Students stage a challenge SIXTY performers from Rosebud Secondary College will strut the stage in this year’s Wakakirri competition at Frankston Arts Centre.

The 31 July competition promotes storytelling through dance, drama, music and film and gives students an opportunity to choreograph a short piece and compete against other schools from around Victoria.

The name ‘Wakakirri’ is an Aboriginal word that, according to Wangaaypuwan people from Cobar NSW, means ‘to dance a story’.

The Wakakirri challenge is a yearly event across Australia that asks primary and secondary schools to tell a story on stage using dance, drama, music and film. It aims to celebrate learning through the creation and sharing of stories.

It’s the longest running annual arts event for schools involving 20,000 students across every state and territory.

A panel of judges includes So You Think You Can Dance judge, performer and choreographer Jason Coleman, Dancing With The Stars judges Mark Wilson and Todd McKenny, Play School’s Andrew McFarlane, and singer and judge on Australian Idol Mark Holden. Awards will be given for different aspects of performance as well the Wakakirri Award for Best Story.

Rosebud Secondary students will produce and perform their piece ‘Accused’ based on Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’. The six-minute piece uses dance, drama, costume, lighting and set.

Tickets from the Frankston Arts Centre website or at the box office on the night.

Lease worry at park site Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CLAIMS of a lack of transparency are being made over plans to lease and redevelop the former Southern Peninsula Rescue Service building in Sorrento.

Mornington Peninsula Shire had called for expressions-of-interest for

the commercial or community use of the 857 square metre site at 4 Hotham Rd, which operated as an ambulance station and helicopter pad since 1987.

Tenders closed on 12 June and a shortlist of preferred occupants will go to the special purposes committee on Monday week.

It is believed the likely tenant is a peninsula wedding reception operator.

However, this could not be confirmed by The News, nor details of the length of the lease, although terms of more than 25 years are not uncommon.

The vice president of Sorrento-Portsea Chamber of Commerce, pharmacist Marc Clavin, said the elevated site adjacent to parkland and with northfacing views over Port Phillip should be reserved for community use, such

as art groups, sea scouts or walking groups, rather than leased to a commercial operator.

“There’s a wave of community discontent over this. We are concerned at the lack of transparency in the leasing process,” he said.

“We are concerned that if the site is handed over to a commercial operator to run as tea rooms, a cafe, or for wed-

ding receptions, then that is another piece of Sorrento Park gone.

“We’d like to see the land go back to the park.”

The shire’s special purposes committee agreed in October that the existing “modest” building could be refurbished, providing a “benefit” to ratepayers and income to the council.

Government may get to the point this month Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE successful bidder to privately run tourism and accommodation operations at Point Nepean National Park is expected to be announced by the end of the month.

No details of any submissions made to the state government have been released, although it is understood at least two proposals are under consideration

by Environment Minister Ryan Smith.

When the call for expressions of interest for commercial developments at the park was made in April 2013, the state government said it “heralded the start of one of the most exciting new investment and tourism opportunities for Victoria in years”.

It also coincided with release of a master plan for Point Nepean and the introduction of legislation opening the way for “sensitive investment in state and national parks in Victoria”.

The master plan was described as a guide for the evolution of Point Nepean National Park, which features the former Quarantine Station.

The forword to the master plan said it “provides the basis not only for future business planning and partnerships to be explored in pursuit of those opportunities, but also for detailed design to be developed and implemented in order to achieve the goals set out in this document”.

Mr Smith said the government was “committed to seeing the [17 hectare] Quarantine Station become a vibrant

Decision pending: The state government is considering submissions for commercial development at the Quarantine Station precinct of Point Nepean National Park.

and attractive destination for locals and visitors alike”.

“We want to see proposals that are financially viable, provide ongoing public access and make a contribution to the local economy by creating jobs and tourism opportunities on the Mornington Peninsula,” he said.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said last

week he would like to see an “educational component” in any future development at Point Nepean”. However, he added that it was up to Mr Smith “to evaluate each proposal on its individual merits and in accordance with the parameters put forward in his guidelines”.

Mr Dixon, who has met “a couple of groups” responding to the call for sub-

missions, said that “in fairness to those who have made submissions to [Mr Smith], it would be inappropriate for me to make any statements about what I may or may not like to see”.

“Having said that, I support the process and am confident the minister will ultimately make the right decision for the future of the Pt Nepean National

Beach bollards’ inquiry MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is investigating the legality of bollards erected on the beach adjoining Lindsay Fox’s Portsea property.

Photographs supplied to The News show the bollards being installed at 1 pm on Friday 20 June.

On Christmas Eve last year 45 metres of beach was added to the property by the Titles Office, but the state government later intervened to reverse the decision.

The decision to allow the title to be amended was based on the “doctrine of accretion”, which basically means properties can be increased in line with a receding high water mark.

Other bollards have been erected about 10 metres from the Fox property boundary.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy was quoted by The Age on Monday 23 June

Main meal A combination of Honey Glazed Ham and traditional Roast Turkey served with seasonal vegetables accompanied by gravy & cranberry sauce - complimented by dinner rolls.

as saying the beach land was “almost in limbo” and authority to erect anything on the beach had to come from the secretary of the Department of Environment and Primary Industries.

“Shire officers have commenced an investigation into the bollards. We will advise you of the outcome as soon as it has been completed - hopefully within a week or two,” a spokesman for the shire said on Friday.

Kate Baillieu, who lives nearby, said the shire should enforce regulations which ban “any construction on the beach”.

“The shire enforcement office has told me they are trying to establish when the bollards were put in, bit I don’t think much more investigation needs to be done.

“Council should act now and quickly,” she said.

Booze impact THE South East Melbourne Councils Alliance, a group made up of the municipalities of Frankston, Casey, Greater Dandenong, Kingston, Bass Coast, Cardinia and Mornington Peninsula, is researching the impacts of packaged liquor outlets and alcoholrelated harm in their communities.

The SEM has created a survey on packaged liquor purchases and drinking patterns to gather valuable information that will help Frankston Council better plan for the number and types of alcohol outlets in the community.

Complete the ‘Have your say on alcohol outlets’ survey by picking up a copy of the survey from council’s customer service centres or by visiting www.frankston.vic.gov.au The survey must be completed

by Friday 15 August. Contact Paul Maas at Frankston Council for further information at Paul.Maas@frankston. vic.gov.au or call 1300 322 222.

park,” he said. A spokesman for Mr Dixon said his office was “unaware of who has been shortlisted, so these groups may not currently even be in the mix”.

The spokesman said the government had been assessing submissions by shortlisted bidders for the past few months.

“Minister Smith’s office advised that, around mid to the end of July, he will make an announcement of a successful bidder, but only if the government is satisfied with the final proposal,” the spokesman said.

“If and when an announcement is made, there will be a two to four-week period for the minister to receive feedback from the community.

“If a relevant issue is raised through that feedback process, then minister Smith may decide to amend the proposal accordingly. From that point on, the proposal is finalised.”

Mr Dixon said he would support “appropriate development at Point Nepean to ensure the heritage and environmental virtues of the park are able to be preserved and enjoyed for many years to come”.

“Much of the site has already been developed over the years and I believe a suitable private entity who is experienced in this sort of accommodation and tourist development would be far better placed to preserve and enhance the visitor experience to these already developed areas. Like the rest of community, I will be watching the outcome with great interest.”

Joey rescued after mother killed in crash Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON police came to the rescue of orphaned joey after its mother was hit and killed by a car at Tuerong last week.

The four-month-old joey was found alive in the pouch of its mother by two Mornington police officers after it was struck by a car at the corner of Old Mooroodoc and Balnarring roads about 11.30pm on Thursday.

Police said the female driver who had accidentally struck the kangaroo was “distraught” about the mother’s death but relieved after learning the joey was still alive.

The joey was taken to Balnarring Animal Rescue centre then later handed to wildlife carer Una Merrick of Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula.

Ms Merrick said the quick actions of the police officers had most likely saved the life of the female joey.

“They’ve done exactly the right thing in first checking the pouch of the mother after it was hit by the car and then removing the joey and making sure it was quickly wrapped in a blanket and kept warm,” she said.

However, she said it was still too early to know if the joey will make a full recovery.

“There’s no physical damage from what we can tell but there’s no way of knowing how much stress and trauma it has suffered.

