SNAKES valued at up to $30,000 were stolen from an iconic Mentone Aquarium early on Monday morning. A brazen thief smashed the toughened glass door of the Nepean Hwy store at 2.38am and then smashed glass cabinets to steal at least 30 pythons of all sizes and descriptions. But the man didn’t leave unscathed: CCTV footage shows him running from the shop with the jaws of a 1.8 metre olive python – known to be aggressive – clamped onto his hand. The haul included eastern coastal jaguar, jungle, wheat stinson and olive pythons which business co-owner Bill Bertram believes will “go into the hard-core snake man’s private collection”. Many of the snakes are valued at $1200 each, and all are breeding stock. Many had been bred for the first time and each had come from an egg because it is illegal to capture snakes in the wild. Mr Bertram has been robbed five times before in his 38 years at the business but says this was the most blatant and destructive, with the burglar on the premises for up to 40 minutes. “He used a pick or something to smash the front door and then the glass tanks and there was glass everywhere,” he said. “He obviously came prepared, running back and forth grabbing snakes - and he knew which cages to go to, so he had obviously cased the place. “It was pretty hectic in here for a while. He is an experienced snake person who knew what he was looking for.” CCTV footage shows a man in his 40s wearing a light coloured hoodie, light coloured

pants, dark tee-shirt, glasses and cap. Mr Bertram said the man may be known to others in the industry and appealed for help in identifying him. The trauma of the robbery – and its financial impact – was sinking in on Tuesday. The loss – which includes the snakes and associated equipment - was uninsured. “This hurts like hell,” Mr Bertram said. None of the snakes can be sold without a licence, but it is doubtful the snakes are destined for the overseas black market. “Getting them out of the country would be another big job in itself,” he said. “I think this is the work of a hardcore collector who stole them for his private collection.” It is believed another aquarium in Oakleigh was targeted the same night. Mr Bertram said he would consider offering a reward of a “couple of thousand” in an effort to catch the culprit. Anyone with information should contact Sergeant Dave Ingram, of Moorabbin police, on 9556 6565, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Treasurer’s eyes on main prize WHILE federal government MPs engage in flip-flop politics over who should be leading the country as prime minister, Seaford artist Tony Sowersby is concentrating his brand of satire on the Treasurer, Joe Hockey. One of Sowersby’s entries in this year’s Bald Archy Prize depicts a post-meal, dinner-suited Mr Hockey with a cigar and brandy balloon. But what stands out is that under the table, the seemingly well fed politician is also clutching a wooden club. Asked if he sees "Jovial Joe" as a contender, Sowersby replies: “No, not for the prime minister's job - don't be ridiculous - but for the Bald Archy prize.” Sowersby’s other entry for the prize portrays media commentator Andrew Bolt with an egg splattered over his front for his over-the-top accolades of Tony Abbott. “When the grateful Australian nation eventually erects a statue of Joe Hockey these words will appear on the base: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, And I will teach those leaning bludgers a lesson they’ll never forget. Sowersby gave “thanks” to Brian De Palma, Robert De Niro and the “Statue De Liberty” for inspiring his verse. Mr Hockey wields a baseball bat in Sowersby’s Bald Archy Prize entry in homage to director Brian De Palma’s 1987 The Untouchables movie featuring Robert De Niro as notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone. A professional artist for more than 30 years, Sowersby has won the People’s Choice for the Bald Archy Prize for satirical portraiture four times, including in 2014. In 2005 he won the prize with his portrait of George Pell and Tony Abbott entitled “The Cardinal with his Abbott”. Since the early 1980s Sowersby has worked in both community and public art, most often as a muralist, but also as a cartoonist and comic book writer and illustrator. He has painted and directed hundreds of murals, mainly on the Mornington Peninsula but also elsewhere in Victoria and in Tasmania, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Papua New Guinea. In 2013 a book of his satirical art was published, The Political Landscape. The 2015 winner of the $10,000 Bald Archy Prize will be announced in Sydney on 25 July. Fran Henke

FITNESS fanatics and those looking to contribute to a good cause will hit Chelsea beach next Sunday. More than 300 people will take part in the Anytime Fitness Melbourne Biathlon to raise funds for The Shane Warne Foundation which supports seriously ill and underprivileged children and teenagers around Australia. The biathlon combines an ocean swim and its signature sand run and is open to people of all ages and fitness levels. Participants can choose from a variety of distances from the Novice Challenge for first timers, Intermediate and the Iron Challenge for seasoned athletes. “The biathlon is a great way to kick off your New Year fitness goals, have fun with friends and family and most importantly support a fantastic cause,” event ambassador Tamsyn Lewis Manou said. The Commonwealth Games gold medallist will join the race and is looking forward to pounding the sand with fellow entrants. The event encourages every competitor the opportunity to challenge themselves and includes a Junior category for children under 12 and under 16. Registrations are open and all entrants are encouraged to create their own fundraising page with Everyday Hero to show their support for the great work The Shane Warne Foundation does to help kids in need. The Anytime Fitness Melbourne Biathlon will be held at Chelsea beach, 7.45am-9.15am on Sunday 22 February. See www.melbournebiathlon.com.au for registration and fundraising information.
DRIVERS should be aware a permanent speed limit change is in place in Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights. The speed limit has been reduced from 70km/h to 60km/h between Edithvale Rd and the Patterson River with effect from Wednesday 11 February. VicRoads metro south east regional director Aidan McGann said Wells Rd provides access to a busy industrial and residential area. “This section of road has a number of vehicles making turns into the industrial properties, including many trucks,” Mr McGann said. “It is a very busy road with 18,800 vehicles travelling in both directions each day, involving a mix of residential and industrial traffic.” This 3.7km section of Wells Rd also has a crash history, which Mr McGann said is considered when making a speed limit change. “For the 5-year period ending 30 June 2014, there were 23 casualty crashes recorded on Wells Rd between Edithvale Rd and the Patterson River,” Mr McGann said. “We consulted with The City of Kingston and Victoria Police and they are all supportive of reducing the speed from 70km/h to 60km/h to improve road safety and have a more consistent speed limit.” Newly installed “new speed limit” signs will indicate the speed limit change to motorists.

