THE state government is inviting pub-lic feedback on a $100 million tourism plan at Point Nepean already endorsed by the Premier Denis Napthine.

Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith announced on 31 July that the “public consultation period” for the plan was open until 28 August.

Although calling for public com-ment, the government has not commit-ted itself to making any changes to the proposal, which now needs planning

approval by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Mr Smith said the plan would “trans-form the iconic Point Nepean Quaran-tine Station into a world-class tourist destination and education precinct”.

The successful proposal by Point Leisure Group – run by Myer family members Richard and Trine Shelmer-dine – includes a hotel, thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre, accommodation including both luxury and camping styles, shops, cafes, res-taurants and a heritage museum and jetty.

An earlier version of the adopted

plan seen by The News shows triangu-lar-shaped luxury “retreats” near Che-viot Beach and close to Point Nepean as well as a large circular bathing pool inside of the Quarantine Station pre-cinct.

The Victorian National Parks Asso-ciation said questions that should be answered by the government include the length of the lease for the Quaran-tine Station area and how much rent Point Leisure Group will pay.

“The Napthine government has changed the National Parks Act to allow for 99-year leases in national parks, which is tantamount to private

ownership. Is this what is proposed for Point Nepean?” VNPA executive di-rector Matt Ruchel said.

“In the United States, best practice for proposed commercial uses in na-tional parks is to require a substantial bond. We understand that this is an amount up to the value of the devel-opment – that is, if the development is valued at $100 million, the bond is also $100 million.

“Many of the buildings there will have uses that are not available to the general public, but are only for people who have paid to be there. Will the public still be able to enjoy the site's

natural and cultural heritage freely, or will they have to pay?”

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said is-sues raised by the VNPA were “still in discussion as part of the proposal put forward by The Point Leisure Group”.

“The Point Leisure Group have made an offer in their Request for Proposal which includes rent, term of lease and management responsibilities.

“DEPI [Department of Environment and Primary Industries] will be dis-cussing the full terms with PLG in the coming months to reach a fi nal agree-ment.

A COMMUNITY garden for Dromana residents is closer to fruition thanks to the determination of Sa-mantha Blair and her friend Helen Sweetnam.

The pair have been liaising with Mornington Pen-insula Shire for about two years to fi nd a suitable lo-cation for the project and have settled on a block of land in Marna St, opposite the tennis courts bordered by the car park and residential housing on three sides.

Council has provided a $5000 community partner-ships grant for the community garden, the fi rst to be formally assessed by the Shire as part of its recently released ‘Community Gardens policy’.

Ms Blair also thanked Cr Graham Pittock for al-locating discretionary ward funds towards the set-up costs of the proposed community garden.

Permaculturalist and senior rangers at The Briars, Jarrod Ruch, drew up the concept design plan for the garden.

“Soil testing was recently conducted,” Ms Blair said. “The results reported that the soil is free of con-taminants.”

Ritchie’s IGA Supermarket has agreed to add the project to their Community Benefi ts scheme so Dromana residents can contribute to the garden’s start-up costs.

“We’re now working on a projected budget for the garden to present a clear case for council’s delibera-tions on our application,” Ms Blair said.

The community garden will be a place for all to learn about sustainable gardening at a time that hous-ing blocks are becoming smaller in scale.

The Dromana Community Garden team meet on the second Tuesday of each month at the Dromana Old Shire Offi ces, 359A Nepean Hwy, Dromana. All are welcome to attend. Contact Samantha Blair on 0408 345 561.

THE guns of Fort Nepean are set to ring out again on Tuesday to commemorate one hundred years to day that the fi rst shot of the British Empire in World War I was fi red.

Dozens of dignitaries, including Victorian Gov-ernor Alex Chernov, state and federal politicians, armed forces representative and the families of the servicemen manning the Fort Nepean guns in 1914, will be joined by hundreds of visitors for a special commemorative event at Point Nepean to mark the outbreak of WWI.

The event on 5 August has been organised by the First Shot Committee in recognition of the pivotal role played by the peninsula on the open-ing day of the Great War.

On that day in 1914, the Coastal Artillery Gun Emplacement No 6 at Fort Nepean fi red a single warning shot across the bow of the German mer-chant vessel SS Pfalz, preventing its escape from Port Phillip Bay to the freedom of the open sea.

The shot, at 12.45pm, came just thee hours and 45 minutes after war was declared in London (at 11pm on 4 August London time or 9am on Wednesday 5 August, Melbourne time) and rep-resented the fi rst hostilities between the British Empire and Germany of WWI.

First Shot Committee chairman, Major Bernie Gaynor from the Royal Australian Artillery, said the shot marked the opening salvo in a confl agra-tion that brought four years of untold suffering and sacrifi ce and indelibly set the course of world history.

“Of all the hundreds of millions of rounds of all calibres that were fi red over the next four long, hard, sad years by the member nations of the British Empire, in a war whose grim ferocity consumed and affected so very many Australian lives, the shot fi red from Gun Emplacement No 6 was the very fi rst,” Major Gaynor said.

“Under extreme pressure and in never before experienced circumstances – the start of a world war – Australian gunners showed they were up to

the task. They acted swiftly, professionally and decisively – they did exactly what was expected of them.”

The First Shot Committee, which includes the Sorrento-Portsea RSL, Parks Victoria, Morning-ton Peninsula Shire Council, Federal MP for Flin-ders Greg Hunt and state MP for Nepean Martin Dixon MLA), with support from Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Australian Defence Force, was established to promote the historical signifi cance of the event.

Mr Hunt said the 100th anniversary was “mo-mentous occasion” that provided an opportunity for refl ection on Australia and Victoria’s involve-ment in the war while honouring those who served.

“All of the military personnel involved on that day performed their duties commendably,” he said. “None would have had any idea then how irrevocably the world had changed, even as the echoes of their fateful shot reverberated through the remote coastal fort.

“We have every reason to be proud of the brav-ery and courage of our Australian troops. It is be-cause of their efforts that we are able to gather as members of a free, peaceful and prosperous nation.”

He commended “everyone who has been in-volved in bringing this commemorative event to life”, in particular Major Gaynor, “whose passion and enthusiasm has driven this project from the start”.

Tuesday’s 100th anniversary commemoration coincides with the opening of a new $350,000 tourist “experience” at Fort Nepean that aims to enhance the telling of Point Nepean’s unique place in history.

At the same time, a campaign has been launched to restore the gun that fi red the fi rst shot to full working order and fi nd locate and retrieve the shell from the bottom of Port Phillip.

Search mission: Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan, documentary fi lm maker Terry Cantwell, Roger Daly and Ted Baillieu with Mount Eliza Secondary College students Harry Maxwell and Josh Daly.

Quest for first shot fires upTHE mission to recover the shell fi red from Fort Nepean across the bow of the SS Pfalz marking the fi rst shot fi red by the British Empire in World War I is gathering momentum, with interest and sup-port for the project steadily building ahead of next year’s Anzac Day centenary commemorations.

More than 120 people last week attended a Project Longshot information session in Mt Eliza during which were technical issues con-cerning the recovery effort were discussed and historical anecdotes from 1914 shared.

Among the participants of the two-hour presentation at Ranelagh Club last Saturday was former premier Ted Baillieu – the current chair of the Victorian Anzac Day Committee – who

spoke about his passion for Melbourne’s history and the global signifi cance of the fi rst shot fi red from the Point Nepean.

Mount Eliza Secondary College students Harry Maxwell and Josh Daly presented an information display of the event, the centrepiece for which was a wooden replica shell Josh made recently with his grandfather, Roger Daly.

Project Longshot team leader Mark Ryan outlined efforts to recover the shell and the tech-nical diffi culties dive crews faced searching for a small object in such a vast area of water.

Mr Ryan is founder of Southern Ocean Ex-ploration, Australia's most successful shipwreck discovery team.

FORMER prime minister Kevin Rudd called it “the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time” but failed to meet the challenge, avoid-ing the reality of dealing with climate change for political reasons.

However, tackling climate change is something fi ve local climate real-ity ambassadors are determined to achieve, both by their day-to-day ac-tions in living a sustainable lifestyle and by spreading the word that time is fast running out for governments to act to make a real difference before it is too late.

Former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Reade Smith, South East Councils Climate Change Alli-

ance excutive offi cer Greg Hunt (not the federal environment minister and Flinders MP), wildlife conservationist Sarah Beebe and associate nurse man-ager Sharon Kellett have signed up to join a green army with a difference: the Climate Reality Leadership Corps.

The four attended an extensive train-ing session last month presented by former US vice-president Al Gore in Melbourne.

Mr Gore narrated the 2006 docu-mentary An Inconvenient Truth which brought the dangers the world faces from climate change to widespread attention. He has dedicated his post-political life to lobbying governments around the world to reduce carbon emissions to tackle climate change.

The four climate reality ambassa-dors are available to give presentations

on how a sustainable future can still be attained by making a global shift from dirty fossil fuels to clean, renew-able energies like solar and wind.

Ms Kellett, a 51-year-old mother of three, said she took governments’ inaction on climate change “person-ally.”

