Bay crossing goes overboard for entertainment Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PASSENGERS on the final ferry for the day on Tuesday were entertained by a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the vessel and leaping from its bow waves.

Researchers believe the dolphins’ “bow riding� is a social activity often indulged in after a meal. “Without mind-reading a dolphin, it just looks likes good fun; the equivalent of a surfer catching the perfect

wave,� Dolphin Research Institute research director Sue mason said.

Coincidentally, Tuesday’s display was admired from the ferry’s aft deck by surfers Ted Bainbridge (founder Peninsula Surf), Laurie Thompson (founder Islantis Surfboards) and surfboard maker Mick Pierce returning from a Pioneer’s Day held in conjunction with the annual Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach Easter contest.

Thompson recounted being “escorted into harbour� by dolphins while sailing to the Andaman Islands

in the Indian Ocean with Bainbridge some years ago. Pierce sees pods of Port Phillip dolphins while travelling in a smaller boat to a favourite wave spot near Point Nepean.

While the dolphins made good use of the bow waves a jet-ski rider used the ferry’s wake as a launching ramp.

One dolphin appeared to chase the jet-ski in much the same way as a dog runs after a car and, as soon as he saw the dolphin, the rider stopped accelerating as required by law. “Our resident dolphins in Port Phil-

Teachers’ outdoor experience TEACHERS from across Victoria have taken time out from being in front of the class to be taught all about Nature Pedagogy.

The course taught by Claire Warden at the Woodleigh school’s Minimbah campus to 42 teachers saw them sitting at desks in the classroom as well as going outside to make miniature shelters, baskets and tie knots.

The six-day Nature Pedagogy course gives teachers skills for working with children indoors and outdoors.

Ms Warden is an educational consultant who has also written several books, including The Potential of a Puddle (outdoor play); Talking and Thinking Floorbooks (planning methodology that supports consultation and democracy in early education);

The Right to be Me (rights of children to high quality provision); Nurture through Nature (working with children under three outside); and Nature Kindergartens (children’s connection to nature and naturalistic spaces such as forest schools and kindergartens, woodland camps and nature kindergartens).

The pedagogy course being taught at Minimbah is described as being an inspirational journey to show teachers how to use natural elements “to deliver exciting authentic play and learning experiences for children from birth to 11 years”.

The teachers were shown how to “document” children’s voices and their theories of the world “so that nature based learning is embedded in core teaching and learning”

Woodleigh teacher Kate Marino said Woodleigh already runs an “amazing outdoor education program” which had inspired Claire Warden to make her visit and use the school grounds and creek at the back of the Mt Eliza property as a site for her lessons.

Ms Marino said children at the Minimbah campus spend one day a week out of the classroom in “a wild space”.

Bigger plans for shire’s ‘super’ ward Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

In its submission signed by president Colin Watson, the NRA gives examples of proposed developments in Sorrento and casts doubt on the “problematic” expansion of Martha Cove, Safety Beach.

Eddie Matt, of Rye, has written to the VEC saying that as a farmer he wants to remain in Red Hill ward.

“Our interests as voters in the current Red Hill ward are best served by having a vote in the agricultural land use which is predominantly the Red Hill wards landscape,” Mr Matt states.

“This vote gives us a greater collective voice in the use and protection of the Green Wedge instead of being shifted into the Nepean ward which is predominantly zoned urban and used as residential/holiday homes where our agricultural voice would be lost.”

Andrew Raff, who lives in Fingal close to St Andrews Beach, says he has previously taken his concerns to the Nepean Ward councillor rather than the one representing Red Hill ward “for which, geographically and sociologically, we have had very little to do with”.

“I believe the Nepean ward boundary should enclose the area from Truemans Rd and all to the west to Point Nepean,” Mr Raff said.

“The area to the west of Truemans Rd has very little – except it is in the Mornington Peninsula Shire – to do with the Red Hill ward and basically it is completely associated with the southern peninsula region, thus it should be in the Nepean ward.”

Proposed ward boundary changes

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s Red Hill ward may encompass more than half the municipality, if proposals put forward by the Victorian Electoral Commission are adopted.

The VEC’s review of ward boundaries based on the number of voters, not size, is likely to mean that just one councillor will represent as much property as that of the other 10 councillors combined.

Red Hill ward is currently represented by Cr Tim Wood, elected in a by-election in August 2014 following the resignation of Frank Martin.

The VEC review of boundary changes – to ensure the number of voters represented by each councillor is within the 10 per cent average for the municipality – is being made before the council elections in October.

The final report is due to be released Wednesday 6 April.

The proposed boundary changes, although mostly minor, have again sparked criticism of a single councillor being able to adequately represent such a large ward.

The legality of Australia’s local government system is also being questioned by Samuel Crane, of Rosebud West, who wants the VEC to “closely investigate” his belief that the Local Government Act 1989 “did not receive a valid royal assent”.

The Balnarring Beach Community Association says voters in Red Hill ward lose some of their democratic

rights because “one councillor in a very large ward cannot deal with all concerns adequately”.

Association president David Gill, a councillor and shire president of the former Shire of Mornington, said if the one councillor was ill other councillors could make decisions about the ward without being “fully aware of issues or the local knowledge”.

“The community and their one local ward councillor may disagree on an issue. In practice, other ward council-

lors usually follow the lead of the ward councillors on an issue in their ward,” Mr Gill said.

“We suggest that Red Hill ward should have two councillors and that 12 councillors be elected for the [shire] with chair having both a deliberative and casting vote as normal.”

A submission by the Friends of Cape Schanck also calls for Red Hill ward to be represented by more than one councillor.

The group wants the VEC to investi-

gate cutting the ward into two or three “and then explore adding more populated areas into those sections to meet the voter threshold for each councillor”.

Further south, the Nepean Ratepayers Association believes adding St Andrews Beach to Nepean ward would be a “better fit” than moving the boundaries to include “thinly populated” land centred on The Dunes golf course and “the whole of Tootgarook” and its 4479 voters.

No Ferrari-fast finish in jet ski battle David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au GETTING jet skis banned from Port Phillip could be a long, hard grind for its current sole public advocate, Cr Hugh Fraser. His first hurdle will be to persuade a majority of his council colleagues to support him.

But Cr Fraser, veteran barrister at law, can be persuasive and determined.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has no policy position on jet skis, says Cr Bev Colomb, currently president of the Association of Bayside Municipalities (ABM), through which Cr Fraser must advance his case for a ban.

His first task will be to convince his councillor colleagues – a number of whom could prove difficult to sway – to support his cause and to establish a shire policy. Only after he has achieved that can he begin advocating to the ABM, which may be even harder to persuade.

The 10-council group covers the entire bay coast, including Hobsons Bay. Its members must agree to lobby the state government to ban jet skis.

While some councils, including Mornington Peninsula Shire, have

problems with “personal water craft” (PWCs), as jet skis and other powered water craft are formally known, not all are likely to favour a ban, for a variety of reasons, including recreational and political, and pressure from watercraft owners and the PWC industry.

Cr Fraser’s case is straightforward.

“Jet skiers and swimmers don't mix,” he says. “It's no different to a motorbike on a footpath.”

The Victorian Jet Sports Boating Association put the same argument to a 2014 submission to a state government inquiry into the marine rescue services.

“A 300 horsepower watercraft is a deadly weapon in the wrong hands, just as a 200hp motorbike is a deadly weapon in the wrong hands,” its vicepresident Shan Newman stated. “Most modern watercraft are faster from 0-100 than just about any Ferrari on the road.”

Mr Newman’s submission also argued for a tougher licence test for PWC operators. It was too easy for a 12-year-old to get one after “an easy multiple choice test”.

Cr Fraser echoes this easy going attitude many PWC owners have to their craft. “Once launched, jet skiers return to anchor close in off shore

among swimmers,” he says. “This has to stop. Separate designated areas aren't policed and don't work.”

He is on shakier ground with his next line of argument – that jet skis are banned from Sydney Harbour and therefore Victoria could do the same on our bay. Sydney’s harbour buzzes with watercraft, from cruise liners and speedy catamaran ferries to spectacular skiffs, ocean-going yachts and humble tinnies.

