MAJOR changes to Kingston City Council’s green wedge policy were made at last week’s council meeting, with councillors deciding vast tracts of green wedge land should be opened up to development to give the area “a unique semi-rural feel”. Councillors voted five-four to proceed with a planning scheme amendment that would lower the minimum lot size on land between Heatherton Rd and Lower Dandenong Rd from 4 hectares to 2000 square metres. This could pave the way for residential development in the area. The amendment will be sent to state planning minister Matthew Guy for approval after consultation with council officers, consultants Planisphere and land owners. Five councillors also supported a proposal to rezone 53 hectares of green wedge land within the boundary of Braeside Park, Southern Golf Club, Springvale and Governor Rds to “an appropriate residential zone”. The planning minister will be asked for advice on whether the Urban Growth Boundary would need to be moved, if state planning department approval for the rezoning is granted. Council spent about $300,000 of ratepayers’ money on a Kingston Green Wedge Plan drawn up by consultancy firm Planisphere in 2012. The plan’s recommendations were adopted by council in September that year as “a framework for action to guide the future management of the green wedge”.

The green wedge has subsequently become a contentious issue among councillors, amid accusations of a lack of transparency when making decisions on the future use of green wedge land. Several notices of motions introduced by councillors in recent months have sought to take land out of Kingston’s green wedge, where development of any kind is extremely restricted. Councillors have been divided on the future use of Kingston green wedge land. Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, Geoff Gledhill, John Ronke and mayor Paul Peulich support moves to relax restrictions on development in the green wedge to give more options to residents and businesses who own land in the area, including those who now find agricultural operations to be commercially unviable. Crs Tamara Barth, David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West oppose green wedge development in the enviornmentally sensitive zone. The latest move to rezone land out of the green wedge and into the Urban Growth Boundary was contained within a one-page notice of motion introduced by Cr Tamsin Bearsley at the latest council meeting. The meeting was suspended for five minutes when several councillors complained they had not seen a copy of the proposal. Photocopies were then given to the councillors who had not seen Cr Bearsley’s proposal before a vote on the issue, split five-four along pro and anti-green wedge development lines.

LETTERS Bay Trail bias? WHY is Kingston City Council not calling for submissions on the proposed Bay Trail works in Mentone (‘Trail tale winds on’, The News, 19/2/14)? There are 11 identical signs displayed on the foreshore north of Naples Rd and each one says: “for more information contact…”. They do not say council is undertaking public consultation, or that comments are invited from the public. The same message appears on council’s website. There has also been nothing in the latest two issues of council’s Kingston Your City publication, except for a brief paragraph in councillor Rosemary West’s column. Are we to conclude that everything is already decided? Why is council presenting only a single option? In its letter dated 22 October 2010 to council, the Department of Sustainability and Environment stated: “council must investigate all options which have the potential to avoid or minimise vegetation loss”. This is not being done. The signs are deceptive and misleading in terms of the route. They state: “The Bay Trail will be located at the back-of-kerb ...”; and the dotted line in the picture is entirely on the road and verge, not the vegetation. Yet the information in council meeting agenda papers dated 16 December 2013 states — in tiny print — that the route deviates from backof-kerb between Plummer Rd and the Mentone Life Saving Club; about one quarter of the entire route. If the route is going to deviate in this way, then it should state just how far it will be between the road and the buffer of the Bay Trail, but this is not stated

anywhere. The pictures on these pages hide the fact that the route is no longer back-of-kerb for this section. All this misleading advertising should preclude a council decision until the public has been properly informed. Bayside Council still allows parking on Beach Rd near sites such as Hampton Life Saving Club and Black Rock Life Saving Club, after using the verge for its path. Kingston should do likewise and reassure Mentone Life Saving Club there will be no loss of parking as a result of a full back-ofkerb route. Stephen Calvert-Smith, Mentone

Challenging challenge HOW do you tackle Kingston’s oldest and most resistant challenge? At the most recent council meeting we councillors agreed to consider a Kingston green wedge compromise. The council goal that we all share is to protect public open space in the Kingston wedge, and reintroduce our grassy woodlands with bike paths and trails. To achieve this, we have proposed: - Green Wedge A above Heatherton/ Kingston Rd with permanent protection from concrete crushers. The minimum lot size would be 400,000 square metres; the same size as twenty MCGs. - Rural living in parts below Heatherton/Kingston Rd: wildlife corridors and grassy woodlands. Minimum lot size of 2000 square metres. That’s more that six times larger than the equivalent in the rest of Kingston. All public open space is protected. We treat existing residents with fairness and accountability. This is how we’ll solve the challenges before

us: with fairness and accountability. Everything else is just politics. Cr Tamsin Bearsley, South Ward

Wedge advice ignored FIVE Kingston councillors have moved to render unworkable the chain of parks concept designed to function as the lungs of the city for a rapidly growing population living in high density housing lacking gardens, trees and open space. Their proposed amendment at the most recent council meeting will benefit a small coterie of vested interests who seek to profit from the sale of green wedge land. The amendment ignores Planisphere’s balanced report as well as the views of the public who attended three community workshops and clearly wanted the green wedge retained for ‘green’ uses such as agriculture, open space, environmental wetlands and recreational activities. Victoria’s visionary former premier Dick Hamer called green wedges “the lungs of Melbourne” and legislated to make them integral to the city’s liveability. There is nothing visionary about the five councillors’ determination to wreck this vision or their inability to understand that any encroachment into green spaces is irreversible. Future generations won’t thank them for their obduracy. Clare McPhee, Chelsea Email letters to team@baysidenews. com.au or mail to Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915.

