KINGSTON’S Green Wedge still faces the prospect of being used as a waste hub for metropolitan Melbourne despite Kingston Council opposing any such move.

A Statewide Waste and Resource Recovery Infrastructure Plan (SWR-RIP) released by the state government in June has again named Clayton and Dingley as potential locations for a waste hub.

Kingston councillors highlighted the risk at the latest public council meeting late last month and have urged Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne and Environment Minister Lisa Neville to amend the plan to remove any mention of Kingston’s Green Wedge being used as a waste hub.

Council wants Green Wedge land not privately owned to be used for a chain of parks for public use in the long term.

At last month’s meeting Cr Paul Peulich expressed fears about the state government leaving the door open to waste operations in Kingston’s Green Wedge.

“The concern that I have is that this plan is still unclear as to the standing of materials recycling in the Green Wedge and the fact that it also nomi-nates … hubs of state importance in the metropolitan region [including] the Clayton and Dingley precinct,” he said.

All councillors backed a motion to write to the relevant government ministers and local state MPs for their support to exclude Kingston’s Green Wedge from any future waste hub plans.

Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill told The News he had spoken to state government representatives since last month’s council meeting.

“I have had discussions with the of-fice of the Environment Minister and I’ve been assured the SWIRIP is basi-cally just a positioning paper. It is not a specific definitive paper in the way a planning document is.”

Cr Gledhill did note there is still a danger parts of the Green Wedge could be used as a waste hub and said uncer-tainty would remain until the Planning Minister approved a C143 planning amendment lodged by council in May to rezone the Clayton-Dingley pre-cinct from a Special Use Zone, allow-ing waste-related activities, to a Green Wedge A Zone.

“At the end of the day of the day what we need to provide certainty in that part of the Green Wedge is C143 to be approved. Until we have a de-finitive planning document … we will always remain up in the air,” he said.

The Statewide Waste and Resource Recovery Infrastructure Plan aims to establish seven Regional Waste and Resource Recovery Implementation Plans “to capture the needs and priori-ties of each region of Victoria” includ-ing Melbourne for the next 30 years.

LABOR has refused to confirm whether electorate officers were sec-onded to work on election campaigns at Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc before the state election last year amid allegations taxpayers’ money was mis-used to pay for election campaigning.

Three unnamed Victorian Labor MPs and a party official told the Her-ald Sun last week they feared par-liamentary rules banning the use of electorate office funds for political campaigning had been broken.

The Labor insiders said electorate staff had allegedly been “pooled” from Labor Upper House MPs electorate staff to work on the party’s Commu-nity Action Network field campaign aimed at winning government.

Labor media adviser Kosta Pandos asked for a statement to be attributed to a government spokesperson when contacted by The News about the al-legations.

“These allegations are desperate and untrue. All activity undertaken by electorate officers, and Victorian Labor pool staff, was in keeping with parliamentary rules,” the statement read.

“Pool staff arrangements have been in place in the Victorian Parliament for almost 20 years and have been over-seen by presiding officers from both sides of politics.

“Pooling resources is an efficient way for political parties to support MPs and conduct parliamentary party business.”

Repeated requests to confirm wheth-

er electorate officers campaigned in Frankston, Carrum or Mordialloc went unanswered.

Labor’s election campaign also in-cluded help from unpaid volunteers and union members.

Labor’s “boots on the ground” ap-proach to electioneering in the lead up to November’s state election has been credited by Premier Daniel Andrews as a key factor in the party’s victories in marginal seats.

The so-called sand belt seats of Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc are pivotal to both Labor and the Liberal Party’s chances of forming government.

All three electorates swung to Labor last November with Paul Edbrooke, Sonya Kilkenny and Tim Richardson winning the seats from Liberal incum-bents to contribute to a total of 48 seats won across the state against the Liberal National Coalition’s 38 seats.

Former Carrum Liberal MP Donna Bauer said “numerous people” had ex-

pressed concerns about the possible misuse of taxpayer funds.

“It is well known that the Carrum electorate was a key focal point for that Community Action Network campaign and that large numbers of its campaign-ers were very active in the electorate throughout 2014 and on election day,” she said.

“Carrum constituents are understand-ably keen to know whether the ALP misused any taxpayer resources during the campaign for the seat of Carrum.

“They are worried that voters in Car-rum may have been deceived by what was portrayed as a community cam-paign but may in fact have been a pro-fessional campaign, resourced using il-licitly obtained taxpayer funds. I believe they are entitled to know the truth.”

The Victorian Parliament’s Legisla-tive Council will investigate the allega-tions about the misuse of paid electorate officers and decide whether an in-depth inquiry is needed.

Door forcedTHIEVES jumped a fence to rob an Edithvale Rd, Edithvale house, 11.30pm, Friday. The 45-year-old victim told Kingston police the culprits entered through an adjoining vacant milk bar, corner of Vincent St, and forced the door to a garage. They forced another door into the house where the man and his family were sleeping upstairs. A wallet containing $1500 and three credit cards, car keys and his wife’s handbag containing $30 and two credit cards was stolen. The handbag was later found empty on the front porch. The thieves left via the front door, taking the victim’s Toyota Camry sedan, registration XPT009. A passer-by found property belonging to the victim on the Princes Hwy near Bairnsdale. Anyone with information should call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

Axe used in robberyA MOTORCYCLIST produced an axe and became aggressive when robbing a Mentone service station, 7.10pm, Thurs-day. The 44-year-old female attendant saw the rider pull up beside a bowser on a motorbike with no registration plates at the station on the corner of Lower Dandenong and Boundary roads. The attendant became suspicious when he began to walk over to the conveni-ence store without removing his helmet and face mask. She quickly bolted the door and motioned to him to remove the items, which he did. The man entered the store and waited for another custom-er to leave. He then produced a small axe from a backpack and demanded money. The attendant handed over $80 and the man stole an energy drink and fled on the bike. Call Kingston police on 9556 6565 with information.

