CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE Gearing up for a Good Christmas THIS Christmas, The Good Guys Mornington is helping to raise awareness and funds for one of our community’s most valuable organisations, the Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach.

Store Proprietor, Tony Coco, is committed to supporting the community where his customers and employees work and live and says that at this time of year, supporting organisations that keep our locals safe on the beaches and in the water, is key.

“Mornington has some great organisations that work to help locals in need,” said Tony. “At this time of year, with so many hitting the beaches and enjoying the beautiful bay, there is an increase in need from organisations such as the Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach.”

“What they do for our community is really important,” said Tony. “The work they do to keep our locals safe is highly valuable and an essential service for our community – we are really proud that they are our local community partner.”

Since the store opened, The Good Guys

Mornington’s Local Giving Program has raised funds for community partners including CFA Mornington, Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia and Volunteer Coast Guard Safety Beach, which has seen funds assist the organisation with their ongoing operations.

Parties promise to win votes Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE two main political parties are in full battle mode during the final week of the state election campaign.

Voters go to the polls on Saturday for what many pundits say will be another closely fought election, which Victoria has experienced several times in the past 15 years since the shock win by Labor's Steve Bracks over the Liberal Party's Jeff Kennett in 1999.

Bracks formed a minority government with three independents but, in 2002, won 18 more seats and decimated the Liberal Party.

Opinion polls have consistently had the Labor opposition ahead of the Liberal-Nationals Coalition, which won the 2010 election with 45 seats to Labor's 43.

After the Coalition appointed a Speaker, it had a one-seat majority in the Parliament – at least until rebel Liberal MP Geoff Shaw left the party in March 2013 and held the balance of power for 20 months.

Labor has only won a seat on the peninsula once during those years – when Rosy Buchanan narrowly defeated Neale Burgess at the 2002 election soon after the Hastings electorate was created. Burgess defeated Buchanan

four years later and increased his margin in 2010.

Buchanan’s win was a temporary blip in a region that has traditionally favoured the conservative parties with environment minister Greg Hunt enjoying strong support in his federal seat of Flinders.

The three Mornington Peninsula state seats of Nepean (southern peninsula), Mornington and Hastings are held by Liberal MPs – Martin Dixon, David Morris and Neale Burgess respectively. Their ALP rivals are Carolyn Gleixner, Rebecca Wright and Steve Hosking.

Heritage comes with a business edge David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au NO ONE should doubt that the Gandel family’s vision to create a legacy for the public on properties near Point Leo is heartfelt. The proposal, including a restaurant and sculpture park displaying 40 or so pieces collected over the years is central to the proposal, put to councillors recently.

Heartfelt it might have been, but it was flawed. Councillors rejected it, and for good reasons.

Veteran developer and philanthropist John Gandel has had a highly successful career. But his “developer” impulse to cut a deal might have been irrepressible for a man no doubt accustomed to getting what he wants. He certainly won over shire planning staff.

Artists’ impressions and plans of the development show it to be, as described in the application to council, “a space for the public to be inspired, to learn, to enjoy and love … a fantastic development for [the peninsula] promoting tourism, heritage, culture...”

As well as the art it was proposed to repair and relocate two heritage buildings, Kalimna farm cottage and a rammed earth outbuilding, as visual reminders of the land’s past. A heritage overlay, HO288, answers “yes” to the question “Prohibited uses may be permitted?”

The overlay is critical to the application. More on that later.

The problem was that Mr Gandel wanted his vision, but on terms outside state planning policy. He wanted to put a development that in the green

Heritage recognised: The two buildings proposed to be moved to make way for a restarant and sculpture park at Point Leo - Kalimna Cottage, left, and a rammed earth outbuilding.

wedge requires 40 hectares on just 6.6ha. To expand that 6.6ha to 40ha he proposed a legal agreement, a Section 173, that would link several Gandelowned properties to make 40ha.

But, under questioning, his representative at the council meeting conceded Mr Gandel wanted to be able to sell off these titles as he chose. Presumably that could cut the combined holding to less than 40ha.

It could even mean the 6.6ha itself would be sold.

Mr Gandel’s other option is to amalgamate several blocks to create a 40ha parcel, but he is not willing to do that: small green wedge blocks that are amalgamated cannot then be re-subdivided.

This will be a central issue if Mr Gandel takes the shire’s refusal to VCAT. An iron-clad legal agreement creating a 40ha block might be agreeable to VCAT, and to councillors. Or VCAT may require properties to be consolidated to create one 40ha block. Such conditions may test the Gandel family’s

wish to leave a legacy to the public.

Development of a restaurant on green wedge land is limited by three main conditions. First, a minimum land parcel of 40 ha is required. Second, only 150 patrons at a time can be on the property (but the parking plan caters for 360 patrons). Third, the use must be in conjunction with agriculture.

The Gandel proposal as put to council failed to meet the “in conjunction” rule because there is no agriculture on the main land parcel. The grapes are next door on a separate title.

Back to the heritage overlay.

The proposal, from experienced peninsula planning firm Watsons Pty Ltd, came up with an ingenious argument to try to win council approval – the heritage overlay provision that prohibited uses can be permitted on the land.

But do these prohibited uses include the Gandel restaurant-art plan, which comprehensively contravenes green wedge requirements? Lawyers could

well argue that point at VCAT – and, the VCAT decision can depend on which tribunal member hears the case, as Cr Tim Wood told the council meeting. Cr Wood, a former County Court judge, was involved in the founding of VCAT and was a VCAT vice-president in its early years.

The reliance on the heritage overlay is, in this writer’s opinion, akin to trying to push an elephant through a pinhole – although VCAT may disagree.

If it does, the Supreme Court could subsequently disagree with VCAT. A lawyers’ delight looms.

But there is another irony, and some practical difficulties, attached to the heritage overlay. Councillors were told that about six years ago an application was refused to demolish Kalimna, a century-old farm cottage. Now it, and a rammed earth outbuilding, constitute part of the heritage relied on. The property’s heritage aspect, recently dispensable, suddenly finds itself clutched to the Gandel bosom.

The plan is to restore and relocate

the buildings. Moving a rammed earth building could be tricky. But grounds for council refusal included that the proposed move would put the buildings outside the heritage overlay and would diminish Kalimna’s heritage significance.

The meeting was also told by Judy Walsh of the National Trust that it appeared no conservation works had been attempted on Kalimna since the demolition refusal. She recommended that the building be successfully relocated and restored “before any other works in this application be permitted to commence”.

Beyond this issue is the proposed placement of the two buildings. Trees are proposed to be removed from what appears to be a windbreak to create access to the relocated cottage and outbuilding, tucked in behind trees and described on drawings as containing sculpture park “amenities”.

So much for any proud and prominent display of the property’s heritage buildings on their heritage sites. Shire planners and a Gandel representative hotly denied Kalimna was to become a toilet “amenity”, but conceded it could house lavatories. A 1903 farm cottage was hardly likely to have had a heritage indoor lavatory, let alone one that flushed.

It could be back to the drawing board for the Gandel family. Its members will probably achieve their vision – and could have, at council – with a more sympathetic approach to heritage and a concession on amalgamating land that, to a developer’s instinct, must be as jarring as a nail down a blackboard.

Climate right for app to cut waste Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Family role: Casey Cain, whose father Owen is commemorated on the Rye plaque.

Honour roll THOSE attending the RSL Remembrance Day service at Rye last week moved across to the Rye Civic Hall afterwards to view the unveiling of a bronze plaque to recognise the 25 men of Rye and district who enlisted in World War I. Rye Historical Society president Prue Found said the plaque’s position on the hall’s wall was symbolic. She said the original mechanics’ institute was where the community farewelled those going off to war, where dances and concerts were held to raise money for the war effort, and also where they were welcomed home.

The old building burned down in 1949, with the present hall built on the same site. The Federal Government’s 100 Years of Anzac program provided money for the plaque.

A book, to be launched next Anzac Day, will detail the lives of the men and their service. They have qualified in at least one of three criteria: they were born in Rye, went to school in Rye or lived in Rye prior to enlistment.

It was unveiled by Casey Cain, a son of Owen B Cain (‘Barney’) whose name is on the plaque. The Reverend Nick Wallace read a poem, followed by a prayer for all those who served then and since.

IF all goes to plan, a free mobile phone app developed by a group of Monash students could offer Mornington Peninsula residents economic, social and environmental advantages all rolled into one.

Their ‘Sustain Me’ recycling app will make Mornington Peninsula Shire the first council in Victoria to have a centralised recycling platform that allows residents to recycle more efficiently and effectively.

Ultimately, this will allow the shire to reduce its waste volumes and increase its reuse of materials, extending the life of existing landfills and, potentially, reducing household recycling charges resulting in cheaper rates.

Such is the shire’s enthusiasm for the app that it has contributed $5000 towards its development.

Innovator Stephen Halpin, of Mt Martha, said the idea had its genesis in the 2013 Oxfam-Monash Innovators Program, when he and partner Eleanor Meyer, of Parkdale, and a group of students, were given an opportunity to develop their own creative idea for a social justice project.

Both are 24.

