‘Revenue’ lost to the sea‘Revenue’ lost to the seaBy Keith PlattSELLING recycled water from Mel-bourne Water’s Eastern Treatment Plant near Carrum could raise at least $240 million a year.

Clean Ocean Foundation president Peter Smith says South East Water is failing to adequately market the Class A quality water being poured daily into the sea at Gunnamatta on the Mornington Peninsula.

Mr Smith for years led the battle that last year fi nally saw Melbourne Water lift the quality of water being discharged from the outfall.

But with that battle won, Mr Smith says Clean Ocean is now concerned at the environmental effects of billions of

litres of fresh water going into the sea and the loss of potential revenue.

“Under the current structure, South East Water is the retailer. So it is their responsibility to fi nd customers,” Mr Smith said.

“South East Water has had its head in the sand and is looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Mr Smith said 400 megalitres of Class A water pumped daily through the Gunnamatta outfall could reap $247.7 million a year.

He said the state government needs to pay for new pipes to carry the treat-ed water to where it can be used: “To Gippsland, Werribee, the Yarra River or wherever.”

“The Mornington Peninsula does

not have the demand and probably never will, and from my understand-ing there are currently minimal re-use programs underway.”

Mr Smith said Melbourne Water started pumping Class A water to Gun-namatta on Christmas Day but had purposely avoided publicity because “the upgrade came about by commu-nity pressure and it was not an inno-vation or decision made by the water authorities but by essential services, in effect the Health Department”.

He thinks the government will only react as a result of public embarrass-ment over potential lost revenue and the waste of a valuable resource.

“We don’t believe that South East Water has the determination or will to

propose options to the state govern-ment without a concerted community push. Similar to the Class A upgrade program,” Mr Smith said.

“Going to the beach became a seri-ous community health problem. This is of course why we are not hearing about the upgrade in the way of back-slapping press releases.

“What is forgotten is the polluting of the marine environment by fresh water over many kilometres of our coastline.

“This pollution has not changed since the Class A water upgrade.

“The bull kelp forests continue to be decimated, resident fi sh probably have two heads and three eyes, and the small shellfi sh and micro-organisms will continue to mutate and die.”

On its website, South East Water states that Class A recycled water is “a sustainable water supply that we are delivering to a growing number of new homes in Melbourne’s southeast”.

Customers are listed as including Sandhurst estate near Skye and parts of Lyndhurst, Cranbourne, Pakenham and Offi cer.

It states new infrastructure will “ex-pand the recycled water network even further. In fact, it’s predicted that by 2030 we’ll have approximately 43,000 properties connected to recycled water in our service region”.

By Mike HastA RATEPAYER group has accused Mornington Peninsula Shire of “deli-berately” adopting a budget strategy for 2013-14 “designed to mislead the public”.

The shire proposes a 5.9 per cent lift in the general rate in the dollar. This does not include the 12.5 per cent hike to a major compulsory charge, the mu-nicipal charge.

This gives “the appearance of the rate rise being less than 6 per cent”, the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association says.

Calculations show that increasing the municipal charge by $20 to $180 will bring the rates rise to 7.7 per cent.

In a letter to the shire, the group de-scribes the shire move as “a cunning marketing ploy” intended to mask the real increase in rates. Rates notices re-fer to “rates and charges”, not simply the “rate in the dollar”.

“By stating the rise in this manner, the council knows full well that the

media and community perceive the in-crease in rates is 5.9 per cent,” the as-sociation said.

“We assert that council increased the municipal charge by $20 so it would give the appearance of the rate rise be-ing less than 6 per cent.

“The impact of this ploy is that coun-cil is disadvantaging those in the com-munity who are less able to pay.

“The council is more concerned about its image than its impact on the low socio-economic group in our commu nity.”

The letter contains a table showing how the municipal charge has rock-eted by a whopping 463 per cent since 2000-01, from $32 to the $180 now proposed. It has effectively become a de facto additional rate impost.

The charge is one of the state’s high est. It compares with wealthy Bayside’s $131, zero in Boroondara, $61.67 in Brimbank and Ararat Rural City’s $80. Some councils strive to keep the charge around $30-40.

Closer to home, the City of Casey did not impose a municipal charge in the current year. Kingston is proposing a $100 charge in 2013-14 and Frankston charged $126.30 in the current year.

The ratepayer group’s letter draws attention to a shire statement that “council’s past practices and decisions regarding rating are underpinned by equitable distribution of the rate bur-den across the community according to assessment of property value”.

The association says the statement is simply not true.

“Over the past 10 or so years the shire has shifted more of the rate bur-den to those in the lower socio-eco-nomic group by signifi cantly raising the municipal charge in comparison to the increase in the general rate.

“The table shows how the municipal charge has outrageously increased.”

The association’s letter is a submis-sion to the shire’s strategic plan for 2013-17. It criticises the shire’s ap-proach to the plan: “Based on previous

history, it is our opinion that the shire’s strategic plans provide very little value because they are ignored by council.

“To demonstrate our point, we draw the shire’s attention to the comparison of the actual rate increases that have

occurred to those that have been ar-gued as being necessary in previous strategic plans.

“The actual increase in rates ... ap-proved in subsequent budgets is 30 per cent more than shown in the plans.”

The association says the only years when actual rates match strategic plan increases are when “the strategic plan and budget are produced simultane-ously”.

“The last strategic plan (2009-13) shows the shire has increased its take from ratepayers (from rates and charg-es) by about $40 million more than outlined in the strategic plan.”

The shire’s stated aim is to increase rates by no more each year than infl a-tion plus 2 per cent. It almost always substantially exceeds this fi gure, part-ly because of its addiction to debt – an addiction councillors have recently forced its management to confront.Additional material from David Harrison.

A PETITION calling for replacement of Dromana’s pier and signed by almost 7000 people has been tabled in state parliament.

The petition was created by the Associa-tion for Building Community in Dromana’s Save the Dromana Pier campaign, which started last August soon after it was told by Parks Victoria the 1960 pier had concrete cancer and could be closed within eight years if not repaired.

The tabling of the petition was organised by Nepean MP Martin Dixon but carried out by his Liberal colleague David Morris, the MP for Mornington, as Mr Dixon is a min-ister and cannot table petitions due to parlia-mentary rules.

Save the Dromana Pier committee chair-man Ray Barnard-Brown said the campaign was started after the demolition at short no-tice of the tower on Arthurs Seat last August.

“The tower was pulled down after Parks Victoria said it had concrete cancer and could not be saved,” he said.

“The association decided the same fate could meet the pier, which also has concrete cancer. It is caused by moisture penetrating the concrete and corroding reinforcing steel. Rust produced by the corrosion expands and causes the concrete to split and eventually fall away, allowing the corrosion to accel-erate until the concrete is no longer safe to use.”

Mr Barnard-Brown said the campaign was designed to bring the matter to the attention of the public in and around Dromana.

“Hopefully, it will create a demand by the public that the pier must be replaced imme-diately after it is demolished. This is likely to occur within eight to 10 years, perhaps less.”

He said Parks Victoria was “willing to re-place the pier but funds must be available to do so without delay or the replacement will be deferred and perhaps never carried out”.

“Imagine Dromana without the pier – it cannot be allowed to happen.

“Mr Dixon said the 7000-signature peti-tion was the second or third biggest he could remember.

“The tabling of the petition closes phase 1 of the Save the Dromana Pier committee’s work and it must now endeavour to keep the issue before the public over the coming years until the pier is replaced.”

A pier of some kind has existed at Drom-ana since 1862. It was once the second-lon-gest on Port Phillip at 1200 metres.

It was used by fi shing boats and had a rail line to move timber and other goods onto cargo ships.

It hosted the famous paddlesteamers Golden Crown, Lonsdale, Ozone, Hygeia and Weeroona during the golden age of sea travel on Port Phillip between the 1880s and 1942 when the last steamer, Weeroona, ceased operating. For details of the campaign, contact As-sociation for Building Community in Drom-ana, PO Box 150, Dromana 3936 or email: [email protected]

By Barry IrvingTHE fi rst community bank on the Mornington Peninsula has celebrated its 12th birthday.

The Rye Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank marked the occasion with a free sausage sizzle for staff and customers prepared by Rye Lions Club. Four original staff and board members cut a cake.