THE memories came flooding back for guests attending the Back to Chelsea reunion at the Chelsea hotel on Saturday.

Organiser Peter Johnson was MC of the event which attracted 150 guests from as far away as Queensland, Perth and Hobart.

Everyone wore name tags – with the women’s tags show-ing their maiden names for easy recollection – and several schools had displays.

“It was a really good event with a great mix of age groups,” Mr Johnson said. “People travelled from all over to get here to rekindle old friendships and have a chat about old times.”

The event was organised online through the site: “You grew up in Chelsea and can remember…”

Social media comments included: “I remember the Chel-sea markets where my mum worked in the fruit shop, the old Coles’ department store, Chelsea hospital where my twin daughters were born, and Chelsea Primary School which I attended as a child. There was the old Chelsea picture theatre where I had my first kiss and lots more that I have probably forgotten.”

“I remember when crochet bikinis were in and the lifesav-ing club used to pump out music on 3KZ. We all had sand stuck to us from overdosing on Reef oil instead of sunscreen and male camel toes in shorts, unfortunately, was the rage. By the way Tracey Drury thanks for my crochet bikini when I was 13 LOL.”

“Yes the old red brick hotel: what a great old pub that was. When I was 18 I spent a lot of Friday nights [there] in front of the juke box. I turned 18 in 1990 and had my first drink there – Corio and coke was only $4 back then.”

The Chelsea Historical Society stall was a hive of activity with photographs of the early days. Margaret Diggerson had a picture of a soldier by the name of Donald after whom Donald Grove, Chelsea, was named.

Mr Johnson quipped: “I remember the girls from Bonnie High and brought along protection!”

At the reunion former Bonbeach High School students manned a stall promoting the school’s 60th reunion in 2017. “We were just putting out feelers,” former student Sandra Hodgson said. “We were trying to gauge the level of interest for it and give people time to plan,” she said.

EVERY day dogs are heading off to work from their homes in and around Seaford and Frankston.

Once on the lead, they learn new skills and how to socialise in the wider world.

They’re off to shopping centres, riding escalators and sitting quietly in cafes.

Some go to children’s playgrounds and join in the fun, even going down slides.

But all this activity has a serious side; the dogs are being trained to help children cope with their lives.

Based in Seaford, Dogs for Kids with Disabilities (DKD), has already provided 40 families with assistance and companion dogs.

It can train 8-12 dogs a year and has 30 families on its waiting list.

Once allocated a trained dog, the families are themselves trained over two weeks in how to make sure the dog is obedient and retains its skills.

DKD founder Katie Hunter says there are two training levels for the dogs: companions and assistance.

Companion dogs “are a best mate for kids”, Hunter says. “They provide unconditional love and can be build-ing blocks for a child learning new skills”.

“Just walking a dog in the street can be a circuit breaker. It’s the same for someone with disabilities, a dog can be a conversation starter.”

These companion dogs are taught a few tricks and even join their young masters in the playground.

Every one of these dogs has its day at workKeith [email protected]

“They can go down slides and are taught to give hugs and nudges with their nose. This can help if a child has a meltdown, lessening stress and shortening the intensity by lowering anxiety.”

Assistance dogs are trained to be much more aware, even to the point of dropping to the ground and providing an anchor for children who are “bolt-ers and runners”. A special harness is used to link the dog and child.

“It’s almost as if the dog is taking

the child for a walk and keeping them safe,” Hunter says.

“This can help with children who can’t be left alone and are hard to han-dle, which makes shopping difficult.”

Once the harness is on, the dog is fully focussed on its job.

“When the harness is off, they become a dog again.”

Hunter’s skills began nearly a dec-ade ago when she worked as a trainer of guide dogs for the blind.

The dogs she selects for assistance

and companion training come from the breeding stock of guide schools.

The dogs are mainly Labradors, golden retrievers and the so-called designer dogs, crossbred poodles, which are especially good for children with allergies.

Hunter attributes her 70 per cent success rate to the quality of puppies provided by the breeders.

At eight weeks of age they are taken in by volunteer “puppy raisers” and do not start their vocational training

until they are 14 months.This is the beginning of their work-

ing life. Living with families at “B and B homes”, the apprentices are collected by trainers each morning and returned at night.

They spend nights and weekends with their “families”.

Trainers are responsible for four dogs, each of which is taken on at least two 20-30-minute public outings a day.

At the moment DKD has 23 pup-pies in volunteer homes.

With that many dogs now under her ultimate care Ms Hunter admits to not knowing individual names. “I have a list.”

The breeding, intensive training and care does not come cheap, and Ms Hunter says families wanting an as-sistance or companion dog often need a “fundraising program” to buy a dog.

Assistance dogs are $30,000-$40,000 and companions $16,000.

“We ask families to have a fundrais-ing program to see if they can get $8000 towards the companion dogs and we try to find $25,000 {from available grants] for assistance dog clients,” Ms Hunter says.

The volunteer DKD committee helps and advises families on fund-raising activities.

As if she didn’t spend enough time with dogs, Hunter at home has a standard poodle and a Dalmatian cross.