MPs have say on leadership woes Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ISAACS federal Labor MP Mark Dreyfus has slammed the “chaos and division” of the Abbott government after federal Liberal MPs voted 61-39 against a leadership spill on Monday morning. The former attorney-general said Prime Minister Tony Abbott had “promised he would run a stable and united government” before the Coalition won the 2013 federal election. A divided Labor government torn apart by leadership switches between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd lost the 2013 election to the Liberal National
Coalition led by Mr Abbott. Mr Abbott now faces growing internal Liberal Party dissent with many backbenchers agitating for a change in leadership since opinion polls consistently showing many could lose their seats if Mr Abbott leads them to the next federal election in late 2016. Former Coalition opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull, ousted by Mr Abbott in 2009 by the margin of just one Liberal MP’s vote, is seen as the most likely challenger if a future spill motion succeeds. “While ‘the Tony and Malcolm Show’ plays out in Canberra, community groups in Isaacs are having their funding cut and students

are being told that they should pay $100,000 for their degree,” Mr Dreyfus said. “I call on Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and the rest of the government to end the charade and start working for Australia.” Neighbouring Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said the Abbott government “is stable and focused on building a strong, stable economy and creating jobs”. “I am committed to getting on with this important work implementing our economic recovery plan, creating new opportunities and continuing to deliver local election commitments,” he said. “In coming months this will include
working on a small business package for the budget and other measures to create the very best environment for businesses to thrive.” Mr Billson, the federal small business minister, has made no secret of his support for the embattled Prime Minister, using social media – dubbed “electronic graffiti” by Mr Abbott – to show his backing for Mr Abbott before Monday’s leadership spill vote. His cabinet colleague, Flinders MP and environment minister Greg Hunt, had been less publicly visible online with his support for Mr Abbott but did say he would vote against a leadership spill last week. On Tuesday a spokesperson for
Mr Hunt said the Minister said the Prime Minister has his support and expects him to lead the Liberal Party to the next election. “The spill motion has been dealt with, and we’re now getting on with the job of delivering for Australian families,” Mr Hunt said in a statement to The News. “People want and expect us to focus on jobs, families and the economy – and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.” Mr Dreyfus believed the Liberals’ leadership troubles are not at an end. “Tony Abbott might have dodged a leadership spill for now but the Liberals remain deeply divided,” he said.

New heights in gas search KINGSTON beachgoers may have noticed a large drilling rig being towed through Port Phillip to Western Port last week. The “legs” of the West Telesto soared 170 metres above the deck and attendant tugs, Skandi Atlantic, Go Capella and Keera. Destined to look for gas under Bass Strait, the self-elevating drilling unit was delivered to Port Phillip from Singapore the previous week by the semi-submersible heavy transport ship MV Target. The converted oil tanker is able to use its buoyancy tanks to lower and raise itself in the water to allow heavy cargoes, such as drilling platforms to be taken on board. Western Port harbourmaster Shane Vedamuttu said the drill rig would remain at the Anchorage off Phillip Island for up to four weeks before being towed to Bass Strait. Origin Energy, in a notification to shipping, said the rig would take two days to clear Port Phillip, eventually being taken to the Origin Energy Yolla gas platform. While in Western Port, the West Telesto’s legs will be lowered and pinned into position to stabilise the rig while it is fitted with supplies and equipment for the drilling works at the Yolla platform. The West Telesto is described as a self-elevating drilling unit designed for all-year, Central North Sea, harshenvironment operation in approximately 400 feet (122 metres) of water. The West Telesto has quarters for 140 and deck area of 2845 square metres.
Police patrol Beach thefts THEFTS from beachgoers concern Kingston police. To warn of the danger they will place mobile flashing signs atop trailers on roads leading to beaches. Sergeant Dave Ingram said mobile phones, wallets and, in some cases, jewellery, was being snatched from unattended bags while their owners were in the water. On Saturday evening a GoPro camera and accessories were stolen from a bag at Aspendale beach while the owner was swimming. On the same day, between 4-5pm, thieves on the foreshore near Avondale Ave, Chelsea, stole a bag containing a wallet with cash and a mobile phone while the owner was in the water. Soon after, a bag containing a mobile phone, purse and jewellery was snatched near Chelsea Life Saving Club. Sergeant Ingram said the thieves “tended to blend in” as no one saw the thefts or could give descriptions.
He’s off Gas search: The drilling rig West Telesto was towed down Port Phillip last week en route to Western Port to be readied for work in Bass Strait. Inset, the rig arrived in Melbourne aboard the semi-submerisble, MV Target. Pictures: Andrew Mackinnon
While under tow by the tugs the rig’s speed was limited to four knots or less, well below the eight to nine knots that the MV Target could have travelled on the way from Singapore. For the technically minded, the Telesto’s manufacturers say it “represents the latest generation of high efficiency jack-ups suitable for operations worldwide”. “The rig offers numerous improvements including increased deckspace compared to other designs,
accommodation for 140 men, the ability to jack with 100 per cent preload, optimised pipe handling to facilitate ‘off-line’ stand-building, more powerful mud pumps and a dual mud system which will allow for the efficient and simultaneous handling of drilling and completion fluids.” It was built at the Dalian shipyard, China in 2012 and sails under the flag of Panama.
A MAN about to be sentenced at Moorabbin Court over various offences – and possibly fearing jail time - “did a runner” along Nepean Hwy towards Hampton last Thursday around noon. Police took off in hot pursuit and nabbed the man soon afterwards. He was returned – out of breath - to court to face the music. The man, who had been on bail, was charged with escape and related offences.
On a roll A ROLL of copper wire weighing 100kg and valued at $800 was stolen from a Braeside factory on Friday night. Thieves cut a hole in a rear fence to gain access to the Austech wire and cable factory during the night shift to grab their haul. They also
attempted to steal a 400kg roll but it tipped over and they were unable to lift it. The smaller roll was carried 500 metres to a truck and driven away. Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable Phillip Wilkinson on 9556 6111.
Takings stolen THIEVES stole a supermarket’s daily takings from a house in Narelle Drive, Aspendale Gardens, on 5 February. About $10,000 was taken in what police describe as a “targeted” raid. The thieves entered through a window at the rear of the house and broke locks on bedroom doors to snatch the money between 7am-8.30pm.
Unwelcome visitors POLICE from Moorabbin and Chelsea arrested two men on Sunday evening after they allegedly broke into a house in Kingston Rd, Heatherton, and assaulted the male occupant. The parties are believed to be known to each other. Property was allegedly smashed with a baseball bat in the incident and the victim allegedly physically assaulted. After he ran from the house his car was smashed up with the bat. One of the men has been charged with aggravated burglary and bailed and the other has been released pending further inquiries.
Traffic stop Did you know? A MOTORIST cannot drive in a bus lane unless driving a public bus. Exemptions exist, but generally only for a maximum distance of 50 metres. Road rule 154 prescribes a $148 on-the-spot fine or up to $420 at court.

