CONCERNS around governance and transparency have caused Frankston Council to leave the Municipal Asso-ciation of Victoria.

Council decided not to renew its membership of the peak body repre-senting councils across the state in the wake of an audit of the MAV by the

Victorian Auditor-General’s Offi ce.The VAGO report, released in Feb-

ruary, found the MAV’s board “has failed to fulfi l its obligations to pro-vide appropriate oversight of the op-erations, governance and performance of MAV, to the detriment of Victoria’s 79 councils, Parliament and the com-munity”.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said the decision to suspend its fi nan-cial membership of the MAV, cost-

ing $58,000 per year, “was not taken lightly”.

Frankston is the only one of Victo-ria’s 79 councils to suspend its MAV membership.

“Our council strongly believes in a peak body advocating for councils, however we need to be fully assured the MAV operates in an effective and transparent manner,” Cr Mayer said.

Cr Mayer said council could jus-tify spending $58,000 worth of rate-

payer money on MAV membership when the VAGO report noted the peak body had been unable to demonstrate whether its support activities contrib-uted to the effective and effi cient op-erations of councils.

“We want to see that we are getting value for money, and at the moment there is no way to accurately assess that,” she said.

“The MAV has the potential to be of great benefi t to local councils, and

hence local communities through their advocacy work, and we look forward to changes taking place that allow the MAV to fulfi l this promise.”

Frankston’s unilateral decision to effectively quit the MAV comes at a time when councils, under the um-brella of the MAV, are trying to con-vince the Labor state government not to proceed with its planned rate cap-ping policy with effect from 2016-17.

A BLOCKED drain caused a sink hole to develop outside Frankston Hospital at about 3pm last Tuesday afternoon (28 July).

Initially, an ambulance with fl ashing lights was deployed to stop cars driving into the hole before VicRoads cordoned it off.

During repairs, VicRoads cut the speed limit to 40kph and closed the westbound left lane of Frankston-Flinders Rd.

The hole was fi lled with crushed rock and the road re-opened about the same time next day.

“The cause of the cavity was blocked underground drainage,” VicRoads metro south east director of operations Michael Barker said.

“We would like to thank road users for their patience as repairs were undertaken, and the Frankston Hospital for their cooperation.”

Underage cigs Underage cigs sales crackdownsales crackdownFRANKSTON tobacco retailers failed the proof-of-age test last month.

When council offi cers conducted 45 test-purchases, 10 were made to children.

Breaching the law is costly: Penal-ty infringements of $607 were issued to those selling cigarettes to minors.

Mayor Sandra Mayer described the results as “extremely disappoint-ing”.

“Test purchasing is about ensuring tobacco retailers ask for proof of age when young people are attempting to buy cigarettes,” she said.

“Last year, across two testing pe-riods, 98 test purchases took place with just one sale to a minor, mean-ing this year’s results are extremely disappointing.”

Cr Mayer said research showed 80 per cent of long-term smokers picked up the habit as children.

She issued a stern warning to re-tailers who sell cigarettes to minors. “This is a program we run regularly and we are fully prepared to take those who don’t learn their lesson di-rectly to the Frankston Magistrates’ Court.

“Fines of up to $36,360 for a per-son and $181,800 for a company can be imposed, and retailers can lose their right to sell tobacco.”

Anyone with concerns over a re-tailer selling cigarettes to a person under 18 years of age should phone Council’s Environmental Health team on 9768 1317.

The test purchasing program is part of a wider campaign to clamp down on illegal tobacco sales.

FRANKSTON line commuters face short-term travel pain for long-term gain with sections of the railway tracks set to be closed for weeks on end while level crossings are re-moved.

Eleven level crossings along the Frankston line are earmarked to have their intersection between road and rail separated to stop traffi c delays and allow Metro Trains to eventually run more train services.

The Bentleigh, Ormond and Mc-

Kinnon stations will be demolished and rebuilt from November next year and are expected to reopen in Febru-ary 2017. Trains will run between Frankston and Moorabbin stations during a planned 34-day line shut-down near the three stations.

Passengers heading into Melbourne will be forced to take buses from Moorabbin train station to Glenhunt-ley station and also make a swap to bus travel on the way back from Mel-bourne.

The Level Crossing Removal Au-thority, tasked by the Labor state gov-ernment to oversee the level crossings

removals, has admitted there will be “signifi cant disruption” at every one of the 50 level crossings to be removed over the next eight years across the state’s rail network.

Labor has promised to separate 20 road and rail intersections during its fi rst four-year term in government.

Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan says the disruption is necessary to deliver safer and more accessible train stations and ease traffi c snarls at level crossings.

“We’re getting on with the job of removing these congested death traps to reduce congestion, save lives and

allow us to run more trains.”The eleven Frankston line cross-

ings to be removed are: North Rd (Ormond), Balcombe Rd (Mentone), Centre Rd (Bentleigh), Charman Rd (Cheltenham), Edithvale Rd (Edith-vale), Eel Race Rd (Carrum), Mc-Kinnon Rd (McKinnon), Seaford Rd (Seaford), Skye Rd (Frankston), Sta-tion St (Bonbeach), Station St (Car-rum).

The Andrews government has not yet confi rmed when the other eight Frankston line level crossings are due to be removed, forcing further rail line closures while works are carried out.

THE police Air Wing and Dog Squad were called in to help Frankston de-tectives arrest a 14-year-old boy in Mornington on Wednesday night.

He was later charged with 29 of-fences, including serious assault, aggravated burglary, evading police, and car stealing.

While running from police the boy was bitten on the leg by a police dog and required to spend the night at Frankston hospital.

He was charged next morning and remanded to appear at a children’s court at a date to be fi xed.

The boy, along with a 17-year-old male and two 15-year-old girls, was intercepted while driving an $80,000 Mercedes stolen during an aggravat-ed robbery at Brighton on Saturday 18 July.

Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Alastair Hanson, of Frankston CIU, said the car was spotted travelling south along Nepean Hwy and the Po-lice Air Wing and Dog Squad alerted.

The 17-year-old, of Patterson Lakes, was charged with car theft and also remanded to appear at a children’s court later this month.

The girls were also charged with car theft and bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Police will allege the 14-year-old was one of two males who punched and stomped on an 18-year-old Mt Martha man outside a party in Ali-cudi Av, Frankston, on Saturday 18 July.

The man was knocked unconscious and spent the night at Dandenong hospital with cuts requiring stitches, facial bruising and a broken nose.

Police put the bite on young offenders

A STEAMY double date went horribly wrong last week when the brother of a spurned female allegedly went to a Frankston house and attacked a man, 30, fracturing his skull.

Sergeant Brett Daly, of Frankston CIU, said the trouble began late Sat-urday night, in Queen St, when two females visited the house for a pre-ar-ranged date. While one couple paired off in a bedroom, the other couple sat in the lounge room but found they didn’t get on.

The woman, who was forced to walk home at 2am Sunday, complained to her brother who, with a mate, returned to the house and allegedly assaulted the victim by punching him in the face and hitting him over the head with a tyre lever.

Police on Monday arrested two men, 26 and 31, at a house in Quarry Rd, Langwarrin, and charged them with aggravated burglary and assault with intent to cause serious injury.

A 23-year-old woman was charged with aggravated burglary and possess-ing a drug of dependence after police allegedly found “just under an ounce” of the drug ice in her handbag.

All three have been remanded to ap-pear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court for committal hearings on Monday 19 October.

The victim was being treated at The Alfred hospital last week.

