It’s time to count on us IT will all be over at 6pm next Saturday when polling booths close and thousands of Australian Electoral Commission staff across Australia start counting the votes. Will Tony Abbott or Kevin Rudd lead the next federal government? In Dunkley electorate, which covers from Seaford to Mornington, the Liberal Party’s MP Bruce Billson – who has held the seat since 1996 – and the ALP’s Sonya Kilkenny have been battling for the hearts, minds and votes of constituents. Mr Billson has a paper-thin margin of 1.1 per cent, just a few thousand votes, and has made spending promises of more than $4.36 million. Ms Kilkenny says the Labor government has invested millions in Dunkley and will continue to do so if re-elected. Turn to Page 12 for their final pitch to voters. Last chance: Sonya Kilkenny and supporters, including federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus (centre front), at the launch of Ms Kilkenny’s campaign at Long Island Country Club. Picture: Gary Sissons
Save pound pets plea By Mike Hast A DOMESTIC animal lobby group is encouraging Mornington Peninsula residents to lobby the shire council to end the “unnecessary euthanasia of pets that go through the Mornington pound�. The move comes after Mornington Peninsula Shire released its Domestic Animal Management Plan (“Taking control of pets�, The News, 30/7/13).
Pound Reform Alliance Australia has posted a letter on the internet and is asking residents to sign it and send to the shire to “highlight the community’s expectations; it will be harder for council to ignore its residents and ratepayers�. When releasing its animal plan in July, the shire said it was considering neutering all pets to avoid community concern about the number of stray

dogs and cats being put down. Pound Reform Alliance president Tarsha Andrews said the alliance had “worked with other councils with success in turning around the high euthanasia of pound animals�. The alliance claimed that 15 per cent of unclaimed dogs and 25 per cent of cats in the shire were euthanased. “While on the surface these figures

are better than many other municipalities, the statistics are misleading as euthanasia figures appear not to include the fate of post-eight day unclaimed animals transferred from Mornington to the RSPCA or Australian Animal Protection Society. “In other words, many of the shelter’s animals transferred to these facilities appear to be included in [shire] sta-
tistics as ‘rehomed’ or ‘adopted’ when in fact many would have been euthanased. The final and true euthanasia figures would be higher than claimed.� The alliance said “community volunteer engagement is now minimal, foster carers are no longer welcome and adoptions are no longer permitted at the community animal shelter�.

Peninsula crime in decline By Chris Brennan CRIME on the Mornington Peninsula decreased slightly over the past 12 months, despite an almost 24 per cent rise in the number of rapes reported and a 51 per cent jump in sex offences. Also of concern was a 43 per cent surge in serious drug offences such as trafficking and manufacturing. Growing use of methamphetamine (also known as ice) was highlighted as the most significant drug issue. The latest Victoria Police statistics for the year to 30 June show the total number of crimes recorded on the peninsula fell 0.1 per cent from the previous year, compared to a 3.4 per cent rise for Victoria as a whole. The crime rate per 100,000 people was down 1 per cent for the peninsula but 1.6 per cent higher across the state. The slight drop in crime on the peninsula stood in stark contrast to Frankston, where crime surged 7.6 per cent – almost five times the rate of increase for Victoria as a whole. However, police said this was due to the increased number of police officers in the area and better enforcement rather than an actual rise in offending. The annual statistics, which were released last week, show 47 rapes were reported between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013, compared to 38 over the preceding 12 months, an increase of 23.7 per cent, while 210 sex offences not including rape were recorded, up 51.1 per cent from 139 cases the year before. There was a 10.8 per cent rise in assaults on the peninsula, with 1054 offences recorded compared to 951 the year before, while drug offences increased 16.4 per cent (to 377 from 324), including a 42.9 per cent spike in the number of charges laid for commercial activities such as cultivation, manufacture and trafficking. Enhanced police search and seizure powers
resulted in a 53 per cent rise in the number of weapons offences detected, with 207 charges laid compared to 134 the year before, while theft from shops surged 58 per cent to 354 offences from 224 following an increased number of police operations targeting shoplifting, especially over school holidays. Leading the decline in the peninsula’s overall crime rate was a 33.3 per cent drop in the number of robberies, with just 26 offences reported compared to 39 over the previous 12 months, while theft from motor vehicle was down 26.7 per cent to 979 from 1335, burglary was 19 per cent lower at 635 from 666, car theft (down 9.5 per cent to 239 from 264) and harassment (54.5 per cent lower at 122 from 399). Mornington Peninsula police commander Inspector Bryan Sharp welcomed the improved results for most categories of crime, commending the work of his predecessor Chief Inspector Ron Cooke who recently retired, as well as efforts by the community at large to help tackle criminal behaviour. “I am pleased to say that over the previous reporting period, our community has achieved reductions in most categories of crime and road trauma,� Inspector Sharp said. “While assaults have increased slightly, robberies have decreased by a significant 33.3 per cent. Property offences including burglary (other), theft of motor vehicle and theft from motor vehicle have also experienced marked reductions, while on the roads, our serious injury collisions are well down, which is also a very pleasing result.� However, he said family violence remained a serious concern and was largely responsible for the increase in the rate of crime against the person, a category that includes rape, assault and murder. “Family violence is an ongoing statewide
issue that exacts a terrible toll on families and the community. These destructive behaviours will remain a priority for police and support groups. “The Mornington Peninsula family violence unit will continue to target recidivist offenders and offer support to victims, so I urge all members of our community to speak out against family violence.� Across Victoria, the total crime rate was up a moderate 1.6 per cent compared to the same period last year, but Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said the 21.6 per cent rise in family violence offences was a growing concern. “We know that family violence-related crime is significantly impacting on our crime statistics,� Mr Lay said. “Over the past 10 years, family violencerelated crime against the person has increased by nearly 400 per cent. This is mainly due to increase in assaults. “We don’t think we’ve seen the extent that this horrible crime is having on our community. While we know changes to the way police respond to and record family violence incidents, as well as greater community confidence to report these matters, is pushing up these figures, it’s alarming that such a high volume of crime is being committed in the home and that people are at risk in their own homes.� He also highlighted an increase of almost 12 per cent (per 100,000 people) in drug offences across Victoria, which was being driven by increased ice and amphetamine use, and said he would be “very surprised� if this was not contributing to the rising tide of family violence. “Drug offences have been enormously problematic for us in the past 12 months,� Mr Lay said. “We know there is a significant increase in the use of ice in the community.�

Cupcake queen BALCOMBE Grammar student Hannah Magee has cooked up a gem of an idea – baking hundreds of cupcakes to raise funds for Frankston Hospital’s paediatric unit. The enterprising 14-year-old has raised $1050 after coming up with the idea at the school’s Make a Difference program, which encourages students to do projects that will improve society. Hannah was introduced to the hospital’s paediatric unit when her brother became ill. “I wanted to help raise as much money as I could,� she said. “I saw the hard work everyone was doing and wanted to give back. “I approached the school at the beginning of the year so it’s been a long process but everyone has been really supportive. The younger kids were the best. Their reaction was great. In one class, every student ordered a cupcake.� Students were able to pick from chocolate, vanilla and lemon as well as gluten-free cakes. Fellow students Mia, Amy, Ashleigh, Caitlin, Meg, Jarrah, Lachie and Ben helped Hannah. Hannah’s mother Sarah Magee was full of praise for her daughter’s efforts. “She has really worked hard on this project and been so dedicated. We are so happy that her efforts have paid off. We think this is the first of many community projects she will undertake in the future. We couldn’t be more proud if we tried.�

Dognappers collar beloved Bailey By Chris Brennan POLICE are hunting a man and woman over the theft of a “much-loved family pet” from outside a home in Hargreaves St, Mornington, last week. Bailey, a small, white shih-tzu cross, was let out from the front yard of his home by his owners about 2.30pm on Monday and disappeared a short time later. Witnesses reported seeing a man and woman park their vehicles at either end of Hargreaves St in order to catch the frightened pet. “They were seen chasing the dog up and down the street until it was picked up by a passer-by, who then handed it over to the couple after they stated they were the owners,” Senior Constable Brad Carroll said. “The male was Caucasian, aged 30 to 40, and was driving a green or silver Ford Falcon XR6 sedan. The woman was older, also Caucasian and was driving a small white sedan or hatchback with faded paint.” Senior Constable Carroll said several witnesses had telephoned Bailey’s owners in response to flyers put up around the neighbourhood with similar descriptions of the incident, however they had not left any contact details. “She’s had several responses from people all stating the same or similar stories. But she hasn’t retained the details of who called, so we would ask those people to get in contact with us to help with our enquiries. “Bailey has been desexed, microchipped and registered and his family is eager to have him returned.” Senior Constable Carroll stressed

the apparent theft appeared to be an isolated and opportunistic incident, and was not associated with internet “myths” of organised gangs targeting pets for use in dog fights. “We would like reiterate there is no credibility to those Facebook rumours

“One of the primary aims of a pound or animal shelter is to enable and encourage adoptions of unclaimed pets within the community directly from its facility. However, the council is instead using rescue groups as the ‘conduit’ by which adoptions can only occur. “The burden, both financial and practical, currently falls on rescue groups.” The alliance claimed the shire’s figure of 40 per cent of unwanted pets being unsuitable for rehoming was low. “It is generally accepted that about 90 per cent of all impounded pets can be rehomed. “Boroondara and Stonnington [councils] rehome well over 90 per cent of all their unclaimed cats and dogs and have been doing so for close to three decades.” The alliance said the shire claiming that nearly all cats being euthanased had been either badly injured, diseased or were unowned or feral was not “an acceptable reason to kill it”. “Many other pounds are working with the community to provide medical and/or behavioural rehabilitation for cats such as these. “Why isn’t the shire making an effort with treatable pets?” The alliance has called on the shire to reintroduce adoptions of cats and dogs from the shelter and promote them on PetRescue.com.au The alliance letter is at: www.scribd. com/doc/162430362/MorningtonPeninsula-Shire-resident-letter The shire has been asked for comment.

