tablespoon of icing sugar which causes any of the reddish-brown mites to fall off bees where they can be easily seen against the white icing sugar.

The government says the state’s honey industry also contributes to the pollination of up to $6 billion worth of crops.

Agriculture minister Jaala Pulford said the sentinel bee hives “look simple but they play a critical role in safeguarding this multi-million dollar industry from exotic pests and diseases”.

“With more than 4000 registered bee keepers in Victoria it is critical they get the right information to help keep their hives free of pests and diseases – that’s why the Australian Beekeeping guide is such an important resource.”

Moorooduc beekeeper John Winkels said up to 80 per cent of bees would die in the first year if the varroa mite established itself in Victoria.

“We are the last bastion in the world

against the mite and there’s not been enough effort to stop it,” he said.

“If it came, we would need to double our workforce to combat its effects – and we’ve been trying to get ready for 20 years.”

After a mite incursion, he said pollination fees would rise, as would the cost of food production – with the now $80 hives costing up to $200 after widespread infestation.

However, a serious mite infestation would not spell the end of the industry, Mr Winkels said.

“It’s not all negative. We would need to import breeding bees that have developed antibodies against varroa but, of course, they would be more expensive and there’s the risk they would bring in other diseases.

“It would become more efficient but more expensive.”

He said New Zealand bee populations had survived and honey production was now rising since a crash in 2000 when 80 per cent of the bee population died.

The feral hives have gone and the industry is reportedly “better managed”.

“The NZ industry has never looked back since they got varroa,” Mr Winkels said.

But the timing of a mite invasion is crucial: “We need to know when it is coming.”

Referring to Victoria’s $500 million almond industry centred on Robinvale and Mildura, Mr Winkels said: “If it comes before the pollination season it could mean a whole crop failure. If there are no bees, there will be no crop and that would be a huge cost to the state’s economy.” with Keith Platt

Breakfast talks by two

Breaking out: Pop punk band Day Break will headline the 2015 Freeza Push Start Battle of the Bands at Mornington.

TWO speakers will entertain guests at the Somerville Tyabb Rotary Business Breakfast on Wednesday 26 August.

Eliza Anthony, of Communities That Care, will speak on “Instilling community values of harmony, respect and safety into our youth population”, and Ralph Kenyon, of Chisholm Institute - Western Port Connect, will speak on “Providing funded scholarships for those at disadvantage enabling them to further their education and thus improve their work prospects”.

All are invited to meet, mix and mingle with likeminded people in this local business community event.

They should bring along business cards and brochures for the display table and prepare a quick 60 second intro about themselves and their business - one of the key features of this and every breakfast event.

The breakfast will be held 7am for 7.15am start to 8.15am, Tilly’s at Tyabb (formerly Orchard Bistro Café), 1552 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Tyabb. Tickets $10 per head which includes breakfast and tea or coffee.

Top End ties banish on-field boos

By David Quinn* THIS month marks 40 years since Prime Minister Gough Whitlam ran soil through the hands of Vincent Lingiari stating: “I want to acknowledge that we Australians still have much to do to redress the injustice and oppression that has for so long been the lot of Black Australians”. Whitlam then added: “This land will be the possession of you and your children forever.”

In reply, with trust implicit in Whitlam’s pledge, the softly-spoken elder decreed: “Now we can all be mates”.

It is now August 2015 and the question is raised - are we mates? Have we fulfilled the promise of optimism and hope that were so evident in Vincent Lingiari’s words?

There are two groups of primary school-aged children, separated by four thousand kilometres of red dust and eucalypts, who definitely are mates. They are children who have learned to respect each other’s upbringing and outlook on life. Who appreciate that it is OK to be different and that it is important to be nonjudgemental. Who have an optimistic sense for the future and would want what is best for each other.

These children call themselves Wugubank. One group belongs to Penbank, an independent primary school at Moorooduc. This school, like many others, espouses tolerance, kindness and an appreciation of the natural environment. It is a school where children are challenged in their thinking to be inclusive of all, and to be grateful for the beautiful country in which they are privileged to live.

People are valued, no matter what their nationality, race or colour. But none more so than their friends in the second group, who just happen to be first Australians from the Wugularr School in the Northern Territory.

Some time ago, Penbank’s head of campus envisioned a more authentic educative approach to our children’s learning and understanding of indigenous culture. A conversation began with leaders from the Wugularr community in western Arnhem Land, considered to be remote, 90 minutes south-east of Katherine.

From this conversation an idea was born to bring a group of indigenous kids to the Mornington Peninsula for a week. Although this initial trip brought significant challenges, not the least being the cold southern weather, it was obvious that the experiences shared between the children were inspirational.

A return visit by the Penbank children to the Top End was a “non-

negotiable”; it had to be undertaken.

The school has now completed six such visits. Each sojourn grows in stature and enjoyment. The two communities, thousands of kilometres apart, openly offer their hearts and homes to the visitors from afar.

Shared experiences have led to strong bonds of friendship, for children and adults. It is a cherished, trusting relationship.

Over the past fortnight, 44 of Penbank’s years 5 and 6 pupils, along with adult helpers, engaged in the routines and delights of community life in the Northern Territory.

Corroborees were danced and there was group singing at the community’s Walking With Spirits music festival, swimming and fishing in the Waterhouse River. Elders explained rock art and dreamtime stories associated with various animals and artefacts, there was a cruise on the Katherine River at Nitmiluk which helped explain the importance of the landscape to the Jawoyn people.

When it came time to say “boh, boh” (farewell) the Penbank pupils reflected on what they had experienced and learned. Apart from the obvious fun that was had, deeper emotions of understanding and sadness emerged.

We saw first-hand how these people are so connected to their land, their country. It is pivotal to their feeling of self-worth, their identity. We witnessed the strength of family ties, particularly at corroboree where we

saw inter-generational participation.

Our children said they had learned the importance of “sharing, not having”. We obtained a glimpse of the very deep understanding that our first Australians have of the unfolding of the seasons and the signs of life and growth that accompany each change.

We learned how to look for and find bush tucker, how to wash ourselves with bush soap and how to stuff our pillows with bush cotton! We were made acutely aware how crucial it is to listen to your elders and heed their advice. Indigenous culture decrees that it is not about “me and my”, it is about “we and us”.

But most of all we learned that these children are our friends, and always will be.

Children thirst for knowledge. They also delight in imaginative creativity.

From our indigenous friends we learn how these aspects are combined in the power, wonder and magic of storytelling. Their law tells them the right way to live. It teaches them discipline, how to live peacefully and how to care for the land. If the land is looked after properly, the land will feed and protect them. How to live in harmony.