Safe hands: A four-month-old female joey was taken into care by a Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula volunteer after being rescued by police following the death of its mother, which was hit by a car in Tuerong last Thursday evening.

“The next few days will be critical but it usually takes about three weeks to determine if a joey is going to make it.”

Ms Merrick said the yet to be named joey was one of seven kangaroos and a dozens of other injured and orphaned native animals by cared for by WHOMP. She said the winter months usually brought a sharp rise in the number of animals hit by vehicles on the peninsula and urged drivers to take extra care.

“The late sunrises and early sunsets means there are more cars on the road around dawn and dusk when kangaroos are most active.

“So we’d ask drivers to slow down

as much as possible, particularly at dawn and dusk and especially around areas known for high levels of animals activity.”

These include the Old Moorooduc Highway in Tuerong, where the latest incident took place, bushy areas around Balnarring and Red Hill, Browns Rd in Flinders, Boneo Rd in Cape Schanck near Bushrangers Bay and Boundary Rd in Dromana.

Drivers who have hit wildlife should call the police, especially when the animal is injured and in need of help.

Anyone finding an injured or orphaned animal can call WHOMP on 0417 380 687.

Learn locals to benefit from support ABOUT $13,500 in training delivery support grants will assist four Learn Local organisations on the Southern Peninsula.

Grant recipients were announced by MP for Nepean Martin Dixon last week (pictured).

They are Peninsula Adult Education & Literacy - $4500, Peninsula Training & Employment Program. - $4500, Rye Community House. - $1500 and Sorrento Community House. - $3000.

“These grants will support the delivery of programs and services and enable these Learn Locals to enhance the great work they do in their local communities,” Mr Dixon said.

“The providers will use the money to buy teaching and learning resources, and to aid the delivery of programs and services to vulnerable learners who may face barriers to participation in skills training.”

Mr Dixon said the state government believed it was “crucial” that those with limited access to learning opportunities - early school leavers, unemployed, low skilled workers and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD) – have access quality education.

Mr Dixon said more students facing barriers to an education were now undertaking skills training. He said indigenous students were up 35 per cent, disabled students up 49 per cent, CALD students up 95 per cent and unemployed students up 116 per cent over the past four years.

“Learn Locals play an important role in skills training, providing $14 million in pre-accredited vocational training and $71 million in accredited training in 2013,” he said.

“The funding announced today is in addition to the government’s commitment to spend almost $5 billion on vocational education and training over the next four years.

“This investment reflects the vital role skills-based training plays in the government’s economic strategy to build a better Victoria.”

Driving road trauma message home GETTING the road safety message into the heads of teenage drivers can be a frustrating task.

A combination of youthful innocence, derring-do, high energy levels and the perceived need for speed cause far too many senseless road accidents.

Young lives are lost and families left heartbroken.

The challenge is near to the hearts of members of the Teenagers Road Accident Group - a bunch of committed lo-

cals who have all, sadly, been affected by teenage road trauma. They speak from the heart but their message is just common sense.

The volunteers donate their time to give students information that may save them, and their families, the horror of having to cope with road trauma, and to let them know they have a choice to keep themselves safe.

TRAG will hold sessions at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Morn-

ington on Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 July. The presenters will share their personal experiences with year 12 students from all over the peninsula.

It’s a heart-felt task as presenters are reminded of their tragedy every time they go out on the road and pass lonely roadside memorials. They know that most, if not all, of the young deaths they grieve were avoidable.

TRAG members have done faceto-face presentations to more than

100,000 students on and around the peninsula since 1999. Such is their popularity that bookings for the upcoming sessions have been received from 25 schools with an anticipated attendance of 2600 students.

The Tuesday presentation will be attended by the assistant commissioner of police, Robert Hill, local MPs Martin Dixon and Greg Hunt, shire CEO Dr Michael Kennedy, and other invited guests.

The presentations are unashamedly graphic and are meant to make students aware of their responsibility to “Drive 4 Life” once they get their licence.

To view individual presentations visit trag-vic.org or just Google “trag”.

The Teenagers Road Accident Group is supported by all emergency services, Lions, Lioness, Rotary clubs and the Mornington Peninsula Shire. It does not receive government funding or support from TAC.

Anger over park lease

Longer loans

Continued from Page 1

The Crown Land status of the site and planning scheme rules allow for a range of development options. Also, the Victorian Coastal Strategy encourages re-use of existing buildings on the coast.

Proposals for a cafe or restaurant, clubrooms, art gallery, recreationfocused hire shop or other tourism activities are regarded as being suitable.

In report council in October property valuations manager Yasmin Woods recommended a broad based expressions of interest campaign under which the best proposal would deliver commercial and community benefits.

She said a successful proposal should be based on “adaptive re-use” of the existing building allowing it to fit in with the local environment, and be sympathetic to its location next to parkland and coast.

The council voted to accept the early termination of the lease with Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad – which no longer had a helicopter and had moved to Blairgowrie marina - and to call for expressions of interest from a potential new operator.

The conditions would include maximising community benefit, integrating the development with parkland and coast, using sustainability principles and ensuring a reasonable financial return for ratepayers.

However, the two Nepean Ward councillors – Tim Rodgers and Hugh

Fraser – did not attend the October meeting.

Cr Rodgers Last week agreed with Mr Clavin that “the community needs to be brought on board” before the site is offered to a new operator.

“The council has decided on the expressions of interest campaign and that’s fine, but we need to get the community on board as well,” he said. “I’m not sure that the black and white scenario is best. This is an iconic site that would be suitable for all kinds of uses – some community and some commercial.”

Southern Peninsula News 15 July 2014

Cr Rodgers said he would not know details of any applicants or leasing details until a special purposes committee meeting on 21 July.

“The problem, as I see it, is that we need a more open discussion as to what is best for the site,” he said. “This is a one-off opportunity for a number of reasons and it has many possible uses; it has views to die for.

“The question is: should it be open space, a venue for the arts, or even a library. Our job is to decide what’s best but we need to get the community on board as well.”

Mr Clavin said there was a “wave of discontent” among Sorrento locals now that the potential ‘loss’ of the site was becoming known. He said the chamber and other community groups had been “unaware” of the planned releasing.

“We are certainly concerned at the way this is being handled and that the site will be lost to the community forever. If it is leased out privately it will never come back to the community.

“Tenders have already closed and yet 99 per cent of locals didn’t even know about it.”

MORNINGTON Peninsula library members will be able to borrow DVDs and music CDs for up to three weeks from next month.

With more than 12,000 DVDs and 4000 CDs, the growing collection is able to support longer loan periods.

“Feedback from customers, both in our libraries and from our recent online survey, showed that our users want longer loan periods,” mayor Antonella Celi said.

“We’re excited to be able to implement this move as it brings loan periods for DVDs and music CDs into line with other library items.”

Magazines have a seven-day loan period to ensure titles are not dated before other members can read them.

Peninsula stands tall despite tourism snub Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au IT may be one of the country’s most pop tourist destinations, but the Mornington Peninsula doesn’t even rate a mention among the state’s top 12 “experiences and destinations”, according to the latest edition of Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria.

Taking out top spot in the ninth edition of the travel company’s Melbourne and Victoria guide book is the Great Ocean Road, with Melbourne’s laneways, The Grampians, Melbourne’s “cultural and sporting hub”, and Wilsons Promontory rounding out the top five.

The closest the peninsula comes to rating a mention among Victoria’s “must visit” locations is the listing of Phillip Island and its penguin parade as the seventh most appealing tourist destination.

Rounding out the top 12 were St Kilda, the High Country, Mildura, Gippsland Lakes, “Country Charm”, and Walhalla.

Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said she was surprised the peninsula didn’t rate a mention in the guide book’s top twelve, especially as the region was usually regarded as one of Melbourne’s tourist destinations.

She said the peninsula was “much-loved by residents and visitors alike, offering a great tourism experience, plenty of things to do and see”.

“The Mornington Peninsula has been a major drawcard for local, national and international visitors for decades, and the range of tourism experiences, activities and events continue to grow each year – including this year’s Cool Climate Wine Show, Melbourne International Film Festival screening and the Archibald Prize exhibition,” Cr Celi said.

