A NEW Facebook page has been set up to help King-ston animal owners locate missing pets.
Kingston Council’s Lost and Found Pets page enables residents to post photographs of their beloved missing pets and ask for community help to fi nd them.
Council rangers will also post pictures of any ani-mals found without formal identifi cation.
Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees said council rang-ers are keen to help owners fi nd their lost pets and hope the Facebook page will help people to fi nd their pets.

NEW residential planning zones are set to be introduced across the City of Kingston as part of state government reforms.
Existing residential planning zones will be replaced with three new residen-tial zones: a neighbourhood residential
zone, general residential zone and resi-dential growth zone.
The new planning rules may deter-mine the type of development allowed in Kingston streets and neighbour-hoods.
City of Kingston manager of city

Taxing time: Chelsea Information and Support Centre’s Marion Howlett and Alan Sergi give tax advice. Picture: Yanni
Free tax help at handFree tax help at handTHE end of the fi nancial year can be a taxing time but Chelsea Community Support Services offers help for low-income earners to prepare paperwork required by the Australian Taxation Offi ce.
The centre has run an ATO tax help program for several years, and this has proved so popular that evening ses-sions will also be held this year.
Those with income below $50,000 for the fi nancial year are eligible for free tax help if their tax affairs are rela-
tively straightforward.The centre’s volunteers who provide
tax help are trained and accredited by the ATO.
Marion Howlett and Alan Sergi have recently passed the annual ATO exam to continue providing this free service to the community.
Low-income earners, retirees or those on benefi ts tend to use the free service to alleviate the paperwork bur-den.
“Even people who do not have to
lodge a tax return this year can use the service,” Ms Howlett said. “We can also help those who have not lodged a tax return for years get their affairs in order.”
The service is available from early July until 31 October.
Visit the Chelsea Information and Support Centre’s website at www.chelsea.org.au/tax_help for full details on eligibility for the free ATO tax help service or call 9772 8939 for further details.

MP on track for charitiesMP on track for charitiesBy Neil WalkerCARRUM MP Donna Bauer is set to walk the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea in July to raise money for two charities.
Ms Bauer will follow in the footsteps of politicians Joe Hockey and Kevin Rudd, who trekked the 135-kilometre track in 2006 during their then regular appearances on Channel 7’s Sunrise program.
State parliament will be in recess and Ms Bauer decided to take the opportu-nity to go on a self-funded trip to PNG and challenge herself to complete the Kokoda Track, the scene of battle be-tween Australian and Japanese troops during World War II, at this time.
Ms Bauer made the Kokoda chal-lenge announcement at a morning tea on Tuesday 4 June to mark the fourth birthday of Matt’s Place.
“One of my favourite subjects at school was Australian history and Kokoda would be a terrifi c personal challenge,” Ms Bauer said.
The Carrum MP plans to complete the track over a 10-day period.
Charities Matt’s Place and Pantry 5000 will benefi t from Ms Bauer’s de-cision to walk the track.
Matt’s Place, in partnership with St Chad’s Anglican Church in Chelsea, offers lonely and disadvantaged peo-ple in the community free meals each Tuesday. Meals at served at Chelten-ham each Thursday.
Pantry 5000 in Carrum, which fi rst opened its doors in March 2010, pro-vides food and support for those in need.
Ms Bauer has joined the team of vol-unteers at Matt’s Place as a waitress for a year.
“Both charities are close to my heart and I have seen fi rst hand the value for our community,” Ms Bauer said.
Ms Bauer has been undertaking a training regime to prepare for the rig-ours of the hike, walking along Car-rum beach with a backpack loaded up with 10 litres of water early each
morning and hiking up the Gentle Annie track at Labertouche in Gippsland every Saturday. She joked ‘Gentle Annie’ is a misnomer and the track should be called “Nasty Annie”.
“I’ve never been a fi t person but have used the training as a chance to address that,” Ms Bauer said.
Bendigo Bank in Aspendale Gardens have backed the fund raising effort and have set up a ‘Bauer Kokoda Charity
Challenge’ bank account to accept dona-tions for Matt’s Place and Pantry 5000.
The bank has donated $500 and $1000 to each charity respectively. Donations to support Matt’s Place and Pantry 5000 can be made via the Ben-digo Bank. Account Name: Bauer Kokoda Charity ChallengeBSB: 633-000 Account Number: 1494-76756

KINGSTON Arts is launching a new literary festival called Write Up featuring authors, journalists, play-wrights and even chefs, dishing up a feast of words.
The Write Up program will be held from Friday 21 until Sunday 23 June. A program of events is available at www.kingstonarts.com.au
KINGSTON Council is hosting free driving seminars for senior drivers.
A free three-hour information ses-sion will be delivered by Murcotts Driving Excellence, providing up-to-date information for older drivers about road rules, safety issues and health assessments.
Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees said council was committed to the safety of older drivers and a number of different senior driver education programs are offered free of charge to residents to help them update their knowledge and continue to drive safe-ly for longer.
“There have been a number of changes to the road rules over the years and while it is the responsibil-ity of the individual to make sure that they are up to date with these changes, council is helping inform older drivers by running these free programs,” Cr Brownlees said.Free driving seminars are available to Kingston residents: Tuesday 23 July from 9.30am-12.30pm Tuesday 10 September from 9.30am-12.30pm Tuesday 15 October from 9.30am-12.30pmContact council’s road safety offi cer on 1300 653 356 or email traffi [email protected] to book a place at a seminar.

