Sound advice BONEO Primary School pupil Sophie was among the dozens of aspiring young musicians who attended this year’s threeday Southern Peninsula Music Camp. She later took part in a special concert featuring a full 120 piece band at Eastbourne Primary School on Friday night to celebrate the renowned camp’s 30th anniversary.

New study into Portsea waves A THIRD wave monitoring and modelling investigation is to be carried out at the badly eroded Portsea front beach.

The $290,000 investigation will cover Port Phillip Heads, the Great Sands and the shoreline from Pt Nepean to Portsea and is expected to take 18 months.

The two earlier studies were reviewed by the CSIRO which noted that there is limited wave measurement data in this part of the bay, limiting the accuracy to which any model can be calibrated and adding a degree of uncertainty to any results.

Both studies recommended more extensive measurements of waves as they move into the bay from Bass Strait so that any further modelling could be precisely calibrated with some data and then later verified with other data.

This latest move follows ongoing public consternation over loss of the beach near the pier and along the front of Portsea Hotel.

Many resident s claim the problems began soon after channel deepening commissioned by the Port of Melbourne Corporation ended in 2009.

and will attempt to accurately model the wave climate, including seasonal wave patterns off-shore from Portsea.

“Coastal erosion is a process affecting beaches around the world and, unfortunately, beaches in Port Phillip Bay are no exception,” Mr Dixon said.

The minister for Environment and Climate Change, Ryan Smith, said the state government shared community concerns about the value of the beach.

He said he was pleased the work was set to begin.

“A further $7.5 million over four years is being invested for the Coastal Environment Program to manage coastal risks, storm damage and deliver on capital works.”

Belle goes above and beyond in new role HIGH-profile Winter Olympian and long-time peninsula resident Belle Brockhoff is ready to go above and beyond to help turn the tide against discrimination.

The Olympic snowboarder, who grew up on her family’s estate in Dromana, was last week appointed a beyondblue ambassador and said she plans to use her new position to highlight the issue of homophobia.

Brockhoff was also the only openly gay member of the Australian team at the Sochi Winter Olympics earlier this year and spoke out against Russia’s anti-gay laws.

Not only is Brockhoff proud to be gay, the 21-year-old has also shared her story of depression and anxiety, and of seeking support, in the hope of inspiring others to reach out when they are struggling.

Beyondblue acting CEO Dr Brian Graetz said Brockhoff had shown she shares the organisation’s passion for taking a stand against discrimination in all its forms and that her courage was an inspiration to all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people.

“Homophobia is never acceptable, and Belle has shown courage in speaking out in difficult circumstances,” Dr Graetz said.

“Homophobia, like any form of discrimination, can cause long-term stress, which can lead to depression and anxiety.”

He said research had shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people were at least three times more likely to try to take their own lives.

“LGB Australians are also three times more likely to be currently experiencing depression than their heterosexual peers and are twice as likely to be experiencing anxiety,” he said.

Brockhoff said she first experienced the symptoms of depression and anxiety when she was 16 when she didn’t have confidence in herself, felt unhappy most days of the week and began to self-harm.

She had her first discussion about her mental health with a GP when she accompanied her mother to a doctor’s appointment and was encouraged afterwards to have a chat with the doctor about why she was often feeling down.

“The doctor diagnosed me with depression and referred me to see a psychiatrist, but I refused to do so because I felt that meant there was something wrong with me,” Brockhoff explained.

“I didn’t know then just how common depression was, so I felt like a freak.”

She said she hit her lowest point two years later in her final year of school, when she began experiencing increasingly angry outbursts over little things and felt like she was a burden to people around her.

“That was when I decided to see a psychologist,” she said. “I saw her a few times and she helped me become more aware of my thoughts that led to particular feelings.

“In the last two years, I’ve also been working with a sports psychologist who is aware of my condition.

Seeking this support has made me feel

much better. “Now when I’m down, I try to surround myself with positive and happy people, or talk to my mum and dad or my sister.

“I also find going for walks by myself or hanging out with a good friend helps if I’m bummed about a result during competitions.”

Dr Graetz said when people share their story of depression or anxiety, it helped break down stigma around

these conditions. “Belle’s story sends a powerful message, particularly to young LGBTI people, that depression and anxiety are common conditions and having a mental health issue is not a sign of weakness. It takes courage to accept that you need help when you are struggling,” he said.

Brockhoff encouraged anyone who may be having a tough time to speak up and reach out for support.

“There is a lot of support out there from the people who care about you and organisations like beyondblue.

You are worthwhile and there is hope,” she said.

Anyone having a tough time can contact trained mental health counsellors at the beyondblue Support Service on 1300 22 4636 or via www. beyondblue.org.au/get-support for online chat or email responses.

Enchanted path to business success POPULAR peninsula tourist attraction The Enchanted Adventure Garden was last week named as a finalist in two of the five business categories in the prestigious Telstra Business Awards.

The Enchanted Adventure Garden, which is located at Arthurs seat, was the only business from the tourism sector and also the only Mornington Peninsula selection among the 25 Victorian finalists named in the national awards.

First opened in 1997 as a small maze and garden attraction, the business has grown into a thriving tourist drawcard for the peninsula.

The family owned business has grown to include adventure tube slides, tree surfing and live entertainment in addition to the expanded hedge maze and gardens, and employs more than 100 staff.

Owner Michael Savage said the business continued to expand and was drawing increasing numbers of visitors.

“In the past three years, we’ve transformed the business from maze and garden attraction into a thriving adventure park that offers a full day of healthy outdoor activities for families.

“Our annual pass memberships have grown by 300 per cent in the past 12 months and that tells us that our customers are extremely happy with our park and the services we provide.”

The Enchanted Adventure Garden has been shortlisted as a finalist in both the Medium and Regional Business categories of the 2014 Telstra Business Awards, which “recognise the innovation, perseverance and passion of Australia’s small and medium business sector”.

The winners of each of the five business categories in the awards will be announced at a function at Crown Palladium Ballroom on July 7.

Dunkley MP and Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson said it would be fantastic to see another peninsula business win the an award, following the success last year of Frankston business, Braap Motorcycles, which was named 2013 Victorian Small Business of the Year.

“The awards recognise entrepreneurs and innovators across Australia including the mums and dads who have a go and contribute to a healthy local economy,” Mr Billson said.

Portrait captures shared love of peninsula GRACING the ‘Archibalds’ in Sydney early next month could be a portrait of Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor, Cr Antonella Ceci.

And Mt Martha artist Bill Caldwell is so pleased with his work he gives it “some chance” of success in the prestigious art show.

His confidence is imbued not just by his skill at portraiture, but by his admiration of the mayor as “a striking subject”.

“I had seen her several times in the local paper and she looked terrific and I thought to myself, ‘If she becomes mayor I’ll rake up the courage to ask her to sit for me.

I had done mostly landscapes and still lifes, and a few portraits, and thought she would make an ideal subject.

Sure enough she became mayor and kindly offered to sit.”

Caldwell said he and the mayor discovered a shared love of the peninsula – its villages, coastline and landscapes – and the setting they chose to reflect that passion is Mt Martha beach.

“She is a determined woman and I wanted her to have a visionary pose, something that also tied in with the peninsula. She is wearing her gold chains in the portrait because I wanted to also show her as the mayor of Mornington.”

The finished work has now been sent to the Art Gallery of NSW for assessment in the acquisitive prize.

If the work is one of the lucky few – 40 out of 1000 – it will go before the judges early next month. The unlucky majority will be returned to the artists.

“If it comes back I’ll have a good painting to exhibit or maybe even present to the council,” Caldwell said.

Carers awarded for housing project THE efforts of a group of parents to find long term housing for intellectually disabled children has taken out this year’s top accolade in the Victorian Disability Sector Awards.

The Excellence in Personal and Community Support Award to Frankston Peninsula Carers follows the opening in February of the $4.8 million Hastings Model, which provides a home and 24-hour care to six people with intellectual disability as well as 20 independent units.

Thirteen of the units provide low cost housing for disadvantaged families while the other seven are occupied by people with intellectual disabilities.

The Frankston Peninsula Carers team - Joy Jarman, Marjorie Ross, Beryl Gibb, Norman Carlyon, Sue McPhee-Wright, Jim Houlahan Libby Reid, Helen Loyall and Maureen Bowler.

Following the success of the Hastings Model the group is now raising money to build similar projects at Balnarring and McCrae.

At Balnarring the group has an agreement with the Anglican church for a 40-year lease of land “located in an ideal situation, with all the support and social interaction needed”, Mr Carlyon said.

