the 87th

There’s nothing like it! where they live even more.

It is an event which only two world wars could (temporarily) halt. It brings together the greatest produce, arts and crafts, animals, food and outdoor entertainment the Peninsula has to offer.

And it culminates in the last Grand Parade to be held at any Victorian Agricultural Show. The 87th Red Hill Show will take over the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday, March 28th.

At the Red Hill Show it all comes together in one noisy, tasty, energetic, exciting, family-oriented spectacle. Check out the enormous pumpkins. Get hands-on with wool spinning, crafting, cooking and even African drumming. See cows being milked, ferrets racing and bulls lazily strutting their stuff in the cattle competition.

A celebration of all things agricultural, crafty, culinary and entertaining, the Red Hill Show is an institution which draws people from all over Victoria. Where else can you marvel at burly blokes competing in the woodchop, sip on locally brewed limoncello and honey liqueur, contemplate stunning amateur photography, then bring the kids face to face with an alpaca in one hall, and up to their knuckles in painting and craft in another?

Beyond animals of all shapes and sizes, entertainment for kids includes circus, kite, art and craft workshops, roving characters, fairground rides, a bungee pull and rock climbing wall.

Renowned as Melbourne’s food bowl, the Mornington Peninsula has long been feted for our exceptional agricultural produce. A scenic drive around the Peninsula’s towns, bays, rolling hills and bushland and it all unfolds: cattle, sheep, horses, fowl. Wineries, breweries, cheeseries, olive groves, farm gates. Populated by people who love what they do, and love

Show admission is $50 for a family (2 adults, 3 kids 6-18 years), $15 for adults and $10 for children 6-18. Kids 5 and under are free. Students and pensioners $10.

A ride on the mechanical bull is a more adult thrill; perhaps best attempted before hitting the incredible local food and refreshment stalls. Local musicians will add colour, sound and atmosphere all day long.

For more information, visit redhillshow.com.au, or follow the Show on Facebook and Twitter. See you at the Show!

In sync CULTURAL diversity and inclusiveness were on show in White St Mall last Thursday with passersby treated to street multicultural music and dance performances.

Cap plan cops ‘friendly fire’ attack Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au SOME of the harshest public criticism of the Andrews government’s proposal to cap rates has come from an unlikely source – one of Labor’s own. Cr Colin Hampton has broken party lines to condemn the party’s push to cap council rates across Victoria as “absolutely the worst policy decision the ALP has made in all the years I’ve been a member”.

The long-time Labor loyalist, a party member for 38 years, made the comment when he took to the airwaves to slam the Labor state government on radio station 3AW’s Drive show. Cr Hampton told The Times on Friday “the Labor Party is supposed to be looking after the benefits of the workers”. He said council’s costs are not linked to CPI and expenses such as staff salaries, for example, could be higher than the cost of living measurement. “The last EBA [enterprise bargain-

ing agreement] we signed off on was more than 3 per cent,” Cr Hampton said. The annual CPI figure is calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics based on the price of ‘a market basket’ of consumer goods and services paid for by households. CPI was 1.7 per cent last year, according to ABS data. Frankston Council bases its financial plans on annual rates rise of 5.5 per cent on average. If Labor’s plan to limit rate rises

to CPI increases comes into force Cr Hampton said ratepayers would save “about $70” annually but $22 million over four years would be ripped out of council’s budget and services will suffer. “People run the services and it will cost jobs.” Council has written to the CFMEU and Australian Services Union to ask for their support to convince Premier Daniel Andrews to break his “populist” promise made before last year’s state election.

The state government has tasked the Essential Services Commission with investigating how the rates cap policy can be implemented. Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins has said councils will be consulted by the ESC as part of the process. Councils will be able to make submissions to the ESC if they believe rate rises higher than CPI are needed but the state government plans to have ultimate approval on any such higher increases by any council in Victoria.

Frankston Times 23 March 2015

NEWS DESK

Now is time to Discovering the world with Nanna sway station say Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au OPINIONS on the Frankston train station redevelopment are being canvassed by Frankston Council. A draft submission to the state government’s Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce, headed by Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke, outlines council’s “vision” for the $50 million revamp of the transport hub. The draft, published on council’s website last week, states “the agreed vision” is “to achieve a high amenity, safe, landmark gateway destination that engages and connects people, spaces and transport services through inspiring design that delivers new vibrancy and invites new opportunities”. Council wants to see “an iconic entrance” and “civic square featuring green park space and public art components” as part of the station redevelopment. A multi-deck car park including office and retail facilities in partnership with Chisholm TAFE and “relocating government agencies” has also been suggested by council. The Times revealed last week the car park component of the transport hub could be a public private partnership project with commuters possibly paying to park at the station (‘Station parking fees flagged’, The Times 16/3/15). Young St traders have lobbied council to keep bus terminals at the front of the station, rather than move them

to Fletcher Rd, and council’s draft submission proposes buses remain in Young St if improvements to parking and traffic flow are made. Shop owners are concerned relocating buses will harm their businesses. Council says Victoria Police agreed buses should remain in Young St. Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said residents should make their views known now about the station redevelopment before council makes its official submission to the station precinct taskforce on 13 April. “The Frankston station precinct is among the 12 most used in the state and council’s vision is for a precinct that reflects that level of importance and is easy for commuters to use,” she said. “We have heard over the years what people want in this area and we now want to know if the draft accurately represents the community vision.” The redevelopment of Frankston train station and its surrounds is a high-profile project for the Andrews government in the marginal seat of Frankston. The deadline for public feedback is 6 April. A public meeting will be held at Frankston Arts Centre on Wednesday 1 April. Registration to attend is required by this Friday 27 March. See frankston.vic.gov.au for full details including council’s draft submission.

POSTCARDS From Nanna – to be staged in Frankston over the school holidays - is a show about discovering and liking people who are “different”. When Nanna (Andrea Rieniets) sets out on her grand adventure around Australia in Betty the Bubble Caravan, she takes Ruby Big Dog and Pauline the Parrot along for the ride. However, she doesn’t take into account just how different they all are, and fur and feathers fly when they find themselves swept up in a series of escalating musical misadventures. The show is performed by singer and composer Rieniets (aka Cha Cha Sam) and directed by Dr Andrea Lemon (Flying Fruit Fly Circus, Arena Theatre and Terrapin Puppet Theatre). “Kids love it because there is lots of dancing and getting involved, and lots of them bring their grandparents who love it, too,” Dr Lemon said. “Postcards from Nanna looks at diversity in a fun way that children can relate to: by telling a story about a parrot who is a bit mean and concerned only about herself; a dog who wants to eat everyone else’s food; and Nanna who is determined to have her own adventure regardless of what anyone else wants - and explore how they learn to get along. “The children laugh and dance, while the adults get the subtleties of the story about loving the ways we are different.” VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said a message “about embracing our differences” lay at the heart of Postcards. “The magic continues long after the show, when we encourage the

Arts experts bow out Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au TWO doyens of the Frankston arts scene have left the stage. The final curtain has fallen on Frankston Arts Centre manager Robin Batt’s two decades at the helm of council’s cultural headquarters and McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park director Robert Lindsay will step down in July. Ms Batt exited earlier this month with successor Andrew Moon, hired by the FAC in November, appointed arts and culture manager. Mr Moon was previously an executive at Arts Centre Melbourne for 23 years. Mr Lindsay told The Times he decided not to seek a further contract extension at the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park in Langwarrin after 13 years, four as deputy director and nine in the top job. “You establish what you’re doing and then move on for other people. I think the old idea of a job for life is an old idea.� The fine arts expert, a Melbourne resident, believes “you should move on every decade or so� but will keep an eye on Frankston’s arts scene. The installation of sculptures, including The Tree of Life by Phil Price, alongside Peninsula Link is an initiative Mr Lindsay would like to see further spread its roots. McClelland hopes sculptures may be installed as part of the new $50 million Frankston train station redevelopment and Mr Lindsay believes Frankston should embrace the public display of sculptures throughout the

city as a tourism drawcard. “Frankston could be the sculpture city by the sea. It could be unique and marketed as cultural tourism,� he said. “The most creative cities are the ones that flourish economically. We could create a new identity for Frankston. “It’s the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula and could become a major site outside Melbourne for the development of the arts.� “You could do something really special that would have an international profile and reinforce Victoria as the cultural capital of Australia.� Mr Lindsay originally visited McClelland to install the Rodin exhibition and realised the gallery and park at that time “had so much potential�.