“As a mother I make no apology in taking this very personally,” she said. “If it is the business of future genera-tions, then it is my business too.”

“The training we received with the Climate Reality Project was anything but doomsday. It informed us regard-ing the many ways that we can ad-dress climate change, both as global humanity and as Australians.”

Wearing a way to jobs successPREPARING for a job interview can be nerve wracking, especially for those who may have been out of work for a lengthy period of time.

Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula has reopened its doors in Frankston to help unem-ployed women return to employment.

The not-for-profi t organisation relies on dona-tions and grants to offer specialised advice on how to dress for success at job interviews. They can even provide business attire.

General manager Helen McLean said Frankston Council had helped relocate the Dress for Suc-cess boutique from Keys St after a fl ood there to Bayside Shopping Centre.

She said Dress for Success had helped more than 3000 women and school leavers over six years fi nd work by improving their job-readiness and interview skills.

“Our mission is to help the long-term unem-ployed and socially disadvantaged have the con-fi dence to get back to work,” Ms McLean said.

Clients are referred to Dress for Success from agencies such as Centrelink. Ms McLean said “mock interviews” prepared job applicants for the real thing.

The organisation was forced to shut its Rose-bud offi ce last year due to a lack of funds. Ms McLean said donations of business clothes or money were vital and appreciated. Dress for Suc-cess still offers support for peninsula clients and often visit peninsula schools to give careers ad-vice.

The Dress for Success boutique is now open at Shop 3 Balmoral Walk, Bayside Shopping Cen-tre, Frankston.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi has dubbed a Labor Party plan for a new container port near Geelong “fundamentally fl awed”.

A statement issued by the mayor on Thursday supporting the $12 bil-lion expansion of the Port of Hastings means the shire will be at odds with the state government if Labor wins the November election.

“The proposal to build an eight kilo-metre-long pier is problematic enough, but when you consider the amount of dredging that would be required to ac-commodate the larger vessels, it just doesn’t stack up - particularly when Hastings is already a natural deep wa-ter port,” Cr Celi said.

Before Cr Celi’s endorsement of expanding the Port of Hastings, the shire’s position had been to give “in principle” support.

“However, this support has been conditional on satisfactory resolution of the issues raised by the community, particularly ensuring that Hastings is further developed as an environmen-tally sustainable ‘green port’, and that the necessary transport infrastructure is provided ahead of demand to avoid ad-verse traffi c and rail transport impacts on the shire’s townships,” offi cers stat-ed in a report to councillors last week.

“The business case should also clearly identify the economic benefi ts to the Shire and the south east region.”

The state government has not re-leased any cost estimates of upgrading rail and road links to service the new port.

The mayor’s decision to enter the battle over the site for Melbourne’s next container port comes a month after Victoria University researchers issued a warning that Western Port

Mayor blasts Labor’s ‘new’ portMayor blasts Labor’s ‘new’ portKeith Plattkeith@mpnews.com.au

may not be the best option for a new container port.

The Build it – but will they come? report cast doubts on the need for a port that can accommodate the world’s largest ships.

Co-author Professor Hermione Par-sons said the decision of where to build a port was too important to be left to politicians.

Ports Minister David Hodgett last week issued a statement saying the report “contains many inaccuracies” and was “based on the false belief that larger ships will never come to Victo-ria and that catering for them is a waste of time”.

Mr Hodgett said it would be “com-pletely ignorant” and “economically reckless” to assume that the size of container ships would stop increasing.

“To stick one’s head in the sand and mount arguments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victo-ria’s economic prospects.”

Mr Hodgett said Victoria needed the “sort of visionary thinking” of former Victorian premier Sir Henry Bolte who “zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s”.

At the time, Sir Henry envisaged Western Port as being the “Ruhr of the

south” – emulating Germany’s mas-sive industrial centre - and said petro-chemical companies facing tough en-vironmental laws in Europe should be invited to operate at Hastings.

When asked about atmospheric pol-lution, Sir Henry replied: “it’ll blow away”.

Mr Hodgett’s statement is published in full in Letters, Page 13.

Maritime analyst Sandy Galbraith was quoted in The Age newspaper last week as saying the shipping industry “doesn’t want [Labor’s] Bay West”.

He said trucking companies had a “great vested interest” in a port on the western side of Port Phillip “but that’s not the driver of where Melbourne’s next port needs to be, ships are”.

Dr Parsons argues that Victoria should have a fall-back position if the Port of Hastings proposal does not prove viable, economically and envi-ronmentally.

While the state is spending $110 mil-lion on studies over four years to show the port is viable, Dr Parsons says its development may not be able to meet international obligations to protect wetlands.

Her report estimates more than 70 per cent of containers would have to reach Hastings – by road or rail – through

metropolitan Melbourne, increasing distances from the current average of 22 kilometres to more than 100.

Dr Parsons’ report stated that it was “simplistic” to expect large ships would head to Melbourne because there was a port. It was a view “not refl ected in the commercial operations of shipping companies or the supply chain industries in international or capital city markets”.

“The Port of Hastings Development Authority projects anticipated service of container mega ships can be put into context by comparing with those trad-ing on the major east-west shipping routes between Asia and Europe. The Port of Rotterdam handles mega ships to service a market hinterland of 350 million people, compared with Aus-tralia’s total market population of 23 million people and Victoria’s current population of 6 million that is antici-pated to grow to 10 million people by 2050.”

Cr Celi said the Port of Hastings was the “only operational deep water port capable of accommodating the larger container ships currently being con-structed and used worldwide”.

“Hastings is perfectly placed to be Victoria’s second container port,” Cr Celi said.

“There is 3500 hectares of land al-ready zoned for port-related activities available within the precinct, which is unique in Australia.

“The development of the Port of Hastings is a great opportunity for our region, providing a signifi cant boost to our local economy and creating sus-tainable employment opportunities for our community today and for future generations.”

Cr Celi said a Department of Trans-port investigation of Labor’s so-called Bay West plan found that 66 million to 84 million cubic metres of mate-rial would need to be dredged from the sea fl oor so ships could reach the site – “up to four times more than was dredged in the previous channel-deep-ening project”.

The Build it – but will they come? report says the size of ships coming to Australia will be determined by the shallowest port.

“The greater proposed water depth at the Port of Hastings, therefore, may have little or no infl uence on the size of vessels, given that the container ships normally also serve the other capital cities with ports that will not accommodate the larger vessels.

“Unless each major capital city port deepens their shipping channel and berths, the larger vessels will not come.

“The stark differences in market siz-es emphasise that in order to maintain a container shipping service that satis-fi es Australia’s need for reliable, regu-lar (weekly) movement of imports and exports, particularly the substantial agricultural and perishable food-relat-ed exports, the smaller container ves-sels are likely to be more suitable than the larger mega ships; the transit times of Australia’s agricultural and food ex-ports are kept to a minimum through regular and frequent direct vessel calls across all Australian ports.”

FISHERIES offi cers will charge a man with catching more than the legal limit of grass whiting from Flinders pier.

Following a tipoff, the offi cers watched the man as he reeled in fi sh after fi sh, before fi nally booking him for having 101 grass whiting, 81 more than the daily bag limit.

Senior fi sheries offi cer Rod Barber said the man, 52, was seen to catch more than the daily limit in two hours.

“The offi cers then observed the man

pack the fi sh into a plastic bag, walk off the pier and place the bag into the boot of his car,” Mr Barber said.

“The man then walked back to the pier, resumed fi shing and allegedly took another 12 grass whiting. At this point the Fisheries Offi cers intercept-ed the man and inspected his car.”

Mr Barber said the offi cers found 89 grass whiting in the boot bringing his total catch to 101, “more than fi ve times the daily bag limit for that spe-cies”.

The man will be charged on sum-mons with exceeding the daily bag limit for grass whiting and will appear in the Frankston Magistrates Court at a later date.

“This is a great example of how ac-curate and timely reporting of illegal fi shing activity can help us to ensure the sustainability of the state’s fi sher-ies,” Mr Barber said. “This kind of behaviour is unacceptable and shows a blatant disregard for our valuable natural resources in Victoria.

Reports of illegal fi shing can be made to the 13 34 74 hotline.

n As part of a crackdown on illegal fi shing investigations by the Austral-ian Fisheries Management Authority led to the conviction last week of two South Australian fi shermen.

The men were fi ned $36,000 for falsifying catch returns to hide shark catch from AFMA and dodge quota limits during the 2012 season.

In April, a third fi sherman was fi ned $2000 for his involvement in the scam.

“Illegal fi shing activity undermines the integrity of management measures in place to ensure fi sh stocks are har-vested sustainably, the fi shing indus-try remains viable and importantly, that fi sh resources will be there for future generations,” AFMA general manager of fi sheries operations Peter Venslovas said.

Suspected illegal fi shing or black-market fi sh supply can be reported to 1800 274 634.

Peninsula FireplaceCentreAS SEEN ON

FURIOUS behind-the-scenes activity is occurring as the Red Hill ward byelection counts down to 23 August, election day – the voting deadline is 22 August.

Preference deals are done, newspaper advertisements are being placed. “Vote for me” posters will appear on fences. And conscientious voters will start poring over election material.

