RACV puts brake on roo cullMike [email protected]

RACV head offi ce moved quickly to stop the culling of kangaroos at its Cape Schanck resort last week after complaints from neighbours.

A couple who live in the adjacent estate were walking two dogs on leads on a concrete path just before 7am last Thursday when they saw a spooked

kangaroo hopping rapidly beside the third fairway then across the fourth and into bush bordering Cape Schanck Rd near the fi fth hole.

Seconds later John Henshaw and his wife saw two men emerge from bushes where the third and fourth holes blend.

“One had a large rifl e with telescopic sights, a bipod [two-legged gun stand] and a very large silencer,” Mr Hen-shaw told The News.

The men climbed in to a golf course maintenance vehicle and drove off to-ward the course workshop.

Mr Henshaw reported the incident to the golf course pro shop as well as Rosebud police.

Later in the morning he was called by the resort’s acting manager, Allison McCrindle, who said the RACV had permission to kill kangaroos because, she said, there “had been an attack” but

would not elaborate.Mr Henshaw speculated that an in-

cident several months ago may have led to the proposed cull. A woman was riding a bike with her dog off lead. The dog had encountered a kangaroo, which had turned on it and chased it, distressing the woman.

“These kangaroos are protected in principle and are harmless in practice. We see them, up close and personal, al-

most daily,” Mr Henshaw said.“We know of people who leave their

gates open to let them in and out of their property when their children are playing. It is a ridiculous overkill to get a permit, and have a man with a bloody big gun with a silencer, 20 metres from houses in the post-dawn hours, trying to shoot three kangaroos who don’t harm anyone.”

Stolen donations: Op shop president Graham Fitzgerald, Pam Schmitter and Jan Lez despair at actions of callous ‘customers’. Picture: Yanni

VOLUNTEERS are dismayed at the thefts of donated goods from the Southern Peninsula Community Fund Op Shop.

They estimate up to $20,000 has been lost to thieves who regularly target the shop after hours, stealing goods left by generous donors.

Photographs have been taken of the cars they say are being used by the thieves who probably sell the goods at Sunday markets, online or at garage sales.

In doing so, the thieves are depriv-ing the shop of income it donates to community causes and clothing that could be bought at low cost by needy people and families.

Police have been given details of the suspect vehicles, but are power-less unless they can catch the thieves in the act.

DROMANA Football and Netball Club wants in on a plan to develop a section of Crown land on Boundary Rd, Dromana, into an adventure park.

The senior and junior sections of the club have been seeking more ovals for several years as its ground off Pier St – Dromana Recreation Reserve – is at capacity.

Next season the club will have 15 teams playing at the reserve – 11 jun-ior teams (including two girls’ sides) and four senior teams, including a pro-posed women’s team.

Thirteen teams played there this year. A second girls’ team and the women’s team will be added for 2016.

Football club president Mark Craw-shaw told The News the recently re-leased proposal to develop a $6 million adventure park at 161-191 Boundary Rd – land managed by Parks Victoria on behalf of the state and known as Parkdale Estate – should have at least one football ground and a soccer pitch.

“Land for sports is limited in the area. It is the council’s responsibility to provide more facilities for young peo-ple with all the benefi ts that this would bring,” he said.

The adventure park concept is be-

ing promoted by a group of entrepre-neurs led by Stephen Todd. The group wants to build a network of mountain bike trails, pedestrian and dog walking paths, fi tness area, hall and car park.

The land is on the Arthurs Seat es-carpment between Hillview Communi-ty Reserve and Hillview Quarries’ old Pioneer quarry, which itself is subject to a development proposal (“Hillview seeks new quarry”, The News, 1/9/15).

Mornington Peninsula Shire and Parks Victoria have had sporadic dis-cussions over almost two years about a land swap of Parkdale Estate and a shire reserve known as Concept Spur, 55 hectares west of Purves Rd between

Seamists Drive and Waterfall Gully Rd, and adjacent to Seawinds Gardens.

Concept Spur was given to the Shire of Flinders in 1974 when a developer subdivided the land for homes.

Last Friday, Mr Crawshaw said he and other club offi cials heard about the adventure park from Stephen Todd at last week’s meeting of the Association for Building Community in Dromana (ABCD).

“We had a brief discussion with Mr Todd and told him about our wish list of two sporting grounds. His ar-chitect said there would have to be a seven-storey cut into the slope to cre-ate enough level ground but we think

part of the land close to Boundary Rd – known as Pat’s Paddock opposite Col-lins Rd – would need less cutting if a retaining wall was used,” he said. “Mr Todd said he was happy to work with the club.”

The adventure park plan was too lim-ited as it currently existed, Mr Craw-shaw said.

Clubs in the Nepean League needed at least two footy grounds. Rye was in the same boat as it too would have a new women’s team next season, he said. Mr Crawshaw said the AFL South East commission’s development man-ager Cam Roberts was interested in the potential new oval.

NDIS starts 2018THE National Disability Insurance Scheme will be introduced on the Mornington Peninsula from 1 April 2018.

Roll out plans for Victoria were announced last week with the fi rst places in the state to receive the scheme from next July.

Community services organisation Karingal currently offers a range of disability services on the peninsula as well as in the Barwon, Wyndham and southwest Victoria regions, support-ing more than 2000 people.

It was part of the Barwon region trial, which has become a template for the NDIS in Australia, and will expand its services on the peninsula including showing residents on how to prepare for the scheme.

Brandon Howard of Karingal said 105,000 Victorians would benefi t.

“The NDIS will empower people with a disability to ultimately lead a more fulfi lling life, providing inde-pendence, opportunity and a greater inclusion within their community,” he said. “We will be scheduling informa-tion sessions on the peninsula to pass on our knowledge and experience.”

Come ‘n Try DayA FREE Senior Victorian Come and Try Day will be held at Camp Man-yung, Mt Eliza, 10am-1pm, Monday 5 October.

A range of fun and exciting activi-ties are planned.

“Our goal is to try and get senior Victorians outdoors and be active while having fun with each other,” program offi cer Kiandra Patterson said.

“We were hoping our event will help senior Victorians get active.”

Seniors can reserve a ticket for the day by calling 9788 1100.

TONY Abbott was ousted as prime minister last week by his Liberal Party colleagues but local federal MPs Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt re-mained loyal to Mr Abbott until the end.

Both confi rmed they voted for the former prime minister in the party room ballot won by challenger Malcolm Turnbull 55-44 last Mon-day evening (14 September).

Bruce Billson, the member for Dunkley and until Sunday, the Small Business Minister, said last week the Abbott government was “getting plenty of good things done but there wasn’t a sense that was being conveyed well and clearly to the electorate”.

“We’re two years into a three-year term and my colleagues felt a change in captain-coach would be a sensible thing to do,” he said.

“I voted for Tony Abbott. Being a cabinet minister brings with it an additional level of re-sponsibility to work with and support the prime minister.

“I take that responsibility seriously and it might be a little old-fashioned but I’m a great believer that you go home with those who brought you to the dance and felt that was the right and proper and honourable thing to do.”

Environment Minister Greg Hunt, the mem-ber for Flinders, also believed cabinet loyalty is important.

“I supported Malcolm Turnbull when I was a member of Mr Turnbull’s shadow cabinet in 2009 and equally, as a matter of deep personal principle and duty, I remained loyal to Mr Ab-bott as a member of his cabinet and voted ac-cordingly,” he said in a statement provided to The News.

The local cabinet members’ sense of loyalty to their leader last week was not shared by sev-eral of their cabinet colleagues, including Julie Bishop and Christopher Pyne, who sided with Mr Turnbull in the leadership ballot.

Mr Billson hoped the Coalition government

could now put internal divisions over leadership to bed and get on with governing the country.

“I think Malcolm Turnbull has made it quite clear that he and our team start from a solid foundation of good achievements and positive momentum on the economy, on jobs, on securi-ty and a range of policy fronts but he’s indicated a particular focus on preparing our nation, our economy and our citizens for the future.”

Mr Hunt congratulated Mr Turnbull “on be-coming the 29th Prime Minister of Australia”.

“Prime Minister Turnbull has already said he intends to keep our climate change policies and targets,” Mr Hunt said.

“Right now our focus is on the future. We are focused on the economy, jobs and security. We are focused on delivering Australia the good government it deserves.”

Mr Billson admitted some constituents were “were quite sad with the way Prime Minister Abbott was dealt with” by his Liberal Party col-leagues and “felt if there was to be a change they would rather that was done at the ballot box” but he said others had contacted his offi ce in the past few days to “recognise the need for change”.

“They realised we could not risk a change of government and Bill Shorten and the CFMEU running the country,” he said.

Mr Abbott was deposed as prime minister by his party just under two years after winning the 2013 federal election.

His time in offi ce was marred by controversy including broken pre-election promises includ-ing funding cuts to education and hospitals and a fi rst federal budget deemed by many to be un-fair on lower and middle-income earners.

