Fireys see red over cutbacks

FIREYS are turning up the heat on the state government in an election year with a high-profile campaign highlighting union concerns about fire brigade staffing levels. The United Firefighters Union has launched an aggressive campaign directly targeting Premier Denis Napthine over the number of professional firefighters employed by the Country Fire Authority. Union banners with the slogan ‘Napthine slashes. You burn’ are on prominent display at several locations, including Frankston and Patterson River fire stations (right). The union told The News it had not organised the erection of the banners and said the actions taken by firefighters at local stations must be “spontaneous”. The UFU is angry that the Liberal National coalition state government has broken a pre-election promise to employ an additional 342 firefighters in the aftermath of Black Saturday in 2009 and has slashed the CFA’s annual operational budget by $41 million. The CFA has more than 1500 paid staff members and about 60,000 volunteers. UFU Victorian branch secretary Peter Marshall justified the decision to personally target the premier with its latest slogan. “We’re addressing the premier because he is the person responsible for cutting funds to the fire services and not hiring the firefighters this state needs,” Mr Marshall said. “His government’s decision could result in the loss of firefighter life or injury and also impact on the safety of the community. The buck stops with him.” The firefighters’ determination to publicise their discontent with the state government comes as ambulance paramedics also publicly push their case for better pay and conditions. Ambulance vehicles have been daubed with

slogans accusing the premier of putting lives at risk due to budget cuts. The banner at Patterson River fire station was taken down this week. The News understands this was at the behest of CFA command. A CFA spokesperson said the banners were not part of protected industrial action. “Unauthorised posters and stickers on CFA property is not an appropriate use of CFA buildings, vehicles and equipment, and is not permitted,” the spokesperson said. The UFU is organising a ‘Napthine slashes. You burn’ protest rally at Melbourne Trades Hall on Tuesday 25 March. The Ambulance Employees Australia union is coordinating a campaign specifically tageting the Carrum electorate later this month, dubbed ‘Code Red Carrum’. AEA assistant secretary Danny Hill said paramedics and firefighters would join forces to visit residents across the electorate to spread the word about state government budget cuts and resources shortfalls. “We’ve handed out leaflets elsewhere before and public support has been overwhelmingly positive,” Mr Hill said. “We’re trying to highlight delays with serious response times.” Firefighters and paramedics will meet at Patterson Lakes Community Hall at 10am on Saturday 29 March before heading out to door knock Carrum electorate residents.

I SUPPORT any decision to allow the Pompei family to continue as leasee of the property know as Pompei`s Landing (‘Pompei legacy ‘threatened’’, The News, 26/2/14). The boat building workshop on this land has been for many years an icon for Mordialloc. It is the only wooden boat building works remaining in Victoria. As to the future of this land it could be made into a Marintine Museum for the history of the boat building works and the history of the well-recognised family in the city of Mordialloc. Terry Dwyer, Aspendale

Short term view IN an era when major cities around the world are being increasingly beset by problems of severe air pollution and serious flooding Melbourne is very fortunate to have an asset like the green wedge. A number of large corridors of semirural land that run from the city’s outskirts to well into its metropolitan area are a positive. These large tracts of relatively undeveloped land, with their vegetation and permeable surfaces, have to be recognised as important present and future assets for mitigating the effects of air pollution and flooding. Reducing the minimum size of the lots in the green wedge zone has to

be seen as the first step in opening the way up for future large scale subdivision and development in those zones. The Kingston councillors who voted to reduce the minimum size of lots (‘Wedge opened’, The News, 12/3/14) are supporting the short term self interests of a small section of the community at the expense of the longterm wellbeing of the community as a whole. Bruce Duffy, Chelsea

Protect the wedge

SO, five ‘Tea Party’ Kingston councillors decide to rezone green wedge land to allow housing. Just for a minority group that happen to be landholders, but against the excellent Kingston Green Wedge Plan and a community majority who want the Kingston Green Wedge protected. We’ll have a new 53-hectare suburb bringing environmental impacts next to Braeside Park, and also next to Southern Golf Club that may be forced to shut down and existing 4 hectare lots between Heatherton and Lower Dandenong Roads subdivided into 20 life-style lots of 2000 sq metres minimum (three average size house blocks) that, as planning history shows, will eventually become high density suburbs. Meanwhile, I wonder if any secret deals are being made between our council and Mentone Grammar to carve up green space?

Anything else - nature, even parks and sportsfields - may eventually go. If this gets the go-ahead from Planning Minister Matthew Guy, it may spell the end of Melbourne’s green wedges, as other councils may be pressured to rezone the green wedges out of existence. The Kingston and Melbourne community lose out on amenity - we get more heat and more pollution from loss of green space that cools and cleans the air, more traffic and road congestion, loss of local food production for farmers markets, and endless suburbs. Market gardens have long operated in rich soils of the Kingston Green Wedge. Some land now looks uncared for but the soil is still good; hence, an organic licence issued to Greens Organic Farm in Heatherton. Let’s keep former premier Dick Hamer’s vision for green arable spaces around Melbourne for nature, food, livestock, nurseries and recreation, and save our Kingston Green Wedge.