Fears over nurse cuts Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au
Friends reunited: Alison Bennett, left, and Claire Dawson met again by chance and rekindled a high school friendship after 20 years, discovering a common commitment to see stronger action on climate change.
Banking on climate change action A GLOBAL campaign to lobby banks to not invest in fossil fuels is coming to Frankston. Global Divestment Day, a movement to try to “weaken the political power of the fossil fuel industry”, will hold its first day of action on Saturday 14 February. The Frankston event, to be held at White St Mall, will be one of 300 around the world. The day has been organised by 350.org, “a grassroots movement to take on the fossil fuel industry and solve the climate crisis”. Frankston activists Claire Dawson and Alison Bennett are inviting Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents concerned about climate change to attend to show banks Australians want their investment in fossil fuel to end. “It’s for anyone who wants to use constructive means to combat climate change especially when the political process has happened so
slowly,” Ms Dawson said. “People are saying we can’t wait for the politicians so this is a way for consumers to adopt a more market-driven approach by saying ‘we’re going to move our money’ [if a bank invests in the fossil fuels industry]. “Large international banks have pulled out of proposed expansions such as Abbot Point [coal project] near the Great Barrier Reef ... but Australian banks are still quite happily talking about lending money.” The campaign has already had some success in the United States where the Rockefellers Brothers Fund announced this year it would withdraw its investments from fossil fuel. All are welcome to attend the Global Di vestment Day at 9.30am on Saturday 14 February and can register at gofossilfree.org Neil Walker
THE “biggest concern” for nurses hit by the Royal District Nursing Service’s proposed staff shakeup is the possible negative impact on patient care. The organisation last week announced it would close its Frankston offices in Beach St in April and likely close its Rosebud offices in Cairns St. They are among 14 suburban offices whose functions will be consolidated into four regional hubs – with the closest to Frankston and the peninsula being at Moorabbin. The revamp will result in six nurses losing their jobs at Rosebud as well as two admin staff and one domestic staffer. Six G3 nursing positions will be downgraded to G2. Frankston staff cuts are unknown. Nurses are also concerned they will be redeployed from specialist nursing roles into more generalised positions, on lesser wages, and into different geographical areas to which they currently work. They are unhappy their request that the RDNS maintain its workforce status quo “until we resolve all matters related to the proposed changes” was denied. But a RDNS spokeswoman said no frontline nursing staff would be affected by the relocation of administrative functions to the new regional hubs. Queries about staffing changes had been “communicated directly with service users, including a letter to all of our clients and a telephone hotline”. The spokeswoman said improved technological tools for home-visiting nurses would “enhance the high standard of care that our clients receive in their own homes.” She said it was incorrect to say RDNS offices were “being replaced by mobile teams equipped with laptops to make house calls”. “The service was set up 130 years ago to
provide nursing in people’s houses: that’s what it has always done, and will continue to do. “The only thing that has changed is that frontline staff are being assigned into new care teams focused on smaller geographic areas, and also the relocation of administrative functions to four new regional hubs.” A rival in-home-care company last week criticised the RDNS cuts, saying the need and demand for local offices was greater than ever “and for the RDNS to be putting technology ahead of patient health is a disgrace”. Prestige Inhome Care CEO Nick McDonald, which has offices in Mornington, said the level and availability of personal, face-to-face, quality interaction would be “drastically reduced as companies like RDNS try to further expand and adopt technology and forget about those they are servicing”. “The RDNS may argue that adopting technology and closing local offices is the way of the times and more efficient, but how do you explain this to the sick, elderly man or the young woman sick with cancer who looks forward to this personal interaction/care service in their home. “This could be the one thing that is helping to keep them alive.” The registered nurse and community care expert works in the same industry, but says he is “part of a growing movement towards in-home/ community care support for that personal, quality and reliable level of care”. “We are actually expanding our services and adding nurses and adding offices throughout Melbourne and Victoria as we genuinely value the care of our patients/clients over expensive expansion and technology innovations,” he said. “We are open to discussing taking on some of these nurses that have lost their jobs to ensure that patient care is not compromised and we can continue to provide such a vital community service. Just like we continue to put on new directors of nursing - not cut them.”
Gatto collector was ‘bodyguard to the stars’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au WESTERN Port’s latest business tenant is a man with a colourful and celebrity studded past. Anthony Swords, managing director of Gatto Corporate Solutions, has leased office space at 12 High St, Hastings and will open for business this week (‘Gatto’s mate gets ready to collect’, The News 4/2/15). Gatto Corporate Solutions and its affiliated Victorian Racing Collections are primarily debt collection firms linked to underworld figure Mick Gatto, although the former head of the notorious Carlton Crew, the criminal gang brought to TV screens in the Un-
derbelly series, does not have a current stake in the businesses. Mr Swords says Mr Gatto is his “mentor”. The businessman has headed up Gatto Corporate Solutions since mid-2011 and the Hastings office is a “satellite office” for the company. The company’s website states: “So you read the papers, heard the name, perhaps even watched a TV series, in turn you have googled the name Gatto. Perhaps you have been told ‘get Gatto to solve your problems’ but who is Gatto? If your business has a problem, our business has the solution. Gatto Corporate Solutions Pty Ltd is a professional business solutions company specialising in collecting money, mediations and pre litigation.”
Years before he became Gatto Corporate Solution’s sole shareholder, Mr Swords was a bodyguard for several celebrities between 2000 and 2007. “I had the Australian Idol contract for a couple of years so looked after Shannon Noll and Guy Sebastian,” he said. Richard Branson, Elton John and “anyone who came into Victoria at the time when I was working” were also flanked by Mr Swords. “I worked on The Footy Show for four years for Channel 9 so I did all their personal protection when the stars would come in.” Perhaps the biggest “celebrity” Mr Swords has met is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. He said he attended a function in the UK last year and “the Queen stopped and said hello to me”.
“My mother was Scottish and she’d roll over in her grave if I didn’t ask for Scotland back so I did.” Early last year, the Herald Sun reported Mr Swords had allegedly threatened the wife of the agent of former AFL Sydney Swans star Warwick Capper. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court ordered Mr Swords “to undergo anger management counselling and do 150 hours of community service”. “Which Scotsman hasn’t?” Mr Swords said. “You raise your voice in Australia and you get sent down for anger management.” He said it was “thrown out” and he ultimately did not have to attend anger management classes. Mr Swords was reportedly trying to recover disputed money related to the

