ROSEBUD KITE FESTIVAL 2016

SUNDAY 13TH MARCH 2016

Meet Puff and Stuff the Spectacular Red Dragons THIS year’s festival will see not only feature sky kites, but for the first time includes a land kiting demo. The team of internationally acclaimed kite flyers from across mainland Australia and New Zealand will display above the heads of the crowd, their spectacular maxi kites which include sea creatures such as dolphins, whales, sting rays and octopus together with the red winged dragons and floating astronauts. These giant kites are so large they take a string of runner kites and a team of people to get them in the air and some pretty strong cabling attached to a car or two to keep them anchored to the ground. Flying high in the sky, against a backdrop of blue they never fail to impress.

While on the ground, for the first time at Rosebud, you can enjoy a display of kite buggying. This is where

a kite is used to pull the buggy along a park, beach or dry lake. Whilst the limitations of the Rosebud site will restrict the speed of the display, in an open environment speeds of up to 130km have been recorded. Like the airborne kites, these buggies are purely wind powered and the skill is in catching the wind in the kite to maintain the movement.

Undoubtedly there’s something very special about the Rosebud Kite Festival. Offering a free program of quality kite-inspired entertainment, it has become a quirky celebration of Aussie coastal life. With its iconic location on the Rosebud beach, festival goers will look to both the skyline and shoreline for an impressive array of beautiful kites and fun, family activities.

All ages event THIS ‘all ages’ event has grown to include a host of kids workshops, kite craft, carnival rides, food stalls, ‘come and try’ stand up paddle boarding as well as a full program of live entertainment. The Dreaming Space yellow, circus tent will be back with a program of comedy shows and skills workshops throughout the afternoon, plus, and for the brave at heart, Blacksnake Productions with their wildlife and reptile marquee for some ‘touch and feel’ sessions There are plenty of food stalls throughout the site, but bring a rug, or folding chair and be prepared to stay a few hours, as you won’t be able to tear yourself away from all the activity!

Free entry. Parking available on Village Green and along Pt Nepean Road.

Harvest festival returns to Heronswood TWO years since a fire reduced its cafe to rubble, Heronswood wants the gardening world to know it’s business as usual.

Of course that’s the way it has been since the fire, but it seems many people thought the celebrated gardens and historic building had been put out of action.

That was never the case and owners Clive and Penny Blazey are hoping this weekend’s Heronswood Harvest Festival will clear the air once and for all. “Blaze no barrier to celebrations�

Moves to bring sand to Portsea Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CONTRACTORS are about to be appointed to investigate restoring Portsea’s famed front beach to its former, sand-filled glory.

Following years of arguing over the causes of the sand loss, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning in February called for quotes

on the methods and cost of replacing sand and preventing its future erosion.

Background notes provided by the department acknowledge swell waves from Bass Strait as causing Portsea’s sand loss, but does not mention channel deepening in 2008-09, the biggest and most recent change to the Port Phillip seabed.

The Port of Melbourne Corporation denied its two-year $720 million

Coast Escapes Holiday Property Management Mornington Peninsula

dredging project caused the erosion but two state government-commissioned reports – by Water Technologies and the CSIRO – revealed the removal of sand further out in the bay had changed the shape and power of waves hitting the beach.

Reports of abnormally large waves hitting the front beach were first made in late 2008.

The department has narrowed the

remedies for the beach down to six and expects the successful contractor to assess their effectiveness “over a 50 year planning horizon, having a design life of not less than 20 years and not greater than 50 years�.

The six coastal and maritime options to be assessed are: 1. Shaping the seabed with dredging.

2. Building a breakwater seaward of Portsea pier.

Backers say there’s sound basis for new name Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Our own identity: Terry Wright says Capel Sound, the proposed new name for Rosebud West, “respects the things that make us unique”. Picture: Yanni

THOSE backing a push to change the name Rosebud West to Capel Sound are gearing up for a council meeting next month when Mornington Peninsula shire will say yes or no to the proposal.

A response in the positive would then go to planning minister Richard Wynne for his support and, later, gazettal.

Between 5 December and 6 February the shire asked residents, ratepayers and the broader community if they thought changing the name would be good for the future of the area.

The shire was assisted by proponents of the change who distributed two separate flyers to the 3500 houses and businesses in postcode 3940. Their aim was to encourage people to think about the proposed change and tell the council what they thought about it.

At the end of the consultation phase the group made a submission to the council putting its case for the change.

Organiser Terry Wright said it was “now up to council to decide whether or not they support the change and they have advised they will do this at their public meeting on Monday 11 April”.

“The discussion this initiative has inspired across our community has already driven a new appreciation of everything that is special about postcode 3940,” he said. “We hope this momentum isn’t now lost.”

A council report says the township of Rosebud West has about 4700 rateable properties and includes the Tootgarook Wetlands, Rosebud Hospital, Capel Sound Foreshore, Vern Wright Reserve, Truemans Rd Reserve, Seawinds Community Hub, Eastbourne Primary School, Rosebud Kindergarten and the Rose-

bud Industrial Estate.

Rosebud West would not be the first peninsula township to undergo a name change.

Blairgowrie was once known as Sorrento East, McCrae used to be Dromana West, and St Andrews Beach was just a place in the backblocks of Rye. “Those areas have since gone on to claim their own independent identity, and we think it’s time for us to do the same,” Mr Wright said.

“We don’t believe the name Rosebud West either reflects who we are or helps us in any way. It merely tells where we are located in relation to a place that has its own identity.

“We are not Rosebud, we are our own unique environment, our own individual community and we even have our own postcode. We, therefore, feel we deserve our own, individual identity that will help us to define who we are, and strengthen our character and pride of place on the peninsula.”

But Seawinds Ward’s Cr Antonella Celi said many residents “see no reason for the [proposed] change”.

“It would rate very low on their list of priorities,” she said.

“The majority of residents I talk to don’t want a change and that’s been their view over many years. It’s not even on their wish list.”

Rosebud West Action Group’s Heather Barton, manager at Seawinds Community Hub, said changing the suburb’s name “wouldn’t be enough to change the fabric of the community”.

She said the group was putting together an action plan and building community cohesion “from the inside and in ways other than changing the suburb’s name”.

“The name change might work on real estate values but we feel it’s best to work from the inside out to improve the community,” she said.

“The name change might be part of the changes but it’s not going to be a silver bullet. It’s just a small piece of the puzzle and, to some extent, it’s becoming divisive.”

The proposed name is already widely used in the suburb. There’s Capel Sound shopping village, Capel Sound foreshore, Capel Av, the Capel Sound general store and the Sound Bar (previously known as The Capel). The name Capel Sound was even mentioned in the first survey of the bay in 1836.

“This is a one-off opportunity to build our identity around a name that respects the things that make us unique and, as a community, allow us to grow strong and proud,” Mr Wright said.

But he conceded there were “small pockets of opposition” to the proposed change. “I’d say residents are five-to-one in favour and, when they have a think about it, there’s no real opposition,” he said.

“If there had been no early signs of support we would not have pushed it.

“The consultation phase allowed us to hear every argument for and against and now we know it is a good idea.”

From May to July last year, pro-namechange residents conducted 10 sample surveys across the suburb, interviewing 197 residents and 55 businesses. They then put the proposal to the council making the case for change.

At its meeting on 27 November council adopted the recommendation of officers which found sufficient evidence of community interest in the name change. It then recommended the consultation process begin with residents, ratepayers and businesses.

The council will decide on 11 April whether it supports the change and, if so, recommend to Mr Wynne that the change be made.

Hotel deal close – if conditions met THE sale of Sorrento’s landmark Continental Hotel is believed to be edging closer, after being on the market for the past 12 months with an expected price of $15 million.

‘The Conti’, with 23 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and 30 car spaces, has been owned by the Di Pietro family for 21 years. It was built in 1875.

It is believed a consortium of local businessmen is negotiating to take it over subject to being allowed to build units on the rear, council-owned car park. The exact number is unknown, but a three-storey block with 30 apartments has been suggested.

The car park could cost $1-$2 million.

The 3580 square metre hotel block

is being offered through Sothebys International in conjunction with CBRE. If the sale goes ahead, there are also plans to redevelop the four-storey hotel as a stylish, full-service hotel and restaurant, with pool and day spa, but without public accommodation.

Local businessman Julian Gurner would not confirm his role in any prospective purchase, but hinted that a town planning permit application had been submitted to the shire. He said the project was being advertised this week.

He denied the rear car park would be used for apartments.

However, the potential loss of that land as car parking is upsetting

traders, with the main street – Ocean Beach Rd – often in gridlock during summer. Parking is at a premium with the loss of any spaces resented.

Chamber of Commerce vice-president Marc Clavin said parking was the “No. 1 issue in Sorrento”. He said any spaces lost at the east end of the commercial strip would need to be recouped elsewhere.

