Father Bob’s lunchtime talk FATHER Bob Maguire, enigmatic champion of the down-and-out and the much loved “people’s priest�, was at his charming best when speaking to a packed house at Peninsula Home Hospice’s (PHH) annual lunch at Rosebud Country Club.

A man with many stories to tell – some happy, some sad – Father Bob was at the event held to raise funds for PHH and lift awareness of home-based palliative care in the community. Last year’s lunch featured Moira Kelly and raised more than $6000.

The group aims to provide home-based specialist palliative care that optimises quality of life and honours the hope for comfort, choice, dignity and peace.

Palliative care focuses on quality of life, helps people to live as well as possible and, when the time comes, to die in comfort.

Last year PHH supported 800 people living with a life-threatening illness as well as their families and carers.

A very active group of women, PHH Mornington auxiliary has been hosting events and raising money for homebased palliative care since 1994, with Mornington’s Paddy Carter as president for many of those years.

Council scraps planning group Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SHIRE councillors have abolished the council committee that deals with major planning matters on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Development Assessments Committee (DAC) was scrapped via a late-night Notice of Motion at the council meeting in Rosebud on Monday 25 May. Planning matters will now be dealt with at ordinary council meetings.

The motion was put up by Cr Hugh Fraser who has pushed for what he calls the streamlining of council pro-

cesses and procedures since last October.

This was when the balance of power on the council changed following the election of Cr Tim Wood, who replaced Frank Martin.

When the vote was called, five councillors wanted to retain DAC and five wanted it ditched. Deputy mayor and meeting chairman Cr Graham Pittock (filling in for the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb) used his casting vote to break the deadlock.

Four days later, local state MP Martin Dixon said he had received calls from residents who were “rightly confused and angry about the need

for this latest council decision�. “They see the integrity of our entire planning process being severely undermined,� he said.

He said the decision would give councillors “and the public less time and less ability to scrutinise all planning applications�. “In response to strident ... requests from across my electorate, I will be asking the Minister for Local Government to intervene and help restore transparency, scrutiny and consistency to all planning matters currently before council.�

Mr Dixon’s and other residents’ concerns were refuted by Cr Colomb. She

told The News bringing planning matters into the Monday night ordinary council meeting (OCM) was a positive step although she would have preferred a trial period. “I’ve spoken to many councillors across Victoria in my travels and it is common practice to have planning at OCMs,� she said. “In our region, Frankston and Greater Dandenong councils have this and so do many other councils across the state. “I can guarantee to Mr Dixon and others that this won’t remove the rights of people who want to speak at council meetings about planning issues.�

In a statement to The News, Cr Fraser

said council meeting procedures and briefings had been “simplified and regularised�. “A multi-layered complex of council committees has been dismantled and the community will now be able to review the whole suite of council business at one fortnightly public, open and transparent council meeting.�

Councillors voting to scrap DAC were Tim Wood, Lynn Bowden, Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser and Graham Pittock. Against were Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, David Gibb and Antonella Celi. ď Ž See Cr Hugh Fraser’s letter on Page 14 and Council Watch on Page 16.

Indigenous gift to shire inspired by Dali THE shire’s cultural heritage officer Adam Magennis has presented to deputy mayor Cr Graham Pittock a painting of Aboriginal motifs inspired by Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali.

The gift was to mark the council’s annual presentation of the Reconciliation progress report as well as recognition of National Reconciliation Week 2015.

Other activities included a smoking ceremony and ceremonial dancing.

Mr Magennis – a qualifed archaeologist who advises shire planners, government agencies and developers about cultural heritage management – said his work contained everything from “insects in the soil to stars in the galaxy”, and included elements such as “surf at Sixteenth beach on the ocean coast at Rye; Arthurs Seat, which is known as Wonga; and Bunjil the eagle, an ancestral being”.

He told councillors, shire officers and members of the public at the council meeting in Rosebud Memorial Hall last week that the painting could also be viewed upside down, which brought laughter.

After the painting’s presentation, shire officers Peter Sibly of the social planning and community development department, and Aboriginal support and development policy officer Glenys Watts told councillors the shire had been widely praised for its active involvement in Reconciliation for more than a decade through community development,

Wave to Wonga: A painting presented to the shire council to mark a decade of its support of Reconciliation was inspired by surrealist Salvador Dali. Pictures courtesy Mornington Peninsula Shire

social support, advocacy, leadership, partnerships and policy development and implementation, social planning, promotion of cultural awareness, and cultural heritage protection.

They said the shire was one of the top 12 municipalities promoting Reconciliation and had received a high commendation from the Victorian Local Governance Association and Reconciliation Victoria.

It was listed among the top three municipalities in Victoria for its support of Reconciliation activities, and its website “was considered one of the most informative and best designed in Victoria”.

Councillors voted to reaffirm the shire’s commitment to Reconciliation, support of the Aboriginal gathering place Willum Warrain at Hastings, continue its engagement with traditional owners over cultural heritage and caring

for country, and seek more resources to expand cultural heritage management planning. They also backed ongoing support of the Tjaegan Wilson-Blow Benevolence Trust to assist young Aboriginal boys and girls. Funding for the implementation of the Reconciliation Action Plan would be “subject to external funding and council’s annual budget considerations”.

Gritty wrestle with unmade car parks Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE shire has more than 250 unsealed car parks and asphalting the 25 at the top of a newly created priority list could take up to 15 years and cost $10 million.

These and other mind-boggling statistics were presented to the council at its 25 May meeting in Rosebud when councillors wrestled with the usefulness or otherwise of the shire’s new “Unmade car park construction strategy”.

A large number of resident complaints are generated by unsealed car parks scattered throughout the 720-square kilometre shire with its 42 townships.

Residents ring and complain about potholes. They complain about dust in summer and mud in winter; about people in wheelchairs getting stuck in ruts and holes, and toddlers falling over uneven ground Half the so-called top 25 are in commercial areas and could be financed by a “special charge scheme” where traders would pay a levy but the shire won’t force this on towns; it’s too unpopular and many traders would struggle to pay.

The shire’s team leader of infrastructure planning Ross Gregory faced a

grilling from councillors as they batted for their own wards and debating the strategy’s merits.

Mr Gregory said there were 25 category A car parks and 20 in category B that the shire intended to seal. Others would continue to be graded and have gravel laid.

Two councillors were miffed the “live matrix” listing car parks had spelling, address and status errors. Mr Gregory said they would be fixed.

Cr Lynn Bowden of Watson Ward (Somerville, Baxter, Tyabb) asked Mr Gregory how they had been ranked.

“Any particular car parks?” he asked.

“Yes, all the ones in my ward,” she said to laughter.

Cr Bowden said residents had given up asking for car parks to be sealed as nothing ever happened. She was concerned well-used car parks like the one at Baxter Primary School were low on the list. “Certainly the parents using this car park would not agree with it being at number 38,” she said. Other councillors questioned the ranking of car parks in their patches.

Mr Gregory’s boss Alison Leighton walked across the hall and sat beside him as the councillors’ questions kept coming, some more stridently asked than others.

“We’ve had an extensive engage-

ment process involving traders and other members of the community,” she said firmly. “We considered a whole range of factors when putting the priority list together.”

There had been an extensive consultation process to develop the strategy – a workshop for officers, two councillor briefings, a workshop with users of unsealed car parks, and public exhibition of the draft strategy.

She said it was a “live document” and the order of car parks could be changed by the council. “We’re presenting the methodology to councillors tonight.” This was Ms Leighton being polite and implying councillors should give Mr Gregory a break.

Cr Hugh Fraser said if the shire sealed two car parks a year as was currently occurring it would take 125 years to complete them.

Cr David Gibb said many of the car parks were associated with schools on council-owned and Education Department land.

A staunch foe of cost shifting, he said the shire should not be sealing school car parks as it was a state government responsibility.

He said the Education Department had a policy of not spending money on footpaths for schools let alone car parks.

Category C car parks would never be sealed.

Cr Tim Rodgers said the strategy was like the shire’s pavilion strategy and the toilet strategy – too much money was being spent on two few facilities.

He wanted the list to be rejigged and car parks categorised according to how much work was needed to bring them up to scratch. Some might need minor work and “we could do a number in a short time”, he said.

Cr Andrew Dixon called on his colleagues to approve the strategy. It went through 6-4.

THE 48th Flinders Art Show will be held on the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend, Saturday 6-8 June.

Profits from the annual show go to charities and community groups all over the Mornington Peninsula. More than $160,000 has been distributed over the past six years.

A highlight of the show is opening night, where visitors can be among the first to view artworks, meet some of the artists and, possibly, buy an entry. Radio man Neil Mitchell is MC again this year.

Opening night is 7-10pm, Friday 5 June. Tickets are $30 at the door, which includes canapés and door prizes.

General entrance over the weekend is 10am-4pm, Saturday 6 June and Sunday 7 June, and 10am-2pm, Monday 8 June. Entry is $5. There is no charge for children aged Under 16.

Judges are Robert Lindsay and Wendy Garden. Internationally acclaimed equine artist Lyn Beaumont will judge the Equine section.

Wine weekend Reduced speeds NEW speed limits now apply to parks of Cook and Wood streets, Flinders.

Limits have been cut to 50kph in Cook Street between Stokes and Wood streets and 60kph east of Boneo Rd to Stokes St. The 80kph buffer zone in Wood St between Boyds Rd and Rest Drive has been replaced with a “60kph ahead” sign.

Signs advising of the changes will be in place during the first week of June.

THE Winter Wine weekend is also held at Red Hill Showgrounds over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. It will open with an exhibition and tasting at the Winter Wine Fest, 11am-4pm, Saturday 6 June.

Entry to the Winter Wine Fest is $70 at the door (or $65 pre booked) and includes a Riedel wine glass, wine tastings, two entrée size dishes and a tasting book, which includes all wines on exhibition.

