Safety first at crossings SAFETY and presentation could see Nancy Gorrie named Victorian school crossing supervisor of the year.

Ms Gorrie, left, who holds the stop sign outside Western Port Secondary College, is one of 11 Mornington Peninsula-based “lollypop people” in the running to win the award run by Schools Crossing Victoria to promote safety.

The award is presented to a children’s crossing supervisor who has shown outstanding commitment and dedication.

The 11 supervisors nominated from the shire are Bob Barrett (Bentons Junior College), Geoff Blount (Kunyung Primary School), Rod Brown (Mt Martha primary), Carole Dellar (Somers primary), Nancy Gorrie (Western Port Secondary College), Sue Hennessey (Mornington Park primary), Keith Humphreys (Peninsula School), Pauline Keast (Benton Junior College),Terry Lovekin (Eastbourne primary), Margaret Ormond (Mornington primary) and Faye Cox (Rye primary).

Dishonourable disregard IT TOOK years of negotiations for Somerville to finally getting a new avenue of honour and just minutes of senseless vandalism to tear it down.

The vandals struck last Friday night, uprooting trees and pickets planted along Station St less than a month before.

Cr Lynn Bowden expressed “disgust and disappointment” and called for witnesses to contact Hastings police. On Saturday, members of Hastings RSL helped Cr Bowden replace the trees that had been in the ground since 16 May. “It was very distressing to find out that a number of the trees and pickets

had been ripped up and strewn around the area,” Cr Bowden said.

“Fortunately I was able to get the support of Hastings RSL members who came out early on Saturday morning to help me tidy up and replant the trees.

Cr Bowden hoped the culprits would be caught, so that “the significance of the avenue of honour could be explained to them”.

“You have to wonder if they even know what the avenue of honour stands for,” Cr Bowden said.

“It’s despicable to think someone could vandalise such an important reminder of the sacrifices Australians

made in war to protect the freedom we enjoy today.

“If anyone noticed any suspicious activity in the area on Friday night, I would encourage them to contact the Hastings police station.”

The original avenue was planted in 1917 and stretched about 600 metres from the roundabouts, past the primary school and down to Alfred St, which runs through to Guelph St. Plane trees were also planted in Station St, on the other side of the railway line. Some still exist. Under each trees was a plaque honouring the 82 Somerville men who served in the First World War.

GROWING opposite Hastings foreshore, this unusual looking fungus could easily be mistaken for an octopus.

However, Vicki Davis knew better. The holder of a Certificate 3 in horticulture and a keen home gardener, Ms Davis investigated and discovered that what appeared to be a decomposing sea dweller was, in fact, Anthurus archeri, or octopus stinkhorn.

It was growing among tanbark next to a power substation near High St. However, its resemblance to rotting flesh is not lost on the flies, which are attracted by its smell of rotting flesh.

Officially a mushroom, the eggs of the fungus are said to taste and smell like radish but is recommended eating only “in a wilderness survival circumstance when no other food is available. In other cases, it is considered inedible”.

The unwitting flies carry and spread its spores, helping spread the octopus stinkhorn and ensure its survival.

The fungus is indigenous to Australia and has been introduced to Europe and the United States.

Its first appearance in France was attributed to spores carried in bales of wool from Australia.

Ms Davis, raised on a farm in New South Wales, said she had not previously seen the fungus although she was familiar with different plant species.

She sells several kinds of potted native plants – including grevilleas, correas and calistamons – and can be contacted on 0405 547 860.

Pollution in the bay – it’s all exercise

By Tony Duboudin SOMERS Yacht Club was turned into a full-blown command post for the national Sea Dragon 2 pollution preparedness exercise on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.

The exercise involved about 200 people from Victoria, New South Wales, Canberra and South Australia and was designed to test national readiness to deal with major oil and other pollution spills.

Sea Dragon was conducted by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and the Victorian Department of Transport with support from the Australian Marine Oil Spills Centre.

A mock marine pollution scenario saw wooden replicas of penguins and other marine birds placed on the beach in front of the yacht club before being treated to a clean-up process.

A helicopter tracked an imaginary oil spill and dropped dispersant. Boats were also involved and they were brought in from their base at Stony Point.

The yacht club boatyard had an inflatable “hospital” set up complete with its own generator to drive the airconditioning while nearby was a animal cleaning station.

The cleaning station – a converted shipping container purpose-built in New Zealand and the only one of its kind in Australia – was driven on its special crane-equipped truck from Sydney. It is owned by the NSW Department of Transport and operated by Sydney Port Corporation.

It is equipped with special tables and overhead water hoses that disperse a

mix of warm water, heated by the station’s own self-contained equipment, and cleaning agent that is used to clean affected animals, which are then moved to another section of the station to be dried off. The station retains all its own waste liquid, which is then properly disposed of after an operation is completed.

The yacht club provided volunteers to assist in the running of the exercise while the club’s chef, Vic Crust, feed participants with breakfast each morning from 7am as well as lunch.

Somers Yacht Club’s safety officer and former commodore Norm Dewar said the exercise was an eye-opener for many people.

“The amount of equipment and the skills of the various organisations taking part was impressive. I also think that they learned a lot from the exercise and members of the club were able to provide the organisers with a wealth of local knowledge,” he said.

The Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Anthony Albanese, said that vigilance and preparedness was the best protection against any pollution threat.

“Australia has some of the most pristine coastal waters on the planet and oil spillage from damaged ships has the capacity to wreak massive environmental damage,” he said.

