WORKERS employed by the shire’s long-term contractor Transfield Servic-es held a day-long protest outside the company’s depot in Watt Rd, Morning-ton, last Wednesday.

It is believed to be the first industrial action for 15 years at Transfield.

James Weissmann of the Australian Services Union said employees and the company were at a standoff after nego-

tiations for a new enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) broke down.

The ASU is the main union of local government employees.

Mr Weissmann said the EBA expired in April but Transfield and union had failed to agree on “three important items”:n Workers asked for a 3.5 per cent pay increase but Transfield offered 3 per cent.n Transfield rejected a bid for the pay to be retrospective to April.

n Transfield wanted to pay its staff fortnightly instead of weekly so the union asked for an extra two weeks of pay but this was also rejected.

Mr Weissmann said many workers lived from pay to pay and could not af-ford to wait a fortnight.

“We’re really disappointed nego-tiations have broken down,” he said. “Our workers accepted lower pay in-creases when we did EBAs with Trans-field in 2009 and 2012.”

He said retrospectivity had recently been removed from the negotiating table by Transfield, which was “outrageous”.

He conceded Transfield had upped its offer from 2 to 3 per cent. “The out-standing matters are minor; our employ-ees have been more than reasonable.”

The picket, now known in industrial relations parlance as a “protest assem-bly”, lasted all day. Mr Weissmann said no vehicles had been stopped from en-tering or leaving the depot. More than

30 workers manned the “assembly”.Mr Weissmann said union organisers

had tried to contact Transfield on Mon-day without success.

Last December, Transfield an-nounced $73 million underlying net profit for the year to the end of June. Earnings were up 7 per cent to $217 million. Transfield said it expected to generate earnings in the range of $240-260 million in 2015-16.

Transfield staff protest over EBA

Get priorities rightAUSTRALIAN of the Year Rosie Batty has urged governments to rethink their priorities and spend more to help prevent domestic violence and help victims.

A poll by Essential Research released yes-terday (Monday 6 July) found 74 per cent of 1000 people surveyed across Australia believe domestic violence is as much of or more than a threat than terrorism. Just 18 per cent believed it is less of a threat.

“We’re spending hundreds of millions extra on the war on terrorism, but women who fear for their safety are still being turned away from services because of a lack of funds,” Ms Batty said.

“As a nation we need to reassess our priorities. Women and children are dying because of fam-ily violence and we need to see a commensurate response.”

Community campaigning group Fair Agenda, who commissioned the Essential Research poll-ing, says the poll highlights the discrepancy be-tween the scale of the family violence epidemic and government action, particularly in funding family violence services.

If you or someone you know is affected by sexual assault, domestic or family violence, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or see 1800RESPECT.org.au

Here’s why TBM is your local choice:

NEW speed limits have been intro-duced on Eramosa Rd East, Somer-ville.

They are:n A permanent 40kph limit on Era-

mosa Rd East from east of Woodside Cl to Frankston-Flinders Rd. It was previously 60kph with a 40kph school speed zone;n 50kph on Eramosa Rd East from

east of Woodside Cl to east of Almond Bush St (previously 60kph); and,n 80kph on Eramosa Rd East from

east of Drovers Lane to 300 metres east of Lower Somerville Rd (previ-ously 100kph).

Cr Lynn Bowden said Eramosa Rd East had a shopping area, hous-ing, primary school and pre-school. “These land uses contribute to fre-quent parking and vehicle movements and a high number of pedestrians in the area,” she said.

“The speed limit changes have been requested and advocated for by the school and preschool community, as well as a number of traders and resi-dents. I'm pleased the community will have safer and more appropriate speed limits along this stretch of road.”

A raised platform will soon be built at the existing school crossing on Eramosa Rd East. “The installation addresses ongoing concerns from the school and preschool community,” she said.

“The raised platform was identified in the shire's Somerville Pedestrian Strategy. It will complement the new speed limits to increase safety for pedestrians and other road users in the area.”

Extra signs will be put in place this week to ensure motorists are aware of the new speed limits.

Slow down: New speed limits and traffic treatments for Eramosa Rd East have the approval of parent Kim Fitcher, Somerville Primary School principal Sue Goodall, and Cr Lynn Bowden.

Speed limit cut for safety

A DOZEN or so Mornington Peninsu-la Shire projects are complete, under way or about to start in the Western Port area.

Infrastructure director Alison Leighton told the council meeting held at Hastings Hub on 22 June that the works include major upgrades to Hastings and important environmental and sporting works.

In Hastings itself, the High St streetscape design is anticipated to go on public exhibition in August after being reviewed by the shire’s design advisory panel and Western Port Chamber of Commerce in April.

The aim is to enhance the town-ship’s identity and assert High St as its “spine and vibrant heart”, councillors and the large gallery were told. The plan ties in with the laneway strategy, which aims to make “safe, enjoyable and ̔laid-back” spaces” connecting pedestrians to Main St.

The stabbing death murder of jeweller Dermot O’Toole will be commemorated at 11am on 12 July in O’Toole Way, Hastings. It is being organised by the Hastings Chamber of Commerce, which is encouraging traders to deck their shops in green and wear green in the week leading up to Sunday the event.

Stage Two of the Alfred St streetscape works – stage one was finished last December – will soon transform the area with outdoor seat-ing, bollards, sculptures, a drinking fountain and shady trees to create a

pleasant community space within the Hastings “activity centre”, linking High St and the Alfred St Plaza.

Planning continues with the Hast-ings south coastal plan, with prepa-rations about to start on preparing a boating precinct proposal from the pier south, possibly including a roundabout at the corner of Skinner and Herring streets and extensive landscaping.

Hastings itself will get “gateway” signs if money can be found. The chamber of commerce will seek back-ing from BlueScope and plans to en-gage the local community to develop signs to welcome people to their town. Pelicans are likely to feature.

Two portable buildings are to be installed for Hastings sports clubs under a deal involving BlueScope, the Hastings Reserve Sports club and the shire. They will be used by the junior football players as a meeting room and for storage. The juniors struggled to survive last year for lack of facili-ties. Volunteer tradies will pitch in with the work required.

After a post-bushfire barbecue in February the shire has moved fast to replace the 712-metre Warringine Park boardwalk, destroyed by the summer blaze south of Hastings. The $305,000 project, awarded to Jmac Constructions, is expected to be finished in August. Settlement of the shire’s insurance claim is also expected soon.

Also being rejuvenated is the

Wallaroo Reserve, with work so far including improved path lighting, “rebadging” the former West Park housing estate to Wallaroo, as well as table tennis equipment for loan, a half-court basketball facility, a barbe-cue, and much more. Additional play equipment, a BMX track upgrade and a barbecue shelter are planned, with most funding coming from Melbourne Water.

One of Hastings’ most popular sports destinations, Pelican Park, is due for improvements, including new signs to conform with Austral-ian standards, a new access method to the gymnasium, resurfacing of wet change room floors, two picnic tables in the lawn area and new pool plant filters to ensure top quality water for swimmers.

Detailed design work has been completed for the Boes Rd-Graydens Rd roundabout, to be built with Black Spot funding. Land is being acquired for the $1.5 million works, which are expected to start early next year.

Another Black Spot, Loders Rd, is being reconstructed and widened between Graydens Rd and Peninsula Link. More than half finished, the $1 million construction work is anticipat-ed to be completed by early August.

Work in Bittern on a pedestrian-op-erated crossing in Frankston-Flinders Rd near the station is close to finished. The signals are due to be switched on by the end of July.

Building plansMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is drawing up a list of projects it would like to be financed through the state government’s $50 million Outer Suburban Growth Fund.

The government is making the money available to 10 “interface” councils, including Mornington Peninsula.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the fund would “help deliver important social and economic benefits”.

The other interface councils are Cardinia, Casey, Hume, Melton, Mitchell, Nillumbik, Whittlesea, Wyndham and Yarra Ranges.

“The interface councils group has spent a lot of time talking to the Min-ister [of Local Government Natalie Hutchins] about the issues and chal-lenges we face and we are very grate-ful that this fund has been established to deliver important projects for our municipalities,” Cr Colomb said.

“Council is currently considering projects to be included in our submis-sion to the fund, and we look forward to working with the government to deliver real social and economic ben-efits for our community. We also look forward to hosting Minister Hutchins in the not too distant future to talk in more detail about the projects and the benefits they will deliver.”

Ms Hutchins said the fund would help interface councils respond to rapid growth by building such things as family and community centres, town centres, parks and reserves, playgrounds and amenity facilities.

Ms Hutchins said the fund would address the unprecedented growth all 10 outer-suburban areas were facing, with work beginning on some pro-jects in the current financial year.

AUTHOR and illustrator Michael Leeworthy wants to help people find work.

He believes everyone has skills and with a bit of soul searching and en-couragement can market their natural abilities.

Hired “to motivate people” by agencies running Work for the Dole projects, Leeworthy says the experi-ence has shown him that “everyone has skills and they need to sit down and make a list of what they area”.

No stranger to trying to find work himself, Leeworthy describes himself as “a dropout at 16” but says he never collected unemployment benefits.

