Riding for a cause RANDALL Stephens stepped off the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry last week after riding across the Nullarbor Plain to raise money for and increase awareness of haemophilia and other bleeding disorders.

The 34-year-old said he was planning to put his “feet up and just relax�.

His 5000km ride has so far raised $4400 but he’s hoping more people will donate to a worthy cause.

Netballers play on uneven field Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SHORTAGE of players among some of the Mornington Peninsula’s footballnetball clubs is limiting their ability to field teams.

There are concerns this could destabilise the whole football-netball competition.

While some top footy clubs are travelling so well they can afford to splurge on former AFL players and earn thou-

sands of dollars from pre-sold home games, associated netball clubs are suffering from a lack of players and memories of 60-goal thrashings.

It is understood that Sorrento, and possibly Dromana, will not field Agrade netball teams this season, which, along with Hastings, also happened in 2013.

This causes a unlevel playing field for the clubs that participate: some teams will be drawn to play weaker clubs twice, but not top clubs Tyabb, Crib Point and Rye, while others will face

the top three twice, and only encounter the forfeiting clubs once.

It is understood this is upsetting some clubs.

Sorrento Football Netball Club is crippled by a shortage of eligible women of the high standard required to compete in A grade. As a result it will field only under-17s, B and C grade netball teams this season while the club’s senior football team is playing for its sixth flag in eight years.

Sorrento Football and Netball Club president Gary Woodhams said the

inequality is that the football-netball league was constituted like country leagues, which have similar competitions. In the bush, it is common to play football or netball on a Saturday and then go to the club bar to talk about it.

At work the following Monday and all through the week the game is a ready topic of social conversation.

That’s not the case on the peninsula, which is part of greater Melbourne with its many and varied weekend activities open to potential players.

Pines go to make a park WORK is well underway on the creation of a long-awaited community park in the peninsula’s hinterland, the Red Hill Station Reserve on the corner of Point Leo and Shoreham roads.

Stage one was the removal of 78 large and small radiata pine trees as well as ivy, karamu, sweet pittosporum and other woody weeds. The pines were cut into logs by a professional tree removal firm and shipped in containers to China. Weeds were removed by eight young members of the federal government’s Green Army, who finished work last week. Also removed was builders’ rubble.

The next phase is landscaping including building paths and retaining walls, creating garden beds and a base for a proposed war memorial, where a service will be held on Anzac Day. The ceremony will include a dedication of the memorial as well as commemorating the centenary of the Anzac landing at Gallipoli in the First World War. A play area will be built of natural products such as timber. There will be no plastic and no garish colours. A picnic area with tables and seats will be constructed near the play area, and the Lions Club of Red Hill has offered to install an electric barbecue.

The park will include a shelter and an information booth pointing out interesting features of the area including birdlife and flora, and walking trails.

Closer to Shoreham Rd will be a small BMX and mountain bike skills track.

David Maddocks, chairman of Red Hill Community Association, said all vegetation to be planted would be indigenous and include ground cover, shrubs and trees.

Timber-r-r: Creation of Red Hill Station Reserve is underway at last with removal of pine trees and woody weeds. Improvements to the reserve were first proposed in 2008.

“Where appropriate, there will be interpretive signs detailing the uses plants were put to by the Aboriginal people who inhabited the area before European settlement,” he said.

Mr Maddocks, also president of Manton and Stony Creek Landcare Group, said Landcare volunteers would plant 500 indigenous plants this year.

The remainder of radiata pines in the car park area off Callanans Rd down to the rail trail and the old turntable area also will be removed.

The work is part of a five-year plan to beautify the precinct.

Manton and Stony Creek Landcare Group won a state government grant of almost $150,000 for the community park.

RHCA is focusing on three projects this year – the community park, a fire safety strategy, and a safer speeds strategy.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors will consider the Red Hill Station Reserve master plan in April. Mr Maddocks said there was overwhelming support for the plan.

Netball players on uneven fields Continued from Page 1 There is so much more to do here that missing out on a netball game is not seen as a problem.

“Netball players who would rather not drive to Sorrento on a Saturday – for a probable thrashing – can play midweek at Rosebud and maybe win (or at least enjoy the game),” a former player said.

“That doesn’t make for a good competition.”

Former footballer and life member of the Southern Umpires’ Association Tony Nemaric, of Somerville, whose daughter is soon to start playing netball at Tyabb, said the fact that three netball competitions were already established on the peninsula made the establishment of a football-netball league “superfluous”. (See “Level the field”, Letters, Page 12.)

“It has now become difficult for all these competitions to find netballers.

This was never a country league,” he said.

“The radical thing to do would be to disband the competition and start again.”

League commentator and football writer for The News Andrew “Toe Punt” Kelly said the key question was to what degree the football and netball clubs were prepared to work together.

“Some Peninsula and Nepean football clubs thought it would be a great idea to open their clubs to women; that it would create a vibrant family identity benefiting both entities. Others saw it as a drain on resources,” Kelly said.

New business group for Rye RYE Beach Business Association has been formed to provide a collective voice for ideas, activities and issues that will enhance the town.

Inaugural president Peter Houghton said that it was “very exciting to have this new group for businesses in Rye to work together to undertake projects, be the collective voice of businesses, and provide a vehicle to advocate, lobby and promote Rye”.

Alongside Mr Houghton are vice-president Melissa Lambie, secretary Susannah Clavin, and treasurer Lynette Edwards. Committee members are Glen and Jude Bishop, Anton Vigenser, Virginia Raven, Robyn Allen, Lyn Inglis, Kate Wild, Chantelle Chiron and Dylan Araps.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s team leader of business development Tania Treasure said 34 businesses had joined since the association was formed on Tuesday 17 February.

The shire supported establishment of the as-

8dWW 7`fdk

sociation, and a range of workshops were held with Rye businesses in the lead-up to the association’s incorporation.

Nepean Ward’s Cr Hugh Fraser said the group would strengthen business in the town. “The shire is committed to supporting a sustainable and resilient economy, and I wish the Rye Beach Business Association the very best in continuing to promote their businesses and the town to residents and visitors, and ensuring the town’s economy remains vibrant and sustainable,” he said.

The group welcomes other local businesses and traders to join and actively participate.

Huge car parks plan for Skylift David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au LARGE tracts of Arthurs Seat State Park near the summit will be taken over for car parking to service the proposed Skylift gondola ride, a meeting organised by Save Our Seat was told last week.

More car parking will also be developed near the gondola’s bottom station, beside the historic Dromana cemetery, the 70 attendees were told.

There were gasps from the audience when pictures were shown of the total car park area, which will accommodate well over 600 vehicles.

An audience member and local resident, Gabrielle Johnstone, protested that the summit’s number two car park would cover an area she and her Seawinds volunteer group had been working hard to regenerate. It contained native orchids, she said.

A plan of the summit parking showed three overflow areas – a main overflow off Purves Rd plus two bigger and more distant areas. It was suggested mini-buses might be needed to pick up and deliver patrons who parked at the sites and that lighting would be needed to help late-departing patrons to find their vehicles.

It was also pointed out that females employed at the summit gondola station would need to be accompanied to their vehicles, especially at the end of night shifts.

Total car parking for the bottom gondola station and at the summit is proposed to be 627, of which four

Council move to control approvals for contentious developments will be disabled parking, plus four bus spaces, according to a Parks Victoria document.

In an important development last Friday, Cr Hugh Fraser moved to ensure that councillors, not shire officers, decide on conditions imposed on Skylift by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. These include the emergency management plan and the bushfire emergency plan.

VCAT imposed 78 conditions on the Skylift proposal, many of them highly detailed. They cover everything from shire approval of the plans, landscaping, food and beverage sales, and neighbourhood amenity, to closing the gondola lift in emergencies and gondola evacuation procedures.

VicRoads must be satisfied the project meets its conditions, included in the VCAT decision. They include providing a detailed traffic volume forecast and “an analysis of ... pedestrian and patron safety” including roadway “vertical geometry” at the summit and calculation of sight distances.

No work can start “in, on, under or over the road reserve” without all necessary approvals, condition 77 mandates.

The threat of bushfire was also dis-

cussed, with deep concern expressed about the number of people who might be at the summit, sheltering in the 850-square metre building and unable to leave because of fire.

Three roads lead away from the summit. All would be risky in a bushfire.

The draft Emergency Management Plan risk rating for the summit is

“high” but “unlikely”, with “major” consequences for both people and infrastructure, according to the plan’s table 6.1.

The primary response to a bushfire threat is to call 000, the table states.

The meeting was told that the top station is to be built to a far lower Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) than is

required for new houses built in the area. A recent house was required to meet the BAL 40 standard, at considerable extra cost, while the Skylift summit building is required to conform to BAL 12.5, the second-lowest level.

At the VCAT hearing, Member Geoff Rundell questioned Parks Victoria witness Alan Farquhar about the benefits Skylift would provide for Arthurs Seat State Park. Part of Mr Farquhar’s response was that Parks Victoria had “allowed the proponent to propose a new footprint” for the area to be leased.

Discussions had included offering a multi-attraction ticket for Skylift and the proposed Point Nepean quarantine station development, which is in doubt after the election of the Labor state government last November.

The object was to encourage people to “linger” at Arthurs Seat, Mr Farquhar said, and then move from the gondola to Point Nepean.

Mr Rundell asked if it was feasible to have a cafe at the summit without a gondola. Mr Farquhar said it was, but it would be better with the gondola ride. Parks Victoria’s funding was dependent on the number of visitors to the parks it controlled, including that at Arthurs Seat.  Save Our Seat has launched a new petition that can be signed online at saveourseat.org. The website also provides a downloadable letter that can be sent to Environment Minister Lisa Neville.

Volunteers sort rubbish haul BALCOMBE Estuary Reserves Group members carefully sorted and surveyed their haul of rubbish on Clean Up Australia Day on 1 March.

