Since it began three years ago, the support service has assisted up to 340 families with significant accommoda- tion issues, from housing stress, to those at risk of homelessness and the already homeless. “What was once lost is now found and returned to us,” he said. Mr Fraser told the 35th annual meet- ing of the agency that the reappoint- ment of the worker would add to the line-up of programs offered. Funded by the Salvation Army’s Sal- vo Care Eastern, the one-day-a-week position will assist private housing tenants facing eviction, either through falling behind in their rent or other dis- putes with landlords. “Housing stress and accommoda- tion issues have become a major con- cern for the agency over recent years and the return of a housing worker is a positive step toward working on the problem,” Mr Fraser said. “It is far more effective to keep families accommodated in their exist- ing housing, as relocation has a major negative impact on a family’s linkages to the local community.” Funding issues over the past six months had caused the Salvation Army to withdraw the services of its housing officer after four years. However, a five-page letter from Mr Fraser on the importance of retaining the position helped change the Salvos’ mind and it reinstated the position. “Many people in Hastings are on low or fixed incomes and they haven’t been able to keep pace with the costs of eve- ryday living over the past four or five years,” he said. Mr Fraser estimated that 30-40 per cent of private renters were in arrears. “Changes to government programs have bitten into their ability to pay. Many single income families have been forced onto the Newstart allow- ance – rather than single parent pen- sions – which made a poor situation untenable. “Many others have been made redun- dant, inhibiting their ability to pay rent, and putting them in line for eviction. “Hopefully, people can come in before they are made homeless and receive help and advice from various agencies, such as the Tenants’ Union of Victoria.” Western Port Community Support offers a range of emergency relief, personal support and information ser- vices.

THE reinstatement of an outreach housing worker to complement the ser-vices provided by Western Port Com-munity Support will benefi t families in severe accommodation crises, man-ager John Fraser said.
Since it began three years ago, the support service has assisted up to 340 families with signifi cant accommoda-tion issues, from housing stress, to those at risk of homelessness and the already homeless.
“What was once lost is now found and returned to us,” he said.
Mr Fraser told the 35th annual meet-ing of the agency that the reappoint-ment of the worker would add to the line-up of programs offered.
Funded by the Salvation Army’s Sal-vo Care Eastern, the one-day-a-week position will assist private housing tenants facing eviction, either through falling behind in their rent or other dis-putes with landlords.
“Housing stress and accommoda-tion issues have become a major con-cern for the agency over recent years and the return of a housing worker is a positive step toward working on the problem,” Mr Fraser said.
“It is far more effective to keep
families accommodated in their exist-ing housing, as relocation has a major negative impact on a family’s linkages to the local community.”
Funding issues over the past six months had caused the Salvation Army to withdraw the services of its housing offi cer after four years.
However, a fi ve-page letter from Mr Fraser on the importance of retaining the position helped change the Salvos’ mind and it reinstated the position.
“Many people in Hastings are on low or fi xed incomes and they haven’t been able to keep pace with the costs of eve-ryday living over the past four or fi ve years,” he said.
Mr Fraser estimated that 30-40 per cent of private renters were in arrears.
“Changes to government programs have bitten into their ability to pay. Many single income families have been forced onto the Newstart allow-ance – rather than single parent pen-sions – which made a poor situation untenable.

DUANE Annable, above, was named South East Region football coach of the year at the AFCA South East awards dinner last week.
The Crib Point senior coach stood out after taking Crib Point to its fi rst grand fi nal in 13 years with a team of mostly young talent developed through their junior program.
They ultimately lost the decider to Sorrento, however, the plaudits surrounding their season continue to resinate throughout the region.
Although still smarting from the grand fi nal loss, Annable said: “It’s a wonderful honour. It’s obviously good to be recognised for all the hard work and I am privileged to receive it – but I would have preferred a premiership medal.”
Annable said a highlight of the year was watching his young team claw their way back from fi ve goals down in the preliminary fi nal against Rye to
win by a point.“We developed a lot of local talent
on about half the pay scale of most clubs in the fi nals and we are hopeful of hanging onto a few. It’s such an even competition that any team on any given day can win.”
Annable began coaching the senior team this season after being playing coach in 2003 and 2004.
Along with other category winners in the Australian Football Coaches Association awards, Annable has been nominated for the state award, which will be announced at the MCG on 14 November.
Other award winners are youth coach of the year Gavin Taylor (Bal-narring JFC), junior coach of the year Michael Sullivan (Edithvale Aspend-ale JFC), youth girls coach of the year Troy Robinson (Beaconsfi eld JFC) and Auskick coach of the year Patrick Swayne (Moorooduc Auskick).

THE Mornington Peninsula is facing an affordable housing crisis, with in-adequate stocks of public housing and rapidly rising rents pushing more low-income families out of the area or into homelessness, a parliamentary inquiry was told last week.
And the situation is rapidly dete-riorating, with rising unemployment, underemployment and signifi cant cuts to incomes due to federal government welfare cuts and changes to Centre-link qualifi cation requirements further eroding household incomes.
In a submission presented to a Sen-ate inquiry into affordable housing this month, the Tenants Union of Victoria revealed that while the Frankston and peninsula region was seen as one of Melbourne’s most affordable, the vast majority of rental properties were now out of reach of low income families and individuals.
The union said that, with waiting times for public housing now close to 10 years, most low income individuals and fami-lies had no option but to turn to the pri-vate rental market for accommodation.
However, families and individuals had to spend up 78 per cent of their disposable income to pay for privately rented accommodation.
The union, which was among 12 public policy groups to present sub-missions in Melbourne on Tuesday to the federal Senate inquiry, revealed
that while rental prices had been rela-tively stable this year, they remained unaffordable for seven out of eight household types profi led, with students and singles the worst affected.
Mornington Community Informa-tion and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott said the situation was already beyond crisis point, with affordable rentals on the peninsula almost non-existent. “It’s a very tough situation for anyone unfortunate enough to be out of work or receiving a pension, and even for many people with jobs,” she said.
“Finding rental accommodation that could be considered affordable on the peninsula is pretty much impossible, especially in the case of rentals for sin-gle people.”
Unlike Frankston or other more affordable outer-suburban areas of Melbourne where some form of emer-gency accommodation could usually be found, peninsula families and in-dividuals were all too often forced to move out of the area altogether.
“It’s actually far worse on the penin-sula than in Frankston,” Ms Elliott said. “We usually have to send people coming to us for emergency accommodation to Frankston as there’s simply nothing in this area, even rooming houses.
“Just today we had to send a young family from this area to live in a cara-van park in Frankston, and even that was only for the weekend because there was nothing else available. They didn’t even have a car to get there – they were on foot, and with a young child.”
She said the results of families being uprooted from their “home towns” due to the lack of housing options was par-ticularly disruptive.
Tenants Union policy offi cer James Bennett said individuals and fami-lies receiving welfare benefi ts lucky enough to fi nd private rental accom-modation were likely to be experienc-ing “housing stress”, which is defi ned as having to spend more than 30 per cent or disposable income on rent or mortgage payments.
The mean weekly rent for a one-bed-room apartment in the Frankston and peninsula region is now $210. That would consume 78 per cent of the dis-posable income of a single person on Austudy ($269.20 a week), or 67.2 per cent of the income of a single person on Newstart ($312.50).
An older person receiving the aged pension ($468.70) would be left with more than half their disposable income or $258.70 a week to cover weekly ex-penses, but they would be still be liv-ing well below the poverty line.
Ms Elliott said the solution had to come from government support in the public housing sector.
“The private market is simply not geared towards meeting the needs of low-income families and individuals,” she said. “Landlords are often unwill-ing to rent to low-income families, es-pecially when the ratio of their income needed to cover the asking rent is above 50 per cent, and that’s in pretty much every situation these days.”

THE Peninsula Studio Trail artists have prepared a group exhibition and open studio weekend “to please even the fussiest of connoisseurs”.
Organiser Katrina Newman said the art show started on Saturday 20 September at Balnarring’s Bakers Gallery as a lead-in to the open studio weekend 4 and 5 October.
“Peninsula Studio Trail Open Week-ends have become a must see for art lovers who live on or visit theMorn-ington Peninsula,” Ms Newman said.
“You can see into the often very
private domain of the artist in their studio and, while you’re there, make the most of the opportunity to buy direct.”
Ms Newman said the Bakers Gal-lery exhibition could be seen as a preview to what was in store on the studio trail.
The Peninsula Studio Trail was started by artists in 2009 to give peo-ple the opportunity of visiting studios where artists specialised in a range of mediums including ceramics, painting and printmaking, photography and
gold and silversmithing, glass and sculpture.
“Many of the artists are happy to demonstrate the techniques they use that make their art so special over the weekend,” Ms Newman said.
The studios are open 10am-5pm on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October.
Details and a map of the studio trail are at peninsulastudiotrail.org.
Many of the artists also open their studios on a regular basis and times and places are included in the web-site’s calendar of events.

