Port plans sink THE state government has been told that it should rule out Hastings for the state’s next container port on economic and environment grounds.

Infrastructure Victoria last week recommended that a container port be built at Bay West, in Port Phillip north of Geelong.

Ports Capacity report also states that it is unlikely there will be a need for a new container port until 2055, with detailed planning needed to begin in 2040.

The recommendation is not binding and state government’s are becoming notorious for overturning decisions made by their predecessors.

While a previous state Labor government saw Hastings as its preferred site for a container port, this was changed after the subsequent Liberal state government established the Port of Hast-

Following Labor’s 2014 election victory the authority was stripped of finance and staff.

Infrastructure Victoria’s CEO Michel Masson said the decision favouring Bay West was “based on new evidence and a direct comparison of all the available options - something which had never been done before�.

In March, Infrastructure Victoria released a discussion paper which showed building a container port at Hastings

was more than double the cost of the Bay West option, $12.8 billion as opposed to $6.14 billion (“Hastings costliest port option� The News 14/3/17) “The Port of Hastings will be an important part of Victoria’s future commercial port network and is particularly well suited to handling automotive trade, while the ports of Geelong and Portland could grow their existing trades and support emerging supply chains,� Mr Masson said last week.

Training run: Kayaker Ian Stevenson leads the way as Chloe McCardel trains at Safety Beach. Pictures: Keith Platt

MARATHON swimmer Chloe McCardel was crouched in the nearempty car park near Safety Beach Yacht Club slapping on sun protection and a concoction of Vaseline and lanoline. Thursday’s cloudy skies and 15-20kph winds made the water unappealing, but McCardel was on a training mission.

She holds the world record for an unassisted ocean swim (124.4 kilometres in the Bahamas in October 2014) and has swum the English Channel 21 times (eight crossings between June and October last year).

Without wanting to give the game away, she admits to be training for another record swim, but says the details have to wait. “People from all over the world are waiting, but I’ll let them know in a few months,� she laughs before running to the water’s edge.

Once off the beach and shepherded by kayaker Ian Stevenson, of Mornington, McCardel is hard to discern in the chop.

This is the third day running trhey have been on the bay and McCardel says she will have swum 122 kilometres by week’s end.

During the six and seven hour swims McCardel drinks warm tea carried by Stevenson. He also hands her muffins and banana bread (a favourite), which she’s become skilled at eating while treading water, even with wet hands.

Thursday’s swim was planned to take her past Rosebud pier where she’s arranged to see her mum, Meg, who lives at McCrae. “I won’t be stopping, just a wave,� McCardel says.

Unhappily, the rendevous fails.

Stevenson’s kayak is overturned about one kilometre offshore and he and McCardel have to struggle ashore.

But Meg is there to save the day and drive them back to collect their vehicles at Safety Beach.

Friday dawns clear, and McCardel spends seven hours in smoother seas. And Stevenson remains upright in the kayak, keeping the tea warm and the banana cake dry.

Students ‘connect’ to find work after school JOB ConneXions is a new pilot project to help Rosebud Secondary College VCAL students make the transition from school to work.

Over the next 10 weeks mentors from local businesses will share their knowledge and skills with students, helping them to access community networks and career opportunities.

The year 11 VCAL students are matched with a mentor who has experience in their chosen industry.

“This real world mentor experience is helping the students to understand the practicalities of their initial career choice, and the potential to gain local employment in a particular industry, extending their skills and knowledge beyond the classroom,” teacher Derek Kirk said.

The mentor program is one of four

parts of the Job ConneXions project being piloted by Seawinds Community Hub, Rotary Club of Rosebud Rye and the college and paid for by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The mentor program runs for 10 weeks.

Heather Barton, CEO of Seawinds Community Hub, said that through Job ConneXions students will be “enabled to create a smooth transition into their preferred jobs”.

“Employers will be connected with job-ready, local young employees and young people will gain real world career information and experience,” she said. “They will develop the employability skills that employers want.”

Cool climate wines appeal to judges A WINE from Nazaaray Estate, Flinders, won the People’s Choice Award at the 17th Cool Climate Wine Show at Mornington Racecourse last week. The Meakins Rd winery’s reserve pinot noir 2015 was judged best in its class.

More than 540 wines – up 30 per cent on last year – were judged by a 16-member team chaired by master of wine Meg Brodtmann.

The 29 classes include sparkling wines, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, pinot grigio, riesling, pinot noir, shiraz and two new Italian classes.

“It is good for the region to host these winemakers and judges and to give our local wineries a wonderful opportunity to benchmark their wines against other cool climate wines from Australia and overseas,” organiser Alva Hemming said.

Foxeys Hangout, of White Hill Rd, Red Hill, had dual success. Its sparkling white was judged Best

Mornington Peninsula White, while its Scotsworth Farm pinot noir 2016 was judged Best Mornington Peninsula Red. Merricks Estate, of Thompsons Lane, Merricks, won Best Chardonnay 2014.

The judges’ award for best vintage overall went to Shaw Vineyard Estate Reserve, Merriman, Canberra, for its cabernet sauvignon 2015.

“The Cool Climate Wine Show is internationally recognised as Australia’s foremost show for cool climate wines,” project manager Rebecca Davis said. “Many are from smaller vineyards where grapes are handpicked and wines handcrafted by winemakers with a passion for exploring terroir and the true expression of the grape.

“It gives winemakers an opportunity to benchmark in a show where like is judged against like, where elegant wines with restrained fruit are seen

at their best, and where diversity is encouraged and rewarded.

“The peninsula’s wine retailers, restaurateurs, sommeliers, cellar door staff, wine educators and wine enthusiasts see the show as an opportunity to taste an extraordinary breadth and depth of cool climate wines.”

At a public tasting and awards dinner on Friday night wine lovers had the chance to sample wines from 2013-16 (and older vintages in some classes), compared wines of the same grape variety from different regions, and assessed wines from specific regions and vintages.

Other winners: Best Italian Wine: Vinosalvo Vignailio Maremma Toscana Levitas Sangiovese 2015 Best Italian Varietal (Aus/NZ): Hollick The Gondolier Barbera 2014 Best White Wine in Show: Soumah of Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2016 Best Red Wine in Show: Berrigan

Bay becomes a regular stop-off for killer whales Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au KILLER whales, or orcas, have returned to Port Phillip. A group photographed off Point Nepean included a male known as Ripple, who has been tracked and catalogued by whale watchers since 2005.

Marine wildlife consultant with the Dolphin Research Institute David Donnelly said Ripple was last sighted in Port Phillip in 2015, but has also been recorded in waters off southern NSW, western Victoria and south eastern Tasmania.

“Australian killer whales are highly mobile and on the east coast rarely spend longer than a few hours to a day in any one location,” Mr Donnelly said.

While killer whales were often in Port Phillip and reported sightings were becoming more frequent, Mr Donnelly said they were still regarded as being relatively uncommon.

“This is probably as a result of improved reporting rather than a population increase,” he said.

“They enter the bay from time to time and occasionally travel as far as Mornington.”

He said the killer whales were identified by their fin, saddle and eye patch.

“Using photos with these features we compare with other killer whales to determine an individual. Once an individual has been identified, it is given a unique ID number and added to the Killer Whales Australia catalogue.”

Research Institute this week reported dolphins being seen in Patterson River, Carrum as well the Yarra and Maribyrnong rivers.

Institute executive director Jeff Weir said the dolphins “provide an exciting reminder of Melbourne’s close connection to our wonderful bay”.

“This [the river sightings] is not an everyday event, but we do have

sightings in our database going back nearly 25 years. Dolphins have been seen as far up the Yarra as the Chapel St Bridge and in the Maribyrnong far beyond the racecourse.”

Mr Weir said it was believed the dolphins followed migrating bream into the rivers.

“Researchers believe the river visitors are bottlenose dolphins, possibly a

mother and calf. Port Phillip is home to resident communities of approximately 120 bottlenose dolphins and more than 30 common dolphins,” he said.

“It is remarkable to have these dolphins living in our backyard, when many coastal communities around the world are losing their resident dolphins.

“It’s natural for dolphins to explore

rivers and there is no need to intervene.”

Regulations stipulate that people should not deliberately approach dolphins closer than 100 metres in boats, 300 metres on jet skis and 30 metres for paddlers or swimmers and should keep their speed below five knots.

Dolphin sightings can be reported to: dolphinresearch.org.au or by calling 1300 130 949.

Hastings misses out on port nomination Continued from Page 1 “Bay West has strong transport, land use, environmental and amenity advantages when compared to Hastings. It can initially handle overflow container capacity, but is also well suited to becoming Melbourne’s future container port in the longer term.”

The advice from Infrastructure Victoria also comes at the same time that the government will take over the management of the Port of Hastings through the Victorian Channels Authority.

