CRIME across Kingston has surged 6.6 per cent in the past 12 months fuelled by a sharp spike in drug offences and stalking threats. Figures for the 12 months to June this year released by the newly formed Crime Statistics Agency reveal overall crime in Kingston has risen from 9645 in 2013-14 to 10,281 in 2014-15, the highest number of reported offences in five years. Drug offences rose from 710 in 2013-14 to 935 in 2014-15 led by a 144 increase in drug use and possession offences. Drug dealing and trafficking offences were up from 74 to 103 for the same period. Breaches of existing judicial orders also jumped to 935, up from 710 the previous year. Stalking, harassment and threatening behaviour offences offences jumped from 207 to 243 in 2014-15 but crimes against the person, including assaults, fell from 1393 to 1289. The latest crime figures, released last week, are the first full year’s statistics to be compiled by the independent Crimes Statistics Agency set up by the previous Coalition state government amid claims from politicians that previous data had been massaged for political purposes. The statistics show for the first time the ages of people and repeat offenders have been recorded by police

as alleged offenders and victims. Crime Statistics Agency chief statistician Fiona Dowsley said that while the number of “unique victims” across Victoria has remained stable from the previous year’s figures, there was a drop in the number of victims under the age of 25. “Over the last year we have seen a 4 per cent drop in the number of victims under 25, with the greatest change seen amongst 15 to 19 year old victims who dropped by 8 per cent,” Ms Dowsley said. Offenders under 25 also dropped, down 4.2 per cent compared to the previous year but these offenders were involved in more incidents on average compared to other alleged offenders’ age groups. “Our statistics show that on average, offenders under 25 were involved in 2.2 incidents per offender compared to the overall average of 1.9 incidents per offender.” In 2011 a Victorian Ombudsman’s report found quarterly crime statistics released three days before the 2010 state election showing a drop in assaults in Melbourne’s CBD “was based on yet to be validated data”. The Labor state government backed the formation of the CSA when in opposition and Victoria Police supported the Ombudsman’s recommendation to establish an independent body to manage crime statistics.

Come in number C143, your time is (nearly) up

Up in smoke: An arsonist is believed responsible for a $6-$8 million factory fire in Japaddy St, Mordialloc, early on Tuesday morning. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Muscle cars off road in blaze Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A MORDIALLOC motor vehicle restorer watched on in despair early yesterday (Tuesday 6 October) as fire tore through the business he had taken 15 years to build up. Leo Banks, whose Muscle Car Factory business in Japaddy St was well known for its full custom, pro-touring and concourse re-finishes, was devastated with the loss of up to 25 cars in his workshop – some valued at up to $200,000. Kingston police say the signs point to a deliberate arson attack on the business around 2am Tuesday, with Mr Banks on the scene soon after. It is believed an arsonist climbed on

to the roof of the business, one of a group of small factories, and poured an accelerant down exhaust pipes onto a mezzanine area where other combustible items were stored, and ignited them. On the workshop floor were “exotic” muscle cars, including early model Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, GT Falcons and a famed 1967 Mustang Eleanor Fastback. The vehicles were independently owned and in the process of being rebuilt and restored. Many are irreplaceable. It is believed the business was not insured. What’s worse for Mr Banks is that he was about to receive the next cycle of vehicle progress payments. His cash flow will now dry up. The fire spread rapidly throughout

the factory, destroying most of the cars, accessories and tools. Police put the damage bill at $6-$8 million, with structural damage to party walls adding to the damages. Up to 15 fire units and 150 firefighters fought the blaze for several hours, hoping to corral it from other factories – including a plastics manufacturer – in the court. But Mr Banks is determined to carry on. “I don’t give up,” he told The News. “I will rebuild the business. This is my life’s passion. “We have seven full-time employees and we work 12 hours a day, six days a week. “I am not going to walk away from them.”

A DEADLINE is looming on a decision by Planning Minister Richard Wynne to save Kingston’s Green Wedge from future landfills and tips. Council asked the Labor state government in May to approve a C143 planning amendment to rezone land outside the urban growth boundary – north of Kingston and Heatherton Rds – from a Special Use Zone allowing waste-related activities to a Green Wedge A Zone. A VCAT hearing, due to be heard on 26 October, will determine whether the Alex Fraser Group will be able to extend a permit for its concrete crushing operations in Clarinda until 2038. Councillors unanimously opposed the permit extension late last year and the firm decided to take its case to the independent tribunal (‘Plant not crushed, VCAT appeal looms’, The News 20/5/15). Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill fears time is running out for the Planning Minister to make a decision before the VCAT hearing in October. “The future of the Green Wedge is at stake and is poised on a knifeedge,” he said. “With the Minister’s support we could see the Green Wedge preserved for public parks for generations to come. Without his support this won’t be a Green Wedge, it will be an ugly waste hub for future generations.” Rebecca Thistleton, a spokeswoman for Mr Wynne, said: “The Minister is aware of the time sensitivities

around the Green Wedge case and will notify council of his decision accordingly.” Cr Gledhill hoped the Planning Minister will make a positive decision soon to alleviate neighbouring residents concerns landfill operations can continue unabated in the Green Wedge. “I’m still extremely hopeful that the Minister will support the C143 Amendment to protect Kingston’s Green Wedge, but we are at the 11th hour and time is running out.” Neil Walker