Dogs for Kids with Disabilities needs families in Seaford, Frankston, Langwarrin or Chelsea to look after puppies. Details at dkd.org.au or call 9786 2909.

By Fran HenkeVISUAL arts students at Chisholm Frankston are taking their work to the walls of Monash Health this month to cheer and stimulate patients, visitors and staff.

Their show, featuring paintings, sculp-tures, drawing and printmaking by art and illustration students, will open in the Monash Health Art Space, 3.30pm, Thurs-day 17 September.

The opportunity came about after a meeting between art student Eleni Theodoridi, who also works as a medical interpreter at Monash, and senior manager and curator at Monash Health, Kim Minett. Their mutual vision and enthusiasm for the role that art plays in the public health set-ting created the collaboration between the

Chisholm students and Monash Health.“I believe that hospitals and other public

buildings are a great art platform,” Ms Theodoridi said. “It connects and benefits people who wouldn’t necessarily go to a gallery and visual artists that wouldn't have a chance to communicate their messages to a wider spectrum of public, people from all paths in life.”

Her experience of working in hospitals led to a fascination with medical images, producing prints and mixed media works on the theme of “non-medical Interpreta-tions of medical images”. She is under-taking the advanced diploma of creative product development at Chisholm, with a wide range of experience in community involvement, health and the arts.

“This is a cause really close to my heart and I have already suggested to Monash

Health the possibility of murals with the help of local artist and other Chisholm students.

Ms Theodoridi has approached other students, including Karen Neal and Jill Marshall, who have donated work to dress the walls of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit.

Local artists have begun to offer time and talent, too, including sand sculptor Natasha Kamenskaia, mixed media artist Efrossini Chaniotis and photographer Fran Henke.

The Monash Children’s Hospital will open in 2017, with what Eleni hopes, will be more opportunities for the arts in the Monash Health community.

The Monash Health Art Space is at level 2, Monash Medical Centre, 246 Clayton Rd, Clayton.

By David HarrisonI BEGAN my career in journalism about the same time as Alan Morison, half a century ago at the afternoon newspaper, The Herald, in Melbourne, Australia.

It sold more than half a million cop-ies a day. It was a force in the city. It was listened to by politicians, by busi-ness people, by judges and lawyers, and was loved and respected by its readers.

Its journalists did not set out con-sciously each day to seek that appro-bation of its readers, who comprised about one in five of Melbourne’s popu-lation.

They simply, like blind Justice, did their job – to discover and bring to the public the news of the day, whatever that news happened to be.

Nor did we concern ourselves much with what public reaction might be to what we wrote. We knew we had the support of our journalistic seniors and

the public. We were part of what was then called the Fourth Estate, a term born in 18th century Britain to describe the huge influence of newspapers in the life of the nation.

Originally the press – the Fourth Es-tate – ranked with the other three es-tates.

These were the British parliamentary estates known as the Lords spiritual, the Lords temporal and the members of the House of Commons. That is, the press and its journalists ranked along-side the unelected members of the British House of Lords, both church-men and the nobility, and the elected members of the Commons. The press had – and wielded – the power to bring down governments, to change govern-ment policy, and to rein in government power.

Generally it used this power respon-sibly.

This was the environment in which young journalists learned their trade.

Alan has continued to do this through-out his working life, in the finest tradi-tions of the press.

He now publishes his news in the new medium of the world wide web. He is part of the new fabric of news dissemination.

He and his very impressive colleague Chutima Sidasathian have published news on their Phuketwan website that is certainly not to the taste of everyone who reads it.

News has been defined as ‘’some-thing that someone, somewhere, does not want published. All the rest is ad-vertising”.

Alan and Chutima do not deal in ad-vertising or seek to please their read-ers. They simply seek out the truth and disseminate it. The consequences in the case of their reporting of people smuggling in Thailand have been very serious indeed. Both face the possibil-ity of jail.

For what? Has anyone challenged

the truth of their reporting? No. They have been faithful to the best centuries-old traditions of their calling. They are in the legal position they face because their facts have annoyed people in power in Thailand.

These facts meet the classic defini-tion – they were something that some people did not want printed. They were embarrassing, they were seen to dimin-ish the standing of powerful people in a powerful social institution, the Royal Thai Navy, which was not mentioned in the report against which they took offence.

The facts were not challenged – Alan and Chutima’s resolve to publish them, and therefore to shine a spotlight on a great and deeply troubling social issue, was under challenge. They were to be crushed as an example to others for their bold impertinence.

The original publisher of the words that drew the navy’s response were not sued. They were too big and powerful.

Shame on Reuters for abandoning Phuketwan to its fate.

In the long term such facts must – must – be published. The public has a right to know. All around the world, journalists daily pay for this demand on them with their freedom, sometimes their lives.

Thailand needs more journalists, and more media proprietors, who will take the risk of a backlash from powerful people and institutions in what they present to the community, whatever the risk and consequence.

It is vital to strong democracies for this to be done. It is vital for Thailand’s future that its powerful institutions re-spect the Fourth Estate and its practi-tioners for doing their job.

The nation will never develop into a strong democracy without letting the facts – diligently gathered and respon-sibly reported – from being freely dis-seminated. It is the test every govern-ing regime faces, and must pass.

MP News Group journalist David Harrison is in Thailand supporting his mate Alan Morison and his wife Chutima Sidasathian, who were charged in late 2013 with criminal defamation and computer crime over a story they published on their online website Phuketwan about abuses against Rohingya migrants in Thailand.