As from 1 July the harbourmaster and assistant harbourmaster will be responsible for shipping in and out of Western Port with the Port of Hastings Development Authority managing the ports onland requirements.

Eight development authority staff – down from a peak of 30 full time and 30 part time staff, including consultants – will move from their offices in High St, Hastings to Stony Point.

About 100 ships have visited the port in each

of the past three years, either picking up gas, crude oil or steel for export or importing petroleum products. In the 1970s and 1980s there were about 600 ship movements a year.

Shire councillors were briefed in March by Infrastructure Victoria in the lead up to the release of its latest report recommending against a container port at Hastings.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said on Friday the council was disappointed by at the Bay West decision.

The shire had seen a container port at Hastings as a “key strategic priority” and would keep telling the government that Hastings “is the right solution”.

“The shire strongly believes that a green port should be developed to showcase ‘green’ technology and international best practice in marine and terrestrial environmental management recognising the environmental and cultural heritage values of Western Port,” Cr Colomb said.

Meanwhile, Kawasaki Heavy Industries appears to be continuing its plans to export liquid hydrogen from the Port Hastings.

At the same 20 March briefing councillors were given information about by Kawasaki’s “hydrogen energy supply chain proposed pilot project”.

The shire’s chief operating officer Alison Leighton said on Friday that Kawasaki was considering BlueScope Steel’s existing wharf in Hastings for its “pilot project for the production of hydrogen energy in Victoria”.

She said the company had not applied for a planning permit and it would also need permits from state and federal authorities.

“If successful, the plant project is not expected to begin operations until 2020,” Ms Leighton said.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess has accused the state government of signing a secret deal with Kawasaki that could lead to “long coal trains or a coal slurry pipe bringing huge amounts of coal

to Hastings, building of a huge coal gasification plant at Hastings and the produced hydrogen being shipped through Western Port” (“Secret deal for toxic plant – MP” The News 24/1/17).

Kawasaki says it has been negotiating with state and federal governments for six years and has never been involved in plans to process coal at Western Port.

However, it is understood a pilot plant to extract gas from coal may be built at Hastings before any major construction near the source of the brown coal in the Latrobe Valley.

Ironically, the French company that closed the Hazelwood powers station leading to hundreds of jobless in the Latrobe Valley is part of a consortium promoting the use of hydrogen as a power source alongside solar and wind.

Engie is reported to be building a test power grid on a small island off Singapore where it will use hydrogen gas to convert power from solar panels and wind turbines into stored fuel.

Animal benefits to flow from axed expo’s cash Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

“One of these will include free microchipping for the disadvantaged in our community – specifically targeting [residents of] Capel Sound and Hastings where most of the unclaimed pets come from,” Ms Campbell said.

“Another project is a six-month trial to open the shelter to the public, 10am to noon on Saturdays, after the new administration building is completed in two or three months, and to fund an extra staff member for direct adoptions.

“Animals adopted from the shelter are de-sexed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and registered.”

Ms Campbell said volunteers were needed for the Watt Rd shelter so that training could be completed before the new building opens.

Technology training WALLAROO Primary School in Hastings is expanding its digital technology curriculum with a $20,000 grant from the federal government.

Principal Jenny Brennan said the school would buy computer equipment to ensure students and teachers were at the forefront of the emerging technological landscape.

“The equipment will have all the latest apps for students and will also allow them to create their own apps,” Mrs Brennan said.

“This will help us prepare pupils for careers that don’t yet exist, which is really exciting.”

Wallaroo Primary School was selected from 1800 schools to receive the grant.

THE $80,000 saved over two years by axing the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s pet expo at Rosebud will go towards stopping uncontrolled breeding of cats and dogs and reuniting lost pets with their owners.

The money will also go towards “easing accessibility” at the council animal shelter in Watt Rd, Mornington by foregoing the need for appointments on Saturday mornings for a six-month trial.

The biennial expo due to be held in November has been cancelled.

Environment protection manager John Rankine told councillors the money saved would be better spent at the community animal shelter. Communications, media and events manager Mark Kestigian recommended the Pet Expo be discontinued and that the budget allocation should go to “responsible pet ownership, community awareness and other promotional activities”.

Pets’ campaigner Doris Campbell, of Rosebud, said after the meeting: “This has come about after two and a half years of negotiations between the shire, animal rescue groups which rehome most of the shelter’s unclaimed animals, former shelter volunteer Rosy Fischer and the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association.”

Officers have also been asked to list responsible pet ownership programs to receive grants.

Rally, boys, on the road to beating cancer Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DRIVING from Adelaide to Cairns to raise money for cancer research is all in a week’s work for Nick Bolitho and Martin Foad (aka The Whinging Poms) in this week’s Shitbox Rally.

The pair left Mt Martha on Thursday for the short hop to Adelaide where they will join the rally and drive up through the outback, hoping to arrive in Cairns on Friday 2 June, more than 3800 kilometres away.

Their Mitsubishi Verada is loaded with their swags, esky, road trip CDs, yellow fancy dress costume and union jack dinner jackets for big nights out as well as wipes for cleaning up the dust.

“The trip will see us face the challenge of highly variable terrain, remote outback roads and changing climates,” Mr Bolitho said.

“The route will take us via the Oodnadatta Track and the Plenty Highway and we will be doing this in a car worth less than $1000.”

The road will be long and bumpy.

The Oodnadatta Track is an unsealed 617 kilometres between Marree and Marla via Oodnadatta in South Australia.

The Plenty Highway is a mostly unsealed 498 kilometres between the Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory and north-western Queensland.

It has taken a while to be able to even join the rally. Mr Bolitho’s wife Michelle said Nick always wanted to get involved and put his name on a waiting list three years ago. Now his

time has come.

“The rally is not a race, but rather a challenge to drive cars costing under $1000 across Australia via some of its most arduous roads, all in the name of charity,” Mr Bolitho said.

“We not only want to raise awareness and money for the Cancer

Council, but we want to be able to offer support, and a friendly ear, to those who have suffered or who are suffering.

“Many of us have been affected by cancer in one way or another – whether it be parents, family, close friends, people we know or ourselves

that have battled or are battling cancer.

This all too common and the horrid disease has touched us all.”

The men are calling for donations to raise at least $5000 for the Cancer Council.

Follow them on Facebook at The Whinging Poms - Shitbox Rally 2017

and on Instagram @the whinging poms. Donations can also be made on these sites through the link to the fundraising page.

The event has raised more than $11 million for the charity with this year’s donations standing at $1.5 million.

Green light for bus service’s contract Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Transport Assist will have its Mornington Peninsula Shire bus contract renewed for a further two years following high customer satisfaction ratings and projected cost savings.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable transport project coordinator Rita Kontos, in a report to last week’s council meeting, that an evaluation of community bus hire outsourcing over the past 12 months had proven positive.

Four criteria were used in the assessment: increase in use against previous 12 months; diversity of users (youth, aged, disabled); customer satisfaction, and cost benefits.

Ms Kontas said the shire saved $13,000 by outsourcing the bus hire operations. “Forward projections indicate this amount will increase due to an increase in bookings and a minor increase in bus booking fees,” she said.

The shire leases two community buses for community groups, schools, and not-for-profit organisations to transport clients to activities and services.

A review evaluated the financial and social benefits associated with outsourcing the buses to Peninsula Transport Assist Incorporated (PTA), a registered charity and volunteer assisted community transport organisation.

In February the council voted to accept the recommendations of the review and evaluate results of the trial period. This has just been done.

Ms Kontos said a customer satisfaction survey of 15 user groups – a third of the total – were comfortable with the booking process, ease of

pick-ups and drop-offs, and the returns process of keys and the condition reports.

“This result is especially significant in that the shire places a big emphasis on customer satisfaction and it legitimises their original decision to outsource the bus hire operations,” she said.

“The overall usage results indicate that increased demand over the last five months will result in an increase in forward revenue which will positively influence the cost benefits over the next 12 months.

“This projection will further save the shire (and residents) money in the cost of delivering this service to the community.”

Ms Kontos said the PTA’s ability to offer increased services in the form of bus drivers, larger buses and alternative buses when the shire buses were unavailable were further benefits.

She said demand for bus drivers was “very high”, with the PTA recruiting drivers to keep up supply.

Total eclipsed THE Rotary Club of Dromana handed a $27,000 cheque to Peninsula Health last week to aid Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department.

Organiser Mary Anderson said the original aim of the benefit dinner was $15,000. The event, on Saturday 6 May, included live comedy, silent auction and a raffle.

“We dished up 160 meals, raised over $8700 on our auction held by Nicholas Lynch, made $1500 on silent auction items and had more than 60 gifts as raffles and prizes,” Ms Anderson said.

“It was an amazing evening. Who said, hard work doesn’t pay off? Our event proved that wrong.”