‘Patto’ plaque a foundation fixture THE man who can be regarded as the founding father of Patterson Lakes was the guest of honour last week at a plaque unveiled in his honour. Donald Cameron was the chief civil engineer who tackled a number of logistical challenges when establishing the suburb in the 1978. Poor soil quality and the regular flooding in the area meant many Kingston residents were sceptical that Patterson Lakes could ever be built at the land earmarked for development. However, a team of civil engineers led by Mr Cameron rose to the challenge and proved the doubters wrong. Drilling at the site discovered the peat-like soil that made construction so difficult only made up a surface layer at the land. The engineers decided to remove the unsuitable soil layer and excavate lakes and canals. Sand from the excavated areas was used to establish residential sites. The carefully compacted sand brought the proposed residential areas in Patterson Lakes up to the level required by planning authorities. Patterson Lakes residents interested in local history were behind the push to recognise Mr Cameron’s achievements. They have been talking to authorities for the past ten years to ensure Mr Cameron’s role in the founding of Patterson Lakes is not forgotten. Carrum MP Donna Bauer, Kingston Mayor Paul Peulich and Water Minister Peter Walsh attended the plaque unveiling. Mr Walsh announced the Illuka Bridge would soon be renamed in 84-year-old Mr Cameron’s honour. Neil Walker

EastLink driver cops fines mess DRIVERS with outstanding fines have no place to hide. Authorities now know where they will be. Hi-tech equipment is being used to track down serial fine evaders. Police and sheriff officers set up a roadblock on the Rutherford Rd on-ramp at EastLink in Carrum Downs last Wednesday morning in the expectation of nabbing some big fish. The operation paid off. A driver was caught with 445 outstanding warrants totalling just under $125,000. His 4WD vehicle was impounded on the spot and towed away. Victorian Sheriff Brendan Facey said data analysis found 33 people with outstanding warrants used the Rutherford Rd access road regularly. “Some people are using toll

roads every day and refusing to pay their tolls, building a huge debt from the fines they are ignoring,” Mr Facey said. Sheriff officers recovered $27,710 as a result of the roadblock. 36 fare evaders with 1047 warrants owing $312,974 were pulled over. “This operation should serve as a warning to other fine evaders that we are looking to target people where we know they are,” Mr Facey said. Six cars were clamped with all but one of the car owners making immediate payments to ensure they could drive on. Call 1300 SHERIFF to discuss outstanding fines Sheriff’s officers have powers to suspend drivers’ licenses and registration, place clamps on cars, seize property and arrest people.

Clamp down: Sheriff officers confiscated the car of a fines evader who owed almost $125,000. Picture: Gary Sissons

Cafe fundraiser helps cure research By Terri Lee Fatouros CHARITYWORKS for MS, (CWMS) is holding a Breakfast with Bubbly on Sunday 23rd March between 10.30am – 12.30pm @ 260 Café Bar Restaurant, 260 Nepean Hwy in Edithvale. CWMS committee members, Lorella Di Battista and Marcello Cicoli, whose passion for the MS cause is contagious, together with their families have organized this breakfast to raise much-needed funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Research Australia Limited in support of Foundation 5 Million Plus. Maria Di Battista @260 Café Bar Restaurant has generously provided her restaurant and staff for the breakfast to help CWMS, whose volunteer body of eight committee members was formed in 2002 by Lina Marrocco. In fact Di Battista is involved in one of the government registered training programs through the ORS Group Employment Service Provider that help people with disabilities, injuries or building confidence for them to get back into the work force. Participating business like @260 café provide training for individuals interested in hospitality. CWMS also organize the MS Ball every two years with the focus of fundraising to find a cure for MS. To date they have raised $845,000 and hope to raise another $155,000 with this year’s ball to bring their total to more than one million dollars for MS research. The funds raised from the breakfast and

the ball will go to the MS Group of the Florey Institute of Neuroscience, Mental Health, and the University of Melbourne. MS is a chronic disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord. The symptoms include difficulties with mobility, vision, speech, memory and fatigue levels. At its most virulent it is totally debilitating, and sufferers are wheel bound and dependent on their caregivers. Statistics indicate there are approximately 11,000 Victorians and 30,000 Australians living with the challenge of MS, and sadly the cause of MS is still unknown to date. It is thanks to the likes of Cicoli and Di Battista who have made an incredible contribution of raising funds and increasing people’s awareness of this dreadful disease. Breakfast with Bubbly will be a fun morning, and with so many raffles happening, it’s likely most people will win a prize. Keep an eye open for the lucky seat prize too. In fact there is a lot going on at @260 café. They have open mike and $15.00 American Ribs on Wednesday nights, $15.00 Parma on Thursdays, and live music Friday and Saturday nights. It’s worth a visit as the meals are gigantic, delicious and their coffee superb. Call the café on 97732117 for inquiries. Breakfast with Bubbly bookings can be made with Lorella Di Battista on 0438 809 911. Tickets are $50.00 per person.

Helping hands: @260 Cafe Bar Restaurant’s Tim Campbell and Maria Di Battista will help raise funds for MS research. Picture: Gary Sissons

Moorabbin Junction Street Art Mural Kingston’s first Sub-Urban Art mural has been unveiled in Moorabbin. Shoppers, commuters, residents, traders and visitors have been watching for several months as the extraordinary artwork has developed in the Kingston City Hall car park. On a wall that might have attracted graffiti is now a clever and colourful mural celebrating the rich history of Moorabbin. Local artist James Beattie was commissioned to produce the mural that is inspired by Moorabbin’s history, diversity and natural surroundings. James used images of the area’s iconic hall including its ruby red curtain and its historic 1928 Wurlitzer Organ to give relevance to the precinct. As part of the project James has mentored young people in the installation of artwork with the aim of steering their artistic abilities in a positive direction.