“Our idea was the ‘Sustain Me’ app, an innovative mobile platform designed to engage people wanting to recycle with relevant information in a timely manner,” he said.

The massive penetration of mobile phone use made it the ideal medium.

Through extensive research, the team identified that Melburnians – and especially those on the penin-

sula - recognised climate change, sustainability and waste management as “incredibly important” issues.

“We found that they wished to act upon this and behave in a sustainable way. However, what stopped them doing so was a lack of accessible information in a convenient, easy-toaccess medium,” Mr Halpin said.

“Our team also found that, as a result of app technology, people were most happy to use their mobiles as a prime source of information, and so we decided to collate the wealth of council-specific data with a free

mobile app.

“It will provide individual notifications to keep the user engaged, and act as a unique platform between councils and residents, which facilitates a space for dialogue to occur.”

This ‘dialogue’ helps users learn about what can be recycled at various councils – such as plastic bags – when to put the bins out and where they can go to dump rubbish sustainably.

“There are lots of ambiguities out there about what can go in the recycling bin,” Ms Meyer said. “Broken glass is one: some councils won’t take

it while others will. It’s the same for bike locks: are they metal, plastic or what?”

“We found it frustrating that people had nowhere to go to find out the relevant information.”

The ‘Sustain Me’ app took 15 months – and 558 hours - of product development and research to complete. The team has signed a memorandum-of-understanding with the shire to partner in its testing and roll out.

Renewable resources manager Sophia Schyschow said: “Mornington Peninsula Shire supports the development of the app that will encourage users to recycle in the most efficient way possible. “‘Sustain Me’ will tell its users how to simply and efficiently recycle whichever item they wish to dispose of [in line with] the user's council guidelines and location.”

This support means the shire could be the first council in Victoria to have a truly centralised recycling platform.

“It gives residents the opportunity to learn how to recycle more efficiently and effectively,” Mr Halpin said.

The group has recently finished its first round of testing and is preparing the free app for launch in the New Year. Pre-registrations are welcome on sustainme.com.au/ or facebook. com/sustainmerecycling?ref=bookm arks

Dromana through the ages KERYN McLear can trace her Dromana roots all the way back to 1860.

Her great, great grandmother, Mary Ann McLear, was the head of a family which settled at Dromana, near the present day drive-in, at that time.

Born in Ireland in 1808, she came to Australia in 1838 with her husband, John, who was, unfortunately, murdered at the Plenty River in 1849.

Mary Ann then brought her five surviving children to Dromana to begin a new life. She leased land called 'The Willows' before buying the nearby property which was later called 'Maryfield'.

Girls steered by call of the siren IT seems girls just wanna play football, according to the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League.

Such is the demand that the league is planning to introduce two all-girl football competitions next season to run alongside the junior boys. There will be divisions for 9- 12 year olds and 13-18.

MPJFL girls’ football coordinator Jenny Walker said junior football clubs considering fielding girls teams are

Balnarring, Pearcedale/Baxter, Somerville, Moorooduc, South Mornington, Beleura, Rye, Rosebud and Mt Martha.

“Whether they do, of course, depends on the number of girls interested in playing,” she said.

“The games will be just as tough and rugged as the boys – and that’s the way the girls want it.”

Ms Walker – a member of the Rye Junior Football Club - said girls’ football was one of the fastest growing

sports in the country: “As a league, we are looking forward to bringing it to all the girls who are interested.”

To promote the new competition, the league is hosting a girls’ football skills day 5.30-6.30pm Friday at South Mornington Junior Football Club, Helena St, Mt Martha.

“The girls should just wear runners not footy boots,” Ms Walker said.

From beach life to mountain days

Carols on the park RYE: CAROLS on the Park will be held on Friday 12 December at 7.30pm on the Rye foreshore. Food – including the Rye Lions Club sausage sizzle – as well as drinks, candles, novelties and raffle tickets, will be on sale from 6.30pm.

Santa will be on stage at 9.15pm and there will be a fireworks’ spectacular by Southern Cross Fireworks at 9.45pm.

Rye Beach Community Centre has run Carols on the Park for 10 years.

The evening has grown with locals enjoying an evening of singing by.

Volunteers are the mainstay of the event with support from Mornington Peninsula Shire. Local businesses sponsor the fireworks and Rye Lions Club runs the barbecue and raffle drawn on the night.

Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au FORMER Mornington Peninsula resident Niki Donaldson is making a name for herself far from the coast.

The 27-year-old has spent several years working at Mt Buller in a number of roles and is now the resort's media and marketing officer, and is hoping to convince peninsula beach lovers to spend a few days in the mountains this summer.

Ms Donaldson had a typical peninsula life as a kid – lazing on the beach, sailing and fishing – but went to Mt Buller in 2005 where she did a Bachelor of Business, Sport and Leisure Management at La Trobe University.

"The great thing about studying at Mt Buller was students were given the winter season off to gain work experience in a ski resort," she said.

Bitten by the snow bug, from 2006 to 2008 she worked winters at Mt Buller in hospitality then travelled to Vermont in the United States and Whistler in Canada for northern winters.

"I worked casual jobs to sustain my 'ski bum' lifestyle but the main reason for going to the US and Canada was to meet like-minded people, improve my snowboarding and skiing skills, and have fun."

Ms Donaldson returned to the peninsula at the end of 2008 and landed a job working in events at Peppers Moonah Links in Fingal, near Cape Schanck. "I realised I loved working in the tourism industry but missed skiing and the mountains."

Winter hike: Niki Donaldson on Mt Stirling this winter with Mt Buller in the background.

She returned to Mt Buller permanently in 2011 and worked in event management for Buller Ski Lifts, which owns the chairlifts, as well as at a couple of hotels and food and beverage outlets on the mountain.

"My partner Dan joined me the end of 2011 and we rented a house at the base of Mt Buller in Merrijig. Earlier this year we bought our very first house."

Ms Donaldson, who graduated from Flinders Christian College in Tyabb in 2004 while living in Moorooduc with her family, which includes five sisters, has been media officer for Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Alpine Resort for a year.

"It's the most enjoyable job I've ever had. Working on Mt Buller year

round provides an ever-changing work environment where the focus shifts seasonally and keeps thing very interesting," she said.

"In winter the resort is buzzing with enthusiastic skiiers, snowboarders and the nightlife is great. Summer offers a more tranquil, relaxing setting with the option to ramp things up a little with some of the best downhill and cross-country mountain bike trails in Australia.

"My ideal summer day would be a leisurely hike with Dan to the Mt Buller summit followed by a picnic then meet up with mates for a ride down the Delatite River Trail where we would finish in Mirimbah Park and possibly have some cold beers waiting

for us in the river."

She said Mt Buller would be hosting many events this summer including the Australian Mountain Bike Summit, the Bike Buller MTB Festival, the annual Mountain Running Festival, and Picnic in the Park.

"It will be a massive summer of mountain biking with the opening of a new, 40-kilometre long trail, the Australian Alpine Epic on 6 December, plus a range of competitions, specialist camps and clinics including one for women," she said.

"We have 16 trails suitable for trail running."

For details about Mt Buller in summer, visit mtbuller.com.au or call 1800 BULLER.

ROSEBUD: AN open invitation has been made for the community to have “a fantastic pre-Christmas experience” with entertainment and carols on the Village Green at Rosebud.

Cindy Pritchard is guest soloist at the 8pm-9.30pm Saturday 13 December event, which will also feature the Southern Peninsula Concert Band and Ukulele group.

Elizabeth Albiston, one of the organisers, said children can dress up for the live nativity story, which will also feature some live animals. Santa and a helper will make an appearance with special treats at the end of the evening. The event is being held by the Southern Peninsula Concert Band and the Parish of All Saints, Rosebud with Saint Katherine, McCrae.

Entry is free and those attending should take a rug or chairs.

Partial beach access to be restored SUMMER beachgoers will find access limited, even if sand returns naturally to Mt Martha Beach North.

During winter waves regularly scour sand from the beach between Helena and Alice streets, sometimes down to the clay sub-strata.

Thousands of tonnes of sand trucked in a few years ago were swept away within months.

Cliffs behind the row of bathing boxes near Augusta St are crumbling and eroding and, at the end of the access track from the Esplanade, have taken a section the wooden steps with them.

Shells from the unprotected remains of Aboriginal middens in the cliffs can now be found among the debris on the beach.

Further along the beach towards Mt Martha South access steps from Alice St now provide a viewing platform half way down the cliff rather than a way to reach the sand.

However, only the stairway to the beach near Augusta St is likely to be fixed by summer. The Alice St stairs will stay closed.

The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) has given Mornington Peninsula Shire just under $15,000 for the work, but nothing towards repairing the stairway near Alice St. The shire’s manager infrastructure project management Craig Cinquegrana, said DEPI had added more than 50 metres of protective fencing behind the bathing boxes in front of the unstable cliffs.

Mornington MP David Morris said

Rock out quietly FUN may never be so quiet again.

A silent disco for young people is on 7-11pm, Friday 5 December at Rosebud Memorial Hall, 994 Point Nepean Rd. ‘Silence at the Disco’ is being hosted by Impakt Freeza, a group of young people organising music events for other young people on the Mornington Peninsula.