Bell rings for teacher A GUARD-of-honour by his former pupils formed a fitting retirement send off for Eastbourne Primary School teacher Paul Anderson.

The 59-year-old, who has taught every class from Grade 3 up at the school in Allambi Av, Rosebud, will now take it easy, doing volunteer driving for Peninsula Transport Assist and helping with Food For All on the peninsula.

Mr Anderson spent 39 years in the public school education system and 29 at Eastbourne where his popularity among pupils, staff and parents was well known.

“Paul’s team approach and dedication to all students will make him a hard person to replace,” principal Stephen Wilkinson said.

“He has taught in all areas of the school and has experienced many changes to the physical environment at Eastbourne Primary School, the establishment of many great programs and the stronger emphasis on accountability to the school community.

“His dedication to Eastbourne Primary School extends to his volunteering to assist with the grounds now he has retired.”

Fond memories came flooding back on the day of his retirement: “My son was due to be born on the very day I started at Eastbourne in 1986,” he said.

“Luckily he held off for two weeks to allow me to settle in.

“It’s been a great school in which to work, and I’ve got on well with all the staff and the kids. I want to thank

them for their help and support over all those years.

“There are no teacher cliques at Eastbourne, we all worked well together, and the kids seemed to appreciate what we do. It’s been wonderful to see them click with an idea and develop it – it gives you a wonderful

feeling.”

Mr Anderson was also involved in physical education and the school’s swimming program.

He’s now looking forward to spending more time wife Debbie, who is also retired after a teaching career at Mornington.

Teacher’s app to connect schools and staff Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ROSEBUD Primary School teacher Evan Rutherford has come up with a handy resource for teachers and schools called EzStaff.

The IT teacher put his technological knowledge to good use by designing app to easily and efficiently connect schools with available casual relief teachers.

“I designed EzStaff to assist both teachers and schools,” Mr Rutherford said, who lives at Tootgarook. “Teachers get to choose where they work while dictating their own availability and how far they want to travel from home.

“Schools can browse each teacher’s profile, match their skills and experience to the school’s needs, and then book them quickly, without fuss and, importantly, at no cost.”

As a relief teacher manager, Mr Ru-

therford saw the need for the app after becoming frustrated with the early morning “ring around” to find teacher replacements. He wanted to make the booking process more user friendly and save teachers and schools valuable time and money in the process.

It is believed that school electives such as drama, IT and music are threatened by the shortage of casual relief teachers – an issue the app could help overcome.

Mr Rutherford says he is excited that the Mornington Peninsula is the first region to benefit from his innovative idea and says that the response from schools and teachers over the first few weeks has been “very encouraging”.

A teething problem – hopefully short term - is that there a too few casual teachers registered on the app, reducing its effectiveness.

Casual relief teachers and schools ican register or find out how to use the app at EzStaff.com.au

Mix and match: Evan Rutherford’s web-based tool eases early morning ‘ring around’ for relief teachers.

Hopes for a free ride crushed FIVE unregistered motorbikes have been destroyed after being seized by police.

The vehicles were among nine minibikes, motorbikes and one motorised scooter impounded under an amendment to a Mornington Peninsula local law that imposes a $500 release fee.

Just four of the motorbikes were reclaimed by their owners who came from Hastings, Bittern, Crib Point, Ty-

abb, Rosebud and Mornington.

“None of the bikes crushed were able to be registered as they were not in a roadworthy condition,” Claire Smith, the shire’s environment protection and community safety manager, said.

Police were given power to seize the unregistered recreational vehicles when the shire changed its local law in 2014.

“Our top priority is community safe-

ty, and to deter illegal and dangerous behaviour. It is unfortunate some people still choose to do the wrong thing,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said.

Cr David Garnock said illegal use of unregistered recreational vehicles was dangerous.

“Riding unregistered recreational motorbikes without the proper safety equipment on land not designed for the purpose is not only dangerous, but also

offenders can risk losing their bike or facing a fine,” he said.

“The illegal use of these bikes is also dangerous in the broader community, and can cause property damage or present a threat to people.”

The illegal use of recreational vehicles can be reported by calling 000 during the event, or information can be given by calling 1800 333 000 or the Hoon Hotline on 1800 664 666.

Formal letters under seal from the shire council were presented to 11 residents at the council meeting in Rosebud on Monday 25 May. The Anzac Centenary marks the departure of the first Australian and New Zealand troops to fight in Europe and 100 years since the ill-fated landings at Gallipoli.

State’s port lease plan pushes Hastings back 50 years Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Opposition is accusing the state government of lying over its claim to be searching for the best site for Victoria’s second container port.

The Labor government has all but backed away from choosing Western Port and is overseeing the slow demise of the Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA).

And now, with its intention of leasing the Port of Melbourne for 50 years with a guarantee of compensation if there is competition from another major port, the government appears to have abandoned its plan for another container port.

The greatly diminished PoHDA says it is investigating investment opportunities for Hastings to become a “bulk port�, but imports of petroleum products and exports of LNG have dropped markedly in the past two decades. (See ‘Port planner slashes jobs’, Page x) “Labor lied to both the Western Port and Geelong communities prior to last year's state election when it assured them both it would take genuine expert advice [from Infrastructure Victoria] on where Victoria's next port and the thousands and thousands of jobs that would be created with it, should be

located,� Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess said last week. “Labor has told lie after lie in order to further its selfish political objectives. “In a complete contradiction of everything it has had to say over the last decade about our state's desperate need for a second container port, Labor did what it always does when private enterprise turns up with a bag of money - it got giddy and fell over. “Instead of the thousands of jobs that would be created and tens of thousands of Victorian jobs that would be protected through maintaining our state's logistics' industry national leadership, Labor wants to trade our state's future away for a short term financial fix.�

The previous Coalition government, of which Mr Burgess was a member, had promised the PoDHA $110 million of four years to plan for a port at Hastings.

The authority is estimated to have already spent $30 million, but the money has all but dried up with the passing of Labor’s first budget.

Mornington MP David Morris told The News that dredging Port Phillip for large ships “in 20, 30 or 40 years� would make the 2008 channel deepening project “look very small scale�.

On Thursday he told Parliament ships were “growing beyond the ca-

pacity of Port Phillip Heads�.

He said the previous Labor government had wasted so much time that Hastings, could not be developed to meet the demands of international shipping and “the only action left ‌ was to deepen the Port Phillip Headsâ€?. “Here we are again, only a decade on, and we have a new Labor government confidently expecting that the Heads will be able to sustain our trade for 50 years,â€? Mr Morris said. “There can only be two outcomes from this policy decision: either Melbourne will surrender its role in trade to the rest of Australia or Port Phillip Heads will be deepened again and again. Any way you look at it, it is a bad decision.â€?

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer sees the decision to not develop a container port at Hastings as a further economic blow to the region. “After six months under Labor the south-east Melbourne region is going backwards, with major road, rail and now freight projects being scrapped, and the peninsula environment and tourism industry again under threat from dredging,� Cr Mayer said.

In the lead up to last November’s state election the then mayor Cr Darrel Taylor was touting Frankston as being ideally situated as the proposed port’s commercial hub.

Much has changed in the following six months and Cr Mayer is now calling on the government to make “a serious injection of funds from the Jobs and Investment Fund and the Regional Jobs Fund into the south-east Melbourne region, or else our residents will have every right to feel forgotten about after helping deliver Labor into power�.

Opposition leader Matthew Guy said the Liberal National Coalition supports leasing of the Port of Melbourne “in conjunction with the development of a second container port for Victoria�.

Mr Guy’s statement was released along with quotes from present ministers and the Premier Daniel Andrews when they too backed Hastings or Bay West, near Geelong in Port Phillip, for a container port. “That’s why it makes no sense that Daniel Andrews now says Victoria won’t need a second container port for at least 50 years,� Mr Guy stated. To prohibit the development of a second container port for the next 50 years is highly irresponsible, anti-competitive and will cost Victoria jobs. “What Daniel Andrews is effectively doing is providing a leaseholder with a 50 year monopoly.�

New party’s display A NEW political party formed in April is holding an information session at Frankston 5-6pm on Tuesday 9 June in Frankston Library’s long room, 60 Playne St. The national convener of PIBCI (Public Interests Before Corporate Interests) is Dr Joe Toscano, a medical practitioner with a history of political activism who stood as an independent in the Frankston electorate at last year’s state election.

The meeting has been organised by Frankston resident Gillian Collins, an environmental campaigner and co-organiser of the 12-week picket that tried to stop bulldozing of part of the historic Westerfield estate in Frankston South for the Peninsula Link freeway in 2010.

Dr Toscano has campaigned on issues such as Medicare, the ABC, public housing, corporate welfare, and indigenous matters.

PIBCI’s website states the party aims “to ensure the interests of the Australian public are put before the interests of unaccountable corporations whose major responsibility is to create everincreasing profits for their major shareholders, irrespective of the human, social, environmental and national costs�.

Port planner slashes jobs Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au STAFF numbers have been cut to 14 at the Port of Hastings Development Authority.

The latest cuts are in line with the Labor government’s aim of hearing from Infrastructure Victoria before deciding on a site for the state’s second container port.

While falling short of formally abandoning Hastings, this latest move is likely to leave a significant vacuum in the forward planning policies of the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston.

The Port of Hastings Development Authority has all but been left out of the latest state budget and must rely on ever decreasing revenues from port operator, Patricks Stevedores.

In the lead up to last November’s election Labor stated that its preferred location for a new container port was in Port Phillip, at Bay West near Geelong.

The previous Coalition government had favoured Western Port and planned to spend $110 million over four years to plan for the container port at Hastings. Municipalities climbed aboard, with seven councils in south east Melbourne commissioning a study that put the total cost of the port at $16 billion.

Frankston, which has promoted itself as the logical commercial hub of the proposed port, has condemned the government’s lack of interest in developing a container port at Hastings.