Students are selfsufficient STUDENTS at St Louis de Montforts saw the fruits of their labour come to fruition last week. The school community came together to celebrate the official opening of a sustainability precinct on the school grounds at Aspendale last week. School captain and sustainability leader Hannah Campbell said it had been exciting to be part of the project. “All the students have been involved in the planting of a huge veggie patch as well as a small orchard of fruit trees,” she said. St Louis de Montforts students will harvest fruit and vegetables from the garden and will learn how to cook healthy food in a newly-constructed outdoor kitchen. Animals such as chickens, ducks, rabbits and guinea pigs will make the new sustainability precinct their home. “The chickens are kept in the orchard because the manure is a natural fertiliser for the fruit trees,” Hannah said. Water used by the outdoor kitchen is drained into a pond where plants take out bad toxins before the water runs out to rivers and then the sea. An aquaponics system with water inside a fish tank is taken up to the garden bed to provide food for the plants. School gardener Frank Overberg and garden program team member Sandi Lindfield have been instrumental in helping students plan and build the sustainable garden. St Louis de Montforts has launched a ‘sponsor a worm’ program as part of the sustainability precinct. Sponsors can name a worm and receive a bottle of worm wee fertiliser. Call the school on 9580 5169 for further details.

Council opens up wedge Continued from Page 1 A five-page media release issued last Friday evening tried to present a united council front on the green wedge, stating: “Kingston City Council has set a direction on the future of the Green Wedge that will help facilitate the transformation of largely privately owned areas towards environmental improvements and a more sustainable economic future for the area.” The statement also read: “Council will also explore the creation of rural-style housing as a catalyst to working with land owners to improve the appearance of the Green Wedge.” Council’s media release did not mention that Mentone Grammar’s playing fields in Keysborough are included within the 53 hectares of green wedge land off Springvale Rd that could be rezoned for possible residential development. The News previously revealed the elite private school made a submission to Planisphere before the planning consultants finalised the Kingston Green Wedge Plan in 2012 (‘Land plan puzzle’, The News, 19/2/14). Council decided to keep Mentone Grammar’s submission confidential. Both council and the school have refused to answer several questions about the submission. It is believed that Mentone Grammar requested its Keysborough playing fields be removed from the green wedge. Planisphere recommended the land should remain in the green wedge zone. Mentone Grammar was not mentioned in council’s latest five-page media release about the green wedge.

Health ride makes a difference RIDING more than 675km is no longer something that the many aged care home residents can contemplate but that has not hampered the residents of a Bonbeach aged care facility from supporting a good cause. BUPA Bonbeach aged care facility general manager Leanne Pretorius and the residents and staff of BUPA Bonbeach are backing French visitor Thomas Joli in his bike ride to raise money for Rotary. Thomas will be the BUPA Bonbeach aged care facility’s representative and will cycle from Bonbeach to Bendigo ahead of Rotary’s district conference on the

weekend of 22-23 March. The team will take a scenic route to Bendigo to give Thomas a chance to sample the sights and sounds of rural Victoria. Thomas, in Australia as an exchange student sponsored by the Rotary club of Chelsea, will undertake the ride as a member of four teams on 15 March, and will clock up about 100km per day. Funds raised will go to Rotary as a contributor of money to several health research projects including polio eradication programs.

AROUND THE REGION

‘Harmony’ is flowing at the creek A COMMUNITY project to replant and build a barbecue and picnic area alongside a neglected creek in Langwarrin symbolises the Islamic principles of “personal and societal cleanliness”. A plaque marking the start of the Harmony Creek project in Leisureland Drive was unveiled on Clean Up Australia Day. The project is being undertaken by members of the adjoining Ahmadiyya Muslim Association’s Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) mosque, Frankston Council and Melbourne Water. The mosque is in the renovated former Leisureland Fair amusement park off North Rd. On Sunday 2 March, Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor inaugurated the Harmony Creek project by planting a tree on Clean Up Australia Day at the reserve. More than 200 members of the Ahmadiyya

community, neighbours and council officers attended the ceremony, which started with a reading from the Quran by Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria president Javed Safdar Choudhary. Mr Javed said Islam stressed the need for cleanliness and described it as a part of the faith. He said Islam also taught harmony, peace and loyalty to homeland, and for all Muslims to obey and cooperate with higher authorities. The Harmony Creek project was a small example of the Muslim association’s cooperation with local authorities and a gesture to show its concern for cleanliness and for the environment. Cr Taylor said he was “happy and delighted” to begin the project on Clean Up Australia Day. He said the project aimed to convert the area into a useful urban space, with barbecues, picnic

tables and better walking tracks. Cr Taylor and Mr Javed planted a memorial tree on the banks of the creek after unveiling a plaque. When announcing the project at the association’s annual Australia Day dinner, Cr Taylor described it as “a great news story that will allow the local community here to go jogging around the creek area. I think it’s just a great example of how the mateship and giving back comes into play”. In harmony: Top, members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community gathered in front of Bait-ul-Salam mosque in Langwarrin. Right, Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor, Rehmat Sami, Vito Albicini and Javed Safdar Choudhary planted a tree and unveiled a commemorative plaque. Pictures: MTA Victoria

Coach signs: St Kilda fan Marg Farrally of Seaford asks Saints’ coach Alan Richardson for an autograph for her son, also a fan of the club. Picture: Gary Sissons

Saints hello on streets ST Kilda footballers, coaches and various other handlers were out “spreading the red, white and black gospel” on Mordialloc streets last week. With research showing they are one of the most popular AFL clubs in the area, there was little fear of rejection. The Saints’ foray saw them mingling with shoppers and passersby before heading to Frankston farmers’ market. Instead of handballing footies, they were

handing out flyers about the club and free tickets to games. The club will next be taking its On The Street drive to the municipalities of Kingston, Bayside, Glen Eira and Port Phillip. Research has shown that one of every five AFL club members in the municipalities are St Kilda members and the club is hoping the drive will further cement its position as “the bayside club” from Port Melbourne to Portsea.

PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Fame waits in the hall for triathlete By Scott Grimster STEPHEN Foster of Mornington saw himself as an “abstract failure at sport” before having a light bulb moment as he watched television footage of Julie Moss crawling across the finish line at the Hawaiian Ironman in February 1982. In his first attempt at a triathlon, the 1983 Nautilus Triathlon, he was the first junior home and 15th overall. That was enough – he was hooked. Since then he has won trophies around the world and been acknowledged as a world champion. On 20 March he and Louise Mackinlay will be inducted into Triathlon Australia’s hall of fame alongside Brad Beven (2013); Emma Carney, Jackie Fairweather and Loretta Harrop (2012); and Michellie Jones, Miles Stewart and Greg Welch (2011). At age 18 Foster competed in the ironmandistance 1984 Triple M Triathlon, coming third behind 1982 world champion Scott Tinley of the United States and one of Australia’s top athletes, Marc Dragan. After another ironman event and with numerous wins in races across Victoria, Foster finished third in the 1985 Great Lakes International Triathlon behind Grant Boswell, an American athlete who had finished third at Hawaii, and Marc Dragan. He went on to win at Devonport, which many retrospectively classed as the 1986

Australian championships. Foster peaked just as the national circuit began to take shape. Although he suffered serious injuries in a cycling accident in November 1988 and took a year to return to winning form, he was named triathlete of the year in 1987, 1988 and 1990, won the official Australian championships in 1987, 1988, 1990 and 1991, and claimed the Australian longcourse title in 1988 and 1996. Following his early success, an encouraging win against Scott Tinley at the 1986 Big Apple Triathlon, and a sprint for second place with Tinley and European champion Rob Barel at the 1987 unofficial World Sprint Triathlon Championships in Perth, Foster began to dream of competing overseas. He finished third at the unofficial world championships in Kelowna Canada in 1988, and won the famous USTS Chicago Triathlon. Foster was unable to contest the first official world championships in 1989, but placed third the following year at Orlando, and fourth in 1992. In 1993, he won the Embrun ITU World Cup. Foster gradually moved into coaching and age group racing in Victoria, where he continues to frequent the podium. He runs a semi-professional triathlon team in Mornington called Team Barefoot.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Thieves visit Melbourne home; dry weather to blame for fire breakouts Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 March 1914 AN unoccupied furnished house, owned by Mrs Harris of Melbourne, was during the past fortnight visited by thieves, and goods to the amount of £50 have been removed. The police are making inquiries. *** OWING to the continued dry weather, bush fires have been breaking out throughout the Peninsula during the last three or four weeks. On Saturday last a fire started near Sir John Maddens’, on the Mornington road, when a good deal of fencing and crass was destroyed before the fire was checked. The Frankston fire bell was rung, and a good muster of firemen and volunteers were quickly on the scene, and they did good service in keeping the outbreak in check. Though a hock of sheep were in danger, some of the fighters managed to get all but one to a place of safety. Sir John is highly pleased with the efforts’ of the brigade and fighters. The manager (Mr G. Bloxham) when spoken to subsequently, said he could not speak too highly of the assistance given by the fighters, especially mentioning Messrs Geoff Grice, Broomhead, Walker Bros, and Cousins. Mr Broomhead was one of the first at the fire, after having run three quarters of a mile through ploughed fields, and, to use Mr Bloxham’s own words, “He fought the fire with a vengeance, and it was mainly owing to his splendid work and generalship, with the assistance of those previously mentioned, that the fire was stopped. The brigade and those who arrived later also gave

valuable assistance.” On Monday evening the fire bell was again rung, the fire being this time on the heights to the left of Oliver’s Hill. The brigade and a good muster of fighters again turned out, and after a most strenuous battle the flames were checked, and the houses which were in danger were pronounced safe. The bell was rung for the third time on Tuesday evening, and the brigade, with the assistance of Mr Millard’s horse drawing the hose and reel, were quickly on the spot, near the scene of the outbreak of the previous night. Fortunately, there was little wind, and a break was burned just at the rear of Mr Plummer’s house and those near him, which proved effective. A blaze occurred near “Ramslade,” the property of Mr T. Ritchie, on Monday night. A party of fighters went out from Frankston, and, with the assistance of others, the flames were subdued, though not before a considerable amount of damage had been done. *** CONSTABLE McCallum, who has been stationed at Frankston for some time, has received notice of his promotion, though his station is not yet definitely fixed. He left here on Friday, and though his friends are glad to hear of his promotion, he will be missed in many ways. His successor is Constable McCormack, of Meredith. *** MISS Meason, an organiser of the P.L.P will deliver an address on current politics in the Mechanics’ Hall Frankston on Monday evening, March

23. Miss Meason, who has previously spoken in Frankston, is a fluent speaker, and a treat is in store for those who attend on Monday night.

At much cost and trouble, the Vacuum Oil Co. Prop. Ltd. is urgently despatching petrol and oil supplies to various points of the route for Major Campbell’s requirements.

*** ENTRIES for the Somerville Show close to-day (Saturday, 14th.) Entry forms and schedules can be obtained from the secretary, at Somerville, and at the office of this paper, and at Messrs Brody and Mason’s, Frankston. For the convenience of residents of Frankston the latter firm will receive entries at their office up to 9 o’clock on Saturday (this) evening.

*** A HIGH class concert in connection with the Frankston Methodist Church will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall this (Saturday) evening. First class artists have been selected, and these will be assisted by the Festal Glee party and Orchestra. Doors open at 7 30, and the concert commences at 8 p.m. The prices of admission are 2s and 1s, reserved seats 6d extra. *** READERS are requested to peruse an advertisement on the fourth page of this issue, drawing attention to the merits of the “I.H.C.” spraying outfit. A sample will be on view at the Somervilloe show, and those interested are requested to inspect. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, Cr Griffeth moved that a committee consisting of one councillor from each riding, be formed, to evolve a scheme to put the Shire in a better position with regards to the Infectious Diseases Hospital, and that a report be submitted at next meeting. Cr Keast seconded, and the motion was carried. The committee to consist of the President, and Crs Plowman and Griffeth. *** A MOTOR tour throughout Australia of over 4000 is to be undertaken by Major C. W. Campbell, of Amesfield Park, Frankston, on the 23rd inst. Mr P. V. Taylor, of Major Campbell’s staff, is to be at the wheel of the Major’s costly motor car. During the trip, the party will sleep under canvas, and as the journey proposed by the Major has never before been attempted by motorists, many of the