Group effort: Kingston residents are being encouraged to participate in Fluro Fridays to raise awareness of mental health issues in the community. Picture: Gary Sissons

Bright idea on mental health AN initiative launched by Sydneybased One Wave Is All It Takes to let people know help is at hand for mental health issues has made its way to Kingston beaches. Southern Melbourne Primary Care Partnership - a group bringing together local government, health and welfare agencies and community groups – is bringing Fluro Friday to Mordialloc Lifesaving Club on Friday during mental health awareness week, 4-10 October. The One Wave philosophy makes mental health issues visible to the wider community by dressing up in bright fluro clothes to participate in a range of beach based activities.

SMPCP executive officer Terry Lazzarotto said: “Mental illness is a significant issue and has a great impact on the community, especially in young people.” SMPCP has also arranged mental health first aid training for lifesaving club patrol captains “to build on the ground capacity to address mental health issues as they arise”. On the day there will be free activities including walking, Tai Chi, beach yoga, stand up board paddling demos, information booths and a sausage sizzle. Playwright and former politician Neil Cole will share his humorous but candid personal insights on the

impact of mental illness. “I encourage as many people as possible to wear bright fluro colours and visit the Mordialloc Life Saving Club to support Fluro Friday and be part of our movement to make the invisible, visible,” Mr Lazzarotto said. Mordialloc Life Saving Club will host the first Fluro Friday event on Friday 9 October, 10am-1pm at Beach Rd, Mordialloc. Group activities include beach yoga, surf ski and stand up paddle boarding lessons and music and art exhibitions.

China trade deal ‘one-sided’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE impact of the China-Australia free trade agreement has not been adequately explained to local businesses according to a Braeside manufacturer. Vinyl manufacturer Armstrong World Industries believes an apparently one-sided deal on export and import levies will create an unlevel playing field for the company to win contracts to supply vinyl flooring to Australian hospitals, police stations, prisons and schools. Armstrong’s strategic marketing manager Michael Keam said it is disappointing that the company had not heard from the federal Liberal National Coalition government about the proposed China-Australia free trade agreement. “As the only manufacturer in this space we weren’t even consulted on how this might affect our business,” he said. The Braeside-based business employs 110 staff including more than 90 at its Kingston premises. Mr Keam said the free trade agreement will see a five per cent levy on products imported from China into Australia axed immediately while a 10 per cent levy on products exported from Australia to China will phase out over five years. He said product imports into Australia from Chinese manufacturers have “increased roughly 33 per cent” in the past three years even before import levies are scrapped. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed trade agreement negotiations are not

conducted on a reciprocal basis for like-for-like products and are negotiated as part of an overall package. Federal Labor Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus slammed the inequity of the deal between Australia and China. “This agreement will make it extremely difficult for Armstrong World Industries to compete in the global marketplace,” he said. “It is devastating for our community that a business like Armstrong World Industries is being sacrificed so that the Abbott-Turnbull government could claim a rare political achievement.” Mr Dreyfus said he had written to federal Trade Minister Andrew Robb “asking him to examine whether it is appropriate to give early consideration to the application of safeguards available under the trade remedies chapter of the agreement” but had not received a reply. The federal Labor’s opposition to the free trade agreement with China in its current form puts Mr Dreyfus at odds with his Labor state counterparts. Premier Daniel Andrews visited China last month, his first official overseas trip, and hailed the China-Australia free trade agreement as “good news for Victorian jobs” in Parliament before heading to China. Federal Labor Opposition Leader Bill Shorten is pushing for changes to the agreement, mostly around labour market protections amid union concerns that Australian workers’ jobs could be lost to imported Chinese employees due to uncapped visa restrictions, before Labor will agree to support legislation before Parliament to enact the China-Australia free trade agreement.

Former shire CEO wins port job

New role: Michael Kennedy.

Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au THE shire’s former CEO Michael Kennedy has been appointed interim CEO of the Port of Hastings Development Authority following the resignation of Mike Lean last week. Mr Lean has taken a job in the transport industry in Geelong near where he lives. He was appointed head of the revamped port authority in February 2013 when the Baillieu Coalition government decided to begin longterm planning for an expanded container port at Hastings, which was due to open as early as 2025. In April 2013, the former ports minister (and

