The Return Of An Icon
THE world-class $120 million-dollar restoration of Sorrento’s historic Hotel Continental will soon be complete, with the new precinct set to open its doors as The Continental Sorrento in March 2022. The Continental is a first-of-its-kind combination of vibrant hospitality venues, luxury accommodation and a state-of-the-art wellness centre and bathhouse, that will bring a touch of Europe to Sorrento, while celebrating the history of Victoria’s most popular seaside town. The restored icon will welcome the world’s largest luxury hotel brand, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, with the opening of InterContinental

Sorrento Mornington Peninsula. The precinct will also showcase Aurora Spa & Bathhouse, Lyndall Mitchell’s pioneering urban retreat from St Kilda, totally reinvented for its new location, alongside an impressive selection of six food and beverage venues - from fine dining to casual – and four incredible function spaces. The food and beverage venues will be operated by chef and restauranteur, Scott Pickett, in partnership with renowned publican, Craig Shearer of Kickon Group. The beverage menu is also sure to impress, with the awardwinning cocktail team, Speakeasy Group, appointed to curate a list of innovative and seasonal drinks.
22 December 2021
Craig Shearer, Founder and Director of Kickon Group, explains “The Continental Sorrento will see the best in Australian hospitality come together to deliver a range of experiences within the one precinct – which is what will set us apart. Whether you’re after a casual beer with your mates, a five-star dining experience, or to sip cocktails and dance until late, you can do all of that and more under The Continental roof.” “Lots of us have very fond memories of The Conti, so I am excited to see a new generation of memories be made,” Shearer continued. Architecturally designed by Woods Bagot and spanning 20,000-square-
metres, six levels and five buildings, the reimagined Continental draws inspiration from the local coastline and the building’s rich 146-year history, retaining plenty of its original character and paying tribute to George Coppin, who founded the original venue in 1875. Complementing the awe-inspiring architecture will be a sophisticated and diverse art program, curated around the themes of nostalgia and romanticism. Robert DiCintio, Development Manager and part-owner of The Continental, says “the revival of this famous Sorrento site brings much excitement to the hospitality and tourism industries, while simultaneously
giving the Mornington Peninsula economy a much-needed boost. We can’t wait to welcome Peninsula locals, visitors from all across Australia and even guests from abroad to what will be a truly world-class destination”, says DiCintio. The Continental Sorrento is now hiring for its food and beverage venues, with casual roles and career opportunities available to people of all skill levels.

Jimmy’s offers a haven to the young YOUNG people feeling challenged by their teenage years, life circumstances, or want to find somewhere they can just be themselves are welcome to visit Jimmy’s at Rosebud. The sanctuary for marginalised, disengaged, and disadvantaged youth on the Mornington Peninsula is the creation of philanthropist Sarah Darling and the Jimmy’s Foundation board. It was opened by Flinders MP Greg Hunt on Monday 13 December and will be managed and fostered by the YMCA Peninsula Youth Services. About 75 per cent of mental health problems are said to occur before a person turns 25; one in 10 of those aged 12-17 years will self-harm, one in 13 will seriously consider suicide, and one in 40 will attempt suicide. Since opening on 1 November, 31 “young locals” have taken part in Jimmy’s programs with the aim of
strengthening their mental and emotional health. Mr Hunt said he was proud to be supporting the “improved mental health of young Australians through Jimmy’s Foundation”. “We know that one in four … will experience some form of mental health challenge each year,” he said. “Organisations like Jimmy’s Foundation and the YPYS are there to listen to your concerns and help you get on the right track to improved mental health.” Jimmy’s is at 827-829 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud. THE official opening of Jimmy’s at Rosebud saw a mixed crowd at the Point Nepean Road centre, and the help-yourself food tables proved to be among the biggest attractions. Picture: Yanni
Sanctuary plan for quarry site Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE founding CEO and former chair of Parks Victoria has developed a proposal he calls a “win for the environment and for the Ross Trust”. Success of the plan will depend on the state government buying land from the trust. Professor Jeff Floyd was a signatory to an open letter organised by the Save Arthurs Seat group calling on the philanthropic charity RE Ross Trust to abandon its plans for a new quarry on Arthurs Seat. Their campaign was successful, with the trust announcing last week it had abandoned its plans. (‘Peoplepower’ ends quarry bid” The News 13/12/21). “Since signing that letter, I have been working independently on a solution for this highly controversial proposal that would deliver a win for
Professor Jeff Floyd the environment and for the Ross Trust,” Professor Floyd said. His proposal, A Vision for the Arthurs Seat Parklands, involves creating habitat and wildlife corridor across the Arthurs Seat escarpment,
taking in the Arthurs Seat State Park and land owned by the Ross Trust; the creation of the Roy Everard Ross Nature Sanctuary on the site; and the state government buying the Ross Trust properties. Professor Floyd said the nature sanctuary would be a “safe haven for endangered wildlife, a showcase for conservation best practice and a place to celebrate the spiritual meaning and use of this land by the Traditional Owners”. He said the Roy Everard Ross Environment Centre on the old quarry site, once operations cease, could include a Traditional Owner cultural history interpretive space; a Roy Everard Ross profile space; a forest therapy facility; eco-accommodation pods; walking and nature therapy trails into the surrounding state park, and environmental and cultural education programs for the community. “There is a better way to honour
Roy Everard Ross than a quarry, through the establishment in his name of two permanent environmental assets for the people of Victoria,” Professor Floyd said. “The state government needs to step in, acquire the Trust’s properties and put an end to the new quarry proposal for all time.” Hillview Quarries CEO Paul Nitas said the company had already “started discussions with the Victorian government on how we can work with them to plan and prepare for the best future use options for the site”. He said the company was preparing to restore the site. “The concept of rehabilitation is not new to the extractive industry. We have been planning for rehabilitation since 2018,” Mr Nitas said. “We remain committed to pursuing the environment effects statement with the specific purpose of finding the right and compliant rehabilitation plan to en-

able the best possible future use of this site. This is a legal requirement.” Professor Floyd said there were plenty of precedents for state governments to protect the environment by land acquisition, either by negotiation or compulsory acquisition. “The land sale proceeds, plus the substantial funds already held by the Trust, will allow it to exit quarrying and focus on its community support work. “With these key sites in public ownership, the state government can then appoint a committee-of-management to realise a new vision for these lands, in partnership with the Traditional Owners and Parks Victoria.” Professor Floyd said there were many precedents for the acquisition of land, with the sale proceeds allowing the trust to “exit quarrying and focus on its philanthropic work”. The documents had been sent to the Ross Trust and to the state government.

‘Pest’ fears over hydrogen exports FEARS are held overt the export of hydrogen from Western Port leading to the import of marine pests. Kawasaki Heavy Industries has agreed to conduct surveys to monitor Western Port for marine pests already introduced into Port Phillip by ships from Japan. The hydrogen being transported from western Port to Japan is being produced from brown coal in the Latrobe Valley, a process that depends for success on carbon being stored underground through CCS (carbon capture and storage). The hydrogen from brown coal project began more than a decade ago and the state and federal governments each gave $50 million towards the $400m trial. This figure does not include extra money being spent by government on CCS research, which is already under way. Environment groups including Ninety Mile against Carbon Storage are opposed to CCS and say the “so-called ‘blue hydrogen’ projects that rely on unproven CCS technology would entrench the unnecessary use of fossil fuels in energy production”, Since the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain Project (HESC) began, experts, including the CSIRO, have suggested the cost of making hydrogen through renewable electricity powered electrolysis will be competitive if not equal to brown coal by 2025. “In summary the HECS trial is taking 160 tonnes of brown coal, burning it, producing three tonnes of hydrogen and 100 tonnes of emissions. The trial will offset its emissions by buying carbon credits. The technology to capture the emissions and store them in the Bass
AN artist’s impression of a hydrogen transport ship berthed at Hastings. Surveys nare underway to help determine if the ships from Japan would introduce marine pests to Western Port. Strait has not been finalised, proven or been shown to be economically viable,” former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Simon Brooks said (“Brown coal to hydrogen: responsible or risky” The News 12/4/21). Kawasaki agreed to the marine surveys after requests from eight environmental groups, led by Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council (WPPC), an organisation with 50 years of experience in Western Port. Early detection was the “only hope” to eradicate northern Pacific seastars (Asterias amuren-
sis) and Japanese kelp (Undaria pinnatifida), said the WPPC’s secretary Karri Giles. “If introduced, these pests could prove devastating to the bay’s diversity, ecology, fish stocks and water quality,” Ms Giles said. “We don’t want ships from Japan entering Western Port to export hydrogen long-term because of the risk of introducing these serious marine pests, which have already been introduced to Port Phillip.” Yaringa Boat Harbour and Stony Point jetty have been given the all clear after marine pest
surveys were conducted for the WPPC and Save Westernport by Fathom Pacific. The undersea work was carried out by the consulting and research firm that specialises in marine and freshwater areas through a federal government grant. The company says it is “committed to delivering state-of-the-art solutions and high-quality outcomes”. Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ senior staff officer Yuko Fukuma said the first of its marine survey would “assess the risk profile of the Port of Kobe, the Port of Hastings and the [hydrogen carrier ship] Suiso Frontier to determine the marine pest risk from the Suiso Frontier travelling between the two ports”. The 116 metre, 8000 tonne Suiso Frontier, launched in December 2019 as part of the brown-coal-to-hydrogen demonstration project, is expected to arrive in Western Port before March next year. The first stage of the marine survey looked at the environmental similarities and differences between the ports, such as water temperatures, seabed types, current and nutrient regimes and existing levels of ecological disturbance. Using those findings as a baseline, the consultants will next investigate what marine pests already exist in Western Port ahead of the Suiso Frontier’s arrival. “This survey work will be repeated several months after the vessel has departed in 2022 to assess whether any new marine pests have appeared,” Yuko Fukuma said, adding that the results would be “shared” in the second half of 2022.