He said traders want the shire to spend money from the sale of the rear car park on new spaces on George St and Morce Av, near the RSL. Mr Clavin said it was critical the shire received the best possible return from the sale of the site so it could maximise future car park spending.

Awaiting the call on Carrington revamp Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SUBMISSIONS for and against redevelopment of the old Carrington Park Club in Rosebud closed Friday.

Mornington Peninsula Shire will assess whether the proposal should be passed to an expert panel for its recommendations, before a final say by Planning Minister Richard Wynne.

The owner, Storemaker Pty Ltd, which bought the 3.27 hectare site in 2013 for about $2.2 million, claims its redevelopment will enhance the building’s heritage value and complement its original style.

It says building six apartments inside the residence is the only feasible option, and that the lot subdivisions will be larger than surrounding home sites.

But neighbours fighting “to protect the integrity and character of the area” are adamant the building’s perceived heritage values will be devalued by the proposed works.

They say retaining the inter-war period features of the 75-year-old clubhouse in their original state – without extending the height of the building to three storeys as the new owners propose – are the keys to retaining its heritage values and enhancing the area’s amenity.

Tron Overend, son of modernist architect Best Overend, says the scale of the rising hip roof and chimney are integral features.

“Putting to one side how a second storey extension could be sympatheti-

cally imposed on this perspective, a flat roof … would simply look silly with the scale of the walls,” Mr Overend said.

“Alarm bells should ring on the proposal that the deck will be enlarged and posts removed. Original photos show that the thin steel posts are an integral feature … Clearly these might be insufficient with a significantly larger deck, but a larger deck and larger columns will simply destroy the only elevation the developer’s think is significant.”

Storemaker’s Larry Tyler quotes heritage architects Lovell and Chen as saying the hip roof “retains no architectural significance at all”.

He says the roof is “full of asbestos

and dangerous” and that the round corner roof is the outstanding feature.

Also, that building the third storey for two more apartments – a total of six instead of the mooted four – is required to make the clubhouse design “feasible”.

Mr Tyler, who lives nearby, is adamant retention of the building’s heritage value is front and centre of the redevelopment plans.

“Lovell and Chen heritage architects say we could virtually gut the place but that’s not how we want to go about it,” he said.

“We are not heritage vandals, we are the exact opposite.

“The building is falling apart and

there were indications repairs would cost $750,000-$1 million when the Carrington Park club owned it.

“We plan to retain the heritage features, including the original staircase and the balcony.

“The average size of the proposed six apartments is 150 square metres, including balconies. They are either two or three bedrooms, depending on the configuration.”

Mr Tyler said lot sizes would be “at least as large, or larger, than surrounding blocks – not smaller”.

“We will add to public space and ease the fire danger by removing nonnatives and weeds.”

Carrington Park, in Elizabeth St, was

built in 1941 for Leonard and Muriel Moran of the Moran and Cato retail empire. It was Mr Overend’s largest single residential commission and is regarded as one of the last grand “country seat” residences of inter-war Functionalist style, with lavish reception rooms and servants' quarters.

Since 1964, it operated as the Carrington Park Club. The residence was refurbished for its new function with public toilets, locker rooms, kitchens and a bar, although key spaces such as the entry foyer, stairwell and distinctive timber-panelled billiard and dining rooms were left largely untouched.

Seabed solution sought for Portsea’s sand depletion Continued from Page 1 The department also specifies which models or computer simulations must be used by contractor when assessing the six remedial options.

The contractor must also predict “potential environmental impacts” of the options on Portsea front beach, in Weeroona Bay and “to the surrounding near shore and down-drift coastline”.

The “transparent and justifiable” costs of the project can have a 30 per cent plus or minus margin for error.

Most of the beach was washed away in 2010 and the government then spent about $3 million to replace lost sand and protect the beach with sandbags and rocks.

The authorities had repeatedly said

the beach was destroyed by natural causes such as storms, higher sea levels and natural erosion (“Rocks for Portsea beach”, The News, 8/8/13).

Water Technologies’ report stated channel deepening had created channels that allowed larger and more powerful waves to sweep into the beach.

The CSIRO report stated a change in the local wave conditions was the likely cause of the erosion at Portsea but this could not be measured accurately due to a lack of “long wave records at Portsea beach that pre-date the erosion event and CDP [channel deepening project]”.

It is understood the department’s 17-page tender document was sent to four potential contractors as well the Nepean Ratepayers’ Association.

Grannies plan to tackle MPs over refugees A FEDERAL election is looming later this year and Flinders MP Greg Hunt is being pressured by a group of grandmothers upset over the continued detention of refugee children.

The 25 members of Grandmothers and Friends of Grandmothers Group living in the Flinders electorate met at Flinders last Wednesday and are organising a bus-and-car cavalcade to Canberra.

The movement is growing quickly in Victoria and interstate, organiser Ann Renkin said.

“As older Australians with various political party loyalties, our members are very concerned about children and their families living in detention centres at Nauru and Manus,” she said.

To voice their concerns around 100 grandmothers and friends are planning the cavalcade to Canberra to meet MPs. The federal government was criticised at the meeting for intending to return asylum seekers – babies, children and parents – to detention in unsuitable living conditions on Nauru after they receive specialist medical treatment and counselling in Australia.

The government was also criticised for the time being taken to process refugees’ applications for asylum in off-shore detention centres, and, the “devastating and long lasting physical, mental and spiritual effects of indefinite incarceration on already traumatised people”.

Members of the group aim to encourage others in the Flinders electorate to express their concerns to politicians through petitions and by contacting MPs, including local MP Greg Hunt, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton.

“We call on them to remove all asylum seeker children, their families, and unaccompanied minors from detention to permanent community resettlement on the Australian mainland,” Ms Renkin said.

“We expect to meet later this month to get feedback about the Canberra bus trip and to decide on future activities.”

Easter line closures on the level

An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

BUSES will replace trains on a section of the Frankston line from Friday 25 March until Monday 5 April as part of the Labor state government’s commitment to remove eleven level crossings along the line.

Premier Daniel Andrews says an “Easter blitz” to remove three level crossings – at Ormond, McKinnon and Bentleigh – means the works at those three sites will be completed ahead of the original schedule of mid-2017.

Buses will shuttle passengers between Mordialloc and Caulfield stations.

Ormond and McKinnon Stations will also be closed for up to five months so they can be demolished and completely rebuilt but trains will be able to run along the Frankston line

during these works.

“More than 500 staff will work round the clock this Easter, so these dangerous crossings are gone and these new stations are built months ahead of schedule – we’re getting on with it,” Mr Andrews said.

Roads Minister Luke Donnellan thanked passengers for their patience “while we get rid of these congested deathtraps”.

“There will be disruption, but it’s nothing compared to the congestion, delay and distress these crossings cause every day.”

Monet’s house

Trade mark launch for Mornington Peninsula Produce MORNINGTON Peninsula-grown produce has a new identity with the launch of the Mornington Peninsula Produce food provenance brand.

The certified trade mark, developed

by Mornington Peninsula Shire and its Food Industry Advisory Body, will help consumers confirm the provenance of fresh produce when buying from the farm gate, farmers’ markets and retail outlets.

Launching the new initiative last week at The Briars, the mayor Cr Graham Pittock, said local agribusiness was integral to the region’s economy.

“Around one third of our land is devoted to agricultural production, and the Mornington Peninsula is the

second most valuable agricultural region in Victoria, producing at least 15 per cent of the state’s agricultural wealth from less than 4 per cent of the state’s farmland,” he said.

The aim of the trade mark is to strengthen the identity of the Mornington Peninsula as a quality, fresh and innovative food economy.

It provides consumers with a guarantee of authentic provenance from the Mornington Peninsula with the legal backing of the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission.

“The MPP brand is easily identified by its distinctive black and white logo,” Food Industry Advisory Body chairman Steve Marshall said. “It

provides a central focal point for both producers and consumers to rally behind assured provenance.”

The Mornington Peninsula Produce logo is on a range of local produce, including avocados, artichokes, herbs, heirloom vegetables, potatoes, apples, Asian greens, pears, plums, berries and cherries, as well as goats’ milk, lamb, beef, mussels, chicken, eggs, apple cider and apple juice, olive oil, hydroponic vegetables, truffles and garlic.

The Mornington Peninsula Produce website, also launched yesterday, provides a searchable directory of all MPP registered producers and their produce, and is also a useful resource

to identify new opportunities for producers.

Founding members include Coolart Lamb, Hillock Downs, Peninsula Fresh Seafood, Red Hill Cherry Farm, Main Ridge Dairy, Mornington Peninsula Hydroponics, Peninsula Avocados, Hawkes Vegetables, Harts Farms and Peninsula Fresh Organics.

The Food Industry Advisory Body is a volunteer community/industry advisory and reference group that works with Mornington Peninsula Shire on the implementation of the 2012 Local Food Strategy.