Those aged 10-25 are invited to attend this low cost, drug, smoke and alcohol free event where everyone will be provided with a set of wireless headphones to listen to music.

Tickets are $12 at the door or $10 for those wearing something fluoro.

Freeza is a state government initiative, supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Call 5950 1666 or check out facebook.com/impaktfreeza

Anger over ‘resident’ stingray catch Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE attempted killing of a large, resident stingray near Portsea pier has angered Portsea beachgoers who want significant species, such as this, protected.

Jackie Younger, a coordinator at the Bayplay Retreat, said a group of about 10 men caught the smooth-back ray while fishing off the pier and hauled it up before dragging it back down to the beach - presumably to kill it.

She said the men were “laughing and taking pictures” of the ray which was “many feet across”.

A “very angry” Ms Younger confronted the men and demanded they return it to the water.

“I am normally even handed, but they were tormenting the poor thing which has lived under the pier for years,” she said.

“I was crying and shouting at them to help me get it back in the water before it died, but they couldn’t care less.

“I tried to scream them into action. Then, one of the men agreed to help me but it was really heavy and we had lots of trouble getting it back.

“He tried to grab it by the tail, which, of course, is very dangerous. Then he tried to grab its eyes which made me scream at him a bit more.

“Hopefully it is still alive.”

Ms Younger said the stingray was “interesting because it still had its barb on – whereas most rays living near busy beaches have had their

barbs cut off”.

“I certainly hope it survived. It had been out of the water for a long time.”

The rescue came at a cost. Ms Younger said she was whipped across the leg by the ray’s tail – luckily not the barbed section – and she was still sore a week later.

Portsea business woman Sally Williams, who lives in Blairgowrie, was appalled when she heard the large ray had been caught - and nearly butchered. “These creatures are part of my life,” she said. “As a resident I have a passion for the pier and all the sea creatures that live there and this is not what we want.

“We want to preserve them.”

Marnie and Terry Dean, who run the Portsea milk bar, were also alarmed at the ray’s capture.

“I watched the men drag it along the pier. They had a rope around it and were laughing and carrying on,” Mr Dean said.

“I said to myself, ‘This doesn’t look right’, and then I saw Jackie jumping up and yelling at the men and so I took some photos.”

Marnie Dean believes the ray was probably one of two which have been living under the pier for many years. “We hope it got away ok,” she said.

Mornington’s senior Fisheries Victoria officer Rod Barbour confirmed it was legal to catch rays if they were to be “used” – but not if they were “to be left on a pier or beach to die”.

“Yes, they can be eaten and they are regarded as a delicacy by some cultures,” he said.

LETTERS Concession alert The federal Treasurer at the last budget cut all the concessions, electricity, rates, gas, transport and water to pensioners (Joe Hockey called us leaners).

These concessions amount to more than $2000 a year that pensioners can ill afford to lose.

On ABC radio shortly after the announced cuts, a minister from the Napthine state government pledged to fund these concession but only for 2015.

I suggest this is a most cynical act.

What we “leaner’s” need is ongoing funding for these concessions.

Would both parties make the commitment before the state election that they will fund these concessions ongoing?

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Job hunting Here is a good joke. The Liberals have been running advertisments saying “Our Jobs Plan will create more than 200,000 jobs”. However they don’t say over what period of time, which makes it meaningless. The Liberal Party (9654 2255) couldn’t tell me, but said the Premier’s office could on 9651 500. But they couldn’t and told me to ring the relevant minister’s office on 9651990 and a chap there actually could tell me: The 200,000 jobs are to be created over five years.

So, even if you believe this, that is less than 100,000 jobs a year.

Now we know that the government is determined to continue pumping at least 100,000 immigrants from overseas into Victoria each year.

Not only their history, but their only notion of running an economy being perpetual crude growth makes sure of that. And anyway, Mike Lean, CEO of the Hastings Port Development Authority, has been triumphantly trumpeting that prediction all around the electorate.

Now we have to assume that the government does not intend to bring 100,000 new people into Victoria and refuse to give them any of the new jobs.

So, over five years, that already leaves them 300,000 jobs short without a single job for the people already here.

As there are 88 electorates in Victoria minus 300,000 divided by 88 does not mean many jobs for Hastings, does it?

And of course the 200,000 jobs they are bragging about on page 5 of this paper includes the jobs they can’t actually tell you about from the massive Hastings port expansion.

The chap in the employment minister’s office said that new immigrants are more mouths to feed so this will mean more jobs in restaurants.

Please do not believe that the Hastings port expansion will help you, your family or neighbours with jobs without looking into the irresponsible claims by it’s proponents or at least going into the port authority’s office.

They will tell you as they told me in writing that it is premature to speculate about jobs from this project.

The only way to vote against the Hastings port expansion is to vote for me. A vote for any other candidate may be seen as a vote for any of their other policies. And the system is set up so that your vote will effectively end up on the Labor or Liberal pile, which I believe is wrong and undemocratic.

You should not be compelled to vote for things you don’t want.

Paul Madigan, French Island

Plan off the rails The Labor Party’s $50 million Frankston railway station upgrade is misguided. A new $20 million railway station and 750 carport and regional bus depot at the intersection of Eramosa Rd West and Moordooduc Highway, East Mornington, would remove up to 50 per cent of the cars from Frankston proper.

More importantly, it would serve rapidly expanding Mornington and the racecourse.

All that is required is to upgrade the existing five kilometres of railway line from Baxter, a simple task.

There is little sense in providing more car parking in Mornington when they can be provided more cheaply out of town.

This approach should leave about $15 million for the Frankston upgrade.

Bruce Johnson (civil engineer), Monbulk

Protection applause For once I agree with Mr [Per] Carlsen (‘What has MP done?’, Letters, The News 18/11/14). Mr Invisible except at re-election time when the happy snaps come out to adorn the highway with bold promises to protect the peninsula, [Mornington MP] David Morris prefers the low profile.

However, I must congratulate Mr Morris on supporting the voters in the Mt Eliza area, especially the Woodlands precinct where beautiful large gardens maintained by conscientious and environmentally responsible citizens stand as proud achievers for future generations.

Without overwhelming community and owner-driven grassroots political action, this wonderful area of 700 homes would have been thrashed by the developers and small blockminded landowners.

Ian Morrison, secretary Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association

Beware of Santa Daniel Andrews is playing Santa Claus with all his grandiose promises.

But Victorians must not forget the wasteful desal fiasco, and the millions we’re paying for it, without a drop of water flowing.

Historically, the Coalition has proved itself to be a better manager of the economy than Labor.

Don’t be fooled by Santa Andrews Claus. Don’t give Labor another chance to bankrupt Victoria.

Dr D Clarnette, Rosebud

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

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

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

We also expect the Labor government to systematically improve working conditions with better penalty rates, higher superannuation and better leave conditions.

If this results in budget deficits these can be dealt with at a later time. Let’s get things going for the workers now.

The government should phase out assistance to independent schools, saving money that can be used for the workers. If public schools aren’t good enough for people then let them pay for their private schools.

The same applies to hospitals. Many other non-public activities should also be shut down.

Stan Hogan, Frankston

Wasteful approach The criticism by [Ports] Minister [David] Hodgett and Captain Dick Cox of the findings by Dr Hermione Parsons of Victoria University smack of the same flavour as the [Prime Minister Tony] Abbott and [Environment Minister Greg] Hunt farce of dealing with climate change. If the science doesn’t fit the government’s ideologically driven agenda, then all they do is belittle and vilify the messenger and its message.

The fact that the waste of $110 million on this environmentally and economically unsustainable [Hastings port] expansion is being driven by the idea of development at any cost, is a monument to the cavalier attitude towards the environment by the Liberal national government, to which we have sadly become far too accustomed.

The secrecy and undemocratic

dealings of the present government in any matter of public infrastructure development is staggering.

Without any proper transport and logistic infrastructure from Hastings to Melbourne, this is a white elephant if ever I saw one.

Or is the hidden agenda to transport coal from the Latrobe Valley out of Hastings? Coal that should be left in the ground until such time when it can be used without destroying our biosphere and our children’s future.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Keep a Shaw thing While empathising with [former Frankston] mayor Darrel Taylor’s frustration at the total lack of commitment by either Labor or the Liberals to develop vital infrastructure in and around Frankston in the next term of government, I can hardly say I’m surprised.

Neither [Liberal candidate Sean] Armistead nor [Labor’s Paul] Edbrooke can even bring themselves to commit to spending the $13million which was supposedly already allocated a year or two ago for improvements to Frankston station.

How pathetic.

Those with good memories, who have lived around here a long time, know that both major parties have neglected and, for the most part, ignored Frankston for at least 20 years.

That only changed when [former Liberal now independent] Geoff Shaw appeared in 2010. Forget his flaws, he has helped to bring the place back to life. His influence is everywhere: Frankston Hospital, Frankston police, Frankston station, relocation of SouthEast Water and, in numerous sporting and community facilities, to mention just a few.

If you want all this to discontinue, and for Frankston to go backward again, vote Liberal or Labor. If you want to see Geoff continue to screw the sods from Spring St, this time as an independent, in order to move Frankston forward, vote for him.