Our bay has a fraction of Sydney’s boat numbers, spread over a less constricted space.

Again, Cr Fraser gets support from Mr Newman of the jet boats group.

“It only takes a small handful of reckless individuals to tarnish the reputation of a sport or recreation,” he wrote in his submission. “But none more so than [PWC] operation; this is compounded because when a watercraft is used in a reckless manner, it is usually witnessed by hundreds of people at a crowded beach.”

Tension has existed between jet skis and swimmers for years. In March 2012 a swimmer died after being hit by a jet ski with two men on board in a “swimming only” area in Port Melbourne. The jet ski did not stop, returning only after it was waved

down by nearby fishermen.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire’s draft marine precincts strategy, dated September 2014 and produced by consultant AECOM, contains only two references to jet skis. They are almost identical.

The strategy quotes “government and agency feedback” stating that “jet skis are a growth industry that government policy and initiatives should support in terms of manufacturing, servicing and recreational infrastructure”.

“Parks Victoria estimated that the jet ski market has grown by approximately 19 per cent in recent times.”

Further down, the report reveals that the “government and agency” was in fact Parks Victoria but adds no further detail.

While much of this is imprecise consultant chaff – was “recent times” an acceptably precise term to use in a report to council? – the one important fact that emerges is the huge growth in the number of these craft.

The Association of Bayside Municipalities meets every second month.

Cr Colomb says it has a crowded agenda for its next meeting (21 April), focusing on the implications for the bay and its beaches of the sale of the

Port of Melbourne. The group also has research under way and continuing coastal issues such as beach cleaning, she says.

The ABM welcomes all councillors to attend its meetings but only one delegate a council can vote.

With the next Mornington Peninsula Shire council meeting scheduled for 11 April, Cr Fraser appears to have ample time to prepare his case for his councillor colleagues.

The problem is the date of the next ABM meeting, with its packed agenda possibly meaning the jet ski matter may not be discussed this side of the federal election.

Cr Fraser may be about to experience a winter of – if not discontent, at least niggling frustration. To “persuasive” and “determined” he may have to add “patient”.

At least most jet skis will be absent from the bay, snugged down for the cold months, as he waits.  The Association of Bayside Municipalities comprises the Cities of Port Phillip, Kingston, Bayside, Melbourne, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, Greater Geelong and Frankston, the Borough of Queenscliffe and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Volunteers make the most of the CFA THE CFA volunteers’ association believes diversity is vital to CFA and its work of protecting the community.

Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria District 8 president Eric Collier says being a CFA volunteer is “about commitment, skills and professionalism”.

“CFA brigades welcome volunteers of any gender, age or cultural background. The one thing we all have in common is a commitment to serve our communities,” Mr Collier said.

“CFA Brigades are from the community and for the community. We want our membership to be as diverse as the communities of which we are part.

“The jobs a volunteer can undertake are quite diverse. Volunteers operate at every level, from front line firefighter or community education roles, through to the most senior incident command roles, in specialist roles such as being a fire Investigator, emergency medical response, and in support roles handling things like administration, equipment maintenance, logistics and fundraising.”

Mr Collier said involving more

women had been “a particular success for CFA over the past generation”.

“Women now make up more than 20 per cent of all CFA volunteers.

Nearly 5000 women are front line firefighters and there are growing numbers of women in command roles such as brigade captain and group officer,” he said.

“Female volunteers are part of the great volunteer resource that gives CFA its surge capacity - the ability to put thousands of trained, experienced firefighters into the field at short notice to deal with multiple major incidents across Victoria and interstate.

And they do this whilst maintaining the capacity to provide day to day emergency response in their local brigade areas.”

The state’s 60,000 volunteers are more than 97 per cent of CFA’s workforce protecting 60 per cent of suburban Melbourne, regional cities and all of country Victoria.

To find out more about joining the CFA visit cfa.vic.gov.au or talk to a CFA volunteer.

We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

TABLOID or broadsheet, these newspapermen have no problem accepting either. Des Poulton, Dick Matthews and Ted Martin are part of the St Mark’s Paper Tie Up team who collect and bundle newspapers to be sold for recycling.

The men are part of a larger team from St Marks Uniting Church, Mornington that over the past 20 years

or so has raised more than $50,000 for charity by joining the recycling chain that also lessens the amount of waste going to landfill.

Going back just one year, the Tie Up team started 2015 with $369 and saw that amount jump to $2890 to be distributed at year’s end to 10 different charities.

That amount was 16 per cent up

on the previous year, following successful negotiations with the recycling company which agreed to a price increase.

“The new arrangement eliminates the need to manually load papers onto a truck and is commercially much more attractive in a declining market,” team member Rod Davies said.

The original Skipping Girl now in Sorrento Melissa Walsh melissah@mpnews.com.au

Model in lights: Irene Barron, above, and, right, how she appeared when modelling for the Skipping Girl Vinegar sign, top. Picture: Yanni

FOR eight decades the neon Skipping Girl Vinegar sign has delighted children and adults as it lights up the streets of inner city Melbourne, at Abbotsford.

The girl known as Little Audrey - the original Skipping Girl lives at Sorrento.

Irene Barron, 94, was the model for what became Australia’s first animated neon sign while working as a young artist for Neon Electric Signs.

“I was nearly 14 when I started there after winning a drawing competition. The prize was you got to work there,” Mrs Barron said. “I was the smallest there and so they wanted someone to skip for them so they could see what the movement of the skipping rope was like and how my dress moved as well.”

Mrs Barron remembers skipping for hours to help the other designers work out how the famous neon rope should move.

“My mum made a dress for me to wear so they could get the movements right, and we had to climb over it when we were working on it because it was so big. It took up a lot of room.”

The original sign was erected over the Skipping Girl Vinegar factory in Abbotsford in 1936 before being moved to its present site at 651 Victoria St in the 1960s.

“I would get the train home every night and see the sign flashing from the carriage. I would look at it and think ‘Wow that’s me’,” Mrs Barron said.

When the Skipping Girl Vinegar factory was moved in 1968 and the building was demolished by Whelan the Wrecker to make way for the MFB Building in Victoria St, Abbotsford, Little Audrey sat dormant for years in a panel beater’s shop.

As fate would have it, a couple of years later she was discovered by another Melbourne icon, Barry Humphries. Soon public calls were heard for her restoration and by 1970; a new sign was made and restored in Victoria St 200 metres from the original site.

After being switched off in 1986 and again in 2001, the Skipping Girl sign was restored once again with thanks to AGL, the National Trust of Australia, the Heritage Council of Victoria and the Melbourne Restoration Fund. In her 75th year she was given solar power and now keeps on skipping brightly.

Although the last time Mrs Barron saw her was in the 1970s, the memory of her still burns bright as day.

Lessons in the outdoors ENVIRONMENT Week at The Briars, Mt Martha, sees children involved in with science as well as inspecting displays and listening to experts.

Finn and Max from Boneo Primary School, above, were able to get up close to some sea creatures with Ben Francischelli of Southern Ocean Education.

The Boneo pupils were among the thousands of schoolchildren attending The Briars, Mt Martha, during the Mornington Peninsula Schools Environment Week, 15-18 March.

Some parts of the 230 hectare Mornington Peninsula Shire-owned property were closed to the public to make way for the influx of pupils from

throughout the peninsula.

Organisers says the annual environment week includes a range of activities “designed to instil in children, a sense that they can make a difference through living a sustainable life and contributing to a sustainable future”.

“In fulfilling our mission of ‘connecting students to their environment’, we aim to build upon the excellent learning taking place in schools throughout the peninsula to ensure our children understand their environment and have an awareness of its impact on our health and well-being,” environment week committee president Silvio Vitale said.

New show to keep an eye on the peninsula

Leadership on family violence: Rosie Batty has been appointed head of a new Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council by the state government. Picture: Gary Sissons

New role for Rosie Batty FORMER Australian of the Year Rosie Batty will lead a new Victim Survivors’ Advisory Council as part of a state government plan to implement all recommendations of a Royal Commission into Family Violence due to hand down its recommendations this week.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the advisory council will have a say on how the Labor state government ensures the Royal Commission’s findings are used to reform the family violence system across Victoria.