He had a willingness to try his hand at any job and says his list includes window dresser, interior decorator, sign writing management, artist, dishwasher, fencer, sign Installer, alfalfa sprout salesman, clothing rep, window cleaner, cartage contractor, encyclopedia salesman, male model, artist, cartoonist and house builder.

“I’m enthusiastic. I’m a workaholic, running two art galleries and working in schools,” Leeworthy says.

His time with Work for the Dole has inspired him to produce a Get a Job handbook, a “basic guide to self-employment”.

Leeworthy says he pleaded with his parents to send him to art school, but they wanted him to get a “proper job”.

His gallery at Red Hill is “a dream finally in fruition”.

He sees “serious thinking about

how to feed his family of five” while recuperating after a car accident as “the pivotal point” in his life.

Get a Job is designed “for people like myself, early school leavers or simply people who would like to give it a go and gain financial independence”.

He says it is written in a “simple-to-follow” way manner, with 40 pages and 32 illustrations.

“It covers areas like, dressing for the part and actual ways of getting the work,” Leeworthy says.

“The main point is that we all have

skills, skills that we take for granted, that can be turned into a business.

“It is designed to help people take the leap and take control of their work lives, whether it be for people starting from scratch, early school leavers or bridging the gap from your fulltime job.”

Leeworthy looked to his son Jesse for his next step towards publishing.

Jesse and his friend Jonathan Byrt last year sought backing for a new style of water bottle on the crowd funding website Kickstarter.

They needed $15,000 to get their Memo Bottle underway and were staggered when investors offered more than $220,000.

The Memo Bottle is now being produced in Thailand.

Leeworthy is aiming for a more modest $2000 for the initial print run of Get a Job and will soon list his idea on Kickstarter.

Meanwhile, anyone wanting to know more about his project can go to Get a Job on Facebook or call his Red Hill studio on 5989 2776.

ROGER Stanley has played many roles in life but always wanted to be a writer.

In recent years he set about this dream methodically, undertaking a graduate diploma in professional writing and editing at Chisholm Frankston, entering short stories and plays in writing awards, several of which he won, also taking advantage of mentorship from established Morn-ington Peninsula authors.

Then it was time for his novel. The first, published by Xlibris, is Spring Fever, a fast-paced detective thriller

set on the peninsula. The story follows Vicki Walker, the youngest detec-tive chief inspector in the state, who considers transfer to the fast growing suburb of Bayport as a stepping stone to the top. Her skills are tested with the discovery of a body just minutes from the Bayport police complex.

Stanley, of Crib Point, has delved into the minutiae of police procedure, forensic science, while keeping the story moving with insight to the per-sonal lives of his protagonists.

This is a far cry from his recent work taking groups on winery tours,

driving weddings in his veteran London cab and working as a strong advocate for the Crib Point Cemetery Trust, as well as tackling foreshore issues.

Stanley said he enjoyed the writing process so much he has embarked on the second novel in the series pursu-ing the career of Vicki Walker and her street-wise partner Tom Barton.

Novel approach to peninsula crime

Western Port News 7 July 2015 PAGE 5

TYABB horse breeder Peter Moran spends much of each week flying around the country picking up patients and taking them to Sydney, Mel-bourne and Adelaide hospitals.

He’s part of Angel Flight, which offers flight services to the sick and injured living in regional areas. He and his team provide a fast, free and safe service to those requiring medical treatment.

Under the scheme, pilots donate their time and aircraft to transport outlying patients into the city for care, saving them long road trips that would be beyond their physical capabilities, especially if recovering from the ef-fects of chemo and radiation thera-pies.

Mr Moran, 62, has just completed his 100th Angel Flight – this time from Hillston, western NSW, into Sydney. He flew from Tyabb – at his own expense – to Bankstown airport to collect a girl, 8, undergoing hospi-tal treatment for serious injuries, and her mother.

His generosity saved the family a nine hour drive and allowed them to return home to recover in familiar surroundings.

While not all these patients win their battles with illness, it is clear that they get more out of life thanks to An-gel Flight. Many do recover and are happy to acknowledge that the service has made a significant contribution towards their wellbeing.

“It’s a reality check for me,” Mr Moran said from his Stumpy Gully Rd property yesterday. “It brings home to me just how great my life has been and how lucky I am to be able to help others.”

After four years behind the controls of his Cessna 172, he still thrills to the smiles on the faces of his patients and the gratitude they have for someone content to help them for no reward.

One case involving a patient from Bright, in north-east Victoria, still has him emotionally involved years later: “I went up to transport a woman with stomach cancer and she vomited as soon as she got out of the car when she was driven to the airfield. I could see she was really ill.

“Flying her to the city for treatment was the only option and we made many flights together. I got to know her family and got personally attached to them.

“We probably bought her a year’s extra life and, of all my flights, that’s been the most meaningful.”

Giving to others runs in the family. Mr Moran’s wife, Janet, runs Riding for the Disabled on the peninsula and “gets a lot out of it.”

Up to 15 pilots from Tyabb have assisted with Angel flights over the years. “Once you see the difference it makes to people’s lives you get hooked,” Mr Moran said.

“As I get older I hope to do more for others. I feel privileged to have a pilot’s licence and to be healthy.”

To his surprise, in the early days he found that many patients had never been up in a light aircraft: some had

never flown at all. “One lady from a remote area did not open her eyes once, even though I was pointing out the sights all the way. She was very apprehensive.”

Reaching 100 “missions” didn’t become a goal until he reached No. 94: “It was then that I thought I would really like to do it. It was that and also the respect I had for the patients.”

Peninsula Aero Club is full of praise for Mr Moran and the other Angel Flight volunteer pilots.

“They get up at the crack of dawn and fly out to collect patients up to a thousand kilometres away, then fly them into the city and back again,” vice president Jack Vevers said.

“Sometimes Peter will stay over-night, paying for his own accom-modation, before collecting a patient in the morning. These are long days and often they are not home until well after dark – and all the while donating their own time and their aircraft.”

Although landing fees for Angel aircraft are waived and fuel is sup-plied by the patients, normal running expenses far outstrip these minor contributions.

“On the upside I have been to places that I wouldn’t normally go,” Mr Moran said.

Angel Flight is looking for more community support, perhaps from those who could act as an Earth Angel who volunteers to pick up patients from the airport and drive them to hospital. Others may prefer to offer cash donations. Those interested should log onto angelflight.org.au for more information.

Tree of Life loses its base for

THE removal of the Tree of Life sculp-ture from the Cranbourne Rd exit of Peninsula Link has sparked a social media backlash.

Drivers, including many who do not usually regard themselves as art lovers, have gone out on a limb and expressed their love for the huge sculpture which has towered over the Cranbourne Rd exit section of the freeway for the past two years.

Passers-by noticed workmen pulling the Tree of Life down last week. Thou-sands took to Facebook to publicly de-clare their fondness for the sculpture.

The unusual looking sculpture was repeatedly described as “beautiful” and many are sad to see it go.

The Tree of Life, a dynamic wind-activated sculpture designed by New Zealand artist Phil Price, will be moved to the McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park in Langwarrin for public display.

Former McClelland Gallery director Robert Lindsay is the consultant over-seeing the relocation of the much-loved sculpture.

He said the Tree of Life should be installed within the gallery grounds on Wednesday (8 July) subject to wind conditions on the day.

“It will be at the gallery and people can come along and have a look at it along with the other 120 works on the grounds for free. It’s just around the corner.”

Mr Lindsay understood Peninsula Link commuters’ attachment to the Tree of Life sculpture but said a new sculp-

ture will soon be installed at the Cran-bourne Rd exit site.

McClelland has a contract with Southern Way, owners of Peninsula Link, to install new artworks along the freeway every two years.

A towering 9-metre stainless steel gnome sculpture called Reflective Lullaby, by Slovenia born artist Gregor Kregar, is scheduled to be installed on Thursday 16 July.

“It’ll be fantastic. I suppose the point is they [sculptures] alternate,” Mr Lind-say said. “Some people will fall in love with different ones over the whole pro-gram but they’re not disappearing from the area. They’ll just move around.”

Mr Kregar, who is based in New Zea-land, told radio station 3AW his Reflec-tive Lullaby sculpture had been selected by McClelland from several entries to replace the Tree of Life.

“It’s quite an exciting opportunity. I’m really looking forward to have a sculpture of that kind of scale and so on in Australia.”

He said he has been “interested in gnomes for quite a while” as mythical creatures rather than “Disneyesque” characters.

Mr Lindsay said the interest and debate around the Peninsula Link art-works is a positive for Frankston.

The freeway sculptures are com-missioned and owned by McClelland, through funds donated by Southern Way.

The public-private partnership, The Southern Way McClelland Sculpture Commissions, will see 14 major sculp-tures displayed over 25 years until the year 2037.

The story of iceWHAT’S the real story with ice? is the title of a free community forum 6.30-9pm, Tuesday 4 August, at the Penin-sula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. It is being presented by Peninsula Voice.

Organiser Peter Orton says there has been a significant increase in public concern about the use of crystal meth-amphetamine, also known as ice.

“This forum will dispel some of the common myths and will counter the hysteria that has emerged in the media,” he said.

“It will provide empirical evidence regarding the drug and provide people with tangible steps we can each take to move the incidence of addiction in a different direction.”

