Youth told ‘work for dole’Youth told ‘work for dole’UNEMPLOYED young people on the Mornington Peninsula will be among the fi rst in Australia to taste the federal government’s tough budget measures, with the controversial “work for the dole” scheme to be rolled out across the region within weeks.

The combined Frankston and pen-insula region has been selected as one of 18 “high-unemployment areas” around Australia to spearhead a trial of the Coalition government’s revitalised

work for the dole program.Under the program, peninsula “job

seekers” aged between 18 and 30 who have been unemployed for twelve months or more will be required to perform 15 hours a week of unpaid work over a six-month period if they are to continue to receive welfare pay-ments.

Unlike many of the Abbott govern-ment’s controversial budget proposals which must pass both houses of par-liament before being implemented, the work for the dole scheme requires no such legislative approval and will

come into force from 1 July within the 18 targeted regions. The rest of the country will follow 12 months later, when weekly requirements will increase to 25 hours unpaid work a week.

The introduction of the scheme comes at a time of rising unemployment, par-ticularly among young people.

The Frankston and peninsula region has been targeted as one of four re-gions in Victoria with “unacceptably high levels of youth unemployment”.

Over the past 12 months, unem-ployment in the peninsula region has

jumped from 6.3 per cent to 7.1 per cent, well above the national average of 5.9 per cent, while youth unem-ployment stands at an alarming 21.3 per cent.

At the same time, job vacancy rates have been steadily decreasing, mean-ing there are less jobs and more people looking for work.

Welfare and community service groups have criticised the merit of the previously abandoned scheme, claim-ing it does nothing to improve job prospects for young people and un-fairly punishes them for being unable

to fi nd employment in an increasingly tough job market.

“Where are the jobs these poor young people are being punished for not being able to fi nd?” Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott asked.

“There aren’t enough jobs on the peninsula for people with good skills, let alone young people who aren’t able to gain the experience necessary to get their foot in the door, and things are getting worse with more and more jobs being axed.

A 13.2 per cent drop in ‘Crimes against the person’ on the Mornington Penin-sula in the year to March was the re-sult of police “successfully partnering“ with the community, police inspector Karen Nyholm said last week.

She cited a 10.1 per cent drop in as-saults, and a similar drop in assaults excluding family violence, as “high-lighting the holistic approach to in-creasing personal safety”.

But, sadly, crimes against property rose from 5586 to 6292 – up 12.6 per cent; drug offences rose from 377 to 402 - 6.6 per cent and ‘other’ crime rose from 1467 to 1650 – up 12.5 per

cent. Total crime was up 8843 to 9570 - 8.2 per cent.

But inspector Nyholm said crimes which “touch us personally” have the greatest impact on a community. “The tragic events that unfolded at Tyabb in February with the tragic death of Luke Batty highlighted the complex and on-going challenges that many families face on a daily basis.

“Mental health and family violence are community issues that continue to harm lives and result in tragic conse-quences. Police will continue to focus on empowering victims and working with their support partners to improve the safety of those affected.”

The Mornington Peninsula has three 24 hour police stations at Mornington,

Hastings and Rosebud and other sta-tions at Dromana, Rye and Sorrento.

Supporting these are crime inves-tigations units, highway patrol, fam-ily violence unit, crime scene services, crime prevention, youth resources, and a crime tasking unit. Insp. Nyholm said more police would come as a result of the ‘1700’ police rollout across the state.

“Police continue to enforce public order around licensed venues and the Mornington Liquor Accord has pro-vided a welcome platform for police and venue owners to address alcohol-fuelled violence.

“The Mornington Peninsula offers a very safe environment to live, work and holiday – but the reality is opportunis-tic thieves exist in our midst. Operation

Ranger is an investigative taskforce fo-cusing on theft from cars and theft of cars and is achieving good results. Po-lice have identifi ed a high percentage of these crimes occurring when cars and houses are left unlocked.”

She said community members can take simple steps to help avoid becom-ing victims of these crimes.

“Road safety on the peninsula is a focus of all police units and the results have shown a further reduction in seri-ous injury collisions by 16.8 per cent. Drivers are slowing down and, as a re-sult, saving lives. Police will continue with enforcement operations including booze buses, back road operations for drink drivers and vigilance in detecting illegal phone users.”

Blanket appeal for winter monthsHaving received and distributed 211 items from its 2013 appeal, ‘Food For All’, which is now conducting its 18th annual blanket appeal, is anxious to equal or better last year’s total.

Blankets, rugs and quilts which are clean and in good condition are desperately needed to help peninsula families.

“We will ensure these are given to deserving families who urgently need help with winter warmth,” Food For All president Ken Northwood said.

Food For All is a non-profi t com-munity organisation devoted to pro-viding food to families and individu-als who have fi nancial diffi culties.

With bins in churches and super-markets, the group collects non-perishable food which is made into family-sized parcels each week for distribution to struggling families on the southern peninsula.

Food For All’s blanket appeal runs in conjunction with its food collec-tion, because the group believes if people are warm the food is of greater benefi t.

Collection points for wrapped and clearly marked blankets are at: Rosebud Cinemas, Rosebud Library and churches.

Donations to buy food can be sent to Food For All, PO Box 440, Rose-bud, 3939.

Call Diane Falconer on 5988 4353 for further information.

Senior Peninsula police deny there are plans to move ‘uni-formed response staff’ from Rosebud to the new Somerville station which is due to open in March next year.

A Victoria Police spokesper-son told The News there are no plans to relocate front-line offi c-ers from Rosebud to Somerville.

Rosebud residents are keen to see police to stay ‘on the beat’ at Rosebud.

It has long been known that traffi c operations and criminal investigations police will be based at Somerville.

However, a Rosebud woman, who asked not to be named, said locals feared Rosebud uniformed police would be sent there, re-

ducing numbers on the beat.She told The News that lo-

cal police “refuse to say what’s happening” and that she feared uniform police would be lost to Rosebud – not just the TMU and CI.

The rumour has also come from other sources.

“It would be wrong to move them and someone needs to do some further research,” she said.

“We’ve got hoons and older people down here and the lo-cal copper is always fi rst on the scene if there is any trouble.

“It’s a minimum half hour from Somerville to Rosebud and, with the population ex-ploding, we are going to need more police here.”

But MPs said they are una-ware of plans to move any uni-formed police from Rosebud to Somerville.

Spokespeople for federal member for Flinders, Greg Hunt, and state member for Ne-pean, Martin Dixon, said they were unaware of such plans.

Hastings MP Neil Burgess said traffi c management and criminal investigation offi cers were slated to move but not po-lice “from the front line”.

The $16.3 million station - at the corner of Eramosa Rd West and Coolart Rd - will house up to 150 staff and allow for expan-sion of police numbers in the fu-ture.

Police ‘stay’ in RosebudPolice ‘stay’ in Rosebud

Offi cers still stationed: Victoria Police has denied rumours uniformed offi cers at Rosebud police station will be relocated when the new police station at Somerville is opened next year.

VICTORIA Police has refuted claims that the number of frontline police of-fi cers on duty at Mornington Peninsula police stations has been slashed by 20 per cent since 2010.

Figures released last week by the state Opposition show the Mornington Peninsula was one of more than 50 po-lice service areas across Victoria to suf-fer signifi cant staffi ng cuts.

Police numbers at thirty of those ar-eas were down 10 per cent, while the peninsula was among 20 police service areas suffering cuts of more than 20 per cent, opposition police and emergency services spokesman Wade Noonan said.

Mr Noonan said as many as 30 uni-formed offi cers had been lost from some police service areas, with stations having trouble fi lling shifts and keep-ing up uniform patrols.

He said in many cases, there was a direct correlation between the loss of local police and an increase in crime rates.

“Most Victorians would be shocked to learn that while crime increases across the state, Denis Napthine has re-duced the number of police on the beat in their local area,” Mr Noonan said.

“When Denis Napthine cuts $100 million from Victoria Police and cuts the number of offi cers on the beat, he cuts support to your community.”

“Despite Denis Napthine and the Liberals promising to make Victoria safer, crime rates have increased each and every year under this government.”

However police spokesman Sergeant Kris Hamilton said that there were now signifi cantly more police serving the Mornington Peninsula community than ever before.

“Looking at numbers within police stations alone presents a skewed pic-ture of how many police are working in an area, because many of our police are not physically attached to the stations,” Sergeant Hamilton said.

“They are working in specialist squads, tackling family violence, or-ganised crime and offending on our roads.

“These police are not always based at local police stations, but are still work-ing in local communities, helping to keep Victorians safe.”

Police Minister Kim Wells said there were now more than 1500 extra front-line police in Victoria than in 2010, with a further 200 to be recruited by November this year.

“There are also more than 750 Pro-tective Services Offi cers protecting commuters at rail stations, which is 750 more than there was under Labor. An additional 190 are still to come,” Mr Wells said.

“Contrary to outrageous and mislead-ing scaremongering by the Opposition, the formation of these critical frontline taskforces does not mean frontline po-lice resources have been diminished.”

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay last week confi rmed more po-lice would be allocated to specialised units in the future, meaning there may be less police “physically attached” to specifi c police stations.

Mornington Peninsula police com-

mander Inspector Karen Nyholm said the region had three 24 hour police stations at Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud, and is further strengthened by stations at Dromana, Rye and Sor-rento. A fourth 24 hour station will open next year at Somerville.