Their mission: to highlight to the state government the need to introduce a cash for cans and bottles scheme similar to that operating in South Australia. They believe this is the best way to reduce the amount of plastic dumped in our waterways.

Spokeswoman Liz Barraclough said the group collected 70 bags of rubbish, including large items. The haul included eight bags of bottles weighing 80kg, five bags of plastic bottles weighing 2.5kg, five bags of cans weighing 2kg, a “huge mess of plastic bags” weighing 2kg and piles

of other rubbish. The group had two collection points in conjunction with Mt Martha yacht club and lifesaving club members.

Ms Barraclough said a group of 33 residents at a collection point at Bird Rock picked up swags of cyclists’ pop-top drink bottles.

“Perhaps we should target cyclists,” she said.

This year there were not as many plastic “bong bottles” and few needles and syringes, with rubbish traps on beach drains seemingly doing their job.

“We thought rubbish was coming into Balcombe Creek from drains but now it appears it’s coming from the sea at high tide,” she said.

“We are finding plastic parking slips from as far away as the Yarra.”

About 40 sites in Mornington Peninsula Shire were registered with Clean Up Australia Day. There were 11 other groups that did not register but helped clean their own particular area.

Friends of Chinamans Creek stalwart Norm McKinlay has been recognised for his 25 years of effort on Clean Up Australia Day.

Rubbish HQ: BERG’s Jenny Selby sorts bottles at the clean-up. About 70 bags were collected on Clean Up Australia Day.

Forward thinking vital for business Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FORMER UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher infamously proclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is no such thing as societyâ&#x20AC;? in 1987 but it is not an opinion futurist Mark McCrindle would share.

The social researcher, author and professional speaker has made a career out of analysing modern societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trends and actions.

He is heading to Mornington this month to share some of his insights as a guest speaker as part of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Business Breakfast Series.

Mr McCrindle established McCrindle Research nine years ago and has made it his business to tell corporate clients and governments about societal shifts on the horizon.

The company conducts focus group research and collates and digs through data to make statistics clear to more than 100 corporate and government clients.

He regularly appears as a social research commentator in the press and on TV and radio on shows such as Channel Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Project, ABC News 24 and Channel Sevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunrise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was working towards a psychology degree and my goal back then was to become a psychologist but I actually preferred sociology more, looking at society rather than individuals,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to help people understand the trends and changes to come. We all spend so long focused on what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing now or the technical

Futurist: Mark McCrindle

aspects of our industry that we forget to observe the changing external environment and technological shift.â&#x20AC;?

He said his presentation in Mornington is a good chance for businesspeople to find out how changing demographics, including the coming of age of those born from 1982 onwards, commonly referred to as Generation Y, will impact on their companies both as consumers and employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Companies] can suddenly find theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good at what they do but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer relevant to the society we live in.â&#x20AC;?

Planning for change is essential for a business aiming to thrive in a technological advances and the rise of social media, according to Mr McCrindle.

McCrindle Research itself has had to adapt to change over the past decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we began as market researchers it was just all about statistics

and reports but these days itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;summary cardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to communicate to stakeholders and visual presentations and animated visuals â&#x20AC;Ś social media and multi-media presentations didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist when we started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about visualising stats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking it out of percentages and pie charts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and communicating in a simple and a quick way rather than having to read through a table.â&#x20AC;?

McCrindle Researchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to incorporate graphics and multi-media in its presentation of statistics gleaned through research has been recognised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The ABS awarded McCrindle Research a Statistics Excellence Award in 2013 for â&#x20AC;&#x153;excellence in using statistics in the mediaâ&#x20AC;?.

The award came just two years after ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Media Watch show questioned some of McCrindle Researchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey methods in its earlier years.

Mr McCrindle is unfazed by the criticism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you develop a career thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have people who have a go. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about conducting quality research.â&#x20AC;? ď ŽMark McCrindle will talk about Trends transforming the business landscape: thriving in times of unprecedented change at Mornington Racecourse on Tuesday 17 March, 7-9am.

The FMP Business Breakfast Series is hosted by Frankston Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston Business Network, Monash University and Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism. See frankstonbusinessnetwork.com.au/ fmpbrekky for full details.

Banks ‘return’ Traders push for ‘no more than $5m more plastic bags’ MORE than $5 million has found its way into the community as a result of customers accepting a new way of banking at Rye 13 years ago.

The money has been funnelled back into the community through grants handed out by three branches of a bank established in partnership with Bendigo Bank.

Banks being run at Rye, Rosebud and Dromana under the Community Bank label in February achieved two milestones: $500m in loans and deposits and more than $5m awarded in grants to community and sporting groups.

Rye Community Bank opened in 2001, Dromana in 2007, and Rosebud in 2013 under three franchise agreements operated by Rye and District Community Financial Services.

“This has been a success story that is here to stay and will continue to benefit the local community well into the future,” senior manager Gary Sanford said.

The Community Bank model sees income equally split between Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and the franchises. The franchise agreements also require that 80 per cent of Community Bank profits must go back to benefit the community; the remaining 20 per cent can go to shareholders.

“By local businesses, community groups and all ages of customers moving their banking to the Rye, Dromana and Rosebud branches they have not only benefitted from high quality customer service but have been helping their own community, in many cases not even knowing they have been,” Mr Sanford said.

“It is hard to summarise all the major funding’s and benefits to the local, but you would be hard pressed to find someone in our local com-

munity who has not benefited or heard about what the Rye, Dromana and Rosebud Community banks have supported.”

Mr Sanford said he “must have thought something was right about the Community Banking model” when he resigned after 24 years with the CBA “to go and work for a new company that had no income and no customers”.

“As a career banker, I now feel like I do not work for a bank, I work for the local community.

“Being part of such a successful group has benefits far above being a banker. The high quality customers and community groups we have banking with us have made all this possible.

“It is a pleasure to come to work and know what you are doing each day benefits not only your customers but helps the community in so many ways.”

SOME traders in Blairgowrie and Mt Martha have committed to becoming plastic-bag free. And they have the backing of Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

“Disposable plastic bags are a common and growing problem in beach litter and can stay in our oceans for hundreds of years,” the Mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, said.

“There are so many great alternatives to single use plastic bags now, and it’s great that these areas are taking up the challenge to become plastic bag free.”

Blairgowrie traders have taken the lead. “Blairgowrie’s IGA Grocers trialled being plastic bag free over summer and received a huge response and lots of local support,” she said.

“The Blairgowrie community is an active and environmentally aware community and I am sure it will be a huge success.”

The Metropolitan Waste Resource Recovery Group’s Samantha Ackland, a key figure in the push to reduce the use of plastic bags, said any move to reduce litter and protect waterways was welcome.

“In December, the Mornington Peninsula Shire was approached by local residents to investigate addressing the issue of plastic bag litter in Blairgowrie and Mt Martha,” she said.

The project was launched on Wednesday 18 February by Ian Kiernan, founder of Clean up Australia, to celebrate 25 years of Clean Up Australia Day. “Disposable plastic bags are a common and growing problem. They often end up in our waterways and oceans. Statistics show that every year more than four million tonnes of plastic enters the world’s oceans and 100,000 animals die after ingesting or

becoming entangled in plastic.

“Plastic also contains toxins which are carried through the food chain and remain in the marine environment for hundreds of years. Many great alternatives are available to single use plastic bags.”

Ms Ackland said over the next few months the shire would continue to work with Blairgowrie and Mt Martha businesses to consolidate the memorandum of understanding to support plastic bags free townships.

Blairgowrie IGA’s Kate Lawson said the summer plastic-bag-free trial “went well”. “We received good feedback,” she said. “People were supportive of it.”

As the biggest users of bags in the strip, the supermarket tried to run down its plastic bag supply by the new year and then used only paper bags for several weeks. However, busy trading over summer meant the paper bags ran out and it was back to using plastic again.

Ultimately, the choice of paper bags or calico bags – as opposed to plastic – is up to their customers: “It’s a matter of training them not to use plastic bags,” Ms Lawson said.

“Some customers say they reuse the plastic bags and also use them as garbage bags; I get that but we want to eliminate all plastic bags.”

MeatHeath Butchers, also in Blairgowrie, have been plastic-bag-free since September 2013. Owner Heath McKenzie said he had been using paper bags since then. “We still use plastic freezer bags but not plastic carry bags,” he said.

“We put our stamp on them so they are good advertising as well as being good for the environment.”

He said most customers favoured the no-plasticbag idea: “Some even bring their used paper bags back to be used

SAND MANAGEMENT WORKS NEAR RYE BOAT RAMP Mornington Peninsula Shire has received permission to undertake sand management works in the channel at the boat ramp near the Rye pier to improve safety.

The sand from these works will initially be placed approximately 200 metres to the east of the granite groyne, and will be used by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning for beach renourishment in the vicinity of the Rye Yacht Club.

The sand may initially be grey in colour but will quickly be bleached to the colour of beach sand by the action of sun and air. Tests have been undertaken on the sand to be removed and it does not represent a risk to health.

The works are planned to commence early March 2015 and may continue for up to 4 weeks.

Some minor disruption of access to the boat ramp and boating channel may occur during this time, and Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.

For further information please contact Mr Peter Young on 5950 1281

Bernice marks 60 years leading guides ABOUT 100 family, friends, Trefoil Guild members, and past and present guides and leaders enjoyed an afternoon tea at Rosebud Guide Hall to celebrate Bernice Gilbert’s 60 years as a Girl Guide leader.

Mornington Peninsula district manager Heather Barton talked about Ms Gilbert’s service and achievements.

Assistant State Commissioner Mandy Fitzgerald presented her with the Long Service Badge and Certificate and then read messages from Victorian State Commissioner Lynne Emblin and Chief Commissioner of Australia Robinette Emonson.

Before the blue and gold cake was cut, Sandra Cooling, of Langwarrin Guides and Cooinda Trefoil, read a poem written by Nick Cooling.

A display of her life in guides attracted great interest.

