Road safety catalyst for race to the top PREPARATIONS are well underway for this year’s Arthurs Seat Challenge fun run from Rosebud to the top of Arthurs Seat.

At last week’s event launch students from Woodleigh School, Mt Eliza Secondary College, Toorak College and Rosebud Secondary College spoke about the benefits of the Fit 2 Drive program funded by the challenge.

They said the program gave them skills that they would carry with them throughout their entire time as young road users.

People aged 18-24 years are the most at risk group on the roads, with P-platers in their first year of driving, being 30 times more likely to crash than a more experienced driver.

The Arthurs Seat Challenge highlights the importance of relevant road safety education for young people and helps schools pay for the Fit 2 Drive road safety program for year 11 students.

The Arthurs Seat Challenge fun run will be held Sunday 8 November, starting at Rosebud pier and finishing at Seawinds Gardens at the summit of Arthurs Seat.

Organisers expect more than 2000 competitiors in the 6.7km climb to the summit. Register at www.arthursseatchallenge.com.au “Road safety message to save lives”, Page 5

Risks rise with water levels Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE latest studies into rising sea levels show beaches and foreshores will be affected throughout Western Port, with the biggest loss of land to inundation occurring in the northern section of the bay.

While beaches from Somers to Flinders with steeper foreshores will in large part retain their existing profiles,

erosion is expected to increase as cliffs become more exposed to the sea.

The studies also warn that underground water supplies will increasingly be salt affected.

Land surrounding the bay’s tidal channels, such as those at Hastings and Merricks Creek, will also come under increasing pressure from rising levels in Western Port and water flowing from the land.

The latest data on projected sea level rise, storm surge and erosion in Western

Port is contained in the Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment.

The study area includes all shorelines of Western Port and French Island, as well as the northern shorelines of Phillip Island from Newhaven to Seal Rocks.

Although the study does not predict the effects of rising sea levels on properties, it does take account of such existing coastal structures as Yaringa Boat harbour, Somerville, the Port of Hastings, Western Port Marina, the

Crib Point and Stony Point jetties and the HMAS Cerberus defence base, the Blind Bight boat ramp, the Cowes Jetty, Phillip Island Bridge and rock walls at Tooradin.

The report says beaches between Balnarring and Somers are already being eroded.

“Western Port has significant social, economic, built and natural values that have been identified as at risk from the impacts of sea level rise and storm surge,” Department of Environment,

Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), regional manager, Rod Anderson said.

“This assessment brings together the best historical knowledge of the Western Port coastline with detailed modelling and projected sea level rise data for the years 2040, 2070 and 2100.

“The modelling from the assessment will help land managers and owners in Western Port to make decisions about how to prepare and respond to climate risks along the coast.”

Brave attendant grounds counter jumper Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au STAFF at the United service station in Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings, are pleased no one was injured – and no money stolen – when a hooded bandit tried to rob them early Friday morning.

In the incident a man carrying a tyre lever entered the servo just after 2am. He approached the counter and demanded money from the till before attempting to jump the counter.

But, with the would-be thief almost over the counter, the 25-year-old store attendant gamely pushed him backwards. The man swung the tyre iron, narrowly missing the attendant’s head.

The brave attendant then ran around the counter and gave chase as his assailant ran out of the store where he was driven away in a waiting late model white Holden station wagon.

Word from his colleagues on Tuesday morning was that their colleague was “feeling pretty good” and had suffered no injuries. He is now away on holidays.

Detectives from Frankston Embona Task Force are appealing for witnesses to the robbery attempt and have released CCTV footage of a man they wish to speak to in relation to the incident.

He is described as being 20-25, 172cm tall, of slim build and wearing a black hooded jacket, black beanie, blue denim jeans and Conversetype runners.

Anyone with information about the incident can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic. com.au

Video images: The man police wish to speak to regarding the bungled service station robbery at Hastings.

Jewellery store raid A SORRENTO jewellery store burglary at 3.30am, Tuesday 3 June, is being investigated by Rosebud Crime Investigation Unit detectives.

They believe three offenders were parked near the store in Ocean Beach Rd in a late model Suzuki Swift.

One used an axe to enter the store. When he was inside, a second offender carrying a shopping bag joined him and they removed jewellery

and other items from display cases. The third offender stayed with the car.

Police believe that the trio are responsible for burglaries at a service station on Western Port Hwy, Lyndhurst, and a service station on Frankston-Flinders Rd, Frankston South, earlier the same morning.

Anyone with information about the burglaries is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Line runner: The bells are ringing, the boom gates are down and there’s a headlight heading down the railway line from Stony towards Hastings. But there’s no rumble or flashing glimpse of a train as the cars and other road vehicles line up behind the barrier.

The only thing on the line is a four-wheel bogey carrying a tracked earth mover. The equipment is being used to fix axle counters on the line which trigger the boom gates before the arrival of trains. Line manager Metro says trains should be back on the line by the end of the month. Meanwhile, passengers are being ferried by buses to stations between Stony Point and Frankston.

Call for green alert on port’s future Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au OPPONENTS to a container port at Hastings are being warned not to give up the fight just because the state government plans to lease the Port of Melbourne with guarantees of no competition for 50 years.

The Preserve Western Port Action Group wants the government to “pursue sustainable developments that support the tourism and recreational boating industries” as an alternative to further industrialising Western Port.

The group was Infrastructure Victoria to begin its assessment of whether Bay West in Port Phillip or Hastings is the best location for the state’s next container port.

“Detailed submissions will be sought and the government will then decide and legislate on the location before the next state election,” the action group’s president Geoff Nottle said.

“The most persuasive arguments put forward by vested interests will win out and the government is clearly seeking to avoid the political pain of the final decision.”

The action group is also wary of statements by Ports Minister Luke Donnellan and Hastings Port Development Authority CEO Mike Lean that Hastings could be a port for “bulk” commodities.

The group and other environmental-

ists are likely to oppose any moves to use Hastings for exporting brown coal from the La Trobe Valley or increase shipments of petroleum products and natural liquefied gas (LNG).

Ports Minister Luke Donnellan told the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee on 22 May that the government is “expecting the Port of Hastings Development Authority to chase opportunities in bulk to continue to grow the port down there”.

“There are enormous opportunities, obviously, in relation to storage of petroleum, because we are importing so much petroleum now.

“I would also like to see them look at chasing down business in the energy sector, because the Latrobe Valley has enormous brown coal deposits, gas and so forth.”

Mr Nottle told The News on Monday that although the government was being “pretty vague” about Hastings being a bulk port, “we would oppose any increase in shipping … or making Western Port another industrialised waterway”.

In a news release from the action group Mr Nottel quotes Mr Donnellan as telling the parliamentary committee that “development of the second container port will be demand driven, with timing determined when the Port of Melbourne reaches capacity”.

“The possibility of a state government industrialising Westernport and building a container port at Hastings is

still 100 per cent on the table and our community needs to be aware that this can happen,” Mr Nottle states.

“This ‘demand driven’ approach of the government to a container port is in stark contrast to the build it and they may come approach of the former Liberal National Party government.

“While the economic drivers for the huge investment may have changed, the possibility of Hastings being a container port has not.”

Mr Donnellan has also told the parliamentary committee: “I think we really need a thorough and rigorous analysis by Infrastructure Victoria - by economists, transport planners and the like - to actually get it right. I think we need to, as much as we can, put it into an independent entity to do it, not to put it into the hands of politicians.

“In terms of when we need to make a decision, we would make it during this term.”

Mr Nottel said Bass Coast Shire Council wanted its views to be considered by Infrastructure Victoria.

“With tourism contributing $653 million to the Phillip Island (Bass Coast Shire) economy in 2012-13 representing, 37.9 per cent of gross regional product, employing 5700 people and providing 38.2 per cent of regional employment the adverse impact of a container port could devastate the economy,” Mr Nottel said. Recreational boating added another $500m a year to Western Port’s economy.

Lasting impression: A hooded plover takes refuge in a footprint left on a beach within Mornington Peninsula National Park.

Plover numbers state’s worst FIGURES released by BirdLife Australia last week confirm the disappointing hooded plover breeding season on the Mornington Peninsula.

The News reported in March that just four chicks survived to fledgling [flying] stage out of 34 chicks that hatched and final figures match this.

BirdLife members monitored 156 pairs on Victorian surf beaches from the far west to south Gippsland. In total 67 birds fledged. The peninsula was the worst area in the state followed by south Gippsland with five chicks.

