Eddie scores another goal MORNINGTON student Eddie Swan scored plenty of goals on the basketball court and now he has scored them academically at an American university. The 19-year-old former Padua College student has been offered a full athletics scholarship to Eastern Wyoming College in the United States’ mid-west. The scholarship – to study law, sports science or communications – is valued at $150,000 over four years. Eddie completed Year 12 last year and played representative basketball for Mornington Breakers as a “small forward” – even though his height is 203cm (six feet eight inches). Height runs in the family: dad Phil is six feet six inches and mum Annie is five feet 11. She said her boy had “worked extremely hard” for the scholarship which was offered in April. Eddie said he had no hesitation in accepting: “I spoke to quite a few people about it. I liked the fit of the school and it would have been certainly hard to say no to a chance like this.” He will fly out on 20 August – thankfully into a late northern summer – and settle in with 2000 students at the campus founded in 1948 in the town of Torrington.

Shire to destroy wall of ire Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au LIFE should return to normal in Mt Martha after the shire confirmed in writing that it would remove a wall blocking access to a road reserve by today (Tuesday). The 1.7 metre structure blocks pedestrian access between Potts Lane and Grandview Terrace. It was erected in December by an adjoining property owner without council permission and has caused angst between neighbours. John and Carole Van Der Helm, of

Potts Lane, organised a petition opposing the wall with 50 signatures and presented it to the shire earlier this month. They were frustrated with the length of time the shire was taking to remove the steel and timber barrier, even though they were being told that it would soon be taken down. This followed their letter to the shire in March, which said: “After consultation with residents and advice from legal services we feel that council are not responding to the needs of the wider community and, therefore, request a written response as to the reasons

why our road is not open. Consider the prime issue: On 13 December 2014 a resident, apparently acting with council approval, constructs a wall across a council road reserve to the benefit of that resident and the detriment of the wider community. We can no longer use the road reserve as it now terminates and begins inside private property. “We request your response before the end of March 2015 as it is then our intention to move forward so as to seek a resolve [sic] via the Victorian Ombudsmen.”

Earlier this month, Ms Van Der Helm again wrote to the shire: “We were told the wall would be taken down two weeks ago. Yet nothing has been done. We feel that we are not getting anywhere. No one [from the council] is speaking with us.” That changed after their plight became public (“Call for wall to come down”, The News 7/7/15). The couple received a letter from the shire’s contract superintendent Mark Newnham last week, confirming that the barrier issue had been referred to the shire’s environment protection and commu-

nity safety unit. “The wall is scheduled for removal on or prior to 14 July. No further negotiations have been entered into with the relevant property owner,” Mr Newman said. Ms Van Der Helm told The News: “This is the first time we have received an actual date on the barrier’s removal. We’re glad we have it in writing so we know what’s going on – even though it has taken seven months.” Shire spokesperson Todd Trimble confirmed the decision. “I have been advised that it is the shire’s intention to have the wall removed as soon as possible.”

Political power on the line Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au VOTERS could be forgiven for thinking the state election campaign between the major parties has not ended eight months after the Andrews Labor government defeated the previous Napthine Coalition government to win power. Labor and Liberal politicians were out in force last week along the Frankston line pushing opposing messages about the separation of level crossings from roadways. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke joined Acting Premier James Merlino at the Overton Rd, Frankston crossing last Friday morning to blast the Liberals and Greens “who opposed getting rid of these level crossings once and for all”. A crowd of partisan protesters, many wearing Labor Party guernseys, waved placards criticising the Liberals and Greens for “standing in the way” of crossings removals. Several media releases issued last week by Labor also claimed: “Last month, Coalition and Greens MPs teamed up in Parliament to oppose the removal of these crossings.” As is often the case in politics, appearances can be deceptive. The Coalition and the Greens voted against the privatisation of the Port of Melbourne last month, not the removal of level crossings across Victoria’s rail network. The Liberals went to last year’s state election promising to remove 40 level

crossings but Labor is relying on the estimated $5 billion to pay for its pledge to remove 50 “dangerous and congested” level crossings by 2023 across the state with 20 planned to go within four years. Opposition leader Matthew Guy is not opposed to the privatisation of the Port of Melbourne but prefers a 30-40 year lease term, not a 50-year term plus 20-year option being proposed by Labor. The Coalition is also concerned about compensation that would be payable to the new Port of Melbourne owners if a second container port is built in Victoria. While Labor is playing politics with its claims that the Coalition voted against level crossings removals, Lib-

eral attacks on crossings grade separations not being started mere months after November’s state election are somewhat premature. Liberal MPs, including South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich and Mornington MP David Morris, last week criticised Labor for not having level crossings removal works “shovel ready” immediately after the state election. Labor is working its way through removing the 20 level crossings promised in its first term of government, a major infrastructure works undertaking, and it is hardly surprising visible work has not yet started at several sites considering the complex logistics involved. Tenders have been awarded for separation works to begin soon on the majority of the 20 level crossings to be urgently

removed and it will be all too apparent and visible to voters whether Labor keeps its election promise no matter what the Coalition claims to the contrary by the time the next state election, in 2018 at the latest, takes place. The campaigning around level crossings on the Frankston line, three years out from the next state election, shows that the marginal bayside seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh could once again ultimately hold the balance of power for the major parties to win or retain power. A long hard political campaign by both Labor and the Liberals in the region to convince voters they can be trusted to ease public transport congestion seems unavoidable with so much on the line for the parties.

Women cyclists A FUN activity called She Rides aims to help women on the Mornington Peninsula regain their cycling skills, improve their fitness and create a social network. She Rides was created after Cycling Australia found most women would ride more if they felt safer, more confident in their abilities and had an organised group to ride with. It is being offered for road and mountain bikes. “Life got in the way of my cycling hobby 10 years ago and I’ve only recently returned to it,” Mornington Peninsula She Rides leader Nicole Snyder said. “I know what it’s like to struggle to balance life, work and family with our leisurely pursuits, so I’m excited to show women that it is possible to have it all. I hope to bring women the same joy I felt when I got back on a bike.” The peninsula She Rides program is limited to nine participants and one leader. It has three tiers: For those looking to restart their riding after a long break; for those who have riding skills but are looking to ride for fitness and community reasons; and for those wanting a group riding experience to improve their fitness and riding skills.

FRANKSTON Council says its call for a container port at Hastings is based on economic benefits and concern for the environment. The mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said on Friday that the state government’s “commendable” plan to remove rail level crossings “should not come at the expense of the south east and in particular Frankston City”. Before the November 2014 state election Frankston was touting itself as the logical commercial hub for an expanded port at Hastings. But those dreams have faded with the Labor government planning to lease the Port of Melbourne along with a promise of no new competitive port for 50 years. Infrastructure Victoria will investigate whether a container port is eventually best built at Bay West, in north of Geelong in Port Phillip or Hastings. In the lead-up to the 2014 election Labor favoured Bay West. Cr Mayer said Frankston Council had written to all members of the Legislative Council urging them to block the government’s bill for a longterm lease of the Port of Melbourne. “A long-term lease will effectively kill off the Port of Hastings expansion for the foreseeable future, and that means killing off a major employment boost in our region,” she said. “In addition, if the Port of Melbourne remains our state’s only major port, further destructive dredging will be necessary at the Port Phillip Heads to cater for larger container ships, potentially having a serious impact on the Mornington Peninsula tourism industry.”

