Students pause to remember WHO are you remembering this Anzac day? That was the question set last week for whole-of-school homework at Mt Eliza Secondary College. “Students had some very interesting inter-generational, often emotional conversations with older relations as they set about discovering the names of family members - now passed away - who had signed up to serve their country,” teacher Narelle Debenham said. “The students, their families, school staff and the wider community remember with gratitude and respect our relations who made significant personal sacrifices for the freedom we all enjoy today.” In the role, Years 7 and 8 Real Time Learning students helped build a commemorative Anzac art installation to pay tribute to their loved ones. It is a landscape with crosses and red poppies on a field with a painted beach background. The project was inspired by Ms Debenham’s visit to Gallipoli last year to visit the grave of her great, great uncle George Wyse Smith. A cross in the garden bears his name.

Shire aims for 5.9% rate rise David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au SHIRE rates will rise 5.9 per cent for 2015-16, councillors have decided in the budget document now available at shire offices, libraries and online. Further budget submissions can be made on 11 June at a special meeting in the Rosebud shire office. The rate rise is the same as last year’s and, for the third successive year the municipal charge has been held at $180 a property. CEO Carl Cowie told a recent coun-

cil meeting the charge would be reviewed for the next budget. Some took this to mean it might be reduced or even abolished entirely. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the budget focussed on speeding up debt repayment and preparing for rate capping by the state government, which will curb shire rates income from next year. Other priorities were: possible future loans to cover the defined benefits superannuation scheme; limits on funding from the federal and state government; and “long term community needs and aspirations”. “My councillor colleagues and I are

very aware of financial pressures that many in our community face and our rates will continue to be among the lowest in the state,” Cr Colomb said, urging people to read the budget “to understand council’s priorities over the next 12 months”. Mr Cowie, who started work at the shire on 1 December last year, pointed to “significant changes ahead where a prudent financial approach is imperative to ensure that the shire is on a solid footing for the decades to come”. He was hired by councillors to reorganise the shire finances and structure, a process he began with a preliminary

trimming of staff – the first step to “unlock maximum value for the community” – and a declared interest in contracting out unspecified shire work. “All aspects of shire operations will continue to be reviewed, reducing costs wherever possible, whether this is through innovation, truly competitive tendering, process improvements, supply-chain enhancements, or enhanced technology solutions,” Mr Cowie said. “Sound financial control is an essential element of any business ... we are a large business, with a high level of responsibility to the community.”

Rates income of $146.1 million is up $8.4 million from last year, about $800,000 of this coming from new properties. A steady but modest rise in rates revenue is predicted through to 2018-19. Additional income comes from the optional green waste service ($2.95 million), bringing the “total rates and charges revenue” to just over $149 million. The $180 municipal charge raises $17.66 million of this. Similarly, the cost of services is budgeted to rise moderately from now until 2018-19. Continued Page 7

Determined, Luke beats the odds after accident Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au IT was just an early morning bike ride to start the day on Friday 6 March. But when Luke Matthews’ was hit by a concrete truck as he was riding along Beleura Hill Rd, Mornington, a frantic battle for life began. Mr Matthews was placed in an induced coma and airlifted to The Alfred. The 34-year-old Mt Eliza man was operated on for head and facial injuries, including the removal of part of his skull to relieve swelling on his brain. Family friend Rowena Beach told The News at the time that doctors were only giving Mr Matthews a 50 per cent chance of survival. “If Luke does pull through, it appears likely we are looking at a lifetime of disability,” Ms Beach said. In the days that followed, attempts to bring Mr Matthews out of the induced coma failed; his body reacting badly when doctors tried to lower his sedation levels. “Things took a turn for the worse when a serious chest infection set in, which is a side effect of having the breathing tube in,” Ms Beach said. “It was terribly difficult. Luke has three young kids. The fear and uncertainty they face is just heartbreaking. “Luke’s wife [Karen] has to pick up the pieces and carry on as well as she can.” Mr Matthews’ family stayed by his side and hoped in the face of a bleak future. After about a week, doctors man-

aged to slowly bring him out of his induced coma. The first victory was a simple squeeze of a hand that showed that Mr Matthews could respond; a huge achievement considering the extent of his injuries and the fact his left side was still paralysed. Then Mr Matthews’ eyes would start following people around the room. Two weeks after the accident, Mr Matthews was moved from intensive

care to a neurological ward and received his first visit from three very relieved little girls. “The kids handled themselves very well. They were gentle and understanding of Luke’s injuries. As any parent would know, asking a fouryear-old to be gentle is quite a task,” Mr Matthews’ wife, Karen, said. Nearly two months since the accident, Mr Matthews is back home with his family. He arrived home to his wife and daughters on Wednes-

day 29 April after making a remarkable recovery against the odds. “We are thrilled with Luke’s progress,” Mrs Matthews said. “Although he has made a remarkable recovery, he still has a lot of healing to do. “Initially, the neurosurgeons gave him a very slim chance of recovery so he has surprised everyone. “While the critical stage has now passed, it is still very early days in terms of healing. Recovering from a

brain injury takes many months and years and Luke will continue his rehabilitation at home for the foreseeable future.” Mr Matthews will also require surgery in August to replace two sections of skull that were removed after the accident. “We are very very lucky and eternally grateful to have had such an amazing team of paramedics, surgeons, ICU staff and rehabilitation staff who together ensured an optimal outcome for Luke,” Mrs Matthews said. “But Luke’s incredible determination and will to live cannot be underestimated. He has shown amazing strength, willpower and desire to be around to watch his little girls grow up.” Mrs Matthews is also keen to thank to wider community for its support. “It has been overwhelming. I haven’t had to cook a meal in nearly two months. The support has been phenomenal.” Mr Matthews’ employer, ANZ Bank, has also indicated its intention to leave his role open for his eventual return, offering him an incentive to strive towards recovery. “There are still some hurdles to get over,” Mrs Matthews said. “But where we are heading towards now is the best outcome we could have hoped for.” Friends of the family have established a Go Fund Me page is being used to raise much needed funds for the family.

Mornington News 5 May 2015

La Traviata’s screen premier MOVIE buffs can enjoy a premiere screening of the English National Opera’s La Traviata on 16-17 May at Mornington Cinemas. The film was first shown in London in March. After Mornington it will be shown in capital and regional cities. It is performed in English by the stars of the opera at the London Coliseum theatre in multi-camera HD. Filming was directed by double MTV awardwinning director and Grammy award nominee Andy Morahan. Organisers say Peter Konwitschny’s production cuts to the heart of the opera’s themes of passionate love and tragic death with a modern and uncluttered staging.

La Traviata tells the story of how beautiful, but fragile, courtesan Violetta is coerced into sacrificing her one hope of personal happiness for the sake of her lover’s reputation. A tragic and resonant tale of society and morality, Verdi’s masterpiece combines compelling characters with powerful, moving and recognisable melodies, making it one of the most emotionally engaging and popular operas of all time, they say. Making her UK debut as Violetta is soprano Elizabeth Zharoff, right, alongside Ben Johnson, as Alfredo, and baritone Anthony MichaelsMoore, as Alfredo’s father Giorgio Germont.

Families most likely to abuse elderly Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE startling and growing problem of seniors’ abuse is the focus of a forum in Hastings next week. Discussion will centre on protection of seniors’ rights and their money, will and powers of attorney. Seniors’ Rights Victoria manager Jenny Blakey said the Mornington Peninsula’s increasing number of elderlies were often victims of abuse by family members, neighbours and former friends. Their age, infirmity, reliance on others and over-riding desire to “do the right thing” makes them vulnerable. “It’s unfortunate that people on the peninsula are experiencing this sort of abuse,” Ms Blakey said. “We know about child abuse but the issues go on into old age.”