THE spiritual leader of a mosque in Langwarrin has warned his congregation to not overreact to any anti-Islamic intimidation.
Imam Syed Wadood Janud said he wanted to raise “general awareness [for them] to be careful and proceed with caution”.
His message followed a phone call from police at Carrum Downs advising mosque administra-tors to “be alert to any possible backlash” over the shooting of a young Muslim man outside the En-deavour Hills police station.
Police allege Numan Haider was shot dead last Tuesday night after stabbing two police offi cers who had arranged to meet him outside the police station.
Imam Janud, of the Ahmadiyya Centre Mel-bourne, said police wanted members of his con-gregation to be alert to any threats or intimidation against them.
Coincidentally, at about the same time that the shooting and stabbings occurred at Endeavour Hills, the mosque’s press and media co-ordinator Aziz Bhatti was threatened while waiting at traf-fi c lights in Frankston.
Mr Bhatti said a carload of youths pulled up alongside his vehicle at the corner of Davey St and Nepean Highway and then tried to ram him after he turned into the highway.
“They tried to hit my car and started yelling at me,” he said. “I picked up my phone as if calling the police and they sped off.
“I have a beard and I believe it may have pro-voked them. This has never happened to me be-fore.”
Mr Bhatti, 32, and other family members fl ed Pakistan fi ve years ago after his father was kid-napped and killed.
They belong to the minority Ahmadiyya sect which faces widespread persecution within the Muslim world.
Mr Bhatti is one of many thousands of Ah-madiyyans to leave Pakistan since its govern-ment declared their sect non-Muslim.
Imam Janud, who grew up in Adelaide after ar-riving there with his family when he was four, said members of the Ahmadiyya sect believe in peace and harmony and respect for the laws of the country where they live.
The fi rst Ahmadiyyans arrived in Australia about 100 years ago, but the sect had only be-come “more functional and administrative” in the past 35 years.
There are about 5000 Ahmadiyyans in Austral-ia, 1000 in Victoria.
The Langwarrin centre (formally known as Bait-ul-Salam or House of Peace), is the sect’s state headquarters.
Imam Janud said the sect’s concentration on “building bridges” and living in peace and har-mony with the Australian community conformed with true Islamic faith.
Police and imam Police and imam call for calmcall for calmKeith [email protected]
He condemned the atrocities of the Islamic State in the Middle East, saying they did not re-fl ect Muslim beliefs and teachings.
“They are as far away from Islam as a person can be,” Imam Janud said.
He said Islam was being “hijacked by a small minority”.
IS’s clever use of social media and the internet, while shocking Westerners, was successfully re-cruiting young Muslims to join its fi ght against established governments in the Middle East.
“The vast majority of Muslims would condemn and stand against these actions,” he said.
“These people have gone beyond humanity. They look like human beings but their psycho-logical state is beyond repair. It’s anything but Islam.”
Imam Janud said the Ahmadiyya Muslim As-sociation Victoria was in favour of anything the federal government did to counter “home-grown terrorism”.
Mr Bhatti said the sect was a religious commu-nity with no political ambitions or agenda.
Its members support the government “in every fi eld of life” of whichever country they were in.
Al Islam, the “offi cial” website of the Ahmadi-yya Muslim Community, describes the commu-nity as “the leading Islamic organisation to cat-egorically reject terrorism in any form” with its then leader, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, more than a century ago declaring “that an aggressive ‘jihad by the sword’ has no place in Islam”.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s inter-national headquarters are in the United Kingdom and, according to the website, it has built more than 15,000 mosques, more than 500 schools, and more than 30 hospitals and translated the Quran into more than 70 languages.

SIDNEY Aarons stands in a small paddock in Pearcedale, feet apart, swinging a tennis ball tied to a piece of string around his head.
In front of him is a scorched piece of ground littered with springs and nuts and bolts, all that remains of a pile of burnt furniture.
At his feet, keenly watching the swinging ball is Logan, a Belgian shepherd, or malinois. The string is pulled tight and the ball retreats to Aarons’s hand.
Logan immediately turns his at-tention the blackened earth. Eagerly sniffi ng the charcoal and debris, the dog zig zags, fi nally dropping to a crouch, nose pressed against a piece of burnt wood.
Aarons strides into the blackened area, tosses the ball into the dog’s mouth and triumphantly retrieves the piece of charcoal. It’s the same one that retains faint traces of the petrol it was once dipped in to start the fi re.
Logan is an arson dog, trained to sniff out the remains of an accelerant that may have been used to deliber-ately light a fi re.
Aarons assures me that insur-ance companies in the United States pay millions of dollars to equip fi re brigades with dogs that can provide evidence that a fi re was deliberately lit. He says the dogs have proved their worth, saving many millions in insurance payouts.
His interest in training dogs goes back to when he was 10 and attended
Knox Obedience Club with a German short-haired pointer puppy: “We both failed miserably.”
Undeterred, he went to own a suc-cession of dogs while growing up – a boxer that was “as goofy as all box-ers”, rottweilers and another that was “problematic, chewing things, barking and pulling clothes off the line”.
Aarons, then 24, and the dog went to school. The dog to learn how to behave and Aarons, after reading an advertisement in a newsletter, to become a trainer.
He moved into shows (obedience, tracking, trials), liking the social side of things but not the club politics.
“Then, I focussed on becoming a self-employed dog trainer.”
If he was driving down the street and spotted someone being taken for a
walk by their dog, Aarons would pull over, hand them a card while saying “I can fi x that for $60”.
Pretty soon he had a business, which eventually led to being resident dog trainer on the award-winning Channel 31 program Hound TV.
The high profi le that followed the TV show has seen him set up Sidney Aarons Professional Dog Training in Pearcedale, where he boards and trains dogs.
Training Belgian shepherds for police or army work has become a speciality. Seven dogs trained to sniff out arson, drugs and money and “men trailing” went to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
Those for the army trained for “tactical response, fi nd and bite” were shipped out to Afghanistan “but might

now be in Syria”. These “dual pur-pose” dogs can also sniff out bombs and weapons. Aarons says he enjoys the challenge of being asked to train a dog for a particular skill.
He is now negotiating with primary schools to run safety talks, teaching children how to approach a dog.
The Keep Your Kid Safe les-sons will cover dog body language (“if a dog’s lunging on the lead it’s obviously not under the control of its owner”) and what to do if approached by a dog.
“We’ve had a good response [from schools]. The kids most at risk of being attacked by dogs are under 12, making up 80 per cent of those that get bitten. And 90 per cent of those are bitten by the family dog.”
Aarons says children “really take the message home” to parents, citing the success of school anti-smoking campaigns.
“There are some dogs that can’t be trained, but you can teach an old dog new tricks, it’s just harder after they’re about three and a half years.”
Aarons says “socialisation” is the key to training. “Train that puppy by the time it’s 16 weeks and all the hard work is done.
“It will set a dog up for the rest of its life, making it receptive, compliant and malleable.”
He says the dogs he takes in as boarders reach a level of training in two to three weeks that would take their owners “months, if ever”.
The dogs’ owners attend about one hour a week to see what Aaron has achieved and learn his commands.
Aarons says he can quickly assess a dog’s temperament and decide whether it can be trained by raising his voice, clapping or a “correction chain”.
“I estimate I’ve trained 10,000 dogs – they’re relatively easy compared to humans. They are highly compli-cated animals but can be trained to do simple things.”
Aarons says not training a dog “keeps it stupid”.
He estimates less than one per cent of dogs are taken to puppy school.
“So many people buy a dog and stick him in the backyard, which is real drudgery for a dog. They need stimulation.”
On the other hand, Aarons speaks about one customer who loved to walk his dogs but never had them trained to be on the lead.
“By the end of his second dog’s life he needed a shoulder reconstruction; I fi xed the third dog for him.
“When I fi rst started out I wanted to teach dogs as much as possible and it took me a while to learn most people just want to be able to walk their dog, tell it to sit and not chew things.”
It is that sort of training that earns Aarons his “bread and butter”.
Meanwhile, Logan – the dem-onstration dog - provides an outlet for Aarons own desire to tackle the complicated.
Now that Logan has become an arson dog, his next trick is learning to skateboard.
Just the kind of stunt that will draw and hold the attention of primary school children to the Keep Your Kid Safe project.
Sniff test: Arson dog Logan searches for accelerant in the remains of a fi re while dog trainer Sidney Aarons looks on.

