Christmas time coming soon There will be no local Carols by Candlelight this year, but there are still other ways to get into the Christmas spirit. Council has announced a range of activities that will be on offer from next month as part of their “Kingston Tinsel Trail”. See story page 4. Picture: Supplied

Wait begins for poll results Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au NOVEMBER is set to be a blockbuster month for election results. It may be true that the outcome of the US presidential election will get a little more attention worldwide than the results of the Kingston Council vote, but there will still be plenty of residents keeping a keen eye on the future makeup of local government. Voting closed for the local government elections last week. Ballots

not mailed to the Victorian Electoral Commission by 6pm on 23 October will not be counted. The results of the Kingston election are due back by 13 November at the latest, and could have widespread ramifications for locals. Guiding the municipality out of the COVID-19 pandemic is set to be a huge test for the new council, and one that will impact a large number of Kingston’s 162,500 residents. The incumbent council approved a bold five per cent rate cut for residents this year, a move which came at

an estimated cost of $6.3 million to council’s budget (“Residents get rate reduction”, The News, 15/7/20). With businesses expected to open up again soon, the next four years promise to be full of uncertainty and opportunity. A whopping 73 candidates put their hands up for this year’s Kingston Council poll, more than double that of the neighbouring Frankston local government area. The VEC says that based on the number of ballot packs it had received back by the morning of 23 October, it is expected that this year’s

turnout will be higher than it was for the 2016 election. “The average turnout rate in 2016 was 73 per cent, but based on current return rates, this year’s average is anticipated to be around the 76 per cent mark or higher,” electoral commissioner Warwick Gately said. “The public’s response has been positive overall. Voters have been very responsive and have exceeded expectations with the number of early returns surpassing that in 2016. “The counting of votes will take place over the next three weeks lo-

cally within each council wherever possible.” Candidates will be vying for 11 seats on the newly expanded council. All incumbent councillors are running for re-election with the exception of Ron Brownlees, who has retired. If the results go against him on election day, US President Donald Trump has not committed to leaving office peacefully. Thankfully, a slightly calmer transition of power is expected if any incumbent Kingston councillors lose their re-election bids.

Sister’s stroke inspires fundraiser DANIEL Maitland’s sister Bec was just 28-yearsold when she suffered a stroke, changing her life forever. Inspired by his sister’s story, the Cheltenham resident will be completing a “hop on hop off style” 28 kilometer relay next month to raise money for the Stroke Foundation. The relay will be completed with support from his family, friends, and gym clients. “I did not realise stroke could strike people in their 20s, but it changed Bec’s life in an instant,” Mr Maitland said. “The stroke has had a big impact on Bec’s mental health and caused memory loss and personality changes. There was also a flow on effect which included financial stress, a relationship breakup, employment issues and reduced confidence.” The relay begins in the early morning on 21 November. Mr Maitland is hoping to raise $10,000. Nearly $3000 has been raised so far. Stroke Foundation Victoria state manager Eamonn O’Toole said “it is clear to see how important Bec is to Daniel, and the significant impact stroke has had on their family. Stroke survivors and their families need help to navigate the recovery journey, funds raised though Stride4Stroke will help Stroke Foundation be there when needed.” “Every dollar raised through Stride4Stroke will have an enormous impact. It will go towards Stroke Foundation programs like our free telephone advice service StrokeLine on 1800 787 653 and EnableMe, online support services which help survivors and their families transition to life back home after stroke and throughout the recovery journey.” To support the relay visit stride4stroke.org.au/ fundraisers/TRAININGWITHMATES/stride-4stroke

Lockdown easing AFTER an arduous four months, Victoria is moving back out of lockdown. Premier Daniel Andrews announced the easing of further restrictions on Monday. The same day, Victoria recorded no new cases of COVID-19 for the first time since 9 June. From Wednesday, 28 October, the hospitality and retail sectors will start to reopen. Restaurants and cafes will be able to serve up to 20 people indoors and 50 outdoors, with social distancing guidelines in place too. The permitted reasons to leave home have been removed, although the 25km radius will remain for the time being. Indoor religious gatherings of up to 10 will now be permitted. 10 people can now attend weddings, and 20 can attend funerals. Outdoor contact sport for kids will kick off once again. Up to 10 people from any number of homes can also now meet outdoors to socialise. Home visits are also allowed from now on. Two people and dependents can visit another home within their 25km radius, but this can only happen once per day. Further restriction changes are expected from 8 November, including the removal of the 25 kilometer travel limit. The regional border is also expected to be scrapped. Capacity for hospitality is expected to increase, and gyms are also expected to reopen next month with strict guidelines. “I know personally just how much this will mean for thousands of Victorians who haven’t been able to see loved ones for far too long It will mean families are whole again. Our state is whole again,” Mr Andrews said. “We want to reach COVID normal by Christmas and right now, we’re on track to do that. It’s why we’ve got to keep going, all of us. Understanding that even though restrictions may ease, our personal responsibility in all this doesn’t. “As we take these steady steps towards reopening, the message remains the same. Please, stay safe. And if you have symptoms, you must get tested.” Brodie Cowburn

