Pupils ready to take the lead

Future leaders: Sydney Swans star Luke Parker joins pupils Yolunda (St Joseph’s), Millie (Fatima), Will (St Joseph’s) Kaelan (St Macartans) Tully (St Thomas More) and Jack (Fatima) for the schools leadership conference at St Macartans in Mornington. Picture: Gary Sissons

LEADERSHIP is a big word for primary school pupils, but one which could play a big part in their futures.

Last week, 150 year 5 pupils from four peninsula catholic primary schools attended a leadership conference at St Macartans, Mornington.

They came from Our Lady of Fatima Rosebud, St Thomas More Mt Eliza, St Joseph’s Sorrento and St Macartans.

The pupils involved themselves in leadership workshops run by teachers from each of the schools throughout the day. They also listened to guest speakers and received leadership tips and inspiration.

Dunkley MP Bruce Billson opened proceedings, but perhaps the pupils’ main interest was listening to, and interviewing, Sydney Swans 2014 Best and Fairest winner Luke Parker, who is from Langwarrin.

Parker played for Dandenong Stingrays as a 16-year-old, winning the club’s best and fairest award.

Family lore is that his father had to build a new cabinet to house all his junior trophies: eight from under nines through to under 16s.

After lunch the pupils heard from, and questioned, some year 10 Padua College students on leadership at secondary school.

Pier not ready for Christmas Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE replacement of Mornington pier’s outer 75-metre section is unlikely to be completed in time for Christmas due to bad weather.

The News understands Parks Victoria’s contractor has lost up to seven weeks because of three storms this year,

and the pier will not be ready until the end of February, weather permitting.

Earlier this year Parks Victoria said the pier would be ready for Christmas if the contractor was not held up by inclement weather.

Work is about 75 per cent completed with the last of many concrete pours occurring two weeks ago.

The installation of 80 wave screen panels started last week with five

placed on Thursday before strong wind halted work.

The lifting team and a diver were twiddling their thumbs on Friday as they waited for conditions to improve.

The concrete panels, made in Geelong, are stored in Carbine Way near Mornington racecourse.

Stainless steel handrails are being fabricated in Geelong and will contain many small lights.

Handrails will also be installed on the middle, 53-metre section of the pier, which was replaced in 2010-11 at a cost of $3.5 million.

Contractor Johnson Constructions has been using the middle section for its sheds and equipment during construction, and this will be moved and the middle section opened in time for Christmas, providing some joy for fishers and walkers.

In May 2012 the state government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer section with its 125 pylons, which had been closed since 2010 after storms damaged pylons and dislodged top deck planks in April, August and September.

The money was the lion’s share of the government’s $23 million for local port infrastructure upgrades.

Cr Colomb mayor for second time Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au BEV Colomb is the new mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire.

It is Cr Colomb’s second mayoral term as she was “first among equals” in 2007-08. She replaces Cr Antonella Celi of Seawinds Ward. Cr Graham Pittock, also of Seawinds, was elected deputy mayor.

One of three Briars Ward councillors, Cr Colomb is the 19th mayor since the “super” shire was formed from Mornington, Hastings and Flinders shires in late 1994 (three Kennett government-appointed commissioners ran the municipality until councillors were first elected in 1997).

The shire has had five women mayors – Judith Graley in 2000-01 (now state Labor MP), Anne Shaw in 2004 and 2008-09, Bev Colomb 2007-08 and 2014-15, Lynne Bowden 2012-13 and Antonella Celi 2013-14.

Cr Shaw served a shortened term in 2004 as the state government altered the election cycle.

Cr Colomb’s election to the $87,000 job means the shire has had three women mayors in a row, unusual in Victoria.

She was elected at the shire’s annual general meeting on Monday 10 November, with Briars Ward colleague Andrew Dixon the only other candidate. Cr Dixon voted for himself and received votes from Crs Anne Shaw and David Garnock.

Cr Colomb grew up in Mornington, and was elected to represent the town in November 2005 when she narrowly defeated sitting councillor John Tran-

First among equals: Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new mayor Cr Bev Colomb (second from left front) with her colleagues (back row) Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, Tim Rodgers, Graham Pittock, Hugh Fraser, Tim Wood, David Gibb, (front row) Anne Shaw, outgoing mayor Antonella Celi and Lynne Bowden.

tino. Mornington Ward was folded into the larger, three-councillor Briars Ward in early 2012, joining Balcombe Ward (Mt Martha) and Mt Eliza Ward.

The new mayor has been a business owner, was executive officer of Mornington Community Contact House,

and has recently been teaching governance at Frankston TAFE. In her acceptance speech, Cr Colomb said the council had “an opportunity to look at everything freshly”.

This was taken as an oblique reference to the departure last Friday of

long-time CEO Michael Kennedy, who has had his contract paid out. Dr Kennedy’s contract expires in February next year.

Cr Colomb said “as a team we will be able to rise to the challenges and opportunities the next 12 months bring”.

“I look forward to working with all of you – community leaders, councillors, officers and all levels of government – to provide an environment that allows protection of all that we hold important and also gives us best practise to ensure the health and wellbeing of the peninsula for years to come.

“We are preparing our own peninsula planning statement to be endorsed by the state government showing that the peninsula is near Melbourne but, importantly, not part of it.

“Having taught volunteers, young adults and many students involved in the development of our community, I am very aware of the needs and aspirations of our diverse population.

“One of my main aims as a councillor is to assist and support, where and when needed, anyone wishing to help others or protect that which we all hold dear. After many years of working in the community sector I am concerned about the lack of employment and education opportunities offered on the peninsula for both older and younger generations.

“We have a terrific community on our peninsula. To me our community’s participation is our greatest asset and our commitment will be to work with you all.”

Cr Colomb invited residents to contact her to “share information or discuss issues”.

“For general enquiries, assistance, appointments and invitations, call Councillor Support on 5950 1428.

To contact me, call 5977 0612, mobile 0418 506 638 or email colomb@ mornpen.vic.gov.au.”

Exit, stage right, with a chuckle and a tear Mornington Peninsula Shire annual general meeting, 6 pm, 10 November, Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Followed by a superb light supper with wine and soft drink to suit all tastes, with the opportunity to congratulate new mayor Cr Bev Colomb, outgoing mayor Antonella Celi and all councillors. A nice night’s entertainment.

IT WAS Antonella Celi’s night. Well, at first it was. The outgoing mayor’s ebullience and skill at ensuring she is front and centre was in full, fragrant flower.

Word had swirled around the shire that she would be positively responsive to another year in the job, clearly one in which she enjoyed the opportunity to meet, greet, implement, initiate and congratulate, usually with a camera not too unadjacent.

As evidence of her energy and the range of activities Cr Celi undertook over her 12 months, her review of the year was accompanied by a vast and, it appeared, unending slide show. Not a ribbon was cut, not a presentation was made. Council Watch’s physical structure seemed to fail, confronted by this endless energy.

CW declines to use the cliché “boundless energy”: there was no lack of mayoral bound in 2014.

Was a single blade of grass severed anywhere in the shire without the imprimatur of this relentless human version of

PAGE 4

the cartoon Tasmanian devil? This was a single-councillor council at work.

Could she handle another year of such activity? Phah! A mere bagatelle!

The pictures – readers may have noticed many mayoral snaps appeared in local papers and in the shire publication PeninsulaWide, sometimes several to a page – were accompanied by the outgoing mayor’s review of having “the best job in the world” for 12 months.

As expected, she “had something prepared”, but warned the room we all knew by now she might get “a bit teary” in her presentation. And she did, which was OK with us.

“It has been an absolute honour to lead this council over the past 12 months and serve an amazing community that has been so supportive and encouraging of my role,” she began.

Her term had been “robust and challenging”, a highlight of which was delivery of the long-awaited Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement – the shire being first council to have such a planning statement.

A further highlight was having her portrait entered in the Archibald Prize.

This was a “very unique experience”.

Cr Celi felt humbled to be chosen as a subject. The portrait didn’t feature in the prize list, but it was “a fantastic memento”. It was the “longest time I ever sat absolutely still and that was an effort,” she told the chamber.

Everyone got thanked, from her “righthand ladies” (you know who you are), CEO, directors, all the staff, fellow councillors, “who offered me both their challenges and support” – indeed, the entire peninsula community was invoked.

Her most memorable day? It started

Mornington News 18 November 2014

Unique experience: Cr Celi said she was humbled to have been chosen as the subject for a potrait that was entered into this year’s Archibald Prize. Picture: Yanni

in Portsea with a fine dining breakfast and speech at a fundraiser, progressed to lunch in Mt Eliza to launch a sustainability program and ended back at her “patch” in Rosebud West with fish and chips at a community event; a day of amazing diversity.

She thanked her family, ending with a word of advice. “When we get home I think you can take away that cardboard cutout of me that’s sitting at the dining room table,” she said. “I’ll be home probably a little bit more often.”

All that said, it was time to elect Cr Celi’s replacement. Cr Tim Rodgers nominated Cr Bev Colomb, and Cr David Garnock threw Cr Andrew Dixon’s hat into the ring.

The poll would be conducted alphabetically, chair Celi decided, with A for Andrew pipping B for Bev – demonstrating the informality of council, since C for

Colomb pips D for Dixon if one takes the more normal and formal alphabetical option. Imagine a phone book with first names first.

Cr Dixon drew support from Briars Ward colleague Cr Anne Shaw, getting three votes. Cr Colomb was duly elected.

Thanking her colleagues for their support, Cr Colomb said that “as a team we will be able to rise to the challenges and opportunities the next 12 months bring.

The passion and energy is here to serve our community on the peninsula well”.

With the skills and experience around the council table, the work recently started would continue on to fruition, she said.

“We have an opportunity to look at everything freshly. As the first of 11 [councillors] I will be representing the will of council. I know already we are deeply committed to reviewing our services and

this process will involve our residents and all our officers.

“We are entering an exciting stage of this council’s development. I make my own commitment to facilitate a transparent and inclusive process.”

Cr Shaw thanked Cr Celi for her performance as mayor. “If there was an event on the peninsula, an AGM, presentation or gathering, Antonella was there,” she said, “always punctual, dressed for success and never a hair out of place.” And she ran a good meeting, Cr Shaw said.

Cr David Gibb followed with a tribute to former CEO Michael Kennedy, who did not attend the meeting.

Dr (then Mr) Kennedy took a pay cut to join Mornington Peninsula Shire from Boroondara council in February 1999, Cr Gibb said.

The new CEO melded the disparate cultures of the newly amalgamated shire, “breaking down the old shire boundaries, building a shared vision or ethos”.

“He oversaw the formation of the Sustainable Peninsula ethos – where environmental, social and economic goals have to all have cognisance of each other,” Cr Gibb said.

Dr Kennedy’s other achievements included securing for the shire Police Point at Point Nepean, the peninsula planning statement, getting better value for money for contracted services, greater opportunities for young people, and improved public transport.

His 15-year term at the shire “leaves us very well placed to ensure that the opportunities and challenges of the future are continually met”, Cr Gibb said.

Life’s a beach for boat shed buyers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT’S that time of the year again: beach fun in the summer sun, sparkling seas and – if you are lucky – your own boat shed.

Some beach-going families couldn’t do without their mini homes by the water and sales are picking up with a reported 20 bathing boxes for sale, several along the Mornington and Mt Martha foreshores.

Many have been in the same families for generations, passing down through children’s children and filling with dinghies, fishing gear, beach toys and shade umbrellas.

Asking prices vary, too – much like houses - from the low $30,000s to more than $230,000, depending on the size, location and beach chutzpah.

One, at 50 South Beach, Mt Martha, is on the market for $238,000.

The August sale of a shed at North Beach fetched $185,000-$195,000.

Another, smaller shed at Mills Beach, Mornington, is “seeking an offer” of $30,000.

The price for the unpowered 18.87 square metre Mt Martha boat shed will equate to $12,600 a square metre if a buyer can be tempted to match the asked-for price.

Abode Real Estate agent Paul Brown is sure “common ground” will be reached between a keen potential buyer and the owners, adding confidently: “It’ll sell.”