Opinion polls consistently showed the Abbott government was unpopular with voters after be-ing elected.

Mr Turnbull announced a reshuffl ed cabinet on Sunday (20 September). Mr Billson lost his cabinet post as Small Business Minister to Kelly O’Dwyer but Mr Hunt remained Environ-ment Minister.

Mr Turnbull will now keep an eye on opinion polls and could decide to call an election before January 2017 if the Coalition’s political fortunes improve under his prime ministership.

COUNCILLORS have taken a deci-sive step towards closing Mornington Peninsula Shire’s last rubbish tip, at Rye, after a long campaign to send all kerbside waste out of the municipality.

At their 14 September meeting, councillors resolved not to extend Rye landfi ll but to close the controversial Truemans Rd site from 30 June, 2018, conditional on what appears to be an easily met condition.

This condition is that the shire seeks expressions of interest by 14 Decem-ber for kerbside waste disposal at a

site “other than at the Rye landfi ll”. A site in Hallam Rd, Hampton Park, some half-hour from the peninsula, is considered a strong possibility. No other site is available on the

peninsula after the Environment Pro-tection Authority’s refusal in 2013 to permit rubbish dumping at the disused Pioneer quarry at Arthurs Seat.

Councillors approved an amended motion, moved by Cr Hugh Fraser and seconded by Cr Anne Shaw, that included: Seeking expressions of interest for

moving waste off the peninsula. Continuing the shire’s commit-

ment to alternative waste technology,

possibly including high-temperature incineration of waste. Expanding the weekly opt-in green

waste service to include food. Introducing a weekly summer re-

cycling service. Extending the free green waste

weekend service to include the preced-ing Friday.

Councillors also approved deferring the shire’s waste and resource strategy to enable the expressions of interest process to proceed.

This resolution replaced the offi cers’ recommendation that Rye landfi ll be developed in stages “until an [alterna-tive waste technology] is identifi ed”.

No such technology appears to be im-minent and would likely only result from a state government initiative be-cause of cost.

The report to councillors stated that 28 complaints about tip odour had been received since early June after a letter-box drop at the 2300 houses within 1.5 kilometres of the landfi ll publicised the establishment of a hotline.

The shire developed the hotline and an “odour surveillance program” in consultation with the EPA.

The report to councillors calculated that moving waste off the peninsula would cost between $55.88 and $58.38 a household at current prices over 30

years, compared with between $36.44 and $52.01 a household for full or part-development of Rye landfi ll.

It also stated that 65 per cent of the additional $6.5 million budgeted for waste would go to extending Rye.

The shire ran its own waste manage-ment strategy until a few years ago, when it lost its battle for independence and became part of the Metropolitan Waste Management Group.

Its policy, to keep shire waste in the shire, was defended with dire warnings of the distance – and cost – of taking shire rubbish more than 100 kilometres to Werribee or to slightly closer land-fi lls at Sunshine or Deer Park.

Rye tip to close in three yearsDavid [email protected]

THE new section of Rosebud pier, of-fi cially opened two weeks ago with little fanfare by Parks Victoria, com-plements nearby beach renourishment completed at about the same time by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Parks has spent about $3.5 million on the 329-metre long pier in two tranches between 2009 and this year, while the state environment depart-ment has spent about $500,000 in two lots to replenish the beach.

The fi rst attempt was in mid-2009 when contractors built a sandbag wall on the eroded shoreline and placed im-ported sand between it and the water.

The sand disappeared in April 2009 when storms and high tides blasted the beach as well as others around Port Phillip. The sandbag wall, or revet-ment, survived the battering.

The vandal-proof revetment consists of six levels, three below low tide and three above, and is designed to last 15 years.

The project cost $250,000 in 2009 and the department claimed it would create a beach 160 metres long by 10 metres wide. It did but nature took it away.

This time environment department contractors have placed 5000 tonnes of sand on the beach and built three groynes designed to keep sand in place. One groyne is right next to the pier on the eastern side and two stretch into the water from the “new” beach.

About 3000 cubic metres of sand came from excavation of the Banksia

Point multi-storey development on the beach side of Point Nepean Rd and Jetty Rd (opposite the pizza shop) and 2000 cubic metres is from a sand spit west of the stormwater drains at the western end of the beach.

The fresh sand has created a beach 170 metres long and 15 metres wide, and covers most of the sandbag wall as well as rocks and rubble from fore-shore fi lling work done in the 1970s, which had been exposed.

The beach work is connected to shire plans – known as “Project Rosebud”

– to spend $2.25 million on the Jetty Rd foreshore precinct including a pro-posed boardwalk on top of the sand-bags and stormwater pipes.

In April, Len Warfe of Port Phillip Conservation Council said there was ample evidence that groynes inter-rupted natural coastal processes. “An excellent example is at the site in ques-tion – the stormwater pipes act as a groyne, trapping sand to the west and depleting sand to the east where the sandbag wall was built in 2009. Simi-lar examples of groynes failing to per-

form as beach stabilisers exist around Port Phillip.”

Earlier that month, shire coastal planner Neil Daykin told councillors the sandbag wall was built to limit the erosion of the fi ll area as well as dis-persal of rubble material.

It had been suggested the sandbag wall and fi ll should be removed to re-store the beach to its natural state but this could cost $400,000 or more.

“This cost would vary signifi cantly if the fi ll material is found to be con-taminated or unsuitable for alternative

uses,” he told councillors.Mr Daykin was quoting from a re-

port prepared late last year by Alex At-kins, former director of infrastructure: “It may be noted that there appear to have been two eras of fi lling of the foreshore in proximity to the Rosebud pier – one with relatively clean fi ll from the construction of Mornington Peninsula Freeway and one associated with a sewerage installation program, which appears to be the source of the rubble material that continues to be a problem.”

Earlier this year the shire received two petitions from residents – one calling for the removal of the sandbag wall and fi ll (signed by 76 people) and one calling for the opposite (131 sig-natures).

The shire council backed the envi-ronment department plan to keep the sandbags and replenish the beach.

Proposed shire works to come in-clude a new play area, “public plaza and waterfront deck”, promenade, paths, fi tness stations, sprint track, and “event servicing place”.

Foreshore “protector” Jenny Warfe, who lead opposition to the Port of Melbourne’s Channel Deepening Pro-ject of 2008-09, says the shire’s plan for the precinct is “another giant waste of ratepayers’ money”.

She said it made no sense to build “hard infrastructure in an area where, to get lasting solutions, nature needs to be restored”.

“The reason there is no beach is be-cause the natural beach is buried un-der 55,000 cubic metres of fi ll dumped there in the 1970s from the freeway and trunk sewer construction.”

Cull anger: John Henshaw and his dog Izzy being fi lmed by Melbourne TV stations at the RACV resort in Cape Schanck last Friday afternoon. RACV management in Melbourne has said the cull will not occur. Picture: Yanni

THE man hired to shoot kangaroos at the RACV’s Cape Schanck golf club early last Thursday morning says he had a valid government permit.

Leigh Swan of Rosebud, a professional shooter for 30 years, was the centre of controversy on Fri-day when news of the cull hit the airwaves. He is angry his actions drew so much negative public-ity – especially on talk-back radio.

Mr Swan said he had a big male kangaroo in his sights and was considering his options when his day was abruptly brought to a premature end.

“I want to get the story correct: I’ve had about 40 emails and about 50 texts and it’s been a big day,” he told The News last Friday afternoon.

“I did not take a shot at the roos.

“When they saw me they took off. I took the clip out and put the gun down because there was a house in the background.

“I am disgusted because I have been reading so much crap about this. I’ve read that people saw me shoot [at the roos] but I did not fi re a shot.

“Safety is paramount and I do not fi re crap shots. I know the greenies don’t like it but it’s my job – and I do a lot of golf courses.

“I had been planning the cull for two days and was just trying to fi nish the job.

“I don’t want to get into the politics of this; I am distressed because people are lying about it and I have already seen my solicitor.”

Mr Swan said had been contracted by RACV

resort management and regarded the cull as just another day on the job. “I do most of the profes-sional shooting on the Mornington Peninsula,” he said.

“My aim was to take out the big male because he has fi ve females and, in the next year or so, there will be 12 or more roos.

“They will do a lot of damage and the male is a monster. I saw them sunning themselves and that’s when I wanted to get the big bugger.”

Mr Swan said he had spoken with golf course management about “our options”.

“If we don’t get rid of the big male there will be trouble in future,” he said.

Stephen Taylor

Kangaroo shooter angry at fallout

Continued from Page 1Irene Wyld, chair of Moonah Estate Own-

ers Corporation, said the incident occurred in a residential area near where “a number of us walk early in the morning”.

“Many other golf courses throughout Australia have kangaroos roaming the fairways – there is no rational reason why the RACV should be al-lowed to shoot any kangaroos on this particular golf course,” she said.

“There has not been one word of communica-tion to residents in regard to this attempted cull.”