JUST when it seems the bottled water market is saturated with products, two former Red Hill residents have come up with a thin bottle to fi t neatly into a carry bag.
In need of money to start produc-tion, they launched a campaign on the crowd funding website Kickstarter, gaining pledges for $122,000 within 12 days, easily exceeding their target of $15,000.
The rectangular Memo Bottle will come in various sizes equivalent to the most used paper sizes, such as A4, A5 and letter.
Designer Jesse Leeworthy and accountant Jonathan Byrt have been working on the Memo Bottle for well over a year and now see the way ahead to begin production.
The friends attended Red Hill Con-solidated School together before Byrt went on to The Peninsula School and Leeworthy Padua College.
They surfed and played for Red Hill sporting clubs - football, basket-ball and cricket – and their parents operate galleries on the peninsula. Byrt’s painter and potter father had the Giddy Bullfrog Gallery while Mi-chael Leeworthy has his own gallery at Red Hill South.
“We found ourselves trying to replicate a bit of this creativity via little stalls at the local craft markets,” Byrt says.
They lived together during their university days and their fi rst few years of work.
"We both have very different skill sets. I'm more of a left brain operator, while Jess is right brain in its purest. We've always worked well together,” Byrt, who is now based in San Diego, California, says.
Their desire to make an alternative water bottle was partly to combat “the single
use-bottle epidemic”.
“Given our attachment to the outdoors and environment, we have always been disgusted
with the overuse of single use plas-tic bottle, and developed a passionate
desire to reduce their usage and their disastrous effect on the
environment,” Byrt said.“Jesse in particular had a big focus
on this topic throughout his university
studies and put a huge amount of time into researching and designing the best reusable alternatives.”
Byrt said it was frustrating not being able to fi t water bottles into carry or laptop bags.
“Somewhere along the line there has been a general consensus to design circular shaped bottles and from this such travel accessories as cup holders
have followed suit.“Sure, there are many positives
with traditional bottles in terms of manufacture and ergonomics, but while considering the impractical commuting aspects of these bottles we decided to fl ip the equation.
“Rather than making a product that fi ts into this category we decided to create something that is easy to transport but still holds the functional aspects of traditional bottles. We are attempting to challenge the funda-mental nature of carrying liquids.
The Memo Bottle will be made from “durable, dishwasher-friendly, BPA-free Tritan”, which has less “embodied energy” than aluminium and stainless steel products, making it 80 per cent more environmentally.
Byrt says studies suggest that 1500 single-use water bottles are consumed every second in the United States, with 20 per cent being recycled.
“This epidemic hits our hip pocket as well, with bottled water cost-ing about 1400 times more than it does out of the tap and is often less regulated.”
The two halves of the bottles had to be machined separately and glued together to make the prototypes. The plastic is 2mm thick for strength.
“This way we could accurately represent what the fi nal will look like and how it will perform
in different scenarios,” Byrt said.“We've all heard those horror
stories of the collapsible bottles exploding inside backpacks; this is one critical design factor that we had satisfy.”
Bottle idea attracts a paying crowdBottle idea attracts a paying crowd
Bright idea: Jonathon Byrt, top right, and Jesse Leeworthy, have struck the right chord when it comes to seeking funding to manufacture a slim water bottle to fi t with modern bags.
A SPECIAL dance class run by Penin-sula Health is providing far more than just fun for a group of elderly resi-dents living with Parkinson’s disease.
Peninsula Health’s weekly dance movement therapy class is helping en-hance the mental, emotional, physical and social wellbeing of participants.
Fleur Terrens, a physiotherapist who leads the class, said that on a physi-cal level, dance helped Parkinson’s sufferers reduce movement hesitation and freezing which hinder everyday activities through rhythmic and repeti-tive movement.
But she said the emotional and social benefi ts of dance were just as important.
“It can also help to build their self-confi dence and overcome depression and anxiety,” Ms Terrens said.
“With time and practice it becomes easier and confi dence builds which can help with everyday activities.
“Things like maintaining a steady pace in a crowded street or keeping moving when paying at a shop check-out becomes easier.”
For Baxter resident Bruce Marsetti, who has been a passionate dancer for many decades, the benefi ts of the weekly dance class have been profound.
The 86-year-old is fi nally back dancing after being restricted for 10 years due to Parkinson’s disease,
which makes it diffi cult for him to control his movements.
Each week, Mr Marsetti joins six others as part of the dance group formed by the Community Rehabilita-tion Program at Peninsula Health.
“Dancing has been wonderful for me, I began ballroom dancing 40 years ago, I even met my wife at dance classes,” Mr Marsetti said.
“I found it diffi cult to dance since living with Parkinson’s but Fleur’s dance class keeps me going.
“I have been coming to the class for one and a half years now and it improves my movement.
“I look forward to Fleur’s dance class every week.”

RAISING awareness about prostate cancer is the aim of the Long Ride which passed through HMAS Cer-berus yesterday.
About 100 motorcycle riders from Defence establishments throughout Victoria left Sale early in the day and rode via Crib Point to the Watsonia, Laverton and Puckapunyal bases.
They will join around 450 other rid-ers from throughout Australia making their way to their ultimate destination – Uluru – on 4 October.
The Defence department supports the aim of the Long Ride which also raises funds for research into the can-cer, which kills 2900 men in Australia each year out of the 18,700 new cases diagnosed.
In its early stages, prostate can-cer has few symptoms, however, if detected early it is often treatable and curable. Men aged 50 and over - or
40 if there is a family history - should not wait for symptoms: just have a check-up. It’s a simple step that could save their lives.
Commander Guy Blackburn, national assistant co-ordinator for Defence Long Ride 2014, said men generally lagged behind women in requesting medical checks, putting themselves at risk of missing out on an early diagnosis.
“We want our guys to be healthy,” he said. “We are seeking to raise awareness of a cancer which comes with an ironic twist: it’s the most eas-ily treatable and preventable – with a 92 per cent success rate - and yet it is one of the biggest killers.
“To beat it all you have to do is see a GP.”
More than 2000 people have ridden in the Long Ride since its inception in 2007 - raising more than $1.2 million.
Ready to ride: Participants in the Long Ride get ready to leave HMAS Cerberus on their way to other Victorian military bases.