IMPRESSIONIST artist Claude Monet’s house at Giverny, France, will be the subject of a talk at the next meeting of the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society.

National Gallery of Victoria curator of international decorative arts and Antiquities Matthew Martin will focus on the house rather than its gardens. Monet is said to have determined many of its more striking interior features, and Mr Martin will place them in the context of progressive ideas about art and design in Europe at the end of the 19th century.

The talk is 5.30pm, Friday 18 March, at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

NEWS DESK Street credit FAMED novelist Nevil Shute has been honoured with the naming of a Langwarrin street in his honour.

The English aeronautical engineer turned author Nevil Norway, who adopted the penname Nevil Shute, called Australia home in later life.

Shute’s 1957 post-apocalyptic book On The Beach, about a group of people in Australia facing the end of life on Earth after a devastating nuclear war in the northern hemisphere, was adapted into a movie.

Parts of the 1959 Hollywood production starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins were filmed in Frankston.

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley joined historians and representatives from Langwarrin community groups to officially name the street, located off the main entrance to Lloyd Park Reserve, last Tuesday (1 March).

“Nevil ‘Shute’ Norway lived a life rich enough to have made up four lifetimes,” Cr Dooley said.

“A talented aeronautical engineer, sailor, pilot, journalist, writer and later a racing car driver, Nevil emigrated to Australia from London in 1950 after World War II with his wife Frances and two daughters Heather and Shirley.

“Here he took on the role of a farmer and ran ‘Devon Park’ a 20 acre property on Robinsons Rd in Langwarrin – that he extended to 100 acres during his time.”

The mayor said Shute’s efforts as a writer had left a great legacy for the world.

Several of his 24 published books were adapted into movies including On The Beach, No Highway and A Town Like Alice.

Winter coming, locals seek out cold weather digs THE Emu residence, Emu Ruo, nestled in a remote forest glade, is under siege. Mrs Emu is beside herself.

“They shouldn’t be protected,” she is hissing, eyes glowing red. “They’re pests. And they’ve been eating my roses again.”

She listens. “There it is again! Get rid of it! Immediately!” Her voice is rising to a shriek.

When the Blushing Bride’s eyes glow and she scatters exclamation marks around like steel bolts from a builder’s bucket, Emu knows he’s in a tight corner.

But what can he do? The besieger is a new, vigorous young brushtail, just moved into the vacancy left last spring by the previous rose eater. He was elderly and no longer nimble, finally leaving hastily just beyond the whirring tip of Mrs Emu’s murderous whipper-snipper.

Emu knows where the rustling is coming from. He stealthily approaches the slow combustion heater.

He grips the door handle and turns. It squeals, not having been opened since last winter.

There, all bright-eyed friendly innocence, sits the young brushtail, on its haunches. “Shut the door!” squawks the Light of Emu’s Life.

“Quick! Before it can get out!” The exclamation marks are rattling off the walls. “He’ll run up the curtains and then he’ll pee!”

She never forgets, Emu muses as he slams the door. Never. But he remembers, too, the shredded curtains, the overwhelming odour, the chase, the final victory, the cleaning up.

He recalls, too, a friend, an old army man, whose house was simi-

Southern Peninsula News 8 March 2016

larly invaded, whose wife insisted he banish the possum that had found a cosy niche in the lounge wall cavity.

His friend didn’t mind except that the possum fidgeted and scratched incessantly, distracting one’s spouse’s enjoyment of the TV. Finally, desperate after the failure of all measures to block the brushtail’s access, he took his old dress sword off the wall over the fireplace one night and had at the restless intruder, repeatedly thrusting the blade into – through – the plasterboard, into the dining room.

It was a display of Flashman-like incompetence that finally exposed the terrified possum, unmoving, uninjured amid plaster shreds, eyes like saucers.

In an instant it leapt out of the wrecked wall and shinned up his wife’s leg and dressing gown, balancing briefly on her hair curlers, then, possibly deafened by her screams, leaped on to and ran along the mantelpiece, bringing down a lifetime’s collection of Royal Doulton.

Emu’s mate had never liked that Royal Doulton, so it was a double tragedy. Piece by painstaking piece, from swanky emporia, glossy catalogues and far-flung opportunity shops, he accompanied his wife as it was replaced, “It was my fault, of course,” Emu’s swordsman friend said morosely. “The walls, the pottery. All my fault.”

So Emu spent a restless night planning how to extricate the possum from the fireplace with minimal damage.

His plan involved a large hessian bag and a rope, plus strategically opened doors and minimal assistance from the BB, who, he knew, would shin up the curtains faster than any possum that might come flying out of the fireplace.

Imagine his relief when, in the morning, the cautiously opened fire door revealed no brushtail, nor any sign one had ever been there.

Mrs Emu was triumphant. That scared him off,” she said, emerging cockily from behind the door where she had been cowering, now firmly in control again after she had so cleverly seen off the danger. “Get up on the roof, Dear, and look down the flue to make sure he’s gone. Then block it.”

Emu took a torch up with him and inspected the pipe. It was almost shiny-clean, splendidly swept, soot-

free. Perhaps they could be trained as chimney sweeps, he thought as he put away the ladder after possum-proofing the flue. There was plenty of work for chimney sweeps in these parts now winter was pending.

But how do they run up and down a steel flue as though it was a stairway?

Emu decided not to raise the topic with the BB. Heaven knew where the possibility of chimney-sweeping possums might lead.

That night, after the Emus had laid aside books and turned off bedside lights, Emu heard a thumping and bumping on the corrugated iron. A creature was trying to break in, apparently with a stillson wrench and a ball peen hammer. Mrs Emu sniggered sleepily. “That’s fixed him,” she said.

“He won’t be back.”

Emu wasn’t so sure. They’re persistent, brushtails. It’ll be his workshop next. Or her gardening shed.

Survey seeks answers to ‘life’ on peninsula Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A COMMUNITY group has launched an ambitious plan to find out what residents and ratepayers want for the future of the Mornington Peninsula.

The results of an online survey to be conducted

by Peninsula Speaks will be managed by Market Metrics and analysed by the Strategy Planning group.

The findings will be provided to all three levels of government in the hope that they will be taken into account when decisions and policies affecting the peninsula are made.

Peninsula Speaks, which describes itself as “a community advocacy organisation concerned with the protection of the Mornington Peninsula's environment and landscape values”, wants people to register online to participate in the survey.

Co-founded by Christine Haydon and Peter Avery, Peninsula Speaks sees itself as providing “a vehicle for its supporters … to make sure the community is able to play its part in learning about inappropriate development proposals, developing community responses, planning actions to combat the proposals and, most importantly, making our councillors aware of the community’s responses and wishes”.

Ms Haydon said they would like 3000 people to participate in the initial survey so it reflected public attitudes “on a broad range of topics”.

Follow-up surveys would be conducted using a database of people who registered to participate in the first survey.

“Their input will be vital in informing decision making at federal, state and local government levels to shape the future allowing for popula-

tion growth, managed development and climate change,” Ms Haydon said.

“The process will involve simple online surveys on a wide ranging series of topics distributed electronically on a periodic basis.”

Mr Avery said Peninsula Speaks wanted to “gain the widest possible range of views about the Mornington Peninsula, both now and how it could be by 2030”.

He said answers to the survey would “identify the key priorities for the future and help inform and guide the key decision makers on the peninsula”.

“Individual answers will be collated along with the answers from all the other completed surveys, so they will never used on an individual basis.”

Questions on the initial survey ask respondents such things as what makes life on the peninsula “special”; what changes will have occurred by 2030; priorities for action; attitudes towards such developments as the Port of Hastings, Point Nepean, low cost housing, aged care, public transport and industrial development in green wedgezoned areas; climate change; emergency planning (bushfires); and their attitudes towards Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (which carries out its own annual “satisfaction” survey).

The closing day is Saturday 2 April – and Mrs Alesci knows they will be flat out until then.

“The sign only went on the window today (Thursday) and we are already almost booked out,” she said.

“A lot of people will be coming to say goodbye; there will be so many people that we’ll miss.”

The new owners will arrive with a new name and style.

IT’S almost time to say “arrivederci” to popular Mornington restaurant Mediterraneo, which will close next month.

Owners Joanne and David Alesci say they are “tired and need a rest” after 14 years’ service at the Queen St site.

The pair took over David’s father’s restaurant serving Italian fare after training in city restaurants. They have been attentive dinner hosts Tuesday to Saturday ever since.

Blaze no barrier to celebrations IT HAS been two years since fire destroyed the cafe at Heronswood in Dromana, but owners Clive and Penny Blazey and their team, are back in full swing with the first festival of the year this week.

The Heronswood Harvest Festival will celebrate the heirloom harvest at the home of the Diggers Club, acknowledged as one of Victoria’s most beautiful gardens and elegant historical homes.

