Councillors ‘working too hard’THE granting of medical leave to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Lynn Bowden last week has sparked claims councillors are under too much pressure and operating in a stressful, unhealthy environment.

Last week Cr Bowden was given leave after suffering a health scare that

her husband Ron Bowden, a former state MP, says may have been caused by work stress when he spoke to The News last Thursday night.

Cr Graham Pittock had earlier told The News that councillors were operat-ing in “an unhealthy environment” and had too much work. “We’re expected to read vast amounts of information; it’s getting out of hand,” he said.

The claims may attract cynical re-

sponses from the community but coun-cillors have experienced major stress levels in recent times due to: Residual bad blood from the bru-tal aquatic centre debacle that raged for three years with the two factions of council barely able to talk to each other. Dumping long-time CEO Michael Kennedy and appointing Carl Cowie, who has retrenched senior managers

and started profound changes in the or-ganisation with more to come. Morale among shire staff has been battered by the departure of long-time employ-ees, and councillors have been partly blamed for the rapid change. Controversial and divisive major planning issues such as the Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift – which was decided by just one vote last year – and RACV’s proposed resort at Cape

Schanck, which councillors refused to vote on, fearing they would be charged with confl ict of interest as some were members of the RACV Club.

Rumours about Cr Bowden have been swirling around for months after the Bowdens bought a holiday house in Perth but the claim that she had been “commuting” between the peninsula and Perth was scotched by Mr Bowden late last week. Continued Page 6

Philippe’s mission to capture your imaginationMornington artist Philippe de Kraan is intent on taking Mornington by storm – art storm, that is. His 48th solo exhibition, A Moment in Time, is coming to Oak Hill Gallery in September and the streets, businesses and publications of Mornington are ablaze with images of his colourful expressionist paintings.

A MT ELIZA restaurateur has been billed $2000 by Mornington Peninsula Shire to reinstate a garden bed outside his eatery.

The fi ne comes after the council last week ripped out his well-established kerbside vegetable and herb patch saying it had been planted without ap-proval.

Marc Syawish, who has run 1001 Nights, near the intersection of Mt Eli-za Way and Canadian Bay Rd for the past two years, said council workers on Wednesday moved in to strip his plot and replace it with native plants.

He said he was devastated at los-ing verdant bunches of spinach, broc-colini, silverbeet and wild rocket – which were dumped unceremoniously into a hopper.

Letters from the shire warning him of their visit mentioned an assessment would be done on the costs of replace-ment works, but Mr Syawish did not anticipate it would be $2000.

He said his garden was well regard-ed and appreciated by passers-by and used in his own cooking, especially dips and salads which “tasted much better than bought produce”.

Mr Syawish said it had cost him about $8000 to make the garden, with a retaining wall, irrigation system, mulch and advice from a landscaper and gardener. It is all now lost.

He said shoppers “would often pop in to ask if they could pinch a bit of rocket or some of the vegetables and I would say ‘Sure, go ahead, help yourself’.”

Shire gives non-approved vegies the chopStephen [email protected]

“A lot of people just liked sitting out there because it was green and coun-try-like.

“I realise I was probably not allowed to install the garden, but I was trying to do something for the community. I certainly didn’t see any harm in it.”

The shire’s infrastructure mainte-nance manager Niall McDonagh said Mr Syawish had planted the garden bed without approval.

“Works of this nature require ap-proval to ensure appropriate considera-tion is given to public safety, consist-ency with township plans, preserving

site lines and adhering to the expecta-tions of the broader community,” Mr McDonagh said.

“Shire offi cers have worked with the business to resolve and reinstate the garden bed. These works have the sup-port of the Mt Eliza Chamber of Com-merce and followed numerous com-munity requests for action.

“The business has agreed to pay for the reinstatement costs, and the shire will return the plants and materials to the business should they wish to keep them.”

Facebook posts confi rmed the gar-

den’s popularity, with 115 likes: Karen de Jong: “Looks great, more shops and restaurants could do this.”

Teresa Pugliese: “Fantastic idea, hope others do this also.”

Pamela Robinson: “This is a great idea in Mt Eliza Village.”

But later comments were scathing of the shire’s actions.

Vicki King: “So sad to hear of and see your beautiful garden removed by the council. Where is the logic? Most loveliest corner of Mt Eliza - now re-duced to same, same.”

Lorna Westley: “So sorry about your

garden! I thought it was lovely and I can't believe the council have removed it. Just stupid and mean.”

Paul and Jane Clasby were shocked at the garden’s destruction.

“It brought life to the village; it was an example of modern thinking where-as the council is taking us back to the past,” Mr Clasby said.

“The council is working off some kind of historic document saying this is what Mt Eliza should look like for-ever. But we should be breathing new life into the place. I don’t know what their priorities are.”

MARSUPIALS are on the move. It's nearly spring and koalas are out and about. This koala has been grazing in a small eucalypt on a roadside in Mt Martha.

However, other koalas across the Mornington Peninsula not faring so well.

Generally they’re safe in the trees but, once on the ground, can easily be injured.

Koalas get attacked by dogs, hit by cars and sometimes burnt by power lines.

Jennie Bryant runs a koala hospital at Tyabb and sees “all sorts of hideous things” affl icting the animals, from burns to amputated legs.

“I sometimes cry all the way home,” she says of night time calls to stricken koalas.

Her Koala Rescue and Rehabilita-

tion Hospital admits up to 180 koalas a year and has “a 50-50 survival rate, which is a lot better than nothing”.

The catchment for her patients is peninsula-wide and Ms Bryant works under the philosophy that “they [the animals] were here fi rst”.

Watch out for the roadside rambler


ASPIRING yachting champions and Mornington Yacht Club members Sophie Jackson and Ella Sharman, both aged 15, have been training three days a week on Port Phillip this winter.

They are hoping to gain an edge on rivals who train only in spring and summer as they aim for the top in world yachting.

The girls have already won state championships and have teamed up to sail in the 420 Class at international level.

Inspiration for Sophie, who attends Toorak College, and Ella Sharman, who is at Frankston High School, comes from one of their role models, another Mornington Yacht Club member, 30-year-old Sophie Ciszek of Mornington, known by yachting’s elite for her work on maxis such as Wild Thing, Brindabella and Shock-wave.

Ms Ciszek is a professional yachts-woman who was a full-time crew member for the Open 60 Hugo Boss until 2012. She was once the only paid crew member aboard former Mornington sailor Grant Warrington’s Wild Thing, a Sydney-Hobart winner – and loser, when the maxi lost her keel off NSW a few years ago.

Ms Ciszek has sailed more than 60,000 nautical miles and has com-peted in four Sydney-Hobart races.

She made headlines in international yachting circles late last year after sustaining a ruptured herniated disc about halfway through the 30-day second leg of the Volvo Ocean Race around the world aboard Team SCA with its all-woman crew, the fi rst for

12 years. Now yachties know how tough she is as Ms Ciszek suffered nearly two weeks of constant pain – and lack of sleep – that no painkiller could block.

Ms Ciszek told a yachting website: “The pain got so bad at times that my eyes would start watering and I’m not

one to sit in my bunk and cry – but it did happen.”

Back on land in Dubai, an MRI revealed the disc was blocking about 80 of the nerve. She had surgery, months of rehab back in Mornington, and rejoined her team to fi nish the event, which saw seven Volvo Ocean

65s race for 74,000 kilometres over nine months.

Sophie and Ella have new sailing gear courtesy of Sophie Ciszek and her SCA team, which donated $1500 and clothing to the club last week to help promote girls in sailing.

The club’s Rear Commodore Chris

“Jacko” Jackson said the club already had a high participation rate of female sailors from six to 75 years of age and the donation would “help get more females into a healthy, lifelong sport”.

Mornington has learn-to-sail courses for children and adults.

Break: Cr Lynn Bowden is on leave after a health scare. Picture supplied

Continued from Page 1“We spent three weeks in Perth in

late January before the council re-sumed after the summer break and have not been back since and have no plans to return,” he said. “My wife has had two serious chest infections since then, which included a stay at Frankston Hospital.”

He said she was a lifelong asthmatic.Mr Bowden said Cr Bowden had

been working very hard – up to 60 hours a week – under pressure. She had become ill recently and doc-tors thought she had suffered a small stroke but test revealed this was not the case but her condition remained undiagnosed and more tests were be-ing done.

“She is her normal self; bright and alert, walking and talking but has been advised to take it easy so the symp-toms do not return,” he said.

Mr Bowden said councillors had an abnormally high work load in recent times.

Cr Bowden has missed seven of

MOST Victorian councillors are diligent and attend dozens of meetings and briefi ngs each year.

Our elected representatives are required by law to not miss four council meetings in a row unless they have obtained formal leave of absence, which can be approved by their colleagues in cases such as illness or injury.

The shire council has had a good attendance record in recent years although recent absences have seen more councillors missing meetings than usual.

In late 2013, former Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin took extended leave because of illness. He was absent for more than six months before resigning and forcing a by-election last August when retired County Court judge Tim Wood was elected.

Further afi eld, Kingston councillor John Ronke, an 18-year council veteran, attended nine of 21 meetings last year including four of 11 so-called ordinary council

meetings (OCMs), the main meeting of councils.He blamed illness for missing most but said he chopped

the top off a thumb with a power saw, which caused him to miss one OCM.