The Rye branch opened in 2001 and was followed by Dromana in 2007, the 200th Bendigo Bank branch in Australia. Dromana marks its sixth birthday tomorrow (Friday).

The Rye branch is now the only bank in the town after closure of the Commonwealth and National.

Rye and Dromana have donated more than $4 million to groups, associations, sporting clubs and worthy causes on the peninsula.

The two branches operate under Rye and District Community Financial Services Ltd and will be joined by a third branch in Rosebud mid-October at 1088 Point Nepean Rd, currently under construction.

With banking business on the combined books exceeding $429 million, the two branches have become the fl agship for the Bendigo Bank network of about 300 community bank branches across Australia

Board chairman Shane McCarthy said the Rosebud branch would “greatly enhance the already excellent customer service offered by the existing branches and will give customers another ATM outlet as well a state-of-the-art banking facility”.

By David HarrisonMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire coun cillors have been cautioned not to tell their constituents what they think about using an old Arthurs Seat quarry as a rubbish tip and not to give advice on the contentious proposal.

In a document entitled Proposed Land fi ll Boundary Road Dromana, coun cillors have been told “it is not appropriate for council, councillors or council offi cers to provide advice to any party involved, or interested, in a particular development application or approval process”.

The advice effectively gags council-lors from discussing the tip.

At least one councillor has refused to answer questions from his ward resi-dents about the tip application, which is currently before the state Environ-ment Protection Authority.

Tip proponent Peninsula Waste Man-agement is also seeking approval from the shire.

The shire document states, under the headline “How can council help members of the community oppose the proposed landfi ll?”: “Council cannot fulfi l its statutory duty as a responsible authority if it supports any particular party involved in a development appli-cation process.

“Council, and individual council-lors, must approach the proposal with an open mind. Council could not be considered free of prejudice or bias if it favoured one party over another or it provided assistance to one party it did not offer to all other parties.

“Council cannot make a valid deci-sion under the Planning and Environ-ment Act as responsible authority if it is biased.”

The document states rules “set out in legislation” specify what and how “materials relevant to an application must be made available for viewing by the public”.

“Council once again must comply

with these requirements or the deci-sion-making by council could be chal-lenged by affected parties” – that is, an ill-advised councillor comment could involve the shire in legal action.

The document also warns council-lors about their responsibility to avoid confl icts of interest.

“There are long established rules, and legal precedents, about how coun-cil and individual councillors must con duct themselves when decisions are to be taken.

“Critically it is important that coun-cil, and individual councillors, note and acknowledge when a confl ict of interest exists and to act in accordance with the rules.

“It is also important that those coun-cillors taking part in the decision-mak-ing process do so with an open mind and able to take a decision without prejudice or bias.”

Peninsula Waste Management, a fully owned subsidiary of R E Ross

Trust, which operates Hillview Quar-ries, wants to use its Pioneer quarry as a tip for rubbish from the peninsula as well as other municipalities.

The plan has caused widespread con-cern and is being vigorously opposed on grounds including pollution of groundwater and a creek, odour, bush-fi re risk, traffi c and noise.

LEGISLATION for a referendum to recognise councils and shires in the Constitution passed the federal parliament on Monday.

It will be held in conjunction with the federal election on Saturday 14 September. Voters will be asked to vote yes or no to adding 17 words (in bold below) to the Constitution:

“96. Financial assistance to States and local government bodies

During a period of ten years after the establishment of the Common-wealth and thereafter until the Parlia-ment otherwise provides, the Parlia-ment may grant fi nancial assistance to any State, or to any local govern-ment body formed by a law of a State, on such terms and conditions as the Parliament thinks fi t.”

Federal Local Government Minister Anthony Albanese said federal governments had for more than 40 years “worked in partnership with councils and shires to deliver essential community infrastructure and services”.

“This includes ... local roads, bridges, sports facilities, public libraries, swimming pools and childcare centres,” he said.

“By including councils and shires in our Constitution, we are refl ecting the long-standing support ... communities receive and will continue to receive into the future.”

Mr Albanese said there would be no change to the role of the states in regard to the administration of councils.

MUSIC mentoring program The Line-up is heading to the southern peninsula for a show next month.

The Lineup was created in 2010 by Mt Eliza-based The Little Theatre Company and has been dubbed “an af-fray of young musicians”.

Sally Baillieu of the theatre company said the events “develop and showcase young musicians, and give them a point of entry to move toward a career in the music industry”.

The Lineup: Down South is at 6pm on Sunday 28 July at Baha, 2209 Point Nepean Rd, Rye.

Previous events in Frankston were hosted by James Reyne, former Aus-tralian Crawl singer and now ac-claimed solo artist, and he will front the Rye event.

“James has become the patron and role model for young performers at The Lineup,” Ms Baillieu said.

“The program allows fl edgling art-ists to perform and mix with estab-lished artists learning skills, forming friendships and becoming a part of a nurturing musical network.

“Performers have included Play-write, Wishful, Snowy Belfast, Lea-gues, Jackie Sannia, Kodo Motif, Er-gonomic Poncho, The John Pistols, Sam Saunders and Max Rowe, and Sophie Ricca.”

Maddy Kelly, of indie-folk band Wishful, said The Lineup had devel-oped her confi dence in performing with other musicians as well as expos-ing her to other artists of great talent on the peninsula.

“It’s great to see what others are do-ing musically and how gifted people are. There is so much talent down here that needs to be promoted,” she said.

“The Lineup has given our band con-fi dence and support, and we are now playing gigs in the city and loving it.”

The Lineup: Down South is support-ed by Southern Peninsula Youth Foun-dation and the Bendigo Bank Commu-nity Enterprise Foundation.

Ticket prices will be available on the Baha website www.bahatacos.com.au or call Nathan at Baha on 5985 2077.

For more details about The Lineup, call The Little Theatre Company’s Kaarin Fairfax or Sally Baillieu on 0407 332608 or 0412 723 093 or send an email to: [email protected]

WORK is underway to reduce bushfi re fuel be-side Arthurs Seat Rd in Arthurs Seat State Park, one of the peninsula’s highest fi re risk areas.

Mornington Peninsula Shire crews are remov-ing woody weeds such as boneseed, sweet pit-tosporum and sallow wattle across parts of the northern face of Arthurs Seat, according to a roadside sign.

It states that “Thorough environmental and cultural heritage assessments have been under-

taken prior to works commencing to minimise impacts”.

The work will help to reduce the bushfi re risk “to life and property in the Arthurs Seat area by reducing the combustible fuels available to a bushfi re. It will also reduce woody weeds and their environmental impact”.

The impact on traffi c will be kept to a mini-mum, it says.

Chop, chop: Clearing of fi re fuel on the northern face of Arthurs Seat is underway.

By Jo WinterbottomSTATE government MP David Morris claims federal funding to Mornington Peninsula Shire has decreased and has warned against giving the commonwealth more power over local govern-ment at a referendum in September.

Mr Morris, the Liberal MP for Mornington, said funding for the coming fi nancial year was $166,412 less than received for 2012-13.

Describing the cut as a “major blow for the council when it is fi nalising its annual budget”, Mr Morris said federal funding to Victorian coun-cils had decreased by $13.4 million in 2013-14.

“The hardest hit councils have lost almost half a million dollars in federal funding,” he said.

Mr Morris criticised commonwealth spending on the upcoming referendum on local govern-ment, describing it as a “propaganda campaign”.

On September 14 – federal election day – Aus-tralians will also vote on a referendum to recog-nise local government in the constitution.

The move has the support of the vast majority of federal MPs and has been the subject of ex-tensive lobbying by the Australian Local Govern-ment Association and the Municipal Association of Victoria.

It will enable the federal government to directly fund local government without going through the state government as is presently the case.

The shire has contributed $20,000 to an MAV fi ghting fund in support of the constitutional change.

Mr Morris, who is parliamentary secretary for local government, said the state government was opposed to the constitutional change.

“The system’s worked perfectly well for the last 113 years,” he said.

“At present, councils derive all of their author-ity from state parliament; if we get the federal government mixed in, it just complicates the pic-ture even further for absolutely no benefi t.”

There was potential for Canberra to place oner-ous conditions on local government funding.

But MAV president Bill McArthur hit back, saying the state government’s campaign against the referendum was “truly bizarre”.

“The referendum seeks to formalise what has occurred under both Liberal and Labor federal governments for over a decade,” he said.