State and federal Liberal MPs have claimed the seabed at the Heads will need to be blasted to provide sufficient depth for larger ships. However, logistics experts from Victoria University who say the world’s largest ships will never come to Melbourne. Cr Mayer also makes no mention of the estimated 24 million cubic metres of dredging required in Western Port for a container port at Hastings. “Given the Mornington Peninsula region was recently voted one of the world’s top 20 destinations by National Geographic, anything that jeopardises our local environment would be grossly irresponsible,” Cr Mayer said. Following in the wake of the scaling down of the Port of Hastings Development Authority Cr Mayer said her council wants a resumption of the studies into the Port of Hastings. “… If blocking the legislation in the upper house is the best way of doing so then council supports this move,” Cr Mayer said.

Jetty Rd lights THE shire has put out to tender the installation of traffic lights at the T-intersection of Jetty Rd and McDowell St near Rosebud Primary School, one block inland from Point Nepean Rd. The work is expected to be done by October at the latest. A shire spokesman said there had been three “serious” crashes at the intersection, and one “injury” crash between 2007 and 2011. The shire has $307,000 from the federal government’s black spot program for the project but this is not necessarily the final cost.

Two on the move to beat arthritis

MOSAIC panels made by tenants of a Mt Martha women’s housing group will be unveiled tomorrow (Wednesday) by Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb. Earlier this year the housing group was awarded a grant by the shire to run an art project at the rooming house. Artist Amanda Foster consulted with the tenants and ran a 10-week mosaic workshop which produced two panels to be displayed in the front garden. The mosaics will be shown at community centres before being fixed to the house garden wall. “Due to the great response from the tenants we are in the process of creating an art studio in an unused area of the rooming house where tenants can use art as therapy, and also learn other ways to express themselves,” community housing worker Veronica Hunt said. The unveiling is at 11.30am 14 Tangerine Ct, Mt Martha.

Grant writing Darwin bound: Stan Proctor and Mike McKenzie are riding their bikes to Darwin to raise awareness and money for arthritis research. Picture: Meredith O’Shea

he was diagnosed with spondylitis, and since then his father Mike has been diagnosed with the same form of arthritis at age 64. Proctor also knows the pain of arthritis. A veteran of the squash court, he has it worst of all in his right wrist, but also in his hips and shoulders. “It’s been a learning exercise for me. I had not realised arthritis affects people right across every age range. It can be people as young as Bradley, and younger still, that suffer.” The fundamental message that Proc-

tor and McKenzie want to demonstrate is that once you have arthritis it is important to maintain as much movement as possible. As a result, their theme, supported by Arthritis Victoria, is the “make a move ride”. “However much you are able to move is going to be beneficial. Sometimes it’s really hard to start your joints moving. After a lay-off they can be very hard to start, but as much mild exercise that you can fit into your life is going to be hugely beneficial.” The two riders intend to use every

seventh day as a rest day and, like footballers, will be seeking out cold water pools to revive their muscles after each day’s riding at an average speed of around 26kkph. All going to plan, Proctor and McKenzie will be in Darwin on 25 October. For more about the ride visit makeamoveride.org.au. *First published in the July 2015 RoyalAuto, the RACV's member magazine.

A GRANT writing workshop will be hosted by Volunteering Mornington Peninsula to help people and organisations learn how to apply for grants. The free Effective Grant Writing Workshop will be held in two sessions: 12.30-4pm or 5.30-9pm, Thursday 23 July, at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Queen St, Mornington office. Sue Driscoll will guide participants through the grant submission process with tips on producing professional responses to grants and tenders, streamlining the process, seeking and working with partners to secure grants, and writing to meet set criteria.

By Ian Munro* AS he pedals out of Dimboola with three days’ cycling from Melbourne behind him, Stan Proctor will be just beginning to enjoy himself, which is just as well because his destination will be Darwin. His experience of long distance riding tells him that by the fourth day he will be riding for the pleasure of it. “It’s pretty tough for the first three days regardless of the preparation you do,” says Proctor, who has previously ridden from Melbourne to Sydney, and on 27 September will set out to ride to Darwin. “For the first three days your body is asking ‘why are you doing this?’ By the sixth day, when we got to Sydney, I could have kept on going at 150 kilometres a day, which is what we are going to do on the Darwin ride.” The first answer to the “why” of it is that, for Proctor, of Mornington, the 3750 kilometre ride over 30 days is “kind of like my Everest. I am closing on 65 so there’s not going to be too many more years I can take on a challenge like that”. But the bigger reason is that he is doing it to support his riding mate, fellow Mornington resident Mike McKenzie and his son Bradley, who have both been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory form of arthritis that attacks the joints of the spine. Riding to raise awareness about arthritis and funds for arthritis research projects will likely help to sustain them on the ride, says Proctor, a 47year RACV member. Bradley McKenzie was 28 when

Business grant helps migrant womenâ€™s enterprise An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

THE SisterWorks social support enterprise, which has a strong presence on the Mornington Peninsula, has received a $50,000 National Australia Bank grant for its Business Lab program. The program is tailored to the needs of migrant women setting up and growing their own start-up businesses. Joint founder and CEO Luz Restrepo lives on the peninsula. Her

enterprise helps migrants, refugees and asylum seeker women overcome barriers to be able to make a living and transition to their new life. This can lead to a meaningful job and income stream, and provide them with a sense of belonging, confidence and social interaction. There are also economic and job flow-on benefits for the community. Dunkley MP and Small Busi-

ness Minister Bruce Billson helped organise the NAB grant by explaining the importance of SisterWorks to the bankâ€™s strategic partnerships for small business manager Janett Egber. â€œWe host a number of local events, including a stall every Wednesday at the Main St market, with products made by our members. We encourage everyone to come along,â€?Ms Restrepo said. Visit sisterworks.org.au

Competitive insurance market yields savings THE shire saving almost $700,000 on its insurance for this financial year occurred due to a number of factors including a more competitive insurance sector. The News reported on 30 June that the savings came from putting its insurance out to tender rather than staying with MAV Insurance. The windfall was revealed when councillors approved the budget in late July and added 10 items totalling $600,000 after saving $690,230 on the estimated cost of insurance. The items included sealing a car park in Mornington, a contribution for an access road near Tyabb airfield, money for cliff stability at Safety Beach and cash for music, art, sport and a history project. But the saving was not all down to changing insurers. MAV president Cr Bill McArthur told The News the MAV Insurance quote provided to the shire for public liability and professional indemnity as well as fidelity insurance was â€œbelow $700,000, not $1.5 millionâ€?. â€œThis means it was impossible for the council to save $700,000 by choosing another insurance provider over the MAV,â€? he said. (Fidelity insurance is taken out by an employer against losses incurred through dishonesty by employees.) The shireâ€™s interim chief financial officer Matthew Hubbard said the budget estimate of $1.5 million (which excluded workers compensation) had been prepared some months earlier â€œon the basis of conversations held with the shireâ€™s insurance brokerâ€?. â€œThe discussions included an assumption about continuing with the same levels of cover, consid-

