Sparrow makes flying visit to school

Picture: Yanni

APTAIN Jack Sparrow paid a surprise visit to Eastbourne Primary School on Thursday morning, or so students thought when the one-eyed seafarer joined the staged fire drill in the main hall.

LA Doorz frontman and Johnny Depp impersonator Joe Ansalvish leapt on stage with his side kick played by Kris Mcghee, and looked every bit the part, right down to the costume, voice, mannerisms and distinctive pirate eyes.

Ansalvish is appearing at the Pirates Picnic on Sunday 5 March at The Backyard, 156 Weeroona St, Rye, to raise money for Oxfam.

As a celebration of The Doors, Ansalvish and his band kicked off the Poet & The Rebel Tour at Rye RSL on 17 February and will be performing around Melbourne, backed by Andy Phillips & The Cadillac Walk (AU).

Together they combine their musical passion for the music of the 1960s to celebrate the life of rebel and poet, Jim Morrison of The Doors.

Hotel’s VCAT victory Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CONTINENTAL Hotel proprietor Julian Gerner is upbeat after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal agreed to change conditions imposed

by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council on apartments he wants added to the 1875 landmark.

The VCAT decision last week prevented council from reducing the overall height of the seven-level apartment building behind the heritage registered limestone building, on Ocean Beach Rd, and charging Mr Gerner for adjacent street works.

Ph: 5988 5589 or 0419 301 928 www.beachretreatsvic.com.au

VCAT presiding member Michael Nelthorpe said the tribunal did not believe the building’s height needed to be reduced to ensure an acceptable planning outcome or that Mr Gerner should pay $125,000 towards a pedestrian crossing.

The reported $22 million project will add 16 residential apartments at the rear of the hotel facing Constitution Hill Rd; a wellness centre and café; yoga deck; lap pool; new public bar; restaurant; function rooms; and 24 renovated hotel rooms in the main building.

Controversy raged over the council’s handling of the planning application last July, including the sale of public

land for a carpark for $1.8 million.

Nepean Conservation Group president Ursula de Jong described the VCAT ruling as a “disappointing result for the whole township of Sorrento”.

“This really is the death-knell for this historic coastal town,” she said.

“It’s not the fault of VCAT; the blame lies with the shire as they granted the permit for development.”

Mr Gerner, who bought the hotel for what is believed to be around $15 million in July last year, also runs restaurants and a wine store opposite the Sorrento foreshore.

He said he would “absolutely see through” the planned development now that approvals have been received.

“We took the case to VCAT and are pleased they found in our favour,” he said. “I’ll have to start raising the money now but, mostly, my part is done for a while.

“The finance side is far too technical for me and will be done by others.

Works will start when [the project] is fully funded.”

Dr de Jong said the shire had been “unsatisfactory” in explaining its case to the tribunal.

“The 37.05 metre height limit [of the apartments] was actually critical – as this meant that they would sit below the roof ridge of the Conti,” she said.

“In the end, it was all over one metre in height. VCAT thought that was in-

significant. The council tried to defend its permit condition of limiting the height to 37.05 metres. Its legal team did as well as they could but had nothing to go on.”

Dr de Jong said the conservation group tried to establish the “critical nature of the hotel as a landmark with reference to the whole area – not just the corner of Constitution Hill and Ocean Beach roads”.

“I argued that Sorrento was a village and not the place for major development,” she said.

“The town faces major planning issues: As some say, we are fast becoming a Chadstone by the sea.”

Southern Peninsula News 28 February 2017

NEWS DESK MORNINGTON Peninsula District scouts and cubs were well prepared for their annual regatta at Sorrento. Despite inclement weather which prevented the sail boats going in the water, cubs and scouts from all over the peninsula had a great day with canoe and kayak races and beach activities.

The scout district comprises 12 scout groups from Mt Eliza to Sorrento, and has 750 uniform members and dozens of support personnel.

District commissioner Tina Bennett said scouting was open to girls and boys aged 6-26.

Ms Bennett said scouting encouraged team building, leadership, initiative and independence, while “at the same time having fun”.

Inquiries: Tina Bennett 0409 131 489.

The regatta is held each year as close as possible to 22 February, the birthday of the Scouts founder, Robert BadenPowell.

Prepared for day at the beach

Man, 43, charged over service station robberies Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON police pounced on Saturday morning when they spotted a man wanted over service station robberies in Mornington, Frankston, Moorabbin, Berwick and Frankston on Friday night and Saturday morning.

They also believe the same man may in previous weeks have robbed the United service station on Tyabb Rd, Mornington, and the 7-Eleven on McMahons Rd, Frankston.

Senior Constable Cameron Fields and Constable Anthony Box, on patrol in the Mornington divisional van, 9.50am, Saturday, spotted the man driving a Mazda hatch on Tanti Av after a registration alert from Frankston detectives.

“We put on the lights and siren as the man did a U-turn into the Beleura Private Hospital goods delivery bay and arrested him without a struggle,” Senior Constable Fields said.

It is alleged the Mornington man, 43, struck at the United service station in Mornington-Tyabb Rd, 10.15pm, Wednesday 15 February, wearing a hoodie and with his face covered. He was wearing a hi-vis vest and carrying a large knife. He allegedly shouted “Give me cash, give me cash” and used the knife to intimidate staff before running back to his car with $300.

The man allegedly used the same

tactics to rob the 7-Eleven outlet in McMahons Rd, Frankston, 2.05am, Thursday 16 February, and again 8.15pm, Friday 17 February, before making in off in his car which was parked in the nearby Homemakers Centre car park.

Also on Friday night the man allegedly struck at the Coles Express in High St, Berwick, 10.32pm, and made the same demands for cash, before making off with $200. Around midnight it is alleged he robbed a 7-Eleven service station in Point Nepean Rd, Dromana, making off with a small amount of cash.

At 4.40am on Saturday 18 February the attendant at the 7-Eleven in Mornington-Tyabb Rd refused to open the door when the man appeared outside and shouted the same demand for cash.

At 5.45am Saturday it is believed the man stole $200 from the Coles Express on South Rd, Moorabbin, and, at 8.45am, attempted to rob the BP Langwarrin service station, CranbourneFrankston Rd where the attendant locked himself in the backroom as the man tried unsuccessfully to open the till.

An alert tradie watching outside followed the man back to his car and attempted to block him in. The man twice rammed the tradie’s car before escaping, but this allowed the tradie time to get his registration number, leading to his arrest later that day and giving police his address.

The man then allegedly stole a small amount of cash from the BP service station on Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Carrum Downs, 9.15am, Saturday, after making the same demands and using the knife to intimidate staff.

After the man’s arrest, Detective Senior Constable Mitchell Hardisty, of Frankston CIU, said a search of his Mornington home found a quantity of stolen items.

The man was later charged with seven counts of armed robbery, two of attempted armed robbery and three traffic offences. He was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court at a date to be fixed.

Anyone who witnessed any of the robberies is urged to call Detective Hardisty at Frankston CIU on 9784 5555, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Murder charge A RAVENHALL woman, 42, has been charged with one count of murder after a woman’s body was found in bushland at Sorrento on Friday 13 January.

Acting Sergeant Melissa Seach, of police media, said the charges follow the suspicious disappearance of 45-year-old Joanne Martell, of no fixed address, who was reported missing in May.

Big haul: Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, wants to see up to 50 items returned to their owners. Picture: Gary Sissons

Search for owners MORNINGTON Peninsula detectives are appealing for help in reuniting swags of allegedly stolen booty with its rightful owners after a Hastings man was arrested last week.

Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock said the man, 36, was facing numerous charges over burglaries and break-ins at homes and building sites in Somers and surrounding areas over the past few months.

He was arrested on Thursday 16 February and remanded to appear at

Frankston Magistrates’ Court next month over the theft of up to 50 items.

A search of the man’s house found an array of tradie and household tools and equipment, including welders and drop saws, household items and electrical items, model boat and yachts, motor bikes, and antique collectibles, including an antique telescope.

Those wanting to claim items should call Detective Brock on 5978 1300.

CEO study tour deal ‘confidential’ Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au AN overseas trip at ratepayers’ expense could be on the horizon for Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie thanks to a study tour allowance sanctioned by councillors.

Councillors during the previous council term agreed Mr Cowie could spend up to $30,000 to travel overseas or within Australia for a study tour linked to council business.

The allowance was approved as part of the CEO’s performance review last year — when Mr Cowie’s annual pay including superannuation was also increased to about $395,000 — before eight of the 11 councillors left council.

Councillors at the time decided the arrangement should be kept confidential.

Seven decided not to seek re-election to council and former councillor David Garnock lost out to Cr Kate Roper in Cerberus ward.

Crs Bev Colomb, Antonella Celi and Hugh Fraser were re-elected.

It was agreed last year that the CEO would bring his study tour plans to councillors for sign off during the current council term.

Cr David Gill, who last month said he had been denied access to Mr Cowie’s employment contract, was unaware of any study tour agreement when contacted by The News.

He believed newly-elected councillors had not been briefed about the CEO’s contract.

“There probably are a lot of things we haven't been told,” Cr Gill said.

Shire communications manager Mark Kestigian has refused to confirm details of any additional allowances for the CEO.

He referred The News to council’s publicly available annual report that stated an income range of $310,000-$319,999 for council’s highest-paid employee, excluding retirement benefits, for the 12 months to June 2016 (“Shire quiet on top pays”, The News 20/2/17).

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said newly-elected councillors would be told about the study tour allowance “very soon”.

“It’s in the pipeline right now,” she said.

"There's been nothing put forward to this council by the CEO to enact that. That was the ceiling limit. We weren't suggesting a $30,000 study tour whatsoever.”

Cr Colomb said councillors had been busy going through an induction process, discussing council’s plan for the new four-year council term and were also focused on budget plans.