Along with the E W Tipping Foundation the group has raised $615,000 towards the required $1.25 million.

In McCrae the group has partnered service provider, Karingal and so far has managed to raise $720,000 towards the cost of buying land and building a house.

Kobe leads his heroes into battle

Volunteers awarded: Members of the Frankston Peninsula Carers group receiving their Excellence in Personal and Community Support Award are, from left, Maureen Bowler, Jim Houlahan, Libby Reid, Beryl Gibb, Norman Carlyon, Sue McPhee-Wright and Andrea Coote, the state Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities.

Mr Carlyon said the state government Disability Support Register shows that at 31 December 2013, there were 330 people with disability in the southern region who need supported accommodation immediately.

“There is an urgent need to build this accommodation,” he said.

“We now need the support of government - federal and state - to contribute, if not match, what the community has achieved.

“This represents real “value for money” for government. And it clearly demonstrates the will of government and community to work together to provide this much needed

accommodation.”

Mr Carlyon said most members of the group had cared for their own children with intellectual disabilities at home for up to 50 years.

“Now they can no longer cope. We are trying to address this issue.”

Mr Carlyon said the National Disability Insurance Scheme would not be completed until 2019-20 – “a long way off for mothers and fathers who are in their 70s and 80s and now can no longer cope”.

“These very disadvantaged people and their ageing parent carers are not expecting entitlement to this help, but they certainly deserve it, being among

those in our community who cannot do it for themselves,” he said.

“We acknowledge that the NDIS has no provision for capital work but that it will assist with the costs of accommodation for a person who requires an integrated model of care and accommodation, such as those living in supported accommodation.

“However, that is not the issue – we must address those who are not in supported accommodation and can no longer be cared for at home, but have nowhere else to go.

“They have no choice about where and how they might live, which the NDIS says is their right.”

A YOUNG Langwarrin boy lived out every footy fan’s dream – and it came in two parts.

First, he led his beloved Bulldogs onto Etihad Stadium to play arch rivals Collingwood in the annual Robert Rose Cup on Sunday 15 June.

Then, against all the odds, they won.

Kobe Malloy, 7, has an undiagnosed condition that has left him with very low muscle tone, ataxia and low levels of myelin in his brain, spine and nerves, limiting his mobility.

The theme of this year’s Robert Rose Cup is disability inclusion, which recognises the contribution and achievements of people of all abilities.

Robert Rose was the son of Collingwood legend Bob Rose and he himself played for both the Magpies and the Bulldogs before a car crash left him quadriplegic. Naming rights sponsor of the match, law firm Slater & Gordon, selected Kobe as mascot for the game. They are representing Kobe’s family in a medical case.

The firm’s medical lawyer, Anne Shortall, said Kobe was the perfect choice. “Kobe is a delightful boy with an infectious smile. He’s such an inspiration and we are thrilled to be able to give him this opportunity.”

His dad, Bevan, a keen Bulldogs fan himself, said the family was excited to be part of such an important match.

“Kobe is a happy little boy who continues to amaze us.

“As far as we know there is no one else in the world with his condition but that doesn’t stop him from having a go. He loves playing ball games and swimming and has settled into school really well.”

Dining out with hospice HUMANITARIAN worker Moira Kelly was guest speaker at this year’s Peninsula Home Hospice lunch on Friday.

More than 200 diners listened to Ms Kelly as she spoke about her work with disadvantaged children in Australia and overseas.

In 2001, she was awarded the Order of Australia in recognition of her humanitarian service to both the Australian and international communities.

She was Victorian of the Year in 2003 and 2012.

Ms Kelly was a schoolgirl when she decided to work with children, eventually leaving Australia and working with Mother Theresa’s orphanage in Calcutta. From there her aid work took her to Botswana, Johannesburg, New York, Bosnia and Albania. She worked in soup kitchens, refugee camps, dental clinics and schools and

coordinated volunteers in an HIV/ AIDS hospital in Romania.

She is now principal ambassador with Children First.

Peninsula Home Hospice provides specialist palliative care to people in their own homes.

Hospice medical staff can make home visits while other staff can offer advice on a variety of matters, including finances related to illness, relationships, transport, emotional and psychological distress, managing medications, funeral plans and legal matters.

The hospice works in with GPs and other support services.

The not-for-profit PHH was established on the Mornington Peninsula in 1984 and offers its services throughout the peninsula and Frankston. For details about PHH call 9783 6177 or go to www.peninsulahospice.com.au

Expanded recycling collection

Aboriginal art in modern style WORKS by a Mornington-based Aboriginal organisation “reflect themes of identity in a contemporary cultural context”.

The Munwarri Stand Up exhibition includes paintings, jewellery, craft by Aboriginal artists from Baluk Arts, showing their artistic development and desire to “stand up”.

Baluk Arts is a non-profit Victorian Aboriginal organisation owned by Aboriginal artists from Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula and south-east Melbourne.

The artists come from all over Australia and their works reflect themes of identity in a contemporary cultural context.

Family groups and members of the stolen generation say Baluk Arts has enabled them to reconnect with their culture and allowed them to express their histories through artistic practices.

Baluk is a Boonwurrung word meaning many.

Munwarri Stand Up by Baluk Arts runs 1 July-16 August at Frankston Arts Centre’s Curved Wall Gallery. The official opening starts at 11am on Monday 7 July.

MORE different items will be accepted for recycling through household recycling bins, and new-look rubbish trucks will be rolled out over the coming weeks.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the improvements are part of waste contracts that come into effect from 1 July.

The new items able to be recycled are pots and pans, rigid and solid plastic items, plastic kitchen ware, pot plant containers, plastic cups and plastic children’s toys.

“Increasing the range of items that can be recycled through home recycling bins is an improved service and convenience for households and, as these items are no longer going straight to landfill, it’s a win for the environment too,” Cr Celi said.

The new rubbish trucks and vehicles are part of the contract and, although collection days will remain the same, pick up times may differ.

Bins should go out for collection the night before collection day or before 6am on the day.

The new trucks will have a range of features to improve services, including hopper cameras to detect load contamination.

Coffee morning THE Mornington and District Historical Society’s next coffee morning will be held 10.30am Tuesday 8 July 8 in the Friendship Room, St Mark’s Uniting Church, Barkly St, Mornington. Vice-president Val Wilson will tell the story of her search for her great-grandfather which took her to the other side of the world. All welcome, $5 a person.

Polio meetings Do you know anyone who has had polio, or is experiencing the after effects of polio? If you do, you are welcome to attend support group meetings at 11am on the second Saturday of each month at the Information Centre, Main St, Mornington. Details: 5974 3495

Photographer finds silver lode at awards WEDDINGS are “bread and butter” for photographer Brian Randall, but he says there is nothing better than to being out and about shooting landscapes and seascapes on the Mornington Peninsula.

A photographer for 16 years, Randall has won numerous awards for his fine art shots, culminating this year with receiving 10 silver and two silver distinctions for his 12 entries in the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) annual Victorian awards.

Based in Frankston South, Randall says that when not on location for weddings, portraits and commercial work he is “traveling around not only the greater Melbourne area, but indeed the world”.

Randall is a master photographer with the AIPP and has been a member for 10 years. In 2011 he was a finalist in the landscape category and winner of the illustrative category and also a finalist for illustrative in 2013.

He used his Nikon D700 with a 16-35mm lens to capture the awardwinning images.

As a master photographer he was appointed to judge some of the other categories alongside other masters.

“Judging the awards is such a rewarding experience,” he said. “The level of work entered is outstanding and I am humbled to be included in this calibre of professionals who are

asked to judge.

“It is such an incredible experience to critique such amazing work.

Although it is just as nerve wrecking while waiting for my own results whether I am judging or watching.”

The AIPP’s national awards will be held in Sydney, 12-14 September.

Farewell to devoted dad Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au

whom she was inseparable.

She had been flying with her father in the microlight aircraft on the fateful Sunday afternoon when it crashed into the roof of a house in Seaview Rd, Tyabb.

Mr Doutch was pronounced dead at the scene, while Emily was rescued from the wreckage and flown to The Alfred hospital in with multiple injuries, including critical head and neck injuries, and breaks to her legs, pelvis and collar bone. She was in an induced coma for nine days.

While still facing a long road to recovery, doctors and family members have described her steady recovery as “amazing”, praising her bravery, strength of spirit, and bubbly personality.

Mother Susan Doutch said her husband would have been proud of the strength of character shown by both his daughter and son in the wake of the tragedy.