Carols cancelled but festivities still planned NOT even international travel restrictions will stop Santa from coming to town this year. Although the Kingston Carols by Candlelight have been cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there will still be plenty to do to get into the Christmas spirit. Activities and competitions are being prepared for this year’s local Christmas celebrations. The Kingston Tinsel Trail is being set up this year, with plenty to do all across the local area. Council CEO Julie Reid said “King-

ston’s Tinsel Trail is a terrific opportunity to support local businesses as they rebuild after a challenging year.” “Featuring pop-up carollers, Santa on a segway, neon installations and the distribution of shop local bags filled with trader incentives, there will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate the festive season while shopping local for loved ones,” she said. “Little ones will be able to immerse themselves in the magic of Christmas by touring the city’s decorated activity centres, finding Holly our festivals and events mascot in local shops or entering

the colouring competition via one of the specially-marked Santa’s mailboxes located in participating traders. Tinsel Trail will also feature virtual activities including Christmas-themed storytime sessions hosted by Kingston Libraries and fun workshops to participate in. “Kingston businesses have been hard hit by the lockdowns and retail restrictions in recent months and we hope the Tinsel Trail will help encourage our community to shop locally and support our traders.” For more information visit kingston. vic.gov.au/tinseltrail

Dating app worries

Stay safe on roads

POLICE are urging victims to come forward to report sexual assaults committed by people that have been met on dating apps. A police statement released earlier this month read that “instances of predatory sexual behaviour on dating apps” is becoming a greater worry. Sexual Crimes Squad Detective Inspector Juliann Goldrick said “I want to assure the community and victims of sexual assault that Victoria Police is committed to investigating these matters and holding offenders to account”. “In terms of dating apps, we might have people who are unsure about making a report because the person has blocked or removed their profile on the app, or maybe a lengthy period of time has passed and victims are worried it has been too long,” she said. “It’s crucial for police that we play a role in clearing up any misconceptions around reporting sexual assault, especially where the victim has connected with the offender via a dating app. I cannot stress enough that it is never the victim’s responsibility to determine whether or not there is enough evidence to investigate a sexual offence or solve a crime. “I think it’s crucial that victims understand that reporting to the dating app is not reporting to police, and so we encourage people to speak to us when they have been subject to concerning behaviour. “Everyone in our community has a right to go about their lives, meet new people or start a relationship without fear of being a victim of crime.”

A ROAD safety operation has been launched by Victoria Police after a horror week of fatalities. Seven people died on Victorian roads in the week following 14 October. Operation “Saturn” has now been launched, with more resources going towards road policing. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Libby Murphy said “we expect that road trauma will increase as more people get back on our roads. It is devastating to me that in the last week seven people have already fallen victim to this.” “Operation Saturn comes at a critical time for the Victorian community, with easing of some restrictions coinciding with two long weekends,” she said. “We’re urging everyone to go back to basics. That means buckling up, slowing down, and not driving while impaired. “For those in metro Melbourne, it’s the first time in a while we’ve been able to move further than 5km from home. Be patient, exercise caution and drive slowly to ensure that you keep yourself and other road users safe. Expect to see vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists around populated areas like parks and beaches and drive accordingly.” Police are also warning that regular PBTs and drug tests will be up and running. “We know that the number of drink and drug drivers typically increases on Grand Final weekend and during the Melbourne Cup Carnival,” AC Murphy said. The operation runs until 8 November.

Credit card from stolen car used A CREDIT card from a stolen car has been used to buy alcohol in Seaford. Just before 1pm on 19 September, a card that had been taken from the car was used. An image of a man police wish to speak to in relation to the use of the card has been released (above). Police describe the man as “Caucasian, between 20 to 30-years-old, wearing a hi-visibility jacket, and football club beanie.” The stolen car was recovered on Old Wells Road at 3.30pm on 20 September. Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers.

Victoria, you know fire. The 2020-21 fire season is coming and we’re about to start an important fire safety campaign. With last season’s memories so fresh, some people may find it confronting. If you have any concerns, or you or a loved one are emotionally affected by the campaign, support is available on our website, or by calling Lifeline 13 11 14.