Caravan smash puts two in hospital By Chris Brennan A 61-YEAR-old Frankston security guard is in a critical condition and a 67-year-old Australian Volunteer Coast Guard member from Crib Point remains in a serious but stable condition following a head-on collision in Balnarring last week. A Hyundai hatchback driven by the Coastcom security guard rolled down an embankment after colliding with a four-wheel drive vehicle towing an official Coast Guard caravan on a steep hill on Bittern-Dromana Rd between Merricks and Balnarring roads about 2.30pm on Thursday. Rescue workers from Dromana CFA took about two hours to cut the security guard out of his work car. He was flown to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition with chest and head injuries. The Coast Guard member, who was also travelling alone, was treated by ambulance paramedics at the scene before being taken to Frankston Hospital with injuries that were not life threatening. Hasting police at the accident said it appeared the four-wheel drive driven by the Coast Guard member had lost control on the steep incline, veering on to the wrong side of the road and into the path of the oncoming Hyundai. “The caravan has started to sway and as a result of that the four-wheel drive has gone on to the incorrect side of the road and collided with the Hyundai,” Sergeant David Collins of Hastings highway patrol said. “It was pretty much a head-on collision.” The caravan, which is shared among Melbourne Coast Guard flotillas for

fundraising activities, was destroyed in the crash, with the top section separating from the axle. The manager of Coastcom, a Mornington Peninsula security company based at Sorrento, said the injured security guard was a long-serving and well-regarded member of his team. “He still in a critical condition at The Alfred,” he said. “We’re just waiting for any further news at this stage. We’re all very upset; he’s been with the company for quite some time and we’re all very close down here. “It’s a very distressing situation. Everybody knows everyone around here
and it has really hits home hard with it being someone we know so well. He was out doing his routine patrols around the Mornington, Hastings andDromana section of the peninsula and was travelling between clients when it happened. It’s all such a shock for us.” Australian Volunteer Coast Guard spokeswoman Deanne Semmner said the accident had shaken the entire organisation. “Everyone is shell-shocked,” she said. “The outpouring of emotion among flotillas across the bay has been overwhelming, not just for our member, but for the other gentleman as well.
“Our main concern is obviously for the two men, and mainly for the other gentlemen who was badly injured. Our thoughts and prayers obviously go out to him and his family.” She said the Coast Guard member served as a skipper at Hastings and was highly experienced. He was transporting the caravan to Frankston with his own vehicle to be used in a weekend fundraising event at Langwarrin. “He’s a very well decorated Coast Guard member,” she said. “He’s been in the Coast Guard for well over 20 years. He’s a very fit man and is still skipper down there at Hast-
ings, so he’s often out there on the bay. “He’s doing all right,” she said. “He’s still in hospital, but our concerns are now with the other individual involved who we understand is in a serious condition. “It’s a particularly difficult situation. It was such a devastating accident. We’re a volunteer organisation out there trying to do good in the community. We’re so used to saving other people’s lives, so for this to happen is just a terrible tragedy. “We just want to extend our prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery to the man and his family.”

Breaking waves an issue for port By Keith Platt SURFERS are pressuring Flinders MP Greg Hunt to make sure beaches and wave quality are considered in studies assessing the environmental impact of an expanded Port of Hastings. Surf breaks in Western Port and Phillip Island are included on a list of Australia’s “most endangered waves”. Rex Campbell, chairman of the Surfrider Foundation, said Mr Hunt was likely to be the next federal environment minister and should make sure environmental effects of the proposed Port of Hastings expansion were investigated “at the highest level possible” under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. He said dredging shipping channels as well as oil spills could affect beaches and the quality of waves in Western Port and on the island. “We want surfing and wave quality included in the criteria of any environmental studies,” Mr Campbell said. “Surfing and our beaches are both huge tourism and economic generators for the peninsula and Phillip Island. “People flood down here from Melbourne when the surf is good and during holidays. “Dredging could change the amount of sand on beaches and at surf breaks. Surfing isn’t like footy where you can go to an oval – waves depend on sand, tides and winds lining up. It can lead to massive erosion. “If Mr Hunt is the environment min-
ister, he needs to ensure the federal government and his department assesses Western Port under the EPBC Act and doesn’t just leave it up to the state.” Mr Campbell said Mr Hunt assured a candidates’ meeting in Hastings last week that any environmental assessment of Western Port would be as thorough as any that had ever been seen in Australia. “We believe he will face conflicts between commitments to remove green tape and making sure this is done. “They might find it’s not a wise measure to build the port.” The Surfrider Foundation says an endangered wave “is one where the wave itself is threatened, or the immediate coastal environment and surfing amenity is threatened, by at least two of the following impacts: coastal development, accessibility, overcrowding, polluted water, climate change, visual amenity (as seen from the surf and shore) and ecosystem integrity. The top eight endangered waves listed by the foundation are: 1 Bastion Point, Mallacoota, Victoria. 2 Keppell Coast, Queensland. 3 Ball Bay, Norfolk Island. 4 Tam O’Shanter Bay, Tasmania. 5 North Narrabeen, Sydney, NSW. 6 Bells Beach, Surf Coast, Victoria. 7 Kirra, Gold Coast, Queensland. 8 Western Port/Phillip Island, Victoria.
Last rites: Doug Thring with one of the dead fairy penguins he found washed up on the beach at Canadian Bay. Picture: Gary Sissons
Garbage exacts deadly toll on wildlife RUBBISH from Melbourne washed up on Mornington Peninsula beaches is proving deadly to local marine life. Mt Eliza resident Doug Thring recently found two dead fairy penguins washed up on the beach at Canadian Bay that appear to have been killed by rubbish. It was the first time he had come across any dead penguins in more than fifty years’ of regular visits to the beach. “And this was two of them in the space of two weeks,” Mr Thring told The News. “It’s just so disappointing to see this happening to our beautiful bay.” Mr Thring said he found the first
dead penguin about two weeks ago following heavy storms. “There was rubbish all over the beach at the time. It seemed to be still alive because its eyes hadn’t fully covered over yet, so I tried to massage its heart, but no good came of it. So I buried the poor thing. “Then two weeks later I found another one. This one had a rubber band wrapped tightly around its beak and head, which would have made it impossible for it to eat, although I think it probably drowned because it couldn’t close its beak properly. “It just goes to show that even the smallest things can prove deadly to
wildlife. People think it’s only the large items of rubbish that cause problems, but here’s an example that proves that it can be even the most innocuous items such as a rubber band that can kill our wildlife. Mr Thring said his find showed there was still much work to be done to protect the bay. “A lot of people say our bay is getting better but you have to question that with the amount of rubbish and pollution that keeps going in and washing up on our beaches. It’s important for kids to understand the amount of damage rubbish can cause.”

History in making as Red Hill hits wall THE colourful history of Red Hill, from its original Aboriginal inhabitants to early pioneering days and right up to the modern day, has been brought to life in 28-metre mural created by Red Hill Consolidated School students. Art students from grades 5 and 6 worked with Red Hill artist Michael Leeworthy, who tutored them in design, drawing and painting for the project, while members of the Red Hill Lions Club assisted in installing the mural in the school grounds. Leeworthy said school principal Leanne Marshall and art teacher Ian Jarman had been “wonderful to work with” and the pupils were “very enthusiastic” participants. “Wanting to work on the mural in their lunch break showed they really like doing it,” he said. The enormous artwork, which was funded by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Community Partnerships program, was unveiled last week at a ceremony attended by Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin. Cr Martin said the project had provided students with a valuable insight into the way artists works “from planning, designing, listening to stories from local elders with the artist, and pulling it all together to achieve a finished creative outcome”.