The charges centred on a paragraph in Phuketwan on 17 July 2013 citing an investigative report by Reuters alleging that some navy officials were involved with trafficking Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar (Burma). The trial generated widespread condemnation from human rights groups and the United Nations.

Morison and Sidasathian faced up to seven years in jail but last week were found not guilty of all charges. The Thai navy has until the end of September to appeal. Harrison has been supporting the two journalists by organising fundraisers, a petition and a rally in Melbourne. He attended the court case in Phuket in July and returned for last week’s judgment. This article has been posted on Phuketwan and has generated worldwide interest.

A FRANKSTON MICA paramedic and a Chelsea policeman have been recommended for bravery awards after rescuing a woman in difficulties off Chelsea beach, 9pm, Thursday 27 August (‘Duo’s daring sea rescue ‘brave’ effort’, The News 2/9/15).

The Chelsea woman was seen by a passer-by near Maury Rd wading out in rough and danger-ous waters fully clothed. She was distressed after a personal issue and would not be consoled.

The witness tried in vain to reach the woman as she swam away; he saw her head go under and lost sight of her, and then waded back to shore and called 000.

Arriving minutes later, ambulance officer Bren-ton Willey and Senior Constable David Malloch used torches to sweep along the beach searching for the woman in case she had returned to shore. However, she was 100 metres north of her original position and 100 metres out to sea after having been in the freezing water for about 15 minutes.

The Air Wing had been called but poor condi-

tions meant a helicopter could not attempt a res-cue. The Water Police were more than 40 minutes away and unlikely to be of any use.

“There was nothing else to do but go and get her, so we went straight in,” Mr Willey said last week. “I am a surfer and used to the water so it wasn’t too bad.

“Of course it was a bit out of the ordinary but, as an ambulance officer, you get used to it. No two jobs are the same.”

Mr Willey and the policeman swam out through the rough, dark waters and brought the woman back to shore – despite her protests.

“It never crossed my mind that we wouldn't suc-cessfully retrieve the patient,” he said. “I felt we worked well together during the events over the next half hour.”

For his efforts, Senior Constable Malloch received a kick in the face causing swelling to his eye socket.

The woman was taken to Frankston hospital while.

Senior Sergeant Chris Jones, of Chelsea police, is recommending bravery awards for the two men. “They did a great job of rescuing the woman in the freezing conditions and saved her life,” he said.

Factory break-inCCTV captured a man and a woman roaming in-side a Governor Rd, Braeside, metals reseller late Thursday. Police said the pair – with faces cov-ered and wearing gloves – cut holes in a fence, gate and then the side of the building to gain en-try. They were onsite for 30 minutes before an alarm was activated at 9.30pm. It is unclear if anything was stolen, but copper theft may have been the motive. Anyone with information should call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

Speedster nabbedHIGHWAY patrol police nabbed a driver travel-ling 80kp/h over the speed limit on Monday. The 25-year-old man was allegedly driving at 160kp/h in an 80kp/h zone on the Dandenong By-pass, Keysborough, 11.50pm. The man’s Subaru WRX has been impounded for 30 days at a cost of $972. He will be charged on summons with speed-related offences. The same police also watched as a driver did a burn out on the Princes Hwy, Noble Park, 2.30am. The 23-year-old man has had his Holden HSV impounded for 30 days at a cost of $917. He will

be charged on summons with driving-related of-fences.

Cash, bike stolenABOUT $500 cash and a 50cc Honda off-road motor bike were stolen from a Hughes Av, Ed-ithvale, house overnight Friday. The 42-year-old male victim said thieves entered through a side gate and forced a rear door, as well as French doors, to gain entry. Cupboards and draws in every room – as well as the medicine chest – were ran-sacked. About $300 in an Easter Bunny bowl and the bike were stolen. Anyone with information should call Kingston po-lice on 9556 6565.

Hit-run weapon findA MERCEDES sedan driven off at speed after smashing into the rear of a car in Nepean Hwy, Cheltenham, Sunday morning, had been stolen in an aggravated burglary at Boroondara on 21 June. The car, with false number plates, was later spot-ted abandoned in Kirkwood Av, Cheltenham, with a witness reporting it loaded with appar-ently stolen goods. Later, the occupants returned to the car and moved it to a house in Fairway Av, Cheltenham. There, police found an AK-47 military weapon and magazine, counterfeit notes and drugs, in-cluding ice, in a shed. The men had fled. Anyone with information should call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

FEATURE PROPERTY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

DESIGNED by Allan Powell, this substantial family home has a sleek modern finish that will appeal to families or those looking for the ultimate holiday retreat. With multiple living areas, there is the handy addition of a separate wing, that would be ideal for a teenage retreat or home business, with its own private access. The living areas extend across both levels of the home with a spacious master bedroom featuring a wonderful parents retreat and balcony. There is also a walk-in robe and ensuite, and two more bedrooms both have built-in robes and share the main upstairs

bathroom. Downstairs is a bright, welcoming affair courtesy of the large windows that flood the interior with natural light and afford a relaxing view of the gardens. A bright dining room adjoins the galley-style kitchen, complete with granite benchtops, a dishwasher and Miele under-bench oven. There is a splendid family room and separate formal lounge room – both with gas log-effect fire places, and a study could be a fourth bedroom if required. The property backs onto pasture land which, along with the discreet street presence, creates a reassuring sense of privacy, all

the better to enjoy the resort-class courtyard with a salt chlorinated, solar heated in-ground pool and undercover entertaining area. Externally, the block measures about 830 square metres with two 2000 litre water tanks keeping the gardens nice and lush, and two double garages for all the vehicles and summer toys. With a serene rural outlook and beach access just a short stroll away, this property perfectly embodies the sought-after Somers lifestyle.