Double date ends in disaster

Raid finds drugs, Raid finds drugs, weapons, firearmweapons, firearm TEN Frankston detectives and the Dog Squad unearthed a large cache of pro-hibited items during a raid on a house in Screen St, Frankston, 6am Wednesday.

Executing a drugs warrant, police stormed the house, arrested a man and a woman, both 27, and allegedly found a pen pistol capable of fi ring a .22 calibre bullet, Taser, explosives, $6200 cash, laser pointer, knuckle dusters, quantity of the drugs includ-ing Ice, GHB, cannabis, as well as disguises, cable ties, and a stolen car with Queensland number plates.

The man has been remanded to ap-pear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday and the woman bailed to appear at the same court in Novem-ber.

They have been charged with pos-session and traffi cking of drugs, pos-session of prohibited weapons and the Taser, theft of a vehicle, storing unauthorised explosives, and fraudu-lently using a car’s registration.

TWO thieves working in tandem at a Frankston art supplies business on Friday distracted the owner and en-tered a staff room where they stole a woman’s handbag containing her purse and car keys.

They then used the key’s remote-control device to steal the woman’s car from an upper level car park.

Inside the purse they found the victim’s Croydon North address and used her keys to enter and steal a TV, MacBook Pro, clothing, jewellery and art supplies valued at $7000.

They also stole her daughter’s car keys.

Most of the stolen goods were then sold at a Collingwood second-hand shop.

On Saturday, police arrested a Frankston man, 40, still driving the woman’s car, and charged him with

Thieves deceive, then take car, valuables

two counts of burglary, two counts of theft, handing stolen goods, forging and uttering a quantity of counterfeit $50 notes, and obtaining property by deception.

He has been remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a date to be fi xed.

His accomplice, 32, also of Frankston, was arrested later the same day and charged with burglary, theft and deception.

He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in No-vember.

FRANKSTON police are appealing for public assistance in locating Adam Storch, above. The 36-year-old is wanted for failing to comply with re-porting conditions and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Storch is known to frequent Frankston and the Melbourne CBD.

Despite an ongoing search, police are yet to locate him.

He is described as 180cm tall, me-dium build with pale skin, brown eyes and a bald head.

The image has been released in the hope someone recognises Storch and has information on his whereabouts.

Lock it or lose itLock it or lose itPOLICE are scratching their heads over the carelessness of drivers who leave their cars unlocked while parked in the street, or driveways, overnight.

Despite a spike in the number of reported car thefts and thefts from cars, drivers are not heeding the “Lock up and Leave” message. And that’s making it easy for opportun-ist thieves to steal wallets, mobile phones, computer equipment, and even jewellery, while owners sleep undisturbed.

Last week, police investigated 41 thefts from cars in the Frankston, Seaford and Carrum Downs’ areas – with 17 found to have been left unlocked.

Of these, 16 were allegedly robbed by two youngsters who later found themselves arrested over a spate of house breakings.

A 13-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy have been charged with mul-tiple thefts and bailed to appear at a children’s court at dates to be fi xed.

It was reported on 3AW that a Frankston policeman even found himself a victim of an opportun-ist overnight car break-in, with the

thieves bragging of their success in a note left in his car.

Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Fyffe, of Frankston CIU, did not deny the embarrassing theft last week, adding, “Anyone who leaves their car unlocked out in the street overnight is an idiot.”

He said 39 number plates had been stolen in the Frankston area in July.

One-way screws that protect the plates from thieves are available at some police stations or hardware stores.

AN appreciative sell-out crowd at Frankston Bas-ketball Stadium in Seaford watched the Australian Opals down Japan 85-64 last Wednesday evening (29 July) while an off court political game over funding for the stadium goes into overtime.

Hostilities between the federal Coalition and Labor state government broke out again after La-bor Sports Minister John Eren released a state-ment claiming Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Bill-son and Prime Minister Tony Abbott “are yet to contribute a cent” to a planned $20-$25 million redevelopment of the basketball stadium.

“We have committed $2.5 million towards the Frankston Basketball Stadium so this important expansion can begin ... but Mr Billson is too busy playing politics. He needs to worry about his day job and pressure Tony Abbott to fund this pro-ject,” Mr Eren said in the statement.

Mr Billson hit back and said the federal gov-ernment has been working “constructively” with Frankston Council and the Frankston Basketball Association to try to win federal funding for the stadium upgrade.

He noted the $2.5 million Labor pledge had originally been allocated by the previous Coali-tion state government.

“The Labor state government has not contrib-uted a dollar to the project and have added no positive contribution or support at all,” Mr Bill-son said.

“They seem less interested in getting the pro-ject off the ground than playing base politics with an important local project.”

State Liberal Upper House MP Gordon Rich-Phillips issued a statement claiming the Andrews Labor government “is misleading the people of Frankston about funding provided for the Frankston Basketball Stadium upgrade”.

“It is the height of hypocrisy for local state Labor members Paul Edbrooke and Sonia Kilk-enny to be complaining about funding for the Frankston Basketball Stadium when their gov-ernment has provided zero dollars in additional funding for these important upgrade works,” Mr Rich-Phillips said in the statement.

Labor Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny insisted the federal government has not put any money into the project as yet.

“Unfortunately this means this much needed and worthwhile project is in limbo,” she said.

“Rather than rant about it, let’s work together for the people of Frankston and Seaford and sur-rounding areas and get on with the redevelop-ment of the Frankston Basketball stadium. We can only do this if the federal government puts money in as well.”

Frankston Council did not respond when asked for comment on the latest outbreak of bickering between the major political parties when contact-ed by The Times last week.

A second application for federal funding via the Abbott government’s National Stronger Re-gions Fund (NSRF) program is due to be lodged by council.

A fi rst application for $4 million was knocked back due to a lack of overall funding for the pro-ject. Council pledged $4 million, the state gov-ernment promised $2.5 million and the basketball association will throw in $1 million to redevelop the stadium to cater for more local basketballers.

A LABOR Party vote to support asy-lum seeker boat turnbacks if it wins back government has been slammed by Amnesty International.

Amnesty International peninsula branch spokesman Kevin Bain criti-cised Labor and opposition leader Bill Shorten’s move at the party’s an-nual national conference to fall into line with the Abbott government’s boats turnback policy.

Mr Bain has presented several peti-tions in recent months to Liberal feder-al government ministers Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt in Dunkley and Flinders respectively protesting against the Ab-bott government’s “inhumane treat-ment” of asylum seekers.

“Boat turnbacks are a recipe to vio-late rights and endanger lives,” Mr Bain said.

“People are entitled to have a proper asylum review process and the question is ‘turn back to where?’.

“We have a responsibility to protect and not punish people for seeking asy-lum. To promote turnbacks is one of the biggest ethical distortions in our society.”

Federal Labor MP for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus said the opposition “cannot ig-nore the thousands of people who have died at sea trying to seek asylum”.

“Provided it can be done so safely, a future Labor government reserves

Amnesty: Labor backflip on turnbacks ‘dangerous’Neil [email protected]

the option to turn back boats at sea to discourage people smugglers from risk-ing the lives of asylum seekers at sea, in compliance with the Refugee Conven-tion.”

Mr Dreyfus, a non-voting delegate at the weekend Labor conference, said a Labor government “would remove the Abbott government’s cruel and ineffec-tive temporary protection visas and its militarisation of the transfer of asylum seekers”.

“Labor will not demonise asylum seekers with the infl ammatory and ig-norant language of the Abbott govern-

ment. Instead Labor will bring transpar-ency to the process of seeking asylum.”