eration of the claims history over the preceding 12 months, the actual premiums paid for 2014-15 cover ($1.25 million) and expert opinion as to the likely percentage increases to be applied based on the brokerâ€™s projections about the market at the time,â€? he said. He said the classes of insurance considered included industrial special risks, public liability and professional indemnity, motor vehicles, councillorsâ€™ and officersâ€™ liability, and corporate travel. â€œThe shire had not received detailed quotations from the MAV or other providers at the time of exhibiting its draft budget. â€œBetween the time of preparing and aggregating those estimates and the adoption of the final budget, a supplementary insurance adviser was appointed to assist with conducting a comprehensive risk review. â€œAn open tender exercise (on behalf of the shire and a number of other councils) was undertaken, attracting bids from alternate underwriters.â€? Mr Hubbard said that during this time â€œconditions in the insurance underwriting market changed with some softening observed as well as increased appetite, and hence competition, for the local government sector by underwritersâ€?. â€œThe combination of these factors contributed to the significant savings achieved compared to the estimates for insurance premiums included in the proposed budget exhibited in April-May.â€? The shire has appointed AON as its principal insurance adviser and has cover with CGU, Lloyds of London, Chubb, QBE, Vero and Allianz. Mike Hast

Invited artists put works on show MT MARTHA artist Bill Caldwell has seven works in this yearâ€™s Twenty Melbourne Painters Societyâ€™s exhibition. The society â€“ membership by invitation only has held an exhibition each year since 1918. This will be the 13th year in a row that Caldwell has entered works in the exhibition. His entries - six oils and one pastel - range from a portrait of former Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Antonella Celi, which he entered in last yearâ€™s Archibald prize, to a seascape looking from McCrae towards Mt Martha and a still life pastel. Caldwell, above, is pictured with Sign of the Times which depicts a 100-year-old building at

Maldon, near Castlemaine in central Victoria. â€œI had it in mind [to do] for many years and, in fact, did a small version years and years ago,â€? he said. Caldwell, a member of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society for 13 years, says other members have been there up to 30 years. â€œMembers seek to uphold the highest standards of traditional art and their exhibition continues to attract several thousand visitors each year,â€? he said. This yearâ€™s exhibition runs Tuesday 14 JulySunday 2 August at the Glen Eira City Gallery, Glen Eira Rd, Caulfield. Details: www.jennypihanfineart.com.au

Story of survival: Refugee Abdi Aden will talk about his struggle to reach Australia.

Hard road to sanctuary STORIES of refugee courage and perseverance are often downplayed in the current political climate. Too often refugees and asylum seekers are dubbed as “queue jumpers” or brazen economic refugees simply looking for the best place to stash their cash. But cases of real hardship and persecution are not hard to find. Abdi Aden’s world fell apart when, at 13, Somalia’s vicious civil war hit Mogadishu. Separated from his family and effectively an orphan, he survived daily violence, death squads and starvation. Bravely, he set off in a group for Kenya but, of the 300 who left with him, only five reached their goal after a four-month trek. Abdi then managed to travel to Romania and Germany and, finally, aged 15, to Australia. He

had no English, no family or friends, no money and no home. Yet, he went on to complete postgraduate qualifications in adolescent mental health and was acknowledged with the 2007 Victorian Refugee Recognition Award. Abdi also featured in the SBS second series of Go Back to Where You Came From. Abdi will talk about his amazing story of survival and discuss the horrors he faced in Somalia on Sunday 26 July, at Studio@PCT, Wilson’s Rd, Mornington. Live music from 2pm will be a prelude to the talk at 2.30pm. The cost is $10. A Somali afternoon tea will be served.

Horror deaths for hooked birds Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CORMORANTS are reported to have died in agony after baited fish hooks were purposely left on a small fishing jetty at Devilbend reserve. The hooks had apparently been tied to the jetty, ripping out the birdsâ€™ throats when they attempted to fly off. Rangers at the 1005 hectare natural features reserve have investigated the report and are closely monitoring the situation to make sure it does not happen again. At least one incident of cormorant baiting at the Devilbend has been reported to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). â€œParks Victoria rangers have confirmed they visited the site to investigate the alleged incident, and have been undertaking regular monitoring,â€? DELWP acting program manager, resource protection and management Samantha Moore said. â€œThe department is now liaising with Parks Victoria regarding the alleged behaviour.â€? Birdlife Mornington Peninsula president Max Burrows said deliberately baiting hooks to catch cormorants was â€œdisgraceful, a despicable actâ€?. Mr Burrows suspected the traps had been set by anglers upset at cormorants â€œpinching their fishâ€?. The 250 hectare body of water has been stocked with fish and anglers are encouraged to try their luck. â€œThe problem is also that fishermen generally are untidy, leaving behind

their hooks and lines, but this was a deliberate act. â€œOur committee was told that lines had been tied to the jetty, trying to snag cormorants.â€? M Burrows said Devilbend was an â€œimportant bird areaâ€?, providing a home for up to 150 blue-billed ducks, â€œone of our rarest birdsâ€?. He feared the ducks would be disturbed if kayaks were allowed onto the water at Devilbend. A regular visitor to Devilbend said hooking the cormorants was â€œjust wanton crueltyâ€?. â€œIâ€™ve been hearing horrific stories from people who live locally about this wilful animal cruelty,â€? said the visitor who wished to remain anonymous. â€œApparently someone is trying to catch and kill cormorants by baiting hooks on fishing line with shrimp and fish and leaving them on the small pier alongside the lake there. â€œWhen the birds fly off with the bait the hooks rip the birdsâ€™ throats and they die a terrible death.â€? Reports of wildlife cruelty or destruction can be reported to the DELWP on 136 186.

LETTERS Spinning the port The political rhetoric and spin associated with the demand for and location of an additional container port for Victoria has recently intensified. While rhetoric and spin has always played a large part of the Liberal Party policy of supporting a container port at Hastings it is now intensifying at a great pace. The Bill recently introduced into state parliament for the leasing of the Port of Melbourne has reactivated old and introduced new rhetoric and spin to support the Hastings container port policy. With no business case for their proposed container port at Hastings the former Napthine government sought to fast track the construction by signing an agreement to pass federal environmental assessments from the federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt to the former Victorian planning minister. Liberal Party MP for Nepean Martin Dixon has been reported as saying: “Rejecting expansion of the Port of Hastings would cost 15,000 jobs over the next decade. I have the fourthpoorest electorate in the state; my electorate has the fourth-lowest income in the state. The people in my community need jobs; they need careers.” How 15,000 jobs would purportedly be created by a container port at Hastings is far from clear. A new container port would be highly automated and it is unlikely that experienced automated container port operators are currently unemployed and living in the region. During the construction phase there would be additional work, however, are local firms likely to win those contracts and do local people have the skills required for those jobs? What is real is tourism contributing $653 million to the Phillip Island economy in 2012-13 representing, 37.9 per cent of gross regional product, employing 5700 people and providing 38.2 per cent of regional employment. Recreational boating adds a further estimated $500m a year to the Western Port economy and helps support many businesses around Western Port. A cafe in Balnarring relies on tourism as much as its counterpart in Cowes and while no figures