Three years ago Pinar Yesil, a Greater Dandenong councillor and Victoria’s fi rst Muslim mayor (2008-09), was booted off the council after missing four consecutive meetings when she was in Turkey for more than a month dealing with “urgent family health issues” and had not obtained formal leave of absence. Ms Yesil migrated to Australia from Turkey as a teenager and was a rising star in the ALP.

Ironically, during her term as mayor, Ms Yesil implemented a charter to make councillors more accountable to the community by publishing monthly expenses and attendance reports online.

Miss four in a row and you’re out

the past 14 council meetings includ-ing two at the start of the year, two in April, and three between mid-July and last week when she was ill and spent several days in Frankston Hospital.

Cr Pittock has missed three meet-ings this year, two in March and one in May when he was on holidays in-terstate or overseas. The Dromana

resident recently represented the shire in Ireland at his own expense when he visited Dromana House in County Waterford for the 800th anniversary, keeping alive the loose connection be-tween the two Dromanas.

Councillors Andrew Dixon, Hugh Fraser, Tim Wood, David Gibb and Anne Shaw have all missed one meet-ing this year, mostly through illness, and the mayor Cr Bev Colomb has missed two meetings, in May and July. For one she was in Canberra for a local government conference.

On Friday afternoon, the shire announced on its website that Cr Bowden had been granted leave of ab-sence “from August 10 until October 10 due to medical reasons”.

“Watson Ward residents can direct inquiries to 5950 1428 or via email [email protected] during Cr Bowden’s absence. Ne-pean Ward councillor Hugh Fraser is also available to assist Watson Ward residents and ratepayers during this period.” With David Harrison

THE new Somerville police complex – not to be confused with a police “sta-tion” – is nearing completion but nei-ther police nor contractors could set a fi nish date last week.

The $16.3 million two-storey build-ing has been dogged with controversy since its inception over fears it would strip front-line police from stations on the southern peninsula and that it will not be open to the public.

An intense public meeting attended by 150 people at Rosebud public hall in October was told by Police Associa-tion secretary Ron Iddles and president

John Laird that the complex should operate as an operational police station rather than “being fi lled with special-ists”.

Their concerns were that residents would have to travel to Mornington or Hastings to see police.

Mornington MP David Morris, dep-uty of a parliamentary public accounts and estimates committee, which as-sessed the new complex, told The News in June: “If you happen to live in Somerville, you need to drive to Morn-ington or Hastings to get police advice or police assistance, even though there is a brand-new $16.3 million police station in Somerville.

“Not unnaturally, the Somerville

community are not particularly happy about that. I think it would almost have to be the fi rst brand-new police station to open without access to the public in the entire history of this state.”

While the building at the corner of Eramosa Rd West and Coolart Rd does not have a front counter – which would require manning by four full-time of-fi cers – it will be staffed by police whose offi ce presence is regarded as secondary to their fi eld work.

Detective Inspector Shayne Pannell, who was local area commander at the time the new centre was mooted, will be in charge. Attending a site meeting on Thursday, he said it was never en-visaged that police on-the-beat would

be moved to the new 90-plus-staff headquarters.

Rather, it will be home to highway patrol units now based at Rosebud, Hastings and Carrum Downs, and crime investigation units at Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud, with park-ing for 24 police cars.

“The complex will provide state-of-the-art crime scene facilities, such as garages, hoists and equipment, and the combination of skills from different departments all in the one offi ce will help us provide a strong divisional re-sponse,” Inspector Pannell said.

“There will not be counter service as such but, if people have an appoint-ment, they will be granted access.”

Call to up breast screen rateWOMEN in the region aged between 50 and 74 years are being encouraged to attend a breast screening centre to increase the participation rate.

Recent Breast Screen Victoria data shows a participation rate of 54 per cent, the state average, but well short of BSV’s target of 70 per cent.

The fi gures were released last week by local MP David Morris, who has promoted screening for several years.

“No doctor’s referral is required to make an appointment at centres in Frankston and Rosebud. Screenings are free and easy to access,” he said.

“It is important women of every age get screenings every two years.”

Appointments can be booked online at www.breastscreen.org.au or by calling 13 20 50.

Check burn plansPENINSULA residents can see online the state government’s 2015-16 fi re operations plan, which identifi es proposed actions to reduce fi re risk.

The plan will be online until it is fi nalised in late September. It is part of a “three-year rolling plan to reduce bushfi re risk this coming summer and beyond”, said Dan White of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Mr White encouraged peninsula residents in bushfi re risk areas to view the plan “and understand the operations scheduled near them”.

STUDENTS from Padua College, Mornington, were given a glimpse into the world of Islam during a visit to a mosque in Langwarrin.

For the second year running the college has visited the Bait-ul-Salam Mosque where they are given a talk about the basic teach-ings of Islam by Iman Syed Wadood Janud.

“The purpose of this visit is to educate young Australians about Islam, and repelling any misconception and negative perceptions they have,” mosque spokesman Soofi Aziz said.

Arriving over two days in several groups, the 300 students were told by Iman Janud that Islam is “a religion that teaches peace, tolerance and harmony”.

He spoke about how Islamic teachings re-late to a Muslim’s daily life through prayer, celebrations, the “Islamic concept of charity” and pilgrimage to Mecca.

Muslims who attend the mosque are mem-bers of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, an Islamic movement whose members are persecuted by Muslims in some other coun-tries, particularly Pakistan.

“Anyone who commits a barbaric act or any form of terrorism in the name of Islam has nothing to do with its true teachings,” Iman Janud told the students.

He said the Prophet Muhammad had “championed religious freedom, women’s rights, and worked tirelessly to establish peace and tolerance in the society”.

“It is sad that in this day and age a small minority of so-called Muslims have misrep-resented this peaceful religion and certain sections of people now associate Islam with terrorism and extremism.”

While at the mosque the Padua students were shown an exhibition of the Koran and Islamic literature as well as banners display-ing teachings from the Koran on science, cosmology, love, brotherhood, peace and humanity.

Nabbed in the looA SUSPECTED burglar hid from police in a Rosebud foreshore toilet block on Tuesday before being ar-rested.

The man, 26, of Rosebud, was wanted for allegedly forcing his way into the Rye home of an elderly cou-ple, Friday 7 August, claiming he was looking for a lost dog.

Police say he grabbed an 80-year-old woman by the throat and forced her back into the hallway, but fl ed when the woman’s husband came to her aid.

Detective Sergeant John Coburn, of Rosebud CIU, said police spotted the man outside a Rosebud supermarket and gave chase as he cycled across Pt Nepean Rd and onto the beach.

After a short struggle, in which the man was pepper sprayed, he was arrested and charged with aggravated burglary. He has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 25 August.


DEEP divisions within the Liberal Party over the legalisation of same-sex marriage have been mirrored in Frankston and the Mornington Pen-insula with local federal Liberal MPs Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt at odds on the contentious subject.

Flinders MP and Environment Min-ister Greg Hunt declined to be publicly outed as a supporter of same-sex mar-riage when asked by The News whether he supports its legalisation.

Mr Hunt was coy last week about his stance on the issue despite being named as “a same-sex marriage supporter” in recent months by the The Australian and The Age newspapers and the ABC.

Rather than answer the question Mr Hunt directed electorate offi ce staff to refer The News to comments he made to David Speers on Sky News last Wednesday (12 August), the day after Liberal and National MPs spent six hours locked in behind closed doors talks to formulate a Coalition policy on the legalisation of same-sex marriage.

“I had a particular preference and that didn’t come about,” Mr Hunt said in the Sky News interview.

Mr Hunt’s refusal to publicly declare his opinion on same-sex marriage is the second time in as many months that the Coalition frontbencher has not answered a direct question from The News about his views on the matter.

Early last month Mr Hunt said he supported “a free vote (a conscience vote)” taking place whereby all federal Liberal MPs would be allowed to vote based on individual views rather than

along party lines (‘Same-sex marriage views differ’, The News 7/7/15).

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a long-time opponent of the legalisation of same-sex marriage, is under-stood to have stared down any party room suggestions for a free vote for Liberal MPs and instead favours a national plebiscite or referendum if the government wins a second term.

Dunkley MP and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson is on ‘Team Abbott’ with regards to same-sex marriage, telling The News he backed the Coalition’s policy of “maintaining the current defi nition of mar-riage” since this was “the undertaking given by the Coalition and many other members of parliament go-ing into the last election”.

“I believe and understand that people should be able to love the adult their heart wants them to love,” Mr Billson said.

“There are very genuine strongly held yet dia-metrically opposed views on same sex marriage in most communities, including ours. These differing, heartfelt views expressed to me by members of the community were also refl ected during the respectful

six hour meeting held with my Liberal and National colleagues.”

Mr Billson favours “the formal recognition of same sex relationships” and said “going to a process after the next election that puts the question [on legalising same-sex marriage] to the people enables all individ-uals to have their say”.

His cabinet colleague Mr Hunt also tried to main-tain a positive front about divisions within the Coali-tion, telling Sky News: “I like deeply the idea of Aus-tralians and every Australian having the opportunity to participate in a grand democratic action.”