We now wish to find out more of this amazing culture. Who are the indigenous heroes? What tales of exploration and endeavour can be told from past millennia. How is it that rock art drawings in Arnhem Land accurately depict the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger)? Our children loved the

open expression of creativity through dance, movement and song. We were enthralled with the pure beauty of the country. Most of all, we were charmed by the warmth so obviously displayed in the gatherings of the people.

As educators involved in such a positive, potentially life-changing program for young people, what to make of the furore involving Adam Goodes on our return to Melbourne?

Instinctively, a first response is that it just not fair, or kind, to treat any person in such a manner.

If the core of the issue is related to deep-seated, subconscious feelings of racism, then the saddening reality is that we have a major problem.

It falls to our leaders, of all pursuits, to engage in re-imagining how we view indigenous culture; what do we truly know of it and what appreciation do we have. No doubt, education will be a key in transforming viewpoints and understandings. But it must be informed with, and by, indigenous voices.

By example, our first Australians belong to the oldest, living continuous culture on Earth. In a time when the United States’ President Obama is declaring that climate change is the greatest challenge that our planet faces, it is worth noting that our first peoples have lived through, and survived, catastrophic climate change in the past 10,000 years. Would it not be ironic if we eventually turned to our indigenous elders to seek advice as to how to survive the next catastrophe?

There is a view that we are what we teach our children. If that is the case, let’s hope that the children are right in their thinking – that they have a positive mindset for the future and are informed, non-judgemental and appreciative of the wonder of the world that surrounds them.

In our minds, indigenous culture is a life force which should be celebrated, praised and looked upon with immense pride. There is so much that we can learn from our friends.

At Penbank we look upon our experiences with the Wugubank partnership as a pebble being dropped into the calm waters of a pond. The ripple effect of that pebble being dropped is resonating through our whole school community.

Our children are inspiring their immediate and extended families to learn more of their friends’ way of life; to appreciate and embrace a civilisation like no other.

In our endeavours we are not trying to change the world. We see our efforts as but one small action in the process that we hope will lead to authentic reconciliation. Above all, hopefully with Vincent Lingiari’s blessings, we are mates and will continue to be so.

We can say, with surety, that our children at Penbank would never boo an indigenous Australian. * David Quin is a teacher at the Woodleigh School’s Penbank campus.

LETTERS Return the plan There have been statements made by Cr Tim Rodgers and letters to the editor regarding the state government’s decision to cancel the contract of the inappropriate development of Point Nepean relating to paying out contracts.

It should be remembered that Parks Victoria under the previous Labor government had a well-developed tourist accommodation plan which was to provide for upkeep and sustainable management of the park This would have incurred considerable cost to taxpayers when cancelled by the Liberal government and may have been in excess of $1,000,000.

Hopefully, that plan will be reinstated for the benefit of the people of Victoria and flora and fauna, rather than private developers As for developer’s promises, the Melbourne Maritime Museum as part of the Southbank development was to be half as big again as the old site (as promised by developers)and ended up only half the original size, resulting in the loss of Victoria ‘s expansive maritime history There also appears to be an undercurrent that anyone who has environmental concerns is some sort of eccentric.

There are many who want to leave our planet ‘s natural world for future generations to enjoy John Trewarne, Rye

Who’s in charge?

If there was any doubt as to who is in control of the state government’s policy in respect of Victorian national parks, Chris Smyth’s recent letter on behalf the Victorian National Parks Association categorically confirms that it is not the government (“Point planning”, Letters 11/8/15).

I found it extraordinary that Mr Smyth was able to make specific reference to a clause in a contract that it is not a party to. Assuming the Point Leisure Group did not provide a the VNPA with a copy of its contract with the state, you must therefore come to the conclusion that it was the environment minister that chose to do this as, from my research, the contract is

plan that will see Team Australia maintain its position on the emissions reduction ladder.

As we are near the very bottom of the ladder, I’m not sure they have grasped the fundamentals of team leadership or responsibility. Do they understand this game at all? The answer seems to be “no”. On an individual player basis we are currently the worst in the league for emissions and coach Hunt’s plan seems to be to improve our individual performance until we are worst in the world.

Coach Hunt isn’t up to the job and Chair Abbott is caught in the past – and not just in respect of emissions reduction. Mr Abbott’s stance on changes to equality tennis and his insistence that Team Australia field teams only in the mixed doubles is sadly out of touch. His continued promotion of the use of coal supplements to enhance Team Australia’s performance has caught the eye of the international community and could see us banned from the competition.

To avoid Team Australia’s relegation to the amateurs, it is time to sack the coach and chair and replace the board at the next AGM. Greg Gilbert, Mt Eliza

Misleading debate currently not publicly available. So why would the state government do this unless it wanted the VNPA to assume control of developing its policy position for Point Nepean.

With Mr Smyth being categoric that the VNPA sees no role for the private development in the restoration of the historic Quarantine Station, you have to wonder whether a revised Point Nepean master plan will include any commercially invested and operated accommodation and associated facilities, if the final decision for any proposed commercial activity within Point Nepean rests with the VNPA. Perhaps the tail has wagged the dog on this issue so vigorously, it has managed to make the body of the dog completely irrelevant or perhaps even redundant.

Stuart Allen, Dromana

More than a game I was disappointed, but not surprised, by Team Australia’s press conference last Tuesday outlining our game plan for the Emissions Reduction Cup in Paris later this year. But one must at least acknowledge coach Greg Hunt’s impressive use of graphics – colour and movement can be a handy distraction at times, particularly when you have little to say or are delivering bad news.

It was pleasing to see Team Australia chair Tony Abbott there, as he has previously told us he didn’t really think Team Australia needed to participate in this international event.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right. Coach Hunt and Team Australia chair Tony Abbott are very happy with our current performance and have a

I quote two recent examples of where we have been deliberately misled with respect to the climate debate and the mad rush to ship our coal deposits overseas.

In the case of the Shenhua waterworks project on the Liverpool Plains, there is even confusion over the interpretation of words, such as ‘’ flood plain” and clauses containing “unlikely”.

[Flinders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt talked over the top of Graham Richardson during an interview. The minister kept repeating that he had placed the strictest conditions ever placed on any company against damage to the water table.

We all know that the coal companies could take the agreements to court and argue for years about the wording, as exampled above.

No amount of compensation could repair the salinity damage should it occur to the water table,

Western Port News 18 August 2015

New app connecting teachers and schools A SMART new app connecting casual relief teachers and schools has recently been launched in Melbourne’s south-east.