"This is another process that sits in parallel with that.”

The mayor described the study tour allowance as “an offer that may or may not be taken up by the CEO”.

"There's always been opportunities within council for council staff to be supported in professional development so it was seen as a good opportunity for professional development and it was also an acknowledgement of the work that the CEO has done.”

The shire is negotiating a new enterprise agreement with council staff, including a offer of a 6.8 per cent pay rise over three years. Staff are scheduled to vote on the pay offer this week. tions and home and community care services to commercial contractors.

Touch of history: An old church brought from the Mallee to the Mornington Peninsula by Chris and Donna McEvoy, above, is the latest addition to their Tanglewood Estate wedding reception business.

Church ‘resurrected’ at Tanglewood AFTER developing a rural property at Merricks North for wedding receptions Mt Martha couple Chris and Donna McEvoy decided one thing was missing: a church.

Buildings already set among Tanglewood Estate’s vineyard, eucalypts and gardens include the barn (seating for up to 200 and with an interior made from recycled timbers); a winery (seats 130 with commercial kitchen, bar and deck); and the mud brick studio (suitable for before or after ceremony drinks and small “cocktail” weddings).

There is also a residence that can be used by bridal parties and a heart-shaped dam with a back drop of Port Phillip for photographs.

While couples did not always want a church wedding, the McEvoys decided something with an historic flavour would add an extra dimension

to Tanglewood’s 60 hectares.

A wide ranging search eventually led to the small Mallee town of Woomelang, where a deconsecrated 1906 era former Anglican church was lying unused.

The church was flat-packed by a team led by Flinders-based builder Matt Johnson and then re-erected at Tanglewood.

Mr McEvoy said while some couples chose to have their marriage ceremonies either outdoors or inside one of the other buildings, the weathered church often featured in their wedding photo albums or videos.

“There’s nothing religious about it [the church] and we’ve installed clear windows so that those inside are drawn to the views and natural surrounds on the outside,” he said.

Boats plan floated for Devilbend PARKS Victoria is planning to allow non-powered watercraft such as kayaks and canoes to use parts of Devilbend Reservoir for recreation.

Shore-based fishing is already allowed in some areas and now Parks is looking to extend the range of activities at the 1005 hectare natural features reserve at Tuerong, near Moorooduc.

Community to comment is being sought on proposals to allow nonpowered watercraft on parts of the former reservoir’s 250ha of water.

Devilbend is recognised internationally for its role in the conservation of bird populations, with more than 44 species resident in the reserve, including eight threatened species.

Parks Victoria’s area chief ranger

Georgia Kerr said “we believe canoeing and kayaking as well as improving fishing experiences will contribute to improved physical, mental and social health in our community”.

“It’s really important that we ensure the proposed recreational boating activity at Devilbend considers the needs of park visitors and the impact on birdlife in the park.”

In 2015 Parks Victoria commissioned the Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research to investigate the impacts of non-powered watercraft on blue-billed ducks and other waterbirds at Devilbend.

“As a result of the Arthur Rylah Institute investigation, Parks Victoria is proposing a watercraft exclusion zone on the eastern side of the reservoir to

minimise any potential disturbance in the largest habitat area for water birds including blue-billed ducks,” Ms Kerr said. She said the noise and speed of powered watercraft was considered to be too much disruption for waterbirds “and as such won’t be allowed”.

“The discussion paper on our website provides lots of detail for the community to consider and we would like to encourage people to get involved in the discussion so we can ensure the best outcome for the park.”

The deadline for feedback on proposed boating access is open until Friday 24 March.

‘Citizen science’ study of two estuaries

Daily walk sparks call for bag ban

VOLUNTEERS working to preserve two Mornington Peninsula estuaries are being linked through a state government-funded citizen science program.

The “health” of the Balcombe Creek, Mt Martha, and that of Merricks Creek at Balnarring will be recorded as part of the project on the EstuaryWatch website, bringing the number of estuaries being monitored to 18.

The environment groups BERG Mt Martha and Merricks Creek’s EstuaryWatchers, in collaboration with Melbourne Water, have organised a presentation on EstuaryWatch by Victorian coordinator Rose Herben and aquatic ecologist Steve Harefield at midday at The Briars, Mt Martha, on Saturday 4 March.

There will also be an introduction on how data is uploaded and used on the EstuaryWatch web portal.

EstuaryWatch was set up in 2006 at Corangamite Catchment Management Authority in response to community interest and a lack of long-term data on the condition of Victoria’s estuaries.

Volunteer groups are supported by the program’s coordinators at Glenelg Hopkins CMA, Corangamite CMA, Melbourne Water and West Gippsland CMA. The data has been used to improve estuary management.

A light lunch will be provided at the presentation at The Briars and participants should notify organisers by emailing waterwatch@melbournewater.com.au Details: John Inchley 5974 1095.

DAILY beach walks have convinced Jill McIver that there is an urgent need to ban plastic bags and introduce a deposit system for cans and bottles.

A president of Mornington Environment Association Ms McIver says she wants to set up a group to specifically lobby Mornington Peninsula Shire and the state government to implement the bans.

“Nearly all states have introduced such measures, as have many countries, with successful programs eliminating plastic from the environment.

“With an ever growing tourism route measures need to be taken to stop the excess rubbish here,” she said.

Ms McIver, who has lived on the peninsula for 26 years, said every day when she walked along the foreshore she was confronted with litter, plastic and bottles.

“Rubbish seems to be an increasing problem in our society; everything seems to be able to be thrown away and not easily reusable,” she said.

“Our waterways increasingly struggle to cope with excess pollutants.

For the future of our children, grandchildren and eco system I believe [the ban] would be a major step in not only reducing landfill, but enhancing our lifestyles and educating our population.”

Ms McIver said the Queenslandbased Boomerang Bags website is a proactive attempt to reduce litter.

Mornington Environment Association members will meet at Tanti Creek car park, Mills Beach, near the bridge, for their Clean Up Australia Day activities, 9.30-11.30am, Sunday 5 March.

Goodwill gesture keeps Lily in the race MT MARTHA triathlete Lily van Raay’s first race with the Victorian Triathlon Team at Glenelg, South Australia, in early February ended in disaster.

Her $3000 bike, parked with others at their caravan park at Glenelg, South Australia, was stolen the night before the race, leaving her stranded.

“She was devastated,” dad Doug van Raay said.

But help was at hand. Knowing that Lily, 14, still had a few more races to go in the multi-race triathlon series, Mornington Cycles came to the rescue by loaning her a new bike.

Mornington Cycles proprietor Brad Clark said the store was happy to help out. “We got to know the family after Lily bought a helmet and then Mr van Raay came in again after it was damaged,” Mr Clark said.

“They had already made a significant investment with us so we were happy to help out when we heard that Lily’s bike got pinched.

“I told Doug that there was no need to rush out and buy one and that we were happy to loan her one.”

The Specialised Cervelo bike was perhaps even better than her stolen bike. “She loves it and rode her best-ever bike leg on Sunday,” Mr Clark said.

Lily, who attends Haileybury College, proved that by coming fifth in the challenging under-16 section of the ActiveTRI Series at Sandringham, Sunday 12 February, in a 400-metre swim, 20km-cycle and five kilometre run. It was her best bike leg. Her next race is the Barwon Heads Triathlon in two weeks.

Rosie Price at the store had the last word: “She’s a gorgeous kid and she’s going to be a great triathlete.”

THE NEW ATRIUM

Money wise MORE than 71,000 Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents have saved money through a creative financial education program run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence.

The region was one of the first to participate in the Savers Plus program, promoted as “the largest and longest running matched savings and financial education program in the world”, which supports participants to save for 10 months and rewards them with up to $500.

Low income earners who work but are struggling to meet backto-school costs, either their own or their children’s, are encouraged to apply for the program, which is funded by ANZ Bank and the federal Department of Social Services.

There are 77 families currently participating in the Frankston/ Mornington Peninsula program, and 2,800 across Australia.

Follow-up statistics show that 87 per cent of participants continue to save the same amount or more, and the majority are better equipped to deal with unexpected expenses. Ninety-four per cent have increased self-esteem.

The program is available to people with a Centrelink healthcare or pensioner concession card, have a child at school or are attending vocational education themselves, and they or their partner have regular income from paid employment.

Turn of the century: Jo Cooper and Ethel Lanphier are both celebrating long, satisfying lives. Picture: Yanni

Life and age ‘falls into place’ TWO Peninsula Grange Aged Care residents are celebrating milestone birthdays at the Mornington centre.

Jo Cooper, who turns 100 on Thursday 9 March, when born in Sorrento was the first great-great-granddaughter of the first white baby born in the settlement.

She moved to Melbourne to spend her married life with husband Ern and then returned to the Mornington Peninsula to spend her later years with her husband. She was one of five sisters and two brothers and grew up riding horses and swimming in the summer.

Ms Cooper has two children, two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

The secret to a happy marriage, she says, is communication and showing love for one another. Being friendly with each other is an important lesson she has learned.

Asked what she knows now about living a happy and successful life, she said: “Work

together and cooperate with each other.”

The most important principle she has lived by is respect for others.

Ethel Lanphier turned 102 on Thursday 23 February, and enjoyed a small celebration with other residents at the home.

Born in Maryborough, Victoria, as one of five sisters and four brothers, she worked as a waitress and housemaid.

Ms Lanphier married husband George when she was 19 and had a son and three daughters.

They were married for 72 years, until George died 10 years ago aged 99.

She has 15 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren and lived independently until she was 101.

Her secret to a happy marriage: “Take life as it comes and don’t worry.”

And the major values she lived by? “Life just falls into place.”

Head space experts heading to forums AN EXPERT panel of health and welfare professionals, including worldleading psychiatrist Professor Patrick McGorry, will head a public forum in Mornington to tackle the high rate of mental health issues in young people in the region.