Another resident, Phil Gleadhill, used Twitter to complain about the incident and received a reply from the organisation: “RACV alarmed to hear of Cape Schanck cull permit. Unauthorised by HQ and stopped immediately, no roos believed harmed.”

On Friday, the RACV’s southern resorts general manager, Mark Bennetts, emailed some residents: “We ... learned today that a permit had been ob-tained to cull some kangaroos at the resort. This was a total surprise to us, was not an approved activity and has been stopped immediately. We understand that no kangaroos have been killed.”

He later issued a statement to The News: “RACV can confi rm that a permit was obtained to cull six kangaroos at its Cape Schanck resort after local residents and golf playing guests reported aggressive behaviour by kangaroos in this area.

“The permit was obtained by a staff member without authorisation. As soon as RACV man-agement was advised, a directive to cease all ac-tivity was immediately issued. As far as we are aware, no kangaroos have been harmed.

“We apologise for any alarm or distress caused by this unauthorised action.”

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning reportedly confi rmed a permit was issued late last month to cull a “small number” of kangaroos at the resort.

A spokesman said the permit was granted after reports of aggressive kangaroos attacking people and dogs.

Cull called off


THE environmental health of Port Phillip and job creation are major ar-guments being used by Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils to justify a second container port being built at Hastings.

In submissions to a select committee into the lease of the Port of Melbourne the two councils have lined up with other bayside municipalities wanting to protect the bay.

The shire, Frankston and Greater Dandenong are also part of the South East Melbourne (SEMS) group of councils lobbying to expand the Port of Hastings.

At least one member of SEMS, the Shire of Bass Coast, is less enthusias-tic and wants to see economic, envi-ronmental and social impact studies before any decisions are made about building a container port at Hastings.

Landlocked Greater Dandenong - where “inland ports have been pro-posed - is concentrating solely on say-ing there should be no delays in pro-ceeding with plans to develop Western Port.

“While the current focus is on the Port of Melbourne, it would be poor policy not to start thinking ahead about what else will be needed to guarantee south-east Melbourne’s freight fu-ture,” Greater Dandenong mayor Cr Sean O’Reilly said.

His council wanted to make sure a second container port was ready to start operating as soon as the Port of Melbourne hit capacity. That meant

that planning and construction “should be timed to run seamlessly”.

“The development of a second con-tainer port at Hastings would pro-vide Melbourne’s industrial heartland across Greater Dandenong and the south-eastern suburbs with the effi -cient freight and transport services it needed to remain globally competitive, and to grow jobs,” Cr O’Reilly said.

The councils are concerned that the state government’s proposed lease of the Port of Melbourne provides for compensation if a second container port is built.

Before it was elected last November Labor also outlined plans to build a new port at Bay West, inside Port Phil-lip just north of Geelong.

Since its election Labor has said it wants Hastings increasingly used as a bulk port, for natural gas, petroleum products and, possibly, coal.

The question of just where the state’s second port should be built has been referred to the newly created Infra-structure Victoria.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer says having a compensation clause in the Port of Melbourne lease “would be

the nail in the coffi n for the proposed expansion of the Port of Hastings”.

“Frankston City currently has 15-year high unemployment of 8.3 per cent. The Andrews’ Government’s cur-rent position is very unwelcome for Frankston City and our neighbouring areas, some of which have unemploy-ment of up to 12 per cent,” Cr Mayer said.

Frankston has been promoting itself as the logical “commercial hub” for an expanded Port of Hastings.

Cr Mayer said Hastings was “the ideal” location for a container port.

She said Frankston’s submission to the select committee “highlights the need for the state government to enter into discussions about alternative op-portunities to stimulate the economy in the south east”.

“Council would also like to see a com-mitment made to the protection of Port Phillip and its natural environment.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sub-mission states that previous channel deepening had “caused demonstrable physical loss and damage to this shire and to its beaches, natural assets and economy”.

However, the shire did not offer any meaningful opposition to the 2004 channel deepening, except to say it would be opposed if there was dam-age to the environment.

Now, it is listing environmental damage as one of its main arguments against further channel deepening and dredging at The Heads.

It says it supported the channel deepening because it recognised it would “provide international competi-tiveness” of the Port of Melbourne for another 30 years.

The Port of Melbourne refuted claims that channel deepening had led to the erosion of Portsea beach.

The shire’s submission also claims “a wider loss to the shire and its econ-omy in the failure to proceed with the development of the Port of Hastings”.

The shire says the consequences of not having suffi cient container port capacity when the Port of Melbourne reaches capacity (“by mid-2020s”) will be “severe” on the economies of Victoria, Melbourne’s south east and Gippsland.

Port in waiting: The number of ships coming int the Port of Hastings hovers around 50 a year and is likely to stay that way unless it is developed as the state’s next container port. Picture: Gary Sisons

THIEVES have stolen an estimated $20,000 worth of donated goods from the Southern Peninsula Community Fund Op Shop.

At least three vehicles have been photographed making regular raids on goods left outside the shop overnight.

The thefts over the past 12 months has short-changed the long-serving Rye charity of money needed for wor-thy projects and denied needy families and customers of affordable clothing and bric-a-brac.

The shop’s management has put up posters showing registration numbers and photographs of three vehicles reg-ularly seen pillaging stock.

One couple have been stealing the lot and then returning the following night to bring back goods they did not want.

The shop’s managers believed the stolen items are sold at weekend mar-kets, online and at garage sales.

Op shop president Graham Fitzger-ald admitted the charity had been hav-ing “a disastrous time with thieves”.

“We are appealing to the public to help us catch them or stop them be-cause they are ruining business for us.

“It’s not just a few bob they are steal-ing, it’s getting to be a lot of money and that money is supposed to be going

back into the community.”It is believed the thieves usually ar-

rive at the shop at about 7pm, when a vehicle parked out the back would not arouse suspicion.

One lot of thieves wear torches on their caps to make it easier to rummage through the donated clothing.

The shop - affi liated with the South-ern Peninsula Community Fund - has a history of solid fundraising, including donating more than $500,000 to the Rosebud hospital for its CT scanner.

Upgraded security measures, includ-ing CCTV cameras, have been margin-ally successful.

“We put up the cameras when they were getting out of control, but they lasted only two nights before someone snipped the wires,” Mr Fitzgerald said.

A camera designed to operate with-out wires was provided by Rosebud police but it lasted just three days be-fore being vandalised.

“We have a big bin where we prefer people to deposit donated goods, but it is easier for people to drive around the back and that makes it easier for the thieves,” Mr Fitzgerald said.

“If we put a big padlock on the gate maybe the thieves would distribute all the stock around the car park. And, when we’ve got generous volunteers putting in their time, yet their fi rst job is cleaning up the mess with the eyes picked out of everything, it’s upset-

ting.”Mr Fitzgerald said a volunteer had

found a woman in her 60s on the ground beside her trailer after appar-ently falling while stealing donations about.

“The volunteer helped her to her feet and took down her car’s registra-tion number before she drove off,” Mr Fitzgerald said.

“We have discussed all our options with the police, such as putting notices up for customers to please drop of their goods during business hours, but so far we are up against it.”

Leading Senior Constable Scott Hanley, of Sorrento police, admitted being hampered by grey areas in the law. “At what point does ownership of the stock transfer over?” he asked. “It’s a tough one.”

“They need a gate or a chute where people can slide their donations, to keep it away from thieves.

“We patrol there regularly and, if we catch anyone stealing, they will be charged with theft and trespass if they are found on op shop property.”

The suspect cars are a white 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara, a fawn 1999 Mit-subishi Magna and a black 2003 Re-nault Convertible.

Anyone with information can call Leading Senior Constable Hanley on 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

IN a show of peace that refl ects a main tenet of the Ahmadiyyan Islamic sect, the leader of a mosque in Langwarrin has shared a meal with the father of a young man who allegedly attacked members of his congregation.

A 61-year-old man was admitted to hospital with a broken nose and other injuries after being attacked by three men who are believed to have jumped a fence to gain entry to the Bait-ul-Salam Mosque in Leisureland Drive.

Police are believed to have identifi ed and spoken with the three alleged intruders who were described by witnesses as being aged in their early 20s, Cauca-sian and wearing hooded jumpers.

No charges have been laid at this stage and the leader of the mosque, Imam Syed Wadood Janud, has said he does not want retribution.

Instead, he would rather the intruders and their families and friends go to the mosque for a barbecue.

Senior Sergeant Miro Majftorovic, of Frankston CIU, said police are “working closely” with Imam Janud.

”It’s an educational process and the suspects are young, but the course of justice has to be worked through,” Senior Sergeant Majftorovic said.

The assaults at about 9pm on Friday 4 September were the latest in a series of offences against the mosque over the past two years.

In other incidents, bottles have been thrown and worshippers abused by intruders in the grounds of the mosque and sensors have been damaged on the electronic gates.

“If they ring the bell we can let them in,” mosque spokesman Aziz Bhatti said.

