Unionists stake pay claim TRANSFIELD workers who look after Mornington Peninsula Shire’s buildings, furniture, signs, parks and roadsides downed tools last week over stalled EBA negotiations. About 30 workers set up what is nowadays called a “protest assembly” outside Transfield’s depot in Mornington to register their disapproval. Their Transfield bosses called it a day-long meeting. Most people would call it a picket but no vehicles were stopped from entering or leaving the depot. Transfield has a 10-year contract with the shire worth $190 million. The workers want a 3.5 per cent pay rise but the company has offered 3 per cent. Two other elements of the EBA are in dispute. Transfield expects to generate earnings in the range of $240-260 million in 2015-16. The shire said the stop work did not affect services. See full story Page 3.

Children attack senior scholars Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AGGRESSIVE and threatening behaviour by out-of-control children is upsetting members of University of the Third Age at Currawong Community Centre in Mornington. The boys – aged 10 to 12 – reportedly bang on doors and windows while U3A members are inside attending classes, ride their bikes threateningly at elderly members, turn off the power, and harass members walking to their cars.

U3A Mornington president Tom Jeavons took photographs of damage to trees at the rear of the centre he said was caused by the boys. “One of our members saw two boys aged 10 or 11 behind the portable building smoking and attempting to set fire to branches near the building,” he said. “The incidents are part of a long series of vandalism at Currawong. We are being threatened and do not feel safe here. This is a serious, ongoing problem.” U3A members say they have repeatedly contacted Mornington police but,

so far, no trouble-makers have been intercepted. “On Friday 15 May I reported [to police] that three to five upper primary aged boys were showing aggressive and threatening behaviour towards us,” Dr Jeavons said in an email to members. “[They] said they had received two other reports and that [they] had a good idea of the identity of the boys. The following week, further problems occurred but the promised police presence did not occur.” U3A member Jan Oliver confirmed

No reaction, though. The boys all ran away and were not seen by the time I left. Continued Page 11

Vandals trash foreshore trees VANDALS have destroyed hundreds of trees planted on the foreshore at Mothers Beach in Mornington twice in the same week. The trees, their stakes and plastic guards were stomped on and pushed over on Sunday night last week. Mornington Peninsula Shire contractor Naturelinks Landscape Management replanted undamaged trees

Transfield staff protest over EBA Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au WORKERS employed by the shire’s long-term contractor Transfield Services held a day-long protest outside the company’s depot in Watt Rd, Mornington, last Wednesday. It is believed to be the first industrial action for 15 years at Transfield. James Weissmann of the Australian Services Union said employees and the company were at a standoff after negotiations for a new enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) broke down. The ASU is the main union of local government employees. Mr Weissmann said the EBA expired in April but Transfield and union had failed to agree on “three important items”: n Workers asked for a 3.5 per cent pay increase but Transfield offered 3 per cent. n Workers wanted the increase to be retrospective from April but Transfield rejected this. n Transfield wanted to pay its staff fortnightly instead of weekly so the union asked for an extra two weeks of pay but this was also rejected. Mr Weissmann said many workers lived from pay to pay and could not afford to wait a fortnight. “We’re really disappointed negotiations have broken down,” he said. “Our workers accepted lower pay increases when we did EBAs with Transfield in 2009 and 2012.” He said retrospectivity had recently been removed from the negotiating table by Transfield, which was “outrageous”. He conceded Transfield had upped its offer from 2 to 3 per cent. “The out standing matters are minor; our employees have been more than rea-

sonable.” The picket, now known in industrial relations parlance as a “protest assembly”, lasted all day. Mr Weissmann said no vehicles had been stopped from entering or leaving the depot. More than 30 workers manned the “assembly”. Mr Weissmann said union organisers had tried to contact Transfield on Monday without success. Last December, Transfield announced $73 million underlying net profit for the year to the end of June. Earnings were up 7 per cent to $217 million. Transfield said it expected to generate earnings in the range of $240260 million in 2015-16. The shire awarded its first infrastructure contract to Transfield in early 1997 after the shire disbanded its maintenance department. At the time the contract was the biggest of its type in Victoria and was worth $9.7 million in the first year. In March 2013, the shire signed three new contracts with Transfield worth a total of $190 million over 10 years for management and maintenance of the shire’s $1.4 billion of assets – buildings, furniture, signs, parks and roadsides. It also covered customer service and community engagement services. The shire had its own rumble with the ASU in March after it was taken to the Fair Work Commission, which ordered the shire to stop laying off staff and negotiate with those who had been terminated by new CEO Carl Cowie. On Friday, Transfield told The News in a prepared statement that “the Australian Service Union took protected industrial action as part of the Mornington Peninsula Shire contract Enterprise Bargaining Agreement negotiation”. “ASU members stopped work to

Transfield manages refugee centres THE company that mows the grass at your local peninsula park also runs refugee centres at Manus Island and Nauru for the federal government. Transfield Services was asked to reopen the Nauru centre by the Labor government in late 2012. The company won the right to operated Manus Island off the coast of Papua New Guinea earlier this year after Londonbased G4S lost the contract following a riot in early 2013 and the death of Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati. Transfield is receiving $1.2 billion to operate the two centres for 20 months. The company employs 24,000 people in 11 countries. It was founded as an engineering company in 1956 by Italian migrant Franco BelgiornoNettis who was soon joined by Carlo Salteri. The pair met on the Snowy Mountain hydroelectric scheme, and Transfield initially constructed highvoltage power lines before expanding into shipbuilding, energy, defence, government services and infrastructure. Following a feud between the two families in 1995, the empire was split into Transfield and Tenix. Tenix was sold to listed engineering services firm Downer EDI for $300 million last October. Late last year, Spanish infrastructure group Ferrovial Servicios offered $2 a share for Transfield in a takeover bid, valuing the company at close to $1 billion, but the offer was rejected by the board. Transfield shares traded above $10 in 2007 before the global financial crisis. The company recently signed a lucrative five-year deal with NBN Co to roll out the national broadband network. Transfield Holdings, a privately held company owned by the BelgiornoNettis family, sold its 11.3 per cent stake in Transfield Services for more than $90 million last September. Mike Hast meet on Wednesday 1 July from about” 7.30am to 4pm. “ASU members returned to work on Thursday 2 July to recommence normal duties. “Transfield Services continues to be committed to bargaining in good faith with our workforce and their representatives for a new enterprise agreement that includes provision for a reasonable wage increase that is sustainable without compromising the viability of our fixed-price contract with” the shire.

The shire’s infrastructure director Alison Leighton said Transfield had advised the shire that any industrial action would not impact on the delivery of services, which included “maintenance of 1730 hectares of active and passive open spaces including foreshores, roadsides and four shiremaintained cemeteries” as well as “maintenance of more than 600 shire buildings, including security, energy management, cleaning, graffiti management and essential services”.

WHAT’S the real story with ice? is the title of a free community forum 6.30-9pm, Tuesday 4 August, at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. It is being presented by Peninsula Voice. Organiser Peter Orton says there has been a significant increase in public concern about the use of crystal methamphetamine, also known as ice. “This forum will dispel some of the common myths and will counter the hysteria that has emerged in the media,” he said. “It will provide empirical evidence regarding the drug and provide people with tangible steps we can each take to move the incidence of addiction in a different direction.” Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana will provide an overview of the prevalence of ice and substance abuse in the state. Peninsula Health Alcohol and Other Drugs manager Stephen Bright will discuss the key drivers and behaviours for ice and other drug use, as well as the myths of Ice and local resources and support services available. Australian Drug Foundation Information and Research head Julie Rae will discuss the steps individuals and the community can take to effect meaningful long-term change, and Master-of-ceremonies and Minds at Work director Jason Clark will act as conversation facilitator. Those interested in attending should register online at trybooking.com/ IGLF or trybooking.com/144955 Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott said those wanting to hold a space in the foyer at the forum should contact her at 320 Main St, Mornington. “If it is relevant to Ice referrals and you feel the community could benefit from information you have, or they could approach you to ask questions, please let me know,” she said.

Call for wall to come down Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A BATTLE is raging in Mt Martha over a retaining wall that blocks access to a road reserve. The wall was erected in December between Potts Lane and Grandview Terrace. The News was unable to contact the owner of the property last week. John and Carole Van Der Helm, of Potts Lane, say the wall should be removed and have organised a petition to present to Mornington Peninsula Shire. Last week it had 50 signatures. The petition says: “We, the undersigned, request the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to remove the retaining wall … which blocks the road reserve between Potts Lane and Grandview Terrace. “We further ask that this road reserve be improved to enable pedestrian traffic by use of signage and bollards.” The Van Der Helms are frustrated at the length of time the shire is taking to have the wall removed. “We were told it would be taken down two weeks ago,” Ms Van Der Helm said. “Yet nothing has been done. We feel we are not getting anywhere. No one [from the council] is speaking to us. “We are only asking for a pathway [to be restored]. Some people are even climbing over the wall.” She said regular walkers coming up from the Mt Martha marina, along Bruce Rd and down Potts Lane were being inconvenienced, as were bus passengers coming up Ellerina Rd to the stop at the end of Potts Lane. “Their road is blocked,” she said.