The forum is being run by Peninsula Voice, a not-for-profit group of community bodies, and will provide practical information on how to discuss and deal with mental health in young people and where help can be found on the peninsula.

Speakers will include former Australian of the Year and worldleading researcher in early psychosis and youth mental health, Professor McGorry, psychologist Dr Diane McGreal, and Peter Dawson from Headspace Frankston.

Professor McGorry is well known for his development of early intervention services for youth experiencing symptoms of psychosis.

Peninsula resident Kerri McMillan will share her personal experience of mental illness in her family and its devastating consequences.

Figures from the state’s mental health intake service, Neami, put the two areas ahead of some of its biggest neighbours when it comes to mental health.

Peninsula Health operations director Sharon Sherwood told The Times late last year that the demand for mental health care on the peninsula, particularly among young people, had been

Professor Patrick McGorry

steadily rising for the past decade, with most patients requiring long-term treatment.

Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics released last year have revealed youth suicide had reached a tenyear high. The 2010 ABS report gave a snapshot of mental health in young people in Frankston, with 16.2 per cent of secondary students having very high levels of psychological distress, higher than the state average by 4 per cent.

Almost seven out of every 1000 young people on the peninsula were hospitalised with a psychiatric condition, slightly higher than the Victorian average. In Frankston, it jumped to around nine out of every 1000.

The forum, ‘Young people and mental health: helping young people stay (mentally) healthy’, will be at 6.30pm, Wednesday 8 March at the Peninsula Community Theatre, cnr Wilson Rd and Nepean Hwy, Mornington.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council approved the tender at its Monday 30 January meeting.

The single-level pavilion aims to better meet the needs of sporting and community groups. It will include a social room, multi-purpose change rooms, unisex toilet and shower facilities, office space and store rooms, kitchen/ kiosk, first-aid room, accessible toilets and external public toilets.

The building will also have low-energy lighting, and heating and cooling tailored to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Water efficient fittings and fixtures are also

Cr Sam Hearn said: “The shire is constantly looking for ways to improve its sporting facilities to ensure they are meeting the needs and requirements of the users.

“I look forward to seeing my old football club South Mornington, and the whole local community, enjoying this pavilion in the future.”

Work will start soon and the pavilion is expected to be completed by October.

Gill ready to lose seat over conduct code Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au DESPITE knowing it would be a breach of the Local Government Act, Cr David Gill says he won’t sign a councillors’ code of conduct unless it is changed to lift the veil of secrecy involved in decision making.

“Too many things are debated in private [by Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors], the public hardly gets to hear anything,” Cr Gill said.

The clock is ticking for Cr Gill with just two council meetings to go before the one-month signing deadline.

If he has not signed the code before Monday 13 March Cr Gill will lose his right to be a councillor.

Cr Gill claims to have been gagged at the Monday 20 February council meeting when the mayor Cr Bev Colomb refused to accept amendments he proposed for the code on conduct.

“I didn’t get a chance to change it; I was denied the opportunity to change it,” he said.

Cr Gill said he accepted some of the changes to the code but believed it worked in opposition to the council’s stated aims of wanting to be transparent.

He said more information, especially about planning matters, should be publicly available.

Cr Gill said most planning matters

were being decided “under delegation” by council officers although councillors were now “waking up to the fact there’s a need for them to speak with the officers”.

“Everything seems to be classed as a confidential working paper, which means councillors aren’t allowed to speak about them in public.

“All briefing papers are marked confidential, but they shouldn’t be. That would be transparency, and we haven’t got it right.”

Transparency was the word most frequently used by Cr Gill in the amendments he sought to the code of conduct.

“My additions and alterations to our version basically make transparency a main message … I also believe that the community will appreciate this additional emphasis,” Cr Gill stated in an email to his fellow councillors when explaining his reasons for seeking to amend the code.

The email was sent pone day before the 20 February public council meeting.

Basically, Cr Gill wanted them to agree to promoting “openness to scrutiny, transparency and accountability” in most council decisions.

During the meeting the mayor Cr Bev Colomb told Cr Gill he was “testing things at the moment”.

Cr Hugh Fraser (who signed the previous code of conduct under protest): “Those provisions of the old code of

conduct, for example, that prevented criticism of other councillors for the way in which they debate and way they exercise their vote in council have been excised in the interests of promoting openness and free speech in council and adhering to our democratic traditions.”

Governance manager Joe Spiteri said councillors could bring back amendments to the code “and the administration will act accordingly”.

In a statement issued by the shire three days later, the mayor Cr Colomb was quoted as saying she “expects the newly-adopted councillor code of conduct to further strengthen council’s governance and maintain the highest standards of conduct and behaviour in the best interests of our communities”.

The shire’s media department did not respond when asked for further comment from the mayor.

The code can be viewed at shire offices or online at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ councillors

First aid class for parents STANDING by helplessly watching a child suffer from a sudden injury, or perhaps even die, is a nightmare scenario for parents.

From babies being left in hot cars, to house-hold furniture toppling over, or toddlers scaling pool fences and falling into swimming pools … parents are beset by myriad health and safety concerns with most not having the skills or knowledge to help.

To combat this, parents and caregivers are being urged to learn paediatric first aid training at a free course being held at Mt Martha on Saturday 29 April and continuing monthly.

This is the first of many courses to be held in Melbourne’s south-east.

Co-founder and CEO of Tiny Hearts First Aid Nikki Jurcutz has seen firsthand the tragic result of parents not being able – or prepared – to act in a medical emergency.

“Time and again I would arrive at

jobs where infant and child first aid could have lessened the impact of an incident, or, even more worryingly, saved a life,” said Ms Jurcutz, who is also a paramedic with Ambulance Victoria.

Responding to this lack of community knowledge, Tiny Hearts First Aid successfully applied for government funding to allow it to train 1500 parents or caregivers in the skills needed to save their child in an emergency.

The course will cover all topics related to infant and child first aid, including CPR and water safety.

“It is our hope that, through these funded first aid courses, we can foster proactive members of our community to be empowered to act effectively if anything should happen to their child,” Ms Jurcutz said.

Tiny Hearts First Aid will be hosting the free courses each month.

Legal centre faces ‘crisis’ budget cut Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A FRANKSTON-based legal service that has helped thousands of low-income clients to access free legal advice and representation will be forced to turn away clients when the federal government cuts funding by 30 percent in July.

Peninsula Community Legal Centre has provided legal advice to 7966 cashstrapped or vulnerable clients since opening 40 years ago, but now fears for its future and is pleading for the government to reverse its decision and restore the funding.

The government has faced fierce opposition from legal centres around the country since it announced last year it would slash funding by millions from 1 July to make up for budget shortfalls.

The cuts, expected to be sustained through to 2019–20, will see community legal centres receive $31 million from estimated total federal government spending of $511.61 billion.

Peninsula Community Legal Centre’s CEO Jackie Galloway said the cuts would jeopardise the centre's ability to operate.

“We are facing a crisis in access to justice with so many people unable to afford lawyers but ineligible for legal aid. Community legal centres are vital in helping those who would otherwise fall through the cracks with legal services targeted to

those most in need,” she said.

“Each year Peninsula Community Legal Centre helps thousands of people with a wide range of problems, including family violence, family law, infringements, debt, consumer problems, tenancy disputes and employment issues.

“The impact of the commonwealth funding cuts will be significant for the centre and will mean an unavoidable reduction in front line services, loss of staff and an increase in waiting times for legal help.

“We urge [the] government to reverse the funding cuts and provide an immediate injection of additional funding to enable the centre meet the ever increasing demand for legal services.”

The centre receives funding from various sources, including the Attorney-General’s department, the state justice and regulation department, Consumer Affairs Victoria, Victoria Legal Aid and councils.

MP for Isaacs and former Attorney General Mark Dreyfus said the Peninsula Community Legal Centre was “the frontline in the battle against domestic violence”, and had helped thousands of Australians in need of free legal assistance, but who do not qualify for legal aid.

“These cuts to community legal centres will … see vulnerable local residents including victims of family violence turned away because of a lack of staff and resources,” he said.

“Labor calls on the government to reverse these cruel cuts as a matter of urgency. Vulnerable people in Dunkley and Isaacs are at risk, and I will continue to advocate on behalf of the Peninsula centre.”

Attorney General George Brandis denied responsibility for the cuts, and told The News on Friday that the former Labor government had allocated the funding and set the expiry date of 30 June 2017.

“This is the Dreyfus funding cliff – a direct result of decisions the former Attorney-General made but now, with trademark hypocrisy, criticises”, he said.

He said commonwealth funding for the Peninsula Community Legal Centre had increased by more than 40 per cent since 2010.

“Even in a resource constrained environment, the Australian government is providing over $1.6 billion for legal aid, community legal centres and Indigenous legal assistance between 2015 and 2020.”

Senator Brandis said the government was negotiating an $18.5 million agreement for legal aid commissions in each state and territory to establish and operate family advocacy and support services in family law court registries, under the “third action plan” to relieve pressure across the legal assistance sector and provide help to people affected by domestic violence.

Second show for radio heads TWO regular presenters on RPP FM have literally talked their way onto commercial radio.

Andrea “Andy” Donaldson and John “Johnny” McCormack, who present Peninsula Run on RPP on Fridays, talk about sport for SEN 1116 with Everybody’s Talking on Sundays at 7.30pm.

“We talk about sports that don’t get much media play, like snow skiing and snowboarding, Trugo and badminton,” McCormack said.

Donaldson described their SEN show as “a sports variety show where we also get up close and personal with sporting greats and personalities”.

Both presenters have had some acting roles and Donaldson said it had been “a long journey to

make it back to commercial radio, but it’s been worth the wait”.