Council has rules for aspiring MPs Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors seeking election to either state of federal parliament do not have to stand down until after their nominations are lodged with the electoral office. IN the year since being elected (November 2020), three of the shire’s 11 councillors have shown ambitions to stand for either state or federal government. TWO are now candidates and one tried but missed out on getting a seat in state parliament. Rules for councillors wanting to be MPs have been highlighted by Cr Despi O’Connor announcing her intention to stand as an independent in next year’s federal election and Cr Paul Mercurio becoming Labor’s candidate for the state seat of Hastings.
The federal election can be held as late as May next year followed by the state in November. Cr O’Connor last week stood down from her role as a Briars ward councillor to concentrate on her election campaign to win the seat of Flinders being left vacant by the retirement of Greg Hunt who has held the seat for the Liberal party for 20 years. She will return her council-supplied mobile phone, computer, home office hardware iPad and building access card. Cr Mercurio is the endorsed Labor Party candidate for Hastings at the November 2022 state election. Unless he chooses to follow Cr O’Connor’s example and take leave of absence, he can remain as an active councillor until his nomination is lodged with the Victorian Electoral Commission. However, he cannot use councilprovided equipment or “resources” for
election campaigning. Cr Mercurio was chosen by Labor’s administrators despite the Western Port branch voting in favour of Joshua Sinclair, office manager to Nepean Labor MP Chris Brayne and failed Labor candidate for Flinders in 2013 and 2019. Cr Mercurio represents the singlecouncillor Watson ward while Cr O’Connor has two Briars ward council colleagues, Steve Holland and the mayor Anthony Marsh. In October, Cr Holland missed out on being chosen to fill the Liberal Party vacancy in Eastern Province created by the resignation of Edward O’Donohue. If each of the three councillors was successful in being elected to parliament, the shire’s 11 councillors would have been whittled down to eight, with replacements being chosen through recounting votes cast in November 2020 (single-councillor ward)
or by-election. The shire’s legal and governance manager Amanda Sapolu last week told The News that councillors “have a duty to ensure any conflicts of interest are declared and managed, which includes any conflict that might arise as a result of being a candidate in a state or federal election”. “We are following the policy position of the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) on the candidature of councillors in state or federal elections. Guidance is also provided by the Local Government Act 2020, our councillor code of conduct and our governance rules,” Ms Sapolu said. “Councillors are prohibited from using council resources for electioneering purposes. “MAV guidance advises councillors need only take leave once their nomination has been delivered to the respective electoral office.” Ms Sapolu said Cr O’Connor, a
teacher, take leave as from15 December until the close of the polls in next year’s federal election. On Friday (17 December), Local Government Minister Shaun Leane Invited public participation in the Local Government Culture Project Discussion Paper. “Victorians deserve the best from their elected representatives, and this is an opportunity for the local government sector to work towards improving the culture of councils across the state so that they can best serve their communities,” he said. Mr Leane said the discussion paper identified three main themes: “role, responsibilities and supporting mechanisms”; “councillor journey”; and “dispute resolution and resolving conflict”. Feedback on the discussion paper is open until 28 February 2022. To read the paper and make a submission visit localgovernment.vic.gov.au

NEWS DESK No boundaries: Jeff Raglus’s works will feature at & Gallery this month and next. Picture: Supplied
Blurring lines in art A CONTEMPORARY artist who divides his time between music and the visual arts is gearing for an exhibition at & Gallery, Sorrento. Summer Romance, featuring works by Jeff Raglus, is running until 17 January, with an opening event 2-5pm, Monday 27 December, in the gallery’s COVID-19 safe carpark. The gallery’s Julie Collins said Raglus had formed a “cult-like following” by developing his brand and blurring and shifting the boundaries between graphic and fine art. “His creative and artistic influences vary from a mid-century vibe to a primitive and sometimes surreal take on what he calls surf/folk/pop,” she said. Ms Collins said there were no boundaries to the Raglus’s creativity, with art works ranging from painting and prints to collage and sculpture. “Only those who collect are privy to Jeff’s secret messages and drawings on the back of his works,” she said. Raglus has regularly exhibited since 1989 in both solo and group exhibitions and has been commissioned for collections in Australia and internationally. He has designed for Mambo, Swatch watches, the Arena Theatre Company and Ansett Airlines. He has designed numerous album covers, released four children’s books, and drawn hundreds of posters and t-shirt prints. Musically he has toured, played, recorded and released albums with The Bachelors From Prague, The Black Sorrows, The Beachniks, The

Flares are out MARITIME Safety Victoria and WorkSafe Victoria will be running a pilot program - FlareSafe - to improve boater safety and compliance with equipment requirements. Maritime safety director Shaun Rodenburg said that it was crucial to check the expiry date on flares. “Flares typically have a lifespan of three years from date of manufacture, but it can be hard to find a location to get rid of them,” he said. “The FlareSafe collection points will allow people to dispose of their old flares safely and conveniently.” FlareSafe will be held at Patterson River Launching Way Saturday, 8 January 2022 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

There is also a 500m swim for 7-11 year olds, the women’s 500m Tribe relay for teams of three, and the Dash 4 Cash sprint. The 1500m point-to-point course starts at the Cutting, near Portsea pier, with competitors swimming in Weeroona Bay before heading west around Police Point, along to finish at Jarman Oval. Past winners include six-time win-
ner Sam Sheppard, five-time winner Kelly Stubbins, Georgia Stott, Zac Charlton, Hamish McDougall, Nick Hinsley, Naantali Marshall, Rob Woodhouse, Penny O’Connell and Craig Riddington. The event is the major annual fundraiser for Portsea Surf Saving Club. “We are so excited to be able to offer an exciting, safe and expanded event after a challenging 18 months,” club president Matt Mahon said. “With limited swimming lessons and water play for children due to the global pandemic, never has it been more crucial to ensure our beaches are safe this summer.” The Portsea Swim Classic and Bay to Surf events will be conducted in a COVID-safe manner including QR code check-ins, and entrants will need proof of double vaccination.