“Exercise Sea Dragon is a great example of cross-agency collaboration as we test our ability to handle a pollution spill.”

Ports Minister Denis Napthine said: “It allows us to test our preparedness and identify areas for improvement.”

Lew pool removal plan gets OK

By Mike Hast THE Solomon Lew pool saga is near the end after the Department of Sustainability and Environment last week approved plans for the pool’s removal.

The works will also see remediation of Crown land on which the horizon pool, a retaining wall, fence and landscaping had been placed.

The $400,000 pool was built on the foreshore adjoining the Lew family holiday property in Osprey Ave, Mt Eliza, in 2010 and 2011 with neighbours being told by workmen they were installing water tanks.

The pool area has a spectacular view

of Port Phillip and Mornington harbour in the distance.

In late May the existence of the pool was revealed by the Sunday Age, which reported Mr Lew and his daughter Jacqueline Lew, through a family company called Shuttlehall Pty Ltd, had been given 14 days to explain to Mornington Peninsula Shire why the horizon pool had been built on Crown land without a planning permit.

Last August, the shire ordered the demolition of the pool within 21 days under the Building Act. It was drained on Friday 12 August.

Then followed months of negotia-

tions, with Mr Lew first trying to buy the Crown land from DSE, which was refused after lobbying by Mornington MP David Morris among others, and then offering to lease the land from the shire, which manages it on behalf of DSE. The land along the cliff tops of Moondah and Sunnyside beaches was rezoned by the council in 2006 to “public use and residential�.

It was reported that Mr Lew’s lawyers, Schetzer Brott and Appel, offered the shire an initial lease payment of $250,000 with annual instalments of $50,000 for 19 years.

Last September, the Building Appeals Board refused a retrospective building permit for the pool after cracks were discovered in the retaining wall. The shire closed parts of Moondah Beach over fears the land would subside.

Last week DSE approved plans for the pool’s removal that had been submitted by Mr Lew’s engineers.

Mt Eliza Ward councillor Leigh Eustace said it was a win for “ratepayers, the shire and the people of Victoria who own Crown land�. “The work will be done at no cost to ratepayers,� he said.

Cr Eustace confirmed reports the Lew family would pay the shire’s legal fees of about $150,000 and $50,000 to a registered charity of the shire’s choosing.

The matter was due to go to Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 14 December, but a deal was struck beforehand.

It has taken since then for the shire, DSE and the Lew family to agree terms on the pool’s removal and remediation of the land.

Last Thursday, David Morris issued a coy press release headed “Mt Eliza foreshore�. In it he stated: “Mornington MP David Morris has welcomed the decision of the Department of Sustainability and Environment to provide Coastal Management Act consent to the land manager (Mornington Peninsula Shire Council) in relation to Moondah Reserve. “The decision brings to a conclusion an unfortunate episode, and ensures that the construction of a private building or other asset on public land does not provide an excuse for alienation of that land for private purposes.�

On Tuesday, the shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble said a schedule for the demolition and remediation had not been set.

Empty feeling: The Lew family’s $400,000 horizon pool built without a planning permit on Crown land above Moondah Beach in Mt Eliza will be demolished and the land remediated.

Sightseers drawn to Venus KEEN members of the public and observers from the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society had a stellar view of the transit of Venus across the face of the sun last Wednesday.

Victoria was regarded as being in a perfect position to witness the entire rare phenomenon, while many places on Earth missed out.

“You could say we were lucky enough to watch a goddess on the mountain top,” society secretary Peter Skilton said.

Mr Skilton and other members of the society watched the event from Mt Martha through a battery of solar telescopes.

“In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love and is usually a planet that most people know as being a very bright object shining in the dawn or dusk sky,” he said.

“This time it was in broad daylight and over a period of almost seven hours, with the dark silhouette of Venus silently creeping across the sun.”

At the society’s observatory at The Briars Park in Mt Martha, specialised solar telescopes watched and photographed the phenomenon.

“From the crack of dawn, members eagerly awaited Venus taking its first tiny bite out of the side of the sun,” Mr Skilton said.

“This unmistakeable first contact soon after 8am was clearly visible and sparked a flurry of activity as the sun was merely a few finger widths above the east horizon.

“Half an hour later, Venus reached the point of being fully immersed. Un-

Up close: Peter Skilton, above, observing the transit of Venus across the sun at The Briars in Mt Martha. Picture: Brett Bajada As Venus began exiting the bottom left side of the sun, left, it was captured in this image by Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society member Paula Ritchens at Cranbourne as the planet just “kissed” the side of the sun, leading to the so-called tear drop effect in the tiny gap. Her close-up photograph also shows a group of smaller sunspots.

fortunately cloud and even drizzle encroached around this point of second contact, although members in Frankston, Cranbourne and Dandenong reported seeing it unimpeded.

“Good views of Venus were had throughout the morning from The Briars site, until heavy cloud interfered around midday, preventing witnessing Venus leaving the face of the sun before 3pm, not to return again for another 105 years.”

Mr Skilton said some members of the society went to the NSW border

“just to increase their chances of getting clearer skies”.

“Historically, transits of Venus are well known. James Cook sailed to Tahiti in the Endeavour in June 1769 to witness the one predicted that year, then after that opened Admiralty orders that set him on a voyage of discovery to Australia,” he said.

“His observations of Venus crossing the sun were vital for scientists to calculate the size of the solar system for the first time.

“In our region there has been a long

association with Venus transits. In 1874, Professor William Parkinson Wilson of the University of Melbourne led a small team that observed the event from near his home in Mornington.