Annual visitor numbers hovered around the 30,000 mark in 2002 and now number more than 130,000. There were 24 sculptures on display 13 years ago and there are 112 now at the gallery and park. Mr Lindsay said the biggest challenge McClelland faces is “a lack of moneyâ€?. Entry to the park is free. “Many of the works here have been donated ‌ we need wide community and government support. We have to raise 80 per cent of our annual budget.â€? Dame Elisabeth Murdoch was a major donor before her death in 2013 at the age of 103. Mr Lindsay said Dame Elisabeth and Neil Balnaves of The Balnaves Foundation had been “terrificâ€? backers of McClelland during his tenure as director. The gallery is advertising to find a successor to Mr Lindsay and he believes the arts hub is entering its “third phaseâ€? of development. He said the first phase was its establishment by the McClelland family, its second phase relied on Dame Elisabeth’s support and the third phase will involve trying to gain wider community backing. “Our present chair Lyn Williams is doing a superb job developing what I see as the third phase of development for McClelland.â€? Mr Lindsay plans to do “a variety of thingsâ€? after July “including a bit of writing and consultingâ€?. See mcclellandgallery.com for exhibition details and donation information. All donations are tax deductible.

MP’s motion irks Libs for second time in House POLITICAL gestures have embroiled Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke in controversy for the second time in as many months in Victoria’s Parliament. Mr Edbrooke was accused by Liberal MP Ryan Smith of making “a threatening gesture to me across the chamber� during a debate last Wednesday (18 March) about teachers’ performance in state schools. The member for Frankston denied the allegation in the House and the Speaker, Telmo Languiller, said he would review the video of proceedings before reporting back to Parliament. When contacted by The Times Mr Edbrooke denied he made a threatening gesture and said he and his Labor colleagues had been “scoring them [the opposition] on their points of order� and he had held up “three fingers�. “The Liberal government is still suffering from the embarrassment of their last four years in Frankston, and have nothing to offer of any substance, just cheap shots designed to take the focus off the rapid progress that is taking place under an Andrews Labor government,� Mr Edbrooke said.

Unfazed: Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke.

Last month Liberal MP Christine Fyffe claimed Mr Edbrooke has made an “offensive and intimidating gesture� during question time. Mr Edbrooke had merely made a “no deal� sign as featured in TV show Deal Or No Deal and ‘withdrew’ the gesture at the Speaker’s request. The first-term MP, who won the seat of Frankston by a razor-thin 0.9 per cent margin in November, brushed off the latest political stoush. “I will continue working night and day to ensure that Frankston has the best representation possible in parliament,� he said.

Three charged after Ice raids on houses TWO men arrested at a Frankston North house last Tuesday have been charged with possession and trafficking Ice. The men, aged 41 and 25, have been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 22 June. On Thursday a Seaford man was charged with trafficking and possession of the same drug and bailed to appear

at the same court on the same date. Sergeant Paul Bussutil, of Frankston CIU, said the raids were the result of “ongoing investigations in relation to methyl amphetamine trafficking in the community�. He encourages members of the community to report suspicious behaviour to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

THE Gaze family dynasty is still going strong in 2015 as Frankston Basketball Association readies to extend its operation into one of the best and the biggest on the Mornington Peninsula. It all began back in 1979 when Tony Gaze's Saba Bears walked onto the new Frankston Basketball Associations courts to compete in the National Basketball League. The basketball program that followed has turned into one of the biggest in the state. The Bears drew huge crowds each Saturday night at the Bears Den. Their popularity was so high that they took football off the back pages of the local papers. Unfortunately, financial problems saw the Bears fold and were replaced by the Bayside Blues who compete in the SEABL competition and have won many flags over the years. Tony Gaze 's legacy remains in the Frankston Blues program. His son Mark, who represented Australia and played for the Saba Bears, now coaches the Bayside Blues youth team. Mark's son Jack is in the team as well as the men's SEABL team. Mark's daughter Kate, after a fiveyear stint bringing the ball down for

Kate is also the Bayside's women's latest recruit for 2015, a prize signing for Frankston. Robbie Gaze is the Bayside Blues coaching director, his son Mitchell plays for Bayside juniors and is a member of the under-16 Boys state team. Tony's daughter Leanne Gaze has a daughter Meg who is in the Bayside women's youth league team as well.

The Gaze family and basketball are synonymous, Tony’s brother, Lindsay, and nephew, Andrew, are Australian Olympians and among the nation’s most revered sportsmen. Seven-time Olympian as both a coach and player, Lindsay was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in the United States in February. Andrew, considered Australia’s best ever basketballer, is an Olympian and multiple winner of Australia’s national basketball most valuable player award.

Frankston Times 23 March 2015

Petition calls on swami to quit HUNDREDS of names have been added to an online petition calling for the head of a Mt Eliza ashram to step down while police investigate allegations of sexual abuse. “Signatures” have come from around the world, including Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Serbia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the Unites States. Messages left on the petition call for the managers of the tax exempt Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga to appoint a new leader to replace Russell Kruckman, also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji. One message suggests selling the ashram in Tower Rd and distributing the proceeds to the alleged “victims”. Ed Muzika, of Arizona, said that in the Unites States Swami Shankarananda - a “friend for a long, long time” - “would be considered innocent until proven guilty”. “I have seen many generic allegations of abuse but no details that lend them credibility. I have no insider knowledge, and certainly don't know the truth here, so I don't know how much there is to this scandal,” Mr Muzika states. “However, as a teacher myself, I have seen first-hand, and with other teachers, how allegations are blown all out of proportion to the actual events, and teachers are considered abusers based on just a few allegations.” Meanwhile, a website established by former members of the ashram has announced it will no longer publish “testimonials” by those who claim to be adversely affected by the swami’s actions. “Now that the situation at Shiva Yoga is receiving the attention it deserves from the Victorian police, the legal system and other official servic-

es, this website can relinquish its role as whistle blower,” says a statement on the website. “We will however continue to share any factual news events and collect media releases to add to our resources page.” Two women who claim to have had sexual relations with the swami have attached their names to their personal accounts of their time at Shiva Yoga. Allegations of sexual impropriety by Swami Shankarananda with more than 40 women attending the ashram were revealed late December 2014. The school’s management committee said it had advice that no laws had been broken but would provide free counselling for affected ashramites and would adopt a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda. Swami Shankarananda issued a statement which, in part said he had “profoundly underestimated the impact” of the tantric sexual activities of his own spiritual leader “and my own. I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour. Indeed, it has been stopped already.” Keith Platt

Everything but a usual day at the beach Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au MOST of us know what it’s like to leave home for the beach on a sunny day. Anticipation builds in the drive to the coast, making the final scramble up the sand dune overlooking the beach appear as easy as a walk in the park. The panorama of a wide open, sandy beach and welcoming blue water brings smile to every face. Try doing this in a wheelchair. The sheer innocent enjoyment of climbing a sand dune on a sunny day is denied to those who can’t walk, haven’t the full use of their limbs or can’t stand unaided. Experiencing the feeling of being swept along by the natural energy of a wave is also something denied to many people who haven’t the full use of their bodies. On Saturday 14 March, 97 people affected by a disability had their time in the sun thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers brought to Point Leo surf beach by the Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch. Whether taken to the water’s edge in wide-tyred wheelchairs, offered a shoulder on which to lean or merely holding hands with a carer, one after another the surfers were delivered into the welcoming and willing arms of volunteers. A one-foot shore break broke softly into the offshore northerly wind as the blue-shirted volunteers formed a corridor within which the surfers could safely ride their boards to the beach. Some lay on their boards, some sat in the padded “chairs” (designed and made by not-for-profit Solve Disability Solutions) while others managed to get on their knees or even try standing. If they fell there were many hands reaching out to quickly scoop them from the white water and get them ready for a another ride. “I was quite astounded at the number of volunteers and the obvious enjoyment of the surfers,” Kevin Rydberg, of Mt Eiza, said. A lifesaver at Point Leo for 15 years in the mid 1960s and 1970s, the recently retired Mr Rydberg said he would “definitely” be among the volunteers for the next disabled surfers’ day in January 2016. “There’s some reasonably serious lifting needed, but I’ll be doing it at least until I’m 70,” he said. “This sort of thing makes you realise the truth of the term ‘there but for the grace of God go I’.