new premier) Denis Napthine announced $110 million over four years for logistics, scientific, economic benefit and other studies. (Former premier Ted Baillieu had resigned on 6 March.) The port authority lost funding late last year when the ALP won office and downgraded the expansion plans. In a statement, authority chairman Yehudi Blacher said Mr Lean had “brought outstanding leadership to the role and a genuine desire to advance the future of the Port of Hastings for Victoria. A strong feature of his tenure has been his genuine commitment to transparent engagement with the community in relation to the future of the port”. Ports minister Luke Donnellan said he “appreciated [Mr Lean’s] work in repositioning the focus on the Port of Hastings”. Mr Blacher also announced the appointment of Michael Kennedy. “Dr Kennedy was until recently the CEO of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula. Dr Kennedy brings a wealth of public and private sector knowledge to the authority with particular expertise in local government management and the transport and shipping industries,” Mr Blacher said. Mr Donnellan welcomed the appointment. “I look forward to working with Michael during his period as interim CEO.” Dr Kennedy was shire CEO from 1999 till November 2014, almost 16 years. In August 2014, the shire’s 11 councillors told him they would be advertising his job for the first time since his appointment in 1999. He decided to apply but did not make the short list and quit.

Family hub work to begin WORK will begin next month on the construction of a new Carrum Family and Children’s Centre at Roy Dore Reserve. Kingston Council has awarded a $3.6 million contract to Clayton South builders DURA Constructions to build a new centre to replace the existing Rene Anderson Kindergarten, Carrum Child Care Centre and Carrum Maternal Child Health Centre. The Carrum Family and Children’s Centre has been funded in partnership by Kingston Council ($2m) and the state government ($1.6m). Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said the new centre will provide an extra 33 kindergarten places, 39 long day-care places, maternal and child health facilities and playgroup areas to the Carrum community. It joins completed family and children’s cen-

tres in Edithvale and Parkdale and the planned Westall Hub. Open space at Roy Dore Reserve will be increased by about 900 square metres by merging the three existing centres in Carrum into a single hub. A ‘Meet the Builder’ session will be held on Wednesday 7 October, 5.30pm-7pm at Rene Anderson Kindergarten to connect local tradespeople with the project builders who will provide information about job opportunities available during construction works. “Council hopes to support local businesses and promote local job creation and it’s fantastic to see a local construction company appointed to the project. I encourage other local tradespeople to come along to find out how they could be involved,” Cr Gledhill said. The new centre is set to open in early 2017.

New direction: Federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said new signage will be installed on Peninsula Link in time for summer.

New freeway signs – at last Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au ALMOST three years after opening in January 2013, Peninsula Link freeway will get directional and tourism signs that were omitted from the original brief for the $850 million road. The signs come courtesy of intense lobbying by federal Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson and peninsula tourism officials, and will be installed in time for this “year’s peak summer holiday period”, Mr Billson said. About $175,000 of the cost will come from a federal Coalition government grant organised by Mr Billson in what some people will see as an unfair cost burden as the freeway is a private public partnership between the Victorian government and Lend Lease. Peninsula motorists were surprised and disappointed at the lack of directional and tourism signs when the freeway opened. Tourists using the freeway were even more disappointed when they ended up lost or on the wrong road. There were no signs on the four-lane road showing traffic where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the Western Port side of the peninsula. Signs showing drivers how to get to Mt Martha were also omitted. Few tourism signs were erected. In August 2013, Mr Billson said the Coalition government would contribute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist directional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”. Last Wednesday, Mr Billson said “At last, the ‘green light’ has been given by state road authorities to install the much-needed and long-awaited Peninsula Link signs”. “Townships and ... destinations across the

region will finally get the recognition they deserve,” he said. “The signs will make local population centres and key points of interest easier for visitors to find and will help businesses.” Mr Billson said the signs would also improve driver certainty, traffic flow and township identification. In total, 32 new signs will be installed and 14 alterations made to existing signs along the freeway and its approaches between the EastLink tollway intersection north of Seaford and Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Safety Beach. New township directional signs will be installed for Baxter, Langwarrin, Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston, Mt Martha, Cranbourne, Tooradin, Portsea, Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings, Flinders and Phillip Island. Mr Billson said there had been an “arm-wrestle over which tourist destinations were judged by VicRoads to be ‘regionally significant’. Signs will point to Frankston Arts Centre, Peninsula Aquatic and Recreational Centre in Frankston, McClelland Sculpture Park, and the Mornington Peninsula wine region”. In January he said there had been “unacceptable delays” in getting the signs installed. “This has been an exasperating experience.” Mr Billson said he was told signs had not been installed during freeway construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way [Lend Lease] consortium. The PPP contract will have to be altered to reflect the installation of the signs. In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private public partnership with the freeway builder, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 7 October 2015

THE Victorian Squash Country Individual Championships will be held on October 10 and 11 at the Tonic Squash & Gym Centre and Labor candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy will be defending her title. Ms Murphy won the women’s title last year and hopes to put in a good effort at this year’s event. “I have been playing squash since I was 12, and play in the Mornington Peninsula pennant league for the Dromana club, having played state grade for Victoria in the past,” said Ms Murphy, who works as a barrister. “Last year was the first time I have won that title, but had won the over 35 Australian Masters Championship, and the US Masters for 35 years and over in 2012.” While her preparation for the event has been minimal, Ms Murphy is going full steam ahead in the last week to get ready. “I have been coming off a really long layoff with injury but am back now and working to prepare for the event this week,” she said. “By hook or by crook I am going to get myself there to compete.” The squash championship is being held at Tonic Squash and Gym, 50 Collins Road, Dromana. Call 5987 1766 for details.