“It was recognised that the weather on the Mornington Peninsula was often very different to that experienced at the observatory in Melbourne, so a far-flung output in the distant countryside was a precaution against missing the event altogether if cloud or rain interfered in the city.

“Whether he was a casualty or not of witnessing a Venus transit with all its excitement and danger, sadly he suddenly died two days later.”

Mr Skilton said that “as far as I know, all of our observing members were safely accounted for after witnessing this particular Venus transit”.

The society’s next public telescope night will be from 8pm at The Briars on Friday 6 July. Bookings: 0419 253 252 or welcome@mpas.asn.au

Unroadworthy bin? That’s a $2500 fine, thanks THE Emus are aghast. Emu has rarely seen his bride aghaster. It is an emotion to which he himself has never previously been martyr.

Phlegmatic, stiff upper beak; that’s more his mÈtier. But now he is aghast, because Mrs Emu told him he is.

They have just read the shire council plan to ban backyard burning, as well as proposing enormous fines on people who light up anyway, as well as to heavily fine dog owners who don’t pick up after their pets, or fail to report a loose wheel on their shire waste bins.

Mrs Emu is reduced to a strangled squawk. “So much for our nest egg,” she wheezes heavily. She knows she will fall foul of these laws. And she knows he knows.

Emu calculates the possible fallout from her cavalier approach to walkies with the two retrievers. Fallout indeed.

She routinely ignores her duty to retrieve on the retrievers’ behalves.

At $1250 per dog per bodily function, that’s $2500 for a start, he thinks, and she’s barely left the property. Good thing Fido and Frou-Frou won’t be fined for peeing on posts.

A faulty bin, at $2500 an offence, doubles the dog fine, and her pyromaniacal penchant for a nice little au-

tumn leaf blaze (another $2500) brings the total to $7500. That’s just the first morning of the first day.

Emu plunges into a deep gloom.

She’s right about the nest egg. His blushing bride will obliterate it in mere weeks.

There is probably a bright side to the bin fine, though. If the thing is stolen it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one without troubling the shire.

But then, not telling the shire is probably an offence, too, attracting an even bigger penalty.

Councillors apparently have also endorsed a $2500 fine for failing to destroy nests of European wasps, Emu notes, and for the heinous crime of videoing or recording a council com-

have become cash cows and a single unroadworthy bin will reap more than a glovebox full of parking fines.

So be warned: stay alert for suspicious idlers eyeing off your rubbish receptacles or searching the air around your house for wasps and plumes of smoke. Soon they’ll be lurking everywhere.

You might ask the shire if it is selling pooper-scoopers to help save you money (unlikely).

Also ask for information on where it is locating doggie doo receptacles in which to deposit doggie deposits. And ask if they can recommend a mechanic to roadworthy your wheelie bins.

If all that fails, ask for time to pay.

mittee at work you’ll have to cough up another $1250. And, whatever you do, abstain from taking alcohol to the beach.

Emu wonders if the shire will fine itself in the case of wasps found nesting on its land and trespassing on to private land.

“These fines are stiffer than being convicted of causing an affray or driving dangerously,” Mrs Emu huffs indignantly, “just for a faulty council bin.

You can start a punch-up at the MCG and be fined less. Have they gone mad down at the council?”

Emu nods sadly. He can only conclude that the shire, in its desperate search for money, has found several new rich veins of revenue – pooches

Digital art to light up a city’s night BUILDINGS in Frankston are about to take on a new, transforming light.

Each night from Saturday 23 June to Saturday 7 July digital artworks will be projected onto the outside of some structures while others will be transformed from within.

Other digital images will be visible from smart phones through a special app.

Free guided tours will be available for the exUrbanScreens exhibition or viewers can make their way along the route to see the art for themselves.

“This will be an extraordinary experience that all the community will enjoy and be proud of – a first for Frankston. exUrbanScreens is an opportunity for families

and people of all ages to experience and enjoy our great city at night,” the mayor Cr Brian Cunial said.

The exhibition curated by Vince Dziekan and Matthew Perkins is a collaboration

by Frankston Arts Centre, the council and Monash University, and produced by Merryn Tinkler.

The digital galleries at the arts centre’s Cube 37 are the “hub” of the exhibition – (Is there) Light in outer space? – with other locations across the city centre, including along Young and Wells streets.

A major projection by Ian de Gruchy will transform the east and north sides of the Peninsula Centre, turning what is generally seen as an ugly building into a three-

Comfort comes from donation BUSINESSMAN Joe McDonald is making life more comfortable for patients at Frankston Hospital’s emergency department.

After several visits to the hospital with his elderly mother, Mr McDonald returned with fluffy pillows. “Frankston Hospital has really fantastic staff, who are flat out caring for patients and doing a great job. I just thought that a few extra pillows here and there would really help out,� said Mr

McDonald, managing director of Frankstonbased Market Metrics.

Clinical director of emergency services Dr Helen Hewitt said the pillows would help in busy times. “There will be many purposes for the pillows and the more we have the better. “The donation by Joe McDonald and his staff is a heartfelt one. Their enthusiasm to make a difference is inspiring.�

New SUV for Holden range HOLDEN will expand its SUV portfolio with the launch of an all-new small sport utility vehicle, the Holden Trax, in 2013.

With room for five passengers, plenty of cargo space and classleading technology, Trax is a global car that will be sold in more than 140 markets around the world.