“RPP FM local radio provides fundamental training, principles and exposure to the real world of radio and media,” station manager Brendon Telfer said.

“It’s also a great way to get involved in the vibrant, dynamic community on the peninsula.”

Donaldson and McCormack’s Peninsula Run is on RPP FM at 4pm Friday.

Listeners can live stream from the rppfm.com.au website and download the app Mr Telfer said anyone interested in media work or radio presenting can call him on 5975 2650 or email manager@rppfm. com.au

Shire pussyfoots around cat issues Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A 1300-SIGNATURE petition calling for the Mornington Community Animal Shelter to open daily to the public failed to get backing at the Monday 20 February meeting.

The council referred the petition back to council officers “for action or to report back to council on the matter”.

Cr Sam Hearn later said this meant the council “acknowledges, hears, and receives the petition but is not forming a view or taking any action”.

The petitioners – headed by Doris Campbell, of Rosebud – want to know why new homes are not found for more lost animals, especially cats.

The petition urges that the shelter be opened to the public for a minimum of three hours a day without the need to make an appointment.

The petitioners also asked that a “proactive adoption program be implemented using various marketing methods” to find homes for cats, and that the adoption process be simplified.

The petitioners are keen to see a volunteer foster care program implemented, with “full transparency of monthly statistics, and adoption prices for older dogs reduced”.

There is a long running disconnect between the petitioners and the shire over the running of the Watt Rd, Mornington, shelter.

While the shire says it seeks to rehome “all suitable unclaimed animals through its partnerships with 50 community foster care network groups”, the residents say five or six cats are repeatedly put up on the website while most cats in the pound are euthanised.

“It’s got the same animals on it all the time –

Shoppers opt to help brigade

maybe one or two different ones a week – out of all the cats that are there. If they are not on the site they can’t be rescued,” Ms Campbell said.

Governance manager Joe Spiteri told last week’s council meeting the shire sought to rehouse all “suitable” unclaimed animals through its partnerships with 50 community foster care network groups.

“However, animals which cannot be safely rehomed because of behavioural or health issues are humanely euthanised by local vets in accordance with the code of practice for the management of dogs and cats in shelters and pounds,” he said.

Chief finance officer Matt Green agreed there could be a “difference of opinion on the suitability of rehoming some of those animals”.

“But we do certainly list those animals on that site if they are suitable,” he said.

Ms Campbell sees the shelter’s much-vaunted seven-day-a-week opening hours as a furphy.

“You can’t just ring up and go there: you have to fill out a form via email and arrange an appointment time. And all visitors must be accompanied by a staff member at all times.

“They won’t do direct adoptions as they say they don’t want to become an animal retail outlet.

“Rescue groups are not being contacted by the shire because they don’t want people going there.”

The shire says a new cattery and customer service area are being built and the domestic animal management plan is due for review later this year.

Environment protection interim manager John Rankine said the review would provide the community with an “opportunity to comment on the standards currently in place”

Worthy cause: Ritchies CEO Fred Harrison hands over the keys to brigade captain Timothy Desmond, with 1st Lieutenant Scott Killeen, left, and Dromana Ritchies grocery manager Dean Jeffery, right.

A DROMANA supermarket’s generosity has paid dividends for Dromana Fire Brigade, which has received more than $300,000 in donations through the Ritchies Community Benefit Program.

This makes the brigade the highest individual CFA recipient of the supermarket chain’s fundraising program.

“The unique program has provided significant financial support to our brigade,” brigade captain Timothy Desmond said. “The money came from generous community members who chose Dromana Fire Brigade as the recipient of a percentage of their shop.”

The money – which goes directly to the brigade – was spent on a utility, one of five cars the brigade has been able to buy since 1999 at a total cost of just under $200,000.

Ritchies CEO Fred Harrison handed over the keys to the new car at Dromana Fire Station last week where he was given a tour by the members.

“From the day we launched our CB program, the local brigade was incredibly proactive in the community. I am delighted we have been able to support them in a meaningful way,” Mr Harrison said.

Captain Desmond said the car would support rescue calls within the peninsula and Western Port group boundaries. It will also be used by members to attend meetings and training, including at the CFA’s Sale campus – a 500km round trip.

The 60-member volunteer and rescue brigade responds to around 300 calls a year.

Need to broaden public involvement in planning Having attended many Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meetings and watching the angst in the galley over lack of community consultation in relation to the Somers footpath scheme and, more recently, the Rye jetty upgrade, you cannot imagine my dismay when attending the latest Tyabb ratepayer meeting only to be informed that when they requested to be included in the upcoming Tyabb airfield precinct plan, they may or may not be included in the consultation process.

Has council not learnt anything? Ratepayers and representatives of community groups have every right to be involved in the process.

I would have thought community groups should have invitations automatically extended to them when they have been most vocal over many years (in this instance I believe 14).

I implore the residents of Western Port to stay vigilant. It is your democratic right to have inclusion in the decision making process.

Lisa Dixon, Somerville (proud resident of the greater Western Port region)

Lot of hot air My letter (“Fire up the generators for our own cheap energy” The News 12/2/17) in which I advocated continuing to burn brown coal for cheap and reliable electricity certainly caused some angst.

I would like to be able to reply that carbonled global warming is a theory, not fact. This theory is flawed because contrary facts and observations that do not fit the theory are simply ignored.

It is a fact that the planet is undergoing climate change. Whether carbon dioxide causes warming or warming causes extra carbon dioxide are two theories in conflict.

The fact is, carbon dioxide forms 0.038 per cent of the atmosphere and plants, algae and the like consume it. The oceans absorb much of it.

There is a bit of a natural balance. The world’s seas are full of trillions of tonnes of fish, all emitting carbon dioxide. There are seven billion humans on this planet, set to double soon, all breathing out carbon dioxide 7/24, together with all of the domestic animals they eat, and there is cooking and heating and millions of cars producing much more of the gas.

It is hysterical to call brown coal the filthiest coal on the planet because. So what?

More facts are that the 50-year-old Hazelwood power plant puts out over 1500mw of power on demand. The German made Wonthaggi windmills, each of 2mw capacity, are rated at 33 per cent because of wind variation. It would require 2250 windmills to replace one Hazelwood-type power station, but if the wind stops the lights go out.

There is more, much more, about solar and batteries, but most of the residents of La La Land have their opinions given to them.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Power up On Wednesday 15 February I loaded down from the internet curves produced by the US government organisations NODC and NOAA that showed the temperature “anomaly” of the “world oceans vertical mean temperature” for the waters between sea level and down to 700 metres from 1955 to the present.

I did the same for the Mauna Loa Observatory showing Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in parts per million (ppm) over the same period.

I then made a plot of CO2 ppm against temperature anomaly in degrees Celsius (°C) at fiveyear intervals. Apart from smoothing the NODC, NOAA curve I made no adjustments but, as I expected and will explain, the dots from 1985 to 2015 fell in a completely straight line. This showed quite clearly that the atmospheric levels of CO2 are completely governed by the world’s seawater temperature.

The burning of all fossil fuels could stop tomorrow and there would be absolutely no effect on CO2 levels. Correspondingly, our burning of fossil fuels also has no effect on the climate that varies naturally from influence of the sun, the cosmos, volcanoes and heat from the earth.

The impetus to plot the above curve came from 2007/08 articles by the late emeritus Professor Lance Endersby who came to the same conclusion from a plot based on sea surface temperatures despite their marked seasonal variation. However, the sea has an enormous volume and cannot vary quickly so that my results cannot be doubted. Before 1985, measurements were not accurate.

Based on the above I support Brian A Mitchelson’s proposal to renew Hazelwood with efficient, clean conveyors, boilers and generators.

Henry Broadbent, Somers

Sun, wind, not coal I do wish people like Brian A Mitchelson would refrain from espousing the dubious views of ratbag scientists in the thrall of mining companies or ratbag pollies from One Nation who insist on empiric evidence supporting climate change.

Look around you Brian, at icebergs and glaciers melting at an alarming rate, the sea level rising and dramatic weather episodes around the globe.

Climate scientists around the world, including the CSIRO and NASA, are not wrong.

This federal government sacked a couple of hundred climate scientists under [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s watch [as environment minister] because they couldn’t take the truth.

Climate change deniers have a “it’s not going to effect me because I’ll be dead” attitude without a care in the world for the future.

The “Trunbull” government is going to give Adani $1 billion to towards opening a mine that will destroy the Great Barrier Reef. And, just a couple of weeks ago, the Treasurer Scott Mor-

rison was brandishing a lump of coal as if it was something precious.

Brian praised brown coal assets for being immense, ours, and free. He conveniently managed to leave off dirty.

I remember years ago when driving through Gippsland that you knew when you were reaching the Latrobe Valley when you saw the thick cloud over it. I also remember when, only a short while ago, the good people of Yallourn were faced with an underground fire in one of the pits that burned for weeks causing a lot of breathing problems and suggested deaths. Yet Brian apparently wants to subject these same inhabitants to bigger problems because he wants more generators and, therefore, more pits? Sorry mate, that’s not the way to go.

Climate change is man made. The only right and proper alternative is to use the sun and the wind.

John Cain, McCrae

Enforce noise ban The EPA says there should be no loud noise before 7am Monday to Friday, 9am weekends and public holidays.

How come on the Mornington Peninsula those very noisy garbage trucks are allowed to come around before 6am?

Also, someone needs to show the drivers that there is a way to put the bins back on the ground so that the lids are closed and not open to the rain.

G Radnetter, Dromana

Long term view On St Valentine’s Day, while speaking on the debate about “closing the education gap”, our prime minister [Malcolm Turnbull] was full of praise for Aborigines who had gained higher education qualifications. He expressed his admiration for the first Australians and their place in our society. At most large public meetings, the chairperson pays respects to the first inhabitants and acknowledges the use of their land.