Reigning champ: Peta Murphy

ENCOMPASSING a sprawling 26.3 hectares – fenced into 13 paddocks – this significant land holding has a sweeping outlook across Western Port Bay and is a rare opportunity to embrace a true rural lifestyle. There is potential to run some livestock, keep horses, or just enjoy the tranquillity of the private main house that is situated a considerable distance from the road. The home has an attractive facade and is surrounded by a stand of trees and neat hedges and gardens. Several timber decks are accessible from most points in the home, and coming into the warmer months,

these will increase the living and entertaining space on offer. Timber beams add a nice contrast to the crisp white of the main open plan zone that is resplendent underneath a soaring pitched ceiling and skylight. A galley-style kitchen has plenty of bench and cupboard space, there is a dishwasher, and a huge walk-in pantry and laundry provide extra storage options. A Coonara wood heater is tucked into the corner and from the lounge and dining spaces are uninterrupted views across the pastureland to the bay. Two of the three bedrooms also have a nice outlook across the

property; the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite plus an adjoining mud room, and there are built-in robes to the remaining bedrooms which both share the main bathroom. For conversion into stables, or to house all the farm machinery, there are several outbuildings, the largest measures about 245 square metres and has a container high roller door and reinforced concrete slab. This idyllic slice of the peninsula combines the best aspects of both a sea and tree change, with coastal delights such as fine beaches and wineries close at hand.

SIX shops, owned by one family estate, at 428 to 432 Nepean Highway, Frankston have sold to property investors at auction for $6,118,000. The sale represents an average yield of 5.73% with all shops leased to long standing tenants; Cashmart, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Lingwah Restaurant, Ginseng Restaurant, Tandoori Dawaat Restaurant and The Paintspot. Director of Nichols Crowder, Michael Crowder, who marketed the property and conducted the auction on the day explained that with significant government and private investment coming into the area, this will further underpin the properties growth and potential well into the future. Mr Crowder also explained that four of the six tenants had been in possession for over 30 years and that there was rarely a vacancy at rental prices deemed modest. “There are good prospects for rental growth in the future.” He said. “The investment market in Frankston, and the Mornington Peninsula is very strong, in this low interest rate environment.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

New Buick touring cars arrive in Mornington Compiled by Melissa Walsh A DANCE will be held in the Langwarrin Hall on Wednesday evening next, given by the members of the Langwarrin Social Club. *** WORD has been received by Mr G. Shepherd, of Somerville, that his son, (Wheeler Frank Shepherd) is ill in the hospital at Malta. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual Somerville market on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses cattle, pigs, poultry and sundries. A good yarding is expected. *** A meeting of the Somerville Patriots’ League will be held at Somerville, in the Horticultural Hall, on Monday evening, for the purpose of electing officers, and general business. *** MR A. Rivett, of Somerville, met with a nasty accident a few days ago, while driving some sheep that were trespassing out of his paddock. He tripped and fell on his shoulder on a stump. On a visit to Dr Maxwell on Monday it was found that he had fractured the cap of his shoulder bone with partial dislocation of the joint. *** IN consequence of the cancellation of the 4.37pm train to Frankston, on Saturday, on and after today, (9th inst) the mail on that day will be due per train as under :— Mordialloc, 4.46 p.m; Aspendale, 4.50; Chelsea, 4.5 ; Carrum, 5 4; Seaford, 5.7 ; arriving at Frankston at 5.14 p.m.

*** AN illustrated lecture will be held in the Somerville Horticultural Hall, on Tuesday evening next, under the auspices of the local Red Cross Society, entitled “Wattle Time”, or “Yellowhaired September”, by A. J. Campbell Esq. The lecture will be illustrated by 70 superb views—Songs will be rendered during the evening. *** THE Peninsula Motor Garage, Pty. Ltd. notify by special advertisement that they have secured four new up to date “Buick” touring cars, and having secured the services of two first class mechanics, are prepared to execute all repairs entrusted to them. They are also agents for the Buick cars, and are prepared to sell same, the prices of which are quoted in advertisement. *** MESSRS T R. B. Morton and Son will sell at their rooms, 72 Swanston street, on Thursday next, at 3 o’clock, 155 acres at Bittern, situated two and a half miles from Bittern Railway station, opposite Seagrove Estate. Also at the same time, 55½ acres of land fronting the Narrican Creek, being Crown allotment 178, Parish of Moe, Gippsland, situate two miles from railway station. *** THE news of the death of Mr Charles Martin, of Frankston came with something of a shock to the residents as he always appeared to be a strong healthy man, and during his residence of some 8 years in the district he enjoyed the best of health. It appears that a few