While the federal Liberal Party squabbles internally over the legalisation of same-sex marriage, Labor op-position leader Bill Shorten has vowed to enact legis-lation to legalise same-sex marriage within 100 days of Labor winning government.

Mr Shorten and Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus attended a marriage equality rally in Melbourne on Saturday (15 August) and the opposition leader said Labor would follow the likes of the UK and the US and legalise same-sex marriage without a plebiscite or referendum.

Liberals remain divided on same-sex marriageTHE majority of voters who have expressed an opinion on same-sex marriage to Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson oppose its legalisa-tion according to the Small Business Minister.

While appearing on ABC 774’s Drive show last Wednesday (12 August) Mr Billson claimed correspondence to his electorate offi ce suggested most Dunkley electorate residents want to keep the existing defi nition of mar-riage as being between a man and a woman.

“I know in my electorate, two to one is the number that want the defi nition left the way it is,” Mr Billson told Drive show host Rafael Epstein.

A “caller Steve from Frankston” subsequent-ly challenged Mr Billson live on air and asked the Dunkley MP to substantiate the claim.

Mr Billson said the statistic was arrived at from “emails, correspondence and calls to my offi ce from my electorate”.

When contacted by The News on Friday last week Mr Billson revealed there have been 634 calls and emails to his offi ce on the subject of same-sex marriage with 105 supporting same-sex marriage and 529 “for maintaining the sta-tus quo”.

“It appears I had actually been understating the views expressed by saying publicly in the past it was more than two to one, when in fact it appears to be six to one,” Mr Billson said.

The caller from Frankston who challenged Mr Billson on ABC radio last week is Steve Toms, a Labor Party member and marriage equality advocate, who introduced himself to Mr Billson and fellow Drive show guest fed-eral Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus as being “familiar to both Mark and Bruce”.

WHILE the federal government spends billions of dollars preventing asylum seekers and refugees from landing on Australian soil, the Victorian govern-ment has recruited thousands of unpaid workers to stem the predicted tide of voracious hordes from Asia.

Although Operation Sovereign Bor-ders carries out the government’s turn-back-the-boats policy the state govern-ment’s keep out the mites program depends on the humble bumblebee.

If the bees are unable to detect an invasion a $90 million a year industry is threatened.

The federal government has never quite spelt out what is under threat if asylum seekers and refugees are al-lowed to land in Australia before their bon fi des are checked.

The Andrews Labor government last week announced a new line of defence was being established from Flinders to Somerville to check for unwanted boat arrivals.

A series of sentinel beehives are in place to watch the Western Port coast for the varroa mite, which could be brought ashore by Asian bees, which have stowed away on ships heading to Crib Point and Hastings.

If they gain a foothold, the mites could devastate the domestic honey market.

Six sentinel hives and four swarm catch boxes have been set up under the National Bee Pest Surveillance Pro-gram. The sentinel hives are checked every six weeks, with any mites on bees

sticking to sticky strips hung between wax brood combs. Samples are then sent to government entomologists for assessment.

The swarm catch boxes are monitored daily by landholders. Any bee swarms found near the port, but not in catch boxes, are sampled and destroyed.

In the year to May, fi ve swarms were detected in catch boxes, including one at Hastings.

Other methods of detecting infected bees include sweep netting of fl owers near ports using butterfl y nets. Another is the sugar shake program involving 187 mainly hobbyist beekeepers who monitor their hives for varroa mite three times a year.

A sample of 300 bees from a hive is shaken with a tablespoon of icing sugar which causes any of the reddish-brown mites to fall off bees where they can be easily seen against the white icing sugar.

The government says the state’s hon-ey industry also contributes to the polli-nation of up to $6 billion worth of crops.

Agriculture minister Jaala Pulford said the sentinel bee hives “look simple but they play a critical role in safeguard-ing this multi-million dollar industry from exotic pests and diseases”.

“With more than 4000 registered bee keepers in Victoria it is critical they get the right information to help keep their hives free of pests and diseases – that’s why the Australian Beekeeping guide is such an important resource.”

Moorooduc beekeeper John Winkels said up to 80 per cent of bees would die in the fi rst year if the varroa mite estab-lished itself in Victoria.

“We are the last bastion in the world

against the mite and there’s not been enough effort to stop it,” he said.

“If it came, we would need to double our workforce to combat its effects – and we’ve been trying to get ready for 20 years.”

After a mite incursion, he said pol-lination fees would rise, as would the cost of food production – with the now $80 hives costing up to $200 after wide-spread infestation.

However, a serious mite infestation would not spell the end of the industry, Mr Winkels said.

“It’s not all negative. We would need to import breeding bees that have devel-oped antibodies against varroa but, of course, they would be more expensive and there’s the risk they would bring in other diseases.

“It would become more effi cient but more expensive.”

He said New Zealand bee populations had survived and honey production was now rising since a crash in 2000 when 80 per cent of the bee population died. The feral hives have gone and the indus-try is reportedly “better managed”.

“The NZ industry has never looked back since they got varroa,” Mr Winkels said.

But the timing of a mite invasion is crucial: “We need to know when it is coming.”

Referring to Victoria’s $500 million almond industry centred on Robinvale and Mildura, Mr Winkels said: “If it comes before the pollination season it could mean a whole crop failure. If there are no bees, there will be no crop and that would be a huge cost to the state’s economy.” with Keith Platt

de KraanFRANKSTON and Mornington residents have been receiving automated phone calls from an electrician in the past week but the sparky hasn’t been getting in touch about a home elec-trical wiring job.

The call is part of a campaign by the Electri-cal Trades Union to “stop the China Free Trade Agreement” amid union fears electricians’ jobs are at risk.

A pre-recorded message urges recipients to contact federal Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson to make any concerns about the free trade agreement known to the Abbott govern-ment’s Small Business Minister.

ETU state secretary Troy Gray said the “ro-bo-calls” to Dunkley electorate voters are part of a newly launched campaign aimed at high-lighting “a secret trade deal” with China, ac-cording to the union.

“There are a lot of amendments that have been put into this one that haven’t previously been in free trade agreements and we need to have serious public debate about that so we’ll be targeting a number of seats, not just mar-ginal seats, to get the issue out there,” Mr Gray said.

“By putting these robo-calls out there it trig-gers the debate and people ask the question.”

Mr Gray said free trade agreements are no-toriously “a little bit cloak and dagger” and the detail is not usually released until they are signed. He says the ETU wants laws being passed in federal Parliament to implement the China Free Trade Agreement to be stopped.

Chief among the union’s concerns is a clause in a memorandum of understanding that stipu-lates China will be able to bring in tradespeople to work on any project in Australia worth over $150 million with as little as a 15 per cent Chi-nese stake in the project.

Mr Gray said labour testing clauses ensuring a satisfactory minimum standard for tradespeo-ple, including electricians, had also been re-moved under the proposed terms of the China Free Trade Agreement.

“We don’t have an issue with immigration, we think it’s fantastic but previously in a num-ber of trades if you come to the country you need to be assessed to the current standards and if you don’t meet that then you do some more exams for more qualifi cations,” he said.

“This current FTA removes that requirement. You’ll notice Trade Minister Andrew Robb’s comment about it is ‘oh, they’ll still be as-sessed’ but there is absolutely no requirement and it’s been deliberately removed.”

Mr Billson hit back at the union’s claims about the agreement saying the ETU is “scare-mongering”.

“I have been made aware of the pre-recorded messages. The robotic messages are part of the Electrical Trade Union’s scare campaign which is irresponsible and fi lled with inaccuracies.

“The historic Free Trade Agreement with China will help grow jobs and the economy. It will open the door to millions of potential new customers for our businesses - which by work-ing hard to win these customers, will grow our economy and create more jobs.”

The Small Business Minister said the FTA will not undermine Australian employment laws and conditions and “will not allow unre-stricted access to the Australian labour market by Chinese workers”.

Mr Billson denied that the required skill lev-els for Chinese visa applicants will change as a result of the FTA.

Mr Gray said the ETU will ramp up its cam-paign against the China FTA via television and print advertisements and more robo-calls.

Trade unions plan to rally outside the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties Hearing in Melbourne on Friday 28 August.

FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt was back in the political fast lane on Monday, in Canberra for the Liberal party room’s vote for a Speaker to replace Bronwyn Bishop.

Three days before that he had been standing at the end of Cowes pier after completing his 19-day Walk for Autism. His walk to raise $25,000 for Amaze (Autism Victoria) and the Abacus Learning Centre, Hastings, took him 500 kilometres through his electorate, which includes the southern Mornington Peninsula and Western Port, including Phillip Island.

While on his walk Mr Hunt was publicly absent from being involved in the controversy surrounding Mrs Bishop’s extensive travel expenses.

In neighbouring Dunkley, Mr Hunt’s

Liberal colleague Bruce Billson as-sured ABC radio listeners that Mrs Bishop “will do the right thing”. This same sentiment was also expressed by the Prime Minister Tony Abbott for the next day or so, until Mrs Bishop announced she was “sorry” and would leave the Speaker’s chair. Neither Mr Billson or Mr Abbott would be dcrawn on what they thought the “right thing” was.

Comparisons between Mr Hunt’s walk around his electorate – if pub-licised nationally - would no doubt have rivalled that of Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull who was all too willing to be seen disembark-ing from a train to Geelong, a stark contrast to Mrs Bishop’s helicopter fl ight to the same city.

