Day with a message: everyone belongs

ROSEBUD Secondary College students finished term three with high ideals at the annual Harmony Day celebration.

“The message of Harmony Day is ‘everyone belongs’ and it is marked globally each year on 21 March as the United Nations’ International Day for Elimination of Racism,” organising teacher Nicolle Brigden said.

“We choose to celebrate this important day in the spring term as a sign of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home: from our country’s traditional owners to the many people who have come here from all over the world.”

This year, Harmony Day featured a performance by Egyptian-Australian comedian Khaled Khalafalla, and the school’s courtyard at lunchtime was the setting for an international festival.

Rivertribe provided indigenous beats, and students were treated to face-painting and the ancient Hindu custom of henna body art.

“With the financial support of the Mornington Peninsula Shire, we are able to highlight to students the many advantages multiculturalism brings to Australia,” Mrs Brigden said.

Students and staff wore orange ribbons to show they believe in diversity, equality and acceptance of all those that make up the community.

“At a time when refugees fleeing persecution are demonised for coming to Australia by boat, and Muslims are again being unfairly stereotyped as terrorists because of the actions of a small number of extremists, it is more important than ever that we make a stand against racism,” school captain, Tim Tilley, said.

Minister deals new blow to SPA David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au PROSPECTS for a pool complex on the Rosebud foreshore have receded even further after written confirmation that the project must meet the state government’s new stricter Victorian Coastal Strategy requirements.

The confirmation was in a letter from the environment department, received as Mornington Peninsula councillors again engaged in tense, sometimes highly emotional, debate about the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

The issue, raised as urgent business at the 22 September council meeting, was the second SPA debate in a fortnight.

Some 30 placard-carrying proforeshore site supporters filed quietly into the Rosebud Memorial Hall as the meeting started, to a welcome from the mayor Cr Antonella Celi, a strong foreshore pool advocate. Questions on the project were dealt with by shire CEO Michael Kennedy, some paraphrased to meet question time standards.

The two-part urgent business resolution first tackled a rescission motion,

lodged by Cr Anne Shaw a fortnight earlier to try to overturn a decision stopping work on the SPA. It then laid out a detailed proposal for community use of property bought in Wannaeue Place in 2012 as an alternative site for the pool complex.

Both parts passed, the second part with the highly significant backing of leading foreshore site supporter Cr David Gibb. Opposition came from councillors Celi, Shaw and Andrew Dixon. Cr David Garnock is overseas and Cr Graham Pittock is unable to vote on SPA issues.

But immediately the meeting ended

Cr Shaw lodged another notice of motion, written during the Urgent Business debate. It is believed to be an effort to reverse the resolutions just passed, joining her move to rescind the “stop work” motion. These two motions will likely be discussed at the 13 October council meeting.

The letter, from the office of Environment Minister Ryan Smith to a Rosebud resident, states that the shire is yet to provide Mr Smith with information he sought in early 2012.

The letter’s tone strongly suggests that the minister and his department are tiring of waiting for the shire to

Labor against point tourism plans Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE latest plans to develop Point Nepean as an upmarket tourist drawcard have turned into a state election issue with Labor accusing the government of “locking out the public while locking in this massive development”.

The Premier Denis Napthine announced the $100 million The Point proposal in July, inviting public feedback but with no guarantees of any changes being made to the plan.

The proposal by the Point Leisure Group includes a luxury hotel, function centre, shops, cafes, restaurants, thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre and a heritage museum and jetty.

A statement issued by Labor said the planning and approval process adopted by the government is “heavily in favour of developers, with the community largely excluded from the process.

It also enables 99 year leases to be granted, which is what is proposed at Point Nepean”.

“Labor agrees with the community – Denis Napthine is heading down the wrong course with Point Nepean,” Labor spokeswoman for environment and climate change Lisa Neville said.

“Based on the problems with consultation and lease arrangements, Labor will not support the redevelopment as proposed.”

Planning spokesman Brian Tee said Labor “simply won’t stand by while this land is sold off for 99 years and the community is cut out of the process and prevented from visiting parts of the national park”.

Labor candidate for Nepean Carolyn

Point of protest: Labor and several community groups are aligned in their opposition to plans for tourism development at Point Nepean.

Gleixner said it was the second time Point Nepean had been “threatened “by the Liberal Party.

“The battle to save Point Nepean from inappropriate development by the Liberals was won by the people of Sorrento and Portsea and the wider community at the federal election in 2004, and an alternative plan signed off after years of hard work with the community 2010.” “Ïf the Liberals and the Point Leisure Group don’t expect a community reaction ... they are in for a big shock.”

Labor’s stand aligns it with the Victorian National Parks Association which has called for the suspension of private development at Point Nepean because “it would require the removal of a large area of threatened native bushland under Victorian bushfire planning rules”.

A report produced for the VNPA by consultants Practical Ecology found that up to 5.3 hectares of native bush-

land could be lost because of the need to create a defendable space for the development.

“The clearing of threatened native bushland in Point Nepean National Park to make way for private development flies in the face of claims by the Napthine government that the site will meet stringent environmental protections,” VNPA executive director Matt Ruchel said.

“Whatever you think of the merits of any commercial development in parks – the proposed planning changes and lease approval processes are appalling and should concern all Victorians.

“Under the changes, environmental significance and heritage overlays will be removed, there is no third party appeal rights to VCAT and local council approval will not be needed for future changes. It also allows for potential subdivision in the future.

“National Parks are the jewels in the crown for protecting our natural

and cultural heritage, and should not be subject to inappropriate development. If development occurs it should be subject to rigorous assessment and approval processes of the highest possible standard.”

Local groups condemn planning proposals for Point Nepean Quarantine Station Ursula de Jong, of the Nepean Conservation Group, accused the state government of keeping the community” in the dark” on critical details of The Point plan.

“The community fought long and hard for an integrated national park at Point Nepean - the proposal further separates the Quarantine Station from the national park.”

Nepean Historical Society president Doreen Parker said that “rich and complex layers of history at the Quarantine Station are of national significance but are not properly planned for in the story being told by the Point Leisure Group”.

BayMob expo back bigger and better

Plea to preserve ‘sacred ground’ MOIRA Curtain fears plans to commercialise Point Nepean will encroach on a piece of ground she hold sacred: the burial place of 70 people who died aboard “the plague ship” Ticonderoga.

When standing at the small cemetery near the Quarantine Station Ms Curtain knows that “I’m standing on the remains of my predecessors”.

She said the plans being exhibited for tourism development “are very hard to make out … it looks like there’s a building there”.

“There are the bones of our people buried there and I see it as a cemetery.

There is a memorial stone there, which I see as a headstone.”

Ms Curtain says four members of her family perished while the Ticonderoga was anchored off The Heads in November 1852.

The ship had sailed from Liverpool with 795 passengers and 48 crew.

“When we go to the burial ground we want privacy and respect, not to be overlooked by people standing on balconies disturbing the quietness and serenity of the site,” Ms Curtain said.

“A very dramatic experience will be taken away if there is commercial activity around there.

“The Quarantine Station is very important to Victorian history.”

While some remains have been moved to a new cemetery closer to Point Nepean, Ms Curtain said it had not been possible to remove the bones of all 70 people.

She said hundreds of people had attended a ceremony at the site in 1992, some coming from as far away as the United Kingdom.

All clear for beach bollards

MORE than 300 people are expected to visit the peninsula’s premier indigenous health and education expo in Frankston on Friday.

Now in its fifth year, BayMob showcases the multiple health, education and wellbeing opportunities available for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the Frankston and peninsula region.

The free event, which is on at Monash University, Peninsula campus in Frankston, from 10am tto 3pm on Friday 3 October, was developed to break down barriers to local health services, employment and educational pathways and help build long-term partnerships between service providers and the indigenous community.

Fun tradition: Children from the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency playgroups at last year’s BayMob expo.

AFTER an investigation that took three months, Mornington Peninsula Shire officers have concluded that no laws were broken when timber bollards were placed on the beach at Portsea alongside the property of trucking tycoon, Lindsay Fox. Regular inquiries by The News to the shire have been met by assurances that investigations were continuing and it would be inappropriate to comment while they were underway.

However, in a news release on Friday the shire stated that the investigation had been completed “into the installation of four timber bollards in Merrylands Av, Portsea, and after considering the facts and planning implications will not be pursuing any enforcement action”.

“The investigation has confirmed that the bollards are located within the property’s title boundary and do not impact on access along the beach or the environment, and do not pose any risk to public safety of the community.

“As a result, Shire officers have formed the view that enforcement action is not warranted and would likely be unsuccessful.”

Low-income renters squeezed out Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula is facing an affordable housing crisis, with inadequate stocks of public housing and rapidly rising rents pushing more lowincome families out of the area or into homelessness, a parliamentary inquiry was told last week.

And the situation is rapidly deteriorating, with rising unemployment, underemployment and significant cuts to incomes due to federal government welfare cuts and changes to Centrelink qualification requirements further eroding household incomes.

In a submission presented to a Senate inquiry into affordable housing this month, the Tenants Union of Victoria revealed that while the Frankston and peninsula region was seen as one of Melbourne’s most affordable, the vast majority of rental properties were now

out of reach of low income families and individuals. The union said that, with waiting times for public housing now close to 10 years, most low income individuals and families had no option but to turn to the private rental market for accommodation.

However, families and individuals had to spend up 78 per cent of their disposable income to pay for privately rented accommodation.

The union, which was among 12 public policy groups to present submissions in Melbourne on Tuesday to the federal Senate inquiry, revealed that while rental prices had been relatively stable this year, they remained unaffordable for seven out of eight household types profiled, with students and singles the worst affected.

Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott said the situation was already beyond crisis point, with affordable rentals on the peninsula almost non-

existent. “It’s a very tough situation for anyone unfortunate enough to be out of work or receiving a pension, and even for many people with jobs,” she said.