The festival will run over two days, 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday, including free gardening workshops, garden tours and a tomato taste test. “Visitors can enjoy a relaxing lunch on the pool lawn showcasing seasonal produce from our kitchen garden teamed with local wines, handcrafted beer and cider and local coffee too good to resist,� education manager Talie Kenyon said. �We will be having local produce stalls with locally grown Ridge Estate olives, Springview Farm delicious preserves and cookies, Kate Macindoe natureinspired handmade jewellery, Sara Dingwall beautiful hand-blown glass seed pendants and jewellery, and Little River terrariums to name a few.

We also have local wines and beers.�

Clive and Penny Blazey bought Heronswood in 1983, five years after starting the Diggers Club. “Soon they had created the heirloom seeds and introduced them to Australian gardeners in 1991. They started the historic home, and used it as the family home and worked to preserve the history of the building,�

Ms Kenyon said.

They have gifted ownership of the

garden company along with familyowned properties Heronswood and St Erth to the garden and environment trust that they established late in 2011. “We established the Diggers Garden and Environment Trust to ensure that the work we’ve done over the past 34 years in preserving historic gardens and houses as well as the best garden traditions through education will con-

tinue forever,� Clive Blazey said. “The public’s support has ensured that Diggers has succeeded and grown into Australia’s largest gardening club.

It’s now time to make the transformation from a private family owned business into a not-for-profit garden charity somewhat like the National Trust, but firmly anchored in gardening, education and heritage buildings.�

The Diggers Club was established

by Blazey in 1978 with the view to supplying unusual plants and heirloom seeds by mail order to gardeners around Australia.

STUDENTS at Balcombe Grammar School will gain an international perspective when they host an AustraliaIndonesia Muslim exchange program on Wednesday (9 March) and 13 April.

The visit by some of Indonesia’s brightest emerging leaders aims to improve cultural and educational exchanges – and bring on a few selfies – among students in years 7 and 10. “We embrace programs like the Muslim exchange program because of the mutual learning that is ignited by face to face, cross-cultural interactions,� principal Matthew Dodd said.

The visit is backed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s Australia-Indonesia Institute, which aims to foster people-to-people links between Indonesia and Australia through two week cultural and intellectual exchanges.

Co-ordinator Brynna RaffertyBrown has worked with delegates since 2004. “The program selects from a growing number of young leaders involved at grassroots level in the community,� she said. “For many Indonesian Muslim community leaders, this unique program is their first and, sometimes, only opportunity to participate in an overseas program.� “A Pakistani friend who joined me on the [2006] exchange saw a performance of the Hindu epic Ramayana in Pramabanan, an ancient Hindu temple in Yogyakarta, performed by Muslim dancers,� she said. “Coming from a place of some tension between Hinduism and Islam, he came away incredibly inspired about the power of communities coming together. He still talks about it today.�

LETTERS Waste shifting It was with considerable pleasure that I read about Mornington Peninsula Shire Council having a plan for making the shire carbon neutral (“Fiveyear plan for carbon neutrality”, The News 23/2/2016).

My pleasure was short lived however when I realised that this could only be achieved by exporting our waste to another municipality. In other words, we could only achieve neutrality at the expense of another municipality.

No way does this solve the problems of green house gases. It just moves it on.

Our Minister for the Environment, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, received an award for a similar action. He just bought $2.55 billion carbon abatement credits. This did not solve the problem.

Australia per head of population still remains one of the world’s worst polluters.

I do hope that council, with help from the citizens, can come up with a solution to actually reduce our waste.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Options open In relation to your article “Airport Plan Takes Flight” (The News 1/3/16), I wish to reassure your readers that the Mornington Peninsula Shire has not undertaken a detailed examination of any potential alternative land-use options for the land north of Hastings (which is designated as a Port related Special Use Zone) in the unlikely event that plans for a major port in Hastings are ever completely shelved or significantly trimmed.

On behalf of the residents in my ward, the vast majority of who I assess as being supportive of the port development, I have consistently advocated that we need to be patient and wait to see a comprehensive plan of the area needed to support any future expansion of port operations and the associated transport corridors before potentially tying-up any of this land for alternative uses.

In view of the state government’s recent decision to only apply a 15-year non-competition clause (down from 50) on the Port of Melbourne privatisation plans, I am expecting that that planning for an expansion of the Port of Hastings will need to be reinvigorated in the not too distant future.

David Garnock, councillor Cerberus Ward

Possums welcome We can’t help thinking that journalists at the The News are members of the vocal anti-possum brigade. Why else use the headline “Sparks fly from possum” (The News 1/3/16) for an article about the cause and extent of the grass

and scrub fire in Somerville, when in fact the possum theory was highly improbable?

As the article states, investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, but human involvement is far more likely.

We moved to Mt Eliza less than a year ago and were subsequently delighted to learn that our district is known as the possum capital of the peninsula, perhaps even of Victoria.

Instead of revelling in this situation however, many residents appear to have adopted an intolerant attitude, possibly fuelled by anecdotal reports in your paper concerning problems attributed to these native animals.

Human activity is the overwhelming cause of significant environmental damage in our neighbourhood.

Mature trees and native vegetation are ripped out and replaced with trendy landscaping plants that are more decorative than functional. Habitat for wildlife, including birds and insects, is rarely a consideration.

We do not subscribe to the anti-possum sentiment and think that community newspapers have a responsibility to promote respect for all the creatures we share this space with.

Lynda Graf, Mt Eliza

Concern for cyclists Driving along Pt Nepean Rd through Rye and Rosebud shows the hazard for cyclists with a narrow cycle path, and that only in parts, and narrow car lanes such that with cyclists riding close to the road boundary it is necessary for cars to move away.

This, to be safe, means the car having to crossing the centre road line or just slowing down until there is a safe time to pass.

With more than one cyclist the concern is even greater as most cyclists don’t have rear vision mirrors. It is worse still when they have earphones.

Has any consideration been given to requiring cyclists to have rear vision mirrors?

I am sure I had one when cycling in my youth - many years ago and no Lycra. Keith Murley, Blairgowrie

Help when needed On the evening of Wednesday 24 February I unfortunately had an accident on Old Cape Schanck Rd, Rosebud with my car finishing upside down on its roof.

The immediate support was amazing, someone opening the car door to help me get out, others ringing the ambulance and police, an off duty local police officer right there seeing I was OK while waiting for the ambos.

It was a great response of help and assistance and to all those unknown people, men and women, thank you.

There was a sour note in that one

“helpful” person also helped themselves to my wallet so I was forced to cancel cards, get a new licence and so on.

I was whisked off to Frankston Hospital and stayed overnight for observations. Again people being so attentive.

To you all, here at Rosebud and at Frankston, thank You. I’m left with a cracked rib to remind me of the dangers of driving on wet roads, rather greasy after a dry spell.

So take care out there.

Bruce Errol, Rye

Checks, balances Ron Simpson is really drawing a long bow regarding Wayne Swan’s budget speech of May 2013 (“Disappearing surplus”, Letters 1/3/16). He refers to Swan’s statement at that time that the “four years of surplus I announce tonight are a powerful endorsement of the strength of our economy”. If he had checked political history he may have discovered that Rudd replaced Gillard on the 26/6/13 and Chris Bowen replaced Wayne Swan on 27/6/13. One month after that budget speech.

Swan was a great treasurer but even he couldn’t control the budget from the back benches.

I am assuming that Mr Simpson is a conservative because he still did not acknowledge that Swan guided the “fiscal” ship through the GFC. I remind him of the fact that certain aspects of “Smokin’” Joe Hockey’s 2014 budget are still to be passed by the Senate. But the Abbott/Turnbull Governments looked after him with a nice little earner in the US when he “ahem” left the treasurer’s portfolio.

Now we are stuck with Morrison who is more all at sea than the border patrol sailing the oceans blue looking for innocent refugees to persecute.

The national debt is rising and no one in the conservatives knows what to do about it.

The prime minister is in the thrall of the backbenchers and, after promising much but presenting little, has shown himself to be a fizzer. Turnbull is more concerned at what Abbott and his supporters are doing than running the country.

John Cain, McCrae

‘Illegal’ proof Ahh Mr Cain, you have done it again.

Another letter poorly researched and wrong in fact. (“Not illegals”, The News, 1/3/16).

In 1973, while a member of the Commonwealth Police Immigration Squad, I would receive a telex each Friday morning from the Department of Immigration headed “Illegal immigrants for the week ending … “ and a list of names. In June 1975, I was selected to attend the first “

Australian Police” detective training course in Manly, NSW. This was to be an amalgamation of the ACT police, NT police, Commonwealth Police and customs under the then Whitlam Labor government. Mr Cain, I still have the three large study books from this course, with one chapter clearly headed “Illegal immigrants, location and process”, so to blame poor old Tony for inventing the phrase “ illegal immigrants” really does highlight either your lack of knowledge of your subject or a basic need to criticise anything to do with Liberal policy.