Environment hope How refreshing to read a dispassionate, factual analysis of the “major port”(‘Hastings ‘dangerous’ as major port’, The News 4/11/14) at Hastings presented by Dr Hermione Parsons at Cowes. We who have been fighting to protect and preserve our pristine environment since the 1970s take heart.

originally said it, but this thought comes to my mind every time I think of the approaching state election.

This is because people no longer believe that “a stable government” is to be desired, as the major parties want you to believe in their attempt to perpetuate their grasp on political power.

The reality is that everywhere in the democratic world people have started to cry out for the real democracy of the ancient Greeks. In those times there were no political parties to dominate the decision making for the nation, but only representatives elected directly by the various communities who acted in accordance with what their community thought that was good for them.

This is why, my fellow Frankstonians, before we vote on 29 November let us reflect on who had - or will have - the courage to “walk alone” and exclusively represent the interests of our community, rather than tow the party line.

Mario Moldoveanu, Frankston

Time for Hastings The Hastings Community has been waiting for development of the Port of Hastings to go ahead for more than 50 years; and now that it is finally within reach we shouldn’t let a few groups of people that would never live in Hastings, tell us what is good for us.

It’s our families, children and businesses that stand to gain so much from developing our port, and we must not let them con us out of it.

So often I hear people asking why the other side of the Peninsula always gets the money spent on it and why Hastings always misses out. Now that it is finally Hastings’ turn, if we don’t grab it with both hands at least for our children’s sake; then we shouldn’t ever complain again that we don’t get what we deserve.

If this once in a lifetime opportunity is taken away to the Geelong area, that is where all the jobs and infrastructure will go and the future that has always been promised to our town will be gone forever.

The Port of Hastings is so important to our state that for the first time our area will start getting the jobs, infrastructure and services first instead of having to wait until everyone else has got theirs.

Now is the time for Hastings and I just hope we don’t let it slip through our fingers.

Blazing logs roar ‘like a steam train’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Get fire ready

AN out of control burn-off in Boneo earlier this month took 33 appliances and 80 CFA fire fighters eight hours to control.

The fire reportedly escaped from a private fire pit near the corner of Boneo and Browns roads into a pile of stored pine logs covering an area 30 metres by 20 metres by three metres high.

The logs – stored for a decade for milling - were well seasoned and burned “like a steam train” from about 4pm-midnight on 9 November, Boneo CFA captain Gavin Burt said.

Compounding the problem were the large amount of “exposures” – meaning nearby old cars, sheds or equipment likely to be damaged by the heat - and a shortage of water storages in the area.

Captain Burt said tackling the blaze was a complex problem.

“We had to run 850 metres of hose to get to it and appliances came from as far away as Frankston, Scoresby and Dandenong,” he said.

“The fire quickly escalated to a level 2, and only fire fighters with the correct qualifications are allowed to fight such a big job.

“It was exhausting and our crews arrived home about 2am.”

Captain Burt said the fire may have started long after a nearby property owner burned-off in his fire pit.

“It may have been smouldering for ages,” he said. “The owner doesn’t recall having a fire that day.”

Boneo Fire Brigade had an open day on Sunday with interesting activities including a bushfire and grassfire safety display, residential fire safety display and children's activities.

Big burn: The blazing logs at Boneo took eight hours to extinguish.

A Get Fire Ready session for the Southern Peninsula will be held 10am–2pm, Saturday 6 December, at Rye Civic Hall, 12 Napier St, Rye. All are welcome to the session which includes a free barbecue and coffee as well as children’s activities.

Municipal fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said residents were welcome to drop in during the day to speak with their local CFA brigade, as well as officers from Mornington Peninsula Shire, Parks Victoria, VicRoads and police about bushfire planning and preparation for the upcoming bushfire season.

He said customised sessions can be arranged with community groups or clubs.

The CFA postpones all community meetings when the fire danger rating is code is Red, Extreme or Severe.

Praise heaped on ‘long, lazy’ lunch PROUDLY Frankston’s second Long Lazy Lunch is a likely nomination for the 2014 Frankston Community Event of the Year.

At least one prominent Frankston identity has indicated the charity lunch sponsored by South East Water will be in the running for the award.

The sell-out event featuring James Morrison, just voted the world’s leading jazz musician, attracted plenty of accolades.

The trumpet virtuoso added his own praise, saying he had turned down a booking to perform for world leaders, including US president Barak Obama, at the G20 conference in Brisbane in order to play at a fan’s wedding and then with the Frankston High School stage bands.

More than 500 guests packed Mornington Racing Club’s Gunnamatta Room after dodgy weather forced the relocation from Frankston Oval.

Highlights were James Morrison, the school’s

stage bands, fine wines mainly from peninsula growers, and catering by Wise Choice.

Frankston’s own Sam ‘King’ Soliman, IBF middleweight world boxing champion, made an appearance with his championship belt and heaped praise on his home town.

The CEO of Ritchies Stores, Fred Harrison, was MC at both lunch events and described it as “an outstanding day�. “Last year was great, this year even better.

Seriously, to have those superstars in the room at once, with the passion, with the vibe – it had to be seen to be believed,� Mr Harrison said. “All credit to the Proudly Frankston campaign.

Outstanding leadership from Alan Wickes and the committee and I am delighted I was able to do my little bit. “Last year I probably had 10 to 20 people come up to me and comment how good the day was. This year at least 100 people wanted

to shake my hand, chat and compliment the organisers.�

Former Frankston mayor Christine Richards described it as an “absolutely fabulous day�.

Proudly Frankston president Alan Wickes said there was no satisfaction like “real team success�. “We have started something with a team that is growing in capability and credibility and this latest event, I think, further enhanced our reputation.�

A cheque for $2000 was presented to Frankston High principal John Albiston for the school’s music program.

Proceeds from the event will be split between Frankston charities.

The Proudly Frankston campaign was launched two years ago to encourage citizens to feel good about their community.

The media: a medicine not to everyone’s taste David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au JOURNALISTS love a good quote.

Here’s one from Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcliffe, who pioneered mass-circulation newspapers in Britain.

“News,” he said, “is what somebody, somewhere, wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.”

Not a bad definition, one that the Mornington Peninsula News Group (MPNG), publisher of this newspaper, has as a lodestar, especially when confronted with the sort of “white noise” and other evasive techniques employed by wannabe suppressers of all sorts.

Keep Northcliffe’s definition in mind when next you read your daily or weekly newspapers and watch or listen to news and current affairs programs. The “spin” – politicians trying to persuade people that white is black, or at least a shade of grey – is prodigious, the aim as much to confuse and disorientate, and to appeal to prejudice and bigotry, as it is to inform.

Since Northcliffe’s lifetime (1865–1922), politicians, pop singers, business barons, colourful racing identities, celebrity chefs, oft-married doctors and other folk have employed platoons of press secretaries, advisers and other “flacks” to try to suppress what they don’t want published, with depressingly regular success.

Standing between prominent persons and the public, the flacks (including those in local government) have tasks including distributing run of the mill information such as what their bosses have been doing, or plan to do, who they have met and what triumphs they wish to trumpet.

Their most important task: dealing with disasters and embarrassments that must be suppressed or spun away.

Recently Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been flacking for the PM about Mr Abbott’s preelection “No cuts to the ABC or SBS” promise. Mr Turnbull has been telling us it’s not a cut, it’s an adjustment, and we must not take his boss’s words out of context.

Further, Mr Turnbull has continually pointed out, the public must remember that he and Treasurer Joe Hockey had repeatedly stated pre-election that cuts would have to be made across the board, including to the ABC and SBS. Mr Turnbull was indulging in classic spin. A “cut” became an “adjustment”; the “context” (Abbott’s plain promise was not in a “context”) was a huge red herring; and then came a Turnbull hint that the PM’s pledge was, silly boy, just him off on another irresponsible, undisciplined frolic, departing, tsk-tsk, from the message being put out by his more responsible colleagues Turnbull and Hockey.

Desperate stuff, when analysed, but reported widely – and defended widely by the PM’s acolytes in the press and on radio and television. But with a deft touch of anti-Abbott malice, reflecting Mr Turnbull’s leadership ambitions. Beautiful work!

Like it or not, the ABC is a central pillar of the Australian media and of Australian life. It plays a role for all, in every city, town, village and remote outback farmhouse, including for those who don’t listen or watch. It is as vital to all as are roads, even to non-drivers.

Almost all politicians have, at one time or another, been victim of the ABC. Their egos can’t abide negative

publicity. Many governments have set out to nobble it via funding “adjustments”. In more turbulent nations, coup leaders head straight for the media, to control the message. North Koreans know only what the state tells them.

Try to imagine Australia without the ABC. Try to imagine the world without the BBC – for insomniacs, it brings Australia news and features on ABC’s News Radio throughout the night.

Try to imagine our radio dominated and diminished by Sydney shock jock types like Alan Jones, or by an Australian version of America’s appalling Rush Limbaugh, or TV news and opinion from Rupert Murdoch’s disgraceful US channel Fox News.