She described the issue as any abuse or neglect of elderlies by those they previously trusted. “Most frequently it is abuse by adult sons or daughters on their parents, or by wives, husbands or de facto partners. “Usually, it is over a long time frame – 50 or 60 years – and we work with people over those sorts of times frames.” Abuse is debilitating on the victims who suffer physical and emotional wounds – and also have to endure the shame of it happening to them. “In some cases, an adult son or daughter may ask – or even tell - their parents that they want them to look after their child. Whether the parents want to or not is irrelevant,” Ms Blakey said. “The issue can start with good intentions but the grandparents may feel their lives are being taken over, that

they have lost control, and the situation often slides towards a nasty end.” This ageism reflects the common belief that the needs and care of the aged do not matter. “It’s a misplaced sense of entitlement, she said. We are in a youth-focused society.” Ms Blakey said abuse can extend from “nicking” money from purses or wallets, forging signatures, taking property with the “promise” of returning it to physical and emotional bullying. This may include threats, verbal abuse, and isolation. Some victims are kept at home, not allowed to answer the phone, deprived of food, medication, and even a secure place to sleep. “We learned of one elderly peninsula man who has been forced to sleep in the shed,” Ms Blakey said. “Frequently, physical or social abuse accompanies other forms of abuse. Victims become

scared and compliant. If they complain other threats are made to send them to a home.” Peninsula Advisory Community of Elders (PACE) volunteer Jeanette Lane gives another example of abuse: “An elderly couple on the southern peninsula receiving disability pensions asked their adult son to handle their Centrelink affairs and to switch them over to the aged pension. The son began collecting their money regularly – but would only dole out a trifling $20 a week. After the parents complained he grudgingly increased the handouts to $40 a week. Months later – and increasingly worried - the couple checked their bank account to find they had nothing left.” The son had used his new-found power to empty it. Ms Blakey said staff at peninsula banks sometimes queried elderly residents over unexplained, suspicious

withdrawals. However, the victims would gloss over these incidents, too proud or protective to admit foul-play. The peninsula’s high proportion of elderlies – often living in lower socioeconomic circumstances – may be at the high end of the 10 per cent suffering abuse. She said anyone affected should call Seniors Rights Victoria’s free, confidential helpline (1300 368 821). Interpreters are available. “We honour the trust shown to us and respect the choices our clients make,” she said. The forum on abuse of the elderly runs 10am-12.30pm, Wednesday 13 May, at Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings (Melway 154 G8). Free transport can be arranged for peninsula residents. Call 1800 064 784 or 9783 3600 or email pclc@pclc.org.au

Review for â€˜unfairâ€™ shire charge MORNINGTON Peninsula Shireâ€™s contentious Municipal Charge, now $180 per domestic rate notice, is to be reviewed, shire CEO Carl Cowie told the 13 April council meeting. Responding to a question from Joe Lenzo of Safety Beach, Mr Cowie said the review could result in a change to the flat-rate charge starting in the 2016-17 financial year budget. Mr Lenzo had asked if the shire would "consider discontinuing this regressive and unfair tax", collecting it instead by increasing the rate in the dollar. He had provided figures showing its disproportionate effect on the less well off. The highest dwelling rate, excluding the Municipal Charge, was $48,900, he wrote in his background to the question. The lowest was $31.55. As a percentage of the rate bill, the $180 component of $48,900 was 0.37 per cent. For the lowest rate ($31.55), the $180 represented 570.52 per cent. â€œAlthough the most extreme example, it does point out the disparity and unfairness of the charge and penalises those who can least afford it,â€? Mr Lenzo wrote. In reply, Mr Cowie described the question as â€œwell putâ€?. The 2015-16 budget was almost finished but a review of all shire finances would be ready for the 2016-17 financial year and beyond, he said. It is believed support for cutting or abolishing the Municipal Charge is

gaining support among councillors. It is argued that recovering the revenue lost by way of the sliding-scale rate in the dollar is equitable and achievable. At the council meeting, eight questions were asked about Red Hill Station Reserve master plan, currently being considered by the council. They covered tensions over the project that ranged from equestrian issues to electric barbecues, maintaining the areaâ€™s bushland feel and why the work was being done at all. (Disclosure: this writer was a committee member of the local community group when the proposal was launched in 2008.) Red Hill Community Association said the shire had received 90 responses to its community consultation sessions about plans for the area, which is on the corner of Shoreham and Point Leo roads and along part of the old railway line to Merricks. Only three responses were negative. David Harrison

Wrong contractor THE article â€˜Landmark trees get the chopâ€™ (The News 28/4/15) stated that pine trees at the CB Wilson Reserve, Mornington, were removed by contractor Laurie Brown. In fact, it was Browns Complete Tree Removal Pty Ltd, of Mornington, which did the work for Mornington Peninsula Shire contractor, Transfield Services.

Group campaigns to back rates cap David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au

Commission (ESC), which is preparing the method which will cap rates starting from the 2016-17 budget year. â€œThis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to help bring unreasonable and over-blown rate rises under control,â€? the MPRRA letter states. â€œOver the last 10 years council rates have increased by more than 100 per cent, which is more than the increase in the cost of nearly all other household goods or services incurred by Victorians,â€? it goes on. The letter states that â€œby any measure councilsâ€™ rate increases have been outrageousâ€?.

A MORNINGTON Peninsula ratepayer group is urging support for the state governmentâ€™s plan to cap rate rises to the cost of living â€“ a proposal hotly opposed by most local councils across Victoria, including Mornington Peninsula Shire. The Mornington Peninsula Ratepayersâ€™ and Residentsâ€™ Association has written to Ratepayers Victoria and other leading groups and individuals, urging them to gather support from their members to write to the Essential Services

In May last year, when the then opposition Labor Party announced the rate cap proposal, then shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi predicted such a move would result in a â€œsignificant reduction in the delivery of quality infrastructure and services provided to our local communityâ€?. The statement was made just prior to a rate increase of 5.9 per cent, despite the shireâ€™s long-standing, regularly ignored, policy of rate rises capped at no more than inflation plus 2 per cent. The MPRRA asks people to tell the ESC that rate rises â€œimpact on those least able to pay in the community such as those on low incomes, pensioners,

retirees, and [those on] fixed incomesâ€?. They also impact on business competitiveness, the ESC should be told. The letter should also tell the ESC: â€œExcessive rate increases have continually occurred over the last 15 years since council amalgamation and simply cannot be justified or sustained into the future.â€? It also points out that rate capping â€œdoes not totally prevent an increase in councilsâ€™ revenuesâ€?, since they gain new rates from new housing. And councils with special circumstances can â€œrigorously justifyâ€? their request. The ESC should be asked to ensure

Shire budgets for a 5.9% rates rise Continued from Page 1 In what looks like a shift in reporting method, carried-forward capital works of $16.26 million are not included in the 2015-16 figure of $26.06 million. The budget states these projects have not been included â€œdue to the timing of adoptionâ€?. Possibly the shire is in the process of adopting the â€œfull accrual accountingâ€? system. The document says capital spending has been prioritised â€œbased on a rigorous process of consultation that has enabled council to assess needs and develop sound business cases for each [capital works] projectâ€?. A bar chart shows spending is highest for parks and reserves, drainage and waste and recycling. â€œLand use and conservation planningâ€? follows. The vital item roads and road main-

tenance is listed under Capital Works as having a budget of $10.1 million for a broad range of road-related infrastructure, including lighting, traffic signals and footpaths. Significant projects listed for the next financial year include play space renewals, a revamp of the Emil Madsen, Mt Eliza, including money for soccer, totalling $670 million; Mt Martha skate park; Balnarring recreation reserve; Hastings activity centre ($400 million); and allocations for Rosebudâ€™s jetty and activity centre works totalling $850 million. New assets including footpaths, a property purchase and skate/BMX/soccer projects are allocated more than $7 million, while asset upgrades will get $3.3 million. Renewal and maintenance, including Safer Local Roads funding, pavilions, drainage, footpaths and public toilets are

allocated $15.7 million. Asset sales were forecast to fetch $11.63 million in the current financial year. The draft budget indicates they raised not a cent. The money was to be used to help finance the $8 million-plus purchase of Wannaeue Place, proposed as an alternative location for the mothballed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. Some $26 million is expected to flow to the shire next financial year from state and federal governments ($1.12 million) to fund road works. A further $2.9 million in â€œcontributionsâ€? will come mainly from developers via planning requirements and $22 million generated by the shireâ€™s operating activities. No borrowings are contemplated. The budget is at www.mornpen.vic. gov.au Click on â€œShire 2015/16 proposed budget on exhibitionâ€?

that councils do not â€œsubvert rate capping measuresâ€? by increasing other charges, the MPRRA letter states. Both sides of state politics have for years rubber-stamped rate rises. The Andrews government is doing little more than effectively announcing this will stop: it will require councils to justify rises. Councils generally have grown comfortable in a climate of tapping their communities for whatever funds they feel they require, with little effort to apply fiscal self-discipline. Mornington Peninsula Shire has been as guilty of this as most.

