Caught at the beach JUST about everyone has heard about beach volleyball, but beach netball?

According to Paul Faillia taking nets to the beach and making catches in a spectacular fashion is a hit waiting to happen.

On Friday he was at Dromana with teams of junion netballers.

Friends in bid to fix wetlands

Picture: Yanni

Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au COMMUNITY lobby group Save Tootgarook Swamp has filed an application in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to carry out native revegetation works in a part of the swamp that VCAT ordered developer Watermark Villages to carry out in April 2011.

Watermark owns 92 Elizabeth Ave, 6.2 hectares on the edge of the wetlands, which it wants to develop as a retirement village with 99 dwellings.

The site was cleared of native grasses in 2008. VCAT ordered that it be restored and a revegetation plan was supposed to be submitted to the shire within 120 days but this did not occur.

The move is likely to embarrass Mornington Peninsula Shire, which has done nothing to enforce the revegetation order.

Save Tootgarook Swamp president Cameron Brown said the land "had been left to languish for the past four years".

"Described by authorities as 'superlative', the swamp is currently being reviewed for Ramsar status [an international structure that protects wetlands]. It is home to more than 40 significant species of flora and fauna including the endangered Australasian bittern," he said.

"Our application puts planning laws and the whole process of environmental protection under the spotlight."

He said "tactics" used by Watermark to avoid the native revegetation order and the shire's lack of enforcement needed to be brought to the attention of VCAT. The application is believed to be a first for Victoria in that it seeks to allow someone other than a council to carry out native revegetation work ordered by VCAT. "By making this application to VCAT we hope to break the impasse and carry out the urgently needed native revegetation works ourselves based on our extensive local knowledge and our group's comprehensive Tootgarook Swamp management guidelines," Mr Brown said.

Meanwhile, on Monday night last week, shire councillors refused two applications by two companies to develop 92 Elizabeth Ave – the 99-dwelling one from Watermark Village Pty Ltd and one from Lifestyle Communities Ltd for 163 dwellings.

Lifestyle Communities has an option to buy the block from Watermark.

The Watermark application has been listed to be heard at VCAT on Friday after the council failed to determine the matter within 60 days.

Melbourne Water has objected to the application. Save Tootgarook Swamp lawyer Michael Morehead said Melbourne Water was the "determining responsible authority" for the matter and its objection could not be challenged in the VCAT. "Also, if Melbourne Water says 'no', the council can't say 'yes'," he said.

Plenty of nets and catches, but not a fish in sight NETBALL games down the beach? That’s the plan for Dromana Junior Netball Club president Paul Faillia, who says he has had “a huge response” from local clubs showing interest in playing the game at Dromana beach.

“I have always wanted to see the sport played on our beautiful beaches as part of a summer comp,” he said.

“I am in the early-mid stages of completing a portable court system that would see the game played on the beach in any location from Frankston through to Portsea, whether it be on a foreshore or back beach.

“We have so many netball clubs at hand meaning this would be an enjoyable and intense way to enjoy the sport – not only on the beach.

“It would provide entertainment for all beachgoers and spectators.”

Dromana Junior Netballers on Fridday showcased their skills in friendly inter-club matches with players ranging from under-9 through under-15.

It was the start of what Mr Faillia hopes is a fully-fledged summer carnival with netball local clubs playing among themselves.

“This would put us on the map in regards to beach netball,” he said.

He plans to speak to Netball Australia and the Vixens next week to get the ball rolling. “I have some very good connections wanting to jump on board.”

Build two new ports, inquiry told Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MELBOURNE needs two new ports – one at Hastings and one on the western side of Port Phillip – Captain Richard Cox told the Port of Melbourne Select Committee hearing in Hastings last week.

The committee is gathering information about the Labor government's proposed long-term lease of the Port of Melbourne to commercial interests, and came to the peninsula for the first time to hear submissions from individuals, councils including Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston, and conservation groups.

Captain Cox, a Tyabb resident and former Port of Hastings harbourmaster, told the committee that bulk trade required waterfront space for silos and

7.00PM

tanks with wharf loading and unloading infrastructure different from that used for containers.

He said Hastings should be developed as a container port, and the western side of Port Phillip – dubbed Bay West – should be for bulk trade "combining Geelong and Melbourne port facilities".

After dumping plans for a container port at Hastings last year, the state government said Western Port should become a port for bulk trade. The area is already a bulk trade node with United Terminals (fuel) and Esso (gas and crude oil) operating north of the town, and Swiss company Puma Energy seeking to build a tank farm for imported fuel in the precinct.

Captain Cox said Victoria needed the two new ports if trade was to remain strong "otherwise we will become a backwater and have the added expense

of our goods being sent by road from NSW or Adelaide".

"Businesses will then move closer to these ports with dire consequences for Victoria’s economy," he said.

The entrance to Port Phillip – The Heads – would not allow transit of bigger container ships, he said.

"One shipping company already wants to bring in vessels that carry 8000 containers and many shipbuilding yards have orders for 10,000 container ships."

The Heads was not up to international standards for vessels of this size.

"What will happen to Victoria’s economy if a vessel did hit the rocky sides [of the channel] and sink, blocking the channel?"

Captain Cox said 60 per cent of containers coming into the Port of Melbourne were taken by road to the “Dandenong and Braeside area”. There was

not enough room to store containers west of Melbourne but Hastings had 3500 hectares zoned for port-related use. Melbourne had just 560 hectares.

He said the government should lease the Port of Melbourne for 10 years not 50.

Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston Council told the committee Melbourne's second container port should be at Hastings.

"Port development at Hastings is integral to driving continued industry development and business innovation" in the southeast, the shire's submission stated.

It would bring $1 billion in gross regional product by the mid-2030 and an extra 5700 jobs.

Both councils oppose any further deepening of The Heads and Port Phillip shipping channels.

Preserve Western Port Action Group

told the committee an expanded Port of Hastings would have "serious adverse consequences for the everyday life of the region, its economy, its social fabric and its biodiversity".

"Construction will involve substantial dredging in Western Port, which in turn will speed up the tides, which will redefine the coastline and compound the effects of climate change."

There was a risk of damaging seagrass and marine animals and endangering the biodiversity and food chains of the region.

Other risks included increased air and noise pollution, illegal discharge of ballast water, collisions and oil spills, and road congestion.

Western Port's $620 million a year tourism industry (including Phillip Island's famous penguin parade) would be harmed. It currently provided 5000 full-time jobs.

Trailblazer inspires those who follow

Beware: con men on the move

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

THE state government is warning Victorians about a coming spike in the number of dodgy door-to-door tradespeople trying to rip off people.

Consumer affairs minister Jane Garrett said summer was the peak time for con men offering cheap "today only" cash deals on jobs such as painting, roof and driveway repairs.

In 2014-15, Consumer Affairs Victoria received 486 reports of travelling con men, with reported losses totalling $1.35 million. Reports spike between January and March.

Ms Garrett said con men often ask for cash payments up front, then take the money and run. They leave behind unfinished or poor quality work.

Victorians are encouraged to report con men to a national hot line – 1300 133 408 – or call police.

Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Fyffe of Frankston police said a gang of Irish gypsies several years ago had conned several "vulnerable" elderly homeowners out of tens of thousands of dollars by promising to repair their roofs.

The gang extracted deposit money and cash for supplies, returned next day and appeared to do work on the roof but caused more damage, he said. Some con men used fake business cards from a legitimate company.

The men were caught, had their visas revoked and were deported to Ireland.

Sergeant Fyffe urged residents to be careful of itinerant tradies. Never pay money up front. If the price sounds too good to be true it usually is.

"If you need a tradie, look online or in the Yellow Pages," he said.

A VILLAGE Glen resident farewelled at Rosebud Funerals recently was the 13th Victorian police woman and one of the first five to be permitted to take part in police mobile patrols.

Joyce McCallum, 97, who died at Rosebud West last month, was born on 12 February 1918.

She left a lasting legacy – one that’s influencing police women today.

Mrs McCallum – nee Johnson – joined the force in 1946 at a time when policing was a man’s job and women were allocated administrative and driver duties, keeping them out of harm’s way.

“She was proud of her time there and thought she was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time,” son Ross McCallum said last week.

“Times were tough when she saw an advertisement for drivers and thought, ‘I could do that’. She was accepted and became a member of the first group to wear uniforms and be permitted to drive around town looking for offenders.”

Ross and his brother Howard didn’t hear their mum talk often about her former policing career – she left that to their dad, former Chief Superintendent Hugh McCallum (deceased). The couple also had seven grandchildren.

“She was proud of her role, but it wasn’t a big deal for her. She didn’t say much about the early days.”

