SUMMER

Australia day on the peninsula MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will be hosting a number of events on Thursday January 26 to celebrate Australia Day. The family-friendly celebrations will feature live music concerts, fun runs, spectacular firework displays, traditional flag raising ceremonies and loads of entertainment for everyone in the family. Thousands of people will line Main Street Mornington to cheer on more than 40 community, sporting and cultural groups as they make their way to Mornington Park for the Australia Day parade.

This year the parade will showcase the Mornington Fire Brigade who are celebrating their 100 year centenary. The crew will be on show with their vintage firefighting equipment and vehicles during the parade. Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Bev Colomb said she is looking forward to coming together with the local community to celebrate what it means to be an Australian. “I strongly encourage all residents to join in with the Australia Day festivities across the peninsula. Australia Day is a great time to acknowledge those in our community who are making

GUIDE

a real difference, especially our volunteers who are the heart and soul of communities across the peninsula. I wish everyone a fantastic Australia Day as we celebrate our great country and our great peninsula,” said Councillor Colomb. This year, when uploading a photo or posting on social media, don’t forget to use #ausdaymornpen to see how everyone across the peninsula is celebrating Australia Day. For more information on Australia Day visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/ australiaday.

Wilson rocks Australia Day

WHEN you’ve been in the music industry as long as Ross Wilson, doing a gig like Australia Day is a lot more like fun than hard work. Ross Wilson and the Peaceniks will hit the peninsula this Australia Day, January 26, for a rocking concert at the Mornington Foreshore. From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock, as a solo artist to songwriter, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most respected and well-known artists. From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem Eagle Rock smashed all previous sales records in Australia to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering hits such as ‘Cool World’, ‘State of The Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’, and ‘Come said The Boy’ before Ross left to pursue a solo career. Finding fame and fortune with Daddy Cool in the early 70s, Wilson says he realized after the band dispersed how hard it had been to handle that kind of notoriety. “I kind of realized I was a bit nuts at the time. First of all you go around and the spotlight is on you and you become a bit overwhelmed, so when Mondo Rock took off I was more prepared,” said Wilson, who started out singing in the school choir and in a band at school. “I grew up in a musical household so got into my first band at school, and playing gigs weekends. Then I decided to take a leap off the ledge without a net and got into it full time,” says Wilson. “My parents were very supportive. Dad really never mentioned it as a problem and over time I proved to him that I

could make it work.” As for longevity, Wilson says being in the position of a lead singer and a writer gives him the ability to marshal all the forces together and direct what’s going on, as well producing other albums like Skyhooks. “When I saw Skyhooks I sort of became their mentor. I was sticking up for them and watching out for them in the industry. I was really glad they signed with Mushroom because I didn’t want them to be censored.” The most difficult part of the 40-year journey, he says, was being young and a little naïve. “When you start off young and full of enthusiasm you tend to be more trusting so you have to learn. It’s the classic story of artists being exploited. These days it’s a lot more business like though with more resources available. There was no such thing as showbiz lawyers and little advice when we started out.” These days Wilson’s musical tastes are varied. “My musical style has changed a bit I think and I’m always looking for something different. I’m a music omnivore,” he says with a laugh. “We will definitely play Eagle Rock though. Its Australia day so what could be more Australian than Eagle rock?” Ross Wilson and the Peaceniks will be at Mornington Australia Day on Thursday, January 26, 2017 at the Mornington foreshore.

Lantasia dreaming LANTASIA Dreaming transforms the Mornington Peninsula’s Boneo Maze into an ethereal Night Garden this Summer, as Boneo Maze and Gardens evolve into a living canvas where light dances on the landscape. The enchanting gardens and wetlands of Boneo Maze in Fingal have provided the inspiration for over 80 hand-crafted lanterns at dusk. As the sun sets, the lights of the stunning silk sculptures illuminate in the natural landscape and a journey into fantasy and tranquility begins. The lanterns whisper the story of Australian animals and plants and explore ideas underpinning Aboriginal Dreamtime stories. Children and adults alike will be captivated by the glow of the gardens as they wander 27 acres of garden, boardwalks and outdoor play spaces. With Lantasia returning for its second year these specially designed new sculptures captivate visitors as they transform bush land and peaceful gardens into a dream like walk-through journey. Dreamtime characters will shimmer on the landscape as visitors encounter the Elder wombat, Waa the wise crow, the heroic eagle Bunjil, the thirsty frog Tiddalik and their friends. Mesmerising 3m high sculptures cast shimmering reflections over the lakes and waterways at Boneo Maze, while cute illuminated critters inspire imagination. Working in collaboration with Lionel Lauch, of Living Culture (a Gunditjmara Kirrae Wurrung-Bundjalung man) alongside his niece Carla Lauch, visitors young and old will learn more about Aboriginal Australia through Lionel’s didgeridoo meditation performances, bush tucker gatherings and tools and weapons demonstrations. Each evening in Summer as the sun sets and the sky turns pink, then inky black the mythical and magical sculptures really come to life. In

the games garden, families can picnic under the stars surrounded by glowing sculptures or enjoy supper at the lakeside café as you watch the gardens glow. Frog calls and bush sounds mingle with laughter and chatter– this is an outdoor experience like no other in a truly magical setting. After a successful Lantasia season last summer for Boneo Maze, Managers Tyson Savanah and Justine Watt are thrilled to incorporate new designs and storytelling elements into this year’s event, which play a starring role in the natural amphitheater. “By opening the gardens of Boneo Maze again, creating unique light sculpture ambience, we’re hoping to bring a little bit of magic to the Mornington Peninsula,” said Tyson. Boneo Maze’s popular twilight mini-golf is included in ticket entry price and their newly licensed cafe will serve Indigenous inspired meals accompanied by locally sourced Mornington Peninsula wines and beers. LANTASIA at Boneo Maze opens nightly from 26th December, 2016. Tickets available at the gate. Jump online for www.boneomaze.com.au to pre purchase tickets and dinner deals.

Salvos’ set safety zone for Main St A BRIGHT yellow food van is at the centre of a four-hour safety zone at the corner of Main and Barkly streets, Mornington. The Main St Salvos will be in the zone until the end of February handing out free bottles of water and sweet to revellers on their way out or on their way home. “We have a few new additions this time round,� the Salvos Sean Mapleback said. “We have a generator which allows us be mobile if needed, we have music to create some atmosphere, additional lighting and phone chargers if people have a flat battery and need to call a mate or a taxi.� The Salvos will be trialling a fourperson team to walk up and down the shopping strip with water and sweets. “We understand that summer is a busy time for Main St and we want people to know that we are here for them,� Lieutenant Mapleback said. “We offer a safe place to come if people need to talk to someone, or simply need a break or some time out.� The Main St Salvos will operate 10pm-2am, New Year’s Eve and 11pm-3am Saturday nights.

Shire ‘improved’ before critical report – mayor Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Council Shire already made significant steps towards transparency this year as a result of a Victorian Ombudsman’s investigation into council practices, according to the mayor Cr Bev Colomb. However, a report on the investigation has highlighted shortfalls in the way the shire, and several other councils, “serve the public interest” when making decisions. Ombudsman Deborah Glass released her report last Thursday (15 December) into the state’s 79 councils, Investigation Into the Transparency of Local Government Decision Making, which found that transparency was “a random matter” across the state. After gathering evidence from council staff, CEOs, mayors and councillors, Ms Glass has recommended new legal standards to ensure “consistency” of processes and a clear understanding of what “transparency looks like”. Mornington Peninsula was one of 12 councils to be investigated in depth by the ombudsman, who examined key areas of transparency such as closed meetings, public access to meetings and agendas, councillor briefings and live streaming of meetings. Cr Colomb said the council had “for some time” been mindful of conducting decision making “as much as possible” in meetings open to the public.

She defended the council’s record on holding meetings behind closed doors, and said the percentage of items in camera was one of the lowest in the report. The ombudsman’s report found that many councils made too many decisions “in secret” or “behind closed doors”, and that some councils decide almost all contractual matters in closed meetings, despite that not being mandated by the Act. She recommended that the new Act introduce a “public interest” test for the closing of meetings. In her report, Ms Glass described transparency as a human rights’ issue that must be a cornerstone of local government practice, “not merely a box to be ticked”. However, her investigations found evidence of poor practice across many councils. She said while individuals might not always agree with council decisions, “transparency allows them to understand their council’s reasoning and can address any suspicions of impropriety in the decision making process”. The ombudsman found several factors led to concerns about impropriety, such as councillors voting together “en bloc”, the timely availability of agendas, live streaming/broadcasting of meetings and procedures for notices of motions. Mornington fell short in several areas recommended for improvement, by not making council agendas available at least five days before meetings;

not video recording or live streaming meetings; not easily allowing notices of motion; and not audio recording special meetings. It is also the only council in the state not to adhere to the Local Government Act requirement to give public notice of special council meetings in a local newspaper at least seven days before a meeting and one of only four which does not give the requited notice for ordinary meetings. Cr Colomb said council meetings were audio recorded but that videoing meetings in the future would “depend on a decision from council”. “We have already had good feedback about our public decision making and the good quality of our debate and we are very keen to continue with this,” she said. The shire was praised for holding meetings in different locations, which Ms Glass pointed out was a means to “improve accessibility” to the community, and for supporting councillor education. Cr Colomb said councillors had recently been through an “extensive induction process” with elements of training, including meeting procedure inclusive of good governance and good practice. One CEO surveyed pointed out that despite delivering training to councillors, education “doesn’t turn them into decent human beings that care about their community”.

Gold for ropes course IT’S a big leap from the International Association for Universal Design Awards in Japan to the ropes course at Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza. But now they are linked: Australia’s first universally designed ropes course at the camp received a gold award in the tourism, inclusive culture and mobility category at this year’s awards. Set in the tree-tops, the ropes course allows participants of all abilities to choose how they travel around the course. They may use a scooter, skateboard, bike or the Cloud Rider, a purpose built wheelchair. The course last month won an

award at the 2016 Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation awards. Camp Manyung is one of five recreation camps owned by the state government and run by the YMCA aimed at giving everyone the chance to “reconnect with the great outdoors”. “Camp Manyung isn’t just a great day out, it’s an important way of ensuring there are no barriers to sport and recreation,” Sport Minister John Eren said. “Victoria is the sporting state, and that means ensuring everybody has a chance to enjoy the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.”