Over the limit PUBLIC Order Response Team officers nabbed a driver in Main Street, Mornington, last week who allegedly blew 0.221 per cent – four times more than the legal limit. The man’s licence was immediately suspended, and his car was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1315, 9.30pm, Monday 13 December. The man will be summonsed to appear at a magistrate’s court at a later date charged with exceeding 0.05 per cent blood alcohol content and driving under the influence.
Test fail after crash POLICE responding to a collision on the Eastern Ring Road, Mornington, breath-tested one of the drivers and found he had a blood alcohol reading of 0.236 per cent, 1pm, Thursday 16 December. The 25-year-old Safety Beach man had his licence immediately suspended for 12 months. He is expected to be charged on summons with driving offences. Police said this was a timely reminder to stay safe on the roads this holiday season.
House fire ‘suspicious’ An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
ABOUT 18 FRV and CFA firefighters fought a house fire in Mornington on Sunday afternoon, 12 December. They were called to the Craigrossie Road fire about 1.30pm after a 000 caller reported flames and smoke coming from the vacant house The firefighters were on the scene within five minutes and quickly extin-
guished the flames, bringing the fire under control within seven minutes. The police are investigating the fire which they regard as being suspicious. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
Operation Roadwise VICTORIA Police is highlighting the impacts of road trauma in a new safety campaign this Christmas. The two-part video series shows families and friends sharing memories of loved ones they’ve lost and the heartache of spending Christmas without them. Families are pictured with a special Christmas bauble inscribed with their loved one’s name and age. Each bauble has been placed on a Christmas tree erected in the Victoria Police Centre foyer, with 226 baubles representing the 226 lives lost on the roads up until last weekend. The number of lives lost on Victorian roads this year is higher than last year when 211 deaths were recorded – despite the state spending much of the year in lockdown. The police last week launched Operation Roadwise to target high-risk driving over the Christmas period. Patrols on major roads will look out for speeding drivers and those impaired by alcohol and drugs, so those enjoying end-of-year celebrations are urged to think twice before getting behind the wheel. Last year more than 6200 speeding offences were detected over the Christmas and New Year periods. Ten lives were lost in the three weeks from 18 December 2020 to 6 January this year. The operation began on Friday and will end on Sunday 26 December.
Road reopens THE Bentons Road upgrade at Moorooduc is almost complete, although steel crash barriers are still to be installed. The road – one of the peninsula’s busiest east-west road corridors – will be temporarily reopened to traffic with a 60kph speed limit over the Christmas period. However, it will be closed again from 11 January to allow for the installation of the crash barriers and reopened in February. Construction works were delayed due to the pandemic, storm damage, wet weather and a shortage of materials.
Limited speed THE speed limit on Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento, and surrounding streets has been cut to 40kph. This comes after Mornington Peninsula Shire received $2.5 million from the state government for improved traffic management works, as well as road upgrades near the ferry terminal. The shire is working with Searoad Ferries, Department of Transport (VicRoads) and the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions on the works and upgrades. “Keeping our community safe in high traffic areas is essential, particularly during the peak season,” the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said. Other works due to begin next year include a roundabout at the intersection of Point Nepean Road and Hotham Road, Sorrento, and upgrades to Hotham Road between The Esplanade and Point Nepean Road.

COMMUNITY NOTICE CHANGES TO SUMMER WEEKLY COLLECTION SERVICES MORNINGTON PENINSULA SHIRE The Council’s Kerbside Waste Collection Contractor has been impacted by the global pandemic resulting in changes to the annual weekly holiday kerbside collection service.

Age-friendly award for ‘tireless volunteer’ ROSEBUD Italian Club president Lorenzo “Laurie” D’Alia has been named Elder of the Year in the Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor’s senior achiever award 2021. The award to Mr D’Alia was among several presented as part of the shire’s Delys Sargeant Age-Friendly Awards announced Tuesday 14 December. The awards recognise individuals, clubs, services or businesses that contribute to building a stronger community for older people on the peninsula. Mr D’Alia was described as a “tireless volunteer”. His citation said that during the pandemic lockdowns, he “visited many older, isolated members of the community, and assisted with care and transport for medical and personal appointments and dropping off food”. “For decades he has organised community functions, events and outings, where everyone is made to feel welcome and included. He has offered practical and emotional support to many people experiencing various life milestones and challenges.” “The [awards] value our older people and provide a public opportunity to thank people, clubs, businesses or organisations who have made a special contribution to reduce ageism and promote respect and inclusion of our older people,” the mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said. Peninsula Writers Club received two awards. The club, which has members aged into their 90s, offers support including assistance with transport, seating, discounts for seniors and technical support for online interactions. Winners will be presented with their awards at a civic event next year to “give them the public recognition they deserve”. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/delys-sargeantawards

Club looks to future after ‘difficult’ AGM Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au THE president and secretary of the Italian Seniors Social Club Dromana Inc are ‘looking to the future’ and ‘keen to put animosity behind them’ after a robust annual meeting on 26 November 2021 (“Apology call after ‘robust’ annual meeting” The News 15/12/21). “Tempers were frayed, and words spoken” said secretary of the club Mila Kellaway. “We believed we acted in the best interests of the club and the membership in electing a new committee, and we look forward to working with our members”. Ms Kellaway acknowledged the good work the previous committee had done, despite disagreements between the parties. “We don’t agree with everything that was done with the former committee. We could argue about that back and forward, but we think it is in everybody’s best interest to put it behind us.” Disagreement existed between the current and former committee about the donation of $46,000 to various charities. Former president Antonio Telera claimed he had the authority of the committee to make the donations, while the new committee believe the wider membership needed to be consulted and approval obtained. “At the end of the day, some very worthy charities have received donations! We will just need to work hard to rebuild the club back up,” said Ms Kellaway. She called on the previous commit-

tee to embrace the new committee. “Let us all put the bad blood behind us”. Councilor Antonella Celi, who was present at the meeting, said that what happened at the meeting was regrettable, and not reflective of the wonderful and vibrant Italian community on the peninsula. “This club, as well as other Italian social clubs, are places where community members can come together
for laughter, fun and fellowship.” Former president, Antonio Telera, expressed a desire from the previous committee to put the episode behind them. “The social club wasn’t a club to us. It was more like family. We are disappointed in what has happened but want the club to continue to be a place were people come together in harmony and community”.
DROMANA Drive-In has become a popular venue for school communities getting together to celebrate end-ofyear functions. This has come about as, over the past two years, the pandemic has forced many schools to think outside the square and to capitalise on the space and opportunities offered there. It is a trend that has pleased drive-in proprietor Paul Whitaker. “Some schools filmed their annual play, as they could not present it to parents, and we screened it here on the three big screens, with parents and the actors in the cars,” Mr Whitaker said. “Others did a live-to-screen-graduation presentation with a red carpet, lights, and lots of horns tooting and lights flashing.” While pandemic restrictions had put a strain on school-life, Mr Whitaker said the drive-in offered a welcome respite. “Many parents are saying the
students will remember the experience forever, especially after two years of COVID-19 lockdowns and homeschooling,” he said. “I have fun, too, getting around with my own cameras doing outside broadcasts.” Most schools had about 90 families per screen attending, but some of the bigger schools took all three screens on a night – with up to 480 cars. Primary schools taking part in the on-screen action included Dromana, Rosebud, Tootgarook, Red Hill Consolidated, Our Lady of Fatima, Derinya, Rowellyn Park, Somerville, Kunyung, St Josephs, St Marys, Flinders Christian College and Woodleigh. Community groups included The Gateway Church and Dancesation Dance School. The drive-in’s next big event is New Year’s Eve. Details: dromanadrivein.com.au

ON THE COVER
VICTORIAN ERA STUNNER A GRACIOUS BLEND OF OLD AND NEW ONE of Somerville’s original properties, this gorgeous charmer has been superbly renovated with modern inclusions yet still retains many of the glorious hallmarks of Victorian architecture. Dating back to 1903, this former bank managers home sublimely combines the old and new to create a rare lifestyle offering relaxed living and entertaining. The 697 square metre block is fully fenced and to the front, an impressive brick and bluestone pillar wall provides wonderful street presence and welcome privacy. Journey through the wrought iron gate and into the pretty front garden then up to the tiled porch with iron lacework
verandah and the tone is well and truly set for the delightful interior that unfolds from within the white trim French doors. Two large bedrooms open either side of the traditional entry hall; both have open fire places, that, as a feature of the time, open through into the living areas. Wonderfully bright with high ceilings and handsome polished timber floors, each room is adorned with feature brick and timber walls. A warm and inviting open plan family zone has great ambience with a comfortable dining area and a stunning kitchen has a slow combustion heater set into an open fireplace. With a gracious nod to modern convenience, a suite of quality
appliances include a dishwasher and a Smeg oven with gas cooktop and stainless-steel range hood. The kitchen also includes a window servery, wood-fired bread oven and a butlers pantry with instant hot water. A separate formal lounge opposite also includes an open fire and other living area or home office sits beside a third bedroom and the main bathroom which showcases a walk-in shower, leadlight window and suspended vanity. Externally, the dream continues with a large sheltered alfresco deck overlooking a sparkling in-ground pool and landscaped cottage gardens, and to the back corner is a double garage.n