Southern Metro Region Inspector Karen Nyholm said Mrs McCallum registered as No. 9840, meaning she was the nine thousandth, eight

Uniform approach: Joyce McCallum, right, in her policing days and, above, as a happy retiree.

hundredth and fortieth member to be sworn in.

But, she also held the separate number of P/W 13 – indicating she was the 13th police woman to join. This type of number is no longer allocated.

“For me, a current woman in Victoria Police, I am inspired by women such as Joyce who led the way back in the 1940s to gradually challenge the role and equality of women in policing,” Inspector Nyholm said.

“I am the benefactor of her trailblazing career – now enjoying equal pay and equal opportunity.

“Having spoken to her friends and family at the funeral, I learnt that Joyce was a dignified, elegant and strong woman who was very proper, as well as a committed mother and nana.”

A 1946 newspaper article made much of the-then Joyce Johnson and her four colleagues in their “smart, dark blue uniforms, peaked caps and silver police badge”.

“It is felt the new uniforms, which follow the tradition of London’s police women, will lend weight to their authority for arrests,” the paper said.

It recorded their first arrest – in Swanson St: “The woman prisoner was locked up at the City Watchhouse on a drunk-and-disorderly charge.”

Inspector Nyholm said after five years’ service Mrs McCallum was obligated to resign due to her impending marriage, which was required by law at that time.

She then supported her husband as his police career took them all over

Victoria – often to run stations with a residence at the rear – and finally to Burwood, where they retired.

When her husband died Mrs McCallum made the move to Village Glen for the last three months of her life.

“She loved it there,” Ross said. “She especially got a kick out of the day trips with other Village Glen residents, especially one visit to the Police Academy a little while ago.

“Mum happened to tell the guide that she had once been a police woman and they looked at some old photographs on the wall and there she was.

“The surprised guide was in awe, telling the other visitors they were honoured to have a celebrity in their midst. That tickled mum.”

Early flow savings for sewage system Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SOUTH East Water has finished its southern peninsula sewage system 12 months ahead of schedule and $100 million under budget.

The state government authority says it is a win for the environment and its customers, who will pay onethird less to connect than originally estimated.

The Peninsula ECO sewerage project was announced by the state government in July 2013 (ECO stands for early connection option).

Then water minister Peter Walsh said the $357 million project would replace "outdated and often unhygienic septic tank systems" and connect one of the last unsewered area in Melbourne's southeast 16 years earlier than had been planned.

Last week, SEW said "leading edge technology and innovative drilling techniques" it had developed had reduced construction from 36 months to two years. The project had cost $255 million, $102 million less than estimated in 2013.

The largest project of its type in Australia, SEW contractors have installed 235 kilometres of pipes to service 16,500 properties in Rye, St Andrews Beach, Blairgowrie, Sorrento and Portsea plus 15 kilometres of pipes to connect the system to Boneo treatment plant.

More than 750 properties between Rye and Portsea have been connected since last October. Connections in a second part of Rye start this week with Blairgowrie in February.

SEW said septic tanks and treatment plants may seem low maintenance "but they are polluting our environment with untreated, contaminated water".

"Dirty water seeps from properties, through the peninsula's sandy soil into groundwater, bays and beaches. It is worst during the holiday period."

In late August, SEW managing director Kevin Hutchings presented rebate cheques of almost $5000 to about 200 customers who connected early.

Connection costs differ for each property but range from $5000 to $16,000.

He said the peninsula was one of the state's most picturesque areas "but leaking septic tanks are polluting the environment and have the potential to contaminate bore water".

Removing septic tanks and individual treatment plants had seen property owners gaining up to 160 square metres of land, "an area equivalent to a three-bedroom home".

Project innovations included environmentally sensitive drilling, a lowpressure system instead of traditional gravity mains, a cloud-based waste flow management system that smooths out sewage flows, and a monitoring

unit at each property telemetrically connected to SEW's operations centre.

Items that cannot be discharged into the system include cooking oil and fat, baby wipes, nappies, sanitary napkins and tampons, socks, rags, chemicals (except domestic products such as dishwashing powder, detergent and hair dye), seafood shells, glass, metal, pet litter, flammable materials, oil, grease, petrol, diesel, and water-soluble and oil-based paint.

Search uncovers seniors’ ‘treasure’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au

Telltale signs: Somerville Senior Constable Dave Taylor dusts the caravan for fingerprints.

Mobile storage for stolen goods Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A CARAVAN parked on the Rosebud foreshore and later found to be stolen was a holding pen for property stolen from residential and holiday homes from Carrum Downs to Rosebud.

Inside the caravan and in a stolen Ford Econovan police found an Aladdin’s Cave of missing items valued at thousands of dollars.

The light-fingered “owner” of the vehicles, of Frankston North, was last week charged with 13 counts of burglary, theft, car and caravan stealing, and obtaining property by deception.

He was remanded at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Friday 23 October to reappear at a date to be fixed.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Somerville police complex, said members of the public reported a man “door handling” in the Rosebud area –

walking quickly past cars and trying their door handles to see if they were open – and raised the alarm.

Police drove to the foreshore and interviewed the suspect, who Detective Vallas described as a “transient”.

The man claimed to be the owner of the white Econovan, which was later found to be stolen from South Australia. The caravan’s number plates were allegedly stolen from Page Bros. RV, of Wells Rd, Seaford.

“The fellow could not produce his bona fides as to ownership of the van, the caravan or the goods,” Detective Vallas said. “He consented to a search and police found a lot of property which turned out to be stolen over the previous five days.”

The haul included wallets and their contents from car break-ins at Frankston, Frankston North, Mornington and Mt Eliza, electrical goods and TVs from a Seaford retailer, as well

as the campervan, which was reported missing from Carrum Downs. The total value was estimated at $40,000 for the caravan and its contents and $1000 for the Econovan.

Police will allege credit cards stolen from wallets were used to buy items from unsuspecting retailers. They say keys to several homes had been stolen and then used to rob them of valuables at different times.

“One house in Frankston was broken into in April and then again in the past five days,” Detective Vallas said.

“The man may have travelled back and forth and a lot of property may turn out to have been stolen from over a much longer period.”

Police on Tuesday towed the van and caravan to a secure Mornington Peninsula vehicle depot to sort through the stolen items. They are now working to reunite the rightful owners with their property.

MONEY left over when Rye Senior Citizens Club disbanded 10 years ago will likely go to Rye Beach Community Centre.

The existence of a big pot of money, about $60,000, was revealed in late 2012 when Nepean Ward councillor Tim Rodgers was showing his newly elected colleague Hugh Fraser around their patch.

The pair inspected the former senior citizens hall in Napier St, Rye, and heard that money left in the bank when the seniors' club disbanded in 2005 was never redistributed.

The seniors' club was formed in the 1960s and disbanded a decade ago, possibly because Rye RSL expanded its services and many seniors moved across to the RSL. Councillors last week decided to recommend to Consumer Affairs Victoria that the cash go to the community centre, although CAV is not legally obliged to follow the council's decision. It can allocate the money to the state of Victoria but this would likely cause an outcry as club members worked long and hard to raise the funds.

Of the $60,000, $3000 was a grant from the shire, which wants it returned.

In his report to the council, Director of Communities Robin Adams stated

the shire supported "20 independently incorporated senior citizens clubs" on the peninsula by providing buildings and "some financial grants".

He said the shire had sought advice from Consumer Affairs Victoria about how to allocate the $60,000, which is sitting in a Bendigo Bank account.

The process took so long because shire officers had to find old files stored away from shire offices. Shire staff had been unable to find former office bearers of the club.

Cr Fraser said Rye Beach Community Centre was the organisation that most closely met the seniors' club's aims, which had been found in the old files.

One of its aims was to support elderly people "within the district of Rye".

Mr Adams said the community centre "strongly support the promoting of community services and welfare support for a broad range of residents (which include the aged) within the Rye community. It is well-regarded and the most significant agency supporting the Rye area".

He recommended the $57,000 go to seven clubs in the area but councillors opted for the community centre.

The former senior citizens hall, next to Rye Civic Hall, is still in use – by dancing groups, people with disabilities and for other community events.

Getting ready: Rye Pre-schoolers are looking forward to the garage sale and barbecue.