“The bathing box and boat shed market is very seasonal. When the overall property market is slow they tend to come onto the market, pos-

sibly to provide liquidity to the vendors. Often they change hands in cash transactions, which is very attractive to a vendor.”

He said some people “sell their box and then regret losing that luxury” while others – perhaps older ‘downsizers’ – are happy to see them go to young families who will use them more frequently.

Nicholas Lynch agent Leanne Williams passed-in a fully furnished boat shed at Rosebud for $65,000 last week. It is now on the market for $80,000.

She said potential buyers were showing interest – with one in the mix bidding from Tasmania.

“The appeal of the sheds is the lifestyle option they offer,” she said.

“You can store everything you need for down the beach.”

Ms Williams should know: she set a record price for the sale of her own – powered - boat shed at Dromana: $205,500.

It’s not just buy-and-forget, either: the new owners have to factor in swags of other fees and charges, depending on the location.

These may include transfer fees on either the shed’s capital improved value or the sale price, GST and foreshore improvement charges, as well as rates.

“You don’t find many first home buyers looking at boat sheds,” she said. “They are normally passed down through families or they are bought by couples over 50 whose kids have left home. They are a discretionary purchase; you can’t borrow against them.”

Beachfront bargain:This Mt Martha boat shed (centre) is on the market for $238,000.

Mornington agent Conley Luff has three bathing boxes on the market.

Sales agent Rod Morahan said they were ideal for those with growing families living away from the beach.

“You can store all your gear inside without having to load up the car every time you head down to the beach.”

He cited box No. 9 at Mills Beach, priced at $155,000. At 3.8 by 2.7 metres it has plenty of room for family and friends, as well as a 2.7 by 2.4 metre slide-out deck.

Another – at No. 34 Shire Hall beach - is all dressed up in Australia Day colours. The two by two metre

box has a deck overlooking the boat harbour and pier. The vendors are asking $100,000.

A colourful bathing box at No. 77 Fisherman’s Beach measures three by 1.8 metres and has a 1.2 metre covered deck. The asking price is $150,000 negotiable.

Continued from Page 1 When completed, the government will have spent about $18.5 million on the pier since 2010.

The town’s iconic, 123-metre long pier – a version of which has existed in Mornington for more than 155 years – is used by two million visitors

a year and is the second-most visited pier on Port Phillip, Mornington MP David Morris said.

In June 2011, The News reported the outer section was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of wooden pylons had failed or were about to fail and were not sup-

porting the top deck.

About half of the remaining 80 per cent were in “average condition� and the outer section was one big storm away from becoming irreparable damaged.

Luckily, on that occasion the storm did not arrive.

Government commits to $3.9m roads upgrade Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A NEW roundabout will be constructed at the intersection of Coolart and Hodgins roads in Tuerong at a cost of more than $3.5 million while the intersection of the Nepean Highway, Main St and Mornington-Tyabb Rd will also be upgraded, the state government announced last week.

Mornington MP David Morris said a combined $3.9 million in funding had been allocated for the two “major road safety projects”, while further funding would also be provided to install pedestrian operated signals at the southern end of Main St if the Coalition was re-elected at this month’s poll.

The Coalition government will provide $3.538 million for Tuerong project to address the site’s “significant crash history”, which has included two serious injury crashes and one fatality over a five-year period to the end of 2013.

“Most of the crashes that we are seeing at this site are because drivers are having difficulty selecting safe gaps to access Coolart Road,” Mr Morris said. “Due to the high traffic volumes, drivers are more likely to be impatient and are turning in front of oncoming vehicles, and unfortunately this is resulting in crashes. “ Mr Morris said that given intersection’s proximity to the beach, there was a significant increase in traffic, especially during the warmer months..

The state government will also provide $397,000 to overhaul Mornington’s busiest intersection at the corner of Nepean Highway, Main St and Mornington-Tyabb Rd, where 14 casualty crashes, including two serious injury crashes, had occurred in the five years to December 2013.

He said accidents at the intersection were mainly due to right-turning traffic not giving way to oncoming traffic, and drivers running red lights.

“Works to improve safety and traffic flow at this intersection will include providing a fully controlled right turn phase outside of the morning and evening peak times,” Mr Morris said.

“This will mean drivers turning right onto Nepean Highway during those times will have a dedicated right turn arrow signal showing red and green and won’t have to look for a break in oncoming traffic anymore.”

During the morning and evening peak, the signals will revert back to the current partially controlled system, meaning the red right-turn arrow will drop off to allow drivers to enter the intersection and wait for a break in traffic to turn right onto the highway.

Mr Morris visited Main St last Thursday to announce that a re-elected Napthine government would provide an unspecified amount of funding to install “much needed” pedestrian signals at the southern end of the street.

He said the stretch of Main St between the Nepean Highway and Cromwell St had become increasingly busy in terms of foot traffic following “substantial” office re-development in the area and a rapidly growing population in the adjoining residential streets.

Government offices, as well as the Mornington Community Information and Support Centre, attracted heavy pedestrian traffic, he said, with many of those visiting the area needing to cross from the opposite side of “a very busy road” “It is certainly not unusual to see people stranded half way across, waiting for a gap in the traffic to complete their crossing,” Mr Morris said “My office has received many enquiries about the need for a pedestrian crossing in this section of Main St, and has sought support for a crossing from both VicRoads and the [Road] Minister’s office on a number of occasions in recent years.”

Drum roll: The Royal Australian Navy Band is set to be joined by Mornington Secondary College’s Youth Drum Corp for a benefit concert for the Blue Ribbon Foundation

Blue Ribbon concert goes Navy FOR the first time in the concert’s history, the peninsula branch of the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation has teamed up with the Royal Australian Navy Band for a concert on Sunday 30 November.

Also on the bill will be Mornington Secondary College’s Youth Drum Corps.

Proceeds will benefit the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation’s peninsula branch, which raises funds for Peninsula Health’s hospitals at Frankston and Rosebud.

The Navy band will perform with the school drum corps, and X Factor runner-up Andrew Wishart. The guest compere is Jane Holmes, of radio stations 3AW 693 and Magic 1278.

At $20 per ticket, this concert has to be the best value in live entertainment on the Peninsula, organisers say.

“We’re thrilled to have the Navy band per-

forming; they’re extremely talented musicians and are fantastic to watch,” Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation peninsula branch president Darryl Nation said.

“There’s a lot of mutual respect between Victoria Police and the Royal Australian Navy.

Both share the same goal: keep Australians safe, even if it means putting our own lives at risk,” he said.

A raffle drawn on the day has worthwhile prizes, including a $500 voucher for Woolworths, Endota spa treatments and Village gold class tickets. To buy raffle tickets call Rhon on 9775 5978.

Blue Ribbon merchandise, including Constable T Bear, will also be available on the day.

This concert is always a sell-out. For tickets visit artscentre.frankston.vic.gov.au or call the box office 9784 1060.

Expo showcases new age of learning

French flavour: Rebecca Mangan’s class at Mornington U3A wore berets, Parisian clothing – and even enjoyed a sip of French champagne.

“USE it or lose it as we get older” was the message from new mayor Cr Bev Colomb when opening the Mornington U3A Spring Expo on last Sunday at the Peninsula Community Theatre.

She said the displays and excellent turnout for the event “reflected the increasing number of activities of U3A within the community and the importance of continuing learning”.

At the expo, tutors and members gave impromptu performances of music, ballroom-dancing and fan dancing between the gingham-clad tables of the Parisienne-styled Café Montmartre.

French class members mingled with visitors and companions wearing berets, chic pencil skirts and fishnet stockings.

Alongside the café - and in the spirit of

Montmartre – visitors saw an exhibition of members’ paintings in oil, acrylics, water colour and drawings.

“The main hall was a spectacle,” publicity officer Joan Yalden said.

Under over-hanging, hand-crafted quilts, U3A president Hans Eisen welcomed visitors. “We are proud to have a great variety of stands displaying interesting activities from courses in languages, literature, music and history, book, film, local and armchair travel, bush-walking and bird-watching and the many other classes and groups,” he said.

The computer course stand backed onto displays from the sciences: astronomy, aviation, electricity and amateur radio. Visitors joined in

games of bridge, mah-jong, chess and trivia, while others tried their hand at juggling. U3A course coordinator Eileen Wilson gave short presentations on brain plasticity during the day. “These are great games for the mind and enjoyable ways of keeping our brains active,” she said.

Other activities included singing, tai chi, line dancing and shake rattle and roll. Craft was another attraction with patchwork, cross stitch, silk art and sculptures on display.

Enrolment day is Wednesday 3 December, with courses beginning in February. Inquiries: classes@u3amornington.org.au or, for enrolment inquiries: database@u3amornington. org.au

Another winning round for Dress for Success IT was success all around for the 68 players and 42 “lunchers” at the annual Bendigo Bank Ladies Golf Classic at Mornington Golf Course recently.

And participants had good reason to smile: their efforts helped raise $12,455 for Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula.

This is the third year this event has supported Dress for Success, which provides disadvantaged or unemployed women with free dressing, suiting and interview training for job interviews, as well as mentoring and personal support.

This ensures the women are more confident, competitive and better prepared as they seek jobs in a tight market.

On a perfect spring day the record field of seasoned and social players took

to the field with the caddies they had “bought” at the Caddies Auction earlier.

The 10 caddies included two local policemen (unbribable), a lycra clad skater, several bank managers (one trying to be Tom Cruise and another Superman), and last year’s winning caddie (Halloween style).

After being auctioned to the highest bidding teams they ensured a flying start to the day’s fund-raising.

Lots of fun and good golf was had by all, with caddies earning their keep looking for errant golf balls. Players enjoyed being pampered with massages from trainees of Chisholm Institute as they went around the course.

Bendigo Bank senior business banking manager Bernadine Geary said the bank’s women (and men) were delighted to support disadvantaged women in a practical way.

Funds raised will help ensure the boutique and training rooms at Frankston continue to provide the caring and professional assistance that volunteers give to clients, and will support an extension of programs to help those struggling to find their feet in the jobs market.

“It is a vital community service, and our bank is all about serving the community,” Ms Geary said.

She was assisted by the Mornington branch’s Kim Walters, and regional manager Simon Sponza, who presented the $12,455 cheque to Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula.

Winners on the day received picnic baskets and hampers from National Credit Insurance Brokers and runners up received meat hampers from Wagstaff Meats.

“The event is looked forward to by

participants, the sponsors are fabulous and generous, and the auctions and raffles very attractive,” Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula president Prue Leggoe said. She thanked

Bendigo Bank and main sponsors Enterprise Architects, Stokes, NCI, Drummond Golf, Replas, Mornington Golf Club, Wagstaff Meats and Lion (wines).

Green wedge land swap on the cards Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au STATE government agencies want to swap government land on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana with bushland owned by Mornington Peninsula Shire next to Arthurs Seat State Park.

The swap has been mooted by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries, and Parks Victoria.

The shire land, known as Concept Spur, is on Seamists Drive off Purves Rd and would become part of the state park.

This was first proposed in 1994 by the nowdefunct Land Conservation Council, the forerunner of Environment Victoria.

The Crown land is at 161-191 Boundary Rd, Dromana, and is known as Parkdale Estate, part of which is Hillview Community Reserve. It is green wedge land.

Concept Spur came on the radar earlier this year when Arthurs Seat Skylift spokesman Simon McKeon told a public meeting 55 hectares of “shire-controlled” land had been identified by shire and Parks Victoria officers as a suitable vegetation offset for clearing at the gondola chairlift bottom station, the 14-16 metre wide gondola corridor up Arthurs Seat, and the top station with its 100-seat cafe.

He said the land would be transferred from shire ownership to Parks Victoria and be included in Arthurs Seat State Park.

But the shire is now saying the land swap is not connected to the chairlift proposal, which was narrowly approved by the council in early June and is being challenged in the Victorian Civil and

Administrative Tribunal by community lobby group Save Our Seat. The case started on 5 November and was still being heard last Friday.