The omission from the latest Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria edition, which was released last week, stands in stark contrast to the state government’s official tourism website, Visit Victoria,

Leading the way: Moonlit Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Park has won international acclaim for its dedication to providing the “best possible care” to its animals. The popular Pearcedale wildlife park also runs a number of conservation initiatives, including a successful breeding program for orange bellied parrots.

which lists the Mornington Peninsula as its number one attraction. It is also surprising given that Tourism Australia’s latest global marketing campaign focuses on the country’s “exceptional food and wine experiences” – areas in which the Mornington Peninsula has gained international renown.

Tourism Australia chief marketing officer Nick Baker said food and wine producers were the “stars” of the international Restaurant Australia marketing campaign, which aims to boost visitor numbers by highlighting the country’s “unique and exceptional food and wine experiences” being

served-up at “remarkable locations” such as the peninsula. He said extensive research conducted

by Tourism Australia showed food and wine were the most important factors in holiday decision making.

“The concept of Restaurant Australia has been built based on consumer research which identified food and wine as a key factor in holiday decision making and the most important emotive trigger, ahead of world class beauty, for influencing people’s destination choice,” Mr Baker said.

“For people who’ve never visited Australia, awareness of our food and wine offering is low.

However, once they visit, people realise the variety and quality of our food and wine experiences is world-class and Australia moves to the top of the rankings as a one of the world’s best culinary destinations.”

International visitors spent more than $4 billion enjoying Australia’s food, wine and culinary experiences in 2013, with the Mornington Peninsula gaining a healthy slice of the pie.

Peninsula tourism operators have also been figuring prominently on the award front, including the Enchanted Adventure Garden, which was last week named Victorian Regional Business of the Year at the 2014 Telstra Business Awards.

The popular peninsula tourist attraction was the only business from the state’s tourism sector to be nominated for the prestigious awards.

First opened in 1997 as a small maze and garden attraction, the Arthur’s Seat business has grown into a thriving tourist drawcard.

The family owned business now offers adventure tube slides, tree surfing and live entertainment, in addition to the expanded hedge maze and gardens, and provides employed for more than 100 people.

Judges said the Enchanted Adventure Gardenwas a “financially secure and soundly managed business that has invested significantly in new attractions and created a unique attraction for family enjoyment, adventure and fun”.

“Its owners [Sally and Michael Savage] were

committed to staff training and showed outstanding leadership and vision,” judges said in presenting the award. Also figuring prominently on the awards front is Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, which recently won Zoo and Aquarium Association accreditation and has gained international applause through the TripAdvisor website.

Having won a swag of business, environmental and tourism awards over recent years, the popular wildlife park was recognised by the ZAA for meeting the highest possible standards in care and animal welfare.

ZAA president Karen Fifield said the accreditation program was creating a “new standard for animal welfare”.

“Being accredited means our members can be proud of providing our animals with the best possible care,” she said.

Moonlit Sanctuary’s accreditation shows it is ensuring the animals in their care live in a positive welfare state.

“This means the wider community can be certain that ZAA member institutions provide the best level of care for their animals, not just a minimum standard,” Ms Fifield said.

The recognition follows the awarding of Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park with a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for the consistent praise heaped on it by visitors.

The international website provides feedback from visitors on tourist attractions and destinations around the world. Of 83 comments posted on the TripAdvisor site for Moonlit Sanctuary, 69 rated the park “excellent”, 13 “very good”.

Moonlit Sanctuary director Michael Johnson said there was no greater seal of approval than being recognised by customers.

“With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence,” Mr Johnson said.

‘Ello! ‘Ello! A tree has hit la maison EMU and his Blushing Bride are home from their annual trip north, to a nasty little surprise. A tree had fallen on Emu Ruo in The Great Storm and the disagreeable business of dealing with an insurance company had to begin.

Mrs Emu, who has been studying French at U3A, wanted to fill in the form in her newly acquired lingo.

“Un arbre est tombé sur notre maison avec une grande force – pam! pam!

Ce que les dommages. Mme Émeu est désolé,” she had written, with a wingtip dipped in tar.

A tree had indeed fallen, had done damage, and the B B had indeed been … not desolated, exactly, but she likes the word. She was more desolated when Emu took the Frenchinscribed form and tossed it in the fire, which luckily had not been hit by a tree.

He gave her a firm look. “You used the online translator,” he said accusingly, resulting in a spousal visage both désolé and furieuse. He had seen her doing her U3A homework on the computer. Mrs Emu’s crest fell. Caught bang to rights, she could not raise even a whimper of remonstrance in either language.

Emu was, as always, glad to be home. This time, fallen trees aside, he was glad to be getting a break from Charles Aznavour and “The Little Sparrow”, Edith Piaf, with her wretched “Je ne regrette rien” six or seven times daily. Emu had regretted each playing, individually and with passion. Quelle dommage that CDs don’t wear out.

Emu’s old Dad told him that, in occupied France in the Second World

War, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony was very popular. To annoy the Germans, workers with hammers, spoons, anything, would beat out the rhythm of the symphony’s first four notes – three rapid, one long; dit-dit-dit-dah – Morse Code for “V”, for victory. Did the occupiers like Piaf?

Call Emu a cultural wasteland if you will, but that Sparrow woman has a voice that would break hardened glass the length of the Champs Elysėes. Emu puts her in the same class as George Formby and the wartime warblers of London: perfect for their time and place. Emu does not wish to meet them again.

But Emu digresses – as he was bound to do after 10 days of driving there and back and a 10-day interval being polite in the company of “her” side of the family. And in Queensland, which has a premier who looks quite like Gollum and whose policies are approaching those of Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Emu will not digress in that direction.

We can report the Newell Highway is much improved from the trip several years back. The Dubbo zoo and the Parkes Dish are worth a visit (interesting presents for the grandferals) and the Warrumbungles deserve a few hours. We felt at home overnight in a motel in Bogan St in one town.

A few emus were spotted in the Warrumbungles, then an entire paddock of them. Poor things: eggs, meat

Souvenirs: trophies from Emu’s family holiday.

or leather? All three, perhaps. Mrs Emu was all for liberating them, but a chap appeared.

“We should campaign to be taken off Australia’s coat of arms,” the B B muttered, “if that’s what it has come to. And the kangaroo should come off, too.

“Replace us with a caged-reared de-beaked chicken and a mangy oneeyed dingo with a bad leg.”

Speaking of dingoes, Emu will allow himself another digression.

Way back he wanted to name the Emu hacienda “Thurlgoona” rather than Emu Ruo. But just in time Mrs Emu discovered that “Thurlgoona” translated as “dingo evacuating its bowels”. Emu knows of a peninsula property named “Thurlgoona”.

We saw kangaroos, wallabies and even emus along the roadsides, some not dead, all the way to and from the relatives. We stayed with Aunty Gert (known as “Gert by sea”) and her tribe, but that’s all you need to know about the Queensland rellies.

We also saw fleets of grey nomads heading up to the sun but, surprisingly, few trucks. And not a single police highway patrol car the length of NSW in either direction. But the second day back home we saw a patrol car snapping up speedsters like a dolphin in a shoal. He liked to stop half on the bitumen, lights flashing, partly obstructing traffic. Probably because he can. But beside double lines?

Last road stop heading south was Shepparton, and a rather flash motel with a dining room. Mrs Emu had to be persuaded not to dress for dinner, which turned out to be far less flash than the accommodation. Next morning heading out of town we stumbled across the SPC-Ardmona shop and bought up big – vast tins of cherries, baked beans, peaches, apricots and pears – at 3kg a can (eight serves per kilo) and at very moderate prices.

As Crocodile Dundee might have said: “That’s not a can of apricots – this is a can of apricots.” Even though it was a can of baked beans.

Disability forum BALANCING the Scales is the name of a community forum to be held in Mornington later this month for carers and families of those with a disability and/or mental illness.

Those attending will be hear presentations from the commissioner of the Office of the Disability Services Commission, Laurie Harkin AM, the chair of the National Disability Insurance Agency, Bruce Bonyhady, and the new Mental Health Complaints Commissioner, Lynne Coulson-Barr.

HAND CAR WASH AND DETAIL

Labor divide over where to put port Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au LABOR’S candidate for Hastings Steve Hosking will back the multi-million dollar expansion of the port if it leads to more jobs in the area.