Mr Dowler did not wish to comment about the lease “for privacy reasons” but said the landlord had approved the two-year lease application when it was put to him. Harcourts’ Hastings office is located next door to Gatto Corporate Solution’s new High St premises. nLast week’s article ‘Gatto’s mate gets ready to collect’ (The News 4/2/15) stated the office was leased by Century 21 real estate agent Chris Watt.

Celebrating life: the good, bad and memorable A LIFETIME of memories – happy and sad - makes Jessie Hand’s conversations interesting. There were good times and bad, of course, as well as struggle and reward - but always an acceptance that this was life and you just got on with it. The popular centenarian was honoured with a special afternoon tea yesterday at Lifeview Argyle Court, Chelsea, among family and friends. Mrs Hand has two daughters, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was born in Barkley St, West Brunswick on 4 February 1915, at “Auntie Ginnie’s” house. Her mother was Ellen Sophia Richmond and her father Charles Joseph Harris who were married in 1905. She and four sisters: Gladys, Nell, Myrtle and Amie, attended East Brunswick Primary School and Mentone Primary where she completed the 8th grade. They had ink-wells in each desk and she said she “hated school”. She thought her family was rich because they had a house, a car and a baby. Mrs Hand’s recollections of growing up in Mentone and Mordialloc often relate to her father, who had a string of businesses and varying degrees of luck – both good and bad. Dad once owned what Mrs Hand termed a “clay hole” where he made roof tiles and bricks carted by 10 draft horses. The horses sometimes got stuck deep in the mud and, being so heavy and unable to move, had to be put down.
He also had an estate agency and, later, a fish-and-chip shop at Black Rock. The family lived behind the shop and her father fished at night for the next day’s catch. One stormy night the poor man got swept off course and a young Jessie recalls walking along the cliffs with her grief-stricken mother searching for him. Fortunately, he managed to walk home unscathed, having had to leave his boat near Williamstown. Dad then became a carpenter, building houses for the family to live in and selling them. The last one was in Beach St, Frankston. The simplest times were often the happiest. She recalls sitting around the piano at home singing, or listening to the wireless. Mrs Hand’s earliest memories of the Great Depression in 1929 were of “swaggies” humping their “blueys” (packs) and sleeping rough under bridges or in school shelter sheds while in search of work. They begged for food at farmhouses or schools along the way. People who couldn’t pay their rent were evicted from their rented homes and later given food vouchers by welfare groups. The unemployed were paid sustenance “susso” but had to do hard manual work on the roads to earn it. These were bad times – degrading times, she said. A cruise on the Old Dimboola with a group of girlfriends when she was 18 was “the highlight” of her life as it was the first time away from her parents. Mrs Hand joined Mentone Life
Saving Club aged 18 where her father was president. Girls were social members only and not allowed to perform rescues. At night-time sing-alongs on the beach her strict father used to follow the girls and sit up the back to make sure no hanky panky was going on. Mrs Hand met her husband Fred at a dance by the bay. They were married in late 1941 when she was 26 and lived in Springvale. Lynne was born in 1945 and Carol in 1949 and the family lived on poultry farms in Springvale and later South Clayton. She had to do all the hard labour as Fred was crippled with arthritis. He took care of the girls – doing all the things a mother would normally do. Fred died aged 63 in 1978. Mrs Hand cared also for his parents and her own who all moved to their poultry farm until well into their old age. After living at Phillip Island with Fred, Mrs Hand moved into a unit at Chelsea. In her 70s she moved into a retirement village in Patterson Lakes and then, in 2004, she moved into Argyle Hostel. She used to visit friends there and “liked the feel of the place” she now calls home.