Rainy day blues

Future debt

The High Street, Hastings streetscape renewal project is nearing completion. I anticipate the mayor, councillors and other dignitaries will be lining up for the photo opportunity and the self-congratulatory article in the next Peninsula Wide shire magazine. I regularly walk my dog through the shopping area and often need to sit to rest my old arthritic legs. All the seats are not under cover and exposed to the elements making them totally useless on rainy days unless one wants to sit in the rain and get a wet bum. Some seats need to be protected from the elements so people can use them all of the time, not just in good weather. They are not there for decoration. Bill Hale, Hastings

It makes me cringe when the most ineffectual premier that this state has had the misfortune to have ever had appears daily (because he trust no one else and he is by compulsion a control freak). To have the gall to keep telling us repeatedly what to do, as if we were all still in kindergarten, and then to tell us not to lie to the authorities if we were questioned takes the cake. I believe the decision to have private security guards [at quarantine hotels] could have only come from one person, because nobody else dare authorise this debacle without the premier knowing We find that Trades Hall Council had been consulted before private security guards were installed. Why? Do the unions run this state? Why use a non-preferred contractor who is not on the government’s list of preferred contractors to do security work within this state? Why use contractors at all when it is well known that the ADF were on call 27 March and, along with police, have done a superb job in other states. I am not looking forward to the state budget because we will find the dreadful cost to all Victorians the chaos the Andrews government has incurred. Never mind, Dan’s best friend, China, has trillions to loan us. David Lines, Somerville

Regional benefits Most residents probably now know we had to go to stage 4 here - because we are in the Melbourne metro area. While that has been a current problem; it was temporary. The on-going disadvantages for we people and businesses in Mornington Peninsula Shire are even more serious. It has been a complex problem being inside the metro area. The COVID-19 crisis will eventually decline, but the Victorian government needs to use some commonsense procedures to remove the shire from Melbourne and then begin to provide funds for necessary upgrades, such as public transport, using funding earmarked for regional Victoria. Glenn Whipp, Sorrento

Levy questions If the Mornington Peninsula is part of metro Melbourne, why is my fire brigade an all-volunteer CFA unit? And why is the fire services levy on my rates the country levy, which is higher than the metro levy? Michael Capek, Mornington

Where is CFA support? An advertisement in The News on 7 October highlighted the “strengthening and support” for the CFA. The question has to be asked: where is this promised assistance? The southern peninsula CFA has not had new trucks for more than 20 years and desperately needs new equipment, upgrades and fire stations, a problem that Fire Rescue Victoria does not have. As the CFA is the major firefighting service in the state, with wonderful effort from many volunteers going back to the 1940s, they deserve better. Attempts to contact our local MP Chris Brayne have not been successful, which makes one wonder if the Andrews government knows or cares. Memories of the last catastrophic fire season seems to have been forgotten, though not by us who live in this recognised high fire risk area, or by the CFA Kay Grey, Rye

Premier position In NSW, Premier [Gladys] Berejiklian is in danger of losing her position due to an error of judgement and the heart. In Victoria, the premier is accused of a litany of significant misdemeanours over a long time, some really serious, yet he remains unchallenged and undeterred. The disastrous Andrews juggernaut rolls on. Go figure. Peter Grey, Rye

Rules of fear Those cheering on [Victorian Premier] Dan Andrew’ lockdown should examine DHHS stats for COVID-19 as of 22 October. These indicate there have been 20,329 cases, equivalent to just 0.31 per cent of the Victorian population of 6.4 million. Most cases have been confined to the northern and western suburbs of Melbourne; regional local government areas generally experienced less than three cases. The recovery rate from the virus has been 19,340 cases or 95 per cent, the majority of cases not requiring hospitalisation. Deaths of 817 would have been much lower if the hotel quarantine program has been managed effectively by the Labor government. Given these stats, the lockdown restrictions have been a massive overreaction in view of the social and economic costs incurred. COVID-19 in Victoria appears to have been more of a feardemic rather than a pandemic. We should have