The prime minister’s feelings could be seen as far from honest because he has pushed hard to permit [mining company] Adani to rip up and create a huge black hole (by offering a $1 billion to develop the infrastructure) on the Aboriginal lands which have been in their possession for at least 50- 60 thousand years, and for whom every rock, stream, plant and animal have deep significance. Our treasurer [Scott Morrison] also wants to pass legislation to prevent these first inhabitants taking the company to court to protect their land.

Our first inhabitants think in thousands of years. Our Liberal members of Parliament think in terms of a couple of years.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Prison and police I was disappointed to hear of the law and order forum after event, as I most certainly would have attended as this issue is of significant community concern (“Reform call from law forum” The News 21/2/17).

Nepean MP Martin Dixon states that if elected in 2018, a Coalition government would address these issues.

Can we as a community wait that long? I think not.

Trusting that our local elected representative will act now and totally support the state Labor government’s proposals for a new juvenile prison and 3000 more police.

Jane Clarke, Rosebud

Historical site A private jetty is being rebuilt at Sullivan Bay, Sorrento (“Shire goes to ground over jetty” The News 21/2/17). Readers should be aware that this is on the site of the first British settlement in Victoria.

Full marks to the 175 written objectors who lodged against the plan to build the $1.2 million boat ramp (the fourth) at Rye. The mystery was the motivation behind the support of this structure by Nepean ward councillor Hugh Fraser. As a local he surely realised the vast majority of Rye residents were opposed to more of those jet-skiers? A simple visit to the Rye RSL at 4.30pm (most days), dedicated smoking area, and I could have saved him a lot of time and effort.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Cull the mynahs It is most interesting to read that Parks Victoria is supporting residents around Buckleys Reserve, Merricks North, to cull feral foxes and rabbits (“Foxes on the run in Merricks north” The News 14/2/17). I would hope that a cull could be made on the Indian mynah, a bird species introduced, now in plague numbers, marauding in packs and decimating our native parrots and finches and spreading disease.

John Callow, Mt Eliza

Possums not the problem In response to Ron O’Toole’s letter (“Cull the possums” The News 14/2/17) regarding possums and what he refers to ask Pakistani pigeons introduced in the late 1800s.

He also presumes to represent the community of Mt Eliza with his statement “our frustrated plea”. I do not recall having being asked to vote or electing a representative concerning this matter and I for one would not have an intolerant individual representing me.

May I point out to Mr O’Toole that Pakistan did not exist until 1947 and as to what her refers to the un-Australian love call of these lovely birds, what would he have them sing “Oh, Danny Boy” or “Waltzing Matilda”?

As for the possums droppings. Look around you Mr O’Toole, see and smell the pollution and rubbish – I’m sure you will find that the human species is responsible for 99 per cent of it.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Private Rogers suffering from mumps Compiled by Cameron McCullough PRIVATE Rogers was unfortunate enough to be suffering from mumps on his arrival in France. *** THE Hon Secretary of the Frankston District Roll of Honor Fund wishes to acknowledge receipt of 5s from Mrs A., M. Bell, Cranbourne Road, Frankston. The total subscribed to date is £74 13s 6d. *** MR T. M. Burke, auctioneer, of 360 Collins St., Melbourne, will hold a clearing sale on Saturday, 24th March, on the premises, on account of Mr P. Meehan, of Bittern, who is retiring from business and leaving the district. *** A CRICKET match will be played at Frankston to day (Saturday), between Langwarrin Military Camp and Frankston Cricket Club. The band will be in attendance and Mrs A. D. Box and her friends will entertain the players and band at afternoon tea. *** A CORDIAL invitation is given to all to attend a Working Bee at the Frankston Cemetery this (Saturday) afternoon. Good work has already been done this season by these efforts and the committee are anxious to do as much more as possible before the bad weather sets in. *** WITH the approval of Mr D. McLeod, the Chief Secretary, Mr F. Lewis, acting chief inspector of fisheries, has refused to grant a licence to a young man at Hastings to take oysters from

an oyster bed on the ground that the applicant is eligible for enlistment. *** ON Saturday next, 10th inst., the Somerville Branch of the Red Cross Society are entertaining 150 returned sick and wounded soldiers at the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall. The Langwarrin band will lend their valuable assistance in making time pass pleasantly for the guests. *** WORD has been received from the Defence Department by his friends, that Private Charles Wilson has died in England from pneumonia. Private Wilson was a resident of Frankston, and a general favorite. He enlisted not long after the war broke out and was invalided home from Egypt. As soon as his health permitted he re-enlisted, but the English winter proved too severe for his constitution, and he succumbed as above stated. *** MESSRS Keast Bros., of Somerville, announce in our advertising columns that they have purchased the grain business of Messrs T. Ritchie and Co., of Bay Street, Frankston. The retiring firm also return thanks to their customers for their generous support during the past 23 years. *** IT is with sincere regret that we learn Private Hanton is suffering from trench feet. This news was received by his wife through the Defence Department. We trust that Mrs Hanton will very soon have more favorable news. ***

MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale of household furniture and sundries at the Gas Works, Frankston, this afternoon, at 3 o’clock on account of Mr S. Beall, who is leaving the district. They will also sell at their mart. Bay Street, on Wednesday next, at 2 o’clock sharp, farming implements, gent’s bike, household furniture, and a lot of useful tools and sundries, and at 3 p.m. the usual fruit and vegetable sale. *** Messrs Alex Scott and Co will hold their ordinary sale at Tanti, on Monday next, for which good entries have been received. The same firm will also hold a sale on Saturday, 10th March, on the property, two and a half miles from Bittern, on account of J. Buick, Esq., Western Park, who has leased his property, consisting of a large quantity of agricultural and farming implements and sundries.

The sale will commence at half-past twelve sharp. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions.

Monday, 19th Feb 1917. Before Mr Cohen, P.M., and Messrs Williams, Crawford, Grant, and Oates, J’s P. Wm. Thos Fraser was charged with failing, to have his name put on the Commonwealth Electoral Roll.

The defendant contended that he was resident of the Dandenong district, and did not reside at Somerville. A fine of 2s was imposed in default distress.

G. R. Napier was charged with reckless driving of motor car on 17th December last. The accused

was defended by Mr Thos. Kennedy, J J. Gotch, inspector of Melbourne Harbour Trust, said that he was returning from the Naval Base on the date mentioned, on a motor cycle, when on turning the corner between the Bay View Hotel and Prince of Wales Hotel, Frankston, he was met by a motor car.

The car was on its wrong side and he was on the right. The car struck the cycle with its mud guard.

Constable Ryan was sent for.

The damage to the cycle amounted to £14 or £15.

To Mr Kennedy :–There was no room for my cycle to pass between the car and the embankment. The car was going round the corner when struck the cycle. The cart was going at the rate of 15 or 16 miles an hour when it collided with the cycle. He was not knocked off because the mud guard just struck the cycle.

He swerved to the left then he was struck.

Const. Ryan deposed to being sent for on the date mentioned and on examining the tracks made by the motor car found that it was on its wrong side when it struck the cycle.

For the defence Napier contended that he was on his right side, and that Gotch brought the accident on himself by losing his presence of mind and going first to the right, then left then back again.

The Bench considered the case proved, and fined the accused 40s or 4 days imprisonment.

Lance-Corporal Mcartney and Privates Burke and Hooper were

brought up on the charge of being recently on licensed premises on the 10th December last.

Inspector E. F. Britt prosecuted and Major McInerney defended the accused.

Constable Ryan deposed that he had a conversation with the accused who admitted being on the premises on the date mentioned but denied having had any liquor.

Constables Milne and Corker, from the Melbourne Excise Dept., gave evidence as to seeing drink being served to the accused, and them drinking it, also to drink having been carried into a private room for them on three occasions.

The accused swore that they were at the premises of the Prince of Wales Hotel on the date mentioned on military duty, but that no liquor was served to them.

After hearing the evidence, they then decided to dismiss the case, as the evidence was insufficient that would allow no costs.

David Scott was brought upon the charge of neglecting to send his child to school the required number of days. A fine of 2s was imposed.

The charge against W. H. Leighton or neglecting to have his child educated was withdrawn as the child had been vaccinated since the charge was laid. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 March, 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Family Circle will be unbroken

By Stuart McCullough I’LL admit it caught my eye. There amongst the items that had spilled from a plastic bag across the kitchen table, the January 1983 edition of ‘Family Circle’ sucked me in like a gigantic black hole, complete with microwave cooking tips and a recipe for devilled eggs. It had been ages since I’d seen a copy of Family Circle and, for reasons I can’t quite explain, I was instantly reminded that I ought to see the dentist.

I’m not sure quite what I’d done to deserve it. My father had started to make a lot of noise about my siblings and I cleaning out all the things we’d left behind at his house. He’d made these kinds of threats before, but I’d always considered it idle chatter, believing deep down that my father preferred to preserve my old bedroom as a shrine to my childhood. I kept on believing this even after he converted my sister’s room into some kind of gaming complex complete with a pinball machine and the room next to mine into a ‘memorabilia exhibit’.

But my father’s latest campaign to have us remove the souvenirs of our youth so that he can make the most of the Air B’n’B revolution is starting to gather momentum. Last time we visited, we had one foot out the door when he foisted upon me a number of plastic bags stuffed to the brim. Mistakenly, I assumed this was stage one of the process of returning our belongings to us and these bags might contain things I owned. But upon emptying their contents out onto the kitchen table, I was confronted not with long lost possessions but the rejects of the world’s

There was a broken cheese knife. The handle – a plastic monstrosity that featured plastic grapes, apples and melons and seemingly took its inspiration from Carmen Miranda’s head gear – had busted clean in half and was suitable 28 February 2017

for use only as a ‘shiv’ in the maximum security wing of your local prison rather than cutting cheese per se. There was no suggestion that it had ever belonged to me. Beside the cheese knife were a couple of spatulas that were so worn as to be translucent. These were

candidates for a hard rubbish collection, not re-gifting. But now they were in my kitchen instead of by the side of the road waiting for the council truck. I could only wonder why.