However, his support for the planned container port at Hastings puts him at odds with party policy which is pushing for the new container port at Bay West in Port Phillip, near Werribee.

Mr Hosking has asked Labor’s spokeswoman for Ports, Freight and Logistics Natalie Hutchins to help plan a jobs forum at Hastings and explain why the party had decided not to go ahead with plans for a container port at Hastings and what it will offer instead. “It’s something we all need to know,� Mr Hosking said. “We will still have the gas and oil here but many jobs have gone down the gurgler. “We need to have 500-plus people at the port.

I don’t want to do the wrong thing [as ALP candidate] but as a branch, we need to know what’s going on.�

Mr Hosking believes that, after the building phase, a fully automated port may create as few as 40 jobs.

In April last year, the state government allocated $110 million on planning for the port over the next four years.

While disagreeing on a location, both major parties agree Melbourne will need another container port by the mid-2020s.

Mr Hosking, who needs a 9.5 per cent swing at the November state election to unseat the Liberal Neale Burgess, was speaking after a weekend newspaper report in which Ms Hutchins, said “the case for Bay West was compelling�, adding it would create thousands of jobs in Geelong.

Windows cleaned

The state government has seized on another comment by Ms Hutchins in the article that “Labor will direct Infrastructure Victoria to conduct a comprehensive and transparent cost-benefit analysis to test Bay West against all other possible siting alternatives�. The Minister for Ports, David Hodgett, called on Ms Hutchins to “come clean with the people of Western Port and Phillip Island�, claiming that “the article revealed that a Labor government would still consider establishing the Port of Hastings as Victoria’s second international container port�.

In the article, the former head of the Port of Melbourne Corporation, Stephen Bradford, said that, while a container port between Geelong and Werribee would be well connected to road and rail, the need to widen Port Phillip Heads could have “potentially catastrophic environmental consequences�.

Mr Hosking, a fitter and turner who worked at BlueScope, said automation at Hastings would limit job opportunities. The port’s expansion potential was also a problem, he said, with four shipping bays needed at the start, but with future demand dictating the need for another four within the next 10 years. It will always remain a bulk port, but containers are where the jobs are, and I don’t want to see jobs go from here [to Bay West].�

Mr Hosking said BlueScope needed to be involved. “If they ramp up their imports and exports it wouldn’t be possible to have bulk goods and containers here.�

Meanwhile, university researchers have called for a reassessment of the government’s plans to spend an estimated $12 billion developing the Hastings port.

In a research paper titled “Build it - but will they come?� Hermione Parsons and Peter Van Duyn say shipping companies are unlikely to send mega-ships to Melbourne, with the economy being better served by similar sized vessels to those already using coming and going from Port Phillip.

Cape the key to historical record Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au VISITING Cape Schanck can be exhilarating. Steep cliffs drop down to rocky shores battered by big waves.

The track leading to Bushrangers Bay is like going through a tunnel of tea tree until it opens on one side the grassy paddocks of the historic Barragunda grazing property.

Another track leads to a boardwalk down to Pulpit Rock, the cape’s furthermost point into Bass Strait.

Explorer Matthew Flinders in the early 1800s described its appearance from the sea as resembling a ship under sail.

The annual nesting site of whitebellied sea eagles, the rock drew plenty of attention but not always to those not overly interested in the welfare of wildlife.

In February 1888 the second of two groups of hunters managed to shoot the birds, leaving their nest to slowly crumble into the sea. That same decade a mutton bird rookery on the slopes of the cape was wiped out by foxes.

Seemingly always a drawcard since the earliest settlement of Europeans on the Mornington Peninsula, the cape and surrounding areas is the subject of Hastings-based historian Ruth Gooch’s latest book: “The wildest bit along the coast”.

The cape area was also well known and utilised by Aborigines and a cave at the cliff base there is said to be the home of the deity, Punjil.

Looking back: Author Ruth Gooch looks towards Cape Schanck for her latest book on the history of the Mornington Peninsula.

Picture: Yanni

The beaches leading to the cape and its towering cliffs drew the attention of artists, while its treacherous seas and offshore reefs led to the loss of many ships before the government of the day commissioned the building of

a lighthouse.

Illustrated with drawings and photographs, the book traces the ups and downs of farming in and around Cape Schanck, giving insights into the social mores of the day and changes in

attitudes, particularly to the environment, between then and now.

A librarian who lists her interests as literature, philosophy, classical astrology, Gooch has previously warned against the subjective nature of written and oral histories, knowing that the truth usually lies somewhere between.

In her latest book, she gives readers a glimpse into her own past, as with an account of her father making butter by stirring a bucket of cream with a broomstick.

But it is her range of references to the writing of the early settlers, their visitors and government officials that creates pictures of early Cape Schanck for her readers.

As with her previous books, Seal Rocks and Frontier French Island, Gooch presents and interprets settlers’ and historians’ accounts of the life of Aborigines on the peninsula and beyond.

And, as with those books she does not shy away from questioning the accepted version of what occurred between settlers and Aborigines.

Repeated in her Cape Schanck book, although in a much more condensed version, are accounts of Aboriginal women being not always unhappy when “taken” by sealers.

In the book about the cape Gooch raises doubts about Aboriginal “firestick farming”, maintaining that fire was most often used to flush animals from the scrub so they could be more easily killed for food.

She looks at the number of lightning-induced fires and recounts

instances where fire – or more particularly its accompanying smoke - was used to signal the presence of bands of Aborigines. However, the instances she gives are not merely small fires, but rather fires with nearly two kilometre fronts left to burn of their own accord.

Her insights into the diet of peninsula Aborigines in the mid-1800s – whose numbers she places at about 300 with 750,000 Aborigines nationally – comes from written accounts of their hunting methods and analysis of middens.

Gooch quotes settlers as saying possums were the main source of meat, with their skins being used by the Aborigines to make rugs. Accounts are given of the fine workmanship in the stitching of the 80-120 possum skins required for each rug.

Apparently the harvesting of possums by Aborigines had had little effect on their population over thousands of years.

However, other abundant species which also provided food sources for the Aborigines were soon decimated after the arrival of Europeans, including emus, bush turkeys, Cape Barren geese and dingoes.

Gooch covers the escape of convicts from Tasmania which led to the naming of Bushrangers Bay as well as describing duels and the successes and failures of farming various breeds of sheep and cattle.

Diamonds head for Glasgow TYABB girl Bianca Chatfield led her team, the Melbourne Vixens, to a win over the Queensland Firebirds in the ANZ Netball Championship grand final.

Chatfield, who grew up in Tyabb and attended Flinders College, sees her next challenge as playing for Australia in the coming Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

She has been named joint vice-captain of the Diamonds.

Chatfield plays goal defence and has participated in 230 national league games in the former Commonwealth Bank Trophy and the existing trans-Tasman competition.

She is the only player left from the Vixens’ foundation team of 2008 and was a member of the 2009 championship-winning team.

The Firebirds beat the Vixens in Round 3 this year (48-47) but the Vixens had their revenge in Round 6, winning 50-38. They also won the major semi-final 52-47. In the grand final, the Vixens won 53-42.

A crowd of 9345 watched the netball grand final at Hisense Arena, which compares favourably with the 9059 crowd watching the GWS Giants defeat Carlton at Spotless Stadium in Sydney on the same day.

Reconnecting with their art MUNWARRI Stand Up is part of Baluk Arts on show at the Frankston Arts Centre in Davey St until 16 August.

It showcases paintings, jewellery and craft

by Baluk Aboriginal artists who are celebrating their artistic development and desire to ‘stand up’ and demonstrate their pride in producing interesting new work.

Baluk Arts – a local Boonwurrung word meaning 'many' - is a non-profit Victorian Aboriginal arts organisation based in Mornington and owned by Aboriginal artists from Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula and wider south-east Melbourne.

Baluk artists come from all over Australia and their artworks reflect themes of identity in a

contemporary cultural context.

Through Baluk Arts, family groups and members of the ‘stolen generation’ reconnect with their culture and express their histories through strong artistic practices to support their cultural and creative wellbeing.

Baluk Arts encourages community development, youth leadership, participation and interaction and Indigenous governance through innovative arts practice.

The opening event as part of NAIDOC Week beginning 7 July was a morning tea and flag raising ceremony.