Victoria Police Assistant Commis-sioner Stephen Fontana will provide an overview of the prevalence of ice and substance abuse in the state.

Peninsula Health Alcohol and Other Drugs manager Stephen Bright will discuss the key drivers and behaviours for ice and other drug use, as well as the myths of Ice and local resources and support services available.

Australian Drug Foundation Information and Research head Julie Rae will discuss the steps individuals and the community can take to effect meaningful long-term change, and

Master-of-ceremonies and Minds at Work director Jason Clark will act as conversation facilitator.

Those interested in attending should register online at trybooking.com/IGLF

Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa El-liott said those wanting to hold a space in the foyer at the forum should con-tact her at 320 Main St, Mornington.

By Vic Jeremiah* HASTINGS Football Club legend Bob Stone, 90, died at Inverloch in June where he had lived in retirement for the past 30 years.

Mr Stone was a member of the Stone family, pioneers of Somers. He displayed a lot of early sporting talent and, at 16, was selected at the Melbourne Football Club where he played eight games in 1942, 1943 and 1949.

A statement by the club – read at his funeral – said Mr Stone played “in the darkest days of the club, a wartime generation that, according to coach Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes, ‘played like Demons’.” From this came the side’s nickname.

Mr Stone was acknowledged in the club’s 1943 annual report for being awarded a bronze medallion by the Royal Humane Society.

“He was one of many who played through the war years, as well as immediately post war, and who made an invaluable contribution to keep the red and blue colours playing in time of conflict,” the club said.

In the post-war years Mr Stone was the outstanding centre half back in the Mornington Peninsula Football League and was a dominant player for Hastings when it won consecutive premierships in 1946, 1947, and 1948.

From 1946-1948 and 1950-1958 he played 165 senior games with Hastings and is one of the club’s most decorated players, winning the best and fairest award five times. He coached the side in 1950 and 1953.

As well as his success at club level, Mr Stone is the only player in the history of the Morning-ton Peninsula Football League to win its best and fairest award four times.

In 2008 he was selected as centre half back in the league’s Team of the Century and at that position when Hastings chose its Team of the

Century in 2013.Before his move to Essendon, another

Hastings club legend, John Coleman, had no hesitation in nominating former team mate Bob Stone when asked to nominate the best all round footballer that he had seen in action.

Mr Stone and wife Jean, who passed away six months ago, were lifelong friends of Coleman’s brother Albert and his wife Joy. Coleman and the two highly-respected families spent many enjoy-able times together.

Coincidentally, Mr Stone and Albert Cole-man played alongside one another in Hastings premiership teams – at centre half back and half back flank respectively.

Mr Stone’s funeral was held on Monday 29 June at the Stony Creek Sportsman’s Club where he had been a past player and coach.

He will be remembered by the older residents of Hastings not only as a wonderfully gifted sportsman, but also as a thorough gentleman.

Hastings mourns loss of another footy legend

POLICE, ambulance and fire brigade officers worked frantically to clear Nepean Hwy, Mt Eliza, last Wednesday (1 June) after a ute and a van collided at the intersection of Mt Eliza Way.

The van burst into flames following the crash and heavy smoke blanketed the intersection.

Two men were treated at the scene. One, a 77-year-old, was taken by ambulance to the Al-fred hospital where he was reportedly in a stable condition on Thursday.

Hastings highway patrol and Mornington po-

lice attended the scene along with Mt Eliza CFA and Frankston SES. The speed limit along this stretch of road is 80kph.

Senior Constable John Shields, of the highway patrol, said it appeared the van was attempting a right hand turn into Mt Eliza Way while the ute was travelling north along the highway when they collided at 4.45pm. Both vehicles were described as write-offs.

Witnesses to the collision should contact Hast-ings Highway Patrol on 5970 7800.

THE debate around legalising same-sex marriage in Australia gathered pace last week after the United States Supreme Court ruled that nation’s Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage.

The US is the latest in a series of western countries – including the UK and Ireland – to legalise marriage for gays and lesbians.

Federal politicians are facing in-creased pressure to follow suit in Aus-tralia but the possibility has deeply divided politicians within both the Liberal and Labor parties.

It is no different in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt supports a ‘con-science vote’ by federal MPs on the legalisation of same-sex marriage. Fellow Liberal MP for Dunkley and Small Business Minister Bruce Bill-son opposes its legalisation.

“I am a firm believer in equal rights and I have made my views on this known publicly,” Mr Hunt said in a

MPs’ views differ over same-sex marriage

Divided on marriage proposal: Federal Liberal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, above, believes same-sex marriage should not be legalised. Fellow Liberal Flinders MP Greg Hunt, right, favours a ‘conscience vote’ in Parliament for all MPs.

statement provided by electorate of-fice staff.

“I anticipate that the Party Room will consider the issue in the near fu-ture and I am very comfortable with a free vote (a conscience vote) taking place.”

According to parliamentary records, Mr Hunt has previously voted against any legislation put before Parliament supporting any changes to the Mar-riage Act (1961) to move towards le-

gally recognising same-sex marriage.Mr Hunt was in Germany for the

latest UNESCO World Heritage Com-mittee meeting last week so was una-vailable for further comment.

Mr Billson, unlike his Liberal col-league, is not for wavering on the sub-ject.

The Small Business Minister said he stood by the policy the Abbott govern-ment took to the 2010 election before winning power.

“That’s the policy we took to the election and that’s the policy I’ve been holding myself accountable to,” he said.

Mr Billson said he is not as “acti-vated” about the same-sex marriage debate “as many others”.

“I place great weight in the quality of the relationship and not necessar-ily the way it is characterised or de-scribed.

“I’m thrilled for people to find love where they find love but I do always try to uphold my undertakings and that was an undertaking I gave.”

Isaacs federal Labor MP Mark Drey-fus said he is “a long-standing support-er” of marriage equality.

“I believe that our nation should treat all of its citizens as equally as possible, including through marriage laws,” he said.

“I am not persuaded that it will harm our society to permit same sex couples who love each other and are committed to sharing their lives, to marry. I also cannot see that it harms any presently married couple, or the institution of marriage itself, to permit same sex cou-ples to marry.

Mr Dreyfus said he would vote in favour of marriage equality when the next Bill to establish marriage equal-ity comes before Parliament, as he has done in the past.

Ultra conservative Liberal MPs Eric Abetz and Cory Bernardi have criticised some within their own party. Mr Abetz said last week that any frontbenchers who want to legalise same-sex marriage should resign from cabinet and move to the back bench.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has downplayed the chances of a private member’s bill on same sex-marriage being debated and put to a vote.

Mr Billson said he had previously pushed for a “committed life partner-ship” to be formally recognised so gays and lesbians can celebrate their union in the presence of family and friends.

“That seemed quite a positive step forward that respected the ambitions of same-sex couples but also respected the deep and long-standing feelings that others have that marriage is a commit-ment between a man and a woman and there’s a whole range of traditional reli-gious and other reasons why other peo-ple feel so strongly about it.”

A PRAYER vigil is the latest action by peninsula Christians to pressure the federal government over its asy-lum seeker policies.

More than 50 people joined three Uniting Church ministers for a 90-minute vigil outside St Mark’s Church in Mornington on a cold Sun-day afternoon last week.

It was organised by Reverends John Haig (Mornington), Paul Chalson (Mt Martha) and Cameron McAdam (Mt Eliza). It was followed by a sausage sizzle with proceeds going to Dande-nong Asylum Seeker Centre.

Rev McAdam said most Morning-ton churches had representatives at the vigil.

He and other Christians have taken a high profile in recent months over asylum seeker policies including pro-testing outside the Frankston office of federal MP Bruce Billson, the Minis-ter for Small Business, late last year.

The protest came just days after the federal government made sweeping changes to the nation’s immigration laws, including agreeing to remove all children in camps on Christmas Is-land, but not children in other camps such as Nauru.

Rev McAdam said he and other

Speaking out: About 50 people attended a prayer vigil in Mornington for asylum seekers. Picture: Cameron McCullough

Churches maintain push on refugees

Christians would continue to lobby the government and push their views out into the community while children re-mained in detention.

“There are still 81 children on Nauru and 138 children in detention on the Australian mainland,” he said. “The government must release all children

from detention, close offshore deten-tion centres, and introduce a fairer and more reasonable policy approach including a regional solution in the future.”

Rev McAdam and his two Uniting Church colleagues are also members of the loose alliance of Christians called Love Makes a Way, members of which have held protest sit-ins at the local offices of federal govern-ment politicians including Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s at Hastings, where Rev McAdam and several others were arrested by police.

The 44-year-old minister was ap-pointed to the Mt Eliza parish 10 months ago.

He publicly entered the refugee debate after the Rudd Labor govern-ment hardened asylum seeker rules in mid-2013 when it announced arrivals would not be settled in Australia, and that offshore detention centres closed in 2008 would be reopened, includ-ing Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.

“We prayed not just for asylum seekers trying to reach Australia but for all displaced people in the world including Africans trying to reach Eu-rope, and Rohingya from Burma and Bangladeshis trying to escape perse-cution and crushing poverty in Asia,” he said.

