By Mike HastMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire made archaeological history last week when one of its own employees con-ducted the fi rst survey for a cultural heritage management plan (CHMP).

A CHMP is a report of the potential impact of a proposed activity on Abo-riginal cultural heritage, required un-der state law.

Adam Edwards Magennis qualifi ed as an archaeologist late last year after studying for three years full time at La Trobe University.

He is believed to be the fi rst Aborigi-

nal archaeologist in Victoria and the fi rst working in local government.

Mr Magennis and a small team on Thursday started surveying an area of Aboriginal signifi cance at Mt Eliza near the Port Phillip end of Daveys Bay Rd.

The shire is about to replace the cliff top walking track that disappeared when a large section of cliff collapsed in August 2010.

The new track further inland will be built through a registered midden site.

Mr Magennis, 37, a Boonwurrung man who lives in Mornington with his wife and two young children, said de-

velopment in culturally sensitive land-scapes “can cause signifi cant harm to Aboriginal cultural heritage”.

“A Cultural Heritage Management Plan is a way of protecting and man-aging Aboriginal cultural heritage with the involvement of registered Aborigi-nal land councils,” he said.

Mr Magennis grew up in Bayswater North and attended Ringwood Second-ary College from years 7-10 and Box Hill Tech for year 11, where he studied graphic communications in 1991, the fi rst year of VCE in Victoria.

He became a qualifi ed stonemason and bricklayer in 1995, and worked at

various sites around the eastern sub-urbs. He was only the third Aboriginal man in Victoria to become a qualifi ed bricklayer.

His La Trobe course has included instruction from some of Australia’s leading academics including Dr Anita Smith, Professor David Frankel and Dr David Johnson.

He has delved into historical archae-ology, Pleistocene archaeology (which ended 10,000 years ago), Victorian Aboriginal archaeology and archaeo-logical theory.

Mr Magennis said there were 800 registered Aboriginal sites on the

Morn ington Peninsula. Many are near water, but many have been destroyed since Europeans arrived on the penin-sula in the 1830s. Adam Magennis is offering to re-cord or repatriate Aboriginal artefacts held by peninsula residents. “I’m not intending to reclaim artefacts, but have been involved in two repatriations and there may be other people who want to do the same. At the least there may be people who are happy to have their collections recorded for posterity.” Call Mornington Peninsula Shire’s com munity development department on 5950 1685 for details.

Continued from Page 1A contractor has been test drilling to

gauge the depth that pylons will need to be sunk into the sea fl oor.

In May, Graeme Davis, Parks Victo-ria’s chief ranger for Port Phillip and Western Port, said work to replace the outer section would likely start in Au-gust and be completed by late 2014.

The News understands work will not start this month.

This stage will cost about $13.5 mil-lion and will include wave screens on both sides.

Mornington Yacht Club’s Kevin Donnellan said the new pier and its

wave screens would protect about 70 per cent of the harbour.

Providing 100 per cent protection will require the construction of a new “arm” connected to the end of the ex-isting pier.

There is no money budgeted for this and how and exactly where it will be constructed remains up in the air.

Some protection: Contractors lower the last of 74 huge concrete wave screen panels into position last Thursday on the harbour side of Mornington pier. Next stage is to replace the outer, 75-metre part of the pier. Picture: Scott Crowe

By Keith PlattMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has been swamped by calls to help fi nance community events.

Each year the shire invites not-for-profi t groups to submit requests for money, but the amount set aside in the budget falls well short of what is needed.

Grant requests from 96 applications came to $646,220, while just $122,500 was set aside in the budget.

Council has now agreed to fi nance 79 events – including regular “icon”

events – and has added $21,000 to the budget.

However, details of grants have been ruled “commercial in confi -dence” and will not be released to the public, des pite the events being run by not-for-profi t incorporated community groups.

In 2011, the shire agreed to pay $25,000 – plus offi cers’ time and shire resources – for the next three years to-wards running the Arthurs Seat Bay 2 Bay Ride, an event promoted as help-ing the Epilepsy Foundation of Victo-ria.

Riders paid $55-$99 to enter the ride and were encouraged to donate or be sponsored to raise money for the foun-dation. No part of their entry fee or the shire’s contribution went towards the charity, which received $6500 from ride organiser Cycling Events Dow-nunder.

Councillors have been told that the shire is second only to the City of Mel-bourne among Victorian municipali-ties when it comes to hosting events and festivals.

“These events range from small com munity gatherings to larger state-

wide and international celebrations, all of which play an important cel-ebratory role in the cultural life of the Mornington Peninsula, and in lo-cal community development,” acting team leader of community and special events Luke Phillips stated in a report.

He said the chosen events would be backed by the shire for three consecu-tive years.

The events were fi nanced separately from “larger statewide and internation-al celebrations” such as Australia Day, Seniors Week, Children’s Week, Anzac Day and the Pet and Pony Expo.

“Every community, it seems, has something to celebrate if offered the opportunity and the tools with which to create their own event,” Mr Phillips said.

“These community activities can help provide the social glue that con-nects community members together. For some people, these events also help alleviate social isolation and provide safe opportunities for contact with others.

“Furthermore, many community events provide low-cost or free family entertainment and activities.”

By Keith PlattCOUNCILLORS in Frankston and on the Morning-ton Peninsula are likely to come under state govern-ment pressure to give more help to businesses.

Legislative changes may also make it easier for commercial tenants to vote.

The need to increase support for business at a municipal level is strongly recommended in a report by the Economic Development and Infra-structure Committee, led by Hastings MP Neale Burgess.

The committee was formed in 2012 but gained its fi rst burst of publicity last month when it was revealed its inquiries included a trip to Europe, taking in Manchester, London, Amsterdam and Berlin.

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw – under investiga-tion by the police and another government com-mittee for allegedly misusing his taxpayer-funded vehicle – and Mr Burgess were photographed in a Manchester restaurant.

The committee released its report at the end of July and Mr Shaw issued a news release summa-rising some of its main fi ndings on 1 August.

As chair of the committee, the government has also issued a news release quoting Mr Burgess, although as of last Friday it had not been emailed to this newspaper and was not on his website.

The government release said the committee “ex-amined the range of economic development ini-tiatives being carried out in Victoria and how all levels of government interact with businesses and communities to achieve strong local economies”.

It quoted Mr Burgess saying “the report aims to strengthen the Victorian economy by improv-ing the way all levels of government engage in economic development strategies”.

“Although some councils are performing well when it comes to economic development, it was clear that many don’t consider it a priority,” Mr Burgess stated.

“Local councils are seen by many businesses as

another level of red tape, rather than an avenue for support services.”

Among the report’s 43 recommendations is one calling for legislation to make it a “statutory obli-gation for economic development to be a priority of the Municipal Association of Victoria”.

The committee said it was concerned that none of the MAV’s eight committees related specifi -cally to economic development.

During its deliberations, the committee was told by Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hoven-den that community satisfaction surveys showed people believed economic development pro-grams run by local government “have in the past been poor”.

“They are critical of the performance because, in part, they do not understand the importance of why local government is involved in economic development...”

The report said the “timid approach” toward economic development by Victorian councils was in “stark contrast to the robust and focused approach” of Manchester and London.

Mr Shaw said he supported all 43 of the com-mittee’s recommendations.

“I am proud to have been involved with the de-velopment of this report, which has a focus on the need for stronger support for our local busi-nesses,” he said.

“It is also worth noting that while some local councils are performing well when it comes to economic development, many do not consider it a priority.

“As a business owner and manager for 20 years in Frankston and now as the local member for Frankston, I would like to see the benefi t of these recommendations acted upon so that our local businesses receive the encouragement and sup-port they deserve.”

The report is at www.parliament.vic.gov.au/edic

MORNINGTON resident Albert Fea ther’s pro-posal for small buses to connect the Main St with the town’s other shopping centres has generated support.

Mr Feather fl oated the idea two weeks ago in The News (“Call for around town bus”, 23/7/13).

His idea is for small buses running every hour with a suggested route starting at the library near the bay end of Main St, then to Centro shopping centre, up Barkly St, Beleura Hill Rd and Shan-don St to Bungower Rd, stopping at Bunnings and other stores in the Homemaker Centre.

The bus would run up to Racecourse Rd and down Mornington-Tyabb Rd to Masters, then Bentons Square shopping centre in Mornington East and back to Main St.

It would stop inside the stores’ car parks rather than dropping people nearby.

