History in making as museum gets facelift THE Laura and Charles Ferguson Historical Museum in Mentone reopened last month after a refurbishment costing about $250,000. Veronica Hahn, the president of the Mordialloc and District Historical Society, which is based at the museum, praised Kingston Council for its help in allocating funds to rejuvenate the museum space. Ms Hahn said the work of volunteers at the museum was priceless. “The volunteers are the lifeblood of the museum,” Ms Hahn said. “Some are history buffs and all are wonderful like-minded people who love what they do.” The redevelopment has made the museum more accessible to those with a disability, while rising damp has been eradicated with a new bamboo floor replacing the previous flooring. The museum building was originally the Mentone Bakery, which was established at the site in the 1890s. The current building was constructed in 1922 by bakers John Murphy and William Oliver. The Mordialloc and District Historical Society curates a collection of photographs and memorabilia at the museum, which was renamed the Laura and Charles Ferguson Historical Museum in 1999 to honour two local history enthusiasts. The museum is open to the public each Sunday from 2-4pm. Appointments for research purposes can be made by contacting Veronica Hahn on 9583 5975.

Council zoned out By Neil Walker NEW state government planning rules concerning the construction of commercial premises mean council no longer has any say on where businesses can set up shop in certain areas within the city of Kingston. A new Commercial 2 zone, intended to be a flexible “employment-only”

zone, has replaced the previous Business 3 and Business 4 zones, removing the need for a permit to build a cinema, cinema-based entertainment facility, food and drink premises, restricted retail premises, or offices and warehouses. Smaller-scale supermarkets, up to 1800 square metres, which is the ap-

proximate equivalent of three housing blocks, will also be able to open without the need for a planning permit. Kingston Council is concerned the change, which came into effect on 15 July, could hurt traders at existing shopping centres and hubs. More than 400 homes have also been identified by council as being at

risk of noise disturbance if businesses are built nearby. Council officers have identified ten locations within the municipality - including areas along the Nepean Highway and land at Melrose St and Carrier Ave in Parkdale, and on the southern boundary of Chelsea Heights – as sites where new supermarkets, shops and stores can now be

built without council input. Efforts to convince the state government to amend the Commercial 2 zone at ten sites to Industrial 1 zone in order to “largely maintain the status quo” have received no official response from the Department of Planning and Community Development. Continued Page 3

KINGSTON Arts is reminding young filmakers to enter the International Youth Silent Film Festival competition. The festival is coming all the way from Portland in the USA to Victoria for the first time in its history. Filmakers are invited to select original scores from six genres, including slapstick, action, horror, mystery, romance, and sci-fi, to be played on Kingston’s heritage Wurlitzer organ. Films will be judged on their use of the score in the film’s storyline. Entry is free and film submissions are due by 9 September. The top 30 submissions will be shown to the public on the big screen, with live theatre organ accompaniment at Kingston City Hall on 19 October 2013. Film entries will be judged by an expert panel from the Australian film industry. Details: www.makesilentfilm.com

Council loses commercial zone control Continued from Page 1 The state government announced proposed zoning reforms to streamline residential and commercial planning processes in July last year. In September, Kingston’s manager of city strategy Jonathan Guttmann flagged “unintended negative economic consequences” of the proposed commercial zones, because “out of centre” land could be used for shops.

Council believes the “one size fits all” approach of Commercial 2 zoning regulations threatens the integrity of long-established planning policies. However, Mr Guttmann advised The News last month that council regarded proposed new residential zones to be “an improvement” since they allow “more local tailoring”. The state government has allowed for a community consultation period

before the residential zoning changes come into force in July 2014, but this courtesy has not been extended to changes made to commercial planning regulations. Senior council officers wrote to Victorian Minister for Planning Matthew Guy in June this year requesting an official response by 10 July to council’s request for a planning scheme amendment. No reply was received.

Council has now decided to highlight the importance of the requested planning scheme amendment to the wider Kingston community and business owners. A series of information seminars about the Commercial 2 zone changes will be held in August in Cheltenham, Aspendale and Moorabin. Visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au or call 1300 653 356 for full details.

Kingston road deaths down with state toll By Neil Walker VICTORIA’S road toll has fallen 19 per cent in the first half of 2013 compared to the corresponding six-month period in 2012, with a reduction in fatalities in Kingston mirroring the downward statewide trend. Transport Accident Commission statistics reveal there were 113 road fatalities in Victoria from 1 January to 30 June 2013, down from 139 in the first six months in 2012. The number of deaths on Kingston roads for the first half of 2013 dropped 50 per cent compared to the first six months of 2012.

There were three road fatalities in Kingston in the past six months, down from six deaths at the same stage last year. Two of the three deceased were aged 70 or over. Kingston traffic management unit sergeant Kate Marten said older drivers needed to take more personal responsibility and ensure they were fit to drive. “Reflexes and reaction times undoubtedly fall as drivers age,” Sgt Marten said. Familiar routines can also lure elderly drivers into a false sense of security. “A lot of the time, it’s on the short trips that people are familiar with that something happens,” Sgt Marten said.

“We’d ask family members to check to make sure their older relatives are OK to drive”. The TAC cited a new road safety strategy launched with VicRoads, Victoria Police and the Department of Justice just three months ago as a factor in the rolling 12-month road toll, from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013, being “lower now than it has ever been” at 256 against 269 the previous year. The strategy, still in its development stage, focuses on making parents and guardians more aware that their driving habits can provide a positive role model for young drivers.

Keeping shops in our local shopping precincts Businesses and residents in Kingston are invited to a series of information sessions to highlight changes in planning that could effect you. The new rules developed by the State Government have many positive benefits. Council has identified one issue in relation to the new Commercial 2 Zone that has the potential to effect small businesses and the quiet enjoyment of some residential areas across the municipality, and Council has raised this with the State Government.

The Commercial 2 Zone introduces new rules on some activities that were previously not allowed. The new Commercial 2 Zone allows: • Supermarkets up to 1,800m2 (a building about the size of 3 house blocks) to open without needing a planning permit •

New shops and stores to open in locations where this was previously not allowed

Council would like to hear what you have to say on this issue so we can take your views to the State Government.

b Have your say and read more at kingston.vic.gov.au/shopsinshoppingprecincts

“The TAC and VicRoads are working together to address these elements of the strategy by creating a parental influence campaign,” TAC acting CEO Joe Calafiore said. Mr Calafiore praised Victorian road users for their efforts in reducing the state’s road toll, but said the drop in fatalities should provide a further incentive for Victorians to stay committed to road safety. “There are still today about 113 families who have lost a loved one on the roads this year and thousands more people who have been injured,” Mr Calafiore said.

KINGSTON Council is offering grants of up to $1000 to help community groups put on Children’s Week events. Kingston-based community groups and non-profit organisations can apply for funding to deliver events and one-off activities celebrating Children’s Week 2013, which runs from Saturday 19 October to Sunday 27 October. Children’s Week promotes the right of children “to enjoy childhood by creating awareness of the rights, needs and accomplishments of children in Australia within the context of the family and the broader community”. The theme of this year’s national event is ‘A Caring World Shares’, aiming to encourage Australians to share in the promotion of health, learning, development and wellbeing of all children. Kingston Council grant applications will be open from Monday 8 July until Friday 2 August 2013. To access online applications and guidelines, visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au/childrensweekgrants. For more information, call the council’s team leader for Family and Children’s Services Development on 9581 4585 or email donna.feore@kingston. vic.gov.au

Young Mordi lifesaving stars named state’s best

Chelsea – Mordialloc

Mordialloc Life Saving Club has celebrated another highly success year, claiming both the junior male and junior female athlete of the year gongs at the 10th annual Life Saving Victoria Awards of Excellence. Tyler Annan-Coe was named Junior Male Athlete of the Year for the second year running at this year’s Life Saving Victoria awards, while Emily Carty, pictured with LSV director of aquatic sport Allan Holmes (left) and Engine managing director Toby Hanaen, won the Junior Female Athlete of the Year award. The annual awards, held earlier this month, are hailed as lifesaving’s equivalent of the Brownlows, honouring the top competitive efforts and many achievements and contributions of LSV’s 28,000 volunteer members in lifesaving and water safety. Allan Holmes said young Mordialloc stars Tyler Annan-Coe and Emily Carty had achieved outstanding results over the 2012/2013 Victorian Lifesaving season in both the surf and pool.

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy. On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system. Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value. All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services. GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year. F•S•A/DPC0018

CCTV funding deal struck

Wildlife warriors: Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees with some of the dedicated young environmentalists involved with the Locals Creating Wildlife Passages project.