Mr Hunt was also able to miss last week’s Cabinet meeting in Adelaide which preceded the announcement by Mr Abbott of a shipbuilding package that will help unemployment in South Australia. There was no promise to save jobs in Victoria’s ailing ship-building sector.

The hue and cry surrounding Monday’s election of Casey MP Tony Smith to the Speaker’s chair must have seemed a world away from Mr Hunt’s stroll around the highways and byways of Flinders.

The walk - likely to exceed its $25,000 target - will have a direct benefi t for those affected by autism.

Mr Smith’s party room election was all about politics and appearances.

Pier ending a far cry from capital worries

Walk’s end: Flinders MP Greg Hunt, centre, at Cowes jetty on Friday with some of the people who joned and supported his walk, including, Bass Coast Shire mayor Kimberley Brown, Marilyn Myszka, and members of his staff Christian Lee and Samantha Robin.

MORNINGTON MP David Morris has called on state Environment Minis-ter Lisa Neville to save the South East Water reservoir land at Mt Eliza from housing and turn it into a reserve.

His surprise call was made in the Parliament last week and follows a state government-appointed planning panel recently ruling in favour of the 2.8-hectare decommissioned reservoir on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads near Kunyung Rd being used for houses.

Last Friday, Mr Morris told The News that transport magnate Sir Reg Ansett had bought the land in the late 1950s and handed it to State Rivers and Water Supply Commission for a reservoir instead of a site on his land nearby.

“He paid for the land and gave it to the government, and the government should give it to the people,” he said.

In the Parliament earlier in the week Mr Morris called on Ms Neville to “use her authority to have the appli-cation withdrawn, and the land trans-ferred to Mornington Peninsula Shire for a nominal amount”.

“The land was a supply reservoir un-til 1999, when it was decommissioned. Largely untouched by humans in the intervening 16 years, it has become a haven for wildlife in the midst of an urban area,” he said.

“Residents have advised me the site is now home to at least 61 species, in-cluding the endangered grey-headed

fl ying fox. The panel was told this and astonishingly did not recommend set-ting aside even the hectare the shire council asked for.

“Minister Neville, as the minister responsible for the environment and water, will surely appreciate the im-portance of this parcel and the role it plays in supporting local wildlife, par-ticularly endangered species.”

Mr Morris said the area was close to Port Phillip and the green wedge but had little public open space. “If the pro-posal to sell the land in lots proceeds, the circumstances will be severely ex-acerbated. It is imperative that we not lose sight of long-term good for short-term profi t,” he said.

Councils and government agencies will be offered the land fi rst and if there are no takers, South East Water will be free to go to the market.

In early 2014, the water author-ity asked the shire to rezone the land, which consists of 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres each, worth about $450,000 a block or $10.8 million in total. More optimistic estimates put the value at $13 million.

South East Water is building new headquarters in Frankston and is keen to maximise the return on its Mt Eliza land.

Return the planThere have been statements made by Cr Tim Rodgers and letters to the editor regarding the state government’s decision to cancel the con-tract of the inappropriate development of Point Nepean relating to paying out contracts.

It should be remembered that Parks Victoria under the previous Labor government had a well-developed tourist accommodation plan which was to provide for upkeep and sustainable management of the park

This would have incurred considerable cost to taxpayers when cancelled by the Liberal government and may have been in excess of $1,000,000.

Hopefully, that plan will be reinstated for the benefi t of the people of Victoria and fl ora and fauna, rather than private developers

As for developer’s promises, the Melbourne Maritime Museum as part of the Southbank de-velopment was to be half as big again as the old site (as promised by developers)and ended up only half the original size, resulting in the loss of Victoria ‘s expansive maritime history

There also appears to be an undercurrent that anyone who has environmental concerns is some sort of eccentric.

There are many who want to leave our planet ‘s natural world for future generations to enjoy

John Trewarne, Rye

Who’s in charge?If there was any doubt as to who is in control of the state government’s policy in respect of Victorian national parks, Chris Smyth’s recent letter on behalf the Victorian National Parks As-sociation categorically confi rms that it is not the government (“Point planning”, Letters 11/8/15).

I found it extraordinary that Mr Smyth was able to make specifi c reference to a clause in a contract that it is not a party to. Assuming the Point Leisure Group did not provide a the VNPA with a copy of its contract with the state, you must therefore come to the conclusion that it was the environment minister that chose to do this as, from my research, the contract is

currently not publicly available. So why would the state government do this unless it wanted the VNPA to assume control of developing its policy position for Point Nepean.

With Mr Smyth being categoric that the VNPA sees no role for the private development in the restoration of the historic Quarantine Station, you have to wonder whether a revised Point Nepean master plan will include any commer-cially invested and operated accommodation and associated facilities, if the fi nal decision for any proposed commercial activity within Point Nepean rests with the VNPA.

Perhaps the tail has wagged the dog on this issue so vigorously, it has managed to make the body of the dog completely irrelevant or perhaps even redundant. Stuart Allen, Dromana

More than a gameI was disappointed, but not surprised, by Team Australia’s press conference last Tuesday outlin-ing our game plan for the Emissions Reduction Cup in Paris later this year. But one must at least acknowledge coach Greg Hunt’s impressive use of graphics – colour and movement can be a handy distraction at times, particularly when you have little to say or are delivering bad news.

It was pleasing to see Team Australia chair Tony Abbott there, as he has previously told us he didn’t really think Team Australia needed to participate in this international event.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right. Coach Hunt and Team Australia chair Tony Abbott are very happy with our current performance and have a

plan that will see Team Australia maintain its position on the emissions reduction ladder.

As we are near the very bottom of the ladder, I’m not sure they have grasped the fundamen-tals of team leadership or responsibility. Do they understand this game at all? The answer seems to be “no”. On an individual player basis we are currently the worst in the league for emissions and coach Hunt’s plan seems to be to improve our individual performance until we are worst in the world.

Coach Hunt isn’t up to the job and Chair Abbott is caught in the past – and not just in respect of emissions reduction. Mr Abbott’s stance on changes to equality tennis and his insistence that Team Australia fi eld teams only in the mixed doubles is sadly out of touch. His continued promotion of the use of coal supple-ments to enhance Team Australia’s performance has caught the eye of the international commu-nity and could see us banned from the competi-tion.

To avoid Team Australia’s relegation to the amateurs, it is time to sack the coach and chair and replace the board at the next AGM.

Greg Gilbert, Mt Eliza

Of boats and unionsI read with interest (“Liberal airing”, Letters 11/8/15) the opinions of Ken Dyer, who talks about the fact of how many asylum seekers died (877 souls under the Labor government’s watch). Ken then goes on to complain that the Liberal government is wrong in turning back the boats. What is the fact about how many asylum seekers have drowned since the Liberal govern-ment stopped the boats from arriving here? Obviously the new policy is working. Even the Labor leader agrees it is a better policy.

While I agree that that we need to have compassion and understanding for asylum seekers, we also have a right to know who we are welcoming to our country and we need to be in a position to support them. There are only so many tax dollars for our governments to spend and, unfortunately, they don’t come from a bot-tomless pit.

New app connecting teachers and schools

WHAT’S NEW...

A SMART new app connecting casual relief teachers and schools has recently been launched in Mel-bourne’s south-east.

The EzStaff app has been de-veloped by Mornington Peninsula IT teacher, Evan Rutherford. The app enables teachers to create a personalised profi le that is instantly visible to a wide range of schools, to dictate their own availability through an online calendar, and to decide how far they wish to travel to and from work. The EzStaff app then automatically scans teacher’s calendars and only the profi les of available CRT’S on the day become visible to schools. School managers view these profi les, match the skills and experience of the teacher to their needs and book their teacher quickly, without cost.

As a relief teacher manager, Evan saw the need for the app after becoming frustrated with the early morning ‘ring around’ to fi nd teacher replacements. He also wanted to create a resource that was sympathetic to the needs of both schools and teachers.

“That is why there is no charge for schools to register and use the EzStaff app. Registration is also free to CRT’s and there is only a nominal charge payable on acceptance of a confi rmed booking which enables us to operate EzStaff,” said Evan. “The initial response from schools and teachers has been very encouraging with a growing number of schools and teachers registering to join the EzStaff Community”.

Patrika Rowley, Deputy Principal at St. Jo-seph’s School Sorrento, says that, “EzStaff has been a great relief for me in organising CRT’s at our school. It is always tricky to get good relief teachers down here and this tool will save me time and money”.

Although I have some respect for the work of unions and the job they do in advocating for employees, last night I was most upset to receive an automated call from the Electrical Trades Union spreading mistruths about the free trade agreement signed with China. The call claimed Australian Chinese companies will have unrestricted access to Chinese workers for major projects, threatening Australian jobs. As some-one who follows these things closely I know this is completely false: The agreement will not allow unrestricted access to the Australian labour market by Chinese workers. It will not allow Australian employment laws or conditions to be undermined. This kind of false marketing by the ETU should be investigated.

Eliza Foster, Mt Eliza

Wages penaltyFrom my view eliminating penalty rates will lead to lower wages for already the lowest paid workers, women and students.

I don’t believe it will necessarily mean more people employed. The money will be pocketed by the employers and not extra employment.

