TIM Wood, navy commander, Queens Counsel, retired County Court judge, has won the Red Hill ward byelection.

When counting ended on Saturday night Mr Wood had nearly 55 per cent of eligible votes after preferences were distributed from the record 17 candidates seeking a seat on Morning-ton Peninsula Shire Council.

On Sunday he told The News he wanted to hear the views and repre-sent all community groups within the ward – “I’ve identifi ed more than 20 already”.

Mr Wood said he was ready to begin duties as a councillor this week, de-spite indications that the shire “man-agement” wanted him fi rst to undergo an induction period.

“I don’t there’s anything they can tell me about meetings and procedures or councillor conduct,” he said, hold-ing up various shire publications while sitting at the dining table of his Shore-ham home.

Mr Wood was ready to take his own Bible to Monday’s declaration of the poll at the shire’s Rosebud offi ces to show CEO Michael Kennedy that he was ready to take the oath of offi ce.

While stressing that he wanted to be “collegiate” with his fellow coun-cillors, Mr Wood said it was obvious Red Hill ward had “been without a voice” both before and since the May resignation of former councillor Frank Martin.

He was ready to participate in Mon-day night’s meeting so that Red Hill’s

12,500 ratepayers were not denied a voice “for another two weeks”. (See Page 5)

That voice seems likely be added to the minority of councillors speak-ing out against the shire spending $40 million or more on the Southern Pen-insula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud.

A “believer” in community rec-reational facilities, Mr Wood said he “can’t see the justifi cation in spending $40 million when there are other things calling out for attention”.

“SPA should be reviewed compre-hensively,” he said. The shire last week added four sets of architects’ drawings for the SPA to its website. (See Page 3).

Mr Wood said the issue most men-tioned by residents during his election campaign had been “the standard of roads”.

“It’s the most complained about is-sue,” he said.

“But, overridingly, people are con-cerned about not being listened to. They’re peed off.”

Unable to attend the count because of a previous speaking engagement at the naval association sub-branch in Frankston, Mr Wood said three peo-ple at the meeting approached him – “knowing I was a candidate” – saying things were “crook” at council.

“Being a councillor is a big job and I have no illusions I can do it all by my-

self without people telling me of their concerns,” Mr Wood said.

“I will hear their concerns and speak to other councillors. I don’t want to be seen as a prisoner to one particular group [within council].”

Mr Wood likened the fi nding of con-sensus within council to the process followed by a jury towards making a unanimous decision.

A former naval commodore, Mr Wood’s election means there are now two councillors with legal backgrounds (Cr Hugh Fraser is a barrister) and two councillors with naval backgrounds (Cr David Garnock was a captain).

Mr Wood is also no stranger to planning issues, having specialised in

planning and construction while a bar-rister and helping with the formation of VCAT (Victorian Civil and Admin-istrative Tribunal) in 1988, where he remained until 2001.

He joined the Royal Australian Navy as a lawyer for four years in 1970 and remains active in the Naval Reserve. “There’s an association motto, ̔Once navy, always navy’,” he says. In 2006 he was appointed Deputy Judge Advo-cate General Navy, a position he held for two and a half years.

While no longer able to hand out sen-tences, the former judge turned council-lor is sure to have a judicious approach to arguments being put forward by his fellow councillors, and constituents.

THE shire council is calling on peninsula resi-dents to have their say on the preferred design for the $34 million Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

The aquatic centre is planned for the Rose-bud foreshore and will feature a 25 metre pool, warm water program pool, leisure pools, aqua play area, sauna, gym, and café.

The SPA centre will also incorporate Rosebud Memorial Hall’s community meeting spaces.

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said four ar-chitects had been selected to work on a council design brief for the aquatic centre, with each concept refl ecting the council’s “commitment to design excellence, innovation and environmen-tal sustainability”.

Feedback from the public will help inform a judging panel, which will provide a report to council at the end of the public exhibition period in September. Councillors will vote on the fi nal design in October.

Designs can be viewed at the municipal of-fi ces. Comments and ideas can be shared at: www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/SPA

Newly elected Red Hill ward councillor Tim Wood may not be able to begin his duties until 8 Septem-ber, despite Local Government Minister Tim Bull advising there was “no impediment” to him being sworn in on Monday 25 August and beginning work at that evening’s council meeting.

Red Hill ward has effectively been unrepre-sented since last December, when former ward councillor Frank Martin fell ill and took extended sick leave. He resigned in May.

According to Cr Hugh Fraser, “Management has fi xed the taking of the Oath by the person de-clared elected for Red Hill Ward as an item of Council business for its Monday, 8 September, 2014 Ordinary Council Meeting”.

In a Notice of Motion to be discussed at the 25 August meeting, Cr Fraser sought to have “the person declared elected as the Councillor for the Red Hill Ward … take the Oath of Offi ce … [as] the fi rst or such other item of business as the Council determines ...”

The election result was known soon after 8pm on Saturday, 23 August, councillor-elect Wood gaining 4446 votes – nearly 55 per cent – after distribution of preferences followed by Mark Fancett (3669 votes, 45.2 per cent) and Tim Treadwell (2217 votes, 27.3 per cent).

The formal declaration of the poll was sched-uled for 10am on Monday at the Rosebud shire offi ces.

Once that occurs, “there is no legal impediment to [the winner] being sworn by the CEO Dr Mi-

chael Kennedy OAM as required by section 63, Local Government Act 1989, and taking his or her seat at the Council Meeting on Monday even-ing”, Cr Fraser, a barrister, said.

The response from Minister Bull came last week during a late sitting of State Parliament. Asked if Red Hill ward’s new councillor could take his or her place in time for Monday’s meet-ing, Mr Bull responded that no legal impediment prevented this from occurring.

No meeting is scheduled for Monday 1 Sep-tember, meaning 8 September would be the next opportunity to install the new councillor. Many in the ward are anxious for representation as soon as possible after nearly nine months of being ef-fectively disenfranchised.

Dr Kennedy is known to favour inducting new councillors over a week or more, with compre-hensive explanations of their responsibilities as councillors and warnings against the pitfalls and traps of the job and the sometimes heavy penal-ties that councillors can incur for breaches of the Local Government Act.

The last councillor to win a shire byelection was current mayor Cr Antonella Celi, who was elected to the old Truemans ward in 2010.

Ms Celi was elected on 17 July. She was sworn in at the next council meeting, held on 26 July, declaring it “an honour and a privilege” to be a councillor, thanking her fellow councillors “for their warm welcome and helpfulness”, and con-cluding by calling for “three cheers for the True-mans Ward!!”

With the chamber occasionally deadlocked 5-all at recent meetings, she has had to use her

casting vote a number of times. Swearing in of the Red Hill ward councillor will relieve her of that responsibility.

Cr Fraser’s notice of motion had a rocky in-troduction to the shire website. Circulated on Wednesday 20 August, it fi rst appeared the previ-ous morning. It then disappeared early on Thurs-day and was reinstated on Thursday afternoon.

This election could mark a new era in shire his-tory in a number of ways. Perhaps depressingly, at least for aspirants in single-member wards, it is clear from this poll that expensive mail-outs to all voters is becoming a necessary strategy.

Mr Wood sent letters to all 12,509 voters, some one-third of whom are not permanent ward residents. Mark Fancett and Michael Treadwell also did mail-outs, but culled the voter list for off-peninsula voters to reduce the number of let-ters and thus the cost. The table shows how this could have infl uenced voters: the vote for fourth placegetter Neale Adams was substantially below Treadwell’s.

It is likely future candidates will need to estab-lish a war chest of $10,000 to $15,000 to ensure they reach the entire electorate.

The Victorian Electoral Commission received 8115 valid votes. Informals numbered 569, com-ing in sixth behind Kerry Watson.

Scrutineers reported that the donkey vote – where voters mark their paper 1 to 17 sequential-ly up or down – were rare and that some voters, apparently taking their allocation of preferences seriously, mis-numbered papers, possibly be-cause they referred to more than one candidate’s how to vote card.

Swearing-in may face two-week delaySwearing-in may face two-week delay

Friday 22 AugustVotes received until 6pm.