CARRUM Downs police sergeant Daniel Bur-gess was last week awarded one of the country’s highest awards for bravery after risking his life to save a fi sherman from heavy seas off Phillip Island.
Sergeant Burgess was awarded the 2013 Royal Humane Society’s Clarke Medal for outstanding bravery by Governor-General Sir Peter Cos-grove at a ceremony in Melbourne on Tuesday.
The medal was in recognition of his efforts to save the life of a fi sherman who had been washed almost a kilometre out to sea in treach-erous conditions off the coast of Phillip Island in January 2012.
Sergeant Burgess battled for more than 40 minutes in heavy seas to save of the life of the drowning fi sherman.
But the modest police offi cer refused to call himself a hero, saying he only did what he hoped anyone would do in that situation.
Bravery award for rescueBravery award for rescue
PROSPECTS for a pool complex on the Rose-bud foreshore have receded even further after written confi rmation that the project must meet the state government’s new stricter Victorian Coastal Strategy requirements.
The confi rmation came in a letter from the en-vironment department, received as Mornington Peninsula councillors again engaged in tense, sometimes highly emotional, debate about the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.
The issue, raised as urgent business at the 22 September council meeting, was the second SPA debate in a fortnight.
Some 30 placard-carrying pro-foreshore site supporters fi led quietly into the Rosebud Memo-rial Hall as the meeting started, to a welcome from the mayor Cr Antonella Celi, a strong foreshore pool advocate.
Questions on the project were dealt with by shire CEO Michael Kennedy, some paraphrased to meet question time standards.
The two-part urgent business resolution fi rst tackled a rescission motion, lodged by Cr Anne Shaw a fortnight earlier to try to overturn a deci-sion stopping work on the SPA. It then laid out a detailed proposal for community use of property bought in Wannaeue Place in 2012 as an alterna-tive site for the pool complex.
Both parts passed, the second part with the highly signifi cant backing of leading foreshore site supporter Cr David Gibb. Opposition came from councillors Celi, Shaw and Andrew Dixon. Cr David Garnock is overseas and Cr Graham Pittock is unable to vote on SPA issues.
But immediately the meeting ended Cr Shaw lodged another notice of motion, written during the Urgent Business debate. It is believed to be an effort to reverse the resolutions just passed, joining her move to rescind the “stop work” mo-tion. These two motions will likely be discussed at the 13 October council meeting.
The letter, from the offi ce of Environment Minister Ryan Smith to a Rosebud resident, states that the shire is yet to provide Mr Smith with information he sought in early 2012.
The letter’s tone strongly suggests that the minister and his department are tiring of waiting for the shire to provide the information.
The letter reiterates three of the original seven items of information sought: Evidence of “broad-based community sup-port” for the SPA to be built on the foreshore; Evidence of “net community benefi t that considers the loss of public open space on the proposed site”. (At least one of the four SPA design proposals occupies the entire foreshore, from Point Nepean Rd to the beach); A business case for the SPA, “including poten-tial funding options”.
This information appears to be Mr Smith’s most urgent concerns, particularly information on broad community support for the $40-plus million project. The shire sent the minister a submission on community support several years ago: the repeated request appears to indicate the
minister has rejected what he received. The letter states that, once the shire provides the informa-tion sought, its application to proceed with the foreshore development will be assessed “in ac-cordance with all relevant policy documents”, in-cluding the “relevant Victorian Coastal Strategy at the time of making decision” (sic).
The 2014 coastal strategy, gazetted on 1 Sep-tember, imposes stringent conditions on use of foreshore land. It defi nes “foreshore” as extend-ing 200 metres inland from the water’s edge – which at Rosebud covers all the land from the beach to Point Nepean Rd – and prohibits non-foreshore dependent uses, including community halls.
That almost certainly means the minister would reject inclusion of the existing Rosebud hall and a gymnasium in a foreshore pool project. Both facilities are included in the drawings the shire has received in its pool design competition.
During debate on 22 September CEO Michael Kennedy revealed that the Wannaeue Place de-velopment proposals would cost more than $100 million. While he described the fi gure as “no more than an order of magnitude”, he itemised the facilities being put forward: $55 million for the proposal to amalgamate in Rosebud the current three shire offi ces – Rose-bud, Hastings and Mornington; $25 million for a pool only. The urgent busi-ness proposal, Dr Kennedy pointed out, did not mention a gymnasium; $10-15 million for what he described as “big think” works, presumably including a new Rose-bud community hall built off-foreshore; $5 million for the library and other community spaces proposed to be included in a renovation of the shire’s Besgrove St offi ces.
Cr Lynn Bowden said Dr Kennedy’s fi gures seemed to be an effort to “throw out the big bucks and try and scare everybody away”.
It was argued that the proposal could be built in stages rather than being tackled as one huge project.
Dr Kennedy had emailed councillors late on Friday 19 September urging them “to return to consensus decision making” on the SPA and revi-talising the Rosebud activity centre.
“Seeking to achieve consensus is far preferable to simple majority (win/lose) voting,” he wrote.
In a statement apparently supporting building the SPA at Wannaeue Place, he wrote: “Council-lors will recall that the strategic purchase of Wan-naeue Place was deliberately facilitated and rec-ommended by me … to provide a further option for the location of the aquatic facility” and as part of redeveloping and revitalising Rosebud.
Cr Fraser, speaking in support of the develop-ment plan, said Rosebud would be revitalised partly by having a single shire headquarters at Wannaeue Place, with some 250 staff from Hast-ings and Mornington stationed there, as well as the Besgrove St staff.
He said the Besgrove St HQ was in the school and sporting precinct and the refurbished build-ing could include facilities including a library, an art gallery and community meeting rooms.

Foreshore cover-up: One of the aquatic centre designs being being exhibited by Mornington Peninsula Shire shows the scale of the project on the foreshore area.
TWO people were arrested last week over a spate of burglaries and thefts from cars allegedly committed this month around Hastings and Bittern.
Police arrested a 17-year-old youth and 30-year-old man after the car they were travel-ling in was pulled over in Hastings on 22 September.
A number of items allegedly stolen from homes and vehicles in the area were located dur-ing a search of the vehicle.
Police said the majority of those items had been returned to their owners.
The pair was charged with two counts of bur-glary and nine counts of theft from a vehicle.
They were bailed to appear before Frankston Magistrates Court at a date to be fi xed.
Police said the incident highlighted the im-portance of drivers locking their vehicles, even when parked within residential properties.

Protest praiseProtest praiseCongratulations Tim Burford and Karri Giles, for taking thinking peoples’ concerns about the proposed Port of Hastings extension to the Ramsar secretariat in Switzerland (‘Swiss visit by port protesters’, The News 23/9/14).
The waste of taxpayers’ money on this crazy idea is staggering. And [Hastings MP] Neale Burgess is promoting it with full-page ads in the media.
The $110 million that is being wasted here could support more environmentally friendly industries on the land surrounding the existing port. How about attracting and encouraging renewable energy companies to set up here?
If Mr Burgess is genuine about jobs, that’s what he should push for, not the destruction of our tourist and recreational fi shing industry and the jobs connected to them in Western Port. The bay is too precious to take chances with.
The environment should be of foremost con-cern to us all.
Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Protect the bayProtect the bayExpanding the Port of Hastings is not the answer. I do not support development because there will be a dredge of 24 million cubic meters (15 MCGs) to be dumped where? And a couple of hands full of permanent jobs for local people and but losses in current and future tourism and farming revenue, congesting our roads and polluting our environment. Up to 1000 farms and businesses in the special use port zone are at risk.
It is time to ask the hard questions of our poli-ticians and expect answers, not rhetoric.
Is the reason money? Is this the cheapest plan, on the table for so long that it can be hurried through? Is it because coal export needs to happen soon or it will become a stranded asset? Why go against senior logisticians who recom-mend Hastings has too many logistical problems for the city and access to air-freight?
We need to think, why would the federal and state government give a $25 million grant (six hospitals) to Shanghai electric to work out how to make briquettes out of brown coal? Why would a meeting on the 12 June in Wonthaggi with the state government be talking about a port to service the La Trobe Valley? Why would China not take our low particulate coal to solve its smog problem and have us maybe pay a price on carbon?
Why has a second Shapiro report not been commissioned? Why will politicians not tell us what required amount of dredging?
How many jobs will just be people moving from Melbourne docks?
What are they going to do about congestion on the Western Port Highway with 4000 extra double-Bs on the road, not the mention incoming coal from Latrobe valley.
Will Fishermen have any fi sh in the future? Will the Ramsar wetlands be delisted? Will we lose the penguin parade? Will boating and yacht-ing be restricted?
What will politicians do about foreign ships bringing foreign organisms into the bay?
Western Port is really special, mangroves and seagrass are critical to ecosystems because they take in carbonic acid and make oxygen from it, the lifeblood of the bay.
Dredging will have unknown consequences and ships or a dredger bring in pest species like the Pacifi c star. There will fuel oil spills from ships, noise and air pollution.
I grew up next to industrial Trafford Park in Manchester with bronchitis from factory pol-lution through dust, dirt, noise and congestion, walking to school with the stench of heavy truck petrol fumes. Who will want to live beside an industrial estate next to a dead or dying ecosys-tem?
When [Hastings MP] Neale Burgess is long out of politics the people of Western Port will still be paying the price. Use your vote on 29 November even if you typically have allegiances with different parties, this is about saving our bay and creating great tourism jobs into the future.
Sue King, Somers
Factional frictionFactional friction The public Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting in Rosebud on 22 September was a fascinating insight into factional friction within the council. Adding to the fascinating machina-tions of council was a group of dour faced, but well behaved protestors with signs supporting the development of SPA [Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre] on the [Rosebud] foreshore.
The protest had been promoted on Facebook, with the promise of media attention and photog-raphers. The group (of about 20) dissipated rather quickly, leaving only a faithful few to see their hopes for a SPA on the foreshore dashed. To say the protest was a fi zzer was an understatement.
The council meeting came to life toward the end of the agenda under the heading Urgent Business, when Cr Hugh Fraser (Nepean ward) tabled what can only be described as an innova-tive vision for Rosebud, including an aquatic centre on the site purchased by the shire in Wan-naeue Place. Questions and responses ensued for considerable time and the factional frictions over the SPA were all too evident.
I commend Crs Fraser and [Tim] Rodgers for maintaining cool professionalism amid some hefty and emotive accusations. I also commend Cr David Gibb who, despite his previously held view that the SPA should go on the foreshore, stated that in the interest of “consensus and a way forward” he was willing to change his position and support the recommendation for the vision as outlined by Cr Fraser.
In direct contrast to those just mentioned, there were petulant and emotional outbursts by Crs [Anne] Shaw, [Andrew]Dixon and the mayor Cr [Antonella] Celi.
As an observer in the gallery I have to say these outbursts were unworthy and subjective.
When it came to the vote and it was evident that the recommendations had been overwhelm-
ingly accepted (with only three against), the mayor was visibly distraught and the meeting was closed.
It is my hope that those who protested and those on council who dissented will put their bit-terness aside and embrace the vibrant and fresh vision for the future of SPA and the Rosebud business and retail precinct, among other things as outlined in the recommendations put forward by Cr Fraser.