THE PRESTIGE
7MATE, 10.45pm
Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) directed this electrifying thriller which examines the rivalry that exists between two illusionists. Rupert Angier (Hugh Jackman, left) is a magician who exists in the shadow of fellow conjurer Alfred Borden (Christian Bale). The shared unease is elevated when Borden pulls off a mindbending trick. Enraged, Angier is led down an obsessive path to try to expose Borden as a fraud by deploying his assistant (Scarlett Johansson) to spy on him.
FRIDAY
CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT
NINE, 8pm
Most of us, even if by accident, have tuned in for Carols By Candlelight and witnessed the crowd singing along. While a lot has changed since it began in 1938 as a way to bring people, including the less fortunate, together to celebrate carols and the Christmas spirit, the old-school tunes haven’t changed one bit. Hosts Allison Langdon and David Campbell (right) are joined by old favourites including Marina Prior and Anthony Callea.
MONDAY
FBI: MOST WANTED
TEN, 8.30pm
American police procedurals are reliably slick affairs, and there’s arguably no one better to create one than Dick Wolf, the veteran producer of the Law & Order franchise, as well as this engaging series. While viewers can expect a crimes to be solved by a bunch of world-weary police investigators, this series stands out from the pack in Australia because of its stars. Featuring American heartthrob Kellan Lutz (Twilight), it also features Aussie Julian McMahon (Nip/ Tuck, above) and Kiwi-Aussie Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider). In “Unhinged”, Hana (Castle-Hughes) rejoins the team.
There are probably a gazillion Christmasthemed episodes you could tune in to this year. But if you’re after a family-friendly, informative and jam-packed diversion, Better Homes and Gardens is a trusty and loved option. Joh (below) catches up with Bella Taylor Smith and Penny McNamee, who are singing at Carols In The Domain. Ed cooks a roasted vegie bake perfect to use up leftovers, as well as two other festive dishes. With the school holidays in mind, Melissa installs a stylish cubby house in the backyard.
Johanna Griggs is the host of Better Homes And Gardens Summer

The world is calling - college principal DUX and school captain Amy Uren with a score of 99.1 was among the 19 per cent of students at Toorak College with ATARs over 95 in the 2021 VCE results. The dux proximus (or next best) was international student Alina Xia, who has been unable to return home to see her family since the pandem-ic began. Her 98.65 is described as a “fitting reward for the hard work and sacrifices she has made to complete her VCE in Australia”. Almost one third of Toorak students received ATARS above 90, plac-ing them in the top 10 per cent in the state. However, the broader co-hort’s performance of median ATARs of 85 was described as the “standout”. This group featured students who were
ROBERTA Easton will display her glass work at the Mornington Art Show 20-26 January.
Art show readies for 50th year THE 50th anniversary Mornington Art show will feature about 700 paintings, work from glass artist Roberta Easton, artist and sculpture Neil Uren and coastal art hangings by Amber Skehan. “Glass blowing is such a captivating medium, a truly worthwhile and satisfying art form,” said Easton, who has been a professional glass blower for more than 20 years. “In 1990 I was introduced to glass and immediately formed a strong attraction. From this was born a commitment to pursue
glass as my chosen career.” A regular contributor to the show, Uren will be exhibiting some of his nearly one metre high wooden sculptures of birds and fish. Skehan uses natural materials to create “lasting memories of the peninsula seaside environment”. Works from VCE students at Toorak College, Balcombe Grammar and Mornington Secondary College will also be on display. Award winning artist Pamela Pretty will judge the 2022 show. Pretty
paints on location in the Yarra Valley, around Port Phillip, rural Victoria and New Zealand. Mainly using oil and pastel, her subjects are usually landscape, seascape and dramatic skies. The Mornington Art Show will be held in the studio and community house on the corner of Wilsons Road and Nepean Highway, Mornington. After opening night on 20 January, the show will open 10am-5pm daily until Australia Day, 26 January. Tickets online: morningtonartshow.com.au
supported to com-plete their entire year 12 year studying online in China. “This year, we celebrate every single student who completed their year 12 studies and sat their final exams,” principal Kristy Kendall said. “While the 2021 cohort continued the school’s trend of achieving AT-ARs among the top in the nation, it was the courage, resilience and per-severance that was shown by this group that will be remembered in years to come.” Ms Kendall said a third of the 2021 graduating class had already se-cured offers to some of Australia’s top universities. “These young women are not just ready to take on the world, the world is calling to them,” she said.
Santa is about to hit the street ALONG with Christmas, children from across the Mornington Peninsula hire are looking forward to the arrival of Santa. The bringer of good tidings (and presents) will guide his sleigh into Mornington and strolling up and down Main Street on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday meeting shoppers and children, 4-7pm, 21, 22 and 23 December. Storytime, another attraction, will be held on the corner of Queen and Main streets, 11am, 22 December. Main Street, between Barkly Street and the Esplanade, will be closed to vehicles until 1 February freeing up street space for outdoor dining and trading. During the street closure, roving entertainers, dance classes, face painting, Mornington Summer of Music concerts and outdoor dining will also be a feature in Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Dromana, Rosebud, Flinders, Rye, Blairgowrie, Sorrento and Portsea.

Councillor motives questioned following attempts to be MPs It is now obvious that many of our new [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors’ motives were purely to use our local government as a stepping stone to pursue a political career at state or federal level (“Politics peninsula-style” The News 14/12/21). Not too many of the current group declared their political affiliation at nomination time, although I do recall Cr Steve Holland clearly stated his [Liberal Party] affiliation in his election material. I am amazed that they could even consider such without putting any runs on the board locally. It would appear many entered council on a one issue basis only, which would raise concern over knowledge and contribution to the many other vital areas that will confront them. What happened to the days whereby to be considered for local council you established a long term proven track record and contribution to community organisations? Unfortunately, we have suffered as this current clique has made some outlandish decisions and statements that have totally altered the reporting and decision making of council. Deferring power to the CEO and disallowing public questioning of line managers regarding reports are absurd. Regardless of an individual’s political will, the council chamber is where partisan politics should be put aside to ensure decisions are made in the best interests of our community. As a community, we can only hope that some common sense is evident in the chamber over the next three years, after which much more diligence may be conducted at polling time. Geoffrey Dempster, Mornington Editor: In October, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Steve Holland unsuccessfully sought to be chosen by the Liberal Party to replace retiring Eastern Victoria MP Ed Donohue; former mayor Cr Despi O’Connor has taken leave of absence from council to stand as an independent for the seat of Flinders in next year’s federal election; and Cr Paul Mercurio is standing as the Labor candidate for the seat of Hastings in the November 2022 state election.
‘Spinning’ for votes Having put my pen in hibernation some time ago due to the totally dysfunctional council voted in at the last election, without doubt the worst in my lifetime, I need to reply to an article (“Politics peninsula-style” The News 14/12/21). Cr Despi O’Connor describes herself as a small l Liberal who saw former PM Malcolm Turnbull as being “very centre” of the political road and voted for him in 2019. Only one problem here, Turnbull left parliament on the 31 August 2018 and did not contest the last election, so can we assume she voted for his successor, Scott Morrison. And what other luminaries does Cr O’Connor admire and base her small l policies on? Dr Kerryn Phelps, who is further left than the Greens and Julia Banks, who’s Flinders campaign was backed by the far-left GetUp! group and, just to top it off, Cr O’Connor tried out for the “Voices “ endorsement, backed by the left leaning Holmes A’Court family in Perth. I have no problem with a bit of political spin, but this is a bit over the top. Michael G Free, Mount Martha
Permit criteria To those people wrongly blaming Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for not issuing a disability parking permit to a one armed man, I want to make it absolutely clear that no council in Victoria issues such permits (“Shire team rejects amputee’s plea for parking permit” Letters 30/11/21 and “Disgraceful decision” 7/12/21). Despite what seems to be some considerable confusion and “buck passing” over the