Kinder enters fundraising stakes with garage sale An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

RYE Pre School will hold its first fundraiser – a garage sale and barbecue – from 8am-2pm, Saturday 28 November at 25 Nelson St, Rye. It will raise money for outdoor equipment. “Rye Pre School has been part of the community for 60 years, and

renewing and updating this equipment will not only benefit this year’s kinder kids, but at least the next 10 years’ worth as well – so that’s almost 600 local kids and their families,� director Julie Irvine, said. “The benefits of developing these

skills early mean that the children are increasingly confident to take responsibility for their own health and physical wellbeing, so they feel happy, healthy, safe, connected to others and they show enthusiasm for participating in physical play.�

Council knocks back Tully’s wine outlet Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE owner of Tully's Corner Produce Store on the Moorooduc Highway, Moorooduc, was not a happy man when he left the council chamber in Rosebud on Monday last week.

Frank Brancatisano wanted the council to approve his application to sell in his store bottled wine produced by three nearby wineries – Barmah Park Vineyard and Stumpy Gully Vineyard in Moorooduc, and Massoni Vineyard in Mt Eliza.

He'd spent a motza on reports from town planner Ratio Consultants and was confident that green wedge zone changes made by Coalition planning minister Matthew Guy, before the Napthine government was rolled by Labor, would allow packaged wine sales – so-called "primary produce".

Shire planner James Bryan had recommended the application be approved but when the vote came, it was 6-3 against.

Mr Bryan's report to councillors stated Tully's had a permit for retail sales and "primary produce sales" issued in 2007 but this did not include alcohol or "non-food" products.

Now Tully's wanted to use a corner of its building to "sell wine sourced from vines from adjacent land" during its normal opening hours (9am-6pm Monday-Saturday and 10am-6pm on Sunday).

Just one objection was received by

the shire. A Mt Eliza resident stated that the sale of alcoholic products in the green wedge zone was usually in the form of a "cellar door" for wine produced on a property.

"This application equates to a bottle shop and is prohibited in the green wedge. The sale of locally produced alcoholic products as a means of enhancing the peninsula tourism experience is better conducted from cellar doors.

"The application confuses green wedge zone cellar door-type operations with the traditional bottle shop."

Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association supported the Tully's application as did several winemakers.

Mr Bryan said green wedge zone changes made by Mr Guy meant "sale of wine produced from grapes grown on 'adjacent land' is now considered to be primary produce sales".

"The sale of wine is to be limited to wines produced from grapes grown within a 3 kilometre radius of [Tully's]".

The council refused the application, stating "the sale of liquor from a retail premises fails to comply with the purpose and intent of" green wedge zone rules, and it would "result in an intensification of a retail use, which is prohibited in the green wedge".

• Mr Brancatisano won approval from the council earlier this year to open a 200 square metre bottle shop at Moorooduc Coolstores, just 1.4km from Tully's.

Pedal power: Bentons 632 students Suané, Ebony and Robyn with the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb.

Public’s view sought for transport study FEEDBACK is being sought on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s “sustainable transport strategy”.

The strategy outlines a vision for sustainable transport and how it can contribute to the shire’s health, economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Priorities are increasing transport options for older residents; providing better access to schools and jobs; easing traffic congestion; reducing car use; integrating transport and land use planning, and promoting walking and riding.

The strategy is on view until 7 December. Complete the online survey at the shire’s website or, post comments to rita. kontas@mornpen.vic.gov.au by 5pm Tuesday 7 December.

Witnesses sought POLICE are seeking witnesses to a headon collision at Fingal, 3pm, Sunday last week.

It is believed a 74-year-old Rye woman was driving a grey Mazda sedan on Browns Rd, near Springs Lane, while a North Ringwood woman, 37, was driving a white Suzuki swift in the opposite direction.

Both women were taken to The Alfred hospital with serious, but non-life threatening, injuries.

Anyone who saw the incident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

The sounds of music help students find their way

Group goes heels over head against coal mine MEMBERS of a Somers yoga class are hoping to convince Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt to overturn his decision to approve a massive coal mine in central Queensland.

Last Monday week they joined the list of groups and organisations that have used Mr Hunt’s office as a focus for protests against the federal government and, in particular, its environmental policies.

The previous week it was protesters dressed as angels climbing onto the roof of the office and before that deliveries of bags of coal. In May, police arrested leaders of a group

of Christians occupying Mr Hunt’s offices in protest at the government’s asylum seeker policies.

Nearly all the recent protests have centred on coal from Adani’s Carmichael mine which will be exported from a terminal at Abbot Point, which environmentalists believe will damage the nearby Great Barrier Reef.

“It [Mr Hunt’s approval of the mine] was being discussed by member of the yoga class and we decided that standing on our heads outside his Hastings office was most appropriate, as Adani is an Indian company and yoga has its Indian origin,” Jasmine Wigley said.

“We discussed joining [activist

group] GetUp’s protests and standing around holding placards, but decided doing head stands would be a good way of getting it across to Mr Hunt to turn his decision on its head.”

Ms Wigley said the yoga group – “we all live in Mr Hunt’s electorate” – intended to regularly stand on their heads outside his office.

“This was the first of a series of protests planned and we hope to enlarge our Power Protest Yoga profile to include all of the yoga schools in the electorate and potentially beyond.”

For his part, Mr Hunt says the Adani permit will be subject to strict environmental conditions.

SONGS and music cut across all boundaries and a concert being held in Mornington this month is being held to help young people take up education rather than crime.

Run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence, the RESET program helps students fit back into mainstream classes at Monterey Secondary College, Frankston.

Concert organisers say lyrics of the song Street Angel sung by Colleen Hewitt about the plight of street kids best expresses their thoughts: “The soul of our nation shines through the eyes of her children.”

The RESET - (Re-engaging Early Secondary Education and Training) - project is designed for 10 and 14 year olds living in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula who are disengaged from school and involved with crime.

Since late last year the program has been run in a stand-alone room in the college grounds.

While operating independently, the RESET students, who are enrolled at the college, participate in several school activities, including sport.

They are helped to develop interpersonal problem solving and other skills. One member of RESET’s team is a psychologist, whose work with the students includes cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

The program began in response to concerns by Victoria Police and schools that young people were likely to live a life of ongoing disadvantage

and crime without appropriate help.

The college provides a part-time teacher’s aide and its staff help to facilitate the transition of young people from the RESET program into mainstream classes.

Money raised through the Mornington concert will help supply students involved in the RESET program with text books and stationary and pay for their transport.

The concert, A Christmas Cracker, is billed as featuring a bass, a baritone, a soprano and a pianist as well as three tenors.

Guest artist is Berlin-based tenor Michael Smallwood who returns to Melbourne for this month’s Melbourne Art and Song Collective at the Melbourne Recital Centre. Also on the bill is The Aspidistra Vocal Quartet, with tenors Richard Hobson and Adrian McEniery, baritone Michael Leighton Jones and bass Jerzy Kozlowski with Michael Fulcher.

The program is by MC Michael Leighton Jones and will also feature the Brotherhood's own soprano Meredith Kerr.

A Christmas Cracker, 7.30pm 27 November Mornington Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington (Melway 145 E2). Tickets: $60 (concession $50) include tea, coffee and wine from Prancing Hill Estate at interval. Bookings: mpearce@bsl. org.au or call 0407 145 552.

The Brotherhood of St Laurence can arrange transport from aged care homes and other venues.

NEWS DESK Wall talk: Mornington Peninsula councillors have ignored recommendations from their officers that Skylift be given the go ahead to change a proposed wall from a crib wall, left, to concrete, right.

Skylift skins knee at the 6-metre wall hurdle THOSE anticipating a community meeting of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council at Somerville on Monday 26 October were gutted to learn of the change of venue to the Rosebud bunker. Reason: the Mechanics Hall is still under repair. No briefing, no meal – the gallery made do with a cuppa, a cream biscuit and a full agenda.

LET us skip past the majority of the meeting and get to the point of interest – councillors’ consideration of yet another request for a design change to the Arthurs Seat Skylift proposal.

On Council Watch’s calculation, this will be possibly the fourth or fifth, maybe the sixth, amendment sought by the Skylift proponents – CW is happy to be corrected on this – under the “secondary consent” power council possesses to endorse changes without reference to the original Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal decision.

Floor plans have been significantly altered and building features omitted.

The gondola colour has gone from

By David Harrison red to blue, better to blend with the Arthurs Seat landscape. At this stage it’s not believed that the gondolas will flash like bioluminescent insects in the evenings. It could be a pretty sight, come to think of it.

Then permission was gained to remove or prune more trees than first proposed on the leased Skylift land.

The felling has begun.

Happily, the proponent and shire planners have largely been in concert on these changes. Planners support the applicant in their latest report with phrases such as “The amendment is required…” and the proponent “had to” source another product.

This time the Skylift proponents wanted to change the design of an 18-metre high wall, from a “crib wall”, a lattice design in which plants

can grow, creating a pleasing cascade of shrubs and ground covers to soften and mask the concrete brickwork.

