THE Mornington Peninsula is being hit hard by cuts to emergency relief services.

Managers of community support and information centres say they are strug-gling to provide for the increasing food, clothing and welfare demands across the peninsula.

Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington support and information centres are usually the fi rst point of contact for those in dire need.

They provide food vouchers, food parcels, assist with payments, provide advocacy and budgeting assistance and, generally, work in the best inter-ests of those struggling.

But the welfare services are reeling from Department of Social Services funding cuts which stripped the region of more than $85,000 in emergency re-lief funding this fi nancial year.

“The reduction in emergency relief funding is extremely disappointing,” Westernport Community Support manager John Fraser said.

“The information and support cen-tres provide one of the few safety nets available to the marginalised, vulner-able and fi nancially challenged mem-bers of the community. One of their main roles is to assist those who are most at risk and who are experiencing a short-term crisis.”

Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre man-ager Jackie Currie said the cuts are un-acceptable “given that many residents accessing the support and information

centres are living on, or below, the poverty line”.

“Many residents who are on fi xed and low incomes have also experi-enced a reduction to their Centrelink payments recently through pension reforms.

“They are paying high rental and utility costs together with the ever increasing costs of day to day living expenses, such as food and fresh pro-duce, education expenditure, essential medications and fuel.”

Ms Currie said the department had also removed funding for intensive case management services to residents in crisis.

“The emergency relief program is fantastic in helping those in crisis man-age their immediate needs,” she said.

“However, the case management program enables people to achieve real sustainable change, getting them out of the crisis cycle all together.

“While we are doing everything we can to be innovative, these fund-ing cuts simply mean we will have to deliver less and the most vulnerable in our community will suffer.”

Mornington Community Informa-tion and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott: “We have been incredibly hard hit and now have to look to our com-munity to help fund these programs.”

HASTINGS grandmother Eunice Mathews can’t wait to start her 16th Variety Vic Bash on Wednesday 12 August to raise money for underprivi-leged children.

The 79-year-old, known as “Mum” to the other participants, says she “loves meeting people and helping children”, which is what the 25-year-old Bash is all about.

Ms Mathews will drive in an old

Mercedes to Wagga Wagga – her birthplace – at the start of the fi rst leg and then traverse rough bush tracks all the way through Coonabarabran, St George in southern inland Queens-land, Charleville, and then Longreach for a two-day stop over.

Then, she’ll swap over into an old fi re truck for the second leg to Hugh-enden, Cobbold Gorge, and, fi nally, the northern-most town on the east

coast of Australia: Cooktown, which the bash is visiting for the fi rst time.

To raise money for the trip, Ms Mathews is raffl ing teddy bears and other donated goods in Ritchie’s Arcade.

On the last day, participants will enjoy a scenic drive south to Port Douglas and a party night to remem-ber. It’s a fair bet “Mum” will have the best time of all…

ST JOSEPH’S Primary School, Crib Point, has set up a fund to raise money for needy families.

The Helping Hands in our Com-munity program starts Friday with a morning tea featuring a talk by author Michael Grose.

Grose, who lives in Balnarring, has written eight books about parenting, including his latest, Thriving! Other titles include Why First Borns Rule the World and Last Borns Want to Change It.

St Joseph’s principal Gabrielle Espenschied said money raised would “be used in times of need for families in our school and local community”.

The suggestion to start Helping Hands in our Community came from parents of children at the school, Ker-ry Parkinson and Simone Wanklyn.

Ms Espenschied said the pair “felt there was a need to provide assistance to others”.

“This is a wonderful example following in the footsteps of Mary Mackillop who lived by never seeing a need without addressing it,” she said.

Ms Espenschied said money raised at the morning tea and through other methods (raffl es, cake stalls) would be held in the school’s Parents and Friends account and she would choose the recipients “after recom-mendations from the committee and will be kept strictly confi dential”.

For details about Friday’s morning tea call 5983 9374.

Parenting advice: Author Michael Grose has donated his time to speak at a morning tea to raise money for needy families.

HASTINGS has again fi gured prominently in the Dropping off the Edge 2015 report on disadvan-taged suburbs around Melbourne.

The report – by Catholic Social Services Aus-tralia and Jesuit Social Services released last week has again ranked Hastings as being “most disadvantaged”.

The report says the town has a “complex web of persistent and hard-to-shift disadvantage”.

Disadvantaged suburbs – nicknamed “strug-gle towns” – have high rates of unemployment, criminal convictions, disability, low education, child maltreatment, family violence and psychi-atric admissions.

Hastings, Rosebud West and Frankston North fi gured prominently in the latest report.

Frankston North was in in the top 10 per cent of “most disadvantaged” suburbs in the report which had six levels of disadvantage. Rosebud West was in the top fi ve per cent in the second level and Hastings in the top fi ve per cent in the fi fth level. Rosebud was in the sixth level.

Hastings was in the third level in similar studies in 2007 and 2004.

Report organisers said the concept of social disadvantage in their study referred to a range of diffi culties “that reduce a person’s opportunities in life and prevent them from participating fully in society”.

They said indicators – or signposts – helped to identify areas of concentrated disadvantage.

The report found that a small number of post-codes accounted for a disproportionately high level of disadvantage. Residents in these suburbs

are three times more likely to experience long-term unemployment or have been exposed to child maltreatment; 2.6 times more likely to have experienced domestic violence; 2.4 times more likely to be on disability support and twice as likely to have criminal convictions.

It found a second way to gain an overall pic-ture of disadvantage was to count the number of times each location fi lled one of the highest rank-ing spots on each of the 22 indicators. Generally, a ranking in the top fi ve per cent of results was considered “high”.

The two methods produced similar results, but with some variations refl ecting diverse political, demographic, economic and social landscapes across the different jurisdictions. Nevertheless, the data permits some signifi cant messages to be read on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, the report said.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess said studies like Dropping off the Edge “focus on the challenges our community faces, but say little about the strength, resilience and potential of our people”.

“The majority of challenges we face locally can be overcome with meaningful investment by the state government,” Mr Burgess said. “Once that confi dence is shown in our local people, such as over the past four years with the large amounts of funding invested locally by the Coalition while it was in government, we saw the positive way our community responded.

“Unfortunately, in its fi rst budget this year, instead of investing money in our area, the Andrews Labor government chose to strip $80 million from us.

“The future of our area is very bright and all that is required is for the state government to show a little confi dence in our people by invest-ing in us.” Continued Page 8

ROTARY clubs on the Mornington Peninsula are among 1100 across Australia urging families to “have the chat” about organ and tissue donation with their loved ones and register their donation decisions during DonateLife Week.

Rotary’s participation in the week was prompted by the story of Jack Wilson, grandson of one of the 21 Ro-tary District Governors in Australia.

He was born with nephrotic syn-drome, a congenital kidney disease causing lengthy hospital stays. Jack had to return to hospital initially fi ve days each week for four-hour sessions of protein infusion, then 10 hours home dialysis every night.

From three days after his birth in mid-2013 he had a tube protruding from his body – no bath, no beach, no pool – until, at the age of 21 months, his life was transformed by the gift of a kidney.

“For Jack, a new kidney has meant a return to normal eating, boundless en-ergy and no more lines, with their risk of infection, mother Tammy Wilson said. “It’s such an incredible gift. We know that he will need more kidney transplants throughout his life, but for now we’re excited and hopeful for his future.”

Professor Jonathan Craig, of West-mead Children’s Hospital in Sydney, said Australia was a world leader in organ-and-tissue transplants – a posi-tion dependent “on the compassion of ordinary Australians who make a decision which enables us to change lives”.

Rotary Club of Frankston Long Is-land president Penny Sayer said each organ-and-tissue donor could trans-

form the lives of 10 or more people. “It’s important to go onto the internet and register your donation decision on the Australian Organ Donor Register and, importantly, that you share your decision with those closest to you,” she said. “Registered organ donors are truly a gift to the world.

“To optimise every potential organ-and-tissue donor, we each need to have the chat with our family members so that we know each other’s donation decision.

“It can make a life-saving difference to those waiting for a transplant. It can be the difference between seeing and being blind, mobility and never walk-ing again.”

In Australia, families are always asked to confi rm the donation decision of their loved ones before transplants can proceed.

“Families that have discussed and know each other’s donation decisions are much more likely to support dona-tions proceeding,” Ms Sayer said.

“This is a conversation that could one day save lives.”

DonateLife Week is Australia’s na-tional awareness week to promote or-gan and tissue donation. It is led by the Organ and Tissue Authority.

Feetal attraction: Like him or not, the new Peninsula Link gnome is attracting plenty of attention – and even some miniature lookalikes. Little gnomes have been appearing at the feet of nine-metre high Refl ective Lullaby ever since it was erected on the Cranbourne Rd exit earlier this month. The stainless steel sculpture replaced the Tree of Life which had waved its fronds to freeway drivers over the past two years. It has now gone back to McClelland Gallery as the fi rst of 14 major works to grace the site until 2037. Picture: Gary Sissons

THE organisational shake-up of Morn-ington Peninsula Shire continues with nine staff being made redundant just days before CEO Carl Cowie unveiled more “new arrangements”.

Mr Cowie says the changes to staff-ing levels and the organisational struc-ture will “deliver enhanced service to the community”.

In a statement issued on Thursday Mr Cowie said he had identifi ed a number of changes “to better align shire operations and deliver effi cien-cies and savings”.

The mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said councillors were “supportive of Mr Cowie’s work on identifying effi cien-cies, streamlining processes and most importantly, all aspects of customer service”.

Mr Cowie took over the shire’s top job in December last year, succeeding Michael Kennedy who had been CEO for nearly 15 years.

Under the Local Government Act Mr Cowie has one year within which he can make interim appointments.

New senior appointments made by Mr Cowie are interim chief fi nancial offi cer Matthew Hubbard, interim fi -nancial controller Bulent Oz and in-terim buildings and facilities manager

Craig Humphries.Positions to be “removed from the

organisation” include director of en-vironment, manager of environment protection and community safety.

When Mr Cowie took over the shire had a full time equivalent staff of 663 and he says there is “no target for staff reductions or fi nal staff numbers”.

“Since my appointment I have spent a lot of time meeting with members of the community and others in the local government sector looking at how we can be the best, most effi cient organi-sation possible,” he said.

“As a result, I have identifi ed a num-ber of opportunities to better align op-erational activities which will deliver signifi cant effi ciency gains and tangi-ble cost reductions.”

With 19 positions already made re-dundant and new people hired, Mr Cowie has warned his proposed “new arrangements” will “impact on a num-ber of existing positions”.

The latest round of redundancies has seen the shire’s recreation and leisure department cut from 12 to three.

Mr Cowie said he will consult with the shire’s employee consultative com-mittee and unions.

“Impacted staff will be supported through career transition programs,” Mr Cowie said.

“As a result of the new arrange-

ments, a number of existing positions will be impacted and we are following all the appropriate steps to consult and engage with those affected staff,” Mr Cowie said.