Mr Dreyfus said Labor will double Australia’s annual refugee intake to 27,000 by 2025.

Mr Bain said the major political parties are “compromising some of our fundamental human values” and this will damage Australian society in the long term.

“If all countries did this [turnbacks] the United Nations Refugee Conven-tion would collapse and the implica-tions for that are not positive for Aus-tralia or the whole world.”

A WAR veteran’s family has bridged a gap between generations with the gift of a World War II era musical instrument to Patterson River Second-ary College.

A trumpet played by Neil Richard Webb, who passed away at the age of 91 in February last year, has been passed on to Patterson River Second-ary students by Mr Webb’s son, Peter.

Mr Webb wrote to school princi-pal Maree Vinocuroff in May after reading an RSL magazine article mentioning Patterson River Second-ary student Bernard Field playing The Last Post on the bugle at Anzac Day commemorations.

The Geelong resident decided there and then, shortly after his father’s death, to pass on one of two trumpets to the Carrum school his father left in his will.

“Dad would have thrilled to see someone so young attempting to play The Last Post because it’s such a dif-fi cult thing to play,” Mr Webb said.

“I was quite inspired ... the main bugle dad played is in the Canberra National War Museum but I wanted to give the trumpet to Bernard Field.”

Neil Webb was a war veteran who served in Darwin and Papua New Guinea between 1942 and 1946.

He received eight medals for front-line war service.

His son says his father was a talent-ed trumpeter from the age of 8 and he was appointed bugler for the Ballarat Sea Scouts at the age of 13.

Legacy will be heard loud and clear

War veteran: Neil Webb’s family have generously donated a trumpet the digger played throughout his life.

When Ms Vinocuroff received the generous offer from Mr Webb she had a suggestion of her own: the trumpet should be passed on from student to student each year.

“He thought it was important for his father’s legacy to be passed on and we were very happy about that,” the principal said.

“The trumpet will be a perpetual award and will be given to someone who can’t afford to buy a trumpet and will be used during their time at the school before being passed on to

another student.”Mr Webb visited Patterson River

Secondary College to hand over the trumpet on behalf of his father who he described as “a marvellous man” who often took the time to speak to young-sters about the signifi cance of The Last

Post during his 25 years as a bugler at Geelong RSL.

“I had the feeling this was the right way to go and dad would want this. I know my father would love that a young musician will care for the trum-pet and play it.”

Legacy preserved: Peter Webb, second left, has donated his war veteran father Neil Webb’s WWII era trumpet to Patterson River Secondary College and visited the school last week with Seaford RSL’s Geoff Andews, left, to hand it over to student Brendon Colett and principal Maree Vinocuroff, right.

A HELPFUL witness watched as a man allegedly stole the number plates from a car parked at a Carrum Downs service station.

She then photographed his getaway car, and returned to report the crime to the 82-year-old female victim.

Details of the incident, in Hall Rd, 3.30pm, Monday 13 July, were passed on to Frankston CIU detectives who arrested the man on Monday last week.

Detective Senior Constable Caro-line McGill praised the efforts of the 40-year-old Carrum Downs woman who watched as the thief crouched down and unscrewed the plates, then followed him 100 metres to his car and, surreptitiously, snapped a picture of the car’s make, model and registra-tion number.

“She was brave. Without her this case would have gone nowhere,” De-tective McGill said. “It highlights how members of the public can play a sig-nifi cant role in solving crime. If she had not been there it would have been just another theft.”

A Dandenong man, 29, was charged with theft and tampering with a vehi-cle. He has been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates Court in Sep-tember.

CREDITORS have so far lodged claims of $2.334 million against Shiva Yoga Inc, which went into voluntary liquidation in April.

The organisation’s main assets are three houses in Mt Eliza, two in Petrel Av and one in Clendon Close.

The properties are near the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga, head-quartered on a much larger property in Tower Rd.

However, the residential ashram in Tower Rd surrounded by carefully tended gardens around an ornamental lake is owned by Shiva Yoga’s former spiritual leader, Russell Kruckman, also known as Swamiji and Swami Shankarananda.

Paul Burness, of liquidators Wor-rells Solvency & Forensic Account-ants, said on Thursday that the two Petrel Av houses were being marketed by real estate agents ConleyLUFF, with one priced at $525,000-$575,000 and the other at $500,000-$550,000.

Its mortgagee, the Bendigo Bank, is handling the sale of the more valuable Clendon Close property.

Mr Burness said Shiva Yoga “has very little cash” and the net funds from the sale of the three properties would go towards clearing up outstanding debts and claims.

He said the Clendon Close property had a mortgage of $800,000.

Mr Burness said Shiva Yoga Inc had paid for extensions to the Tower Rd ashram – owned by Mr Kruckman

Keith [email protected]

– “for which in due course we’ll seek repayment”.

Financial records seen by The News show that show $1.38m has been spent improving the ashram building and lists Swami Shankarananda as having loaned the organisation $373,508. “Re-tained earnings” of $2.9m were shown

for the year ended 30 June 2014.Mr Kruckman is one of the creditors

who have lodged a claim against Shiva Yoga.

However a caveat loidged by him on two of the three Shiva Yoga-owned properties two days before the ap-pointment of the liquidators have now

been lifted, according to Mr Burness.St Kilda lawyer Angela Sdrinis is

also preparing a claim on behalf of a number of women who claim to have been victims of sexual misconduct by Mr Kruckman while attending the ash-ram.

Mr Burness said he has communi-cated with Ms Sdrinis but as yet has not received any claims on behalf of her clients.

When announcing its appointment in April, Worrells issued a news release that quoted Mr Burness as stating “I am cognisant of the allegations against the ashram and would be dealing with all potential claims as part of the liqui-dation process”.

Ms Sdrinis has previously told The News she wants to settle the claims out of court.

However, the allegations of sexual assault by Mr Kruckman continue to be investigated by the Seaford-based SOCIT (Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Teams).

While confi ning her claims to wom-en making allegations of sexual im-propriety against Mr Kruckman, Ms Sdrinis said she had spoken with other men and women formally associated with the ashram in regards to unpaid wages; taxation; whether “people were volunteers or employees”; donations; and donated works.

Mr Burness remains hopeful that tax concessions granted to Shiva Yoga Inc will not be withdrawn by the Austral-ian Tax Offi ce.

“At this stage they [the ATO] seem satisfi ed and the organisation is still on

the [exemption] register,” he said.If the tax exemptions were with-

drawn the amount of money available to pay out Shiva Yoga’s creditors could be diluted further by it having to pay capital gains tax.

A spokesperson for the Australian Charities and Not-for-profi ts Commis-sion (ACNC), which advises the ATO on the suitability of an organisation to receive tax exemptions, said that if revoked tax liabilities could be back-dated to 2012.

This was confi rmed last week by an ATO spokesman: “Due to secrecy pro-visions in the taxation legislation, we are unable to provide specifi c informa-tion on individual cases. If an entity’s tax concession status is revoked and that revocation is backdated, the ATO is able to seek payment of taxes due from the date of that revocation. The taxes likely to be affected are income tax, including refund of franking cred-its, and fringe benefi ts tax.”

Shiva Yoga has been seen as a not-for-profi t and has been granted a tax concession by the ATO, GST conces-sion, FBT rebate and income tax ex-emption.

Mr Burness said he had specialist tax advice to effect that the tax exemptions should stay.

He is now awaiting delivery of “last year’s audited fi nancials”.

