Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au HUNDREDS of Mt Eliza homes have without landline phones since 10 May, Mother’s Day, after Telstra main cables were damaged. Telstra told customers the service was due to be repaired by Thursday 14 May but has since revised the date three more times – 19, 22 and 27 May. Some residents are furious with the way Telstra has handled the outage and a Facebook page used by Mt Eliza residents to complain or comment about current events is steaming with complaints as well as tips on how to work around the outage. After days of to-ing and fro-ing with the carrier, one frustrated resident posted: “It’s like: how dare I keep calling them. Also ticked them off on their incident reporting. Hey Telstra, it’s NOT fixed.� The damage has meant some residents have had painfully slow internet speeds while others have had to obtain wireless “dongles� to get back online. Telstra has supplied mobile phones for some customers and promised credit and refunds for others. It seems the squeaky wheel gets the most oil. One mother wrote: “Have had no landline or internet since Monday. Telstra told me today a copper cable had been cut and would be fixed by 22/5. Tell that

Man charged over car speedo scam

Tin rattlers: Chris Baker, Barry Smeaton, Sean Mapleback, Emilio Bitters, Jackson Calder and James Matthews will be collecting for this year’s Red Shield Appeal. Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MORNINGTON Peninsula car buyer was one of 91 victims of a trickster who allegedly wound back the speedos on cars he was selling online. Police at Mornington last week charged the man, 29, of Reservoir, with obtaining financial advantage by deception and acting as an unlicensed motor car trader. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court for a filing hearing and is expected to be tried at the Country Court at a later date. Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas, of Mornington police, will allege the man on-sold vehicles to the value of $1 million after buying them at motor car auctions and then re-advertising them through online classifieds. Police will allege the man used an easily-obtained speedo resetting device to “wind back the clocks” on the late model cars – with one reset from 240,000 kilometres back to 60,000 kilometres. The ruse came to light when a Mornington car dealer serviced one of the cars and recognised it as one he had sold previously – when it had many more kilometres on the speedo. He notified the new owner who was, understandably, horrified. Detective Vallas said police were investigating fraudulent car sales back to 2010 – but believed that they went back even further. There are also more than 91 victims, but “we had to draw a line somewhere”. It is claimed the fraudster conned his victims into believing the cars had genuine service books “which he had left home but would post next day”, and had used false dealer stamps on other fake service books. He said the online classified service had provided valuable information on the fraudulent sales and that records had been seized from a car trader in Reservoir. “More victims are coming forward following a three-month investigation,” Detective Vallas said. “They would not have bought the cars if they had known the true speedo readings. “Unfortunately, they, and the peninsula car buyer, won’t be receiving any recompense – it’s just their bad luck.”

Players’ hands up for appeal MORNINGTON Bulldogs players are joining members of community groups helping the Salvation Army with this year’s Red Shield Appeal. A self-described “sports fanatic”, Lieutenant Sean Mapleback is an officer with the Salvos as well Mornington Football and Netball Club chaplain.

Members of the Bulldogs and other volunteers will be collecting for the appeal at the intersection of MorningtonTyabb Rd and Main St, Mornington, on Sunday 31 May. “We also receive great support from Rotary clubs, the Mt Martha CFA and lifesaving club, plus members of the

public and local schools,” Lt Mapleback said. The Red Shield Appeal is held over the 30-31 May weekend although volunteer collectors will also be out and about in the days leading up to the weekend. Donations can be made online at salvationarmy.org.au

Sisters work their way to a new life Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A NEW land, a new language and no friends or job. It is a situation that is hard to imagine and even harder to experience. However, that was the predicament confronting Luz Restrepo when she arrived in Australia five years ago after fleeing her native Colombia. “I was a political asylum seeker with no contacts, very little English language and no employment,” Ms Restrepo said last week. “I had left my successful communications business to protect my family under threat.” It was a fear that she was unable to shake. “When I arrived in Australia I was full of fear, I felt like I was invisible to society and I had lost my sense of identity.” Without realising it at first, Ms Restrepo was part of a community: “I started to meet women with the same story, some were depressed, socially isolated, lacking confidence and some were at risk of domestic violence. “One woman I met had been here 20 years and didn’t speak any English. I knew I needed to do something to turn this around.” Believing the best way to become part of the wider Australian society was to achieve some sort of financial independence, Ms Restrepo wrote a business plan – in Spanish first, out of necessity – and start to learn English. She contacted other refugee and migrant women “and we started

teaching ourselves craft”. Although their products were being sold to shops in Melbourne, she realised the women were being isolated by making them at home.

“So I looked for some opportunities for us to sell our products together at markets. This way we were able to help each other by exchanging skills and improving our English.”

Meanwhile, several women from the Mornington Peninsula had joined others in supporting Ms Restrepo’s efforts and in May 2013 SisterWorks was established.

The organisation comprises 68 asylum seeker, refugee and migrant women, 44 volunteer supporters and three part time staff. Now living in Dromana, Ms Restrepo says SisterWorks encourages the vulnerable women “to tap into their underlying business and entrepreneurial abilities to find selfsufficiency”. Under her business by 2020 SisterWorks will be “a leading social enterprise known for the power of women from many nations working together to achieve amazing things”. “We believe that together women are stronger and together women can create opportunities for personal and economic growth.” Asked if she has a personal ambition, Ms Restrepo is quick to reply “be the minister for women, or entrepreneurs”. As the organisation’s executive officer she is also its “main voice” and as part of fundraising to find a permanent for SisterWorks Ms Restrepo will “share the stories” of the organisation’s members at Mornington Community Theatre 10ammidday Wednesday 10 June.

Man of principle JAMES Edward Fenton was Australia’s acting Prime Minister for five months in 1930 when PM

James Scullin was in England for the Imperial Conference. Fenton was living in Frankston when he died in December 1950 and was given a state funeral at the Methodist Church and buried at Mornington next to his wife Elizabeth who died in 1926. Fenton was a long-time resident of Merricks North, and lobbied successfully for a post office as well as building of what is now called Fenton Hall on Bittern-Dromana Rd, which was used as a state school from 1938 till 1950 when Red Hill Consolidated School opened. He was notable for having been appointed a cabinet minister by two governments of different political persuasions, Labor and the forerunner of the Liberal Party. The graves were restored in 2013 with a grant from the federal government obtained by Dunkley federal MP Bruce Billson. Mike Hast

In LA waiting on fame, not tables Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au LAURA Stevens is in Los Angeles hoping for a big break to put her on the path to stardom. But rather than just waiting to be spotted by a talent scout, the 20-yearold from Mt Martha is studying her craft through acting classes, auditioning and screen testing. “The life of a young actor in Los Angeles is very hard and demanding, as well as very confronting. She needs to have a very thick skin given the comments from casting agents,” her father Glenn Stevens said. “Social media is huge and she has been told she needs a strong social media profile and to also have articles in mainstream media. She has always been an actor of some sort as a kid, as well as in school productions. It has always been her ambition.” Stevens has been studying for years at The Australia Film and Television Academy run by actor John Orcsik (Cop Shop, Neighbours) and has had a day’s work on the forthcomiong ABC production Glitch. She has had many auditions and screen tests, including for the upcoming series of Tomorrow When the War Began. “Her goal is definitely TV and movies,” Mr Stevens said. “The course in LA is designed to expose young actors to casting agents over there. Laura Stevens started acting when she was young. “I performed in several seasons of theatre through Sleeping Star Produc-

Chasing her dream: Laura Stevens “couldn’t do anything else” but seek work as an actor.

tions but it wasn’t until I was about 15 that I realised it was 100 per cent what I wanted to do and I started focusing more on film and TV,” she said last week from Los Angeles. “I have been studying with TAFTA for three years and am absolutely loving it. I’ve met a whole bunch of great industry people through them.” Performing was always something

she wanted to do. “Whether it was on stage or on TV it was something that I’ve always seen myself doing,” she said. “I was never studious and school was just not my thing. “It is super hard and confronting sometimes as the industry is so appearance based, but I couldn’t do anything else.” Despite describing her family as “a

bunch of drama queens” Laura is the first to try acting. “I think I get the creative side from my dad, who is really into writing, but I’m a lone wolf on the acting front.” Stevens said she can “see myself more on TV at this stage in my career, but I would love to gain experience doing as many different genres as I can. I love comedy because it’s so upbeat and fun, but I love building the characters in drama. I’m still very young so I can play high school or college roles.” The actor is attending TAFTA’s 10-week program in Hollywood, making contacts and “working on my American accent”. “I’m meeting with managers and I’ve met so many great teachers through this course. I recently took classes with Vernon Wells - who is in Mad Max Fury Road. It was super helpful to get the perspective of an Australian who has been so successful over here.” Stevens said she “really looked up to” many Australian actors working in LA. “I admire Maia Mitchell. I would like to emulate her career and follow her path. Rebel Wilson is one of my ultimate favourites because she’s so raw. And, obviously, she’s hilarious. “My favourite actors are Dylan O’brien, Lily Collins and Meryl Streep.” If things don’t work out she has a skill to fall back on: “Laura was a waitress at the OnShore Cafe, Tootgarook, before to going to Los Angeles,” Mr Stevens said. “It’s something most actresses do.”