Champion of Western Port’s unique ecology OBITUARY

Brian David Cuming OAM, 10 January 1928–23 May 2017, scientist, environmental activist

By Mike Hast SCIENTIST Brian Cuming played a major role in the protection of Western Port for more than 40 years.

Dr Cuming, who died on 23 May at age 89, joined the Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council in 1978.

WPPC was the peninsula’s first environmental lobby group, founded in 1971 to oppose further industrialisation of Western Port.

Plans included a nuclear reactor and dry dock on French Island and heavy industry stretching from Hastings to Stony Point.

Liberal Premier Henry Bolte wanted Western Port to be the “Ruhr of Victoria”, named after the heavily industrialised valley in Germany, and this sparked a long and bitter battle between pro-development forces versus scientists and conservationists.

Only three major industrial plants were built – a BP refinery at Crib Point (closed in 1985), Lysaght’s steel mill near Hastings (now BlueScope), and Esso’s gas fractionation plant, which still operates.

Sitting in his holiday house at Somers overlooking pristine Western Port and finding out about industrial plans for the region led Dr Cuming to join the protection council, founded

by Dr Bill Carroll, Meredith and Ken Hayes, Joe Tilleard and other concerned residents.

One of Dr Cuming’s first tasks was

Dr Brian Cuming to provide evidence to a government inquiry into oil spills. For four decades he undertook research, modelling and wrote submissions to government bodies about Western Port and its

need for protection.

Dr Cuming had earlier done work on chemicals entering water catchments in Gippsland and his expertise was seized on by the protection

council. Key battles during his tenure included successful campaigns to halt a fertiliser plant at the old BP site at Crib Point in 1987, and Shell-Mobil’s 1992 plan for an oil importing depot.

In 1985 Dr Cuming had taken on the presidency of the council after the death of Bill Carroll, a post he held until 1996. Dr Cuming was on the committee until 2007 when he retired.

He became the council’s “honorary scientific adviser”.

In 2015 he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for his environmental work. (Nanette Cuming also received an OAM, for her work in the native plant industry and for volunteering at community groups in the region.)

Dr Cuming grew up in Caulfield and attended Caulfield Grammar before doing a science and chemistry degree at the University of Melbourne, and a PhD at Cambridge in England.

He worked for the CSIRO either side of his Cambridge days before joining ICI Australia, where he worked for 18 years before leaving in 1977. He was a part-time chemistry lecturer at Swinburne Institute of Technology and set up an environment course, one of the first in Melbourne.

The Cumings moved to five hectares at Hunts Rd, Bittern, in 1981 to expand the native plant business, and Dr Cuming helped Nanette operate it.

He was a founding member of Devilbend Foundation, which successfully lobbied the government to make the decommissioned Devilbend Reservoir into a reserve rather than housing.

Dr Cuming was a member of several groups including Environment Victoria’s community reference group; Conservation Council of Victoria; Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation; Port of Hastings community reference group; and Greenpeace Australia.

WPPC secretary Karri Giles said Dr Cuming’s “love of environmental philosophy helped develop the vision of our group”.

“Brian was especially good at keeping people updated, networking and finding new allies. He was our main contact with environmental groups and bureaucrats for many years.”

In 2011, Dr Cuming said: “Western Port is not and has never been the place for industry. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands, and has outstanding marine and coastal environmental values. More than 350 native plant and 330 native animal species including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish and birds live here.”

He said even a minor oil spill would have devastating effects on the environment because of tidal movement and shallow areas of Western Port, 40 per cent of which was inter-tidal mud and sand flats.

His funeral will be held at Bunurong Memorial Park, FrankstonDandenong Rd, Dandenong South, at 11.30am on Friday 2 June.

Dr Cuming is survived by his wife Nanette; brothers Lindsay and Bob; children Richard, Ian, Pip (Philippa) and Rohan; and grandchildren Damon, Joel, Mayra, Ella and Jamie.

Building advice on being sustainable

Supporters of the World War II memorial at Flinders Park: Paul Miller, Kevin Davies, Heather Goddard, David Gill, Keith Hando, Jo Monie, Bill Clancy, Jayne Johnson, Greg Hood, Mark Holland, Susan Grant and WWII veteran Christie Johnstone in front.

Second memorial for Flinders clifftop A WORLD War II memorial at Flinders Park added a special flavour to the Anzac Day ceremony. The foreshore memorial was a joint project between Mornington Peninsula Shire and Balnarring & District Community Bank branch, as well as a sub-committee of Flinders Lions,

RSL, Community Association and the historical society.

The sub-committee members felt that although there was a memorial honouring Flinders WWI soldiers, it was appropriate a separate memorial be established for those who served in WWII.

“We know how important this is to our Flinders veterans and the wider Mornington Peninsula community – and we want to ensure that future generations can visit this memorial and pay their respects,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said.

“Thanks to all the generous com-

munity groups who contributed to this thoughtful and wonderful project.”

Red Hill Ward’s Cr David Gill said: “It was a pleasure working with the many Flinders organisations and community groups to see this memorial come to fruition. It is a meaningful and honourable project.”

RESIDENTS who are renovating, building or making a few changes at home are invited to attend a sustainability workshop next week. It will run from 2-4pm, Saturday 3 June, at Mt Eliza Community Hall, 90 Canadian Bay Rd, Mt Eliza.

Topics to be discussed include sustainable building design and materials, energy and water efficiency, solar and battery storage and landscaping.

The shire’s manager for climate change, energy and water Jess Wingad says being more sustainable when building or renovating makes sense, not just environmentally but economically as well.

“Modifications that make your home more energy efficient will save residents money in the long term,” she said.

“This event is a wonderful opportunity for our residents to get free expert advice specific to their own needs and situation.”

Those attending can even book in to talk one-on-one with two experts for 20 minutes.

This free event is presented by the Alternative Technology Association and sponsored by Frankston and Mornington Peninsula councils.

Registrations are essential.

Bookings: sdse.ata.org.au or call 9631 5421.

Service for players’ boat tragedy SEVERAL hundred people gathered at the footballers’ memorial in Mornington on Sunday 21 May to mark the 125th anniversary of what is often referred to as the township’s darkest hour.

On that day in 1892, 15 members of the Mornington Football Club were drowned when sailing home from a match against Mordialloc on the fishing boat Process.

Descendants some of the families involved read out the names and details of the players who died.

Participants included Janette Allen, a great-granddaughter the Rev James Caldwell, the Presbyterian minister who lost three sons in the tragedy;

Lynne Leonhardt, a descendant of William Coles who ironically played on his cornet “The Ship that Never Returned”; and Janet Groves, a greatgreat-niece of William Allchin, who was only able to join his friends the Caldwell boys on the trip home when Mr Short, the manager of the Commercial Bank, gave up his spot.

The names and details of other players were read out by Mornington Football Club president Robert Smith and Mornington and District Historical Society vice-president Val Wilson.

Author Paul Kennedy, whose book Fifteen Young Men was published last year, gave a graphic account of the event, and a framed photograph

of policeman Sergeant Murphy was presented to Victoria police.

Mornington and District Historical Society, which organised the service, considers that Sergeant Murphy gave exceptional leadership to residents in the little seaside village at the time.

His portrait is to be displayed in the Mornington police station.

After the ceremony the crowd watched from the clifftop as a fishing boat similar to the Process sailed from Mornington harbour in the direction of Mordialloc.

Mornington footballers wearing team colours lined the foreshore and a lone piper played a lament. It was a poignant moment. Peter McCullough

Change beach off-leash rules to suit the season McCrae Beach has a sign stating you cannot have your dog off lead until 5pm after the end of daylight savings which lasts six months. I’m allowed to walk my dog off lead during daylight saving times after 7pm when there can be hundreds of people on the beach.

If I want to take my dog for a run of the beach she must be on a lead. She is a much loved dog, very well socialised, obedient animal, who is loved by everybody, especially the beachgoers who stop me constantly to pat her or have her photo taken with their children.

What chance does she have to run, chase a ball, swim, or interact with other dogs on a lead?

In winter it is quite often dark around 4pm.

My father fought for this country, so we could be free. As a keen dog owner he would be appalled at this rule.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is failing in its duty of care by creating an unsafe situation. You cannot see any hazards, or other people or dogs at this time of day.

For six months of the year we are obligated to follow the rules. I have no problem with that, the beachgoers and holidaymakers deserve this.

The rule should be either abandoned or changed to say after 1pm.

As an old age pensioner I’m encouraged to stay active and to keep up my social skills. I can walk on the Bay Trail any time, as long as my dog is on a lead. If I want to let her run loose on an abandoned beach I’m somehow breaking the law.

There is nothing better than walking on the beach with your best friend, feeling the wind in your face and listening to the waves.