matter, they are in reality issued by VicRoads in accordance with directions published by the state government in the Government Gazette No S 606 24/11/20. The purpose of this scheme is to assist people with mobility problems in locating parking close to their destination. One must have a walking limitation in order to qualify for the Australian Disability Parking Permit, valid Australia wide. Of course, there are many other types of disabilities unrelated to walking, and hence ineligible. We all sympathise with disabled people, but that does not automatically entitle them to preferential parking. If the one armed man or his doctor had gone through the online application process, then both should be well aware he did not qualify. One can only wonder why he chose to harass the council. The government has no intention of extending the eligibility criteria to include additional disabilities. There are only a limited number of disabled parking spots available and it can be difficult to get one. Obviously access to them needs to be limited. I have the parking permit issued by VicRoads, so I know from personal experience what the criteria are and who the issuing agency is. Perhaps the council could have handled the matter better, but it has no ability to issue a permit. The council or its staff does not deserve to be bagged by people ignorant of the issues involved. Robert Sanderson, Skye
Rules need changing I am not in dispute with the rules within the accessibleparking.vic.gov.au/permits website, I’m suggesting that common sense prevails (“Correct decision” Letters 7/12/21). The people who issue these permits, I hope, will never experience a whole arm amputation. We need the wider space of a disabled car park to swing the car door wider to alight or enter the vehicle. God knows, it was flamin’ hard enough to manoeuvre a shopping trolley with two arms let alone one. The convenience of a closer disabled car park would be marvellous. I was told by the woman at Mornington Peninsula Shire that I could dispute the decision by filling out another application by going to a different doctor. Same form, same questions, same answers from me. Unless I change my answers, it will be the same result. Are they are asking me to lie to get the permit? How many lone, quite able people do we see get out of a car that is displaying a disabled label? I’m requesting that VicRoads and the shire review the rules pertaining to disabled parking and show a bit of common sense and compassion. Oh, and I am grateful I have two legs, but I also wouldn’t mind two arms, I’m getting fed up with swimming in circles. John Cain, McCrae
Beach obstacles You are possibly aware of what is happening near the Anthony’s Nose boat ramp? On the eastern side dredging pipes have been laid out on the beach, making it unusable for the campers or members of the public and the trailer parking has been taken over with machinery compounds. This has occurred 1.5 weeks prior to Christmas and the busiest time of the year for those wanting to use the beach or water. I am a resident and not a camper, but whoever is responsible is certainly not promoting Dromana as a tourist area. Bob Beck, Dromana
Art on the run Delighted to read in the latest edition of [Mornington Peninsula Shire’s newsletter]
22 December 2021
Peninsula Wide, about the $600.000 replacement toilet block at Safety Beach. It seems so thrifty, and money well spent for a dunny block that surely must feature golden urinals for the lads (no pun intended - well maybe a little) and diamond bowls for the ladies. Are these anticipated plumbing fixtures inspired perhaps by the Dada brilliance of Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968 )? A moment of whimsy from someone in the council budget expenditure department? If so, respect. I salute you, anonymous subversive art lover. David Martin, Mount Martha
Hunt’s ‘proud’ legacy Attacking the legacy of [retiring Flinders MP] Greg Hunt rests chiefly on two arguments: firstly, that the federal government ignored Pfizer’s offer of its vaccine until it was too late; and, secondly, Australia initially relied exclusively on an inferior vaccine - AstraZeneca (“Pfizer decision a ‘grim legacy’ for federal government” Letters 14/12/21). My recollection is far different. The federal government had firm orders in place with Pfizer very early on in the epidemic, in fact well before a number of European countries. But then the whole issue of vaccines became politicised for several reasons. There is nothing wrong with AstraZeneca, which was developed by a British organisation. But probably in revenge for Britain pulling out of the EU, the Europeans started rubbishing AstraZeneca in comparison with Pfizer, which has strong German links. And of course these negative but unjust comments influenced the thinking here in Australia, so that suddenly AstraZeneca was viewed less favourably. Also, around that time the European countries that had been tardy in ordering vaccines from Pfizer suddenly woke up and demanded that a product manufactured in Europe should not be allowed to be exported and that they should get it first. It was also argued that Australia had been impacted far less during the epidemic than many other countries and therefore did not need the vaccine as urgently as others. The result was that Pfizer redirected the vaccines which by rights should have come to us. I think Greg Hunt’s legacy is one he can rightly be proud of. Geoff Chatfield, Frankston South
‘Tireless’ Hunt I would like to correct numerous errors in your letter pages regarding Health Minister [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt. From a position of absolutely no knowledge, these people have accused him of lack of care, intelligence and questionable work ethics. For 20 years this man has worked tirelessly in the interests of this country and the Mornington Peninsula, with an average of 180 nights a year away from his wife and children. He has done an enormous amount of work for his constituents while helping steer Australia through the COVID-19 pandemic to an amazingly successful health outcome. The team of [Prime Minister Scott] Morrison, [Treasurer Josh] Frydenberg and Hunt is top class and has made us the envy of the world. The main impediment during this COVID crisis has been the stupidity and/or incompetence of the state Labor premiers. The issue with the Jetty Road overpass has been the Andrews government’s refusal to match the federal funding achieved by Greg Hunt three years ago and noting that all roads on the peninsula belong to the state or shire. Perhaps these frequent contributors would benefit from some research and fact checking. Kay Grey, Rye
Praise for candidate How refreshing to read about Zoe McKenzie’s efforts to highlight the plight of our soft shell crabs (“Common goal” The News 14/12/21). Zoe has many strings to her bow and will make a wonderful federal MP for Flinders should she win the [Liberal Party’s] nomination and the election. We would indeed be fortunate to be represented in Canberra by such a fine person who has credentials in law, economics and trade, to quote just a few, but who is also an absolutely lovely, thoughtful young woman. Anthea Mollison, Rye
Experience that counts Research would have uncovered that Zoe McKenzie [who is seeking Liberal Party preselection for the federal seat of Flinders] is much more than a “staffer”. She practised as an industrial relations and employment lawyer and set up her own business in trade. She has also been a non-executive director in many capacities, including NBN Co (“‘Staffer’ disappoints” Letters 14/12/21). Locally, she is deeply and personally committed, serving on the board of the Committee for Mornington Peninsula and working with the Spider Crabs Alliance to save our marine wildlife, and Mornington Peninsula Foundation to address disadvantage. That’s what I call “real world experience” as opposed to Labor’s selection process which usually takes freshly graduated university students and places them in union and political offices before promoting them to candidacy. How’s that for disappointing? Jackie Hammill, Mornington
No sense to quarry It is indisputable that quarries are necessary part of our society, building materials must come from somewhere (“‘People-power’ ends quarry bid” The News 14/7/21). However, a quarry expansion on the edge of significant Victorian tourist attraction, Arthurs Seat, made little sense and the work by the Save Arthurs seat group and others should be applauded. One can only guess as to what possessed the Ross Trust and Hillview Quarries to ever think this quarry expansion was ever a good idea. Dr Ross Hudson, Mount Martha Uncertainty remains How good was the Ross Trust and Hillview Quarries statement of 10 December announcing that it “will no longer seek to re-establish a fully operational quarry” at the Boundary Road, Dromana site? This press release produced such elation and hope for so many community members. But can we really “trust the trust”? The continuation of the environmental effects statement (EES) is one worrying aspect of the announcement. Although mooted to be “for rehabilitation”, the progression of this flawed process makes me very uneasy. Could it be that, like the tip battle before it, the quarry battle has been won but the war is far from over? Only time will tell. Wilga Kottek, Main Ridge
Use nature strips Nature strips on the Mornington Peninsula comprise quite a lot of underutilised land. One person in our community made two very productive vegetable plots bordering his fence line. This provided produce for his neighbours, and a convivial meeting place. All in all, a most positive outcome. However, one person complained to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and this gentleman was facing a hefty fine if his gardens were not removed. Council then sent someone with a rotary hoe to remove the two gardens, causing the gentleman to go into a severe depression. There has been much talk in the media of trying to avoid depression in these stressful COVID times, and this seems to have been a very negative outcome to what started as a positive action. Better use can, and should, be made of our nature strips. Georgie Gibbs, Balnarring
Australia Day views Having a common, united approach to 26 January celebrations sounds okay until one realises that it is in fact a call to silence any alternative views about the day. Hardly democratic or Australian (“Let us stand united” Letters 14/12/21). What if I took your home, land and livelihood, then celebrated every year on a date that reminded you of this gross injustice and, to really rub salt into the wounds, insisted you forgot the past, cheered up and joined the party? Readers should not be fooled by “let’s all be friends”, “don’t be divisive” propaganda that seeks to silence alternative views. The democratic right to have a say is intrinsic to the Australian ethos. A right that we all have, especially the original people on the Australian continent – Aboriginal and Torres Islander people. Maureen Donelly, Mornington
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
The Mornington Express - An Inferno on Wheels Compiled by Cameron McCullough THOUGH called the Mornington Express, it does not mean, of course, that this aristocrat of the seaside track (says a writer in an exchange) makes an absolutely uninterrupted run to that salubrious terminal, for passengers residing as far as Mordialloc are at liberty to travel thereby while in the slacker season, residents of even Mentone and Cheltenham are privileged to book passages. Its daily routine is to arrive at Flinders street at about 9.30am, which it does with creditable regularity, and leaving on the home journey with becoming fuss and dignity at 5.9pm. In the interim, however, it is out of service and rests out in the open with all apertures carefully closed up. This is immaterial when conditions are normal, but when, as often happens at this time of the year, the vehicles are subjected all day to the penetrating rays of a 90.8 sun, and they are then backed into the platform 10 minutes prior to starting time, the consequent violent evaporative process at once becomes operative and those who are forced to enter this inferno on wheels are soon viewing each other as through a heavy curtain of scalding tears of distress with looks indicating how effectively they could give expression to their feelings were it not for the presence of ladies. If our respected Mr Clapp would obviate these torture chamber conditions by finding ways and means of cleaning carriages and directing that duty to be done, his kindness will
never be forgotten by an important section of your subscribers, that is, they who travel by the Mornington Express. *** RAY Baxter, who won the all round trophy for his college, leaves this week for Sydney with the Scotch College cricket team. *** TOMORROW, Frankston cricketers journey to Cheltenham. Players are requested to travel by the 1.40 train. The team comprises: Box, Baxter, Earl, Kemp, Deane, Watkins, Burton, Kennedy, H. McComb, and McCulloch. On the local ground the following team will engage the Carrum club at 2.30 tomorrow: Lawrey, McComb (3), Hanton, Jolly, Luff, Holt, Petrie, N. Baxter, Aitken; emergencies – Oates, Hanton Jnr. *** ADVERTISERS and others are reminded that, following the usual custom of the provincial Press, there will be no issue of the “Standard” between Xmas Day and the New Year. Full advantage should be taken of next week’s special issue of the “Standard,” which will include an attractively printed calendar. Advance orders should be lodged with news agents to save disappointment. *** MEMBERS of the Frankston Fire Brigade turned up in strong numbers at the fire station one night last week, when presentation badges were given to ex Capt. J. Wells, and ex-Foreman F. Addicott.
The badges were awarded for long service, and are only available to men whose membership extends over twelve years. Capt. D. Petrie did the honors, and delivered a neat speech appropriate to the occasion. The brigade is rapidly getting on its feet again, and the right men are at the head of affairs to keep up the present enthusiasm. The members ran a very successful euchre party the other night, when the prize winners were – Ladies: Miss Cook; Gents, Mr Eric Bell. *** THE Frankston show committee meet next Monday night. The prize schedules are now printed and may be obtained from the secretary, Mr W. M. Hanton. *** SOMERVILLE In connection with the St. Andrew’s Sunday School prize distribution on Monday evening next, it has been decided to say farewell to Rev J. E. Watts, M.A., who is leaving for another parish at the end of the month. The monthly meeting of the Fruitgrowers’ Association was held on Monday evening last. In the absence of the president, the vice-president (Mr C. W. Grant) occupied the chair. There were a fair number of members present. A letter was read from the president (Mr G. R. Warren), stating that owing to uncertain health he felt compelled to resign his position. He was reluctant to take this step, but in the interests of the association
he thought it wise to do so. The resignation was accepted with regret, and a letter of thanks ordered to be sent to Mr Warren for his past services. There was some difficulty in filling the vacancy thus created. Eventually, Mr John Twyford was unanimously elected. *** AT the Frankston Police Court on Monday last the licensee of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Winifred Hallenan, was charged alternatively with having trafficked in the sale of liquor to other than bona fide travellers on Sunday, October 30th, and with having allowed certain persons, other than bona fide travellers on the premises on the same date contrary to the Act. Inspector McCormack prosecuted. Miss Hallenan, for whom Mr. Luke Murphy appeared, pleaded not guilty. Constable Nelson, of the Melbourne police, deposed that on Sunday, October 30th, at 8.45pm, in company with Constable Maloney, he observed two men enter the Prince of Wales Hotel. He entered the hotel and found the licensee serving the men with glasses of beer. He asked Miss Hallenan were they bona fide travellers, and she replied. “I don’t know.” She declared she did not know where the men lived. After a while she said to the men, “You said you were bona fide travellers, didn’t you?” but they did not reply, although she asked three times. Constable Mahoney, of the Frankston police, supported the
statements made by Constable Nelson, and declared that he did not know either of the men found on the premises. Mr. Murphy, for the defence, said there was no denying that the liquor was sold, but Miss Hallenan was of the belief that she was not guilty of the offence, because the men claimed to be bona fide travellers. Frankston, as a pleasure resort, was outside the 20 mile radius, and there was always a large number of visitors from the city on Sundays. The men told her that they came from Footscray and Williamstown, and had slept there on the Saturday night. Miss Hallenan denied that Constable Nelson ever asked her the questions he made use of in his evidence. The owner of the hotel property, Mr. McKinnon, and an employee, were present when the police entered. She did not know either Lynch or Rush, the men concerned. Archibald McKinnon, owner of the Prince of Wales Hotel, declared that the evidence of the constables was absolutely untrue, and alleged that Rush and Lynch had admitted to Nelson that they had told Miss Hallenan they were bona fide travellers. After a verbal duel with Mr. Murphy, the magistrate said the charge was a serious one, affecting as it did the licensee’s license, and she would be convicted on the first charge only, the second case being dismissed. Fined £2, with 4/6 costs. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 16 December 1921