Cliff top crash THE driver of a small sedan was lucky to escape serious injury on Monday evening when he veered across the Esplanade, Mt Martha, and into cliff top tea trees. Sergeant Steve Ashley, of Mornington police, said a 34-year-old Rosebud man was driving south when he lost control and ploughed over the edge. “He is unsure why the accident happened but he’s very fortunate to have escaped injury,” he said. The man has been charged with unlicensed driving after failing to renew his licence.

Seal deal for a good life BEACHGOERS are being asked not to approach or feed a seal pup underneath Frankston pier. The female seal has made Frankston beach its temporary home after coming ashore early last week. Wildlife volunteers are keeping a daily watch on the seal’s behaviour and wellbeing. Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Education president Jackie Brown said people are welcome to take photographs from behind orange mesh barriers erected by Frankston Council. “We’re asking people not to approach and not to feed or stress her,” Ms Brown said. “If we’re going to give her that chance to get out there and survive and do well then she needs to not be fed

or handled in any way, shape or form.” Ms Brown said the seal pup is “doing well”, is active and has been feeding. Suspected fish hooks in the seal’s back turned out to be superficial barnacle injuries after an assessment by Melbourne Zoo officials. “Other than being a bit small and underweight and needing some good rest [she’s fine]. She’s got to learn to hunt … so she needs some time for peace and quiet and if we don’t humanise her or stress her out she’ll get stronger and will be able to get out there on her own.” AWARE Wildlife Rescue is always keen to hear from volunteers who have time to “seal watch”.

THE struggling Moorooduc Coolstores commercial centre is being thrown another lifeline in its long battle to remain viable. Its trading future has not been helped by the advent of Peninsula Link, which now diverts most peninsula tourist traffic away from the extensively renovated heritage buildings just south of Frankston. Although the centre now houses several businesses, including an Endota Spa and a cake shop, it needs more tenants. At the 22 April Mornington Peninsula Shire planning meeting councillors resolved to simplify the procedure for approving changes to use of the site, at the corner of the Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Rd West – where in the past many a lively night has been had involving strong drink and live music, among other activities. Now the site is aiming at emerging anew with a plan including a restaurant where pub rowdiness once occurred, and attracting health and tourism operators to its 500 square metres of shop floor space – developing a theme of “wellness, health, entertainment, food, wine, tourism, local farm produce even”, according to Mornington Peninsula Shire strategic planning manager Allan Cowley. When last used as a coolstore nearly half a century ago the building became a blacksmith-cum-light engineering shop. This was deemed an eyesore. The site was given special exemptions for

activities otherwise not permitted in the rural zone, which became the more strictly controlled green wedge zone about a decade ago. That was lifeline number one. More followed. A major one came in 2009 with a change to the shire’s planning scheme that, according to Mr Cowley’s report to councillors, approved more uses otherwise prohibited in the green wedge zone that have “so far proved to be commercially unviable”. Now, council is considering another lifeline. Some councillors were fervently pro-lifeline. A minority argued the site could not expect to get shire help forever and voted against the new proposal. They argued the site was zoned green wedge, and the activities occurring there, and proposed new activities, were an anomaly, out of kilter with shire policy of supporting townships and activity centres. Besides, it was now out of the tourist traffic stream that could have – but didn’t – make it thrive. The buildings that have housed art and craft shops, plant nurseries, a dwelling, a museum, an antique shop, a function centre and a radio station are now to be tried as a health and tourism precinct, hoping to attract travel and medical clinics, and possibly agricultural produce processors. No adult sex shops or laundromats permitted. Cr David Gibb, a grazier and staunch defender of the green wedge, failed to halve the shop floor space to 250 square metres, or 10 per cent of the site’s total floor area. This would be “a more appropriate number” for a use otherwise prohibited in green wedge, he argued.

Mr Cowley said councillors could alter the 500 square metre figure; it had been included to provide “wiggle room” for councillors to adjust if they chose. Cr Bev Colomb wanted the link with agriculture strengthened, to reflect the coolstores’ past. That could be “encouraged” or even “required”, Mr Cowley agreed. Cr Graham Pittock, supporting Cr Gibb, declared forthrightly: “We’re not in the business of handing out lifelines. [The site] is becoming too retail.” Cr Antonella Celi, also forthright, disagreed. There was a viable businesses looking to thrive on that corner, to awaken that corner, she said. “My ethic is not to be cutthroat to people ... who look to do the right thing and come to council in seeking to work with council,” she argued. “How many years have gone past, that Eramosa Rd – this place – has been used? A lot of businesses have gone bankrupt. Personally, I want to see that corner thrive, if there’s a business plan that has the potential to work. “I’m all for it. I’m not into destroying peoples’ livelihoods and businesses on this Mornington Peninsula.” So, when is green wedge land not to be treated as green wedge land? Answer: when slightly off-kilter council decisions taken over decades prolong the life of a chronic commercial invalid. If this lifeline, equivalent of changing the patient’s drip, fails to bring the Moorooduc Coolstores back to rude good health, does the shire throw it another? And another? Such are the dilemmas councillors face.

It gets frustrating when life goes offline Out of line: Preparatory work for the coming of the NBN in Mt Eliza has seen cables damaged and hundreds of homes without landlines or internet connections for days. Picture: Telstra

Continued from Page 1 Another resident explained on Facebook how copper wires to homes work: “In some cases ADSL will continue to work but slowly in the absence of a dial tone. There are four wires that come into the house. Two are used for one line, the other two are used for a secondary line if you have one. You only need one of the two wires to be working to have [the] internet.” A resident who runs an IT business from home told The News they had spent hours organising a replacement phone and internet dongle with Telstra and then a top-up for the dongle a week later. Customers of other carriers such as iPrimus, iiNet and TPG are also affected as they use Telstra’s

infrastructure. Late on Friday, Telstra area general manager Vicky Allen said “return of services is expected tomorrow [last Saturday]”. “Work is currently being carried out in Mt Eliza in preparation for the rollout of the NBN. Unfortunately this work has resulted in damage to some of our cables, which in turn has impacted about 600 customer services. “Replacing cable is quite complex and time-consuming as we need to cut and remove the damaged cable, source and install the new cable, and then connect each joint of the new cable with the existing cable.”

Q GRANITE TRANSFORMATIONS

Top tips to consider when renovating! From TV design expert, Shaynna Blaze When renovating a home, we often look to the experts to gather tips and inspiration to ensure the best possible results. Australian interior design H[SHUW 6KD\QQD %OD]H LGHQWLÂżHV ÂżYH key elements to consider with a kitchen or bathroom remodel on any budget. The face of hit shows, The Block and Selling Houses Australia, is a long term fan of Granite Transformations, and recently enlisted the leading makeover specialists to renovate the kitchen, kitchenette and bathroom in her new studio in Hawthorn, Victoria.

Usage – Who is using the space and how? It’s important to think about who is going to be in the area and how the area is going to be used on a daily basis. “Keeping these things in mind helps to create your layout, the appliances and ÂżWWLQJV \RX QHHG ULJKW GRZQ WR WKH colour palette you will select.â€?

Generations get board together Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

Project is a “social enterprise ‌ that believes that when generations, families, businesses and individuals from different walks of life share, connect and learn from one another we have a richer, more effective communityâ€?. When he started his project two years ago it was aimed at “addressing one of the most significant challenges impacting the largest and fastest growing demographic in the population – addressing the digital exclusion of seniorsâ€?. It didn’t take long for him to realise that having the two generations work alongside one another also brought them closer together, with obvious mutually beneficial outcomes. The idea of having young and old working together was extended earlier this month to making the bellyboards with Mt Eliza-based wooden surfboard makers Tree to Sea. Gary Miller and Rob Ivers usually show groups of eight how to make surfboards from the plantation grown timber, paulownia. This time the half day workshop involved six students and six members of Mornington Men’s Shed. They planed, sawed and glued the boards which will be varnished and polished by the men’s shed members. Profits from their sale will then go towards running the shed.