Mr Bhatti said Imam Janud had had lunch on Mon-day 14 September with the father of one of the three men allegedly involved in the latest attack at the mosque. Two police and the three victims had been among the 10 or 12 people at the lunch.

He said the victims had also said they did not want charges laid against their attackers but realised this would be a decision made by police.

“The police have called the families [of the alleged attackers] and have told us it should be seriously in-vestigated,” Mr Bhatti said.

“If the father and police agree, we’d like to have a barbecue or an event of some sort of event if they want to come back again.”

The mosque is the Victorian headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, an Islamic move-ment whose members are persecuted by Muslims in some other countries, particularly Pakistan.

Following the latest incident Imam Janud said he believed three men who abused and assaulted mem-bers of the group had “probably been here before”.

“[Racism has] been an ongoing issue and we have had people come in four times in the past three months,” Imam Janud said.

“But this is the fi rst time they have confronted and assaulted our members physically and that’s why the police became involved.”

Iman Janud said a man in his 20s entered the Mus-lim community centre about 9pm and began “racial-ly abusing and using indecent language and cursing” its members.

“He was asked to leave and our members followed him out but there they were met by two others and the trouble began.”

Mosque leader’s peace offering to attackers

Numbers are up: The Southern Peninsula Community Fund Op Shop has made up posters of vehicles it believes can help police inquiries into thefts of donated goods. The posters are being displayed in the Point Nepean Rd, Rye, shop. Although police can track the vehicle owners, they are hampered by a grey area of the law relating to the transfer of ownership of the goods.

THE summit picnic area atop Arthurs Seat and the car park at the bottom will be closed for about 15 months during the construction of the gondola ride, Parks Victoria stated last week.

Parks Victoria regional director Chris Hardman said “works to build Melbourne’s newest major tourism attraction” would start in the week be-ginning Monday 5 October when fences would be erected around the construction site after the spring school holidays.

“The picnic area alongside Purves and Arthurs Seat roads will be fenced off for the duration of the construction period,” he said.

“Safety fencing is there to protect contractor works and ensure visitor safety during the build, which is our top priority.”

Visitors could picnic at “the expansive and se-cluded Seawinds Gardens, just a short 600 metres walk from the summit picnic area”.

“Seawinds Gardens offers stunning sea views and is often visited by kangaroos.”

Mr Hardman said picnic and barbecue facilities would remain available at the main picnic area to the north (Port Phillip side) of Arthurs Seat Rd, where public toilets, playground and picnic shel-ter are located.

“The project provides $16 million in private investment and $1.5 million in public facility im-provements in the park, and will create jobs dur-

ing construction and through the tourism industry for the term of the lease,” he said.

“I look forward to sharing the magnifi cent views of Port Phillip that are available from Ar-thurs Seat with park visitors when the gondola opens late next year.

“During the works, a number of special ar-rangements have been made to keep the park open to visitors.

“Building an exciting tourism attraction for the Mornington Peninsula will create some tempo-rary visitor inconvenience during the works pe-riod.

“Parks Victoria is working closely with the les-see, Arthurs Seat Skylift Pty Ltd, and Mornington Peninsula Shire to keep the park open to visitors and curious onlookers during the works. We apol-ogise for the inconvenience.

“At times during the construction period, pub-lic car parking areas are expected to be busy with contractor vehicles. We remain committed to maintaining as much public car parking in the park as possible.

“The lower car park at the base of Arthurs Seat will be closed throughout the construction period to allow Parks Victoria and Skylift to establish a safe work compound and construct the new gon-dola lower station and public facilities.”

Arthurs Seat areas closed for 15 months

Shire on world stageMornington Peninsula Shire is being urged to back East Timor’s gas fi eld claims (The News 15/9/15).

In 2009 the shire also sent two councillors to the Copenhagen, Denmark, climate change conference.

I think it should warn Russia to get out of Ukraine, broker a settlement between China and Japan over the disputed islands and demand a seat at the United Nations.

However, Cr Tim Rodgers is factually correct. I remember how disgusted I was when Labor minister Gareth Evans signed up a deal to ef-fectively steal the gas fi elds in East Timorese waters by altering the seabed boundaries, thus ensuring billions of dollars to balance the Aus-tralian budget and ensuring absolute poverty to continue for a tiny, ravaged, defenceless, help-less little country with negligible income.

A change of government here has not changed this crime.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Time to disconnectI note the letters from Peter Strickland, Balnar-ring (“Right to object”, 8/9/15) and Peter Holt, Somerville (“Climate for fi res”) objecting to approvals granted by the Environment Minis-ter Greg Hunt for the Carmichael coal mine in Queensland. Clearly they want the poor in India to stay in the dark, without electricity to provide the opportunity for economic development to try and achieve the level of material benefi ts that they enjoyed.

I assume that they have disconnected them-selves from the grid and are using only solar and wind power to power their internet (and elec-tronic communication), heating, television and heating and cooking, but only during daylight hours or when the wind blows.

They can sit in a privileged position and pon-tifi cate to deny the poor of India the potential right to a future with energy and electricity which could mean economic progress and wel-fare, as they certainly enjoy.

If, as Peter Strickland says, climate change is the responsibility of every human. He is being hypocritical if he has not totally disconnected himself from the Victorian electricity grid. Simi-larly Peter Holt.

Alan Reid, Sorrento

Acid threat to oxygenOcean acidifi cation due to rising levels of atmos-pheric carbon threatens not only the visible plant species but microscopic phytoplankton (some 0.002mm to 1mm) which produce more oxygen than all land plants. They are vital to maintain the earth’s atmosphere.

We know that the very fact of exposing coal, let alone burning it, creates atmospheric acid which is harmful to sea life and can kill it. Phytoplankton, the small single celled organisms that live in the sea provide the very thing we need to breathe – oxygen.

We would be just as guilty as the politicians who are promoting the mining and export of coal, as well as destroying the oceans by dredging, if we do not do everything possible to prevent the oceans from acidifi cation and the de-struction of organisms on which the very breath of life depends.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Canning assessedAs an undecided swinging Canning voter, I attended last Thursday’s peoples’ forum to meet the candidates.

I was very impressed with the Greens candi-date Vanessa Rauland. She is highly intelligent, compassionate and very well qualifi ed having a PhD, Master of Science and a BA.

I found the LNP candidate to be a clone of Tony Abbott. Slick and aggressive and all about bombing Syria and home security. He ignored the fact that more bombing will create more refugees and he did not explain how his ambi-tious plan to tackle ice can be funded. Especially now that our hospitals, schools and police have suffered from Abbott cut backs with more to come.

The ALP candidate was very calm and meas-ured.

Terry O’Shea, Halls Head, Western Australia.

Letters to the editor can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: [email protected]. Letters should be kept to a maximum 300 words and include name, address and contact phone number for verifi cation purposes.

Taxing callerA MT ELIZA woman says she was “nearly hooked” by a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Australian Taxation Offi ce.

Kate Hardy said the credible female caller – who knew her name and phone number – called last Thursday saying she owed $4789 and had “better pay promptly to avoid jail”.

The woman even used the word “criminal” in the conversation to emphasise the seriousness of the supposed taxation breach.

“She was very believable, even though she did not speak English well,” Ms Hardy said.

Police referred The News to Scamwatch and the ACCC as well as the police site Acorn.com.au which refers to tactics to combat e-crimes.

By David Harrison

GREAT sheets of silent lightning fl ashed over the Rip as Council Watch headed for the Rose-bud meeting, listening in the car to excited radio speculation on who would be prime minister after this night. CW wondered what the Boon Wurrung (or indeed the Bunurong) made of dramatic celestial pyrotechnics back in the Dreamtime. They had not heard of Canberra.

The restless sky portended rain. The restless radio appeared to be hoping for a warm change in Canberra, where the boxer and the banker were contesting Round 2 in their drawn-out bout for supremacy. CW recalled Simon & Garfun-kel’s The Boxer: “After changes upon changes we are more or less the same.”

Inside the predominantly tory council chamber, the atmosphere was fl at, preoccupied, thoughts probably wandering north to the politi-cal stoush. Two councillors, David Gibb and the mayor Bev Colomb, were apologies. Lynn Bowden remained on leave of absence.

Deputy mayor Graham Pittock was in the chair, brisk and businesslike. CW wondered how he votes. Anne Shaw and Andrew “Billy” Dixon have tory links and Cr Bowden’s spouse is a retired Liberal MP, but the chamber sees little evidence of party line voting. Several council-lors studied their iPads intently, possibly await-ing political news.

The national capital’s name is generally regarded as aboriginal-derived, from “cobbrra” or derivations “kabura” or “kabera”, meaning great corroboree meeting ground. Emphasis on the fi rst syllable. The settlement was originally named Canbery. A rather unprophetic tombstone marking an 1845 death states: “For here we have no continuing city, but seek one to come.” The

Storm before calm as Canberra boxes on

city without a heart fl ourishes despite this.But CW digresses. The council meeting re-

corded the passing of John M Morgan, pharma-cist and 1970s councillor of Mornington Shire, aged 78. Then followed a single question, on possible leachate from Rye tip damaging the Tootgarook wetlands. Assurance was given that this was highly unlikely, but that an old landfi ll closer to the wetlands was being monitored as the Environment Protection Authority requires.