“Finding rental accommodation that could be considered affordable on the peninsula is pretty much impossible, especially in the case of rentals for single people.”

Unlike Frankston or other more affordable outer-suburban areas of Melbourne where some form of emergency accommodation could usually be found, peninsula families and individuals were all too often forced to move out of the area altogether.

“It’s actually far worse on the peninsula than in Frankston,” Ms Elliott said.

“We usually have to send people coming to us for emergency accommodation to Frankston as there’s simply nothing in this area, even rooming houses.

“Just today we had to send a young family from this area to live in a caravan park in Frankston, and even that

was only for the weekend because there was nothing else available. They didn’t even have a car to get there – they were on foot, and with a young child.”

She said the results of families being uprooted from their “home towns” due to the lack of housing options was particularly disruptive.

“It can be very difficult for a young family, especially if they have children at school. The social disruption of having to move away can be very traumatising, cutting parents and children off from friends, schools and social support networks.”

Tenants Union policy officer James Bennett said individuals and families receiving welfare benefits lucky enough to find private rental accommodation were likely to be experiencing “housing stress”, which is defined as having to spend more than 30 per cent or disposable income on rent or mortgage payments.

The mean weekly rent for a one-bed-

room apartment in the Frankston and peninsula region is now $210. That would consume 78 per cent of the disposable income of a single person on Austudy ($269.20 a week), or 67.2 per cent of the income of a single person on Newstart ($312.50).

An older person receiving the aged pension ($468.70) would be left with more than half their disposable income or $258.70 a week to cover weekly expenses, but they would be still be living well below the poverty line.

Ms Elliott said the solution had to come from government support in the public housing sector.

“The private market is simply not geared towards meeting the needs of low-income families and individuals,” she said. “Landlords are often unwilling to rent to low-income families, especially when the ratio of their income needed to cover the asking rent is above 50 per cent, and that’s in pretty much every situation these days.”

Writes of passage for ‘forgotten army’ Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au IT’S a story more than 70 years in the making, a little known but integral chapter in our nation’s history set as Australia faced its darkest hour.

A group of young men was propelled to the frontline of the Allies’ defense against a seemingly unstoppable Japanese advance, isolated on a “barren, dusty, waterless, god-forsaken rock” under a barrage of bombs as the nation faced imminent invasion.

While much has been written about the bombing of Darwin little is known about the defensive outpost on Horn Island in Torres Strait and the hundreds of men who fought and died there during World War II as part of 34th Australian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery.

But now thanks to decades of diligence by Balnarring resident Gordon Cameron, the heroic deeds of those young men are finally receiving the recognition they deserve.

Mr Cameron was among the hundreds of servicemen sent as anti-aircraft gunners to defend Horn Island between 1942 and 1944 as the might of the Japanese imperial forces bore down on Australia.

Last week, Mr Cameron’s life-long quest to publish a book chronically the history of the unit finally came to fruition.

The book is a collection of stories of “boys thrown on a desolate island, with prospect of abandonment by the army should the Japanese arrive, and the post war struggle for recognition by an army who for a long time admitted lacking any records of our service”.

A total of 190 Australian and allied veterans died in Torres Strait during the war, while a further 124 were injured.

“They became part of Australia’s ‘forgotten army’,” Mr Cameron said. “Even today, most Australians have never heard of Horn Island nor do they know there was a war there.”

The 34th Anti-Aircraft Battery was formed in Melbourne in 1942 and posted to Horn Island with the task of defending the allied airstrip against Japanese bombers.

Horn Island was the closest allied operating base to New Guinea in 1942 and was used by Australian and American bombers to attack the Japanese advance to Port Moresby.

It was subject to multiple bombing raids.

The young gunners, mostly under 21 and with minimum military training, were located on this mostly unknown island with none of the usual infrastructure of most country towns.

“No roads, water, electricity or any of the usual equipment like bulldozers tractors or the like,” Mr Cameron explained.

“The task of digging the gun pits for the big guns in hot tropical sun using pick and shovel was a daunting for young boys away from home for the first time.”

Making matters even more trying, the gunners were confined to the battery site for two years, with no leave permits.

Under these extreme conditions, the gunners developed a strong bond, a bond that would last the rest of their lives.

Mr Cameron, who is the president of 34th Australian Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery Association, said that after the war, the gunners resolved to maintain their wartime bonds and arranged an annual reunion.

The association also produced an annual newsletter, the Horn Island Echo.

“After 66 issues we decided to combine the best of those stories in a journal that would tell the story of the times the battery spent on Horn Island,” Mr Cameron said. “Hopefully Issue 67 will fill in some gaps in our military history.”

That last issue – The Best of the Echo – was finally published last week.

With the Anzac Centenary just around the corner, Flinders MP Greg Hunt presented Mr Cameron with a cheque for $1000 from the fed-

eral government’s Saluting their Service grants to help with publishing costs.

Mr Hunt said the grants presented an opportunity for community groups to honour war heroes in a way that was fitting to the local area.

“These grants will contribute to telling the story of those Australians who served our nation in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations as we commemorate the Centenary of ANZAC,” Mr Hunt said.

“The Australian government has recently

awarded more than $274,000 in grant funding to support projects of national significance that will honour the service and sacrifice of Australia’s servicemen and women.

“Many of the projects awarded through the Saluting their Service grants program will become permanent tributes to those who served our country.”

Ministerial blow to foreshore pool Continued from Page 1 This information appears to be Mr Smith’s most urgent concerns, particularly information on broad community support for the $40-plus million project. The shire sent the minister a submission on community support several years ago: the repeated request appears to indicate the minister has rejected what he received.

The letter states that, once the shire provides the information sought, its application to proceed with the foreshore development will be assessed “in accordance with all relevant policy documents”, including the “relevant Victorian Coastal Strategy at the time of making decision” (sic).

The 2014 coastal strategy, gazetted on 1 September, imposes stringent conditions on use of foreshore land. It defines “foreshore” as extending 200 metres inland from the water’s edge – which at Rosebud covers all the land from the beach to Point Nepean Rd – and prohibits non-foreshore dependent uses, including community halls.

That almost certainly means the minister would reject inclusion of the existing Rosebud hall and a gymnasium in a foreshore pool project. Both facilities are included in the drawings the shire has received in its pool design competition.

During debate on 22 September CEO Michael Kennedy revealed that the Wannaeue Place development proposals would cost more than $100 million. While he described the figure as “no more than an order of magnitude”, he itemised the facilities being put forward:  $55 million for the proposal to amalgamate in Rosebud the current three shire offices – Rosebud, Hast-

ings and Mornington.  $25 million for a pool only. The urgent business proposal, Dr Kennedy pointed out, did not mention a gymnasium.  $10-15 million for what he described as “big think” works, presumably including a new Rosebud community hall built off-foreshore.  $5 million for the library and other community spaces proposed to be included in a renovation of the shire’s Besgrove St offices.

Cr Lynn Bowden said Dr Kennedy’s figures seemed to be an effort to “throw out the big bucks and try and scare everybody away”.

It was argued that the proposal could be built in stages rather than being tackled as one huge project.

Dr Kennedy had emailed councillors late on Friday 19 September urging them “to return to consensus decision making” on the SPA and revitalising the Rosebud activity centre.

“Seeking to achieve consensus is far preferable to simple majority (win/ lose) voting,” he wrote.

In a statement apparently supporting building the SPA at Wannaeue Place, he wrote: “Councillors will recall that the strategic purchase of Wannaeue Place was deliberately facilitated and recommended by me … to provide a further option for the location of the aquatic facility” and as part of redeveloping and revitalising Rosebud.

Cr Fraser, speaking in support of the development plan, said Rosebud would be revitalised partly by having a single shire headquarters at Wannaeue Place, with some 250 staff from Hastings and Mornington stationed there, as well as the Besgrove St staff.

He said the Besgrove St HQ was in the school and sporting precinct and the refurbished building could include facilities including a library, an art gallery and community meeting rooms.

Anger mounts over call for end to solar rebate Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au LABOR candidate for Nepean Carolyn Gleixner has slammed a Liberal Party review into renewable energy that calls for the scrapping of subsidies on solar panels and water heaters.

Ms Gleixner joined with fellow Mornington Peninsula ALP candidates Rebecca Wright and Steve Hosking to express “outrage” at the “wholesale slash and burn of solar” recommended in the Liberal Party’s Renewable Energy Target Review report, which was released this month.

The review into Australia’s commitment to a 20 per cent target for renewable energy by 2020, which was headed well-known climate change sceptic and former Reserve Bank board member Dick Warburton, recommends winding back or scrapping financial support for renewable energy projects.

The RET was introduced by the Howard government in 2001 to provide incentives for alternative energy producers before being expanded by Labor in 2011 when the 20 per cent target was mandated.

Ms Gleixner said it appeared the government was now doing the bidding of the country’s big energy companies, which have been lobbying for the RET to be either killed off or heavily diluted.

She said the increasing popularity of solar panels, which driven by surging electricity prices, was putting power company profits under intense pressure.

“We are in trouble when our government appears to care more about large companies and protecting their profits than it does about Australian people trying to do the right thing for the environment and saving on household expenses,” she said.

“This review by the Liberals, reportedly headed by a panal with strong links to the fossil fuel industry, is just another slap in the face.”

Ms Wright, the Labor candidate for Mornington, said peninsula households were among the strongest supporters of solar energy, as a way to cut both power costs and green house emissions.

She said it was vital the price for electricity fed back into the system by households with solar panels was set at an fair level.

“The community is trying to get the message across that they want solar, and at a reasonable price for the energy they feed back into the grid,” she said.

The three state ALP candidates have written to the Environment Minister, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, to demand the government ignores the “flawed and compromised review” and retains the Renewable Energy Target in full.