Clear way: John and Carol Van Der Helm and grandchildren Jayden and Imogen and the wall they say should go. Picture: Yanni

It is believed a council officer gave verbal approval for a partial retaining wall, but the 1.7 metre timber structure far surpasses that envisaged. This is the nub of the dispute. The shire’s sustainable infrastructure director Alison Leighton said: “The shire is aware of the structure

within the road reserve and is currently working with affected property owners to provide a resolution to this issue and to provide appropriate pedestrian access in this area.” Cr David Gibb, who has discussed the wall with the Van Der Helms, said: “In all neighbourhood disputes

the council seeks a pathway where all parties can live amicably in the community after the event.” The Van Der Helms say council clearing works around the reserve have made the site dangerous. “There’s a sheer drop down one side that was not there before.”

Building plans MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is drawing up a list of projects it would like to be financed through the state government’s $50 million Outer Suburban Growth Fund. The government is making the money available to 10 “interface” councils, including Mornington Peninsula. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the fund would “help deliver important social and economic benefits”. The other interface councils are Cardinia, Casey, Hume, Melton, Mitchell, Nillumbik, Whittlesea, Wyndham and Yarra Ranges. “The interface councils group has spent a lot of time talking to the Minister [of Local Government Natalie Hutchins] about the issues and challenges we face and we are very grateful that this fund has been established to deliver important projects for our municipalities,” Cr Colomb said. “Council is currently considering projects to be included in our submission to the fund, and we look forward to working with the government to deliver real social and economic benefits for our community. We also look forward to hosting Minister Hutchins in the not too distant future to talk in more detail about the projects and the benefits they will deliver.” Ms Hutchins said the fund would help interface councils respond to rapid growth by building such things as family and community centres, town centres, parks and reserves, playgrounds and amenity facilities. Ms Hutchins said the fund would address the unprecedented growth all 10 outer-suburban areas were facing, with work beginning on some projects in the current financial year.

THE removal of the Tree of Life sculpture from the Cranbourne Rd exit of Peninsula Link has sparked a social media backlash. Drivers, including many who do not usually regard themselves as art lovers, have gone out on a limb and expressed their love for the huge sculpture which has towered over the Cranbourne Rd exit section of the freeway for the past two years. Passers-by noticed workmen pulling the Tree of Life down last week. Thousands took to Facebook to publicly declare their fondness for the sculpture. The unusual looking sculpture was repeatedly described as “beautiful” and many are sad to see it go. The Tree of Life, a dynamic windactivated sculpture designed by New Zealand artist Phil Price, will be moved to the McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park in Langwarrin for public display. Former McClelland Gallery director Robert Lindsay is the consultant overseeing the relocation of the much-loved sculpture. He said the Tree of Life should be installed within the gallery grounds on Wednesday (8 July) subject to wind conditions on the day. “It will be at the gallery and people can come along and have a look at it along with the other 120 works on the grounds for free. It’s just around the corner.” Mr Lindsay understood Peninsula Link commuters’ attachment to the Tree of Life sculpture but said a new sculpture will soon be installed at the Cranbourne Rd exit site. McClelland has a contract with Southern Way, owners of Peninsula Link, to install new artworks along the

A towering 9-metre stainless steel gnome sculpture called Reflective Lullaby, by Slovenia born artist Gregor Kregar, is scheduled to be installed on Thursday 16 July. “It’ll be fantastic. I suppose the point is they [sculptures] alternate,” Mr Lindsay said. “Some people will fall in love with different ones over the whole program but they’re not disappearing from the area. They’ll just move around.” Mr Kregar, who is based in New Zealand, told radio station 3AW his Reflective Lullaby sculpture had been selected by McClelland from several entries to replace the Tree of Life. “It’s quite an exciting opportunity. I’m really looking forward to have a

sculpture of that kind of scale and so on in Australia.” He said he has been “interested in gnomes for quite a while” as mythical creatures rather than “Disneyesque” characters. Mr Lindsay said the interest and debate around the Peninsula Link artworks is a positive for Frankston. The freeway sculptures are commissioned and owned by McClelland, through funds donated by Southern Way. The public-private partnership, The Southern Way McClelland Sculpture Commissions, will see 14 major sculptures displayed over 25 years until the year 2037. Neil Walker

Grant aids easier access to airfield PENINSULA Aero Club members are flying high with news they have been given $50,000 for a new access road off Stuart Rd. The grant was confirmed in the Mornington Peninsula Shire budget on Wednesday night. Vice-president Jack Vevers said the club would match the grant to build a $100,000 single lane road with a turning circle. “It will offer a safer and more efficient access point to the airfield to refurbish aircraft with water and fuel in emergencies, and assist with patient transfers,” Mr Vevers said. The club will spend another $200,000 building a dual use hangar for use by emergency services as a triage or respite centre. “More often than not the crews are operating out in the heat working from dawn to dusk in very trying conditions,” he said. He said access to the airfield was “a convoluted process” at present. “Transport vehicles have to go through private property and they do cause damage and we are left with the bill.” Cr Lyn Bowden said she had pushed for the grant in recognition of the airfield’s role in tackling emergencies, such as bushfires and patient evacuation. “They contribute a lot to the community – they’ve done some really good work,” Cr Bowden said. “In emergencies they are able to airlift victims through the Angel of Mercy helicopter flights [us-

ing a Bell Jet Ranger] of which a lot of people are not aware. And they provide a refuelling service to the CFA tankers. “In the big scheme of things this grant is recognition of their work; they are very generous.” The aero club surveyed local residents to get their views on the road plans. “The result was overwhelming support,” Mr Vevers said. “We also opened up the airfield for the public so they could see what we do.” Mr Vevers said the grant was “a vote of confidence from the shire of the role we play in the community”. “It’s a good example of the partnership between us, the shire and the community. The people support us and one or two of them have had the need to use our emergency services.” Planning permits have been acquired and drawings completed for the 5.5 metre by 230 metre road with truck turning bay at the end. It offers provision for helicopter take offs and landings which previously were confined to private land. Mr Vevers said the road would allow significant numbers of people into the airfield for evacuation by helicopter. “We will be capable of handling significant emergencies,” he said. “[At present,] if there was a major fire on the southern peninsula there is no way people would be able to get out. For example, we were flat out coping with the Hastings fires last January. Without the support of helicopters it could have been a disaster.” Stephen Taylor

Smoke blankets crash scene POLICE, ambulance and fire brigade officers worked frantically to clear Nepean Hwy, Mt Eliza, on Wednesday after a ute and a van collided at the intersection of Mt Eliza Way. The van burst into flames following the crash and heavy smoke blanketed the intersection. Two men were treated at the scene. One, a 77-year-old, was taken by ambulance to the Alfred hospital where he was reportedly in a stable condition on Thursday. Hastings highway patrol and Mornington po-

lice attended the scene along with Mt Eliza CFA and Frankston SES. The speed limit along this stretch of road is 80kph. Senior Constable John Shields, of the highway patrol, said it appeared the van was attempting a right hand turn into Mt Eliza Way while the ute was travelling north along the highway when they collided at 4.45pm. Both vehicles were described as write-offs. Witnesses to the collision should contact Hastings Highway Patrol on 5970 7800.

Blankets provide winter warmth DONATIONS of warm clothes and blankets could easily save those whose lives are threatened by winter weather. The Winter Blanket Appeal being run across the Mornington Peninsula is accepting knitted blankets, beanies, scarves and mittens for children and adults, as well as doonas, sleeping bags and woollen blankets. Wool is also available for knitters who cannot afford to buy it but who wish to help.

Donations can be left at any peninsula branch of the Bendigo Bank. Knitters with spare wool can leave wool for collection there, too. Hastings branch currently has wool available. Donated blankets and garments are collected by Rosebud-based Southern Peninsula Food for All and distributed to needy families by the Mornington Peninsula conferences of The Brotherhood of St Laurence.