But amidst the broken dinner party apparatus and clapped out cooking utensils sat a magazine. It goes without saying that I have never subscribed to ‘Family Circle’ magazine and, even if I had, it’s unlikely that I’d have subscribed whilst still in primary school.

And yet the magazine caught my eye.

It did so not because I owned it but because it represented a moment in time that has long since disappeared. This magazine was more than just a collection of ink and photographs. It was a time machine; one that transported me back to another age.

Let’s start with the cover. The main feature of the January 1983 edition of Family Circle was how to cook the perfect Christmas dinner. Which, then as now, is not especially useful information in January. Whether the original feature had been delayed and they’d decided to press ahead regardless is impossible to say now, but the fact it still went to print is somewhat heroic. As I turned the pages, both the articles and the advertisements were a joy.

I had largely forgotten the ‘Jazzercise’ revolution. Not only did the magazine include an advert for a Jazzercise album (doubtless featuring Miles Davis in leotards and Charlie Parker doing leg squats), but it also commanded its own column. It makes you wonder when Family Circle finally called time on the Jazzercise column. It would have been a tough day in the office; conced-

ing that the Jazzercise revolution had finally come to an end. There would be no such fears for the column entitled ‘The Romance of Cheese.’ It was as though someone had finally said what I’d long been thinking. Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a slice of Gouda.

I was particularly smitten my Lesley Richardson’s ‘A Guide to Mixed Drinks’. I can only assume that the accompanying photo was of Lesley herself, her hair cut keeping with the style of the time to resemble a slightly bleached helmet and clutching a tall glass of something exotic stuffed with the rest of Carmen Miranda’s hat. The advertisements were also a work of art. From the ad for Betadine’s cold sore paint through to a full page spread describing the Datsun Pulsar as Australia’s ‘most exciting new small car’.

What an age it was.

What so struck me about the magazine, besides the apparent ‘romance of cheese’ was that it represented a world that was both incredibly familiar and distant at the same time. It belonged to another age, one in which knitted tops were garish and so large that they smothered the shape of human underneath such that they looked as if they were wearing a decorative bean bag.

But this was the age of my childhood.

One where we longed to be more sophisticated than we were, where we aspired to be something better. I think I miss it. Now excuse me while I slip on my Jazzercise cassette and start cooking a Christmas feast in February. Because it’s never too late. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

WHAT’S NEW...

Rosebud Kite Festival flying high THE Rosebud Kite Festival has grown from small beginnings to become one of Victoria’s largest Kite-flying events.

Held on Sunday 12th March on the foreshore, this free family festival will showcase an array of colourful kite displays, ranging from elegant acrobatic kites to the show-stopping inflatable Maxi Kites with their creative designs and sophisticated air-filled construction. Faces will looking skyward as a flotilla of Whale Sharks, Crocodiles, Flying Pigs, Untamed Dragons and other fantastic creatures fly high above the bay at Rosebud.

Craig Hansen from Peter Lynn Kites, makers of the world’s largest Kite, will be unveiling his latest creations as well as designs from local kite flyers Jo and Trent Baker. Both parties are just back from a guest tour of India where they represented their countries at the famous Ahmedabad Kite Festival.

Against the scenic backdrop of sand, sea and sky at Rosebud, families can enjoy a program of free entertainment with live music performances on the main stage, circus skills, kids story telling, scout activities and community demonstrations.

The fabulous Frederico Boogie will be back entertaining the crowds with the help of some other curious characters; Tubby the Robot and Chippy the Pirate.

Novice kite flyers can also join in the fun alongside the experts to either fly or make their own aerodynamic creations in a special kite making workshop.

And adding to the list of activities will be an array of children’s rides, animal petting zoo, mini-golf, heaps of tasty food options, workshops, craft stalls and more.

So make the most of the long weekend, pack your picnic rug, find a spot on the grass, marvel at the beautiful kite creations and enjoy the friendly vibe of a muchloved Peninsula event.

2017 Rosebud Kite Festival When: Sunday 12th March: The Main Event (kite flying, stalls, carnival, live entertainment) 11am-5pm. *Also, Saturday 11th March: Meet the Kite Makers (no other activities) 10am-1pm.

Where: Foreshore at Jetty Rd., Rosebud.

Labour Day holiday brings three times the ferry fun DON’T spend your public holiday in a traffic jam! Searoad Ferries will have three vessels operating on the Labour Day public holiday, Monday 13 March 2017, to cater for the expected influx of day trippers, holiday-makers and music festival goers that will be travelling around the bay over the long weekend.

CEO of Searoad Ferries, Matt McDonald, said roadworks and high volumes of public holiday traffic have seen increased numbers of people turning to the ferry service to travel between the Surfcoast, Bellarine and south-western region of Victoria, and the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island and southeastern suburbs of Melbourne.

“The last few public holidays have seen higher than expected passenger numbers, particularly from travellers making their way home after a long weekend,” Matt said.

“By adding a third ferry service on Labour Day, we will be able to better manage the increased passenger numbers and ensure everyone can get home in a timely and relaxed manner.”

“There are so many benefits to taking the ferry – you can bring your car onboard, which saves you battling the Melbourne traffic, and then sit back, relax and enjoy the onboard facilities and spectacular views as you let someone else take care of the driving!” he said.

The three ferry services operating over the Labour Day weekend will depart every hour on the hour from 7am to 7pm.

Bookings are encouraged to avoid disappointment. To book, or for timetable and ticketing information, please visit www.searoad. com.au or call 5257 4500.

Kangas show true grit PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LANGWARRIN is equal top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after coming from the bleachers to knock over Mornington in the final two-day game of the home and away season.

Chasing 211 for victory at Alexandra Park, the Kangas resumed at 2/10, chasing the Doggies’ total of 210.

Things become worse very quickly for the Kangas at the beginning of day two when Mitch Bromley was removed after just five runs were added to the overnight total (3/15).

Matt Prosser and skipper Trav Campbell steadied things down and got the score to 93 before Mornington quick Michael Heib struck again.

When Tay Smith was gone for a blob

and Prosser went a short time later, the Kangas were in some real strife at 5/108.

The visitors then dug deep again, Jake Prosser and cousin Joel Bateman hitting 39 and 32 respectively to give their side some hope for the first time in the innings.

When Bateman went, the score was 8/194 with plenty of overs to play and the Kangas were in the box seat.

The evergreen Mal Coutts (24 not out), together with Matt Campbell, picked up the 15 runs required for victory.

Langwarrin’s wins over the past two matches against fourth-placed Mt Eliza and now fifth-placed Mornington gives them a 20-point buffer in third place.

The Kangas are only percentage from top spot.

Peninsula Old Boys and Baxter gave a taste of what to expect in the finals

starting in a fortnight after playing out a terrific match at Greg Beck oval.

Baxter resumed at 9/194 with four overs to bat, however, added just three runs before Tom Feldgen trapped Sam Wolsgrove in front.

POB then started its mission to hunt down the runs in 82 overs – it achieved the objective in 75 overs and with five wickets in hand.

Skipper Matt Hyden top scored for the Old Boys with an unbeaten 57, Glenn Prendergast hit 49 batting at four and Jon Forrest was not out 31.

Dale Irving was the pick of the Baxter bowlers with 2/36 from 15 overs.

Crib Point is still a outside chance of making finals after smashing Pines.

The Magpies resumed at 3/24 chasing 136 with Duane Annable and Luke Herrington at the crease.

Annable top scored with 46 and with Neil Clark adding 40 and Matt Blake an unbeaten 21, the Pies got to 8/183.

The Pies must beat POB this weekend in the final game of the season (onedayer) and rely on Somerville to beat Mt Eliza and Moorooduc to beat Mornington to make the four.

Mt Eliza recorded a comfortable victory over Sorrento.

The Mounties resumed at 4/174 with 12 overs to bat on day two and got the score to 9/216 off the full 80 overs.

Keith Biggs top scored with 55 after resuming on 40. Leigh Poholke finished with 2/8 from 2.2 overs.

In reply, the Sorras were rolled for 85 with Mark Dunball top scoring with 19.

Lyle House wound back the clock with 6/18 from 12 overs, while Shaun Knott claimed 2/39 from 15.

With 41 overs still left in the day, the Sorras were sent in again but withstood the onslaught and finished at 1/42.

Pearcedale picked up the 12 points against Somerville.

Chasing 127 for victory, the Panthers had its sights set on an outright and got the runs three wickets down off just 44 overs after Chris Dew hit 62 and Will Kennedy 51, while Kaine Smith chipped in with 42 at the end.

The Eagles were 4/131 in their second innings, preventing an outright win to the Panthers.

Long Island tasted a rare victory, smashing Moorooduc.

Defending 164, the Islanders bowled out the Ducs for 98 with Andrew Tweddle bowling 25 overs for a return of 3/37, while Chris Hocking picked-up 3/14 off 15 overs.

hill is fourth (74, 1.15) and Mt Martha is just outside on 74 points and a percentage of 1.15. On 66 points are Flinders (1.06) and Rosebud (.96).

It’s going to go down to the wire with results of the final round determining who makes the final four.

The important matches this weekend are Red Hill v Rosebud, Main Ridge v Seaford, Mt Martha v Delacombe Park and Flinders v Heatherhill.

Rosebud only has itself to blame when it misses finals after being humiliated by Rye. Rye defended just 94 to win by almost 20 runs.

Even more importantly for the Demons, however, was that they went two matches clear of Boneo and prevented

relegation, regardless of the result between the two teams this Saturday.