Ms Batty’s son Luke was murdered by his father Greg Anderson, who had a history of mental illness and violence against Ms Batty, at the Tyabb football and cricket oval in February 2014.

Mr Anderson was shot by police and died in hospital the day after the horrific incident that shocked the nation.

Ms Batty became a high-profile advocate against family violence and lobbyist for more protection for victims.

“I’m very proud to have former Australian of the Year Rosie Batty lead the Victims Survivors’ Advisory Council. Her courage and leadership is an inspiration to all of us,’’ Mr Andrews said.

Prevention of Family Violence Minister Fiona Richardson thanked victims of domestic abuse for speaking out at Royal Commission hearings.

“Survivors have told us their stories. Now we need to make sure we give them the change they have long asked for,’’ she said.

Ms Batty’s appointment has bipartisan political support.

“Rosie is a formidable advocate and a great contributor for better public policy,” State Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy said.

Wife’s art behind doctor’s ongoing legacy Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IT’S been nearly a year since Richard John died.

His death was no surprise to those close to him, his family and many friends. Having been diagnosed with a virulent form of brain cancer the previous year they had had time to adjust to what they were told was a fatal disease.

“He said it was his fate and accepted it gracefully,” his wife Cath said last week. “He was open-minded and was interested in the analytical psychology of [Carl] Yung. He was a bit of a philosopher, curious about life and open to ideas.”

Perhaps his attitude came about from his medical knowledge. Richard John, 55, was a doctor who had practiced at the clinic in Mt Martha for the past 15 years. Before that he had been at Alice Springs and Warrnambool.

Patients fortunate enough to rarely need a visit to the doctor were still requesting appointments months after he took his leave from the clinic.

To them, Richard John was the doctor who listened patiently to explanations for their visit to the clinic and then worked out the best treatment.

For his own illness, he participated in a drug trial and attended the Ian Gawler Foundation in Victoria, where he appreciated the care given but found the meditation and strict diet hard to take.

He avoided taking major painkillers almost until the end. There was no cure and Dr John died on 16 April 2015.

Since then Cath and their two

Cath John, left, drew inspiration from her late husband Richard, above, and is now holding an art exhibition to raise money nfor Aboriginal youth.

daughters Chloe and Grace, have been learning to live without a cornerstone of their family.

The brief published notices of Dr John’s death gave no insight into what he had achieved or the life he had led.

Cath John waited many months before writing an obituary when published in The Age on 22 December last, under the headline “From city to outback, gifted GP and his family ‘lived the dream’”.

Cath John traced the life of her husband from his upbringing in Ringwood and providing insights into the man that patients trusted.

He had been a head prefect at school and appeared in school theatre productions as well as being an expert with the yo yo.

After graduating from Melbourne University he worked at Preston and Northcote Community Hospital then did a year of obstetrics and gynaecol-

ogy at The Royal Women’s Hospital before heading to Warrnambool for seven years as a GP, where he delivered about 50 babies a year.

During his four years in Alice Springs Dr John took to the desert to practice playing the trumpet before joining the town band. His musical interest continued after moving back to Victoria and he became first trumpet for the Mornington band.

He was also a keen golfer, playing with friends at Flinders on an eventual handicap of five. He liked cycling, a method of transport he sometimes used to go to the Mt Martha clinic, although he also liked to point out that living close to the beach also meant he could swim to work.

Dr John’s interest and activities were many: tennis, swimming, and a “tortured” fan of Richmond Football Club. His taste in art ranged from Goya and Giacometti to ancient Abo-

riginal rock art.

To list and categorise his interests seems too limiting. Cath John says her husband “was a lover of, and curious about, almost everything. “He validated gentleness, humour, curiosity and was multi-talented. His greatest talent was his kindness.”

A couple of months before his diagnosis (which came after a week of headaches) Cath and Richard made a “pilgrimage” to Wales, home to Richard’s forebears. “He had a beautiful deep voice and would sing blues and jazz in the car with his daughters – and serenade the occasional patient,” Cath wrote in her obituary.

The couple loved dancing and was “usually the first two seen on the dance floor”.

Cath John is learning to live without her husband, who she met when they were students and started dating when she was 21 and he 19. They married

in their late 20s. She is preparing an art exhibition to raise money for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership and education.

It is a cause the Johns have previously supported and Cath hopes to hold an exhibition to support it each of the next 10 years.

Cath, who sees herself primarily as an artist, has held exhibitions in several galleries, including Sydney’s National Trust Gallery.

Richard was a great fan of his wife’s art and features as the subject in several of her works as well being a collaborator in the production of some others.

While Richard John was a doctor in Alice Springs, Cath taught art and craft at secondary schools and art at Aboriginal women’s centres.

“Working there had a big effect on our lives,” she says.

Alice Springs was also where the Johns first met the wife of Ian Gawler, a former vet who pioneered cancer treatments after surviving the disease himself and establishing the centre in Victoria where Richard John, years later, would eventually seek a cure.

The standing room only funeral for Richard John on 22 April 2015 was the first major event held in the then recently completed Mt Martha Lifesaving Club.

And now his legacy will live on through the art of Cath John, who’s exhibition will run 2-10 April at 41 Kilburn Grove, Mt Martha. Details: 0418 123 633. * The author and his family were patients of Dr Richard John.

Group singing is a (social) capital idea “Singing in groups is one of the most popular arts activities in Victoria. There is growing evidence that it facilitates the development of social capital which positively impacts on physical and psychological wellbeing at individual, relational and community levels.� - VicHealth APART from the above, the best reason to sing is for the pure joy of singing itself.

Singing is its own reward. Making music with our voice is a gift that can’t be compared with anything else.

Sharing it with others enhances that experience.

Anyone living on the Mornington Peninsula can join in the fun following the announcement by the national director and founder of Sing Australia, Colin Slater, that a Sing Australia group will begin in Dromana.

He has previously established 140 groups across the nation with more than 5000 participants. These are not professional singers. They are apparently just like me – people who simply enjoy singing and would like to sing again without judgement from others.

I have been fortunate enough to meet with Slater and was struck by his enthusiasm and passion about singing, the people he has met through singing over the past 20 years and his com-

mitment and drive in promoting the benefits to individuals from participating in singing groups.

When asked about the concept of Sing Australia Slater said: “It is to make singing accessible to everyone who would like to sing. There are no auditions and no expectations on ability.�

I joined a Monday night group and the repertoire of songs included all genres of music - rock, pop, classic, country, jazz and musicals. I was made to feel welcome and just mimed when I couldn’t reach a high note. It was fun.

There is a bit of a natural born singer in each of us. Singing is part of the human condition. Don’t let anyone convince you that you don’t have a “good voice.� You were born to sing.

In an age where family and friends no longer sing around a piano as they did decades ago, when the last time you sang in a group may well have been an end-of-year school concert perhaps the time has come to step out and reassess the value of music, and in particular singing, in your life. I tried and the rewards are brilliant.

Five Rye teams bowl up to finals RYE Bowls Club has had another successful Pennant season with five of its six sides making the finals series of Saturday Pennant and the sixth one just missing out by finishing fifth.

The fours and the fives went down in the semi and elimination finals leaving the ones, twos and threes to bring home the bacon in the grand final.

So on Saturday 12 March, the third division defeated West Rosebud with a margin of 10 shots, at Rosebud Country Club Bowls Club and the second division was too good for Village Glen Bowls Club at West Rosebud by a margin of 34 shots.

Much celebrating went into the night and talk of doing it all again next year.

But that’s not all, the first division played their grand final on Sunday 13 March at Rosebud Country Club, defeating Rosebud by 31 shots and have made it two years in a row following last year’s historic win - the first time in 56 years.

The firsts and seconds of Rye’s Tuesday Pennant teams made the finals while the thirds came in fifth on the ladder.

Unfortunately, these two sides went down to Balnarring in the preliminary and semi-finals. Never mind, look out next year.

Dream sites for trainspotters AN irregular-shaped block of surplus railway land at Somerville is proposed to be sold for housing.