THE making of six wooden paipos, or wooden Hawaiian bodyboards, is a centrepiece of a project that is sees generations swapping skills. In return for being shown how to handle timber working tools by members of Mornington Men’s Shed students from Mt Eliza Secondary College are giving lessons on handling such digital touch screen devices as smart phones and hand held computers. But the outcomes for both old and young go much deeper than the creation of a surfboard or ability to operate a smart phone or computer. A surprising connection between the generations comes in the form of statistics: about 15 per cent of seniors on the Mornington Peninsula suffer depression and about 20 per cent of year 7 and year 8 students suffer depression. “They’re horrible statistics and I don’t think we fully understand what they mean to our community,� Better Together Project leader Merv Stewart said. “But both ends [young and old] have that problem.� Mr Stewart said the Better Together

Winter Jazz Festival to bring town alive

Mr Stewart, of Mt Martha, says “real magic” happens when the two generations work together. Within hours of the boards being built the story behind their construction was featured on the beyondblue Facebook page which in turn created an “unbelievable response” back to Mr Stewart. Inquiries about the Better Together Project have come from all around Australia.

Another boost will come next month when Mr Stewart, a Mt Eliza Secondary College student and “a local senior” feature on posters promoting Westpac bank’s social change fellowships. Westpac has appointed the Irish born consultant program manager one of its ambassadors. “I’m being used to show what’s possible when you reconnect the generations,” Mr Stewart said. “They have shared issues.” He hopes the Better Together Project will gain a “national momentum”. When the two generations were working side by side “it feels good, you can feel the energy and there’s no need to teach anyone how to interact”. Mr Stewart said the board-making half day had been a great success. Seeing the departing students call out their thanks from a bus “says we’re really onto something here”. Mr Stewart said the idea behind the

project grew from the realisation that the “story” behind his family’s 16th century dairy farm in Ireland had been lost, partly because of the gulf between generations created as a by-product of the digital age. “They didn’t know how to use technology.” He now plans to take the co-operation between generations into sport and hopes talks now underway will see Mt Eliza Secondary offering one-on-one computer training to seniors on a regular basis as part of its “real time learning” classes. “We’ve run four or five events at the school and hope other schools will also pick them up. “The generations are all training together and the activity and experience is the key to success, not necessarily the product.” The find out more go to bettertogetherproject.com.au or treetosea.com.au

Customers scammed by skimmers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au BANK customers are being warned to watch out for skimming devices being fitted to some Mornington Peninsula branch ATMs. A Bendigo Bank customer at Dromana got a shock to find her savings account “cleaned out” on Monday last week and immediately posted a warning on her Facebook page. Katrina Cooper, of Dromana, told friends to make sure the light was

flashing over the card insert slot “otherwise it may have a skimming device” and also to cover the keypad with their hands when keying in PIN numbers. “People need to know for their own security,” she said. “My card had been copied and used in Sydney to steal $1100 – it just vanished.” Ms Cooper heard about the theft from the Mornington branch of the bank, where staff had spotted the dubious transaction. “They were fantastic,” she said. “They asked if I needed any money while things were getting sort-

ed; if they could do anything to help in the meantime.” She said another customer had also been skimmed on the same day. A Bendigo Bank spokeswoman said fraud monitoring strategies were aimed at “preventing, detecting and reacting to skimming”. “The bank takes these events very seriously and cooperates with industry partners and police to combat fraud,” she said. “We encourage customers to be mindful of their surroundings when making a transaction and, if they notice

any suspicious behaviour or devices at, or around, the ATM, they should stop the transaction.” Many ATMs now have privacy shields to cover PINs. “Customers should be cautious when entering their PIN if the terminal has not been fitted with one,” she said. “We recommend they use their spare hand to cover their PIN entry.” The spokeswoman said customers should take care not to let their card leave their sight when making a purchase in a store.

“They should never allow their card to be swiped through a device other than the EFTPOS terminal.” Bendigo Bank customers should call 1300 236 344 if they have any concerns or queries, or if they notice any unusual activity on their account. Rye, Dromana and Rosebud Community Bank branches senior manager Gary Sanford said there were “not many instances” of skimming. “If customers have concerns they should contact their branch immediately,” Mr Sanford said.

Italianate gem built by early shire boss

Tower Rd lights to cost $500,000

ONE of Mornington’s iconic properties of the 19th century is on the market for $1.6 million. Mossgiel at 28 Bath St near the base of Beleura Hill and within a short stroll of Mills Beach will be auctioned on Saturday 13 June. The 2790-square metre property with its Italianate house is on the corner of Bath and Whitby streets, and has been owned by Philip and Moira Robinson of Robinson’s Bookshop fame since 1961. The couple opened their shop in Frankston in 1965 and sold it in 1993. It continues to trade. “We bought the property twice,” Mr Robinson told The News. “We bought it in 1961 but decided to return to the United Kingdom and sold it under vendor’s terms. The buyer contacted us in 1965 to ask for an extension but we decided to return to Australia and bought it back.” The Robinsons are selling because they want to be within easy walking distance of “the library and the shops” and the big garden is becoming harder to maintain. They are long-time members of the Australian Native Plants Society and Peninsula Music Society. Moira is widely known as a lecturer, critic and champion of children’s literature. The couple, who raised four children in the four-bedroom house, have bought a 1930s-era house near Main St with room for their eight grandchildren to stay. Mossgiel is heritage listed. If it was a vacant block it could be worth as much as $2.5 million. “That’s the downside of owning a heritage property,” Mr Robinson said. “Mornington Peninsula Shire recently put heritage overlays on 60 properties and in many cases the overlay reduces the value of the property, but no

THE proposed signalised pedestrian crossing at Mt Eliza where Tower Rd and Volitans Ave join the Nepean Hwy will cost $500,000 and take about three months to construct. The News reported last week (“Lights for black spot”) the budget was $400,000 but Mornington Peninsula Shire will contribute $100,000 and a grant from the federal government will be $400,000. It had previously allocated $300,000 but the price went up when VicRoads agreed the lights needed vehicle-activated underroad pads at Tower Rd that will trigger the lights when cars seeking to enter the highway have been waiting a while. This should stop dangerous manoeuvres by drivers who have run out of patience trying to enter highway traffic. Dunkley federal MP Bruce Billson said in a statement he was “heartened VicRoads has confirmed it will carry out improvements, as I have been concerned about pedestrian and motorist safety moving around the bustling Mt Eliza village for a number of years”. He said the project would include the pedestrian traffic signals, “relocation of the southbound bus stop, vehicle detectors, construction of a footpath on the eastern side of the highway, and on-road bicycle treatments”. “While I am disappointed the state government has not contributed funding to the project and the final VicRoads plans show not all road safety recommendations have been ... included, I am pleased there will be extra measures to improve safety at the intersection.” He acknowledged state government agency VicRoads had done the design work and would manage the project.  Work on a roundabout where Mt Eliza Way meets Wimborne and Kenaud avenues started last week. The $800,000 federal government-funded project includes drainage improvements and remaking of Mt Eliza Way between the roundabout and Nepean Hwy. Mike Hast

compensation is suggested.” The property is named after the 1780s farm of “the national poet of Scotland”, “the Ploughman Poet”, Robert Burns (1759-96), who reputedly wrote many of his famous works at the farm. A shire heritage report from 2012 states Henry Erskine Moors, shire secretary from 1888 to 1904, “bought land in Bath St in 1889 including 26-28 Bath St on which he built a house”. Moors had earlier bought land on the corner of Bath and Morell streets, closer to the beach, in July 1881. “Bath St was originally part of Alexander Beatson Balcombe’s 43-acre Balcombe Hill Estate overlooking Mornington, which Balcombe purchased in 1873,” the report stated.