“It is about removing the current legal risks that place existing federal money for local roads and community facilities under a cloud of doubt fol-lowing recent High Court decisions.”

He refuted as “scaremongering” the claims that a constitutional change could undermine state powers.

“The wording [of the referendum] has been specifi cally designed by constitutional law ex-perts to ensure local government remains a state responsibility,” he said.

“The claim that money to Victorian councils could also be reduced is a sad reality faced by councils every day. Funding cuts from any gov-ernments – state or federal – can occur at any time. This is unrelated to and regardless of any change to our constitution.”

The referendum has strong bipartisan support in the federal parliament; only two MPs voted against changing the constitution to recognise lo-cal government.

The News sought comment from shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden and CEO Michael Kennedy about what the cuts would mean but they could not be contacted before deadline.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support.From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a signifi cant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible?DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a signifi cant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

By Mike HastMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has added another year of council deci-sions to its new website.

The addition of decisions made in 2009 comes after some councillors including Bev Colomb as well as resi-dents complained they were not able to look up the progress of long-running issues such as important planning de-cisions.

Long-time controversial issues still active that started well before 2009 in-clude Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings, the Southern Peninsula

Aquatic Centre in Rosebud, and Gate-way Park in Mornington.

A recent example was the shire’s decision not to extend the time for the building of a holiday resort at McLears Hill in Dromana.

The issue dates back to 2006 and was before the council again earlier this month.

Another example is the proposal to put a rubbish tip in the old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. Council decisions about the quarry date back to the late 1990s.

The old website had decisions from 1997 when councillors were fi rst elect-

ed to the new amalgamated council.The shire’s communications man-

ager Todd Trimble said “at this stage we will be keeping a rolling, four-year archive of minutes”.

“We have investigated the costs involved in expanding the archive against the number of ‘hits’ for these pages in previous years,” he said.

“There was an extremely low num-ber of hits for minutes [council meet-ing decisions] beyond four years, and the cost involved in expanding the ar-chive could not be justifi ed at this point in time.

“We will continue to look for cost-ef-

fective solutions to expand the archive in the future.”

Residents and groups including Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association also com-plained about the new format of audio recordings.

The old website allowed residents to download audio recordings of council meetings. Meetings have been record-ed since March last year.

When recordings were put on the new website recently, they could not be downloaded and played at a later time.

The shire has changed the system and audio fi les will again be easier to

download. It is expected the new sys-tem for sound fi les will start this week.

The website contains new features such as the peninsula’s weather for the day, forecasts for the week ahead and a “what’s near me” search function that uses Google maps to show services in or near the shire’s 42 towns.

It was planned to add “how-to” vid-eos such as how to lodge a planning permit.

The home page contains links to main sections such as our shire, build-ing and planning, environment and waste, what’s on, services, and leisure and tourism.

Call for netball umpiresCall for netball umpiresNEPEAN Netball Association is seeking people to train as umpires.

Netball on the southern peninsula has grown rapidly since football and netball clubs combined four years ago, association president Kathy Hill said.

“We had one section four years ago and now have three – juniors on Saturday morning at the Truemans Rd courts, a women’s competition on Tuesday nights at Rosebud basketball stadium and a mixed comp on Sunday nights also at the stadium,” she said.

“More people are playing netball but there is now a huge demand for umpires and at the mo-ment demand is greater than supply.

“People who would like to earn some money and keep fi t could consider becoming an umpire.”

The association is holding an introduction to umpiring course at 5.15pm on Wednesday 17 July at its Truemans Rd clubrooms.

For details and to register interest, email [email protected] or call Kathy Hill on 0408 991 478.

FOOD For All’s winter blanket appeal is underway with knitters being asked to make blankets, rugs and comfort-ers for needy families as well as older people and the homeless.

Last year more than 200 knitters from Frankston, the Mornington Pe-ninsula and beyond contributed thou-sands of squares to be sewn into blan-kets as well as scarves, beanies, mit-tens and baby clothes.

More than 150 blankets were distrib-uted by Food For All through St Vin-cent de Paul Conferences Morning ton Peninsula.

The project is again being supported by Carrum Downs Community Bank.

“We are delighted to be doing this again,” bank board chairman Greg Sugars said.

“Not only are we bringing knit-ters together on a valuable project, linking Bendigo Bank’s peninsula branches, which act as collection and distribution centres for wool and fi n-ished work, but also we are providing warmth at a diffi cult time for people in need,” Mr Sugars said.

The branch will sponsor knitters with $6000 worth of wool from Ben-digo Woollen Mills.

Since 1991, Southern Peninsula Food For All has provided food par-cels, Christmas hampers and blankets for people in need.

Food For All chairman Ken North-wood said blankets were distributed during home visits.

“St Vincent de Paul can’t keep up with the demand for beanies and scarves, so they are welcome too,” Mr Northwood said.

“We are delighted to be working again with community bank branch-es.”

Mr Sugars said it was hoped to match or better last year’s total of 151 blankets.

PENINSULA Support Services carer support program has moved from Mornington to Rosebud.

The program, which provides sup-port for carers and families of people with mentally illness, was relocated last week in response to higher de-mand in the Rosebud area.

The service had been in Morning-ton for nearly three years and assisted more than 160 carers.

Individuals and families caring for people with a diagnosed mental illness are given one-on-one support and res-pite care options.

However, carer support and family engagement worker David Goschnick said many carers on the peninsula were not aware of the help available.

A high proportion of “hidden” car-ers had been identifi ed in the Rosebud area, he said, prompting the relocation of the service’s entire carer support team to new premises on Point Ne-pean Rd.

The program is funded by the fed-eral Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

Mr Goschnick said it “recognises the important and diffi cult, but often overlooked, role carers have in pro-viding support every day to friends or family members with a mental illness.

“Our program is unique in providing carer support workers who are linked directly to the Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation Support Service com-ponent of the mental health system.

“In acknowledging and promoting the carer’s role within the ‘recovery’ process, workers assist in linking both the carer and the person they care for to appropriate services and supports.

“This enables carers and families to better cope with their role, improve their relationship with the person they support and balance their own life.”

THE coffee table book Wine Food and Farmgate will be integrated into a so-cial media and online format to help promote the peninsula’s premium food and wine offerings in a new marketing campaign unveiled last week.

The state government has provided $27,500 to fund the initiative and to fi nance research into the needs and expectations of holiday home owners in the region.

Both projects will be run by Morn-ington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board together with Tourism Victoria.

Peninsula MPs Neale Burgess, Da-vid Morris and Martin Dixon an-nounced the funding.

The project would utilise the lat-est marketing innovations to “help visitors to the region to discover the stunning diversity of our physical landscape, the quality of our food and wine, and the high standard of accom-modation”, they said.

“Consumer behaviour in accessing tourism information and promotion has changed dramatically and the in-creased use of digital media has meant there is a need to incorporate this ac-tivity into marketing campaigns.”

Tourism Minister Louise Asher said the latest technologies would help en-hance tourism.

MORE than 50 passengers have signed up to the free PenBus service for students, jobseekers, ap-prentices and trainees.

The service is a partnership between Morning-ton Peninsula Shire and Ventura Bus Lines paid for by the federal government and launched at Chisholm Institute’s Rosebud campus.

The two PenBus routes run from Rosebud to Monash University at Clayton via Frankston sta-tion and Hastings to Chisholm Institute at Rose-bud through Mornington.

“Many of our young people want to work and study but the previous lack of transport options made this diffi cult,” mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said.

“PenBus offers free, convenient transport for people in the peninsula and Frankston areas who need to travel to further their studies.

“The free service is also available for job seek-ers and workers travelling to interviews.”

Schedules are timed for morning passengers to

arrive at their destination for standard business and campus opening hours, and give passengers working or studying outside the region a connec-tion to Hastings and Frankston railway stations.

“With the buses providing sustainable transport to both our peninsula and Clayton campuses, stu-dents from the Mornington Peninsula will have a tremendous choice of courses and opportunities at Monash,” Monash University’s environmental sustainability director Paul Barton said.

Peninsula and Frankston region residents can apply for free access to PenBus services if they are a full-time, or part-time tertiary student, for-mally enrolled in study, a registered apprentice or trainee or a jobseeker.

All PenBus services have free wifi and are wheelchair accessible.