She thanked family, friends and colleagues for their support and said her husband would have been “humbled” by his send-off.

“What a perfect farewell for my husband of 10 years and partner of 15 years, Peter T Doutch,” she wrote on the family’s Facebook page following the funeral.

HUNDREDS of mourners bid farewell to senior Frankston SES and CFA member Peter Doutch at a funeral service at the Peninsula Aero Club at Tyabb following his death in an ultralight aircraft crash on 27 April.

The service, which was held in the club rooms at 1pm on 10 June, was attended by about 400 family members, friends and colleagues, including his five-year-old daughter Emily, who was critically injured in the crash.

Dozens of SES and CFA personnel formed a guard of honour along the airstrip to pay tribute to the dedicated father of two, who had devoted more than 24 year of his life to serving the community as a volunteer.

Aero club members performed a “missing man” flyover following the service as Mr Doutch’s coffin passed through the guard of honour en route to Bunurong Memorial Park, where a private cremation service was held.

Friends said it was as miraculous as it was heart breaking that Emily was now strong enough to leave hospital for the day to attend the service to say a final goodbye to her father, with

CURTAINS

& blinds

Curtains are making a remarkable come back. For many years, roller blinds have created a very minimalistic look in the modern home. By popular demand, the warmth and decorative nature of curtains are breaking through into customers’ homes.

Savings on heat loss and heat gain is as great as 60% when fully lined curtains are installed with coordinating pelmets being the primary window furnishing throughout the home.

There is an endless range of fabrics, textures, colours and sampling available for curtains and coordinating products to decorate your home. New fabric ranges are available to suit the traditional home through to the very modern home. To complement the curtains are tracks and rods from the traditional systems to modern streamline tracks, wave tracks and motorized options.

In addition to curtains, there is an amazing range of sheer fabrics enabling you to create privacy, where necessary, with class and fashion being the priority to complement the curtains and window treatments. Motorization of curtains and blinds is another concept that is gaining popularity. Any type of curtain or blind can be motorized – imagine being able to open or close any or all of your curtains or blinds at the push of a button.

SES chief looks back on decades of disasters Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT’S going to be hard for the crew at Frankston SES to think of Brian McMannis as anything but the chief.

But that’s the reality as the man credited with turning the branch into perhaps the best in the state stands down after 28 years at the top.

Tributes flowed at a retirement dinner attended by 220 wellwishers at Frankston RSL last week. State emergency services commissioner Craig Lapsley, SES chief officer Trevor White, deputy chief Tim Wiebusch, Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and the heads of the local CFA, police and the RSL all sang his praises after 36 years of dedicated service.

On the night, Mr McMannis – a former Frankston Citizen of the Year and recipient of the Emergency Services Medal - was awarded the first-ever life membership of the SES and praised for his dedication to the job and the sense of professionalism he had instilled in its members.

“There are no hands in pockets while our officers are on the job,” said incoming chief Philip Holt, who’s served the SES for almost as long as Mr McMannis – 33 years - and as his deputy for 26.

“He’s made us into a really good team and we have wonderful relationships with other emergency services.”

At his Seaford base on Tuesday – which the members built themselves under his leadership – Mr McMannis recalled the wet, windy night in 1978

Masterclass: Retiring SES Frankston controller Brian McMannis with Philip Holt, who will take his place as head of arguably the best resourced SES in the state.

Picture: Gary Sissons

he first encountered SES volunteers and how he was impressed by their dedication and selflessness.

“I was driving home late along McLelland Drive after heavy rain,” he said. “The SES volunteers were out there, warning drivers about flooding further along, and I stopped to have a chat with them. I realised what a terrific job they were doing and, when I got home, I told my wife about the poor buggers standing out in the rain helping people.

“I took them back some hot coffee and met the rescue officer and he said if I was interested in joining to

come and see them.” Inspired, Mr McMannis soon afterwards visited the original Seaford headquarters in a house opposite the present base in McCulloch Ave. He became controller in 1986. The rest is history.

The early SES crew was a creative lot with 25 members and a 1965 Dodge truck and trailer - but they had aspirations and drive. Over eight years they built a functional and purpose-built headquarters and established a reputation for hard work and professionalism. Now, with 90 members, they have modern equipment – such as the Jaws of Life

FREE DIGITAL HEARING AIDS & HEARING TESTS

- and a fleet of three rescue vehicles, two four-wheel-drives, a mini bus, a station wagon and storm damage trailers.

Storms, car accidents and fires are the mainstays of the service which receives around 1000 callouts each year. “I remember coming down here after a big storm 10 years ago and we’d had 575 calls for assistance,” Mr McMannis said.

His most vivid memories include national disasters, such as the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires and those of 2009’s Black Saturday. In the first, his Frankston crew was called to assist at Pakenham and Officer where they evacuated houses, returning later to search for bodies. In the second, Frankston crews rushed to Kinglake where the local SES had lost everything – including its truck.

“After Ash Wednesday I remember hoping we’d never see another disaster like that. And then we had to go through Black Saturday.”

Support from the public is vital.

“We were at Kinglake for five days.

Luckily, a local lady hired a generator and allowed us to live at her house.

But it was a tragic situation.”

More personal tragedies, unfortunately, live with him every day. The most depressing was the search for 23-year-old Sarah MacDiarmid, who went missing from Kananook station one night in July 1990 and has never been found. “I am still in touch with her parents,” he said.

Another was the search for victims of serial killer Paul Denyer in

Frankston in 1993. SES volunteers did a line search to assist police and helped remove the body of one of his victims.

A funeral director for the past 16 years with John Allison Monkhouse, Mr McMannis praises the company for its support and generosity in his frequent absences. His long hours on the job – up until midnight on some training nights - would not have been possible without it.

And he credits improvements to road safety – such as car seat belts, airbags, and the enforcement of 0.05 blood alcohol rules as reducing the huge loss of life on our roads since the 1960s. “Even putting roadside barriers along the Frankston freeway has been of great help,” he said.

Looking ahead to a simpler life, Mr McMannis says: “I feel that this is the right time to leave, although I am staying on as a volunteer.

“I’ve had a lot of satisfaction helping people go through traumatic times over the years, and the work will never cease - such as on Monday when a cyclist was hit by the train at Edithvale.

“Phil [Holt] has been my bridesmaid for a long time and now he can have a go. I know my wife will be happy: we can take more holidays.”

Mr Holt, a teacher at McClelland College, said he was looking forward to his role as controller “but I certainly won’t be doing it for as long as Brian did. He’s staying on to support us with his huge wealth of knowledge – and I’m sure he will kick my butt if I do the wrong thing.”

LETTERS Sack the council I HAVE been most concerned with the matters raised in articles on Mornington Peninsula Council in the Southern Peninsula News, particularly the latest issue, 10 June, p 14, ‘A week is a long time in council’..

It would seem that the council is dysfunctional, voting on lines of personal feuds instead of community needs, and using a ploy, which has gone on too long unresolved, to keep Cr Pittock from voting on SPA. As well, there appears to have been rash overspending of millions of dollars on land purchases. If they keep this up we will be bankrupted.

It would seem time the state government stepped in and kicked the councillors out and put an administrator in, as happened some years back.

Keith Murley, Blairgowrie

Inland pool IN 2009, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council received a backlash from the ratepayers when it was discovered that it was going to demolish the Rosebud Memorial Hall to make way for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre or SPA. The CEO Michael Kennedy, along with Cr David Gibb, assured ratepayers that this was, in fact, not going to happen. Now, in a "oh, by the way" moment, we see briefly mentioned in the press that this is potentially going to happen.

I understand that the hall was built as a memorial to the service men and women of both world wars. As an ex-serviceman of 20 years and a Vietnam veteran, I am appalled at the apparent dismissive attitude to these people. There is an inland site in Wannaue place, use it.

John Cain, McCrae

Stat study I STUDIED the interesting statistics in ‘Thousands nabbed in police blitz’ (The News, 17/6/14). On one night alone, nearly 5000 drivers were breathalysed locally and four "drunk" drivers were detected, about one in 1200.

They were all under 0.08, which used to be legal in some states and, I think, still is in some places overseas.

Then there was the statistic of 542 tests for drug affected drivers, with 51 returning positive.

(How positive?). That's one in 11.

I still wonder about the 18 or 19-year-old P-platers attending parties on Saturday nights.

They can't touch alcohol, so they sit around drinking cups of tea. With two teabags for added kicks. Gee, they'll soon get addicted to those teabags.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Job creation I REFER to the article ‘Young People Bear Brunt of Jobs Crisis (The News 17/6/14).