In March, the shire’s manager of statutory planning, Angela Hughes, told The News the “potential transfer of shire-controlled land into Arthurs Seat State Park has been raised as one potential option to achieve the native vegetation offset required by this proposed development [chairlift]”.

She said this would have the benefit of “keeping the offset in our community and may provide a higher degree of protection for the land”.

But the shire appears to have backed away from the land being used as a chairlift offset with shire property manager Yasmin Woods stating in a fact sheet that the gondola could still be built even if the land swap did not go ahead.

She said offset land may be outside the shire or Skylift could pay DEPI to replant native vegetation.

The Concept Spur land of 55 hectares (140 acres) was given to the Shire of Flinders in 1974 when a developer subdivided land west of Purves Rd between Seamists Drive and Waterfall Gully Rd. The land is zoned green wedge and would unlikely ever be rezoned for homes but Lot 15 in the subdivision sold for $1 million three years ago. This would make the 55ha worth at least $8.8 million in the unlikely event it came on the market.

The News understands some shire councillors are unhappy about the lack of information about the land swap and are pursuing more detail from shire officers.

Leading the way: Health Minister David Davis meets with Peninsula Health nurse unit manager Trish O’Neill and registered nurse Vanessa Rees at Frankston Hospital last week.

Research key to future health PENINSULA Health affirmed its commitment to enhancing its position at the forefront of cutting edge medical research during a research conference held at Frankston Hospital last week.

Health Minister David Davis told the more than 80 medical research experts, clinicians and guests assembled at the hospital for the launch the Celebrating Research conference that medical research was now one Victoria’s most important industries.

Mr Davis said recognition of the sometimes unacknowledged work of researchers was crucial to building Melbourne’s expanding global reputation as a research hub and to Peninsula Health’s role as a leading healthcare provider..

“Research is integral to the continuous improvement of the care that the clinicians at Peninsula Health provide to the community,” Mr Davis said.

He said Celebrating Research provided an opportunity to highlight the valuable research undertaken by clinicians across the Mornington Peninsula at Peninsula Health’s campuses at

Frankston, Mornington and Rosebud, in partnership with Monash University. As a teaching health service, links with Monash University have contributed to the growth of Peninsula Health’s research program, with more than 550 clinicians and students having participated since 2007.

The joint appointment of Dr Virginia Plummer between Monash University and Peninsula Health had further enhanced the linking of research projects between the facilities and clinicians,” Minister Davis said.

Peninsula Health chairwoman Nancy Hogan said the relationship would be further enhanced by the recent endorsement by the board of a dedicated research plan.

She said the research plan would foster strong links with other research bodies as well as providing strategic direction and scope to the research capabilities of the organisation.

The Mornington Peninsula’s ageing population and escalating incidence of chronic disease meant it was vital health services continued to evolve in in line with the needs of the community, she said.

No place for nets in fishing ‘mecca’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state government is committed to establishing a world class recreational fishing mecca in Port Phillip Bay – at the expense of commercial netters.

“We recognise the passion Victoria's recreational fishers have for the bay and we want to provide a lasting legacy by preserving it,” Nepean MP Martin Dixon said.

His comments are in response to pleas by the netters to abandon plans – announced by Premier Denis Napthine at Carrum Surf Life Saving Club two weeks ago – to buy back their commercial netting licences over the next four years. (The News, 11/11/2014).

The Premier has pledged $20 million to begin the process if re-elected at the 29 November state election. “There is nothing better than taking your kids and grandkids out for a day on the bay and we wan to ensure the opportunity is preserved into the future.

“The community and recreational fishers have been calling for the removal of net fishing in the bay for some time and we will deliver.”

Mr Dixon said commercial netting would be “phased out” while other commercial fishing, such as long lining, would still be allowed in Port Phillip.

He said of all the fish caught - recreational and commercial – only 4.6 per cent was caught in nets.

“Fish will continue to be sourced [for sale in shops] from outside Port Phillip and Corio bays, through commercial fisheries operating in areas such as Bass Strait.”

Asked if studies had found that commercial netting was not viable or was unsustainable, he said: “This is about the establishment of a recreational fishing mecca.

“The government has invested an unprecedented $16 million over the past four years

Net loss: The livelihoods of fishermen such as Neville and Dalton Hutchins are under threat from the Napthine government’s plans to ban commercial netting within Port Phillip.

through our recreational fishing initiative.

“This is about the careful and sustainable management of the resource with an independent panel undertaking consultation with key stakeholders.

“Our $65 million Better Bay package is part of the next phase of investment in recreational activities around our wonderful bay.”

Mr Dixon acknowledged that locally caught fish was important to the economy “but we need to acknowledge that commercial fishers in Port Phillip and Corio bays currently catch around $4 million worth of fish.

The recreational sector is estimated to be worth $2.3 billion and supports 5200 Victorian jobs.”

He said the government would be working with the industry “to help them transition to non-netting-based commercial fishing and arrangements which reduce the conflict between commercial and recreational fishers.

“Any job losses in the commercial sector may be offset by an increase in the support industries for the recreational sector.”

An independent panel will recommend how the buyback would be structured and how commercial netting will be phased out.

Mr Dixon said the panel would consult with peak bodies such as Seafood Industry Victoria and Victorian Recreational Fishing (VR Fish) and key stakeholder Future Fish, Australian Fishing Trade Association and others.

Denis Napthine for premier – win, lose or draw MRS Emu is perplexed. She has been reading the political popularity polls, now proliferating like blackberries as the state election bears down.

“They don’t make sense.”

She glares at her recumbent spouse who, like many people around election time, tries to make small targets of themselves. The polls are not his fault; her glare suggests they must be.

The Emus have just arrived back from some long striding through the NSW drought district, visiting relos.

Green pastures assaulted their eyes on arrival home this wet peninsula spring.

And here is Premier Denis Napthine, sterling country stock, Liberal blue to the soles of his vet’s gumboots, apparently accelerating down the political skids.

“It doesn’t make sense,” says Mrs E, in a querulous, rising cadence.

She likes Dr Napthine. He speaks her language. “He wasn’t that far behind when we left. In the polls, that is.

What’s happening?”

The Blushing Bride still regards Victoria as the jewel in the Liberal crown. She still thinks Lady Chatterley’s Lover should be banned.

Her favourite monarch is Good Queen Bess. She is an old-fashioned gel. Emu remains silent and alert through the soliloquy, knowing that a Significant Thought is pending.

“But even if Labor wins – (here comes Significant Thought) – Denis is more popular than, ah, Mr Andrews.”

She is thinking aloud; it is a slow process and involves long silences and a furrowed brow. Emus don’t have a lot of brow to furrow.

“Even if Labor wins ...” Emu can almost hear the machinery in his BB’s

cruet grinding slowly and exceeding small, as the poet Longfellow so aptly put it. He must have known an emu, possibly an ancestor on Emu’s distaff side.

“It wouldn’t be democratic for Denis not to be Premier, since he is far more popular than, than, than ...”

Emu takes the cue: “Mr Dan Andrews, dear, the Labor leader.

Mrs Emu has trouble enunciating Labor Party names. PM Julia Gillard was usually “That Woman” or “The Redhead”.

“Mr Andrews is not popular,” the BB states firmly. “Denis gets more votes than he. He should not be Premier because he is so not popular.

But he could be a minister in Denis’s next government. That might make him more popular. Then maybe he could take over as premier some time.”

Emu winces. He senses more Significant Thoughts are on the way.

Should he opine that it’s winner take all in politics, including the premiership? But (Emu argues with himself) talk of premierships would be unwise after the Swans’ recent AFL premiership towelling.

The swan, an elegant, long-necked avian, was the obvious choice for the Emus to support, ahead of Crows, Magpies, Hawks and Eagles. A swan is what Mrs Emu sees in the mirror.

“And he should be entitled to choose some of his ministers for the new

cabinet if Mr, ah, Andrews’ party wins. There’s Mr Guy in planning and Mr Davis in health and Mr Mulder in transport – they all know what they’re doing. That’s what happens in America. The president can choose whoever he likes to be in cabinet, from any source.

“Even actual experts get to govern in America.”

Now Emu gets the triumphant “quod erat demonstrandum” – I have proved my case – look. Emu demurs, but, being an avid advocate of “sponsum, non contra” (Latin for “never contradict your spouse”), remains expressionless and mute. It’s the safest way.

Trials of Upper Gumtree MRS Emu is just back from visiting her sister Ermyntrude who lives in the Shire of Upper Gumtree.

“I’ve heard the most extraordinary story from Ermy,” she said as Emu pretended not to hear her opening gambit and pulled the pages of Weekly Emu Times closer to the eyes.

“Are you listening to me? This could happen in our shire if we’re not careful.”

The Emu Times is folded and placed on the side table. “I’m all ears, dear.”

“Well, Upper Gumtree has been trying to get a pool built on Crown land, part of a state forest, as a majority of councillors thought it would revive one of the shire’s main towns and the site is close to the big waterfall that many people visit.

“The poor dears living in the town have been doing it tough since the timber mill closed and the pine

plantations went bankrupt.” Emu was interested. There’s been a pool battle in our neck of the woods, he thought to himself. “So the majority of Upper Gumtree councillors with backroom support from senior officers and the CEO, a nice Irish man called Mehall MacKenna, managed to win government support to build the pool in the forest.

“They’d been trying for ages but won the jackpot three years ago when that nice man Ted Baillieu won the election, and his small but perfectly formed environment minister gave the OK to build the pool.

“This was to keep the election promise that the local MP had made to his electorate for the forest pool.

“Well it turns out that the bureaucrats in the environment minister’s office were beside themselves that permission had been granted and wanted to wriggle out of it. They got their minister to agree.

“So they strengthened the coastal rules to give the councillors who didn’t want a pool in the forest the ammunition to knock it on the head.

Then the environment minister withdrew his OK for the forest site.

Then the council decided to build the pool in the middle of town. Weren’t they clever?”

Emu’s head was spinning by now.

He strode outside and went for a run in the forest.

Confusion, plus 30% ANOTHER thing to catch the Emus’ attention back at home came from the wireless, a device Mrs Emu likes to have roaring perpetually in the kitchen on Radio Brain Dead. It shakes plates

as it instructs listeners that their lives are tragically incomplete without these pills or that fast, semi-edible substance.

An advert has blasted its way into Emu’s conscious. It was from an electricity and gas retailer. A male voice repeatedly spruiked the massive advantage of switching to this bunch of crafty marketers – it offers a 30 per cent discount if clients pay on time.

Emu did a double-take. Here is spin of a very high order, delivered at ear-destroying volume as if this adds credibility to the words if customers pay on time.

What does this mean? Emu took up his abacus in case the Blushing Bride proposed aligning with this brigade of bawlers. What occurs if customers do not pay on time? Answer: they pay the normal, the standard, charge.

Let’s say you get a $100 bill. Does this mean the “real” price is $130 ($100 plus $30), which you must cough up if you pay late?

But (here Emu invites numerate readers to write in) if the “real” price is $130, shouldn’t you pay that sum minus 30 per cent of $130 – $39 – or $91? Or is the “real” charge even higher?

Emu’s abacus is confused. Help!

George Orwell invented the language “newspeak” in his novel 1984. “Doublethink” is “the act of ordinary people simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct … [the person] is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction,” according to Wikipedia.

A book well worth reading. Even more apt in 2014 than in 1984.

Scholarship scheme scores top marks A BIG “thank you” afternoon tea at Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation in Rosebud last week celebrated the work of the foundation and shared the stories of students who have received scholarships through the Southern Mornington Peninsula Scholarship Program.

Guest speaker Ray Blessing, the CEO of Taskforce Community Agency, spoke about youth issues affecting the Mornington Peninsula.

The access and equity scholarship scheme began last year as a pilot program to help get disadvantaged students into education at Chisholm.

It proved to be a resounding success, and was rolled out this year to provide support for 38 students.

The program will be expanded next year to cover the entire peninsula under the new name MP Connect.