East Timor was in the agenda and was also subject of a notice of motion on seabed bounda-ries, as reported in The News (“Shire urged to back East Timor’s gas fi eld claim”, 15/9/15). The shire’s Friends of Lospalos group, now 15 years old, advanced a step last December with the signing of a municipal agreement formally linking the Mornington Peninsula with Timor Leste’s Lautem municipality, in which the Lo-spalos sub-district is located.

The motion, moved by Friends group chair-man Cr Tim Rodgers, was carried, with a couple of abstentions. It calls on the federal government to start negotiations on establishing perma-nent seabed boundaries that would provide the impoverished fl edgling country with a revenue share from offshore oil and gas fi elds.

Cr Tim Wood pointed out that Australia was acting properly in its approach to these fi elds, the Greater Sunrise and Laminaria Corallina.

SPRUCE UP FOR

SPRINGNEWS DESK

Continued from Page 14Cr Rodgers said East Timor was 45 minutes’

fl ight from Darwin. The Koreans and Chinese were more active there than is Australia, he said.

Ditto the “four-step context analysis and design response guide”, aimed to “assist pro-spective planning permit applicants and design consultants” to achieve better results “and hence contribute to the quality of the built environment on the Mornington Peninsula”. CW remains sceptical, having seen monstrosities rise on hills and valleys around the peninsula.

Municipal waste, also on the next agenda, usu-ally raises temperatures in the chamber but this evening a profound change was approved with-out a single raised voice. Councillors decided to close the shire’s last tip, the odiferous Rye Landfi ll in Truemans Rd, and seek a site outside the peninsula to take the kerbside waste.

Shire policy for years was to keep shire rub-bish in the shire. That changed when it became part of the metropolitan waste management program and the EPA refused to allow the old Pioneer quarry on Arthurs Seat to become a rubbish tip.

Oh, and not to forget the proposed RACV behemoth, high as a seven-storey building, about to loom over the Cape Schanck settlement.

What VCAT orders, the shire must cop. Blessed be the name of VCAT, and the folk who render their judgements on our neighbourhoods. Red gondolas? Splendid! Blue gondolas? Even more magnifi cent! A great contribution to the natural beauty of Arthurs Seat, to be sure.

The Hastings plan for High St and local laneways prompted discussion on traffi c speed – no provision for fast cyclists and a ring road speed of 40kph in the interests of pedestrians, mobility scooters and children – and passed, with a dissenting vote from Cr Pittock.

The Tootgarook wetland, rightly a favourite of councillors, has had imposed on part of it an environmental signifi cance overlay, with two land parcels, part of the Boneo Equestrian Cen-

tre, excluded, effectively for reasons of mapping diffi culties.

In the same agenda item a small area of Bittern was proposed to be protected by an overlay, to create a graduated density zone on the outskirts of the village. Councillors were told a deci-sion that night would protect the area until a ministerial ruling was made, by designating it “a seriously entertained proposal”. In the intricacies of planning, CW is a babe in the woods, but he thinks that was the gist of the explanation.

“There are some greedy developers out there,” the meeting was told.

A series of items on land subdivisions, tennis courts and waste monitoring whizzed through on the “moved, seconded, carried” basis. Then came the notice of motion on fl ood maps – a show-stopper which, councillors were told by governance manager Joe Spiteri, would have no effect even if councillors passed it, since the maps already had ministerial approval.

Cr Tim Rodgers had proposed suspending use of the maps as they were causing great diffi culties for builders – as reported in The News (“Flood maps blamed for $2m work loss”, 15/9/15) – as well as what were described as inaccurate as well as involving tedious bureau-cratic requirements and unnecessary costs.

Municipal building surveyor David Kotsiakos was not present to help with the map problems, which deeply disappointed Cr Rodgers. Cr Anne Shaw came to the rescue, suggesting replacing the words “council suspend” use of the maps to “council require a report … on 12 October” regarding the maps.

Problem neatly solved, and probably a nice problem created for Mr Kotsiakos.

The fi nal agenda item was so confi dential mere ratepayers could not even be told its subject. So, back into the lowering night, to await the result of our national leadership bout. Like a chess move, an Abbott fell to a Turnbull. Checkmate?

FAR removed from the the hectic pace of city life, this retro classic is only 500 metres from the beach, shops and cafes along Point Nepean Road. The bay glimpses make a nice backdrop to the bright open plan living zone which includes a combined lounge and dining area that adjoins a neat kitchen. Three good sized bedrooms all have built in robes and share the trendy tiled bathroom, plus there are two toilets and a separate laundry. From the street there is a single garage, and the corner block has plenty of extra parking space on the grounds for a boat or caravan.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

List of killed and wounded risingList of killed and wounded risingCompiled by Melissa Walsh

“A Spring Poet” forwards us a poeti-cal effusion entitled the “Stay at Home Soldier,” but as he has omitted to en-close his authenticated name and ad-dress we must decline to publish same.

***IN our report of the send-off to Somer-ville volunteers in the third page, the names of Privates A. Conningsby and E. Mead were inadvertently omitted as amongst those who were farewelled.

***TROOPER W. G. Connal of Frankston, late of Malvern, who left Melbourne last Oct, with the 4th Light Horse Regt. 1st A.I.E.F. and was in-valided home by the hospital ship “Kyarra” in July, after an operation for appendicitis, took his discharge on Monday last, and immediately enlist-ed. He goes into camp at Broadmead-ows on Monday next. 27th inst.

***THE anniversary of the Frankston Christian Endeavor Society was held in the Methodist Church on Thursday evening last, when there was a good attendance, including visitors from kindred societies on the Peninsula. Rev R. Jackson occupied the chair, and excellent addresses were deliv-ered by Mr W. J. Northey and Rev. P. Parnaby. At the close if the proceed-ings the visitors were provided with refreshments in the schoolroom.

***THE news that Mr. A. H. Gregory, of Frankston, was suddenly taken ill at the end of last week was received with

sincere regret by his many friends. As his condition did not improve, Dr Worniski was called in for consulta-tion with Dr Maxwell, and his re-moval to Miss Cadle’s private hospital was determined upon on Wednesday morning. During that day and Thursday his condition was very critical, but we are pleased to state that by the latest reports, the patient has very much im-proved, and his recovery is now a mat-ter of time.

***THE following apology has been re-ceived from Sir John Madden by Dr. Plowman, honorary secretary to the recent fourth presentation to Frankston volunteers, in reply to an invitation to be present, under date September 11 :—” I am very sorry that it will not be possible for me to be present at the presentation ceremony at Frankston on the 20th inst. I shall be on my way to Shepparton on that evening to hold the Assize Court at that town. It would have been a very real plea-sure to have bidden good bye to our gallant Frankston soldiers and to have joined in the hearty cheer which their friends will raise in their honor. How-ever, I wish them a great part in the Empire’s victory and a safe and happy return to their friends and homes.”

***THE commonwealth statistician, Mr G. H. Knibbs, has already ascertained that certain persons have not yet sent in personal cards, and in one case a material fact has been misstated. Un-til the alphabetical register has been

compiled, prosecutions can of course be undertaken only in cases coming specially under notice. All persons who have either not sent in cards, or who having sent them in have made any misstatement, are ad-vised to send in, at once, a properly fi lled in personal card with an expla-nation of the delay or of the error, as the case may be. Those who fail can-not be excused. Any amended return sent in should be distinctly marked “Amended Return.”

***THE list of killed and wounded of the Peninsula lads is increasing, week by week. Amongst the killed is Private W. Hartland, brother of Captain Hartland, who was killed a few weeks ago. Mr and Mrs Hartland have thus been be-reaved of both their sons, and the sin-cerest sympathy of their many friends is extended to them. Sergeant Arch Ashmore is also amongst the killed. He was a great favorite in Frankston, having been a regular visitor for years, and a promi-nent member of the football club. News has also been received that Driver H. Dial, Corporal Cyril Rich-ardson, Privates Vagg, (2nd occasion) and Ray Dawborn (2nd occasion) have been wounded, and Private Twy-ford, of Somerville, missing.