Saturday 23 August – polling day 8am Staff began removing identity fl aps from the

ballot envelopes to ensure anonymity of ballot papers.

10.30amOpening of envelopes containing ballot papers

began. Obvious informal ballots (such as blanks, all squares ticked instead of being numbered) were set aside. Formal ballot papers were com-piled into bundles of 50. Informals were kept as a separate batch.

2pmUnder the eyes of scrutineers, formal ballot

batches were given to operators, who typed voters’ preferences exactly as they appeared on ballot papers into the computer system.

The computer program alerts operators to er-rors such as duplicate numbers. Scrutineers can report any other errors to supervising staff, quot-ing the ballot batch number in which a possible error occurred.

8pmBallot entry complete, Victorian Elec-

toral Commission returning offi cer Julie Allan pressed the Calculate button to compute the election result. A few minutes later the result was known.

In case of a tie, the computer program deter-mines which candidate has won by perform-ing a complex countback of the tallies of each candidate.

If two or more candidates are tied, selection of the winner is determined “in accordance with steps prescribed in legislation”, according to the VEC.

The computer calculation process could be viewed as it occurred.

A printed report of the count was made avail-able, copies being distributed to scrutineers. The report included the successful candidate and details of all exclusions and distributions.

The result was scheduled to be declared for-mally on Monday 25 August at 10am at the shire offi ce in Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Counting timeCounting time

Several other factors stand out: The green vote was strong, with Neale Ad-

ams coming fourth and state election Greens candidate Rose Ljubicic seventh; Non-ward residents such as Leigh Coleman,

Leigh Eustace, Bryan Payne and Brian Morgan scored only a few hundred votes between them. Eustace, a former councillor, polled poorly and was heavily disadvantaged by preference alloca-tions, as occurred when he was defeated in Bri-ars ward in 2012. Overall it can be argued that Red Hill ward,

disenfranchised for so long, expressed frustra-tion with the shire, judging by the number of candidates who nominated and the policies they espoused and by the candidate they ultimately backed.

A STIFF arm was the fi rst warning sign. Judy Phelan hadn’t noticed she was walking without swinging her right arm until her son and his wife told her she was “walking funny” while out for a stroll on a family holiday to Vanuatu in 2000.

The 66-year-old Boneo resident said she hadn’t noticed anything untoward until that moment, but decided to con-sult a doctor on her return to Australia. Within six months she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, an as yet in-curable neurological disorder which sees sufferers struggle to control body movements.

Parkinson’s symptoms worse over time but body shakes, stiffness and coordination problems can be mitigated by medication to partially restore dopamine depleted in the brain. There is no known cause for the disease.

Despite her life-changing diagnosis 14 years ago, Ms Phelan was remarkably positive about her Parkinson’s experience.

“There’s no real test for Parkinson’s and I consider my-self relatively lucky to have been diagnosed so I could get treatment so quickly,” she said.

“Some people go for years knowing something is wrong without knowing exactly what it is.”

She said her family have been incredibly supportive, es-pecially her husband Ian who has been “an amazing carer”, even more so after Ms Phelan survived life-threatening surgery to remove an abscess from the top of her spine in 2012.

Speaking to Ms Phelan, it’s obvious she is resilient and has not let Parkinson’s defi ne her life.

The former Oakleigh resident and catering company owner, who managed the Classic Carriage Restaurant train travelling from Melbourne to Geelong for many years, moved to Boneo after retirement.

Ms Phelen said she had met many other Parkinson’s suf-ferers on the peninsula. She attends the Rosebud Commu-nity Rehabilitation Centre and said she “learns a lot about Parkinson’s from others”.

There are about 20,000 people diagnosed with Parkin-son’s in Victoria and Ms Phelan will join some of those affected and their families for a Walk in the Park charity event hosted by Parkinson’s Victoria in Melbourne this weekend.

Participants will walk 4 kilometres from Federation Square along the banks of the Yarra River and back. Now in its sixth year, Parkinson’s Victoria is aiming to raise $170,000 to raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease and fund services and research to make life better for people living with Parkinson’s in Victoria.

Visit www.parkinsonswalk.com.au for details of the Walk in the Park event which takes place on Sunday 31 August at Federation Square in Melbourne at 11am. To sponsor Judy Phelan’s search for the Phelan Ready team which has raised over $6000 to date.

A NEW wall and track are expected to be built west of Portsea pier by mid-November.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has given $67,000 towards the rebuilding the 50-year-old wall undermined by severe storms in June.

The Department of Environment and Primary Industries modifi ed earlier designs after a public meeting in July at Portsea, including what colour of rocks to use in the wall and including the ac-cess track despite some objections.

"I am very pleased we have been able to take

swift action on this section of Portsea beach as I, along with many locals, have observed the conditions deteriorating over the winter period,” Nepean MP Martin Dixon said.

He described the works were an “attractive solution” for the sea wall and access track.

This project also includes erosion control works further west of the sandy beach.

After the June storms erosion at the beach extended landward and the foreshore reserve, threatening a toilet block and pedestrian safety.

ORGANISERS of last weekend’s Devilbend fun run have been left scratching their heads fol-lowing the disappearance of a portaloo shortly before the start of the charity event.

Eight portable toilets were dropped off at various locations along the course of the fun run at Devilbend Natural Features Reserve on Satur-day ahead of the event the next morning.

But when Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club members organising the charity event ar-rived around 6am on Sunday, one of the toilets was missing.

Organiser Richard “Dozer” Does said the remote location of the event within the nature reserve made the apparent theft of the portaloo all the more puzzling.

“No one seems to have ever heard of anyone ever stealing a portaloo ever before; it really beggars belief,” Mr Does said.

“It’s a real mongrel act. We’re a not-for-profi t group and this was a charity event, so you couldn’t get much lower than that, not to men-tion the fact we’re talking about a toilet.”

Mornington police confi rmed they were inves-tigating the incident, but had no leads to date

Devil’s test: Puffi ng, panting runners brought Devilbend Reserve alive on Sunday at Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club’s annual fundraiser. About 500 athletes contested a half marathon, fi ve and 10km events – and other novelty races – with proceeds raised on the devil-theme day going to a host of worthy causes. Picture Andrew Hurst

TOM Macauley raised money for a cause dear to his heart at the Devilbend Fun Run on Sunday. It will go towards helping his mum, Annitta, who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Tom,10, was one of 500 athletes competing at the annual fundraiser organised by the Morning-ton Peninsula Athletics Club.

Runners tackled cross country races over 5, 10 and 21.1 kilometres – a half marathon – at the Devilbend Natural Features Reserve, Graydens Rd, Tuerong to raise money for worthwhile projects.

In keeping with the “devil” theme, a devil parade

was held before the start of racing, with the best 10 devil lookalikes selected. Those who com-pleted their event in costume had their entry fees refunded.

Winners of the major races were: half marathon (men) Dion Finocchiaro 73 minutes; women Kylie Sprague, 91 minutes. 10km: Lachlan Aspinall 37 minutes, Jodie Kerr 42 minutes; 5km Shane Strahan 19.19, Kailyn O’Connor 20.54. They each received a trophy and sponsor’s prize.

Organiser Richard Does hadn’t counted all the money raised by Monday morning, but he thinks

it will probably be the same as last year’s $8000. “It’s a great little community event that we hold in the fi rst week of August,” he said.

Those taking part can nominate a worthwhile charity – just like Tom did – with other benefi ciar-ies including the Lions Club and Men’s Shed.

The scenic picnic area and surrounding reserves are ideal for cross country runs and for raising money for the club, which competes in regular Athletics Victoria events and weekend club racing.

POLICE are hunting a gang of armed bandits following a spate of holdups targeting service stations across bay-side and peninsula suburbs.

At least fi ve service stations have been held up at knife point so far this month and police fear the gang of three will strike again unless caught.

Frankston armed robbery squad detec-tives are investigating the crime spree, which began with the armed holdup of a service on Thompsons Road in Patter-son Lakes on Sunday 3 August.

Two balaclava clad men entered the sales area of the Caltex petrol station about 8.30pm. One of the men jumped the counter and demanded cash and cigarettes while the second man threatened the attendant with a knife.