“How lucky are we? I’d been surfing at Flinders early that morning and it’s just something we’ve always done and take for granted. “One [disabled] guy could only signal to us by winking, he couldn’t move any of his limbs. “He couldn’t smile when he caught three waves, but when I held his hand I could feel a little movement. “Being there on Saturday gives people like me an insight into the meaning of having a disability and a respect and admiration for the parents and carers.” Mr Rydberg was pleased to see that the lifesavers and their clubhouse

were so involved with the disabled surfers. After checking in with the organisers, the first request made of this reporter was made by two young volunteers who wanted a smart phone picture of them standing on the sand dune with the idyllic beach as a backdrop. They then ran off giggling, disappearing into what appeared to be a small army of blue-clad volunteers. On the beach it soon became obvious that age or size is no barrier to either volunteers or surfers. The only recurring hitch was volunteers attaching harnesses to manually

haul the wheelchairs back along the beach and, when it was all over, up the sand dune. Hopefully, this effort will diminish over the next year if the DSA is able to raise enough money to build a wooden ramp and viewing platform over at least part of the Point Leo sand dune. The DSA is hoping the $60,000 cost can be shared by itself, Point Leo Life Saving Club, Point Leo Foreshore Committee and Mornington Peninsula Shire, which has referred its grant application to this year’s budget deliberations. DSA peninsula branch president Stewart Lochie said the response from

parents and carers had been overwhelming. Organising the surfers and volunteers had gone so smoothly that “it felt like there were only 50 surfers and not 100”. “We hear so many different stories, including ones where this has been the first time one of the surfers has even been to the beach or touched a surfboard,” Mr Lochie said. “Many of the surfers are helpless in even one foot of water, but we make safety and their happiness our priorities. “Seeing the result, and the smiles, validates what we do.”

LETTERS Judge actions, not words Contrary to the protestations of Flinders Mp and Environment Minister Greg Hunt (‘Independent Review’, Letters, The Times 16/3/15) about his great concern for the environment and all connected to it, his track record is a little less convincing. These include his aim of cutting great areas of Tasmanian world heritage forests from protection, or his silence on the Port of Hastings development in a Ramsar world heritage wetland, his distancing himself from a decision on wildlife corridors at a south eastern Melbourne housing development to protect the Southern Brown Bandicoot, his sign off on the Abbot Point dredging deals at the Great barrier reef. Luckily that decision has been reversed, but not completely, as it does not cover all of the World heritage site of the Reef. We should judge him by his deeds and not his words. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

‘Tattered’ reputation To take anything that Nepean MP Martin Dixon says about development on the peninsula with any degree of confidence requires a huge leap of faith from his electorate and, in particular, the residents of Red Hill who are concerned about the Arthurs Seat Skylift development. (‘Short Sighted’, Letters, 16/3/15). Let us not forget that Mr Dixon was a minister in the now disgraced Liberal government. A government that needlessly brought forward the East West Link contract weeks before the state election for its own political purposes. Mr Dixon’s government treated voters like fools and tried to blackmail us into a corner regarding the East West Link. Mr Dixon was also a fervent supporter of “selling” part of Point Nepean to private enterprise. The credibility of state Liberal party politicians and their federal counterparts is in tatters and any trust we may have invested in them has evaporated. For Mr Dixon to criticise the politicising of

developments and sovereign risk for anyone contemplating investment in the peninsula is laughable given the record of the Liberal government in which he was a minister I would rather place my trust in the views of local people through my local council than Liberal politicians who have a record of favouring developers to the detriment of their electorate. Geoff Selby, Moorooduc

Delaying tactics During the latest Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting it is interesting that Cr David Gibb used the same argument as did Nepean MP Martin Dixon of “no other purpose than to frustrate, delay or even prevent the development of the Arthurs Seat chairlift” (‘Short sighted’, Letters 16/3/15). If anyone would know how to use these tactics they would, as can be evidenced by the delay of the Rosebud pool for several years waiting for the “right” government to be elected to “approve” the foreshore site. In the end even that approval was thrown out. So, 10 years later we have no pool. The pool they eventually build will cost six times the original cost and we missed out on a $10 million contribution from the state government which, I believe, Frankston received. Joe lenzo, Safety Beach

Work visas It’s easy to say that welfare costs can be reduced by getting people off it and into jobs and that this would reduce the unemployment rate, but there is a big problem relating to this. The main problem is that businesses and companies do not want to and will not train people while there are so many people in this country on work visas. Around a year ago there were 900,000 people here on temporary visas, including 200,000 on 457 visas, 330,000 on other work visas and 370,000 on student visas (who can also work). Separate from this there were 650,000 New Zealanders on special visas, that’s more than one and a half million people, which would make up

seven per cent of the workforce if all participated. I think the unemployment rate is close to seven per cent, what a coincidence. This reduces employers’ incentive to employ Australian permanent citizens and train them when they have all this on tap and it certainly does not help mature age people getting a job, let alone school leavers. We have all these registered training organisations getting paid by the federal government (our taxes) to put people through courses but still need on the job training and work experience. The federal government needs to address the real problem and fix it. P Geeves, Somerville

Falling behind My letter to you (‘Level the field’, The Times 9/3/15) showed that quite a few people were sympathetic to the plight of the Nepean netballers with the number of clubs forfeiting A-grade games, creating a fragmented competition. I was contacted by several people who also raised the subject of the competition being officiated by club officials, as opposed to the footballers being umpired by an independent umpiring body. It was further pointed out to me that the football umpiring body had several assessors who attended various games for purpose of scrutinising their umpires, while the netballers have one umpire’s assessor who was rarely seen at most venues last season. The alliance CEO has stated that the provision of independent umpires would be costlier and would be borne by the playing members. How absurd it is that the independent umpires’ association whose impartiality is beyond question, has several assessors, while the allegedly conflicted club umpires have one. I approached a PNSA official and suggested that the two netball competitions, Peninsula and Nepean be amalgamated into one super league, or that the Nepean netball fixture not follow the football fixture, so that Nepean teams could play opponents every week.

When I suggested that the netball competition need not slavishly follow the footballers, I was met with a rolling of eyes, and the sentence “It’s probably too late for that now”. Most top class sports administrations strive to implement a can-do attitude, but the PNSA has fallen behind in this respect. Antony Nemaric, Somerville Double Disillusion.

Cultural leaders bow out By the end of June, Frankston will have lost the two leading lights of culture in this city. They will move on to other positions. Our loss. Robert Lindsay arrived at the McClelland Gallery with many wooden boxes and curated the Rodin exhibition. It was exhibited in Canberra and Langwarrin The only places in Australia. Robert stayed and in his 10 years as director and under his stewardship, the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park has delighted many, given opportunities to artists and developed a worldwide reputation as one of the finest sculpture Parks in the world. I was privileged to be a councillor on the panel when we chose a tall,confident and knowledgeable young woman to be the first manager of the Frankston Cultural Centre Therefore I am sorry to see that Robin Batt is leaving us after 20 years. Robin has brought innovative productions. She has mentored many young hopefuls who have gone on to achieve their ambitions. Robin ran a tight ship under the auspicious of the Frankston Council. Now the Frankston Arts Centre, it has Australia wide acclaim and international accreditation. This can only be achieved with careful and knowledgeable stewardship. I am writing this because I feel so much for these two special people. I am sure that I am not alone in wishing them every success and satisfaction in the future,knowing that they have left a legacy which will be hard to follow. Gail Dudeck, South Frankston

Blind golfers to tee off VISITORS to Blind Golf Victoria and Blind Golf Australia’s championships at Rosebud Country Club Golf Club next month will be able to watch and walk around the course with 30 of Australia’s top ranked blind golfers. Some of the golfers are totally blind and, to be able to hit the ball, they and their caddies work as a team to decide on shot selection and manage their progress around the course. The Victorian Open will be played on Monday

13 and Tuesday 14 April, and the Australian Open on Thursday 16 and Friday 17 April. Play each day starts at 9am. Entry is free and there is ample parking at the course. Lunch is available at the club’s restaurant. Those wishing to learn more about playing blind golf, or caddying for a blind golfer, can call Gary McInnes on 0417 055 731, or visit blindgolf.com.au or internationalblindgolf.com