Schools celebrate UN award THREE Kingston primary schools have been praised for their part in an innovative wildlife protection program that won a United Nations environmental award. Kingston Heath, Chelsea Heights and Mentone Park primary school pupils have been busy building native gardens as part of the ‘Locals Creating Wildlife Passages’ project, which took out top honour in the United Nations Australia Environment Award’s environmental school category and also reached the finals in the biodiversity section. The successful community wildlife program, which was initiated and led by Bentleigh West Primary School, involved the creation of 25 native gardens in schools, kindergartens and retirement villages across the Kingston, Glen Eira and Bayside municipalities. These gardens can now be used by local wildlife as ‘bus stops’ when mov-

ing between existing small patches of remnant vegetation and native bushland reserves. Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees hosted a function for students, teachers and principals from the participating local schools to celebrate their success. “Council is very proud to have actively supported this project, with staff helping with funding applications and providing support to Kingston Heath, Mentone Park and Chelsea Heights Primary Schools through biodiversity audits and local wildlife knowledge,” Cr Brownlees said. Participants embarked on a 12-month learning journey that involved attending workshops and designing and growing native gardens. They researched which wildlife was likely to use their gardens and added features such as rocks for butterflies, logs

Since 1975

for lizards and wet patches for frogs. Bentleigh West Primary Assistant Principal Leonie Brown said a pupil at the school, Fotini, came up with the idea of creating an interconnected garden for local wildlife after researching the concept, leading to the formation of the Locals Creating Wildlife Passages project. “Once we created the wildlife garden at our school, the students asked how other local schools could create wildlife gardens,” Ms Brown said. Students and staff then worked to build connections with local community groups and organisations across Glen Eira, Bayside and Kingston. For more information about the Locals Creating Wildlife Passages project, call Kingston Council’s environmental education officer Karen Jones on 9581 4364 or email karen.jones@kingston.vic.gov. au.

By Neil Walker A FUNDING standoff between Kingston Council and the state government over closed circuit television cameras in Aspendale and Moorabbin has ended with council accepting $125,000 in state funding to install the surveillance cameras. Council had originally been banking on receiving $350,000 in state ‘public safety infrastructure’ funding to pay for the CCTV cameras in full, but was notified in February that only $125,000 would be provided for the project since ongoing maintenance and operating costs would not be included. The then minister for crime prevention, Andrew McIntosh, wrote to council CEO John Nevins on 10 April advising that council had until 30 April to agree to the reduced amount or “I will consider that council has not elected to accept the government’s offer”. Councillors decided at a hastily convened council meeting on 29 April to ask the state government for a threemonth deadline extension to enable

more community consultation on the issue. The Department of Justice subsequently asked residents to respond to an online poll about local government’s role in CCTV operations. Advertisements were placed in local newspapers, including The News, directing residents to the survey. More than 65 per cent of respondents opted to “agree” or “strongly agree” that councils should contribute to maintenance costs if they were provided with CCTV infrastructure. The respondents all claimed they lived or worked in the Kingston local government area. Ratepayers will now have to foot the bill for running costs of the cameras at the foreshore carpark at the end of Gnotuk Ave in Aspendale and outside a housing block near Moorabbin railway station. Council officers estimated the cost at $199,594 over five years. Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees thanked the state government for its financial contribution, despite the funding shortfall. “These cameras will deter anti-social behaviour,” he said.

Pet breeding code comments invited SUBMISSIONS on a code of practice for cat and dog breeders close next month. The revised code for the operation of breeding and rearing businesses is being developed by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries. The review of the code followed a campaign by the RSPCA to close socalled puppy factories. The campaign started in May 2010 and led to the state government increasing the powers of RSPCA inspectors to force breeders to follow

the code of practice, previously only enforceable by local government officials. To view the draft revised code, go to www.depi.vic.gov.au/breedingcode, call 136 186 or email animal. welfare@depi.vic.gov.au Comments on the code must be submitted by 10 August to animal. welfare@depi.vic.gov.au or by writing to the Breeding and Rearing Code Review, Bureau of Animal Welfare, 475 Mickleham Rd, Attwood, Victoria 3049.

Bauer back from Kokoda Carrum MP Donna Bauer walked the Kokoka Track earlier this month to raise money for charities Matt’s Place in Chelsea and Pantry 5000 in Carrum. “Kokoda was a tough physical and mental challenge,” Ms Bauer said. “It is a pilgrimage along a very special trail to all Australians”. “Local children were a delight at the villages we passed through and our carriers were compassionate, caring and attentive, always smiling”. The Kokoda campaign was fought over jungle tracks across the Owen Stanley Range from July November 1942. Jungle warfare was a type of warfare Australia had never before experienced. Ms Bauer’s trek took place from 1-12 July, taking in 135 kilometres from Kokoda to Owers Corner. The walking group climbed 8114 metres, descended 7861 kilometres, and took a total of 251,000 steps. Ms Bauer kept a diary of her thoughts each day on the Kokoda track (right).

1 July, Day 1 Looking forward to starting one of the greatest adventure treks of the world. We arrive at Port Moresby and stay overnight with Adventure Kokoda at Sogari Lodge. Excited and anxious at the challenge ahead. 2 July, Day 2 We rise early and begin our journey - it’s going to be an inspiration to walk in the footsteps of the brave soldiers of Kokoda in July - Nov 1942. Such a spiritual place. Hearing the stories of what our soldiers withstood, battles and sacrifices. It strikes a chord with me, as I have sons the same age as the young soldiers. We meet our carriers after flying in by small chartered plane to Kokoda. My carrier “Norman” is a direct descendant of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels. He is very shy, however became my best friend on the track, preventing many falls! We fly into Kokoda, however with large cloud mass and cover, it’s unsafe to fly direct so we fly to the coast, through the Kamusi River then on to Kokoda. We trek for several hours, visit the museum at Kokoda, and hear about the supreme sacrifices and battles of soldiers, many only 18 years of age. Our first few hours seem to be a tough climb, I’m advised it’s nothing compared to what’s ahead of us in the next part of the trek. I continually remind myself to place one foot in front of the other and to “soldier on”. Kokoda is 425 m above sea level. 3 July, Day 3, 16.9 km, Up at 5am and walking most of the day, visiting Hoi, Deniki and overnight at Isurava. The words “Courage, Mateship, Sacrifice, Endurance” are engraved in granite at the Isurava Memorial to commemorate the 39th and 2/14th Battalions where Australia lost 99 soldiers killed, and 111 wounded. It’s a spiritual place. Tough inclines today, my knees start to hurt and legs throb at nights. River crossings are many, it’s easy to fall and can be confronting, must take time to cross carefully.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 24 July 2013

Overnight at Isurava. 1350m above sea level. 4 July, Day 4 10.6 km Held our own dawn memorial service. Singing both the Australian and PNG national anthems, reciting poetry and amazing grace as well as the carriers singing traditional hymns, with a 2 minute silence for soldiers who gave their lives. Tough inclines, hot full sun. My clothes are drenched in sweat, knees continually shake as we cross large river crossings. Walking through the jungle, reminds me of being in a giant terrarium with ferns, moss, orchids, exotic birds singing. Overnight in Abuari, 1526m above sea level. 5 July, Day 5, 13.1 km Early start, steep walk. Lunch at Eora Creek. Swim for a cool off in a waterfall, 10 m wide, 2m deep river log crossing. Swim is so refreshing, like being in an ice box. Tropical heavy rain all day, path turns to endless thick mud. Boots get sucked in and stuck with the suction in the deep mud. Large battlefield at Eora Creek, sombre atmosphere, remembering the young men 18+ that fought for us. Not half way yet. Large climbs. Body continually aching. Overnight at Templeton’s Crossing, 1755m above sea level. 6 July, Day 6, 21km We pass through the Kokoda Gap, 2193m above sea level. Myola Lookout and Moss Forest - jungle is rich green, almost fairytale like. I’m sure I found the “Faraway tree” from Enid Blyton’s childhood stories. We look at ammunition dumps, sunshine today, never ending hills, up and down, straight sections are rare. Overnight at Bombers Camp. 1955m above sea level. 7 July, Day 7, 15.1km Mild muggy temperature. Humidity high. Steepest downhill climb. Met one of the last remaining “Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels” Havula Luala, who is now in his mid 80s. I walk up to see Havula’s home, he points to where he recalls Australian soldiers being shot. I thank Havula for his care of our young

Australian soldiers. Locals sing to us, we cool down at Efogi Creek 1030m above sea level. Emotional day. 8 July, Day 8, 10.1kn Up at 4.30am walking to Brigade Hill, site of a major Australian battle. Rugged jungle, overnight at Menari 850m above sea level. I’m asleep by 7.30 or 8pm each night. 9 July, Day 9, 18.5km 12 hours of walking today. Up at 3.30 am Cross Brown River fast flowing. Maguli Range rises out of the swamp 1320 m above sea level. It’s tough today, constantly thirsty, I feel dehydrated. Drink 7.5 litres without realising, resulting in over hydrating. End up feeling faint with very low pulse rate, monitored closely by trek Leader Chad, and pumped full of electrolytes and salt as these have been washed out of my system. Fortunately I recover well. Continue to Nauro Village 1030m above sea level. Overnight at Ofi Creek 600m. Seemed today would never end, sapped of all energy. 10 July, Day 10, 14.7km Up at 5. Walk to Va-ule Creek 395m above sea level. Feeling much brighter today, and certainly not drinking so much! Hard climb up Imita Ridge 835m above sea level. Large climbs then descent, lots of grunt needed! Overnight at Goodwater base 480m above sea level. 11 July, Day 11 Up at 4, walking at 5am in the dark once again. Crossing Goldie River, wide and fast flowing crossing. Climb to Owers Corner, 656m above sea level. Carriers form a guard of honour singing “There will be Joy when the work is done” - very appropriate! I’m elated and emotional as I cross the finish and arrive at Owers Corner. Tears of joy and relief. Also I’m remembering the sacrifice of the soldiers, many as young as my sons. The bus is waiting to take us back to Sogeri Lodge. We visit the Kotaki War Cemetary.