Penalty ratesPenalty ratesTake pity on people under 30 trying to build a life by getting a job.
There are no jobs but, if they can’t get one, they lose income support for half of the year, existing on charity, begging, or crime.
Further study is to be beyond them because of the huge cost and debt of free education, and anyhow, how can you study while living in the gutter?
Even if they get a job they’ll never afford a house. If they are intelligent, creative, talented, energetic and motivated – the exact opposite of our politicians – the best job they can get in this banana republic will be tourism or services.
They’ll never get a top career job in major industry because there isn’t any industry left, it’s all gone to China.
We will even import our trains and submarines rather than provide good quality jobs by building them here.
Speaking of jobs, a “job” is 40 hours a week on at least the minimum wage. Ten hours a week is only a quarter of a “job”, and the media should make this distinction when reporting politicians’ grandiose statements of job creation.
Also, being statistically classifi ed as not unem-ployed but “employed” if you work more than just a few hours a week is a blatant misrepresen-tation. There is massive unemployment in this country, and yet we still import migrants and even issue temporary visas for contracted “guest workers”, on the cheap, to take our jobs.
God help our young people, our government won’t.
Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Vote of supportVote of supportI would like to add my support to Per Carlsen and his strong criticism of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (‘Time for change’, Let-ters, The News 16/9/14). We have 11 councillors who are democratically elected to represent their community and not to slavishly follow one of the two major factions that appear to have formed within council.
Important recent decisions, such as Planning Amendment C162 and the Rosebud SPA have been carried by the casting vote of the mayor after those factions have tied. With C162 the mayor (at the time) ignored the wishes of the lo-cal Briars ward councillors and used her second and casting vote to support the faction that she consistently follows.
I believe this was an affront to existing proto-col.
Councillors voting with confl ict of interest and factional voting are an impediment to local communities. Like Per Carlsen I am hoping that an inquiry will follow the appointment of our new CEO as will the removal of a discriminatory planning regime.
Terri Mandler, Mt Eliza
Support doubtSupport doubtHere we have yet another Mt Eliza residents group making unsubstantiated claims on the level of community support for the Liberal Party’s removal of residents rights in Mt Eliza by approving Planning Amendment C162 (‘Out-come supported’, Letters, The News 23/9/14).
There are only two defi nitive measures of support:
1. Community responses to two council surveys clearly record that only fi ve per cent of Woodlands residents were in support.
2. The immediate past councillor for Mt Eliza was a prominent supporter of the amendment. He was soundly unelected by the silent majority at the last council elections.
It is also worth noting that the majority of the Briars ward councillors strongly opposed the amendment but were defeated by the council faction group and the mayor’s casting vote.
Terry O’Shea, Halls Head,Western Australia
Labor wrongLabor wrongThe article ‘ALP blasts coalition kinder deal’ (The News 23/9/14) shows that the Labor candidate for Nepean Carolyn Geixner is either misinformed or being deliberately misleading about kindergarten funding.
It was actually the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd govern-ment that last year wavered on its commitment and reneged on locking in a long term funding agreement for 15 hours of kindergarten for all four-year-olds.
Instead, in typical Labor style, it only agreed to a further 18 months funding and a review.
As is usually the case, an incoming Coalition government has had to pick up the mess left by Labor.
Rightly, the federal Liberal Coalition govern-ment was keen to see some of the initial results from the Labor review before allocating further funding.
However, the states and territories – led by Premier Denis Napthine and the Victorian Coali-tion government – worked hard to ensure that even though the review was being conducted, the federal government still provided certainty for families and kinder services as soon as possible.
As a result of our work, earlier this month the federal Coalition government committed to funding its share of the 15 hours to complement the commitment we made in this year’s state budget.
Readers should know that it was the Victorian Coalition government that made the case for further funding – and it was the federal Coalition government that agreed to further funding.

By Paul “Tracker” PingiaroNOW the footy is done and dusted for another year we can seriously turn our attention to fi shing.
With snapper becoming more frequent by the day, angler excite-ment is starting to reach fever pitch. It's the time of the year where tradies swap tool trailers for boat trailers and the most reliable of partners become absent, all caught up in the quest to bag a snapper.
Yes, many suffer the effects of the red fever. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s to be embraced it's a Mel-bourne institution.
The arrival of the snapper heralds the changing of the season, the cold dark bitter days of winter give way to spring fl owers, warm sunshine and promise of summer fun.
Port Phillip and Western Port pro-duce most of Victoria's snapper, mak-ing the Mornington Peninsula ground zero for snapper enthusiasts.
Popular spots at this time of year are between Carrum and Mt Martha in Port Phillip and from Cowes to Warneet in Western Port.
For best results fi sh deep waters during the day and move into the shallower water between sunset and sunrise.
The most productive rig for snapper is a running sinker. However, anglers fi shing soft plastics and fl asher - snap-per snatcher - rigs also do well.
Snapper can respond well to a good burley trail and popular baits include pilchards, squid, silver whiting, couta, and salmon.
Snapper in Port Phillip are easily caught on 4-8kg outfi ts. In Western Port anglers prefer 8-10kg equipment due to the strong tides.
Snapper are a symbol of Victorian fi shing and culture. They are more than just a fi sh, they are the essence of the season, the spirit of the bays.
Reports:
In Port Phillip the best results are coming from those fi shing the close shallow marks. Patience, luck and a bit of knowledge is key for early sea-son snapper. Sinkers as light as pos-sible, fi shing good structure or beds and quality well-presented bait are all good steps in the right direction.
In the southern end of the bay whiting and squid are solid options in the shallows and gummy sharks to 20kg have been caught in the deeper channels.
Around Mornington good schools of salmon and squid continue to haunt the shallows and, as the water has started to warm, we are seeing garfi sh and whiting. Flathead have been consistent and snapper more frequent every week.
From Frankston to Mordialloc anglers after a snapper should fi sh the reefs from 6-10m.
Anglers fi shing in kayaks have had some incredible results, landing snap-
per to over 80cm by targeting the shal-low reefs 6-8m and using soft plastics. Squid, salmon, red mullet and fl athead have also been landed.
In Western Port all the talk is of snapper. The north end is most pro-ductive at the moment, but in the next week or so we will see good fi shing extend throughout. Not only are snap-per getting caught but squid, whiting and pike are in the shallows, while the deeper waters are holding some good gummy sharks and a few school sharks.Tight lines and calm seas.

OPEN DAYBELEURA Village Mornington proves once again that it is much more than a place to live, but rather a vibrant retirement community where creativity and socialising go hand in hand.
And now the public can see how exceptional this village is with its open day on October 11 from 1pm to 4pm.
An all-weather event, Beleura Village open day will host a photography exhibition, art and craft stalls and afternoon tea.
This inaugural photographic exhibition will showcase over 70 works from the residents, many of whom are avid photographers.
With a strong tendency towards the creative, visitors on the day can also see the many arts and crafts the residents have made, and then enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea.
Beleura Village has an extensive range of fa-cilities and activities suited to every interest, with exceptional architect-designed homes sur-rounded by gardens and wetlands.
There is even a fabulous community club-house and championship bowling green located
in the heart of the village.With Beleura Village almost sold out, there
are still a small number of villas available. However plans and information will be on dis-play for guests looking at the new village in Safety Beach.
Currently under construction, Martha Cove Village will open its fi rst stage early next year, and is another development by Retirement Communities Australia.
“One of the best things about retirement vil-lages is they have huge social capital for the residents,” said Julie Campbell of Retirement Communities Australia. “A lot of our residents volunteer for local charities, are involved with Lions Club and Probus. Retirement villages are nothing like they used to be. Most of these peo-ple have a better social life than many of us.”
Beleura Village open day is on Saturday Oc-tober 11, from 1pm to 4pm.
Beleura Village is at 107 Bungower Road, Mornington.

St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is committed to our patients. “Together, we’ll get you moving”.
The proof is in our results:Results of 2014 Inpatient Press Ganey satisfaction survey showed: Overall Assessment - Patient Satisfaction with the Provision
of Care, Overall rating of care provided and Likelihood of recommending our hospital - all 99th percentile nationally
** So this means our patients voted us the best rehabilitation hospital in Australia** Results of 2013 Australian Rehabilitation Outcome Centre
yearly data collection showed our Functional Improvement Measure is 1.2 points better than other rehabilitation hospitals nationally.
** Our care ensures our patients have the best possible outcome – returning home** Australian Council of Healthcare clinical indicators showed 99.2% of
our patients return to accommodation equal to or greater than pre-episode accommodation - 19.3% higher than the national average.
We don’t just care for our patients - we care about them, by working collaboratively to ensure they get back to doing what they love.