“The land was subdivided in 1874 into 1.5 to 4 acre lots. It was reportedly not until 1879 that Balcombe’s executors auctioned the land for building purposes. “Titles show that Joseph Wilmouth purchased land on the corner of Bath St and High St (now Morell St) in September 1875 and sold the property to Eliza Roberts in May 1891.” Roberts sold to Moors. The estate agent’s blurb says Mossgiel was Bath St’s “first home ... and retains many of its original features including the detailed slate roof, cast-iron lacework verandas, high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, sash windows and open fireplaces”. “This is a truly unique opportunity to restore and preserve an important piece of local history.” Mike Hast

ARGUMENTS for and against the rezoning of South East Water’s decommissioned reservoir land in Mt Eliza for housing were put to a state government planning panel meeting in Rosebud last week. The panel has 30 business days to prepare its report and the planning authority will have a maximum of 28 days to release the report to the public, says Mornington MP David Morris who has taken a keen interest in the matter. Late last year he asked Mornington Peninsula Shire to extend its public consultation period. The shire refused. In early 2014 the government water authority asked the shire to rezone its old reservoir land of 2.8 hectares on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads, east of Kunyung Rd, for 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres each, worth about $450,000 a block or $10.8 million in total. The dam was decommissioned in 1999 and has become a haven for wildlife. Residents, environmentalist and others want the land to be a nature reserve as this part of Mt Eliza has just two inland reserves – Bruce Cameron Reserve (site of Kunyung Preschool) and an uninviting, flood-prone area next to Gunyong Creek. Reservoir neighbours formed a lobby group, Kunyung Residents Group, in late November to push for a reserve and sought expert guidance and assistance from individual wildlife experts and groups. Mr Morris said the panel had heard presentations from the “shire council, South East Water, Mornington Peninsula Human Rights Group, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’

THE theft of dozens of brass plaques from gravestones at Frankston cemetery last week has shocked RSL president Kevin Hillier. “It is very disappointing for the community in this year of the centenary of Anzac,” he said. “We had such a good turnout for the commemorations and now I feel so sorry for their families.” Detective Senior Constable Mark Garrett, of Frankston Crime Investigation Unit, said 48 plaques were removed overnight on Tuesday 12 May from the north-east corner of the Cranbourne Rd cemetery. The damage bill to the graves is estimated at $24,000 yet the plaques would only return a fraction of their emotional value as scrap metal. Mr Hiller said he hopes “any scrap metal dealers will think twice” before accepting the plaques and make contact with police to help catch the offenders. Cemetery staffers believe 15 exservicemen’s graves were defaced, including seven Official War Graves which are cared for by the Office of Australian War Graves. Temporary plaques will be placed at the seven sites and permanent replacements ordered immediately. It is expected to take about a month for the new, permanent plaques to be made and installed. There will be no costs to the families affected. Detective Garrett said police were appealing for public help in finding the culprits. “If anyone saw any suspicious activity at the cemetery they should call police on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

and Residents’ Association, Women’s Property Initiative and Kunyung Residents Group”. Individuals addressing the panel included former Mt Eliza Ward councillor Leigh Eustace, who has been pushing for more open space for many years. The shire requested South East Water set aside a substantially larger parcel of land for parkland than was originally allocated, Mr Morris said. The shire asked for one hectare of open space, more than a third of the

SEW land. The panel was asked to recommend that two blocks be allocated for public housing. Rebecca Taylor of Kunyung Residents Group told the panel SEW had the opportunity to put forward a positive image to the region as it comes closer to moving its headquarters to Frankston from the City of Kingston. SEW is building an eight-storey tower next to Kananook Creek, which will house about 600 employees. “We ask that you [panel members]

please recommend to council that they not be hasty in their rezoning of this property, and that the land be further assessed in regards to the environmental impact on the local flora and fauna and the significance on the surrounding natural corridors,” Ms Taylor said. In March, South East Water stated that it had a responsibility as an essential service provider to ensure “efficient operation of infrastructure and use of land owned by the corporation”. Mike Hast

LETTERS Turning away It seems the official position of our country is to now turn the other way when people are drowning at sea off the coast of Malaysia. It is the problem of the countries in the immediate region who, apparently, are somehow responsible for the policies of the government of Burma, another sovereign country. And to show our objection to them fleeing, we will not agree to re-settle any of them, although it is pretty clear they are fleeing immediate violence and ethnic cleansing policies. All this in the interests of avoiding people drowning at sea. These are inhuman attitudes which infect the rest of our society, because they come from the top. Declare to your politicians - Not in our name. Kevin Bain, Frankston

One rule for all Flinders MP Greg Hunt recently attacked the Christian community by asserting that they had a lot of nerve to complain about children in detention and were not troubled about African refugees. This is really rich coming from a guy who actively participates in a government that made political heyday about the legal execution of two kingpin drug smugglers in Indonesia. When, we wonder, will Mr Hunt’s government protest the executions in China (maybe an Australian or two soon to be executed there) and the executions in the United States? When will we hear appeals to spare the Boston bomber from the death penalty? When will we hear demands to not apply the death penalty for the black teenagers who murdered Australian baseball player Chris Lane? Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Develop for jobs

Change direction The present cacophony being uttered by politicians, the media and others regarding family violence may be well meaning but is, for the most part, utterly futile, because it addresses the symptoms of the problem not the underlying cause. When the underlying cause is identified one realises that the problem effects not only women and children, but the unborn, the old and men. The underlying cause is a loss of respect for the human condition. Why else would people

Whenever I read the local newspapers, I am reminded how lucky those of us who now live on the Mornington Peninsula are. We have beautiful countryside, fantastic beaches and some great villages.

It would be even better if it were still 1815, or even 1915. Unfortunately, it is 2015, a reality apparently lamented by some of your regular contributors. There seems no end of correspondents who are against something - be it a chairlift at Arthur’s seat, an improved port at Hastings, more economic use of land in Mt Eliza or an expanded resort at Cape Schanck. It seems these people have everything they want already and don’t see any reason to accommodate the needs or aspirations of people from somewhere else who may want to live here – especially anyone born after the 1950s. Although The Greens and ALP may disagree, we can’t all live on welfare or be public servants. There have to be opportunities for genuine employment in the private sector, especially for the young and those not yet born. If we keep fighting against any development that may actually create jobs, we are dooming them to a bleak future and our nation to economic ruin. Change is inevitable and it makes more sense to anticipate and plan for this than to bury our heads in the sand. How about we have a moratorium on people trying to deny change and replace it with a campaign to encourage effective planning and development? Maybe an award scheme to recognise any project which can secure employment for our younger people – as long as it is not the construction of an impenetrable wall along our shire’s northern boundary.

abuse themselves with such evils as pornography or drugs such as alcohol and Ice? Why else would people allow the killing of their unborn through abortion? Why else would people kill their children in order to take revenge on an estranged partner? Why would some societies allow their senior citizens to be treated shabbily or, worse still, be subjected to involuntary euthanasia? Until some means arises which switches society’s values back to those of an earlier time, when human life in all its forms, warts and all, was regarded as truly precious, any flailing and wailing by the aforementioned politicians and the media is doomed to fail. Michael Long, Frankston

Parties irrelevant Now the Labor Party is also happy to slash the renewable energy target by 25 per cent. The “climate change is crap” party,(the Liberals) is going to leave the coastal dwellers around the planet to drown, because no meaningful action on carbon reduction is in its ideological tool kit. Profit before any other consideration is the motto of these old and, frankly, irrelevant parties. If we want some action to stop them from selling our kids and grand kids future to the highest bidding multinational, it is time to populate the barricades and make our politicians for once work for the common people and not just for the upper 1 per cent. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Ceremony praised On Friday 24 April, I was very fortunate, as a Mornington Rotarian and community member, to attend Mornington Secondary College’s Anzac ceremony to commemorate the ‘100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing. It was one of the most impressive school ceremonies that I have attended and it is important that our community should appreciate the excellence of this ceremony and the quality of education provided by this school. There were numerous highlights deserving of praise, particularly the fact that the entire ceremony was conducted by students, and in a most dignified and solemn way. The catafalque party and the MC Bastion Merson were superb and it is hard to conceive of a more precise and professional display. The CFA drum corps, the raising of the flags, the contributions of the college band and school choir, the recitation of the Anzac requiem and bugler Tara Bischorn’s sounding of the Last Post all contributed to the dignity and symbolism of the occasion. The exemplary level of respect displayed by the entire student body was particularly moving and noteworthy. The placing of the poppies by students and presentation of Lone Pine seedlings ready for planting along the school drive were wonderful touches. The students of Mornington Secondary College deserve our heartiest congratulations and praise for the splendid manner in which they honoured this historic event, the fallen and the spirit of Anzac. Likewise, the staff and executive deserve commendation for the successful role they are playing in nurturing and supporting the development of young people who value respect and responsibility, in a society that places so

many other conflicting pressures on to young people. Anzac Day, 2015, we will not forget, and there is no doubt that the student cohort of Mornington Secondary College 2015, in 50 years, will not forget their honouring of this day. Frank G Fisher, Mornington