The EzStaff app has been developed by Mornington Peninsula IT teacher, Evan Rutherford. The app enables teachers to create a personalised profile that is instantly visible to a wide range of schools, to dictate their own availability through an online calendar, and to decide how far they wish to travel to and from work. The EzStaff app then automatically scans teacher’s calendars and only the profiles of available CRT’S on the day become visible to schools. School managers view these profiles, match the skills and experience of the teacher to their needs and book their teacher quickly, without cost.

As a relief teacher manager, Evan saw the need for the app after becoming frustrated with the early morning ‘ring around’ to find teacher replacements. He also wanted to create a resource that was sympathetic to the needs of both schools and teachers.

“That is why there is no charge for schools to register and use the EzStaff app. Registration is also free to CRT’s and there is only a nominal charge payable on acceptance of a confirmed booking which enables us to operate EzStaff,” said Evan. “The initial response from schools and teachers has been very encouraging with a growing number of schools and teachers registering to join the EzStaff Community”.

Patrika Rowley, Deputy Principal at St. Joseph’s School Sorrento, says that, “EzStaff has been a great relief for me in organising CRT’s at our school. It is always tricky to get good relief teachers down here and this tool will save me time and money”.

Schools and CRT’s wishing to register or find out more can go to www.EzStaff.com.au

even if the government was awarded damages.

“It will never happen”. This last week the Linc Energy project on the Darling Downs has been shown responsible for polluting the subsoil, contaminating water and land with toxic gases.

The company, clearly, had no control over the fires it started in the coal seams in order to produce diesel. Once started, the fires could never be extinguished as we know from tourist attractions such as Burning Mounting in Towarri National Park (burning for the past 6000 years).

I am furious that our federal and some state governments are playing Indian roulette with my grandchildren’s future.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Wages penalty From my view eliminating penalty rates will lead to lower wages for already the lowest paid workers, women and students.

I don’t believe it will necessarily mean more people employed. The money will be pocketed by the employers and not extra employment.

I remember when so-called equal pay was first mooted, the detractors said the life we knew was going to be a disaster. All these years later some women are still not getting equal pay for equal work. If the outcome of the Productivity Commission’s recent report on Australia’s workplace relations framework is implemented, the net result will be lower wages and fewer commodities sold.

What do most low income people do with their wages? Spend. Not only on necessities of life but, if there’s any extra, they buy cloths, books and reduce their HEC’s fees.

When is there going to be an inquiry into the excesses of CEOs who, in my opinion, are over paid for the job they do even if the company they are in charge of is not making its way, suc as Australia Post.

While running a B&B I had the privilege of having a former CEO of Woolworths stay who told me his salary was based on being not more than 10 times that of the company’s lowest paid worker.

When are the banks, local governments and,

dare I say, parliamentarians, going to work seven days or perhaps nights, for no extra pay?

We have over recent weeks seen how the age of entitlement is alive and well for the hoy ploy.

I also remember when seven day a week trading was introduced and how that was going increase productivity and more jobs. I am sure if there was a review it also would be a proved a fallacy.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Of boats and unions I read with interest (“Liberal airing”, Letters 11/8/15) the opinions of Ken Dyer, who talks about the fact of how many asylum seekers died (877 souls under the Labor government’s watch).

Ken then goes on to complain that the Liberal government is wrong in turning back the boats.

What is the fact about how many asylum seekers have drowned since the Liberal government stopped the boats from arriving here? Obviously the new policy is working. Even the Labor leader agrees it is a better policy.

While I agree that that we need to have compassion and understanding for asylum seekers, we also have a right to know who we are welcoming to our country and we need to be in a position to support them. There are only so many tax dollars for our governments to spend and, unfortunately, they don’t come from a bottomless pit.

Although I have some respect for the work of unions and the job they do in advocating for employees, last night I was most upset to receive an automated call from the Electrical Trades Union spreading mistruths about the free trade agreement signed with China. The call claimed Australian Chinese companies will have unrestricted access to Chinese workers for major projects, threatening Australian jobs. As someone who follows these things closely I know this is completely false: The agreement will not allow unrestricted access to the Australian labour market by Chinese workers. It will not allow Australian employment laws or conditions to be undermined. This kind of false marketing by the ETU should be investigated.

Eliza Foster, Mt Eliza

DIAMOND DENTURE STUDIO

Citizenship bid I totally agree with everything Douglas McClary wrote (“Would-be citizen”, Letters 4/8/15). My wife and I have lived in Australia for 10 years on 410 visas. We have committed to this country, we actually chose to live here and would dearly like to show our committment by becoming citizens, but are prevented from doing so.

I was interested to read Douglas’ comment about [Dunkley MP] Bruce Billson’s disappointing attitude on the subject of temporary residents. I would like to report on the view of Flinders MP Greg Hunt (my local MP) on the subject, but his secretary would not even grant me an audience with him to discuss the matter.

Unfortunately I am not able to vote for his opponent at the next election as we temporary residents are not allowed to vote, despite the taxes we are obliged to pay. So much for the Eureka Stockade mantra of “No taxation without representation.”

So please, dear readers, support Ian Goodenough’s campaign to enable us to get full residency and then citizenship. The government seems to have a hang-up about giving us Medicare cover, but that is not what we are seeking.

We already have to have private medical cover and are happy to continue that way.

All we want is to be fully a part of the beautiful country in we chose to live.

Stephen Pratt, Bittern

Trawling for fact Over the past six months I have been trying to ascertain [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s position on the “supertrawler” (as it is known) the, renamed Geelong Star.

There is much controversy over this very large fishing trawler being allowed to operate in Australian waters and, clearly, it does catch an enormous amount of fish species and, in the process, bycatch - species that are not the target of the trawler. Unfortunately, much of this bycatch perishes in the process.

Greg Hunt has replied to my question about why such a huge fishing trawler, (98 meters)

is allowed to operate in Australian waters. His emailed answer was that it was a bi-partisan agreement by the Coalition, the ALP and the Greens that the “definition” of 130 meters was to be set as the upper limit of such a trawler to operate in Australian waters.

The Greens have categorically denied that they agreed to such a definition and have told me they do not believe the Geelong Star should be allowed to operate in Australian waters.

So here we have our local federal MP saying one thing and the Greens (emailed to me from Senator Whish Wilson) denying they made such an agreement.

Are the Greens and Greg Hunt prepared to put in writing the facts of this issue? Because, as I said, it appears the truth is not being told.