It has also grown in terms of the number of donors signing on and the event at the Rosebud campus was held to thank them their support.

Donors have contributed $31,700, with a further $4000 promised by Rye/Rosebud Rotary and Sorrento Rotary.

Other financial support has been provided by the Bendigo Bank (Rye/Dromana), Southern Peninsula Community Fund Opportunity Shop, Uniting Church Opportunity Shop (Rosebud) and two private donors.

In an initiative led by local resident and pas-

sionate education advocate Ian Predl AM, more than $30,000 has been allocated for 24 scholarships.

A smaller amount has also reserved to provide additional assistance to students encountering difficulty managing their return to education.

Courses cover computing systems, engineering, beauty, salon management, youth work, pathology, beauty therapy, childcare, community services, hairdressing, plumbing and applied learning (VCAL).

Southern peninsula residents can access funding that covers the cost of their tuition as well as support costs, like child care and travelling expenses, to help them return to study through a new scholarship initiative.

The scholarships target adult learners who have been out of work and want to up-skill to get back into the workforce, but who are unable to afford the cost of returning to education.

They will receive funds to access education and training at Chisholm, which is the main provider of VET on the Mornington Peninsula.

Administered by the Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation (CCEF), the scholarships aim to break down the barriers facing southern peninsula adults, especially young mothers, in returning to study.

Car show drives cancer quest

SUNDAY

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A CAR show at the Village Green Reserve, Rosebud, on Sunday 30 November will help raise money for the Southern Peninsula Ladies’ fight against cancer.

It is one of the fundraisers being held by the group: eight women and one man, who are competing in the Weekend to End Women’s Cancer benefiting Peter Mac in February.

They are hoping to raise $20,000 through various events, including a trivia night, comedy hypnotists’ night and sausage sizzles.

“Local businesses have been asked to support the group with fundraising and, to date, we have had an overwhelming response,” participant Sharyn Simmonds said.

Southern Peninsula Ladies’ team members are captain Imelda Noonan, Claire Reynolds, Ngaire Sandry, Narelle Mulcahy, Darlene Petersen, Caroline Kellett, Joanne Marchant, Jane Cockbill and John Westwood.

The team was formed six months ago after Ms Noonan accepted the challenge to participate in the cancer fight. This will include taking part in a 60 kilometre walk from 28 February to 1 March.

“Imelda set out to encourage friends and family to participate and a team of nine walkers has been formed,” Ms Simmonds said.

To participate, the team is required to raise a $2000 entry fee.

Ms Noonan and her team got together and came up with some fun fundraising ideas with the help of friends Libby De Fazio, Sharyn Simmonds and Ann McKay. “All of the walkers and fundraising team have, in some way or another, like most of us, been touched by having, knowing or hearing of a person battling some form of cancer,” Ms Simmonds said.

“We, as a whole team, decided not to dwell on these stories but to get out there and make a difference - small or large – to one day end not only women’s cancers but all cancers.

“This has also been rewarding to us by doing something just as meaningful as our busy families and work responsibilities.

“Fundraising is new to all of us and, while not always an easy task, it has been fun and we all have been moved by the generosity of local business and the peninsula community.”

More than 200 cars will be on display at the

car show from 10am-2pm.

The cost to enter is $20. Entrants must preregister at showforcancer@hotmail.com or call Libby on 0414607613. Public entry is by gold coin donation.

Bumper harvest beckons THE fishing in both bays continues to impress, and while it might surprise many, snapper aren't the only species being caught.

Whiting are well and truly starting to move now in both Western Port and Port Phillip.

However the really big catches aren't always coming from the shallow banks, with the deeper waters up to 14m seeming to be the go. Some catches of ting have gone close to the magic one kilogram mark.

As much as snapper and whiting have been the target, angler's bycatch has been equally impressive.

For those chasing snapper, the once elusive ling has made quite a few special guest appearances, while those after whiting and snapper have also been snagging a few nice gummy sharks.

These have made some very welcome additions to the fisherman's basket.

At this time of year, fishing options around the Peninsula are almost

endless – it all comes down to "what floats your boat".

For those after snapper, both bays are fishing well. In Western Port, try Lysarghts and Rhyll. In Port Phillip, fish in 18.5m during the day and the shallows during the early morning and evening. Everywhere from St Kilda to Mt Martha has produced.

For whiting and squid, the reefs and weed beds in both bays have held good numbers of both.

While the traditional depths of 2-6 meters have fished well, in Western Port don't be afraid to fish as deep as 14m. Whether it's from a boat, rocks or the piers, you're a good chance of bagging a brace.

Until next week, tight lines and calm seas ď Ž Paul “Trackerâ€? Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire. com.au or call 5975 5479).

Anglers ramp up pressure on state ANGLERS are lobbying the state government to invest in boat ramps and launching facilities around Port Phillip and Western Port.

VRFish, the peak body for Victorian recreational fishing, has released a “state election wish list� as the election campaign officially begins in the leadup to the 29 November poll.

High on the list is a push for the major political parties to commit to investing $39 million over four years to upgrade boat ramps along the coast.

The group’s state council developed

the list over the past two years to promote “the enormous public good in recreational fishing� and maximise “government investment into key programs, projects and services�.

VRFish general manager Dallas D’Silva said the peak body would push for an incoming state government to use angling licence fees to be invested back into recreational fishing.

He said independent reports provided to VRFish showed $70 million over seven years was needed to improve fishers’ access to the two bays.

“We decided on the figure of about $40 million over four years because that’s the term of a government,� Mr D’Silva said.

VRFish has welcomed the Coalition government’s announcement of its ‘Better Bay Plan’. Premier Denis Napthine visited Carrum to commit $65 million “to protect and restore Port Phillip�.

The Premier announced the government would phase out commercial netting in Port Phillip if re-elected.

The plan includes fishing pier upgrades in addition to a previous promise to spend $3.25 million revitalising Mordialloc pier. The Better Bay Plan includes $200,000 to be used to build an artificial reef off Mordialloc pier.

VRFish said the Coalition’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative had provided many lasting benefits and the previous Labor government had also made a similar level of commitment to recreational fishing. It said user de-

mand for boating facilities, especially during the summer months, was hindering recreational fishing and holding back the state’s economy.

Boaties and recreational fishers are regularly forced to queue at boat ramps during peak summer periods.

Mr D’Silva said VRFish had not officially heard from the major political parties about the group’s wish list. The full wish list will be released this week.

LETTERS CEO had vision OUTGOING Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has made a significant contribution to the Mornington Peninsula as we all enjoy it today. In 1993, as shire president of the Shire of Hastings, it was an honour to sign the contract that saw Dr Kennedy appointed CEO and start his distinguished career in local government.

My council colleagues saw Dr Kennedy, who had previously earned a reputation in the transport and shipping industry as a “change manager”, as the outstanding candidate for the position at a time when local government in Victoria was being challenged to bring about change in the conduct of its business. Michael had hardly settled in to his role as CEO when the Kennett government initiated the restructure of local government across Victoria, reducing the number of municipalities from 210 to 79.

Living up to his reputation as a change manager, and well aware of the strong possibility of amalgamation of the three municipalities on the peninsula, he encouraged cooperation between the shires of Mornington, Flinders and Hastings to consider and prepare for the eventuality of such an outcome.

Over the ensuing 12 months the councillors, staff and communities of the three shires were consulted, resulting in the production of a document entitled “Vision Peninsula”, which clearly articulated the community’s preferred model by which any amalgamation should be implemented. Michael was already displaying his real passion for the uniqueness of the peninsula and an understanding of the challenge ahead in retaining its character.

The amalgamations occurred in December 1994, incumbent councillors and CEO’S were sacked and, sadly, commissioners appointed by the Kennett government failed to embrace the “Vision Peninsula” model.

Thankfully, after serving terms as CEO of City of Casey and City of Boroondara, Michael was appointed CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999 and quickly revisited and implemented his model, reopening and staffing the vacant shire offices in Hastings and Mornington, overcoming the sense of loss that had been felt by those communities over the preceding five years, and re-injecting the loss of expendable dollars those shopping centres had incurred while the two shire offices remained vacant.

(I hear that the council of today is considering reversing that decision after more than 14 years of benefit to Mornington and Hastings, and trust those communities will vehemently oppose such a backward move.)

Many have been quick to criticise the “Peninsula Way” and the “commitment to a sustainable peninsula” (safeguarding and embracing environment, economic and social elements), which have been the guiding principles initiated and implemented over the past 15 years

by Dr Kennedy, but my observation is they are the envy of many in municipal government circles and without doubt the foundation stone for the future that we will treasure and enjoy.

Michael’s astute negotiating skills and discerning eye on the future, along with the respect he has enjoyed at state and federal levels of government, have contributed significantly to the recently affirmed Statement of Planning Policy for the Mornington Peninsula, retaining the 70 per cent rural and 30 per cent urban

split protecting the peninsula from unwanted growth and reserving it as the “playground for Melbourne”. Equally, funding applications for all facets of improved life on the peninsula have been achieved as a direct result of the respect he enjoys and the strong negotiating skills he possesses.

Michael has recognised and respected the socio-economic differences that exist across the peninsula from the most affluent to the extremely poor and has guided the council in implementing appropriate, socially adjusted programs to meet those challenges.

Respect has been shown to all sectors of our community during his time as CEO and the career opportunities offered to young residents, programs that support our elderly to stay in their homes or live more meaningful lives, equal opportunity in the shire workplace, and programs advancing reconciliation for the indigenous community will stand as testimony to his compassion and understanding of the needs of the community he served.

Michael Kennedy has been a dedicated, tireless and loyal servant of the shire throughout all the 15 years he has held the position of CEO. Brian L Stahl, OAM JP, Hastings

RET should stay WHEN Prime Minister John Howard introduced the Renewal Energy Target (RET) as bipartisan policy in 2001, he could not have imagined the speed with which renewable technologies such as rooftop solar developed.

Neither could he have understood this technology would be implemented at far less cost than comparable centralised coal-fired power stations, subsidised as they are today by grants and favourable taxation, and government-funded rail and road infrastructure.

Now the Abbott government, harassed and controlled by the coal industry, finds itself between a rock and a hard place, thanks to the former Howard government’s farsighted decision. Unlike when Howard was in government, there is now a real point of difference between the two sides of politics.

Labor must honour Howard’s bipartisan RET target to remain credible. The question for the community is even simpler. If you like coal, vote Liberal; if you like the sun, vote Labor.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Direct Action won’t cut it WILL Australia follow world leaders and their promise of 30 per cent emissions reductions?

For 5 per cent by 2020, the biggest contribution by the Abbott government’s Direct Action was to come from forest planting, except “Failed carbon farm company ignored expert’s advice”, (The Age, 25/11/14) was about the Timbercorp and Southern Plantations tree farming failure. Is Mr Abbott still deluded about carbon in soils, even low grade soils, even dry locations, year after year, for ever and ever, Amen?

From ABC’s Lateline: “Greg Hunt claims CO2 sequestration at 150 tonnes per hectare every year is ... inconsistent with CSIRO ... carbon actually in range only 0.3 to 2 tonnes per hectare per year.

To reach necessary 2020 abatement quantum, this requires area of land up to two-thirds of the Australian land mass, or 500 million hectares.”

How can he endorse tree projects dodgy enough to cause losses for creditors and investors of as

much as $100 million? Actual emission reduction projects don’t offer return on investment in contract period of only 5 years. So, abatement/ offsets and efficiency are the go. Most fuss is about carbon in tree plantings; also, separately, carbon in soils, planted by Green Army, originally 300,000 trainees, planting 20 million trees. How does federal government look when even Blind Freddy can see it’s just 67 trees per trainee?

The real problem is how do we reduce emissions, urgently? International treaties require growth in emissions to peak by 2020, replaced by zero emissions energy by 2040. Absorption of carbon is 94 per cent into oceans; land and plant matter help only a little. Absorption into oceans is so slow that it’s now desperately urgent to treat the cause, emission reductions, instead of tinkering with symptoms.