In addition, a large number of spe-cialised units not attached to specifi c stations operate across the peninsula region.

These include crime investigations units, highway patrol, family violence unit, crime scene services, crime pre-vention, youth resources, and a crime tasking unit, Inspector Nyholm said.

“We will be receiving more police as a result of the “1700” police rollout [promised by the Coaltion govern-ment] across the state,” she said.

The opening of the new 24-hour police station in Somerville next year will see the reallocation of a number

of specialised police offi cers, such as crime investigation unit detectives, away from smaller stations to the larger centralised stations.

Mr Wells said the $16.3 million Somerville police station would boost emergency response capabilities, help reduce crime and improve community safety across the Mornington Penin-sula.

The station is designed to accommo-date 150 staff and allows for expansion of police numbers in the future. An ad-ditional 109 police offi cers have been allocated to Southern Region Division 4, which services the peninsula.

The station will include a uniform branch, highway patrol and a crime scene unit. It will also feature public consultation and interview rooms, a mess room, change rooms, a gym-nasium, short-term custodial hold-ing rooms, administration areas and conference room facilities that can be adapted for emergency management.

Construction on the facility is ex-pected to be completed in March 2015.

“The police station will provide a 24-hour police response that will al-low quicker responses to incidents and meet the needs of a growing population across the region,” Mr Wells said.

“The new facility is part of the Victo-rian Coalition Government’s commit-ment to improve police facilities across the state, as we deliver an additional 1700 police to Victorian streets by No-vember 2014.”

“This represents the largest single law enforcement recruitment exercise in Victoria’s history.”

Responding to “an explosive head-

line” in The Age newspaper last week stating “Chief to cut police on the beat”, Mr Lay said Victoria Police “needs to evolve if it is to keep pace with the changing world”.

Outlining details of a “blue paper” on the future of Victoria Police, Mr Lay said police resources would be de-ployed at a divisional level to appropri-ate crime fi ghting tasks.

“We need to build greater fl exibility into the way we deploy our resources,” Mr Lay said.

“That is why we are now allocating police numbers at larger geographic di-visional level so that police command-ers have the freedom to move police offi cers from town to town as and when needed.

“In addition, we also need more dedicated, specialist taskforces that can help police tackle the greatest drivers of harm.

“Challenges such as organised crime, family violence and the destructive prevalence of Ice in the community are not going to be solved through tradi-tional policing alone.”

Mr Lay said Victoria Police needed to modernise in order to keep up with ever changing criminal trends and the needs of the community.

“The model that we’ve had for the last 161 years needs to be re-exam-ined,” Mr Lay said.

“It’s a history of allocating police ac-cording to population, not crime rates or emerging crime trends.

“It’s also a geographic spread of police station locations based on nine-teenth century patterns – a day’s horse ride between them.”

YOUNG people facing the often diffi cult transition from school to the workforce – especially those “at risk of disengagement” – have had the rug pulled from under them by federal budget cuts.

Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network (FMPLLEN) – which each year helps 2000 people aged up to 19 fi nd work has learned that its federal funding will end in December. Through partnerships with other welfare group “partners” it has functioned successfully for the past 13 years tackling youth unemployment by improving the rate of youth transition from school to jobs.

The partners work with schools, education and training bodies, community organisations, families, industry and government to develop opportunities for often disadvantaged and disengaged young people – but now that is at risk. Executive offi cer Carol Smith said their grassroots support was changing young lives by helping them re-engage with the community. Many recipients “could go either way”.

“The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula youth unemployment rate is above 12 per cent and, with the associated changes to youth engagement, it is imperative that we continue to promote and implement strategies to keep our local youth in education or training.”

She pointed to FMPLLEN’S recent help for 25 young Frankston mothers – some with partners - who had left school early to care for new babies and then found themselves in a void: uncompleted education and few job prospects in a tough market. Through partnerships with Anglicare and Chisholm Institute, FMLLEN staff helped the young mums enter and complete VCAL courses and have their babies looked after at the same time. “They came away from their

courses re-engaged with education and linked in with the community. We showed them where to fi nd local services and facilities which are vital for young mothers.

“The program was a great success but, if LLEN had not put up its hand, it would not have gone ahead.”

Funding for this particular service ends on 30 June. Hopefully, Ms Smith said, other viable local groups – such as Head Space - will be able to replicate their success.

Ms Smith said FMLLEN had partnered with Frankston Council last year to form the Job Splash program, fi nding 50 jobs for 50 young people in 30 days. “We had a short, sharp campaign and 50 local businesses, such as cafes and some bigger businesses, came to the party. The 50 jobs were fi lled and about 60 per cent of the young people are still working there.”

Ms Smith said LLEN was a ‘local, independent broker’ which researched its target market and devised pilot programs to get young people interested and involved in higher education or employment. “Those businesses weren’t going to offer those jobs on their own but, with our help, they did.”

“We lobby hard for vulnerable young people because we are passionate about helping them. And once these programs go they won’t be coming back.”

Their main hope is for the state government to provide $12 million in funding across the state. Based on last year’s fi gures, she said the cost to the taxpayer for each young person benefi tting was less than $200.

Youth Connections, a local program run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence, has also had its funding cut. It, too, will end on 31 December.

Budget slashes ‘learn Budget slashes ‘learn and earn’ servicesand earn’ services



FRANKSTON hospital is among Australia’s worst-performing when it comes to federal targets to treat emergency patients within four hours.

A report released last week by the National Health Performance Authority showed it was in the lowest 10 per cent of major metropolitan hospitals in the country on the measure last year.

But Frankston Hospital’s director of Emergency Medicine, associate professor Pam Rosengarten, slammed the report’s fi gures as outdated. “They are an historical snapshot of 2012-2013 when, for a number of reasons, times were below target.

“A great deal of work has been done across all areas of Frankston Hospital and the four-hour time-to-treatment has improved to 64 per cent and is continuing to improve.’’

The performance authority report said Frankston’s emergency department could only manage to admit and discharge 50 per cent of patients within the target four hours. It said that, on a state-wide hospital basis, about 67 per cent of emergency patients were treated in that time last year.

The report – measured as a percentage - highlights the extent to which patients are able to depart public hospital emergency departments within four hours of arrival. Those presenting are subsequently admitted to the hospital, referred to another hospital or discharged.

Hospital rejects ‘among worst’ tag

Australia’s major and large public hospitals, representing 76 per cent of the seven million patient presentations across the country in 2013.

Prof Rosengartn said Rosebud Hospital, also part Peninsula Health, continues to meet and exceed all the benchmarks.

She said Frankston Hospital’s ambulance bay was “the busiest in Victoria” and received more emergency patients by ambulance than

any other hospital in the state.“Despite the high demand, the

time taken to transfer patients from the ambulance into hospital care is currently better than the state benchmark of 40 minutes,” she said.

“The opening of a new $40 million emergency department early next year will give us the resources to meet growing demand and improve our time-to-treatment performance.”

To back up her comments, Professor

Rosengarten said that during the period January to March this year Frankston Hospital: Accepted 5570 ambulance arrivals at emergency – up from 4881 last year. Saw 15,645 patients at emergency – up from 14,243 last year. Admitted 6620 emergency patients – up from 6038 last year.Was on bypass two per cent of the time – below the state benchmark of 3 per cent. Treated 100 per cent of the 93 Category 1 emergency patients immediately on arrival at emergency. Treated 87 per cent of Category 2 patients within 10 minutes of arrival at emergency – up from 82 per cent a year earlier, and beating the state-wide target of 80 per cent. Treated 91 per cent of Category 3 patients within 30 minutes of arrival at emergency – up from 82 per cent a year earlier, and above the benchmark target of 75 per cent. Treated 94 per cent of semi-urgent Category 4 patients within an hour of arrival at emergency – up from 81 per cent a year earlier, and above the state average of 73 per cent. Treated 99 per cent of non-urgent Category 5 patients within two hours of arrival at emergency – up from 91 per cent in the same period a year ago, and above the state average of 89 per cent. Discharged 64 per cent of non-admitted emergency department patients within four hours in the three months to the end of March – up from 61 per cent in the same period a year earlier.

Frankston Hospital admitted 59,694 emergency patients last year.

A 33-YEAR-OLD woman was arrested at Patter-son Lakes on Monday 26 May after a half-hour police pursuit across the Mornington Peninsula.

Rosebud highway patrol Sergeant Peter Martin told The News a member of the public called police when he saw a car travelling erratically in Safety Beach about 9pm on Tuesday evening.

The driver refused to stop when police tried to intercept the car, forcing offi cers to pursue the vehicle for almost 40km.

Sergeant Martin said no-one was injured dur-ing the chase. “We’re grateful to the man who called to report the driver,” he said.

“The man was horrifi ed when he saw how er-ratically she was driving and he’s done the right thing.” The female driver, who Sgt Martin said was “of no fi xed address”, eventually stopped her car in Thompsons Rd, Patterson Lakes where she was immediately arrested.

Road spikes were not used to stop the vehicle, according to Sergeant Martin. He said the woman was taken to Frankston police station.

“She was released on summons and has been charged with conduct endangering life, traffi c of-fences and reckless driving.”