***WAR and Woman’s Dress. Has the war affected woman’s dress? This is a question that will interest all our women readers, and it will be fully answered in the pages of “Everylady’s Journal” for September. This is the

semi-annual fashion number, and con-tains over fi fty new spring and sum-mer pattern designs, exclusive of the four selected paper patterns which are given free with the magazine. One noticeable effect of the war is that there has been an increased de-mand for up-to-date and reliable paper patterns. “Everylady’s Journal”—al-ways a live and up to-date periodi-cal—offers any of our readers, free of cost, a summer pattern catalogue of 250 designs. The coupon in Septem-ber issue should be used to secure the catalogue. While this care for fashions of the day is a particularly strong feature in “Everylady’s Journal” there are other conspicuous items. For instance, an expert in poultry tells how the world’s records in egg-laying were recently broken, and gives instructions so that the house holder may secure the same result. Amongst the interviews is a capital talk with the Queen of England by Mary Roberts Rinehart, who is also the writer of the serial story “K.’ The practical is again uppermost in a beautifully illustrated article on the making of fl oor mats in rafi a. Read-ers are reminded that the War Puzzle Competition, with £100 in cash and 121 other prizes, is still open, and may be entered at once. If any reader is un-able to obtain “Everylady’s Journal” locally, she can secure it by post for 6 months by sending 3s in stamps or postal note to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston St Melbourne.

***

THE social held on Friday evening last in aid of the Red Cross Fund was a decided success. The hall was again beautifully decorated by the commit-tee, and was well fi lled with patrons. Songs were rendered in fi ne style by Miss L. Conly, of Fairfi eld, and were very much appreciated by those pres-ent. Mr A. Diggerson provided tip-top music and dancing was kept going till 1.30 a.m.

***THE annual meeting of the Tyabb Cricket Club will be held on Thurs-day evening next. The meeting is an important one, as owing to the pres-ent unsettled state of affairs it is hardly known whether or not the cricket sea-son will be carried on as usual.

***AT the monthly meeting of the Fruit-growers’ Association held on Thurs-day last, Mr A E. Benton, ex-vice president of the Society, was made re-cipient of a very handsome presenta-tion on the occasion of his marriage, in the shape of a silver and glass break-fast cruet and biscuit barrel.

***RECRUITS WANTED. Every man physically fi t is wanted for enlist-ment. Age—18 to 45 years. Mini-mum height—5 feet 2 inches. Chest measurement—33 inches. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot, where ar-rangements will be made for medical examination.From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 September, 1915

By Stuart McCulloughI’M sorry. Truly. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I’d be the source of such heart-felt angst and misery. It was not my intention. The mere knowledge that I have caused such gut-churning anguish is some-thing over which I am truly remorse-ful and more than a little embarrassed. It was never meant to turn out this way. I was simply driving along the river towards work. Then I saw you, helmet on, pedalling your heart out. You were doing such a wonderful job. Who could have known that soon you would be shaking your fi st at the heav-ens because of me?

Let me say that in terms of provok-ing another person to the point they’re willing to shake a clenched fi st: it’s been a while. Truth be told, I’m unac-customed to provoking so fervent a re-action from pretty much anyone, with the possible exception of members of my immediate family. Beyond just an angry glance or raised eyebrow, you held your furious fi st aloft. It is, per-haps, little comfort to learn that the whole catastrophe was an accident. I should have said as much at the time but feared stopping to explain might (of itself) be interpreted as an act of aggression.

In my defence, it had been raining. For this, I cannot reasonably be held responsible. The heavens themselves conspired to create the perfect condi-tions for the profound misunderstand-ing that followed. Perhaps that’s why you shook your fi st in the air – you weren’t angry with me at all but at the skies themselves for pouring forth their glorious bounty and ensuring an

ordinary road should be replete with hundreds of tiny reservoirs of water. These pools of liquid are the inevita-ble result of rain. As I drove, I thought very little of them.

It is, I feel, at least partly your fault.

Your bike was not so much running along the edge of the road as riding right up the middle. This is in spite of the fact that there is a separate bike path just a couple of metres over. Re-gardless of your decision to shun per-

fectly good bicycle infrastructure the powers that be had seen fi t to grant you, the fact that you had decided to hog most of the road wasn’t really a problem. There was nothing in the way of on-coming traffi c and plenty of room to get around. As I always do, I made sure I left a wide berth to ensure that you would feel safe at all times. Not only do I consider this appropriate but also an act of friendship towards a fellow citizen who has decided to do the planet and everyone on it a fa-vour and forsake motorised transport in favour of a bike. Leaving an overly generous margin between our respec-tive modes of transport is the least I can do. It was as I overtook that the unthinkable manifested itself in one supremely ugly second.

Let me say right now that you were doing an excellent job. Backside raised and pointed skywards, trou-ser hams pumping like pistons, face fl ushed with exertion; you steamed along the boulevard like a man pos-sessed. As my car pulled up alongside, I could see the determined grimace on your face. I wanted to wave. Show you my support for your athletic en-deavours. I wanted to do anything that would let you know that your supreme effort had been duly noted and, for what it was worth, there was at least one person on this big round earth that was impressed. Fact is, I was so busy being impressed that I failed to notice the large pool of water that had con-gregated on the roadway.

Without warning, my front left tyre sank down into a concealed pothole, displacing a large body of liquid and sending it in the form of a miniature

tidal wave over you. An instant earlier, you had been completely dry. Now you were entirely drenched. I had, it seems, quite literally poured a bucket over whatever hopes and aspirations you might have had to go about your morning whilst remaining relatively arid. It is little short of a miracle that you managed to remain upright under the circumstances.

Of course I was horrifi ed. I had no intention whatsoever in giving some stranger a complete drenching. And I could not help but notice as I glanced up at my rear view mirror that you as my unwitting victim were not just wet, you were angry. Very, very angry. You shouted. Your face, which had been ripe with exhaustion, was now molten with rage. You raised your fi st high into the air and shook it with fury. Railing against me and my pothole-squashing, cyclist-soaking proclivi-ties, you expressed your displeasure in the clearest terms possible. I simply want you to know this – message re-ceived, loud and clear.

I don’t know where you were head-ing that day. Maybe you were meet-ing some friends for coffee at a local café. They too will have ridden their bikes and would have been decked out in various forms of lycra. Doubt-less, you would have regaled them with tales of an unthinking driver who cast water all over you. They will have been aghast before consoling you over a decaf latte and a muffi n (possibly). Perhaps you might be kind enough to let the gang know that I am truly sorry and that there is little risk of a repeat offence. Happy cycling. Yours truly…

Music Arts Food

The haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate but Def Leppard are due more credit in rock and roll’s history books than critics generally give them. Taylor Swift certainly thinks so.

The biggest pop star in the world right now performed with Def Leppard in 2008 as part of a US series called Crossroads that paired modern musicians together with their idols from yesteryear.

Swift reckoned that singing the likes of the hit song Photograph with the band was “my child-hood dream come true”.

“My mom was a huge fan of theirs when she was pregnant with me,” she said at the time. “So growing up, the music that was playing in my house was Def Leppard. It was music that she liked that I could like too.”

Def Leppard sold more than 100 million albums in the 1980s and 1990s – mostly thanks to the Pyromania (1983), Hysteria (1987) and Adrenalize (1992) trio of albums and hits such as Pour Some Sugar On Me, Love Bites and Let’s Get Rocked - but there is a feeling the rockers, despite Swift’s praise, have been unfairly tarred with the same brush as certain fl ash-in-the-pan ‘hair metal’ bands of the era who quickly rose and fell just before grunge conquered the music world in the mid-90s.

There have been tragedies for Def Leppard among the glory days along the way – guitar-ist Steve Clark died of a prescription drugs and alcohol overdose in 1991 and drummer Rick Allen lost an arm after a car crash on New Year’s Eve in 1984 – but the core of the band including Elliott, bass player Rick Savage, guitarist Phil Collen, drummer Allen and ‘new-comer’ Vivian Campbell, who joined in 1992 to succeed Clark as guitarist stand strong today.

MINT spoke to Def Leppard frontman Joe El-liott on the eve of the band’s latest Australian tour and asked whether he resented the band being (h)airbrushed from rock history by some sections of the music press, most notably the weekly UK mags such as NME.

Elliott, on the road and calling from India-

napolis in the midst of a US tour of stadiums, sounded like he and his bandmates had the last laugh as he recalled the band’s critical reception in some quarters despite their global success.

“There’s an elitism within the media and from certain artists,” he said in a distinctive Shef-fi eld born burr.

“We used to joke about it. We used to imagine some guy walking onto the open plan fl oor of Rolling Stone magazine’s offi ce wearing a Def Leppard T-shirt and being asked ‘what the hell are you doing?’ while they’re all wearing their Loudon Wainwright, Lou Reed, REM, Springs-teen T-shirts.

“We are one of those bands that certain parts of the media just love to tear to pieces because they see us as these dinosaurs.

“We never got the credit for rewiring the way rock and roll was recorded in the 80s. When we put out Pyromania and Hysteria people hadn’t put out records that sounded like that before, because the material wasn’t like Mor-rissey or Psychedelic Furs style.”

Elliott believes some in the music press can hold a grudge if a band becomes big without its backing or permission.

“When you’re massive with the public but not big with the press it really gets up their nose.

“People in the press wouldn’t admit to liking Meat Loaf in the press or Bon Jovi or Taylor Swift ... but these are the very artists who will sell stadiums out,” he said.

“That’s not coming from a sense of bitterness. I couldn’t give a f*** what the press think. The fact is we’ve got an audience and that’s what important.”