Former Mornington Peninsula

Boom times: Less than one year ago the expanding team of staff at the Port of Hastings Development Authority was celebrating the leasing of new offices in High St, Hastings. They were joined by Hastings MP Neale Burgess (who unveiled a plaque inside the offices), standing third from right with the authority’s CEO Mike Lean. Staff numbers are now down to 14 and most of the office space will go unused. Picture: Gary Sissons

mayor mayor Cr Antonell Celi dubbed Labor’s plan for a new container port near Geelong “fundamentally flawed".

Her decision last August to enter the battle over the site for Melbourne’s next container port came a month after Victoria University researchers issued a warning that Western Port may not be the best option for a new container port.

The Build it – but will they come? report cast doubts on the need for a port to accommodate the world’s largest ships.

Undeterred, real estate agents at Hastings continued spruiking a coming boom and predicted an expanded port would bring jobs and prosperity.

Two weeks ago the boom balloon burst as the authority slashed staff to 14, from 32 at the start of the week and a high of nearly 100 a year ago.

Ports Minister Luke Donnellan gave assurance that the port – with an expected 50 ship visits this year – “will continue to operate as a port for the export of oil products and LPG, and the import of unleaded fuels”.

He said the development authority would continue to manage day-to-day operations of the port “and to chase further investment opportunities”.

Environmentalists will be watching to ensure that exporting coal will not be on that list of opportunities.

Revenue for the authority from Patricks Stevedores has been in steady decline, with annual ship visits dropping from a peak of 600 20 years ago to less than 50 this year.

“Port management requires a smaller workforce and budget consistent with its revised work program. The authority will reduce from its current size of 30 staff to 14 staff,” Mr Donnellan said.

Before the establishment of the development authority its predecessor had a staff of four.

Mr Donnellan said the contractual obligations of staff made redundant had been met. As previously reported staff have several times been kept busy

helping community groups plant mangroves on Western Port’s tidal mud flats (‘Budget’s $80m blow to port’, The News 19/5/15.

“The government’s port policy is clear. The government will obtain advice from Infrastructure Victoria on the preferred location for Victoria’s second container port, including an assessment of both Hastings and Bay West,” Mr Donnellan said.

Frankston Council will start a campaign “to highlight that the council will not accept the Bay West port as a viable option and the possible environmental and economic impacts to the Frankston City Council from significant and unnecessary dredging of the bay”.

The council will write to Mr Donnellan, the Premier Daniel Andrews and Opposition Leader Matthew Guy stressing its concerns at the Port of Hastings not being developed as the state’s second port.

A report commissioned in 2014 by Mornington Peninsula, Frankston, Kingston, Casey, Greater Dandenong, Cardinia and Bass Coast councils saw the port as a bonanza for jobs and manufacturing.

The report says the port would have a beneficial economic impact of an average of $60 million a year in gross regional product over 30 years; providing an average 400 jobs a year over that same time frame.

It says the expanded port would lead to an extra 5700 jobs by the mid2030s and 15,200 jobs by the early 2050s.

Morning tea with a purpose A GROUP of businesswomen sat around for chat and cup of tea on Thursday. But instead of gathering to network ideas and talk shop, they were out to raise money and awareness of cancer.

“The day is as much about each supporting each other in our community as it is about supporting the Cancer Council. We are thrilled to be coming together as peninsula women to support this great cause, and thank the Cancer Council for all the wonderful work it does in our community in so many ways,” organiser Jo Violeta,

moderator of the Facebook community Mornington Peninsula Business Women, said.

“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if you are a successful businesswoman, a working mum juggling part time work or someone who keeps things tickling along in your family – if you are touched by cancer you need all the help you can get.”

The Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event at The Green Room, Dromana, raised money through its $10 entry fee, auctions and raffles.

Opinions run hot over hand-held rubbish Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A RYE mother’s complaint about her daughters being made to pick up rubbish in the schoolyard has collected plenty of comment on social media.

Messages posted on the Facebook page of the Mornington Peninsula News Group (publisher of The News) ran hot with comments for and against – well, mostly against –Lisa Stone.

pick up litter “with their bare hands” in the grounds of Rye Primary School.

She acknowledged collecting rubbish and keeping the grounds free of rubbish was an important way to teach children pride in their environment, but was “not willing to risk my daughter’s health in the process”.

Out of more than 100 comments on Facebook, most were unsympathetic: “Cotton wool mothering”, “helicopter parenting”, “get a grip”, “too precious” and “Oh, what a princess”.

On the plus side, Emma Prendergast said “cleaners are paid to pick up rubbish. Children are there to be taught.

Period”.

Chantelle Lee Granger: “I would just tell my child not to pick the rubbish up - simple; don't pick it up there’s no problem.”

Julie Ceschin had the last word: “According to opinion poll ... the ‘get over it’ wins.”

A selection of what preceded that assessment: Vicki Melzer: “Build a bridge and get over it, we all did it as kids.”

Maree Ryan: “Quick, call a waaaaaaambulance.”

Petrina Swagemakers: “I helped cook a bbq at my kid’s primary school years ago and grabbed the bucket of tongs ... How was I to know they

were for rubbish pick up lol ... 200 sausages... 0 deaths.”

Chantal Lewis: “Pretty sure that's how we had to pick it up back in the 80s lol. Toughen up princess!”

Jan Dickson: “Oh for god’s sake!!

What is wrong with parenting these days?? I can't believe some of the ridiculous things parents complain about. Get a grip.”

Wendy Clements: “Look lady, we did it when we were kids and it didn't hurt us. Grow up and stop wrapping your kid in cotton wool. That's why they get sick.”

Lynne Otter: “It never hurt us back in the day. Kids are more likely to

pick up germs from just playing in the school yard than they are by picking up rubbish with bare hands. Teach them to put rubbish in the bin in the first place and wash their hands problem solved!”

Clyde Ditch Dunkley: “Oh no, the world is going to end cotton wool kids.”

Megs Alyce-rose: “Yeah ... what's the problem? I'm sure if it was unsafe the teachers wouldn't allow it.”

Emma Louise: “Yes, you are at school to learn, learn as much as you can and picking up rubbish is actually teaching your kid something. So wake up. Wash your hands after, no big deal.”

Portsea erosion: laws of nature ignored COMMENT

By Jenny Warfe PHOTOS of recent erosion at Portsea beach show what happens when supposed experts ignore the fundamental laws of nature, and continue to throw millions of dollars of taxpayers’ funds at Bandaid “solutions” to complex issues.

Sadly, these costly and useless efforts have been driven by government feeling it must respond to the shrill demands from various vested interests to “do something” to save the beach.

Well, it hasn’t worked so what now?

These hapless, ill-informed works to mitigate the damage have “hardened up” the coastline with sandbags and rocks, but have just moved the problem down to the next section of sandy beach and dunes, which are now collapsing. It’s pretty sad that the supposed experts in our environmental and planning departments seem oblivious to what Sir Isaac Newton worked out 350 years ago (Third Law) – that for every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Energy is never destroyed it is merely transformed or moved.

Until experts get their heads around that immutable, fundamental law of nature, and understand we must work with and not against nature, and not just react to calls to “do something”, they will be throwing good money after bad. We will destroy what remains of our natural coastal beauty, and the vested interests will still be demanding that governments “do something”.

The millions of dollars spent have had no impact on the twofold problem for government: retaining their image

of being competent, and actually doing something to arrest the damage. It hasn’t improved their image as competent at managing our coastal assets and it certainly hasn’t improved Portsea beach. Indeed, the beach has got worse and worse. It has all but disappeared, and what’s left is ugly, unsafe and certainly not worthy of a visit from all those tourists that the state government and Mornington Peninsula Shire seem to think are the backbone of our local economy.

There is no logical end point to this multimillion dollar hardening up of our coastline. If we continue with this outmoded logic, how long before we have a wall of masonry right around Port Phillip? It’s time to bite the bullet and resolve that there will be no more projects that attempt to re-arrange and push back against nature. Our efforts from now on must go towards restoring nature and the protections that it provides to us. And there will be plenty of jobs – and in my opinion more satisfying and worthwhile ones – if we turn over that new leaf.

Since channel deepening ended in 2009, successive state governments have spent millions of taxpayers’ dollars trying to retain some beach at Portsea, desperately trying to come up with consultants’ reports that do not draw the increasingly obvious conclusion that it has all gone horribly wrong since the substantial deepening at Port Phillip Heads during the Channel Deepening Project (2008–09).

And, it is also possible that the CDP may have not only contributed to the erosion, but also impeded subsequent recovery of the beach. One brave consultant (Water Technology, March

2013) estimated that the CDP dredging had produced “significant” local increases in significant wave height of 7-10 per cent, and wave energy density of 15-20 per cent, at Portsea’s front beach. The CSIRO (April 2013) found it was “conceivable that the CDP may have increased the height of waves impacting the beach at Portsea and therefore some degree of attribution to the CDP is possible”. It’s notable that the tender for the 12-month and latest study awarded by the government in June 2014 was not given to Water Technology, which could have built on the work it had already undertaken.

Port Phillip Conservation Council is advocating that before any further dredging in Port Phillip and especially at The Heads occurs (as mooted if the “Bay West” port expansion proceeds) a study of sea levels in Port Phillip for the 20 years 1995-2015 should be undertaken to compare sea levels preceding the CDP (1995-2008) with sea levels since then (2009-2015) for Victorian tide gauge stations inside and outside Port Phillip. We recently wrote to Premier Daniel Andrews to request that such a study be undertaken.  The writer is spokesperson of Blue Wedges Coalition, formed to oppose the Port Phillip Channel Deepening Project in 2008-09, and a member of Port Phillip Conservation Council.

The fall and rise of James His half dozen steps to $240,000

We never expect to be in an accident, especially something as simple as a fall in a public space. But as we get older, these types of accidents can become a more common occurrence, so it is important that we know what to do when they happen.