Stripped to its essentials, the byelec-tion battle is broadly between two council groups – progressives and conservatives.

A win to the conservatives effectively preserves the council status quo; a progres-sive win could change the face of council in far-reaching ways.

Helpful material can be found on the Victorian Electoral Commission website, including the 17 candidates’ statements and their how-to-vote list.

To start making sense of who is running and why, read the candidates’ statements. Go to vec.vic.gov.au and look under “Cur-rent elections and polls” for “Mornington Peninsula Shire Council”.

Click the underlined “by-election” line. Scroll to “Who has nominated” and click. Candidates are listed in ballot paper order. Click any red underlined name to see all the policy statements and preference lists.

Preferences can indicate pretty clearly who is favouring whom and thus what camp they’re in.

Combined with policy statements they also reveal general philosophies – business or green, community-focused or with a broader agenda.

For example, Shawn Jackson, top of the ballot paper, says he is fed up with rate ris-es and shire fi nances generally and wants to use his business skills to help put things

right. His second preference goes to fellow Red Hill denizen Kerry Watson, with third preference to Mark Fancett, regarded as one of the more favoured contenders.

One could conclude from the words and numbers that Mr Jackson is a community candidate who would be happy to see Ms Watson or Mr Fancett win if he doesn’t.

Michael Treadwell, a long-time local, takes a scattergun approach that involves spending and tight control of fi nances, rates and debt, plus a “review” of tip fees “to reduce dumped rubbish”.

His preferences 2 and 3 go to Alastair Young (who gives his preferences 2 and 3 to Treadwell and Bryan Payne) and Bryan Payne (who gives his prefs to Brian Mor-gan and Leigh Coleman).

You’ll be astonished to learn that Cole-man gives his 2 and 3 to Payne and Young, and Morgan gives his to Payne and Tread-well. There’s a tight little group!

Payne states he is a chartered accountant, Coleman describes himself as a retired ex-ecutive and Young writes that he is a car-penter with “experience running building, farming, food and marketing businesses”.

This group can be safely categorised as business/conservative.

On the other hand, candidates Kate Roper and Kylie Greer fall more towards the progressive camp. Roper has a land management qualifi cation, queries the Rosebud pool project and has equestrian and landcare interests.

Prefs to ex-councillors Leigh Eustace and Neale Adams (progressive/green). Greer expresses concerns about the Arthurs Seat Skylift proposal.

Another marker is to whom candidates allocate their last two preferences. Roper gives 16 to Coleman and last to Young. Greer gives 16 to Darren Andrew and last to Morgan. Morgan gives 16 to Adams and

last to Eustace. Coleman also gives 16 to Adams and last to Eustace. Andrew gives 16 to Morgan and last to Peter Holloway – who kindly gives Andrew his tenth pref.

Are you detecting any pattern? With 17 candidates, anything (almost)

may happen when preferences are distrib-uted in the Red Hill ward poll.

Ricky Muir of the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party got into the Senate with 0.51 per cent of the primary vote due to preferencing outlined by the “preference whisperer”, Glenn Druery, credited with several such coups. Muir has just sacked Druery as his senior adviser.

Voters will get an information pack in the mail from the VEC any day now.

This writer encourages you to study the material. Much policy is vague (“we need to improve what council does for its ratepayers”) too ambitious (“I can deliver a richly deserved larger share of council resources for the ward”) too optimistic (“spending that gives value for money”) too reassuring, sort of (“no issue will be considered too trivial”).

There. I have just possibly put myself offside with fi ve candidates in one para-graph. I have possibly put myself even more offside for not mentioning the other 13. My aim has been to inform, not spruik candidates.

It is for you voters to take this poll seri-ously: study the candidates so you cast an informed vote.

Only donkeys cast donkey votes. And please, don’t complain about voting being compulsory if you take Anzac Day and Remembrance Day seriously.

You have been given the privilege of voting by the centuries of bloody confl ict that have delivered it to you. Honour the dead by taking their sacrifi ces seriously.

Continued from Page 1“By working in partnership with the private sector, we can sup-

port a year-round, vibrant tourism destination with a range of uses that preserve and enhance the experience of key historic buildings and the rich history of the Quarantine Station.”

Mr Dixon said the development meant the level of public ac-cess to the Quarantine Station area would be “unprecedented in its history” with the continuation of “all existing events and ac-tivities … as well as a range of new ones”.

“This project is unlocking a large area of public land that can be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike for many years to come,” he said.

Mr Dixon said the Point Leisure Group’s plan “follows strin-gent guidelines that will protect and enhance the local environ-ment, coastline and historic buildings”.

“This vision will also bring a huge boost to the Mornington Peninsula and the state’s economy, with up to 220 jobs to be generated during construction, and up to a further 390 ongoing jobs.”

Mr Ruchel warned there was a “huge risk” of private develop-ments growing, “especially if they are within the 99-year lease period. Ninety-nine years is a very long time - more than 24 elec-tion cycles”.

He said the draft master plan for Point Nepean included a jetty in the Ticonderoga Bay dolphin sanctuary.

“This jetty would damage critical seagrass habitat for the resi-dent Burrunan dolphins as well as many other marine species that rely on this underwater area for their homes,” Mr Ruchel said.

“The Napthine government argues that the Quarantine Station is falling down and not widely used by the public at present.

“It omits to tell people that the Commonwealth only handed over the station to the Victorian government in 2009, just fi ve years ago.

“The government has put a lot of effort into attempting to sell off the heritage precinct, rather than trying to make it 'work' and attract visitors as it is.”

Mr Ruchel said the VNPA opposed “private enclaves with 99-year leases within publicly owned parks that restrict access for the general public and are an ongoing threat to the protection of the natural values of the parks”.

The tourism plan can be viewed on the DEPI website or at the Point Nepean Quarantine Station visitor centre.

An open day at the site will be held by Point Leisure Group, DEPI and Parks Victoria 23 August.

Cold blast IT wasn’t quite snow but it might as well have been as the peninsula copped a savage blast of icy conditions over the weekend. After one of the mildest winters on record, peninsula residents received a nasty reminder of just how cold a “proper” Melbourne winter can be, with the mercury plunging to 16-year lows. Thursday’s sleet storm produced the starkest images of the wintry cold snap, with roads including Peninsula Link turned white by a blanket of snow-like ice, offset by menacing black skies. But the accompanying temperatures were almost balmy compared to what was to follow. Ironically, it was the clear skies over the weekend that brought the coldest conditions, with temperatures plunging to close to 0 degrees. Offi cially, the temperature hit 2.7 in Frankston and Mornington on Sunday morning - the lowest recording this century - though many household thermometers suggested it was even cooler. Unoffi cially, all agreed it was “bloody cold”. Picture: James Trevellyan

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RED HILL WARD SHIRE BY-ELECTION23 AUGUST 2014

The forgotten ward?Election day 23 August 2014 will be a new watershed for Red Hill Ward.

Is Council doing all it can to promote the tourism and economic development potential of the Ward’s 100 wineries, restaurants, food producers, businesses and arts groups?

Is Council doing all it can to protect the neighbourhood character of the Ward’s unique villages – Flinders, Red Hill, Balnarring, Somers, Merricks, Shoreham, St Andrews?

Is Council doing all it can to promote environmental and heritage conservation in the Ward?

Is Council listening to Red Hill Ward community and action groups?

If not, why not?

These are central topics I will address within the Ward and at Council if elected.

A FEW meetings ago Council Watch reported the failure of the shire’s sound system during a meeting and the consequent galloping back and forth with a hand microphone by governance manager Tony Beynon between questioner and questioned. He is a fi t man.

It happened again last Monday, around about the time council was dealing with a signifi cant spending item. And, curiously, it again impeded a debate involving Cr Hugh Fraser, this time jousting with staff and councillors David Gibb and Anne Shaw, with useful contributions from mayor Antonella Celi.

More of that agenda item later. CW recom-mends you listen to it, at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au, then search for “audio recordings”. Double-click on 2014 recordings and open part 2 of the 28 July meeting. You will hear how well the microphone system was working that night. You may also hear snippets of the proceedings.

The shire recording system comprises a base station and a wi-fi microphone for each council-lor and shire offi cial, with an extra mike for shire staff and others who sit at the “witness” table in order to present material to council then respond to any councillor questions.

At Monday’s meeting the system performed as required for two hours while local residents debated – largely in a civilised Flinders way – the pros and cons of the plan for a four-metre

bronze abstract sculpture (interpreted by some as representing kelp) to be positioned in the roundabout by the pub.

CW passes no judgement on the sculpture. As art goes, he is broadly but certainly not exclu-sively a traditionalist. To go further than this would invite derision and pity, possibly from the pro-sculpture group.

As to the shire mike system; in CW’s view the shire’s immediate spending decisions should include buying a new system, or ensuring that the existing one works fl awlessly. It has been playing up for years. Now it appears to be, to use a technical term, knackered. It is believed that, after the last failure, CEO Michael Ken-nedy issued dire threats.

What point is there in inviting the public to meetings when the public cannot hear the pro-ceedings? This point is aimed also at councillors who fail to use their mikes even when the mikes are working.