You state “ They are asylum seekers trying to escape from the terror that was created by the US, England and to a certain extent, the Howard government”. Well let’s just take one at random: Doctors in Queensland refused to let baby Asha be released from hospital until the government agreed she would not be sent back to Nauru and the hospital entrance was picketed by an angry mob. Trouble was, a background check revealed that baby Asha and her parents were from Nepal, a country with no war, famine, or ruthless dictatorship.

No Mr Cain, not the US, not England and certainly not the Howard government. Just a family with enough money to pay the people smugglers to try and queue-jump to Australia for a better life.

Go through the correct channels and then and only then can we shut down these detention centres.

Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Abuse has no end My letter “Islands of cruelty’ (15/2/16) apparently left some uninformed people scratching their heads about the term “chaining the living to the dead”.

It seems these people cannot understand the simplicity of the current government policy to let asylum seekers rot on Manus and Nauru as a disincentive to more asylum seekers setting out from Indonesia in boats with the possibility that some may drown on the way.

Australia’s offshore processing regime has come badly off the rails.

Rape, child abuse and indefinite detention are the common characteristics.

The immigration department continues to prevent information, obscure the truth, and mistreat people behind a veil of secrecy. The government has been totally complicit in the inhumane treatment of asylum seekers who arrive by boat.

Its actions have been condemned by the United Nations.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said “... this pernicious, criminal trade of people cannot succeed”. In other words, the demonisation and criminalisation of hapless asylum seekers

will continue.

Underlying this horrendous abuse of human rights is the largely unchallenged assumption that the only way to stop asylum seeker deaths at sea is to make life at the end of the journey so appalling and inhumane that no one will try to escape by sea.

This is the underlying reason why I used the term “chaining the living to the dead”.

These chains are very expensive too. The cost to Australia is immense; $400,000 a year for every asylum seeker on Manus and Nauru.

There has to be a better and more humane way to allow Australia to meet its international human rights obligations, because so far the whole process is a failure.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

World’s best Would it be possible to arrange a presentation to the World’s Best Minister?

We could all meet at the World’s Best Creek in Balnarring and the World’s Best coal company (Adani) could present [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt with a plaque congratulating him on his contribution to Word’s Best Pollution.

Mel Farnbach, Balnarring

Foolish feelings If Flinders MP Greg Hunt can fool me once shame on him; fool me twice, shame on me.

It would be very nice if the billions shovelled into the big polluters be shovelled back into services that he cut when sitting at the government’s cutting table, such as health care, education and pensions, and give back that what was taken away from the pensioners.

Good on Mr Hunt when he walks in a favourite charity walk and attends local fetes (although we are paying him for that as well). What he fails to mention when shaking our hands is that the government is shaking us down by reducing services vital for a healthy educated and fair society.

Again, fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

The government should not go after the penalty rates of those that can least afford pay cuts, because it is a pay cut.

Surplus surprise In the light of the Abbott and Hockey partnership promising a quick return to surplus but in fact actually adding $70 billion to the deficit, it would be interesting to hear Ron Simpson’s take (“Disappearing surplus”, Letters 1/3/16) after his criticism of Wayne Swan and John Cain. The question of ignoring the facts to suit a political point of view.

105 LATROBE PARADE DROMANA

Water slide closed in Biala helps parents recover ‘their time’ wake of more injuries Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A WATER slide at Frankston’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre is out of action after two boys were injured while using the slide.

PARC CEO Tim Gledhill confirmed the AquaSphere slide will be closed “for the next few weeks” until an investigation into the incident takes place.

The two boys were using the AquaSphere water slide last Saturday (27 February), featuring raft rides for two to four people, when the incident occurred.

“Both boys received immediate medical attention from our lifeguard staff before being transferred to hospital where one was treated for concussion and the other boy was diagnosed with a fractured elbow,” Mr Gledhill said.

“We are working closely with the manufacturer of the slide, Whitewater West, to investigate the cause of the incident and the slide is anticipated to remain closed for the next few weeks during this process.”

The centre will remain open and the AquaPlay aquatic playground featuring multi-level landings and slides is still in use.

The 79-metre high AquaSphere, billed as “a thrilling family raft ride featuring high-speed twists and drops, fully enclosed spheres and 90 degree corners”, was closed for ten months after two adults suffered

head injuries on the slide in August 2014.

Mr Gledhill said “engineering changes” were made by the slide’s manufacturer after the previous incident.

“The current incident is unrelated and will be treated according to the suggestions made by the manufacturer following the investigation,” he said.

“The safety of our members and guests is our highest priority and we remain committed to ensuring our visitors have safe and enjoyable experience at all times.”

The $49.7 million PARC, funded by the federal government, state government and Frankston Council, opened in late 2014 and the AquaSphere ride was hailed as “a key highlight of the centre”.

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said PARC advised council immediately of the latest incident on the water slide.

“It was noted their first concerns were for the two boys and making sure they were attended to,” Mr Hovenden said.

“They advised council of the closure of the ride and that an investigation would follow.”

“We are interested in how this is being managed. However, it should be noted that this incident comes after a lengthy period of operation without any incident.

“Council is being kept informed and will await further advice.”

PARENTS of children with disabilities, developmental delays or a chronic medical condition are being encouraged to make contact with Biala Peninsula based in Mornington.

The free group, in Elizabeth St, allows parents to unwind and talk about their experiences. A trained facilitator helps guide the discussion, share experiences and connect parents with support services.

A skilled play helper engages children below school age so parents and carers are free to chat with each other. “Research tells us that many parents of children with disabilities struggle to find time to look after themselves, and that social isolation is a real danger,” National MyTime director Annette Michaux said.

“The groups meet every few weeks and help parents cope with challenges, share positive experiences, navigate support services and achieve an increased sense of wellbeing.

“There are 200 MyTime groups around Australia and 90 per cent of parents who use this free support service are satisfied or highly satisfied with how their groups are run.”

MyTime groups such as Biala Peninsula are open to any parent or carer of a child – up to 16 years of age – with a disability, developmental delay or a chronic medical condition.

Children below school age can attend groups with their parent or carer. The Biala Peninsula group is coordinated by Playgroup Victoria and interested parents can find out more by visiting mytime.net.au MyTime funding is provided by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. The Parenting Research Centre coordinates the program nationally.

Fortnightly Monday afternoon sessions are 12.15-3.15pm at Elizabeth St, Mornington.

The next session is Monday 21 March. Parents are asked to book a place on 5975 1820.

LETTERS Concrete pollutes Our clever Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is up to its tricks again.

Immediately after forcing ratepayers to pay for unnecessary concrete footpath schemes around the shire and in the quiet coastal village of Somers councillors release their carbon neutral policy.

As we know 20 per cent of greenhouse gases polluting our atmosphere comes from concrete production.

Council may intend to buy carbon offsets on Nauru, where its multi-national works contractor runs long-term â&#x20AC;&#x153;prisonâ&#x20AC;? camps for boat people including babies, or have I underestimated our clever council?

Have it invented a new way of making concrete without releasing carbon gases?

Council is closing the Rye tip amid carbon neutral fanfare and approving, in Somerville, plans for a large open-cut clay and rock quarry. Is this to be the next tip?

Our â&#x20AC;&#x153;environmentally sensitiveâ&#x20AC;? council should match its actions with its words.

David Gill, Balnarring Beach

Footpath â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; As recent as your last publication it was stated â&#x20AC;&#x153;five kilometres of a two-metre concrete pathâ&#x20AC;? [is planned at Somers]. This is totally incorrect. The fact is, approximately 1.5 kilometres of shared/bike pathway will be constructed to extend the existing path into Somers (standard size of two metres wide).

The pedestrian path around the Somers bus route will be the approved [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council width of 1.5 metres, finished in a gravel surface on a concrete base (exposed aggregate).

If you wish to confirm or seek further information regarding the Somers pathway project contact the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project manager, Jeremy Grieve.

The Somers Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association thanks you for the opportunity of â&#x20AC;&#x153;right of replyâ&#x20AC;?.

John Copeland, secretary Somers Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association

Question path plan Mornington Peninsula Shire Officers informed councillors at their 8 February meeting that crushed

rock (granitic sand), if used as a footpath surface in Somers rather than concrete, would need maintenance every two years. As we ratepayers well know, there are many such paths all over the shire that are never maintained and yet do a great job, due to the very nature of our often sandy subsoils.

Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t our elected councillors be questioning such outlandish statements from shire officers instead of just accepting the shire â&#x20AC;&#x153;preferenceâ&#x20AC;? for more expensive, higher impact, exposed aggregate concrete?

In Somers, existing gravel paths are excellent, yet we have never seen them maintained. But now we are to have a concrete pathway encircling the footprint of our community, forever spoiling the character of our coastal village.

It would appear there was never a real choice for an alternative pathway surface. Bogus surveys and shire-approved communications that had suggested â&#x20AC;&#x153;an informal meandering pathwayâ&#x20AC;? were merely used to trick the people of Somers and tick the box for community consultation.