There are some basic steps you should follow if you do experience a fall in a public space:

The 6 Basic Steps 1. Look to see what has caused you to fall 2. Take a photo of what caused you to fall (mobile phones are great for this) 3. Get the names of all witnesses to the accident 4. Report the fall to those responsible for the public space 5. Do not sign any document (especially a Release) that may be given to you by those responsible for the public space

As he got up from his chair at a table, James stepped out and missed a step leading from the platform where he had CFFO TJUUJOH UP UIF NBJO nPPS PG UIF QVC He suffered a nasty injury to his right ankle which left him with considerable limitations, including the inability to walk freely and the need for ongoing medical care and family support.

6. See a Personal Injury Lawyer as soon as possible.

5. He reported the fall to the security guard at the pub

If you follow these basic steps, you will tremendously enhance the opportunity to obtain compensation for any injuries suffered in the fall. Such was the experience of James who had a serious fall at a pub while having a drink with his wife.

Ouch!

When you think about insurance premiums, you start to realise it’s really just your money being collected to safeguard against unfortunate accidents in the future. That money is then pooled with other premiums, invested and sits waiting to be used when needed. So when accidents happen - as they inevitably do - it’s simply a matter of moving the money back from the insurance company to the person who now needs it most... you.

At Henry Carus, we know what you’re entitled to, we know the system and we know what you deserve. It needn’t be combative if it is handled as an intelligent, informed process that moves the money back into your hands, in the amount you need and deserve.

LETTERS Silent challenge I would like to support Greg Dixon’s comments (“Develop for jobs”, Letters, The News, 26/5/15). He has logically reminded us of the opportunities that are being lost on the Mornington Peninsula because of the selfish attitude of residents who are stuck in a time warp and are frightened of change. I have personally been affected by this attitude in Mt Eliza where minority resident groups are significantly influencing council and political decisions while claiming to be the voice of the majority.

While Greg’s suggestion of public moratoriums is commendable I do not believe they will work. My experience has shown the resident minority groups are dominated by retirees with time to kill. They appear to network with similar groups across the peninsula and I believe would dominate any moratorium.

Our challenge is to make the silent majority (90 per cent) aware of what is happening and to motivate them into action. I find it interesting that our local state and federal MPs have been part of the campaign in Mt Eliza that is preventing growth and employment opportunities.

Per Carlsen, Mt Eliza

Destructive development Greg Dixon’s letter (“Develop for jobs”, Letters, The News, 25/5/15) strengthened in my belief that the way we run the world now will surely lead to the complete destruction of our natural environment and, with that, a very slow and sad end to our species on this planet.

I believe a development at any cost attitude is mind-numbingly stupid.

Yes we can have some development in infrastructure for tourism on the peninsula but, and that is the big rider, if it comes always at the expense of the environment – like the over-thetop development of the Arthurs Seat gondola or the overdevelopment at the RACV resort in Cape Schanck, or the mega development of a port at Hastings – any sane person on the peninsula would say no.

When we have wall-to-wall housing and industry on the peninsula, no one will want to come here anymore and the magnificent Western Port world heritage wetlands will be a thing of the past.

Of course with all these changes, the tourism jobs will finally be destroyed as well.

It is not inevitable that we have to choose a change for the worst, as Mr Dixon advocates, but we can have a healthy environment and jobs for the future. But only if we realise that we need to create jobs in new industries like alternative energy production, in high-tech and researchbased jobs. Just think of a “Silicon Valley” on all that industrial land north of Hastings.

This of course is almost impossible under the mind set of our present federal government, whose leader thinks climate change is crap. Mr Dixon would be well advised to have a go at the present leadership in Canberra and impress on them not to keep wasting our money on old and dirty means of electricity production.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Welfare reminders Why does your paper insist on reporting the whereabouts of animals in situations where they are vulnerable to those who would do them

harm, in this instance seals under the pier? On previous occasions articles such as this one have resulted in animals being subjected to torture and subsequent death.

Claire Thonemann, Mornington Editor: In most instances the paper is alerted to the whereabouts of a seal by authorities or animal welfare groups that want members of the public reminded about animal protection laws.

Budget backlash I have come to the conclusion that the Labor Party, The Greens and the minor parties should pass the current federal budget without delay.

Let the Australian people experience the full horror of this nasty, vengeful policy agenda of this conservative government, which mistakenly calls itself the Liberal Party.

As always under the conservatives, it’s the vulnerable, the poor and the most disadvantaged who will suffer from these policies, be it pensioners, single-income families or the chronically ill, to name a few.

By the time the next election is due, the people who voted for this mob will be thoroughly disillusioned with them once the full extent of these policies are implemented.

The Liberal Party should be voted out comprehensively. Team Australia under Captain Abbott your policies are not in my name.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Thanks for advice The investigative skills on display by David Harrison (Council Watch, The News, 19/5/15) are a blessing to us all.

Without his surprisingly thorough analysis (and I’ve just submitted my last university research essay) we councillors would never have discovered the folly of our actions. Without his informative column adroitly deploying an online home loan repayment calculator, I’d have had no idea that it costs more in interest to pay off a loan over a longer period of time.

It’s something I really should know. If current trends continue, my generation and those that follow are unlikely to find a home on the Mornington Peninsula for under $1 million.

Perhaps I should’ve majored in finance.

It used to be that you’d have to trawl through archives of old periodicals and piles of textbooks in order to sufficiently prepare and reference a paper. You have my thanks, Mr Harrison, for showing me that quality analysis takes but a click of the mouse.

Andrew Dixon, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor

Council changes The resolutions passed by council last Monday complete a suite of procedural reforms implemented by council since the Red Hill Ward by-election last year.

Community council meetings are now to be held once a year in each of the six wards and an informal agenda committee of councillors has been abolished as past its use by date eliminating cumbersome hard copy administrative procedures.

Planning matters not decided by officers under delegation have now been streamlined into council meetings on alternate Mondays and the Development Assessments Committee has

been abolished. I can see no reason why council would depart from any rule or practice of that committee enabling persons to make verbal submissions to council on a planning matter.

These resolutions build on earlier resolutions of council in October 2014 and March 2015 abolishing the Special Purposes Committee and introducing measures to promote greater transparency in dealing with matters of council business which fell within the statutory definition of confidential items but which did not actually contain confidential information.

Council has also put in place an orderly, regular system of alternate Monday briefings and council meetings not before 5pm. Council has resolved that all briefings are to be in writing except with the leave of the mayor, and measures were introduced by council to ensure brevity and conciseness of briefings.

Equally importantly, council’s resolution of October 2014 put in place a simple procedure enabling a ward councillor quickly to call in a ward planning application by a simple email to be dealt with, not by officers under delegation, but by councillors in council. This new procedure replaced a cumbersome Notice of Motion procedure unacceptably delaying the determination of the planning matter.

Council meeting procedures and briefings have been simplified and regularised. A multilayered complex of council committees has been dismantled and the community will now be able to review the whole suite of council business at one fortnightly public, open and transparent council meeting.

Hugh Fraser, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor

Foreshore handover When Mornington Peninsula Shire took over the management of the foreshore (it seems like an eternity ago), there was great fanfare with photos showing a councillor and a couple of directors walking around like a conquering army surveying their spoils. They threw in a horde of contracted manpower, equipped with mowers and the masses were hoodwinked into thinking the shire was going to do a good job.

Fast forward to a few months ago when, on the apparent say-so of a couple of councillors and Rosebud Bowling Club, the little park in central Rosebud was decimated because “people didn’t know the park or, apparently, the bowling club was there”.

A shire officer told me that the shire has selected areas where it is responsible and the rest of the foreshore is left to fend for itself.

When Parks Victoria had control of the foreshore it was all maintained, not just pockets.

If the shire can’t handle the responsibility of the entire foreshore, perhaps it should hand it back to someone more responsible.

adults and children as well as unwanted knitting wool can be left at any peninsula branch of the Bendigo Bank. All donations go to Southern Peninsula Food For All and on to needy peninsula families. Many thanks to our knitters and blanket donors, more are welcome.

Volunteers denied As a result of several complaints about the poor conditions for animals at the Mornington Community Animal Shelter, volunteers have now been banned for most of the day since mid-February. Is this an appropriate way for Mornington Peninsula Shire to treat its hardworking and valuable volunteers?

Shame on you, shire bureaucrats, for caring more about money than the poor, defenceless animals in your shelter.

Rosy Fischer, Mornington

Thanks for support On behalf of the Leukaemia Foundation and Victorian families living with blood cancer, I would like to thank the readers of your publication for their generous support of World’s Greatest Shave in 2015.

Thousands of people across the state made good on their pledge to lose their hair for a little while to help others for a long while. It confirms what we already know – Victorians are a generous bunch who will do everything they can to help a mate.

Like in previous years of the campaign, we were again inspired by the diversity of people who signed up and their reasons for taking part.

One milestone celebrated this year was that of 56-year-old Michael Lewis who shaved his head for the 13th time at Federation Square during our official weekend. Michael said shaving was a light-hearted way he could show solidarity for people going through cancer treatment.

Incredibly, over the past 14 years Michael has raised more than $160,000 for World’s Greatest Shave to help continue the search for cures and to support families.

This year about 3000 people in Victoria will have their lives changed by the diagnosis of blood cancer. World’s Greatest Shave is the Leukaemia Foundation’s most important fundraiser, the money raised will be used to find life-saving treatments and provide free, emotional and practical support such as accommodation for regional families who need to move to the city for treatment.

Thanks to shave supporters in Victoria, more than $3.3 million has been raised toward our $3.95 million goal. We encourage your readers that it’s not too late to be part of this powerful movement to beat blood cancer.

You can sign up and participate in the coming weeks or simply make a donation to World’s Greatest Shave at worldsgreatestshave.com or by calling 1800 500 088.

Seeing double on court TWO sets of Mornington Peninsula twins are busy training for an Under 16 national basketball tournament to be played in Ulverstone, Tasmania, over the coming school holidays.

The four have played for the Southern Peninsula Sharks since 2009 and their good form has elevated them to the Victoria Country state team.