Skylift proposed instead a solid concrete block wall whose primary aesthetic feature could, Cr Tim Wood suggested, be very appealing to persons wielding spray cans.

Councillors knocked them back flat, suggesting they seek another latticestyle product.

Cr Wood was spot-on, in CW’s view. A bland concrete structure 18 metres high is no small wall. It would likely stimulate the creative juices of graffiti practitioners from far and wide, a blank canvas of this size in a secluded but easily accessible location.

In justifying the change of wall, officers described it as “not particularly visible … relative to the … public realm”. Perfect for spraying!

CW wishes to state he has seen some particularly fine graffiti, but far more horrible attempts at it. Perhaps Skylift could hire, for an appropriate outlay – no point in stinting – a renowned international artist whose

work could not, under the graffitiists’ code, be overpainted.

That way Skylift could reward customers and other visitors with a bonus artwork to replace the original proposal for an aesthetic hanging garden of Arthurs Seat.

A concrete block wall admittedly has advantages, setting aside aesthetics, in particular to the applicants.

It is cheaper, quicker to build and supportive of local industry, planners were told.

Which local industry? Shire officers could not say, but they believed the solid wall could probably be sourced from somewhere local, possibly in Melbourne.

CW believes the nearest locale is in Heidelberg, which is certainly closer than Queensland, where officers said the crib wall could be bought but is an expensive proprietary product. Was the alternative stone wall a proprietary product? Officers could not say.

It appeared little or no independent checking had been done by the shire on any points put to it in the application, such as whether any other type

of lattice wall could be substituted for the Queensland-based system originally proposed and approved by VCAT. The Skylift argument favouring use of local industry sent CW on a factfinding hunt. Did not Skylift engage tree fellers from Wangaratta to clear the Arthurs Seat site? Apparently it did; possibly defining “local” as “within Victoria”.

Argument swung back and forth, about the danger of children trying to climb up or down a lattice wall; how water could be drained away from it; then, finally, the best colour for a solid concrete wall.

Cr Lynn Bowden, a welcome sight in the chamber after her long leave of absence, suggested it be “blue, to match the gondolas”. This quip resulted in a snicker or two.

A clear majority of the nine councillors present – Cr Anne Shaw was absent and David Gibb remains on leave – threw out the application. CW wonders how many more changes might be sought before Skylift grinds into life about a year hence.

Southern United selects coaches

By Craig MacKenzie SOUTHERN United Soccer Club has named Theresa Deas as president and Stuart Munro as head coach. It is one of eight clubs contesting next year’s inaugural Victorian Women’s National Premier League competition.

Deas is a former Matilda’s goalkeeper who made her Victorian state debut aged 14 and her international debut at 17. She was inducted into Football Federation Australia’s Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Football Federation Victoria equivalent in 2011.

Married with two daughters she has managed the national women’s team, Victorian state teams, is a former director of Women’s Soccer Victoria, worked as a women’s football development officer and project officer

and sat on the FFV women’s standing committee.

Munro has had a celebrated career as a professional footballer and as a coach. The Scot played with St Mirren and Alloa before establishing himself with Glasgow giant Rangers where he played for seven years. He also played with English clubs Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City before coming to Australia in 1997 to join Sydney United.

Munro has coached Gippsland Falcons, Carlton, Parramatta Power, South Melbourne, Oakleigh Cannons and Dandenong Thunder and has been assistant coach of Perth Glory.

Southern United is expected to announce the rest of its coaching staff shortly.

In charge: Southern United president Theresa Deas and senior coach Stuart Munro.

Wetland protection for the birds PROTECTING wetlands in Western Port and Port Phillip which are integral to the survival of migratory birds, ranges from controlling pest plants and animals to increasing understanding about their importance.

Management of the three internationally recognised Ramsar wetlands - Edithvale-Seaford, Western Port and the western shoreline of Port Phillip Bay – is coordinated out by the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority (PPWCMA).

“In addition, the PPWCMA has started the Improving Wetlands Project supported by the state govern-

ment’s Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning involving partnerships with councils, government agencies, community Landcare groups and private landholders,” the authority’s Andrew Morrison said.

“Some birds, such as the eastern curlew, migrate annually over 10,000 kilometers from places such as Siberia to Australia, and rely on our wetlands to rest and feed as part of their amazing yearly ritual.

“However, some pests and modern land uses and activities, including weeds, foxes, feral cats and increasing urbanisation and recreation have put

the Ramsar wetlands under pressure.”

Mr Morrison said the five-year, $3 million Improving Wetlands Project “will contribute to improving the ecological health and condition of mangrove and saltmarsh vegetation communities across the sites”.

“It will also help to reduce the threats from feral animals to native wildlife, and community engagement activities will raise awareness of wetland values and increase community and public knowledge.

For more information on the PPWCMA’s work at the Ramsar wetland sites, visit www.ppwcma.vic.gov.au.

Zarboo Hair - a cut above The only hairdressing salon in Red Hill, Zarboo Hair continues to offer the best in modern hair styling, bridal and special occasion hair, womens, mens and kids hairdressing.

Sarah Cleverdon has owned the salon for 18 months, deciding to buy it after working there for six years.

“Zarboo Hair has been in Red Hill for 10 years now and we have a wonderful team of hairdressers, all updating our skills on a regular basis,” said Sarah.

“We do general colours, cuts, blow waves, wedding hair and makeup, as well as kids hair, and barbering for men.”

Sarah has just completed a barbering course, and the other two hairdressers, Sammy Basse

and apprentice Kelly Houston constantly keep on trend with their skills.

Known for its friendly staff, great atmosphere and hairdressing service that is second to none, Zarboo Hair also had a major transformation early this year.

“I decided to modern it up a bit,” said Sarah.

“We took out a lot of the previous décor and added polished black surfaces and lots of mirrors to give a sophisticated look.”

Zarboo Hair is open Tuesday to Saturday.

LETTERS Supporting the cap Councils trying various means to get around the state government-imposed rate cap ("Rate cap may not quell cash calls", The News, 27/10/15) are apparently too stupid to understand that the government is telling them to curb their expansionism.

Rates are already becoming a crippling burden and many people have to use credit to pay them.

I don't believe ratepayers want new services, departments, or features (empire building) that councils say we need.

A lot of council functions are contracted out: a simple building permit for a garage in 1982 cost me $10, under privatisation it is now $400.

The reality is we hardly need councils at all.

We have computers and the horse and buggy era is over.

Most councils need to become smaller, not larger. Rates need to go down each year, not up.

The second rate, the shifty "municipal charge", needs to be abolished. I know that populations are increasing, requiring expanded existing services, but more houses equals more rate income.

This country of about 24 million people does not need three levels of government. I wonder how many tens (or hundreds) of billions of dollars does this third tier of government cost the citizens and taxpayers?

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

MP appears rattled I attended the peaceful and friendly gathering outside Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s office and photographer Brett Tyler is absolutely accurate in describing the behaviour of the Environment Minister as intimidating, rude and unprofessional (“Tensions rise as MP calls ‘cut’”, The News 20/10/15).

Inside Mr Hunt’s office things were not much better as he continued to be very defensive and adversarial. It was hardly a cosy "chat" but a good patronising talking to.

Mr Hunt clearly wasn’t there to listen but

to intimidate well-meaning and concerned constituents. When I protested to Minister Hunt about his patronising manner he told me I should “toughen up”. One constituent actually out of the meeting in disgust.

During the meeting I asked him to respond to the assessment of Australia’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by Lord Deben , chairman of the UK's Committee on Climate Change.

Lord Deben has described Australia’s efforts as “sad and a “disgrace” (ABC, The Drum 7/10/15).

Mr Hunt responded by saying that he had met with Lord Deben and that Lord Deben had said to him that Australia was doing well with climate change but he had toe the line of the UK Climate Change Commission. Mr Hunt then said that he had asked that Lord Deben not therefore criticise Australia’s efforts publicly.

Mr Hunt’s behaviour would surely indicate that he must be seriously rattled by the continuing protests, not just outside his office, but right across Australia and indeed the world. One wonders if Mr Hunt has to swim against the tide of expert opinion to maintain his grip on a ministerial position that he considers more important than the future for our children and grandchildren.

Geoff Selby, Moorooduc

Unreliable energy As a Greens supporter Rupert Steiner (“Greener approach”, Letters 20/1/15) is strong on rhetoric and weak on energy facts. We can all subscribe to the concept of “sustainable development” and whatever is meant by “a more equal way of living for all people”: but what are the realities?: Renewable energy sources are not 24 hour reliable.