The Flinders sculpture discussion raised the ambient temperature in the hall. One speaker of ancient Roman countenance delivered an oration on democracy worthy of Marcus Tullius Cicero to the Roman Senate. It resulted in foot-stamp-ing and cheering and an admonition from the chair, Cr Bev Colomb.

To and fro the argument went, focusing on the process by which the sculpture had been chosen and how such a prominently placed public work should indeed be chosen; the effect it would have on the township, with valid side arguments on safety and where else the piece could be positioned.

Prominent in the discussion: should not the Flinders Community Association have held a competition for a piece of art to be displayed in the roundabout? Should it now do so?

Cr Colomb reiterated that no decision was be-ing made at the meeting: the community’s sub-missions had been made “to inform us”. Council

By David HarrisonCommunity meeting, Flinders Civic Hall, 28 July, preceded by discussion about the proposed sculpture sought to be placed in the roundabout near Flinders Hotel. The usual nourishing repast from 6 to 7, then down to business.

pervade chamberpervade chamberwould, as the landowner, make a decision on 11 August. And, after a decision was made on the planning matter, “there will be news on the next stage, if any”.

Then council resolved that it “receives and notes all submissions made by the community in relation to the proposed Flinders sculpture and that a further report be provided to council on this matter on the 11th of August”.

End of meeting. Cr Colomb invited all present to stay for dinner then remain for the council meeting. The ambient temperature of the hall subsided somewhat as many of the sculpture “fors” and “againsts” headed off for a home-cooked meal, or possibly the pub.

They missed the interesting after-dinner debate mentioned above, involving council-lors Fraser, Gibb, Shaw and Celi, at the core of which was the spending of rates money.

CW will now endeavour to distil the issue to its core element: who should decide how to spend this money.

Keen followers of local, state and federal politics will recall that councillors’ discretionary funds are to be abolished by state Parliament. These amounted to $10,000 annually or $40,000 a councillor over a four-year term in this shire.

A new structure is needed for allocating this money and other grants money emanating from the shire. The structure will specifi cally prevent councillors from disbursing money as they did previously via a discretionary fund. It will ensure that “public funds … should only be [disbursed] by council resolution or in accord-ance with appropriate delegation procedures”.

And there’s the rub, ratepayers – the phrase “... or in accordance with appropriate delega-tion procedures”. In other words, decisions on how to spend your money could be made under delegation by shire staff.

The proposal put to council appears to use the word “council” to mean both “council staff”

and “councillors”. And therefore, it denotes both money authorised by “council resolution” and money spent by council staff acting under delegation.

CW could fi nd no reference in the staff pro-posal about who could spend what. That was a worry to some councillors (notably Cr Lynn Bowden) and to some in the gallery.

Phrases such as “council may take into ac-count...” and “to be determined by council” appear in the offi cer’s report.

Council staff have many powers delegated to them, including spending money. Rigorously overseen checks and balances are required to oversee such staff-authorised spending, for the protection of staff as much as to ensure money is spent as intended.

But this spending proposal is different. It deals with what was councillor money.

First point: councillors – who previously applied at open council meetings for approval to spend from their discretionary fund – must be kept informed of such spending at the time the funds are applied for, not after staff have approved spending.

Second point: the new system must ensure that spending is evenly distributed among wards, as it was when councillors controlled it. CW regards this as a given, but it was not mentioned at Monday’s council meeting. CW respectfully opines that the document was not as tightly phrased as it could have been.

Third point: the public is entitled to see what is being spent, by whom, on whom and in which ward.

These measures will help maintain council-lor supervision of spending, as is the right and responsibility of our elected representatives. Kings and parliaments have fought for centuries over divine right versus democratic right. It is important that parliaments, even local govern-ment ones, do not yield their rights.

RYE Historical Society has received $5000 from the federal government for a project to recognise the cente-nary of Anzac Day next year.

In a joint project with the RSL, it will publish a book of local men who enlisted in the Great War, and produce a bronze plaque with their names, service numbers and bat-talion, to be placed in a prominent position in the town.

This will complement the state government’s Anzac Centenary – Victoria’s Journey of Remembrance to highlight the 100th anniversary of the confl ict.

The society says those who were born, went to school or lived in Rye before enlisting would be remem-bered in the book which, so far, has not be given a name. So far, 25 men have been identifi ed.

Secretary Pauline Powell is co-ordinating the project, with Linda Berndt doing the research and Danielle Burns writing the stories. Together they are editing and setting out the pages.

“In some cases, families have been contacted who themselves have no connection with the peninsula, but who are pleased that their fam-ily member is to be included,” Ms Powell said.

“John Hazledine and I are working with the RSL to make this a memora-ble project for our town.”

The society is active in many projects. The Postcards of the Penin-sula exhibition at Nepean Historical Society in Sorrento on weekends until 17 August includes a ‘suitcase’ from Rye containing examples of articles used by holiday makers over

Going into print to honour those who went to warGoing into print to honour those who went to war

the years enjoying the foreshore. A highlight of the exhibition is a

45 minute narrated fi lm depicting the various titles of each of the eight historical societies which contributed to this project.

Linda Berndt’s White Pearls and Jersey Gold - a history of the Jennings family - was launched at the cente-nary celebrations to mark the family’s arrival in Rye in 1914. Copies are available from the society for $30.

Another project is establishing and preserving the indigenous plants of

the town as well as the front and back beaches. About 25 of these are on sale at meetings and at Danny Jennings Garden Supplies on Melbourne Rd. They are propagated by a resident who is passionate about saving these plants.

A trivia afternoon with a history fl avour will be held on Sunday 24 Au-gust in Stoney’s Room, Rye RSL from 1.30–4.30pm. Entry of $10 includes afternoon tea and prizes. Form a team (fi ve maximum) or just roll up and join a table.

The Old Schoolhouse at Rye

Primary has a small museum open on Sundays from 2-4 pm. Come along and see Rye’s history displayed with texts and photos, and articles in display cases.

Meetings are on the fourth Monday of the month at 8pm in the Rye Prima-ry School library. The social evenings have supper afterwards. Come along and meet new people with a similar interest. New members welcome.

The annual meeting on 25 August will be followed by the popular ‘bring a treasure’ night.

On the board: The Rye History Board at the Rye Post Offi ce shows, from left, society president Prue Found, postal manager Vicki with staff Andrea and Iris. The sign has been well received by residents and visitors alike.

POET Geoff Page will read his work to help raise funds for St George’s Anglican Church, Red Hill – the last small country church on the Morning-ton Peninsula.

Money raised will go towards reno-vations to provide a comfortable and welcoming community meeting place.

The readings will be held at Elgee Park winery with an afternoon tea and wine tasting accompanied by cheese and nibbles.

Page is described as a signifi cant voice in Australian poetry, and fea-tures in many anthologies.

He has published 19 collections and four verse novels, and won numer-ous poetry awards, including the Queensland Premier’s Prize, Patrick White Literary Award, and Grace Levin Prize.

His major themes are place, coun-try, religion, music, war and death. His poems owe something to the larrikin tradition of Henry Lawson, many with rural settings that narrate yarns.

Other poets on the bill are Janet Limb and Eve McGlashan (who writes under the name of Eve Norton). Both women have been pub-lished in a wide variety of journals on topics ranging from the domestic to the cosmic.

Elgee Park winery is on Melway map 160 J3. Turn from Nepean High-way into Wallaces Rd and drive to the end. The entrance is clearly marked.

Tickets: $40 per person all inclu-sive. Bookings are essential; numbers limited. Bookings will be acknowl-edged by email or telephone and names listed at the venue on the day.

Question expenseQuestion expenseBefore the by- election in the Red Hill Ward, voters should ask themselves does Mornington Peninsula Shire really need a massive swimming complex on the Rosebud foreshore? Or would it be better if the huge amount (about $40 million) that six councillors want to borrow for this folly on the ratepayers’ behalf, be spent on infrastruc-ture items, such as footpaths and drainage, that would benefi t all the shire wards and not just one.

John Cain, McCrae

Sensible choiceSensible choiceOur peninsula community expects whoever is elected in the largest array of candidates for a local council election, in the Red Hill ward, to bring a sensible and conciliatory voice to this non-performing council.

With 17 candidates to choose from, voters in the Red Hill ward have to make a clear choice and elect an experienced community activist, someone with a successful record such as Dr Mark Fancett, Tim Woods or Leigh Eustace. These people have the runs on the board.

Ian Morrison, convenor Mt ElizaCommunity Alliance

SPA is awaitedSPA is awaitedI refer to the fi nal paragraph of Ian Bennett's let-ter (‘Embarrassing?’, The News 29/7/14): "rather than wasting his (Cr David Gibb’s) time and our money on SPA that not many Rosebud residents want and even less will actually use". Is this his opinion or a researched comment?

If he really wants an overview of SPA, may I respectively suggest he commence his inquir-ies at least at Dromana and continue through to Sorrento, because the SP in SPA means Southern Peninsula not just Rosebud.