Best results occurred in the far west region with 25 chicks surviving to fledge. Phillip Island had 12. All other zones had single figures.

There are fewer than 600 hooded plovers left in Victoria.

In February, Nepean MP Martin Dixon called on the state government to introduce a total ban on dogs in Mornington Peninsula National Park but the Labor state government’s environment minister Lisa Neville rejected the call and accused Mr Dixon of “waging war on dog walke rs”.

Road safety message designed to save lives AROUND 2000 students from 22 schools will attend three Teenagers Road Accident Group presentations at the Peninsula Community Theatre this month. Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill will be guest speaker on Tuesday 28 July.

The first, on Monday 15 June, will host eight schools and 616 students; the next day (Tuesday) eight schools and 795 students and the third, on Tuesday 28 July, six schools and 589 students.

The message could save their lives.

Project manager Cindy Last said TRAG’s innovative program gives the students an insight into the dangers of modern driving.

Speakers consist of CFA, ambulance and police members, and those who have first-hand experience with road trauma. “Our goal is to raise the awareness of young adults as to their responsibilities when they get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle,” she said.

TRAG’s 45-minute presentation targets students in Years 10, 11 and 12. A three-minute video places them at the scene of several serious accidents on the Mornington Peninsula.

An ambulance officer - usually the first to arrive at an accident scene - details the type of devastation he encounters. A CFA firefighter then describes spending sometimes hours cutting open twisted wrecks to release seriously injured victims. A police officer speaks about the ordeal of attend-

ing accidents involving young people, the trauma of telling families and friends that their loved one has been killed or injured, and the responsibility that drivers have in ensuring the safety of their passengers, other road users and themselves.

Later, surviving victims and relatives of road accidents tell of the lifelong effect of road trauma.

“We believe that if this program saves one life then we have achieved our goal,” she said. “We want young

people to drive safely and responsibly but, more importantly, to Drive 4 Life.

“The program is very thought provoking and designed to open up many avenues of follow-up work within the curriculum. It is especially relevant to two areas of the Victorian Essential Learning Standard in Health and Physical Education at Level 6 and driver education programs.”

TRAG is funded by local community organisations. Presentations are free.

Awards mum coped with ‘baggage and all’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

It’s iconic: Simon Ushaknov’s icon Last Supper, circa 1685.

Russian icons are topical A TALK on Russian Icons and Art: Beyond the Golden Age will be presented by Marian Vickery at the Friends of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on Monday 15 June.

As a small child, visiting her Russian grandmother and great grandmother in Mornington, Ms Vickery said she was captivated by the Russian Icons on their walls. With one side of this family descended from 10 generations of Russian priests, and the other from Russian princes, she was fascinated by the art and culture of Russia.

This led to her studying Fine Arts and Russian Literature and Society at Melbourne University.

She said the icon has been an integral part of Russian culture and religion since coming to Russia from the Greek Byzantium, together with Eastern Orthodoxy, in 988.

They enjoyed a golden age in the 14th and 15th centuries, with the works of masters such as Theophanes the Greek, Andrei Rublev, and Dionysii celebrated. In this period,

Russian icons took on characteristics notably different from their Byzantine forerunners.

Her lecture traces the emergence of western influences on Russian art during the reigns of Ivan the Great, Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great.

Morning tea is at 10.30 followed by the talk 11am-noon. The cost is $7 members and $10 public.

Dogs off-leash MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire wants feedback about the leash-free dog walking area at Tassells Cove, Safety Beach.

It says seeking public comment is part of its “ongoing commitment to responsible dog ownership” and “ensuring areas for exercising dogs are provided in safe and appropriate locations for the whole community”.

Comments can be made up to 31t July by email to customerservice@ mornpen.vic.gov.au or mailed to Mornington Peninsula Shire, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939.

A MORNINGTON woman has been named a Barnardos Mother of the Year 2015 national finalist at a recent awards night in Sydney.

Barnardos Australia is one of the leading child protection charities in Australia.

Dreena Lawrence-Gray was presented with her award by the Prime Minister Tony Abbott and his wife Margie. She was nominated by her daughter-in-kind Lana Guest.

Ms Lawrence-Gray was a single mum who already had a “lively, rebellious teenager” when she made the decision to invite another one into her home. Lana Guest, then 17, was a troubled friend of her daughter’s.

Born to heroin-addicted parents, Lana was just two when her father died and her mother abandoned her to a life of mental, physical and sexual abuse.

Lana, now 22, nominated her foster mum in the award for choosing to take her in and look after her as one of her own – “baggage and all”.

“I met Dreena when I was 17 after befriending her daughter, Rijana, who I had met out and about while I was living part time with my grandparents and part time on friends’ couches,” Lana said.

“I was also struggling with drug addiction and had just dropped out of school. I started spending more time with Rijana and Dreena asked me one day if I wanted to move in.

“I initially felt like a burden and wasn't too sure but, after much consideration, I decided I would and it turned my life around. Dreena made me feel like I was a part of the family and to this day I introduce her as my mother.”

Under Ms Lawrence-Gray’s watchful eye, Lana cleaned up her act, got a job and discovered the simple joy of family. “Dreena has opened so many

doors for me and I hold her responsible for the positive changes I made to my life,” she said.

“Without her huge generous heart and her beautiful family I would not be the person I am today - I might not even be here today at all.”

Ms Lawrence-Gray also works for the Heart Foundation and school crossings Victoria.

Hurry for June only All measure and quotes will be discounted by the Days Highest Temperature Beam me up, Bruce: Small Business Minister Bruce Billson has taken to selling the small business message in the federal government’s budget at warp factor speed. Picture: Yanni

Budget: the final frontier Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au STARDATE 2015. These are the voyages of the Small Business Minister Bruce Billson.

His mission: to explore strange new business tax deductions, to seek out new cost savings and new Liberal Party policies, to boldly go where no man has gone before?

If this mission statement sounds a bit “out there” beyond the higher-profile stars of the Abbott cabinet, then allow The News to explain.

The federal MP for Dunkley has been out spruiking the Abbott government’s second budget and its focus on small business has seen Mr Billson elevated to the command deck of government.

The irrepressible Minister for Small Business has been doing the media rounds to push small businesses as “the engine room of our economy”.

While spreading this message, Mr Billson has been keen to use a catchphrase of his own. He hopes to “energise enterprise”.

Fans of sci-fi TV show Star Trek may find the phrase to be familiar.

“Energise” is the word crew members of the starship Enterprise use to ask to be teleported – or “beamed up” in Star Trek parlance – aboard the ship from an alien planet’s surface.

The Dunkley MP’s use of the words “energise enterprise” or “energising enterprise” has multiplied since budget night early in May like an everexpanding cluster of Tribbles.

A Google News search of the phrases coupled with Mr Billson’s name shows more than 50 direct hits although none, thankfully, on the starboard bow.

Despite his best efforts, including an address to the National Press Club in Canberra late last month about “energising enterprise”, Mr Billson’s continual push to see “Energise enterprise” enter the

modern political lexicon has had somewhat less success than other Liberal slogans such as “Axe the tax”, “Stop the boats” and this year’s budget cry of “Have a go”.

When interviewing Mr Billson about the budget last month, The News suggested the two-word “Energise enterprise” slogan did not fit the three onesyllable word formula so beloved of Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

Mr Billson admitted “Energise enterprise” is “quite the slogan” but “it’s my favourite one”.

“In all seriousness, the art of governing and political leadership is complicated and often at times there are a great deal of issues to be considered and work to be done,” he said.

“There’s not much point doing all of that work if you’re not in a position to communicate what it is that’s motivating you and what it is you’re trying to achieve.

“I’m realistic to know the majority of people don’t live and breathe these issues each day.”

He said many media commentators are critical of political communication but there is a need to connect with voters.

“I could run through the months and months and hundreds of pages of work that have gone into the small business and jobs package … but that’s beyond most people’s appetite for the topic.

“You do need to encapsulate at times quite a range of different thoughts and ideas into a method to get ideas across without boring people witless.”

The News politely declined the offer to go through hundreds of pages of small business minutiae due to ever looming deadlines but appreciated the offer.

And with that, he was off, off to speak to another journalist on his ongoing mission to “energise enterprise”.

Or at least keep saying the two words in the hope it catches on with a wider political audience.