Councils meeting Councils meeting THE Federal Government will hold the fourth Australian Council of Local Government at Parliament House on 16 June.
The council will bring together more than 400 local government rep-resentatives, federal ministers and parliamentary secretaries and will be the nation’s largest gathering of may-ors and shire presidents.
The inclusion of local government in the nation’s Constitution will be top of the agenda.
The meeting coincides with the start of the annual National General Assembly of Local Government con-vened by the Australian Local Gov-ernment Association, which will be held from 17-19 June at the National Convention Centre in Canberra.
By Neil WalkerKINGSTON Council has revamped its website with a new design aimed at improving usability and access.
The new website went live last week with the online refresh imple-mented after the previous layout had been in service for more than ten years.
Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees said the new website “is more up to date, more user-friendly and has more tools to enhance engagement with the community online.”
Council took part in the Municipal Association of Victoria’s tender pro-cess in 2010, with Seamless CMS, a Melbourne-based company, winning the contract to redesign the site.
The project’s $229,000 cost was
met by funds from the 2011-12 Capi-tal Budget and includes development and delivery of the new website, a mobile website, an extranet, a coun-cil intranet and the redevelopment of four microsites for Kingston Librar-ies, Kingston Arts, Kingson Business and Leisure Centres.
Cr Brownlees advised the new website will be more closely inte-grated with the council’s social me-dia outlets, including Twitter and Facebook.
“A live Twitter feed on the home-page will allow those without a Twit-ter account to access updates, which is particularly important in times of an emergency,” he said.
There have been online comments on the council’s Facebook page com-
plaining that some existing links to the previous website no longer work. Council advised there are more than 400 pages on the new site and mi-grating content and checking links is a complex process. The previous website, including all content, has been archived.
Council plans to make audio and video of council meetings available via the new website when these begin to be recorded. Councillors recently voted unanimously to record all gen-eral, planning and special meetings (‘Council meetings to hit internet’, Chelsea-Mordialloc News 29/5/13).
A digital and online communica-tions offi cer role within council’s Communications and Public Affairs department is responsible “for driv-
ing the successful implementation of [council] online and digital commu-nications channels”.
The role attracts a $69,651 to $75,994 annual salary plus super-annuation, according to a Kingston Council job advertisement in March.
Cr Brownlees advised increased functionality will be added to the website over the next few months.
Seamless CMS has built websites for many of Victoria’s muncipalities, including the Mornington Peninsula Shire and the City of Port Phillip.
Kingston Council’s new website is available to view at www.kingston.vic.gov.au online.

By Neil WalkerPATTERSON River access path-ways have fallen into a state of dis-repair and residents are no closer to discovering who should pay for their long-term upkeep despite a 20-year search for answers.
The pathways, located to the south side of the Patterson River from Valetta, Tennyson, Westley, Dahmen Streets and True and Riv-ersdale Avenues, are housed on Melbourne Water land that is man-aged by Parks Victoria.
Several attempts over the years to determine exactly who is offi cially responsible for major maintenance work and costs have proved fruit-less.
Residents fear it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured while using the pathways.
“The tracks are made of gravel and timber and when it is wet, it is slippy and quite dangerous,” Pat-terson Lakes-Carrum Village Com-mittee spokesperson Irma Shelton said.
The Village Committee advised Kingston Council has been unable to help since the pathways are not located on council land.
Committee members believed they were making some headway in their efforts to have the pathways maintained when Parks Victoria ac-knowledged “the condition of the existing pedestrian access paths” in November 2011.
However, in email correspond-ence seen by The News, Parks Vic-toria also advised they are “not in a position to upgrade any of the...
access paths due to constraints on budgets.”
Carrum MP Donna Bauer, formerly a Kingston councillor, raised the mat-ter in state parliament in June last year.
Ms Bauer noted the pathways are often referred to by locals as “goat tracks” and “in wet weather these tracks become muddy and water runs from the levee, covering the footpaths below with slippery, muddy water. This is a danger to those using the footpath, especially mothers with children, the elderly and people with a disability.”
The MP asked Victorian Minister for Water Peter Walsh “to conduct an investigation into which body is re-
sponsible for the upgrade and mainte-nance of these ‘goat tracks’, following confusion about which authority is re-sponsible, and that he provide advice about possible upgrades to improve safety.”
Melbourne Water responded last month, advising “the pathways in that location, being for recreational use, are not part of Melbourne Wa-ter’s responsibility but we appreciate concerns of local residents about their condition and we commonly under-take minor maintenance of the paths to maintain a basic level of health and safety.”
The Patterson Lakes-Carrum Vil-lage Committee claims no mainte-
nance has been done since the path-ways were built.
A Parks Victoria spokesperson advised Parks Victoria undertakes regular maintenance of the main path network but “a number of informal access tracks leading to the bike path at Patterson River have been installed over the years without any approv-als”.
Irma Shelton said residents are “not asking for the pathways to be re-placed, just maintained to a standard.”
Do you know who originally built the Patterson River access path-ways? Email [email protected] or call 03 5979 8564.