I remember when so-called equal pay was fi rst mooted, the detractors said the life we knew was going to be a disaster. All these years later some women are still not getting equal pay for equal work. If the outcome of the Productivity Com-mission’s recent report on Australia’s workplace relations framework is implemented, the net result will be lower wages and fewer commodi-ties sold.

What do most low income people do with their wages? Spend. Not only on necessities of life but, if there’s any extra, they buy cloths, books and reduce their HEC’s fees.

When is there going to be an inquiry into the excesses of CEOs who, in my opinion, are over paid for the job they do even if the company they are in charge of is not making its way, suc as Australia Post.

While running a B&B I had the privilege of having a former CEO of Woolworths stay who told me his salary was based on being not more than 10 times that of the company’s lowest paid

worker.When are the banks, local governments and,

dare I say, parliamentarians, going to work seven days or perhaps nights, for no extra pay?

We have over recent weeks seen how the age of entitlement is alive and well for the hoy ploy.

I also remember when seven day a week trading was introduced and how that was going increase productivity and more jobs. I am sure if there was a review it also would be a proved a fallacy. Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Unexpected reactionWow! I expected some response to my letter (“Liberal support”, 4/8/15 ) but your readers sure jumped to Labor’s defence in a big way. First, a very well researched letter from Ken Dyer (“Lib-eral airing”, 11/8/15 ) that I would have found compelling reading, if it was not for the fact that on the day the paper hit the stands, a report, commissioned by Labor when in government, was published in the city papers and I quote “Labor’s plan to cut carbon emissions by 40 to 60 per cent by 2030 would deliver a devastat-ing blow to the economy, stopping $600 billion from economic growth over the next 15 years. It would also cost tens of thousands of jobs, a 2013 Treasury and Department of Industry and Climate Change modelling report has revealed.” I think I will rest my case on that issue. While on the subject of Mr Dyer, I stand corrected on my statement that there were no boats in the last 12 months, as it seems that someone saw a boat, apparently carrying Vietnamese ( accord-ing to John Cain, “Do-nothing Liberals”, Letters 11/8/15. ) that were taken to Sri Lanka. I bet the Sri Lankans were happy about that.

The whole point of my letter was to point out what a wonderful country we live in, where freedom of speech is a given and no matter what party we support, we can have our say and be safe from retribution.

My last word must go to Denise Hassett ( “Failed Captain”, Letters 11/8/15). There is a saying as old as politics itself: The only poll that matters is on election day and, on that day, a majority of your fellow Australians certainly

disagreed with you. Michael Free, Mt Martha

Citizenship bidI totally agree with everything Douglas McClary wrote (“Would-be citizen”, Letters 4/8/15). My wife and I have lived in Australia for 10 years on 410 visas. We have committed to this country, we actually chose to live here and would dearly like to show our committment by becoming citizens, but are prevented from doing so.

I was interested to read Douglas’ comment about [Dunkley MP] Bruce Billson’s disap-pointing attitude on the subject of temporary residents. I would like to report on the view of Flinders MP Greg Hunt (my local MP) on the subject, but his secretary would not even grant me an audience with him to discuss the matter.

Unfortunately I am not able to vote for his opponent at the next election as we temporary residents are not allowed to vote, despite the taxes we are obliged to pay. So much for the Eureka Stockade mantra of “No taxation without representation.”

So please, dear readers, support Ian Good-enough’s campaign to enable us to get full residency and then citizenship. The government seems to have a hang-up about giving us Medi-care cover, but that is not what we are seeking. We already have to have private medical cover and are happy to continue that way.

All we want is to be fully a part of the beauti-ful country in we chose to live.

Stephen Pratt, Bittern

Trawling for factOver the past six months I have been trying to ascertain [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s position on the “supertrawler” (as it is known) the, renamed Geelong Star.

There is much controversy over this very large fi shing trawler being allowed to operate in Australian waters and, clearly, it does catch an enormous amount of fi sh species and, in the pro-cess, bycatch - species that are not the target of the trawler. Unfortunately, much of this bycatch perishes in the process.

Greg Hunt has replied to my question about

why such a huge fi shing trawler, (98 meters) is allowed to operate in Australian waters. His emailed answer was that it was a bi-partisan agreement by the Coalition, the ALP and the Greens that the “defi nition” of 130 meters was to be set as the upper limit of such a trawler to operate in Australian waters.

The Greens have categorically denied that they agreed to such a defi nition and have told me they do not believe the Geelong Star should be allowed to operate in Australian waters.

So here we have our local federal MP saying one thing and the Greens (emailed to me from Senator Whish Wilson) denying they made such an agreement.

Are the Greens and Greg Hunt prepared to put in writing the facts of this issue? Because, as I said, it appears the truth is not being told.

Andrew Raff, Ry

Pollies unitedFinally something that our federal representa-tives can work together on with a united front.

No insults or accusations going back and forth on this one. Hate, animosity and party politics have been put aside.

They are circling the wagons and going out of their way to support the entitlements spending scandal. Spending is not illegal and morals have nothing to do with the issue.

The bi-partisan legislative committee on entitlement investigation has been established and named: “Aggrandised, Prevaricating Investigation Governing, Tumescent Relega-tion of Uniform Grievous Honourariums!” (A,PIG,TROUGH).

The selection process of members on A,PIG,TROUGH! is being undertaken at this time. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

CARAVAN PARKING FREE TO RESIDENTS

NEWS DESK

By David HarrisonFOR council watchers, the shire’s austerity drive is plain to see. It’s the biscuits. Now only a small jar accompanies the pre-meeting tea and coffee, a small jar bereft of cream treats.

The gallery arrives at an hour where dinner merely beckons from the distant other side of the meeting closure, to fi nd entry barred. And, once inside, not a cream bikkie to sustain oneself.

One shivers in the cold, dark and rain, beating futilely with whitened knuckles on the locked armoured glass door (CW tends to gaudy prose when hypothermic), callously ignored by those inside luxuriating in the warmth, who at the 10 August meeting including Fred Crump of Morn-ington, world traveller and veteran inquisitor on the state of the Mornington clock on the Barkly St roundabout.

So there was Fred, on the other side of the glass, questions in one hand, gesturing with a shrug that he could not help us accomplish ingress. Was that a triumphant smirk? Was that a half-devoured biscuit he was hiding in his other hand? We dis-covered he was gloating over the English Ashes victory.

But CW is not one for lingering bitterness, un-less deprived of a cream biscuit. (Did he men-tion the small, poorly stocked jar?) The size of the meeting agenda drove such matters from his mind. As did the prospect of Fred’s questions.

Meeting under way, CW decided that the prayer needs a rewrite. The “Thys” must go, as verily they have been banished from the New English Bible. And we need to know what the evacua-tion alarm sounds like, in case a speedy egress from the chamber becomes necessary. Perhaps we should have a practice evacuation once a year.

Briefi ngs and petitions out of the way, we came to questions. Sure enough, Fred Crump weighed in, on the local government federal conference held in Canberra, which was attended by the mayor Cr Bev Colomb. What “good tidings” had she brought back to the peninsula, he asked, or had it been a “futile junket”?

It was a cornucopia, the mayor replied, com-prising environmental, social and economic goodies, plus national broadband network tidings of great joy, and other bits and pieces including carbon neutrality initiatives and news on the arts, “which we were hoping to attract more funding to”. CW frowns on sentences that end in preposi-

tions. Up with them he will not put.Then the second Crump question, on the topic

of war pigeons, 33 of which were awarded the Victoria Cross. Could a war memorial be built in Mornington at shire expense to commemorate them, he asked, as the RSL says it has no money. Two pigeons were Australian-bred. Cr Colomb said she would take the matter up with the RSL.

Would the pigeons prefer the “For Valour” medal – made from Crimean War cannon bronze and massively hindering their fl ight – to a bonus bushel of bespoke grain for the lads in the loft?

There was once a Melbourne broadsheet that had a loft atop its Collins St building to receive carrier pigeons that fl ew from ships arriving at Queenscliff with the latest news stowed in canis-ters attached to their legs – the new technology of the 19th century. They beat their rivals by a day with this system. Now news fl ies across the globe in milliseconds.

Four questions on the Skylift gondola project followed, on trees, explosives, emergency plans and loss of fl ora and fauna. This topic, and ele-ments of these questions, appear in a report else-where in these pages. The shire played a straight bat, referring to VCAT’s approval of the Skylift plans in a solid defence invoking the “it’s all their doing” line.

The councillor arc was substantially depleted, with David Gibb and Anne Shaw missing from the conservative ranks and Lynn Bowden, absent from the progressive-ish side.

Meeting chair Cr Colomb used her casting vote once or twice during the meeting, which covered the shire’s carbon neutrality policy and, again, the never-ending and testily contested Skylift saga.

Hunger gripped CW’s vittles when Item 5, Councillors and Delegates Reports, was an-nounced. He made no excuse and left; hot home-made soup and toast awaited.

Just a small jar – that takes the biscuit!

POLICE are investigating whether any video footage was taken by a gyrocopter pilot before his fatal crash at Cannons Creek on Sunday last week.

They are also seeking anyone who may have witnessed or fi lmed the incident.