By Jo WinterbottomPOLICE had a busy morning in Moorooduc last week, with dozens of motorist nabbed for a vari-ety of fi nes and misdemeanors.

Uniformed and highway patrol police joined forces with the sheriff’s offi ce to surprise motor-ists going about their business on a cold and clear winter’s morning. The ace up their sleeve was a police automatic number plate recognition vehi-cle, which is made available to Rosebud, Hast-ings and Mornington police once a month each.

Highway patrol boss Sergeant David Collins said he decided to deploy the crew last Thursday and ended up having “quite a productive day”.

The team set up on Mornington-Tyabb Rd near Moorooduc primary about 9am; by the time they packed up at 1.30pm they had assessed 1721 cars.

Five disqualifi ed or suspended drivers were

discovered, as well as four unregistered cars and four defective vehicles.

Eight people were charged with traffi c offences and 420 people were given random breath tests.

It was a good day for the sheriff too – 52 peo-ple were processed for outstanding warrants and “several thousands” of dollars in fi nes collected.

Sergeant Collins said part of the success of the number plate recognition technology was its abil-ity to link passing cars to the car’s owner and oth-ers who regularly drive it, casting a wider net for fi ne evaders.

It was proving an effective tool for police be-cause the number of offences detected in such operations was slowly declining as people real-ised how diffi cult it was to outsmart police and the sheriff and their number plate recognition vehicle.

For indigenes, cannon fire is tipping pointFor indigenes, cannon fire is tipping pointCHEZ Emu is aghast. That means both of us are, at the same time, aghast, which is exceedingly rare if not unique.

We stuck our heads in the window of Dromana Hall on the Saturday of the recent long weekend – every seat taken, many standing or sitting on the fl oor, a crowd outside – to listen to speakers at a packed protest meeting over the proposed rubbish tip in the old quarry at Dromana.

Emus like tips. Until that Saturday meet ing we supported this one. We and our mates sneak into tips at night and search for tasty tidbits. It is our equiva-lent of fi nger food. Tips are full of it.

But soon we were, as recounted above, aghast. In a serious state of aghastliness, as a matter of fact, at the thought of constant loud explosions at the tip to keep we “ferals” away.

This state was brought on when an anti-tipper mentioned that high-deci-bel “fright guns” would be employed to see off seagulls and other feathered ferals that fl ock to tips.

“Ferals indeed!” stuttered Mrs Emu as we staggered home, as if carrying a heavy burden. “We have been lumped in with seagulls. Seagulls! Flying rats! And cats and foxes. And ibis! How hu-miliating.”

She mused for a moment. “I am carrying a heavy burden of humi lia-tion,” she announced, as if having read Emu’s mind.

But the explosions are a serious threat to the sensitive hearing of emus. We hate sudden loud noises. So, too, do rare and endangered powerful owls. They also terrify koalas, kangaroos and cattle. And we know constant, ear-

splitting kabooms drive people into a frenzy.

When – or should that be “if” – a sound akin to First World War artillery fi re that sent men mad starts up on the escarpment and continues day after remorseless day, decade after de cade, how long before everyone with in ear-shot starts to sharpen their pitchforks?

Emu reckons “earshot” will extend all along the escarpment to suburban Arthurs Seat and Dromana, south to Red Hill, including its school, and north and east across the Kangerong Valley to Safety Beach, Martha Cove and Mt Martha itself.

One or two councillors and possibly a senior shire staff employee or two will fi nd themselves in the line of fi re.

Emu knows of a few in council who could be so directly affected they might have to declare a confl ict of in-terest and abstain from voting on the tip proposal.

Step forward councillors Gibb, Mar-tin and Pittock for starters! Cr Gibb is also chair of the waste management group.

As is her current habit, Mr Emu has gone online for succour and infor-mation.

She has found a relevant document on the shire website* that includes a magical piece of bureaucrat-speak relating to tips – the “Alternative Resource Recovery Treatment facil-

ity (ARRT)” –even though Melbourne doesn’t have one, whatever an ARRT is, with or without an “F” (for facility).

The shire document makes a big deal, for reasons not immediately ob-vious to either Emu, about confl ict of interest.

“Listen to this!” shouts Mrs Emu, reading aloud what her patient spouse is quite able to read silently. “It talks about council making decisions wear-ing different hats. Easy for any two-faced ones, I suppose.”

She reads, also loudly, to her audi-ence of one:

“Critically it is important that coun-cil blah blah note and acknowledge when a confl ict of interest exists blah blah blah. It doesn’t matter whether the con fl ict of interest is a direct or an indirect blah blah.

“It is also important that blah blah councillors blah blah blah make deci-sions with an open mind blah blah able to take a decision without prejudice or bias.”

“Now listen carefully to this next bit,” says the blushing bride, “some mistake, surely?”

She reads on slowly “... and that they have approached the decision having adopted a predetermined position in rela tion to the matter”.

She looks at Emu. “Isn’t adopting a predetermined position exactly what councillors are supposed not to do? Doesn’t that contradict the ‘with an open mind’ and ‘without prejudice or bias’ bits?”

Emu agrees a word is missing, pos-sibly “not” before “having adopt ed”. But he might be wrong; the ways of the

shire are mysterious indeed. The mystery is deepened by the

docu ment’s next headline, “How can council help members of the com-munity oppose the proposed landfi ll?” Then come 170 words that say ef fec-tively: “We can’t help. We have to be open-minded.”

How different from a year or so ago, thinks Emu, when the shire stridently opposed the Victorian Electoral Com-mission’s proposal for multi-member wards!

So much for the now-relied on need to be unbiased, the “... long established rules, and legal precedents, about how council, and individual councillors, must conduct themselves when deci-sions are to be taken”.

A year ago, the shire, from top to bottom, was urging the community by letter – “460 of them,” Mrs Emu in-terposes helpfully – and other means (the shire propaganda sheet Peninsula-Wide) to oppose the VEC.

All shire guns blazed in this blatant display of bias: submissions and ap-pearances before the VEC public hear-ing, material published on the shire website and in other places. It included some material so extreme it could have come from the HQ of that funny little chap who runs North Korea.

Then the shire wrote to the electoral commissioner accusing him of bias.

The shire’s “Ten Tests of Effective Local Government” is a classic of the spin genre. Now the shire is advising, without a blush:

“Council through its offi cers can provide information but it is not ap-propriate for council, councillors or

council offi cers to provide advice to any party involved, or interested, in a particular development application or approval process.”

Emu reads this to mean councillors are effectively being told they are not to have a “bias” about the rubbish tip – or any development or approval – if ratepayers ask their opinion.

This will make for interesting debate when they are called on to decide the matter – 11 abstentions, perhaps?

Emu tries to recall the statement shire CEO Michael Kennedy made about Dr Kennedy, and shire staff, be-ing “Switzerland”.

Mrs Emu knows. “He said ‘...We are professionally indifferent ... we are ‘Switzerland’, meaning that we do not ‘take sides’. And he’s perfectly right. But ‘indifferent’? That’s the wrong word.”

She quotes from her dictionary: “Indif ferent – an indifferent perfor-mance: mediocre, ordinary, average, mid dling, middle-of-the-road, unin-spir ed, undistinguished ...”

“But is that what the CEO meant? Surely he meant ‘Objective, disinter-ested, impartial, dispassionate, even-handed and open-minded?’ That’s it! ‘Open-minded’, as the shire says coun-cillors must be about the tip – if they haven’t got a confl ict of interest.”

But Emu is not listening. He can’t get the thought of the boom, boom, boom of the fright guns out of his head. As bad, or even worse, than his bride at her most forceful fortissimo. * Search www.mornpen.vic.gov.au for “Proposed Landfi ll at Boundary Road, Dromana”.

Rapture

Vigour

SOME people jump from a plane or go up in a balloon to mark their 70th birthday but Fran Henke has published her fi rst novel, based on a true story of love and survival in the early days of Victoria.

The Hastings author’s book – The Other Side of the Wind: A Story of Survival – will be launched later this month by Dr Mary Ann Ghaffurian, daughter of Lucy Purcell who more than 20 years ago told Mrs Henke about the arrival of her ancestors in Geelong.

Author of 13 non-fi ction books, Mrs Henke, a polio survivor, always want-ed to write fi ction but journalism and other tasks intervened.

A career in print, radio and publish-ing saw her working in London, Syd-ney, Melbourne and on local newspa-pers including the former Hastings-based Independent News Group.