“There are more than 50 million refugees worldwide with 11.7 million at highest risk, according to the United Nations refugee agency. In 2012, only 88,000 were resettled. Australia took just 6.7 per cent. Australia’s overall intake in 2013 was 34,500, 48th in the world for number of refugees hosted but 74th measured against economic wealth.”

Vigil attendees heard from a Filipino asylum seeker and Christian minister who was tortured in his own country and falsely accused of murder, refu-gee advocate Jill Ruzbacky, and Love Makes a Way member Jake Doleschal.

More prayer vigils will be held this year.n Rev McAdam’s podcast sermons, including one about fear and anger be-ing pushed by the federal government, go to mteliza.unitingchurch.org.au

Transfield manages refugee centresTHE company that mows the grass at your local peninsula park also runs refugee centres at Manus Island and Nauru for the federal government.

Transfield Services was asked to reopen the Nauru centre by the Labor government in late 2012. The company won the right to operated Manus Island off the coast of Papua New Guinea earlier this year after London-based G4S lost the contract following a riot in early 2013 and the death of Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati.

Transfield is receiving $1.2 billion to operate the two centres for 20 months.

The company employs 24,000 people in 11 countries. It was founded as an engineering company in 1956 by Italian migrant Franco Belgiorno-Nettis who was soon joined by Carlo Salteri. The pair met on the Snowy Mountain hydroelectric scheme, and

Transfield initially constructed high-voltage power lines before expanding into shipbuilding, energy, defence, government services and infrastructure.

Following a feud between the two families in 1995, the empire was split into Transfield and Tenix. Tenix was sold to listed engineering services firm Downer EDI for $300 million last October.

Late last year, Spanish infrastructure group Ferrovial Servicios offered $2 a share for Transfield in a takeover bid, valuing the company at close to $1 billion, but the offer was rejected by the board.

Transfield shares traded above $10 in 2007 before the global financial crisis.

The company recently signed a lucrative five-year deal with NBN Co to roll out the national broadband network.

Transfield Holdings, a privately held company owned by the Belgiorno-Nettis family, sold its 11.3 per cent stake in Transfield Services for more than $90 million last September. Mike Hast

Continued from Page 1The shire awarded its first infrastructure contract to Trans-

field in early 1997 after the shire disbanded its maintenance department. At the time the contract was the biggest of its type in Victoria and was worth $9.7 million in the first year.

In March 2013, the shire signed three new contracts with Transfield worth a total of $190 million over 10 years for management and maintenance of the shire’s $1.4 billion of assets – buildings, furniture, signs, parks and roadsides. It also covered customer service and community engagement services.

The shire had its own rumble with the ASU in March after it was taken to the Fair Work Commission, which ordered the shire to stop laying off staff and negotiate with those who had been terminated by new CEO Carl Cowie.

On Friday, Transfield told The News in a statement that “the Australian Service Union took protected industrial ac-tion as part of the Mornington Peninsula Shire contract En-terprise Bargaining Agreement negotiation”.

“ASU members stopped work to meet on Wednesday 1 July from about” 7.30am to 4pm. “ASU members returned to work on Thursday 2 July to recommence normal duties.

“Transfield Services continues to be committed to bar-gaining in good faith with our workforce and their rep-resentatives for a new enterprise agreement that includes provision for a reasonable wage increase that is sustainable without compromising the viability of our fixed-price con-tract with” the shire.

The shire’s infrastructure director Alison Leighton said Transfield had advised the shire that any industrial action would not impact on the delivery of services, which in-cluded “maintenance of 1730 hectares of active and pas-sive open spaces including foreshores, roadsides and four shire-maintained cemeteries” as well as “maintenance of more than 600 shire buildings, including security, energy management, cleaning, graffiti management and essential services”.

Planting timeRecent published photographs of the Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt encouraging children to grow a plant are commendable. However, that is where the commendation stops.

To plant 20 million plants (let’s not talk trees, but vegetation, unless our minister is hell bent on destroying our plant diversity) so that they will be well established by 2020 to soak up Co2 needs considerable planning.

The land needs to be found, pur-chased or set aside. It must be cleared of already established weeds and fenced if necessary against feral pests (including humans).

Experienced and knowledgeable people must be found who know our indigenous plants, what to plant, when and where. Seeds have to be collected or cuttings made.

Nurseries will be necessary to estab-lish the stock. Crews will be necessary for planting and maintenance for at least the first year.

This program is Australia wide so nurseries will be required in every

region.The lead time to collect the seeds

and cuttings could be at least two years

May I suggest that as the minis-ter plans to cut down many of the established forest to burn in the power stations he might add a few more mil-lion to this figure to make up for the trees lost.

What will be the results of failing to meet the 20 million figure by the year 2020.

Drained awayCongratulations for publishing Tim Flannery’s article preserving Port Phillip (‘To preserve Port Phillip, Melbourne should learn from Syd-ney’, The News 23/6/15). He stressed the fact that urbanisation of the land surrounding Port Phillip means more run off and more pollution to the bay via the storm water drains that discharge into it.

All predictions are that climate change will further increase this dis-

charge. However, bringing contami-nants into Port Phillip is not the only damage these drains can do.

While most drains are operated by local government the larger ones and many creeks are the responsibility of Melbourne Water which has some 14 drains discharging to Mornington Peninsula beaches.

As well as carrying urban street wastes along with storm water many of these drain outlets simply discharge across the beaches robbing users of enjoyable beach space by leaving deep scour channels and pits of unsafe and stagnant waste water.

Drains are assessed operable if the water is simply discharged, without regard to loss of amenity or their ugly appearance.

In 2010 Melbourne Water engaged with the peninsula community in assessing the best way to identify and improve drain outlets that are in most need of capital work and received many submissions leading to the iden-tification of three of highest need.

Not surprisingly these included the ugly drain at Dromana pier, which had

been the subject of a Parliamentary petition in 2011 seeking improve-ment. Despite raising expectations of some early works, in December 2013 Melbourne Water announced it was abandoning any plans to perform capi-tal works in favour of “a unique and comprehensive maintenance regime to reduce the visual impact and increase amenity” near drain outlets.

Sadly, it seems budget pressures are ensuring these lofty intentions cannot be met. Beach goers can judge how effective the new regime has been by viewing the ugly outlets at the Dromana pier, the car park at Heales St, Dromana and that opposite the Avenue, McCrae - the three drains Melbourne Water identified as being in most need of major work.

The only unique aspect of the new maintenance regime apparent so far is that some drains have never been in such poor condition.

The beaches of the peninsula are a shared resource and Melbourne Water should realise that as a return for the convenience of using the bay as a dumping place for storm water wastes

it should make every effort to ensure that the beaches are not overly dam-aged and remain the prime attraction they have always been for the penin-sula community and visitors.

THE state government has ended plans for a multi-million plan for a commercial development at Point Nepean National Park based around a luxury hotel and thermal springs.

Although it may cost up to $1 mil-lion to break the 49-year lease signed off by the previous Liberal/National coalition six weeks before the No-vember 2014 election, the government says its decision will prevent “inap-propriate development” at the park.

The focus on what to do with the park will now swing back to a mas-ter plan developed five years ago but dropped when Labor lost power.

Ending the lease entered into with the Point Leisure Group has been criti-cised by Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Liberal Nepean MP Martin Dixon who issued almost identical statements claiming the possible $1 million payout was a waste of money.

They also said cancellation of the project meant the of a “$100 million project that would have delivered some 400 jobs”.

Soon after the project launch in July 2014 by then Premier Denis Napthine, its cost was lowered to $40m and the extent of the lease revealed to cover 64 hectares, not just the recognised Quar-antine Station precinct.

The claim about a $100m “invest-ment” by Point Leisure Group was repeated on Friday by the Victoria Tourism Industry Council whose chief executive Dianne Smith said scrap-ping the lease “has the potential to di-

Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan

minish private sector confidence in in-vesting in Victorian tourism projects”.

“Our industry saw this as a litmus test for future developments and there is now concern regarding investment in innovative, job creating new tour-ism projects in Victoria,” Ms Smith said in a news release distributed by the Opposition. The release also in-cluded comments from Opposition tourism spokesperson, Heidi Victoria.

Mr Guy stated last week that the Labor government is “doing their best to scare off projects that would deliver jobs, in-vestment and new opportunities".

The government’s decision has been applauded by the Victorian National Parks Association which said the pub-lic would not now be locked out of many areas of Point Nepean.

“Plans by the Napthine government to hand over significant sections of Point Nepean National Park to private developers under a 50-year lease were deeply flawed,” VNPA director Matt Ruchel said.

“National parks belong to all Victo-rians and should not be handed over to developers so that they can build ex-clusive resorts.

“Any compensation now payable to the developer should be laid at the feet of the former Napthine government for signing up to such a flawed proposal in the first place.”

Long-time Point Nepean campaigner Kate Baillieu described plans by the Point Leisure Group as being “ex-tremely flawed, too big and inappro-priate from the word go”.

She said the lease had been a “shame-ful decision” by the Napthine govern-ment, which “tore up years of com-munity consultation about what was appropriate and what would work”.

“It’s not surprising people opposed the [Point Leisure Group’s] plan.”

“Melbourne University never con-firmed its involvement and yet that was announced [by Mr Napthine] as a fait accompli.”