are available for the western side of Western Port, real tourism and fishing jobs from Hastings down to Flinders are significant contributors to these towns’ economies The former Napthine government constantly claimed that Hastings is a “natural deep water port”. It is not. It has been previously dredged and has maintained approach channels. Victoria University’s Institute for Supply Chain and Logistics estimated dredging for the Port of Hastings would remove approximately six million cubic metres of spoil in the approach channels and 18 million cubic meters for a berthing pocket, bringing the total to about 24 million cubic meters excluding the dredging required for the anchorage area off the north shore of Phillip Island. At low tide Western Port has 25 per cent of the water surface area of Port Phillip and most of what is left is only 5-10 metres deep. Yet Liberal spin claims Hastings would be built to accommodate the same 3000 ships a year currently traversing Port Phillip, in 75 per cent less water. On the subject of dredging, the Liberal Opposition needs to explain why it’s not OK to dredge anywhere in Port Phillip but, if their plans to build Hastings ever came to fruition, it is OK to dredge 24 million cubic metres out of Western Port. Hundreds of people who know and love the bay have derided the Liberal “Hastings is a natural deep water port” mantra and the impact on the Ramsar protected coastline in such a tidal bay as Western Port would be devastating, both for the environment and tourism and fishingbased economies around the bay. A recently report by the South East Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA) , a cluster of local councils around Western Port and commissioned by the then Napthine government, has highlighted the fact that with existing coastal erosion and climate change induced storm surges areas around Western Port are in enough trouble already, without a massive container port making it even worse. I look forward to local Mr Hunt living up to his 2013 pre-election promises to “protect the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island from inappropriate development”. The same document states “we live in a wonderful part of the world and I am

passionate about protecting it”. I have written to Mr Hunt asking him to define these phrases in terms of the Hastings port expansion, but his only response was to call for an updated and (famous) Shapiro report on Western Port. If such an important document as the SECCCA report is circulating in his electorate, we look forward to his comparison of these two documents and, after he has read the SECCCA report, his views on where a five kilometre long and 500 metre wide container port wharf, with its incumbent 24 million cubic metres of dredging, sits in his spectrum of “inappropriate development”. Given his backing of the current state Opposition’s stance on rejecting the port sale legislation, plus his handing over of his environmental powers to the then Napthine government and the Victorian Liberals setting up a “Save the Bay” website, I leave Flinders electors to form their own opinions on where Mr Hunt’s priorities lie.

Point disappointment It is disappointing that the Point Leisure Group's concept project for Point Nepean will not now proceed and, as indicated in media reports, with it goes the opportunity for the youth of the southern Mornington Peninsula to obtain meaningful local employment (“Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan”, The News 7/7/15). The Point Leisure Group participated in an open tender process, with its proposed project assessed by the state-government appointed evaluation panel as meeting/exceeding the evaluation criteria. If it is now considered by some that the Point Leisure Group's project was "too big and inappropriate for the site", one can only hazard a guess as to how "bigger and more inappropriate" or non-conforming the unsuccessful proposals were. From the well patronised local community meetings that I attended in regard to the project, continued public access to the non-commercial areas of the national park was never at risk, which clearly is in contrast with the comments attributed to the director of the Victorian National Parks Association. Perhaps the only real difference between Parks

Victoria and the Point Leisure Group assuming management is that responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the national park would have seen the Point Leisure Group paying the $1m (approx) annual maintenance cost for the next 50 or so years, rather than amount coming from the state (public) purse through Parks Victoria. Intriguingly, Kate Baillieu is quoted by The News as saying she has expectations that the state government will, in respect of the 2010 master plan, "make it available for the public to see what had been agreed on and, basically, get on with it". Does Ms Baillieu really think that the current state government - or any government for that matter - will allocate any funds to undertake restorative works at Point Nepean? With so much current demand upon the state's finances, only the private sector will undertake restorative work at Point Nepean during our lifetimes and, to achieve that, the scale, scope and viability of its underlying project will need to be of sufficient dimension so as the restoration costs invested can be recouped through its business model. Perhaps following another protracted tender process, the Point Leisure Group's proposal could well be subsequently proven as being a very good solution for the national park but, I suspect we, the community, will never, ever know. Peter T Curtin, Sorrento

Happy with loss I for one am very glad that the planned multimillion dollar inappropriate development of Point Nepean is not to go ahead (“Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan”, The News 7/7/15). It was always going to be about the “jet setting polo set” and never for the likes of you and me. The million dollars compensation that we, as Victorians, have to pay is once again an example of arrogance by the then Liberal government which has still not apologised to the people of Victoria for the $400 million compensation debt it placed around our necks for the East West tunnel debacle. Incidentally, the site of the photo [of Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Nepean MP Martin Dixon] if my memory serves me right,

used to be a toilet. Some would say not a very appropriate place for pollies to have photo taken. Others would differ. John Cain, McCrae

Limit watch Wait a minute, we have been led to believe that the number of confusing speed limits will be reduced throughout. Now Somerville has four different speed limits on Eramosa Rd East within just one kilometre. Roll up and pay your speed fines folks. Meanwhile try not to hit anything while you're watching your speedo instead of the road. Aussie Sadler, Mornington

Labor to blame Rupert Steiner gives far too much praise to the Abbott government, crediting it with, in less than two years, wrecking the manufacturing economy and now going after the education system (“Dumbing down”, Letters, The News 30/6/15). I suggest he casts his net a little wider, say, several years before the present government to the Rudd/Gillard years. He will discover that neither manufacturing nor education were enhanced at all, but we were left with huge debts and deficits that will have to be repaid by our children and grandchildren, in the form of increased taxes and reduced government services. Michael Long, Frankston

Towers over holes The only conclusion I can draw from the announcement by our Minister for the Environment [and Liberal MP for Flinders, Greg Hunt] that a wind farm commissioner will be appointed to look into the effects of the wind turbines on human health is that our winds or turbines must be different. There are thousands of wind farms overseas. Many inquiries have been held and there is no evidence that they affect human health. Is it possible our government is finding every obstacle to the production of renewable energy because they want to sell dirty black coal? Continued Page 12

Success from pre-school’s excess

offers the young at heart an active lifestyle in our secure, tranquil and well established lifestyle resort

MT ELIZA Pre-School staff and committee members are basking in the glow of high marks received in the National Quality Standard ratings. The pre-school was judged to be “exceeding” the ratings under the national assessments. Services receive a rating for each of the seven quality areas in the NQS, as well as an overall rating. An overall “exceeding” rating is given to services that have four or more quality areas so rated, including two in the key quality areas. Management committee secretary Nicole Kuc said the pre-school had worked hard to earn the rating across all seven of the quality areas.

“In particular, we were commended for our educational program, wonderful indoor and outdoor play areas and the friendly and respectful relationships with children, staff, committee and the entire pre-school community.” The national standard aims to set a benchmark for the quality of children’s education and care services across Australia. As it progresses, every service in the country will be assessed on its progress in meeting the quality standard. The national framework for early childhood education and care was agreed by all Australian governments to get better educational and development outcomes for children using education and care services.

Under the hammer: This Moorooduc property took top spot at the weekend sales.