Food ‘bill’ pushes for social change A GROUP of young people from Mornington Rotary Club have successfully pushed a Bill through the YMCA Victorian Youth Parliament to make it law for supermarkets to donate all edible, unsold food, to those in need. The group included Lucy Martin, Heap Do, Lydia Edwards and Kate Purcell. Their Bill will now be forwarded to Consumer Affairs Minister Jane Garrett and, they hope, pass through State Parliament to become law. This follows similar legislation introduced in France ruling that all unsold, edible food from supermarkets, be donated to charities or for animal feed. That legislation has garnered significant global support. Youth Affairs minister Jenny Mikakos opened the 29th YMCA youth parliament in late June. It was attended by 120 delegates from across the state – all aged 16 to 25. They sat in the parliamentary chamber to debate 20 Bills over three sitting days. The issues were covered by 18 aspiring journalists in the Youth Press Gallery. The Mornington group claims food insecurity is on the rise – yet an estimated four million tonnes of edible food is dumped each year. Their bill will make it compulsory for supermarkets to donate that food. Rotary team member Jessy Hall said a sustainable food policy he saw while living in England inspired the bill topic. “I came across a pay-asyou-feel cafe that only served recycled food and then France legislated that all unsold food from supermarkets must be donated to charities or for animal feed. The legislation garnered significant global support. After that we really wanted to start a global trend.” Mornington Community Information and Resource Centre manager Lisa Elliot said she was “very excited” by the bill, which, if it becomes law, will unleash a huge volume of fresh food for Mornington’s needy. “We’ve had a 50 per cent funding cut courtesy

of the federal Budget and this would help us overcome that,” she said. “We can’t give food vouchers but we would be able to give more food.” Food distribution charity Foodbank communications coordinator Mikaela Figgis also welcomed the idea of a compulsory food redistribution plan. “The bill will increase awareness and understanding of hunger and food wastage in Victoria,” she said. “And it will mean we can rescue more food.” But not all food distributors agree. Large peninsula food group SecondBite believes legislating the change “is not the right way to go about it”. CEO Elaine Montegriffo said her group already had a voluntary national distribution arrangement with supermarkets Coles, Aldi and Woolworths, and that the legislation may force them to “dump food on us”. “We encourage the supermarkets to donate to us voluntarily, but not force to do it. When we have the sort of beneficial arrangement we already have it would seem a pity to spoil it.” FareShare CEO Marcus Godinho says his charity collects perishables from about 85 food suppliers. He says it is not necessary to have government resources tied up in the administration and management of a compulsory system. “If the government came in now and said you have to do what you are already doing it would be a bit silly. “A better use of government resources would be to assist charities by increasing their capacity to collect food, possibly with funding.” Apart from the economic dilemma of wasting food, there are environmental issues to consider, including the production of methane gas through waste decomposition and the ever-increasing size of landfills in Victoria. And the cause of the food waste is often petty – mostly because consumers will only buy aesthetically pleasing, unblemished items.

Same-sex marriage views differ Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au THE debate around legalising samesex marriage in Australia gathered pace last week after the United States Supreme Court ruled that nation’s Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage. The US is the latest in a series of western countries – including the UK and Ireland – to legalise marriage for gays and lesbians. Federal politicians are facing increased pressure to follow suit in Australia but the possibility has deeply divided politicians within both the Liberal and Labor parties. It is no different in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt supports a ‘conscience vote’ by federal MPs on the legalisation of same-sex marriage. Fellow Liberal MP for Dunkley and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson opposes its legalisation. “I am a firm believer in equal rights and I have made my views on this known publicly,” Mr Hunt said in a statement provided by electorate office staff. “I anticipate that the Party Room will consider the issue in the near future and I am very comfortable with a free vote (a conscience vote) taking place.”

According to parliamentary records, Mr Hunt has previously voted against any legislation put before Parliament supporting any changes to the Marriage Act (1961) to move towards legally recognising same-sex marriage. Mr Hunt was in Germany for the latest UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting last week so was unavailable for further comment. Mr Billson, unlike his Liberal colleague, is not for wavering on the subject. The Small Business Minister said he stood by the policy the Abbott government took to the 2010 election before winning power. “That’s the policy we took to the election and that’s the policy I’ve been holding myself accountable to,” he said. Mr Billson said he is not as “ac-

any presently married couple, or the institution of marriage itself, to permit same sex couples to marry. Mr Dreyfus said he would vote in favour of marriage equality when the next Bill to establish marriage equality comes before Parliament, as he has done in the past. Ultra conservative Liberal MPs Divided on marriage proposal: Federal Eric Abetz and Cory Bernardi have criticised some within their own parLiberal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, ty. Mr Abetz said last week that any above, believes same-sex marriage should not be legalised. Fellow Liberal frontbenchers who want to legalise Flinders MP Greg Hunt, right, favours same-sex marriage should resign a ‘conscience vote’ in Parliament for from cabinet and move to the back all MPs. bench. Prime Minister Tony Abbott tivated” about the same-sex marriage has downplayed the chances of a private member’s bill on same sexdebate “as many others”. “I place great weight in the quality marriage being debated and put to a of the relationship and not necessarily vote. Mr Billson said he had previously the way it is characterised or described. “I’m thrilled for people to find love pushed for a “committed life partnerwhere they find love but I do always ship” to be formally recognised so try to uphold my undertakings and that gays and lesbians can celebrate their union in the presence of family and was an undertaking I gave.” Isaacs federal Labor MP Mark Drey- friends. “That seemed quite a positive step fus said he is “a long-standing supforward that respected the ambitions porter” of marriage equality. “I believe that our nation should treat of same-sex couples but also respectall of its citizens as equally as possible, ed the deep and long-standing feelincluding through marriage laws,” he ings that others have that marriage said. “I am not persuaded that it will is a commitment between a man and harm our society to permit same sex a woman and there’s a whole range couples who love each other and are of traditional religious and other committed to sharing their lives, to reasons why other people feel so marry. I also cannot see that it harms strongly about it.”

Foreshore vandals Continued from Page 3 “It would appear the first time was simply vandalism – perhaps kids – but the second time all trees, guards and stakes were removed, which seems to indicate they have been taken by someone for their own use,” she said. She said the area would be replanted for a third time using special tree guards. Ms Oliver said there had been a spate of minor vandalism in the town in recent times including revegetated areas damaged at Mills Beach. “We’re determined to not be put off by these events and will continue working to beautify the town,” she said. The cliff and foreshore at Mothers Beach was covered with African boxthorn (also known as thorn bush), which was painstakingly removed by contractors before revegetation work using hardy native plants such as saltbush and correa could start. Thousands of dollars have been spent on the area including at Schnapper Point, the promontory above the pier precinct where the Matthew Flinders monument stands. Revegetation of the foreshore has been occurring for several years with grants from the state government. About eight members of the federal government-funded Green Army will soon be planting an area around the recently opened, $450,000 toilet block at Mothers Beach. Naturelinks, the shire’s main revegetation contractor, has also been working with volunteer groups at Mt Martha and Mt Eliza. n Mornington Environment Association is holding a working bee to plant trees at Schnapper Point at 10am on Friday 10 July. Planting equipment (including new kneeling mats), gloves, hats and morning tea provided. Details: Jan Oliver, 0417 986 077.

LETTERS Planting time Recent published photographs of the Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt encouraging children to grow a plant are commendable. However, that is where the commendation stops. To plant 20 million plants (let’s not talk trees, but vegetation, unless our minister is hell bent on destroying our plant diversity) so that they will be well established by 2020 to soak up Co2 needs considerable planning. The land needs to be found, purchased or set aside. It must be cleared of already established weeds and fenced if necessary against feral pests (including humans). Experienced and knowledgeable people must be found who know our indigenous plants, what to plant, when and where. Seeds have to be collected or cuttings made. Nurseries will be necessary to establish the stock. Crews will be necessary for planting and maintenance for at least the first year. This program is Australia wide so nurseries will be required in every

region. The lead time to collect the seeds and cuttings could be at least two years May I suggest that as the minister plans to cut down many of the established forest to burn in the power stations he might add a few more million to this figure to make up for the trees lost. What will be the results of failing to meet the 20 million figure by the year 2020. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Drained away Congratulations for publishing Tim Flannery’s article preserving Port Phillip (‘To preserve Port Phillip, Melbourne should learn from Sydney’, The News 23/6/15). He stressed the fact that urbanisation of the land surrounding Port Phillip means more run off and more pollution to the bay via the storm water drains that discharge into it. All predictions are that climate change will further increase this dis-

charge. However, bringing contaminants into Port Phillip is not the only damage these drains can do. While most drains are operated by local government the larger ones and many creeks are the responsibility of Melbourne Water which has some 14 drains discharging to Mornington Peninsula beaches. As well as carrying urban street wastes along with storm water many of these drain outlets simply discharge across the beaches robbing users of enjoyable beach space by leaving deep scour channels and pits of unsafe and stagnant waste water. Drains are assessed operable if the water is simply discharged, without regard to loss of amenity or their ugly appearance. In 2010 Melbourne Water engaged with the peninsula community in assessing the best way to identify and improve drain outlets that are in most need of capital work and received many submissions leading to the identification of three of highest need. Not surprisingly these included the ugly drain at Dromana pier, which had

been the subject of a Parliamentary petition in 2011 seeking improvement. Despite raising expectations of some early works, in December 2013 Melbourne Water announced it was abandoning any plans to perform capital works in favour of “a unique and comprehensive maintenance regime to reduce the visual impact and increase amenity” near drain outlets. Sadly, it seems budget pressures are ensuring these lofty intentions cannot be met. Beach goers can judge how effective the new regime has been by viewing the ugly outlets at the Dromana pier, the car park at Heales St, Dromana and that opposite the Avenue, McCrae - the three drains Melbourne Water identified as being in most need of major work. The only unique aspect of the new maintenance regime apparent so far is that some drains have never been in such poor condition. The beaches of the peninsula are a shared resource and Melbourne Water should realise that as a return for the convenience of using the bay as a dumping place for storm water wastes

it should make every effort to ensure that the beaches are not overly damaged and remain the prime attraction they have always been for the peninsula community and visitors. Ray Greenwood, Dromana