Life savers short on support

Drunk drivers run out of luck

CHELSEY Reindel and her Kilbreda College classmates are helping surf life saving clubs raise the flags. The 15-year-old Bonbeach resident and her friends are getting together to take part in this year’s Boardies Day event at school. The teenagers are aiming to raise at least $300 by asking fellow students to donate money to the cause to be able to wear boardies to school on Friday 28 March. Chelsey and several of her friends are Bonbeach Life Saving Club members and enjoy volunteering their time to help out at the club. They are currently completing a Surf Rescue Certificate course. “Surf Life Saving relies on funding from Boardies Day to help with the purchase of vital rescue equipment to save lives,” Chelsey said. Donate to life saving clubs via the Boardies Day fundraiser at www.boardiesday.com.au or http://my.slsfundraising.com/ ChelseyBonbeach

Batty murder triggers warrant overhaul Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au POLICE procedures for processing warrants will be overhauled to ensure they are enacted more quickly in the wake of the murder of 11-year-old Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty by his father, Greg Anderson, who was wanted by police at the time of the incident. Chelsea police had an opportunity to detain Anderson after they spoke to him at a Chelsea Heights address over another violent incident three weeks before he murdered his son last month but failed to do so because they were unaware of five separate warrants out for his arrest. Anderson was shot by police following the murder and later died in hospital. Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said an outdated IT system was to blame for the delay in spreading information about the warrants.

A review of Victoria Police’s warrant procedures launched following the incident found that the current process resulted in delays of at least two weeks before all police officers were made aware of the existence of an outstanding warrant. “The review recognised this inefficient process delayed opportunities to apprehend offenders and has the potential to compromise community safety,” police said in a statement. Currently, court-issued bench warrants require the warrant and brief to be forwarded by the prosecutor via a secure document exchange service to the informant’s station, police said. “Once the brief and warrant is received at the station, the informant then has two weeks to attempt to execute the warrant. “If the warrant is unable to be executed after two weeks, the informant sends the unexecuted warrant to the Victoria

Police’s record services division, where it is entered into the Law Enforcement Assistance Program (LEAP).” New procedures set to be implemented by Victoria Police from 1 April will require warrants to be forwarded directly from the prosecutor’s office via a secure document exchange service to record services where they will be immediately entered onto LEAP, police said. “The warrants will then be visible organisation-wide within two to four days. However warrants issued for offenders identified as high risk by prosecutors will be given priority and actioned immediately. “The new procedure will significantly improve the ability to locate and apprehend wanted persons in a timely manner. This will further result in the prevention and reduction of offenders committing additional crimes.” The state government announced $2.5

million in funding on Tuesday to provide “the additional resources required to ensure the success of the project”. Police and Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells said the funding would help ensure warrants were available to all police electronically within one to four days of their issue. Police will also implement a longerterm solution that involves the implementation of technology that would enable immediate upload of warrants direct from the courts. “We cannot have a situation where warrants for serious crimes are issued against a person but most police don’t know about them,” Mr Wells said. “In response to a request from the Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay, the state government is pleased to provide funding that will significantly streamline processes related to arrest warrants.”

A DRUNK teenage driver who crashed into a tree in Seaford last Saturday night was tracked down and arrested by the police dog squad after fleeing and leaving his wrecked car in the middle of a busy road. Police said the 18-year-old driver and an passenger were lucky to have been able to walk at all after the car they were travelling in lost control in wet conditions and slammed into a tree on Railway Pde about 10pm. Highway patrol officers found the wrecked Ford Falcon sedan abandoned in the middle of the road and called in the air wing and dog squad to search for the pair. They were located a short time later at the Frankton railway station and taken into custody. The P-plate driver, from Karingal, returned a blood-alcohol reading of .141. His licence was immediately suspended and he is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving, leaving the scene of an accident and other traffic-related offences. Leading Senior Constable Woodford said the young driver and his passenger were “very lucky” to have avoided serious injury. “It is sheer luck that they managed to walk away. This could very well have been a fatal collision.” Two days earlier, another drunk driver who almost ran into the back of a police car at Carrum Downs had his licence immediately suspended after recording a blood-alcohol reading almost four-times the legal limit. Police said the 48-year-old man almost collided with the rear of their highway patrol car when his Ford Falcon was intercepted on Frankston-Dandenong Rd about 8pm last Thursday. The Wantirna man returned a bloodalcohol reading of .191. His licence was immediately suspended for 12 months.

Fatal Carrum fire FIRE engulfed a Stanley St unit in Carrum last Sunday with four fire trucks arriving on the scene at about 10.50am. A man, believed to be in his 50s, was found dead in the residence. Police investigating the fatal fire deemed it “non suspicious”.

Rates reviewed MORE than 150 Kingston residents and ratepayers took part in a council-run consultation about rates. Kingston City Council will now conduct a detailed rates review. Council said it was challenging to balance investment in infrastructure and services with affordable rates and will continue reviewing its rating strategy as part of its budget process.

Cancer shock for Bauer

Health scare: Carrum MP Donna Bauer has been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Picture: Gary Sissons

CARRUM Liberal MP Donna Bauer has warned others to look after themselves even if they are “too busy” after her “shock” at being diagnosed with bowel cancer. The 43-year-old mother-of-four said she hoped to be back in action soon but needed a short time to recover from surgery to remove a cancerous growth discovered during a colonoscopy. “Bowel cancer is one of the most curable types of cancer if detected early,” Ms Bauer said. “I am one of about 15,000 Australians to be diagnosed with bowel cancer every year.” Ms Bauer said doctors were confident the tumour was contained and had been

successfully removed during major surgery last week. She told The News she had been feeling tired for no discernible reason before a medical check-up had discovered a tumour in her bowel. “I urge you all to listen to your body, and do everything you can to stay healthy. We should never be too busy to look after ourselves.” Ms Bauer’s office is open for business as usual and will be staffed while she recuperates. “This has been a shock to me and my family. But I am in good spirits and positive about the future. I will begin a six-week course of chemotherapy in a few weeks.”