The men fl ed to an awaiting car that is thought to have been driven by a third man.

Three days later, a United service station in Marine Parade, Hastings, was robbed.

On this occasion, three men all wearing balaclavas stormed into the sales area about 7pm, with two jump-ing the counter and threatening the at-tendant with knives before removing cigarettes and cash.

Two days later, on 8 August, a service station in Black Rock was robbed by three men fi tting the same description.

The trio entered the 7 Eleven store in Balcombe Rd about 10.40pm, forc-ing the attendant to open a door to the console area where they again stole cigarettes and cash.

On Wednesday 13 August, two bal-

Armed gang hits five servosArmed gang hits five servos

aclava-clad bandits stormed into the United service station at the corner of Stony Point Rd and Disney St about 8.15pm. One of the men armed with a large knife jumped the counter and threatened sales attendant.

The second man entered the both via an unlocked side door and held a knife to the back of the attendant, telling him: “We won’t hurt you, just give us all the cash and smokes.”

They then opened the cash regis-ter and removed money before help-ing themselves to a large quantity of cigarettes. They fl ed to an awaiting car which then sped away.

The same service station was bur-gled fi ve days later when thieves smashed their way through a side wall, however, police said it was not known if the two incidents were related but that the perpetrators must have been famil-iar with the shop to have known how to break in.

On Sunday 17 August, two men

held up a service station in Davey St, Frankston, just before 9pm.

Again, the console operator was threatened with knives before cash and cigarettes were stolen.

Police believe the same vehicle was used in each of the armed robberies and are appealing for public assistance to help track down it down.

The vehicle, similar to the one pic-tured above, is described as a grey or silver early model Holden Commo-dore sedan, possibly a VN or similar.

Detective Sergeant Al Hanson from the Frankston armed robbery unit said a similar Holden Commodore aban-doned earlier this month on Frankston-Flinders Rd near the Western Port Hwy intersection had been discounted as the vehicle in question.

Anyone with any information re-garding the vehicle is asked to call Frankston crime investigation unit on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A WATER police crew on patrol in Port Phillip received a pleasant surprise last Friday when a humpback whale acquainted itself with their boat.

Police were called to the coast of Mornington on Friday afternoon to ensure the safety of a whale following its sighting by members of the public.

However, police said the whale seemed to have taken a fancy to their boat, coming up alongside them just metres away.

“Our members stopped a few hun-dred metres away as to not disturb the whale,” Senior Sergeant Lachlan Hold-ing said. “They turned their engines off to minimise noise and vibrations and that is when the whale swam over.

“The whale was surfacing for about 30 seconds every fi ve minutes. It was

rolling over onto its back. We think it may have confused our boat with another whale and that is why it was being so friendly.”

The whale, which is believed to have been migrating north for the mating season, was joined by dolphins and seals in a nearby area.

Senior Sergeant Holding said that the display of affection from the whale was a great moment on the job, however he would not encourage members of the public to seek out a similar experience.

“There are strict regulations around how close boats and jet skis can get to marine life. It is for the safety of both the people and the animals,” he said.

Recreational boats must stay 200m away from whales and 100m from dolphins.

AN allegedly heavily intoxicated Bax-ter man had his car seized by police after hitting speeds of more than 150km/h on Peninsula Link last week.

A Ford Falcon was spotted by police allegedly weaving in and out of traffi c while speeding along the freeway at Mt Martha about 7.30pm on Tuesday.

Rosebud highway patrol police pursued the car after clocking it at 151 km/h in a 100km/h zone.

The 40-year-old allegedly attempted to speed away from police before be-ing stopped.

He was taken back to Rosebud po-lice station where he returned a blood alcohol reading of .154 per cent.

His vehicle was impounded under the hoon legislation and he is ex-pected to be charged with a range of offences including conduct endanger-ing life and resisting arrest. TWO man were arrested last week over a spate of burglaries across Frankston, Mt Eliza and Mornington.

Police said the 26 and 29 year-old men had been charged in connec-tion with two burglaries in Frankston South and Mt Eliza after jewellery was found in their car when they were questioned on 19 August.

They are now being investigated over at least 10 other burglaries com-mitted in the area over the past month.

Bay destructionBay destructionVictorian Labor’s plan to build a con-tainer port at Bay West in Port Phillip will result in a massive dredge of the bay, fi ve times the volume of the 2008 dredging.

Not only will the shipping channels have to be dredged, but Port Phillip Heads would need to be deepened by at least a further two metres.

This would require the removal from the Heads of the equivalent of the entire 2008 dredge.

This massive removal of 25 million cubic metres of rock from the Heads would result in a sea level rise of about 15centimetres.

A vote for Labor in the year’s state election is a vote for an unprecedented dredge of the bay, a massive impact on the marine national park, devasta-tion of large parts of the bay, and inundation of the bay’s shoreline, especially on the southern peninsula.

The only viable and responsible alternative is the development of the Port of Hastings with its natural deep water channels, which will mean a signifi cant economic and employment boost for the Mornington Peninsula.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Historical portHistorical portRupert Steiner, of Balnarring, expresses concerns over the alleged negative effects that the Port of Hast-ings Development project could have on the region’s tourism, recreation and agricultural assets (“Preserve the bay”, Letters, The News 19/8/14).

It needs to be pointed out that the Port of Hastings has been an active port for more than 50 years and in that time handled large quantities of crude oil, gas and steel without any environ-mental incidents.

The new development is for contain-

er ships entering the port. Container shipping lines operate in competitive markets meaning that engine makers and shipyards are building ever more fuel economic and effi cient vessels.

It also is important to remember that following the declaration of the Port of Hastings Development plan as a major project under the Major Trans-port Projects Facilitation Act 2009, means that the approvals process is not only rigorous, but provides for detailed studies of the area’s envi-ronmental, social ,engineering, and planning design. These studies will take three-four years to complete and provide local communities and other stakeholders with the chance to review the process and make their comments known.

Mike Lean, CEO Port of Hastings Development Authority

Foregone conclusionForegone conclusionI challenge Mike Lean, CEO of Port of Hastings Development Authority, to tell the public some truths.

The true depth of the shipping chan-nel, as stated on any and every map of Western Port, is not 20 metres, but is maintained at 14 to 15m by dredging. It is not a natural deep water port.

Just how much and where will dredging occur and where will the spoil be dumped?

Why is the government spending $110 million on assessments when, as Keith Platt reports (“Mayor blasts Labor’s new port”, The News 5/8/14), they are "to show the port is viable"?

Silly me, I thought assessments were done to see if development was viable and, if the assessments came back negative, development would not proceed.

How can the public trust any assess-ments done when you are operating on the assumption that the port will

proceed? Western Port is Ramsar listed - an international convention to conserve wetlands of great signifi -cance and to promote “wise use of the area.

How long will this beautiful bay last with at least eight huge ships a day going in and out. What about marine pests in ballast water and accidents causing oil spills? This whole eco-system depends on the health of the mangroves and seagrass beds.

Maybe we should buy less imported junk and buy Australian, and then the ships won't need to come at all.

Or, think about Portland, which is a deep water port with more feasible transport links.

Linda Drewitt, Balnarring

Ludicrous planLudicrous planI refer to Barrie McMillan’s letter (“Biased Reports”, Letters, The News 19/8/14) and wish to respond to the bias in his letter.

Nearly 60 years ago, then Premier Henry Bolte set aside 4000 hectares of land and dubbed Hastings “the Ruhr of Victoria”. Victoria was a very dif-ferent place. Western Port was almost dead from fertiliser runoff from sur-rounding farms. Enlightened farming practices have now seen it renew itself. Sixty years ago, the amount of carbon pollution was a great deal less than it is today.

Today, Bolte’s plan is ludicrous.Those of us with longer memories

than Mr McMillan might also recall that in 2009, when he was ports minister, Tim Pallas, told us Victoria would wither on the vine if we did not proceed with a massive new container port at Hastings. Now in opposition, Mr Pallas and his cohorts are saying Hastings is a bad idea and that we need a massive new port in Port Phil-lip, near Avalon.

When in opposition Mr Napthine favoured a bigger port at Geelong, not Hastings, especially for car imports and exports. Now he is gung-ho for Hastings.