For train aficionados this would represent a much sought-after opportunity to get close to passenger and freight services.

Residents could look forward to unparalleled growth in container movements, based on the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s dream to help create a massive port at Hastings, with kilometre-long freight trains running day and night.

The proposal, discussed at council on 15 March, comes from VicTrack, a state-owned business enterprise run by an independent board.

It plays a pivotal role supporting the state government to provide improved public transport outcomes “without relying on government funding�, according to its website.

The 1.1-hectare roughly triangular lot is part of the Somerville station land to be rezoned from Public Use to General Residential – medium density – of no more than 34 dwellings, four of which would be provided for affordable housing.

However, permit conditions placed on the land would detract substantially from a railway buff’s noisy enjoyment of their property – such measures as “a high quality boundary fence (in terms of materials, colours, height, acoustic protection and appearance) along the western boundary� are envisaged.

This might require the householder to build an additional storey, with ob-

Trackside: An artist’s sketch showing the land VicTrack wants to sell for housing at Somerville.

servation deck, to overlook the acoustic fence and retain their railway view.

Appropriately, the land will be dealt with under “a new fast-track planning scheme amendment process specifically put in place for the sale of state government land�, councillors were told.

VicTrack had retained sufficient land for possible duplication and electrification of the rail line, staff said.

Questioned by councillors, strategic projects and planning team leader Frank Mangan undertook to ask the government why the surplus land was

“in that particular shape�.

Councillors also voted to seek further information about VicTrack’s justification for selling the land and for council to substitute development requirements with a shire-initiated alternative document.

They also specified that the item return to council within 60 days – after discussion that the government might require 90 days to respond to the shire’s questions, based on past shire experience with Spring St. David Harrison

Charity walk THE fourth Seaswell Peninsula Charity Walk on Sunday 1 May is designed to unite the community and raise money and awareness for a common cause.

In 2013 $14,000 was raised for the National Breast Cancer Foundation with 250 walkers; in 2014 $55,000 was raised for Cure Brain Cancer with 400 walkers and last year 367 walkers raised $28,000 for Headspace.

Money from this year’s walk will go to Rosebud Hospital which needs eight “low low beds” and “fall out” mats – enough for an entire ward.

This equipment will help reduce the risk of injuries from falls from bed by frail and elderly patients.

Organised by a small group of “dedicated mums”, the walk has attracted 350 - 450 participants and their families.

The coastal walk the Cape Schanck lighthouse to the Blairgowrie shops has optional distances of 20 or 10 kilometres.

LETTERS Ban Esplanade bikes I think it’s time that common sense was applied to the situation on the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach.

VicRoads should immediately move to ban cyclists from this stretch of road.

There are no-passing lines right along this scenic drive and every weekend it is busy with motorists and cyclists.

Motorists are unable to pass cyclists without breaking the law and exposing themselves to the chance of a collision with oncoming vehicles.

Cyclists on the other hand continually hold up faster traffic causing frustration and danger to themselves.

There are bike lanes along the Nepean Highway so cyclists are well looked after if they care to travel a safer route.

I would also like to see cyclists support the millions being spent on accommodating them on our roads with a registration fee and a licence plate to allow some of their number to be reported to the police and fined for their behaviour.

Ken Anderson, Mt Martha

Ban a help for boats I was surprised to read that Cr Hugh Fraser now wants municipalities around Port Phillip to ban jet-skis.

I would like to remind people that it was Nepean ward Councillors Fraser and Tim Rodgers who proposed and seconded the 2013 Rye Boating Precinct Plan that recommended that two extra ramps be built specifically for jet-skis in Rye, plus a fourth boat ramp, without the plan providing any statistics that they were necessary.

The council then voted unanimously to accept the plan.

This was despite strong representations made

by Rye community and business groups against it, because they believed it was poorly thought through and amendments suggested by the community were totally ignored. I was told “not to worry, it was only a strategic plan and there would be opportunity for more community consultations in the next stage”.

Roll forward another couple of years, and we now have another consultant’s report, the 2015 Draft Rye Foreshore Master Plan. Fortunately, the jet-ski specific boat ramps do not appear in this report, however a fourth boat ramp does, despite the council’s own huge 2014 Mornington Peninsula Boating Ramp Demand and Capacity Study stating that there are more important boat ramps on the peninsula that need upgrading or extending before Rye. An online survey conducted in March by Rye Community Group Alliance also found that only 10 per cent of the 258 respondents listed the extra boat ramp as their highest priority for implementation.

In summer, there are days when there are more jet-skis using the Rye boat ramp than fishing boats, so if Cr Fraser is successful in having them banned, the construction of a fourth ramp at a cost of $1.5 million would be a disgraceful waste of money.

David Trunfull, Rye

ronment, especially reef systems, announced this week that coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef has reached a very dangerous level.

Our award winning Minister for the Environment, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, has at last been forced to admit the bleaching is at a perilous situation. Further danger to the reef’s health will be caused through rising sea temperatures.

Mr Hunt should show further courage by putting in place steps to prevent climate change causing further increases in sea temperatures and the destruction of our most valuable reef.

His actions in permitting dredging at Abbott Point and other wharves must cease if he is sincere in his concern for the reef and climate change.

We know that the burning of black coal also adds to the CO2 levels in the atmosphere and rising sea temperatures. It would be logical to rescind the Adani Carmichael Mine agreement and those of all other coal mines.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Newsletter ‘facts’

Help refugees

I subscribe to several newsletters from politicians in Canberra and it is interesting to note that they all, without exception, talk about what they are doing in parliament and what they are trying to achieve on a national level.

Unfortunately, Flinders MP Greg Hunt never talks about what he is dong in parliament. His glossy propaganda four-colour four page brochure almost never mentions anything except what he is doing locally, his walks, his visits, his gladhanding for the next election which he makes look like he is doing something.

But then we must keep in mind that he would have to talk about the great things he is doing to support the coal industry, which is going broke creating a loss of jobs; his non-investment in jobs of the future (renewable energy); and his support of environmental disaster, if he talked about his actions in parliament.

The continuing plight of refugee Mohammad Rashid, who is languishing in Cambodia, is a travesty and a blot on Australia’s lack of humanity.

What are we doing giving $55 million to Cambodia, one of the most corrupt countries in the world, to resettle one refugee who should be now living his life and contributing to the Australian community?

What an indictment on Australia. We should be treating refugees with humanity instead of the vindictive, nasty policies we have in place endorsed by both the Coalition government and the Australian Labor Party.

There will be in the not too distant future a prime minister who will, I hope, apologise for the cruelty and mistreatment we have inflicted on refugees.

I urge readers to contact their local MPs and demand all detention centres be closed immediately and use the billions of dollars to resettle our refugees, who I am sure will make a great contribution to the diversity of Australia.

Over-development It is breathtaking how money seems to have no taste or conscience. When one reads the proposed development plan application by a developer for an approximately quarter acre site in Balnarring, it becomes apparent that the developer asks to be able to put two offices and 15 flats on a site one would normally expect one house or, at most, a dual development.

This extraordinary proposal may be OK as an inner city development, but to me is utterly out of place in a coastal village on our peninsula.

If council would be granting this proposal, it would fly in the face of its proposed development of a fresh coastal villages overlay and plan.

Most of the arguments in the proponents’ application are so far-fetched as to be a joke. It basically asks to build over the whole site almost from fence to fence two stories high.

The problem with these submissions to council is that they fly under the radar of ordinary citizen as they don’t seem to need advertising. By the time the community finds out about these aberrations council may have made a decision.

These proposals need to be made public, not only a few neighbours.

I hope our councillor, Tim Wood, will work for the Balnarring community and strenuously oppose this travesty. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Climate ‘invention’ Climate change theories are just that: theories.

Similar to the “big bang” theory (and consequent “string” theory because the first theory didn’t work and the second theory doesn’t work either).

Climate change is happening like it always has and the theory that human carbon products are the cause is similarly a very dubious theory invented, I think, for money.

Nobody will discuss an alternative, much more likely and sensible theory which is that our climate is very obviously caused by the sun and the output of the sun is not constant but varies, causing our climate to vary, which, according to geological and archeological and historical records, is what has happened, from Biblical

times, to Roman empire times, through the Dark Ages to recent history.