Pam Bannister, Somers

Safe Schools needed I write to express my support of the work of the Safe Schools Coalition and the many Dunkley schools who are members. I write to give voice to the members of our community who have contacted me with their personal stories, wishing that the program had existed when they were at school and worried that it might now be discontinued.

The bullying and discrimination faced by vulnerable students, including LGBTI students, should be acknowledged by all.

This is why the Safe School Coalition exists and why not only schools, but also respected organisations such as the Foundation for Young Australians, the Secondary Principals Association and beyondblue, are backing it.

The program helps to create a school environment where all students can experience the safety and acceptance that they need to learn and grow.

But instead of embracing it, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has caved in to the extremists within his own Liberal Party by announcing that he will review the program.

I call on all community leaders to put the interests

of LGBTI students, their families and our community ahead of the fabrications of a few narrow-minded people. Peta Murphy, Labor candidate for Dunkley

Land for housing For more than 100 years the average Australian family was able to buy its first home on one wage. Since 2001 the median house price has increased from three times the median income to more than nine times. As a result, the prospect of ever becoming homeowners has now all but vanished for a great many Australians.

So why have house prices skyrocketed when the cost of building a new house has not changed? Land prices.

Local and state governments and their land management agencies have refused to provide an adequate and affordable supply of land to meet demand. The so-called scarcity that has driven up land prices is wholly contrived - it is a matter of political choice, not geographic reality. It is the product of restrictions imposed through planning regulation and zoning.

Affordable housing leads to bigger and more vibrant communities and a more affordable resident workforce.

Struggling farmers are denied the opportunity to subdivide their farms, blocks or disused farmhouses to aid their family business.

Quite apart from the economic foolishness of it all, it is morally wrong for legislators to enrich some while impoverishing others. How dare we, the older generation, benefit from affordable housing and deny it to the younger generation? We have denied the next generation much more than a home, we have denied them the security and benefits that go with home ownership and the opportunity to build wealth.

Many now defer having a family while they save for a deposit to buy a home.

Choir sings for patronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 90th WELSHMEN love to sing, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to travel far through the Cambrian hills before encountering a male choir.

With their origins in the mining communities of the valleys, the Welsh choirsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; harmonies and power are a glorious sound to behold.

But Wales is a long way to go when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a world class choir on the peninsula. The Australian Welsh Male Choir (CĂ´r Meibion Cymreig Awstralia) has been in Frankston for more than 40 years, entertaining concert-goers with its harmonies and inspirational music.

The choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repertoire consists of pieces sung in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;language of the angelsâ&#x20AC;? but most of the material is in English: spirituals, opera choruses, show tunes and the best of contemporary music, providing plenty of variety and something for everyone.

Mornington Peninsula audiences can hear the choir at a concert for its long-time patron, Baillieu â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bailsâ&#x20AC;?

Myer, who lives at Elgee Park, Merricks North, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday (or as Bails likes to put it: the 40th anniversary of his 50th birthday).

The concert to thank him for his support will be supported by ensemble â&#x20AC;&#x153;Encore,â&#x20AC;? consisting of four women with their own brand of harmonic magic.

The concert will be at 2pm, Sunday 20 March, at Peninsula Community Theatre, 91 Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

Fun and games estuary family day YOUNGSTERS looked high and low for birds, propagated plants, went ooh and aah at water creatures and had their faces painted at Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group’s family day at the old campground last Sunday week.

They also made mini-books, burrowed in the bush, landscaped in sand and laughed as noted children’s book author and illustrator Terry Denton drew characters on butcher’s paper.

There was even tai chi for kids on the grass while mums, dads and grandparents snacked at a sausage sizzle and sipped coffee.

Mornington Peninsula deputy mayor Bev Colomb congratulated BERG Mt Martha for the work it was carrying out to ensure the health of the estuary.

Members and volunteers, clad in white Tshirts, carried out the myriad tasks essential to ensuring everything ran smoothly, strolling

through the crowds of enthusiasts and answering questions.

“It was our most successful family day with more than 400 people turning up for the fun and games,” BERG president Graham Hubbard said.

“We spoke to a lot of local people and told them of the importance of respecting and preserving the Balcombe Creek estuary and reserves which, at one stage, were polluted, with the banks overgrown with weeds.

“We like to think that, as community members, we are making a difference to our natural environment by being actively engaged with it.”

As part of Clean Up Australia Day, BERG Mt Martha members were back at the estuary on Sunday, March 6.

Growing pile: Clean-up operation ‘under review’. “It’s a pity the picture didn’t capture the vermin,” our correspondent said.

Rubbish pile grows, departments dither RUBBISH dumped outside a public housing unit block in Mary St, Mornington, has been piling up since November attracting vermin and becoming a fire risk.

A Mornington Peninsula Shire ranger reported the mess but, because the property off Spray St and behind Main St is on Department of Human Services land, he was unable to launch a clean-up operation.

The rubbish remained – and grew – posing a threat to the 30 mainly aged and infirm residents in the units whose only point of access was becoming blocked by the pile.

Mornington fire brigade twice put out fires caused by vandals. A resident put out another fire later.

The daughter of a neighbour, Jennifer Webber, said she spoke to the fire brigade, which said

the rubbish was a shire responsibility, and to the shire, which said it was up to DHS. “In the meantime two arson attempts have been made and, on a hot day, strong winds and fire could effectively block residents from evacuating. I am going to try the EPA next,” she said.

Later, she told The News: “DHS finally got back to me, saying: ‘I write to acknowledge your email received on 2 March 2016. The department will review the matter you have raised and advise you of the outcome of your complaint. It is hoped a response can be provided by 20 working days after receipt’.

“This is not good enough,” Ms Webber said.

“The rubbish has been in front of [the units] since November last year and 20 working days is four weeks – yet it is such a danger to residents.”

Golden age recreated with style and love Address: For Sale: Agency: Agent:

10 Shout Street, BITTERN Offers over $920,000 Tallon Estate Agents, 34 High Street, Hastings, 5979 3000 Dominic Tallon, 0408 528 857

IT’S never more exciting when you discover a property that can truly live up to the word unique. This charming and intriguing home is set on about 9000 square metres and is the ultimate tree-change property. The main dwelling is only about 20 years old but looks like it has been here and loved for generations. In keeping with the period style so beautifully re-created – the polished floorboards and the vintage era carpets are fabulous –there are enormous living areas with a gorgeous kitchen and dining space dominated by a huge ornate island bench. There is plenty of cupboard space including a butlers pantry with sink and dishwasher, and other appliances include a commercial grade 6-burner

cooktop and oven. A separate formal lounge has a working fireplace and is an ideal getaway for adults, as will be the main bedroom with ensuite and built-in robes. From most rooms is a lovely leafy view out to the garden and French doors open out to a quaint series of entertainment areas, verandahs, courtyards and pathways that meander through the grounds. With it’s own driveway, a separate fully self-contained cottage, that was added to the property in 2010, is that extra dimension perfect for extended family, or potentially a bed and breakfast enterprise (STCA). The spacious one-bedroom cottage is well-presented and boasts a cosy kitchen, open fire place to the lounge and

dining area and a bathroom with spa bath. For something more rustic, a Circa 1920’s railway guards van appears in original condition and can be another bedroom, as it has been over the years, or a fantastic studio or home office. All services are connected to the property, there is a detached brick structure near the main courtyard that houses the laundry, and the guards van has an outhouse toilet. A superb array of outbuildings keep the property clear of clutter and there are multiple parking areas. For those with the means to acquire this home, this warm and welcoming property offers something for everyone.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

WHAT DO OUR VALUES MEAN? ST. JOHN of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is a Division St. John of God Health Care who: • Employ over 13,000 Caregivers (the name we use for our staff) • Operates 17 hospitals (across Victoria, Western Australia, NSW and New Zealand) • Have an extensive pathology service and • 6XSSRUWV VLJQL¿FDQW RXWUHDFK services including East Timor and Papua New Guinea.

One of the possible concerns of organisations becoming so large is that they can lose touch with their core values and buckle under the pressure of reaching agreed targets and becoming only a shadow of what they intended to be.

Within St. John of God Health Care we recognise this and so each Division has a Director of Mission.

The Director of Mission is an executive position that sits alongside the CEO, Finance and HR and supports a values-based approach to decision making, strategic thinking and service delivery.

The Director of Mission ensures the values of the organisation are not just printed words on display, but are inherent in the actions and attitudes of each caregiver in our hospital as they go about their daily duties.

Values have a dual role to play.

Not only do they describe what is important to us, the principles to which we aspire, they can also hold us to account.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Snakes spotted in Frankston park Compiled by Melissa Walsh A lady resident of Frankston had a rather exciting time on Sunday last.