Glimmer of hope is Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane asked about King Island proposal: “Wind farms are the only solution deliverable, big and fast enough to meet bipartisan and internationally committed target of 5 per cent emission reduction by 2020.”

New technology can always help, whenever, but time is now for implementation using current technology. Because of implementation processes, technology will improve. We can’t afford to wait for magic silver bullet solutions.

If Direct Action without deadlines, carrot or stick was always hopelessly inept for 5 per cent, surely for 30 per cent it’s time to reinstate carbon tax? Gough Whitlam made us feel proud and confident. Fearmonger Abbott makes us feel ashamed and helpless.

Walk the beach REGARDING the article “Heat on beach renourishment plans as sand washes away”

by Chris Brennan (Southern Peninsula News, 4/11/14), comments made by Cr Graham Pittock in the article show an alarming lack of understanding regarding the current coastal erosion pressures now affecting our coastline.

Significant sections of our beaches are being eroded, dunes are being scoured by increasing wave action, and stabilising vegetation falling onto the beach. I suggest Cr Pittock talk a good walk along his local beach and have a good look.

Kelvin Stingel, Blairgowrie

What has MP done?

WHAT has Mornington’s Liberal MP David Morris protected? Has he protected the interest of the Point Nepean National Park developer?

Has he protected the people who own land in the Woodland precinct of Mt Eliza?

In my opinion, he has “protected” the truth about Woodland from the parliament and the public by overstating the level of support for not subdividing the precinct, and tabling a questionable petition in the parliament. He refused to advise the parliament when evidence of the questionable petition was provided to him.

What else has he done for his electorate? He has acted as an MP of a very safe seat with scant regard of the interest of his constituents.

He has been complicit in a government that has overseen an unemployment level heading higher than that of Tasmania. I suggest the electorate treat Mr Morris as he has treated the electorate – put him last on election day.

Per Carlsen, Mt Eliza

Time for shire change THE long overdue appointment of a new CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire will hopefully lead to a change of focus with the council reinstating the provision of free tip tickets to ratepayers and introducing a free hard waste collection.

A great many councils in Victoria have the interests of their ratepayers and residents at the top of their priority list but this does not seem to be the case on the Mornington Peninsula.

Abolishing the issuing of 25 per cent of free tip tickets a year with each rate notice was a petty and mean decision. No doubt the public justification was the impact on the council budget, this from a council that is happy to go into debt to build a swimming pool complex in Rosebud and to allocate ratepayer funds to a range of other expenditures that many would question.

The majority of ratepayers and residents on the peninsula would benefit from free access to their local tip and a free hard waste collection.

While a swimming pool complex at Rosebud might well be desirable to a good many, it would definitely not be the majority of peninsula residents. I can only hope that the new broom at the head of the council administration will be looking at what is good for the majority and not just a section of the community within the municipality.

Robin Cooper, Mt Eliza (former Liberal government minister)

Silence on fish THANKS for your story on the state government’s plans to ban commercial fishing in Port Phillip (“Fishermen: nets ban a ‘stunt’”, The News, 11/11/14).

More than a week ago I wrote to my local member of parliament, David Morris, and to the Minister for Agriculture and Food Security and Minister for Water, Peter Walsh, requesting information on the science informing this decision but have not heard a peep from either.

Joanne Winterbottom, Mornington

Prosperous future?

WITH the assured victory of Dan Andrews and his Labor team in the state election, Victorians can look forward to a more prosperous future.

We expect to see the incoming Labor government implement well-deserved wage rises across all government agencies, and to see these flow on to the private sector with the assistance of the unions.

We don’t accept the employers’ case that wage rises must be related to productivity increase; this is just a ploy for higher profits.

We also expect the Labor government to systematically improve working conditions with better penalty rates, higher superannuation and better leave conditions. If this results in budget deficits, these can be dealt with at a later time.

Let’s get things going for the workers now.

The government should phase out assistance to independent schools; this would save money that can be used for the workers. If public schools aren’t good enough for people, then let them pay for their private schools. The same applies to hospitals. Many other non-public activities should also be shut down.

Runners fit to stride through mounting challenge CLOSE to 2000 participants traversed the 6.7 kilometre course from Rosebud to Seawinds Gardens last Sunday in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date.

Event ambassador, Commonwealth Games Marathon runner Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course to the top of Arthurs Seat.

The annual event, sponsored by Fit2Drive, aims to raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes.

The weather for this year’s event was perfect for running or walking up the steep summit, which at its peak has a testing 9.5 degree gradient and 3 kilometre uphill climb.

The one saving grace for competitors is the stunning view of over Port Phillip.

Once again, there were some impressive results, with Craig Appleby, pictured bottom left, first over the line in a mere 25 minutes and 15 seconds.

Appleby glided over the line with a decent gap between himself and second placegetter, Cameron Hall, who is a previous winner of the event.

The first woman to the finish line was Rebecca Rosel, pictured bottom centre, who looked strong as she charged up the hill to cross in a time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Twins, Elly and Sarah Jackson took second and third place for the women’s overall with times of 30 minutes 30 seconds and 30 minutes 59 seconds respectively.

The dynamic duo are still juniors, and as such also took out first and second place in the under 18s female category.

Other noteworthy efforts included Liam Hemingway, who was crowned under 18 male champion and Brodie Lynch, who came in second in the under 18s and took the title in the under 15 male category.

MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER

If you live in or around Melbourne near grass, bush or reserves, you need to prepare for fire this summer.

Last summer, we saw fast moving grassfires right on the edge of Melbourne as well as large fires that damaged homes and properties just outside the city fringe. This year, we’re expecting another hot summer that will result in more hot, dry, windy days, increasing the chance of grassfire.

Fire Action Week (beginning Sunday November 16) is the best time to understand what to do if a fire starts near your home or workplace, and get prepared.

If you live next to grassland, you should have already cleared weeds and removed firewood and rubbish from around your property.

Advice from fire authorities is that if a grassfire starts, and you live directly next to grassland, you need to act quickly and move one or two streets away from the fire. Avoid driving in a grassfire because it will be smoky and hard to see, and traffic jams and accidents are likely.

They also advise that if you don’t live directly next to grassland and a grassfire starts, it’s safer to stay where you are because it’s unlikely a fire will spread past the first row of houses.

If you live near bush, you need to check Fire Danger Ratings daily and monitor the weather conditions. On Severe, Extreme or Code Red days, the safest option is to get out early.

Prepare for fire now by putting a plan in place for what you’ll do if a fire starts, and discussing it with your household so everyone knows what to do.

For more planning and preparation information, or to check Fire Danger Ratings this summer, go to emergency.vic.gov.au, download the FireReady app, or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.

Remember, it’s up to you to understand your fire risk and be ready to act.

The Hon Dr Denis Napthine MP Premier of Victoria

Fire Action Week Nov. 16-23

Protect your family by planning ahead this summer.

Fire Action Week is a great opportunity to gather all the information you need to prepare for this year’s fire season. Find out about FireReady meetings in your area and check CFA’s website to see if your local CFA brigade is holding an Open Day during Fire Action Week.

Remember to talk to your family about what you’re going to do on a high fire risk day. For more information about Fire Action Week and how to stay safe this fire season, visit the VicEmergency website, call 1800 240 667 or download the free FireReady app today.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Lord Roberts dead at 83, election next week Compiled by Melissa Hodge WE regret to state that Miss Boulter, sister of Rosa Alba, the brilliant soprano, is at present an inmate of Dr Maxwell’s Private Hospital. We trust that she will have a speedy recovery. *** IT is with pleasure we note that Mr Walter Jess, the well known tenor of the Conly Company, is the proud father of a son and heir. *** EVERYBODY is discussing Rosa Alba, take the opportunity of hearing her yourself at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert.

This will indeed be a treat, be sure you don’t miss it. *** MRS Ritnuer wishes it known that she has had her premises in Payne Street thoroughly renovated and has always on hand good stocks of fresh fruit and vegetables. She has also a comfortable room where visitors can enjoy a cup of tea, ice cream, or confectionery. *** MR Broadbent notifies by advertisement that he has commenced business in Skye Road, Frankston, as a plumber and gas fitter, and is prepared to take orders for all kinds of plumbing. *** THE State Elections Polling Day is fixed for next Thursday, when the booths in the various electorates will be open from 8 am till 7 p.m. Mr A. Downward will address the electors of Frankston on Tuesday evening

next, and Cr Murphy will also address them on Wednesday evening. *** THE honorees. (Dr S. Plowman and Mr O. P. Watson) of the presentation to the members of the Second Expeditionary Forces, will be glad to receive any donations from those interested. As an early departure of the troops is apparent, it will be necessary for these donations to be sent in immediately so as to arrange a public presentation. *** MISS Rosa Alba the brilliant new soprano, has a beautiful light voice of bright tone and appealing quality.

Frankston and surrounding district will have the opportunity of hearing this talented artist at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert on December 5th at the Mechanics Hall, Frankston. *** DEEP regret has been caused throughout the Commonwealth by the news that Field–Marshall Lord Roberts VC has died as a result of a chill while on a visit to France.

The great solider was in his 83rd year.

The Federal Government on Sunday received the following cablegram from the high commissioner.

“Lord Kitchner received this (Saturday) evening a telegram from Sir John French.”I regret to inform you that Lord Roberts died this evening.

Lord Roberts was on a trip to France to greet the Indian troops. He contracted a chill on Thursday, and succumbed to an attack of pneumonia.

*** THE children of my district are fine, loyal, generous young Britishers, so says Mr Lewis Thomas BA, Inspector of the Warnambool district. They are doing all in their power to continue to help the noblest of causes. One school of ten pupils sent in £10; another of 40 pupils forwarded £21 to swell the funds of the Education Department Patriotic League. This work is going on all over the State: no wonder the Inspectors are proud of the work of children, parents, and teachers. The Warnambool district has accumulated £230, and the work is still going on. *** THE youngsters of the State are taking the war very seriously. At the Queenscliff State School six pupils won prizes at the local Flower Show.

The first intimation that Mr Hughes, their head teacher, had of their praiseworthy intention, was their handing in the whole of their prize money to their School Self-denial Patriotic Fund. Well done young loyalists. *** WE desire to call the attention of your readers to an advertisement in another column, concerning the Frankston Patriotic and Presentation Fund. It will be seen that a meeting of contributors will be held at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday the 23rd to consider the disposal of the funds now in hand and to make arrangements for the entertainment and presentation to members of the second Expeditionary Force who may have been drawn from Frankston and immediately

surrounding district. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance. *** A TEAM of six tennis players from Frankston visited Dandenong last Saturday week. Dandenong was again victorious, winning by 14 games. A most enjoyable time was spent by all.

A match is to take place today, on the Frankston courts, against Somerville.

The team will consist of the following members:- Mrs Shannon, Mrs H. Robertson, Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Robertson, Utber, Watson, and Rev Kitchen. *** THE Frankston Methodist Christian Endeavour society and choir arranged a very pleasant surprise to Mr and Mrs Charles Ellis, who recently returned to Frankston, after their honeymoon.

The ordinary C. E. meeting was altered to one of a social character and the members, who individually possess good voices made the evening pass too quickly with songs and recitations.

Mr Ellis has been a most active and useful member of both bodies, and Mrs Ellis has already shown her sympathy and willingness to take an active part.

Before the evening was finished the Rev R Jackson presented Mr and Mrs Ellis with a handsome crystal and silver salad bowl, and expressed very best wishes for their future happiness. *** HOW SOLDIER’S WIVES LIVE “Everylady’s Journal,” the magazine

par excellence of Australia and New Zealand, is catering magnificently for its readers in these times of war. The November issue, just in hand, is the third of its Special War Number, and establishes it’s claim to be called the best to date. The special war material in Everylady’s Journal begins with a little cluster of interviews of returned Australian girls and articles from London correspondent which conveys a wonderfully vivid impression of the state of excitement into which England was thrown by the outbreak of war. Then a woman writer with a clear grasp of affairs describes the fighting of the past month, and shows what the Allies have gained.