Keeping your independence Aging is part of life and along with that comes physical deterioration. The good news is that not everyone is destined for care because there is a lot that can be done. Physical weakness and bodily pains are two common ways where people can lose their independence. Scientific research, however, suggests that it does not have to be like this. Specifically prescribed exercise programs have been shown not only to help conditions but also prevent injury. Arthur Lee, head physiotherapist from Home Visit Physiotherapy Australia aims to keep people out of hospital and out of nursing homes by offering home-based visits to increase people’s independence. “It is amazing how a small amount of exercises can improve what people can do around the home and in the community. I have seen the difference the right exercises can make for the individual � Activity people take for granted such as walking to the local shops or doing simple chores around the house can be a daily struggle for those who are becoming increasingly weak. Arthur Lee graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2000 with a degree in physiotherapy. Over the last seven years, Arthur has been introducing services in physiotherapy according to the needs of the community. He has won an award from the Australian Physiotherapy Association, and contributes to the profession as Vice Chair of the cardiorespiratory group. He has also been personally involved as a project physiotherapist for four different research trials, and is now also assisting in a Lung Cancer research trial. “I believe that healthcare services should be accessible, affordable and always up to date with current understandings in care� Home Visit Physiotherapy Australia started in Frankston and services the suburbs

Million dollar day stands alone SATURDAY’S William Hill Mornington Cup day looms as an historic one for racing on the Mornington Peninsula. For the first time in the Cup’s 95-year history, the event will be held on a Saturday, having recently been granted ‘standalone’ status, meaning Mornington is the focal point of racing in Victoria, and its millions of customers throughout Australia, in its busiest timeslot. The elevation from its customary midweek, mid-February position to standalone Saturday status signifies the recognition on the part of Victorian racing’s powers-that-be of the quality of the meeting, the third Mornington Cup card to offer $1 million or more in prize money. Contestants in the day’s feature race, the Listed William Hill Mornington Cup, will once again be racing for a share in $350,000, as well as a guaranteed start in October’s BMW Caulfield Cup, should winning connections exercise that option. With such a bounty at stake, the 2400-metre contest is widely regarded as the most important on the national racing calendar to be held outside a metropolitan area. Accordingly, a high quality field of stayers from right across Australia is expected to greet the starter. The undercard has also been bolstered for the 2015 edition, with two feature races added to an already excellent program, in the form of the Mornington Guineas and Mornington Sires’. Each to be run over 1500 metres and carrying a lofty $100,000 purse, the Guineas is a contest for three-year-old colts, geldings and fillies, while the Sires’ will decide the best juvenile (two-year-old) of the day. Another addition to the Mornington Cup day

schedule is the $50,000 MackTow Marathon Series Heat 2 which, over 3400-metres, forms part of a series of races conjured by the Melbourne Racing Club in 2014 to foster the state’s rising staying talent. These new races complement the existing program, consisting of the $120,000 Listed Hareeba Stakes (1200m), which last year unveiled the talent of top sprinter Knoydart, and the Mitavite Challenge Final (1600m). Offering $80,000 in prize money, the Mitavite Final is the culmination of a series of races run throughout February and March. Its winning horse’s trainer will be also benefit nicely from his or her victory: feed and clothing to the value of $5,000 courtesy of Mitavite. On the other side of the fence, Mornington Cup day offers an afternoon of entertainment to match the quality of the racing, including a variety of food and drink options and packages, live music, and the famous Bayside Shopping Centre Fashions on the Field. The event also marks the finale of the ‘Relaxed Racing’ period, a campaign by the Victorian racing industry to encourage racegoers to make the most of sprawling lawns the like that within the grounds of the idyllic setting at Mornington Racecourse. A novel ticket offering at Saturday’s event is the V.I.Picnic, which includes admission for two adults and up to four children, a picnic rug to keep, gourmet hamper and entry into an exclusive site alongside the home straight. With premium racing, food and drink, entertainment and fashion offerings to cater for all tastes, Saturday’s William Hill Mornington Cup has all the hallmarks of a sensational day out.

WILLIAM HILL MORNINGTON CUP DAY SATURDAY 28 MARCH For the first time, Mornington’s biggest race day will be held on a Saturday and we’re celebrating with live music, action-packed racing and the Bayside Shopping Centre Fashions on the Field. Sit back and relax in style with a V.I.Picnic, which includes a gourmet hamper, your own reserved picnic blanket and home straight views of Victoria’s richest country cup.

Wez Hunter – local trainer on the rise PENINSULA blood running through his veins, Wez Hunter will never forget where his passion for the thoroughbred came from. Hunter’s grandfather, an amateur horse trainer, and his father, a longtime racehorse owner, stimulated his interest for racing at an early age. “Mum has photos of me running around in the family racing colours, which we still use today.” Hunter says. Hunter began his schooling at Red Hill Consolidated which neighboured famous nursery Kingston Park Stud, the home of equine legend Kingston Town. “I had a great admiration for Kingston Town and these great champions inspire you to be a part of their lives.” It was at Padua College in his midteens, when Hunter was searching for work experience placement and he was able to access a real racing stable. “I had nowhere to go for school work experience and was advised to see Gabe Noonan, my art teacher and wife of local trainer Tony Noonan,” says Hunter. “I made the transition to riding work for various local stables and then Tony gave me a few pre-trainers to work with.” After breaking his back riding as a 19-year-old, Hunter eventually settled into a full-time role at Tony Noonan Racing. “Tony was tremendous, was happy to hand me responsibility and taught me what it takes to be a horse

trainer,” Hunter recalls. During this period Hunter delved into jockey management, helping gifted young riders Brad Rawiller, Andrew Findlay and Lonaghan Milham. It is no wonder with such broad industry experience behind him, the 34-year-old horseman has hit the ground the running as a trainer. The Mornington Cup is the biggest day on the Peninsula racing calendar and Hunter is in the zone with his hot team, as he prepares for the day’s first standalone Saturday cup fixture. “We were successful last year with Cult Of Isis and always target Mornington Cup Day with our better horses.” Bargain buy Magnus Lad will headline the Hunter charge at a Mornington Cup Day feature, the $120,000 Listed Hareeba Stakes (1200m). “We purchased him out of a paddock in Pearcedale and vets advised he would never make it to the track. He has won $100,000 in this preparation and just loves his racing.” Hunter also eyes the $100,000 Mornington Guineas 3YO (1500m) with stable mate Pepperjack, a close relation to Apache Cat. Pepperjack will carry the colours made famous by the grand sprinter. Hunter values the important role his partner Meredith Tuckett plays in the day-to-day running of his business. While Hunter watches his horses work, it is usually Tuckett who is riding the stable band of horses, while

also looking after the administrative side of the business. “Meredith works very hard, riding about eight a morning, while also doing all the accounts and holding a 9-5 job,” Hunter notes with admiration. A recent move from his base near Mornington Racecourse to the magnificent property Pinecliff in Mount Eliza, Hunter has a great foundation

BLACKOUT

SALE

to grow his business further. “Pinecliff is sensational. We are still close to Mornington to take horses to the track for gallops and mixing that with the beach where horses can rejuvenate and hold their fitness levels is a benefit to my horses.” Hunter cites the access to the superb beaches on the Peninsula and the quality pasture in paddocks as a

huge advantage to training horses in a stunning, south eastern pocket of Victoria. One of the hottest new talents in the Australian training ranks, stocks in Wez Hunter are selling fast so support a local talent and get to Mornington on Cup day to fly the Peninsula flag.

Fire season ends but warnings remain THE fire danger season has come and gone without serious incident in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. Although fire restrictions were officially ended on Monday, the CFA has warned that each municipality has its own laws governing the lighting of fires in the open. The CFA each year sets the fire danger period based on local conditions and takes into account fuel moistures, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. The CFA’s assistant chief officer Trevor Owen said anyone who lights a fire in dangerous weather or fuel conditions or lights a fire that damages another person’s property whether intentionally or not “is guilty of a serious crime”. “Residents need to keep an eye on the weather and be aware of their surroundings. We’ve had a relatively quiet fire season this year, but there’s no need to be complacent,” Mr Owen said. “People should ring the Vicfire Burn Off Line before conducting any burns and use their com-

mon sense. Any fire left unattended in windy conditions can spread into bushland, onto a neighbour’s property or into other materials which will cause untold damage.” Mr Owen said local laws should be checked before eny burning. After being lit, no burn-off should be left unattended and calls should be made to neighbours and the Vicfire Burn Off Line “so that brigades don’t get called out to burn-offs unnecessarily”. “Check the weather forecast before you burn off and never burn off in dry, hot, windy conditions,” Mr Owen said. To download a Fire Ready kit, complete the household bushfire self assessment at www.cfa. vic.gov.au or call the Victorian bushfire information line 1800 240 667. Information about fire restrictions is available in CFA’s ‘Can I or Can’t I’ brochure available at www.cfa.vic.gov.au/restrictions or by calling the bushfire information line 1800 240 667.