Churches maintain push on refugees A PRAYER vigil is the latest action by peninsula Christians to pressure the federal government over its asylum seeker policies. More than 50 people joined three Uniting Church ministers for a 90-minute vigil outside St Mark’s Church in Mornington on a cold Sunday afternoon last week. It was organised by Reverends John Haig (Mornington), Paul Chalson (Mt Martha) and Cameron McAdam (Mt Eliza). It was followed by a sausage sizzle with proceeds going to Dandenong Asylum Seeker Centre. Rev McAdam said most Mornington churches had representatives at the vigil. He and other Christians have taken a high profile in recent months over asylum seeker policies including protesting outside the Frankston office of federal MP Bruce Billson, the Minister for Small Business, late last year. The protest came just days after the federal government made sweeping changes to the nation’s immigration laws, including agreeing to remove all children in camps on Christmas Island, but not children in other camps such as Nauru. Rev McAdam said he and other Christians would continue to lobby the government and push their views out into the community while children remained in detention. “There are still 81 children on Nauru and 138 children in detention on the Australian mainland,” he said. “The government must release all children from detention, close offshore detention centres, and introduce a fairer and more reasonable policy approach

Speaking out: About 50 people attended a prayer vigil in Mornington for asylum seekers. Picture: Cameron McCullough

including a regional solution in the future.” Rev McAdam and his two Uniting Church colleagues are also members of the loose alliance of Christians called Love Makes a Way, members of which have held protest sit-ins at the local offices of federal government politicians including Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s at Hastings, where Rev

McAdam and several others were arrested by police. The 44-year-old minister was appointed to the Mt Eliza parish 10 months ago. He publicly entered the refugee debate after the Rudd Labor government hardened asylum seeker rules in mid-2013 when it announced arrivals would not be settled in Australia, and

that offshore detention centres closed in 2008 would be reopened, including Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. “We prayed not just for asylum seekers trying to reach Australia but for all displaced people in the world including Africans trying to reach Europe, and Rohingya from Burma and Bangladeshis trying to escape persecution and crushing poverty in Asia,” he said. “There are more than 50 million refugees worldwide with 11.7 million at highest risk, according to the United Nations refugee agency. In 2012, only 88,000 were resettled. Australia took just 6.7 per cent. Australia’s overall intake in 2013 was 34,500, 48th in the world for number of refugees hosted but 74th measured against economic wealth.” Vigil attendees heard from a Filipino asylum seeker and Christian minister who was tortured in his own country and falsely accused of murder, refugee advocate Jill Ruzbacky, and Love Makes a Way member Jake Doleschal.

Seniors attacked Continued from Page 1 “However, those [of us] escorting others to cars certainly were unnerved by all this, especially as we have not had such trouble directly affecting us. Damage to the buildings and grounds is one thing, but being threatened by kids is quite another.” Bridge class member Gaye Morrison said the boys were causing problems in the car park as her group left the building. “Last week they were banging on the doors while we were inside and riding bikes dangerously towards us as though they were going to hit us when we walked to our cars.” “Today they were putting pine fence posts and large roadside signs in the driveway so that we had to get out of our cars to move them before we could drive out and, then, as soon as one car was out, they dragged the posts and signs back so that the next car would have to stop and move them. “I feel threatened and concerned for my safety and the safety of others as it is quite dark when we leave.” Acting Senior Sergeant Chris Stock of Mornington police said vandalism and harassment were “ongoing issues” at the centre. “We brief members to do patrols there and concentrate our efforts on it,” he said. The shire’s manager of infrastructure maintenance Niall McDonagh said vandalism and damage at Currawong Community Centre had been an ongoing concern for a number of years. “The shire has installed security surveillance cameras to assist police in identifying perpetrators. We encourage anyone noticing suspicious behaviour around the centre to contact the local police.”

The Cold closes in and so does the Bride neighbours know of, and respect, his stash. He would not dream of invading theirs. It is cold and wet in there, dew dripping and logs slippery. But then it’s out of the shadows, with sunny spots to sit and thaw and recover, with a cup of Mrs Emu’s brew. She likes a warm evening fire with the prospect of the cosy spooning hours to come. It’s true that an emu’s bum is big anywhere, everywhere, clad in anything. Emus don’t obsess over this. And the tail feathers tickle. BIKES are causing problems in the Emu neighbourhood. At weekends horns blow aggressively on the narrow double-lined road that passes Emu Ruo as bikes impede the cars of the impatient and self-important. Cyclists have been observed riding two abreast, possibly weekend pedalling couples, the male gallantly protecting his Important Other. But many peninsula roads are not only double-lined but too narrow for passing even cyclists who ride single file. This is a dilemma worthy of the Blushing Bride, who is rarely short of a solution and who used to take her shopping-basketed treadly to the shops for the odd loaf or pint of milk. “What if they designated some roads cars-only?” she suggested. “And banned some of the more dangerous roads to cyclists altogether?” Emu shuddered at the ordure that might rain down on such suggestions, but admits the ideas might save an injury or two. It’s all to do with common sense, and pa-

tience. Many riders respond aggressively to motorists, then appear to adopt aggression as the best means of defence. Emu was once approaching two riders in single file when, for no apparent reason, the rear rider doubled up, blocking the prospect of passing without crossing the double line. Why? Emu exercised patience, the great virtue. THE EMUS are troubled by the marriage debate. They have no problem with unions of any sort between loving couples. But they hold the institution, and the word “marriage”, very dear. Emu recalls his gay, carefree youth – picnics at the Arthurs Seat summit, church hall dances, singalongs around the piano. It was a different world, electronic-free, make your own entertainment. Emu realises he has just used the word “gay” in its old meaning. And that’s the crux of his problem: the beautiful, some would say holy, word “marriage” is about to have its meaning diluted, no longer defining the traditional union of a man and a woman. With the pressure for change now unstoppable, the word’s meaning is destined to change, as did that of “gay”, which must cause some folk to snigger when they come across madly gay young things populating the pages of old literature. The change will, to Emu, represent another sad, frayed thread in the vast and colourful warp and weft of life. Emu suspects the word is also very important to those involved in the worldwide push for unions that are not just “gay” to be designated as marriages, but will include other couples, too. The world will get used to it and those who care about our glorious language will die out. The old order has ever given way to the new.

Hot spot: Firemen battle the fire on Monday night last week. Picture: Gary Sissons

Blaze burns out unit FIREMEN from Mornington and Mt Martha fought in vain to save a villa unit gutted by fire in George St, Mornington, late Monday night last week. Mornington CFA officer-in-charge Arthur Haynes said the fire started in the bedroom of the brick veneer unit and quickly spread through the property. “We were the first unit on the scene and it got hot very quickly,” he said. “The whole structure was involved early on and is extensively smoke-damaged.” The occupant, a 35-year-old woman, was taken by ambulance to Frankston hospital with burns to her feet. The cause of the fire was not known last week. The damage bill is believed to be around $300,000. Tiles were taken from the roof by firefighters to let the smoke out. A firefighter using a thermal device read the temperature of areas that had been in the fire.