Tough winter A growing number of our neighbours will face a lonely winter this year with as many as 7 per cent, or 1.5 million Australians predicted to be considered isolated or very isolated this year. Having friends around us makes us more resilient to life’s knocks and challenges. Red Cross helps people of all ages who are doing it tough. We help isolated people reconnect with their communities by assisting them to join social groups and build new friendships. Red Cross also provides free phone calls to thousands of elderly Australians each day just to check they’re OK. We help people who are homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless, those with mental health issues and disadvantaged families who want a better future for their children. Across the Asia Pacific region we are working provide clean drinking water and better sanitation, and help rebuild lives after major disasters. All of our work relies heavily on the generosity of people who donate to Red Cross. I’m asking everyone to dig deep before 30 June to make sure Red Cross will always be there for our friends and neighbours. To make a tax deductible donation by 30 June call 1800 811 700 or go to redcross.org.au. Robert Tickner, chief executive, Australian Red Cross

Pedestrian concern The number of pedestrians who have been killed or injured in Victoria in recent years is of great concern. Last year, 44 pedestrians lost their lives on Victorian roads – an increase of 22 per cent on the previous year. Almost one third of the victims were elderly and the majority of them were men. In the past 12 months, hundreds of pedestrians were also seriously injured in Victoria and required hospitalisation. During the same period, our law firm has seen a jump in enquiries from injured pedestrians. In Victoria we are lucky to have a no fault scheme that gives injured pedestrians access to a range of benefits, but no amount of money can ever properly compensate them for the physical and psychological trauma that they have suffered. Whether you are pedestrian, a driver or a cyclist, it is important to remember our roads are shared zones and we all bear a responsibility to look out for each other. Joanne Panagakis, Slater and Gordon

Black cockatoos showing style aloft DURING late autumn and winter, residents of and visitors to the Mornington Peninsula might be lucky to spot male black cockatoos as they show off in the hope of attracting a mating partner. Susanna Bradshaw of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife says that “just like hipster human equivalents who strut their stuff along uber-trendy streets, male black cockatoos are preening themselves and combing their quiffs in an effort to impress femalesâ€?. Ms Bradshaw, CEO of the foundation, said there are five black cockatoo species in Australia and they can be found across much of the country. “The yellow-tailed black cockatoo is the main species in Victoria. In Melbourne they can be seen at the Botanic Gardens and in rural areas they prefer forested areas. Sadly their numbers are declining due to land clearing with Victoria being the most cleared state in Australia.â€? On the peninsula, the birds can be seen in the hinterland – Red Hill and Main Ridge area – as well as on the Western Port side but they range far and wide. The peninsula’s many stands of old, tall pine trees are favourite places. “Unlike their sulphur-crested cousins, black cockatoos do not damage houses and only eat fruit crops when their native foods are low or missing,â€? Ms Bradshaw said. “The distinctive cry of black cockatoos as they fly past on a crisp autumn day is a very sentimental Australian sound. Their intelligent and gentle nature is also a delight to witness. These unique Aussie birds are very deserving of our help to make our suburbs and towns better places for them. “Tips for living with black cockatoos include: ď Ž With the extreme weather battering the eastern coast of Australia recently, many people are turning to the chainsaw to remove large trees from their properties. It is these big trees that many Australian animals depend on for nesting and protection. Land clearing is the single biggest threat to the black cockatoo. Seek professional advice before removing trees and leave

them be if they are safe or away from pedestrian areas so that beautiful black cockatoos and many other creatures can enjoy the trees for years to come. ď Ž To encourage black cockatoos into your backyard, plant their favourite foods such as casuarinas, native pine trees, banksias and tall eucalypts. ď Ž Radiata pines are very popular as they love to eat pine cones. However, these trees are introduced and highly invasive. Before removing them, try to build up native trees nearby so cockatoos will have somewhere to eat and hang out. “Don’t get the wrong idea about these show-off males. They are not just about looks; they’re also very intelligent and loving. A cockatoo pair will mate for life, which can be more than 50 years, and they will care for each other into old age, even after they can no longer reproduce. “The male bird will dance to impress his mate by bopping his head like a hip-hop star and fluffing up his crest. He will also bring her food gifts, sing to her and preen her feathers to show his affection during the breeding season. The female will often give the male a sharp peck for his efforts as if bringing him into line. “Their gregarious and loving nature has made black cockatoos popular pets. Sadly there is a black market trade, particularly in the United States where they fetch the highest price. Because they are slow at reproducing, poachers illegally taking babies and eggs has significantly affected their wild numbers.â€? ď Ž Black cockatoos are the biggest parrots in Australia. ď Ž Most females lay two eggs, however only one chick will survive. The chick will stay with its parents for about six months, making these birds very slow reproducers. ď Ž Old Australian bush lore suggests the screeching of a black cockatoo means rain is on its way, so keep an ear out for their distinctive cry so you can bring your washing in on time. ď Ž The foundation has a free “Backyard Buddiesâ€? program with members receiving a monthly email with tips to make your backyard inviting and safe for native animals.

Conflict call puts brakes on resort Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au

Progress: Artist’s impression of how the RACV resort could look from one of the existing homes in the Cape Schanck estate.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council’s pending decision on the controversial RACV Cape Schanck resort expansion has been thrown into disarray over potential conflict of interest. The shire’s governance department cancelled last Wednesday’s meeting about the resort application just hours before it was due to start. Advice from the shire’s legal adviser had previously given councillors who are RACV members the all-clear to discuss and decide on the proposed $135 million resort but advice seen by The News disagreed. Governance took the conservative approach and stopped the meeting in Mornington. The issue hangs on members of RACV roadside assistance being entitled to discounts of up to 25 per cent at club resorts throughout Victoria as well as discounted insurance. The shire is remaining tight-lipped over the matter and issued a two-paragraph statement to The News: “The [development assessment committee] meeting scheduled for May 20 was postponed to enable council to seek clarification from the Minister for Local Government on the potential for a conflict of interest for councillors who are members of the RACV. The meeting will be rescheduled as soon as council receives the advice from the minister.” Councillors and the governance department have been more aware of potential conflicts since Cr Graham

Pittock was fined $4000 plus massive costs in September 2014 after the Local Government Inspectorate took legal action in 2012 over him voting on Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) matters in 2012. SPA was to have a gym and Cr Pittock owns a gym in Dromana. It appears councillors will not be able to vote on the RACV resort unless they are given an exemption by the Minister for Local Government. One council watcher said it would be better if the council asked for the minister to “call in” the RACV matter, taking it out of the council’s hands. On Friday, local state MP Martin Dixon criticised the council over the issue: “I am very disappointed that councillors cannot seem to organise themselves coherently and as such are causing even more unexplained delays

in yet another important local project.” Mr Dixon said the majority of residents in the Cape Schanck estate “have always supported the proposal for a redevelopment of the RACV resort and as such I requested the previous planning minister [Matthew Guy] to get on with making a decision on the proposed [planning] amendment [to facilitate the redevelopment] as quickly as possible”. “The minister eventually approved the amendment, which then enabled council to advertise the proposal and commence the planning process...” Asked if he was an RACV member, Mr Dixon said it was irrelevant. “The decision to approve the [planning] amendment was the minister’s and the decision to approve the design is for councillors.” Opponents of the planned resort

have consistently said they supported the concept initially but then saw plans for a building of five storeys that will be almost 30 metres high. They are concerned about increased traffic and noise, too. The RACV wants to demolish the existing clubhouse and construct a building to accommodate 650 conference delegates, up from the existing 250 limit. It will have 120 rooms, a restaurant for 140 people and a cafe for 44 people. Opponents claim there have been “breaches of process”. “We are not seeking to stop the development – we just expect compromise to ensure it meets all requirements of the Incorporated Document [the precinct’s separate planning scheme,” spokeswoman Irene Wyld said.

Frankston misses crossing removals THE first level crossings to be removed along the Frankston line have been named by the Labor state government but Frankston itself has missed out. Contracts were awarded on Tuesday to remove crossings at Centre Rd in Bentleigh, McKinnon Rd in McKinnon and North Rd in Ormond as part of Premier Daniel Andrews’ pre-election pledge to remove 50 of Melbourne’s most congested level crossings across the rail network. John Holland and the KBR consortium will remove the three crossings. Labor promised to separate 20 road and rail intersections during its first fouryear term in government. Labor has now announced 17 of the 20 level crossings to be removed. Bentleigh Labor MP Nick Staikos, who won the seat by 0.8 per cent is the big winner from the confirmed crossings works since the three confirmed so far are in his electorate. Eleven level crossings are earmarked for removal along the Frankston line but most will not be removed within the next four years. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke is therefore likely to face voters at the next state election with no works having been done on level crossings in his marginal electorate. Mr Edbrooke said he is “working hard to ensure that the level crossing at Skye Rd is removed as soon as possible”. The eleven Frankston line crossings to be removed are: North Rd (Ormond), Balcombe Rd (Mentone), Centre Rd (Bentleigh), Charman Rd (Cheltenham), Edithvale Rd (Edithvale), Eel Race Rd (Carrum), McKinnon Rd (McKinnon), Seaford Rd (Seaford), Skye Rd (Frankston), Station St (Bonbeach), Station St (Carrum).