They have also strongly criticised Mr Hunt’s state Liberal counterparts, claiming that while other states have opposed changes to the RET, Victorian Premier Dennis Napthine had been “non-committal”.

However, Flinder MP and Enviroment Minister Greg Hunt said the government had no plans to scrap to RET. “The Coalition supports renewable energy. The Coalition, not Labor, introduced the Renewable Energy Target in 2001,” he said.

“The review of the RET was completed in line with the legislation, which requires a review of the scheme every two years.

“The government is considering the full details of the report to ensure the RET is working efficiently and effectively, bearing in mind the impact on the renewables industry, Australian businesses and households and Australia’s energy market.”

Mr Hunt said the government would not make any changes that would impact “those who have already made an investment – small or large – under the RET.”

This dog trainer means business Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au SIDNEY Aarons stands in a small paddock in Pearcedale, feet apart, swinging a tennis ball tied to a piece of string around his head.

In front of him is a scorched piece of ground littered with springs and nuts and bolts, all that remains of a pile of burnt furniture.

At his feet, keenly watching the swinging ball is Logan, a Belgian shepherd, or malinois. The string is pulled tight and the ball retreats to Aarons’s hand.

Logan immediately turns his attention the blackened earth. Eagerly sniffing the charcoal and debris, the dog zig zags, finally dropping to a crouch, nose pressed against a piece of burnt wood.

Aarons strides into the blackened area, tosses the ball into the dog’s mouth and triumphantly retrieves the piece of charcoal. It’s the same one that retains faint traces of the petrol it was once dipped in to start the fire.

Logan is an arson dog, trained to sniff out the remains of an accelerant that may have been used to deliberately light a fire.

Aarons assures me that insurance companies in the United States pay millions of dollars to equip fire brigades with dogs that can provide evidence that a fire was deliberately lit. He says the dogs have proved their worth, saving many millions in insurance payouts.

His interest in training dogs goes back to when he was 10 and attended

Sniff test: Arson dog Logan searches for accelerant in the remains of a fire while dog trainer Sidney Aarons looks on.

Knox Obedience Club with a German short-haired pointer puppy: “We both failed miserably.”

Undeterred, he went to own a succession of dogs while growing up – a boxer that was “as goofy as all boxers”, rottweilers and another that was “problematic, chewing things, barking and pulling clothes off the line”.

Aarons, then 24, and the dog went to school. The dog to learn how to behave and Aarons, after reading an advertisement in a newsletter, to become a trainer.

He moved into shows (obedience, tracking, trials), liking the social side of things but not the club politics.

“Then, I focussed on becoming a self-employed dog trainer.”

If he was driving down the street and spotted someone being taken for a

walk by their dog, Aarons would pull over, hand them a card while saying “I can fix that for $60”.

Pretty soon he had a business, which eventually led to being resident dog trainer on the award-winning Channel 31 program Hound TV. The high profile that followed the TV show has seen him set up Sidney Aarons Professional Dog Training in Pearcedale, where he boards and trains dogs.

Training Belgian shepherds for police or army work has become a speciality. Seven dogs trained to sniff out arson, drugs and money and “men trailing” went to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

Those for the army trained for “tactical response, find and bite” were shipped out to Afghanistan “but might

now be in Syria”. These “dual purpose” dogs can also sniff out bombs and weapons. Aarons says he enjoys the challenge of being asked to train a dog for a particular skill.

He is now negotiating with primary schools to run safety talks, teaching children how to approach a dog.

The Keep Your Kid Safe lessons will cover dog body language (“if a dog’s lunging on the lead it’s obviously not under the control of its owner”) and what to do if approached by a dog.

“We’ve had a good response [from schools]. The kids most at risk of being attacked by dogs are under 12, making up 80 per cent of those that get bitten. And 90 per cent of those are bitten by the family dog.”

Aarons says children “really take the message home” to parents, citing the success of school anti-smoking campaigns.

“There are some dogs that can’t be trained, but you can teach an old dog new tricks, it’s just harder after they’re about three and a half years.”

Aarons says “socialisation” is the key to training. “Train that puppy by the time it’s 16 weeks and all the hard work is done.

“It will set a dog up for the rest of its life, making it receptive, compliant and malleable.”

He says the dogs he takes in as boarders reach a level of training in two to three weeks that would take their owners “months, if ever”.

The dogs’ owners attend about one hour a week to see what Aaron has achieved and learn his commands.

Aarons says he can quickly assess a dog’s temperament and decide whether it can be trained by raising his voice, clapping or a “correction chain”.

“I estimate I’ve trained 10,000 dogs – they’re relatively easy compared to humans. They are highly complicated animals but can be trained to do simple things.”

Aarons says not training a dog “keeps it stupid”.

He estimates less than one per cent of dogs are taken to puppy school.

“So many people buy a dog and stick him in the backyard, which is real drudgery for a dog. They need stimulation.”

On the other hand, Aarons speaks about one customer who loved to walk his dogs but never had them trained to be on the lead.

“By the end of his second dog’s life he needed a shoulder reconstruction; I fixed the third dog for him.

“When I first started out I wanted to teach dogs as much as possible and it took me a while to learn most people just want to be able to walk their dog, tell it to sit and not chew things.”

It is that sort of training that earns Aarons his “bread and butter”.

Meanwhile, Logan – the demonstration dog - provides an outlet for Aarons own desire to tackle the complicated.

Now that Logan has become an arson dog, his next trick is learning to skateboard.

Just the kind of stunt that will draw and hold the attention of primary school children to the Keep Your Kid Safe project.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebrate: Braves players after their grand final win.

Braves savour baseball win BONEO Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3 v 2 win over Mornington in the Dandenong Baseball Association under 11 grand final was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a highlightâ&#x20AC;? of coach Steve Bertucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only two players had touched a baseball at the start of the season,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids trained super hard all year and it paid off for them in the end. The future of our club is in great hands.â&#x20AC;?

In the final at Frankston Baseball Club, pitcher and captain Nick Bertucci pitched two solid innings at the start and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up any runs.

Follow-up pitcher Damien Body then threw three innings â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing a fantastic job with some awesome backing up and fantastic plays in the fieldâ&#x20AC;?, said Mr Bertucci, who is also club president.

The score was nil-all at the end of the fourth innings, but then Mornington scored its first run

in the fifth off a Boneo fielding mistake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mornington scored their second run in the sixth innings and looked to have the game wrapped up,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bertucci said.

He said Boneoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Max Williams pitched the sixth innings and â&#x20AC;&#x153;did a great jobâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boneoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fielding was strong all day - even turning two double plays,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came down to the bottom of the last innings with Boneo down 0-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick Bertucci led off the last innings and got a safe hit to get him onto first base, but our next two batters went out. We were down to our last â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Damien Body pulled out a great hit which sent Nick around the diamond, sliding home to score our first run. Jamie Duckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe hit got him onto base and then Kaeden Stevenson with a hit to right field - got Damien and Jamie home to win the game with a walk-off hit.â&#x20AC;?

Program cuts a risk to youth Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PROGRAM that helps young people finish their education is in peril â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and desperately needs an injection of government funds to continue.

Many of the students it helps have either left school or are at risk of leaving.

The estimated rate of youth unemployment in Frankston North for July 2014 is 20.7 per cent; a year ago it was 15.8 per cent.

The Brotherhood of St Laurenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community VCAL program - Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning - is a vocational alternative to the VCE. Six secondary schools in the Frankston area, as well as social workers and youth organisations, have referred about 250 disadvantaged teenagers to the program in Frankston since 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a commitment from both sides of parliament - Coalition and Labor - before the November state election to reduce a massive funding gap, the program wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to take on new students,â&#x20AC;? the brotherhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, Tony Nicholson, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have to wind the program down and close it after 2016 when all current students have been educated to Year 12.â&#x20AC;?

Around 50 young people are enrolled from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. All of them face significant barriers to learning, including even homelessness, the brotherhood says.

The senior manager of the brotherhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frankston services, John Catto-Smith, said that for an overwhelming number of young people, the Community VCAL has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;a positive and even life-changing experience - and it maintains that vital connection to educationâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since we started almost five years ago, 72 per cent of students have successfully graduated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is particularly impressive given that they were transferred to us from mainstream schools because of struggles to progress academically and other issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the barriers they continue to face,

John CattoSmith: VCAL a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;positive and even life-changing experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

most have demonstrated considerable resilience, strengthened their personal skills and made huge progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many have moved smoothly into employment or further training, aided by the support we provide after graduation.â&#x20AC;?

The brotherhood says Frankston already has a higher proportion of young people dealing with these issues, compared with the state average. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under current government funding arrangements, Community VCAL students are treated far less favourably than those from mainstream schools,â&#x20AC;? Mr Nicholson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state government spends around $14,000 a student in mainstream schools every year, but only around $8000 for each student in Community VCAL.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Nicholson said it also costs the brotherhood about the same - $14,000 - to educate each Community VCAL student, leaving a $6000 shortfall

compared with the amount the government would provide to the school if the student had not transferred to the brotherhood program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our funding gap is partially met by philanthropic donations from our dedicated supporters, and through our own funds. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sustainable.â&#x20AC;?

Young people who are not in work, education or training risk long-term unemployment, Mr Nicholson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many studies show they are more likely to be homeless or dealing with mental health and other issues.â&#x20AC;?

The Community VCAL program aims to offer more than education courses: in its holistic approach the staff also pays attention to the young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellbeing, and offer vocational guidance and other support. Teenagers who have left school early and are unemployed are helped to complete their schooling, giving them a much better chance of finding work.

HIDDEN TREASURE

Works on show: Artists getting ready for the art show trail are, from left, Greer Allicia, Jenni Macauley, and Tammy Warner.