Mrs Henke was a contributor to The News until last year, writing a column called “Conversations with Fran Henke”, interviews with Western Port identities.

She spent almost four years as a member of the Commonwealth Film Censorship Board and has written books on gardening, leading to col-umns on gardens for magazines and newspapers.

As well as working as a media ad-viser for state and federal MPs, Mrs Henke’s work in raising awareness of

the needs of polio survivors has seen her win community service awards. She is chair of the Polio Reference Group in Victoria.

The Geelong pioneers’ story she heard in 1992 caught her imagination. Extensive research brought the story to life and led her to write the novel.

“Mrs Purcell told me her ancestors came out to Australia on a sailing ship, landing at Point Henry near Geelong,” Mrs Henke said.

“There was no wharf in those days so boxes and bags were thrown onto the beach. The couple found one was missing, so the husband when back to the ship to fi nd it, but the wind changed and the ship – with him on board – took off through The Heads, leaving his wife stranded on the beach. It took him six months to get back to Australia.”

Her novel is set in 1851 in the new colony of Victoria. Boom town Gee-long had grown on the sheep’s back and had become the main destination for people arriving from many nations to join the gold rush.

Migrants were making new lives – conservative graziers, bureaucrats with brutal pasts in the penal settlements, extroverted individuals determined to make their fortunes, and ordinary folk escaping the “clearances” in Scotland and Ireland, when people were forced off the land by aristocratic landown-ers,” Mrs Henke said.

“Women played a key role in the new colony, throwing off the shackles of old world convention, blazing trails in unexpected directions.

“They were striving to survive, to bring kindness and quality to the male-dominated society with its military rule under pressure from free settlers and free thinkers.”

This is the world to which newly married couple Edward and Catherine Anderson arrive. They become sepa-rated after a wind shift sees Edward left on the vessel they arrived on and Catherine stranded in the new colony.The story answers the questions: how will the fragile artist Edward cope again at sea? How will Catherine man-age in the frontier town without money and her beloved husband?

Fran Henke celebrated her birthday with the launch of her novel on 20 June and 22 June.

The fi rst was in what she called her “home country” of Gippsland by Mir-boo North bookseller Susan Lendon.

The second was at a private function in Mornington on 22 June when the book was launched by Dr Mary Ann Ghaffurian. The Other Side of the Wind: A Story of Survival, by Frances Henke, RRP $25 is available at selected Mornington Peninsula bookshops, Hastings News-agency or from the author, phone 5979 7274 or email fhenke@big pond.net.au

ANALYSIS of droppings from a powerful owl pair and their young in the Hastings area reveals 96 per cent of their diet is ringtail possums.

The story is contained in the June edition of Morn-ington Peninsula Birdlife newsletter.

Josh Gunn, a conservation ranger with Mornington Peninsula Shire, reported that after fi nding the owls “we decided to collect the owl pellets and have them analysed to gain an insight into the owl’s diet”.

“We also thought this would be a good way to see what mammals were present in the reserve.

“The majority of the pellets were collected from under the roost site of the juvenile owl.”

Tests were conducted by renowned Frankston zo-ologist Hans Brunner, one of the world’s foremost experts on mammal hair analysis.

After developing a technique for identifying the hair of mammals, Mr Brunner wrote a landmark book in 1974, The Identifi cation of Mammalian Hair, which is still used today by animal forensic experts around the world.

“The analysis involves teasing the pellets apart to separate the hairs,” Mr Gunn said.

“The diagnostic features of the hairs are then ana-lysed to identify which species the hairs belong to. These features include hair length, hair colour and shape of the cross-section of the hair, which is ob-served through a microscope.

“Of 27 pellets analysed, 96 per cent contained ringtail possum and 9 per cent contained brushtail possum. There were also some feathers and insect remains found.

“After further investigation of the powerful owl diet, I found the results align with their average diet.”

Mr Gunn said arboreal [tree-living] mammals make up more than 90 per cent of the powerful owl’s diet.

“Of this, ringtail possum is the greatest component, consisting of between 65 and 90 per cent.

“The greater glider is next, then sugar glider and brushtail possum respectively.

“In areas where greater gliders are not present, the component of ringtail possum in the diet is at its high-est.

“In urban areas or those that are great ly disturbed, brushtail possum may make up a greater component of the diet, which is most likely to be due to a greater abundance.

“In many cases it is juvenile brushtail possums that are targeted by being plucked from the backs of their parents.”

Mr Gunn said other sources of powerful owl food included young koalas, fl ying foxes, antechinus, rats, rabbits, invertebrates and a wide variety of birds.

“The Hastings powerful owls are thought to have been in the area for at least two years with reports from neighbouring residents seeing them in their backyards.

“Whether they just use this area for breeding or are permanent residents of the reserve is unknown.

“Future monitoring will hopefully give us a better idea of how this area is used by the owls and their breeding success.”

Mr Brunner said some of the pellets contained bones 40mm long, which showed they came from large adult owls.

On Radio Port Phillip’s Environment Show, Danny Vitz of BirdLife Mornington Peninsula said a recent survey revealed there were 16 nesting sites of power-ful owls on the peninsula but just three breeding pairs had been sighted.

Mornington Peninsula fi eld ecologist and mammal expert Mal Legg said powerful owls were listed as vulnerable on the peninsula.

“They mainly live in the hinterland at places like Red Hill and Main Ridge but have been seen as far south as Point Nepean,” he said.

A powerful owl pair could have a range of up to 1000 hectares.

Mr Brunner said he was not surprised at the low number of owls.

“Ringtail possums have died in their thousands in the past three years during heatwaves,” he said.

As we all have health checkups, service our vehicles and go to the dentist sometimes we forget one of our most important assets - our own real estate! You may have been with an agent for some time now and have not had a second opinion on the additional services, increased value and extra rental income that could be achieved on your investment. Consider this:

When was the last time you had a rent review? Do you receive annual market appraisals to see the value of your property? Distribute rent twice weekly? Have a zero tolerance policy on rent arrears? Smaller ratio of properties to managers.

If you struggle to answer these questions it may be time to talk to someone else. Here at Eview our property managers have over 20 years experience. If you would like to discuss your investment to discover the difference our department can make please contact us at Eview Southern Peninsula on 5987 1444

RAY White Real Estate, Australasia’s largest property group, have been naming rights sponsor of the Ray White E J Whitten Legends game for the past 10 years. The game showcases more than 50 recently retired AFL players, who battle it out in a state of origin showdown. This year’s game will be held at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday 10 July.

“In the same way that the legends game has been bringing people together to celebrate some of the great players and memorable moments in AFL, this event brings our network of 87 offi ces and 1000 staff from across Victoria together in the spirit of charity, sport and community,” Ray White’s Kristy Bartlett said.

Now in its 18th year, the E J Whitten Legends game is a unique initiative to raise money for prostate cancer research as well as promote awareness of men’s health. Each year in Australia, more than 3300 men die of prostate cancer and abput 20,000 new cases are diagnosed. About 1 in 9 Australian men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. The E J Whitten Foundation, formed in 1995 to commemorate the legacy of Ted Whitten, aims to increase national awareness of prostate cancer, promote early detection and raise funds for research into the disease.

IT can often be said some visits to a general practitioner may result in a long wait, a brief consultation and a quick visit to the chemist to fi ll out a script.

A consultation with one of the general practitioners who work at Peninsula Holistic General Practice in Rosebud can result in a quite different outcome.

Dr Michelle Woolhouse, who established the practice in 2009, said: “We take a totally holistic approach to our patient’s wellbeing and work with them to develop individual treatment plans based on their whole being, not just the symptoms they present with.

“As well as addressing the cause of their ill health, the plans have a wider aim, which is to optimise each patient’s general health and wellbeing.

“We aim to consider the totality of each person’s life.

“This includes their diet, the environment they live and work in, and the stressors present in their everyday life. Each plan features a combination approach and will include diet, exercise, stress management, medicines, nutrients and counselling. Extra treatments such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and more conventional medicines will be used if necessary. We have had some remarkable results from this approach.

“It seems that a major feature is that each person has to acknowledge their individual responsibility to work with their doctor to facilitate their own healing process.

“Our aim is to educate and empower our patients to play a part

in regaining their own health and vitality.”