Spin at a more mundane local level has been Mornington Peninsula Shire’s regular approach to our annual rates increase, announcing a rise that was always less than the … dare one say “truth”? It has done this by calculating the “rate” (in the dollar) and omitting a substantial “charge”, the Municipal Charge – although (refer to your rates notice) the shire is obliged to state your bill as “rates and charges”, which cannot exclude the hefty Municipal Charge.

Then the shire hired Marilyn Kearney as its chief financial officer. She acknowledged the error and remedied it. MPNG newspapers had pointed out the rates spin and Ms Kearney, now alas departed from the shire, had responded properly – as the shire had failed to do in the past.

That is but a minor example of the local media’s crucial role, which is, to use the vernacular, “to keep the bastards honest”. Many politicians keenly resent being held to account, except on their terms.

It was once the role of the press,

now the task of all media, to shine a light into dark corners, now in a time of diminishing funds and shrinking newsrooms.

This is a lofty concept but a vital one. Democracy is incomplete and ultimately unworkable without the oxygen of facts, with independent news media doing their job dispassionately and objectively.

Whistleblowers Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are holed up beyond reach of infuriated politicians because they could not and would not be suppressed. The spin against them has been gargantuan, partly a reflection of politicians’ fear of having exposed what they are accustomed to suppressing, and not generally for national security reasons, as they argue.

Newspapers were once regularly referred to as the Fourth Estate, the other three estates comprising the English parliament – the Lords Spiritual, the Lords Temporal, and the Commons.

The great English parliamentarian Edmund Burke had given this definition in 1787, when reporting of parliament was finally permitted, and had added: “... but, in the Parliament’s Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important [by] far than they all”.

The Australian Constitution refers to the Parliament, the Executive Government and the Judicature as the nation’s three chief estates. It is inconceivable now to think that reporting parliament would ever have been prohibited.

Here’s another quote beloved of journalists: “The only way to look at a politician is down.”

It came from the acerbic typewriter of American newspaper columnist Henry Louis Mencken. The term

politician should, incidentally, be widely defined to include councillors, barrow-pushers for causes and unelected officials with the power to control aspects of our lives.

Interrogate the internet for Mencken quotes. You will be well rewarded.

Another lively example: “Say what you will about the 10 commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only 10 of them.”

Journalism is regarded by some serious practitioners as a vocation.

But this is to make the craft (it is not a profession) too serious, some say. A venerable definition has it that, to be a journalist, one needs a plausible manner, a good serve of rat cunning and a little literary ability.

But that is too trite a note on which to end. Some more quotes are called for, starting with Mencken. Some are appropriate in light of the state election: “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

“It is [a politician’s] business to get and hold his job at all costs. If he can hold it by lying, he will hold it by lying; if lying peters out, he will try to hold it by embracing new truths. His ear is ever close to the ground.”

“If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.”

“Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.”

Lord Northcliffe (pre-elevation to the House of Lords): “When I want a peerage, I shall buy one like an honest man.”

Adolph Hitler: “How fortunate for rulers that the people don’t think.”

Golfers set to tee up to a four-course feast Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE proposed merger between the Long Island and The National golf clubs will give members access to four championship courses. They are Long Island Country Club’s existing 18-hole layout between Skye and Frankston-Dandenong roads, Frankston, and The National’s Old, Ocean and Moonah courses at Cape Schanck.

Members of both clubs will vote on the merger on 14 December. To get up, it must receive a 75 per cent ‘Yes’ vote from both clubs.

This will create the first private 72-hole golf club in Australia.

Long Island Country Club general manager Nick Dastey said the merger would make both clubs “bigger and better” for members.

“It’s a great opportunity for both of us,” he said.

“It will create a fantastic facility and extend our reach.

“Combining the two clubs will make us a much better club and give us a competitive advantage.”

Mr Dastey said The National had many peninsula-based members. “Our site is ideal because it’s so convenient to them,” he said.

“We are a traditional sand-belt course – like Royal Melbourne or Kingston Heath - whereas The National is made up of links courses.”

If the merger succeeds, the 750 members at Long Island and 2500 at The National will have

Peninsula Fireplace

Centre

the choice of playing where and when they like on a “diverse combination of courses”.

“Long Island is rated 62 in Australia although many golfers would argue that it should be higher,” he said. “The National has two in the top 10 – the Old course at eight and Moonah at 10.”

Mr Dastey said a merger was appropriate in a changing market. “It’s well known that demand for golf has been in decline for a number of years, and we want to act now while we are in a position of strength,” he said.

“We want to be a leader in the marketplace and, to do that, we need a strong membership base.

“There are great advantages to members in this merger which is all about creating something better for the members. We will both be financially

better off.”

Fees are unlikely to change at either club.

Long Island members pay about $3200 in a traditional fee-paying arrangement, and those at The National just over $4000 in a share-based scheme. These fees are tradeable and vary in price depending on demand.

Mr Dastey was confident the proposed merger would boost demand for places at the clubs, thereby increasing the value of The National’s shares.

In September 2013 the Peninsula Country Golf Club merged with Kingswood Golf Club, the first merger of two golf clubs in Australia. It is now called Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club.

HOUSE AND LAND

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Innovative new design from Red Bluff Homes THE magnificent Homestead range of new homes pays homage to Australia’s colonial past with an impressive facade boosted by wide verandahs and spacious living.

Designed specifically for buyers with acreage or a farmlet on which they want to build their dream home, the house has been designed to make the most of rural views. The living areas, including the rumpus room, family room, meals and kitchen areas are all positioned at the front, with rows of tall windows running the entire length of the home designed to capture the countryside. Buyers have a choice of four different facades at no extra cost. The kitchen and

meals areas have long been the heart of country homes and The Homestead is no exception. The spacious kitchen has a huge walk-in pantry, and is centrally located to the open-plan meals and family areas. The casual family living area has been cleverly zoned away from the parents’ retreat, allowing busy parents a quiet spot to retire to at the end of the day. Complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, the master bedroom is tucked away at the opposite end of the home from bedrooms two and three. The flexibility of the design means the separate formal dining room can be incorporated into the master bedroom creating an even

more generously proportioned parents’ retreat. The design also offers flexibility when it comes to the configuration of the bathroom, toilet and storage space at the family living end of the home, with buyers offered four options from which to choose. The Homestead, which measures 25.5 metres by 12 metres including verandah, starts at $197,500 on your land. For more details and a list of inclusions contact Red Bluff Homes on 9709 0400.

Luke’s legacy shines on despite theft Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A CALLOUS act of theft marred the opening of a new training facility and memorial garden in honour of murdered schoolboy Luke Batty at Tyabb’s Bungyan Reserve.

A thief stole the handbag of Luke’s mother Rosie Batty after smashing a window in her car as she visited the memorial garden last Monday ahead of the official opening.

The heartless act left Ms Batty too shaken to join Friday’s opening, which was attended by more than 100 people, including Luke’s friends from Tyabb Cricket Club and members of the community.

Among the items stolen from Ms Batty’s handbag were precious pictures of Luke, as well as credit cards and documents.

Ms Batty said she was too upset to attend the opening following a “torrid week” in the wake of the theft, but said she did not want to detract from the event by dwelling on the actions of the thief.

Ms Batty has forged close bonds with the Tyabb Cricket Club following Luke’s murder by his father at the ground in February and is now a member of the club’s board.

The club has harnessed strong community support in its efforts to raise funding for the new nets and Luke Batty Memorial Garden.

Many locals pitched in to help build the garden, which is designed to bloom into a sea of yellow, Luke's

favourite colour.

Tyabb Cricket Club president Sam Taranto said the garden would provide a permanent reminder Luke.

However, he said it was now time for the club and community to bring

the issue to a close and “move forward”.

“Obviously we’ll never forget what happened but it’s time to start moving forward,” Mr Taranto said.

He said he did not wish to dwell on

the theft of Ms Batty’s handbag but rather focus on the positive example the community had set in its efforts to raise more than $120,000 for the nets and garden.

Cannabis warning after man’s death Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

THE shock death of a Chelsea Heights man after smoking synthetic cannabis has prompted police to warn of potential life-threatening reactions to the drug.

Their comments also follow a raid on a Frankston tobacconist which found packages containing plant matter thought to be the drug.

The man, 34, died at a Patterson Lakes house on Friday 14 November after smoking the drug with a friend.

Sergeant Leo Raso, of Kingston police, said the man became severely dehydrated and began drinking large quantities of water from an outside tap. Returning inside he went into a bathroom and forced his mouth over another tap and began drinking copiously again.

The force of the water swelled his face to such an extent that the tap became lodged in his throat, Sergeant Raso said.

A friend tried to assist by pulling the tap off the sink and the man fell to the floor unconscious.

Ambulance officers who worked on the man for an hour were unable to revive him.

Detectives from the Frankston divisional response unit recently seized a quantity of what is believed to be synthetic cannabis from a Karingal Hub tobacconist.

Plain clothes detectives searched the Free Choice tobacconist following a tip off and found packages containing plant matter thought to be synthetic cannabis. The seized substance will

be forensically tested to determine its chemical composition.

Detective Sergeant Paul Busuttil said it was vital anyone considering using synthetic cannabinoids understood that the drugs had most likely not been through rigorous testing prior to human consumption.