Knocked down for top sales spot A HOBBY farm at Moorooduc topped Melbourne’s auction sales on Saturday 4 July when it was knocked down for $3.352 million. The single level 40 square home on 28 hectares at 675 Moorooduc Hwy was sold by Mornington and Mt Eliza agents McEwing Partners. It was described as “providing the most sublime rural lifestyle close to suburbia. A muchloved, impeccably-maintained property, the perfect opportunity to begin a new tree-change lifestyle within minutes of the skate park, football club, Peninsula Link, Mt Eliza village and

prestigious schools”. The property was among 864 auctions reported to the REIV for that weekend. Online property portal Property Observer reported the auction clearance rate of 76 per cent was down on the 79 per cent success rate on the last weekend in June, and less than the 77 per cent the weekend before. It was 73 per cent this weekend one year ago. At the other end of the scale, a property at 10 Plantation Av, Frankston North, sold through Harcourts-Frankston for $270,000.

LETTERS Continued from Page 11 The prime minister [Tony Abbott] does not like wind towers. Clearly he prefers the stacks and smoke from coal burning generators. Or his latest idea of producing wood chips to burn instead. This is not clean renewable energy and also produces CO2 and particle pollution. Unfortunately, investment in renewable energy, because of the above, has dropped by almost 90 per cent from 2014. I found a photograph of a 20 mile line of solar panels, three abreast, providing shelter for cyclists and renewable energy for South Koreans. A carefully designed project. Wake up Australia. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Fear for freedom Ever louder and shrill are the attacks on our freedoms by a federal government run out of ideas. I heartily agree with almost all Andrew Dixon had to say about the hypocritical attacks on our poor ABC (“Free speech and talking about terrorism”, The News 30/6/15). It is embarrassing to hear even [Communications Minister] Malcolm Turnbull jump on the bandwagon of the Abbott government’s attempt to brainwash the population into a quivering and

afraid mass that will let them take ever more of their freedoms away. I would be much more interested in finding out what the government is planning post-car manufacturing for the masses of unemployed this will add to our society. Or will the government finally do something meaningful in regards to climate change, which will not condemn the next generations to a very bleak future. These are much greater dangers to the cohesion of our society than the terrorism threat from any deluded Muslims or white supremacists. Or is the vilification of any remnant of free press and comment a prelude to the logical next step in turning Australia into a dictatorship of the haves? The Labor opposition seems to be too meek and ineffective to stand up to the constant attacks on our freedoms. Coming back to the quite pertinent questions Zaky Mallah put [on the ABC’s Q&A program], is this fearmongering and the persecution of minorities in our society actually making it safer? The answer by a Liberal hack was, basically, if you don’t agree with what the Abbott government is doing, they just have to take your citizenship away and deport you. I fear for our freedom and so should all thinking Australians. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

WHAT’S NEW...

Agribusiness is all the buzz THE 11th Victorian Agribusiness Summit will be held at “Lindenderry at Red Hill”, Mornington Peninsula on July 30 and 31. The Victorian Agribusiness Council with generous partnership support from the Mornington Peninsula Shire, regional and local agribusinesses and the ANZ will deliver a not to miss programme. The event commences with “Mornington on Your Plate”, a dinner to celebrate local and regional food and agribusiness. An action packed evening to rival the talents and glitz of “Master Chef” will be presented. Local identity, Tim Hollands will entertain guests with creations by Lindenderry’s World Award Winning Executive Chef, Michael Greenlaw, veteran of Vue De Monde and Atlantis The Palm, Dubai. Local delights such as Hillock Downs succulent beef, and sour cherries will be on the menu. The Summit theme, “Agribusiness and Investment – the Dining Boom Summit”, will be opened by the Hon Jaala Pulford, Minister for Agriculture and Regional Development. The program will deliver a challenging array of speakers including Campbell Jeffrey, an Agribusiness expert operating in China for over 30 years, Steve Marshall, a co-owner of Peninsula Avocados - which processes and markets avocados and Mike Farnill, Sunnyridge Strawberry Farm which has experienced substantial 5 year growth. The event will put Mornington Peninsula agribusiness on the map. The contribution of the agribusiness sector to the local economy is substantial, yet understated. Located close to Melbourne the region is highly productive and delivers a diverse array of food. The sector is the largest employer in the region. Interaction with local growers, distributers and organisations is central to the sustainable economic growth of the sector and spin off effects for other industries such as tourism. Gillian Stewart, will highlight the importance of the agribusiness sector to the area and the opportunities presented being in close geographical location to Melbourne. Bookings can be made at: www.trybooking.com/132011. Places are limited.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston state school tidied up Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold an extensive clearing sale of farm implements, machinery, live stock, vehicles, and household furniture, on Wednesday, July 28th, on account of Mr G. W. Booth, (who has leased his farm), of Cricklewood, Frankston. Full particulars are advertised in this issue. *** CAPTAIN Sherlock has received word by the last mail, from his son Robert, that he has joined the 226th Company of Royal Engineers, Chatham, and is by this time at the front. *** ON Wednesday, 24th Messrs Brody and Mason will sell, at their rooms, Bay street Frankston, live stock &c in the estate of Henry Maudesley deceased, under instructions from the Curator of estates of deceased persons, vide advertisement appearing in another column. *** WE regret to have to announce the death of Captain Panter, R.N. at his residence “ Voongan” Toorak Road, Malvern. The deceased gentleman had for upwards of 25 years resided at “Jerula” but of late spent his winter in Malvern. As Captain of the Royal Navy he brought out the Cerberus to Australia. Among other public positions he held was that of one of the expert assessors to the Marine Court of Victoria. For some time he was a member of the Council for the North Riding of the

Shire of Frankston and Hastings. He leaves a wife and seven daughters to mourn their loss. *** LAST week we published a report of a very successful meeting at Frankston, conducted by the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Recruiting Committee at which Sir John Madden and Sir William Irvine delivered addresses. We have received reports from Somerville and Hastings of meetings subsequently held in these places under the auspices of the same Committee, details of which appear in another column. The President of the Shire (Cr W. J. Oates) and the Hon Sec (Dr Plowman) are to be congratulated on the success which has accompanied their efforts. *** WE call the attention of our readers to a preliminary advertisement in another column which announces that under the auspices of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Recruiting Committee, Major T. S. Marshall, Chief of the Country Fire Brigades, will deliver a lecture on The War, at Frankston, on Monday, July 26th. The lecture will be copiously illustrated, and is one of great interest. Full particulars will be given in our next issue, *** NOWHERE around Langwarrin has there been such steady progress during the past few years than along the main artery which connects Cranbourne with Frankston. Land has been selected, fenced and cleaned, small,

suitable spots converted into garden and orchards. Young men of the type of Messrs Cain (2) Holy, and Stephenson, have settled to the work like veterans, and deserve warm praise for their success in subduing the forest. The older settlers are putting up more substantial buildings, and some of the property is now worth double it was five years ago. The bad season we have passed through has only stimulated the old residents with new energy, and more cultivation plots are now seen. Passing along into Cranbourne the country looks beautiful and green, the crops being very robust, of good color and grass starting with growth. Thanks to the efforts of the Cranbourne Shire Councillors, the road is now much improved, and the residents bear grateful testimony to the Councillors for their efforts. *** THE boys of the Frankston State School, under the direction of Mr Richardson, have done some useful work tidying up part of the reserve where the big fire did so much damage a few weeks ago. The Government has sent a parcel of trees and shrubs for planting, and the secretary of the Progress Association, Mr W. Gregory, is arranging for a bee for planting these. We understand that it is the intention to have some planted in the above-named reserve and some in the reserve opposite the Post Office. *** AT the Somerville market, last Wednesday, conducted by Messrs