As the popularity of this approach has grown and the practice has become busier, two new general practitioners have joined the team.

“Dr Koch is the quintessential general practitioner. She has a warmth about her that is rare and special.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 June 1913.WHILST out driving on Saturday af-ternoon last, a very unfortunate acci-dent befell Mr W. D. Waters and Miss Waters. Miss Waters was driving at a moderate pace, when at the top of Main-street, Mornington, the horse suddenly reared and swerved round, with the result that Mr Waters was thrown violently from the jinker. The horse bolted up the Dromana road with Miss Waters in the trap, which eventually capsised. Miss Waters re-ceived a severe shaking and abrasions and has since been confi ned to her bed. Mr Waters had his shoulder dis-located. Both were attended to by Dr Somers, and we are pleased to state, are progressing favorably.

***AN accident that may easily have been attended with serious results occurred in Frankston on Wednesday. Miss Jol-ly was driving a spirited pony along Bay street, and when turning the cor-ner into Playne street, she lost control of the pony, which narrowly missed running into one of the ornamental trees. Miss Jolly was thrown heavily, but luckily, the ground was soft and, beyond a severe shaking, she suffered no serious injury. The pony continued its mad career and, when captured, the jinker was found to be rather badly damaged, but the pony was not injured.

***THE necessity of establishing a fi re station has for some time been recog-nised by the residents of Carrum. They long ago collected enough money to buy a base reel and other appliances,

but subscriptions then became hard to get, and despairing of being able to let a contract for the work within a reasonable period, it was resolved to convene a working bee of volunteers to put up the station. Operations were commenced by about 30 men at 8am on Saturday, and by dusk a two-roomed building had been erected, one apartment of which is large enough to hold the apparatus, while the other is to be used for meet-ings and offi ce work. The ladies of the township provided refreshments. Only one thing is wanting to complete the premise according to require-ments, and that is a tower to hold an alarm bell. The bell is in hind and the tower will be added shortly.

***DR Sidney Plowman, F.R.C.S., Eng. has been appointed Scientifi c Secre-tary to the Australasian Pharmaceuti-cal Conference.

***A DANCE in aid of the Frankston football club takes placed this (Sat-urday) evening. No pains are being spared to make the function a success, and there should be a good attendance of football supporters.

***AT Healesville recently, trophies were presented to Mr B. Baxter for high-est batting average (66) during the past season, and an umbrella for the highest batting average in the county match. Mr O. Pettit was also presented with a silver cruet for the second best bowling average.

***DEPOSITORS in the State Savings Bank are reminded by advertisement that the Inspector (Mr E. J. Armstrong)

will be in attendance at the Frankston bank on Thursday, 3rd July, and at the Mornington bank Friday, 4th July, for the annual inspection of pass books. It is incumbent upon every depositor to produce his pass-book at this time.

***THE Somerville Fruitgrowers Ladies’ Guild are holding a plain, fancy and poster ball in August, for which prizes are being donated by the following gentlemen for the best dresses in both fancy and poster for ladies and gents: Meesrs Croft Bros., Coop, Keast, Kelly, Wm. Noble, C Grant, Meldrum, and G. Shepherd. The prizes consist of a silver-mounted pipe, silver hand mirror, afternoon tea-set, gents um-brella, etc.

***TWO saloon keepers came into a train where Gipsy Smith, the evangelist, was seated. They monopolised all the conversation. Gipsy was hidden behind a newspaper, but he could not help hearing all that was said. Finally one of the men said: “Mr Smith, we know you, and we want to say that unless you evangelists and ministers stop your knocking at the liquor busi-ness the publicans will have to go to the poor-house.” “All right,” said the evangelist, “when you go in all the rest of the inmates can come out.”

***MR M. Flanagan, of Toolamba, presi-dent of the Tatura football club, has purchased a building allotment in Playne Street, Frankston, and pro-poses to build a summer residence thereon. This makes a total of thirty four blocks recently bought and resold by Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, at an average of £2 6s per foot. The fact, of

thirty-four country traders and leading public men in their respective towns having interests in Frankston must serve as a valuable standing advertise-ment to that town as a seaside resort, and in consequence, there should be many summer visitors in Frankston from distant country towns in the fu-ture to whom previously the advan-tages of our town were unknown.

***CARRUM, Chelsea and Aspendale residents are delighted that Dr J. P. Fogerty has settled in Chelsea, and will practise his profession in their district. In the medical profession, Dr Fogarty has a high reputation, and as a citizen should prove of great worth.The popular doctor, in sporting circles, is quite a champion, having until re-cently been the champion footballer of the University and South Melbourne football clubs. At tennis, rowing and cricket he is also an expert, and is al-ready proving a valuable acquisition to the town.

***MR James Westley, as executor of the late Mr Charles Wright, has for-warded to the undermentioned Chari-ties, as benefi ciaries under the will of deceased, the following amounts: Half yearly instalments - Melbourne Hospital, £61 17s 9d; Alfred Hospi-tal, £45 9s 8d; Homeopathic Hospital, £16 12s 6d; Poor Boxes at Melbourne City Court, South Melbourne Court, Collingwood Court, Fitzroy Court, £5 each; Poor of Mornington, £40. Quarterly Instalments - Melbourne Benevolent Asylum, children’s Hospi-tal, Austin Hospital, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Blind Asylum, £42 each.

***

MR A. Schleebs, who has for the past six years been organist at St Peter’s Church of England, Mornington, wits, on Tuesday evening last, made the re-cipient of a handsome pearl and tour-maline necklet, as a mark of esteem in which she was held by the vestry and members of the choir. Mrs Schleebs has been connected with the choir for sixteen years and is now relinquishing her duties as organist.

***AMONGST the entrants for the Grand National Steeplechase, to be run at Flemington next month, we note the steeplechasers Lord Emms and Ze-phron, horses that are well known locally and have the reputation of be-ing good jumpers. The winner of this race will receive in stake money about £2000. Probably Mr Claude Grice, of Frankston, will ride his own horse, Lord Emms, and the pilot of Zephron will probably be Mr M. J. Farrel, also well known in Frankston.

***A COMMITTEE meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club was held on Thursday evening, when the following members were present: Dr Maxwell (president), Mrs Deane, Mrs Dialman, Miss D. Gregory, Rev G. A. Kitchen, Mr A. G. Young, and the hon. sec. (Miss Brody). A detailed account of last year’s expenditure was tabled by the secretary and approved. It was decided to procure a loud of gravel to put on the clay near the en-trance. The secretary was instructed to procure prices for re-making the old court, and report at a future meeting. It was decided, after a full discus-sion, that the annual ball be held on Wednesday, 17th September.

By Stuart McCulloughTHERE are just two things in this world I can’t stand: intolerance and the left handed. I just know they’re out there, living their left-handed lives, oblivious to the simmering contempt in which I hold them. It fairly sends a chill down my spine to think that I may well pass these mutants on the street without so much as realizing it. Sometimes I secretly suspect that they’re planning to gang up on me, to give me the beating of my life, albeit using the wrong hand.

Before you south-pawed freaks of nature defy the natural order and use that tragically over-developed left hand to compose a stern letter of com-plaint, let me assure you that I suspect my bigotry would melt as surely as sugar in rain if I actually knew a few lefties. Besides, I don’t really hate left-handed people. I just feel a little sorry for them. After all, who wants to go through life unable to use a right-handed can opener? Or regular scis-sors?

I’ll admit that I’ve kept this thought to myself until now and, quite frankly, it feels kind of good to get it off my chest. No doubt my views will come as something of a shock to well-meaning leftoids who were previously oblivious to the bitter resentment that percolates daily beneath my skin.

But I know all too well that there’s nothing so bad as learning that you’re the target of denigration. For years I

have been left to live a life that is free of vilifi cation. I have offended no one. If I have been noticed by others at all, it is only for the purpose of be-ing ignored. Suddenly, all that has now changed and I fi nd, unexpectedly, that I too am a fi gure of hate.

There’s no easy way to put this – I am a man and I own several blue ties.

At the time, I had no inkling of the depth of offence I was causing to oth-ers. Like a blue rag to a bull, I have been unwittingly taunting people in what can only be described as a vulgar display of unbridled machismo.

Forget unruly moustaches or a chest

carpet thick and lustrous enough to create dreadlocks – testosterone these days is a lot less hairy and a good deal more neat casual.