Sting in Trail tailAnyone would think, after reading your front page article (‘Bay Trail width cleared’, The News 26/8/2015) that environment groups were disputing the width of the shared bicycle path. No one has ever disputed the 3-metre Bay Trail width.

The real concern is that, while we have been led to believe the distance from the original road edge to path would be 1.0 metre, it has turned out to be 1.2 metres. It was only by tak-ing measurements that I discovered the whole thing has been located 0.2 metre further into the foreshore than advertised. Why? Because the diagram of the plan shows the kerb as noth-ing more than a line, like a boundary taking up zero or negligible width, but it actually takes up 0.2m.

You might not think 0.2m is much, but for the whole 4-kilometre project to Mordialloc Creek it comes to 800 square metres in total. The plans are still up there on site, as well as on Kingston Council’s website under ‘Agenda for December 2013’, page 72.

Misleading advertising, lack of consultation and a council-knows-best attitude has also re-sulted in a shameful loss of parkland opposite Charman Rd where the Trail has occupied 5 metres more of the park than is necessary.

Instead of using a 4 metre strip next to the road like the rest of the route, it has bulged into the park to take up 9 metres - almost a third of its 30 metre width. It seriously threatens the viability of this park used by kite and model aircraft enthusiasts.

The council needs to explain to the public exactly who is responsible for this disgrace and why it was allowed to happen.

Parks Victoria will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these changes and I, also, would welcome any feedback from boat users.

Ambassador bluesThe long-awaited demolition isn’t sad (‘Hotel demolition falls over, The News 2/9/15), it needs to go. If it’s restored it will just be trashed again, it hasn’t been a nice place for many many years.

I lived here for 6 months and my apartment

was robbed 3 times, once while we were asleep inside.

It is a communal squat for drug addicts and criminals and real estates don’t warn new ten-ants of what they’re getting themselves into. Someone was shot and killed in the time I was living there, there was needles in the pool where children would be unsupervised, I had a child stay at my house for 3 days because he came begging for food and his parents had left and didn’t return until the Department of Hu-man Services was contacted.

It’s a complete cesspool and needs to be demolished. People will never improve their

Sport’s risky timeWith the end of the winter sports season near-ing for a variety of sports, many clubs will be considering events such as last game functions, presentation nights, mad Mondays and trips away. Club administrators and participants need to be aware some of the dangers and legal issues that can be prevented.

Clubs need to ensure that any alcohol is served only on the days and at the times allowed in their liquor licence.

Failure to abide by these conditions may at-tract considerable fines, possible loss of licence and impact on the club’s income, not to mention poor publicity.

Club administrators need to meet with event organisers to discuss what is planned and iden-tify possible risks and measures to be taken to reduce those risks.

They should ensure no-one under 18 is sup-plied with alcohol by older players or officials and clearly explain what the club considers acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.

Unacceptable behaviours should include drunkenness, damage to property, violence, drink driving, verbal abuse, harassment, any-thing that may bring the image of the club into disrepute and anything against the law.

A court in deciding whether a sporting club would be liable for an injury suffered by a player, or damage to property on an end of season trip or event will depend on the circum-stances of each case.

Clubs could be liable if they promote and en-dorse these types of activities to their members and fail to warn to of possible risks.

It is no longer appropriate for heavy drinking and sport to go hand in hand, especially at the end of season functions.

Club administrators need to ask themselves: “How would I feel if one of our members was to die, or be seriously injured, as a result of an alcohol related incident run by my club?”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Body of a woman found on beachCompiled by Melissa Walsh

THE Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd., has engaged an additional driver for the Frankston Garage and has also installed an additional modern Buick car at the Mornington Garage.

***THE next consignment of goods ready to be sent to Central Depot, Federal Government House from the local branch is now on view at Ritchie’s Stores, corner Bay and Playne street.

***WE are pleased to state that Private Daniel Downs, who enlisted from Frankston, and contracted meningitis while at the Seymour camp, and was conveyed to the Alfred Hospital, is now improving.

***WE hear that Zephuron, the Grand National Steeplechase Winner, is to be at once transferred to Frankston and spelled locally for a month or so, as the chestnut’s trainer, Mr M. J. Farrell has enlisted and is already in camp.

***A fatal case of meningitis occurred at Seaford on Monday last, Mr Rob-ert Campbell being the victim. He was conveyed to the Alfred Hospital, where he succumbed to the attack on the following day.

***ATTENTION is drawn to a meeting of Councillors of the Centre Riding, to be held in the Shire Hall, Somerville, at 8 p.m. this evening (Saturday), to as-sist and give any information required in regard to filling in the War Census

papers.***

WE regret to have to chronicle the death of Mr A. Findlay, late station master, at Frankston, which took place at Bacchus Marsh, on Saturday last. The deceased gentleman was es-teemed by all Frankston citizens with whom he came in contact.

***THOSE who like a comfortable shave and a good hair cut will be pleased to hear that Mr C. W. Wood has estab-lished himself in business in prem-ises opposite Brody and Mason’s, Bay Street, Frankston. He has had the premises nicely fitted up with every convenience, and has a good stock of tobacco and cigars of the best brands.

***ATTENTION is again directed to T. R. B Morton and Son’s clearing sale at Ingle Park, Bittern, on Tuesday next. This sale is one of the most important yet held in the district, everything be-ing of first class quality and selected under Mr Ingham’s own supervision from the best of Melbourne ware houses. A full list of the articles appear in our advertising columns.