Egyptology decryptedEgyptology decryptedDR Janet Davey will deliver an illus-trated lecture on forensic Egyptology at the next Australian Decorative Fine Arts Society meeting at 5.30pm on Friday 13 June.

Ms Davey is passionately interested in the building and role of the pyra-mids in Egypt and our continuing fas-cination today.

The venue is the Peninsula Com-munity Theatre in Wilson Rd, Morn-ington.

Members are welcome to bring guests but should call 9787 2092 to ensure a place.

Venue: Hastings Hub. Briefi ngs as the entrée, followed by a meal, then the council meeting. A good crowd, that dwindled noticeably after dinner time. Apologies: councillors Graham Pittock and Bev Colomb. Cr Martin had resigned the previous Tuesday so only eight councillors present.

IT WAS a meeting of two distinct parts, but with an air of tension over Part One, possibly emanating from councillors, who knew Part Two could well be lively.

And so it was. Allow Council Watch to set the scene.

The prologue: shire meetings are recorded via wi-fi microphones. These have been troublesome for months. They failed completely at Hastings. New governance offi cer Tony Beynon found a portable mike and galloped with it from speaker to speaker so the gallery could hear the proceedings … up to a point.

The action: Cr Hugh Fraser had lodged a Notice of Motion related to the councillor walkout at the previous week’s Special Purposes Committee meeting. Cr Fraser, Cr Tim Rodgers and Cr Bev Colomb had left that meeting, which then had no quorum – unprecedented in recent shire history – and had to be abandoned.

The “walkout” item could therefore

not be dealt with. And here was Cr Fraser’s follow-up, ticking like a bomb, in a public forum, seeking that the secret business be made public.

First, Cr Fraser’s notice of motion argued that the confi dential item was not confi dential under the Local Government Act.

Second, it argued that, not being confi dential, it should be heard at an open council meeting. He named 10 June as the date.

Third, he argued that the item should not have been on the agenda of a meeting outside Rosebud since councillors had resolved that all meetings dealing with the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre be held in Rosebud.

Aha! SPA! So SPA had been the confi dential

item that sparked the walkout. The cat was out of the bag.

A very large and formidable cat-out-of-bag is SPA, a veritable Bengal tiger of a cat, snarling, eyes fl ashing, claws menacing. No wonder the three councillors had walked out. The hugely contested, massively expensive, largely unfunded proposed Rosebud foreshore pool complex has cleaved the council with the force of a racing axe.

Council Watch had sought in vain for details of that confi dential item, to no avail. But one can speculate, as follows...

SPA is about to be subject of a design competition. At present a few things are known about what the the project will include, but much detail is vague. That was made clear last December in a presentation to councillors, when its cost was quoted at $28 million and the public was told much of the detail was

still up in the air. The cost, incidentally, has now climbed mysteriously to $34 million.

Of course the prospective design contest folk need to know what the SPA will include. There will be a pool – 25 metres, 10 lanes. Will there be a hydrotherapy pool or just a warm water pool?

We know there will be a restaurant – Cr David Gibb, the project’s chief apostle, told us that last year, out of the blue. It will be upstairs, to take in the bay view. We know there could be a gym. But is it a certainty?

Pools these days are far more than pools. Look at Frankston’s nearly completed complex, or the one at Waurn Ponds, near Geelong, or the one at Casey. These days children’s aquatic play areas are essential. And water slides ... there must be slides. And that means a separate pool, that sliders slide into. A diving pool, like Ringwood?

This writer speculated some time ago that the SPA would include at least one water slide. And is prepared to speculate again that at least one water slide will be included in the design brief. Extra cost? Probably $5-6 million, maybe more. This will push the total cost up to around $40 million, and climbing. And will require a bigger footprint for the project.

No wonder tension was high at the Hastings Hub meeting last Monday night. Cr Gibb and his supporters had failed to get this item debated at the closed meeting. And here was Cr Fraser asking that the proposal be decided in full public glare, where the gallery could listen to

councillors’ arguments and see how they voted.

Responding to Cr Fraser’s questions, CEO Michael Kennedy confi rmed he had stated in an email that not all of a confi dential item might be confi dential. But a mess ensued if part of an item could be heard in public, then the public had to leave for a confi dential bit, then be called back in … asked to leave … called back in … more practical and logical to designate the entire matter confi dential. “It has ever been thus,” he declared.

Similarly, infrastructure boss Alex Atkins had indicated in answer to Cr Gibb that on complex matters the shire had over the years judged it best to discuss some issues in camera then decide what, if anything, to make public – effectively the “that’s the way we’ve always done it” argument.

But Mr Atkins gave the gallery a big hint when he used the phrase “design brief” in relation to the confi dential item.

Explaining why the SPA item had been included in the agenda of a meeting held away from Rosebud despite the councillors’ resolution, acting chief fi nancial offi cer Alison Leighton said that because the item was confi dential it was not felt necessary to wait for a Rosebud meeting.

The denouement: Then came the fi reworks. Cr Fraser turned his attention to mayor Antonella Celi with a semi-technical question. She was nonplussed. “I beg your pardon?” she said. He repeated the

question. She glowered. “Cr Fraser,” she said, “I do

not appreciate questions that are interrogative in nature.” And asked him to rephrase it. “I thought questions were interrogative,” someone whispered.

From there to the end was but a few minutes of raised voices, shouting, shouting down, warnings about penalties in bylaws and then suspension of the matter.

“Mr Beynon, can you please take the microphone to Cr Gibb,” Cr Celi instructed the man with the mike.

Cr Gibb moved that the motion be put. It was. Then Cr Fraser’s matter was decided by Cr Celi’s casting vote.

Now to wait for the design brief to reveal precisely what exciting new features the SPA will include. And possibly how much they will add to the soaring bill.

Councillor Councillor ‘gondola’ ‘gondola’ missing?missing?I WAS very sad to hear of the retirement of Cr Frank Martin, effective immediately, due to recent poor health.

He is a respected councillor and former mayor and will be sadly missed.

The Shire Council have indi-cated that there will be a byelec-tion to fi ll this vacant position and I assume that the time pe-riod for this process is between 6 weeks and 3 months.

In the interim period, who is representing the residents of the Red Hill Ward and their inter-ests? This issue becomes cru-cial as Red Hill Ward has only one council representative.

I would expect that all signifi -cant planning or other decisions that impact this ward should be postponed until the residents have representation on council. Is this the case?

Will council use this oppor-tunity to push through anything – like the “gondola” project impacting residents of Red Hill Ward whilst we have no repre-sentation?

PENINSULA Health tai chi leaders were recognised at last week’s Minister for Health Volunteer Awards.

Health minister David Davis praised the group for their work in the community. They are among four other Peninsula Health volunteer groups and individuals to receive the award in the past fi ve years.

“We are proud of the tai chi volunteer leaders and all the impres-sive work they do. They help hundreds of people every year stay healthy, connect with others and build lasting friendships,” Penin-sula Health CEO Jan Child said.

The seven tai chi leaders have run classes six times a week over 15 years across the peninsula attracting 80 participants.

They promote physical wellness and give participants an op-portunity for social inclusion. Training by Arthritis Victoria has enhanced their role.

Many began as participants of the program and their experiences encouraged them to contribute. “The dedication of the tai chi lead-ers is remarkable,’’ Ms Child said. “Their commitment to their community is something that should be recognised and this award confi rms this.”

Dedication wins out: Tai chi group leaders Maryanne MacPhee and Doris Hilton (front) with Health minister David Davis (back) and members of the Peninsula Health community participation team.

MORE than 2000 participants are expected to enter this year’s 6.7km Arthurs Seat Challenge in November. The challenge to climb to the top of the Arthurs Seat summit is a fundraiser to support a reduction in road trauma for young people and to raise money for the Fit to Drive road safety program.

Since the introduction of the Graduated Licensing System, there has been a 23 per cent fall in deaths on our roads. Nevertheless, young people are still over-represented in road crashes and fatalities despite comprising just a small portion of licensed drivers.

Young drivers aged between 18-25 years are involved in nearly one third of all casualty crashes, with road accidents killing more young people than any other single cause.

Fit to Drive (F2D) is a locally developed program that now reaches over 30,000 Year 11 students each year across Victoria. F2D is a community program that concentrates on

personal safety and responsibility to make young drivers safer on the roads.

It actively encourages and empowers young people as road users to look after themselves and their friends by recognising and overcoming risky situations.

The Arthurs Seat Challenge campaign offi cially commenced with the event launch held on Wednesday 21 May at Arthurs Hotel. Sponsors including Bluescope Steel, Bendigo Bank and Eastlink, the member for Flinders Greg Hunt and principals and students from secondary colleges who take part in the Fit to Drive Program.

Student representatives shared the powerful impact that the F2D workshops have had on them as young road users, as well as the signifi cance of the Arthurs Seat Challenge as a fun and meaningful community event.

Registrations are open now via www.arthursseatchallenge.com.au for the Arthurs Seat Challenge held on Sunday 9 November.

Social media claims of kids being Social media claims of kids being “lured” branded as “nonsense”“lured” branded as “nonsense”POLICE have labelled rumours that a man has been trying to “lure” kids near Benton Junior College in Morn-ington as “a classic case of Chinese whispers”.