She vowed to be fit to contest the state election in November. “Mrs Bauer has advised me that she is confident of making a full recovery and looks forward to continuing to serve the people of Carrum as their elected Member of Parliament,” Premier Denis Napthine said. “The thoughts of all members of Parliament are with Donna and her family at this time, and we wish her a speedy and full recovery.” Ms Bauer won the seat of Carrum from previous Labor incumbent Jenny Lindell at the 2010 state election by a tight 2.07 per cent margin.

Monarch bumped at berth on return THERE was slight inconvenience awaiting her majesty’s arrival in Melbourne last Wednesday when it was discovered her normal place to stay was pre-booked. The majesty in question was the cruise ship Queen Mary 2, which found itself unceremoniously bumped for a berth at Station Pier by Celebrity Solstice. Although the 345-metre Queen Mary 2 is the largest cruise ship to use Australian waters, the Port of Melbourne Corporation said it would honour the earlier booking by Celebrity Solstice (115 metres), moving the monarch to the more industrial Webb Dock. Both cruise ships came and went on the same day, moving south past bayside beaches toward The Heads at sunset. The second visit of the Queen Mary 2 this year is part of a record cruise ship season ending in

May bringing about 200,000 passengers and crew to Melbourne. “It’s important to give certainty to the cruise lines using Station Pier that we will honour their booking,” port chief executive Nick Easy said. “We appreciate it is a highly unusual circumstance but Webb Dock is the only alternative berth available given the requirement to accommodate a 345-metre vessel.” Mr Easy said it was worth making the extra effort for Queen Mary 2. “Working collaboratively with Cunard and Patrick Ports and Stevedoring, which will play a key role on the day, the port corporation continues to ensure Melbourne benefits from the vibrant cruise tourism sector estimated to generate about $1 million to the Victorian economy for each cruise ship visit,” he said.

PARKDALE Preschool pupils took a step back in time during a hands-on dinosaur discovery day last week. The budding paleontologists heard all about the prehistoric giants thanks to a Melbourne Museum presentation. With the aid of fossils, dinosaur bones, lifesize replicas and photographs, the children in the four-year-old sessions examined the ways humans have come to understand dinosaurs through finding and studying fossils. Early childhood teacher Megan Miller said the children learned about ancient time periods and touched real dinosaur fossils from the Museum Victoria collection. “Dinosaurs have long been the subject of

fascination for children,’’ Ms Miller said. “The preschoolers were able to see life-size replicas of dinosaur skulls, feet and legs to truly understand the enormity of these ancient creatures.” Parkdale Pre-School is a non-profit kindergarten run by a parent-led committee. The kindergarten will hold its first open day on Saturday 29 March at 9.30-11.30am, Parkdale Pre-School, Alameda Place, Parkdale. Applications for the kindergarten’s 2015 three-year-old sessions will open on the day and close on 11 April. Call 9580 1155 or visit www. parkdalepreschool.com.au online for further information.

Enjoy being cared for Family history: Kimba Wall enjoys reading about the positive impact she has had on her family in the Now I See book. Picture: Gary Sissons

The upside of Down Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CHELSEA SES volunteer Phil Wall well remembers the moment he and his wife Maryann were told by a doctor that their first-born child, a girl, would have Down syndrome. It was mid-December 1989 and Kimba was due to be born later that month. “It felt like the worst possible news at the time, but looking back we got the best Christmas present ever,” Mr Wall said. His memory of that day is vividly described in a new book entitled Now I See, compiled by Carolyn McDiarmid and Angela Blakston. Mr Wall’s family story called Surprise, Surprise is one of 50 in the book, written by parents and grandparents of children with Down syndrome. Ms McDiarmid and Ms Blakston decided to publish a book detailing the experiences of families including a Down syndrome child after reading a US book and realising there was no equivalent for Australian families. Book editor Ms Blakston is a journalist with more than 20 years’ experience, including a 14year stint at The Age. “Carolyn and I were really good friends and coincidentally both ended up having boys with Down syndrome born six months apart,” Ms Blakston said. “Carolyn is a midwife and she thought it would be a good idea to let other families know about the reality of living with Down syndrome.” The pair put the call out for contributions via

Down syndrome organisations four years ago and Phil answered the call which now sees his family’s story captured in print. “It’s initially fear of the unknown when the doctors tell you the news,” Phil said. “But this book is great for families since it’s written by families and not medical professionals.” “I wish something like this had been available when Kimba was born 25 years ago.” Kimba said it was exciting to be featured in Now I See. “The book is fantastic,” she said. Kimba has followed her father’s lead and volunteers at the Family Life op shop in Chelsea a couple of times per week. “I sort out the clothes, arrange the racks and basically do everything there,” she said. “I just thought I’d give it a real good go since my dad’s also a volunteer.” Mr Wall said Kimba’s arrival in his family’s life had made him now see it can be good to be different. It’s a lesson both he, his wife and Kimba’s younger brother Dave have come to appreciate. “When Kimba was born we wondered how we would live with her,” he said. “Now we don’t know how we’d live without her. She’s an inspirational kid.” It’s a sentiment shared by Kimba. “I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful mum, dad and brother,” she said. n Buy the Now I See book via www.nowisee. com.au for $25 plus postage. All proceeds go to printing more copies of the book. Kingston City Council has agreed to buy copies to be made available at all Kingston libraries.