Brody and Mason, Mr Henry Hawken brought a pair of fowls, which he handed to the auctioneer, to be disposed of in aid of the Red Cross Fund. After a preliminary “raffle” the birds were handed back for sale, these passed through fifteen patriotic gentlemen who in turn handed them back. As a result the firm were enabled to hand a cheque to the Treasurer (Mrs G. E. Shepherd), at Somerville, for £4 3s. At the termination of the transaction, three lusty cheers were given for Mr Hawken. *** MESSRS A. Scott and Co. and Messrs Powers, Rutherford and Co. in conjunction, will hold a large clearing sale at “Belawa,” Mornington Road, on the 23rd July next, full particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns. *** A PUBLIC meeting will he held on Monday, 19th July, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, by the Women’s Christian Union and the Rechabite Lodge in conjunction, for the purpose of passing resolutions on the early closing question. The Hon. S. Mauger will give an address, and there will be music, songs and recitations during the evening. Cr W. J. Ontes will occupy the chair. *** THE inaugural meeting of the Mornington Junction miniature rifle club was held on the 7th inst. Owing to several other meetings being held elsewhere there were not as many intending members present as ex-

pected. Those who did attend enrolled and paid the 1st annual subscription which was fixed at 2s 6d. For the convenience of those who did not attend, it was decided to have the list of members left at the local post office where they may enroll and pay their subscriptions. The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday, July, 21st at 8 p.m. that all may take part in the election of officers. A full attendance is requested. *** AT the Cafe Francis, Swanston street, Melbourne, on Friday evening last, Directors of the Vacuum Oil Co. Pty. Ltd. entertained at dinner the travelling staff of the executive officers of the Victorian Branch. Mr C. A. Moser, the managing director, presided, and during the evening presented a costly case of cutlery to Mr J. B. Jolly of Frankston. In the course of his speech, Mr Moser said, for the months of April, May and June, the directors of the company had offered valuable prizes, for a selling contest amongst the thirty-two Victorian representatives of the company and the first prize had been won and won in brilliant fashion by Mr J. B. Jolly, who was a salesman that would be summed up in four letters A.R.E.A this area stood for Ability, Reliability, Endurance and Action, and all these qualities Mr Jolly possessed.

A Grain of Salt Same-sex marriage, the big question? I’ve worked with many homosexual people as an actor over the years but other than their talent their sexual preferences were insignificant. I attended one marriage ceremony and yes, I wondered why, but only a passing thought. I married after a 5-year relationship and while there was a sexual element there was also a strong ignorant desire for children. Some heterosexual couples did not have this “family” preference, a question of choice, or personal drive. In my time (specifically the 1950s) there was very little deep thought. You met a female, you liked her; more importantly she adored you, so married, led there in retrospect by society’s unwritten laws, but happy enough. It’s surely at least arguable whether or not a married heterosexual couple are better qualified to raise children; apparently most are, but many are not? The lottery of life. Aristotle said we should approach our wives gravely and wisely for fear lest we unhinge our reason by arousing them too lasciviously, the short term danger of voluptuous and unremitting pleasure. (Short-term being around two years, but again, variable?) Socrates, in answer to whether it was appropriate to take a wife, answered “whichever you do, you will be sorry”. Strange response. As always however, the genital activities of men and women, although necessary and part of the mind’s everyday activities of the vast majority, are in fact classified as unmentionables. Thus, I apply my “living next door to me” principle. No problem, therefore, let them marry; vote yes. There’s a car park next door to me.

*** Would that I could enjoy bowls or woodwork, fishing, gardening, long walks, bird watching, anything to escape those winds and bucketing rain; the inevitability of a power blackout. I have a bad back and I cannot blame Cupid; he deserted me long ago. My body has assumed control. I listen; I have no choice. I’m in constant argument on smoking but losing there too. Beer or coffee without a cigarette is Un-Australian; my necessity for cheerfulness being challenged. Fear of the “grim face” attitude, feeding on misfortune, increased levels of self-pity. The ever present fight for the necessary attitude of positivity. ”The value of life lies not in the length of days, but the use we make of them” [Michel Montaigne]. Well said Michel, but you didn’t experience July here, or Tony Abbott’s crusade of fear, or the real mafia (electricity, gas and water retailers) or the panic attack of another Hawthorn premiership. *** I shake my head in disbelief. I shouldn’t, but again I fall for the trap, temporarily forgetting the historical stupidity of governments. No smoking in prisons after months in the planning process; what on earth did they talk about? It beggars belief they didn’t anticipate the riot. “Shocking and disgraceful” said Danny Andrews, vowing to uncover the reasons for the unrest, with a report due in November? Email me Danny and I’ll tell you in one sitting; you pay for petrol. Save a fortune on meetings. *** Two friends were adamant after the ABC‘s Q&A Zaky Mallah episode

“Chuck him out of the country” etc. All I saw were similar words from little known Liberal politician Steven Ciobo and Mallah responding followed by the furore and Tony’s perfect opportunity to further his political scare campaign including his wish to have our ABC be an extension of News Limited. I’m reminded of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act dealing with harmful speech on the grounds it burdened freedom of expression, Attorney-General Uncle George Brandis arguing in support of his attempted amendments to the Racial Discrimination Act: “Everyone is entitled to be a bigot”. Clearly we can say what we like, but not anything Tony doesn’t like? Fear of terror, wind farms, unions and the ABC. How about fear of Alan Jones? Forget this early election nonsense and the likelihood of an ABC comedy titled At Home with Tony. *** Our wonderful Government is sniffing at the heels of independent union representatives on industry superannuation funds suggesting they be replaced by financial experts? Janet Albrechtsen? Union funds are outperforming commercial funds. Yes, certain to be shonkies hidden among the union funds bosses, but anything run by financial experts (is there such an animal?) will be a step to the detriment. Beware. *** Some things bear repeating: How to close down a democracy (Naomi Wolf, The Guardian).. “invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy, create a gulag, employ security contractors, set up a surveillance system, harass citizen groups, in-

By Cliff Ellen troduce arbitrary detention, control the media and believe that dissent equals treason”. The good news? Like Keating, Howard, Rudd and Gillard, Tony’s day will come. Sooner rather than later, please. *** Cato the Younger (long before Shakespeare’s birth) “we can judge a man’s character much better from his conversation than his physiognomy”...Former union leader Kathy Jackson has become an undischarged bankrupt?...$300 billion euros debt; sell Mykonos?..Maybe a Royal Commission on “right of way” assumptions by females with

trolleys at Woolworths?...I’m a patient man - sooner or later our PM will explain his contention his Liberal Party are best at managing the economy...They play a hard game at Direct Endoscopy Frankston. A request for a second two biscuit pack was met with “only one per person”...I often wonder what a “mature” discussion is... “The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear” [2 Timothy 4:3]. ...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond. com

