41st Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day

Thursday 27th November 2014 12 noon shotgun start 207 Boneo Rd, Rosebud $65 including dinner www.rosebudcountryclub.com.au

41st Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day Thursday 27th November, 2014.

Teeing-off in the fight against cancer THE Rosebud community are practicing their swings in earnest ahead of the Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day on November 27.

Over four decades the event at Rosebud Country Club has raised $450,000 for Cancer Council Victoria’s work in research, prevention programs and support services.

The event originated in 1973 when friends Russell Wilson and Mick Drew organised the very first charity golf day to raise funds for cancer research.

Since then, it’s become one of the longest running charity golf events in Australia, clocking up more years than Cancer Council’s other major fundraising events, including Daffodil Day and Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Todd Harper, CEO of Cancer Council Victoria, praised the Club for its ongoing commitment and support.

“The Annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day has a very proud history and I thank the Rosebud Country Club, and the wider community, for its continuous support of Cancer Council Victoria.

“It’s only through the passionate efforts of our supporters that we can continue our work in improving cancer outcomes for all Victorians.”

Last year the event received incredible community support, raising $12,500. The club hopes this figure can be topped this year.

Funds raised help to support ground-breaking research, both at Cancer Council Victoria and externally in hospitals and universities.

“In 2013 we spent $23 million on research, funding 160 researchers looking at all kinds of cancer. It is cancer research like this that has helped contribute to an increase in cancer

survival by 20 percent in the past two decades,” Mr Harper said.

The Annual Charity Golf Day also supports Cancer Council Victoria’s prevention programs to encourage Victorians to reduce their cancer risk, and the organisations’ support services to help those affected by cancer.

“The wonderful thing about this event is that it provides a unique opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy a relaxed day of golf whilst supporting a cause that impacts thousands of Victorians,” Mr Harper said.

More than 200 golfers are expected to attend this year’s event, one of the most important on the Club’s calendar.

Rosebud Country Club supports Cancer Council Victoria

Todd Harper, CEO of Cancer Council Victoria.

ROSEBUD Country Club proudly announces the 41st Cancer Council Charity Golf Day which will be held on Thursday 27th November, 2014.

Entry is $65 which includes dinner after the game. Dinner only is available for $45 per person.

The day is all about raising much needed funds that go towards Cancer Council Victoria’s work in research, preventative programs and support services. It is one of the most important golf events on the club’s calendar.

The contributions from local businesses have been nothing short of amazing. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase these items through raffle or silent auction.

Last year, with the support from the local community, the day raised in excess of $12,500 for the Cancer Council of Victoria, and in excess of $450,000 since inception.

For more information and to book for the golf day or dinner, please call the Golf Shop on 5950 0888.

With an anticipated full field, the annual Cancer Research Charity Golf Day is open to all golfers. You don’t need a handicap – just the ability to enjoy a great day’s golf while supporting a terrific cause.

If you are a local business who would like to provide an auction item, please call Rosebud Country Clubs Marketing & Membership Manager Nicole Grace on 5950 0800 or mobile 0488 022 226 or email: rcc.marketing@rosebudcountryclub.com.au

Anger over ‘rushed’ Point lease Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE state government signing a 50year lease with Point Leisure Group for 64 hectares of Point Nepean National Park is a shameful decision and will be vigorously opposed, says park champion Kate Baillieu.

A government spokesman reportedly said the deal had been signed before the government went into caretaker mode in the lead-up to the state election on 29 November.

Point Leisure Group, headed by developer Richard Shelmerdine, wants to build a health and wellness retreat comprising hot springs, spa, restaurant, 108-room hotel, conference centre, and “wellbeing centre”, aiming to spend about $40 million over the next 20 years.

The leased area includes all historic buildings as well as various public areas including existing car parks, the parade ground, Wombat Oval and Jarman Oval.

Ms Baillieu said “a large number of high-powered people had coalesced around the issue and we’ll fight this tooth and nail”.

“This has been a shifty, confusing and completely unsatisfactory process,” she said. “The apparent haste of the lease signing is very curious.”

She said the deal contradicted the aims of the federal government when it handed over the Quarantine Station precinct to the state government in 2009 “for all Victorians in perpetuity”.

“This is not for the people. The developer and government have not demonstrated how the deal will preserve and protect this historic site.”

A state government spokesman reportedly said it was “confident in the availability of the geothermal resource” and that insurance for the state

had been built into the agreement.

“This agreement will see $40 million saved in management and maintenance costs over the 50-year term as a result of having a viable commercial tenant on site ensuring upkeep and maintenance of all historic buildings,” he said.

The lease might be extended “if stringent performance conditions are maintained and investment milestones are met”.

Shire staff back Gandel tourism plan David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au SHIRE councillors are considering a massive development proposal including a restaurant, cellar door, wine shop, art gallery and sculpture park on a Point Leo land parcel owned by the Gandel family.

The proposal is likely to spark spirited discussion at the council since, among other aspects, it involves “demolition, rebuilding and relocation” of a historic building, Kalimna Farm Cottage, as well as an “earthwall” outbuilding.

The report to councillors by shire planner Geoff Nicol states that the cottage, described as a heritage building, will be subject only to “partial demolition”, then restoration but the Gandel application states that Kalimna “is proposed to be demolished, rebuilt and relocated.

The Gandel application says Kalimna is not the original dwelling, is in poor condition, has been significantly altered since being built around 1903-05, and lacks architectural importance.

The rebuilt cottage and the earthwall outbuilding are “necessary to utilise the property’s full potential … and promote the heritage and cultural status of the site”, it states.

It points to its heritage expert Bruce Trethowan’s opinion that the proposed treatment of the buildings “will not detract from the significance of the site [and will] retain the historic character of the site with both buildings still understandable as late 19th and 20th century farm buildings”.

MONDAY NIGHT Bingo @ 7.30pm TUESDAY BUDGET BUSTER LUNCH DEAL $9 for members, $10 for visitors THURSDAY NIGHT Bingo @ 7.30 FRIDAY Bingo @ 11.30am & 1pm SATURDAY Bingo @ 11.30am & 1.30pm

The development is proposed for a land parcel of 6.6 hectares in the overall Gandel holding, far short of the green wedge rule of 40 hectares as the minimum lot size for a restaurant.

But, the Gandel application argues, special circumstances exist in the heritage overlay covering the property “whereby a permit may be granted to use a heritage place for a use which would otherwise be prohibited”.

Strategic planners appear to support this assertion, arguing in part that “the overall Gandell [sic] land holding [totalling some 65.5ha] is significantly larger than 40 hectares, and therefore the proposed variation (arguably) amounts to seeking approval without the formal consolidation of the lots...”

They say the applicant has agreed to legal measures over the entire Gandel land holding to ensure no further hospitality centres will be sought on the land, “in effect maintaining the minimum site area requirement under the green wedge zone”.

This could be regarded as a bold and ingenious effort to get around GWZ minimum lot size requirements that could, if successful, set a precedent leading to massive reduction of green zones. Neighbours could similarly apply to amalgamate two smaller blocks into one parcel of more than 40ha using the shire-proposed manoeuvre.

Because the combined land, at 65.5ha, is smaller than two 40-ha lots, a further restaurant application would fail under GWZ rules, pointing to the proposed legal undertaking as being no more than a gesture.

The applicant could – as the shire

prefers with small GWZ holdings – consolidate some or all the land titles to obviate the parcel size problem and conform to shire policy. However, this would preclude any future decision to dispose of the land parcels separately.

The Nicol report states the proposal is “unique” and “one of those rare occasions where a prohibited land use can be approved...”

It also deals with the prohibition on combining a 150-seat restaurant with a sculpture park, pointing to “the significance of the opportunity presented by the proposal”.

“Arrival at the crest of the site adjacent to the existing heritage house [Kalimna] enables an immediate appreciation of the experience that people will be able to have should council decide to support the application,” the report states.

“The heritage house will be relocated, restored and integrated within the sculpture park in a legitimate man-

ner, and this will also add a future experience.”

The shire’s heritage planner supports the relocation as “reasonable, subject to appropriate conditions”, according to the shire report to councillors.

Other factors councillors will likely discuss include the green wedge requirement that a restaurant must operate “in conjunction with agriculture”. The Gandel property is held on six separate titles, according to the shire report. A vineyard of about 22ha occupies one or more titles but it is difficult to tell if any of the vineyard is on the 6.6ha land parcel.

The application states the proposal “will be in conjunction with agriculture, natural systems, outdoor recreation facility and winery” but does not elaborate. Nor does it give any detail on the wine store, or what wines will be sold at the cellar door.

Green wedge rules do not allow a property to “borrow” agriculture from

neighbouring land, as implied by the “in conjunction” assertion.

The application, while referring to a 150-seat restaurant, mentions no anticipated patron numbers for the other facilities, such as the wine shop and sculpture park. It provides 152 car spaces and mentions patrons arriving by bus.

The two car parks would, at 2.4 patrons per car (the figure used at VCAT by Foster’s and Treasury Wine Estate for parking at T’Gallant) would provide for 365 patrons. The 2.6 patrons per car VCAT agreed to for the Red Hill Epicurean Centre lifts the Gandel patron figure to nearly 400.