Executive director of sales, marketing and aftersales John Elsworth said Trax would be an important entry for Holden into the increasingly popular small SUV segment, which had grown 57.3 per cent year to date over last year.

“Trax will deliver the flexibility, great fuel economy, advanced safety features and car-like handling that more and more customers are looking for in today’s SUVs,” Mr Elsworth said.

“This is another example of Holden bringing the best new vehicles from GM’s global portfolio to Australia. With cars like Trax we continue to deliver world-class vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers.”

He said Trax combined SUV toughness and small car

convenience with a muscular exterior design and wide athletic stance.

Eagled-eyed car enthusiasts may see a number of Trax models on Australian roads in the near future as Holden engineers complete development work on the global program.

Holden’s director of powertrain engineering Simon Cassin said the compnay’s engineering knowhow had been called on “to work on this important model”.

“Holden is well recognised within the GM world for its expertise in engine and transmission calibration and we were very pleased to be involved in the development of this vehicle,” Mr Cassin said.

“We are working closely with head office on global calibration work and of course making further refinements to ensure Trax will be well suited to Australian roads and conditions when it arrives next year.”

The global Chevrolet version of Trax will make its official debut at the Paris Motor Show in September.

REGULARLY changing the brake fluid in your car allows safe brake operation and can also save money.

What is brake fluid? It is the lifeblood of the brake hydraulic system in your car.

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you apply on the brake pedal to the brakes on the wheels of your car.

What happens as it ages? Brake fluid is very hygroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture very readily. This lowers the boiling point of the fluid and introduces moisture into the components of the brake system.

How does this affect safety? With a lower boiling point, the heat generated from normal

braking can cause old brake fluid to boil, which in turn causes loss of braking pressure or complete brake failure.

Replacement of fluid improves safety and saves you money: The moisture in brake fluid causes brake components to corrode internally and these may therefore need replacement earlier than expected. Comparatively, the cost of replacing the fluid is very low.

How often should brake fluid be replaced?

It is recommended to replace brake fluid every two years. This is in line with most car manufacturer’s recommendations. If there is any doubt as to the fluid age it is recommended it be replaced.

Magical setting A FULLY fenced 8.09-hectare (20-acre) allotment lends itself beautifully to any manner of agricultural pursuits with its ornamental lake and dam plus bore water. The property consists of several dwellings, one of which is the main homestead, a solid-brick home, surrounded by established native and fruit trees. A recent renovation sees a new kitchen, which leads to an entertainment area featuring a 10-person spa, and there is a massive open-plan living area designed around a central fireplace. There are four bedrooms, all with built-in robes and ceiling fans. The master bedroom has a small ensuite and there is a larger family bathroom. The second dwelling is a two-bedroom granny flat and the third is the original farmhouse, which is unused but still habitable. With a total of eight bedrooms there is plenty of room for a number of families or grown-up teenagers.

MANY people have been driving for years and developed survival skills that only come with experience, and, may I say, a little luck.

Some have driven to work in peak hour, have travelled interstate numerous times, both in daylight and in darkness, with little more than a flat tyre to ruin the trip.

Now you are getting ready for retirement or decided that the kids need a more comfortable place to sleep when on holidays. The next step up from the trusty tent trailer or camper is a caravan.

What size? What layout?

How heavy? Pop-top or a full caravan? Does it need to have a shower and toilet? How do I connect it? How should I tow it?

These and many other questions can be answered by attending a four-hour caravan towing course.

At Utow Caravans we have Certificate 4 trainers who can provide the information that you need to get started on the road to success.

Our course covers areas such as:

Western Port Buying a used car

z Used caravan sales

IF youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to buy a used car, it pays to check the vehicle thoroughly to ensure you are getting value for money.

Beneath the car: Uneven tyre wear could mean misaligned steering or suspension. Check for leaks from the engine, transmission, brakes and rear axle.

The bodywork: Variations in paintwork colour, or door panels that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t line up can indicate previous smash damage. Check around

z Caravan service & repairs - Insurance repair specialist - All mechanical repairs

wheel arches for any rust problems.

The engine: If the engine oil is grey or milky, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign of water in the oil.

Worse, any sign of oil in the radiator water can mean a cracked cylinder head or faulty head gasket.

If the car isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fitted with an Australian compliance plate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably best to walk away from the deal, no matter how tempting it might seem.

WHEELS ON

Western Port

Top 10 tips to help reduce running costs USE less accelerator and use only enough pedal to maintain a constant speed. This reduces tyre wear and mechanical repairs.

Keep the battery fully charged. A constantly discharged battery will not see out its full life.

Keep your tyres at the recommended pressure. This can reduce your fuel consumption by 10% or more.

Keep your engine clean. It makes servicing easier and reduces the risk of grease and grime build-up hampering cables and other moving parts.

Fix small mechanical problems before they become larger ones. You can save expensive repairs that way.

Run your car air conditioner even in winter. Just a few minutes will prevent seals from drying out.

Make sure you check your radiator level regularly and top it up if necessary. Use

coolant, not water, as this will retard corrosion and save later repairs.

Make sure your fan belt is tensioned correctly (about 2cm free play only). A slipping belt can deteriorate quickly and cause wear to water pump and alternator bearings.

It pays to start winter with fresh engine oil. Old oil thickens and imposes extra strain on the engine, particularly on cold morning starts.

Service your car regularly.