Renewables are more expensive sources of energy than coal based power, which is why they are subsidised through legislation to force the purchase by electricity retailers of 20 per cent of their needs by 2020. This cost is passed on to all electricity users, and we do not like it.

Battery storage technology may one day be developed to enable solar to meet our domestic needs at a price that is affordable to all countries.

Hydro power is limited, unless the Greens are planning on building massive dams Nuclear power is reliable and does not produce carbon dioxide, but may have long term disposable issues, which are manageable.

Mathematical models on which all the dire predictions for climate change are based have been shown to be wrong.

Trees and plants are relishing the slightly higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and research suggests they have shown improved growth rates. Perhaps the solution is the development of plants and trees with accelerated ability to convert carbon dioxide into carbon fix trees; is that where our research money should go?

Taking sensible steps to make the most efficient use of fossil fuels that we have to use makes sense.

Perhaps Mr Steiner on behalf of fellow greenies can answer simple questions: What are the reliable renewable energy sources that are available 24 hours, 365 days at a competitive cost today to replace the cost effective brown coal that powers Victoria (but produces significant carbon dioxide)? Alan Reid, Sorrento

Time to change Yes there is human produced global warming.

The majority of climate scientists have come to that conclusion. Dissenters mostly speak for the carbon extraction industries, greedy speculators or flat earth believers.

We are heading into another period of El Nino-produced dry conditions with large areas of southern Australia already facing diminished or no grain production. Will this once again last 10 years, or will it be worse?

We have to stop digging up the world’s carbon fuels and turn to renewables quickly to hold global warming to a maximum of two per cent above average temperatures at the turn of this century.

Hopefully the world will come away from the Paris climate talks with a meaningful and achievable target for carbon emissions.

The Great Barrier Reef is in danger of being damaged irreparably, by the warming of the

oceans, proposed mega mines, dredging for new ports and huge coal ships. Bad agricultural practices are releasing nutrients into the water of the reef.

Don Palmer’s great love of coal fired power stations in the La Trobe valley seem to have lasted only a year (“DIY environment”, Letters 27/10/15).

After his recounting the joys of washing clothes several times to get them clean and his son’s experience with soot from the power plants, I assume he moved away as soon as he could and came to Dromana. Their puffs of white clouds seem to have turned into a great big fire not so long ago, from which a lot of people in the La Trobe Valley will suffer for a while yet.

I won’t rush to apologise to [former prime minister] Tony Abbott in a hurry. He is too busy to accept it at the moment anyway, seeing he is now preaching his three-word slogans on the other side of the world.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Bay Trail “facts” wrong I was alarmed to read the misinformation put forward by Kelvin Stingel (“Trail of Destruction”, Letters, 27/10/2015) and I would like to reassure the community that the assertions he made against this project are entirely uninformed.

Mr Stingel has not been involved in any of the community Bay Trail discussions over the past 18 months. Contrary to his claims, the proposed missing links will still meander through the foreshore to complement the existing sections of the Bay Trail walk and will preserve and respect valuable vegetation and cultural heritage.

Point Nepean Rd started life as an indigenous walking track and part of our Bay Trail vision is to restore the quiet charm and cultural heritage of this walk with geographically significant indigenous vegetation. Further, each of the Boon Wurrung representative groups are very eager to share their story at key points along the trail and I am extremely grateful for their input and support to date.

Cabaret Cathedral: Adjacent to Rye Carnival site, CNR Dundas Street & Point Nepean Road, RYE

WHAT’S NEW...

Jason Coleman brings world first urban theatre to Rye FOLLOWING on from the outrageously successful season of Jason Coleman’s Spiegelicious and Animalastic in Sorrento, The Ministry of Entertainment proudly presents “Jason Coleman’s Razzle Dazzle” and “The Humanimals” performed exclusively in the Cabaret Cathedral in Rye. The Peninsula’s own Jason Coleman has returned to where he grew up, after purchasing a property in Rye a year ago.

With so many accolades to his name, having choreographed Christine Anu, Tina Arena, Sheena Easton, and the opening ceremony for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games to name a few, Coleman is delighted to be bringing world class theatre to the peninsula, once again.

“I’m absolutely stoked to bring this incredible venue to Rye. The custom engineered and fully transportable theatre is constructed from repurposed shipping containers, however once inside the bespoke baroque interior will blow your mind! Created to look like a French palace, with Victorian architecture on the outside, combined with a plush red and gold interior, results in the perfect setting for our new cabaret show.

And, you will have no idea you are surround by containers! Coleman said.

Tickets are on sale this week for the two shows, which Coleman has created.

“Be prepared for a surprising, stylish and sophisticated cabaret experience staring Wayne Scott Kermond and myself, sharing the stage with 12 other world class performers he said.

Located adjacent to the Rye Carnival Site (Cnr Dundas Street & Point Nepean Road, Rye) on the ever popular foreshore, the Cabaret Cathedral will provide a state of the art, purpose built urban theatre space, exclusively for these two Jason Coleman premiere events.

“The wonderful thing about this theatre is the size and ambience, it is the first time the Peninsula will have a proper theatre experience right on their doorstep.

Christened ‘Cabaret Catherdral’, the carefully chosen name came from Jason’s combined love of cabaret, art and contrast. Owner of the largest dance enterprise in the world, Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance, Jason has added the Cabaret Cathedral to his impressive list of world firsts.

Continued from Page 14 Mr Stingel is unaware that much of the walk, particularly around these sensitive areas, will be managed by raised boardwalks, allowing protection of indigenous cultural heritage, growth of vegetation and free movement of small native animals. The missing links will certainly not be “4.4m wide ... concrete … parallel to Point Nepean Rd” as he asserts.

Further, to suggest that completion of these missing links will lead to the “irrevocable destruction of our coastline” is wrong. The foreshore management committee, Mornington Peninsula Shire, various local community groups, all indigenous groups, Government MPs and myself are all supportive of the draft alignments and budgets for the trail and will be jointly submitting these to Environment Minister Lisa Neville in coming weeks to seek budget approval next year.

Mr Stingel is welcome to meet with me if he would like to be fully briefed on the facts.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Bus needs support As we all know, the funding for the Peninsula Bus which is used by students to get from the Mornington Peninsula to universities, has been de-funded by the federal government. Despite desperate pleas to our local representative, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, refunding this essential service is not a priority of his. Oh well, maybe in the next election year.

I thought that there had been a lifeline thrown to this service by the state government with $4.1 million from the Interface Growth Fund. I have since learned that this money can only be used for infrastructure projects and with respect to PenBus, the guidelines were very clear that “out-of-scope” applications – operating costs, roads and public transport infrastructure - were not included.

I found those that I talked to at Mornington Peninsula Shire would like to do nothing better than use some of these funds for the PenBus but their hands are tied.

The shire is actively petitioning the state government to help out with this important service

Hollow outcome Under Mornington Peninsula Shire supervision a large dead trunk which has been standing straight for at least 25 years to my knowledge, with a hollow for nesting of large birds, in this case cockatoos, has this week been cut in half and the nest destroyed.

In the past two weeks I have seen the parents feeding whatever was inside the nest.

I have observed the continuing use of this nest for the last nine years. What was a small hole, the cockatoos enlarged to fit their size.

It was pure joy to see them return year after year. Now they and at least four other cockatoos are competing to re-establish a home in the open top of what is left of the tree. It is distressing to watch.

Ironically, a smaller dead tree has been left standing nearby.

No doubt "safety" will be the excuse. What can't be excused is the ignorance of those in charge, to allow this to happen at the peak breeding season. Shame on you Council and Forest drive is looking increasingly like a moonscape.

Joan Dick, Mt Martha and are also looking at other options, which would not be their first choice.

It is sad that Mr Hunt appears too busy publishing four colour brochures telling us about all of the gladhanding he is doing around the peninsula (but nothing of significance), intimidating photographers in public space, and fast tracking obsolete coal mines to destroy our farms and environment to do something about this. Just another instance of cost shifting to local government.

Counting koalas KOALAS living on the Mornington Peninsula will be included in a count being held across Victoria next Saturday.

The “citizen science” project by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) has been designed to “increase our understanding of koalas and contribute to their management”, according to Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville.

“By registering and taking part in the count, the community can assist by recording where they did as well as where they did not see koalas.”

The count will take place on Saturday 7 November.

ALL the elements combine with this superb 4.04 hectare property that offers the ultimate tree-change, where a self-sufficient lifestyle can combine with business pursuits. Quietly tucked away, yet roughly equidistant from Mornington or Tyabb, the sprawling weatherboard ranch style home is the epitome of country character with wide, welcoming verandahs and timber decking on all sides the perfect place to stretch out and enjoy the rural atmosphere.