EMU has been busy bringing in firewood from his secret stash to ward off the sudden and vicious onset of winter. He knew The Cold was coming when the heatneedy Mrs Emu started “spooning” him in bed – invading his personal rear-side space and making evasionary manoeuvring nearimpossible. So Emu has been sleeping hot and uncomfortable; not really a problem since he is exhausted by the day’s wood-fetching. He is woken in the early mornings by the eerie creaking cries of great flocks of co-avians, the splendid yellow-tailed black cockatoos with beaks so strong they can tear apart green pine cones. He watched one day as a flock flew out of a nearby pinus radiata in which they had been feasting. One seemed to have trouble in flight, flapping furiously, beak down. As the flock passed overhead the bird dropped something which, on inspection, proved to be a rather large hideously hacked cone. P. radiata has been a bane on the landscape, but a boon, it appears, for the yellow tails. They also love hakea; their presence can be detected audibly from a distance as those formidable iron beaks smash open seed pods that require a sharp chisel and hammer. Emu actually loves winter’s onset. Not so much the dreary rain, but those days that can begin threateningly dull then bloom like flowers in the late morning, presenting a refreshing cool edge to encourage brisk outdoors work. He loves the bright yellow wattles that cheer the countryside from April to beyond September. And he loves the lawn going into hibernation. He also loves lurking in his secret firewood stash with manly axe and saw. It is a sort of bushland men’s cave, with no “Keep out” sign necessary. He suspects

year” said Dr Shaw. “The majority of melanomas found at PSCC, around 80%, are in-situ melanoma which is a great outcome for our patients. An in-situ melanoma has a survival rate up to 100% once it has been excised” she said. The number of skin cancer cases, especially melanoma, detected on residents in the Frankston and the Mornington areas have dramatically increased and most of these skin cancers are due to accumulated sun damage. Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre

(PSCC) has noticed that the number of melanomas detected in the first 6 months of 2015 has doubled compared to similar patient numbers in 2014. Dr Sally Shaw from PSCC said that the Victoria Cancer Council expects around 2000 cases of invasive

melanoma and 2000 cases of in-situ (thin) melanomas to be treated in Victoria in 2015. “So far we have seen 200 melanomas in our first 6 months of 2015 in our Frankston and Mornington clinics and at this rate we predict around 400 melanomas by the end of this

“So far we have found 10% of Victoria’s in-situ melanomas in just our clinic, which is confirmation that our highly trained doctors and nurses are experts in detecting melanoma at the earliest stage”. “All our patients are closely examined from head to toe with

special hand held dermatoscopes which magnifies any slight changes to our skin. All Australians should have their skin checked at least every 12 months by a doctor trained in dermatoscopy and check their own skin every 1 to 3 months.

8 Walara Drive, MOUNT MARTHA $895,000 plus HockingStuart, 204 Main Street, Mornington, 5973 5444 Ciril Campelj, 0417 549 302

THIS splendid Porter Davis built home, set on a 950 square metre block, offers a versatile floor plan that puts the fun into function. The finishes throughout the home are superb with a vogue interior sure to delight all who inspect. The high ceilings accentuate the sense of space, and the stylish bulkheads, large windows and quality plantation shutters complement the relaxing coastal feel of the property. From the entry there is a separate study, then the magnificent master bedroom beckons with parents retreat, his and hers dressing rooms, and a huge ensuite. The contemporary galley-style kitchen sits between two distinct living areas, and an impressive set of concertina doors directly in front, open up to reveal a fantastic timber decked alfresco area for seamless indoor and outdoor living. For the film buff, the theatre room boasts a giant screen and sound system. Three more bedrooms all have built-in robes and share the second bathroom with shower and deep bath.

6 Reid Court, MORNINGTON $369,500 Ray White, 5/117-133 Main Street, Mornington, 5977 1877 Mark Williams, 0449 250 442

NESTLED in a quiet court, this fully renovated, three-bedroom home is an excellent proposition for first home buyers or investors seeking a well-positioned, low maintenance property. From the street the home is afforded a reassuring sense of privacy courtesy of a tall, stacked stone and merbau timber fence. The gleaming interior features porcelain tiles to the kitchen which boasts a gas cook top and stainless steel oven and dishwasher. The living zone is enhanced by a cute patio that opens off the lounge area, and certainly during the warmer months will increase the sense of living space considerably. For convenience there is reverse cycle air-conditioning, and for a touch of winter ambience, a cosy woodheater will delight. One of two properties on their own title, the property at 6a Reid Court is also available, so this is an intriguing chance to become an owner occupier and investor in one fell swoop.

NEWS DESK

Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE state government has ended plans for a multi-million plan for a commercial development at Point Nepean National Park based around a luxury hotel and thermal springs. Although it may cost up to $1 million to break the 49-year lease signed off by the previous Liberal/National coalition six weeks before the November 2014 election, the government says its decision will prevent “inappropriate development” at the park. The focus on what to do with the park will now swing back to a master plan developed five years ago but dropped when Labor lost power. Ending the lease entered into with the Point Leisure Group has been criticised by Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Liberal Nepean MP Martin Dixon who issued almost identical statements claiming the possible $1 million payout was a waste of money. They also said cancellation of the project meant the of a “$100 million project that would have delivered some 400 jobs”. Soon after the project launch in July 2014 by then Premier Denis Napthine, its cost was lowered to $40m and the extent of the lease revealed to cover 64 hectares, not just the recognised Quarantine Station precinct. The claim about a $100m “investment” by Point Leisure Group was repeated on Friday by the Victoria Tourism Industry Council whose chief executive Dianne Smith said scrapping the lease “has the potential to di-

minish private sector confidence in investing in Victorian tourism projects”. “Our industry saw this as a litmus test for future developments and there is now concern regarding investment in innovative, job creating new tourism projects in Victoria,” Ms Smith said in a news release distributed by the Opposition. The release also included comments from Opposition tourism spokesperson, Heidi Victoria. Mr Guy stated last week that the Labor government is “doing their best to scare off projects that would deliver jobs, investment and new opportunities". The government’s decision has been applauded by the Victorian National Parks Association which said the public would not now be locked out of many areas of Point Nepean. “Plans by the Napthine government to hand over significant sections of Point Nepean National Park to private developers under a 50-year lease were deeply flawed,” VNPA director Matt Ruchel said.

“National parks belong to all Victorians and should not be handed over to developers so that they can build exclusive resorts. “Any compensation now payable to the developer should be laid at the feet of the former Napthine government for signing up to such a flawed proposal in the first place.” Long-time Point Nepean campaigner Kate Baillieu described plans by the Point Leisure Group as being “extremely flawed, too big and inappropriate from the word go”. She said the lease had been a “shameful decision” by the Napthine government, which “tore up years of community consultation about what was appropriate and what would work”. “It’s not surprising people opposed the [Point Leisure Group’s] plan.” “Melbourne University never confirmed its involvement and yet that was announced [by Mr Napthine] as a fait accompli.” Ms Baillieu is confident the fiveyear-old master plan “won’t need

much updating”. “[The government] now needs to make it available for the public to see what everyone had agreed on and, basically, get on with it,” she said. Ms Baillieu said the master plan allowed commercial activities, including a hotel and other types of accommodation, but under individual leases. “Power should be restored to parks Victoria and funding provided to continue the good work that they started in there.” Ms Baillieu thought it “a cheek” if the Point Leisure Group received compensation for maintenance which had continued to be carried out by Parks Victoria. “The plan was deeply flawed without doubt and the area was to be renamed The Point [instead of the Quarantine Station], obliterating history.” Acting Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister, Gavin Jennings, said the government “will look to refresh the 2010 draft master plan, ensuring it reflects current policy,

community views, and future opportunities for the site”. The Point Leisure Group’s project accepted by the previous government, according to Mr Napthine, included a marine education and research precinct with Melbourne University; thermal pools and spa; a health and wellness centre; luxury and camping style accommodation; shops, cafes and restaurants; and a heritage museum “that will bring the park’s history to life”. In a July 2014 government news release directors of The Point Leisure Group, Richard and Trine Shelmerdine, said they felt “very privileged to be part of a project that will revitalise a place that has played such an important role in Australia’s history”. “This will redefine Victorian tourism and create a world-class health and wellness destination that will inspire visitors to discover, unwind, and participate in the wonders of this area.” Last week’s cancellation of the lease with the Point Leisure Group, it also makes good a statement by former Labor premier Steve Bracks who told told ABC TV viewers on election night that the new government would have a look at the contract signed for the geothermal spa and accommodation-based project at Point Nepean National park. The following day Mr Dixon warned that ripping it up could lead to compensation being sought by the developer. The News was unable to contact Mr Shelmerdine on Thursday.

Police, Muslims dine out to end fast POLICE last week invited religious leaders to a dinner marking the end of the month-long Ramadan fast. Police said 200 hundred people attended the dinner, including more than 60 young Muslims and 50 police officers and employees. Mr Ashton said he was proud the Iftar dinner was his first official function as Chief Commissioner. "The Victoria Police Iftar dinner gives police a chance to show respect to the Islamic community whilst breaking fast and reflecting together," he said. "Ramadan is also an opportunity for all of us, regardless of faith or background, to reflect and acknowledge the important contribution the Muslim community has made to Victoria. "The views of young people are particularly important to Victoria Police. We all need to hear their fears and aspirations and take them into account when we make decisions that affect them.”

After the Iftar dinner Syed Wadood Janud, Imam of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association’s Langwarrin mosque, gave a copy of the Koran to Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton. As well as marking the breaking of fast in Ramadan the dinner provided an opportunity for police to broaden their understanding of Islam and build ties with the Muslim community. “It is encouraging and pleasing to see Victoria Police integrating with the wider community, especially the Muslims,” Imam Janud said. “The dinner provides a platform for building bridges of understanding and mutual trust. “It is heartening to see Muslim youths feeling recognised and involved, and their voices heard.” Imam Janud said the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Victoria had close ties with police “and stands by all law enforcement authorities in keeping this beloved country of ours safe, from both internal and external threats”.