The article refers to comments by discredited former Frankston Labor candidate Helen Constas and Shadow Minister Martin Foley, hardly known for his accurate comments.

The Napthine government has created 77,000 jobs since coming into government, repaired the economy to be the best in the country and has $27 billion of infrastructure spending underway or planned. That, along with Victoria’s population growth, again the highest in the country, means young people have wonderful job oppor-

tunities into the future.

In education, we are spending $1 billion more in schools than the last year of the Labor government. In TAFE’s we have record numbers of students doing record numbers of courses with record funding. This means we are giving Victorian students every opportunity to take advantage of the job growth and strong economic performance of Victoria.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Value in his story HISTORY is a story and is best told by someone who has lived it, such as Isaac Batey and his history of the Sunbury area. I have a suspicion that Lance Hodgins has lived his articles about footy on the Mornington Peninsula through family folklore, backed up with extensive research and that his ancestor was one of the three Canadians who gave Canadian Bay its name.

As an obsessed local historian, I cannot praise too highly the extreme accuracy and detail, as well as the most interesting presentation of Lance's articles. A most valuable contribution to the recording of Mornington Peninsula history.

Ray Gibb, Rosebud

Forgotten ward SATURDAY 23 August must be a turning point for Red Hill Ward at the Mornington Peninsula Shire by-election.

Is council really doing all it can to promote the tourism and economic development potential of the ward’s 100 wineries, restaurants and food producers, as well as multifarious other businesses and arts groups?

Is council really doing all it can to protect the neighbourhood character of the ward’s unique peninsula villages – Flinders, Red Hill, Balnarring, Somers, Merricks, Shoreham and St Andrews?

Is council really doing all it can to promote environmental and heritage conservation in the ward?

Is council listening to Red Hill Ward community and action groups?

If not, why not?

Peter Holloway, candidate Red Hill Ward by-election

Costly project MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has refused to say how much rates will rise to pay for the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic/memorial hall project in Rosebud (SPA).

At last count the SPA was $40 million (based on March 2012 costs) an increase of $6 million since last December with still more to come.

By the time the project is completed in 2017-18 it could be $60-100 million when other costs such as a 4-5 year price rise, deviation of Point Nepean Rd to provide car and bus parking adjacent to the building as proposed in the Rosebud Structure Plan, moving the bowling club and provision of touted restaurants and cafe.

What will our debt be and can we afford to spend so much money on a single pool/hall development at Rosebud?

The answer is already given in a report by the director of sustainable development which shows that in real terms there will be an annual reduction in spending on other infrastructure and Red Hill Ward will continue to suffer.

The real yarn that is – the sort used to make jumpers and woollens of all sorts.

They’ve had lots of practice, spinning garments as a group for 22 years with up to 15 members. Now there are four.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said long-time member Heather Brookes, 77, “but we wish we had more young women joining us.”

Mrs Brookes has owned her jenny for more than 15 years and still marvels at the quality of

the garments it can produce. “The home spun jumpers are expensive and people often query the price but they don’t realise what’s involved,” she said. “It’s very time consuming.”

The group – which also includes Nina Saveneh, Roma McGaw and Maree Jones meets on the third Monday of the month for three hours spinning and chatting and passing the time creatively.

“I’ll do it as long as I can because I get lots of pleasure out of it,” Mrs Brookes said. And she’s not just spinning us a line, either.

The Noisy neighbours here to stay NOISY miners do most of their breeding from June to December so their noise levels are going to increase across the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston as they compete for mates and protect their territories.

“Our native noisy miners are not everyone’s favourite neighbours and often with good reason,” Susanna Bradshaw, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife said.

“These birds get their name from their loud, repetitive calls, but there are also other problems brought on by the noisy miner.”

Ms Bradshaw said the birds were “very territorial” and will often mob cats and dogs and native wildlife.

“This behaviour unfortunately drives away many of these animals, such as small wrens and ringtail possums,” she said.

“While these birds are sometimes in the bad books, quite often they get blamed for the naughty deeds done by the similarly named common myna or Indian myna. Common mynas are a much bigger problem for Australia’s wildlife because they are non-native, very aggressive and have a rapidly expanding population.

“Common mynas look quite similar to noisy miners in their size and shape but their colouring is very different. Common mynas have dark brown feathers whereas the noisy miners are mainly grey.”

Ms Bradshaw said noisy miners preferred open spaces and could be discouraged in gardens by building up an understorey. Dense clumps of

Redeeming features: While noisy miners live up to their and are aggressive towards other birds animals in their neighbourhood, they are also good at catching pesky insects.

Picture: Andrew Culverston

local native shrubs, grasses and thick bushes including spikey plants, would attract smaller birds and give them somewhere to hide from miners.

Nesting boxes for possums and native birds were “a great way” to encourage

other animals back into gardens.

“Noisy Miners are predominantly honeyeaters; they love the big, showy flowers of banksias and grevilleas.

and instead maintain a diverse range of Australian plants. This will benefit a wider range of native species.”

“Despite their reputation, there are plenty of things to admire the noisy miners for. In their communal groups

of 5-20 birds, very unusually, the males will hang around and help with the child rearing,” Ms Bradshaw said.

“The baby noisy miners are very fluffy and cute and you’ll be seeing them cuddling up to each other as the weather gets colder. These noisy miners are also very helpful in the garden by eating insects in your veggie garden.”

Ms Bradshaw said noisy miners were honeyeaters whose diet included seeds, insects, frogs, lizards and fruit.

“You can usually tell exactly what the noisy miners are communicating to their group. If they feel there is a threat nearby, you will hear a very loud, quick ‘pwee, pwee, pwee’.

When they’re relaxed, their calls are much softer and when the babies want food, they make a high pitched call.”

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife runs an environmental education program called Backyard Buddies. Visit www.backyardbuddies. net.au to download a fact sheet about noisy miners, and sign up to receive a free monthly e-newsletter.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Where the stars come out to play WITH spectacular views to the north and east, from the city skyline to Arthurs Seat, this elevated home offers a profound and entrancing view of the Southern Peninsula. Located less than one-kilometre from the beach, not to mention the shops and cafes along Point Nepean Road, the old adage of the best things in life are free rings true here, for it will not cost a cent to dip a toe in the waters of Port Phillip Bay or enjoy the evening light show after the sun has set. Instantly appealing, the home has a spacious, semi-circular kitchen with plenty of storage space, plus stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher and under-bench oven. The adjoining dining area has a view of the water, and the sense of space in the lounge room is increased by the raked timber ceilings. An amazing five bedrooms - most with their own private balcony access - lift this home well above the average.

NEWS DESK

Shaw says sorry with Amazing Grace Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au HEARD the one about the MP who crossed the premier then appeared at “a comedy show”? It was no laughing matter for Premier Denis Napthine who – ironically – called Geoff Shaw’s apology to Victorians and its parliament offered at the show “a joke” after the Frankston MP took to the stage in Melbourne last weekend.

Mr Shaw was suspended from parliament for 11 days for “misusing” parliamentary entitlements and one of his first engagements after his suspension was an appearance at The Wheeler Centre for a ‘question and answer’ session with comedian Sammy J on Friday 13 June.

Sanctions against the independent MP include the need to apologise to parliament and “the people of Victoria” by 2 September or face expulsion.

During the Q&A session Mr Shaw said sorry to parliament and Victoria – despite his claim he had “been screwed by parliament” – but the apology drew laughs from the audience with Sammy J querying its sincerity.

The audience was treated to the sight of Mr Shaw playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes at the conclusion of the evening.

The maverick independent MP’s decision to speak to Sammy J – himself a former “local” Mt Eliza resident and Peninsula School alumni – was portrayed in some quarters as an affront to the seriousness of Mr Shaw’s suspension, the heftiest punishment doled

What Shaw said...

Suspended show man: Frankston MP Geoff Shaw on stage at The Wheeler Centre being interviewed by comedian Sammy J before closing the evening with a rendition of Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. Pictures: Darren Tindale

out to a sitting MP “in 100 years”, according to the premier.

The News contacted The Wheeler Centre and head of programming Simon Abrahams was happy to set the record straight.

Mr Abrahams said Mr Shaw’s guest spot as part of the ‘Sammy J’s Democratic Party’ series of events was booked in mid-April by organisers.

The fact Mr Shaw was due to appear in the very week he was suspended from parliament was merely a coincidence.