Mural celebrates long-gone era

HASTINGS Community House will hold an indoor craft market 9am-3pm, Saturday 20 June. Browse the stalls then enjoy a sausage sizzle and morning tea or coffee. The hall is at 185 High St, Hastings. Entry is by donation.

PENINSULA artist Simon White’s eye-catching mural of the old Red Hill train is on the side brick wall at Red Hill Trading Co. on the Red HillShoreham Rd. “I painted the mural in exterior acrylic paints over three layers of exterior primer,” he said. “The idea was to celebrate the Red Hill train that ran from the 1920s-1950s.

“It was used to transport passengers and local produce to Bittern and Dromana. It was very difficult to plan a railway up the hill and took some time and persistence from local farmers, but it was greatly celebrated when completed.”

White, 45, says he works predominately as a painter, but also enjoys drawing, photography and sculpture. He has had solo exhibitions at The Art Shed, Red Hill and Manyung Gallery, Mt Eliza.

Time to fight crime on the Beach St front BATTLING Frankston’s “negative image” – especially at shopping hubs in Beach St – was the topic of discussion at Tuesday night’s FUNC meeting in Karingal Place Neighbourhood Centre.

Frankston United Neighbours Connect secretary Tracey Hopgood said a daily paper’s description of thefts and vandalism in the long street, and how traders were overwhelmed by crime,

were sullying the area’s reputation.

“We were frustrated by the negativity,” she said. “There are a lot of really good Frankston residents.”

FUNC wants to put residents on the front foot when it comes to tackling crime. “We don’t want them to feel afraid or intimidated,” Ms Hopgood said.

“We don’t want people to think that

crime is just a police responsibility. It’s all our problem and change can come very quickly if we all get together and become involved.”

Because of the length of Beach St, the group will hold three trader meetings over the next few weeks to thrash out problems and work out counter strategies.

Begun about a year ago when a few

residents in three streets banded together to combat street crime and rooming house issues, FUNC now has representatives in 14 streets and about 140 members.

Ms Hopgood urged residents to call Triple 000 if they witness a street crime, rather than their local police station. “In that way, the crimes still get reported to the police for immediate

action, but they also are collated into statistics which can be used to detect patterns of crime,” she said.

In the past, this concerted action by residents has resulted in “pushing people along – particularly drug dealers,” Ms Hopgood said, “rather than risking arrest by staying in an obviously targeted area.

Hospice moves into new home PENINSULA Home Hospice (PHH) has launched a $5m campaign to pay for its new Mornington headquarters.

The building will provide the first permanent home for the 30-year-old organisation that supports people suffering from a terminal illness.

The service offers free palliative care, counselling and therapies to patients and their families in the municipalities of Mornington Peninsula, Frankston and Kingston (south of Mordialloc Creek).

Small charges may apply to care by the Royal District Nursing Service (RDNS) and the use of specialist equipment.

Directors of PHH bought 327 Main St, Mornington, in April after research and “years of coping with leases ending, moving, changes of address, operating out of crowded, separated premises and moving some of their team into commercially rented offices”, CEO Rachel Bovenizer said.

The money came from a community bank loan and PHH’s own cash reserves.

The $5 million raised through the appeal will pay for the building and modifications.

“Continued operation from multiple sites is not cost efficient, it causes an unavoidable level of professional disconnect between management, administration, clinical staff and volunteers who work in an emotional and complex field that requires optimal teamwork and cohesion,” Ms Bovenizer said.

“Finding a permanent home for the hospice will not only give the security that the organisation requires to take us comfortably into the future, but will allow for the forecast growth in client numbers and the increase in staff to meet that need.”

The PHH care team includes specialist palliative care nurses, RDNS nurses, a palliative medical consultant, counsellors and therapists, a spiritual care worker and client care volunteers.

The aim of the care team is to enable the ter-

Support to the families continues for up to 18 months after the death of their relative.

Statistics show that on any single day PHH helps more than 190 people and their families.

The hospice foundation, established this year as a capital fundraising committee of PHH, will begin approaching potential donors and seeking public help in the next few months.

“We must be careful not to undermine the extraordinary work done by our hard working fund raising committees,” board director and foundation committee member Rosemary Redston said.

“While we receive some generous recurrent state government funding, it is our auxiliaries who raise the necessary additional funds required to maintain our services each year.”

Board Director, Tony Vaughan said the new building will enable PHH “to not only secure its future tenancy and accommodate the demand on its services, which will increase with the predicted future population growth, but also to embrace the latest best practice in palliative care and create a facility that will be considered a centre of excellence in its field”.

PHH Foundation ambassador Sue McCarthy said contributions would be sought from “philanthropic members of our community who value the wonderful work done by Peninsula Home Hospice”.

Elder abuse in focus WORLD Elder Abuse Awareness Day on Monday 15 June will focus attention on the suffering being inflicted on older people.

This includes any act which causes harm, usually by someone they know and trust, such as a family member, partner or friend. The abuse may be physical, social, financial, psychological or sexual and can include mistreatment and neglect.

The World Health Organisation estimates that up to 10 per cent of older people experience elder abuse worldwide.

“All older people have the right to live in safety, be treated with dignity and respect and to make their own decisions,” Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said. “They must be empowered to recognise signs of elder abuse from family, friends and carers, and encouraged to speak out.”

Seniors Rights Victoria can help older people respond to and prevent elder abuse.

Free services include a helpline, specialist legal services, short-term support and advocacy for individuals, and community and professional education. They also provide leadership on policy and law reform and work with organisations and groups to raise awareness of elder abuse.

Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders members will be at Rosebud Plaza manning an information table on Monday afternoon, and radio 98.7 RPP will broadcast information across all the day’s programs.

If you, or someone you know, is experiencing elder abuse, visit seniorsrights.org. au or call the free, confidential helpline on 1300 368 821.

Kinder upgrades top of the class IMPROVEMENTS at Baxter Kindergarten and Children’s Centre was officially opened on Saturday 30 May by Families and Children minister Jenny Mikakos.

About 50 people attended the opening and then took the chance to explore the kinder, find out about its programs and services and join in the celebrations.

The upgrade was paid for by Mornington Peninsula Shire ($1.2 million), state government ($300,000) and the kinder ($165,000).

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb said a second room was added and the old playroom refurbished. There was landscaping and upgrades to the outdoor play space.

Improved kinder services and access to programs would provide better services to children and families, and the second room would improve the delivery of programs.

The centre provides three and four-year-old kinder and occasional care.

“The redevelopment and upgrade has created a local facility that now truly meets the needs of its community,” Cr Colomb said.

“The upgraded facility is a modern and suitable building with exciting outdoor play spaces and extra kinder places. It also offers greater space for meetings and other activities for children and their families.”

Cr Bowden said she was proud of the kinder and its achievements. “In April it was successful in applying for National Occasional Care funding through the state government and, in May, it was awarded an Excellent rating by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Authority. This is the highest rating an education and care service can achieve.”

Baxter Kindergarten and Children’s Centre is at 26 Olstead Drive, Baxter. The council-owned facility is run by volunteers.

Permanent plea for Yarrabah Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A SPECIAL needs school in Aspendale has special needs of its own.

Rising enrolments at the school, which provides programs and curriculums for children with intellectual and psychical disabilities, is putting pressure on its portable facilities.

Principal Matthew Harris said 20 of the school’s 24 buildings are relocatable “temporary” buildings and a plan and funding are needed to provide a permanent school “for our students with disabilities to be provided with the best facilities they deserve”.

“The school is growing and as we grow we continue to add relocatable buildings.”

“A relocatable master plan has been talked about but that’s not good enough. We need a master plan for a permanent school.”

The school has 155 school aged students between the ages of 5-18, about 65 kinder aged students and also runs a playgroup.

“We’re expected enrolments of the school aged program will go up to 170 as a conservative figure,” Mr Harris said.

He said the Department of Education provides more relocatable classrooms as student numbers rise but it has reached a point where this is unsustainable in the long term.

Families from the Kingston area and as far afield as Frankston, Carrum Downs and the Mornington Peninsula enrol students at the school.

“The school has certainly shown that it can cater for a big enrolment and the programs and the curriculum is very popular among the community which is why we have so many choos-

ing to come here,” Mr Harris said.

Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson has asked Education Minister James Merlino to visit Yarrabah School to see “an exceptional example of giving all students with special needs the best possible outcomes”.

“Yarrabah has experienced unprecedented growth in student numbers in the region,” Mr Richardson said.