Expert help for children’s foot and leg concerns There are some common observations and issues related to children’s feet and legs that parents are often concerned about. We asked Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify some of these. Flat Feet: Contrary to popular belief the appearance of flat feet in children, is NOT usually cause for concern. However, if there is associated pain, balance issues or excessive rolling inward of the ankles, parents should seek professional assistance.

Sore Feet or Legs? Call

Pigeon Toe & Out Toe: The appearance of in-toeing (‘pigeon toed’) or out-toeing (‘duck feet’), can affect the capacity of a child to run, jump and balance well. These issues may be assisted during a child’s developmental years and should be checked. Growing Pains: Growing pains are very common and are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones. The exact nature of the pain should be determined as soon as possible, so should definitely be checked. Shin Pain: Medial tibial stress syndrome, anterior leg pain and compartment syndrome are all commonly referred to as shin splints. Any shin pain should be checked. “If your child regularly complains of foot or leg pain or has balance or mobility issues you should get it checked by an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist experienced. The good news is, with proper diagnosis and correct treatment most issues can be addressed quite easily,” says Dr. Kavanagh. Foot & Leg Pain Clinics are experts in assisting

foot and leg pain, injuries and degenerative issues and have been the chosen experts by some of the World’s Best Athletes and thousands of people just like you. You can get expert advice at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics locations across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, including Mt Eliza, Rye and Cheltenham. Call 1300 328 300.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston mourns loss of teacher Compiled by Melissa Walsh A PUBLIC public meeting will be held at Mornington Junction hall site to elect a Committee and consider the advisability of building a hall and also deal with any other business that might be brought forward. *** ON July 16th a social will be held in Somerville in the Fruitgrowers hall, in aid of wounded soldiers. A number of local young men are on the committee and Mrs W.Hutchison is the hon.sec. Admission is fixed at gents 2s,ladies 1s. *** THE Progress Association of Mornington Junction are again bestirring themselves in matters relating to the welfare of the district. At present they are trying to form a district rifle club and selecting a site for a butts. As there are some crack shots in the district, we predict the club, once started, will soon become favorably known. *** FOLLOWING are the results of football played on the peninsula last Saturday:— Mornington 18 12 beat Frankston 5 13: Langwarrin Guard 5 17 beat Hastings 3 6: Tyabb 7 5 beat Navy Base 4 14 ,Dromana beat Somerville. *** BRODY and Mason will hold their usual market sale at Somerville on Wednesday 14th inst when they will offer a good serviceable allotment amongst other lines.

*** INSTRUCTIONS have been issued from the Censor’s office, dated 3rd July, stating that all correspondence, or other matters from persons serving with the forces abroad, received for publication, must, before the same is published, be submitted to and passed by the Censor. *** WE direct attention to the card of Mr R. M. Cowan, in our advertising columns, who is prepared to give lessons or take engagements as a flautist. He will be pleased to impart instruction at the homes of intending pupils, and his address is ‘Killalian’, Somerville Road, Frankston. *** A SOFTBALL match was played between Pearcedale and Mornington Junction last Saturday, at Pearcedale, the game resulting in a win for the visitors by 7 goals 7 bhds to 3 goals 16 bhds. *** MRS Scott thanks all those who subscribed towards the raffling of potatoes and apples in aid of the Belgian Relief fund. The raffle was drawn on June 30th. The winners being Mrs Fulton, apples and Mr Blackburn of Malvern, potatoes. Money subscribed £1 19s 6d. *** THE concert in aid of the Frankston Football Club came off on the 1st inst, in the Mechanics’ Hall, and the ladies’ committee who managed the whole affair are to be congratulated on the success attending their efforts.

The stage was nicely decorated for the occasion, and the programme, which was a good one, was gone through without a hitch. The attendance was good, and they showed their appreciation of the efforts of the performers for their amusement by repeated calls for encores which was generously responded to. The following programme was gone through:- Mrs McCormack, overture, piano; Master Tait and chorus, song. ‘John Bull junior.’ This was a very popular item, and they were vociferously encored. Misses Croskell and Sherlock sang a duet very nicely. A comic song entitled ‘Tommy’ was well sung by Mr Speed, who speedily established himself as a favorite with the audience, and received an encore. Mr Ellis, song; Miss Grey, song; Master Arthur Ryan, song; Miss Bowell song; Miss McLean, recitation; song Mr W. Cain; song Master L, Ryan (encored); Mr Speed, comic song, (encored); Messes Allpress and Slattery, duet (encored); Miss McLean, recitation; Master Tait song,’It’s nice when ye love a wee lassie,’ (encore); Miss O. Sherlock acted as accompanist during the evening in her usual efficient manner. Mr W. J. Oates (President of the Shire) then came on the stage and spoke on the necessity of the young men taking up drill, and doing all they could to make themselves fit to be of service to their country in the present crisis. A short dance to music supplied by Mr F. Hanton, brought a very pleasant evening’s amusement to a close.

*** IT is our painful duty to record the death of another well known identity of Frankston, in the person of Mr P. Dial, which sad event occurred on Tuesday afternoon last, after a long and painful illness, at the age of 63 years. The deceased was born in Durham, England, and came to the colony as a little boy and received his training as a teacher at St Paul’s Normal School, Melbourne, and was employed by the Education Department for nearly 40 years, having then to retire owing to ill health. After leaving training, he went as assistant and was in charge of schools at Donald, Trafalgar, Mitcham, Sale, Rushworth, Seymour, and Frankston. He built such pleasant connections at the latter place that he always wanted to come back and settle, which he eventually did. He was a great sufferer with asthma for 20 years, and this was the reason for his gradual withdrawing from taking an active part in local affairs. He filled the position of vestryman at St Pauls Church of England, and was for a time treasurer. He was held in high esteem at the university and respected by all who knew him. The remains were buried in the Frankston cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, the Rev G. A.Kitchen officiating. He leaves a widow and family of two daughters (Mrs L. R. N. Uther and Mrs. H. Robertson) and one son, Harold, (who is at present with the Expeditionary Forces at the front) to

mourn their loss.

*** THE Mechanics’ Hall was packed with an enthusiastic audience on Wednesday evening, to listen to reasons why everyone, who was able, should enlist at the present juncture, and lend a hand to crush the enemy who are using every means in their vast power to overthrow the world. The hon. sec. (Dr Plowman) who, since the inaugural meeting last week, has worked indefatigably to ensure the success of this week of special recruiting, not only in Frankston, but right through the shire, having organised meetings at Somerville and Hastings, which were held on Thursday and last evening respectively, was fortunate in securing the services of such talented speakers as Sir John Madden, and Sir William Irvine for Frankston, and those who heard these gentlemen on Wednesday evening must have been delighted with the clear and vivid views expressed by the speakers, who brought home to everyone, in words and pictures, the awful consequences that would ensue if the Germans were successful in their aims. *** AUSTRALIA Day will be celebrated by a huge Fancy Fair in aid of the Australian wounded fund. The fair is to be given by the Somerville Social Club,in the Fruitgrowers hall on July 30th and 31st. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 10 July, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Heavy metal and the art of happiness By Stuart McCullough IT’S official: listening to heavy metal music makes you happy. Upon hearing the news I raced home and destroyed every album in the house by Angus and Julia Stone, Jack Johnson and every other surfing hippie that isn’t Jack Johnson but sounds exactly like him. I’ll admit that, for a moment, I felt fantastic. However, none of these albums were mine and their destruction – even if in the name of science – was somewhat controversial and so my sense of euphoria was short lived. Until now, I’d always thought the reason those guys in Metallica were so happy was because they’d just had a money fight in which they’d tossed wads of cash at each other, but it turns out it’s the music rather than the financial recompense that’s the cause of all this joy. According to the study, heavy metal makes you happy because it empathizes with you when you’re down. In that sense, it’s kind of like Blues music. But surely the explanation can’t be that simple? There must be something more to it than mere aural empathy? Heavy metal is so much more than music: it’s a way of life. Forget the Dalai Lama and burn your selfhelp books, we should all embrace the metal lifestyle in order to find the happiness we all so richly deserve. To understand why heavy metal music is the cause for such delight and unmitigated bliss, it is necessary to consider the elements of metal. Tight pants. If you don’t own a pair of tight pants, get some without further delay. And when I say ‘tight’ I’m talking about something that’s more or less a second skin and causes a ‘pre-

served fruit’ effect on your delicate areas. I mean tight. Not only is it a superb look that’s forever fashionable, it’s crucial if you want to reach the high notes as you sing along to Iron Maiden’s ‘Run For the Hills’. Critically, it robs parts of your anatomy from an over-supply of blood. This,

I feel, makes life in general a lot less complicated. The band Madness may well have extolled the virtues of Baggy Trousers and this, I feel, goes some way to explaining why the group was named ‘Madness’ and not ‘Happiness’. True bliss is found in tight pants.