A well tuned and maintained vehicle will perform better and more economically.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

An old-fashioned fob story

By Stuart McCullough I MAY as well have ordered a unicorn sandwich such was the gaping disbelief that greeted my enquiry. For once, I can honestly say that my intentions were good. However, much like anything else that’s good, my intentions come with an expiration date and, like a litre of full cream milk left in the sun, that date was now fast approaching. What I had thought was a simple inquiry regarding a wireless internet device was greeted with the kind of incredulity you’d expect from someone who has only now learned that the world is round rather than flat.

As faces go, this was far from a blank canvas. It was more like the wall behind a shopping centre, where delinquent youths feel free to express whatever half-formed thought happens to leap into their minds.

Indeed, the shop assistant’s face was full of confusing graffiti. His mouth was as wide and round as the third hole of a golf course designed for the very same people who demand their books in extra large print.

Worse than that the blinking absence of anything that can be described as recognition was the attempt to give a response.

He answered simply and clearly: “Actually, that doesn’t exist.”

For my part, I was reason-

ably confident that wireless internet devices do exist and that dozens if not hundreds of people use them each and every day. The shop assistant was having none of it. So far as he was concerned, I might as well have asked him for a lefthanded shovel. Indeed, had I a left-handed shovel at my disposal, only a greeting from its back end delivered with speed would have had any hope of breaking the poor young man out of his apparent stupor.

I was left a choice – either I could accept his answer and walk away or I could try to persist. It must be said, it was a highly pressurised situation,

one attributable to the fact that you had to queue up for service, but without any people at the service desk to assist. This created something of a bottleneck and I could sense that others in the queue behind me were becoming increasingly agitated.

In fact, at one point I thought a particular individual had resorted to cannibalism, but with the benefit of hindsight they may well have been McNuggets. I can’t quite be sure, though.

Taking a very deep breath, I decided that to surrender now would be to raise the little white flag on the part of any-

one who has asked a sensible question and received, for their trouble, an answer that insulted their frontal lobe and all its friends.

I was pretty sure that the assistant standing in front of me with a facial expression borrowed from a startled camel was probably aware of the wireless internet.

In fact, I was reasonably confident that he was familiar with the internet in all its various incarnations. He was, I suspected, trying to fob me off.

Nobody likes to be fobbed off. It insults the intelligence of both the fobber and the fobbee when it happens.

But the brutal truth is that there is a growing propensity for fobbism; it has never been as prominent as it now.

Indeed, you can’t dial a call centre and have your enquiry redirected to Greenland without someone attempting to brazenly fob you off.

It is an art that is intended to terminate the discussion with the greatest haste possible without simply hanging up. It was here that my telecommunications salesperson made a fatal miscalculation – he tried to fob me off in person rather than over the phone.

With the words “such a thing does not exist” still ringing in my ears (for which I really ought to see some kind of specialist), I calmly responded, “Actually, that’s not correct.”

Prior to uttering these words, I wouldn’t have thought that a human face could appear more stunned. I was wrong. What remained of his eyebrows took shelter in the depths of his scalp and his jaw plummeted towards the floor. With the assistant now so slack of jaw as to be rendered speechless, he gradually summoned what remained of his mental functioning and said the words that we all long to hear in such awkward circumstances: “I’ll get someone else.”

From the depths of the store he emerged. Short and stout, he

had the kind of beard that suggests he may well have eaten a guinea pig for breakfast and neglected to wipe his mouth afterwards.

He appeared to be half-man, quarter-hobbit with the remaining quarter resisting any attempt categorise it. His personal odour would best described as “genre defying”.

I explained to him what I was seeking. With no small amount of ceremony, he said he had once heard of the magic of which I spoke. His right hand then disappeared behind his back from whence he produced a box that provided wireless internet.

As it turns out, wireless internet is not something I imagined in a dream. If only! Had it been a product of my imagination, I would surely have devoted all my time to bringing my invention to life. I’d need help with the technical aspects of course.

Luckily, there are plenty of people in this big old world who offer the kind of technical assistance I need. The danger, of course, is that when push comes to shove comes to call centre that somebody might try to fob me off. Let me say that they have no idea who they’re dealing with. Unless, of course, they keep records of that kind of thing. But let me say now that I am not for the fobbing. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance TONY Delroy openly admits to being a bit eccentric; after all, he does preside over the witching hour, broadcasting Nightlife across midnight throughout Australia on ABC Local Radio.

Delroy’s career began while he was still in Year 12 and, as he tells it, “I got a job in the 2SM newsroom. They always say start at the bottom and the newsroom was in the basement”.

After finishing exams, Tony joined the ABC newsroom while waiting for university to start. He then worked as a late night DJ in Bathurst while studying journalism.

Delroy joined 702 ABC Sydney in 1987, filling in on everything from breakfast to afternoons, Grandstand to news bulletins, before becoming the host of the late night program.

Within two years, the program went national. Delroy says his wide range of interests is carried into the program.

He loves the hours and adores his late night family of listeners, who range from nine to 90-year-olds. Nightlife is a diverse mix of news and current affairs, lifestyle and entertainment.

Regular features include the popular quiz, money matters, science and technology. Spiritual questions, human and family topics are discussed with experts, and listeners are given opportunities to interact via talkback.

Nightlife with Tony Delroy has been heard on local ABC stations for 20 years.

ABC Music has released a 2CD set, Tony Delroy Presents Showstoppers, 40 tracks of Delroy’s favourites including the theme Gone With the Wind, Secret Love by Doris Day, Flashdance

by Irene Cara, Don’t Cry for Me Argentina by Julie Covington, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers, Ol’ Man River by Paul Robeson and tracks by great artist such as Starship, Simple Minds, Henry Mancini, Matt Monro, Harry Nilsson, Roxette, Tina Arena, Shirley Bassey, Christopher Cross, Anthony Warlow, Louis Armstrong, Hugh Jackman, David Campbell and Ethel Merman.