Ron Moore (and “Gloria”), Rosebud

The Hastings Club I for one will not be sad to hear of the demise of one less gambling venue. Unlike Brian Stahl I see The Hastings Club as a pokies venue taking advantage of people’s unhealthy addiction. (“History ignored” Letters 16/5/17).

If the club has donated close to $1 million back to the community, how much has it taken off the unfortunate.

I have played the pokies but am not addicted, not like some I know whose families have suffered.

Perhaps the councillors and executive office of the Mornington Peninsula Shire have some of their relatives among those who have suffered.

Good on them. John C Buckwell, Crib Point

Comfort by The Eagle I thank Nigel Atkins for highlighting that the new Parks Victoria ‘Changing Places’ amenities block at the base of Arthurs Seat has been recognised in the 2017 Total Facilities awards. This was only the third such facility in the state, the first on or near the Mornington Peninsula and is well known throughout the disability community

(“Loo without view” Letters 2/5/17).

Unfortunately Mr Atkins appears to think that it can only be used by patrons of the Arthurs Seat Eagle. Not at all. Adjacent to the amenities block is a free and modern car park (including disabled parking) and many in the disability community are well aware that they are welcome to use it as they wish (and as they do).

We at The Eagle are pleased that we are able to provide a wonderful cable car experience that brings much pleasure to everyone including those living with a disability. Accessibility is important to us.

We are also delighted that Parks Victoria has erected, on adjacent land and conveniently close to the peninsula freeway, a progressive toilet facility for public use. This is a terrific example of how a public private partnership can work for the benefit of all.

Simon McKeon, chairman Arthurs Seat Eagle

Fees concern I read with interest your article “Centres ‘talks are not negotiations’” (The Times 22/5/17). I am a rate paying Frankston resident and regular PARC (Peninsula Aquatic Centre) user.

The PARC centre is an outstanding facility and a great asset to our community.

Your comment that $352,000 is budgeted by Frankston Council for “directors fees (PARC)” raises many questions.

Please continue your inquiries.

Jennifer Dicker, Frankston

Budget confusion I am both confused and concerned regarding Martin Dixon’s recent comments about the state budget.

On the 16 May (“Missing in budget” Letters) he states that in his analysis the Mornington Peninsula received nothing. However, on 23 May (“Students’ bus here to stay” The News) he states that the budget includes permanent funding and extension of services for bus route 887.

Did he forget to put on his glasses when reading the budget earlier?

Of significant concern is the pride he exhibits in having “dragged the Andrew’s government kicking and screaming”.

As a Member of Parliament why would you advocate violent methods particularly given the Labor state government’s leading initiative of a royal commission into family violence and commitment to all recommendations.

Are his stated methods merited, given that the budget allocated the required funds prior to even the completion of the trials extension?

Jane Clarke, Rosebud

Polly speak Comedy? I was amused by Martin Dixon’s letter (“Missing in budget” 16/5/17) referring to [Premier Daniel Andrews’] budget contribution to

Police patrol Site rampage VANDALS ransacked a Parks Victoria property in Hunter St, Rosebud, overnight Sunday 21 May. They slashed tyres on 10 rangers’ cars, forced their way into sheds and sprayed graffiti on walls. Detectives on Monday afternoon were trying to determine what had been taken and examining forensic evidence. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Car crashed A THIEF started a car and drove it into a tree outside a house in Cain St, Capel Sound, 2.35am, Sunday 21 May. A resident, 56, had earlier heard someone walking around inside the house but assumed it was a family

member. She then saw someone in her partner’s car which then ran into the tree on the nature strip. The person ran from the car. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Camera stolen AN SLR camera was stolen from a house in Sixth Av, Rosebud, between 6am-7pm, Thursday 18 May. The Canon D600 is valued at $1000.

Police said it appeared someone used a key to access the house, which is occasionally rented out on Airbnb. The house was ransacked.

Mower taken A $600 Rover lawnmower was stolen from a house in Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud, between 2 April and 21 May.

the Mornington Peninsula ($0) and attributed it to either a memory loss on Martin’s part through the ageing process or simply that our former education minister was in stirring mode, surely the latter?

I decided not to respond as it was near enough to certain one John Cain would attend to it admirably, as was the case, albeit with no hope of his suggestion in making the electorate marginal at the next election (“Marginal pays off” Letters 23/5/17). If Danny loses the next election maybe Matthew Guy will see the light, as indeed pigs may fly.

Perhaps the upgrade of the Rye shopping precinct as suggested for the past 20 years? Always nice to hear from Brian A Mitchelson explaining away other reader’s interpretations of his contributions (“Against the wind” Letters 23/5/17).

Clifford W Ellen, Rye

Give and take Martin Dixon’s letter (“Missing in budget” 16/5/17) manages to claim there is $0 in the 2017/18 Victorian budget for the peninsula while simultaneously taking credit for the funding given by the Andrews government for the Peninsula Bus service.

The government committed almost $2 billion in the budget to preventing and responding to family violence, a historic response to one of our community’s greatest challenges. This funding will significantly enhance service delivery for vulnerable families across the peninsula.

As well as a further $50 million over the coming two years for the Growing Suburbs Fund, which will help to support community infrastructure provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The Andrews government is investing $300 million to complete the Mordialloc bypass which will directly benefit residents of the peninsula while continuing to create jobs at more than double the rate of the previous government.

Magpie molester Three cheers for the old age delinquent with family at Sorrento ocean beach car park (4 May) for persistently harassing a baby magpie sitting quietly on a “Please take your rubbish home” sign, in a futile attempt to get it to perch on his arm. My two polite requests to leave the baby magpie alone were met with silent indifference – clearly confusing a national park with an amusement park.

All schools benefit I am writing to contest the schools’ “data” provided by the Daniel Andrew’s State Labor Government (“Schools’ budget gain and claims” The News 15/5/17).

Contrary to state Labor’s claims every school from every sector in the electorate of Dunkley will receive an increase in funding under the Coalition’s needs-based fairer Gonski education reforms.

State Labor’s publication of figures based on the “Better schools funding” 2013 election promise from the former Labor federal government, incorrectly indicates there are cuts in store for schools in Dunkley. These figures are entirely false considering Labor’s election promise was never legislated, never implemented and

never funded.

Despite these deceitful cries claiming there are severe cuts in store for our schools, all 51 schools in Dunkley will receive a funding increase under the federal Coalition’s plan from their current funding levels.

For example: Mornington Secondary College will receive $229,300 more in 2018 and $14,172,500 more by 2027; Frankston High School $233,000 and then $14,405,400; Mt Eliza Secondary College $74,300 and $4,589,800; Mt Erin Secondary College $149,500 and $9,237,900; Kingsley Park Primary School $50,600 and $3,131,500; Langwarrin Primary School $68,900 and $4,255,800; Elisabeth Murdoch College $247,600 and $15,303,500.

Our plan invests $331 million more in needsbased funding into Dunkley schools over the next four years. We’re delivering long-term funding certainty for schools and communities and ensuring everybody is treated fairly and equitably.

Our plan factors in the background, family life, levels of disability and socio-economic status of each student and school to ensure funding is truly needs-based and fair.

Everyone can see for themselves exactly how our plan will benefit their school by visiting education.gov.au/qualityschools and clicking through to the schools funding estimator.

Australia unsuitable I nearly choked on my cereal when I heard the Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was vying Australia should have a seat on the human rights’ committee in the United Nations.

Was it fake news? No, apparently it is true.

What a cheek.

While we keep refugees and asylum seekers locked up in the most inhumane circumstances on Manus Island and Nauru is, in my opinion, a violation of human rights.

The unimaginable pain and angst of these people not knowing where they will end up or even live.

Given the tragic deaths of several of them, either through violence or medical neglect, Australia is not worthy of a seat on the human rights committee, disgracefully the ALP remains silent on these matters. Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Curtailing cancer The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared 31 May “World No Tobacco Day”. Bravo.

We’ve known about the link between smoking and cancer for more than 60 years and any opportunity to remind people to quit is welcome.

Meat, which is much more widely consumed than cigarettes, can also be deadly. The WHO ranks processed meats as group 1 carcinogens – bacon, ham, and sausages are now in the same category as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic, and tobacco as a major cause of cancer, while red meat more generally is in the 2A “probably carcinogenic” category. The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that each 50-gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases a person’s risk of developing colorectal cancer by 18 per cent. Research also shows that meat-eaters are about 40 per cent more likely to get cancer than people who eat plant-based foods. Laura Weyman-Jones, PETA Australia

Lions celebrate a century GUEST speaker Dr Susan Alberti entertained 120 guests at the Lions Club of Flinders celebratory dinner on Friday 12 May. The function at Flinders Golf Club commemorated 100 years since the foundation of Lions International and its 48 years of service to the Flinders community.