While proceeding to church, through the park, she was confronted with two snakes. Though somewhat frightened she pluckily went for the reptiles, and succeeded in killing one with her umbrella, which was smashed in the encounter. The other snake managed to escape. The reptiles were about three feet long. *** THE employees of the Richmond Woollen Mills intend holding their annual picnic in the Frankston Park, on Saturday next, 18th March. *** THE committee of the Moorooduc Sports has decided not to hold sports this year owing to the war and so many of the young men of the district having enlisted. They expect to hold it the following year as usual. *** ENTRIES for the Somerville Show close with the secretary (Mr S. S.Gault) today. The show takes place on Wednesday next, when it is expected there will be a very large entry of fruit, and, given fine weather the attendance should be a record one. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason announce in our advertising columns that arrangements have been completed for the holding of monthly stock sales in the Corporation Yards (Tanti), Mornington, on the third Monday in each month. The first sale will be held on the 20th inst.

*** GENERAL regret is expressed in the district at the death of Robert Scott, only son of Mr and Mrs Erwin, old and highly respected residents of Wells Road, which occurred at Tandarra private hospital, East Melbourne, on Saturday last. The deceased had enlisted some months ago but was discharged on account of the illness to which he succumbed.

His remains were interred in the Burwood cemetery. *** OUR readers are reminded that the sale of Major C. W. Campbell’s magnificent furnishings of Amesfield Park takes place on the property on Monday next. This is a rare opportunity for persons wishing to furnish to get valuable furniture at a reasonable cost.

A complete catalogue consisting of nearly 1000 lots has been published and may be inspected at this office.

In addition to the furnishings there is about 200 sheep, 10 horses, sundry cattle and 100 tons of hay to be sold.

Motor cars and cabs will meet trains at Frankston on morning of sale and convey intending buyers to and from Amesfield Park for 1s 6d per head for motors and 1s per head for cabs. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Council, the usual placid proceedings were marred by Cr Turner, who it appears doubted the secretary’s figures with regard to the finances of the Hastings Park, not withstanding the latter having given

the receipts and disbursemnts for several years past.

The secretary appealed to the chairman to protect him from such remarks as Cr Turner uttered. His books were auditered every year by competent men and his figures had never been doubted before.

The President and other councillors present endorsed what the secretary had said, and the President said that it was very wrong that Cr Turner should endeavor to cast a slur on an officer of the council. Cr Turner said he did not mean to be insulting in his remarks, and only wanted an explanation.

Seeing that it had been taken up in the manner it was he would apologise. The apology was accepted and peace was again restored. *** AT a meeting of the Presbyterian Ladies Guild, held at Miss Betts residence on Friday, March 3rd, Mrs Geo. Shepherd was duly elected President.

It was decided to hold monthly meetings instead of irregular meetings as before.

The Guild was formed some months ago with the idea of raising funds to build a Presbyterian Church, which is much needed in the district, but on account of the war, building with be abandoned for some tine and the Guild will have a chance to work up a good sum of money before building operations commence.

With Mrs Shepherd as President, great things are predicted. A concert will be held Easter week.

*** AT the monthly meeting of theSomerville branch of the Red Cross Society, held on Tuesday evening Feb 29th, it was decided to levy 1s on each member to give a donation to the Y.M.C.A. who have appealed to the local branch for support.

On applying to the central Red Cross Society for permission to donate to this fund, the branch was informed that in their opinion they could not donate to any fund, and that all money collected for the Red Cross must be used for that purpose only. The secretary, Mrs Geo. Shepherd will be pleased to receive 1s levy from all members as early as possible. *** WATER supply scheme - A scheme is to be prepared for the supplying of water to the Flinders Naval Base and to private residents on the Mornington Peninsula. At the conclusion of the State Cabinet meeting on Tuesday the Premier said “Some years back a proposal was put forward for the supplying of water to various seaside towns on the Mornington Peninsula.”

About a year ago, however, the Commonwealth Government found that it would have to provide a large supply of water for the new Flinders naval base on the peninsula, and it was agreed that a combined scheme should be carried out.

The supply, it was suggested, should come from the Bunyip River, but before this could be finally decided on further surveys will have to be made.

The cost of the scheme will probably

run from £160,000 to £170,000, and it is a consideration precedent that the Federal authorities will be prepared to make satisfactory arrangements for the rising of the money.

In anticipation that these arrangements will be made Cabinet on Wednesday approved of recommendation by the Water Commission that it be empowered to make survey so as to ascertain the most effetive source of fees with a view to inviting submission to the Federal and local council. The number of towns include Carrum, Seaford, Frankston Somerville, and Mornington. *** AUSTRALIAN Expeditionary Forces.Recruits wanted. every man physically fit is wanted.Conditions of enlistment. Age—18 to 45 years.

Minimum height—5 feet 2 inches.

Chest measurement—33 inches.

Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot, where arrangements will be made for medical examination. *** ALEX Scott and Co. report.—A small yarding of milkers but a fair yarding of springers and fleshy and store cattle to hand. The demand for milkers was slacker,whilst springers and other cattle sold at late rates. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 March, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The deconstructed corned beef fritter debacle

By Stuart McCullough IT was a ruin; a steaming, smouldering wreck that could not be retrieved.

The hot mess in front of me was supposed to be corned beef fritters.

At best it was an abject failure. At worst, it would be something that anyone who’d ever strolled past the television during a cooking program might describe as ‘deconstructed’.

All the ingredients were present and accounted for; all that was left was for me to pull the whole thing together. It was in this regard that I had failed and failed miserably at that.

Despite my adherence to the recipe, the fritters were determined to break apart. Regardless of the effort I took and despite the abundance of caution I exercised, after mere moments in the fry pan they began to disintegrate.

As the remnants sizzled in front of my eyes, all I could think was: this is a symbol of everything that has gone wrong.

My wife went away for a month.

Having finished one job and not being due to start the next one for a few weeks, she decided to make the most of the opportunity and head overseas.

Having lived with someone for ten years, to have her suddenly absent was extremely disorienting. Not that the full force of it hit me straight away. It began, as these things do, with a trip to the airport. As far as excursions go into the alternative luminescent reality that is Tullamarine, it was a complete triumph. We arrived in the dead of night but in plenty of time, and lined up for the check-in counter along with tennis players who’d just been beaten at the

PAGE 32

Australian Open and were understandably keen to leave the country as quickly as possible. After saying our goodbyes, I drove towards home, getting stuck in a traffic jam on the Bolte Bridge at midnight because that’s when they change the light bulbs on the street lamps. I can’t tell you how many road workers it takes to change a light bulb, but I can say that

Southern Peninsula News 8 March 2016

it involves a really big cherry picker and causes some pretty serious traffic congestion.

In an ideal world, a late night would be followed by a sleep in. But the world is not ideal, especially when it includes a dog that regards not letting her out at 5am as a substantial deprivation of liberty and refuses to be quiet about it. Long before the

sun had shown its face, I was out of bed. Over a period of time, the dog and I have developed something of an understanding: I’ll get up early on weekends if she’ll let me use that time to write. But as I sat at my computer, all was well in my weary world until I thought I heard the sound of paper being torn.

Curious, I got up from my chair to investigate. Walking through the kitchen the sound only got louder. It grew louder still as I walked through the hall to the bedroom. There I found our dog, Fozzie, sitting on the bed and tearing the third volume of Clive James’ memoirs, which I was part way through reading, to pieces.

Personally, it was a book I’d been enjoying very much, and I had no idea that the dog felt otherwise. I wondered whether this act of wanton destruction might, in fact, be the start of her career as a literary critic. More than once in the weeks that followed, I have wondered whether the mess I was picking up in the backyard might, in fact, be Fozzie’s review of the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ series. I’d certainly like to think so.

It was an inauspicious start.

Clearly, the dog and I needed to work a few things out if both of us were to survive the next few weeks – if she could stop eating my books, I would do my best to cease mistaking her dog food pellets for breakfast cereal.

Granted, I realised something was wrong after the first seven or eight spoonfuls, but she seemed to take my innocent mistake quite personally.

Before Kate, I lived by myself for a long time. And given all those years

of practice, I should really good at it.

But a household is a delicate thing, and an absence will inevitably upset the natural balance if not completely disturb the space / time continuum.

The dog was clearly put out; taking any chance she got over the next few weeks to burst into the bedroom in search of Kate or to lie in front of the door in the belief that she would, eventually, have no choice but to emerge.

Meanwhile, we developed a routine in which we went to the park for a walk every day. Once, getting her to walk up the street was a stop-start proposition. Now we set a great pace.

It was at the park that I realised just how friendly our dog is, as she greeted canines and humans with equal enthusiasm. Not that our troubles were at an end. Sensing weakness, the dog took to jumping up on the couch, forcing me to place upturned chairs on the cushions. The end result was a lounge room that looked as if it had a giant porcupine squatting in it.

I had help of course – lots of it. Thanks to the generosity of my mother in law and nephews, the dog was well looked after during the day.