“There will be some opportunities for redeployment, but ultimately a number of existing positions will no longer be required under the proposed new, streamlined arrangements.”

Changes foreshadowed by Mr Cow-ie include: A closer alignment between the shire’s planning and infrastructure ac-tivities; A stronger focus on planning and building compliance activities, sepa-rating it from overseeing environment health and domestic animals legisla-tion; and Forming a buildings and facilities unit to streamline the management of community buildings and facilities.

The community events team will join the economic development unit, while recreation planning will be added to the infrastructure strategy and project delivery teams.

The new buildings and facilities unit will run Pelican Park and Crib Point aquatic centres, Civic Reserve and Somerville recreation centres, Mt Martha Golf Course and Hastings Hub; foreshore camping and commu-nity halls.

CEO details shire shake-up, jobs


MORNINGTON Peninsula Greens have donated money to Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s Walk for Autism.

The $100 donation was handed to Mr Hunt, the federal environment minister, during his lunch break at Rye last Thursday along with a letter ask-ing him to “fi ght harder for additional support for people with autism”.

“We know you will receive this let-ter in the friendly spirit of community engagement and cross party support for which it was meant. We look for-ward to fi nd more common ground in the future.”

The MP is again walking 500km around his electorate for charity, this time to raise funds for peninsula-based Abacus Learning Centre, which pro-vides therapy for children with autism, and Amaze (Autism Victoria).

Previous walks in 2004, 2007 and 2011 raised money for diabetes re-search and autism.

He started at Arthurs Seat on 20 July and fi nishes at Cowes on Phillip Island on 7 August.

Mr Hunt is running his environment portfolio on the run, so to speak. Last Wednesday he was shown striding into the tourism information centre in Dromana to change from fl uoro walk-ing gear into a suit before fronting the media to criticise Labor’s clean energy target of 50 per cent by 2030.

Last Thursday, Greens peninsula convener Malcolm Brown congratu-lated Mr Hunt on his “commitment to and leadership of raising awareness of children dealing with Autism Spec-trum Disorder”.

“This group of people in our society deserve support to be the most produc-

tive citizens that they can become as well as lead fulfi lling lives,” he said.

“We believe that you could do more by: Reversing the cuts made to Autism Aspergers Advocacy Australia. Guaranteeing future funding for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Ensuring more funding for early in-tervention for children on the autism spectrum. Ensuring a needs-based school fund-ing system. Ensuring that students with high needs are specifi cally funded as a part of this system. Delivering on the fi fth and sixth years of ‘Gonski’ funding.”

Mr Hunt, speaking by phone while walking between Rye and Blairgowrie, and heading toward the 100km mark, told The News he and Senator Mitch Fifi eld had fought to get autism includ-ed in the NDIS, “a huge step forward from the previous government”.

“Lots of parents [of children with au-tism] said this was the most important thing to happen in Australia,” he said.

Thirty per cent of people taking part at NDIS trial sites have autism and 70 per cent of those were children aged between two and fi ve, he said.

Mr Hunt hopes to raise $25,000 for the two causes. Mike Hast

Talk about autismPARENTS caring for children with autism or a disability can attend a community meeting at Abacus Learning Cen-tre, Hastings, today (Tuesday 28 July).

The meeting is being held during the Hastings leg of Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s 19-day, 500km Walk for Autism.

Abacus Learning Centre is a not-for-profi t organisation that works with children who have autism and provides

early intervention therapy to help these children integrate into mainstream schools.

Mr Hunt said parents and carers at the meeting would be able to “openly discuss” issues faced by those caring for a child with a disability.

Money raised during Mr Hunt’s walk will go to the learning centre in Hastings and Amaze (Autism Victoria).

The meeting at the Abacus Learning Centre, 74 Victoria St, Hastings, starts at 6pm. For details call 5979 3188.

A SURVEY of peninsula horse own-ers has found that 100, picked at ran-dom, own 320 horses between them.

They told the Mornington Peninsula Horse Owners Association that they collectively spent about $12,800 a week on their horses – or a staggering $665,000 a year.

“Multiply that number of owners by 10 – which would probably well understate the correct number of pen-insula horse owners – and suddenly there are 3200 horses and expenditure becomes a very meaningful $6.65 million going into the local economy annually,” peninsula horse enthusiast Geraldine Chapman said.

She thinks the real fi gure may be higher.

Ms Chapman manages Mornington Peninsula Horse Owners on Face-book, which has more than 1800 members with two or three new members joining daily.

She said horse owners costs includ-ed vet and instructor’s bills, riding equipment, physiotherapy, transport, food, medicines, club memberships and registrations.

With a background working with the Australian Horse Industry Council and Victorian Horse Council, Ms Chapman said she was interested in fi nding out more about the local horse industry and, last year, conducted a 10-question survey of horse owners.

“The data gave us a window into the possible economic benefi ts of horse activities to the [Mornington Peninsula] shire,” she said.

“Further work needs to be done now to get a more accurate picture of the numbers of horses, people Equine economics: Tyabb horse lover Geraldine Chapman on Cub, a Clydesdale/standard bred.

involved and activities they take part in.”The snapshot information from the survey can be

found at the Horses on the Mornington Peninsula Facebook page.

“After the disastrous equine infl uenza outbreak of 2007 I realised there was no way to communicate with local horse owners as a group in the event of an emergency,” she told The News.

“In 2010 I saw that Facebook Groups had exactly what was needed to facilitate communication with local communities and I set up two other local horse owner groups.”

Later, realising the need for a centralised resource for horse riders and owners on the peninsula, she created peninsulahorse.com.au

The aim is to provide a foundation for horse own-ers, giving them information on welfare and care, as well as horse management, activities and laws relating to the keeping of horses.

“Many of the problems facing horse owners are self-made,” she said. “Owners may have a lack of knowledge about caring for their animals.

“Others complain about their interaction with trail riders or cars or the lack of signs on riding trails.”

The recently built Riding Trails on the Mornington Peninsula section of the peninsulahorse.com.au site, compiled by veteran peninsula All Trail Horse Rid-ing Association member Anne-Marie Alderson, has been popular, she said.

It features pages and maps detailing dedicated horse riding trails and details about what can be seen on the trail and the location of accessible fl oat parking sites.

Another feature of the site is a reporting system for horse accidents. “In 2014 a survey undertaken by the AHIC showed that 38 per cent of horse owners said they had experienced serious accidents involv-ing their horses in the past year,” Ms Chapman said.

“That made me curious about what was happen-ing in my own neck of the woods so I created a short survey that people can fi ll in if they have an accident.

“Over time I hope it will give us a picture of what is happening and help identify any trends or specifi c black spots that we can work towards making safer for everyone.”

West community was “very diverse” and agreed there was “a signifi cant portion who may consid-er themselves disadvantaged”.

“One of the key issues facing families on the Mornington Peninsula is the lack of long-term job prospects for our young people,” he said.

“This is an issue for all our communities and I am hopeful that future planning decisions from council will ensure that there are great opportuni-ties and future job security on the peninsula.

“I would like to see all our young people able to be trained and employed all year round on the peninsula without the need to travel or move to Melbourne. The expansion and consolidation of

our training, tourism, boating and visitor indus-tries will see these opportunities delivered over the next decade.”

Flinders MP Greg Hunt said there was “no doubt” certain parts of the Mornington Peninsula had signifi cant disadvantage and high unemploy-ment.

“We are working hard to combat this with a number of programs, including the Green Army, which provides certifi ed, skills-based training to 17-24 year olds and fosters relationships within the sector to assist these young people in gaining ongoing employment,” he said.

“The government is also providing assistance to young people through the Growing Jobs and Small Business Package, which includes meas-

ures to help job seekers. These include an $18 million National Work Experience Program to provide job seekers with work experience in busi-nesses for up to 25 hours a week for four weeks to improve their chances of fi nding a job.

Other measures include: A $1.2 billion wage subsidy pool so that more

job seekers are eligible for fl exible wage subsidy arrangements sooner, so employers are able to ac-cess wage subsidies earlier to help with the up-front costs of hiring and training;A $212 million Transition to Work service to

help young job seekers most at risk of long-term unemployment improve their chances of fi nding and keeping a job;$106 million for pilot programs to test inno-

vative approaches to helping young job seekers, such as those with a mental illness, parents, and young people from a refugee or migrant back-grounds, move from welfare to work.

“We are working hard to break the cycle of dis-advantage and encourage people, especially our younger job-seekers, to gain meaningful, ongoing employment,” Mr Hunt said.

A major theme of Dropping off the Edge 2015 was the consistency with which localities iden-tifi ed as “extremely disadvantaged” this year resembled those similarly ranked in earlier stud-ies. This is especially true of those in the two top ‘bands’ (12 most disadvantaged places) and was derived by a statistical tool that captures the indi-cators they share in common.

A PENINSULA-based email “clearing house” that distributed environmental and planning in-formation to about 200 members is set to fold.

Peninsula Exchange Inc – Pen-X for short – was started in 2006 by residents concerned about proposals for fi ve new helicopter landing pads on the peninsula, the Chateau Elan conference centre next to Greens Bush in Mornington Penin-sula National Park, and a big tourism complex at McLears Hill in Dromana.

(The chopper pads and Chateau Elan did not go ahead, although McLears Hill remains a live planning permit.)

There was also disillusionment with Morning-ton Peninsula Shire Council with claims made at the group’s fi rst meeting in May 2006 that the council was a secret society, shire executives made decisions without input from councillors, and planning decisions were made with “limited opportunity for discussion between council and the public”.

The original idea was to form a “super” envi-ronment group but this morphed into the email service only. It cost nothing to join and was sup-ported by donations.

Individuals or groups could send their informa-tion to Pen-X’s secretary and it was checked and forwarded to a list of people that included envi-ronmentalists, several shire councillors, shire of-fi cers, MPs, developers, journalists and others, with everyone keeping an eye on everyone else.

The group was originally to be named Protect Our Peninsula but this had been registered so Peninsula Exchange was chosen.

Pen-X avoided party politics although groups were able to send out political information that related to environmental and planning issues.

The group did not provide advice on planning issues and did not get involved in council elec-

Helicopters sparked ‘green’ email groupSave our peninsulaPLANNING and environmental activists as well as “ordinary” citizens gathered at a home in Cape Schanck for the fi rst meeting in May 2006 of what became Peninsula Exchange.

A second meeting was held the following month at the Red Hill home of Colin Youren, a Hawthorn Football Club legend who was a member of the fi rst premiership team of 1961. His beef was the Chateau Elan proposal.

All attendees were concerned about threats to the natural environment.

Groups represented included some now disbanded and some still active – Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council, Defenders of the Green Wedge, Devilbend Foundation, Safety Beach Foreshore Alliance, Tyabb Ratepayers Association, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, Friends of Harrop Creek, Blue Wedge Coalition, and Mornington Environment Association.

Long-time environmentalists at the meeting included Brian Cuming, Rosemary West, Jim Kerin, Max Anderson, Jan Oliver, Tom McCullough, Gary Howard, Alison Coates, Norm McKinlay, Jenny Warfe, Christine Haydon and Louis Delacretaz.