Stephen and Matthew Cumming, and Jai and Reid Nanscawen, also play football together for Rosebud and have all been members of the

Stingrays Under15 squad. They stepped aside from football this term to concentrate on their Country Victoria basketball commitments.

“The boys are best mates and they all have that mysterious ‘twin connection’ on the court,” dad Craig Nanscawen said.

“These boys are amazing to watch and it’s likely they’ll be choosing between basketball and football one day soon.”

Thieves go window shopping DRIVERS who think it’s OK to leave handbags, wallets or money in cars parked in residential streets or driveways should think again.

That’s the advice from police on the Mornington Peninsula who are frustrated that thefts from vehicles are on the rise again - with almost 70 offences committed in a recent three-week period.

“Most of these vehicles were left unsecured with money and valuables clearly on display,” Detective Acting Sergeant Rob Vine, of Rosebud CIU, said.

“We are seeing many thefts where thieves are particularly looking for mobile phones, wallets and handbags which contain identification and credit cards, which they then use to commit further fraud offences. It has a significant flow-on effect.

“They really do need to consider the inconvenience and related costs of having a smashed car window repaired, and replacing stolen items, as well as then potentially having to deal with a credit card fraud.”

Police say offenders look for easy pickings inside vehicles. “If they see something through the window they will go for it. We are actively investigating and pursuing offenders responsible for these thefts, but we would also greatly appreciate the co-operation of the public by not leaving valuables inside their vehicles and making sure they are always locked.

School banks on community for hall IN the early 2000s, Tootgarook Primary School took matters into its own hands “rather than sit back” and watch school buildings became overused and run down.

Current principal Wayne Whitworth says the school looked for a “community partner” to help build “a community facility that would allow the entire school and its local community to meet safely from hazards and inclement weather”.

The school asked for $300,000 from the Rye branch of the Bendigo Community Bank, which had been running for two years.

The bank’s manager Gary Sanford said the bank was unable to provide all the money but said it could give $30,000 a year over a decade “to enable the construction, fitout and

landscaping of the community building”.

Since its completion in 2007, the hall has been used for a range of activities from music lessons, band practise, Zumba classes and a breakfast club for students to annual events such as a talent show, end-of-year barbecue, senior disco and graduation ceremonies.

Mr Whitworth said that without the hall the school’s buildings would have been “overburdened and enrolments would have decreased in what is now a very competitive market”.

Mr Sanford said the bank was looking for another “unique and exciting community project” to take on when its commitment to Tootgarook primary ended in early 2017.

Frustration, accusations, effective politicking

By David Harrison Mornington Peninsula Shire community council meeting, Rosebud Memorial Hall, 25 May 2015. No personal account can be given of the meal, but it was up to the usual high standard, according to usually reliable sources.

THIS is a Council Listen rather than a Council Watch, as your correspondent was absent from the meeting. But there’s always the shire’s recording, which is posted on its website a few days later. So let’s soak up the drama and atmosphere without actually having been there.

Unsealed car parks appeared a straightforward agenda item until it was pointed out the shire had more than 250 across the peninsula.

It is anticipated that one or two will be sealed each year. This means the task might be finished in 125 years (by 2140) and, at worst, it might take until the Year of Our Lord 2265 – 250 years hence – before the last one is sealed. Of course by then there may be no need for car parks, as the End of the World may have intervened.

Is this a realistic report to bring forward, officers were asked. To which the reply was that two car park categories, A and B, will be (so to speak) first cabs off the rank and, yes, they will be dealt with over a mere 20 years or so. It might be possible to “leverage” funds to speed the process.

After a number of items that covered topics such as Anzac Centenary books, CEO Carl Cowie’s monthly report, and third quarter budget review, it was Notice of Motion time, where the excitement can often start, especially if the NoM is authored

by Cr Hugh Fraser. Indeed this one was.

The first motion was to restrict community (meet your councillors) meetings to one annually for each of the six wards, a drop of four. Cr Tim Wood argued this was plenty. Cr Antonella Celi, speaking against the motion, said it was unfortunate that the issue was being discussed “on the fly-by”. There should first have been a respectful, collegiate discussion with colleagues.

The fewer “meet, greet and eat meetings” view prevailed 7-3 and the road show moved on.

The value of the agenda committee was put on the block. Cr Celi opposed its axing.

She confessed to “experiencing some severe confusion” with the intent of the motion. But axed it was.

We must now take flight above the fray to the denouement of the meeting – Cr Fraser’s move to abolish the development assessment committee (DAC) altogether and deal with planning requests at ordinary council meetings.

The calm was over: now the storm. It started with a query on whether the amended motion could be heard. It got the OK. A fierce cold front, in the formidable form of Cr Celi, then swept through the chamber. Followed by Cr Anne Shaw, with a rhetorical question followed by her answer replete with expressions such as “undermining”, “shame on you” “disrespect, contempt for the community”, “a joke, and so is anyone who supports it”. But little logic.

Cr Andrew Dixon started with a deep sigh, and then came a crescendo. He was lost for words. “It’s blowing my mind,” he said. “It’s just phenomenally ridiculous – it’s stupid.”

There would be too little time to assess a development at a council meeting, he said.

“We’ll give you 13 seconds each to put across your point of view … we’ll take it on board; mmm, yeah, no, yeah, no, eeny-meeny-mineymo, yeh, nuh, nuh, nuh, not going through...”

Then, addressing those favouring abolition: “That’s transparency for you, guys. We take our job seriously; I hope you guys still do as well.”

After this, a pause and a thumping noise,

as if the councillor’s mic was somehow malfunctioning, or possibly had fallen off the desk. CW could only imagine the scene in the chamber. [Editor: It was Cr Dixon headbutting his microphone with frustration.]

After him, Cr David Garnock, calmly: “This motion is in my opinion just another example of a kneejerk, poorly thought-out, ill-judged, personal crusade by one particular councillor who believes he has a mandate to make changes to this council’s operations without first discussing the implications or the justifications for proposed changes with his fellow councillors and shire officers.”

The motion was brought when the mover knew the numbers would be in his favour. “I found this to be disgraceful in the past and I find the strategy disgraceful tonight,” he said.

The vote was tied. Cr Graham Pittock used his casting vote to allow the matter to be debated.

There ensued more debate about the actual motion with its five parts, much of it directed at Cr Fraser, but it was inevitable the abolition of DAC was in the tumbrel en route to the guillotine. But there was a powerful, underlying message in all this, expressed most robustly by Crs Shaw, Celi, Garnock and David Gibb – a huge collective frustration that they no longer exercise the almost untrammelled power they possessed before Cr Wood’s election last August.

It was a spectacular upswelling, best expressed

by Cr Garnock’s accusation that Cr Fraser brought the matter to council when he knew he would be able to get it passed. Disgraceful!

Nothing of the sort. CW doubts this was part of Cr Fraser’s thought process. If it was, it was good politics, an exercise of the art of the possible.

(The gallery emptied at about 10.30pm and councillors discussed in private a couple of tenders – $305,787 (plus GST) to replace firedamaged Warringine Park boardwalk between Hastings and Bittern, and $1,234,264 (plus GST) for a major drainage project at Mornington.)

Art among the roses DESIGNER Barry Johnson in 2002 gave Mornington Rose Gardens at Civic Reserve a series of pathways to allow visitors to wander freely while exploring the wide variety of roses.

His design allowed for sculptural elements where the paths intersected – and that’s now the site for three colourful sculptural “trees” that stand tall among their vibrant orange petals.

Last year, Melbourne-based builder Atkinson Pontifex entered two gardens in the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. One, designed by Paul Bangay, was awarded the gold medal. The other, by architect Giovanni Veronesi and entitled “Emerge”, was dedicated to the charity Family Life. His tapered trees were sculptural elements, forming the centrepiece of his garden.

The three tapered “trunks” of different heights create the form of trees with brightly coloured orange petals radiating outward. This garden, with the sculptural trees as its showpiece, was awarded the silver show garden award.

With an eye to beauty and form, the Mornington Rose Gardens committee approached Atkinson Pontifex to discuss the idea of using the trees as a sculptural element in their gardens.

With the help of an anonymous donor and the company, it was agreed and the trees have been installed.

WHAT’S NEW

Sorrento Fine Art Gallery is relocating WELL known art establishment Sorrento Fine Art Gallery is relocating after 11 years. Promoting local and internationally renowned artist for over 20 years Rebecca is re-locating to bigger beautiful premises in Red Hill.

For something extremely different curator Rebecca Davy has decided to have a relocation sale.

“Most items in the gallery have been discounted, some up to 50% off,” said Rebecca. “The gallery has never held a sale like this, but after discussion with the artists, paintings, jewellery, ceramics, glass and more will be discounted until close at the end of June.”

The new premises will be opened in September and will promote local, Melbourne and

international artists. There will be a calendar of events including exhibitions, workshops, demonstrations, art talks, art lunches and much more. The gallery will be alongside a café with amazing deck views.

“But for now if you have a wall needing a painting or you need to stock up on gifts now is your opportunity to visit Sorrento Fine Art on the corner opposite the Koonya Hotel,” said Rebecca.