On the trail of art that pleases THE Peninsula Studio Trail artists have prepared a group exhibition and open studio weekend “to please even the fussiest of connoisseurs”.

Organiser Katrina Newman said the art show started on Saturday 20 September at Balnarring’s Bakers Gallery as a lead-in to the open studio weekend 4 and 5 October.

“Peninsula Studio Trail Open Weekends have become a must see for art lovers who live on or visit theMornington Peninsula,” Ms Newman said.

“You can see into the often very private domain of the artist in their studio and, while you’re there, make the most of the opportunity to buy direct.”

Ms Newman said the Bakers Gallery exhibition could be seen as a preview to what was in

store on the studio trail.

The Peninsula Studio Trail was started by artists in 2009 to give people the opportunity of visiting studios where artists specialised in a range of mediums including ceramics, painting and printmaking, photography and gold and silversmithing, glass and sculpture.

“Many of the artists are happy to demonstrate the techniques they use that make their art so special over the weekend,” Ms Newman said.

The studios are open 10am-5pm on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October.

Details and a map of the studio trail are at peninsulastudiotrail.org.

Many of the artists also open their studios on a regular basis and times and places are included in the website’s calendar of events.

Security ramped up at naval base Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DEFENCE personnel, families, staff, contractors and visitors to HMAS Cerberus at Crib Point are facing tougher security measures in the wake of terrorism fears.

Those entering and exiting the base are being subjected to random vehicle and bag searches, and they will not be admitted without a relevant photo ID. Commanding officer Captain Steve Bowater said raising the national terrorism public alert level from medium to high - following advice from the Director General ASIO – meant security had gone up a notch or two.

As a precaution, Defence’s Safebase alert level has been raised to “Charlie” – with the requirements of the code varying from base to base. The changes will apply to all Defence bases, assets and personnel.

The commander said Defence’s protective security system catered for its specific needs and operated separately from the public alert system.

“It will be 'business as usual at Cerberus, albeit with a heightened focus on security and protection,” he said.

Captain Bowater admitted the new measures “will likely cause delays”.

“We regret any inconvenience and ask our community to exercise patience while we make every

effort to ensure everyone’s safety.”

The public can still visit the Cerberus museum as part of organised group bookings, but people will no longer be allowed to make unscheduled visits. Parish members are “encouraged” to attend church services but will only be admitted to the base if their details are recorded in the church log for that parish.

Commander Bowater said the west gate access point in South Beach Rd, Somers, has recently re-opened after “significant development”, while the east gate entry from Stony Point Rd (above) has been restricted to pedestrians only.

“The timing for the re-opening of west gate is purely coincidental but allows us to more efficiently manage the new traffic and security measures being implemented,” he said.

About 6000 personnel are trained at HMAS Cerberus annually, averaging 800 trainees at any one time. The establishment covers 1517 hectares and is 70 kilometres from Melbourne on Hann's Inlet, Western Port Bay. Purchased in 1911 and called Flinders Naval Depot, it was commissioned as HMAS Cerberus 10 years later. It comprises numerous training and recreation facilities, two chapels, small marina and attractive grounds.

The primary role of HMAS Cerberus has always been Navy personnel training. With the establishment of four tri-service schools over the past 13 years, this role has been extended to training Army, Navy and Air Force personnel.

Women in mosque peace talks JUST weeks before Australia announced it would send forces to the Middle East to oppose Islamic State forces, more than 200 women met at a mosque in Langwarrin to speak about peace being the common message of all religions.

The interfaith lunch at the Ahmadiyya Centre Melbourne was part of a Serving Humanity symposium organised by the women’s auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria.

“Each of the speakers emphasised the need for compassion and service to humanity, according to their religions and beliefs, for example Buddhist, Jewish or Islamic, either personal or faith inspired,” Aziz Bhatti, spokesperson of the Victorian Ahmadiyya community, said.

“It was evident from the speeches that no religion teaches hatred or violence towards any other. The importance of such discussions and forums in today's fragile world was also stressed.”

Speakers included the MP for Evelyn and

speaker of the Legislative Assembly Christine Fyffe, cabinet secretary and MP for South East Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich, Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley, chairperson of the Buddhist Council of Victoria Peggy Page, Casey Interfaith Network’s Pamela Mamouney, Jewish Christian Muslim Association secretary and director for the Online Hate Prevention Institute Jo Silver, Buddhist documenter and university administrator Diana Cousens, and chaplain at Monash University Jay Robinson.

Mr Bhatti said the idea for the conference came from a long tradition of women’s auxiliaries in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement, in Islam, where women are encouraged to organise their own events with their own freedoms and comforts in mind.

“The Ahmadiyya women’s auxiliary of Victoria decided to hold its first interfaith symposium here nine years ago,” he said. “Over the years, this annual symposium has discussed many local

Police and imam call for calm Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE spiritual leader of a mosque in Langwarrin has warned his congregation to not overreact to any anti-Islamic intimidation.

Imam Syed Wadood Janud said he wanted to raise “general awareness [for them] to be careful and proceed with caution”.

His message followed a phone call from police at Carrum Downs advising mosque administrators to “be alert to any possible backlash” over the shooting of a young Muslim man outside the Endeavour Hills police station.

Police allege Numan Haider was shot dead last Tuesday night after stabbing two police officers who had arranged to meet him outside the police station.

Imam Janud, of the Ahmadiyya Centre Melbourne, said police wanted members of his congregation to be alert to any threats or intimidation against them.

Coincidentally, at about the same time that the shooting and stabbings occurred at Endeavour Hills, the mosque’s press and media co-ordinator Aziz Bhatti was threatened while waiting at traffic lights in Frankston.

Mr Bhatti said a carload of youths pulled up alongside his vehicle at the corner of Davey St and Nepean Highway and then tried to ram him after he turned into the highway.

“They tried to hit my car and started yelling at me,” he said. “I picked up my phone as if calling the police and they sped off.

“I have a beard and I believe it may have provoked them. This has never happened to me before.”

Mr Bhatti, 32, and other family members fled Pakistan five years ago after his father was kidnapped and killed.

They belong to the minority Ahmadiyya sect which faces widespread persecution within the Muslim world.

Mr Bhatti is one of many thousands of Ahmadiyyans to leave Pakistan since its government declared their sect non-Muslim.

Imam Janud, who grew up in Adelaide after arriving there with his family when he was four, said members of the Ahmadiyya sect believe in peace and harmony and respect for the laws of the country where they live.

The first Ahmadiyyans arrived in Australia about 100 years ago, but the sect had only become “more functional and administrative” in the past 35 years.

There are about 5000 Ahmadiyyans in Australia, 1000 in Victoria.

The Langwarrin centre (formally known as Bait-ul-Salam or House of Peace), is the sect’s state headquarters.

Imam Janud said the sect’s concentration on “building bridges” and living in peace and harmony with the Australian community conformed with true Islamic faith.

Imam Syed Wadood Janud

He condemned the atrocities of the Islamic State in the Middle East, saying they did not reflect Muslim beliefs and teachings.

“They are as far away from Islam as a person can be,” Imam Janud said.

He said Islam was being “hijacked by a small minority”.

IS’s clever use of social media and the internet, while shocking Westerners, was successfully recruiting young Muslims to join its fight against established governments in the Middle East.

“The vast majority of Muslims would condemn and stand against these actions,” he said.

“These people have gone beyond humanity.

They look like human beings but their psychological state is beyond repair. It’s anything but Islam.”

Imam Janud said the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria was in favour of anything the federal government did to counter “home-grown terrorism”.

Mr Bhatti said the sect was a religious community with no political ambitions or agenda.

Its members support the government “in every field of life” of whichever country they were in.

Al Islam, the “official” website of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, describes the community as “the leading Islamic organisation to categorically reject terrorism in any form” with its then leader, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, more than a century ago declaring “that an aggressive ‘jihad by the sword’ has no place in Islam”.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s international headquarters are in the United Kingdom and, according to the website, it has built more than 15,000 mosques, more than 500 schools, and more than 30 hospitals and translated the Quran into more than 70 languages.

and global issues and gained popularity and appreciation in the wider community.

“Leading women from all walks of life such as politics, government, education, charity organisations, interfaith networks, religious groups and police are among the regular guests of the events organised and run by our women’s auxiliary.

“The events are helping to empower women to give them confidence and leadership, and encouraging them to come forward and help humanity within their own work, social circles and communities.”

The Ahmadiyya Muslim community claims 100 per cent literacy among its male and female members, and says a “huge number of Ahmadi

women are excelling in the fields of science, medicine, law and business”.

“These platforms and conferences generate ideas, such as learning from each other, and attendees take home feelings of love, affection, sisterhood and kinship,” Mr Bhatti said.

“Many misconceptions were put to rest. Ideas that are shared in the symposium and over the lunch are taken back to their extended circles with a revived commitment towards helping others in need.

“More importantly, attendees appreciate Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s efforts and passion towards humanity and bringing Islam’s true teachings to life again.”

LETTERS Factional friction The public Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting in Rosebud on 22 September was a fascinating insight into factional friction within the council. Adding to the fascinating machinations of council was a group of dour faced, but well behaved protestors with signs supporting the development of SPA [Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre] on the [Rosebud] foreshore.

The protest had been promoted on Facebook, with the promise of media attention and photographers. The group (about 20) dissipated rather quickly, leaving only a faithful few to see their hopes for a SPA on the foreshore dashed. To say the protest was a fizzer was an understatement.

The council meeting came to life toward the end of the agenda under the heading Urgent Business, when Cr Hugh Fraser (Nepean ward) tabled what can only be described as an innovative vision for Rosebud, including an aquatic centre on the site purchased by the shire in Wannaeue Place. Questions and responses ensued for considerable time and the factional frictions over the SPA were all too evident.