Groups represented at Pen-X annual meetings in recent years included Peninsula Speaks, Kangerong Action Group, McCrae Action Group, Red Hill Community Action, and Mt Eliza Woodland Residents Association.

Leaders of Pen-X for years were Ted Crawford (president), Leonie Anderson (secretary) and Jan Oliver (treasurer).

tions although there was an incident last year during the lead-up to the byelection for Red Hill Ward when an email supporting some candidates was sent to the list, and later criticised.

The email service was an early version of what is now achieved by social media sites like Face-book and Twitter, and it is social media that has caused the demise of Pen-X, according to presi-dent Peter Avery.

In an email to members last week, Mr Avery, also a member of community lobby group Penin-sula Speaks, stated “at the AGM held on 12 June, a unanimous decision was made to wind up Pen-insula Exchange Inc”.

He stated this was due to fewer emails being received, “ongoing decline in membership, and recognition that social media has taken over ... information dissemination”.

Mr Avery said the decision had “the blessing of founder Ted Crawford who understands [that] Pen-X is no longer as relevant as when fi rst established”.

Members will vote electronically next month. They will be given the option of joining the Pen-insula Speaks email list.

A co-convenor of the fi rst meeting, Jim Kerin, told The News the need for a peak environment body on the peninsula was greater than ever be-fore. “As was said at that 2006 meeting, it is vi-tal to have community action groups to interact with government and gain experience that can be passed to other groups and individuals facing new planning and conservation challenges,” he said.

“Developmental and tourism pressures on the peninsula will continue to increase, and residents must stand up and push authorities to strike the right balance.”

Pad protest: Pen X was originally formed to fi ght proposals for fi ve helicopter landing pads across the Mornington Peninsula but quickly morphed into a more wide-ranging activist group. The group was against the increased use of private and commercial helicopters, not those used by emergency services or the police, as pictured.

Necklace, cash stolenTHIEVES stole a distinctive gold necklace, right, from a woman who was asleep in a house in Merlebah Court, Hastings, in the early hours of Wednes-day 15 July.

They took the woman’s handbag con-taining cash and an 18ct gold necklace from the kitchen before scattering the contents around the backyard.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Senior Constable Nick Sweetman, of Hastings CIU, on 5970 7854.

BURGLARS dropped their haul after being disturbed while robbing a Point Leo house at 10.40pm on Tuesday 21 July.

Police said the thieves attempted to steal cash and mobile phones the house soon after the oc-cupants had gone to bed but ran off, dropping the stolen items close by, when disturbed.

Residents are asked to make sure they lock the doors of their houses and cars to deter thieves.

“It is as simple as this: if you lock the doors to your house and cars at night and when not home then you will not become a victim,” Detective Senior Constable Nick Sweetman, of Hastings CIU, said.

“The crooks will just go next door because they know that the house or cars or both will be left open.”

Surprised thieves drop and run

BALNARRING pre-school pupils will benefi t from a $2000 grant towards their outdoors classes. The pre-school is one of three early learning centres in Australia to receive money from Australian Scholarships Group this year.

It will be used to buy weatherproof clothing for the children to wear at the beach.

Educational leader Karen Anderson said the pre-school’s Living and Learning with Nature philosophy required the children to be at the beach, bush and local wetlands in rain, hail or shine.

“The four year-olds access the beach once a week for three-fi ve hours and, this year, we have 90 children participating, which is really stretch-ing our resources,” she said.

“The grant money will help us buy more wa-terproof clothing, such as bib-and-brace overalls and coats, and have a few spares to replace the

old ones. “These outfi ts keep the children dry and warm

so they can enjoy learning in the outdoors. They are able to jump in puddles, play games with the waves, sit on the wet sand and grass and remain warm and comfortable while exploring and playing.”

Australian Scholarships Group CEO John Vel-egrinis said there was an overwhelming response for the grants. “I congratulate the recipients who demonstrated how the money would benefi t their children, while using fl air and creativity in their applications.

“This is another way ASG helps support children’s education, and this initiative ensures communities and families benefi t, too.”

The next round of applications for an ASG Local Community Program grant opens on 1 August.

DESPITE the appointment of receiv-ers, police investigations into alleged sexual assaults and back room nego-tiations to avoid action under civil law, devotees are again attending Saturday night assemblies at the former head-quarters of the Shiva School of Medi-tation and Yoga at Mt Eliza.

The Tower Rd property was not list-ed as being part of the organisation’s assets when liquidators Worrells Sol-vency & Forensic Accountants were appointed in April.

As well as facing the possible sale of three residential properties in streets near to the Tower Rd ashram, Shiva Yoga Inc is also the subject of possible action by lawyer Angela Sdrinis.

Another blow to the organisation may also come in the form of a reas-sessment of the tax free status it has enjoyed since being given the all clear by Australian Charities and Not-for-profi ts Commission (ACNC).

“Where there is evidence of serious mismanagement or misappropriation, a persistent or deliberate breach of the ACNC Act, or where vulnerable people or signifi cant charitable assets are at risk, the ACNC will act fi rmly and quickly,” a spokesperson for the ACNC said last week.

“Where appropriate the ACNC will revoke a charity’s status – taking away access to Commonwealth charity tax concessions, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Offi ce.”

Although unable to comment on specifi c cases, the spokesperson said

the revocation of tax-free status could be backdated to 3 December 2012.

Financial statements for the year ended June 2014 of the tax-exempt Shiva Yoga Inc show $1.38m has been spent improving the ashram building and lists Swami Shankarananda as hav-ing loaned the organisation $373,508.

The statements show “retained earn-ings” of $2.9m.

The ATO has granted Shiva Yoga Inc a tax concession, GST concession, FBT rebate and income tax exemption.

A former member of the ashram has previously told The News that when fi lling out an application form seek-

ing tax exemption “we all looked at each other when it came to fi lling out the marked religion, and then someone said Hindu, so that’s what we put”.

St Kilda lawyer Ms Sdrinis told The News last week that she had spoken with about 20 men and women for-mally associated with the ashram over “a variety of issues”, including alleged sexual impropriety by the school’s spiritual leader Russell Kruckman; un-paid wages; taxation issues; whether “people were volunteers or employ-ees”; donations; and donated works.

Ms Sdrinis said she was specifi cally dealing with allegations by several

women of sexual misconduct by Mr Kruckman, who is also known as Swa-mi Shankarananda and Swamiji.

“We are trying to settle out of court.”Allegations of sexual assault by Mr

Kruckman also continue to be inves-tigated by the Seaford-based SOCIT (Sexual Offences and Child Abuse In-vestigation Teams).

Ms Sdrinis said while she had not spoken with police “the liquidators have been good to deal with”.

In December 2014, Mr Kruckman and the school stunned ashram devo-tees by issuing statements which in effect admitted he had engaged in “se-

cret sexual relations with a number of women from the ashram community”.

The ensuing shockwaves led to a plummeting of the numbers attend-ing the Saturday night assemblies, or Satsangs, and Mr Kruckman standing down as the school’s spiritual leader.

The assemblies were moved private homes earlier this year, but are now being held at the Tower Rd ashram which is owned by Mr Kruckman and not Shiva Yoga Inc.

While up to 350 people would attend these weekly assemblies before the scandal broke in late 2014, it appears numbers are now down to about 70.

As previously reported by The News, liquidator Paul Burness said Shiva Yoga owned three properties near the ashram, two in Petrel Ave and one in Clarendon Close.

They are collectively valued at just under $3 million; one has a mortgage.

The most valuable property con-nected to the yoga school, the ashram in Tower Rd, is owned by Mr Kruck-man (Swami Shankarananda) and is not subject to the liquidation.

Mr Burness said Swami Shankarananda had placed caveats dated 22 April 2015 on the titles on one of Shiva Yoga’ Petrel Ave proper-ties and the one in Clarendon Close.

A further caveat had been lodged on the title of the Tower Rd property by Shiva Meditation Inc in 2005.

The News has been unable to contact the ashram for comment. An email sent to spokesman Stephen Stanford was answered by a Vani Hudson who said: “All enquiries regarding Shiva Yoga should be directed to [the liqui-dator] Paul Burness of Worrells”.

Temple sounds: Members of the Mt Eliza ashram, including leaders Russell Kruckman (also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji) and Devi Ma were at the Shiva Vishnu temple in Carrum Downs in June for chanting and a performance by Melbourne-based “spiritual/world” band Sky of the Heart.

PENINSULA Skin Cancer Centre’s Dr Sally Shaw is worked up about what she calls “the misrepresentation of melanoma in the news”, especially regarding the recent return to football of Hawthorn forward Jarryd Roug-head.

“Melanoma is not a cancer scare, it’s a cancer reality, and Roughead continues to be at high risk of ad-vanced melanoma,” she said. “The term cancer scare should be reserved for when a mole is thought to be melanoma but comes back benign.

“Having prominent sportsmen as Roughead, Jack Riewoldt, Tom Hafey and Jim Stynes all diagnosed with melanoma, yet having their condi-tions reported in the media as a brush with skin cancer, a skin cancer scare, cancer health scare or a cancer shock, is down playing the signifi cance of having a melanoma diagnosis and the continued risk of advanced disease.”

Dr Shaw has clinics in Frankston and Mornington, is a founding mem-ber of the Australasian College of Skin Cancer Medicine and has been instrumental in establishing standards for skin cancer practitioners through-out Australia.

“The diagnosis of melanoma, especially advanced melanomas, is watered down to a cancer scare or shock to make the news more palat-able for the public,” she said.

She believes that because mela-noma is associated with sun exposure, beaches and outdoor living, there is a fear that reporting it will tarnish the

iconic Australian way of life. “We are missing the opportunity to

bring up the seriousness of a mela-noma diagnosis, especially in young Australians and about the importance of protecting our skin from the sun.”

Melanoma is the most common cancer for 14-44 year olds, with one person dying from melanoma every six hours.

“A diagnosis of melanoma is a very serious result,” Dr Shaw said. “More than 1500 Australians die from mela-noma each year. While most mela-noma patients, around 80 per cent, will never have metastases, melanoma patients need to be vigilant for any

signs of advanced melanoma for the rest of their lives.

“They will need to have regular mole mapping or skin checks every few months for the fi rst couple of years and then every 12 months after that.”

Dr Shaw bemoaned “the reluctance of the media to report Hafey’s and Stynes’ advanced melanomas as non-specifi c cancers, which meant we missed a great opportunity to pass on the very important message of how dangerous melanoma can be to a large Australian sporting audience”.

“We should all have full body skin checks every year and protect our skin from UV all year round.”

THE state government is offering money for a new round of litter pre-vention projects in an attempt to clean up waterways, canals, drains, rivers and creeks feeding Port Phillip.

Environment Minister Lisa Neville announced the third round of Litter Hotspots funding last Thursday.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s waste group (Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Ma nage ment Group) won a $7000 grant in the fi rst round in 2013-14 and used it to run events encouraging people to reduce litter at three hotspots at Dro mana and Mornington (Mothers Beach and Mills Beach).