Cane a help with social distancing White Cane Day (15 October) was created to highlight the important role mobility assistance devices play in helping people with low vision or blindness lead safe and independent lives. This year, our campaign celebrated the fun, fearless and adventurous spirit of our young clients and cane users who live life to the fullest, with many engaging in everything from skateboarding to gymnastics. For many people with low vision and blindness, a white cane is one of the first tools they may learn how to use as part of orientation and mobility training, and for children, a white cane is often the key to their first experiences of independence and freedom. It is a tool they will count on throughout their life. A white cane is the mobility tool of choice for the majority of Guide Dogs clients because of its practicality and the way it can give sensory feedback about the surrounding environment, but also its importance as a visual signifier to others in the community of low vision and blindness. But right now, a white cane is more than a visual symbol that someone has low vision or blindness. It is also a visual symbol that the person using the white cane can’t easily maintain a 1.5-metre distance from others. This International White Cane Day we asked the community to be aware of people using a white cane. You can help them continue to move safely, confidently and independently through any environment, by giving them 1.5-metres of space. Karen Hayes, CEO Guide Dogs Victoria learnt to live with the epidemic, not become its prisoner. Martin Newington, Aspendale

Let them stay [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s [federal] government is continuing its cruelty towards refugees. There are people in nearly 160 households in Melbourne who mainly came here from Nauru and Manus Island for health care. They are about to receive a letter from the government giving them three weeks’ notice that the limited income and accommodation support the government has been providing for them will be withdrawn. This will leave them with no income and no accommodation. Many of those households are families, many have ongoing health problems. The option the government gives them is to return to their countries of origin (at a time when it is so difficult to leave Australia) if they will have them or find a job. While Greg Hunt says he cares about the impact of COVID-19 and lockdown on Victorians, I would hope that he would also show the same concern for the mental and physical health of these families. Australians are better than this, we value caring for families. We are 5000 short of our humanitarian target for the last financial year and we could simply allow these families to become permanent residents and allow them to contribute to our community. Marg D’Arcy, Rye

Time for adults Analysis of the federal budget confirmed to me that the children are still running this country’s finances - lots of lollies for everyone, paid for by the tooth fairy. They have no idea in the world of how to handle our two crises. Income tax cuts for the future unemployed and loans for just anybody; buy a house you can’t afford, keep on running a bankrupt business, money for everyone until the virus goes away next year. Anthony Albanese with the Labor alternative is equally hopeless.

28 October 2020

Australia has got itself into an awful lot of trouble by making nothing. We have been convinced that this clever country can thrive and become wealthy by mining, re-selling Chinese goods, buying houses and importing people. When the adults finally take control, they will have to get engineering, manufacturing and exporting reconstructed. It is exactly as if we have been devastated by a war and now, we have to start the huge process of rebuilding. First, we must get an abundant, reliable supply of cheap electricity. We have to forget the pipe dreams of solar power, 9am to 4pm only, nothing all night because there is no trillion-dollar battery system. Windmills run 20 per cent of the time. Adults will understand that it makes no difference whatsoever to Mother Earth if all of those millions of tonnes of coal are burnt in China or here. We must have our governments owning electricity generation and supply, a responsible national bank; partnering in large industrial and engineering developments, building visionary infrastructure, not just roads. Engineers, chemists, tradesmen, workers. Free trade agreements, Paris accords, United Nations rules, and economics professors, have all directed us to our disaster. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Cut short, but not out My husband has just been to the barber. He has lost copious amounts of hair from his head and his beard, the barber’s floor looked like the contents could fill a cushion. I just hope it is not a case of Sampson and Delilah (the barber) and my husband being stripped of all his strength. Sad though it is that the Grand Final is to be played in Queensland, we ought to thank our northern neighbour for providing TV football and entertainment for so many footy-deprived Victorians. The important thing here is to rejoice that it is two Victorian teams in the Grand Final. What a feat to have achieved that in this awful pandemic era. Mary Lane, Mornington

Health before wealth Those who suggest [Premier] Dan Andrews was responsible for the 800 COVID-19 deaths in Victoria, among some other things, have to recognise that the [Prime Minister Scott Morrison] has to take responsibility for the nearly 700 COVID-19 deaths in private aged care centres in Victoria (a federal responsibility) and the $1.5 billion he took out of the aged care budget when treasurer. And who can forget his turning his back on the bushfire victims who are still homeless throughout Australia. Amnesia is also apparently running rampant in LNP ranks regarding sports rorts, Ruby Princess, [NSW Premier] Gladys Berejiklian, and aged care. The PM declares a travel bubble between New Zealand, Sydney and the Northern Territory and then allows the travellers to move into Melbourne, South Australia and the west without their travel cards and without the states knowledge, then tries to blame the states even though it’s a federal responsibility. We have a Minister for Health who states that Victoria has reached the epidemiological level for it to open up. When [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt was the environment minister he wanted to put a pool on the Rosebud foreshore. Thank heavens we didn’t have a curfew like Uganda. If you were caught outside during curfew you were beaten or shot. Hang in there people, we’ll get through this despite the haranguing of the PM, [Treasurer Josh] Frydenburg and Hunt. Health before wealth. John Cain, McCrae