***THE news that Captain Sherlock had sustained serious injury by being thrown from a horse which he was schooling over jumps at the Seymour Camp on Tuesday last, was received with universal regret in Frankston. He was conveyed to the Base Hospital, Melbourne the same day in an uncon-scious state, and from the meagre par-ticulars to hand we learn that he is still

unconscious, though slightly easier.***

THE body of a woman was washed up on the beach at high tide at “Moon-dah,” between Frankston and Morn-ington, on Thursday morning. The woman was about 55 to 60 years of age, 5 feet 2 inches high, slight, with grey hair and grey eyes. She was wearing a heavy brown coat and black dress with white stripes, and new shoes. The body was taken to the Morn-ington police station, where it awaits identification. Appearances indicated that the body had been only a few hours in the water.

***A grand Patriotic Dance, in aid of Aus-tralia’s Sick and Wounded Soldiers will be held in the Nor Mess Hall, on the works at Finders Naval Base, on Friday, 24th inst. The concert programme will be a good one,and will be farther enhanced by two artists from Melbourne, and a pianist from Allan’s music warehouse. The hall is a very capacious one, hav-ing 25,000 feet dancing space, will be specially fitted up for the convenience of the dancers, and as there will be a full moon on the occasion there will doubtless be a record attendance.

***IT will be seen from an advertise-ment in another column that a fourth presentation will be made on Monday, Sept 20th to volunteers to the front, drawn from Frankston and the imme-diate district. It will be remembered that the pre-

sentation was originally arranged for Aug 23rd but the function had to be postponed owing to the outbreak of cerebro-spinal-meningitis, the moving of the reinforcements and the inability of the recruits to obtain leave. The Hon. Sec (Dr Plowman) desires that friends of any recently enrolled recruits will send to him the names of the latter together with their exact camp addresses. If this is done his work will be greatly facilitated.

***WE are in receipt of the “Patriot”, a leading Brisbane paper, and from it we take the following cutting, which ap-pears under a splendid portrait of Mr Frank Jolly, of Frankston:— “Skater versus Pedestrian” — Recently Mark Gilbert, the skater, challenged Frank Jolly, the sprinter, to a race over four laps of 135 yards each— Jolly getting a start of one lap or in other words 135 yards in 540 yards. The event took place on August 21st, at the Brisbane Roller Rink, when there was a large gathering to wit-ness the race, including many of the fair sex; and when Jolly won easily by nearly a lap it was seen that the result was a popular one. The winner is local representative of the Vacuum Oil Company Ltd., and a well known ex- Victorian sprinter; while Gilbert hails from Manchester, England, and has a big Brisbane repu-tation as a skater.

***THE Peninsula Football Association held its final meeting for the season at Somerville, on Wednesday eve-

ning last, when delegates representing Mornington, Langwarrin, Naval Base, Somerville, Frankston, and Tyabb were present. Dromana and Hastings were unrepresented. A letter was received from Major Lloyd, enclosing donation of £1, which was received with thanks. The balance sheet was then read which showed receipts £155 10s 1d; expen-diture, £138 18s 9d; credit balance, £16 11s 4d ; and after paying the two trophies of £5, and £2 10s left a bal-ance of £8 13s 4d in the bank. Mr Jones moved that the fine of £2 2s be refunded to the Naval Base Club, on the grounds that the club contracting the fine was defunct, seconded by Mr Barnes. After the matter had been fully dis-cussed the motion was lost on the show of hands. After the routine busi-ness had been finished, the President said he had much pleasure in declaring Mornington club premiers for 1915, and Langwarrin runners up. The Mornington club had been in the as-sociation since its formation, and this was the first time they had won, and they were proud of their victory. Mr Wesley responded on behalf of the Mornington Club, and Guard Fletcher also responded on behalf of the Guards. Votes of thanks were passed to the President and Secretary, to which both gentlemen responded, and the meeting terminated.

***

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 September, 1915


By Stuart McCullough‘PLAN your journey’. This advice flashed at me as I set off for work on Friday. In big urgent letters, the sign warned of the impending train strike while also offering sage counsel as how to best respond to the imminent crisis. But of course! Plainly, my pre-ferred approach of not planning my journey would no longer suffice. Step-ping outside my front door and letting anarchy ensue simple does not cut the mustard in these strike-plagued times. A different approach is called for.

Until now, it has never occurred to me to plan my journey. Usually, I just get my things and set off, hoping for the best and generally arriving at my pre-ferred destination several weeks after I was first expected. Sure, it’s inefficient but I believed Robert Frost when he said that taking the road less travelled had made all the difference even if it also made him chronically late. Un-til now, getting from A to B has been something of a magical mystery tour that has taken in C, D, E and various other parts of the alphabet in between.

To be honest, I was expecting that my trip to work would be a car park that rolled forward a metre or two from time to time and one in which my usual travel experience was painfully extended. It wasn’t like that at all. In fact, there was less traffic than normal. It could only mean that a large number of fellow commuters had either decid-ed to work from home or taken the day off. They had, it seems, planned their journey by abandoning it altogether.

There have, of course, been pub-lic transport strikes throughout his-tory. People often forget that the only

reason it took Odysseus ten years to return home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy was because of a snap tram strike. Clearly, Odysseus did not plan his journey. When Johnny Cash sang, I Walk the Line, it was something only made possible because there were no trains running. Not that this is much comfort when the Frankston to Flin-ders Street service vanishes for hours on end.