If you would like to attend Munwarri Stand Up call Cube 37 on 9784 1896.

Superb style for today and tomorrow PROUDLY set in sought-after Somers - one of the true quintessential peninsula towns that embody the seachange lifestyle - this contemporary beauty is a must for any family seeking the finer things in life. Enjoying a wonderful setting amongst landscaped gardens on a substantial 3018-square metre block, this spacious home immediately welcomes you with a wide, full-length timber deck. The interior has been recently updated with a wide entry foyer highlighted by polished timber floors which continue on to a formal dining room which accesses a second timber deck at the rear. To one side of the dining area is a formal lounge that also opens out to the deck, and to the other, is a family room.

Incorporated into this space is a stylish timber kitchen complete with wall-oven and a dishwasher, there is a charming casual meals alcove with a bay window, and a lounge area. The covered deck at the rear is an entertainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delight with mains gas plumbed in for a barbecue, and there is a great outlook to the solar heated in-ground swimming pool. For the growing family, there are four fantastic bedrooms; three have built-in robes and share the sparkling main bathroom, and the larger main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe. A separate study across the hall from the master bedroom could be a fifth bedroom if required. There is one really special feature here that is sure to endear this home to many. Through a secret panel - reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy - is a wonderfully rustic wine cellar and bar with brick feature wall and warm timber panelling.

Practical features are not forgotten either with gas ducted heating throughout, and serving the grounds is a 20,000-litre rain water tank. In addition to the double garage up alongside the home are some garden sheds, and you can park the boat or caravan here also. The serenity of this enchanting coastal town beckons you.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Committee discusses how to service the peninsula by railway Compiled by Melissa McCullough BETWEEN the 8th and 15th July, 340 points of rain were recorded at Tyabb by Mr A S Krorouse. *** APPLICATIONS are invited by advertisement in this issue for the position of caretaker of the Tyabb Hall at a salary of £10 per annum. *** A PROGRESSIVE step has been undertaken by Mr G Coop, of Somerville, recently, by the installation of a telephone at his hotel. *** Mr A G Tasker, assistant station master, is at present absent from his duty on sick leave. *** Mr C R Perrin, head teacher at Rosebud State School, has been indisposed for a few days, but is now, we are pleased to state, almost himself again. *** Senator Blakey, one of the six selected Labor candidates will address the electors at Frankston in the Mechanics’ Hall, on Monday next, 20th July, at 8pm. *** Mr A S Krorouse, of Bullareo, Tyabb, is the local agent for Nobel-Glasgow Explosives, and supplies of detonators and fuses can be obtained from him. *** A MEETING of ratepayers of the Centre Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings will be held at Somerville on the 25th inst. for the purpose of electing trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute. *** MR Walter Kirby, who has sung at

more than one concert at Frankston, is to give a song recital in the Auditorium on Monday evening next. We wish him a full house and the success his wonderful voice deserves. *** A DEMONSTRATION of land clearing and subsoiling by explosives will be given on the property of Mr T Gibson, Hodgins Road, Hastings by Mr H E Henshaw, representing Nobel’s Explosives Co, Ltd., on Tuesday, 28th July. *** THE posts placed by the Council to protect footpaths on Eramosa Road Somerville, were removed by some persons Tuesday night inst. The police have the matter in hand, and the offender, if caught, will be severely dealt with. *** PAINFUL injuries were sustained by the young son of Mrs Walsh of Frankston on Thursday. It appears that he was playing near the heels of a horse, when the animal lashed out and kicked him in the face. Mr T Ritchie carried the lad to Dr Maxwell’s surgery with a nasty gash in the chin, which necessitated several stitches, and was attended to. He is now progressing as favorably as the nature of his wounds will permit. *** THE Lands Department has arranged that the land on the Flinders foreshore belonging to the state be withdrawn from sale and be placed under a board of trustees for use as a public park. The land is situated between two portions of Flinders golf course, and is used for racing, golf, and other public

purposes. With the golf club’s reservation it forms one of the beauty spots of the state. It was Bass who first discovered Westernport in 1798, although the township has been named Flinders, The Lands Department has accordingly arranged that the reservation be known in future as “Bass Park”. ***

ONE POUND REWARD: Lost.One black horse.

Medium draught, branded “J” on near Shoulder. One slightly twisted fetlock.

SUCCESS attended the benefit entertainment arranged by the Fire Brigades Employees’ Union in aid of Mr L Shannon, a member, who has been a sufferer from locomotor ataxia for 12 months, and who is still in the Melbourne Hospital.

The concert was held on Wednesday night at the National Amphitheatre which was crowded to the doors. A very satisfactory sum was taken, and it is expected by the promoters that this will be considerably augmented when the returns from tickets which were issued in various suburbs come in. The promoters of the benefit are deeply grateful to the Metropolitan Fire Bri-

gades Board and the officers of the brigade for the generous assistance that was given. *** THE report of the Railways Standing Committee on the question of connecting the districts situated in Mornington Peninsula with the existing railway system was presented to the State Parliament on Thursday.

Several routes of railways to serve the peninsula were brought before the committee.

The first was to extend from Mornington railway in a south easterly direction for about nine miles to a point about mid-way between Bittern and Dromana, where it would junction with the survey from Moorooduc, Somerville and Bittern respectively, and then follow a common route south-west for about ten miles through Red Hill and then turning south-east for three or four miles to Flinders, making a total length of 22 ¾ miles.

The objection to this route was that Mornington station would have to be a dead end. That station is at right angles to the coastline, and so close to the cliffs overlooking Port Phillip Bay that there is not sufficient space for a curve to extend the existing line out of Mornington in a southerly direction towards Flinders.

Mr M E Kernot, chief engineer for railway construction, informed the committee that this route would cost about £6000 per mile to construct, as, excepting the first three miles from Mornington, the country is broken, requiring fairly heavy earthworks.

The surveys to Flinders from both Moorooduc and Somerville, via the

The Global Mum’s Club

By Stacey Anderson I DON’T remember signing up to the Global Mum’s Club.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m flattered to be in such good company and all, but I don’t want it to define me.

Why is it that the moment I daggy dance, or use ziplock bags or (God forbid) cut my hair short then I’m suddenly “such a mum”?

I find myself rebelling against such things.

I’m even growing my hair long.

I’ve been through this before.

When I got engaged I felt torn between the excitement of getting married to the man of my dreams, while also being a bit embarrassed to be part of the squealy “OMG look at my diamond!” team. So, I got a sapphire instead.

And I was so petrified of being a seen as a “Bridey Bride” that I found myself being so blasé about the wedding that it became a bit annoying for everyone. Oh, just choose your own dresses. Let’s just pick some flowers from the garden. I don’t even care where everyone sits. “Just tell us what you want woman!”

I digress.

Of course this is all stereotyping, but that’s what I’m talking about.

Why are women categorized and polarized in to these groups: Single = Free Relationship = Happy

Engaged = Giddy Married = Boring Mum = Daggy Why do I have to trade off my identity in exchange for my new title of mum?

Why can’t I just be a married mum who rocks at life?

Why is it that from the moment I gave birth, I dropped my name, my relationship status, my career status and my social status and replaced it with the allencompassing, forever judged status of “mum”?

Just for the record, I’m proud to be a mum.

But I have not spent the last half of my life prepping to be a mum.

I’ve been building a fabulous career, a life-long relationship, solid friendships, a rad social life and travelling the world.

So thank you world for the invitation to join the Global Mum’s Club.

I will accept, because you’re an incredible bunch and I’m proud to sit alongside you, but I am requesting that we establish some club rules.

Rule number one: We recognise that we’re all mums but more importantly we’re all individuals, each with a different path that has lead us to motherhood.

Rule number two: We stay true to ourselves and the women we want to be.

And finally, Rule number three: We stop judging and comparing, because we’re all on the same team. We all want the best for our kids no matter what we have to do to achieve it so let’s be lovers, not haters.

I’m sorry I forgot to mention that there’s no opt out of this Club. You’re in it whether you like it or not. But let’s wear that GMC logo with pride.

Our motto: Mums = Brilliant. Strong. Amazing. And maybe at times just a tiny bit daggy.

common point already referred to, and Red Hill were each slightly over 23 miles in length. These surveys junctioned at a point three miles and a half south of Moorooduc and a similar distance south-west of Somerville, and then ran southward for six miles to the common point.