Mr Feather said he had spoken to staff at Bun-nings, Offi ceworks and Masters. They were en-thusiastic about the proposal and thought they could obtain permission for buses to come into their car parks.

The plan also has support of Mornington Pen-insula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association.

The Feathers jumped on a bus at the new inter-change in Barkly St recently to go to the Home-maker Centre and Bunnings.

“The 46-seat bus drove around the town with just my wife Mary and me on board,” he said. “With no passengers to drop off or pick up, the bus was running ahead of time.”

Mr Feather said one email he had received came from a resident who had visited Canada last year and been impressed with the local bus service in Quebec.

Around town bus Around town bus could be electriccould be electric

The city has electric buses that travel 100km on one charge. It costs Quebec $5 a day to run each bus, which carries about 15 passengers comfortably. The standard fare per person is $1 whatever the length of journey.

The buses are made in Italy and cost about $400,000 each.

Mr Feather’s correspondent wrote: “Since see-ing this form of transport, I have often thought how good it would be to have a network operat-ing within every municipality to support existing bus and train services.

“This would eliminate some private car use. If the authorities are really serious about global warming and reduction of carbon, they would surely see this as very benefi cial to the atmos-phere and environment as a whole.

“At last I have found someone with long-term thinking and similar views, rather than the short-term thinking of councillors and politicians.”

Mr Feather said a circulating bus would ben-efi t the elderly, people with disabilities including sight problems, young people and others.

WITH its distinctive baby-like cry and playful nature, the little corella (Cacatua sanguinea) can be heard and seen in large numbers all over the Mornington Peninsula.

Large fl ocks are often seen grazing on nature strips or fi lling gum trees with their noisy antics.

One place you don’t often see these comical parrots is in a traffi c light.

A pair of the pink and white birds

was spotted canoodling in the amber section of the traffi c lights at the en-trance to Bunnings opposite Morning-ton Secondary College on the Nepean Highway in Mornington last week.

They played in and around the lights for about 20 minutes, appearing to be testing each of the three differ-ent coloured lights. They eventually settled on the amber light.

JUSTICES of the Peace at police station signing centres on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston and Carrum Downs can witness documents destined for the Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

They also can witness affi davits, statutory declarations, power of attorney documents and wills.

Ian Lyons of the Mornington Peninsula branch of Royal Victorian Association of Honorary Justices said JPs are authorised to witness international documents.

“The program reduces the administrative

burden on police at signing centres,” he said.“The free service is mostly offered by senior

citizens who have retired from the workforce and have been sworn into the offi ce of JP by the Chief Magistrate.”

Signing centres are at these police stations:Mornington – Monday 11am-2pm and Thursday 11am-2pm.Rosebud – Thursday 11am-2pm.Hastings – Wednesday 5-7pm.Frankston – Monday to Friday 10am-3pm and Thursday 4.30-6.30pm.Carrum Downs – Tuesday 5-7pm.

POPULAR Mornington doctor John de Berri Johnston Dade has died at the age of 81.

Dr Dade retired in 2007 after 27 years as a general practitioner in the town as well as club doctor with Mornington Football Club, where he was No. 1 ticket holder.

The physician migrated to Australia in 1958 from the United Kingdom and worked at Dar-win Hospital before moving to Benalla in central Victoria where he served as mayor and won a bravery award from the Royal Humane Society of Australia for helping save a trapped miner.

He moved to Mornington in 1970 where he and his wife Freya, a painter, raised seven children.

Dr Dade also helped raise the three children of his second wife Juliette and two grandchildren after the death of both their parents, John Bell and Juliet Dade.

Dr Dade worked in Bougainville, a province of Papua New Guinea, in the 1980s for about eight years where he helped build a hospital.

Last year, Dr Dade published his autobiogra-phy, The Story of a Fortunate English Boy, which included when he was evacuated to the United States at the age of eight in 1940 as Nazi Ger-many threatened the UK.

Farewell to popular GP

During four long years away from his family, his father Harry wrote letters to his son, later published in a book called To His Refugee Son.

Dr Dade said his book was a companion work to his father’s book.

The funeral of Dr Dade was held in Mt Martha last Friday.

Fanciful referendumFanciful referendumIT is really disappointing to see Mornington Peninsula Shire Council using $20,000 of ratepayers’ money to fund the “yes” case in the referendum on including local government in Australia’s Constitution.

All a successful “yes” case would deliver is more power and control over local government to Canberra.

It is fanciful to think that giving more power to Canberra will result in more funding for councils.

Martin Dixon, Nepean MP

Vote yes for councilsVote yes for councilsLOCAL government is not recognised in the Constitution; it is merely a “play thing” of state government.

During the Whitlam era when a simi-lar referendum was held, as a coun-cillor with the City of Mordialloc (nine and a half years), I proposed that local government be recognised in the Constitution. The motion was soundly defeated.

The amalgamation of councils in 1994, which took “local” out of local government, could possibly have been averted had recognition been in place.

Small municipalities in the bayside area shared resources; the Kennett state government’s argument about “eco no-mies of scale” was not warranted in this instance.

Recently, Mr Kennett during a dis-cussion on radio station 3AW, indicated he was happy with the outcome of council amalgamations and went on to say that we are overgoverned and that state governments should be dispensed with (not bad from a former Premier).

Our neighbour New Zealand has large local government areas operating under the federal umbrella.

State governments should recognise

local government or support the federal government in its endeavour to do so.

Local government needs validity.Ian Lyons, Safety Beach

Don’t repeat errorsDon’t repeat errorsCONCERNING the proposed rubbish tip site at Dromana on the Arthurs Seat escarpment, it’s to be hoped we don’t repeat mistakes of the past.

The former landfi ll site on Truemans Rd on the edge of Tootgarook Swamp had no liner to stop ground water entering it. There is still an Envi ron-ment Protection Authority abate ment notice on the site. It has feral animals spreading noxious weeds and preying on endangered fauna in the swamp.

Considering Mornington Peninsula Shire is within a United Nations bio-sphere reserve (the only urban area in a biosphere reserve in Australia) and the shire’s sustainability policy, we should look at alternatives such as New Zea land’s disposer-pays system for rubbish.

I would hate see Arthurs Seat State Park subjected to the same fate as the former tip site at Toot garook Swamp.

Cameron Brown, president Save Tootgarook Swamp

Vale Alan HuntVale Alan HuntALAN Hunt will be a continuing inspi-ration, along with the late Sir Rupert Hamer, in whose governments he served, for their legacy in protecting Melbourne’s green wedges and other precious parts of our environment and heritage, and for their advocacy of a Liberalism that was not about being liberal with developers.

In 2007, Mr Hunt spoke at a pub-lic rally organised by green wedge supporters on the Mornington Penin-sula to oppose the proposed Chateau Elan conference centre next to Greens

Bush in Main Ridge and actively opposed the subdivision of the former Myer-owned Norman Lodge property next to the former Ansett property at Mt Eliza. Neither have gone ahead so far, although Norman Lodge was approved for a two- instead of four-lot subdivision.

It is good to see Alan Hunt’s son Greg Hunt, the federal Liberal environment spokesman, continuing his tradition. Mr Hunt’s advice helped block the pro-po sed Ventnor development on Phillip Island.

Let us hope the advice of Alan Hunt’s former staffer Geoff Underwood, as chair of the State Ministerial Advisory Committee on planning zones, will help protect green wedges from the urban uses with which they are threatened in the current state government planning zones review.

No protectionNo protectionEVERYWHERE community groups are being outraged at planned destruc-tion of their community at the hands of government (East–West tunnel, Port of Hastings) and corporations (Mc Don-alds at Tecoma, etc).

It reminds me of Derek Jensen’s 2006 book, Endgame Vol 1: The Prob-lem with Civilization, where he says: “Surely by now there can be few here who still believe the purpose of government is to protect us from the destructive activities of corporations. At last most of us must understand that the opposite is true: that the primary purpose of government is to protect those who run the economy from the outrage of injured citizens.” So true.

From my years of campaigning to save various environmental assets, I’ve come to the conclusion that our envi-

ronmental laws have been so degraded by powerful vested interests lobbying government for so long that such laws now merely serve to aid developers and development, and environmental destruction.

Until we address the issue of tradi-tional economic growth and its reliance on ever-expanding population, we will be having the same arguments over and over trying to save what we love.