This project appears to have been justifi ed by the Port of Melbourne which predict that container trade will quadruple by 2035, despite federal publications that predict that by 2030 national container throughput is pro-jected to double. In other words, the Port of Melbourne can handle contain-ers for at least the next 10-15 years.

Nowadays it seems both sides of politics pander to the corporate sector to get re-elected rather than work to represent the citizens who elect them, and neither side of politics should be trusted with our priceless environmen-tal assets.

We do not need more ports. We do need a visionary national trade and transport strategy making use of exist-ing deep water ports (Darwin, Bris-bane) closer to our trading partners and a reinvigorated national rail and coastal shipping network, a network that will deliver goods more cost ef-fectively across Victoria and Australia, with less pollution and more surety.

The world’s high volume container trade routes generally follow the equator, being the shortest distance to cover. Melbourne is a signifi cant deviation for container traffi c.

It is time to prepare for a very different future and we need a new economic model based on an intact environment not endless growth and the pursuit of profi t, not a parochial stoush about who has got the biggest port plans.

Victoria will not return to the Stone Age if it continues to pursue these types of developments. By 2030, Victoria’s population will increase by about two million, from the current

5.6 million (ABS 2012). Just this fact alone indicates that existing ports infrastructure is adequate for years to come.

Our grandchildren and their children will thank us when they realise that, rather than contribute to carbon pol-lution and global warming that such an undertaking would contribute to, they will instead be able to enjoy a (relatively) clean environment.

Finally, it is refreshing that this paper’s editorial standards remain independent. Its articles are fear-less, relevant to the community and free of right wing bias that is already provided by the bland local papers of the Murdoch press in the conservative and moribund Liberal held electorates right across the Mornington Peninsula.

Standing by ‘facts’Standing by ‘facts’I read with interest Betty Preston’s letter (“SPA is awaited”, The News 5/8/14) indicating that the comments contained in my letter in the 29 July edition (“Embarrassing?”) were not researched. My comments were based on facts, all of which were contained in the shire's aquatic centre consult-ant's (SGL Consulting) feasibility study, which is available on the shire's website and I would strongly encour-age Ms Preston to read.

SGL surveyed 400 people within the “catchment areas”, which forms the basis of the shire's community consul-tation. The key facts that support my comments are: Only 39 per cent of those people

surveyed actually use an aquatic centre; SGL commented that the results

indicate the second lowest rate of use of facilities in all LGA areas surveyed (over 150 surveys conducted over the past 15 years);

Of the 39 per cent of aquatic centre users, over 70 per cent currently use Pelican Park (Hastings) or Peninsula Swimming and Aquatic Centre (Rosebud) thereby having their needs adequately satisfi ed; Of the 61 per cent of persons that do not cur-

rently use an aquatic centre, the overwhelming reasons given were: “go to the beach”, closely followed by “not interested” and “have own pool”; Only 27 per cent (of the 61 per cent of non-

users) cited “lack of suitable facilities” as the reason for non-usage; If SPA was really needed, you would expect

that 80 per cent plus of non-users would cite “lack of suitable facilities” as their reason for non-usage, not a mere 27 per cent.

Does Ms Preston think that the “lack of suit-able facilities within the southern peninsula catchment area” that the SPA model is (very broadly) based upon has just shrunk further, with the recent announcement of a pool at the Point Nepean project? And what does she think the opening of the new Frankston aquatic centre will have on those south Mornington residents within the catchment area, let alone the impact on the

performance of Pelican Park, which will be jet-tisoned as people go to the facility that presents a newer, better and larger array of attractions?

Perhaps as interesting as these facts are, I have to wonder why none of them were included in the turgid report of 9 December 2013 that Ms Preston so glowingly refers to, notwithstanding that they were available before the release of the report? The answer is clear; the facts did not suit the council faction's aims and ambitions for a swimming centre on the Rosebud foreshore.

In similar fashion to Cr Gibb, Ms Preston appears too have a misconception that a warm water pool within SPA is "hydrotherapy". It is not. Did not the shire once consider running its own specialist hydrotherapy centre, but did not proceed due to the cost?

Also, has the shire not approved a planning permit for the Peninsula Swimming and Aquatic Centre to build a warm water pool within the Colchester Rd facility? The same type of facility as contemplated for SPA?

My comments were researched and I stand by them 100 per cent.

Sculpture approved, in roundabout waySculpture approved, in roundabout wayAFTER more than three years of highly charged debate, the Flinders sculpture proposal has fi nally been given the go ahead – in the short term at least.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors last week voted to approve the erection of a 4 metre tall bronze sculpture by internationally renowned local artist Andrew Rogers on the roundabout at the intersection of Cook and Wood streets, as had been proposed by a sub-committee of the Flinders Community Association.

However, debate over the contentious sculp-ture seems certain to continue with councillors’ approval being made on the proviso that the com-munity be consulted again on its long-term future in two years’ time.

A forward planning committee meeting was held at Flinders Town Hall on 28 July during which arguments for and against the sculpture proposal were presented. Council then received 181 written submissions, 90 in support and 91 against.

Opponents of the proposal contended that the process of selection for both the sculpture and loca-tion had not determined by an “open community process” and that the association and/or sub-committee did not have the authority to determine a matter of such community impact.

They also argued the process of selection of the sculpture should have been competitive, that the sculpture was not unique or relevant to the town-ship, and the location was not safe or suitable.

The council was urged to reject the proposal on the basis that the issue had divided the township and would continue to cause “ongoing commu-nity upset”.

But councillors were told the vast majority of Flinders residents – more than 90 per cent – had expressed no opinion on the sculpture. As such, councillors voted six to three in favour, subject to a “future review of community acceptance” within two years of the last Monday’s council meeting.

AS part of National Book Week, Rosebud Secondary College students were able to “borrow” people from their library last week.

Among those with interesting life stories invited to come in and act as living books were former First Lady of East Timor, Kirsty Sword Gusmao; founder and managing director of the Thin Green Line Foundation, Sean Willmore; police dispatcher, Rachel Murray; paraplegic world traveller and teacher, Emily Costello; musi-cian, Hannes Lackmann; Vietnam veteran, Mark Kinder; environmental-ist and owner of Polperro Dolphin Swims, Judy Muir; and police crime scene specialist, Grant Watkins.

The college’s new principal, Andrew Nicholls, spoke to students about his former life as a champion bike racer.

Before the living books arrived students read about them and chose who they would like to “borrow” for their 25-minute session.

Teacher librarian Samantha Jeacle admits to “stealing” the idea, with the fi rst living library being held in Denmark in 2000. Since then there have been thousands of similar events held around the world.

It was the third time the living library has been held at Rosebud.

Purple patch for Ryeas new park pops upWORK has begun on community park and garden at the site of the former ‘Purple House’ in Rye.

The Purple House, at 3 Lyons St, was demolished in December 2013 after it was deemed to be not suitable for further com-munity use.

The council agreed the site should be returned to the community as a “passive recreational outdoor space”.

Nepean Ward Councillor Hugh Fraser said a small ‘pocket park’ was now being established on the site.

“Following the demolition of the old building in December 2013, we’re excited to soon start work on creating a pocket park for use by the local community,” Cr Fraser said.

“Many members of the local Rye commu-nity have had an input into the design of the space, and we’re looking forward to getting it underway.

“It will be the fi rst ‘off-foreshore’ public park in Rye township and will be a great asset to the community.”

The council will work with the Traders As-sociation, which will undertake tree planting in the park, and Rye’s Up Community, to create a “peaceful community space”.

The park will include open spaces, gardens and a pathway.

Plaques recognising the Peninsula Women’s Information and Support Services who previously occupied the Purple House will be incorporated in the new garden.

Fellow Nepean Ward Councillor Tim Rodgers said the park provided a great op-portunity for more open space to be added for the benifi t of the local community.

“The community will be involved in creating a park of which we can all be proud, and I know we’re all looking forward to the outcome,” he said.

ACUPUNCTURE is an ancient treat-ment that has been used in Asia for over two thousand years. It is part of a sophisticated system of diagno-sis and practice called ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine’, known as TCM for short.