Parliament honours Alan Hunt
MP battled airline tycoon, developers and railwaymen By Mike Hast THE Victorian Parliament has honoured the late Alan Hunt, who died in July aged 86. Mr Hunt of Mornington was a longserving member of the Legislative Council; a minister in the Bolte, Hamer and Thompson governments; and a Leader of the Opposition, Leader of the Government and President of the Legislative Council. In Parliament, Premier Denis Napthine moved a motion to recognise the contribution of Mr Hunt to the Parliament and Victoria. Mornington MP David Morris told the Parliament that Mr Hunt was held in high esteem “by his colleagues, a perspective strongly shared by the community of the Mornington Peninsula”. Mr Morris said Mr Hunt was “… first and foremost a man of principle and, as others have remarked, perhaps his backbench career may have been a little bit shorter had he felt the need for circumspection. But he chose to speak out. He spoke out about what he saw as a failure of the system when a man of considerable influence had been given consideration perhaps greater than that given to an ordinary citizen. Alan thought that was wrong, and he was prepared to say so. The subsequent inquiry vindicated his stand”. Mr Morris was referring to a celebrated planning scandal involving airline tycoon and Mt Eliza resident Reg Ansett, who became Sir Reg in 1969.
Mr Hunt was elected to Parliament in 1961 and soon after exposed secret lobbying by Mr Ansett to have a proposed State Rivers and Water Supply Commission reservoir moved from his property in the green belt overlooking Port Phillip between Mt Eliza and Mornington to a neighbour’s land. (The commission was the forerunner of Melbourne Water.) Premier Henry Bolte, a friend of Mr Ansett, was forced to set up a judicial inquiry in 1963, which upheld Mr Hunt’s claims. The reservoir was eventually built on the inland side of Nepean Highway, away from the land of Mr Ansett and his neighbour. Mr Hunt remained on the backbench for almost 10 years until his close ally Rupert Hamer became deputy premier in 1971 when Mr Hunt was finally elevated to cabinet. Mr Morris said Melbourne’s green wedge zones were set up by Mr Hamer and Mr Hunt. “He developed a suite of planning statements for the Mornington Peninsula, Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley and Macedon Ranges,” Mr Morris said. “All of those areas today benefit from his foresight, and many of the provisions that are contained in those early statements of planning policy remain in planning schemes today. “After his university years, Alan quickly made a name for himself in the law. By 1954 he was the principal of
Frost and Hunt in Mornington, then a town of a few thousand people. “It was distant from metropolitan Melbourne. There was not even a direct train route; the electric train line stopped at Frankston, and there was a rather circuitous train route to get to Mornington. “Local legend suggests that it was perhaps at this time that Alan first entered public debate. As the story goes, Victorian Railways had decided to extend the Frankston line to Mornington by a more direct route, and the locals were terrified. “They did not want to be at the end of the train line, and they did not want to be connected to the electric train line. Alan very effectively gave voice to their fears, and that railway line was never built.” Mr Morris said the years Alan Hunt spent on the backbench “allowed Alan to hone his skills, and when the opportunity to achieve cabinet rank was offered, he seized it with both hands”. “He was Minister without Portfolio in 1971, Minister for Local Government 1971-79, Minister for Planning 1973-76 and 1978-79, briefly Attorney-General in 1976, Minister for Veterans’ Affairs 1976-78 and Minister for Education 1979-82. “In the 1970s there were some considerable challenges on the Mornington Peninsula. A decade earlier the Bolte government had proclaimed that Western Port, with its natural deep channels, safe harbour and almost lim-

itless supply of flat land, was the logical place to build what was termed the Ruhr of Victoria. “A plan was prepared for the industrialisation of Western Port. Eventually it was given the title Statement of Planning Policy No 1. “Plans were shaped, Crib Point refinery was built, an airport was proposed. Huge tracts of land were set aside on French Island for the State Electricity Commission to build nuclear power stations and for Lysaghts to build steelworks on both French Island and the mainland, and labour was needed to run the Ruhr of Victoria. “Workers for this new industrial heartland were to be accommodated on the Moorooduc Plain.” It was planned that 150,000 people would be living there by 2000, Mr Morris said. Mr Hunt’s planning policies stopped the development of the plain and the government’s plan for Western Port was scaled back. Mr Hunt was also responsible for improving the Planning and Environ-
ment Act, created by the Cain Labor government in 1987 to replace the Town and Country Planning Act 1961. “The original bill was a creditable effort, but there were some holes in it you could drive a truck through. More than 300 Alan Hunt-drafted amendments later, a very good piece of legislation was ultimately passed,” Mr Morris said. Mr Morris said he would always remember advice from Mr Hunt that was given during the battle over the building of what is now Centro Mornington shopping centre. “His words were that there has never been a public policy question that has not had its outcome improved by public input. “That advice has stayed with me for the intervening 30 years, and I have to say that it has served me well. “Alan was a man of enormous integrity and great strength of character. He was also a man who lived to serve his community, and indeed he served his community, this state and this Parliament with great distinction.”
Grants to tackle peninsula’s hazards THE state government is offering grants of up to $110,000 to help regional and rural communities to tackle hazards such as bushfires, floods and storm surges. The Resilient Community program replaces the Fire Ready Communities Grants program. Mornington MP David Morris said the Mornington Peninsula was “particularly vulnerable to fire hazards
with vast areas of bushland across our whole region”. “Communities on the peninsula face unique challenges and a ‘one-size-fitsall’ approach is not always appropriate – in fact, some communities can face multiple hazards,” he said. “It is local people who know what it takes to make their communities safer, better informed and more prepared to tackle the impact of these hazards.”
He said Mornington Peninsula Shire, community groups and business associations could apply for the grants. They would provide funding for: Community-led projects in highrisk communities that establish shared responsibility for all hazards. Education and engagement activities – to help the community understand risks and take an active role in emergency management.

Community-led local risk and hazard workshops. Programs that develop community leadership and support emergent leaders to help build resilience in communities. Mr Morris said the Fire Ready Communities parent program had funded numerous innovative local community projects over the past two years, programs which would continue
to be funded under the Resilient Community program. “For example, the shire received $26,785 for a variable fire information message trailer,” Mr Morris said. Grant applications can be sent to the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation. Details: www.rdv.vic.gov.au/ community-programs/resilientcommunity-program.

Should We Fear God?
“Fear God & Keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil”. (Eccl 11:13+14 Bible). What is the fear of God? Does that mean He just lives to punish all us sinners? NO NO NO, in fact the opposite. It’s by having a healthy reverence & fear of God that we come into receiving from Him all that we need & desperately want in our lives. Love, Joy, peace, freedom, forgiveness, healing & strength. In fact life itself....to it’s fullest experience & satisfaction. God is doing His outmost to lead us & offer us the right advice & direction. It’s us who are self centred, deceitful & untrue & ungodly in our ways....Then we have the nerve to blame God for the outcome & consequences of our ways, attitudes & wrong decisions. God want’s to free us from our own driving destructive force within us & the very nature of mankind. He knows that if we live to please ourselves & not take notice & obey His commandments & advice to us, then we will destroy ourselves in this life & also pay the very dear price in the life to come. God sent His son Jesus into the world to pay the price for us & through His sacrifice we are offered freedom, atonement & pardon. However we need to believe & receive that free gift of God’s forgiveness & salvation. We need to acknowledge our sins & change our ways to please & serve Him in obedience to what He knows is right for us. Namely, love one another, as this covers all God’s commandments. And most of all, love Him! His great loving heart toward us offers us a way that is right, & the benefits are for eternity.God is just, fair & holy. He requires us to be also. Isn’t it time? Come to God!

ELECTION 2013
Promises for Dunkley By Mike Hast FEDERAL MP Bruce Billson has promised more than $4 million for Dunkley electorate if the Coalition wins government on 7 September. The sitting Liberal MP, first elected in 1996, is fighting to hold off his ALP rival Sonya Kilkenny and has a margin of just 1.1 per cent following his win at the 2010 election after a recount. Ms Kilkenny said Dunkley had had 17 years of Mr Billson and it was “time for a change”. “Labor has a history of investing in Dunkley,” she told The News. “We’ve put $13.5 million into the aquatic centre currently under construction, $8 million of federal funding for Frankston Hospital, and the Better
School program will provide an average of $1.6 million for every school over six years.” Ms Kilkenny, a corporate lawyer who lives in Seaford with her young son and husband Judd Kilkenny, said there would be additional funds for schools. “For example, Langwarrin Park Primary School will get $3 million over six years.” Ms Kilkenny said the government had made “significant investments in education and health” and the $1 billion jobs plan announced at the end of June would boost work opportunities and manufacturing in Dunkley. The plan could generate as much as $6.4 billion each year in new work and jobs for Australian manufacturing.
Support for schools, health SONYA Kilkenny said Dunkley would benefit from money for schools, DisabilityCare and expanded health services if the government was re-elected. Ms Kilkenny said the rollout of DisabilityCare meant that about 2900 people with a disability in the electorate would “receive the support they need to lead a full life”. She said the National Broadband Network was being installed in Karingal and parts of Langwarrin and Frankston South. She said that since 2007 the federal Labor government had invested $8 million in Frankston Hospital including the redevelopment of the emergency department and elective surgery ward. “The Liberals have pledged to cut the Medicare Locals program, which will see 40 health workers lose their jobs at the Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local,” Ms Kilkenny said.
Mr Billson’s most recent promise was $650,000 for Peninsula Health to “expand and enhance” the oncology day treatment centre at Frankston Hospital. He said the operation of the hospital was the responsibility of Peninsula Health and the state government, but the Coalition’s promise would benefit patients and staff. He said the oncology day treatment centre was “extremely cramped and doesn’t adequately meet the needs of patients” or staff. “This capital funding contribution will help nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, oncologists, haematologists and registrars … deliver highquality cancer services,” he said.
Libs promise $4.36 million BRUCE Billson has promised more than $4.36 million for his electorate if the Coalition wins government. They include: $1.25 million for the redevelopment of Frankston foreshore. $800,000 to build a youth hub in Mornington. $759,000 to continue the rollout of the Dunkley Community Safety Plan. $650,000 for oncology treatment at Frankston Hospital. $225,000 for a new community hub in Langwarrin. $200,000 toward the $3 million Frankston Park function centre project. $200,000 to resurface Ballam Park athletics track. $175,000 for tourist directional and location signs on Peninsula Link freeway. $100,000 for a new Frankston war memorial. Uncosted promises include four Green Army teams to clean up Kananook Creek and undertake weed and fuel reduction in Mt Eliza, Frankston and Langwarrin bushland reserves; and support conservation work at Seaford-Edithvale Wetlands, and reopening the aged and carer counter at Frankston Centrelink.
Candidate faces vandals LIBERAL Party candidate Bruce Billson has been defaced. Vandals have attacked many of his billboards, ripping his photo and wasting time for volunteers who would rather be out campaigning on their candidate’s behalf. Mr Billson has held Dunkley since 1996 and is being challenged by eight candidates: Sonya Kilkenny, Australian Labor Party; Simon Tiller, Australian Greens; Kate Ryder, Palmer United Party; Cameron Eastman, Family First; Yvonne Gentle, Rise Up Australia party; Eloise Palmi, Sex Party; and
independents Rod Burt and Roy Broff. Mr Billson put the vandalism down to what candidates face when campaigning in a marginal seat. He held Dunkley at the 2010 election with a one per cent majority. “I have no idea who is doing the vandalism, but clearly they are not members of my team,” he said. “The campaign is going well and the feedback is good on the street for not only our national plan but also because I’m the only candidate with a positive local plan.” Keith Platt