Ms Baillieu is confident the five-

year-old master plan “won’t need much updating”.

“[The government] now needs to make it available for the public to see what everyone had agreed on and, ba-sically, get on with it,” she said.

Ms Baillieu said the master plan al-lowed commercial activities, including a hotel and other types of accommoda-tion, but under individual leases.

“Power should be restored to parks Victoria and funding provided to con-tinue the good work that they started in there.”

Ms Baillieu thought it “a cheek” if the Point Leisure Group received com-pensation for maintenance which had continued to be carried out by Parks Victoria.

“The plan was deeply flawed without doubt and the area was to be renamed The Point [instead of the Quarantine Station], obliterating history.”

Acting Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister, Gavin Jennings, said the government “will

look to refresh the 2010 draft master plan, ensuring it reflects current poli-cy, community views, and future op-portunities for the site”.

The Point Leisure Group’s project accepted by the previous government, according to Mr Napthine, included a marine education and research pre-cinct with Melbourne University; ther-mal pools and spa; a health and well-ness centre; luxury and camping style accommodation; shops, cafes and res-taurants; and a heritage museum “that will bring the park’s history to life”.

In a July 2014 government news release directors of The Point Leisure Group, Richard and Trine Shelmer-dine, said they felt “very privileged to be part of a project that will revitalise a place that has played such an impor-tant role in Australia’s history”.

“This will redefine Victorian tour-ism and create a world-class health and wellness destination that will inspire visitors to discover, unwind, and participate in the wonders of this area.”

Last week’s cancellation of the lease with the Point Leisure Group, it also makes good a statement by for-mer Labor premier Steve Bracks who told told ABC TV viewers on election night that the new government would have a look at the contract signed for the geothermal spa and accommoda-tion-based project at Point Nepean National park.

The following day Mr Dixon warned that ripping it up could lead to compensation being sought by the developer.

The News was unable to contact Mr Shelmerdine on Thursday.

HASTINGS footballers wore black armbands when playing Crib Point on Saturday 20 June as a mark of respect for former player and Olympian, the late Ron Clarke.

Clarke, 78, died on the Gold Coast on Wednesday 17 June. who died played 26 games with the club in 1960 and 1961 wearing the No. 17 jumper. The Hastings connection came about when, in a casual conversation at Essendon with his mentor, John Cole-man, Clarke mentioned that he was missing his football and thought play-ing again might make him physically stronger. Coleman suggested he play with his old club, Hastings.

Ironically, Clarke played at full-forward, the position Coleman had filled with such distinction in the 1947 and 1948 premiership teams.

Clarke also played at Essendon in the under-19s and reserves but later let his football drop to focus on athletics.

Together with legendary athlete John Landy, Clarke features in a bronze sculpture at Melbourne’s Olympic Park. It captures an incident in the 1500 metres final of the 1956 Australian National Championships before the Olympic Games when Clarke fell. Landy stopped and dou-bled back to check if he was OK, and then made up a large deficit to win the race.

Clarke was the 1500 metre world junior champion when he was chosen to light the Olympic flame at the opening of the 1956 Melbourne Games.

He became one of the best known middle and long distance runners in the 1960s, setting 17 world records

but never winning Olympic or Com-monwealth gold.

He competed at the Tokyo and Mexico City Olympics for a bronze medal in the 10,000 metres at Tokyo and at three Commonwealth Games (Perth, Kingston, and Edinburgh) for four silver medals.

In 1968, Clarke visited Czecho-slovakian long distance runner Emil Zatopek who won three gold medals at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952. Zatopek knew of Clarke’s bad luck, particularly in Mexico City when he nearly died of altitude sickness.

As Clarke was leaving Zatopek handed him a small parcel, say-ing “Because you deserve it”, and requesting Clarke to open it later. It was, in fact, Zatopek’s gold medal for the 10,000 metres which he had won at Helsinki.

Armbands salute Hastings footballer Ron ClarkeTHE kitchen at Willum Warrain, in Pound Rd, Hastings, has been badly damaged by an electrical fire.

The room is central gathering place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders from the Mornington Penin-sula and Frankston areas.

Hastings CFA put out the flames, but not before the intense heat and toxicity had badly damaged the contents.

“It was a timely reminder to have contents insurance, working smoke detectors and, if electrical items are donated, to ensure they are tagged and tested regularly,” manager Kirsty Bell said. “The small kitchen was the hub of the gathering place where the hun-dreds of visitors who have dropped into Willum Warrain were welcomed with a cuppa before being taken on a tour of the premises. It was also home

to the Koories in the Kitchen healthy cooking program, which has been placed on hold.”

Routine services including ECG, BP Monitor and Holter Monitor. Ample parking available.

Pathology is a medical specialty that focuses on determining the cause and nature of diseases. By examining and testing body tissues (e.g. biopsies, pap smears) and fluids (e.g. blood, urine) pathology helps doctors diagnose and treat patients correctly.

The broad disciplines covered by a pathology lab are Biochemistry (serum), Haematology (blood), Microbiology (viruses and bacteria), Immunology (autoimmune diseases and allergies), Histology (tissue), Cytology (cells) and Genetics (DNA).

Pathology is integral to healthcare, providing doctors with answers they need to effectively diagnose and manage countless medical conditions. 70% of medical treatment decisions rely on pathology results and early detection of disease through essential pathology testing can prevent more serious conditions at a later stage. 100% of all cancer is diagnosed through pathology.

Without pathology, the high standard of Australian medicine would be impossible. All pathologists first undertake a medical degree followed by additional years of training in their chosen discipline.

Dorevitch Pathology is a leading provider of pathology and medical diagnostic services who have been supporting the local Peninsula and Western Port community for over 20 years, keeping testing and employment local. This includes a team of six pathologists, headed by Dr Steuart Rorke. We are committed to continuing that support for the long term.

The Dorevitch Pathology laboratory at Frankston Hospital primarily provides pathology services for Peninsula Health

facilities at Frankston and Rosebud Hospitals, The Mornington Centre, Golf Links Road and other associated facilities. There are additional Dorevitch Pathology laboratories at Beleura Private Hospital in Mornington and Peninsula Private Hospital in Frankston.

These local Dorevitch laboratories offer services in all disciplines including Biochemistry, Microbiology, Histopathology, Haematology, Blood Bank and Cytology. Autologous blood collection and Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) for cytological examination are also performed at the 24-hour laboratory.

Collection services are provided by blood collection rounds within hospital sites, and outpatients are able to attend Dorevitch Pathology collection rooms at this hospitals for specimen collection prior to their outpatient appointments. There are many other collection centers in the region where patients are able to attend, with no need for an appointment except for specialized tests.

The vision of Dorevitch Pathology is to offer pathology services providing superior quality, speed and convenience of service, by the most modern facilities and processes, using highly trained and experienced staff and with the additional advantage of Pathologist consultation covering all medical disciplines.

Dorevitch Pathology are proud of their association with the Westernport area and Peninsula Health. Our mission is to deliver better insights into the health of more Australians.

have long specialised in the sale and repair of mobility scooters and home mobility products, and have now introduced a whole new range of living aids.

Proof that a good business is constantly growing and keeping with the times, Westernport Mobility have expanded into health care products in the home.

Owner Ray Percival says it’s part of providing a wider service to the community.

“We now have lift chairs which are ideal for when people have had operations like hip replacements. They might need a lift chair temporarily after surgery, or they might need one full time in their home,” says Ray. “At Westernport Mobility, you can either hire or buy depending on your needs.”

Another part of the new range is products to help those with rheumatism.

“We have jar and bottle openers, and other home aids like special cutlery for those with arthritis, that help people maintain an independent life,” says Ray.

At Westernport Mobility, it’s all about supplying products that make it easier for everyday living.

You can buy or hire most products, including mobility scooters, beds, lift chairs, walking aids, and living aids.

“Since opening the new store in

Hastings we have been able to expand and improve our range for the community,” says Ray.

Westernport Mobility has qualified

service technicians to provide clients with prompt and expert repairs and service.

With its number one commitment to customer service, Westernport Mobility

offer home demonstrations of products as well.

Westernport Mobility is at Shop 7, 28 Victoria Street, Hastings.

■ RETIREMENT VILLAGEHEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

St. John’s Retirement Village is well into its 31st year of community service. Residents contribute their time and expertise to help others in the village and the local community as well as supporting several charities. Along the way, there is a lot of fun and some wonderful friendships made.

Friday mornings are a buzz of excitement as an enthusiastic group of Residents happily operate the weekly Card Stall to raise funds in support of the Chaplaincy in the Schools program.

The Market Stall operates monthly and is a wonderful opportunity to browse amongst

the treasures to find a bargain. Home baked goodies or fresh garden vegetables are often available.

Studio 18 is a happy place on Tuesday mornings as the art group get together and share their knowledge. Some have never held a paintbrush until they retired and found the time to discover their hidden talent.

The computer group is another sharing and learning mix of Residents and those who have mastered the intricacies of these enigmatic machines, make the beginners feel very welcome.

The Wishart Workshop is the place where the men gather to work and make toys to spread

some Christmas cheer to those less fortunate. The ladies in the Knitting Group make rugs to donate to charity, all of which are gratefully received.