city motorists are eagerly awaiting the smashing of records by Major Cambell. At much cost and trouble the Vacuum Oil Co. Prop. Ltd. is urgently despatching petrol and oil supplies to various points of the route for Major Campbell’s requirements, and the Co.’s American expert states that if Major Campbell succeeds, his record will be of lasting interest to the motor trade and motorists in general. We have made arrangements to secure Major Campbell’s notes, and possibly our detailed account will be more interesting than that of the Melbourne papers, whose scribes are writing up Major Campbell’s results. *** FROM Melbourne trade journals we note that a company has been registered by Messrs Hogan and Hogan, solicitors of Melbourne, for the purpose of trading as the “Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary, Limited,” and has a capital of £2000, fully paid up. The managing director of the company is Major C. W. Campbell, pastoralist, and the directors are Mr J. B. Jolly, commercial traveller, and Mr Thomas Ritchie, merchant. The above gentlemen are all local residents. The garage, we learn, will cater for the Peninsula trade, and is also certain to command much city business, as the directors are widely known. Mr F. V. Taylor, an expert motorist and mechanic, with a world-wide experience, is to have charge of the workshop, where a costly and up-to-date plant is being installed. We understand that two Ford cars of the latest design and a modern Sunbeam car is already at the command of those desiring to drive a motor.

Performance JEANNE Pratt AC, chair of The Production Company, has announced her company’s 2014 season. “Three very different musicals are coming to Melbourne for this year’s season. They are three of my favourite Broadway classics Guys and Dolls, Showboat and our third musical and our third musical La Cage Aux Follies,” Mrs Pratt said. “To star in these musicals, we have engaged artists who will shine and enchant our audiences. Unique stagings for each musical will be created by our brightest directors, choreographers and conductors. Melbourne is in for another great year of musical theatre entertainment”. Guys and Dolls opens in Arts Centre Melbourne’s State Theatre on July 19 for a season of ten performances. Showered with Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier and Helpmann Awards since its debut, this new staging will be directed by the award winning Gale Edwards, musical director is Guy Simpson and the choreographer is Nathan M. Wright. Show Boat opens in Arts Centre Melbourne’s State Theatre on 16 August for a season of ten performances. Alinta Chidzey, Christina O’Neill, Gareth Keegan, Philip Gould and Eddie Muliaumaseali’I star in this musical masterpiece created by Oscar Hammerstein ll and Jerome Kern. The creative team responsible for the award winning Grey Gardens, Director Roger Hodgman, Musical Director Kellie Dickerson, and Choreographer Dana Jolly return to stage Show Boat. La Cage Aux Folles opens in Arts Centre Melbourne’s Playhouse on November 22 for a run of seventeen performances. Todd McKenney and Simon Burke star as the two brilliant characters, Albin and Georges, who have lived together happily for twenty years above their nightclub La Cage Aux Folles. Georges is the owner and MC and Albin is its star drag performer,

Zaza. Rhonda Burchmore returns in the role of Jacqueline. Launching the new season at her home, Raheen, Jeanne Pratt said “With the ever increasing demand for tickets to our shows, this year we are introducing additional Performances for each production. We will be presenting a total of 37 performances. Our ticket prices are being kept competitive and we are especially proud of our 50% discount for anyone under 18, with tickets for as little as $23.” www.theproductioncompany.com.au *** Robbie Williams will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on 16 September….. Singer Percy Sledge, 73, has pulled out of a UK tour after he was diagnosed

with liver cancer. His biggest hit was When a Man Loves a Woman…..Devo guitarist Bob Casale has died of heat failure aged 61. The group’s drummer, Alan Myers, died last year after a battle with cancer at age 58. Their biggest hit was Whip it….Shirley Bassey aged 77 is set to return to Broadway in the musical After Midnight replacing k.d lang…… *** AUSTRALIAN rockers AC/DC will celebrate their 40th anniversary this year by performing 40 shows around the world, while recording their first album in five years. AC/DC formed in Melbourne in 1974 and their debut single Can I Sit Next to You Girl sold only moderately. However, the follow up single Baby,

Please Don’t Go (1975) the old Them single became a hit from the album High Voltage which became the second biggest Australian album of the year and stayed on the charts for 25 weeks. Original singer Dave Evans left the band before recording the debut album and was replaced by Bon Scott. Drummer Peter Clark departed to be replaced by Phillip Rudd and bass player Rob Bailey left to be replaced by Mark Evans. The band developed a hard rock image with a young Angus Young performing a stage act portraying a schoolboy. Follow up singles High Voltage, It’s A Long Way To The Top made the Top 10 as did the album of the same name High Voltage which also contained the controversial songs The Jack and She’s Got Balls. On 19 February 1980 Bon Scott was found dead in his car. The official verdict was that he had choked to death. After much deliberation it was announced in April 1980 that Brian Johnston from the English band Geordie had been chosen to replace Bon. Despite the setback, AC/DC went on to produce the very successful album, Back In Black, released in August 1980 which sold well over 300,000 copies in Australia and well over 4 million copies in the USA, and worldwide sales were well over the 8 million mark. Hit singles from the album included You Shook Me All Night Long, Hells Bells, Rock n Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution, and What Do You Do for Money Honey. AC/DC is rumoured to be touring Australia in November. www.acdc.com *** INTERNATIONAL superstar Katy Perry has announced that she will head to Australia in November, kicking off in Perth and playing dates in Adelaide, Melbourne (November 14 & 15), Syd-

ney and Brisbane. Presented by the Dainty Group, the tour is in support of Katy’s smash hit album PRISM, which debuted at number one in Australia and has since been certified triple platinum. The album has given Katy her biggest ever single in Australia with Roar currently certified 9 x platinum. The latest single Dark Horse from PRISM is already triple platinum in Australia with the amazing video just released on 21 February. In the US, Dark Horse is Katy’s ninth No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and her eleventh No.1 hit on American pop radio. In Australia alone, Katy’s single and album sales total more than 4.6 million. Tickets 132 849. www.katyperry.com *** WOLF Creek 2 has made a killing at the Australian box office this weekend, taking in over 35 per cent more than original. The Australian-made film grossed $1,702,073 on 218 screens nationally across its opening weekend (Thursday to Sunday). “Mick Taylor is back with a vengeance,” Roadshow Films managing director Joel Pearlman said. “Greg McLean has crafted a great successor in Wolf Creek 2 and Australian audiences made this the No.1 film at the box office, which is particularly exciting for a local production.” Wolf Creek 2 is screening in cinemas nationally.