Free plug delivers power to people By Chris Brennan THE peninsula’s scooter brigade is on the charge – literally – thanks to an innovative scheme set to deliver power to the people. Mornington Peninsula businesses and organisations have been invited to sign on to a battery recharge scheme under which they will provide free access to electricity outlets to enable mobility scooter users to recharge their vehicles while out and about. Twelve locations have already been established across the peninsula under the shire council’s Scooter Recharge Scheme including at shopping centres, libraries, community centres and health care providers. The mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, launched the scheme last week and said the high proportion of elderly people on the peninsula meant there was a heavy reliance on mobility devices. “Unfortunately the downfall of these wonderful devices are the batteries only last a few hours and can be very problematic for users when they are out in the community for any length
Power: Lisa Dixon of Western Port Chamber of Commerce, left, Cr Lynn Bowden and disability advocate Gordon Trott test a recharge point at the shire’s Rosebud office.
of time. By inviting businesses and organisations to provide a power point for people to recharge the batteries of their scooter we are ensuring people who use such devices can travel without fear of being stranded by a flat battery.� She said it was vital the shire planned for the needs of an ageing population, with estimates suggesting 17 per cent of peninsula residents – or more than 34,000 people – would be aged over 70 by 2021. “Devices such as scooters or wheelchairs allow people with restricted mobility to be able to move more freely within our community, improving the overall quality of life of people in the local community. “The aim of the Scooter Recharge Scheme is to maximise the opportu-
nities so all people of all abilities can participate as equal citizens within our community. Having accessible recharge locations throughout the shire enables people to travel for longer and be more active in the community.� Current participants in the scheme are: Bentons Square Community Centre, Hastings Library, Mornington Library, Pelican Park Recreation Centre, Seawinds Community Hub, Somerville Recreation and Community Centre, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Rosebud office, Peninsula Health’s Hastings Community Health, Peninsula Health’s Rosebud Community Health, Peninsula Health’s Rosebud Hospital, Rosebud Plaza shopping centre and Western Port Visitor Information Centre.

Dog beach ban, signs to come By Mike Hast NEW dog walking restrictions in Mornington Peninsula National Park were introduced on Sunday 1 September but Parks Victoria had not erected any new signs two days before. Parks Victoria agreed to ban dogs from certain parts of peninsula back beaches in early June after years of lobbying by conservationists and bird groups such as BirdLife Australia. Last summer, just nine endangered hooded plovers survived the breeding season on the national park’s beaches, the highest for some years but a small percentage of total eggs hatched. Parks Victoria figures revealed 113 eggs laid, 19 chicks hatch and 9 reach fledgling (flying) stage. Just three survived the previous season, which is when calls to ban dogs from plover nesting beaches reached a crescendo. There are 32 fauna species listed as endangered, vulnerable or near threatened living in Mornington Peninsula National Park. According to Friends of the Hooded Plover, a failure rate of 98 per cent is not unusual on park beaches. Friends president Diane Lewis said a total ban on dogs was necessary to ensure the protection of the birds. “The state government has recognised that for the past 20 years, dogs are a main threat to the survival of the hooded plover and other rare fauna on the Mornington Peninsula, so a total dog ban is vital,” she said. “Despite our concerted conservation and awareness raising efforts on the peninsula, we know that off-leash dogs are still limiting the plover’s ability to breed in the national park. “Residents and visitors continue to walk their dogs off-leash in the park during all hours of the day despite restrictions. “Dogs are a huge threat to the birds. We

Mornington News 3 September 2013
have observed 78.9 per cent of dogs off-leash within the park. Plover defender Malcolm Brown said dogwalkers should be asked to justify why dogs should be allowed on plover beaches rather than conservationists being asked why not. Grainne Maguire of BirdLife Australia said statistics showed that 40 per cent of hooded plover pairs in dog-free areas produced chicks successfully, compared to 16 per cent of pairs in dog access areas in the park. “This has been the pattern historically and we desperately need to change this,” Dr Maguire said. The peninsula was the most important site for the threatened hooded plover with about 550 birds in all Victoria. It had a substantial dune system, which provided an excellent breeding habitat. “The peninsula’s national park has the lowest breeding success rate of any area in southern Australia. Less than seven per cent of eggs survive to become chicks of flying age. Plovers start hatching around Melbourne Cup weekend and the last chicks fledge in late March. Parks Victoria ranger-in-charge Kris Rowe said the changes had been made following public consultation and were “an important step in helping to protect the endangered hooded plover and other vulnerable species and their breeding habitats”. Very few national parks in Victoria allow dogs. They are permitted in the peninsula’s national park due to a historical anomaly. The area was controlled by the old Shire of Flinders before being declared a national park in 1988 but dog walking continued to be permitted. Point Nepean National Park was renamed Mornington Peninsula National Park in 1995. Parks Victoria says new restrictions apply in areas of the park adjacent to rural areas and/or
areas with minimal public access to beaches. The areas include London Bridge to Sorrento Ocean Beach (excluding the Portsea Surf Beach visitor site), a section of Rye Ocean Beach, a section of St Andrews Beach, Gunnamatta and part of the Flinders coastline. Mr Rowe said the hooded plover population in the park was one of the largest in Victoria but had “a lower level of breeding success compared to those in other Victorian coastal areas and is quite vulnerable to the presence of dogs”. “We will be installing new signs and advertising the new restrictions to maximise awareness among the community and help everyone understand the changes, which include: Dogs are prohibited at all times in an additional seven kilometres of coastline between Portsea and Flinders. Dog walking will continue to be permitted on-lead between sunrise and 9am only, in selected and sign-posted sections of the national park including: 14km of coast between Sorrento and Rye and additional defined areas at: Portsea Surf Beach. St Andrews Beach. Flinders Ocean Beach. “Alternative areas for dog walking on the southern peninsula include Port Phillip beaches and public reserves managed by the Mornington Peninsula Shire.” Mr Rowe said penalties for non-compliance would be enforced.

Planning changes are forever OPINION By Ranald Macdonald and David Gill IT appears there has been either a classic administrative stuff-up or a ministerial backflip in mid-air. The Victorian Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure late last month released the approved rural zones on its website, the last zones to be considered in the government’s zone reform program. The minister’s press statement was headed ‘‘Green Wedges to thrive from Planning Reform’’ yet the release seemed to confirm fears about the future of green wedge protection, following on from the government’s decision to seek private investment and award 99-year leases in national parks. The approved green wedge zone dismantled the framework of controls and requirements relating to major tourism development that had been established in 2002, and which responded to the ever-increasing pressures arising from metropolitan growth. For decades after 1968, all Victorian political parties agreed that a proper mix of country and city, urban and suburban, was in the best interests of the community. But increasingly a view has been presented that green areas need to ‘‘pay their way’’ – not just through supporting agriculture, recreation and conservation of the environment but by being available for a range of commercial and quasi-commercial uses including restaurants, group accommodation, residential hotels and function centres and, more recently, proposals for schools, medical centres and service stations. Of course the minister, Matthew Guy, would argue that changes enabling consideration of a wide range of uses simply enables councils to consider applications on their merits. Except this is a recipe for speculative
applications, loophole hunting at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and so the gradual undermining of the green wedges. The principle that green wedge areas need to be carefully protected is not best served by a one-at-a-time consideration of applications – therefore the announced changes to the green wedge zone left many people in doubt about the future. And then something happened. A day later, the department website said there had been a publishing error. This was no ordinary publishing error, rather an entirely different green wedge zone appears to have been approved, retaining the majority of the existing control framework and, in fact, adding an additional prohibition on freeway service centres. That, as they say, is the good news. The bad is the fate of the other rural zones, and particularly the farming zone and rural conservation zones. These, unfortunately, do not appear to have been improved by any overnight reassessment. In these zones the previous requirement that tourism development should occur in conjunction with either agricultural use or rural industry has been removed. This invites the question: how will farming compete against myriad other uses and, more insidiously, is farming just a transient use waiting for a better offer? The two of us wrote about our concerns a year ago (“Planning changes will be ‘disastrous’,” The News, 18/9/12, also published in The Age), which included threats to our national parks and recreation reserves. We were rubbished by the planning minister. But at least it forced Mr Guy to respond. In an article (‘‘Vocal minority peddling porkies on planning zone changes’’, The Age, 27/9/12), he suggested he was following in the footsteps
z Used caravan sales z Caravan service & repairs - Insurance repair specialist - All mechanical repairs z Caravan parts & accessories
of former Liberal premier Dick Hamer and planning minister Alan Hunt, architects of our green wedges. Do not worry, he said, the government is acting in your best interests. Matthew Guy is a shrewd politician. He recognises that the way to ensure he achieves his objectives is to first say that Armageddon is the only way. The pressure to accommodate the huge population increase requires him to totally overhaul planning, whatever the consequences. Also, he warned that our tourism is not sufficiently developed to be competitive. Then he pulls back from his apocalyptic planning scenario, and wants to leave us saying that the changes he has instituted in the green wedges are not as bad as they might have been. But meanwhile, the reformed rural conservation and farming zones are apparently ‘‘open for business’’. Given the minister has recently said it is ‘‘very important to protect our best quality farmland’’, this is a period of very mixed messages. Changes to Victoria’s planning strategy will impact on our lives forever and, as now being forced on us, are likely to be to the detriment of all but a selected few. Civil libertarian James Bovard once said: ‘‘Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.’’ In this case it appears the wolves have decided that, this time, swallowing the green wedges might cause a little too much indigestion – but that other rural areas are fair game. Ranald Macdonald is a member of Flinders Community Association and a former managing director of The Age. David Gill is a former Shire of Mornington mayor, a member of the Westernport Regional Planning Authority and chairman of planning for the shire.