Why, we even had a 13-year drought in Victoria which experts predicted was going to be permanent, so we built a giant desalination plant. Then the drought broke.

The plant cost $19 billion which we are paying off at $1.8 million a day for 28 years.

Consider your water bill. Wind turbines cost one to two million dollars each.

Extra carbon in the air is probably the consequence of earth warming and not the cause.

Extra carbon is highly beneficial to plants and will increase crop yields.

Cash returned Many thanks to the kind people who picked up the cash I dropped on my way to the bank in Mornington on Tuesday morning, 22 March.

Also to the tradesman who alerted these people to my identity and chased me up to tell me of my loss.

I’m sorry I did not get your names to allow me a more personal thank you.

Graeme Dent, Mornington.

Somers thanks After so much unrest in Somers due to unwanted footpaths, it is very gratifying to find we have had excellent retarring of our roads, also cutting back of mahogany gums over the power lines, all done by very courteous workmen and workwoman.

Therefore, I wish to express my gratitude to them for causing so little disturbance and for cleaning up after the job.

Artist’s internationally recognised borders ENGRAVER Perry Fletcher found his niche in the art world after completing a five-month tour of Vietnam during his two years as a national service conscript, or Nasho.

Now living in Mt Martha, Fletcher says he was in need of rest and inspiration after those two years of army life and went to Europe.

While touring the galleries and studying art he realised there was no shortage of good painters but saw few exhibited engravings “and none of any significant size”.

Returning to Australia in 1970 he moved into a one-room flat in Hawthorn and bought five feet by two feet piece of brass.

Six years later The Last Supper and Borders was complete, bringing praise and elevating Fletcher’s name to that of the forefront of the art world.

Hailed a masterpiece, The Last Supper and Borders is seen as possibly being the largest engraving completed on a single piece of brass in modern times.

Fletcher Perry self portrait

Its completion led to Fletcher being written about internationally and his work being shown in Queens Hall, Parliament House, Melbourne and St Vincent’s Hospital.

Fletcher used a dentist’s drill to accomplish

the engraving which took more than 3000 hours to etch out the 370 figures, 500 scrolls and 30,000 dots.

He worked early mornings and late nights between his day job as an engraver.

Also known as Fletcher the etcher, he still uses a dentist’s drill on a variety of mediums for his art: glass, goose eggs, wax seals and brass as well as trophies for the Australian Open, the Olympic Committee, Vermont football club, Bonville Golf Resort and Collingwood Football Club.

Fletcher is also a painter (landscapes, seascapes, animals, waves) and a poet.

He has “interpreted” Van Gogh and Monet and other impressionist masters.

Perry Fletcher’s exhibition at Oak Hill Gallery, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington, 1-31 May, 70 – A Journey So Far, shows the diversity of his work. Call 5973 4299.

More detail needed on sky rail Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au CONSULTATION about options to separate road from rail at level crossings along the Frankston line has begun with a series of drop-in sessions held in suburbs along the rail line this month from Cheltenham to Frankston.

Staff from the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA), including engineers, were on hand to begin the process of talking to affected communities about possible design plans to remove level crossings including concern about the visual and noise impact of elevated rail along parts of the Frankston line.

Opponents of elevated rail, dubbed sky rail, were unimpressed with the lack of detail on offer at these initial community consultation sessions.

No Sky Rail: Frankston Line group spokesman Willem Popp said the LXRA

sessions were “warm and fuzzy” without answers being available.

“It was designed to keep us happy but not give any answers,” he said.

“They were biased towards sky rail in all the material on display. It was all very much anti-underground solution and pro-sky rail solution.”

Visitors to the LXRA consultation sessions could leave post-it notes on maps showing where level crossings will be removed.

“The comments left on the post-it notes on the maps and the signs were overwhelmingly against sky rail in way, shape or form.”

The Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum group, a community group that speaks to politicians and council about local issues, is also worried about the impact of elevated rail on suburbs along the Frankston line.

Group spokesman Cameron Howe at-

tended consultation sessions and said a lack of answers about engineering logistics at this stage is baffling.

“The consultation process is not transparent and it appears that the authority is making changes on the fly which is of concern as it will impact the end result and ultimately the lives of many people,” he said.

LXRA project director Adam Maguire said there had been “a great response” to the first round of community consultation sessions with more than 1500 people making the effort to go along to speak with staff about level crossing removals.

“There will be two further opportunities in 2016 for the community to provide feedback, the first in mid-year when the feasible design options are presented, and the second at the end of the year on recommended designs,” Mr Maguire said.

Rockin’ at Rosebud

Feedback on level crossings removal plans can be left online via a Social Pinpoint tool on the LXRA website targeting comments at specific locations along the Frankston line.

The authority will release options for level crossings removals in mid-year so it will become clear whether sky rail is an option for the Frankston line at that point.

A final “recommended option” for the Labor state government to consider will be announced by the LXRA at the end of this year.

This project is expected to go to tender in 2017 and construction will begin in 2018.

“The LXRA can dress this up any way it wants and the government can choose the solution it wants but it will be at its own peril,” Mr Popp said.

“The community is dead against sky rail.”

Political points scoring over rate capping POLITICAL barbs continue to be exchanged over the Labor state government’s rate capping policy, dubbed the Fair Go Rates system by the government, for councils across Victoria.

Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins announced last week that the Essential Services Commission will publish its annual rate cap recommendation, based on the cost of inflation, each year.

The ESC recommended councils should not increase rates by any more than 2.8 per cent for the 2016-17 financial year, based on the Consumer Price

Index and Wage Price Index.

Ms Hutchins decided rate rises should be limited to 2.5 per cent based on CPI. The Minister says the launch of the Know Your Council website last year benchmarking individual councils against similar-sized councils across categories such as rates cost, missed rubbish bin collections and customer service satisfaction levels, is another way the government is making local government more transparent.

“Local communities should have all the facts, so I’m more than happy for the ESC to publish its recommendations on

rate capping,” Ms Hutchins said. “By introducing the Fair Go Rates system, the Andrews Labor government is delivering on its commitment to cap council rate rises and protect Victorian households from uncontrolled hikes.”

Shadow spokesman for Local Government David Davis accused the state government of being less than transparent when it comes to how Ms Hutchins determines rate rise caps. The Liberal MP noted the ESC refused to table advice in Parliament to Ms Hutchins about how it determines an annual rate rise cap figure.

“The truth is that Minister Hutchins’

cap figure is entirely arbitrary. It bears no resemblance to actual inflation, which increased by only 1.1 per cent in the last full financial year,” Mr Davis said. “Nor does it give any concession for wage price costs, something councils, and the ESC itself recommended be taken into consideration.

“While the state government has sought to cap council rates it has simultaneously been cutting state government financial support for local councils and, in breach of Premier Andrews’ election promises, jacking up state government taxes like the fire services levy.”

Family life for Gunnamatta Three-time Mornington Cup winner, Gunnamatta, might have retired from racing 11 years ago, but he still gets recognised wherever he goes, according to owner, John Duignan.

The 19-year-old gelding was acquired by Duignan after he was doing some work for then owner, Johnathon Munz.

“I was looking for a trail riding horse so I could go riding with my daughter, Kate, who has always been heavily into riding.”

Duignan was offered Gunnamatta, whose real name is Henry, and brought him home to the family’s 25 acre Moorooduc property where he immediately befriended mini shetland pony, Miss Vicki.

“As soon as we got him back here he and Miss Vicki became instant friends. Now he follows her everywhere and just will not let her out of his sight,” says Duignan with a laugh.

“When he first got him I was riding him a lot but now Kate rides him mostly. He definitely has a strong will and would break down the fence if we separated him from Miss Vicki.”

For Duignan, his wife and three children, Henry has become more like a family pet.

“He eats hay and grass, snuggles up with his girlfriend Miss Vicki,

and enjoys the huge paddock we have him in,” says Duignan.

Gunnamatta, or Henry as the family call him, was the only three time winner of the Mornington Cup, and boasts a Warnambool Cup win (2003), and placings in the Easter Cup, Victoria Gold Cup and the Seymour Cup for local trainer, Tony Noonan.