NBN makes its way through city HOUSES and businesses in Mt Eliza and parts of Frankston South are next up for connection to the National Broadband Network. The 5400 premises are in Mt Eliza south of the village, and Frankston South from Sweetwater Creek to Humphries Rd, including parts of Overport Rd. Workers will soon start clearing Telstra’s pits and ducts. The announcement brings the total superfast broadband connections under construction in the area to 17,400. About 8800 premises in Karingal and a small part of Frankston are already

able to connect. Other parts of Frankston, Baxter and Mornington are due for connection by the middle of next year. Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said communications issues includes neighbourhoods with poor or no broadband service and commercial areas because businesses rely on up-to-date technology to be competitive and succeed”. Mr Billson said he was “heartened to see” about 300 premises connect to the NBN in the past three weeks. Got to nbnco.com.au/maps to see where the service is available.

Tea Ercoles: Horses and racing inspire her works. Picture: Yanni

Art celebrates horses and the cup A COLOURFUL art exhibition at the Mornington Peninsula Library celebrates horse racing and the Mornington Cup. Artist Tea Ercoles has been painting horses throughout her career. “The Mornington Cup is very special to me as my late husband and I used to attend the race and I have lots of fond memories of this time,” she said. “These memories have driven my desire to express my admiration for the beautiful horses, as well as the sport. I often paint horses and horse racing as I really enjoy this subject matter. “Horses are such powerful creatures. I try to show their shear mass of muscle, strength and speed as well as the emotion of the race. All that is missing is the sound of them galloping down the straight and the crowd cheering them on.

“The horse theme has often represented a stage of my artistic and personal journey through life. To me it represents finding an inner strength.” Tea’s family have lived on the peninsula all their lives and its beauty still inspires her. She is grateful to the Mornington Council for giving not only herself - but emerging and established artists - the opportunity to exhibit works in their beautiful public space. Her free exhibition will be on display in the library foyer, 2 Vancouver St, Mornington. It runs until 17 April and is open to the public during library hours.

Garden lovers: Tammy and Malcolm Fraser at home at Merricks in 2013. Picture: Yanni

A grazier gardener who grew into a statesman OBITUARY

John Malcolm Fraser, 1930-2015 Prime Minister By Fran Henke FORMER Prime Minister and Merricks resident Malcolm Fraser, died on Friday, becoming revered as a radical in his retirement, perceived as a statesman. Leaving ‘toxic’ party politics behind in 2010, having presided in 1975 over one of Australia’s most notorious political events (‘The Dismissal’) he moved on to speak out against apartheid, in support of multiculturalism, strongly in defence of refugees, and on the rights of Indigenous Australians. “It’s time for Australia to grow up�, he stated. Entering parliament in 1955 at the age of 25, Mr Fraser with his craggy good looks and gruff personality, was seen as an elite from Victoria’s wealthy Western District grazier class. Cartoonists depicted him as an Easter Island statue – tall, distant and immovable. But in his 70s and 70s he became more a man-of-the-people, willing to speak up, unconstrained by politics of the day. Mr Fraser and wife Tammy moved to Thurulgoona, Merricks, from Nareen, their property near Hamilton,16 years ago. The Frasers chose the peninsula after considerable exploration Mrs Fraser explained in interview about the garden in 2013, because “elsewhere they seemed too retired�. The site offering just red clay and a lone pine, was chosen for its views of Western Port and the opportunity to make another great garden. They had opened their former garden 25 years ago to support the new open garden scheme and to help keep staff going on Nareen. “There was drought, stock prices were low, it was a difficult time,� she said. At Merricks their relaxed country-style garden attracted as many as 10,000 visitors, involving the former prime minister in problems of

parking, rebuilding a bridge for access as well as answering questions from the visitors. (Sadly after 27 years the garden scheme of which Mrs Fraser became president, also has died). Malcolm Fraser had long been a breeder of camellias (notably C. japonica ‘Tamie Fraser’) so his pride and joy was the camellia section. Not just for camellias, the area also known as a ‘cigar garden’ featuring a special seat for what Mrs Fraser described as ‘anti-social habits’. Gardens reveal their ‘staff’: behind a hedge was an area dedicated to improve the short part of the Frasers' golf game, mostly played at Flinders. Nearby Mr Fraser had a shed, home to his woodturning equipment, and boat. A Hastings neighbour, keen fisherman, recalls seeing a bloke at the Stoney Point launch ramp struggling with his vessel. “Need a hand mate?� he called, looking up to see the familiar features of the former prime minister. Mr Fraser was more used to ocean fishing out of Peterborough, south of Nareen. He was also keen on photography and cameras. Loved his dogs too. At the interview two years ago I noted how agile Mr Fraser was, bending to weed, to deal with Choc and Grizzle the dogs, moving easily for his age, of which his wife was clearly proud. A colleague recalled “he always presented as a politician, only letting down his guard when speaking about something he enjoyed: cameras (Leicas), cars (Lancias), fishing and, once when I noticed a painting or picture of a British cruiser on his office wall, the second world war and fall of Singapore�. There was a quote for which Mr Fraser was famous, often misquoted back according to the toxic politics of the day. It came from Back to Methuselah by George Bernard Shaw: "Life wasn't meant to be easy, my child, but take courage: it can be delightful." Malcolm Fraser was a man of courage, who delighted in life, however tough. He died after a short illness on March 20, survived by his wife and four children.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Tragic drowning off Stony Point Compiled by Melissa Walsh IN accordance with our usual practice, at Easter time, the next issue of the paper will be published on Thursday evening instead of Friday. All advertisements for that issue will require to reach this office by midday on Thursday. *** MR Harry Jackson, of ‘Cheer Oh,’ Frankston, has volunteered for active service, and is now in camp at Broadmeadows. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Brass Band will be held in the practice room, on Tuesday evening next, at 8 o’clock. *** THE Railway Department has published in this issue, a list of extra trains which will run during Easter week, between Melbourne and Frankston. *** MESSRS A Scott and Co will hold their monthly stock sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will offer a good yarding of sheep and cattle. The sheep will be sold in lots to suit purchasers. *** AT the Patriotic Parade of high class dogs held at Federal Government House Grounds on Saturday last, Mr Doug Picking, of Frankston, took first prize and challenge blue ribbon with his old English sheep dog, ‘Frankston Lorna Doone.’ *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold

an unreserved clearing out sale at Tower House, Frankston, on Monday next on account of Mr W. H. Hoad, who is leaving the district, and on Wednesday next, prior to the usual produce sale at the mart, Bay Street, will offer the whole of Mr E. A Worrall’s household furniture and effects. Full particulars of both sales will be found in our advertising columns. *** ON the 18th inst the first load of fruit delivered by motor arrived at the Somerville railway station, and created considerable interest to the onlookers. Mr E A Dunn is the owner of the motor to which he has adapted an attachment, capable of carrying 22 cases of fruit so that in one morning he sent up 48 cases in the time that it would take a horse to do one load. We congratulate Mr Dunn on his enterprise, which will expedite considerably the transit of fruit to the station, and prove a boon to the growers in the district. *** MR Arthur Douglas, the Australian ‘Harry Lauder’, from Rickards so well and favorably known in this district, has been engaged for the forthcoming novelty concert, given by the Somerville Musical Comedy Company, on Easter Saturday, April 3rd. The program consists of tableaux, illustrated songs, solos and choruses, and will be followed by a dance. Admission 1/, members half price. In view of the great expense of Mr Douglas’s engagement, the Social

Club feel obliged to charge their members 6d. We feel sure a bumper house will, as usual, greet the company. Mrs Duncan Puckle has the arrangements in hand. *** THE first meeting of the Somerville Ladies’ Guild for the year 1915 was held on March 18th. There was a good attendance of members. Mrs C. W. Grant occupied the chair. Dr Griffith, who with Messrs C. W Grant, S. S. Gault and G. W. Reed was present by invitation spoke of the great necessity of work for the Red Cross Society. Mr Grant suggested that the Guild should suspend its work and another society be formed. This was done, because the first rule of the Guild states that it was formed to work for the paying off of the show grounds and buildings. It was decided to postpone the next meeting of the Guild to that day 6 months. A society to work in connection with the Red Cross requirements was then formed with Mrs C. W Grant as President, and Mrs Geo. Shepherd as secretary and treasurer. A letter was received from Mr A. G. Carver, secretary of the Somerville Social Club, stating that £3 10s was available. A subscription of 2s for ladies was decided upon and 2s 6d for men. Material will be available for a sewing meeting on Thursday, 25th. To augment the funds a jumble fair will be held on Easter Monday, and a concert by the State school children a little later.