We need to oppose unchecked “tra-di tional” economic and population growth. There is information at www.population.org.au

Whose revenue lost?Whose revenue lost?AFTER reading “Revenue lost to the sea – Clean Ocean” (The News, 25/6/13), I wondered who actually owns this valuable resource – the 400 mega litres of Class A water pumped daily into the ocean from the Gunnamatta outfall?

As a peninsula resident and customer of South East Water, I buy water, pay for sewage collection and treatment, and pay for the disposal of waste.

If this Class A water is actually the waste I pay for, I along with all other South East Water customers could and probably should be free to collect it before it’s pumped wastefully into the ocean.

Does South East Water understand we can no longer afford to be so waste-ful with this valuable resource and we cannot continue to cause further damage to marine environments?

Road congestionRoad congestionTWO major road accidents on Friday 26 July were reported in The News last week (“Highway horror”, 30/7/13) and

on that day there was a nasty accident at the intersection of Yuilles and Morn-ington-Tyabb roads at about 11am.

Two vehicles were badly damaged and had to be towed away. The inter-section was brought to a near standstill for a long time with fi re trucks, police and tow trucks in attendance.

Also that day there was an accident at the intersection of Racecourse and Mornington-Tyabb roads.

I am grave ly troubled by the build-up of traffi c on Mornington area roads.

On many days each week, traffi c is heavy along Nepean Highway, Morn-ington-Tyabb Rd and Bungower Rd. I observe near-misses day in, day out.

This matter was raised at the Briars Ward community meeting on 20 July. All three councillors were in attend-ance (Bev Colomb, Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon) along with shire CEO Michael Kennedy and senior offi cers.

The shire and VicRoads should be urgently undertaking a review of the Mornington road system, seeking com ments, assessing traffi c levels, and observing the real problem roads and intersections such as Wilsons Rd, Strachans Rd, Tanti Ave, Pentecost Rd, Yuilles Rd and Mornington-Tyabb Rd intersection, Bungower Rd and Ne-pean Highway intersection, and Ben-tons Square shopping centre, to name the most dangerous.

From what I observe, councillors, shire offi cers and Mornington MP David Morris seemingly have no re-gard for what is a daily nightmare for residents who travel on roads in and around Mornington.

Do residents share my concerns re-garding the state of our road network?

OPPOSITION politicians were out in force on Wednesday, using a meeting at Seaford RSL to announce their policy on superannuation pen-sions.

If elected, the Coalition would make sure veterans received a “fairer deal,” Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said.

Sixteen veterans were at the RSL for an-nouncement by Opposition leader Tony Abbott who was backed up by Mr Billson, veterans’ affairs spokesman Michael Ronaldson and de-fence personnel spokesman Stuart Robert.

Describing the planned indexation of veterans’ superannuation as a “pledge”, Mr Abbott said the Coalition would “keep faith with those who have served and protected Australia. Under a

Coalition government, Defence Forces Retire-ment Benefi ts and Defence Force Retirement and Death Benefi ts superannuants aged 55 and over will have their superannuation pensions indexed in the same way as aged and service pensions,” Mr Abbott said.

He accused Prime Minister Kevin Rudd of breaking his word by not providing fairness for military pensions after being elected in 2007.

“The Coalition will ensure military superan-nuation pensions are indexed in the same way as age pensions,” Mr Billson said.

“If it’s inadequate to lift Centrelink pensions by just the consumer price index, then it’s even less fair to apply only that index to those who have risked their lives for our country.”

Veterans’ promise: Seaford RSL president Wayne Fisher, Bruce Billson, Tony Abbott and Michael Ronaldson at the announcement of a “fairer deal” for people receiving military superannuation pensions.

Should We Fear God?“Fear God & Keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil”. (Eccl 11:13+14 Bible). What is the fear of God? Does that mean He just lives to punish all us sinners? NO NO NO, in fact the opposite. It’s by having a healthy reverence & fear of God that we come into receiving from Him all that we need & desperately want in our lives. Love, Joy, peace, freedom, forgiveness, healing & strength. In fact life itself....to it’s fullest experience & satisfaction. God is doing His outmost to lead us & offer us the right advice & direction. It’s us who are self centred, deceitful & untrue & ungodly in our ways....Then we have the nerve to blame God for the outcome & consequences of our ways, attitudes & wrong decisions. God want’s to free us from our own driving destructive force within us & the very nature of mankind. He knows that if we live to please ourselves & not take notice & obey His commandments & advice to us, then we will destroy ourselves in this life & also pay the very dear price in the life to come. God sent His son Jesus into the world to pay the price for us & through His sacrifice we are offered freedom, atonement & pardon. However we need to believe & receive that free gift of God’s forgiveness & salvation. We need to acknowledge our sins & change our ways to please & serve Him in obedience to what He knows is right for us. Namely, love

one another, as this covers all God’s commandments. And most of all, love Him! His great loving heart toward us offers us a way that is right, & the benefits are for eternity.God is just, fair & holy. He requires us to be also. Isn’t it time? Come to God!

By Chris BrennanINDIA Jones is on a crusade – the Monash University biomedical science student is giving time to help at Frankston Hospital’s emergency department.

In her role as a hospital volunteer, Ms Jones helps members of the community through what is usually a time of considerable distress, providing practical and emotional support to pa-tients and their families attending the hospital’s busy emergency department.

However, as a young person and aspiring doc-tor, the 21-year-old is somewhat unusual among the many members of the community volunteer-ing through Peninsula Health’s Assistance and Care in Emergency (ACE) program, with most tending to be from older generations.

Peninsula Health has more than 800 volunteers involved in a wide range of programs in the organisation. Many are in the ACE program at Frankston Hospital. Only 10 are aged under 25.

Ms Jones said she had been thinking about how best to give back to the community and hopes her efforts will encourage other young people to do likewise.

“All my friends have volunteered or con-tributed to their community at some point, so I thought it was my turn,” she said.

“There are many young people volunteering for a wide range of organisations these days – we are a socially and environmentally conscious generation who wants to give back. However, people often go to the larger, well-known organisations.

India Jones’ India Jones’ emergency emergency crusadecrusade

Emergency ACE: India Jones is paving the way for young volunteers.

“Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I wanted to give back to a smaller, local organisation. Frank ston Hospital is perfect for me being just down the road.”

With a keen interest in cardiology and ob-stetrics, Ms Jones plans to further her studies and become a doctor, and said the experience she had gained volunteering in the hospital was highly valuable.

“Being in a hospital setting has given me the opportunity to gain some hands-on experience and to witness how things actually run in a hospital,” she said.

But gaining experience was certainly not the main reason for her choosing to volunteer.

“It’s really rewarding to be able to sit with people during their time of need and distress. Sometimes a friendly face and someone to talk

with can make all the difference.”Peninsula Health’s community participation

program manager Elaine Hillis said the role played by volunteers in the organisation was vi-tal and she hoped the example set by India Jones would inspire other young people to consider ways they could help the community.

“India is a great ambassador, raising the profi le of the ACE program,” Ms Hillis said.

“Peninsula Health is privileged to have such a diversity of volunteers in so many different roles, all bringing their individual skill and experience.

“Consumers and carers who use Frankston and Rosebud emergency departments benefi t from the invaluable emotional and practical support provided by the volunteers on a daily basis.”

MRS Emu is furious. The scales have dropped from her eyes with a re sound ing clang.

She has been duped, deceived and double-dealt, she hisses at her spouse. And all for a supposed saving at the fuel bowser.

Emu was lying low until the storm passed, but she has tracked him down.

“All these months,” she tells her cowering spouse in strangled tones, far more in anger than in sorrow, “I have been shopping at (supermarket name deleted) so I can get our fuel cheaper with their discount dockets.

“Only to fi nd we have been duped!” Her voice rises in a startling crescendo on the last word. Glasses rattle on the shelves. “We?” Emu notes he has been dragged into the fray.

“The supermarket (which she will never patron-ise again, at least un til next week) charges more for other items on its shelves to cover the cost of the fuel discount. I’ve been duped!” she thunders, a woman dan ge r ously scorned. A glass topples. Any supermarket manager would be in terminal peril were they to enter Chez Emu at this moment.

Emu decides this is not the time to remind her of the warnings he has been gently issuing for months about free-market retail practices – a sort-of Newton’s First Law of Retailing, which is that any price cutting must be accompanied by an equal and opposite price increase.

An unequal price increase can be even more profi table than one that achieves a mere price balance, muses Emu after his spouse has gone off, spluttering and muttering, to scrutinise her supermarket receipt and decide where she will now shop.