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Ghost of Christmas Past Has A Dirty Big Mullet By Stuart McCullough IT was my sister who called first. Actually, it wasn’t so much as a call as it was a text with emojis to emphasize the emotional gravity of the moment. Old-school telephone calls, it seems, are now reserved only for those rare circumstances where an emoji is somehow not fit for purpose. The general gist of the message was this: my sister had been minding her own business with the television on the background when she had seen my brother and I on screen. It happens every Christmas. We were just kids. This fact is reinforced by the fact we’re both wearing school uniforms. We were part of a school choir that, for reasons that will forever remain a mystery, was asked to sing on a cover version of the John Lennon and Yoko Ono holiday classic, ‘Merry Xmas (War is Over)’. The original was released in 1972 and was an impassioned plea for peace, subsequently becoming a bona fide Christmas standard. The cover version was recorded in 1985 and performed with such soul-quivering intensity that it surpassed the original. Except that instead of being an appeal for peace and end of conflict and bloodshed, this was an impassioned plea on behalf of fairy penguins. Britain had its ‘Bandaid’, America its ‘USA for Africa’. Australia had ‘The Incredible Penguins’. This was a ‘supergroup’, in much the same that way that any one of us can be a superhero if we manage to reverse park in one go or remember that it’s bin night before your spouse does. Brian from Pseudo Echo, Scott from Kids in the Kitchen, Colin from Men at Work, the bloke from Geisha who went on to sing the theme song for ‘The Footy Show’ (and, with any luck, gets a residual); to say nothing of Brian Mannix of the Uncanny X-men. (Trust me, it’s better that way.) They even roped in Angry Anderson and a pre-return to fame John Farnham. 1985 was an interesting time in music history. If I were to sum it up in a word, that word would

Southern Peninsula News
be ‘mullet’. In what must have seemed an affront to barbers everywhere, luxurious locks cascaded well beyond the shoulders. The bigger the mullet, the better. At that time it was common for men and women in rock to have the exact same haircut. I cannot overemphasize the enormity of the impression it made on me. On the day of recording, there were more mullets in that room than the Murray / Darling basin. The most special of all the special guests to sing that day was undoubtedly Bob Geldolf. This was the very same Bob Geldolf who, at that point, was eligible for sainthood, having raising
22 December 2021
millions of dollars for the starving in Ethiopia through the ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ single and the gigantic global event that was ‘Live Aid’. Why wouldn’t he want to use his particular brand of magic to come to the aid of fairy penguins? In the film clip, Bob is clearly disoriented; something I attribute to either jetlag or the last remnants of the chloroform that must have been necessary to abduct him and drag him to the studio. With the obvious exception of Angry Anderson, those in our choir were the only mullet-free people within a two-kilometre radius. Our job
was to stand in formation and look suitably angelic. The single was being produced by Molly Meldrum who – I was later to learn – had a reputation as being a genius behind the mixing board. Molly produced ‘The Real Thing’ by Russell Morris; a song so extraordinary that it sounds like the apocalypse. I just knew him as the bloke from Countdown. All I remember of Molly is that he was not very tall and oozed cigarette smoke. All those assembled poured everything into making the best version of ‘Happy Xmas (War is Over)’ they possibly could. When the single was released, I watched the film clip with breathless anticipation. I saw myself for a couple of seconds. My brother too. The film clip showed all the various celebrities before cutting to footage of tanks, explosions and general mayhem. I struggled to understand what fairy penguins had to do with either war or, for that matter, Christmas. Whether they were the victim of some kind of sea otter insurgency or in conflict with Sponge Bob Squarepants was not explained to us. It was difficult to reconcile the images of destruction with a small aquatic, flightless bird. It was disturbing and unpleasant. And just like that, the song peaked in the charts before plummeting faster than a concrete parachute into oblivion. That, so I thought, was that. Nothing disappears anymore. Not even bad ideas. They live on the Internet to be found by friends, foes and future employers alike. ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’ is on YouTube and played annually on Rage the Saturday before Christmas. Each year I see my schoolboy self, singing his heart out. Within two years, I had my own band and a mullet of my own. As for the fairy penguins, they now live in peace. Thank goodness. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pines and Balnarring all level, Baxter wins a tight one By Brodie Cowburn
MPCA WOMENS
AFTER a thrilling battle at Eric Bell Reserve on Sunday, nothing could separate Pines and Balnarring. The two sides have both been impressive in the MPCA Women’s league so far. A win for either would have put them in the mix for the top of the table spot. Balnarring were sent in to bat first and put a good score on the board. Opener Abby Trezise top scored with 27, with her side going on to make 139 before their 20 overs were up. Pines were impressive with the bat, but their run rate was what cost them in the end. Despite a knock of 47 from Jaide Anthony and another good innings from Samantha Ryan (37), Pines could only do enough to snatch a tie. Both sides finished all square with 139 runs. Things were a little less competitive at Lloyd Park on Sunday. Langwarrin secured top of the table with a good win over Rye. Rye batted first but could only set their opponents a target of 71 to win. Rye opener Stella Appleford did her best, scoring 40 runs. Langwarrin made quick work of their target. They wrapped up the win with seven overs left to play and six wickets to spare. Tootgarook had a bye.
PROVINCIAL
A STELLAR innings of 91 not out from Matt Prosser was the highlight of Langwarrin’s win over Old Peninsula on Saturday. Old Peninsula set their opponents a target of 147 to chase down to win. Their top scorer was Justin Grant, who scored a half century (51). Langwarrin lost opener Chris Brittain early on but never looked back from there. Prosser’s awesome innings, complete with four boundaries, got his
DISTRICT