the PSOs hit Mordialloc beat Bauer Brief

By Chris Brennan PROTECTIVE services officers have finally arrived at Mordialloc, with patrols beginning last week as part of the state government’s ongoing rollout of armed guards to railway stations. PSOs will be patrolling Mordialloc station every night of the week from 6pm until the last train of the evening departs, usually just before 2am. The latest rollout of the PSO program, announced by Premier Dennis Napthine last week, will also include provision of detention cells at Melbourne train stations, including Mordialloc. “Commuters tell us they now feel safer thanks to PSOs keeping troublemakers at bay,” Dr Napthine said, adding that the program was ahead of schedule in its goal of recruiting 940 officers by 2014. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford welcomed the arrival of the PSOs to Mordialloc, saying she had received positive feedback from many people in the local community who were looking forward to the added security the armed officers would bring to commuters travelling on the Frankston line at night. “The community has been looking forward to the arrival of PSOs at Mordialloc. They have been asking me about it, not because the station is rough, but because they want peace of mind, less vandalism, and to be part of a program that has been so successful,” she said. “PSOs are making a difference to public safety and people who use Mordialloc station will benefit from their presence.” She said she was working to get more PSOs deployed to other stations in the Mordialloc electorate as soon as possible. Under the $212 million PSO program, which was implemented by the Victorian Coalition Government in 2011, 940 officers will be deployed across the Victorian rail network by the next state election in November 2014. Before last week’s additions, there were about 350 officers at 52 train stations across Victoria.

Did you know...

July 2013 I have completed the 135km Kokoda track to raise much needed funds for two local charities, Matt’s Place and Pantry 5000. It was a tough physical and mental challenge and inspirational to walk in the footsteps of our brave young soldiers. We climbed 8114 metres, descended 7861 km, with a total of 251,000 steps and trekked up to 10 hours a day, travelling between 8 and 22km each day. I’m thrilled, with the support of the Bendigo Bank the Bauer Kokoda Charity Challenge has so far raised over $2,200. A new beat: Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford greets the newest protective services officers at Mordialloc railway station.

The armed officers are overseen by police and have the power to arrest and detain offenders in the vicinity of train stations. However, Ms Wreford said much of the work done by PSO was in providing a sense of security and resolving potential problems before they occurred. “We know the majority of people who use Mordialloc station are there to get on a train, not cause trouble,” she said. “Unfortunately, there are some people around Melbourne who make others feel unsafe. The deployment of PSOs to the station from 6pm every night will provide more security. “Through their work in calming threatening situations and neutralising conflict, they are making the community feel safer through the

deterrent effect that their presence brings. “While our PSOs have powers to detain anyone who threatens public safety, confiscate weapons and issue fines, they are also trained in conflict resolution and dealing with vulnerable people.” PSO recruits undertake a 12-week training course before being deployed and the same level of operational tactics and safety training provided to police, including the same firearms and defensive skills training. The state government last month unveiled a $78million program to upgrade infrastructure at train stations where PSOs operate, including secure administration areas, bathroom facilities and detention cells, which are designed to house criminals until police officers arrive.

I’m delighted Kingston City Council has accepted the State Government’s offer to install CCTV cameras in Aspendale. Funded under the Government’s Public Safety Infrastructure Fund, six CCTV cameras will be installed at Gnotuk Avenue, Aspendale. Antisocial behaviour and hooning have been a problem in this area over the past few years, so these cameras will help to improve community safety. This is another election commitment I have worked hard to deliver for my community. I was pleased to visit Frankston Hospital last week with the Premier Dr Napthine and Minister for Health David Davis to turn the first sod for the emergency department redevelopment. The $81 million funding will expand the intensive care unit and construct a new four-level building on site, which will more than double the size of the existing emergency department and ensure that locals get the clinical support and health services they need. The redevelopment should be completed by December 2014. The Victorian Electoral Commission has released proposed new boundaries across the state. The boundaries are redrawn so that each electorate contains a similar number of electors and the last time this was done was in 2005. The draft, which is subject to change and not finalised until October, suggests the Carrum electorate will lose the following suburbs to the Mordialloc electorate - Aspendale, Aspendale Gardens, Edithvale, Chelsea and Chelsea Heights. Carrum Downs, Skye, Sandhurst, Lyndhurst, Bangholme, Bonbeach, Carrum, Seaford and Patterson Lakes form part of the new Carrum electorate. I’m elected to represent the people of the Carrum electorate and remain firmly committed to do this and I will continue to do so. To view a detailed map please visit http://www.ebc.vic.gov.au/Map/. I’m here to help. Please contact my office on 9772 4544 or email me at donna.bauer@parliament.vic.gov.au.

Squizzy Taylor: the Chelsea connection By Neil Walker THE latest series in the TV show Underbelly focuses on the 1920s life and crimes of Melbourne criminal Leslie ‘Squizzy’ Taylor – a feared thug with a reputation for violence who amassed a fortune in ill-gotten gains from sly-grog selling, two-up schools, illegal bookmaking, extortion and prostitution. These aspects of Squizzy’s criminal career are well documented, but a less publicised aspect involves the suburb of Chelsea. Chelsea and District Society founder Frank McGuire, in his 1985 book Chelsea: A Beachside Community, noted that the late Bill Brothwell, an early Chelsea citizen, claimed Squizzy Taylor often visited a relative who owned a shop in the town and also frequented Aspendale Racecourse with “his mobster mates”. The diminutive Squizzy, who stood just 5 foot 2 inches, always had an eye on his public profile, even at the height – or depth, depending on your point of view – of his criminal ‘career’. He appeared in a film based on his life in 1923 entitled Riding To Win. The Frankston & Somerville Standard newspaper reported on 22 December 1922 that The Carrum Borough Gazette “stated that Squizzy Taylor had been making pictures in the Chelsea district”. It was this local connection that would spark a police manhunt for one of Squizzy’s associates, Richard Buckley, in Chelsea after an armed robbery in Hawthorn in October 1923 left bank manager Thomas Berriman dead at Glenferrie railway station. Berriman

was ambushed by Squizzy and his gang and shot dead when he refused to hand over £1,851 he had in his possession. Squizzy and Geelong gaol escapee Angus Murray were arrested as suspects in the robbery and murder. A third man, Richard Buckley, went on the run and into hiding. Police raids in the search for Buckley in Chelsea ignited a battle between two local newspapers of the time, with words – not bullets – used as weapons in a turf war for top dog status in the region. The Carrum Borough Gazette and Chelsea News were engaged in a circulation and advertising war at the time. The Chelsea News was the official printer of the council and the Carrum Borough Gazette was keen to win this lucrative contract for itself. The 19 October 1923 edition of the Gazette reported police detectives and two local constables raided a home in Wimbourne Avenue, Chelsea. The Chelsea News asked the next day “Is Buckley in Chelsea?” and speculated that Chelsea was an ideal place for criminals to hide, with many police raids “seeking men who were in hiding from city sleuths”. The article claimed ten detectives had detained a person at gunpoint. The Gazette used this report to fire a shot at the Chelsea News, claiming Chelsea had been libelled by “the official organ of the municipality” and “a good deal of sensational rubbish appears in the article which is pure fiction”. Making its own inquiries with

Mug shot: 1920s police photographs of Leslie ‘Squizzy’ Taylor.

police, the Gazette concluded just five, not ten, detectives had been present and no suspect had been apprehended. The Gazette stated it “does not stand for the suppression of any legitimate news in the interests of any person or district, yet we believe that it is the par mount duty of a local paper, to foster and protect the well being of all hamlets and towns in the district it professes to circulate in”. However, the newspaper tried to put pressure on its rival by noting the Chelsea News “carries with it

some hundreds of pounds of ratepayers money per medium of advertisements and printing” and that “one prominent business man states that he is going to petition the council, asking them to censure the official organ, and to cease all business dealings with them for 12 months”. Council was unimpressed with the attempt to force it to withdraw advertising from the Chelsea News, with then mayor Cr Richardson saying he did not believe in censoring the press.

Buckley was eventually captured by police in Moonee Ponds seven years later, in 1930. Squizzy Taylor was found not guilty of involvement in the Glenferrie murder, amid suspicions of jury intimidation.  Suggested reading: Murderer Sought at Chelsea by City of Kingston official historian Graham Whitehead (go to www.localhistory.kingston.vic.gov.au). The six-part series Underbelly: Squizzy airs on Channel 9 from Sunday 28 July at 8.30pm.

