CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a new chairlift at Arthurs Seat have been given the go ahead by Mornington Peninsula Shire after councillors narrowly voted in favour on the planning permit application.

About 60 people opposed to the $14 million Skylift gondola project gathered at Arthurs Seat the weekend before the decision was made but protest and song failed to persuade the majority of councillors to vote against the proposal.

A five-to-four vote saw the application squeak through last Monday evening (2 June).

Crs Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, David Gibb, Anne Shaw and mayor Antonella Celi backed the Skylift project. Crs Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser and Lynn Bowden opposed the planning permit application.

Cr Graham Pittock was on leave. Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin resigned late last month due to ill health.

Dozens of objectors filled the public gallery at last week’s council meeting and passions ran high as some voiced their displeasure at the prospect of the Skylift consortium’s bid to build the new chairlift becoming reality.

Save Our Seat group member Matthew Bisogni told The News that he believed the council meeting was “a waste of time”.

“Everyone knew what was going to happen and I’m angry that there’s been so little regard for Arthurs Seats residents by councillors who are supposed to represent the community,” he said.

“We would have been happy to accept a new chairlift that was the same size as the previous one, but – once again – the ‘little person’ and the residents have been screwed.”

Mr Bisogni questioned the need for the larger Skylift chairlift operation with a scope larger than the previous attraction’s footprint.

“This [Skylift] is not the same thing at all,” he said.

Seniors centre gets upgrade MEMBERS of the Sorrento/Portsea Senior Citizens Centre have received $24,000 to upgrade the centre.

The money has come through the Nepean councillors’ ward discretionary funds.

Cr Hugh Fraser said a patio with new lighting would be built, a wheelchair-friendly path laid and wiring and electrics replaced at the centre in Melbourne Rd. “The club’s vision, in conjunction with the shire, is to re-establish and recognise the value and significance of the venue. It aims to improve and develop itself as a more accessible and enjoyable space for a broader range of community events and activities,” Cr Fraser.

His ward colleague Cr Tim Rodgers said the works would help with a range of events, including theatre productions, art displays, music recitals, meetings, talks and other presentations.

“The new development will create a place where the community can get involved in a range of recreational, leisure and volunteering experiences,” he said. “It will provide an enjoyable space and a relaxed and friendly environment for the whole community to enjoy.”

Upgrade money: Nepean Ward’s Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers with president Michael Robin and committee member Denise Potter at the centre.

Land sales to finance pool complex Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE MT Martha quarry reserve is on the list of land to be sold to help pay for a swimming pool complex at Rosebud.

With no guarantees of any significant government grants Mornington Peninsula Shire is scrambling to raise money for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA), as its projected cost escalates towards $40 million.

Architectural firms Cox Architecture, Peddle Thorp, Suters Architects and Williams Ross will be asked to participate in a design competition for the foreshore aquatic centre.

The shire withdrew from a 2003 bid to rezone the quarry and several blocks of land above it after opposition from residents and rejection by a government-appointed planning panel.

The panel said the high density residential zoning sought by council was unsuitable for the “sensitive and visually prominent location”.

It is understood the shire has been told it could reap $4 million by selling the 4.6 hectare quarry reserve squeezed between Stanley Crescent

and Fairbairn Ave off the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach.

Property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods told The News last August that the shire had not yet “resolved the method of sale and is currently investigating development density before rezoning the land is considered”.

Notice of the shire’s intention to sell the quarry, the former Mornington High School site and the Mornington Youth Club in Wilsons Rd, Mornington, is revealed 235 pages in on the 2014/15 budget papers (page 74 Section D).

The budget papers say the sale of the quarry is included in the $60,000 earmarked for “property disposal”.

It is stated that: “A number of property disposals, including the Mount Martha Quarry, the former Mornington High School site and the Mornington Youth Club in Wilsons Road, will be prepared for consideration by Council,” under the heading “How will 2014/15 be different from the previous year?”.

Members of the Stanley Cres and Surrounding Streets Association want the quarry retained as open land and restored as a low-key nature reserve

Nature reserve: Mornington Peninsula Shire is being urged to retain the disused Mt Martha quarry as a low key sanctuary with wetlands for birds and frogs instead of selling it to help pay for a swimming pool complex at Rosebud.

with wetlands for birds and frogs.

Cr David Gibb, whose Seawinds ward includes the quarry, said it had been the shire’s longstanding aim to sell the quarry, although he had no idea when it would go on sale.

“It’s just sort of progressing,” he said, adding that the sale had also been

listed in the previous year’s budget.

Cr Gibb said councillors did not “micro-manage” the sale of unwanted assets once a decision had been made for their disposal.

His ward colleague Cr Graham Pittock on Friday said he “hadn’t heard a word” about the planned sale.

However, he was happy for the quarry to go “for the right purpose”.

Cr Pittock said four housing blocks owned by the shire above the quarry face had “big issues” of amenity for neighbouring property owners.

“We are desperately short of money and up to $50 million might be needed for the SPA at Rosebud,” he said.

Cr Pittock said the latest estimates of $40 million did not include “$7 million in geotechnical considerations which we were told about some years ago”.

He said land earmarked for disposal by the shire at the rear of Eastbourne Primary School in Rosebud was large enough for the aquatic centre.

Selling that open space for housing and then using the foreshore for the SPA leads to a diminution of open space.”

Looking ahead: Cr Hugh Fraser, shire engineer Chathura Gamage, infrastructure project manager Derek Rotter and Cr Tim Rodgers inspect the recently completed roundabout at the intersection of Melbourne Rd and Canterbury Jetty Rd in Blairgowrie.

Roundabout curbs Melbourne Rd dangers CONSTRUCTION of a new roundabout at one of the peninsula’s worst accident black spots has been completed in time for the busy Queen’s Birthday holiday period.

The new roundabout at the intersection of Melbourne and Canterbury Jetty roads, Blairgowrie, was officially opened last week following completion of construction work late last month.

The intersection near an industrial area has been the site of numerous accidents and traffic congestion, with vehicles previously forced to make a sharp right then left turn across busy Melbourne Rd in order to continue along Canterbury Jetty Rd. Funding for the upgrade was provided under the federal government’s National Black Spot Program following submissions from the shire council.

Nepean Ward councillor Tim Rodgers said the new roundabout would significantly reduce potential accidents and improve the “general functionality” of the intersection.

“Twelve crashes have been reported over a five-year period at this intersection, and the roundabout should contribute to reducing the likelihood of future accidents,” he said.

Fellow Nepean Ward councillor Hugh Fraser said the new roundabout had already improved traffic flow and eased congestion within the busy area.

“This is an important route for commuters, local residents and the industrial area and I join the community in welcoming the finalisation of the project and the road safety improvements it brings,” he said.

Landcare under siege as ‘army’ captures funds Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE Coalition’s Green Army has delivered a dose of “shock and awe” to Mornington Peninsula environmental conservation groups, with details in the federal budget revealing funding would be slashed.

Landcare groups have been blindsided by news they would lose $483.8 million in funding that had been earmarked for future grassroots grants, despite government promises funding would be retained.

At the same time the Abbott government’s environmental centrepiece, the Green Army, will get $525 million over four years to carry out work previously conducted by Landcare volunteers, such as cleaning up waterways, revegetation work, managing weeds and invasive pests, and protecting local heritage sites.

Landcare members slammed the cuts as a “broken promise” and said the Green Army could not replicate the work done by the skilled and dedicated volunteer community.

National Landcare Network chairman David Walker said news of the funding cuts had come as a surprise, following recent government assurances that Landcare funding would be “quarantined” from budget cuts.

He said that with no new funding available, a number of Landcare groups may be forced to shut down.

“I think devastation’s probably pretty close to it,” he said in describing the feeling among Landcare groups upon learning of the funding cuts.

“They feel as if they’ve been dumped and dumped on. Landcare activities will certainly decrease and the interest in sustainable farming practices will be reduced.”