I say “give them an inch and they will take a mile”. *** LABOR’S new homecare reforms from July 2014 mean you don’t have to sell your soul to get into an aged care centre; more to the point, extra help for oldies who prefer to stay in the family home while waiting for St Peter.

On the other hand, Julia reduced overseas aid by $3 billion; not good, darling. Poor Gina with her 12.5 per cent of Fairfax shares was overlooked for a seat on the Fairfax board. I can’t imagine why.

A hard day in the garden and you say: “come and have a look, love” or whatever, so there’s a reason. It’s lots of things, but if there’s no one to please where’s the motivation?

A Grain of Salt CRAIG Thomson’s address to parliament was a dandy. Was he telling the truth, innocent until proven guilty, who knows? Then Tony, rubbishing the daylights out of Thomson with help from whacky Christopher Pyne but blaming Craig’s stress on Julia?

The Herald Sun had him guilty as determined by their baa-baa readers thus helping the cause toward a totalitarian state in place of a fast-diminishing democracy. Many people have read George Orwell’s 1984 or seen the movie, but has the future become the present? The power of arrest without trial or legal representation on terrorist grounds; suspending the rule of law.

Some say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and object to her release and the prospect of her making money back in Australia.

Good luck Schapelle. *** CONTINUING the totalitarianism theme: we have these ever-increasing subtle changes; Premier Ted’s mob recording anything critical of his go-

Also a piece on A Current Affair and a page spread in the Herald Sun. Why it was so important is beyond me but the reason was interesting. Apparently Andrew was suffering from a form of depression called disassociation. Come on buddy, give me a break. How about lust? *** I HEAR it almost daily in coffee shops and hotels: people complaining – the carbon tax, unemployment, importing workers from overseas, increased service charges; all Dame Julia’s fault.

Unemployment is at a reasonable five per cent, interest rates are lower than ever almost, there is no inflation so to speak and service charges are nothing to do with Canberra. Would you work in the mines, or an iron lung?

By Cliff Ellen smokers who eat organic food have an air of superiority? Labor is proposing an extension of online gambling; bad move. Passive smoking may well be the biggest con on society, but Gatorade surely runs a close second. I don’t begrudge the $5 million we donated to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee – easy come easy go. Eddie McGuire accepting a chairmanship of a $15 million Aboriginal academy? Bad move, Eddie. I should say something about Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, but there’s no need. The taxpayer-owned Futures Fund’s tobacco shares have increased in value from $147 million to $225 million. I can smell more coming from the Health Services Union. Millions of crabs at Rye – not for the first time. If you’re not rich and not poor and don’t need anything, why waste time complaining?

Sharks hold Rye, confirm flag favouritism

By Toe Punt SORRENTO led all afternoon to get the four points against Rye in the standalone MPNFL Nepean Division game on Saturday.

All other teams had the long weekend off.

Played at David MacFarlan Reserve in Sorrento, the Sharks went into the contest without Ben and Troy Schwarze and prime mover Josh Moore.

However, Sorrento was strengthened by the return of Tyrren Head, who was release by Collingwood VFL to play in the match, while Brent Kenyon was playing his second game back.

In front of a massive crowd, the Sharks gained the ascendancy early in the match and were never headed.

Rye was bold in attack and never let get the match get away, but could not get their noses in front.

The final margin of eight points was a true reflection of the game.

Both teams went into the contest with equal ranked number one defences and the score of 12.10-82 to 10.14-74 in good conditions was indicative of the strength of both defences.

It was proven by Sorrento that Rye is a one trick pony, continually looking

for Justin Van Unen up forward, whether he was the right option or not.

Against any other side, this has worked okay, but was never going to be the case against Sorrento.

On at least three or four ocassions, the Demons had the opportunity to kick a long goal, but sought Van Unen, who was always under pressure.

Chris Bagot clearly outpointed Van Unen, holding him to just four goals.

Three came from balls that went over the back of a pack.

Along with Guy Stringer, Benny McCormack and Mitch Nibbs, the Sorras’ defence was outstanding.

The Sharks were also crisp through the middle of the ground. Cayden Beetham was the best player, racking up more than 25 touches through the middle.

Daniel Grant was also sensational in the pivot for the Sharks, while Tyrren Head played in a number of positions and was first class.

Midway through the final quarter, when the game was still in the balance and the Demons were charging, Van Unen left the field with what appeared to be a hamstring injury.

quarter and despite the trainers running out to him, he remained on the field.

However, late in the quarter, running for the ball, he grabbed high on the back of his leg again and left the field.

Rye was in the contest all afternoon, but never looked good enough to win.

Sorrento was always in control.

Rhett Sutton was outstanding in the ruck and worked hard defensively, supporting the likes of Adam Kirkwood and Darren Booth, who were Rye’s best players.

Ben Cain also worked hard for the Demons in the middle of the ground and Billy Kerr was given a tagging job and did extremely well.

In better news for the Demons, Lyle House and Ben Winters-Kerr got through four quarters in the seniors, while Aaron Fiddes was superb deep forward in the twos and could be another option.

There is still no news on when Ben Holmes will return for the Demons.

In terms of Sorrento, Scott Phillips has restarted training and while the Sharks are saying he’s getting fit for cricket, he was heard telling teammates that “it was great to be back”.