Ms Neville said the third round would “support local government, businesses and community part-nerships to implement a range of litter pre vention and clean-up projects to stop litter from entering stormwater drains and impacting the Port Phillip catchment”.

“The Litter Hotspots program encourages community action to tackle litter in local areas, preventing it from polluting our waterways, and helping make a cleaner, safer and more appealing environment for us all.”

Applications to Metropolitan Waste and Re source Recovery Group, of which the shire is now a part, close 31 August.

The small steps to reduce litter follow strong words about the state of Port Phillip from a scientist published in The News last month (“To preserve Port Phillip, Melbourne should learn

from Sydney”, 23/6/15).Professor Tim Flannery, who grew up

on Port Phillip and snorkelled between Sandringham and Mornington, wrote that he was shocked when he returned to Melbourne a few years ago and saw the state of the 2000 square kilometre waterway.

“In Sydney, residents would lay down their lives for the harbour. Thirty years ago it was as polluted as Port Phillip is now, but hard work and pride have restored it,” he wrote.

“The Andrews state government, elected last year, has pledged to get rid of the 50 worst level crossings in the state. What about cleaning up Port Phillip’s 50 worst barrel drains?

“Port Phillip’s margins have also been battered by inappropriate development. In Sydney, great swathes of harbour-side natural vegetation have been reserved, inappropriate infrastructure re moved, and commercial fi shing banned. As a result, fi sh stocks have recovered spectacularly.

“When I moved to Sydney the harbour and Port Phillip were pretty much equally blighted. But the people of Sydney have cared enough to make a difference. Surely Melburnians can, over time, do an equally good job with their waterway?” The state government is also offering grants to coastal Crown land committees of management to improve fences, boardwalks and stairs.

WHILE the mining boom subsides, Victoria’s answer is the Dining Boom. Victorian agribusinesses and produc-ers will gather at Lindenderry at Red Hill on July 30 to 31 for the 11th Victorian Agribusiness Summit to discuss how they can take advantage of the potential that both domestic and export markets offer producers.

The Summit dinner will welcome special guest, His Excellency Dr Has-san El Laithy, Ambassador for Egypt. Dr Laithy will speak about the future food requirements from Egypt and suggest how Australia and Egypt can work to achieve this. Regional produce, prepared by Lindenderry’s award winning Executive Chef, Mi-

chael Greenlaw will be central to The Dining Boom theme of the evening.

The summit program features Campbell Jeffrey, The Burchett Group, a 30 year veteran of doing agribusiness in China. Producers from the Mornington region feature throughout the day. Topics such as the potential to grow and impediments to growth will be considered throughout the day.

The Chair of the Victorian Agri-business Council, Clive Larkman, well known Victorian nurseryman said “The Victorian Agribusiness Summit has gained a reputation as the “must attend” networking event for regions throughout Victoria in the 11

years it has been held. This year we already have registrations from all over Victoria”.

Generous partnership support from the Mornington Peninsula Shire, regional and local agribusinesses and the ANZ will deliver a not to miss programme.

The Victorian Agribusiness Council Inc., a not for profi t organisation, has the role of supporting growing agri-businesses in regional areas through projects such as the Victorian Agri-business Summit and the “South East Asian Chefs on Tour” project and the Victorian Agribusiness Summit.

SOMERVILLE Garden Supplies owner Mark Fulton is a Devon Meadows resident who has been running the business for fi ve years.

“Although I took over the business in July fi ve years ago, I am the fourth generation of my family running a garden supplies business for 60 years between us,” he said.

Mr Fulton’s great grandfather and grandfather started the family traditional garden business by setting up Fultons in Hawthorn in 1954. Known for their green trucks including their old Chevrolet trucks

“My dad and his two brothers took that over about 30 years ago, and about 14 years ago they bought Oasis in Wantirna,” Mr Fulton said.

Nine years ago Dad and I set up Fulton’s Bayside in Cheltenham, and when Dad retired, I decided to buy Somerville Garden supplies.

The business is operated by Mark, two other full timers and two casual staff.

“My Dad tries to help out here and there when he can during his retirement years.”

Mr Fulton says there has been a noticeable growth in the business.

“Reality television shows, such as The Block

and Better Homes And Gardens inspire people to perform their own renovation or garden makeovers and are a huge factor in the business growth.”

The people who are into DIY renovations and garden makeovers are a large part of our busi-ness along with many local builders, plumbers and landscapers. Mark and his staff are more than willing to offer some advice on landscap-ing, paving and general gardening to help anyone with their transformations.

Somerville Garden Supplies sells the full range of good quality products at competitive prices for residential and commercial premises.

Mark brags that his premium soil mix is the best veggie mix on the peninsula.

The business operates seven days and deliv-ers everyday, delivering from Dandenong to Portsea.

Tradies are welcome to open a new account, applications can be picked up at the depot.

Somerville Garden Supplies is at 49 Grant Road, Somerville.

SERVICE YOUR CARAVAN FOR

YOUR HOLIDAYS

MANY people are preparing to go north for the winter and escape colder Victorian weather. It is a matter of getting everything in order and pre-paring the items to be included for your break.

The vehicle has to have a service and new tyres if needed but have you given the caravan its fair share of attention?

The tyres are okay, there is plenty of tread but how old are they?

The tyre experts say that any tyre older that 5-6 years should be replaced, regardless of the amount of tread left.

You will fi nd the manufacture date on the side of the tyre, usually embossed into it. This is in fact quite cheap insurance.

Have you recently checked your wheel bear-ings for suffi cient grease and wear as well as your brake linings for even wear and will they last for the distance you are travelling?

Most people don’t regard some of the roads as being any different in what they do to our caravans but dirt roads, no matter how slowly you travel, do more damage than a smooth bitu-men road. Bearings and brakes are not immune to dust, which acts as an abrasive on all caravan parts.

If you have not been north before, you will fi nd the red dust is able to fi nd its way into everything and that include all of the chassis

moving parts as well as all of the items in the front boot, around the fridge and any other area that has an outside vent.

If you have the need to cross water over the road that is more than 200mm (8 inches) deep, then at the next available opportunity check your bearings and brakes as they may have been affected, especially if the water crossing came immediately before travelling on a dirt road. Don’t leave it too long.

Some of the things you may need to consider, as well as the items you have decided to take, are: Extra 15 amp lead (some power points are

further away than you think) All leads must be tested and tagged at least

every 12 months Extra water hose and fi ttings Snatch strap and spare D shackles (in case

you need to be pulled out of a bog).Utow Caravans can service your caravan and

we are qualifi ed to test and tag your electrical appliances.

We also have a wide range of caravan acces-sories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville. Contact us on www.utowcaravans.com, email: [email protected] or phone 5978 0083.

MP talks the walkCongratulations to [Flinders MP and Environ-ment Minister] Greg Hunt for his innovative 500km walk around the Flinders electorate to raise awareness about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, at the same time, giving us the op-portunity to walk and talk with him.

It is a pleasure and somewhat of a surprise to be able to use the word "innovative" in reference to a member of the federal government, but there you go. Indeed, given other government minis-ters' performances recently, it's wonderful to see one who can walk and talk at the same time.

Unfortunately, Mr Hunt's genuine concern and positive actions in relation to ASD are in stark contrast to his government's record and con-tinuing efforts to de-fund health and education programs that are vital to address the real and ongoing challenges that people with disabilities face every day.

The government's support for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is at best half-hearted, and by any reasonable accounting the government has stripped about $80 billion from health and education budgets. This is unconscionable.

Mr Hunt invites us to walk and talk with him over the course of his two-week trek and we should take him up on the generous offer with enthusiasm. After all, although out of the offi ce, Mr Hunt is on duty; we are paying his wages and we won't even need to make an appoint-ment.

Who knows, just as he has raised our aware-ness of ASD, we may be able to raise his aware-ness of our deep concerns about the broad sweep of his government's policies, which seem almost on a daily basis to attack concepts of fairness, inclusion and support for the most vulnerable of our fellow citizens. And this is before we even engage with Mr Hunt on refugees, marriage equality, his ministerial responsibilities for en-vironmental matters, his almost laughable direct action program to address carbon emissions, hobbling the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (Mr Hunt, what is the problem with wind and solar energy?).

Unfortunately, the list goes on and on. I look forward to meeting up with Mr Hunt and I hope many others do, too. As we walk and talk with him it could seem a whole lot longer than 500km.

But keep walking, Greg. A helicopter would be out of the question. Greg Gilbert, Mt Eliza

Political ploy?Having a granddaughter with autism I applaud Flinders MP Greg Hunt on his little march, even though he spent a wad of taxpayer money on a four-colour postage size notifi cation of the event.

Having said that, I think that this is just another example of political hypocrisy. While marching for this good cause, Mr Hunt is also a kingpin policy maker in this governments’ poli-cies that are reducing funding to those with dis-abilities and those most in need of a safety net.

Add to that his “positive” views on local envi-ronmental issues and fast tracking open pit coal mines at the expense of our food supply and you pretty much have the moral fi bre of his political policies.

At a local level, where he has little infl u-ence on what happens, he goes all out for our environment but, at a national level where he can infl uence national policy, it seems he is at complete odds with his local political persona.

We might wonder if the march for autism is a political ploy to get votes rather than a commit-ment to a just cause.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Hopefully no stuntAlthough I think Greg Hunt’s 500km walk around the Flinders electorate to raise $25,000 for autism is a terrifi c cause but, as a business-man and taxpayer, I have a few questions.

Are taxpayers paying him for the 19-day dura-tion (not bad if he’s getting paid to burn calories and gain publicity) and for the marketing and promotional material? If so, what is the total cost to taxpayers?

Does the total cost exceed the expected raised benefi t and has this been, or should it have been, sanctioned by anyone other himself?

I sincerely hope that this genuine cause is close to Mr Hunt’s heart and not just an elabo-rate publicity stunt at taxpayers’ expense.

Darren Hercus, Safety Beach

Road questionsI see - and one could not escape it if one lives in the electorate of Flinders and is bombarded with Liberal party propaganda - that Flinders MP Greg Hunt is again endeavouring to raise money for the very deserving cause of caring for people with autism. One has to commend him for his initiative and effort.

But it would be of very much greater help for peo-ple with disabilities if the Abbott government and the states would fully fund the NDIS (National disability insurance scheme) in perpetuity.

This certainty would assist affl icted citizens who have been waiting for too long to be properly looked after. It also would give certainty to carers that their loved ones will be cared for into the future.

Of course when it comes to the environment portfo-lio our member for Flinders is responsible for, many questions need to be answered. For instance why is it OK to approve a coal mine in and near some of our nation’s best farmland? Or, why is it OK for the gov-ernment to constantly try and block the development of renewable energy production? Is it really OK to burn our native forests for “clean energy” production?

Here the Labor party is just as culpable because they are both voting for the reduction in our renew-able energy target (RET).