A Facebook post dated 28 May claimed: “The police were at school today warning teachers and parents that there has been a man approach-ing and trying to lure kids with him by approaching them playing in the street and from their front fences. He was last seen in Marriott Dve wearing a Mup-pets T-shirt and a hat, however they don’t yet know his age. Please share with other mums on the peninsula.”

The post has been shared numer-ous times on Facebook and attracted comments such as: “Mothers fathers, nannas, and poppys, aunts and uncles [should] be alert – this is serious protect your family against this monster” and “That’s why parents give their kids vid-eo games and stuff to do inside so they know where they are. About time the legal system gets hard on preods [sic]” and “Yuk. What an absolute creep.”

Police from the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) in Frankston were quick to dispel the circulating rumours when contacted by The News.

“We did attend the school to investi-gate a complaint,” Detective Sergeant Peter Drake said.

“What has happened is a couple of Benton Junior College students, aged 10 and 11, have been walking to school, and a male has said something to them. They have been spooked and run.”

“We spoke to the principal, the kids involved and the parents of the kids. There was no threat made, and defi nitely no attempt to grab the kids. We’ve made note of the incident, but

there are no grounds to pursue the is-sue further”.

He expressed concern that social media messages had blown the inci-dent out of proportion and created un-necessary fear in the community.

The principal of Benton Junior College, Marcus Batt, was keen to distance the school from the online rumours, but supported the actions of the children.

“The kids were terrifi c. They did exactly what they should have. They came straight to school and told an adult.”

He said the investigation was a mat-ter for the police, and he wouldn’t comment further on it.

In late 2012 teachers at the school gave out the registration number of a car “acting suspiciously” outside the school to parents of the school.

(‘Trial by social media’, The News, 11/12/2012).

That sparked wild online specula-tion on social media with the vehicle’s registration number circulated widely on Facebook and Twitter at the time.

Facebook users called the car driver “a sicko” who they hoped would be caught. A message posted on Twitter also listed the number plate, claiming the car’s driver “steals kids”.

However, police cleared the man, a grandfather of a pupil at the school, of any wrongdoing.

Acting Inspector Matt Mulcahy, also of Frankston police, placed a notice on the “Policing on the Mornington Peninsula” blog at the time to try to quell the rampant online speculation: “There is nothing to link this vehicle to any offence of abduction or child stealing either in the past or present. They had a legitimate reason to be in the area.”

Police at the time told The News the car owner was not advised that his number plate details had been circulat-ed on social media websites, including Facebook and Twitter.

Although there was nothing unto-ward in the latest incident, Detective Sergeant Peter Drake was keen to pro-vide a general warning to all kids to take care when walking to school.

“We always want to make it clear that all kids should exercise care. They should walk to school together in pairs and practice ‘stranger danger’ caution”.

No worries: Nic Hope Denton and Maddy Kelly starred in the stage adaption of the book Go Away Mr Worrythoughts! last year at Frankston Arts Centre. Picture: Yanni

Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! is a delightful stage adaptation of the award-winning picture book by Frankston author Nicky Johnston.

Featuring three professional performers, puppetry, slapstick humour and songs, it’s described as an exciting adventure in developing emotional resilience for primary school children. Through the story of Bayden, and his struggle with anxiety, the production explores creative ways to zap ‘worrythoughts’.

Johnston wrote the book to help her fi rst child overcome anxiety. It was such a success that she wrote another, Happythoughts are Everywhere, as well as developing a resource kit for parents and teachers. She is now in demand as a guest speaker

at schools, parent groups and seminars, and the stage version of Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! offers many insights into children’s mental health and wellbeing.

One public performance only will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the author and the performers. It will suit those aged 5-11 and their families, although the character may frighten some littlies.

Presented by Frankston Arts Centre Arts Access, Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts! will be staged on Friday, June 6 at 6pm. It runs for 45 minutes with no interval.

Tickets are $8 with a family of four $28. Two years and under free on adult’s knee.

Continued from page 1“It’s depressing enough being out of

work and not having enough money to cover basic necessities, let alone the further indignation of being stig-matised like this, being told you’re a bludger and treated like a pariah or a criminal,” Ms Elliott said.

“What’s the difference between community service, which is a court sentence applied to criminals, and work for the dole? Are we now crimi-nalising unemployment?”

However, federal member for Flin-ders Greg Hunt welcomed the selec-tion of his electorate for the trial, say-ing the scheme would assist peninsula young people fi nd long-term work by helping build skills and good habits.

“The strongest indicator that some-one will be unemployed at 35 is if they are unemployed at 18, which is why we are committed to breaking the cycle of unemployment and en-couraging young people to learn new skills,” Mr Hunt said. “The work for the dole program provides partici-pants with basic skills that they will be able to take with them into future employment. The program will also have a fl ow-on effect for the broader community, as work for the dole par-ticipants will work on local projects such as upgrading infrastructure and completing community initiatives.”

Examples of possible work for the dole placements identifi ed by the fed-eral government include: Retail work in not-for-profi t stores such as those operated by major char-ity organisations; Providing additional assistance in

the administration areas of eligible organisations; Gardening or maintenance activi-ties in schools or aged care facilities (however, no caring, teaching or direct supervision roles will be allowed). Rehabilitation works of public parks and roadways Restoration of community facili-ties, such as churches or community halls.

“Job seekers placed in work for the dole activities will need to undertake all required training and pre-place-ment compliance activities, such as routine police checks and occupa-tional, health and safety training,” government literature outlining the scheme states.

However, Ms Elliott said the gov-ernment’s apparent belief that long-term unemployment was somehow tied to poor “work ethic” and could be corrected by forcing welfare re-cipients into unpaid work displayed a gross lack of understanding of the causes.

“It all sounds good in theory, but the reality is that the work for the dole pro-gram simply doesn’t work,” she said. “It’s failed in the past and was aban-doned, but now the government wants to dig it up again to show they’re do-ing something to solve the jobs crisis. But when you have one in fi ve young people out of work, you know it’s not because they’re slackers who need to be somehow disciplined, it’s because there aren’t any jobs available, or the right sorts of jobs available, especially at the unskilled end of the spectrum.

“So instead of doing something to

address the real problem, like creating more work opportunities, the govern-ment has apparently decided to take the punitive approach - punishing young people for something that’s out of their control.And the effects on young people’s self esteem can be quite devastating. Being unemployed can be soul destroying so telling them they’re failures and forcing them into a demeaning program is just going to further erode their confi dence.”

Ms Elliott said she had just returned from a forum in the middle east and had been stunned to hear about a number of measures contained in the federal budget. “Seeing the way vul-nerable people in countries with real problems are treated and then com-ing back to here to see how we - an extraordinarily rich and prosperous country - are treating our most vulner-able people was really quite shock-ing,” she said. “The measure of any society is how it treats it’s most vul-nerable members, and we are clearly failing on that front.”

Other major charity and social wel-fare agencies servicing Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula also ques-tioned the merits of the work for the dole scheme, as well as other meas-ures contained in the federal budget targeting the young and unemployed, such as pushing people under the age of 25 off Newstart and onto the less generous Youth Allowance pay-ment and forcing those aged under 30 to “earn or learn” or risk having their welfare payments cut off for six months.

The Salvation Army, which oper-

ates the Peninsula Youth and Family Services, said changes to the Newstart and Youth Allowance payments were of signifi cant concern. Salvation Army national secretary Major Kelvin Alley said the “stringent” requirements for job seekers would create “enormous challenges” for young people just to survive “let alone get meaningful em-ployment”.

While the Salvation Army was in-volved in the previous incarnation of the work for the dole program under the Howard government and is again likely to provide placements for par-ticipants in the current scheme, Major Alley said it was concerning the new measures targeted the “most margin-alised in the community” while doing little to address the underlying prob-lems affecting employment opportu-nities for young people,

Hanover Welfare Services CEO Tony Keenan agreed, saying the changes to youth unemployment ben-efi ts could “substantially impact” vul-nerable young people.

“We know from experience that the best thing we can do for young peo-ple is get them into education and employment – what this budget is lacking is concurrent investment into effective programs that will do this,” Mr Keenan said. “Young people who have grown up in care, in families with inter-generational unemploy-ment, desperately need appropriate programs to help them to get ahead. Without these, more and more vulner-able young people will be turning up at our services rather than our em-ployment centres.”

The Australian Council of Social Service said the government should focus on improving job opportunities for young people and strengthen train-ing and education available instead of penalising them “at the very time they need support and hope”.

“It makes no sense that the gov-ernment has decided to spend new and precious dollars on restarting the failed work for the dole yet cut pro-grams that clearly work, fl ying in the face of all evidence,” ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie said. “The problem in high unemployment areas around the country is the lack of jobs, not inertia on behalf of people who are looking for paid work.

‘‘Past experience shows that work-for-the-dole programs are not effec-tive in helping young people get jobs. Under the previous Coalition gov-ernment’s scheme, only about one in three participants were still employed three months after the program.

“We know that the main reason for high youth unemployment is that young people were worst affected by the global fi nancial crisis. The overall number of jobs for 16 to 19-year-olds was still below 2007 levels fi ve years later. Employers want ‘experience’ but how can young people gain ex-perience if they can’t get entry-level positions?”