Donna Bauer MLAMember for Carrum
Parkdale Secondary College will receive $2 million in funding from the Victorian Government’s 2013/14 Budget. Half of students enrolled at the school reside in the Carrum electorate, so local families will be thrilled with this announcement. The funding will be used to build a new VCE centre to benefit senior students and modernise classrooms. The funding will also provide for the demolition of old buildings to allow construction of the community hub, funded by the City of Kingston. Current and future students of Parkdale Secondary College will have a new and creative environment that will lift educational outcomes.
A $131,000 Public Safety Infrastructure Fund Grant has been provided to the Kingston City Council, to redevelop Bicentennial Skate Park in Chelsea. Work will include landscaping, fencing and lighting to improve natural surveillance and address graffiti, vandalism and antisocial behaviour. Bicentennial Park is a popular venue enjoyed by locals of all ages and the skate park is one of only six skate parks in the City of Kingston. Skate parks are growing in popularity and I am delighted to be able to assist with the redevelopment, improving the appearance of the park and safety for locals.
I was pleased to visit Mordialloc College to engage with students and see classes in action. Mordialloc College will receive a $5,000 grant as part of the Victorian Government’s Bully Stoppers grants program. Grants have an immediate and lasting impact with many schools developing programs where students will lead the change, promote positive social behaviours, and encourage everyone to take a stand and lend a hand against bullying. The college will use the grant for a whole school approach to address the issue of homophobic bullying. Negative experiences from bullying can have lifelong effects on children, so I’m pleased Mordialloc College will implement this initiative.
I’m looking forward to walking the Kokoda Track in support of two worthy local charities - Matt’s Place and Pantry 5000. Matt’s Place in Chelsea serves up to 200 hot home cooked lunches to the community every Tuesday. Pantry 5000 in Carrum provides groceries each week to people in need.
I’m here to help. Please contact my office on 9772 4544 or email me at [email protected]. You can also follow me on Twitter, like me on Facebook, or visit my website at www.donnabauer.com.au.

By Keith PlattTHE announcement that publication of the Frankston Weekly will end this month will see a narrowing of dissemination of news and events in Frankston.
Six sister publications across the eastern and southern suburbs, inclu ding the Peninsula Weekly, are also being killed off.
The Dandenong Journal is the only paper in the group’s former eastern division to survive the cull of mastheads by the 50 per cent Fairfax-owned MMP Media Publications.
It appears just one of the 10 part-time and full-time staff at the company’s Mornington offi ce will have a job with the company after the papers’ fi nal editions on 18 June.
About 30 positions have been axed as a result of the latest closures.
Community newspapers remaining in Frankston and on the peninsula are now published by two companies, the Mornington Peninsula News Group (publisher of the Chelsea–Mordialloc News) and the Leader group, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Ltd.
Leader has recently ceased publica-tion of its Hastings edition and runs its Frankston and peninsula editions from an offi ce at Cheltenham.
The privately owned MPNG pub-lishes Frankston Times, Mornington News, Western Port News, Southern Peninsula News and Chelsea-Mordi-alloc News.
The demise of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Weeklies also wipes out the last traces of once-profi table Independent News Group, bought by Fairfax Community News (FCN) in June 2006.
At that stage the new management obviously felt it could build on the success of the Hastings-based Independent group. It set about making changes to the layout and appearance of the newspapers previously pub lish ed by the Independent group, eventually closing the Chelsea edition and Holiday magazine.
By the time FCN moved offi ces from Hastings to Mornington, staff numbers had fallen from more than 50 to 27.
The publications being closed in Frankston and on the peninsula bear little resemblance to those published by the Independent group, having undergone a complete rebranding, including size and format.
Names of newspapers changed over-night to the Weekly and the front page became a photograph instead of a picture and lead story. While journalism and photography standards were maintained, the Weeklies ap peared to have an identity crisis, not knowing if they were supposed to be a magazine or a newspaper.
Readers and – most importantly for a free publication – advertisers also appeared thrown by the sudden change.
Continuing losses led to a sharp decline in revenue that was unable to be fi xed by the “reverse” takeover in July
2012 when FCN virtually hand its 30-odd mastheads across Melbourne and $35 million to its new partner, MMP.
MMP’s inner suburban real estate-based publications had previously caused the biggest losses to the Fairfax papers.
In October last year 29 positions were made redundant by MMP, with photographers and writers being re-hired through a media hire fi rm.
MMP boss Antony Catalano on Tues day admitted the company was losing millions of dollars to Leader publications.
In an email to staff, Mr Catalano accused News Ltd of undermining MMP’s publications with payments to real estate agents.
“Our ability to gain new real estate advertising clients has been undermined by the millions of dollars News Limited is paying to agents across Melbourne and particularly in the south-east, which has made it impossible to compete fairly… it is ironic that a media organisation’s kickback program is the cause of media jobs being lost.”
Publications run by the Fairfax organisation (including its fl agship metropolitan daily The Age) and MMP seem destined to be produced – although not written – in India or New Zealand.Keith Platt worked for the Independent News Group and was regional editor on the Mornington Peninsula after the group was bought by Fairfax.
THE 25-kilometre long Peninsula Link Trail between Mt Eliza/Moorooduc and Patterson Lakes was offi cially opened on Wednesday 5 June.
Transport Minister Terry Mulder and project staff marked the opening at Mornington Railway Preservation Society’s Moorooduc station near where the track ends.
The three-metre wide walking and cy-cling path is part of the Peninsula Link freeway project, which opened in Janu-ary.
The fi nal two sections of the trail com-pleted go through the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve in Frankston North, and from Baxter to Mt Eliza Regional Park off Two Bays Rd, where the trail ends.
Walkers and riders can start near the intersection of Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Road West and travel north to its end at Patterson River in Patterson Lakes, where it connects to the gravel Dandenong Creek Trail, which in turn joins EastLink Trail.
The company responsible for main-taining the trail, Lend Lease, stated it would “pay particular attention to graf-

fi ti and vandalism, and will aim to re-move all graffi ti as quickly as possible”.
This would be done by “a dedicated path maintenance crew”.
“The sections of the path that do not run adjacent to Peninsula Link, for in-stance in Patterson Lakes, will be main-tained by the local council.”
Peninsula Link Trail spans three mu-nicipalities – Kingston, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire.
Freeway building consortium South-ern Way has contracted Lend Lease to maintain and operate the freeway for 25 years after which it will be handed to the state government.
Mr Mulder said there were many attractions along the trail including Mc-Clelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Ballam Park Homestead and Sages Cottage in Baxter.
He said walkers, runners and cyclists could travel all the way from Moo-rooduc to Patterson Lakes, and then onto central Melbourne on various other trails.