Andrew Raff, Ry

Pollies united Finally something that our federal representatives can work together on with a united front.

No insults or accusations going back and forth on this one. Hate, animosity and party politics have been put aside.

They are circling the wagons and going out of their way to support the entitlements spending scandal. Spending is not illegal and morals have nothing to do with the issue.

The bi-partisan legislative committee on entitlement investigation has been established and named: “Aggrandised, Prevaricating Investigation Governing, Tumescent Relegation of Uniform Grievous Honourariums!”

Jarring biscuit reduction

Watch out for a roadside rambler MARSUPIALS are on the move. It's nearly spring and koalas are out and about. This koala has been grazing in a small eucalypt on a roadside in Mt Martha.

However, other koalas across the Mornington Peninsula not faring so well.

Generally they’re safe in the trees but, once on the ground, can easily be injured.

Koalas get attacked by dogs, hit by cars and sometimes burnt by power lines.

Jennie Bryant runs a koala hospital at Tyabb and sees “all sorts of hideous

things” afflicting the animals, from burns to amputated legs. “I sometimes cry all the way home,” she says of night time calls to stricken koalas.

Her Koala Rescue and Rehabilitation Hospital admits up to 180 koalas a year and has “a 50-50 survival rate, which is a lot better than nothing”.

The catchment for her patients is peninsula-wide and Ms Bryant works under the philosophy that “they [the animals] were here first”.

For help with injured wildlife call Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula (WHOMP) on 0417 380 687.

By David Harrison FOR council watchers, the shire’s austerity drive is plain to see. It’s the biscuits. Now only a small jar accompanies the pre-meeting tea and coffee, a small jar bereft of cream treats.

The gallery arrives at an hour where dinner merely beckons from the distant other side of the meeting closure, to find entry barred. And, once inside, not a cream bikkie to sustain oneself.

One shivers in the cold, dark and rain, beating futilely with whitened knuckles on the locked armoured glass door (CW tends to gaudy prose when hypothermic), callously ignored by those inside luxuriating in the warmth, who at the 10 August meeting including Fred Crump of Mornington, world traveller and veteran inquisitor on the state of the Mornington clock on the Barkly St roundabout.

So there was Fred, on the other side of the glass, questions in one hand, gesturing with a shrug that he could not help us accomplish ingress. Was that a triumphant smirk? Was that a half-devoured biscuit he was hiding in his other hand? We discovered he was gloating over the English Ashes victory.

But CW is not one for lingering bitterness, unless deprived of a cream biscuit. (Did he mention the small, poorly stocked jar?) The size of the meeting agenda drove such matters from his mind. As did the prospect of Fred’s questions.

Meeting under way, CW decided that the prayer needs a rewrite. The “Thys” must go, as verily they have been banished from the New English

Valour” medal – made from Crimean War cannon bronze and massively hindering their flight – to a bonus bushel of bespoke grain for the lads in the loft?

There was once a Melbourne broadsheet that had a loft atop its Collins St building to receive carrier pigeons that flew from ships arriving at Queenscliff with the latest news stowed in canisters attached to their legs – the new technology of the 19th century. They beat their rivals by a day with this system. Now news flies across the globe in milliseconds.

Four questions on the Skylift gondola project followed, on trees, explosives, emergency plans and loss of flora and fauna. This topic, and elements of these questions, appear in a report elsewhere in these pages. The shire played a straight bat, referring to VCAT’s approval of the Skylift plans in a solid defence invoking the “it’s all their doing” line.

The councillor arc was substantially depleted, with David Gibb and Anne Shaw missing from the conservative ranks and Lynn Bowden, absent from the progressive-ish side.

Meeting chair Cr Colomb used her casting vote once or twice during the meeting, which covered the shire’s carbon neutrality policy and, again, the never-ending and testily contested Skylift saga.

Hunger gripped CW’s vittles when Item 5, Councillors and Delegates Reports, was announced. He made no excuse and left; hot homemade soup and toast awaited.

Bible. And we need to know what the evacuation alarm sounds like, in case a speedy egress from the chamber becomes necessary. Perhaps we should have a practice evacuation once a year.

Briefings and petitions out of the way, we came to questions. Sure enough, Fred Crump weighed in, on the local government federal conference held in Canberra, which was attended by the mayor Cr Bev Colomb.

What “good tidings” had she brought back to the peninsula, he asked, or had it been a “futile junket”?

It was a cornucopia, the mayor replied, comprising environmental, social and economic goodies, plus national broadband network tidings of great joy, and other bits and pieces including carbon neutrality initiatives and news on the arts, “which we were hoping to attract more funding to”.

CW frowns on sentences that end in prepositions. Up with them he will not put.

Then the second Crump question, on the topic of war pigeons, 33 of which were awarded the Victoria Cross.

Could a war memorial be built in Mornington at shire expense to commemorate them, he asked, as the RSL says it has no money. Two pigeons were Australian-bred. Cr Colomb said she would take the matter up with the RSL. Would the pigeons prefer the “For

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Municipal election next Thursday Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE winning number for the pony won

by Mr John E. Jones, of Moorooduc for Red Cross Fund is 257. T. Brown, Naval Base, Crib Point. The net proceeds are £20. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a special horse and cattle sale on Monday next, commencing at noon, in the Cricklewood farm yard, near the Frankston Railway Station, when a good yarding of both horses and cattle is expected.

The list booked up to time of going to press is advertised in another column. On Saturday next the same firm will sell on account of the owner on the premises, Racecourse Farm, Frankston, cattle, farm implements and sundries. The sale will commence at 2 o’clock, the particulars of which are advertised *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Hall. A full report of the proceedings will appear in our next issue. *** ON Tuesday evening Mr W. P. Mason will address the ratepayers in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall at 8 o’clock, and at the conclusion of his address Mr A. Clements will express his views on municipal matters. *** THE hon. sec. of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund (Dr Plowman) desires to acknowledge the receipt of

the sum of £3 11s 9d from Mrs W. H. O’Gredy. This handsome amount was realised by her sale of golliwogs, made by herself. *** THE members of the Wattle Club have made elaborate arrangements to entertain a large number of returned wounded soldiers at Clarendon House this afternoon. Tea is to be provided between 3 and 4 o’clock, after which the public are cordially invited. *** The Peninsula Motor Garage Proprietory, Ltd, wish to notify that they have changed the name of the company from the Frankston Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. They have been established about 18 months at Frankston, and have also opened a garage at Mornington. They have a good supply of cars at both places, and may be rung up at any hour, either night or day. They are also agents for the Buick and Grant cars, and keep a good supply of all motor accessories in stock. *** MR and Mrs Sheridan were tendered a social evening at the Prince of Wales Hotel on the 9th inst., on their return from their honeymoon trip to the Gippsland Lakes and Buchan Caves.