There are a few more issues that our minister “for” the environment needs to improve. But, of course, under the spell of the great Tony Abbott the fi ghter of windmills and same sex marriage, we may have to wait a few more months, until after the next federal election, to hopefully see some progress on these issues.

Meanwhile, it seems Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils have learned nothing from the dis-astrous development of Peninsula Link freeway. In its initial blind support for the most destructive proposal for this road, the shire got lumbered with two service centres on the watershed of the Moorooduc plain, even after it decided belatedly, they were not such a great idea.

I would say the same goes for the “green” ex-pansion of the Port of Hastings the mayor Cr Bev Colomb is spruiking. The inevitable huge amount of dredging required to accommodate such a port would surely not make this a “green” port development.

I wonder if the mayor is going to guarantee penin-sula people that the natural beauty and world heritage listing of our beautiful Western Port will be left unspoilt? Or that it would not affect the many tourist and recreational jobs in our region?

Of course it is of major concern if the Labor gov-ernment would think it would be a great coal port. Especially now that we should leave this stuff in the ground.

Would it not be a much better idea to promote new technological industries in alternative energy produc-tion like wind solar or wave power?

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Danish exampleA recent news item announced that Denmark had, on one day, reached over 100 per cent of its electricity

needs by wind generated power enabling the surplus to be sold to other countries. If Denmark can do this so can Australia.

How embarrassing it is for us to realise that the rest of the world leaders know that our prime minister does not like the look of wind turbines or the noises they make so is openly discouraging their construc-tion.

Dr Richard Denniss commenting in his excellent article in the July 2015 Monthly states that unless Australians “start calling out crap” and state that we should not worry about “what the markets think” but realise that the choices are political, not economic. “Indeed we might continue to believe that we need to double our coal exports in order to fund the fi ght against climate change”.

A large pile of discarded [Flinders Mp Greg] Hunt literature left by the mailbox users in the Balnarring post offi ce indicates that residents have no time for what the minister dishes out in his mail outs to justify his actions that I believe is destroying our environ-ment and support his economics.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Lost Liberal voteIn the article about shire councillors approving the resort expansion at Cape Schanck (“Green light for RACV resort”, The News, 21/7/15), Nepean MP Mar-tin Dixon (Liberal) was quoted saying “While I am sympathetic to residents’ concerns that were raised with my offi ce over recent months, the reality is that the proposal has been deemed by councillors, inde-pendent architects and council offi cers to satisfy the conditions and requirements of the planning scheme”.

I was astounded by his comments. As our rep-resentative, it is incumbent on him to support his constituents. I for one do not feel that he did this. In my opinion, he did not listen to our concerns but just gave lip service to our cause.

Remember, Mr Dixon, it was your political party that passed the amendment to the original incorporat-ed document that allowed such a large development without consulting any of the other stakeholders. Disgraceful.

Most of the resort opponents were not against the proposed expansion but were opposed to its scale – a 30-metre high, seven-level building in the middle of the green wedge zone.

As a lifelong Liberal Party supporter, Mr Dixon has now convinced me to cast a donkey vote as I cannot see any reason why I would vote for him and his party.

Also, it was disappointing that our ward councillor, Tim Wood, did not even attend the council meeting and vote. Paul A’Bell, Cape Schanck

Citizenship bidRecent surveys have shown that there are increasing numbers of expats living in Australia returning to their home countries, in particular the UK. But for one group, including a number of Mornington Pen-insula residents, Australia still retains a great appeal. BERIA (British Expats Retired In Australia), repre-

sents holders of the 410 retirement visa withdrawn in 2005, but hitherto available to over 55s seeking a fully self-funded retirement in Australia.

Now, having secured the support of Western Australian MP Ian Good-enough, the group is petitioning both houses of the Australian parliament to grant 410 visa holders permanent residence and a pathway to Australian citizenship once they have resided in Australia for 10 years. Mr Good-enough has announced his intention to introduce a private members bill in support of this.

The determined group of some 2000 people believe that having invested in Australia over the years through home ownership; payment of goods and services tax; purchase of private health insurance and contrib-uting to and engaging with their local communities in a variety of ways, Australian friends and neighbours overwhelmingly agree that permanent residence should be made available.

In addition to this, 410 visa holders are subject to periodic police and character checks in order to maintain their status.

Another anomaly for them is that their categorisation does not allow them to claim any reciprocal health care benefi ts from Australia, some-thing which is accessible to Austral-ian visitors to the UK as well as UK visitors to Australia.

The overall quality of life which I have enjoyed since coming here means that I have no regrets whatso-ever. Yes Australia has changed but, as I know from visits to the UK, so has life over there.

I have contacted the MP for Dunk-ley Bruce Billson for support but his response was non-committal.

For more information and to sign the online petition to Senate, go to www.retirementvisa410.com and click “petitions”.

David Muggleton, Mornington

Pine protestCan anybody tell me what was achieved by a team of tree fellers with a very large excavator, a travel tower and a big chipper/mulcher who spent four weeks on Forest Drive, Mt Mar-tha, during May and June removing pine trees only and hindering traffi c. The saw logs from them are still beside the road and it is plain to see that none of these pines were diseased or dying.

No eucalypts or Australian natives were removed and there are many dead or dying trees left leaning dan-gerously towards the very busy road. The area has a bleak untidy look these now that trees are gone, particularly at the corner of Hearn Rd.

If this was a council-sanctioned op-eration I consider it to be a complete waste of ratepayers’ money.

Trevor Page, Mt Martha

Somers changeA wide concrete pathway the length and breadth of Somers will destroy our coastal village atmosphere.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has not given residents a proper opportunity to consider this scheme with its unfair payments from landowners.

Why did the shire not ask for our opinion fi rst instead of relying on a small survey carried out by the Som-ers Residents Association.- known to be pushing for the development?

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A call to all recruits for enlistmentA call to all recruits for enlistmentCompiled by Melissa Walsh

MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next,

***AS a donation to the Red Cross Fund (Lord Mayor’s List) we notice that Messrs Jas Paterson and Coy (of which Mr Hy Masterton of Frankston is Principal) has donated £100.

***FOR the month of June, the proceeds of the sale of Belgian Buttons, in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, amounted to £38 16s. This amount in-cludes £6 8s for buttons sold by Miss Broomhead.

***MADAME Melba’s concert, in the Melbourne Town Hall, on Thursday evening, in aid of Lady Stanley’s Red Cross Fund for sick and wounded Australians soldiers was a magnifi cent success and realised £3000, making a total of £30,000 raised by Madame Melba in aid of patriotic funds.

***ON Wednesday next, being the fi rst anniversary of the declaration of war by Great Britain, there will be a cel-ebration of Holy Communion at St Paul’s Church, Frankston at 7 45 am. and a special service of Intercession from 7.30 to 7.55 in the evening, be-fore the meeting in the Mechanics’.

***A cheque for £7 18s 6d was remit- ted from Langwarrin, this week, to the ‘Lady Stanley’ Fund for wounded, or sick, returned Australian soldiers.

This is a very satisfactory start, and with such a good working Committee and energetic secretary, it is expected that each month’s work will show equally satisfactory results.

***MRS Moloney notifi es in our advertising columns that she has purchased the hotel business lately carried on by Mr W. Schultz, at the Pier Hotel, Frankston. Mrs Maloney has had long experience in the hotel keeping busi-ness in West Australia, and she intends to fully keep up the good reputation gained by the former proprietor in ca-tering for the comfort of her patrons. She is having the premises thoroughly renovated and refurnished,and will have everything in applepie order by the time that the usual infl ux of sum-mer visitors arrive.

***A pleasant surprise was afforded S. M. Durham, Garrison Sergeant Major Prisoners of War Depot, Langwar-rin, when the members of the Guard force gathered to give him a social evening and present him with a new riding equipment, in the form of a new saddle, bridle, whip, and spurs. It was a tribute of the warm appreciation and respect which the guard bear for their instructor. Sergeant Major Durham is some-thing more than a popular man. He is a strong man in every way. An early riser, lover of classics, keen observer and vigorous thinker. He has given the guard the wealth of his experience of 21 years service for the Empire, in Britain, Asia and Africa, with a good

conduct medal and a pension. He recently retired from the Imperial Army and at the urgent request of the Defence Department he entered the Victorian service. He was specially selected by Lieut Algie for the onerous position of Instructor to the Langwar-rin Guard.

***OVER thirty parcels of old linen for use as bandages and other Red Cross purposes were handed in at the Frankston Depot on Tuesday last. Var-ious other donations were received, to be used as the committee thought best. Linen sheet Miss Elliot, portable deck chair Mrs Clements, fi eld glasses Mr W. Gregory, cushion (Irish crochet) Mrs Membrey, cosy and cushion, Mrs Wilcox, 1 doz jug covers Mrs Gumme, cloth for slippers Mrs Ward, 12 yds military fl annel Mrs H. Garrood, pair. gold earrings Miss Gregory, packet knitting cotton Mrs Hartland. During the afternoon music was ren-dered by Mrs Mc’Cormack and Miss Gray. The Frankston Depot will in future be open on Wednesday after- noons from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Me-chanics’ Hall,

***MR Oscar Bailey announces that he will address the electors of the North Riding at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Saturday evening 14th August when he will give “his lucid exposition of a national and progres-sive policy.” Cr T. Ritchie after six years of mu-nicipal life, notifi es that he intends to retire from the council table when his

time expires next month. As a coun-cillor of the North Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, Cr Ritchie has devoted a deal of his time to the service of the ratepayers, and during his term as President of the Shire he fi lled the offi ce with credit to himself and the Shire. The ratepayers are los-ing a good servant, and his presence will be missed at the deliberations of the Council. In response to a requisition from a number of rate payers, Mr W. P. Ma-son has consented to allow himself to be nominated for the seat rendered vacant in the North Riding of the Frankston and Hastings Shire by the retirement of Cr Ritchie. Mr Mason takes an active interest in the welfare of the district, in which he has resided for many years, and, if elected, should make a useful member. For the Centre Riding the retiring member is Cr Griffeth, and for the East Riding Cr Watt. The following gentle-men retire in the Flinders Shire:—East Riding, Cr J. Davis, Central Riding, Cr A V Shaw ; West Riding, Cr D M’Farlan; In the Mornington Shire the retiring members are:—Crs J. Male, G. Flood, and J. D. Grover.

***ONCE more, in “Life” for August, Dr Fitchett gives us a wonderful review of the fi ghting of the month in Eu-rope, and on the Sea. In the course of one section of this review Dr Fitchett frankly admits that the month has been one of disappointments. In his usual vigorous and picturesque style Dr Fitchett then outlines the fi ghting of

the month on both fronts and in Gal-lipoli. Having done so, he proceeds to point out the bright spots in the land-scape and to analyse the disappoint-ments. The result is that he shows us very clearly that in reality the balance during the month has tipped in the Al-lies’ favour. It is a practical and heartening pro-nouncement that gives the reader a wonderful clear-eyed view of the war. Readers of the August issue of “Life” will notice that the Editor is by no means devoting his entire space on the war; on the contrary, we fi nd such il-lustrated articles as “Morrissey of the Snakes” illustrated with some remark-able photographs, and telling some of the adventures of that widely known character, who says of himself: “I reckon I’m the chap that they wrote the proverb about that ‘a rollin’ stone gathers no moss.’”