We don’t just care for our patients - we care about themOur success is measured by our patients’ feedback.
The Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey is conducted annually by an external provider, who asks our patients a number of questions about their entire hospital stay. In the most recent Press Ganey Survey 92 (>60%) inpatients responded and gave us an average score of 88.4. This placed us in the 99th percentile and when benchmarked against other private rehabilitation hospital we ranked number 1.
We conduct patient experience surveys and ask them:
“Why did you choose to come to SJOG Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital?”
Here is what our patients had to say-
1. “My father was a patient 3 years’ ago and he was looked after so well, he went home so healthy “
2. “The people from the retirement village I’m at have told me how fantastic it was at SJOG Frankston and how their recovery was quick”
3. “My mother was at SJOG Berwick
as a patient and they looked after her so well, that when my oncologist recommended SJOG Frankston to regain my energy I said yes straight away.”
4. “I completed “outpatients’ physiotherapy at SJOG Frankston and the physiotherapist’ were so caring and
had to have my hip replacement I made sure that I came back here”
5. “I’ve been a patient here at Frankston, and my care was fantastic and I felt so well when I went home
back after my other knee replacement.”
6. “My son suggested I come to SJOGF, as he has friend’s parents that came here in the past.”
7. “An acute hospital suggested I come to SJOGF after I had a motor bike accident, they said that it will assist in me returning to home. Also, the nurses that came from SJOG were great and gave me hope that I’ll recover from my accident.”
8. “My doctor looking after me thought it would be good to come
here as I need to increase my strength before I go home.”
9. “I needed rehab and my doctor referred me to you”
10. “My Dr rang you (Frankston) to see if I can come in for help with my walking. I have Parkinson’s’ & my GP said that I could get help with my walking.”
11. “I wanted to go home straight after my operation but the hospital told me that it would be good
to have rehab at Frankston as I can increase my strength & return home safely.”
12. “I’ve heard about you (Frankston) from friends who said they had good rehab with you. Asked can you explain what “good rehab “it was? Response - they became more active, support organised for home.”
13. “An acute hospital recommended I go to SJOG Frankston to help me return home.”

Ageing Well goes hi-tech
PENINSULA Health’s hugely successful Age-ing Well Expo is back for the ninth year with a group of IT experts eager to help expo-goers with all things technology.
Event organiser Nikki Best said the expo, which expects to attract over 1200 attendees, gives older people the chance to explore the many different ways in which they can age posi-tively, including using the latest technology.
“Health-related apps and ‘wearables’ are on the rise. There are apps to remind you when to take medication, to track how far you’ve walked or even help with rehabilitation exercises.
“There’s so many ways people can use tech-nology to age well, all they need is a helping hand to get started. That’s why we want expo-goers to bring along their iPads, mobile phones and lots of questions for our tech team - a keen group of students from Monash University,” Mrs Best said.
For the fi rst time there will also be workshops throughout the day to allow people to learn, share and discuss topics including reducing risk of dementia, activities for carers, planning for the future and cooking for one.
“It’s a fantastic informative event; with more than 80 displays from local health, council services and other community organisations,” \Mrs Best said.
As well as entertainment, information and group activities, expo-goers can test their blood pressure, hearing, balance and diabetes risk in the dedicated health screening room.
The event is free and refreshments are provid-ed throughout the day. There is ample parking and the venue has disability access throughout.
The Ageing Well Expo will be held on Wednesday 8 October, 9.30am – 2.00pm at New Peninsula Baptist Church, 370 Craigie Road, Mount Martha.
Free transport is available from Frankston, Mornington, Blairgowrie and Hastings. To book a seat call Peninsula Transport Assist on 9708 8241. Bus RSVP close on Friday 3 October.
The Peninsula Health event is held in partner-ship with Mornington Peninsula Shire, Brother-hood of St Laurence, Frankston City Council, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local and National Seniors Australia.

LAST Tuesday evening saw the largest function ever held at St. John’s Retirement Village being the culmination and celebration of 30 years of service to the local and broader community.
The Board of Directors invited two hundred residents and guests including Mayor Cr An-tonella Celi and State Member for Hastings, Neale Burgess MP, to share a lovely dinner and to reminisce about the village from its earliest beginnings to the present day. One of the high-lights of the evening was the presentation to two long-time residents, Mrs Dorothy Turner and Mrs Phyl Geyer.
Both ladies have enjoyed living at St. John’s
Village for 30 years and have been very involved in the social activities. The Residents Association also presented the Village Manager, Mrs Wendy Rae with a beautiful rhododendron for the 21 years she has been employed by the Village.
Guests viewed photos from the early days and laughed at a hilarious DVD of residents and staff dancing to the song “Happy”.
There was a great sharing of joy and laughter throughout the entire evening making this a much talked about event that will be remembered fond-ly for many years to come.
St Johns Retirement Village is at 45 Park Lane, Somerville. Phone 5977 6955.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Six military horses cause chaosSix military horses cause chaosCompiled by Melissa HodgeMESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of dairy and other cat-tle, sheep, farm and dairy utensils.
***MR J. Cuthbert sailed on Wednesday, by the Otway, for England, his uncle (Sir Alric Churchward) having sent for him to attend the Commission in Royal Artillery.
***THE friends of Mr Cyril Twining will be pleased to learn that he is able to resume his duties, his arm which was broken by an accident some weeks ago, being quite recovered.
***AT St. Paul’s Church of England. Frankston, on Sunday next, special collections will be taken for the Home Mission fund of the Church. Out of this fund 60 parishes around Mel-bourne are helped, and many other activities of the church are fi nanced. Rev G. A. Kitchen, on Sunday last, told the congregation that true patriot-ism meant sacrifi ce, and that those who were giving so well to the Patri-otic Fund should up their subscrip-tions to the funds for local needs.
***THE Spring Meeting of the Morn-ington Racing Club is to take place at the Drywood estate racecourse on Tuesday, 8th December next. Among the improvements to be made at the course will be a saddling paddock and an up to date stewards’ room, with
balcony. The members’ season tickets (for two meetings) were fi xed at 7s 6d ; admission to course, 2s, and to course and paddock 5s. ***MRS. J. W. Swords, of Victoria Villa, Hutton street, Dandenong, died on Friday morning last, aged 93 years. The deceased lady was born at Nenagh, Ireland, on April 21, 1821, and came of a good old English family, her mother being one of the Falkners, of Bushy Park and Mount Falkner, county of Tipperary. She married in 1839 James Walter Swords, whose father was a colour-sergeant in the famous Black Watch, and spent the rest of his days as librarian at Somerset, House, London. They emigrated to Australia in March 1840, in the sailing ship Teresa (Captain Wood,) arriving at Liardet’s Beach, now Port Melbourne, after a fi ve months’ voyage. Mr Swords came out under engage-ment to Mr Thomas Strode, of the “Port Phillip Patriot.” Mr Swords was employed as shipping reporter on the “Patriot”, and afterwards journeyed overland to Portland, where he founded the fi rst provincial paper, the Portland “Guardian.” In 1851 he had amassed consider-able landed property in Bourke street and at Collingwood which was then open country, and was building freely, when the goldfi elds rush took place, and he was left with a number of half-fi nished houses on his hands, and
was sold up by the money-lenders. In 1860 he established the Bacchus Marsh “Guardian,” and in 1874 the Dandenong “Advertiser,” now the property of Messrs. Henry Falkner and F. W. Swords. Mr Swords predeceased his wife 30 years ago. Mrs Swords was the mother of 13 children, the eldest being the late Mrs Henry Scarborough, of Frankston.
***AFTER the performance of “Who’s Who,” the members of St Paul’s Club gave a supper to. Mr C. Elis and presented him with a large aluminium kettle as a wedding gift.
***OWING to the unsettled state of the weather, and the splendid rains, which we hoped would be general, the Progress Association were unable to continue the “War of weeds and thistles” at the Frankston cemetery, but we hope that the good work will be continued when the opportunity offers. The association expect to or-ganize another working bee shortly.
***THE Frankston Choral Society held their usual rehearsal on Monday night. The members were very enthu-siastic over the madrigals Mr Earp is teaching.This is an advanced form of choral music, and is very attractive and tuneful. The members are to be congratulated on their initial efforts.An advertisement in another column draws attention to an alteration in the arrangements for the next choral prac-tice. Owing to the Mechanics bring
occupied on Monday evening the choral will practice in the Mechan-ics on Wednesday at 8pm. A good muster is expected.
***A SPLENDID response is being made to the appeal for eggs made by our Patriotic Committee. Mr W. W. Richardson has already received over 40 dozen eggs, and these will be forwarded to the troops as soon as arrangements can be made. This is indeed a worthy object, and thanks are due to Mr Hocking for his sug-gestion, and Mr Bert Shannon and Mr Richardson, for the trouble they have taken.
***SIX horses attached to the ammuni-tion wagon near the military barracks became unmanageable about 2.30pm on Tuesday last and bolted along St Kilda Road, causing great excitement.
Three of the horses were mounted by soldiers. They galloped madly along the road with the wagon bump-ing in the rear and the riders trying to swerve them out of the way of approaching traffi c.
As the bolting horses approached the Homoeopathic Hospital the lead stumbled and in a moment the fi ve animals were down in a heap. The riders were buried amongst them.
Archibald McFarlane, 28, driver, attached to the Expeditionary Force, sustained concussion and trauma injury to the left shoulder and was taken to the Homoeopathic Hospital for treatment.
One of the horses fell against the dummy of a tram and unseated a pas-senger, Mrs McEwan, 23, of Main-road, Ringwood, Mrs McEwan’s nose and face were cut through coming in contact with the metal road, and she had to receive attention at the hos-pital, the two other drivers escaped serious injury.
***DON’T TOSS THE BABY. THE throwing a baby into the air and catching him again is always a risky practice, certain though the tosser may be of his quickness of eye and sureness of hands.
A sudden and unexpected move-ment of the child in his mid-air fl ight may result in a cruel fall.
A gay young father snatched up his baby boy one morning and tossed him to the ceiling.
Twice the little fellow went fl ying through the air and came down safely into the waiting arms. The third time the excited child gave a spring of delight as his father’s hands released him, plunged forward, and pitching over the father’s shoulder, fell head downward to the fl oor.
When the poor child came out of the stupor in which he lay for hours, it was found that, although no bones had been broken, the brain had sustained an injury that would in all probability render the child an imbecile.