Police push on crime

LAW and order was in the spotlight last Thursday when Police Minister Wade Noonan visited Frankston train station to thank police for their work to keep commuters and passerbys safe. Crime statistics show an 18 per cent fall in disorderly and offensive conduct and a 15 per drop in weapons offences last year. Labor won government at November’s state election so the majority of the fall in crime in 2014 occurred under the previous Coalition government. Protective services officers (PSOs) were introduced by the former Napthine government at Frankston train station in August 2013. A police “brawler van” is also now regularly on standby near pubs and clubs to help stop drug and alcohol-fuelled fights in Frankston. “Frankston police have responded to community safety issues with several initiatives aimed at problem behaviours where they occur most,” Mr Noonan said. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the $50 million revamp of the Frankston train station precinct and Young St will “ensure all community members feel safe”.

“The precinct is the heart of the Frankston community and we want it to be a state-of-the-art transport hub, encouraging jobs and bringing Chisholm TAFE closer to the community,” he said. Earlier this year, Frankston police inspector Tony Silva told The News there could be a perception that Frankston train station is a dangerous place but crime data showed offences on the Frankston line “is not disproportionate to reported offending on other lines”. “From what we can see, Frankston is no more prone to criminal activity than any other area of the transport network.” Neil Walker

Population tipped to soar 20% in 20 years David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula’s population will surge 20 per cent from the current 150,000 to nearly 180,000 in the next 20 years, research done for the shire predicts. The peninsula has long been regarded as a stable population area, which makes the newly calculated growth pattern a bracing challenge for Mornington Peninsula Shire and other authorities responsible for infrastructure such as roads and public transport. The strongest growth would occur on the Port Phillip side from Mornington to Dromana, Safety Beach and Rosebud and across to Fingal and Cape Schanck, stated the recently released demographic forecast undertaken by consultants Informed Decisions. Populations would likely drop in some areas, including Flinders, Shoreham, Point Leo, HMAS Cerberus naval base, Moorooduc and Tuerong. Hinterland villages Red Hill, Merricks and Arthurs Seat would barely grow over the two decades. The average age of peninsula residents would fall slightly in the next few years then rise for a decade before declining sharply, according to graphs that accompany the findings. The forecasts were based on 2011 Census data, applying a different modelling approach from that used by the state government, whose predictions are far less conservative that those used by Informed Decisions. Victoria’s “top-down” approach begins with a statewide forecast that is then divided among regions, sub-regions and finally among

local government areas. The shire and Informed Decisions approach is “bottom-up”, with assumptions taken from a local viewpoint. Prominent among these were the 70–30 split between rural – largely green wedge – and urban land, most recently retained several years ago when councils were invited by now Opposition Leader Matthew Guy (then planning minister) to nominate land that could be moved inside the urban growth boundary. This shire offered none. The peninsula was not a state-designated growth area, being regarded as Melbourne’s “playground”, with population growing by up to 100,000 during summer. Day trippers add substantially to that number. The population forecast worked on assumptions drawn from current trends such as pressure for new residential development, available residential land, and restrictions on development. Another factor considered was the rate at which holiday homes were being occupied as permanent residences. While Peninsula Link freeway had improved life for commuters, it had not improved the lot of people at the end of the freeway and was unlikely to persuade families to buy in the Rye and Sorrento area or move into their holiday home, the report stated. It assured councillors that the relative conservatism of its figures compared with those in the state survey would not disadvantage the peninsula in seeking funding or having its voice heard. New housing would go to neighbouring municipalities designated as growth areas, the report stated.

Mornington News 5 May 2015

AS befits a stoush in the week we marked the centenary of Gallipoli, councillors came out of their trenches with metaphorical bayonets fixed. The action was brisk on a number of fronts. There were casualties, mainly flesh wounds, in a couple of skirmishes. It started even before question time, with a punchy petition from 253 residents living near the proposed Skylift development at Arthurs Seat, stating that the proposal “does not respect the heritage, cultural or landscape values of the Arthurs Seat State Park”. Officers tossed the grenade back: “ There is no mechanism for [the shire] to further review the merits of the proposal,” the petitioners were told tartly; but the shire incurred a deep selfinflicted gash by way of the split infinitive in its response. Then Safety Beach resident Joe Lenzo set off a telling petard: why, he demanded, had shire officers taken no action in seven months on a motion to refinance an $11.465 million superannuation liability over three years and were seeking tonight to rescind that motion in favour of repaying the money over a decade? Surely this was an “undue delay” as defined by section 94A(b) of the Local Government Act, he suggested, for which the CEO was responsible. Finance manager Geoff Emberson came up with a pearler of a response. The resolution didn’t have a specific implementation date, he said. And best practice for loans is to consider interest rates, their movements, and cash flow requirements. The intention from a parameter point of view on dates is that the council will go to tender within this financial year and “probably in the next one or two weeks”. Have you seen footage of battleships making smoke, behind which to hide? Mr Emberson had just blown the verbal equivalent. Consider “a parameter point of view”. Superb gobbledegook. “Next one or two weeks”? Code for “If tonight’s rescission motion fails (it did) we’ll have to get on with it”. A couple of councillors were getting edgy. Did CW detect the “wheep” of a bayonet coming out of its scabbard? Now things started to hot up. CEO Carl Cowie delivered his monthly report to the community – CW’s tip is that this will likely become a quarterly report in time – and over the parapet came Cr Hugh Fraser. He hurled explosive phrases at the report, critiquing its “paucity of information” on such matters as the “assets conversion program”; he directed enfilading fire at the lack of commentary on the “standard financial statements”; he skewered the absence of material on “standard financial reforms”; he called in the artillery on the lack of “cash flow commentary”. Here was a man who knew of what he spoke. This was war, albeit polite, precise and courteous. But packed with TNT. “I had some difficulty in reviewing the financial material that was here,” Cr Fraser concluded. “When might we expect this [missing] material to be provided?”

Mr Cowie invited Mr Emberson to comment. Again, Mr Emberson was adept, invoking the Local Government Act’s minimum requirement on such matters. Etcetera, etcetera, as one would expect from a seasoned bureaucrat. But was it transparent, as Mr Cowie has assured the community he intends to be? “Transparent” must be information that is complete and if necessary made comprehensible via explanatory notes, sometimes a tough task with balance sheets, budgets and the like. Presenting a budget to a board of directors is rather different from letting a community know how you intend to spend their money. Community engagement at that level is a skill to be learned, and practised. With this line of questioning, Cr Fraser had taken the first hill. Much more was to come. Next agenda item was the proposed 2015-16 shire budget, dealt with in more detail on another page. Hostilities erupted in debate over the rescission motion Mr Lenzo’s question covered. Integral to the budget, it needed to be resolved before debate on the budget itself. The issue was $11.465 million the shire was forced to borrow to cover a hole in a superannuation liability to those lucky enough to be in the shire’s “defined benefit” super scheme, closed to new members in 1993. This generous plan pays beneficiaries a defined amount, no matter the state of interest rates or other earning sources the fund might have. Such a debt is dead, unproductive money, to be got rid of quickly, as one gets rid of a painful tooth or a suspicious spot on your arm. But some councillors – Antonella Celi, Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, David Gibb and Anne Shaw – favoured stringing out the pain, arguing that projects benefiting their communities could still be funded out of funds liberated by the lower repayments over the longer term, at the expense of higher total repayments. So ardent did Cr Shaw become in arguing against the three-year payback, listing projects she said would not be delivered and denouncing the betrayal of ratepayers that mayor Bev Colomb asked her to “keep your voice down a little, please”. Cr Shaw replied: “I’m just showing my passion for what I believe in and I’m quite entitled to do that, thank you … I might stand up in a minute if I feel like it.” Cr Celi moved successfully for the list of what could be achieved over the decade-long repayment term to be made public. But the rescission motion itself was lost on the mayor’s casting vote. To CW, devoted follower of the advice “neither a borrower nor a lender be (unless absolutely necessary)”, it was a sensible outcome. He has studied the 10-year projects list. Any urgent matters on it will be promoted up the shire priorities list as necessary. The shire’s ability to deliver services and capital works will not be crippled, as one councillor warned. The sky will not fall in. Expect the sun to rise in the east tomorrow.