No one was more surprised than I to hear our Prime Minister speak about her loathing of men in blue ties.

Personally, I fi nd it a little under-whelming. As far as a dystopian vi-sion of the future goes, it strikes me as something that still needs a little work. Imagine if George Orwell’s 1984 had presented his vision of a world domi-nated not by Big Brother and members of ‘the Party’ but of men in blue ties?

He’d be almost certainly out of print

by now. But since that speech, I’ve given a lot of thought to this hitherto undeclared hostility and, suddenly, in a blinding fl ash, I came to a realization after which a strange sense of calm descended up me. The penny dropped, rolled into the storm water drain and would never be seen again. ‘This,’ I thought to myself, ‘Explains every-thing.’

For some time now I have felt peo-ple looking at me with contempt. At fi rst, I thought they simply disagreed with my decision to sing along to my I-pod while on public transport. It now occurs to me that they were merely reacting to the instrument of oppres-sion that I was dangling right in front of their faces.

I could, of course, blame others for their intolerance but that would be the easy way out. No sir. The appropriate thing to do here is to hold a mirror up to myself, remove my tie and question my motivations for wearing the cursed thing in the fi rst place. It’s no accident that I wore a blue tie. Rather, it was clearly an act of aggression that cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged.

I should know better. As a kid, I was regarded as being a little different be-cause I took piano lessons. In Tyabb and in the 1970s, this kind of fl amboy-ance was a direct challenge to societal norms. Other kids made their feelings known, sneering and teasing me on a regular basis. I don’t know why they resented me so much. Perhaps they

were jealous or had their own musical ambitions thwarted. Or maybe they were left handed and simply angry at the world at large. Who knows? The point is, it confused me then as surely as it puzzles me still.

I guess that’s how I felt about the whole blue tie fi asco. For an instant, I felt surprised at having (possibly) done the wrong thing, at least accord-ing to somebody else. It was never my intention. The part of me that’s eager to please is more than willing to make the switch to bow ties or even that strange stringy thing so beloved by Texan businessmen.

Chances are, though, that someone would fi nd something else to which they object. Prejudice is a bit like that. It’s petty, illogical and owes every-thing to fear rather than rationality. Enough is enough.

Perhaps we all have our biases; our ingrained prejudices that bubble to the surface when we’re not looking. May-be we can all do a little better.

This week, I will avoid wearing a blue tie. It’s not really about shunning a type of neckwear, more a sign that I am more than willing to back off if you are. Others should try to be a little nicer. Even if we have to shut the inter-net for a couple of weeks, it’s a small price to pay. As for the left handed, try doing things normally this week and see how you like it. www.stuartmccullough.com

A Grain of Salt

By Cliff Ellen

I WAS never big on Lady Julia. I’ve worked with and under females for years; in theatre, racetracks and un-ion committee meetings. Bosses and equals; some good, some not so good, like men. I liked her as Deputy PM; she answered the questions, but I fi g-ured back then she would be a differ-ent kettle of fi sh as numero ono; more of an instinct based on past experienc-es. A dyed in the wool leftwing union-ist; not an enemy, but a hardline op-ponent. I was sad when her lot shoved it up Kevvy, the wowser who cost me a fortune in cigarettes. He didn’t de-serve that, albeit he was into self-love. All up she’s done more good things than messy ones but overall is low on my list of heroes. I’m a Labor voter, or more to the point I’d never vote for the Conservatives. It’s all very messy at the moment, both sides, with the waters further muddied by the media vultures. We wait and watch.

***FROM NSW rugby league skipper Paul Gallen after being suspended for one match for fi ghting: “It’s a man’s game.”

Mark Robinson, Herald Sun foot-ball reporter, repeats this mantra on a weekly basis. So what does it mean

aside from telling us they’re in favour of thuggery? I suspect both would use another ridiculous phrase when it suits them, like “It’s un-Australian”. Maybe there’s an inference as to their misog-ynous thinking? The Australian wom-en’s cricket team plays a tough brand of cricket. One wonders what the boys would say if they went the biff.

***IT’S all a bit weird really. We have our mates (the Yanks) on the attack with Edward Snowden and Julian Assange classed as the epitome of evil while at the same time our American mates are reading this column on my computer. I liked this one, from Adrian Tabor in Point Lonsdale: “My wife sent me a shopping list in an email. I lost it. Will the AFP fi nd it for me, please?”

In fairness I should mention that while Assange supporters hold him up as a banner of truth, they don’t seem to mind that he doesn’t apply his same principles to accessing Chinese or Russian secrets.

***INTERESTING to read of Nathan Buckley’s talk of “non-negotiables” and the leadership group. “It gives the players ownership of their destiny and the way they want to go about their

football and the values they expect to adhere.”

Apparently they have this “leading teams” group overseeing this philoso-phy. I’m wondering how all this will shape up if (say) our captain or one or two others of the leadership group lose form? Human nature is never far away?

***TONY: “A country working and pay-ing taxes from day one.”

Let’s hope this includes everyone, like illegal drug pushers and fi xing those tax avoidance schemes.

Here on our glorious Mornington Peninsula (despite a Third World bus service), a cash economy abounds out of necessity. If the cost of my cappuc-cino increases by 50 cents, bang goes another $200 a year.

As far as I know, Cerberus was named after a mythical, three-head-ed dog guarding the gates to hell. It stands to reason therefore if we re-locate our naval establishment to the tip of Point Nepean we will go a long way toward stopping the boats? Will “Labor’s border protection crisis” as told to us become the “Liberals’ bor-der protection crisis”?

Well, yes, but we can expect our

media to explain it in a nicer way, like “Tony rolled his sleeves up to correct Julia’s mistakes”. Whatever.

***THIRTY-nine Australians have been removed as members of the Order of Australia. Those who interest me are Brian Quinn, Clinton Condon, Frank De Stefano, Dick Pratt, Steve Vizard and Alan Bond, all super-rich men be-fore the event that caused their reputa-tion to be tarnished.

I ask myself why, with all the money (and power) they have as a comfort and part of their everyday lifestyle – something that 99 per cent of us will never have – do they lie and cheat to accumulate even more?

An apartment 270 metres above Melbourne is for sale at $18 million; Eureka Tower. The entire 84th fl oor no less; swisho everything including uninterrupted views extending to Lah-Lah Land.

If they offerred it to me with a rental deal at $100 a week and the proviso that I must live there for fi ve years (health and holidays permitting), I’d tell them to go jump. Those half doz-en disgraced men could have bought something like this, if they didn’t al-ready have it, but no, they settle to

cheat to accumulate more. Fascinat-ing.

***THE anorexic idealisation of women is not my cup of green tea. Betty Gra-ble, even Mae West for me.

When your mother asks, “Do you want a piece of advice?” it’s a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you an-swer yes or no. You’re going to get it.

Passion without commitment is use-less.

“I met an old lady once, almost 100 years old, and she told me, ‘There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. How much do you love me? And who’s in charge?’” (Elizabeth Gilbert).

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyCRIB Point kept its fi nals aspirations alive with a strong, come-from-behind win over Hastings in the battle of Western Port.

The Magpies have experienced an up and down season, dropping their opening three games before winning four on the trot.

Before Saturday’s game against arch-rival Hastings, the Pies had lost their previous two matches.

Without question, Crib Point’s season was on the line.

Despite having as much of the football and probably even more than the Blues at various stages during the match, it couldn’t convert opportunities.

At half-time, the Pies had four more scoring shots but trailed by a point.

At three-quarter time, despite the efforts of Luke Herrington in attack and through the middle, and David Cook playing through the pivot, the Magpies still trailed by seven points.

The last quarter was a cracker, the Pies again inaccurate with 4.9 for the quarter, against Hastings’ 3.3. The Pies almost kicked themselves out of it but eventually got home in a thriller 14.22-106 to 15.11-101.

Luke Herrington was best on the ground with three goals. Sammy Austin and Dean Kairies also booted

three each. Matty Sloper continued his good form and Dave Lawson led from the front.

Colin McVeigh fi nished with four for the Blues, and Tony Mirabella and Glenn Michie kicked three each. Mick Agnello and Josh Mulheron played their best games of the season, and David Hull put in another strong performance.

The Magpies are sixth on the ladder, a game and 17 per cent behind Pearcedale.

Pearcedale maintained its position in the top fi ve when it smashed Devon Meadows by 68 points.