He has been listening to radio, hear ing com-petition watchdog con cerns – how quickly they become aware of dodgy practices – that this fuel discounting is endangering non-dis counting su-permarkets and inde pendent fuel stations.

Emu sets great store in caveat emptor – let the buyer beware – in his commercial dealings, knowing the increased caveatii facing incautious

emptorii in modern capitalism.He had heard a caller to talkback radio, re-

sponding to the competition watchdog’s con-cerns, relate his lucky escape from a parsnip price rort at his supermarket.

Explaining how the emporium pro bably clawed back the fuel discount, the caller told of parsnips on its shelves priced at $11.99 a kilo. A bit high for a root vegetable, he thought.

Later, investigating the wares of the shopping centre’s nearby greengrocer, he found the same humble vegetable, delicious when roasted with lamb, at a mere $3.99 a kilo.

Suddenly interested, Emu sauntered to the fam-ily jalopy and plucked a receipt from the fl oor.

Fifty dollars had bought 34.51 litres of distillate at 144.9 cents a litre. Discount: 4 cents a litre, or $1.38, round ed up to $1.40.

Emu then calculated parsnips at $11.99 a kilo as opposed to $3.99 a kilo.

The supermarket parsnips were $8 dearer. De-duct the $1.40 discount from that $8, and the su-permarket’s fuel price discount has actually cost Mr Emu – or “we”, as she put it – a not inconsid-erable $6.60.

Emu also pondered the subsidy super markets were getting from shop pers who did not have a car. And what would happen to fuel discounts if independent fuel retailers were put out of busi-ness by the supermarket “competition”.

You can take Emu’s word on the maths; no ca-veat necessary. His razor-edged actuarial mind surpasses that of many an accountant and book-keeper in the matter of domestic management.

But he decides to let Mrs Emu cool down be-fore explaining it to her. Best to let battlefi eld smoke clear before collecting the wounded.

PENINSULA Country Golf Club's annual charity drive is set to tee off again, with members of the public invited to take the opportunity to enjoy a day on the exclusive private course while chipping in for a good cause.

About 300 guests are expected to attend this year’s Combined Charity Golf Day on Saturday 7 September, with funds raised going to Peninsula Health, Peninsula Legacy, the Rotary Club of Frankston North, and Menzies Caring for Kids.

Peninsula Health has been involved in the event from the start, with funds raised going to Frankston Hospital.

The entry fee is $75 a person. Registration will be held from 7am and 12 noon on Saturday 7 September, with shotgun starts teeing off from 7.45am and 1.15pm.

firelevy.vic.gov.au

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy.On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system.

Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value.

All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services.

GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year.

NEWS DESK

By Chris BrennanA MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire street sweeper found himself at the centre of a media frenzy last week after spotting a stolen luxury car in a Somerville car park.

But it was the car itself that was the real focus of attention, an Audi R8 su-percar valued at more than $200,000 that had been stolen a day earlier from a home 60 kilometres away in Kew.

Police had appealed to members of the public to keep an eye out for the distinctive car, which had been stolen from the garage of a home in Wimba Ave, Kew, about noon on Monday, af-ter thieves stumbled across the keys during a burglary.

When street sweeper Chris Cotter spotted the metallic blue sports car in a car park on Blacks Camp Rd just after 7am on Tuesday, he quickly worked out it must be the stolen vehicle that had been the subject of multiple media reports over the previous 24 hours.

“I just knew straight away that it was well out of place – it was probably worth more than a lot of houses in the area,” Mr Cotter said. “I heard about it on the radio just as I was driving into the car park and I assumed that if it was in the news, it had to be worth a fair bit of money, so I jumped on the phone to the police straight away.

“But I didn’t realise just how much it was actually worth – I’ve just built my house for less than that.”

Mr Cotter, 36, who lives in Clyde North, later called the radio station on which he had heard about the stolen Audi to report that he had found it.

He was soon on the airwaves him-self, fi rst on 3AW then channels 9 and

Stolen $200,000 supercar creates media storm

10, while newspaper and online media reports around the country were satu-rated with reports of the “keen-eyed street cleaner” who had located the stolen sports car.

“It was a bit crazy there for a while with all the media attention,” Mr Cot-ter said. “I just expected to report it and that would be the end of it. But it just turned into this whirlwind. You wouldn’t think a stolen car would cre-ate so much hype, but I guess it wasn’t just any old ordinary car.”

The 2008 Audi R8, which is powered by a 4.2-litre V8 engine, retailed at the time of purchase for about $300,000.

Mr Cotter said he’d seen the car reviewed on Top Gear. “They said it was an awesome car. It’s cheaper than a Lamborghini or Ferrari but just as powerful and drives just as well.”

Detective Senior Constable Trevor

Van Styn of Boroondara crime inves-tigation unit said the car’s owner was relieved it had been found but was still devastated by the theft of many other valuable items from his home.

“He’s relieved to get it back, of course, but he’s actually had other items removed from his house like watches, jewellery, laptops and that sort of thing that were of even greater sentimental value to him,” he said. “Plus he’s still pretty upset about having his home violated and all his personal items having been gone through.”

Detective Van Styn said the car did not appear damaged but was still being inspected by insurance assessors be-fore it was returned to the owner. The car had been kept in pristine condition, and had only about 5000 kilometres on the clock.

Clean sweep:Mornington Peninsula Shire street sweeper driver Chris Cotter, right, discovered the stolen Audi R8 in a Somerville car park on Tuesday morn-ing. It was dirty but showed no obvious signs of damage. The car was due to be returned to its Kew owner after being stolen on Monday during a burglary.Pictures: Gary Sissons

IT’S

LAST week the Australian Tax Offi ce received 814,000 returns including 753,000 2013 year returns between 17 July and 23 July.During the same period, the tax offi ce issued 484,000 refunds with a value of $1.09 billion for 2013 year returns.For the week 15 July to 21 July, ATO received 28,580 calls from tax practitioners and 223,367 calls from the general community.The tax offi ce has detected and stopped 13,818 income tax returns suspected of being fraudulent or of containing incorrect claims.As at 23 July, about 194 tax returns have been released following cross-checking and validation against third party information, for example, payment summary data received from employers.About 13,700 tax returns are being held for further review (including returns received prior to July 2013). Compliance action has started on 3937 tax returns. There are 5985 returns on hold awaiting payment summary data to be lodged by employers.ATO has received 700,210 Windows electronic lodgments and 90,166 Macintosh electronic lodgments.E-tax allows people to download information from fi nancial institutions, employers and a range of government agencies including Centrelink and Medicare into their tax return.

Taxpayers can subscribe to ATO alerts service in e-tax and the offi ce will send an email or SMS messages when new or updated information becomes available for taxpayers to load into their e-tax return.Some tax returns may take longer than others to fi nalise.The most common reasons why a return may be delayed include: ATO requires more information or needs to cross-check data with Centrelink or the Child Support Program (it can take up to three days to check information with another government agency).

Healthy Living

By Keirsten Wallace, manager Fernwood MorningtonFERNWOOD Mornington proudly sponsored the Bay Run and also participated with a team of members and staff in the four-kilometre walk and 4km and 8km run.

Sunday 28 July began with an 8am start. It was a beautiful morning and great beginning to the day.

Personal bests were achieved and it was the fi rst fun run for many of our members.

Members trained hard for the event and achieved great results.

The atmosphere was fantastic and our mem-bers were excited to achieve such great results with their training motivating them to challenge themselves for the next challenge.

Running up Beleura Hill was hard work but there were participants encouraging those who were struggling, giving the event a great com-munity spirit

Fernwood Mornington contributed to help the Bay Run raise more than $20,000 for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, the highest amount of money raised in the history of the event with hundreds more participants than last year.

FOR more than 20 years, Dr Ange Marinakis has been working in emergency medicine at The Valley Private Hospital.

Part of the challenge, which he enjoys, is not knowing what will come through the door. One moment he might be treating a little old lady with pneumonia, or a child with their fi rst broken bone, only to be confronted seconds later with an unfortunate person in full cardiac arrest.

The day is one of dealing with patients, relatives and their friends, in what, for many, are often life impacting events – the day they broke a leg, had a heart attack, or had their appendix out. The day they lost a loved one, or had their fi rst stitches as a young kid. A day full of fears, tears, pain and emotion. A day of being pulled in multiple directions, constantly prioritising what to do next.

The person he has just sutured following a laceration is often totally unaware that Dr Marinakis is orchestrating the care of several other patients at the same time, some of whom have life-threatening presentations.