Reminds me of The Taming of the Shrew. *** WELCOME back Kotter (Christopher Pyne). “Better schools, better teachers and better outcomes for students”. Chrissy is not one to go off at the mouth, allowing for his tendency to be “away with the fairies” the following hour? His reaction to the Craig Thomson saga: “Politicians have been accused of sometimes gilding the lily, but that is a far cry from standing up in the Parliament and making statements which are deliberately misleading, which are lies.”. Classic Chrissy. Politicians will lie inside and outside parliament according to their interests. Likewise judges will regularly bring down judgements according to their own advantage, sometimes at the expense of innocents, never forgetting journalists, who regularly lie to make their story and betray during the editing process without remorse. And so on. *** THIS Craig Thomson story doesn’t add up. As secretary of the Health Services Union for five years and a former feder-

PAGE 22

al MP we can assume the man had a few brains, in his skull at least. We can assume he was getting paid good money: enough for cigarettes, movies, even the smorgasbord naughty night at $2475. So why use the card for cash withdrawals? Why use it after he left the HSU job? Where were his wages going during all this time? Where was the accounting for these items by the HSU over such a long period? According to The Age (Fairfax’s Kate McClymont) it’s been proven as truth. Maybe, but for mine there’s a back story, perhaps forever hidden? Also, the HSU gives out a dodgy feeling about it all. *** A SWEET choice: 165,000 public servants offered zero pay rise in return for three years employment and deep cuts to their entitlements. It’s always the side issue which fascinates. The government talk of wages being too high is political nonsense, however, slowly but surely the letters build up in favour of overpaid workers. So easy to con the general public into a way of thinking. I wonder if those same people truly believe Victoria is Tony’s second home? *** IN an effort to reduce excessive health costs there’s a push for the public to be educated to stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol and take up a daily exercise routine. It doesn’t concern me personally, but a ban on sex should be included.

Filthy habit. *** I WENT to Sydney. You remember Sydney? Similar to Manilla, run by crooks with different accents? Watched ABC TV at night (dangerous outside). More accurately Sydney TV. (Not 7, 9 or 10 obviously; I’m not that desperate). The Moodys is hot and cold. Good stuff from Darren Gilshenan, Patrick Brammall and Tina Bursill but Ian Meadows should look for another job. Rake Season 3 was dreadful, particularly the painful Matt Day. Janet King was OK, apart from Damian Walshe-Howling, and Vince Colosimo out of their depth and Titiel Mora (as a judge) unbeliebably still pretending to be an actor. Shaun Micallef’s work on Mad As Hell with a talented support cast (Francis Greenslade and Roz Hammond) is funny and clever. The Returned (SBS2) is spooky but good. Then I read Sigrid Thornton is playing Blanche DuBoir (A Streetcar Named Desire) in Perth. What is the world coming to, I ask? Bring on the football. *** YOU have to feel sympathy for the recently overthrown Ukraine government. Hopefully, the alleged transfer of $70 billion to offshore accounts will provide a comfort in their latter years, or

until the new government has done their dirty deeds, thus allowing the outgoing government to come home. Will Russia intervene, or back off in fear of the wrath of Julie Bishop? *** A QUIET coffee and he says to me: “I’m an organ donor”. “Well done,” I replied, which should have been the end of it, but no. He said: “Are you an organ donor?” and I replied: “No”. “Why not?” he said. “It’s a good thing and you’re helping another life”. Why do so many people, over and over, believe not only that they think they know what may or not be appropriate, but regularly take it further by giving you their unsolicitered advice? My advice to him was “piss off!” *** OPERATION Sovereign Borders. The 2300 asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru and the acquiescence of the Labor Party leave us with no heroes and a state of general meloncholy. Politicians all, bring shame on us. *** HAS the cricket finished yet? Cricket Australia’s mission statement is for cricket to be Australia’s favourite sport. Test matches a forlorn chance, even four-day state matches. The rest, money-grubbing rubbish. *** JOE, Joe, Joe...you should have been an actor. Joe commits to an econmic growth rate of 3 per cent and sweeping reforms at the G20 summit.

Monumental as anything By Stuart McCullough WHEN news broke that a giant, threestorey mango had gone missing, I’ll admit I feared the worst. Not since someone blew the backside off the Giant Pheasant outside Gumbuya Park had our nation faced so dark a day. Presumably when something of this magnitude occurs, the authorities activate some top-secret emergency plan and other national icons are immediately placed into high-security lockdown. For its own safety, Lang Lang’s Giant Earthworm would be cordoned off from the public. South Australia’s The Big Lobster would be ushered into its own underground reinforced concrete bunker. Adaminaby’s Big Trout would be placed into the witness protection program and forced to change its name to ‘Dennis’. Not that everything needs such high level security. Such measures are largely unnecessary for Tasmania’s The Big Potato. Nobody’s going to steal that thing. Nobody. When a humungous piece of fruit goes missing, it’s natural to speculate whether it’s the first part of a broader campaign of terror. My fear was that we were obviously dealing with some kind of evil genius super-villain hellbent on making a gigantic fruit salad and that the Big Pineapple and Big Banana might be next. But who would do such a thing? It’s obvious. I don’t want to point the finger but, personally, I’d be on the lookout for a mutant forty-foot Wiggle.