ONE of the areas original properties, this beautiful home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; circa 1920, has been superbly maintained with extensions and renovations added to bring it to life in the 21st century. The improvements have been carefully planned to add comfort to everyday living, and do not to detract from the period style that remains as popular as ever with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home buyers. Good examples of this are the four airconditioning units throughout the home, along with gas ducted heating and a stainless-steel dishwasher fitted to
the kitchen and extensions made now give the home an impressive four bedrooms, including the stunning main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite featuring double shower and marble topped twin vanity unit. From the welcoming hallway you are led past a lovely parlour room with open fire place and then into a larger space that incorporates the splendid timber kitchen and interestingly, the ladder up to the attic which would be perfect for extra sleeping quarters or seasonal storage. From the kitchen
there is a dining area, and a magnificent sunken formal lounge also has a roaring open fireplace set into a brick feature wall. Full length verandahs run along the front and back of the home, giving the facade true character. Other external features are the volcanic rock gazebo in the front garden and an excellent brick barbecue with fireplace and chimney as part of a larger entertaining area. The trees and gardens have taken their shape over the years and are the perfect complement to the 1745-square metre block.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Hastings railway works in full swing HOUSEHOLDERS residing within the garbage area of Frankston are notified that they must provide proper lids to all garbage tins. Failing to do so the contractor for removal of same will be instructed to report same. *** MOTOR Garage Pty. Ltd. has opened a branch garage at Mornington and installed two cars therein. The garage is in charge of Mr. W Bradbury, an expert mechanic and driver, late of Nagambie. *** THE Moorooduc Progress Association intend celebrating the opening of their new building on Wednesday, 7th April, by holding a sale of gifts, at which patrons and friends are cordially invited to be present. The fete will open at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. *** YOUNG men wishing to learn rifle shooting are requested to attend a public meeting in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening next, called at the instance of the Frankston Rifle Club, when addresses will he given by several gentlemen interested in the movement. *** THE following local candidates were successful at the Commonwealth public service examination held on 9th January for the appointment of telegraph messengers:— Mornington —Albert Coxhall, 364 marks: Clyde J. H. Byles, 301. Alexander C. Hutchins, 225. Sorrento — Morris L. Copoloy, 292 marks: Alfred R. Eldred, 241. ***
MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a large clearing sale of superior house hold furniture and effects on Wednesday next, on the premises, corner of Fiocchi Avenue and Melbourne road, by order of Mrs Crockett, who is leaving the district, consisting of the whole of her superior furnishings, being the contents of a 10 roomed villa. The sale will commence at 2 o’clock sharp. *** THE prize list of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association for their forthcoming show, which takes place on 10th March, will be published in our next issue. The committee have met with generous support from the general public and the donations given this year are quite equal to any previously given. At the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings council a motion was carried to invite the State Governor to open the Show, and if His Excellency decides to accept the invitation it will doubtless mean a large influx in the number at those who attend. *** THE Treasurer of the Frankston Patriotic Fund desires to acknowledge a donation of £9 2s 1d from the Frankston Campers’ New Year’s Eve Carnival, through Mr C. P. Watson, the manager of the State Savings Bank. The result is very gratifying. The carnival, of which we gave a full report at the time, was entertaining and amusing and served besides to keep the more volatile individuals away from the mischief which has been done on some New Year’s Eves in the past.
The amount has been earmarked for the Belgian Relief Fund. *** ON February 6th the Toxteth Concert Co, headed by Mr George Cowley, the well known singer, gave a successful concert in the Carrum Hall. The entertainment was up to the usual quality given by this company, encores being the order of the evening. Miss McNair and Miss Edith Thomas acted ‘My lady’s diamonds’ in a brisk manner, which highly amused the audience. The Toxteth glee party gave several party songs and proved a harmonious item. Mr Percy Conroy was the humorist and proved a capable one. Miss Mabel Down, a young composer, played several piano duets, and was an efficient accompanist. Mr George Cowley, one of Melbourne’s foremost singers, sang in his usual artistic style. This singer has one of the best voices heard in this district, and was accorded a hearty reception. Miss Edith Thomas recited with feeling and is an actress of no mean order. The sketch given at the end by Mr Geoffrey Fayle and Miss Kitty Gordon produced roars of laughter. ‘All for a sister’ was the name of the sketch. The acting of these two artists was realistic and clever, for in sketch work they reach a high standard, being comedy actors of repute. Mr Arthur Shaw, a dramatic baritone, gave several solos in fine style, having good tone and quality in his voice. The Toxteth Concert Coy. will
appear in Frankston and Mornington in March. *** THE work of improvement at the Hastings railway station, is now in full progress, and when completed the accommodation for the public and the station staff will be more than doubled. A lamp and oil shed has been erected and the station master will have a separate exit from his office to the platform. These great improvements have been brought about solely by the persistent efforts of the Westernport Progress Association, continued through a period of two years. *** ORCHARDISTS are now busy pick ing and despatching fruit to Melbourne where there is a good demand and high prices for fruit, and as there are good crops this season will be a prosperous one for fruit growers. The bi-weekly produce market established by Messrs Brody and Mason at Frankston has so far proved a decided benefit to fruit and vegetable growers. *** MR Anderson, who was head master at the Mornington Junction State school for many years, has been transferred to Northcote. His place is being filled temporarily by Miss Brennan. *** THE hot and dry weather experienced lately has had a bad effect on the roads, which are now covered with dust and loose metal. A good fall of rain would remedy this to a great extent. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 February, 1915.

Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE appointment of Mr C.W. Grant, of Mornington Junction as a J.P. has been gazetted. *** Mr J. Hall, storekeeper at Seymour, visited Frankston last weekend and purchased a building allotment in this locality. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason held their usual monthly market at Somerville on Wednesday last, when there was a fair yarding. *** MR E. Quiggin, one of Shepparton’s leading ironmongers, is at present spending a few weeks holiday at Frankston House. *** THE Shire of Frankston and Hastings are calling for tenders in this issue, returnable on Wednesday next, for sheeting, etc on Cranbourne road. Tenders are to be addressed to Cr W. J. Oates, Frankston. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their next fortnightly produce sale at Frankston Mart on the 24th inst (not the 17th), on account of the firm holding a clearing sale of furniture on the latter date. *** INTENDING competitors at the Flinders Naval Base Sport, which take place on the 6th March, are notified that nominations close on Monday, 22nd February, and acceptances on the 2nd of March. ***

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
A long day’s journey Into Knight By Stuart McCullough AT first, I couldn’t believe my ears. But after hours of interrogation and a polygraph test, I now accept that they were telling the truth. Prince Philip has, indeed, been awarded a knighthood. Like most people, my first response was to say ‘about time’. It’s only right that someone who doesn’t live here should be bestowed our highest honour. My only concern is that it doesn’t go far enough. Were it up to me, Prince Phil would top the Hottest One Hundred, win the Brownlow and take out first place in the Moomba Birdman Rally. Then it struck me; for mere mortals a knighthood is quite an honour. But if you’re already a prince, isn’t a knighthood kind of a demotion? Here’s my thinking. In chess, the King outranks everyone, including a knight. Although there’s no Prince, I think it’s fair to assume that in the pecking order of life, being the Queen’s ‘plus one’ gets you a better table at the local Indian restaurant and take away joint than having ‘Sir’ slapped onto your name like a dodgy extension built without approval from the local Council. This could well be the most spectacular ‘up yours’ in living memory. It’s hard to imagine a greater insult to the Queen than to take her husband down a couple of notches. The cruelty doesn’t stop there, either. Spare a moment for what poor Phil has to endure in order to receive the honour. First of all, you can’t tell me that this doesn’t give the Queen an extraordinary amount of leverage when discussion turns to who should
take the recycling out on bin night. At the first sign of hesitation, all Liz has to do is casually suggest that – just maybe – somebody’s not that interested in becoming a knight after all. As he trudges down the stairs, empty milk containers and empty dog food cans piled up under each arm, the Prince will surely curse our nation.
There are other problems too. Take a moment to imagine the day itself. Prince Philip has to get down on bended knee in front of his wife. It used to be that knights would be anointed using a sword but, these days, I believe that for safety reasons the Monarch uses a laser pointer. After the deed is done, his wife will then call upon him
to ‘arise, sir knight’. At age 93, being asked to get down on your knees and get up again in quick time is an act of unprecedented malice. But that’s the least of Phil’s problems. I know for a fact that, on Tuesday nights, Prince Philip is part of a Trivia team at the local pub that competes for half price drinks and a family sized meat tray. The team, presently going under the name ‘The Buckingham Brainiacs’ currently sit third after eight weeks. His teammates – Clever Trevor, ‘Stinky’ Lou and Denis ‘the Disco Pistol’ Bosustow – are destined to give him all kinds of grief. Every chance they get, they’ll be slipping LuLu’s ‘To Sir With Love’ on the jukebox. It will be one of those pranks that only becomes funnier with repetition. It will be the darkest period of his life since ‘My Name is Prince’ was first released. Then there’s the paperwork. Suddenly, his driver’s license, passport and Blockbuster membership card are all totally out of date. He’ll need to get his new name on the utility bills if he every wants to rent a DVD again. For the next few weeks and until this mess is sorted out, there’ll be no more new releases with a take away caprociosa and a six pack on Friday nights like there used to be. Instead, he and the missus will be stuck with watching repeats of ‘A Touch of Frost’, eating tuna from a can and sucking down on a soda stream like the rest of us. I feel foolish – I hadn’t realized we were giving away titles to foreigners. It is, quite obviously, a wonder-
ful thing. This means that Britney Spears can now receive the damehood she so richly deserves. Perhaps being knighted can be given away as a prize for whoever is left standing in ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’. Or as a door prize for the studio audience of ‘Hotseat’. That said, do we really need to limit ourselves to knights and dames? Surely there are other quality titles we can bestow. Like ‘Dude’, ‘Thorpedo’ or ‘The Fonz’. Personally, were it up to me, I’d like to bestow the title of ‘Residential / Light Commercial with a Drainage Easement’. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t impress the grandkids. But for Phil, it’s the worst kind of gift. One the recipient didn’t ask for, doesn’t need and for which he has absolutely no use. We can only hope that he tried to look happy when he heard the big news. That said, if it doesn’t end up in the shed along with his old tennis racket, the busted BMX and board games that have crucial pieces missing, it will probably be re-gifted. Before you know it, Prince Phil will have passed his knighthood on to Clever Trevor, ‘Stinky’ Lou or Denis ‘the Disco Pistol’ Bosustow. Or, worse still, he might pass it on to another member of his family. Who knows where the thing might end up? Perhaps we can all learn something from the experience. Next time the idea of knighting someone else’s royal family comes up, the answer will be simple. It will be: no sir. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