Poachers netted in summer crackdown OPERATION Trinity – in which Fisheries Victoria officers patrolled peninsula and bayside beaches over summer targeting shellfish offences in the intertidal zone – has netted a number of offenders. One hundred and seventy two inspections detected 41 offences. These resulted in 25 verbal warnings, 11 official warnings and 28 infringement notices. Four court orders were issued. Fisheries Victoria executive director Travis Dowling said the pending court cases related to the illegal taking of abalone. “Several instances involved alleged offenders taking more than 40 abalone - when the bag limit is five per person. “Three cases involved individuals taking more than 70 abalone - and two with more than 120. “This is a serious concern to Fisheries Victoria. If found guilty, they face imprisonment, fines of up to $75,000, forfeiture of items as well as being banned from fishing.”

Mr Dowling said the operation - from January to March - involved fisheries officers from the peninsula and across Victoria. It was held over weekends at popular fishing spots, including Mornington, Cowes and the Western Port and Port Phillip beaches. He said the peninsula is particularly vulnerable to predation since Peninsula Link gave faster and easier access to reef areas, he said. “Fisheries officers targeted the intertidal zone which is defined as the area starting on the beach at the maximum high water mark to a point where the water is two metres deep at any time. “Officers worked in a variety of ways, patrolling popular areas and talking to anglers and educating them on the rules around the intertidal zone, as well as conducting covert surveillance.” Anyone who sees or suspects illegal fishing activity can call the 24-hour fisheries offence reporting line 133 474.

LETTERS Protect bandicoots

Marinas ahoy

Zoologist Hans Brunner's comments about bandicoot corridors make a lot of sense and I am so glad he had the gumption to speak out ("Corridors along won't save bandicoots", The News, 7/4/15). The southern brown bandicoot is so very vulnerable in today's urban world with its foxes, cats, dogs, cars, housing estates and vegetation clearance. Many people think bandicoots are rats. I live in the northern part of Western Port region near Bayles where there is a small precinct for bandicoots, but they all sadly seem to be killed off as soon as they appear. A person will see a bandicoot in their yard and assume there are hundreds and become blase about them. The Western Port Swamp Landcare Group's response to the federal government regarding the proposed delisting from the endangered list of the bandicoot was that, yes, there are some bandicoots but with predators and the like, they are unlikely to survive. No one knows their numbers so there needs to be a proper count of the bandicoots to determine if there are viable populations before considering delisting. As Mr Brunner stated, we need large predatorproof fenced reserves so they can access cool gullies in summer and be able to spread out in winter. Sue Davies, Bayles

Sounds like there is going to be a renewed push for “safe boat harbours” on the Mornington Peninsula. The new Marine Precincts Strategy developed by Mornington Peninsula Shire will start the process, claiming to have widespread community support. What rubbish. More marina proposals on the way folks. Neale Adams, Mornington

Toilet over the top

GREG Hunt [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] defends the federal government’s $4 million to fund a “consensus center” with a climate skeptic on the helm [at the University of Western Australia]. Here on Western Port in low lying areas like Balnarring, Somers, parts of Hastings and many areas over on the Port Phillip side of the Mornington Peninsula we are being abandoned to sea level rises from climate change by the actions of the Abbott government. Is the “honourable member” really speaking up for his electorate and Australians and islander populations who live near the sea? I think not. He and the government seem to be lackeys of the carbon lobby, which is only interested in profits at any cost. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

I am a resident ratepayer of Mornington Peninsula Shire. I have no vested interests with any community group, builder or council person. I'm just someone concerned about runaway costs. Earlier this year the council announced it had tendered and awarded the building of a new unisex toilet block at Mothers Beach, Mornington (a lovely spot). It replaces an old toilet block that had been demolished so all the services were present and the site was cleared. The winning tender was around $500,000 $83,000 a seat. I phoned the council and found out that there were to be six toilets and two outside showers. I questioned the cost and was told "it is going to be a lovely building". I was told there were three tenders and that it was a commercial job. Yesterday, I saw the site and can barely believe how the building can cost so much. It is a simple base grey block construction on a slab surrounded by pathway. It appears to be small. The whole thing is made to look larger by a tall chalet-style pitched roof with some faux stonework finishes and blockwork that is to be painted or rendered before completion. The building will look nice, but is costing $500,000. It has got to be smaller than a family home. How the hell does it cost that half a million? Builders around here advertise building a three bedroom family home for less than $150,000. How can a toilet block, with all the services already there, cost three times as much? Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm out of touch, but I believe this stuff is why our rates are so high. If council people were spending their own money they would be far more cautious. There will be some outsourced tender mob, the architect, the draftsman, the engineer, the landscaper and the builder. This is where the ratepayers’ money goes. Ron Musgrove, Dromana

Need for signs THE taxi rank at Frankston station is very confusing. There is no taxi rank sign or seats especially for taxi passengers to wait on. There are several seats near the start of the rank, but often people just sit there and watch the world go by. Taxi drivers say those using the seats are occasionally moved on by police. It’s all very confusing for a visitor to Frankston who arrives by public transport. The existing “to the beach” sign needs a further sign directing visitors to travel along Wells St which eventually runs straight ahead on to the beach. The council should try harder to make the taxi rank area more appealing to visitors. Arthur Hawley, Seaford

Sea level threatens

Lion clears the air AN apology. The article ‘Emma seeks national award’ (The News 28/4/15), contained a misleading statement. Emma Wiggins was sponsored by the Lions Club of Mt Eliza, not Mornington Lions Club, and is its candidate in the national finals. At no time was any misinformation intentional or any due credit denied. Eric Morse, Mornington Lions

Council alert THANK god for people like Joe Lenzo, of Safety Beach, and for the efforts of reporter David Harrison to keep us abreast of council boo boos that often never see the light of day (‘Shire looks at geothermal for pool’, The News, 28/4/16). How on earth did a proposal for such a regressive charge on our rates ever get to the stage where the council was about to impose it? Mr Lenzo ought to be awarded a medal for his efforts in proving that the proposed rate was stupidly biased and would be a great imposition on those ratepayers least able to afford it. It doesn’t take much intelligence to see he is right. His figures showed people on the highest

rates would be paying an increase of 0.37 per cent while those lower down the ladder faced an increase of more than 500 per cent. Who were the council officers who actually put this idea forward in the first place? I presume they were well-paid staffers. CEO Carl Cowie has ordered a review of the proposal, and so he should. He should never have allowed such a ridiculous proposal to get as far as it did. We expect a better performance than this from the head of our council. Eric Page, Dromana

Budget blues

Australia has “in theory” a form of government in which power resides in the people, and the government is ruled by elected politicians according to law. Our elected representatives (who do not represent us, but who instead rule us) tell us economic growth is down and unemployment is up and that they, the born to rule career politicians, are going to make us “take our medicine” in the form of brutal austerity. I recall that last time the born to rule career politicians were going to make us “take our medicine” it was in the form of Workchoices. These are the same politicians who told us government had no business propping up the automotive industry with an annual injection of $500 million, an industry that generated more than $170 billion of economic activity and thousands of jobs, annually. Why can’t government collect $500m in taxes on $170 billion of economic activity? And, how is importing all our vehicles going to benefit our balance of trade? These are the same politicians who told Australian ship builders they were excluded from bidding on building ships for the Royal Australian Navy, and that Defence was buying two new replenishment ships offshore for $1.5 billion. More taxpayers’ money, jobs, technology and skills gone overseas. How is importing our warships going to benefit our balance of trade? These politicians are intent on spending $20 billion on Japanese-built submarines to replace locally built Collins Class boats as the navy’s key strike weapon beyond 2030. More taxpayers’ money, jobs, technology and skills gone overseas. How is importing our submarines going to benefit our balance of trade? The politicians’ mania for so-called free trade (at any price) means cars made in Thailand arrive in Australia with little or no import duty, while cars made in Australia and exported to Thailand attract 45 per cent duty in Thailand. How come our beef producers have to wait decades to access the Unites States’ market, but US corporations are now running Aussie prisons? These career politicians know that the cost of housing is hyper nflated and unaffordable because of cashed up foreigners being allowed to out-bid Aussies. What do they do about it? Nothing, because their bankster mates like it this way. At the same time, the Aussie taxpayer is paying off investment properties in Canberra for the born to rule career politicians. Is it any wonder that economic growth is down and unemployment is up? It is very clear that our politicians rule according to their political ideology. They obviously do not manage Australia for the benefit of the people, in whom power is supposed to reside. How do we, the people, in whom power is supposed to reside, put a stop to the criminal abuse being inflicted on us by politicians? Mick Doyle, Dromana