Either of these proposals would fairly divide the peninsula, but the objection to both of them was that for the first nine miles, from Moorooduc to Somerville, they would run parallel with the Mornington Junction-Bittern railway at no greater distance than five miles, and would, therefore, rob the existing line of traffic which properly belonged to it.

Consequently, the committee had to devote its attention to the two routes branching off the Mornington Junction Stony Point railway at Bittern, near the naval base.

The first route ran five miles westward from Bittern to the common point of the different surveys, and then ascended the northern slope of Red Hill, descending into Flinders The second route branched off in a south west direction from Bittern to Merricks and Shoreham and thence, keeping near the foreshore of Western Port reached Flinders in close on fifteen miles from Bittern.

Although the latter proposal was the shorter and less costly, it had the defect that it would, for the last six miles of its length, gather traffic practically from one side only, as it ran parallel with and near to the western shore of Westernport.

How to vitiate your curriculum vitae

By Stuart McCullough MY first instinct was to panic. When news broke that Myers had dismissed a senior executive on his first day for a resume they regarded more a work of fiction than a statement of fact, I feared the worst. For upon being told that somebody’s CV is inaccurate, I am loathe to judge. Some may regard such documents as a sacrosanct regurgitation of times, places and events.

I, on the other hand, consider my curriculum vitae to be something of a creative wonderland; one in which I can let my imagination run wild before sitting down for a short break and running some more. But if the tide has finally turned against unlicensed creative license, then allow me to take the initiative and set the record straight.

Contrary to any impression my resume might create, I did not invent Blu Tack. I have, however, used Blu Tack over a number of years – even in rental properties that had a strict ‘No Blu Tack’ policy – but cannot in good conscience claim credit for its development and subsequent commercial sale. It is true that I developed a technique for removing unwanted Blu Tack from wallpaper which revolved around forming a big blue ball and using it as a sponge. To date, I’ve never seen anyone equal my Blu Tack removal skills. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I reinvented Blu Tack rather than invented it at first instance. When you read my curriculum vitae, I strongly suggest you delete the second line on the first page.

Technically – officially and in every other sense – I was never a touring

Looking for his next challenge: “Stuart McCullough” after his successful summit of Mount Everist.

member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. That said, I have seen Cave and his band on several occasions and own several suits. I also have a t-shirt with “Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds” on it, so when I claim that I’m “in” the band, that’s true about once a fortnight when I work through my t-shirt rotation system. Frankly, near enough ought to be good enough on that one.

But for those killjoys who insist on

interpreting everything literally, perhaps you should skip page two. When you get to the third paragraph on the third page, disregard it completely.

I have never been nominated for an Academy Award. Frankly (and if we’re being honest) you’ve only yourself to blame if you believed that one.

I doubt very much there’s a category for Best On-site Catering In A Short Film – Animated.

I’ve long thought that the less heralded occupations in the film-making industry should get their fair share of the limelight. Indeed, the Oscars would be a whole lot more enjoyable if the guy who’d just taken out Best Gaffer was allowed to make a speech.

I was not a junior tennis champion.

My house is not cluttered with trophies and medallions, the souvenirs of a blossoming career cut cruelly short by a freak second-knuckle injury that forced me to instantly retire. I did have a number of tennis lessons at the Tyabb tennis court beside the V-Line track and remain the record holder for Most Balls Lobbed Over the Fence into the Path of an On-Coming Freight Train. Which, if it doesn’t make me a “champion” per se, at least makes me something of a legend, even if I do say so myself (and I do). I did, however, have the disposition of a junior tennis champion. This involved tipping over chairs and arguing with adults on a regular basis before storming off either to the change room (where one was available) or the chook sheds.

Johnny Young, to the best of my knowledge, has never bestowed the title of Honorary Cast Member on anyone and, if he has, he certainly didn’t throw that accolade in my direction. If only. Surely the ultimate stamp of approval from Johnny would beat an Order of Australia hands down, and even give a knighthood a serious run for its money. I long for a day when I have the initials, “HCM – YTT” after my name instead of an ordinary full stop.

Consequently, pay no attention to the second half of page four.

There is no such thing as the Herve

Villachez Award for Short Fiction, although I dearly wish there was. Please delete any reference to it. Ditto the MC Hammer Prize for Poetry. The Little Lebowski Urban Achievers Award is something I saw in a movie once and not a prize I actually received. The keys to the city of Tyabb were never formally bestowed on me, largely owing to the fact that the town has an “open door” policy.

I am not the reason The Beatles split, but I am spending a lot of time trying to encourage One Direction to do the honourable thing and break up so that they can fulfil their ultimate destinies by getting jobs in the fast food restaurant of their choice.

My interests do not include reading, bushwalking or helping animals. I can barely remember the last time I even left the house except to go to work or the shops, much less read anything that wasn’t on the internet. The Hungry Kids of Hungary is not so much a charity I support as it was a band I liked until they stupidly chucked it all in and broke up. In fact, now that I think about, if you could walk to the kitchen and set fire to my CV in the sink, you’d be doing me a HUGE favour.

Better yet, forget I ever sent it to you.

Delete it from your hard-drive and expunge it forever from your memory.

Pretend we never met. Because, after all, who of us can truly say that we know another human being? Particularly after reading their curriculum vitae. So, if after reading this you still want to employ me, feel free to drop me a line. Just don’t tell me anything about yourself. I won’t believe a word. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance BAZ Luhrmann’s much-loved hit show Strictly Ballroom The Musical will open in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre in January 2015, with tickets going on sale on Monday 21 July from www.ticketek.com.au.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical had its global premiere on Saturday 12 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. This new production is staged by the original creative team behind the classic 1992 film, including director and co-writer Baz Luhrmann.

Playing the pivotal roles of Scott Hastings and Fran are Thomas Lacey and Phoebe Panaretos who lead an outstanding Australian cast of 43 including Bob Baines as Les Kendall, Drew Forsythe as Doug Hastings, Natalie Gamsu as Abuela, Robert Grubb as Barry Fife, Fernando Mira as Rico, Heather Mitchell as Shirley Hastings and Mark OwenTaylor as J J Silvers.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting and courageous tale originated as a stage play that Baz Luhrmann devised with a group of students at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) back in 1984.

Strictly Ballroom went on to become one of the most successful Australian films of all time, earning more than $80 million at the box office. Discovered at the Cannes Film Festival, it was winner of the Prix de Jeunnesse and runner up for the Palme D’Or. When released in Australia, Strictly Ballroom swept the field at the 1992 Australian Film Institute (AFI) Awards, gaining 13 nominations and winning eight major categories. It was also a major success at the 1993 BAFTA awards, where it garnered eight nominations and won three awards, including Best Costume Design, Best Original Film Score and Best Production Design.

Other accolades included a 1994 Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture, Newcomer of the Year at the 1993 London Critics Circle Film Awards, the People’s Choice at the 1992 Toronto International Film Festival and Most Popular Film at the Vancouver International Film Festival. With the success of the film, its closing song, a remake of the John Paul Young song Love is in the

Air, re-entered the Australian charts and became a Top 5 hit in October 1992.

Advance tickets are available now until Sunday 20 July 2014 or until presale tickets sell out at www.visaentertainment.com.au www.strictlyballroomthemusical.com *** SACRED Heart Mission has announced a dazzling line-up for its annual fundraiser, The Heart of St Kilda Concert at the Palais in St Kilda, on August 13th.

Now in its seventh year, this highlight of the Melbourne live music and comedy calendar draws Australia’s finest and this year is no exception, with RocKwiz co-presenter, Brian Nankervis as the MC. A big line-up of entertainment including Colleen Hewett, Phil Ceberano, The Basics, Vika & Linda Bull, Tim Rogers, Greg Champion, Julia Morris, Billy Miller and many more. Tickets 136 100. *** IT was announced last week by Aus-

tralian theatre producer John Frost and Opera Australia artistic director Lyndon Terracini that Jason Scott Lee has had to withdraw from their production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic Broadway musical The King and I in Melbourne. Lee has torn a calf muscle which will preclude him from performing for the rest of the season.

Replacing him will be international film and television actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who made his Broadway debut as The King in John Frost’s production in 1996 opposite Donna Murphy.