days before his death he contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia, from which he gradually sank and died on the 23rd, at his mother’s residence, Essendon. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn their loss. *** THE contractor for the addition to the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, has finished his contract, and the building as it now stands is quite an ornament to that part of the town. The additions are done in brick with red tiled roof and consists of two large rooms in front of the old building 22ft x 21ft each, with a hall 22ft x 8ft between them. One of the rooms is intended to be used as a library, the walls of which are surrounded with shelves, on which there will be ample room to store the present library with considerable additions thereto. The second room can be used as a committee or reading room. At the rear of the building and abutting on the stage an additional room, 11ft x 14ft has also been erected, which will be found of great convenience to concert companies as a retiring room. Each of the new rooms have a fireplace in them, and gas installed, and when properly furnished will prove of great benefit both to the public and to the committee. *** VICTORIAN School Children pay for Half a Hospital. The Defense Department is establishing a Hospital at Caulfield for wounded soldiers. The Executive Committee of the Education Departments’ War Relief Fund at its recent meeting unanimously

decided to give £10,000 towards the erection of Wards, — these wards to be named “The Victorian State School Children’s Wards.” Each of these wards, 24 in all, will cost from £800 to £1000 to build and equip, so that the offer of the school is to pay for practically half the hospital. At the very least the young patriots will be providing for 300 wounded. Miss May Cox the secretary to the fund, clearly points out that the children will have a special interest in their own men, and it is certain these will not go short of comforts. From October 2nd to October 9th each school in the State will make a special effort to raise the balance of the sum voted. The week will be known as Hospital week. Last season 20,000 leeches were supplied to Melbourne hospitals by Victorian State School children, who donated the cash gained, to their School Patriotic Funds. Dr J. A. Leach organised the movement. The Doctor is now appealing for 6,000 additional leeches to him care of Teachers’ Training College, Grattan street, Carlton. He also wishes to inform frog collectors that their market is glutted, and he trusts they will turn from “frogging” to “leeching,” *** A large crowd gathered at the Somerville Stadium on Saturday night to witness the bout between the two lightweights “Wingie” Meldrum and “Queenie” Lewis, as a ding-dong “go” was expected. Meldrum entered the ring fit and

well and turned the scale at 9st 8lbs. Lewis turned it at 9st 4lbs and appeared rather nervous. J Webb acted as timekeeper, while S. Meldrum and “Pluto the Groom” were Meldrum and Lewis respective seconds. Billie Hutch was promoter, while “Bill” Lang acted in a capable manner as referee. The contest was very onesided; Meldrum landed his blows with effect, while Lewis hit out wildly (for home). However, Lewis went down in the 3rd round, and Bill Lang counted the (Euroa) Don out, and amidst cheers, declared “Wingie” the winner. *** A well-attended working bee was held at the Rosebud Recreation Reserve when new gates were placed in position and a considerable amount of clearing was done. The Committee hopes that with continued support, the reserve will be made an attractive resort for both residents and visitors. During an interval, refreshments were served by some of the ladies, whose efforts in this direction were much appreciated by the workers. Should the improvement of the Reserve be far enough advanced by the Christmas holidays, it is probable that the grounds will be “officially opened” at a Sports meeting in aid of the Rosebud Patriotic Fund, and some donations have already been promised for that purpose. “Advance Rosebud.” From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 October, 1915

THE exhibition described as the “irreverent and playful rabble-rouser of the Archibald’s” the Salon des Refusés” is coming to Victoria – and Mornington – for the first time. The exhibition showcases what’s described as “the ones that got away” – meaning those artworks that were not granted a showing in the famous Archibald Prize. They include a prized selection of the “humorous, innovative, mad, bad and dangerous entries that were too fabulous to resist”, say Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery organisers, who take delight in hosting the only showing in Victoria. The works, torn from obscurity, include portraits of Robert Forster, Catherine Martin and Carlotta, sculpture of a homeless man by Paul Trefry that was shown in the Wynne landscape prize, portrait of Greek Consul-General Dr Starvos Kyrimis, as well as Christopher Pyett’s sensitive portrait of Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty. The Salon des Refusés was begun by the S.H. Ervin Gallery, in Sydney, in 1992, in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald and

Talking point: Paul Trefry’s Homeless still human work is of silicone, fiberglass, polyester resin and horse hair. It was a Wynne Prize entry.