“In 1990 Yarrabah had a total of 19 children and it has expanded year on year to over 150 children today.

“The motto of Yarrabah School is ‘The small school with a big heart’, and the school is renowned in our community.

“I believe we need to assess the long-term requirements and needs at Yarrabah and determine whether current arrangements are appropriate.

Mr Richardson hoped the state government can work with the school community and determine its future demands to “get the best outcomes for the students and their families on site”.

Studies reveal rising risks for Western Port’s coast Continued from Page 1 Detailed assessments were made of four areas along the coast including from Balnarring to Somers in the south.

Mr Anderson said the study’s results would “influence future planning decisions, emergency management frameworks, local infrastructure maintenance, and regional climate adaptation planning” by all levels of government.

“It will also be used to continue conversations so that we can better understand community values and priorities in Western Port, and to identify opportunities for collaborative action on climate change.”

The Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment project is funded by the Victorian Government and delivered in partnership with Melbourne Water, South East Councils Climate Change Alliance, and the municipalities of Bass Coast, Cardinia, Casey and Mornington Peninsula.

Western Port News 9 June 2015

Kirner inspired disadvantaged places Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au JOAN Kirner’s influence on the Mornington Peninsula will be felt long into the future.

Victoria’s first and only woman Premier co-founded the Landcare movement in 1985 when she was Minister for Conservation, Forests and Lands.

With Victorian Farmers Federation president Heather Mitchell, Ms Kirner oversaw the development of a program that has reversed the degradation of farmland, public land and waterways throughout the state.

Last week the Landcare organisation paid tribute to Ms Kirner, who died on Monday 1 June at age 76 of cancer of the oesophagus. (Ms Kirner never smoked.)

The organisation said the former Labor MP “recognised the value and importance of implementing Landcare as a policy, leading to its adoption as a national initiative”.

By the end of 1986 there were about 10 Landcare groups in Victoria. It was launched as a national program in 1989 and has grown to about 5000 groups across Australia.

The peninsula has 12 groups, which joined forces to form Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network last year. This followed the appointment in 2012 of Dr Jacqueline Salter as the peninsula’s Landcare coordinator after Mornington Peninsula Shire was given a grant by the state government in late 2011 to fund a coordinator and develop other initiatives.

Ms Kirner continued to support Landcare after leaving state politics and was a judge at the 2012 national

Landcare awards.

She is remembered in the Hastings district as a hero for helping reinstate funding for the town’s neighborhood renewal program in September 2009, which had been cut by two years by the Labor government in May. The Hastings project had been due to run for eight years, from 2006-13.

It was one of 19 in Victoria, including at Rosebud West and Frankston North, started by the Labor government to revive disadvantaged communities with concentrations of public housing. The projects brought together resources and ideas of residents, governments, businesses and community groups.

The proposed cut generated anger and dismay in Hastings, and saw an intense lobbying campaign lead by Ms Kirner.

Housing and Local Government Minister Richard Wynne was besieged when he visited Hastings in mid-2009 and the funding was reinstated in September.

Former neighbourhood renewal project manager Pam Ford said Ms Kirner first visited Hastings in her role as communities ambassador for the state government.

“She came to the steering committee and other meetings over a three-year period 2009-11 and was welcomed by people of all political persuasion.

There was standing room only when she spoke inspirationally about her passion for community and what could be achieved through active involvement. The ‘Voice of Hastings Choir’ put on special performances for her,” Ms Ford said.

“Joan Kirner helped secure $3 mil-

lion for the Hastings Community Hub renovation. It was converted from a derelict and condemned building to a fantastic asset for Hastings and Mornington Peninsula Shire.”

(Money for the renovation included $2.1 million from the federal government, $730,000 from the state government, and about $60,000 plus in-kind contribution from the shire.)

“Joan also helped secure funding for a family violence program at Hastings after the renewal project funding ended in 2013. This later became a community safety group based at the Hub, which continues to operate and has conducted community awareness sessions,” Ms Ford said.

“Long before the issue of family violence became so prominent, Joan was responsible for setting up and overseeing programs at neighbourhood renewal sites to address this most serious issue.”

Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said: “Joan Kirner was an inspiration to many for her leadership on women’s rights and social justice issues, and her passionate belief in the power of education to transform lives”.

“Many on the Mornington Peninsula were fortunate to have shared in her warmth and wisdom through her direct involvement in community and neighbourhood renewal programs in Rosebud West and Hastings. Her guidance and support of these initiatives helped to deliver tangible, long-term empowerment for residents to have the confidence and resilience to address challenges and build stronger communities. She has left an indelible mark on Victoria’s and Australia’s history.”

Quarry back on waste agenda David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE worked-out Pioneer quarry in Dromana could be used as a waste “bulk haul station” for consolidation of rubbish before it is transported in larger trucks to tips in Hampton Park or Werribee.

This is despite Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new Waste and Resource Recovery draft report nominating a site in Dromana’s industrial estate for such a facility.

In manoeuvring highly reminiscent of that in a 2009 shire waste management report, the focus of the latest document is on expanding the shire tip, or landfill, at Rye, but with alternative waste technology (AWT) as the preferred option. The shire uses the acronym AWT to describe both waste “technology” and waste “treatment”.

Expanding Rye was also the theme of the 2009 report, with the Pioneer quarry option mentioned discreetly. No provision was made in the subsequent shire budget to expand Rye, leading to speculation that the shire had assumed the quarry would get the green light.

The Environment Protection Authority refused use of the quarry as a tip in September 2013.

Then, rather than falling back on the Rye option, the latest waste study was launched, arriving at the same conclusion – expand Rye. This study, dated April 2015, describes as “AWT” the shire practices of composting; sorting of recyclables; and waste separation.

In the United States, Europe and many other places, high-temperature incinerators are regarded as modern alternative “technology”. These are not likely to be available to the shire for years, if not decades, and would probably be a state gov-

ernment initiative.

The latest report does not detail incinerators as a possibility. It states, however, the shire will support alternatives to landfill, “including an increase in the landfill levy”, currently $58.50 a tonne, collected from users of shire waste disposal facilities.

Expansion of the Rye landfill, predicted to be full by the end of 2017, was vigorously opposed

by Rye residents at a public meeting last Tuesday.

The preferred option, the report states, is for “further development of the western portion” of Rye, followed by other expansion. Full development at Rye would expand the life of the site by 24 years, to 2041, the report states.

The second option is to move waste off the peninsula via a “bulk haul” facility, located at Rye, Mornington, Tyabb or “centrally located (Dromana)”.

The report notes that “options 1 to 3 have a limited life, after which the Dromana option will be required.

The report clearly favours the fourth option.

No location in Dromana was given in the main report but Brasser Ave in the town’s industrial estate was listed in an earlier report, Business case: Options for the disposal of landfill waste in the short to medium term, released in February 2015.

At the Tuesday meeting it was suggested the shire depot in Brasser Ave could be used. This would almost certainly lead to spirited opposition from nearby residents and others.

The depot’s location so close to homes could rule it out, leaving the quarry as the fallback Dromana bulk haul site, much as the quarry was the “real” site in 2009.

A suggestion that the landfill at Hampton Park would be the logical place to take peninsula

waste drew a response from meeting chair Cr David Gibb – who has been involved in shire waste management for many years – that Hampton Park would be full in 13 years. A council officer said its expected life was 15-20 years.

The News has been told the Hampton Park landfill could expand into an adjacent quarry that would take waste for many more years but a Suez Environnement spokeswoman said the company had “no current plan to purchase adjoining property”.

(The landfill in Hallam Rd, Hampton Park, was operated for years by SITA Australia. In March, SITA Australia, Degrémont, and Process Group came under the parent company’s name, Suez Environnement.)

The shire stated in its 2009 report that the pen-

insula’s waste would need to be trucked to Werribee, 130 kilometres away. The report did not mention the Hampton Park landfill.

The Pioneer quarry is owned by the Ross Trust, operator of Hillview Quarries. Having lost its bid for a tip in the quarry, it has been negotiating with the shire for a new use for the site. It is believed high-level talks with the shire have been occurring for some time.

Under the terms of its permit to extract stone, the trust must rehabilitate the disused quarry, which is infested with weed species that have escaped into adjacent Arthurs Seat State Park. The cost of cleaning up the site could run into millions of dollars.

Search and rescue: Mornington resident Michael Turner has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for community work with Marine Rescue Victoria.