Apart from ratepayers who wish to maintain a level of fi tness and wellbeing by way of swim-ming (the splash/dash brigade) think about those who could and will use the facility: primary schools for learn to swim programs, secondary schools for water competitions, the fi tness exten-

sion plans for sport clubs (consult Community Information pages 78-94 not all relevant, it is a start).

Then take into account those ratepayers who need hydrotherapy - not only the ageing popula-tion to keep fi t, but those pre and post-operative and accident recovery patients (all age groups) who benefi t by water exercises.

Speak to those, hands on experts (particularly in Rosebud) the physio and health professionals whose experience will tell him as to the need/benefi t of ongoing water therapy

After he has done that, he should relax and read the council agenda of 9 December 2013, particularly pages 25-28 and the conclusion on page 41. He may be enlightened as to the need for SPA.

An invigorating splash/dash in an indoor pool does wonders for the mind and body and even a gentle paddle can be therapeutic.

We who have waited so long for this complex to become a reality may have to book in for an appointed time, as the usage could be more than even he expects.

Report wrongReport wrongA report by Dr Hermione Parsons titled Build it – but will they come? contains many inaccura-cies (‘Call for port rethink’, The News, 22/7/14).

The report is based on the false belief that larger ships will never come to Victoria and that catering for them is a waste of time.

Since containerised shipping started, ships right around the world have steadily increased in size. To suddenly assume that this growth will stop immediately – and it would need to be immediately as Port Phillip cannot take ships any bigger than what currently comes here – is completely ignorant, and could have disastrous economic consequences for our state, as building a port in the wrong place is not a correction that can be made overnight.

We have to remember that developing a new container port will take many years, with studies, approvals and construction all taking time. The Napthine government is planning for the future

of trade in Victoria in order to keep our economy growing.

The Victorian government has been assess-ing options to cater for additional port capacity once the Port of Melbourne cannot be further expanded. This work has occurred under succes-sive governments and has proved that Hastings is the only viable option.

You only have to look at the change that has taken place in trade, containerisation and ship-ping around the world over the past 30 years. To stick one’s head in the sand and mount argu-ments based the false belief that larger ships will not come here will have huge implications on Victoria’s economic prospects.

This is dangerous and economically reckless.Sydney has already increased its channel depth

to cater for larger vessels, and Brisbane has plans underway to do the same.

These private ports have invested in increasing their capacity to handle larger ships, and Victoria must or it will be left behind.

Sir Henry Bolte zoned land in Hastings for port use back in the 60s.

This was the sort of visionary thinking that has helped Victoria develop the strong economic position we currently have.

This is the type of thinking we need to have now. We have an opportunity and a responsibil-ity to plan for the future and to ensure the contin-ued prosperity of our great state.

Developing a container port located at Hast-ings will achieve this. Other port locations will not.

David Hodgett, Minister for Ports

Effects assessedEffects assessedThe letter from Anne Russell of French Island (‘Tourism jobs lost’, The News, 29/7/14) expresses concerns over effects that [may be caused by] the container expansion project at Hastings.

In particular, she raises concerns over dredging and the effects on Western Port’s fl ora and fauna.

Ms Russell will be pleased to know that it is for these very reasons that, well before any port development occurs, the Port of Hastings De-velopment Authority is conducting studies and

assessments of Western Port and the potential effects of the development of a container port facility at Hastings.

These assessments will take up to four years and include highly detailed studies into every-thing from possible impacts of dredging, under-water noise, visual pollution, turbidity, salinity, water quality and greenhouse gas and climate change concerns for local fl ora and fauna, both during construction and operational phases of the project.

This process will also involve ongoing exten-sive community consultation and these views will be included in future decision making on the Port’s future development.

It is worth noting that Hastings has been a working port for more than a century and in that time has handled thousands of bulk carriers en-tering and departing Western Port with crude oil, liquid petroleum gas and unleaded petrol without any signifi cant effects.

The authority recently appointed specialist consultants who will undertake extensive work over the next four years to determine the pre-ferred scope, design, location and timing of the fi rst stage of port expansion including transport connections. An environmental approval referral to the State and Commonwealth Planning Minis-ters also will be conducted.Mike Lean, CEO Port of Hastings Development

Authority

Protection jobProtection jobIt is of great concern to anyone with a passion for the environment, to hear Mr [Hastings MP Greg] Hunt defending the possible destruction of the great barrier reef with purely economic arguments. One would have thought his job was to put the environment fi rst, seeing he is the minister for the environment.

Candidate for Red Hill Ward by-election

DEB McDonell is a force to be reckoned with. The nurse unit manager at Peninsula Health will represent Australia at the 2014 International Triathlon Union world championships in Canada.

McDonell got into triathlons by chance. “One of the day patients had been attending a local boot camp. Her trainer was conducting a charity session with the proceeds going to a cancer charity.”

“A few of us went along to support the cause and I ended up getting hooked. Eventually I wanted more of a challenge and started competing in local triathlons.”

A quiet achiever, McDonell competed in qualifying rounds around the country before being selected for the championships in the 54-59 age group. She will compete in a 750 metre swim, 20 kilometre bike ride and fi ve kilometre run.

“The closer it gets the more nervous I

become,” she said last week.The associate nurse unit manager of the

chemotherapy day unit at Frankston Hospital joined Peninsula Health as a chemotherapy nurse in 1999.

“I was here when the chemotherapy unit opened and have seen it move and grow over the years,” she said.

Working in a number of chemotherapy roles across different health services, McDonell honed her skills to become a fi rst class nurse before returning to Peninsula Health in 2010.

“I love interacting with the patients and helping them. It is a rewarding experience being able to make someone’s treatment a bit brighter when they’re going through such a tough time.”

McDonell leaves for Edmonton in late August and is looking forward to “shouting myself a trip to New York” on the way home.

THE perfect combination of rural charm and town convenience is right here with this superb three-bedroom character home, set on 5000 square metres of private, landscaped grounds. A long, paved driveway leads up to a double garage under the roof line of the home, and from the entry foyer, a separate study –or fourth bedroom –is straight ahead. For the younger family this room would be great as a nursery as the master bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite is in this same wing of the house. The warm and welcoming interior continues with a splendid sunken formal lounge that features a roaring open fi re place. From the adjoining formal dining area you easily step through into the kitchen to what is a very pleasant casual living zone. The kitchen has a distinct timber theme and appliances include a gas cook top, rangehood and dishwasher, with the adjoining casual meals space enjoying a great outlook across the grounds. A second living space has a gas log-effect heater. From here there is access out to the full-length verandah that runs along the rear of the home from which to take in the vista across the sizeable backyard. A lovely big wattle tree provides a great splash of colour amongst the pine and gum trees, and you can even enjoy an outdoor lunch in the shade come summer time. Solid and sturdy, this home dates back about 25 years and has aged well with excellent presentation. Modern buyers may certainly wish to update in places but the great bones necessary to build upon and create a wonderful family home are all here.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

War welcomed with “quiet excitement”War welcomed with “quiet excitement”Compiled by Cameron McCullough

At the last meeting of the Cran-bourne shire council the tender of Messrs Nicholls Bros, £48, for clear-ing on Cranbourne-Frankston Road, 80 chains, was accepted.

***A meeting of members of the

Frankston rifl e club will be held on Monday a night at 8pm in the Mechan-ics’ committee room. A full attendance is requested, as business is important.

***Mr H. Slattery, the well known (ten-

or) of the “ We Four” Quartets Party, who delighted the Frankston audience at the Fire Brigade concert recently, will sing the tenor at Frankston choral concert on August 19th.

***In another column, Cr W. J. Oates

announces that it his intention to again be a candidate for the seat in the shire of Frankston and Hastings, rendered vacant by his resignation through ef-fl uxion of time.

***At St. Paul’s Church, Frankston,

on Sunday next, special intercessions appropriate to the time of war will be offered at both services. The National Anthem and Kiplings “Recessional” will also be sung.

Daily prayers will be said in the church during the war crisis at 8.45 in the morning and 7.45 at night, with special intercessions.

***Major C. W. Campbell of Frankston,

who recently motored throughout parts of Australia, proposes to motor

to Adelaide to see Zephuron run in the Adelaide Grand National Steeplechase this month, and will, we understand, visit many centres of South Australia on the return journey.

***Quiet excitement was manifest

among the members of the choral so-ciety on Monday evening when news was received the war was certain.

The enthusiastic rendition of the Na-tional Anthem and the display of pat-riotism came as a surprise to Mr Earp, the conductor.

***The death occurred at his residence,

High street, Frankston, on Wednesday last, of Mr Henry Triller, who was the only son of the late Henry Triller, con-tractor, South Yarra.

The deceased, who was 72 years of age, was a colonist of 62 years.

He leaves a widow and three daugh-ters to mourn their loss.

***A public meeting will be held in the

Mechanics’ Hall Frankston, on Tues-day evening next, in connection with the Liberal Workers’ campaign, when Messrs N. Nicholls and W. Craven (Liberal Workers’ Institute) will speak on “ What Liberalism offers the Work-er.” Ladies are specially invited.

***Over 100 city representative men

will be present at the banquet to be held in the hall, Frankston, on Satur-day August 15th, and the Essendon football club expects a large follow-ing of their supporters to journey to Frankston in the afternoon to witness

the Peninsula combination meet the wearers of the red and black uniform.