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Horse breaker found not guilty of negligence Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE Emu Plains and Bittern Race Club will hold their postponed race meeting on Tuesday next (weather permitting). *** S. S. PRICE, dentist, of Melbourne, will be at Garrood’s Prince of Wales Hotel this weekend, for the convenience of those who may wish to consult him. *** MR Allan W. Taylor, of the Frankston Motor Garage, has been appointed agent at Frankston for the Dunlop Tyre Co., and has in hand a good stock of all their motor accessories. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Football Club acknowledges with thanks the following donations to wards the club’s funds: Messrs C. Grant, W. J. Oates and Jacobs, 10s 6d each. *** SERGEANT Walter Fisher, who is reported wounded at the Dardanelles, previous to enlisting, lived at Frankston for some years, where his wife and family now reside. He is one of six brothers, all of whom are in the service of the King. Four of them are at the front, one is at Broadmeadows, and another is with the Heavy Artillery at the Heads. Mrs Fisher, the mother of the boys, resides at Footscray. *** MUNICAPILITIES which do not contribute directly to the funds of the Infectious Diseases Hospital at Fairfield will not in future be entitled to have patients treated free of charge at

the institution. A regulation has been made under the Infectious Diseases Hospital Act, 1914, by the Governor in Council, fixing 1s per patient per day as the sum which the Fairfield Hospital authorities may recover from a non-contributing municipality in respect of each patient from its district received at the institution. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Frankston Football Club was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening. Present - Cr Oates (vice- president), Messrs Kinnimont, Jackson, Young and C. Twining (hon. sec). The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Routine correspondence was read and received, and accounts amounting to £5 5s 4d were passed for payment. Mr Scoble was elected a member of the committee, and took his seat, on the motion of Mr Young, seconded by Mr Jackson. The secretary was instructed to write to Langwarrin club re payment of umpire’s fee for next Saturday, and the meeting closed. *** THE Consulting Engineer of the Frankston Gas Company, Mr V. U. Crowley, A.A.I.E.E., visited Somerville and Hastings on Friday and Saturday of last week in connection with the Frankston and District Electric Supply. Under the guidance of Messrs Watt and Keast, local councilors, he interviewed nearly the whole of the residents of these towns, and met with a good reception everywhere. Undertakings to take current as soon as available were given by household-

ers to a most satisfactory extent. The other districts in the shire, where it is proposed to take supply lines, will be canvassed at an early date. *** MR F. W. Roper, of Somerville, has been nominated to act as Lay Representative of the parochial district of Westernport in the Synod of the Diocese of Melbourne. Failing the receipt of any further nominations Mr Roper will be duly elected. Nominations close on the 31st May, 1915. The Rev. F. E. Watts will be away from the district on Sundays, 30th May, 6th and 15th June, when he will exchange with Rev. G. A. M. Ceruthy, Rev. A. R. Mace and Rev. M. Griffeth, and will return on Friday, June 18th. During the absence of the Vicar the district will be in charge of Rev. A. J. Thompson, whose postal address is Somerville. *** FREDERICK Knox, of Pearcedale, was charged at the Melbourne County Court on the 19th inst; with the loss of a horse valued at £20, and alleged trespass and negligence. It appears that Knox, who is a horse breaker, residing in the same locality, proceeded to Jas. Burton’s paddock (the owner of the horse) in company with his brother and another man, and tried to catch the horse for the purpose of breaking it in, and while doing so the animal ran into a ti-tree pole in the fence and impaled himself. The judge said he could not see any evidence of negligence. No doubt Burton wanted the horse broken in and Knox came to get it. He seems to have done nothing

improper or unusual, and there was no negligence on his part. A verdict was given for defendant, with costs, to be taxed. *** A GREAT game was witnessed by a fair crowd at Langwarrin on Saturday last, when Langwarrin and Mornington met. A good solid game was played which ended in anything but a sports manlike manner on the part of the visitors. When our goal umpires came to tally up (to our amazement) our goal umpire being closely interested, had forgotten to put down two points which Langwarrin had scored in the last few moments, and the visitors’ goal umpire seeing this turned away and was seen deliberately to turn away and destroy his official score card and then came forward and said he had it snatched from him. Well this is not clean sport, but in all confidence we uphold ourselves the winners by 2 points, being backed up by a majority of Mornington’s supporters, by male and female. The game was fast and full of hard knocks from start to finish, and the work of the umpire was made very hard through the bad state of the ground in general. *** EMPIRE Day was celebrated at Frankston on Monday, 24th May, very quietly. If it had not been that several of the townspeople displayed their flags, the day would hardly have been remembered. No doubt this can be accounted for by the war taking a paramount place in the minds of the people at present, and it being

brought more forcibly before their minds as each day fresh lists of dead and wounded are published in the press. The children at the State school at Frankston were given interesting addresses in the morning by Rev. R. Jackson, Mr Adams and Mr W. W. Richardson. Mr E. M. McComb (member of the school board) was also present. The afternoon was devoted to games and amusements in the school grounds. In the evening a picture show by Mr Alex Gunn (of Melbourne) was given in the Mechanics’ Hall, which was well attended. A small charge was made for admittance, and the surplus over expenses will be given to the Belgian fund. *** THE local branch of the Red Cross Society is proving themselves to be a live and enthusiastic body. The secretary, Mrs E. P. Mair, has just purchased £3 worth of flannel from the Lady Mayoress, and has distributed it among the ladies to be worked up into garments for the soldiers. As the result of the canvas, a large number of residents have become members of the society, and are paying their subscriptions by monthly installments. On Wednesday next a social will be held in the hall in aid of the fund, when a thoroughly enjoyable evening is guaranteed. The committee of management is making excellent arrangements as regards music and refreshments, and a bumper house should result. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 May, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Dog day afternoon tea By Stuart McCullough MORNINGTON Peninsula’s grunge overlords, The Fauves, were absolutely right: dogs really are the best people. It was a sentiment that, until recently, I treated with considerable suspicion. In our house, the push is on for a dog. Initially, I sought to broker a compromise by suggesting a robot vacuum with a wig stuck on, but it seems there is no room for compromise. Having conceded that there will be a canine addition to our family, we must now decide what kind of dog we want. This is no easy matter. The considerations are endless. First there’s size. Smaller dogs may not take up much room, but they can be yappy. Large dogs are generally require less exercise but, in a certain light, can resemble a horizontal Wookie. My needs, as always, are simple: just give me a dog that’s good with kids and can reverse park a station wagon and I’m happy. When faced with big decision, we like to do a lot of research. This meant attending ‘The Dog Lovers Show’. It would be my first such event. I’d been to the Royal Show a bunch of times and attended several Big Days Out, but never anything quite so canine focussed. I had many questions. Would there be showbags? Crowd-surfing? Would The Fauves make an appearance? And what role will the Ford Precision Driving Team play? As a novice, it was clear that I was going to need some help. Preferably, from someone who was all over the entire

puppy caper. My niece, Matilda, is such a person. She is nine years old and besides being a top quality fudge chef and netball enthusiast, knows a lot about puppies. Generously, she offered to be my guide as I navigated my way through a canine minefield. Unlike me, Matilda wasn’t facing the impending puppy maelstrom with any kind of trepidation. In fact, she was totally pumped.