Landcare groups will now be forced to compete to become “sponsors” to Green Army projects, with two such programs slated for Western Port and the Mornington Peninsula to commence shortly after 1 July.

The Western Port Green Army project will have four main strands: Watsons Creek rehabilitation in Baxter and Somerville; foreshore revegetation and walking track construction at Hastings, Crib Point and Somers; bandicoot habitat preservation at Bayles; and weed removal and revegetation at Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang.

The Mornington Peninsula project will focus on Mount Martha-Balcombe Creek nature trail habitat enhancement, Southern Peninsula Foreshore and creek rejuvenation, Red Hill South biolink and community reserve creation, and a “war on weeds.

Environmental custodians: Members of the Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network steering committee, which was formed in April to create a coordinating body to oversee region-wide conservation projects.

Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network secretary Bernie Schedvin said much confusion remained over how the Green Army scheme would be funded and administered.

She said there was added uncertainly over occupational health and safety requirements and workplace insurance coverage for groups overseeing unskilled Green Army participants.

“There are a lot of questions that need to be answered,” she said. “We really don’t know how the new arrangement is going to work or how it will be funded. But any funding cuts will certainly leave us in a very difficult situation.”

However, Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network president David Maddocks welcomed the announcement the region would be among the first in Australia to benefit from Green Army projects.

“The Green Army has been allocated a certain amount of money for peninsula projects and we have an application in place to host those projects,” he said. “That will hopefully mean our Landcare activities will be supported

by Green Army teams, which is a favourable outcome for the Mornington Peninsula.”

Mr Maddocks said ongoing funding arrangements for Landcare projects on the peninsula remained unclear.

“It would be disappointing if there are cuts but I’m yet to see the details.”

Legislation to enact the Green Army program was passed by the House of Representatives two weeks ago, and will be debated in the Senate within the next fortnight. Should the legisla-

tion be passed, as is widely expected, projects will begin in early July.

A national Green Army facilitator – which will act much like a job placement agency to recruit and manage participants – is also expected to be announced within weeks, along with the appointment of qualified regional coordinators. Recruits will operate in teams of ten overseen by a team leader and will work with local “sponsors” such as councils, Landcare and conservation groups.

‘

I have serious concerns that these cuts will have a devastating effect on the Landcare movement, and the ability of groups around the country to continue operating, including their ability to participate in the Green Army program.

’

– Senator Rachel Siewert Environment Minister and member for Flinders Greg Hunt said the federal budget had provided $1 billion funding for a new National Landcare Program, which was an amalgamation of the former Landcare program that delivered funding to grassroots community and volunteer groups, and Caring For Our Country, which delivered on the Commonwealth’s national sustainability priorities.

“The Green Army represents enormous opportunity for local environment and Landcare groups,” Mr Hunt said. “The Green Army will generate

real benefits for the Australian environment and give young Australian aged 17-24 the opportunity to gain training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation projects.”

He said the Green Army was a “key Coalition election commitment” and would support “practical, grassroots environment and heritage conservation projects” across urban, regional and remote Australia.

“From July this year, 250 Green Army projects will be established, providing employment and training to around 2500 participants. The Green Army will become Australia’s largestever team supporting environmental action across the country, building to 15,000 young Australians by 2018.”

Participants in the program, to be recruited from the ranks of young unemployed people, will be eligible to receive an allowance that will be higher than Newstart or the Youth Allowance but well below the minimum award wage.

The will also have the opportunity to gain certificate I or certificate II qualifications in areas such as land management, park management, landscaping or horticulture, Mr Hunt said.

“It is important to note, the Green Army is not a work for the dole program; it is a voluntary program for young people 17-24 to gain training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation fields and explore careers in conservation management,” he said.

However, in a Senate Estimates meeting last week looking into the details on the proposed legislation, a

Department of Agriculture spokesman confirmed there would be no new allocations of direct funding for community Landcare groups.

Responding to questions from Greens Senator Rachel Siewert, the spokesman confirmed that while “natural resource management bodies” would receive funding, Landcare groups would miss out.

“There is no money for activities beyond those which are already contracted or committed... other than through regional bodies,” he said.

Senator Siewert replied that she was “stunned that there’s no money for actual Landcare projects”.

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce, whose department has joint oversight of the Caring for Country and Landcare programs alongside Mr Hunt’s department, recently assured Landcare Network representatives that the organisation’s funding was safe from budget cuts or reallocation.

“Minister Joyce has reaffirmed the Coalition’s pre-election commitment that the full Caring for Country and Landcare budgets will be maintained into the new National Landcare Program,” Mr Walker said following the meeting last month.

But Mr Joyce has now acknowledged Landcare groups are entitled to feel disappointed at the budget cuts, while vowing to ensure the Green Army project picked up the slack.

“What we’ve got to do is incorporate the Green Army into the Landcare process and have Landcare utilising the Green Army funds and resources as a mechanism to make up for what I acknowledge is a loss of funding in future projects,” he said.

Senator Siewert said the Landcare community had taken the government’s word that funding would be maintained at face value.

“They took this to mean on-theground Landcare funding,” she said.

“I have serious concerns that these cuts will have a devastating effect on the Landcare movement, and the ability of groups around the country to continue operating, including their ability to participate in the Green Army program.”

Shadow Environment Minister Mark Butler was even more scathing.

“Tony Abbott’s destruction of Australia’s environment protection system ruins any chance Australia has to prepare for the environmental challenges of the future,” Mr Butler said.

“This Budget takes the Abbott Government’s assault on the environment and climate to a new level, and shows a disdain for science and research that threatens decades of investment and innovation.”

Chairlift protest: Objectors to the proposed Skylift chairlift gathered at Arthurs Seat (left) the weekend before Mornington Peninsula Shire approved a planning permit application for the project proposed by a consortium headed by Simon McKeon (above). The previous chairlift now lies in broken pieces at Mt Martha (below).

Skylift gets OK from council Continued from Page 1 “If people don’t wake up and realise this now then by the time it’s built it will be too late.”

He said objectors were now assessing their legal options and may launch an appeal against council’s decision that could be heard at VCAT. Arthurs Seat SkyLift Pty Ltd head Simon McKeon acknowledged the chairlift application process was not over when he spoke to The News.

“It’s taken six or seven years to get to this point and the vote at council was another stage in the process,” he said.

“The big thing that I was really happy about was seeing the comprehensive report prepared by council officers

and other experts.”

Mr McKeon, a Macquarie Bank investment banker and 2011 Australian of the Year for his philanthropic work, said he had never “hidden the fact this [Skylift] will have an effect on residents” but he hoped – in time – they would respect “the overall outcome”.

“So many people were very saddened when the original chairlift had to shut down and yet there were objections to that project when it was first suggested back in the 1950s.”

He said the consortium had worked with Parks Victoria to ensure the Skylift caused as little disruption to native flora and fauna as possible.

“We’ve always done the right thing –

we’ve listened to community concerns and we’ve designed the gondola ride so it’s accessible to elderly and disabled passengers.”

Mr McKeon said the Skylift project had been scaled back from its original design and this made it a less lucrative proposition for the consortium.

“People say I’ll lose money on this and they may be right, but I hope I don’t,” he said.

Asked whether he had ever considered walking away from the Skylift project, Mr McKeon said he thought about doing so “every day” but said he was determined to bring “a muchmissed tourist attraction back to the peninsula”.

Taking in the good life on horseback Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE fresh country air, the stillness of the bush, the rural sights and sounds only those who are part of the natural environment can appreciate. Welcome to the world enjoyed by members of the Peninsula All Trails Horse Riders Association.

It’s been a wonderful ride for long time members who share their equine passion on Sundays and on weekendlong trail rides all over the peninsula and further afield to rural hamlets such as Licola-Heyfield, Labertouche, Lake Glenmaggie, the Foster trail to Fish Creek and Tynong.

With about 35 members there’s always someone to ride with and most trail rides attract 18-20 members. Under president Rose Pignataro the club

celebrated its 40th birthday in March with a ride at Marysville and the future seems steady under their feet.