***RECRUITS WANTEDEvery man physically fi t is wanted. Conditions of enlistment- Age—18 to 45 years. Minimum height—5 feet 2 inches. Chest measurement— 33 inch-es. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot, where arrangements will be made for medical examination. Persons who are considered suitable will be granted free railway tickets to the Metropolis for fi nal medical ex-amination and enlistment.

that they like him, but they like winning even better, and Malcolm will surely get the vote in prefer-ence to Billy Boy Shorten. Is Mal-colm still best mates with Godwin Grech?

***Collingwood’s season 2015 has bit-ten the proverbial so I now concen-trate on barracking for the teams playing the teams I hate, and if I hate both of them I win either way; unless it’s Hawthorn.

***Welcome to VicRoads, speed limits and roundabouts our specialty; always more, never less...A two page feature in The Age (recipe for health and happiness); two pages

of nonsense...The shipping industry (Greece’s biggest) is tax exempt?...Have WE won the ashes yet?...Not that I miss him, but where is Rove McManus?...Leigh Sales; tough on Labor, soft on Malcolm Turnbull?...“Every man hath a good and a bad angel attending on him in particular, all his life long. Hatred hath an end, envy never ceaseth. Ambitious men may not cease, but as a dog in a wheel, a bird in a cage, or a squirrel in a chain they climb and climb still, with much labour, but never make an end, never at the top” [Robert Burton]...hooroo...cliffi [email protected]

The “them and us” predicament, re-gurgitated courtesy of Madam Bron-wyn’s fl ight to Geelong, surely over-charged at $5,227, never forgetting honest Joe’s living away from home allowance. Being a Collingwood supporter I’ve lived with it close to a lifetime. Why the Coalition gets the votes; concluding half of them are brainwashed Herald Sun readers? Surely they realise Tony’s mob are for big business and high income earn-ers? Treasurer Joe Hockey, Minister for Orchestrated Misinformation, is talking tax reform yet Godfather Tony has ruled out changing arrangements for superannuation and negative gear-ing? Along comes a 15 per cent GST proposition, seemingly from the states but likely orchestrated from Canberra together with softeners “compensa-tion for low income households and pensioners”? “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

***Deeply remorseful; the criminals’ code. I’m a lifetime veteran of feeling deeply remorseful. We live in a brave new world where even footballers (Sam Mitchell, kneeing and Joel Selwood, chicken wing tackle) take up the cause, and apologise? “Sorry”? The question is do they mean it? The second question is “who cares?”. Generally we all know when we have done wrong. We can soften it to some extent by promising inwardly to mend our ways, and (if it’s a bad one; there’s always bad ones) we live the life hoping to never being found out. Due to my age I can probably tell one or two bad ones (a minor benefi t of old age), but I shall refrain; ASIO might be tuning in. “Them” will surely soften their guilt in old age but it will never fade away completely.

***

Gambling is an acquired disease and should be treated with caution, ever wary of the trap, that next step; the addicted gambler who bets to lose, playing on till zero. I’ve witnessed it more times than I can count. If you’re not one of those be aware of it, in control, to offset the danger. You can’t win obviously when the various forms take a percentage out of each dollar. You conveniently ignore this; your form of enter-tainment, pleasure; no argument. Winning can give the player a sense of superiority, a euphoric feeling multiplied ten times the other way if you lose your shirt, which I did more than once in my 20s. More importantly (for limit gamblers) if you’re winning $400 do you play on and risk losing the lot on the chance of a winning streak? That’s the mistake. The pleasure gambler has the strength to walk away. The limit gambler should then apply his/her limit the other way; reset your limit thus leaving with a profi t. If it’s $100, walk away with $300. My advice, which will be ignored: set a limit, if not each time, at least weekly. Pleasure, like sex, requires a form of control, more in gambling than most of life’s other pleasures. And cut out salt (this column ex-cepted). With apologies to my RSL. [Dare I say it? You cannot lose if you do not play].

***COTA, the council on the aging, is having a “Let’s talk about sex con-ference” on the 8th and 9th Septem-ber. The subject of older people and sexual intimacy with speakers Ita Buttrose, Kaz Cooke, Adele Horan and Catherine Barrett. No male speakers? Apparently their right to a satisfying and fulfi lling sex life with

no provision in aged care planning. I quite like the idea of talking about it; from memory.

***Tony’s mob is up in arms over work-ers being short-changed? Gleaned from the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and/or the inquisition of Billy Boy Shorten. This from the WorkChoices crowd and the 2014 budget? I liked the piece from Herald Sun noting “the vision of Shorten guzzling water seemed damaging”. (A strange set of values from News Limited; the evils of drinking a glass of water, but reasonable for Tony Abbott to stand in front of signs describing Julia Gillard as a “witch” and “Bob Brown’s bitch” together with his two darlings, Bronwyn Bishop and Sophie Mirabella?). The premise of this Royal Commission makes a mockery of fairness and the political process, costing almost as much as they spend on the total arts alloca-tion. More importantly the attack on Q&A, and by extension our ABC. Give it to News Limited and we are seriously threatened by brainwash-ing par excellence. [For the record I haven’t voted Labor in 30 years; equally, I haven’t voted Liberal].

***The Jolson Story (1946). Jolson (Larry Parkes) in the cinema watch-ing his fi rst Hollywood fi lm, hum-ming the song on the screen. The fellow behind taps him on the shoul-der saying “Jolson’s doing alright, mister”. To the Reclaim Australia crowd...“Tony’s doing alright, boys and girls”.

***If (or when?) the Liberals think Tony Abbott has gone too far they may welcome Malcolm Turnbull. Not

Mornington PeninsulaNews Group

By Stuart McCulloughI TAKE it all back; every last word. For years I have poured scorn on any-thing that looked like a boy band. I have derided their musical output and questioned their artistic integrity. I have dished out piping hot spoonfuls of opprobrium. I ridiculed the way they dressed, danced and the dreadful songs they sang. Not anymore. I have offi cially seen the light. For I am now convinced that these confected groups are the repositories of the true rock and roll spirit. This change of heart is not the result of a song or even a par-ticularly challenging dance manoeu-vre but is all thanks to one man, or boy, if you prefer. Namely, one James McElvar.

I’ll be the fi rst to admit that I’d nev-er heard of the boy band ‘Rewind’. I don’t own any of their albums, have never visited them at ‘Soundcloud’ and, if I’m being completely hon-est, wouldn’t recognize the group if I tripped over them down at the local fruit and veggie shop. But ‘Rewind’ is a real group and James McElvar is a member. More than a mere boy band, they are carriers of the torch that has been passed from one generation of rock and roll outlaws to the next.

The group was catching a fl ight from London to Glasgow. Young James was informed he had one more carry-on bag than he was allowed. His options were limited: he could either pay a forty-fi ve pound fee for the execrable crime of having excess baggage, or he could dispose of his bag altogether. James, however, saw a third option. Young McElvar was not about to be pushed around by the powers that be –

that’s not what rock and roll is about. Instead, like generations of musicians before him, he decided to stick it to the man.

Rather than abandon his surplus suitcase, James decided to wear the

entire contents. This meant donning six t-shirts, four jumpers, two jackets, one pair of shorts, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging pants and two hats. It was the ultimate fashion state-ment, a statement that also said, ‘you

can try and charge me forty fi ve quid, but you can never tame the music.’ But as stylish as it was, it signifi cantly im-peded young James’s attempts to walk to the aircraft. Things only got worse once he was on board.

In the event that you decided to dress up like the Michelin Man, fair warning: you may experience diffi -culties putting your seatbelt on. Not only was James unable to comply with even the most straightforward requirements of the in-fl ight safety demonstration, he started to overheat. By ‘overheat’, we’re not talking about the occasional droplet of sweat but the kind of meltdown you normally ex-pect to see when the Wicked Witch of the West gets drenched. The boy was positively melting.

Airline cabin crew are prepared for almost anything, including overheat-ing boy band members. Responding to the urgent situation, the crew took off the extraneous clothing – a process which must have felt like peeling an onion or a gigantic boy band version of ‘pass the parcel’ - and laid the stricken passenger down on a row of seats. But it was to no avail. James was violently ill and then fainted. Now that’s what I call rock and roll. The only thing he didn’t do was kick over an amplifi er and toss a pair of drum sticks into the audience.

There’s not nearly enough of this kind of thing these days. It used to be that acts of rock and roll defi ance were reported on a daily basis. I can still re-call the furor surrounding the refusal of Jimi Hendrix to touch off the number 67 tram to Carnegie. And the time Pig Pen from the Grateful Dead failed to

cast his vote in the Stonnington Coun-cil Elections, to say nothing of the day that Jim Morrison ‘forgot’ to say thank you after a particularly tricky merge onto the Monash from the Warrigal Road on-ramp. I had thought we were never going to see such brazen acts of rock and roll debauchery again. I am happy to be proved wrong.

In a way, James has reminded us all of time when rock music meant some-thing. His actions in trying to dodge an excess baggage fee recall an era when the music of youth was about non-conformity and rebellion. My hope is that it doesn’t end here. Perhaps other musicians will be inspired by this sim-ple but lonely act of insurrection and will fi nd their own way to stick it to the man. I look forward to the day when Taylor Swift refuses to offer her bags for inspection and Harry from One Direction takes the ticket he got for overstaying his welcome in a two hour parking spot and sets it on fi re, Hendrix style, before kicking over a postbox to make his point.

Clothes maketh the man. In this case, clothes maketh the man feel very, very ill. Luckily for all, James McElvar has recovered but I hope he’s learned something. No doubt he’s received plenty of criticism for his actions. This misses the point. Before news of this event, I’d never even heard of James or his band, Rewind. In fact, I am yet to hear a lick of their music. In that sense, I think James may well have achieved more than he set out to. For me, I can only say that I am looking forward to the next exciting rock and roll adventure from James. Rock on.

Storm in a Teacup is one of Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s major exhibi-tions for 2015. The exhibition refl ects upon tea drinking in Australia. Beginning with well-known paintings of the afternoon tea table from E. Phillips Fox and Arthur Stree-ton, the exhibition goes on to explore the darker side of tea drinking and the social and environmental impacts of the humble cup of tea. Michael Cook’s Object (table), 2015, provides an alternative history to the narrative of colonialism while Sharon West and Adam Hill both use humour to subvert colonial understandings of the afternoon tea party as an occasion of refi ned gentility.

Storm in a Teacup features paintings, works on paper, photographs, ceramics, sculp-ture and installation by 34 artists, includ-ing Charles Blackman, Julia deVille, Julie Dowling, E. Phillips Fox, Rosalie Gascoigne, Adam Hill, Danie Mellor, Darren Siwes and Anne Zahalka.