The Exhibition Buildings in the Carlton Gardens are amazing. They were not only the location for John Farnham’s ‘That’s Freedom’ music video, but Australia’s very first Parliament also. Presumably they are plaques commemorating both these momentous events somewhere, although I’m disappointed that there’s not a statue of John and his magnificent mid-eighties crowning glory of a

mullet in the forecourt. Perhaps it too has retired. Temporarily, of course. We arrive early and experience an immediate sensory overload. Without any explanation, we are given a copy of the Herald Sun. I’m not sure if we’re meant to lay down sheets as a precaution or roll it up as some kind of training tool if an overexcited mutt piddles on the Parliamentary floor. I ask the guy at the front and he tells me that I’m meant to read it. This would never have occurred to me. As we enter, there are people everywhere. In broad terms, the dogs are organised much like street gangs with the Bloods, Crips, Sharks and Jets all kept a healthy distance apart. The first stall belongs to Bernese Mountain Dogs. These are so gargantuan that a small child could ride one to the shops. If you gave it a hat and bow tie, it’d look a lot like Fozzie Bear. There are English Sheepdogs who seem always to be hiding behind their fringes and an Irish Wolfhound that ought to be called a ‘Werewolfhound’. In the middle on the ground floor is a small racetrack. Later, a group called ‘the Wonderdogs’ run up and down and perform tricks. I can only say that it’s a lot like the Ford Precision Driving Team, but hairier. But not all the fun was hairy. If you were so inclined, you could have your face painted. Matilda opted for ‘Chihuahua’. I, in turn, asked for Ace Frehley, which caused no end of confusion. Having had our faces transformed, we continued our search for

the perfect dog. This being the twenty first century there was, of course, a technological option. By feeding details into a computer and through the miracle of science, I would be matched to the dog breed most suited to me. Although tempted, I ultimately declined for fear that if I hit the wrong button I would instead be matched to someone on ‘Married at First Sight’. We patted every kind of mutt imaginable. We even met a Chow Chow. I don’t like anything named twice. For this you can blame Duran Duran and Mr. Mister. My niece and the dog were exactly the same height and each stared into the eyes of the other. Clearly something special was happening. And then the Chow Chow screwed up its Chow Chow face and let fly with an almighty sneeze, spraying a bucket of Chow Chow saliva all over my niece. Both looked a little shocked. I would probably have looked embarrassed were it not for my Ace Frehley make up. The owner prepared to apologise but, instead, my niece tipped back her head and laughed so uproariously that the Chow Chow hid behind its owner. And there it was – I’ve gone this long without a dog, I’ll admit I’m a little anxious. Something could go wrong. But what’s the point in worrying? I should be more like my niece. Even if I do end up with a face full of saliva, the best response is to laugh. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Music  Arts  Food BRITISH INDIA: THE LAST GANG IN TOWNS By Neil Walker QUIETLY, just quietly, British India have become one of Australia’s best bands. While they haven’t fully crossed over into the mainstream yet, relentless touring in far-flung cities and towns and the subsequent good word of mouth has earned British India a well-deserved decade-long career and counting. Many bands may pay lip service about working hard to win fans but even a quick glance at British India’s full-on tour schedule shows they mean it, man. They’ll play venues anywhere, even if it’s “not a big college town” as Polymer Records promoter extraordinaire Artie Fufkin once put it. More often than not, the four-piece from Mentone – singer and guitarist Declan Melia, guitarist Nic Wilson, bassist Will Drummond and drummer Matt O’Gorman - is out there playing live somewhere because they genuinely love it. O’Gorman told Mint Magazine it’s actually British India’s lack of mainstream success which has made the band determined to work harder than ever, even after ten years on the road. “We still like getting out of the house and touring. Speaking to a lot of bands … they say it would be good to tour less but we’ve still got the desire and the hunger. “We still feel like we’ve got a bit to prove, going out and playing. We’ve never really had that big hit. We’ve done really well and can’t complain about anything [but] we’re all still very ambitious and we’re always wanting to get to the next level.” Latest album Nothing Touches Me, their fifth, builds on the momentum of 2013’s Controller which saw songs such as Summer Forgive Me and I Can Make You Love Me playlisted by Triple M. The ‘alternative nation’ at Triple J has always supported British India since their debut single Outside 109 way back in 2005 but Triple M’s backing is a new development. Tracks on Nothing Touches Me such as the opening Spider Chords, Suddenly and Jay Walker show – music journalism cliché alert – ‘a newfound maturity’ in British India’s sound with a mellower tone in contrast to earlier thrashier punk-like efforts. All four band members write the songs and O’Gorman doesn’t reckon the band deliberately set out to make a “mellower” album. He said British India have their own studio “which is an old milk bar” and had 70 to 80 songs to pick from for Nothing Touches Me and some that didn’t make the final cut “are punk and grunge”. “When it came to picking the songs [for the album], I don’t think it was our intention to be mellower but we picked the best songs we think we had.” As for the rise in the band’s public profile, evident in the crossing over from ‘The Js to The Ms’, O’Gorman gives credit to Mushroom Records and its staff’s promotional legwork. British India released their first three albums independently on Shock Records but suffered a major blow when that label went into receivership owing the band money. “We were kind of in limbo … we recorded some demos and sent them out. Mushroom heard them and was keen to get on board. “Since we’ve been dealing with Mushroom, it’s been amazing for a band like us to have ‘the Mushroom machine’ on board for the last two albums and that’s definitely been a big reason [for more success].” The band hasn’t suffered a ‘I prefer their early stuff’ backlash from the hardcore British India faithful, according to O’Gorman. “The older fans have stuck by us which we’re

quite lucky about and thankful for,” he says. “It almost feels like we have two sets of fans. We have the first three albums fans and then the Controller and Nothing Touches Me fans. Sometimes we’ll play a couple of old songs and no-one will know them and then other times we’ll play Run The Red Light [from 2007’s Guillotine debut album] and people will go nuts.” O’Gorman says British India are still committed to the album as a concept, even with the dawn of the music streaming era with listeners able to easily cherry pick individual songs to listen to. “It’s weird how it’s all changing. We still feel pretty strongly about albums. It’s a lot different now even to when we started. You can put out a single rather than having to put out an EP. You can just literally write and record a song, send it off, get the OK from everybody and it’s out three weeks later.” Royalties from music streaming services have become a bugbear for some major artists. Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, for example, has heavily criticised the lack of money flowing into bands’ coffers. How does a band at the level of British India feel about this? “It’s not really about the royalties. The thing about Spotify is, it’s cheap and you can listen to whatever you want but it’s also great exposure to a lot of people that wouldn’t have heard your music. Bands like us, we don’t really make any money off CDs any more … live gigs are kind of our bread and butter. “If someone can get on to us through Spotify

and come to a show then that’s exposure we wouldn’t have had before. It’s kind of swings and roundabouts in that you really don’t make a lot of money off it but you get exposure from it.” From royalties to rock royalty is quite a trip. Last year, the band met The Rolling Stones when they supported The Stones at NSW’s Hunter Valley. “We got there about 3pm and were sitting in our small dressing room which was a little portable and everything around us is huge – the stage is massive, their backstage area is massive. We heard them soundchecking and thought ‘how good would it be to get out there and watch them?’”. They “snuck out” and watched The Stones up close from the front row. “It was a surreal moment - ‘Oh my god, we’re watching The Rolling Stones soundcheck right now’.” O’Morgan had heard previous bands who’d supported The Stones hadn’t had a chance to meet the legends so British India were “stoked” when The Stones stopped to say “hello” on their way to the stage on the night of the big gig. It’s been a long road on tours over the past ten years to get to where British India are at now, Stones gigs and all, and many of their early Australia music scene peers including The Vines and Jet have either fractured or fallen by the wayside. O’Gorman puts the secret of their relative longevity down to being school mates before the band existed.

“The fact it’s been the same four guys really does have a lot to do with it. You hear about bands that as soon as they lose a member … things can often go a bit pear-shaped and I think our kind of dynamic works because we all write. Everything is split four ways.” And if any of the four decided to quit? “I think everyone would call it stumps … we’re all great friends. We’ve never really had an argument before so we’re quite lucky with that as well.” UK music journalist David Hepworth has a theory that the drummer is in fact the most important member of any band and things are never as good for a group if the drummer leaves. Departures can be voluntary – think Reni of The Stone Roses or Bill Berry of REM – or involuntary - The Who’s Keith Moon and Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham spring to mind – but somehow the magic that binds a group together is gone. When this is put to O’Gorman he is reluctant to give his opinion but does declare “that’s what I’ve been saying for years”. “It’s in your hands … when the band reads the article they may look at me and think ‘Yeah, he’s alright – we can’t lose this guy. We should give him a raise’.” *British India’s latest album Nothing Touches Me is available now. The band will play live at the Pelly Bar at the Pier Hotel, 508 Nepean Hwy, Frankston on Friday 5 June, doors open 8pm, tickets from $27. See pierlive.com.au or call 03 9783 9800.