He shouldn’t be hard to spot. Granted, he’ll probably be wearing a black skivvy rather than the customary red, yellow, blue or purple, but it’s difficult to hide your getaway vehicle when it’s a Big Red Car, no matter how hard you try. A fruit salad may well be ‘yummy, yummy’, but there’s just no excuse for this kind of anarchic malarkey. For a few anxious days, there was little to do other than wait for the ransom demands. They never arrived. Turns out, it was merely a publicity stunt. What, precisely, they were seeking to publicise remains a mystery. Which, when it comes to publicity stunts, suggests failure on an epic scale. If these people want to perform a

stunt, next time they should try jumping a motorcycle over thirty burning busses whilst blindfolded and, for all our sakes, leave the oversized fruit alone. On the plus side, I guess this means The Wiggles are now free to go. But whilst pretending to abduct a giant mango might sound like a bit of harmless fun, it speaks to a diminished respect for our national treasures. Suffice to say, for someone to load America’s Lincoln Memorial onto the back of a ute for a bit of laugh would be utterly unthinkable. Sadly, the Western Port region has not been immune to this tidal wave of disrespect. On Frankston Flinders Rd in Somerville stands a fibreglass Tyrannosaurus

Rex. Well, not ‘on the road’ as such – that would startle the drivers and hamper the flow of traffic. But right alongside it. Some may question why there’s a four-and-a-half metre dinosaur by the side of the road. To those who ask ‘why?’ I can only say that when you’re a T-rex, you don’t need to explain yourself to anyone. You stand wherever you want. But, clearly, somebody has a problem with it. Sadly, it appears that someone has it in for our prehistoric friend and has gone and knocked it over for the second time in a fortnight. How senseless. How puerile. How dumb. No wonder the poor things are extinct. Forget comets or the sudden on-set of the Ice Age; the world’s prehistoric creatures were wiped out by idiots who decided to tip them over for a joke. Or perhaps there’s a more sinister motivation at work? Maybe the perpetrator was forced to sit through multiple screenings of Jurassic Park as a youngster and, as a result, has been trained to loathe dinosaurs and everything they stand for. They have then devoted their lives to plotting against dinosaurs in some kind of ‘Jurassic jihad’. Or maybe Dorothy the Dinosaur was jealous. Or, then again, perhaps trying to ascribe a motive to something so stupid is simply futile. When something like this happens, the authorities fear the obvious: reprisal attacks. If I were a T-rex, even a replica one, I wouldn’t take that kind of nonsense ly-

ing down. Granted, I’d be lying down for a while, but only because some fool pushed me over and it’s hard to right yourself when you’re made of steel and fibreglass. But wouldn’t it be glorious? The culprit will be sitting at home when there’s a polite but insistent knock. He opens the front door to find a four and half metre T-rex standing out the front with a baseball bat. Maybe he’s brought a few buddies along with him. Two paces behind the dinosaur, Goulburn’s The Big Merino stands menacingly with a pair of numchucks whilst beside him, Ballina’s The Big Prawn is nursing a piece of timber with some nails sticking out. Suddenly, picking on a fibreglass dinosaur doesn’t seem so funny. If only. In real life, things don’t always turn out quite so neatly. These objects can’t defend themselves, so it’s up to the rest of us. These monuments shouldn’t be abducted, blown up or pushed over. They ought to be cherished. I, for one, love that there are people among us who are willing to take a chance and build these objects. They don’t always make a lot of sense but that’s precisely what’s so great about them. Big objects help bring a little wonder and surprise into our lives and, if for no other reason, they deserve our love and respect. So if it’s been a while between dinosaurs, maybe it’s time for you to head over to Somerville and pay your respects. I’ll see you there. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Langwarrin failed to offer any resistance when the teams first met before Christmas and history repeated itself on the weekend. The only thing the Kangas did right was winning the toss. They elected to bat but lost their

first wicket before the score had reached 20. Simon McEvoy (10) was the first man to go and David Ross, who hit two sixes in his innings, lost his wicket for just 17. Luke Popov was superb for the Dogs, snaring three wickets, including the two openers. He only bowled 9.1 overs, the most of any Mornington bowler during the innings. Langwarrin lasted just 44.1 overs and was dismissed for 117. Skipper Mark Cooper, who was recruited as an opening batsman, batted

at six once again and top-scored with 23. Mornington teenager Jack Heseltine picked up 3/34, including the crucial wickets of Andy Johnson and Danny Weare who were both dismissed for 17 runs. Luke Harper was also very effective with the ball, snaring 2/20 from eight overs. Mornington batted the final 31 overs of the day and eased its way to victory. Ben Clements is a star and he proved it again on the weekend, belting 11 fours and two sixes on his way

to an unbeaten 73 after the first day. The Doggies concluded on Saturday at 1/126. In the other semi-final, Sorrento is in a wonderful position after the first day of the semi-final against Long Island. While the Sharks got touched up by the Islanders in the final home and away game of the season, they weren’t about to fall into the same trap in the semi. Sorrento won the toss and elected to bat, the old dynamic duo of Jedd Falck and Nick Jewell coming to the crease.

They got their team away to a flyer, scoring 70 for the opening stand, Falck making 51 and Jewell 36. Liam O’Connor made 29 batting at three and Leigh Poholke whacked 83 to set the Sharks up. With 22 from Anthony Blackwell and 26 from Mark Dunball, the home side managed to score 281 after batting for 79.3 overs. Scott Phillips bowled 25.3 overs for the Islanders, finishing with 4/99. Andrew Tweddle snared 3/48 and Fergus O’Connor chimed in for 2/25 from nine overs, including the wickets of Falck and O’Connor.