A man is lucky to be alive after his car was destroyed by a city-bound train near the Overton Rd crossing in Frankston on Friday 19 July. Police said the elderly driver was trying to turn onto Dandenong Rd East about 7pm but drove onto the train line by mistake in heavy rain. Witnesses saw the man’s car get stuck and a young man jumped behind the wheel and tried to move the car, without success. The elderly man was helped from the car and three minutes later the train slammed into the vehicle, cutting it in half. Picture: Gary Sissons

AROUND THE REGION

Premier digs in for hospital expansion WORK has started on the $81 million, third stage development of Frankston Hospital. The expansion will add 92 beds and a new emergency department. Premier Denis Napthine and Health Minister David Davis visited the hospital on Wednesday for a sod turning ceremony. The new wards and emergency department are being built next to the new surgical precinct. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aim of the

design of the building was to deliver contemporary and innovative working spaces for staff to deliver the highest standards of care in attractive and comfortable space for patients,â&#x20AC;? executive director of planning, infrastructure and information technology Simon Brewin said. The new emergency department will be underneath the new wards and include 49 general treatment

cubicles, four treatment areas as well as an extra 28 specialised beds, treatment rooms and consultation areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankston Hospital already has one of the busiest emergency departments in the state. The new emergency department will be able to better handle the emergency needs of our growing population in the longer term,â&#x20AC;? Peninsula Health chief executive Dr Sherene Devanesen said.

MPs on tour for ideas on economy By Keith Platt HASTINGS Liberal MP Neale Burgess led a state parliamentary committee to Europe investigating â&#x20AC;&#x153;local economic development initiatives in Victoriaâ&#x20AC;?. When established in June last year, the stated aims of the Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee made no mention of an overseas fact-finding trip, Administrative officer Matt Newington said on Friday the three-country trip was covered by the paragraph for the committee to â&#x20AC;&#x153;investigate best practice local economic development initiatives relative to the terms of referenceâ&#x20AC;?. The committee was originally to hand in its report on 24 June, but the deadline date has been extended to 31 July. Committee members were due to return to Australia today (Tuesday). No official reason has been given for the extension, although the five-person all-party committee did not begin its eight-day European tour until 15 July. A Herald Sun photograph of one of the committee members, independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, wearing a T-shirt, shorts and thongs outside a Manchester hotel led to the Premier Denis Napthine storming away from an interview with ABC TV last week. Mr Napthine became agitated after being questioned over Mr Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in the trip. Mr Shaw â&#x20AC;&#x201C; under investigation by police and the parliamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privileges committee over the alleged misuse of

his taxpayer-funded vehicle and fuel card â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was also photographed sitting next to Mr Burgess at an Argentinian restaurant in Manchester. After resigning from the Parliamentary Liberal Party on Wednesday 6 March over dissatisfaction with the Premier Ted Baillieuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, Mr Shaw was whisked away from Parliament House by Mr Burgess. While the media was trying to find Mr Shaw, he was dining with two MPs, although he declined to provide their names. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit to a Europe still reeling from the global ecocomic crisis is expected to cost $40,000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;give or take a few hundredâ&#x20AC;?, Christine Fyffe (Liberal), MP for Evelyn, who is also on the trip, told radio station 3AW. Under parliamentary rules, MPs can use their electoral allowances to pay for airfares. Other costs are met by the committee. The other MPs on the trip to Manchester, London, Amsterdam and Berlin are South-Eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich (Liberal), Albert Park MP Martin Foley (Labor) and Niddrie MP Ben Carroll (Labor). They were accompanied by the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive officer Sean Coley.

Liberal elder farewelled at age 86 By Mike Hast THE protection of Melbourne’s natural environment with Green Wedge Zones was a signature achievement of former Mornington Peninsula MP Alan Hunt, who died in the early hours of Friday morning at age 86. Mr Hunt, the father of five sons including Flinders MP Greg Hunt, his youngest, died at Peninsula Health’s palliative care unit in Frankston where he had been for two days after being transferred from Frankston Hospital. Mr Hunt’s eldest son Bob, 61, drove from southern NSW and arrived at the palliative care unit at about 3am and

was with his father at the end. Greg Hunt said his father lived in his Mornington house until December when he moved to an aged care centre in Somerville. “Dad retained his complete awareness of the world until his last days,” he said. “Over the past few weeks, he said goodbye to each of his sons. In doing so he took care of each of us. He explained that he was ready to die, that he had been blessed in his life and that he had no fears. “In the past few weeks, he had been given amazing care by the doctors and nurses of Frankston Hospital.”

Alan John Hunt was born on 9 October 1927 in Peterborough, South Australia. He was educated in SA and at Melbourne Grammar School before attending Melbourne University and gaining a law degree. He was president of Melbourne University Liberals from 1948-50, secretary of the National Union of Australian University Students and a delegate to the World University Service conference in Bombay in 1950. He began his career as a solicitor and by 1954 was a senior partner of Frost and Hunt in Mornington, later

Hunt, O’Sullivan and Daniels. He was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council (upper house) in 1961 to represent South Eastern Province, which stretched from central Victoria to eastern and southern suburbs as well as the peninsula and Phillip Island. It was abolished at the 2006 state election following the Labor government’s reform of the upper house. Mr Hunt was an MP for 31 years, retiring on 2 October 1992. The seat was won by Ron Bowden, husband of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s mayor Lynn Bowden.

The veteran MP served as a minister in the Bolte, Hamer and Thompson governments. Between 1971 and 1982, he held the portfolios of local government, planning, federal affairs and education, and was Attorney-General for a brief period in 1976. He was Leader of the Legislative Council in government between 1978 and 1982. Mr Hunt was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1992. The funeral of Mr Hunt was on Monday at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington.

My Dad had a wonderful life, says MP THIS is the statement released by Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt on Friday morning: “Overnight my father Alan Hunt passed away. He was 85. In his words, he had had a wonderful life. He was the father of five sons, Bob, John, Peter, Steve and Greg. He was grandfather to 10 grandchildren, Josephine, Selwyn, Mia, Alan, Anne, Henry, Sam, Abby, Poppy and James. He was the brother of Colin and David. And, to his great delight, for the last decade and more of his life he was partner to Leila Haywood.

Not all endings are sad. Until December Dad lived at home, in Mornington, in the house which he had loved and lived in for almost 50 years. In the past few months he and Leila have been cared for by the wonderful staff at Somercare in Somerville. In the last few weeks he had been given amazing care by the doctors and nurses of Ward 4GS at Frankston Hospital. And in the last two days he was embraced by the most caring staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the Golf Links Rd Rehabilitation Centre in Frankston.

Dad retained his complete awareness of the world until his last days. Until the very end he was actually caring for others. Over the last few weeks he said goodbye to each of his sons. In doing so he took care of each of us. He explained that he was ready to die, that he had been blessed in his life and that he had no fears. He said farewell and took care of each of Steve and Peter. Both spent much time with him in his last few weeks. On Monday he held me and took

Community leaders’ praise COMMUNITY leaders praised Alan Hunt when they spoke to The News on Friday. Mornington MP David Morris said Mr Hunt was not only a great parliamentarian but also a great representative of South Eastern Province and in particular the peninsula. Mr Morris, chairman of the Parliament’s powerful Public Accounts and Estimates Committee and Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government, said he met Mr Hunt in the early 1980s at a Mornington chamber of commerce meeting. “Alan said there had never been a public policy question where the outcome had not been improved by public input. “It is advice that has stayed with me for 30 years,” Mr Morris said. The MP said Mr Hunt “can take a great deal of credit for the distinctive [green] break between the Mornington Peninsula and metropolitan Melbourne”. Former Mornington MP Robin Cooper said he was sad to hear about the death of Mr Hunt. “I visited him in Somerville about three weeks ago and we chatted for 25 minutes,” he said.

Mr Cooper said Mr Hunt was “a great supporter of mine” and was always available to provide advice. “He had a great brain; he was a top bloke and a brilliant parliamentarian.” Mr Cooper said the Moorooduc Plain had been saved from development by Dick Hamer and Alan Hunt. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said Mr Hunt was very dedicated to the Mornington Peninsula and the community. He had a lot to do with planning on the peninsula and had helped preserve its uniqueness, she said. “We have a lot to thank Alan for regarding balanced planning,” she said. “He was greatly respected and has left us a strong legacy.” Ron Bowden, who replaced Mr Hunt in the upper house, said it was his privilege to succeed Alan Hunt. “Alan served the Parliament for many years with high distinction,” he said. “His successes will continue to bring benefits to the peninsula and Victoria.” Mike Hast

care of me. On Wednesday he held my brother John and took care of John. Yesterday, as he became increasingly frail, his brother David and partner Leila visited to say goodbye. On his last day he was surrounded by sons who read to him his beloved poems from Yeats and Byron, Shelley and the Prophet. But his favourites were Tennyson’s Ulysses and perhaps most of all Coleridge’s Kubla Khan. As my brother John read the words “In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree”, Dad cupped his ears to tell us

he was listening, and to ask for more. But there was one more thing. He had yet to say goodbye to his eldest son Bob. Bob drove overnight from Wyndham in NSW and arrived just after 3am. There, in the middle of the night, accompanied and cared for by his eldest son, he passed away. It was a grand life and we will celebrate it on the Mornington Peninsula, which he so loved, at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Road, Mornington, at 3pm on Monday 22 July. With all our love Dad, the boys.”