The write way for Whiteway IT’S never too late in life to become a writer. That’s the message 72-year-old Sandringham author Shirley Whiteway will be sharing at Mentone Public Library next week. The former medical secretary and carer for the frail and elderly said she decided to turn her hand to writing in 2004 when she enrolled in a writing course at Hampton Community Centre after seeing the course advertised in a newspaper. “I’d retired and thought ‘gosh what will I do now?’ because I wanted to stay mentally active,” she said. Mrs Whiteway enjoyed the writing course so much she went on to complete a four-year professional writing and editing course at Holmesglen TAFE and, from there, decided to write a novel. “At first I didn’t like having my writing corrected while doing the course but eventually I realised it made me a much better writer.” Evidence of Mrs Whiteway’s late blooming as a writer is Juliet – The Hatmaker’s Loves…, a novella published in February last year. The book is “a tale of tough men, tougher women, isolation and cruelty…about a woman who finds love in later life after years of being married off to a widower who she mostly avoided by making hats”. Mrs Whiteway’s short story, Bayside Reflections, won a Bayside City Council short story competition last year. She said she based much of her fictional writing loosely on family history she researched. Join Shirley Whiteway, the former president and current treasurer of the Society of Women Writers in Victoria, for tea and good literary conversation at Mentone Public Library, 36 Florence St, Mentone (rear of Citizens’ Advice Bureau) at 11am on Saturday 29 March. Entry is by gold coin donation. Call 9583 5648 or visit www.mentonepubliclibrary. blogspot.com for further information. Buy Juliet – The Hatmaker’s Loves… via www. shirleywhitewaywriter.com.au

A dark and stormy night EMERGENCY services crews were kept busy last Saturday evening when a storm unleashed a torrent of rainfall just after 4.30pm. Calls for help came from Patterson Lakes through to Mordialloc; mainly for flooding and building damage. An air conditioner blew off of a roof at Patterson Lakes and the United service station in McLeod Rd suffered severe damage to its canopy. Two sections of the Woolworths supermarket ceiling at Mordialloc collapsed (pictured) in both the main checkout area and the drinks section. Fortunately, there were no injuries in either area. Many roads in the area were flooded and some houses came close to being flooded.

AROUND THE REGION

Cool rules on junior footy fields By Chris Brennan AFL legend Lenny Hayes reckons Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League players are the coolest footballers in the land. The inspirational St Kilda midfielder and fellow AFL hard-nut Melbourne co-captain Nathan Jones have signed on as ambassadors to a unique program that aims to make the peninsula’s junior league a showpiece for fair play and sportsmanship. If the Keep Your Cool program succeeds in eliminating aggressive behaviour on both sides of the fence, the AFL wants to roll out the scheme nationally. The program was developed by peninsula parents concerned about the level of aggression and hostility creeping into junior ranks. In one ugly incident last August, a boy was punched during an under-14s final between Mt Martha and Somerville. Keep Your Cool co-chairperson Wendy Hanrahan said the idea began with casual conversations between parents watching their children play during last year’s finals. “We’d been witnessing some troubling behaviours on both sides of the fence and felt something needed to be done to address the aggression and ensure football remained fun and safe,” she said. “Children seem to feel pressured to go really hard and play aggressively, and this can sometimes spill over into actual violence, but there’s obviously a big difference between professional AFL matches and under-10s. “There are different issues at each

Top support: St Kilda star Lenny Hayes, centre, is backing Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League’s Keep Your Cool program designed to eliminate aggressive behaviour on both sides of the fence. At the Saints’ Seaford base to launch the program with Hayes are Joe Boase, 15, of South Mornington club and Paige Stone, 10, of Dromana. Picture: Gary Sissons

age level that need to be addressed and we want to change people’s perception of what is normal behaviour for junior players.” She said the Keep Your Cool program was not about trying to “take the football out of football”. “It’s a tough, physical game and eve-

ryone wants it to remain that way. “But it should also be safe and fun for children to play where fair play and true sportsmanship are the most highly valued qualities. “Aussie Rules is a fantastic sport; it encourages mateship, sportsmanship and builds leadership abilities, so we

want kids to feel safe and to enjoy the game and for their parents to be happy for them to do so.” Keep Your Cool was officially launched during last year’s grand final day and this year will be the first season in which the program is fully implemented across all Mornington

Peninsula junior football teams. The program will run in conjunction with a Monash University study supported by the AFL that aims to identify and address the systemic causes of violence in junior football. The program aims to: n Promote fair play and sportsmanship by fostering a culture of respect through behaviour change on both sides of the fence. n Gather facts to accurately address both apparent and systemic causes of inappropriate behaviour and measure changes observed over time. n Educate players, spectators and officials on appropriate behaviour and establish a culture of respect at junior football matches. n Improve the quality of junior coaches and umpires through building skills and education programs aligned to the Keep Your Cool philosophy. n Develop club accreditation frameworks and practices that reward clubs based on club policies, behaviour history and a willingness to deal with people who don’t comply.

Record attempt on the road FRANK Peniguel is out to set a record by travelling around Victoria playing bowls. The 70-year-old, left. has given himself a year to play 600-900 games on different greens to join the holders of Guinness World Records. Last week he was in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula: Rosebud and Dromana on Tuesday, Mt Martha and Mornington, Wednesday, and Frankston South (Yamala Park) and Frankston on Thursday. Peniguel joined Elsternwick Bowls Club in 2005 and left his Daylesford home in his Kombi van on 9 January to set a new world record.