This system holds that acupuncture acts on 14 energetic channels, causing changes in the underlying organs and functions of the body.

It describes the treatment of symp-tom patterns that have existed for mil-lennia, based on clinical observation.

The TCM approach is a great ad-dition to western diagnostic skills because it can offer treatment for conditions that aren’t easily treatable within a western framework.

Peninsula Holistic General Practice often uses acupuncture to treat condi-tions such as neck pain, back pain, musculoskeletal injuries, infections, sleep disorders, migraine headaches, digestive issues, stress and anxiety to name but a few.

Although very fi ne needles are traditionally used, laser acupuncture is an effective alternative for children as there are no needles and no fear of discomfort.

It can be fantastic for acute illnesses and injuries, especially in children, who often seem to respond rapidly.

Acupuncture is available at Penin-sula Holistic General Practice by Dr Michelle Woolhouse and Dr Calan Khong and attracts a Medicare rebate.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Hearing is the only locally owned and operated hearing clinic in Rye. Caroline Ling is your local audiologist and has over 14 years of experience.

One in six Australians are affected by hearing loss – that’s an estimated 3.5 million people.

The number of Australians who are hearing impaired or deaf is increasing due to long-term exposure to excessive noise in the workplace, the environment and as a result of an ageing popula-tion. Hearing loss is projected to increase to 1 in

every 4 Australians by 2050.Hearing Awareness Week (August 25 - 31) aims

to highlight the issues faced by people with hear-ing loss. The organisers of Hearing Awareness Week, the Deafness Forum of Australia, continu-ously campaign for greater recognition for this issue.

Much needs to be done to address the level of unmanaged hearing loss in the community. There are many people in our aged care facilities who have not been diagnosed and sometimes their

hearing loss is confused with dementia. In addi-tion, indigenous hearing health is a massive pub-lic health problem in remote parts of Australia.

During Hearing Awareness Week, Mornington Peninsula Hearing will be offering free hearing screening tests, hearing health advice, hearing aid advice and ear wax checks.

Places are limited and by appointment only so call Caroline on 5985 1889 to secure your spot or if you have any other hearing health enquires.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Live kangaroo sought for troop mascotLive kangaroo sought for troop mascotCompiled by Cameron McCulloughTHE Police Magistrate will preside at the Frankston Court on 21st Septem-ber next.

***WE are pleased to state that Mrs Lloyd (wife of Cr J. Lloyd) has now fully re-covered from her recent severe illness.

***THE secretary of the Frankston Brass Band acknowledges with thanks the sum of £5 5s, donated by H. Masterton Esq., towards the funds of the band.

***OVER £70 has been collected at Mornington for the Patriotic Fund. Ladies are daily employed at the shire hall making garments. The race club has donated £5 5s to the fund.

***MR P. Bailey of the Frankston Nurs-ery, assisted by a few of the lady mem-bers, tastefully decorated the stage for the last choral concert and quite a number of complimentary remarks were heard about the pleasing effect.

***THE Frankston Brass Band will play selections on Sunday afternoon next (weather permitting) in the vicinity of the Pier, when a collection will be taken up to go towards the Patriotic Fund. It is probable that some patriotic addresses will be delivered between the numbers.

***THOSE interested in giving a farewell to our Frankston lads who have enlist-ed for the war, are requested to attend a meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening next, (after sport’s meeting) for the purpose of arranging

date, and other necessary details. ***

THE annual meeting of the Frankston Sport’s Club will be held on Monday evening in the Mechanics Hall at 8.15 o’clock, for the purpose of receiving annual report and balance sheet, and general. A full attendance of members is requested.

***THE dance held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Saturday evening last, in aid of the permanent endow-ment of the Frankston cot in con-nection with the Children’s Hospital passed off very successfully. There was a good attendance and a most enjoyable time was spent dancing to the capital music supplied by Messrs Hay and Rogerson (piano and violin). Before breaking up, a dainty supper (supplied by the ladies) was handed around, which was much appreciated. Miss Reynolds acted as Hon Sec to the function.

***THE Lord Mayor (Alderman Heanessy) stated on Tuesday that Lieut Colonel McCay, in command of the Expeditionary Force, had said that cardigan jackets were particu-larly needed for the troops, and they would be appreciated on the transport vessels, Draught boards, ship quoits, and boxing gloves would enable much pleasure to be obtained on the voyage. Gifts of vaseline or other ointments, as well as boracic acid were also re-quired, in order to give relief where inconvenience might be experienced through much walking.

***

TO the order of various locals, Mr Garrood has in course of preparation an enlarged photo of the combined Peninsula football team, which recent-ly played the Essendon League club at Frankston. A presentation of this framed portrait is shortly to bet made to Mr H. Masterton, of Frankston. We have seen a copy of the picture taken by Mr H. Garrood, by fl ash light of the banquet held in the Mechanics’ Hall, and it is one of the best of the kind we have seen taken, being very clear and distinct.

***OUR readers are reminded of the com-ing fancy and poster skating carnival to be held in the Somerville Horti-cultural Hall, on Wednesday evening next, when trophies will be given for the best fancy dress (lady and gentle-man), best poster costume (lady and gentleman), most graceful couple and best sustained character (lady and gen-tleman). As half the proceeds are to be devoted to the Patriotic Fund, it will also prove as an additional incentive to attend, and there will doubtless be a record attendance.

***THE 49th annual report and review of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home and Seaside Home at Frankston has just been published, and shows a very satisfactory state of affairs. The receipts from all sources for the year amounted to £1368 4s 9d and the ex-penditure to £1362 17s 6d, leaving a small credit balance to commence this year’s operations. The number of boys dealt with during the year was 104. The general work carried out by the

various branches of the institution, under the direction of Mr Minton, the honorary superintendent seem to be in a healthy state, and promises well for a continuance of the good work now being carried on.

***THE annual ball in connection with the Hastings I.O.R. Tent takes place on Friday next. This function has come to be looked forward to by nearly all lov-ers of dancing as one of the best held, and the management this year are doing their level best to sustain their reputation, therefore those who at-tend are assured of a capital evening’s amusement.

***IT has been suggested to us that as nearly all the troops are allowed to take a “mascot” with them on their way to give them “good luck,” it would be a nice thing to provide our boys with a kangaroo to take with them and help to remind them of their homes in sunny Australia. If one was caught and presented to them we feel sure they would feel very proud and take every care of it.

***The ladies of Frankston have made up and forwarded the following articles for the use of the soldiers :- 72 gross safety pins (donated), 25 under fl an-nels, 3 fl annelette undershirts, 11 fl an-nel bed shirts, 10 fl annette bed shirts, 15 fl annette shirts, 35 bandages, 64 slings.***Mr L. T Malcolm, of Frankston, has been appointed Seargent in the B Squad, 4th Light Horse.

***TO THE EDITOR. Sir, Kindly spare me space in your columns to make a remark on the attitude shown by some of the laborites last Thursday evening at Crib Point, when Mr Turnbull was speaking in the Liberals’ interest.

From the beginning of the meeting it was very evident thatt they didn’t intend to let the gentleman speak, as every time he started some ignorant person would interject and block those who did wish to hear him from doing so.

I happened to be a visitor to Crib Point, and expected when I went to the meeting that Mr Turnbull would be al-lowed to speak without any interject-ing, but to my surprise some of those present did not act like Britishers at all.

I also happened to be staying in Hastings on the next evening, when Mr J. K. McDougall, the Labor candi-date, was speaking, and of course went to hear him.

Both the Liberal and Labor sup-porters were well represented, but the Liberals did not interject while he was speaking. but did what men should do -sit still and hear what they have to say, even if they don’t agree with all that is being said. Hoping that the next time I visit a meeting of the kind at Crib Point, the Laborites will behave in a more manly manner. Thanking you for your valuable space. Yours, etc, AGENT DISGUSTED.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 August 1914.