The challenge is to make sure that each and every patient feels they are being cared for in the best, most professional and caring way, he said.

A day of beeps and tings from monitors, overhead emergency announcements, people chasing you for this and that, dealing with pain and tears. Reassuring, suturing, resuscitating, plastering, listening, talking to relatives, arranging the best medical treatment possible for patients who put their health and occassionally their lives and always their trust in your hands.

A day dealing with people’s emotions. A day of adrenaline and challenge.

A day that he has repeated in various forms but the same fl avour for more than two decades. He looks forward to every time he puts his

stethoscope around his neck and rolls his sleeves up for another round.

A day by the end of which brings a feeling of satisfaction in knowing that he’s made a positive difference to so many lives.

A day followed by rest, occasionally exhaustion and, after a well-earned sleep, preparation to do it all again.

A day that he feels privileged to have been of service to so many, in a hospital that is rapidly becoming one of the Australia’s fi nest medical facilities with state-of-the-art equipment and expert specialist medical support, available 24 hours a day.

Squizzy Taylor: the Chelsea connectionSquizzy Taylor: the Chelsea connectionBy Neil WalkerTHE latest series in the TV show Un-derbelly focuses on the 1920s life and crimes of Melbourne criminal Leslie “Squizzy” Taylor – a feared thug with a reputation for violence who amassed a fortune in ill-gotten gains from sly-grog selling, two-up schools, illegal book-making, extortion and prostitution.

These aspects of Squizzy’s criminal career are well documented, but a less publicised aspect involves the suburb of Chelsea. Chelsea and District So-ciety founder Frank McGuire, in his 1985 book Chelsea: A Beachside Com-munity, noted that the late Bill Broth-well, an early Chelsea citizen, claimed Squizzy Taylor often visited a relative who owned a shop in the town and also frequented Aspendale Racecourse with “his mobster mates”.

The diminutive Squizzy, who stood just 5 foot 2 inches, always had an eye on his public profi le, even at the height – or depth, depending on your point of view – of his criminal ‘career’.

He appeared in a fi lm based on his life in 1923 entitled Riding To Win. The Frankston & Somerville Standard newspaper reported on 22 December 1922 that The Carrum Borough Gazette “stated that Squizzy Taylor had been making pictures in the Chelsea district”.

It was this local connection that would spark a police manhunt for one of Squizzy’s associates, Richard Buck-ley, in Chelsea after an armed robbery in Hawthorn in October 1923 left bank manager Thomas Berriman dead at Glenferrie railway station. Berriman

was ambushed by Squizzy and his gang and shot dead when he refused to hand over £1,851 he had in his possession.

Squizzy and Geelong gaol escapee Angus Murray were arrested as sus-pects in the robbery and murder. A third man, Richard Buckley, went on the run and into hiding.

Police raids in the search for Buck-ley in Chelsea ignited a battle between two local newspapers of the time, with words – not bullets – used as weapons in a turf war for top dog status in the region.

The Carrum Borough Gazette and Chelsea News were engaged in a circu-lation and advertising war at the time. The Chelsea News was the offi cial printer of the council and the Carrum Borough Gazette was keen to win this lucrative contract for itself.

The 19 October 1923 edition of the Gazette reported police detectives and two local constables raided a home in Wimbourne Avenue, Chelsea. The Chelsea News asked the next day “Is Buckley in Chelsea?” and speculated that Chelsea was an ideal place for criminals to hide, with many police raids “seeking men who were in hiding from city sleuths”. The article claimed ten detectives had detained a person at gunpoint.

The Gazette used this report to fi re a shot at the Chelsea News, claiming Chelsea had been libelled by “the off- icial organ of the municipality” and “a good deal of sensational rubbish ap-pears in the article which is pure fi c-tion”. Making its own inquiries with

police, the Gazette concluded just fi ve, not ten, detectives had been present and no suspect had been apprehended.

The Gazette stated it “does not stand for the suppression of any legitimate news in the interests of any person or district, yet we believe that it is the par mount duty of a local paper, to foster and protect the well being of all hamlets and towns in the district it professes to circulate in”. However, the newspaper tried to put pressure on its rival by not-ing the Chelsea News “carries with it

some hundreds of pounds of ratepayers money per medium of advertisements and printing” and that “one prominent business man states that he is going to petition the council, asking them to censure the offi cial organ, and to cease all business dealings with them for 12 months”.

Council was unimpressed with the att-empt to force it to withdraw advertising from the Chelsea News, with then mayor Cr Richardson saying he did not believe in censoring the press.

Buckley was eventually captured by police in Moonee Ponds seven years later, in 1930.

Squizzy Taylor was found not guilty of involvement in the Glenferrie murder, amid suspicions of jury intimidation.Suggested reading: Murderer Sought at Chelsea by City of Kingston offi cial historian Graham Whitehead (go to www.localhistory.kingston.vic.gov.au).The six-part series Underbelly: Squizzy airs on Channel 9 from Sunday 28 July at 8.30pm.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, August 9th 1913.THE contract for extensive improve-ments to the Mornington jetty, cost-ing about £1000, by the Public Works Department, is in the hands of Mr S. Patience, of Footscray.

The local jetty is undergoing a thor-ough overhaul, a new parapet or break-water being constructed on the outside of existing decayed timber for 90 feet, 47 new piles driven in line, and 9 new piles to strengthen the main structure, fi rmly held with iron tie rods.

Nine double rows of new transverse beams are being placed under plank-ing, which is also to be renovated. The work includes the extension of the existing stone and concrete wall and parapet 4ft Gin in cement at inner end of new timber breakwater, and 60 cu-bic yards of stone and rubble to make the wall secure.

***A SIGN of future developments is the starting of a Progress Association at Crib Point. The fi rst thing they will ask for will be wharf accommodation, and the future of Crib Point as a deep sea port is only challenged by the fact that the Naval authorities have not enough room on Han’s Inlet, but by develop-ing the space between Coolan Island and Crib Point, a large deep sheltered area could be obtained, which is, in view of the fact that Westernport will be the chief naval base of Australasia, absolutely necessary in the opinion of experts.

***E. C. HAMMOND’S advertisement, on page 4, tells how to guard against small pox, after vaccination.

***THE secretary of the Frankston Ten-nis Club acknowledges with thanks a donation of £1 1s from Mr A. D. Box towards the Club funds.

***THERE was a splendid attendance at the Picture Show held in the Mechan-ics’ Institute, Mornington, on Wednes-day night last, in aid of the Catholic Church debt.

***ON Sunday afternoon last, Mr W. Hailes received a double dislocation of the elbow, caused by falling from a see-saw. His injuries were attended to by Dr Somers, and he is now do-ing well.

***BY 12 votes to 9, the offer of a barrel of beer for inmates of Braintree Work-house, Essex, was declined, and for the fi rst time for many years, the pau-pers had no beer with their Christmas dinner. Most Boards of Guardians now adopt this wise course.

***AT the recent departmental examina-tions at the Mornington State School, the following pupils received certifi -cates:- Merit-Donald Hulchins, Albert Coxhell, and Winnie Bradford. Quali-fying Certifi cates-Percy Doherty, Keith Dreyor, Alex Hutchins, Ronald Walker, Daiy Swann, and Josephine Pitchford.

***AT a combined meeting of the Morn-ington Loyal Celebration League and delegates from the State Schools com-mittees, it was decided on Tuesday night last that all arrangements for the trip to the Zoo, which is to take place next November, be left in the hands of the following delegates:- Mornington

State School, Messrs Blair and Ford; Moorooduc State School, Messrs

Sanders and Male; Osborne, Messrs Sherlock and Wilson; L.C.L., Messrs Ferber and Jenkins.

***MESSRS A. Scott and Co. held their usual monthly market at Tanti on Mon-day last, when there was an average yarding of cattle, a good attendance of buyers, and a spirited demand for all classes. Milkers to £7 5s; spring-ers to £7 7s 6d; backward springers to £5; lines of heifers, £1 16s, £1 13s, and £1 11s; porkers, £2 8s. A truck of good quality springers, from various

owners, was bought to go to South Gippsland.

***ON Wednesday last, the second eu-chre party and dance in aid of the Frankston Brass Band eventuated in the Mechanics’ Hall. There was a very good attendance, and cards occupied the fi rst part of the evening. Mr Bert Roberts, who did not lose a game, an-nexed the fi rst prize, and Mrs Walser was successful in winning the ladies’ prize, while the “booby’’ prizes went to Mrs Williams and Mr Meldrum, junr.