Good crowds should also be present from all the Peninsula towns to check on their respective champions.

***At the Poultry and Kennel Club

Show, held last week at the Exhibition, Master Douglas Picking, of Frankston, was successful in securing three First Prizes, a Third, and Highly Com-mended for his Indian Game Pullets and Bantams.***

There was a fair attendance at the euchre party and dance, held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tues-day evening, in aid of the funds of the Frankston Brass Band.

The gent’s prize was annexed by Mr Jacobs, and Mrs Dalman accounted for the lady’s prize.

The booby prizes fell to Mr A. Bur-ton and Mrs Tait.

After the cards, dancing was in-dulged in, and a thoroughly enjoyable time was spent.

Before proceedings commenced, several selections were rendered by the band outside the hall.

***Messrs Brody and Mason will hold

their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when in addition to the usual supply, they will sell several useful horses on account of Mr G. Shepherd and dairy cows, etc., in the estate of Mr A. J. Maucum.

On the 19th inst they will hold an extensive clearing sale of cattle, horse, household furniture and sundries at Frankston in the assigned estates of

Ellen J. Spears and John Rule.***A wedding of interest to residents of

Somerville was celebrated at St James Church of England, Dandenong, on Wednesday, July 29th, when Mr Albert Hawkin, son of Mr and Mrs H. Hawkin of “Oaklands” Somerville, was married to Miss Annie Maude Pedler, daughter of the late Richard Pedler, and Mrs Pedler of “Kilburnie” Dandenong.

The wedding, though a quiet one, was very pretty, the church being decorated with white roses, ferns, tree lucerne and gum tops by the girl friends of the bride.

The Rev Veal offi ciated, and Miss Hemmings presided at the organ.

Miss Lillian Pedler and Miss Edith Hawkin were the bridesmaids, while Messrs H. and C. Pedler supported the bridegroom.

The bride who was given away by her brother, (Mr Henry Pedler) looked very dainty in charmeuse satin. The square train was caught up with orange blossom and a handsomely embroidered veil was worn in the new cap effect, the same motive being carried out in the bridesmaids caps, which were of tulle trimmed with pleated ribbon horse shoes and ends.

The bridesmaids wore white lace frocks. The shower bouquets of massed blue violets and pale pink carnations deserve special mention. They were the work of Mrs Van Breda and were greatly admired,

The reception was held at the Royal Hotel when the customary good

wishes were expressed and the toasts drank with musical honours.

The mother of the bride wore an elegant toilette of black crepe de chene, draped with ninon.

General regret was expressed that through the ill health of Mrs Hawkin, the parents of the bridegroom were unable to be present.

After the reception the happy pair amid showers of the inevitable coloured confetti, left for Bendigo, where the honeymoon is to be spent.

Mrs Hawkin wore a smart costume of prune silk brocade, with hat of prune velvet, and furs.

On their return they will reside at Mornington.

The presents were both numerous and costly, including several cheques, and a handsome piano from the mother of the bride. The bride groom’s gift to bride was a gold bracelet, and to the bridesmaids turquoise cluster rings.

The popularity of the bride was shown by the handsome cruet presented to her by the choir and Sunday school of which she was a member and teacher.

***TO THE EDITOR. Sir, I would like

to state through, the medium of your paper, that I could not help being as-tonished at the number of shopkeep-ers and business people of Frankston, who were conspicuous by their ab-sence from the Progress meeting on Wednesday evening last. ADVANCE AUSTRALIA.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 August 1914.

Balls up! The demise of ping-pongFOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughTRUTH be told, I was never really interested. For me, it was something to do when stuck on holidays, when all televisions in a fi fty-kilometre radius had malfunctioned. We didn’t have one at home. But at every cara-van park we ever visited – from the dingiest lump of dirt with an adjacent toilet block to the self-proclaimed ‘holiday resorts’ – there was always a ‘Rec’ room and in that Rec room there was always a ping-pong table. As I approached the door, my heart could not help but hope for Pac Man or even a little Dig Dug. Upon pulling the handle, a dingy squat would be revealed, various incomplete board games in a pile that looked as though they had been recently assaulted and a decrepit ping-pong table.

For most people, their opponent is the person standing on the other side of the net. Not for me. When attempting to play ping-pong, I was fi ghting two adversaries – gravity and the game itself. I admit that they both got the better of me. I lacked the patience and the precision to ever get the ball from one side of the net to the other as the rules required. If it landed on the table, it would only ever be by accident and never by design. Like everything, I believed that maximum effort was required and would swing the paddle with a level of force in-tended to launch the ball not so much over the net as in to outer space.

So much in a game of ping-pong turns on the serve. It was a skill I never mastered. At recreation rooms,

there was always some kid who had devoted his entire life to the art of ping-pong; no doubt dropping out of school to spend every waking hour to mastering the art of the back-spin serve. There is nothing quite so hu-miliating as standing at the end of the table and watching as little white balls go zipping past without you so much as moving your bat one inch. The experience is even more humbling

when the person shooting them past your ears is your eight-year-old sister. Then there’s the jog of shame…

The jog of shame occurs when the ball shoots past, rolls along the fl oor and out the door and you have to trot along after it, bringing it back before someone in an EJ Falcon towing a caravan called ‘The Global Conqueror’ runs over it. (That’s the other thing about camping – all the

caravans have names better suited to an armoured artillery vehicle.) I spent more time retrieving ping-pong balls than I ever did playing the game itself. I promised myself that if I ever won a match, I would instantly retire. Now, it seems, it’s too late.

Ping-pong as we know it will shortly be at an end. The celluloid ball – which has long been the championship standard - is due to be replaced by plastic. I may have hated the game, but even I take no delight to see a once-great sport reduced to the ignominy of plastic balls. There are apparently two reasons for this monumental shake up. Firstly, there is something of a worldwide shortage of raw celluloid. The second reason for ruining everything is simple: safety.

On behalf of anyone who has ever copped a ping pong ball square between the eyes, I can only say that they may be round but those little suckers certainly do pack a punch. But, apparently, that’s not the issue. Celluloid is fl ammable. Apparently, there are concerns that the balls might burst into fl ame whilst being transported. Talk about a squandered opportunity. All these years of ping-pong tournaments, and no one ever thought to incorporate a fl aming ball into the game proper? With the added dimension of naked fl ame, ping-pong might have stood a chance to haul it-self out of the sporting fringes and be-come a mainstream sport that people might have actually wanted to watch. Rec rooms at caravans across the country would have been transformed

from future toilet-blocks-in-waiting to fl aming gladiatorial areas. If only.

Being replaced by plastic is, I feel, a fate that awaits us all. But rather than try and reinvent the wheel / ball, I think that powers that be should consider alternatives. For example, why not replace the ping-pong ball altogether? A squash ball is about the right size. That said, a little black ball might be hard to see (Rec room lighting is never that fl ash). Perhaps a medicine ball is the answer. There are no problems with visibility and the chances of it rolling along the fl oor and out the door are, it must be said, remote. Even I would be able to spot a medicine ball as it lumbered over the net, slamming into the table like a spherical elephant drunkenly falling over a fence.

That’s where I went wrong. I see the problem as clearly as a medicine ball. Paddles should only be used when you’re heading to a particular creek in a barbed wire canoe. Not for sport. I should’ve used a tennis racquet and swapped that little white missile for something easier to see. Like a balloon. The mistake I made was in accepting things as they were. I should have been bolder; more will-ing to mix things us, regardless of the consequences. I ought to have written my own rules. And if the kid in the Rec room who’s waiting to trash some blow-in from Tyabb twenty-one to zip has a problem with that, I can always set his ball on fi re.

OSCAR winning director Ron Howard will make a new documentary about the Beatles’ touring years, with the backing of their music label Apple.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are giving their full co-operation to the movie, as are John Lennon and George Harrison’s widows.

The fi lm will tell the band’s story from the Cavern Club through the Ed Sullivan show to Beatlemania.

Howard won the Academy Award for Best Director for the fi lm A Beautiful Mind. He also directed Cinderella Man and Rush.

***ROCK legends Pink Floyd are set to re-lease a new album The Endless River in October, their fi rst for 20 years.

The news came from author, Polly Samson, who is married to the band’s David Gilmour, and has previously writ-ten lyrics for the band.

Their album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ (1973) was a favourite album of mine. The album was a carefully constructed cycle of songs with deep meaning. The band embraced all that technology had to offer, especially synthesizers and saxophone.

The band met as students all studying architecture in London in 1965.

Pink Floyd came from Georgia blues-men Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Syd Barrett formed the band with Roger Waters and Barrett determined the musical direction the band took but when he Barrett left the band in 1968, Roger took over the songwriting and the musical direction.