ARTISTS can now apply online to have proposed City of Kingston pub-lic art projects assessed for funding.
Kingston Council’s public art strat-egy aims to reinvigorate public plac-es and spaces through art connected to history and culture.
The recently completed Chelsea Bonbeach Train Station Arts Project is an example of the strategy’s suc-cess.
Artist Anu Patel worked with more than 240 residents in creative com-munity consultation workshops in late 2011 and early 2012 before em-barking on the colour-fi lled effort to
brighten up Chelsea Railway Station and its surrounds.
The $1.7 million project was joint-ed funded by council, Arts Victoria, the Department of Transport and the Department of Human Services.
Visit www.kingstonarts.com.au to read the public arts project guide-lines and download an artists’ appli-cation form.
THE Johnny Famechon statue project is being revived by the Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame.
“Fammo”, a Frankston resident for more than 40 years, became WBC Featherweight World Champion in 1969 after defeating Cuban Jose Legra on points at Albert Hall in London.
He fought two famous title defences against Fighting Harada of Japan, which cemented his place in boxing history.
A fundraising dinner to kickstart the project is at 6.30pm on Wednesday 19 June at Frankston RSL. Tickets cost $90 a person and include a three-course meal and drinks at bar prices. Book with the RSL on 9783 2288.
A committee of Frankston people has been formed, which includes MP Geoff Shaw.
A life-sized bronze statue of Fammo was fi rst proposed in early 2011 when Rob McCarthy and Sydney sculptor Stephen Glassborow offered Frankston Council the $150,000 statue free of charge.
Other Glassborow statues include legendary cyclist Sir Hubert Opperman in Rochester, Victoria, and champion footballer John Coleman in Hastings.
The Famechon statue will be paid for by the sale of 15 maquettes, or statuettes, of the original for $12,000 each. The statue cost has risen to $180,000 since 2011.
The statue committee aims to raise the money over the next 12 months by selling maquettes, replicas of the plaque that will be displayed at the base of the statue, and at the dinner.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 12 June 2013 PAGE 17
Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard 14 June 1913.ON Saturday last a concert was given by the pupils of the Somerville State school in aid of the building fund of the Mechanics’ Hall. They staged a programme of 16 items, all of which were interesting, instructive, grace-ful, and amusing. From start to fi nish, from the oldest pupil to the youngest, from A to Z the performance was a great credit to Mr and Mrs Reed alike and the children’s interest was sus-tained without fl agging for over two hours, and, not withstanding a very wet night, the house was full.
Dr Griffi th occupied the chair. Mrs Reed acted as accompanist. Mr Reed had the children well trained and un-der control. The various items were applauded and some caused great amusement, especially a dumb ac-tion song done in double quick time. The building fund was substantially increased by some £7 or £8. The new committee are to be congratulated on their pluck and enterprise.
The programme was as follows:-Marching song, physical culture dis-play, whistling accompaniment in-fants, hoop song, solo ‘The old Lock’ Miss D Reed, carved wand drill, ac-tion song 16 girls, recreation drill, rib-bon song 12 girls, solo ‘Snowfl akes’ R Murray, duet ‘Myrheir and his lit-tle Dutch lady,’ song ‘Sailing,’ action song 16 girls, duet ‘You Mustn’t’ Miss F. Vines and Ruben Murray, scarf drill 18 girls, cantata ‘The Magic Wood.’ Lollies over from Empire Day were then handed to the children.
***MR Power, who only lately came here
to reside with his wife and family, has received word from Dublin that his wife has come into a fortune. They have not been long out from Ireland and intend returning soon to claim the interest that has so luckily fallen to their share.
***MR A Buchanan, of Flinders, has been appointed a Justice of the Peace for the Central Bailiwick.
***GREAT activity is shown in the build-ing trade in Mornington and buildings are going up in all directions.
The second euchre party and dance in aid of the Frankston brass band will be held on 6 August.
***AT the annual meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club, held on Wednesday even-ing, Miss D Gregory was presented by the president with a handsome hand-bag - the trophy for winning the ladies’ singles tournament.
***AMONG the audience at the last Frankston Choral Concert were a number of Somerville residents who were so delighted with the programme that they have engaged some of the professionals to sing at the concert on Monday next.
***AT the Mornington Council meet-ing held on Thursday, it was resolved that a letter of sympathy be sent to Dr Grover, who had been called away to the deathbed of his son-in-law.
***MR Fowler, engineer for the Shire of Mornington, attended the meeting of that shire for the last time, before his departure for Tasmania, on Thursday. He was the recipient of hearty good
wishes from all the councillors for his future prosperity.
***THE billiard room sold by Mr W Kemp to Rev G A Kitchen, for the Frankston Club, is this week being removed to the site in Thompson St, Frankston, recently purchased. The work is being carried out by a work-ing bee, organised by Mr F Wells. We are asked to call attention to an adver-tisement in another column, offering for sale the air-gas plant, previously used in this room. Applications may be made to Mr A. Bailey, Frankston Nursery.
***ON Sunday (tomorrow) services in aid of foreign missions will be held in the Frankston Methodist Circuit, when the Rev P C Nye, from Fiji, will preach as follows:- Frankston in the morning, Langwarrin in the afternoon, and Somerville in the evening. Rev R Jackson will preach at Somerville in the afternoon and Frankston in the evening; Mr G. B. Duff at Pearce-dale afternoon and evening. During the week missionary meetings will be held at Langwarrin on Monday, Frankston on Tuesday, Pearcedale on Wednesday, and Somerville on Thurs-day, when the Rev Mr Nye will speak on missionary work. Collections will be taken up in aid of foreign missions. Meetings will commence at 8 p.m.
***MR Les Westaway had a rather excit-ing experience last Friday week. He was driving Messrs Croft’s delivery cart down Holdsworth’s Hill, when the breeching broke and the horse started off at a gallop. In trying to pull him up the reins broke and thus losing all control the driver thought discretion
the better part of valour and alighted over the back of the baker’s cart. The horse continued its mad career to-wards Somerville, and was eventually secured on the road with everything intact except the harness. Les was a bit bruised and shaken; otherwise all was well.
***THE footballer’s social was a great success numerically, socially, and fi nancially. The ball was crowded, numbers coming from distant places. The fl oor was in good order, and Miss Romeo supplied the best of music. Re-freshments were handed round at mid-night. The football c lub will profi t to the extent of some £9 or £10.
***ONE of the gratifying features of the political battle just fought to a fi ni-sh is that a large number of young men took an active part in opposing the Referenda protocols. They had no personal end to serve for they were not candidates and were so many that few of them have the slightest chance of being candidates in the future. They organised the Liberal Speakers’ As-sociation and under its auspices they qualifi ed themselves thoroughly for the task they had undertaken, devot-ing the leisure of many months to the study of the various issues.
Almost without exception the men in question were amazed by the po-litical ignorance of the electors. That ignorance was not peculiar to town or country, to any section of the commu-nity, rich or poor. Many professional men and society women showed themselves as ill versed in the history and meaning of the Constitution in the doing of Federal and State legislation as were the majority of the artisans
and labourers who attended Referenda meetings with them.
Such ignorance is perhaps the natu-ral outcome of the party system. A busy professional man, who has been trained on scientifi c lines and who is accustomed to reasonable accuracy of statement, soon wearies of speech and articles which he discovers are un-blushingly partisan. The business-man who is accustomed to deal with fi gures, has the same aversion to ran-dom assertion. So the tendency is to leave the party game to those directly interested in it.
What the Liberal Party needs is an extension of the methods which give it energetic young men to carry on its campaign. How urgently such vol-unteers are needed is shown by Mr Manger’s statement of the work done by him in conducting his Senate cam-paign. In the course of 15 months he travelled over 20,000 miles and ad-dressed more than 400 meetings. Even so, he left out some centres, and what is far more to the point, spoke in some townships 12 months or more before polling day. Unless a speaker gets fi nite promises from electors of the George Washington type, his meeting of May, 1912, is hardly likely to be po-litically tidy at the poll of 1913.
In a democracy every man should have reasons for the political faith that is in him. In the country there is leisure for the serious study of social problems, such as those who are swept by the insane rush of city life, seldom enjoy. The revival of the old Parlia-mentary debating societies, or better soil for private circles for work on the lines lain down in Melbourne by the Liberal Speakers Association would give splendid results.