Confessions of a closet hoarderFOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughWHEN you get down to it, what chance did I have? There are those for whom everything is in its right place. It’s hole-punched and fi led away – al-phabetically, chronologically or under the Dewey Decimal system. Theirs is a life that is uncluttered, uncom-plicated and (truth be told) wholly uninteresting. Then there are those of us who, in technical terms, have a lot of stuff. To the uninitiated, it’s mostly rubbish. In truth, this dazzling galaxy of objects consists of mementos, ar-tifacts and souvenirs of a life lived to the full. If I’m being honest though, I don’t just collect a few things along the way. I am a snowball careening down a mountainside, gathering pace and growing ever larger. There’s no point denying it any longer. My name is Stuart McCullough and I am a hoarder.

Frankly, this was my destiny. To try and deny it would be to defy the natural laws of the universe. It was preordained that I should be a hoarder because my father before me was (and remains) a resolute hoarder of near unimaginable dimensions. My hoarding proclivities are naturally curbed somewhat by a lack of space. In contrast, my father has twenty acres and can let his instincts run ‘free range’. He has kept everything. And of all the things that he has retained over decades, much of it resides in the shed.

When I was six years old, I broke my leg. The short story is that I fell out of a tree whilst attempting to fl y.

I have retained a spectacular respect for gravity ever since. The break was pretty bad and I was in plaster from my ankles right up to my hips. For months, I was a prisoner trapped in a plaster cell. To get around, I had to lie front side down on a trolley and roll across the slate. Carpet was terrain that was too tough to handle and I resorted to yelling at my siblings to

fetch things. They may claim that, plaster or not, I never really stopped.

It used to be that when in plaster, people would sign your cast. For a period, I was pretty much considered the town mutant and many of my classmates were driven out to gaze upon my hideous visage. This humili-ation was especially acute given the design of the cast itself. Whilst it

stretched from hip to ankle, it had large holes cut out in the front and the back. For modesty’s sake, a pair of oversized underpants was placed over the top of the cast. It was beyond humiliating.

Question: what’s worse than being stuck in a plaster cast and having to move yourself around on a trolley? Answer: being stuck in a plaster cast and moving around on a trolley whilst wearing a gigantic pair of Reg Grundys. One of my classmates summed it up best. Upon sighting my repulsive countenance and extensive plaster cast, he shook his head and simply said: “This was always going to happen.” Why he held this view was never explained but it was an observation that would haunt me for years to come. It was, in fact, the fi rst time I was ever typecast. Or, to be strictly accurate, type plaster cast.

Given the considerable acreage, all visitors were asked to sign the plaster. Upon refl ection, this was a monumental act of cruelty. Sign-ing a card is all right. Putting John Hancock in a book can be a sign of respect. But to sign a cast is simply drawing unnecessary attention to a defect. Frankly, it felt like people were rubbing it in. Regardless of any objection, my cast was soon home to an array of drawings and get-well messages. When I was fi nally cut free of my plaster chains, it was like being liberated. I was allowed to keep the remains. Goodness knows why. It is enough to say that when I moved out of home, the plaster cast was one of

many things I left behind. It sits in my father’s shed, hanging from the roof.

After thirty years, I’m prepared to call it – I doubt my old plaster cast will be of any further use. It has, I suspect, long since served its purpose. My father, on the other hand, is not yet ready to let it go. I can only guess how he might still plan to press it into service. Christmas tree decora-tion? Spring carnival hat? A warning to others who might secretly harbour a desire to throw themselves from a tree in the hope they might fl y? Maybe all of the above.

It’s not the only object from my childhood that has been jealously pre-served. There are the rocks I collected between the ages of eight and twelve after which time I lost interest, much as I had done with stamps, coins and football cards before them. There’s the pottery I made that is so ugly it’s pretty much the Elephant Man of the ceramic world. I’m not sure what drives him to hang on to all that stuff. Maybe it invokes another time. Perhaps he hopes to curate an exhibi-tion and is simply waiting for me to do something remotely noteworthy. It probably doesn’t matter. Whether physical or not, we all collect things over time. They are part of who we are. They also remind us where we’ve come from. Items like my plaster cast shouldn’t be discarded. They should be celebrated and, if practical, mounted for future generations to admire. When it comes to my plaster cast, I plan to do exactly that.

*** COUNTRY singer Aleyce Simmonds releases her new single My Life Drives Me to Drink, the 3rd single to be lifted from Aleyce’s Golden Guitar nominated album, Believe.

Featuring Mt Eliza singer/song-writer Lachlan Bryan on backing vo-cals, My Life Drives Me to Drink is an honest, relatable, old-school country song.

Aleyce said: “The song was written on the drive home after an afternoon of swapping life stories at the pub with friends. It is a simple song about a simple fact of life”.

The accompanying music video currently sits at no.15 on the Coun-try Music Channel Top 50 chart. Last week, Aleyce was announced as a fi -nalist in Best Album, Best Single and Female Artist of the Year categories at the Independent Country Music Awards of Australia.

PerformanceIN a classic case of “When the going gets tough … the tough get creative”, Allan Caswell has taken his brand new album Sometimes When You Lose You Win from the initial concept to be-ing up on iTunes in barely a month.

“It was an idea that my wife Marian and Roger Corbett cooked up as a fun-draiser for my appeal in my lawsuit against Sony,” Caswell said.

“Marian wrote the title track with me, organised the cover art, helped me select the songs and generally co-ordinated the whole thing. They’re my songs but in many ways this album is as much Roger’s vision as it is mine … he played most of the instruments (with help from Ben Corbett, Dave Skinner and Damien Odell) and each song was given its own sound and ap-proach”.

Caswell failed to convince a NSW judge last month that his Prisoner TV show theme, 1979’s On The Inside, had been “ripped off” by the US band Alabama for their Christmas in Dixie song in 2003.

The album features the Christmas in Dixie On The Inside Medley, which has enjoyed a great deal of exposure on radio and YouTube and a couple of other songs pertinent to the Sony case.

It is a more alt-country departure from his recent classic country out-ings. The overall feel is very “up”, anger is expressed in humour and lyri-cally and musically it is among Cas-well’s very best work.

Caswell’s co-writers on Sometimes When You Lose You Win are Marian Caswell on the title track, Mt Eliza singer/songwriter, Lachlan Bryan (Re-ally Stupid People and A Little Weird Round Here) Dave Skinner (Life Can Be a Problem to the Working Man) and Drew McAlister (Your Memory Don’t Live Here Any More).

The rest are all Caswell originals.The CD version of Sometimes When

You Lose You Win will be available in a little over a week’s time via [email protected] and through The Songwriters Fighting Fund Facebook site. All profi ts go to funding the legal appeal including the iTunes down-

loads.www.allancaswell.com

***MELBOURNE 70s rockers Taste have announced that they have remas-tered tracks from their albums Tickle Your Fancy and Nights of Love to be available on CD for the very fi rst time next month.

The two albums will be combined to give the greatest hits album The Best of Taste. Tracks included are Boys Will Be Boys, Tickle Your Fancy, Little Ro-mance and my favourite Rock’n’Roll Superstar.

Taste guitarist/singer Ken Murdoch said: “A new album is planned with all the original members and a concert. This is an exciting project for the band and we are excited that the YouTube clip of Tickle Your Fancy has had more than 23,000 hits”.

Taste evolved out of a band called Cloud Nine formed by Ken Mur-

doch and Michael Gemini in 1970. Joey Amenta later joined the group and Taste was born. They had a Top 40 chart hit in 1976 with Tickle Your Fancy (Bootleg) followed by the Top 20 hit Boys Will Be Boys.

***IT pays to be a superhero. Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. has topped Forbe’s list of the highest paid actors, with his Avengers co-star, Australia’s Chris Hemsworth also making the top fi ve. Downey Jr came in at no.1 with estimated earnings of $81 million.

Mark Wahlberg is negotiating to star in a movie reboot of The Six Million Dollar Man. The show ran on US TV from 1974 to 1978 and well-known fi lmmaker, Peter Berg (The Kingdom, Hancock, Prime Suspect) will bring it to the big screen. The movie centres on an astronaut injured in a crash and

is remade using powerful artifi cial limbs and becomes superhuman. It was a popular science fi ction series which injected love interest by later spinning off The Bionic Woman (Lind-say Wagner). The show starred Lee Majors and Darren McGavin.