The Nicol report to councillors does not appear to mention such figures.

But condition 19 in the officers’ recommendation to approve the development states that “Not more than 150 persons (not including staff) are permitted on the land at any one time”.

“This includes not more than 150 restaurant patrons, and includes all the uses and activities ... on the land.”

Family patriarch John Gandel, said to be Melbourne’s richest man with a $3 billion real estate fortune, is partowner of Chadstone shopping centre.

A year ago councillors led by Andrew Dixon and former Red Hill Ward representative Frank Martin voted to change part of the planning permit for the huge Gandel family house on the Point Leo land that otherwise would have cost Mr Gandel more than $800,000 in capital gains tax and stamp duty to consolidate two of the land parcels.

Tourist centre now more welcoming Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au REFURBISHMENT works at Dromana Visitors’ Centre will allow it to do a good job even better.

The centre caters to 50,000-60,000 walk-in visitors each year, and assists with 22,000 phone and email requests.

It is the only Level 1 accredited centre in the shire and has been accredited since 1999.

The 34 year old building is now more user friendly with a new roof, stormwater connection (for the first time ever), refurbished disabled public toilet, self-opening and wider doorways, new cabinetry and new pathways.

“The refurbishment creates greater accessibility, and improved brochure storage improves OH&S compliance,” tourism director Alva Hemming said.

“We have also managed to free up a small space for a meeting room for industry mentoring and training sessions.”

Former shire councillor David Jarman said the building was constructed in the early 1980s to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Rotary. The original concept - dreamed up by former Red Hill Consolidated School principal Vic Dart - was to build a log cabin-type structure for use as a visitor information centre.

In those days the shire had its own works department and the engineers got together on the project and ditched the log cabin idea in favour of the present besser brick building.

“When I arrived as the new tourism executive officer in January 1998, the building was almost totally occupied

by Parks Victoria staff, with a small area to the front of the building serving as a visitor information centre,” Ms Hemming said.

“The building then had no large front window, no exterior visitor information displays, and brochures inside were displayed in various piles atop a variety of benches and laminate tables.

“It was dark inside and the technology was limited. The centre housed Parks Victoria staff and a small team of visitor information services staff.

The main marketing team for Mornington Peninsula Tourism had their offices in Main St Mornington.

“I immediately set about creating light in the centre with a huge new window, new lighting and streamlining brochure displays so they were wall mounted, instead of the tabletop arrangement. The accommodation booking service - at the time manual with pencil and excel spreadsheet was automated and the marketing team moved in to work alongside the visitor information centre staff.”

Ms Hemming said she set about creating a ‘one-stop-shop’ for tourism in Dromana. The Parks Victoria team moved to new offices in Hinton St, Rosebud in 1999 or 2000, leaving the tourism team with more space.

“However, the building was old and our interior refurbishment went only a small way to creating a pleasant visitor experience,” Ms Hemming said. “The roof began leaking seriously and, despite several attempts to repair it, the shire realised that the situation was chronic and needed radical attention.

“Added to that, our OH&S and accessibility requirements had markedly

changed since the 1980s and the Visitor Information Centre had to conform to new legislation with a self-opening entrance, new paths and wider interior doorways.

“The days of expecting team members to store and lug 20kg boxes of brochures were over and we had to devise clever ways of storing brochures in drawers alongside the appropriate racks.”

The Mornington Peninsula tourism team provides visitor services seven days a week. The marketing team is also housed there as is the business events (conferencing) bureau. They provide an accommodation booking service, event ticketing service, indus-

try training and mentoring, tourism and visitation research, marketing and social media, tactical and brand campaigns and PR for the region.

The service is kicking goals: Just last week, Mornington Peninsula Tourism Regional Board won the Victorian Tourism Award for Destination Marketing for its innovative campaign ‘Wine Food Farmgate’.

Staff, employed by the shire, work in conjunction with the Peninsula Regional Tourism Board, Tourism Victoria and Tourism Australia. They include Ms Hemming, senior tourism officer Kellie Barrett, tourism officer (p/t) Lisa Caddy, visitor information centre coordinator Anne Marie Ha-

luszka, visitor information officer/ tourism officer Katherine Cooper, business events officer/visitor information officer Ebony Flett and visitor information centre officer (p/t) Sandra McMahon.

“Around 40 volunteer staff willingly give half a day a week to assist visitors to discover more about, and to experience, the Mornington Peninsula,” Ms Hemmings said.

The refurbishment was hard work – but worth it. “Packing up thousands of tourism business brochures was the easy part; unpacking and placing in our new brochure shelving and drawers took forever... but it was an absolute joy!”

Fishermen: nets ban ‘a stunt’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au COMMERCIAL fisherman plying their trade off Mornington and the Southern Peninsula are adamant the state government’s proposed netting ban is poorly thought out and smacks of “political expediency”.

They are angry at Premier Denis Napthine’s announcement at the Carrum Surf Life Saving Club last week that he will ban commercial netting in Port Phillip Bay. The Coalition says it will buy back all commercial licences within four years and has pledged $20 million to begin the process if re-elected at state elections to be held this month. The promise forms part of a $65 million package for a “better bay”.

Dr Napthine said the removal of commercial bay fishing would mean more fish for amateur anglers, who are estimated to number 720,000-$750,000.

“Our vision is for Port Phillip and Corio bays to be recreational fishing meccas for locals and visitors,” he said.

He said an independent panel would help decide how the buyback would be structured and commercial netting phased out.

The panel would consult with peak bodies such as Seafood Industry Victoria, Victorian Recreational Fishing (VRFish) and key stakeholders Future Fish, Australian Fishing Trading Association and others.

But Seafood Industry Victoria - a not for profit, non-government organisation representing the interests of the commercial fisherman – says the loss of the 42 licences will decimate jobs among fishermen and those in related industries.

“Does the government understand the effect this will have on jobs in the processing, wholesale and retail fish sectors?” executive director Johnathon Davey said.

“Do they realise the ban will fuel the thriving black market in whiting and snapper sold by ‘shamateurs’ that exists today?”

“This issue is not simply going to affect commercial fishermen. What about its impact on fish mongers and retail fish and chip shops in the main street?

“There will be considerably less flathead, snapper, calamari, whiting and other species available, while prices will increase as a result of supply shortages.”

Two Mornington brothers – perhaps now the last of four generations of commercial fishermen based on the peninsula – are downright angry at

Livelihood threatened: Neville and Dalton Hutchins are unhappy at Napthine government plans to ban commercial netting in Port Phillip Bay. Picture: Yanni

plans to remove their livelihood. They know no other trade.

“The proposed ban is a sign of a desperate government,” said Neville Hutchins, 62, who, with brother Dalton, 60, runs a fresh fish shop at Fisherman’s beach. Their family business began in the 1890s.

“There’s no need for it,” he said.

“Everything we do is environmentally sound, and there’s certainly no shortage of fish. The best seafood is right here.”

The brothers sell fresh snapper, salmon, whiting, wrasse and pike to buyers “all over the place” caught from their six metre ‘tinnie’. “Without people like us catching and selling fish from the bay it will all have to be imported,” Neville said.

“As it is, 70 per cent of the fish sold in shops and supermarkets is imported.”

The brothers believe the recreational catch is 10 fish to their one. “The fishing’s as good as it ever was. We go to the same places our grandfather

went and catch the same quantities,” Dalton said. “That’s proof of the industry’s sustainability.”

They point out that jobs will be lost “all the way up the chain” if the ban comes into effect. “Whoever we supply will be affected - the fishing boat crews, processors, fish shop assistants, waiters at restaurants …

“People don’t yet realise that all the ‘top table’ fish comes from the bay,” Neville said. “If we go there will only be fishermen from Lakes Entrance and Corner Inlet, and if we go they’ll be next.”

Dalton’s son, Scott, 15, was planning to be the family’s fifth generation of commercial fishers. “He’s keen as mustard,” his father said. “But it looks like it’s not to be.

“The government is treating fishing like a sport – but it’s our livelihood and our life.”

Another commercial fisherman whose job is on the line is Phil McAdam, based at Williamstown but who purse seine nets for pilchards,

sardines and anchovy “off Mornington and all the way down the southern peninsula”.

His produce is sold to fresh fish markets and as bait by recreational anglers.

“I have caught 100 tonnes in the past three months,” the third generation fisherman said. “If I am not allowed to fish in the bay it will all have to be imported because there is only one other operator, at Lakes Entrance, and he sells his catch as tuna food.”

Mr McAdam, 51, started as a 13-year-old and has “done nothing else but fish”.

He says the fishing “is as good as I remember” and scoffs at concerns the industry is unsustainable. “The past two months are as good as I have ever had.”

He says being weather-dependent, and having to spend two days processing and packaging his catch for every one day out fishing, means he cannot over-fish a finite resource.

Banning commercial netters would

also cause prices for popular snapper and whiting to “skyrocket” on a black market, he says. “There will always be people willing to sell them illegally.