“This is a new series for us and Sammy J. We have invited representatives from across the political spectrum.

Given that Sammy J’s Democratic Party is all about getting to know the person behind the politics, we thought Geoff Shaw made for a very interesting candidate.”

As for the perception Mr Shaw’s appearance was “a comedy show”, Mr Abrahams said the event was the first in a series and former federal Labor minister Lindsay Tanner was slated to

appear next month.

“Sammy J’s series at The Wheeler Centre isn’t comedy, it’s a series of conversations led by a comedian.

There’ll be plenty of laughs, but our aim is to get to know the person behind the political front,” Mr Abrahams said.

See www.wheelercentre.com/ events for details of future events including further political guests on Sammy J’s Democratic Party series at The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne.

GEOFF Shaw’s appearance at The Wheeler Centre saw the MP questioned by Sammy J about several topics over an interview lasting about 45 minutes, bagpiping excluded (see left).

The independent MP seemed relaxed and jovial despite having been suspended from state parliament that very week.

Mr Shaw denied misusing his parliamentary car for personal reasons but did admit “sometimes you do go up to the boundaries”.

He said he had done “nothing wilful or criminal”.

He said he bore no ill will towards ex-premier Ted Baillieu but said “Ted was quite a distant sort of fellow” who did not often talk to backbenchers.

Sammy J was critical that Mr Shaw had not mentioned his antiabortion views in his maiden parliamentary speech or in his preelection campaign in 2010.

Mr Shaw said he had not yet decided if he would contest this year’s state election and would think about it closer to the poll date.

“I’m not going to go into a known loss...there’s life after politics - it’s not the highest priority of mine,” he said.

He wanted to be remembered as: “The guy who did his best for Frankston.”

Labor’s Constas quits as candidate Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON became the focal point of state politics again last week but this time it wasn’t independent Geoff Shaw who was in the spotlight.

Labor candidate for Frankston Helen Constas withdrew from the race for the marginal seat at November’s state election after it was revealed a ‘bullying’ case against her was settled “confidentially out of court” when she was CEO at the Peninsula Community Legal Centre.

It was reported an ex-personal assistant had accused Ms Constas of workplace bullying in 2010. Supreme Court documents revealed the employee “broke down and resigned” after “one particular incident” in which the PA was “screamed at in an abusive tone and

threatened.”

A statement of claim document provided further details about the former legal centre employee’s accusations amid claims of “injury” amid the “stressful nature of her employment environment” between 2008 and 2010.

Ms Constas, as CEO, was accused of implementing “a bullying style of management and was demanding, aggressive, abusive, uncompromising, manipulative, unsupportive, unappreciative, accusatory, threatening, vindictive, harassing, overpowering and unpredictable in mood changes.”

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said he had not known about the settled legal claim until it became public knowledge last week.

Ms Constas stepped down last Thursday and read a prepared statement to journalists outside Labor’s Melbourne headquarters.

“This matter is very distressing to me and my

family,” Ms Constas said.

“I was committed to putting my heart and soul into running for Frankston, and I believe I would have been successful.”

She said the nature of the “confidential settlement” made it difficult for her to comment further.

Mr Andrews said the bullying allegation and out-of-court settlement had not been disclosed as part of Labor’s candidate pre-selection process.

It is believed Mr Andrews advised Ms Constas to resign as the party’s Frankston candidate.

Labor will now select a new candidate to contest Frankston. Mr Shaw won the seat for the Liberal Party by just 2.07 per cent in 2010.

Plans to meet basketball needs Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON Council has endorsed a $20-$25 million plan to provide adequate basketball facilities through to 2031.

A report to council last week outlined ways to upgrade and expand the city’s indoor basketball facilities, focusing on a staged development of Frankston Basketball Association’s stadium in Bardia Ave, Seaford.

Officers have been asked to develop schematic plans for the improved facilities and to report back by December.

They will undertake a funding advocacy campaign to identify potential grants from state and federal governments and other potential partners.

The council has assigned $500,000 in next year's budget towards the project.

The full cost of redeveloping the Bardia Ave site in three stages is tipped to be $20-$25 million.

Stage 1: $13 million - build two courts, including a show court with retractable seating and supporting amenities (change, referees, firstaid rooms), foyer, administration areas, cafe, store rooms and car park extension.

Stage 2: $4.5 million-$7.1 million – build two courts, replace the existing three sports pavilions with a new multi-use sporting pavilion for Kananook Sports Club, Southern Umpires Association and Frankston & District Junior Football League.

Stage 3: $4.5 million-$5.3 million - build two courts and cater to the requirements of a regional table tennis/multi-sport facility.

Experts say it is more economical to update and expand existing infrastructure than build on a new site.

The Bardia Ave centre has six courts, including a show court for 500-600 spectators. It has change rooms and amenities, administration area,

car parking for 173 spaces and bus drop off zone.

But the facilities are now “at capacity”, according to the mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, “and we are often seeing games scheduled for 11pm some nights just to get through the required number of games”.

“As a regional city we should be able to cater to the demand.”

Cr Taylor said as well as having a huge local requirement for modern facilities, Frankston was a sporting hub for participants from surrounding areas “and as a result we are at breaking point”.

The problem will be exacerbated by a growing population – tipped to grow from 132,000 to 144,900 by 2021 - and more players - up from 7000 to 7770 players in the same time frame.

Participation rates are tipped to rise to 8000-9000

players by 2031.

There are significantly more junior players (62 per cent) than senior players (38 per cent).

Court requirements now are, in reality, 14, but this is expected to grow to 15/16 courts by 2021 and 16/17 by 2031. This is based on the continuing availability for community use of three courts at Elisabeth Murdoch Secondary College and another three at Patterson River Secondary College. If not, an extra 10 to 11 courts would be required, the officers said.

The figures do not include participation rates for netball, table tennis, volleyball or futsal – and so don’t anticipate potential demand for total indoor courts to meet current and future needs.

It is understood that growing netball requirements, too, will be addressed as part of

the proposed expansion. Volleyball and table tennis could also potentially be played in a larger basketball centre depending on the number of courts available.

The decision to back the officers’ recommendation comes after a three month study into basketball participation rates. “It’s a solid ask,” Cr James Dooley said. “Now we have to work out a way to make it happen.”

Added impetus for the new courts comes from having a large proportion of the population in their most active years. More than half (61 per cent) are below 44 years old. Also, opportunities to attract more regional and country events or tournaments would provide economic benefits through increased demand for accommodation, food and beverages.

The evening will be spent in dancing, a musical programme, and presentation. Mr Hayes will officiate at the piano, Mr Westley, violin, and Mr Hopkins, piccolo. Everybody welcome. *** AT a special meeting of the Mornington Racing Club, held in the Mechanics’ Institute on Saturday night last, it was unanimously decided to lease the present course for a period of ten years, with the right of purchase at end of third year, at a stated price. Also that the course, which contains 70 acres, be let for grazing purposes from lst July next, tenders to be called for same. The annual meeting will take place on or about the 15th August, due notice of which will be given in our advertising columns. *** A very pleasant evening was spent by the fifty couples who assembled at the progressive euchre party held in connection with the Mornington Progress Association on Wednesday evening last, at the Mechanics’ Institute. The

time allotted for play was two hours, and during that time 12 games were played, after which a coffee supper was partaken of and highly appreciated. The energetic secretary (Mr C. Whelan) and the committee are to be congratulated on the success of their undertaking, and it is hoped another such evening will be held at an early date. *** Constable and Mrs Stephenson are at present on a visit to Frankston, renewing acquaintances with old friends. ***

The secretarial duties were carried out by Mr M. Brody in his usual efficient manner. *** Residents of Sorrento are becoming very dissatisfied with the present mail arrangements. During the winter months the mails are sent from Melbourne to Mornington and thence by coach to Sorrento. The coach does not reach Sorrento until 3.30pm, and consequently letters are not delivered until after 4pm. Sorrento is only 60 miles from Melbourne and there is a good road, which could be further improved

at little expense. Local residents contend that the postal authorities should endeavor to arrange for a motor service, as the present arrangements are antiquated and slow. *** AT the meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association on Saturday night, Mr Shillinglaw drew attention to the irregularity of the 6.43am workmen’s train to Flinders Street.

He said it was supposed to arrive at 18 minutes before 8am. Frequently it was 5 or 10 minutes late, and on two occasions lately it arrived at 8.15, with the result that several workmen travelling by it lost their day’s work through being late.

Mr Howard said the 7.27am train to town has also, for the last month or two, been running in a very erratic manner.