Having been told to plan my jour-ney, there was little else for me to do other than to take this advice to heart. I poured over maps, I stared at the heav-ens in a desultory attempt to predict the weather and I wet my finger before

holding it aloft to see if I could tell which direction these ill-winds were blowing. But no matter how much effort I put into these activities, there was simply no getting around the fact that I was ‘here’ and I needed to get ‘there’. Frankly, no amount of plan-ning could change that stark fact.

My first attempt left much to be de-sired. The initial draft of my plan saw me get from the house to Caulfield Station by riding on a donkey. There I would use an invisible sword to ward off evil spirits before training a dragon that I had doted on since infancy until it was willing to wear a saddle and fly me the rest of the way to the office.

As planned journeys go, mine was ex-quisite. But if it had a fault at all, it was (perhaps) slightly impractical and not as time efficient as it could have been. In terms of being late to work, telling your boss that it took you long-er to train your dragon than you had first anticipated is rarely going to be viewed as an acceptable excuse.

Perhaps I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe I’m being far too linear about it all. When the sign told me to ‘plan’ my journey, it could well be that this was not literally a direction to stare at a map for hours on end as though I was plan-ning to deposit troops on the beaches of Normandy but a more philosophical

suggestion. ‘Plan your journey’, much like ‘Count your blessings one by one’ is not something to be taken literally – it’d take you all afternoon. In fact, perhaps ‘plan your journey’ is not so much a piece of advice as it is a musi-cal suggestion.

Without a moment to lose, I quickly downloaded Don’t Stop Believin’ by American rock group Journey. I would plan my journey by creating a playlist containing the only song by the band Journey that I know. To be quite hon-est, I feel conflicted. While according to the internet, Don’t Stop Believin’ is an anthem that contains one of the greatest opening keyboard riffs of all time, it’s not really to my taste. The fact that it’s just over four minutes long means that I’ll need to listen to it roughly forty seven times on my way in to work. This, I feel, is unlikely to do much for my mood.

Let’s be honest: public transport strikes suck. On Friday at a rally of striking workers, one of the union of-ficials was quoted as saying that this would be a long campaign as it was ‘a marathon, not a sprint’. To be fair, it’s only a marathon because the train from the city to Frankston isn’t operating. It seems we’re in it for the long haul and that there will be a lot more journeys to plan in the weeks ahead. If we are heading back to the 1970s, perhaps we can do so in a more complete sense. Along with public transport strikes, maybe we can look forward to other things that made the seventies great, like flared trousers, power blackouts and stagflation. Here’s hoping. Until then, don’t stop believin’.

Buds are burning hotNEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt ROSEBUD is now raging hot favourite to win the Nepean Divi-sion premiership after beating Somerville for the third time this season.

The Buds led for all but two minutes of the second quarter of Saturday’s second semi final at Rye’s RJ Rowley Reserve, even-tually winning 10.17 (77) to 9.7 (61).

While the Buds advanced straight to the grand final, Somerville will play Sorrento in this Saturday’s preliminary final at Tyabb.

Rosebud was always in control of the match against Somerville and never looked as though they were going to lose it.

Coming off a bye and two 100 plus point wins against Hastings and Tyabb in their last two matches had zero impact on the Buds, who won the game with bigger, stronger bodies and a greater desire for the contest.

The likes of Rohan Forrest, Nick Boswell, Greg Bentley, Jason Bristow, Brad McDonald and Rhys Bancroft were just too strong and powerful for their Somerville opponents.

The Eagles love to get on the outside and run and carry the footy, however at no stage were they given that opportunity on Saturday.

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell wanted a tough, inside game of footy and that’s exactly what he got.

Somerville has averaged 16 goals a match this season but on three occasions in 2015, they have not been able to boot more than nine against Rosebud.

Rosebud’s defence was superb.Keegan Downie, who is a natural forward and started in attack,

found himself in defence minding Luke Rowe. Rowe had zero impact on the match, such was the great job that Downie did.

Seb Kremich smashed Billy Rolfe, Matt Baker dominated Tommy Shaw and the likes of Daniel Wilson, Nick Boswell, Jack Jarman and Kurtis Corrin ran the ball out of the Rosebud defen-sive zone with ease and precision.

Nick Boswell was brilliant. He gained more meterage than any other player on the ground, waltzing around opponents and steaming out of defence as though the Eagles’ forwards were witches hats.

Every time Tom Baker went near the footy, he had two or three opponents, which allowed Lachy Armstrong to get on his bike and be the ‘go to’ at high half forward. He worked tirelessly.

In the ruck, Ben Dwyer was clearly the best big man on the ground. He dominated against both Justin Farrelly and Scott Simpson. His work around the ground was also outstanding.

The best player on the park was Forrest. He finished with more than 25 touches and three goals. His work at stoppages was sim-ply awesome. He was unstoppable.

The Somerville playmakers were all well beaten. Tim McGen-nis had just 19 possessions, many of which were ineffective. Rowan Hogenbirk had 17 and was more dangerous in attack than he was on the ball. There is no doubt that he is still struggling with the thigh injury and has no power to break away from stop-pages.

Josh Collie was quiet with 13 touches and Justin Allsop had nine.

Adrian Speedy and Ben Sedgewick were clearly the best play-ers for Somerville, while Josh Westerman was also superb, either across half back or through the middle of the ground.

The Eagles just didn’t have the ability to work their way out of the tough situation. Players got frustrated with the lack of space and constant pressure. Some were simply unable to find another gear.