Begun in 1974 by Ann Alexander – who advertised for enthusiasts interested in riding on the peninsula on Sundays, it attracted early members Derry Francis and Stewart Watt. Numbers grew to 12-18 regular weekend riders and, towards the end of the 1980s, popular events such as those at the Tooradin Estate attracted upwards of 60 riders.

Members have a week away each year – often camping out or staying in huts in the high country - and regular weekend rides capped off with barbecues and get togethers. Life was good.

As current secretary Anne-Marie Alderson – who joined in 1998: “The mind boggles” at this huge number of riders as, disappointingly, membership

gradually began to fall away so that, by the 1999 annual general meeting – when Judy Turner was secretary - only four members turned up. Morale was low and there was talk of winding up the club but Ms Alderson put her foot down: “I just started!” she told them.

Gradually, things began to turn around and eight new members joined that year with Ms Alderson as president and Ms Turner staying on as secretary.

Members applied themselves to boosting numbers with posters and flyers and had 30 members by 2000, including John Allnut from Pearcedale, Jenny Low from Baxter, Fay Ryan, farrier Geoff McMillan and Denis Roberts and, “doing what our forefathers had done before us” added Lang Lang, The Gurdies, Grantville, Corinella Beach, and the Anderson/ Wonthaggi rail trail to their horizons.

great group will stand up and not let numbers dwindle away as they did in ‘98/99.”

She thanked Marysville committee members Sylvia Parker, Rose Pignataro, Lisa English, Sharon Mawby and Dean Johnson.

Based at 122 Sandy Point Rd, Balnarring, the club is affiliated with the Australian Trail Horse Riders Association and is open to all who like to ride.

Members need their own horse and float for travelling to venues on the Peninsula and further afield. Weekend rides offer comfortable accommodation and safe penning for the horses.

Rides are on the first Sunday of the month except January, with the length depending on the leader and the weather. They range from two to four hours. Membership is $80 a year ($20 membership and $60 insurance).

“It has to be the best club,” Ms Alderson said.

Members voted to admit children in 2011 so families could ride together and ensure growth in numbers. The name was changed to Peninsula All Trails Horse Riders Association and a new era began.

Last year Dorothy Forrest suggested members wear club vests and these, with new caps, include a logo depicting a horse head on a map of the peninsula.

“We often talk to each other and agree that we have a great group of people in this club,” Ms Alderson told members at the 40th celebrations. “We have been to so many places and still have so many places to go and share with each other.

Southern Peninsula News 10 June 2014

Deadly house fires spark CFA warning Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE Country Fire Authority has warned Mornington Peninsula residents of the heightened dangers of house fires during the cooler months following a spate of deadly blazes across Melbourne’s south-east.

There have been four fatal house fires so far this year compared to just two at the same time last year in the CFA’s District 8 region, which takes in the peninsula, Frankston and Melbourne’s bayside suburbs.

CFA District 8 operations manager Trevor Owen said that while the coroner was still examining the causes of the deadly fires, residents need to be vigilant of potential fire hazards.

“Tragically four people have lost their lives and many more have been injured in home fires this year,” he said. “We are extremely concerned about these figures especially as the danger period, winter, is only just beginning.”

In just five months from 1 January to 31 May, 70 residential fires have been attended by CFA District 8 fire crews.

There have now been more fatalities from house fires across Victoria since the start of the year than for the whole of 2013, with 10 deaths so far in 2014 compared to eight deaths in 2013.

The single biggest cause of house fires was leaving items such as electrical appliances, candles or cooking unattended, Mr Owen said.

A working fire alarm was the single most important element in saving lives, he added.

“Don’t forget to check on older relatives, neighbours, or friends who may need help checking their smoke alarm or developing an escape plan,” Mr Owen said.

As temperatures continue to drop, more people will be firing up their wood heaters, using clothes dryers and turning on electric blankets to stay warm, he said.

“There are simple steps people can take to

protect themselves to avoid a tragedy. These include making sure heaters are properly checked and maintained, chimneys are cleaned, and power boards are not overloaded.

“Ensure your home has a working smoke alarm, keep your clothing at least a metre away from heaters, and never smoke in bed.”

Another danger area is the kitchen. Of the 1897 residential fires in regional Victoria last year, 37 per cent started in the kitchen.

“Never leave your cooking unattended and keep electrical appliances in good working order,” Mr Owen said.

“The most important message this winter is to take action – it’s simple and can save your life.”

An elderly Rosebud woman was lucky not to have been added to the toll after being rescued by an 88 year-old neighbour when fire engulfed her home.

Firefighters praised the actions of the elderly

man who helped rescue his 77-year-old neighbour from her Fourth Ave bungalow.

Five CFA trucks were called to the one-bedroom dwelling just before 9pm on 7 May. District 8 Operations Officer Paul Carrigg said the bungalow was extensively damaged by the fire and the woman was lucky to have escaped.

“There’s no doubt that the quick action of the man to alert his neighbour may have saved her life and prevented her from injury,” he said.

The 88-year-old man was treated at the scene by paramedics and the 77-year-old woman was taken to hospital for observation.

The cause of the fire is being investigated but it’s believed to have started in the bedroom area.

“This is timely reminder ahead of the winter period for all Victorians to ensure their heaters and electrical appliances are all serviced regularly and checked for safety, and candles should never be left unsupervised,” Mr Carrigg said.

OBITUARIES

Friend of the environment dies at 76 VETERAN environmentalist, racing fan, cricket aficionado and shire gadfly Roger Lambert lost his feisty encounter with cancer on Friday 23 May. As with all things in his eventful life, he did not succumb meekly. Nor did his many friends expect him to.

Roger Edward Lambert was born on 23 August 1938 and educated at Bromley Grammar School at Southgate in Middlesex, then took a degree in geology at Bristol University. He and Lesley married in April 1967.

Their daughter, Gemma, was born in 1975. They arrived in Australia in late 1978.

Mr Lambert plunged into Mornington Peninsula life with gusto, joining the Mornington Environmental Association, the Emu Plains Recreation Reserve Committee and the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers' and Residents' Association. He was a devil with the pruning shears when confronted by pittosporum that needed shortening.

Mornington Environment Association president Jan Oliver said her group would drink to Mr Lambert’s passing at its next meeting and may well seek approval from Lesley Lambert and daughter Gemma to place a memorial to Roger on the track to Red Bluff, Mornington or along Tanti Creek, where he worked regularly.

“Roger was an active, participatory member of Mornington Environment Association and of two of our Friends groups – Tanti Creek and Mills

Community loses long time supporter

Roger Lambert

Beach,” Ms Oliver said.

“He liked nothing better than attacking weedy pittosporum or mirror bush but would always rush off from working bees on a Sunday morning so that he didn’t miss his wife’s Sunday roast.”

He found his love of racing and horses well catered for in Australia, through membership of the Mornington and Balnarring courses. He travelled widely to follow the fortunes of horses in which he had a financial interest.

Mr Lambert, a regular attendee – and interjector – at council meetings, was not averse to taking jabs at officers and councillors alike. In January 2012 he lodged this question:

“Is the CEO able to inform ratepayers which episodes of ‘Yes Minister’ and ‘Yes Prime Minister’ he has declared mandatory viewing for those of his officers undergoing training courses?”

His questions more often reflected his concerns that rate rises were penalising those on low incomes; that environment protection must always be a high shire priority; and that the shire's boast of openness and transparency was more words than actions.

He was also a regular letter writer to local paper editors on such topics.

He recently stood for council in Briars ward, coming close to winning a place. He will be missed.

KEN Cameron, widely known for his community work and menswear retail businesses, has died aged 85.

Mr Cameron, who would have turned 86 next month, had undergone a double bypass heart operation six weeks before his death at his Mornington home on Tuesday 3 June.

He is survived by his wife Beryl, children Jenny, Leanne and John, five grandchildren and one great grandchild.