“They have not been produced within a regulated environment and purities and quantities will not be standardised or regulated,” he said.

“People purchasing synthetic cannabinoids will have no way of accurately knowing what they are purchasing and consuming - most importantly, whether it is safe.”

Dozens of people have been hospitalised after consuming products containing synthetic cannabinoids that are marketed and sold under a variety of brand names of differing chemical composition.

Earlier this year, five people were admitted to intensive care units suffering symptoms including loss of consciousness, seizures, agitation, confusion and breathing difficulties after smoking a subsequently banned brand of synthetic cannabis.

Ten brands of synthetic cannabis are banned for sale and consumption in Victoria, however, new versions continue to appear on the market, with suppliers altering their chemical composition to circumvent laws.

Anyone with information about the sale of synthetic cannabis can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Gliders take off into the blue over the green HANG glider and paraglider pilots are taking off from much firmer – and less slippery – ground from the cliffs next to Flinders golf course. New synthetic grass has replaced tattered carpet from where the gliders can be launched.

Rob van der Klooster, of the Victorian Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, said the $20,000 project would rectify the “slip hazard” at the launch site.

He said a launching place at Portsea was also being refurbished “hopefully in time for Christmas”.

Advice on a website for hang gliders and paragliders being flown at Flinders talks about pilots using “quite buoyant bubbles of air” from rocks on the beach to spend “many happy times floating about 700 foot above take-off riding these bubbles while less fortunate souls without varios whiz about only one or two hundred feet

above launch”.

“The Flinders area has proven to be a very popular, versatile paragliding and hang gliding venue. The golf course take off area and recovery steps make it that much safer and easier,” the website advises.

“When the wind is SW [south west], give it away, the turbulence in the corner has nearly claimed some of our more experienced pilots.”

The website also advises pilots not to drive the wrong way down the one-way road through the golf course and to land on the beach to “ensure that we keep the golfers happy”.

Other “special rules” applying at Flinders include no aerobatics near the launch ramp, no using the golf course to wrap equipment, using walking paths and not flying in front of the West Head naval base: “The guns are still in use!”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Exploding soda fountain causes death in Chelsea Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE Programme of The Dromana sports club appears in our advertising columns, which takes place on Boxing Day. *** Mr Alec Clarey will deliver his second lecture in the. Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening next on the identity of the British Race with the Lost Tribe of Israel will be further elaborated. *** THE friends of Mr T. Nicholl of Frankston, will regret to hear of the death of his wife which sad event occurred at The Melbourne Hospital on Friday afternoon, after having undergone an operation in that institution. The remains were brought to Frankston and buried on Sunday afternoon. The Rev A P. McFarlane officiated at the grave. *** THE purely voluntary surrender by the Public Service of a percentage of salary, as a contribution to the war fund, will mean a handsome contribution. The Teachers Bench has adopted a minimum of 2.5 per cent. A junior teacher earning 4 pounds monthly subscribes 1 pound, 4 shillings per year. Some of our Victorian citizens as might well ponder this. *** The American Tea held in the Frankston Park and the funds of the Brass Band was in every way a success, thanks to the committee of ladies who worked arduously during the afternoon and evening, with the

result that the profit of over £22 was made. *** AT the invitation of Mr W. Holtz of the Pier Hotel, Frankston, a party of gentlemen took advantage of the public holiday proclaimed on the 18th for the purpose of a days shooting of the rabbits in the district.

The place chosen was Mr C Wells paddocks on the Hastings road and after a pleasant drive in one of Mr Benson’s cabs the party was dropped off at its destination.

No time was wasted in starting operations on one of the numerous warrens. Burrows were found, the ferrets were sent on their different ways forcing bunny out of his hole where it was immediately met by a party and speedily dispatched.

Unfortunately the place selected must have been pretty extensively gone over shortly before the arrival of the hunters and the catch was not as good as was anticipated, but a most enjoyable days outing was spent.

Refreshments were liberally provided by the host, and after tramping round the extensive warrens in the different paddocks, they were duly appreciated by the company.

About seven o’clock the cabs returned, and a pleasant drive home in the cool of the evening terminated a very pleasant outing. *** THE Choral Society’s concert on Saturday, December 5th promises to be one of the most interesting they have ever given. In addition to the

first appearance of Miss Rosa Alba who is looked upon by critics as a coming prima donna, a recital of several quaint old English songs by Mr Frederic Earp is announced.

In England Mr Earp was regarded as an authority on this branch of music and is often engaged as lecturer by leading Shakespearian and other educational societies.

The original manuscript of “Summer is calling you” (one of the items promised) is preserved with great care in the British Museum London, as it is the oldest piece of decipherable music existing.

Nobody knows exactly who composed it, but antiquarians assign it to a monk who lived in Reading Monastery about the year 1226.

Another song is about an old-time agricultural laborer being distinctly humorous. Though this song has been well known to the old fashioned villagers in the country of its origin for many generations, Mr Earp was one of the first singers of standing, to introduce it into high class concert programmes.

Mr Earp will give a selection of six of these little songs all new to Australia, from his collection of over two hundred. *** ON Sunday last the Rev A. P. McFarlane and Rev G. A. Kitchen exchanged duty. Mr McFarlane took all the services at Frankston and Seaford.

In the afternoon Mr McFarlane officiated at the funeral of Mrs Nicholls. ***

WE regret to have to record the death of Mrs G Lindsey (Miss Etly Cullen) at the early age of 24 years and offer our condolences and sympathy to the sorrowing relatives.

The deceased was well known in Frankston previous to her marriage and was greatly appreciated as an elocutionist in which capacity she appeared several times in connection with the Choral Society’s concerts some two years ago. *** THE danger of allowing persons to use pea rifles in the township, was exemplified on Tuesday evening, when Miss Masterton was shot in the hand while walking in her garden, in Bay Street, Frankston.

It is not known who fired the shot, but it was a lucky thing for the lady, that she was not shot in a vital part, though no thanks is due to the careless shootist for that. *** THERE is at present on view in Mrs Hayes window, in Bay street, Frankston, a very handsome handbag, made of handwork crotchet. Miss Martindale, who made the article, intends to raffle it for the benefit of the Patriot fund, and tickets may be had for the small sum of 3d each. *** AMONG the successful candidates for the Musical Society’s recent examinations, were Miss Dorothea Overton, who obtained 1st diploma for the pianoforte, and Miss Dorothy Thornell passed, with honours, for the elementary certificate. These young

musicians are well known residents of Somerville, and reflect great credit upon their teacher, Miss Olive Sherlock, Frankston. *** IN accordance with the provisions contained in the Electoral Act in regard to compulsory enrolment.

Mr W. J. Field, divisional returning officer for Flinders division, has issued a batch of 500 summons against persons who have failed to have their names placed upon the roll, and there is a further batch of between 300 and 400 to follow. The first of these cases will come on at the Dandenong court on Tuesday when proceedings will be taken against 90 offenders. *** A sad accident happened at Sherwood Avenue, Chelsea, on Sunday afternoon, when Ernest Tillbrook attempted to rectify a fault in a soda water fountain. The machine exploded and Tillbrook was thrown violently to the ground, and killed instantly. Tillbrook visited Mrs Ballard’s tea gardens at Chelsea. The sodawater fountain was out of order, and Tillbrook remarked that he knew all about the workings of such a machine, turned to the tap.

An explosion followed immediately, hurling Tillbrook to the ground. When he was picked up he was dead, the only wound visible was in his right arm, which was almost torn off at the elbow. Tillbrook, who was 23 year old, was unmarried.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The utterly compelling truth about clutter

By Stuart McCullough IT’S on. We have decided to sell our house. Ultimately, this will require us to pack up all our things in an orderly fashion and move. But not yet. First we must undergo a painful process in which we ‘de-clutter’. Although it sounds like something that may require both a young and old priest, not to mention a decent supply of holy water, the term ‘de-clutter’ is, in fact, a nice way of saying ‘remove all the materials in your house that have seen the neighbours dob you in to A Current Affair as a chronic hoarder’. It’s ironic. Three years worth of old newspapers are incredibly useful when you’re moving house and yet they’re the first thing a prospective real estate agent will ask you to remove from the hallway.

There’s no avoiding the awful truth: we have collected a lot of stuff. Some of it deliberately, but much of as a by-product of life. Over many years, it has accumulated and filled every nook and cranny until, like a pair of jeans that are two sizes too small, stuff simply spills over the edges.

And, just like that very same pair of trousers, it’s confronting. We’ve been ingenious, too. We’ve used every inch of every cupboard as well as the roof.

Now comes the reckoning. For years, we’ve acted like clowns getting into a Minnie Minor. Finally, it’s time to undo in a few days what took us years to achieve.

The reason for de-cluttering is simple. We have to make our house look as nice and as neat and as flat-out wonderful as possible. In modern par-

PAGE 64

lance, we need someone to ‘pimp our ride’. For those unfamiliar with the process, this involves a stylist coming to look at all your possessions and then judging you. In some instances, this means high praise. Apparently, the vintage movie posters in the hallway

Mornington News 25 November 2014

are entirely appropriate and should be retained. This is a powerful validation of my taste, if not in movies, then at least in posters. That these works have been selected to survive the culling process says that I was right all along.