“Look, I don’t like having my future hanging on an election result. It’s a ridiculous situation where only a handful of people want to get rid of us. About 7 per cent of the population are recreational anglers and, of that number, perhaps 1 per cent is anticommercial. They want to take the whole industry for themselves.

“We have been proven a sustainable industry by the Australian Conservation Foundation and we have always been open and transparent. This is just a political vote catcher.”

Seafood Industry Victoria chairman Harry Peeters said the government was being hypocritical: “Make no mistake, this is the compulsory removal of jobs by a government that, through its tenure and the campaign for the upcoming election, ‘is all about creating jobs’,” he said.

He asked why those who don’t fish for fun should have their ability to buy fresh Victorian fish removed from them. “Commercial and recreational fishing have coexisted in the bays for many decades and this is a poorly thought out policy for political expediency.

“It’s a resource sharing issue. This government’s answer is to give the entire share to the recreational fishermen. The millions of others entitled to a share of the resource and who currently access that share via commercial fishermen are now excluded.

What compensation are they going to be given?

“The Coalition says a new, independent panel is going to consult with every self-interest group, but there is no mention of the main stakeholder: the people of Victoria who buy fresh fish from the bays.

“Where does the government expect Melburnians to get their fresh fish from now?

“At present, the Victorian community can be confident that when they buy fresh Victorian seafood they are supporting local, small-scale fishing industries that are harvesting seafood in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner.

“The supply from the Port Phillip Bay commercial fishery needs to continue to ensure everyone is able to enjoy our fresh local produce.”

Mornington MP David Morris did not respond to a request for comment before publication deadline.

BILLIONAIRE trucking magnate Lindsay Fox will keep 45 metres of Point King Beach at Portsea after Mornington Peninsula Shire and the state government walked away from legal action and legislative change.

On Christmas Eve 2013, Mr Fox was granted the land by the state land titles office.

It generated a wave of public criticism and saw state planning minister Matthew Guy vow to bring in retrospective laws to stop Victoria’s coastline falling into private hands.

Mr Guy announced zoning changes in April but they have not stopped Mr Fox’s beach land grab.

In February, Mr Guy said the government would clarify the official location of the high water mark across the whole state.

In March he vowed to bring in retrospective laws to stop up to 140 waterside properties being extended onto beaches that have seen sand accumulate.

The issue of properties “owning” beaches dates back to the 1800s when governments regularly sold land abutting waterways. Revisions of land rules in 1905 and 1958 did not remove the waterway anomalies.

Landholders’ jetties are mostly out of the water even at high tide.

Now the government is blaming the shire for not pursuing Mr Fox in court but a shire investigation has confirmed the bollards are located within the property’s title boundary, do not impact beach access, and do not pose a risk to public safety.

“As a result, shire officers have formed the view that enforcement action is not warranted and would likely

Mr Fox used an obscure state government law that allows people with land facing beaches to increase the size of their properties when extra sand accumulates to claim the 2400 square metres, worth an estimated $5 million.

especially since the Port of Melbourne Authority dredged The Heads and the South Channel in 2008-09. Some of it has come from Portsea Beach, which has been massively eroded since 2009.

Mr Fox had been seeking the extra land since the late 1990s saying the socalled doctrine of accretion applied to his claim.

In 1999, Mr Fox erected bollards along the beach side of his property, generating an outcry from locals but no action by the state Labor government or the Liberal-Nationals Coalition elected in 2010.

Earlier this year Surveyor-General John Tulloch reportedly said beach granted to Mr Fox by the titles office was not Crown land, but this has been questioned by legal experts.

The News understands that the council has not given up on challenging Mr Fox’s claim and is seeking more information about the complex issue.

A council insider said the doctrine of accretion stated that any land claimed by a person must be a permanent increase. “Most of the extra sand has arrived since dredging,� they said.

Mr Fox’s neighbour, Kate Baillieu, criticised the shire for not enforcing a “a clear breach� of planning laws. “It sends a message that if you have a bit of dough and can threaten to take legal action then you can get away with anything.�

In March, Mr Fox told 3AW that the high tide water mark title was issued in 1872 and reconfirmed by the owners of the property in 1910.

Time and tide: Sand has been washed onto Point King Beach over the past 15 years but especially since dredging of Port Phillip Heads and the South Channel by the Port of Melbourne in 2008-09. It has enabled Lindsay Fox to legally claim a section of beach worth $5 million due to an obscure high water mark law.

lopment, reinforcing the newly released and more restrictive coastal strategy.

It means the shire would have to reapply for coastal consent if a fresh effort was made to use the foreshore.

The chances of getting such approval from either side of politics is zero as neither a pool, a gymnasium, a cafe nor a community hall are, as required, coastal dependent.

Curiously, the Smith letter did not appear to create among shire staff any sense that it should be sent urgently to councillors, despite the length and high profile of the pool saga or the significance of Mr Smith’s decision.

It was marked “received” by staff when it arrived on Friday 31 October but was provided to councillors only on Monday last week – the “holiday” before the Melbourne Cup – as a photocopy, part of the paperwork they get in the regular “Councillor Communicator” sheaf of documents that go to their pigeonholes.

“I’d have thought it was important enough to email to councillors on Friday,” one person closely involved in the pool matter said.

Not even mayor Celi was notified of the letter before Monday, despite it being addressed to her.

It is believed outgoing shire CEO Michael Kennedy was on sick leave on Friday.

NEPEAN HWY

THE final, formal act in the foreshore pool site saga took place on 30 October when coastal consent for the project was revoked by state environment minister Ryan Smith.

His letter, written at the request of Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors, killed the last flickering hope of the campaign to put the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) on Rosebud foreshore, and ended almost three years of acrimony among shire councillors.

The shire had been trying to win approval to build on the foreshore next to Rosebud Memorial Hall since 2006.

Multiple requests fell on deaf ears until the Brumby government was defeated by the Liberal-Nationals Coalition in 2010.

Mr Smith acted swiftly after receiving a letter from mayor Antonella Celi dated 14 October, responding just 16 days later. He was possibly motivated to end the matter before Tuesday evening last week, when the state government went into caretaker mode before the 29 November election.

Mr Smith wrote to Cr Celi: “You have advised that [the council] has voted that it no longer wishes to locate [the SPA] on coastal Crown

land and therefore no longer requires the consent issued under the Coastal Management Act 1995 to locate [the SPA] on the Rosebud foreshore.

“I hereby revoke the consent...”

He continued: “I understand that this has been a contentious issue within the community and I congratulate council on its dedication to actively engaging with the community in the decisionmaking process.

“I hope that the current decision will allow council to progress with the design and construction of an aquatic centre in the Rosebud area with the full support of the local and wider community.”

The “wider community” reference was significant. The shire had refused for years to seek the views of residents outside Rosebud regarding SPA, despite requests from successive ministers for evidence of broad community support.

Mr Smith concluded his letter by recommending that the shire “either update the Rosebud Coastal Management Plan” to reflect the SPA’s proposed new location or prepare a masterplan for the Rosebud central activity area, indicating that the pool complex is not on the foreshore, “to provide clarity to the community”.

His letter choked off almost any opportunities for foreshore deve-

Anger over rushed Pt Nepean lease Continued from Page 1 Point Leisure Group will now apply for water testing permits and drill to confirm the viability of geothermal water.

Opposition environment spokeswoman Lisa Neville reportedly said Labor would try to disallow the lease if it won the election. “The community had previously signed off on a masterplan that it felt fitted the existing footprint, protected native vegetation from clearing, and was sensitive to the values of the national park.”

Victorian National Parks Association executive director Matt Ruchel said community and environment groups were dismayed the lease had been signed on “the eve of the election caretaker period”.

“It raises more questions than it answers about a deal that will usher in unprecedented private use of the park,” he said.

“The development depends on the

success of finding spa water in the park. The lease agreement may be terminated if it is not found in the first two years, so it is surely premature to have signed a lease just a few weeks out from the election.

“Under pressure from the community, the government has backflipped on the issues of land subdivision and height limits. It will now prohibit subdivision and limit new buildings to the height of existing ones – and has belatedly included an opportunity for public comment on development plans.”

He said the government had paved the way for “insensitive and inappropriate development in Point Nepean National Park that will severely damage its values, including significant clearing of native vegetation for spa pools and fire management”.

“This agreement also locks the public out of many areas of Point Nepean and provides the impetus for similar proposals in other national parks.”

All in vain: A rally held at Point Nepean late last month called on the state government to delay signing a lease for development until after the election on 29 November but this has been ignored. Picture: Matthew Mackay

Action plan: Sue Williams, Carolyn Briggs, Peninsula Health cultural ambassador Shane Wright and board director Dr Laurie Warfe.

New direction on indigenous health MEDICAL treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at Frankston and Rosebud hospitals is being overhauled in an effort to improve health outcomes among the peninsula’s indigenous community.

Peninsula Health chief executive Sue Williams said the organisation’s just-released Reconciliation Action Plan aimed to address factors that contributed to poor health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on the Mornington Peninsula.

She said plan was an “important collaborative document” that outlined how the entire organisation aimed to make healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples more accessible.

“We know that poor health outcomes are having a detrimental effect on the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and the Reconciliation Action Plan is an important step forward as part of the broader National response,” Ms Williams said.