A MORNINGTON Marine Rescue Victoria volunteer has been awarded the Emergency Service Medal (ESM) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

The list recognises a diverse range of contributions and service across all fields, including professional endeavours, community service, Defence and Emergency Services personnel, and acts of bravery.

Michael John Turner, of Mornington, began his community work in 1990 with the then Mornington Community Bay Rescue Service.

He has taken a key role in provisioning and maintaining boats and equipment, as well as turning out and managing the vessels. Along the way he has taken a lead role in mentoring young members and supporting and training other members.

His citation describes him as “one of the mainstays of the service’s school education program, delivering safety talks and demonstrations with others to primary and secondary school groups over many years.

“His contribution has been in keeping with the finest traditions of volunteer service.”

Mr Turner, a former British merchant seaman, said he was “passionate” about the rescue service and was “fortunate to be able to work with

a great bunch of guys”.

Recalling his most exciting rescue came easily when he spoke to The News on Friday. “In the early 1990s we were out looking for a missing surf skier about 6am somewhere between here and Sandringham.

“Technology has come a long way since then because we didn’t even know where Sandringham was. I remember it was very rough and the water was cold.

“We were somewhere off Patterson River [Carrum] when, all of a sudden, he came over the top of a huge wave and we spotted him and I called out ‘Hard to starboard’. The skier kept disappearing in the huge seas but then we got him alongside and he was at the end of his rope because he’d been out all night. He was as grateful as we were to get him aboard.”

Janet Stuart Oliver, of Mornington, was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for “services to conservation and the environment, and to the community of the Mornington Peninsula”.

Valerie Joan Wilson, also of Mornington, was awarded a OAM for “service to the community of Mornington as an historian”.

Farm thieves meet market demand Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au BURGLARIES at two farms in Tuerong have highlighted the risks residents take in leaving their property unguarded in unlocked sheds and garages.

Detective Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Mornington police, said “thousands of dollars” in handyman tools and equipment, including a generator, nail gun and sporting equipment, was stolen from the large rural properties on 21 May. These goods will make their way onto the second-hand market, where naïve – or unscrupulous – buyers will snap them up for unrealistically cheap prices, he said.

Last week police raided three Hastings properties looking for stolen goods, and, at one address, found a previously stolen chainsaw which the occupant reportedly had bought for $300 second-hand. He was the “innocent party” in the transaction but had to forfeit the chainsaw to police.

“Out of 80 burglaries we investigated last month – in Bittern, Safety Beach, Dromana, Red Hill, Main Ridge and Tuerong – a high proportion of goods had been stolen from sheds and holiday homes,” Det. Vallas said.

“There could be $20,000 worth of tools and equipment in them but the owner still leaves the doors unlocked

– and yet every tradie needs tools so there is always a ready market for thieves,” he said.

“We have got to get the message through. Owners must write down the makes, models, serial numbers and purchase details of all their equipment – and take photographs – so that, if anything gets stolen, we can return it.

“The details can be stored online, on memory sticks, in diaries – anywhere – but we need that information as proof of purchase so we can return stolen items to their rightful owners.”

Det Vallas said external movement lights, quality locks, chains and padlocks deterred thieves, who didn’t want their job made any harder. He urged those buying second-hand tools to get the names and addresses of sellers before agreeing to buy them.

“And, don’t just meet someone in the car park, or out the back of the pub,” he warned.

“Also, if the price is too cheap, or the serial number has been scratched off, then alarm bells should ring. Remember, if police catch up with you, you could be charged with handling stolen goods, as well as losing the items which, hopefully, will then be returned to their rightful owners.”

He said property owners should also check their insurance policies to ensure items and equipment are covered for theft.

Viva L’Italia: Lorenzo D’Alia, Cr Antonella Celi, Rye Italian Citizens’ Club’s Antonina Fazio, and Cr David Gibb, raised a flag to celebrate the 69thFesta della Repubblica.

Flag raised for Italy’s national day A CEREMONY recognising the 69th anniversary of the Italian Republic drew about 60 residents to the shire’s Rosebud office on Tuesday.

“Italians have made an important and long-lasting contribution to Australia as a nation for many, many decades,” Cr David Gibb said.

“Today, Italian Australians are prominent in politics, sport, journalism, law and the arts, and have considerable influence on the growth of Australia’s construction, food, wine, fishing and tourism industries.”

The Rosebud Italian Club’s Lorenzo

D’Alia said Italians were grateful “knowing that we have contributed to the development of this country, and consider ourselves fortunate to live our tranquil lives in our second home Australia – but never forgetting our motherland - Italy”.

Cr Antonella Celi, who has Italian heritage, spoke in Italian. “Today, we come together to celebrate 69 years of the Italian republic and, as Italians who have built a prosperous life in this great nation of Australia, we proudly remember our Italian heritage as we raise the Italian flag in honour

of this day.”

Festa della Repubblica – the Italian National Day and Republic Day - is celebrated on 2 June each year.

Shire communications manager Todd Trimble said the shire had been asked by the Rosebud Italian Club to stage the flag.

He said a similar ceremony had been held at the request of a Greek group in years gone by.

“If an English ex-pats’ group, or any other group, requests a similar service, I am sure we would assist them,” Mr Trimble said.

Mobile library off for ‘supersizing’ THE shire’s distinctive mobile library has gone to the renovators for a $285,000 makeover that will include expanding its middle section.

It will away for about eight weeks and has been replaced by a more modest vehicle that will trundle around the shire’s 16 mobile library stops to keep far-flung readers happy.

The book bus was driven to a truck body specialist in Melbourne last week to receive a new expandable middle that will take it from about 2.5 metres wide to six metres, enough room for a small lounge area, according to the shire’s library boss Geoff Carson.

“The lounge area will have three computers – a PC and two tablets,” he said.

“The bus will be repainted with a more eyecatching design.”

The renovation was supposed to occur last

Floor Trusses, Roof Trusses, Wall Frames, Installation & Timber Framing Material

year but when the shire “went to market” its budget was short by about $70,000.

The shire already had a state government grant of $125,000 from the 2013-14 Living Libraries program but had to wait for extra cash to take its contribution up to $160,000.

It is the first renovation of the bus since it was bought 15 years ago. The prime mover is changed every five years.

The mobile library holds about 4000 books, CDs, DVDs, magazines and other items.

Mr Carson said the mobile library was operated by two staff members.

The mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said the refurbishment would allow “library users to access our collection with increased access to computers and in greater comfort”.

“The refit will include a new body with an extended capsule to include public

computers and wi-fi access. In addition, there will be new shelving, seating and a streamlined interior,” she said.

“The temporary van will provide an abridged service offering library members the ability to return items, place and collect reservations and access a selection of books and other items for borrowing.”

The revamped vehicle will be unveiled in late July.  Mobile library locations and visiting days: Monday: Somers, Crib Point, Baxter, Tyabb.

Tuesday: Blairgowrie, Portsea, Sorrento.

Wednesday: Flinders, Shoreham, Red Hill.

Thursday: Rye, Tootgarook, Dromana.

LETTERS History lesson WITH the Hastings container port proposal back in the news via the Andrews government’s plans to privatise the Port of Melbourne, thereby possibly negating the need for a port at Hastings (“Port lease plans puts Hastings back 50 years”, The News 2/6/15), I thought it most relevant to reflect on the words of naval surgeon George Bass, the indomitable discoverer of Western Port.

His diary describes the bay thus:  “mud abounds so much that the greater part of the points, (on the land), are not approachable except towards the top of high water, and then at the risk of having your boat left until the next tide, for the mud runs out far and flat, so soft, that there is no walking the boat over it”.  If Western Port had so much mud in it in 1798, perhaps those that still want to build the port (such as Hastings MP Neale Burgess) can explain how over 200 years later, it became a “natural deep water port”.  It’s worth noting that there are several references in books on this subject to the fact Bass did get up as far as Hastings, so his comments are very appropriate.

A modern statistic is also most relevant. Currently, Port Phillip hosts some 3000 ships a year and the same figure has been projected for “Wastings” (build Hastings and Western Port will be “Wasted), yet at low tide Western Port has 25 per cent of the surface area of Port Phillip. Port proponents may also care to explain how they ever expected to get all these ves-

PAGE 14

sels in without dredging our beautiful bay to death.

We poor souls on this side of the bay, who rely heavily on the combined several thousand existing jobs and $1.1 billion a year economic input from tourism and recreational fishing, never seem to get much of a go in the minds of those who want to build “Wastings”.