Ms Gilbert’s journey with guides began as a schoolgirl when she helped form Ellinbank Girl Guide unit in 1952. When she returned to Ellinbank after boarding school, she was asked to take charge of the guides while the leader started Brownies. At 17, she started as a leader on 5 February 1955.

She trained by correspondence and became the youngest leader in Victoria on 20 September 1956. When Ellinbank went into recess she took her remaining guides to 2nd Warragul Company.

The outdoors is Ms Gilbert’s great love as shown by her involvement in district, region and state outdoor activities, including training and assessing girls and leaders in outdoor skills. She was a state trainer for 35 years. She and Betty Poole set up Brogui Park camp at Warragul. A highlight was when she represented Australia at an international camp in Norway in 1973.

She held many positions in the Baw Baw region and, when shifted to McCrae in 1995, continued her involvement on the Mornington

Peninsula. The next year she became coordinator of the State Mobile Guide Shop, travelling 180,000km around Victoria over 10 years.

For her service to guiding, Ms Gilbert was awarded the Wattle Award and Bar and the Blossom Award. She was awarded the Warragul

Rotary Youth Leadership Merit Award and the Paul Harris award from Rotary Club of Rye. Ms Gilbert volunteers at Rosebud Girl Guides as well as other community clubs in Gippsland and on the peninsula.

It’s believed three men may have been snorkelling or fishing at Fingal Beach north of Cape Schanck when two of the men got into trouble just before 8am.

A 50-year-old Keysborough man managed to get to shore and raise the alarm.

A 42-year-old St Albans man and a 34-yearold Vermont South man were still missing, presumed drowned, as of Sunday night.

The search was resumed on Sunday, but called off due to rough weather.

Plans for boardwalk beach access PLANS have been drawn up to build a boardwalk and viewing platform at Point Leo surf beach.

The wooden structure which would provide easier access across sand dunes to the beach is being proposed by the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch with backing and labour from Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club and Point Leo Foreshore Committee.

The project has been costed at $60,000 and Mornington Peninsula Shire is being asked to contribute $20,000.

The DSA, which holds two surf events for disabled surfers a year, has several wheelchairs which can be used to carry disabled people to the beach but are difficult to handle if pushed by one person.

The branch last year built a bitumen track from the car park to the lifesaving club and now wants to extend beach access with a boardwalk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aims are threefold, to provide access to the beach throughout the year for all abilities, such as people who have a disability, wheelchairs, aged and infirm and young families with prams,â&#x20AC;? committee member John Bowers said.

The boardwalk would also provide views over the beach for lifesavers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently, the vegetation obstructs a full view and with the viewing platform in its proposed location the view will never be blocked out,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On our surf event days wheelchair bound people are brought from the registration area [at the lifesaving clubhouse] to the beach on our

An easier way: There is no easy way for disabled surfers to get to the water at Point Leo. Special wheelchairs must be pushed and dragged onto the sand while the surfers wait their turn in the forecourt of the lifesaving club. Plans have been made for a boardwalk to make it more easy to access the beach.

Pictures: Keith PLatt

Sandcruiser wheelchairs with a harness attachment and one person pulling and one pushing the chair through the sand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These surfers are marshalled at the clubhouse where they do not have a view of the beach, excluding them from any involvement until they are

transferred to the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The eventual aim is to have the Point Leo area as an all abilities area with appropriate facilities.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Bowers said this would make Point Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only all abilities accessible surf beach.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the bayside beaches do not have appropriate access, either.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;About one in five people on the peninsula have a disability, our population is aging and with more people retiring to the area this means a major attraction cannot be utilised.â&#x20AC;?

Accessibility app A NEW app has been launched to show places around Frankston with access for the disabled.

The Out & About app also shows wheelchair access, accessible toilets, disabled parking, accessible walking paths and hearing loops.

Users can search by location, venue type or accessibility feature, such as wheelchair accessibility, accessible toilets, disabled parking, hearing loops or handrails.

The app has been released by the not-for-profit disability and aged care services provider Villa Maria to â&#x20AC;&#x153;improve social inclusion for people with disabilities and mobility limitationsâ&#x20AC;?.

Of the 2500-plus venues listed on the app, 65 are in Frankston including aquatic centres, restaurants and cafes, shopping centres, cinemas, museums and tourist attractions.

Villa Maria wants to hear from Frankston residents about other accessible venues and events, to help build a list that will enable people to find the most suitable place for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to help people of all abilities find these places with the touch of a finger. The more venues and events we have on the app, the more useful it is to everyone,â&#x20AC;? executive manager marketing Rebecca Ryan said.

Users can also make suggestions, write a review or rate a listing.

To recommend a venue or event for inclusion, residents can download the app and follow the prompts, The app is available on Android and iPhone.

Clean-up campaign: Lyn Wedd shocked at the amount of plastic littering the ocean beach. Picture: Yanni

Waste crusader cleans up ST ANDREWS resident Lyn Wedd was a woman on a mission in November: she set herself the task of cleaning parts of the ocean beach from Rye carpark to Boags Rocks every day for an hour and a half.

Her rubbish haul – which she quipped, sadly, was “still in bags in my garage” – is an indictment of the laziness of consumers in this throwaway age. About 85 per cent was plastic.

“I was in total shock at the amount I collected,” he said. “I could not believe the numbers of micro-plastics.”

Ms Wedd picked up hundreds of disparate items along a stretch containing what’s described on a google search as Victoria’s dirtiest beach: Pearse’s Rd Beach, Blairgowrie.

Her survey areas included St Andrews beach carpark, Boags Rocks, Moana Ave, Miami Dve, and right along the back beach.

“It was a tough gig,” she said. “So much rubbish flows out of the bay and is washed up here.”

Her ‘natural’ discoveries - a dead humpback whale, two dead seals and a penguin – were interspersed with 7417 man-made litter items.

This included 5681 pieces of plastic, 244 bottle tops, 71 foam pieces, 60 food wrappers, eight bait bags, 30 balloons, 12 stubbies, nine corks, 10 soft drink cans, 48 cigarette butts, eight cigarette lighters, 13 fish hooks, 14 pieces of fishing line, 26 plastic bottles, 128 pieces of plastic film,

54 straws, 299 pieces of plastic twine/rope, 16 pieces of polystyrene, 21 takeaway food containers, 328 nurdles, 13 glow sticks, 198 cotton tips/lolly pops, 14 thongs, 14 rubber pieces and five fishing floats.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb is a fan of this anti-litter crusader: “Lyn is an example of positive leadership, setting up a Facebook page to lead the charge on a plastic free peninsula mission,” she said.

“By raising awareness through the page, Lyn aims to encourage all beachgoers to be aware of the amount of plastic litter that not only gets dropped on our beaches, but makes its way around the globe. Make sure you ‘share’ and ‘like’ her page.”

The peninsula’s first beach patrol group – 3941 Rye Beach Patrol – was formed last week.

The new group is the 15th beach patrol group on Port Phillip Bay, but the first at the southern end of the peninsula.

“Beach Patrol is a great initiative that supports local groups taking practical action in helping to look after up their patch,” Cr Colomb said.

Rye residents Julie James and Michelle Cheers were instrumental in establishing the group which launched on Sunday 1 March.

“I look forward to many more beach patrol groups across the Mornington Peninsula,” Cr Colomb said.

LETTERS Level the field With the local footballers about to start another season, the news from their netball sisters is that Sorrento and possibly Dromana will not field A-grade teams this season which, along with Hastings, is what happened in 2013.

This leads to a non-level playing field for those clubs that do participate because some teams will be drawn to play them twice, and not the top clubs in Tyabb, Crib Point and Rye, while others will face the top three twice, but will only encounter the forfeiting clubs once.

This is causing discontent among the other clubs.

There is also another side to consider. The top three clubs in the competition have about 20 players who played, or are playing in the Victorian Netball League, while the remaining clubs have two or three.

In the past this has resulted in clubs like Sorrento and Hastings enduring 80 goal thrashings. For the women of these clubs there are surely, and understandably, more enjoyable things to do on a Saturday than walk on court and be donkey-licked every week, without respite.

Part of the initial problem is that the competition was instituted like other country leagues which have football netball competitions, blithely disregarding the fact that the Mornington Peninsula, for better or worse, is a part of Melbourne.

Three netball competitions pre-existed in this part of the world, and the football/netball league was superfluous. It has now become difficult for all these competitions to find netballers.

This was never a country league.

In many country towns in Victoria if a young person does not participate

in football, netball or cricket, there is little else.

The peninsula is blessed with facilities for water sports, athletics, equestrian, hockey, basketball, bowls, tennis, and golf beyond measure. Here is another obstacle to the success of the netball competition.

To rectify this situation, it is not up to the clubs, but depends entirely on the administration of the Peninsula Nepean Sports Alliance.

Rumours surround Dromana’s ability to field a strong team this season, after playing in two of the past three football grand finals, and Sorrento has played in the last seven. Both clubs’ player payments total hundreds of thousands of dollars a season so the irony is not lost on anyone.

The football clubs worked on the adage that if you throw enough money at a problem the problem will go away.

Perhaps the sports alliance could induce Sorrento and Dromana to extend largesse to the women, rather than the present situation of the men getting all the money and the women getting nothing.

Antony Nemaric, Somerville

Follow the rule I saw Cadel Evans on the TV news and noticed he was riding his bike in the middle of a driving lane while there was an adjacent bicycle lane. All the while, of course, moaning about drivers.

My question to VicRoads was: is there a road rule that says that bicycles must use the dedicated marked bike lanes on the highway or can they ignore them and use the driving lane at their discretion?

The answer: “Road rule 247 states the rider of a bicycle must use the bicycle lane unless it is impracticable to do so.”

So Cadel was violating Road Rule 247 as do many of his bicycle compatriots.

Quite frankly I am tired of having to put up with rude riders (minority) and the mobs who have no consideration for automobiles and take advantage wherever they can, totally disregarding the bike lanes like they own the roads.

I am more than willing to share the road with them even though they pay nothing for the privilege and have no minimum safety standards in the road rules (another subject altogether).