*** MESSRS A Patterson and G W Wells, of Frankston, have gone to Tasmania for a holiday trip. *** TENDERS are invited up to April 3rd, for the erection of additions to the Mechanics’ Institute at Somerville, for which specifications can be seen at the Somerville Post Office. *** A NUMBER of tenders are advertised in this issue for works in the Frankston and Hastings Shire, specifications for which can be seen at Somerville P.O. and Hastings Corner Store. Tenders are returnable at Somerville up to Thursday morning next. *** MR E T Kinnimont announces, in our advertising columns, that he has purchased the hairdressing business lately carried on by Mr E A Worrall, in Bay street, Frankston, and hopes to retain the patronage that was accorded his predecessor. Mr Kinnimont formerly resided in Barham, New South Wales. *** A SPLENDID exhibition of fruit, vegetables, fancy work, etc, is on exhibition at the show today, and is a sight well worth seeing. The show will be opened at 2 pm. today, and will remain open till 10.30, when competitors may remove their exhibits. Splendid entries have been received in spite of all indifferences. *** A VERY sad drowning fatality

happened on Sunday evening last, when a boating party was returning from Cowes. The boat was under the command of N. Amendola, who had with him 3 others, namely Neilson, Lothian and Jennings. They left the pier about 4.30 p.m with the intention of only going for a sail as far as Stony Point, but as there was such a fine breeze blowing they decided to go across to Cowes, arriving there about 6.30 pm and left for home again at 7.30 p.m. The wind had freshened a little, and every thing went alright until they were nearly to Stony Point when Neilson fell overboard and N. Amendola dived straight in after him, but unfortunately neither has been seen since. Lothian and Jennings searched about the vicinity as best they could in the dark until about 4 a.m next morning but could find no tidings. They then brought the bad news home and Constable O’Shannassy and J. Amendola (father of one of the victims) left to search the locality where the accident happened, but up to the present no tidings have been found. N. Amendola was a single man, 27 years of age, and had been fishing in the bay all his life. Neilson was a married man with a family and was 43 years of age. The latter had only been here a few weeks, having been in the employment of Ryan Bros. Great sympathy is felt for the relatives of both men. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 March, 1915

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Rise and fall of the billy cart kid By Stuart McCullough WE used to make our own fun. This was back in a time when “fun” could be built pretty much from nothing and didn’t have to be downloaded, inserted into a gaming console or placed on lay-by. In an effort to fill the weekend hours, we embarked on all manner of enterprises. Some were abandoned (attempting to build a rocket big enough to hold one of my siblings), some we ought to have abandoned (the rope swing from which I fell and broke my leg) and some came to glorious fruition. These included the BMX track – which was basically a dirt track with a lump of earth at the end we called a “jump” – and a cloned Hereford calf we called “The Sequel”. We also made our own billy cart. Despite my enthusiasm, I was inept. I’ve never been much good with my hands; unable even to build suspense, I stood no chance of building anything resembling a billy cart. At scouts, in art classes or at pottery lessons, everything I touched ended up an ashtray. Had either of my parents smoked, this might have been useful. Had they known anyone who smoked, we would have had a steady supply of presents. Instead, they ended up mostly as decorations that, after a time, would simply go missing. This deficiency was made all the more clear to me because I had a younger brother who was very good at building anything he turned his mind to. He could build an internal combustion engine out of toothpicks. To spite me, he’d take pipe cleaners,

old toilet rolls and a tub of glue and build a fully functioning robot. Most of the time I ignored him but when he’d bring out the Lego and use it to re-create 16th century Venice, complete with canals, it was impossible. Anxious to compete, I produced my own Lego to make something that looked a lot like an ashtray. Why I thought I could build a billy cart I’ll never know. More mysterious still is why I thought it would be a good idea. We had a gravel driveway leading to a road, also made of gravel. It was a world of dirt and stone. By its very nature, it made certain activities – rollerskating, skateboarding and, indeed, billycarting –inherently difficult. We were not to be deterred.

Luckily for me, my brother agreed to help me build the billy cart. The body was made of wood and bore an uncanny resemblance to a miniature coffin. The wheels were transplanted from an old pram and steering was a length of a twine that had once held a hay bale together. We took turns pushing each other down the driveway, doing our best to avoid the potholes. The lack of suspension meant that every bump bit into your buttocks. There was also risk of splinters. As for brakes, they were notable only for their absence. But despite its obvious flaws, I thought our billy cart was a thing of beauty. Everyone knows a kid like Neville Newman when they’re growing up.

popularity polls and out he pops with another gem by suggesting first home buyers access their super duper, ensuring life on the dole from ages 65 until death, at apparently 100 years or later. Lah lah land. Go Joe, go, please.

keeps the mind active. I’ve had my victories in life, not too many but enough to anticipate the next, or the one after. As a union president, vice-president, organiser, committeeman always the battle, always trying to extract the pennies out of their massive pockets to place one or two into ours. It boils down to this: if you sit on your backside and do nothing you might just as well be on their side, and their side is devoid of any sympathy. Not with hate, or even nastiness, simply by keeping on punching. To put it plainly “have a go, ya mug”. Oh, it’s also a lot of fun.

He was in my class at primary school and his family always seemed to be doing something impossibly cool like riding jetskis or racing motorbikes. As I excitedly revealed the existence of the billy cart, Neville shrugged his shoulders and told me that he, too, had built a billy cart. What’s more, his was faster than mine. There is a time for talking and a time for action. We agreed that determining which of us, indeed, had the fastest billy cart was a matter best resolved by way of a race. Nev suggested we meet at Vista Court on Saturday. On arriving that weekend, I knew instantly that I was out of my depth. For starters, Vista Court was not made of gravel but of

bitumen. The street name was a reference to the fact that you could see over the entire Western Port region. The whole thing was downhill. Suddenly, I realised that Neville’s selection of Vista Court was no accident. Then he revealed his billy cart. It was made of fibreglass. Being the Seventies, this may well have been the first time that fibreglass was ever used in Australia. The wheels were large and sturdy and unlikely to have ever been attached to a pram. For a moment I deluded myself; that what I lacked in terms of equipment I could more than make up through sheer heart and determination. As I have grown older I have realised that people who are about to receive the beating of their lives often think such thoughts. Had you been watching from a distance, it would not even have looked like a race. Neville streamed down Vista Court, shoulders curled over the steering wheel and moving with a speed of a startled rabbit. I could only watch as the speck that was Nev grew smaller and smaller as his lead grew ever more substantial. By the time I reached the end of Vista Court, Neville had not only finished the race but also completed primary school. It was my first absolute shellacking. I tried to be gracious, but the bitter taste of defeat, as well as a few random insects, was hard to dislodge. I immediately announced my retirement and the billy cart was never again pressed into service. It sat in the shed along with all the things I had tried but surrendered. Maybe someone could use it as an ashtray. www.stuartmccullough.com

A Grain of Salt ASIDE from the small percentage of ratbags invading us during January, Easter and long weekends, our pathetic public transport system and our vote being as valuable as a cigarette butt, the Mornington Peninsula is up there as “heaven on a stick”. During these rare idealistic moments I consider voting for The Greens - at least they recognise the failure of policy on our cruelty to refugees. But no - that’s stretching credibility. I tell myself to relax, soak up the autumn, get through Easter and it’s plain sailing through to Cup Day. With Billy Boy Shorten seemingly sight (and policies) unseen it will all be calm on the political front? No chance, as Lord Tony and little Joey step up to the plate, a great comedy duo to rival the classical Clarke and Dawes. *** The intergenerational report (our future?) is a classic document of fiction prepared almost entirely from the point of view of the Coalition’s political agenda. If things keep going as expected for 40 years says Joe, we’ll be 77 per cent richer on average than we are now? Who, them or us? Maybe let’s first do something about the $36 billion of superannuation tax concessions, $31 billion of capital gains tax concessions, and the $10 billion of tax foregone on the negative gearing? Interesting that this mob, who do not believe in climate change, believe we’ll all live to 100 soon. Them or us? We were spared little Joey after his disastrous 2014 budget; kept his conker down for months allowing Lord Tony to take the flack. Alas, they allowed him to open his mouth after a short shift in the