For four or five days out of the six in the week it arrived in town from five to twenty minutes late. The delay took place through dealing with horse boxes on the train. More over there was not sufficient accommodation. Directly the train left Mordialloc the carriages were packed. The 5.9pm express from town was also getting most inconvenient. The accommodation was quite inadequate, and when a number of drill shirkers bound for Langwarrin got on, things were very bad indeed.

On the motion of Messrs Barnes and Howard, the committee was requested to take action in the matter.

HISTORY

In search of the origins of peninsula football

By Lance Hodgins Part Four IN the Melbourne of 1858, it had been only a matter of weeks before the schoolboy matches were followed by young adults forming clubs and challenging each other to games of Australian football.

In the case of Mornington, however, it would take a little longer for the 1883 Academy/Vale Street encounter to have the same reaction.

Perhaps the light population of the area had something to do with this. In the early 1880s, Mornington had just over 500 people and was clearly the legal and economic hub of the peninsula. This was more than twice the number in Hastings and three times that of Frankston which, at that time, had only 29 houses and 173 people!

Over the next decade, however, this balance was to change dramatically with many implications for economic, political and sporting activity.

In 1882, the railway came to Frankston and the sleepy little village was linked to the suburban network of Melbourne. This created a ten-year boom period in which hotels, banks, the first Ritchie store, and several small industries sprang up.

From the outset, rumours were rife in Frankston that a football club was soon to be formed, but there were fears that the town still lacked sufficient young men to support it. The game was thriving in Dandenong, they argued, conveniently and impatiently ignoring the fact that Dandenong had been established as the economic “gateway to Gippsland” for over two decades.

The population of Frankston began to grow steadily. It didn’t take long for the newcomers to “flex their muscles” and challenge Mornington for supremacy on several fronts. For instance, Frankston demanded a greater say in local government matters, especially the funding of roads. In fact, animosity between the two towns would ultimately lead to the severance of Mornington and the creation of two separate shires.

Despite the growing animosity between these two main towns, the peninsula would have to wait five years after the coming of the railway for

PAGE 28

them to meet on the football field.

On 11th June 1887, the Frankston and Mornington clubs were scheduled to meet at “the Point”. Excitement ran high amongst the young men of each town and they were bitterly disappointed when the match was cancelled due to a clerical error on the part of the Frankston secretary.

And so it was on Saturday 18th June 1887 that the first senior game of football was finally played on the Mornington Peninsula.

With both sides at full strength, and rivalry keen between the two towns, play was tough from the start.

The large crowd, probably including many former schoolboys from four years earlier, urged on the home team – but to no avail. Frankston proved too strong for the “Pointers” and ran out easy victors 4 goals to nil. No behinds were recorded as they were not yet included in the rules of the game.

The best players for Frankston were Sadlier, Kelso, O’Grady, Bentick, Westaway and Clark. Mornington were well represented by Waycott, Healy, Crawford, Evans sr and jr, W Edwards, Gillott and Martin.

So successful was this game that a return bout was scheduled for five weeks later on Saturday 16th July 1887 at Frankston. A close game was expected, as Mornington had practised hard to improve their play, but this was not to be as they were without a couple of their best players from the previous game. Frankston scored 3 goals and sundry behinds to a few behinds only from Mornington.

Finally, on 27th August, the two teams met for a third time at Frankston. This time the Mornington team played three men short and went down 3 goals to 1. The game was reportedly enjoyed by all, who agreed that Mornington were definitely improving and should, in time, be successful.

As a result of the three Mornington/ Frankston encounters in 1887, football on the Peninsula was finally off to a flying start.

The summer months were spent in eager anticipation of the next season. Mornington had signed up a large membership and the town was obviously behind them. Other towns

Southern Peninsula News 24 June 2014

began to watch developments with interest.

By April 1888, both sides were hard at practice in preparation of their resumption of “hostilities”. The Mornington players were improving under the continued leadership of Waycott, their captain and secretary.

He arranged to meet Frankston at Mornington on 12th May. Sadlier was still Frankston’s captain and, despite his team being three players short, they were equally confident of success.

The morning was so wet that Mornington considered cancelling the game, but the rain ceased at noon and the game got under way at the customary time of three o’clock. Attendance was limited by the weather, but brightened by the appearance of several young ladies from Frankston.

Their cheering, no doubt, was greatest for O’Grady when he kicked Frankston’s first goal.

After a long passage of good play, Mornington replied with a leveller and then almost immediately a second goal, which was disputed by the Frankston players and subsequently not allowed by the umpire. Frankston then scored their second goal which made them the winners, when dark-

ness caused play to be called.

The young Mornington side had proven themselves worthy opponents and, more importantly, good sports when they extended the usual courtesies and entertainment to their visitors before they left for home.

The two teams met only once more that year, with the honours again going to Frankston. Frankston went on to play 14 matches in 1888, no doubt helped by their rail link to other teams in Melbourne’s suburbs. Brighton, Essendon District, Dandenong and Victorian Railways South Suburban were amongst their opponents.

Mornington hosted, and lost, three games in June 1888 against teams from Melbourne: the Electric Telegraph, North Park (Hotham) and the Wanderers. A win against a team from St Kilda was marred by fisticuffs after the Mornington umpire, H Worrell, was abused by the visitors.

South Melbourne Seconds also made the journey to Mornington and beat the locals 7-6 to 4-6.

Of greater significance to football on the Mornington Peninsula was the emergence of a Sorrento football club during 1888. A game was played at Portsea against Queenscliff, and a draw was obtained against a com-

bined team from the South Channel, Franklin and Nepean Forts.

A challenge was soon issued to the “boss club” – Mornington – and the two teams decided to meet on neutral half-way territory at Dromana.

A huge crowd witnessed rough football as Harry Watts’ heavier Sorrento team took the game up to Waycott’s faster and more experienced players.

After two hours’ play, a draw was declared at two goals each.

The return bout was eagerly awaited. When the Mornington lads travelled to Sorrento, they struggled to adapt their play to the “sand hills” of their opponents – and lost 4 goals to nil.

The importance of these games was not lost on the other towns of the peninsula who looked on with envy.

Furthermore, the railroad was coming to Mornington and Stony Point next year, and this would create a network of growing towns.

Over the summer months, there was much talk of forming new clubs for the 1889 season. It seemed that the secretaries of these new clubs were going to be very busy now that football had finally arrived on the Mornington Peninsula.

My World Cup runneth over

By Stuart McCullough *ARGH!* How incredibly tedious.

Before a ball has been kicked or a goal scored, I am heartily sick to death of the World Cup. It’s not the fault of the players, as such. Like anyone, I look forward to nearly everything about the game itself – from the thrill of seeing that round ball sail past the goalkeeper’s hands into the net, to the first spurious dive that, should it not attract a penalty would almost certainly win a nomination for ‘Best Actor in a Supporting Role’. Even the threat of a ‘World Cup Theme Song’ that’s about as tuneful as a second hand piece of footwear or the possible return of the ‘Vuvuzela’ are not enough to put me off the world game. No, sir. There is one thing and one thing only that turns me off soccer as a sport, an idea and as a way to make ninety minutes of my life vanish – psychic animals.

Let me be clear: I quite like animals, generally speaking. But I detest with a passion that is barely human any creature – whether hooved, clawed or tentacled, that claims it can predict the future. This is especially so for any critter that dares claim that it can tip the winner of this year’s World Cup. As surely as night follows day follows large-scale integrity probe, one the planet’s biggest sporting events never fails to result in an onslaught of psychic animals queuing up to predict everything from the winner of the overall tournament right down to the temperature of the hotdogs.

It’s depressing on multiple levels.

For starters, there’s the sheer number

of God’s creatures who claim they can predict the future. Then there’s the fact that the world’s media will line up like a bunch of (presumably) non-psychic lemmings to watch as some miserable creature walks, crawls, swims or rolls in the general direction of someone’s national colours. The whole spectacle diminishes man and beast alike.

Let’s start with Paul the Octopus.

Every four years this under-achieving octopod was dragged out before the salivating hoards and asked to predict the outcome. Frankly, if the beast was that clever, it wouldn’t be picking a winner by drifting inertly past one country’s flag, it would be up in the commentary box, giving special comments. “So Paul, how did you see that last play?” “Bubble, bubble, bubble,

bubble.” Frankly, if only the humanoids that currently clog up the commentary teams could make remarks as insightful as that, the whole thing would be a lot more enjoyable.