‘Fathers’ of green wedges ONE of Alan Hunt’s last media interviews was with The News last October, two days before his 85th birthday. He was asked his view of state Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s proposal to allow more development and previously banned uses in Melbourne’s 12 green wedges including the Mornington Peninsula. He declined to criticise Mr Guy’s proposals, staying loyal to the political party of his long life, but praised Premier Dick Hamer, saying the architect of green wedges was a man of vision and incisive foresight. His message was clear – the green breaks that have stopped Melbourne becoming like a Los Angeles or a Sydney (which once had substantial green wedges; all now suburbs) were created by a man with vision and it took vision to retain them. Mr Hunt and Mr Hamer, later Sir Rupert, formalised the green wedges in the 1970s. “Dick Hamer was a man of great abilities and great vision, and we owe a lot to him. His vision [for the green wedges] still guides planning,” Mr Hunt said. Mr Hamer was Minister for Planning when in May 1966 he brought the proposal for green wedges to his colleagues in the Liberal state government led by longtime Premier Henry Bolte, later Sir Henry. The modern concept of green wedges had been formulated in the United Kingdom with a 1944 proposal to set aside green belts around urban areas of Greater

London. It greatly influenced government policymakers and urban planners in Australia. In 1967 the government produced a report, The Future Growth of Melbourne, which encapsulated the Hamer vision. It was the blueprint for the green wedge zones. “Fingers of growth” had developed along rail lines and major roads, and in between was farmland, parks and forests. In 1968, the government adopted green wedges as policy and by 1971 they were protected by planning laws. Three of the five green wedge planning policies were introduced when Mr Hunt was Planning Minister. In 1989, Mr Hunt led a group of MPs who toppled Jeff Kennett as Opposition leader, replacing him with Alan Brown. Kennett made a comeback and led the Liberals to victory at the 1992 state election. Mr Hunt’s position became untenable and he retired, but continued to serve in various public roles. He maintained his interest in green wedges and in 2003 wrote an article in The Age that broadly supported the Melbourne 2030 planning strategy that fixed green wedge boundaries. In an article headed “World’s most liveable city no accident”, he wrote about how the Cain Labor government, the Kennett Liberal government and the Bracks Labor government all had allowed major housing developments in green wedges.

AROUND THE REGION

Sunspots bring green glow to night skies By Keith Platt PAUL Albers looks far beyond the Earth for his weather reports when planning a photographic shoot. The peak of two years spent trying to capture the perfect image of the Aurora Australis was realised at Balnarring Beach late last month. As an astrophotographer, Mr Albers chooses his shooting nights after checking sunspot activity and solar winds. At 9pm on Saturday 29 June, the heavenly weather conditions combined with Balnarring’s clear skies to give him the opportunity to record the aurora’s tell-tale green glow. “The real trick with imaging aurorae is to know when one is going to appear,” Mr Albers, a member of Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society, said. Using the internet, he was able to track the 11-year peak of sunspot activity and knew the chance of seeing the Aurora Australis was most likely within the next two days. “Sunspot activity is important because it contributes towards solar eruptions, which astronomers call solar flares and coronal mass ejections,” Mr Albers said. “When the sun has one of these eruptions, it sends charged particles to the Earth. “The solar wind is full of these charged particles and can hit a part of the Earth’s atmosphere known as the magnetosphere. The magnetosphere protects the Earth from these violent storms, which have the potential to

interfere with global communications. “The magnetosphere has two layers, called Van Allen Belts, which are usually weakest at the North and South poles. “The charged particles leak into our atmosphere at the poles and charge elements within it like hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. “Because an element tends to return to its balanced state, a photon is released during the process. This is why we see the colours and the magic light show of the aurora.” Mr Albers was ready for the 29 June light show because of an M class flare

on the sun two days previously. A “keen astrophotographer” for more than four years, he usually focuses on “deep sky objects” such as galaxies, nebulae, open and globular clusters. For the technically minded, his images are made through telescopes with a Pentax KX digital camera. For the Balnarring Beach shots, he used a Samyang 14mm wide-angle lens at f2.8 on a tripod. The ISO was 3200 for a 30-second RAW exposure. “Astrophotography doesn’t need to be complex and you will be surprised at the images a simple camera on a tripod can achieve,” Mr Albers said.

Some of his earlier images have been used by Channel 10 news and for the ABC weather, and he has given lectures about auroras during National Science Week and at astrological club meetings. “The most common question I am asked when people look at my images is ‘Do you actually see the colour represented in the image with the naked eye?’ The simple answer is no. The eye doesn’t have the same colour sensitivity as a standard DSLR camera. “There have been times when I have witnessed intense aurorae.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Balnarring reaping record crops, Picture shows come to Mornington Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 26 July 1913. CR R. Stanley’s farm at Balnarring has grown a record crop of potatoes, yielding 12 tons to the acre. *** ARRANGEMENTS have been made with Mr Marchant, proprietor of the Royal Picture Shows, for an entertainment to be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington, on Wednesday, 6th August, in aid of the Catholic Church debt. The programme will consist of an unequalled production of star subjects. *** CR J. D. Hodgins, of Hastings, has been appointed a Justice of the Peace for the Central bailiwick. *** THERE is every probability of an orchestra being formed at Mornington in the near future. *** THE Mornington Minstrel Company will be giving an entertainment shortly in aid of the funds of the Mornington Mechanics’ Institute. *** AT the recent musical examinations held in Melbourne, Miss Oliver B. Sherlock was successful in obtaining her degree of D.M.S.V. *** THE inspector of factories, Mr Howard, has been visiting the various factories and business places throughout the Peninsula during the week. *** OUR correspondent has notified us that the branch formed at Mt. Eliza, as reported in our last issue, was not one of the People’s Party, as our report

PAGE 20

stated, but a branch of the People’s Liberal Party. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason, of Frankston, held a successful sale of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, etc., on Wednesday last at Somerville. There was a record yarding, and most of the stock was disposed of at satisfactory prices. *** LAMBING has now commenced on the Peninsula, and as grass is plentiful a good percentage is expected. Stock is in great demand. One land owner who recently got a record catch of rabbits by poisoning, also secured another record selling 500 ewes, in lamb, at £1 per head. *** MR G. Keast, of Somerville, in response to a numerously signed petition, has definitely decided to offer himself as a candidate for the seat in the Central Riding of the Frankston and Hastings Shire, caused by the retirement of Cr Cole, through the effluxion of time. A keen contest is expected. *** WE regret that Mr Charles Lobb, an employee at Messrs A. Nunn and Sons’ store, Mornington, met with a very painful accident on Tuesday afternoon last, through his motor bike skidding. The machine overturned, and falling on his foot, badly crushed it. His injury was attended to by Dr Somers, and we are pleased to state that he is doing well. *** MR Edward Turner, of Hastings, is a candidate for the vacancy caused by the retirement of Cr Perrott in the Frankston and Hastings Shire. Mr

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 24 July 2013

Turner is well acquainted with council work, having been a municipal contractor for years. His father, the late Ex-Cr Turner, was also a counillor for many years in the old Mornington shire. At the present time besides Mr Turner, Mr Richard Davis is a candidate, and it is rumoured there will be others. *** IN connection with the proposal to ‘annex’ French Island, the councillors and officers of the shire of Frankston and Hastings visited the island on Friday. However, they were not at all impressed. With one or two exceptions, the land is of the poorest description and not fit for use. The inhabitants are scattered, and there are only about 30 owners who would be entitled to vote, who would be represented by three councillors. The making of roads would be costly, and the advantage to the council would not be great. *** THE small pox outbreak in Melbourne had the effect of a few locals getting vaccinated. The local medico did not have the rush of people that some of the city doctors had, and consequently he had no broken windows or torn curtains. *** MRS Grant, senr, is no better, and although not suffering much pain, she is a complete invalid. *** THE local Co-operative Packing Shed people held a meeting of members to receive the report and balance sheet of the past season’s trade. A most satisfactory state of affairs was reported, and increased support is promised for the coming season. ***