His son John said his father was able to “achieve his aim” of attending the wedding of his granddaughter Jane two weeks before he died.

A Frankston councillor for four and a half years, Mr Cameron was a long term member of several Rotary clubs, a district commissioner for scouting for 25 years (having joined the Cubs in 1935), a Mason for 60 years, a life member of Frankston Hospital and several other organisation as well as having coached junior footballers at Frankston.

Mr Cameron was awarded an MBE for his community service.

“I am only now grasping the full depth of his community service,” John Cameron said. “Community charity, sport and family were his whole life.”

Born and bred in Frankston, Mr Cameron started his retail life running the family’s first menswear store

Ken Cameron

from a shop in Young St, which was opened in the late 1940s as a grocery store by his father, John.

The family turned to clothing in 1957 after the opening of the first Safeway supermarket.

At one stage J Cameron and Sons operated six shops spread across Frankston, Cranbourne and Mornington.

Cameron’s Menswear Town & Country still operates in Main St, Mornington.

A funeral for Ken Cameron will be held this week at the Uniting Church, Mt Martha.

Opportunity knocks for hospital appeal THE devoted volunteers at the Rye Opportunity Shop love a challenge, especially when it comes to raising much-needed funds for Rosebud Hospital.

The hard-working team behind the popular op shop never fail to deliver when the call goes out for fundraising efforts to ensure peninsula residents have access to the very best life-saving facilities.

So when the Rosebud Hospital Appeal last year set a target of $1.75 million for a new cancer treatment facility, officials knew they could count on a generous contribution from the op shop, which operates on behalf of the Southern Peninsula Community Fund.

But no one was quite prepared for the enormity of the op shop’s contribution to the appeal, with the fund last week handing over a cheque for $500,000.

The “enormous” contribution took the Rosebud Hospital Appeal total to $1.5 million, with only $250,000 now needed to reach the target.

The money will be used to purchase a new CT scanner and medical imaging area.

The Southern Peninsula Community Fund has been a long-time supporter of Rosebud Hospital donating nearly $1 million over the years.

It has previously donated $250,000 towards Rosebud Hospital’s chemotherapy day unit, as well as a number of other financial contributions to ensure the hospital is able to offer the best possible facilities for the peninsula community.

Fund president Graham Fitzgerald said it had been an “enormous com-

Tending the roses MORNINGTON Botanical Rose Garden volunteers will wield their secateurs in earnest at a pruning event on the weekend of 12 and 13 July.

They will be assisted by members of the Victorian Rose Society and volunteers from the Morwell Centenary Rose Garden. Experts will give free pruning demonstrations at 11am and 2pm both days.

Committee member Graham Dent said volunteers worked as a group on Mondays and Tuesdays and other days individually once they had attained enough knowledge to be able to correctly attend the roses.

New volunteers are welcome to join the group to maintain more than 4000 roses.

The gardens - in Civic Reserve, Dunns Rd on the corner of Tyabb Rd - are open all hours for people to enjoy the environment. Details: 5976 1615.

munity effort to raise this amount of money for the Rosebud Hospital Appeal and we are very proud to be part of this huge undertaking”.

Peninsula Health CEO Jan Child said the Southern Peninsula Community Fund’s generous donations over the past decade “have contributed greatly to the services at Rosebud Hospital”.

“This latest contribution brings the Rosebud Hospital Appeal to a total of $1.5 million. This means that we are extremely close to are target and

can begin to start developing the new medical imaging area.”

She said the new medical imaging area was a major addition to the emergency services available at the hospital and would allow more people to be treated more quickly and closer to home.

“Over 1,000 patients a year require either a CT scan or an ultrasound at Rosebud Hospital,” she said.

“Currently all of these patients have to be transferred to another site in Rosebud or to Frankston. In many

cases, patients then return to Rosebud Hospital for ongoing care,” Ms Child said.

Rosebud Hospital is the primary source of medical care for the Southern Peninsula and the thousands of holiday makers that visit the peninsula every year, she said.

Information on how to donate to the Rosebud Hospital Appeal can be found by calling 9788 1502 or by visiting www.peninsulahealth.org.au, or by in person at Rosebud Hospital.

THE state government is being asked to climb aboard a plan to electrify the railway line to Hastings between Frankston and Baxter.

Frankston Council says benefits include being able to stable on the line overnight instead of blocking a third line from Frankston to the city and letting commuters from the peninsula park their vehicles and board at Baxter.

The council wants up to $1 million to help prepare a business case for the estimated $40 million project.

The council is looking for a state government commitment to the project in which the third line running north to the city would be used by express services.

CELSIUS

SALE Home base: Francis lawrence with the class of 2014 at Peninsula School of Dance. Picture: Yanni

Dancer shares his journey Continued from Page 1 Lawrence kept in contact with Ms Gard, and last week visited her dance school in Merino St to talk to young students and especially the classical male dancers.

“The kids had an absolute ball with Francis,” she said.

“He chatted about his experiences as a dancer and how hard it was to make it … the dedication required … getting up early for eight hours’ tuition and then going to the gym afterwards – but not to give up.”

Lawrence, 27, told them he wanted to continue at the Dance Theatre of Harlem for a few years but might then consider roles in musical theatre

as a way of lengthening his career: “Dancing is heavy on the body”, Ms Gard said later.

With 300 students on her books, Ms Gard is aware that another success may be just around the corner – but it takes more than luck.

“One of my goals as the director of a local dance studio is to ensure our students have access to opportunities that extend and nurture their interest in dance and the arts in general,” she said.

“Having Francis visit our studios to share his knowledge and experiences as a seasoned professional dancer is so inspiring for our students, especially our young male dancers.”

Police gain powers to ban unruly Mornington visitors Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Police now have more options to deal with troublemakers, after most of the Mornington CBD was declared a designated area by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation.

The order took effect on 22 May after police made a submission to the VCGLR. Police will be able to ban people from the designated area, or all licensed premises within the area for up to 72 hours.

Police will also be able to apply for an exclusion order against people convicted of certain offences committed within the designated area with these exclusion orders lasting for up to 12 months.

The area surrounds Main St and includes Mothers Beach and Drake St to the north, all of Schnapper Point, Royal Beach and King St to the south and Cromwell St to the east.

Mornington Senior Sergeant Ron Barbary said the order would be a key tool in effectively reducing and preventing alcohol-related violence or disorder in the area. “We actively target and do not tolerate behavioural offences in our local area, including removing drunks off the street and issuing infringement notices,” he said.

“This police activity is having a positive impact, but does not prevent these sorts of people from returning and causing more trouble.

“This order takes it to another level and will help create a safer environment for everyone. The operators of our licensed venues will be advised of people subject to a banning notice or exclusion order and we are working with council to install new CCTV cameras in the area.

“So if you come into Mornington in contravention of a banning notice or exclusion order, police will find you.”

VCGLR Acting CEO Catherine Myers said designating an area meant patrons can enjoy the area’s nightlife in safety and licensees can better manage their venues.

“There are 18 designated areas across Victoria

which greatly assist police to address alcohol-related violence,” Ms Myers said.

“Rather than wait for something serious to happen, banning notices can be used to defuse situations and remove troublemakers from harmful situations.”

Other designated areas throughout the state include Ballarat, Bendigo, Dandenong, Frankston, Geelong, Traralgon, Shepparton, Warrnambool and the entertainment hubs in Melbourne CBD, Fitzroy, Knox, Prahran, St Kilda, and South Yarra.

CCTV surveillance of Mornington’s Main St precinct and Mt Eliza village has been one of the top priorities for police, the council and state and federal governments for some time.

Dunkley MP Bruce Billson unveiled funding of $759,000 to make entertainment and shopping precincts of Mornington and Mt Eliza safer. Under the plan, CCTV networks would be extended, communications links back to local police stations improved and street lighting upgraded, while “new support” to tackle graffiti and vandalism hotspots would also be provided.