Pandemic possibility What the world does not need now is another pandemic. Yet in Victoria, hundreds of thousands of chickens, turkeys and even emus are now being killed in the hope that wholesale carnage can stop or slow the spread of at least three different, extremely virulent strains of bird flu. This is not surprising – confining and killing animals for food has been linked to SARS, swine flu, bird flu, and COVID-19. You’ll never catch the flu from tofu, but when tens of thousands of birds are crammed into sheds and forced to stand in their own waste and breathe in the fumes, diseases spread and can mutate into different strains quickly. People can be co-infected with an avian and a human influenza virus. The genetic information in these viruses can then re-assort to create a new virus, against which humans have little or no immunity. If you care about animals, and your own health, do what many others are doing nowadays and choose healthy vegan meals. If everyone went vegan, these birds, each of them a personality who wanted only to enjoy life, wouldn’t have lived in misery and died in terror, and humans wouldn’t be facing yet another catastrophic virus. Mimi Bekhechi, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Four figure land deal in Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough LAST week, Cr. W. J. Oates, J.P purchased the vacant corner allotment and the property with brick house adjoining in Bay and Wells Streets, Frankston. The price paid ran into four figures. It is gratifying to find our own people thus showing their confidence in the future of the town. The disposal of the land in question leaves but one other vacant allotment in Bay Street, suitable as a business site, for sale. *** ON Sunday last, upwards of 150 invalid soldiers from the Caulfield Military Hospital visited Frankston, and were entertained at afternoon tea in the Mechanics’ Hall. The hall was nicely decorated, and the long tables, loaded with numerous delicacies, presented an inviting appearance. A good musical programme was tendered during the afternoon, by local and visiting vocalists, whilst a recitation by little Miss Dulcie Logan evoked marked enthusiasm. Mr Buck, President of the V.M.C., in returning thanks for the hospitality extended, mentioned the fact that the V.M.C. would be making only a couple more trips before disbanding, and he hoped to arrange for a final visit to Frankston, where the ladies had done such wonderful work in entertaining the invalid soldiers. *** ATTENTION is directed the advt of Mr A. E. Rogan, Estate Agent, in today’s issue.

The Bay Estate Agency have likewise advts worthy of notice appearing today. *** THE Frankston Branch of the Victorian Protestant Federation are holding a public meeting at the Mechanics’ Institute to-night. *** A CORRESPONDENT writes: Thirty or more Frankston residents were present to see the favorite Eurythmic, win the Caulfield Cup on Saturday last, and two, at least, are said to have had a perfect day – one lucky man being suspected of winning close on £2,000, and another £700. There is a very old saying, and true, that it is better to be born lucky than rich! Just before the race, a local sport took £300 to £3 and £350 to £7 (or £650 to £10) about Antarian, which, at 50 to 1, duly won the Nursery. After that successful plunge, he backed four more winners – and then refused to buy wine for his best friends. *** DURING last week Albert Perrott, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Albert Perrott, Hastings, met with a very nasty accident. Whilst playing about the bay had his foot severely cut by a broken bottle. The gashes were deep and painful, and, the lad had to be motored to Mornington for medical treatment. Several stitches were inserted, and he is – though still confined to his bed – getting along as well as circumstances permit.

*** “THE Marriage Price” featuring the gifted Elsier Ferguson – the greatest emotional actress of modern times and Arthur Standing will be screened at the Frankston Pictures on Saturday night. Billy West will also he starred in a remarkably amusing comedy. *** Frankston Police Court Monday, 18th October. Before Mr. Knight, P.M. and Captain Sherlock, J.P. R. H. Woodford, butcher, Carrum, was proceeded against, under the Public Health Act, on four charges. He pleaded not guilty and was defended by Mr Williams. Relating to the first charge of neglecting to completely wrap parcels of meat in clean white paper, Inspector Robinson deposed that he found several parcels lying ready for delivery in the shop in wrappings of newspaper. On opening the parcels he found small pieces of white paper on the inside. Witness produced three scraps, which were not more than six inches square. Defendant’s excuse is that paper was very dear. The Magistrate said the practice of putting a scrap of white paper on the scales to receive several pounds of meat and then using common newspaper as an outside wrapper was very general. If the Regulations were worth anything there should be scores of similar prosecutions.