Relations remain strained between those still aligned with the ashram and many who have left disillusioned after revelations in December 2014 of sexu-al improprietry between their guru and many of his women devotees.

Continued from Page 1MAV president Bill McArthur said

the organisation will implement rec-ommendations made in the VAGO report.

“Our response to the recommenda-tions made in the report was unani-mously endorsed by all member councils at our May State Council meeting. The MAV continues to im-plement the recommendations from this report and our ongoing relation-ship with VAGO is positive.”

Mr McArthur noted 78 of Victoria’s 79 councils remain members of the MAV and, although membership can vary from year to year, “traditionally the MAV has enjoyed a strong mem-bership”.

“In recent years we’ve mostly had

all 79 councils on board however there were periods prior to this when a handful of councils chose to suspend their membership.”

Neighbouring municipalities King-ston and the Mornington Peninsula Shire have not suspended their MAV membership.

Kingston Council corporate ser-vices manager Paul Franklin said its councillors had sought assurances from the MAV that the VAGO recom-mendations “will be implemented in a timely and transparent manner”.

“Kingston is of the view that effec-tive representation of the sector to other levels of government via a col-lective such as the MAV’s is very im-portant and is to the benefi t of King-ston and the sector,” he said.

A spokesman for the Morning-ton Peninsula Shire was unaware of councillors having any formal dis-cussions about the damning VAGO report but said an offi cial response was unavailable before deadline be-cause “the mayor has been away the past few days”.

Cr Mayer said Frankston Council will decide whether to renew its MAV membership at the start of the 2016-17 fi nancial year.

“Over the next 12 months, we will monitor the performance of the MAV prior to making a decision on whether we will rejoin as fi nancial members.”

FRANKSTON councillors have accused the Andrews government of “hypocrisy” over its plan to cap rate rises at the rate of infl ation from 2016-17 onwards.

Councillors note charges such as the land-fi ll levy, fi re rates levy and a new metropoli-tan planning levy collected by council on the state government’s behalf will not be capped amid anger that most of the money in levies Frankston Council collects is not returned to the municipality.

At last month’s public council meeting councillors noted the landfi ll levy funds are supposed to be reinvested into “resource re-covery” operations but the Labor state gov-ernment had not contributed any funding towards a new $12.3 million waste transfer station due to open at Skye’s Harold Rd in October.

Cr Colin Hampton said it is “disgraceful” that about $7 million has been collected from Frankston ratepayers for state coffers since 2008 but little of the money had been rein-vested in Frankston.

“The landfi ll levy has been taken from this council since 1996. It started off as $2.50 per tonne and now it’s $52 a tonne. That’s why our residents when they go to a landfi ll any-where have to pay such an exorbitant amount of money to dump a trailer now.”

Cr Darrel Taylor slammed the new metro-politan planning levy, applicable from 1 July on all planning applications over $1 million, as being another money spinner for the state government.

He called on the Labor government to re-turn the revenue to councils to help with the rising costs of assessing planning applica-tions at a local level.

“It’s absolute hypocrisy. They’re going to rake in millions out of this ... it’s a con, we’ve been absolutely conned. This is the last straw. It’s an absolute joke,” Cr Taylor said.

The metropolitan planning levy was intro-duced by the former Coalition state govern-ment led by then premier Denis Napthine.

Labor state government spokesman Kosta Pandos said the state planning department is fi nalising consultations on how to allocate the levy funds.

“Planning and subdivision fees will be ad-justed once the planning department has fi -nalised consultation on a regulatory impact statement and worked through the consulta-tion fi ndings with the minister,” he said.

Environment Minister Lisa Neville said the Labor government recently released a State-wide and Resource Recovery Infrastructure Plan outlining seven regional waste and re-covery plans for all regions of Victoria.

“We are committed to considering more effi cient ways to use the revenue on waste going to landfi ll,” Ms Neville said.

“The landfi ll levy is also used to fund core business activities of the EPA, Sustainability Victoria and the seven Victorian Waste and Resource Recovery Groups.”

Frankston councillors’ criticism of the state government’s “hypocrisy” in not capping levies pre-empted the release of a draft report on a framework for council rate capping by the Essential Services Commissions released late last Friday (31 July).

The draft report recommended “revenue from special rates and charges, ‘revenue in lieu of rates’ and the fi re services levy should not be included in the rate cap”.

The fi re services levy rose by 7.2 per cent for the 2015-16 fi nancial year.


No cap on ‘hypocrisy’

AUGUST is the month for families to take up The Mayor’s Reading Challenge in Frankston.

The challenge, for children aged 0-5 years, en-courages parents and carers to read regularly with their children to help instil a love of language.

“Reading to your child from the day they are born can give them a great start to life and learn-ing,” Mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said.

“Residents are invited to join the challenge, share stories and win great prizes. The more you read, the more rewards and chances to win. You can share a book, sing songs or rhymes, read signs or

even the newspaper.”Entrants should register their children with

Frankston libraries to receive a reading kit including a reading activity record to track progress.

Stickers, pencil cases and other prizes will be available at Frankston libraries throughout August.

Participants who hand in their completed read-ing records will be eligible for a major prize draw on Monday 31 August with winners notifi ed by telephone.

CHANGE is in the air in Frankston’s city cen-tre with new works under way in Wells St. More than $3.5 million is being spent beautifying the street, jointly funded by the council and the state government.

Poppyseeds Deli is looking forward to ex-panding its outdoor dining service on the wider footpaths being built as part of the streetscape improvements.

“The ‘new look’ footpath will create a fresh, clean space for our outdoor diners,” trader Mi-chael Stuart said. “Wells St is a ‘must’ for people in Frankston, with all the banks, post offi ce and cafes and restaurants there.

“The streetscape works will improve opportu-nities for local business and will provide a mod-ern and aesthetically pleasing environment.”

The council is planning for increased foot traf-fi c in the area, particularly with 700 South East Water staff now based in Frankston.

The streetscape project will make the area more attractive and will also improve pedestrian safety. As well as wider footpaths and new paving, 11 plane trees are being planted on what will be a tree-lined avenue, alongside gardens, new street furniture and pedestrian-friendly lights.

Designs unique to Frankston are being made into practical features, such as high quality sculp-tural seating and LED lighting made from stain-

less steel. The council is working with artist Dar-ryl Cowie to create pieces tailored to Frankston’s bayside roots.

Most of the streetscape works are being done at the Nepean Hwy and Young St ends of Wells St, but some enhancements are also planned for central Wells St.

Businesses are open at all times during the works, which are being staged to minimise in-convenience. Work is being done after-hours as much as possible. Construction is scheduled to end in October.

“Please support local traders by continuing to shop and visit the cafes in the area,” the mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said. “The end result will be worth the temporary disruption. We’re all look-ing forward to the completion of Wells St as a lot of planning and work has gone into this project.

“It’s also exciting that the design palate has po-tential to be used in the future upgrades of Young St.”

New businesses recently opened in Wells St include Stereo Espresso (café), Equinox Dreams (pop culture and gaming collectibles), Flight Centre (travel consultants), Japonica Day Spa (beauty and healthcare), Skin Deep Tattoos (tat-tooists), Beehive (a honey specialty retailer) and The Living Earth Co. (gift shop).