It is amazing how many gold coins accumulate in a bucket at the Drama Group presentations. This dedicated group of Residents thoroughly enjoy the rehearsals and the grand performance evening is nonstop laughter - all to raise funds for the children in the slums of Thailand.

All of these friendship groups contribute to St. John’s Retirement Village being “The Perfect Place to Live”.

Expert help for children’s foot and leg concernsThere are some common observations and issues related to children’s feet and legs that parents are often concerned about. We asked Muscu-loskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify some of these.

Flat Feet: Contrary to popular belief the ap-pearance of flat feet in children, is NOT usually cause for concern. However, if there is associ-ated pain, balance issues or excessive rolling inward of the ankles, parents should seek profes-sional assistance.

Pigeon Toe & Out Toe: The appearance of in-toeing (‘pigeon toed’) or out-toeing (‘duck feet’), can affect the capacity of a child to run, jump and balance well. These issues may be as-sisted during a child’s developmental years and should be checked.

Growing Pains: Growing pains are very common and are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones. The exact na-ture of the pain should be determined as soon as possible, so should definitely be checked.

Shin Pain: Medial tibial stress syndrome, ante-rior leg pain and compartment syndrome are all commonly referred to as shin splints. Any shin pain should be checked.

“If your child regularly complains of foot or leg pain or has balance or mobility issues you should get it checked by an experienced muscu-loskeletal podiatrist experienced. The good news is, with proper diagnosis and correct treatment most issues can be addressed quite easily,” says Dr. Kavanagh.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics are experts in assisting

foot and leg pain, injuries and degenerative is-sues and have been the chosen experts by some of the World’s Best Athletes and thousands of people just like you. You can get expert advice at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics locations across Mel-bourne and the Mornington Peninsula, including Mt Eliza, Rye and Cheltenham.

The following programme was gone through:- Mrs McCormack, overture, piano; Master Tait and chorus, song. ‘John Bull junior.’ This was a very popular item, and they were vocifer-ously encored. Misses Croskell and Sherlock sang a duet very nicely. A comic song entitled ‘Tommy’ was well sung by Mr Speed, who speedily established himself as a favorite with the audience, and received an encore. Mr Ellis, song; Miss Grey, song; Mas-ter Arthur Ryan, song; Miss Bowell song; Miss McLean, recitation; song Mr W. Cain; song Master L, Ryan (encored); Mr Speed, comic song, (en-cored); Messes Allpress and Slattery, duet (encored); Miss McLean, recita-tion; Master Tait song,’It’s nice when ye love a wee lassie,’ (encore); Miss O. Sherlock acted as accompanist dur-ing the evening in her usual efficient manner. Mr W. J. Oates (President of the Shire) then came on the stage and spoke on the necessity of the young men taking up drill, and doing all they could to make themselves fit to be of service to their country in the present crisis. A short dance to music supplied by Mr F. Hanton, brought a very pleas-ant evening’s amusement to a close.

***IT is our painful duty to record the death of another well known identity of Frankston, in the person of Mr P. Dial, which sad event occurred on Tuesday afternoon last, after a long and painful illness, at the age of 63 years. The deceased was born in Durham, England, and came to the colony as a little boy and received his training as a teacher at St Paul’s Normal School, Melbourne, and was employed by the Education Department for nearly 40 years, having then to retire owing to ill health. After leaving training, he went as as-sistant and was in charge of schools at Donald, Trafalgar, Mitcham, Sale, Rushworth, Seymour, and Frankston. He built such pleasant connections at the latter place that he always want-ed to come back and settle, which he eventually did. He was a great sufferer with asthma for 20 years, and this was the reason for his gradual withdrawing from tak-ing an active part in local affairs. He filled the position of vestryman at St Pauls Church of England, and was for a time treasurer. He was held in high esteem at the university and respected by all who knew him. The remains were buried in the Frankston cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, the Rev G. A.Kitchen of-ficiating. He leaves a widow and family of two daughters (Mrs L. R. N. Uther and Mrs. H. Robertson) and one son, Harold, (who is at present with the Expeditionary Forces at the

front) to mourn their loss.***

THE Mechanics’ Hall was packed with an enthusiastic audience on Wednesday evening, to listen to rea-sons why everyone, who was able, should enlist at the present juncture, and lend a hand to crush the enemy who are using every means in their vast power to overthrow the world. The hon. sec. (Dr Plowman) who, since the inaugural meeting last week, has worked indefatigably to ensure the success of this week of special recruit-ing, not only in Frankston, but right through the shire, having organised meetings at Somerville and Hastings, which were held on Thursday and last evening respectively, was fortunate in securing the services of such talented speakers as Sir John Madden, and Sir William Irvine for Frankston, and those who heard these gentlemen on Wednesday evening must have been delighted with the clear and vivid views expressed by the speakers, who brought home to everyone, in words and pictures, the awful consequences that would ensue if the Germans were successful in their aims.

***AUSTRALIA Day will be celebrated by a huge Fancy Fair in aid of the Australian wounded fund. The fair is to be given by the Somerville Social Club,in the Fruitgrowers hall on July 30th and 31st.

By Stuart McCulloughIT’S official: listening to heavy metal music makes you happy. Upon hearing the news I raced home and destroyed every album in the house by Angus and Julia Stone, Jack Johnson and eve-ry other surfing hippie that isn’t Jack Johnson but sounds exactly like him. I’ll admit that, for a moment, I felt fan-tastic. However, none of these albums were mine and their destruction – even if in the name of science – was some-what controversial and so my sense of euphoria was short lived. Until now, I’d always thought the reason those guys in Metallica were so happy was because they’d just had a money fight in which they’d tossed wads of cash at each other, but it turns out it’s the music rather than the financial recom-pense that’s the cause of all this joy.

According to the study, heavy metal makes you happy because it empa-thizes with you when you’re down. In that sense, it’s kind of like Blues mu-sic. But surely the explanation can’t be that simple? There must be some-thing more to it than mere aural em-pathy? Heavy metal is so much more than music: it’s a way of life. Forget the Dalai Lama and burn your self-help books, we should all embrace the metal lifestyle in order to find the happiness we all so richly deserve. To understand why heavy metal music is the cause for such delight and unmiti-gated bliss, it is necessary to consider the elements of metal.

Tight pants. If you don’t own a pair of tight pants, get some without fur-ther delay. And when I say ‘tight’ I’m talking about something that’s more or less a second skin and causes a ‘pre-

served fruit’ effect on your delicate areas. I mean tight. Not only is it a superb look that’s forever fashionable, it’s crucial if you want to reach the high notes as you sing along to Iron Maiden’s ‘Run For the Hills’. Criti-cally, it robs parts of your anatomy from an over-supply of blood. This,

I feel, makes life in general a lot less complicated. The band Madness may well have extolled the virtues of Baggy Trousers and this, I feel, goes some way to explaining why the group was named ‘Madness’ and not ‘Hap-piness’. True bliss is found in tight pants.

The Double Kick Drum. Within the genre of heavy metal music, the use of the double kick drum is nigh on man-datory. But elsewhere, it’s as rare as a left-handed hammer. Scour the col-lected works of Britney Spears and nary a double kick drum you will find. Indeed, the lack of double kick drum may well be a contributing factor to Celine Dion’s slide into obscurity. There’s something wonderfully over the top about a double kick drum. It is a glorious thing that someone, some-where once asked: why make do with one kick drum when you can have two? Given the vast majority of drum-mers are equipped with two feet rather than one, it’s a compelling question. It’s also a declaration: there’s no hid-ing when the drummer has a double kick drum. Setting up a double kick drum says: we pledge allegiance to heavy metal, regardless of the ridicule and opprobrium it brings us. It’s to be admired.

Pale Skin. It’s often said that ex-posure to the sun is vital for produc-ing vitamin B without which we are doomed to misery. That’s rubbish. Be-ing left at the mercy of the sun is an invitation to sunburn, not happiness. True contentment is a studio tan. The pastier the better. It screams devotion to the art of metal at the expense of everything else, especially outdoor exercise.

Proper Band Names. You can keep ‘Hootie and the Blowfish’ – it sounds like a children’s picture book. ‘The Beatles’ is an affront to spelling. ‘The Hooters’ sang about ‘All You Zom-bies’ before quitting the business and opening a chain of restaurants. Just

as we knew they always would. ‘The Foo Fighters’ should be a cartoon, not a rock band. Even worse are those bands that decide to double down. Du-ran Duran. Mr. Mister. Talk Talk. All of them equally dreadful. Frankly, the state of band names outside of metal are abysmal. Real bands have names that mean something; like Slayer, Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth and The Tony Danza Tapdance Extrava-ganza.

The Mullet. It truly is the prince of haircuts. More than that, it’s about balance. Heavy metal is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the mullet haircut. Once, it roamed throughout pop music like a gigantic Tyranno-saurus Rex, but just like that majestic beast, it is now pretty much extinct. Except, that is, within the world of metal. Business up front, party at the back: what more can you ask for from a haircut?

Head-banging. It’s something you just don’t get with Kanye West. There’s something very primal about throwing yourself back and forward in time with the music. Forget dancing and anything that involves your hips.