Mornington’s Main St was a top priority for upgraded CCTV coverage and better lighting following repeated instances of public violence and vandalism around the town’s busy late night entertainment precinct, including the “vicious” assault of three security guards at the notorious Main St taxi rank last month.

Mr Billson said that, had the Coalition’s plan been in place at the time, police would have been able to identify the perpetrators of the attack, as well as those responsible for numerous other incidents of violence, vandalism and public disorder that continue to mar areas around popular late night Main St establishments.

“We live, work and recreate in Dunkley’s terrific local communities but it is unacceptable for just a few to ruin the appeal of our favourite spaces,” Mr Billson said.

Mornington shire director of sustainable infrastructure Alex Atkins said the council was placing a particular focus on the ongoing maintenance costs.

A week is a long time in council David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au AN EXTRAORDINARY thing happened at last Monday’s Development Assessments Committee meeting. Apart from approving the proposed Arthurs Seat Skylift proposal, councillors voted unanimously to approve another matter, which the previous week they had unceremoniously thrown out.

Or did they approve something significantly, or even slightly, different? It seems not.

Here is the 26 May Notice of Motion from Cr Tim Rodgers (Nepean ward), which got the thumbs-down: “That the matter of Planning Application number P13/1830, in respect to Lot 5, 3080 Point Nepean Road, Sorrento be heard and determined

by Council and not under delegation by Council officers and on a date to be fixed by Council.”

And the 2 June motion from Cr Hugh Fraser (Nepean ward), which was unanimously approved: “That the matter of Planning Application number P13/1830, in respect to Lot 5, 3080 Point Nepean Road, Sorrento be heard and determined ...” and so on.

The motions appear to be identical. Why then was the first defeated and the second approved?

How could it be that the two councillors' summaries supporting their motions, also identical, be repugnant and illogical to some councillors one week and find favour with them seven days later?

Here is part of the argument put at both meetings: “The property, the subject of this planning application to council, is on the shore of Port Phillip Bay, and is part of the significant heritage site of the 1803 Collins First Settlement of Port Phillip, requiring consideration of any treatment in respect of both the sensitive environment of the eroding cliff face and consideration of the public viewing across it from the neighbouring Parks Victoria's lookout towards the Western Sister and beach and waters of Sullivan Bay.” This is indeed a significant historical site – the spot where Victoria's European occupation began – worthy of, if you like, gaining the official ceremonial imprimatur of elected councillors representing the community rather than being just another piece of paper passing anonymously over a council officer's desk.

Cr Rodgers had argued this in the chamber. He was rebuffed with windy arguments, some containing minute particles of logic. He was finally shouted down and threatened when he tried to inform the chamber that it had been misled on a significant fact. A point of order overruled without being heard? What are we coming to?

Then, a week later, Cr Fraser moved the same motion. Cr Rodgers seconded it. For? Against?

Passed unanimously!

Some councillors – namely Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, David Gibb and mayor Antonella Celi – might have felt a mite foolish for approving what was anathema to them just a week earlier. Cr Celi perhaps doubly so: she had used her casting vote to defeat the Rodgers motion when the chamber was tied four-all.

What is happening here? It appears the Gibb faction, now minus Frank Martin, who resigned recently leaving the chamber locked at five-all, is inclined to vote down any move originated by their opponents (councillors Rodgers, Fraser, Lynn Bowden, Bev Colomb and Graham Pit-

tock), no matter what the logic or validity of the position they are opposing.

Those who monitor council fervently hope it has not descended to this; they hope that the craziness of the 26 May meeting will not recur.

Important, serious matters are looming that need better than blind knee-jerk responses from the suddenly disempowered Gibb-Shaw faction.

Behind the scenes is furious manoeuvring for the Red Hill ward Mr Martin recently vacated.

Whichever side wins will be the majority on two key votes – whether to reappoint chief executive officer Michael Kennedy for a fifth time or advertise his job; and what policy to adopt on that hoary old amphibious elephant, the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

It appears the Red Hill ward election will be held on 23 August. Before that, council could well decide what to do about Dr Kennedy's job and whether to do it while Red Hill ward residents are effectively disenfranchised. (Disclosure: this writer is a Red Hill ward resident.)

Here is a thought: councillors could bring forward their decision on the CEO's job, deciding to advertise the position in the absence of a full complement of councillors. Dr Kennedy could then re-apply for his job and, if councillors, including the newly elected one, regard him as the best applicant, he will be reappointed.

It can be argued with considerable force that to reappoint the CEO in a “hung” chamber, where his future is dependent on the mayor's casting vote, would taint all concerned.

It is a fine dilemma for some councillors normally aligned with the Gibb faction, two of whom (Dixon and Garnock) are part of the 2012 intake. Are they independent thinkers, or will they follow the leaders, as apparently they did in voting against Tim Rodgers' motion on 26 May? Watch this space.

Short film awards to put heritage into focus PENINSULA students are being asked to unleash their creative talents by producing micromovies celebrating the history of the region’s most important heritage sites.

Students are being invited to submit a twominute movie clip on one of six nominated peninsula heritage sites as part of the 2014 National Trust Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards.

Mornington Peninsula National Trust president Judy Walsh said the scheme was the first time the student heritage award had been opened, with peninsula residents or students under the age of 18 eligible to enter.

“We recognise that young people are very adept at using this medium in really creative ways and are very excited by this new element of the heritage awards,” she said.

The sites selected for short film entries are: Mornington’s old courthouse; Dromana Pier; the John Coleman statue at Hastings; St James The Less Anglican Chapel at Mount Eliza; The memorial at Flinders acknowledging the discovery of Western Port; and Watts Cottage, Sorrento.

Entries must be submitted by 18 July.

The main section of the 2014 Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards will be judged on categories for restoration, creative re-use, new work or development, sustainability, professional and trades skills.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi said there were currently more than 300 places of heritage significance listed on the Heritage Overlay in the shire’s planning scheme.

“In addition, there are several heritage precincts listed on the Heritage Overlay, with the most extensive being the Sorrento Historic Precinct, and more than 70 local heritage places on the Victorian Heritage Register,” she said.

Roller blind products have been around for many years. A roller blind assists with heat loss and heat gain. If a roller blind is installed on the face of the window, this will effectively stop approximately 10% of heat loss and heat gain. If it is installed in the recess of the window, with a pelmet, this will effectively stop approximately 20% of heat loss and heat gain. In addition to roller blinds, curtains are still the most effective product reducing heat loss and heat gain by 60%.

Roller blinds are products used in all types of buildings, from offices to modern or traditional homes.

WHAT’S NEW

Walking the talk at Penbank

By Paul Thompson - Principal EXCURSIONS are great. You learn so much.

And if you are adventurous, like explorers, excursions in schools can become expeditions. That is what has happened at Penbank School in Moorooduc.

Wugubank is Penbank’s annual expedition. It is the Wugularr School, a remote school in the Northern Territory and the Penbank Mob taking a journey each year to each other’s place. In 2009 Penbank and Wugularr developed this amazing partnership predominantly involving students in Year 5 & 6. In preparation for these expeditions, the children know they are going to meet new people and make new friends. They also know they are going to make new discoveries and visit new places, just as explorers do. These expeditions are amazing adventures. So much is learnt and discovered about their very different worlds.

Words that describe these experiences such as exciting, challenging, exhilarating, amazing and beautiful come to mind when watching the children in their work and play.

As the schools journey together they know to

walk softly on the land and appreciate the beauty of the surrounds of each other’s environments.

They learn about each other through their languages, stories and schoolwork. They teach each other all sorts of things. There are constant smiles on faces, as the children are so happy to see each other. They freely laugh because they have so much fun and love to share jokes. They dance, sing, play sport; they walk, they talk!

These Wagubank expeditions are amazing journeys. With our feet we run, jump; we walk. And as we walk, we talk. And with our hands we show that we are friends because it is through our hands that we give and share. And mostly the children are arm in arm or holding hands because they are great friends.