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

International economics explained: Greece is the word By Stuart McCullough SPARE a thought for Greece. Sadly, it seems there’s a very real chance they may soon be tapped on the shoulder and politely asked to gather their things before exiting the Eurozone. It prompts the question, where are they supposed to go? There are plenty of zones out there, not all of them suitable for a sovereign nation. It’ll be no good if, after leaving the Eurozone, Greece enters the Twilight Zone. Worse still would be if they got stuck with professional beardo Kenny Loggins on his ‘Highway to the Dangerzone’. That’s about as appealing as the thought of a jump-suited Maverick man-spreading in the cockpit of an Air Force fighter jet, mumbling under his breath about ‘the need for speed’. Thanks but no thanks. There’s a real risk that Greece could end up in the friend-zone which, as we all know only too well, sucks immensely. But, unbelievably, it could be worse. If Greece is super unlucky, they could end up in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Talk about awkward! You couldn’t so much as take out the bins without nosey-parker neighbours on both sides wondering what you were up to. Or maybe its luck will turn and Greece will leave the Eurozone, with its weird currency and fondness for shoes without socks, and end up in the erogenous zone instead. We can only hope. No matter which way you look at it, being thrown out of your economic region is a pretty spectacular kick in the financial pants. Things may be in a mess, economically speaking, but before anyone gets too carried away,

everyone should pause, take a deep breath and get a little perspective. Greece has done a lot for which we should all be grateful. I’m not talking about souvlaki, Nana Mouskouri or Greek mythology, even though each of those things is undeniably fantastic. Rather, I’m talking about democracy,

which Greece pretty much invented. If you’re going to have an idea, you might as well make it a cracker. And democracy is, if nothing else, an absolute rip-snorter of an idea. In contrast to Australia, Greece can’t rely on vast deposits of mineral wealth to sustain it. But it is responsible for

the best idea for government that anyone’s ever had. In a fairer world, Greece would receive a healthy dividend from every nation on the planet that has chosen to blatantly plunder its intellectual property. Establishing the foundations for Western civilization ought to earn you at least a few brownie points, if not something a little more fiscally solid. Much like residuals that are sent out to former sitcom stars, Greece should be able to survive comfortably for the rest of its days. Strangely though, its achievements are rarely recognized. That’s because the rest of the world has a tendency to disparage democracy even as they enjoy its spoils. Winston Churchill claimed that the best argument against democracy with a five-minute conversation with the average voter. He also claimed that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others. Clearly, Winston was trying to haggle over the licensing fee by first talking down the product. He should have simply coughed up and sent a bunch of flowers to the Greek nation with a note that simply read, ‘thanks’. But it’s not just Winston Churchill sinking the boots in to Greece’s greatest export. Giorgio Armani was once quoted as saying that, ‘Jeans represent democracy in fashion.’ I don’t exactly know what that means, but given the acid-wash debacle of 1988 – 1992 (of which I was a victim) it can’t possibly be good. Whether or not Greece remains part of the Eurozone should not be determined by mere economics. If it were up to me, these things would be decid-

ed by a European-wide vote, kind of like Eurovision. On second thoughts, I think that this is exactly the kind of intractable problem that should be resolved at Eurovision. Nations who get the least votes should not merely be shamed in a worldwide broadcast to billions of people; they should be relegated out of Europe to another continent. That, I feel, is fair. Given the generally high standard of their entries, Greece would remain securely fixed in the European firmament while Britain and their risible dirge would see them relegated from Europe to Africa or maybe Antarctica and having to do the hard yards to be re-admitted. As it goes for Davis Cup, so it should go for international economics. There is, of course, one other option if you want to restructure your debt: a name change. Businesses do it all the time as a way of hitting the ‘refresh’ button and leaving the past behind. Prince Roger Nelson did it to escape a recording contract he regarded as oppressive. I’m not sure if a country has ever changed its name to an unpronounceable symbol, but ‘the artist formerly known as Greece’ has a definite ring to it. There are heaps of options: you could name it after a Greek philosopher like Socrates, Plato or Aristotle, all of whom have contributed so much to civilized thought. Or, if that doesn’t work, call the joint ‘Westeros’ instead. I don’t mean to make light of such turmoil: these are uncertain times for a great country. You can only hope that someone, somewhere will find a way forward. Best wishes to all. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Panthers pounce on Magpies NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE leapfrogged Crib Point on the MPNFL Nepean Division ladder on Saturday after coming from behind to earn a 17 point victory. The Magpies, who played in a grand final against Sorrento last year, are now second bottom on the ladder with just two wins for the season. The Pies led by 18 points at three quarter time on Saturday after booting six goals to one in the third, however, couldn’t sustain the momentum in the last. Pearcedale, through the likes of Michael Williams, who played his best game for the season with four goals, snagged five goals to one behind in the last to win 12.14 (86) to 10.9 (69). Dylan Hoare and Pat Heijden (three goals) were also at their best for the Panthers, while Ben Mitchell controlled the ruck. It’s been a disastrous season for Crib Point. Magpies’ coach Duane Annable said everything that could have gone wrong has so for the Pies in 2015. “In 2014, we had a dream run with injuries and we were able to win the close ones,” said Annable. “This season, we haven’t had the same luck. We had a number of players have surgery at the end of the season and we had players injured in the pre-season. “Really important players last season have rarely been sighted this season. In this competition when it’s so competitive, you need to have everything going your way. For us this season, that hasn’t been the case,” said Annable. Brad Davidson was at his best for the Pies on Saturday, as was Brad Arnold. Luke Herrington was also solid with three goals. Keegan Downie and Tom Baker booted 10 goals each as Rosebud inflicted yet another 200-point loss on Tyabb. The Buds took advantage of the opportunity to rest some stars with niggling injuries, however, it didn’t prevent the 33.21 (219) to 2.7 (19) victory. Jackson Cox and James Cottrell were the best of the Yabbies. Yabbies have five-year plan It’s not all bad news for Tyabb though, who have launched their five-year-plan to rebuild their struggling club. Vice President Robert Hansen announced that some past player legends, including former AFL player and Yabbies’ premiership player Jamie Duursma, as well as premiership coach Eddie Fischer, were setting up a coterie group to assist with fundraising. Former player and MPNFL CEO Steve Pallas is also supporting the club through Sport Community. Hansen said being competitive in this competition wasn’t all about the money. “Football clubs are about the community, getting people involved, former players supporting their club,” said Hansen. “Tyabb Football Club has had too few doing all of the work for too long and this has to change. It’s about to change. “It’s very frustrating for us to go to other clubs and see the level of support they have from people around their club. “We can’t continue to operate as a country footy club. We need to become a business. “To help us achieve this, we have appointed a part-time general manager, who will manage all on-field and off-field matters. We plan to make this a full-time role sooner rather than later. “We are absolutely committed to improving, staying in the MPNFL and being more competitive. “We have no interest in joining any other league and this has never been a consideration for our club.