And yet things felt inordinately busy.

As though they might slip off the rails at any give moment. But as I shovelled deconstructed corned beef fritter over my lips, it tasted a lot better than it looks. Perhaps despite the chaos and things not turning out quite how you expect, things can still be all right. Or they’re okay so long as you keep your books out of harm’s way.

I’m sure Clive James would agree. www.stuartmccullough.com

SAFARI MOTEL

By Terri Lee Fatouros

With Liam Kealy on Hammond keys rocking it and Dean James producing first-class riffs on lead, the four originals of Nicholas Pearce (sax), Jason Nehill (bass), Neil Richardson (percussion) and Nicole Nehemia (vocals) are paramount in sound. Their panache is making waves at the Heritage 3059 on Sunday, 13th March.

Safari Motel are seeped in soul, funk and blues and combined with their big band sound is really rocking it.

Over the past two years they have been playing regularly at festivals around the state and have attracted a huge and loyal fan base. Their mix of feel-good, high-energy original funk, groove, blues and soul music has earned them a place in the thriving Melbourne music scene as one of its most sought after live acts.

The band performs regularly at many major music festivals including Motor City Music, Echuca Winter Blues, Wangaratta Jazz, Blues Train

and Docklands plus a heap of others.

Recently, these talented musicians were finalists in the MBAS International Blues Challenge and had their debut album in the Top 30 of the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart.

Nehemia’s vocals still hold that intensity of range, and if any change is noticeable after all this time it’s her ability to project her voice; I reckon she could break glass if push came to shove as she can really belt out a song. However, just as easily she can do soft, mellow and sensual lyrics and is perfect as front woman for her band.

Safari Motel are pulling no punches; they’ve got the ingredients to go a long way in this industry, they are the real deal in funky soul and a band to watch out for. Catch them up close and personal in Balnarring at the Heritage 3059 this March – they’ll hit the stage at 3pm on Sunday the 13th.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Eagles fail to soar: Somerville went down to Peninsula Old Boys, letting them into the Grand Final.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand for POB, Magpies PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully CRIB Point will play Peninsula Old Boys in the Provincial Grand Final after they won their respective semifinals on the weekend.

Crib Point made light work of beating Baxter, winning the game six wickets down on Sunday.

Peninsula Old Boys knocked over Somerville, picking up the final wicket at 4.30pm on Sunday afternoon to advance to yet another big dance.

It was an impressive performance from the Old Boys, who were well led by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old-timerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jonny Forrest, who rescued the Old Boys with 58 on Saturday before taking 2/9 off a five over spell. It was that spell that saw Jack Barbour and Brad Rossborough removed within two balls of one another when both looked comfortable at the crease.

However, when they were sent packing, Somerville was in some strife at tea at 5/109.

Earlier in the innings, opening quick Adam Jones got the Old Boys

going with quick wickets.

The Eagles felt they were in the contest at tea, however, Zac Fillipone removed Justin Allsop in the second over after tea and it was all downhill from there.

Somerville were bowled out for 150, chasing POBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 225.

At one stage in their innings, POB was 2/0 and 5/55, however, Will Crowder scored 24, Glenn Prendergast 23, Forrest 58 and Tom LaBrooy 40.

In the other semi-final Henry Dolphin scored a half century to

set-up Crib Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory against Baxter.

Baxter scored 156 in 77.5 overs on Saturday with Todd Quinn top scoring with 36, Daniel Lanati scoring 32 and Ben Brittain 30. At one stage Baxter was 7/94.

Glenn Barclay and Brad Arnold snared three wickets each.

On Sunday, Baxter was short on bowlers and it showed with Crib Point easing to victory with plenty of overs to spare and four wickets in hand.

Grand Final

Crib Point and POB will face off in this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand final at RM Hooper Oval on Graydens Rd. The Magpies hosted POB in round two in the first two day game of the season.

The Old Boys batted first and made 8/301 with Dylan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley scoring 77, Matty Hyden 76 and Will Crowder 58.

In reply, the Magpies were bowled out in the 56th over for 108. Rob Hearn top scored for the Magpies with 30.

Tom Feldgen was the star for the Old Boys with 5/31 off 17 overs.

Panthers to fight with Sharks DISTRICT

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will be looking for back-to-back flags in this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District Grand Final after beating Baden Powell on Saturday.

The Panthers won the Sub District Grand Final last season and have been superb in 2015/16 in their first season in District.

While the Panthers were celebrating, it was heads in hands for Red Hill.

In one of the upsets of the season, the 2015/16 dominant side of the competition, Red Hill, were bundled

out of the premiership race by Flinders.

The Hillmen may have scored 303 against the Sharks in their home and away match earlier in the season, however, they limped to just 160 on Saturday when they batted first.

The Panthers and the Sharks will go head to head this weekend at Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alexandra Park.

Red Hill skipper Simon Dart top scored for his side on Saturday with 29.

The Hillmen were bowled out in the 68th over.

Matt Burns was superb for Flinders with 4/36 from 23.2 overs, while Max Royal was equally as impressive with

4/20 from 16 overs.

The Hillmen had their chances in the match on Sunday, however Tom Clements and Simon Parrott put on a solid partnership and got their side over the line.

Down the road at Pearcedale Reserve, the game was a little tighter, Pearcedale winning by just nine runs.

Baden Powell won the toss and batted first on Saturday with Rhys Elmi top scoring with 57, while Ryan Barnett was the only other play to get to double figures with 17. The Braves were bowled out in the 53rd over for 103.

Shane Maggs was the destroyer for the Panthers with 5/36 from 18 overs.

Pearcedale was in real strife at stumps after facing the final 27 overs of the day.

The Panthers resumed on Sunday at 4/38 and while they were far from convincing, were able to get to 112, which was enough to win the match and advance to the grand final.

Baden Powell had another crack and declared at 8/58 before having one last go at the Panthers. Pearcedale were more than happy to bat the overs out.

Grand Final The 2015/16 Grand Finalists met in

Round 7 at BA Cairns Reserve, the first match of 2016 and a one-dayer.

The Sharks batted first and made 8/144 in 40 overs with Andrew Power top scoring with 41 and Mitch Stansborough scoring 33.

Chris Dew took 3/29 for the Panthers.

In reply, Pearcedale was bowled out for 98 in the 35th over.

Will Kennedy top scored with 21, while Matt Burns claimed 3/16, Dwayne Field 2/30 and Blake HoganKeogh 2/26.

Shane Maggs is no doubt the trump card for the Panthers in the grand final.

Dromana fairytale ends SUB-DISTRICT

Bowled out of the finals: Rosebud managed to beat Hastings in their match, securing a grand final berth. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully THE fairytale story of Dromana Cricket Club ended abruptly on Sunday at the hands of Frankston YCW in the MPCA Sub District semi-final.

The Hoppers have been the whipping boys of the competition for many seasons, however, with the inclusion of Darren Kerr and Aaron Kaddatz and co, quickly became the glamour team of Sub District in 2015/16.

However, on Sunday afternoon, the Hoppers were soundly beaten by the Stonecats by more than 100 runs.

The Stonecats will face Rosebud in the Grand Final after the Buds smashed Hastings in the other semi-final.

Frankston YCW won the toss and batted first on Saturday, setting Dromana a solid total of 8/233 for victory on Sunday.

Levi McLoughlin-Dore saved his best innings of the season for the semi with 62, while Jack Greenwood scored 47, Kip Mulvogue 38 and Lai Leaunoa 35.

The Hoppers used eight bowlers in a bid to get wickets. Craig Dunlop was the pick of them with 3/28 from 17 overs.

Dromana was 7/91 at tea and was all out for 111.

In the other semi-final between Rosebud and Hastings, once again, it was a game that didn’t reach any great heights.

Like their home and away match

where Rosebud pulled off a reverse outright, it appeared as though the match could head the same way after 14 wickets were lost on the first day.

Rosebud was bowled out for 139 in 61 overs on Saturday after winning the toss. Jason Nagel top scored with 44 and Luke Marshall hit 33. At one stage, Rosebud was 8/62.

Luke Hewitt was outstanding for the Blues with 7/43 from 21.4 overs.

Hastings didn’t fare much better with the bat, struggling to 3/27 after facing the final 19 overs on Saturday.

On Sunday, the Blues were bowled out for just 104.

Rosebud was sent back in but was cruising at 1/62 before the game was called-off.

Grand Final Sub District Grand Finalists Rosebud and Frankston YCW met in Round 3 way back in October 2015 - it was a one-day clash.

The Buds made 5/127 in their 40 overs with Billy Quigley top scoring with 39. Andy Kitson took 2/10 from 10 overs.

In reply, the Stonecats fell seven runs short, scoring 9/120 from 40 overs.

Jack Greenwood top scored with 53 for YCW while Scott Millar claimed 3/33 for the Buds. There were three run-outs.