Wagubank at Penbank is held during National Reconciliation Week. This year’s theme, ‘Lets’s Walk the Talk’ absolutely reflects the work that enables these two school communities to meet each year.

The Penbank School family truly understands that reconciliation is a work in progress.

The Journey continues – Let’s Walk the Talk!

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Group forms for the purpose of the advancement of Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough MEMBERS of the Frankston Choral Society are notified that the next rehearsal will be held on Wednesday, 17th June instead of Monday. *** RUMOUR has it that a local company proposes to open a skating rink at Frankston, and are now negotiating for suitable premises for the venture. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott & Co. will hold their next monthly market at Bittern on Monday next, 15th June, when a good yarding of stock will be brought forward. *** AN auction sale of freehold property, furniture, etc., will be, held at “Kananook“ Melbourne Road Frankston, by Messrs Brody and Mason on Wednesday 24th June, at 2 o’clock.

Full particulars are advertised. *** RATEPAYERS are complaining bitterly of the impassable state of the roads between Bittern and Merricks, due to the operations of the Main Roads Board. They consider it unwise to let such contracts in the depth of winter. Three miles of road is being constructed at a cost of £7750. *** MR Jones has disposed of almost all the blocks in the Saltaire Estate, Mornington, at satisfactory prices, and has now purchased from Mr J. D. Grover that piece of land known as the golf links, on the the Tanti Road, at £25 per acre, which will also be cut up into building allotments. ***

ON Wednesday afternoon last a double wedding took place at Mornington. The contracting parties were Mr A. Bidgood to Miss Ivy Wrigleworth, and Mr W. Coxhell to Miss E. Bidgood. The ceremony was performed by the Rev Mr Carson, of Mornington. *** AT the committee meeting of the Mornington Racing Club, held last Saturday night, it was decided, by a small majority, to recommend to the general meeting (which is to be held on the 20th inst), the purchasing of Mr Richardson’s paddock of 70 acres at £19 per acre. *** PATRONS of the Frankston Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. have now five modern motor cars at their command.

During last week Messrs Campbell and Ritchie two of the directors of the Coy., visited Mornington with a view of opening a branch garage in our neighboring town, and we learn that cars are to be stationed at Mornington in the near future. *** LAST week Messrs Brody and Mason sold in one parcel, the whole of Newman’s subdivision near the Frankston State School to Major C. W. Campbell and Messrs H. Masterton, and J. B. Jolly in partnership. These allotments have frontages to Davey and Park Streets, and we understand the purchasers propose to build a residential cottage on each allotment before the coming summer. *** IN our advertising columns a public meeting of the Frankston Progress League is called for Wednesday even-

Southern Peninsula News 10 June 2014

ing. As this is the third meeting that has been called, it behoves residents who desire Frankston to awake from its Rip Van Winkle state, to attend in force, so that a live body, that can and will look after the interests of the town, may be formed, and the league be put on a proper footing. There are dozens of ways in which such a body could work for the advancement of the town, and we hope to see a record crowd at the hall on Wednesday evening. *** MR James Westley, as executor of Mr Charles Wright, has forwarded to the undermentioned charities as beneficiaries under the will of deceased the following amounts:- Half-yearly instalments: Melbourne Hospital, £49 19s 9d; Alfred Hospital, £48 11s 7d; Homeopathic Hospital, £19; Poor of Mornington. £50; Poor Boxes at Melbourne City Court, South Melbourne Court, Collingwood Court, and Fitzroy Court, £5 each. Quarterly Instalments of £45 each: Melbourne Benevolent Asylum, Children’s Hospital, Austin Hospital, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and Blind Asylum. *** AT FRANKSTON: The holiday on Monday last, in honor of the King’s birthday, passed off quietly at Frankston where the only attraction was a football match between the Prahan juniors and the locals. The visiting team proved far too strong for the Frankston combination, which was defeated rather easily. *** AT MORNINGTON: King’s birthday celebrations were entered into with great enthusiasm at Mornington on

Monday last, when a great number of private residences and business places were decorated with flags and bunting and at various points along Main Street, streamers extended across the roadway to the opposite buildings, and the whole town presented a very attractive appearance.

The weather was delightful, and the influx of visitors from the surrounding districts eclipsed that of previous years.

Shortly after 12 o’clock the children from the various schools assembled at the local state school, and headed by the Frankston brass band marched through the streets to the Park where a very interesting and enjoyable sports programme was carried out.

During the afternoon patriotic addresses were delivered by the Revs.

Sandiford, Butler, and Carson.

The principle feature of the day was the procession and fancy dress football match, arranged by the Mornington Football Club for which three prizes were given, Messrs M. Garlick and J. Gibson secured the prize for the most original character, which represented “The Mornington Fire Brigade”.

The turnout was very good, the hose & reel being drawn by a smart pony and was nicely decorated. The firemen did good work in extinguishing the flame of a (dummy) man’s clothing which was on fire and the “news boy” (Mr F Bergland) who was on crutches selling the “Herald Extraordinary” and giving a full account of the fire, and the great loss of life, was awarded a prize for the best sustained character.

The other prize was awarded to Mr L. Harrison jnr., who was attired as

“Johnny Walker,” and was just the thing, treating his friends to a toothful. During the afternoon everyone on the ground partook of afternoon tea, and the days proceedings terminated with a picture show in the evening. *** TYABB: It is with deep regret that we received the news that our local Station Master is to be transferred, but at the same time we are glad to learn that the removal means promotion.

I take this opportunity, on behalf of the residents of the district, of wishing Mr and Mrs Truswell every prosperity in the future, and trust that at their future residence they will be held in the high esteem which they deserve.

We understand that our new station master will be Mr Gloster, of Chelsea, but at the present time it is not definitely decided when the change will take place. *** FOOTBALL: Mornington v Dromana: The above teams met at Mornington on Saturday last. The weather was fine, and a fair number of lovers of the game assembled to witness the match. Though in most quarters a win for the home team was expected, it was not anticipated that they would gain such a runaway victory. The game needs little description, as from the first bounce the visitors were out classed, and Mornington ran out winners by an overwhelming majority.

HISTORY

In search of the origins of peninsula football

Above: Scotch College in East Melbourne Left: The Barker homestead near Cape Schanck Below left: John Barker who owned the Barrabong Station at Cape Schanck Below: James and John Connell

By Lance Hodgins Part Two THE famous 1858 match in Yarra Park between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College is already entrenched in the history of Australian football.

Among the enthusiastic boys cheering for Scotch on those three days would have been the Barker brothers – John and Richard. At 12 and 13 years of age, they both wished that they were a couple of years older and so could have been chosen in the forty who were playing so valiantly for their school.

They admired their new headmaster, a tall athletic Scot called Alexander Morrison, who had sanctioned and encouraged that first match. Another boyhood hero was their young Scottish chemistry and natural history teacher, John McAdam, who umpired the game alongside Tom Wills. His distinctive long red hair and beard became legendary as he followed the play among the gum trees.

John and Richard Barker were the two oldest sons of John Barker who owned the Barrabong Station at Cape Schanck as well as extensive properties at Boneo. John Barker sr, a wealthy lawyer, had been admitted to the bar in 1851 but chose, instead, to serve as the Clerk for the first Victorian Parliaments, a position he held with distinction until his death 40 years later.

It was only natural that the sons of such an influential person would be sent to Scotch College, the oldest boarding school, to mingle with the sons of other professionals, businessmen and administrators of the young colony.

At that time, Scotch was settling into its new property on Grey and Lansdowne Streets, Eastern Hill – where the Peter McCallum Cancer Centre is today – between St Patrick’s Cathedral and the Treasury Buildings. The Treasury Gardens became the playground for the boys of the school.

Of greater importance, however, was the College’s proximity to Yarra Park. A five minute walk and the teenage John and Richard were in the middle of the frantic activity that was unfolding there every weekend during the winters of their schooldays.

After 1858, school matches continued to flourish and the older Barker boys were in their element. Furthermore, they could now watch the exciting club matches which were being held in the park with increasing frequency, some in front of several thousand spectators.