Of course, there is no enforcement of this road rule and that is why they continue their obnoxious behaviour with impunity.

Call the cop shops and complain and let them know that they are quite willing to ticket us for violations of all sorts but not bicyclists, who only have one road rule to follow.

Discussion needed I would like to question whether local ratepayer associations around Australia are the appropriate groups to comment on the future of national parks. I refer to a spokesman for Mornington Peninsula ratepayers (and I am a ratepayer here) commenting about the development company which signed a lease with the Napthine government at the 11th hour before it went into caretaker mode [before the November 2014 election] promising sensitive development at Point Nepean.

I see the outcome of the “sensitive” development at the Two Sisters Sorrento – site of the first colonial settlement of Victoria - by the same developer as a disaster.

I understand the consultation [about the future use of Point Nepean National Park] with Parks Victoria

was done with the previous Labor government and the Liberals sacked and transferred Parks Victoria staff at Point Nepean who were involved in those discussions.

The recognition of the Boon Wurrung people is extremely important and would be much better served with Parks Victoria than at a developer’s hands, as would be the quarantine, army and first settlement stories and not forgetting the fauna and flora, both of which will be impacted with test hole drilling and significant vegetation removal to put in spas and pools.

With the rush to sign the lease last November, much of the final proposal is unknown.

National parks are nature reserves and wilderness areas and development discussion should be administered and discussed by appropriate parks and conservation groups, not local community groups without specific environment agendas. This is the only way to get true sensitive development John Trewarne, Rye

Small sacrifice I’m a dog owner and I understand the need to go out and get exercise, not just for myself but also for my dog.

Government policy shows biodiversity is a responsibility for all Australians under the Australia’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy 2010–2030 as well as the Victorian strategy for biodiversity of 1996, making it subject to the Planning and Environment Act of 1987. This is not about any minority group.

I take note that the mentioning of feral foxes and cats in the national park are threat to the hooded plover, that’s why a feral animal control program exists and cats are to be confined to owners’ properties 24 hours day.

These animals have no place in

Australia’s natural biodiversity web and they cause damage, essentially pulling the threads of the web apart.

Banning dogs from the beach is a necessary sacrifice to ensure preservation of the hooded plover in the national park. After all, others use the national park, not just dog owners.

The argument that an activity should be allowed because there are other risks to the birds such as feral animals and high tides is not sound. If a risk can be minimised to protect species then that is what needs to occur.

People need to ask themselves at what stage will it be okay to ban dogs from the beach. When there are 30 hooded plovers left, 20 hooded plovers left, 10, 5, 3, 1, 0?

Mornington Peninsula Shire has provided more leash free areas than any other municipality. We can also walk with a leash in any street and any footpath apart from areas where high biodiversity values occur.

At the end of the day people, not governments, protect the environment. The national park is zoned to protect and conserve the natural environment and natural processes for their historic, scientific, landscape, habitat or cultural values. To provide facilities which assist in public education and interpretation of the natural environment with minimal degradation of the natural environment or natural processes and to provide for appropriate resource based uses.

The personal attack on our MP for Nepean [Martin Dixon] who is calling for dogs to be banned doesn’t show responsibility to our biodiversity or recognition of the applicable land use that is in place to ensure that the national park is preserved for future generations.

Missed the fish, hooked the boat TWO mates who went fishing in Western Port managed to hook the biggest catch of their lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a boat and trailer.

Grant Hook, pictured above left, of Cranbourne, and Mark Davie, Somerville, often fish together and, after missing the two previous years, decided to enter the Westernport Whiting Challenge held from 28 February to 1 March.

They also agreed to share any prizes.

When it came to weighing in the fish at Hastings they had a couple of respectable whiting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 700gm being the largest in their 1500gm bag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but came nowhere near the 996gm fish caught by Robert Bugeja and the 10.514kg bag of Wayne Moncrieff.

But they did drive away with the ticket prize of a 4.2 metre boat, motor and trailer valued at $9500.

The top fishing prize was valued at about $2000.

Mr Davie, who has been fishing Western Port for about 20 years, said they would be selling the boat so their

Long ride for a cause prize could be split evenly.

Their catch from the northern section of the bay, although not eligible for the whiting competition, included pinkies (small snapper) and a metre long elephant shark caught by Mr Davieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 year old son, Andrew.

The challenge was taken up by 347 competitors who handed in 1680 whiting to be weighed. The average fish weight just over 300 grams

Other winners in the challenge were: Marian Kraulis, heaviest two day bag senior female (6.726kg); Toby Stewart, heaviest whiting boys under 10 0.644 kg; Shaye Borninkhof, heaviest whiting girls under 10 (0.746 kg); Ben Peru, heaviest whiting boys 10 to 12 (0.615 kg); Amity Moncrieff , heaviest whiting girls 10 to 12 (0.527 kg); Tahnee Moncrieff , heaviest whiting teens (0.560kg).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A LONG ride for a worthy causeâ&#x20AC;? is how Randall Stephens described his journey by bike across the Nullarbor last week.

Stepping off the Queenscliff-toSorrento ferry the 34-year-old said he was planning to put his â&#x20AC;&#x153;feet up and just relaxâ&#x20AC;?.

His 5000km ride has so far raised $4400 to increase peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness of haemophilia and other bleeding disorders.

Mr Stephens, who suffers from the condition, said he revelled in the personal, physical and mental challenge of the gruelling ride, which took six months.

Nothing much to marble about among the shops EMU can hear his Blushing Bride drumming loudly, that noise emus make in their throat when startled or angry. It is audible for kilometres. It sets dogs barking. The neighbours complain about rattling cutlery. Emu feels a headache coming on.

“Four hundred and ninety thousand results,” she squawks, advancing but still half way down the hall. “I just Googled it. Four hundred and ninety thousand!” She has arrived at the door to what is laughingly called the man cave, blotting out the light in that special way of hers. She begins to drum louder.

“Don’t do that, Dear,” Emu pleads urgently. “It corrupts my cochlears.

Four hundred and ninety thousand whats? And it is such a cliché. Why would the shire build the Taj Mahal at Rosebud? It would look so out of place. It would not conform with the rest of the shopping strip. And where would all the desks go?”

Emu could feel his bewilderment was showing. His bride noticed, and softened. “It said in the local paper that the shire was going to build the Taj Mahal near the Rosebud cinema and fill it with shire staff,” she said, patting his wing. “We can’t afford it and it would be too showy. All that gleaming marble. Fine for India, but not here.”

Emu is orientating himself. He now

PAGE 14

knows of what she speaks. “They’re not actually going to build the Taj Majal,” he ventures feebly. “It’s a figure of speech. It actually means they’re going to build something modern and … and …” He searches for the right bureaucratic buzzword “... appropriate for the shire, Dear.”

Suddenly his mind is locked into clichés. “At the end of the day,” he hears himself intoning, “the bottom line will dictate a structure – if one is mandated – that meets the requirement for a purpose-built facility that those tasked with performing necessary public service functions ...” It is so long ago that Emu topped up on Sir Humphrey Appleby-speak. He peters out: “... will find, er, appropriate.”

Whether the shire builds a new

Southern Peninsula News 10 March 2015

headquarters in Rosebud and what it will look like is far from settled, Emu gleans on a quick re-read of the newspaper report, which says nothing of the proposed style of any new building. It will probably be “bayside contemporary”, he muses, but thriftily done.

The internet confirms the 490,000 mentions of “Taj Mahals” from all over the world, even from Alice Springs. In Gympie, Queensland, the local paper reported theirs was “headed for the scrap heap”, which did seem a waste.

But what’s this? A chap has made a model of the famed tomb at Agra, India – the “crown of palaces”, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a resting place for his wife Mumtaz

Headline news: It seems many readers, emus included, take headlines literally. However, Mornington Peninsula’s councillors are more likely to opt for “bayside comtemporary” rather than “taj” when it comes to a new civic centre.

Those that don’t mind admitting a certain admiration for India’s marble masterpiece include Ron Savory’s matchstick version, left, and an iced cake, right.

Mahal – out of 10,000 matchsticks.

And here’s one made of Lego. And another of toothpicks. Shah Jahan would be furious.

Five thousand nine hundred and twenty-two pieces comprise the plastic model. Soccer superstar David Beckham built one, an admission on TV that sent sales of the kit soaring 633 per cent.

It is too sublime a structure – more art than mere man-sculpted stone – to be rendered in plastic or matchsticks, Emu decides. By all means put pictures of it in books and on postcards,

to be marvelled at. Plastic mocks it.

It is a thing of heart-stopping serenity and ethereal dignity, existing at the divine edge of human accomplishment. The astonishing tribute of a grief-stricken man to his wife who died delivering their 14th child. They lie together in its burial vault.

Mrs Emu has long stopped drumming. One cannot long look at or think about the Taj Mahal without falling into a profound, calming, reverie. Emu memo to self: get a picture of it for the Blushing Bride’s study wall, to go above her desk.

Fourth venue bids for pokies

Entertainers: Yirrmal and the Yolngu Boys will be appearing alongside Ella Hooper and Frank Yamma at the Water to Water Festival at The Briars on Saturday 21 March.

Entertainers go to water FRANK Yamma and former Killing Heidi singer Ella Hooper will perform later this month at the second Baany to Warrna Ngargee – Water to Water Festival at The Briars, Mt Martha.

Yamma, who sings in English and Pitjantjatjara, has toured Australia and overseas.

Hooper, a singer-songwriter, radio presenter and TV personality, won four ARIA awards in 2000 as a member of Killing Heidi.

Yirrmal and the Yolngu Boys will return to The Briars to join musicians, dancers and artists during Cultural

Diversity Week, Harmony Day and the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Mornington Peninsula resident and niece of Archie Roach, Nola Lauch, will be on stage along with the Indigenous Hip Hop Projects.

The non-profit festival aims to promote cross-cultural relationships, human rights and diversity.