He will play 10 ends against one bowler from each of the clubs he visits. Distance is the only thing keeping him away from the Northern Territory and Western Australia. "It's just too far between clubs and I need to play all games within one year," Peniguel said on Wednesday after playing his 100th game at Dromana. He was also lining up some expert help to enable him to upload photos to his website, hittheroadjack.net.au KeithPlatt Picture: Yanni

Club swells peninsula’s surfing history PENINSULA Surfriders Club is planning a “spectacular event” to celebrate it 40th anniversary later this month. Secretary Jane Featherston said the club had cultivated a “rich history of surfing life throughout the Mornington Peninsula”. Peninsula “surfing pioneers” Ted Bainbridge, John Wilson, Skip Easton, Mick Pearce and Michael Schaeffer had officially started the club at a committee meeting held behind a surf shop in Frankston. “At that time, in the early 1970s, there was a growing group of surfers on the peninsula who were becoming a force to be reconed with in Victorian surfing,” Ms Featherston said. This “force” from the peninsula started in 1972 when Mick Parkinson, of Blairgowrie, won the Victorian junior title. This was followed the following year by Ian Portingale and Carol

Watts who won the women’s title. “In 1974 we had Ian first and Phil Trigger second in the Victorian open men’s event, which was a huge effort,” Ms Featherston said. “Carol won the women’s again. Rob Licciardo won the juniors in 1975 and Warren Partington the senior men’s title.” Ms Featherston said the club’s strength was proved again in 1976 when Portingale and Phil Trigger “did a one/two again in the open men’s” and its juniors took out the first three places in state titles: Kelly Pritchard, 1; Gary Burns, 2; and Ian Cochrane, 3. That same year Alan “Wally” Tibballs won the Easter Bells trials event. Mick Pierce won in 1977 and Ian Cochrane won the juniors that year with Phil Coates in 1978 & 79. And in 1986 Garry Taylor won the Easter Bells trials event.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 19 March 2014

“Before the PSC started there were no regular peninsula surfers who attained such high positions in the Victorian contests. There were plenty from the northern bayside suburbs, but they all surfed the Torquay area,” Ms Featherston said. “Now, 40 years later, after thousands of memberships, PSC has grown and evolved to be one of the most respected and successful surfriding clubs in Australia. “Friendships and families have been built upon mutual lifetimes spent in the waves around the peninsula, and the world.” All past and present members of the club, their families and friends. have been invited to celebrate its 40th anniversary from 2pm at the clubhouse, 691 Truemans Rd, Fingal (near Gunnamatta) on Saturday 22 March. Entry is $10. Keith Platt

A Hidden Oasis ______________________________

Hidden in a cul-de-sac at the rear of a small quiet block of eight, this modern, well-kept unit hides a further surprise behind one of its doors. The front door opens to a comfortable lounge with gas heating and reverse cycle air conditioning. Turn to the left and you find two light filled bedrooms; the guest room with built in robes and the master with a walk in robe. Both bedrooms, and the living room, have floor to ceiling windows. The next door opens to the separate bathroom, then toilet, linen cupboard and laundry with access to rear yard. To the right of the lounge is a modern kitchen with ample cupboards lining the walls and modern splash backs above the benches. There is a breakfast bar and a dining area. By now, you may have glanced through the kitchen window and seen the water feature and large timber deck. As you open the last door, the sliding door to the deck, you are possibly thinking how nice it will be for entertaining when you notice the pool fence, and beyond, the landscaped garden and the in-built 8-person spa. A small stroll behind the spa takes you to the storage shed named ‘The beach house’. It is your own private paradise. This large and comfortable rear yard will certainly make you feel at home and the best part is it’s all low maintenance with artificial grass. The home also has a single remote control lock up garage and is located within walking distance to schools, playgrounds, parks and shops. Also close to freeways and transport.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Respected resident departs; fire brigade thanked with donations Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 March 1914 MR Andrew McLellan, a highly esteemed and popular resident, was on Saturday night last entertained by the townspeople of Mornington in the Mechanics Institute, and presented with a handsome writing desk and a valuable Rotherhain gold watch, suitably inscribed. Cr J. D. Grover (president of the Shire) presided, and spoke in glowing terms of their honoured guest, who was leaving Mornington to go into business with his brother, Mr Adam McLellan, M.L.A., of Melbourne. The Hon A. Downward, M.L.A., Mr W. S. Cook, Crs T. Male, A. E. Bates, and other prominent residents expressed regret in losing such a highly esteemed and popular citizen, and, as one speaker remarked, Mr McLellan was looked upon as the father of Mornington, for in sickness or in trouble his services were always sought and cheerfully given, and in every public movement, Mr McLellan was ever foremost. *** THE secretary of the Frankston fire brigade desires to acknowledge with thanks, donations of £6.3s from Sir John Madden, and £1 from Mr Plummer towards the funds of the brigade. The above gentlemen are highly pleased with the assistance rendered by the brigade during the recent fires. *** OWING to pressure of our space we are compelled to hold over several contributions to our letter box, and other items of interest. *** A FIRST class concert in aid of the

funds of the Frankston Brass Band, will be held in the Mechanic’s Hall on Wednesday next, March 25th. During an interval, the balance sheet of the band for the past 12 months will be submitted. *** THE committee formed at the last Water Conference to go into the question of rating met on Friday last, and their report will be submitted at the next conference. The report of the engineer is now prepared, and copies will be printed for distribution before the next conference is held. *** THE fifteenth half yearly meeting of the Langwarrin Progress Association was held in the vestry of the Methodist church on Monday evening, March 9th. There was a fair attendance of members and the president Mr J. Archibald occupied the chair. The report for the half year was a very satisfactory one, and showed that good work had been carried out by the working bees, lectures had been arranged for and given by Mr Rintoral, the English poultry expert, on matters of great importance to poultry keepers, and by Mr C. D. Sampson, the American fruit packing expert, on the successful packing and marketing of fruit. A very enjoyable social was also tendered to Cr Lloyd to celebrate his return for the third time as the representative of this district in the Cranbourne shire council. Other matters of importance to the district had also been attended to, and altogether the work carried out by the association showed that it was a valuable factor in the district. So much so that it was imperative that everyone in

the district should join and help on materially the good that was being done. Owing to four members having left the district, the membership had declined to that extent. The balance sheet showed that a good amount had