She said Frankston Hospital had the highest percentage of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander hospital admissions in the southern metropolitan region, with 42 per cent of the region’s admissions.

“Our hospitals at Frankston and Rosebud also have the highest percentage (56 per cent) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander presentations to an emergency department

in the region,” she said. Peninsula Health’s action plan was forged in partnership with the region’s traditional custodians who helped identify how services and programs were culturally appropriate and better met the needs of the indigenous community, Ms Williams said.

Boon Wurrung Foundation senior elder Carolyn Briggs said Peninsula Health’s Reconciliation Action Plan linked with the “shared aspirations of the traditional custodians and community”.

“Peninsula Health understands that demonstrating respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is an important part of the reconciliation process,” Ms Briggs said.

CEO exit ends Kennedy era at shire ANALYSIS Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE demise of Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has been rapid and total.

On Friday, Dr Kennedy will exit the shire offices in Rosebud for the last time after almost 16 years in the top job. He has gone from a rooster to a feather duster in just a matter of months.

In August, the 11 councillors told the man known as “The Coach”, who had ruled the shire with an iron glove, they would be advertising his job for the first time since his appointment in 1999. He decided to apply.

Dr Kennedy had managed to convince a majority of councillors, technically his employer, that they need not advertise his position in 2003, 2008 and 2011 but pressure had been mounting for almost a decade to “test the CEO market”.

The 2003 and 2008 appointments riled sections of the community including ratepayer groups.

One member of a Tyabb ratepayers group, Peter Davis, wrote to Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer in 2009 to complain about the CEO’s two reappointments and the performance review element of his contracts as well as the lack of cooperation from the shire’s governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck when Mr Davis asked to see the CEO’s contract This triggered months of controversy involving the Victorian Government Solicitor, Local Government Minister Richard Wynne, local Liberal MPs Neale Burgess and David Morris, the Municipal Association of Victoria, consultants FOI Solutions, shire lawyers, two mayors (2008 mayor Anne Shaw and 2009 mayor David Gibb), and Tim Ginnane SC, who had provided a legal opinion for the shire (he was later appointed a judge).

The shire was slapped on the wrist and ordered to review its freedom of information processes and procedures, including recordkeeping and records management, as well as its conflict of interest policy. It was advised to consider counselling Dr Kennedy in relation to his conflict of interest in seeking legal advice regarding an FOI request for documentation relating to his employment.

The upshot was the shire’s FOI consultants said everything was hunky dory, Mr Buck received some kind of counselling, Dr Kennedy received none, and in January 2010 Local Government Victoria said the CEO’s contracts were valid.

The decision to not advertise in 2008 and 2011 was not unanimous but the council always tried to project a united front, and councillors who wanted his job advertised kept quiet in public.

The same has occurred this year but The News understands all 11 councillors agreed to advertise his job, a stunning loss of support for the CEO. This came as a great surprise to many council watchers as Dr Kennedy had always received strong backing from long-time councillors David Gibb, Anne Shaw and Bev Colomb as well as in more recent times from 2012 councillors David Garnock and Andrew Dixon.

Former councillors who supported Dr Kennedy whenever his contract came up for renewal included Bill Goodrem (who was effectively replaced by Hugh Fraser in 2012) and Frank Martin (who stood down earlier in the year due to ill health and was replaced by Tim Wood at a by-election in August).

Dr Kennedy knew his time was up late last month when he was told his name was not on the short list of about 12 candidates provided by recruitment firm Slade Partners.

The pendulum had swung rapidly and Dr Kennedy had lost his support. He was bitterly disappointed and took a few days of sick leave

before deciding not to work out his $350,000 annual contract, which expires next February.

But why has his fall been so rapid? Or was it rapid? There have been three key moments – the 2009 Tyabb complaints and their aftermath, when barrister Hugh Fraser was elected to the council in late 2012, and when Frank Martin was replaced by retired County Court judge Tim Wood three months ago.

Cr Fraser brought a new era of forensic examination of the shire’s executive team, the reports it produced and the decisions it made.

He emboldened councillors to take a harder line, look more closely at major issues and not just accept council officers’ decisions.

He started a “revolt” that saw the divisive Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) moved off the foreshore site at Rosebud. He brought into sharper focus the shire’s substantial debt. He used his barrister’s skills to question the status quo, all the while without once raising his voice.

But he could not alter the fact that he and the so-called progressives had five of 11 votes.

When push came to shove, six beat five.

Cr Wood changed the balance of power in late August when he won a fascinating by-election contested by 17 candidates, a record number in one ward since the shire was formed almost 20 years ago.

It was a stunning outbreak of democracy and a far cry from the nadir in 2008 when six out of 11 councillors were returned unopposed, triggering the interest of the Victorian Electoral Commission and eventually leading to a change from 11 single-councillor wards to three multicouncillor and three single-councillor wards (and giving new candidates a better chance of winning).

Complaints about Dr Kennedy’s style of management had been occurring for many years, both from within and outside the organisation.

Current and former councillors had complained that Dr Kennedy, who holds a doctorate of business administration, was not communicating effectively with councillors, showed a lack of empathy, and was not allowing councillors to be involved in essential decision-making.

He called the shire “my council” and “my organisation”. If Dr Kennedy did not support a project, it was unlikely to progress. He was accused of micro-managing issues large and small to their detriment.

The disquiet over ever-rising rates, increasing debt, and lack of spending on crucial infrastructure has reached a crescendo in recent times.

The council has become increasingly dysfunctional since 2012 when state environment minister Ryan Smith gave the shire in-principle coastal consent to build SPA on the foreshore at Rosebud, six years after the shire’s first request.

Despite Dr Kennedy’s claims that he and senior officers were “like Switzerland”, that is, neutral, on the SPA issue, it was commonly held that a narrow majority of councillors and the executive wanted the $40 million plus aquatic centre built on the foreshore rather than inland.

In September 2012, the council made an extraordinary move at the suggestion of Dr Kennedy – it bought Rosebud Central shopping centre for $5.2 million as an alternative site for SPA to take the heat out of the controversy and remove it as a negative issue before the election in October. It also bought or put its dibs on four commercial properties facing Ninth Ave at the rear of the shopping centre, needed to consolidate the precinct.

To pay for the purchases, the shire sold big blocks of land in Rosebud, Rosebud West and Mornington as well as housing blocks in Blairgowrie, Portsea, Rye and Hastings.

a former Shire of Mornington councillor and mayor, was also vocal in calling for the CEO’s job to be “tested” on the employment market in both 2008 and 2011. He criticised councillors in 2011 for not advertising the job.

“Whether you are pro or anti Dr Kennedy, the council should find who’s available,” he said.

Mr Cooper, a long-time Mt Eliza resident, said any well-run business would advertise the CEO’s

position. “From one end of the Mornington Peninsula to the other, most ratepayers would expect it to be advertised. “After people have been in the top job for a number of years, sometimes you need a fresh face.”

On Thursday, he told The News that advertising the CEO’s job was “good for the municipality”.

“We need fresh blood not just at the CEO level.

“I will be very interested to see who they choose for the role and what controls they have over the position. Let’s hope the new CEO doesn’t treat councillors as just a nuisance.”

Mr Cooper said Dr Kennedy had been on the short list for CEO of the City of Geelong. Dr Gillian Miles, a state government bureaucrat most recently with the Department of Transport, was appointed mid-August.

MICHAEL Kennedy, who turned 61 mid-year, came to the Mornington Peninsula in 1993 and served one year as CEO of the former Shire of Hastings prior to the Kennett government’s forced amalgamation of the 210 Victorian municipalities into 78 in December 1994.

After amalgamation he was CEO of the City of Boroondara (formerly Kew, Camberwell and Hawthorn) from 1995 to 1999 before returning to the peninsula in 1999 to become CEO of the “super” shire formed from Hastings, Flinders and Mornington.

Prior to local government he was in the shipping industry, as a director and general manager of Coastal ExpressLine and as a senior manager at ANL.

LETTERS Foreshore saved ENVIRONMENT Minister Ryan Smith has decided to revoke his coastal management consent for the use of the Rosebud foreshore as the location of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

This is a landmark decision and I thank the minister for his decisive action following the council’s decision that it no longer requires the use of the foreshore for this development.

The minister has congratulated the council on its dedication to actively engage with the community in the decision-making process.

The movement to “Save Rosebud Foreshore” had its genesis in the public meeting at Rosebud Memorial Hall organised by Cr Pittock and myself in May 2012. I thank Dr Alan Nelsen, president of Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, and Colin Watson, president of Nepean Ratepayers Association, who led lobbying of the council and government.

I also thank all those in the community and the council who have supported the movement to “Save Rosebud Foreshore” and voted for a decisive change in the council.

The contentious issue of a pool on the Crown land foreshore has held Rosebud back for nearly 15 years. The council can now get on with long overdue invigoration of the foreshore and the retail, commercial and local government heart of Rosebud.

Council officers have acted quickly to bring forward to the council a number of creative options for immediate invigoration of Rosebud and I look forward to these being rolled out by council in the coming months.