Kevin Chambers, The Gurdies

Port victory HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess (“Port lease plan puts Hastings back 50 years”, The News 2/6/15) has described the state government’s decision to halt plans for a container port near Hastings as a “disaster for Western Port”. On the contrary, the mega-port plans were the biggest disaster facing our bay since Premier Bolte’s multi-industrialisation plans in the 1970s. For those of us who campaigned against the mega-port, this decision by the new Labor government is a victory for common sense and for those who have a vision for a sustainable future for Western Port.

The container port plans (if realised) would have destroyed the ecological and recreational values of the bay which we all love and put an end to an estimated 5000 jobs (Bass Coast Shire estimate) which are dependent on tourism, boating and fishing. In return, it would have generated a few dozen port jobs, at best – modern ports are mostly automated.

Granted, the construction would have generated several hundred jobs, mostly for specialised contractors from outside of Western Port. In

Western Port News 9 June 2015

addition, the mega-port would have clogged up our bay with 3000 gigantic ships a year, disrupting French Island ferry services and putting an end to the Hastings Yacht Club, fishing and boating in the western arm of the bay.

In addition. the mega-port would have resulted in 4000 trucks a day on the Western Port Highway – already bumper-to-bumper in rush hour – as well as demolishing hundreds of homes in South Yarra and Armadale to make way for a dedicated freight rail line to the west side of Melbourne.

This was never mentioned by politicians pushing for the port because they knew it was just never going to happen.

As Dr Hermione Parsons from Victoria University said, “boys have dreams of … my port is bigger than your port.” This was a politician’s dream, which made no economic sense - as the Victoria University study has clearly shown - that was going to destroy the most precious gift we have, a wonderfully diverse and vibrant wetland of international importance on the doorstep of a major city. The world-recognised value of our natural treasure, Western Port, will only increase as rapid urbanisation continues to gobble up our green spaces and marine pollution continues to destroy the waters of Port Phillip (see “The bay is dying” by Tim Flannery on the WPPC Website).

Chris Chandler, French Island Port Stoppers (FIPS)

Super interest TO make it patently clear: the interest payments on the $10.45 million debt

for [Mornington Peninsula Shire’s] super contribution over 10 years would be an additional $2,477,238.07 interest cost relative to the original motion of paying the loan off over three years (“Light falls on tenders in a dark, not stormy, night”, Council Watch, The News 19/5/15).

This additional interest would have, for 10 years, burdened Mornington Peninsula Shire $247,723.80 a year in additional fixed costs.

I cannot see how this would have, even slightly, complied with provisions of the Local Government Act relative to financial responsibility.

From the public record, those who voted (by division) for the 10-year pay off were: “Cr. Dixon, Cr. Shaw, Cr. Garnock, Cr. Gibb and Cr. Celi”.

John Cain, McCrae

Charities beware THE inquiry on the tax free status of many green and environmental groups is a further step towards the silencing of very real concerns in the community about the unchecked wholesale attacks on our biosphere by the vested interests of big money.

Of course we wouldn't expect anything else from “Climate change is crap Tony” and his government.

I wonder if the charities who dare to speak out about our treatment of refugees are next in line.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Future planning A 2013 study shows that Rosebud and Keilor East have the highest number of persons aged 85 and above in the

greater Melbourne region. When the findings of this study were extrapolated out to 2031, Rosebud remained in the top group, with Dromana and the other southern peninsula locations showing significant increases in the numbers of our most senior of citizens.

It then perhaps begs the following question of our councillors: Do we really need to have a warm water splash-about pool constructed within the privately-owned and operated southern peninsula aquatic centre premises, or should the shire be examining the need for a professionally operated hydrotherapy centre?

If council considered favourably the latter option, then could we not envisage a scenario whereby medical practitioners would provide referrals for their patients to attend the hydrotherapy centre and, as importantly, with such services potentially being capable of rebates under medical health schemes?

A warm water pool that is colocated within an hydrotherapy centre would add to the suit of potential health benefits. However, having regard to the council’s recent request for a report on the subject, it should not be the driver for such an investment.

Let’s trust that our councillors can put aside populist politics for just a moment and devote their energies to examining and understanding what social infrastructure the shire’s population actually needs, and not wasting time and money looking at what they think would be a nice to have outcome.

Stuart Allen, Dromana

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Draft reinforcements needed Compiled by Melissa Walsh

MR S S. Price, dentist of Melbourne,

will visit Frankston for the convenience of patients on Sunday, June 13th, and may be seen at Garrood’s Prince of Wales Hotel. *** A mistake was made in last issue in reference to the raffle conducted by Mrs Rimmer. The amount received should be 8s 1d not 18s 1d as stated. *** SUBSCRIBERS for the raffle for the Eiderdown Quilt given by business people of Frankston are notified that the raffle will be drawn in the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute on Saturday evening, 12th June, at 8 o’clock. *** THE first of a series of special entertainments by the Somerville Musical and Comedy Company will take place in the Somerville Hall on Saturday, June 11th, at 8 p.m, A new feature in the programme will be the inclusion of a couple of sparkling comedies. Admission will be one shilling, club members sixpence. A bumper house will no doubt, as usual, greet the company. *** AT the meeting of the Cranbourne Shire Council held on Saturday two petitions were received from residents of Langwarrin asking that the name of Langwarrin township be changed to Carmona, and also a letter from Cr Lloyd (who was unable to be present) asking that the question be deferred for a month.

Messrs Clark and Berry spoke in favor of the change of names, and after a good deal of discussion the matter was deferred for further consideration. *** THE winning number in the Art Union promoted by Mrs Lewis and Miss Trenowth for the beautiful piece of English point lace in aid of the Belgian Fund was 26, and was held by Miss McGibbon, of Melbourne. The sum realised was £3 13s.

This amount in addition to £17 6s 6d already donated by Mrs Lewis and Miss Trenowth, makes up the handsome sum of £20 19s 6d’as the proceeds of the Continental Fete and art unions recently held at ‘Balmoral’ by these ladies in aid of the Fund. *** A very pleasant evening was spent at the local Mechanics’ hall on Saturday night last, when, at the invitation of members of the Mitre Camp a large number of young folk turned up to enjoy themselves.

The hall was nicely decorated and each one seemed bent on making the other happy. The musical items were excellent and very much appreciated.

For the majority dancing was the chief of amusement. Everything was done heartily, and the result was a most enjoyable evening. *** A miniature rifle club will shortly be formed at Mornington Junction, under the auspices and patronage of the local progress association, and a range erected on or near the Town Hall site. All

residents of the district over the age of 16 years are eligible as members, and will receive instruction gratis, also a hearty welcome.

The amount of annual subscription will not exceed 2s 6d and may be fixed as low as 1s.

It is the duty of every youth and man not gone to the front, to make himself proficient in the use of the rifle. Intending members should give in their names at once. *** ST. Paul’s Club, Frankston, is holding a social on Tuesday evening next at 8 p.m. A farce, ‘Box, and Cox,’ will be staged, and a dramatic item ‘The Open Gate’.

The farce is a most amusing one, about the best this club has yet staged.

Other items will be given by Mr Cowan, who will give instrumental items accompanied by his sister. Mr Walter Cain, Miss Pearl McLean and others will help in the programme.

During the evening farewell will be said to Miss Myra Picking, who has been an active member of the club from the start, and a presentation will be made to her. Those who wish to subscribe should leave their money with Miss Reynolds or the Vicar. *** MR P. Dial is at present laid aside by an attack of his old complaint, asthma.

His friends all wish him a speedy recovery. *** MEMBERS are reminded that Wednesday evening next is the

meeting of the Frankston Progress Association. A public meeting will be held on Thursday evening next in the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, to devise some means of augmenting the local Red Cross Fund. A full attendance is requested. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Club wishes to acknowledge with thanks the following donations to wards the club’s funds: Langwarrin Football Club £1 1s, Mr Harley 10s 6d, and Mr Hartland 5s. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a special sale of 2000 sheep at the Tanti yards, on Wednesday next.

The sheep are in good condition, and the auctioneers can recommend them in every confidence. They are for absolute sale. *** THE 35th list of names of Australians killed and wounded has been issued.

Amongst the number wounded are: Privates S. G. Foster and C. C Stone, of Mornington, W. Fletham, Somerville, and D. Nicholson, Pearcedale.