Another tells of ‘life in Berlin during peace time, and quotes a wonderfully stirring poem called “The Kaiser Comes.”

Of great local interest are the views of a number of notable people on how the wives of soldiers can maintain their husband’s income while they are away at the war. The Lady Mayoress advocates culture, the Chief Secretary suggests fishing, and so on.

Lady Helen Munro-Ferguson, head of the Red Cross Society, explains in an interview, what goods are still required; and W. A. Somerset supplies a descriptive sketch of the Australian troops marching through the streets, illustrated with a couple of remarkable photographs, one of which is perhaps the best marching picture that has appeared.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

My experiences deconstructing degustation

By Stuart McCullough WHEN it comes to the culinary arts, I can put up with just about anything. I can tolerate ‘jus’ even though my heart longs to leap out through my chest and scream ‘pretentious!’. I can even put up with a wanton use of the term ‘reduction’. Heavens above, I can even turn a blind eye to things that have been ‘caramelized’ beyond recognition. When it comes to food, I can endure all sorts of chicanery. Anything, that is, except a dish that has been ‘deconstructed’.

Let’s start with the term itself. Put simply, if something is ‘deconstructed’, it is either yet to be constructed or, worse still, it was previously constructed but some bludger has decided to pull it apart for no reason other than to be a bit of a twerp. The former smacks of laziness. The latter screams of the nastiest kind of sabotage imaginable. Why ruin a perfectly good meal by disassembling and making it appear as though it fell onto the plate from a great height?

Deconstructed food is all about giving you much loved classic meals in a form that makes them totally unrecognizable. It’s the Renee Zellweger principle, except it’s served either with chips or salad. Let me say right here that I’m absolutely against it. I realize that the principle of deconstruction is rooted in reinvention, whereby overly familiar things are re-presented for a modern age. But you can go too far.

It’s like that old saying: don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Granted, it’s an odd turn of phrase.

Truly, who would ever empty a bath

and lose a child? You’d have to either be in an incredible rush or wholly indifferent. In fact, when I think about it, it’s not so much a proverb as it is an act of criminal negligence. At least it doesn’t involve animal cruelty. It’s quite shocking when you think of how many of our key proverbs involve brutality to animals in some form, espe-

cially felines. ‘There’s more than one way to skin a cat’, ‘not enough room to swing a cat’, ‘dead cat bounce’ and ‘busier than a three legged cat in a dry sandbox’ to name but a few. As for not throwing out the baby with the bathwater, despite it’s apparent endorsement of infant cruelty, the proverb is neither about babies nor bathwater. It’s

about remembering what made something special in the first place.

Let me be clear. When I order a meal, I like to be able to recognize it when it turns up. It’s no good if your plate of food has to be explained to you by the waiter. In fact, when I cook something from a recipe, one of my key performance indicators is whether it looks anything like the picture in the book. This is the first sign that I am (hopefully) on the right track. But deconstructed meals take the exact opposite approach. If a deconstructed meal bears any resemblance to the original meal, it is regarded as a colossal failure. It’s the abstract expressionism of cooking. It’s food in disguise.

When I order a lasagne, I don’t want a dish that looks as though it’s entered the culinary equivalent of the witness protection program. I want something I know and love. In short, I want exactly what I asked for.

We’d had a lovely dinner when I decided to order dessert. It’s an unusual step for me. Usually, I go overboard on the bread and the idea of pudding is dismissed as gluttony. But having enjoyed my meal and not wanting the evening to end, I decided I’d ask for the menu. Looking through the list, all the favourites were there – crème brulee, chocolate mousse, tiramisu.

All of them fine in their own way, but not the kind of showstopper I had in mind. I wasn’t just looking for the end of a meal. I was looking for an encore.

A final bow that would have me leaving the restaurant, raving about the whole night. I wanted a curtain call that would knock me clear off my feet.

Then I saw it – Pavlova.

Pavlova is pretty much Australia’s national dessert. Except if you’re from New Zealand. Whilst there’s some room for improvisation, particularly in terms of which fruit you’re going to put on top (strawberries versus kiwi fruit versus mixed berries), all other aspects of the art form are pretty much settled. Or so I’d thought. Meringue, a crispy shell and maybe some cream – these are the heart and soul of any pav worth it’s salt (there’s no actual salt in the recipe, although there is vinegar).

They’re what I expected. And, truth be told, I got them all. Just not in one piece.

It was as though my dessert had been run over by a large vehicle. The meringue sat in the corner as if it’d been given detention. The fruit was ganged together, hiding from the meringue.

The cream had the whole dessert surrounded, smeared around the edge of the plate. But of all the indignities, it was the crust that suffered most of all.

It appeared as a chewy tube, resting on the meringue like a fallen girder. I was outraged. If I want to buy something I have to assemble myself, I’ll go to IKEA. I’m all for reinvention, but you shouldn’t destroy the classics. I don’t want the constituent parts of my meal looking as if they’ve just had a falling out and aren’t presently speaking to each other. When I asked for waiter for the instructions, he took my little fork, replacing it with an Allen key and a diagram. Suddenly, I’d lost my appetite. I’m used to BYO meals, but DYI is simply too much. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ELECTRIC MARY

POWERED BY

& DEFRYME,

LIVE & LOUD! In a huge coup for Pier Live and The Pelly Bar, Rusty and the boys from Electric Mary will team up with recently reformed 80s/90s group Defryme for a massive double bill not to be missed.

2014 is a year of celebration for Electric Mary. After an incredible ten years that has been highlighted by tours alongside the likes of Alice Cooper, Whitesnake, Judas Priest and Deep Purple, a collection of albums and EP’s and an ARIA Top 100 single, Electric Mary are back with a new EP, The Last Great Hope, and they intend to spend the year celebrating all that is rock n roll, the way it used to taste!

Following a crowd-funded Pozible campaign which raised over $15,000, the band are back on the road alongside locals Defryme. Originally formed in 1989 in Frankston by Michael Richardson and Quinn Gardener-Kane, the band’s first 1994 album, Purekiller, debuted at #3 on the national ARIA chart and lead to a string of ARIA Top 100 singles including a cover of LL Cool J’s Mama Said Knock You Out and Defryme originals God Inside A Man, Purekiller and the crossover track Sanity, all receiving significant radio support from both triple j and commercial radio stations such as

Triple M. They’re now back with a fresh perspective and a new bunch of songs mixed in with their favourite legacy hits.

Catch the two acts on Thursday December 4 at the Pelly Bar, Pier Live, with tickets $22 available from Ticketmaster and the venue. Doors Open from 7pm, and for more info visit www.pierlive. com.au

KNOWLEDGE FEST AT PHILLIP ISLAND’S SMALL FARM + LIFESTYLE EXPO THIS weekend’s (Nov 22/23) Small Farm + Lifestyle Expo at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit promises to be a knowledge fest on all things rural! The inaugural expo, to be held Saturday and Sunday, November 22 and 23, will feature over 100 exhibitions and speakers from Landcare, the Bass Coast Shire, the farming community and Phillip Island Nature Park Reserve.

Landcare will speak both days on rural issues like soil salinity, native vegetation, control of vermin and sustainable farming practices; while Bass Coast Shire will share news on planning and development, their vision for the area, growth initiatives and tourism.

The wildlife rangers from the Phillip Island Nature Park will address expo-goers on the interaction between farming communities and the reserves, and farming and wildlife; while Phillip Island farmer, Ian McFee, will speak on managing a small farm efficiently.

“We really want to ensure our visitors walk away well-armed and aware of the resources available in the local community,” said circuit managing director, Fergus Cameron, whose family has farmed the region for three generations.

“There’s been a lot of changes in agricultural practices in the last decade and this Expo is designed

to bring the experts together so that over the two days our visitors get answers to their questions on rural life.”

All presentations will be held in the Motorsport Expo Building surrounded by over 100 Expo exhibitors many discussing animals to run on small properties like sheep, alpacas and poultry.

Many real life farmers feature in the speaker lineup, happy to tell with good humour and candidness how they made their dream of a rural lifestyle a reality, and the ups and downs of the journey.

Grantville’s Phil Westwood from FreeRanger Eggs, will speak on successful poultry farming on

small landholdings; while Anna Kilborn from ECube, who grazes beef and sheep in the Strzelecki Ranges, runs a business advising clients on environmental practices and has plenty of advice to share.

“I have many funny stories about the rural lifestyle experience. I’m happy to tell you of my adventure, warts and all, and the lessons I’ve learnt along the way,” Anna said.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of agriculture. The Warragul Poultry Club stand will provide information on the various breeds of poultry, feeding and equipment for chooks, chook health, care of chooks and chickens and the role of chooks in sustainable agriculture.

“We’ll also have a petting zoo for the children,” says Kevin Collins from Warragul Poultry Club who will have a display of eight different chooks that can be patted and petted.

“We’ll have Daisy, our little white Australian Langshan, a hen and her baby chicks, a duck and her little ducklings and two of the only four Australian pure breeds of poultry.”

Chooktred and Suburban Chooks will also be talking about all things chooky, while Grand Ridge Sheep Stud will provide information on sheep and Pakenham Produce has the latest on

feed for animals.

There will also be exhibitions on the latest farm machinery, implements, power equipment and cutting edge farm technology.

There will be a strong focus on organic and sustainable living products, with everything from worm farms to solar lights being featured.

On the lifestyle side, there will be exhibitors covering a range of leisure pursuits from water sports, and camping, to four wheel driving, health and tourism.

The Small Farm Expo will be housed in the 2000 square metre pavilion usually used for motorsport expos with external sites featuring agricultural animal displays. A dedicated rough terrain area will allow for quad bikes, gators, Ag bikes to be put through their paces and a working farm area will showcase the latest farm machinery, tractors, slashers and ride-on mowers.

Keen to master rural life? Take some advice from locals happy to share their experience at the Small Farm & Lifestyle Expo at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit, Saturday and Sunday November 22 and 23 from 9am- 5pm. Adults $10 entry at gate; and children 17 and under, and dogs - on a leash - admitted free.

ENTERTAINMENT

Performance THE Australian rock scene of the 70s was at its best, courtesy of Marshall Amplification and bands like the Skyhooks, Sports, Company Caine, Mighty Kong, The Toads and Murtceps.

For the best part of the seventies Australia created ever more sophisticated popular rock bands that had re-drawn the boundaries of acceptability and given the youth of Australia its own music, so no JOK, Johnny Chester or Delltones; but JOK did make the stage at Sunbury to a surprisingly joyous crowd, about the time l was looking for my clothes l had left on the river bank.

To celebrate the 70s, Warner Music and Festival Records have released a new double CD set When the Sun Sets over Carlton: Melbourne’s Countercultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70’s.

A deluxe 2CD set documents the arts and politics-infused rock scene that gave Melbourne and Australia such multifaceted cultural icons as Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri, Stephen Cummings, Jane Clifton, Peter Lillie, Ross Wilson, Ross Hannaford, Greg Macainsh, Red Symons and Shirley Strachan. Taking its title from the famous song by the scene’s best known band Skyhooks, the album traces the counter cultural scene’s development from its beginnings in venues like the TF Much Ballroom and Carlton’s La Mama and Pram Factory theatres through Skyhooks breakout success to the thriving pub scene found in legendary venues like Martini’s and the Tiger Lounge. It presents also a glimpse of the birth of Melbourne’s hugely influential 3RRR-FM, which was born out of this scene.

It features rare and unreleased recordings from Paul Kelly, Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons, The Sports & Daddy Cool, as well as first recordings of future members of The Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, Icehouse & Crowded House.

The 44-track collection includes Daddy Cool covering Skyhooks in ’74, an unreleased Skyhooks demo featuring original singer Steve Hill, two unreleased studio recordings by Paul Kelly’s first band The High Rise Bombers and two little-known tracks from the selfreleased 1979 EP by his next band The

Dots, an unreleased early Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons demo from ’76, a preSports demo by Stephen Cummings with Dave Flett, the first track ever released by Wayne Burt’s pre-Falcons Band (with Pat Wilson) Rock Granite, an unreleased Bleeding Hearts demo produced by Greg Macainsh and rare material from the Pure Shit soundtrack.