Petition over arcade plan Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TRADERS worried about losing their businesses to a Mornington arcade development were out collecting signatures for a petition in Main St last week. Plenty of sympathetic shoppers were eager to sign the petition which states in part: “Did you know that demolition is planned for 55-61 Main St, the lovely set of four shops in a heritage building dating back to 1901? A shopping arcade, offices and apartments (three storeys high) right smack bang in the middle of Main St’s quaint little shopping strip. “Please sign this petition if you are against the building of a shopping arcade.” The traders fear the proposed development, opposite Blake St, will force them out of their businesses and ruin the heritage feel of the area which is partly protected by a heritage overlay. Their four shops were sold for $4.2 million after being built in 1902 and renovated in the 1930s. Businesses affected are Eco D, Koh Living, an optometrist, and a tea shop, with two having been trading successfully for 15 years. The shire’s planning services executive manager David Bergin said a permit had been approved for a mixed use shopping arcade with a basement car park, shops, offices and nine apartments. “As part of heritage considerations, the permit requires preservation of the

existing shop frontages to Main St,” he said. The interiors will be gutted. Trader Tui Cordemans, of Koh Living, is adamant she will fight for her livelihood: “I wonder if the [shire] planning department ever thought about where the four shop owners would be able to go? It’s not like there are four small shops for us to go to on Main St.” A former tenant, Pomme’s Sue Clement, said she was “amazed” that the redevelopment application had gone through. “It’s unbelievable that people who adore the older-style shops didn’t complain louder,” she said. “It’s going to be a big development and, with the high density of apartments already behind it, how does it make sense?” Leases under which the four trad-

ers operate mean they can be asked to leave at short notice, although Ms Cordemans claims to have a fiveyear lease with a two-year demolition clause. Developer Rocky Surace, says he agreed to retain the heritage shopfronts even though there was no legal requirement for him to do so, said that in January 2014 he had offered the traders five-year leases with one-year demolition clauses. “That meant that if we decided to develop we would give them a year’s notice to vacate, but they weren’t happy with that,” he said. “They asked for six-month demolition clauses in case they found new shops in, say, four months, and didn’t want to have to pay out six months of their leases, and we accepted that.

Expansion OK

“I wanted them to feel secure even though the demolition clause is there. “We’ve been fair. The one-year demolition clause is standard practice.” Mr Surace said the $7-$8 million arcade redevelopment was not imminent. “I have told the lessees that we don’t plan to do anything soon. We may not develop for five years, in fact we may sell and never develop.” But Ms Cordemans said a request by leasing agents Vinci Carbone for the tenants to sign “already-filled-out” Section 21 notices – giving them the right to end their tenancies quickly – was fuelling their unease. She called the Small Business Commission to complain after feeling “bullied” over the Section 21 notices. “We have a contract [lease] yet we were not even six weeks in the building when they tried to force the notices onto us,” she said. Vinci Carbone director Frank Vinci said he “could categorically state that the [landlord] has adhered to every aspect of the agreements which have been made with the lessees”. Main St Pro Fitness & Health proprietor Dom Hudson said: “I think it is important that [people’s] voices are heard. I have no allegiance to any of the shopkeepers so it is through passion and, for once, speaking up that has prompted me to speak out. “The heritage and uniqueness of Main St will definitely be lost ... and it seems the shire picks and chooses what suits it. “Sometimes situations need to be more than just money and this is one situation. Where will it end?”

A BID to reverse a council decision to grant a planning permit to extend the Willow Creek Winery at Merricks North failed to gain support at this month’s meeting of Mornington Peninsula Shire. Cr Hugh Fraser put up a notice of motion to rescind the decision to allow the construction of a $26 million luxury hotel with 46 rooms and two restaurants at 166 Balnarring Rd, Merricks North. He argued green wedge regulations limited patronage on the 18-hectare site to a maximum of 150 people at any one time. Cloud Investments won council backing in late November (“Winery can expand – shire”, The News 13/12/16) to allow about 280 people on the site. Crs Simon Brooks, Antonella Celi, Rosie Clark, Julie Edge, Sam Hearn, Frank Martin and Bryan Payne voted on 28 November to approve the planning application. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb and Crs Fraser, David Gill and Kate Roper voted against the application. At the council meeting on 12 December, Crs Brooks, Fraser and Gill backed the rescission motion. Crs Hearn, Clark, Roper, Edge, Payne, Martin, Celi and Colomb voted against reversing the November decision. Neil Walker

Images of community spirit MORNINGTON Peninsula volunteers are being celebrated for their contributions to the community in a Face of Volunteering booklet and photographic exhibition. The exhibition and booklet captures the portraits and stories of 16 volunteers, whose work supports the services and activities integral to various peninsula communities. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said thousands of volunteers across the peninsula gave their time throughout the year in many ways “to help make our community a great place to live”. “Volunteers work in health care, aged care, supporting people with disabilities, rescuing wildlife, caring for the environment, rais-

ing funds for charities, providing emergency services, mentoring our young people and much more,” she said. “The booklet encapsulates the motivations, rewards and differences volunteering makes to not only people’s lives, but to the volunteer’s lives. I encourage the community to see this inspirational exhibition.” To volunteer visit: volmornpen.com.au For details contact Kate Stuart via 5950 1638 or Kate.Stuart@mornpen.vic.gov.au. The exhibition is on until 16 December at Bentons Square Shopping Centre. The booklet is available at the exhibition, shire customer service centres, libraries and community houses.

We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

New home for home carers AFTER seven months of planning, renovation, refurbishment, tradies, dust and dirt, the Peninsula Home Hospice (PHH) is operating from its new Mornington offices. Previously PHH had been working from two separate sites - Golf Links Rd, Frankston and Railway Grove, Mornington - but now, for the first time in more than 10 years, it is being run from one office. “Since the organisation began in 1984, PHH has relocated on several occasions, largely to accommodate growing demand for services and meet the increasing need for space and facilities that reflect the growing role and importance of the organisation within the community,” CEO Rachel Bovenizer said. “The [latest] building was very dated and required a complete overhaul, including installation of an internal lift for disabled access, with the end result being a home of which we are all extremely proud and one that provides more readily accessible service for our clients and carers, both now and into the future.” PHH supports on the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston

and south of Mordialloc Creek who are living with a terminal illness and choose to receive palliative care in their home. “The new premises provide us with new opportunity. We now have an independent profile that is visible to the community, the location is central to our client base and we have the space to create different programs to address the changing needs of people facing the end of their lives,” Ms Bovenizer said. “As well as the chance to expand on client services, the organisation is keen to develop new corporate partnerships throughout its service delivery area, such as the one with Mornington Village Pharmacy, which works closely with the nursing team to provide information and access to specific palliative care medication.” Mrs Bovenizer said the future of PHH “depends on community support”. PHH, at 327 Main St, Mornington, opens 9am-5pm Monday to Friday, (excluding public holidays), visit www. peninsulahospice.com.au or call 5973 2400.

Call to check clifftop ‘land grabs’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A RATEPAYER group is calling for surveys to make sure public land has not been included within the fence lines of multi-million dollar clifftop properties at Mt Eliza. And once the surveys are done, the group wants a walking track built along the clifftop from Jacksons Rd to Pelican Point, near Daveys Bay. In a budget submission to Mornington Peninsula Shire, the Mt Eliza Foreshore Advisory Group (MEFAG) says the proposed walking track would provide the “missing link” between Canadian and Daveys bays. The submission ranges from calling on the shire to stop nudists from leaving the “optional dress” area of Sunnyside beach, to managing car parks, off-lease areas for dogs and updating aerial images on the shire’s website. The group says a new path on the cliff would fix the lack of beach access cause by erosion, rising sea levels and exposed rocks. It alleges Crown land between Jacksons and Freemans roads “has been ‘acquired’ by several abutting landowners as ‘their land’ and most of these landowners frown on anybody who ventures along the top edge of the cliff face”. MEFAG chairman Des Berry says the shire should survey the land and then “negotiate fencing options” with property owners and protect a known Aboriginal midden before building a path which would also serve as a firebreak.

Quarry quarrels MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors will decide whether to oppose the resumption of quarrying at Dromana land owned by Hillview Quarries after a VCAT pre-hearing next year testing the validity of previous planning permit that expired in March 2004. Councillors at last Monday’s public council meeting postponed finalising a council position on a bid by Hillview Quarries to extend the life of the quarry at 121 Boundary Rd, Dromana. A Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal pre-hearing conference on 14 March next year will hear submissions by Hillview Quarries and objectors to an extension of the quarry licence before a possible full five-day hearing in May if mediation fails to find common ground. Some objectors believe the company is trying to dodge a previously agreed deal to clean up the quarry site at an estimated cost of $3 million by extending the permit indefinitely.

New brewery Violent crumble: The Mt Eliza Foreshore Advisory Group is calling for cliffs at Pelican Point to be stabilised and for a walking track to be completed between Canadian Bay and Daveys bays.