We have been requested to bring under the notice of those who have any journals or other reading matter that they are willing to donate, that there is a large number of our soldiers invalided at Langwarrin, who find the time hangs very heavily on their hands, and would be very thankful to wile away the period of their convalescence by reading.

Any parcel may be sent through Dr

Maxwell or direct to Major Lloyd at the Camp, Langwarrin. *** RECRUITING FOR AUSTRALIAN IMPERIAL FORCE. Recruiting has shown a marked falling off lately. Although no new units may at present be under organization, it is vitally important that there should be no shortage of recruits for reinforcements. There may be some idea abroad that enlistment for reinforcements is not so necessary nor nearly so important as enlistment for a definite unit.

This is quite incorrect. It is far more necessary that reinforcements be provided at present than new units.

Reinforcements are urgently required to maintain units at the front at their normal strength. Men be forthcoming without delay to replace those fallen and to support and strengthen the gallant Australians fighting in Gallipoli.

Men enlisted for reinforcements must have at least three months training before embarkation.

Our draft of reinforcements is at present nearly 2,000 short of requirements, To maintain units now at the front Australia is pledged to provide each month 5,300 soldiers, the requirements in each State monthly being as follows: Queensland 700, New South Wales 1700, Victoria 1700, South Australia 500, Western Australia 500, Tasmania 200.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Islands in the Soda Stream

By Stuart McCullough RESISTANCE is futile after all. In a surprisingly short space of time, we have officially transformed from inner city hipsters to regular everyday suburb-dwellers. Not that it was our idea. In fact, our journey began after we received a letter through the mail informing us that we were no longer cool enough to occupy the enclaves of the inner city and would need to leave.

To say that I was a little hurt is something of a catastrophic understatement.

According to the letter, we needed to make way for a couple in their twenties who’ve never held a real job but own an Internet start up and work in amateur theatre. Naturally, I resisted, and pleaded our case by pointing out that after many unsuccessful attempts I had finally succeeded in growing a beard, but it was to no avail. Apparently, it’s not enough just to be able to grow facial hair. You need to be able to groom it to an appropriate standard also. As is the hipster way, this verdict was communicated to me in a tone that was one part sarcasm, two parts irony with the balance made up of general obnoxiousness.

So after more than a decade, we left the inner city environment of Elwood behind and headed ten minutes down the road to Ormond. In physical terms, it’s quite a short journey. But, in truth, we were doing so much more than just changing postcodes. We were changing our way of life. In fact, I’d go so far that this was a monumental act of concession. One that admitted we were no longer young, hip urban professionals who spent evenings at po-

etry slams whilst watching films with subtitles and making bespoke pottery.

(Preferably all at once.) No sir.

Fact is, we have become the kind of people who, after a hard day’s work, collapse on the couch and binge watch Game of Thrones whilst sorting out some online grocery shopping. To some, this will sound irretrievably lame. But to others, what I have just described sounds like nothing short of heaven on a stick. Times change. People too.

At first, I was resentful. But given a

few weeks to reflect, I see things differently. After all, who was I trying to kid? I am not and can never be a hipster. That’s mostly because I can still recall a time before hipsters roamed the earth. Back then, the evolved modern man was referred to as a ‘sensitive new age guy’ or, if you prefer, ‘SNAG’. This was all well and dandy until a new generation of would-be sensitive new age guys completely turned the tables on us by rejecting the term ‘SNAG’ on the grounds that it offended their vegetarian principles.

It was, frankly, a masterstroke. One that instantly made their predecessors look like meat eating, knuckle dragging Neanderthals. Part of me longs to go back to a time when hipsters wouldn’t have been called hipsters at all and, instead, were still labelled something more along the lines of ‘beardo – weirdoes’ or, more simply, ‘the unemployed’. But it’s time to concede defeat and make a small but, I feel, symbolic retreat. So long, inner city. Hello suburbia.

It’s taken me some time to get used to it but there are some obvious positives. For starters, we are now a good distance from a major road. This means we no longer have to endure drunken nitwits staggering past our front door at three in the morning and deciding to push the intercom buzzer for a bit of a laugh. Those fools are unlikely to ever wobble their way out this far. Things at our new place are quieter, too. Granted, there’s a neighbour over the back who likes nothing more than to crank up some pretty lamentable music on a Friday evening, but it’s all over by nine o’clock. We’re unlikely to complain.

We now have a lawn. This means that, at some point, I will need to mow it. When I was kid, I used to mow the lawn all the time. But at Tyabb, the lawn was about an acre in size and all mowing was done on a ride-on. I’m not sure I’ll be able to justify that kind of machinery for an area the size of a car parking space. But, truth be told, I’m looking forward to mowing the lawn.

If nothing else, I can finally make my own crop circles. We also have a shed.

Ultimately, this is where Kate will set up her workbench. I, however, made the somewhat amateur mistake of telling people not only that we had a shed but that it was ‘for Kate’. This, I would later learn, resulted in a misunderstanding where various relatives believed that my wife would be living in the shed, leaving the house to me.

No wonder they were looking at me funny.

I’ll admit that it kind of snuck up on me. Without really trying, in a single week, I went to Bunnings, IKEA and Southland. Bunnings may be a great place to get rubber stoppers for chair legs or a sausage, but it’s a long way from a poetry slam. So be it. Going to see an obscure indie-rock band play far too loud and way too late is fine for some people, but IKEA has meatballs.

Indie rock can’t compete with meatballs. There was a time when spending the evening at Southland is something I would only do at gunpoint, but now it seems like a night out. Besides, we needed appliances.

We are now the proud owners of a Soda Stream. We use to make mineral water. In fact, I’d almost go so far as to say that the results are bespoke. As we made our way to the car park and prepared to head back to our quiet suburban street, I can’t say I missed amateur theatre or subtitles. In fact, I can honestly say that I felt something close to content. Naturally, I have marked this change in situation in the only way possible under the circumstances – by shaving off my beard. So long inner city. It was nice knowing you. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Demons come from behind to win NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RYE came from 17 points down at three quarter time to beat Sorrento by the smallest of margins in Nepean League football on Saturday.

In front of a massive crowd that pushed beyond 3000 people, Toby Woodford copped a head high tackle with less than a minute on the clock and went back and kicked the goal from 20 metres out to seal the win for Rye 12.12 (84) to Sorrento 11.17 (83).

Rye then pushed numbers behind the football and made it an arm wrestle in the tense final moments of the game.

It was the second time in as many weeks that Sorrento has been overrun in the final term. Crib Point inflicted the same pain on the Sharks last week.

A jubilant Rye coach Josh Moore, a former Sorrento premiership player, revealed his team went into the match with some set plans they were able to execute.

“We thought we were close enough at three quarter time and you could sense a bit of a momentum shift at that stage,” he said.

“We were well aware of what Crib had done the week before and we were still full of running.

“It was a tight, high intensity game of footy. I think both sides played a really good brand of footy and gave the supporters value for money.

“There was nothing in the match all day. Steve Ryan (the runner) came out to me in red time and told me that there was less than a minute left. At that stage we were five points down. Then Woodford put us in front.”

Former Hawthorn ruckman Simon Taylor was the difference between the sides in the end.

“Squizzy was superb for us over four quarters but he really stood up and showed enormous leadership in that last quarter. He willed us over the line,” Moore said.

“Matt Dunn was also great on Leigh Poholke.

‘Polk’ kicked three goals in the first quarter and you wonder whether you should make a move, however, I had faith and he kept him goalless for the remainder of the match.”

Despite the win and being equal top on the ladder, Rye isn’t getting ahead of themselves.

“We set ourselves some short term goals and we are ticking all of those boxes off at this stage. We’ll set some more short term goals and start on them.

It’s not a sprint,” Moore said.

League ‘misled’ Somerville, results in doubt

By Toe Punt THE MPNFL-appointed Independent Tribunal handed down its Somerville Players Points System verdict last Thursday night as promised, but the league failed to pass that information onto clubs.

The panel members - Geoff Dempster (Northern Football League Board Member, former member of the AFL Community Football Board), Bob Beazley (MPNFL PPS Implementation Working Party member) and Andrew Swales (Independent Tribunal Chairman) met as communicated with Nepean League clubs on Thursday night.

At this meeting, the tribunal determined that Somerville coach David Hirst was a two point player,

PAGE 46

Western Port News 9 June 2015

not a one point player.

It is understood that the league had advised Somerville Football Club in writing on two separate occasions in December 2014 and February this year - confirming Hirst was a one point player.