It also features a mix of classic and lesser known other material from the likes of The Sports, Stiletto (featuring Jane Clifton), The Bleeding Hearts, The Pelaco Bros (featuring Stephen Cummings, Peter Lillie, Johnny Topper and Joe Camilleri), Eric Gradman Man & Machine, early Mondo Rock, Company Caine, Spare Change (featuring John Dowler), Parachute, Mark Gillespie, The Millionaires, The Indelible Murtceps (alter-ego of the legendary Spectrum), Peter Lillie & The Leisuremasters and more.

The collection comes in a slipcase and with an illustrated 52-page booklet fea-

turing 15,000 words from musicians including Paul Kelly, Jane Clifton, Johnny Topper as well as esteemed rock writer Jen Jewel Brown. The album’s eyepopping logo/title design was drawn by legendary ‘70s Australian cartoonist and cover/poster artist Ian McCausland.

To coincide with release, Festival will also be releasing Expanded Editions of the classic albums by two of Melbourne and indeed Australia’s most-loved bands of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s period; the first two albums by The Sports (Reckless & Don’t Throw Stones from 78 & 79) and Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons’ breakthrough album from (Screaming Targets from 79) . All three albums, which were originally released on Mushroom and have been long out of print on CD, have been remastered from original tapes.

Songs like Hit and Run, Shape I’m In, Don’t Throw Stones, When You Walk in the Room, Who Listens to the Radio and more.

When the Sun Sets Over Carlton:

Melbourne’s Counter cultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70s’ now available at all stores. *** MARK Walberg will star in the movie, Six Billion Dollar Man. The film is based on the 1970s television series ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’, and will see the actor reunite with director Peter Berg (Lone Survivor). The TV series starred Lee Majors as Steve Austin, a former astronaut outfitted with bionic implants. A popular science fiction series which later had a love interest with the series The Bionic Woman. The series was cancelled in 1978. *** ROBERT Plant has turned down millions of dollars from Sir Richard Branson to reunite Lez Zeppelin. Sir Richard offered the deal to play 35 dates in three cities, London, Berlin and New Jersey.

Branson also offered to let the band use one of his jets and rename it ‘The Starship’. Jimmy page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham (son of John Bonham) agreed to the tour but Plant said no. *** GOLDEN Guitar winner, singer/songwriter, historian, author, TV presenter and school teacher, Ted Egan OAM will launch his new book The Anzacs: 100 Years On in Story and Song at the Frankston RSL on Thursday November 27, 2-4pm. Egan will also perform and copies of the book with CD of 20 songs will be on sale. Egan began writing songs about life in the Northern Territory in the 1960s and made his first recordings in 1969. He has produced over twenty albums and appeared on a regular basis at folk and country music festivals. He has several degrees in literature and history and is a member of the first National Reconciliation Council. For more details email books@wilddingopress.com.au *** SHANE Nicholson’s prolific musical career began with rock band Pretty Violet Stain in the late ‘90’s. After two EP’s and the album Parachutes & Gravity, Shane began a solo project with 2003’s its A Movie, later voted by USA Today as one of the Top 10 Pop Albums of 2004. This

tion is above board are fully paid up members of the “A fool and his money are soon parted” society. Locally we received a letter from Minister for Education Martin Dixon, inculcate, none the wiser. Martin sent a second glossy, historical as an example of how a political party can twist the truth. We await the result, knowing full well every front page from that newspaper will feature disaster for Labor voters. Either way I expect nothing for the Mornington Peninsula with an unbeatable majority. Be nice to know Danny Andrew’s thinking on the 99 year lease at Point Nepean, or public housing at Fishermans Bend? *** I have nothing against Denis; if he gets in good luck to him, although I would love to see the back of Matthew Guy. In terms of danger to our way of life I rate Denis as a daddy long legs against the redback Minister for Immigation and border protection, and of course the dastardly Sydney funnel web. *** Best to leave crime statistics to the police, likewise paramedic and CFA response times and the results of the investigation into sexual exploitation.

Let us know after the election apparently. Some things are held back to “after” while others, as with the East West Link to “before”. There were 10,670 bashings, robberies, sex at-

tacks and deaths in the CBD during the past five years, but “too much information”, unless this included Muslims. In the meantime I’m listening to Deano Martini singing “You’re nobody till somebody loves you”. *** I need Deano at times, particularly when females sprout their advices on the wireless “Everybody needs 8 hours sleep, eat your greens, exercises”. Always females, no idea why? I recall Phillip Adams talking of a chap who lived on canned food for years.

Then there was Virgil G Perkins, author of international best-seller Enjoying Jogging who collapsed and died whilst jogging aged 26, leaving behind a wife, Beverley, their daughter, Alexis, and seven other children by previous marriages. *** I wrote to the great Gough Whitlam in the 70‘s asking why he supported Indonesia’s takeover of East Timor.

Days later Gough telephoned, carefully explaining his reasoning. We agreed to disagree but quite a gentleman. We who lived through those years were so very lucky. Gough stood head and shoulders (literally and spiritually) above everyone. He was our star, our inspiration, our hope, by a mile. “Optimism, enthusiasm and confidence against fear, prejudice and conformity”. At Gough’s memorial service Graham Freuden-

berg said “never more than now”.

Spot on Graham. *** Jeffrey Kennett, always remembered with the arrival of our electricity bills, now holds a position of some respect within our community. Jeffrey has kindly taken it upon himself to delve into the reasons leading to our choice at the forthcoming state election sighting performance, personality and policies as the ingredients to watch out for. It’s “London to a brick on” his bottom line will be in favour of dashing Denis Napthine.

Stop Press: A week later Jeffrey came out in favour of Dashing Denis. Coincidentally Denis has promised more schools. That’s funny, seeing as our man Jeffrey closed so many in his time. *** A joint state and federal police task force to investigate union corruption compliments of Tony and Denis called on the day before the political election cut off period. Danny welcomes this investigation, again lying low. Why not call it as it so obviously is Danny? A set-up! Have a go ya mug! One wonders what our police forces were doing prior to Tony’s call to arms? The disturbing aspect is that it shows the degree to which our politicians think of us. *** The Australian Study of Health and

By Gary Turner

was followed in 2006 by Faith and Science. Both albums resulted in extensive touring in Australia and USA. In 2008, Shane and Kasey Chambers released Rattlin’ Bones. The album debuted at No.1, achieved platinum sales, was awarded Best Country Album at the ARIA Awards.

The ARIA Award-nominated Familiar Ghosts followed, debuting at No.6 on the albums chart. Shortly thereafter moving into production, Shane worked across albums for Catherine Britt, Beccy Cole, Angie Hart, Alex Lloyd and many more.

Shane’s 4th solo album Bad Machines debuted at No.3 on the ARIA Country Charts, scored 6 Golden Guitar nominations (winning Song of the Year), a Best Country Album ARIA nomination, and the APRA Country Work of the Year award.

Shane and Kasey’s second collaborative effort, Wreck & Ruin, debuted at No.6 in October 2012, scored 5 CMAA nominations (winning Best Group/Duo) and took them to the Grand Ole Opry.

In December 2013, it won the ARIA Award for Best Country Album.

Shane Nicholson has now signed to Lost Highway Records (Universal Music) as a Staff Producer and artist and will release a new album Pitch, Roll & Yaw: Live and Solo this week.

Lost Highway has signed and been instrumental in the careers of some of the biggest roots and country artists in the world, including Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, the Jayhawks, Whiskeytown, Lyle Lovett, Shelby Lynne, the hugely successful soundtrack of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Willie Nelson, the late Johnny Cash and many others. www.shanenicholson.com facebook. com/ShaneNicholsonMusic twitter.com/shanenicholson

A Grain of Salt UNBIASED ELECTION EDITION: I read my favourite newspaper (Herald-Sun) every morning. I skip Andrew Bolt obviously. I might be stupid but I’m not that stupid. As always to the double page spread “YOUR SAY”. I ponder for hours at Bob’s Cafe (free newspaper), forever wondrous of the intellectual wit of those letter writers providing the majority thoughts of our nation. As Alan Marshall wrote in This is the Grass “I have sometimes thought that if the people with the crippled minds had to have the visible supports of those with crippled legs the streets of Melbourne would be loud with the tapping of crutches”. *** The polls indicate Andrews but they did the same with Brumby last time.

What with Teddy Baillieu, Geoff Shaw and Denis the menace capturing the headlines young Danny Andrews has been able to keep his head down, occasionally being allowed to bob up with world shattering ideas like school kids meals, Grand Final holiday and number plates. Factually, economically, the Libs arrived 4 years ago in good health but we have gone slightly downhill since. Personally I see health services and obviously basic living costs as the big two.

We are being treated like bunnies in matters of electricity, gas and water, and those who believe superannua-

By Cliff Ellen Reproduction’s study of 20,000 people disclosed on average men have sex with 18 women in a lifetime.

Exciting news. I thought I was past it, but apparently there’s another 17 beautiful females out there waiting for me. Unless they happen to be Green voters? Sometimes it’s appropriate (in public) to be loose with the truth. *** COMEDY: Senator the Hon George Brandis QC is Minister for the Arts?

Funnier: Direct Action Plan? Hilarious: Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog... Drama is the opposition of two sides that are right, or else conflict doesn’t amount to anything...I adored Jane’s weather reports on ABC News...I plonked heavily on 4, 13 & 22 in the Melbourne Cup, bringing to 58 the number of losing bets since 1956; Evening Peal...eHarmony.com. au might be the go for me; it’s still Spring after all...The mushroom syndrome applies-keep them in the dark and feed them fertiliser...It’s the Government who needs watching, not the people, aided and abetted by a morning newspaper....hooroo...cliffie9@ bigpond.com

Baxter sitting pretty at the top PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER is sitting pretty at the top of the MPCA Provincial cricket ladder after smashing Rye outright on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve.

Heading into day two of the clash, Baxter was already in a commanding position after bowling out the Demons for just 117 in the first innings.

Baxter then made a quick fire 7/164 before having a crack at Rye again late on the first day.

Resuming at 1/4, Rye didn’t play any better in their second innings, bowled out for just 92. Skipper Tom Baron top scored with an unbeaten 33.

After picking up five wickets in the first innings, Leigh Paterson was the destroyer again in the second dig, snaring another five scalps.

At one stage Rye was 5/17.

The visitors needed just 40-odd runs in the second inning to pick up the outright victory. They made the required runs with just three wickets down.

Baxter is now two points clear of Long Island, who sit in second place after disposing of Pines.

After setting the Piners 253 for victory, Scott Phillips brought his A-game to the table and tore through the opposition, picking up 4/29.

Greg Lamb and Chris Hocking also took two wickets each, eventually

rolling the home side for just 137.

Jarred Coad was the sole contributor for the Piners, scoring a third of the total team’s runs with 56.

Sorrento is in third place on the ladder after humiliating Langwarrin.

The Sorras were restricted to a modest total of 210 when they batted on day one of the match, however, it was always going to be enough against the brittle Langwarrin batting line-up.

For the second time in as many matches, Langwarrin’s batsmen rolled over, dismissed for just 114.

Andy Johnson top scored with 40 and Matt Prosser hit 24, however, the day belonged to the Sorrento bowlers.

AJ King is in scintillating form this

season and he was the destroyer on Saturday, taking 4/23. His brother CJ was just as damaging with 3/43 while Anthony Blackwell chipped in with 2/17.

Pensinsula Old Boys round off the top four after they eased to victory against Crib Point.

The Old Boys were good with the bat last week making 8/262.

It proved to be almost 150 runs too many for the Magpies, who were skittled for just 132.

Mt Eliza got its season back on track, picking up its first points of the season after cruising to victory against Heatherhill.

Setting the Hills 259 for victory, the Mounties already had the opposition

on the ropes when they resumed at 1/9.

The Hills would add just a further 98 runs, bowled out for 117. Lyle House took 6/39.

Mt Eliza obviously went for the outright win but Heatherhill dug deep and at the close of play were 3/85.