I realise that everyone’s got to make a living but this is no way for a selfrespecting octopus to get by. If you had eight hands, you’d want to make the most of it. Do something meaningful. Maybe even start a band. An octopus could probably play everything itself. Drums, bass, guitar and keys – and still have hands left over.

Paul the Psychic Octopus should have cashed in his winnings, left his tank, changed his name to ‘Squid Vicious’ and started his own punk band. Or a rhythm and blues band called ‘The Rolling Stonefish’. Or ‘Joe Calamari and the Black Sorrows’.

Sadly, Paul won’t be joining us in Basil as he passed away in 2010. I bet he never saw it coming. Truth be told, the only contribution an octopus should be making to the World Cup is as an entrée. Now we are left with a giant, octopus-shaped gap as the World Cup begins and all kinds of creatures rush to fill the void.

There’s Big Head the Clairvoyant Turtle (Brazil), Fred the Predicting Ferret (Ukraine), Funtik the Telepathic Pig (also Ukraine) and Sikko the Psychic Guinea Pig (Netherlands).

If these jokers really have supernatural powers, they should be solving crimes, not telling us who’ll emerge victorious in a stoush between Cameroon and Lithuania. In fact, they should join forces to form an elite crime-fighting unit, the likes of which

the world has ever seen. Move aside Simon ‘The Mentalist’ Baker; this will be the most exciting multi-creature team effort since a cat, elephant, dog and gorilla joined forces and called themselves The Banana Splits to become the greatest rock and roll band ever known to humanity.

Worst of all, all this tomfoolery encourages others. If I never hear another word about Rudy, the Clinker Predicting Gerbil – who can guess with thirty percent accuracy whether the clinker you’re about to bite into will be green, yellow or pink on the inside – then I’ll be happy. The less said about Daryl, The Extrasensory One-Toed Sloth (whose only claim to fame is being able to predict whether the express train from Frankston to Flinders Street will depart on time) the better we’ll all be.

It occurs to me that there’s an easier way to World Cup success. Forget training and team drills. That stuff is for suckers. Real success comes in winning over the animals. It all starts with the flag. Just as an electro-blue light is as a siren’s call to insects, we’ve got to come up with a new flag that is innately attractive to futurepredicting animals. When turned loose and given a choice between two flags, Siegfried the Soothsaying Donkey, Trevor the Magical Mexican Fighting Fish, Toby the Wombat-Dynamo and the whole useless menagerie will be irresistibly drawn to ours. Only then, I feel, will victory be certain. Now that’s what I call sport. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

History in the bag with postcards exhibition FOR the first time, the Mornington Peninsula’s eight historical societies have joined forces to create a multi-faceted exhibition showcasing the region’s fascinating past.

Postcards: Stories From The Mornington Peninsula features collections of artefacts illustrating a unique story from each of the eight regions.

With exhibition designed to travel around the peninsula and Victoria, each display has been assembled inside a suitcase and includes an audiovisual presentation.

Sorrento Museum secretary and collection co-ordinator Joy Kitch each society had created a five-minute presentation to background the displays.

“Some choose interviews, others images lovely images from the past, including some original film footage of the steam tram heading along the main street of Sorrento to the back beach,” Ms Kitch said.

She said it had taken three years’ work to finalise the collaborative effort between the peninsula’s various historical societies.

“As you can imagine co-ordinating eight groups takes patience and time,” she said.

“We are fortunate - and probably unique - on the peninsula in that our shire funds a part-time local history coordinator, Sally Robins, who was been working hard to keep communication and ideas flowing between all historical societies in our network.

“Of course numerous grants were needed to enable the hiring of project curator Dr Megan Cardamone, who initially worked with each society to select the story and artefacts they would use.”

She said that given the mobile nature of the exhibition and the fact that postcards are synonymous with travel, suitcases were the designers’ “natural choice”.

“Museum consultant Georgia Rouette coordinated the setting up of the suitcases and their precious artefacts. It was a learning experience

Picturing the past: The region’s fishing industry is the focus of the Hastings section of the Postcards: Stories From The Mornington Peninsula exhibition, which features collections of artefacts accompanied by audiovisual displays illustrating a unique story from each of the peninsula eight historical societies.

for us all as we worked with Georgia to arrange the room and each suitcase.”

The exhibition opened recently at Sorrento Museum, with more than 120 visitors attending on the opening day alone.

“Visitors from all over the peninsula told us how much they loved the display and video with its scenes and interviews about early days fishing at Rye, staying at Flinders beautiful guest house St Andrews, working in the orchards at Somerville, travelling to Sorrento by ferry and so on,” Ms Kitch said.

“People from Melbourne said they had no idea

about the depth of the history of the Peninsula and would be visiting the other great little museums we have here.”

The Flinders sectoin of the exhibition tells the story of its renowned guesthouses, while Nepean’s take on holidaymakers will focus on the role of paddle steamers which carried tourists all around the bay. The influence of the paddle steamer can still be seen in Sorrento – the ferry.

Rye’s foreshore and beach, which has been a popular tourist destination since the early 1900s, becomes a focal point showing how holiday-makers enjoyed swimming, boating and ‘parading’,

while Dromana’s Arthurs Seat lookout reflects upon how changing values in an environment can alter how it is used.

Somerville and Tyabb’s focus is on how apple orchards influenced the industry of today, while Mornington’s reflection is on how the early train line influenced the region.

It documents the local community’s valiant, but unsuccessful, efforts to keep the train running after 1981. In a similar light, Balnarring’s story about the creation of a Harley Davidson clubhouse offers an alternative view to the usual tales of motorcycle groups and clubs. It focuses on the importance of community and family – and a history about which we are most likely unfamiliar.

The region’s fishing industry is the focus of the Hastings section. The town was synonymous with fishing in the early days and while this oncemajor industry is now mostly recreational, it is said 100 boats worked from the town in 1892.

A fisherman’s hut on the foreshore at Hastings is said to date from around 1864, just after the first jetty was built. The shed was used for storing and packing fish, as well as the ice in which it was packed for transport. It is still being used by local fishermen.

Postcards: Stories from the Mornington Peninsula was launched by the Mornington Peninsula Shire, in conjunction with the Mornington Peninsula Local History Network, and is on at the Sorrento Museum until 17 August.

It will then tour the peninsula, including Frankston library from 8 September to 5 October, Mornington library from 11 October to 16 November, and Coolart Wetlands, Somers, from 22 November to 25 January 2015. The final stop is the Royal Historical Society of Victoria in Melbourne from 2 February to 9 March 2015. An audio visual presentation and online education kit are shown with the exhibition.

By Toe Punt MT ELIZA has taken Langwarrinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position in the top five after coming from behind to beat the visitors 11.18 (84) to 10.8 (68).

The Kangaroos have now lost five matches in a row, all to the teams now in the top bracket.

Coach Gavin Artico is entering new territory. He has never lost five matches on the trot in his coaching career.

At three quarter time on Saturday, the visitors led by three points.

However, whilst the Redlegs trailed, their use of the footy going forward wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great and they squandered many opportunities.

The home side finished with an additional 11 shots at goal.

When a player needed to stand up in the last quarter for either side to win, it was best on ground Redlegsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rover Rohan Heasley who stepped up to the plate. He booted two goals in the final term and finished the afternoon with three, while Scott Lockwood made it 10 majors in two weeks with another four.

Darren Booth played his best game since returning to his home club from Rye and Mark Wilson finished with a couple of goals in a solid display.

The Kangas just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford injuries and they again went into the match without their best forward, Matt Dimkos.

Running defender Jarryd Amalfi was also hospitalised.

Sean Herdman was very good for the visitors with three goals and Dylan

Luxa and Michael Parker played well.

The Kangas are a light side and as predicted at the beginning of the season, need everything to go right before they can challenge for a place in the top five.

Whilst the configuration of the top five may change, the sides in it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

In the other big game on the weekend, Bonbeach booted seven goals to three in the third quarter to set-up a 32-point win against Mornington.

The Sharks kicked 10 goals to six in the second half after going into the halftime break with only a five-point lead.

Shane McDonald was the best player on the ground with three goals for the Sharks while Justin Bennett booted three also. Jason Ferraro and Anthony Raso were dominated around the ground and Dylan Jones continues to dominate in the ruck.

Jai Haddock was the best of the Doggies, along with Barry Smeeton and Emilio Bitters.

The Doggies have now lost two games on the trot after going on a seven-game winning streak.

Three weeks ago the Doggies were a game clear on top of the ladder. They now sit in fourth, a game clear of Mt Eliza and a game off top spot.