Beware of roos JUST a warning to people who drive along Craigie Rd in Mt Martha near Moorooduc Highway late at night – beware of kangaroos.

I was coming home at about 11pm recently and missed the first kangaroo but collected the second with extensive damage done to my four-

wheel drive.

I have lived here for 30 years, but this was the first kangaroo sighting.

I contacted the police and was advised that there are a lot of kangaroos in this area, near New Peninsula Baptist Church, and it was the second call they’d had in two days.

I guess it won’t be long before warning signs are erected.

State park not Luna Park IT was interesting to read Simon McKeon’s take on the objections to his Skylift chairlift proposal, which are currently being heard in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (“Skylift permit goes to VCAT”, The News, 4/11/14).

According to Mr McKeon, the main objections to the project centre on the top station being built at the summit. In fact, the main objections to the proposal centre on its inappropriate size and scale.

The gondolas referred to in the planning application will seat eight people, quite a bit larger than the quaint gondola pictured in the artist’s impression. A massive 17-metre pylon will dwarf the current lookout at the summit in order to deliver these gondolas across Arthurs Seat Rd to the huge top station, which will house a 100-seat cafe.

The lower station is also built on an intrusive scale that will dominate the entrance to Arthurs Seat State Park. Skylift will operate from 8am till 11pm, seven days a week throughout the year, causing noise, parking and traffic problems.

A range of bushfire safety issues have not been adequately addressed. Residents are not opposed to the chairlift being built on the original footprint, but we are very concerned that this precious environment, which has been enjoyed by generations of Victorians, will be lost forever.

Ugly fruit just as tasty Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SORRENTO fruit shop is pushing the benefits of fruit and vegetables that are, well, ugly.

Scicluna’s, at 31 Ocean Beach Rd, wants customers to embrace the idea that a few blemishes doesn’t make fruit or vegetables bad. They just don’t look as good.

Fruit and vege manager Johnny Giarrusso – who’s had 20 years’ experience in the trade – said every year thousands of tonnes of blemished produce was unnecessarily ploughed back into the soil because it was regarded as unsaleable.

“It may not look perfect but it is just as tasty – just as good for you,” he said.

“Yet this waste is all based on the buyers’ perception. People have got it into their heads that if fruit or veges doesn’t look perfect then they won’t buy it.

“But that is causing so much waste and also pushing up prices because there is less stock getting to market.

“The Ugly Fruit idea means the customer gets a saving and the grower doesn’t have to throw out fruit.”

Mr Giarrusso said supermarkets “had too much say” in what growers were able to sell and that their marketing campaigns had made buyers super sensitive. “Any fruit that has even minor markings is rejected,” he said.

The result is that one in every four pieces of fruit is thrown out by a grower due to imperfections in appearance.

“This has caused prices to rise because there is less stock available,” he said. “Yet, if we can manage to change people’s attitudes there will be more stock and prices will fall.”

The business buys a wide range of fresh produce from growers E.R. Hawkes and Son at Boneo and Gazzola Farms at Somerville.

Mr Giarrusso said he sometimes “felt sorry” for the growers who had to battle the weather and

all kinds of impediments “before a big proportion of their produce is knocked back by the supermarket chains”.

“This just shouldn’t happen,” he said.

Scicluna’s is selling “ugly avocadoes” – with minor blemishes – for half the price of their better looking cousins. Mr Giarrusso said he hoped to try selling ugly citrus fruits and apples next.

DOORS OPEN FROM 7.30PM

Police moves on hold until review completed Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Inspector Karen Nyholm has said no decision would be made regarding the movement of police to the new Somerville station until an internal review had been completed.

Concern over possible reduced police numbers at southern peninsula stations was the subject of a vocal public meeting attended by 140 people at Rosebud Memorial Hall last Wednesday night.

It had been called to protest the possible reallocation of 31 traffic operations, CIU and uniform police from stations at Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Dromana to the new 150-man, $16.3 million station which is expected to open in March.

Speakers pointed to their concerns about the loss of frontline police from those stations – especially over the busy summer holiday period.

“Superintendent Neil Paterson [Division 4 Local Area Commander] and I attended the meeting and we were happy to respond to community concerns and questions but, disappointingly, were not invited to speak by the organis-

ers,” she said.

However, meeting organiser Barry Irving said “everyone at the meeting was welcome to speak”.

“I addressed my comments to those police present, and a member of the public even asked if they would like to respond, but they chose not to,” he said.

Inspector Nyholm said later that comments made at the meeting relating to police numbers over this year’s summer holiday season were “not accurate”.

“Several months of planning each year goes into preparing the police response for the summer period on the peninsula,” she said.

“Victoria Police recognises the influx of the population impacts on public order, family violence and road safety and plans to ensure resources are obtained to meet this demand.”

Inspector Nyholm said this summer there would be an increase in uniform police members at Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Dromana. She said bike and beach patrols with the all-terrain vehicle would be conducted and police would conduct various targeted oper-

ations throughout this period.

“Operation Campaware is a proactive measure by police to provide support and advice to campers along the foreshore area about thefts from the camp site and vehicles, wilful and obscene crimes, road safety and general local laws,” she said.

“The operation has been well received by campers in previous years and involved our crime prevention office and our youth resource officers.

“Also, various road safety operations will be run throughout the summer period targeting drink and drug driving, as well as speed and other offences that contribute to serious injury and fatal collisions.”

Inspector Nyholm said extra police resources would be allocated on New Year’s Eve and Australia Day - two of the biggest days on the peninsula. “A large contingency of uniform members are drawn from the southern police region, and they will be supported by the mounted branch, Razon taskforce which covers licencing, and divisional intelligence unit,” she said.

Q REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

PARKINSON’S DISEASE RESEARCH AT ST JOHN OF GOD FRANKSTON REHABILITATION HOSPITAL Parkinson’s Disease is the second most common neurological disorder in Australia with 64,000 Australians diagnosed with the disease in 2011.

Parkinson’s Disease is a neurological disorder affecting the motor nervous system altering coordination and movement.

People with Parkinson’s Disease experience progressive declines in mobility that can be attributed to the decrease in speed and size of movements. It is often associated with impaired walking and balance reducing quality of life and as a result many Parkinson’s Disease sufferers become relatively immobile and deconditioned.

There is a need to develop enjoyable therapeutic interventions and exercises, where the risk of falling is decreased. Research is required to GHWHUPLQH WKH IHDVLELOLW\ DQG HIÀFDF\ of interventions such as hydrotherapy on the Parkinson’s population.

Professor Meg Morris from Latrobe University commented “This collaborative research project between St John of God Frankston

We are measuring people walking over ground with and without visual cues and attention strategies, and then measuring them in the water. We are particularly interested in people with freezing of gait and early results suggest that freezing is less severe and sometimes absent in the aqueous environment. The implications for Allied Health Therapies and quality of life are being investigated.�

FMP BUSINESS BREAKFAST SERIES Class above: Peninsula School student Piper Harrison, 13, in action at Jan Juc during las Sunday’s Subway Summer Surf Series, where she won the under 16 girls division.

Teen surf star is no Pipsqueak SHE may be only 13 years old, but Mt Eliza schoolgirl Piper Harrison is already making big waves on the national junior surfing circuit.

The current Victorian Under 14 state champion put in another standout performance last Sunday at the Subway Summer Surf Series at Jan Juc where she outperformed older competitors to win the under 16 girls final.

Continuing her recent strong run of performances, Harrison revelled in the large conditions, scoring a heat total of 14.17 to beat Jan Juc local Grace Day. In deteriorating conditions with a 4-5 foot swell, Harrison started Sunday’s final strongly scoring 7.50 in the opening minutes before backing up with a 6.67 point ride.

The Peninsula School student nicknamed Pipsqueak will represent Victoria in the under 14 girls division at the upcoming Australian Junior Surfing Titles at Yallingup in Western Australia in

December.

Phillip Island’s Courtney Dunlop won the under 18 girls division, while Noah Cooney from Lennox Head in NSW took out the under 18 boys.

Dunlop, the current Victorian under 18 girls champion, took control of the final early on with a 7.50 ride in the opening minutes.

Although she was unable to find a good backup ride, Dunlop took the final over Zoe Clarke of Jan Juc, who could not find a good enough ride in the dying minutes to take the lead.

In the under 18 boys final, Cooney was a standout throughout the day dealing with the challenging waves and winds.

Placing second was local Tane Bowden with a heat total of 11.67.

Bowden earlier took the crown in the under 16 boys final with a heat total of 13.67 points ahead of Max Lazarus from Point Lonsdale.

Red fever fires up the bays

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro AH yes, the fickle guardian of our Bays has being playing havoc with fisherman’s plans.

Spring weather is nature’s closed season. However when conditions have been good anglers have getting on the fish.

Snapper: In both Port Phillip and Western Port, the Reds are firing and with the state of the ramps it’s a fair assumption that the whole of Victoria is gripped by the Red Fever.

In Western Port, Joes Island, Eagle Rock, Lysarghts and Cornelia are seeing some great catches.

Best baits are fresh squid and flesh baits, however the humble pilchard and USA squid have also been a reliable back up. With fish biting on the change of tide as well as the run anglers are getting plenty of opportunity the get amongst the fish.