Dr Alberti spoke about her life and commitment to Footscray Football Club and women in the AFL. Her dedication to medical research – particularly raising money for research to find a cure for Diabetes Type 1 – has become her life’s work since her only daughter died of complications arising from the disease.

Diabetes is a major focus for Lions International fundraising in this centennial year.

Award winner: Keith Hando with wife Barbara, left, and Lions vice-president Monica Holland.

Flinders Lions president Mark Holland recounted the history of Lions and its projects over the years. He outlined some of the initiatives and described the Flinders club’s early projects.

Keith Hando was presented with

a Melvin Jones fellowship award, named after the Lions founder. The award is the highest form of recognition and embodies humanitarian ideas consistent with the nature and purpose of Lions.

Sports ‘empire building’ bid ends Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au EXPANSION plans by a company set up by Frankston Council to manage swim centres have been sunk by councillors.

Councillors at the May council meeting last week voted 5-3 to instruct Peninsula Leisure Pty Ltd directors “not to enter into or tender for projects outside of their core obligation, that being the management of PARC and the Pines Pool�.

The vote came after The News revealed Peninsula Leisure, established in 2012 and wholly owned by Frankston Council, last year expressed an interest in managing Mornington Peninsula Shire council sports centres (“Sports ‘in the swim’�, The News 16/5/17).

Councillors who voted to stop Peninsula Leisure bidding to take over sports and recreation centres outside Frankston municipality voiced concerns, while praising the company’s running of the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre, about ratepayers being exposed to “financial risks� through “empire building�.

Cr Colin Hampton said directors “have done a magnificent job� running PARC but he was “very concerned� when he heard Peninsula Leisure “wanted to branch out and put in expressions of interest elsewhere�. “I’m just being conservative. I do not want to risk ratepayers’ money in any way,� Cr Hampton said. “We have been burnt too may times – far too many times.�

Life aquatic: Peninsula Leisure will not expand its management of sports centres beyond Frankston’s reach after councillors voted down any expansion plans. Picture: Gary Sissons

Cr Glenn Aitken supported his fellow longtime councillor’s view. “Cr Hampton remembers only too well the disaster with ‘the Gandel development experiment’ many years ago.�

Council was forced to sell Central Park nearly two decades ago to the Gandel Corporation over a failed public-private partnership to build what became the Bayside Shopping Centre. “I don’t want to see this council go into another major risk area. The PARC management currently at Peninsula Leisure are doing an extremely good job and certainly have demonstrated the ability to be able to handle facilities

like this,� Cr Aitken said. “The interest they’ve shown in branching out is good from their perspective but at a council level, essentially a parent body in a sense, to have connections in any way with facilities in diverse or distant places takes it out of the realm of our immediate observation.�

Cr Kris Bolam said he was concerned about “overextension� and “empire building�. “[It’s] taking away focus from the Frankston PARC facility which we’ve spent many millions on and the Pines pool that deserves any attention right now,� he said. “From what I am hear-

ing, Peninsula Leisure are doing a great job at maintaining both facilities.�

Cr Sandra Mayer did not want councillors to limit Peninsula Peninsula’s board and “tie their hands�. “I’ve done the company directors’ course. I interviewed all the people that are on the board except, I think, there’s one new one and one left,� she said. “There always an element of risk ... the legal advice that we got was that this was ‘low risk’ and the only possible risk was I think ‘political’ or ‘reputational’ they called it.

Cr Mayer said the Peninsula Leisure board members “are highly, highly qualified would not take on something

that is high risk, I don’t believe.�

The directors of Peninsula Leisure are – chair Roseanne Healy who is also a director on many South Australia company boards; remuneration and reward committee chair Barbara Crook; strategy and marketing committee chair David Shilbury; audit and risk committee chair Simon Allatson and Phillip Johnson who is also chief financial officer of South East Water.

Mayor Cr Brian Cunial said: “The rewards, in my view, that Peninsula Leisure can deliver to not just this municipality but also to the region far outweigh any risks which can, in my opinion, be considered standard business risks.�

Cr Cunial did acknowledge councillors were concerned about expansion plans. “[Peninsula Leisure] quite rightly should be telling us about any initiatives being explored pursued outside the region,� he said. “Unfortunately, it does appear we haven’t been made fully aware of some of those.�

Crs Aitken, Bolam, Hampton, Quinn McCormack and Lillian O’Connor voted to instruct Peninsula Leisure to only operate the two Frankston swim centres.

Crs Cunial, Mayer and Steve Toms voted against the proposal. Cr Michael O’Reilly was on leave and was absent from the meeting.

Cr Bolam said Peninsula Leisure could approach councillors at any time to discuss the possibility of managing sports centres within the municipality if a business plan was presented to council.

WHAT’S NEW...

Ray trumpets his success after his hearing blooms SERVING the local community for 15 years, Huon Clough from bloom hearing specialists, is well and truly an expert when it comes to hearing.

“I wear hearing aids myself which makes me able to relate a lot more to the customer,” said Mr Clough, an audiologist for thirty years.

“The thing about bloom that is different is the customer is the primary focus. They are a name and not a number.

We take a very personal approach to it all and at the end of the day it’s about customer satisfaction. On our national point scoring reports, we have consistently had the highest customer satisfaction rate in the country.”

Mr Clough has clients going back as far as 25 years, and now generations of customers from the same family.

“Ninety percent of our business is repeat business; grandmas, mothers and daughters from the same family often come in” said Mr Clough, who was introduced to the idea of being an audiologist from a young age.

“When I was at school we had a hearing impaired class beside us and I always thought it would be so rewarding to help people with their hearing at the end of the day.”

And Mr Clough is delighted with the progress of hearing aids over the years, being able to help more people with this important sense.

“The hearing aids are a lot smaller and clearer these days. When I started in 1985 the hearing aids were all analogue and they made one decision a second, making soft sounds louder and loud sounds louder. That didn’t change until about 1998 when digital technology came in. We thought it was amaz-

ing that the new hearing aids back then made 100,000 decisions a second, but now they make 600 million calculations per second, and they talk to each other the left and the right one 21 times a second,” said Mr Clough of the progression of hearing aids. “What that actually means is that the hearing aids are automatic and the microchips inside are so miniature they adapt to noises in the room. They will pick up when it’s quiet and when it’s noisy, and adapt.”

Local man Ray Johns is a wonderful example of the difference good hearing aids can make.

The owner of Red Hill Bakery in Balnarring has 45 employees and a very busy life baking and managing his staff and his hearing aids have made all the difference.

“Now when I get a phone call I push the phone and it will go straight to my hearing aids. I can adjust the volume from my phone and can put my hearing aids onto a music program as well,” said Ray. “Even when I am playing my trumpet I can hook the hearing aids to it without interference. If I get a phone call, the trumpet will disconnect and I can then take it.”

Mr Clough says at bloom, they get people of all ages needing assistance.

“The new BeyondTM hearing aids absolutely change peoples lives and we are proud to say we are the first to get this new technology so as the improvements happen, we can offer them to our customers,” said Mr Clough. bloom hearing specialists are at 1016 Nepean Plaza, Rosebud.

Phone 5982 3511 www.bloomhearing.com.au

Music to his ears: Ray Johns has a new lease on life with his BeyondTM hearing aids. He is seen here with audiologist Nick Petersen and audiometrist Huon Clough from bloom hearing specialists.

Finally! A made-for-iPhone hearing aid with awesome sound.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Three Frankston men killed in action in France

Compiled by Cameron McCullough WE note that Mr and Mrs Masterton, have donated another £100 to the Red Cross Funds. *** MR Percy Fuller, of the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd., Mornington branch, was married at Glen Huntly last week. *** THE Somerville Red Cross Society intend holding a concert on Saturday next, 9th June, when a first class programme will be rendered by St. Stephens’ Choir and their talented singers. *** THE Australian Club invite all members to “Clarendon” House, Frankston, on Sunday, 10th June, on the occasion of entertaining 100 returned soldiers. *** MESSRS Eric McLeod, W. H. Rennick, and C. W. Johnson, all Frankston property owners, we regret to say, have been killed in action in France. *** A GENERAL meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association will be held on Monday evening next, when the following business will be brought forward.

Election of trustee, leasing of show ground, and general. *** ONE hundred and fifty returned sick and wounded soldiers will be entertained at luncheon at 2 o’clock this (Saturday) afternoon, in the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall, by the ladies of the local Red Cross Society.

The Langwarrin Band will play selections during the afternoon. ***

WE hear that a big effort is being made locally, to induce one of Frankston’s leading, and most respected residents, to allow himself to be nominated to contest a seat in the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council. *** A VERY successful social on behalf of the Frankston Methodist Church Trust was given by the young folk of the church on Saturday evening last.

Miss Purvis occupied the chair.