MPNFL taken over by AFL South East Commission By Toe Punt THE AFL South East Commission official took over the MPNFL in a caretaker role last week after the clubs voted at a Special General Meeting. Following a notice of “noconfidence” and the subsequent resignation of the entire MPNFL Board last week, member clubs approved a motion put forward to install the AFL South East Commission as the league’s caretaker governing body until the next Annual General Meeting. Member clubs also approved motions directing the commission to undertake immediate reviews into the governance, administration, finances

and rules of the MPNFL. The respective reviews, due for completion by early October 2015, will involve in-depth consultation and open reporting with all stakeholders including (and most importantly) the clubs. The working party for the respective reviews will involve key management staff from AFL Victoria and AFL Legal, as well as Commissioners and local stakeholders. AFL South East Commission chairman Roger Hampson said the move by the member clubs of the MPNFL is a watershed moment for the league. “The clubs have expressed their

collective desire for change and they now have the chance to be part of that conversation in the framework of these reviews. “The Commission will provide the governance and administrative function under MPNFL rules until the Annual General Meeting, allowing recommendations emanating from the reviews to be discussed and adopted. This is truly a watershed moment, providing member clubs with the opportunity for significant input into the future structure.” While the commission will oversee the governance function, the administration of the league will be overseen by AFL South East’s region

general manager Jeremy Bourke. The current MPNFL administrative staff will remain in place until the completion of the administrative review, which will determine that structure under a regional administration framework. Following the adoption of motions at the SGM, Roger Hampson announced that the first order of business was to conduct a full financial audit to ascertain the league’s current position. Former Western Bulldogs and AFL Victoria financial controller Stephen Smith will start work on this process from July 13 and report to Commission Audit Committee chair and former Edithvale-Aspendale president Ted

Turner. “It is important to stress that AFL South East are committed to the maintenance of the identity, independence and history of the MPNFL,” said Hampson. “The league is one of the most prestigious in Victoria with a proud history of playing strength, community engagement and leadership. “All decisions concerning the future direction of the league will be done in full consultation with the clubs and will be done with respect to that prestige and history, but with a firm focus on the long-term sustainability of the league and its clubs.”

Langwarrin’s season over PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN’S season came to an end in MPNFL Peninsula Division football on Saturday when it was beaten by Edithvale-Aspendale in a thriller. The Kangas (sixth) are now two games behind the Eagles (fifth) and need to produce a miracle in the final seven games of the year to make finals. The reality is that the Kangaroos don’t deserve to play finals. The opportunity was there before them on Saturday and they blew it. Despite having 10 more clearances and eight more inside 50m entries, the home side trailed for the majority of the afternoon. Langwarrin led by seven points at quarter time but were blown out of the water by a more hungry, desperate, committed and disciplined EdithvaleAspendale side in the second quarter. The Eagles booted five goals to two for the term and set up the win. Langwarrin hit the front with five minutes left in the match when Nick Hammill slotted one through, however, a crucial turnover inside Langwarrin’s 50m arc resulted in Eagles’ star Brad Tagg getting on the end of it and running into an open goal at the other end to reclaim the lead. The home side dominated the final three minutes of the match but poor ball movement and a lack of urgency allowed the Eagles to get numbers back and cramp the Kangas’ forwards. When the game was there to be won, Edithvale-Aspendale had more players who were committed to getting the

four points. Brett O’Hanlon, Brad Tagg, Matthew Clark, Mark Mullins and Stevey Mannix led the charge, while Tim Mavric, in his first game back for three months after suffering a neck injury, dominated in the last quarter. Rikki Johnston was a standout for the Kangaroos. He did everything he

could at both ends to will his side over the line. Shane Patterson also played extremely well across four quarters. Nick Hammill helped his side get back into the match in the second half when he was moved into the ruck. Dale Binks worked hard at the stoppages and Dylan Luxa lifted when the team needed him. Blake Peach was

also tireless. Edithvale coach Graeme Yeats said after the match that it was his leaders who “stood-up” when it mattered. “We have a lot of inexperience in our side and unfortunately, a lot is left to the experienced blokes – they were just fantastic today,” Yeats said immediately after the match.

“O’Hanlon, Clark and Mavric through the middle were great and I thought the defenders in Jason Campbell, Mark Mullens and Steve Mannix led the charge too. Jarrod Garth also worked hard in attack. “It was a classic eight-point game and I thought our boys deserved it. We showed some spirit and fight and that was really pleasing,” said Yeats. A shattered Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said after the game that the more desperate and disciplined side won the match. “Look, we just didn’t follow instruction for long enough. It’s been a problem all season,” said Artico. “When we needed to win the 50/50 ball at critical times, we lost those contests. There just wasn’t enough care and commitment.” Artico said before the match to his players that if they lost the game, they may as well play cards on a Tuesday and Thursday night for the rest of the season. Langwarrin’s football might not improve but its Poker game will. In the only other Peninsula League match on Saturday, Frankston YCW thrashed Chelsea to the tune of 124 points. After leading by just 11 points at quarter time, the Stonecats booted 20 goals to three after the first change. Anthony Bruhn booted six and Ryan Santon and Dave Bodley four each while Kyle Hutchison dominated for the second week in succession. Matt Gardiner and Matt Silva were the best of the Seagulls.

Motoring Isuzu UTE takes sales records to next level Isuzu UTE Australia has continued its stellar growth, recording its highest ever monthly sales result in June, with 2,675 new vehicle registrations – eclipsing the previous best result of 2,339 posted in December 2014. Both its 1-tonne D-MAX ute and 7-seat MU-X SUV achieved individual monthly record sales results, with 1,904 and 771 units respectively. The end of financial year also provided IUA with its best opening six months on record, with accumulated vehicle sales YTD reaching 10,227, and total sales since commencing business in 2008 of just over 60,000 vehicles. A strong June performance also edged Isuzu UTE above Suzuki on the YTD sales charts. To put IUA’s rapid progress into perspective, less than two years ago the company posted an annual sales tally of 10,229 vehicles. June’s VFACTS reporting confirms Isuzu UTE’s D-MAX as the fastest growing brand in the 1-tonne ute segment in both June and YTD, with D-MAX sales not only eclipsing Nissan’s Narava for the month (1,904 vs 1,280) but also on YTD sales (7,007 vs 6,473). D-MAX’s market share in June 2015 was 9.8 per cent, helped in part by improved fleet sales as increas-

ingly customers demand their fleet be five-star ANCAP rated. Isuzu UTE’s MU-X also set new records in June, once again outselling established LargeSUV segment players such as Mitsubishi’s Pajero, Nissan’s Pathfinder and Hyundai’s Santa Fe – resulting in a new market share high of 6.2 per cent. “I am extremely pleased with the results our Isuzu UTE team has achieved so far this year … it’s a credit to the hard work everyone has put in across our business,” said IUA’s Managing Director & CEO Yasu Takeuchi. “This year we have introduced a variety of new initiatives such as a new marketing platform in ‘Go Your Own Way’, a new Capped Price Servicing program ‘Service Plus’, and launched our owner’s ‘I-Venture Club’ … when combined with the continual expansion and improvement of our dealer network, our brand is really starting to make a significant impression on the market. “June’s result deepened our confidence to exceed 20,000 unit sales in 2015, and while we are well aware of the challenges ahead of us in the second-half of the year, I am confident we can sustain our rapid growth,” he said.