Mrs Garrood, sen. received them in the drawing-room, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Mr C. P. Watson proposed the toast of the happy pair, and a most pleasant evening was spent. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. will hold a large property and clearing sale at

Shoreham on Friday next, on account of Messrs Arthur and John Penman, who have sold their property.

The property consists of an 80 acre well improved and compact farm, subdivided into 8 paddocks on which is erected a 5 roomed W.B house, and numerous out buildings.

The whole of the stock implements and furniture will also be placed under the hammer. *** OFFICIAL news has been received this week from the Secretary of Defence of a number of the lads of the peninsula having received wounds while fighting at the Dardanelles.

While the news is bad, we must take comfort that it is not worse.

The following are amongst the number:—Second-Lieutenant Fisher (second occasion) Privates L. Polglase, P Sheridan, O.Young, and Driver Bert Roberts (the two last mentioned were employers at the “Standard” office prior to enlisting) all of Frankston, and L. Birch of Mornington. *** WATTLE CLUB. This newly formed club provided a very pleasant evening’s entertainment in the Mechanics’ Institute, on Saturday, August 7th. The chief form of amusement was dancing, with songs at intervals, which were all rendered in splendid style, and were much appreciated by the audience.

To raise funds for the Australian sick and wounded soldiers is the object of the club, as well as to provide amusement and recreation for dozens of

young people, who can, while spending the small sum of 6d for a long evening’s entertainment, help to swell the fund for our heroes.

The Club has started with a membership of over 50, and there is every indication that this number will be double before long.

A very interesting item on Saturday night’s programme was a few well spoken remarks by Mr Gray, who, on behalf of the Wattle Club, welcomed back to Frankston Mr Malcome and Mr Connell, two soldiers who had done their duty as far as they were able, but instead of now fighting in the trenches with their brave comrades, had been compelled to return to the homes they had gone out to defend.

“They are jolly good fellows” was heartily sung.

Messrs Malcome and Connell feelingly responded, and hoped before long to be sufficiently recovered to go to the front. A coffee supper, in which all took part, followed by the National Anthem, brought a most successful evening to a close. *** WE regret to have to call attention to the fact, as announced by advertisement in another column, that the presentation to volunteers recently enlisted from Frankston and the immediate district, arranged for Monday next, 23rd August, has been postponed. We understand that this is partly due to the outbreak of cerebrospinal meningitis and partly due to the difficulty of getting into touch with the recruits, who have recently been transferred from

Seymour to Broadmeadows. *** MUNICIPAL Elections. In the Centre and East Ridings of the Shire the two retiring members have been returned unopposed, the rate payers evidently being well satisfied with the past services of these two gentlemen, and are well satisfied to entrust their interests to them for another term of three years.

In the North Riding the seat rendered vacant by the retirement of Cr Ritchie will be contested for by three gentlemen, and considerable local interest is already excited as to who will eventually head the poll.

The candidates are Messrs W. P. Mason, M. Clements and O. Bailey. Mr Mason has never tried to enter municipal life before, but has always taken a keen interest in the advancement of the district and is a shrewd business man, and should make a very useful man at the council table.

Mr Clements has had former experience as a councillor in other parts and if elected, will doubtless prove a useful member. Mr Bailey is not as well known as the other two candidates, and we understand, never had any experience as a councillor. He has a good gift of language, and if elected will no doubt be able to give expression to his views at the council table.

The election takes place on Thursday next in the Mechanics’ Institute, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 August, 1915

FOR a true attention grabbing property, this splendid Frankston South residence holds tight and never lets go.

Set on a 938-square metre block, this near-new home has been built to a high standard with an enviable list of features. Stone, steel and wood are all used to amazing effect throughout the home and there are many clever extras that are going to appeal to the tech-savvy buyer.

Beautiful chestnut timber floors flow throughout the entire home and the many banks of floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light. A contemporary open

plan zone comprises a stylish lounge area and a dazzling galley-style kitchen has a wall of stainless-steel ovens and a dishwasher. There is an intriguing use of timber that integrates with the massive Caesarstone benchtops that give this room a real mark of distinction. From here, the excellent alfresco timber deck beckons with the remote-control louvre roof promising an exciting space for entertaining all year round. Three enormous bedrooms each have their own walk-in wardrobe and ceiling fans, with the larger main bedroomâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; discreetly set in the

west wing of the home, featuring an ensuite bathroom with a walk-through shower set behind an incredible mosaic feature wall. A separate study could be a fourth bedroom if required. The block is well-established with low maintenance gardens and from the street, remote gates guard the driveway which leads up to a double garage. For a home of this scale it has an impressive 5.7 star energy rating with a 6kw solar power system no doubt aiding that figure. A long list of extras here include hydronic heating and tinted double glazed windows.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The art of selling things

By Stuart McCullough CLEARLY, anything is now possible.

News that Jimmy Barnes has been awarded his own ice cream flavour has completely knocked me sideways and caused me to question everything I once believed. The decision to give Jimmy his own variety is, of course, highly inappropriate for a number of reasons, not least of which the fact that the ice cream in question is a Peters’ ‘Drumstick’ and, to the very best of my knowledge, Jimmy couldn’t do a para-diddle if his life depended on it.

Don’t get me wrong; Jimmy is great and deserves to be honoured. I’m just not sure that an ice cream – as tasty and delicious as it may be – is quite the way to do it.

I must have missed a meeting. I don’t remember exactly when we, as a nation, decided that the best way to respect a lifetime of good work and achievement was through dessert. I realize the whole ‘Sir Phil’ royal knighthood debacle set the honours system back a notch or two, but the way things are headed, it looks like we’re on the verge of ditching ‘Australian of the Year’ in favour of a signature range of fudge flavours and breakfast cereals. But maybe there’s little point resisting. Instead of trying to stop the inevitable, the time has come to embrace it.

Musicians should all be required to endorse something other than their own work. By combining groceries and rock music, we will stimulate economic activity that makes everyone a winner. ‘Nick Cave and Bad Seeds

Seedless Watermelons’ would revolutionise the fruit and vegetable market.