He said the need for a path had been “highlighted since the closing of the Pelican Point lookout and beach access path since 2009”. The realignment of boundaries in high value property area is not without precedent as in late 2009 the shire forced the demolition of a swimming pool belonging to the family of billionaire Solomon Lew. The MEFAG submission says the

Mt Eliza foreshore management plan adopted by council in 2004 had shortcomings and needs rewriting. If the rewrite was too expensive for council’s planning department “MEFAG members are available to assist owing to members’ skillsets, experience and local knowledge”. Other issues covered in the MEFAG submission include improvements to the Canadian Bay beach car park

which was largely unchanged since the 1970s; calling for a new toilet at Sunnyside Beach, a project accepted by councillors 10 years ago but never realised; replanting trees on the cliffs of Daveys Bay “suspected” of being cut down to improve views: stabilise cliffs at Pelican Point where a lookout and walking track have been closed since 2009

A BREWERY will be built at Fingal, on land formerly owned by the Freedman brothers to train thoroughbred race horses, after Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors approved an application by site owner Andrew Purchase to eventually brew beer and cider at the green wedge site. Some councillors at last Monday evening’s public council meeting voiced disapproval about alcohol being shipped in to be sold at the brewery for the first few years of the new venture’s existence. It will take at least five years for enough hops and barley to be grown on the 160 Sandy Rd land.

New lodgings: Koals from French Island are settling into a forest in central Victoria as part of a trial to see if translocation is part of the answer to saving the island from being overpopulated by the leaf eaters.

Tree changers move away from island home Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MOVING house is seen by psychologists as being one of the most stressful of undertakings and the same probably applies to koalas. Monitoring stress in people is not too hard – just listen. But when it comes to koalas a more scientific is necessary. Thirty koalas relocated from French Island to a forest near Tallarook in central Victoria have been fitted with a radio collar so their movements and wellbeing can be closely monitored. Scientists decided it was best to make the move after the ever-increasing numbers of koalas started to eat their way through their island home. While appearing slow moving and sleepy, the koalas have steadily overbrowsed eucalypts on French Island to

the point where starvation has become a probability. Koalas were introduced to the island and, as well as being disease-free compared to colonies on the mainland, have increased in numbers to the extent that they are having a detriment effect on the island’s environment. If the 30 koalas now resident at Tallarook make a healthy transition they could be followed next year by “a much larger scale translocation”. “The release of Koalas at the new site went smoothly and early signs are positive,” principal scientist at the Arthur Rylah Institute Peter Menkhorst, said. The translocation trial is being carried out by the institute and Parks Victoria. Mr Menkhorst said the Tallarook forest contained several eucalypt species known to be eaten by koalas and had a low resident population of koalas.

“Upon release, all of the koalas moved freely into the new area and most began eating leaves immediately,” he said. “We carried out a check of the koalas several days post-release, and while we weren’t able to sight the koalas, the signals received from their radio-monitoring collars show all are alive. “The radio frequencies also showed that some of the koalas have moved away from their release site, a positive sign in that they are actively exploring their new home. “We will continue to monitor their survival over the next two months, and carry out health and weight checks at the end of that period.” The trial translocation follows a fertility control and health check program, carried out on more than 400 French Island koalas, to help stabilise the population.

Home invasion risks on rise Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au HOUSES in some southeast suburbs are more than twice as likely to be burgled as the average Victorian home, the RACV’s analysis of the 2015-16 crime statistics reveals. The average burglary rate rose from onein-74 homes to one-in-68 homes, as the number of burglaries reported to police increased by 10 per cent across the state. The RACV’s interactive digital map can zoom in on any postcode to find out its burglary rate. Mornington Peninsula postcodes continued to feature after making the top 10 for the first time last year. This year, Rye, Shoreham and Balnarring were all deemed riskier than average, with Hastings in equal 10th place due to a 1-in-34 home burglary rate. RACV home services and security general manager Aaron Flavell said different areas were attractive to burglars for different reasons – new home estates are known to have many new goods and, in some instances, border on socio-economically challenged areas. High-turnover rental areas are also vulnerable partly due to neighbours not knowing each other. “RACV encourages all Victorians to get to know their neighbours and look out for each other,” he said. “Our analysis clearly shows that residents in some areas have a higher-than-average risk of being burgled in any one year. “While there are often complex reasons why some areas have higher burglary rates than others, homeowners can effectively reduce their

chance of being burgled by increasing the would-be burglar’s risk of being disturbed or caught. “Unfortunately, burglary victims are at high risk of being targeted again as burglars often return to steal new items which have been bought to replace the stolen goods. Neighbours are also at an increased risk. “Research shows that burglars are less likely to target a property if a security system is present, so consider installing a monitored security alarm system.” Crime Statistics Agency data shows that the rate of home invasions statewide soared by 40 per cent. Frankston North and Pines Forest were fifth in the ranking, with last year’s 1-in-46 homes rising to 1-in-26 this year. “While the surge in home invasions is concerning, the vast majority of burglaries took place when no one was home,” Mr Flavell said. “Home invasions are a remote risk, so it is important to keep it in perspective, but also to know what you can do to prepare to be safe and reduce the risks for you and your family. “If you should get burgled while at home, the safety of you and your family is paramount. You should never confront offenders but focus on staying safe while trying to call 000,” he said. Most stolen items are cash, electrical appliances and jewellery, which should be kept out of sight to slow thieves down or deter them. Most burglars are looking for a quick grab and getaway.

Dam discussion by shire ‘next year’ MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has confirmed it will discuss the future of the former South East Water reservoir in Kunyung Rd, Mt Eliza, with the water authority early next year. At last week’s council meeting, Mt Eliza resident and planning activist Rebecca Taylor asked the council whether it could confirm that “preserving the Kunyung reservoir as a public conservation and recreation zone (PCR2) will be formally tabled at the next meeting to be dealt with early next year”. Ms Taylor, who started the Kunyung Says No residents’ group and an online petition to save the land, has been pushing for the council to be “transparent” about its dealings with South East Water. Chief operating officer Alison Leighton told

the meeting the council’s planning team had committed to “consultation” with South East Water regarding the future of that land, and the matter would be “dealt with” in the New Year. President of the South Eastern Centre for Sustainability, Steve Karakitsos, said he was hopeful that “constructive dialogue” can begin to resolve the land’s future and protect it from development. In early 2014 the water authority asked the shire to rezone its 2.8 hectare reservoir land on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads, east of Kunyung Rd, for 24 housing blocks of about 1000 square metres each, worth about $450,000 a block or $10.8 million. The dam was decommissioned in 1999 and has become a haven for wildlife. Liz Bell

Plan for planning committee OFFICERS will report to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council about forming a planning committee so councillors can be pre-briefed on planning applications and future planning scheme amendments before they are debated at public meetings. The report will be tabled at next year’s March council meeting after councillors unanimously backed Cr David Gill’s notice of motion to have council officers look at options for a planning committee. Cr Gill had previously voiced frustration at being unable to have a notion of motion heard to investigate the formation of a planning committee.

“We don’t have the ability to have a planning committee because even a notice of motion is rejected by the CEO when I try to raise this issue,” Cr Gill said at November’s public council meeting. At last Monday’s council meeting, CEO Carl Cowie wondered “what in particular is broken for council that requires such a planning committee”. Cr Gill said democratically-elected councillors “do not have enough time” at public council meetings to discuss town planning matters and any help from council officers to set aside more time for planning discussions would be beneficial.

MANAGEMENT of the Port of Hastings will come under state government control on 1 July next year. The government has decided against renewing its port management lease with the LINX Cargo Group, owned by asset manager Brookfield, and the Port of Hastings Development Authority will take over as port manager. “The Port of Hastings will continue to be very much open for business throughout this transition period and well into the future as a key bulk port for Victoria,” the authority’s CEO Malcolm Geier said. “The Port of Hastings is one of Victoria's key bulk ports and as Victoria’s deepest bulk port offers significant development opportunities. “The Port of Hastings Development Authority will increase its staffing and employ a workforce of a similar size to that presently employed by LINX and the authority to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities on 1 July 2017.” The 10 staff employed by LINX at Stony Point have been told that their jobs will be advertised by the authority. It will be the first influx of new staff for the authority since the loss of dozens of jobs in the wake of Labor’s at 2014 election win and its decision to abandon plans for a new container port at Hastings. Timelines for any expansion of the port are not likely to be known until next May when Infrastructure Victoria releases recommendations on the location of the state’s second container terminal. Bulk products, mainly LNG (liquefied natural gas), are already shipped from Hastings and the biggest fear held by environmentalists is that the

port could be used to export brown coal. Previous state governments – Liberal and Labor – have backed Hastings as a site for a new container port, but the current government changed tack and nominated Bay West in Port Phillip as its preferred location. A report just released by Infrastructure Victoria recommends three major infrastructure projects for the next 30 years, none of which involve ports. While noting the May 2017 deadline for recommendations on a second container port, Infrastructure Victoria’s December report does mention further expansion to “the capacity of the Port of Melbourne through a range of measures, including the extension of berths, the use of Webb Dock exclusively for containers, relocating the car import/export trade, landside investment and technology improvements at both Webb and Swanson docks”. “However, it should be noted that the most efficient way of accommodating growing container volumes in Victoria is to increase the capacity of the Port of Melbourne whenever this should be needed, and to the extent that this is feasible,” the report states. “Improvements in port productivity are anticipated to have positive impacts on businesses involved in international trade. By increasing the productivity of the supply chain, this option is also likely to positively affect general business costs and economic growth. “Expansion of the container capacity at the Port of Melbourne may attract larger vessels to the port, which may potentially increase safety risks, and the risks of disruption. Conversely, there may be limits to the size of ships that can access the port, due to the constraints of the Port Philip Heads access, or the West Gate Bridge.” Coincidentally, the Seraja Enam, reputed to be the largest container ship to come to Australia, sailed past Victoria to NSW to berth in Port Bota-

ny on Wednesday 23 November. Former Port of Hastings harbourmaster Dick Cox, said the 14.8 metre draft Seraja Enam “is too deep to get through Port Phillip Heads let alone up the Yarra River and probably couldn’t get under the West Gate Bridge either”. He told The News on Friday that ships of that size could easily sail to an expanded Port of Hastings, although dredging would be required to provide a turning circle. Mr Cox said the dredging was “a fair amount, but not as much as [opponents to the port expansion] are saying”. In an article in the Tyabb & District Ratepayers, Business & Environmental Group newsletter, Mr Cox discusses maintaining “the position of Victoria having the premier container port in Australia?” “We obviously have to have a port with channels that can take vessels of this size safely every day, and that is not Port Phillip Heads at this point in time, can we make it so? Of course we can - engineers only have to follow the guidelines covered by the Internationally-accepted PIANC Report 121- 2014 Harbour Approach Channels Design Guidelines, which will probably tell them that the Port Phillip Entrance Channel has to be three times the width and two metres deeper than it is now. “No problem, the experts will be able to tell us how much extra water will come and go out through the Heads with the tide, make for wider beaches at low water. Mind you, where the high water mark will be is anyone’s guess. “Or simply build the berths at Hastings as the channels to Long Island Point can take vessels up to 15.8 metres draft now.”