People did not walk about the street with their eyes shut. The counsel for the prosecution said that a large number of prosecutions had been proceeded with during the last few weeks. A fine of £1 was imposed. On the charge of failing to have a copy of the Board of Health regulations posted in the shop, defendant was fined 10/-. The defendant was then charged with failing to keep his sausage machine in a clean condition. Inspector Robinson produced a piece of rag which had been used in the machine to take the place of a washer on the “plunger.” This rag he found to have a sour smell and its appearance suggested that it had not been properly cleansed. The remainder of the machine was clean. The Magistrate – These cases are of common occurrence, and as the facts are advertised, the wonder to me is that the sausage trade is not killed! Defendant said the rag in question was always scalded and thoroughly cleaned before and after use. It had been clean the morning the Inspector visited the shop, but had been in the machine four or five hours. The P.M., after inspecting the rag in question, said he saw nothing very objectionable about it, and he would give defendant the benefit of the doubt and dismiss the charge. Defendant was then charged with feeding offal to swine without first boiling and cleaning same.

The Inspector said he had interviewed a boy in defendant’s employ, who said he had not been instructed by his employer not to give offal to pigs. The defendant said he had instructed the boy not to give offal to the pigs, and the boy had replied that he had always carried out the practice when working at Somerville. A fine of £2, and £2 2s costs, was imposed. George Forrest, another Carrum butcher, was charged with having failed to keep all his appliances clean. The Inspector said that defendant’s shop and cool chamber were quite clean, but the machines used in the manufacture of sausages were not kept clean. Defendant produced the mincing machine in court, and contended that the dirt found in the rim of the mincer was really oil, and did not come in contact with the meat. The cutter was in disuse, and had not been used for five months. Mr Williams said that to him the complaints seemed more like persecution than prosecution. The Magistrate said the Inspector was to be commended. A careless officer would not have detected such hidden imperfections as they had just dealt with. He was fined £2, with £2 2s costs. For not having a copy of the Regulations posted in the shop, he was fined 10s. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 October 1920

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Career Advice – Trump’s Next Big Career Move By Stuart McCullough SOON it could be over. In a very short period of time, the fate of the presidency will be known. There’s no way to describe the past four years as anything other than extraordinary unless, of course, you prefer ‘cataclysmic bin-fire’. But if it turns out the world’s largest-known Oopma Loopa is suddenly out of a job this November, the question arises – what will he do next? Or, more accurately, what won’t he do? There’ll be a book, obviously. Having already published ‘The Art of the Deal’ – which he not only wrote but had translated from the original Russian, it’s inevitable he’ll write the story of the Presidency from his perspective, given that everyone who so much as delivered the milk to him has already done so. But what would a (former) President Trump call his memoir? Something punchy like ‘Donald J Trump: Witch Hunter’ or ‘Fake News v. Fake Tan’. Or, in recognition of his antipathy towards the ‘Black Lives Matters’ movement, maybe ‘Orange Is Not The New Black’. It’d possibly be the first political memoir ever to be written ALL IN CAPS. Or to have chapters only two hundred and eighty characters long. Or to feature an endorsement on the cover from the author himself. Presumably it will be something along the lines of ‘A lot of people are saying this is the greatest political memoir of all time.’ Doubtless, Kim Jong-Un will prepare the Foreword. Whether it’ll be successful or not is another matter. Sales figures, much like inauguration attendance figures, are likely to exaggerated if not wholly invented. Most former Presidents build a library as a monument to their legacy. Rather than a Presidential Library, I can see Donald Trump building a mud-wrestling arena. Or, if he does go with convention (although I have to ask, ‘why start now?’) then it could well be the first Presidential Library to filled solely with comic books. Or to offer a free taco upon entry. That’s probably a bit

unfair – chances are that the Trump Presidential Library would be filled with books, albeit solely with remaindered copies of ‘The Art of the Deal’ and ‘Orange Is Not the New Black’. A career in stand-up comedy beckons. He’d be the kind of comic who avoids punch lines and is more ‘observational’ in nature. Personally, if he were not in a position to cause World War III, I’d find him hilarious. You can’t me tell that when you pull down on his comically-long red tie that water doesn’t come squirting out one of the buttons. Or, notwithstanding that he once paid someone else to sit his high school exams, perhaps he could pursue a career as an educator, specialising

in teaching Latin, given that he so clearly understands the meaning of ‘quid pro quo’. He could voice your car’s navigation system. However, you’d end up only ever turning right, before turning right again and again. But honesty matters with on-board navigation. It’s no comfort if you back into street sign only to be told that ‘a lot of people saying that this was the greatest example of reverse parking probably since Lincoln’ even as the airbag deploys. Even when hopelessly lost, the Trump navigation system would refuse to concede. Perhaps it’s not possible to contemplate a postTrump presidency without thinking about his