I commend Crs Fraser and [Tim] Rodgers for maintaining cool professionalism amid some hefty and emotive accusations. I also commend Cr David Gibb who, despite his previously held view that the SPA should go on the foreshore, stated that in the interest of “consensus and a way forward” he was willing to change his position and support the recommendation for the vision as outlined by Cr Fraser.

In direct contrast to those just mentioned, there were petulant and emotional outbursts by Crs [Anne] Shaw, [Andrew]Dixon and the mayor Cr [Antonella] Celi.

As an observer in the gallery I have to say these outbursts were unworthy and subjective.

When it came to the vote and it was evident that the recommendations had been overwhelmingly accepted (with only three against), the mayor was visibly distraught and the meeting was closed.

It is my hope that those who protested and those on council who dissented will put their bitterness aside and embrace the vibrant and fresh

vision for the future of SPA and the Rosebud business and retail precinct, among other things as outlined in the recommendations put forward

by Cr Fraser.

Elizabeth Albiston, Safety Beach

Penalty rates Take pity on people under 30 trying to build a life by getting a job.

There are no jobs but, if they can’t get one, they lose income support for half of the year, existing on charity, begging, or crime.

Further study is to be beyond them because of the huge cost and debt of free education, and anyhow, how can you study while living in the gutter?

Even if they get a job they’ll never afford a house. If they are intelligent, creative, talented, energetic and motivated - the exact opposite of our politicians - the best job they can get in this banana republic will be tourism or services.

They’ll never get a top career job in major industry because there isn’t any industry left, it’s all gone to China.

We will even import our trains and submarines rather than provide good quality jobs by building them here.

Speaking of jobs, a “job” is 40 hours a week on at least the minimum wage. Ten hours a week is only a quarter of a “job”, and the media should make this distinction when reporting politicians’ grandiose statements of job creation.

Also, being statistically classified as not unemployed but “employed” if you work more than just a few hours a week is a blatant misrepresentation. There is massive unemployment in this country, and yet we still import migrants and even issue temporary visas for contracted “guest workers”, on the cheap, to take our jobs.

God help our young people, our government won’t.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Vote of support I would like to add my support to Per Carlsen and his strong criticism of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (‘Time for change’, Letters, The News 16/9/14). We have 11 councillors

who are democratically elected to represent their community and not to slavishly follow one of the two major factions that appear to have formed within council.

Important recent decisions, such as Planning Amendment C162 and the Rosebud SPA have been carried by the casting vote of the mayor after those factions have tied. With C162 the mayor (at the time) ignored the wishes of the local Briars ward councillors and used her second and casting vote to support the faction that she consistently follows.

I believe this was an affront to existing protocol.

Councillors voting with conflict of interest and factional voting are an impediment to local communities. Like Per Carlsen I am hoping that an inquiry will follow the appointment of our new CEO as will the removal of a discriminatory planning regime.

Terri Mandler, Mt Eliza

Support doubt Here we have yet another Mt Eliza residents group making unsubstantiated claims on the level of community support for the Liberal Party’s removal of residents rights in Mt Eliza by approving Planning Amendment C162 (‘Outcome supported’, Letters, The News 23/9/14).

There are only two definitive measures of support: 1. Community responses to two council surveys clearly record that only five per cent of Woodlands residents were in support.

2. The immediate past councillor for Mt Eliza was a prominent supporter of the amendment.

He was soundly unelected by the silent majority at the last council elections.

It is also worth noting that the majority of the Briars ward councillors strongly opposed the amendment but were defeated by the council faction group and the mayor’s casting vote.

Terry O’Shea, Halls Head, Western Australia

Labor wrong The article ‘ALP blasts coalition kinder deal’ (The News 23/9/14) shows that the Labor

candidate for Nepean Carolyn Geixner is either misinformed or being deliberately misleading about kindergarten funding.

It was actually the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd government that last year wavered on its commitment and reneged on locking in a long term funding agreement for 15 hours of kindergarten for all four-year-olds.

Instead, in typical Labor style, it only agreed to a further 18 months funding and a review.

As is usually the case, an incoming Coalition government has had to pick up the mess left by Labor.

Rightly, the federal Liberal Coalition government was keen to see some of the initial results from the Labor review before allocating further funding.

However, the states and territories – led by Premier Denis Napthine and the Victorian Coalition government – worked hard to ensure that even though the review was being conducted, the federal government still provided certainty for families and kinder services as soon as possible.

As a result of our work, earlier this month the federal Coalition government committed to funding its share of the 15 hours to complement the commitment we made in this year’s state budget.

Readers should know that it was the Victorian Coalition government that made the case for further funding – and it was the federal Coalition government that agreed to further funding.

Jet boaters second in world series ELATED and exhausted were two words that came to mind when the Azudo Racing Team returned home after competing strongly in the world jet-sprint series in the United States.

It had been their goal for many years to race against the world’s best, and now, after 18 months of planning and preparation, their dream finally had become a reality.

Known as The Crustys, the team led by Greg and Dorinda Mercier, of Hastings, and team members Rick and Michelle Dunn, Phil Pagan, Stephanie Lamont and Grant Bourke, say they couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. Well, maybe one place better.

“Thanks to some awesome driving and consistent results across the series, Azudo Racing is now ranked number two in the world,” Mrs Mercier said, after competing against contenders from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. “This is testament to the phrase reward for effort after what was a highly enjoyable and challenging campaign.”

Their boat Shark Attack - along with three other boats from Australia - were loaded into a shipping container and packed off to St Louis two months before the opening round.

While the boats were on their long,

slow journey, the Merciers were at home hoping the sea crossing wouldn’t be “too eventful” for their boats, while the Americans were fine tuning their motors and honing their skills.

Fortunately, despite a few sleepless nights, the boats all landed safely on American soil.

“Eventually, the software caught up with the hardware when the team flew into the US the week before racing began and, after a few hiccups with

customs - thanks to some creative packing on the part of a few wellmeaning souls - we finally got our hands back on the boat,” Mrs Mercier said.

“Round one was slated for Poplar Bluff in Missouri and we had high hopes coming into the event. But, still, there were a few late nights of pre-race preparation, as any lingering issues with the new motor would have to be ironed out to have it ready for the big race weekend on 16 and 17 August.

“It was always going to be a challenge to race on a new track - sight unseen - as well as having to deal with the humid conditions of the American south in summer.

“It all came together to make for a tough outing for a largely untested motor, across a testing two-day event.”

Fortunately, although there were a few issues to smooth over during the preliminary rounds, the day ended with the boat, motor and crew not too much the worse for wear.

“The second day of the event dawned bright and promising, unlike Ricko, and with the motor running as smoothly as we would have wished we were set to make a real challenge for a podium finish,” Mrs Mercier said.

“Some skilful driving by Crusty and the hard work of the pit crew between runs saw us battle our way into the top three.

“A tidy final run was not quite enough to grab first place but a solid second place left us in terrific shape heading into the second round.

“No damage to the boat and no major mechanical issues always adds a little gloss to very respectable result.

It also gave us opportunity for a little R and R before the next event.”

Round 2 was a two-day event at

Albany, Oregon on 30 and 31 August.

“This track would prove to be one of the scariest tracks we have ever raced on,” Mrs Mercier said. “It was full of rocks and pebbles: one mistake would mean that you would total your boat. The rocks were so bad we had to pull the jet unit apart after every run to check for damage to the blades.

“Ultimately, we decided to beg off a practice round on day one as we wanted to save the boat for the next day as we were so worried about damage. This turned out to be a wise move - as a few of our competitors learned the hard way.

“Come Sunday the plan was to throw everything we had at it and hope to keep it in the water.

“Greg maintained his focus throughout the whole day and, through a series of consistent runs and pushing the envelope just as far as we could, we managed yet another awesome result, slotting nicely into third place at the end of the event.”

The combined points from both events put the team equal second with fellow Aussie Phonsy Mullan.

“We couldn’t have been happier with the final result; we have our boat in one piece and get to go home number two in the world.”

Stephen Taylor

Get the right village advice TODAY’S retirees are looking for a lifestyle that offers affordability, comfort, convenience, security and quality facilities for recreation and social living.

Developers of villages have responded by creating new services, designing new facilities and adapting their environments to meet the growing popularity of this kind of lifestyle. But how do the prospective residents find out all the information and how do they make informative decisions.

It is an area of advice that has been lacking for a lot of years and there is now a very good solution. The Retirement Village Advisory Service, which is a free service to the public, has commenced business.

Heading the team is Wayne Rogers. Wayne is well known to many in the retirement industry having been a key driver in the growth of the retirement sector over the past 16 years.

He led the marketing function at Primelife from 1998 to late 2004, when he joined People First Retirement Living as their National Sales & Marketing Manager. Since 2006 he has consulted to many retirement companies on their marketing and sales needs.

Wayne was also a member of the Retirement Village Association Promotions & Marketing committee and therefore gained close communications and contact with many of today’s current developers and managers of developments.

Wayne stated that “It has always been an interest of mine to help people who want to move into a village.

There are so many questions they have and they need to be able to compare what facilities are at what village for what price to make informed decisions. We are going to take the stress out of their decision making and ensure they and their whole family understand what all the processes are before they buy or move in”.

This free service will be personalised with each of the interested parties and already we have received many enquiries for our services.

If you want to find out more, call 1300 85 80 86 or email rvadvisory@iinet.net.au

Ageing Well goes hi-tech

Live in a vibrant community BELEURA Village Mornington proves once again that it is much more than a place to live, but rather a vibrant retirement community where creativity and socialising go hand in hand.

And now the public can see how exceptional this village is with its open day on October 11 from 1pm to 4pm.

An all-weather event, Beleura Village open day will host a photography exhibition, art and craft stalls and afternoon tea.