Speed check app for Link drivers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CONTROVERSY over a slew of speeding fines on Peninsula Link may have been avoided if motorists had been able to use Julian Varricchio’s latest innovation. The 24-year-old from Dromana has developed a free phone app that constantly displays and records a driver’s real-time speed – especially useful in point-to-point calculations, such as on freeways. The data can be used to determine an average speed and then be exported and possibly used as evidence to fight speeding infringements using what Mr Varricchio believes is incontrovertible data. “The end goal is that drivers will be recording all their trips and providing themselves with accurate data on their driving,” he said. Superintendent Glenn Weir, divisional commander of Southern Metro, which covers Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, doubts the app’s potential abilities. “It sounds like a gimmick to me,” he said. “It might be a genius idea, but it has no scientific basis. It’s like those breathalysers you have at home – not worth the trouble.” However, the data would have been useful for the 60 drivers fined in October for travelling at 108kph in the same section of Peninsula Link. On Friday, the drivers were issued notices to say although police believed offences had been committed no further action would be taken

Remand over assault A MCCRAE woman suffered serious injuries during an altercation with a man at their home, early morning Wednesday 14 December. Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the 43-year-old was taken to The Alfred hospital after the incident at the house they shared at Bentley Rd. She was placed in an induced coma suffering serious facial and skull fractures. Police will allege the man, 32, assaulted the woman, around 5.306.30am, but the circumstances are yet to be determined. The man appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Wednesday, and the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, Thursday, for a filing hearing.

against them at this stage. The drivers have suggested that point-to-point cameras on the freeway are faulty, with many claiming they always use cruise control, making it unlikely they averaged 108kph in the alleged timeframe of three minutes six seconds. “I became sick of hearing that there was no way to prove that [those] drivers weren’t speeding, as the cameras are presumed to be correct,” Mr Var-

ricchio said. “I’ve been working hard these past few months to have an app developed that will help provide data that proves the average speed the drivers were doing.” The app: Fine Mate – Speedometer is suitable only for iPhones at present, but will be made suitable for androids soon, he hopes. It works by tapping into the core location service of the phone. “We are aiming for the broader market in

future but, at the moment it just suits users of Peninsula Link.” Mr Varricchio said the main issue when discussing speed cameras on Peninsula Link is that there was not enough consistent evidence and data. “I’m hoping that my app can provide a low cost solution to the public, especially on the Mornington Peninsula, and generate enough data and results that they can be used effectively,” he said.

Sub-par break-in OFFENDERS broke into a storage shed at the Flinders Golf Club, Bass St, overnight Wednesday 14 December. They used a sharp implement to force open the door to the shed, which was full of greenkeeping equipment, and damaged greens and fairways. It was not known what was stolen, Thursday.

As a man, there’s no way I’d choose to be a woman The problems that some women face in their day to day lives makes me think that I would not be a woman for quids. When some get married, they bear and raise children, cook a bloke’s meals and keep a clean house. In appreciation, some men bash the wives senseless and, after years of abuse, kill her and sometimes the children as well because she tries to leave the violent home life behind. The law seems to be hamstrung or unwilling to help. These women and their children are forced to search for alternative accommodation while the husband sits comfy in the marital home, complaining about or ignoring intervention orders. Funding is inadequate to assist abused women and children, yet $60 billion can be found to give overseas and local companies tax breaks. Young women are criticised about how they dress and they are questioned on their wisdom of walking about unescorted when they should be entitled to dress and go where they like without the uninvited attention of some drunken violent yob. The disconcerting thing is that some women come out in defence of these violent men and blame the young woman for somehow seducing him. The work place should be a safe environment but this is not so for women. They get sexually harassed by male workmates and bosses who seem to think it’s their divine right to molest them. If she gets a promotion, the thought is, ‘well, she must have slept with the boss’. Harassment is most certainly not in the job description and she is supposed to accept this treatment for less pay. Let’s face it, in all aspects it’s all about male dominance and to hell with equality. I could go on but, no sir, I would not be a woman for quids. John Cain, McCrae

Change through stealth The two letters (“Fewer cats will be killed if owners obey the law”, “Argentina’s dog race ban”, The News 6/12/16) regarding an individual’s idea for the elimination of unrestricted domestic cats and over restricted greyhound racing dogs seemed to call for euthanasia as a solution. Perhaps an easy conclusion with not too much thought (what if it is wild animals causing problems?). Is euthanasia the current buzz word to solve problems of inconvenience, even by some humans to other humans in our sophisticated society? The current Victorian government may think so. We should be very aware that certain interested people with a singular view are trying to impose so-called “respectful relationships and safe school programs” into our schools as an indoctrination of the Fabian philosophy whose idea was to eliminate all trace of the Judeo/ Christian ethos, by which great effort, we have

been privileged to live under for millennia. Their idea was to introduce it softly, softly through all levels of the education system. They have three major intents: to fragment the traditional family unit; to destroy the innocence of children; and, by any means possible, bring into disgrace the Roman Catholic priesthood. Maureen Federico, Frankston South

Green wedge threat So a majority of our councillors think it’s OK to thrash our green wedge a little more. The Willow Creek winery development has been given the support of the pro-development crew in our new [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council. If this is what the councillors call protecting the green wedge, the future of the green lungs of the peninsula are in great trouble. The owners of willow Creek were perfectly aware of the rules for green wedge land holdings when they pushed ahead with the much disliked proposal to build this unreasonably large development. The decision to almost double patrons’ numbers for this site and, possibly, allowing opening hours to be expanded, is another nail in the coffin of our green wedge. Of course these strange decisions seem always to affect Red Hill ward the most. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

All hail the cab Throughout my ponderings - morning coffee at my local cafe and afternoons at the local RSL - I receive many complaints as to the nature of things here in downtown Rye. By a country mile the biggest complaint is the long wait for taxis, consistently an hour or more, if at all. Indeed, even the sighting of a taxi. For the past 12 months I’ve been on the lookout to verify their concerns. At long last I spotted one at 4.30pm on Tuesday 13 December. Cliff Ellen, Rye

Crossing delay I wrote to VicRoads requesting a pedestrian crossing be installed outside the Frankston courthouse. VicRoads fobbed me off. VicRoads replied it may consider my proposal in the future.

Together you raised more than $170,000. Collectively, we strode all around the world, clocking almost 60,000 kilometres or more than 1400 marathons. Our striders hit the streets in

For many people, the end on one year and beginning of another is a time of reflection. We are urged to make New Year’s resolutions, tie up loose ends and, of course, exchange gifts . The early morning light at Hastings pier presented author and photographer Fran Henke with the perfect opportunity to record an image that epitomises peace and serenity. A time for reflection.

droves, walking, running, wheeling, cycling and even rollerblading in a community-wide effort to get moving while raising funds and awareness for the Stroke Foundation. Stride4stroke participants and their supporters were united by one common purpose – to beat stroke. Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers and a leading cause of disability. It kills more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer. One in six of us will have a stroke in our lifetime and its impact can be devastating. Most of our striders have seen this devastation first-hand, either having experienced a stroke themselves or watching a loved one suffer. Stroke is far too common but we aim to change that. Stroke is largely preventable, it is treatable and I, alongside the hundreds of Australians who took part in Stride4stroke, believe we can beat this disease. To beat stroke we need to attack it on all fronts. We need to: Empower Australians to take positive lifestyle changes to avoid a deadly stroke. Ensure all Australian households know the signs of stroke and know they must call 000. Every stroke is a medical emergency. Research the development of effective treatments to ensure that survivors make the best recovery possible. Stride4stroke may have finished for 2016 but you can still be part of the Stride movement, supporting our mission to prevent, treat and beat stroke. A small donation will help us continue take great strides in the fight against stroke. Visit stride4stroke.org.au Sharon McGowan, CEO Stroke Foundation

Challenging times With the final weeks of 2016 upon us, it is a good reminder to think about what has happened over the year, things achieved and what the New Year will bring. For some, this time of year can be challenging. This is particularly so for people who are experiencing isolation, loneliness and mental health issues, as we are bombarded with messages of family celebrations, gifts and holidays. Young people may be facing some big life changes like starting a new school, awaiting exam results to get into higher education, or commencing employment can be the most vulnerable. When normal routines change and daily structure is altered, along with missing regular contact with friends or having to financially support themselves, it can cause additional pressure. It is valuable for families and friends to be aware of signs and symptoms that something might be wrong with their loved ones. Being withdrawn, not doing the things they would normally enjoy, ongoing worry or irritability are just some of the changes to look out for.

This can include support around mental health, physical health, work and study or alcohol and other drugs.

WHAT’S NEW...