Abalone, lobster ‘poachers’ caughtTHREE men allegedly poached 80 abalone and a rock lobster at Sorrento back beach last week.The daily recreational limit for abalone is fi ve a person – when the season is open. However, the recreational abalone season is now closed. Mornington Fisheries offi cers received a tip-off on the 13FISH hotline about the alleged poaching, fi sheries offi cer Heath Cameron said.The offi cers watched “for several hours” as two of the men allegedly dived in a bay for abalone and used a kayak to carry the fi sh to a third man on the beach.

Fisheries Offi cers later intercepted a ve-hicle and uncovered 80 large abalone and a female rock lobster in berry (with eggs).

The taking of female rock lobster in ber-ry is prohibited and the season for female rock lobster is also closed.

A 32-year-old Point Cook man, a 32-year-old Tarneit man and a 58-year-old international visitor were interviewed by Fisheries offi cers who also seized their diving equipment, including the kayak.

Two of the men will be charged on sum-mons for a number of alleged offences including taking more than twice the catch limit for abalone; taking abalone in the closed season; taking rock lobster in closed season; and taking rock lobster in berry.

Mr Cameron said this was “good exam-ple” of public support and vigilance to as-sist in protecting Victoria's marine fi sher-ies resources.

“Anyone who sees suspicious fi shing activity is encouraged to call 13FISH –

or 133 474 – anytime,” he said.For information about fi shing rules and

regulations visit vic.gov.au/fi sheries or call 131 186.

FRANKSTON Embona Armed Robbery Squad detectives on Friday arrested and charged fi ve males allegedly involved in violent robberies at two southern peninsula 7-Eleven service stations in the early hours of Wednesday.

Four juveniles were charged with armed rob-bery and other offences and remanded in custody to appear at a Melbourne Children’s Court later this week. The fi fth, 18, was charged with armed robbery and remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later this week.

Terrifi ed attendants feared they could be killed in the 3.07am and 3.30am raids, which were both captured on CCTV footage. The two men were being counselled late last week as they sought to come to grips with the nightmare events.

Police will allege that in the fi rst robbery three balaclava-clad bandits ran behind a customer into the 7-Eleven at the corner of Pt Nepean Rd and Sixth Av, Rosebud.

A lone, 35-year-old male attendant looked up to see the offenders, also wearing hooded jumpers and bandanas, rushing to the counter – one bran-dishing a handgun and another carrying an axe.

The offender with the axe and the unarmed of-fender allegedly jumped onto the counter and climbed through security wire, while the gunman stood in the customer area, pointing his gun at the attendant as well as the customer, who was crouch-ing on the fl oor between shelving and a freezer.

The two behind the counter ransacked cup-boards and fi lled up a bin with cigarettes and cash from the till.

The man with the axe then smashed a glass door between the customer area and behind the counter and forced the attendant to lie of the fl oor in the customer area.

The gunman also threatened the customer, who was still crouching on the fl oor.

Arrests after armed robberies

Police believe the bandits parked their cars on Sixth Av, walking through an area behind the store, and followed the customer inside.

The trio is also believed responsible for the 3.30am armed robbery at the 7-Eleven service sta-tion, in Point Nepean Rd, Dromana.

In a similar raid, the lone male store attendant was confronted by three offenders, one with a handgun. Two other offenders again went straight to the counter and climbed through security wire.

With the gun pointed at his head the attendant was pushed into the staff area and forced to open the till. The offender with the axe smashed a win-dow near the till and stole an undisclosed amount of cash. The other two offenders used a bin to carry

off their haul.The one with the axe –described by police as the

“most volatile and violent” of the three – smashed a computer monitor in the manager’s offi ce, struck the wall and again hit the window.

They said the offender with the fi rearm appeared “more in control” throughout both incidents. The offender lost his balance and fell over after becom-ing entangled in security wire on the counter.

The offenders are believed to have used a grey or silver V8 Commodore sedan and black SUV in the raids.

Expert help for children’s Expert help for children’s foot and leg concernsfoot and leg concernsThere are some common observations and issues related to children’s feet and legs that parents are often concerned about. We asked Muscu-loskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify some of these.

Flat Feet: Contrary to popular belief the ap-pearance of fl at feet in children, is NOT usually cause for concern. However, if there is associ-ated pain, balance issues or excessive rolling inward of the ankles, parents should seek profes-sional assistance.

Pigeon Toe & Out Toe: The appearance of in-toeing (‘pigeon toed’) or out-toeing (‘duck feet’), can affect the capacity of a child to run, jump and balance well. These issues may be as-sisted during a child’s developmental years and should be checked.

Growing Pains: Growing pains are very common and are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones. The exact na-ture of the pain should be determined as soon as possible, so should defi nitely be checked.

Shin Pain: Medial tibial stress syndrome, ante-rior leg pain and compartment syndrome are all commonly referred to as shin splints. Any shin pain should be checked.

“If your child regularly complains of foot or leg pain or has balance or mobility issues you should get it checked by an experienced muscu-loskeletal podiatrist experienced. The good news is, with proper diagnosis and correct treatment most issues can be addressed quite easily,” says Dr. Kavanagh.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics are experts in assisting

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

YOUNG working Australians could be wasting thousands of dollars in un-necessary fees every year just by having too many separate superannuation accounts.

According to fi gures released by the Australian Taxation Offi ce (ATO), 45 per cent of working Australians aged between 18 and 35 have more than one super account.

The ATO is encouraging young workers with multiple accounts to con-sider combining their super into one preferred account using myGov.

Australian Prudential and Regulation Authority (APRA) fi gures show the median fi gure for fees and charges paid by Australians for a low cost superannuation account is $532 per year.

ATO Assistant Commissioner of Superannuation, John Shepherd says young workers are not always as engaged with their super, but don’t realise they could be wasting thousands of dollars of their own money over time.

“Young people are often mobile in the workforce and it’s not uncommon to open a new account when they start a new job, started instead of taking their preferred fund account with them,” Mr Shepherd said.

They might also have super accounts which they have lost track of, for example, they may not have updated their contact details with their funds when they moved house – there are still $5.8 billion worth of accounts in this category,” he said.

“myGov has made it much easier for young people to combine their

super accounts with just a few clicks,” Mr Shepherd said.“Simply log on and link to the ATO if you have not already done so.

You’ll be able to see all your super accounts in one place and from there it’s simple to consolidate all your funds into a single account, saving you money in unnecessary fees.

“We’ve recently seen a signifi cant increase in Australians merging their super into one preferred account with more than 265,000 accounts with balances totalling $1.13 billion consolidated in the six months to December 2014. In one case, 17 accounts were consolidated.

“This is a rise of 400 per cent from the six months to December 2013 when 52,000 accounts worth more than $270 million were consolidated.

“If you’ve tried to combine your accounts before and found it diffi cult to do, give it another go. We have simplifi ed the process since our online services were fi rst launched and it’s now easier than ever to consolidate your super,” Mr Shepherd said.

Mr Shepherd said that before people consolidate, they should consider any insurance cover their accounts may hold, as it will be cancelled once they close their account.

“People should also make sure their super fund has their tax fi le number. They’ll pay less tax on their super and it will help us to make sure all their super accounts are displayed online,” he said.411 MCCLELLAND DRIVE, LANGWARRIN

NEWS DESK

STATE government utility South East Water is one giant step closer to selling off a disused res-ervoir in Mt Eliza for housing.

A planning panel has ruled in favour of the 2.8-hectare reservoir on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads being used for houses and rejected calls for it to become a conservation reserve.

A submission to set aside two lots for public housing was also rejected as was a request by Mornington Peninsula Shire that one hectare be public open space.