THE draft budget debate at the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting of 27 April was quite interesting. You will soon be hearing from some of our councillors that the reason community projects are not being included in the budget is because other councillors were not willing to allocate our $11.5 million superannuation debt over 11 years rather than pay it off in three years as approved by council (and not acted on by officers) seven months ago. These councillors are looking for a pot of gold that would exempt them for their fiscal responsibility to make the hard decisions and decide which project gets done and which does not. They are looking for immediate gratification and are willing to shackle us with 11 years of pain. They actually went so far as to try to affix blame to our new CEO and the interim chief financial officer (doing a great job, so far) for providing the “advice” that we should be burdened with this debt for 11 years. With rate capping inevitable, the last thing we need to do is be saddled with a fixed interest payment on this debt for another 11 years. So, as they try to hoax you with a campaign of tactical disinformation, keep in mind that they, not the CEO, not the officers, are the only ones responsible for which projects are included in the budget. Fortunately, we do have some councillors that have the backbone to own up to this responsibility and make the tough decisions. They understand that their responsibilities do not include looking for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The only reason that community projects presented in the preliminary budget submissions to the shire (closure date 10/2/15) are not in the budget is the willingness of some of our councillors to skirt their responsibilities and, instead, try to abdicate their obligations through subterfuge and smoke screens. Oh, goodness gracious, I almost forgot: When the community submissions were made, the debt was to be paid off over three years. It was only after the submissions were made that this sneaky little 11-year ploy was made. It is time for the shire to change its budgeting model from top secret (no one knows anything about anything until it is too late to make meaningful changes) to participatory budgeting (where everyone knows everything about everything during the process and all contribute to the result). Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Ships at war: One of the story board displays at the library.

Boards tells war stories at libraries TWO story board displays on show at Mornington and Hastings libraries will interest the history buffs. The AE2 display – about a Royal Australian Navy E-class submarine which fought against Turkish forces early in 1915 – is on show at the Hastings library. Assigned to the Dardanelles campaign, it was the first submarine to penetrate the waterway and enter the Sea of Marmara with orders to “run amok” inside Turkish territory. The crew of AE2 carried out their orders for

five days before mechanical faults forced her to surface. She was torpedoed and then scuttled by her crew who were captured. AE2 was the only RAN vessel lost to enemy action during World War I. Western Port Oberon Association president Max Bryant said the AE2 had a strong connection with Hastings as one of the former crew was buried in the Hastings cemetery. The Gallipoli display is on show at Mornington library in Queen St.

Bird watch: Coloured flags attached ruddy turnstones, above, have provided useful information about their global wanderings. Plans are now being made to for satellitetracked transmitters grey plovers, right, to unwravel the mystery of their annual migration. Pictures: Geoff Gates and Ady Boyle (plovers)

Appeal launched to plot plover flight

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au WHEN a small flock of grey plovers takes off from Flinders next year little would the birds know that their progress is being monitored 24 hours a day. The movements of each of up to five birds carrying a transmitter will be tracked for two years, probably over a distance of 48,000 kilometres. Each year, after spending summer in Australia, the plovers take flight for their breeding grounds in Siberia and Alaska. This pattern of following the sun is not unusual, but little is known about the grey plovers’ journey and the Australasian Wader Studies Group (AWSG) has launched a public appeal

to raise nearly $18,000 to buy transmitters and satellite time to track up to five of the long range birds. Late last week the crowdfunding project listed on the Pozible website had pledges for $6146, or 34 per cent of the target, from 75 supporters. The donations are tax deductible and attract “rewards”, ranging from a shorebirds booklet (over $25) and memberships of bird groups (over $50 and $74) to a 50cm by 60cm photo of shorebirds (over $150) to having one of the tracked birds named after the donor ($2500). An estimated 12,000 grey plovers make the trip to Australia each year and part of the tracking project is to discover why these visitors are mostly females. The birds arrive each September and depart in May and the AWSG hopes next season to catch at least

three birds in northern Australia and fit them with transmitters. The grey plovers differ from most migratory shorebirds in that they are believed to travel in smaller groups and mystery surrounds their migratory routes and stopover sites. Penny Johns, of Flinders, said engraved flags and geolocators had been used to gain information about other annual visitors to Western Port, such as ruddy turnstones and red-necked stints. She said the stints were “a site-faithful species, returning year after year after year to the same beach”. One bird tagged at Flinders had been returning each year since `1997. “The engraved leg flags and more latterly the geolocators have given us a lot of important information about this species, the route they take to the northern hemisphere, where they stop

to refuel on migration and where they breed in the arctic,” Ms Johns said. “They fly non-stop, 5700 kilometres to Taiwan in their first hop when they leave our shores in April. “Their numbers are in decline, probably due to the destruction of their habitat in the flyway, but also may be due to increasing disturbance on our beaches. In 1997 there were 150 in the summer at Flinders, now there are around 30.” Ms Johns said it was important to find out more about the “astonishing journey” being made by grey plovers. The wader studies group says it does not know the exact locations of grey plover breeding sites or where they stop over sites “for refueling” north of the Yellow Sea. “We cannot assess the threats they face when they move north past the

Yellow Sea,” it says on the Pozible website. “Grey plover numbers in Australia are declining, so we need to identify these threats to their migration quickly. Their continued survival depends on these unknown but critical sites, but we cannot assess or improve the conservation status of these sites until they have been located.” The group says attaching lightweight solar powered satellite trackers will allow it “to build knowledge and data in real time that will help inform what can be done to help them survive in the future”. The flight and plight of the grey plover will be able to be monitored on home computers. To find out more about the AWSG’s project or to pledge a donation go to the Pozible website and search for “grey plover”.

More sand for beach ‘waste of resources’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au A STATE government plan to bring more sand to Rosebud Beach near the pier is a waste of time and resources as it will disappear like it did five years ago, says Port Phillip Conservation Council. The so-called “beach renourishment” has been proposed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (formerly DPI and before that DSE) and it is inviting residents to an information session later this month. Kelly Crosthwaite, DELWP’s regional director Port Phillip, says the beach has “depleted over time and will be widened between the pier and cluster of stormwater drains about 170 metres west of the pier”. “It is also proposed that three timber groynes be constructed on the beach to hold the sand in place. DELWP is working with Mornington Peninsula Shire and a coastal engineer, and will hold an information session so people can meet the project team,” she said. But the conservation council says government contractors placed sand on the beach and built a sandbag wall almost five years ago at a cost of $250,000 but the sand disappeared. The work was to repair damage done in April 2009 when storms and high tides blasted the beach as well as others around Port Phillip. At the time, the environment department said the work would create a beach 160 metres long by 10 metres wide. The sandbag wall remains. The sand plan is connected to shire

plans to spend $2.25 million on the Jetty Rd foreshore precinct including a boardwalk on top of the sandbags and stormwater outlets. The shire wants Jetty Rd to be a “shared street” for cars and pedestrians, and have an “outdoor dining precinct”. Other works will include a new play area, “public plaza and pier forecourt and waterfront deck”, promenade, paths, fitness stations, sprint track,

“event servicing place” and one “timber groyne along the pier to protect the beach” (now three groynes). Len Warfe of the conservation council said he was against “any further commercialisation of Jetty Rd by the creation of the plaza” as it would “further increase traffic in this already busy area”. “We oppose the proposed timber boardwalk on top of the sandbags and

the proposed ‘waterfront’ deck on top of stormwater pipes. The sandbag wall has done nothing to restore the beach, despite claims by the environment department,” he said. “The beach never reappeared but the expensive sandbags are still there with water lapping against them most of the time. To build a boardwalk on top of this failed exercise will be another failed exercise and only adds to the

underlying issue of piecemeal failed mitigation works over many years and the threats posed by inevitable sea level rise. In this high-maintenance seaside location, the area will inevitably deteriorate into an even bigger eyesore than it currently is and demand massive ongoing maintenance expenditure – something councils and governments increasingly have trouble committing to.” He said there was ample evidence groynes interrupt natural coastal processes and will fail. “An excellent example is at the site in question – the stormwater pipes acts as a groyne, trapping sand to the west and depleting sand to the east where the sandbag wall was built in 2010. Similar examples of groynes failing to perform as beach stabilisers exist around Port Phillip.” Kelly Crosthwaite said “beaches are a naturally dynamic environment and coastal erosion is a process impacting beaches around the world”. “Renourishment is one of the most effective methods we have of protecting foreshores and has been undertaken in Port Phillip since the 1980s. It provides a storm buffer for coastal infrastructure and helps to create wider, sandy beaches.” She said that depending on weather, renourishment would start in late May and take about six to eight weeks.  The information session is at Rosebud Library, McDowell St, 5.306.30pm Wednesday 22 April.