In 1865, John jr completed his education and returned home to Barrabong to manage the peninsula properties for his father, who was thoroughly occupied with parliamentary matters. Richard came home two years later, leaving the much younger brother William to finish his studies at Scotch.

When John jr went back to Mel-

bourne to pursue his legal career, Richard took over as property manager and dwelt on the day when William could come home and join him.

When that day finally arrived in the early 1870s, the two boys embarked on an amazing adventure.

They would stage a football match on the Mornington Peninsula. The challenge was to assemble two teams of likely lads.

The Shire of Flinders was created in 1874 and it contained about 200 males between the age of 15 and 30.

Its towns were still reasonably small, but there were plenty of pioneer farmers taking up properties under the government-sponsored settle-

ment schemes of the day.

Using their contacts and influence, the Barker boys had no trouble finding enough fit young men from Boneo to Balnarring who were willing to give the new rules a go.

One such participant was James Connell, of Moorooduc, who remembered taking part in the match but not the exact year it took place.

Born in 1853, he was a young man at the time, and not yet embarked upon his extensive grazing activities in the Tuerong district.

The match was played at Balnarring, possibly on the site of the present Balnarring football and cricket ground which had been recognised and declared a reserve for sporting purposes by 1874.

The teams represented Flinders and Balnarring, each with a Barker serving as its captain and, no doubt, also acting as advisor and arbiter of the rules. Their influence was short-

lived, however, as the game was beset with confusion and frustration from the start.

Whereas the Melbourne football clubs had spent 15 years writing and refining the rules of the new game, it was still a learning experience for those who lived beyond the reach of the railway and other means of communication.

The match was only ten minutes old before argument led to fisticuffs, and the game rapidly descended into a brawl which, in Connell’s memory, was enjoyed for the remainder of the afternoon.

The dreams of the Barker brothers would have been shattered. The local football scene fell silent.

It would be a few more years, and from a different source, before a football match would again be played on the Mornington Peninsula. … to be continued

LOCAL experts, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, are having great success assisting Peninsula residents with pain, degenerative issues and mobility concerns. As one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices, the clinics are excelling in the area of tissue regeneration utilizing the very latest medical research and treatments. This means that many pain and mobility concerns that were once something you just had to put up with, or could only be assisted with harmful medications or surgery, can now be treated easily and effectively.

So if you suffer from arthritis, soft tissues (muscle, tendon, cartilage, ligament) tears and degeneration, pain or mobility issues they could be a thing of the past.

Musculoskeletal Podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics says, “Most foot and leg pain, injuries (new or old) and degenerative concerns can now be assisted with the use of natural regenerative injection therapies such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) or Prolotherapy (Proliferation of new cells injection therapy).

At Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, we’ve had some wonderful results utilizing these treatments.

We’ve assisted athletes return to professional sport, relieved pain in people who’ve suffered for years, promoted healing and increased mobility in people who’ve been told that nothing can be done for them.”

PRP and Prolotherapy are similar in action; they both encourage the body’s natural healing mechanisms to kick-in and promote the development of new collagen to assist the healing of soft tissue. PRP utilizes components of your own blood, whilst Prolotherapy

consists of a glucose and anesthetic solution.

Either way, extensive medical research shows increased joint, ligament, and tendon stability, pain relief and increased mobility. They are also natural, non-toxic, safe, minimally invasive and relatively fast acting. Preferable to cortisone, anti-inflammatory medication and shockwave therapy, without negative side effects.

Dr Kavanagh goes on to say, “Correct diagnosis and addressing structural issues and faulty biomechanics is a key component to assisting healing and preventing the re-occurrence of symptoms. Combine these wonderful injection therapies with nutritional advice, orthotic therapy, along with stretching and strengthening programs where required, the results can be outstanding and long-term”.

If you have foot or leg pain, injuries or degenerative issues, you can see Dr. Kavanagh at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Rye and Mt Eliza. Ph: 1300 328 300

The truth about the truth in advertising

By Stuart McCullough DEAR Sir / Madam / Other, Try and see it from my point of view.

Out of nowhere, I receive a letter with the Channel 9 logo emblazoned on the envelope. My hands trembled.

My heart fluttered. I felt like Charlie Bucket about to rip the wrapping from a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar and hoping – nay, expecting – to find a Golden Ticket inside. Finally, I thought.

Someone out there has the courage, the guts and vision to recognise my dormant broadcasting talent and give me a shot on television. It’s not as improbable as it sounds. Given my standing offer to host Australia’s Funniest Home Videos on an as required/ substitute teacher basis, it seemed that a combination of persistent campaigning and old fashioned cyber stalking were about to pay off handsomely.

As I held the envelope between my fingers, I felt as though my ship had finally come in. As it turns out, I was right. My ship had, indeed, arrived.

Only it just so happens that the ship in question was the Titanic.

I’d be perfectly happy as a guest reporter for 60 Minutes or even a mentor on The Voice. I’m an ideal candidate for the third-time-lucky incarnation of Simon Townsend’s Wonder World; ideally as the new Simon, but I’d gladly settle for the role of Woodrow. Introducing vintage episodes of Bubble Guppies would be a foot in the door.

Even reports from the traffic chopper would be something. For the love of Richard Wilkin’s hair, I’d even be content running crowd control for the outdoor broadcast crew to reduce incidences of ‘boneheading’ at sporting

broadcasts. But alas, your correspondence offered me none of these things.

Instead, it offered me the chance to advertise.

This, frankly, is a kick in the guts with an uncomfortable shoe. It means that I can be on TV only if I stump up some cash to pay for the privilege.

This so happens to be the exact op-

posite of the relationship I was hoping to establish. I was dearly hoping that someone might be willing to pay me to be on television and not the other way around. Worse that inviting me to advertise, your letter invited me to attend a seminar about advertising. This, to be blunt about it, does not sound like much of a night out. Not that

you haven’t done your best to make it sound like an absolutely magical evening. Indeed, your letter describes the annual 9 TVConnect seminars as: ...one of the most important advertising events of the year.

However, this is not so much a tragic overstatement as, I feel, a complete contradiction in terms. It then goes on to claim: If you have ever thought about TV advertising – this really is the chance you have been waiting for.

Truth be told, I’ve thought about a lot of things in my time – from Velcro Chimp pants to the use of dolphin skis as an alternative form of public transport. I’ve wondered what it would like to be a contestant on Sale of the Century during its vintage Tony Barber era and, upon blitzing the mad minute, producing a Fender Stratocaster and perform a note-perfect rendition of Plastic Bertrand’s Ca Plane Pour Moi. There’s almost nothing I haven’t thunk, including how we, as a species, are helpless when it comes to the seemingly exponential growth in the use of double negatives. It’s only fair that I confess and say, yes, in my quieter moments I’ve thought about television advertising. But just because various ideas have randomly flitted their way across my mind doesn’t mean I want to attend a 45-minute seminar. So it is with great regret that I must decline your invitation.

I realise that I’m missing out. What your letter makes clear is that by not attending a lecture on the joys of advertising, I am agreeing to a lesser kind of life; one without brand or name recognition and in which I fail

to reap the bounteous rewards that are implicit in over-exposure. By not turning up I will never learn how, in your words, to ‘turbo charge’ my business through ‘the Power of Television’. So be it. Incidentally, I’m not sure that even effective advertising is enough to warrant upper case treatment for either ‘Power’ or, for that matter, ‘Television’. The ‘Power of Television’ is one thing. The power of grammar is, sadly, still largely neglected.

So thanks, but no thanks. I realise that in declining I’m doing myself out of a chance to win a Harvey Norman Gift Card worth a staggering $30,000.

(The mind boggles at the size of the iPod you can buy with such a thing.)

Worse still, it means that I’ll never get a chance to hijack the public imagination by using an annoying, pointless catchphrase like “Hello, Hello” or “Spamburger, Spamburger, Spamburger” as so many brave pioneers of low-cost advertising have done before me. It’s my loss.