The School Hall was well filled and a very enjoyable time was spent.

The programme was contributed to

by Misses Croskell, Barber, Carr, G. Twining and Goodie and Messrs Barber and Marchant. Miss F. Tonkin played the accompaniments.

There were a number of amusing competitions which created considerable interest.

Advantage was taken to “farewell” Lance Corporal F. Bray who is about to proceed to the front.

Rev. E. Tonkin on behalf of the Sunday School Teachers presented him with a Khaki-bound bible; and on behalf of a number of friends, with a fountain pen and leather belt.

At the conclusion, the young folks handed around refreshments. *** ON Tuesday evening Mr J. Holley nurseryman, residing at Mornington Junction, was crossing the railway line near the junction of Cranbourne and main Gippsland roads, when a goods train crashed into the vehicle he was driving.

Holley was found to be seriously injured, and was conveyed to Miss Cambell’s private hospital at Dandenong.

He is suffering from internal injuries

and several fractured ribs.

His condition is reported to be critical. *** EMPIRE Day was celebrated at the Mount Eliza State School on the 24th inst.

The children, after saluting the flag went through a number of exercises most creditably, under the leadership of Miss Poultnap, the head teacher.

The Rev A. P. M’Farlone and Mr Wall suitably addressed the children, after which a programme of sports was gone through, prizes for which were subscribed for on the ground to the amount of over £2, Mr A. Davey generously donating 10s 6d towards that object, and also acting as judge for the different events, Messrs Dixon and Walker doing the handicapping.

A successful social was held in the schoolroom in the evening, carried out by the school committee, at which a sale of surplus donations was held, realising 17s 6d, making a total of £2 6s which was raised during the day for the benefit of the British Red Cross fund. *** AMERICA promises to be one of our best Allies in this great war.

Her huge organised resources will help up considerably to victory.

Mr J. D. Rockfellow. the Oil Magnate and head of the Standard Oil Coy., last week took out two further bonds in the Liberty War Loan, bring his subscription to date to the huge sum of £25,000,000. *** A SUBSCRIPTION list has been opened is several of the business places inFrankston for the purpose of making a suitable presentation to Mr C. P. Wat-

son, who has been manager of the local branch of the State Savings Bank for the past five years.

Mr Watson took his departure for Sale at the begining of the week, to which branch he has been promoted. *** THE “Wattle’’ Club advertise that the first of a series of euchre parties will commence on Thursday evening next.

Prizes for the tournament are donated

by Mrs Deane and Mrs Moloney.

A dance will be held at the conclusion of the card playing, so that it will be advisable to commence the euchre at eight o’clock.

Supper will be provided and a good evening’s enjoyment is assured.

A dance, in aid of the “Anzac Buffet” will be held this (Saturday) evening.

Every thing is being done to ensure a successful entertainment. Music, supper and floor will all be of the best. *** FORESHORE PRIVILEGES. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,–It is with disgust and no little amusement that I read the silly, childish letters written and Published in the “ Standard.”

The letters are like spoilt children quarreling over a toy.

Fault is found with Mr G. E. Thomas’ motor house. Well it is no eye sore and in no one’s way. It does not obstruct the roadway, and Mr Thomas pays the Council the fee charged for permission to erect it on the foreshore.

Then comes a novel bathing box and boathouse, belonging to Mr Anderson.

It again is no eye sore to any beach, and it is enough to make people never visit our picturesque Frankston, when they

look along the beach and see such a lot of dilapidated looking affairs arrayed in no straight line.

Mr Utber complains of people feasting on the beach at their bathing boxes.

Well, it is much over the odds if people cannot have morning tea, afternoon tea, or any other meal on the beach that they please. I always understood that the beach was a free pleasure ground for everyone.

Then again, Mr Utber or Mr Atcheson do not pay for either a boathouse or a bathing box. I have seen Mr Utber crossing the Mornington road (a much used road by the public) in his bathing suit, without either kimono or dressing gown on.

Well now, if any one was to do such a thing in the town or near it, they would be very soon stopped.

What I think of all this quarreling about such a trifle as these picturesque boat and bathing houses on the beach is that these worthy gentlemen, not paying a boat or bathinghouse fee, think they will stir up our quiet little town to fight.

They are not content with the peaceful shores of Australia. They want fight.

Well, if such is the case, let them leave our peaceful Australia and its folk in peace and go and take their paces alongside our brave boys, and do their bit of fighting in France with the rifle in their hands (that is if they have the pluck).

If not, obey the commandments, and love your neighbours yourself, and live at peace with all the world A SOLDIER’S WIFE. May 30th, 1917. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 June 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A Simple Guide to Solving Everything

By Stuart McCullough APPARENTLY, there’s no silver bullet to fix housing affordability. This is clearly some kind of sick joke. Previously, we’ve been told there’s no silver bullet for the Global Financial Crisis, cyber security, the fight against childhood obesity, increasing diversity, the war on terror (where, presumably, a silver bullet would come in handy), work/life balance, better freeway commuting times, longer life spans, global warming, sustainable retirement incomes, poverty, energy and making sure the 7.08 from Frankton to Flinders Street gets away on time. Despite this, no one’s willing to call out what is clearly a national crisis – we are running out of silver bullets.

Who’d have thought that the key to our prosperity and future happiness should be so inextricably tied to the supply of novelty munitions? Silver bullets, it must be said, are hard to come by. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a silver bullet, much less deployed one to solve some kind of intractable problem. All I can say is, given our dog’s recent efforts in digging up our lawn, I don’t think they’re buried in our backyard. Chances are, somebody somewhere has a stockpile.

It is now our sacred duty to find these blessed problem-solving vessels.

So where to begin? My mind immediately turns to some kind of national treasure hunt – much like the Pokémon Go thing but without the awkwardness of having people hypnotically glued to their phones before blithely stepping out in front of fast-

moving public transport. This would be a far more focused affair. Hoards of eager volunteers would scour local parks, drains and check behind the couch cushions. Any silver bullets would then be sent to a central collection point where they would be stored before being used for the greater good. Think ‘Cash A Can’ on steroids.

Sadly, silver bullets, much like twenty-dollar notes, do not grow on trees. Which is a pity. It’d be superconvenient if all we had to do is hand people a bucket and ask them to wander through the orchard, picking ripe silver bullets to their heart’s content.

Perhaps science could help. In fact, I know it can. All we have to do is get the Vacanti Mouse back on the job and – before you can ‘mutant’ –

we’ll have the problem licked. Forget breeding a rodent with a human ear growing on its back; let’s make one that pops out little silver bullets whenever it’s had too much fibre. That way, we could sweep those suckers up and shovel them into a hessian sack. I feel we’re on to something.

I have to admit, though, armaments are not my area of expertise. I don’t know whether silver bullets are multipurpose and can be used for a wide range of reasons or whether they’re issue specific. Personally, I think they ought to be flexible. I understand that, sometimes, it can be useful to specialize. I mean, you can eat a steak with a butter knife if you want to, but it’s definitely not the best tool for the job.

Chances are we’ll need a variety of

silver bullets if we’re to solve all our problems. But I still feel as though I don’t know enough about this most elusive of objects.

So I decide to plug myself in to the gargantuan human databank of knowledge that is the Internet. As I search the term ‘silver bullet’, I’m beyond surprised by the results. By Googling the term ‘silver bullet’ I discover that they’re readily available for the somewhat reasonable price of $69.95. We’ve been misled. Turns out the whole ‘silver bullet’ shortage is nothing but a complete furphy. All those folks claiming that there’s no silver bullet were simply not looking hard enough.

Granted, I was a little shocked to find that a ‘silver bullet’ was not, as

I had previously assumed, a form of fancy-pants ammunition. Rather, it turns out the ‘silver bullet’ is a brand of hair accessories. Whilst it’s not immediately clear to me what use a ceramic conical curling iron would be in solving the issue of housing affordability, by locating silver bullets in such plentiful supply, I feel that we’re over the first very, very large hurdle.

But wait, there’s more.

More than a high quality curling iron, the term ‘silver bullet’ also refers to a ‘magical solution to an intractable problem’. Fair enough. But what’s disturbing is that the expression originates from the belief that werewolves could only be slain with a silver bullet. That’s right. Every time you hear one our great policy makers use the term ‘silver bullet’, they’re referring to a magical weapon used to slay werewolves. And if the connection between housing affordability, global warming and a host of other tricky social issues and some lycanthrope-slaying armament eludes you, then I suspect you’d be forgiven.

If, at this very moment, you’re turning your house upside down in search of hard-to-get munitions, call off the search. As it turns out, there are no silver bullets because, well, there really are no silver bullets. Much like unicorns, they simply don’t exist (apologies to unicorn fans – but you were bound to find out eventually). But at least werewolves are real. Or at least I think they are. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Redlegs make a statement PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT ELIZA was able to put a tough week behind it and get back on the winnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list in superb fashion on Saturday, steam rolling Karingal.