To keep in touch with what is happening now and after Sorrento Fine Art check out www. peninsulagalleries.com.au or check out Sorrento Fine Art on facebook.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Deadline reminders to ratepayers Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, for which they invite entries. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will offer for sale a good yarding of cattle, sheep and sundries. *** MR S. S. Price, dentist of Melbourne, will visit Frankston for the convenience of patients on Sunday, June 13th, and may be seen at Garrood’s Prince of Wales Hotel. *** MRS J. Reynolds, of Bay St Frankston has on view in the window a “towel tidy” which she intends raffling for the benefit of our wounded soldiers. As the price of the tickets are fixed at 1d and the object a praiseworthy one, there will doubtless be a large demand for them. *** THE tender of Mr R. Philbrick for £615 for additions to Somerville Mechanics’ Institute has been accepted, and the work will be put in hand very shortly, and when finished will add materially to the look of the building as well as to the comfort of the subscribers. Six tenders were received for the work. *** Rose Logan was charged at the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions on Monday, before Mr Cohen, P.M. and

Messrs Williams, Oates, and Grant, JPs., with travelling on the railway between Frankston and Langwarrin without a ticket, and a fine of 10s with 7/6 costs was recorded. *** A MONSTER temperance demonstration will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Somerville, on Monday evening next at 8 oclock, when the Hon. S. Mauger will give an address. First class Melbourne artists have been engaged. The chair will be taken by Mr Nelson Rudduck,J.P. No charge will be made for admission. *** MESSRS T. R. B, Morton and Sons notify by advertisement that they will hold an auction sale (through Mr J. L. Parks, one of their auctioneers) of town blocks at Hogan’s Hotel, Hastings, on Saturday, 12th June, at two o’clock p.m. Full particulars may be obtained from the auctioneers at 72 Swanston St, Melbourne, or at Bittern. *** RATEPAYERS are reminded that on or before Wednesday next,(10th June) all rates must be paid to entitle them to be placed on the ratepayers’ roll. The Shire Secretary will be in attendance at the various centres in the Shire from now up to the 10th inst on date specified in advertisement for the purpose of receiving rates. *** THE Aspendale, Chelsea and Carrum Electric Supply Company Ltd., are applying for an order-in-Council,

authorising them to extend its distribution mains to supply electricity in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings for public and private purposes. Any objection respecting the applications must be lodged within three months from the date of the advertisement appearing in the Government Gazette addressed to the Minister of Pubic Works. *** A COMMITTEE meeting of the Frank- ston Belgian Relief Fund was held on Tuesday June 1st when the monthly collecting cards were presented. There was a falling off in subscriptions compared to last month which was attributed to the introduction of the Belgian Buttons. But as that does not go to a local fund it was decided to still continue the card collecting.

The amount of cash in hand for the month is £6 11s 2d. Mr Hay acknowledges the sum of 18s 1d, the proceeds of a raffle conducted by Mrs Rimmer.

The following letter was read:— Miss Bertha Rogers and Miss D. Gregory, hon secs Ladies collecting committee Belgian Relief Fund. — Mesdames,— “I have great pleasure in informing you that at a public meeting of the Contributors to the above Fund held on the 19th inst, the fol- lowing resolution was unanimously passed:— ”That the best thanks of this meeting be accorded to the ladies collecting committee for their successful efforts

in collecting funds for the above object, and for the handsome sum of £15 contributed by them to the Frankston general Fund’.

I shall be pleased if you will convey the terms of the above resolution to your Committee. I may add that the meeting fully recognised the extent of the efforts of your Committee in collecting the above amount in small sums and expressed a hope that your Committee may be equally successful in future.” *** THE Emu Plains and Bittern races were held on Tuesday last, in fine weather. *** LANGWARRIN V NAVAL BASE. The game was clean and full of good football. Langwarrin must admit that they were met on Saturday by a far superior and a better trained team but had the guard used more accuracy in their kicking they may have stood a better chance.

The first quarter opened up by the base scoring a goal then off the game went just and clean, Every man was put to his toughest test, then guards started scoring behind after behind only getting 2 goals out of 10 shots which appeared to be quite easy, base getting 2 goals out of two shots.

The next round saw base well on the job getting 5 while the guards fought hard and played well for 1 behind.

Every man seemed to be getting the hard task they were now fighting

but all was clean and good.

The last quarter opened with the guards 12 points behind and kicking against the wind.

For the guards Dad Corbert and Hock Walker stood out alone, others who at times faired well were Capt Cousins, Conrick and S. Taylor.

The umpire’s task was difficult and but for a few mistakes he was considered in good order. *** A CROWDED house assembled at the Somerville Mechanics’ to listen to the efforts of the pupils and ex-pupils of the Somerville school on behalf of the local Red Cross Society. Mr Geo Griffith was chairman and spoke on the necessity for strenuous efforts for the fund of the Red Cross Society.

The concert was right up to the excellent standard that the pupils have hitherto set, in fact it is stated by many to have been the best heard for a considerable time.

The programme opened with national songs “Ye Mariners of England,” “When the Empire calls.”

Ring drill by some 30 infants under the direction of Miss Ruth Murray; military discipline by Gen. Grant and some bad soldiers accused of looting; an extract from “The Queen and the seasons” was excellently rendered by Miss Dorothy Thornell.

A Grain of Salt GOOGLE Pliny’s Naturalis Historia, 77 A.D.: “After the defeat of that mighty monarch Mithridates, Gnaeus Pompeius found in his private cabinet a recipe for an antidote in his own handwriting: Take two dried walnuts, two figs, and twenty leaves of rue; pound them all together, with the addition of a grain of salt; if a person takes this mixture fasting, he will be proof against all poisons for that day”. To take a statement with “a grain of salt” means to accept it but to maintain a degree of scepticism about its truth.

So there. *** HOW can a man can beat his wife, go to confession and walk out cleansed? A sure sign of madness?

Solomon 971- 930 BC “Seeist a man wise in his own conceit, more hope is of a fool than of him.”

Some argue females are different.

I disagree, but for now I’ll limit my thoughts to men generally in the light of this violence against women.

Men are right. They are always right. They may well “agree to disagree” but each will be right. With varying degrees they are all also mad, lustful, envious, ambitious and all assume sanity. In their own special way men think and laugh at the stupidity of other men and women.

The English laugh at the French and the Germans and vice versa.

We presently laugh at the Greeks and most other races, via customs, religion, food, clothing and corrupt governments. A man assumes his own desires, however much hidden, as right. They send young men to war to face possible death on our behalf. They lie as politicians supposedly for the greater good, never questioning their self-righteousness.

They tell people to behave in a certain way, rarely, if ever, following that way themselves. “The winds which men most fear are those which uncover them” (Montaigne). *** MY concerns politically are with health, education, infrastructure, overseas aid and our disgusting treatment of asylum seekers.

It’s sad to see more people concerned about two dogs belonging to some pirate actor rather than those poor souls transferred to Cambodia ex Nauru.

On a personal level however, the changes in arts funding worries me.

Elia Kazan’s words ring true “I feel that artists are our only hope, today.

I see this country as sick. I think big business has succeeded in dominating and degrading our whole scene.

Our political leaders only want to stay in office and will do what’s necessary to that end. Our only hope is the men/women, those few men/ women, the artists, who tell us what we are and what we are doing and where we are heading. Only they might wake us up. Only they speak the truth or some of it. They yell when we all hurt, become furious when we are outraged, show us our shame, awake us from our habitual indifference”. *** ARTS Minister George Brandis has transferred $104 million from the Australia Council to the National Program for Excellence in the Arts to be administered by the Arts Ministry, Attorney-General’s Department. Read public servants? A concentration on the higher uplifting types of culture (read ballet and opera) and the convenient necessity of putting all those drama lefties (read individual artists and small

groups) in their proper place, out of sight? ”Audiences should benefit,” George tells us, preferably audiences who admire visual spectaculars rather than the evils of criticism whatever the form.

“Excellence” as defined by George, before anything likely to challenge orthodoxies? Arts funding was always heavily dependent on “who you know”, not public servants, but often a facsimile.

Australia Council is (was?) protected by legislation, giving it “arm’s length” independence from government and political favours or prejudice towards individual applicants for funding. Not so now?

Either way Joseph Goebbels is smiling. *** OUR leaders?

Tony Abbott, whose promises destroyed the meaning of the word and continues with his personal program to destroy Labor, which is surely far removed from governing for all Australians.

Bill Shorten on science, technology, engineering and mathematics with no mention of art, music, literature and humanities, and a history of heavy involvement behind the dismissal of two Labor Prime Ministers.

Tony as a school bully, Billy as a man of straw.

Conundrum. *** SAD to witness Mick Malthouse’s slow painful demise. He did well at Collingwood; many a side performing above their natural talent.

Ushered out to make way for Eddie McGuire’s hero, via his cushy job offer and Eddie’s childish notion of great footballers making great coaches.

By Cliff Ellen Mick should have stopped there rather than “proving them wrong, etc at Carlton. I wonder if Caroline Wilson, Mark Maclure and particularly Mark Robinson have blood on their hands? We await the Buckley story without traditional Magpie Heath Shaw, the ilk of Benny Johnson and Alan Didak; a decision perhaps aided by Tony Shaw, now in its 4th year.

Hawthorn supporters may well boo Buddy. Collingwood may well boo Daisy, but never will they boo Heath – therein lies the difference. *** AUSTRALIA’S five-man Junta: Abbott, Hockey, Brandis, Cormann, Morrison?...Spotting potential jihadists in schools – Tony’s brownshirts? ...Any team beating a sky blue team from NSW gets my nod, despite most of Melbourne Victory coming from Carlton wearing navy blue colours. I prefer quoits...

PM Tony accuses Billy boy of raiding “our money”? A superannuation concessional rate at 15 cents in the dollar. You pay 45 you save 30 for retirement; you pay 19 you save 4 for retirement. Enough said....

Some 80 per cent of the community are in favour of choice (euthanasia), even higher for those over 70, so why are we controlled by this minority, again?...

The players want James Hird, but who would be game enough to say otherwise?...

Social Services Minister Scotty Morrison is the man to make us believe in the superior efficiency of the NBN rollout?...

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear...hooroo...cliffie9@ bigpond.com www.ello8.com

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Rebel Wilson without a cause

By Stuart McCullough HOW dare you. Frankly, you should take all the money youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned from those big Hollywood movies and buy yourself a large quantity of shame because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that you have none at present. Now that your lies have been exposed, I find myself questioning every truth I once held dear. Is the sky really blue? Are puppies truly adorable or is it just a ruse to mask an evil heart of darkness? Does Taylor Swift exist or was she invented by the Toshiba Corporation and originally given away in a box of cereal? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in anything anymore. Thanks a lot Rebel Wilson.