WE LOVE URIAH, HEEPS By Simon Burke
GET ready to welcome back to Australia one of the biggest rock bands of the 1970s on March 22 as Uriah Heep perform live at the Chelsea Heights hotel. Once known as one of ‘The Big Four’ alongside Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, the British rock group have been tearing up the music scene for over 45 years with their unique, progressive, hard sound. Uriah Heep have been a mainstay of the rock circuit for four decades, famed for their accomplished musical talents, diverse song writing and powerful live performances. It is for this reason that Australian audiences have taken them into their hard rocking hearts with the band scoring consecutive charting albums and singles in the country. What’s more, in 2003 Uriah Heep enlisted the vocal talents of none other than Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes on the ‘Relentless’ album, thus cementing their affinity to this country. Original member and lead guitarist Mick Box still helms this incredible outfit and played a part in all 23 studio albums that includes Demons and Wizards (1972), Abominog (1982), and their most recent release, 2011’s Into The Wild. Their 40 million record sales worldwide speaks for itself. The band have retained a cult following and a ‘never say die’ spirit during constant upheaval throughout their history and their performance at the 2013 Download Festival in the UK was hailed as the highlight of the weekend. If the history of Uriah Heep proves anything, it is that the band will endure, with their diary for the foreseeable future as full as ever. So, be quick to get your tickets to Uriah Heep, at the Chelsea Heights Hotel,Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd Chelsea Heights, March 22, as the groups last tour of Australia in 2011 resulted in sell out shows. Ticket information at chelseaheightshotel.com.au.

Great day for Prossers PROVINCIAL
By IT Gully Pines dealt Mt Eliza a further blow on Saturday when it taught it a cricket lesson in MPCA Provincial. And it was career defining for one Pines player who has always offered so much – Jake Prosser. After taking five wickets the week before with the ball, Prosser walked out and clubbed his maiden century, eventually falling for 114. Prosser shared a 100 plus partnership with his skipper Ricky Ramsdale, who made 103. The Piners smashed Mt Eliza to all parts of the ground and easily covered its total of 186. Pines was even-
tually bowled out in the 81st over for 344. Harley Peace-Stirling also contributed 40 to the total. Tom Ewing was the pick of the Mt Eliza bowlers, snaring 3/72. The Mounties are now third bottom on the ladder, a game behind Pines and Rye, who themselves have struggled this season. The end of the year can’t come quick enough for Mt Eliza. Further down the highway at Moorooduc, Jake Prosser’s younger brother Matt was creating some records of his own for Langwarrin. Matt Prosser top scored for his side last week against the Ducs with 66 and on Saturday, with ball in hand, he tweaked himself 5/62 to give him his
best figures in First XI cricket. Langwarrin recorded an easy victory over the Ducs, bowling them out for 179 in reply to their own 7/274. Ross Cordeaux top scored for Moorooduc with 47. Adrian Mack and Dwayne Doig each collected two wickets for the Kangas. Crib Point put themselves back into finals calculations after recording an outright win against Heatherhill. The Magpies recorded their second outright win of the season, having them again knocking on the door of the top four. The Pies rolled the Hills for 138 and 87 with Brad Davidson taking nine wickets for the match.
Mornington maintained its pressure on the top four and in doing so knocked Baxter off the top of the ladder. The Doggies are still not inside the top four but are just half a game from top spot. On Saturday, chasing 152 for victory, the Dogs got there with four wickets in hand. Ben Clements top scored for the Dogs with 43 while Brad McDonald was next best with 42. Dale Irving was at his best with the ball for Baxter with 5/31 from 21 overs but it still wasn’t good enough to hand his side victory. Peninsula Old Boys did all it needed to to get the 12 points against Rye
and claim top spot on the ladder. Resuming on the second day at 2/34, the Old Boys managed to get to 3/144 before sending Rye back in in a quest for outright victory. Rye finished with 1/56 before stumps were drawn. Long Island maestro Scott Phillips was at it again on Saturday, this time bowling his side to victory against Sorrento. After top scoring with the bat last week with an unbeaten 73, he took the new ball on Saturday and pickedup 6/49 to help his side bowl out the Sorras for 171. It gave the Islanders a 100-run victory.
Still a tight race in District DISTRICT
By IT Gully THE log jam at the top of the MPCA District ladder continues after round nine was completed on Saturday. Main Ridge kept is finals hopes well and truly alive after recording a wonderful and commanding victory against the previously undefeated Red Hill. Skipper Brad Rossborough was magnificent in his side’s victory, beginning the day unbeaten on 32 and still standing at the end, still unbeaten on 180. Main Ridge made 6/303 to beat the Hillmen by almost 200 runs. Somerville resumed at 3/17 on Saturday against Carrum, chasing 122 for victory, however, Justin Allsop and Aaron Kaddatz put a stop to any fairytale victory for the Lions. Allsop was superb for his 91 and Kaddatz provided the much needed support late in the day to make a timely 27 and ensure his side pushed past the Lions’ score. Somerville was all out for 172. Lachy Dobson and Jackson Fry each picked up three wickets for Carrum. Mt Martha finished Seaford Tigers’ season and in doing so maintained its own position in the top four. After setting the Tigers 228 for victory last week, the Reds were able to roll the home side for 177. Corey Hand is the backbone of the Tigers and he did his bit again on Saturday with a top score of 39, while Ash Mills hit 30. There is still a glimmer of hope for Seaford in their quest for finals after successfully defending 9/274 against Delacombe Park. Seaford rolled the Parkers for 161, Paul Hartle back to some of his best with 4/45 and Aaron Peebles picking up 3/56. John Spencer top scored for the Parker with 54. Baden Powell recorded a comfortable victory over Boneo. Chasing 156 for victory, the Braves made 222 with Elia Carter top scoring with 97. Rhys Elmi also was among the runs with 64. In the final game, Hastings was well beaten by Flinders. The Blues were bowled out for just 63 in their chase of 194 for victory. Matt Foy top scored for the Blues with 25, while Blake Hogan-Keogh was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 4/10, giving him 16 wickets for the season.