Science has spoken. Resistance is futile. No further correspondence will be entered in to. Instead of a balanced diet and plenty of sunlight, I should have been standing in front of a Mar-shall Stack and hammering on to my heart’s content. The answer is clear: I must surrender to metal if I ever want to be happy. It’s time to slip into some black jeans and let the ecstasy begin. Metal rules!

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntRYE cannot win this season’s Nepean League premiership playing the brand of football that it is currently.That became obvious on Saturday when it was humiliated by one of the best sides in the competition in Somerville.

The Eagles led by as much as almost 70-odd points midway through the last quarter before Rye booted the final four goals of the game to add some respectability to the final score line, 19.17 (131) to 13.6 (84).

Truth of the matter is that Rye is a one-way running side.

Unless you have enormous talent across all 22 players and a defence that is rock solid, you can’t play this brand of footy and expect to win a premiership.

It was the second time that RPP FM has called a Rye game this season and the brand of football it dished up was identical. The Demons were outworked and outplayed by Hast-ings and the same thing happened on Saturday against the Eagles.

Ryan Mullett collected 38 posses-sions for the Demons but less than 20 per cent of them caused the opposition any problems.

The coach Josh Moore, who spent the majority of his time on the ball, collected just 14 possessions for the

match. Six of those came in the open-ing quarter.

The issue Rye has is it doesn’t have enough players who stick their head over the footy and win the contested ball. They have a heap of outside run.

When the opposition gets the ball in the back half and they run and spread, Rye let them break and go where they want.

Somerville had 22 more inside 50s entries on Saturday. It was 17 to nine for the first three quarters and 14 to Rye’s 16 in the last. By then the game was done and dusted.

Rye has the sixth ranked defence in the competition. Devon Meadows is ahead of it, as well as the other sides in the top five.

The Eagles had worked out at half time on Saturday that the opposition was a one trick (and way) pony.

The home side booted seven goals to three in the third term and booted five of the first six goals of the last quarter.

That onslaught came as a result of running hard both ways, switching play, spreading the lazy Rye mid-fielders and moving the ball quickly into the sixth worst defence in the competition.

When the ball went inside, Somer-ville scored at more than 50 per cent.

David Hirst booted five goals, including three in the last quarter, Tom

Shaw played arguably his best game for the club booting three goals as a high half forward and Adrian Ridout booted three playing at full forward. Together Somerville had 10 goal kickers.

Rohan Hogenbirk was clearly the best player on the ground with 34 possessions and two goals. His work around the stoppages was first rate. Adrian Speedy, Josh Collie, Justin Allsop and Tim McGennis were also damaging through the middle of the ground.

Ben Sedgewick worked tirelessly in his 150th game and Jacob Wilson again was unassuming in dominating in the back half.

Brady Egan was clearly Rye’s best player. He worked tirelessly leading up the ground and taking more than a dozen marks, while Sam Smith did well to stop the domination that Mc-Gennis has shown this season.

The way I see Rye, nothing much has changed from last season. A handful of players who ran one way have left the club and they have been replaced by another handful of one way players.

Defensively they have major issues. Ben Holmes and Rhett Sutton come back in the coming weeks but that doesn’t resolve the defence issue.

Perhaps when you are kicking big totals against average opposition,

it can band-aid the real issues. Josh Moore and his brains trust have six weeks to stop the leakage.

Sorrento is the sleeping giant. In fact, the giant has woken.

The Sharks dismantled Hastings when the heat was turned up on Saturday, however, despite the strong performance, still sits outside of the top five.

Sorrento, who welcomed Myles Pitt back into the side from overseas and former Melbourne player Luke Tapscott made his debut, booted eight goals to three in the last quarter to record an 18.7 (115) to 11.10 (76) victory.

Leigh Poholke booted six goals and Pitt kicked three while Leigh Treeby and Daniel Grant dominated.

Luke Clark was solid for the Blues with four goals and Matt Clifford and Shaun Foster worked hard.

The game was an arm wrestle for the first three quarters of the game before Sorrento upped the ante in the last 30 minutes.

Devon Meadows booted five goals to one behind in the third quarter against Dromana and it was enough to see them record a solid 14.16 (100) to 9.7 (61) victory.

Troy Aust booted two goals in the third and finished with three for the gam while the team’s best three play-ers in Pat Harmes, Heath Black and

Beau Miller were superb.Terry Wheeler and Matt Jones were

the best of the Tigers.Panthers’ coach Glenn Michie said

before the game that he believed although it was going to be extremely tough, that his side could make the finals.

“If you’re still not aiming for finals with six rounds to go, you pay as well just give up,” Michie said.

“Fortunately we have the large majority of our list available now and I think you’ll see a side that is more than competitive in the coming weeks,” he said.

Red Hill maintained its position in the top five with a solid 12.15 (87) to 6.5 (41) victory against Frankston Bombers.

The Bombers led the Hillmen at quarter time and half time before the home side booted eight goals to one in the second half.

Harry Larwill found himself as an unlikely forward and finished with four goals while Jake Mold booted four also and Jarred Eames a couple.

Paul Wintle and Luke Adams were outstanding for the Hillmen.

Jason Kingsbury, Matt Harris, Jason Currie and Brett Sutton were the best of the Bombers, who lost Duncan Proud through the week to Wodonga Raiders. Proud was named in the best for his new team on Saturday.

Demons are a long way off

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntIT’S not very often that any individual is bigger than the game of AFL foot-ball.

And rarely do we see it where the player is viewed so highly that he is placed before the club.

However, every now and again, it’s important to stop and recognise the contributions and impact that individ-uals have made on your football club.

On Saturday, the footy public stopped for arguably the best centre half back of the past 20-plus years in Luke Van Raay.

The Karingal Football Club star ran out onto the ground for his be-loved red and white for the 250th time against Pines on Saturday.

His club has not won a game in 2015, however, up until three quarter time on Saturday, Van Raay, along with 21 of his mates, appeared as though they were going to cause the upset of the season.

Pines, as expected, upset the party. The Pythons booted 10 goals to four in the last quarter to win 19.15 (129) to 13.11 (89).

It’s highly unlikely that Luke Van Raay will ever play in a senior pre-miership. He’s played in grand finals with the Bulls but never tasted the ul-timate success at senior level.

Luke has no intention of retiring any time soon but understands that after losing 17 of your best 22 players, re-building will remain tough.

He doubts that he will still be play-ing when the club is back near the top again.

However, for Luke Van Raay, whilst players love to win, it has never been

Van Raay sensational in 250th for Karingalthe key driver for him.

“Having a beer with Michael Burke (Karingal coach) on a Thursday night, hanging out with people around the club, that’s what football clubs are about,” Van Raay said.

“Sure, I’d love to have won a pre-miership and it’s my biggest disap-pointment. Perhaps I could have gone to another club to chase that, but my friends and family are what are impor-tant to me.

“Karingal Football Club is my fam-ily and I’ve never had any intentions of leaving it. My immediately fam-ily, extended family, friends and their families have been involved in this club all the way along.

“We are experiencing some tough times on the field now but I’m sure we’ll experience great times again in the not too distant future.

“It’s tough to go out there every week and know you are up against it but you find inspiration from others.

“Michael (Burke) is a constant in-spiration. A four-time best and fairest winner who has been unbelievably loyal too.

“Daniel Watts, the president, has done everything that anyone can do at a football club including playing and coaching premierships, best and fair-ests and he continues to give so much of himself.

“These guys are in a league of their own as far as I’m concerned and I’m just glad that I have spent so much time with and around them.

“All I want is the best for the Karin-gal Football Club and this will always be my priority, even when I stop play-ing,” Van Raay said.

Michael Burke booted five goals on Saturday for the Bulls while Travis

Puntaroni and Nathan McDonald in his first game was outstanding in the 13.11 (89) to 19.15 (129) loss.

Shaun White was outstanding for the Pythons with three goals, Aaron Ed-wards was solid with four and Adam Maling and Beau Hendry were at their best.

Mt Eliza bounced back from its hor-ror defeat last week against Frankston YCW to put Bonbeach to the sword on Saturday.

The Redlegs were unrelenting and should have been almost 10 goals in front at quarter time (2.9 to 0.2).

Justin Van Unen booted seven goals

to give him 67 for the season while Rob D’Orazio, Sam Gill and Jimmy Clayton were amongst the Redlegs’ best for the second week in a row.

Jackson Sole, son of the great Kenny, is making a real mark in senior foot-ball and he was his side’s best again, while Ben Hogan and Mark Tyrell also worked hard in the 3.11 (29) to 14.14 (98) loss.

Seaford received the news through the week that senior coach Ben Crowe was not interested in coach the club in 2016.

Crowe wouldn’t be drawn into the speculation that he will go back to his

home club Somerville and finish his playing days with the club that is look-ing ominous.

Instead, he wanted to focus on the rest of the 2015 season and try and win as many games as possible.

That didn’t start well, the Tigers go-ing down to Mornington on Saturday 19.5 (119) to 6.7 (43).

Jackson Calder booted six goals and Adam Symes four for the winners while Michael Gay and Danny Nolan dominated.

Michael Herbert and Kane Taylor were named Seaford’s best players.

By Toe PuntTHE MPNFL board collectively resigned late last week after 19 of 22 MPNFL Peninsula and Nepean clubs expressed a vote of no confidence.