The reality is that finals footy is completely different. When Sorrento turned up the heat in the last quarter in Somerville’s first final, they wiltered under the pressure. Luckily, the Eagles were able to sneak home.

On Saturday against Rosebud, the Eagles couldn’t handle the pressure again. This doesn’t come down to ability, it comes down to mental toughness. Somerville has a very short amount of time to develop a tougher mindset to be able to cope with the pressure.

Sorrento will get another crack at Somerville in this Satur-day’s preliminary final after tipping Red Hill out of the finals on Sunday.

The Sharks proved yet again that they can never be under-estimated, jumping the Hillmen early and going on to record a comfortable 18.8 (116) to 9.16 (70) victory.

The Sharks were never troubled by the Hillmen, who went into the game as favourites.

Red Hill had the aid of the breeze in the final quarter but Sor-rento pushed hard against the breeze and recorded a solid victory.

Somerville has beaten Sorrento on three occasions this season, however, the Sharks will go into Saturday’s prelim chock-full of confidence. Constant pressure: Somerville had no answer for Rosebud’s pressure game, losing by 16 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

The steamrolling StonecatsPENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt THE Frankston YCW freight train continued to steamroll anything in its path on Saturday at Frankston Park, belting Mornington by 89 points in the Peninsula Division qualifying fi-nal.

After resting up to eight players last week in the final home and away game of the season, the Stonecats came out firing from the first bounce on Sat-urday and eventually humiliated the team that almost snatched a premier-ship from them at the same venue last year.

I have been saying it for months and have been accused of being disre-spectful to the other teams in the com-petition, however I reiterate again, this is the most powerful side that I have seen on the peninsula in more than a decade.

It’s going to take a special perfor-mance from a very good footy team to prevent YCW from tasting the ulti-mate success.

The Stonecats do not have a weak link. They have bigger, stronger bod-ies than any other team, they have a wonderful blend of experience and young, raw, talent and they have out-side midfielders who are well over 6.3’.

Frankston YCW booted 10 goals in the opening half and 13 in the second. More impressively though was the fact that they restricted the opposition to just nine goals for the match.

The 23.13 (151) to 9.8 (62) final

score was nothing more than embar-rassing for Mornington.

The Dogs are supposed to be among the top three teams in the competition. They certainly didn’t play like they were.

Mornington kicked the first goal of the match and led but the moment of excitement was short lived for Dog-gies’ supporters.

Mornington was that disappointed in the efforts of their team that they didn’t even register their goal kickers or best players after the game. From a club perspective, that was a poor re-flection of the leadership of the club.

The Frankston YCW team manager Kevin Mulvogue on the other hand got cramps in his fingers given the even spread of performances from his team.

Anthony Bruhn is at home at Frankston Park and he booted seven goals for the winners on Saturday, while David Bodley and Lew Rob-erts booted three each. A further seven players contributed on the scoreboard.

Craig Nankervis is one of the most unheralded players in the competition, however, rarely does he put in a bad game and he always gives his coach Scott Mathers everything he has in the tank.

Jessie Coghlan and Ryan Santon were dominant and Ash Eames suc-ceeded in his efforts to make a point that he believed he was the best big man in the competition.

The Stonecats will go into this Sat-urday’s preliminary final against Mt Eliza full of confidence after belting

the Redlegs the last time they played.Edithvale-Aspendale led all day in

the elimination final to knock Pines out of the 2015 season.

The Eagles went into the game with-out key players in Aaron Pawel in the ruck and Matt Kremmer up forward.

However, despite the structural ef-fects, Mick Meehan booted four goals and Jarrod Garth three for the Eagles while Todd Woodbridge dominated on the wing.

Woodbridge had three opponents for the afternoon and was given enormous body pressure from the persistent Luke Holdcroft, however, withstood the attention and racked-up the pos-sessions.

Brett O’Hanlon helped Edithvale set up the victory in the third quarter af-ter leading by just four points at three quarter time.

With the aid of the breeze, the Ea-gles booted 4.9 to 3.1 in the third quar-ter to set-up a 24 point lead.

Pines had 19 inside 50m entries in the last quarter and got within 13 points, however Darcy Warke booted his third goal on the siren to hand the Eagles a 14.12 (96) to 10.17 (77) vic-tory.

Guy Hendry booted five goals for the Pythons, while Aaron Edwards worked tirelessly at both ends of the ground. Skipper Beau Hendry was also very good for the red and green in the back half.

The Eagles will play Mornington in the First Semi Final next week. Doggies muzzled: Mornington faced a 89 belting by Frankston YCW. They will now

face Edithvale-Aspendale next week. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

By Toe PuntTHE Peninsula and Nepean Teams of the Year will be announced at MPNFL presentation dinners over the next couple of weeks.

Coaches were asked to provide ‘their’ team of the year, based on the matches they had seen in season 2015.

Media commentators Brent Clinnick and yours truly, Toe Punt, also put together a team based on the enormous amount of footy we have seen this season.

In Peninsula, there were a total of 66 players nominated in the squad.

In Nepean, there were 60 players nomi-nated.

It was then my responsibility to put the teams together. This was done based on the number of ‘votes’ that players received from coaches. Players with the most number of votes automatically made the team.

Where there were players with an equal number of votes, I looked at whether their own coach nominated them. This was used mainly for the interchange players, as the large majority of the starting 18 in both teams picked themselves, based on the number of votes they received.

As always, the selected team is sure to raise plenty of discussion.

However, here are the squads……