A range of special events accompany the exhibition, including After Noon, Sunday 26 July, 2pm-5pm, adults $4, concession $2, discover how artists Samantha Everton, Penny Byrne and Clare Humphries have ex-plored the afternoon tea party, and the Fly-ing Bookworm Theatre Company presents a pantomime for 5-10 year olds on Saturday 26 September, 10.30am-12.30pm, children $15, adults $5.

The Gallery’s self-serve café has been transformed into a 19th century tea ex-change. Enjoy a range of Mornington-based Bespoke Tea and scones, jam and cream available 11am-4pm on Sundays.

STORM IN A TEACUP

A Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition – 24 July – 27 September 2015

Rob Papp wooed diners at eighteen 78 @ Brooklands in Tanti Ave, Mornington recently when he was their featured artist in Come Dine with Me A La Carte dinner during the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. All guests were greeted with a complimentary glass of Champagne on arrival, which set the mood for the quality jazz being played.

His ensemble aptly named Rob Papp and The Manhattan Trio comprised of Dale fi nch on double bass, Peter Cottier on drums and Papp on Gibson L5 guitar. Their intelligent rendition of modern jazz-fusion with overtones of funk was smooth, dry and simply…cool.

Papp’s versatility and innovative musical prowess sets standards and it’s no wonder he is well loved and respected by fellow musicians and fans alike. He started playing at age 15 in his father’s jazz band then cut his teeth on rock and roll and continued to play just about everything else afterwards.

A singer-songwriter in his own right, Papp has gigged in numerous bands, duos, gone solo, as well as been a recording artist.

To quote from his bio: “Rob’s career was infl uenced from a very young age by College of the Arts founder Bruce Clarke who tutored Rob in a comprehensive education of reading, writing and playing music, and took him on as a protégé, teaching him all he knew about playing jazz”.

Papp left for America in his earlier years to study at Guitar Institute of Technology in LA where he met and learnt from musical greats like Joe Pass, Tommy Tedesco, Howard Roberts, Jo Pass, Ike Izzacs, Bruce Clarke, Pat Martino, Steve Vi, and Robben Ford, geniuses in their own right and gained invaluable musical and technical experiences whilst living there amongst it all.

So impressive is Papp’s unassuming biography and personality that not many realize he established Blue Note College of Music in Well St, Frankston way back in 1988. This college helps so many musical hopefuls gain knowledge, confi dence and invaluable experience to go out and passionately perform. Brendan Meyers now runs the college and has done so for the past six years, who incidentally with Ross Clark, affectionately known as Rossco started the Peninsula Blues Club held on the second Sunday of each month at the Frankston Bowling Club. Peninsula Blues Club attracts big name artists and is a must see each month.

Papp’s repertoire is vast. He’s played at Crown Casino, The Melbourne and Sydney Art Centres, Melbourne Club and The Entertainment Centre, just to name a few.

Currently Papp’s main band is Blueshead,

which sees him gigging all over Melbourne and NSW. However, the night I caught up with him in his Manhattan Trio outfi t saw his broad jazz, blues, and rock spectrum shine through in the style of jazz he was playing.

There’s no doubt Papp loses himself while playing. With eyes closed he’s riding his muse and you get the feeling this guy knows what’s going on, and knows it’s happening around him.

Cottier’s use of brushes instead of sticks in most of the songs and Finch’s intuitive bass, which incidentally is the distinguishing sound of a guitar trio in fusion jazz works in concert with Papp’s lead. The guys ebb and fl ow, as each knows instinctively when to allow the other to lead or go solo within the structure of the songs.

Jazz is often played to an arrangement but with allowances of improvisation within the framework of the song.

Cottier is no stranger to jazz either. He’s been the resident drummer in the Cerberus Navy Big Band for years and played in Top 40 cover bands and an Irish band.

The same is said for Finch whose expertise on the double bass initiates that popular modern jazz-fusion sound we all recognize when heard. The guys incorporated their jazz bent with funk overtones on some cool tunes from George Benson, Eddy Harris, Miles Davis and Leon Russell.

Putting one’s own experiences into the framework of a jazz song is a noticeable thing amongst jazz players and the boys were no exception to this.

As Papp explained: “Knowing the framework of a song and understanding western harmonies and mathematics enables one to play rhythmically off ideas developed in

each tune as its being played. So you can either stay close to the melody or can go right out there. The span of what we want to do, and as a guitar trio sets our parameters rhythmically as we are not stuck to it like a blues or covers band for example, where you have to just play the tune.”

Of late Papp’s been writing his own instrumentals in jazz fusion style as well as writing roots and blues based tunes with tendencies towards western harmonies.

“My reference points are everyone from Louis Armstrong, McCoy Tyner to John McLaughlin, and in the styles of improv, I emulate them within my playing of that tune. So I might take on the voice of one of them but be more out there, play the melody, put in the chords, and think ‘what would the likes of say, McCoy Tyner do with this tune as he plays his keyboard’, so I think like that. Then I don’t care what these guys do,” he says cheekily while nodding his head towards Cottier and Finch, who chorus “We just fi t in”.

Papp isn’t into planning his shows as everything is different and depends on the venue. With his preferred genre of blues and his open admittance of being addicted to it, it’s no wonder his originals are laced with strong tones of blues jazz and modern rock overtones.

Papp gigs everywhere on the peninsula, up town and all over. He is well sought after by most musicians due to his vast knowledge and experience and is a real pleasure to watch.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt GUY Stringer celebrated his 400th game against on Saturday with fi ve goals and a best on ground perfor-mance against Tyabb.

Stringer, suffering from a torn bicep which he carried into the milestone game, booted his fi rst of fi ve goals at the nine minute mark of the fi rst quar-ter.

He dominated at centre half forward while fellow forwards Myles Pitt and Leigh Poholke booted 10 and seven goals respectively.

Tyrren Head continued his sensa-tional season while Leigh Treeby ab-solutely ensured that he was at his best for Stringer’s big game.

Stringer will now miss the rest of the season after getting his bicep operated on this week.

As expected, Sorrento completely dominated the game, booting 12 goals in the fi rst half and 21 in the second hour. They beat Tyabb 33.18 (216) to 3.3 (21).

Trent Urquart in his fi rst game was the best of the Yabbies, while the ev-ergreen Scott Pickerskill, who would have played a lot of footy against Guy Stringer, was also vintage in his per-formance.

A top three fi nish is again a very realistic target for Hastings after it caused an upset and knocked over Somerville.

In the match of the round, the Blues jumped out of the blocks and led by 20 points at the fi rst change.

Despite an Eagles revival in the second quarter, the visitors booted 10 goals to fi ve in the second half to run out comfortable winners, 17.14 (116) to 11.10 (76).

The Eagles’ defensive side was chal-lenged by a four quarter effort on Sat-urday and it failed to respond.

The Blues however, were almost perfect. They were super impressive defensively fi rst and foremost and then were able to make the opposition pay on the attack.

Dale Alanis has been in super form this season and he was again with four goals, while Luke Clark and the elu-sive Steve Robb booted fi ve between them.

Matt Clifford was at his best, Paul Rogasch was unstoppable with two

goals and Josh Mulheron was the win-ner of the ruck battle.

Timmy McGenniss was Somer-ville’s best and together with Adrian Ridout booted three goals, while Todd Farrelly and Kane McKenzie worked hard in the back half.

Rosebud maintained its position on top of the ladder with a hard fought, low scoring game against Dromana.

The Buds had 14 scoring shots to six in the fi rst half but managed only an 18 point lead.

In the second half, the Buds booted 9.9 to 6.3 to fi nish the game 12.20 (92) to 7.9 (51). Thirty-two scoring shots to 16 didn’t tell the story of the day on the scoreboard.

Tom Baker booted another four for the Buds while Jack Jarman and Rhys

Bancroft were outstanding.Kieran Voekl, Matt Jones and Chris-

tian Ongarello were the best of the Tigers.

Rye, along with Rosebud, have moved a game clear of Somerville and Hastings on the ladder.

The Demons were too strong for Crib Point on Saturday, opening up a 21 point buffer in the fi rst quarter and going on to win by more than 10 goals, 16.18 (114) to 6.9 (45).

Andrew Dean and Adrian Gileno again worked well together up for-ward with four goals each while Ben Winters-Kerr was outstanding in his small, pressure forward role, booting three.

Kris Bardon was outstanding for the second week in a row and Daniel

Schwind was superb again in the ruck. ‘Schwindy’ has become a valuable tool for Rye coach Josh Moore and has made life tough for Rhett Sutton to get back into the team.

Daniel White, Kyle Arnott and Shayne Ainsworth were the best of the Magpies.

Devon Meadows were on show in the RPP Match of the Round on Sat-urday against Frankston Bombers and their response was a 14.16 (100) to 5.12 (42) demolition.

Troy Aust booted fi ve and Dylan Hand four goals for the Meadows while Jayden Sullivan and Billy Hayes were superb.

James Degenhardt and Matty Wind-sor were the best of the Bombers, along with Sam Drake and the ever-

consistent Jason Kingsbury.In the fi nal game, Red Hill stayed

in the fi nals hunt with a hard fought, come from behind 6.16 (52) to 6.5 (41) victory over Pearcedale.

Young gun defenders Luke Chan-dler and Jonah Siverson were out-standing once again for the Hillmen, while Daniel McNamara steered the ship in the back half.

The Panthers led by 11 points at quarter time and led by one and four points at half and three-quarter time.

Daniel Heijden worked hard for the visitors while Dylan Hoare and Ben Mitchell were also on top of their game.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt PINES has dropped to fi fth place on the ladder after losing a high quality game against Mornington at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday.

In a thrilling contest, the match was played in two halves. Pines booted 16 of its 18 goals in the fi rst and third quarters while Mornington booted 18 of its 20 goals in the second and fi nal terms.

Suffi ce to say that it was the wind that won on the day.

In the end though, despite playing away from home, the Doggies proved too strong, winning 20.11 (131) to 18.8 (116).

Mornington were 43 points down at quarter time and 35 points down at three quarter time.

Despite the strong wind advantage, to come back from these defi cits is not an easy task.

However the Dogs; through the likes of Jackson Calder with seven goals, Michael Gay’s dominance in the ruck and Joel Miller playing a best on ground game, were able to be an exception to the rule.

Pines were far from disgraced against a team that played in a grand fi nal last season. The Pythons had 11 goal kickers, Shaun White being the best of them with four majors. Adam Maling and Corey Ash were also out-standing performers for Pines.

Edithvale-Aspendale jumped Pines on the ladder and moved to fourth with a 18.17 (125) to 7.6 (48) victory over Karingal.

Mark Meehan booted six goals and Matt Kremmer and Brett O’Hanlon three each while Timmy Mannix was back and at his best.

Michael Burke was outstanding for the Bulls with three goals while Aaron Paxton was also outstanding.

Frankston YCW were hell bent on reversing the shock loss against Langwarrin earlier in the season and they did it with ease, winning 17.8 (120) to 6.10 (46).