In Port Phillip, the snapper have been showing up everywhere. Hot spots have been Mornington, Mt Eliza, Seaford, Rickets Point and Carrum to name just a few.

The best bites have been on the change of tide, again while fresh baits have been best, pilchards and USA squid have been a reliable back up. Burley has been used to great effect in Port Phillip, remember a little bit often goes a long way.

Soft plastics have also accounted for a lot of snapper, with the best times being during the middle of the day, making them a good option for the active angler looking to change things up a bit.

Whopper: Thierry Lepoigneur with a snapper from Yaringa Boat Hire.

For those stuck land based Mornington is the pick of the area with a number of snapper landed this week to over 6kg.

Gummy sharks are also about in reasonable numbers in both bays, while most are snapper by catch those fishing near the entrances are targeting and landing some monsters up to 30kg!

Whiting are back! Tyabb bank in Western Port has been best, while the waters off Rosebud have also produced for both boat and land based anglers. A few locals at Mornington have been getting amongst the “Ting”, the areas of Bird Rock and Mt Eliza are the choice locations for those fishing the reef edges. Pippies, mussels and fresh squid are the best baits.

Squid continue to be good in both bays, some days they are easier than others, however those fishing the reefs and grass beds are getting amongst the inkers! In Port Phillip fish in 2-4m using a 2.0-3.0 jig and in Western Port fish 3-5m with 3.03.5 jigs.

The last few weeks have also seen some quality flathead landed, while the usual small rats are ever present the occasional 40cm plus model is making a welcome appearance. The bigger fish have been in shallower water less than 8m.

While the above mentioned are most people’s prime targets, baracouta, salmon, pike, leather jacket, red mullet and a whole lot more are all waiting an anglers offerings, so pick your weather window and get out on the water!

Tight lines and calm seas.

Southern Peninsula News 11 November 2014

MT. ELIZA & RYE

THEY’RE at the end of our bodies and often at the bottom of our priorities. But whilst most of the time we don’t give our feet a second thought, when something goes wrong with them it can be debilitating.

Our feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our physical activity, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common. What many people aren’t aware of is that our feet can affect and cause problems in the rest of our bodies including; ankles, knees, hips, backs and necks. Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored.

Problems left untreated almost always get worse but there is often a simple solution, if you get the right advice and treatment. A Podiatrist who has specific expertise in musculoskeletal issues is the best person to help with any foot and leg pain or discomfort.

Dr. Tim Kirwan, from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading Musculoskeletal Podiatry practices focused on assisting pain, injury and degenerative issues says, “People often endure painful conditions for far too long.

They assume nothing can be done but, in fact, most condi-

tions are extremely treatable.

Even many patients that have been told, there is no solution or that surgery and/or medication are their only options, we are now able to treat with great success. Recent medical advances are enabling us to treat most foot and leg problems quickly, easily, effectively and naturally.“ Foot + Leg Pain Clinics keep up-to-date with the latest in medical research and treatments and take a personal and holistic approach to ensure patients get results.

Dr. Kirwan explains, “I know from personal experience what it’s like to suffer

from foot and leg pain but you don’t have to put up with it.

With the right diagnosis and treatment from a practitioner that treats the cause and not just the symptoms, you can achieve successful long-term outcomes.”

If you suffer foot or leg pain & discomfort, bunions, heel pain, injuries or degenerative issues including arthritis, you can get expert assistance at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics. They have clinics right across Melbourne including RYE and MT ELIZA. Mention this article at your consult and get $50 off your initial consultation. Call 1300 328 300.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A week of bad Frankston accidents Compiled by Melissa Hodge TODAY (Saturday) the Somerville Social Club will give a lecture by Mr Batchelor, from New Guinea, on “The Empire Tableaux”. Members of the club will be admitted free, non-members admission 1s. *** MR Stanley Rogers, one of the employees of the Frankston Post Office met with an accident while waiting at the railway station on Thursday evening, by falling off the platform onto the railway, resulting in a fracture of a bone in the right arm, above the wrist. *** MISS Rosa Alba completely captured the House, at a Ballarat concert recently. The local paper said that Rosa Alba’s rendering of “Dear Bird of Winter” was vociferously received. This item will be sung at the Choral Concert on December 5th 1914. Don’t miss it. *** THE anniversary of the Frankston Methodist Sunday School takes place on Sunday next when special sermons will be preached by the Rev. R. Jackson in the morning and Rev. W. V. Hunt in the afternoon and evening. The children will also sing specially selected hymns which they have been fastidiously practicing for some time. On the Monday morning a public meeting will be held in the church for which a good programme has been arranged. *** MR Win Gregory, of Frankston,

met with a very painful accident on Friday last, while out for a day’s fishing at Davey’s Bay in company with Messrs F. Burton and B. Young.

They had lighted a fire to boil a treacle tin of water to make tea and while in the act of lifting the tin off the fire, the steam burst the lid off and the steam and water flew up into Mr Gregory’s face, severely scalding him.

He at once proceeded home and the services of Dr Maxwell were requisitioned who at once applied the usual remedies.

We are pleased to say that the sufferer is progressing satisfactorily towards recovery though it will be some time before the marks of the accident are gone. *** THE two Cup Steeplechases run at Flemington last week were won by that brilliant steeplechaser, Swedish Lad, spotted on each occasion by Mr Claude Grice, of Frankston.

This makes Swedish Lad seventh successive victory and on Saturday, carrying 12st 71bs, he ran the three miles one furlong (the National distance) in 6 mins, 29 secs, which is six seconds slower than Zephuron’s National record for the same distance.

The public appeared much disappointed when Zephuron was scratched for both the above events, the reason being assigned to the hardness of the ground, and the risk in consequence of a breakdown.

Swedish Lad pulled up very lame

after Saturday’s contest. *** THE S.S. Indrapura, which is due to arrive in Melbourne about the 23rd November, is bringing to Victoria from Great Britain a number of men and lads who will be available for employment on farms or in other work immediately upon arrival.

The party includes 59 men and 108 lads, and the Immigration Bureau of 555 Flinders Street, Melbourne, is now receiving applications from farmers or other country employers who may be requiring labor, and will be glad to have early advice of any openings available.

The men are experienced in farm work and a few of them, who are married, will be available for engagement with their wives as married couples. *** THE following most flattering notice we cut from the Sydney Bulletin of Miss Rosa Alba who is given a complimentary concert by the Frankston Choral Society, on 5th December.

“Rosa Alba is a gentle lass of a little lady who occasionally lifts a nice soprano voice in charity’s aid.

Some mission movement induced the songstress to reveal the dimensions of her gift on a recent evening, and before the entertainment had expired she had to take shelter from the bouquets.

In fact she was such a success that people are advising her to take her warble to a bigger market.

Miss Alba, who is beset with good looks, bears an embarrassing resemblance to Gaby Desbys the hussy who flirted with ex-King, Manoll when that juvenile’s kingdom was bursting”. *** A NOVELTY for Frankston in the shape of an American Tea will be held in the Park this (Saturday) afternoon and evening, the proceeds going towards reducing the debt on brass band instruments.

The novelty for Frankston in the the modus operandi of this tea appears to be that those who attend are expected to take a gift and at the same time purchase some of the numerous articles that are on view for sale.

Diversions will be given in the shape of a Xmas tree, shooting gallery, and other favorite amusements, and the band will play selections during the afternoon.

Those doubtless who attend, will enjoy a pleasant afternoon’s amusement, besides assisting a well deserving cause to clear itself of debt. *** ON Sunday afternoon last Rev. P. E. Watts met with a very painful accident, which was very luckily not attended with more serious results.

While travelling from the Vicarage to the local church, his motor cycle struck some loose metal and threw him heavily to the road, causing some nasty cuts and bruises about the face and hands. We wish him a speedy recovery.

*** ON Sunday next, 22nd, the Archbishop of Melbourne will conduct the Order of Confirmation service at All Saints Church.

Quite a large number of young people have made preparations for being confirmed. The service will commence at three o’clock in the afternoon. *** IN the report of the All Nations Fair under this heading, in last issue, it was inadvertently omitted that Mrs Howell took a leading part in the management of the produce stall and also that very valuable assistance was provided in, the tea rooms by Mesdames Holly, Steer and Mills senior. *** THE Frankston Progress Association held their usual monthly meeting in the hall on Wednesday evening.

From Constable McCormack enquiries are being made with regard rubbish cleared on the beach side of Oliver’s Hill.

Seconded by Mi McComb, and carried.

Mr Hay spoke of the bad smells arising from some of the drains in Frankston, and suggested that the council be asked to get same tarred.

He also suggested that the bathing boxes on the beach have signboards on them signifying the ladies’ and gentlemen’s boxes.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 November, 1914.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Monkey sarong... but oh so right

By Stuart McCullough SOMETIMES you’ve got to confront your past. For me, the pain of my turbulent youth can best be summarized in just one word: Monkey. It was a television show that screened on ABC on weekday afternoons. In a Wheel of Fortune world, Monkey was utterly berserk. For starters, the eponymous character is born out of an egg perched on a mountaintop. Say what you will about afternoon TV programming, but you don’t get that with Baby John Burgess. It also had a cracking theme song that claimed our hero was the ‘punkiest monkey that ever popped’. Who were we to argue? It was, by far, the strangest most bizarre thing we had ever seen. Of course we loved it.