*** Mind you, if Joey could pick a few holes in negative gearing, ban interest only loans and allow some sort of super access percentage restrictions he may have half an idea. Particularly concerning the big difference in renting on a full pension and owning, when rents increase and the renter tries to earn an extra quid only to have my mates at Centrelink go the biff on his/her pension. Renting is cheaper early years and there’s very little accumulation of super anyway, but late 20s into the 30s could have merit coupled with negative gearing action. Never forgetting Lord Tony on his Aboriginal remote communities “lifestyle” choices, conveniently forgetting 200 years of genocide and dispossession to remote spots in the first place. Lifestyle can also be attributed to miners, public schoolkids, farmers, superannuation for rich kids over 60 and of course Canberra itself, and all of them are far more expensive than maintaining remote communities. What’s that? Rupert’s tax rebate and Gina’s tax credits? Chicken feed. *** Over the many years I’ve often asked myself the burning question “Why do I keep going?” After all the bottom line is as clear as crystal: You can’t win. True, but like a good game of table tennis you concentrate on the next point. Little fish are indeed sweet. It

*** Our government has flagged a desire to simplify the Temporary Work (Entertainment) visa, which reads as I see it letting overseas actors and crews take local jobs. Presently, restrictions are along the lines of one lead role, one supporting and one cameo but if this gets through it could be open slather. New Zealand actor Roy Billing OAM said: “We actors need to look past the narrow thinking of our unions and its current leadership, and our own selfishness, and consider the added work opportunities more production would give to etc etc”... Perhaps New Zealand actors undergo a masterclass on how to suck up to the right people before embarking to Aussieland? *** A delightful piece in The Age from Patricia Edgar in praise of ageing and particularly “Good sex is not just the preserve of the young”.

It’s not easy waking to an empty bed, thus the need for exercises, coffee mornings at Maggies and my two pots at the Rye RSL. It never replaces the need, like a cigarette, but it helps.

It is not enough to withdraw from the mob, not enough to go to another place: we have to withdraw from such attributes of the mob as are within us.

TIM MORRISON TO SHINE AT THE MORNINGTON CUP By Simon Mills

THERE are few places Tim Morrison feels more at home than on a stage, rock band settled into a groove behind him and a captive audience in front of him hanging off his every lyric. As one of the many featured artists performing at this year’s Mornington Cup, race fans are in for real treat and an exciting new Saturday format. It’s a familiar sight for fans of Tim’s previous band, popular Melbourne rockers Trial Kennedy, combined with new fans who witnessed him on hit talent show The Voice. And now it’s a sight Australian music fans can once again look forward to with the release of Shine, Tim’s first solo single. Shine, the first of many solo tracks Tim has ready to be put down on tape, led this Melbourne boy into the studio of good friend and acclaimed rock producer Hadyn Buxton, who last worked

with Tim on Trial Kennedy’s 2011 album Living Undesigned. Having written Shine on piano, Tim knew he wanted to play the instrument on the recording and the end result is a track that soars. There is urgency to the bristling keys of the intro that opens out into a gorgeous rock chorus propelled by that voice. It’s a voice honed through years of live performing and now Tim is giving it reign to tell his own stories. “There is something extremely exhilarating about creating music on your own,” Tim says of being a solo artist. “Of having that freedom of creative control.” “But on the flip side you lose that joy of creating as a group. You really cannot compare the two. You love them equally but they’re just different.” Having stepped out on his own, Tim has spent the last year writing

and recording tracks here and overseas, working with a whole range of producers interested in hearing Tim develop a style all his own. “The Voice made me realise who I do and don’t want to be as a musician and for that I am forever grateful. Strangely enough, my experience also taught me not to take myself too seriously,” Tim explains. And Shine is only the beginning. It won’t be long before Tim Morrison is back in the charts and making himself right at home.

“THE MIGHTY ROCK”– MICK PEALING By Simon Mills MICK Pealing was born in the 1950s in Adelaide, South Australia to an English migrant father and a local girl mother. His parents were both music lovers and Mick, along with three sisters and a brother, were brought up on a healthy menu of jazz and the eclectic playlist of 60s commercial radio, which would play everything from Motown to Merseybeat and all stops in between. Not actually knowing he could sing, or have a voice that might be pleasing to the ear, Mick decided one afternoon in the early 70s to go to a local concert put on by some local musos, where he reluctantly got up to sing after being pointed out as someone who might know the words to Free’s All Right Now. Although he sang with his back to the audience, Mick sang the song well enough to be asked to join the band. This band contained two members, who in a couple of years would become ‘Stars’. A reputation as a singer soon emerged and Mick, after trying his luck with local acts Flight and Nantucket, eventually came together with members of AstraKhan which featured Mal Eastick, Glyn Dowding and Andy Durant (who was about to go overseas for some time). Along with Graham Thompson, this became a 4-piece band known as Flash which specialised in hard rock covers from Free and Deep Purple, alongside some original material. After a year or so of supporting interstate acts at Hindley Street’s Countdown among other venues in South Australia, Beeb Birtles saw some potential and recommended the band to Michael Gudinski of Mushroom Records. A deal was signed and the band by this time known as Stars went on to record two singles, Quick On The Draw (produced by Beeb) and With A Winning Hand. Realising they might not have the ability or time to come up with enough songs for their first album, Andy Durant, who by this time had returned from overseas with a

clutch of self penned songs, was approached and rejoined the band. Former Little River Band bassist Roger MacLauchlan replaced Graham Thompson resulting in Stars first album, Paradise. Stars hit the road touring with acts like The Beach Boys, Linda Rondstadt, ELO also performing their own sold out headlining shows. Andy Durant passed away in early 1980 from cancer and a fitting tribute was held later that year at The Palais Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne. Being one of the first of its kind The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert featured Andy’s songs performed by the remaining members of Stars, Cold Chisel, Renee Geyer, Richard Clapton and basically the cream of Australia’s rock talent at the time. The concert live double album topped the charts around the country, with all proceeds going to The Peter McCallum Cancer Clinic. Over the next three decades Mick continued to front his own bands, The Ideals, The Method and The Spaniards with former Feretts singer-songwriter Billy Miller. A single God Is A Shield, produced by Molly Meldrum, and mini album Locked In A Dance was released. Today, The Mick Pealing Band continues to tour, featuring music from Mick’s past and his two solo albums, Precarious and Grand Hotel. Mick says, “the time seems right to get these great songs back on stage and performed live, after all… we have all the time in the world”. “The Mighty Rock” Mick Pealing is joined by band mate and Australian Blues icon Chris Wilson (Broderick Smiths Big Combo, Buster Brown, Ideals, Angry Anderson, The Giants) at Davey’s Hotel Frankston as part of their Sunday Soultrain sessions on Sunday 29 March. The show starts at 3pm and is a free event. For further details see daveys.com.au

Baxter remain the yardstick PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula cricket superstar and Baxter skipper Daniel Warwick guided his team to a well deserved premiership on Saturday at Alexandra Park. In front of a packed house, Warwick stayed at the crease to the very end, celebrating yet another silver cup in the Baxter Cricket Club trophy cabinet with an unbeaten 69. Baxter’s opponent, Sorrento, lost its fourth grand final on the trot and one wonders whether they will ever taste the ultimate glory. Whilst Baxter held the upper hand

heading into the third and final day on Saturday, it still took some individual brilliance to get the job done. Sorrento’s intent was obvious from the outset and that was to score runs quickly, get a big lead and try and bowl Baxter out with as many overs up their sleeve as possible. A lead of around 170 would have been the target, however, Baxter’s bowlers, refreshed after a week off, removed Sorrento skipper Nick Jewell very early, courtesy of Ben Smith. The rest of the six bastmen who followed failed to get to double figures. Anthony Blackwell made 35, however, he had half of those last week. Sorrento made 211 in their second

innings, adding to the miserly 51 they made in the first. This left Baxter with a target of 154 to win. Having already won the match on first innings, Baxter had two ways to play it. Bat out the day without making the runs, or go for it and reach the target. Baxter has always played boldly and they were always going to aim for the latter. They did it in the 59th over in fine style. Whilst Warwick was the second innings hero with 69, Joe Rule also played a significant role in the victory with his 32. When he came to the crease, Sorrento had a real sniff at 2/14.