Tourism industry leading the way for return to work parents Sometimes having children can be the catalyst for change in our careers. You have time to think about what you want in life, and what your flexibility requirements are going to be when you return to the workplace. While many industries are catching up to the concept of flexibility, the Mornington Peninsula tourism industry is taking great strides in supporting parents returning to work. Struggling to find staff that could fill full time, part time, casual and shift work, tourism employers have looked at the various requirements for supporting parents in getting back into paid work. For example, RACV Cape Schanck Resort with its new development set to open in 2018 has already established multiple benefits for their employees. When an employee returns to the workforce after maternity leave they are offered part time work if full time employment cannot be fulfilled. Another benefit is a flexible roster including weekends and evenings if necessary, as well as options to move to other departments and an extra 12 months maternity leave where the employee’s position is held. While these types of arrangements are not available within all industries the peninsula’s tourism businesses are responding to demand to help parents gain meaningful employment in a secure and rewarding environment. Tourism Ambassadors Penny Takenaga, Linda Crittenden, Martin Goffin and Michael Chaffe, have all made the decision to work within the peninsula’s thriving tourism industry to support their goal of having a family-friendly career that also promotes professional growth. Ms Takenaga said “businesses such as the Mornington Racing Club have an employee benefit program that provides assistance in helping parents find child care. Not only that, but annual leave can be scheduled during school holidays as well as flexible arrangements for carers leave.” To find out more information on career opportunities within the tourism industry visit www.mpcareers. com.au Back to business: Tourism Ambassador and General Manager of RACV Cape Schanck Conleth Roche with some of his return to work parents.

Tourism, a career with endless Now is a great time to consider a career in tourism. The Mornington Peninsula is renowned as a world-class tourism destination with more than five million visitors each year. It provides flexible yearround careers close to home, and is one of the strongest, fastest-growing tourism industries in Victoria.

Pioneers’ trek to ‘traditional’ Christmas By Ruth Gooch IN 1839, Hobson's hut was in an open blackwood forest at the southern foot of Mt Martha. A rough bush structure described as having gaps in its presumably drop slab walls, an inadequate bark-covered roof and an earthen floor. The hut was occupied by the Mornington Peninsula's first settler and former sailor, 23-year-old Edward Hobson from Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) and his mother, Malvina Hobson. The date that Hobson took up the run is uncertain, but it was probably the previous year. He called his run Kangerong and it was primarily a cattle station, water being obtained from a lagoon on nearby Tubbarubba Creek, about five kilometres in from the coast. Hobson employed sawyers to fell timber, apparently for newly-established Melbourne which was deficient in trees, and timber was brought from as far away as Western Port. Among the guests invited by the Hobsons to celebrate Christmas 1839 were Robert Jamieson and Samuel Rawson from Yallock Station. Friends since meeting on the Florentia en route to Australia the year before, the pair had previously occupied the Cape Schanck run. Soon disenchanted with this location, Jamieson with others (including Hobson and some Aborigines) explored Western Port during the latter part of 1839. They selected about 40,000 acres at the head of the bay and Jamieson began transferring cattle from Cape Schanck on 13

November. He was joined by Rawson who arrived by dray in early December and the two men lived under a tarpaulin until their huts were built. They set out for Hobson's on Sunday 22 December, by horseback and dray along a track probably made by Aborigines. Rawson described their destination as being Hobson's at Arthurs Seat, the latter name being given by squatters to an extensive district at the time, although some three years earlier, surveyors from HMS Rattlesnake had named Mt Martha. In a day and age that was masculine and very British – Melbourne was named after the British Prime Minister, Capel Sound after Rear Admiral Sir Bladen Capel, and so on. One supposes it was waggish surveyors who named Mt Martha and Mt Eliza after two women of uncertain identity (they are the only female names on a very blokey chart of Port Phillip), then they called the elevations mountains rather than hills. Curiously, ships of the period were often given feminine names, and it was Acting Lieutenant John Murray in HMS Lady Nelson, who had named Arthurs Seat (after a hill in Edinburgh) during an exploratory voyage in 1802. Travelling west from their station, Jamieson and Rawson had to cross four streams about two miles apart and travelled only about four miles (6.5 kilometres) before deciding to camp for the night. Having just made a fire, it began raining heavily “as if it was going to be a second deluge”. The pair crawled under their dray but, because the

boards in the floor of the dray were six inches (15 centimetres) apart, the men spread their cloaks and blankets over the cracks to try and keep out the rain, although in a few minutes, cloaks and blankets were thoroughly soaked. Despite the rain, it was hot, about 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius), so they took off everything except their shirts. Rawson complains in his journal about being continually awakened by Jamieson thrashing about with a leafy switch in an attempt to keep off the mosquitoes. About 2am a change saw a drop in the temperature and it became “deadly cold”. The rain turned into “a mixture of hail, rain, and snow”, although the latter over-statement may reflect the fact that when Rawson woke up next morning “he never felt so cold and miserable” in his life. The fire had gone out and their clothing was soaked. In another over-dramatic turn of phrase, perhaps reflecting the fact that horses were usually stabled overnight, Rawson reckoned that their tethered horses “were so cold they could hardly stand”. It rained heavily in Melbourne too and Aboriginal assistant protector William Thomas – camping on the south side of the Yarra - recorded that a “great flood” occurred during the night: the river rose 16 feet (about five metres) and some huts were completely under water. Not a night to be outside underneath a leaky dray. The two men's saddles were “like sponges” and in that condition they

had to ride the remaining 30 miles (48 kilometres) with the rain “still descending in torrents”. They reached Hobson's “hospitable hut” about 10am on Christmas Eve, and were given brandy, dry clothes and breakfast. A more cheerful Rawson declared in his journal that they were “as well as ever”. Already there were “Mr and Mrs Smith, the Meyricks and Desaillys”, although that guest list is not as straightforward as it appears. “Mr Smith” is usually assumed to have been George Smith, the proprietor of Melbourne's bawdy Lamb Inn but, seeing the Hobsons other guests were all “young guns” and Smith is unlikely to have left his Inn during the Christmas period – “the Smiths” may have been George Smith's son and his wife, as a few passing references in the journal of Protector Thomas suggest that Smith Junior was the manager of Baggamahjarrawah station, about three kilometres to the south-west of Kangerong and licensed to Melbourne's Dr Edmund Hobson, a brother to Edward. Another guest, Maurice Meyrick, 21, from Wiltshire, had taken up the Boniyong run (Boneo), and considering his brother Alfred and cousin Henry did not arrive in the Colony until the following year, then who were (the plural) Meyricks? Presumably it is an error in Rawson's journal. The Desailly family was from Van Diemen's Land and had attempted to move to Port Phillip on the Britannia in March 1839, but the ship was wrecked in Port Phillip. Teenage son George, together with rescued sheep,

took up a run to the south of Arthurs Seat in the Boneo valley and called the place Tondomohue. He was likely accompanied on this occasion by his brother, Francis. That made a total of probably 10 people at Hobson's hut. They spent an enjoyable Christmas Eve seated in front of a fire, with a bowl of hot toddy. How they spent the night in a less-than-sturdy hut was not recorded, but presumably they were accommodated in what was then termed “shake-downs”. Cramped quarters or not, the group which assembled to celebrate Christmas Day made up a “merry party” in a hut “which a beggar in England would hardly live in”. They sat down for dinner to “the usual English cheer” and toasted absent friends with champagne. The only Christmas foodstuff advertised in the Port Phillip Patriot had been raisins, the rest of the Christmas fare doubtless being up to the skill of the cook. Mrs Hobson's culinary attainments are not known, but one supposes that expertise would have been required to cook for a significant number of people under Kangerong's primitive conditions, particularly when the festivities apparently lasted for a few days. On 30 December, Rawson, who had business matters in Melbourne which required his attention, departed along the track that would become the Nepean Highway, while Jamieson returned to Yallock.

Buyer Review - Recommended by Christina & Michael

Awesome Experience‌We had Kristen Jones from Harcourts Mornington as our agent when purchasing our first home. She was extremely professional, reliable and friendly. She was always there to answer any questions we had and went the extra mile to make the buying experience easy and enjoyable. Thank-you very much for making an exciting time even better!

Toying with wood for charity THE Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula (WOSP) have been working hard to ensure it’s a merry Christmas for all this year. Meeting in Rosebud each Wednesday, the members build wooden toys and games, including rocking swans, prams, bikes, garages, helicopters, fire engines, wheelbarrows, tool boxes, carousels, trams, ride on trucks, doll cradles, quoits and yachts, for families in need. A special handover celebration last Saturday saw about 1000 hand-crafted toys given to charities Rosebud Salvation Army, Westernport Christmas Giving and Good Shepherd foundation, for distribution. Gary Sanford, manager of the Bendigo Banks at

Rosebud, Dromana and Rye, which donates funds to the group, said the woodworkers did an “amazing” job. Other sponsors in include the R E Ross Trust and Bunnings Rosebud. Flinders MP Greg Hunt was also there to thank those behind the charity project. “Many families are doing it tough and today is the combination of creating things and families that struggle, so, on behalf of the broader community I would like to thank everyone involved and congratulate you,” he said. WOSP is a group of mostly retired people at a workshop in in Rosebud, where every year a dedicated group within the club makes toys for charity.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Letter of appreciation expresses love for Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough A LOCAL resident received the following letter of appreciation recently: It is now some months since I left Melbourne and came to reside in Frankston, when I was nothing more nor less than a nervous wreck. From the beginning I found the air in Frankston most soothing. As soon as I started to regain strength I started to walk about Frankston and district. I must say that although the beach is one of the cleanest, and prettiest along the coast, yet it is not the only attraction in Frankston, and one is not compelled to spend all their time there. The walks here are simply lovely, the roads in parts, most picturesque, some being long and winding, with such lovely trees growing all along, the gum trees are not at all scraggy or unkempt looking, but quite a good shape with wide branches, and look beautiful after the rain with the sun shining on them. The leaves are all so bright and glossy, and such lovely tints of brown and red. I have never seen ti tree growing anywhere, as it does in Frankston. Such high growth, and the blossom is so large. You can imagine how lovely a country walk is here when one is always coming in contact with such beautiful growth. But I really think a law should be enforced to stop people felling trees by the roadside, as they are spoiling the beauty of Frankston. During the early spring, heath could be got in great abundance, both white