Students’ lives inspire play STUDENTS lives and experiences provided the raw material for the dialogue in a play about two brothers who spend a day sorting through rubbish left outside houses in their street. Workshops with about 50 students from Western Port and Dromana secondary colleges gave producer and actor Dave Houston his narrative for Hard Rubbish Day. The workshop ended with the students performing on stage at Western Port, while the finished product will be presented next Wednesday at Cube 37 in Frankston. Sifting through the unwanted bits and pieces of lives lived behind closed doors was grist for the mill for two brothers. They barely survived a party that went viral on social media but their house was not so fortunate, bringing wide media coverage and not-so-welcome fame. Hard Rubbish Day covers mental health, suicide, selfharm, eating disorders and social media. “There was quite a lot of laughter and a fair amount of tears. When we performed the play, it made us proud of each other and brought us even closer together. The younger students realised that they were not alone,” said Western Port year 11 student Megan Sutherland, who played in the colleges’ version of Hard Rubbish Day. “The final version of the play came from situations that the students had experienced. “We thought it was a chance to get our parents to understand how we feel and see things without having to talk to them individually and feel out of place. It’s one thing hearing about a situation but I think it had more of an effect seeing it on stage.” Student wellbeing coordinator Tim Ward said the program and performance helped students feel better about themselves “and promoted better ways to deal with the complex issues that are affecting them”. “Students selected were those who had faced some difficult situations and environments and, I think, the play reflected this.” Hard Rubbish Day, 11am and 6pm on Wednesday 11 September at Cube 37, Davey St, Frankston.

New ‘air’ system for art gallery MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery in Civic Reserve, Mornington, will be closed from September till mid-December for an upgrade of its air-conditioning system at a cost of $400,000. A Mornington Peninsula Shire spokeswoman said the upgraded system would “ensure the gallery meets international standards for temperature, humidity and particle filtration, and enable the gallery to continue to borrow major works and secure significant touring exhibitions”. “The gallery will not present exhibitions during the upgrade period, and its popular public and education programs will operate from alternative venues. “The gallery team will remain at the gallery and can be contacted during normal business hours.” About 48,000 people visited the gallery for the month-long Archibald Prize finalists exhibition, which closed in early July. The gallery and associated service providers made income of $750,000 including shop and cafe operations.

Why no rail lines?
Ashes aficionado write on time with Hastings visit WELL-known cricket writer Ken Piesse will visit Hastings this weekend to share his love of the “gentleman’s game” and discus his latest book, Great Ashes Moments. Having just returned home from observing Australia’s ill-fated Ashes test series in England, Piesse will visit
Hastings library to talk about his love of writing and sport. Piesse is an Australian sports storyteller and President of the Australian Cricket Society. He has written and edited 67 books, mostly about cricket and Australian Rules Football. Great Ashes Moments chronicles “the
best catches, the biggest hits, the most famous boo-boos, quotes, laughs, nicknames, occupations and let-offs” and covers everything from Don Bradman’s mighty 254 at Lord’s to the home-town hat-trick from spin king Shane Warne. The foreward to the book is provided

After 17 years, it’s time for Bruce Billson to go. The last time Billson updated his website “Our Dunkley Issues” was nearly two years ago and his “Small Business” tab is completely empty. Recently he pledged $650,000 for health. Given the massive cuts to health by his State counterparts over the last year, this is offensive. Frankston hospital has been in desperate need of funding for years. It has the worst wait times in Victoria, with ambulances ramping and patients lined up on trolleys in the wait room. And all while Billson has been our local member. As Shadow Minister for Small Business where is the funding announcement for Dunkley’s businesses? It’s laughable and our local businesses shouldn’t accept this. I say give half of the $1.25m he’s put up for the Frankston Foreshore to our local Dunkley businesses. As for the additional $759,000 for CCTV camera upgrades, does anyone actually monitor these or is the footage only recorded? Also the $800,000 in funding for the youth hub could have changed lives if provided earlier and not just because there is an election. After 17 years, where is Dunkley’s strategic document detailing a future plan for Dunkley? And Billson’s big announcement to change the existing freeway signs is a further insult to Dunkley voters. Is that really the best he has to offer after 17 years? And his claim that he supported the Peninsula Link is just plain wrong. There is an alternative - Sonya Kilkenny, Labor’s candidate in Dunkley. On local issues Sonya, has big plans and ideas for Dunkley, its people and businesses and yes, I could download and read about her vision. Dunkley needs someone like Sonya to bring new ideas and energy. I believe Sonya ZLOO À JKW IRU HYHU\RQH LQ 'XQNOH\ :H QHHG D FKDQJH DIWHU ORQJ \HDUV DQG from what I’ve seen Sonya has more than what it takes. Look at her website www.sonyakilkenny.net.au Very concerned resident. Authorised by Brendan Renkin, No.49, Fifth Avenue, Anglesea 3230.

I AM writing to express concern about the lack of rail on the western side of the Mornington Peninsula. When will Mornington get a metro rail service? The town had a station and a line but it was closed and is now just a tourist railway. There is nothing south of Frankston to service the almost continuous suburbia all the way to Portsea but no rail service. The eastern side is well served by a train between Frankston and Stony Point. The state government has poured money into freeways but has not extended the rail service. We should not have to drive to Frankston to catch a train. I have written to state and federal members for the Mornington area but no reply yet. I see the federal Coalition will spend a lot on other things in Dunkley if they are elected but nothing about extending the metro rail service. Labor has done nothing about it and the state government does not seem to care. On another matter, I would like to know when we will be allowed to have a democratic vote on daylight saving. State governments, especially in Victoria and NSW, are dictating to the people the daylight saving program and not bothering to ask the general public their views on the matter. It has been decades since a referendum was run on this and surely it must be time for another one? Attitudes and circumstances change over time but the state government does not seem to want to know about it. We want a fair democratic government, not a dictatorship ignoring the people.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Frankston choral concert a blast, new British arrivals to bring labour Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 September 1913. THE concert given by the Frankston Choral Society in the Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening proved most successful. In spite of the fact that the weather was anything but propitious, there was a very fair attendance, and everything passed off without a hitch. The orchestra, recently organised in connection with the Society, was heard for the first time in two selections, and considering the very limited time the members had had for practice, they acquitted themselves very creditably, and their playing was very favorably commented upon. The concerted items by the Choral Society, under Mr Walter Jennings, were greatly appreciated, and on all sides could be heard complimentary remarks on the finished way in which every item was rendered. Their conductor, Mr Jennings, is sparing neither time nor pains in tutoring the members, and the improvement shown by them must be very gratifying to him as well as to all Frankston residents. Miss Amy Davey, a pupil of Mr Jennings, pleased with her rendering of “The Moorish Maid,” and for her second item, “ Beloved Sleep,” she received a well-deserved encore. She, with Mr Jennings, also rendered two duets, and in both cases encores were demanded. Though suffering from the effects of a severe cold, Mr Jennings was heard to advantage in his two items, and in each instance encores were demanded. Perhaps the most vociferous applause was that which greeted Miss Gregory
at the conclusion of her song, “If I built a world for you.” This young lady was in splendid voice, and an encore was enthusiastically demanded. “Old Mother Hubbard,” by the Choral Society, was a catchy item which greatly pleased the audience, and the members had to repeat their performance as an encore. The president of the society, Dr Maxwell, acted as chairman. The following programme was gone through:Overture, orchestra; Part song, “Hail, Smiling Morn,” Choral Society; Song, “ For you alone,” Mr Jennings (encored); Song, “The Moorish Maid,” Miss Amy Davey; Part song, “Stars of Summer Night” Choral Society; duet, “In Spring-time,” Mr Jennings and Miss Davey (encored); chorus, “Softly fall the shades of Evening,” Choral Society; selection “Rose Blushes,” orchestra; song, “Love is waiting,” Mr Jennings (encored); song, “ Beloved Sleep,” Miss Davey (encored); song, “If I built a world for you,” Miss Gregory (encored); part song, “Old Mother Hubbard,” Choral Society (encored); duet, “Venetian Song,” Miss Davey and Mr Jennings (encored); Part song, “Good-night Beloved,” Choral Society. *** DURING the ensuing fortnight parties of men and lads for farm work are arriving from Great Britian, consisting principally of about 200 British Lads and 60 Farm Laborers and their Families. All these Lads, Men, and Families, are coming out to this country purposely to take up farm work, and the Government is desirous of having them placed on farms with the least possible delay. Generally speaking, the lads have
not much knowledge of farm work, but past experience has proved that they are very willing and ready to adapt themselves to the requirement of their new conditions. The services of these lads are available at rates ranging from 10s per week and keep upwards according to age and experience, and it is hoped that farmers requiring their services will lose no time in notifying the Bureau of their requirements. Others amongst those coming forward are farm laborers, experienced and inexperienced, who should be easily placed at wages of 15s to 25s per week. Married couples will also be arriving, who are desirous of at once proceeding to country employment. Numerous letters have been received from employers of previous new arrivals, expressing satisfaction with their services, and there is no doubt that the introduction of these new people will assist in building up and maintaining an effective supply of farm labor for the whole of the State. A good class of employee will arrive by the next three boats, and will offer a good opportunity to farmers who desire to secure labor for the approaching dairying and harvesting seasons. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. held their usual monthly sale in the Municipal Yards on Monday last, when there was a full yarding of cattle of all descriptions. There was a good demand and satisfactory prices for all classes:Fat cows to £8; milkers to £6 12s 6d; springer to £6; springing heifers to £6 2s 6d; backward cows to £5; fat sheep
to 23s 6d; fat lambs to 14s 1d; a line of weaners at 13s 8d. Pigs in great demand at high prices, as follows:- Baconers to 67s; medium to 50s; porkers to 44s; clips to 24s; suckers 15s; extra 19s 6d, the latter price being obtained for a line under six weeks old, sold on account Mr G. Walker, of Green Island. *** DR Griffith announces in another column that he may be consulted at Bittern, at his residence, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. *** BY advertisement in this issue Mr Des Wells notifies that he is prepared to visit all parts of the Peninsula to sweep chimneys, &c. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will conduct their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next. *** NURSE Crawford, who for several years was proprietress of “St. Pancras” private hospital, has taken “Osborne House,” where she intends establishing a Nursing and Convalescent Home. *** THE Lord Chief Justice, speaking at a public meeting at Hammersmith Town Hall, said the excessive expenditure on drink in the United Kingdom was appalling. From his 40 years’ legal experience he could say that 90 per cent of the crime committed in this country could be traced to overindulgence in drink. *** A EUCHRE party and dance was held on Thursday, 21st, in aid of the new hall and it was a great success, 84 players from all parts fighting a
battle for the valuable prize, which was donated by Mr G. S. Edwards. The ladies’ first prize, a gold cable bangle, was won by Miss M. Hazledine; second, a gold pendant, by Miss McKeown, and Miss Hill the booby, a silver bracelet. Mr Lookin won the gents’ prize, a £1 1s safety razor; Mr McNamara second, and Mr Counsel the booby. *** MR Morgan, of Sorrento, has started a saddlery and boot making business here in Mr Evans’ shop opposite the pier, and the public hope that Mr Morgan will succeed, as it is a long time since there was a good saddler and boot repairer here. *** A GOLF tournament was played on the Dromana links or Thursday, 28th ult., for a trophy donated by the president, Dr Weld. Unfortunately, it rained in the forenoon, which made the course very sloppy. The ladies’ trophy was. won by Miss Singleton, handicap 18, 52; Miss McKeown, handicap 18, 54; 2nd; Mrs Weld, handicap 10, 65, and Miss Talbot, scratch, 65, 3rd. The gents’ prize was won by Master T. Singleton, handicap 30, 87; Mr Christie, handicap 18, 91, 2nd; W. Evans, scratch, 92, 3rd. The club now has about 40 members, and it is the intention of the committee to have a big tournament about New Year, as under the new secretary they are leaving no stone unturned in having the greens and course in capital order. They have already made big improvements. The leading players are anxious to hear a “crack” at some of the Peninsula clubs, and the secretary will be pleased to accept a challenge.