It is believed that communication came from former administrator Sue Jones and MPNFL general manager Jeff Jones.

As a result of the communication, Somerville has been playing Hirst as a one point player.

When Nepean League clubs called into league headquarters and made telephone calls to league offices on Friday, they were told that the tribunal had met but had not made its ruling.

However, a source close to the

MPNFL informed The News on Friday that the decision was made and Hirst was a two point player.

The source also said that the Independent Tribunal was asked not to communicate with the media on the matter.

With Hirst determined as a twopoint player, it means Somerville played with 40 points in its matches against Sorrento and Hastings. The PPS cap is 39 points.

Sorrento and Hastings now have the option to appeal the result of those game, which both lost.

Somerville is also expected to exercise its options of legal action, given they were given written confirmation that Hirst was a one point player.

This communication had significant impacts on their recruiting strategy.

Already, Somerville is forced to play key recruits in the reserves, given they go over the PPS. The latest ruling means that an additional recruit is forced to play reserves.

A Somerville source said that the league’s inability to know their own rules was going to have a significant impact on their club.

“We have to sit down with players now and talk through what options we and they have,” the source said.

The MPNFL told clubs they would inform them of the tribunal’s decision this Friday, eight days after they made their decision.

Gulls fight from ‘nowhere’ to win a thriller PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CHELSEA came back from nowhere to record a thrilling two-point victory against Langwarrin on Saturday in Peninsula League Football.

Looking down the barrel midway through the last quarter and trailing by three goals, Chelsea kicked five unanswered goals to wrestle back the lead and open-up a 10-point lead at the 27-minute mark of the quarter.

Hudson Thomas, who finished the game with four goals for the Gulls and was arguably one of the best players on the ground, put his side in front before Jayden Attard extended the lead with five minutes left in the game.

Langwarrin then dominated the last five minutes of the game, only to kick 1.2 and go down 16.17 (113) to 18.7 (115).

Langwarrin went into the game without Rikki Johnston for personal reasons while the coach, Gavin Artico, was in Fiji on a family holiday. It was a massive loss for the Kangas, who less than a month ago beat Frankston YCW. Langwarrin went from an opportunity to be sitting comfortably in third place to dropping out of the five. They gave away a handful of 50m penalties in the painful loss.

Andrew Johnson played his first game for the season in the firsts for Langwarrin and finished with five goals while Blake Harkness was his team’s best player for the second week in a row.

Chelsea is now a game and a half outside of the top five and coach Brent Guerra believes he’s team is a chance to grab a finals spot.

“We were very competitive against Mornington and Mt Eliza but let ourselves down in one quarter of footy,” Guerra said.

“Our boys are still learning the art of winning and Saturday’s fighting victory will hold them in good stead for the rest of the year.

“The art now is not to get ahead of ourselves.

We play Karingal this week and we know they

aren’t travelling as well as they’d like. We have Pines after that.

“It would be fantastic for the group to win a few in a row. That’s our aim. Work hard on the track, stay focussed, keep doing the things we know we do well and the results will look after themselves,” Guerra said.

Mt Eliza full forward Justin Van Unen booted 12 goals in his side’s 25.16 (166) to 5.3 (33) victory against Karingal.

The Redlegs booted 10 goals in a blistering second quarter with Matt Lillie (three goals) playing extremely well in attack and through the ruck and Dave Barton continuing his outstanding season.

Grant Goodall was superb in the ruck for the Bulls and Luke Van Raay worked tirelessly.

Mornington stuck its nose in front of Frankston YCW early in its home ground clash and was able to maintain that buffer for the rest of the match.

In a low scoring game, the Doggies held on to win 10.5 (65) to 5.13 (43).

Mornington ruckman Michael Gay was the best player on the ground, dominating the ruck, while Dale Nolan finished with four goals and Ben Wells saw a heap of the footy.

Tony Lester and Kyle Hutchison were the best of the Stonecats.

No quarter given: Mornington got up over Frankston YCW in a low-scoring affair at the weekend.

MPNFL ‘blatantly incompetent’: club president MPNFL clubs should be moving as quickly as possible to take control of their own destiny, according to the man who led the charge for Casey Cardinia Football League to defect from the MPNFL two years ago.

Narre Warren Football Club president and South East Football Netball League board member, Kahl Heinze, said if clubs wanted a future and to remain relevant in local football in their community, they needed to take action and break ties with the MPNFL immediately.

Heinze said the management of the league from a board and administration perspective was “blatantly incompetent”.

Hastings Tyre Service has joined a new independent tyre service group -

Same store, new look

254 Marine Pde MON-FRI: 8am-5pm SAT: 8am-12noon

“These guys that run the league, seriously, are incompetent,” Heinze said.

“It’s astounding (to hear what’s going on the with the Player Points System debacle) but to be honest, it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

“They (the board and administration) are simply there for self-preservation. They are there so they can swan around in their league shirts and get paid to do so.

“What I’m continuing to hear about the management of the MPNFL solidifies that what we have done is the best thing we could have done for the future of our game.

“It was clear to us, as Casey Cardinia clubs, that as a service provider, the league just wasn’t giving us value for money. In fact, they were costing us enormous amounts of money – money clubs can’t afford to be losing.

“The MPNFL’s sole responsibility is to service the clubs and provide us with a strategic direction – we never did receive either of them, ever.

“Their responsibility is not to ignore clubs and simply hand out $50 fines for a player wearing black shorts instead of white shorts,” Heinze said.

South East Football Netball League is on track to show an operating surplus of between $50,000 to $100,000 in its first year.

“That’s a $150,000 to $200,000 turnaround for us.

“That’s more money, on the back of the clubs receiving better service and resources than they have ever experienced before. Every senior game is video recorded and provided immediately to the clubs after the game on USB. We have negotiated far better deals across a number of areas that have added enormous value,” Heinze said.

“With the MPNFL we had no focus, no direction, no strategic plan for the future, no growth plan, no financial projections, no

sponsorship plan – there was nothing.

“When we asked the questions regarding these fundamentals and even went down the path of audits, we were shut down.

“As a group of Casey Cardinia League presidents, we’d had enough.

“AFL South East provided us with an opportunity that we had never had in the past – some independent advice and a resource that we were able to work with.

“We’d never really had that in the past and after meeting with AFL South East General Manager Jeremy Bourke, who provided us with our options, it became a very obvious decision for us.

“Twelve months later and we have a wonderful board made up of experts in their field – legal, finance, community leaders, and football people.

“Together we are working on strategic plans.

We are working with external consultants provided by AFL South East to ensure we are best practice in our planning and decision making.

“Our sole motivation is benefit to the clubs.

“The MPNFL are simply worried about their own backyard – surviving and keeping their jobs.

“Every decision we make is focused on the clubs – financial, growth, sustainability,” Heinze said.

There is little question that MPNFL clubs have concerns about how their league will be managed if they choose to make a move.

Of the 80 senior leagues in Victoria, 75 of them are being regionally run with the support of the AFL. The MPNFL is one of the five that is independent.

Heinze said his league was “living, breathing proof of the benefits that come with being regionally managed”.

“The MPNFL tried to scare and worry us and try and highlight that we couldn’t do without them. They even kept information from us about

the AFL that would have been of enormous benefit for us to know about and understand.

“The AFL South East relationship has been nothing less than harmonious. They add to our value. It reduces our costs, our risks and provides best practice. We don’t have cash tied up into their losses.

“Like any president or secretary, I spend around 40 hours working for my club each week.

I can tell you straight up, I am giving less time now, not more.

“I was really busy with helping to set up the new league from November to January but I have a lot more time now.

“I get asked all the time ‘how do you cope?’ – I say ‘better than I ever did before’.

“It’s amazing to have a full and part-time administrator that actually runs the league.

“There has been zero impact on the clubs – absolutely zero.

“Finally, we are in charge of our own destiny.

The hard work we are doing at club level is not being wasted or falling on deaf ears.

“For the MPNFL, the clubs are a thorn in their side. They don’t want to know about them or their issues. They simply want their money to keep them all in jobs.

“The management of the league should be transparent – not ruling with an iron fist.

“We are providing direction, pathways, viability and sustainability – that’s all a club wants from their league.

“My advice to the MPNFL Clubs is to refuse to put up with the now. Get together independently, talk to AFL South East and move immediately to a regional structure.

“Like us, they’ll never look back,” Heinze said.