The Double Kick Drum. Within the genre of heavy metal music, the use of the double kick drum is nigh on mandatory. But elsewhere, it’s as rare as a left-handed hammer. Scour the collected works of Britney Spears and nary a double kick drum you will find. Indeed, the lack of double kick drum may well be a contributing factor to Celine Dion’s slide into obscurity. There’s something wonderfully over the top about a double kick drum. It is a glorious thing that someone, somewhere once asked: why make do with one kick drum when you can have two? Given the vast majority of drummers are equipped with two feet rather than one, it’s a compelling question. It’s also a declaration: there’s no hiding when the drummer has a double kick drum. Setting up a double kick drum says: we pledge allegiance to heavy metal, regardless of the ridicule and opprobrium it brings us. It’s to be admired. Pale Skin. It’s often said that exposure to the sun is vital for producing vitamin B without which we are doomed to misery. That’s rubbish. Being left at the mercy of the sun is an invitation to sunburn, not happiness. True contentment is a studio tan. The pastier the better. It screams devotion to the art of metal at the expense of everything else, especially outdoor exercise. Proper Band Names. You can keep ‘Hootie and the Blowfish’ – it sounds like a children’s picture book. ‘The Beatles’ is an affront to spelling. ‘The Hooters’ sang about ‘All You Zombies’ before quitting the business and opening a chain of restaurants. Just

as we knew they always would. ‘The Foo Fighters’ should be a cartoon, not a rock band. Even worse are those bands that decide to double down. Duran Duran. Mr. Mister. Talk Talk. All of them equally dreadful. Frankly, the state of band names outside of metal are abysmal. Real bands have names that mean something; like Slayer, Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth and The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. The Mullet. It truly is the prince of haircuts. More than that, it’s about balance. Heavy metal is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the mullet haircut. Once, it roamed throughout pop music like a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex, but just like that majestic beast, it is now pretty much extinct. Except, that is, within the world of metal. Business up front, party at the back: what more can you ask for from a haircut? Head-banging. It’s something you just don’t get with Kanye West. There’s something very primal about throwing yourself back and forward in time with the music. Forget dancing and anything that involves your hips. Science has spoken. Resistance is futile. No further correspondence will be entered in to. Instead of a balanced diet and plenty of sunlight, I should have been standing in front of a Marshall Stack and hammering on to my heart’s content. The answer is clear: I must surrender to metal if I ever want to be happy. It’s time to slip into some black jeans and let the ecstasy begin. Metal rules! stuart@stuartmccullough.com Mornington News

Demons are a long way off NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RYE cannot win this season’s Nepean League premiership playing the brand of football that it is currently. That became obvious on Saturday when it was humiliated by one of the best sides in the competition in Somerville. The Eagles led by as much as almost 70-odd points midway through the last quarter before Rye booted the final four goals of the game to add some respectability to the final score line, 19.17 (131) to 13.6 (84). Truth of the matter is that Rye is a one-way running side. Unless you have enormous talent across all 22 players and a defence that is rock solid, you can’t play this brand of footy and expect to win a premiership. It was the second time that RPP FM has called a Rye game this season and the brand of football it dished up was identical. The Demons were outworked and outplayed by Hastings and the same thing happened on Saturday against the Eagles. Ryan Mullett collected 38 possessions for the Demons but less than 20 per cent of them caused the opposition any problems. The coach Josh Moore, who spent the majority of his time on the ball, collected just 14 possessions for the

match. Six of those came in the opening quarter. The issue Rye has is it doesn’t have enough players who stick their head over the footy and win the contested ball. They have a heap of outside run. When the opposition gets the ball in the back half and they run and spread, Rye let them break and go where they want. Somerville had 22 more inside 50s entries on Saturday. It was 17 to nine for the first three quarters and 14 to Rye’s 16 in the last. By then the game was done and dusted. Rye has the sixth ranked defence in the competition. Devon Meadows is ahead of it, as well as the other sides in the top five. The Eagles had worked out at half time on Saturday that the opposition was a one trick (and way) pony. The home side booted seven goals to three in the third term and booted five of the first six goals of the last quarter. That onslaught came as a result of running hard both ways, switching play, spreading the lazy Rye midfielders and moving the ball quickly into the sixth worst defence in the competition. When the ball went inside, Somerville scored at more than 50 per cent. David Hirst booted five goals, including three in the last quarter, Tom

Shaw played arguably his best game for the club booting three goals as a high half forward and Adrian Ridout booted three playing at full forward. Together Somerville had 10 goal kickers. Rohan Hogenbirk was clearly the best player on the ground with 34 possessions and two goals. His work around the stoppages was first rate. Adrian Speedy, Josh Collie, Justin Allsop and Tim McGennis were also damaging through the middle of the ground. Ben Sedgewick worked tirelessly in his 150th game and Jacob Wilson again was unassuming in dominating in the back half. Brady Egan was clearly Rye’s best player. He worked tirelessly leading up the ground and taking more than a dozen marks, while Sam Smith did well to stop the domination that McGennis has shown this season. The way I see Rye, nothing much has changed from last season. A handful of players who ran one way have left the club and they have been replaced by another handful of one way players. Defensively they have major issues. Ben Holmes and Rhett Sutton come back in the coming weeks but that doesn’t resolve the defence issue. Perhaps when you are kicking big totals against average opposition,

it can band-aid the real issues. Josh Moore and his brains trust have six weeks to stop the leakage. Sorrento is the sleeping giant. In fact, the giant has woken. The Sharks dismantled Hastings when the heat was turned up on Saturday, however, despite the strong performance, still sits outside of the top five. Sorrento, who welcomed Myles Pitt back into the side from overseas and former Melbourne player Luke Tapscott made his debut, booted eight goals to three in the last quarter to record an 18.7 (115) to 11.10 (76) victory. Leigh Poholke booted six goals and Pitt kicked three while Leigh Treeby and Daniel Grant dominated. Luke Clark was solid for the Blues with four goals and Matt Clifford and Shaun Foster worked hard. The game was an arm wrestle for the first three quarters of the game before Sorrento upped the ante in the last 30 minutes. Devon Meadows booted five goals to one behind in the third quarter against Dromana and it was enough to see them record a solid 14.16 (100) to 9.7 (61) victory. Troy Aust booted two goals in the third and finished with three for the gam while the team’s best three players in Pat Harmes, Heath Black and

Beau Miller were superb. Terry Wheeler and Matt Jones were the best of the Tigers. Panthers’ coach Glenn Michie said before the game that he believed although it was going to be extremely tough, that his side could make the finals. “If you’re still not aiming for finals with six rounds to go, you pay as well just give up,” Michie said. “Fortunately we have the large majority of our list available now and I think you’ll see a side that is more than competitive in the coming weeks,” he said. Red Hill maintained its position in the top five with a solid 12.15 (87) to 6.5 (41) victory against Frankston Bombers. The Bombers led the Hillmen at quarter time and half time before the home side booted eight goals to one in the second half. Harry Larwill found himself as an unlikely forward and finished with four goals while Jake Mold booted four also and Jarred Eames a couple. Paul Wintle and Luke Adams were outstanding for the Hillmen. Jason Kingsbury, Matt Harris, Jason Currie and Brett Sutton were the best of the Bombers, who lost Duncan Proud through the week to Wodonga Raiders. Proud was named in the best for his new team on Saturday.