WHAT’S ON
84 STATION ST SOMERVILLE Phone: 5977 5241
By Stuart McCulloughAT fi rst I misunderstood. I was wait-ing for a take away coffee when an email appeared in my inbox without warning from a large department store. The subject line declared: VIP Sale – Hurry last days!
I know for a fact that ‘VIP’ stands for ‘Very Important Person’ and not, as I’d previously thought, ‘Volup-tuous Idiot Pants’. I don’t know much about VIP sales except they’re about as frequent as a visit by Halley’s Comet.
There was not a second to lose. Instantly, I leapt to my feet and aban-doned my low-fat soy latte with half an artifi cial sweetener. Away from the madding crowd, my fi ngers worked furiously to type out the only question anyone would want to ask when time was so clearly of the essence.
According to Macy’s, I must act now or forever hold my peace or someone else’s peace in the event that I had been careless and temporarily misplaced my own.
‘OMG.’ (I was, after all, using a mobile phone.) ‘THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW’, I replied. ‘I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!’ (Thank goodness for predictive text.)
I’ve been told that using upper case for emails can be interpreted as ag-gressive, to which I generally respond with violence, preferably using a piece of rubber hose.
Then, without wasting so much as another nanosecond, I asked the one question that had been burning inside me from the moment I received the email – ‘REGARDING YOUR VIP
SALE: HOW MUCH FOR KANYE WEST?’
It’s been said that the internet connects people in an instant. To this time, however, I’ve received no response.
At fi rst I thought I was too late – maybe someone else had decided Kanye West would be the perfect toothbrush holder, Christmas orna-ment or pot plant stand and snapped him up. Perhaps I’d have to settle for David Bowie as an au pair or Ricky Gervais as my shoe butler. Granted, it’s not quite as awesome as hav-ing Mr. Kardashian on hand for use – say – as a human couch cushion, but life is (if nothing else) a series of
compromises. But before I could say so much
as ‘I’ll take two Betty Whites and a packet of Bill Cosbys’ I was struck by a thought with the force of a Ford Cortina trying to sneak through a pedestrian crossing: what if Macy’s were not selling VIPs, but inviting them to a sale? What if I was, in fact, a Very Important Person?
In a split second, a warm sense of satisfaction washed over me – I’d been waiting for this day my whole life.
Being declared a VIP has been something on my bucket list for yonks. Frankly, I thought it might take a little longer to attain such an
exulted status and, to be honest, now that I’ve achieved my life’s ambition I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with my time.
This changes everything. Forget queuing up. Whether it’s for the tram or the movies, being an internation-ally recognized VIP ought to carry with it certain privileges.
Actually, forget the tram – I deserve a limo. And a motorcade. Maybe a security detail, preferably in a helicopter.
There should be merchandise fea-turing my name and image. T-shirts, lunchboxes and an unauthorized biography would be the tip of a very profi table mountain.
After years dedicated to being very, very ordinary, my inner wonderful-ness has suddenly been spotted, and from quite a distance too.
To be considered ‘important’ by a twerp or a dead-set nong is no comfort. I, on the hand, have had my all-round awesomeness recognized by a major corporation based in another continent.
All of us, I think, aspire to great-ness. Indeed, YouTube was invented to make the whole idea of greatness more achievable. Unbeknownst to me, I have succeeded in becoming great without even realizing. Which, of course, is fantastic.
I grew up around important people. I knew this not because of anything they said but because their cars told me so.
When I was a kid, lots of people had a sticker on the front window of their vehicles with the McDonald’s
logo and the initials ‘VIP’. I had no idea what it took to be
considered important to Ronald Mc-Donald. Was it an honour they dished out to anyone who actually ate their pickles or was some act of bravery required?
I’d be quite willing kick the Ham-burglar right in the junior fries or rescue Grimace from a burning build-ing if required.
I might even be ready to take a bul-let for Mayor McCheese.
As I imagined it, being a VIP at McDonalds came with unimaginable benefi ts – from complimentary upsiz-ing to diplomatic immunity. I was jealous and I wanted to be part of it. Sadly, it was not to be.
Even though Macys has (belatedly) conceded that I am a very important person, they’ve done precious little about it beyond sending the email. There’s been no limo, no security detail and Kanye West isn’t return-ing my calls. At this rate, I’ll have to record an outrageously derogatory rap record just to get his attention. I doubt my packet of Bills Cosbys will arrive before Christmas and, sadly, I don’t think they’ll have Chevy Chase in my size. Suddenly, I don’t feel that important. In fact, I feel downright ordinary.
Maybe that’s all right. Everyone’s a very important person in his or her own way. Perhaps I’ll do some shop-ping – it never fails to make me feel better. I think I’ll start by getting a pair of Voluptuous Idiot Pants. [email protected]

By Toe PuntTHE past 12 months of preparation, long hours, recover sessions, cold winter training nights, sweat, tears and sacrifi ce all came down to two hours on Saturday and Sunday – the 2014 Nepean and Peninsula League grand fi nals.
Congratulations to all involved in the Sorren-to, Crib Point, Frankston YCW and Mornington Football Clubs for making it to the most impor-tant game of the season.
However, it’s at this time that we need to refl ect on what it took to get these two teams here.
Getting to a grand fi nal doesn’t just stop with the 35-odd players who have represented each of the grand fi nal clubs throughout the home and away season.
Getting to the Grand Final starts with the presi-dent and their executives for the tireless effort that they put in, week-in, week-out. Whilst the players and coaches get the adulation, it’s these ‘behind the scenes’ people who keep the place ticking over. Their only reward is seeing their clubs succeed.
There’s the people who man the gates, mark the grounds, do the time keeping, sell raffl e tickets, sell the beverages, man the canteen and barbe-cues, manage the scoreboard, clean the rooms, work behind the social club bar, run the water
and so on who are the backbone and lifeblood of the footy club.
Then, there’s the coaches and their support teams, who do so much more than turning up to training, putting out witches hats, telling players what to do and how to do it and rocking-up on match day with a whiteboard. For these guys, their season begins the very minute the last one fi nishes – blowing wind up the backsides of their own players to keep them at the club, telling po-tential recruits how good they are in a bid to en-tice them to their club, ensuring practice matches and grounds are organised and making sure they have a committed and hardened team wanting success.
So, when the 44 players turned up to the two grounds last weekend, they needed to remem-ber that there was so much more on the line than them tasting premiership glory.
Every kick, handball, mark, tackle, shepherd, block and sacrifi ce was felt and shared by so many more than those wearing the same jumper as the players on the fi eld.
For Sorrento and Frankston YCW, they felt the ultimate joy after a testing year of football.
For Crib Point and Mornington, they can be satisfi ed with their outstanding year but disap-pointed that they weren’t able to bring their best on the most important day of the footy year.
The cost of winning a flagTHE Nepean and Peninsula League Team’s of the Year were announced at the presentation night this month. There were 63 players selected by the coaches in Nepean League, while Peninsula League coaches chose 62 different players.
The fi nal team was selected purely on weight of numbers.The coaches of the year, Scott Mathers (Peninsula: Frankston YCW) and Duane Annable (Nepean:
Crib Point), picked themselves after both of their clubs fi nished clear on top of the ladder in the home and away season.
The Most Valuable Players, Anthony Barry (Peninsula) and Leigh Poholke (Nepean) were selected after receiving the most number of nominations fromr the coaches.
The teams are:
Peninsula LeagueFB: Kevin Lylak (YCW) Warwick Miller (Mornington) Steve Mannix (Edi-Asp)HB: Byron Barry (YCW) Paul Rebeschini (Bonbeach) Anthony Barry (YCW)C: Jackson Casey (Bonbeach) Adrian Speedy (Mornington) Brent Bowden (Edi-Asp)HF: Matthew Clark (Edi-Asp) Jackson Calder (Mornington) Beau Muston (Langwarrin)FF: Guy Hendry (Pines) David Bodley (YCW) Shane McDonald (Bonbeach)Rucks: Ash Eames (YCW) Mark Tyrell (Bonbeach) Rohan Healsey (Mt Eliza)
Interchange: Brad Tagg (Edi-Asp) Michael Gay (Mornington) Matt Clifford (Bonbeach) George Angelopolous (Karingal)
Coach: Scott Mathers (YCW)MVP: Anthony Barry (YCW)
Nepean LeagueFB: Adam Kirkwood (Rye) Jay Neratzoglou (Dromana) Taylor Stratton (Hastings)HB: Dean Warry (Crib Point) Christian Ongarello (Dromana) Harry Larwill (Red Hill)C: Kayle Stringer-Morris (Sorrento) Michael Dillon (Red Hill) Jay Reynolds (Frankston Bombers)HF: Jon Flack (Crib Point) Anthony Bruhn (Dromana) James Hallahan (Sorrento)FF: Leigh Poholke (Sorrento) Glenn Boyd (Crib Point) Jarryd Douglas (Red Hill)Rucks: James Cook (Crib Point) Leigh Treeby (Sorrento) Luke Herrington (Crib Point)