Wynne prizes not selected for hanging in the official exhibition. Each year a panel is invited to go behind the scenes to select the best from the many works entered, but not chosen, for the official awards. The criteria for those selected in the Salon are quality, diversity, humour and innovation. The S.H. Ervin’s Salon des Refusés exhibition has established a reputation that rivals the selections of the “official” prize exhibitions and is often cited as a “more lively

and discerning” selection, the gallery says. It will run 10 October-29 November at the gallery in Civic Reserve, 350 Dunns Rd (corner Mornington-Tyabb and Dunns Rd), Mornington. Tickets are adults $7, with Mornington gallery and other Victorian gallery members, concession and National Trust Members $4 and children under five free. There is free entry for seniors during the Victorian Seniors Festival, Tuesdays 13, 20 and 27 October.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The long and short of shorts By Stuart McCullough THE birds are chirping, the scent of cut grass fills the air and – low and behold – the blue sky has finally emerged from its winter hibernation. There’s no denying it: spring is finally here. Hooray! For a time it seemed as though winter would never end. As if art and real life were getting all mixed up and some kind of Game of Thrones-style epoch-enduring cold snap would be with us forever. And then, just like that, the veil was lifted and sunlight poured in. I, for one, could not be happier. Goodbye over-sized jumpers, hello t-shirts! Hats, sunglasses – I love so many of the accoutrements a warmer climate has to offer. There are limits, naturally. I know that some people love to wear shorts. I am not one of those people. As a consequence, almost no one on Earth as ever seen my legs. Rest assured for those who have imagined what they might look like, they are whiter than white and, if viewed with the naked eye, may inflict significant damage to an unprepared retina. Indeed, they’re so pale as to be nearly luminescent. In an emergency, ships could be guided to shore, using my exposed legs in place of a lighthouse. Frankly, I’m doing all of you a favour by keeping them hidden. As a result, I have never been and am unlikely to become a shorts-wearing champion. My problems with shorts began, like most problems, in childhood. While some might argue that shorts have a long (ironically enough) and proud history, the nineteen seventies must

PAGE 18

surely constitute a dark chapter that even the most ardent of short defenders must concede is a stain on their reputation. In actual fact, the seventies pretty much waged war on trousers generally, regardless of the length of leg involved. But the shorts were particularly memorable. They reached half way up your torso, almost render-

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 7 October 2015

ing the need for a wedgie redundant. There was a split at the side to reveal more flesh than the hem would otherwise permit. And then there was the piping, glorious piping, swimming around the edge of the garment, framing the middle of your body. Somewhere along the line, piping went out of fashion if, indeed, it was ever in

fashion to begin with. Maybe that’s where my aversion to shorts began. Granted, I wore them at school, but always felt vulnerable. There is something inherently unnerving about shorts. They require eternal vigilance lest you should end up revealing more of yourself than you ever intended. Wearing shorts to school was something done under sufferance while wearing long pants all year round was a recipe for disaster; guaranteed to mark you out as some kind of freak. I wore shorts to conform rather than for comfort. For me, finishing school wasn’t just about reaching adulthood. It was about never having to wear shorts again. My father, however, had a different view. There are two types of adult shorts: the casual and ‘the special occasion’. The former involves pretty much anything with two leg-holes that doesn’t fall down in public. The latter is a very different beast. Possibly a warthog. Or a Wildebeest; albeit one that’s impeccably groomed but a Wildebeest nevertheless. My father was once fond of formal shorts; the kind that require a belt (preferably white) and look like they belong to a suit that comes with a Pith helmet. Were it up to my father, he would doubtless describe them as incredibly stylish. However, he has no say in that matter and I, in stark contrast, would describe his formal shorts and nothing short of horrifying. Even with the benefit of hindsight, to say nothing of extensive therapy, I cannot think of a situation where formal shorts are required. Under what circumstances is it

appropriate to wear an item of clothing with all the inbuilt pageantry of shorts with a belt and still expose your hairy kneecaps? The cold hard truth is that no such event exists. Not now. Not even in the nineteen seventies. Perhaps my father’s shorts weren’t shorts at all. Maybe they were a time machine. It just might be that when I saw my father strut out into the living room in his formal shorts, complete with belt and replete with a threat to leave the house and inflict this image on the world at large, I saw the future. This, I would have concluded, is what the future holds for me. I decided right then and there that I would do everything in my power to avoid such a fate, even if it meant strapping on a pair of 501s on a forty-degree day. Discomfort is a small price to pay. Now that the warmer months have arrived, there will be all kinds of pressure. If the weather permits, next time I’m in Tyabb, my father will drag the two inflatable boats down from the shed. Christened the ‘Canoe Reeves’ and the ‘Salma Kayak’, these two vessels will be pressed into service on the lower dam. He keeps them, I suspect, just in case he wants to go up a certain creek without a paddle. But it’s not for me. Piloting the Canoe Reeves would necessitate a change of clothes. Piloting a boat demands either short pants or flared trousers. The long and the short pants of it is that I just can’t bring myself to do it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

musical realisation of a journey, of the personal changes that she’s gone through over the past few years. It was also a chance for her to connect deeply with her audience through her crowd-funded Pledge campaign (which reached it’s target in under 48 hours) and to really take the reins as a producer to create a lush cinematic world that reflects her various muses. Overall, a process that has really empowered and inspired her.