AFL South East immediately took over as caretaker of the league, pro-viding the function of the board under MPNFL Rules until the finalisation of a review into the appropriate govern-ance and administrative model for the league for the future.

At this stage, the current administra-tion will continue to manage the day-to-day operations of the competition.

AFL South East General Manager Jeremy Bourke said it was “highly unlikely” that there would be any changes to the structure of the compe-tition in the 2016 season.

In a letter to the clubs following the board’s resignation, Bourke said with these challenging situations comes many items requiring immediate attention, some with ease and others with complications.

“The first is to ensure the MPNFL has constitutional integrity and it is for this reason a Special General Meeting (SGM) will be required for the AFL South East Commission to assume governance capacity in a caretaker role.

“A notice regarding this SGM containing the required motion will

be coordinated through MPNFL CEO Jeff Jones and distributed as soon as practicable. It is anticipated that this SGM will be held on Wednesday 8 July.

Following on from the SGM, AFL South East will apply the following immediate actions: Governance “The Commission will immediately provide the function of the board under MPNFL Rules in a caretaker ca-pacity until the finalisation of a review into the appropriate governance and administrative model going forward. Administration “The current administration will remain in place (as employees of the MPNFL) and continue to operate out of the Somerville offices until the finalisation of a review into the appro-priate administrative structure going forward. All administration staff will report to the region general manager, who will oversee key decisions and staff performance. Financial Audit “AFL South East’s financial audit committee, headed by Ted Turner (Principal at Ashton Ryan Malcolm Financial and former president of Edithvale-Aspendale Football Club) will undertake a full assessment of the MPNFL’s financial position immedi-ately. This audit will include a situ-

ational analysis report provided to all member clubs at the earliest possible opportunity.Governance and Administrative Review“A panel including the following members will immediately review the governance and administrative struc-ture of the MPNFL. The panel will consult extensively with all stakehold-ers and will produce recommendations for adoption by the Commission and member clubs. The panel will consist of: Roger Hampson – AFL South East Commission chairman Jeremy Bourke – AFL South East Region general manager Jim Cail – AFL Victoria Country football manager Shayne Ward – AFL Victoria govern-ment relations manager Alexandra Gronow – AFL legal counsel Rules and By-Law Review “Russell Jacgung (AFL South East commissioner and former MPNFL board member) will oversee the work that has currently been undertaken in this area and manage the process going forward. Once again, club con-sultation and assessments of league rules and by-laws from other regions will form part of this review. “Again, these situations are not

without complications however it is the intention of AFL South East to provide caretaker support through this transition period with as minimal dis-ruption to the operations of the league as possible.”

Bourke acknowledged the work of the outgoing board.

“Whilst this correspondence is directed to MPNFL club presidents, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing MPNFL board members for the effort, time and commitment they have made to the management and development of the league. Whilst there is topical focus on negative aspects, there are many positive developments the board has overseen and that service must be noted,” Bourke said.

The board also wrote a letter to clubs announcing their collective resignation.

“It is with great disappointment and reluctance that all members of the MPNFL board wish to advise of their resignation, effective immediately. We take this action in response to the vote of ‘no confidence’ that was passed by a large majority of both Nepean and Peninsula league clubs at recent private meetings,” the letter stated.

“Whilst it is extremely disappoint-ing that this situation could not be resolved by consultation and through

an independent review, we accept the decision that most of you have voted for.

“Some of the allegations, innuendos and reports that have circulated in recent weeks, particularly from some who should know better, have been extremely disappointing. The many emails, late night telephone calls and comments from certain areas of local media, has certainly taken a toll on each of us personally, and has also impacted on our families and friends.

“Each member of the board volun-teered their time because of a genuine passion for sport at a local level, not for self-promotion or personal gain. Each of us walks away from our posi-tions on the board with the view that it has been a most rewarding experience. Working with the clubs, meeting an incredible number of quality club peo-ple who share a passion for local sport and forming some lasting friendships in the process have been a special part of the role.

“We sincerely thank the clubs that have supported us over the journey. Your loyalty and willingness to work through situations over the years has been most appreciated.

“We wish everyone good luck for the remainder of the 2015 season and for the future under a new structure,” the letter stated.

HASTINGS FNCBy Phil Stone, club presidentTHIS week saw the Hastings FNC travel down to Sorrento for a massive test through all grades, but unfortu-nately all sides were unable to get the job done. We now have to prepare ourselves for a massive challenge in a fortnight’s time, as a club we need to stay focused on the challenges that lie ahead. We are a resilient club and cannot wait for our next contest in a fortnight’s time against Pearcedale FNC at home, so we are expecting a good turn up from all our supporters.

SENIORSWe came up against the current pre-miers. The day started well and I felt that the first half of footy was a great game, the pressure was high and both teams had their chances and there was not much in it at half time. In the third quarter we had more than enough of the ball but our skills really cost us and weren’t able to get the score on the board that we warranted.

The last quarter was one that we would rather forget they really inti-mated us mentally and threw us off our game and they ran away with it. It was really disappointing to end like that and we should all look back and know we won’t get anywhere if we lay down like that.

RESERVESWe took the long drive down to Sor-rento in a must win game and the boys got off to a great start matching it with Sorrento in every department to be even at quarter time. Into the second quarter it became a slog with both teams applying pressure and turning into a real arm wrestle and not being able to break out. Mickey Cave was in everything and using his strength around packs to feed the runners, Terry Green was doing a great job on their coach at centre half back and we went into the half-time break nine points down. Into the third quarter and the boys lost concentration on the task at hand and let Sorrento get some easy goals and run away with the game,

scoring at will. Into the last quarter the boys were urged to lift and put into a huge effort to get back into the game and they tried everything and got back on top to win the quarter. The boys played well for three quarters but unfortunately Sorrento made the most of the third quarter lapse and kicked away. Better players on the day were Mickey Cave, Terry Green, Chrissy Lehmann, Dylan Paarlberg and Jason Bradshaw.

UNDER 19s by Aaron WilsonHastings 19s were unable to stop a surging Sorrento, as the home side steamed to 80+ points victory. A four-goal lead at quarter time put Hastings on the back foot and Sorrento didn’t let up from there. A frustrating game as Hastings showed glimpses of what they can do when they play as a team. Jamie Hurst returned to form with a big game in the midfield whilst Ash Ainslie had a solid day in defence. Another tough day at the office for the boys. They will look to regroup and get back to their best footy after

the bye when they line up against Pearcedale.

NETBALL REPORTDisappointing day for us, with hopes that we could get our first wins on the board, but it wasn’t to be. Injuries and illness have hit us mid-season and the break will help us to hopefully rest up and finish out the season strongly.C grade welcomed new player Mo-nique Boer back to our club and after a slow start really warmed up and took intercepts and started to provide drive down the court in offence. With a much stronger second half that’s what we have to take into our next challenge against Pearcedale.B grade were depleted of a couple of regulars but strengthened by a new player to our club in Gemma Sait, welcome Gemma and third gamer Erin Newman. The result didn’t go our way but we ran the match out and kept challenging until the very end. The positives for B grade were the open-ness and game style that we’ve been working was very evident in many

passages of play.Let’s train hard and aim for a win to go into our Ladies Day next round against Pearcedale.

TOYOTA has upgraded its Prius v hybrid seven-seater with a fresh look, improved comfort and conveni-ence, sharper ride and handling, plus expanded safety features.

The two-model line-up builds on Toyota’s cutting-edge safety technol-ogy with the introduction of lane departure alert and an improved pre-crash safety system.

Revisions to the Prius v suspen-sion, with adjustments to the damping force, have resulted in improved ride comfort and increased handling stability.

Exterior updates to the Prius v ex-pand its visual appeal with a stronger look that takes up Toyota’s latest design cues.

Toyota’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the first major changes since launch in 2012 keeps Prius v at the cutting edge of its competitive set.

“Prius v offers more cargo space than most small SUVs yet it can travel 100km on less than five litres of fuel,” Mr Cramb said.

“The latest updates are focused on safety, multi-media technology and additional ride comfort while ensuring the comprehensive standard features of Prius v meet the needs of a wide range of buyers,” he said.

The revised Prius v front-end features a new upper grille, a more prominent Toyota badge that extends the forward line of the bonnet, and vertical LED running lamps.

Slim profile headlamps give Prius v a distinctive sharp-eyed appearance while the gloss-black lower grille adopts Toyota’s signature trapezoidal shape.

At the rear, there’s a new combina-tion lamp design and, following the styling themes adopted at the front, a new licence-plate trim and bumper with an integrated diffuser.

Changes in the cabin include new interior trim, upgraded audio systems with touch-screen displays, a revised instrument binnacle and a new 4.2-inch colour TFT information screen controlled using switches on the steering wheel.

Both Prius v grades (Prius v and Prius v i-Tech) include seven air-bags, stability and traction control, climate-control air conditioning, reversing camera, head-up display, 16-inch alloy wheels, three-piece sliding second-row seat, 50/50 split and fold-flat third-row seat, hill-start assist control, daytime running lamps, electric vehicle mode and touch-tracer steering-wheel controls.

Prius V: improved safety, style and driving pleasure