The Buds resumed on 3/23 and that quickly became 8/45 – they were eventually dismissed for 76. Billy Quigley top scored with 12.

Baden Powell dropped out of contention too after being smashed by Flinders. The Braves resumed at 1/11 chasing 108 for victory – they were bowled out for 90 after Matt Burns snared 4/30 and Max Royal 3/12. Flinders were 3/160 in their second dig.

Delacombe Park gained some momentum, getting the job done against Red Hill after MPCA legend Nick Christides blasted 127.

It was vintage Christides who took the

game away from the Hillmen with nine fours and eight sixes in his innings.

Chasing 182 for victory, the Parkers finished at 4/183 in 68 overs after Christides scored 127 of the team’s first 167 runs.

Main Ridge picked up the valuable 12 point against Heatherhill, pretty much assuring them a place in the finals. Results would have to go against the Ridge this weekend and they would need to be smashed by Seaford to miss the finals.

The Ridge had already won the game on the opening day, dismissing Heatherhill for 96 and then resuming at 7/121.

They finished at 9/154. Heatherhill made 8/155 in their second innings after

being 6/78 at one stage. Gareth Wyatt picked up 4/26 from 14 overs for the Ridge.

Mt Martha couldn’t get the 277 needed for victory against Seaford, bowled out for 222.

After looking like a challenger for the majority of the season, the Reds now look shaky to even make it.

Resuming at 1/10, Mt Martha quickly slumped to 3/19 before Riley Shaw (35) and skipper Mitchel Darville (57) gave them some hope.

The difference was just too great though and the Reds were always playing catch up, despite 35 from Ben Shorthouse.

Finals places go down to the wire DISTRICT

By IT Gully IT’S crunch time ahead of the final home and away match of the MPCA District season this Saturday.

It has been an incredibly tight division from round one and things haven’t changed over the course of the season.

With just a one-day match to play this Saturday, there are still six teams fighting for three places on the ladder.

Red Hill, which sits on top of the ladder, is the only team assured of a finals place as we head into the final round.

Main Ridge is in second place (86 points and a percentage of 1.35), Delacombe Park is third (78, 1.32), Heather-

Saints are an outside shot SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING is a real chance to seal a place in the MPCA Sub District finals after knocking over Tyabb on Saturday.

The Saints are currently in sixth place on the ladder, equal on 54 points with fifth-placed Tyabb and just a game behind Tootgarook (66 points), which holds fourth place.

Hastings is sitting pretty at the top of the table on 110 points and will host a home final, regardless of the result of its final game.

Ballam Park (84 points), despite be-

ing smashed by Hastings on Saturday, will definitely hold its place in the top four, while Frankston YCW is currently in third place with 78 points.

It’s all going to come down to the final match of the season, a one-dayer this Saturday to determine the makeup of the four.

Tootgarook will host Hastings and must win to book its place. If the Frogs win, they make the finals and Tyabb and Balnarring can’t possibly make it.

However, should Tootgarook lose, the Saints and Yabbies are still alive.

Balnarring host Carrum Downs while Tyabb has a much tougher assignment against Frankston YCW. The Yabbies

have a much better percentage than both Balnarring and Tootgarook.

Whilst the season has been very unpredictable this season, logic says Hastings beats Tootgarook and YCW beats Tyabb, leaving Balnarring to beat the Cougars and come from nowhere to grab fourth place.

Balnarring pulled off a sensational victory against Tyabb, which has kept them right in it.

Chasing 148 for victory, the Yabbies were cruising as we entered day two, resuming at 2/59.

However, Geoff Bradshaw had a purple patch for the Saints, snared 4/35 from 15 overs and together with

Brenton Taylor (2/15 from 10.2 overs), rolled the Yabbies for 137.

YCW made hard work of getting the 133 needed for victory against Carrum, eventually getting there with not a wicket in hand.

Batting at 11, Sam Fulton came to the crease with the score at 9/114 after watching his side lose 4/1 and go from 5/113 to 9/114. Matthew Black (29no) was at the other end.

Fulton hit two fours and a six in his 18 to help his side not only win the game but win comfortably by 31 runs.

Luke Hewitt snared 4/21 off 15.2 overs to go with his 99 with the bat and Isuru Dias claimed 4/24 off nine overs

to help Hastings smash second-placed Ballam Park. Defending a massive 9/318, Hastings zipped through the Knights, which made just 118.

Stuart Plunkett top scored for the Knights with 27 and David Cross got 24. The next best was 11 and there lays the issue with Ballam Park. If Plunkett and Cross don’t make runs, then the team is vulnerable.

Tootgarook successfully defended its 7/326 against Carrum Downs, bowling them out for 179.

AJ King was at his best for the Frogs with 4/33 from 20 overs, while Cougars skipper Ryan Lynch top scored with 56.

Collier saves Skye, Heart in seventh heaven SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A MARCUS Collier hat-trick rescued Skye United and powered its 5-3 come-from-behind FFA Cup win on Saturday against Elwood City.

The match was held at Doveton’s Waratah Reserve and Skye was forced into extra time to settle the issue against its lower league opponent.

Daniel Attard ran onto a through ball and slotted it past advancing Elwood keeper Roddy Beccara in the 22nd minute but by half-time Elwood had come roaring back to lead 2-1.

A Sammy Hehir free kick had levelled the scores after 37 minutes and a John Andrinopoulos own goal just before the break saw Skye trudge off the pitch ruing its profligacy up front.

A minute into the second half Scott Vile’s cross from the left was greeted with a superb low diving header from Anthony Moran at the near post to make it 3-1 and Skye had a mountain to climb.

Endeavour United recruit Jason Nowakowksi gave Skye some hope by converting a 73rd minute penalty and a stunning Collier volley in the final minute of normal time gave Billy Armour’s men a lifeline.

By now Sandown Lions recruit Wumjuck John Jang was trying to outdo the Energizer Bunny and Elwood’s flagging defence couldn’t contain the livewire attacking midfielder.

Two minutes into the second half of extra time Collier struck a low long-range shot that eluded Beccara and went inside the far post and in the final minute of the extended period big Khor Gatluak nutmegged Vile then cut the ball back to Collier who skinned an opponent then cheekily stroked the ball past Beccara to make it 5-3.

State 4 South outfit Baxter bowed out of the FFA Cup with a 3-1 home loss to State 3 North-West opponent Fawkner on Saturday.

Baxter’s goal came when big Mark Pags broke through and lobbed the Fawkner keeper in the 40th minute after having a goal controversially disallowed earlier in the half.

Fawkner’s goals came from Ray Rusca (24th minute), Josh D’Alessi (28th) and Saso Grozdanoski (68th).

Rosebud Heart travelled to Ballarat on Sunday and thumped local side Victoria Park 7-0 in their FFA Cup clash.

Perennial goal machine Dave Greening scored five with singles to Simon O’Donnell and Cory Osorio.

Hat-trick hero: Skye United star Marcus Collier. Picture: Gemma Sliz.

The pick of Greening’s haul was a superb team goal started by keeper Sean Skelly who rolled the ball wide and a neat one-two released Callum Richardson whose cross was converted by Greening with a diving header.

Somerville Eagles is out of the FFA Cup after losing 2-1 to Latrobe Valley side Falcons 2000 at Monterey Reserve on Sunday.

The Gippsland visitor had already knocked out North Ballarat and Rowville in qualifying for the first round proper and created the better chances in the first half but could not break the deadlock.

28 February 2017

Falcons’ best chance came in the 38th minute after a defensive blunder by Somerville substitute Chris Hales who had replaced the injured Dalton Thomas-Staines in the 30th minute.

Hales was robbed by Falcons’ overlapping left back Kevin Carcellar who cut the ball back to Jamie Pistrin to roll into the path of Nick D’Alessandro who blasted his shot over the bar from close range.

The stand-off was broken three minutes into the second half when D’Alessandro was sent through and neatly slotted the ball past advancing Eagles’ custodian Toby Lawson.

D’Alessandro again broke clear a few minutes later only to lob the stranded Lawson and the crossbar.

A fine solo run past three opponents by Falcons’ Jesse Kennedy enabled him to lay the ball off to Tom D’Alia in the 60th minute but his low strike from the edge of the area was wide of the far post.

Then came a frenzied minute in which two goals were scored.

In the 71st minute Jarryd Lymer who had gone forward for a set piece met the ball with blistering force sending a sizzling volley past Falcons’ keeper Adam Brooker.

Eagles’ fans were still celebrat-

ing when Conor Clarke restored Falcons’ lead when he broke into a one on one with Lawson and neatly stroked the ball past the helpless keeper.

Clarke is the son of Irish defender and former Morwell Falcons star Gerry Clarke and his well finished goal was the sealer.

The draw for the second round of the FFA Cup takes place at FFV’s St Kilda Road headquarters today (Monday).

This draw will include Peninsula Strikers, Seaford United and Frankston Pines.

Mornington, Langwarrin and Casey Comets enter the cup draw at round three stage with NPL clubs joining the competition during round four.

Meanwhile Frankston Pines vicepresident Daniel Plaiche last week announced that four more Mauritian imports are heading to Monterey Reserve.

Fabrice Pithia is an attacking midfielder, Dwayne Diamond-Heerah is a striker, Adrien Botlar is a striker and Damien Balisson is a left back or defensive midfielder.

Pithia and Diamond-Heerah are expected to join Pines in March in time for the opening of the league season.

Botlar and Balisson are 20-yearolds currently plying their trade in the Mauritian Professional Football League which ends in June. Both have represented the senior national team and are expected here in July.

Pines are in talks with midfielder Francois Armansin from Casey Comets, wide midfielder Sajnesh Sugrin from Morwell Pegasus and Alfonso Cardinale, ex-Keilor Park, who was goalkeeping coach at Casey Comets last year.