This inaugural photographic exhibition will showcase over 70 works from the residents, many of whom are avid photographers.

With a strong tendency towards the creative, visitors on the day can also see the many arts and crafts the residents have made, and then enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea.

Beleura Village has an extensive range of facilities and activities suited to every interest, with exceptional architect-designed homes surrounded by gardens and wetlands.

There is even a fabulous community clubhouse and championship bowling green located in the heart of the village.

With Beleura Village almost sold out, there are still a small number of villas available. However plans and information will be on display for guests looking at the new village in Safety Beach.

Currently under construction, Martha Cove Village will open its first stage early next year, and is another development by Retirement Communities Australia.

“One of the best things about retirement villages is they have huge social capital for the residents,” said Julie Campbell of Retirement Communities Australia. “A lot of our residents volunteer for local charities, are involved with Lions Club and Probus. Retirement villages are nothing like they used to be. Most of these people have a better social life than many of us.”

Beleura Village open day is on Saturday October 11, from 1pm to 4pm.

Beleura Village is at 107 Bungower Road, Mornington. www.beleuravillage.com.au www.marthacovevillage.com.au

PENINSULA Health’s hugely successful Ageing Well Expo is back for the ninth year with a group of IT experts eager to help expo-goers with all things technology.

Event organiser Nikki Best said the expo, which expects to attract over 1200 attendees, gives older people the chance to explore the many different ways in which they can age positively, including using the latest technology.

“Health-related apps and ‘wearables’ are on the rise. There are apps to remind you when to take medication, to track how far you’ve walked or even help with rehabilitation exercises.

“There’s so many ways people can use technology to age well, all they need is a helping hand to get started. That’s why we want expogoers to bring along their iPads, mobile phones and lots of questions for our tech team - a keen group of students from Monash University,” Mrs Best said.

For the first time there will also be workshops throughout the day to allow people to learn, share and discuss topics including reducing risk of dementia, activities for carers, planning for the future and cooking for one.

“It’s a fantastic informative event; with more than 80 displays from local health, council services and other community organisations,” \ Mrs Best said.

As well as entertainment, information and group activities, expo-goers can test their blood pressure, hearing, balance and diabetes risk in the dedicated health screening room.

The event is free and refreshments are provided throughout the day. There is ample parking and the venue has disability access throughout.

The Ageing Well Expo will be held on Wednesday 8 October, 9.30am – 2.00pm at New Peninsula Baptist Church, 370 Craigie Road, Mount Martha.

Free transport is available from Frankston, Mornington, Blairgowrie and Hastings. To book a seat call Peninsula Transport Assist on 9708 8241. Bus RSVP close on Friday 3 October.

The Peninsula Health event is held in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire, Brotherhood of St Laurence, Frankston City Council, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local and National Seniors Australia.

Q REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

We don’t just care for our patients we care about them Our success is measured by our patients’ feedback.

The Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey is conducted annually by an external provider, who asks our patients a number of questions about their entire hospital stay. In the most recent Press Ganey Survey 92 (>60%) inpatients responded and gave us an average score of 88.4. This placed us in the 99th percentile and when benchmarked against other private rehabilitation hospital we ranked number 1.

We conduct patient experience surveys and ask them: “Why did you choose to come to SJOG Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital?”

Here is what our patients had to say1. “My father was a patient 3 years’ ago and he was looked after so well, he went home so healthy “ 2. “The people from the retirement village I’m at have told me how fantastic it was at SJOG Frankston and how their recovery was quick” 3. “My mother was at SJOG Berwick

as a patient and they looked after her so well, that when my oncologist recommended SJOG Frankston to regain my energy I said yes straight away.”

4. “I completed “outpatients’ physiotherapy at SJOG Frankston and the physiotherapist’ were so caring and knew their ‘stuff ’, that when I Ànally had to have my hip replacement I made sure that I came back here” 5. “I’ve been a patient here at Frankston, and my care was fantastic and I felt so well when I went home the Àrst time that I made sure I came back after my other knee replacement.”

6. “My son suggested I come to SJOGF, as he has friend’s parents that came here in the past.”

7. “An acute hospital suggested I come to SJOGF after I had a motor bike accident, they said that it will assist in me returning to home. Also, the nurses that came from SJOG were great and gave me hope that I’ll recover from my accident.”

Annable ‘honoured’ to win coaches’ award On show: Guests peruse entries in the Friends of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s art award.

Budding artists show off their works MORE than 800 budding artists aged 5-18 have submitted portraits for the Friends of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s art award.

The Friends aim to encourage family-focused activities and encourage support for the gallery through the award, which is open to those from prep to year 12 at 30 peninsula schools.

The Friends’ Art Award coincides with the Archibald Prize exhibition on display at the gallery from 4 October to 16 November.

The 12 award-winning works will be displayed at the gallery throughout the Archibald Prize exhibition.

The schools of first prize winners will receive an award sponsored by Hanks Orthodontics of Mt Eliza, the sponsor of art award.

Prizes from a pool of $2800 - funded by the Friends - will be presented to winning entrants on 21 October.

They will go to first, second and third in each of the four age categories.

All prizewinners will receive a one-year family membership of the gallery.

The judges include gallery director Jane Alexander, curator Wendy Garden, and Friends president Marian Vickery. The guest judge is Karen Vickery, manager access and learning,

at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, who will present the prizes.

In association with the peninsula’s libraries and chambers of commerce, all other entries will be displayed at some retail outlets in Mornington, Mt Eliza, Hastings, Rosebud and Sorrento.

The Friends are an independent association that promotes and supports the gallery in building and conserving its collections, improving facilities and purchasing acquisitions.

They raise funds through memberships, programs and events, and donate more than $40,000 per annum to benefit the gallery.

DUANE Annable, above, was named South East Region football coach of the year at the AFCA South East awards dinner last week.

The Crib Point senior coach stood out after taking Crib Point to its first grand final in 13 years with a team of mostly young talent developed through their junior program.

They ultimately lost the decider to Sorrento, however, the plaudits surrounding their season continue to resinate throughout the region.

Although still smarting from the grand final loss, Annable said: “It’s a wonderful honour. It’s obviously good to be recognised for all the hard work and I am privileged to receive it – but I would have preferred a premiership medal.”

Annable said a highlight of the year was watching his young team claw their way back from five goals down in the preliminary final against Rye to

win by a point.

“We developed a lot of local talent on about half the pay scale of most clubs in the finals and we are hopeful of hanging onto a few. It’s such an even competition that any team on any given day can win.”

Annable began coaching the senior team this season after being playing coach in 2003 and 2004.

Along with other category winners in the Australian Football Coaches Association awards, Annable has been nominated for the state award, which will be announced at the MCG on 14 November.

Other award winners are youth coach of the year Gavin Taylor (Balnarring JFC), junior coach of the year Michael Sullivan (Edithvale Aspendale JFC), youth girls coach of the year Troy Robinson (Beaconsfield JFC) and Auskick coach of the year Patrick Swayne (Moorooduc Auskick).

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Six military horses cause chaos Compiled by Melissa Hodge.

MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of dairy and other cattle, sheep, farm and dairy utensils. *** MR J. Cuthbert sailed on Wednesday, by the Otway, for England, his uncle (Sir Alric Churchward) having sent for him to attend the Commission in Royal Artillery. *** THE friends of Mr Cyril Twining will be pleased to learn that he is able to resume his duties, his arm which was broken by an accident some weeks ago, being quite recovered. *** AT St. Paul’s Church of England.

Frankston, on Sunday next, special collections will be taken for the Home Mission fund of the Church. Out of this fund 60 parishes around Melbourne are helped, and many other activities of the church are financed.

Rev G. A. Kitchen, on Sunday last, told the congregation that true patriotism meant sacrifice, and that those who were giving so well to the Patriotic Fund should up their subscriptions to the funds for local needs. *** THE Spring Meeting of the Mornington Racing Club is to take place at the Drywood estate racecourse on Tuesday, 8th December next. Among the improvements to be made at the course will be a saddling paddock and an up to date stewards’ room, with

balcony.

The members’ season tickets (for two meetings) were fixed at 7s 6d ; admission to course, 2s, and to course and paddock 5s. *** MRS. J. W. Swords, of Victoria Villa, Hutton street, Dandenong, died on Friday morning last, aged 93 years. The deceased lady was born at Nenagh, Ireland, on April 21, 1821, and came of a good old English family, her mother being one of the Falkners, of Bushy Park and Mount Falkner, county of Tipperary.

She married in 1839 James Walter Swords, whose father was a coloursergeant in the famous Black Watch, and spent the rest of his days as librarian at Somerset, House, London.

They emigrated to Australia in March 1840, in the sailing ship Teresa (Captain Wood,) arriving at Liardet’s Beach, now Port Melbourne, after a five months’ voyage.

Mr Swords came out under engagement to Mr Thomas Strode, of the “Port Phillip Patriot.” Mr Swords was employed as shipping reporter on the “Patriot”, and afterwards journeyed overland to Portland, where he founded the first provincial paper, the Portland “Guardian.”

In 1851 he had amassed considerable landed property in Bourke street and at Collingwood which was then open country, and was building freely, when the goldfields rush took place, and he was left with a number of half-finished houses on his hands, and

was sold up by the money-lenders.

In 1860 he established the Bacchus Marsh “Guardian,” and in 1874 the Dandenong “Advertiser,” now the property of Messrs. Henry Falkner and F. W. Swords. Mr Swords predeceased his wife 30 years ago.