The interior is largely open-plan with a striking brick hearth as the centrepiece and exquisite Spotted Gum timber

floors that feature throughout the two living spaces and the dining area that adjoins the splendid kitchen which boasts stainless-steel appliances by Blanco and Caesarstone benchtops. The interior is flooded with natural light courtesy of the sliding glass doors that open out to an entertaining deck and alfresco. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite with heated floor will be handy on colder mornings. Two more bedrooms have built-in robes and share the main bathroom. A separate study could be a fourth bedroom if required. It is the external component

to this picturesque hobby farm that will most entice you to stay. Beautifully fertile land is abundant with orchards, vineyards, vegetable and herb gardens, and there is even the option to run a small amount of livestock with two dams and cattle yards. The enormous machinery shed has its own secure driveway and three-phase power is available from Mornington Tyabb Road to four locations across the estate. This property is well-established and is ripe for entrepreneurial expansion for wine lovers and hobby farmers seeking the quiet peninsula life.

NEWS DESK Injured woman waiting for bus

Barney makes himself right at home

A WOMAN reportedly received two broken legs when she stepped in front of a passing car in Racecourse Rd, between Wensleydale Drive and Serenity Way, Mornington, 10.30am, Tuesday. She had been waiting for a bus.

The 25-year-old was described as “conscious and breathing with non-life threatening injuries” by Mornington police who comforted her as she lay on the road after the accident. Sergeant Dennis Ramsay said the driver of the vehicle stopped at the scene and no charges were laid.

Paramedics assessed the woman for spinal and leg injuries before the air ambulance took her to The Alfred hospital from nearby Dallas Brooks Park.

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Predators on topic BERG Mt Martha will hold its annual meeting Mt Martha House with a guest Dr Jeff Yugovic speaking on the topic, “Do ecosystems need top predators?”, 9.15am for 9.30am start, Saturday 7 November.

The talk will review native predator-prey imbalances in southeast Australia with reference to tree decline on the Mornington Peninsula.

It will be followed by morning tea.

“This is an opportunity to meet up with other members, find out what BERG Mt Martha has achieved in the past year and hear our most informative speaker,” secretary Di Lewis said.

Copies of BERG’s history Up the Creek will also be available at $35.

JACK Russell-cross Barney is still right at home with his master, Alex Downs, even though they are living in aged care.

And that companionship is doing both of them the world of good.

They live at Peninsula Grange Aged Care, Mornington, with Barney’s upkeep paid for by a Pets in Aged Care grant from Animal Welfare League Australia.

The money goes towards behaviour training for one-eyed Barney – the only resident-owned pet – who needs to be taught to eat on his own, rather than accompanying Mr Downs to the dining area.

“He’s a quirky little fellow loved by all the residents but, in the dining area, he gets so many tidbits that it’s not good for his health,” Peninsula Grange events coordinator Katie Turner said.

“He gets stressed when he’s not with Mr Downs and so we are going to use the grant to teach him to be comfortable when eating alone.”

She said this would preserve the pair’s close bond, and also ease the integration of more resident-owned pets into the Booker Av premises.

“The ongoing stimulation, interaction and emotional wellbeing that Barney generates in Alex’s life are priceless,’’ Ms Turner said.

“Their health is of the utmost importance to the staff, as is the comfort and happiness of all our residents. So, it is critical that we have a process for managing pets here.’’

Family bond: Barney and Alex Downs are still able to enjoy each other’s company.

The money will pay for such things as live-in costs, vet bills, grooming, training, dog walking and feeding.

That’s all good news for Barney, 7, who likes the companionship of other residents almost as much as he does his master’s. “He seems to be sitting next to a different person every time I

see him,” Ms Turner said.

The AWLA's interim executive officer Stuart Gillies said evidence showed pets made people happier and healthier. “So, making provision for their pets in aged care accommodation makes good sense,’’ he said.

“Directors of successful pet–friendly

aged care facilities have told us that pets contribute to community feeling and encourage friendships between residents.

“When a resident is strongly bonded to their pet and the live-in pet situation is well managed, the benefits to that resident, other residents and staff should not be underestimated.”

To encourage residents to reduce green waste around their homes, Mornington Peninsula Shire will hold a ‘No Charge” Green Waste disposal weekend at all Resource Recovery Centres 14 – 15 November 2015 The “No Charge” Green Waste Weekend is for Shire residents or ratepayers only, with green waste to be delivered only from residential vehicles and trailers. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste accepted.

Resource Recovery Centres are located in Truemans Road Rye, McKirdys Road Tyabb and Watt Road Mornington. Opening hours are from 8.00am until 5.00pm Saturday and Sunday.

Please note that due to the popularity of this event delays are to be expected at the Resource Recovery Centres, particularly at the beginning and the end of each day.

Mornington can only accept up to 3 cubic metres of green waste per trip.

Proof of residency is required to dispose of green waste for no charge on this weekend; for example your driver’s licence or a copy of your rates notice.

Green Waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber.

Residents are also reminded that they can contact the Shire to opt-in to receive a kerbside green waste for those living in the urban area. There is a cost for this service.

“NO CHARGE”

GREEN WASTE WEEKEND 14-15 NOVEMBER at all Resource Recovery Centres

For more information about the green waste weekend or the op-in kerbside green bin collection service, please contact customer service at the shire on: 1300 850 600 or visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au Southern Peninsula News 3 November 2015

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Long awaited ‘Caste’ opens Tuesday Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE annual meeting of the Tyabb Annual Picnic will be held on Monday evening next at 8 o’clock. *** THE “Wattles” Club are holding one of their popular dances tonight (Saturday) when a good time is expected.

One shilling will be charged for admission, and a good supper will be provided. *** WORD has been received at the Frankston Post Office, that on and after the 1st November mails will be due at Frankston at 2.39 p.m. daily, in lieu of 6.11 p.m. as formerly. *** WE have received some schedules and entry forms, relating to the Moorabin Show which will be held at Cheltenham, on the 13th inst.

The proceeds are being devoted to the Australian Sick and Wounded Soldiers Fund, and we understand that quite a number of donations in goods have been received, which will be offered by auction by Mr W. P. Fairlam on the day of the Show. Entries close on the 9th November at the Show office, Cheltenham. *** THE name of Sapper Harold T. H. Reeve appears in the list of those who have died of wounds at Gallipoli. He was the nephew of Messrs C. and T. Cooper, of Frankston, 26 years of age, and followed the occupation of a plummer.

Though he enlisted from Euroa, he

was well known in this district, and was a member of the Malvern and Dandenong brass bands, for both of which he did service as a cornet player. He leaves a father and brother, who reside at Rutherglen. *** THE members of St Paul’s Club, Frankston, have been putting through a big double task in preparing scenery as well as learning and rehearsing their parts in the great three act com edy “Caste,” which is to be staged at Carrum on Tuesday night, and at Frankston on Wednesday night.

The new scenery has been made on new and special lines, and is parti cularly adapted for quick changes be tween the acts. It comprises two separate interiors, and represents a spacious drawing room and a common living room.

The play itself is one of the finest comedies ever staged. It combines farce, burlesque, high class comedy and touching drama, in never ending variety. Written forty years ago, for the Prince of Wales’ Theatre, London, it was recently produced at large theatres in Sydney and Melbourne.

Its theme is one of never failing interest, the law of caste and the meaning of social distinctions. In spite of the great difficulties which attend the staging of such a farce as this, the offering by St Paul’s Club should be well worth seeing.. The rehearsing has been thorough going and the players are well suited to their parts. There will be one or two musical items, as well as the comedy.

As the piece is not short, the audience is requested to be started by eight o’clock sharp. *** A somewhat novel provision has been incorporated in the Justices Act, consolidated, and it is now law. Where a person who is in gaol is prepared to pay a part of his fine the governor of the gaol can accept it and, calculating what portion of the total sentence it represents, deduct that time from the sentence.

If, for instance, a man has been fined a pound and can pay 10s his sentence in default of payment would be reduced by half. This system has been in vogue for some time in New South Wales, where it has been found to work well, and its adoption here meets with the approval of the Crown Law officers, *** THE prolific growth of crops this season is causing officials at the Lands department apprehension of dangers by fire. It has therefore been deemed necessary to issue a very special caution as to the lighting of fires and burning off.

The Minister of Lands invites the cooperation and assistance of all concerned in minimising the risk that must inevitably occur during the approaching summer season.

Wherever possible assistance is to be given to Australian fruit growers to obtain insulated space for perishable goods on transports. *** MR Jensen, Minister for the Navy,

stated on Wednesday that the Director of Transport Captain Clarkson, had recommended to him that a conference should be held with the fruit growers in Australia with regard to their wants over the coming shipping season.