Restaurateur Ravish welcomes you to Yaringa By Haydn Godony JUST beyond the eastern end of Bungower Rd in Somerville, Yaringa Marina Restaurant is a favourite waterfront eatery for boaties. It is also likely to be a culinary treat for anyone harbouring gourmet desires. Now three years into proprietorship, manager Ravish Tomar and head chef Vikram Dhankar have made the best of the location and their business partnership to build a loyal following. The restaurant this year scored Dimmi awards for best views and top-rated seafood. “We have tuned the menu, our matched wine list and our ‘special’ nights to suit the venue and the region,” Ravish said. “We regularly offer something new but essentially we are modern Australian styled with char-grilled steaks and seafood.” “People love the quality of our food, the consistency and the beautiful view too,” he said. “We also occasionally get seals visiting our doorstep.” Coffin Bay oysters are house-shucked and served natural or tempura, the crisp batter is laced with Schezwan spices, melding Chinese flavours with Japanese method. “The batter is very light and leaves the freshness of the oysters still intact after they are briefly deep-fried in cottonseed oil,” Ravish said. A bed of rock-salt, a sprig of mesclun and a slice of lemon complete the plate.
The seared scallops can be ordered ‘roe on’ if desired and are briefly panned prior to crowning fluffy garlic potato mash, then finished with orange hued caviar and seaweed salad. “Our diners go crazy over them,” said Ravish. The most popular steak is the 300 gram, Portland-sourced eye fillet. The yearling beef is grain-fed for 90 days and served on creamy mash, dashed with rosemary. A side bowl offers choice broccoli, cauliflower and carrot, pan tossed with garlic and seasoning. Sauces include mushroom, red wine, garlic and peppercorn. A pre-lunch or pre-dinner drink can be enjoyed taking in the views from the balcony. Yaringa Marina Restaurant is at 1 Lumeah Rd, Somerville. Details: 5977 3735 or yaringarestaurant.com.au

The story of an ill-gotten gain By Stuart McCullough IT arrived without warning. Flushed with excitement, I immediately opened the email, eager to read its contents. Little did I realize that I was opening not so much an email as an absolute Pandora’s worm. It began with a simple if not traditional greeting of ‘hello Stuart’ before taking me to task for a sizeable violation of the English language. Had I accidently reverted to my native Esperanto without realizing? Relied too heavily on facial expressions? Apparently not. My crime was far greater than any of these. I had, it seems, used the word ‘gotten’ in an article. The email was as simple as it was devastating. It said that ‘gotten’ appears in neither the Oxford nor Webster dictionaries. It then informed me that ‘gotten’ is an American term, the past participle of the term ‘get’. It was at this point that I noted the almost complete absence of anything in the email resembling grammar. Under those heightened circumstances, it seemed a touch harsh of my correspondent to want to castigate me for using the word ‘gotten’ whilst simultaneously forsaking anything resembling a proper sentence. I contemplated correcting the errors and returning the email, but averred for fear it might seem confrontational. Clearly, my correspondent was on a mission. I would need to apologise, forthwith. I could start by telling him that I don’t know what possessed me. I’d say ‘I don’t know what had gotten
Nothing better to do with their time: Noah Webster, founder of the Webster Dictionary, after receiving a letter from a reader who took exception at the inclusion of the word ‘gotten’ in his first edition.
into me’ but that might prompt a further email. The missive concluded with the entreaty, ‘We are Australians not Yanks so forget the word Gotten… Aussie language only please.’ Once heard, it’s difficult to forget a word like ‘gotten’, but I’ll do my best. So in response to that heartfelt appeal to avoid culturally inappropriate terms and stick to the Australian vernacular, allow me to declare that
I will absolutely, categorically, fo’ shizzle, do my upmost from this moment on. That said, I must admit to being curious as to the claim that the term ‘gotten’ is notable for its absence from both the Oxford and Webster Dictionaries. I am mindful, too, that the Webster dictionary is, in fact, quintessentially American, having first been published either by
Emmanuel Lewis during the 1984 production break of the sitcom ‘Webster’ or by Noah Webster in the early nineteenth Century. Either way, the Webster dictionary is absolutely, 100% American. Not that Noah Webster didn’t have his own critics to contend with. In 1806, Webster published ‘A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language’. It’s a great pity that all dictionaries do not have a title as plainly superb as Webster’s first effort. But instead of universal acclaim, he was severely criticized by some. Whether this was for including or omitting the term ‘gotten’ is no longer known. I doubt, however, it was by email. He upped the ante a few decades later with a two-volume version that was denounced as radical and saw some openly question the sanity of the author. All the same, his suggested spellings for words such as ‘center’ and ‘color’ have continued to this day, even if his proposals for ‘wimmen’ and ‘groop’ never got off the ground. Perhaps it’s just as well. As for the Oxford dictionary, with the possible exception of HP Sauce and The Beatles, it’s hard to think of anything more English. I do, however, have an Oxford dictionary and after receiving the email, immediately set about seeing if the rumours were true. Bless its gotten socks, the term ‘gotten’ does, in fact, appear in the Oxford dictionary, albeit it fleetingly. Under the term ‘gotten’ it simply reads, ‘see GET’. Presumably the ‘LOST’ is silent. Flipping back a few pages I discover under ‘get’ that it is,
indeed, an American variant. But what of it? I don’t mean to quibble, but despite what my correspondent may think, ‘Aussie’ is not actually a language. Not that it’s a bad idea. In fact, were it up to me I’d like to see English abolished as our primary language in favour of something that’s entirely homegrown. Forget becoming a Republic – the true path to independence comes by having your own language. If those folks at Star Trek can invent ‘Klingon’, surely it’s not beyond us? Imagine it. Just as Eskimos are said to have more than fifty words for ‘snow’, ‘Aussie’ could take the same approach to ‘beer’. Finally, someone would be able to accurately translate the lyrics of ‘Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi’. The possibilities are endless… It’s always nice to receive correspondence, but I’m not sure quite how to take a demand to only use ‘Aussie’. Part of me is tempted to placate the various sheilas, blokes and drongos who feel so strongly about it, whilst the rest of me is quite comfortable stealing language from where I please. Frankly, I never meant to generate this level of conflict. I simply can’t believe the mess that I’ve gotten getted gettended myself into. It seems I have little choice – the time has finally come to abandon English altogether and to go ‘full time’ with Esperanto. Or Klingon. Or maybe I shouldn’t worry so much and just relax. It is, after all, much ado about nothing. Or, as they say in Klingon, paghmo’ tIn mIS. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
Performance GLENN Shorrock was the Little River’s band’s lead vocalist and, arguably, most interesting songwriter, for seven years. Before LRB he had been part of two of Australia’s most popular bands of the sixties, Twilights and Axiom. His first solo venture was Bobby Darin’s Dream Lover in 1979 which became his first Top 10 solo hit. Glenn Shorrock’s career spans almost half a century and his stint with Little River Band saw over 25 million albums sold. Aztec Records has released a new CD Glenn Shorrock: 45 Years of Song. This special 2CD 29-track set, recorded at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre in July 2010, sees him power through a smorgasbord of hits from his previous bands and solo career, including Help Is On Its Way, Reminiscing, Lonesome Loser, Meanwhile, Little Ray Of Sunshine, Days On The Road and many more. Glenn Shorrock: 45 Years of Song is a two-hour concert with full band (strings, brass, three guitars, keyboards, bass, drums and backup singers), expertly digitally mastered by Gil Matthews with a handsome digipak package and an informative 24-page booklet written by noted Australian rock writer Ian McFarlane. Another document of classic Australian music on the Aztec label, and a must for Shorrock fans. Available at all good record stores. www.aztecrecords.com.au *** JAYDEN Davies is 17 and has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma which is a form of bone cancer. Tumours form on his bones and as they grow they destroy the bone and cause enormous pain. He is undergoing treatment to shrink these tumours and to manage his pain, but since he has numerous tumours the doctors cannot guarantee he will beat this insidious disease. A fundraiser is being held for Jayden to give his family some financial support. They can then concentrate on spending time with Jayden whilst he fights for his life.
The fundraiser will be held at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington on Wednesday 11 September, 6.30-10.30pm. Cost is $50 per person which includes a 2 course dinner. Items will be auctioned on the night and tickets are available www.trybooking.com/60856 or for more information contact including donations contact Michelle Roberts 0478 082 646. Check Facebook: facebook.com/jaydendaviessupport *** RONNIE Burn’s 1967 hit Coalman was written by the Bee Gees who also provided backing vocals. At first Ronnie was reluctant to hear any of their compositions but was persuaded by his producer Nat Kipner to listen to some of their material. He followed it up with another Bee Gee composition,
Exit Stage Right. Barry McGuire’s 1965 hit Eve of Destruction was originally meant to be a B-side. It was recorded about 4am when McGuire’s voice was raw and husky after recording several other songs. He was meant to re-record the vocals but an over eager record executive thought it sounded great the way it was. Despite being banned in several US states, it became a million seller. It made No.2 on the Melbourne charts and stayed in the charts for 14 weeks. The Elvis Presley song Edge of Reality (1969) was the B-side to If I Can Dream. Edge of Reality became a hit in Australia but was ignored in the USA and UK where If I Can Dream became the chart hit.
will pay tribute to one of its pioneers, Australian icon and country music legend, Slim Dusty. Just a few months on from the 10th anniversary of the passing of the King of Australian Country Music, the festival will celebrate Slim’s contribution to Australian country music and culture through a number of special events. The 2014 festival will pay tribute to Slim in a number of ways including the unveiling of a bronze statue of country music’s first couple, Slim and his wife Joy McKean in a prominent location in the CBD. The statue recognises the huge contribution Slim Dusty and Joy McKean have made to Australia’s musical heritage and the integral role they played in helping to establish Tamworth as the Country Music Capital. Other special activities planned during the Festival include an exhibition of Slim Dusty’s personal memorabilia, footage and photos at Festival Headquarters and a special concert in his honour. The 2014 Tamworth Country Music Festival will be held from Friday 17 to Sunday 26 January. www.slimdusty.com.au