Dark Side of the Moon became one of the highest selling rock albums of all time. In 1979 they released The Wall, a concept album which was made into a movie by Bob Geldof. www.pinkfl oyd.com

SEIZE the day! That’s what he said. A departing inspirational comment? How about “Have a nice day” or “cheerio”? He bullocked off to seize his frivolous day. I was at the cafe, coffee, reading, MMOB. I drifted back; the late 50’s. The open fi elds of green surrounded by friends, acquaintances, sunfl ow-ers, daffodils and old people. Swings, slides, running and tennis balls, the Merri Creek, tadpoles, the tip. Mucking around. No fi elds now, big trees, apart-ments, surrounding me. Walking is dif-fi cult. Hard to seize the coffee cup let alone the bloody day. Maybe go back-wards; is there an App to go backwards? The brain’s still working, just. See a doc-tor, antibiotics for the back; miracle drug guaranteed to bring on diarrhea. Bloody forest. Snakes everywhere; huntsman, politicians, crooks. Mates, Gary and Jack, Lawrie, Nancy, lovely Dianna, all to lah lah land. A day at a time, an hour, a bloody minute. Seizing be damned. Back to my newspaper.

***PRIME Minister Tony “I don’t believe any thinking Australian would want us to capitulate to moral blackmail” refer-ring to self-harm among women on Christmas Island? Leaving aside the moral blackmail nonsense is he suggest-ing if you disagree you’re not a thinker? I wonder if Putin is a thinking Russian?

***

Before the Global Financial Crisis we were inundated with fi nancial geniuses telling us how to make money: Su-perannuation, term deposits, property, shares. Crash! The culprits scurried un-derground, blamed others, allowing us the benefi t of getting rid of them for a time. They’re back like mushrooms, and suddenly everyone’s an expert again. Perhaps a Club for fi nancial advisers and football experts? Imagine, each evening, after another day of serving up tripe, continuing said tripe amongst themselves.

***I TOOK part in a survey of home own-ers; our thoughts on borrowing from banks whereby we don’t pay them back until we die. Ten of us; coffee, biscuits, $40. Eight of them had fi nancial advi-sors worn as a badge of common sense? The world may well be “waiting for the sunrise” but in fi nancial terms it’s a bridge too far (forever) for most of us. The fi nancial system (Murray enquiry) and the quality of the fi nancial advice is being undermined by confl icted remu-neration structures.

***ARE we being brainwashed? I really don’t know, but I cannot help wonder-ing as to the slant of news reports on the fi ghting (Israeli bombardment, Hamas tunnels) in Gaza. Channel 9 highlight-ed some 15 Israeli soldiers killed and

barely mentioned a total of 350 deaths. SBS later showed fi lm of some 2000 injured on the Palestinian side. Our For-eign Minister speaks high and mighty, rightly, about the MH17 disaster, with-out mention of the Gaza tragedies. Sore thumb?

***NATHAN Buckley’s rat pack a far cry from the talented long serving pack he kicked out. “We didn’t see this com-ing” said Bucks. “It’s got nothing to do with personnel, it’s got a lot to do with how we execute and the way we play. There’s a focus on our forward line, and we could defi nitely score heavier, but it’s not about who, it’s about how we go about it and how we move the ball. We haven’t controlled fi eld position as much because our defence hasn’t been as effective, and we’ve turned the ball over when we shouldn’t” Double dutch, or words of wisdom from master coach Nathan Buckley? Don’t wait to be told mate; you need palmolive gold, now.

***“ONCE upon a time in Punchbowl” and the Cronulla beach riots (SBS) wit-nessed many Australians putting their stupidity literally on show for the cam-eras, inspired to some extent by the likes of Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt and others. John Howard said “I do not accept that there is underlying racism in this coun-try” surely tongue in cheek. The major-

ity of Australians are indeed rascist, as evidenced by both political parties poli-cies on boat people. Again I ask “Who discovered the boat?”

***SAYS our man Greg Hunt “we were voted in with a clear mandate to repeal the carbon tax” or was it because the ma-jority decided they’d had enough of the Labor party? What is it with this “man-date” word, used in a sense of self-right-eousness for the boats and the carbon tax yet conveniently ignored for pension cuts, health, education and other shifties; in fact no mandates? One wonders what transpires at their meetings to think we would fall for this word as and when it suits them, until one reads the daily baa baa letters in that morning newspaper. Loved the carbon tax bit where they said it would be good for small busi-ness. Sadly most small business owners have been falling for this con all my life. Surely a sense of importance but miss-ing the small print? National interest be blowed. Live and let live?***LEAVE my mate Woody Allen alone. He married his step-daughter; big deal. What’s that got to do with whether or not you go see his fi lms? If we apply this rule we would never see another fi lm. If we were really honest with ourselves (highly unlikely) we would banish all mirrors from our home. Old sins cast

PerformanceNEXT month Shock Entertainment will release Thick as a Brick – Live in Ice-land by Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson on 2CD, DVD and Blu-ray.

This is the fi rst release for the com-bined Thick as a Brick and Thick as a Brick 2 and it offers a superb presenta-tion of the complete presentation of the complete story of Gerald Bostock.

Thick as a Brick was originally re-leased in 1972, when it made No.1 on the ARIA Chart. Jethro Tull was the brainchild of Ian Anderson, who played fl ute and sang while standing on one leg. When they formed in 1967 they had the folk sound, some jazz and the blues.

Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music gaining 11 gold and fi ve platinum albums. Many Austral-ian rock music critics rarely took them seriously, and they were off the cutting edge. Not one record store in the coun-try would be without copies of ‘Thick as a Brick’

Jethro Tull was Ian Anderson (vo-cals, fl ute), Mick Abrahams (guitar), Glen Cornick (Bass) and Clive Bunker (Drums).

The album still holds up more than 30 years later as does ‘Living in the Past’ and ‘A Passion Play’. Ian Anderson’s profi le has rarely been higher follow-ing the very successful release of his new solo album Home Erraticus this year and Anderson will tour Australia and appear in Melbourne, December 15.

***ENTRY is now open for the 36th Toyota Star Maker – Australia’s longest running search for a new country music star. Star Maker has been a crucial launching pad for some of Australia’s biggest coun-try music stars including Keith Urban, Lee Kernagahn, James Blundell, Beccy Cole, Lyn Bowtell and Kylie Sackley.

In 2015 competition will be as tough as ever following the outstanding com-mitment from recent winners Luke Austen, Luke Dickens, Bob Corbett and Kaylee Bell who have all grabbed the prize and haven’t stopped running.

Barry Harley said “Star Maker is Australia’s most prestigious search for a country music star which boasts win-ners with international roots and appeal.

Keith Urban (1990), Craig Robertson (1989) and Kaylee Bell (2013) were born in New Zealand and this year’s winner Jared Porter was born and lived in the USA for the fi rst 11 years of his life. At 14 years he relocated with his mother to Orange, NSW where he was educated”

MY son isn’t a huge fan of arts and crafts. So when I spotted this activity at play-trains.com, I thought what a great way to get him excited about painting. All you need is paint, paper or a canvas, and metal trains (we used Thomas die cast models).

While he lined his trains, I poured blobs of paint all over the canvas (the smaller blobs work better when you can control the paint!) There was absolutely no thought to this, other than to random-ly place different colours in the space.

He then drove his trains all over the canvas. I loved listening to the adventure he was describing the trains were on.

As the colours began to all join togeth-er in a brownish mess, we decided this picture was fi nished and found a new piece of paper. I didn’t use new paint blobs as there was still quite a bit on the train wheels. This would be a good time to make some smaller pictures.

Don’t forget that a sink full of warm water and lots of bubbles allows for the clean up to be just as fun as the paint-ing.

After allowing the canvas to dry for many hours (due to the thickness of the pain), we have ended up with a gor-geous painting that is now proudly hang-ing on the wall in my son’s bedroom.

And a previous disinterested painter now requests paper, paint and brushes every day.

Stonecats are clear favouritesStonecats are clear favouritesPENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW sits two games clear at the top of the Peninsula League ladder after winning a dog fi ght with Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday.

The Stonecats are now a clear favourite for the 2014 premiership after knocking over last year’s grand fi nalists Edithvale and Bonbeach in recent times.

In a game that was an arm wrestle all afternoon, the Stonecats came from three points down at three quarter time to take control of the match in the last quarter and get home by seven points, 9.13 (67) to 9.6 (60).

The home side booted 2.5 to 1.1 in the fi nal term, Anthony Barry again dominating while Tony Lester was at his best, especially when it mattered most.

Ricky Morris was back in the side for the Stonecats after a long lay-off while Edithvale-Aspendale fi elded its strongest side for the season.

Eagles coach Troy Shannon said before the game that he was pleased to be getting his best side on the park at the right time of the year.

In saying that, the likes of Tim Mavric, Markham Johnson and Mark Mullins didn’t play for the Eagles on Saturday.

Edithvale-Aspendale has used 38 players through the seniors this season, more than any other side in the competition.

Kevin Lylak and Riley Hodson were again amongst the best for the Stonecats while Brad Ulms was also up and about. Jack Mazurek was YCW’s only multiple goalkicker with two goals and he played an outstanding game.

Michael Kremmer, who has been used as a defender in recent times, was fantastic yet again for the Eagles while Stevey Mannix continued his dominant season. Brad Gilder and Matty Clark also dominated, as did Jeremy Heys.

Chelsea gave Mornington one hell of a fright on Saturday, pushing the visitors right to the fi nal siren.