Before the dance commenced, a tasty supper was had all round, and thoroughly enjoyed. Dancing, to mu-sic provided by Mrs Millard (piano) and Mr Guume (cornet), was then indulged in, and a very pleasant time was spent. The playing of the band for a couple of the dances was very fa-vourably commented upon.

During an interval, the bandmas-ter (Mr E. C. Hammond) thanked the ladies for the help they had rendered the band, and hoped that very lib-eral support would be rendered at the forthcoming bazaar. The secretary of the function (Mrs Millard) and her committer had everything in apple pie order, and an very enjoyable evening was spent

***OUR readers are reminded of the con-cert and ball to be held at Hastings on Friday, the 15th inst., in aid of the Ro-man Catholic Church. The programme will include Irish and Scotch pipers, dancers, singers, and comedians from Melbourne, besides local talent.

The arrangements for the ball are proceeding, and from appearances, those at ending should pass a most

pleasant evening. Visitors from a dis-tance will have the benefi t of a good moon both going and coming.

***THINGS in general have been dull; the roads are in a bad state, and if councillors are going to wait until the Main Roads Board takes over the roads, the ratepayers will pray for eter-nal summer.

One fact is evident, that the public hall has faded out. The offer made to build the hall has not been carried out, and there is talk now that it would have been better to have looked the gift horse in the mouth, although ad-vised to the contrary.

If certain promises had not be made, the Bittern Hall might have been put upon a letter site by the local people. Ways and means can always he found where the future prosperity of a local-ity is assured.

***WE regret to announce the death of Mr Wm. Thornell on Saturday after-noon last. He was the second eldest son of Mr and Mrs Mark Thornell, who are old and respected residents of this district. The deceased has been a popular local resident. He has suffered very acutely of late, but all that love and trained nursing under medical su-pervision could do was not suffi cient to ward off death.

We extend our deepest sympathy to his parents and brothers and sis-ters. The funeral is at Somerville at 2 o’clock for the Frankston Cemetery, where the interment took place, the Rev. Father O’Hagan offi ciating at the graveside.

Gazing on my own refl ectionWith loving, naked, pure affectionI must have been a touch distractedAs the steel on skin impacted’Cos in an instant, before I knew itI was well and truly skeweredTrickling blood, a crimson creek It struck me dumb, I could not speak!

Yes with the blood upon my cheekI didn’t cry, I did not shriekI tore a tiny piece of SorbentThought, ‘Perfect time to take a portrait’For though I’d cut myself whilst shavingI thought the moment one worth savingI saved it, yes, so I could proveThat if I’m cut I bleed, like you

And in that awe-inspiring momentWhere I chose to mobile phone itI did not turn to get a bandageBut turned it to my own advantageFor I’ve had many wounds beforeIn bathrooms and on Caucus fl oorAnd with a click the deed was doneSoon to be seen by everyone

I took this wounded face of mineAnd put the image up onlineWhere it got a million hitsI tweeted it to all the twits!I shoved it up on InstagramTo show the world all that I am(Sure, for some, it would have gratedBut mystique’s sorely overrated)

I did it without fear or favourJust so you could sit and savourSome say in exasperation‘This is too much information!’But I think those folks are mistakenSo take this picture I have takenOf me and my shaving cutBehold, my friends, my bloodied nut!

Some may claim that it’s unhealthyFor a man to send a selfi eTo more than a million folksAnd cause them on their toast to chokeConfronted with my bloodied imageHaunted by my beaming visageI did it not to cause you fearBut to remind you all I’m here

Mirror, mirror on the wallWho can resist the siren’s call?Of joy and love and pure devotionThat comes along with self-promotionThe shock was not that I had nicked it But that the wound was self-infl ictedSo now I’ve shared the razor’s nipThat’s all from me – I’ve gotta zip

A FIRST-TIME collaboration between Bell Shakespeare and State Theatre Company of South Australia, brings to life one of Shake-speare’s earliest plays, The Comedy Of Errors, directed by rising star Imara Savage - national tour starts 28 June 2013.

A wealthy merchant’s wife bears him identical twin boys. On the same day, a poor couple also have twins who are purchased by the merchant as servants to his sons. A shipwreck splits the family apart until, many years later, they fi nd themselves in the same city – Ephesus; a transi-tory, shifty, border-town, a place of transaction, both monetary and sexual.

Confusions ensue as the two sets of twins are constantly mistaken for each other. Sharp banter and comical word play lure us into a world

where characters are reinvented, individuality is fl uid and the boundary between what’s real and what’s imagined becomes even more tenuous.

“The Comedy Of Errors is a farce, but there is darkness in the light. Shakespeare raises ques-tions of identity, sameness and difference. It’s about the fear of the other, fear of the unknown. And it’s about brotherhood and reconciliation,” said Director Imara Savage.

Imara says, “I’m looking forward to touring the country with a diverse cast of 10 Australian actors who will reinvent themselves in different guises to populate the eclectic town of Ephe-sus.”

The Comedy of Errors will be playing at Frankston Arts Centre on 17 August. For tickets and enquiries, call 9784 1060.

By Haydn GodonyA SUCCESSFUL band, live and in the studio, in the 1980s, The Eurogliders are reuniting for a run of Victorian shows.

“Today is quite a different time in music than it was back in Eurogliders heyday,” singer Grace Knight said from her Healesville home.

“For a start, we had more venues to play – we could make a living out of being a musician or a singer.”

“The advent of the pokies meant a lot of venues lost what was the ‘stage real estate’. That shut down the earning capacity for a lot of performers.”

Knight not only does occasional Eurogliders tours but is these days better known for her jazz-based solo shows.

“When I look at television shows that make kids stars, I fi nd it a bit sad that for most of them the stardom is short, just a few will ever fi nd a career out of it.

“Onstage I’ve always perceived myself as a storyteller. Whether I’m singing ‘Gliders hits or something from Porgy and Bess, I choose songs because of the story and how it relates to me. I think that if it resonates with me, it will resonate

with the listener. The thing that I need to main-tain is honesty,” she said.

In cartoon form, on Knight’s website, she is to be seen wearing what’s become a hallmark fl oral dress in shades of pink. “I make my own clothes and I made the clothes for Eurogliders too. I like to create a look,” Knight said.

“When I recorded the last album, Keep Cool Fool, I really wanted a fi fties feel. The dress and the website are all a part of that. The look helps to put me in character.

Knight will be teamed up for this tour with fellow Euroglider, long time musical partner and former husband Bernie Lynch along with a full band. “We like the sound of our voices together and he likes the way I interpret his lyrics.”

The band will perform all Eurogliders’ hits including Heaven (Must Be There), We Will Together, City of Soul and Can’t Wait to See You, along with some new material, at Chelsea Heights Hotel on Thursday 8 August. Call 9773 4453

By Gary Turner

YOU do realise you can’t win don’t you? Someone must win, you say. Depends what winning means. Pow-erball, Tattslotto, the pokies, little fi sh are sweet? Sometimes, but the bottom line still holds: they get you in the long run and likely the little fi sh were yours in the fi rst place.

The rich, the super rich, go to great lengths to win, to be remembered be-yond the croak. Shane Warne’s house is for sale at $15 million; luxury be-yond fantasy, “not that there’s any-thing wrong with it”. Shane’s off to the big smoke, England, heavily into ad-vanced narcissism in the steps of Barry Humphries et al.

I like Tootgarook, croaking frog country, one street down from Point Nepean Rd, worth a fortune in 2060. Sorrento will become the new Portsea, which will disappear into Port Phillip Bay. I passed up Somers way back, direct access to the beach for a song, 1960. Also one at Bonbeach beach-side; dopey Dan. I’ll pop across to the RSL; two pots, Carlton Draught, pon-der. My ashes settled on buried Portsea in Port Phillip Bay?

Post Mortem. Ever onwards. ***

WHEN you think of human nature, apart from all those hoo haa reasons thrown up against her by Murdoch’s crowd, Lady Julia certainly started a long way behind scratch. We had all

those voters who didn’t like the look of her for multiple reasons but really because she was simply a chooky fe-male bringing with it a form of male hostility rarely seen before.

Couple this with the ‘born to rule’ crowd who would never let a male or female from Altona become a member of their club anyway. Thus three years of lost policies degraded to a male-female affair.