In what was expected to be a close contest, given Pearcedale’s poor form, the visitors completely outclassed their shell-shocked opponents, virtually winning the game in the fi rst quarter by kicking eight goals to zip.

Former Melbourne high-fl yer Russell Robertson was expected to line up for Devon, but his home club wouldn’t clear him.

By half-time, the winner had been decided, the Dales leading 13.7 to 1.5. The single Devon Meadows goal came late in time-on in the second quarter.

Daniel Murray and Matthugh Vagg booted three goals and two goals respectively in the fi rst half, but had little infl uence in the second as the home side pushed numbers behind the ball. Devon’s sole focus was to prevent another 100-point blow-out.

The fi nal score was 16.16-112 to 6.8-48.

Pat Cadd was clearly best on ground with 34 possessions and four goals. Chris Fortnam had 29 touches, and Chris Hensby and Ben Cadd were dominant through the middle of the ground.

Khalid Foggi played his best game for the club at half-forward, providing plenty of run, while the likes of Matty White, Dean Janssen, Travis Sauer and Andrew Douglas also were dominant.

There wasn’t a lot to get excited about for Devon. Callum O’Hare was sensational in the ruck with 25 possessions and more than 10 marks, while Troy Aust kicked four of the team’s six goals.

Frankston Bombers lost its second game on the trot on Saturday, smashed by more than 10 goals by ladder leader and reigning premier Sorrento.

After a tight fi rst quarter, the Sharks kicked away in the second and led by seven goals at half-time.

The margin was still seven goals at three-quarter time before the visitors booted fi ve goals to one in the last to record a comfortable win 17.13-115 to 7.5-47.

Leigh Poholke booted fi ve for the winners and Zac Byrns kicked four, while Trevor Mattison, Cayden Beetham and Leigh Treeby were outstanding yet again.

The Bombers went into the game

with a number of changes, including James Degenhart, Jay Reynolds, Marcus Bate and Brian O’Carroll not playing.

Shane Vandervalk had his fi rst game for the season and performed well.

Somerville came into its Saturday match against Dromana in red hot form, but it mattered little against the most devastating side in the competition.

The Tigers had 12 scoring shots to three in the opening quarter and fi nished with 42 scoring shots to 16.

The fi nal margin was 91 points, 20.22-142 to 7.9-51.

The Tigers had 11 goalkickers. Terry Wheeler, Dan Gormley and Daniel Waddell fi nished with three each, and Stuart Cleeve dominated the contest.

Luke Collie and Ben Sedgewick led the way for the Eagles.

Rosebud once again took the big stick to its opponent, smashing Tyabb by 121 points.

After starting the season playing a defensive style of game, the Buds have kicked big scores in the past couple of weeks, this time booting a massive 26.18-174 to 8.5-53.

Ben Schultz made it 14 goals in two matches with another bag of seven. Perhaps the big fella is starting to get an appetite for goals again after spending a few matches in defence.

Matty Payne kicked fi ve goals and Keegan Downie was superb also with

four goals, while Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft were outstanding.

Ash Waterstone was the chief contributor up front for the visitors with three goals, while Ash Ballinger and Jake Anderson worked tirelessly.

Rye stars Darren Booth and Adam Kirkwood dominated once again for their team on Saturday, together with skipper Rhett Sutton to outclass Red Hill.

During the week, the Demons drew a line in the sand and reprimanded four players, including Sean Cain and Jai Lloyd, for failing to attend a compulsory club function.

The stand from the club made a big difference to the attitude of the group and it got away to a fl yer.

But despite the fl ying start, booting 7.6 to one goal in the opening quarter, the Demons let the opposition back into the contest and led by just 16 points at three-quarter time.

However with Ben Holmes fi nishing with fi ve goals and Andrew Dean three, together with good performances from Ryan Taylor and Ben Winters-Kerr, the Demons were able to kick away in the last and win 14.19-103 to 10.5-65.

Jake Mold booted three goals and was clearly Red Hill’s best player, while Peter Dal Lago and Tommy Carter also worked hard for four quarters.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyMT ELIZA sits clear in outright second place on the Peninsula League ladder after a dominant display against Edithvale-Aspendale last Saturday.

While this was billed as the game of the round, it was the match down the road at Chelsea that had footy people talking.

The Seagulls won their second game of the season, outclassing a struggling Seaford by 17 points.

The Seaford Tigers’ fi nals aspirations are in big trouble after the loss.

In other matches, Bonbeach got its season back on track with a win against Pines, Frankston YCW belted Mornington, and Karingal proved too strong for Langwarrin.

In a season with little separating the top teams, Mt Eliza and Edithvale-Aspendale went toe to toe for outright second position.

For the loser, it was still battle time against all other teams vying for a place in the fi nals.

In the corresponding game earlier in the season, the Redlegs were smashed by Edithvale-Aspendale, losing by more than seven goals.

But the Redlegs’ form in recent times has been superb and many believed Mt Eliza would continue on

its merry way. In the fi rst quarter, the Redlegs got the jump with four goals to one and by half-time the margin was 37 points.

The only break-even quarter for Edi-Asp was the fi nal term, when both sides booted 3.2.

The fi nal score was 16.10-106 to 9.10-64.

Scott Lockwood put on a show yet again with six goals for the Redlegs while Josh Norman was unstoppable again with three.

Daine Taylor and Ben Lean dominated and Tim Strickland was a handful in attack with two goals.

Brent Bowden was the Eagles’ best with three goals and Tim Mannix and Adam Budge worked hard.

Mt Eliza coach Jason Watts said it was a very important win.

“With the competition as close as it is, you have to keep winning and maintain momentum,” Watts said.

“We’ve been playing some really good footy, footy that we believe is good enough to beat any side.

“Edithvale touched us up in round two and it was important we turned the table on them.

“I think we’re still a way off our best footy but we are certainly building towards it,”

Seaford is in eighth position on the ladder, a game and more than 25 per

cent outside the fi ve, after losing to bottom side Chelsea 13.6-84 to 9.13-67.

A betting person would say the Tigers can no longer make the top fi ve.

While there is still plenty of footy to be played, the closeness of the competition dictates that you cannot be this far off the pace.

Its percentage is going to hurt it at the business end.

On Saturday, the injury-ravaged Tigers were not competitive after quarter time.

Tigers’ coach Craig McIndoe said there were more than a half a dozen changes to the side that lost to Langwarrin the week before.

“We all get injuries and it gives opportunity to others in the under-18s and reserves, but it does make things pretty hard,” McIndoe said.

Chelsea has continued to stick at it and its performances are becoming a lot more consistent after a horror start to the year.

Jason Clark kicked three goals for the Seagulls, while Hudson Thomas and Luke Clark also booted three each.

It was a day for the Clarks with Bradley getting best on round.

Teenager Mitch White was Seaford’s best, while skipper Aaron Walton led from the front.

Bonbeach jumped back into the top

fi ve after beating Pines 11.12-78 to 7.13-55.

Ricky Ferraro, Mark Tyrell, Shane McDonald and Paul Rebeschini dominated for the Sharks.

The visitors got away to a good start and opened up a three-goal break at the fi rst change, before extending it to 28 points at half-time. The fi nal margin was 23 points.

Aaron Ludewig, Adam Maling and Shaun Stewart were the best of the Pythons.

Chris Hay returned for Karingal on Saturday against Langwarrin and had an immediate impact with fi ve goals for the Bulls.

After a tight fi rst half where just three points separated the sides at the break, the Bulls kicked away in the third term with fi ve goals to one.

The fi nal margin was 31 points, 13.8-86 to 8.7-55.

The win saw the Bulls go back inside the fi ve, just percentage behind Edi-Asp for a top-three spot.

Aaron Paxton and Sam McGarry were outstanding for the Bulls while Andrew Fowler was good once again.

Langwarrin’s Beau Muston was arguably best on ground and his performance included a towering mark.

Andrew Withers and Shane Urbans were also very good for the Kangas,

who just can’t seem to beat Karingal.Frankston YCW was due to

thrash a side and it did so against Mornington on Saturday, winning 16.17-113 to 6.9-45.

Scott McLeod and Kyle Hutchison booted three goals each for the Stonecats while Riley Santon and Jack Mazurek were major contributors.

Anthony Franchina, Lucas Forato and Michael Bray were the best of the Doggies.