Children’s activities include didgeridoo playing, canvas painting, book publishing, art workshops, face painting and learning about

bush tucker. Information about the peninsula’s indigenous history, art and culture will be provided by members of Willum Warrain Gathering Place, Nairm Marr Djambana and Baluk Arts.

Stalls will sell meals and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts and crafts. Workshops and other cultural activities will run before the festival through schools and community groups.

A MORNINGTON hotel wants to install another 17 poker machines to take its total number from 23 to 40.

Mornington on Tanti Hotel has applied to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation for the extra pokies.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council intends to lodge a submission and is seeking comment from the public.

The hotel – owned by Gianni Grollo’s PubCo Group – will have to provide the shire with a socio-economic impact assessment as well as a planning application as it is making changes to its premises.

The application is the fourth for extra electronic gaming machines to be considered by the commission and the shire in the past 15 months.

The Peninsula Club in Dromana, formerly Dromana-Red Hill RSL, won approval for 15 pokies last year. It had wanted 18 machines but a compromise was reached that saw the club make a large cash payment to a community group. It now has 35 pokies. Baxter Tavern won approval for 15 pokies but hasn’t yet acted on its licence.

Dromana Hotel has applied for more machines and the commission for gambling is expected to make a decision soon.

If the Tanti is successful, it will bring to 267 the number of pokies in Mornington and Mt Martha.

The shire generally opposes pokies applications, believing the municipality has sufficient.

The most recent figures (2013-14) show $79 million was lost to pokies on the peninsula. In the 2012-13 financial year, total losses were $78.9 million, down slightly from the previous year.

About $25 billion had been lost on pokies in Victoria in the past decade.

The News understands the shire will publish a new gambling policy in two months. It will contain details about harm minimisation, and directions for gaining maximum benefit for the whole community from gaming.

Last week the shire published a public notice about the Tanti application.

It stated: “The application to add 17 additional pokies at the Mornington on Tanti Hotel also proposes to formalise an annual community support fund and undertake new works to improve [the] venue. The full details of the application can be found on the VCGLR’s website: www.vcglr.vic.gov.au The shire is seeking views from residents via an online survey.

The survey deadline was last Thursday but views will still be considered prior to the Tanti’s VCGLR hearing on 23 March. The survey is at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/TantiHotel Submissions can be made directly to the commission by post or online.

No will? There is a way!

Why is it that many Australians don’t feel it necessary to, or don’t prioritise the making of a Will?

Some people believe the inheritance process is simple, but it’s not necessarily the case. The legalities involved with inheritance and funerals for people without a Will, are complicated and can be painful for family members, loved ones that are left behind.

The timely distribution of estate assets can be significantly delayed when no Will exists, this is called ‘dying ‘intestate’. When this occurs the Supreme Court can appoint someone to administer the deceased estate. In these situations, the assets of the deceased are distributed according to the laws of the States and Territories of Australia. This may not be in accordance to your wishes.

This can mean solicitors spend a lot of time clarifying finer points once you’ve passed away, which can result in unexpected costs. You can avoid circumstances like this by thinking about what you’d like to give people when you’re no longer around.

Talk to a solicitor who will help you to clearly understand the different parts of the Will, storing your Will securely in a place known and accessible to your executor/s.

They can also explain the importance of having Powers of Attorneys.

Take the first step and give yourself peace of mind.

For many years, The Salvation Army Wills and Bequests Department has been conducting “Community Wills Days” at Salvation Army Churches or Centres across Australia, both in metropolitan and regional areas. These days have proven to be very popular.

Local solicitors have given their time to The

Salvation Army, so that we are able to provide this Community service. For a donation of $50 you can sit with a solicitor and give them your Simple Will instructions, ensuring that all details are completed correctly, whereas you may leave parts of your Will incomplete if you use a Will kit on your own.

The Salvation Army has been assisting Australians in need for over125 years through a broad range of services. As one of these services, The Salvation Army encourages individuals to create their own Will outlining their own personal wishes for how their accumulated or inherited assets will be distributed.

Throughout 2015 The Salvation Army will be conducting a number of Wills days across Victoria. By coming along to our Wills Day you can have your Simple Will prepared or updated by a local solicitor, and support the work of The Salvation Army These days have been very popular and appointments are limited – act now to be sure not to miss out!

To find out where and when call 1800 337 082 Monday – Friday between 8:30am – 4:30pm to book your place.

New childcare centre for Red Hill RED Hill is lucky enough to have a wonderful new childcare centre with the opening of Monterosso Early Learning.

A dream of director, Eliza McCarthy, the centre opened in January this year, catering for children from three years up until school commencement.

“We chose the name Monterosso as it means red hill in Italian,” says Eliza.

The centre has program based on the Early Learning Years Framework (ELYF).

“The framework is national and acknowledges the importance of early childhood development and ensures children in our care receive programs that will benefit their communication and language skills and well as encourage social and emotional development,” says Eliza.

There are three concepts that come from the Early Years Learning Framework. They are belonging, being and becoming.

“Belonging acknowledges children’s interdependence with others and the basis of relationships in defining identities. Being recognises the significance of the here and now in children’s

lives. Becoming reflects the process of rapid and significant change that occurs in the early years as young children learn and grow,” she says.

“The activities provided by our educators offer opportunities for children to guide their own learning based on their interests and skill level.”

Monterosso is providing speciality classes weekly in music and movement which will alternate throughout the year.

“These speciality programs are provided to families at no additional cost,” says Eliza.

Monterosso will have a maximum of 23 children each day.

“Our smaller centre better enables our staff to focus on the interests of the children and ensure each child’s individual needs are met in a fun interactive environment,” says Eliza.

The natural environment of Monterosso even has resident chickens, a great undercover outdoor area and natural grassy yard space.

Monterosso Early Learning is at 1006 Mornington- Flinders Road, Red Hill.

Political intrigue, missteps inspire satire ARTISTS Fran Henke and Tony Sowersby have had plenty of grist for their painting mills for this year’s Bald Archy Prize, the satirical portraiture contest that spoofs the Archibald Prize.

It’s been a year of political intrigue and missteps to inspire the artists.

Mrs Henke, a long-time Hastings resident, has entered Catgirl, also known as Minister for Foreign Affairs and deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop; Chairway to Heaven, her tribute to disability activist Stella Young; and When Charlie Met Ahmed, a collage tribute following the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a late entry “which I donated to the Bald Archy Prize for its future and for which a significant bid has already been received”, she said.

Her artist’s statements are: “Catgirl – Foreign Minister Julie Bishop clawed her way into Cabinet; performed in Parliament with feline ferocity; and has purred her way around world cat-astrophies – with class.

“Chairway to Heaven – ‘I’ve been an atheist ... ever since I first heard that there was only a stairway to heaven,’ said Stella Young, journalist, disability advocate and comedian. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta, Stella used a wheelchair for most of her life, which ended too soon on 6 December 2014, aged 32. Noted also for her red polka dot shoes, Stella and her shoes winged their way up nevertheless.

“When Charlie met Ahmed – the atrocities in Paris in January struck at the heart of the right to cartoon and caricature, bringing a small print run magazine to world prominence. The people came together en masse. In this

work, their face is represented by the Statue of Liberty, which was born in Paris.

“Australia has a proud ‘black and white’ history from first publications on settlement through to Oz magazine and onwards. Not without challenge as Oz publishers were dragged through the courts for obscenity. Archibald prizewinner William Dobell also endured court action for his portrait of Joshua Smith, criticised by people as a caricature. Australia has also suffered at the hands of extremists – remember Martin Place. Lest We Forget.”

Seaford artist Sowersby has entered Andrew Bolt has egg on his face as well as Jovial Joe.

“This is what right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt said during September 2013: ‘Abbott, whom I rate highly as an honest and moral man ... tells me Labor’s fall has underlined how critical it is for politicians to honour promises. He’s repeatedly vowed to make no promises he cannot keep ...

Yes, Abbott is set to do better than anyone would once have thought. Including him ... I also trust his good heart.

He will in time probably prove more popular than he’s recently become ...

Bring on the return of integrity in politics ... Because – pssst – here’s the tip.

Tony Abbott is actually a very nice and quite sensitive man ...’”

Sowersby’s statement for Jovial Joe

reads: “When the grateful Australian nation erects a statue of Hockey, these words will be on the base: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempesttossed to me, And I will teach those leaning bludgers a lesson they’ll never forget!

Sowersby has won the People’s

Choice award three times – in 1998, 2004, 2005 and 2014. He won the main prize in 2005 with a caricature of Tony Abbott and George Pell.

The Bald Archy Prize was created in 1994 and attracts artists of all standards and styles. It encourages portraits ranging from hilarious to vulgar.

The portraits are touring eastern Australia. Winners will be announced in July. More information: www. baldarchy.com.au Mike Hast

Pink stumps day success

Living examples: Frankston footballers Sam Fox (second from left at back) and Brad Sykes (third from left) with Bonbeach footballer Ricky Sykes and fellow Dolphin Dale Sutton during one of their Kick Start to a Healthy Heart programs at Frankston Park.

CRIB Point Cricket Club had a pink makeover recently when 86 women gathered for the Pink Stumps Day High Tea to raise money for the McGrath Foundation and breast cancer awareness.

The second annual Pink Stumps Day was a roaring success with more than $3000 raised for the foundation.

Women of all walks of life and ages came together to enjoy a delicious high tea and be entertained and moved by the speakers.

Richmond legend Kevin Bartlett regaled the audience with colourful

tales of his football days and an extensive review of his memoirs.

On a more serious note, breast cancer survivor Dianne Thompson moved many in the audience to tears with a touching account of her breast cancer journey.

Mornington Peninsula Breast Care Nurse Jo Lovelock explained her role as a breast care nurse and working with the McGrath Foundation.

Donations from local businesses and clubs were auctioned on the day amongst plenty of merriment and laughter.