RECEIVING a Cricket Australia Indigenous Scholarship has put Natalie Plane on the path to – hopefully – international success.
The Frankston North resident, 18, plays for Melbourne Cricket Club where, last season, she played 18 games in the club’s female fi rst XI, taking 11 wickets at 24.9. She originally played for Pines Cricket Club.
In February Plane was named in Victoria’s fi rst female team at the Imparja Cup – a national Indigenous tournament – where she took fi ve wickets. The team fi nished third.
She recently returned from the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane where she received specialist coaching.
Plane and three other players were selected by former Australian captain Greg Chappell and the
manager of the centre, Belinda Clark, to receive the scholarship based on their performances in club cricket, at state level and in the Imparja Cup.
“The scholarship gives me access to coaches and the skills required to improve my game,” she said. “They’ll be keeping an eye on me and watching my progress.”
The pace bowler says she “loves the people she meets” in cricket and is thrilled with her prospects. “It could take me anywhere – my goal is to make the Australian women’s team.”
With the football season over, cricket is back on the agenda this weekend. Plane is itching to go in Saturday’s opening round against Essen-don Maribyrnong Park.

By IT GullyWITHIN a blink of an eye, the footy gear has been stashed in the top of the cupboard and the cricket gear has been dusted off.
Round one of the Mornington Pen-insula Cricket Association season launches on Saturday (4 October) with one day matches scheduled.
In PROVINCIAL, the new kids on the block, Pines, who has recruited well again in the off season, will face Heatherhill at Bruce Park. Pines of course won the District Grand Final against Delacombe Park last season.
Reigning premier Mornington will be favourites again, despite losing a couple of First XI players. Regard-less, the Dogs had outstanding depth last season and with a few new faces, will be the team to beat yet again. The Dogs tackle old foe Mt Eliza in the opening round.
Crib Point may have a slow start to the season given two of their most important players, Brad Davidson and
Luke Herrington, were locked down with footy commitments.
Regardless, the Pies will be more than competitive yet again. Their sea-son starts against a new look Long Island, minus Paul Hartle, who has crossed to his original club, Seaford.
Baxter will be without familiar faces Darren and Marc Uccello (Seconds) and Adrian Mack (Langwarrin) this season, however, will continue to be a force. The semi retirements of the Uc-cello’s and departure of Mack opens the door for some who have been banging it down for a while. A few new faces will also have an impact. Baxter faces Moorooduc in Round 1.
Sorrento, who went so close to go-ing all the way again last season, faces Peninsula Old Boys in the open-ing round while Langwarrin will play host to Rye. Both the Old Boys and Demons were a disappointment last season and will be looking to cause upsets in Round 1.
In DISTRICT ranks, there is enor-mous expectation on Seaford.
Seaford has recruited better than any club this season with league su-perstar Paul Hartle going back to cap-tain-coach the club.
Whilst Hartle is an enormous coup in his own right, Seaford has been able to retain its list, whilst welcom-ing back the likes of Faisal Payenda, Andy McMannus and Nick Simpen-dorfer. A couple of walk-ins off the street have also added some real sting to the team. In the opening round, Seaford plays Hastings at Seaford Re-serve.
Carrum goes head to head with Sea-ford Tigers, who had an enormous opening season last year in District. Carrum was disappointing and will want to get off to a good start at Roy Dore Reserve.
Baden Powell underperformed last season also and will be up against the young and talented Mt Martha. The Reds are another year older and could be an improver.
Delacombe Park was knocked off in the Grand Final last season after being
overwhelming favourites.The Parkers need to show what they
are made of this season. There is too much talent in this side not to chal-lenge again. The Parkers play Boneo at home in the opening round.
Flinders and Main Ridge will be in-teresting teams to watch this season and we’ll get a good gauge when they go up against one another in the fi rst round.
In the fi nal game, Somerville tests Red Hill, who won the Sub District fl ag in dominant circumstances last season.
In Sub District cricket, Ballam Park will be hoping that its luck changes after three years of humiliation.
The Knights have been the whip-ping boys over the past three years in Provincial and District and have dropped two divisions in that period of time.
The Knights face Tootgarook at Truemans Rd this Saturday.
Balnarring will unveil new recruit and former league medallist David
Ross (Langwarrin) when it hosts Dromana. It is believed that Ross is considering a return to bowling after overcoming a bout of the yips.
The Tigers have really struggled in recent times and will be hoping for a better season. Balnarring at Balnar-ring is a tough start.
Tyabb and Rosebud go head to head. Rosebud was inconsistent last season but unveiled some great young talent. If those young Buds can continue to improve, they should look forward to another good season.
Pearcedale and Frankston YCW will be hoping for good beginnings when they face off.
YCW was a bit like Dad’s Army last season with a lot of old faces. The Stonecats have good kids and they need games in them.
Finally, neighbours Carrum Downs and Skye do battle. The Cougars and Skye were also rans last season and will need to improve signifi cantly if they are to challenge.

FOOTY NEWSBy Toe Punt‘Push-up’ at PinesTHINGS just seem to be getting bet-ter for Pines.
After announcing the signing of former West Coast Eagle, North Mel-bourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards, it seems Pines will wel-come Jake ‘The Push-up’ King next season.
Whilst the Pythons won’t have Jake King for the entire season, he is expected to play in Round 1 and other times throughout the season.
Seagulls add morePENINSULA League cellar dwell-ers Chelsea have added another cou-ple of big names to their list on the back of securing former Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra as coach.
Former Richmond tough man Dan-iel Connors is the latest addition to the Seagulls, while Port Melbourne superstar Shane Valenti has also crossed to the club.
With two former AFL players and one of the VFL’s best, the Seagulls are sure to improve next season.
However, the recruiting doesn’t
stop there from all reports. It is be-lieved Guerra has a couple more aces up his sleeve.
Demons hunt for coachIN Nepean League, there is a lot of focus on Rye and Sorrento.
The Demons are hopeful that for-mer league medallist Greg Doyle will take on the coaching role.
Former Sorrento premiership play-er Josh Moore is also in the mix. He has plenty of good contacts in the Eastern Football League, which is appealing to the Demons. One of those ‘contacts’ is former century goal kicker, Justin Van Unen.
Further down the road at the reign-ing premiers, there is a hot rumour that coach Troy Schwarze is consid-ering a move to Queensland.
Duane tops off a great yearCRIB Point grand fi nal coach and Nepean League team of the year coach, Duane Annable, capped off a wonderful year on a personal level last week after he was awarded with the South East AFL Regional Coach of the Year award.
Annable had tipped Mornington coach Stuart Seagar and Berwick coach Rhys Nisbett for the award.