68CCTV Community ConsultationThe Victorian Government is interested in your views and perceptions of closed-circuit TV (CCTV) in the Kingston City Council area.
The Victorian Government provides funding for local councils to help support the installation of public safety CCTV systems to help makecommunities safer, including the costs of buying and installing CCTV infrastructure such as CCTV cameras and equipment to transmit, monitorand store camera footage.
Available evidence suggests that CCTV can be an eff ective crime prevention tool at a local level, especially when used in combination with other local crime prevention strategies.
If you live, work or operate a business in the following suburbs, we would appreciate your timein completing a short survey:
This survey has been extended until Friday 21 June 2013.To have your say, visit http://myviews.justice.vic.gov.auResults will be published on the website once the survey is closed and data has been analysed.
By Stuart McCulloughTHERE are two versions of me. The fi rst is cultured, sophisticated and watches documentaries on SBS or ABC if anything at all, preferring in-stead to read the works of Nietzsche in the original German whilst listening to the collected works of Rachmani-nov. The second, however, is uglier and far closer to the truth. This is the individual who would gladly watch a fl y crawl across a wall so long as it was televised fi ve nights a week and included a chance for a phone vote. There’s no easy way to say it: reality television has made me an imbecile.
My father still refers to television as ‘chewing gum for the eyes’. He further reinforces his point by never consuming chewing, bubble or any other kind of gum, preferring instead to chew loose bits of gravel found on the driveway. The only excep-tion to this rule was the news and the show ‘Sale of the Century’ which he deemed to largely be educational, ex-cept for the showcase models, from whom we were required to avert our eyes. But despite growing up in a household where televisual standards were extremely high, I have found that these have steadily eroded over time. I guess I could and probably should blame myself but, frankly, where’s the fun in that?
Like many others, I resisted at fi rst. But resistance, much like quality pro-gramming itself, is largely futile. Over the past few years, it’s become clear
that there are some key principles that underpin the whole reality television phenomenon. The fi rst and, indeed, golden rule of reality television is the one thing they all have in common – namely, transformation. Like Kafka’s Metamorphosis, these programs seek to transform the contestants from or-dinary to extra-ordinary through ritual humiliation. Despite the risk of failure and national embarrassment, the idea of being rescued from obscurity ap-peals to everyone. Which of us does
not secretly hope to be plucked from our everyday lives and reborn as a hero to millions? That it could happen to the most ordinary among us only strengthens its attraction. The sheer randomness of it all takes Warhol’s concept of fi fteen minutes of fame and turns it into a spectacle for your view-ing pleasure.
Frankly, it’s my turn. But even though it’s high time that reality tel-evision’s magic touch was applied to me, I don’t fancy my chances at pre-
sent. I often wonder when somebody will get around to inventing a reality television program that suits my par-ticular talents. This, of course, would be easier if I knew what my particu-lar talents were. None of the current shows quite fi t.
It takes guts to be a contestant of reality TV, and a whole lot of them if you’re to stand a chance of winning one of those weight-loss programs. Even if I could stand to lose a couple of kilos, there’s simply not enough of me to be competitive. Besides, I’ve long believed that there’s a very good reason that sessions at the gym are not televised. It’s true that I can almost hold a tune, but it’s no use appearing on one of those singing shows, either. Given that I have an intense allergic reaction to Michael Buble and being intimately familiar with the Buble cannon seems to be a requirement of entry, I wouldn’t get past the ‘weeding out’ stage.
If I’m being honest, I have no chance of being on anything with ‘Celebrity’ in the title either, even if it’s clear that the ordinary Dictionary defi nition has been gleefully abandoned. Of all the reality shows, the ones involving ‘ce-lebrities’ are, by far, the most curious. These take people that you might have heard of and against whom you have no particular grudge, and expose a dark side that – if you were to see them coming down the street – would make you want to actively cross to the other side. Granted, they’re always done for
charity, but they too often have the ef-fect of diminishing everyone involved.
Cooking programs are way too cut-throat. I used to think that, when it came to good cooking, the secret in-gredient was love. Apparently not. If nothing else, reality television teaches that the secret ingredient is, in fact, polenta. These shows routinely chal-lenge everything I understand about cooking. Previously, I had thought that revenge was a dish best served cold, but I now know better. Revenge, it seems, is a dish best served with a jus reduction, albeit with a crispy salad.
As for home renovation, I should simply not bother. If I’ve learned anything from watching these shows it’s that changing the occasional light bulb and replacing the batteries in the smoke alarm are not considered home renovation, per se.
In truth, I am only exceptional when it comes to complaining. That, I feel, is my true talent. Sadly, it’s one that the world of reality television has not yet deemed fi t to recognize. All I can do is hope that they’ll come to their senses, even if the available evidence suggests that this is highly unlikely. But should any of the major networks fi nally pluck up the courage to com-mission a series of ‘Australian Cur-mudgeon’, I’ll be the fi rst in line to hu-miliate myself. Until then, perhaps I’ll let the other side of my nature wrest control and read a good book or two.