One of Australia’s most respected and sublime recording artists, Katie Noonan, has released her latest album, ‘Transmutant’, and is heading off on a national tour that kicks off in Mornington. An ethereal body of work, it introduces audiences to Katie Noonan’s Vanguard, bringing Katie back to the band environment where she started her career as an 18 year old, a backdrop where she acknowledges, she feels most comfortable.

“The Captains had electronics in that there were samples and stuff, but this explores that world a little more. I bought this very cool vintage drum machine and we played around with a lot of vintage keyboards and synths – it’s been about opening up the sound a little more.”

Fans received an initial taste of ‘Transmutant’ from a teaser single earlier in the year, a haunting track called ‘Peace is My Drug’. The album takes in a lot of sonic terrain, from the slow-build of opener ‘Falling Into A Lie’ to the layered percussion of lead single ‘Quicksand’, through the back-and-forth of ‘In The Name of the Father’ (a duet with rising star Jordan White from Playwrite) and the playful percussion of the closing ‘Cloud of Home’.

Katie Noonan’s Vanguard comprises Katie, The Captains bandmates Stu Hunter and Declan Kelly, plus a new face in New Zealand guitarist Peter Koopman. ‘Transmutant’ comes to life via an extensive national tour that kicks off at The Grand Mornington on Thursday 15 October.

Katie explains that the album’s inspiration was two-fold – as the album title suggests, it personifies a shift, a change - to mutate. It’s the

The silly season begins NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE 2015 Nepean League season was another tightly contested one and the final five went down to the very last quarter of the final round. After years of domination from Sorrento, the baton was handed over to Rosebud, the 2015 premiers. Rosebud was the most consistent side all season, while its grand final opponent, Somerville, was undoubtedly the most exciting side of season 2015. It was a fitting grand final. However, despite the fact it’s been just two weeks since the cup was held aloft, attention has quickly turned to the 2016 season. Right now, coaches’ phones are running hotter than any other time of the season. This is a snapshot of what the coaches would be looking for. Rosebud: First and foremost, the Buds need to find themselves a coach. Just one applicant for a job that saw the seniors win the flag, the reserves go into the second week of finals and the Under 19s losing two matches in two seasons. The Buds also need to find replacements for their best two players, Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest, both of whom found the travel difficult. Star forward Tom Baker is being hotly sought-after by Sorrento. Somerville: The Eagles just need experience. Some cool heads to control the excitable list. A mentor for coach David ‘Budda’ Hirst would also be a welcome recruit. No offence at all to the guys on the bench now, however, a fresh, experienced set of eyes to support Hirst on the field and off it would be the best recruit the Eagles could get. Look likely to lose Cal Dixon but have secured bull Ben Crowe. Expect a major signing later this week. Sorrento: The Sharks have lost three of their best players in Troy Schwarze (retired), Tyrren Head and Leigh Poholke (Karingal). They won’t be easy to replace. Talk is Daniel Grant and Myles Pitt would like to travel. Jon Croad will become the dominant player in the competition in 2016. Rosebud premiership coach Nick Jewell takes the reigns. Sorrento always lands a big name or two and this pre-season will be no different. Luke Tapscott is coaching the Under 19s. Red Hill: The Hillmen are just so close to challenging you can taste it. The Hillmen need a key forward, tough, experienced midfielder and a ruckman. If the boys on the hill can land those, as well as keep their list (talk is B&F winner Paul Wintle is considering retirement), they will head to the third week of finals in ‘16. Word is they are close to getting the ruckman they are looking for. Hastings: Hastings wasn’t a happy place at the end of the season. What’s required is for those who don’t want to be there to disappear and those that do put their heads down and have a crack. Taylor and Kain Stratton go to Crib Point. The Blues keep Shaun Foster

and Matt Clifford and word is they have some ‘good’ connections that might help the Blues land a few more. Rye: The Demons need to find depth. As the 2015 Team of the Year suggested, their top-end players are elite and the best in the competition. Throw in the likes of Brady Egan, who is also elite but just missed out on the best 22. A ruckman would be more than handy, as would another key defender. They need Ben Holmes to do a preseason and be right for the year. If not, they need a key forward also. Devon Meadows: The Panthers were the big improvers of 2015, especially in the back half of the season. A ruckman is the number one priority for the group, while they’ll be looking for more improvement from some of the teenagers who played in the reserves flag. Expect some recruitment news at this club. Frankston: The Bombers will kick of their year on Good Friday at Frankston’s Kars St Oval. Former Carlton and Brisbane Lion Brendan Fevola will be the drawcard. The Bombers need some key position players. Sam Drake, their best player, is heading overseas. Coach Beau Muston would have realised just how far off his side was in 2015 and what needs to be gained in the off-season. Dromana: Expect the Tigers to improve in 2016. I think it’s unfair though to simply assume that everyone who left the club is going back because favourite son Rikki Johnston is coaching. The fact is players are getting well paid elsewhere (and played in premierships) and the Tigers’ probably can’t afford to get them back. Their Under 19 premiership team was littered with stars and it’s time to rebuild. Pearcedale: The Panthers kickedoff the pre-season announcing Chris Irving as assistant coach. There will be some other names to add to this list in the coming weeks and coach Jamie Merchan is confident of landing some big fish. Merchan has a very clear strategy and the recruitment of kids is high on the agenda. Troy Jacobson and Alex Harnett return from Dolphins and Lachy Marshall has recommitted. Crib Point: There will be a buzz around the Magpies’ camp this preseason with a new coach in Taylor Stratton. The Pies were ravaged by injury this season and were a massive slider in 2015. If they can maintain their list and get them all through a pre-season, the Pies should enjoy a rapid rise in 2016. Tyabb: The Yabbies had a year of building up the cash reserves. Hosting the finals would have given them a nice cash injection. However, no point having the money if you don’t get recruits. The Yabbies need to land themselves a coach with a profile who can bring some players along for the ride. Magpies set to fly: If they can hold on to players, Crib Point is set for a great 2016.

PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW made it five Peninsula League premierships in six years last Sunday. The big question coming from the mouths of spectators and opposition clubs as they were walking out of Kars St Oval was “how do we compete”? It’s a very good question. Mt Eliza may have finished as minor premier but Frankston YCW was clearly the best side in the competition in 2015. Going into the finals, we were all hopeful of a challenge but deep down, we all knew the final result would be 10-goals plus. It was 87 points. Clubs now get to work over the coming months to build a plan to challenge the Stonecats. YCW will lose some players to opposition clubs, however they have strong reserves and Under 19’s chomping at the bit for an opportunity. The champs will also look to bolster their stocks with some recruits. The Stonecats have pockets and flankers that would walk into most team’s midfields. They have key position players standing on a wing. Fact of the matter is that YCW will not slide – they’ll be the benchmark again. Personally, I think all clubs are playing for second again at this early stage. Here’s what the other clubs will be looking for to try and bridge the gap. Mornington: The Doggies need another key forward to support Jackson Calder. Dale Whelan is a genuine leading forward but the Dogs need another weapon inside the attacking arc. Defensively they structure up well with Miller, Nolan, Symes and Haddock. A couple of 6.2’ runners would be handy. Mt Eliza: The Redlegs have reappointed coach of the year John Georgiou and now they need to lock in their existing stock. Justin Van Unen is a key, as are the likes of Lobardozzi, Gill, Booth, D’Orazio and Landry. The Redlegs need to add a genuine ruckman. They also need to get Scott Lockwood up and going again. Another key defender and forward would be icing on the cake. The Redlegs season came to a halt when Lockwood went down with a knee. Edi-Asp: The Eagles need some players with some body size. The team is gifted in terms of talent but light on. Good on the spread but pushed off the footy in close. Can’t afford to lose the likes of Kremmer, Garth, Tagg, O’Hanlon, Clark, Meehan and Mullins. Need another big key defender,

ruckman and a couple of mids to allow Mavric and Tim Mannix to play on flanks. Pines: As much as we’d like to see Guy Hendry play at a higher level, Pines can’t afford to lose him. They have arguably four of the best 10 players in the comp in Beau and Guy Hendry, Aaron Edwards and Luke Potts. The Pythons are brilliantly coached by Pat Swayne. Depth is the issue and they just need to add some B-graders to bolster the list. A full back would be handy too and another genuine gun midfielder. Brad Kiely from Langwarrin/Dolphins signed with the Pythons on Wednesday. Langwarrin: Most important thing is to appoint a coach. Clubs are circling Langwarrin and if they don’t lock someone in soon, they could be in strife. The club needs to build around the likes of Gerard Brown, Matt Naughton and Nick Hammill. The club needs to be given some life. Bonbeach: The Sharks lost a heap of players in the 2014-15 off-season, however, still managed to compete very well. They need some height and some class. There is a lot of grunt in the team but some genuine star factor is required. Seaford: Seaford has to be congratulated. They cast the net far and wide for a coach and spoke to anyone and everyone. They have landed with three time grand final coach at East Brighton Ben Murphy. There is nothing but positiveness in-store for the Tigers. A few recruits, which Ben is sure to bring, along with Rourke Fischer, and they are back in the mix for a finals berth again. Chelsea: The Gulls are yet to reappoint Brent Guerra at this stage. One wonders whether the investment in an AFL premiership player could be better spent on building on the list with a handful of recruits. Todd Gardiner is a star but he needs support. Rosebud premiership pair Rob Forrest and Jason Bristow have been linked with the Gulls. Karingal: The most exciting club of the pre-season so far. The Bulls have landed Sorrento premiership players and 2015 Team of the Year stars Leigh Poholke and Tyrren Head. Former star Bulls Duncan Proud, Cal Dixon and Chris ‘Cocky’ Hay are also being linked. Head has a shoulder and this will be a concern. On Wednesday night the Bulls signed Seaford youngsters Mark Czarnecki and Rhys Chadwick, along with Matt Tarr. Anthony Joel has also returned from Rye.