Carl Solomons, 59, of Patterson Lakes, died when his Cavalon twin-seater aircraft hit power lines and crashed into shallow water on a fl ight between Tyabb airfi eld and Tooradin.

His passenger, 37, of Hampton Park, was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with serious injuries.

Neighbours waded and paddled out to assist the stricken men despite the risk of electrocution from the fallen power lines, prompting Casey CIU Detective Senior Sergeant Terry Rowlands to describe them as “heroes”.

Minimum fl ying heights for gyrocopters in Australia are 300 feet – much higher than the power lines – but Australian Sports Rotorcraft Association president Paul Campbell said “ex-tenuating circumstances, such as engine prob-lems or illness to himself or his passenger” – may have necessitated the lower altitude.

Mr Solomons was a member of the association

Videos may hold clue to air tragedyStephen [email protected]

as well as Peninsula Aero Club’s only gyrocop-ter pilot. He regularly posted videos of his fl ights online, raising speculation that he may also have recorded his last fl ight.

Detectives say videos “are one of the lines of inquiry that need to be canvassed”. Any footage found may contribute to fi nding the cause of the 12.15pm crash.

In one recent fl ight, Mr Solomons appears to be fl ying at low altitude over beaches at Inver-loch and Venus Bay. Attached dialogue suggests he was “trying to warn swimmers of fi ve rips” in the area. A post mortem last week was reportedly assessing whether the grandfather was experi-encing any signifi cant health issues in the lead up to the crash.

Casey CIU can be called on 9705 3111 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Municipal election Municipal election next Thursdaynext ThursdayCompiled by Melissa Walsh

THE winning number for the pony won by Mr John E. Jones, of Moorooduc for Red Cross Fund is 257. T. Brown, Naval Base, Crib Point. The net proceeds are £20.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a special horse and cattle sale on Monday next, commenc-ing at noon, in the Cricklewood farm yard, near the Frankston Railway Station, when a good yarding of both horses and cattle is expected. The list booked up to time of going to press is advertised in another column. On Saturday next the same fi rm will sell on account of the owner on the premises, Racecourse Farm, Frankston, cattle, farm implements and sundries. The sale will commence at 2 o’clock, the particulars of which are advertised

***THE annual meeting of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Hall. A full report of the proceed-ings will appear in our next issue.

***ON Tuesday evening Mr W. P. Mason will ad-dress the ratepayers in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall at 8 o’clock, and at the conclusion of his address Mr A. Clements will express his views on municipal matters.

***THE hon. sec. of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund (Dr Plowman) desires to acknowledge the receipt of the sum of £3 11s 9d from Mrs W. H. O’Gredy. This handsome amount was realised by her sale of golliwogs, made by herself.

***THE members of the Wattle Club have made elaborate arrangements to entertain a large num-ber of returned wounded soldiers at Clarendon House this afternoon. Tea is to be provided be-tween 3 and 4 o’clock, after which the public are cordially invited.

***The Peninsula Motor Garage Proprie- tory, Ltd, wish to notify that they have changed the name of the company from the Frankston Motor Ga-rage Pty. Ltd. They have been established about 18 months at Frankston, and have also opened a garage at Mornington. They have a good supply of cars at both places, and may be rung up at any hour, either night or day. They are also agents for the Buick and Grant cars, and keep a good supply of all motor accessories in stock.

***MR and Mrs Sheridan were tendered a social evening at the Prince of Wales Hotel on the 9th inst., on their return from their honeymoon trip to the Gippsland Lakes and Buchan Caves. Mrs Garrood, sen. received them in the draw-ing-room, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Mr C. P. Watson proposed the toast of the happy pair, and a most pleasant evening was spent.

***MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. will hold a large property and clearing sale at Shoreham on Friday next, on account of Messrs Arthur and John Pen-man, who have sold their property. The property consists of an 80 acre well im-proved and compact farm, subdivided into 8 paddocks on which is erected a 5 roomed W.B house, and numerous out buildings. The whole of the stock implements and furni-ture will also be placed under the hammer.

***OFFICIAL news has been received this week from the Secretary of Defence of a number of the lads of the peninsula having received wounds while fi ghting at the Dardanelles. While the news is bad, we must take comfort that it is not worse. The following are amongst the number:—

Second-Lieutenant Fisher (second occasion) Privates L. Polglase, P Sheridan, O.Young, and Driver Bert Roberts (the two last mentioned were employers at the “Standard” offi ce prior to enlist-ing) all of Frankston, and L. Birch of Morning-ton.

***WATTLE CLUB. This newly formed club pro-vided a very pleasant evening’s entertainment in the Mechanics’ Institute, on Saturday, August 7th. The chief form of amusement was dancing, with songs at intervals, which were all rendered in splendid style, and were much appreciated by the audience. To raise funds for the Australian sick and wounded soldiers is the object of the club, as well as to provide amusement and recreation for dozens of young people, who can, while spend-ing the small sum of 6d for a long evening’s en-tertainment, help to swell the fund for our heroes. The Club has started with a membership of over 50, and there is every indication that this number will be double before long. A very interesting item on Saturday night’s pro-gramme was a few well spoken remarks by Mr Gray, who, on behalf of the Wattle Club, wel-comed back to Frankston Mr Malcome and Mr Connell, two soldiers who had done their duty as far as they were able, but instead of now fi ghting in the trenches with their brave comrades, had been compelled to return to the homes they had gone out to defend. “They are jolly good fel-lows” was heartily sung. Messrs Malcome and Connell feelingly re-sponded, and hoped before long to be suffi ciently recovered to go to the front. A coffee supper, in which all took part, followed by the National Anthem, brought a most successful evening to a close.

***WE regret to have to call attention to the fact, as announced by advertisement in another column, that the presentation to volunteers recently en-listed from Frankston and the immediate district, arranged for Monday next, 23rd August, has been postponed. We understand that this is partly due to the outbreak of cerebrospinal meningitis and partly due to the diffi culty of getting into touch with the recruits, who have recently been transferred from Seymour to Broadmeadows.

***MUNICIPAL Elections. In the Centre and East Ridings of the Shire the two retiring members have been returned unopposed, the rate payers evidently being well satisfi ed with the past ser-vices of these two gentlemen, and are well satis-fi ed to entrust their interests to them for another term of three years. In the North Riding the seat rendered vacant by the retirement of Cr Ritchie will be contested for by three gentlemen, and considerable local interest is already excited as to who will eventually head the poll. The candidates are Messrs W. P. Mason, M. Cle-ments and O. Bailey. Mr Mason has never tried to enter municipal life before, but has always taken a keen interest in the advancement of the district and is a shrewd business man, and should make a very useful man at the council table. Mr Clements has had former experience as a councillor in other parts and if elected, will doubtless prove a useful member. Mr Bailey is not as well known as the other two candidates, and we understand, never had any experience as a councillor. He has a good gift of language, and if elected will no doubt be able to give expres-sion to his views at the council table. The election takes place on Thursday next in the Mechanics’ Institute, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

By Stuart McCulloughCLEARLY, anything is now possible. News that Jimmy Barnes has been awarded his own ice cream fl avour has completely knocked me sideways and caused me to question everything I once believed. The decision to give Jimmy his own variety is, of course, highly inappropriate for a number of reasons, not least of which the fact that the ice cream in question is a Peters’ ‘Drumstick’ and, to the very best of my knowledge, Jimmy couldn’t do a para-diddle if his life depended on it. Don’t get me wrong; Jimmy is great and deserves to be honoured. I’m just not sure that an ice cream – as tasty and delicious as it may be – is quite the way to do it.

I must have missed a meeting. I don’t remember exactly when we, as a nation, decided that the best way to respect a lifetime of good work and achievement was through dessert. I re-alize the whole ‘Sir Phil’ royal knight-hood debacle set the honours system back a notch or two, but the way things are headed, it looks like we’re on the verge of ditching ‘Australian of the Year’ in favour of a signature range of fudge fl avours and breakfast cereals. But maybe there’s little point resisting. Instead of trying to stop the inevitable, the time has come to em-brace it.

Musicians should all be required to endorse something other than their own work. By combining groceries and rock music, we will stimulate eco-nomic activity that makes everyone a winner. ‘Nick Cave and Bad Seeds

Seedless Watermelons’ would revolu-tionise the fruit and vegetable market. Midnight Oil’s ‘Power and the Pas-sionfruit’ would draw overdue atten-tion to the quiet achiever of natural snack foods. In fact, we should move towards a model whereby it’s illegal to sell something that doesn’t carry the authoritative weight of celebrity endorsement. Forget food star ratings and nutritional advice; I just want to know if Beyonce likes it.

It shouldn’t just be rock stars, though. There’s no reason why other artists shouldn’t also get their share of cross-promotional glory. German composer Carl Orff may have shuffl ed off this mortal coil, but there’s no rea-son why he shouldn’t be rolled out to lend his name to the right product. His best-known work, ‘O Fortuna’ comes from Carmen Burina. Pairing him with an affordable small sedan is, frankly, a match made in advertising heaven.

People would be queuing up to part with their hard-earned and get behind the wheel of a Carl Orff ‘Carmen Bari-na’. The stereo would be set to play ‘O Fortuna’ on a continuous loop which, if nothing else, will frighten pedes-trians at a intersections and make the guy with a bottle of detergent and the squidgy mop think twice about offer-ing to clean your windscreen.