It was a rough week for the Redlegs with one of their young stars Brodie Shaw going down in the final quarter last week with a compound fracture of his leg.

However, with a successful surgery and a few days to recover behind them, the Redlegs were able to focus on the job at hand on Saturday and put Karingal to the sword.

Kicking with the wind in the first quarter at Frankston Park, the Redlegs were able to boot six goals to zip and should have been further ahead than 41 points after having 13 scoring shots to two.

In the third quarter with Justin Van Unen (eight goals), Dan Gormley (three goals), Shaun Knott and Jimmy Freeman all dominating in attack, the Redlegs were able to ram on another nine goals with the wind and go on to record a 19.12 (126) to 7.7 (49) win.

Karingal has been a well-structured, competitive team this season and has pushed the best, however, Mt Eliza was at a different level on Saturday.

Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aaron Edwards made it 17 goals in two matches and 31 for the season when he booted eight majors against Chelsea.

The Pythons dominated across four quarters and were able to stop Chelseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three game winning streak.

Guy Hendry controlled the match across half back and Corey Ash has taken his game to a new level since being given run with roles. He has taken some big scalps, including Joel Miller and Michael Burke.

Pines booted eight goals to zip in the opening quarter and went on to win 21.12 (138) to 10.9 (69).

Seaford set up an exciting RPP Match of the Day top of the table clash against Pines next weekend with another impressive victory on Saturday, this time against Edithvale-Aspendale.

Only four points separated the sides at half time before the Tigers came out after the long break, booting 10 goals to six to win 16.17 (113) to 12.10 (82).

Dean Williamson was superb with four goals, Damien Rayson was dominant once again and Matt McCormack helped himself to four goals also.

Liam Harris and Callan Vandyke were the best of the Eagles.

Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season is officially over after Bonbeach led all day to win

14.7 (91) to 10.5 (65).

The difference between the sides was Bonbeachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to take advantage of the wind advantage and then keep pressing when it was game on in the final term.

With just seven points separating the sides at three quarter time, Shane McDonald booted two goals and Darcy James and Lachy Stenning hit the scoreboard too in the last to take the game away from the Dogs.

Beau Bailey was a welcome return from the VFL for the Sharks and Justin Bennett and Dylan Jones were at their best also.

Kieran Bird and Michael Gay were the best of the Dogs.

Frankston YCW bounced back after a disappointing game last week and completed the expected and beat Langwarrin, 13.13 (91) to 6.10 (46).

Josh Butland booted four and Kyle Hutchison dominated for the Stonecats while Matty LaFontaine returned from Collingwood and impressed after kicking a goal with the Pies last week.

Gerard Brown and Kieran Albanese booted three and two goals respectively while Shane Paterson was once again the Kangasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best.

Taking flight: Despite this big grab, Edithvale-Aspendale went down to Seaford Tigers by 31 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

The upsets continue in Nepean Division NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE evenness and unpredictability of the 2017 Nepean Division season continued on Saturday.

Rosebud caused the upset of the round when it headed to the home of reigning premier Hastings and touched them up to the tune of 41 points.

The Buds enjoy the open spaces of Thomas Barclay Oval and the ground holds no fear for them, given their great record there over the past few years. It proved to be the case from the opening bounce on Saturday.

Rosebud really set up its win in the second quarter when it was able to defend well against the breeze and go into the long break with a 16 point lead.

With the wind in the third, the Buds were able to extend the lead to 27 points and with the wind dying down in last, put the opposition to the sword and kicked away to enjoy a convincing 12.15 (87) to 6.10 (46) win.

Perhaps Hastings started to drink their own bath water on the back of some impressive victories.

A total of 27 scoring shots to just 16 highlighted Rosebudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domination.

Anyone thinking Rosebud isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite at the level were reminded on Saturday that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still well and truly in the mix.

Keegan Downie was sensational with four goals, Ben Dwyer was at his best in the ruck and dominated Josh Mulheron and Greg Bentley was his usual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rolls Royceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; self.

Stevey Robb with three goals was the best of the Blues.

Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Winters-Kerr went out of football in the best possible way on Saturday, booting four goals as his team knocked over Devon Meadows in another upset.

The Meadows, who again forfeited Under 19s, have shown pretty good form in the past month and were ex-

pected to win.

However, in Winters-Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200th and final senior game, Rye dominated across four quarters, winning 16.8 (104) to 9.12 (66). Winters-Kerr became only the 10th player in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history to play 200.

With a new look, young side, I would think beating Devon at Devon would have been one of the most satisfying wins the club has experienced in recent memory.

Pearcedale booted the opening three goals of the game with the wind against Red Hill on Saturday. It took until the 15-minute mark of the final quarter for the Panthers to kick their fourth.

Southern Peninsula News 30 May 2017

In the meantime, the Hillmen bangedon 21 goals and humiliated the opposition in front of their own crowd, 21.17 (143) to 4.12 (36).

Make no mistake, this was a new low for Pearcedale coach Leigh Stewart, who was confident his side could get the job done against the Hillmen.

The fact is the clubs are poles apart.

To make matters worse, former Pearcedale players Dylan Hoare and Chris Irving dominated for the Hillmen, booting two goals each and controlling the game throughout.

In another upset, Dromana headed to Crib Point and not only won, but belted

the home team by almost 100 points, 22.17 (149) to 9.12 (66).

Sam Fowler was back from Northern Bullants and booted four while Ethan Johnstone and Sam Guerts dominated.

In the final game, Sorrento played one outstanding quarter of football and it was enough to beat Somerville by 43 points, 16.14 (110) to 9.13 (67).

The Eagles trailed by 11 points at half time despite having four more scoring shots and in the final quarter, they booted five goals to three.

The problem was, it allowed Sorrento to boot 7.8 to 1.2 in the third quarter and blow them away.

Sorrento skipper James Hallahan was the best player on the ground, providing enormous drive from half back, Nick Corp marked everything that came near him in attack and Chris Dawes kicked a sensational right foot snap goal against the boundary line after sharking it from the ruck.

The Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that far away but height is a major issue for them, as is a lack of concentration for periods of time.

In better news for the Eagles, there were rumours around the ground that key forward Luke Rowe may return, while Justin Farrelly may come back sooner than expected.

Brilliant Belger wins it for Langy, Eagles finally fly SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie TWO goals in the final two minutes gave Langwarrin a stunning 2-1 win over Mornington in Saturday’s derby at Dallas Brooks Park.

Connor Belger’s 91st minute strike was a goal for the ages and left Mornington players and fans gobsmacked.

Langwarrin had equalised in the 90th minute after Alex Metcalfe’s curled strike from the left.

The ball eluded Liam Baxter’s attempted header and deflected off Mornington stopper Steve Elliott before sneaking inside the far post.

A minute later Langy keeper Robbie Acs gathered then launched a long kick downfield.

Belger trapped the ball inside his attacking half then surged forward before unleashing a 30-metre strike that sailed over Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy who was at full stretch and into an unguarded goal.

The remarkable strike triggered a celebration among the Langy faithful that released the emotions built up over recent years from playing second fiddle to Adam Jamieson’s outfit.

And when the final whistle sounded Langwarrin had beaten Mornington for just the second time in 11 games and surged seven points clear of second-placed Caulfield United in the race to win the championship and clinch a spot in Victoria’s elite National Premier League.

Mornington had suffered a setback prior to the kick-off when captain Simon Webster failed a fitness test.

He was replaced in the starting line-up by Josh Valadon, returning from injury, with Nico Georgopoulos replacing Valadon on the bench.

Langy was without captain Boris Ovcin who was on holiday in Las Vegas, Caleb Nicholes was interstate, John Guthrie was suspended and gun central defender Kieron Kenny was still recovering from a quad injury.

Mornington looked threatening from the outset.

Ryan Paczkowski’s pace and guile was evident in the early exchanges and Langy coach Gus Macleod was forced to rejig his defence with Nick Thorogood marking the dangerous Wayne Gordon.

Mornington should have hit the front in the 32nd minute but Paul Speed and Lewis Foster combined to clear Elliott’s header off the line.

In the 39th minute Belger’s left foot strike from just outside the area was mistimed and flashed wide and a minute later Andy McIntyre’s intercept fell to Paczkowski whose low leftfoot shot beat Acs for the opener.

In the 43rd minute Belger missed

a great chance to level but he headed just wide following a Thorogood cross.

Paczkowski should have stretched Mornington’s lead three minutes into the second half after a defensive blunder but he shot into the side netting from close range.

Aaran Currie’s free kick in the 59th minute glanced off Valadon’s head and onto the bar before being scrambled clear and in the 64th minute Jack Truelove’s cross from the left found Matty Wade unmarked at the far post but he headed wide.