The Seagulls booted seven of the last 11 goals of the match, going down by just fi ve points, 10.13 (73) to 11.12 (78).

The home side lost the match in the opening half, where they trailed by 25 points at half time.

However, through the likes of Matt Smith, Brad Clark and Fia Tootoo, as well as Robbie Lancaster with four goals and Toddy Gardiner getting a heap of it, the Gulls came storming home.

Fortunately for the Dogs, Warwick Miller was dominant across four quarters and Adam

Symes was fantastic in only his sixth game for the season.

Adrian Speedy booted three goals for the winners, along with Jackson Calder, who now has 32 for the season, four behind leader David Bodley (YCW).

Mt Eliza got some much needed percentage, thumping Karingal to the tune of 81 points, 25.12 (162) to 12.9 (81).

Scott Lockwood booted ten for the Redlegs while Sam Wettenhall and Jordan Moncrief kicked four each. Tim Strickland kicked a couple and dominated the match while John Meesen also controlled things in the ruck.

It was a tough day at the offi ce for stand-in coach Michael Burke.

Hadley Tomamichel booted fi ve goals for the Bulls while Ray Lengyel and Paxton brothers, Aaron and Grant were outstanding.

Karingal President Jeff Walton said the split between former coach Stephen Coates and the club was mutual.

“We spoke to Stephen after the Edithvale game and let him know that we needed a change. He agreed that this was best,” Walton said.

“Burkey is a legend of this club and was happy to take the reins for the remainder of the year. At this stage we’re not sure whether he’ll

throw his hat into the ring for job next season,” Walton said.

Burke was amongst the best for the Bulls yet again on Saturday.

Nathan Hicks and Justin Norton booted three goals each and a further eight players contributed on the scoreboard for Bonbeach in their 16.17 (113) to 5.9 (39) win against Pines.

Jackson Casey and Dylan Jones continued their domination while Mark Tyrell was also at his best for the Sharks.

Jake Prosser and the Hendry brothers, Guy and Beau, were the best of the Pythons.

In the fi nal game, Langwarrin kept its slim fi nals hope alive with a 21.14 (140) to 10.9 (69) demolition of Seaford.

It was clearly the Kangas best four-quarter performance of the season with matt Dimkos booted six goals, Sean Herdman four and Daniel Wehner three.

Beau Muston was also outstanding for the Kangas while Andy Taylor has made the most of his opportunities since returning to the seniors. Skipper Scott Sienkiewicz has been superb all season, as has Jarryd Amalfi .

Luke Smith kicked three goals for the Tigers and Tommy Shaw and Rory Luxton worked tirelessly.

Finals venues questionedBy Toe PuntTHE 2014 Nepean and Peninsula League fi nals venues have been announced.

The Nepean League Grand Final will be played at Hastings this year. The preliminary Final will be played at Somerville while the third venue being used is Rye, which will host the 1st semi fi nal.

The Grand Final will not be played at Frankston Park due to construction works.

However, despite the rebuilding of the Sports Club, the Peninsula League fi nals are still scheduled to take place at Kars St.

Langwarrin has been earmarked as the ground for the Peninsula Grand Final should Frankston Park become unavailable. Pines will also be used for Peninsula League fi nals.

Whilst many don’t have an issue with the Nepean League grand fi nal being played at Hastings, they do believe that it should be at Frankston Park.

Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said if Frankston Park was available for Peninsula Finals, it should be available for the Nepean Grand Final.

“I don’t know what the issue is? If the ground is OK for Peninsula, then why can’t it be used for Nepean?” Blackford said.

“Frankston Park is the home of local footy grand fi nals and it should be played there, especially if it is available.

The league didn’t provide any reasoning or justifi cation to the venue selections.

Hastings has been trying for years to get the fi nals played there, however, not having netball courts has always been the issue. It’s not a problem for them anymore with courts going in last year.

Nepean Netball will be played at the same venues, while Peninsula netball will all be

played at Chelsea, which fl ies in the face of having netball and football at the same location.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntRED HILL overcame a drama-fi lled match against Rye to win by 32 points in the Nepean League match of the round.

The Hillmen lost Jayden Pain with a hamstring injury and Jake Mold with a knee in the opening term of the clash and played out the remainder of the game without rotations on the bench.

Smart forward Sean Holmes also played the match with a wrist injury while Nick Bateman was knocked out in the second quarter but was forced to keep playing.

The drama didn’t stop with Red Hill, however, who went on to win 10.13 (73) to 5.11 (41).

Rye lost Matty Sibberas (back spasms) and Sam Smith (calf) in the warm-up and then Andrew Dunn went off with a knee injury in the fi rst quarter.

Fortunately for the Demons, they were able to replace Sibberas and Smith before the fi rst bounce. Jarryd Kirkwood played in the reserves and then played seniors, while Brock Rawlinson, who’s coming back from a groin injury, was forced to borrow boots and gear from a teammate so that he could come into the side.

The Demons also lost Aaron Findlay for 15 minutes after he was sent off in

the incident that saw Bateman knocked unconscious.

The Hillmen never looked effected by the events that unfolded earlier. They were committed, disciplined, desperate and structured, something that couldn’t be said for Rye.

The win was even more impressive for the Hillmen considering the events of the week.

Coach Tony Blackford called off training on Tuesday night because 15 senior players went down with sickness.

“It might have been a blessing because we ran out the game very well and they looked fresh and up for the contest,” Blackford said.

The Hillmen had some standout performances.

Jimmy McCall was superb in the ruck against Rhett Sutton, Harry Larwill provided enormous grunt and drive from half back and Marcus Dal Lago completely shut-down Ryan Semmel, who had no effect on the game at all.

Michael Dillon was the best player on the ground. Sam Smith was supposed to tag him, however, when he went out of the side, no-one else went near him. Dillon did as he liked and was left to his own devices. You would have thought someone would take responsibility.

Rye is a one way, selfi sh team.When the Demons controlled the

footy, which wasn’t often mind you,

they looked fantastic, streaming forward, working hard to get to the next contest, hitting packs hard and being creative.

When the Hillmen had control of the footy, the Demons lacked desire and an appetite for the ball.

They left their opponents to do what they liked and were completely unaccountable.

Some even failed to give a second effort once they lost a contest. That didn’t go for everyone though. The skipper (Sutton) was heard on a number of occasions barking instructions, especially to those playing on the ball, but his insistence fell on deaf ears.

On paper, Rye looked so much more dangerous than Red Hill. It matters little though when they don’t have a ‘team fi rst’ attitude. There is a group of players that are there for themselves and clearly don’t have any care or respect for those around them.

The likes of Leigh Morse, Matt McIndoe, Ben Cain, Sutton and Ryan Taylor don’t fall into that category – they gave their all.

Red Hill remains in third position, a game clear of Dromana. Rye is still two games clear in fi fth spot.

Dromana overcame three losses in a row, smashing Rosebud to the tune of 47 points.

The damage was done in the fi rst quarter when the Tigers kicked 7.5 to

nothing. At half time, the score was 69 to 15.

The Buds came home in the second half booting 10 goals to eight, however, they were never in the hunt. They went down 12.6 (78) to 18.17 (125).

Anthony Bruhn booted fi ve for the Tigers and Paul Minchington collected his second best on ground in as many weeks with three majors and a dominant performance.

Tom Baker kicked three for the Buds while Sam Krumeich was named the Buds’ best player.

Devon Meadows moved to eighth place on the ladder, leapfrogging Somerville and Frankston Bombers after belting the Bombers 15.15 (105) to 8.1 (49) on Saturday.

Pat Harmes and Alex and Chris Doria dominated the match for the Panthers while Jack Bow booted three goals.

Duncan Proud booted three for the Bombers and was clearly amongst his side’s best, while Mitch Bosward and Sam Drake worked hard.

Adrian Ridout made it 18 goals in three matches after booting eight in Somerville’s 28.17 (185) to 12.6 (78) win over Tyabb.

Ridout has booted bags of six, four and eight in his only three games this season. Jedd Sutton and Rowan Hogenbirk were also dominant

performers on Saturday while David Hirst was also at his best.

Jake Anderson was good again for the Yabbies up front with three goals while Tyson Sparkes and Adrian Clay were outstanding performers yet again.

Sorrento had little problem getting over the line against Pearcedale on Saturday, booting 24.13 (157) to 6.7 (43).

Leigh Poholke was superb again with six goals while Troy Schwarze and Kayle Stringer-Morris had the ball on a string.

Matty Vagg and Pat Heijden were the best of the Dales.

In the fi nal game, Crib Point maintained its position at the top of the Nepean League ladder with a 14.14 (98) to 11.9 (75) win against Hastings.

The Magpies jumped the home side in the opening term, opened up a 19-point quarter time lead and were never headed from that point on.

Kyle Arnott was given an opportunity in the seniors after some good form in the reserves and responded with a seven goal, best on ground performance.

Dean Warry and Brad Arnold were brilliant yet again and Matty Sloper did a job in defence.

Dale Alanis booted four for the Blues and Jake Hewitt kicked three while Peter Mawson and Josh Mulheron worked hard around the ground.