It’s a little known fact that the author of the quantum theory, Max Planck, was a massive fan of Barbeque Shapes. Indeed, his thoughts on atom-ic and sub-atomic particles were said to be deeply infl uenced by the little bits of red fl avouring found on his fa-vourite savoury biscuit. When having to decide between Barbeque Shapes and, say, one of those seaweed infused crackers that (to me at any rate) taste like tablets of nothing, surely the en-dorsement of Germany’s fi nest theo-retical physicist would infl uence your decision-making.

Friedrich Nietzsche may have been a nihilist, but he loved nothing more than to hunker down on a wet after-noon for a few rounds of ‘Hungry, Hungry Hippo’. This set him apart from most other philosophers of the era including his hero, Arthur Scho-penhauer, who was known to prefer ‘Ker-plunk’. That the link between great philosophers and popular board games has not been promoted before now is, I feel, something of an indict-ment on the advertising world more generally.

When I look at a product like the Ab-Cruncher I think of two things:

a washboard stomach you could eat your dinner on and Gore Vidal. But for too long these two entities for good have been campaigning for a better world separately when they ought to have combined forces long ago. Not only did Gore produce some substan-tial pieces of literature; he was renown in literary circles for his well-defi ned abdominal muscles.

Julius Caesar is an obvious candi-date to endorse a set of stainless steel knives that never need sharpening; the kind that can slice through a regular household brick as easily as a piece of cheese and Benito Mussolini a natural fi t for some type of hair replacement clinic. Kaiser Wilhelm had a pas-sion for multi-grain bread and there’s nothing Napoleon Bonaparte liked more after a long day on the Russian frontier than a cup of tea with a Jaffa Cake. This will revolutionise the way we shop.

It’s an interesting question: what’s the best way to pay tribute to some-one? I suppose ice cream is as good as any. You can win medals, plaques and statuettes, but you can’t put them in a bowl and shove them into your mouth by the spoonful whilst watching re-runs of The Bill. I have to admit that I’m yet to try Jimmy’s ice cream. I’d like to tell you that I’m waiting until he comes out with a line of microwave meals and a gourmet cheese but it’s not true. Nor can I say that I don’t have the stomach for it. Rather, it’s just not to my taste.

Music Arts Food

Amsterdam-born artist, Philippe de Kraan is intent on taking Mornington by storm – art storm that is. His 48th solo exhibition, A Moment in Time, is coming to Oak Hill Gallery in September and the streets businesses and publications of Mornington are ablaze with images of his colourful expressionist paintings. De Kraan paints with exuberant passion and he wants to share that with others. Of the upcoming show he said: “I want people to walk away from his exhibition with their imaginations going wild!”

It hard not to be struck by De Kraan’s work; his bold, bright expressionistic paintings are eye catching both in content and in colour. He works meticulously over long periods of time with exacting precision. He spent three and a half years painting a one 10 x 6.5 foot canvas, The Gathering, with a miniature (000) paintbrush! It was the only way to achieve the effect he wanted. Patience and dedication to detail are clearly strengths. Have a close look at the pages of the book sitting open on the park bench in his painting, Mornington Delight.

“To have mastered the essence of expression is what I’d like my artistic legacy to be,” he explained. His portraits certainly do just that. There is depth, expression and fine detail in their faces. When he lived in Europe he used to pay sitting fees to beggars, the elderly, local fishermen and children alike to capture their personal stories. “When you paint a person, you have to make them live. You have to touch the soul,” he revealed. All his work always depicts the human form in some way.

Whether expressive oils and watercolours or meticulous brush and ink work, de Kraan has produced a body of work equal to his intended legacy. Don’t miss this unique solo exhibition opening on Sunday 5 September from 2-4 pm and continuing until Wednesday 30 September at Oak Hill Gallery, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Mornington, 5973 4299, oakhillgallery.com.au

There’s an old saying that some musicians look more like the artist than the artist themselves. This could not be truer of Ron Vincent who happens to be the spitting image of Cat Stevens, with his wild dark mane, haunting voice and gentle demeanour. It’s hard to work out if this is intentional or just part of the cosmic relationship between Vincent and his beloved Cat. And now the world for Ron Vincent has opened up with performances locally and internationally on the horizon.

“It’s just turned a corner recently,” Vincent says. “With gigs booked across Victoria and soon to be internationally with England opening up later this year.”

The Rosebud singer has had an affi liation with Cat Stevens for three decades, since being introduced to the 1970s singer as a lad, and has made it his mission to create an authentic tribute show to the iconic singer-songwriter.

“I fi rst picked up the guitar when I was 14 after hearing John Lennon’s Imagine on the radio and I was hooked. That was the start of a life-long love affair with music that is just as strong today,” he says.

“My dad and uncle introduced me to Cat Stevens music around the same age. I taped myself singing Cat Stevens and one day dad heard it and couldn’t believe how much I sounded like him and encouraged me to pursue my dream of bringing his performance and music to people who never had a chance to hear him live.”

And so the fi rst step was taken on the path to his show Ron Vincent in Concert sings Cat Stevens.

“The years in between have all led up to this point,” Vincent says philosophically.

“I went on to have professional singing lessons and in the mid-90s I did voiceover work as the plant in The Little Shop of Horrors. I’ve played at heaps of venues across Melbourne and the peninsula in cover bands like Rendezvous, Flat Chat and Third Stone. But it was always Cat Stevens that was my fi rst love,” he says.

“I don’t even like to think of it as a tribute. I am a messenger of his music.”

Anyone who sees Vincent in concert is blown away by his unique mellow renditions of all the Cat Stevens favourites. He even throws in a few that are not as well known. By the end of the concert, the audience are mesmerised and if they didn’t know much about Cat Stevens before, they are certainly fans now.

“I want to give audiences the experience of

seeing a Cat Stevens show,” says Vincent, whose own relationship to the music radiates at each performance.

“I become immersed in the songs and let myself get swept up in the spirituality of the music.”

For Vincent, spirituality and karma play a large role in his life, and he says it is important to have faith no matter what is happening.

“Just like anyone I have had some down times but always manage to stay positive and focused because I know this is what I am supposed to be doing. I wouldn’t exactly call it destiny but I know that everything has led me to this point.”

Vincent says that every day is another adventure and audiences still manage to surprise him.

“Recently I did a concert where the audience

started coming up really close to me. That was the fi rst time that’s happened and it was great. They were feeling what I was through the music,” he says.

Unlike other shows, Vincent prefers not to talk too much during the performance, apart from the occasional jovial banter.

“I think it is important that the music speaks for itself. It is so powerful that you can sense how well people are responding to it and that’s all that is needed.

“Whether playing solo or with my band, we usually have a song list but will stray away from that according to how the mood strikes and the reaction we get from the audience. That’s the beauty of being so familiar with the music. It’s not about playing each note perfectly, it’s about the soul connection with the music.”

As for the uncanny resemblance, Vincent says it might be because they are both of Mediterranean descent.

“Being of Maltese descendants, although I was born in Melbourne, I have the same look.”

Anyone who has seen Ron Vincent perform can sense it is so much more than that, as if he is channelling Cat Stevens himself, transporting the audience to another time and place.

“I only have one dream and it is quite simple. To be shown by someone with a torch to the stage, to sit there and play a full theatre and be a messenger of the music.”

Ron Vincent in Concert sings Cat Stevens will be performing at Rose GPO September 4, Ocean Grove Zebra Bar, Friday 28 August and Friday 9 October, and Frankston Arts Centre Cube 37, Saturday 10 October.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt THE scene has been set for an explo-sive fi nal round of Nepean League football after the completion of round 15 on Saturday.

There were two signifi cant results to keep an eye on over the weekend – the outcome of Rye v Somerville and the result of Frankston v Red Hill.

Red Hill was working towards get-ting the points away to the Bombers while also hoping that Rye could beat Somerville.

Had that been the case, Red Hill would have taken Somerville’s place in the top fi ve.

Whilst Red Hill held up its end of the bargain, smashing the Bombers con-vincingly by 113 points, Rye wasn’t able to beat Somerville.

However, Rye managed just nine goals against the Eagles while the visi-tors rammed home 18 majors, winning by 47 points.

The Hillmen’s winning margin, cou-pled with Rye’s losing margin, meant that the gap of 18 per cent at the start of the day between the two teams was reduced to just 3.5 per cent by the end of the afternoon.

So the stage has been set for a thrill-

ing fi nal round this Saturday.Going into the fi nal home and away

game of the season, Red Hill is in sixth place on 40 points with a percentage of 134.73.

Somerville is in fi fth place with 44 points and a percentage of 131.10. Rye is in fourth place with 44 points and a percentage of 138.24.

Red Hill tackles Dromana at home. On paper and with a fi nals berth on of-fer (potentially), the Hillmen would be favourites. However, the Tigers have beaten Red Hill on the last three occa-sions.

Somerville go up against Crib Point. The Eagles will be favourites but no-one can underestimate the capabilities of the Pies, despite their horror season.

Rye travels to Shark Park to tackle Sorrento. There is no love lost between these sides and the Sharks would love nothing more than to destroy Rye’s season. Especially after their contro-versial loss to the Demons in the cor-responding game earlier in the season.