A LARGE bevy of railway men have settled down in this neighbourhood, some alterations in the permanent way having been undertaken. *** MR Horace Croft, our popular secretary to the cricket club, has left the district for Coiac, to enter into business with one of his brothers. We wish him prosperity. *** THE Flinders and district Progressive Association held a working bee on Saturday last, for the purpose of extending the plantations in the streets. Although the day was marked by severe hail storms, carried before a south westerly gale, a large number of voluntary workers stuck boldly to their posts between the showers, and as the result about five chains of plantations were fenced in. This adds further ornamentation to the streets and makes in all about 12 chains of shrubberies planted by the progress Association. They are securely fenced with a 5ft 7 inch wire fence. The trees and shrubs put in last year are looking- excellent. The success of last Saturday’s effort will probably lead to a further working bee to extend the plantations along Cook and King Streets. The efforts of all willing workers on Saturday last clearly showed the determination on the part of the citizens of our little town to keep it abreast of the times in making it attractive to the townspeople and visitors alike. Recently the committee directed the secretary, Mr T. Swift, to arrange. a working bee for the purpose of lighting the streets. This effort was very successful, and a number of self generating lamps of over 20O candle power each have been erected in the streets. They are raised or lowered on

pulleys after the style of the electric lights of Melbourne, and are proving a great success. The question of a railway construction to this district is much discussed at the present time; much credit is due to the committee of the Association for having pushed the matter forward to its present prominent stage. *** A SUCCESSFUL social in connection with St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, was held in the hall on Wednesday evening. There was a very good attendance, and a terrific programme was submitted. The supper, which was prepared and handed round by a committee headed by Mrs Deane, was all that could be desired, and was thoroughly enjoyed. After supper a short dance was held until about midnight. *** THE opening of the golf club was held on Thurslay, 17th inst., and a mixed foursome was played, 14 taking part. The best cards handed in were:- Miss Noble and Mr W. Clydesdale 33 handicap 5 (50) 1st; Miss Alecker and Mr Thomas (of Riversdale club) 55 ser. (55) 2nd; Miss McKewon and Mr Christie 74, handicap 16 (58) 3rd. Mrs Weld kindly provided afternoon tea at ‘Aringa.’ *** A EUCHRE party was held on Wednesday night in aid of the Dromana Hall, but owing to the rain which fell all the evening there was only a moderate attendance. The prizes were donated by Mr G. S. Edwards. Mrs Counsel won the lady’s after tieing with Mrs Russell and Mr J. Bong won the gent’s after tieing with Mr J. Griffith. Miss Edwards won the lady’s ‘booby,’ and Mr Dyson the gent’s.

Performance FESTIVAL Records and Warner Music Australia are excited to announce the release of Boogie! Presents Silver Roads: Australian Country-Rock & Singer Songwriters of the 70s, a follow up, or companion piece, to last Boogie! Australian Blues, R&B and Heavy Rock from the 70s. While Boogie! was decidedly blues focused, Silver Roads looks at the other side of return-to-roots coin – the incorporation of country and folk influences in the Australian rock scene of the late 60s and 70s. It looks at a local scene in which artists followed the lead of the likes of Bob Dylan, the Band, Gram Parsons and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and created some fantastic music. It includes some iconic Australian hit singles like long-lost classic Gypsy Queen by Country Radio, Arkansas Grass by Axiom, Boy on the Run by the Dingoes, Winter in America by Doug Ashdown, Slipping Away by Max Merritt & The Meteors, Khe Sanh by Cold Chisel, It’s a Long Way There by Little River Band and many more great songs from the likes of Chain, Johnny Chester, Stars, Russell Morris, Broderick Smith, Flying Circus, Daddy Cool, Richard Clapton. The double CD also features some fascinating obscurities, such as The Birth of the Ute by the Melbourne pub outfit the Autodrifters, featuring the late, great Peter Lillie, plus many more. The album was co-compiled by noted author Clinton Walker (‘Highway to Hell: the Life & Death of Bon Scott) and Boogie! compiler Dave Laing. Boogie! Presents Silver Roads is a comprehensive look at a part of Australian music history that had a huge impact at the time. With so many classic artists and tracks, and with the renewed interest in country & folk sounds in recent years, the album will be essential for Australian music fans young and old. Boogie! Presents Silver Roads is being released on 9 August alongside two compilations that look at the resurgence of roots-influenced

sounds in American rock of the same era – Cosmic Country and Heavy Soul. Visit www.warnermusic.com. au for details. *** INTERNATIONAL multi-platinum soft-rock icons Air Supply, return to Australia for a small tour in November/ December with special guest John Paul Young & the All-star Band. The prolific partnership of composer Graham Russell and vocalist Russell Hitchcock was conceived almost four decades ago when they met in Sydney on the first day of rehearsals for Jesus Christ Superstar. Instant friends through a shared love of The Beatles and music in general, they began performing original songs with one guitar and two voices in cafes and nightclubs after their evening theatre commitments. Air Supply have since produced eight global hits, seven of which equalled The Beatles run of consecutive top five singles, and amassed sales of over forty million albums while remaining a constant on radio programming. Graham is honoured with two BMA Million-Air Certificates which recognise over three million radio

plays for Lost in Love (1980’s Song of The Year and fastest selling single worldwide) and All Out of Love, while The One That You Love, Sweet Dreams and Making Love Out of Nothing At All, are well on the way to reaching that achievement. Other singles to dominate the charts are Every Woman In The World, Love and Other Bruises, All That You Want, Two Less Lonely People in The World, Even The Nights Are Better, Without You, The Power of Love (You Are My Lady) and Here I Am (Just When You Thought I Was Over You). Air Supply first found international audiences opening for Rod Stewart and now hold enthusiastic fans captive in huge venues on their own lavish tours, which have smashed attendance records. Career highlights include pioneering new markets as the first Western act to tour to China, Taiwan and other countries not previously open to our pop culture, performing in Havana to an audience of 175,000 the night before Hurricane Dennis lashed Cuba, participating in Australia’s bicentennial celebrations in the presence of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and an

induction into the New York Ride of Fame campaign. Air Supply is one of our most successful acts, performing 150 shows around the world annually and are delighted to be heading ‘home’ at the end of the year, after commitments in the Cayman Islands, Mexico, Hong Kong, USA, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Burma, Japan, Chile, Canada and more. Air Supply will appear at the Palais Theatre on Saturday 7 December. Tickets 136 100. Details: www. bluehawkpresents.com or www. airsupplymusic.com *** GREASE is still the word - due to an unprecedented demand for tickets, more performances are being released for sale this week in Melbourne.

approvals? Brothels, 40-odd houses in the West Rosebud wetlands, the NSW ALP? The list goes on. I think of Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov and Aldo Ray in that delightful 1955 film We’re No Angels. *** WE look forward to Tony Abbott as prime minister and his little Joey (Hockey) with promises of more tax cuts, community controlled public schools and hospitals, more jobs, stopping the boats and indigenous problems solved. Said Eric Obetz: “I have a sense that the Australian people will feel some degree of relief the adults are back in charge.” Really Eric? The issues are surely: immigration, health, social services, education, defence/foreign policy, climate change, the arts, the economy and employment/workplace laws. Definitive answers from Tony and “cooking with gas” Kevvy is as certain as Collingwood winning the next four premierships. Hey, anything is possible? *** SOME things can never be said too often, in fact, not often enough: there are times when one does not want to kick the bucket no matter the pain, like the night before a grand final. On the other hand, you could be watching sipping ‘Heaven’s Gate’ champagne? In the light of a global conference on advance care planning for medical treatment, I again submit my opinion. I do

not support (nor blame) the medical default position to do whatever is possible to save a life whatever the burden of treatment and however poor the outcome may be. According to statistics, 61 per cent view quality of life as paramount and would rather die than accept limitations. We want to make our own wishes known and for these to be acted upon. The never-ending problem: politicians and religious leaders. *** AUSTRALIA’S most prestigious literary prize, the Miles Franklin Literary Award, was won by Michelle de Kretser from a shortlist of five females. That’s terrific. All females. May we now have a break from the squeals from our ladies and agree that there should be no distinction in the sex of the writer. The best book is surely the best book, or do we have a secret society of Amazons? *** WHY did some teachers frighten me? Mr Baker for arithmetic at Falconer Street Central School didn’t, yet he gave me eight cuts (leather strap, extra if I pulled my hand away) almost every week. Mr Legge-Wilkinson for Latin didn’t use the strap. He just stood there with a look of disgust as it came to my turn to translate; Ellen! I’m sure he kept a list of the number of times I got it wrong. He began on new stuff to those front desk crawl-

ers and went down the aisles. I would count the numbers up until my turn (back row) and triy to look up the answer, but did it help? No, just made me feel useless. Latin remained a mystery, sadly. Parva leves capiunt animas [Small things amuse small minds]. PS: I got 100 for arithmetic. Genetics? *** MARK Robinson (Herald-Sun, AFL360) is as subtle as a ton of bricks. The speed of his attack on Harry O’Brien was followed by his apology the next day with the aura of self justification accompanied by a hint of suspicion as to the veracity of Harry’s story. Perhaps he’s entitled to his opinion, until one realises that never in a month of Sundays would Robbo apply similar reasoning to an Essendon footballer. He dared to rubbish Harry for using “filthy” language, yet a week earlier praised Black Caviar trainer Peter Moody for “colourful” language. A master of hypocracy. We miss Mike Sheahan. *** THE Tax Office is cracking down on cash-in-hand payments, which should prove a comfort for those respectable investors buying up on $2-16 million high rise apartments in Melbourne’s CBD. Best everyone pays their fare share, right? Hopefully this crackdown will ignore the outer areas from Mordialloc to Rye. Fair’s fair. ***

By Gary Turner MOVIE studio Warner Bros will sign up the sequel to the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. It has already signed up the film’s director, Zack Snyder, while actor Henry Cavill is expected to return to the title role. The original TV show Superman starred George Reeves and ran from 19521956, with Reeves starring in 104 episodes as the all-powerful hero from the planet Krypton. Reeves died at the age of 45 in his Beverly Hills home in 1959. It was officially ruled a suicide. For nearly half a century, that explanation was accepted by the general public, but in recent years, it has been called into question. Meanwhile Universal Pictures has taken up the distribution rights of the sequel Dum and Dumber after Warner Bros dropped the project.