She said the focus should be on opening up job opportunities in col-laboration with business leaders, in-vestors, local communities and social services “to give young people hope, and help them get a foot in the door”.

THE name “John Coleman” is synonymous with the AFL’s annual award for the competition’s leading goalkicker.

The Essendon full-forward exploded onto the scene in 1949 with 12 goals on debut, and booted his 100th major in that season’s winning grand fi nal.

A high-fl ying excitement machine, he contin-ued to thrill crowds until a career-ending knee injury in 1954, but returned to coach the Bomb-ers to two premierships in the sixties.

Coleman is a household name in the VFL/AFL – and on the Mornington Peninsula where he played with Hastings and won the MPFL best and fairest award in 1947.

But beyond the smattering of spectacular ac-tion photographs and the phenomenal statistics, little is known about this legendary footballer, who died in 1973 aged just 44.

Now, here’s what’s described as the “untold” story of an Australian sporting icon whose memorabilia is prized behind only Don Brad-man and Phar Lap.

In 68 chapters and seven appendices, Doug Ackerly’s meticulous biography reveals a fi ery personality who clashed heatedly with his cap-tain while playing and with fi ve of his champi-ons as coach.

And, Coleman’s “almost pathological” hatred of umpires saw him reported nine times –and an unprecedented four as coach.

“Myths are exploded,” says the promotional hyperbole, as the author reveals the “true” story behind the infamous Caspar incident that “cost” Essendon the 1951 premiership, and why Cole-man’s knee injury should never have happened in the fi rst place – and how it was dreadfully mismanaged. There has also been debate on the probable cause of the hands-on publican’s premature death.

Coleman’s genius is examined by contem-poraries and in 40 statistical tables, and his successful coaching methods compared with his revered predecessor, Dick Reynolds, and succes-sor, Jack Clarke. His story is illustrated by more than 100 images.

John Coleman was named full-forward in the AFL Team of the Century and is an inaugural Legend in its Hall of Fame.

His memory is now preserved in bronze outside the MCG – and, of course, in an action statue taking a characteristic high mark outside Hastings library.

But, he was much more than that, says the author. Shy, yet charismatic, the country boy grew to captivate the public like few others in a short life – his sporting exploits splashed across newspapers in the 1950s. Above all, he was a devoted family man.

This very human biography, with a foreword by daughter Jenny, reveals all.

PENINSULA residents will have access to improved stroke ser-vices after a 10-bed unit opened at The Mornington Centre for Reha-bilitation and Aged Care. The unit is expected to be up and running later this month.

This follows the recent opening of a 30-bed ward at the Morning-ton Centre, off Separation St.

Karen Bull, the centre’s site manager, said the establishment of the stroke unit would centralise the care of stroke patients.

“Currently stroke patients are treated as part of the general re-habilitation program. In planning for our new facility we identifi ed the need for a single unit to pro-vide specialist care for stroke pa-tients,’’ Ms Bull said.

She said the unit would focus on supporting patients and their family and caregivers through the physical and emotional changes that occur as the result of the stroke. It would help develop care plans that refl ect their needs.

“One of the most important things about stroke recovery is working with patients to set and achieve realistic and ongoing goals both in care and once they have returned home,” Ms Bull said.

The unit, in the existing Gun-namatta ward at the centre, will have a coordinated team of staff specialising in stroke manage-ment and rehabilitation.

“The new unit aims to refl ect the excellent work already taking place in the specialist stroke unit at the Golf Links Road Rehabilita-tion Unit,” Ms Bull said.

ENJOYING its own splendid slice of the peninsula hinterland, and from the air so reminiscent of a beautiful Tuscan villa, rarely has a property of this calibre come onto the market. This stunning rural retreat is suitable for equestrian pursuits, or the operation of a hobby farm with goats or alpacas roaming free around the 9.25 hectares. Divided into seven paddocks - each with a water supply- the central laneways are an excellent improvement for ease of access around the property. The spectacular entrance is framed by wrought-iron gates, with a sweeping driveway threading its way through macrocarpa trees to a wide parking bay at the front of the home. With the grand feel of times gone by, the majestic foyer has a sweeping staircase that takes you up to the bedroom wing and a third living area. A formal living room has a gas log fi re, and a formal dining room will comfortably seat 12 guests. The kitchen is centrally located to the formal areas and a very beautiful open plan area that incorporates a casual meals zone and a family room. The splendid kitchen features quality appliances by DeLonghi with an under-bench oven and gas cook top, a new Asko dishwasher and all complemented by stylish granite benchtops. From the upstairs living room there are superb views across the property, and you can relax in style at the end of the day in the opulent master bedroom suite that boasts a walk-through robe to a spa ensuite, and a parents’ retreat where you can cosy up and watch the sunsets. Three more king-sized bedrooms all have built-in robes and have their own special rural outlook. There is a double garage under the roof line that together brings the home to an impressive 390-square metres (42 square) with several quality outbuildings for farm vehicles and livestock.

A Bittern woman’s day trip from Stony Point to Cowes was ruined when rough weather prevented the ferry from picking her up for the return journey.

Unaware that the boat wouldn’t be making the homeward crossing, she and a friend were left stranded - ‘’waiting on the pier in the freezing cold’’ - until the friend’s husband picked them up by car.

Marg Craig (pictured), of Peppermint Place Bittern, said she and her daughter and grand-daughter enjoyed the crossing and ‘‘did a bit of shopping’’ in the town before returning to the pier for the scheduled 5.25pm ferry home.

But, when reality dawned that the boat wasn’t coming, they were forced to arrange a car trip home with her son-in-law from Baxter.

‘’Their excuse was that it was a bit rough. But why didn’t they arrange a bus for us or any other transport?’’ she asked. ‘’We paid our fares both ways.’’

However, long-time ferry operator Frank

Denver – who was aware of the woman’s com-plaint - said strong winds on the afternoon had forced the ferry master to cancel the run – with passenger safety the only issue.

‘’It’s been our policy for 20 years that if the master determines that it is unsafe to dock then the trip is cancelled,’’ he said.

Mr Denver said it was never guaranteed that the ferry would make the return crossing as Westernport was a volatile marine environment. ‘’We cannot guarantee the weather,’’ he said. ‘’Our tickets go from point A to point B and every trip is a single trip. This is clearly marked on the ticket.’’

He said another unknown was whether pas-sengers were going over for a day, a week or simply one way. ‘’How could we get in touch with them?’’ he asked. ‘’What they do when they fi nish their trip is none of our business.’’

Mr Denver said he had spoken to the ticket seller who reportedly told customers on the day that the weather was deteriorating and asked whether they would like to reconsider their trip.

‘’Ninety per cent of people ignore our warn-ings about weather and then bleat when the vessel isn’t there.’’

He said north-west winds on that morning were around 15 knots – ‘’no big drama’’ -but had risen to 35 knots at Rhyll in the afternoon. ‘’Under Workcover rules we are not allowed to run when the winds are more than 25 knots, and the ferry’s master has the call on whether it’s too dangerous or not.

‘’Basically, staff have minor sympathy for the woman, but if she had taken notice of the fare and the weather warning she would not have found herself in that predicament.’’

But Ms Craig was adamant the ferry operator ‘’knows they did the wrong thing’’.

‘’Naturally the bay gets rough but they should have made alternative arrangements.

‘’They are not running their business properly. They just can’t leave people stranded. Everyone was fl abbergasted. We were in shock.’’

***LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Sir, Kindly spare me space in your columns to comment on the most de-plorable state of the roads in the Hast-ings township. As I travelled by the evening train about a week ago, and in walking down I thought it was the mud fl ats I was on instead of a sup-posed metal road, for the holes in it are more like large crab holes than anything else. As I got into one and what with the road being fl ooded and the hole, I got wet up to my knees, As for the old fashioned lamps, you have to strike a match to fi nd them. For a township like Hastings, it would be nothing out of place if the Council provided acetylene lamps, as they are greatly needed. The next morning as I went for a walk to see if I had left my boot in the hole or not, I was sur-prised to see a large heap of metal ly-ing nearby, and so many holes in the road. Yours etc, A TRAVELLER.

In search of the origins of peninsula footballHISTORY

By Lance HodginsPart OneTHE story of football on the Morning-ton Peninsula has an interesting begin-ning. To fully understand it we need to go back to the origins of Australia Rules in Melbourne and consider the factors which were responsible for its various stages of growth. Some re-markable insights will emerge.

The match played in 1858 in the shadows of the MCG between Mel-bourne Grammar and Scotch College has become legendary.

Forty players per side dodged red-gum trees as they pursued the ball over 600 metres of Yarra Park, follow-ing a loose set of rules agreed upon by each team’s umpire. The game began on Saturday 7 August 1858 and each side scored a goal before fading light forced a postponement. Two weeks later, the two sides met again, but remained scoreless. When no more goals were scored another two weeks later, a fi nal draw was declared.

Tom Wills was one of the umpires on that occasion and he features in the statue which stands outside the MCG today (see below).

Above and below: Early football in Yarra Park

Above: Melbourne Grammar footballers, 1873Below: The 1857 book Tom Brown’s School Days bolstered the popularity of sports as a character building exercise.

Wills, one of the state’s top crick-eters and secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club, had just written an open letter urging cricketers to take up a sport such as football as a means of keeping fi t in the off-season.