and red. It looked lovely growing, as did also the wild flowers, during the last couple of months. There is such a variety here, and the atmosphere being so pure, they keep so bright and clean. But on all walks, one always seems to yearn to return to the beach and pier to see the sunset. I have never seen such glorious sunsets as I have here during the winter months. If an artist painted a winter sunset here in its true colors the bulk of people would say “how very unreal it seems.” I have sat evening after evening watching, just to see the sun drop below the horizon amidst the glorious colors, but I can say with Wordsworth “And I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts, a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is in the lights of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man.” From the top of the cliffs numerous views can be attained all along the bay to Beaumaris, and they are hard to beat for quiet beauty. We have a grand range of bird life here – beautiful blackbirds, thrushes, robins, wrens, swallows, etc,– in fact nearly every bird which is found at such places as Healesville, abounds here. Two lovely little swallows have built on my verandah, and they are so tame, seem afraid of nothing. They have now three young ones and are kept very busy indeed. When first I came here I had thoughts of taking down the name

plate on the house and replacing it with one of “Quillisana”, which means, I believe, “here to regain health.” Well, I have really succeeded, and even with the old name on the house, I feel a different being altogether, and owe it all to Frankston. When I am compelled to go to Town, or elsewhere for any length of time, I am always longing to get back to this lovely atmosphere, in fact, I like Frankston so much, that now I never want to leave it. *** ACCORDING to our usual custom there will be no issue of the “Standard” next week, owing to the Xmas holidays. With this week’s issue we present our readers with a useful sheet almanac for 1917, and at the same time wish them “A Merry Xmas” and “A Happy New Year.” *** THE date of the Tyabb picnic has been altered from Wednesday to Saturday December 30th. *** ON and after the 1st January, there will be no mail bag made up at the Frankston Post Office for Mornington, the mail in future being sent to Melbourne. *** ON Boxing Day a grand social will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall Somerville, in aid of the funds of the Institute. *** THE cake, made by Mr Marks and given by Mr G. Hesselman to the Frankston District Roll of Honor

Fund was raffled on Saturday. The winning ticket No 83 was purchased Mr Brasch at the Langwarrin Camp. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son will offer for sale on the premises the well-known Woyna Estate, Rosebud, at half past two, on December 26th. It will be put up in two lots. Ample means of attending the sale is advertised in our columns, also the description of the property. *** THE social held on Wednesday evening last, in aid of the Peninsula Queens’ Carnival, was an enjoyable one, and though the attendance was not as large as expected, those who attended enjoyed themselves thoroughly. *** ON and from the 13th December, the following train time table will be observed at Frankston: Depart 9.23am in lieu of 9.28am, Seaford 9.30; Carrum 9.37; Chelsea, 9 43; Aspendale, 9.48; arriving Melbourne 10.50. The train departing from Frankston for Melbourne at 8.08pm, will leave at 8.06pm instead. *** OWING to the fact that sufficient funds were in the Secretary’s hands for the sixth presentation to Frankston Volunteers, it was not necessary to solicit donations on this occasion. We are however requested, by the secretary, to state that Sir John Madden, on his arrival at the hall, handed him a cheque for two guineas as a further donation to the presentation fund. ***

THE following is a cash statement of the plain and fancy dress ball held by the “Wattles” Club, in aid of Y.M.C.A. Funds, on November 22nd 1916: Receipts – Cash at door £7 14s 9d; donation from Mrs Reynolds £1: tickets £3 0s 11d: donation from “Wattles” Club, £2 18s 6d. Total £14 14s, Expenditure – Music £2 10s, hall rent £1, printing 14s 6d, Mrs Moore 3s, butter 2s 10d, candles 8d meat 7s 6d. – £4 18s 6d. Handed to Y.M.C.A. – £9 15s 6d. *** A GENERAL meeting of shareholders of the Tyabb and District Co-operative Cool Stores was held in the Tyabb Hall on Friday Dec. 15, when there was a moderate number of shareholders present. The chairman (Mr Mair) gave a report of the position and general working of the store during the last season’s running period, and the secretary reported a satisfactory financial position, there being a credit balance of £100 3s 1d. With the commencement of the new financial year, the reduced storage rate to shareholders will begin to operate, i.e. 1s 6d per case space for the whole of the current season’s fruit period. Because of the partial failure of the apple crop, the immediate prospect is not encouraging. The store, however, will re open when about 500 cases of fruit are offering for storage. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 December, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The surprise power ballad bounty of 2016 By Stuart McCullough IT was hiding. For weeks I’d been driving around, blissfully unaware of its existence. How was I to know that, mere inches away, lurked a creature as rare as a gold-plated unicorn? Had fate not intervened, I would be unaware of its existence still. But whether it was dumb luck or divine intervention, it emerged uninvited from the speakers without warning. It’s a miracle that I didn’t send the car into the nearest ditch, such was the gargantuan nature of the surprise. For suddenly and without a moment’s notice I was confronted with the unmistakable sounds of a great, big dirty power ballad. It’s the nature of second hand cars, I suppose. It’s easy to forget that they’ve led a life before they came into yours. I’d bought the car a few months ago and I can honestly say that the previous owners never enter my mind. That’s probably because I’m too busy trying to remember which side the indicators are on or how to open to boot. But, as clean as the car was when I received it, I still find occasional traces of that former life. I was trying to insert a CD when I discovered it. For those too young to remember, a ‘CD’ is a compact disc. With its superior sound quality, the CD killed off the cassette and gave vinyl records a serious beating. However, despite the fact that they offer a superior quality audio, the CD was no match for the overly compressed but seriously convenient download. As a result, every shed in the country now has boxes of CDs waiting for the day the owner is finally able to cut the emotional chord

that inevitably develops between people and the products they love. Say what you will, but the idea of throwing out Hootie and the Blowfish’s Greatest Hits is still too radical a step for some.

But I digress. Despite my determination and a good half a can of WD 40, I could not get the CD into the CD player. Just as I reached for my hacksaw and blow-

torch, a thought occurred to me: what if I couldn’t insert my CD because the player was already occupied? I pushed the eject button and the player gently spat out a compact disc. Its face was blank, meaning that this was not something that had been purchased at a store but curated and lovingly burned (if, indeed, it’s possible to ‘lovingly burn’ anything) at home. Curious, I immediately pushed the disc back into the stereo’s mouth. Starting gently, a synthesizer provided a layer of atmosphere descending like an evening mist. High hats and the centering thump of the kick drum give it shape. Wind chimes. Suddenly, the atmosphere had a hint of magic about it. And then came the vocal. There are some who contend that you can overdo things on the emotion front when singing. Get too carried away and you sound like an unholy combination of Laurence Olivier in Richard III and Jim Bakker post motel-room visit, begging for forgiveness. As custom dictates, the vocal began quietly, shaking like a leaf in the wind. You could tell the singer was so overwhelmed by either love or intestinal issues that he was in great pain. The bass lolled around sympathetically, massaging the eardrums as momentum began to build. The guitars began to chime. You could almost feel the wind machines start to crank up, causing the singer’s (no doubt) ample locks to sway in the breeze. Then it came – a chorus, ten feet tall. The lyrics, such as they were, revealed a world of pain, the result of being separated from the singer’s true love. He wailed like a man who’d just accidentally entrapped

his genitals in the InSinkErator. One minute in and it’s patently obvious that the singer is not seeking to seduce his beloved but to kick up such an almighty stink that he can no longer be ignored. When we hit the second verse, the intensity dropped. It’s as though the band has called a quick ‘time out’ to recuperate. But the respite was temporary as the second chorus was as belligerent as the first. Then it’s over. The soothing sounds of the synthesizer returned along with the wind chimes as our hero wandered off into the distance, presumably for a glass of water and a Strepsil. I had barely recovered when the whole thing started over. It was then that I realized that this CD only had one song on it. Meaning that the previous owner had been commuting to the sounds of a single power ballad, possibly for years. Somewhat startled, my fingers fumbled for the ‘eject’ button as I pulled over. Shaking with beads of sweat dripping my forehead, I had been beaten into submission by the unknown mystery power ballad that lives in my car. It’s been an interesting year. Not only did I experience an unexpected bruising from a power ballad, but I also managed to find a fruit bagel that looks like an emoji. My only regret is that I ate it instead of putting in on display and charging people what I consider to be one of nature’s miracles with their own eyes. Thank goodness for surprises. There’s something great about them. I may not like my surprise power ballad, but it still made my day. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Climing high: Mt Eliza knocked off Peninsula Old Boys to sit on the top of the Provincial ladder. Picture: Rab Siddhi

Mounties settle on top of ladder PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MT ELIZA headed into the MPCA Christmas break clear on top of the Provincial table after knocking over reigning premier Peninsula Old Boys on Saturday. On the final day of cricket in 2016, the Mounties ripped through the usual unstoppable POB top order to have them on the back foot from the outset. Defending 263, the home side got rid of Dylan O’Malley (0), Wade Pelzer (6) and Matt Hyden (7) early to have the visitors on the back foot. Justin Savio picked up the prized scalps of Pelzer and Hyden while Shaun Knott grabbed the wicket of O’Malley. One thing we know about the Old

Boys is the depth of talent in the lineup. Eivion Bowen (42), Will Crowder (33) and Glenn Prendergast (55) gave the champs a sniff before Lyle House got into the game. House bowled 28 overs and finished with 3/90. Justin Grant and Damien Kent also took wickets at key times. Adrian Jones offered some resistance with 39 at the end of the innings, however, it wasn’t enough to get the win. Peninsula Old Boys were bowled out for 207, leaving them with 54 points and in fourth place at the break. Langwarrin is in third place on the ladder (66 points) after recording a comfortable 100-plus run win against Pines. The Kangas resumed the second day at 4/73, chasing Pines 109.