MAIN Ridge and Carrum did battle in a nail-biter last weekend. Main Ridge chose to bat first on their home deck. Their innings went well, with most batters making contributions to the score. After 40 overs Main Ridge ended their innings at 9/170. Carrum had a tough task ahead of them to get the win. Carrum lost both openers early, but a strong showing from the middle order got them back on track. Ryan Dyer was their best performer with the bat with a score of 40. After Ryan’s wicket fell, Carrum still had 50 runs to score with four wickets in hand. They worked hard, but time was against them. Carrum ended up just a couple of runs short of victory. They finished their innings at 8/169. Delacombe Park defeated Carrum Downs on Saturday, while Dromana bested Crib Point. Hastings had a great day, smashing Frankston YCW by nearly 100 runs.
SUB DISTRICT side over the line. Langy won by nine wickets. It was a little less easy for Baxter on Saturday, as they scraped over the line in a low scoring clash with Red Hill. Red Hill chose to bat first but struggled. They were bowled out for just 96. William Borthwick did damage with the ball, sending Red Hill’s openers and number three to the sheds and posting final figures of 3/8. Baxter’s run chase got off to a nightmare start with both openers gone for ducks. They continued to lose wickets, and at 7/58 looked in real danger at let-
ting the game slip from their fingers. A good late showing from the tail got Baxter over the line, They ended up winning by just two wickets. In other Provincial action last weekend a half century from Nick Jewell helped Long Island defeat Mt Eliza, and Baden Powell defeated Sorrento by six wickets.
PENINSULA
A BRILLIANT unbeaten knock from Damien Lawrence was the difference between Pines and Mornington at Eric Bell Reserve last weekend.
Lawrence opened the batting and was superb. He scored 91 runs, and batted the whole way through the innings. Pines set Mornington a target of 197 to win. A few Mornington batters made starts but none could turn them into big scores. At the end of Mornington’s 40 overs they remained 82 runs short of victory. Seaford Tigers, Heatherhill, and Somerville rounded out the winner’s list in the Peninsula division last weekend. They defeated Moorooduc, Flinders, and Rosebud respectively.
TOOTGAROOK took home the win in a thriller over Mt Martha on Saturday. Chasing down 108 to win, Tootgarook faced some resistance from the Mt Martha bowlers. A strong opening stand between Travis French and Steven Nelson proved crucial in the end. Despite a middle order collapse, Tootgarook managed to drag themselves over the line. They hit the winning runs with just one wicket left to spare. A paltry total of 41 doomed Boneo to defeat against Rye. In other Sub District matchups Tyabb smashed Seaford by 100 runs, Pearcedale defeated Balnarring, and Skye defeated Ballam Park.
Brown comes back with a bang HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou ETHAN Brown certainly made his presence felt on his first day back race riding. The Mornington-based jockey notched up a winning treble at Moe on Friday 17 December as well as running two second placings from his six rides on the card. Brown was returning from a dual suspension where he was sidelined for three months for attending an Airbnb in Mornington during restrictions and a further eight-weeks – five weeks of which was suspended for two years – for giving false and/or misleading evidence about who attended the gathering. The 22-year-old was still putting in the hard yards during this time frequently riding trackwork at Mornington and competing in jumpouts. That work paid dividends on his first day back as he steered the Jason Warren and Dean Krongold-trained Little Pickle to victory at his third ride back. Mornington-based co-trainer Dean Krongold was thrilled to repay Brown
with his first winner back. “It was great for him to get a winner on his first day back and it was very satisfying that we could provide him with that winner after the times he helped us out,” Krongold said. “When he wasn’t raceriding, he jumped on plenty of our horses and gave us very good feedback about the progression of horses going forward. “He’s a very hardworking young man and wherever we needed him he was there – Pakenham, Mornington, Balnarring jumpouts, you name it. He rode a fair few for us on Tuesday mornings too which was invaluable.” After saluting aboard Little Pickle, Brown landed another winner aboard Cliff Brown’s Yaphet in the fifth race. Coming back in grade from the Group 2 Sandown Guineas, Brown got the most out of the gelding to finally break his maiden status at start number seven. Brown topped off the day narrowly winning aboard Ciaron Maher and David Eustace’s Weave That Web in the sixth race. Despite the 63.5kgs topweight, the pair struck the lead in the straight and clung on to win by half-of-a-head.

Bryan Jeffrey from MOAT Mental Health Services conducted the course at Baxter Park that involved 16 participants drawn from the soccer club’s administration, coaching and playing ranks. “I spoke to MHFA and they confirmed that no other club in the world has this accreditation,” Jeffrey said. “It entails two days of training but we split the training up into evening chunks to make it easier for the club to organise participants.” The course draws parallels between general first aid and mental health first aid and prompts participants to establish an action plan. “If someone is having a panic attack, has depression, suicidal thinking or a psychotic episode what would you do about it as a first aider? “The course goes through aspects of mental health illnesses – what are the causes, what are the symptoms like and what are the treatment options? “Just as general first aid has an action plan mental health first aid has an action plan. “We take participants through that action plan and alert them to the main mental health diagnoses and teach them to look out for each other.” Baxter president Bray Hodgkinson was thrilled with his club’s achievement and hoped that it would raise awareness of mental health issues among other clubs. “An achievement like this for our small community club is incredible and I want to thank the participants and Bryan from MOAT who made this possible,” he said. “We’re immensely proud to be the first sports’ club in the world to be accredited and hope to be an inspiration for other sports clubs to do the same. “Mental health is such an important issue and we hope we can raise awareness within our local sports clubs to better support our players and members.” Clubs wanting to learn more about the MHFA course should go to www. moat.com.au where Jeffrey’s contact details are available.

back, central defence and in midfield. Batey’s football journey started when he was just five years old and joined the junior program at English Premier League club Newcastle United. Two years later the family moved to Melbourne and he spent almost six years at Brighton before joining Bentleigh Greens as a 13-year-old. He had a stint at Oakleigh Cannons then switched to Beaumaris making his senior debut as a teenager under head coach Marcus Stergiopoulos. Batey was first alerted to Pines’ interest through close friend Marinos

Carlo Melino’s men will face Casey Panthers at Prospect Hill Reserve on Saturday 29 January (1pm and 3pm), Pakenham United at IYU Recreation Reserve on Saturday 5 February (1pm and 3pm), Peninsula Strikers at Centenary Park on Saturday 26 February (1pm and 3pm) and Aspendale Stingrays at Edithvale Recreation Reserve on Thursday 10 March (6.30pm and 8.30pm).

bourne West, won the race for the spot in State 5 South that Rosebud Heart thought it had. Barton runs senior men’s and women’s and junior programs and plays at Barton Recreation Reserve, a $7 million sporting precinct opened in 2019. Scanning the club names throughout next year’s leagues makes it clear that FV has well and truly consigned the one-time policy of banning foreign names to the dustbin of history. That policy was implemented and enforced by the old Sir Arthur George-led Australian Soccer Federation and would never have allowed Manningham Juventus or Monash City Villareal to compete under such names. Meanwhile FV also released its player registration and team entry fees for next year. Individual player fees for MiniRoos (age 11 and under) are $70, community juniors (under 12 to 18) $110, NPL juniors (under 14 to 18) $200, community senior men $233, community senior women $201 and over 35s (men and women) $135. Player registration and team entry fees for senior NPL clubs are combined. Langwarrin is up for $18,200 for its senior NPL2 teams next season. There’s a sliding scale of team fees for State League clubs and the following entry fees are combined totals for seniors and reserves: For State 1 (Mornington) the fee is $8430, State 2 (Peninsula Strikers and Skye United) $6920, State 3 (Frankston Pines) $5840, State 4 (Baxter, Seaford United, Chelsea and Somerville) $3780 and State 5 (Rosebud, Aspendale and Mount Martha) $3350. FV has also set a 20 January deadline for clubs to supply fixturing information for next year. Clubs must contact the federation by this date with information on preferred day of play, home fixture kickoff times and primary home venue. For years now there’s been a fixture logjam on the peninsula with local clubs playing home games on the same day and at the same time. Although playing home games on Saturday afternoons has long been the fixture preference of the majority of local clubs it’s hoped that FV’s fixturing may finally be tweaked to alleviate the congestion.