Van Raay sensational in 250th for Karingal PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT’S not very often that any individual is bigger than the game of AFL football. And rarely do we see it where the player is viewed so highly that he is placed before the club. However, every now and again, it’s important to stop and recognise the contributions and impact that individuals have made on your football club. On Saturday, the footy public stopped for arguably the best centre half back of the past 20-plus years in Luke Van Raay. The Karingal Football Club star ran out onto the ground for his beloved red and white for the 250th time against Pines on Saturday. His club has not won a game in 2015, however, up until three quarter time on Saturday, Van Raay, along with 21 of his mates, appeared as though they were going to cause the upset of the season. Pines, as expected, upset the party. The Pythons booted 10 goals to four in the last quarter to win 19.15 (129) to 13.11 (89). It’s highly unlikely that Luke Van Raay will ever play in a senior premiership. He’s played in grand finals with the Bulls but never tasted the ultimate success at senior level. Luke has no intention of retiring any time soon but understands that after losing 17 of your best 22 players, rebuilding will remain tough. He doubts that he will still be playing when the club is back near the top again. However, for Luke Van Raay, whilst players love to win, it has never been

PAGE 54

Mornington News 7 July 2015

the key driver for him. “Having a beer with Michael Burke (Karingal coach) on a Thursday night, hanging out with people around the club, that’s what football clubs are about,” Van Raay said. “Sure, I’d love to have won a premiership and it’s my biggest disappointment. Perhaps I could have gone to another club to chase that, but my friends and family are what are important to me. “Karingal Football Club is my family and I’ve never had any intentions of leaving it. My immediately family, extended family, friends and their families have been involved in this club all the way along. “We are experiencing some tough times on the field now but I’m sure we’ll experience great times again in the not too distant future. “It’s tough to go out there every week and know you are up against it but you find inspiration from others. “Michael (Burke) is a constant inspiration. A four-time best and fairest winner who has been unbelievably loyal too. “Daniel Watts, the president, has done everything that anyone can do at a football club including playing and coaching premierships, best and fairests and he continues to give so much of himself. “These guys are in a league of their own as far as I’m concerned and I’m just glad that I have spent so much time with and around them. “All I want is the best for the Karingal Football Club and this will always be my priority, even when I stop playing,” Van Raay said. Michael Burke booted five goals on Saturday for the Bulls while Travis

Guard of honour: Luke Van Raay runs out for his 250th game for his beloved Karingal Football Club. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Puntaroni and Nathan McDonald in his first game was outstanding in the 13.11 (89) to 19.15 (129) loss. Shaun White was outstanding for the Pythons with three goals, Aaron Edwards was solid with four and Adam Maling and Beau Hendry were at their best. Mt Eliza bounced back from its horror defeat last week against Frankston YCW to put Bonbeach to the sword on Saturday. The Redlegs were unrelenting and should have been almost 10 goals in front at quarter time (2.9 to 0.2). Justin Van Unen booted seven goals

to give him 67 for the season while Rob D’Orazio, Sam Gill and Jimmy Clayton were amongst the Redlegs’ best for the second week in a row. Jackson Sole, son of the great Kenny, is making a real mark in senior football and he was his side’s best again, while Ben Hogan and Mark Tyrell also worked hard in the 3.11 (29) to 14.14 (98) loss. Seaford received the news through the week that senior coach Ben Crowe was not interested in coach the club in 2016. Crowe wouldn’t be drawn into the speculation that he will go back to his

home club Somerville and finish his playing days with the club that is looking ominous. Instead, he wanted to focus on the rest of the 2015 season and try and win as many games as possible. That didn’t start well, the Tigers going down to Mornington on Saturday 19.5 (119) to 6.7 (43). Jackson Calder booted six goals and Adam Symes four for the winners while Michael Gay and Danny Nolan dominated. Michael Herbert and Kane Taylor were named Seaford’s best players.

MPNFL board resigns, AFL steps in By Toe Punt THE MPNFL board collectively resigned late last week after 19 of 22 MPNFL Peninsula and Nepean clubs expressed a vote of no confidence. AFL South East immediately took over as caretaker of the league, providing the function of the board under MPNFL Rules until the finalisation of a review into the appropriate governance and administrative model for the league for the future. At this stage, the current administration will continue to manage the dayto-day operations of the competition. AFL South East General Manager Jeremy Bourke said it was “highly unlikely” that there would be any changes to the structure of the competition in the 2016 season. In a letter to the clubs following the board’s resignation, Bourke said with these challenging situations comes many items requiring immediate attention, some with ease and others with complications. “The first is to ensure the MPNFL has constitutional integrity and it is for this reason a Special General Meeting (SGM) will be required for the AFL South East Commission to assume governance capacity in a caretaker role. “A notice regarding this SGM containing the required motion will

be coordinated through MPNFL CEO Jeff Jones and distributed as soon as practicable. It is anticipated that this SGM will be held on Wednesday 8 July. Following on from the SGM, AFL South East will apply the following immediate actions: Governance “The Commission will immediately provide the function of the board under MPNFL Rules in a caretaker capacity until the finalisation of a review into the appropriate governance and administrative model going forward. Administration “The current administration will remain in place (as employees of the MPNFL) and continue to operate out of the Somerville offices until the finalisation of a review into the appropriate administrative structure going forward. All administration staff will report to the region general manager, who will oversee key decisions and staff performance. Financial Audit “AFL South East’s financial audit committee, headed by Ted Turner (Principal at Ashton Ryan Malcolm Financial and former president of Edithvale-Aspendale Football Club) will undertake a full assessment of the MPNFL’s financial position immediately. This audit will include a situ-

ational analysis report provided to all member clubs at the earliest possible opportunity. Governance and Administrative Review “A panel including the following members will immediately review the governance and administrative structure of the MPNFL. The panel will consult extensively with all stakeholders and will produce recommendations for adoption by the Commission and member clubs. The panel will consist of: Roger Hampson – AFL South East Commission chairman Jeremy Bourke – AFL South East Region general manager Jim Cail – AFL Victoria Country football manager Shayne Ward – AFL Victoria government relations manager Alexandra Gronow – AFL legal counsel Rules and By-Law Review “Russell Jacgung (AFL South East commissioner and former MPNFL board member) will oversee the work that has currently been undertaken in this area and manage the process going forward. Once again, club consultation and assessments of league rules and by-laws from other regions will form part of this review. “Again, these situations are not

without complications however it is the intention of AFL South East to provide caretaker support through this transition period with as minimal disruption to the operations of the league as possible.” Bourke acknowledged the work of the outgoing board. “Whilst this correspondence is directed to MPNFL club presidents, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing MPNFL board members for the effort, time and commitment they have made to the management and development of the league. Whilst there is topical focus on negative aspects, there are many positive developments the board has overseen and that service must be noted,” Bourke said. The board also wrote a letter to clubs announcing their collective resignation. “It is with great disappointment and reluctance that all members of the MPNFL board wish to advise of their resignation, effective immediately. We take this action in response to the vote of ‘no confidence’ that was passed by a large majority of both Nepean and Peninsula league clubs at recent private meetings,” the letter stated. “Whilst it is extremely disappointing that this situation could not be resolved by consultation and through

an independent review, we accept the decision that most of you have voted for. “Some of the allegations, innuendos and reports that have circulated in recent weeks, particularly from some who should know better, have been extremely disappointing. The many emails, late night telephone calls and comments from certain areas of local media, has certainly taken a toll on each of us personally, and has also impacted on our families and friends. “Each member of the board volunteered their time because of a genuine passion for sport at a local level, not for self-promotion or personal gain. Each of us walks away from our positions on the board with the view that it has been a most rewarding experience. Working with the clubs, meeting an incredible number of quality club people who share a passion for local sport and forming some lasting friendships in the process have been a special part of the role. “We sincerely thank the clubs that have supported us over the journey. Your loyalty and willingness to work through situations over the years has been most appreciated. “We wish everyone good luck for the remainder of the 2015 season and for the future under a new structure,” the letter stated.

Prius V: improved safety, style and driving pleasure

CLEAN NU UPP O ON N A...

TOYOTA has upgraded its Prius v hybrid sevenseater with a fresh look, improved comfort and convenience, sharper ride and handling, plus expanded safety features. The two-model line-up builds on Toyota’s cutting-edge safety technology with the introduction of lane departure alert and an improved pre-crash safety system. Revisions to the Prius v suspension, with adjustments to the damping force, have resulted in improved ride comfort and increased handling stability. Exterior updates to the Prius v expand its visual appeal with a stronger look that takes up Toyota’s latest design cues. Toyota’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the first major changes since launch in 2012 keeps Prius v at the cutting edge of its competitive set. “Prius v offers more cargo space than most small SUVs yet it can travel 100km on less than five litres of fuel,” Mr Cramb said. “The latest updates are focused on safety, multi-media technology and additional ride comfort while ensuring the comprehensive standard features of Prius v meet the needs of a wide range of buyers,” he said.

The revised Prius v front-end features a new upper grille, a more prominent Toyota badge that extends the forward line of the bonnet, and vertical LED running lamps. Slim profile headlamps give Prius v a distinctive sharp-eyed appearance while the glossblack lower grille adopts Toyota’s signature trapezoidal shape. At the rear, there’s a new combination lamp design and, following the styling themes adopted at the front, a new licence-plate trim and bumper with an integrated diffuser. Changes in the cabin include new interior trim, upgraded audio systems with touch-screen displays, a revised instrument binnacle and a new 4.2-inch colour TFT information screen controlled using switches on the steering wheel. Both Prius v grades (Prius v and Prius v i-Tech) include seven airbags, stability and traction control, climate-control air conditioning, reversing camera, head-up display, 16-inch alloy wheels, three-piece sliding second-row seat, 50/50 split and fold-flat third-row seat, hill-start assist control, daytime running lamps, electric vehicle mode and touch-tracer steering-wheel controls.