By Cliff Ellen

SPRING approaches, an attempt at happiness devoid of cynicism. Diffi -cult, but persistence being my middle name I press on. Howdy Doody boys and girls! Good, I’m glad we got that over with. Back to serious matters. The dangers of getting old. A point of view. The gradual changeover from the excesses of youth to the excess-es of seriousness. Having the soul in top gear (wowserish) despite the heavies of porn, politics, illness and religion. High morals appear to be a good thing, but surely the odd touch of debauchery can be let loose as a variable, even for health reasons? Do I choose righteousness and with it be-come a rotten apple? People on hand to tell you to follow the path of pure goodness (as they see it) but invari-ably people have their own demons. Two pots, special occasions three, but the body complains, in control, afraid of excesses, and yet still tempted by the look of the Woolworths shiny ap-ple. Temperance reigns, voluptuous-ness lingers, death is ever present and vague thoughts of eventual wis-dom (advanced cynicism) set aside in dreams. Thankfully, we have Joe Hockey for comedy.

***It’s all very well to compare our pre-sent day Coalition with George Or-well’s 1984 and assume the public are buying this, but in fact the pub-

lic is not buying this. The majority is buying this. Are you part of the majority? Ask yourself if you enjoy watching The Footy Show. If guilty, you clearly form part of this possi-bly mentally disturbed majority, and no doubt admire Andrew Bolt, Garry Lyon, James Brayshaw and Christo-pher Pyne? Give me a break.

***Eddie McGuire came out strongly in support of Nathan Buckley and the rebuilding gig. No surprise with the big question of the survival of some 80,000 members in 2015 and sup-portive justifi cation for his changeo-ver coaching idea. We Collingwood supporters appreciate Eddie’s efforts and eventually forgive Buckley’s treatment of Didak and Jolly, but the crux for many of us was the dump-ing of magpie royalty in Heath Shaw, fi rst mooted by his Uncle Tony? It was never about making the fi nals; it was about born and bred heroes. We support our team, live in hope, but it still hurts.

***Resentment appears to start very early in life for a host of reasons not necessarily connected to poverty or bad treatment. Way back in state school we had this boy Keating who seemed to have one purpose in life: to give me a thrashing. He was from a poor family, but in fact no poorer than

mine. I don’t think he had any real mates, whereas I was a best mate with not only the best footballer/cricketer at school but also on excellent terms with the best two fi st fi ghters. Com-mon sense? I suspect he thought I didn’t deserve my status: hopeless at sport, the major attraction to fame, and reasonably good at a few things but a master of none. He cornered me in front of the leading players group, no doubt hoping to put me in my rightful hall of infamy place. Alas, my tough friend Sonny stepped in, giving him a quick thrashing. Strange thing, resentment; likewise jealousy.

***National security reforms by way of concerns over the threat of terrorism and the retention of data for two years sounds sensible, but giving ASIO the power to hack into an innocent third party’s computer, in fact whole net-works, is the big worry. “People” make these decisions, likely to back-date forever. Any less or more is ex-cessive and dangerous.

***As kids we had the occasional yon-ny fi ghts with a group of scruffy kids known as Catholics. We would scream out at them “catholic dogs jump like frogs in and out the wa-ter”. They would respond, replacing catholic for protestant. In retrospect neither group had a clue. Fortunately

all forgotten on reaching puberty in favour of females (of any religion). Mind you, we had our suspicions of foreign females for a year or two after that.

***I was watching Cary Grant (To Catch a Thief) being served soup and quiche by his Asian housekeeper on his bal-cony overlooking the French Rivi-era. Shall I join Cary with my $70 million lottery winnings? Four bank accounts. One at $20 million for re-search into reversing the body clock. Two at $20 million apiece, send off the interest monthly to family, friends, charities; one at $10 million for my daily exuberances? Have a lift built in. Top shelf computer system; write my column. Talk to the kids on Skype, argue about their urgent need for more and more money. Lost the plot of the fi lm. No; it’s all too hard. Stop buying tickets? No-the dream remains. A live-in Asian housekeep-er? Do they have winters in France?

***ANZ Bank CEO Mike Smith and his apparent confusion with the magic word-mandate. When did the public give a mandate for pension changes, medicare costs, cuts to family ben-efi ts, education and health? If Tony tells us no pension changes, no tax cuts, a million new jobs and the like and he’s voted in with these promises

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt RYE stormed its way into the Nepean League fi nals with a devastating display against Sorrento on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve.

With their season on the line, Rye needed to beat the Sharks to assure themselves a fi nals berth.

Had the Demons lost, old foes Rosebud would have grabbed their place in the top bracket after smashing Devon Meadows.

At their best, we were under no illusion that Rye was good enough to beat the Sharks. The only problem was that they lacked consistency throughout the season.

On Saturday, there was no hint of bad Rye. They were all class from the fi rst bounce to the fi nal siren, winning 15.11 (101) to 10.11 (71).

The Demons made the opposition look slow and old, such was their ability to win the ball on the inside and then run and spread the Sharks on the outside.

It all started with Rhett Sutton in the middle of the ground. The Rye skipper was the best player on the ground, whether it was dominating the ruck or winning his own footy around the ground.

If Sutton was the best player on the

ground, then Ryan Semmel wasn’t too far behind.

He dominated the clearances, tackled sensationally, gained huge meterage with his kicking and set the example for the rest to follow. It was this performance that no doubt had the Foxtel guys excited on the TV show, The Rookie. It was also the breakout performance that Rye supporters had been waiting for.

Ryan’s brothers, Luke and Jake, were also superb over the four quarter journey, whether it was through the middle of the ground or in attack.

Coach Ben Holmes was damaging at full forward, fi nishing with six goals. He kicked three in the fi rst quarter and dominated Chris Bagot.

Ben Cain was also dominant through the middle for the Demons while Adam Kirkwood, Ryan Taylor and Anthony Joel were in control of things down back.

The Sorrento forward line was smashed. Leigh Poholke fi nished with three goals but didn’t touch the footy in the fi rst three quarters. Myles Pitt couldn’t get near it and Ben Schwarze was non existant despite kicking a couple.

The Sharks only had three good players. Troy Shwarze worked tirelessly, as did Daniel Grant, while Guy Stringer tried valiantly down back

and broke even with Aaron Findlay.The likes of Kayle Stringer-Morris,

Leigh Treeby and James Hallahan were soundly beaten and Dave Lawson, Grant Johnson and Trevor Mattison were shown a clean pair of heels. Ryan Williams in the ruck was also well beaten.

While Rye will look forward to its chance to beat Red Hill in the cut–throat elimination fi nal this weekend, Sorrento must regroup and face Dromana.

People can say all they like that Sorrento had nothing to play for, given they would fi nish with the double chance regardless of the result. That’s garbage. Sorrento was completely outrun and outplayed.

The Sharks had a heap of wounds re-opened on Saturday and lack of leg speed was clearly one of them. On the big grounds, they are going to be found wanting.

Dromana will be ready and waiting for the Sharks after giving Red Hill a football lesson.

Like they did earlier in the year, Dromana punished the Hillmen in a quarter of footy, booting 12 goals to three in the second quarter, opening up a match winning 55 point lead. The fi nal margin was 62 points, 18.16 (124) to 8.14 (62).

Steven Gaertner fi nished the game

with fi ve goals, three of them coming in that explosive second quarter.

Jay Neratzoglou dominated for the Tigers, shutting down Jarred Eames, while Aaron Coyle was given the tough job on Hillmen full forward Jarryd Douglas and kept him goalless.

Andrew Kiely was back in the Dromana team and while he didn’t do a lot, he still fi nished with three goals, as did the fl eet–footed Kieran Voelkl. Daniel Waddell is a wonderful leader and he was inspirational on Saturday.

Paul Wintle did the job on Anthony Bruhn for the Hillmen and was one of their few wins for the day, while Dan McNamara and Jake Mitchell provided plenty of run.

It was a tough fi nal home and away game for the Hillmen and they now must regroup before their showdown with Rye, a side that beat them earlier in the year.

Rosebud needed to beat Devon Meadows to ensure they gave themselves every opportunity to play fi nals had Rye gone down.

They kept their end of the bargain with a 22.13 (145) to 12.4 (76) victory.