David Bodley, Anthony Bruhn and Kyle Hutchison each booted three goals while Ben Credlin and Ash

Eames dominated.The Stonecats opened up the Kan-

gas with a six goal to three behind second quarter.

Gerard Brown booted three goals for the Kangas while Blake Harkness shone yet again. Liam Hogan and Rikki Johnston were also at their best of the home team.

Mt Eliza had 34 scoring shots to Seaford’s 12 on the weekend and won 14.20 (104) to 6.6 (42).

Sam Wettenhall booted four and Justin Van Unen three goals while Jimmy Clayton and Sam Gill contin-ued their splendid seasons.

Levi Hughes kicked three goals in his fi rst game for the Tigers while Matt Finn and Luke Smith carried the

can for much of the afternoon.Bonbeach had to wait for a last

quarter onslaught to break Chelsea in the battle of the neighbours.

In a see-sawing battle that saw Bonbeach in front by just one point at quarter time and two points at the main break and three quarter time, the home side booted 2.4 to two behinds in the last quarter to win 11.12 (78) to 9.7 (61).

Owen Hulett was on fi re again for the Sharks with four goals while Dy-lan Jones was infl uential in the ruck.

Chelsea coach Brent Guerra booted four for his side while Brad Clark was silky around the ground and Daine Taylor played arguably his best game.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard

By Toe Punt THE terms champion, superstar and legend are thrown around way too fl ippantly in footy circles.

A player does a couple of special things and he is a ‘superstar’. Kicks a bag of goals a couple of weeks in a row and he’s a ‘champion’.

Champion, superstar and legend are powerful terms in our great game – to be fair, there’s not a hell of a lot of them.

However, there’s at least one MP-NFL player who sits very comfort-ably across all three categories – Guy Stringer.

On the weekend against Tyabb, Guy Stringer became the fi rst player to reach the 400 game milestone.

In strange circumstances, it was his last game of the season too after he tore his bicep against Rosebud the week before.

He heads in for surgery this week and won’t be seen on the fi eld again in 2015.

However, he made it clear last week that he has no intention of his 400th being his last game.

“I’ll go on again next year,” Guy said.

“With the Nepean League draw the way it is, I feel like I’m playing Super Rules – one week on and one week off. My body feels fantastic and fresh and whilst it feels like this, I’ll con-tinue to play.”

Stringer said reaching milestones was never a consideration when he saddled-up each season.

“I play because I love the game. I love competing. I love winning. I love the people I meet and the friendships I make,” Stringer said.

“I have always said that I want to play as long as I possibly can. Whilst I’m healthy and can make a contribu-tion, I’ll keep playing. That’s the at-titude I have always had and I guess the by-product of that is playing a lot of games.”

As well as playing 400 clubs games, Stringer has also played Under 19s at St Kilda, spent three seasons at Frankston Dolphins, played in Dar-win, represented Victoria and has played 21 representative games for the MPNFL.

Together, he has played 459 senior games and 503 games all up at Under 19, Reserves and Senior level.

Those who have ever played with or against Stringer or had the privilege of watching him since he began in 1989, he uses his body as a battering ram. He never takes a sidewards step, fl ies for

every ball to mark or spoil, runs and carries like few others can and he al-ways has a team fi rst attitude.

However, regardless of the rigours of footy and the way he thrashes him-self around, Stringer’s longest stint on the sidelines was a three-week ham-string injury.

His worst injury was a fractured jaw, care of former St Kilda and Sandring-ham defender David Grant when he was playing for Frankston. Stringer missed just two weeks with that injury.

For those who know Guy, breaking the 400 game barrier and being the talk of the Peninsula for the past three weeks isn’t something that sits com-fortably with him.

“It’s a little uncomfortable for me to be honest. I play the game because I love the team aspect. It’s never been

about me and should never be about me.

“Don’t get me wrong, I really ap-preciated the accolades and the phone calls and the efforts people at the club have gone to but it is a little embar-rassing.”

I asked Guy all the customary ques-tions, which went something like this.

What’s been the highlight of your career?

“Defi nitely the premierships (six with Sorrento and one with Pines). You tend to appreciate the ones when you are older a hell of a lot more. I lost fi ve grand fi nals too so it certainly makes you appreciate the ones you win.

Your biggest infl uences?“Defi nitely my Mum Chloe and Dad

Keith. They were huge infl uences on

my career, Mum (who passed three years ago) especially. She would never miss a game. She saw all my representative games, all my junior games, the lot. Dad was there too all the way. In more recent times my wife Sally and kids Rushton, Archie, Olivia and Emmison. Sally has never had a problem with me training and playing footy. Sally has been sensational. Sor-rento Football Club is a family club, not a boys club. So it allows your en-tire family to be involved and share the experience.”

The best players you’ve played with?

“I’ve been blessed playing with the likes of Tim Allen, Paul Williams, Pat Foy, Brendan Long, Simon Goosey, Claude Samperi, Matty McKay, Paul Theobald, Joey Lane, Mark Berenger,

Damien Clark, Troy Shannon, Greg Doyle, Jack Marshall, Chris Garrett, Grant Johnson, Scott Cameron, Troy Scwarze – all outstanding players. Leigh Treeby and Anthony Agius I have a lot of respect for because they were consistent performers week-in-week-out and always perform well in important games.

Your hardest opponent?Simon Goosey. ‘Goose’ always kept

you on your toes and could do the im-possible. You could never get ‘Goose’ where you wanted him. He was a great player.

Unfortunately, with his bicep injury, we won’t get to see Stringer in another fi nals campaign.

Rest assured though at the age of ‘40 something’, he’ll be back out there again in 2016.

HASTINGS FNCBy Phil Stone, club presidentSATURDAY saw two neighbours from the Western Port side of the peninsula play out a classic fi nals type game in front of a good sized crowd.

An exciting game that had many turns saw the Hastings FNC win away from home by a solid margin, which now sets their season up for the run home.

This Saturday sees the club host Red Hill FNC in what should be another tough contest for our club. We are real-ly looking forward to facing off against the Hillmen in front of a big home crowd.

This Saturday is the President’s Luncheon supporting Brainwave Foun-dation with the boys wearing a spe-cially designed jumper for this game, with Special Guest Ex Footscray Leg-end John Schultz, 1960 Brownlow Medallist, 5 x Best & Fairest winner, plus Club Legend John Watson team of Century and recently inducted into the Hastings Football/Netball Hall of fame.

Seniors ReportSaturday was a big game for us as a football club it was an eight point game and was really a fi nal within the season.

Somerville was the form side of the comp; we were going to their home ground and anything other then a win was going to make it tough.

We played a great team brand of football and our pressure was fantastic. If we bring the right pressure to the contest we are a hard side to beat. Our handball receives were fantastic and we played a fast brand of football.

It is impossible to single players out because it was a great team effort.

As a coach I always try to sit back when all the dust settles and the words that are coming to my head are “proud, strong and committed”.

Reserves ReportOn Saturday we headed up the road to take on undefeated team Somerville and the boys didn’t disappoint in their efforts all day.

Jayred Elton started the game really well with his tap work and towering

pack marks a highlight. Jason Bradshaw was tackling and put-

ting his body on the line with some ag-gressive second and third efforts.

It was a very even game just before half time but Somerville got a couple of quick ones to get away.

After the break the boys came out and got on top winning the quarter and edg-ing that bit closer.

Into the last quarter the boys scored two goals early to be within ten points at the ten minute mark. Somerville seemed to break away again and kick a few more goals to put the win out of reach.

Fantastic effort by everyone that played. Your pressure and commitment at the ball was fi rst class.

Better players on the day Jason Brad-shaw, Jayred Elton, Mickey Cave, Chris Lehmann , Dylan Paarlberg.

Under 19’sSomerville were too strong for a gallant Hastings Under 19s.

The boys didn’t start well with a seven goal to one opening quarter.

Somerville carried that start through to the fi nal siren.

After half time though, Hastings

pressure and intensity lifted restricting Somerville’s scoring and they managed to kick a couple themselves.

Brennon Hassan gave a best on ground performance off the half-back, while Stephen Williams and Kyle Robb also had great games.

The boys have been showing some great signs in recent weeks. I don’t think a win is too far away.

NetballC grade coach Talia set the team some goals and she was very happy that they were achieved.

There was far more fi ght in the girls and they put together a good four quarter effort.

Courtney Astbury and Monique Boer played their fi rst game together in de-fence and were very strong providing the team with more opportunity to score.

B grade were a little undermanned but also battled the match out for all four quarters, never allowing Somerville to score without pressure. Well done to Alana for her best game for the season with very strong rebounding.

A grade came up against a very strong, tall Somerville side. Our fi rst quarter

was very strong with Taylah Strange and Pia Goodman teaming up well in defence.

Amy Goodacre was again very solid at the goaling end until a ball to the nose stopped her in her tracks in the last quar-ter giving her a blood nose and forcing her off the court. Bec Blackney stepped in to cover for her but I think it’s safe to say Amy’s goaling position is safe.

Red Hill at home this week and we are looking to improve our results from the fi rst round we played them.

***This Saturday sees Hastings Foot-

ball/Netball back at Home against Red Hill FNC. All games will be starting at 10am. We look forward to seeing a big crowd to support our teams please make the effort and get along.

Go Blues ( The Family Club)

CRIB POINT FNCBy Jared NewtonCRIB Point found themselves outclassed against a rampaging Rye outfi t as they went down by 69 points at Crib Point over the weekend. The Magpies continue to limp toward the end of the year as they never looked likely from the start.

The goalkicking power was not there as the Pies could only muster two goals in the opening three quar-

ters before putting a bit of respectabil-ity with four majors in the last.

It was a tough day at the offi ce for the seniors who battled on throughout the day despite the class gulf between the sides.

The upside was the debutant game of Zac Vines who showed enough to suggest he’s going to be a top player in years to come presenting all day up forward and managed to kick a goal with his fi rst kick in senior footy.

The ressies continued their Jekyll

and Hyde year with a solid fi rst half before completely capitulating in the second half throwing discipline and hard work out the window.

The result they ended up was the re-sult they deserved as they went down by 58 points.

Perhaps what was most disappoint-ing was the inroads made in previous weeks was undone in 40 minutes of football.

Sam Austin, Pete Coelli and Lee Koerner were best for the reserves

with Justin Bourke staking his claim on most improved for the side as he played his best game, coming on in leaps and bounds each week. Mitchell Davis was also handy across the wing for the reserves.

The under 19s bounced back in fi ne style with a 110 point win over Rye in the early game.

After a slow start with a solitary goal in the fi rst quarter the boys fi nally woke up and got used to the early blustery conditions to gel well

together and pile on 18 goals for the day.

Justin Rutherford changed it up for the boys keeping Tyler Wilton in the backline and trying to fi nd some other avenues should he need it at the busi-ness end of the year. Brendan Phillips kicked four, and Ethan Smith three in a best of ground performance which will surely see him as the next under 19 to be blooded in the seniors.