As a forty three year old man, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take this kind of devastating news in my stride. Guess again. Frankly, this changes everything. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit that when I first heard the news, I tried my best not to overact. For that reason, after falling to my knees and shaking my fists at the sky, I only spent an hour in sackcloth and fifteen minutes flagellating myself with some left over television cables before leaping to my keyboard and expressing my sense of anger, hurt and betrayal the way nature intended: on the internet.

Once online, I discovered that I was far from alone. Others were also trying to recover from this elaborate deception and were rightly asking whether the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;realâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; you would step from the shadows in which you have lurked for so long. It appears to me that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given no thought at all to how lying about your age might make others feel once the truth was ultimately unveiled.

In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pause to consider the social contract that, as a performer, you have willingly entered. When you appear in a movie or a series and, in turn, that piece of entertainment is then made available for purchase, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just buying your performance; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying you. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, Rebel. We own you.

So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only fair that I communicate my absolute sense of outrage in the clearest terms possible. Indeed, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t felt this betrayed since learning that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had hooked up and I had to throw out all his albums as a precaution, lest I too should be seduced by the dark side of the Force. Why oh why! Until news of your subterfuge came to light,

there was one thing I thought I knew about actors and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this: everything they say is absolutely true. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Martin Sheen was such a great President. Now I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to think.

Turns out you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t twenty nine years old as previously claimed, but thirty six. That means that you and I are exactly the same age. I have to be honest and say that this puts a different perspective on everything. More than that, it raises some very serious questions of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;road less travelledâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; variety. If I too had lied about my age, would I have had my own sitcom by now? Probably. Worse still, I suspect that the role you had in Bridesmaids really ought to have gone to me instead. Granted, you were hilarious, but if that role was obtained in suspicious circumstances, then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing for it other than to re-shoot the entire movie.

As a twenty seven year old lefthanded puppeteer, perhaps I should have known better. After all, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long history of actors telling absolute porkies about a whole range of matters. Cary Grant was not really Cary Grant. He was, in actual fact, Archibald Alexander Leach. Upon learning this, it totally ruined The Philadelphia Story for me. All this time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d thought it was Cary Grant rather than Archie Leach on screen as CK Dexter Haven.

Re-shooting the movie isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even an option as all the characters are now deceased. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far from an isolated example.

Mister Ed was not really Mister Ed but a horse named â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bamboo Harvest-

erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really sound like a horse at all but a piece of agricultural equipment. If I dig a little deeper will I discover that Mister Ed wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a horse but an apparatus used on the farm for cropping? As for Flipper, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long been an open secret that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a dolphin at all but a ten year old with a rare form of alopecia and a major attitude problem who, with the aid for some pretty amazing makeup, convinced the world that instead of a small angry pre-teen he was the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved mammal.

As a twenty one year old sudoku champion and award winning basket weaver, you might think I should just get over it. And you may well have a point. What does it matter if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little older than I previously thought?

Sure, I feel a touch foolish for sending all those year-specific birthday cards.

But who cares? Others have done far worse. Especially when you consider that Abigail Breslin was actually thirty-seven years old when she played that role in Little Miss Sunshine.

As a twelve year old unicorn with magical fire breath, I can only be honest and say that I feel massively let down. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still watch your stuff. Some might argue that to do so is a sign of weakness but, trouble is, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of awesome. This whole age fiasco thing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t detract from how funny you are. Come to think of it, it kind of makes me wonder whether the whole â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lying about your ageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thing matters a hoot. Perhaps it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Sorry to trouble you. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

SWEETS FOR MY SWEET

By Melissa Walsh

Imagine delicious cakes and pastries, and the aroma of freshly baked pies like grandma used to make wafting from the kitchen, and you will have an idea of what’s in store at Bethy’s Café at the Bazaar.

Bethy’s café opened in September 2013 when owner and pastry chef, Elizabeth Steer, fulfilled her lifelong dream of owning her own café.

“When I took it over it was an existing café but I have made lots of changes and renovations along the way,” says Elizabeth who knew at the age of 13 she wanted to

have her own café. “I started my apprenticeship as a pastry cook and baker at 15 after spending lots of time baking with my mum and nan while I was growing up.”

When Elizabeth and her partner moved down to the peninsula for a lifestyle change, she had been researching cafes for a decade and came across the perfect café in Rosebud.

“When I walked in here, I had been researching cafes for years but hadn’t bought anything because I didn’t feel like I was ready yet. I kept

driving past the bazaar and then I saw the café and it was wonderful.

We redid all the benches and the fitout and rearranged it all, putting in couches and a long breakfast bar for people to read their papers on. We turned the place into exactly what we wanted it to feel like and, in conjunction with the adjoining art gallery, we display local artists paintings,” says Elizabeth.

At Bethy’s Café everything is made on the premises.

“A lot of the recipes are from my grandmas who taught me how I

can use my creativity through my cooking. My favourite thing to do is wedding cakes and fantasy cakes, putting those together, but get a lot of enjoyment out of doing our high teas as well,” says Elizabeth, who understands that food is very much an emotional part of people’s lives and loves being a part of that celebration.

“It’s great when we have groups of four or more coming together to enjoy the atmosphere and I love knowing that I’ve helped create a special time for those people,

particularly with our high teas,” she says.

When you sit down to one of Bethy’s Cafes famous high teas, you will be blown away by the sautéed mushrooms and caramelised onion fetta tartlet with sour cream pastry, min petit fours, lavender scones, little rare roast beef rolls, and of course cucumber sandwiches.

Bethy’s Café at the Bazaar is at 1017 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Day of upsets in Nepean League NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT was certainly a day of upsets in Nepean League football on Saturday.

Crib Point came from 20 points down at half time and 15 points down at three quarter time to beat Sorrento at David McFarlane Reserve.

Dromana bounced back from an ordinary defeat the week before to beat Frankston Bombers, who had won two on the trot.

Up at Red Hill in front of the 1990 premiership side, the home side was smashed by Hastings.

Somerville, after a tumultuous week, went down by two goals against Rosebud in a low scoring, scrappy affair.

The two expected results went accordingly. Pearcedale restricted Tyabb to four goals and won by 63 points and at Devon Meadows, Rye had to work hard but got home by 22 points.

The ladder now sees four teams on 20 points, while Somerville makes up the five with 16 points. Sorrento and Dromana are outside the top bracket on three wins (12 points).

There was plenty of fireworks at Somerville in their match against Rosebud.

Rosebud midfielder Brad McDonald was reported by three umpires for allegedly head butting and striking in the second quarter.

However, despite playing one short for most of the third quarter, Rosebud was still able to kick four goals to three and lead by 24 points at the final change.

As expected, Somerville came back in the final quarter with the wind, booting 1.7 to one behind.

The Buds got the chocolates 9.15 (69) to 7.15 (57).

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell was understandably ecstatic with his team after the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is that we cannot get into a shoot out against teams. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not our style and we are not going to win footy games like that,â&#x20AC;? said Jewell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to slow the pace down, grind down and make it a bit of a slog.

We were able to do that today against Somerville and the result went our way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You (Toe Punt) were spot on with what you wrote in the Footy Record about us being a scrappy side that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play good looking football.

Hands up if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like the ball: Hastings dominated Red Hill to win by 32 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

The reality is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re okay with that.â&#x20AC;?

Greg Bentley was superb for the Buds as a stay at home forward and had ten shots at goal (he finished with three), while Rhys Bancroft was back to his sensational best after returning fom ankle surgery.

Nick Boswell started in deep defence and moved a little higher as the game went on. He was vintage in

Sudoku and crossword solutions

parts. Rob Forrest and Jason Bristow were superb for the duration.

Luke Rowe played his best game of the season for the Eagles with three goals and Scott Simpson and Tim Hirst also worked hard.

Somerville recruits Billy Rolfe and Tommy Simpson both played in the reserves as a result of the Player Points System.

Dromana wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great against

Rosebud two weeks ago but by gee did they have a crack against Frankston Bombers on Saturday.

After a pretty even first half, Dromana lifted the tempo in the third quarter and broke clear with a four goal to two point term. The margin was 26 point at the final break.

Bombers kicked with the wind in the final term but Dromana stood tough, holding on for a comfortable 10.16

(76) to 7.16 (58) victory.

Hastings dominated Red Hill all game to record an easy victory, 13.10 (88) to 8.8 (56).

Joel Standfield and Paul Rogasch were sensational in the back half for the Blues while Col McVeigh and Josh Mulheron in the ruck also dominated proceedings.

Jason Kestle was back in the team for the Blues and finished with two goals. Coach Brendan Dunne missed with a hand injury. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first one of these he has had.

Jake Mold booted four goals for the Hillmen while Paul Wintle was superb in defence.

Crib Point stormed home to overrun a flat looking Sorrento.

The Magpies trailed all afternoon, however, had much more run in their legs when the whips were cracking in the final term.

The Pies booted seven goals to one in the final 30 minutes of the game to win 15.12 (102) to 13.7 (85).

The win did come at a cost with star Waide Symes going down with a knee injury.

Dean Warry booted four goals for the winners and James Cook and Brad Arnold dominated.

Nick Diconza, Ben McCormack and Ryan Potter were the best of the Sharks.

Nathan Henley booted four goals for Rye and Brady Egan was sensational in the ruck as the Demons led all day to beat Devon Meadows.

The Demons kicked clear in the second quarter and were never headed, winning 12.11 (83) to 9.7 (61).

The game saw Rye coach and former Sorrento premiership player Josh Moore return to senior footy.

Jess Dehey returned to the Panthers after five weeks on the sidelines due to suspension, while teenager Luke Duhig showed he belongs in the seniors with two goals and a solid fourquarter performance.

Pearcedale booted 11 goals to one after quarter time to beat Tyabb 12.21 (93) to 4.6 (30).