While losing wickets early to be 6/99, Taylor Smith was more than solid with 45, Mal Coutts added 17 and Sam Prosser rose to the occasion with 28 to help get the Kangas to 223. Pat Jackson was the pick of the Pines bowlers with 4/51 and Nick Wilcox claimed 3/38 from 20 overs. Baxter is in second place on the ladder, also on 66 points, after smashing Crib Point. After scoring 7/363 last week, Baxter made light work of getting through Crib Point’s batting line up, dismissing them for 168. The Magpies lost their first six wickets for 28 runs. Pies President Ricky Thompson yet again came to the rescue for his team and offered some resistance with 74, including 10 fours and a six, while

Warren Herrington played a supporting role with 25. Ben Brittain was the best of the Baxter bowlers with 4/28 from 19 overs, Dale Irving snared 3/35 from 14.3 overs and Chamara Sattambi picked up 3/51. Mornington is eight points outside of the top bracket after getting the job done against Pearcedale. Resuming at 1/23 chasing Pearcedale’s 132, Mornington made tough work of the chase but the result was never in doubt. Charlie Parker top scored for the Dogs with 41, Matt Foon hit 36, Adrian Dale 34 and Leigh lambert 28, helping the winners to 9/236. The Panthers used seven bowlers, the most effective being skipper Kaine Smith, who bowled 30 overs for a re-

turn of 16 maidens and 2/43. Sorrento is back in the finals hunt after picking up an outright victory against Moorooduc. After bowling the Ducs out for 85 on the first day, the Sharks resumed at 3/149. They declared at 8/186. Despite 80 from Shamith Kannangara and 43 from Ben Williams in the second innings, Moorooduc was still rolled for 184, leaving Sorrento 84 to get to claim victory. CJ King was superb with 6/68 from 14.1 overs, giving him 10 wickets for the match after snatching 4/39 in the first innings. The Sharks got there three wickets down, Jedd Falck hitting 33 and Corey Harris 29.

Braves make a late charge against Demons DISTRICT By IT Gully RYE lost its fourth match in outright fashion in MPCA District cricket on Saturday, this time against Baden Powell. The Braves raced up the ladder to fifth place and is now just four points behind third placed Delacombe Park and fourth placed Flinders. The Demons have had a horror season. They lost three matches outright from rounds two to four before losing yet again in outright fashion on Saturday. In round five Rye avoided outright loss by just two wickets and find themselves on the bottom of the ladder and odds-on to be relegated

next season. Baden Powell started the day just 50 runs behind Rye’s first innings total of 111, still having 10 wickets in hand. Looking to pick up the additional eight points, the Braves lost two wickets on their way to 113 before sending Rye back in. Rye was dismissed for 97 in its second innings, lasting just 40.5 overs, before the Braves picked up the winning runs in just 19 overs. Michael Ballard was the pick of the bowlers for Baden Powell in the second innings, claiming 5/18 from 10.5 overs. Red Hill is six points clear at the top of the District ladder after smashing Flinders.

The Sharks were up against it after the first day, scoring just 127 while Red Hill resumed at 1/59. The Hillmen went on to score 302 for the loss of just seven wickets. Andrew Mock dominated with 144, including 16 fours and six sixes, while Glenn Collett had a day out too, finishing unbeaten on 70 after blasting three sixes and eight fours. Flinders was sent back into bat and finished at 1/59 before the match was declared. Rosebud has slipped to seventh place on the ladder after being beaten by Seaford. Chasing 201 for victory, Rosebud resumed at 1/47. It was bowled out for 172 with Chris Cleef causing all the

damage for Seaford with 6/68 from a massive 40.2 overs. Matthew Bishop scored 128 and Matty Meagher went agonisingly close to a century (99) to help Heatherhill get the 12 points against Boneo. The Hills resumed at 0/9, chasing Boneo’s 203. At one stage the Hills slumped to 4/57, before Bishop and Meagher took control. Brett Maxwell rounded off a great game personally, adding an unbeaten 50 to his bowling figures of 3/55. Cam Williams was the pick of the Boneo bowlers with 3/64 from 18 overs. Mt Martha did what it needed to do to get the desired result against Main

Ridge. The Reds had already won the game after the first week, bowling out Main Ridge for 125 and then finishing the day at 6/146. Mt Martha went on to make 244 after there was plenty of wag in the tail. Main Ridge fared better in the second innings (8/237) with Shaun Foster smacking 142, however, it was all too little, too late. Delacombe Park successfully defended its 8/298, bowling out Seaford Tigers for 169. Dean Bright took 4/54 from 17.4 overs for the Parkers while Rob Fisher and Ricky Ramsdale picked up a couple of wickets each.

Blues OK despite loss SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully HASTINGS finished 2016 on top of the MPCA Sub District ladder, despite going down to Frankston YCW on Saturday. Chasing 151 for victory and resuming at 3/18, the Blues had a lot of work to do with the bat on day two of the contest. The Stonecats were up to the challenge though, given their 2016/17 season was dependent on them winning the match. The Blues were rolled for just 103, YCW skipper Andrew Kitson doing the bulk of the damage with 4/31, while Craig Burch snared 3/22 from 14 overs. Sam Fulton also picked up 2/21. Mitch Floyd top scored for the Blues with 30. Ballam Park has really set themselves for a big finish to the year after beating

Tootgarook on Saturday. In beating the Frogs, the Knights are now 18 points clear in second place on the ladder. Chasing 170 for victory on Saturday, Ballam Park lost 2/27 before skipper Stuart Plunkett again saved the day with 80, while Aaron Barrett played a solid supportive role with 24 to help their side to 7/170. Paul Stevenson was the pick of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/48 from 22 overs. Dromana kept its place in the top four after a solid victory against Balnarring. The Hoppers resumed at 2/35, chasing 207 for victory. They got the runs with two wickets still in hand. Jason McKenzie with 37 and an unbeaten 38 from Craig Dunlop saved the match for the Hoppers, who at one stage were 4/49 and then 7/147. Tony Wilson with 3/23 from 17 overs

and Mitch Kleinig with 3/58 from 19 overs were the best of the Balnarring bowlers. Tyabb has finished off the year positively, beating Carrum comfortably. After scoring 4/270 last week against the Lions, the bowlers backed up the strong batting effort, bowling out the home team for 166. Ryan Dyer top scored for the Lions with 44. Adam DiTrocchio starred with the ball for the Yabbies with 5/31 from 13.3 overs, while Nathan Hudgson picked up 2/33 from 15 overs. In the final match, Carrum Downs recorded a comfortable victory against Skye. Skye resumed on 7/40 and were bowled out for 46 in 39 overs. David Dervan snared 6/24 from 19 overs and Chris Maloney picked up 3/31.

MPNFL to play at the ‘G’ By Toe Punt The MCG is the likely venue to host the Victorian Championships main game next season, featuring the ranked two MPNFL, up against the best in the business, the Geelong Football League. AFL South East, along with AFL Victoria, are pushing to have the game played as a curtain raiser to the Round eight clash between Essendon and Geelong. Planning is already well underway for the 2017 campaign with coach John Hynes and his fellow selectors in Gavin Artico, Pat Poore and Paul Hopgood already finalising squads. The squad squad is expected to be finalised this week and players notified before Christmas. Having being smashed by the GFL two seasons again, coach John Hynes said at the time that the preparation of the opposition was the key to the performance. “Geelong is always well prepared, they pick their squads early, their players are dedicated to the cause and their number one ranking is testament to that,” Hynes said previously. “If we are to truly contend, we need to be more organised, more committed and I think our playing squad will absolutely buy into that,” he said. The first training session will be in mid-January.

Frankston Pines welcomes Mauritian expats SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines believes that it has secured its future after finally forming executive and general committees on the weekend. After weeks of uncertainty the Monterey Reserve outfit has accepted the overtures of Mauritian-born barrister and solicitor Daniel Plaiche, a director of Club M Australia, a sports club aiming to promote Mauritian soccer at the highest level here. Plaiche and others from the Mauritian expat community have joined recently relegated Pines and plan to bring Mauritian internationals to Australia with a view to getting the club back into State 1 South-East and eventually promoted to the NPL. Some local clubs see the move as a thinly veiled takeover and last week expressed their concerns to Frankston councillor Colin Hampton, who represents council on a soccer liaison committee alongside representatives from the soccer clubs in the municipality. Plaiche was quick to dismiss such a view. “We need to be inclusive and engage with the local community and we certainly aim to do that,” he said. After Pines failed to elect an executive committee at its poorly attended AGM in late October the rumour mill went into overdrive with suggestions that the club would be forced to close its doors. There was talk of a large debt, a deal with women’s NPL club Southern United, a possible merger with local

rival Peninsula Strikers and rumours of negotiations with the Bayside Football Association. The administrative backbones of the club for the past five years have been president Gary Hodgson, his wife Pip (treasurer) and Steve Spencer, former vice-president and club secretary for the past two years. All three were feeling the strain of running the club since the 2011 AGM albeit that under their guidance Pines had re-emerged from a long slump by winning promotion in their first year at the helm, winning the championship in 2014 and whittling down a near crippling $45,000 debt. Talks with Southern United spokesperson Michael Woodward had progressed with the aim of the women’s club basing itself at Monterey Reserve

for the 2017 season. However, Football Federation Victoria scuppered the move ruling that it breached the conditions of Southern’s NPL licence. An 11th hour bid by Strikers’ head coach and former Pines star Craig Lewis to bring the clubs together to form an entity capable of challenging for an NPL berth failed. Lewis was the sole Strikers’ representative to meet with Hodgson and Spencer on Friday night as Strikers’ senior club president Trevor Johnston and junior club president Steve Schreck were unavailable due to business commitments. In the end the Plaiche option was compelling. Hodgson remains as president for a sixth year with Spencer as secretary,

Plaiche is the new vice-president, Phillip Dalais is the new treasurer and Luno Ash is the new junior secretary. The five-member general committee consists of Andre Jumeau, Patrick Sookun, Tommy Mitchell, Lee Davies and Pip Hodgson. “It will be business as usual for Frankston Pines with the exception that for the first time in five years we will have a proper general committee helping us,” said Gary Hodgson. “Any talk of a large debt is rubbish. The books are being sorted now and by the time that’s done we’ll have paid out the $4000 we owe the council and will not owe a single cent to anyone. “We’ll have a new major sponsor coming onboard as well as individual sponsors and we’ll make that announcement next year. “We’ve said all along that we needed people to help us run the club and if can get another community behind us and get players down and get them to attend social functions then all well and good.” The club also has held talks with State Member for Frankston Paul Edbrooke in a bid to arrange a grant to pay for new women’s change rooms, disabled toilet facilities and a new kitchen. Despite the off-field uncertainty senior coach Billy Rae has been unwavering in his support. He was offered a coaching job two months ago at a more settled club but refused to abandon Pines. He has been reappointed for 2017 along with assistant Paul Williams and goalkeeping coach Lee Davies.