The Minister added that it was his intention, therefore, to have a conference held in about ten days time in Melbourne with a view to ascertaining the amount of insulated space required upon the transports.

Wherever it is possible he intended to assist the fruitgrowers to get their perishable goods on the market in Londod during the months of February, March, April, and May. *** “Polly my pet, my brightest little batswing. and most brilliant burner” Sam the gasman in “Caste.” *** ON Tuesday evening 16th November, the Hon Samuel Mauger (Greatest Temperance Reformer in Australia) will lecture in the local town hall.

The lecture will be on “The War and its affects.” On Thursday evening last the business people of this town met in the hall to discuss the best ways and means of assisting the band. The band is worthy of assistance and it was agreed to hold a concert and dance on November 19th. The programme for the concert will consist of Melbourne and local talent. The following officers were duly elected.— Chairman Mr R. Davis; secretary, Mr E T Kinninmont; treasurer, Mrs O’Neill; committee, Messrs H Knox, P. Ryan, D. Hoban, A. T. Denison, A. Campbell,

F. Strickland, A. Perrot, G. Hoglund(?) and Mrs Kay. “M’ladyship, you and me’d have a dream together on the quiet.” Eccles, in “Caste.” *** AN error crept in the paragraph devoted to the Langwarrin Tennis Club last issue. Mr Herbert Oates was the winner of the racket and press, not Mr H Carrs, as reported. *** TWO of our young men, W.Thomas and Leo.McNally, have entered into partnership as market gardeners to supply the residents cost to the railway station. They do not intend to compete for outside local trade. Any surplus supplies will be sent to Melbourne for export. We wish them every success. *** MISS Gillard, who succeeded Mr H Tidiman, as health teacher of the local state school here, is proving very painstaking with the scholars, and good results are to be expected at the examinations to be held this month. *** AT a committee meeting it was decided to asphalt the floor of the shelter shed of the school. Mr G. Upton was elected correspondent and Mr P.J.Murray treasurer. It was decided to grant a school holiday one day this month to enable scholars to attend the Methodist Sunday School picnic. *** VERY few of our punters picked Patrobas for the Cup. In one instance a soldier invested £5 and won £100.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Captain Tightpants and the exploding casserole of death

By Stuart McCullough WITH the benefit of hindsight, I am not proud of my behaviour. Frankly, I could have been more compassionate, more sympathetic. But in your late teens and early twenties, ‘nuance’ is something of a stranger and every emotion is extreme.

I was no different in this regard. It was these traits together whether a lack of guile that can only be described as ‘spectacular’ that made me a truly lousy housemate.Share house living is an experience best enjoyed as nostalgia. As wonderful as it is, it’s a time in your life that you spend the rest of your days trying never to repeat. I remember it as a shock to the system. One day, you’re living at home with your parents and in danger of being grounded if you so much as leave a pair of socks on the ground. The next you’re in squalor, surrounded by anarchy and setting secondhand furniture on fire in an attempt to keep warm.

I lived with all kinds of people. From artists to religious zealots to new age hippies and engineers. There were insomniacs and those who hibernated until well after noon. Left wing, right wing, chicken wing: I cohabitated with them all.

As for me, a reasonable description might be ‘steadfastly uptight’. But as uptight as I was, it was nothing compared to one guy I lived with.

I shouldn’t use his real name. For all I know, he’s mellowed out and is now the nicest guy in the world. For the sake of anonymity, let’s call him ‘Winston Churchill’. No, wait – I can do better. Perhaps ‘Captain Tightpants’ is a more suitable name. Me and the Captain lived with another guy who, although entirely reasonable and normal should also be awarded the cloak of anonymity so I’m going to call him ‘Chuck D’.

The three of us lived in a share house in Clayton.

We were all quite different; the Captain, Chuck and I. What we had in common was our domestic ineptitude. None of us could cook or had any idea how to run a household. Wide-eyed and witless, we simply did the best we could. Back then, the cornerstone of my culinary repertoire was a dish I now refer to as ‘cheese glue with tuna’. Frankly, I was a hopeless cook. The Captain, on the other hand, was not quite as good as I was.

I’m not sure what its official title was. Perhaps ‘the slab’. Consisting of mixed vegetables doused in an anonymous syrup, crowned with a layer of burnt chops as some kind of carnivorous canopy; all poured into a glass casserole dish and frozen solid. When Captain Tightpants produced this solidified chunk of yuck from the deep freeze of the Kelvinator, I had my doubts. These doubts quickly transformed to outright suspicion as the Captain proceeded to cook his frozen-solid mon-

PAGE 48

Southern Peninsula News 3 November 2015

strosity by plonking it on the stovetop and cranking up the heat way, way up.

The coil turned a bright, sulfuric red. The slab groaned as the heat and deep-freeze wrestled with each other. When it gave way, it sounded like thunder. With a ‘crack’, the glass casserole dish exploded, sending vegetable remnants and the chop covering in all directions across the kitchen. I’ll admit, I found it somewhat amusing.

That, or so I thought, was the last I’d see of the slab.

But I was so very wrong. When dinner was served, it looked a lot like post-explosion vegetable casserole. Granted, as a result of the force of the blast, it was hard to recognize anything much.

Demanding an explanation, I was told by Captain Tightpants that he’d saved the meal by scraping off the blast debris into a saucepan and reheating it. Lifting the first forkful, I could see shards of glass sticking out. I instantly declared I would eat not one mouthful on occupational health and safety grounds. Chuck D needed little persuading and joined my boycott. We quickly let the table; electing, instead, to get fish and chips. The Captain ate every last morsel.

A more mature person might have steered clear and avoided conflict. Or maybe even found a new place to live. I, however, was not a mature person. I decided that the best way to deal with such a delicate situation was to write a story about it and submit it to a radio station. It was, apparently, read out with some fanfare. Frankly, I spilled my guts more than I ought to have. I wrote about the time the Captain tore down a picture of musician Paul Kelly on the grounds that he ‘looked Satanic’, choosing to omit that I had then put it up again after defacing it through the addition of horns and a tail. I recounted his violin playing that, to me at least, sounded like a mosquito death-spiral, leaving out the fact that I owned an acoustic guitar and was prone to caterwauling of my own.

I didn’t hear them read it out. But I knew I’d crossed a line when parishioners from Captain Tightpant’s church turned up at the house to stage an intervention. At the time, I was predictably unrepentant. But now, with the benefit of hindsight, I have come to regret my actions. As is the way with share houses, we each drifted in our own direction and I have no idea what became of the Captain. Maybe he mellowed out. Part of me likes to think he became a chef. But wherever you may be, dear Captain Tightpants, I wish you well. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Music  Arts  Food THE MOUNTAIN: A COMING OF AGE

By Melissa Walsh Lachlan Bryan is back and forth from his house in Richmond and Mt Eliza but still calls the peninsula home.

“Shaun Ryan, our bass player, helped a lot with the vocals too, and this album we concentrated a lot more on the singing as the sound.”

The 34-year-old country music sensation has done the peninsula proud with his band Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes since their album debut six years ago.

For the release of this record, Bryan says he’s grown a mountain climber’s beard, and reckons he needs it.

The dynamic team has since had three hit albums and released their fourth, The Mountain, on 25 September.

The highly anticipated album comes two years after their smash hit, 2013’s Black Coffee, which won the 2014 Golden Guitar for Alternative Country Album of the Year and The Age Music Victoria Award for Best Country Album of the Year. The album, which debuted at number 12 on the ARIA Australian Albums Charts, confirmed Bryan as one of Australia’s finest new country singers and songwriters.

The Alternative Country and Folk band released their much awaited album last week, coinciding with a national tour.

Billed as Bryan’s most personal album yet, The Mountain features 12 brand new songs recorded in his hometown of Melbourne.

“The songs on the new album are definitely more personal, and a sign I think that we are maturing as musicians. It’s not just about the music, it’s about telling a story,” says Bryan. “When I first started writing

“There’s blood in these songs, between the lines and the back story. It’s the most personal we have done,” says Bryan of the landmark recording from one of the country’s most versatile collectives.

songs I was influenced by people like Bob Dylan and Tom Waites, who write more about other people. I decided to dig deep and write from my own personal experience for this album.”

Bryan says the reason it’s called The Mountain is to signify the journey.

“It’s like a coming of age album, with a personal element of the journey of going through hard times. When you reach the top of the mountain you realise it’s all about the journey, and that you still have to come

back down, and find another peak to climb,” he says.