Keegan Downie booted six goals for the winners and was one of the best players on the ground while Greg Bentley and Ryan Spooner were outstanding.

Craig Thorne was the best of the

Panthers, along with Pat Harmes, while Steve McInnes fi nished with a team high four goals.

Crib Point fi nished minor premiers with a 19.22 (136) to 8.9 (57) win against Pearcedale.

The Pies have now earned the week break, which for any team at this time of the year, is a timely pick up.

Jon Flack kicked fi ve goals and Waide Symes four for the winners while Brad Arnold and Luke Herrington were again at their best. Jack Johnson and Dean Karies also continued their outstanding form.

Dean Janssen and Troy Jacobson were the best of the Panthers.

Frankston Bombers were made to work hard to get the four points against Tyabb, winning 11.17 (83) to 8.7 (55).

Jay Reynolds was the best player on the ground with four goals.

In the fi nal game, Hastings fi nished its season off strongly, beating Somerville in a great contest, 13.8 (86) to 11.10 (76).

Ben King and Josh Mulheron were outstanding for the Blues while Jedd Sutton kicked four goals and along with David Hirst were dominant for the Eagles.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt LANGWARRIN will face Mornington in the Peninsula League Elimination Final at Eric Bell Reserve this weekend after beating Frankston YCW by 16 points.

The Kangas needed the unlikely win to ensure it played fi nals for the fi rst time in Peninsula League.

As it turned out, Edithvale-Aspendale got the job done against Mt Eliza, which meant Langwarrin would have made it on percentage, even if they had of gone down to YCW.

It was the perfect warm up for fi nals for the Kangaroos, having beaten reigning premiers Edithvale and raging fl ag favourites YCW in the past three weeks.

Prior to the game, Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said that he wanted his team to earn their place in the fi nals.

“When it’s all said and done, you can say that we had enough wins throughout the year to play fi nals,” said Artico.

“However, for our group and their development, it was important that we made a statement and really earned that place in the fi nals.

“I really couldn’t fault us this afternoon. Other than over using the footy a bit in the third quarter, I thought our intensity and pressure was fi rst rate.

“It just showed once again that despite the opposition, if you can bring work rate and intensity over four quarters, you give yourself every opportunity to win,” said Artico.

Asked whether the fact that Frankston YCW would fi nish on top of the ladder and earn the week break regardless of the result on Saturday, Artico said he didn’t buy into that thought.

“I’ve been in YCW’s position with both Langwarrin and Dromana over the past eight or nine years and when you know you have a week break, you throw everything into the fi nal round.

“You don’t fl irt with form and you don’t tinker with game plans. Knowing you have a week off, you have a crack.

“The reality is that we played better footy for longer and I’m sure YCW would tell you the same thing,” said Artico.

The Kangas opened up a 17-point break at quarter time when they kicked four goals to one. They led by 24 points at half time and by 29 at the fi nal change.

Beau Muston was the best player on the ground with four goals and Matty Dimkos kicked three, while Nick Tuddenham and Andrew Withers shone.

Ash Eames worked hard for the Stonecats against the ever improving Matt Naughton and Dave Bodley got off the leash a bit with fi ve goals. Bodley won the league goal kicking award with 53 goals.

Edithvale-Aspendale fi nished off Mt Eliza’s season and in doing so

ensured its top three position and the double chance.

The Eagles led by 23 points at the fi rst change and while the bruised and battered Redlegs had a red hot go in the third term, they couldn’t sustain it, going down 15.14 (104) to 8.12 (60).

Jarred Garth fi nished with six goals for the winners and Todd Woodbridge booted three while Lachy Foley and Keith De Souza in his eighth game were dominant.

Sam Gill and Rohan Heasley led the way for the Redlegs, who would be bitterly disappointed that they did not make fi nals.

Mornington will ease into this weekend’s elimination fi nal against Langwarrin on the back of a monstrous 93-point win over Pines.

The Pythons knocked Mornington off in one of the upsets of the season earlier this year, however, there was no danger of that happening again on Saturday.

The Dogs were 35 points up at quarter time and 64 up at the halfway mark. They ran out 22.21 (153) to 9.6 (60) winners.

Jackson Calder fi nished with a game high eight goals to fi nish the season with 46 while Dale Nolan booted six to give him 43 for the year.

Beau Hendry was outstanding for the Pythons while Jake Prosser worked hard for his three goals.

Bonbeach also warmed up for a qualifying fi nal showdown and grand fi nal replay against Edithvale with a commanding 114-point win against Chelsea.

The Seagulls led the Sharks by 17 points at the fi rst change and the difference was just nine points at the long interval.

However, the home side booted 18 goals to two after the break to win 24.15 (159) to 6.9 (45).

Owen Hulett kicked seven goals in a best on ground performance in just his sixth game of the season for the Sharks, while Calhan McQueen kicked fi ve majors, giving him nine in the past two weeks. Jackson Casey was also among the best players yet again. Of Casey’s 18 matches this season, he has been in the best 13 times. Of those 13, he has been named fi rst or second best on nine occasions.

Todd Gardiner and James Sivijs were the best of the Gulls.

Seaford fi nished its season with two wins on the trot, beating Karingal 12.15 (87) to 9.13 (67).

The Bulls led the Tigers at every change, however, were outscored four goals to four behinds in the last quarter.

Ben Crowe led from the front for his young team with four goals while Tom Shaw and James Quanchi also played great games.

Grant Paxton and Grant Goodall were superb for the Bulls, as was Aaron Paxton and Tom Wilkinson.

100% of your fi re levy goes to our fi re servicesLast year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the

Victorian Bushfi res Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fi re services,

not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession.

100 per cent of the fi re levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and

Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes fi refi ghters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective

clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fi re stations and 2,300 trucks.

Each year, Victoria’s fi refi ghters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and

grass fi res, fi res in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fi re levy.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

THE MPJFL Youth Girls faced Cranbourne in its fi rst preliminary fi nal, and greatest test yet.

The experienced Cranbourne side have been a power house team in youth girls football for the last fi ve years.

They went through the South East Juniors (SEJ) Youth Girls season undefeated and in the only game the MPJFL girls played against them during the year, they won by 49 points.

At the end of preliminary fi nal, the difference was just one point. Unfortunately, enough to see the end of this team’s amazing season of improvement.

They went into the game with the maximum 21 players with six on the bench, which has been the norm for the last few weeks, indicating the increase in team numbers and the growth in girls wanting to play football.

It is hard to believe that this team is only two years old, forming two weeks before the start of the SEJ Youth Girls Competition.

In its fi rst season the team competed well, qualifying and playing in the top division and fi nishing the season fi fth out of 12 teams, but missing out on fi nals.

In only four games last season the team had enough players to have a bench.

This season every game the team had players running off the bench with several games played with a maximum 21 players.

The team plays under the MPJFL Youth Girls banner and has players coming from Rye, Rose-bud, McCrae, Bittern, Hastings, Somerville, Mt Martha, Mornington and Mt Eliza areas.

It is truly a Mornington Peninsula team with many of the girls this year playing their fi rst season of football in a team competition.

Girls football is one of the fastest growing sports and the development of this team over the

last two years is a clear example of this growth. The team has been coached by local sporting

identity and community bank senior manager Gary Sanford and his daughter Vicki as assistant coach. Unfortunately for Vicki prior to this season’s fi rst game she did her ACL playing netball, which was a huge loss to the team. Vicki was instrumental in getting the team together last season and won its best and fairest in the team’s fi rst year.

“This team has gone from strength to strength from the very fi rst training run together last year,” said Gary.

“The improvement in each individual player and the team as a whole was clearly evident in today’s game, competing against quality experi-enced opposition.

“Although the team lost today every player gave 100% and played great team football. I thank every player for how they competed all year and improved each game.

“I hope these girls stick together next year and go on to enjoy even more success in the future.”

The team has had tremendous support from the Beleura Junior Football Club who allowed the team to use their grounds and facilities for training twice a week this year. It also hosted two of the seasons games at Dallas Brooks Oval in Mornington during the year.

“You can be assured girls football will con-tinue to grow and you will here a lot more about this group of girls successes on the football fi eld in the future,” said Gary