Everything you need to help you succeed is included!

OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our physical activities, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common. What many people aren’t aware of is that our feet can affect and cause problems in the rest of our bodies including ankles, knees, hips and backs. Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored. Problems left untreated almost always get worse but there is often a simple solution, if you get the correct diagnosis and treatment. Experienced Musculoskeletal Podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics says that people often endure painful conditions for far too long, most of which can be easily overcome. “Even patients who’ve been told there is no solution or that surgery and medications are their only options, we are now able to treat with great success,” says Dr. Kavanagh. “I know what it’s like to suffer foot and leg pain but you don’t have to put up with it. With the right diagnosis and treatment from an experienced practitioner who addresses the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms, you can achieve successful long-term outcomes.” If you suffer from heel or arch pain, ankle, shin or Achilles concerns, keen pain, bunions,

you achieve your health, fitness and weight loss goals. Curves Mornington is a Curves Complete club, offering Curves Complete our Weight Management program, Body Basic Sessions and Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness Sessions. So no matter your age, fitness level, size or shape, if your goal is to get fit, lose weight, recovery from injury, manage pain or address flexibility issues, Curves Mornington has a program that can work for you. Please drop into their friendly centre or call us on 5975 5526 to book in for a no obligation consultation today.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Balmoral house open to the public Compiled by Melissa Walsh IN our report of the Langwarrin concert we omitted to state that Mr Reid contributed two songs in well balanced style. *** A PALTRY robbery was perpetrated some time on Saturday night last, at the Bay View Hotel, when the gas slot in the billiard room was broken open, and the contents, amounting to about 22/ were abstracted. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Football Club acknowledges with thanks the following donations —-Mr Hunt £2 2s, Dr Maxwell £1 1s, Mrs Jacobs 10s 6d, Mr S. Lawrey 10 6d. Collected by Mr J. Lambert—£1 15s 9d. *** TENDERS will be received until Thursday, 13th May, by the Department of Public Works for repairs to the jetty and approach at Portsea, and also repairs to jetty at Frankston, and up to the 20th May for additions to jetty at Stony Point. *** WE have been requested to intimate that owing to all the tickets not being yet disposed of for the raffle for the Eiderdown Quilt in aid of the Belgian Fund the drawing has been postponed till Saturday 12th June. *** MR A. S. Krouse has been appointed local agent at Tyabb for Nobel-

Glasgow Explosives for land clearing and subsoiling, and will be pleased to afford all information in connection with the working of the explosive. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, and will offer on behalf of Mr H. Shepherd, medium draught mare, and on account of Mr Campbell, dray and harness, wire netting, potatoes, bacon and ducks. *** MR J. E. Jones, shire secretary, was again in his place at the council meeting on Thursday, after having spent an enjoyable three weeks’ holiday in Tasmania. In our advertising columns will be found the days on each week in which he will visit the different centres in the shire for collection of rates and other money due. *** A SCRATCH match between Somerville and Tyabb was played on the ground of the former, which resulted in a win for the locals by 45 points to 25 points. The goal kickers for Somerville were Lewis 3, Dickson 1, Lang 2. Tyabb—Longmuir 2, Lonsdale 1. Best players for Somerville were, Dickson, Woollard, Barber, Lewis. Percy Thornell, and L. Gregory. The best for Tyabb were, Lonsdale, Baker, Longmuir, Slocombe Hodgins, and Robinson. *** AT Thursday’s meeting of the

Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, the request of the Frankston Gas Co to support them in their application to the Governor-in-Council for an order to permit them to install an electric light throughout the Shire was favorably considered, and a representative of the company will visit the different centres shortly, with a view of seeing what support they are likely to receive from the residents. *** BALMORAL House, Frankston, will be the scene of festivity and gaiety this (Saturday) evening, as the proprietress intends throwing open the grounds to the public and having a Continental Concert. A good programme will be given, beside side-shows. Refreshments will also be provided. The proceeds are to be devoted to the Belgian fund. One shilling will be charged for admission and as the object is a worthy one there will doubtless be a good attendance. *** THE hon. treasurer of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund (Dr Plowman) desires to acknowledge from the Frankston Ladies Collecting Committee the receipt of the sum of £15 as a first contribution. This handsome addition to the general fund will be probably supplemented by a donation every month, as we understand the ladies are continuing their collecting work with undiminished energy. *** AN accident happened to J. and H.

were at home to four players from the Government Audit Office, Melbourne. The final scores were 48 points to 43, the visitors proving their superiority by a few games. Messrs Watson, Utber, Rogers, Wheaten and Dr Maxwell played for Frankston. Afternoon tea was much appreciated and enjoyed by visitors and players, being provided by the ladies of the local club. The next match is to take place on June 7th at the Frankston courts.

Cottier and J. Mills on Sunday evening which fortunately resulted in nothing more than a few bruises and a severe shaking. It appears that the party had been to Mornington, and on their return as they were driving down the street in Frankston the animal suddenly commenced to kick and plunge violently, and before long H.Cottier and Mills were thrown out. J. Cottier, who was driving, held on a little longer, but he ultimately met the same fate. The horse continued kicking and after smashing the jinker pretty considerably, freed itself from the shafts, and departed.

*** THE Life of a Bush Nurse. The testimony from high officers in the Army Medical Corps at the front makes it clear that in personality, as well as in training, the Australian nurse is above the average. But all the capable and all the brave nurses have not left these shores. One particularly able branch of the nursing profession, that is, the Australian Bush Nurses, is described in the May issue of ‘Everylady’s Journal’, just to hand, and the tale arouses one’s admiration for this noble band of women workers. The position of bush nurse is one which has its hardships, and even its perils, but judging from the account in ‘Everylady’s Journal’ it is one which has its glorious compensations, and its humours as well as its sorrows. The article is illustrated with a number of very fine photographs, and brightened with many capital stories.

*** THREE times matches have been played on the Frankston courts lately, the locals coming out on top on two occasions and losing the last match by five points. A good deal of interest has been taken and a very pleasant time spent, the visitors expressing the hope that it will not be long before again trying conclusions. In the first match (gents doubles), which was played on Saturday, 24th April, the locals had an easy win. Dr Maxwell, Messrs Utber, Jackson and Rogers played for Frankston. On Monday, April 26th, eight players journeyed from Caulfieid which resulted in another win for Frankston, the final scores being 80 points to 60. The players for this match were Misses Gregory, Young and Reynolds, and Messrs Utber, Cummins, Rogers and Jackson. Last Saturday, May lst, the locals

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Frog day afternoon: painting myself into a corner By Stuart McCullough I HAVE no idea what we were thinking. Neither of us had started the day declaring that we needed to find and purchase the worst piece of art in the known universe. Particularly one that featured as its subject that most mysterious and mythical of creatures: the frog. But by the time the sun had been swallowed by the earth, we had done exactly that. I can only attribute our decision to part with an amount of money in exchange for a painting that neither of us liked to look at, much less wanted to own, as being the result of panic on my part. I’m not even sure of its official title. But if I had to guess, I’d say it was something along the lines of Frog Conference, as it features four amphibians sitting on lily pads in a swamp, presumably discussing matters of importance such as the impact of the high Australian dollar on the export market or, possibly, whether anyone from Team Joel has a cinder’s chance in hell of winning The Voice. Some works of art are hypnotic; they make it almost impossible to look away. This one defied convention and seemed to actively spurn eye contact. How we became the owners of this abomination says a lot about how eager we are not to disappoint others. We were driving through the countryside when we spotted a small bluestone building promising both “art” and “craft”. This, as things transpired, was putting things far too highly. However, it’s true to say that a store of this kind will rarely take an entirely honest approach to its contents. It’s enough to say that you never see shops offering “bad pottery” or “dud paintings”.