Midnight Oil’s ‘Power and the Passionfruit’ would draw overdue attention to the quiet achiever of natural snack foods. In fact, we should move towards a model whereby it’s illegal to sell something that doesn’t carry the authoritative weight of celebrity endorsement. Forget food star ratings and nutritional advice; I just want to know if Beyonce likes it.

It shouldn’t just be rock stars, though. There’s no reason why other artists shouldn’t also get their share of cross-promotional glory. German composer Carl Orff may have shuffled off this mortal coil, but there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be rolled out to lend his name to the right product. His best-known work, ‘O Fortuna’ comes from Carmen Burina. Pairing him with an affordable small sedan is, frankly, a match made in advertising heaven.

People would be queuing up to part with their hard-earned and get behind the wheel of a Carl Orff ‘Carmen Barina’. The stereo would be set to play ‘O Fortuna’ on a continuous loop which, if nothing else, will frighten pedestrians at a intersections and make the guy with a bottle of detergent and the squidgy mop think twice about offering to clean your windscreen.

It’s a little known fact that the author of the quantum theory, Max Planck, was a massive fan of Barbeque Shapes. Indeed, his thoughts on atomic and sub-atomic particles were said to be deeply influenced by the little bits of red flavouring found on his favourite savoury biscuit. When having to decide between Barbeque Shapes and, say, one of those seaweed infused crackers that (to me at any rate) taste like tablets of nothing, surely the endorsement of Germany’s finest theoretical physicist would influence your decision-making.

Friedrich Nietzsche may have been a nihilist, but he loved nothing more than to hunker down on a wet afternoon for a few rounds of ‘Hungry, Hungry Hippo’. This set him apart from most other philosophers of the era including his hero, Arthur Schopenhauer, who was known to prefer ‘Ker-plunk’. That the link between great philosophers and popular board games has not been promoted before now is, I feel, something of an indictment on the advertising world more generally.

When I look at a product like the Ab-Cruncher I think of two things:

a washboard stomach you could eat your dinner on and Gore Vidal. But for too long these two entities for good have been campaigning for a better world separately when they ought to have combined forces long ago. Not only did Gore produce some substantial pieces of literature; he was renown in literary circles for his well-defined abdominal muscles.

Julius Caesar is an obvious candidate to endorse a set of stainless steel knives that never need sharpening; the kind that can slice through a regular household brick as easily as a piece of cheese and Benito Mussolini a natural fit for some type of hair replacement clinic. Kaiser Wilhelm had a passion for multi-grain bread and there’s nothing Napoleon Bonaparte liked more after a long day on the Russian frontier than a cup of tea with a Jaffa Cake. This will revolutionise the way we shop.

It’s an interesting question: what’s the best way to pay tribute to someone? I suppose ice cream is as good as any. You can win medals, plaques and statuettes, but you can’t put them in a bowl and shove them into your mouth by the spoonful whilst watching reruns of The Bill. I have to admit that I’m yet to try Jimmy’s ice cream. I’d like to tell you that I’m waiting until he comes out with a line of microwave meals and a gourmet cheese but it’s not true. Nor can I say that I don’t have the stomach for it. Rather, it’s just not to my taste. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ON A MISSION TO CAPTURE YOUR IMAGINATION

By Andrea Lo ouise Thom mas

Amsterdam-born artist, Philippe de Kraan is intent on taking Mornington by storm – art storm that is. His 48th solo exhibition, A Moment in Time, is coming to Oak Hill Gallery in September and the streets businesses and publications of Mornington are ablaze with images of his colourful expressionist paintings. De Kraan paints with exuberant passion and he wants to share that with others. Of the upcoming show he said: “I want people to walk away from his exhibition with their imaginations going wild!”

It hard not to be struck by De Kraan’s work; his bold, bright expressionistic paintings are eye catching both in content and in colour. He works meticulously over long periods of time with exacting precision. He spent three and a half years painting a one 10 x 6.5 foot canvas, The Gathering, with a miniature (000) paintbrush! It was the only way to achieve the effect he wanted.

Patience and dedication to detail are clearly strengths. Have a close look at the pages of the book sitting open on the park bench in his painting, Mornington Delight.

“To have mastered the essence of expression is what I’d like my artistic legacy to be,” he explained. His portraits certainly do just that. There is depth, expression and fine detail in their faces.

When he lived in Europe he used to pay sitting fees to beggars, the elderly, local fishermen and children alike to capture their personal stories. “When you paint a person, you have to make them live. You have to touch the soul,” he revealed. All his work always depicts the human form in some way.

Whether expressive oils and watercolours or meticulous brush and ink work, de Kraan has produced a body of work equal to his intended legacy. Don’t miss this unique solo exhibition opening on Sunday 5 September from 2-4 pm and continuing until Wednesday 30 September at Oak Hill Gallery, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Mornington, 5973 4299, oakhillgallery. com.au View de Kraan’s work at dekraan.com

Finals fight goes down to the wire NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE scene has been set for an explosive final round of Nepean League football after the completion of round 15 on Saturday.

There were two significant results to keep an eye on over the weekend – the outcome of Rye v Somerville and the result of Frankston v Red Hill.

Red Hill was working towards getting the points away to the Bombers while also hoping that Rye could beat Somerville.

Had that been the case, Red Hill would have taken Somerville’s place in the top five.

Whilst Red Hill held up its end of the bargain, smashing the Bombers convincingly by 113 points, Rye wasn’t able to beat Somerville.

However, Rye managed just nine goals against the Eagles while the visitors rammed home 18 majors, winning by 47 points.

The Hillmen’s winning margin, coupled with Rye’s losing margin, meant that the gap of 18 per cent at the start of the day between the two teams was reduced to just 3.5 per cent by the end of the afternoon.

So the stage has been set for a thrill-

ing final round this Saturday.

Going into the final home and away game of the season, Red Hill is in sixth place on 40 points with a percentage of 134.73.

Somerville is in fifth place with 44 points and a percentage of 131.10. Rye is in fourth place with 44 points and a percentage of 138.24.

Red Hill tackles Dromana at home.

On paper and with a finals berth on offer (potentially), the Hillmen would be favourites. However, the Tigers have beaten Red Hill on the last three occasions.

Somerville go up against Crib Point.

The Eagles will be favourites but noone can underestimate the capabilities of the Pies, despite their horror season.

Rye travels to Shark Park to tackle Sorrento. There is no love lost between these sides and the Sharks would love nothing more than to destroy Rye’s season. Especially after their controversial loss to the Demons in the corresponding game earlier in the season.

The likely scenario looks like this – Red Hill and Somerville wins and Rye loses. Rye drops out, despite 11 wins from 16 games, Somerville jumps to fourth and the Hillmen sneak into fifth.