A Grain of Salt WHILE the federal election and football have been imprisoning the headlines Doctor Den and his planning cohorts talk of “nature-based” tourism development in our national parks calling for potential developers to come forward. 99 year leases (read forever) will certainly lure those “potential” developers out of the woodwork, if indeed it hasn’t already been discussed at length in the darkened backrooms of the power clique, including my mates at the Institute of Public Affairs. Do they have senior ASIO executives as IPA members? “Boys and boys come out to play, happy and well the laxette way”. If it wasn’t so serious it would be funny. Never forgetting Mr Smoothie (Matty Guy) and his backflip on the re-zoning of farmland to residential; 24-hectare property at Ventnor overlooking Western Port Bay and secret millions in compensation. Social commentator Hugh Mackay would say “forgive generously”. Like fun. *** AS a Collingwood supporter I’m obliged to hate Essendon but really I think it’s tragic they have been deprived of playing in this year’s final series which they thoroughly earned by finishing in the top eight. No problem with Hird’s punishment, loss of draft picks and a fine but surely those 2012 jabs should not be connected with the team’s 2013 performance, not to men-
PAGE 42
tion the loss to all those loyal Essendon supporters, who I may well hate but know full well are no different to Collingwood supporters? *** THE Herald Sun’s hypocritical editorial reads “the truth must come out”. It rarely does but it has a nice sound to it; likely half truths, misinformation and gossip borne of bias. ASADA are public servants; surely enough said? An intriguing side effect has been the case for the defence coming from Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson (Essendon) and the opposite and forceful point of view from Caroline Wilson from The Age. I would have preferred James Hird cop the blame early with a statement of reasons defending his innocence, do his time and everyone revert to an “as is” situation. I think of the story of the elephant and dragon conflict. The dragon got under the elephant’s belly and sucked his blood so long till the elephant fell down almost dead upon the dragon and killed him; both were ruined. If you have received a wrong, wisely consider it, and compose yourself with the patience to bear it. Honesty is sufficient reward. Yeah yeah. *** LASTLY, the AFL, as always, is aligned with profit.

times for television, making the game quicker (rule changes) again for television, the laughable camera jobs on disputed goals and the ridiculous talk about cutting down the number of players on and off the bench despite the fact none of us care how many times they come on and off. Mark Robinson says (when he takes the odd break from his raves against Andrew Demetriou) “Supporters like to see their stars on the field”. How would he know? Again where’s Mike Sheahan when we need him? The AFL employs 500 people. What do they do? Enough! *** ANOTHER election bites the dust allowing us to move on to the mighty Magpies who sadly won’t last long. [I’m guessing; I write this column before the event]. It will be nice to have a break prior to waking in horror at the broken promises (what promises?), all eventually to be forgotten in three years’ time. We’ve survived before and we shall again. Pauly Keating and little Johnny Howard are but memories. Spending on health (including aged care), education and infrastructure will be temporarily paused, if not cut, in pursuit of a phantom surplus but the good news is there will be no change to the unfair tax breaks for high earners and negative gearing shall remain, so for-
get about buying a house unless it’s an investment property. Get yourself a tax haven or better still whack your profits into your super. Trust Tony? Haha. Very funny. Some of my best friends (wage earners, pensioners, fixed income) vote Liberal. I don’t blame them. I know nothing about woodwork either. Culture is what we need, the serenity after the football finals. Note for Cliffy: Cancel Foxtel Footy after Collingwood’s demise. *** LIVING alone requires continuous effort; shopping, cooking, washing and cleaning. I awake, eat my vita brits and read the newspaper followed by my brisk healthy 100-metre morning walk to the cafe for coffee and read the free Herald Sun front to back in 90 seconds. “And what’s on today, Cliff?” Good question. Where is a good woman when you need one; or better still a bad one? Sadly such things are performance based. A need for inspiration as in filling the gaps with at least a sense of enthusiasm. Crooked, sometimes corrupt politicians state and federal don’t help. We look to sport and we get Essendon and our cricket team? Get rid of Michael Clarke; good batsman bad captain. Remember that comic strip, Sad Sack? Sorry, I strayed; culture. *** “I CAN’T paint or act or write or
By Cliff Ellen dance, I’m not artistic”. Think again. We all have imagination, we simply don’t apply it. We all act every day; we all have dreams; our unique experiences. Try writing; your life, point of view; whatever suits you. Half a dozen painting classes can open the door to yourself, your imagination. A good teacher may unlock the key via inspiration. Those who can and those who can’t means some have found a way to express themselves, through the written, the visual or the oral medium. In making the effort to open the door, as in applying yourself, the results can be staggering or simply satisfying or simply exercising your brain, and all for your own benefit, perhaps even pleasure? Stay clear of woodwork. *** “We are like flies taking the side of the spiders” [Voltaire]. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Sharks are in big one while Stonecats face Eagles PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly BONBEACH moved directly into the Peninsula League Grand Final on Saturday after holding off Frankston YCW in the second semi final. The Stonecats will now will play Edithvale-Aspendale in this weekend’s Preliminary Final after the Eagles belted Mt Eliza in the First Semi at Pines on Sunday. Bonbeach led for the large majority of the afternoon to beat YCW 13.11– 89 to 11.12–78. Frankston YCW led only once in the match, when it held a four-point lead late in the second quarter, before Bonbeach’s Shaun Foster kicked one on the siren to regain the lead at the major interval. As expected, Frankston YCW kept coming at the Sharks all afternoon but on this occasion, Bonbeach was able to respond.
On its two previous occasions this season, Bonbeach has been in the contest, only to be blown away in 15 minutes of footy against YCW. However, on Saturday at Frankston’s Kars St Oval, the Sharks were able to steady and respond. Bonbeach coach Steve Capp said it was great for his side to get into the Grand Final. “At this stage, what we’ve been able to do is earn the right to play in a grand final,” Capp said. “What we need to ensure is that we bring the same intensity, pressure and work rate to the table in two weeks time in the Grand Final. “I thought our concentration over four quarters was really good on Saturday and it was the real reason we won the game. “We’ve had lapses (in concentration) in the past and it’s cost us. We didn’t get that on Saturday”.
Capp said it was great for his group to have the confidence to beat YCW. “We hadn’t beaten Mt Eliza or YCW in the past couple of years and it was just great for the boys to go into a grand final knowing that we have beaten both of them in our past two games,” Capp said. “So, regardless of results, we go into a grand final knowing our best is good enough to win.” Bonbeach started Matty Batten where he finished last week’s game as a forward. Other than that, everything else went as expected. Bonbeach kicked to the Kars St end with the aid of a slight breeze in the opening quarter and squandered some early opportunities (2.6 to 1.2). “I hoped that some easy misses in the first quarter weren’t going to come back and bite us,” Capp said. Those misses didn’t have an effect on the result, the Sharks proving too strong.
Foster finished the afternoon with four goals for the winners while Scott McDonald finished with three. Nathan Robinson and Mark Tyrell, along with Gary Carpenter, were outstanding over four quarters. Anthony Barry led the way for the Stonecats, while Ricky Morris and David Bodley finished with three goals each. In the Sunday game, EdithvaleAspendale controlled proceedings all afternoon to knock over Mt Eliza at Eric Bell Reserve. The Redlegs went into the match without Scott Lockwood and Tim Strickland, both injured, while Dave Willet was dropped from the senior side. Without Lockwood, things were expected to be tough and they proved to be. The Redlegs’ skill level in windy conditions was atrocious, while Edith-
vale managed the conditions a whole lot better. The Eagles led by 24 points at quarter time after kicking with the five goal breeze in the first. At half time the margin was still 22 points and at three quarter time, the Eagles opened-up a 49-point break. The final score was 10.14–74 to 5.7–37. Matt Kremmer kicked three for the Eagles and proved that if he attacks the footy, uses his size and skill to his advantage, that he can have a real influence. Tim Mannix and Troy Ogier were instrumental in the win for the Eagles and Zac Muschialli had a tagging role on Mt Eliza’s Josh Norman and executed it to perfection. For the Redlegs, Karl Lombardozzi, who came into the side, was superb, as was Rohan Heasley and Rob Dyring in attack.