PAGE 60

Mornington News 5 May 2015

The warning signs were obvious, even if the one at the front of the shop was not. As we entered, the guy behind the counter looked surprised if not a little alarmed to see us. It was immediately apparent that we were

the first people to step inside for quite some time. A small stereo sat on the counter and the sounds of Pour Some Sugar On Me by pop-metal poodles Def Leppard trickled out. The walls were lined with shelves and gave you

the sense that the room was starting to close in on itself. Every available surface was covered with objects, all of which were equally hideous to the eye. There were pottery frogs of every conceivable shape, size and dimension. It was as if we had stumbled into some kind of small-town cult where amphibians were regarded as deities to be worshipped. And, of course, turned into pottery figurines that sold for $12 a pop. Having been initially alarmed at our appearance, the gentleman at the front counter had now decided to talk up the place, asking us what we thought. A thousand descriptors sprang to mind, but the only one to escape my lips was, “It’s lovely”. A sign hanging from one of the shelves declared that if you break something, you’ve bought it. For a moment I thought this was an invitation. Perhaps others had been so outraged by mediocre ceramic amphibians that they were unable to contain their anger, smashing pottery frogs to spare others from a fate worse than Def Leppard before being hauled away. He began to follow us as we walked through the store. Whether he had us pegged as potential shoplifters or simply hadn’t seen other people in such a long time and had forgotten how to interact, I couldn’t say. Whatever the reason, it created a pressure-cooker environment, one in which we felt compelled to do anything other than leave empty-handed. Pottery was clearly out of the question – what possible use could I have for a ceramic frog? Whereas a painting of several frogs hanging out and discussing the weather is something

you can use every day. After a couple of laps to try and lose the shop assistant, we settled for a painting. To suggest that it was possibly the best of a bad bunch doesn’t really do it justice. I was probably holding it, thinking to myself how extremely vulgar and – to be frank – incredibly brown the piece was when the man who ran the store asked whether he should run it through the register. For a moment, I couldn’t speak. Perhaps there was a frog in my throat. Given the circumstances, it would be no surprise if one of those little beggars had managed to slip in and take up residence in my oesophagus. “Thanks,” was all I managed to utter. Like lightning, the man had whipped the painting out of my hands and was wiping away the cobwebs from the register. It was too late; I was stuck. When we got home a few days later, Frog Conference was given pride of place. Which, in our house, just so happens to under the bed along with the emergency toolkit, some old sneakers and the free weights I no longer use. It was by chance that I stumbled across it a few days ago. It remains as stubbornly ugly as the day we first bought it. Oscar Wilde once wrote that “all art is quite useless”. I suspect he wrote those words while staring at a print of Frog Conference and listening to Pour Some Sugar On Me. I think he had a point. I have no idea what to do with the thing. My fear is that, some time in the future, I will overlook someone’s birthday and need a gift at short notice. Should I ever give you a painting of a bunch of frogs, let me simply say in advance: better you than me. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Mornington News 5 May 2015

A Grain of Salt THERE has to be question marks over our man Dan. A public holiday on Grand Final eve (unnecessary/ silly) was surely the “good bloke” syndrome at play, likewise bringing forward the non-smoking outside schools, government offices and hospitals to April when already set down for July? A man chasing affection from whom he considers to represent the majority, or an honest Joe? Not forgetting the East West “mandate” claim with most voters casting for a party’s policies or against Denis Napthine. We move on, or underground Swanston Street. When I say “we” I mean “they”. Anyone south of Moorabbin, at this stage anyway, do not exist. Don’t forget those firefighters Danny boy, it’s not just fires they can put out. Nice glasses. *** Thank God for football and Collingwood’s temporary good form. When the Canberra crooks took their 6-week break we welcomed it. “A double treat” we thought. Alas no. There was Tony doing his best to frighten us daily in the guise of concern, for us; wars and spies stuff; Anzac week full on; police carrying guns, the ever increasing possibility of danger, helicopters hovering overhead. I did one of my famous surveys: “Why are we sending another 300 soldiers to train untrainable Arabian Nights? Nobody’s nose knows?” Popular response -“Piss off!” Charming. Mostly Essendon, Carlton or Hawthorn supporters? I never thought I’d appreciate Midsomer Murders. *** Anyone can write. Practice makes perfect, right? True up to a point. Many thousands of books out there, mostly rubbish, thus establishing

anyone can indeed write but very few can be good writers. Anyone can paint, anyone can act? Certain famous celebrities stage and screen are not necessarily good at anything, despite their status. Yoko Ono, Lee Marvin singing? Shaun Micallef, a brilliant satirist, writer, and now a member of Creative Victoria is an actor; not necessarily a good actor; maybe a good performer? Magpie Nathan Buckley knows his football, speaks well, a coach, but a good coach? As Clint says “A man’s got to know his limitations”. Me? I was a good table tennis player, in E Grade, VTTA, 1970s. *** Crooks? They’re never far away on any given subject. Yes, even on genital activities, the last line of defence on unmentionables; probably a good thing considering it’s firmly on the minds of many men day and night. The AMI (Advanced Medical Institute) were supposedly specialists in erectile dysfunction charging some $4,500 for treatment with the promise of a cure? I was lucky. I held off forking out until I could find a suitable courageous partner. I failed, again, much like the AMI lot. Ordered to pay compensation. And my $4500? Almost gone, on antidepressants and cigarettes. *** In this age of metadata we must be ever vigilant. My friends at ASIO are hovering in Canberra day and night poring over every word, more likely keywords, and computerised pop-ups. Pondering whether or not to send in those super-efficient Commonwealth Police to demand my computer in a 3am raid, check for porn pictures, anti-Australian sentiment, left wing bias. Fortunately I’ve taken a strong stand on porn.

I cut it out completely four days ago. In its place I draw pictures, with crayons. *** It depends on my particular funny bone. Nothing can give a blanket satisfaction to all. Some understand too little, some too much. Some will see an actor in a movie and he’s damned for life. Other literally judge a book by its cover; likewise assess a person by the style of dress. I was particularly amused by the lady who wrote “I’ll never shop at Woolworths again” referring to the use of Anzac marketing, seemingly oblivious to our governments, the RSL, Channel 9, the newspapers and numerous others who have done the same thing increasingly over the past 10 years building to a crescendo on this 100 year anniversary. Who decides where the line is drawn? *** I for one will not have a bad word said against the lovelies at Centrelink. Yes, sometimes referred to as Gestapo-land, but let’s not blame the lovely skeleton staffers. A service for older Australians! Along comes a text via your mobile telephone to contact them on any changed circumstances; important things like winning $15 at the races despite no effect on your pension. Your choices are clear: ring them or go to Centrelink or risk your pension stopping. Telephone, no problem. Answer a series of questions getting to the point of being told “a 50 minute wait”. So? You’ve got something better to do? Travel to Centrelink by car at a cost in excess of the $15, or bus if you have a 4 hour “nothing on” space in your day, wait another hour (if you’re lucky), and clear the matter

By Cliff Ellen up. True, but they are so nice about it. Our government at work - caring for we older Australians. *** My years as an actor, well, a wouldbe actor, taught me how to appreciate creativity in its purest form, which is why I so admire our Prime Minister’s handling of the royal commission into union corruption headed by two of his most reliable followers with already two extensions and currently set for the end of this year. It’s not finished yet, the creative process takes time and

millions of dollars. Expect the final damning report some six months before the next election. *** Royal Military College, Duntroon, where leaders are made; or indoctrinated, depending on your point of view...“It’s coming” mumbled the drunkard sailor to his ladyfriend, in a state of glorious anticipation; obviously referring to Joe’s 2015 May budget...Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.