It seems that his wishes were already being met. Recent research has sug-gested that there were other matches played in 1858. One of the most sur-

prising fi nds is that Melbourne Gram-mar had already played, and won, a match two months earlier – against the now defunct St Kilda Grammar.

Perhaps as a result of this game, and a week before the Melbourne Grammar vs Scotch game, a scratch match was played between a team of schoolboys and the men of a St Kilda club. The schoolboys almost certainly included students from Scotch, Mel-bourne Grammar and St Kilda Gram-mar, and it was after an hour and a half’s play that the grown men of St Kilda grew frustrated with the “new” rules and their skilful opponents, and the game descended into fi sticuffs.

On that same weekend, a local pub-lican named Jerry Bryant hosted a game in the Yarra Park (MCG) so that all-comers could “bring along their own code” to try out, with the inten-tion of deciding on some common rules in his bar afterwards. Nothing appears to have been recorded for posterity, but this problem was solved the following year with the drafting of the “Melbourne Rules” by Wills and a group of friends who had formed the Melbourne Football Club. Other clubs were soon created and, in 1859, games were being played with increasing frequency in Yarra Park, Princes Park and Fawkner Park.

Wills went to live in Geelong in 1860 and the game gained a strong foothold there. His brother-in-law, HC Harrison, captained one of the Geelong teams and became renowned as the best footballer of the era. This began an intense rivalry between the various Geelong and Melbourne teams that persists to the present day.

Throughout the 1860s, football was tried in those provincial centres with enough people in occupations which did not have to work on Saturday af-ternoons: Ballarat, Bendigo, the port of Warrnambool, and the gold towns of Heathcote and Maryborough.

By 1877, there was a new Victorian Football Association, a revised set of rules, and almost 150 teams spread across the suburbs of Melbourne – each promoting pride in their commu-nity, a particularly important role es-pecially for the working class families of the inner suburbs.

And the crowds loved it. Matches between Melbourne and Carlton, for instance, were drawing up to 15,000 spectators, far exceeding the numbers attending the rugby and FA Cup fi nals in England. Furthermore, “Marvellous Melbourne” was about to enter the long boom years of the 1880s when jobs and home ownership fl ourished, immigrants poured in, and its popula-tion would top the one million mark. Australian football had truly arrived.

A few signifi cant factors stand out in the evolution of the game.

It is not surprising that the earli-est organised games were played by schoolboys, as they were the segment of society with the largest amount of leisure time at their disposal. Further-more, many private schools at that time had headmasters who believed that a vigorous team sport was the key to building men of good charac-ter. This philosophy was popularly

bolstered by the publication in 1857 of Tom Brown’s School Days, a semi-fi ctional tale set in the famous Rugby school, where the central character became hero of the day in a grand football match.

The headmasters of Melbourne Grammar, Scotch College and St Kilda Grammar were from England, Scotland and the Channel Isles re-spectively, and they brought their own codes of football with them. They were certainly not united by rugby and therefore had to fi nd some common ground of their own. From these beginnings, the rules of the game evolved and participation wid-ened to include men of every occu-pation. It is therefore reasonable to expect that frustration and argument would be commonplace.

The need for people with available leisure time capable of understanding new and constantly developing rules meant that the game did not spread that easily. The more remote rural areas of the state were fairly slow to adopt the new game, especially in the days before the establishment of the railway network. Many smaller towns tried a version of the game once or twice before returning to the ploughing match and other more rel-evant rural contests.

It would be thirty years after those fi rst exploratory games of 1858 that the fi rst offi cial football clubs would be seen on the Mornington Peninsula.

By Stuart McCulloughDID you ever truly hate someone? So much so that their every success leaves a taste in your mouth so bitter that it threatens to ruin your tastebuds for all eternity? Where their slightest triumph or most feeble of victories is like a slap to the face with a wet hamster? An en-mity so powerful that it is undimmed by years and distance? I’m talking about the kind of loathing where the mere mention of their name is like a kick in the down-belows by a hung-over Draught horse. I’m ashamed to admit it but I carry precisely that kind of detestation inside me.

A bigger person wouldn’t let the ac-complishments of others affect them so deeply, but this is a grudge that I have carried for most of my life and there’s not a snowfl ake’s chance in Laverton that I’m about to let bygones to bygones now. It’s gone too far for that. The simple truth is this: the fi res of hatred burn brightly within me for one thing and one thing only: Lego.

Let it be said from the outset that the feeling is absolutely, 100% mutual. Odium and abhorrence may well nest within my bosom for an educational toy and, granted, many would consid-er such naked revulsion to border on the unnatural, but it’s not just one-way traffi c we’re talking about.

Lego, too, despised me right from the outset. I’d go so far as to say it was enmity at fi rst sight. From the moment I was fi rst big enough to hold a plas-tic brick in my tiny hands and wonder who turned the television off because I’d rather be watching an episode of

The Banana Splits than wasting my time messing around with the Danish idea of a practical joke, we have been the most bitter of rivals.

Some might look at a small plastic brick and see a house, a car or even an entire city, just waiting to be brought to life. I, on the other hand, saw some-thing that didn’t taste very good, de-

spite my repeated efforts. In fact, it’s true that you can make almost any-thing out of Lego, except dinner. Then there are the little Lego people, with their plastic helmet hair that so closely resembled my own. Even as a child I could tell they were mocking me. I vowed to destroy them. But vanquish-ing an enemy is no easy thing, particu-

larly when they’re made of acryloni-trile butadiene styrene rather than your traditional fl esh and blood. However, Lego has done more than just avoid being consumed by the vicissitudes of my smouldering damnation. It has thrived. It has fl ourished in a way that I could never have imagined. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that it is now more popular than ever.

Just last week I received an email from an on-line bookstore to say that Lego would soon be putting out a new novel. Let me simply say that some-thing is drastically wrong with the publishing industry if a bunch of one-inch fi gurines have published as many books as I have. The sales fi gures will, doubtless, be staggering. I’m sure that it will be a gripping read. But how should such a weighty tome begin? Perhaps something with a Dickensian feel will appeal to the masses. ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was playtime’. Or maybe it will be in the form of a diary where we have to sit through the daily problems of an ordinary piece of Lego and its search for love. Sigh. Now that I think about it, the book’s probably a memoir – publishers love that kind of thing. If it were up to me, I’d make it a Choose Your Own Adventure book and make sure all the endings involved being melted in a furnace.

Then there’s the Lego Movie that has been so wildly successful that there’s talk of a sequel. How predicta-ble. Personally, I’d prefer a prequel to a sequel any day. Maybe they can get the Lego version of Jar Jar Binks to

appear and stink the thing up good and proper. So what’s left for Lego? A chat show? Reading the news? Big Brother contestant? Maybe a mentor on ‘The Voice’? It’s inevitable that they’ll put out their own album. And although I’d love to declare that the world simply has no use for records made by lumps of plastic, the on-going success of Madonna suggests there’s a market for that kind of thing. Let’s face it, there’s just no stopping them. Lego will rule us all.

Clearly, my campaign of vilifi cation has failed. Despite all my letters, the countless petitions and the ceaseless cyber-stalking, Lego has remained wholly immune to my efforts to de-stroy it. Enough is enough – perhaps it’s time to call a truce. After all, every war must end eventually. It’s probably up to me to make the fi rst move. Per-haps I could kick off my ceasefi re by watching the Lego Movie. Or maybe by reading the Lego Book. It couldn’t be any worse than The Bridges of Madison County. It’s time to admit that all this pettiness and vindictive-ness is making me less of a human be-ing. I ought to be a little bigger. In fact, I need to surrender and start afresh. Things will be better if I do. But that’s easier said than done. For no matter how hard I try, how often I swear I’ll change, it always seems beyond me. It seems that, after all these years, I… just… can’t… Lego.

***UK singer Adele has recently given her fans a hint that she may release a new album this year. The elusive singer has remained largely out of the public spotlight since the huge success of her 2011 album 21.

***FORMER Peninsula School student James Reyne has announced he will do a tour of Australian Crawl songs called ‘The Crawl Files Live’ in Au-gust.

***JOEL and Benj Madden are set to re-lease their fi rst album as a double act.

The brothers, on hiatus from their band Good Charlotte, will release The Madden Brothers’ debut, Greet-ings From California, in October. It includes a single co-written with Phar-rell Williams.

***Godzilla (Roadshow Films) has smashed its way to the top of the US box offi ce. The 3D monster movie had the second largest debut of the year taking $100.9 million in the fi rst weekend of release.

***A US lawyer is threatening to hold up the release of Led Zeppelin’s up-coming Led Zeppelin IV reissue over credit.

The lawyer is representing the late Spirit guitarist, Randy California, who he claims inspired the classic tune, Stairway to Heaven.

The lawyer, Francis Molofl y, alleges the 1971 single, which appears on IV, was lifted from Spirit’s 1968 song, Taurus, and he is hoping to prevent the rockers from releasing the remastered album….

***

I CAN’T say I’m shocked at Tony’s budget. He promised: no new taxes, no tax increases, no cuts to the ABC or SBS, no cuts to health or education, no pension or GST changes. He got the last one right but I remain a monkey’s un-cle. The end of entitlement has begun, as our Treasurer predicted on that world stage (in London) last year in his speech to the movers and shakers. Tony’s an-swer (“I stand by what I said before the election”) was surely from Alice in Wonderland. Brazen for Tony, hubris for the ambitious blowhard Joe. Power-ful bullies.