A Grain of Salt DIFFICULT to understand why those pollies walked out on Kevvy’s regeneration/retread. Would they have preferred an election blood bath? They cop a new boss and become sooks. I’m not pro or against Kevvy but I do remember I learnt of his many deficiencies after his removal. Politicians trade in social confusion, thus a return to the wowser, captain of his high school debating team Queenslander with slightly less than half a chance. Kevvy, like Swanny and Julia before, is not into my primary interest, the performing arts; adventurous, imaginative and courageous are likely to remain foreign words. Maybe more chance with arts funding from Coalition Shadow Arts Minister Brandis? Time will tell, but I won’t hold my breath. *** SO here was I discussing the unsolvable (the boats) over an ale at the RSL; turn them back as against the humanitarian approach? Better I talk to myself but manners called for a response. The transit points (Malaysia and Indonesia) were mentioned with his response of graft and corruption. The conversation thankfully lapsed but left me wondering why we assume graft and corruption elsewhere but not here? The NSW government and monopoly casino licences? The Melbourne City Council and developer donations from building companies? Victorian government and high-rise

Understanding the Universe: Where Do Hipsters Come From? By Stuart McCullough IT’S obvious. For decades, I have been left to wonder what my life’s mission should be. Will I invent a lifesaving medicine? Develop a new, supremely aromatic soft cheese? Maybe unlock the mysteries of the human heart? It’s probably foolish to aim too high. There’s no need to try to explain the universe and the meaning of life when explaining the meaning Celebrity Splash would surely be achievement enough. For years, I have been waiting for the moment when all is revealed and I would finally know what it is I am meant to do. I need wonder no more. For, at last, I have a purpose. It’s not to invent a medicine, develop a cheese or explain a horribly misguided television program that sank deeper and faster than any of its contestants. No sir. Instead, my job is to prevent people using the term ‘amazeballs’. I was watching television when it happened. Two obnoxious looking twerps with novelty facial hair were plugging internet shopping when one of them used the word in question. I could barely believe what I was hearing. It was uttered by a creature who – although ostensibly an adult – was dressed like a twelve-yearold girl. Given the circumstances, I should have steadfastly ignored everything that escaped his mealy mouth, but for some reason it was like a slap to the face with red cabbage. The very sound of the term offended me so deeply that it almost made me want to rip off my ears. Suddenly, I felt as if I understood Vincent Van Gogh a whole lot better.

Until then, I’d assumed he’d gone to town on his own jugs of beer because he’d been giving the absinthe a bit of a nudge. Turns out, he’d only done what any reasonable person would do

after hearing some doofus suffering acute arrested development syndrome violate the English language. But what if I’m too late? What if the term ‘amazeballs’ is here to

stay, despite my best efforts? Most importantly, who is to blame for this linguistic abomination? In one sense, you could argue that no one is to blame. A case could also be made in favour of saying we are all to blame for this sad state of affairs. I, however, take a different view. I believe we should stop pretending that this wholesale perversion of language is something we have to live with and sheet the blame home to those who richly deserve it. Namely, hipsters. For those of you who have lived either in a state of blissful ignorance or outside the inner city, a ‘hipster’ is someone who has tragically mistaken irony for meaning. Everything they do, say and wear has been designed to draw attention and yet, in a cruel twist of fate, the hipster is condemned to acting as though their outlandish attire, try-hard turns of phrase and bleak outlook on life is entirely ordinary. Put another way, hipsters are what you get when you let everyone have access to the Internet. These poor, misguided souls believe ‘You Tube’ is important and that trending topics on Twitter should be given the same weight as the lesser of the Ten Commandments. Not only are they living in the inner city – they’re living in an absolute state of delusion. When I was at school, hipsters didn’t exist. It was before the Internet and back when Huey Lewis insisted it was hip to be square. But like hipsters of today, we too wore outlandish clothes and said stupid things, fully expecting that older people would find this charming and thank us for it. We reveled in the fact that those older than us struggled with the new technology

we took for granted. We loaded games onto the Commodore 64 and set the timer on the VCR as if second nature. During those halcyon years, I wore acid wash jeans and multi-coloured shirts, dazzling to the eye. My mullet was groomed into a glorious bouffant and it’s blonde tips sparkled in the sunlight. Even better, I wore a pair of ludicrous glasses that I had mistakenly thought would make me look a little like John Lennon on the front of the White Album but, instead, made me look like someone who’d come to check the accounts. That wasn’t the worst of it. For an entire year I wore a single glove in the mistaken belief that this was the epitome of being cool instead of a recipe for one-handed frostbite. I wasn’t the only one who looked like a complete dill back then. The truth is, we all looked ridiculous. In fact (dare I say it), we looked a lot like hipsters. The only difference between us then and hipsters now is that we meant it. There was no ironic detachment or knowing sense of mockery. We were, put simply, horrendously, irredeemably daggy in the most unsalvageable sense. But therein lies the beauty. You don’t have to make fun of something to enjoy it. Sometimes you’ve got to go with things as they are and embrace the horrible unfashionable nature of life. Detachment, after all, will only get you so far. For the longest time, when I looked back at photos of my teenage self I could only cringe. From now on I will go a little easier on myself. How amazeballs is that? stuart@stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Dogs kick 16 on wet track and eye top five spot PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly MORNINGTON is just one game outside the top five after recording an impressive 58-point win over Seaford on Saturday in Peninsula League. In trying conditions, the Doggies were up and about from the first bounce and by half-time the game was all over, the home side leading 6.8 to 2.3. Rather than go into their shells and try and hang on to the lead in the third quarter, the Doggies entertained the brave crowd at the kennel by ramming home 5.4 to 2.2. James Cameron was at his sensational and elusive best once again, Daniel Moss was controlling the middle of the ground and less heralded players including Michael Altenkirch, Anthony Simpson and Jack Dickson, who are all more than capable, came to play. The Doggies ran out the game extremely well also, booting another five majors in the final quarter to record a commanding victory 16.13109 to 7.9-51.

Nick Boswell was once again Seaford’s best, a very handy inclusion in the team after crossing from Rosebud mid-season. Kieran Shaw and Joe Hallal were also more than serviceable for the Tigers. The big win has catapulted the Dogs to sixth place, four points and 17 per cent outside second place. The Dogs’ percentage of 112.75 is six per cent better than Mt Eliza’s and just three per cent behind EdithvaleAspendale in fourth place. Mornington faces a massive test this weekend against Bonbeach at the kennel. Edithvale-Aspendale plays Karingal and Mt Eliza tackles Pines. Doggies coach Stuart Seagar was extremely pleased with his team’s performance. In the upset of the round, Langwarrin edged in front of Mt Eliza early in the match at Lloyd Park and hung on to record its best win of the season, 8.10-58 to 6.7-43. In the corresponding game earlier in the year, the Kangas had the Redlegs on the ropes but couldn’t put them away. They squandered opportunities,

Mt Eliza capitalised and ran out twogoal winners. There wasn’t a repeat of this performance on Saturday. The Redlegs hit back hard in the second quarter after Langwarrin got away to a 10-point, quarter time lead, but the home side responded in the third and led by 15 points at the final break. In tough conditions, both teams kicked a single goal in the last. Aaron Shaw was sensational for the winners with four goals while Michael Parker, Shane Urbans and Jarryd Amalfi were at their best. Josh Norman was once again the Redlegs’ best, while Rohan Heasley and Sam Wettenhall never stopped trying. In the context of the season, it was a massive loss for the Redlegs. Bonbeach went to second place on the ladder after winning a hard-fought game against Edithvale-Aspendale. The game didn’t disappoint in the opening half. It was hard and tough, as you would expect from neighbouring sides fighting for a topthree spot.