Langwarrin mauled visitor Whittlesea United in Sunday’s friendly at Lawton Park running up a 9-0 scoreline with English import Alex Metcalfe scoring four goals.

Casey Comets play Doveton in a friendly at Comets Stadium this Wednesday 1 March at 7.30pm, Baxter has a friendly at home against Ashburton next Saturday at 3pm, Mornington is at home next Saturday against Westgate at 5pm while Langwarrin is at Phillip Island for a pre-season camp next weekend.

Preseason friendly results: Peninsula Strikers 0 Mornington 4, Casey Comets 3 Mazenod 0, Mornington 1 Banyule Utd 2, Frankston Pines 2 Lyndale Utd 2, Seaford Utd 1 Southern Stars 1, Langwarrin 9 Whittlesea Utd 0.

American talent joins Steelers team

By Ben Triandafillou THE Westernport Lady Steelers have finalised their squad after recruiting an exciting American talent, Eboni Ross, as well as another two players for their upcoming 2017 Big V Season.

The Steelers have landed their biggest signing for 2017 with the addition of Eboni Ross from Shaw University/ North Carolina A&T. Renowned for her defensive prowess in the American Collegiate system, Eboni, who stands at an imposing 6’3”, has plenty of experience playing professionally in Turkey as well as having a very successful Collegiate career.

A true team player, Ross is looking forward to the season ahead and will add a

much-needed presence in the paint that the Steelers currently lack.

“She adds the one thing we’ve been lacking, which is a serious interior presence,” coach Mark Holman said.

“We have speed and length everywhere else, but Eboni will bring us an ‘X factor’ when she’s out there, that few other teams have the luxury of. The entire team is looking forward to having her here.”

Eboni arrived in Melbourne last Wednesday (22 February) and began training with the team on Thursday night.

“I am excited to be joining the program. This upcoming season I hope to reach the playoffs and have an opportunity to get a championship that I’ve never won,” Ross said.

“My ability and passion as a post player have always been my assets. Most times I look for my teammates before I look for my own offence. I am a very unselfish player and love making plays for my teammates.

“I would hope to bring some more experience, dominance and toughness to the team. And I would hope my new teammates will help me develop even more as a player because there is always room for improvement. Most importantly I hope to have an amazingly, enjoyable and successful season.”

The promising Steelers line-up will also have two local women, Dallas McGuire and Tamara Hewish, joining the roster.

McGuire will be making a return to her local club after spending several years out of the game overseas in America and will provide a solid pass first, point guard for the Steelers.

Whilst Hewish, a former Chelsea Gulls player, was welcomed to her new club at the Steelers and with her perimeter shooting and quick-running game will be a major help to the team. Tamara has played both seniors and participated in the Youth League competition, where her athleticism and scoring touch has been troublesome for the opposition.

With the addition of their young talent, the highly anticipated Steelers women’s team is set for a bright season with their now complete roster.

Godolphin targets Mornington Cup run

By Ben Triandafillou THE 2017 Ladbrokes Mornington Cup will see an international runner for the first time as the highly-respected Godolphin trainer, Charlie Appleby, brings the talented Gold Trail down-under in an attempt to gain exemption from the Caulfield Cup ballot.

Following an incredibly successful Melbourne Spring Carnival with his team of thoroughbreds, including the likes of Oceanographer, Qewy, Scottish and Francis Of Assisi, Appleby is determined to continue his success’ in Australian racing with his team over the Autumn Racing Carnival.

Gold Trail will be targeting the Mornington Cup on Saturday 25 March as the race provides the winner with an automatic entrance into the Group One Caulfield Cup which will be run in October.

The Canterbury Quarantine stables in New South Wales will be swamped in Royal Godolphin Blue as the Newmarket trainer sends out his three international runners, Penglai Pavilion, Polarisation and Gold Trail before heading to Mornington.

“There are two more weeks in quarantine in Dubai then they’ll head to Canterbury for two weeks and then [Gold Trail will] head to Melbourne for the main target in the Mornington Cup,” Appleby said.

International horse scout Leigh Jordon is excited about the prospect of Charlie Appleby’s Gold Trail entering the Mornington Cup and adding to the atmosphere.

“I think if he’s running there it’ll be a big day for Mornington. He’ll be the first international to run in the Morning-

ton Cup and you’d think it would bring with it more publicity for the event which hopefully turns into more people coming through the gates.” “[Gold Trail] may come to Werribee quarantine for a short period if he arrives early but at the moment he’s in quarantine at Dubai with the other two horses.

He flies out to Sydney around 7 March.”

Appleby’s other two horses, Polarisation and Penglai Pavilion, will be targeting the Sydney Cup and should flourish on the softer surface in Sydney.

Assistant trainer, James Ferguson, will be overseeing the horses in Australia with a small team to represent the Godolphin Racing Stables.

It’s set to be an intriguing Mornington Cup with the likelihood of the international runner, Gold Trail, running in hopes to secure a spot for the spring.

Ex-Hawk to help Dolphins back to VFL

By Ben Triandafillou THE Frankston Dolphins have appointed the highly-respected exHawthorn player, Gary Buckenara, as their new general manager to help gain re-entry back into the VFL for 2018.

Ending their 51-year association with the competition, the Frankston Dolphins were removed from the VFL due to grave financial issues at the end of last year.

Buckenara brings his extensive experience in football to the Dolphins, having recently spent a short period of time as a Hawthorn recruiter and

played a crucial role in the club’s three-year premiership streak.

“Gary will bring his vast knowledge of the football industry and he will also give the profile of the club a huge boost with his contacts in football and in business,” Frankston Football Club operations manager Tina Bremert said.

“Already in his short time at the club we have noticed so much positivity and energy towards the Frankston Dolphins and the quest to get their VFL license back for the 2018 season.”

Buckenara said club officials were

Sudoku and crossword solutions

diligently working through AFL Victoria’s conditions that would enable the Dolphins to be reinstated.

“We have got criteria that we need to show AFL Victoria that we have ticked off and we apply to them on the 30th of June 2017 and a decision will be forthcoming from them late July-early August,” Ms Bremert said.

Buckenara is asking people to join and become members to assist in building a stronger membership culture that the club has recently lacked.

“One thing I know from my days at Hawthorn is that no one person can do it alone. We want the community

to stand with us and support our work to rebuild the club,” Buckenara said.

“One of my first tasks is to get supporters and sponsors involved and to build a membership culture. I’m encouraging everyone to go to the club website and buy a 2017 membership package.

“It’s only $50 and gives people a chance to be a part of history and help get the Dolphins back in the VFL. “We had 3245 people sign a ‘Stand with the Dolphins’ petition in late 2016 and now is the time to turn that support into the more tangible and real substance of club membership.”

RED HILL SHOW

From the pounding axes to jazz grooves…

The Red Hill Show has it all.

THE Red Hill Show has a line-up of great entertainment this Labour Day Saturday. “The shows committee has worked hard finding funding for the majority of the events and entertainment this year”, remarked Bec Davis, Executive Officer. “We are so excited at the quality and variety of free entertainment on offer. It’s really tough deciding which ones to write about. The Clydesdales and Heavy Horses will be joined by the pretty patterned Pinto’s on the top oval this year. Kids will love the free rides, animals and workshops, while mums and dads will really appreciate the rhythms, ambiance and demonstrations”.

Take a front row seat in the grandstands as the Woodchop Arena plays host to a Victorian Title. Braydon Meyer will take centre stage along with other top class competitors for a chance at becoming the Victorian Underhand Champion.

Braydon is a member of the World Champion Chopperoos Team Australia who in Germany last November took home their 3rd straight title in the new World Record time of 46:45! See him in action at the show.

The local kids of Music Industry will kick off the sound stage program at 10am followed by an African drumming workshop for all ages. Simon Fraser from African Drumming, roots of West Africa will run 3 workshops for about 30 people starting at 10.45am. Then get into the jazz grooves with The Jackson Four – “Fantastic performance, had the whole place jumpin” quote from Venue Management (Ain’t Nothin But The Blues Bar, Soho, London), and finish up the sound stage entertainment with Rob Papp & Blueshead, a legendary guitarist creating an exciting blend of fusion and blues.

Celebrate cider and a starstudded cooking stage!

AS the program unfolds, the shows committee can reveal that the cooking stage will be on fire again this year.

Celebrated local food writer, Richard Cornish will be the MC and Michael Demagistris, Masterchef Semi-Finalist will be demonstrating his craft. A Mornington Peninsula local, Michael runs the successful restaurant East at Mt Martha. Trained under several of the culinary world’s most revered chefs, he gathers inspiration from the ocean and land that surrounds us and incorporates these local fresh ingredients in his dishes.

We are thrilled to have Richard Cornish, a former comedy writer and TV producer who has found his calling in writing about food and all its attributes as our MC. Once an acclaimed commentator on the 7 Network series Iron Chef Australia, he is now a regular contributor to the Sydney Morning Herald, Gourmet Traveller and The Age’s Good Food section in which he writes the popular and humorous Brain Food column.

Richard Cornsih

Max Allen

The Mornington Peninsula Shire launched the MPP Logo initiative in 2016 promoting local produce. At the Gourmet Paddock area around the cooking stage you can chat with these local producers.

The Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, is rapidly developing a vibrant cider reputation. In recognition of this quickly expanding and exciting industry, the Red Hill Show Society is announcing the inaugural Red Hill Cider Show March 11th. Cider makers have an opportunity to benchmark their products against that of their peers. Classes will reflect both New World and Traditional styles of cider and perry. National cider judge Wayne Hewitt will head the panel of industry leaders when judging takes place on the 9thMarch. Renowned wine and cider reviewer Max Allen will run a masterclass on our cooking stage and present the trophy to the winning cider. Come and be a part of this cider celebration!