Bad news for Blues

Over at Western Port, Hastings coach Glenn Michie will be lucky to play another game this season after having two pins put in his hand.

Michie was operated on last Wednesday and said it would be another eight weeks before the pins were removed. It would then be at least an additional three or four weeks before he was able to play.

Michie said it had been a tough year for his club with injuries.

“Last week in our loss to Red Hill, we were missing seven from our best side,” Michie said.

“That’s not an excuse, because we’re not playing that well either.

“Tyabb beat Crib Point a couple of weeks ago with 10 or so of their best out, so if the application and desire is there, you can get the results.

“The reality is that I’m not sure if we are doing everything we can to get the best out of ourselves – the extra training, the rehab, the mental application.

“I think there are a few of us who just

think that achieving what we did last year, we are simply going to back it up again this season.

“There is a bit of hunger missing and I think that comes down to players being out of the team and others getting a game in the seniors whether their form warrants it or not.

“I expect things to change in the coming weeks.

“Against Red Hill, we had five guys from the under-18s play in the reserves.

This week, there will be five guys in the reserves miss out on a game.

“Getting back the likes of Andrew Kiely, Mick Agnello, Mark Deveraux, Andrew Hirst and Guy Martin are really important ins for us.”

Michie said he wasn’t “overly concerned” that opposition clubs believed his side was slow, which was a strength last season.

“I think when you’re struggling for form, opposition sides make you look slow,” Michie said.

“With me out of the side, perhaps that will actually help us structually.

Maybe we’ll get a bit quicker over the ground.”

Mornington in the dog house after another 100-point plus drubbing

By Toe Punt A SUNDAY 6.30am beach recovery session might be enough to inspire Mornington into action against Langwarrin on Saturday in MPNFL Peninsula Division football.

Mornington was “disgusting” in the second half against Karingal on Saturday, resulting in the club’s fourth 100-point drubbing this season.

Coach Josh Beard said he was hoping for a more committed group to turn up against the Kangas this weekend.

“Unfortunately at the moment there is no inbetween for us – we are either good or terrible,” Beard said.

“On Saturday in the second half, it was the worst football we have played in the three years I have been with the club.

“At half-time, we had been competitive and although the opposition was well in front, there were some positives at that point.

“However, to kick two goals while Karingal kicked 15 in the second half was disgusting.”

Mornington went into the game without a number of key players including Michael Johnson, skipper Chris Paxino, Chris Baker, Michael

Bray and Michael McGowan.

“We were missing some of our bigger, stronger bodies but that’s not an excuse,” Beard said.

“You can’t make excuses for a lack of commitment and effort – everyone can produce that.”

Beard called an early morning recovery session to enable his team to reflect on the performance.

“Unfortunately, there were some who didn’t show. I’m part of the group and I got into the water with the guys – we’ve got to be in this together,” he said.

“We’ve got to bridge the gap between us and the top teams. They’ve all improved [YCW, Karingal, Chelsea and Mt Eliza] but we have to also.

“That’s the next challenge for the group – we’ve shown we have improved but the next step is being competitive againgst the best, not just those outside of the five.”

Beard said it was hard to say which was the best of the four teams that have beaten Mornington by 100-plus points this season.

“Frankston YCW has still got to be number one, but I was impressed with Karingal on Saturday,” he said.

“They have some strong depth now

with a few new faces and their bottom half a dozen players now have some quality about them. Right now, they have the goods to challenge YCW. “They [the Bulls] were very good on Saturday. They are patient, maintain posession of the footy and run and spread very well.”

It wasn’t all bad news for the Doggies. Stuart Seager made a return for Mornington and was impressive and Kallum Searle did a fantastic job across half-back.

Karingal star Michael Burke returned for the side with five goals, while Dan Noble and Chris Hay also kicked five each.

Mt Eliza booted eight goals to two in an explosive first quarter against Langwarrin, effectively ending the contest.

The Mounties maintained their stranglehold on the match in the next three quarters, booting 12 goals to seven to win 20.8-128 to 9.10-64.

Scott Lockwood booted five for the winners, while a further 11 players contributed on the scoreboard.

Jimmy Clayton was back and at his best for the Redlegs, and Sam Gill and Ben Landry also led from the front, constantly rebounding from the

back half. Aaron Shaw was the only multiple goalkicker for the Kangas with three majors, while Jarryd Amalfi and Andrew Withers were standout performers. Curtis Bywater was also a handy acquisition for the blue and white.

A week and three quarters is a long time in football, it is said. Chelsea coach Jason Chapple was ready to tear his hair out last week after a shocking defeat, but the team bounced back on the weekend to beat finals contender Seaford.

The Seagulls trailed all afternoon, but booted five gols to one behind in the final quarter to storm to a 15.15105 to 11.15-81 victory.

Key forwards Luke Damon and Chris Worner each booted two goals for the Gulls, while Nigel Carmody and Anthony Lewis with two goals were at their best.

Seaford midfielders Chris Irving and Aaron Turner were superb, but they certainly missed the contribution of gun forward Michael Kraska. Brayden Irving contributed three goals.

Bonbeach completed the expected and thumped Pines to the tune of 10 goals. The Sharks trailed at quarter time, but responded with a 10 goal

to one second quarter. Jason Ferraro and Owen Hulett each booted three for the winners while Matthew Batten and Mark Tyrell were superb. Chris Guganovic and Brendan Neville were among the best players for Pines.