***THE 2 per cent tax increase for those paid over $180,000 - or $5 a week - is for those who don’t pay tax anyway. $245 million for school chaplains to provide our kids with spiritual guid-ance? The $7 for a doctor visit to fund medical science can be compared with Napthine’s monorail to Melbourne Air-port. No change on the cost to govern-ment ($40 billion) of tax concessions on superannuation. Always nice to keep the top 10 per cent chosen ones happy. They need it to pay for their cigarettes.

***COMMISERATIONS to those born after 1965 (pension eligibility), includ-ing my daughter, who popped out unex-pectedly after a wild dinner dance even-ing way back when. We oldies regret

the passing of “the dinner dance” phase. The Tower Hotel in Hawthorn has some tales to tell. Commiserations also to the Coalition voters who will suffer under Joe’s budget. Alas, knowing you lot, come the next election you will do the same thing.

***LOOKING on the bright side the harsher the budget, the more chance of getting rid of the deceitful duo. Mr Bland (Billy Boy) is not one to inspire confi dence but surely this gives him something to work with. Oh, and thanks for the $175,000 for tour signage on the Mornington Peninsula.

***CONCLUSIONS: A tsunami of nar-cissism and skulduggery. Philosopher Alain de Botton says to draw pictures of “interesting things” proving the wis-dom of philosophers? Perhaps draw a magpie? No, they’re gone, this year at least. I prefer dance. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Maybe log on to arts and culture on the Mornington Pen-insula and beyond. Enough!

***WHENEVER there’s a TV news item on property values we see shots of a spiffy looking real estate agent slapping the pamphlet held hand on the other saying “sold” to the lucky buyer, the “lucky” assuming interest rates do not rise beyond repayment limitations. I’ve

attended a few with no intention to pur-chase, more a fascination of the agent working to the adrenaline of the last two or three would be buyers, or, as is some-times the case, left hanging mid-air for want of any response. Not always, but sometimes pure theatre. Even better with a female auctioneer.

***SWINGING on a star? USA Senator Paul Tsongas, deciding not to run for re-election after being diagnosed with cancer. “No man ever said on his death bed I wish I had spent more time at the offi ce”. We don’t spend enough time smelling the roses. It’s coming up ten years since my wife passed away. At my age I have nothing better to do than re-fl ect. I was lucky on balance, chance be-ing an enormous factor. Missed World War II, missed the Korean War, public service for 20 years, married 43 years, other jobs, kids, paying the debts. It was towards the end of my time in the public service I had a thought, as it happened my fi rst original thought; the need for a balance between work and living.

***WE had our arguments about money, power and sex; who doesn’t? More a case of separate inner frustrations in living to a pattern (Is That All There Is, Peggy Lee), no matter the circle of friends. My wife tried a medita-tion group (so she said?) and painting,

enriching her separate world. I tried writing. The love remained as did the arguments but happiness was there in another form, richer. Separate and together. The benefi t of computers is there, but only if it frees up time to ex-pand and appreciate your world. The same applies to television. Both want your money, neither necessarily making you smarter. A good job is a good job but unless there’s more to it than money it has limited happiness value. Extend your boundaries if circumstances allow. We only get one shot at it.

***JULIA’S Tim Mathieson having a go at Tony Abbott’s lovely fi rst lady thereby bring the full wrath of my favour-ite newspaper (Herald-Sun) down on him. Not too bright, Tim. Ditto Daniel Andrews on the suggestion of capping council rates to the CPI. Local govern-ment is separate. Cheap politics.

***MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is poised for a new era, as in ‘bye bye de-mocracy’ and farewell to Frank Martin and the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. Sadly, the powerful win again. Best not to worry; move on.

***WITH all the talk of corruption (fi xed gambling) in sport we Collingwood supporters have nothing to worry about. We already get robbed almost weekly

PerformanceFRONTIER Touring has announced the return of one of music’s most icon-ic groups to our shores. Renowned for their hit laden sell-out concerts, the Eagles are bringing their critically ac-claimed ‘History of the Eagles’ World Tour to Australia and New Zealand in February/March 2015. Notably, it will be the band’s fi rst visit to New Zea-land in twenty years.

Performing a massive run of shows, the tour will include indoor arena dates in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney as well as special outdoor concerts in Hunter Valley, Auckland and Victo-ria’s iconic Hanging Rock.

The legendary Hotel California out-fi t will perform their career-spanning History Of the Eagles concerts, which sees members Glenn Frey, Don Hen-ley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmit deliver an incredible three-hour song-fest of classic Eagles hits, including tracks the band had never previously performed live Including celebrated favourites such as Desperado, Take It Easy, New Kid In Town, Lyin’ Eyes and Take It To The Limit, the ‘History Of The Eagles’ global trek has already elated fans across the USA and Cana-da since their latest world jaunt kicked off in July 2013.

The band reformed for a huge live album in 1994, Hell Freezes Over, and a three-year tour, which broke records worldwide and cemented the group’s place in music history. 2007’s Long Road Out of Eden was a defi ning disc, with the track I Dreamed There Was No War winning a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance, tak-ing the Eagles on tour to countries as

far fl ung as South Africa, China and Dubai. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, the year follow-ing the Eagles were honoured by RIAA for ‘Best Selling Album of the Cen-tury’ for compilation Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975). Notably this album remains the highest selling album of all time in the USA.

The Eagles will appear at Rod La-ver Arena on Sunday 22 February and Hanging Rock on Saturday 28 Febru-ary.

Tickets 132 849 for Rod Laver and Hanging Rock 136 100.

***ROXETTE will also appear at the Rod Laver Arena on Friday 20 Februray and Rochford Winery on Saturday 21 February. Special guests Boom Crash Opera. Tickets 13 28 49. www.livena-tion.com.au

between Sydney and Brooke’s ‘shed’ studio at her Central Coast home.

Having spent most of the past few years in the USA, this is the fi rst al-bum that the trio have recorded in Australia in an effort to reconnect with their roots. The girls worked with re-nowned Australian producer Lindsay Rimes (Tina Arena, Lee Kernaghan, Stan Walker) on the record. The album is fi lled with heartfelt stories, irresist-ible tunes and that unmistakable hon-esty.

The multi-talented sisters from Grafton have come a long way since they fi rst joined musical forces seven years ago. Together they have released an impressive sixteen singles and three albums, and amassed two ARIA Awards (including Best Country Al-bum), eight Golden Guitar Awards and an APRA Award.

MORNINGTON WINTER JAZZ FESTIVAL LAUNCH - 29 May 2014 Pictures: Daryl Gordon


LATELY I’ve noticed that there seems to be a common perception amongst parents whose babies know how to sleep, that parents whose babies don’t sleep are, well, insane.

And here’s the thing. As a parent who has endured now 14 months of sleep deprivation and 3 visits to sleep school I’d just like to tell you that chances are, well, we are.

And so what I’m noticing is this divide between parents who may have had the odd sleepless night due to illness, teething, separation anxiety and the like and parents who’s little ones just don’t seem to understand the concept of sleep.

To help clear things up for everyone and to ease some of the tension that may be brewing amongst your friends or your parents group or your online networks, I have created a list of what not to say to your sleep deprived friends:

1. You just need to listen to your baby and do what’s right by them.

Nope. Tried that. Turns out what’s right for my baby is being cuddled, upright with his head on my shoulder while I prance around the room all night. And as he dozes off in to his beautiful baby dreamland and I gently, quietly transition him to his bed he screams bloody murder until I return him to the aforementioned position. Sometimes what’s right for baby, makes mummy go nutso.

2. You can’t expect your baby to sleep for 12 hours straight and the sooner you let that expectation you go, the better off you’ll be!

Hold up. When did we say anything about 12 hours sleep. A 4 hour block of sleep would be bliss!

3. Wait til number 2, you

won’t even be able to think about sleep you’ll be so busy!

At this rate, we don’t have the energy to think about numero 2, let alone conceive it.

4. Just try not to overthink it!Good point. So when I’m wide

awake between 2am and 4am, instead of thinking about why I’m awake and how much I’d rather be asleep, I’ll just think about daffodils and daisies and all will be fi ne. (Sorry, this ones a bit sarcastic, but those that have spent those hours awake on a regular basis know that it’s pretty tough to do anything but think of sweet, sweet sleep)

5. Have you tried (blanky, night light, patting, rocking,

shushing, music, making the room darker, put them to bed later, earlier, change their bedtime routine, etc)?

Yes. We’ve also tried Richard Mercer’s love song dedications and sleeping with an old tshirt that reeks of me and EVERYTHING in between. The only thing we’re yet to try is sleeping pills but trust me, they’ve been considered.

6. I hears ya, my 7 year old still doesn’t sleep through the night

Don’t. Just don’t. 7. The baby can sense your

anxietyGreat, my infant doesn’t know

that if he closes his eyes he’ll have an instant remedy for his manic overtiredness but the clever little bugger can smell fear.

8. I’d just let them cry it out, but that’s just me.

Oh we’ve tried letting him cry…he just doesn’t get the “it out” part.