Pythons’ run continues PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt PINES remains undefeated at the top of the Peninsula Division ladder after beating Edithvale-Aspendale in a tight contest on Saturday. The Pythons have now won four of four matches, however, are yet to play the big three in Mt Eliza, Frankston YCW and Mornington. The true test of this football team will come when it tackles the powerhouse sides of the competition. The Pythons tackle Mornington this weekend and follow up with the Stonecats the week after. Only then will we know how much this side has improved. On Saturday, the Pythons trailed at half time by three points before booting five goals to three after the main change to record a 12.16 (88) to 11.7 (73) victory. Taylor Strachan was a stand out performer for the Pythons with two goals and some great work around the ground while Aaron Edwards and former Dromana onballer Paul McLeanWilson also kicked a couple. Mark Mullins and Steve Mannix flew the flag for the Eagles while Matt Clark was solid again with two goals. Langwarrin desperately needed to win after a poor showing against Pines and drawing a game they should have won against Edithvale last week. On Saturday the Kangas were up against Bonbeach and after a five goal to one first quarter, they were in control from that point. The final margin was 39 points, 16.8 (104) to 10.5 (65). Sean Herdman was superb in attack with five goals while Gerard Brown and Kieran Albanese booted three each. Albanese has been on the brink of senior selection for two seasons, however, needed to develop a defensive side to his game. He achieved that on Saturday, which would have pleased coach Gavin Artico. Jayden Grose was back to his brilliant best for the Roos and Ricki Johnston continues arguably his best season. Shane Paterson is also starting to get into the groove after a lay-off. In sad news for the Kangas, multiple B&F winner Daniel ‘Bluey’ Wehner has retired. Wehner played his 150th

game against Edithvale. At training through the week leading up to Saturday’s game, he received a corked thigh. The cork caused Acute Compartment Syndrome, which is where a vessel ruptures and bleeds in a small space, causing enormous pressure and even damaging/killing muscle in some instances. He was rushed to hospital and his wound was ‘slashed’ to eliminate the pressure. Check out the Toe Punt Facebook Page to see the photographs. Owen Hulett booted a couple of goals and worked tirelessly for the Sharks and Gary Carpenter and Jackson Casey were superb also. Seaford is in big, big trouble. On Saturday the Tigers went in as favourites against Chelsea but were restricted to just five goals and were smashed. Despite suffering from a broken finger, Gulls’ coach Brent Guerra played and led the charge. The Gulls booted five goals to zip in the opening quarter and won 11.15 (81) to 5.14 (44). Matty Baxter booted three and Ryan Stewart and Curtis Bywater two each for the Gulls while Todd Gardiner and Rory Gregg dominated in the middle and around the ground. Rourke Fischer was again Seaford’s best. Surely he’ll be at Collingwood in the VFL in the coming weeks. He’ll be a massive loss to Seaford though. Dean Williamson also flew the flag for the Tigers yet again and Ben Crowe and Chris Fortnam just rackedup touches. The Tigers get enough of the footy but they just don’t have those forward targets. The struggle will continue. Frankston YCW didn’t play on Satuirday but they will be without stars Ash Eames and Anthony Barry for a number of weeks.

Hillmen beat reigning premiers NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt RED Hill have now knocked over the two grand final sides of last season after beating Sorrento on Saturday in Nepean Division. The Hillmen now sit in fourth position on the ladder as one of four teams who have won three matches this season. Rosebud, who has played five games, sits on top of the ladder while Rye, who has played four games, sits in second spot. Hastings is the only undefeated team in the competition. It has won all three of its games. On Saturday at David MacFarlane Reserve, Red Hill was wearing its white neutral colours. At half time the Hillmen trailed by two points, however, booted four goals to two in the third quarter to open up a 14 point break. The Hillmen peppered the goals in the final quarter too but inaccuracy (2.5 to 2.3) cost them an even more convincing win. The final score was 10.13 (73) to 8.9 (57). Small forward Jayden Pain was a menace for Sorrento, booting three goals, while key forwards Jarred Eames and Michael Chaplin booted two goals each. The Sharks went into the game without coach Troy Schwarze, who is overseas for three weeks. Paul Wintle and Michael Mock were outstanding for the Hillmen while

Seamus Thomson continued his outstanding season. Myles Pitt, who is due to go overseas soon, booted three goals for the Sharks and worked tirelessly, while Jon Croad and Tyrren Head were also up and about. Crib Point went into their match against Tyabb on Saturday without their coach. Duane Annable was at his sister’s wedding.

This meant that skipper Brad Arnold took the reigns. He would have been happy with the Pies’ four-quarter performance, booting 17.21 (123) to beat Tyabb 5.2 (32). Luke Herrington was the key contributor in front of goals for the Pies with four goals while Matt Sloper, usually known for his defensive work, found himself forward and finished with three goals.

Matthew Wappett was also a handful for the Yabbies with three goals while Jon Flack booted two in his first game for the season. Annable told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that if his side could be “thereabouts” at the halfway mark of the season, he was confident that they could make a run for the finals. “It is tough in a 16 round season to make a late run but I think given our poor pre-season with injuries to key players, they will be up and about in the second half of the season. “I’d like to think that our best is still good enough to match it with the best in the competition,” said Annable. Jake Anderson was Tyabb’s only multiple goal kicker while Justin Volk and James Cottrell collected the top votes. Rye was made to work hard right to the final siren to shake off a persistent Frankston Bombers. The Demons trailed at quarter time but hit back with a five goal second quarter to lead by eight points at the main break. The Bombers regained the lead in the third term before Rye booted five goals to one in the last to win 15.13 (103) to 11.15 (81). Andrew Dean booted four goals for the winners and Kris Bardon and Dean Millhouse booted a couple each. Ryan Mullet was dominant for the Demons, while Adam Kirkwood and Nathan Henley also got plenty of the footy. The Demons went into the game without ruckmen Simon Taylor and Rhett Sutton.

Rye coach Josh Moore’s three-quarter time speech got the hairs on the back of the neck standing on end. It worked, they dominant the final 30 minutes of the match. Devon Meadows’ coach Glenn Michie was left wondering what could have been after their 46 point thrashing at the hands of Rosebud. After winning in round one and pushing Sorrento to the line two weeks ago, Michie had five players unavailable due to two of them going to a music festival, two overseas on holiday and one player at a wedding. Regardless of that however, the side that ran out for the Panthers was more than capable of kicking at least one goal in the first half. At half time, Rosebud led 7.9.51 to 0.2.2. The Panthers outscored the Buds in the second half but still went down 13.14 (92) to 7.4 (46). Phillip Raso, Gavin Kerr and Steve McInnes were the best for the Panthers while Rob Forrest and Chris Dew dominated for Rosebud. Former Frankston Dolphins’ skipper Paul Kennedy also made his debut for the Buds on Saturday. Hastings had 35 scoring shots to Dromana’s 20 on Saturday but only managed a 14.21 (105) to 12.8 (80) victory. Luke Hewitt and Steve Robb starred for the Blues, along with Taylor Stratton, while Dan and Sam Guerts were very good for the Tigers. Sam Fowler also booted another four goals for Dromana.

Toyota unveils the new-look Camry Toyota Australia has unveiled the last model to be built at its Altona manufacturing plant; the new-look Camry. Along with the facelift Aurion, the new-look Camry and Camry Hybrid will be in production until the company stops manufacturing at the end of 2017. Having built more than 3.2 million Toyota vehicles locally since 1963, this marks the end of an era in the Australian automotive industry. During a special ceremony for employees and key stakeholders, Toyota Australia President Dave Buttner vowed that the plant’s last car would be the best global car. “We’re extremely proud to launch the newlook Camry,” Mr Buttner said. “It’s the culmination of almost four years’ hard work and is the biggest mid-cycle update we’ve ever embarked on. “Although this will be the last car we build in Australia, we have vowed that it will be the best. That means we are aiming to achieve the best safety, quality and efficiency results when compared to other Camry-manufacturing plants around the world. “Our team members have already been working extremely hard. I have no doubt that this will be our best ever vehicle and will leave a long-lasting legacy of our time as a vehicle manufacturer in Australia.”

Mr Buttner said that the exterior of the newlook Camry has undergone a significant transformation compared to the current model. “This is truly the boldest Camry yet, with exciting, dynamic styling that is sure to turn heads,” Mr Buttner said. “We have been careful not to compromise style over substance and have maintained all the traditional strengths that current buyers love.” The total investment for the new-look Camry is $108 million, which includes $23.6 million from the Federal Government and a contribution from the Victorian Government. The plant expects to build approximately 90,000 vehicles this year, which equates to around 420 units per day. Approximately 70 per cent of these vehicles will be exported primarily to the Middle East, as well as New Zealand, South Pacific Islands and for the first time, Thailand. Pricing and vehicle specifications will be released mid-next month when the new-look Camry goes on sale. Toyota Australia currently employees around 3,900 employees, 2,500 of which are in manufacturing-related jobs. The company will downsize to approximately 1,300 people when it stops manufacturing at the end of 2017.