The decision has bitterly disappointed Kun-yung Residents Group, formed late last year to push for a reserve in an area that has just two reserves (not counting the foreshore and beach).

The panel report now goes to the shire council, which has the option of changing or rejecting it but the fi nal say lies with state planning minister Richard Wynne.

Ministers rarely reject panel reports although former Labor planning minister Justin Mad-den infamously rejected one in the mid-2000s and permitted a bitumen storage plant at Crib Point, which was never built due to commercial changes.

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

In early 2014 SEW asked the shire to rezone the land and its 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres each, worth about $450,000 a block or $10.8 million in total. The dam was decommis-sioned in 1999 and has become a haven for wild-life, fenced off from predators and humans.

One block fronting Kunyung Rd contains a pumping station, which will be retained by SEW.

SEW is building an eight-storey tower next to Kananook Creek in Frankston, which will house

Panel backs South East Panel backs South East Water on reservoir saleWater on reservoir sale

Last chance to see: South East Water’s decommissioned reservoir in Mt Eliza is a step closer to becoming housing with no provision for a nature reserve following a report from a panel that ignored calls for more open space in the area. Picture: Yanni

about 600 employees. Selling the land would be a good top-up of its coffers.

Rebecca Taylor of Kunyung Residents Group told The Times the planning panel report was “disappointing but not entirely unexpected”.

“The panel did not give suffi cient weight to the concerns of residents – or expert witnesses about the ecology of the reservoir, which is home to or visited by about 61 animal and bird species in-cluding the endangered grey headed fl ying fox.”

Ms Taylor said she was dismayed that not one block had been set aside for a reserve “based on the technicality that it is not a new subdivision”.

(The reservoir land was part of the area’s origi-nal 1924 subdivision but had a controversial be-ginning when the government wanted to build a reservoir to serve a growing Mt Eliza in the 1956 and selected land on the western side of Kunyung Rd owned by transport magnate Reg Ansett. Mr (later Sir Reg) Ansett fought the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission for four years. Then he bought 25 vacant blocks and es-tablished homes on the eastern side of Kunyung Rd for 28,000 pounds as an alternative to his property.)

“We are hoping the shire council will reject the report outright and be bold enough to stand up to South East Water and seek more land to be set aside for ecological purposes,” she said.

Ms Taylor said many organisations and indi-viduals had helped the residents’ group includ-ing Nepean Planning Consultants, ecologists Jeff Yugovic and Malcolm Legg, Steve Karakitsos of South East Centre for Sustainability, Ian Mor-rison of Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, and “all the wonderful residents who signed the petition and made a submission to council”.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Captain Hartland killed in GallipoliCaptain Hartland killed in GallipoliCompiled by Melissa WalshWE regret to report that Captain Les-lie Hartland (whose letter is published in this issue) has been killed in action. Deep sympathy is expressed for Mr and Mrs Hartland and family, in their great sorrow.

***A STOREHOUSE, on the Brooklyn Estate, owned by Mr Archibald, was entered last week, and some tools, etc, were stolen. The thieves were a mean, hungry lot, as they stripped a small rhubarb plot. The matter has been re-ported to the police.

***AUSTRALIA Day (30th July) was celebrated at Mornington Junction by a bazaar and sale of gifts, the proceeds of which it is intended to be given to the Australian Red Cross and Belgian Funds.

The bazaar was opened at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and continued open during the afternoon and evening, in the Presbyterian Church, kindly lent for the occasion.

The attendance was good and a brisk trade was carried out by those who took part. No less than £36 5s being realised and as the expenses had been cut down to a minimum (£2 16s), the promoters will have the handsome sum of £33 6s to be divided between the two funds, which speaks volumes for the generosity of those that at-tended.

The committee wishes to record their high appreciation of the many in which Mrs C. Grant, and the friends from Somerville assisted the move-

ment, and also to thank Mr M. Brody for the use of his marquee. A cushion is still unclaimed, won by “Baby Jack.”

***THE social in aid of Lady Stanley’s special appeal for the wounded Aus-tralians, which was held on Friday evening last, was undoubtedly the most successful yet held. The hall, which had been tastefully decorated with colored fl owers and fl ags, was fi lled to its utmost capacity.

Songs were rendered in fi ne style by Mr L. Denham, Mr A. E. Denham and Mrs Woodhouse, and the dancing was kept going until about 3am. The committee had prepared excellent re-freshments, and is to be highly con-gratulated on their splendid method of management.

The net proceeds reached the sum of £9 2s 6d and as the expenses will be only about £1, a highly satisfactory sum will be forwarded to the Fund. Since July 1 the committee have re-ceived the sum of £32 15s in donations in aid of the Red Cross Fund; £14 9s by monthly subscription, and 308 ar-ticles have been forwarded to the cen-tral depot.

***IN accordance with a notice in last week’s issue, a public meeting of the residents of Frankston was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening for the purpose of recording its determination to continue the war at all hazards to a victorious end. The hall was well fi lled, and considerable enthusiasm was shown in the proceed-ings.

The President of the Shire (Cr W. J. Oates) occupied the chair, and after the National Anthem had been sung, he asked Dr Plowman (the secretary) to read the minutes of the previous two meetings held in connection with the patriotic movement in Frankston.

On the motion of Rev H. Jackson, seconded by Mr Mason, the minutes as read were confi rmed. The chairman in feeling terms, referred to the sad news just received by Mr Hartland of the death, whilst in action at Gallipoli, of his son, Captain L. Hartland. The deceased was the second in Victoria to offer to go to the front on the declara-tion of war.

He expressed the deepest sympathy for Mr and Mrs Hartland and family in their bereavement; at the same time they had the consolation of knowing that he had died nobly in fi ghting for his well beloved country. The audi-ence here all rose in expression of sympathy with the bereaved ones.

The chairman then asked Dr Plow-man to move the fi rst resolution. Dr Plowman said the resolution com-mended itself to all right thinking people, and like good wine, required no bush. It might be thought superfl u-ous to hold such a meeting in a small place like Frankston, but it was like the grains of sand on the seashore – it took all the small units to make up a great whole.

He would not move this resolution if he thought the war was an unjust one, but when Germany declared war on Belgium, it behoved England to defend that country against that great

nation. If, when the Germans had crossed the Belgian frontier, England had not declared war he would have been ashamed to call himself an Eng-lishman.

He was impressed that the resolution he was about to move was not only a resolution to defend England, but it was one to defend our own hearths and homes. Our brave soldiers are fi ghting over there for us as much as if the en-emy was at our gates. To underrate the necessity of carrying on this war to a successful termination would be a ter-rible mistake. He felt their must be no lack in enlisting and reinforcing till the enemy is utterly crushed. Any peace before that would be the very worst thing that could happen, therefore it behoved us to carry the following resolution unanimously:–

“On this Anniversary of the declara-tion of a righteous war, this Meeting of the Citizens of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings records its infl exible de-termination to continue to a victori-ous end the struggle in maintenance of those ideals of liberty and justice which are the common and sacred cause of the Allies”.

Mr E. McComb seconded the reso-lution. Rev R. Jackson, Dr Maxwell, Sergeant Malcomb, Mr Hunt, Mr W. P. Mason, Mr Grey, and Mr Richardson spoke in favor of the resolution, and on being put, it was carried unanimously.

The chairman then read a circular from the Australian Patriot’s League in which they requested that the following resolution be put:–

“That this meeting of the Shire of

Frankston and Hastings is of the opin-ion that all German and other alien enemies, whether naturalized or not, at the present time in the employment of the Government at home or abroard, whether Federal or State, either in a civil or military capacity, should be instantly removed from their positions, and that the Federal Government and the State Government of Victoria take steps to carry this into effect.”