“It’s amazing to me how many people recognize him. We often have people who come up and say ‘Is that Henry?’ when they see him in the end paddock. Even the dentist who came to treat him said he recognised who he was,” says Duignan.

Winning $150,000 in his third Mornington Cup placed the gelding in the records of racing history for the Tony Noonan trained horse, who had by then earned more than $500,000 in stakes with eight wins and 12 placings from 48 starts.

These days the beloved family pet’s life is a far cry from those racing days, which is just how it should be for the retired race horse.

“He is headstrong but has a very good nature. He loves to be patted and is the perfect horse for trail riding. We will be taking him out on many more rides in the future,” says Duignan.

What you need to know to fake it at the Mornington BMW Cup Heading to the Peninsula’s biggest day of racing this year but don’t know the front of a horse from the back of it? Don’t worry, there are a few simple things you can read up on so you can fake it til you make it at the Mornington BMW Cup. What actually is the Mornington BMW Cup? The Mornington BMW Cup is a 2400m horse race run every year in mid-Autumn at Mornington Racecourse. It is one of the richest country races in Victoria and there is no age restriction on the horses that can race in it. It is a handicap which means that each horse is assessed on its previous races and earnings and then given a weight that the jockey must be to help level the playing field. The winner of the Mornington BMW Cup qualifies for the BMW Caulfield Cup in October and is exempt from the ballot which means if it wants to run in the Caulfield Cup, it can – no string attached.

So who will win it this year?

Lee Freedman’s Tom Melbourne is the red hot favourite to win the Mornington BMW Cup after a fantastic (albeit slightly uncoordinated) win in the Albury Cup in March.

What do I wear?

While you can definitely tone it down from your normal Spring Carnival outfit, there will still be many fashionistas dressing up for this day. As it’s the ‘Relaxed Racing’ period, stylist Lana Wilkinson recommends swapping your hat for a headband and the stilettos for the wedges. Jumpsuits

Hash tags: #MorningtonCup #MorningtonRacecourse BAYSIDE SHOPPING CENTRE FASHIONS ON THE FIELD Showcasing the best of racing fashion.

and maxis are also encouraged.

For the gentleman, you may remove the jackets and ties. Boat shoes or loafers and a cheeky pocket square make a good touch.

What do you do all day at the races?

For those who couldn’t care more about fascinators than furlongs, the races have become a social and entertainment event. The day is all about good food, good cocktails and relaxing with friends on the Dilmah Summer Lawn. At this year’s Mornington BMW Cup Day, there will be marquees, dining, a MRC Young Members event presented by Peroni, a local band playing and kids activities to keep the little ones happy.

What do the different types of bets mean?

Win: a win, or putting money ‘on the nose’ means you are betting that the horse comes first.

Place: a place bet means you are betting the horse comes first, second or third and will win money for any of these. Because you’re hedging your bets, the odds for a ‘place’ bet aren’t

as good as for a ‘win’ bet.

Each way: an each way bet is like putting on two bets at once - both a win bet and a place bet, therefore it costs double. For example, if you put $5 on a horse each way it will cost you $10 but you will receive money back at the ‘win’ odds and also at the ‘place’ odds.

Trifecta: a trifecta is where you pick horses to come first, second and third. You can do a ‘box trifecta’ where the horses can come in any order. You can also select more than three horses if you like but at least three of them must finish in the top three.

Quinella: like a trifecta, a quinella is where you correctly pick the first two horses to cross the finish line. You can also select more than two horses to ‘box’ and come in any order.

Quaddie: the quaddie runs across the last four races of the day where you must pick the winners of each of those races. You can pick as many horses as you like in each ‘leg’ but the more horses you choose, the less money you’ll win.

Live local, give local. Health professionals rattle on race day The Bays Hospital Theatre Nurses, Senior Nursing Team, Executive and Administration staff and members of the Rotary Club of Mornington are volunteering their time to seek donations from the community at the Mornington BMW Cup Day. The Bays is asking patrons to dig deep for the tin rattle to support the work of The Bays Hospital.

“Donations of all sizes help The Bays provide the best care to patients every day and keep us at the forefront of medical innovation” said Dawn Havis, Deputy Director of Nursing.

“Community support makes a positive impact on countless lives by supporting healthcare projects that benefit people of all ages, from tiny babies to the elderly”.

The Bays are proud to be the official charity of the Mornington BMW Cup Day in 2016. The two

community-owned organisations have enjoyed a partnership that has spanned decades, from the 1930s when the Mornington Racing Club purchased the grand double doors for the original Mornington Bush Nursing hospital entrance.

The Bays Healthcare Group was formed in 1997 by amalgamating the two bush nursing hospitals at Mornington and Hastings. Today, The Bays maintains a proud tradition of meeting the healthcare needs of the Mornington Peninsula community for nearly 80 years. The Bays is a not for profit facility owned by the local community and is a registered charity.

The Bays provides more than 13,000 patient admissions per year across a wide range of clinical specialties. This includes medical, surgical and maternity services. The 98 beds at The Bays Hospital are complemented by a range of other facilities including consulting rooms, operating

theatres and diagnostic services.

The Bays will also be showcasing their new Minor Trauma Service to racegoers, which offers streamlined assessment and treatment of fractures, sprains, strains and lacerations at The Bays Hospital.

The Minor Trauma Service is designed to provide prompt access to orthopaedic and plastic specialists, providing accessible and affordable specialist care often requested by residents and sporting clubs.

The Minor Trauma Service Nurse is available to assess and treat suitable patients at The Bays Hospital on Saturdays, between 11am-6pm and weekdays by appointment. The service is available with or without referral from a General Practitioner.

The upfront cost for initial consultation is $120,

of which some will be refunded by Medicare.

This consultation will include a comprehensive assessment, liaison with a specialist, referral for diagnostic imaging if required and treatment carried out by the Nurse Practitioner including suturing, plaster casting or dressing.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Soldier thrives after heart surgery Compiled by Melissa Walsh SURGICAL circles in Great Britain unstintedly attribute to Major Scot Skirving, of Sydney, the performance of a remarkable and successful operation at Millbank Military Hospital.

The Major extracted a bullet from the heart of Private Houlder. Houlder was told he might live for two months, but he preferred to accept the surgeon’s offer to perform an operation, although he was told he had only a “100 to 1” chance.

He said goodbye to his comrades in the ward cheerfully, and the operation was performed. Houlder survived, and he is progressing satisfactorily. *** MR W. J. Oates was sworn in as a Justice of the Peace before Mr Justice Hodges on Wednesday last. *** DR Griffiths, of Somerville, notifies that he has again returned from active service, and has resumed practice at his residence. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when a good yarding of cattle, pigs and sundries is booked for sale. *** THE tin of tea raffled by Mrs G.Shepherd on Show Day, for the Y.M.C.A.. was won by Mrs Frank Jackson, of Somerville, 54 being the lucky number.

*** LANCE-Corporal Verney, who claims to be the first recruit who enlisted from Frankston, after serving some eighteen months at the front, has returned invalided, and is now enjoying a well-earned rest with his family. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Flower Show to be held on 3rd November, in aid of the patriotic funds was held on Thursday evening when the schedule was finally revised, and it was decided that the same be printed and circulated without delay. *** A LARGELY signed petition was presented at Flinders shire council on Saturday protesting against the employment of or the giving of contracts to men eligible for service at the front.

Cr Shand moved- “That only urgent and necessary maintenance work be proceeded with until the war is over.”

Cr Macfarlan moved that no single eligible men be directly employed by the council during the currency of the war. Both resolutions were carried. *** BUILDING blocks on “ The Island,” Frankston, seem to be gaining in favor with those anxious to secure a home at a seaside resort, and a number have changed hands of late. The property known as “Quamby” has been purchased by Mr. Moulton, and Mr Onions has bought a block from Mrs Spencer.