There is also a battle at the top of the ladder.

Sorrento (44 points and 177.55 per cent) will still have an eye on top spot and the week’s rest – that’s added incentive to beat Rye. Top of the table Rosebud (48/186 per cent) travel to Hastings (44/174.79).

Rosebud just has to win to maintain top spot.

There is no question that Sorrento is the side that everyone believes heads into the finals series as favourites.

Dromana was coming off a super win the week before against Rye and were sensational early. However, the Sharks booted five goals to four points in the second quarter and ended the contest.

Myles Pitt finished with seven majors and was the key player on the ground, while Leigh Treeby and Ryan Potter were outstanding.

Kieran Voelkl was superb for the Tigers, while Sam Guerts, Sam Fowler and Richard Sydnenham all played Under 18s and then had an impact in the seniors.

Rye v Somerville was billed as the match of the round.

Whilst the footy played was entertaining, Rye was never in the contest after the 10-minute mark of the second quarter.

Rye was within five points of the

Eagles at quarter time and dominated the first 10 minutes of the second and opened-up a two goal break.

However, Somerville then kicked the next six goals of the second quarter and iced the contest.

The Eagles were equally as impressive in the second half with nine goals to four, winning 18.8 (116) to 9.15 (69).

Whilst Somerville skipper Justin Farrelly didn’t gain the possessions for say Josh Collie to Jedd Sutton (four goals), he typified how the Eagles need to play to be a threat.

‘Faz’ was the biggest man on the field and his second and third efforts were superb. He had the better of Rhett Sutton in the ruck and around the ground.

Kane McKenzie was also significant in defence and Billy Rolfe was at his finest too with three goals.

Timmy McGenniss had 21 possessions in the first half and had 25 when he left the field with an ankle tweak midway through the third. He’ll be right for Crib Point this week.

Stephen Crowe played in the twos but is still struggling, while Ben Sedgewick and Rowan Hogenbirk both missed through quad strains.

Rye went into the match without key defender Ryan Taylor, as well as Ben

Winters-Kerr. Kris Bardon was Rye’s best, along with Scott Sterling, Jai Lloyd and Steven Daniher.

Rye’s day was typified when Somerville’s Tom Shaw called for a handball from Rye defender Leigh Morse in the third quarter. Without hesitation, Morse dished it off and Shaw ran into an open goal.

In other matches, Hastings overcame a slow start to kick 17.13 (115) to 6.13 (49) against Crib Point, Red Hill belted Frankston with Harry Larwill booting seven goals and Paul Wintle dominating Beau Muston, Rosebud booted 30.31 (211) to Tyabb’s 5.3 (33) with Tom Baker kicking six and Devon Meadows rubbed enormous salt into the wounds of Pearcedale, who were humiliated 20.17 (137) to 8.11 (59).

Pearcedale has been lucky that the dramas at the MPNFL and Crib Point’s demise has been leading the news this season.

The Panthers invested enormous money into the season and were optimistic about the year.

The year has been nothing short of disastrous.

The Meadows on the other hand should have some pretty exciting times ahead.

Up and at them: Somerville defeated Rye, above, while Hastings were all over Crib Point to ease to a 115-49 victory. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Stonecats strangle another victim PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW is slowly sucking the life out of Peninsula Division football after disposing of yet another premiership aspirant on Saturday in Mornington.

The game started in tight fashion but the home side gained the ascendancy midway through the second quarter and collectively pushed their feet on the throats of their opponent for the entire second half, eventually winning 17.12 (114) to 7.7 (49).

The Stonecats opened up a 17-point break at half time after trailing by the smallest of margins at the first change.

The lead should have been so much more than three goals at half time, given the Stonecats had squandered some opportunities (4.7 to 2.1) in the second quarter.

Mornington would have gone into the rooms at the long interval believing that if they could tidy some things up, that they were well in the contest.

Wrong! Frankston YCW came out and booted six goals to one in the third and the game was all over at the final interval (12.10 to 5.4).

Again, the Stonecats had sucked the life out of an opponent.

Scott McLeod with three goals was at his very best. He is a powerful

PAGE 42

player with great endurance and an undeniable appetite for the contest and victory.

Anthony Barry was sensational again from half back, setting up the defensive structures and driving his team into attack.

Ben Tellis has been talking about the fact that this is his last season. When you’re playing this brand of football, in this side, the last thing ‘BT’ should be thinking about is hanging up the boots.

David Bodley was the go to forward, finishing with five goals, while Craig Nankervis is grossly underrated. Nankervis wins his own footy, is decisive with the use of it and gets it plenty of times each match.

Frankston YCW doesn’t have a weak link. Ricky Morris returned in the reserves yesterday and kicked a goal.

‘Magic’ is the obvious replacement for Ben Buckley, who tore his ACL against Edithvale in the dying minutes of the match last week.

The Stonecats have proven that they are significantly better than any other side in the competition. In fact, they are plus-70 points between their points for and points against on average this season. That’s more than 10 goals better (on average) than any other side.

If Peninsula Division supporters are hopeful of an exciting finals series,

Western Port News 18 August 2015

they better change their mindset.

Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers doesn’t agree.

“You’re right Toey, at times, you sit back as coach of this team and admire what they are doing on the field,” Mathers said.

“However, if you let your guard down for any period of time, then the opposition can make life difficult.

“Anything can happen on any given day and whilst we’re in good form, that can change pretty quickly if our mindset and application isn’t right,” Mathers said.

Mathers agreed that Ricky Morris was an obvious choice to replace Buckley.

“Magic has had some issues getting his body right this season and he’s got a lot of work to do. He needs a lot of match condition and we need to be confident that his body is right.

“No doubt Ricky is a very good player but he’s coming from a fair way back. Our depth is good at the moment and there are a number of players putting their hand up,” Mathers said.

Pines booted 11 goals to one in the final quarter to belt Seaford by 66 points on Saturday.

In an entertaining, tight contest all afternoon, the Pythons put on a clinic in the final 30 minutes to seal the match with some blistering footy.

Guy Hendry and Aaron Edwards booted seven goals each for the winners while Luke Potts showed once again that he is a class above at this level.

Aaron Walton was equally as impressive for Seaford with eight goals, while Jason Tendler also played a significant role with four majors.

The score was 14.8 (92) to 14.7 (91) at three quarter time. The final score was 25.15 (165) to 15.9 (99).

Edithvale-Aspendale bounced back from its horror defeat last week at the hands of YCW to beat Bonbeach by 22 points.