The band are still playing the big venues, a testament to their longevity with old and new fans alike, and Elliott also credited this with Def Leppard’s enthusiasm for still playing their biggest hits in the live arena.

“Any band that’s been around as long as we have – bands like The Who and The Rolling Stones – are going to play stuff people know.

It’s part of what we do.

“There is a core element of certain songs you know that if you don’t play you won’t get out of the building alive. They’re the songs that put you in those buildings so you can’t deny them.”

Australian fans are in for something different from the current US tour though with the band releasing their fi rst album of new material since 2008 in the form of a self-titled Def Lep-pard album next month.

“‘This is a track from our new album’ are the most dreaded words a singer will ever say,” Elliott joked.

“But also they’re the most important because as long as you’re saying it you’re still doing something current. You have to keep making new music whether the rest of the world think it’s important or not.

“Let’s not turn every act that goes out live into a nostalgia act.”

He assured old school Def Leppard fans that they will hear all of the band’s best-known songs though.

“I don’t buy into that ‘these are the songs that made us popular but we’re not going to play them’.”

Unlike so many of their 80s and 90s peers, Def Leppard have also refused to go down the break up/reunion/repeat route to sell tickets for live gigs.

“Yeah, there are certain bands that do that. I mean, god bless ‘em but The Scorpions have been doing a farewell tour now for about six years, The Eagles have been doing one for about 20 and I think Cher’s being doing one since the 1980s,” Elliott said.

“As unsexy as it sounds, we get on really well. There’s no agenda, there’s no big drama in the Def Leppard camp. We have our moments where we don’t see eye to eye on certain things but we’re man enough to stand up and talk about it, nip it in the bud before it be-comes a volcanic eruption, and get on with it.”

This reluctance to engage in showbiz di-

vaesque behaviour could be traced back to the bands roots in working class Sheffi eld. The singer says the band members were “very aware of the opportunity” afforded them by their hard-working parents’ encouragement in allowing them to pursue their rock and roll dreams.

“We didn’t fear failure but maybe not being able to do it at any kind of level. None of us wanted to go back to the regular life,” he said.

“I’d rather play the [Glasgow] Barrowlands than work on a building site.”

The working class worth ethic saw Def Leppard push on and become one of the biggest bands on the planet at the height of their career in the 80s and 90s and Elliott looks back on it with some fondness but also thankfulness for the present.

“There was times when we literally were out-selling everybody on the planet,” he noted.

“Back in the day, standing toe-to-toe with everyone from Bono to Springsteen was great but we’re not exactly down in the bowling al-leys now.

“No-one even bothers looking at the charts anymore but we’re still playing to 20,000 people in Dallas, for example, so it’s not like we’re not still one of the biggest bands in the world it’s just we’re one of the biggest touring bands in the world, if you like.

“In many respects, it’s been and gone and come back and that’s because of the hard work we’ve put in and we do have a legacy and we do have a massive collection of hit singles and well-known songs.

“Our standing with the audience has never really dropped and our standing within the business is rising again.”

Def Leppard play Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on Wednesday 18 November with guests Live and Electric Mary. See premier.ticketek.com.au online or call 13 28 49 for tickets including VIP tour packages and backstage passes to meet the band.

Jimmy Rees - A life worth giggling aboutJimmy Rees - A life worth giggling aboutBy Melissa McCulloughTWENTY-eight-year-old jimmy rees has been lulling our children to sleep during the “goodnight hour” since 2009. Now it’s time for him to apply all of his techniques at home with new son, Lenny. Mornington Peninsula Kids sat down to chat with Jimmy about being a new dad and how a kid from Mt Eliza ended up becom-ing a superstar to pre-schoolers and parents alike.

“I was doing amateur theatre in Frankston and knew I just wanted to get into the industry at some point. I enjoy making people laugh and enter-taining people. I don’t see myself as an actor per se. I’m good at playing a silly character like Jimmy Giggle.”

Jimmy hadn’t looked into getting an agent to organise auditions when then girlfriend, Tori, saw the advertisement for a national call in the paper. There were 5,500 entrants and this was Jimmy’s fi rst audition.

He tells us, “I got the phone call with the offer for the role in new pre-school show Giggle and Hoot while I was working at the local pub. I ran upstairs into the offi ce to take the call. The producer asked if I could sing and asked for a sample of my vocals on the spot.” As the front runner for the part, staff on the set started refer-ring to the actor as Jimmy Giggle…and it stuck. He was casted in Octo-ber and on air in December. “It was sort of like in a big whirlwind. There was quite a learning curve.” So off to Sydney Jimmy and Tori went. But the move didn’t last long. They returned to Melbourne after a few months and Jimmy commuted.

Little did he know how popular the lovable characters Giggle and Hoot would become. “My fi rst realisation of how well it was going was when a little signing and meet and greet was organised at Eastland. I went out there in my pyjamas and there were literally hundreds of families lined up. It was a wow moment. OK – this is popular.”

After getting used to the routine of working Wednesday through Friday, Jimmy and Tori tried for a second time to move to Sydney. It didn’t last long. Tori fell pregnant and the now married couple thought they’d better come back down.

The Mornington Peninsula is defi nitely home for Jimmy Rees. He grew up in Mt Eliza and attended St Thomas Moore Primary School and then The Peninsula School. Tori taught at Benton’s Junior College for a year before moving to Sydney. She loved teaching, but for now, is relish-ing being a stay at home mum.

FatherhoodIt was a crazy time in the lead up to

Baby Rees’ arrival on April 7th. The Giggle and Hoot tour was beginning in April and little Lenny was due to arrive in late April.

They had to wait 12 weeks to an-nounce the birth of baby Lenny to due to agreements with a magazine and Jimmy’s fans were growing quite concerned. “Even if I mentioned we

had a tour coming up people would respond with, ‘when’s the baby com-ing, is everything ok?’”

Once they were able to offi cially announce the arrival of Lenny they received great support from plenty of social media groups such as Morning-ton Peninsula Kids that were happy to share the photos and good news.

Jimmy remembers the birth go-ing well. Tori and Lenny were safe and happy and then all of a sudden thought, “I’m a dad! I’ve got to keep him alive!”

While mum does take care of most of what Lenny needs Jimmy is the en-tertainer. He’s happy to pitch in with feedings and whatever else he can do whenever he can.

“It’s so amazing. He’s only four

months old and the growth is ex-ponential. Smiling, then winking, and frustrated because he can’t do something.”

On the topic of sleeping, Jimmy tells us that Lenny has been a dream-boat from pretty much as soon as they got home from the hospital. (Jealous much?) He’s now practically sleeping all the way through; waking up once around midnight for a feed and then back to sleep until around seven. His day sleeps aren’t that great, but he’s coming along.

When asked about the all impor-tant support system Jimmy tells us, “All of our families live around here within a few postcodes. That’s another reason we came back from Sydney, at least for our fi rst. We still

haven’t utilised any of our babysitting offers yet, though.”

The family is all set up in their home base down here. Travelling up and back three days a week to work usually, but sometimes getting an extra break here and there while other times, especially when touring, there’s a bit more hands on time. “This time, which is great, we’re coming to Frankston, Geelong and Tassie, so a bit more regional.”

“It’s such a crazy and amazing time.”

The Giggle and Hoot tour kicks off in October and visits Frankston on October 10th. For tickets go to: thefac.com.au

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt ROSEBUD came from 14 points down early in the last quarter to win the 2015 Nepean League premiership by 20 points on Saturday.

After the Eagles scooted away to their biggest lead of the afternoon, care of a Justin Allsop snap in the opening fi ve minutes of the last quar-ter, Rosebud then dominated the next 30 minutes of the match to run out 13.14 (92) to 10.12 (72) winners.

In a see-sawing battle that saw momentum swing many times during the afternoon, Rosebud refused to be beaten in the fi nal term and its leaders stood up.

While the Eagles appeared to be trying to shut the game down after skipping to the 14 point lead, the Buds were looking at ways to score goals and get themselves back into the match.

Skipper Ryan Spooner led the charge. He willed his side across the line and brought every team mate along with him.

The premiers had a whopping 23 inside 50 metre entries in the last quarter, compared to just fi ve for the Eagles. Rosebud completely dominated.

Jason Bristow, who was the best player on the ground with 34 posses-sions, including 11 in the last quarter, fi ttingly kicked the sealer with his fi rst goal of the match.

Keegan Downie was absolutely superb and just shaded for best on ground honours. The 19-year-old was a wonderful target in attack, booting three goals and also spent some time in defence in the second quarter when Somerville got on top.

Rosebud started in sensational fashion, working its way back into the contest after Somerville dominated the fi rst 10 minutes and booted the opening two goals of the game.

Rosebud booted six of the next seven goals in the opening quarter to waltz into the quarter time huddle with a 19 point lead. Rob Forrest was magnifi cent early, having seven fi rst quarter posses-sions and booting two goals.