Stonecats back in Stars come SUB-DISTRICT
By IT Gully Frankston YCW has jumped back into the MPCA Sub District top four and given itself some breathing space after picking up an outright win against Ballam Park. The Stonecats only made 123 in reply to Ballam Park’s first innings score of 58 on the first day of the match last week. However they went into Saturday staring at the outright win. The Knights resumed at 4/34, still 31 behind with six wickets in hand. They finished with 165, giving the Stonecats plenty of work to do. John Plakourakis top scored for the Knights with 79. Andrew Kitson finished with 11 wickets for the match after picking up six in the first innings and five in the second dig. Needing just over 100 runs to claim an outright, the Stonecats got there with three wickets in hand. Things looked grim when they slumped to 6/65. However Kitson and Luke Hutchison got them over the line with some solid batting. Tootgarook had no problems defending its 9/315 against Dromana. The Frogs bowled out the Hoppers for 140 before sending them back in immediately in the hope of getting an outright
win. The Hoppers hung on to finish at 3/35. Corey DeBruyn was the best of Tootgarook’s bowlers with 4/51 while Zac Stevenson claimed 3/28. Pearcedale got the job done against Carrum Downs and in doing so remained on top of the ladder. The win also knocked the Cougars outside of the top four. Resuming at 1/40, chasing Carrum Downs’ 105, the Panthers declared at 7/169 before having another crack at the visitors. Brad Trotter top scored for the Panthers with 50. The Cougars finished the day at 7/105 and avoided the outright loss. Chris Dew snared 5/27 in the second innings. Rosebud made light work of Balnarring and finished their season. Chasing just 117 for victory, the Buds resumed at 1/16 and cruised all afternoon to finish with 7/169. Tyabb went for the outright victory against Skye after making 8/299 in their first innings. Skye was bowled out for just 55 in their first innings with Tyabb century maker Brodie Bennett claiming 3/8 and Jack Doman picking up 3/13 in his third senior match. Skye hung on in their second innings, crawling to 1/49 before the match was called.

Did you know... you can view our papers online
By IT Gully MATT Foon will lead the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association in the Country Week Provincial squad at the championships that kick off this week around Victoria. There are some new faces in the squad adding to the ones we have been used to seeing over the journey, which speaks volumes about the strength and depth of the competition. Peninsula Old Boys star Matt Hyden was an obvious choice after accumulating plenty of runs this season. The competition’s best player, Scott Phillips, who has 400 runs this season and 38 wickets, will not play for the MPCA. Neither will Nick Jewell, who has 337 runs this season. Crib Point bowling dynamo Brad Davidson has been rewarded for a fine season and 33 wickets with a call-up, while Lachy Dobson from Carrum has also been included in the team. Andrew ‘AJ’ King is an obvious starter after claiming 31 wickets this season.
Corey Harris and Ben Clements have 396 and 395 runs respectively this season and they are in the team, as is Shaun Foster from Carrum, who has been named vice captain. Rob Hearn is the other Magpie in the team. Langwarrin’s Andy Johnson is in the team. He has had a very consistent season with 362 runs and will be a foil for opposition in the middle order. Country Week veterans Wade Pelzer, Luke Popov, Bobby Wilson and Justin Bridgeman makeup the rest of the star-studded squad. The Development Squad is also packed with some in-form players. POB’s Jon Forest will lead the young team, which includes Liam O’Connor (Sorrento), Spencer Byatt (Boneo), David Eaton (Crib Point), Jackson Fry (Carrum), Luke Hewitt (Hastings), Damien Lawrence (Seaford), Brent Martin (Red Hill), Aaron Paxton (Long Island), Leigh Poholke (Sorrento), Brad Trotter (Pearcedale), Nick Wilcox (Pines), Dylan O’Malley (POB), Adam Gailitis (POB), Matt Davie (Langwarrin).