“That this meeting of Citizens of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings is of the opinion that all German or other alien enemies residing in Australia should be instantly interned during the continuance of the present appalling war, and that the Federal Government take steps to carry this into effect, and that it is desirable that the Govern-ment take possession of their property and apply it to the cost of their main-tenance.”

After the resolutions had been thor-oughly discussed they were put to the meeting and carried unanimously. The meeting then closed with the National Anthem.

We call attention to an advertisement in another column of a meeting of the contributors to the Patriotic Fund. The Treasurer holds a substantial balance in hand and he will ask directions as to its disposal. Subsequently the meet-ing will resolve itself into one to orga-nise entertainment and presentation to those volunteers for the war who have recently enlisted from the district.

By Stuart McCulloughSOME things ought to be considered private. They are not for broadcast or devoured by the eyes of others. But without even knowing it, I have been betrayed. My secret shame has been exposed for all to see, putting me at real risk of enduring ridicule and mockery. So now that the cat is out of the bag and it can only be moments before you hear this tantalising piece of gossip, I might as well get in fi rst. The plain truth is this: my name is Stu-art McCullough and I sometimes drink decaffeinated tea.

There you go: I’ve said it. It’s okay to be shocked and even a little let down. There’s a reason that I’ve kept this information secret for so long. Drinking tea is, of itself, considered by those who prefer to suck down on mega-lattes and short blacks with each alternative breath to be a form of heresy. But to remove caffeine – the one redeeming feature of such a bev-erage – is an outrage of unimaginable dimensions for such people. So much so that they may well need a cup of tea and a good lie down just to restore a sense of calm which, given their pref-erence for industrial strength drinks, is something of an irony.

So how did my secret shame be-come public knowledge? Were my ac-counts hacked? Was it a case of loose lips of Mick Jagger-esque proportions sinking ships? Not at all. I have not been attacked or let down by someone else’s inability to keep a secret. Rath-er, I have been betrayed by the drink itself. That’s right: my tea has turned against me and completely spilled the beans even if spilling the beans sounds

more like something coffee would do rather than tea. What’s even worse is that, until recently, I was completely oblivious to this act of betrayal.

With every tea bag, there’s a little piece of string and a little paper tag. These things are held together with a

tiny staple and, together, they facilitate the all-important dunking process. As anyone who drinks tea will tell you, it’s all well and good to let the bag in-fuse in its own sweet time, but sooner or later you’re going to want to take

matters into your own hands and give that thing a couple of hearty dunks. But as important as the tag may be, this was the very source of my betray-al. Not satisfi ed with simply including the name of the particular brand of tea, it carried a message directed to the world at large.

‘De-stressing with a decaf’ declared the tag as it dangled over the side of my cup. Oblivious, I had been wander-ing around the offi ce with this thing in plain view. Frankly, a declaration of this kind is nothing short of a sign of weakness. Not only does it expose me as a wuss of near unthinkable propor-tions but also suggests that the act of getting a hot drink to take back to my desk should be interpreted as a some kind of cry for help. Surely, this will inevitably (and rightly) expose me to ridicule. Upon spotting this message I quickly ripped it from its string, hop-ing no one had learned my dark and terrible secret. But as I took a closer look at the packet, I noticed for the fi rst time that each tea bag seems to have a different message.

‘I’m on my break from caffeine and work’. This one isn’t so much a dec-laration of weakness as it is plain ob-noxious. If I saw someone fl outing a message like that I would give them a particularly wide berth and, later, steal their stapler. As for ‘Do not want list: Caffeine distractions’ and ‘Yes to refreshment, no to caffeine’; they’re not so much informative as they are fl at-out judgemental. Much like those signs you see planted in the front yards of houses with especially lush gardens that declare themselves to be using tank water, what they’re really saying

is that they’re better than you are. As for ‘Meditating with a decaf, back in 10’, if I’m going to peddle a message like that I might as well go all the way and start wearing hemp trousers and listen to Grateful Dead records. But if I, as the owner of these tea bags, fi nd them and their grandstanding to be of-fensive, I can only imagine the impact they’re having on others.

It’s not just my tea bags that are con-spiring against me. Yesterday, I dis-covered that one of my running tops as a message sewn into the hem along the bottom. ‘Don’t forget to drink a beer or two along the way’. I don’t know if this is an act of retaliation against the tea bag people or some form of sabotage and trying to throw me right of my game, but I am confused and alarmed that all these objects have so much to say when, to be frank, it’s re-ally not their place to do so.

Tea bags, running tops and other sundry items should all just be quiet. When I want their opinion, I’ll ask for it. Until then, I just want to drink my wuss-bag tea in peace and without in-advertently slagging off other people. I am not de-stressing or meditating. Nor is some kind of principled stand against caffeine which, truth be told, I like very much. It’s just a beverage. No more, no less. Douglas Adams once wrote about The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul but was silent as to whether the tea in question for decaffeinated or full-strength. It probably didn’t mat-ter. I’m not sure quite what he meant by that phrase, but I’m determined to fi gure it out. In the meantime, perhaps I should just put the kettle on.

Whilst Nick Cave has slowly but surely become one of Austra-lia’s most successful and highly infl uential international super-stars, it’s easy to overlook the contributions made by members of his bands – namely The Birth-day Party, The Boys Next Door, The Bad Seeds and Grinderman. Whilst long-time wingman Mick Harvey has established himself as a producer of note and cur-rent wingman Warren Ellis is an accomplished fi lm composer and one third of instrumental The Dirty Three, other Cave cohorts such as Conway Savage and Hugo Race have quietly achieved respect and notoriety as artists in their own right.

Race, with his band The True Spirit, has just released a new

record – his fi rst in seven years. The album, itself titled Spirit, has received phenomenal press worldwide, indicative of the esteem in which the the singer-songwriter-producer is held outside of his home country. UK publication Vive Le Rock gave the album 8/10, whilst the UK’s Q Magazine describe it as “one of the best records he’s ever made”. Thankfully for us locals, Race is back home with the band for a series of album launch shows, including a performance at Castlemaine’s The Bridge Hotel on Saturday 15 August and Elsternwick’s Flying Saucer Club on Friday 21 August.

THE TRUE SPIRIT

By Lachlan Bryan

Hear Neil Diamond’s legendary Hot August Night album in its entirety – one of the best-selling albums in Australian music history - 1 in 3 homes has a copy!

The show also features interesting stories about how the songs were created, and of Diamond’s dark journey from being a struggling Brooklyn poet, to becoming one of the worlds most loved performers.

As well as being a celebration of Diamond’s greatest hits, Hot August Night and Me, offers its audience so much more.

Performer Dominic Finley is a former member of 80s chart toppers Cutting Crew (known for their number 1 hit I Just Died

in your Arms), and has a background worlds apart from Diamond’s New York upbringing in the ‘Tin Pan Alley’ days of Broadway.

Finley’s is the world of cobbled streets, terrace houses, and a show business grounding won out of the gritty working men’s clubs in Lancashire, in the North of England.

‘Lost between two shores’ Finley’s story leads to his eventual emigration to Australia, a true Neil Diamond country!

Hot August Night and Me will be at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday 7 August at 8pm. Tickets on 9784 1060 or at thefac.com.au

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt RED HILL kept its fi nals chances alive with a gutsy four-quarter perfor-mance against Hastings on Saturday at Thomas Barclay Reserve.