BFF (or, at least, his BFF whenever Vladimir Putin is out of town and now that Geoffrey Epstein is permanently unavailable): Rudy Giuliani. I can see them pairing up as either private detectives or a country and western duo. Ideally both. They’d sing sweet, sweet harmonies together at a performance at a redneck bar (although it may not have been a redneck bar prior to their arrival) before getting a message that some mystery needed solving and the pair of them would throw their banjos in the boot of Rudy’s Ford Festiva before launching an investigation. Starsky and Hutch, Laverne and Shirley, Laurel and Hardy – Rudy and the Donald would join that elite group of crime fighters. Scouring the countryside for incriminating laptops from hell, preferably obtaining them from someone with an enormously convenient case of face-blindness, the pair would turn in stories to the New York Post, delivered in hand-written pages shoved through the night slot. Wherever there’s injustice, you’ll find Rudy and the Donald; if not perpetrating the injustice themselves, then describing those that do as ‘very good people’. He could go back to TV but I’m sure he’d be loathe to repeat himself and simply return to ‘The Apprentice’. I see advertorials in his future. There’s nothing that guy can’t sell. He’d promote ‘Remdesivir’, the experimental drug he took while suffering coronavirus as well as the steroid that made feel fit enough to compete in the Olympics notwithstanding that it would have seen him disqualified. Of course, there’s the possibility that he doesn’t lose and there will be another four years of tweets and mayhem. Nixon was in power when I was born. Perhaps it’s just as well that Twitter didn’t exist then; no one wants to read ‘I AM NOT A CROOK’ followed by a smiley face emoji. It’s been a tough year. I just want something good to happen and for life to finally get back to something that approaches normal. Here’s hoping. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Jakupi says FV sets the trend SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FOOTBALL Victoria started a trend that looks likely to spread throughout the competitions structure of each state and territory federation. “We were the first state to link the tiers of competition – NPL and nonNPL – which allowed aspirational clubs to rise through the ranks and participate at the highest level,” FV director Sezar Jakupi said. The chair of FV’s football committee is well placed to comment given that he has overseen the review and implementation of a restructure of Victoria’s men’s, women’s, boys’ and girls’ competitions in the past few years. “NSW eventually followed suit and Queensland has just announced that it will be doing the same thing so they have replicated what we did a few years ago. “I think we have been relentless in our pursuit of better football outcomes and now our competitions are linked so if you are a club in Metro 4 and have the aspiration you have the opportunity to rise all the way to the top. “You don’t get to State 1 and then your journey ends.” Jakupi’s soccer journey started with Moreland Meadows in the 1970s. Now 55 years old having joined the FV board in 2016 the successful IT consultant has been a player, coach, administrator and zone representative. The former Dandenong Thunder chairman still turns out, pandemic restrictions permitting, as a striker for Juventus Old Boys and it is a pastime dear to his heart. “I’d be delighted if you could mention them as I’ve played there since 2003 alongside some distinguished players such as former New Zealand captain Malcolm Dunford and Joe Biskic and Bogdan Bonk.” But it seems certain that Jakupi will leave a far greater impression off the pitch where the outcomes of his football committee stewardship have a direct impact on clubs. “I believe our level of engagement with clubs during our competitions review (started in 2017) was unprecedented,” he said. “We ran dozens of sessions, dozens of workshops and it was an intensive engagement with clubs covering various items.

“For example our junior NPL involving grading then a tiered system of competition was two years in the making.” That’s a reference to the 33-game junior boys’ NPL structure whereby teams are broken into regions for an 11-match grading process then placed in leagues based on grading outcomes for a 22-match home and away season. “That junior model has now been adopted by NSW, Queensland has just announced that they will be doing this and I believe that South Australia will do likewise,” Jakupi said. But FV’s revamp of junior NPL competition has not been immune to criticism especially claims that there are not enough elite players for 48 clubs to choose from. It’s a claim Jakupi has heard many times before and his response sheds light on FV’s thought process here and hints at what may lie ahead. “Okay, this is a valid concern and I think we have to be very careful but I think there are a couple of issues here. “Can we increase the number of clubs who have aspirational goals to have better coaches, accredited coaches to run a 40-week (pre-season included) program of quality coaching? “We think it would be fantastic to have more and more clubs running great youth development programs.