Mrs Swords was the mother of 13 children, the eldest being the late Mrs Henry Scarborough, of Frankston. *** AFTER the performance of “Who’s Who,” the members of St Paul’s Club gave a supper to. Mr C. Elis and presented him with a large aluminium kettle as a wedding gift. *** OWING to the unsettled state of the weather, and the splendid rains, which we hoped would be general, the Progress Association were unable to continue the “War of weeds and thistles” at the Frankston cemetery, but we hope that the good work will be continued when the opportunity offers. The association expect to organize another working bee shortly. *** THE Frankston Choral Society held their usual rehearsal on Monday night. The members were very enthusiastic over the madrigals Mr Earp is teaching.This is an advanced form of choral music, and is very attractive and tuneful. The members are to be congratulated on their initial efforts.

An advertisement in another column draws attention to an alteration in the arrangements for the next choral practice. Owing to the Mechanics bring

occupied on Monday evening the choral will practice in the Mechanics on Wednesday at 8pm. A good muster is expected. *** A SPLENDID response is being made to the appeal for eggs made by our Patriotic Committee. Mr W. W. Richardson has already received over 40 dozen eggs, and these will be forwarded to the troops as soon as arrangements can be made. This is indeed a worthy object, and thanks are due to Mr Hocking for his suggestion, and Mr Bert Shannon and Mr Richardson, for the trouble they have taken. *** SIX horses attached to the ammunition wagon near the military barracks became unmanageable about 2.30pm on Tuesday last and bolted along St Kilda Road, causing great excitement.

Three of the horses were mounted by soldiers. They galloped madly along the road with the wagon bumping in the rear and the riders trying to swerve them out of the way of approaching traffic.

As the bolting horses approached the Homoeopathic Hospital the lead stumbled and in a moment the five animals were down in a heap. The riders were buried amongst them.

Archibald McFarlane, 28, driver, attached to the Expeditionary Force, sustained concussion and trauma injury to the left shoulder and was taken to the Homoeopathic Hospital for treatment.

One of the horses fell against the dummy of a tram and unseated a passenger, Mrs McEwan, 23, of Mainroad, Ringwood, Mrs McEwan’s nose and face were cut through coming in contact with the metal road, and she had to receive attention at the hospital, the two other drivers escaped serious injury. *** DON’T TOSS THE BABY. THE throwing a baby into the air and catching him again is always a risky practice, certain though the tosser may be of his quickness of eye and sureness of hands.

A sudden and unexpected movement of the child in his mid-air flight may result in a cruel fall.

A gay young father snatched up his baby boy one morning and tossed him to the ceiling.

Twice the little fellow went flying through the air and came down safely into the waiting arms. The third time the excited child gave a spring of delight as his father’s hands released him, plunged forward, and pitching over the father’s shoulder, fell head downward to the floor.

When the poor child came out of the stupor in which he lay for hours, it was found that, although no bones had been broken, the brain had sustained an injury that would in all probability render the child an imbecile.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 October, 1914.

I.C.U.R.A.V.I.P. (or, how to buy a rap superstar)

By Stuart McCullough AT first I misunderstood. I was waiting for a take away coffee when an email appeared in my inbox without warning from a large department store. The subject line declared: VIP Sale – Hurry last days!

I know for a fact that ‘VIP’ stands for ‘Very Important Person’ and not, as I’d previously thought, ‘Voluptuous Idiot Pants’. I don’t know much about VIP sales except they’re about as frequent as a visit by Halley’s Comet.

There was not a second to lose.

Instantly, I leapt to my feet and abandoned my low-fat soy latte with half an artificial sweetener. Away from the madding crowd, my fingers worked furiously to type out the only question anyone would want to ask when time was so clearly of the essence.

According to Macy’s, I must act now or forever hold my peace or someone else’s peace in the event that I had been careless and temporarily misplaced my own.

‘OMG.’ (I was, after all, using a mobile phone.) ‘THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW’, I replied.

‘I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!’ (Thank goodness for predictive text.)

I’ve been told that using upper case for emails can be interpreted as aggressive, to which I generally respond with violence, preferably using a piece of rubber hose.

Then, without wasting so much as another nanosecond, I asked the one question that had been burning inside me from the moment I received the email – ‘REGARDING YOUR VIP

SALE: HOW MUCH FOR KANYE WEST?’ It’s been said that the internet connects people in an instant. To this time, however, I’ve received no response.

At first I thought I was too late – maybe someone else had decided Kanye West would be the perfect toothbrush holder, Christmas ornament or pot plant stand and snapped him up. Perhaps I’d have to settle for David Bowie as an au pair or Ricky Gervais as my shoe butler. Granted, it’s not quite as awesome as having Mr. Kardashian on hand for use – say – as a human couch cushion, but life is (if nothing else) a series of

compromises.

But before I could say so much as ‘I’ll take two Betty Whites and a packet of Bill Cosbys’ I was struck by a thought with the force of a Ford Cortina trying to sneak through a pedestrian crossing: what if Macy’s were not selling VIPs, but inviting them to a sale? What if I was, in fact, a Very Important Person?

In a split second, a warm sense of satisfaction washed over me – I’d been waiting for this day my whole life.

Being declared a VIP has been something on my bucket list for yonks. Frankly, I thought it might take a little longer to attain such an

exulted status and, to be honest, now that I’ve achieved my life’s ambition I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with my time.

This changes everything. Forget queuing up. Whether it’s for the tram or the movies, being an internationally recognized VIP ought to carry with it certain privileges.

Actually, forget the tram – I deserve a limo. And a motorcade. Maybe a security detail, preferably in a helicopter.

There should be merchandise featuring my name and image. T-shirts, lunchboxes and an unauthorized biography would be the tip of a very profitable mountain.

After years dedicated to being very, very ordinary, my inner wonderfulness has suddenly been spotted, and from quite a distance too.

To be considered ‘important’ by a twerp or a dead-set nong is no comfort. I, on the hand, have had my all-round awesomeness recognized by a major corporation based in another continent.

All of us, I think, aspire to greatness. Indeed, YouTube was invented to make the whole idea of greatness more achievable. Unbeknownst to me, I have succeeded in becoming great without even realizing. Which, of course, is fantastic.

I grew up around important people.

I knew this not because of anything they said but because their cars told me so.

When I was a kid, lots of people had a sticker on the front window of their vehicles with the McDonald’s

logo and the initials ‘VIP’.

I had no idea what it took to be considered important to Ronald McDonald. Was it an honour they dished out to anyone who actually ate their pickles or was some act of bravery required?

I’d be quite willing kick the Hamburglar right in the junior fries or rescue Grimace from a burning building if required.

I might even be ready to take a bullet for Mayor McCheese.

As I imagined it, being a VIP at McDonalds came with unimaginable benefits – from complimentary upsizing to diplomatic immunity. I was jealous and I wanted to be part of it.

Sadly, it was not to be.

Even though Macys has (belatedly) conceded that I am a very important person, they’ve done precious little about it beyond sending the email.

There’s been no limo, no security detail and Kanye West isn’t returning my calls. At this rate, I’ll have to record an outrageously derogatory rap record just to get his attention. I doubt my packet of Bills Cosbys will arrive before Christmas and, sadly, I don’t think they’ll have Chevy Chase in my size. Suddenly, I don’t feel that important. In fact, I feel downright ordinary.

Maybe that’s all right. Everyone’s a very important person in his or her own way. Perhaps I’ll do some shopping – it never fails to make me feel better. I think I’ll start by getting a pair of Voluptuous Idiot Pants. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Cricket season preview: Piners face Hills first up SOUTHERN PENINSULA

na

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

By IT Gully WITHIN a blink of an eye, the footy gear has been stashed in the top of the cupboard and the cricket gear has been dusted off.

Round one of the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association season launches on Saturday (4 October) with one day matches scheduled.

In PROVINCIAL, the new kids on the block, Pines, who has recruited well again in the off season, will face Heatherhill at Bruce Park. Pines of course won the District Grand Final against Delacombe Park last season.

Reigning premier Mornington will be favourites again, despite losing a couple of First XI players. Regardless, the Dogs had outstanding depth last season and with a few new faces, will be the team to beat yet again. The Dogs tackle old foe Mt Eliza in the opening round.

Crib Point may have a slow start to the season given two of their most important players, Brad Davidson and Luke Herrington, were locked down

with footy commitments.

Regardless, the Pies will be more than competitive yet again. Their season starts against a new look Long Island, minus Paul Hartle, who has crossed to his original club, Seaford.

Baxter will be without familiar faces Darren and Marc Uccello (Seconds) and Adrian Mack (Langwarrin) this season, however, will continue to be a force. The semi retirements of the Uccelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and departure of Mack opens the door for some who have been banging it down for a while. A few new faces will also have an impact.

Baxter faces Moorooduc in Round 1.

Sorrento, who went so close to going all the way again last season, faces Peninsula Old Boys in the opening round while Langwarrin will play host to Rye. Both the Old Boys and Demons were a disappointment last season and will be looking to cause upsets in Round 1.

In DISTRICT ranks, there is enormous expectation on Seaford.

Seaford has recruited better than

any club this season with league superstar Paul Hartle going back to captain-coach the club.

Whilst Hartle is an enormous coup in his own right, Seaford has been able to retain its list, whilst welcoming back the likes of Faisal Payenda, Andy McMannus and Nick Simpendorfer. A couple of walk-ins off the street have also added some real sting to the team. In the opening round, Seaford plays Hastings at Seaford Reserve.

Carrum goes head to head with Seaford Tigers, who had an enormous opening season last year in District.

Carrum was disappointing and will want to get off to a good start at Roy Dore Reserve.

Baden Powell underperformed last season also and will be up against the young and talented Mt Martha. The Reds are another year older and could be an improver.

Delacombe Park was knocked off in the Grand Final last season after being overwhelming favourites.

The cost of winning a flag

The Parkers need to show what they are made of this season. There is too much talent in this side not to challenge again. The Parkers play Boneo at home in the opening round.

Flinders and Main Ridge will be interesting teams to watch this season and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a good gauge when they go up against one another in the first round.