Mr Bray has also disposed of 100

feet frontage to Mr Bendixon, (who intends shortly to build), and 180 feet to Mr Logan, of the Defence department. *** MR A. M. Laughton, Government Statist, has issued a return showing the actual area and yield of wheat in Victoria for the seasons 1914-15 and 1915-16 respectively. It shows that the area sown last year was 3,679,971 acres, as against 2,863,535 the previous year, which produced 58 521,706 bushels in 1915-16 and 3,940 947 in 1914 15, giving an average of 15.19 bushels per acre for last year as against 1.38 bushels the previous year. The requirements for seed and consumption in 1916 are established at about 10,000,000 bushels. *** DURING the past week there has been a drop in the recruiting figures, and the returns for this week are not likely to be up to the number required in order that the full quota may be sent from Victoria. The danger lies in the shortage coming just when the reinforcements are most needed.

More than twice the number of men are required to make good the wastage and to meet rapidly and surely the call when it comes, as it must soon, for fighting men, trained to the highest pitch of efficiency, in order to maintain the army at its full strength. *** SENATOR Pearce holds that people should not be permitted to invest capi-

tal in picture shows while industries languish for want of money. *** WE understand that active steps are being taken to make a public presentation to those volunteers of the Frankston district, who have recently enlisted.

There are nearly 30 names of men drawn from the immediate neighbourhood of Frankston, and the presentation will be the fifth of the series. *** AN accident befell Mr Jas Whiteman, of Carrum, while returning to his home, on Saturday evening, after attending Messrs Adamson Strettle & Co’s monthly horse sale at Dandenong. Mr Whiteman, who experienced difficulty in getting several horses (which he had purchased) along the road, decided to ride one of them but, unfortunately, the animal threw him on the roadway and he sustained a broken leg, near the ankle. He was conveyed to Miss Ahern’s private hospital, in Thomas street, for medical attention. *** THE condition of Mr. Hughes, who is suffering from a severe attack of influenza, is improving. He had a much better night on Monday, and slept fairly well. On Tuesday afternoon the doctors made an examination and found that his temperature was 100.2.

It is now clearly a case of influenza, but the doctors consider that in view of his not too robust health it would

be unwise for him to risk leaving his room too soon. Moreover, the weather is extremely trying. There was snow on Monday night, and bitterly cold rain on Tuesday. March has not been so cold for years. Therefore it is probable that after a week or ten days he will take a rest in the country. His condition generally is not regarded as serious. *** FOR some time past there has been a shortage of labor at the State coal mine, especially as regards wheelers.

This is due principally to the fact that a large number of young men have enlisted, and in order to fill their places probationary miners have been taken off coal and employed at the work.

During the week a large number of men who state that they have been engaged in Ballarat and Bendigo and have had to undergo medical examination in those places, have been put on to work at coal getting at the mine.

The miners who were doing wheeling work naturally thought they should have received the first preference for coal getting, and complained to the federation, the executive officers of which interviewed Mr Broome on the matter.

As a result many of the old hands will be put on coal, and their places will be filled by new arrivals. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 April, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Why Kanye West would be a better president than Donald Trump

By Stuart McCullough MAYBE it was just something he said.

And, to be fair, he says a lot of things.

Given the volume, it’s inevitable that some promises will fall by the wayside. At the time the fateful words were uttered, he probably meant it was something he’d get around to in the distant future, never dreaming that the conditions would conspire such that his time might, in fact, be right now.

Granted, he’s got a new album to support and a young family, but he needs to look at the bigger picture. Having said he wants to be President the simple fact is this: Kanye West – your country needs you.

I know little about American politics. And what I do know I learned from repeated viewings of House of Cards as opposed to any (for want of a better term) actual study. Interest in this year’s primary season has been especially heightened, and not just because some of us have to fill a The West Wing-shaped void in our souls. Once, the idea that Kanye could be President was on par with suggesting that either Hootie or the Blowfish ought to be Secretary of State. But things have changed. I doubt Kanye West is a Republican, but it appears now that not being a Republican is no longer the impediment to being the Republican nominee it used to be.

I don’t pretend to understand the Donald Trump phenomenon. To the untrained observer he seems brash, rude and (frankly speaking) kind of stupid. Worst of all, these are the key elements of his appeal. Having studied the method behind the madness from afar, I’m convinced that Kanye can not only match ‘The Donald’ but comprehensively beat him. There’s no

PAGE 44

Source: welovekanyewest.tumblr.com point pitting a guy like Donald Trump against career politicians. Not being a career politician is central to his pitch.

To beat ‘The Donald’, you need someone who’s even more of a maverick than he is.

Southern Peninsula News 29 March 2016

As best as I can tell, insults are a key element of Donald Trump’s election platform. In simple terms, he’s not afraid to ‘go there’, unless, of course, that place is Mexico. So far, he’s managed to insult just about eve-

ryone. To see other candidates largely constrained by convention is a bit like watching someone turn up to a gunfight with a slingshot. Kanye, however, would not be cowed. In fact, there’s a great tradition of insulting others in rap music. Donald Trump wouldn’t know what’d hit him, as Presidential aspirant West unloads a torrent of killer rhymes. Trump might be capable of flinging mud much like an orangutan does it’s own filth, but compared to Kanye, he’s a total amateur. If you don’t believe me, look at Twitter. It’s a scientific fact that Trump’s tweets look bland when you compare them to Kanye’s.

A key part of Donald Trump’s appeal involves talking about how awesome Donald Trump is. In an ideal world, effusive praise of this nature would come from other people. However, if other people aren’t willing to step up to the plate, then you’ve no choice but to do it yourself. If we were to be extremely generous, we might describe such blatant acts of selfaggrandisement as simply refusing to hide his light under a bushel. It might also be described as boasting. Having been left to blow his own trumpet in a way that would shame Miles Davis, Donald Trump deploys techniques to persuade the casual observer that such praise is coming from other people by frequently referring to himself in the third person.

Once again Kanye has him beat.

Just like Donald Trump, rap music requires that you project an image of success. And of all the rappers who ever drew breath, Kanye is especially adept and pointing out precisely how fantastic he is. Donald Trump might brag about his business acumen, but

he never wrote a song called ‘I Am A God’. In fact, if Kanye were here he would be quick to point out that he was only laying claim to being ‘a’ god rather than ‘the’ god and that this was a substantial act of restraint.

Kanye West is a better businessman.

Consider the evidence: Donald Trump has alienated millions of potential voters. Kanye, on the other hand, understands that these are all people who might either vote for him or, if not, at least buy his album. Kanye West might say outlandish stuff, but it’s generally for publicity and he’s never threatened to build a wall that would drive Pink Floyd to the brink of despair.

I realise that Kanye is yet to throw his (no doubt) very stylish hat into the ring. But it’s not too late. In the event of a contested convention, a new contender could emerge. This is when Kanye should make his move. Rather than a fanfare, there’ll be the sound of a drum machine as Kanye emerges from the crowd. Trump might be expecting a battle for the nomination, but he’s ill prepared for a microphone fight.

I, for one, am genuinely looking forward to a Kanye West presidency.

In particular, I await the moment in which the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize is knocked off the stage by an ebullient President West as he declares that the award really ought to have gone to Beyonce. But the best reason to look forward to Kanye West is simple and it’s this: he’s not Donald Trump. And, as a gesture that would completely unify the nation if not the entire planet, Taylor Swift for VP. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Pines give Seaford a thrashing PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES made a big statement on Easter Saturday that it is ready to take another step in Peninsula Division after dishing out an old fashioned hiding to old foe Seaford.

The Pines bookends were extremely impressive, booting six goals to one in the opening quarter and six goals to two in the last to run out 69 point winners, 18.15 (123) to 7.12 (54).

Aaron Edwards was the star of the competition last season and he started 2016 in even better fashion than where he left off.

Edwards booted five goals in a blistering opening term before finishing with seven for the match. He played as much through the middle as he did in attack.

Tim Bongetti booted six goals in the second half while Paul Scanlon was a bull through the middle.

Together with Luke Potts, Scanlon was on ball for the entire second half due to a lack of rotations through injury.

We were all told to hold onto our hats with Paul Scanlon and Tim Bongetti and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint.

Guy Hendry booted three goals also for Pines, highlighting the overall potency of the Pythons up front.