TWO rising stars of musical theatre set out to transport audiences to a world of glamour, wit and elegance when Sheridan Morley’s musical Noel and Gertie plays at Frankston Arts Centre on Thursday 20 June.
Noel and Gertie is crafted from diaries and letters between Noel Coward and Gertrude Law-rence and features songs, sketches and scenes from his most popular works.
Coward’s talent amused while holding a mir-ror up to the frailty of the human condition.
James Millar (Okl TWO rising stars of musi-cal theatre set out to transport audiences to a world of glamour, wit and elegance when Sheri-dan Morley’s musical Noel and Gertie plays at Frankston Arts Centre on Thursday 20 June.
Noel and Gertie is crafted from diaries and letters between Noel Coward and Gertrude Law-rence and features songs, sketches and scenes from his most popular works.
James Millar (Oklahoma, Jerry Springer: The Opera) and Lucy Maunder (Dr Zhivago, The Rocky Horror Show) play the two stars who formed a partnership on and off stage. They were elegant; they sang, danced, made jokes through clenched cigarette holders.
Noel Coward had a polished witticism for every occasion. He is known as the writer of Private Lives, Present Laughter, Blithe Spirit and Hay Fever, and as the composer of songs such as Mad About the Boy, I’ll See You Again, and Mad Dogs and Englishmen.
He was also an actor, director, producer, screenwriter, novelist, poet, cabaret artist, a skil-ful celebrity and a warm, enduring friend.
Actress Gertrude Lawrence triumphed on stage in the world premiere productions of Lady in the Dark and The King and I.
In Morley’s musical Millar, also a writer, and Maunder are directed by Nancye Hayes and ac-companied by Vincent Colagiuri on the piano.
“Noel and Gertie is highly entertaining, strangely familiar and surprisingly touching”, producer Christine Dunstan said. “If you love musical theatre, celebrity, gossip, glamour, the plays of Noel Coward; if you like shows like Downton Abbey, The Great Gatsby, Pride and Prejudice, Poirot, or Mary Poppins, then you’ll love Noel and Gertie. It’s a glittering evening of delight, wit, song and dance.”
Noel and Gertie is at Frankston Arts Centre, 1pm and 8pm (captioned performance) Thurs-day 20 June. Bookings: 9784 1060 or artscentre.frankston.vic.gov.au