Monkey had a magical staff by which I mean a stick rather than an admin assistant and a receptionist. He also had a set of a-grade quality sideburns. Drafted by Tripitaka for a quest to retrieve holy scriptures and return some overdue videotapes, Monkey was joined by Pigsy and Sandy as he battled the odds to fulfil his destiny. He was also able to summon up clouds on which he could fly and this, by any measure, was incredibly cool.

But there was a problem – Monkey was based (albeit loosely) on Buddhist philosophy, except for the theme song that was based on general awesomeness. Suspicious of these influences and concerned that we were being indoctrinated, we were banned from watching Monkey. That my brother and I had attempted to replicate some of the fight scenes using a broom and

PAGE 36

the vacuum cleaner probably didn’t help much. We would never see Monkey again.

In the town of Ubud in Bali is a monkey forest. I don’t know whether Pigsy and Sandy will be there too, but today’s the day I find out. After several days of massage, reading and generally not doing very much, we have decided to see the sights. We’ve hired a driver for the day and are ready for adventure, by which I mean I’m covered in sunscreen. But before we get to the monkey forest, there are some temples to visit.

I rarely wear a dress. I kid myself

Southern Peninsula News 11 November 2014

that this is strictly a comfort thing but the cold hard truth is that I avoid them because, when push turns to sartorial shove I’m concerned about sticking out. I choose to conform rather than confront. However, this conservative approach to fashion did not prevent me from wearing torn jeans for much of the nineties, under which I had sewn pieces of paisley patterned material. I had thought that this made me look super cool. With the benefit both of hindsight and photographic evidence, I now concede that I was drastically mistaken. Given the choice between wearing those jeans and a high quality

skirt, I’d give serious consideration to the latter.

When in another country, it’s important to observe the local customs.

In Bali, this mostly means driving a scooter like a maniac and squeezing limejuice onto every meal. It also means wearing a sarong whenever you visit a temple. Given that I forgot to pack a sarong, our guide has a couple of ‘loaners’ on hand. Mine is green and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it makes me look dashing in a very man-dress kind of way. It’s surprisingly comfortable.

Between temples, we are pulled over by the police who, after speaking to the driver, are paid an amount of money.

This is Bali’s biggest problem: corruption. The police put up roadblocks and demand cash. The money is then spent on local infrastructure projects such as lunch. Locals are dismayed whenever they’re intercepted and take circuitous routes to avoid these improvised tollways. We see plenty of countryside and rice fields. The strangest thing I discover is Kopi Luwack, which is a form of coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive tract of Toddy cat. Yuck.

We let our guide decide where we have lunch. This, as it turns out, is a rookie mistake. In Australia, there’s a place called Food Star that Kate’s grandparents are fond of. It’s one of those ‘all you can eat’ kind of experiences rather than a gastronomic wonderland. Our driver abandons us at the Indonesian equivalent of Food Star.

It’s likely that he will receive some

kind of commission for doing so. The food, frankly, looks as though it’s been prepared using the Kopi Luwack technique.

When we reach the Monkey forest, I am told that I may now remove my sarong. I’d become accustomed to it. But as I remove the garment, I realise my mistake. My pants are black. The tshirt I’m wearing is bright yellow. I’m about to enter an area overrun with thousands of monkeys and I have, it seems, dressed like a giant banana.

They’re everywhere. Within moments I am surrounded. Surely they will realise that I am not a piece of oversized fruit? I see another tourist.

He has a headband with a camera attached. This man has lured a monkey to his shoulder by placing a piece of fruit on it. The creature has crawled along the man’s shoulder, eaten and then deployed the Kopi Luwack method down his shirt. Granted, the man seems a little obnoxious and if I was a monkey I might have done the same thing. But I take it as a warning – it’s time to make like a banana and split.

Using all my magical powers, I summon up a cloud and leap on it without a moment to lose. Subtitles appear below me as I tell the monkeys to back off before flying on my cloud to safety and reuniting with Pigsy and Sandy.

They don’t recognise me at first because, after all, I’m disguised as a giant banana. But we’ve all learned a valuable lesson, a fact made clear by the voiceover just before the credits start to roll. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

entertainment Cruze into Mornington to see

SEYMOUR MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE Continuing in the vein of recently successes with Katie Noonan, The Australian Queen Tribute Show and the Absolutely 80s Show, the Grand Hotel in Mornington is proud to present two of Australia’s most enduring songwriters and performers, together on the same bill, right here in our backyard again.

Mark Seymour is internationally regarded as one of Australia’s best singer/songwriters.

Since making his name as the lead singer of Hunters & Collectors, Seymour has enjoyed a stellar career as a singer and acoustic guitarist, as well as composing film scores, writing and performing music for

theatrical productions and acting. He reached Australian rock cult status throughout the 80’s and 90’s as the lead singer for Hunters & Collectors, performing around the world as the rollicking eight-piece funk ensemble.

When in 1998, Seymour decided he’d done all he could as the front man of Hunters & Collectors, he plunged into the unknown, finding himself alone on stage with just an acoustic guitar. In going solo, Seymour discovered a new and refreshing intensity in his voice that he believed he lost in the band.

Mark Seymour’s subsequent five solo albums, each of which has been highly successful, still bare the raw, emotional

hallmarks of his writing for the landmark Hunters & Collectors album, Human Frailty.

Last year saw the release of his latest album Seventh Heaven Club, the second with his brilliant new band The Undertow, featuring Cameron McKenzie on Guitar, John Favaro on Bass and Peter Maslen on Drums. A passionate, intense vocalist, Seymour continues to draw a strong crowd and form an indelible part of Australia’s musical songbook.

Extensive touring still powers the lifeblood of his musical existence, with the forthcoming show at The Grand Hotel sure to include many Undertow and Hunters & Collectors

favourites. The evening will also include one or two Badloves songs, with former frontman Michael Spiby announced as the solo acoustic support.

Mark Seymour & The Undertow play The Grand Hotel in Mornington on November 28, with acoustic support Michael Spiby.

Pre-sale tickets are available from the venue for $35, with 3-course dinner and show packages available as well for $80. Doors open 7:30pm, with support on at 8:30pm and Mark Seymour on from 9:30pm.

Returning for its second year, November 16’s Fluid Fest at Daveys in Frankston will again showcase great Australian beers, ciders, wines and bourbon, as well as offer up an equally appetising live music menu for the day, from 11am.

Kicking off the day will be one of the Peninsula’s most well known and loved blues/jazz performers, Rob Papp, who has 40+ years of experience in the local and international music scene.

Having studied under the likes of Robin Ford and recorded with the late great Tommy Tedesco, Papp has spent many years passing his knowledge on to the youth of the Peninsula, teaching at Blue Note College of Music in Frankston and performing around town solo and with his band ‘Blueshead’.

Following Papp will be Daveys regular favourite Matt Bradshaw, who has been performing Sundays in recent times and played last year in a duo format for the inaugural festival. Bradshaw began his music career just after high school, quickly being whisked away overseas to tour as a lead vocalist/guitarist for three years and over 1000 gigs. Having travelled in the same circles – and often performed alongside – acts like UB40, America, KISS, John Farnham, Jon Stevens and more, he’s also got eight CD releases to his credit as well as a publishing deal with Sony music. A born entertainer, he’ll set the perfect midafternoon live music vibe, alongside the festival festivities.

Rounding out the day will be Scott Hunter Duo, otherwise known at times as ‘Round Town’. Along with duo partner Lukey ‘Harpo’ Kehoe on harmonica and vocals, Hunter’s guitar/stomp box blues and roots style has always ensured full dancefloors and discerning music lovers are both satisfied. Able to inject energy as well as craft distinctly unique versions of covers classics, the two have only recently reunited after eight years of solo performance each and are ready to bookend the Fluid Festival with a bang.

Each act will be performing at least two sets, with Rob Papp starting at 11am, Matt Bradshaw playing from 2pm and Scott Hunter Duo taking the stage at 5pm. Don’t miss the Fluid Festival at Daveys Hotel, 510 Nepean Highway, Frankston on November 16. For details, head to www.daveys.com.au or www.fluidfestival.com.au.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Demons in the fire PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully RYE is staring down the barrel of an outright loss after a disastrous opening day of their round four clash against Baxter.

Despite playing at RJ Rowley Reserve, the home deck didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove to be a very happy hunting ground for the Demons.

Baxter won the toss and sent the Demons into bat.

Just 36 overs later, all 10 Rye batsmen were back in the sheds and it was time for the bowlers to warm their shoulders. They were dismissed for just 117.

Leigh Paterson made light work of the Demonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; batsmen, ripping through the top and bottom order to finish with the impressive figures of 5/22 from just eight overs.

Dale Irving took the new pill and helped himself to 2/14 from nine overs.