Pines blitz Main Ridge bats to book grand final berth DISTRICT By IT Gully PINES tailenders Nick Wilcox and Pat Jackson put on 58 for the 10th wicket on Saturday to place the Piners in a strong position against Main Ridge after the first day. In the other MPCA District semifinal between Delacombe Park and Somerville, things were truly in the balance after the first day of play. Pines won the toss and batted first on Saturday and, thanks to Wilcox and Jackson, was able to see out its 80 overs with the bat. A score of 9/283 looked enough after the first day for the Piners, especially with the experience of Ricky Ramsdale, Brett Remy and Brett Hudgson leading the attack. Nick Wilcox was superb with the bat for the Piners, showing class and commitment to help himself to an unbeaten 75. Jackson finished with 26no. Earlier in the day, the middle order failed for the Piners, Jeremy Weare (3) and Harley Peace-Stirling (4) having little impact on the scoreboard. However, they were able to get some contributions from Jake Prosser (20), Ramsdale (47), Remy (39) and Rhys Chalkley (24). Gareth Wyatt was the key to the Main Ridge bowling attack, picking

up 5/91 from 23 overs, while Brad Rossborough showed the class act he is with 2/45 from 21 overs. Scott Millar toiled for 25 overs and finished with 1/116. Delacombe Park batted first after winning the toss on Saturday but didn’t dominate the opposition bowling as the team has done throughout the season. The home team started well, Jon Guthrie and Nick Christides putting on an opening stand of 51. Christides made 43 of them before falling victim to Justin Allsop. Allsop claimed three wickets, while Aaron Kaddadz and Jack Kennedy were also among the wickets with three and two scalps respectively. Chris Brittain continued his outstanding season in the final with 53 while Joel Malcolm made 30. Ben Brittain (22) and Shane Deal (21) offered some resistance at the end and were able to push the score beyond 200. Chasing 210 is never an easy task in a final and Somerville was left with that challenge on Sunday. Stop press: On Sunday, Pines bowlers dismissed Main Ridge for a lowly 85 runs with Brett Remy taking 4/11 off 14 overs, Nick Wilcox 2/28 off 17, Pat Jackson 1/4 off 6, Ricky Ramsdale 1/4 off 6, Brett Hudgson 1/25 off 3 and Jeremy Weare 1/4 off a single over.

Buds’ reverse outright against YCW to reach final after thrilling finish SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully FRANKSTON YCW was just 45 runs away from victory against Rosebud at the close of play on the first of two days of the Sub-district semi-final. In the other semi, Red Hill had set Balnarring a massive task of scoring 323 to win the match and advance to the grand final. The Stonecats produced some wonderful bowling to push the Buds onto the back foot in the match at picturesque Olympic Park in Rosebud. No Rosebud batsman was allowed to get going and it took a 25 from Jason Nagel at the bottom of the order to get the score beyond 100. At one stage the Buds were 6/61 with Greg McCann, Matty Maher, Brad Glenn and Darren Kerr all back in the sheds. Andrew Kitson opened the bowling for the Stonecats with 3/35 while Adam Muirhead was on fire, snaring 5/59 to give him 29 wickets for the season. Paul Bradley also chimed in, taking 1/12 from five overs. Red Hill skipper Simon Dart stepped up to the plate and produced one of his finest innings with an unbeaten 135 on Saturday. When he came to the crease, his side was in early trouble at 2/1. Dart had plenty of support throughout his innings with Rheede Hopgood scoring 40, Riley Shaw getting 29 and the elder statesman of the team, Andrew Brown, hitting 64. Lincoln Toy was also great at the end with a quickfire 29.

Even without Glenn Collett, the Red Hill score of 322 was always going to be tough to track down. Stop press: In a game that will be remembered for years, Rosebud defeated Frankston YCW via a reverse outright on Sunday. Details next issue.

Yabbies and Bulls are hurting as players leave in droves By Toe Punt AS we approach the beginning of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League season, the player movements have hotted up again in the past fortnight. It appeared as though most clubs had finished recruiting by Christmas but there is plenty of movement once again as teams gear up to begin practice matches. There are two clubs that have been hit hardest – Tyabb in Nepean League and Karingal in Peninsula League. Tyabb is hurting. The Yabbies have been on struggle street since last season and things have only got worse. They have already lost Matty Dimkos, Ash Fenech and David Sherlock to Langwarrin, while Rowan and Tim McGrath applied for clearances through the week. Chris Venn is already gone and, to

add insult to injury, Ash Waterstone applied for a clearance to Dromana during the week. In Peninsula League, Karingal continues to lose a heap of players. In the past couple of months the club has waved goodbye to Anthony Joel (to Rye), Brendan Dunne (Hastings), Chris Hay (Alberton), David Hirst, Tim Hirst and Callan Dixon (Somerville), Jared Eames and Robby Clements (both to Red Hill), Sam McGarry has changed leagues and Stephen Charalambous has joined Brendan Dunne at Hastings. Also coming through last week was an application for big man Dan Noble to join Dunne at the Blues. Jack Johnson, who played 18 games for the Bulls last season, has applied for a clearance to Crib Point. Johnson joins other Magpie recruits Brad Arnold and Dean Warry.

Bonbeach star Ricky Ferraro is heading back to the VFL and Brendan Meagher, who sought a clearance to Frankston YCW, has applied for another one to go back to the Pilbara in WA. In Nepean, Frankston Bombers has secured talented teenager Corey Micari, who booted more than 50 goals for YCW in the Under-18s last season. However, the Bombers lose big names including Luke Lewis, Anthony Fulton, Haydn Moore, the Lonie brothers, Brian O’Carroll and Shane Vandervalk. Devon Meadows has welcomed a lot of new faces, but loses Pat Chin. Sorrento has lost Caydn Beetham and Stevey Baker. The club has picked up utility player Jarryd Ferguson from East Ringwood, who only played a handful of senior games last season.

“Greenway was “just around the corner” and, despite the many attractions of other villages I’d examined, it always had greater appeal. The extended process of negotiating the transition to Greenways was not without its problems, and it served to confirm what I sensed: that here was a community of supportive, interdependent people, where respect, acceptance, support, stimulation and encouragement were the norm, and extended to and by everyone. Here I can truly be at home and can grow through this next very interesting stage of life. Thank you to all my new neighbours, and wonderful staff!” - Rosemary Wright