Frankston YCW may have had a few of their name players out on Saturday, but was still able to manage a 71-point win over EdithvaleAspendale.

Just five goals were kicked in a boring opening half before the reigning premiers snagged 11.15 to 3.5 after the main break.

Ricky Morris booted three goals for the Stonecats and was among the team’s best, and Lew Roberts and Anthony Barry shone. Josh Leary was also back in the seniors and played well.

Timmy Mannix and Jeremy Heys were once again among the best players for the Eagles.

Still dominant: Reigning premiers Frankston YCW and Edi-Asp battled it out on the weekend with YCW able to record a handsome win despite missing key players.

Eagles and Blues kick off four days of footy Round 12 Previews Thursday 14 June West Coast v Carlton, Patersons Stadium, 7.40pm Round 12 starts off on Thursday night when the Eagles aim to reclaim top spot and the Blues try to reclaim some dignity. Carlton is behind the eight ball before this game even starts; it has had to travel after just a six-day break and West Coast has had nearly two weeks’ rest. On the weekend the Blues showed marginal improvement, but let themselves down in the last quarter when they kicked 2.9. The Eagles in their last match were upset by a fast-finishing Brisbane, their tall forwards failing to have an impact.

Carlton is playing nowhere near its best and the Eagles play well at home.

West Coast by 54 points.

Friday 15 June Adelaide v St Kilda, AAMI Stadium, 8.40pm The match of the round is on Friday night when two of the league’s in form teams play. The Crows come in off a bye and after a great win on the road against the Dockers. The Crows are flying on and off the field with the recent signings of gun midfielders Patrick Dangerfield and Rory Sloane.

The Saints are also playing well – in the past four matches they have comfortably beaten Sydney and Gold Coast and had gallant losses against the Eagles and Tigers. A problem for the Saints may be in defence with the Crows having tall forwards Taylor Walker and Kurt Tippett. I predict a really close match but the Crows should win at home.

Adelaide by 12 points.

Saturday 16 June GWS Giants v Richmond, Skoda Stadium, 2.10pm The Tigers fly north, licking their wounds after a loss on the weekend.

With confidence high the Tigers were expected to brush past the Dockers, but it was not to be. Richmond has lots of talent but consistency may be its Achilles’ heel come finals time.

For the Giants they just have to keep improving and challenge teams for as long as they can. Coach Kevin Sheedy will be telling them they can win this game. I wouldn’t be surprised if Richmond rested a few players coming up to the bye; maybe Jack Riewoldt who hurt his ankle.

At five and six, the Tigers need to keep winning matches and this is a potential percentage booster.

Richmond by 45 points.

Gold Coast v North Melbourne, Metricon Stadium, 7.40pm After a horror fortnight on and off the field, the Kangaroos will be eager

to play footy again. In just the space of a few days they lost to Hawthorn by 115 points, their CEO Eugene Arocca resigned and president James Brayshaw came under fire from all angles. The Gold Coast weren’t much better on the field when the Saints flogged them by 95 points. Champion midfielder Gary Ablett was well held

by Clinton Jones just getting the 20 disposals. Young ruck prospect Tom Hickey played very well, kicking two goals and taking seven marks. North Melbourne must win this game or all hell will break loose.

North Melbourne by 29 points.

Sunday 17 June Hawthorn v Brisbane, MCG, 1.10pm The Hawks are back in town with two big wins in a row, their most recent a 46 point thumping of Port Adelaide on the road. Full-forward Lance Franklin was the go-to man all day and he ended up kicking four goals. He came under scrutiny for a sling tackle on Paul Stewart, but will play. If Hawthorn can win well, it may end up in the top four by the end of the bye rounds. The Lions travel to Melbourne after the bye full of confidence after a great win against the Eagles. Brisbane was gone at three-quarter time, but an eight-goal last quarter and a long bomb from James Polkinghorne gave them their biggest win in a few years.

Hawthorn by 85 points.

also will be wanting to forget their last game –steamrolled by the Hawks including being smashed in disposals and inside 50s. Last year most teams struggled coming off the bye; the Bulldogs will need to be wary. This is a tough to pick but the Power has looked the better side recently.

Port Adelaide by 2 points.

Police ready for Somerville POLICE are marshalling extra forces for a friendly visit to Somerville this weekend.

Among the “extras” accompanying the highway patrol are the dog squad and Constable T Bear.

Police will be at the Somerville Football Club’s Family Day on Sunday 24 June, which is being run in conjunction with the peninsula branch of the Blue Ribbon Foundation.

The family day starts at 3.45pm at Somerville Football Club in Jones Rd. The inaugural Blue Ribbon under10s match will see 73 players wearing Blue Ribbon arm bands.

Players awarded best on ground from each team will take home Blue Ribbon medallions.

Children can meet Constable T Bear the Blue Ribbon mascot as well as inspect police highway cars, a police motorcycle and the dog squad.

Match umpires will be from Victoria Police.

“The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation enjoys the trust and support of our community,” founder of the Blue Ribbon Peninsula branch Darryl Nation said.

“A medal will be awarded to a player of each team based on fairness and sportsmanship.

“We want the boys to have a great match but above all to come off the field as friends and maybe this will encourage them to do the right thing both on and off the field.”

Somerville’s 240 players and their families have been invited to dine at the club after the family day game.

“The day is about raising awareness, and portraying at Somerville Football Club that it’s not only just about football, it’s about the community and making sure the boys are aware of different foundations and community values,” Somerville club spokesman Geoff Tozer said.