It is with much pleasure that I can now announce that the letter box at the Langwarrin Railway Station will shortly be cleared at 5:30 p.m by the guard of the train running through at about that time. been expended for the term, leaving a small credit balance. The election of officers resulted as follows:- President, Mr J. Archibald. Vice president, Mr H. Oates. Hon. Secretary, Mr C. W. Murray. Treasurer, Mr P. J. Murray. Committee: Mr C. J. Corlett. Mr J. Corlett, Mr Eliott. Mrs W. Oates, Mr A. J. Clarke, Mr S. Lloyd, Mr C. Stowe. Auditors: Messrs A. J. Clark

and J. Corlett. Mr Archibald and Mr Murray were highly complimented on the successful manner in which each had carried out their respective duties for the term and the President suitably responded. A coffee supper provided by the ladies, and to which full justice was done, brought the proceedings to a close, not, however, before a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the ladies for so thoughtfully providing the supper. *** THE anniversary services of the Methodist church were celebrated on Sunday March 15th, and the two services held in the afternoon and evening were especially well attended. The Rev Copeland conducted the afternoon service and Mr E. J. Stranger, the evening. Both to an appreciative congregation. On the following evening, Monday, a very enjoyable concert was held, performers for which not only embraced local talent, but also 6 visitors from Melbourne, Frankston, and Cranbourne. *** IT is with much pleasure that I can now announce that the letter box at the Langwarrin Railway Station will shortly be cleared at 5.30 p.m. by the guard of the train running through Langwarrin to Melbourne at about that time. This will prove a great boom to all residents, thanks for which will be gratefully felt by the humble person, who contributes voluntarily most of the items of this districts news, and for which he sometimes receives more kicks than coppers. *** THE Somerville Show was formally

opened by Sir Frank Madden, who, while expressing the great pleasure it gave him to be present, said that he was amazed to see the improvement in the district. There had been a marvellous development on the best lines, and Somerville had made its name known all over the world. There was more to be done, however, and he advised the younger fruitgrowers to find out every possible wrinkle regarding the growing of fruit, the markets. etc., and told them not to stop till they were at the top. It gave him pleasure to declare the show open, and he wished it every success. *** ON Saturday next, the French Island Cricket Club will visit Tyabb, and try conclusions with the local team. The secretary would like as many of the local ladies who can attend in the afternoon, and kindly assist with the serving of afternoon tea. *** I WISH to endorse all the recommendations made by “Fair Play” in your last issue. The Eramosa road is certainly a disgrace to the Shire and the Councillors. It may interest a few of your readers to know that there were only two loads of metal put on one mile of this road during the past two years, which I think constitutes a record for a main road. A better system for the inspection of the roads ought to be made. I will readily offer my services to take the Councillors along this road in a cart, dray, or wagon, on a tour of inspection, but not in an automobile as it might strain its mechanism trying to force its way through the impassable wastes.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Mistaken for The National’s Matt Berninger By Stuart McCullough ART-ROCK ensemble R.E.M. once opined: “That’s me in the corner.” When it comes to attending live music events, not only am I invariably in the corner, but way up the back, wedged against a vending machine and stuck behind someone who’s much taller. Live music is a wonderful thing, but sometimes the idea of seeing a band live doesn’t quite match the actual experience. That’s because seeing a band is an exercise in faith. You go in the hope that it might be an exhilarating, life-changing experience. Mostly though, it’s a really late night from which it takes you the rest of the week to recover. I was in a band before I really started seeing them. At thirteen, I played synthesiser with some older people. It sounds incredibly cool but, in truth, I was terrified of playing a dud note. Not long after, I was in a band with kids my own age including my younger brother. One of our earliest gigs was supporting a band called The Switch. They were older and American and we were awestruck. To them, we would have looked like we’d just finished work at Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Somewhere, I have a tape of that apocryphal performance. It’s just a couple of minutes but, believe me, it’s more than enough. The song in question begins with an atmospheric synthesiser overture before – gulp – a spoken word introduction. It gets worse. Whilst the first part of the song is performed in near darkness, when the band kicks in, the guy at the desk wakes up and we are bathed in light.

Like looking into a mirror: The National singer and Stuart McCullough doppleganger Matt Berninger.

It’s at that moment that we begin our synchronised dance moves. Had I been in the audience rather than on the stage, I doubt very much that I would have complained about being in the back corner with my view obstructed. I would have been grateful. There are certain rules when it comes to seeing a band. Firstly, wher-

ever you stand is a thoroughfare. People will push in front, behind and side on as they seek to get from A to Z and all points of the alphabet in between. Secondly, all attendees at a concert have a duty to try to prevent someone’s drink from being spilled. Not just your own. Holding a drink that’s lapping at the brim creates an auto-

headed for my usual position along the back fence behind the recycling bins. However, it seems Dr J had managed to secure tickets in row ‘N’, right smack-bang in the middle. I could see the stage. I could even see the people on the stage. It was an experience that was so strange, so novel that I barely knew what to do with myself. After two hours of exhilarating music, all of which I saw as well as heard, the concert reached something of a crescendo. It was then that lead singer, Matt Berninger, threw himself into the audience and, with microphone in hand, began making his way through the crowd. As the song went on he drew ever closer until he began to stroll down row ‘N’ in our direction. The people to my left celebrated by groping him, filming the assault on a mobile phone. As he squeezed past me, I applied ‘public toilet rules’ in which I did everything humanly possible to avoid actual physical contact. Matt Berninger, obviously appreciative of my efforts not manhandle him, looked up. Not only were we the same age, but the same height also, both with a beard and glasses, except Matt Berninger looked every inch the rock star and I looked like I’d just been to Bunnings. In a strange way, it was like looking at a novelty mirror. Whether it was glimpse of the road less travelled or just a great night out matters little. I’m just grateful that there are people not unlike me who are making great music. And that I ever got close enough to realise it for myself. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