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellySORRENTO shot to its right-ful place at the top of the Nepean League ladder after an emphatic victory over Rye on Saturday.
In the stand alone Nepean League match to complete Round Eight, the Sharks set the tone for the match in the opening quarter when it booted 7.7 to 1.1.
It was always going to be a tough assignment for Rye.
Despite the fi rst quarter on-slaught, Sorrento lost its way in front of goal and despite having 20 more scoring shots, only recorded a 18.21–129 to 10.9–69 victory.
The Demons are bleeding at the moment, their aspirations for the fi nals completely fi nished.
However, they pride themselves against Sorrento and wanted to make a good account for them-selves on their home deck.
With just two wins so far in a 16-game season, they are too far be-hind now to strike.
The Demons are on their knees and the Sharks were circling.
They would have been smelling the scent of blood at RJ Rowley Reserve for a fortnight and their intentions in the opening term were ominous.
The Demons came into the game in bad shape, despite the good form of a handful. That handful included the usual suspects in skipper Rhett Sutton, coach Ben Holmes, Matt Sibberas, Darren Booth, Adam Kirkwood and Matt McIndoe.
Leigh Morse had been very good in recent times and Brock Rawlin-son’s consistency has seen him a part of the best seven or eight play-ers this season.
On Saturday, Ben Winters-Kerr and Jai Lloyd popped up as a cou-ple of players who we hadn’t heard much from this season.
It was a good sign, despite the ten goal loss.
In the game Footy Record, it read; The big issue is the addional 14 players, who seem to be happy to ride on the coat tails of the play-ers just mentioned.
To be frank, if these players aren’t going out there to do their best to support the consistent per-formers, then they’re doing them-selves and their club a disservice.
Really, how can they look their leaders in the eye when they come off the ground?
The stinging words provided a bit of a spur but not enough!
There’s no problem at Sorrento with players not performing.
They have superstars on every line.
On Saturday, it was Leigh Tree-by, Mitch Nibbs and Guy Stringer who dominated.
James Hallahan was one of the best on the ground with four goals and Leigh Poholke and Ben Schwarze fi nished with three ma-jors each.
The Sharks are fl ying, however, I wonder how many people remem-ber where this club was at ten years ago.
The Sharks have been on the re-ceiving end a number of times over the years at the hands of Rye and they will have no doubt enjoyed a bit of paypack.
People tend to forget that some of their stars in Trevor Mattison, Grant Johnson (injured), Scott Cameron, Mitch Nibbs, Ben Mc-Cormack and Brent Kenyon went through their initial years as senior players getting belted every week.
Time may have healed some of those wounds but I’m sure they have long memories.
There was never a possibility of an upset in this match.
There was no hope of the Demons stopping the Sharks forwards.
In the middle, Rye was always going to struggle with Sorrento’s midfi eld depth.
While the middle is probably Rye’s strength, they needed to con-tend with Scotty Cameron, Treeby, Troy Schwarze, Hallahan, Stringer-Morris, Warner, Beetham and Dan-iel Grant.
In defence, Rye just didn’t have the forwards to stretch Sorrento’s back half, led by Guy Stringer, Ben McCormack, Chris Bagot and Mitch Nibbs.
Sorrento is a super side. Jon Croad and Josh Moore played in the reserves!
At least in the second half, the Demons gave their supporters something to cheer about with sev-en goals to Sorrento’s nine.

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyWHAT a season we are experiencing in Peninsula League.
After last Saturday’s Round 9 re-sults, there are seven teams all on fi ve wins and four losses. Just percentage separates second place from eighth.
Karingal is in second place after beating Seaford, who have dropped to eighth. Just two weeks ago, the Tigers were a game clear in second place.
Frankston YCW dropped its second game in three weeks, smashed to the tune of 50 points by Edithvale-Aspendale.
At the other end of the scale, Lang-warrin knocked over Bonbeach, who came into the round in outright sec-ond.
In a nutshell, this Peninsula League season is wide open.
As Edithvale-Aspendale coach Troy Shannon said after his side’s 16.14–110 to 8.12–60 win over Frankston YCW, “If you can play four quarters of football and all 22 players contribute, then you’re highly likely to win the game”.
The Eagles fi elded their strongest side for the season and it proved to be far too strong for the Stonecats.
After leading by 35 points at half time, YCW came back hard at the home side and got within three goals, however, the Eagles weathered the storm and went on to win very com-fortably.
Shannon said he and his charges were aware that the Stonecats would come hard at some point in time.
“That’s the thing about Frankston YCW, they have great belief regard-less of where they are in the match and always give themselves a chance,” Shannon said.
“We just had to weather the storm, keep our structures together and con-tinue to play as a collective group. I was really happy that we stood up to-gether.
“I am really confi dent in our ability to play really good football if every-one contributes. That’s what happened on the weekend – four quarters and 22 contributors.”
Shannon said he couldn’t be prouder of his vice captain, Steve Mannix.
“With the loss of Pat Poore, Stevey has really stepped it up and by gee he led well on Saturday,” Shannon said.
Brent Bowden booted four goals for the Eagles while Bailey Dale kicked his second bag of three in as many weeks. Dale played both Under-18s and seniors in his debut last week and backed it up with another splendid showing on Saturday.
Man mountain ruckman/forward Markham Johnson, who has played only a couple of games, was back from a hamstring injury and played a signifi cant role in the win. Timmy Mannix and Mullins were also key contributors.
Rhys Santon was the best of the Stonecats yet again, playing on the wing, while Dale Carroll and Brad Ulms also played well.
Mornington is still outside of the top fi ve, despite a great victory over Pines.
The Doggies led by as much as 32 points in the last quarter, how-ever, with just two minutes remain-ing on the clock, Pines skipper Jamie Messina had a shot for goal to put the Pythons in front. Thankfully for the Dogs, he missed.
Mornington key Jackson Calder converted at the other end with 60 sec-onds left in the match and the Doggies ran out 13.11–89 to 10.18–78 winners.
Mornington coach Stuart Seagar said it was a fantastic win in the end.
“We scraped home but considering how good a side Pines is, I was re-ally happy to get away with the four points,” Seagar said.
“Their (Pines) fi ghting qualities re-ally stood out and they certainly had their opportunities to win the game.”
Emilio Bitters was again a star for the Dogs, giving enormous run from half back and through the middle.
“Anthony Franchina was also good for us in that role and Daniel Moss is another player who is starting to play really consistent footy for us. Jack Dickson came back into the side and I thought he played his best game for the season,” Seagar said.
“For the second week in a row, I thought we played really good team footy.
“Week by week we are improving the way we play with one another and the results are starting to get a little more consistent.”
Calder booted three goals for the Dogs, as did Adrian Speedy, while Franchina and Moss booted two each.
Mt Eliza jumped into the fi ve for the fi rst time this season with a solid 20.16–136 to 9.9–63 victory against Chelsea.
After leading by just seven points at the major break, the Redlegs kicked 14 goals to four in the second half. Sam Gill, Ben Lean and Scott Lock-wood all fi nishing with three goals. Josh Norman was once again the best player on the ground.
Langwarrin won its second game of the season, coming from behind to beat Bonbeach.
The Kangas trailed by seven points at half time and eight points at three quarter time, however, booted seven goals to three in the fi nal quarter to win 17.6–108 to 14.7–91.
Luke Damon was outstanding for the winners with fi ve goals, while Shane Urbans dominated through the middle with four majors. Dylan Luxa and Scott Sienkiewicz provided plenty of run and drive, Dan Riley was solid in the back half and Jarryd Amalfi con-tinues to improve with every match.
Jackson Casey and Paul Rebeschini were the best of the Sharks, who re-main in third place on the table.
Karingal had a sensational fi nal quarter of football against Seaford and it was enough to get them over the line 14.17–101 to 12.12–84.
The Bulls kicked 8.4 to 1.4 in the second quarter and it looked as though it was going to be a comfortable victo-ry. Amazingly though, the Tigers came back with an eight goal third quarter, taking the lead at three quarter time. Eventually the Bulls steadied in the last to win.
David Hirst was the best player on the ground with three goals, while Michael Burke also contributed three majors. Justin Peckett and Troy Hoad were also fantastic contributors for the Bulls.
Dean Kemble and Jack Lonie kicked three each for the Tigers and were amongst the team’s best.