Cedric Permal, Christopher L’Enclume, teenager Heip Tran and an unnamed English recruit have been training with Pines and have been very impressive. “The intensity at training in one of the exercises we did the other week was unbelievable and it’s easily the best it’s been since I’ve been here,” said Rae. Permal can play in defence or midfield and L’Enclume can play in midfield or up front and although they have flown back to Mauritius the club is hopeful of their return early next year. Tran has played with Keysborough while the English midfielder “has been training the house down” according to Rae. CJ Hodgson has signed with Casey Comets while Kane Bentley is trialling in England. The last training session for the year is Tuesday this week and training recommences on Thursday 12 January. In other local news Peninsula Strikers’ $1.08 million clubroom refurbishment at Centenary Park should be completed this week. Four new change rooms have been added along with a social club makeover, 20 solar panels have been installed and the grounds reseeded. An official opening of the clubrooms will be held in February. Senior men’s training starts on Sunday 8 January and women’s preseason gets underway on Thursday 17 January. For more information visit the club website at www.peninsulastrikers.com.

Next-generation Holden Commodore breaks cover HOLDEN has revealed first images and more details of the all-new Commodore ahead of its Australian launch early in 2018. The next-gen Commodore takes cutting-edge safety, driving and infotainment technology and makes it available for today’s Australians, everywhere. The next-generation Holden Commodore is democratizing technology. Now with images of the next Commodore breaking cover, Australia gets its first look at the sleek and sophisticated design that will be hitting Australian roads in 2018. Designed in Germany by the Opel team with input from GM Holden’s team, the new Commodore takes the best of Europe and makes it great for Australia. Building on information released last month regarding the nextgeneration Commodore, Holden has today confirmed a raft of premium technologies will make Commodore the most technologically-advanced Holden ever. From potentially lifesaving safety technology features, to active driving technology and seamless infotainment, the all-new Commodore will make driving safer, easier, more involving and more connected than ever before for Australian customers. “Customers are expecting more of their vehicles than ever before,” said Holden’s Executive Director of Sales, Peter Keley. “The all-new 2018 Commodore redefines the level of technology people can expect, and how tech can help our customers

be safer, more involved and more connected than ever before. The Commodore combines technology across a number of areas in a way that you would usually only find in high-end prestige vehicles and makes it available for everyday Australians. Combined with the howling V6, world-first all-wheel-drive system and all the on-road performance you

expect from the Commodore, this is a car that ticks all the boxes and more,” said Mr Keley. Going on sale in Australia early in 2018, the new Commodore range will be headlined by the V6 flagship model, the first ever imported Commodore will honour the iconic nameplate by being the most technologically-advanced Holden ever. With a

cutting-edge all-wheel-drive system channeling 230 kilowatts and 370 Newton metres to the road, combined with adaptive suspension technology, a company-first nine-speed automatic transmission and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, the next-generation Commodore will continue to cement Holden’s reputation for class-leading driving dynamics and on-road refine-

ment. Jeremy Tassone, Holden’s Engineering Group Manager for Vehicle Development, said the technical underpinnings of the next Commodore also represents Holden’s commitment to bringing the best vehicles from around the word to Australian customers. “From its cutting-edge all-wheeldrive system, to nine-speed transmission and adaptive suspension, this is a true driver’s car in the way Commodore has always been. We’re taking the best of Europe and making it even better for our Australian customers. I can’t wait for our customers to get behind the wheel” In addition to the Commodore’s unique all-wheel-drive system, further details surrounding the ‘FlexRide’ suspension system have also been confirmed. The continuously adaptable FlexRide chassis electro-hydraulically adapts the dampers to the road and the driving conditions 500 times per second or 30,000 times per minutes. The design of the next Commodore is based on the ‘Monza’ Concept car, created by the Opel Design team in Germany. The prominent front grille and the slim-line headlamps are directly inspired by the Monza Concept enhance the wide horizontal gesture of the front end and provide it with a bold appearance. The grille sits lower than on the outgoing model and further emphasises the solid stance.

brand new set of Dodgem Cars, which have just recently arrived from Europe. Smart Amusements owner Jay Jones says the track will be a real stand out piece at the carnival this year. He was pleased the Dodgem Track arrived before Christmas, so everyone coming to the carnival could enjoy the new ride. Also new this year is a ride for the little ones – The Star Scream – which is a pendulum-swinging tub, which rocks back and forth. Seating up to 12 kids, the Star Scream is something for those

Jerry on the mend after nasty mountain-bike riding crash 15-YEAR-OLD Mt Martha resident Jerry was mountain-bike riding in Red Hill when he had a bad crash on his bike and had to be rushed to Rosebud Hospital. “I was going about 40/50km an hour downhill around a turn when I hit a tree jump. I went over the handlebars and started tumbling about 50 metres down the track,” said Jerry. Meanwhile Jerry’s Mum Tonia was waiting in the carpark, anxious about what was taking Jerry so long to finish the mountain bike trail. “He rode up to me but was huddled over. When I saw him I asked if he’d had a fall because he was all muddy. He said he’d done damage and then I knew straight away we had to go to Emergency. Luckily we were just down the road from Rosebud Hospital,” said Tonia. Once Jerry was on his way to hospital, the pain of his bike crash set in. “The adrenaline stopped and I was just like arghhh,” said Jerry. The staff at Rosebud Hospital could see Jerry was in a lot of pain and worked quickly to assess whether he had done any spinal damage. “They saw him straight away. It was just a well-oiled machine,” said Tonia. “The doctors and nurses looked after Jerry, the admin personal organised the paperwork, radiology took him to x-ray, and the volunteers offered a cup of tea and a friendly chat.” Luckily for Jerry, his spine was fine – however he had broken his collarbone.

He was sent home with some pain relief and a sling to stabilise his collarbone. Rosebud Hospital is the heart of the Southern Peninsula community, treating more than 22,000 patients per year. Our Emergency Department is the first stop – and a shining light – for critically ill and injured patients on the Southern Peninsula. The inaugural Rosebud Hospital Summer Appeal on 27 January is raising money for the hospital so that it is well-equipped to provide people with the best possible care

when they need it – whether it is a sporting accident like Jerry, or a lifethreatening illness or injury that needs to be treated, fast. “It’s local and its open 24 hours and it’s there whenever you need it. You don’t have to wait three days to get an appointment,” said Tonia. “I don’t think you could ask for better care. It was exactly what we needed at the time.” For more information or to donate now head to www. rosebudhospitalsummerappeal.org.au

$16 per set inc. mini main and flyer SMOOTH sailing across Port Phillip Bay from Sorrento to Queenscliff is a great day trip option this summer. And there is something for everyone. It starts on the ferry, it is huge. Not your average ferry. There is a lot to see and do on the 40 minute crossing. There are several outdoor decks to choose from to watch the spectacular coastline slide by. The multi Million dollar mansions along the clifftops are spectacular, many with their own private boatsheds. And there is plenty of time to take it all in as the ship travels parallel to the coast for about 15 minutes. There are binoculars to look a little closer at both the homes and the wildlife. Speaking of wildlife, dolphins are spotted often as they play beside the ferry. When you tire of the fresh sea air you can move to the Lounge Deck which has generous viewing windows, a range of seating options and a small café. Opt for a glass of regional wine or beer, coffee or snack as you sit at the window and just relax. For families, there is a children’s play area and colouring corner, with seating near by so parents

can keep a close eye. The ferries take both foot passengers and vehicles. For those that opt to take their four legged friends, they travel for free and are welcome on the external decks on leash. Fido, even gets a treat at the ticket window and water bowls are onboard. Once in Queenscliff it is a short stroll to the Main Street and the Harbour precinct is next door to the ferry terminal. There is the historic fort to visit, a 360 degree observation tower, galleries and shops. Try lunch at RORO Café on the Beach at the ferry terminal building, it has great views, food and coffee. And the best part is the view across to the heads. Then it is back on the ferry for the return trip. Another lazy, summers day……..doesn’t get much better than this.

SUMMER

The songs of carole king DUE to popular demand, Australian icons Vika Bull and Debra Byrne have announced a string of regional tour dates in celebration of Carole King’s 1971 classic Tapestry. The homage saw several sold out performances at Melbourne Arts Centre in August this year, featuring Vika, Debra and the formidable Brill Band. Received favourably by fans and critics, Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King is a beautiful celebration and interpretation of a seminal album. The Tapestry album is timeless and unsurprisingly, holds a very special place in Vika and Debra’s hearts. “Since I was a 13-yearold girl I have loved the music and lyrics of Carole King,� says Debra. “Her songs have been a life saver, she has spoken to my heart when it has broken and helped me regain my strength through songs such as You’ve Got A Friend. My favourite of all her compositions is Up On The Roof. Tapestry the album continues because of its authenticity, honesty and love. A true singersongwriter Carole King doesn’t write to get on

the radio; she writes because it’s all coming from her heart. That is why I love her.� When Vika was asked to be part of the project with Debra, she was nervous, the two having never worked together before, but it was an opportunity that didn’t take much persuasion. “I was worried if our voices would blend,� says Vika. “Luckily, once we sang together, it was great. Debra is so professional, so experienced and I have learned a lot from her. I love singing these songs with her because is she such a fan of the music, and she is an exceptional singer.� Vika and Debra’s performances pay homage to the timeless voice of Carole King, performing a diverse number of ballads universally recognised and adored. Tickets for the regional run of Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King are on sale now, with a performance at the Frankston Arts Centre on Friday February 24 at 8pm. Phone 9784 1060. www.thefac.com.au