***MY son had a 50th birthday recently, taking me back to his birth, when I but a lad of 19 years, and way, way back to 1870. Charlie Godwin’s horse shied at a snake at The Gap; fell off and died after a happy marriage to Sarah and three children. Sad that Charlie died, but no snake, no Cliffi e. Sarah married great grandfather William Ellen three years later; had another seven little darlings. And so the rot set in. Let’s hear it for the snake.

***PEPPER: Apparently, there’s 40 mil-lion refugees living in harsh poverty and we take 20,000 a year. In reading the letters to the newspapers and listen-ing to talkback radio, I wonder why so many people resent the boat people? Apart from the men on the boats (bad enough) there are women and children there, desperate for a decent life, risk-ing everything.

The number of ignorant and misin-

formed reasons why these sad people should not come is frightening. The policies of both political parties since 1996 are an embarrassment and a dis-grace. Young kids, desperate mothers and lost fathers. Do they want them to drown? When did drownings become ‘border protection’? Egalitarianism, multiculturalism, a fair go? Like fun!

***I HAVE coffee most mornings at Mag-gies and sometimes at Ricks, both good. Across the road on the foreshore is the Sea Scouts and Guides building. I have never seen one sea scout or girl guide in 13 years of drinking coffee. Is this a front for ASIO? Stranger things have happened, and if it is, what are they doing in Rye?

Maybe the odd murder or two, late night violence during the six weeks of mayhem over Christmas/January, thousands of marijuana pot plants, the odd brothel appearing out of nowhere, but otherwise all is quiet. ASIO is stretching it; maybe secret men’s busi-ness? I’ll ask the ranger. Do we have a ranger? Or Geoff the barber? If Geoff doesn’t know, nobody knows.

***ONE would surely have to be a ‘born to rule’ Liberal voter to believe in the east-west tunnel idea. I assumed Doc-tor Den was joking with his “game changing” rubbish. At least with Pen-insula Link we could see the advan-

tages alongside the disadvantages re third world public transport beyond Frankston. What’s the real story here Doc? The golden rule “privatise prof-its, socialise costs”?

***I’M told the SMS number for reporting anti-social behaviour at AFL matches is fl ashed on the big screen at Etihad Stadium before the game commenc-es. Full marks for a classy idea. My query is, what happens if I’m next to a tatooed bruiser (male or female) who screams abuse at Collingwood and I report him? Best I attend a Bonbeach-Chelsea match where anti-social be-haviour is normal, and mostly good fun.

***I HAVEN’T bothered giving Frankston MP Geoff Shaw column space. He was doing a fi ne job with his own digging, albeit his slick move to switch to be-ing an independent, luxuriating in his balance-of-power status, complete with overseas holiday. Geoff asks and the Libs comply, unlike Marty’s pluses here in the safe Mornington Peninsula seat. Anyway, the Frankston voters don’t need my help come the election.

***NEAR midnight, 22 July, Kate rushed to hospital. Anxiously, an embrace-ment of the concept of a monarchy. Hallelujah. Welcome Master George. As long as I live (which won’t be all

that long) I’ll remember the crowd outside the hospital singing my all-time favourite song, made famous by my all-time favourite singer Sir Cliff Richard OBE, Congratulations. My thanks to the Herald-Sun for the 12-page baby liftout; pride of place alongside my extensive collection of Sir Cliff’s CDs.

Historic day, 23 July 2013. Bert turned 75, a future monarch is born and the Herald-Sun, after six years of daily ALP attacks, had a rest day... It’s not Essendon’s fault, is it?

***I HAVE no problem with attractive young mums breastfeeding in public... I know people who swear by garlic, ginger and lemon; apparently they haven’t heard of a salt and warm wa-ter gargle... It’s not what you gain but whatever you give that measures the worth of the way you live, and if that doesn’t work, try the big three: music, laughter and good company. Colly-wobbles; hooroo...

***THOUGH multi-Grammy Award win-ner Charley Pride was by no means the fi rst African/American to play and sing country music – black harmonica player DeFord Bailey was an Opry star way back in the 1920s – Pride was certainly the most successful from the 60s through the 80s, racking up a string of hits including ls Anybody Goin’ to San Antone, Me and Bobby McGee, Wings of a Dove, Mountain of Love, and his biggest crossover hit , Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’.

Pride has a smooth, warm voice and a genuine devotion to country music and its heritage, a combination that helped him win the hearts of even the most conservative fans, despite the fact that prejudice was still rampant throughout the American south.

Pride was born in Sledge, Mississip-pi in 1938 and raised on a cotton farm, where his parents were sharecroppers. He began playing guitar as a teenager and was a handy baseball player, do-ing a stint with the Negro American League team the Memphis Red Sox.

Pride started playing music in small cafes after some encouraging words from Red Sovine and eventually came to the attention of RCA record pro-ducer Chet Atkins, who signed him up. His fi rst single was The Snakes Crawl at Night, a song about a man who shoots his cheating wife.

Sony Music Entertainment Australia is releasing a new greatest hits collec-tion from this true superstar of country music. 40 Years of Pride will be re-leased this week, ahead of his Austral-ian tour in November.

Charley Pride is one of the biggest-selling country music artists of all time. He has sold an incredible 70

million albums, including 31 gold and four platinum albums, as well as one that achieved quadruple-platinum sta-tus. On RCA Records, Charley Pride is second in sales only to Elvis Presley.

40 Years of Pride features 40 of his most loved tracks on 2 CDs. Thirty of the tracks were international country number ones. This incredible legacy is a powerful reminder that ‘The Pride of Country Music’ remains one of the greatest legends in popular music – and he’s still going strong.

40 Years of Pride is the No.1 album on the New Zealand album charts this week.

Charley Pride will appear at the Palais Theatre on Saturday 9 Novem-ber. Bookings: 136 100 or www.ticket-

MARKING the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, Warner Bros has produced a 3D remastered version of the fi lm. Warner Bros Home Entertain-ment (WBHE) will release a limited and numbered The Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary Collector’s Edition on 2 October, featuring the 3D version of the fi lm and more.

Adapted from L Frank Baum’s time-less children’s tale about a Kansas girl’s journey over the rainbow, The Wizard of Oz opened at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on 15 August 1939.

The fi lm was directed by Victor Fleming (who that same year directed Gone with the Wind), produced by

Mervyn LeRoy, and scored by Herbert Stothart, with music and lyrics by Har-old Arlen and E Y Harburg.

Dorothy was portrayed by a 4’11” sixteen-year-old girl who quickly earned her reputation as the world’s greatest entertainer, the incomparable Judy Garland. Ray Bolger appeared as the scarecrow, Bert Lahr as the cow-ardly lion, Jack Haley as the tin man, while Frank Morgan was seen in six different roles, including that of the wonderful Wizard of Oz himself.

The Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary Collector’s Edition will be released as a three-disc set that will include Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and Ultra-violet versions of the fi lm, as well as a new documentary, The Making of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, collectables and additional bonus features.

Four more editions will be available separately: a three-disc 3D/Blu-ray/DVD, a one-disc Blu-ray, a single disc DVD with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum paperback book and the single disc DVD. All fi ve will contain the new documentary, extra content and Ultraviolet copy.

Special features will include all previously released special features, along with the all-new documentary, The Making of the Wonderful Wiz-ard of Oz, a candid overview of how a troubled production overcame the odds to become an integral part of American culture, which features con-tributions from historians John Fricke and Sam Wasson, composers Stephen Schwartz and Marc Shaiman, critics Leonard Maltin and Michael Sragow, Bert Lahr’s son John as well as reveal-ing interview clips with Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Buddy Ebsen, Margaret Hamilton and Mervyn LeRoy, among others.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyMT Eliza is a game clear in the top fi ve after smashing Frankston YCW by a whopping 55 points in Peninsula League.

Coming off two straight losses, the Redlegs’ place in the fi ve was looking vulnerable until Saturday.

Once again, Mt Eliza proved that its best is devastating and the Stonecats were on the receiving end of it.

It’s hard to remember the last time Frankston YCW was beaten by nine goals.

The Redlegs set-up the win with nine goals to one in the fi rst quarter and by half-time the margin had blown out to 50 points.

With Rohan Heasley dominating the match with six goals and Josh Norman carving up the opposition through the middle, the visitors extended their lead to 14 goals at three-quarter time.

By this time, things had become embarrassing for the Stonecats and they needed to make one last effort.

As expected, YCW dominated the last quarter, but inaccuracy (3.12

to one point) failed to impact the scoreboard signifi cantly.

Redlegs’ coach Jason Watts said he was always confi dent his team could bounce back against the competition’s yardstick.