Footy players take ‘heart’ to young FRANKSTON Dolphins players Brad Sykes and Sam Fox are running school holiday programs through in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

Both players are in their fourth season with Frankston’s VFL team and are qualified coaches and say they want to show youngsters how sport and healthy lifestyle choices can improve their quality of life They say team sport has engendered life lessons that helps them with the challenges of everyday life and have started Syked for Sport to help spread the message.

Fox said they attributed their personal confidence and success to sport.

“Through our Kick Start to a Healthy Heart program we aim to bring about a revolution in the community by fostering a fresh culture of

fun, purpose and inspiration through affordable sports programs that reach as many youngsters as possible,” Fox said.

“Online games and social networking have captivated the imagination and energy of our youth, which has its place, however, Kick Start to a Healthy Heart leads to more physical activity, more social interaction and increased emotional wellbeing.”

Fox said research shows participation in sport and particularly team sport provides “unique benefits to the youth of our community”.

“Benefits include greater confidence and self-belief, improvements in motor skills, rising fitness levels, and healthier eating habits. Active participation in sport is valuable as it develops pro-active interpersonal skills such as teamwork, leadership,

sportsmanship, positivity, resilience and socialisation.”

Kick Start to a Healthy Heart has run an eight-week program at six primary schools and is also developing a leadership program for high school students to educate and coach “budding young leaders”.

“We are keen to raise public awareness of our passion and programs - particularly within our local schools - so that more youth of this generation have an opportunity to receive a kick start toward finding their place in this community and to making a difference,” Fox said.

The Kick Start to a Healthy Heart six-day school holiday programs for 5-10 year olds are supported by the Frankston Dolphins. Bookings: www. sykedforsport.com.au

Mosque members help clean up Australia

THE Langwarrin-based Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria has been credited as providing the third highest number of volunteers at this year’s Clean Up Australia Day. On Sunday 1 March more than 200

volunteers from association helped collect rubbish at selected sites in Langwarrin, Dandenong and Werribee South.

At Langwarrin, above, the clean-up began at the association’s mosque,

Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace), with a recitation from the Quran and its English translation.

Imam Janud said Ahmadi Muslims volunteered “very enthusiastically” because cleaning up was “a part of

our faith” and Muhammad had proclaimed “cleanliness is half of your faith”.

“Secondly, we are proud Australians; we want to do our part in safeguarding Australia for future genera-

tions. This is just one of many ways we can do so,” Imam Janud said.

More than 1200 volunteers from the association worked at nine clean-up sites across Australia.

Red Hill Show’s pole position THE Red Hill Show is now just three weeks away. Submission day for the Show’s many competition categories is looming. Cakes need to be baked, cheeses aged and alpacas groomed.

But with only two weeks before their totem pole needs to be constructed, the horticulture staff at the Karingal organisation, led by Senior Site Manager John Proudlock, still appear very relaxed.

Six years ago the team, together with the intellectually and physically disabled adults who attend the centre in Rosebud every day, began entering the Red Hill Show’s Decorated Shoe competition. The Red Hill Show ribbons on the wall celebrate their finest competitive moments, including ‘Shoe Horn’ (a shoe adorned with a bull’s horn), ‘Tap Shoe’ (literally a bathroom tap within a shoe) and ‘Boot Scoot’ (a boot attached to a scooter).

“No one got that one except for me; it was too obscure for the judges” Proudlock says of ‘Shoo Fly’; a shoe with a jeans zipper instead of laces. ”Tough As Old Boots: that was when we just got an old boot and stuck some knives and forks in it.”

When the Decorated Shoe competition wound up three years ago, the Karingal team switched their focus to the Best Decorated Totem Pole competition. And on this sunny afternoon, the totem pole concepts are flying.

“Icy Pole – a totem pole made of ice.”

“Pole Dancer – we could do something with that!”

“What about a Pole-a Bear?!”

“The judge for the Totem Pole Competition, she used to work for McLelland Gallery, and she actually selected all the artwork to go along Peninsula Link,” says Proudlock.

With that insider information, the team have a new plan: build a totem pole designed specifically to appeal to judge Charlotte Carter. On Red Hill Show Day – Saturday March 28th - look out for a totem pole inspired entirely by Peninsula Link sculptures.

“A Tree of Life totem pole…..stick a ram’s head on top of it….it’s Year of the Goat!”

The Red Hill Show will be held on Saturday, March 28th. Some competition categories are still accepting entries – visit redhillshow.com.au for details.

Mornington Retirement Village and TFSL is hosting a series of free information sessions in response to the government changes to Aged Care that became effective on July 1st 2014. Changes are part of reforms to the aged care system to make it more sustainable and affordable.

A Grain of Salt WHO is God? A tricky question. We all have two primary advisers: that little voice in your head and of course “they”. Discerning the various advisements from “they” is as difficult as the various interpretations in the bible.

“They” spend lots of time on television, radio and obviously are well known as psychologists, the AMA (Masters of “they”), health food proprietors, and almost every person of the wowser type.

The Wallabies, Hawks, Ricky Ponting, Mark Webber; seemingly all famous people join the “they” clan and recommend Swisse as the path to health and happiness. (Or Blackmores for only $37.99 at Chemist Warehouse; great value “they” say).

“They” are big on the word “organic”. Tea bags, eggs, you name it.

Good advice, “they” say. I like white bread, but “they” say no, the brown grainy bread is the go? So there I sit nightly on my Unicare lounge chair, Dettol sprayed coffee table watching Midsomer Murders, a Swisse pill, organic green tea with a dash of permeate free milk, toast of brown grainy bread and organic jam, knowing all is well on the health front.

Previous addictions cigarettes and that “disgusting” habit being almost forgotten dreams. *** Metadata! The Australian Federal Police honcho wants power to access personal computer histories to help catch criminals. The possibility of misuse screams loud and clear. Power control freaks at work. No computer, no iPhone? Safe on the principle “If you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve got

nothing to fear”? Have you got kids, grandkids? Sorry, you’re in the mix like it or not, personal freedom in danger. What happens if you’re identified in error? A Current Affair at your door for the ‘sensational’ angle no matter the truth?

Metadata, like smoking and alcohol will be a case of “the more they get the more they want”. For your own good. They’re human beings; that’s what human beings do. A form of subtle degradations to our freedom in favour of authoritarianism, almost always historically involving corruption to some degree.

As Lord Tony says: “There is no greater responsibility on me, on the government, than keeping you safe”.

[On radio: “If you see something suspicious call the National Security Hotline] Refer R G Menzies “Reds under the bed”. *** More often than not the problem is we subconsciously assume trust forgetting the obvious human element throughout every walk of life.

The NAB scandal and compensation payouts as a result of self-interested financial advisers are “inappropriate practices”.

Who would have thought? Other examples in everyday living associated with natural trust by way of human nature.

So you’re gone into the NAB for financial advice, or any bank for that matter, and possibly due to a conflict of interest you’ve lost a few thousand dollars. What can I say? Sorry?

Where did the brilliant idea banks were there to help you first pop into your skull? Let’s be honest, you were

a prize duffer in the first place.

One wonders if our pollies have noticed the drop in interest rates, obviously affecting pensioners and self-funded retirees with a few bob stashed away in term deposits paying peanuts.

Hey - you Canberra suits, the deeming rates need adjusting down, NOW! Superannuation tax breaks, negative gearing and the use of trusts - I mention these on the chance our Treasurer is reading this column. *** The AFL football season looms, aside from the rubbish at the start to make money at our expense. An extra $25 for six months to watch Rupert’s Foxtel.

My foolproof system of watching my mighty Magpies. Tape it obviously, watch from the first bounce, switch to a good murder mystery if my boys get two goals behind and, after the match, delete if we lose and watch it all (maybe twice) if we win, (three times if we beat Hawthorn).

Fast forward the half-time nonsense from ex-footballers purported to now being expert commentators who almost all love the sound of their own voices and show us lots of intelligent moves in that first half we somehow missed. *** That’s the beauty of Rye. Along comes the perfect sunny days, lazy days with the ever present background of those jet skis, rising to a sound equal only to Beethoven’s 5th.

For this we are ever thankful to our thoughtful Mornington Peninsula Council, who in their wisdom have

By Cliff Ellen upgraded access at Rye so that we non jet ski enthusiasts can experience the true love and art of music. *** I’m against capital punishment; all cases being political. If I had my way I’d lean heavily towards life imprisonment with, in severe cases, a private parts dismemberment. *** Where did I ever get the idea George Brandis would make a good Minister for the Arts?... Privatising utilities will ALWAYS drive prices up. End of discussion...The National Party’s Andrew Broad suggesting our homes be included in the assets test; one way to get noticed, however stupid...Strange how our government puts these seemingly minor surcharges on certain necessary prescriptions...Boycott Bali and penalise innocent Balinese workers? Must I take the blame for Ronald Ryan’s hanging? Well yes - I haven’t been to Coburg since

1967...“The new Sportsbet cashcard.

You can collect at any ATM. And that cash is ALL yours” Yeah-right...Monday 23/2, the night Lachy Hulme arrived in Gallipoli on Channel 9; so?...

Maybe if they built a yellow submarine; frighten off the sharks and a well-known theme song... Bring back Sarah Ferguson. *** “How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can’t say and what we can show and what we can’t show it’s enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong; it’s like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can’t eat steak”. [Robert Heinlein].