Mornington also went for the outright victory after bowling Moorooduc out for just 69 in their first innings.

The Dogs made 158 on the opening day of the match and had the Ducs 2/25 overnight. In the second innings, Moorooduc ended on 6/78.

Hillmen earn a tough win DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED HILL remains six points clear at the top of the MPCA District cricket ladder after holding off a persistent Carrum on Saturday.

The Hillmen set the Lions a whopping 291 for victory after skipper Simon Dart smacked 180 in the opening day of the match.

It always looked like too many runs for the Lions to chase down but they gave it a red hot crack, eventually bowled out for 250 with eight overs to spare.

A number of Carrum batsmen got great starts but just couldn’t push on and get the three figures, which was needed from at least one of their batsmen.

Dean Polson top scored for the Lions with 61, while Dylan Steed (47), Josh Dent (32), Dale O’Neil (32) and Liam Dobson (25) all got very good starts.

Andrew Mock was the pick of the bowlers for the Hillmen with 3/26 from eight overs, while Lincoln Toy and Brent Martin each claimed two wickets.

Mt Martha is in second place on the ladder after making light work of Delacombe Park.

The Reds are in some great form this season and it’s the younger players who are bringing the good form to the table.

On Saturday, the Reds were defending 227, a tall order considering the talent of the Parkers’ batting line up.

However, other than an 83 from skipper Chris Brittain, the visitors were ordinary at best with the bat.

Despite the loss, Delacombe is still equal fourth on points, however, they are 18 points behind Mt Martha.

Seaford is outright third on 30 points after getting the job done against Main Ridge.

Main Ridge was always on the back foot after being bowled out for just 138 on the first day of the match.

Seaford was resuming at 2/27 but 47 runs from Damien Lawrence assured the visitors of a victory.

Scott Millar was superb with the ball for the Ridge with 7/78. Seaford was eventually bowled out for 193.

Main Ridge had another hit and fared much better in their second innings, scoring 2/262, Michael Holmes top scoring with 79.

Somerville scraped over the line against Flinders, getting home in a thriller by just three runs.

Somerville was defending 191 and had Flinders resuming at 3/49. That quickly became 5/87.

However, Tommy Clements (34), Shane Beggs (40) and Andrew Power (30) all got among the runs, giving Flinders plenty of hope.

At one stage, Flinders was looking like it was in the box seat at 6/170.

However, the Sharks lost two quick wickets with the score on 171 and 173, before again looking in command at 8/188, just four runs shy of winning. However, they lost 2/0 to be bowled out for 188.

Aaron Kaddatz was superb with 4/53 for the Eagles, picking up the tail that was causing all the damage.

Matt Eager was also fantastic, picking up the key wickets of Tom Clements, Beggs and Power.

Hastings has clawed its way off the bottom of the ladder after a strong victory against Boneo.

The Blues went into the second day of its match in a commanding position after setting the opposition 234 for victory.

Boneo fell well short, bowled out for 143.

The skipper Timmy Birch led from the front, snaring 3/18, while Mitchell Floyd picked-up 3/26 to give him eight wickets for the season and Chris Sawosz helped himself to 2/13 from nine overs.

Stewart Mathieson top scored for the Pandas with 43, batting at nine.

Seaford Tigers were touched-up

by Baden Powell.

The Braves only made 180 in 80 overs on week one of the match, however, bowled out the home side for just 147 on the second day.

Corey Hand was once again a shining light for the Tigers with a top score of 44.

The win gave the Braves their first points for the season.

Frogs and Buds are well clear of the pack SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Rosebud are 12 points clear at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after recording comfortable victories on Saturday.

Tootgarook was defending 249 against the Yabbies and had the visitors 1/23 overnight.

Tyabb added only a further 117 runs to the total before being bowled out for just 140.

After making 39 with the bat on the first day of the match, Matt Whelan had a day out with the ball on the

second day, picking up a game-high 7/42.

Rosebud also made light work of their opposition, snaring 15 wickets against Skye.

The Buds were defending 8/232 after batting well on the first week of the match.

Geoff Glaum was the unlikely star with the ball for the Buds with 4/34 from nine overs while Patrick Nagel helped himself to 3/16 off 11 overs.

Adam Bryant snared 2/16 from 13 overs, giving him 14 wickets for the season.

Skye skipper and keeper Rob Gruer

top scored for his side with 26.

The Buds went for the outright, however, could only manage five second innings wickets. Jason Nagel was the pick of the bowlers with 3/19.

A magnificent 116 from Gavin Moore ensured Pearcedale picked up the 12 points against Dromana.

The Hoppers made 180 in their time at the crease and had Pearcedale in a little bit of strife at 2/57 overnight.

However, Moore, who was resuming on 40, controlled the match on the second day and working his way to three figures while wickets fell around him.

Pearcedale was 5/87 at one stage and

then fell to 7/143.

When Moore went, the Dales were still 14 runs away from victory.

A fighting 30 from keeper Chris Whiteley, who was batting at nine, and 22 from number 11 Calvin Bypost saw the home side finish on 221, a 41 run victory in the end.

Jeff Bluhm was the best of the Hoppers’ bowlers with 5/58.

Balnarring was always going to defend its massive 6/335 against Frankston YCW, however, the Stonecats didn’t roll over.

Jack Greenwood is a star in the making and he was superb on

Saturday with 76, while Matty Lane was unbeaten on 45 after hitting three fours and a six.

Nathan Kleinig was the pick of the bowlers for the Saints, bowling 20 overs and finishing with 6/57.

In the final match, Carrum Downs and Ballam Park played out a draw.

The Knights set the Cougars 203 for victory and when the game came to a close at the end of the 80th over on the second day, the visitors were locked at 9/203.

Despite the draw, the Knights remain in the top four, eight points clear of Balnarring who are in fifth.

Panthers land a coach Peninsula Golf Classic a big hit FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE has finally signed a new coach.

After making a lot of phone calls and offering huge money, the Panthers finally opted to appoint their full forward Pat Heijden as coach.

Heijden will be supported by teammates Dylan Hoare and Mitchell Smith, who are assistants, while Juan and Jamie Merchan will assist off the field.

Despite getting the role, word on the street is that Heijden is heading overseas in January for a couple of months.

The Panthers passed-up the opportunity to appoint club legends Josh Beard and Shane Urbans, who would have been superb for the club.

It is certainly a case of ‘watch this space’ with Pearcedale this upcoming season.

Demons lose and gain After signing five players from Vermont a couple of weeks ago, Rye has said goodbye to a player who spends as much time away from the club as he does at it.

Aaron Findlay signed with The Basin on Thursday night.

Getting wind that this may happen, Rye was on the front foot, ensuring they had an ace up their sleeve and picked-up a full forward from Mooroolbark, 27-year-old Adrian Gileno.

Van Unen a Redleg Rye was hoping to sign Justin Van Unen, who kicked more than 100 goals a few seasons back, however, he has settled at Mt Eliza.

Eagles flying high Somerville has continued to welcome new faces to the club.

After signing Tommy Shaw (Seaford) and Scott Simpson (Dolphins), the word is that Chris Irving is also considering a move to the nest.

That news was on the back of former North Melbourne rookie Timmy McGennis signing with the club.

McGennis’ best mates and 2014 Frankston YCW premiership players Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe are also on their way to the nest.

A couple of questions! Where is Somerville getting the money to pay for these players and how do they fit them under the player points system?

Keeping in mind Somerville recruited Tim and David Hirst, Kane McKenzie and Cal Dixon last season.

Sharks not done After announcing that former St Kilda star Lenny Hayes is highly likely to play at Sorrento next season, we also hear that Darren Jolly has been linked with the club.

We have heard though that his asking price might be a bit too high, even for the Sharks!

THE fifth annual Mornington Peninsula Golf Classic was a huge success over the week of 5 to 10 October.

Almost 220 players travelled from around Australia and New Zealand to play the four tournament courses in this year’s Golf Classic – The Ocean Course at The National, Portsea, Flinders and The Dunes. Many golfers also enjoyed the opening day’s golf at Sorrento as well as the final day of golf at Mornington.

Groups of golfers from clubs such as Cronulla, Hawks Nest, Pennant Hills, Royal Canberra, Sanctuary Cove, Shortland Waters, South Lakes and Yowani joined with other golfers to play in the graded tournament.

The Men’s winner was James Rutter (7 handicap) from Hawks Nest with a score of 143 points. The runner up, with a score of 142 points, on a countback at The Dunes, was Steve McCosker (10.4 handicap), from Ryde-Parramatta. The women’s winner was Netti Buchanan (12.1 handicap) from Pennant Hills with a score of 127 points. The runner up was Sarah Hodgkinson (21.9 handicap) from New South Wales, with a score of 125 points. Sarah was the runner up also on a countback at Portsea.

The overall winner was James Rutter and the overall runner up was Steve McCosker. The winners were presented with their prizes at the Presentation Dinner on the last night at The National Golf Club - a truly gourmet dinner and a great night.

Five of our golfers were also presented with their “Five Year Participation” awards and to really join in the spirit, a couple of the five year golfers also wore their previous years’ Golf Classic

Mornington News 18 November 2014

THE all-new Kia Sorento made its European premiere in Paris in October, exhibiting a unique blend of style, practicality and technology, which builds on the success of the outgoing model.

The new’s SUV’s smoother, swept-back profile and deeply sculpted surfaces introduce a higher level of sophistication for the third-generation model, delivering a premium look and feel, with more space and numerous innovative features.

The designers of the third generation Kia Sorento named their inspiration for the new car as ‘Streetwolf’. Although the styling changes are evolutionary, they subtly alter the character of the new Sorento, highlighting its sleek, sinuous, profile, while creating a sophisticated appearance and ensuring the new model has a bolder on-the-road presence.

The front of the new Sorento incorporates long, wrap-around headlamps and more prominent fog-lamps, as well as a larger, more upright ‘tiger-nose’ grille, with a distinctive three-dimensional diamond pattern, first featured on the 2013 Kia Cross GT concept.

In profile, the new model retains the Sorento’s hallmark long bonnet and characteristic wide D-pillar, but a lower roofline, higher beltline and swept-back shape give the car a more dramatic, muscular stance.

The rear of the car features more prominent ‘shoulders’ and a highly sculpted registration plate surround. The latter is made possible by the introduction of new laser welding manufacturing techniques - a first for a Kia model - which renders weld lines invisible, meaning the Sorento can do without the traditional (jointmasking) garnish on the tailgate.

The sleeker look of the new Sorento is enhanced by its increased length (+95 mm to 4,780 mm), reduced height (down 15 mm to 1,685

mm) and extra width (+5 mm to 1,890 mm).

The exterior styling of the new car was led

by Kia’s Namyang design studio in Korea, with significant input from the brand’s Frankfurt, Germany and Irvine, California design studios.

Inside the all-new Sorento is where some of the most significant improvements are to be found. Interior styling was led by the brand’s European design team, based in Frankfurt, and Kia’s designers have created a more sophisticated, more luxurious cabin, featuring significantly higher quality materials.

The styling of the cabin follows a ‘modern and wide’ theme, providing the interior with a stable, horizontal layout and appearance. This width is echoed in the wider instrument cluster, interior garnish and the wrap-around shape of the dashboard which extends into the door trims.

A higher proportion of soft-touch materials and leather creates a modern luxury feel to the cabin and gives the new Sorento a genuine premium vehicle ambience.

One of the most distinctive interior styling features is the Swiss watch-inspired user interface, which incorporates Kia’s latest HMI (human-machine interface) technologies, surrounded by new silver-look border.

The flowing contours of the dashboard rise to incorporate the driver’s instrument binnacle, while the smoothly-styled design curve in the doors, which leads from the audio speakers up to the SUV-style grab handles, also endows the cabin with a more luxurious, sophisticated appearance.

Customers will be able to specify the interior in either single-tone (black) or two-tone (black and stone beige) colour schemes with cloth or leather trim. Additionally, brown or light gray colour schemes in leather trim will be offered as an option.