In the final game, Somerville tests Red Hill, who won the Sub District flag in dominant circumstances last season.

In Sub District cricket, Ballam Park will be hoping that its luck changes after three years of humiliation.

The Knights have been the whipping boys over the past three years in Provincial and District and have dropped two divisions in that period of time.

The Knights face Tootgarook at Truemans Rd this Saturday.

Balnarring will unveil new recruit and former league medallist David Ross (Langwarrin) when it hosts

Dromana. It is believed that Ross is considering a return to bowling after overcoming a bout of the yips.

The Tigers have really struggled in recent times and will be hoping for a better season. Balnarring at Balnarring is a tough start.

Tyabb and Rosebud go head to head.

Rosebud was inconsistent last season but unveiled some great young talent.

If those young Buds can continue to improve, they should look forward to another good season.

Pearcedale and Frankston YCW will be hoping for good beginnings when they face off.

YCW was a bit like Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army last season with a lot of old faces. The Stonecats have good kids and they need games in them.

Finally, neighbours Carrum Downs and Skye do battle. The Cougars and Skye were also rans last season and will need to improve significantly if they are to challenge.

League teams of the year THE Nepean and Peninsula League Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of the Year were announced at the presentation night this month. There were 63 players selected by the coaches in Nepean League, while Peninsula League coaches chose 62 different players.

The final team was selected purely on weight of numbers.

The coaches of the year, Scott Mathers (Peninsula: Frankston YCW) and Duane Annable (Nepean: Crib Point), picked themselves after both of their clubs finished clear on top of the ladder in the home and away season.

The Most Valuable Players, Anthony Barry (Peninsula) and Leigh Poholke (Nepean) were selected after receiving the most number of nominations fromr the coaches.

The teams are:

By Toe Punt THE past 12 months of preparation, long hours, recover sessions, cold winter training nights, sweat, tears and sacrifice all came down to two hours on Saturday and Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 2014 Nepean and Peninsula League grand finals.

Congratulations to all involved in the Sorrento, Crib Point, Frankston YCW and Mornington Football Clubs for making it to the most important game of the season.

However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at this time that we need to reflect on what it took to get these two teams here.

Getting to a grand final doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just stop with the 35-odd players who have represented each of the grand final clubs throughout the home and away season.

Getting to the Grand Final starts with the president and their executives for the tireless effort that they put in, week-in, week-out. Whilst the players and coaches get the adulation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;behind the scenesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people who keep the place ticking over. Their only reward is seeing their clubs succeed.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the people who man the gates, mark the grounds, do the time keeping, sell raffle tickets, sell the beverages, man the canteen and barbecues, manage the scoreboard, clean the rooms, work behind the social club bar, run the water and

so on who are the backbone and lifeblood of the footy club.

Then, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the coaches and their support teams, who do so much more than turning up to training, putting out witches hats, telling players what to do and how to do it and rocking-up on match day with a whiteboard. For these guys, their season begins the very minute the last one finishes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; blowing wind up the backsides of their own players to keep them at the club, telling potential recruits how good they are in a bid to entice them to their club, ensuring practice matches and grounds are organised and making sure they have a committed and hardened team wanting success.

So, when the 44 players turned up to the two grounds last weekend, they needed to remember that there was so much more on the line than them tasting premiership glory.

Every kick, handball, mark, tackle, shepherd, block and sacrifice was felt and shared by so many more than those wearing the same jumper as the players on the field.

For Sorrento and Frankston YCW, they felt the ultimate joy after a testing year of football.

For Crib Point and Mornington, they can be satisfied with their outstanding year but disappointed that they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to bring their best on the most important day of the footy year.

King on way, Chelsea recruits FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt ‘Push-up’ at Pines THINGS just seem to be getting better for Pines.

After announcing the signing of former West Coast Eagle, North Melbourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards, it seems Pines will welcome Jake ‘The Push-up’ King next season.

Whilst the Pythons won’t have Jake King for the entire season, he is expected to play in Round 1 and other times throughout the season.

Seagulls add more PENINSULA League cellar dwellers Chelsea have added another couple of big names to their list on the back of securing former Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra as coach.

Former Richmond tough man Daniel Connors is the latest addition to the Seagulls, while Port Melbourne superstar Shane Valenti has also crossed to the club.

With two former AFL players and one of the VFL’s best, the Seagulls are sure to improve next season.

However, the recruiting doesn’t stop there from all reports. It is believed Guerra has a couple more aces up his sleeve.

Demons hunt for coach IN Nepean League, there is a lot of focus on Rye and Sorrento.

The Demons are hopeful that former league medallist Greg Doyle will take on the coaching role.

Former Sorrento premiership player Josh Moore is also in the mix. He has plenty of good contacts in the Eastern Football League, which is appealing to the Demons. One of those ‘contacts’ is former century goal kicker, Justin Van Unen.

Further down the road at the reigning premiers, there is a hot rumour that coach Troy Schwarze is considering a move to Queensland.

Duane tops off a great year CRIB Point grand final coach and Nepean League team of the year coach, Duane Annable, capped off a wonderful year on a personal level last week after he was awarded with the South East AFL Regional Coach of the Year award.

Annable had tipped Mornington coach Stuart Seagar and Berwick coach Rhys Nisbett for the award.

Red fever strikes in the bays

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro NOW the footy is done and dusted for another year we can seriously turn our attention to fishing.

With snapper becoming more frequent by the day, angler excitement is starting to reach fever pitch. It's the time of the year where tradies swap tool trailers for boat trailers and the most reliable of partners become absent, all caught up in the quest to bag a snapper.

Yes, many suffer the effects of the red fever, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's to be embraced it's a Melbourne institution.

The arrival of the snapper heralds the changing of the season, the cold dark bitter days of winter give way to spring flowers, warm sunshine and promise of summer fun.

Port Phillip and Western Port produce most of Victoria's snapper, making the Mornington Peninsula ground zero for snapper enthusiasts.

Popular spots at this time of year are between Carrum and Mt Martha in Port Phillip and from Cowes to Warneet in Western Port.

For best results fish deep waters during the day and move into the shallower water between sunset and sunrise.

The most productive rig for snapper is a running sinker. However, anglers fishing soft plastics and flasher - snapper snatcher - rigs also do well.

Snapper can respond well to a good burley trail and popular baits include pilchards, squid, silver whiting, couta, and salmon.

Snapper in Port Phillip are easily caught on 4-8kg outfits. In Western Port anglers prefer 8-10kg equipment due to the strong tides.

Snapper are a symbol of Victorian fishing and culture. They are more than just a fish, they are the essence of the season, the spirit of the bays.

Reports: In Port Phillip the best results are coming from those fishing the close shallow marks. Patience, luck and a

good gummy sharks and a few school sharks.

Tight lines and calm seas.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

Safety when out seeking snapper

Welcome aboard: James Wickam is keen to display this 6.5kg snapper he landed after setting out from Yaringa Boat Hire.

bit of knowledge is key for early season snapper. Sinkers as light as possible, fishing good structure or beds and quality well-presented bait are all good steps in the right direction.

In the southern end of the bay whiting and squid are solid options in the shallows and gummy sharks to 20kg have been caught in the deeper channels.

Around Mornington good schools of salmon and squid continue to haunt the shallows and, as the water has started to warm, we are seeing garfish and whiting. Flathead have been consistent and snapper more frequent every week.

From Frankston to Mordialloc anglers after a snapper should fish the reefs from 6-10m.

Anglers fishing in kayaks have had some incredible results, landing snapper to over 80cm by targeting the shallow reefs 6-8m and using soft plastics. Squid, salmon, red mullet and flathead have also been landed.

In Western Port all the talk is of snapper. The north end is most productive at the moment, but in the next week or so we will see good fishing extend throughout. Not only are snapper getting caught but squid, whiting and pike are in the shallows, while the deeper waters are holding some

BOATIES are being urged to play safe when out to catch snapper.

Transport Safety Victoria says that this fishing season has already led to more than 100 recreational boating incidents, resulting in one fatality and three serious injury incidents.

“The snapper season traditionally marks the commencement of the Victorian boating season. For many boaters, this will be the first time their vessel has been on the water for several months,” TSV spokesperson Marty O’Connell said.

“At this time of the year, we typically see a spike in the number of broken down vessels because they have not been properly checked over the winter break. These breakdowns can result in a dangerous situation.”

Mr O’Connell said stale fuel should be replaced, batteries charged and correct safety equipment - lifejackets, flares and fire extinguishers – carried.

Being visible and steering clear of ships should be a priority when underway.

“If you’re fishing in Port Phillip, remember that you cannot anchor in shipping channels or fairways and should always steer clear of ships,” Mr O’Connell said.

Mazda unveils its all-new MX-5 THE all-new Mazda MX-5 will make its European auto show debut this week at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

First unveiled in September at a global launch comprising simultaneous events in Japan, USA and Spain, the fourth-generation MX-5 is expected to give another boost to the unconventional Japanese brand, which is currently riding a wave of success.

In terms of design, the latest edition of the best-selling roadster in history is arguably the sportiest ever.

The striking rendition of Mazda’s ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design theme is full of life, expressing the car’s agility and the exciting experience that awaits behind the wheel.

In keeping with MX-5 tradition, the cabin is snug yet comfortable. Only now it features modern conveniences like the MZD Connect connectivity system and i-ACTIVSENSE, Mazda’s innovative line-up of active safety technologies.

And what its looks promise, the technology can deliver. Under the bonnet, high-compression SKYACTIV-G petrol engines drive the rear wheels, while the specially-developed SKYACTIV-Chassis ensures the most advanced Jinba Ittai driver-and-car-asone experience yet.

At the same time the MX-5 retains the charm, reliability, affordability and above all lightweight fun of the original model launched 25 years ago.

The pure roadster experience lives on.