Phillips played the role for more than 550 performances, won a Theatre World Award and was nominated for both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for his performance.

Phillips has just completed his third season of the hit series Longmire as Henry Standing Bear, and stars in the upcoming film The 33 based on the true story of the Chilean Miners, opposite Antonio Banderas and Juliet Binoche

and produced by Phoenix Pictures. Phillips’ breakthrough came when he starred in the film La Bamba as Ritchie Valens.

He earned a supporting actor Golden Globe Award nomination and Independent Spirit Award for his role in Stand and Deliver. Other notable films in which Phillips has starred include Courage Under Fire, Young Guns, Extreme Justice and Che, and his television performances include Numb3rs, 24, Law and Order SVU, Cougar Town, Miami Vice, Chuck and American Dad. Lou Diamond Phillips will play The King opposite Lisa McCune in the Tony Award-winning production, which has received glowing reviews. Phillips will fly to Melbourne when he finishes filming later this week, and his first performance will be on 10 July.

The King and I plays at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne until 31 August. www.thekingandimusical.com.au *** TAYLOR Swift’s Red tour has become the biggest earner for a country act.

friends, I’ll try for a lighter touch. *** SOME things stay forever. The movie scene and the song To Sir With Love beautifully sung by tiny Lulu, equalled by the look on Sydney Poitier’s face, way back mid 60s. Sweet, so sweet. *** CIRCA 1970s recession when the Commonwealth Bank convinced me to transfer my $5000 savings account to a trading account with the assurance it would not affect my housing loan qualification; later having my application refused because the trading bank balance did not apply. A broker and a loan at 11 per cent cost me thousands; no comeback. To the State Savings Bank – until forced to return in the 1990s. This current CBA is to review the later compensation cases, GFC and all that, supposedly ridding themselves of rogue advisers. Almost as if it wasn’t their fault? An independant non-independant review? Tony Abbott says “the public expects appropriate action”. Funny fellow. *** I READ the Herald Sun once weekly to keep in touch with the madding crowd.

Particularly “Your say, 50/50, text talk and letters”, plus Lord Jeffrey on everything and anything. Can someone shout

the man a holiday in Egypt for a year?

I also read Jonathan Cainer on the starsigns. Wonderful insights like “What are you getting caught up in? Isn’t it time to break free? This solstice can change your life. Call me on...” more rubbish at expensive rates. *** REPORTER Peter Greste cops seven years courtesy of the spooky Egyptian regime. Says PM Tony: “My undertanding is the Egypt court system DOES work at arms length from the government.” He has to say that. Based on the reported evidence against Greste, had News Ltd’s Rebekah Brooks (cleared on all charges) been tried in pyramid land, she would have copped life – and everafter. Rebekah is the type of female I’d like to have dinner with. Conviction without evidence is nothing new. Ask ASIO, Scott Morrison, Kevin Andrews or David Hicks. *** SOME things go through to the keeper without a second (or first) thought. Australian of the Year? Four categories; the big one, senior Aussie, young Aussie and local hero. We have Adam Goodes as numero uno, no doubt a nice enough bloke but surely Dane Swan should have bolted in? It’s a joke, thoroughly

controlled by our government (both sides) to ensure all is well in the state of Denmark. Who were the past two winners in all categories without using Google? You don’t know and we don’t care. (Nominations for the next Aussie of the year are open at australianoftheyear.org.au Senior category for Cliffie). *** THE good people of Bendigo don’t want a mosque, planned to be built on undeveloped industrial land. One assumes they have no objection to our government (both sides) spending millions on the chaplains schools program.

The danger of Sharia law against the safety of the Masons, Micks and Prodos. I live next to a public carpark – real noise and danger. Letter to a newspaper: “When peaceful moslems line up for prayers, how do they know if the person next to them is potentially a terrorist or not? We have to put our emotions aside and let common sense prevail.” It can’t prevail if it’s not there buddy. Try standing for the Ode at an RSL, or anywhere in a queue at a Collingwood Essendon game. Ever alert? *** IT’S all orchids for Frankston. Premier Dennis pays a visit and walks the streets.

now on DVD and Blu Ray. www.roadshow.com.au *** SONY Music has announced Family Life, the brand new studio album from Adam Harvey, will be released on Friday 22 August.

With a career spanning almost twenty years, half a million album sales, gold and platinum albums and eight Golden Guitar Awards, Harvey is one of Australia’s most popular and enduring recording artists.

The new album follows on from the outstanding success of The Great Country Songbook, his platinum selling album with Troy Cassar-Daley.

Family Life is a collection of personal stories and observations that will resonate with people of all ages from all walks of life.

Some are heartfelt, some are humorous and they’re all delivered with Harvey’s impeccable vocal phrasing and expression. They tell of Harvey’s experience as a husband, father and son… of a man who is content with his life.

Family Life contains 12 new recordings, including the first single She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful, a simple, infectious song about a man’s appreciation of a modest woman. This highly anticipated new single is already playing on radio with the video due in the coming days.

There’s also a beautiful duet with Harvey’s twelve year old daughter Leylah, a cover of Daddy What If, the classic Shel Silverstein song made famous by Bobby Bare.

“Recording a duet with my baby girl Leylah was not only a highlight of this album, but also of my career,” says Harvey. “I’m so proud of the way she sang in the studio, and I still get teary when I play the track and think about it.”

Harvey will appear at the York on Lilydale in Mt Evelyn October 19th and the Hallam Hotel October 22. www.adamharvey.com.au

A Grain of Salt JULY snuck up on us, greeted by the weather week from hell and more price increases, not forgetting the new amazing “couples counselling” at $200 a throw to prevent divorces. A sense of humour becomes a necessity absolute, as in vodka. Kevin Andrews is losing it, hopefully. It’s one thing to suggest our government is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and Paul may well approve, but the problem is Peter, who doesn’t appear to have a clue, particularly if his opinions are formed by reading a daily newspaper. “Ignorance is the primary enemy of mankind.” [Hemingway]. *** AM I cynical as some suggest? I take these comments “on board” as an exercise in self examination, calling for one of my famous surveys. An extensive search located just two readers. Few of us see our own faults and all of us are of sound reason while there are none. A broken arm or leg no problem; doctor doctor. But a broken mind? Lust, envy, anger, ambition and other faults come to mind, none of which apply to me. Perhaps I’m like the fellow who switched the light off so the mosquito couldn’t find him. As it happens I’m sane; the problem lies with those who disagree with me. Still, in the spirit of my two

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Dud Buds fail to find a single major NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt ROSEBUD doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to play in the Nepean League finals this season.

A side that cannot kick a single goal in one of its biggest matches of the year against its biggest rival does not deserve to be part of the big boy action at the end of the year.

The Buds booted only 20 behinds on Saturday versus Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14.8 (92).

The Demons belted Rosebud by a whopping 72 points and in the process, shunted them from the top five.

The Buds percentage took a massive blow also, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still much better than Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Frankly, Rosebud has been the most disappointing side in 2014.

One straight kick away from playing in a grand final last season, the Buds have far from hit the heights of last year. In fact, they have spiralled backwards.

Many have gone into protective mode on behalf of Rosebud, yours truly included at the midway mark of the season.

However, those narrow losses at the beginning of the season were nothing more than a smoke screen for the real issue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Buds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that good.

Crib Point and Red Hill have moved past them, Dromana and Sorrento have steamrolled by.

And now Rye has proven for the second time this season that it also has the Buds covered.

Rye went into the clash without its best player, Rhett Sutton.

Rosebud went in without arguably its best player, Greg Bentley. There werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of others missing.

In essence, once again, there couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a lot of excuses made for the Buds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were just ordinary.

On the other side of the ledger, Rye got its game going once again.

Talk about the Jeckyl and Hyde of the competition!

Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best is devastating. Its worst is nothing short of pathetic.

It seems fifth spot is the only position on the ladder that is up for grabs. Funny thing is, it appears that Rye, Hastings and Rosebud are having awful trouble claiming it.

The real story will be told this Saturday when Rosebud and Hastings go head to head.

It seems to be a two-horse race now between the Blues and Demons. The Blues have the better draw.

Ryan Semmel (three goals), after a shaky start to the season, dominated the match on Saturday for the Demons.