Champs vs champs: Peninsula Football League got up over Ovens & Murray Football League 11.14 (80) to 10.10 (70), a result that left Ovens & Murray player coach Brendan Fevola, above, dazed and confused. Pictures: Michael Kompa Photography

Champion team beats team of champions PENINSULA INTERLEAGUE By Toe Punt PENINSULA Football League will get another crack at Geelong Football League for the top dog title after hanging on to beat Ovens & Murray Football League in Albury on Saturday. The visitors beat their more fancied opponents for the third time in as many meetings after knocking them over at Frankston Park and Optus Oval in previous meetings. Other than trailing by two points at quarter time, Peninsula FL controlled the game for most of the match. There were some tense moments in the final quarter when Ovens & Murray made a charge in front of their home crowd. Despite the home ground advantage and AFL talent including interleague coach Brendan Fevola, Matt Prendergast and Dean Polo, Peninsula Football League was able to hang on to record an 11.14 (80) to 10.10 (70) victory. Peninsula FL set up the win with an explosive second quarter which netted 5.4 to one straight goal. The visitors coughed up a number of opportunities

in the first half and could have iced the game in the opening hour. The visitors maintained their work rate in the third quarter and were still in command at the final change 7.14 (56) to 5.5 (35). Edithvale skipper Stevey Mannix was doing the job for Peninsula FL through the middle of the ground and Langwarrin skipper Scott Sienkiewicz, who was awarded the VCFL medal for being the best player on the ground, was in and under and doing the hard things. Peninsula FL went into the match with only one ruckman, Bonbeach’s Dylan Jones. The move paid off, allowing the visitors to have some run in their legs when it mattered most late in the game. Former Richmond player and Edithvale-Aspendale star Brett O’Hanlon booted three goals for the winners while Pines’ Aaron Edwards, YCW’s Anthony Bruhn and Seaford coach Ben Crowe finished with two goals each. Crowe was even used in the ruck at times to gives Jones a spell. Warwick Miller was named vice captain of the side and he did a superb job down back, while Mornington’s

Adam Symes kept Fevola to just one goal. Pines’ gun Luke Potts had a heap of the footy through the middle of the ground and the composed Sam Gill from Mt Eliza was cool in the crisis and provided plenty of drive from half back. It was an impressive win for the Peninsula FL, who went into the game without the likes of Ash Eames, Anthony Barry, Michael Gay, Justin Van Unen, Rohan Heasley, Matthew Clark and Brent Guerra. Ovens & Murray, however, were at full strength. Last year’s O&M medal winner couldn’t make the final squad of 25. According to Ovens & Murray media man Rob McKinlay, his league picked a team that was experienced and hardened. “Before the game we said that Peninsula FL was embarrassed last season against Geelong and would be looking to send a message,” McKinlay said. “Our boys have taken a pretty relaxed approach to the match and don’t really know what to expect from the opposition,” McKinlay said before the game.

“We don’t want to lose though because that drops us back to a five/ six ranking, which means its three years before you get another chance to challenge for the number one title.” After the game, McKinlay said the loss would “smash the ego of the group”. “Fev (Brendan Fevola) said Ovens & Murray was the best league in Victoria in the lead up and now we drop back to the third tier. “He was contracted for three years by the league to take us back to number one. It will be interesting to see what happens now,” McKinlay said. Whilst Ovens & Murray players were playing golf on Friday, Peninsula FL was travelling five hours up the Hume Highway to make a statement. Before the game, Peninsula FL coach Troy Shannon said his charges hadn’t travelled the distance to embarrass themselves. “They (O&M) have picked 15 midfielders and generally a team full of talent,” Shannon said. “We have picked a team. Back pocket players in the pockets, wingers on the wing and forwards in their spots. We didn’t want a team of midfielders

playing in pockets. “We had two Mornington and two YCW players in our back six and two YCW players and two Pines players in our forward six. They play together and know what to expect. “Our preparation started in the preseason and this is the reward for effort. Geelong FL did the same last year and look what they did to us. “We were as prepared as we could be. We picked a team we were confident would be good enough to get the job done and we knew as much as we possibility could about the opposition. We knew who their good players were, their capabilities and what we needed to do to stop them. “We knew they would come home strong because of the brand of footy we played for the first three quarters, however, I was always pretty confident we would hang on. “Any win is great but against quality opposition on their own ground is always sweeter. They deserved the win. The league deserved the win,” Shannon said.

Nepean blows its chances in big showdown NEPEAN INTERLEAGUE By Toe Punt NEPEAN Football League dropped its Victoria Country Football League ranking from 13 to 12 on Saturday despite going down in a thriller to Riddell Football League at Mecedon. Wasted opportunities were the difference between the sides, Nepean FL having 31 scoring shots to just 24 but going down by three points, 15.9 (99) to 13.18 (96). The visitors dominated possession time in their forward half in the final quarter, however, could only manage 4.6 to Riddell Football League’s 3.3. Trailing by 12 points at three quarter time, the visitors quickly went three goals down in the opening minutes of the last when Jack Mills kicked the first of his two crucial last quarter goals. Nepean FL booted four of the next five goals though and hit the front through Sorrento’s Leigh Poholke at the 22-minute mark. Poholke finished with five goals, adding to the eight interleague goals he kicked last year. Sharks teammate James Hallahan, who was sensational throughout the match, had the chance to extend the

lead to a match winning eight points a short time later. Unfortunately the star midfielder sprayed the kick and it went through for a minor score. Riddell took the ball up the other end of the ground and Mills took a strong contested mark at the 24-minute back. He went back, drilled it and took back the lead for his side. The home side stacked numbers at and behind the footy in a tense final four minutes, preventing Nepean FL to penetrate its attacking zone. Rye’s Kris Bardon was awarded the VCFL medal for being the best player on the ground. Bardon kicked the opening goal of the match and added a second late in the quarter to give the visitors a four point break at the first change. However, other than squandered opportunities, Nepean lost the game in the second quarter. Riddell booted three unanswered goals in the first 14 minutes of the second quarter and finished with four of the five goals in the term. They led 8.5 (53) to 5.7 (37) at the main interval. Luke Clark, who has been in superb form for Hastings this season, was well beaten by Brett Chambers, who won the battle for four quarters. Chambers,

who has been in his side’s best in four of five matches this season, took five telling marks in the last quarter which went a long way in Riddell FL winning the game. Nathan Henley and Ryan Mullett lifted in the third quarter and helped Nepean FL draw within two points at the 13 minute mark, however, Riddell again answered with three quick goals in six minutes and pushed the margin back out to 17 points. A late goal to Poholke deep into time-on in the third gave Nepean FL a sniff in the last. Nepean FL booted 8.11 to 7.4 in the second half. It had its chances, many of them considered in footy terms as ‘sitters’. Rye skipper Adam Kirkwood was a soldier all day for Nepean FL while Rosebud teammates Rob Forrest and Tom Baker were also outstanding over four quarters. It was a game that got away for Nepean FL but - unlike regular leagues - there’s no game next week to rectify the situation. Close encounter: Nepean Football League went down to Riddell Football League by just three points. Pictures: Scott Memery

MITSUBISHI Motors new 2016 Outlander has arrived in Australia with substantial mid-life changes, marking a new era for the brand in design excellence, refinement and overall driver engagement. The new-look 2016 Outlander has been redesigned and re-engineered from nose to tail to deliver a dynamic new appearance and significantly improved performance on the road. Hot on the heels of its reveal at this month’s New York International Auto Show, the 2016 Outlander is the first Mitsubishi production vehicle to showcase the brand’s striking new “Dynamic Shield” design concept, giving the Outlander a fresh, sophisticated on-road presence. The Outlander’s bold new front design features a redesigned front and rear fascia, new front guards, LED Day Time Running Lights (DRL), silver roof rails, new design 18-inch alloy wheels and LED tail lights. Its stylish yet functional interior includes a redesigned steering wheel, new accent trim, improved seating comfort and premium finishes to give the cabin a more sophisticated feel. The 2016 Outlander delivers a smoother, more responsive on-road performance with improvements to noise levels, ride, handling and throttle response. A new generation Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT) offers improved acceleration, performance, shift feel and torque delivery. The Outlander’s ride quality and comfort have

been enhanced with increased structural rigidity in the body, revised suspension design, new Electric Power Steering calibration and reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) throughout the vehicle. The new Outlander retains its predecessor’s outstanding safety and environmental performance through the use of cutting-edge fourwheel drive, passive safety technology as well as fuel-efficient engine technology. A renamed three model structure includes the entry level LS, mid-range XLS and top-of-therange Exceed variant. Mitsubishi Motors Australia Executive Director of Marketing Tony Principe said the new-look Outlander features an unprecedented number of improvements and enhancements that will increase its overall appeal in the market. “The new 2016 Outlander demonstrates the brand’s renewed emphasis on style, refinement and driver engagement. “The changes we’ve made to the Outlander are more than skin deep. The 2016 Outlander looks, drives and feels like an entirely new vehicle making it even more compelling value than before.” “The 2016 Outlander builds on what is already a well-rounded, well-equipped package with great SUV functionality, terrific fuel economy and low running costs. Combined with Mitsubishi’s reliability and safety standards, the 2016 Outlander represents unmatched value.”