brows were raised given that the withdrawal of Murray United earlier this year had resulted in an 11-team league. But before State 1 clubs think that an opportunity has opened up Jakupi explained FV’s reasoning. “That 12th spot has been reserved for Western United as mandated by FFA and while it hasn’t been formally announced my understanding is that they will take that spot in 2021.” Like many club administrators Jakupi and the FV board are bracing themselves for the full economic impact of the pandemic and Victoria’s extended lockdown. If the worst is yet to come can clubs be confident that the state’s governing body will respond appropriately? “We will not be insensitive to this situation,” Jakupi said. “Football Victoria ourselves have been financially impacted severely by not having a season and our financial capacity is obviously constrained. “We have to make sure that we are financially viable but we also need to understand the pain inflicted (on clubs) and be accommodating without affecting the integrity of competition or the rules. “I think though that there is some room to move. “Much of the economic impact on clubs remains unknown and we may

“We now have 48 clubs who have stepped up to the plate and what is wrong, for example, with raising that number to say 60 over the next couple of years? “I think too that we need to look at the word ‘elite’ which gets bandied about but let’s be realistic with 48 clubs with a squad of 20 in a junior NPL age group I don’t think we have 1000 elite players. “We may have say 50 and it is likely that most of them will be in the Victory or Melbourne City programs.” Jakupi believes that over the next couple of years there may be commonality emerge among clubs in the top tier of junior NPL competition and this could redefine the NPL concept. “From an elite perspective we may say that the real NPL elite are those clubs in that top tier and the others are aspirational clubs who want to give their players a 40-week quality program. “What we may see eventuate is a re-alignment of the NPL label so that it may not apply to all those (current) tiers of competition in fact I think that is the likelihood of what might happen.” Last week FV confirmed the senior and junior NPL structures for 2021 and when it was announced that NPL3 would be a 12-team competition eye-

have to make decisions should the impact be severe. “We will always make decisions based on the greater good. “Without pre-empting anything we are not going to be inconsiderate and that rigid that we cause a club to be seriously impacted.” In local news NPL2 outfit Langwarrin announced a raft of player re-signings last weekend. The club confirmed that 12 senior squad positions had been filled for 2021. Jamie Cumming, Luke Burgess, Damir Stoilovic, Sammy Orritt, Jaiden Madafferi, Callum Goulding, Wayne Wallace, John Maclean, Tom Youngs, George Howard, Colby Jones and James George have agreed terms. George, 20, is a midfielder and has been promoted to the senior squad after impressing during the pre-season and scoring after coming off the bench in the club’s 3-1 FFA Cup win away to Warragul United in March. “We’re very happy to see so many players demonstrate both loyalty and commitment to the club,” head coach Scott Miller said. “We aim to start pre-season in December and we all can’t wait to return.”

Portland Sky reaches new heights HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based trainer Matt Laurie has struck Group class success with promising colt Portland Sky at The Valley on Saturday 24 October. The three-year-old son of Deep Field, who broke his maiden status on the Ballarat Synthetic track just two months ago, has quickly risen through the grades to win the $200,000 Group Three Red Anchor Stakes (1200m). Ridden by jockey Ben Melham, the exciting prospect made every post a winner at his fourth career start to win by three-quarters of a length over the Lindsay Park-trained Bella Nipotina, with the Godolphin-owned Valaquenta finishing a further length away in third. Trainer Matt Laurie said it was great to land the stakes success with a colt that had shown plenty of ability at home. “From day dot [he showed us a lot at home],” Laurie said post-race. “Even breaking him in, he just always felt like a quality horse and throughout this preparation he’s just continued to improve. I think he’s just going to keep doing that. We’ve got a really nice horse.” “We’ve drawn that low gate on the last few occasions and had to ride him a bit forward but I think he’s going to be a much better horse when he can just sit off the speed and show a good turn of foot.” Laurie had queried how Portland Sky would handle a wet track heading

into the race, and despite winning on Saturday, believes he’ll be better suited on a firmer surface. “I felt like he was a group horse and we were going to strike a wet track at some point,” he said. “I still don’t think he actually handled it to be honest but I’m very pleased obviously to get the win.”

Jockey Ben Melham was stoked with the gritty performance from the colt. “He jumped out and he led comfortably and then he got absolutely pestered for 200-300 metres and in this tough going (soft 7) today it was a good solid performance from the colt,” Melham said post-race. “[Matt’s] always had good faith in

this horse’s ability and so have I so it’s good to finally see him with a stakes result on the board.” Last year’s winner of the race, Sartorial Splendor, backed up to run in the $1.5million Group One Coolmore Stud Stakes at his next start. Laurie said Portland Sky, who is nominated for the feature sprint on Derby day, could

potentially follow the same route but is wary that his colt is still in his first preparation. “We’re very mindful it’s his first preparation and we want to be looking after him so it may not be the right thing but if he was jumping out of his skin you never know,” Laurie said.