Wayward kicking by the Eagles (10.15 to 8.5) kept the Sharks in the contest right to the very end on the scoreboard, however, in general play, the Eagles were superior.

Matthew Clark was absolutely superb once again for the winners while Tim Mavric back in the line-up made a significant difference. Aaron Pawel was also back in the ruck for the visitors, which again helped with their structures.

Darcy Warke was again available from the Stingrays and was lively forward of centre with four goals.

Chris Bryan played arguably his best game for Bonbeach with three goals, while Gary Carpenter was at his best yet again.

Langwarrin controlled its match all afternoon against Chelsea, winning comfortably 22.13 (145) to 11.12 (78).

For the second week in a row, exciting forward Kieran Albanese dominated in the front half, finishing with six goals in his best game for the club.

Former junior teammate Blake Harkness was also super impressive while Rikki Johnston was again at his absolute best.

Johnston is a short-price favorite to win the club’s best and fairest after former Dromana premiership teammate Liam Hogan took the title last season.

Jason Clark kicked four goals for the Seagulls while Brad Clark was also a strong performer through the middle of the ground.

Mt Eliza spearhead Justin Van Unen is just five goals away from kicking 100 after booting eight goals in his team’s 26.21 (177) to 6.4 (40) victory against Karingal.

The Mounties started with eight goals to zip in the opening quarter and finished in the final term with 10 goals to one.

Rohan Heasley and Ben Landry dominated through the middle of the ground for the winners.

Hadley Tomamichel and Tom Wilkinson picked-up the votes for Karingal.

Blues comfortable winners in derby HASTINGS FNC

By Phil Stone, club president ON Saturday the club travelled down to Crib Point for the right to retain the Ron Moncrief Shield. In a terrific game of footy both sides went toe to toe in the opening quarter with a very high standard of hard footy.

But from quarter time onwards the Hastings FNC took complete control to run out very comfortable winners and enable the club to have a tilt at playing finals football.

A huge congratulations to Brendan Dunne and the players on their performance on the

weekend. It was very disciplined in a game we just had to win.

This coming weekend is our last home and away game of Season 2015. The club faces top of the ladder Rosebud FNC at home in what will be the match of the round.

We need to get a big support crew to this game to cheer on our young warriors in what will be a great day for the Hastings Blues. So to all our supporters, sponsors and members please make the effort and come and cheer us on.

Seniors We took on close rivals this week in what was

a very important game for us to win to maintain our finals hopes.

We didn’t start that well and Crib definitely had the better of us early; things were not looking good at quarter time.

The second quarter saw us get some momentum back and go into half time with a small lead.

The boys really played well in the second half with the back line keeping Crib scoreless in the third quarter.

We ended up running away with the game and got a great win away.

Well done to Pete Mawson on his 100 games.

Reserves On Saturday we travelled just down the road in the local derby against our neighbours in Crib Point.

The first quarter was very tightly contested footy. The pressure from both sides made it scrappy with lots of mistakes. Crib Point got ahead by a couple of goals by the quarter time break.

Into the second quarter the boys settled a bit and started to take control of the game. They kicked a few goals to go into the half-time break with scores level and a very even contested game.

The third quarter was very much the same with both sides not being able to break out and take full control.

Just in front at three quarter time the boys were urged to give everything they possibly could to get the win and they didn’t disappoint.

In a fantastic last quarter they kicked five goals in some quick movement of the footy to run out 20 point winners.

Better players on the day were D. Hull, D. Wishart, A. Vinson, J. Bradshaw, K. Delahaye, J. Elton.

Under 19’s (By Aaron Wilson) HASTINGS under 19’s were gallant in defeat

Crib’s woes continue with loss to Hastings CRIB POINT FNC

By Jared Newton CRIB Point’s season continues as normal with another comfortable loss at the hands of Hastings.

The end of the year cannot come quick enough with the final siren next Saturday being met with relief so the club can put what has been a disastrous season behind them.

Crib started strongly again only for Hastings to wrestle control back in the second quarter and take control in he second half to comfortably run away with a 66 point win.

Matt Wappett was best on ground and was supported well by Matt Sloper and Jayden Espenschied who competed all day against the tide.

Michael Cook was also very good in his 200th club game for Crib Point in a result that didn’t do the occasion any justice.

Next Saturday at 5pm will be a good time to look back and reflect on what the problems this year were, rectify them and start planning the climb back up the ladder in 2016.

The reserves were right in their contest until the end but lack of finish saw them go down by three goals.

It was a tight affair for the entire day with a goal

or less separating the two sides at every change before Hastings got away late.

For the first time all season the reserves had several avenues to goal which made a huge difference as Jake Condick kicked three with Neil Clark, and Dean Warry snagging two apiece.

Pete Coelli was best afield with Danny Edwards playing a solid support role through the middle with plenty of possessions.

It was an honourable loss which is still not acceptable but they’re far better than some of the other hidings that have been inflicted in recent weeks.

The under 19s locked in their top three status with a 33 point win over Hastings in the early game.

Inaccurate kicking kept Hastings in it. They refused to go away but the class of the boys prevailed eventually.

Zac Vines and Ethan Smith kicked three each with Ethan Smith getting the job done at both ends of the ground in a best afield display.

The 19’s are on the verge of something special and hopefully they realise how rare it is to get the chance to play finals football with a group of mates the same age that you knock around with together off the field too.

against Crib Point in their round 15 clash. Undermanned, Hastings were always in the contest right up until the final siren. Stephen Williams was back to his best, while Thorin Brooks and Sean Hewitt also gave strong performances.

Next week they face league leaders Rosebud which will be another big challenge.

Netball Report ALL grades fought hard through their matches with C and B grades struggling for numbers with sickness and injury.

Well done to C grades girls Ebony Mercieca for another great game and Mel Symington scoring her first goals for the season.

B grade were very undermanned and came up against a very talented Crib Point side. Bec Blackney and Renee Owen need to be congratulated for continuing to compete and helping to keep the girls heads up. Alana Stone was terrific in defence.

A grade competed hard the entire match with Taylah Strange and Tash Green making the Crib Point goalers work for every ball. Crib Point were a tight defending, quick moving team that made it very hard for us to score.

Last game of the season at home against Rosebud should see a tight contest. Awards are compulsory this week. Let’s all get back to the club and have some fun! *** This Saturday sees your Hastings Blues back at home against the Rosebud FNC. *** Upcoming Functions: This Saturday Night get back into the rooms for Jackpot Joker from 5pm to win a massive amount of cash.