At half-time, it looked like the Eagles had the upper hand, leading 22 to 14. But the Sharks played like a different team in the second half, booting 7.1 to 1.3 and winning 9.3-57 to 4.7-31. Shane McDonald was at his mercurial best with four goals, and Dylan Jones won the battle in the ruck against Markham Johnson. Jackson Casey and Mark Tyrell were also at their best against the Eagles. Timmy Mannix, Troy Ogier and Mark Mullins were the best of the Eagles, while Matt Kremmer, despite kicking just one goal, worked hard at half-forward. Frankston YCW got the four points against Pines in a real oldfashioned hard and tough game of footy. Just four goals were kicked in the first half and six for the match. Unfortunately for the Pythons, they booted just one of the majors. The final margin was just 16 points after the Pythons booted 1.14-20 to YCW’s 5.6-36. Craig Nankervis and Anthony Barry

were the best of the Stonecats, while Ash Eames successfully got through another game of footy and looked at his best at times. Aaron Ludgewig was the sole goalkicker for the Pythons and one of his team’s best while Jake Berry and Beau Hendry also worked tirelessly. Karingal completed the expected and smashed Chelsea, winning 19.10124 to 1.10-16. The big win provided a lift to Karingal’s percentage and booted the team into third place, just two per cent behind Bonbeach in second place. Justin Peckett and Chris Hay booted four goals each for the Bulls, and Michael Burke and Harley Ambrose finished with three each. The Bulls went into the game without Luke Van Raay and Stephen Charalambous, while on a brighter note, Dan Noble was back. Next week: Mornington v Bonbeach, Chelsea v Langwarrin, Mt Eliza v Pines, Seaford v Frankston YCW, Edi-Asp v Karingal.

Southeast footy commissioners named AFL Victoria has selected a sevenmember AFL South East Region Commission, which will oversee football in the Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Casey-Cardinia regions. The commission was set-up following key recommendations from the 2011 AFL Review of Football in Country Victoria. It was decided to establish 13 regional commissions that would be responsible for the strategic direction and planning of football in regional and rural Victoria. The commission will not have

power over the day-to-day running of leagues. The AFL said South East Region Commission members were selected after an extensive process seeking out suitably qualified and experienced candidates from across the local region. Mornington businessman and former chairman of the Riverland Football League, Jeff Kimber, is the chairman of the commission. Kimber is also a former finance director of the Western Border League, inaugural president of Echuca United Football Netball

Club, and has held roles at Sale and Wonthaggi Rovers footy clubs. Kimber is joined by former state MP Tammy Lobato, corporate affairs executive Karen de Villiers, past vicepresident of the Victorian Country Football League Tony Mitchell, businessman Ken Jungwirth, MPNFL life member Russell Jacgung and former umpire Scott Grimster. Kimber said each member brought “some great community sport and professional experiences” as well as “the strategic ability to grow the game of Australian Football throughout the region”.

“This is the first step in putting in place a structure to ensure football in the region prospers, but in time also develop a football administration structure that can provide outstanding support to leagues, clubs and umpiring associations,” Kimber said. AFL Victoria general manager Grant Williams said the establishment of the south east commission was an exciting time for a new era of Australian Football in the region. “We see how strategic and professional all sports are becoming these days, and if we want local football

to grow and flourish throughout the southeast region, we need to ensure we have good levels of management and governance,” he said. “These commissioners will give the concept in the southeast region the very best start.” Prospective members of the new region include the PCN Alliance, Frankston and District Junior Football League, Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League (and all the clubs associated with the leagues) and Southern Umpires Association.

The final five set in Nepean League NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly DESPITE three rounds still to be played before finals, Pearcedale locked away the only spot available on Saturday, easily accounting for Crib Point. The Magpies and Rye were the only challengers left in the fight for fifth spot, but successive losses to Devon Meadows and then Pearcedale on Saturday ended Crib Point’s chances. Rye went down to Frankston Bombers and was eliminated from the race for the five. Pearcedale is in fifth place and three games clear of the Pies and Demons, ensuring an elimination final against Rosebud in week one of finals. There was plenty on the line in the Pearcedale versus Crib Point match. Unfortunately for the Pies, they lost Sam Austin during the week to suspension. To make matters worse, they lost Waide Symes in the first quarter after he received a heavy knock in traffic. The Pies lost Symes the week before to concussion in the opening term and he played no further part in that game. This immediately put the home side on the back foot. The Magpies opted to put Dave Lawson and Jon Flack behind the footy in the opening half. They were in a defensive mode from the start and never looked like troubling the Panthers in attack. In heavy conditions, Pearcedale led by three points at the first change, extended it to 10 at half-time, pushed it out to 21 at three-quarter time and ran out winners 7.16-58 to 4.10-34. Pearcedale’s Gavin Becker was the only multiple goalkicker on the ground with two, and Chris Fortnam collected 26 possessions in a best-onground performance. The ruck duel between James Cook and Ben Mitchell was enthralling with both having a significant influence for their team around the ground, despite breaking even at the centre bounces. Teenager Adam Avard played his best senior game on the wing for Pearcedale, going head to head with the Pies’ Brad Davidson. Chris Hensby was significant in setting up the win in the first half. Luke Herrington was clearly the best player for the Pies, and coach Dave Lawson had 12 possessions in the first quarter to finish the game with 25. After the match, Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd was surprised at the tactics of Crib Point early in the game. “I must admit, I was pretty surprised to see Lawson and Flack in the back

line early in the match,” Cadd said. “We prepared for them to play through the middle and up forward, but it certainly suited us with them both in the back line. “I was quite happy with the fact that Lawson was picking up possessions in the last line of defence.” Cadd was also happy with the way his team worked in the tough conditions. “It was always going to be a tough game in important circumstances. Crib Point needed to win to stay alive and we obviously wanted to shore up a spot in the five. “It was tough going out there but I thought we put our heads over the footy, got to it first on most occasions and adapted pretty well to the conditions.” Despite the shocking conditions for football on Saturday, Dromana managed 46 scoring shots against Red Hill, smacking the visitors by a whopping 159 points. The Hillmen were left goalless in the second half after booting two majors in the opening hour. They managed just four points in the second half while the Tigers booted 15.11. Terry Wheeler is in rare form at the moment and booted five goals for the winners, while Anthony Bruhn and Daniel Waddell also booted five. Daniel Lee got his chance in the ones at the expense of Toby Banks and took full advantage with three goals, including the first and third of the game. Stuart Cleeve played his best game for the Tigers since crossing from Noble Park and Braden Dennis loved the conditions. Fletcher Kearney was among the best for the Hillmen, while Ben Maguiness flew the flag for his team yet again with another three votes. Frankston Bombers ended Rye’s season on Saturday, kicking away in the second half to win by 14 points. Both sides could only manage one goal each in the first half, before the Bombers booted 3.9 to 2.2 in the second hour. Suffice to say, conditions at Greg Beck Oval were awful. They were so bad that Bombers’ coach Duncan Proud tweeted after the match “Does someone know where the grass from Greg Beck oval has gone? If anyone sees it, can you please send it back?”. It was vintage wet weather footy at the home of the Bombers. Ryan Marks-Logan, back from Stingrays duties, put in another great performance, while the class of Ryan and Nathan Lonie shone. Haydn

Moore was also back to his best after a couple of lean weeks shouldering all the ruck duties on his own. As expected, Adam Kirkwood flourished in the hideous conditions, while Matty James was at his best again, along with Jai Lloyd and Matt McIndoe. With a big preseason from its current crop and a couple of additions, the Demons will be right there again next year. Hastings jumped out of the blocks against Devon Meadows and hung on to record an impressive 23-point win. Yours truly believed the Blues would simply go through the motions for the remainder of the season, but there is a bit of pride among the team and they were far from easing through a game of footy on Saturday. The Blues opened up a matchwinning 22-point lead at quarter time and although Devon hit

back to reduce the margin to eight points at the major interval, the Blues responded and won 9.12-66 to 6.7-43. Colin McVeigh was the major contributor on the ground in attack with three goals, Tony Mirabella booted two and Mick Agnello and Michael Cave shone. Trent Cotton and Heath Black were the best of the home side, while teenager Jack Hazendonk played his best senior game for the season. Rosebud completed the expected and knocked over Somerville, but had to work mighty hard for the four points. Scores were locked at three-quarter time before the Buds booted 2.4 to six behinds to run out 9.9-63 to 7.11-53 winners. Matty Payne was again the best player on the ground with two goals, while brother Brenton wasn’t far behind. Ryan Spooner was also at his best with two majors.

Josh Collie kicked three for the Eagles, and Jedd Sutton was outstanding with two goals. Leigh Stewart had a good game. In the final match of the round, Sorrento recorded a 96-point win over Tyabb, 21.18-144 to 7.6-48. Leigh Poholke booted five goals and midfielders Leigh Treeby and James Hallahan were best afield with three each. Dion Phillips was at his best and Benny McCormack was superb in defence. Ethan Rahilly led from the front for the Yabbies and Craig Conlan and John Alexander also worked hard. Next week: Tyabb v Dromana, Rosebud v Sorrento, Pearcedale v Devon Meadows, Rye v Somerville, Red Hill v Frankston Bombers, Hastings v Crib Point.