9. Any baby can sleep through the night. It’s up to the parent.

Oooh thems fi ghting words! 10. My baby is such a good

sleeper. But I think it’s because I……

Because you what? Have a more soothing womb that promoted sleep in your belly?

11. Gosh, my baby woke at 6.30am this morning. I’m so tired!

No, you’re not. To those of you who have

offered me advice over the past year or so, I truly do thank you and I understand that you’ve only ever tried to help. I also understand that in hindsight your advice would probably have worked for much of the time.

Unfortunately, when one is sleep deprived, there’s not much that can be said other than this:

“You must be exhausted. Do you want me to mind baby for a couple of hours so you can have a nap?”

Or “I have some phenergan in my handbag”

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntRosebud’s season is well and truly back on track after coming from be-hind to beat Devon Meadows in Ne-pean League Football on Saturday.

It was a must-win game for the Buds, who had won just two matches leading up to the clash.

Despite losing three games by less than two goals this season, a loss on Saturday would have seen Rosebud miss out on the fi nal fi ve.

Now, the Buds are back in the mix and at the end of the split round, will be just one game outside the top bracket.

However, at half time on Saturday, it seemed the Buds’ season was shot.

Devon Meadows played their best quarter of footy for the season in the second quarter, booted eight goals to two points and led by 30 points at half time.

However, the Buds worked tireless-ly in the second hour, thanks largely to skipper Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley, and got themselves back in the contest.

The Buds reduced the margin to eight points at three quarter time and booted 3.6 to 2.2 in the fi nal quarter to sneak home by two points, 11.17 (83) to 12.9 (81).

Devon Meadows coach Brent Clin-nick said his team was devastated after the loss.

“To have 19 inside 50’s in that sec-

ond quarter and play our best footy for the year, then not give a yelp in the second half was really disappointing,” said Clinnick.

“I really rate Rosebud as a footy club and they just gone down to work in the second half.

“We just didn’t have the same in-tensity or work rate and basically, we

chased bums in the second half.“The positive is that we are not far

away, but with a tough month coming up, it puts us back to the pack a bit,” he said.

To make matters worse for the Pan-thers, it appears star Beau Miller may have torn his ACL, which would be season ending. He came off at the ten

minute mark of the second quarter.“We get Brian Wapshot and Billy

Hayes back next week but it’s another big test against Dromana,” said Clin-nick.

Pearcedale led from start to fi nish to record its best win for the season against Crib Point, winning 22.10 (142) to 16.20 (116).

The Dales’ stars fi red with Dylan Hoare getting a heap of the footy, Pat Cadd continuing his superb season and Patty Heijden playing his best game for the year with seven goals.

Basil Sibasado also dominated once again with fi ve majors, while teenag-ers Gordan Waterfall, Lachy Marshall and Aidan Simmons were fi rst rate.

Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd said it was a nice feeling having a win.

“It was great to play a game of footy with plenty of enthusiasm,” said Cadd.

“The boys were really up for the challenge and great belief in them-selves that they could win the game.

“We’ve played ten fi rst gamers this season and at different times, some have done really well and others not so much.

“On Saturday, everything clicked for them and they made a really good contribution.

“The kids continue to improve and although there is some inconsistency, as long as we see them improve we’ll continue to get better as a team.

“Hopefully the group now under-stands the levels we need to reach to be competitive and win games of

footy.“Although we were belted by

Dromana, we still had almost 30 scor-ing shots and played some really good footy.

“Improvement is all we can ask for,” said Cadd.

For the Magpies, that’s two losses in a row.

Hastings’ season is over after going down to Somerville by 24 points, 14.6 (90) to 8.18 (66).

The Eagles’ jumped the visitors in the opening quarter and led by 20 points at quarter time.

Even without coach David Hirst, the Eagles got an even contribution yet again with the likes of seasoned cam-paigners Stephen Crowe, Luke Collie and Timmy Hirst dominating.

Brad Rowe was also very good, Jus-tin Farrelly was back from a shoulder injury and Jake Ryan continues to play consistently good football.

The Blues had good service from arguably its best two players in Jus-tin Berry and Brendan Dunne, while Dale Alanis played his best game for the club.

In the fi nal game of the round, Frankston Bombers overcame a slow start to best Tyabb 20.17 (137) to 14.11 (95).

Zac Longham booted fi ve goals for the winners while Jay Reynolds and James Degenhardt dominated.

Jake Anderson kicked four for the Yabbies and Rohan West three while they also collected the top votes.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntEDITHVALE-ASPENDALE played some of its best football for the year to lead Langwarrin all afternoon in Penin-sula League Football.

The Eagles have been incredibly incon-sistent this season, however apart from a lapse in the second quarter on Saturday, they controlled the match for the remain-der and ran out comfortable 13.15 (93) to 12.6 (78) winners.

It was a meeting during the week lead-ing up to this clash that resulted in the turn around of form and general spirit among the group.

Despite missing stars including Mark Mullins, Jarrod Garth and Tim Mavric, the Eagles were impressive.

Matthew Clark, who was suspended by ASADA while playing for Frankston Dol-phins a couple of seasons ago, made his return to football and was superb.

Eighteen-year-old Angus Scott was dy-namite and used explosive pace to his ad-vantage, while 16-year-old Darcy Warke was tremendous for the winners.

And then there was Stevey Mannix who dominated across half back and Brent Bowden who worked tirelessly across half forward and was the best player on the ground with four goals.

When the team needed a shot in the arm, on the couple of occasions that Langwar-rin was fi ghting back, Tim Mannix found the footy in dangerous areas and fi nished with a couple of goals.

Matt Kremmer booted two goals up against the boundary line from long range but more importantly, kept Langwarrin’s Rikki Johnston deep in defence, which worked against the Kangas because they lost that drive.

Matt Dimkos was a shining light for the Kangas, fi nishing with six goals. No question he is a stay at home forward and shouldn’t leave the 50 metre circle.

Edithvale coach Troy Shannon said it was a very different Saturday night at home following the win.

“The last couple of Saturday nights (af-ter losses to Mornington and Frankston YCW),

“I’ve been laying on the couch with my baby daughter and we’ve both been suck-ing our thumbs,” said Shannon.

“Last Saturday night, I was able to watch the Bombers beat the Tigers, which really topped off a great day.”

Shannon said the game was a “little re-fl ective” of his team’s year.

“We play some really good quarters of footy and some really poor ones,” said Shannon.

“I guess on Saturday we were able to play better for longer.

“I thought we both played a similar style of game. I was impressed with Langwar-rin. They just seem a little light-on at the minute in terms of their body size.”

There’s no doubt that Edithvale won the clearances and they were also a lot more potent in attack with Nick Connellan, Bowden and Kremmer all up there.

Had Garth played, Connellan would have gone back and Dimkos wouldn’t have booted six goals.

While Langwarrin started the year well,

losses against last year’s grand fi nalists would suggest they are still not worthy of being included in talk of the top three teams in the competition.

The Kangas will be fi ghting it out with Mt Eliza for fi fth spot.

Mornington is the sleeping giant after beating Frankston YCW.

The Stonecats went into the game with-out ruckman Ash Eames (hamstring), while the Doggies were notably missing Dale Nolan and Anthony Franchina.

The Dogs got the jump on YCW in the opening quarter and despite being chal-lenged in the third term, were able to push on and record a 10.11 (71) to 8.10 (58) victory.

Jai Haddock and Michael Gay were out-standing in the ruck for the winners while Aidan Speedy continued his sensational season with two goals.

Brad Ulms shouldered the ruck work for the Stonecats and did the job well.

Tony Lester was solid and Scott Macle-od fi nished with three goals.

Bonbeach turned it on again on Satur-day and continued to build its season, this time beating Mt Eliza.

The Sharks opened up a three goal break in the opening quarter and led by as much as 30 points at different stages in the sec-ond and third quarters.

The fi nal margin should have been great-er considering the Sharks had an addition-al 13 scoring shots. They won the match 13.16 (94) to 9.7 (61).

Shane McDonald was clearly the best player on the ground with six goals while Jackson Casey, Matt Batten and Anthony Raso were also dominant. Nathan Hicks fi nished with three majors.

Karl Lombardozzi and Sam Gill worked tirelessly for the Redlegs.

Tommy Shaw booted six goals to help Seaford to a 13.13 (91) to 10.11 (71) vic-tory against arch rivals Pines on Saturday.

The Tigers have been playing well but not winning this season. However, on Sat-urday, they were superb against the Py-thons.

There wasn’t a lot between the sides for most of the afternoon but when the game needed to be won, the Tigers stepped up.

Brayden Irving was released from Dol-phins’ duties and was the key difference between the sides, dominating for the Ti-gers.

Nick Boswell also played his best game since returning to the club and coach Ben Crowe was outstanding also.

Beau Hendry and Jamie Messina (three goals) were the best of the Pythons, while Guy Hendry and Shaun White also worked hard.

Chelsea won its second game of the sea-son, beating Karingal 16.12 (108) to 8.14 (62).

Matty Baxter and Hudson Thomas each kicked three goals for the Gulls while Jayden Attard, Richard Jaroszczuk, Daniel Aarsman and Zac Graham dominated.

Luke Van Raay kicked three majors for the Bulls and was one of the team’s best, while Grant Goodall and Tom Brennan were also very good for the visitors.