With five minutes of normal time left Belger’s shot in the 85th minute was blocked, substitute Nabil Mozaffarrudin headed down from the rebound but McEvoy parried Metcalfe’s shot from 10 metres.

Mornington substitute Nathan Smith curled his 88th minute attempt just wide of the far post before Metcalfe and Belger turned this contest on its head.

Saturday 27 May 2017 is an historic day for Somerville Eagles who won their first league game in State 5 South by beating White Star Dandenong 3-0 at Greaves Reserve.

For posterity the Eagles’ line-up was Neil Herd, Ciaran McConville, Kevin McCormack, Matthew Swanson, Mark McIvor, Joel Wade, Jarryd Lymer, Damien Finnegan, Alex Colville, Patrick Acha, Liam Morgan.

Substitutes: Ryan Francis, Mathew Roach, James McKenzie, Bailey Henderson.

Lymer (19th and 29th minutes) and McIvor (51st) were the goalscorers and immediately became Eagles immortals.

“Finally we got the win. The song was sung with gusto let me tell you,” said an excited Eagles president and assistant coach Felix Arena.

Eagles’ striker Eric Manahong has recovered from injury and is expected to come into the matchday squad for Saturday’s home game at Barber

Reserve against Rowville Eagles.

Frankston Pines went down 3-2 to Beaumaris at Beaumaris Reserve in Saturday’s State 2 South-East clash.

Cedric Permal scored his first goal for Pines in the 35th minute and substitute Ioasa Saemo was played in by Jack Wrobel in the 72nd minute and finished well.

Beaumaris striker Toby Nowell notched a hat-trick.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United found another way to drop points late in the game when it lost 2-1 away to Old Scotch in their State 2 South-East fixture last weekend.

The sides were deadlocked at the interval after a first half in which the home side transitioned quickly whenever it won possession while Seaford took a more conservative approach playing into the wind.

Three minutes into the second half Old Scotch hit the front after a poor pass from Matty Morris-Thomas allowed Piotr Korczyk to skip clear and sidefoot the ball past Seaford keeper Harrison Burgess.

In the 70th minute a long high ball into the attacking half caught out the Old Scotch defenders appealing for offside against a Seaford striker who made no attempt to attack the ball.

Alex Roberts broke clear and rounded Old Scotch keeper James Toulson before making it 1-1.

In the 78th minute Seaford failed to deal with a corner and Sam Shearer got the final touch for what proved to be the winner.

Peninsula Strikers won 1-0 at home against Heatherton United in a State 2 South-East fixture last weekend thanks to a 36th minute Sam Scott goal.

Skye United lost 4-2 to ladder leader and championship favourite Knox City in their State 3 SouthEast contest at Egan Lee Reserve on Saturday.

Skye kicked off proceedings in less than a minute when Daniel Attard’s toe-poke sent Jason Nowakowski clear and he finished well to put the visitors ahead.

However Knox prevailed for the rest of the half and deservedly went into the shed 3-1 up with goals from Nem Verscharen (18th minute), Phil Hawkins (24th), and Matthew Hames (30th).

Knox continued to dominate in the second half and Sam Wheeler made it 4-1 after finishing off a cutback inside the six-yard box.

Skye made it more of a contest in the last half an hour and was rewarded in the 69th minute after Attard beat the offside trap following a through

ball from Jacob Scotte-Hatherly to complete the scoreline.

Baxter had to settle for a 2-2 away draw against Harrisfield Hurricanes in last weekend’s State 4 South fixture.

Mark Pagliarulo shielded the ball then turned and hit a firm shot that gave Baxter the lead in the 15th minute but goals to Ilias Tzintzis (21st minute)and Tasos Psonis (26th) gave the home side the upper hand.

In the 38th minute Pagliarulo was felled inside the area and converted from the spot to make it 2-2.

Baxter had chances to claim all three points in the second half but failed to convert.

Five Harrisfield players were cautioned while Baxter’s sole transgressor was new signing Edin Aljija from Springvale City.

Alan Lipsett from Rosebud Heart also made his Baxter debut.

David Greening’s fourth hat-trick in five games powered Rosebud Heart to a 5-1 away win over Hampton Park United in their State 4 South clash on Saturday.

Blad Klarenbeek was in goal for Heart deputising for Sean Skelly who had joined the holiday exodus to Las Vegas.

In the 21st minute Greening’s long run cutting in from the right ended when he was felled inside the area and he scored from the penalty spot.

A fine interpassing move in the 29th minute involving Chris Sibson, Mikey Turner and Blake Hicks was finished by Greening to make it 2-0 and six minutes later Cory Osorio let fly from outside the area and a slight deflection made it 3-0.

Greening completed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute and turned provider four minutes later with a far post ball that enabled skipper Daniel Hodge to slide in and finish.

Beau Sharpe took down an opponent inside the area in the 81st minute and although Klarenbeek saved the initial penalty attempt and the rebound he couldn’t stop Matthew Esquivel a third time.

AFL South East wants restructure

By Toe Punt IN two months’ time, AFL South East will deliver recommendations that are likely to re-shape the current structure of Nepean and Peninsula football.

Since April, AFL South East Region General Manager John Anderson and his team have been consulting with clubs throughout the region, which has included clubs in the SouthEast Football Netball League (SEFNL), as they look to complete a Competition Review into the 2018 season.

There are 31 clubs managed

by AFL South East and according to presidents from Nepean and Peninsula divisions, they are being told that the push for a restructure is being driven by clubs in the SEFNL. Make no mistake, this review and restructure is not being driven by any clubs. It is being driven by the AFL and AFL South East. It all began in 2011 when the AFL then asked for a review of country football, which later resulted in 13 regions being created.

It has been on the AFL’s agenda for a long time.

When former AFL SE General Manager Jeremy Bourke was at the helm, one of his key strategies was to bring in divisional football across the three leagues.

He had the experience given his history with the Amateurs.

However, restructure wasn’t being driven by personal prefer-

ence, it was driven by the desire to have three ‘even’ competitions across the region.

Whilst Bourke may no longer still be in the chair, the agenda for AFL South East remains the same.

There is one hurdle though – a steadfast group of Nepean and Peninsula presidents who are not remotely interested in joining a three-tier competition with the SEFNL. Frankston President Chris ‘Batty’ Sharman, fresh from a President’ Meeting last Wednesday night, said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that “being in a divisional competition with clubs from the SEFNL put Nepean and Peninsula clubs to the wall once before and we are not interested in this happening again.”

“We have had the opportunity to put our case forward and now we wait for the recommendations,” Sharman said.

“When the recommendations are delivered in July, as presidents we will meet again and decide what action we will take,” he said.

The AFL South East Review principles look like this: • To investigate and explore the senior football competition structures in the SouthEast region that will promote the sustainability of Clubs • To investigate and explore the senior football competition structures in the South-

East region that will promote participation growth • To consider the competitive balance of the senior football competition structures for implementation in 2018.

• To consider the impact on netball in the South-East region in any review findings The Review will also consider feedback received during 2016 when a survey was sent to clubs asking several questions relevant to this Review. Despite being anonymous, responses were received to the survey by a majority of clubs.

The final line in the AFL SE Review was that there would be “no further comment by the Commission until the draft recommendations are released.”

That’s a bit rich from an organisation that based transparency as its platform to boot the old MPNFL Board and Administration and take over office two years ago.

Rosebud Football Club, which was one of the key drivers in replacing the old administration with AFL SE, wrote on its social media page that “the findings and ultimate outcome of this review has the potential to completely change the face of Peninsula football – and not for the better!

“In particular it is clear that there is an agenda to implement a backward return to divisional football, with promotion and relegation re-introduced be-

tween two or more leagues.

“How anyone thinks it would be good for local footy and netball to see one or more of a Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento or Dromana competing in a different League that includes a Seaford, Frankston YCW, or worse a Berwick, Doveton or Narre Warren beggar’s belief.

“You can rest assured that our Club and others will fight tooth and nail to prevent this from occurring,” the post suggested.

So, as you can see, not only do Nepean and Peninsula Clubs not want to join a super league with SEFNL, there are some Nepean clubs that are not even interested in promotion-relegation with Peninsula clubs.

Without question, clubs and the AFL SE are poles apart on this one. My guess is that AFL SE will spend the next eight weeks working out a PR plan to try and roll it out with minimal damage.

For mine, the focus of AFL SE should be to come up with a plan to fix their dysfunctional junior program, work with and build a relationship with Mornington Peninsula Juniors, conduct a review of the Under 19 and Under 17 programs and leave strong, healthy competitions the way they are for now.

Can we see a parent in Sorrento driving their 17-year-old son to Officer for a 9am start on a Saturday morning?