For Bryan and the rest of the band, this album has been particularly enjoyable to make.

“We took longer to write and record this one. Our drummer, Mat Duniam, who’s a Frankston boy, did all the arrangements for the horn section, and had a lot of input into the songs,” says Bryan, who first met Duniam on a train on the Frankston line.

Recording The Mountain in the studio, Bryan was joined by drummer Mat Duniam, bassist Shaun Ryan, and guitarist Damian Cafarell, alongside legendary session player James Gillard (Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers), pianist Ben Grayson (The Bamboos), and pedal steel player Seamus O’Sullivan (Ruby Boots, Bakersfield Glee Club).

The Mountain has been called Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes at “their careworn, uncluttered best. Lacquered throughout with nostalgic guitar parts straight out of the Sun Records playbook, the album traverses dancehall rock’n’roll, heartworn alt. countryAmericana, and freewheeling rockabilly.”

To coincide with the album’s release Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes will be playing at The Caravan Club on Saturday 7 November. lachlanbryan.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Wickets tumble at Mt Eliza PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully IT was a tough day for batsmen in ordinary conditions on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket.

The result was 16 wickets falling in the match between top teams Mt Eliza and Baxter.

Mt Eliza won the toss and elected to bat in the round three match at Emil Madsden Reserve but things went pearâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;shaped after the openers in Tim Clarke (30) and Chris Whisbey (16) went out.

Other than Brendan Jovic at 11, the

Mt Eliza batsmen failed to get into double figures.

The likes of Justin Grant (4), Tim Stickland (5) and Keith Briggs (4) all failed with the bat and the home team was bowled out for just 111.

Chamika Sattambi made it 13 wickets in three matches after snaring 5/26 from 12.1 overs.

Ben Brittain bowled eight overs, had four maidens and took 2/16.

Baxter was certainly in the box seat going out to bat. However, at stumps, the visitors were reeling at 6/74.

Openers Shane McComb and Daniel Lanati were both dismissed with

the score on five and Daniel Warwick fell for 13 when the score was on 26.

Four runs later, Chris Brittain (10) was back in the sheds.

Todd Quinn (13) and Leigh Paterson (10) will resume not out this week while Ben Brittain is more than handy with the bat also.

One senses this one will go to the wire.

Jovic was the pick of the bowlers for the Redlegs with 4/20 from nine overs.

Pines has set Moorooduc 188 for victory after the home side survived 72 overs on Saturday.

Jeremy Weare returned for the

Piners and had an immediate impact, opening with 30, while Pat Jackson contributed 28 batting at four. Rhys Chalkley (35) was also a significant contributor at seven.

Moorooduc skipper Leigh Lambert was the best of the bowlers with 5/41 from 18.2 overs.

In reply, the Ducs are 0/2.

Rye is once again in terrible shape, this time against Crib Point.

The Demons are staring at another outright loss after being bowled out for 67 in the first innings on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve.

Andrew Hitchener was again the

Rye batsman to contribute on the scoreboard with 15, while Andrew Dunn scored 17.

Glen Barclay was sensational for the Magpies, picking up nine wickets.

Brad Arnold prevented Barclay from picking up all 10.

The Magpies then put together a quick fire 6/106 with Luke Herrington smacking 55 and Ricky Thompson an unbeaten 24 before sending the Demons back into bat at the end of the day.

Rye will resume at 2/26, still 13 runs behind with eight wickets in hand.

Tigers tame Panthers DISTRICT

By IT Gully SEAFORD Tigers has put itself in a strong position to pick up the 12 points after taming the Pearcedale Panthers in District cricket on Saturday.

The newly promoted Panthers have started the 201516 season in sensational fashion, winning their first two matches, however they did stumble against the Tigers on Saturday.

It was only a few seasons ago that these sides were playing against each other in Sub District.

The Panthers batted first and were rolled for just 128.

Shane Maggs (34) and Shayne Gillings (40) were the only batsmen to offer any resistance, while Brad Trotter did open with 15 and Chris Dew hit 16.

Jordan Watters, who has promised to burst onto the scene for a number of seasons, was superb for the Tigers with the new ball, snaring 5/57 off 22 overs.

The evergreen Ash Mills was also on top of his game yet again with 3/12.

In reply, Anthony Joel is already back in the sheds courtesy of Dew (1/1) after the Tigers had to face the last two overs of the day. They will resume at 1/7.

Boneo has set Red Hill a reasonable target for victory after scoring 182 themselves on Saturday up at the hill.

Batting first, the Pandas scored their highest total of the year and put themselves in a reasonable position to challenge on day two.

Tom McCarthy has taken this competition by the scruff of the neck for Red Hill, picking up 5/33 to add to his six wickets in round two. He has 11/68 from 42 overs with 20 maidens in two matches.

Andrew Mock and Lincoln Toy each claimed two wickets.

In reply, the Hillmen are 0/10.

Carrum will need to bat better than it has in the opening two matches of the season to get the 176 runs required to beat Mt Martha.

The Reds batted first on Saturday and made 175, thanks largely to 45 runs from wicket keeper/batsman Ben Shorthouse, who batted at three, 29 from Brett Wilkinson and 20 from Tim Moran.

Jeremy Graves was the pick of the Carrum bowlers, opening with 3/29, while Liam Dobson and Jake Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri each snared two wickets.

In reply, Carrum faced the last three overs of the day and will resume at 0/5.

Bowling into the record books: Glenn Barclay took 9/24 off 18 overs against Rye on Saturday; a Crib Point Cricket Club record. Picture: Ricky Thompson Southern Peninsula News 3 November 2015

WHILE most MPNFL clubs went off the boil in recent times to allow players to enjoy some post-season rest and relaxation, it now appears that the ‘silly season’ is starting to heat up.

The Toe Punt Facebook page has been busy during the week. Here’s a snapshot of what is being talking about.

Hillmen on the move Red Hill has been very busy, signing s number of players.  Ben Jacobson, 6’5 ruckman ex Tyabb, former elite basketballer.  Sean Marchetti, 30yo hard on baller, two time premiership player with Cora-Lynn, has played eastern district league and Casey with Beaconsfield F.C.  Luke Marchetti, 21yo running half back, is a triple premiership player with Cora-Lynn, former TAC player with Sandringham Dragons.  Mitch Wallace 22yo CHB (pictured below) strongly built, mobile triple premiership player with Cora-Lynn, former TAC player and has played Casey Cardinia League.  Adam Marchetti, Cora-Lynn, strongly built U18 interleague player.

In other Red Hill club news, veteran club administrator Jim White has taken over as President of the club replacing Roger Siversen, Roger will stay with the club and assist with sponsorship and marketing.

In other news  Chris Hay has returned to Karingal after spending a couple of seasons at Tarwin.  Sorrento has signed 25-year-old key forward/ruckman and three times State VAFA representative centre half forward Nick Corp.

He was runner up in Old Collegians B&F in A Grade Amateurs last year.  Sorrento is also in deep discussions with a multiple peninsula league team of the year forward.

 Rye signed Rosebud young-gun Sean Downie, who later withdrew his interest to go to the club to remain at Rosebud. However, Jimmy Jennings and James Appleford have both returned from Dolphins while they have also secured VAFA representative player Harry Witty.  Rosebud has lost gun forward Tom Baker to Casey, while premiership stars Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest have also left. Bristow is going to Parkdale and Forrest, despite what some may say, is tossing up between Parkdale and Sorrento.  Former Rye and Pines coach Steve Ryan is now in charge at St Bedes/Mentone.  Mt Eliza is likely to lose stars Rohan Heasley, Scott Lockwood and Bean Lean in the transition, while Dave Willett has signed at Chelsea as assistant coach.  Edithvale has lost Matt Clark, Brad Tagg and Pat Poore to Foster to play with Nick Connellan and Brent Bowden, Brett O’Hanlon has gone to play in the bush and Tim Mavric and Jordy Derbyshire have gone to Hampton Park.

Benson farewelled Ian Benson, who has been involved in local football for more than 40 years and has served as an administrator for more than 25 years, was made redundant by AFL SE last week.

Benson, who has had a significant impact on the competition in the past three decades, did not fit into the new-look structure of the competition.

The transition from Peninsula Alliance to AFL SE has seen all former administrators, Jeff Jones, Ian Benson and Sue Jones all moved on.

All league directors, who were charged with the responsibility to provide strategic direction and manage financial governance of the competition, were also voted out by clubs earlier this year.

At the end of the current financial year, the MPNFL recorded a loss of $150,000, which eliminated all cash reserves.

Fortunately, the clubs were able to hang-on to their only asset, the MPNFL headquarters at Somerville.