Sorrento grabs victory from the jaws of defeat NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly SORRENTO staged a wonderful fight back in the dying minutes of the Nepean League Preliminary final on Saturday to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat against Rosebud. In a see-sawing battle all afternoon, Sorrento kicked three goals in five minutes to turn a 16 point deficit into an unlikely two point win. In last week’s second semi final against Dromana, the Sharks dominated for 95 per cent of the game, only to get overrun in the final 15 minutes. Sorrento didn’t deserve to lose. On Saturday, the Sharks didn’t deserve to win. However, what the result produced was the Grand Final this Saturday at Frankston Park that everyone wanted to see – Dromana v Sorrento.
Rosebud was unlucky to lose, big time. At the 26-minute mark of the last quarter, the Buds were up by almost three goals. The Buds came into the match with a game plan and executed it to perfection, except for the dying minutes of the match. No-one gave them any hope of winning the game and many were simply hoping for a good contest. There wasn’t a person at the ground who expected Rosebud to boot five of the first six goals in the final quarter and open-up a 16 point break. Greg Bentley, who had a quiet first half, was at his best in the last, Matthew Payne was simply dominating and Paul Lewis and Tom Baker were having an influence in the ruck and around the ground. The Buds were running on top of
the ground, they had the massive crowd right behind them and a big upset looked likely. However, you can never write-off a brilliant team. Tyrren Head, who was unsighted for the majority of the match, bobbedup to kick two of the last three goals of the game and Leigh Poholke sharked a pack to put his side back in front with a minute left. Rosebud took the ball inside their attacking 50 in the last 30 seconds but Sorrento pushed plenty of numbers back and restricted a score. There was no question that Sorrento midfielder Leigh Treeby was the difference between Sorrento winning and losing. While Scott Cameron was outstanding in the ruck, it was the efforts of Treeby, both inside and outside, who singlehandedly won the Sharks the game.
His work rate was unbelievably good, his defensive pressure was outstanding and he went forward and kicked two goals, both game breakers up against the boundary line. Treeby’s influence on the contest, especially when the game looked to be lost, was a stand-out. Rosebud was superb. Matty Payne, Ryan Spooner, Sam Kremich and Tom Baker were outstanding. In fact, Rosebud hardly had a bad player. But as Buds coach Nick Jewell said after the match, “it doesn’t matter if you win on the ground, you have to win on the scoreboard”. Sorrento coach Nick Claringbold obviously was relieved after the match. “Put it this way, it took a while for me to calm down,” Claringbold said. ‘Last week I thought we didn’t deserve to lose and this week I thought
Rosebud was the better team all day. “We lacked energy and intensity throughout but we did have, and always have, is a belief that we can win. “We could have easily let it slip away in the last quarter but we kept pushing. It was good. “Our boys were sore after the Dromana game and they’re even more sore after this match. “It will be a light week on the track and we’ll have the boys refreshed for the grand final.” Dion Phillips is a sure thing to come back into the Sorrento side. “Dion was 80 per cent fit and could have played on Saturday, however, we wanted to ensure that every player was fit for Rosebud. “This week we hope to stick to our structures and play a better brand of footy,” Claringbold said.

Hastings Football Club suspended by league, club stripped of match points, captain suspended indefinitely By Lance Hodgins THERE were no Queen’s Counsels, no TV cameras waiting outside the coach’s house, no allegations of illegal drugs being administered, and no front page announcement in the daily press. It took the Mornington Peninsula Football League only a couple of hours to announce that the captain of the Hastings Football Club would be suspended “until further notice”. Furthermore, the Club would lose match points gained over the preceding weeks, and be banned from competing for the rest of 1940, including the finals series. The previous year, in 1939, the “Hastings-Tyabb” combination had reached the finals only to be trundled out by a strong Mornington team in the first semi. Hopes were high for 1940 as several players were reaching their peak, especially the Wilson boys. Percy Wilson was to be the playing captain-coach in 1940. He was coming in as the Club best and fairest and their “most consistent” player from only a seven game season. His brother Bert had been runner-up in the League best and fairest. Seven teams competed in A Grade in 1940: Frankston, Naval Depot, Mornington, Seaford-Carrum, Somerville-Baxter, Sorrento and Hastings-Tyabb. Hastings had a bye on the first Saturday of the 1940 season but then, in its first game, it succumbed to Seaford-Carrum by a point to give that team its first win in several years. The Wilsons were the best players for Hastings, along with Clarke, Slocombe, Mirabella and Langholtz. From then on, it was all downhill for the Blues. The defeats continued and the Club ran short of players to the point where it had to drop its B Grade team after two weeks. One bright point was the rare appearance of a father and son combination - the veteran “Digger” Langholtz and his son, young “Digger”. Both played several games for the Blues in 1940. A win against Sorrento was their only victory and they languished on the bottom of the ladder for several weeks. And then came the bombshell from the League. At a meeting of delegates, Hastings were disqualified for the rest of the season and ladder was reshuffled for the 1940 premiership. Frankston were awarded a match they had lost to Hastings by 2 points, and Seaford and the Navy were each awarded the premiership points for the final two matches they would have played against Hastings. What had led to the League’s unprecedented action in disqualifying an entire Club? Two prominent Hastings players, one of them Percy Wilson, had been reported by the central umpire in the Hastings v Navy game on June 15. Their case came before the tribunal on two occasions but each time it was adjourned as the central umpire was unable to attend. At the third meeting of the tribunal, the cases were heard and both players were disqualified, Wilson for a massive 9 weeks. In the meantime, Hastings kept fielding the two reported players on the basis that neither one had, as yet, been suspended. Furthermore they argued that the MPFL rules stated that a reported player must come before the tribunal within 14 days of the alleged
offence, and that that time had passed. The MPFL delegates saw differently. They ruled that the players had actually started their appearance before the tribunal within the specified time limit (although no decision had been reached), and therefore Hastings were in violation of the rules by playing them. The season for Hastings was officially over. Many observers felt that this was particularly unfortunate as Hastings had recently hit form to beat the reigning premiers, Frankston, and that they might have repeated this performance at Sorrento and the Naval Base. The league president, Mr Jack Gloury, described the disqualification as “a matter for regret in such an old and respected club as Hastings”. The Frankston game had been a particularly spiteful one. A long run of physical clashes came to a head in the last quarter when two players began exchanging blows. A general melee broke out as players and spectators rushed to join in. Play was held up for five minutes before order was finally restored. When the dust had settled, it turned out that the Hastings player reported was none other than Percy Wilson, the captain who was already “in limbo” awaiting sentence on the previous charge. Alderson of Frankston was reported for retaliating. Alderson received two weeks, but Wilson had a whopping 18 weeks added to his existing nine weeks suspension. When Wilson made certain disparaging remarks about one of the delegates (likely the Frankston one) he was asked to apologise, which he
declined to do. Percy was then told that he would be disqualified “during the pleasure of the League” which meant that his 27 week suspension would stay in force until the league would allow him to play again. The Hastings Football Club was “dissatisfied” with the attitude of the League and members were not inclined to field a team when 1941 rolled around. A spokesman for the Hastings Club said that the club was disgusted at the treatment meted out to them last season. This, he said, was the culmination of several unsatisfactory incidents and Hastings would make no effort to field a team until the League adopted a different attitude towards his club. Given that the Second World War was gathering pace, the MPFL doubted whether there would even be a football competition in 1941. Nevertheless, they decided on a “social” competition to “keep the lads fit and give the public a necessary diversion from the worry of war.” By May a more conciliatory attitude prevailed and the league lifted the club suspension and Hastings agreed to field a team. But there was no Percy Wilson playing that year. He used the time to court his bride, Betsy Mentiplay, and they married in September. At its annual meeting in April 1942, the MPFL lifted the ban on Percy Wilson. At the same meeting, however, it decided to shut down its football operations until the war was over.