All proceeds go to the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club
The Sorrento Bay Swim will be returning in 2022, held virtually for the duration of the month of January. The Swim is in its 18th year, and after having to cancel the event in 2021 due to the pandemic, the Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club is very keen to bring this event to the community again. At the time of making the decision to proceed, the environment was not quite ready for a live event, so the decision was made to go virtual! This means entrants will complete their 600m, 2,000m, or 4,000m swim in their own time, during January 2022, and they can complete their swim in the open water or in a pool, at a location of their choice. It’s a great opportunity for families to complete the swim together, and for learner swimmers and swimmers with mobility issues to participate. Having the whole month of January to complete the swim allows entrants to choose a day and time that suits them, and for those unable to complete the full distance in one swim, it can be completed over several days. The Club provides a valuable community service with a well-patrolled beach environment for locals and visitors to Sorrento back beach. This event assists the Club with its endeavours to keep our beaches safe and provide the youth of the area with a Surf Awareness program to learn surf safety through their excellent Nippers program. The Swim also assists to fund raise for important safety equipment such as rescue boards and inflatable rescue boats. The entry fees have been lowered this year, since the event is being held virtually, and because the Club appreciates how tough this year has been for everyone. So entrants are being invited to help the Club raise funds through setting up a fundraising page when they register and inviting friends and family to sponsor their swim. Entrants can register online now at sorrentobayswim2022.raisely.com and will receive a T-Shirt and Certificate of Participation after completing their swim and there will be prizes given away throughout the event. They can connect their Strava activity tracking to their fundraising page, otherwise it can be entered manually. Local artist Justine McNamara has designed another incredible graphic for this year’s Swim, which will be featured on the front of the entrant’s T-Shirts. The Club always look forward to seeing what creative ideas Justine comes up with, and this year she has really captured the ‘virtual’ element of the event. Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club President Jane Wright said ‘We’re really excited to be able to bring back our swim to the community, albeit in a different, but what we hope is an exciting, new format. The virtual swim allows even more people to participate, as entrants can complete the swim in their own time and at their own pace. We’re hoping that the community gets on board and that we can make this part of our ongoing public offering. Our club thrives on helping our community and it’s great to see the support our community gives back to our club.’ The Swim is kindly sponsored by Your Community Bank Rye|Dromana|Rosebud, Bay Print & Design, Fletchers Mornington Peninsula, Functioning Together, and Mornington Peninsula News Group. The support provided by the event sponsors and all the local businesses who provide T-Shirt sponsorship, ensures the Swim can be held each year, and the Club is extremely grateful for their support, especially those who have supported the event since its inception. Any enquiries can be directed to the Event Manager, Paula Creek event@sorrentoslsc.com.

Searoad Ferries prepares for a bumper summer MORE ferries, a new bus shuttle service and roving artists, musicians and performers are all part of Searoad Ferries summer offering. The Queenscliff Sorrento ferry service is preparing for a bumper summer as passenger and vehicle numbers are expected to be strong as Victorians get out and about, catch up with family and friends and holiday around the state. A new bus shuttle service, Searoad Shuttle, will operate over summer connecting the ferry terminals to the townships of Sorrento, Pt Nepean, and Portsea on the Mornington Peninsula, and Queenscliff and Pt Lonsdale on the Bellarine. The service will connect with most ferry departures allowing foot passengers to travel further afield. The shuttle is not restricted to ferry passengers and locals and visitors can jump on at any stop. The fare is $4
each time you travel on the shuttle and payment is by card only. You don’t need to book, but seating is limited so it’s first come, first served. Comfortable, air-conditioned coaches will operate through the peak of summer from December 29, 2021, to January 30, 2022. Searoad Ferries is planning to make a big, bumper summer even better. ‘Summer of Ferry Fun’ is a series of activities and roving entertainers onboard and around the ferries. Live music, street performers, magicians, pirates, puppetry and more will make the sail across the bay just a whole lot more fun. Activities will be most days in January with something for everyone, young and old. Three ferries will operate over the peak of summer commencing December 25. The added services will relieve the peak travel times and ensure
passengers and vehicles can get where they are going. Searoad Ferries is ideally placed as both an experience and a short cut across the bay, where passengers can relax and get off the road on their way to their destination. Searoad Ferries is the car & passenger ferry, sailing between Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula and Queenscliff on the Bellarine, every hour 7am – 6pm, every day, (extra 7pm service December 26 – 31 January).

Charles Davidson is the winner of the 2021 Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism’s Legend’s Award AS a leading pioneer in geothermal bathing in Australia and prominent influence in the tourism industry, Charles Davidson is the recipient of this year’s Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Legend’s Award. This Award has been introduced to not only recognise the commitment an individual has to the tourism organisation they work in or for, but additionally acknowledge their contribution to and leadership in the tourism industry as a whole. As Founder, Chairman and Creative Director of Peninsula Hot Springs, one of the region’s most popular year-round attractions, Charles has led an extensive and admirable career. While on an Asia Pacific fellowship in 1992 in Japan, Charles was inspired to bring the immersive experience of hot springs bathing and decided to bring the experience to his hometown of the Mornington Peninsula. After eight years of hard work with his brother Richard to make this dream a reality, Peninsula Hot Springs was finally opened to customers in 2005. Today, this iconic destination has become one of the most successful wellness experiences on both national and global scales, continuing to attract over
500,000 visitors every year. In 2010, the business was crowned with its first Victorian Tourism Award and has been inducted into the Victorian Tourism Awards Hall of Fame in Health and Wellbeing, Tourist Attraction and Ecotourism categories since. For the last eight years, Peninsula Hot Springs has been awarded Global Winner and Oceania Winner at the World Luxury Spa Awards, taking home accolades concurrently from 2020-2021. As a place of relaxation and reconnection, Peninsula Hot Springs continues to showcase the natural beauty of the region, bringing people together in a coastal oasis. Alongside his dedication to the local region, Charles has made a profound impact across the spa and wellbeing industry, including as current Chairman of the Global Wellness Institute - Hot Springs Initiative, and most recently establishing the Australasian Hot and Mineral Springs Bathing Alliance in recognition of the emerging new businesses. Previously, he has worked as Chairman of the Victorian Tourism Industry Council, Director of the Australasian Spa and Wellness Association (ASWell) and Director of Mornington
Peninsula Tourism for nearly six years. Passion and resilience have been two major pillars of Charles’ entrepreneurial success over the years, making him a well-deserving recipient of this year’s Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism’s Legend’s Award. “It is with great humility that I received the honour of joining the ranks of the Mornington Peninsula Tourism Legends. In these pandemic times, everyone in our industry sector has had to stand up and work doubly hard to survive, revive and seek to thrive once again. Now more than ever it is how we choose to engage and interact with our community that is paramount to building the kind of society we want to live in,” said Mr Davidson. “It’s a really well-deserved honour. Since the late 1990’s, Charles has identified an opportunity to broaden tourism on the Mornington Peninsula and he has done so with tremendous success. His passion and commitment to have the Mornington Peninsula recognised as a leading wellness destination is absolutely outstanding,” said Chairman of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board, Roger Lancia.
BABBA heading to town “DARE I say it! As good as ABBA” - Molly Meldrum. What a way to start an editorial on one of the longest running Tribute shows here in Australia. From BABBA’s very beginning’s back on the 2nd of December 1994 there was something very special about this talented group of vocalists and musicians.

One of the biggest highlights for BABBA was their performance at the Hong Kong Jockey Clubs – Swedish Night at the end of 2019 right before covid-19 hit the world. As a part of the festivities Benny Andersson from ABBA was also in attendance as a guest of the Swedish consulate in Hong Kong. After he concluded his duties, Benny came to the Jockey Club where BABBA were performing “Winner Takes it All” at the time. At the conclusion of the song Benny took the stage with the BABBA members and spent time chatting with each person and then stayed to have photos taken with them. Benny was very complimentary of what BABBA were doing and the band were blown away! You can catch them live in Mornington during the holidays in Jan at Merchant Lane.