Peninsula League is wide open after nine roundsPeninsula League is wide open after nine rounds
VFLBy Casey FranklinON Saturday Werribee’s Ben Warren put the Dolphins to the sword with a scintillating nine goal performance. The Dolphins had plenty of positives to take away from the game, but again lapses in work rate cost them dearly.
It was a chilly day at Frankston Park, but the sun was shining and so were the Dolphin’s hopes at achiev-ing a third win for the season.
The Dolphins started well by earn-ing the fi rst few inside 50s and scor-ing their fi rst goal by Tom Purcell from a set shot.
The match quickly turned into an arm wrestle, with the ball moving from end to end with little impact on the scoreboard. At the 10 minute mark Ben Warren slotted his fi rst
goal of the day.From the outset it appeared that
Frankston were on the ball today and were prepared to work hard and move the ball quickly.
After a goal from Corey Buchan, Michael Loury began to dominate with a long set shot goal, quickly followed by a fantastic checkside goal to give the Dolphins a three goal lead at quarter time.
For the Dolphins Ziggie Alwan was fantastic off the half-back fl ank, easily winning more ball than any-one else on the ground. Also defend-er Scott Simpson was taking some great contested marks. Other good players were Luke Potts and Corey Buchan.
The second quarter started the way the fi rst ended with Michael Loury taking a contested mark inside 50, he quickly kicked his third of the
day. Werribee however were quick to reply with Ben Ross goaling from a free kick.
For the remainder of the fi rst half, both sides played their absolute best, which turned the match into a shootout. Khan Haretuku cleverly intercepted a Werribee kick out and kicked an easy goal.
Just over a minute later, Frankston’s exciting pocket rocket Sam Lloyd provided the goal of the game when he snapped a goal facing the points while being tackled from an acute angle and it gave Frankston their biggest lead of the match of 33 points.
It was then time for Werribee to re-spond and they did with a long bomb from ex-Brisbane player Scott Clou-ston. Soon after for the fi rst time of the day Werribee kicked consecutive goals with Ben Warren’s second.
With Loury on fi re, the Tigers start-ed double-teaming him which then forced the Dolphins to fi nd alterna-tive avenues to goal. One of those was their exciting youngster Jason Pon-gracic who steadied the Dolphins.
For a 5-7 minute period the Dol-phins completely faded out and Weri-bee showed no mercy kicking three unanswered goals. A highlight was a spectacular high mark from Tiger Ben Brown.
Late in the quarter Frankston stead-ied with goals from Tom Purcell and Michael Loury (fourth goal), but Wer-ribee’s Ben Warren kicked his third goal for the quarter to get the Tigers within 12 points.
Despite Frankston’s fantastic inten-sity in the fi rst half, the third undid all that work and gave Werribee an un-beatable lead.
The Tigers kicked seven unan-
swered goals to start the third term and the disappointing fact was Frankston looked completely fl at footed and their effort dropped drastically. The best of those goals was kicked by Levi Green-wood who weaved in and out of traffi c to kick the Tigers second.
At the 27 minute mark Michael Loury kicked his fi fth to break the drought, but it proved irrelevant as Ben Brown replied two minutes later.
Fade outs for extended periods of time have been a really bad habit for the Dolphins this season, it’s cost them at least two matches already and who knows how many more.
The last quarter started promising with Williams and Chris Irving kick-ing the fi rst two, but Werribee put a stop to that, killing the game by scor-ing four goals.
The Final score was Frankston 14.8–92 to Werribee 20.11–131.