However, not all the art work as been

so lucky. To date, there is no word on the framed picture of ‘Dogs Playing Poker’ whose fate hangs in the balance while it hangs in the study. Last time I met the stylist, she pointed in the general direction of one half of the house and simply said everything at that end could go. As a person whose job it is to make everything look as chic and as stylish as possible, she couldn’t even bring herself to say the words ‘Dogs Playing Poker’. It truly is the artwork that dare not speak its name.

I have a lot of instruments. Sadly, these are not of the surgical variety because our house would have been a lot bigger were that the case. Musical instruments, it must be said, take up a lot of premium space. Apparently they’re an unwanted distraction and have to go. As a result, they’re being evicted from the house. It’s a bitter blow but, as an adult, I can take it. And, as an adult, there’s only one responsible course of action available to me – I must take my beloved instruments, cram them into a Ford Focus and then hide them in various cupboards at my father’s house.

It must be said that my father is a very patient and understanding man, at least about things other than the cruel and vexatious decision to cancel A Place To Call Home. I’m sure he’ll realize that the violin in the linen cupboard is not his and that the Stratocaster in the pantry stuffed between the barbeque shapes and the sugar bowl is only there on a transitional basis. It seems that moving out of your childhood home house is the work of a lifetime. In many respects, it’s incremen-

tal. I left home when I was a teenager, but plenty of my possessions stayed put. It’s true of my siblings too. Once again, I have to move back home, at least in part.

De-cluttering your house is an exercise that is part cleaning, part archeology. I’m not ashamed to say that I have upheld the family tradition by locating a range of foodstuffs that expired in a decade other than the current one. I also found press releases for old bands that serve as a reminder of how far the art of word-processing has come in the last twenty years. There are school reports and assignments that I was sure I would one day need again. It’s time to let them all go.

Once it’s done, you are left with a house that was far neater than when you started and a nagging sense of: why didn’t we always live like this?

It’s because human beings are meant to accumulate. I don’t mean expensive objects, but the everyday stuff of life. We collect and gather up objects great and small because they remind us of things. Of moments when we were happy. Of people we loved and, if we’re lucky, loved us back. These items are evidence of a life lived. Tomorrow, oddly stylish furniture will arrive. It will make our house look neat and wonderful, just as it should, but it’s not me. The proof that I existed is packed up in a range of boxes. Perhaps more than anywhere else, the real me can be found in the various nooks and crannies of my father’s house.

Which is exactly as it should be. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Between the bays celebrates decade

POWERED BY

CELEBRATING it’s 10th year, Between the Bays has now firmly established itself as Mornington Peninsula’s best, annual music festival over the summer, each year playing host to some of Australia’s most well know and loved artists as well as local up and comers. Over the last decade, the likes of Hoodoo Gurus, Tim Finn, The Basics, Lior, Custard, The Fauves, Ooga Boogas, Daryl Braithwaite, The Bamboos, Passenger, Tim Rogers, Jordie Lane, Justine Clark,

Angie Hart, Diesel, Blackchords, The Black Sorrows, Rebecca Barnard, Mental As Anything, Dan Kelly and many more have graced the Penbank stage.

Since it’s inception in 2005, Between the Bays has offered music lovers an inexpensive festival experience with an all-inclusive community feel, with all proceeds raised by Between the Bays going to Penbank School’s partnership with the Wugularr School in Beswick, remote Northern Territory, helping

the children at the Wugularr School reach their full potential.

Recently, at the Educate Plus Awards for Excellence in Melbourne, Festival director Paul Thompson was honoured to receive the award for the Best Event for Between The Bays. The award recognises Paul’s work in developing Between the Bays Music Festival, held annually at Penbank School, into the successful event it has become.

For 2015 and the 10th anniversary of

Between The Bays, the festival invites back favourites James Reyne, Mark Seymour, Custard, Combo La Revelcion, Indigenous Hip Hop Projects, The Billabong Boys and for their first ever BTB appearances Melbourne acts Wagons and Sweet Jean.

Between The Bays 2015 will be held on Saturday 28th February.

and clubs of northern England, before teaming up with Mike Stock and Matt Aitken to record Astley’s first solo offering Never Gonna Give You Up. The release was an immediate success, sending the song to the top of the British charts for five weeks and making it the year’s highest selling single. In addition to the UK success, the song topped charts in the US, Australia and Germany – the first of 13 worldwide Top 30 hit singles - making Astley a household name within months.

Peninsula fans will get the chance to see one of the most well known pop stars on the planet in a rare Australian performance of hit songs and memories at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday November 28. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the venue, with doors opening at 8pm. For more info, head to www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

If you’re a member of Generation Y, chances are you have a vague memory of a Rick Astley song you may have heard on the radio in between your BMX rides when you were about five or six years old. If you’re a bit older – or indeed a GenY with a knack for remembering hits of the late 80s – you’d know the name well, as one of the success stories coming from production trio Stock Aitken Waterman, alongside Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, Bananarama and many more.

Now, some 25 years since his breakthrough single Never Gonna Give You Up burst onto high rotation radio and gained No.1 status in 25 countries worldwide, Rick Astley is coming to our shores to show Australian audiences what he’s been up to since, as well as belt out his late 80s/early 90s hits.

THE SCREAMING JETS ANNOUNCE

25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR The upcoming national tour for The Screaming Jets is going to be something very special, for fans and the band alike. The iconic rock band, originally from Newcastle, will be celebrating 25 years – yes, a quarter of a century – of great Aussie rock. 25 years seems like a hell of a long time to stick at one job, but when your job is to rock out as much as you can - it can feel like it’s flying by in the blink of an eye.

With 6 studio albums under their belt and literally thousands of gigs throughout the world from one horse towns to global meccas, the Jets have been there and done that….when it comes to this crazy rock n roll circus. To celebrate this massive milestone The Screaming Jets are heading back on the road in October to celebrate with all their fans and friends round this big brown rocking land.

There is also an element of disbelief that the band that started with mates gigging around their home town in the late 80’s has reached such a milestone, releasing some of the country’s most iconic songs along the way. With tracks like Better, Helping Hand, October Grey, Sad Song and their revered cover of Shivers, The Screaming Jets

have become part of the Australian music psyche.

The Screaming Jets won’t just be celebrating a quarter of a century on their upcoming tour, but also sharing tracks from their as yet untitled new album, of all fresh material. The ethos of the band has always put importance on the band members creating new material – putting their mark on the words and music. Bass player Paul Woseen has been writing tracks, as has Dave and during the times the band are together, they’ve also been penning tracks for the upcoming release. It seems that writing their albums feeds their desire to go on the road.

Gearing up for a massive celebration as they hit the road from October, The Screaming Jets are bringing the best of the best to audiences around the country. After their massive tour in 2013, these new dates are highly anticipated and it’s not just the fans that are looking forward to it. PEARL has been told that the boys can’t wait to get back on the road in Australian again. It will be your chance to see the boys in full flight Friday 28th November at the Hallam Hotel.

Kangas in a world of pain PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LANGWARRIN’S season went from bad to worse on Saturday after being skittled for just 93 in its match against Heatherhill.

The Kangas have been in disastrous form with the bat in recent matches but some had forgiven them given they were against Sorrento and Mornington.

However, despite only a modest attack, Langwarrin wilted under the Hill’s bowling pressure.

While the Kangas were nothing short of pathetic, the Hill’s bowlers were superb.

Jon Powell was the pick of them, tearing through the visitor’s batting line up, finishing with 7/31 off 17.4 overs. His figures included six maidens and 10 no balls.

At one stage, Langwarrin was 4/17.

Bowling all-rounder Jake D’Atri was tried up the order but that idea failed, falling for just five.

It was once again left to old timer Danny Weare to score half of the team’s runs in his first senior game for the season. Weare finished with 45.

In reply, Heatherhill will resume at 4/69. Adrian Mack and Dwayne Doig have two wickets each for the Kangas.

Pines bowlers did the job on Saturday against Moorooduc,

however, their batsmen are again in a spot of bother.

Ricky Ramsdale led the charge for the Piners with 4/37 to help roll the Ducs for 157. Bobby Wilson top scored for the home side with 45.

In reply, Pines are 3/41.

Baxter and Mt Eliza are locked in tight battle after the opening day claimed 12 wickets.

The Mounties batted first and made 171, thanks largely to Timmy Strickland (46) and skipper Lyle House (45).

Dale Irving was at his magical best for Baxter with 5/41.

Baxter will resume on day two of the match, looking comfortable at 2/68

after Shane McComb blasted 40.

Mornington’s batsmen stepped up to the plate in the grand final replay against Sorrento, helping the side reach 249.

It was the star Ben Clements who turned his season around with a powerful 117, while Luke Popov was next best with 31 and Michael Heib hit an unbeaten 29.

Liam O’Connor as the best of the Sorras bowlers with 4/9 and Anthony Blackwell chipped-in with 2/27.

Peninsula Old Boys continue to get the job done, setting Long Island 245 for victory.