So best wishes to your group over the coming week as you conduct your ‘TVConnect’ seminars. No doubt others treated the arrival of a letter from Channel 9 as the greatest day of their lives. Perhaps they do feel as though it contains a Golden Ticket and no just a dud night out. Please accept my apologies. And, incidentally, if you guys are still in need of someone to replace Georgie Gardner on Today, you clearly know where to find me.

Kind regards, Stuart McCullough stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Southern Peninsula News 10 June 2014

Peninsula kids chat with Justine Clarke MPK: What do you love most about doing concerts?

JC: Hearing everybody sing and roar.

Keira, 6: What is your favourite colour?

JC: My favourite colour is yellow.

MPK: What is your favorite animal?

JC: The platypus. What a crazy animal!

MPK: What is your favorite kind of tree?

JC: Why a gumtree of course!

MPK: What is your favorite plant and vegetable?

JC: My favourite plant is a gardenia bush and fave veggie would definitely be green... Crispy iceberg lettuce. Yum! Emily, 6: How do you get the ideas for your songs when you are writing them?

JC: I think about something that makes me smile and remember what fun it was to be a kid.

Charlotte, 4: Who is your favourite toy on Play School?

JC: Mine is Jemima.

Humpty has always been my favourite!

Riley, Jye & Jorjah-Mae: When you grew up what was the highlight of your childhood?

JC: So many but one of my fondest memories is swimming at Bondi with my mum and dad, I was about 6 and they took me out to the waves.

Isabella, 8: I have been watching play school for yonks. You’re beautiful!

What TV shows did you watch when you were little and did you go to any kids concerts back then?

JC: Thanks. I watched Play School a lot! And HR Puff N Stuff and a lot of The Muppet Show.

Lucinda: What is your favourite part of being on play school?

JC: Everything! But I love the story chair. Knowing

how many stories have been read in that old red chair. Also, just being in the company of the toys is always pretty special.

Charlotte, 4: I love watching play school. My question is do you like to do play school, your TV shows or make CDs better?

JC: I love that I get to do lots of different and interesting things. But I think I love singing the most!

Casey, 6: What is your favourite song from play school? Mine is Incy Wincy spider.

JC: I love that song too!!

Mine is a lullaby. It’s called Moon Moon Shiny and Silver.

Lawson, 4: What song do you love singing and dancing to the most?

JC: The song in the show I love singing and dancing to the most is Dancing Pants.

But I’m happy singing and dancing to pretty much anything!

Tigers storm home over Redlegs PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SEAFORD made it two wins on the trot in Peninsula League football on Sunday after storming home to beat Mt Eliza.

The Tigers appeared to kick themselves out of the contest is the third quarter when it dominated play but could only manage a return of 3.9 to 3.2.

Scores were locked together at the final change before the home team booted 5.3 to 2.2 in the last quarter to win 13.19 (97) to 11.12 (78).

Nick Boswell has been in the footy wilderness for a little while after crossing from Rosebud back to his home at Seaford last season. However, his last two weeks have reminded everyone just how talented he is.

On Saturday, Boswell booted three goals and was arguably the best player on the ground.

Aaron Walton was also dominant for the Tigers with three goals and genuine stars Ben Crowe and Dean Kemble were at their menacing best.

The Redlegs simply had no answers in the second half.

The visitors led by seven points at the major interval but ran out of steam in the second half.

Jordan Moncrief was a shining light in what was otherwise a pretty dim day for the Redlegs. He booted four goals and was one of his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, while Rob Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orazio and James Anwyl were also fine contributors.

Mt Eliza would be bitterly disappointed with the start to their season, given they finished in the finals last season and recruited extremely well in the off-season.

Langwarrin lost its third game on the trot on Saturday, this time to the all-conquering Mornington.

Langwarrin had a soft draw at the beginning of the season and its ladder

position wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a true reflection of where the club was at, despite some new faces in the off-season.

In the Kangasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense, they have played the two grand finalists from last season (Bonbeach and Edithvale) and the best side in the competition currently in Mornington.

They were in winnable positions against the Sharks and Eagles.

However, on Saturday, they were no match for the Dogs in the second half.

Mornington is flying at the moment

and Langwarrin was just another scalp that it was able to outgun and outclass on Saturday.

Dale Nolan was too big and strong in attack with five goals, Michael Williams dominated with three goals and Aidan Speedy continued his sensational season.

Matt Dimkos made it 11 goals in two games for the Kangas after booting five, while Michael Parker and skipper Scott Sienkiewicz also worked tirelessly.

When the heat was turned up after the half time interval, Mornington booted nine goals to four to win 14.7 (91) to 9.12 (66).

It was the third quarter which costed the Kangaroos, booting just 1.2 to 5.3 in that term.

Frankston YCW completed the expected and did what it had to do to beat Chelsea.

The Seagulls stuck with the Stonecats in the opening half and trailed by just seven points at the main change.

However, the class of the home team shone through in the second half with Craig Nankervis and Kevin Lylak dominating. The Stonecats also had the luxury of playing Dale Carroll in attack and he responded with four goals.

The Gulls rallied in the last quarter with Jayden Attard and Fia Tootoo at their best yet again.

The final scoreline was 13.14 (92) to 6.11 (47).

Inaccuracy in front of goal cost Bonbeach an even bigger win than 121 points against Karingal.

The Sharks got off to a slow start (1.7 to 0.2), however, booted 10 goals in the second quarter to really set-up the 21.18 (144) to 3.5 (23) win.

Shaun Foster booted seven goals in the win while Shane McDonald kicked three in yet another scintillating performance.

Jackson Casey was arguably the best player on the ground yet again for the Sharks while Gary Carpenter also found his best form, even getting forward and kicking a goal.

Grant Paxton and Grant Goodall were the best of the Bulls, along with Christian Matthews.

In the final game, EdithvaleAspendale got the four points against Pines as expected.

Although the Eagles didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything special, they still managed to record a 11.16 (82) to 8.10 (58) win.

Michael Kremmer booted four goals for the winners and Darcy Holden was back in the team and contributed three majors in a dominant performance.

Brad Tagg was at his best, as was Stevey Mannix, while Lachy Foley caused plenty of headaches once again for the opposition.

Guy and Beau Hendry were the Pythonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best in what was a special day for the club, celebrating the past 50 years.

Sharks frenzy mauls Demons

(wedding) and Brady Egan was back at Frankston.

On a positive note, Chris Gleeson was back for his first game at full forward, however, only finished with one goal.

Ryan Semmel returned from the Foxtel reality show The Rookie but he looked like a bloke who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played footy for some time.

Sam Smith was very good and will be better for the run and Ben Holmes tried to fill holes in only his second game back.

Aaron Findlay continued his run of good form for the Demons with four goals, while Matt McIndoe and Brad Rawlinson were comfortably their best players.

Rhett Sutton and Ryan Taylor were also strong four-quarter contributors for the Demons.

Whilst Rye held the Sharks in the second half, they were still beaten comfortably. The half time margin was 45 points and the final margin was 54 points.

Sorrento will gain enormous confidence from this win.

Red Hill faced its biggest test against Dromana on Sunday.

NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO played its best football for the season to smash arch enemy Rye in Nepean League football.

In the only Nepean League game played on Saturday, the Sharks turned it on in front of a big crowd to win 17.11 (113) to 9.5 (59).

Sorrento had its best side in for the season and it showed. Its star players were all at their absolute best, including Guy Stringer and Troy Schwarze across half back, Leigh Treeby, Kayle Stringer-Morris and James Hallahan through the middle and Tyrren Head and Leigh Poholke up front.

Poholke booted five goals and Stringer-Morris three while Zac Burns was also elusive with a couple of majors.

Rye was blown away from the first bounce.

On paper, the Demons had one of their strongest sides in for the season.

However, their gun Adam Kirkwood tore a hamstring on Thursday night at training prior to the game. Andrew Dunn was also missing