That’s what we do” [Tony Abbott]... hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com www.ello8.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Beware rabbit poisoning in process Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE ‘Argus’ acknowledges last week £6 from six commercial travellers, as a first instalment of £1 weekly each, while the war lasts, to the Belgium Fund. Included in this list of donors of £1 weekly is the name of Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston. *** THE district Rabbit Inspector wishes us to draw attention to the advertisement appearing in this issue warning persons not to interfere with any poisoning operations or other work, carried out by him, or his assistants, on any land. People who so offend are liable to a fine of £20, under section 37 of the Vermin Destruction Act. Interference may mean trespassing on land on which poisoning operations are being carried out, or setting traps, or shooting, or removing poisoned rabbits without the consent of the Inspector, etc. *** IT will be seen by advertisement in another column that the Westernport Progress Association have organized a second trip for this season, round Westernport Bay, by the S.S Genista, on Saturday, March 20th. A special train has been arranged to connect, leaving Flinders street at 8.10 a.m, stopping at all stations, and returning from Stony Point at 6.30 p.m. The boat will call at Cowes on the return voyage, and the Hastings Band will accompany the trip. This excursion is a delightful one and affords an opportunity of seeing the Naval Base and nearly all of the beautiful islands,

and bay of Westernport. The price of the tickets for the sea trip is three shillings and sixpence. The ordinary return fare from Stony Point to San Remo is 10 and the return voyage can only be made on the following day, whereas, on the excursion, the whole can be done on one day. *** WE are pleased to see that a meeting of the subscribers to the Frankston Patriotic Fund has been called for Monday next, at 8 p.m. We understand that there is a substantial sum of money in hand. The meeting will decide as to the disposal of this and will discuss the desirability of making a special appeal for the Belgian Relief Fund. There will be a subsequent meeting of the subscribers to the presentation fund to the members of the expeditionary forces, drawn from Frankston and the district. As all interested, whether previous subscribers or not, are invited to attend, it is hoped that there will be a large muster of the public. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Frankston Sports Club was held in Mechanics’ Institute on Monday evening, the President (Captain Sherlock being in the chair.) The secretary presented the balance sheet duly audited, of the New Year’s Day meeting which showed a profit of £28s 11d. On the motion of Mr Dalman, seconded by Mr McComb, £10 was voted towards the further fencing in of the park, and £23s 11d was voted to the Relief of the Belgian

fund. Captain Sherlock moved that an honorarium of five guineas be given to the secretary for the manner in which he had carried out the work in connection with the late sports.

Seconded by Dr Plowman and carried, a unanimous vote of thanks was passed to the ladies who gratuitously ran the refreshment stall on sports day, resulting in the handsome sum of £7 10s being handed over to the committee. Messrs Dalman and McComb were also thanked for having taken the position of auditors at the last moment, owing to the auditors who had previously been appointed, not being available. The meeting then closed. *** THE meeting, convened by Miss B. Rogers, to consider in what way money could be raised for the Belgian Relief Fund, was held on Saturday night last, March 6th and was well attended. A good plan was thought out and is to be put into practice at once. It will appeal to everyone, as the amounts asked for are trifling, but, given at regular intervals, will soon mount up to a substantial sum, and everybody will have the satisfaction of knowing they did what they could. Collection cards are now in circulation (each member to have six and hold themselves responsible for them). All cards are numbered, and are to be checked on the 1st of every month, when the meetings are held.

Following is the result of the election of office bearers President, Captain Sherlock; Vice presidents, Mesdames Mason and McCormack; Treasurer,

Mr Bert Hay; joint secretaries, Misses Gregory and Rogers. Committee — Misses Sherlock (2), Twining (2), Jackson, Reynolds, Hartland, Young, Mesdames Aitken and Beall, and Messrs Oates, Brody, and Beall. *** THE anniversary of the Main Creek Methodist Sunday School was celebrated on Sunday 28th February.

On Monday night March 3rd a public meeting was held in the church and in spite of threatening weather, the building was filled. The entertainment was given by the scholars and teachers of the school, and the children deserved credit for the manner in which their parts were rendered. Mr J. Smith (superintendent of the school) opened the meeting with a hymn and prayer and introduced Sargent Baldry, who occupied the chair throughout the evening. A visit from Santa Claus was much appreciated by the little folk and proved the truth of the old adage, (It is better late than never.)

The programme ran as follows. Opening hymn number 1. Sankey’s prayer ; chairman’s address. chorus ‘The shepherd folk’; recitation ‘After the battle,’ Miss Lottie Barker; recitation ‘My suggestion,’ Master Victor Lawford; solo, Miss Ruby Harvey ‘The Australian war song;’ recitation Master Norman Baldry, ‘Boy’s troubles’; solo Master Brinton, ‘The soldiers keepsake;’ Children ‘Patriotic banner march’; recitation Miss McIlroy ‘Tell the rope-maker’ recitation Master Horrie Shand; recitation, Miss Ethel Baldry, ‘When should he come;’

solo Miss Lottie Barker, A Japanese refrain’; recitation Miss Ruby Harvey ‘The lesson in the train’ recitation Lorna Baldry. ‘The Xmas log;’ collection; organ solo, Mrs Brady; children, Xmas glee, ‘Here comes jolly old Santa Claus; solo, Father Xmas, recitation Mrs McIlroy, Handing down;’ solo Master Brinton ‘The song of the drummer’; distribution of prizes; God save the King; benediction. *** THE third annual sports in connection with the Naval Base was held on Saturday last, at which there was a good attendance. The day was very oppressive till about four o’clock when the wind changed to cool, which was a great relief both to onlookers and those taking part in the sports. The officers worked well in getting the long programme through and though a little behind time in starting owing to the lateness of the special train, they managed to keep well up to time. The entries were good, and in the majority of events the finishes were close and exciting. Mr W. H. Wilson, as secretary was the right man in the right place, and kept everything going with a good swing. The Hastings Brass Band was in attendance and played selections during the day. *** FLINDERS Shire Council. Saturday, February 27th, 1915. The monthly meeting of above was held at Dromana, on Saturday last.

Healthy Living

Help for painful feet and legs OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, but They are often ignored. We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on some common foot and leg concerns and things to be aware of:  Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, causing problems in; ankles, shins, knees, hips, backs and necks.  Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.  Scientific research clearly demonstrates the direct effect chronic foot pain can have upon both your physical and mental health.  Foot and leg problems left untreated almost always get worse  Common ailments such as; Plantar Fasciitis, Heel, Shin, Ankle and Knee pain are often misdiagnosed and mistreated  Common treatments such as cortisone and anti-inflammatory medications are proven to delay healing and cause further damage in many cases  Contrary to popular belief an experienced Sports Podiatrist is the most appropriate person to diagnose and assist foot and leg pain.

THE GOOD NEWS IS: Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments most foot and leg pain and injuries can be treated simply and effectively, without the use of damaging medications or surgery.

The key to healing is correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. An experienced Musculoskeletal Podiatrist has the specific knowledge and expertise to assist pain, injuries and degenerative issues concerning the feet and

lower limbs.

Sports & Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot + Leg Pain Clinics says, “People often endure painful conditions for too long, they assume nothing can be done or receive inappropriate treatments that may provide some immediate relief but don’t address the cause, which is vital for successful, long-term healing.

With correct diagnosis and treatment there is a simple, natural solution for most foot and leg pain. We can even assist soft tissue repair and regeneration thanks to the latest medical research and treatments.”

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

An open letter to the Essendon Football Club

By Stuart McCullough CALL it fate. Or kismet. But whatever it is, it’s clear that the stars are well and truly aligned. Here you are, in need of players to field a team. And here am I; with a spare pair of boots, shorts that leave little to the imagination and a whole lot of time on my hands.

Destiny has brought us together. In anticipation of your call, I have commenced an exacting regimen of physical training. I’ve done at least a dozen pushups, albeit not all at once and not whilst lying down (the floor needed a vacuum). I am now in the greatest shape in my life, which I think might be a squircle, and I am ready to make my debut as a professional footballer.

I was always destined to be a professional athlete. But more than just supreme skills, I bring something to the table other players simply cannot: life experience. This should be of considerable interest to your football club. For starters, unlike most new recruits, I will not have a ridiculous haircut. This is attributable both to old-fashioned common sense as well as a shortage of material. Nor will I decorate myself like a human colouring book as so many footballers do, looking like they’re on day release rather than the interchange bench. As for the risk of staying out late and doing something stupid at a nightclub, rest assured – it’s hard to make a goose of yourself when you’re in bed by ten o’clock after binge-watching episodes of ‘The Wire’.

Monosyllabic press conferences will be a thing of the past. In fact, forget

PAGE 32

press conferences altogether. Instead, I’ll invite journalists over for a fullblown dinner party with cabana and barbecue shapes, cheese fondue and a fruit platter – the works. There will be no more grunting or glazing over in response to questions from the press as I expound at length. I will never, ever say that I’m taking things ‘one game at a time’, preferring instead to hand out

Southern Peninsula News 10 March 2015

copies of my five year strategic plan to members of the assembled media. Yes sir, things are going to be different.

That’s not the only change I plan to make. I will not refer to my teammates as ‘the boys’. It’s a term that’s always made me feel uncomfortable; suggesting, as it does, that many of our professional athletes are in a state of perpetual arrested development that sees

them lumped with the emotional intelligence of a twelve year old. I realize that it’s supposed to make it sound as though the group is an indivisible entity, but who are we kidding? Football clubs are, like most workplaces, replete with petty jealousies and conflict driven by the unauthorized taking of the last tub of yoghurt from the communal fridge. These disputes are the reason ‘trade week’ was invented.

It’s time for honesty. From now on, other players will be ‘workmates’ or, if strictly necessary, ‘colleagues’.

As a past player of the Tyabb Junior Football Club, you should be happy to have me. But if I really do need to list my achievements in order to get you over the line, so be it. At the 1984 Club Pie Night and Raffle Draw, I was awarded ‘Best Dressed’. The following year I backed that up with a certificate for ‘Most Punctual’. Say what you will about the Brownlow, but it’s no substitute for turning up on time.

For three years running, I got a small statuette describing me as the ‘most improved’ player. Assuming that I have continued that stunning trajectory, it boggles the mind to think about how good I must be by now.

I was a halfback flanker. To this day, I hear people on the street describing me a flanker. That said, my hearing is not what it used to be and I’ll concede that these people may, in fact, be referring to me as something that simply sounds like ‘flanker’. I am also an excellent tackler. During an awkward growth spurt in the mid-eighties, I even perfected the art of tackling

myself. The ball would be heading in my general direction and I would start running only to immediately fall over.

It did wonders for my match stats.