The Old Boys have been very consistent with their scoring this

season and despite being up against a very good attack, were able to score more than 200 again.

Scott Phillips claimed 3/60 and Andrew Tweddle 2/27 for the Islanders.

Crib Point has already claimed the 12 points against Rye and will be looking for an additional eight points when they begin day two this Saturday.

The Demons batted first and were bowled out for 128, Luke Herrington picking up 4/35 and Glenn Barclay 4/41.

In reply, the Magpies are 2/150 after Herrington made 72. Rob Hearn will resume unbeaten on 66.

Blues in trouble DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS will be looking for a miracle when it heads out into the middle on day two of its District round five match against Seaford Tigers.

Suffice to say that the opening day at Belvedere Park belonged to the bowlers, with 15 wickets falling on the opening day.

The Tigers won the toss and elected to bat, however, quickly found themselves in real trouble at 3/7.

Mitch Floyd was on fire after taking the new ball and snared the first three wickets.

He finished with 3/27 from 13 overs.

Corey Hand, as he has done so often over his career, saved his side with 57, while Matty Meagher also contributed a valuable 23 to help the Tigers to a modest yet defendable 148.

Carey Sawosz again rewarded his skipper for a bit of faith, returning figures of 4/34 from 13 overs.

Looking to capitalise on their bowlers’ great work, the Hastings batsmen couldn’t follow it up.

Hastings lost 3/8 in seven overs, including Jake Hewitt for a duck. Only four runs have come from the bat of Hastings’ players.

Meagher was superb for the Tigers with the new cherry, bowling three over and finishing with 2/3.

Carrum needs 43 runs with five wickets in hand in its match against Mt Martha.

The Reds batted first and made 166. A number of batsmen got starts but none could go on with it. Luke

PAGE 70

Moran top scored with 37 and Mitchel Darville hit 34.

Dean Polson was the best of the Lions’ bowlers with 3/19.

In reply, Carrum will resume at 5/104. However, they will be disappointed to have lost 5/35 after cruising at 0/69.

Openers Dale O’Neil was run out for 36 and Shaun Foster eventually went for 55.

Curtis Stone snared 3/52 from 11 overs for Mt Martha.

Main Ridge and Delacombe Park are evenly poised in their match.

However, this was another game that belonged to the bowlers with 14 wickets falling on the first day.

Main Ridge batted first and made 161, Brad Rossborough superb with a team high score of 81.

Shane Deal was equally as good for the Parkers with 5/29 off 14 overs.

Flinders has set Seaford 221 for victory after making 8/220.

Andrew Power top scored for the Sharks but fell one short of a half century, while keeper and opener Tim Clark was next best with 38.

Faisal Payenda was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 3/46.

In the final game for the round, Somerville needs 149 run with nine wickets in hand against Baden Powell.

The Braves batted first and made 166, Rhys Elmi top scoring with 56.

The Eagles will resume at 1/18.

Embarrassed Buds bowled out for 53 SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully ROSEBUD will be hoping for a lot of luck when it resumes in its match against Frankston YCW. The Buds were awful on Saturday, bowled out for just 53 in 35 overs.

Only Kane Donald could make it to double figures, top scoring with 17.

Two players were removed for ducks, two batsmen made just one run and there were a further two batsmen who were removed after making just two runs.

It was a shocking day for the Buds, especially when you consider the fact that it was the evergreen Andrew Kitson who did the bulk of the damage for the Stonecats.

Kitson has been retired for a number of years, however, made a return this season. On Saturday, he opened the bowling and picked up 5/23 from 18 overs.

Jeremy Daniel also opened the bowling for the Stonecats and snared 3/21.

The Stonecats faced the final 45 overs for the day and batted cautiously,

scoring at just over a run per over.

The visitors will resume at 3/58, Sammy Preston unbeaten on 16.

Pearcedale has already won its game against Ballam Park.

The Knights returned to their old ways on Saturday, dismissed for 107.

Chris Dew picked-up 6/29 for the Dales and Shayne Gillings and Kaine Smith claimed two wickets each.

In reply, Pearcedale is cruising at 1/116 with Brad Trotter unbeaten on 46. Gavin Moore backed-up his ton in the last match with another 40 on Saturday.

Carrum Downs has set Tootgarook a massive 284 for victory in their match after Mark Snelling blasted 101 and Matt Grayson hit 85 in only his second match.

Grayson and Snelling put on 193 after coming together with the score 1/12.

Balnarring is defending 192 against Tyabb and the Yabbies are a third of the way there, resuming at 1/40 this weekend.

Chris Murphy top scored for the Saints with 67, Brad Watson hit 43 and David Ross 40 to help their side

to almost 200.

Adam DiTrocchio was the pick of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 3/29 while Sam Holland-Burch also snared 3/55 from 17 overs.

Dromana will resume on day two 209 runs behind Skye but with all 10 wickets still in hand.

Skye batted first on Saturday and made 227, Stephen Smart top scoring with 82, while Pat Clinch made 62.

Zacc Klan was the best of the Dromana bowlers with 4/35.

Dromana hit 18 runs in the final four overs of the day.

Time for a change FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt The Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL - trading as PCNSA) has approved the collective withdrawal of membership of Casey Cardinia FNL clubs.

The clubs have been granted conditional approval (subject to some administrative requirements) to establish their own administration and governance, which will be centred within a new administration wing at Casey Fields.

According to AFL South East General Manager, Jeremy Bourke, given the unique structure of the MPNFL (governance of three seperate leagues), the collective withdrawal of membership of a league was an unprecedented and complex process.

“As such, the discussions that have been conducted between all parties over the past few months have been equally unique.

AFL South East would like to thank and acknowledge all parties for the respectful and measured manner in which these discussions have taken place, leading to an amicable resolution,” Bourke said in a statement.

The inauguration of an administration and Board focused exclusively on the operational needs and strategic development of the league heralds an exciting new era for the Casey Cardinia clubs. This in no way diminishes the contribution made by the MPNFL to the management and development of the competition over 20 years. In fact, without that contribution many CCFNL clubs may not be in existence today.

“Football Netball clubs within the South East growth corridor have always maintained a strong community connection,

a high degree of popularity and a diverse range of offerings. AFL South East will provide whatever support is required to ensure the new structure builds on these elements and enhances their dynamics,” Bourke said.

It is understood that the under the new management structure, Casey Cardinia clubs have forecast a profit of beyond $100,000 in 2015.

AFL South East will oversee the management of the competition. Exciting initiatives including videoing every match and an online footy show are amongst the plans.

It is an exciting time for the Casey Cardinia Clubs.

However, it turns the microscope back onto the PCNSA management and board.

There are a number of Nepean and Peninsula clubs disgruntled with the management of their leagues and this show of strength from Casey Cardinia clubs may just give them the confidence to stand up and be heard.

The reality is that the MPNFL has not developed over the past 20-plus years and it’s time for an overhaul.

Footy clubs need it, players need it and most of all, supporters need it.

AFL South East have an enormous amount of experience within the management of the organisation and are supported by the AFL. They are in place to support, grow and develop football in this region.

Casey Cardinia clubs have allowed them to do what they (AFL South East) are here to do.

It’s time others put their personal agendas aside, do what’s right for football in our region and let AFL South East get on with the job.

CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE THE INNOVATORS OF COMFORT™

A new bedroom before Christmas BEDSHED Mornington continues to offer great service and a huge variety of linen and accessories from their Mornington store and warehouse, and customers can be assured of getting their bedroom suite orders before Christmas.

With more than 20 bedroom suites on display at the Mornington showroom and two factories full of stock, Bedshed Mornington continue to supply customers with their bedroom suites and accessories either same day or at least that same week.

And there’s a big range of suites to choose from, with driftwood colour a popular choice as part of the beachside lifestyle, and all in top quality timbers and finishes.

Bedshed always make sure their variety is second to none, with a wide range of options including the current popular, modern style which is simple and smart, all the way to traditional, and gloss whites.

Owner Bedshed Mornington, Alan Franks, says there are some wonderful features in bedroom suites.

“Some of the suites have a USB charging socket in the bedside tables, secret compartments for keeping jewellery and maximum storage,” says Alan. “One of our big selling suites in the white gloss has two strip lights in the bedhead with two switches, storage compartments in the bedhead, a book case headboard,

drawers in the foot of the bed that’s the currently number one seller in Australia.”

Alan has been operating Bedshed Mornington with his son, Elton, for nine years now and says the business continues to offer the best service in the area.

“With our warehouses in Mornington with our own stock, often if someone orders a product they can often have it straight away,” said Alan.

“This is very different from most bedding stores where it can take six weeks or longer to have a bedroom suite delivered.”

Alan says that assembly is one of the many services that Bedshed offer for a reasonable fee.

“We are a family owned and run business that is part of the Australia wide franchise. Our products are the highest quality, and we are hands on, offering better service than other bedroom retailers on the peninsula.”

Call in to Bedshed Mornington and check out the new recycled and reclaimed timber bedroom suites that have just arrived.

“We have bedroom suites set up with our beautiful linen and accessories so you can see just how lovely your bedroom can look,” said Alan.