Whilst the Hillmen continued its push towards fi nals, Hastings let slip an opportunity to break away from other sides vying for a top three posi-tion.

The Hillmen were too strong over four quarters, winning comfortably 14.8 (92) to 10.5 (65). It was Red Hill’s best win of the season.

It was the stars who shone yet again for the Hillmen, but it was teenage defender Jonah Siverson who really stood out playing in the back half.

Siverson has become a very valu-able commodity at Red Hill and his form in the past month has been out-standing.

Sean Holmes was outstanding for the Hillmen too and played arguably his best game for the season with three goals. Harry Larwill’s transition

from defence to attack continues to be a masterstroke by coach Tony Black-ford too. Harry booted another three goals on Saturday.

Paul Wintle is a star but goes un-noticed most weeks. One can’t under-estimate the signifi cant contribution Wintle makes most weeks in defence.

Paul Rogasch led the charge for Hastings and Josh Mulheron again gave his smalls fi rst use of the pill.

The Blues tackle Tyabb next week while Red Hill has the bye.

Rosebud maintained its position a game clear at the top of the Nepean Division ladder after leading all after-noon to beat Somerville.

The Buds opened well with fi rst quarter goals to Jason Bristow and Tom Baker. They kept Somerville goalless in the opening 25 minutes of the match and led by 15 points at the fi rst change.

Rosebud was able to maintain the momentum of the game for almost the next 90 minutes.

Tom Baker booted two goals in the last quarter to stretch the margin to 24

points, before Somerville came home with a rush, only to fall short by one straight kick, 9.7 (61) to 9.12 (66).

Rob Forrest returned to the Rose-bud side after a broken jaw and didn’t waste any time booting three goals and collecting best on ground honors.

Matt Baker was a rock across half back and Greg Bentley enjoyed his second dominant performance against the Eagles this season. No doubt that Bentley saves his very best for the good sides.

Justin Farrelly was outstanding in the ruck for the Eagles and Jedd Sut-ton and Scott Simpson worked hard. Adrian Speedy and Adrian Ridout booted two goals apiece.

For the second time this season, Crib Point pushed Sorrento to the wire.

The fi rst time the sides played, Crib Point had a blistering fi nal quarter and overrun the Sharks. On this occasion, the Pies booted six goals to four after half time but started their run too late and went down 6.11 (47) to 8.9 (57).

Jamus Campbell was superb again

for the winners while Troy Schwarze was the instigator in getting his side over the line.

Brad Arnold led from the front for the Pies and James Cook played argu-ably his best game for the season.

If I was any coach looking to play fi nals, I’d be looking to sit down with Pies coach Duane Annable and shout him a cuppa!

Devon Meadows came storming home in the last quarter against Rye but it wasn’t enough to cause an upset, going down 13.12 (90) to 10.15 (75).

The Meadows let themselves down in the fi rst quarter when they squan-dered opportunities, booting just two goals from 10 shots at goals.

Rye on the other hand converted fi ve of their seven shots and led by 12 points at the fi rst change. The margin blew out to 34 points at half time and the game was done and dusted right there. The Meadows booted 7.6 to 4.5 after half time.

Andrew Dean booted four goals for the Demons while Jai Lloyd provided enormous drive from half back. Ryan

Mullett also dominated through the middle of the ground.

Pat Harmes was again outstanding for the Meadows while lesser-likes in terms of reputation in Jayden Sullivan and Jack Henderson were also strong performers.

Frankston Bombers had its best win of the season, dominating Dromana to win 13.9 (87) to 6.8 (44).

Zac Longham was at his absolute best for the Bombers with seven goals while Brett Sutton and James Degen-hardt dominated.

Kieran Voelkl and Chris Ongarello were the best of the Tigers.

In the fi nal game Pearcedale beat Tyabb 24.22 (166) to 9.6 (60) as ex-pected.

Pat Heijden booted 10 goals and was instrumental in the win while Ben Mitchell completely dominated. Alex Harnett was also impressive in his second game.

Jake Anderson booted fi ve goals for the Yabbies and was clearly their best, along with Adrian Clay.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntEDITHVALE-ASPENDALE is com-ing and are looking ominous after blowing Mornington away by more than fi ve goals on Saturday.

Edithvale started well and led by 11 points at quarter time and nine points at the major interval.

However, it was the seven goal to one third term that set-up the 14.13 (97) to 8.17 (65) victory.

Edithvale-Aspendale, as we well know, is hard to stop when its confi -dence is up.

One could argue that the Eagles’ draw has been relatively soft over the past fi ve weeks, however, it’s hard to argue with fi ve wins on the trot.

Three of those fi ve wins have come against Langwarrin at Lloyd Park, Pines and Mornington. That’s three of

the best six sides in the competition right there.

The fact of the matter is that the youngsters feel like they belong and the more experienced players are at the top of their game.

Mark Meehan was outstanding once again on Saturday with four goals, while Matt Clark continues to rip the competition to pieces with three goals in a best on ground performance. Watching Clark run around is like watching an U16 playing U12s foot-ball.

Tim Mannix and the underrated Mark Mullins were outstanding too for the Eagles.

Graeme Yeats and the Edithvale brains trust must be congratulated on the way they have managed Tim Man-nix. He seems to be up and going at the right end of the season.

Joel Miller was again Mornington’s

best while Warwick Miller was also very good.

It’s hard not to wonder what the issue is at Mornington. They seem to have fallen off the pace.

Frankston YCW again fl exed its muscles on Saturday, this time belting Pines.

The Stonecats booted eight goals to one in the fi rst quarter and at Jubilee Park, there’s no coming back from that.

Again, the winners shared the goals around, Anthony Bruhn booted four of them and Craig Nankervis three.

Byron Barry and Kevin Lylak domi-nated and Luke Collins played his best game for his new club.

Trent Potts and Aaron Edwards were the best of the Pythons, who now seem to be running out of steam.

Seaford and Langwarrin slugged it out in a goal fest, the visitors eventual-ly getting home by seven points, 18.15

(123) to 17.14 (116).The Kangas opened-up the game

in the third quarter with nine goals to three, before Seaford fi nished with six goals to one.

Kieran Albanese showed he belongs in the senior side with four goals for the Kangas, while Dale Binks played higher at times and fi nished with three majors, along with Sean Herdman.

Jayden Grose and Michael Parker were outstanding through the middle of the ground.

Joe Hallal wound back the clock with four goals for the Tigers and Mi-chael Herbert and Josh Stokes worked tirelessly.

Justin Van Unen booted 11 goals and moved to 83 for the season after his side Mt Eliza smashed Chelsea on Saturday, 22.19 (151) to 6.3 (39).

The Redlegs booted 10 goals to fi ve in the fi rst half and kicked 12 goals to

one in a dominant second hour.Rohan Heasley and Dave Barton

were at their best through the middle of the ground.

Todd Gardiner booted two goals for the Gulls and James Sivijs was tireless also.

Bonbeach was forced to work hard to get the four points against Karingal.

It was a tight fi rst half and only 12 points separated the sides at half time.

Through the likes of Daniel Smith in his 300th game and Mark Tyrell, as well as Chris Bryan at full forward with fi ve goals, the Sharks were able to get on top.

The margin was 29 points at three quarter time and the fi nal score was 18.16 (124) to 5.8 (38).

Karingal didn’t score a goal in the second half, despite the efforts of Had-ley Tomamichel and Aaron Paxton.
