Rangers experience sharing, caring and love of country A HEART-WARMING documentary film about a group of indigenous Australian rangers who travel to Kenya to share knowledge, culture and music with a tribe of Maasai Community Rangers will premiere on the Mornington Peninsula next week. Ranger to Ranger is being shown at the Merricks General Wine Store, Friday 14 September, in support of the International Ranger Federation. The federation’s charity arm, Thin Green Line, needs funds to ensure that those tasked with defending the world’s wildlife and wild places – the Rangers – are given the support they need. In the case of a ranger losing his or her life in the line of duty, it provides emergency financial support for their families. “The nine rangers are Martu, Kimberley and Jawoyn rangers from Western Australia and the Northern Territory,” the Thin Green Line Foundation’s Dan Box said. “They came together in Perth, never having met before, and joined Dan Sultan, a Gurindji and Eastern Arente man from the Northern Territory, to embark on this unlikely journey to Africa. “They find that, in some ways, they are incredibly different, yet in many ways have a lot in common – especially a deep connection to land and country. “The foundation of this journey is exchange. It’s about sharing experiences and information. It’s about exploring and learning from the differences. And it’s about celebrating those things that are the same.” Doors and pre-film entertainment start at 6:30pm; film: 8:10pm; question-and-answer session: 9:15pm and post-film entertainment: 9:15-10pm. The Q&A session is conducted by head Maasai Ranger Joseph Kotoke and Thin Green Line Foundation’s Sean Willmore. Details: thingreenline.org.au
Naming of Flinders Yacht Club access road THE proposed naming of the Flinders Yacht Club access road to Lacey View is up for public comment. Mornington Peninsula Shire is inviting the community’s thoughts on the naming of the roadway which connects Bass Street, east of the Esplanade, with the main car park in the Flinders foreshore reserve and continues along the unconstructed track to the Flinders Yacht Club. The suggested name honours Ken Lacey, a prominent member of the Flinders community who passed away last year. The proposal came from Flinders Yacht Club and is supported by Bass Park Trust and the Lacey family. The suffix “View” is a roadway commanding a panoramic view across surrounding areas. “The proposed naming would be a fitting commemoration of Mr Lacey and the outstanding community work he undertook during his lifetime,” the mayor Cr Bryan Payne said. Red Hill Ward Cr David Gill said Mr Lacey was involved in many community groups and organisations, specifically in Flinders, for more than 30 years. Submissions on the proposal can be made until 4 September. They can be made online at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ haveyoursay or via email: namingsubmissions@mornpen.vic.gov. au or via post: Attention: Governance Private Bag 1000, Rosebud, 3939. Forms are also available in hard copy at the shire’s offices in Rosebud, Mornington, Hastings and Somerville. The name complies with the Office of Geographic Names rules for places in Victoria – Statutory requirements for naming roads, features and localities 2016.