If that doesn’t persuade you, consider this: Tyabb is just one town over from Hastings. And Hastings produced the greatest player ever to strap on the boots for your club, namely John Coleman. It would be a sentimental pick. Although I can’t claim to have kicked as many goals on the football field a John Coleman, I have kicked many other goals in life more generally, including a killer reverse park opposite the supermarket just last week.

But, fact is, I’m only writing this letter because I’m starting to get concerned. I would have thought you’d have phoned by now. Essendon: it’s time to think way, way, way outside the box. Pick me to join your rag-tag bunch of underdogs. I am prepared to supply my own boots, socks, oranges and have even come up with my own nickname: the Exfoliater. I’m not sure what it means, but it sure sounds impressive. I realize you’ve got plenty on your mind and to expedite the process, I’ve also enclosed a sample to test at your convenience. Careful with the lid, though, as I’m not sure it’s watertight. Please send through the dates and times for training sessions when you get a chance. If, despite this letter, you decide not to select me, please retain the sample as my gift to you. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

SPIBY HITS DAVEYS

By Melissa Walsh Michael Spiby brings his magical style of music to Daveys on Thursday April 23, for his Michael Spiby Get On Board tour.

Many magical things have happened during Spiby’s musical life. And after fronting one of our most-loved bands, The Badloves, Michael is now focusing full-time on his solo career.

The Badloves released just two studio albums 1993’s Get On Board (which spent 69 weeks on the charts, peaking at number five) and 1995’s Holy Roadside (which went gold and reached number 14).

The first concert Spiby attended was by the band Stylus, by default.

“My great-aunt had her birthday dinner at the Croxton Park Hotel. We were about to go home when a band started setting up, so we stayed for the show. At that stage, I had no intention of being a musician. But I remember dad’s remark: “Look how skinny their legs are – you could be a musician, too,” says Spiby with a laugh.

Despite his dad’s advice, Michael actually set out to become a teacher. But his life changed one unforgettable day at Frankston Teachers College.

“I came out of a psychology lecture and heard

a band sound checking,” he recalls. “I stuck around for the gig and even though only about 20 people were there, they were just phenomenal. That gig instantly changed my career path.”

The band was Cold Chisel. Years later, Michael found himself in the Top 10 with Jimmy Barnes, with The Badloves and Barnesy’s classic cover of The Weight.

Michael is now working to his own schedule.

He’s also been in the studio with Tasmania’s acclaimed Southern Gospel Choir, co-producing their second album, High On A Mountain.

“I’ve always been a daydreamer,” Spiby says, “and that’s how I write songs. Things happen when I daydream – magic things. I can see why band members evolve into solo acts. I feel the only way I can make music is to follow my own instinct, without compromise, and see what comes out.”

It promises to be an exciting future for an artist with a fascinating past.

Check out Michael Spiby at Daveys Frankston on Thursday April 23. Tickets are $25, available at the venue and Moshtix.

Graze the Bays is ready to rumble.

Or at least appease that tummy rumble!

Graze the Bays - an event that celebrates the Peninsula’s great food and beverages with a core focus of seafood - is counting the sleeps until its debut.

The Masterclasses are one of the best value sessions in this year’s Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, with 1 hour sessions at just $25. Places are however limited.

Graze is designed to be just that – the opportunity to Graze on various tasty treats – whilst enjoying local wines, beers, ciders and spirits. The seafood selection includes Port Phillip Bay mussels, paella, local squid, sliders and more. With two Mornington Peninsula wine varietals having won more gold medals than anywhere else in Australia why wouldn`t you check out how good Peninsula wine producers are?

The seafood producers and businesses of the region are equally proud of their product; many are involved with the initiative to endorse the quality of our marine harvests with a specific event. Whilst for many the Bays molluscs may take centre stage, the ‘Graze Live Stage’ is predominantly dedicated to the preparation and cooking of all kinds of seafood. Masters have kindly donated the kitchen, and Graze the Bays is proud to have two Foxtel shows prevalent in the on stage

entertainment. Charlie Micallef, a local media personality will be filming with his team from Savage Seas and The Australian Seafood Show.

The beautiful and historic Morning Star Estate in Mount Eliza with its sweeping Bay views is the venue for this family friendly day out.

Graze is a free entry event, although parking is by gold coin donation and $5 tasting packs will need to be purchased for the consumption of alcohol.

Graze is a strictly non BYO alcohol and food event.

WYLIE & THE WILD WEST (USA) will be setting The Hallam Hotel on fire this Wednesday March 18, the coolest cowpoke going around.

Wylie Gustafson is a native Montanan singer-songwriter who lives the songs he writes. With three decades of writing, recording and performing under his belt, Wylie has matured into a dynamic talent, and has become one of the few authentic voices of the West. Forget everything you hate about modern country, this guy is old-school cool without being a tired period piece.

His friendly demeanor is born from his unpretentious life as a working class cow-horseman on the remote rangelands of the American high-plains.

For over the last 25 years, Wylie and his band, The Wild West, have performed their refreshing blend of cowboy, swing, folk and yodeling music worldwide.

Wylieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dynamic stage presence keeps getting him invited back to venues year after year. As a seasoned singersongwriter with over a dozen nationally distributed albums under his belt, Wylie has etched his presence onto the American music scene and is the originator of the High Plains Yodeling style which evokes the loneliness of his northern Montana home.

Tickets are from $27. Buy online or purchase at the venue.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Sorras win a thriller PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully SORRENTO gets another crack at a Provincial pennant after drawing on first innings with Long Island in the semi final on the weekend.

Resuming on the second day at 7/68 with star Nick Jewell still at the crease, Sorrento was eventually bowled out for 92, the same score Long Island made the day before.

Given Sorrento finished higher on the ladder, that was enough to get them through to the grand final.

Long Island administrators will still be regretting the error in clearing Brad Denny, which cost them the outright win against Rye and 20 points. These 20 points would have seen Long Island finish on top of the ladder and advance to the grand final after drawing with Sorrento.

Instead of clearing Denny from Peninsula Old Boys, where he played one game last season, they cleared him from Somerville. It was a tough call from the MPCA but the rules are the rules.

After drawing the semi final with Sorrento, the Islanders batted again

but conceded the match after falling quickly to 7/47.

Scott Phillips made a pair of ducks, however he did snare seven wickets, including a hatâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;trick that netted Anthony Blackwell, Jack Falck and Leigh Poholke.

On the opening day of the match, Blackwell snared 6/5 off 11 overs while Andrew King picked up 3/23.

The excitement in the match, other than 27 wickets falling, was a streaker!

Late on the second day in the other semi final between Peninsula Old Boys and Baxter, the game was evenly poised after POB won the toss and batted first.

The Old Boys made 9/224 in their 80 overs, Jon Forrest top scoring with 47, while Matt Hyden scored 38, Brandon Lawler 31 and Dylan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley 25.

Baxter lost their first wicket on the second day for 42, before Shane McComb was run out and Ben Matters was caught behind. At that stage Baxter was 3/65.

After tea on Sunday, Baxter had regained the upper hand at 3/46 with Daniel Warwick and Dale Irving still at the crease nearing their 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Evenly poised: It was a close match between Peninsula Old Boys and Baxter. Picture: Andrew Hurst

District games go to wire

DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE District semi finals still had plenty of life in them at tea on the second day.

While Somerville won on first innings against Seaford, Red Hill was still needing 30 runs with two wickets in hand in their match against Main Ridge.

Seaford needed 25 runs with one wicket in hand at the beginning of the second day of their match at Somerville.

However, Nick Simpendorfer could only add a further five runs to his overnight total of 39 before going out.

Seaford was bowled out for 97, giving Somerville a first innings lead of 17.

Somerville was cruising in its second innings at 3/63, however, had slumped to 7/94 at tea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lead of 123.

Given there were only 40 overs left in the match at that point, the Eagles were in the box seat.

There were some however who believed that a target of 140 off 20 overs would still be achieveable for Seaford, considering their batting line up.

In the other semi final, the all-conquering Red Hill was still 30 runs from victory at tea against Main Ridge on the second day.

The Hillmen were cruising at 2/70, chasing Main Ridgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 158, however, at tea were reeling at 8/128.

With Nick Esipoff still at the crease, anything was possible for the home side.

Brad Rossborough top scored for the Ridge with a half century.

At tea, Rossborough had claimed two wickets and Jason Albress had claimed three.

Box seat: Somerville were coming along nicely on the last day. Picture: Andrew Hurst Southern Peninsula News 10 March 2015

Panthers claw thrilling victory SUB-DISTRICT

Batting challenge: Seaford still needed 140 off 20 overs to claim a win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

To advertise in Southern Peninsula News contact:

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will play Rosebud in the Sub District grand final this weekend after each recording thrilling semi final victories last weekend.

After scoring just 101, Pearcedale successfully defended the total, rolling YCW in dramatic circumstances two runs short of the total.

The Stonecats resumed at 2/35 on Sunday but lost two quick wickets and the game was even once again.

Paul Bradley, Pat Falzon and Paul Fulton threatened to take the game away from Pearcedale, getting within 15 runs of the total before Bradley was caught and Falzon was trapped in front.

Andrew Kitson was removed for a duck and this left Fulton and his son Sam to get the half a dozen runs needed for victory.

Paul Fulton went for a quick single on the arm of Pearcedale skipper Kaine Smith, which left his 16-yearold son Sam short by at least two metres. There were another 40-odd overs left in the match.

YCW lost their last four wickets for 12 runs.

Shayne Gillings finished with seven wickets for Pearcedale after top scoring with 33 on the opening day.

At tea on the second day, Pearcedale was batting out the overs and were 1/17.

Rosebud beat Tootgarook on the first day of their semi final.

Tootgarook batted first and were bowled out for just 64.

Jason Nagel was sensational for the Buds with 6/13.

In reply, the Buds got to 5/65 at stumps, a lead of one.

The home side and flag favorites were eventually bowled out on the second day for 111, a lead of 46.