Top spot is being occupied by Frankston YCW after they recorded a 16.14 (110) to 5.7 (37) win against Karingal.

The Stonecats kicked seven goals to zip in the opening quarter and it appeared as though it was going to be a long day for the home side.

However, the Bulls booted five goals

to nine in the second half. They booted five goals to six in the second and third quarters.

David Bodley booted six majors for the Stonecats while Byron Barry and Tony Lester dominated.

Tom Matthews was Karingalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, along with Tom Wilkinson and George Angelopolous.

Chelsea led Pines by 25 points at half time on Saturday. They still held a four point lead at three quarter time.

However, the Pythons, led by Beau Hendry and Jamie Messina (three goals), kicked four goals to one in the last to win 14.11 (95) to 12.12 (84).

In the week that Pines coach Steve Ryan declared he was stepping down as coach at seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, his charges found something when it mattered most.

Guy Hendry booted four goals and was one of his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best and Shaun White, whilst he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dominate the scoreboard, was outstanding.

Brad and Jason Clark were the best of the Gulls.

Edithvale-Aspendale booted seven goals to one in the final quarter against Seaford to win 15.7 (97) to 9.8 (62).

The reigning premiers trailed by 19 points at quarter time, by 25 points at half time and by two points at the last change.

However, Brad Tagg and Jarrod Garth rose to the occasion in the last, finished with five goals each and with Brad Gilder and Matt Kremmer dominating, were able to get the job done.

Dean Kemble and Luke Smith with three goals were the best of the Tigers.

Ryan quits, gives Pines backing for new coach to kick club on

By Toe Punt PINES coach Steve Ryan has told the club to find themselves a playing coach for season 2015.

The former Rye premiership coach is in his third season at the helm of the Pythons, however, he believes the club needs to find new blood for next season.

Ryan made it clear that if the club couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find what they were looking for, he was more than happy to coach them again next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football is about football clubs, not individuals,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still want to coach and I believe I still have plenty to offer, however, with the way the Pines Football Club is at the moment, they need to go out and get another onfield leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a captain coach would be fantastic for the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows the club to invest in a good player, who can also lead the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so close as a club to playing finals football and all we need is a couple of good recruits.

We have all the foundations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have arguably the best

facilities of any club in the competition, financially the club is ain a strong position and we have a proud and passionate playing list and supporter base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe the Pines Football Club is a sensational opportunity for someone who wants to take the next step and coach a side.â&#x20AC;?

Ryan said it was important to tell the club as soon as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club now has 10 weeks before any other club to start looking at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around. It gives them a chance to go and watch other games and see who might be worthwhile to target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I told the club at the end of the season, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that opportunity,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said.

Langwarrin did the same thing in 2004. It observed football matches of other clubs and watched and listened to who the onfield leaders were.

At the time, Frankston YCW had a defender by the name of Gavin Artico. He was appointed at the end of the 2004 season and won the flag with the Kangas the following season. He is now a two-time premiership coach at two clubs.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

Blues show real fight against Rye NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt HASTINGS has moved into the top five after a sensational come from behind win against Rye at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday.

Nine points down at the seven minute mark of the last quarter, Hastings piled on six of the last seven goals of the game to run away 23 point winners, 20.11 (131) to 17.6 (108).

There has been wide criticism of this Hastings outfit and their inability to find a way when the chips are down.

However, the Blues had their backs to the wall in the first and last quarters on Saturday and were able to fight their way back into the contest.

This has now got to be the Hastings standard. Nothing short of the effort they displayed on the weekend should now be tolerated.

The Blues again went into the game without star midfielder Daniel Wishart and 200-gamer Jason Kestle.

The Demons got away to a flier, kicking the first three goals of the game before Hastings worked their way back into the contest to trail by just six points at the first change.

The Blues were electric in the second quarter, kicking to the Melbourne Rd end, booting seven goals to three for the term. Grant Masterson booted three goals in the second and finished with a season-high six majors. Grant was at his best, leading hard, working hard, dangerous in the air and at ground level and never missing an opportunity.

Luke Hewitt was superb with four goals and is underrated by the opposition and his brother, Ryan, was damaging also.

A number of Rye players tried to go with Justin Berry, but he was one of the best players on the ground with three goals, two of them rippers from the boundary line.

Josh Mulheron was the difference between the sides. Whilst his opponent, Rye skipper Rhett Sutton was very good around the ground,

Mulheron dominated at the stoppages and constantly gave his midfielders first use of the footy.

Taylor Stratton was dangerous from half back and finished with two long goals, while Colin McVeigh continued his brilliant season.

Down back, Brendan Dunne led from the front, leading and rebounding from the defensive zone, Steve Robb provided plenty of run and Michael Cave did what he was required to do in a stopper role against Ben WintersKerr. Lance Brouwer was sensational on the dangerous Aaron Findlay, beating him in the one on ones and restricting him to two goals.

Hastings needed to play team footy for four quarters and that’s exactly what they did. It was the best performance seen from a Hastings outfit since the year they almost won the grand final.

Every Hastings player was committed to the cause. The brand of footy the Blues played on the weekend is capable of beating any side, including Dromana away from home this week.

The same can’t be said for Rye. They play like individuals, not a team, and it was clearly evident.

There was a lot of finger pointing going on between players, especially from those who are new to the club.

Ryan Semmel, whilst terribly gifted, constantly gets himself into trouble for either over using the footy or looking for one of his brothers whenever he gets it. He gets it heaps of times and if he gave first option, Rye could have won the game.

Make no mistake, when Ryan busts a pack and gets into open spaces, he looks as good as any player in the past 20 years in the comp. There’s a time though to listen to what’s going on around you and giving off the footy.

Bad decision making and turnovers also cost the Demons in the heat of the battle.

The Rye midfield was generally beaten and, to be frank, didn’t work hard enough or respect the opposition.

They were unaccountable for the most part.

Jake Semmel was clearly Rye’s best with two goals and he spent time running with Berry.

Andrew Dean, a natural forward, was wasted on the wing or across half back.

Jay Bruno worked tirelessly through the middle. Ben Holmes spent the second half down back to help Ryan Taylor, which was a good move, but he didn’t always get it right coming out of defence, resulting in a couple of goals in the last quarter.

It was a very entertaining game of footy, the most entertaining for the round. It was played at a furious pace, 37 goals were kicked, there were patches of brilliance from both sides and both are worthy finals contenders.

The difference between the sides was one of them was willing to do anything for a teammate and the team to get the desired result and the other generally looked after themselves first.

Crib Point’s Glenn Boyd booted eight goals in the first half and five majors in the second hour to finish with 13 of his side’s 22 against Tyabb.

The Magpies had 55 (22.33) shots at goal to the Yabbies’ 13, winning 165 to 48.

Dean Warry and Brad Arnold dominated in the win for the Pies.

Rohan West and Justin Volk were the best of the Yabbies while Jake Anderson finished with two goals.

Sorrento restricted Devon Meadows to just two scoring shots in the first three quarters on Saturday before going on to win 18.13 (121) to 4.2 (26).

Leigh Poholke finished with nine goals for the Sharks to move to 45 for the season, while Ryan Williams and Leigh Treeby dominated.

Jack Hazendonk was the best of the Panthers, while Ash Adams and Pat Harmes worked hard over four quarters.

Dromana had little trouble beating Somerville, restricting the Eagles to

just one goal in the first three quarters before going on to win 23.16 (154) to 3.15 (33).

Anthony Bruhn booted four goals for the winners while a further nine players contributed on the scoreboard.

Callan Park played his best game since crossing from the Alberton League while Adam Coyle and Ash Waterstone were also amongst the best.

Justin Farrelly was the best of the Eagles, along with Kane McKenzie and Jake Ryan.

A seven goal third quarter saw Rosebud beat Frankston Bombers 16.11 (107) to 10.11 (71).

Glen Peterson booted four goals in a near best on ground performance

while Ryan Spooner and Jack Jarman dominated.

Jay Reynolds booted three for the Bombers while skipper Jay Page collected the three votes.

In the final game, much like Rosebud, Red Hill kicked seven goals in the third quarter to set up a 17.14 (116) to 13.10 (88) win over Pearcedale.

Jarryd Eames booted four and Jarryd Douglas three for the Hillmen while Matt Hyden and Jake Mitchell dominated. Jamie McCall is also doing a sensational job for the Hillmen in the ruck and is in career-best form.

Dean Janssen and Pat Cadd were the best of the Panthers while Pat Heijden kicked four goals.