This was in the wake of the launch of the reality television show, The Rookie, which aired on Fox Footy on Sunday night.

Ryan seems to have found his groove, which is simply sensational.

He is a class above and after taking a rocket in one of his first games of the

Yabbies trounced: Hastings thrashed Tyabb 207 points to 29. Picture: Andrew Hurst

year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responded and come out the other side much better.

Aaron Findlay played a different role and was superb, while Jay Bruno played his best game for a few weeks.

Jayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just got to find that level of consistency.

Luke Semmel (two goals) and Ben Cain were also in charge in the engine room for the Demons.

Rosebud didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any goal kickers to speak of.

Jack Jarman and Tyle Williams worked tirelessly for the Buds and Ryan Spooner and Sam Krumeich always do their best. Their efforts just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough to help their side kick a goal!

Twenty minutes down the road at Sorrento, the home side threw a spanner into the works, outclassing reigning premiers Dromana to the tune of 25 points.

The Tigers got away to a flier and opened up a 15-point lead at the first change. It appeared as though the Tigers had the measure of the home side yet again.

At half time, while the margin had been reduced to eight points, Dromana still led the contest with the likes of Christian Ongarello doing the job down back and Anthony Bruhn looking sharp in attack.

However, in the second quarter, you could feel the momentum shift and the Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seven scoring shots to five

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring the return it should have.

But without star forward Leigh Poholke, who was representing his state in the country football championships, the Sharks looked only a slight chance of being able to get in front.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long into the third quarter before the Sorrento engine really started to crank up.

The Sharks needed to get first hands on the footy and they needed their guns to stand-up in the big moment.

James Hallahan and Leigh Treeby were the two that stepped to the front of the line.

Along with the experienced campaigners in Grant Johnson and Trevor Mattison, Hallahan and Treeby grabbed the match by the scruff and booted five goals between them.

Despite trailing by a little over a goal at the major interval, the Sharks booted six goals to one in the third term to open up a 20 point lead. They increased that by five points at the close of play.

Ryan Jeffrey stepped up to the plate also and booted three goals, while Tyrren Head, who has been in the footy wilderness for a while, played his best game for the season.

Ryan Williams needed to play a big game for the Sharks too and he responded.

It was a superb effort from Sorrento, who has been playing in the shadow of the Tigers for some time now.

Even more impressive is that there

a lot of new faces in the Sorrento team. The likes of Zac Byrns, James Brigden, Luke Soligo, Nat Diconza and James Pitcher. Even the likes of Matt Dobrowski havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played a lot of football.

Hastings did what was expected of them and recorded a big victory over Tyabb.

The Blues booted 16 goals in the first half and another 14 in the second hour, finishing with 57 scoring shots to just nine.

The Blues were dominant from the first bounce after a fade-out last week and there was no relenting this time around.

Jason Kestle was back in the senior side after just one game in the reserves and finished with a major.

Dylan Hand was the star of the show.

He was provided plenty of supply at full forward and responded with ten goals.

Colin McVeigh came back to a bit of form after having his colours lowered last week and finished with five majors, while Luke Hewitt and Dan Noble got their hands on the footy enough times to kick four majors each.

Steven Robb and Taylor Tratton have been the Bluesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best players this season (along with McVeigh) and they were at their best again on Saturday.

Steve Charalambous was also good, however, he needs to find his best when the heat is on, not when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one way

footy.

Jake Anderson worked hard for the Yabbies with a couple of goals while Tyson Sparks and Michael Frost collected the top votes.

Crib Point welcomed yet another tough encounter and once again was able to come away with the four points.

Up against Frankston Bombers, who had won their past two matches, the Pies put them to the sword early and never looked in any danger after that.

Brad Davidson was dominant with four majors while Dean Warry and Jon Flack (three goals) were in total control.

James Degenhardt (three goals) and Jay Reynolds were the best of the Bombers, while Shaun Foster was also very good in attack with three majors.

Devon Meadows turned around a string of seven straight losses to smash Pearcedale in the battle of the Panthers.

Devon was keen to arrest a shocking mid-season slump and they were keen to play attacking footy from the outset.

The visitors have had a lot of injuries this season, however, on Saturday, it was Pearcedale that was undermanned.

The Dales looked like a side of under 18s players, missing the big bodies of Ben Mitchell and Luke Murray, while Dylan Hoare and Andrew Douglas were also missing.

The result was a 70-point smashing.

The Panthers booted 15.9 (99) to 4.5 (29).

Daniel Andrew made it 13 goals from 12 games this season with four majors on Saturday, while Troy Aust and James Bow (37 goals for the season) also finished with four goals.

Michael Hobbs and Heath Black dominated for the duration of the match, while Alex and Chris Doria also played their best games collectively for the season.

Dean Janssen works his butt off each and every match and Saturday was no exception for the Pearcedale defender, while Travis Sauer and Matty Smith continue to fly the flag.

Red Hill was never going to have too much trouble against Somerville.

The Eagles played a number behind the footy from the first bounce and the result was restricting Red Hill to 7.10 (58).

The Eagles themselves had to wait until the 20 minute mark of the last quarter before it kicked a goal.

The Hillmen fielded their weakest side for the season, however, four of those who missed on Saturday are expected to play against Sorrento this week.

Michael Dillon and Paul Wintle starred for the Hillmen yet again, as did Jake Mitchell.

Jedd Sutton and Leigh Stewart were names the best for the Eagles.

The Kangas bounce back PENINSULA LEAGUE

Withers, Jarryd Amalfi, Steve O’Brien and Matt Dimkos back in team, Langwarrin resembled a more formidable side.

In fact, the Kangaroos fielded their strongest side in almost two months.

Regardless of the win however, coach Gavin Artico would not have been happy with his side’s third quarter.

After leading by 49 points at half time and restricting the opposition to one goal in a half of football, the visitors went to sleep in the third term and Karingal responded.

The Bulls kicked 5.7 to 2.8 with the aid of the wind in the third term to reduce the margin to just 25 points at the last change.

Michael Burke was at his best and

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN played its strongest side in more than a month on Saturday and the result was a 51 point win against Karingal.

The win saw Langwarrin move back inside the top five, replacing Mt Eliza by percentage.

The Kangas got away to a great start to the season, winning five matches on the trot.

However, injuries and matches against the top sides in the competition saw the blue and white lose their next six games, which included clashes against Pines and Mt Eliza.

However, on Saturday, with the likes of Aaron Shaw, Andrew

causing plenty of headaches, while Hadley Tomamichel with three goals and George Angelopoulos with a couple were getting a heap of the footy also.

Langwarrin needed to respond with a big final quarter and it did, kicking five goals to one to win 16.12 (108) to 7.15 (57).

Beau Muston was superb with five majors for the Kangas, while Matt Dimkos and Dylan Luxa each booted three majors. Luxa has been superb this season.

Amalfi was sensational and Nick Tuddenham has been a revelation since coming back from the Dolphins.

The Kangas need his quality in the side.

Bonbeach completed the expected

and got the job done against Seaford.

The Tigers had a purple patch there for a while but recently things have fallen apart a little.

According to coach Ben Crowe, the season now is about teaching the kids in the club how to play senior footy.

“It’s all pretty new to me, teaching young blokes how to go about being a senior footballer but I’m loving the challenge of it,” Crowe told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning.

“They have a wonderful passion to learn and we have some great, talented kids at the club. The key is to keep them all positive and improving or the rest of the season.

“We can’t make finals but we are keen to help shape the top five and give some sides a headache along the

way.”

Unfortunately for the Tigers, they weren’t much of a headache for Bonbeach on Saturday.

The Sharks led by only 24 points at half time and it appeared as though the Tigers were doing the job, however, 11 goals to three in the second half saw the final margin blow out to 73 points, 16.14 (110) to 4.13 (37).

Shane McDonald booted three for the winners while a further ten players contributed on the scoreboard.

Mark Tyrell dominated, Gary Carpenter continued his brilliant run of form and Ricky Ferraro was at his finest.

Nick Boswell and Rory Luxton were the best of the Tigers.

Winter golf invitational on at Eagle Ridge Open to members and public golfers alike, the Eagle Ridge Winter Invitational is a great excuse to get some mates together for a friendly competition and a fun day out.