The only Rye batsman to offer any resistance was teenager Brady Egan, who hit 40, while Dean Collins hit 17 coming it at number 10.

Baxter could smell an outright and their intentions were known from the outset of their innings.

Shane McComb and Ben Matters were both dismissed early before Daniel Warwick blasted an unbeaten

74, including 10 fours and two sixes. It was vintage Warwick and something we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen for a while.

If he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do enough with the ball taking 5-for, Paterson also whacked a quick fire 27, 24 of those runs coming in boundaries.

After 37 overs and with another seven overs left in the day, Baxter declared its innings at 7/164, a lead of 47. Paterson capped off a dominating day of cricket with the scalp of Rye opener James Crowe for a duck in the second innings.

Rye will resume at 1/4 this weekend, still trailing by 43 runs and with just nine wickets in hand.

Peninsula Old Boys have set Crib Point 263 for victory after cruising to 8/262 in 73 overs on Saturday.

The Old Boys won the toss and batted first and despite losing Dylan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley early, a number of batsmen were able to get going.

Brandon Lawler scored 31, Ed Bowen 54, Jon Forest 53 and Justin Parkes made a cameo at the end with an unbeaten 35. Matty Hyden, who has dominated in the opening three games, was dismissed for 18.

Mt Eliza needs to get its season back on track and it appears it has done exactly that against Heatherhill.

The Mounties approached this game with aggression and made 7/258 in 77

overs before declaring their innings, Tristan Faithfull the star with 106.

Tom Ewing opened the innings with 37 while Jason Mathers was amongst the runs yet again with 32.

Brett and Brad Maxwell each claimed two wickets for the Hills.

Facing the last three overs of the day, Sam Creffield picked-up a wicket for the Mounties and they now have the Hills 1/9.

Pines will need to be at their best with the bat when they take to the middle against Long Island.

The Islanders won the toss and batted first and finished their 80 overs with 252 for the loss of eight wickets.

Scotty Phillips and Justin Bridgeman enjoyed a 108-run partnership, Phillips scoring 88 and Bridgeman 65.

Peter Connell also got his side away to a strong start with 48.

Nick Wilcox and Ricky Ramsdale were the pick of the Pinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 3/67 and 3/81 respectively.

Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowlers have again got their side out of strife after their batsmen again let them down against Moorooduc.

The Ducs won the toss and sent the home side into bat.

The Dogs top order did O.K and at one stage were 3/80, before a middle and lower order collapse.

Luke Popov top scored with 49 and

Ben Clements hit 26 to be their sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best batsmen. However, the Dogs scrambled to 158 off 70 overs.

Greg Pullen and Justin McCleary were the best of the Ducsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with three wickets each.

Needing to capitalise with the bat in the last nine overs of the day, Moorooduc needed to ensure their wickets stayed intact.

However, Michael Heib knocked over both openers in Ben Williams and Bobby Wilson to have the visitors 2/25 at stumps.

Like Mornington, Langwarrinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batsmen need to be at their best this

weekend after their bowlers again did the job against Sorrento.

The Sorras looked like they were getting away from the Kangas when the score was 2/140, however, the visitors lost their last eight wickets for just 70 runs. In the final over of the day, Sorrento was bowled out for 210.

Liam Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor top scored with 71 while Nick Jewell scored 51, backing up from his ton the previous week.

Dwayne Doig bowled 33 overs and finished with 5/68, while James Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri bowled 20 overs and snared 4/64.

Almost 180 for Red Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dart DISTRICT

Runs chase: Seaford is chasing down Main Ridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runs total in their District match.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully LIKE the catchcry â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;180â&#x20AC;&#x2122; in darts, Red Hill skipper Simon Dart fell just seven runs short of that total in a masterful display of batting against Carrum in MPCA District cricket.

It seems every time the master batsmen needs to step up to the plate and deliver, he does so.

Dart was pretty much a one-man show on Saturday against the Lions, hitting three quarters of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of 9/290 at Red Hill Reserve.

The next highest score was 31 from Riley Shaw, while Andrew Mock helped himself to 28.

Carrumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowlers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a bad job.

They just came up against undoubtedly the best batsman in the competition.

Dart treated all bowlers with contempt, smacking them to all parts of the ground.

Carrum used seven bowlers in a bid to remove Dart with John Mitchell the man to eventually get the job done.

Mitchell was the best of the bowlers with 3/22 from just seven overs.

Hastings has set Boneo a solid total of 233 to chase down in their match at Thomas Barclay Oval.

The Blues had some terrible performances with the bat, however, openers Daniel Esler and Matthew Foy got their side away to a flier, combining for an opening stand of 81.

Esler was the first to go with the score on 81. The Blues went from 0/81 to 3/81 before Tim Birch joined Foy. Foy eventually went for 49, however, he and the skipper had raced the score to 146. Birch finished with 44, while Mitch Floyd contributed 19.

Jack Fowler was the best of the Pandasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 5/44 from 19 overs, while Leigh Janssen snared 3/54.

Seaford Tigers are in the box seat to win its match against Baden Powell after restricting the home side to just 6/180 off 80 overs.

At one stage the Braves were 5/40, before Mac Watson (54), Travis Kellerman (42) and Daniel Di Paolo (34) came to the rescue.

Seaford used seven bowlers, Matty Meagher claiming 2/19 from 15 overs and Tom Sinclair picking up two wickets also.

Seaford is just 25 runs away from victory against Main Ridge with five wickets still in hand.

Seaford rolled the Ridge for just 138 in 52.2 overs, David Pageni and Faisal Payenda each taking three wickets.

Billy Sakalis was the top scorer for Main Ridge with 25.

In reply, Seaford was 2/27, before Damien Lawrence came to the rescue with 47.

However, Seaford is still not out of the woods at 5/114.

Mt Martha has set Delacombe Park 227 for victory in their round four match.

Playing on their home deck, Mt Martha won the toss and elected to take advantage of the good batting conditions.

Chris Brittain was the best of the Delacombe bowlers with 3/58.

In the final match, Somerville is in the box seat in its match against Flinders.

The Eagles batted first and made 191 in 62 overs, Aaron Kaddatz top scoring with 60.

Blake Hogan-Keogh was the pick of the Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 5/45.

In reply, Flinders is in strife at 3/49.

By IT Gully BALLAM Park is in a strong position to win its third game on the trot against Carrum Downs in MPCA Sub District cricket.

Southern Peninsula News 11 November 2014

IN a tribute to 20 years of Craig Lowndes thrilling fans and winning races, Holden has teamed up with the Australian motorsport and V8 Supercars icon to produce a Special Edition Commodore that fans across the country will love.

Peter Keley, Holden’s Director of Sales, said the company was incredibly proud to work with Craig to produce this very special Commodore.

“After 20 years of Craig Lowndes breaking records and claiming victories – and with so many of those moments coming behind the wheel of a Commodore – it’s only fitting that Holden honours that relationship with the Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Commodore,” said Mr Keley.

“This race-inspired Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Commodore has been created by our talented Holden engineers and designers with Craig’s input and approval. It is a rolling testament to a man whose success and character has cemented his name into Australian Motorsport history”.

The top-of-the-range MY15 SS V Redline is the starting point for Holden’s designers and engineers to work their magic with a number of unique performance and visual enhancements for the Craig Lowndes Special Edition.

As fitting for a motorsport-inspired model, the Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Commodore has the racetrack as the inspiration for many of its upgrades. Four-piston Brembo brakes fitted front and rear mean outstanding resistance to fade during track sessions, the paddle-shifters on the automatic transmission add to the car’s track-focussed nature and the upgraded suspension bushes enhance handling at the limit.

New 20-inch black alloy wheels give the car an unmistakeable presence and aggressive stance.

Available in Red Hot or Heron White, the

Craig Lowndes SS V Special Edition Commodore also features unique body side decals, hood decal and chrome finished boot badge.

Black grille and fender vents, a black roof and black window surrounds combine to produce a motorsport aesthetic.

Interior enhancements include a distinctive embroidered ‘Craig Lowndes’ signature on the dash pad. The introduction of paddle shifters (automatic transmission only), allows drivers to utilise the ‘Active Select’ gear change feature without removing their hands from the wheel.

In addition to receiving their exclusive, individually numbered Craig Lowndes Special Edition car, buyers will also be offered a package of exciting, ‘money can’t buy’ experiences including: Framed certificate of authenticity with build plate Red Bull Racing private function and tour hosted by Craig Lowndes Two General Admission tickets to customers’ local 2015 V8 Supercar race and Red Bull Racing pit tour Craig Lowndes said that after a 20 year career it was a huge honour to have Holden develop this fantastic tribute model.

“I’ve had a lot of success on the racetrack behind the wheel of Commodores and to celebrate that with this special road-going version is a great privilege. I know fans and customers all Australia are going to love it,” said Lowndes.

“This Special Edition Commodore is the pinnacle of Holden performance and to have my name on it is a true honour. With Brembo brakes front and rear, 20-inch wheels, paddle-shifters and the unique styling treatments, this car is simply outstanding to drive and look at. I love it.”

Just 233 of these exclusive and highly collectable Lowndes Commodores will be built with more than 50 percent already spoken for by customers.