Defensively, Pines stood up again. The back six average no more than 15 games between them but due to the improvement, along with the willingness of the mids and forwards to work back to support, the Pythons are yet to

Picture: Andrew Hurst

concede more than 56 points in four matches (including practice matches). They lost Joel Bruhn with concussion.

The Tigers are starting from a long way back this season with a new coach will only improve.

The list is almost brand new and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take time. There were a lot of new faces in the yellow and black on Saturday.

On Good Friday, Edithvale-Aspendale started its season in wonderful fashion against Bonbeach.

The talk around the Eagles has been doom and gloom in the off season with the likes of Brett Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hanlon, Brad Tagg, Tim Mavris, Jordy Derbyshire and Jarrod Garth all leaving the club.

However, they still have the likes of Tim and Steve Mannix, Mark Mullins, Mick Meehan, Tommy Turner, Jeremy Heys, Zac Muschialli, Todd Woodbridge and Matt Kremmer running around, with a sprinkling of new talent.

It was enough to knock the Sharks over in their first match of the season, 10.11 (71) to 9.8 (62).

Bonbeach led at half time by nine points before the Eagles booted five goals to one in the third to set up the win.

Elliott Macquire from Old Mentonians had an immediate impact on Peninsula Division with a best on ground display while Wonthaggi recruit Chris Wylie booted two goals and was a big unit in attack.

Shane McDonald booted a couple in his return game for the Sharks while Jack Williams and James Murnane were standouts.

Easter football a big winner disappointment between the Frankston Bombers and Pearcedale, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was one to remember.

Fevola, carrying a leg injury, booted six goals playing at full forward for the Bombers in a match that attracted a crowd arguably bigger than the 2015 Peninsula Grand Final between Frankston YCW and Mornington.

The match was a testament to the local football community working together. In this instance, only Frankston Bombers and Pearcedale Football Clubs working together could pull off such an event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they did so with the support of Frankston Dolphins.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

The Bombers heavily catered for the game and prepared brilliantly, however, even they ran out of mainstream beverages before three quarter time.

The Bombers bank-rolled their season on the back of this match and I suspect they came out of it much better than predicted.

Down on the southern peninsula, Rosebud was playing host to Rye. Now, Olympic Park hosts finals matches and has ample parking. However, on Friday, they were parked out in the side streets such was the enormous crowd.

Again, the game was a disappoint-

ment, however, it truly was a celebration of local football.

Thankfully, for the footy purists, the game between Dromana and Sorrento on Easter Saturday was superb. Again, a monster crowd where all food was sold out before half time of the senior match.

Somerville and Tyabb also attracted a bumper crowd given the expectations on the Eagles and the much improved Yabbies.

Peninsula League also got on the Easter gravy train with local derbies between Edithvale and Bonbeach (Good Friday) and Seaford v Pines (Easter Saturday).

The games didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attract the same huge crowds as those in Nepean Division but they were big enough to encourage a continuation of the Easter showdowns.

While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m probably safe in saying that I believe most footy fans would support AFL football on Good Friday, I say we stick together as a footy community and discourage it.

Local footy is the real winner and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we should be supporting.

Well done to all clubs for their forethought and hard work during a holiday period and celebrating local football together.

Tigers stamp their mark on Nepean NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THERE was an emergence of another major player in the MPNFL 2016 Nepean Division on Easter Saturday.

Dromana may have gone through a lean period in the past couple of seasons following their premiership success, however, they announced their return on Saturday against Sorrento at Pier St Oval.

The Tigers’ announcement was more than the 16.6 (102) to 11.11 (77) win – it was the way they went about winning.

You hear coaches say all the time now that it’s “all about systems and processes” and the “results will take care of themselves”.

While some of the Tigers’ systems and processes may have broken down at times on Saturday, generally speaking, new coach Rikki Johnston and his brains trust got it right.

Teams playing on the Friday were excused for being ‘a bit rusty’, given their average showings, however, same couldn’t be said for Dromana and Sorrento.

Sure, neither side was playing at 100%, however, the intensity they came out with at the first bounce was the same intensity they were playing with at the final siren.

Dromana is an excitement machine.

The Tigers’ Under 18’s won the flag last season and they have found some real future stars in Reece Wilde, Dean Waugh and Ethan Johnstone.

Wilde booted four goals for the

match, all of them coming in the last quarter.

Beau Cosson is an excitement machine – he has an enormous tank, plenty of spunk and excitement, can take a grab and loves a goal. He’s going to be a very tough match up for any team.

Michael Gillis and Jay Hutchison are in the best condition they have been in for years and their footy matched their commitment.

Rikki J may have been in a different jumper number but that didn’t concern the Dromana faithful – his surety out of defence and cool head under pressure was a feature. He also spoke extremely well for a new coach, which, to be frank, wasn’t surprising.

The core group in Shaun Clark, Terry Wheeler, Dan Guerts, Beau McMurray and Christian Ongarello were rock solid and new faces in Mitch Gill-Furness and Rory Gregg showed enough to get the natives excited.

Cade Williams was just what they needed through the middle of the ground and Adam Hunter looked comfortable in his first game back for a while – his goal to seal the match brought the house down.

Sorrento went into lock down after the final siren. There’s a bit of work to do for new coach Nick Jewell.

Instilling discipline was always going to be a challenge for Jewell, given the team had pretty much run its own show under Troy Schwarze. Some arguing between players and the coaches box wasn’t a good look when the whips were cracking in the last quarter.

Picture: Andrew Hurst Jewell played some players away from their normal positions. Some embraced it and others found it tough.

There were some big holes created with some of the Sorrento losses – Daniel Grant and Schwarze coming off the half backline and ruckman/key defender Jon Croad taking intercept marks were the most noticeable, while Leigh Poholke is a monstrous loss in attack.

The Sharks have found a real player in Nick Corp, who clunked everything that came his way. The spot for him is further up the ground, working defenders over and dishing off to runners to kick goals.

Scott Lockwood showed a bit but

needs to stay at home one on one and kick goals.

At the 20 minute mark of the last quarter, Sorrento had got within a kick of the Tigers. There’s still plenty to like about this footy team, which has a lot of new faces and will only get better.

Frankston Bombers have recruited extremely well in the off season and it showed on Good Friday with a convincing 16.13 (109) to 5.13 (43) victory over Pearcedale.

With Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton doing the running and former Carlton superstar Brendan Fevola (six goals) standing at full forward, it was always going to be a tough ask for the Panthers.

At half time with both sides kicking with the breeze, the Bombers led by 31 points. That blew out to 50 points by three quarter time.

Cramping was the biggest issue for both sides, who both looked under cooked.

Dale Sutton starred for the Bombers while Jarryd Amalfi provided plenty of run and drive from half back.

Joel White was good for the Panthers across half back and Alex Harnett played with grunt through the middle of the ground.

The takeaway from the match was that Pearcedale are going to struggle again in 2016 while Frankston Bombers will improve and challenge for the top five.

Somerville is the benchmark in 2016.

They were the grand finalists of

2015 and have only improved their list.

On Saturday they beat Tyabb by more than 100 points, 28.16 (184) to 11.6 (72).

Rosebud unfurled its 2015 premiership flag on Friday before the first bounce against Rye – it was the most excitement for the day.

Thankfully both teams finished on 48 points. The draw and the final minutes also brought some excitement.

If the match was an advertisement for local footy (outside of the atmosphere and crowd), you’d be lucky to go to another game again.

The wind played a role in the poor spectacle, however, it was more the extremely poor skill execution that took a stranglehold on the game.

Rye kicked four goals in the first quarter and only three more for the match. Rosebud had 23 scoring shots and 10 more than Rye but booted just five goals. The Buds kicked 1.7 to 1.0 in the final term.

There were a couple of highlights.

Jackson McRae’s game across half back shows he will take the next step this season for the Buds. Nick Boswell is in terrific shape and he made things look easy from half back also with his run and carry.

Rye would have lost had it not been for Adam Kirkwood – he was superb.

Ryan Mullett too is one of the hardest workers in the game. If Rye doesn’t find someone to protect him, he’s not going to see out the season.

Suffice to say there is enormous work to be done for both clubs.