Greg Bentley, who fi nished with 18 touches, had six of those in the fi rst quarter and Bristow also had eight possessions in the opening stanza.

However, Somerville gained the ascendancy in the following two quarters and kicked six of the next eight goals of the match to lead by eight points at the last change.

Josh Westerman shut down Forrest. Tommy Shaw was working tirelessly up and back from the forward half of the ground. Luke Rowe started to clunk a few marks and hit the scoreboard. Todd Farrelly continued his domination of Tom Baker (two goals). Ben Sedewick was making life very diffi cult for Lachy Arm-strong.

Justin Farrelly started to break even

with Ben Dwyer in the ruck after being beaten early and Scott Simpson asserted his authority with some very heavy, bone-crunching tackles.

With the likes of Jedd Sutton, Justin Allsop, Leigh Stewart and Cal Dixon winning plenty of the footy, the Eagles looked the hot tip leading into the last quarter.

It certainly looked even better for them in the last when Allsop got on the end of a ball inside 50 and nailed it from 30 metres.

At that stage, the scoreboard read Somerville 10.10 (70) to Rosebud 8.8 (56).

That’s where the celebrations ended for the Eagles’ players and supporters.

While the Eagles went into protec-tion mode to maintain the lead, Rosebud came charging.

Dwyer again started to jump higher and stronger in the ruck. Bentley, For-rest, Brad McDonald, Rhys Bancroft and Bristow started to force their way forward of centre through sheer will and strength and the back half, led by the dashing and powerful Nick Boswell, began to repel all Somer-ville attacks.

Matt Baker, Jack Jarman, Chris Zurek and Daniel Wilson, who col-lectively worked tirelessly all day down back, also grew a leg and made it diffi cult for their opponents.

Seb Kremich had a fantastic battle with Billy Rolfe all afternoon and broke even in the end after Rolfe had

a bit of it early. At the other end of the ground,

the likes of Tom Stoffells and Glen Peterson started to get busy when the ball went inside and Downie was going for everything in the air, either bringing it to ground for his smalls or marking it.

Dale Stephens had an impact on the match on a number of occasions, utilising his blistering pace, while Brenton Davidge provided sensa-tional support in the ruck for Dwyer. The Buds certainly lost nothing when Davidge went into the middle.

While the likes of Cade Williams and Kurtis Corrin didn’t have big numbers, their infl uence when re-quired supported this Rosebud culture of “team fi rst”.

Somerville played into Rosebud’s hands when the game was there to be won. It got in front in the second and third quarter because it took the game on. The Eagles took risks, moved the ball quickly and gave their forwards an opportunity.

However, when they got out to 14 points, they went defensive, slowed the game down, didn’t run and carry, didn’t take risks and did nothing to change the momentum.

Rosebud has proven that they are the best in the business at these tac-tics. It’s the way they like the game to be played. The result was 11 scoring shots to three in the fi nal term.

Rosebud deserved to be premiers.

They were the minor premier and went straight into the grand fi nal after a second semi-fi nal win.

The entire club deserves to be con-gratulated. Following the Nick Jewell resignation, the club could have gone off the rails.

While it’s certainly been tough from an off-fi eld perspective, the club has remained vigilant. The on fi eld team has certainly not buckled at any point.

There is only one reward for hard work in footy clubs and that is prem-ierships.

In 2015, Rosebud Football Club are the deserved premiers.

In the reserves, Devon Meadows won its fi rst ever club premiership with a 13.14 (92) to 8.7 (55) victory over Somerville.

Somerville booted the fi rst fi ve goals of the game before the Mead-ows responded with 13 of the next 16 majors.

Forty-one-year-old club legend Craig Hunter booted three goals while 19-year-old Luke Duhig was judged best afi eld.

In the Under 19s, Dromana con-tinued its fairytale fi nals run, beating Rosebud 15.11 (101) to 9.12 (66).

Stars Sam Fowler, Billy Quigley and Sam Guerts dominated for the Tigers while Ethan Johnstone was judged best afi eld.

It was Rosebud’s second loss in two seasons.

By Toe PuntThe worst kept secret in local footy can be revealed – Nick Jewell will coach Sorrento next season.

The 2015 premiership coach resigned his post at Rosebud after round six when he was offered the job at Sorrento.

For more than half of the 2015 sea-son, Nick Jewell has been the coach of Sorrento for 2016.

Ideally, according to Jewell, he would have liked to have continued to build on the success that he and the Rosebud Football Club had built over the past three years during his time at the club.

However, the Buds would not give him the job after six rounds of the 2015 season and he exercised his

right to accept another offer that was on the table.

It is believed Jewell was offered the Sorrento job just one year after being at Rosebud, however, he declined the opportunity because he felt there was great opportunity with the Buds.

His father, former Richmond Premiership coach Tony Jewell, is a member at Sorrento, Nick played at the club and plays cricket at the club.

Jewell makes no secret of the fact that it was always a dream to coach Sorrento, however made it clear Rosebud were always his fi rst prior-ity.

Despite winning the 2015 premier-ship and the reserves and Under 19s going deep into the fi nals, only one formal application has been made for

the senior coaching position.Without question, it is the plum job

in the entire MPNFL.

Footy Show goes to BreweryThe last RPP FM Footy Show of the year will be held at Mornington Peninsula Brewery from 9-10am this Saturday, September 26.

It would be sensational to have as many people there as possible to celebrate what has been another awe-some year of local footy.

Get down for a free breakfast and try all the local beers on tap – there will be free tastings all morning.

Mornington Peninsula Brewery is located at 72 Watt Rd, Mornington.

Stratton at Crib Point

Like Jewell at Sorrento, it is believed Taylor Stratton has been the new coach of Crib Point since at least round 15 of this season.

While Crib Point and Stratton refuse to admit that he has the job, we can categorically tell you that the former team of the year midfi elder has the top job.

And it is believed that Stratton ap-proached the Magpies for the job, not the other way around.

It is alleged that Stratton was on a recruiting drive within the Hastings group well before the season fi nished.

We can also tell you that Hastings powerbrokers have made it very clear to Stratton to stop the phone calls to Hastings players.

It is believed his brother Kain

will go with him to Crib Point, with at least one other Hastings player, although no one is sure who that is.

Pearcedale lands big fi shPearcedale announced on Saturday that former Peninsula League medal-list, three time premiership player and Seaford star Chris Irving has signed as assistant coach.

Jamie Merchan will continue to be the head coach, however, Irving comes into the fold to support.

Pat Heijden, Ben Mitchell and Dylan Hoare will concentrate on their footy.

Irving is not expected to play at all, however, the Panthers are hopeful of announcing some big signings in the coming weeks.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt MORNINGTON will play Frankston YCW in the 2015 Peninsula Division grand fi nal for the second year in a row after smashing old foes Mt Eliza by 48 points on Sunday.

The Doggies were simply too commit-ted for the Redlegs, who looked as though they would have preferred to be some-where else other than Kars St in a Prelimi-nary Final.

Mt Eliza were pathetic and gave up with-out a whimper. If it had not been for Sam Gill, Darren Booth, Karl Lombardozzi, Matt Little, Jimmy Clayton and James An-wyl, they would have been belted by far more than eight goals.

Mornington came out with intent and a desire to play in a grand fi nal. You could have been forgiven for thinking Mt Eliza didn’t care if they got there. The Redlegs kicked three goals in the fi rst half and just two in the second. Mt Eliza averaged 17 goals a game in 2015.

The fi nal score was 13.7 (85) to 5.7 (37).When you have a full forward like Justin

Van Unen, who has kicked more than 100 goals in a season, it’s diffi cult to under-stand why he started on a wing. If it was to shake Adam Symes as an opponent, it was naïve by the Mt Eliza brainstrust. Symes is comfortable wherever he plays and was more than happy to stand with Van Unen on the wing. He was far too good for him wherever he played.

James Cameron set the game up for the Doggies with six possessions in the fi rst quarter and 21 for the match. He also boot-ed two goals.

Joel Miller and Ben Wells (two goals) didn’t get a possesion in the fi rst quarter but dominated after that, while Ben Cle-ments was busy all afternoon with three goals.

Jackson Calder just works so hard and wills himself to contests. This attitude is usually rewarded with opportunity and he fi nished with four goals.

Danny Nolan and Emilio Bitters were back in the side and got better and better as the game went on. Coach Chris Holcombe said before the game that he expected War-wick Miller to play in the grand fi nal.

Michael Gay was dominant in the ruck while Dale Nolan was comfortably the second best player on the ground, playing as a defender. He would have had more than a dozen marks.

While Symes carved up Van Unen, Ryan Smith and Jai Haddock had the ball on a string from half back, while Ryan O’Dell, Josh Halsall and Barry Smeeton did a lot of the grunt work.

Yet again, it wasn’t the prettiest of games, however the Doggies were the side that wanted to win.

If you were a Mt Eliza supporter, you would have left the ground very disap-pointed.

Obviously, the Doggies’ fans loved it and they are into yet another Grand Final.