matic right of way. The third rule is that, no matter how tall you are, someone taller will stand in front of you. You could be as tall as Chinese basketball giant Yao Ming and drop in to catch a set by your favourite band and still end up with someone obstructing your view. For some reason, I always have a lousy view when I go to see bands. Even if I arrive early and use fluorescent traffic cones to cordon off a space that’s stage centre, I invariably find myself shuffled like a dud card to somewhere down the back of the venue. Although I’m always pressed up against the emergency exit, I have a friend who has an uncanny gift to find her way to the very front no matter how crowded. We once arrived at Festival Hall to find it stuffed like a cocktail olive. Within seconds, she had vanished into the crowd, weaving her way towards the front. My brother and I remained where we were. For some reason, the crowd seemed unwilling to let us pass and resented our attempts to do so. Perhaps they thought we were pushing in. Maybe they had seen the video of us supporting The Switch and wanted to teach us a lesson. Either way, they had a point. There’s a band I like called The National. They play a literate brand of baritone art rock that appeals to me greatly. That the band members are all my age probably helps. It is music for the head, as well as the heart. When they announced they were touring Melbourne, our friend Dr J got tickets. When we arrived at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, I immediately

Doggies dance over Sharks PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON was in the box seat to turn years’ of disappointment into a year of great achievement in the MPCA Provincial grand final. The Doggies have been the most consistent side in the competition this season and went into the match against Sorrento as favourite. Meanwhile, the Sharks were looking to make amends for their poor showing against Peninsula Old Boys the season before in the big dance. In that match against the Old Boys,

the Sharks were bowled out for 133 chasing 197. History seemed to set to repeat itself on the first day of the 2013/14 grand final, with Sorrento up against it at 8/120 off 56 overs before rain put a stop to the day’s play. The Sharks’ only source of hope could be to draw on last year’s final when they had POB reeling at 8/123 before the Old boy’s Trevor Johnson went on to make 59 to help his side to 197 and victory. On Saturday, the Sharks won the toss and elected to bat.

Despite heavy rain prior to the match at Dromana Reserve, the ground was playing well but was still slippery under foot. Luke Popov and Michael Heib took the new ball for the Dogs and were right on target early. Nick Jewell opened the batting with Jedd Falck and while Falck was scratchy, Jewell belted a short Heib ball to the boundary with a classic pull shot off the first delivery he faced. The Mornington fieldsmen were up and about and their efforts in the field were first class, a number of cracking

Jewell shots stopped without a run being made. Both Popov and Heib were swinging the ball away from the left-handed Falck and into Jewell. Sorrento quickly fell to 2/22 after Popov got rid of Falck and Heib knocked over Liam O’Connor before he could add to the scoreboard. Mornington skipper Matt Foon then rattled the pegs of Jewell with his second delivery of the day, and when Leigh Poholke became Popov’s second victim after a blinding one-handed catch at fine gully, the Sharks were

reeling at 4/30 from just 13 overs. Anthony Blackwell, who averages just eight in finals, needed a big score to get his side back in the contest. He top scored with 26 but that wasn’t enough. Chris King contributed 17. At the end of play, Nick Davern was unbeaten on 23, with AJ King at the other end. AJ’s highest score this season was seven. Davern has already passed his highest score of 16, which happened to be against Mornington in round seven. Popov finished day one with 3/27, while Foon finished with 3/28.

Two flags in three seasons for Pines DISTRICT

By IT Gully A MAGNIFICENT spell of fast bowling from Pines opening quick Brett Remy placed his side in the box seat to win the MPCA District flag. In front of a massive crowd at Mornington’s Alexandra Park, Pines rolled Delacombe Park for just 94 in 52.5 overs on Saturday, before finishing the afternoon themselves on 0/37. The evergreen Remy, who seems to threaten retirement every season, bowled 21 overs against Delacombe Park. Remy finished with the more than tidy figures of 5/33, including 10 maidens. When he took his fifth wicket, his figures were 5/11 from 14 overs. The Parkers were never in the contest, losing wickets at quick intervals.

Jon Gurthrie was rolled for a duck by Nick Wilcox after facing 20 balls and, although Nick Christides’ first two scoring shots found the boundary, he was rolled for 13. After eight overs, Delacombe Park was 2/13. They then struggled to 5/42 from 28 overs. Joel Malcolm scored 13, Chris Brittain seven, Simon Dignan eight and Andrew Christides was out for a duck. Ben Brittain (13) and Shane Deal offered a little bit of resistance in the middle order, taking the score from 6/43 in the 30th over to 6/70 at tea. Brett Chard made a handy 17 at the end, while Varun Singh scored nine, but it wasn’t enough to push the score beyond 100. Chasing just 95 for victory, Pines resumed on day two at 0/37, Remy unbeaten on 21 and Rhys Chalkley on 16 not out.