“You always worry a little when you lose two games in a row but the reality is it’s a really even competition,” Watts said.

“We have systems and processes, and we just needed to get back to those.

“You only need to be fi ve or 10 per cent off your game and you’re going to get beaten in this competition.

“We think we match-up pretty well against YCW and the boys were certainly confi dent in their ability to beat them.

“With a more settled side than we’ve had recently, I was confi dent we would put in a good showing.”

Ryley Hodson and Tony Lester fl ew the fl ag for the Stonecats.

Langwarrin proved once again its best is good enough to compete with the top teams when it easily accounted for Edithvale-Aspendale.

In the second half of the season,

the Kangas have beaten Mt Eliza and Edithvale, and lead YCW at the 10-minute mark of the last quarter.

The Kangas kept the Eagles goalless in the opening quarter while dominating the term with 4.7.

Ruckman Matty Naughton played arguably his fi nest game for the Kangas while Michael Parker and Jarryd Amalfi continued their dominant form. Dan Wehner fi nished with two majors in another faultless display.

By three-quarter time, Langwarrin had completely locked down the game, extending the lead to 50 points.

The Eagles rallied in the fi nal quarter through Stevey Mannix and Zac Muschialli, reducing the fi nal margin to 36 points, 10.12-72 to 6.12-48.

Pines has grabbed fi fth place on the ladder and is a game clear of six- and seventh-placed Karingal and Mornington.

The Pythons got the job done on Chelsea, winning by 75 points. The win lifted the Pythons’ percentage by seven per cent.

While Pines was getting the job done at Chelsea, Mornington kept

its fi nals hopes alive and at the same time knocked Karingal out of the top bracket.

The Pythons were never in any danger of losing this one and with Jake Prosser dominating once again and Brendan’s Neville and Cowell doing as they liked, the visitors extended their lead at every change. Shaun White and Guy Hendry booted four goals each.

Fia Tootoo was the best of the Gulls, while Jesse Odell also worked tirelessly.

Chelsea coach Paul Carbis said he was hoping to be reappointed for next season.

“It’s been a tough year but I believe there has been some improvement and I’d really like to see where I can take the club next year,” he said.

“I really want to see the Chelsea Football Club successful.”

The club must not wait any longer and lock Carbis in now.

Mornington had a season-defi ning match on Saturday on its home deck and simply had to beat Karingal.

A loss would have ended the Bulldogs’ season.

To win in such an emphatic way was super impressive.

Mornington won every quarter. In fact, the Doggies dominated every quarter.

Keeping the Bulls to one goal in each of the two halves says a lot about the domination.

Jackson Calder booted three goals in tough conditions, Adrian Speedy kicked a couple and a further seven players contributed on the scoreboard for the Dogs.

Grant Goodall was clearly the best of the Bulls, who only had two goalkickers for the day.

Bonbeach was made to work hard to get the four points against Seaford.

The Sharks trailed the Tigers at half-time by three points, before booting 3.11 to 2.5 in the second hour to win 7.17-59 to 7.8-50.

Jackson Casey and Dylan Jones were the catalysts in the win while Ricky Ferraro, Paul Rebeschini and Mark Tyrell continued their outstanding seasons

Harry Czarnecki and Dylan Crump were the best of the Tigers, while Joe Hallal played well.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyDROMANA once against highlighted the signifi cant difference between the top sides in Nepean League and those in the lower half of the top fi ve.

Expecting a cracking contest at Pier St Oval, Dromana held Rosebud goalless in two of the four quarters of the match.

Despite the atrocious conditions for football, Dromana managed 37 scoring shots and fi nished with 19 goals.

After the match, a couple of Rosebud players labelled their performance “embarrassing”, while Dromana coach Gavin Artico was very happy with his team’s performance.

“We had four players out of the side today [Braedan Dennis, Aaron Coyle, Liam Hogan and Matt Neratzoglou] and gave some others the opportunity to make a claim a week out from fi nals,” Artico said.

The four players who came into the side were Beau McMurray, Toby Banks, Jay Hutchison and Ryan Slocombe.

“It’s going to be a tough task to fi t 27 players into 22 next week but I guess it’s a healthy position to be in.

“Players are really fi ghting for spots and I think it showed in their endeavour across the four quarters today.

“There are still some areas that I wasn’t pleased with but, overall, a 99-point win against a side in the top fi ve is a great result.”

Daniel Gormley was best player on the ground with four goals, closely followed by Daniel Waddell, who dominated at centre half-forward and kicked four.

The Tigers had 59 tackles in their attacking 50, largely due to the defence work of forwards including Waddell and Gormley, along with Paul Minchington and Toby Banks.

Michael Hunter and Rikki Johnson dominated across half-back and Terry Wheeler again brought his own footy to the game.

Brenton and Matty Payne were clearly the Buds’ best while Rhys Bancroft typically didn’t stop working. Ben Schultz booted three goals in the second quarter, but was well beaten by Jay Neratzoglou.

Greg Bentley missed again with a shoulder injury while at Dromana, Christian Ongarello was taken to hospital after landing awkwardly in a marking contest and knocking himself out. There was no serious damage and he’ll miss only the one week.

Hastings booted nine goals in the second quarter against Frankston Bombers on Saturday and held on to win in a thriller by fi ve points.

Blues’ coach Glenn Michie booted the match-winner with three minutes left on the clock to seal the win for the visitors.

It was a bittersweet moment for Michie, who has been widely criticised by the club in recent times for his honest approach with the media.

After the match, Michie said the win was one of his “proudest moments” on the footy fi eld.

Taylor Stratton and Luke Hewitt dominated again for the Blues, who led by 27 points at the major interval.

The Bombers came storming back in the third and at three-quarter time, things were all locked up, 10.7 to 9.13.

Hastings had the wind advantage in the fi nal quarter and with Tony Mirabella booting fi ve goals and Kane

Stratton and Peter Mawson working tirelessly, the visitors were able to hang on.

Ryan and Nathan Lonie booted three goals each for the Bombers while Matt Harris and Jake Foster picked up the votes.

It was a sensational performance from the Blues and once again highlighted that its best is good enough to match it with the top teams.

It’s been a wasted year for the Blues and now it’s time to start building for 2014.

Mission number one, start locking in players.

There was bad news for Sorrento on Saturday with Ben Schwarze dislocating his shoulder against Rye.

Making his return to the side, Schwarze went down in the second quarter and didn’t reappear. He could be out for the season, but we’ve thought this before and he’s made a miraculous return. Trevor Mattison went down with a hamstring injury and will be racing the clock to make it back.

In better news for the Sharks, Myles Pitt made a return and fi nished with fi ve goals. Pitt has struggled with injury at Port Melbourne this season and, with his side having a bye, asked his home club if he could play. Obviously, the Sharks were delighted to help out a favourite son.

Pitt was one of the best players on the ground, while Mitch Nibbs and Troy Schwarze also dominated.

Ben Holmes, Rhett Sutton and Darren Booth were the best of the Demons, along with Adam Kirkwood.

Sorrento led by three goals at half-time, by 26 points at three-quarter time and ran out winners 10.15-75 to 4.9-33.

Somerville held off a fast-fi nishing Devon Meadows, winning by 17 points.

The Eagles kicked off the day in sensational fashion, booting seven goals to one in the fi rst quarter, before the Panthers hit back in the second.

However, keeping the Panthers scoreless in the fi nal quarter was enough to get the Eagles home.

Leigh Stewart has done a magnifi cent job with this young side all season and has led well on the ground. He was Somerville’s best on Saturday, along with Justin Farrelly and Travis Bravo.

Andrew Oldmeadow, Heath Black and Chris Thorne were the best of the Panthers.

Pearcedale did what it had to against Red Hill, winning by more than seven goals.

The Dales booted 6.5 to a point in the opening term and by three-quarter time, the margin had blown out to 71 points.

The Hillmen rallied in the fi nal quarter through Harry Larwill, Josh and Jake Mold and Ben Maguinness and reduced the margin.

Pat Cadd kicked four and Pat Heijden and Dylan Hoare three for the Dales while Ben Mitchell and Chris Fortnam dominated.

Crib Point won its fi nal home game of the year, leading all afternoon to beat Tyabb 8.16-64 to 4.5-29.

Brad Davidson and Jon Flack with three goals dominated for the Pies while Luke Herrington and Dave Lawson played well.

Tim McGrath and Ben Gould were the best of the Yabbies and Matty Dimkos fi nished with three majors.