However, other than Blackwell and AJ King, Sorrento really were short another bowling option. Warwick didn’t look threatened at any point and with a more than reasonable batting line-up behind him, they were always going to see out the day or make the runs required. Blackwell finished with three wickets and seven for the match. AJ King snared two wickets and five for the match. The match belonged to Baxter though. Dale Irving finished with match figures of 6/65 from 25 overs. Chamika Sattambi was superb also, picking-up 8/64 from 25 overs across the three days.

Ben Smith made 49 in the first innings and took three second innings wickets. Baxter was professional throughout the match, despite plenty happening around them. They are undoubtedly the benchmark of Mornington Peninsula cricket and adding Delacombe Park skipper Chris Brittain to the squad next season is only going to make them stronger. In a tight, tough season, Baxter Cricket Club proved it was the cream that could once again rise to the top. Winning flags has become a habit for the club and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Eagles lead all the way DISTRICT By IT Gully SOMERVILLE will play in Provincial grade next season after hanging on strongly to win the MPCA District grand final. Although the Eagles had won the match last week on first innings, Red Hill coach Simon Dart was always going to exercise his option of trying to get a reverse outright on the third available day. Red Hill made 170 in their first innings and Somerville replied with 224 after Brenton Alp and David Kuelen made an 80-run partnership when their side was in some trouble at 5/121. Red Hill needed quick runs and they sure got them on the final day, making a quick fire 186 in just 26 overs, giving themselves plenty of time to bowl out Somerville. The Eagles simply needed to occupy the crease for the duration of the day to win. They also had the option of scoring the 133 runs. Given more overs, Somerville would have easily got the runs, however, they were happy to spend as much time at the crease as possible. Red Hill used six bowlers in an attempt to capture 10 wickets, however, they managed to get just two of them. The Eagles finished 36 overs at 2/104. It was enough to taste the sweet nectar of premiership glory and look forward to a return to Provincial cricket. Red Hill was the dominant team in the home and away season, however, its finals campaign wasn’t so convincing. Somerville was always the danger team and it proved to be the case when it mattered most.

Swinging up to Provincial: Somerville defeated Red Hill in their Grand Final and will play Provincial cricket next season. Picture: Andrew Hurst Frankston Times 23 March 2015

Panthers claw memorable victory SUB-DISTRICT

Jason Nagel then removed Herbert with the third ball of his 24th over and it appeared the Panthers had stolen defeat from the jaws of victory. Rosebud obviously celebrated like they had just won the grand final. Who can blame them. However, little did we know at that point that the match was far from finished. Pearcedale sent the Buds back into bat and at one stage had them 7/8. That’s right, it’s not a misprint. Bryant and Geoff Glaum added some very valuable runs at the end to at least get the Buds to 70. Panthers’ skipper Chris Dew was brilliant, picking-up 7/22. Someone needed to stand up with Gillings unavailable to bowl and Dew stepped to the front of the line. This left Pearcedale with 14 overs to score the 74 runs required for victory. Amazingly, they achieved it in 8.5 overs. Fittingly, Chris Dew (20) was at the crease when the winning runs were made. At the other end was Max Blackburn, who returned to his original club after a spell of playing elsewhere. Whilst Rosebud had thought they had won the match, Pearcedale was always looking to fight it out to the end. They achieved their objective. Pearcedale will now play in District Grade next season.

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE pulled off one of the greatest comeback wins of all time on Saturday to beat Rosebud in the Sub District grand final. After the first two days of the match last weekend, Rosebud was in the box seat to win. They had made 152 on the Saturday and had Pearcedale in a real spot of bother at the close of play on Sunday, seven wickets down with 50 runs still to get. With Shayne Gillings down with a hamstring injury, many wondered how Pearcedale was going to pull it off. The Panthers may not have achieved the impossible on the first innings, but what followed will probably never, ever be done again. The third day of this match had more twists and turns than a 1960’s dancefloor. Pearcedale had achieved the unthinkable in the first innings, getting to the point where they needed just three runs to win the match with two wickets in hand. John Herbert was looking the goods on 45 and together with Gillings (11), looked as though they were going to get the target. However, Rosebud opening bowler Adam Bryant removed Gillings and it was game on again.

Jockeying for position: This tackle looked more like something you’d see at this Saturday’s Mornington Cup. The picture was taken during the Karingal versus Tyabb practice match. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

YES, Cheese AMATEUR CHEESEMAKERS WHEEL OUT THEIR BEST FOR THE RED HILL SHOW

One week from now, Bruce Charlton will be checking the ambient temperature in his small cheese fridge. Hoping that his washed rind cheese has matured at just the right rate. And crossing his fingers that the finished product turns out just like the practice batch he made last week. “I will be entering a feta, a small handmade goat’s cheese and a washed rind which is made from cow’s milk,” explains the amateur cheesemaker, who is a chef by trade. “I made a washed rind yesterday, which was a practice for the competition. And of course it was perfect. Next week, it might not be the same. It’s hard – I torture myself with it!” Cheesemaking is a tricky, exacting game; one which brings together science, a ‘feel for the curd’ and even a little magic. Jan and Trevor Brandon have all three skills in spades; as evidenced by their highly successful business, Red Hill Cheese. Trevor had long been making cheese for friends and family when the couple decided to open their business in 2000. 15 years later, the business is one of the Peninsula’s tastiest culinary success stories.

The couple also run cheesemaking courses from their Red Hill cheesery, and many of the entrants in the Red Hill Show’s Amateur Cheesemaking competition first learned their craft from the Brandons. The Brandons’ son, Burke, has taken over the role of Chief Cheesemaker, but come Red Hill Show Day on March 28th, it will be Dad Trevor who is again centre stage, as he co-judges the Show’s Amateur Cheesemaking competition. Just do not be misled by the ‘Amateur’ title. “The reason I enter is that the criteria is really high”, says Bruce Charlton. “They don’t give away ribbons, take it from me. You don’t want to be judged by a plonker! For hobbyists, it sets a high benchmark: when you do well, you know you’ve done well.” The Red Hill Show takes place at the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday 28th March. The Peninsula’s most impressive agricultural animals and produce will be on show, alongside culinary offerings and competitions to thrill even the most ardent foodie.

“The business possibly grew too fast!” laughs Jan Brandon when reflecting on the demandfor their celebrated sheep, goat and cows milk cheeses.

Animal Magnetism Bronwyn Stewart of Sea Crest Farm is doubtful that Bonnie Lass and Bonnie Skye will take home any prizes in the cattle competition at this year’s Red Hill Show. But she also knows that the lack of a medal will not dent their popularity with the Show crowds. Highland Cattle, with their big horns, Scottish heritage and wooly coats are scene-stealing bovines. Better still, Stewart’s cows are quiet and accustomed to wearing a harness, which means that requests to pat and brush the animals are usually met with an enthusiastic “yes!” “We probably won’t win a medal on the day because the Highlands are a little breed”, explains Stewart. “Since there are no other Scottish or English breeds entered we’ll be judged in the Beef Breeders competition.” Being out of medal contention does not dampen Stewart’s enthusiasm for the Show. She will be exhibiting 8 of the 41 Highland cows from her Flinders farm, and cites “interaction with the crowd” as one of her key reasons for participating in the Show. “One of the great things about Red Hill is that they let people walk past the head of the cattle; at other shows they have people going past the tail,” she says. “When you go past the head, you can engage with the animal much more – you can feed them hay, have your hand licked.” The Flinders naturopath runs her 100 acre breeding farm using complimentary farming methods. That means no fertilisers or pesticides; just plenty of pure, unsprayed Peninsula grass, homeopathic treatments, herbs…and happy, glowing Highland cows. See Bonnie Lass, Bonnie Skye and their Highland friends in the agricultural pavilion at the Show. Frankston Times 23 March 2015