Third time lucky for Hillmen in final SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully AFTER years of heartache, it appears Red Hill has finally kicked the monkey off its back. Going into the grand final against Rosebud as hot favourites, the Hillmen had to put seasons of failed attempts behind them to place themselves in a position to taste the ultimate reward. The Hillmen have lost their past two grand finals against Pines and Seaford Tigers. And despite rain interruptions throughout the day’s play, the Hillmen were able to set-up their win with a sensational opening day of batting. After winning the toss and batting at Pearcedale Reserve, the Hillmen got away to a flier, with openers Andrew Mock and Ken Sullivan putting on 84. Sullivan was the attacking batsman in the opening stand and lost his wicket a short time after Mock (25) for 51. That brought Rheede Hopgood and Simon Dart to the crease together within a short space of time.

PAGE 26

Hopgood was the aggressor in that partnership and with Dart, helped take the score from 2/84 to 181 before he was tragically run out for 64. Riley Shaw (six) and Brent Martin (five) didn’t hang around long and at the close of play on Saturday afternoon, the Hillmen were in the box seat at 5/216. With Dart unbeaten on 49 and with Lincoln Toy (two not out) and Andrew Brown and Jamie McCall still to come, the Hillmen are well set up to push 250plus. In anyone’s language, it’s not often a side that scores over 250 in a grand final lose. The Hillmen scored 197 in the grand final last season against Seaford Tigers (7/296), while the year before, the Hillmen were rolled for 99, chasing Pines’ 281. History says Red Hill was in a terrific position on Saturday night. Jason Nagel was the pick of the Rosebud bowlers after the first day with 2/61 from 26 overs. Darren Kerr and Peter Doughty were the other wicket takers.

CHELSEA MORDIALLOC MENTONE NEWS scoreboard

Clements crowned number 1 for season By IT Gully MORNINGTON run machine Ben Clements was crowned with the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association’s highest honour last week when he won the W B Wedgewood Medal. Clements (17 votes) polled in seven of the 11 games this season, finishing three votes clear of two allrounders, Long Island’s Scott Phillips and Baxter’s Dale Irving, as well as Sorrento skipper Nick Jewell, who all finished on 14 votes. Crib Point’s Luke Herrington was a further vote back on 13.

Clements scored 1185 runs this season, 806 of them coming in 13 innings in home-and-away matches. This gave him an average of 62 for the season, with a high score of 129 against Mt Eliza in round 3 (he also scored 126 against Heatherhill in round nine). Clements’ lowest score for the season was five against Long Island. He scored 40 in the second innings of that match. Clements also scored plenty of runs in the Jack Peacock Cup, including knocks of 99, 70, 84 and 118. District

In District ranks, Delacombe Park teammates Chris Brittain and Jon Guthrie drove each other to the line in a tight and tense medal count. But the skipper, Brittain, finally nudged out the opening batsman to win the E G Betts Medal. Brittain polled in six games to give him 15 votes while Guthrie was just one vote back after polling in five matches. Seaford star Damien Lawrence was third in the count on 13 votes while Shaun Foster (Carrum) and Corey Hand (Seaford Tigers) both polled 12 votes.

Brittain scored 407 runs this season with a highest score of 104 against Baden Powell in Round nine. His batting average was 36.45. He also snared 39 wickets at an average of 9.10. His best bowling figures were 6/36 against Hastings in Round four. Sub District In the Subbies, Red Hill star Simon Dart was a raging-hot favourite for the Robert Thompson Award and won it with 14 votes. Dart tipped out Dromana’s Danny Timmer and Balnarring’s Mark Walles, who both polled 11 votes.

Rosebud’s Jason Nagel, along with Paul Bradley (YCW), Glenn Collett (Red Hill), Jacob Cook (Balnarring) and Shayne Gillings (Pearcedale) all polled 10 votes. Dart scored 608 runs this season and picked-up 12 wickets. He scored his first century (111) of the season in the final home-and-away game against YCW. He then backed it up with 135 in the semi-final. He averaged 67.44 for the season. His best bowling was against Dromana in round one when he snared 5/11 from eight overs but he didn’t bowl beyond round eight.

Players still on the move FOOTBALL

By Toe Punt WITH only a couple of weeks before the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League season opens, there are still plenty of player movements. Pearcedale will be devastated that both Rohan Hensby and Chris Swan have applied for clearances to head to the Goulburn Valley League. Hensby and Swan arrived from Tasmania a few years ago and have been sensational additions to the Panthers. The defender and midfielder will be big losses and come on the back of the loss of underrated Glenn Anderson, who is heading to the Ellinbank League. Nick Watersone is the latest player

to want out of Tyabb after applying for a clearance to Bonbeach, while Warren Hubbard also wants out. Red Hill has picked up promising former Mornington player Rhys McConville-Brain. Darren Booth has finally applied for a clearance from Rye to head back to Mt Eliza. The Demons knew at the end of last season that the star defender would be heading home. Hastings meanwhile has picked up Jarryd Elton from Tooradin. The Blues have also snared Karingal speedster Dale Alainis, a very dangerous small forward. From all reports, the Blues’ practice-match form has been superb. Meanwhile, there’s been talk for a few years about when Seaford gun Brayden Irving would join his

brothers at Frankston to play VFL. He has made the move this year, coming as a major blow for the Tigers. Bonbeach is adding some depth, none bigger than former Melbourne and Brisbane Lion player Travis Johnstone. Harley Ambrose is the latest player to want out of Karingal, joining the likes of Sam McGarry, Chris Hay, Brendan Dunne, David and Tim Hirst, Callan Dixon, Stephen Charalambous, Daniel Noble, Dale Alainis, Jared Eames, Ryan Jenke, Jack Johnson, Kane McKenzie, Anthony Joel and James Tyquin. Finally, clever and talented Mornington forward/midfielder James Cameron is going to try his luck in the VFL.