Pat Heijden booted four goals and Ben Mitchell dominated in the ruck for the Dales while Kallum Searle played his best game for his new club after crossing from Mornington.

Justin Volk and Jake Anderson were the best of the Yabbies, while James Cottrell was among the best again.

Kick after siren ends in draw PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt WITH two minutes left on the clock on Saturday, Pines was six points in front of Bonbeach and looked like they were going to hold on for the win.

A Pines kick across the body towards the new clubrooms end pushed across the face of goal and gave back possession of the footy to Bonbeach.

The Sharks moved the ball quickly to the far end of Bonbeach Recreation Reserve and again Pines were able to cause a stoppage.

With just seconds left in the game, the ball was thrown up inside attacking 50 for the Sharks. Paul Lewis, in his first game for Pines after being cleared from Rosebud, became third man up in the ruck contest and smashed the ball clear of the stoppage.

Only problem was that the ball fell into the hands of the Sharks and a quick kick found the arms of Justin Bennett.

The siren sounded and Bennett nailed his third goal of the game from close range.

The final score was 14.8 (92) apiece.

The second draw of the 2015 Peninsula League season (the first was EdiAsp and Langwarrin).

While the Sharks kicked with the aid of the breeze in the final quarter, the wind was going more across the ground. Eighteen of the 28 goals kicked in the match were to the far end of Bonbeach.

Pines dominated the third quarter but failed to convert their opportunities. The visitors led by just eight points at three quarter time.

Bonbeach kicked the first four goals of the final term to kick clear. However, Pines then kicked the next four to get their noses in front with minutes left.

Pines’ coach Pat Swayne said it was

Eagles wings clipped: Frankston YCW beat Edithvale–Aspendale by 62 points.

Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Bonbeach’s clearance work that was the difference between the sides.

“Mark Tyrrell and Jackson Casey were superb in the middle of the ground and they scored a few goals from centre clearances. In the end they had seven more clearances than us,” said Swayne.

“That’s our Achilles heel at the moment – we are a couple of midfielders

short. Losing a two time league medal winner and four time best and fairest winner in Jimmy Messina doesn’t help us.

“I thought that in attack we were stronger and defensively we were pretty even. It was in the middle that cost us.

“We’d like to use Luke Potts in various roles but our hand is forced a bit

to leave him in the middle for long periods.

“I’m bitterly disappointed in the draw but I’m not shattered.

“We made some mistakes and we’ll learn from them together. I’ve always said that I believe we will be a better side in the second half of the season.

“I’ve had a very good look at the competition now and I don’t think we are far away. With the improvement I expect in the back end, I’m confident we’ll be there,” said Swayne.

Bennett, Rob Ferraro, Anthony Hogan and Jackson Sole with a couple of goals were in Bonbeach’s best. Guy Hendry with five goals, along with Dale Tedge and Beau Hendry were the Pythons’ best.

Mt Eliza maintained its position on top of the ladder with a solid 32 point victory against Langwarrin.

The game was an arm wrestle in the first half before the home side stepped up its intensity levels in the third quarter.

The result was 4.6 to 1.3 in the third and the Redlegs went into the final break with a 19 point lead.

Langwarrin got to within eight points midway through the last but two goals to Ben Lean and one to Scott Lockwood saw the Redlegs dominate the final 15 minutes of the match and win 12.16 (88) to 7.14 (56).

While there was a lot of focus on Ben Lean and Rohan Heasley in the middle of the ground, it was Ben Landry who did the most damage. He racked up almost 30 touches in a best on ground display.

Lockwood started slowly but was dominant by the end of the game and Justin Van Unen, while beaten across four quarters by Langwarrin’s Rikki Johnson, got off the leash a few times to kick three freakish goals and set another one up.

David Barton and Sam Wettenhall

were damaging across the ground and the defence, led by Sam Gill and Darren Booth, was well supported by Jimmy Clayton and Aaron Dunne.

James Capkin and Matt Lillie also became pivital around the ground late in the game as mobile ruckmen.

Blake Harkness was comfortably Langwarrin’s best plyer, despite not being named in their best, while Johnston and skipper Scott Sienkiewicz, along with Shane Paterson and Michael Parker were also fine contributors.

Seaford won its first game for the season, defeating Karingal by a whopping 117 points, 26.22 (178) to 9.7 (61).

Ben Crowe and Dean Williamson booted five goals each for the Tigers and Pat Cadd finished with four.

The Tigers booted 17 goals to five in the second half.

Travis Puntaroni kicked five goals for the Bulls while Nathanael Furlong and Aaron Lees also had solid games.

Frankston YCW kept EdithvaleAspendale to one goal in the first half in their match and went on to win 17.12 (114) to 8.4 (52).

Anthony Bruhn booted four goals and Ryan Santon was the best player on the ground with three majors.

Matt Clark and Jordan Derbyshire were the best of the Eagles.

Mornington overcame a slow start and a five point deficit at half time to get the win against Chelsea, 14.14 (104) to 12.4 (76).

The Doggies still trailed by five points at three quarter time, however, booted eight goals to three in the final term to get the four points.

Michael Gay and Ryan O’dell were outstanding for the Doggies, as was Ryan Smith, while Todd Gardiner, Niz Abdallah and Jayden Attard were good for the Gulls.

It’s time for a change of leadership OPINION

By Toe Punt THE time has come for Peninsula and Nepean Football Leagues to take control.

The farsical nature of the handling of the Player Points System issue this week by the MPNFL highlighted the fact that the current administration of the league is incapable of governing effectively.

The member clubs’ appointed MPNFL Board is also incapable of providing the necessary direction to their appointed administration.

The time has come for Nepean and Peninsula clubs to cease complaining about the constant poor administration of their league administration and stop accepting mediocrity.

It’s time for the clubs to demand strong leadership and direction and football administration best practice.

Casey-Cardinia Football League, or the new South East Football Netball League (SEFNL) as it is known now, bit the bullet 12 months ago and defected from the auspices of the MPNFL, which was then PCN Alliance.

The nine member clubs in SEFNL cited poor administration and poor representation as the key reasons for their defection.

Six months on and SEFNL are still skipping to the footy each week and celebrating what a successful decision it was to fall under the new manage-

PAGE 38

ment of the AFL South East commission.

Following the MPNFL’s mismanagement of the Player Points System issues through the week, it’s now time for the Nepean and Peninsula League clubs to seriously reconsider their position.

What unfolded last week was embarressing for the MPNFL. In short, two clubs challenged the vilidity of the Player Points allocated to Somerville coach David Hirst. Last year Hirst was listed as a marquee player in some games and this year he is a one point player.

Somerville has done absolutely nothing wrong here. They have been working with the league since December, 2014 to help them manage their PPS. They have documentation and written advice and permissions from the MPNFL outlining what players are worth.

Somerville has no reason to challenge the league’s determination of their own rules.

Other clubs do have the right to do so, however, and two clubs exercised that right two weeks ago.

The league didn’t deal with the situation two weeks ago because they said interleague was “more important”.

However, last week, they went into lock down and hiding. The administration failed to communicate with their member clubs in the appropriate, respectful fashion. This is common, where clubs receive absolutely no ac-

Southern Peninsula News 2 June 2015

knowledgement of correspondence.

What followed were countless emails to the league from Nepean League clubs, highlighting areas of the blatant misinterpretation of the PPS rules.

Late Friday afternoon last week, the league sent the following statement to clubs.

Dear Clubs, Further to the communication dated the 26th May 2015 (Somerville FNC Player Points) and official written responses from the two initial clubs in relation to the Leagues decision, the League has acted on MPNFL Player Points System Rule 11.

11. QUALIFYING COMMITTEE An independent review/appeal panel shall be established by the MPNFL. If any player or club is dissatisfied with the points assessed to a player, the club or player may apply for the review/appeal panel to undertake reconsideration of the points assessed.

We have established an independent review panel which consists of Brett Connell AFL Victoria’s Community Football & Engagement Manager, Jeremy Bourke AFL South East Regional General Manager and a third member that will be appointed by Brett & Jeremy under the following guideline.

• The third panel member must be fully independent and have no past history or connection with any Peninsula or Nepean club.

The total number of points appear-

ing on the Somerville FNC team sheet this week will be 38.

This statement raised more questions amongst Nepean League officials than it did answers.

Minus all the commentary, everyone wanted to know one thing - was David Hirst a 1, 2 or 3 point player.

That is the ONLY thing the clubs want to know. They want to know this because it has an impact on their own list and their own player point allocations.

Under the league’s new interpretation of the PPS, there are many players in the competition who should now be worth less points.

The league has misinterpreted the rule.

The league ignored its members in a time they were simply seeking clarification. It could have been resolved quickly.

When the league finally got back to the clubs, they provided a statement that clouded the situation further.

Why should we be having an independent tribunal to make decisions on rules that were written by and have been adjudicated by the league for years?

Don’t the clubs pay the league administration to administer and govern our league?

Where’s their management and leadership to resolve this issue.

Questions were raised over the PPS system, the most important rule in our game, and the governing body refused

to answer them.

Last Thursday, AFL South East Regional General Manager Jeremy Bourke said he had received’ no communication from the league regarding this issue’.

Bourke went onto say “I believe there has been enough confirmation around the application of this rule to at least warrant some sort of correspondence or communication”.

“The league is there to service its clubs. I think it’s a ludicrous situation that I believe the clubs have every right to expect a service level that they pay for”.

“As a commission, we believe it is starting to get to a situation where if this is the outcome for member clubs, do we need to call constitutional reviews?

“The clubs need to be reminded, however, that whilst they are happy to complain, and we support them 100 per cent, they need to do something about it. The response from the clubs can’t be ‘it’s too hard’.

“Clubs need to start turning a bit of that negative speak into action and get on the front foot and do something about it.

MPNFL General Manager Jeff Jones believed the situation was handled and clubs had an opportunity to take any PPS matter to the independent tribunal.