The likely scenario looks like this – Red Hill and Somerville wins and Rye loses. Rye drops out, despite 11 wins from 16 games, Somerville jumps to fourth and the Hillmen sneak into fi fth.

There is also a battle at the top of the ladder.

Sorrento (44 points and 177.55 per cent) will still have an eye on top spot and the week’s rest – that’s added in-centive to beat Rye.

Top of the table Rosebud (48/186 per cent) travel to Hastings (44/174.79). Rosebud just has to win to maintain top spot.

There is no question that Sorrento is the side that everyone believes heads into the fi nals series as favourites.

Dromana was coming off a super win the week before against Rye and were sensational early. However, the Sharks booted fi ve goals to four points in the second quarter and ended the contest.

Myles Pitt fi nished with seven ma-jors and was the key player on the ground, while Leigh Treeby and Ryan Potter were outstanding.

Kieran Voelkl was superb for the Ti-gers, while Sam Guerts, Sam Fowler and Richard Sydnenham all played Under 18s and then had an impact in the seniors.

Rye v Somerville was billed as the match of the round.

Whilst the footy played was enter-taining, Rye was never in the contest after the 10-minute mark of the second quarter.

Rye was within fi ve points of the

Eagles at quarter time and dominated the fi rst 10 minutes of the second and opened-up a two goal break.

However, Somerville then kicked the next six goals of the second quarter and iced the contest.

The Eagles were equally as impres-sive in the second half with nine goals to four, winning 18.8 (116) to 9.15 (69).

Whilst Somerville skipper Justin Farrelly didn’t gain the possessions for say Josh Collie to Jedd Sutton (four goals), he typifi ed how the Eagles need to play to be a threat.

‘Faz’ was the biggest man on the fi eld and his second and third efforts were superb. He had the better of Rhett Sut-ton in the ruck and around the ground.

Kane McKenzie was also signifi cant in defence and Billy Rolfe was at his fi nest too with three goals.

Timmy McGenniss had 21 posses-sions in the fi rst half and had 25 when he left the fi eld with an ankle tweak midway through the third. He’ll be right for Crib Point this week.

Stephen Crowe played in the twos but is still struggling, while Ben Sedgewick and Rowan Hogenbirk both missed through quad strains.

Rye went into the match without key defender Ryan Taylor, as well as Ben

Winters-Kerr. Kris Bardon was Rye’s best, along with Scott Sterling, Jai Lloyd and Steven Daniher.

Rye’s day was typifi ed when Somer-ville’s Tom Shaw called for a handball from Rye defender Leigh Morse in the third quarter. Without hesitation, Morse dished it off and Shaw ran into an open goal.

In other matches, Hastings over-came a slow start to kick 17.13 (115) to 6.13 (49) against Crib Point, Red Hill belted Frankston with Harry Larwill booting seven goals and Paul Wintle dominating Beau Muston, Rosebud booted 30.31 (211) to Tyabb’s 5.3 (33) with Tom Baker kicking six and Devon Meadows rubbed enormous salt into the wounds of Pearcedale, who were humiliated 20.17 (137) to 8.11 (59).

Pearcedale has been lucky that the dramas at the MPNFL and Crib Point’s demise has been leading the news this season.

The Panthers invested enormous money into the season and were opti-mistic about the year.

The year has been nothing short of disastrous.

The Meadows on the other hand should have some pretty exciting times ahead.

MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW is slowly suck-ing the life out of Peninsula Division football after disposing of yet another premiership aspirant on Saturday in Mornington.

The game started in tight fashion but the home side gained the ascendancy midway through the second quarter and collectively pushed their feet on the throats of their opponent for the entire second half, eventually winning 17.12 (114) to 7.7 (49).

The Stonecats opened up a 17-point break at half time after trailing by the smallest of margins at the fi rst change.

The lead should have been so much more than three goals at half time, giv-en the Stonecats had squandered some opportunities (4.7 to 2.1) in the second quarter.

Mornington would have gone into the rooms at the long interval believing that if they could tidy some things up, that they were well in the contest.

Wrong! Frankston YCW came out and booted six goals to one in the third and the game was all over at the fi nal interval (12.10 to 5.4).

Again, the Stonecats had sucked the life out of an opponent.

Scott McLeod with three goals was at his very best. He is a powerful

player with great endurance and an undeniable appetite for the contest and victory.

Anthony Barry was sensational again from half back, setting up the de-fensive structures and driving his team into attack.

Ben Tellis has been talking about the fact that this is his last season. When you’re playing this brand of football, in this side, the last thing ‘BT’ should be thinking about is hanging up the boots.

David Bodley was the go to forward, fi nishing with fi ve goals, while Craig Nankervis is grossly underrated. Nan-kervis wins his own footy, is decisive with the use of it and gets it plenty of times each match.

Frankston YCW doesn’t have a weak link. Ricky Morris returned in the re-serves yesterday and kicked a goal. ‘Magic’ is the obvious replacement for Ben Buckley, who tore his ACL against Edithvale in the dying minutes of the match last week.

The Stonecats have proven that they are signifi cantly better than any other side in the competition. In fact, they are plus-70 points between their points for and points against on average this season. That’s more than 10 goals bet-ter (on average) than any other side.

If Peninsula Division supporters are hopeful of an exciting fi nals series,

they better change their mindset.Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers

doesn’t agree.“You’re right Toey, at times, you

sit back as coach of this team and ad-mire what they are doing on the fi eld,” Mathers said.

“However, if you let your guard down for any period of time, then the opposition can make life diffi cult.

“Anything can happen on any given day and whilst we’re in good form, that can change pretty quickly if our mindset and application isn’t right,” Mathers said.

Mathers agreed that Ricky Mor-ris was an obvious choice to replace Buckley.

“Magic has had some issues getting his body right this season and he’s got a lot of work to do. He needs a lot of match condition and we need to be confi dent that his body is right.

“No doubt Ricky is a very good player but he’s coming from a fair way back. Our depth is good at the moment and there are a number of players put-ting their hand up,” Mathers said.

Pines booted 11 goals to one in the fi nal quarter to belt Seaford by 66 points on Saturday.

In an entertaining, tight contest all afternoon, the Pythons put on a clinic in the fi nal 30 minutes to seal the match with some blistering footy.

Guy Hendry and Aaron Edwards booted seven goals each for the win-ners while Luke Potts showed once again that he is a class above at this level.

Aaron Walton was equally as im-pressive for Seaford with eight goals, while Jason Tendler also played a sig-nifi cant role with four majors.

The score was 14.8 (92) to 14.7 (91) at three quarter time. The fi nal score was 25.15 (165) to 15.9 (99).

Edithvale-Aspendale bounced back from its horror defeat last week at the hands of YCW to beat Bonbeach by 22 points.

Wayward kicking by the Eagles (10.15 to 8.5) kept the Sharks in the contest right to the very end on the scoreboard, however, in general play, the Eagles were superior.

Matthew Clark was absolutely su-perb once again for the winners while Tim Mavric back in the line-up made a signifi cant difference. Aaron Pawel was also back in the ruck for the visi-tors, which again helped with their structures.

Darcy Warke was again available from the Stingrays and was lively for-ward of centre with four goals.

Chris Bryan played arguably his best game for Bonbeach with three goals, while Gary Carpenter was at his best yet again.

Langwarrin controlled its match all afternoon against Chelsea, winning comfortably 22.13 (145) to 11.12 (78).

For the second week in a row, excit-ing forward Kieran Albanese domi-nated in the front half, fi nishing with six goals in his best game for the club. Former junior teammate Blake Hark-ness was also super impressive while Rikki Johnston was again at his abso-lute best.

Johnston is a short-price favorite to win the club’s best and fairest after for-mer Dromana premiership teammate Liam Hogan took the title last season.

Jason Clark kicked four goals for the Seagulls while Brad Clark was also a strong performer through the middle of the ground.

Mt Eliza spearhead Justin Van Unen is just fi ve goals away from kicking 100 after booting eight goals in his team’s 26.21 (177) to 6.4 (40) victory against Karingal.

The Mounties started with eight goals to zip in the opening quarter and fi nished in the fi nal term with 10 goals to one.

Rohan Heasley and Ben Landry dominated through the middle of the ground for the winners.

Hadley Tomamichel and Tom Wilkinson picked-up the votes for Ka-ringal.

Stonecats strangle another victimStonecats strangle another victimBall! Mt Eliza easily accounted for Karingal 177-40 in their Peninsula League clash and Mt Eliza’s Justin Van Unen is just fi ve goals short of kicking 100 goals for the season. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

With its strong de-sign, premium ride comfort and smart technol-ogy, it was able to combine the tough and smart to create a whole new innovative pickup.

NP300 Navara stands out from its competitors with best in segment diesel fuel economy, a cru-cial consideration for light commercial vehicle

buyers, and fi rst in segment features such as spinal support front seats and LED headlights. Cutting edge design, performance you can rely on, smart technologies and safety features all combine for a comfortable and enjoyable drive.

“The all-new Nissan NP300 Navara deliv-ers premium comfort, innovative features and advanced technology, all while maintaining the tough, capable and reliable characteristics that utility buyers expect,” said Richard Emery, Managing Director and CEO, Nissan Motor Co. (Australia).
